Dissipation-induced symmetry breaking in a driven optical lattice. We analyze the atomic dynamics in an ac driven periodic optical potential which is symmetric in both time and space. We experimentally demonstrate that in the presence of dissipation the symmetry is broken, and a current of atoms through the optical lattice is generated as a result.
Q: Plausible issues of not having a center stand and solutions for those? Important: This question is specific to countries like India, when there might be issues to maintain the bikes without center stand, because of lower facilities available at most of the garages I am going to buy a bike: hero splendor pro classic, I like the bike, its not too costly, and everything is just fine for a low budget bike. But there is just one thing which is killing me, The bike doesn't have a center stand. I guess it would be really problematic when there is a puncture in the tire. Would it be alright for the mechanic to remove the puncture without the center stand? So what could be Plausible issues of not having a center stand and solutions for those? (I just don't want to push my bike to many mechanics and get the same answer: you don't have a center stand , get out of here) A: Mechanics are very resourceful, and I doubt you'd have any issue working with them in India, even in ill equipped small shops. The company itself would have taken cognizance of this fact. Also, maybe this was a design decision since this is styled like a "cafe racer". You might have to shell out a little extra for the little inconvenience you cause. Get a repair stand if you undertake any amount of maintenance work yourself. This hardly sounds like a deal breaker. Where I see this becoming an issue is if you find yourself stranded with a flat (long solo rides?). In this case where the best option is to remove the wheel yourself and transport it to a shop, you'l have to deal with the annoyance you're foreseeing. Also, since we're talking about India, where parking spaces are optimized like latest compression algorithms in data storage, you might miss the ability to squeeze your bike into tight parking opportunities. Kidding there. edit Installing a center stand should be a fairly easy job! I'm fairly certain that you could buy an oem center stand for the HERO SPLENDOR and have it fixed to this model as the chassis is most likely to be the same. Even if not, it shouldn't be something your mechanic can't handle. Here - It's been done. A: Seems fairly easy, and cheap to add a center stand to the bike once you buy it. It may even be an accessory available at the dealer Found here
Q: Writing client-side API libraries for Nuxt.js This is more of an architecture/design question rather than "why doesn't this work". I'm writing a Nuxt.js SSR web app which is powered by an external API (ExpressJS). The API is responsible for authentication (via nuxt-auth - JWT) and retrieving user data etc. As I understand it, the SSR code sets a cookie on the client and uses it to retrieve the JWT in order to authenticate with the API server, on behalf of the browser. I've written some helper methods for each model in the database, like so (simplified): // services/UserService.js export default class UserService { constructor(ctx) { this.$axios = ctx.$axios } getUsers () { return this.$axios.get('/api/users') } createUser (params) { return this.$axios.post('/api/users', params) } updateUser (params) { return this.$axios.put('/api/users/' + params.id, params) } getUser (id) { return this.$axios.get('/api/users/' + id) } } This works nicely for SSR because I can do this in my Nuxt pages: <template>{{user.display_name}}</template> <script> import UserService from '@/services/UserService' export default { asyncData ({ params, $axios }) { const api = new ApiService({ $axios }) return api.Users.getUser(params).then(user => { return { user, api } // this makes them available in the vue instance }) } } </script> Now, once this has been rendered and sent to the browser, there might be a form below which is reactive. When that form is submitted by the user to update their profile, I suddenly don't have access to the UserService instance. This is because it's defined inside the asyncData call, which can only be used within the SSR context. I fixed this by returning api from the asyncData method as well as user, which Nuxt then puts onto the vue instance. However, this feels very wrong. Is this the correct way to do it? How are you supposed to do this? Or aren't you? This feels especially bad since Vue will watch everything in data, and I really do not need it to keep track of the api instance... I'm pretty new to Vue and Nuxt so if I've overlooked something please say, but my question is: How should I design this to work both in SSR context and browser? Thanks! A: I have spent some more time on this and have come up with a solution. I've created a plugin which handles the construction of the api object and then adds it to the Nuxt context, which is available to both the SSR code and browser: // plugins/api.js import ApiService from '@/services/ApiService' export default (ctx, inject) => { const api = new ApiService({ $axios: ctx.app.$axios }) ctx.$api = api inject('api', api) } // nuxt.config.js module.exports = { plugins: [ '~/plugins/global.js', '~/plugins/datetimepicker.js', '~/plugins/axios.js', '~/plugins/api.js' // our plugin ], modules: [ 'bootstrap-vue/nuxt', '@nuxtjs/axios', '@nuxtjs/auth', ] } Now my pages are much cleaner: <template></template> <script> export default { asyncData ({ params, $api }) { return $api.Users.getUser(params).then(user => { return { user } }) }), watch { someValue (newVal) { // run in the browser this.$api.Users.doSomethingWith(val) } } } </script> I'm not getting any code smells from this but if there's a Nuxt wizard reading this and spots something, please let me know!
Characterization of plant circadian rhythms by employing Arabidopsis cultured cells with bioluminescence reporters. Recent intensive studies have begun to shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying the plant circadian clock in Arabidopsis thaliana. During the course of these previous studies, the most powerful technique, elegantly adopted, was a real-time bioluminescence monitoring system of circadian rhythms in intact plants carrying a luciferase (LUC) fusion transgene. We previously demonstrated that Arabidopsis cultured cells also retain an ability to generate circadian rhythms, at least partly. To further improve the cultured cell system for studies on circadian rhythms, here we adopted a bioluminescence monitoring system by establishing the cell lines carrying appropriate reporter genes, namely, CCA1::LUC and APRR1::LUC, with which CCA1 (CIRCADIAN CLOCK-ASSOCIATED1) and APRR1 (or TOC1) (ARABIDOPSIS PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATORS1 or TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION1) are believed to be the components of the central oscillator. We report the results that consistently supported the view that the established cell lines, equipped with such bioluminescence reporters, might provide us with an advantageous means to characterize the plant circadian clock.
Barley tea Barley tea is a roasted-grain-based infusion made from barley which is a staple across East Asian regions like the Koreas, China, Japan, and Taiwan. It has a toasty flavor, with slight bitter undertones. In Korea, the tea is consumed either hot or cold, often taking the place of drinking water in many homes and restaurants. In Japan, it is usually served cold and is a popular summertime refreshment. The tea is also widely available in tea bags or bottled in Korea and Japan. Names In China, barley tea is called dàmài-chá (; ) or mài-chá (; ), in which dàmài (; ) or mài (; ) means "barley" and chá () means "tea". In Japan, barley tea is called mugi-cha (; ), which shares the same Chinese characters as Chinese mài-chá (; ), or mugi-yu (; ), in which yu (; ) also means "hot water". In the Koreas, barley tea is called bori-cha (), in which the native Korean bori () means "barley" and Sino-Korean cha (; ) shares the same Chinese character meaning "tea". In Taiwan, barley tea is called be̍h-á-tê (麥仔茶), in which be̍h-á (麥仔) means "barley" and tê (茶) means "tea". Preparation The tea can be prepared by boiling roasted unhulled barley kernels in water or brewing roasted and ground barley in hot water. In Japan, tea bags containing ground barley became more popular than the traditional barley kernels during the early 1980s and remain the norm today. Bottled tea Bottled barley tea is sold at supermarkets, convenience stores, and in vending machines in Japan and Korea. Sold mostly in PET bottles, cold barley tea is a very popular summertime drink in Japan. In Korea, hot barley tea in heat-resistant PET bottles is also found in vending machines and in heated cabinets in convenience stores. Blended barley teas and similar teas In Korea, roasted barley is also often combined with roasted corn, as the corn's sweetness offsets the slightly bitter flavor of the barley. The tea made from roasted corn is called oksusu-cha (corn tea), and the tea made from roasted corn and roasted barley is called oksusu-bori-cha (corn barley tea). Several similar drinks made from roasted grains include hyeonmi-cha (brown rice tea), gyeolmyeongja-cha (sicklepod seed tea), and memil-cha (buckwheat tea). Roasted barley tea, sold in ground form and sometimes combined with chicory or other ingredients, is also sold as a coffee substitute.

Chances are, the problem is on their side. They need to be sure that it was loaded to their authorized_keys file and that the permissions going down to the $HOME/.ssh directory are set restrictive enough. Also, they need to be sure that the $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys file they placed your public key into is that of the user with which you are trying to connect. The public key authentication is failing though. You can see it here being attempted. Thanks Guys, i'm able to resolve the issue. We asked the vendor for their Solaris logs - /var/adm/message , /var/adm/sshauthlog, /var/adm/authlog and then able to figure it out. The user id they created is in all upper case, and we were using lower case..! I never heard a situation where the user name is case sensitive, esp. for an ftp server.... Even our unix admin is stumpted on it!
Why Homebuyers Should Utilize a Real estate agent Menu Why Homebuyers Should Utilize a Real estate agent If a person is purchasing a new house, they could want to depend on the knowledge of a specialist real estate agent. These individuals are trained in the real estate industry and also recognize how you can help their clients discover the best residence in the right location. Some buyers can spend a great deal of money and time checking out residential properties that wear t have what they re trying to find. There are numerous advantages to collaborating with a real estate professional throughout the house getting process. Those trying to protect a new home could intend to maintain reading for more details. Assisting Customers Save Money When a homebuyer chooses to deal with a real estate professional, there s a great chance that they will conserve money when getting a home due to the fact that the agent or realtor will have their back during the negotiating process. Bargaining with the existing proprietors of a property could be testing for some people. They could be daunted by the process or not certain how you can reduce the price. A real estate professional could browse the house or the sell inquiry as well as develop a reliable strategy to lower the bidding rate of the house. If there s a concern with the property, the representative can assist the buyers make a much more informed choice. Assisting Customers Locate the Right Residential Or Commercial Property With many houses on the marketplace, discovering the ideal item of property could be challenging for some purchasers. They might not know where to look or the best ways to protect the home of their desires. A realty agent will have a lot of knowledge regarding the neighborhood property market. The representative can talk to the purchasers and also ask concerning just what they re trying here to find. After that, there s a good chance that the representative will certainly know exactly where to seek such a residence. Utilizing a realtor is specifically helpful if a person is trying to buy a piece of property in an area that s far where they presently live. They won t know much regarding the neighborhood property market, so they will require the help of a neighborhood realty representative. Individuals could conserve a lot of time and energy by collaborating with a reliable agent. They won t need to invest as much of their very own time looking for prospective residential or commercial properties as they would certainly if they were to forgo working with an agent completely. If an individual wants home purchasing in Kingston, they need to speak to a realtor in the area. With the experience and knowledge of the area, a real estate agent could assist an individual to browse the market as well as secure the house of their dreams.
Q: How can you reference a fully defined control as a resource within WPF? I am aware I can reference styles & templates from a resource dictionary and I make significant use of them. But what about complete controls? I can declare a fully defined WPF control, like a button, within the app.xaml as a resource. For example, the app.xaml file defining a button would contain this: <Button x:Key="HelpButton" Content="?" /> But how can reference it within the xaml markup of a user control so that the button is rendered? EDIT: In response to the question of "Why would you want to?" I agree that a button isn't an excellent example (it's just an easy one to describe). What about a polygon (not a control, I know) that you declare in app.xaml and want to use in multiple xaml files? A: You can't, and to be honest, I'm not sure why you'd want to. That button is one button, meaning that it can only be in one place (at one time); given that, it makes sense to define a new button in every place you need it. As you've already discovered, that's what template resources are for. (When I say that you can't, I mean that it's not supported in plain XAML; it's conceivable you could implement IValueConverter in a class that returns the button, and bind it in XAML to the content of a content control. And of course, you could use code to add and remove the button programatically from different containers as necessary. Neither seems like a great option.)
Guyanese Government & animal rights group partner to make roads safer Minister of Public Infrastructure, Hon. David Patterson (Right) & Director of Paws for a Cause-Guyana, Marcia Tucker signs the MoU. Photo: Ministry of Public Infrastructure The Ministry of Public Infrastructure (MoPI) in Guyana signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Paws for a Cause-Guyana (PFAC-G) to provide a space for the animal rights group to shelter stray animals. MoPI said this move was taken in a bid to make Guyana’s roads safer. The Ministry said: "Over the years, animals are constantly run over or killed on our roadways - they are the cause for minor and/ or fatal accidents. The MoPI has partnered with PFAC-G to minimize or at most to eradicate the death of humans and animals on our roadways by providing a place to shelter stray dogs and cats.” Minister of Public Infrastructure David Patterson signed the MOU on behalf of the Government and he noted: “The Ministry is pleased to participate in making a difference on our roadways, especially as it relates to the safety of lives of the citizens in Guyana.” PFAC-G Director Rabin Chandarpal stated, “We are really excited about this and it couldn’t have come at a better time, we have seen many carnages over the past months, the cause of this is beyond just smooth roads, drinking and driving, there seems to be a really bad culture of driving on the road and we know that the animal issue is one that is seen as relatively small, but, we at PFAC-G really believe that there is a strong connection between humans and animals. People see animals being run over and we see it as the value of life for animals being reduced and hence, we are striving to make a difference.” Under the MOU, PFAC-G will be provided with two locations at Den Amstel West Coast Demerara and Paradise East Coast Demerara to provide shelters for an initial period of two years.

Monomers and polymers in a centrifugal field: a new method to produce refractive-index gradients in polymers. A new method is presented to generate and to fixate compositional gradients in blends of two miscible and amorphous polymers. A compositional gradient is introduced into a solution of a polymer in a monomer by use of a centrifugal field, and this gradient is subsequently fixated by polymerization of the solvent-monomer. It is shown that substantial compositional and refractive-index gradients can be generated in miscible, highly transparent, amorphous polymer blends by a proper selection of materials and processing conditions. Moreover, it is shown that these materials and processes are potentially useful for producing optical components such as self-focusing lenses.

The present invention relates to a programme-controlled shutter capable of attaining the optimum exposure in response to the brightness of a subject. There has been devised and demonstrated a programme-controlled shutter of the type consisting of shutter blades driven by a shutter mechanism and aperture setting blades or diaphragms driven by a servo-motor. In this shutter, the shutter blades and the aperture setting blades are controlled by two aperture control means so that the optimum exposure may be obtained by a suitable combination of an aperture and an exposure time. However, this shutter has a distinct defect that its mechanical construction is very complex because the shutter incorporates not only an aperture setting mechanism for setting an aperture but also a shutter mechanism for setting an exposure time. The shutter mechanism utilizes the energy stored in a spring when the film is advanced so that it must incorporate means for storing the spring energy. Furthermore strong shock is encountered when the spring energy is transmitted to the shutter mechanism, causing the shaking of a camera with the result of blurring of a picture.

While watching the Brüno trailer the other day, it occurred to me that for a man like Sacha Baron Cohen to willingly engage in real-life actions that take place at the expense of others, which are described by the normal man as "cringeworthy", such as smashing up an antique store in Borat, it could be quite likely that he is a "socialised" sociopath, or something of that sort. This thought has led me to wonder if there are many other celebrities, who, due to their personality type have achieved a similar level of success. Any suggestions? I want to live to see the destruction of this universe, and the beginning of the next. I'm not so sure about Baron Cohen... ...I think he's more an intelligent guy who juist recognises an easy way to make a buck or two. It's like Marilyn Manson. He [Manson] doesnt' actually follow that goth culture. He just saw the niche that existed and decided to appeal to the youthful [and middle-class] youths. I cannot think of anyone else who was famous who could have had ASPD. I don't think it's actually possible for such a person to make it that far in life, which I'm guessing is going to prove a controversial statement. Chucky wrote:I don't think it's actually possible for such a person to make it that far in life, which I'm guessing is going to prove a controversial statement. I don't think it is possible for people with ASPD to go very far either Kevin. This is because some of the chief criteria for the disorder preclude it: Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest. Irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults Reckless disregard for safety of self or others Consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations Lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another Now this is not to say there are no successful psychopaths or sociopaths--those who lack the neurobiology to feel the full range of emotions and internalize social norms. ASPD is a label denoting behavioral abnormalities, not congenital neurobiological deficits in key areas of emotional and behavioral processing like the amygdala and prefrontal cortex that is characteristic of the Psycho/Sociopath and may or may not lead to antisocial acts and subsequently an ASPD diagnosis. Most, if not all ASPD individuals do not make it very far; some psychopaths and sociopaths do. That is the reality. If this is still not clear I'll elucidate with an example. I could go out and disrupt enough of society to receive an ASPD diagnosis, however I could never be a true psychopath--no matter how many people I kill--because my biology precludes it (makes it impossible). Psychopathy and Sociopathy must be relegated to a category of their own. Many scholars do not make this diagnostic distinction and ignorantly use these terms--ASPD, Sociopathy, and Psychopathy--interchangeably. It is up to the reader to not confuse the terms, and if an author has and you are reading their material and do not want to get confused then only temporarily allow the terms to be read interchangeably, but keep a distinct category in the back of your head labeled "Biologically based ASPD/psychopathy/sociopathy" out of respect for the true pathology.

Q: Capture TSQL when Missing_Join_Predicate event occurs I am configuring Event Notifications on a Service Broker Queue to log when various performance related events occur. One of these is Missing_Join_Predicate. The XML payload of this event holds nothing useful for me to identify the cause (TSQL, query plan, objectid(s) etc) so in the procedure to process the queue I am trying to use the TransactionID to query dm_exec_requests and dm_exec_query_plan to get the query plan and the TSQL where the dm_exec_requests.transactionid is the TransactionID from the event. The code catches no data. Removing the filter from the query (ie collecting all rows from dm_exec_requests and dm_exec_query_plan) shows there are records returned but none for the TransactionID in question. Is what I am trying to do possible? Where am I going wrong?! A: The trace based event notifications, like MISSING_JOIN_PREDICATE, are just a verbatim translation of the corresponding trace event (Missing Join Predicate Event Class) and carry exactly the same info. For this particular event there's basically no useful info whatsoever, the <TransactionID> is the xact id that triggered the event and, by the time you dequeue it and process the notification message, the transaction is most likely finished and gone (yay for asynchronous queued based processing). When using the original trace error event, eg. with Profiler, you could also enable SQL:BatchCompleted, filter appropriately and then catch the JOIN culprit in the act. But with Event Notifications I don't see any feasible way to automate the process to the point at which you can pinpoint the problem query and application. With EN you can, at best, raise the awareness of the problem, show the client that cause it (the app), and then use other means (eg. code inspection) to actually hunt down the problem root cause. Unfortunately you'll discover that there are more event notification events that suffer from similar problem(s).
Asparagus is a dioecious species with individual plants being either male or female. Asparagus cultivars that have been most commonly used for fresh market green asparagus in the major growing regions of California include, Atlas, Grande, Ida Lea, and UC157. These cultivars are all produced from crossing a genetically unique male clone with a genetically unique female clone to produce F1 seed.
Improvement of the enantioselectivity of lipase-catalyzed naproxen ester hydrolysis in organic solvent. A method is presented to improve the enantioselectivity of lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of naproxen methyl ester in water-saturated isooctane. It is shown that coupling of the enantioselective hydrolysis of Naproxen methyl ester with the photo-dissociation methanol leads to the photocatalytic conversion of methanol into water, by which the equilibrium constant (K) of the lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis was changed. The equilibrium yield and enantiomeric excess are increased. Because the lipase would not dissolve in the organic solvent, it was adsorbed on photocatalyst particles, which may facilitate the isolation of enzyme from reaction system.
Antimicrobial skin peptides and proteins. Human skin is permanently exposed to microorganisms, but rarely infected. One reason for this natural resistance might be the existence of a 'chemical barrier' consisting in constitutively and inducibly produced antimicrobial peptides and proteins (AMPs). Many of these AMPs can be induced in vitro by proinflammatory cytokines or bacteria. Apart from being expressed in vivo in inflammatory lesions, some AMPs are also focally expressed in skin in the absence of inflammation. This suggests that non-inflammatory stimuli of endogenous and/or exogenous origin can also stimulate AMP synthesis without inflammation. Such mediators might be ideal 'immune stimulants' to induce only the innate antimicrobial skin effector molecules without causing inflammation.

Q: how to respond to revmob sdk uialertview delegate? Im trying to implement revmob sdk, it works fine but their documentation dont have much detail and support not responding. (http://sdk.revmob.com/sdks/ios/docs/index.html) is there a way to use the delegate to know the status of the alertbox ? this is what I currently use to call: [BCFAds showPopupWithAppID:@"appId" withDelegate:nil]; A: after starting to ask the question I found the answer, so incase someone else have this problem here is the solution. to your .h file add a delegate called BCFAdsDelegate. add #import "BCFAds.h" in the .m file where you call the sdk add [BCFAds showPopupWithAppID:@"appId" withDelegate:self]; use the method you want: - (void)popupDidDismissActive; // Called when user is back to the app - (void)popupDidReceive; // Called when a popup is available - (void)popupDidFail; // Called when a popup is not available - (void)popupDidBecomeActive; // Called when popup is displayed - (void)popupDidDismissActive; // Called when user is back to the app - (void)userWillLeaveApplication; // Called when user clicked and is about to leave the application
Q: When you use Frame or JFrame in Java? Possible Duplicate: What is the difference between swing and awt? I often see that JFrame is used a lots. But sometimes, I also see that programmer use Frame in their example. So could you tell me the advantages/disadvantages of them? A: Well let me break it up for you.............. Before jumping into Frame Vs JFrame, let me explain you about AWT and Swing. AWT : - It has a Platform Dependent Look and Feel. - So it uses the Native GUI components. - As AWT uses the peer components, its called as Heavy Weight Component. Swing : - It has a Platform Independent Look and Feel. - And its because it uses the Pure Java Components. - As Swing uses pure java components, its know as Light Weight Component. Its was said that AWT is faster than Swing as it uses the Platform component, but due the arrival of faster processor, etc .... Its equivalent now..and you get lots of flexibility. Here is the GUI Tree : Object | Component | Container ---------|--------- | | JComponent Window | | JPanel Frame | JFrame Now Frame is an AWT component, where as JFrame is a Swing component. You can also that see JFrame extends Frame. But JFrame, provides lots of functinality and flexibility as compared to Frame, we can even say this that Swing provides better functionality with ease of implementing them. A: A frame is an AWT component(well this is the older classes for java GUI development) which uses native OS GUI support A JFrame is a Swing component which is the newer one, well today's java GUI development uses mostly Swing as an advantage you can have a lot of community support on it. as far as I know Swing has LookAndFeel Feature that you can configure to change the look of your GUI with just few line of codes. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/lookandfeel/

Why does vacuum drive to the loading of halloysite nanotubes? The key role of water confinement. The filling of halloysite nanotubes with active compounds solubilized in aqueous solvent was investigated theoretically and experimentally. Based on Knudsen thermogravimetric data, we demonstrated the water confinement within the cavity of halloysite. This process is crucial to properly describe the driving mechanism of halloysite loading. In addition, Knudsen thermogravimetric experiments were conducted on kaolinite nanoplates as well as on halloysite nanotubes modified with an anionic surfactant (sodium dodecanoate) in order to explore the influence of both the nanoparticle morphology and the hydrophobic/hydrophilic character of the lumen on the confinement phenomenon. The analysis of the desorption isotherms allowed us to determine the water adsorption properties of the investigated nanoclays. The pore sizes of the nanotubes' lumen was determined by combining the vapor pressure of the confined water with the nanoparticles wettability, which was studied through contact angle measurements. The thermodynamic description of the water confinement inside the lumen was correlated to the influence of the vacuum pumping in the experimental loading of halloysite. Metoprolol tartrate, salicylic acid and malonic acid were selected as anionic guest molecules for the experimental filling of the positively charged halloysite lumen. According to the filling mechanism induced by the water confinement, the vacuum operation and the reduced pressure enhanced the loading of halloysite nanotubes for all the investigated bioactive compounds. This work represents a further and crucial step for the development of halloysite based nanocarriers being that the filling mechanism of the nanotube's cavity from aqueous dispersions was described according to the water confinement process.
Q: Is it dumb to develop for LAMP on WAMP? After becoming somewhat estranged open source, and spending some years developing web applications in ASP.Net, I'm going to start doing quite a lot of PHP / MySQL development. I've quite painlessly installed WampServer to get a development environment up and running on my Windows machine, but the platform I'll be targeting will most likely be Linux. So my question is, am I likely to run into problems due to developing on Windows while targeting Linux? Is it advisable to invest in getting a Linux environment setup in which to develop my LAMP apps? A: If you can I'd invest in some kind of linux, or at least *nix, development environment. For simple applications and website your setup is fine, but you will eventually run into subtle differences when you deploy. Here are some things off the top of my head you'll want to watch out for if you stick with your Windows environment. File paths. A lot of PHP functions take file paths as arguments. Do NOT use the windows backslash () separator. Even though you're on windows PHP will let you use a forward slash separator. Ideally abstract this away with your own file path class. Apache Modules, PECL Extensions. Apache Windows and Apache Unix often come with a different set of Apace Modules installed by default. Also, the same version of a module may run differently on a different platform. If your application relies on any apache module, make sure it's available for both platforms. Same goes for PHP custom extensions (PECL) Process Forking. Using exec, `, etc. in a web app is a bad idea to begin with, but if you're using these functions they're going to behave differently between windows and *nix File Writing, Locking, etc. works different Email is handled differently on both platforms The PHP group's code word for Windows is "some platforms". You can research more on your own if you'd like In general, the closer your development environment matches your production environment, the less environment/deployment related issues you'll have. Hope that helps! A: I've been doing it for the last couple of years and haven't run into any problems yet - if anything it gives you an advantage by forcing you to write more portable code.
Q: angualrjs - form field `username` not working for `$pristine` nor `$error.required` I am building a custom form fields. i am trying to throw error when user click on the submit button on my username field. but some reasons, it's not working. here is my username field: <form name="myform" ng-submit="formSubmit()" novalidate> <input ng-model="fields.name.title" placeholder="Enter your name" name="username" type="text" required> <span ng-show="myform.username.$error.required && !myform.username.$pristine">Invalid name</span> <drop-down data="fields.levels" func='levelHandler'></drop-down> <drop-down data="fields.stages" func='levelHandler'></drop-down> <drop-down data="fields.colors" func='levelHandler'></drop-down> <button type="submit">Submit Form</button> </form> Live Demo any one help me please?

Try checking for $submitted instead. <span ng-show="myform.username.$error.required && myform.$submitted">Invalid name</span>
According to the pollution haven hypotheses differences in environmental regulation affect trade flows and plant location. Specifically, environmental stringency should decrease exports and increase imports of dirty goods. This paper estimates a gravity model to establish whether the implementation of more stringent regulations in Romania has indeed affected its competitiveness and decreased exports towards its European trading partners. Our findings do not provide empirical support to the pollution haven hypothesis, i.e. environmental stringency is not found to affect significantly total trade, or its components (pollution intensive trade and pollution intensive trade related to non-resource-based trade).
DESCRIPTION: (Applicant's Description) The long term objective of this project is to advance scientific understanding about the design and function of tobacco products through the acquisition, analysis and reporting of internal tobacco industry documents held in the Minnesota and other court depositories. Particular attention will be paid to the use of additives and the design of low yield cigarettes. The specific aims of this project include understanding how changes in cigarette design contribute to youth smoking and nicotine dependence. Another aim is to determine how cigarettes are designed to reduce non-smokers' perception of second hand smoke. The project also hopes to improve scientific knowledge about the toxic and addictive properties of cigarettes by reviewing tobacco industry research on smoker behavior, changes in toxic constituents in mainstream and side stream smoke and changes in nicotine delivery over time. This project is relevant to national health policy. The Food and Drug Administration has declared tobacco products to be drug delivery devices and other govemments have proposed regulating tobacco products as drugs to reduce death and diseases associated with their use. This project will provide important scientific infonnation for the better characterization of tobacco product perfonnance and such characterization is essential to tobacco product regulation. The project will electronically access documents from the Minnesota and other depositories for selected topic areas. Relevant documents will be indexed using a standard thesaurus and placed both on the internet as well as searchable CD roms and made available to policy makers and the scientific community. Documents will be analyzed and scientific reports will be written on tobacco product design, regulation and characterization.
Maturation of human dendritic cells induced by the adjuvant cholera toxin: role of cAMP on chemokine receptor expression. Cholera toxin (CT) is a very effective adjuvant for mucosal vaccination. It binds to cells through its B subunit and induces intracellular increase of cAMP through the A subunit. We previously showed that CT induces maturation of human dendritic cells (DCs) and this may account for its adjuvant property. Here, we investigated the role of the A subunit on DCs maturation by using forskolin, a cAMP inducer. The results show that although cAMP does not stimulate full maturation of DCs it induces upregulation of the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR7.

Q: Is it possible to put a custom GUI on top of an Excel spreadsheet? A friend of mine has a very complex Excel spreadsheet with many formulas and lots of data that he uses for work. He wants to put a custom GUI on top of it and then wants to sell it to other people in his profession. Basically he wants to make some freestanding software out of his spreadsheet? Is there any way to put a custom GUI on top of an Excel spread sheet? The spreadsheet would just reside in the backend and be a kind of database and do the calculations necessary. I know this is definitely not an elegant solution but I told him I'd look into it. Any ideas? A: I use Clear Office. You can host workbooks in your GUI, host GUI in your workbook. All .NET, no interop.

Technical Field This disclosure relates generally to data processing, and more specifically, to forward-only paged data storage management. Description of Related Art The approaches described in this section could be pursued but are not necessarily approaches that have been previously conceived or pursued. Therefore, unless otherwise indicated, it should not be assumed that any of the approaches described in this section qualify as prior art merely by virtue of their inclusion in this section. Data processing speeds in computer systems are constantly increasing to meet the growing demands for new computing resources. However, there is also a strong demand for increasing the storage and memory addressing speeds to take full advantage of modern computer systems. Today, many computer systems utilize various types of memory, such as a hard disk drive (HDD), solid state drive (SSD), random-access memory (RAM), and read-only memory (ROM). Unfortunately, some forms of memory often have a slower response time than any other components of a computing system. Thus, if a computing system utilizes a high performance processing unit, the overall performance may not be too high as the memory addressing speeds remain comparatively low. The reason for this is often not inherent limitations of the memory hardware, but rather the ways the data is written and read from the memory. Certain data structures are can be used to organize data in memory units. These data structures may allow managing large amounts of data, such as, for example, large databases or internet indexing services. Some data structures may be better suited to certain applications. Some data structures are highly specialized and tailored to specific tasks. Writing and reading data often involves a pointer. The pointer may be a virtual representation of a physical location in the memory space to which the data needs to be written or from which the data needs to be read. Traditionally, memory structures provide for a single pointer such that either a writing operation or a reading operation can be performed at one time. When the data needs to be read from the memory or written to the memory, the pointer may be virtually associated with a specific memory space or page to facilitate operations in accordance with software application requests. Unfortunately, there are a number of limitations associated with the aforementioned approach. First of all, the routine dedicated to performing the writing procedures locates a free page which may be used to store the data. This process may be rather time-consuming in terms of both time spent on identifying free spaces and time spent on moving the pointer to such free spaces to perform the writing operations. Furthermore, storage techniques may involve finding pages, in close proximity to each other, to store data consecutively. In light of this, some data management schemes utilize rewriting procedures for rewriting portions of the data from one location to another such that all of the data is located together. This procedure is oftentimes not only time-consuming, but may also cause errors or result in a data loss. Another disadvantage of present-day memory structures relates to the problem of storing large data objects on multiple disk drives (e.g., a redundant array of independent disks (RAID)). Data objects can be distributed across multiple disk drives via “RAID levels,” depending on the level of redundancy and performance required. Accordingly, in some circumstances, data objects can be split into a plurality of parts, each of which may be stored individually on the same or different disks. This approach leads to the increase of time necessary for data addressing since paged memory is implemented in such a way that only one pointer can be addressed to a single memory page at the same time. It means a single medium cannot provide parallelism in accessing multiple data objects or their parts. Hence, there is still a need for improvements in memory-management schemes to increase the data writing and reading speeds and integrity of stored data.
No problem~! I think never. At least, not until stupid MATT, who is supposed to know Shiro inside and out, figures out that Shiro is a clone >:V
In my summary of the last Republican presidential debate, I pointed out that Ben Carson appears to know absolutely nothing about politics and policy. I’m now happy (and a little sad) to report that I was right. On Wednesday, the retired neurosurgeon spoke with Kai Ryssdal of the American Public Radio Program “Marketplace.” The conversation was wide-ranging but focused mostly on debt and the federal budget. One segment in particular is making the rounds. Near the beginning of the interview, Ryssdal raised the issue of the debt limit. Specifically, he asked Carson whether he would support raising the debt limit. Carson’s answer was revealing to say the least: Advertisement: Carson: Let me put it this way: if I were the president, I would not sign an increased budget. Absolutely would not do it. They would have to find a place to cut. Ryssdal: To be clear, it's increasing the debt limit, not the budget, but I want to make sure I understand you. You'd let the United States default rather than raise the debt limit. Carson: No, I would provide the kind of leadership that says, "Get on the stick guys, and stop messing around, and cut where you need to cut, because we're not raising any spending limits, period." Ryssdal: I'm gonna try one more time, sir. This is debt that's already obligated. Would you not favor increasing the debt limit to pay the debts already incurred? Carson: What I'm saying is what we have to do is restructure the way that we create debt. I mean if we continue along this, where does it stop? It never stops. You're always gonna ask the same question every year. And we're just gonna keep going down that pathway. That's one of the things I think that the people are tired of. Ryssdal: I'm really trying not to be circular here, Dr. Carson, but if you're not gonna raise the debt limit and you're not gonna give specifics on what you're gonna cut, then how are we going to know what you are going to do as president of the United States? Ladies and gentlemen, this is Ben Carson, one of the frontrunners in the race to become the Republican nominee for President of the United States. And he has no idea what the debt limit is. When you’re asked a question you don’t understand, you have two options: ask that the question be repeated while you think of something clever to say, or pretend that a different question was asked and answer that. Carson adopted the latter approach. To be clear: this wasn’t one of those “gotcha" moments. Carson was asked a very simple question about a very relevant issue. Republicans have already brought the U.S. to the brink of default with their opposition to paying U.S. bills. This isn’t an obscure topic. And there are real consequences if we decline to raise the debt limit. As Ryssdal politely reminded him, the debt limit has nothing to do with current or future budgets; it’s about honoring the debts we’ve already incurred. How is it possible that a man running for president doesn’t know that? Carson’s rambling ignorance, disturbing as it is, isn’t really the problem here. The problem is that his ignorance doesn’t matter, not in this campaign and not in that party. Carson, much like Trump, has catapulted to the top of the polls without even a passing knowledge of relevant issues. If you listen closely, in the debates and in this most recent interview, Carson never really says anything. If there’s a difference between Carson and, say, Sarah Palin, it’s that Carson looks more dignified when saying stupid things, but that’s about it. If you cut through his demeanor and reputation and just listen to what he says, you’ll hear nothing but air. Advertisement: The point, of course, is that he’ll never pay a price for this in the Republican Party. This interview won't hurt him in the polls for the same reason his vacuous debate performances didn’t: The demand on the right for pleasant-sounding ignorance is too strong. I’m sure there are still a few adults left in the GOP, but they’ve lost control of their party. The base has won, and they’re getting exactly what they want: an empty vessel onto which they can project their idiocies and grievances. So Carson may be clueless, and this interview was truly embarrassing, but none of that matters. He’s still a frontrunner in the Republican race, however depressing that may be.

Symptomatic hypercalcemia in a rabies survivor underwent hemodialysis. Adrenal insufficiency is an uncommon and easily ignored cause among most etiologies of hypercalcemia because not all cases of adrenal insufficiency presented with hypercalcemia. In most cases of adrenal insufficiency, viral encephalitis-related panhypopituitarism is a rare complication that is sporadically encountered in previous studies. However, this complication has never been reported in rabies encephalitis because of the extremely high rate of mortality. Rapid recovery from hypercalcemia state after glucocorticoid supplement is a direct hint of adrenal insufficiency related hypercalcemia.

Developers are often required to work with DBMSs that they have little or no expertise in, and that is where db libraries like SQL Yoga really come handy. Many libraries, however, seem to expect that the tables in the database will already exist - or leave it up to the developer to create and modify them by some other means. That seems to me to defeat the purpose of the library. While being able to do CRUD operations is crucial, the developer can get away with using basic, standard SQL for most of these queries - and the knowledge required of the underlying DBMS is negligible. Creating and editing tables and fields, however, does require the developer to know the nitty-gritty of how things work behind the scenes - which is what we want to avoid - like: what data types are supported, when are indexes needed, how to setup foreign keys, etc. Does SQL Yoga provide a database-agnostic way of creating, altering and deleting tables (and defining fields)?
Many types of vehicles, including passenger vehicles and automobiles, commercial vehicles, as well as off-the-road (OTR) vehicles such as loaders, backhoes, graders, trenchers, mining vehicles, construction vehicles, and agricultural vehicles, often use pressurized rubber tires or pneumatic tires. Certain properties of tires in use on a vehicle, such as internal air pressure and temperature, can impact the performance and safety of the vehicle. As such, a need exists for systems and methods for monitoring tires on vehicles. A need exists for tire monitoring systems and methods that provides a user or vehicle operator with the desired tire properties being monitored, as well as the location of the tire. Moreover, a need exists for systems and methods for monitoring tires in OTR vehicles and the like.

Q: Redirect everything to a single page with htaccess I'm a total noob in HTAccess so please keep it simple. On my website i don't use the www.-domain. Everything is on a subdomain. However, when I refer to my website I refer to the www-section which redirect to the subdomain. This is simply done with PHP header() function. What I want to do is redirect everything on www.jeroened.be to the subdomain. But, I also want to redirect http://www.jeroened.be/blog to http://subdomain.jeroened.be/blog. The simpliest thing for me would be that everything is redirected to the index.php where I do my redirect to the subdomain. A: This should do what you're asking for. It redirects everything to the index page. RewriteEngine On RewriteRule . index.php You may hit an issue with it though in that it will also redirect images, css, etc... to the index page!

Side dependent effects of the human amnion on angiogenesis. Amnion (AM), the innermost layer of human placenta, has a variety of functions such as capability to reduce scarring and inflammation, as well as anti-microbial and immunoregulatory properties. However, there are challenging reports about angiogenic and anti-angiogenic effects of the AM. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the angiogenesis is dependent on epithelial or mesenchymal sides of this membrane. Dorsal skinfold chamber model was performed on male rats. A layer of dorsal skin of rats was removed and the AM was implanted in either epithelial side up or mesenchymal side up position. Intra-vital microscopy was done one week after tissue transplantation. In vitro evaluation of angiogenesis was also performed using rat aortic ring assay on the AM. The number of vessel sprouts and their lengths were increased more significantly in epithelial side up group comparing to the control group. Inhibitory effect of epithelial side of the AM on angiogenesis was clearly seen in mesenchymal side up group. Both number and length of sprouts in mesenchymal up group were decreased in comparison to epithelial side up group. In aortic ring assay, angiogenesis was detected on the AM after removal of the amniotic epithelial cells. This study showed that the AM has both angiogenic and anti-angiogenic properties, which is surface dependent. Therefore, the AM can have a vast application in both ischemic organs through inducing angiogenesis and pathological situations such as cancer in which angiogenesis must be inhibited.
Q: Checking for a css class on the nearest sibling() div with jQuery? Is there a way in jQuery to return the nearest sibling() div and check for a present class? I have a visual verticle list of items, in which some items either have a 1px border (to set them apart - premium items) or no border at all (standard items). While it looks great when a premium item is sandwiched between two standard items, when two or three premium items stack up the borders between them end up being 2px thick. I'm looking for a way, using jQuery or otherwise, to check if the <div class="item"> above the current div has the class featured-item (so checking if the div equals <div class="item featured-item">). From there, I will set another class name to set border-top to 0px and make the visuals flow a little better. Can anyone help me out? Sorry if this question is convoluted, hard to explain! A: if ($("#current-div").prev().hasClass("someClass")) { // logic here }

We did a little more digging and came across this public Facebook post by Guadalupe Lopez: We were about to find out who these teachers were when we then learned that KTLA published a story about the posts on Thursday night. Here is what KTLA has reported: A Riverside County school district is investigating a series of social media posts made by teachers Thursday saying the absence of students participating in the nationwide A Day Without Immigrants strike created a more productive classroom environment. The school in question was Rubidoux High School. KTLA shared the names of the teachers and also wrote that social science teacher Geoffrey Greer deleted the original post and then wrote this apology: “While I stand by my assertion that skipping school is no way to demonstrate one’s value to society, I do apologize for the harsh tone and hurtful structure of the previous message.” ​The safety and security of Jurupa Unified School District’s students is our first and most important obligation as a school district. A number of teachers have made social media postings regarding “A Day without Immigrants.” First, these postings absolutely do not reflect the opinions or beliefs of the school district. District staff are currently investigating how to respond to this issue. We will be on site to meet with students tomorrow morning. Neither the Board, nor staff, had any forewarning that such comments would be posted. We want to express that we are deeply concerned and distressed about the postings. We will investigate further and will take appropriate action in this matter.
Computing systems may be found in the workplace, at home, or at school. Computing systems may include computing and data storage systems to process and store data, and current computing systems can interact and share media. For example, streaming media is becoming more and more popular with users. At present, a variety of streaming audio, video, networked gaming and/or other media content is available to consumers from any number of diverse unicast and broadcast sources. Media streams are also used to provide other types of network-based media content, as well as live and pre-recorded broadcast video, audio, and the like. Currently, broadcast video systems that use computer networks face efficiency and latency challenges, such as, for example, where multiple different users or audience members want to view a media event at sufficiently the same time in order to avoid one user having ample time to consider the media event before the other user or audience members have viewed the media event on the same media feed. Systems and methods which may reliably and conveniently manage available networking resources while providing low latency multicast media streams to customers are valuable.
Planar optical waveguide in Cu-doped potassium sodium strontium barium niobate crystal formed by mega-electron-volt He-ion implantation. The first planar optical waveguide to the authors' knowledge has been formed in Cu-doped potassium sodium strontium barium niobate crystal by mega-electron-volt He(+) implantation. Both TE and TM modes are observed. The profiles of the ordinary and the extraordinary refractive indices are deduced from dark-line mode spectroscopy. The results show that the mega-electron-volt He implantation results in a decrease in refractive index in barriers for both n(o) and n(e), but for n(e) there is an obvious increase in the waveguide region. From an experiment in photorefractive two-wave mixing, it is found that the erasure time for two-wave mixing is prolonged by ion implantation.
A distribution system has an electrical substation which transfers power from a transmission system to a distribution system of a specified area or location. The electrical substation of a distribution system hereinafter referred to as a distribution substation provides power at a voltage suitable for intermediate or local distribution. The distribution substation essentially includes power switches which include components such as circuit breakers, isolators, etc., and power equipment which include instrument transformers constituting current transformer and/or voltage transformer, and distribution transformer. The power switches are generally used for switching on and isolating electrical equipment. It is required to de-energize the equipment to allow working on the equipment. It also clears the faults that may arise downstream. The distribution substation is generally mounted outdoor and insulated by air, when such distribution substation involves medium and high voltages. The power switch components and power equipment in a distribution substation are mounted in outdoor on individual structures supporting them. This outdoor mounting tends to occupy more space, unlike a Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) which is characterized by indoor mounting and gas insulation, which occupies comparatively lesser space. The space that an outdoor distribution substation occupies becomes crucial when such distribution substation is to be located in a city, where availability of land is a concern or in a hilly region, where an almost flat surface for accommodating the distribution substation becomes one of the most considerate requirements. This greatly influences the cost of the land required for installing such distribution substation. A GIS, although it occupies less space, has a limitation regarding the scope for expansion of the substation and is not economical for outdoor medium voltage levels, due to higher equipment cost. In general, the distribution substation mounted outdoor is still a preferred solution with regard to the operating voltage level, scope for substation expansion and comparatively lower cost. Hence, there is a desire for an outdoor distribution substation which occupies less space and inherits all the characteristics of the outdoor mounted distribution substation.

The body of it was so huge, like a small hamburger patty. the legs were short and hairy, and the thing ran across the bedroom walls with lightning speed. I sprayed ut with bathroom cleaners. Afterward, I looked up the species online and I felt bad after I realized I'd exterminated someone's pet tarantula. Cerebral Ballsy:After owning a pet rat or two and becoming accustomed to how friendly they are (they will prompt you to scratch them all day long), movies depicting rats as evil seem hilarious. The spell is broken and you know you are watching a bunch of movie animals specialist's trained pets. Hearing people shake with fright from what is possibly an escaped dumbo rat is cracking me up. Feral rats ain't pet rats. They have no problem biting and clawing people & pets, and they're one of the most common rabies vectors; an infected rat is basically the violent tweaker of the rat world. The shot schedule you have to go through after getting bit SUCKS. Sure a wild fat rat might be docile, but I wouldn't bet on it. I bet most could be tamed though.

Q: Check if something is before character php I would like to check whether there is some character before hyphen (-). If there is something then add <br>- If there is only space, do nothing. I am not good with regexes :( A: I used to be bad with regex at the beginning of my coding career, but just take the time to study it. The pattern you are looking for is very simple: ([^\s])(-) Here you can test with it: http://regexr.com/3f73e [^\s] means to match any characters that isn't a whitespace (\s means whitespace). - matches the hyphen () means a capture group. So capture group one will capture the character before the hyphen and capture group two will capture the hyphen. This is important for replacements as you want to maintain capture group one.

Many mental health campaigns consistently encourage people to spend more time talking. These campaigns consider talking as a sign of emotional literacy and essential to the development of positive mental health and psychological . This encouragement to talk is commonly deployed when discussing men’s mental health, where men are frequently stereotyped as self-destructively silent, stubborn and stoical in the face of mental health issues. For example, the Australian national mental health campaign ‘Beyond Blue’ starts its men’s mental health web-page with the sentence ‘men are known for bottling things up’. Likewise, recent media articles on men's mental health focus on men's alleged taciturnity, with accusatory titles such as 'men need to talk about their mental health' or 'not talking about mental health is literally killing men'. In this discourse, men themselves are implicitly blamed for their mental health woes. ‘If only men would talk more, their mental health would improve and their problems would be solved’ or so the argument goes. However, such a simplistic rendering of the issue is highly problematic for a variety of reasons. Firstly, it glosses over growing evidence that social context is a key determinant of mental health. Secondly, it blames the victim, further contributing to a lack of empathy and understanding. Thirdly, it ignores much research indicating that there are different modalities of mental health healing, many of which are action-based rather than talk-based. Social Context The amassed research indicates that social factors (rather than taciturn men) play a key role in the development and persistence of men’s mental health problems. For example, male and rates tend to be highest in rural areas with high unemployment and declining industries. This can lead to a lack of hope, meaning and purpose for many men, especially unskilled and less-educated ones. Other research indicates that negative life transitions can have a very harmful effect on men’s mental health. Well-researched factors include redundancy, divorce and bereavement, especially when this is sudden and unexpected. False accusations and subsequent investigations can also have a very damaging effect on men's mental health. Common across these factors is a process of shock, loss and the subsequent experience of an existential (and financial) vacuum. This concrete negative social experience is often the root cause of men's mental health issues, and focusing on men’s alleged inability to ‘open-up’ conveniently ignores these underlying social issues. Blaming the Victim As stated, many men’s mental health campaigns focus on men’s supposed silence and reticence to discuss problems. This can lead to a harmful narrative that blames and berates men for their mental health woes, implying that their own behavior is the root cause. This approach is known as ‘victim-blaming’ in public health, and is studiously avoided in women’s mental health campaigns, where social context is often acknowledged as a key determinant of mental health. Indeed, my own research indicates that media portrayals of women with mental illness tend to be much more and sympathetic than portrayals of men with mental illness, which tend to be harsh and punitive. Famed Stanford University Professor Philip Zimbardo rightly calls this an ‘empathy gap’, where societal sympathy for men is in short supply. This empathy gap manifests itself in various ways. Interestingly, numerous men in my own research studies have noted that they have tried talking about their mental health issues, but few men or women in their social circle have been prepared to listen. Some even report that family and friends have simply told them to 'man-up', or worse still ostracized them as black sheep. So who is really to blame for men's alleged taciturnity? The Differing Modalities of Healing University of Missouri Professor Amanda Rose has conducted considerable research comparing male and female orientations to talking, concluding that males often ‘don’t see talking about problems to be particularly useful…men may be more likely to think talking about problems will make the problems feel bigger and engaging in different activities will take their mind off of the problem’ Indeed, much research suggests that many men prefer action-based modalities of healing over talk-based modalities. This includes regular exercise, which has been shown to effectively reduce depressive symptoms. Likewise religious and traditional healing based on prayer, ritual or ceremony can be effective in improving men’s mental health, especially for minority, immigrant and aboriginal men. Some action-oriented mental health services specifically target men. One of these is known as ‘men’s sheds’; places where isolated and men can go to create, repair or make things- finding camaraderie, solace and support in the process. Men's sheds builds on men's strengths, and its motto contains much : 'men don't talk face-to-face, they talk shoulder-to-shoulder'. All of the above were discussed in-depth during a recent symposium on Men’s Mental Health at McGill University, where prominent researchers, journalists and politicians discussed underlying issues and potential solutions (see video below) Conclusion There is no one-size-fits-all solution to mental health issues. This is why an inclusive mental health system must offer different modalities of healing. For some men, face-to-face talking can lead to helpful comfort and support: ‘a problem shared is a problem halved’. For others, it can lead to painful brooding and rumination: ‘do not reopen old wounds’. For the latter, action-based modalities of healing may be more effective. Clinicians must elicit preferences, offer a variety of choices and work with the grain when interacting with individual male patients. Indeed, men who are berated and blamed for being ‘in denial’ or stubbornly silent may actually be engaging in a well-honed strategy of distraction and resilience. This strategy may have evolved after failed efforts to discuss mental health issues with others, a sad manifestation of the empathy gap that permeates wider society. Indeed, solving the men's mental health crisis involves changes at various levels. But currently, too much emphasis is being put on changing men's supposed silence, and not enough on changing society and changing the mental health services that are meant to serve the whole of society, Trite calls for men to 'talk more' are not the answer, and obscure the root causes of men's mental health woes. Take note.

"Georgina's interaction with the team has been a catalyst for much deeper reflecting together and appreciation of each other’s gifts." Bishop in the Church of England The choreography of conversation By the time Brightside is asked to work with leaders they are seriously accomplished. They have already won the equivalent of the Grand National. They are usually fiercely bright, emotionally intelligent, and politically astute. They have been through some serious crucible moments in their personal or professional lives which have made them exceptionally resilient – and shaped their moral compass. So what is the difference that could make a difference to them as leaders? What might Brightside offer that is different and of value? My primary goal with an individual or a team is to create safe uncertainty – that means creating and facilitating a safe environment in which people are willing to take risks, and feel safe enough to be challenged to think and behave in new or unchartered ways, as well as be supported in making small but significant choices that may light the touch paper for transformation and change, within themselves, with those whom they work, and in their organisations at large. I make firm and persistent efforts to be an outside observer and to listen – in order to connect to the people with whom I work, in the places they work. Then, together, we look beyond the immediacy of the moment of being stuck in the mud of tricky relationships or feeling lost in operational fog – to see the bigger strategic picture beyond. And then? And then we work out how to get there. The Spanish poet, Antonio Machado, said: ‘To talk with someone, ask a question first, then – listen.’ The craft and the choreography of what I do is to enable others to navigate their way through courageous, generative conversations. Conversations that might be at first feel difficult. But the rewards outweigh the certain difficulties en route as the fruits of increased trust, communication and confidence between teams grow – so they can perform more effectively together at work. The choreography of any conversation is an art form – it is a delicate but complex dance between two or more people. The choreography of conversation requires listening beyond wanting to broadcast what you have to say next, it involves, like a dance, turn taking and a sense of intuiting perfect timing within the nuances and the sub text of what is being said or ‘danced’ in the room. Want to know more? Choose from one of the following sections to discover more about how Brightside works and what our clients have to say about working with Georgina.
Bad timing and overly sexual text messages. We hooked up a couple times and then I had a friend pass away and she was sending me pretty graphic/sexual texts while I was grieving. I told her a few times that I just needed space and didn’t want her texting me like that, but she continued and so I ended it.
Q: Populate UITableView using NSMutableDictionary, keysSortedByValueUsingSelector My model class has a NSMutableDictionary with my data. In my view class, I want to display that data in my UITableView cellforRowAtIndexPath method. My view class has an NSArray for the data to display. I can do this to get my data into my NSArray to display correctly: self.CategoriesArray = [model.CategoryDictionary allKeys]; However, since NSMutableDictionary does not sort on its own, my items in my TableView are not in alphabetical order. I thought I could do this: However, I get the following error: 2Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[NSCFBoolean localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x13d0a20' I'm assuming that's because my view class doesn't know what to do with the localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare method. How do I solve this problem? Thanks. A: I think you were saying that this gives you the correct results, just not in order, right? self.CategoriesArray = [model.CategoryDictionary allKeys]; If that's the case, then this will give you the correct order if I'm understanding your question correctly: NSArray* keys = [model.CategoryDictionary allKeys]; self.CategoriesArray = [keys sortedArrayUsingSelector:@selector(localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:)];
Q: The meaning of operators >> and << in processing In processing what is the meaning of this operator? << and >> A: Have look at this link: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/op3.html. These are bit shift operators. The signed left shift operator "<<" shifts a bit pattern to the left, and the signed right shift operator ">>" shifts a bit pattern to the right. The bit pattern is given by the left-hand operand, and the number of positions to shift by the right-hand operand.
Generally, a laundry treating apparatus includes an apparatus for washing laundry (laundry for washing or laundry for drying), an apparatus for drying laundry, and an apparatus for performing both washing and drying laundry. A laundry treating apparatus of the related art includes a cabinet, a drawer provided to be ejected from the cabinet, and a receiving portion provided inside the drawer, providing a treating space of laundry such as washing or drying of laundry.
Children grow so rapidly that keeping them in appropriately sized clothing can be challenging. Many children grow out of their clothing well before the clothing is worn-out, stained, or otherwise unusable. Young children such as those in diapers can outgrow the length of pants event though the pants may have enough width to still be worn. Attempts to roll-up pant legs can be frustrating since they tend to unroll, which makes the ends of the pant legs susceptible to quick wear by being stepped on or dragged loosely. Rolled pant legs that are buttoned or tied up are typically rolled in a single direction and the rolled material tends to droop down and compress into a ring-shaped mass at the bottom of the pant leg(s), which can be unsightly.

Q: Use Python to change to normal mode I'm writing a function that uses Vim's Python API. The function runs while I'm in insert mode and I want this function to set my mode to normal mode. I tried a few things, like for example, this import vim vim.eval(r'execute normal! \<esc>') But unfortunately this doesn't work. I just get the error VIM:E121: Undefined variable: execute. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, generally speaking, I'd really like to know more about the vim module. It doesn't have a __file__ attribute, assuming that's because it's compiled. Is there source code anywhere I can view? Or generally where the file lives so that I can try importing it and running help(vim) without having to re-run my functions in a Vim environment. If you have any information on that, in particular, it'd help a lot. Thanks! A: Your question is more of a vim issue than a python one. vim.eval is basically the same as vim's eval( which evaluates an expression and does not run a command like execute. Additionally, your syntax for execute is wrong since the command takes a string: execute "normal! \<esc>" would be more correct. You could instead use the expression form execute(): vim.eval(r'execute("normal! \<esc>")') However, since you ultimately want to use a command I would recommend just using vim.command(cmd) instead. vim already has a command for leaving insert mode, stopinsert. vim.command('stopinsert') The documentation for the methods in the built-in vim module can be found using :help python which brings up doc/if_pyth.txt.
Advances in satellite remote sensing of pheno-climatic features for epidemiological applications. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) technologies are being used increasingly to study the spatial and temporal patterns of diseases. They can be used to complement conventional ecological monitoring and modelling techniques, and provide a means to portray complex relationships in the ecology of diseases with strong environmental determinants. In particular, satellite technology has been extraordinarily improved during recent years, providing new parameters useful to understand the epidemiology of parasites, such as vegetation indices, land surface temperatures, soil moisture and rainfall indices. In the present review, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is primarily considered, since it is the index characterizing vegetation that is most used in epidemiological studies. Multi-temporal study of RS data allows collection of bio-climatic information about risk area distribution, along with predictive studies and anticipatory models of diseases, at different geographic scales ranging from global to local. The main physical and technological basis of a mathematical model, effective at different scales, for identification of landscape pheno-climatic features is described in the current paper.

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for reliable and objective evaluation of sport specific data. The measurement and analysis of the trajectories of athletes is one possible approach to gain such insights. It allows the assessment of the physical performance and tactical behavior of athletes. Thus, it can yield helpful feedback for athletes, coaches and referees. Furthermore, spectators can be supplied with additional information about the accomplishments of their idols. Local Positioning Systems (LPS) provide a means for the measurement of athletes' positions and motion trajectories. State-of-the-art systems use time-of-arrival or time-difference-of-arrival measurements of electromagnetic waves. These electromagnetic waves travel between antennae with fixed and known positions and mobile transponders (tags) with unknown and variable positions. Using the timing measurements from several antennae with respect to the mobile transponder, the position of the mobile transponder in the coordinate system of the local positioning system can be determined. When such a mobile transponder is attached to an object or person, the position of this object or person can be determined from the position of the mobile transponder. Usually, directive antennae are preferred over omnidirectional antennae in order to extend the ranges of the radio coverage areas. Throughout this text, ‘range’ shall mean the maximum distance to the antenna to which the transponder may be located in order to receive electromagnetic waves from said antenna. In addition, ‘coverage area’ shall mean the area on which the transponder must be located to receive electromagnetic waves from said antenna. For the purposes of this text, ‘the transponder is within range of the antenna’ shall mean that the distance between the transponder and the antenna is short enough for the transponder to receive electromagnetic waves from said antenna. Moreover, it is understood that in addition to being within range of the antenna, the transponder needs to be on the effective coverage area of the antenna in order to receive electromagnetic waves from said antenna. For illustrative purposes only, a radiation pattern of a typical directive antenna is given in FIGS. 1a and 1b. In particular, FIG. 1a shows the horizontal radiation pattern and FIG. 1b shows the vertical pattern. It is to be noted that radiation pattern' refers to the angular dependence of the strength of the electromagnetic waves from the antenna. Understandably, if the mobile transponder is not within range of said antenna, or within range but not in the coverage area of a directive antenna of the LPS, no timing measurement will be available for said antenna with respect to said transponder. However, in order to allow localization of the transponder, a sufficient number of timing measurements needs to be available. In particular, to obtain a unique 2D position solution, at least three timing measurements are required, and to obtain a unique 3D position solution, at least four timing measurements are required. As a consequence, if the number of available timing measurements is not high enough, the position of the transponder cannot be determined. Moreover, even if the number of available timing measurements is sufficient to calculate the transponder's position, it is advantageous to increase them in order to improve accuracy. A solution for reducing the risks that a situation where the position of the transponder cannot be calculated and/or to enhance the calculation accuracy, is to increase the number of antennae in the vicinity of an area of interest on which the transponder is supposed to move. However, adding additional antennae is costly, and the number of antennae a LPS can handle is usually also limited.
County Clare Commentaires I lived in Kilkee for three months and I have to say that it's a beautiful place. The town is just charming. Lisdoonvarna is a perfect spot to spend a few days. We stayed three and that was perfect. We visited the Cliffs of Moher and drove to the beach at Lahinch twice. Lisdoonvarna was close to the sites but you don't have to deal with the hassle of Lahinch. This was our third trip to Ireland and our first to Lisdoonvarna but it won't be our last! Kilfenora … The men are very friendly and only too willing to show you the sites! Doolin … Just a quick couple of comments. GO TO THE MUSIC STORE. It's really cute, and it serves GREAT chocolate cake with whipped cream. Bring cash, because there is no ATM in town, and the grocery store does not accept credit cards.

Q: Por que "return false;" , em um evento de clique, cancela a abertura do link? Por que o return false prevalece sobre, por exemplo, um href? Temos como exemplo esse código: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Uma página linda</title> </head> <body> <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/" onclick="return false;" title="Link pra stackoverflow" target="_blank">Melhor site de todos (Stackoverflow)</a> </body> </html> Quando clicado, nesse caso, não aconteceria nada, devido ao return false. Mas por que isso? Por que ao clicar no link o evento de direcionamento do site não "funciona"? A: Não é uma questão de prevalecer. O que acontece quando você clica no link é que é disparado em evento. Este evento apenas chama uma código que deve executar o que o programador deseja. No caso o evento chama-se onclick e está associando ao a href. O código pode fazer o que quiser ali. No caso ele não faz nada. Foi definido na especificação (acredito eu) que este código definiria se a ação normal do clique ainda seria executada ou não baseado no retorno de um booleano fornecido por este código executado pelo evento. Então se o código retornar um true (se não me engano não precisa retornar alguma coisa específica para que a ação normal ocorra) a ação normal ainda é executada após a ação deste código, mas retornando false a ação normal é suprimida. Considera-se que tudo o que deveria ser feito já está feito pelo código. É uma convenção útil estabelecida para dar mais flexibilidade. É apenas uma decisão simples que é tomada pelo engine baseada nas regras pré-estabelecidas. Imagine como seria complicado realizar certas tarefas se o link "funcionasse" sempre depois de você fazer uma ação. Eventualmente você teria repetição da ação ou ações conflitantes. Exemplo: <a href="http://www.pt.stackoverflow.com/" onclick="return (confirm('Pode seguir o link?'))">SOpt</a> Coloquei no GitHub para referência futura. Hoje é possível usar algo mais moderno como o event.preventDefault. A: O @Maniero já deu uma boa explicação geral, é aquilo mesmo: foi convencionado que o return false cancela o comportamento padrão do elemento (no caso do clique em uma âncora, seguir o link definido no href, mas existem outros exemplos, em outros elementos, como cancelar o envio de um formulário). Vou complementar aqui com alguns detalhes técnicos. Para ficar menos pesado, tentei organizá-los em forma de lista. A especificação distingue entre event handlers e event listeners. Os handlers são adicionados diretamente no HTML, como no seu exemplo, ou via JavaScript pela sintaxe elemento.onevento = function(){};. Só existe um handler por elemento. Os listeners são adicionados com addEventListener, e pode haver mais de um por elemento. Esse comportamento do return false; de fato serve para impedir a ação padrão do elemento, e só funciona em event handlers, nunca em event listeners. Código JS "solto" dentro de um handler criado via HTML é sempre implicitamente embrulhado em uma função, e essa função se torna o handler. Como return só faz sentido em funções, isso explica por que ele funciona em exemplos assim: <a href="#" onclick="return false;">teste</a> Isso também explica porque isto não funciona (considere retornaFalse como uma função que retorna false): <a href="#" onclick="retornaFalse();">teste</a> ... mas isto funciona: <a href="#" onclick="return retornaFalse();">teste</a> Quando estiver usando listeners, existem duas maneiras de cancelar o evento: Executar o método preventDefault do objeto evento passado ao listener. Definir a propriedade returnValue desse mesmo objeto para false.

"Students will also be taken 'on country' by local Aboriginal mentors and learn about the local history and culture in the natural environment." This will be some students' first experience of life in rural and regional Australia, travelling on average 400km to participate. "The local communities put a lot of effort into welcoming the students and showing them the great lifestyle that is enjoyed in these thriving rural towns," Dr Chater said. "Having the chance to live and experience clinical practice in a rural and remote community during a medical degree is a unique opportunity for students, and one that encourages them to practice rurally after graduation. "Even short rural placements for otherwise metropolitan-based medical students significantly improves their knowledge of and their attitude to rural health issues." Students will spend this week in the community, preparing for a longer rural placement.

Changes in hemopoiesis of mice of the C3H strain following transplantation of Gardner lymphosarcoma and infection with LDH-virus. I. Circulating blood. The values of red and white blood count, of spleen and liver weight were determined in mice of the C3H strain after transplantation of Gardner solid lymphosarcoma contaminated with LDH-virus and after infection of LDH-virus, and compared with those found in normal intact mice. Special attention was devoted to early post-transplantation period and the final stage of tumor growth. The second day after infection of mice with LDH-virus, leukopenia with marked lymphopenia was observed, together with a reduced number of reticulocytes and spleen enlargement. The same changes became more pronounced in tumorous mice on the second posttransplantation day. The changes--with the exception of spleen enlargement--following LDH-virus infection became normalized within the period of the final stage of tumor growth. Contrarily, in mice with tumors in the final stage of the disease besides spleen enlargement also the reduced erythrocyte counts, leukopenia with pronounced lymphopenia and thrombocytopenia were found.
Anti-inflammatory activity of lycopene isolated from Chlorella marina on type II collagen induced arthritis in Sprague Dawley rats. The role of commercially available lycopene (all-trans) from tomato in controlling arthritis has been reported. Even though many reports are available that the cis form of lycopene is more biologically active, no report seems to be available on lycopene (cis and trans) isolated from an easily available and culturable sources. In the present study, the anti-arthritic effect of lycopene (cis and trans) from the algae Chlorella marina (AL) has been compared with lycopene (all-trans) from tomato (TL) and indomethacin (Indo). Arthritis (CIA) was developed in male Sprague dawley rats by collagen and the following parameters were studied. The activities of inflammatory marker enzymes like cyclooxygenase (COX), lipoxygenase (LOX) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were found to be decreased on treatment with AL when compared to TL and Indo. Changes in Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), white blood cell (WBC) count, red blood cells (RBC) count, hemoglobin (Hb), C-reactive protein (CRP), rheumatoid factor (RF), and ceruloplasmin levels observed in the blood of arthritic animals were brought back to normal by AL when compared to TL and Indo. Histopathology of paw and joint tissues showed marked reduction in edema on supplementation of AL. Thus these results indicate the potential beneficiary effect of algal lycopene on collagen induced arthritis in rats when compared to TL and even to the commonly used anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin. Therefore lycopene from C. marina would be recommended as a better natural source with increased activity and without side effects in the treatment of anti-inflammatory diseases.
For example: “During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year…” The effect of an alliterative phrase draws attention to specific words and often the connection between those words; it can also create rythm to a piece of literature. In this specific example, the repetition of the "d" sound contributes to the overall opressive atmosphere Poe establishes with the opening paragraph of his short story.

Twelve years ago, Pushpam got married to the Kumar Rai family in Bihar. Soon after her wedding, her husband and in-laws started demanding money as dowry. On 11th May this year, as her five-year-old son watched, they brutally beat and murdered her because they did not get the money that they demanded. We immediately filed an FIR at the local police station. Shockingly, the police failed to take action and asked us to compromise if we wanted this case to go in our favour. The culprits have not been arrested yet. My nephew talks about his mother’s death everyday. I want justice for my sister. But as a brother who couldn’t do anything to save his sister, I also want to ensure that no woman ever suffers her plight in my district Begusarai in Bihar. Thats why I started a petition on Change.org telling the Begusarai Superintendent of Police (SP), Ms. Harpreet Kaur to immediately start an investigation into my sister's death so that the guilty can be punished. As the SP, it is Ms. Kaur’s duty to ensure that such acts of violence against women don’t occur in Begusarai district again. Dowry has been a evil in our country for many years, but I want to end this practice in Begusarai and I can’t do this without your support. Please sign my petition and forward it to your friends and family. We need as much support as we can get to ensure justice for my sister Pushpam and to end the practice of dowry in Begusarai.
Posts tagged The Hills Reality TV star turned fashion designer/New York Times bestselling author/blogging extraordinaire Lauren Conrad personifies easy, breezy, California style. From her daily uniform of a C&C tank and ripped jeans on Laguna Beach, to the side-braid style she made ever-so-popular from her days on The Hills, to her sophisticated and simple style as of late, there is no look that this beachy (now ombre’d) blonde can’t pull off. So what is the secret to LC’s fabulous, yet effortlessly chic style? She has figured out what is most flattering for her, and runs with it. She is able to dress up basics with fabulous accessories and fun hair and makeup, yet never wears anything overtly trendy or embellished. Her upcoming fashion collection, Paper Crown, places an emphasis on fabulously simple, timeless pieces that can be mixed and matched to create a plethora of looks suitable for any occasion, body type, or style. Lauren’s most recent looks showcase her ability to put trendy hair and makeup looks with simple, well-tailored clothing to create a style that is all her own. Let’s take a closer look! On a recent appearance on Chelsea Handler’s show (just hours after she turned in the manuscript for her fifth novel – is this girl an overachiever or what?!), Lauren looked gorgeously glam in a black mini-dress with lace overlay, worn with chunky wooden platforms. Her hair was perfectly plaited to the side and with the help of makeup artist Amy Nadine (with whom Lauren runs beauty blog, The Beauty Department), she looked positively radiant. You can get Lauren’s look by pairing this dress [choose one]
Synthetic biologists are able to co-opt the cellular translation machinery to produce large libraries of designed peptides in vitro to screen for desired functions. The quality of discovered peptides from these libraries is limited by the amount and complexity of sequence space explored. Currently, the sequence space accessible to in vitro translation reactions is a very small subset of the theoretical space as synthetic biologists are unable to incorporate the full array of unnatural amino acid species. A key step limiting the use of unnatural amino acids for in vitro translation is their delivery to the ribosome by tRNAs and elongation factors. While a single elongation factor (EF-Tu) is responsible for delivering all twenty natural amino acids to the ribosome, there remains a high level of specificity, as EF-Tu does not efficiently deliver tRNAs misacylated with non-cognate amino acids. This specificity is due to the tight range of binding affinities between correctly acylated tRNAs (aa- tRNAs) and EF-Tu. Interestingly, an ancient duplication of EF-Tu led to the evolution of an elongation factor (SelB) and tRNA (tRNASel) that are used exclusively for delivery of the twenty-first amino acid, Selenocysteine, to the ribosome. The evolution of EF-Tu and the more restrictive SelB, as well as the evolution of diverse tRNA sequences, can be used in molecular evolutionary analyses to computationally identify sites within tRNAs and EF-Tu that may govern binding affinity. Analyses that incorporate evolutionary information are able to identify sequence signatures that are associated with specific functions. In this case, analyses will identify sites in tRNAs associated with weak or strong binding to EF-Tu and will also identify sites in EF-Tu associated with recognition of amino acids and tRNAs. Candidate sites will then be experimentally tested using an in vitro translation reaction and querying mutant tRNAs or EF-Tu for delivery of a variety of aa-tRNAs. Thus, candidate sites that functionally affect binding/recognition of aa-tRNAs by EF-Tu will be identified. These experiments will lead to a better understanding both for how aa-tRNA specificity is achieved as well as how tRNAs and EF-Tu can be manipulated to control aa-tRNA recognition. From this, mutant tRNAs and EF-Tus capable of delivering unnatural amino acids to the ribosome will be designed and experimentally tested. Overall, this work will lead to a better understanding of the biological process of aa-tRNA delivery to the ribosome, which can inform manipulations of this system to expand the repertoire of amino acids that can be efficiently used by synthetic biologists for in vitro translation reactions. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Peptides can be used to treat conditions ranging from infection to cancer but screens for medically useful peptides are currently limited in the synthesis of diverse peptides. I will exploit evolutionary analyses to advance the creation of peptide libraries that can be used in drug screens for therapeutic compounds.

Q: Android pass string into onbind service causes crash I am trying to pass a string from my MainActivity into my ServiceAdapter class using the binder class. The application simply takes what has been written into the EditText called oneand will then take that string and pass it through ServiceAdapter which will then take that string and write it into a text file. The issue I am experiencing is that I get a fatal exception error if i simply call on the method from the ServiceAdapter class regardless of whats inside the method. I even created a method that just prints "hello world" and that also crashes. So I am not sure what is wrong here, any help is appreciated. thank you //main activity Button BtnStart, BtnStop; EditText Edt; TextView one; ServiceAdapter mService; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); BtnStart = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1); BtnStop = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button2); Edt = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1); one = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1); } public String GetText() { String Text = this.Edt.getText().toString(); return Text; } public void StartService(View v){ //start Service //startService(new Intent(getBaseContext(), ServiceAdapter.class)); Intent i = new Intent(this,ServiceAdapter.class); bindService(i, sc, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE); Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Service has been binded", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); this.mService.StringToFile(GetText()); Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Text Written", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } public void StopService(View v){ //stop service unbindService(sc); Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "Service has been unbinded", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } private ServiceConnection sc = new ServiceConnection() { @Override public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) { } @Override public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) { LocalBinder binder = (LocalBinder) service; mService = binder.getService(); } }; @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present. getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu); return true; } @Override public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) { // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml. int id = item.getItemId(); if (id == R.id.action_settings) { return true; } return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); } } //serviceAdapter package com.example.modulefour; import java.io.BufferedWriter; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileWriter; import java.io.IOException; import android.app.Service; import android.content.Intent; import android.os.Binder; import android.os.IBinder; import android.widget.Toast; public class ServiceAdapter extends Service { private final IBinder mBinder = new LocalBinder(); MainActivity main; FileWriter fw; BufferedWriter bw; @Override public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub return mBinder; } //create new class to call binder public class LocalBinder extends Binder{ public ServiceAdapter getService(){ return ServiceAdapter.this; } } public void StringToFile(String x){ //write EditText to text file String Text = x; if(!Text.trim().equals("")) { File file = new File("TextFile.txt"); //if file doesn't exist, then create it if(!file.exists()) { try { file.createNewFile(); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } //write file try { fw = new FileWriter(file.getName(),true); bw = new BufferedWriter(fw); bw.write(Text); bw.close(); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } } } A: The Service won't start instantly when you call bindService(i, sc, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE); That's why you have this piece of code: private ServiceConnection sc = new ServiceConnection() { @Override public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) { } @Override public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) { LocalBinder binder = (LocalBinder) service; mService = binder.getService(); } }; As you can see, you get the reference to the service inside onServiceConnected, and there is where you can safely call mService's methods. Try adding the: this.mService.StringToFile(GetText()); there: private ServiceConnection sc = new ServiceConnection() { @Override public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) { } @Override public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) { LocalBinder binder = (LocalBinder) service; mService = binder.getService(); this.mService.StringToFile(GetText()); } }; (And of course, removing it from where it's now)
