Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist
Compassion Focused Therapy
The healing properties of compassion have been written about for centuries. The Dalai Lama often stresses that if you want others to be happy-focus on compassion; if you want to be happy yourself-focus on compassion.
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) is a system of psychotherapy developed by Paul Gilbert that integrates techniques from Cognitive Behavioural therapy, with concepts from evolutionary psychology, social psychology, developmental psychology, Buddhist psychology and neuroscience.
It is helpful in working with people who have high levels of shame and self-criticism and have great difficulties in being kind to themselves, feeling self-warmth or being self-compassionate.
People who have experienced abuse, bullying, high expressed emotions in the family, neglect and or lack of affection can be highly sensitised to criticism from the outside world and often feel high levels of threat. They themselves develop their own self-critic and can continue to attack themselves beyond the time of their trauma experience.
Clients who have experienced early life trauma or difficulties related to abuse and bullying in later life engage with the cognitive and behavioural tasks of therapy and find they understand the logic behind the therapy, become skilled at generating alternatives for their negative thoughts and beliefs but don’t feel any better. They may say, “ I know I am not to blame for the abuse but I still feel that I am”.
One of the key components is to use compassionate mind training to help people develop and work with experiences of inner warmth, safeness and soothing via compassion and self-compassion. Learning ways to be understanding, empathetic, kind and forgiving towards yourself can alleviate years of emotional pain.
Therapy
Most of us can be affected by emotional problems at some point in our lives.
The problems may resolve themselves in time or may end up continuing for a long time. At this stage additional help from a health professional such as a Cognitive Behaviour Therapist may help to solve the problem more quickly and effectively or help you to find tools to manage. |
Q:
How to get a custom image content type to show up in the Ephox editor?
Using Percussion CM System, I have a custom content type for images, actually using the PSOImageEditor imedImage type. How do I get Images of that type to show up in the Content Browser selection list when users click the insert CMS Image icon in Edit Live? I've scanned through the docs and config files but nothing is jumping out at me.
A:
You need to edit the sys_inline_image slot in workbench under Assembly Design and add the content type/template pair you want to add.
Most slots you are adding a snippet template as the allowed template but for sys_inline_link and sys_inline_variant you add the binary template(s), this is because the system just generates the link to the item based on its published location scheme for these slots.
You can add more than one template for the same type if you have more than one image field on the type you may have a binary template for each.

Q:
Constrain Rectangle within Rectangle
I am using Java's Rectangle class in a program.
I have two Rectangle objects:
Rectangle big = new Rectangle(...);
Rectangle small = new Rectangle(...);
The specific sizes of the rectangles are not important. However, big will always be larger than small (in both width and height).
Usually, small is entirely contained within big. I can use Rectangle#contains to verify this. However, when this is not the case, I would like to move small to be entirely contained within big. The dimensions of neither rectangle should change.
For example:
I know could use four conditionals with Math.max and Math.min, but is there a more elegant way of doing this?
A:
You could do it with only Math.max and Math.min. Try something like this:
small.setLocation(
Math.max(Math.min(small.getX(),big.getX() - small.getWidth()),big.getX()),
Math.max(Math.min(small.getY(),big.getY() - small.getHeight()),big.getY())
);
You'd have to consider readability though.

Q:
Scala Spring EhCache not caching internal calls
I've set up a little test project at scala-spring-cache to demonstrate using the ehcache-spring-annotations in Scala.
In order to get caching to work, aspects must be used. I've got configuration to use CGLIB or AspectJ (or one can add @Scope(proxyMode = TARGET_CLASS) to get proxies just for that bean).
With aspects for auto-proxies, caching works fine when called from outside the class. However, it fails when a method is calling inside the class:
@Cacheable(cacheName = "thingy", decoratedCacheType = SELF_POPULATING_CACHE)
def expensive() = "bob"
def internallyCalling() = expensive()
Here, calls from outside the class to expensive() will use the cache, but calls to internallyCalling() will not use the cache.
How can I fix this so that caches can be used internally (like in Java)? Is it even possible?
A:
This doesn't seem to be possible in Scala.

Quantum quenches in an XXZ spin chain from a spatially inhomogeneous initial state.
Results are presented for the nonequilibrium dynamics of a quantum XXZ -spin chain whose spins are initially arranged in a domain wall profile via the application of a magnetic field in the z direction, which is spatially varying along the chain. The system is driven out of equilibrium in two ways: a). by rapidly turning off the magnetic field, b). by rapidly quenching the interactions at the same time as the magnetic field is turned off. The time evolution of the domain wall profile as well as various two-point spin correlation functions are studied by the exact solution of the fermionic problem for the XX chain and via a bosonization approach and a mean-field approach for the XXZ chain. At long times the magnetization is found to equilibrate (reach the ground state value), while the two-point correlation functions in general do not. In particular, for quenches within the gapless XX phase, the spin correlation function transverse to the z direction acquires a spatially inhomogeneous structure at long times whose details depend on the initial domain wall profile. The spatial inhomogeneity is also recovered for the case of classical spins initially arranged in a domain wall profile and shows that the inhomogeneities arise due to the dephasing of transverse spin components as the domain wall broadens. A generalized Gibbs ensemble approach is found to be inadequate in capturing this spatially inhomogeneous state. |

Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio took a shot at Donald Trump during an appearance on Fox and Friends, saying the presidency didn’t need another man with no class.
When asked about Trump, Rubio agreed that illegal immigration was a serious issue, but that Trump was the wrong man for the job. “Here’s what’s so important to me; the presidency of the United States is not just the top government official. It is the leader of our people and our nation as well.”
“It’s important we have– to conduct the presidency, it has to be done in a dignified way, with a level of class,” he said. “I don’t think the way he’s behaved over the last few weeks is either dignified or worthy of office he seeks.”
“We already have a president now that has no class,” Rubio continued, in a swipe against President Barack Obama. “I mean, we have a president now that does selfie-stick videos, that invites YouTube stars there, people who eat cereal out of a bathtub… he goes on comedy shows to talk about something as serious as Iran. The list goes on and on.”
But Rubio brought it back to Trump in the end. “It’s important to have a presidency that restores dignity and class to the White House. And I don’t believe that some of the language Mr. Trump is employing is worthy of the office. I just do not.”

'A to Z' alum Christina Kirk also will join the 'Community' and 'Suburgatory' stars in the Vanessa Hudgens starrer.
NBC's DC Comics comedy pilot Powerless is rounding out its cast.
Community grad Danny Pudi, Suburgatory alum Alan Tudyk and A to Z's Christina Kirk have boarded the comedy starring Vanessa Hudgens, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The single-camera workplace comedy is set at one of the worst insurance companies in America — with the twist being that it also takes place in the universe of DC Comics. The project is about the reality of working life for a normal, powerless person in a world of superheroes and villains.
Hudgens stars as Emily Locke, an insurance claims adjuster who finds herself increasingly exasperated by the disruptive antics of the various superheroes that proliferate in her city.
Tudyk (Zootopia, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) is set to play Del, Emily's new boss in the claims department. Del has just been promoted — not through any merit of his own, but because he’s the owner’s son. A self-proclaimed “rich, overeducated globetrotting wastrel,” Del is a power-mad disastrous dictator of a boss.
Pudi, who last season starred in NBC pilot Strange Calls, will play Teddy, Emily's best friend at work and her trusted confidante. He spends his days creating time-wasting pranks as a way to make their office, the "least super place on earth," just a little less "unsuper." The casting brings the actor back to NBC, where Community started its run before wrapping up at Yahoo.
Kirk, who will reunite with A to Z writer/executive producer Ben Queen on Powerless, will portray Jackie. A fan of superheroes, Jackie has plastered her office cubicle with beefcake shots of super guys. New claims department boss Del makes Jackie his personal assistant, and she begins buckling under his unreasonable and impossible demands.
Powerless is being written by Queen (A to Z), who will executive produce alongside Michael Patrick Jann, with the latter set to direct the pilot.
Tudyk is repped by UTA and Coronel Group; Pudi is with UTA, Velocity Entertainment and Bruce Gellman; and Kirk is with the Kohner Agency and Circle of Confusion.
Keep up with all the latest pickups, castings and eventual series orders with THR's handy guide to pilot season. |
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — This city, according to Americans with only a vague notion of it, is a down-home, run-down, industrial, beautiful, Catholic kind of place. It is progressive and conservative, country and urban, dangerous and quaint. A college town, really, but with high poverty. And corn.
South Bend has proved oddly illegible to the rest of the country, ever since its (now-former) mayor, Pete Buttigieg, attracted national attention with his campaign for president. What you make of him may depend on what you make of the place that is at the foreground of his entire biography in government. But is that place a prosperous university town? A struggling post-industrial city? A community that has combated blight like Detroit, or that more closely resembles Ann Arbor?
Many voters, Mr. Buttigieg said, have indeed been confused.
“They often assume because of the link to Notre Dame,” he said, “that this is a tidy, white, wealthy, homogeneous college town.” |
Q:
Is there a way to tell sed to ignore symlinks?
I have a directory A with a bunch of files with .xml extension that I need to run a search-and-replace on. There are a couple of symlinks (also with .xml extension) in A that link to certain files in A. I tried running sed -i 's/search_regexp/replacement_string/' *.xml but when it hits a symlink it fails with
sed: ck_follow_symlink: couldn't lstat file.xml: No such file or directory
A solution would be to loop around the files that I actually want to modify and call sed on each file, but is there a way to tell sed to ignore symlinks? or just follow them and modify the linked file?
A:
@piokuc already named the option for following symlinks, here's how you can ignore them with find first:
find /path/to/dir/ -type f -name "*.xml" ! -type l -exec sed -i 's/search_regexp/replacement_string/' {} \;
or, slightly more efficient:
find /path/to/dir/ -type f -name "*.xml" ! -type l | xargs sed -i 's/search_regexp/replacement_string/'
The ! -type l part means "not anything that is a symlink"

A New Zealand bar manager appeared in court in Myanmar on Friday on charges of insulting religion after posting an online advert showing a psychedelic image of Buddha wearing headphones.
Philip Blackwood said he “didn’t mean any bad feeling for the post” and asked for forgiveness.
Blackwood, who denied the charges last month, could face up to two years in prison if convicted.
Two local employees were also charged along with Blackwood.
Blackwood runs the V Gastro Bar in the former capital, Yangon.
The image has been removed from the Facebook page and replaced by an apology.
The arrests came during a surge of religious nationalism in Myanmar, a predominantly Buddhist country. |

Q:
Backup Jenkins log files to external cloud storage
I'm looking to automatically back up Jenkins log files for all jobs running on our master and slaves once a week, moving them to aws' s3 and deleting them from their respective directories when done.
My question is, is there an existing plugin that has the capabilities I need, or will I need to do this manually?
I've found the Periodic Backup Plugin but it only seems to back up locally, and is focused on config files, not log files (although I could use negative pathing to ignore everything but log files...which would be a massive pain). Likewise, ThinBackup is also config-only. I'm hoping someone might have seen something googling isn't turning up.
A:
Historically, I approached this a bit differently. I added a post-build step to each job, and had it copy the output to S3 at execution time via the S3 plugin. This blog post covers the moving parts n a pretty granular detail.
You may want to reference
wget -O console-output.log ${BUILD_URL}consoleText
as the output for the job in question in your build task.
A:
Corey's answer ended up inspiring me to take another look at the plugins available, this time considering anything that could be applied to jobs as a post-build step.
I found AWS CloudWatch Logs Publisher Plugin, which is a post-build step that pushes your logs to CloudWatch. Not quite the destination we originally had in mind, but it worked for us. Easy to configure too! Only downside is it doesn't currently have Pipeline functionality.

Hand Fractures
A broken bone results in pain, swelling and difficulty using the affected part. Many people don’t know this, but a bone fracture is the same as a break.
What is it?
As you may know, the hand is made up of many, small bones that create a supporting framework. The frame provides a point of attachment for the various muscles that control wrist and finger movement. A broken bone results in pain, swelling and difficulty using the affected part. Many people don’t know this, but a bone fracture is the same as a break. Some fractures are simple, and though the bone is broken, it is still aligned. More serious breaks result in the bone pieces becoming unaligned. A comminuted fracture causes the bones to shatter into many pieces and is often the result of a strong force. An open (or compound) fracture happens when a bone fragment comes through the skin, which causes a risk of infection.
What causes it?
When enough force is applied to the hand’s delicate bones, a fracture will occur. This force can be caused by many outside forces as well as an accidental fall.
What are the symptoms?
There is usually pain, swelling, or stiffness in the body part. It is also often very difficult for the patient to move the injured part.
How do we diagnose it?
The physician must observe the injury and conduct a physical exam. In addition, you should be prepared to provide your medical history, as well as information on how the injury occurred.
How is it treated?
A medical exam and x-ray are often required for your doctor to be able to tell if a fracture has occurred, and to determine the best course of treatment.
Depending on your specific case, one of the following treatments may be recommended:
Splint/Case – A fracture that’s not displaced can be treated with a splint or cast, which protects a break that has been set. Some fracture sets need to be held in place with wires or pins which do not require an incision.
Surgery – Some fractures might require surgery in order to be properly set surgically with internal pins, plates or screws. Occasionally, a bone might be missing or so severely damanged that it can’t be repaired. In that case, we use a bone graft from another part of the body to lend stability.
External Fixator – Metal bars that are attached to pins outside of the body can be utilized until the bone heals.
When the fracture regains some stability, therapeutic exercises should be employed to make sure that stiffness doesn’t set in. We will determine when the bone is ready for limited movement.
In treatment, the bone doesn’t need to be perfectly aligned necessarily to regain function. Challenges with healing include stiffness, position shift, and infection. It has been shown that smoking may slow bone healing. |
Illuminating cell signaling: Using Vibrio harveyi in an introductory biology laboratory.
Cell signaling is an essential cellular process that is performed by all living organisms. Bacteria communicate with each other using a chemical language in a signaling pathway that allows bacteria to evaluate the size of their population, determine when they have reached a critical mass (quorum sensing), and then change their behavior in unison to carry out processes that require many cells acting together to be effective. Here, we describe a laboratory exercise in which the students observe the induction of bioluminescence or light production as an output of the quorum sensing pathway in Vibrio harveyi. Using both wildtype and mutant bacterial strains they explore the induction of community behavior via cell-cell communication by determining whether there is a correlation between the density of the bacterial population and the production of light by the bacterial culture. Using data from a cross-feeding assay the students make predictions about the identity of their strains and directly test these predictions using conditioned media from various liquid cultures. This two part exercise is designed for an introductory biology course to begin familiarizing students with collecting data, making predictions based upon the data and directly testing their hypotheses using a model organism with a cell signaling pathway that has a simple visual output: light production. |
A discarded cigarette started a blaze which destroyed a One Nation campaign truck in Hobart, discrediting claims by the party that the "left" was to blame.
Senate candidate Adam Lambert had been driving the truck, emblazoned with the faces of Pauline Hanson and her team, and was inside a Howrah shop on Sunday when the fire began.
On Thursday, police said the fire was not deliberately lit and firefighters revealed the likely cause was an ember from a discarded cigarette.
A One Nation campaign truck in Hobart caught fire. (One Nation/Twitter)
"This determination is based on there being no evidence of a deliberate ignition source, or any fault with the vehicle, in addition to CCTV footage not showing anyone at the back of the vehicle at the time," the Tasmania Fire Service said.
The white Holden ute caught fire at Shoreline Plaza the day after the federal election.
Mr Lambert posted a video to Facebook - showing flames leaping high above the cabin of the ute - saying he walked out of the shop to find the vehicle ablaze.
"If you don't like us don't vote for us, but for those magnificent supporters who have voted for us, this is a little more encouragement on how we have to work a bit harder for you guys next time," he said.
Senator Hanson said "someone was seen torching it before fleeing".
"It is amazing how the left call for tolerance but act like they're above the law when you don't agree with their ideologies," she wrote on social media.
While there is no evidence of a crime, police want to hear from anyone with more information about the fire. |
SPDY for Rest of Us
There had been lot of buzz around SPDY lately, which is a brand new protocol introduced by Google to make the web faster. Most major browsers and web servers have begun to make releases with SPDY support. So I felt it's worthwhile to explore more about SPDY and how it matters to us as web developers.
What is SPDY?
The concept of world-wide web was developed on top of the HTTP protocol. It's an application layer protocol that uses TCP as the transport layer (if this layered concept confuses you, read about the OSI model ). HTTP is stateless; which means for each request, client has to create a new connection with the server. Though it initially helped to keep things simple, it causes issues with current demands of the web. SPDY is designed to address these shortcomings in the HTTP protocol. It uses a single connection for all request/response cycles between the client and server. Core of SPDY is the framing layer which manages the connection between two end-points and the transferring of data. There can be multiple data streams between the two end-points. On top of the framing layer, SPDY implements the HTTP request/response semantics. This gives us the possibility to use SPDY to serve any existing web sites with little or no modification.
What are the benefits of using SPDY?
Since there's no connection overhead for each request, response latency would be low.
The way SPDY is designed mandates to use SSL for all communications between client and server, which means the sites would be more secure .
Rather than waiting till client initiate a request, server can push data to client with SPDY. This will help the sites to do smart prefetching of resources.
Is it production ready?
Many Google's apps and Twitter already uses SPDY to serve their content. Amazon Silk browser is also known to use SPDY powered proxy.
Visit the following URL in Chrome, to see which sites are currently using SPDY.
chrome://net-internals/#spdy
How can I add SPDY support for my site?
Easiest way to add SPDY support is by enabling mod_spdy for Apache. Mod_spdy alters Apache's default request/response cycle via hooks and add SPDY handling. Speed gains by switching to SPDY may vary depending on the existing configurations of your site. If you are using HTTP performance optimizations such as wildcard asset hosts (ie. assets%d.example.com), that could cause SPDY to create multiple connections with the same end-point, thus reduce the efficiency. Some browsers like Chrome handles this smartly by pooling the connections. Also, CDNs such as Amazon Cloudfront still doesn't support SPDY, so those resources needs to be loaded using HTTP connections. You can use a tool like Chromium Page Benchmarker, to check how your site performs with and without SPDY under different configurations.
Do I need to have a SSL certificate?
In the initial connection, mod_spdy uses SSL handshake and Next Protocol Negotiation (NPN) to notify SPDY availability to the client. Also, to work across existing HTTP proxies SPDY requires data streams to be tunneled through SSL. This means currently you will need to have a valid SSL certificate for your site to support SPDY. However, it is possible to test SPDY locally without SSL. For this, you can run Chrome with the flag --use-spdy=no-ssl and you may use a SPDY server implementation that works without SSL.
Does SPDY help in building real-time web apps?
It's worth noting that SPDY doesn't provide any special benefits for the use of WebSockets. Though, they might look similar in the higher level descriptions, they are totally independent protocols. They are created for different purposes and even the internal framing algorithms of the two are different. On the other hand, SPDY's inherently asynchronous streams will help in implementing features such as Server-Sent Events.
SPDY is not a silver bullet!
SPDY will continue to improve as a more stable protocol and with the time it will succeed the HTTP protocol. Unless you run a heavyweight site, there won't be any immediate effect by supporting SPDY to your conversions or cost savings. So it's always better to start with the general page optimization techniques and then consider SPDY if you still want to cut down those extra milliseconds.

Pain as a Barrier to Human Performance: A Focus on Function for Self-Reporting Pain With the Defense Veterans Pain Rating Scale.
The intense physical demands and dangerous operational environments common to Special Operations Forces (SOF) result in a variety of painful conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, headaches, and acute and chronic pain from combat injuries. Pain is a wellaccepted barrier to human performance. The Pain Management Task Force and the development of the Defense Veterans Pain Rating Scale (DVPRS) are discussed to provide a framework for changing the culture of pain management away from intensity of pain to interference with function and performance. The emergence of complementary and integrative pain management (CIM) practices is briefly reviewed as viable alternatives to the traditional reliance on opioids and other prescription medications. The SOF community can be the change agent for the DVPRS and CIM approaches to pain management, which will in the end serve to accelerate recovery and return SOF operators to duty faster and with an enhanced ability to perform with less pain. |
Q:
A button or box with mouse hover
How can I make a button or something, where you can hover over the box or button and see a small page. Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGSUZwvFqG0 and hover over a name in the comments and you see what I mean :) thank you, please answer :)
Facebook has something similar if you hover over a name but I please you not to post this code. thx
I tried to make something with a modal box but it doesn't work like the thing on youtube.
On Facebook the box is fixed but on YouTube it isn't
A:
I'd start off with something like this:
<div class="person">
<a href="link.html">Name</a>
<div class="info">Here is more information, add anything you want here</div>
</div>
Then in css:
.person{
position:relative;
}
.person .info{
position:absolute;
//Change these to position the box wherever
top:10px;
left:10px;
display:none;
}
.person:hover .info{
display:block;
}
This will show a link, that when hovered over, will show more info. It's rough, but is a good jumping off point. Adding some javascript could make this behave a little nicer, consider using something like hover intent for instance.

Q:
Why don't my ValidateEntity errors show up in my view?
I've got some POCO Model classes that I've setup for use with the Entity Framework. I do some validation in my DbContext's ValidateEntity override. I return a DbEntityValidationResult from the ValidateEntity function, and I can see that during run-time I do add some DbValidationErrors. I can even see those errors inside of the ModelState inside of my Controller function, using the following code ...
catch (DbEntityValidationException ex)
{
foreach (var entity in ex.EntityValidationErrors)
{
foreach (var error in entity.ValidationErrors)
{
ModelState.AddModelError(error.PropertyName, error.ErrorMessage);
}
}
}
But for some reason those errors don't show up for the desired property name in the Razor view. I use a view model that looks like the following ...
public class CharacterCreateModel
{
private Character m_character;
#region Properties
public Character Character
{
get
{
return m_character;
}
set
{
m_character = value;
}
}
#endregion
}
And in my Razor view, which is strongly typed using this CharacterCreateModel view mode, I just use the standard @Html.TextBoxFor, etc.
Validation errors coming from the Character model properly display, but validation errors from the ValidateEntity function are not showing up for that property name.
Any idea why not?
A:
You need to include the ValidationMessageFor helper in your code to show model level properties.
You should have
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Character)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Character)
If this in not showing the errors change the
@Html.ValidationSummary(true)
at the top of your view to
@Html.ValidationSummary(false)
so you can see all the validation errors and make sure they're actually being added correctly.

Q:
Adding Advance Custom Field field in Genesis Framework template
What can I do in order to add an ACF textarea into a Genesis child theme template.
I tried a lot but did not find any way.
Thank you.
A:
First you have to figure out where you want to put the field. You can either use one of the genesis hooks (see here) or perhaps your modifying a theme field directly in which case you can just paste the code whereever you want.
For example if you're using a hook and you want to put it in your header, you could do something like:
add_action('genesis_header', 'add_content_to_header');
function add_content_to_header() {
echo get_field('my_textarea_field');';
}
Or do put it directly into a child theme template file, just put this whereever you want:
the_field('my_textarea_field');';

Silanization of polyelectrolyte-coated particles: an effective route to stabilize Raman tagging molecules adsorbed on micrometer-sized silver particles.
Micrometer-sized Ag (microAg) powders are very efficient surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. To use microAg powders as a core material for molecular sensors operating via SERS, it is necessary to stabilize the tagging (i.e., SERS-marker) molecules adsorbed onto them. We demonstrate in this work that once the tagging molecules are coated with aliphatic polyelectrolytes such as poly(allylamine hydrochloride), the base-catalyzed silanization can be readily carried out to form stable silica shells around the polyelectrolyte layers by a biomimetic process; any particle can therefore be coated with silica since polyelectrolytes can be deposited beforehand via a layer-by-layer deposition method. Even after silanization, the SERS peaks of marker molecules on microAg particles are the only observable peaks since aliphatic polyelectrolytes, as well as silica shells, are intrinsically weak Raman scatterers, and more importantly, the SERS signals must be derived mostly from the first layer of the adsorbates (i.e., the marker molecules) in direct contact with the microAg particles. Silica shells, once fabricated, can further be derivatized to possess biofunctional groups; therefore, the modified microAg particles can be used as platforms of highly stable SERS-based biological sensors, as well as barcoding materials. |
A reporter was forcefully ejected from the press room where President Trump and Vladimir Putin's joint news conference took place Monday.
Sam Husseini, a writer for "The Nation," held up a sign that read "Nuclear Weapon Ban Treaty" as other members of the press snapped photos of him.
After an official unsuccessfully attempted to swipe the paper out of Husseini's hand, Husseini was removed by multiple Secret Service officers.
'Own This Debate': Ex-CIA Officer Says Trump Must Enforce a Red Line With Putin
Fox News chief White House correspondent John Roberts said that members of the press are allowed to ask pointed questions during news conferences, but are not permitted to hold up signs or make statements.
"It's pretty clear that he came in here to make a statement," Roberts said of Husseini.
Roberts added that Husseini had previously been removed from the room and talked to, but was then brought back inside.

Thermodynamics aspect of high pressure hydrogen production by water electrolysis
Hydrogen can be produced from water electrolysis which can operate at atmospheric
pressure or high pressure. Today’s industry including vehicle one, devotes efforts to produce high
pressure hydrogen by using pressurized electrolyser. The purpose of this work is to estimate the ideal
electrical energy needed for high pressure hydrogen under high pressure water electrolysis
conditions. Calculations are based on the estimation of the enthalpy and free Gibbs energy of water
electrolysis at various pressures and temperatures, referring to both the work of LeRoy & Onda. |
Great ape gestures: intentional communication with a rich set of innate signals.
Great apes give gestures deliberately and voluntarily, in order to influence particular target audiences, whose direction of attention they take into account when choosing which type of gesture to use. These facts make the study of ape gesture directly relevant to understanding the evolutionary precursors of human language; here we present an assessment of ape gesture from that perspective, focusing on the work of the "St Andrews Group" of researchers. Intended meanings of ape gestures are relatively few and simple. As with human words, ape gestures often have several distinct meanings, which are effectively disambiguated by behavioural context. Compared to the signalling of most other animals, great ape gestural repertoires are large. Because of this, and the relatively small number of intended meanings they achieve, ape gestures are redundant, with extensive overlaps in meaning. The great majority of gestures are innate, in the sense that the species' biological inheritance includes the potential to develop each gestural form and use it for a specific range of purposes. Moreover, the phylogenetic origin of many gestures is relatively old, since gestures are extensively shared between different genera in the great ape family. Acquisition of an adult repertoire is a process of first exploring the innate species potential for many gestures and then gradual restriction to a final (active) repertoire that is much smaller. No evidence of syntactic structure has yet been detected. |
Peroxiredoxin II promotes hepatic tumorigenesis through cooperation with Ras/Forkhead box M1 signaling pathway.
The current study was carried out to define the involvement of Peroxiredoxin (Prx) II in progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the underlying molecular mechanism(s). Expression and function of Prx II in HCC was determined using H-ras(G12V)-transformed HCC cells (H-ras(G12V)-HCC cells) and the tumor livers from H-ras(G12V)-transgenic (Tg) mice and HCC patients. Prx II was upregulated in H-ras(G12V)-HCC cells and H-ras(G12V)-Tg mouse tumor livers, the expression pattern of which highly similar to that of forkhead Box M1 (FoxM1). Moreover, either knockdown of FoxM1 or site-directed mutagenesis of FoxM1-binding site of Prx II promoter significantly reduced Prx II levels in H-ras(G12V)-HCC cells, indicating FoxM1 as a direct transcription factor of Prx II in HCC. Interestingly, the null mutation of Prx II markedly decreased the number and size of tumors in H-ras(G12V)-Tg livers. Consistent with this, knockdown of Prx II in H-ras(G12V)-HCC cells reduced the expression of cyclin D1, cell proliferation, anchorage-independent growth and tumor formation in athymic nude mice, whereas overexpression of Prx II increased or aggravated the tumor phenotypes. Importantly, the expression of Prx II was correlated with that of FoxM1 in HCC patients. The activation of extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) pathway and the expression of FoxM1 and cyclin D1 were highly dependent on Prx II in H-ras(G12V)-HCC cells and H-ras(G12V)-Tg livers. Prx II is FoxM1-dependently-expressed antioxidant in HCC and function as an enhancer of Ras(G12V) oncogenic potential in hepatic tumorigenesis through activation of ERK/FoxM1/cyclin D1 cascade. |
Joel Carroll drew the best team of super-powered animals ever for this latest Little Legion commission - The Legion of Super-Pets ! The Super-Pets are another part of the Legion of Super-Heroes' past that many consider to be goofy, but that I think are awesome. They were a backup squad and allies for the Legion, and they were a bit scary when you think about it. I mean, here are four animals who basically have the powers of Superman, plus a shape shifter. Who on earth would try to go against them? I wish DC would bring these guys back, along with a lot of the other fun elements of the Legion's history.
In the Super-Pets lineup we have Streaky the Supercat, Comet the Super-Horse, Beppo the Super-Monkey, Krypto the Superdog and Proty II. I was so pleased when I saw this finished commission because I did not know that Joel was so great at drawing animals! And Protians! Making animals in capes and S-shields look cool and somewhat realistic is not an easy thing, and I'm glad that Joel did both. Thanks again, Joel!
If you like this piece then please do go buy some books featuring Joel's work in either physical or digital format and/or go commission him yourself. |

Description
At the moment Solr Search Engine indexes Content field data in multivalued fields. This means values from different translations are stored in the same document, in multivalued fields. Because of this no sorting support on field data (Field sort clause) is implemented. Also, having all languages indexed in the same document means relevancy calculation won't be correct.
Using Solr's multicore/sharding capability to index Content field data per language would enable implementation of Field sort clause while keeping correct document/term statistics per language.
Search would have to target all/specific cores/shards, depending on the set of languages that need to be searched. Grouping should be used to resolve matches of the same Content (but different language) from the different cores/shards. |
Q:
Backbone Dynamically created 'el' not binding events
Like many other users out here I have a problem with 'el' and events. In my situation I have tested multiple solutions including, using the default el (just '') setting tagName, setting el to a selector using a jQuery selector and wainting for the DOM to be ready. Each of these solutions have failed at binding the events and all but the default el and tagName have failed at generating html.
Relevant code
View
$ ->
class Aggregator.Views.Streams.StreamView extends Backbone.View
template:JST["backbone/templates/stream"]
el: $('.item')
events:
"click div" : "testing"
initialize: (model)->
console.log @el
_.bindAll this , 'render'
@model.bind 'change', @render
@model.view = @
@render()
@delegateEvents()
render: ->
$(@el).html "test"
console.log @el
@
testing: ->
alert "EVENT"
#@model.clear()
Function that calls view (extracted from another view)
view = new Aggregator.Views.Streams.StreamView({model: stream})
console.log view.el
$(@el).append view.render().el
I'm a bit confused, I have set el but it either doesn't create or it doesn't bind events. I've tried waiting for the DOM to load and passing el to the constructor but no success. Any help on my most likely obvious mistake would be appreciated.
A:
Sorry i'm not comfortable with coffeescript, though i think i recognised your event hash
events: {
"click div" : "testing"
}
and i bet you are trying to bind this testing function to the click on your general view element?
there is the problem.
what your click event actually does (selector-wise) is:
$('div', viewElement).click(fn);
meaning, you don't target the viewElement div but div's INSIDE your view element.
if you want to bind to the general view element itself,
define an event without a selector
in your case:
events: {
"click" : "testing"
}

Q:
Getting the description of the parent statement in Mocha
Simple enough question, is there a way to get the description of the parent (it) statement in Mocha on Node.js?
So for example:
describe("Describe test", function(){
it("Describe this specific test", function(){
console.log(message); // Where message is "Describe this specific test"
});
});
I mainly need this for writing log files automatically and accurately. Thanks for any help.
A:
You could use the following
describe("Describe test", function(){
it("Describe this specific test", function(){
console.log('Title:', this._runnable.title);
});
});

Arsenal fans were left furious when a penalty allowed Tottenham to equalise in their north London derby clash at Wembley.
Harry Kane appeared to be in an offside position when Christian Eriksen's free-kick was floated into the box before he was fouled by Shkodran Mustafi.
The linesman kept his flag down and referee Anthony Taylor pointed to the spot before Kane made no mistake to level the scores.
"We've had a few this year not go our way, but luckily we had one go our way," Kane said after the game.
Gunners fans and players felt hard done by given Kane's offside position when the cross came in and Martin Keown blasted the officials on BT Sport.
(Image: Getty Images)
"How many of those Spurs players are offside? How obvious is that?" Martin Keown said after the game.
"Yes it's a foul, but the linesman's flag should have already gone up for offside."
But the laws show Taylor was right to give the penalty - and this is why.
FA rules state that if "a player in an offside position is moving towards the ball with the intention of playing the ball and is fouled before playing or attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for the ball, the foul is penalised as it has occurred before the offside offence."
As a result, Mustafi's foul on Kane took place before he was deemed to have committed an offence by being in an offside position, therefore the penalty was the right call.
(Image: Getty Images)
There was more controversy late in the game as Davinson Sanchez was deemed to have shoved Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the box late on.
The Arsenal man saw his last-minute spot kick saved by Hugo Lloris as they missed the chance to snatch a late victory from Spurs.
The result keeps Spurs four points ahead of their local rivals in third place in the table, with Manchester United having a chance to leapfrog the Gunners for fourth spot if they win their 3pm kick-off against Southampton at home. |

Comparison of effective toxicant biotransformation by autochthonous microorganisms and commercially available cultures in the in situ reclamation of abandoned industrial sites.
Biotransformation and biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by the subsurface autochthonous microflora collected from an abandoned petroleum refinery site was investigated. In addition, the inoculation of a commercially available blend of bacterial cultures, with known ability to degrade polycyclic aromatics, was evaluated. This supplemental addition of select microorganisms has been referred to by commercial interests as "bioaugmentation". Their biodegradative potential was evaluated using laboratory mesocosms (simulations) containing a predetermined optimal waste loading rate based on % oil and grease, mixed with predetermined optimal loading rates of clay and river silt materials. The waste consisted primarily of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons found in buried sludges and abandoned lagoons. All mesocosms received nutrient amendment without additional energy sources. Experimental mesocosms were inoculated with adapted indigenous microflora and/or commercial strains. Microbial ATP, microbial diversity, and related enzyme assays were used to establish the detoxification efficiency of the experimental microflora. Quantitative toxicant concentrations and transformations were documented by GC/MS data. Information will be presented mainly on the kinetics of toxicant biotransformation processes to identify "bioaugmentation" contribution and relevancy in the recovery of abandoned polluted sites. |
Sindh Sagar Doab
The Sindh Sagar Doab () is the tract of land in Pakistan lying between the Indus River and the Jhelum River It is one of the five major doabs of the Punjab and forms the north western portion of the Punjab plain.
Major areas in this doab include the Kala Chitta Range, Margalla and Murti Hills, Potohar Plateau, Salt Range and the Thal Desert. Some of the major cities of this doab are , Rawalpindi, Taxila, Attock, Chakwal, Jhelum, Pind Dadan Khan, Talagang, Mianwali, Bhakkar, Leiah (Layya), Muzaffargarh, Khushab and Quaidabad.
The word doab is of Persian origin, signifying the region between two rivers. According to Shaikh Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak, the grand vizier of the Mughal emperor Akbar, and author of the Akbarnama, the names of the doabs were decided by Akbar.
Of the Punjab doabs, the Sindh Sagar Doab is the largest in land area, but the poorest for agriculture, due to the presence of the Salt Range and the Thal desert. The Potohar plateau is the location of Pakistan's major oil fields, at Khaur, Dhuliān and Tut. A pipeline connects the oil fields to the refinery at Rāwalpindi.

Q:
Pushing repo to remote repository (GitHub)
I'm new to Git/GitHub. Trying to push my files to a new repo I have set up and it's not working. Here's my process:
Set up repo on GitHub.
Initialise remote on repo. git remote add origiN <URL>
Check it's ok. git remote -v
This seems to all go to plan, as Terminal returns
origiN <URL> (fetch)
origiN <URL> (push)
...as expected.
Then, when I run git push, I get:
fatal: No configured push destination.
Either specify the URL from the command-line or configure a remote repository using
git remote add <name> <url>
and then push using the remote name
git push <name>
...but I thought I had already configured the remote repository?
What am I missing?
A:
psydroyd answered whilst I was typing, but here is slightly more detail:
A repository can have multiple remotes. You can push to a remote explicitly by running:
git push <remote> <branch>
But if you want git push to work without any additional parameters, you can use the --set-upstream option, aka -u, as in:
git push -u origin master
This sets up your local branch to track the remote master branch. After this point, you can run:
git push

Q:
Change contents of "assign to"
I activated restrict_owner to change the textfield to a dropdown when creating a new ticket. Is there a way to change the contents of that dropdown from user id's to user names?
The reason is, that all user id's that we use to log in are somewhat cryptic (something like xyz01, xyz02 and so on). If that list could show the associated user names, that you can enter in the prefs, that would be perfect.
Regards,
Sascha
A:
To get around that, I installed the Auto-Complete Users Plugin. This will allow you to more easily select a user by account name, real name, or email address, plus it seems to have better performance than using restrict_owner.
I'm not sure if the plugin covers all of the same form fields as the restrict_owner option. If there's one that it misses, it shouldn't be too difficult to modify the code and add another field.

Q:
Playframework(Scala): passing user model around
I wonder what's the best practise for passing user 'model' around. I take http request and convert it to user model in my controller. I don't want to explicitly add an argument to all the templates for this model, and neither to main.
What are the best practises for doing this?
THanks.
A:
If you are logging in, and the user is your authenticated user, then you should put the user in a WrappedRequest and make your request implicit in your templates. If you use something like SecureSocial, then UserAwareAction will provide you with a RequestWithUser (see http://securesocial.ws/guide/user-service.html) and you can do things like
@()(implicit req:RequestWithUser)
Email = @{req.user.map(_.email)}
in your template.

Electronic equipment may be enclosed within a generally box-shaped chassis, housing, or similar enclosure. Such an enclosure may be configured to retain one or more removable modules, such as, for example, a fan module for ventilating the interior of the enclosure. A module may include electromagnetic shielding, such as an electromagnetic interference (EMI) skirt. The exterior of the enclosure may have one or more openings that define bays configured to receive modules. A user may insert a module into one of the openings and slide the module into the bay. The module may include a latch. The engagement of the latch retains the module in the bay, i.e., it resists removal of the module from the enclosure. The latch commonly includes a resilient member that flexes, compresses, or otherwise provides a spring force that engages or disengages a latching mechanism. The latch includes a user-operable portion that the user may operate to disengage the latch. Disengagement of the latch enables a user to remove the module from the enclosure by pulling the module in the opposite direction from which the module was inserted.
Spring latches of removable modules commonly comprise multiple moving parts. Such mechanical complexity contributes to manufacturing cost. It would be desirable to provide a removable module having a more economical spring latch. |
An approach to finding teaching moments on families and child development in Disney films.
In the interest of finding "teaching moments in film" for psychiatric education and education on child development, the author describes an approach to analyzing Disney--and potentially other children's films--based on specifically observing family structure at the beginning and ending of the story, developmental stage and gender of the protagonist, the developmental crisis, and the external change agent and/or stressor. The author considered a convenience sample of ten popular Disney films. A wide variety of family structures and developmental stages and challenges were observed in the reviewed films. A matrix approach such as the one illustrated may help psychiatric educators to select effective teaching moments from Disney and other children's films. |

Pharmaco-EEG experiments in animals.
The principles of pharmaco-EEG experiments are reviewed from the standpoint of a pharmacologist. Pharmaco-EEG experiments may serve one of three purposes: they may be used as a model, as an index or as a tool in a pharmacological study. Several examples are given for each of these three different lines of research. |

Justin Bieber is having some trouble with his monkey. And no, that’s not some strange euphemism; we mean an actual, literal monkey.
The animal was detained at the airport in Munich on Thursday, after German officials determined that Justin didn’t have the proper documentation to carry the exotic animal over the border. He was just plane unprepared. Pun semi-intended.
According to TMZ, the Biebz received the little bundle of… fur earlier this month as a gift from his record producer, Mally Mall. Mall even tweeted a picture of Bieber with his new pet, adding the caption: "OG MALLY FIRST PIC WITH HIS POPS @JUSTINBIEBER."
It’s an odd choice of present, since, if the recent reports are anything to go by, Justin isn’t looking all too responsible lately. Alcohol bingers, outbursts outside of clubs, picking fights with the neighbours – will he really have time to take care of a pet in between his many obligations? And let’s not even get into the Biebs’ track record with pets – last year, he gave away his pet hamster to a devoted fan and the animal reportedly passed away earlier this month. We sure hope the little capuchin monkey fares better, but it and its owner aren’t exactly off to a flying start. Get it? Ok, we’ll stop now. |
Detection of cellular rhythms and global stability within interlocked feedback systems.
In this paper, we show how to detect cellular rhythm and its global stability by extending the techniques from the recently developed theory of monotone systems. We establish theoretical results for globally asymptotic stability with consideration of delay by a discrete map. The relationship between positive, negative elements and delay in a general class of interlocked feedback networks can be understood in a system level. Moreover, the correspondence of attractors between a network and its reduced map is obtained and can be used to detect cellular rhythm, and further control the dynamics of the network. We show that global cellular rhythms can always be obtained, thereby enhancing robustness against perturbations of initial conditions and avoiding chaotic oscillations or complete abolishment of oscillations. In this paper, we focus on analyzing the circadian oscillator in Drosophila as an example to detect the occurrence of cellular rhythm and its global stability. |

Q:
Does Rust have an equivalent of C's typedef?
C offers the keyword typedef which lets you alias another type:
typedef unsigned int uint;
This basically makes uint an alias for unsigned int. This also works with more complex types and structures too. Does Rust have a similar language feature? If yes, how are typedefs handled in Rust?
A:
Yes. You can simply write
type MyInt = i32;
These are aliases at the name level, i.e. it is absolutely immaterial which name for the same type you then use. They are perfectly interchangeable.

A conventional solar cell structure with a p-type base has a negative electrode that may be on the front-side or sun side of the cell and a positive electrode that may be on the opposite side. Radiation of an appropriate wavelength falling on a p-n junction of a semiconductor body serves as a source of external energy to generate hole-electron pairs in that body. Because of the potential difference which exists at a p-n junction, holes and electrons move across the junction in opposite directions and thereby give rise to flow of an electric current that is capable of delivering power to an external circuit. Most solar cells are in the form of a silicon wafer that has been metalized, i.e., provided with metal contacts that are electrically conductive.
There is a need for compositions, structures (for example, semiconductor, solar cell or photodiode structures), and semiconductor devices (for example, semiconductor, solar cell or photodiode devices) which have improved electrical performance, and methods of making. |

Earphones are contained within devices such as headsets, headphones, handsets, earbuds and inset earphones and have the potential to produce sound levels that can harm or cause discomfort to the listener of these devices. Harm such as the loss of hearing sensitivity can occur as a result of either excessive short-term exposure or long-term exposure to sound. Other hearing dysfunctions that may result from excessive exposure to sound include tinnitus, reduced speech understanding, hyperacusis and ear pain, the later two in particular have been observed to result from short-term exposure. Short-term exposure which is perceived by the listener to be loud and abrupt may result in symptoms affecting other parts of the body such as pain/ache within the head and/or neck. Injury resulting from short-term exposure to sound, which is perceived as being both loud and abrupt, has been described as an acoustic shock injury.
To reduce the occurrence and severity of injury to the listener methods of limiting the short-term and long-term sound exposure have been developed. These include the suppression of sounds known to cause injury, known as shriek rejection as well as broadband and frequency specific level control with a variety of response times. Methods of monitoring and recording the short-term and long-term exposure of a listener have also been developed. Devices have been developed to control the long-term sound exposure of a listener based on an estimate of the long-term exposure. One device predicts the future long-term sound exposure from past estimates of sound exposure combined with data on the anticipated use which it uses to control the current amplification of the signal.
Many of the injuries to users of earphones have resulted from short-term exposure and therefore long-term level control and recording offers nothing in the prevention of this injury or furthers the understanding of it. |

[High-dose chemotherapy as a strategy to overcome drug resistance in solid tumors].
The concept of high-doses chemotherapy was developed in the 1980s based on in vitro scientific observations. Exposure of tumor cells to increasing concentrations of alkylating agents resulted in increased cell death in a strong dose-response manner. Moreover, the acquired resistance of tumor cells could be overcome by dose intensification. In clinic, dose intensification of alkylating agents resulted in increased therapeutic responses, however associated with significant hematological toxicity. Following the development of autologous stem cells transplantation harvesting from peripheral blood, the high-doses of chemotherapy, initially associated with marked toxic effects, could be more easily tolerated. As a result, the approach was evaluated in different types of solid tumors, including breast, ovarian and germ cell tumors, small cell lung carcinoma, soft tissue sarcomas and Ewing sarcoma. To date, high-doses chemotherapy with hematopoietic stem cells support is only used as a salvage therapy to treat poor prognosis germ cell tumors patients with chemo-sensitive disease. Regarding breast and ovarian cancer, high-doses chemotherapy should be considered only in the context of clinical trials. However, intensive therapy as an approach to overcome resistance to standard treatments is still relevant. Numerous efforts are still ongoing to identify novel therapeutic combinations and active treatments to improve patients' responses. |

While opening Wednesday’s City Council Meeting, Mayor Goodman said that “this shutdown has become one of total insanity.” Adding, “For there is no backup of data as to why we are shutdown from the start. No plan in place how to move through the shutdown or how to even come out of it.”
Mayor Goodman said that according to experts who she has spoken to, the coronavirus is “not going away.”
“It’s not going to be going away this month, next month, and much like the flu and other viruses that have impacted populations around the world, this virus, or a derivative there of, will be part of what we work through going forward,” Mayor Goodman said. |

Tory points to his record as a volunteer, efforts 'to champion this city'
Mayoral candidate Olivia Chow says John Tory has failed to have the city's back on various occasions, suggesting he has tried to "hurt" Toronto with prior pledges and statements.
Mayoral candidate Olivia Chow has sharpened her attacks on rival John Tory in recent days. (CBC)
"The choice is clear in this election: You will either elect a mayor that would stand up for the city or a mayor that would say anything to get elected, or when given a chance choose to hurt the city instead," Chow said while speaking with reporters on Sunday.
Chow said that when Tory served as leader of Ontario's Progressive Conservatives he vowed to move jobs outside Toronto and suggested a provincial budget was too "Toronto-centric."
Chow said Tory "said nothing" during the recent provincial election last spring, while she spoke out in favour of seeing the provincial government help the TTC with its operating budget.
"When he had a chance, [he] decided to remain silent," she said.
John Tory campaigns at Toronto's Word on the Street festival on Sunday. (CBC)
Tory was out campaigning Sunday at Toronto's Word on the Street festival. Asked for his reaction to Chow's attacks, Tory pointed to his record as a volunteer.
"People who know me — people who know of my track record, especially as a volunteer — know that I have been a champion for Toronto in every respect for many years as a volunteer," he said.
"And I think that what people might want to look at, you know, more closely is what you do when you're a volunteer, an individual citizen. And I've given hours and weeks and months of my time to champion this city and all the people who live in it and I will continue to do that as the mayor. And so I think that's how you measure what people are all about."
Chow and Tory are two of the most high-profile candidates running for mayor of Toronto. They have faced off in debates on several occasions recently, though neither has yet had a chance to debate Doug Ford — though all three are expected to participate in a debate together on Tuesday. |
Autoimmune hepatitis. Definition--classification--histopathology--immunopathogenesis.
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a distinct form of acute and chronic inflammatory liver disease in which immune reactions against host antigens are found to be the major pathological mechanism. If left untreated it carries an unfavourable prognosis, and the diagnosis should be made as soon as possible. The diagnostic approach has been greatly facilitated by the establishment of a panel of marker autoantibodies, which do not define distinct therapeutic groups of AIH, but do allow a subgrouping based on differences in patient populations, some clinical features and prognosis. The characterization of organ-specific components of the liver cell surface as targets of cellular and humoral autoimmune reactions give new insights into the pathogenesis of the disease, even though the primary event triggering the disease remains to be defined. The most important disease-promoting factor seems to be a genetically determined background for autoimmunity. Without this different environmental factors, including viruses, toxins, cytokines and drugs, are only able to induce transient autoimmune phenomena and not autoimmune disease. The histopathology of AIH is in keeping with the present pathogenetic concept. Although there is no pathognomonic feature distinguishing this type of hepatitis from virus-induced forms, some distinct morphological lesions are regarded as characteristic. Clinical research on AIH has benefited greatly from observations of experimental AIH in mice. Recognition of the critical role of autoreactive T-lymphocytes in the pathogenesis and the observation of spontaneous recovery from AIH in the animal model associated with antigen-specific and antigen-non-specific T-cell suppression have made basic contributions to our improved understanding of the natural course of AIH in humans. |
Q:
Emulating hardware via ethernet?
I have an intersting idea I would like to see: is there any way to connect your LAN computers and use each other's devices as being on the current device?
Eg.: I have a souncard connected to the other computer and would like to use it through my laptop connected via WLAN. The same could be applicable to monitors, keyboard, mouse, usb devices (sticks), etc.
A:
You can't always do this at the driver level because of bandwidth and latency constraints, although you can in some cases.
With that said, much of this functionality can be replicated by various software. For example, on Linux, PulseAudio can play sound transparently from a network source. Keyboard and mouse can be shared over a LAN with Synergy. USB devices can be shared with something like this (USB/IP Project).
Devices like monitors that would require more bandwidth than most LAN connections can supply would not be well-suited to use with this kind of software, however.

Story highlights Jeb Bush will meet with Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz on Wednesday and John Kasich on Thursday
The former Florida governor is weighing whether to endorse a candidate before Tuesday's Florida primary
Palm City, Florida (CNN) Jeb Bush will meet this week with the Republican presidential hopefuls who are vying to be the alternative to GOP front-runner Donald Trump, the former Florida governor's spokeswoman said.
Bush will meet with Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Wednesday in Miami, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich on Thursday, before the candidates meet for CNN's presidential debate. The meetings come as Bush still mulls whether he will endorse any candidate before Florida's all important primary Tuesday.
The meetings were requested by the other candidates, according to Kristy Campbell, the Bush spokeswoman.
The meetings were first reported by the New York Times
A spokeswoman for Cruz declined to comment, and a spokesman for Rubio did not immediately return a request for comment. A spokeperson for Kasich's campaign confirmed the meeting but would not disclose any additional details.

Hey, you had a date
the other night, right?
Yeah!
How did that go?
Meh.
Oh. That sucks.
Yeah.
I’d almost rather have
a bad date than a meh date.
At least bad dates
aren’t boring.
Yeah. Oh, speaking
of not boring...
I think I found her.
Who?
The one!
- Wait, really?
- Yeah.
It was love at
first sight, I guess.
Oh my God!
Tell me everything.
I wish I could, but I...
I can’t remember
most of it.
Wait.
How is that possible?
I think I blacked out
from the pain.
What pain?
The pain she was
inflicting on me!
It was something else,
let me tell you!
Oh my God, Arun, this is...
This is terrible.
No, listen...
No, you listen!
Dating violence
is never cool.
No matter
who does it or why.
There’s no excuse
for dating violence. Ever.
- Yeah, but...
- But nothing!
She could have...
She should have been arrested!
Where did this even happen?
In jiu-jitsu class.
You took your date
to a jiu-jitsu class?
No! I met her at the class.
She wasn’t my date.
She was my sparring partner.
Really good, too.
Oh.
Yeah.
Our first date is tonight.
Where are you guys going?
Emergency room.
I think I cracked a rib.
- Makes sense.
- Yeah.
Dating violence refers to
any abuse or violent behavior
that affects a partner’s
physical, psychological
and sexual well-being.
Physical violence involves
pushing, hitting,
slapping, grabbing,
or holding someone
against their will.
Psychological abuse can
take the form of insults,
threats, manipulation
or control.
Sexual violence consists
of forcing a person’s partner
to participate in sexual acts
they do not want.
Disagreements and conflicts occur
in all romantic relationships.
It’s normal for two people to have
different needs and expectations
and not to agree
on everything all the time.
In a healthy relationship,
both partners
want things to work out,
and are able to calm down,
listen to each other
and explain themselves.
Conversely, in unhealthy relationships,
one partner or both
seek, consciously or not,
to win at all costs,
to undermine
or to control the other.
The people subjected
to these behaviors
sometimes become isolated
from their loved ones,
either because of being
pressured by their partner,
or for fear of being judged.
It is important
for you to consider
whether your partner
is treating you with respect
or if you are a victim
of psychological abuse.
If physical or sexual abuse
has occurred,
the most urgent thing
is ensuring that you are safe.
It is essential
for you to consider
how you can safely
get out of the situation
and find support.
Regardless of
the type of abuse,
questioning a relationship
can be difficult.
It’s not always easy
to put things in perspective
when unacceptable behavior
is mixed with feelings of love
and hope of change.
Caring for yourself and ending
a relationship that hurts you
is courageous and necessary.
Talking with close friends,
parents, a school counsellor,
or calling a helpline
can help you feel understood.
Violence and love
don’t go together.
In a healthy relationship,
love makes you grow,
it shouldn’t make you
feel small or tie you down.
If my partner became
aggressive, I think...
I would start thinking
about cutting them out.
Abuse is...
often done
with really harsh words,
or even violence.
Violence in a relationship
isn’t purely physical.
It’s psychological,
emotional.
Most unhealthy couples
will spin it a different way.
The real difference is
when it’s a cycle.
Something that’s
repeating itself constantly.
Whereas a conflict is
something that’ll happen
normally once,
maybe twice,
but then resolves
itself after that.
I would define mental abuse
as someone who’s gaslighting,
who convinces someone that
they’re in the right, you’re wrong,
isolation from friends
and family members.
Just words or simple acts
that your partner might say
that hurt your feelings.
If you’re berating
and insulting them,
and making them
uncomfortable,
or making them not happy
to be in the situation they’re in.
Trying to tell them
that they only love them
if certain conditions
are met.
Attacking people,
undermining their weaknesses,
and taking advantage
of them.
Trying to convince them to do
things they don’t want to do,
but then guilting them into it.
Guilting is a big one.
I have been in
an aggressive relationship.
I don’t think I can know
how I would react
if somebody became
aggressive with me
until it kind of happens.
I think it takes
a very strong person
to admit when
that’s happening.
And a very strong
person to...
want to leave
that relationship.
I would like to hope
that I would just
get away from that situation,
but I know that aggressors
have a way of enticing you,
of making you feel safe.
“I’ll never do it again!”
They manipulate people.
One of my friends
was dating this guy
who was really
kind of sketchy,
he legitimately went to jail.
He ended up being
violent with her.
He was intoxicated
and he hurt her,
left bruises,
ripped her hair,
treated her like garbage.
At least she got out of it,
but you know...
It happens a lot more often
than we think, I guess.
It was really horrifying.
It’s difficult,
and I think to be
in an aggressive relationship
requires a lot of support.
And a lot of strength
to be able to leave.
If your downs are way more
common than your ups,
if you find you have
nothing positive
to say about
your partner, ever...
Odds are, it’s probably
not a healthy relationship.

[Immunosuppression by means of cytostatic chemotherapy. Inhibition of antibody formation and induction of tolerance in animal experiments].
Two different experimental models are presented for the induction of immunosuppression and immunological tolerance in mice with antineoplastic drugs: a) an unspecific T cell activation with a phytomitogen (phytohemagglutinin), or b) a partial synchronization of antigen-induced proliferation by mitotic blockade with vincristinsulfate prepare lymphoid tissue for an increased sensitivity to cyclophosphamide. With the first model a complete (antigen-nonspecific) inhibition of antibody production--mediated by an inactivation of T cells which act synergistically with antibody-forming cell precursors during the induction of the humoral immune response ("helper cells") -- has been demonstrated. The second model was shown to be suitable for the induction of immunotolerance, indicating a rather selective suppression of a clone of antigen-specific cells. |

Armadale, by Wilkie Collins
Chapter VI.
Pedgift’s Postscript.
“I mentioned that a point had occurred to me, sir,” remarked Pedgift Senior.
“You did,” said Allan.
“Would you like to hear what it is, Mr. Armadale?”
“If you please,” said Allan.
“With all my heart, sir! This is the point. I attach considerable importance — if nothing else can be done — to
having Miss Gwilt privately looked after, as long as she stops at Thorpe Ambrose. It struck me just now at the door,
Mr. Armadale, that what you are not willing to do for your own security, you might be willing to do for the security of
another person.”
“What other person?” inquired Allan.
“A young lady who is a near neighbor of yours, sir. Shall I mention the name in confidence? Miss Milroy.”
Allan started, and changed color.
“Miss Milroy!” he repeated. “Can she be concerned in this miserable business? I hope not, Mr. Pedgift; I
sincerely hope not.”
“I paid a visit, in your interests, sir, at the cottage this morning,” proceeded Pedgift Senior. “You shall hear
what happened there, and judge for yourself. Major Milroy has been expressing his opinion of you pretty freely; and I
thought it highly desirable to give him a caution. It’s always the way with those quiet addle-headed men: when they do
once wake up, there’s no reasoning with their obstinacy, and no quieting their violence. Well, sir, this morning I went
to the cottage. The major and Miss Neelie were both in the parlor — miss not looking so pretty as usual; pale, I
thought, pale, and worn, and anxious. Up jumps the addle-headed major (I wouldn’t give that, Mr. Armadale, for
the brains of a man who can occupy himself for half his lifetime n making a clock!)— up jumps the addle-headed major,
in the loftiest manner, and actually tries to look me down. Ha! ha! the idea of anybody looking me down, at my
time of life. I behaved like a Christian; I nodded kindly to old What’s-o’clock ‘Fine morning, major,’ says I. ‘Have
you any business with me?’ says he. ‘Just a word,’ says I. Miss Neelie, like the sensible girl she is, gets up to leave
the room; and what does her ridiculous father do? He stops her. ‘You needn’t go, my dear, I have nothing to say to Mr.
Pedgift,’ says this old military idiot, and turns my way, and tries to look me down again. ‘You are Mr. Armadale’s
lawyer,’ says he; ‘if you come on any business relating to Mr. Armadale, I refer you to my solicitor.’ (His solicitor
is Darch; and Darch has had enough of me in business, I can tell you!) ‘My errand here, major, does certainly
relate to Mr. Armadale,’ says I; ‘but it doesn’t concern your lawyer — at any rate, just yet. I wish to caution you to
suspend your opinion of my client, or, if you won’t do that, to be careful how you express it in public. I warn you
that our turn is to come, and that you are not at the end yet of this scandal about Miss Gwilt.’ It struck me as likely
that he would lose his temper when he found himself tackled in that way, and he amply fulfilled my expectations. He was
quite violent in his language — the poor weak creature — actually violent with me! I behaved like a Christian
again; I nodded kindly, and wished him good-morning. When I looked round to wish Miss Neelie good-morning, too, she was
gone. You seem restless, Mr. Armadale,” remarked Pedgift Senior, as Allan, feeling the sting of old recollections,
suddenly started out of his chair, and began pacing up and down the room. “I won’t try your patience much longer, sir;
I am coming to the point.”
“I beg your pardon, Mr. Pedgift,” said Allan, returning to his seat, and trying to look composedly at the lawyer
through the intervening image of Neelie which the lawyer had called up.
“Well, sir, I left the cottage,” resumed Pedgift Senior. “Just as I turned the corner from the garden into the park,
whom should I stumble on but Miss Neelie herself, evidently on the lookout for me. ‘I want to speak to you for one
moment, Mr. Pedgift!’ says she. ‘Does Mr. Armadale think me mixed up in this matter?’ She was violently
agitated — tears in her eyes, sir, of the sort which my legal experience has not accustomed me to see. I quite
forgot myself; I actually gave her my arm, and led her away gently among the trees. (A nice position to find me in, if
any of the scandal-mongers of the town had happened to be walking in that direction!) ‘My dear Miss Milroy,’ says I,
‘why should Mr. Armadale think you mixed up in it?’ ”
“You ought to have told her at once that I thought nothing of the kind!” exclaimed Allan, indignantly. “Why did you
leave her a moment in doubt about it?”
“Because I am a lawyer, Mr. Armadale,” rejoined Pedgift Senior, dryly. “Even in moments of sentiment, under
convenient trees, with a pretty girl on my arm, I can’t entirely divest myself of my professional caution. Don’t look
distressed, sir, pray! I set things right in due course of time. Before I left Miss Milroy, I told her, in the plainest
terms, no such idea had ever entered your head.”
“Did she seem relieved?” asked Allan.
“She was able to dispense with the use of my arm, sir,” replied old Pedgift, as dryly as ever, “and to pledge me to
inviolable secrecy on the subject of our interview. She was particularly desirous that you should hear nothing
about it. If you are at all anxious on your side to know why I am now betraying her confidence, I beg to inform you
that her confidence related to no less a person than the lady who favored you with a call just now — Miss Gwilt.”
Allan, who had been once more restlessly pacing the room, stopped, and returned to his chair.
“Is this serious?” he asked.
“Most serious, sir,” returned Pedgift Senior. “I am betraying Miss Neelie’s secret, in Miss Neelie’s own interest.
Let us go back to that cautious question I put to her. She found some little difficulty in answering it, for the reply
involved her in a narrative of the parting interview between her governess and herself. This is the substance of it.
The two were alone when Miss Gwilt took leave of her pupil; and the words she used (as reported to me by Miss Neelie)
were these. She said, ‘Your mother has declined to allow me to take leave of her. Do you decline too?’ Miss Neelie’s
answer was a remarkably sensible one for a girl of her age. ‘We have not been good friends,’ she said, ‘and I believe
we are equally glad to part with each other. But I have no wish to decline taking leave of you.’ Saying that, she held
out her hand. Miss Gwilt stood looking at her steadily, without taking it, and addressed her in these words: ‘You
are not Mrs. Armadale yet.’ Gently, sir! Keep your temper. It’s not at all wonderful that a woman, conscious of
having her own mercenary designs on you, should attribute similar designs to a young lady who happens to be your near
neighbor. Let me go on. Miss Neelie, by her own confession (and quite naturally, I think), was excessively indignant.
She owns to having answered, ‘You shameless creature, how dare you say that to me!’ Miss Gwilt’s rejoinder was rather a
remarkable one — the anger, on her side, appears to have been of the cool, still, venomous kind. ‘Nobody ever yet
injured me, Miss Milroy,’ she said, ‘without sooner or later bitterly repenting it. You will bitterly repent
it.’ She stood looking at her pupil for a moment in dead silence, and then left the room. Miss Neelie appears to have
felt the imputation fastened on her, in connection with you, far more sensitively than she felt the threat. She had
previously known, as everybody had known in the house, that some unacknowledged proceedings of yours in London had led
to Miss Gwilt’s voluntary withdrawal from her situation. And she now inferred, from the language addressed to her, that
she was actually believed by Miss Gwilt to have set those proceedings on foot, to advance herself, and to injure her
governess, in your estimation. Gently, sir, gently! I haven’t quite done yet. As soon as Miss Neelie had recovered
herself, she went upstairs to speak to Mrs. Milroy. Miss Gwilt’s abominable imputation had taken her by surprise; and
she went to her mother first for enlightenment and advice. She got neither the one nor the other. Mrs. Milroy declared
she was too ill to enter on the subject, and she has remained too ill to enter on it ever since. Miss Neelie applied
next to her father. The major stopped her the moment your name passed her lips: he declared he would never hear you
mentioned again by any member of his family. She has been left in the dark from that time to this, not knowing how she
might have been misrepresented by Miss Gwilt, or what falsehoods you might have been led to believe of her. At my age
and in my profession, I don’t profess to have any extraordinary softness of heart. But I do think, Mr. Armadale, that
Miss Neelie’s position deserves our sympathy.”
“I’ll do anything to help her!” cried Allan, impulsively. “You don’t know, Mr. Pedgift, what reason I have —” He
checked himself, and confusedly repeated his first words. “I’ll do anything,” he reiterated earnestly —“anything in the
world to help her!”
“Do you really mean that, Mr. Armadale? Excuse my asking; but you can very materially help Miss Neelie, if you
choose!”
“How?” asked Allan. “Only tell me how!”
“By giving me your authority, sir, to protect her from Miss Gwilt.”
Having fired that shot pointblank at his client, the wise lawyer waited a little to let it take its effect before he
said any more.
Allan’s face clouded, and he shifted uneasily from side to side of his chair.
“Your son is hard enough to deal with, Mr. Pedgift,” he said, “and you are harder than your son.”
“Thank you, sir,” rejoined the ready Pedgift, “in my son’s name and my own, for a handsome compliment to the firm.
If you really wish to be of assistance to Miss Neelie,” he went on, more seriously, “I have shown you the way. You can
do nothing to quiet her anxiety which I have not done already. As soon as I had assured her that no misconception of
her conduct existed in your mind, she went away satisfied. Her governess’s parting threat doesn’t seem to have dwelt on
her memory. I can tell you, Mr. Armadale, it dwells on mine! You know my opinion of Miss Gwilt; and you know what Miss
Gwilt herself has done this very evening to justify that opinion even in your eyes. May I ask, after all that has
passed, whether you think she is the sort of woman who can be trusted to confine herself to empty threats?”
The question was a formidable one to answer. Forced steadily back from the position which he had occupied at the
outset of the interview, by the irresistible pressure of plain facts, Allan began for the first time to show symptoms
of yielding on the subject of Miss Gwilt. “Is there no other way of protecting Miss Milroy but the way you have
mentioned?” he asked, uneasily.
“Do you think the major would listen to you, sir, if you spoke to him?” asked Pedgift Senior, sarcastically. “I’m
rather afraid he wouldn’t honor me with his attention. Or perhaps you would prefer alarming Miss Neelie by
telling her in plain words that we both think her in danger? Or, suppose you send me to Miss Gwilt, with instructions
to inform her that she has done her pupil a cruel injustice? Women are so proverbially ready to listen to reason; and
they are so universally disposed to alter their opinions of each other on application — especially when one woman
thinks that another woman has destroyed her prospect of making a good marriage. Don’t mind me, Mr. Armadale;
I’m only a lawyer, and I can sit waterproof under another shower of Miss Gwilt’s tears!”
“In plain words, Mr. Armadale, I want to keep Miss Gwilt’s proceedings privately under view, as long as she stops in
this neighborhood. I answer for finding a person who will look after her delicately and discreetly. And I agree to
discontinue even this harmless superintendence of her actions, if there isn’t good reasons shown for continuing it, to
your entire satisfaction, in a week’s time. I make that moderate proposal, sir, in what I sincerely believe to be Miss
Milroy’s interest, and I wait your answer, Yes or No.”
“Can’t I have time to consider?” asked Allan, driven to the last helpless expedient of taking refuge in delay.
“Certainly, Mr. Armadale. But don’t forget, while you are considering, that Miss Milroy is in the habit of walking
out alone in your park, innocent of all apprehension of danger, and that Miss Gwilt is perfectly free to take any
advantage of that circumstance that Miss Gwilt pleases.”
Popular prejudice may deny it, but the profession of the law is a practically Christian profession in one respect at
least. Of all the large collection of ready answers lying in wait for mankind on a lawyer’s lips, none is kept in
better working order than “the soft answer which turneth away wrath.” Pedgift Senior rose with the alacrity of youth in
his legs, and the wise moderation of age on his tongue. “Many thanks, sir,” he said, “for the attention you have
bestowed on me. I congratulate you on your decision, and I wish you good-evening.” This time his indicative snuff-box
was not in his hand when he opened the door, and he actually disappeared without coming back for a second
postscript.
Allan’s head sank on his breast when he was left alone. “If it was only the end of the week!” he thought, longingly.
“If I only had Midwinter back again!”
As that aspiration escaped the client’s lips, the lawyer got gayly into his gig. “Hie away, old girl!” cried Pedgift
Senior, patting the fast-trotting mare with the end of his whip. “I never keep a lady waiting — and I’ve got business
to-night with one of your own sex!” |
An Oxford college president has demanded that octopus is removed from the menu as part of a drive to make disadvantaged students feel more “comfortable”.
Baroness Jan Royall, head of Somerville, said she wants to “change the culture” of the college to make sure it is “welcoming for all”.
The Labour peer told how after receiving a complaint from a first-year student about an octopus terrine dish, she instructed Somerville’s catering staff to replace it with a less adventurous alternative.
The eight-legged dish, which featured as the starter at the Freshers’ welcome dinner last year, will not appear on the menu at next year’s event.
Baroness Royall, the former Labour leader in the House of Lords, revealed the move in a blog post, titled “I am determined to move fast on widening access to Somerville”, which was published on the College’s website.
In the blog, she outlines the steps the College has taken to boost the number of students it admits from disadvantaged backgrounds, which included running a “Demystifying Oxford Day” where state school students are given mock interviews. |

Q:
C# Save File at Location of Your App
I am trying to save to a file like this:
string path = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
fs = new System.IO.FileStream(path, System.IO.FileMode.Append, System.IO.FileAccess.Write);
but I am getting DirectoryNotFoundException although directory exists.
Here is the method
public static void WriteToFile(string s)
{
string path = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
fs = new System.IO.FileStream(path, System.IO.FileMode.Append, System.IO.FileAccess.Write);
sw = new System.IO.StreamWriter(fs);
sw.WriteLine(s);
sw.Flush();
sw.Close();
fs.Close();
}
I am not sure why is this happening. Thanks
A:
You need to specify a File Name, the Directory alone in not enough to create a file:
public static void WriteToFile(string s, string fileName)
{
string path = Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, fileName);
fs = new System.IO.FileStream(path, System.IO.FileMode.Append, System.IO.FileAccess.Write);
sw = new System.IO.StreamWriter(fs);
sw.WriteLine(s);
sw.Flush();
sw.Close();
fs.Close();
}
Usage:
WriteToFile("Some Text To Write", "SampleFileName.txt");
Here is the documentation of:
public FileStream(string path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access);
Parameters:
path: A relative or absolute path for the file that the current FileStream object will encapsulate.

In the past, machinery has been developed for the production of substantially continuous lengths of metal tubing of various wall thicknesses; and in order to facilitate the packaging, transportation and use of such tubing, auxiliary equipment has been designed to sever the substantially continuous tubing into standard lengths. However, certain cut-off mills generate a constriction or "dimple" adjacent the cut ends of the tubing. This defect is particularly pronounced in lighter gauge materials and, in many applications, has been found to be grossly unacceptable.
Dedimpler apparatus has, as a consequence, been developed heretofore for re-sizing the cut ends of the tubing; and in one form of such apparatus, a coacting pair of conical dedimpler plugs or tools is rotatably and convergibly driven to engage and penetrate the open ends of the tube length. This action of the dedimpler plugs forcibly restores the tube to a condition of being cylindrically true. Such dedimpling apparatus ordinarily includes, in addition, a tube-backing pressure roller that is aligned radially with each of the dedimpler tools in order to support the tube against the dedimpler tools and prevent flaring of the cut ends.
Conventional gravity feed arrangements for such dedimpler apparatus have proved to be a bottleneck in modern tube mills and have prevented such equipment from reaching optimum efficiency.
Therefore, an important object of the present invention is to provide a high-speed, precision tube-feeding mechanism for use with dedimpling apparatus.
A more general object of the invention is to provide new and improved dedimpling apparatus which is characterized by maximized output rates.
A further object of the invention is to provide dedimpler apparatus and the like with a workpiece feed mechanism of the walking-beam type.
These and other objects and features of the invention will become apparent from a consideration of the following disclosure. |
Chris Jolliffe, acting senior minister of the church, told Eternity that “we could have done a Christmas ad with bauble or a tame nativity scene. And no one would have looked at it.
“Opportunities to share the gospel at Christmas time come in invitational opportunities to come to church. But we know that less come to church than those asked.
“…our billboard focuses on the scandal.” – Chris Jolliffe
“So we wanted to make the invitation a talking point.”
They have succeeded. Many churchgoers have had the opportunity to explain the Christmas story off the back of the sign, and the accompanying postcards that have been distributed in the neighbourhood.
“The first Christmas was scandalous; it wasn’t polite,” says Jolliffe. “And so our billboard focuses on the scandal, and the whole issue Joseph had to deal with. We wanted to get people thinking about that.”
Why, then, is Joseph depicted with a huge grin on his face?
“Here’s Joseph, a godly man, engaged to be married, and he finds out his fiancée is pregnant. We know she’s pregnant from the Holy Spirit, but Joseph doesn’t! What else could he conclude? No one – up until then – had ever fallen pregnant except through the natural way. And Joseph knew it wasn’t him!”
So why, then, is Joseph depicted with a huge grin on his face? Well, says Jolliffe, “he had a smile because something changed him. An angel came to him in a dream and told him that the child was from the Holy Spirit and will save God’s people from their sins.”
“The kindest thing that could have happened in the circumstances was for Joseph to quietly arrange for their engagement to be legally annulled. In those days, in that culture, Joseph was in his rights to have her publicly stoned to death!
“…if we got people thinking about Jesus and the first [Christmas] story, then that’s good.” – Chris Jolliffe
“That he didn’t [divorce her] was because of God’s intervention.”
The reaction has been bigger than the church thought, with local media picking up the story, after one journalist drove past the sign and wondered what it was about. Some of the older members of the congregation were a bit shocked by the image but, Jolliffe says, “we didn’t deliberately set out to offend people. We thought it would be humorous but not offensive.”
“Even if people have spoken negatively, it creates a reaction. And if we got people thinking about Jesus and the first [Christmas] story, then that’s good.”
Pray
Some prayer points to help
Pray that lots of people would see the billboard, and many would think about the scandal of that first Christmas story, and that they would be prompted to find out more. |
Q:
Inheritance and nested views in AngularJS
I'm trying to set up some nested views in angularjs. I've been using the ui-router library to do this which works great for the most part. The problem is that there is a separate controller for each view with no real inheritance going on between them. If I want to modify something in a parent controller from a child controller I have to use $scope.$parent . This is a bit of a pain and it can become worse if there are multiple levels of inheritance and you have to remember which level the variable you are accessing is on. Also if you forget to use $parent in your child controller and you try to modify one of the parent's variables, Angular will create a new instance of the variable which could lead to some hard to track down bugs.
Ideally I would just be able to use prototype inheritance. This would also map nicely into classes in Typescript or Coffeescript. One way I thought of to do this would be to get rid of all the parent controllers and just have the child controllers which would inherit any common functionality from prototypes (super classes). Then you would just have to throw the controller up on the $rootScope so that the parent views could access it.
Can anyone think of any issues with this solution or better solutions? Would I be better off just using $parent and letting Angular handel the "inheritance".
Thanks
A:
As John pointed out the $scope objects inherit from each other but the actual controllers do not. So I decided to set it up so that the controllers do inherit from each other. To do this I have one root controller that just looks like this:
function rootCtrl($scope) {
$scope.ctrl={};
$scope.ctrl.scope = $scope;
}
Then in my most deeply nested child controllers I have something like this
function myCtrl($scope, $dependency1, $dependency2) {
myCtrlImpl.apply($scope.ctrl, [$http, $dependency1, $dependency2]);
}
function myCtrlImpl($dependency1, $dependency2) {
this.someVariableThatIsAccessableEverywhere = ":)";
//If I want to access scope from here I can just do something like
//this.scope.$watch...
}
Now if I want to move any functionality from myCtrlImpl into a base prototype, I can just use standard prototype inheritance.

Q:
What does the whole letter in Black Panther by Prince NJobu say?
In the scene where Killmonger goes to the Ancestral Plane and is back at his apartment when he was a kid, he finds a letter written by his dad, Prince N'Jobu.
I paused my DVD to try to read the letter but because of the angle and focus of the camera for the movie, I can only read parts of it and not the whole thing. It seems like the parts I can read basically says his thoughts to helping oppressed people of African descent.
Does anyone have a link to a script or something that lists the whole letter? I'm just curious to read the letter as a whole.
A:
From cinemablend:
YouTube user Aznmarty256 (via Reddit) took the time to pause when Killmonger is sifting through N'Jobu's journal and transcribe exactly what he wrote to his son. Take a look:
Ungubani? Who are you? I asked this question of myself many times. Often times, I do not know. But I do know I am no longer the man my country knew.
Maybe love? My son?
It has all changed me. T'Chaka must see what we can do, how we can change the course of time for the people who struggle so much in this land. Strangers to me, but my brothers and sisters still. How can I look at them, with the same skin as me, stolen from the same place I came from and not reach out to them? How can I sit idly by and watch in pain and return to Wakanda as if there was nothing to see at all?
Who am I? A war dog who will not leave the lost tribe behind again. Who are you, my son? You will ask this one day and know the answer:
N'Jadaka, son of N'Jobu.
I also tried to take the screenshot of it:

Canadian columnist @RobynUrback reports on the latest development from the country that gave us “Slut Walk”:
On Wednesday evening at McGill University in Montreal, a group of students and community activists assembled to discuss when “yes” doesn’t actually mean yes. The Forum on Consent, which was also open to the public, featured several panel participants who spoke to the question of what we understand as “consent.” The theme was similar to a campaign launched by a Nova Scotia coalition earlier this month — the More Than Yes campaign — which contended that “sexual consent is more than just a yes.” According to that campaign, and echoed by the forum participants at McGill on Wednesday, real consent “must be loud and clear. Sex without enthusiastic consent is not sex at all. It’s sexual assault or rape.” . . .
Rape culture was one of the concepts discussed by the Forum on Consent panel, which contended that deniers of the phenomenon simply aren’t looking beyond the obvious. It’s a fair point. But it’s also impossible to claim that there is some sort of systemic, expanding mechanism of sexual assault denial, especially when we have no real means to measure its occurrence. . . .
And so, the suggestion that “yes” might actually mean “no” — or at the very least, isn’t a complete yes — further complicates any attempt to really evaluate what’s going on.
What’s going on, ma’am, is that the perpetually aggrieved need something to be angry about, and if they can stop those pesky “facts” from cluttering up the arguments, it’s easier to pretend women are under siege by agents of the oppressive patriarchy.
If there aren’t enough actual rapes to justify all this feminist yammering about “rape culture,” the activists will simply re-define rape until they get enough rape to suit them. This blog post, for example, may be considered a form of rape, because every feminist reading it knows that I’m thinking about her vagina — without her consent!

Antibodies reactive with surface membranes of cellular elements in the blood.
Autoreactive antibodies or immune complexes may accelerate clearance of mature erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets from the circulation in patients with rheumatologic and immunologic disorders. The most compelling evidence for immune injury to hematopoietic cells exists in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and patients with Felty's syndrome and its variants. These disorders may also cause tissue inflammation, which in turn commonly results in underproduction of erythrocytes and development of thrombocytosis. However, recent evidence indicates that underproduction of hematopoietic cells may also result from immune injury to cellular elements in the bone marrow. In many laboratories, sensitive techniques are now clinically available for the detection of cell-associated immunoglobulin and complement. These assays have helped confirm the role of antibody in the pathogenesis of autoimmune hemolytic anemia and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. However, recent data indicate that there is probably a continuum between the amount of immunoglobulin and complement found on normal cells and that found in a variety of disease states. In several of these disorders, additional evidence will be required to establish that the increase in cell-bound immunoglobulin leads to a decrease in the life-span of the cell. In order to provide significant help to the clinician managing an individual patient, these serologic tests must be capable of identifying the portion of the cell-associated protein actually involved in the destructive process. The availability of monoclonal reagents capable of identifying restricted regions on cell-bound immunoglobulin may help identify molecules bound specifically as antibody and may help identify the antigens involved in autoimmune disorders. |
The bovine tubouterine junction: general innervation pattern and distribution of adrenergic, cholinergic, and peptidergic nerve fibers.
The innervation of the bovine tubouterine junction was studied in sexually mature heifers using antisera against various neuronal markers and a modified acetylcholinesterase method. The vast majority of the nerve fibres in the bovine tubouterine junction belongs to the sympathetic nervous system; peptidergic and cholinergic fibers are restricted to characteristic locations. The endosalpinx in the adovarian portion of the terminal tubal segment is poorly innervated. The mucosa of the aduterine portion and of the tubouterine transitional region proper receives a strikingly dense innervation, which is observed mainly in combination with a strong vascularisation of specialised mucosal structures. In the endometrium, perivascular nerves accompany the ascending spiral arteries but sporadic contacts between nerve fibres and uterine glands are also observed. From the muscular coat the inner longitudinal layer of the terminal tubal segment is more richly supplied by nerve fibres than the intermediate circular and outer longitudinal layers of the tubouterine junction. No changes in the innervation pattern were seen during the different stages of the sexual cycle. |
This week, as fun as it was, raised more questions than it answered. At some point, equities are going to have to come to grips with rising inflation pressures and what that might mean for central bank forward guidance. Meanwhile, it is close to a foregone conclusion that the fiscal stimulus being piled atop the overheating U.S. economy is going to pull forward the end of cycle.
My guess would be that the disparity between how the market reacted to evidence of inflation this week and how the market reacted to evidence of inflation earlier this month will be reconciled sooner rather than later. Make sure you have a view on that. I’m not going to tell you what your view should be, but you need to have one. Either stocks were right in their interpretation this week or they were right earlier this month, but it can’t possibly be both.

ShorthandCase StudiesInternational Justice Mission
How International Justice Mission is using Shorthand to offer deeper connections with real stories
As a global organization protecting the poor from slavery and violence in the developing world, International Justice Mission has many powerful stories to tell.
"One of the most powerful means for ending slavery is found in the act of simply telling the authentic stories of those who suffer under injustice," said Vera Leung, IJM's director of creative services, "and the stories of rescue and justice through the work of common human beings."
But in a busy non-profit environment, there isn't always time or resources to share stories in an engaging and visually appealing way.
"Our stories were often stuck in templated pages that felt boring and did not do our beautiful photography justice," Vera explained.
"The immersive experience that Shorthand allowed us to create connected people to the change in Cambodia and kept them engaged with the story."
Vera Leung
But since using Shorthand, Vera has found it is possible to create visually engaging stories within IJM's time constraints.
In their first Shorthand story Transformation: Cambodia, IJM wanted to share the story of a dramatic reduction in child sex trafficking, told from the viewpoint of brave women and men leading the fight.
They used compelling, autoplay video to grab the reader's attention in the title section, followed by a series of striking, full-screen images.
"We wanted the best format to show this portraiture so that you could connect with the people on the ground, see their conviction and see their hope shine through," said Vera.
"The immersive experience that Shorthand allowed us to create connected people to the change in Cambodia and kept them engaged with the story."
A selection of sections from International Justice Mission's stories
Transformation: Cambodia is now one of the most shared pages on IJM.org, something Vera attributes, at least in part, to creating the story with Shorthand.
"We believe the compelling, beautiful, engaging way in which you discover this story contributes to actually wanting to share it with your own networks," she said. |
The effect of intravitreal bevacizumab in the treatment of Coats disease in children.
The purpose of this study was to determine if intravitreal bevacizumab can reduce subretinal exudates and exudative retinal detachment and facilitate the treatment of Coats disease in children. Prospective, interventional, and noncomparative case series of three eyes in three children with Coats disease were studied. All eyes received only intravitreal bevacizumab injection as the primary treatment. Ablative procedures, including cryotherapy, traditional continuous wave laser, or subthreshold diode micropulse laser, for diseased vessels were performed after subretinal fluid totally reabsorbed. One supplementary intravitreal bevacizumab injection was given after ablative procedures on the same day. The changes in pre- and postoperative best-corrected visual acuity were recorded. Serial color fundus photography, optical coherence tomography, and B-scan sonography were performed to measure treatment efficacy. After receiving one to three injections, all three patients had subretinal fluid completely reabsorbed. All patients had one session of subsequent ablative procedures for diseased vessels and supplementary intravitreal bevacizumab injection. No patients had recurrent subretinal fluid. Improved visual acuity was noted in two cases but was not detectable in the other. No ocular or systemic complications related to bevacizumab were noted during the entire course of follow-up. Intravitreal bevacizumab appears to be a well-tolerated treatment for children with Coats disease. A favorable response is observed when compared with other treatment modalities. It has the potential as an adjuvant therapy of vascular ablative procedures to improve final vision and facilitate ongoing treatment. |
