Hospitals and patient-monitoring equipment: time for a reappraisal.
Is patient-monitoring technology becoming overused? Five years ago, no one would even have posed the question. Now, almost any patient, whether under heavy sedation or a local anesthetic, is a candidate for monitoring under today's standards of care. And a growing number of organizations are setting guidelines on the use of patient monitors. Monitors of all kinds are being used to track the vital signs of patients in virtually every hospital department--from operating and recovery rooms to critical care units. And because existing guidelines are vague about where and when monitors are required, hospitals may need more monitors simply to avoid liability. |
Configuration resistors are used by configuration circuits to determine digital codes. These digital codes are often used to configure parameters of integrated circuits (ICs) such as I2C bus addresses, boot options, device vendor information (e.g., part family or capacity), and other parameters. The number of unique digital codes that can be represented by a single resistor under test is limited by the resolution and accuracy with which a configuration circuit of the IC can determine resistance. Often the resistance is determined by measuring a value that is proportional to resistance, such as by measuring a voltage at a terminal of the resistor.
Some attempted solutions use a fixed current source to develop a fixed test voltage at a terminal of a configuration resistor and compare that fixed test voltage to a varying reference voltage. The result of the comparison is used to obtain a digital code.
Some attempted solutions use a varying current mirror circuit to develop both a varying test voltage at a terminal of a configuration resistor and a varying reference voltage. The varying test voltage is compared to the varying reference voltage. The result of the comparison is used to obtain a digital code. Because a current mirror circuit is used to develop the test voltage and the reference voltage, the test voltage and the reference voltage vary dependently.
Some attempted solutions use an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) coupled to a terminal of a configuration resistor. The ADC creates a digital representation of an analog signal at a terminal of a configuration resistor. The digital representation is used to obtain a digital code. |
As far as we are concerned, we are ready to leave today, tomorrow, at any time, to join the people of Haiti, to share in their suffering, help rebuild the country, moving from misery to poverty with dignity. |

Chronic monitoring of various cardiac intervals provides valuable information about the condition of subject's heart. The monitoring of intervals with an implantable medical device (IMD) provides information about cardiac episodes of arrhythmia, heart rate, heart rate variability, and the like.
Thus, there is a need in the art for an improved IMD including IMDs that only monitor, and IMD that also deliver therapy (e.g., single, dual, and triple chamber devices) that monitors traditional cardiac intervals, newly discovered algorithms that can gather other cardiac information. Specifically, there is a need for apparatus and methods to easily and efficiently measure P-wave duration, ending time, and QRS duration to beneficially provide predictors of improving and failing cardiac status for subjects that have an IMD. |
It is not the best Makefile but it does the job. If you placed your SDK into another path, just edit the PALMINC-Variable in this Makefile.
Make sure you use the correct filename. If you have a helloWorld-Application liks this:
and the c-file is called "HelloWorld.c", you can use it as it is. Otherwise just change the filename.
Copy the Makefile in folder next to your .c-file and run in a terminal "make all". You should now have a working .prc-file, which you can install on a Palm-OS-Device or POSE:
Note: This is a very basic not the best way to compile and build Palm-OS-Applications. If you are lucky and own a copy of CodeWarrior for Palm Os, use this IDE. It comes with everything you need and generates much better code. And it runs with Wine on Ubuntu without any problems. |
Q:
Spring RestTemplete get GeoJson
How can I use Spring RestTemplate to get GeoJson into my controller? I need it to get GeoJson to my controller so I can pass it to a view where I will draw it on a map.
I tested it with String and get for object like so:
String featureCollection = restTemplate.getForObject(geoJsonUrl, String.class);
It works for now but what is a better way of doing so?
A:
I'm not aware of a RestTemplate message converter that directly supports GeoJson. However, you can try to use MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter to consume the resource as a Jackson JsonNode. Then it will be easier to traverse the json structure.
JsonNode featureCollection = restTemplate.getForObject(geoJsonUrl, JsonNode.class);
By default MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter only supports the application/json media type. If the server is setting a different Content-type, then you may need to specify that. For example, the following sets the supported media type to text/javascript:
MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter jackson = new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter();
jackson.setSupportedMediaTypes(Collections.singletonList(new MediaType("text", "javascript")));
List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters = new ArrayList<HttpMessageConverter<?>>();
converters.add(jackson);
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate(converters);

Conventionally, a system is known in which a transmission device is connected to a system bus of a controller and has the function to process communication commands from the controller. In such a system, when the operation of the transmission device and the task of the controller are asynchronously carried out, there may be an overlap in their individual timings at which the transmission device and the controller use shared system resources (such as a system bus and shared memories). Such an overlap may cause a delay in the execution of the task by the controller. As a general countermeasure thereto, for example, the transmission device sets a waiting time at key points of the operation which occupies the shared system resources over a long period of time and temporarily yields the shared system resources to the controller during the waiting time.
However, even if the above countermeasure is taken, a delay may still occur in the task execution by the controller during a time taken for yielding the shared system resources.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a transmission device, a controller, and a system including the transmission device and the controller that enable the controller to execute a task without a delay, unaffected by the operation by the transmission device. |
Q:
MySQL regex only returns a single row
I have been writing a REGEX in MySQL to identify those domains that have a .com TLD. The URLs are usually of the form
http://example.com/
The regex I came up with looks like this:
REGEXP '[[.colon.]][[.slash.]][[.slash.]]([:alnum:]+)[[...]]com[[./.]]'
The reason we match the :// is so that we don't pick up URLs such as http://example.com/error.com/wrong.com
Therefore my query is
SELECT DISTINCT name
FROM table
WHERE name REGEXP '[[.colon.]][[.slash.]][[.slash.]]([:alnum:]+)[[...]]com[[./.]]'"
However, this is returning only a single row when it should really be returning many more (upwards of a thousand). What mistake am I making with the query?
A:
Not sure if that's the problem, but it should be [[:alnum:]], not [:alnum:]

[Hysteresis, multiplicity of stationary states and auto-oscillations in the reversible flow-through reaction].
A mathematical model has been investigated of a reversible flow-through reaction S1 reversible S2 catalyzed by an olygomeric enzyme E(R,T) the protomers of which undergo concerted conformational transitions R reversible T. The isosteric activation of olygomer E by product S2 binding preferably to protomer active sites in conformation R is shown to be a possible cause of hysteresis in the quasi-stationary input characteristic of the reaction, v (s2). The latter determines the rate law of the reaction, provided the concentration of S2 is a quasi-stationary one. The hysteresis of the characteristic v (s1) gives rise to multiple steady states and self-oscillations in the reaction. |
Automatic speech recognition--can it improve the man-machine interface in medical expert systems?
Computer-aided medical diagnosis has existed for two decades, but has not yet attained widespread acceptance among physicians. It is proposed that automatic speech recognition may be a significant factor in the eventual acceptance of the technology by the medical profession. The current state-of-the-art of automatic speech recognition is briefly surveyed, and problems with the technology are discussed. A potential natural language interface with DIAG, an expert system for aiding in dermatologic diagnosis, is described. A system that has been developed for accepting input of body parts in freestyle format is presented as a prototype for a natural language interface with an automatic speech recognition device. |

While a former writer of the popular Christian animated show VeggieTales argues there is just one race of vegetables, one college student raises an interesting question. If all vegetables are descended from vegetables Adam and Eve, who ate the forbidden fruit, then why are the “evil” characters in the children’s show darker shades with accents?
A student at Cal State San Marcos suggests the popular Christian animated show VeggieTales is racist. (Photo: DreamWorks Classics, NBCUniversal Television Distribution)
Cal State San Marcos’s Annual Whiteness Forum is a project from professor Dreama Moon’s “Communication of Whiteness” class. This year’s forum featured projects by students who claimed that the NFL is racist, as it has white owners but the teams are mainly composed of black men, and that women who back President Trump further white supremacy by supporting him. But perhaps the hottest take is the theory surrounding VeggieTales.
The female author of the project doesn’t just believe that VeggieTales enforces racial stereotypes, she believes that it may “taint” children as their minds are still developing.
A project exploring racism and whiteness focuses on VeggieTales. (Photo: thecollegefix.com)
“When supremacists aim to taint the way children think of people of color, it will work,” the project reads. “Whiteness in the Bible isn’t just seen as ‘power’ it’s seen as ‘good.’ When kids see the good white character triumph over the bad person of color character they are taught that white is right and minorities are the source of evil.”
The student believes that the evil characters, who she claims are not redeemable, sound “ethnic” or “Latino,” and the good characters sound white.
Bob and Larry, a tomato and a cucumber who remind children that “God made you special and he loves you very much,” are red and green (also, tomatoes are fruit), but is this college student completely wrong, seeking to find racism in anything that people enjoy?
Probably not, as this has happened often.
Cartoon character’s accents and colors affect the way we perceive them. Sociolinguist Calvin Gidney told the Atlantic that villains are often depicted with nonstandard dialects.
The associate professor in child study and human development at Tufts University who specializes in sociolinguistics made a note of Scar, from The Lion King, who spoke in a British accent. Meanwhile, his minions, the hyenas, spoke in African-American English or English with a Spanish accent.
Story continues
“Villainy is marked just by sounding different,” he told the outlet, and the examples seem to be endless. The crows in Dumbo jive-talk and the main crow is even named “Jim Crow.” Siamese cats are often the villains with thick Asian accents, as seen in Lady and the Tramp and The Aristocats.
Villains, Gidney hypothesizes, are painted as “not like us,” due to their accent, making differences appear to be evil.

Q:
How to copy Jenkins config files in a jenkins pipeline to Web server
I have some files.properties in Jenkins config File that I need to copy to a server during the jenkins pipeline.
pipeline code is more a less as showed, just to get an idea.
How can I add a step that copy this config file from jenkins on a destination server after las step after step DEPLOY WAR TO SERVER in pipeline like for example : "sh Scp file.properties jenkins@destinationserver:/destination/path/file.properties"
code {
stage ('Code Checkout') {
git branch: 'master',
credentialsId: 'b346fbxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
url: 'https://xxxxxxx@bitbucket.org/gr/code.git'
}
stage ('Check Branch') {
sh 'git branch'
}
stage('Compile and Build WAR') {
sh 'mvn clean compile war:war'
stage ('Deploy WAR to server') {
sh "scp .war jenkins@serverIp:/var/lib/tomcat/.war"
}
A:
This is quite easy. You need to install the Config File Provider Plugin and then you can generate the appropriate line by visiting htts://localhost/jenkins/pipeline-syntax/. From there in the dropdown you can choose configFileProvider and fill the rest of the form.
The end result will be something like this:
configFileProvider(
[configFile(fileId: 'maven-settings-or-a-UUID-to-your-config-file', variable: 'MAVEN_SETTINGS')]) {
sh 'mvn -s $MAVEN_SETTINGS clean package'

It is becoming increasingly more commonplace for electronic devices to provide wireless distribution of audio signals as improved compression techniques are becoming available that allow lower communication rates and longer playing time and as power efficiencies improve to allow increased playtime from batteries.
For example, headsets are available that can receive wireless streaming stereo audio from wireless phones, digital audio music players, and other audio source devices. Separate audio data for the left and right stereo channels can be separately transmitted by an audio source device through frames of the wireless air interface to a headset. In the headset, the audio data is decoded and provided to the speakers through associated amplifiers and cabling. |
Wireless networks are widely used today. Wireless technology provides many advantages over wired networks. However, while it is easy to prevent wired network users from joining external wired networks without permission, it is difficult to prevent unauthorized access of external wireless networks by wireless network users. More specifically, it is easy for an unauthorized wireless network user such as a child or employee to reconfigure a computer (e.g., their laptop) to join a nearby (uncontrolled) wireless network (e.g., one set up by a neighbor). By joining an external uncontrolled wireless network, a managed user such as a child or employee can easily circumvent network controls that are in place on their local network, such as a parental control system or company access restrictions.
Methodology is known that enables an agent to prevent specific computing devices (endpoints) from joining non-approved wireless networks. If the agent is provided with a list of endpoints to control, it can apply appropriate security precautions to the listed endpoints. What the known methodology lacks is the ability to easily identify such endpoints in a quick and seamless way. It would be desirable address this issue. |
Q:
UML and iPhone developmenet
Do you use UML when you develop for iPhone? or its not the same when developing in a PC and developing in Mobile?
if you do ot youse UML, what we should use??
A:
If I require data modelling and am creating an iOS or Mac application, I will typically use core data. Core data supports a WYSIWYG editor for defining models (somewhat similar to UML) and I will typically do all my modelling directly in it. It is built into XCode and is accessible by opening a .xcdatamodel file.
If for whatever reason I choose not to use core data, I will typically use OmniGraffle. It is by far the best (UML) modelling application I have ever come across.

Show HN: Scraperr – a simple subreddit image scraper - NotYourGuy

NotYourGuy
Hi guys, I made a simple image scraper for reddit as a side-project from which
I wanted to auto download new wallpapers for my laptop. It's still a WIP as I
have more ideas I'd like to implement but it is working as expected.
Feedback, tips and ideas for further improving functionalities are more than
welcome!

I have thought about using subreddit images as an image classifier for ML
training. (Like using r/food images to create an ML model that identifies
food).
This looks single threaded and probably wont scale well if you're trying to
use multiple machines to grab a year's worth of images.

Pokken Tournament: Can’t Catch ‘em All. Because Nintendo.
WASDuk's Chris Patton covers the confirmed roster of Poke-fighters and support-mon as well as how Nintendo is going to screw this all up:
"Right, because who needs patience when you can just describe the roster as a tad short so far? How do you say, “Yeah, not so many options there yet,” in Japanese? Currently, only six characters in Lucario, Blaziken, Machamp, Gardevoir, Suicune, and Pikachu have been announced. Such a mix of electric-types, psychic, fighting, fire, and others mean that no Pokemon is off-limits as a future reveal. Assist characters are also available to use. Currently, Snivy, Frogadier, Emolga, Eevee, Fennekin, and Lapras are confirmed as supports. Additionally, the game will not feature fighters from the Tekken series.
Almost immediately after Bandai Namco offered the above roster announcements, conservative commentators here in the States complained, I think with more than some justice, about a double-standard in Pokken Tournament. They asked, how come we d... |

The Shorten-led opposition has had it too good for too long.
Bill Shorten’s opposition has recently waved through a series of laws that dramatically extend the power of the executive government and its law enforcement and intelligence agencies, at the expense of citizens. Why? Out of fear of being seen as weak on national security.
Opposition to the government on its ever-more draconian counter-terrorism laws has instead come from a rough alliance of the Greens, the libertarian right and, on the citizenship issue, classical liberals within the Liberal Party who are under the illusion that the current version of their party stands for individual rights, small government and checks and balances on executive power. Labor has forfeited its role as an opposition entirely. (Of course, none of this bipartisanship has stopped Tony Abbott from relentlessly, and often effectively, arguing that Labor is soft on terrorism.)
But yesterday Shorten gave another insight into why Labor has so readily rolled over on national security. His repetition, virtually word for word, of the response of government ministers whenever they are embarrassed about revelations relating to intelligence agencies, or border protection, or any other matter that can be tenuously linked to national security — that he doesn’t comment on such matters — shows how bipartisan is the determination of the major parties to keep Australians in the dark about what the executive and its agencies do out of the public gaze.
The Shorten-led opposition has had it good for a long, long time. But now its flaws are becoming apparent: poor judgement, cowardice, an inability to communicate anything remotely nuanced, and a readiness to treat Australians with contempt when it comes to national security. |
Q:
Aliases without having to write GIt
As an example I use this command to write a git aliases.
git config --global alias.a add
Now this means that I have to write:
git a
Which is super annoying..
I was wondering if there is a way that I can apply this aliase globally so that I only have to write:
a
This will save me from writing git..
I thought that this would work but it doesn't.
git config --global alias.a git add
A:
Use a shell alias instead, like bash aliases:
alias a="git add"
If you put that in the ~/.bashrc file, you'll automatically have the alias available in every shell instance.

This invention relates to a vehicle air conditioner using liquid gas fuels to provide cooling, and, more particularly, to one which utilizes the vaporization of said liquid fuels to provide cooling to the cabin of the vehicle.
At present, use of an air conditioner to cool the cabin of the vehicle requires a substantial penalty in gas mileage and engine efficiency.
In addition, internal combustion engines are known to generate pollutants because of the incomplete burning of hydrocarbon fuels for power. A number of attempts have been made to increase the efficiency of the combustion of hydrocarbon fuel through the use of butane, propane, natural gas or hydrogen either as a fuel or in combination with gasoline.
While such materials are gaseous at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, for efficient storage such materials are generally provided in pressurized tanks in a liquid form. Prior to introduction into the combustion chamber, these materials are transitioned from the liquid state to the gaseous state. The liquid to gas transition absorbs a great quantity of heat which the present invention utilizes to provide cooling for the vehicle cabin. |
Q:
Popovercontroller go away when i try to type in UITextfield?
I have one popovercontroller, in popover controller there is one textfield.Whenever i try to type in textfield uipopovercontroller goes away upper left side.Problem is that i want popup enable while typing.
Thanks in advance
A:
What you can try is, while editing is being done on your UITextField, in your popoverControllerShouldDismissPopover: method you return NO. Example below..
- (BOOL)popoverControllerShouldDismissPopover:(UIPopoverController *)popoverController {
if([someTextField isFirstResponder])
return NO;
return YES;
}

Distal femoral fractures.
Distal femoral fractures may be treated by operative or nonoperative methods. There is no single surgical implant that can be used for all distal femoral fractures. Implant selection is determined by fracture pattern, patient age, bone density, and other injuries that the patient may have sustained. Rewarding results may be obtained with operative fracture intervention when appropriate patient and implant selection is made and the surgeon demonstrates meticulous skill and sound judgment. |
Varicocele as a progressive lesion: positive effect of varicocele repair.
Varicoceles are the leading correctable cause of infertility in men who present to an infertility clinic for evaluation. Consequently, the surgical correction of a varicocele, known as a varicocelectomy, is the most commonly performed operation for the treatment of male infertility. The current data suggest that an individual with a varicocele, even with a previously normal semen analysis or documentation of previous fertility, is at risk for subsequent loss of testicular function and infertility. Many of these patients will need to be treated because there is convincing evidence that a varicocele may have a progressive toxic effect on the testes that may ultimately result in irreversible infertility if left untreated. Identifying those individuals with varicoceles that will ultimately cause fertility impairment is still beyond our current clinical capabilities. Current investigative modalities, e.g. semen analysis, testicular measurement, serum gonadotrophin determination, gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulation test, and testis biopsy analysis, may be employed to detect early changes in testicular physiology produced by a varicocele. |
Treatment of follicular lymphoma.
Follicular lymphoma is one of the most common neoplastic lymphoproliferative diseases encountered in the western world. Intensive scientific scrutiny has led to detailed understanding of the nature of the malignant cell and the specific genetic abnormalities which are frequently encountered and likely to be etiologic. Clinical research focusing on the treatment of follicular lymphoma continues to reveal new insights into the natural history of the disease. Investigations reported during the past year have focused on a number of important issues with regard to the management of patients with the diseases. |
Q:
Clojure "is" assertion not working as expected
I am writing test cases for my first Clojure project. Here, I want the test to fail if the value of ":meat" is empty :
(deftest order-sandwich
(let [response {:meat "" :bread "yes" :add-on "lettuce"}]
(is (= (:bread response) "yes"))
(is (not (nil? (:meat response))))))
But my test runs successfully (returning "nil") .
Anybody know why this happens? Is there a better way to do this?
I thank you in advance!!
A:
An empty String is not nil:
(nil? "")
=> false
You want to test if it's empty, not nil, which can be done using seq or empty? (among other ways):
(is (not (empty? (:meat response))))
; Or use not-empty
; There's also the arguably more idiomatic way
(is (seq (:meat response)))

Guatemalan coffees are some of the most amazing fragrant and aromatic coffees in the world. The natural shade and jungle of the Guatemalan highlands are the perfect environment for the bourbon botanical variety of arabica (a spontaneous variety of the original typical), which lends itself to a very nice and very natural full cup.
Antigua is Guatemala's oldest and most famous coffee growing region. The magnificent volcanoes of Agua, Acatenango, and Fuego enclose this valley. Fuego lives up to its name (fuego means fire in Spanish) by spewing forth volcanic ash continuing to add to the rich soil of the area. Antiguan cups are nice bodies, full-on bright coffees with spice. There is a reason this region is so loved and sought out by the coffee connoisseur. |

Q:
Get ViewController from Appdelegate
I have four views in my storyboard
ViewOne
ViewTwo
ViewThree
ViewFour
In my ViewTwo, I make a call and open an new App and when the URL opening is done I call the following function in my Appdelegate
func application(app: UIApplication, openURL url: NSURL, options: [String : AnyObject]) -> Bool
What I do here is that I iterate through all my viewControllers because I want to find my ViewTwo to be able to call a segue that I have created. I want to do it this way because I don´t want to create a new instance of the viewController.
It works great with this function below to find ViewTwo:
if let viewControllers = window?.rootViewController?.childViewControllers {
for viewController in viewControllers {
if viewController.isKindOfClass(ViewTwo) {
viewController.performSegueWithIdentifier("sw", sender: self)
}
}
}
But now I have added a NavigationController to ViewTwo, ViewThree and ViewFour so when I run the snippet above I only get the following result for viewController (I made a simple print(viewController))
<ViewOne: 0x...>
<UINavigationController: 0x...>
<UINavigationController: 0x...>
<UINavigationController: 0x...>
So my question is, how do I check for ViewTwo now that I also have a NavigationController?
A:
I solved this by
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let controller = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("ViewThree") as! WebViewController
self.window?.rootViewController!.presentViewController(controller, animated: true, completion: { () -> Void in
})

Q:
Flex: Make the item center aligned if only one div is visible
I have a container with two elements inside.
I want both elements to sit on ends of the corner.
So I used display: flex with justify-content: space-between.
But if one of the element is hidden, the other element should align center rather than left align.
function showHide() {
var el = document.getElementById('firstEl'),
elStyle = el.style,
elDisplay = elStyle.display;
elStyle.display = elDisplay != 'none' ? 'none' : 'block';
}
.container {
width: 200px;
border: 1px solid gray;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
justify-content: space-between;
}
<div class="container">
<div id="firstEl" class="first-element">one</div>
<div class="secondelement">second</div>
</div>
<button onclick="showHide()">show/hide</button>
JS Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ugb3nwc0/
A:
Do not use justify-content: space-between;
Instead align them using the margin property.
margin-left:auto : right aligns a flex child item
margin-right:auto : left aligns a flex child item
function showHide() {
var el = document.getElementById('firstEl'),
elStyle = el.style,
elDisplay = elStyle.display;
elStyle.display = elDisplay != 'none' ? 'none' : 'block';
}
.container {

A dyad as photocatalyst for light-driven sulfide oxygenation with water as the unique oxygen atom source.
With the objective to convert light energy into chemical oxidation energy, a ruthenium-based dyad constituted of the assembly of a photosensitizer and a catalytic fragment was synthesized. Upon irradiation with blue LEDs, and in the presence of an electron acceptor, the complex is able to catalyze selective sulfide oxygenation involving an oxygen atom transfer from water to the substrate. Electrochemical and photophysical studies highlighted a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) to access to a high valent oxidant Ru(IV) oxo species. |
The seven elements of a payable claim.
Healthcare providers are obligated to comply with a wide range of statutory and regulatory requirements associated with the provision, documentation, coding, and billing of a medical claim. It is important to keep in mind that the viewpoint of an outside auditor is not going to be the same as that of the treating physician. For instance, when documenting medical services, the information viewed as most significant (and therefore recorded) by a treating physician may be very different from the information an outside auditor hopes to glean from a patient's record. As a result, a significant disconnect between the parties may occur. To avoid this, it is essential that a treating physician or other healthcare provider diligently work to help ensure that claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, or a private payer fully comply with all applicable coverage and payment requirements. We have developed a checklist that we refer to as "The Seven Elements of a Payable Claim" to assist providers in this effort. |
Watch Out NYC. Bloomberg is Still Offended by Your Eating Habits
Mayor Bloomberg has a knack for sticking his nose into other people’s business, something that would be annoying enough he happened to be that neighbor no one likes. Unfortunately, he is a powerful Mayor whose diktats always seem to be implemented.
Thank God Bloomberg is an out of touch billionaire who probably doesn’t do his own grocery shopping. That would definitely put more ideas in his pea-sized brain.
Oh, and if you’re wondering if Governor Cuomo might inject some common sense into the debate due to his possible presidential ambitions, fat chance. He likes Bloomberg’s approach, and why wouldn’t he? He’s a Democrat too. Freedom isn’t really their thing. |
Steam sterilizers (also called autoclaves) are used in the medical, dental, veterinarian, spa, ear-piercing and tattoo industries to sterilize the medical or dental instruments used for the patients or clients in such activities in order to prevent transfer or growth of disease organisms.
Systems for condensing the steam after it is used to sterilize such instruments may benefit from improvements. |
Patience is Virtue
by Ben ige
(Nigeria)
Patience is a Virtue
Wisdom and Patience are like man and his shadow which never separate. Even in utter darkness when shadow, which represents the wisdom seems to have gone; the man, which is symbolic of Patience only needs more patience to make Wisdom come out.
Right from the word go, Snail and Slug were siblings. Slug is just like Snail for except it doesn't have shell. And Snail too was once like this. Both of them were without shells.
At a time, the atmosphere changed and there was a constant whirlwind all over the land. Animals were retracting into their habitats; tortoise and turtles into their shells. Like other animals, slug and snail realized they too needed to have a home of their own. "A hollowrefuge in times like this is all we need." Said the snail.
"Can't we go to the creator! Who knows, we may be favoured with a kind of home..." The slug suggested.
"His throne is very far, you know. Many are seas and deserts to cross..." The snail discouraged.
"But at the end, we shall have our own shield."
"It is worth given a trial."
The two creatures set out very early the next day and in a few days, they arrived at the gate of the heaven. The angel that man the gate inquired them of their mission. Having informed, he asked them to come another time. "Return here at the next full moon. The Almighty isrelishing praises." He told them.
At the next full moon, the slug and the snail returned. At this time, they met nobody at the gate. So, they could not pass in. They had waited several days and nights before they were eventually attended to."The next new moon is your turn to make your wishes. So, come back then." They only heard a voice, they couldn't see a thing. They weremarveled and also scared. So, they quickly left.
"In few days time, we shall have a home of our own. We must leave on time..." Said the snail.
"Count me out! I'm not going again."
"Why?" Asked the snail.
"We are not going to get shell like tortoise. We are just wasting our time and strength. May be it's our fate..." The Slug has lost patience.
"But we were told our time was near. And in the new moon, we shall indeed have our own shells..."
"Go and get it for yourself. I think I'm okay like this."
Against this background, the snail went to the heaven alone. But just before she got there, she heard a voice amidst roaring wind. "Our days are not counted as yours. Nevertheless, come next moon the creatorwill be granting requests."
"You are a fool." The slug told the snail when he returned. "Think you will ever get a shell? You're wasting your time. Try to be wise, how many times have you tried for it?"
These taunts made snail feel like a failure. But despite the fact that her patience cast no shadow of wisdom, she still decided to have more patience.
Weeks later, the slug thought it right to tease the snail. "It'salmost new moon, won't you go again?"
"I will, since I've not been banned from doing so." The snail went and returned with a beautiful shell. The slug loved the snail's shell so much that she decided to try her own luck. But she returned with no shell. "You've missed your chance of getting a shell." The slug was told.
Ever since, the snail has been parading her beautiful shell while the slug, out of shame, confined herself to rivers and swampy areas. |
Stage-specific expression of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) mRNA in the rat seminiferous tubules.
We have used in situ hybridization and Northern blot analysis with oligonucleotide probe to characterize the site of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) synthesis in the rat testis. We observed strong hybridization signal in one third of the cross-sections of the seminiferous tubules, whereas some tubules were devoid of hybridization signal, thus suggesting that PACAP mRNA is expressed in a stage-specific manner. More detailed analysis showed that PACAP mRNA was present in round spermatids at stages III-VII of the cycle. Northern blot hybridization to RNAs extracted from samples of seminiferous tubules at different stages of the epithelial cycle confirmed that expression of PACAP mRNA is restricted to specific stages of the cycle. The highest amount of PACAP mRNA was detected at stages V to early -VII of the cycle, whereas very low levels of mRNA were present at stages I-II and IX-XIV. The present results demonstrate that PACAP mRNA is expressed in the developing germ cells. This suggests that PACAP may function as a paracrine or autocrine regulatory factor for the Sertoli and germ cells, with a specific function during early spermiogenesis, shortly before the onset of nuclear elongation, at the last period of haploid gene activity. |
Q:
Why is the first ionisation energy of a sodium cation bigger than that of a neon atom?
I understand that the 1st ionization energy gets bigger for elements along a period from left to right and along a group from down to up.
But why is the 1st ionization energy of $\ce{Na+}$ bigger than $\ce{Ne}$?
I would have guessed the opposite.
A:
A sodium cation $\ce{Na+}$ and a neutral neon atom $\ce{Ne}$ are isoelectronic species; meaning they have the same number of electrons and also the same electronic configurations.
Yet, the two have different nuclei: most prominently, sodium always has an additional proton when compared to neon. Therefore, only one of the isoelectronic species (neon) is neutral, the other is positively charged.
It may now become obvious why the ionisation enthalpy of $\ce{Na+}$ is much larger than that of neon. Different ways to express this all boil down to the fact that it is harder to remove a negatively charged electron from a positively charged species than it is to remove one from a neutral species.

Movies: Philomena Update
Without revealing my source, I feel compelled to share with you some clarifying information I received in an e-mail following publication of my Movie post and write-up of Philomena. The author wanted me to take note of the following:
Roscrea was not a Magdalene laundry; it was a Mother and Baby home. The two were basically the same except that M&B homes were ostensibly where girls went voluntarily (although consent is hard to judge in that type of culture, and young women were frequently brought there without realizing what they were getting into) for a first time pregnancy, whereas Magdalene laundries were used to separate out ‘repeat offenders’ (although falling pregnant outside of marriage was in fact never a crime). It was argued (by state and the religious) that the Magdalenes were beyond recovery and would ‘contaminate’ the more innocent first time offender. The archives are full of that type of language.
Both convents ran laundries in which the women were expected to work to earn the cost of their accommodation. Survivors argue that the laundries were sustaining the whole convent in most cases, not just covering the women’s own keep, that the religious community was using the women as little more than slave labor.
A woman would eventually leave an M&B home (once the nuns had sold her child) but Magdalenes found themselves incarcerated for years, some of them for the rest of their lives, deemed unreformed and not fit for society. They had not committed a crime therefore they had not received a sentence therefore they had no specific release date.
Both types of institution were part of the same network, but with important distinctions.
The religious have been very slow to open their archives so the fate of many thousands of women is not yet clear, which is why it’s important to gather the oral histories of survivors, while they are still alive.
I read the story before I approved your comment, ETB. I bet a lot of people are aware of similar stories. I am aware of two, both parents searching for children whom they found had died. It would be interesting to have some sort of forum on the privacy of adoption records. I suspect there are sad stories on both sides and more than one idea about whose needs should be paramount.

Q:
Android preferences: get all set values when keys are unknow
Can someone tell me please how can I get all string set values from a preference file, I saved in this file just set lists?
Set<String> set = new HashSet<String>();
set.add("value1");
set.add("value2");
set.add("value3");
editor.putStringSet("key", set);
The problem I don't know which key will be chosen to save. Is this possible to read all available set lists without knowing the keys?
A:
You can use something like this.
Map<String, ?> keys = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this).getAll();
for (Map.Entry<String, ?> entry : keys.entrySet()) {
if (entry.getValue() instanceof Set) {
Log.e("Set values", entry.getKey() + ": " +
entry.getValue().toString());
}
}
Although am not sure why would you want to do that? Because you should set the data with some specific keys, so that you can fetch the same at a later time. What do you mean by I don't know which key will be chosen to save?

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for automatically doffing and donning take-up packages from a winder. The particular disclosure of this application is that of a textile winder which is used to wind yarn onto take-up packages suitable for further processing. However, the disclosure of this application can be utilized in other fields and for this reason relates broadly to strand processing.
At one time the textile winding process was a relatively simple one. Empty take-up packages were manually loaded onto each take-up station of a winder. The winder was manually activated to begin the winding process and when the take-up packages were full they were manually removed from the winder and empty take-up packages substituted in their place. However, the necessity of automating the winding process was recognized and, as with most other textile processes, the winding process was automated to the extent possible by providing means for automatically doffing and/or donning take-up packages in order to reduce the amount of labor necessary to operate the machines and decrease doffing time.
Therefore, what at one time was a relatively simple but labor-intensive manual procedure has become a relatively complicated automatic procedure. In the design of any automatic doffing and donning system, a number of design criteria should be considered and met in order to have a functionally sufficient system. First, the full take-up package must be moved relatively quickly and without damage to newly-wound yarn. The empty take-up package must be donned securely on each cycle. The cut yarn must be securely held while the doffing and donning process takes place and then securely attached to the empty take-up package before winding begins. While the yarn is being held care must be taken to make sure that the yarn does not come slack before it becomes attached to the new take-up package. Slack yarn can cause the yarn to break or pull loose from the take-up package when winding begins or snag on the chuck or other machine parts.
An automated doffing and donning system must also have a sensing mechanism which senses an improperly donned package or the absence of an empty supply package in the magazine. Such a system should also permit individual positions to be locked out of operation when less than a full machine is being operated.
It is most important to maintain positive control of the take-up package at all points during the doffing and donning process. As a practical matter, this means that the package should not be dropped by or rolled from the chuck into a conveyor or other discharge mechanism. Preferably, the full take-up package should be disengaged from the chuck directly onto the conveyor or other discharge means without intermediate handling of the package. This avoids needless complication in the mechanism.
In addition, the use of certain types of components in the doffing and donning mechanism should be minimized. Air cylinders, complicated electrical relays and the like require frequent and sensitive adjustment and are subject to sticking because of environmental contaminants. To the maximum extent possible cams, gears, and other mechanical or electro-mechanical devices should be relied upon because of their durability and ease of adjustment. In addition, the movement of the yoke between the winding, doffing and donning positions should be as simple as possible and should cover no more distance than is absolutely necessary. Reducing the distance between these various points in the winding mechanism reduces the possibility of tangles in the yarn and loss of control of the relatively heavy, full take-up package.
Prior art devices have attempted with varying degrees of success to meet the requirements of some of the abovestated criteria. Often, however, one or more of these problems have been solved only at the expense of creating other problems or, at the very least, increasing the mechanical complexity and hence, cost of the machine. |
Lossless data compression enables reconstruction of all of the original data from a compressed form of the data. During initial data compression, application of a reversible transform typically rearranges the original data into transformed data, and subsequent application of a compression algorithm compresses the transformed data to provide the compressed form of the data.
During data reconstruction, application of a decompression algorithm un-compresses the compressed form of the data to provide the transformed data. Next, application of the reversible transform (i.e., an inverse transform process) rearranges the transformed data back into the original data.
The Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT) is an example of a reversible transform which has been successfully applied as a first stage for compression of a data file (e.g., as a front-end to a bzip2 compression process). Along these lines, the file type extension (e.g., .txt, .utx, .jpg, etc.) initially identifies certain characteristics of the contents of the data file such as the true bit-length of the data contained within the data file (i.e., the actual bit-length of the characters/symbols/pixels/etc. within the data file). Once the true bit-length is known, the contents of the data file are correctly parsed into sequence based on the true bit-length for proper data transformation and compression. A description of the BWT is provided in a publication entitled “A Block-sorting Lossless Data Compression Algorithm” by M. Burrows and D. J. Wheeler, the teachings of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. |

Does he say anything?
We watch the kid’s father from the front door.
He’s my father, says the kid.
Well yeah, but so that means he doesn’t?
The kid at some point has tied the older man to a chair. And left him in the corner of the store. There wasn’t much to do for him now.
He’s kinda messed up.
So is yours, the kid says. You said.
I can’t make out this kid. He’s deferential to the point of characterlessness. He could be a cardboard cut of some teen pop sensation.
Yeah, I did, I say. She talks though. Your guy, he’s like you. Not very many words.
We watch the old man make his slow movements. The kid didn’t really tie him up well, just wrapped a sheet around his body and the chair back, and secured it with a knot. The man rolls his hands and shifts his feet.
I love him very much, says the boy.
And who wouldn’t, right? A mottled old man starting to stink, eyes full of catarrh, and sallow skin hanging in folds from his face. Messed up.
Would you say he’s dead? I ask. Because mine, she’s young and she doesn’t move at all. If you couldn’t hear her, you’d say she’s dead.
Young? he says.
Yeah, like twenty or something, I say.
Then I have to duck.
Like this:
“Hi, hello,” I say. “Anyone home?”
The small space is crowded with crowded shelves. Plucking bottled water from one puts my back against another. No one squeezes in behind the counter to take my money.
I gasp to a halt drinking off half the bottle of tangy neon water to wipe my lips and call out hello again.
Then I drink again.
“Yo ren ma?”
Biologically speaking, a large drink of water doesn’t spread out from your stomach that fast, but that’s exactly what it feels like. I blink more easily, my shoulders loosen. It was goddamned cold and made me cough, but I do feel better. I recap the empty bottle and consider my options.
The large front windows are obscured by posters on the glass outside and shelving against the walls inside. This leaves most of the store in darkness.
“I’d like to pay now.”
How to choose with this wide a range of nearly nothing – oily snacks, spongy potato chips, desiccated noodles, ranks of sauces in jars, bags of salt, varieties of snacks little different from cubes of sticky sugar. There has to be something. Maybe I can find a light switch.
“Holy crap!”
“Hello,” says the boy. “Where are you come from?”
“Me?” I square up to this silhouette in the door. “Back that way.” I points.
“Oh,” he says.
A young man, taller than me. Like a reed. Wide across the shoulders but not deep. Plenty of sports at college.
“We can go now,” he says.
“How’s that?” I say.
“Don’t worry about it,” he says.
“Okay. I just need a few things.”
And this is entirely weird because people don’t touch me around here, but that’s when he steps forward and takes my arm. |
Antidepressants and pain.
Tricyclic antidepressants, together with anticonvulsants, are considered to be first-line drugs for the treatment of neuropathic pain. Antidepressants are analgesic in patients with chronic pain and no concomitant depression, indicating that the analgesic and antidepressant effects occur independently. The analgesia induced by these drugs seems to be centrally mediated but consistent evidence also indicates a peripheral site of action. Several pharmacological mechanisms account for their antinociceptive effect but the inhibition of monoamine transporters (and, consequently, the facilitation of descending inhibition pain systems) is implicated on the basis of mechanistic and knockout-mouse studies. However, pain is a common symptom of depression, and depression is frequent in chronic pain patients, supporting the hypothesis that pain and depression share some common biochemical mechanisms. We suggest that antidepressants have a genuine analgesic effect and that research into their mechanisms of action will help to facilitate the development of new drugs. |
I am interested in building robots and related systems that are cost-effective in today's marketplace. It is clear that sensing and cognition have a long way to go before an autonomous system can match the ability of even a small child. Yet, it is also clear that autonomous systems have a place in our world now if they can compete with humans because they are better, faster, cheaper, safer or even more entertaining. Some recent areas of interest include:
Off-Road Mobility
The goal of this work is to improve the performance and reliability of vehicles that drive themselves "in the rough" - outdoors, off the road. I am interested in the systems aspects of constructing a high-performance autonomous vehicle and particularly in the perception, planning, and control software. Ideally, I'd like to build a software system that runs on a single processor that automates any vehicle when appropriate control systems are added. In particular, I am now working on fast stereo algorithms that exploit the constraints of most off-road environments in order to generate near frame-rate stereo vision on a standard personal computer platform.
Position Estimation for Structured Environments
It has long been the practice in industrial automation to make up for lack of intelligence with repeatable positioning and/or knowledge of environmental structure. While such teach-playback techniques have become standard for manipulators, the lack of repeatability of mobile robot positioning systems has made it difficult to simply teach a vehicle a trajectory and have it follow that trajectory repeatably enough to function effectively.
I am working on a system to compute repeatable vehicle positions from image mosaics constructed from factory floors. The basic idea is that the markings on the floor over a sufficiently large area are or can be made unique enough to unambiguously locate the vehicle. This approach is superior to competitive landmark based systems and all dead reckoning systems because the repeatability is bounded by the footprint area of a single image pixel - which can be made arbitrarily small. Coincidentally, the image processing involved is a 2D analog of the Global Positioning Satellite navigation system (GPS).
Visual Servoing of Implements on Moving Vehicles
A baseball player who catches a ball while running solves a complex problem of coordinated perception and control. Based on a 2D image and only rough position feedback, the player simultaneously tracks the 3D position of a moving object relative to a moving observer and coordinates many degrees of freedom of manipulation to execute a capture trajectory.
I am working on a vision and control system to enable a fork truck to autonomously unload trailers and rail cars in the auto industry. The challenge is to robustly identify the containers to be loaded, compute their 3D positions, and servo both the vehicle and forks to acquire one load at a time - all while moving at high speed.
Additional Interests
My research centers around all aspects of mobile robots including the areas of perception, planning, control, and state estimation. I am also interested in problems that arise in sensing and calibration, and in visualization, modelling, and human interfaces for mobile robots. |

Q:
Are secret query strings a reasonable way to limit access and hide content to a non-secure site?
So I'll say right up front, obviously I know this is not actually secure, don't beat me up over that. I'm just interested in the question from a lazyness standpoint.
I have a website that has some information that I'd like to "hide" from the general public. Nothing important or vulnerable; I just don't really want people to find it and mess with it. I've already got a robots.txt file disallowing all crawling. There are no links on the page (or will be no links from other sites to this one).
The setup
example.com takes you to a "You are not allowed access" page, while example.com?real=fun actually gets you the content. PHP will not actually run the page unless the query key/value pair is correct. So is it reasonable for me to assume that no one will find this page by accident, and on the offchance they do, that they won't be able to get into the content?
Yes, I'm lazy, but I'd still like to know.
• edit •
I'm not looking for "how to do this". I've already done it. The correct answer would address if there are other basic ways for a person to get into the page which uses this technique.
A:
It'd certainly be a better way of "hiding" something than putting on a password. A password protected site obviously implies there's something hiding behind the fence, while the secret query string essentially gives away nothing.
On the other hand, if the secret string leaks, then your security system is torpedoed. I'd suggest doubling-down and triggering a regular login page if the secret query is provided. Then you can work away without having to keep the query string in view in the URL (and wouldn't show up in other sites' referer logs if you link to anything external).
This way you get the security of a required login, with the extra security of not even having obvious in-your-face "there is secured content here".

Sebastiaan.
Sebastiaan (Van Den Brandeler) Stobart kept in touch with nine-year-old Leila Paris after meeting her in Egypt.
She has recently undergone brain surgery at St Thomas’ Hospital in London after last year being diagnosed with dystonia, a neurological condition that causes muscle spasms.
Sebastiaan’s dad David explained: “Sebastiaan went with his sister and mum to visit Leila.
“Everyone was moved by the strength and courage shown by not just Leila but also her parents and little brother Finley.
“He asked his mum what he could do to try and help her.
“Sebastiaan has his own challenges.
“He has ADHD and dyspraxia, so suggesting such was very special.”
Last year, Sebastiaan’s sister climbed Helvellyn in the Lake District with their dad, so he decided he would do the same to help raise funds towards a holiday for Leila and her family.
Sebastiaan asked his dad: “I know I couldn’t manage it last year as I kept falling over, but maybe if I try really hard I could climb Helvellyn with your help.
“Could I do that for Leila and raise money to help her go to Disney World?”
David said: “This alone would be a challenge for any ten-year-old, but the side effects of Sebastian’s condition make for constant imbalance and lack of coordinated footing.
“This truly will be a massive challenge for this young chap as he trips and falls often, banging his shins and knees on the rocky trail.
“We have been staggered by his enthusiasm to do this for Leila – he hasn’t even been to Disney himself. Seb has also donated the contents of his piggy bank.” |
Immigration Minister Jason Kenney says the Conservative government wants to give Ottawa the power to revoke citizenship from Canadians who go abroad to commit terrorism or acts of war against this country.
His comments come a day after Ottawa confirmed that a Canadian dual national based in Lebanon has been linked to the bombing of a bus filled with Israeli tourists in Bulgaria last year.
Mr. Kenney said he thinks Canadians back the move even though they support allowing people to hold citizenships from countries other than Canada.
“I think where we might want to make a distinction is among those dual citizens who have completely rejected any sense of loyalty to Canada and gone out and committed … acts of war against Canada.”
This bill would bring Canada in line with other countries such as Australia and the United States who already have similar policies in place.
While technically this is true, the United States only tends to denaturalize for blatant immigration fraud. Some ex-Nazis have been denaturalized, but terrorists and terrorist affiliated persons have rarely been denautralized.The procedure is difficult and complicated.
Lieberman's Terrorist Expatriation Act would have added "joining a foreign terrorist organization or engaging in or supporting hostilities against the United States" to the list of reasons for denaturalization, but the left and the libertarian right threw their predictably hissy fits and the bill went nowhere. Those same people also throw hissy fits when a terrorist with US citizenship gets killed on the battlefield, so it's a no-win scenario with them. |
The present invention relates generally to the field of database data analytics and more particularly to determining statistically similar related data in a structured dataset pool.
Data analytics focuses on searching data files to discover business insights. When target data (core data) and specified target field(s) are selected for data mining and analysis there may be additional relevant information in other related datasets beyond the target data dataset.
Analyzing datasets for relevant data of interest can be a manual effort of investigating each possible related dataset for relevancy by comparing each data with the core data and joining them together as a single source for the subsequent data analysis. With massive datasets, data information is stored in various sources and the ability to discover relevant target data with other datasets becomes complex as the quantity of data sources and/or datasets increases. |
Q:
Get textbox value through button in popup
I am a newbie to chrome-extension/java script development and I am stuck at the following exercise.
I created a popup with a button and a textbox. I wanted to pass the textbox value to an alert when the submit button is pressed. I have the following code so far:
popup.html
<div id="popup"></div>
<form name="q">
<input name="query" id="userQuery" type="text" />
<button id="button1">Submit</button>
<!-- <input type="button" name="button" value="query" /> -->
</form>
popup.js
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
console.log(document.getElementById('userQuery'));
document.getElementById('button1').addEventListener('click', myAlert(document.getElementById('userQuery')));
});
function myAlert(query){
alert(query.value)
}
However, I get "null" as query.value so the alert comes empty.
I also noticed that when the extension is clicked for the popup, I get an alert as well, which I don't understand why, I used both 'click' and 'onclick' but I get the same issue.
Any hint or help will be much appreciated!
A:
One way to do it:
document.getElementById('button1').addEventListener('click', function() { myAlert(document.getElementById('userQuery')); });
In your code, the expression myAlert(document.getElementById('userQuery')) is evaluated when addEventListener is called. That's why you see a blank alert when the page loads. Instead you need to pass a function, that will be executed when the click event happens.

Quality approach to records and information management in the South Western Region.
A few months before the introduction of "Working for Patients" the South Western Regional Health Authority published a document called 'Better Patient Care' which outlined the need to focus the plethora of unco-ordinated national directives on such matters as medical audit, internal markets and resource management into a coherent practical approach to the provision of patient care in the Region. The advent of the White Paper was therefore not such a cultural shock to us. 'Better Patient Care' recognised that a major requirement for practical success was good information which should provide timely, concise, accurate and well presented information about the quality and utilisation of resources. It also acknowledged that a major consideration in defining information requirements was that they should be extracted from the data collected for operational needs and from operational systems. The need for relevant training for all staff engaged in the records and information fields was also emphasised. |
Q:
What is the difference between Android and Androidx Packages in Android Studio?
I am new in mobile development using Java and Kotlin, I had an application in Java which I needed to start in a new project.
When creating a new project in Android Studio, I checked Use androidx.* artifacts. After coping some dependencies from my old project, I had too many errors which I fixed by going to Refactor => Migrate to AndroidX
Now I want to now what is the difference between android and androidx packages.
Thanks in advance.
A:
Android has been building up APIs that are backward compatable and has a lot of Android Support libraries that exist in developer APIs. To clean up this mess,Android introduced androidx libraries. AndroidX is a major improvement to the original Android Support Library. Like the Support Library, AndroidX ships separately from the Android OS and provides backwards-compatibility across Android releases. AndroidX fully replaces the Support Library by providing feature parity and new libraries

Q:
Connect two labels to one outlet
Now I understand that this question has been asked before, but the answers were unsatisfactory. My issue is that I have a view controller with a view and stuff in it including a label. I added a bunch of code for it and now I'm expanding on it. I now have an issue where I've decided to add another UIView to my interface and it has a label and that label is going to function EXACTLY like a label I have in my first UIView. My problem is that I don't want to have to go in my view controller method and add another line of code each time I manipulate that first label. Is there anyway I can link another label to my initial IBOutlet I have set for my first label? Or do I have to go in my code and add an extra line of code everytime I manipulate that first label?
A:
It depends on what you want to do to that label. If you're looking to change some of the attributes of the label in the same way (e.g., font, text colour, alignment) then you can put both labels in an IBOutletCollection and iterate over the collection in your view controller.
If you want to have different data in the label, but other attributes the same, then you'll need a separate IBOutlet for that label.
You can combine the two techniques as well. e.g.
(interface)
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *firstName;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *lastName;
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutletCollection(UILabel) NSArray *labels;
(implementation)
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
for (UILabel *aLabel in self.labels) {
// Set all label in the outlet collection to have center aligned text.
[aLabel setTextAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
}
[self.firstName setText:@"First Name"];
[self.lastName setText:@"Last Name"];
}
A:
Basically the simple answer is no. Whether you use outlets or an outlet collection or tags or whatever, you ultimately have one reference in your code to one label in your interface, and another reference in your code to another reference in your interface. You can compress your mode of expression so as to cycle readily through those references (as suggested in a different answer), but the basic fact is inescapable that, ultimately, the only way to "talk to" a label is through the one reference that points to that label and to that label alone.
The only way of getting around that is not to use direct references at all. For example, a single message can be sent to multiple recipients by using an NSNotification. So you could have two instances of some UILabel subclass of your own, and "shout" to both instances simultaneously by posting a notification from your view controller - the notification is then automatically passed on to both labels, because you have arranged beforehand for them to register for it.
Similarly, another alternative is that you could use key-value observing so that a change in your view controller is automatically propagated to both labels automatically because they "observe" the change, meaning they are sent notifications - really just an inverted form of NSNotification. (If this were Mac OS X, you could make a simpler, safer version of this arrangement by using "bindings".)
However, I really cannot actually recommend that approach. The truth is that we still live in an excruciatingly primitive world of text-based programming, one line at a time, one command at a time, one reference at a time, and we must just bite the bullet and get on with it.

Q:
How to raise own error when one argument is missing?
Hi I'm pretty new to Python and I've just started to learn about errors and exceptions.I have this function in a class that inserts a line at a given index called num.I know python will raise an error if no num is given but I want to raise my own error.How do I do that?This is what I tried. But the error raised is still the default error?
def insertNum(self, num, line):
if num== None:
raise Exception("Num not specified.")
else:
self.list.insert(num, line)
return self.list
A:
You can use try...except statement.
def insertNum(num, line):
try:
list.insert(num, line)
return list
except:
print('custom error')

Q:
Strategies for using a code metric evaluation tool
Should code quality metric evaluation tools like Sonar be integrated with IDE for running local analysis or should they be a part of the build process (like integrated with maven) for continuous inspection or should it be a combination of both? How can we leverage the power of such tools to the maximum extent possible?
A:
I would say that it should be used in both places, if possible. Ideally, your analysis tool would catch most of the code problems on a developer's workstation when the developer runs it locally and keep the code in source control cleaner. And having it run nightly in a batch would find any problems that do get checked in, and they can be focal points of the next code review - assuming that code that is flagged as problematic but still gets checked in is more complex to resolve and should be discussed before changing it from what works to what meets standards.

One of the founders of the #MeToo movement, which pledged to root out sexual harassment and sexual violence in the entertainment and media industries and bring perpetrators to swift and decisive justice, is making an exception for former Vice President Joe Biden, recently the subject of a sexual assault allegation.
Tarana Burke, who is widely recognized as the primary activist behind #MeToo — and widely celebrated as the “brave” woman who empowered women in the entertainment industry to finally address widespread sexual harassment and violence — said on social media that, while every woman deserves to be heard and acknowledged when making claims of sexual violence, the situation with Biden is different.
“My stance has never wavered: survivors have a right to speak their truth and to be given the space to heal,” she began, reaffirming the stance of the #MeToo movement.
She then admits, though, an “inconvenient” truth: she’s behind Biden.
“The inconvenient truth is that this story is impacting us differently because it hits at the heart of one of the most important elections of our lifetime. And I hate to disappoint you but I don’t really have easy answers,” she said, clearly struggling with the idea that she might have to condemn someone she’s supporting for higher office.
Burke then kind of implies that Biden’s accuser, a former aide named Tara Reade, may not be as believable as other women she’s stressed should be believed.
“There are no perfect survivors,” she says. “And no one, especially a presidential candidate, is beyond reproach. So where does that leave us?”
That’s when the real pretzel logic begins.
“On the one hand, Tara Reade has been afforded the opportunity to speak her truth through mainstream media reporting on her claims and ongoing investigative journalism,” Burke says, clearly referring to only a handful of stories which have largely discounted Reade’s allegations. “She should have been able to come forward in a process where she was treated fairly, in a trusted system. Instead, like other public survivors before her, she had to rely on journalists in order to be heard – precisely because the systems for survivors are not in place.”
“On the other hand,” Burke adds, “the defense of Joe Biden shouldn’t rest on whether or not he’s a ‘good guy’ or ‘our only hope.”
She then offers Biden a way out: “Instead, he could demonstrate what it looks like to be both accountable and electable.”
In other words, the movement Burke lead, to remove sexual predators from positions of power, only applies when those men are unsavory characters in particular industries. In cases where alleged sexual predators may rise to positions of power that ultimately benefit progressive activists, it’s possible to promote those same alleged sexual predators, albeit with reservations.
So how does Biden demonstrate that he is “both accountable and electable?” Burke says he simply needs to admit some fault — even if it’s not specific fault. He can simply say that he’s been more comfortable with women than is socially acceptable, giving him the opportunity to maintain his innocence, while acknowledging that claims may arise regarding his behavior.
“Meaning, at minimum, acknowledging that his demonstrated learning curve around boundaries with women, at the very least, left him open to the plausibility of these claims,” Burke says. “No matter what you believe, we are allowed to expect more of the person running for U.S. President.”
Burke, of course, was far less forgiving when it came to other men in power, including convicted sexual predator Harvey Weinstein, and then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, whom Burke actively campaigned againt.
“When Dr. Christine Blasey Ford was defending herself to Congress after alleging that then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh had assaulted her in the early 1980s, many members of the Me Too movement stood behind Ford and offered full-throated support,” the Huffington Post reported, adding that Burke herself wrote a supportive letter to Ford, calling her a hero for opposing “the patriarchy with no weapons other than her voice, her body, and the truth.” |
Small-signal neural models and their applications.
This paper introduces the use of the concept of small-signal analysis, commonly used in circuit design, for understanding neural models. We show that neural models, varying in complexity from Hodgkin-Huxley to integrate and fire have similar small-signal models when their corresponding differential equations are close to the same bifurcation with respect to input current. Three applications of small-signal neural models are shown. First, some of the properties of cortical neurons described by Izhikevich are explained intuitively through small-signal analysis. Second, we use small-signal models for deriving parameters for a simple neural model (such as resonate and fire) from a more complicated but biophysically relevant one like Morris-Lecar. We show similarity in the subthreshold behavior of the simple and complicated model when they are close to a Hopf bifurcation and a saddle-node bifurcation. Hence, this is useful to correctly tune simple neural models for large-scale cortical simulations. Finaly, the biasing regime of a silicon ion channel is derived by comparing its small-signal model with a Hodgkin-Huxley-type model. |

Q:
Change number of segments according the arraycount?
I have seen many Questions and still i didn't get exact response I need. Is it possible to change the number of segments in UISegmented control based on array count. When I tried it is showing error:"assigning to readonly property".
A:
Did you try that:
- (void)setSegments:(NSArray *)segments {
[segmentController removeAllSegments];
for (NSString *segment in segments) {
[segmentController insertSegmentWithTitle:segment atIndex:segmentController.numberOfSegments animated:NO];
}

To investigate the relationship of weight change to change in body composition in the Framingham Heart Study cohort, we entered into an agreement with the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging and researchers at Harvard School of Medicine and Boston University School of Medicine to obtain body composition measurements with dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) for muscle, bone and body fat as well as to obtain reasons for weight change. Data collection of repeat body composition measurements is complete. NIA has had a major interest in frailty, both in terms of epidemiology and in terms of intervention studies. In addition, there is currently interest in trophic factors which may promote conservation of muscle in particular and aid in rehabilitation of frail older persons. This study allowed examination of body composition and mediators of weight loss in a major longitudinal study of now very old persons in which there has been assessment of weight, weight related risk factors, and many of the chronic diseases of importance in old age including heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, pulmonary disease, and cancer, as well as indicators of inflammation. From this viewpoint, it would allow broadening of the perspective not only on frailty, but the interaction of frailty with comorbidity. Dr. Helaine Payette, working with Dr. Roubenoff, examined the relationship of the cytokine and other biologic data to risk of body composition change. With Dr. Roubenoff, we have conducted analysis of data with longitudinal outcomes proceeding, for example, cytokines and mortality. In addition, faculty at Boston University School of Medicine have used the cytokine measurements to predict onset of congestive heart failure. We continue to use these data and will look at this in relation to patterns of mortality. |
Anesthetic management of labor in a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries.
Laboring patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries present an interesting challenge to anesthesiologists because of the physiological changes that take place during pregnancy and the stress induced by labor. This paper describes the detailed management of a symptomatic parturient with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries. The patient was managed with epidural analgesia instituted early in labor with a continuous low-concentration infusion of local anesthetic and opioid but without an initial bolus. She underwent uneventful forceps-assisted vaginal delivery. |
David Lammy’s revelation about Oxbridge’s “apartheid” raises many pertinent issues, but yet fundamentally misses the point. As a current third-year student at Keble College of ethnic minority and state school background, I would argue that while the statistics presented are shocking, Oxford is not solely to blame.
Statistics are the basis of Lammy’s argument but he often approaches them in the wrong way. “There are more offers made to students from one school – Eton – than students on free school meals across the whole country,” he says. However, the issue is not about how many students from Eton are at Oxford, it’s about how many students from Eton applied to go to Oxford; it’s not about how many students from ethnic minority backgrounds are at Oxford, it’s about how many of these students applied.
In fact, the problem that Lammy highlights can be traced to our education system and the failings of government. That those from low-income backgrounds are not being given the chance to reach top universities is not solely the fault of the universities (although more needs to be done); it is the fault, too, of government, which is not giving students the chance they deserve to attend a university – selection for which should be purely based on merit. After all, during the admissions process, you are told consistently how little anything but academic success matters.
In many ways, the strength of universities such as Oxford and Cambridge is that above everything else, they value academic achievement. Surely, then, this should encourage diversity – because it is fundamentally not the case that all clever students attended private school in the south of England. This is a point Lammy has raised, offering statistics concerning high-achieving students across the many under-represented areas in the country in comparison to Oxbridge offers. However, we are not told how many of these high-achieving students applied.
The problem with access comes well before the admissions process. It starts with the idea that somewhere elitist such as Oxford would never be the place for someone like you – an idea constantly fed to those from state school backgrounds, while private school students are told they are entitled to that coveted university spot.
Comprehensive schools often perpetuate this system by failing to encourage bright students to strive for places at high-achieving universities. The government should be educating teachers in identifying and encouraging students who show potential, offering them advice on admissions and telling them that they can make it to Oxbridge if they work hard.
Oxford colleges, in their own way, are attempting to change this. Keble College’s access and outreach programme, Keble at Large, is a student-run society that gives tours and Q&A sessions to target schools with little or no history of successful Oxbridge applications. The aim is to demystify the Oxford experience and show students that there are other people like them here.
Some of the suggestions Lammy makes for ways in which Oxford could change are inspiring. If Oxford were to write to students with high grades encouraging them to apply, it would surely make a huge difference. Similarly, centralised admissions, rather than college-based admissions, would ensure diversity across the university. These are essential actions, but will only work in addition to systemic changes in how the schooling system works. We need to be building up bright young people across the country, encouraging them to apply to Oxbridge and then equipping them for the admissions process by teaching them how it works, in the same way as private school students are tutored and prepared. When they reach this point, it is the role of Oxford and Cambridge to offer a non-biased opportunity for everyone – but they can only do this if they have enough students applying.
At the heart of all of this is the paradoxical fact that an article such as Lammy’s will only serve to further alienate a proportion of the population who already doubted their ability to be accepted. The negative press surrounding Oxbridge is only going to perpetuate the negative aspects of the place. It’s time we constructed a new narrative based on students who, despite the injustices of the system (this country’s system, not the university’s system), have managed to succeed.

Multimodality imaging of usual and unusual sites of metastasis which occur after definitive therapy for rectal cancer.
Rectal cancer is a common malignancy encountered largely after the fifth decade of life. Due to the recent advances in cancer therapy, which include chemoradiation therapy pre- and postoperatively, survival has improved. Radiologist has become an integral part of the patient management team to diagnose and localize the area of recurrent rectal cancer. Although typical pathways of rectal cancer spread have been described, recurrence may occur in unexpected locations due to the currently available aggressive therapy being able to control local disease. Imaging surveillance should include careful evaluation of expected and unexpected anatomic sites where tumor may recur. This paper will describe the common and uncommon locations of recurrent rectal cancer. |
Psychotherapy for borderline personality disorder.
This paper aims to provide a succinct overview of the factors common to empirically validated psychotherapies for borderline personality disorder (BPD), including the treatment structure required. Individual psychotherapy remains the cornerstone of treatment for BPD. Factors common to empirically validated modalities of therapeutic treatment have been identified. These need to be provided within an individualised and structured treatment framework. Improved outcome of treatment for BPD can then be achieved. |

Known container-treatment devices include rotating machines with processing positions on a periphery thereof. In these machines, container treatment involves applying treatment medium while the containers are moving. This requires some kind of rotary joint to bring treatment media from a stationary reference frame into a rotating reference frame.
A typical rotary joint has one stationary part and one rotating part. There are also flow channels for both media. These are sealed from each other and from the exterior by mechanical seals that extend through both parts of the rotary joint.
To suppress entry of bacteria or other contaminants into these flow paths, it is usual to provide barrier spaces between the joint's two parts and to fill these barrier spaces with a barrier medium that differs from the treatment medium. The barrier medium is often a hot vapor.
The need to use a barrier medium is a disadvantage. First, it is one more consumable to supply and pay for. Second, it creates the need for a complex design that prone to failure. Additionally, its pressure must be monitored constantly to detect leakage.
To make matters worse, the barrier medium is usually heated. This heat stresses the various seals, thus reducing their service life. |
Q:
Where Mongol herds graze
One of us – largest outside polar regions;
another one's island's shared with Indonesians;
a third one is found at the edge of the first,
a break from the dryness to quench people's thirst.
One of us separates Swedes from the Finns;
one – lake with skiing, casinos and inns;
one's a dry place near where Mongol herds graze;
one flows where born was a writer of plays.
What do we have in common?
A:
The poem is about
geographical places with 'duplicate' names. Thanks @OmegaKrypton, @Evergalo and @AHKieran for some of the answers/hints.
One of us – largest outside polar regions;
Sahara desert - 'sahra' means 'desert' in an Arabian dialect. (found by @AHKieran)
another one's island's shared with Indonesians;
East Timor - 'timur' is Malayan for 'east'. (found by @Evargalo)
a third one is found at the edge of the first,
a break from the dryness to quench people's thirst.
Lake Chad - 'chad' means 'large expanse of water' in a local language. It lies on the edge of the Sahara (see first line) and it's freshwater so it's drinkable. (found by @Evargalo)
One of us separates Swedes from the Finns;
Gulf of Bothnia - 'botn' is Old Norse for 'gulf'.
one – lake with skiing, casinos and inns;
Lake Tahoe - 'tahoe' is Washo for 'the lake'. (pattern found by @OmegaKrypton)
one's a dry place near where Mongol herds graze;
Gobi desert - 'gobi' is Mongolian for 'waterless place'. (found by @OmegaKrypton)
one flows where born was a writer of plays.
Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon - 'afon' is Welsh for 'river'. (pattern found by @OmegaKrypton)
A:
@Glorfindel has found the answer and explicited the second stanza, here is an explanation for the first one:
One of us – largest outside polar regions;
@AHKieran pointed out in a comment that this must be Sahara Desert, where "Sahara" means desert in Arabic.
Another one's island's shared with Indonesians;
Timor Island is shared between Indonesia and East Timor. But Timor/Timur also means 'East' in Indonesian. So this matches the tautological name pattern noticed by Glorfindel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Timor
a third one is found at the edge of the first,
Then this will be Lake Chad. From wiki, The name Chad is a local word meaning "large expanse of water", in other words, a "lake".
a break from the dryness to quench people's thirst.
Al-Ahsa Oasis in Saudi Arabia is the biggest oasis in the world. In Classical Arabic, 'Ahsa' means the sound of water underground.
A:
Partial Answer
One of us separates Swedes from the Finns;
Tornio/ Torne River
one – lake with skiing, casinos and inns;
Lake Tahoe (thanks @Glorfindel), a lake with the name that means "the lake", literally
one's a dry place near where Mongol herds graze;
Gobi Desert
one flows where born was a writer of plays.
Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace of Shakespeare (thanks @Glorfindel again), where Avon literally means "river"

Previous tenants “burnt down the house”
Renters looking for a flat recently on Trade Me might’ve been shocked to see a property in a desolate and destroyed state.
No, it’s not an ad for a typical student flat during O-Week; it’s actually our mates from the New Zealand Fire Service using Trade Me to help Kiwis understand that having working smoke alarms is no laughing matter.
And for everything you need to know about smoke alarms and why they’re so important, head over to the official Fire Service website. Now’s probably a good time to check your smoke alarm batteries are working, too. |
Q:
Usage of “I will be. . . if it were”
I found a statement in one of my old write-up and I can't not be sure if this is wrong. I am not a native English speaker.
I will be surprised if it were to be discovered that consciousness is absent in some primitive life form at any stage of evolution.
On re-reading, I feel confused about the co-existence of will and were in two clauses. Is it acceptable in this statement? What is the grammar rule which one can use as a rule of thumb to construct such sentences?
A:
The problem is not will with were so much as will with if it were to be.
Indeed, it leaves me unsure just what you want to say here. It's clearly a conditional sentence, but one part belongs to the predictive conditional, the other to the speculative conditional (there's also the factual conditional, but that is more clearly not being used here*).
The predictive conditional considers a case as possible:
I will be surprised if it were discovered that consciousness is absent in some primitive life form at any stage of evolution.
Or:
I will be surprised if it is discovered that consciousness is absent in some primitive life form at any stage of evolution.
Both of these express the possibility as a real one, even though it states that you would be surprised.
The speculative conditional or counterfactual conditional requires the conditional mood:
I would be surprised if it were to be discovered that consciousness is absent in some primitive life form at any stage of evolution.
This makes a much stronger dismissal; it is a hypothetical possibility raised solely to then be rejected.
So: If you are open to the possibility, then use the predictive form, but if you are adamant it will not happen, use the counterfactual.
*Another way to classify conditional sentences is as zero conditional, first conditional / conditional I, second conditional / conditional II, third conditional / conditional III and mixed conditional. Zero is factual, first is predictive, second is counterfactual in the present or future tense, third is counterfactual in the past tense, and mixed is counterfactual with either a past event condition affecting present or future outcome, or a past-continual affecting a past event.

S100 proteins constitute a major subfamily of EF-hand Ca2+-binding proteins that are characterized by cell type-specific expression and unusually high abundance in a variety of disease states, including arthritis, cancer, cystic fibrosis and AIDS. These proteins are distinguished from other EF-hand proteins by their unique N-terminal Ca2+ binding sites and high affinity for Zn2+. The S100s appear to take part in Ca2+ signalling pathways that are distinct from those controlled by the prototypical EF-hand Ca2+ sensors (eg. calmodulin and troponin C), but also have proposed functions other than in Ca2+ signalling. A considerable amount of data has been accumulated on the structure and other biophysical properties of S100 proteins. However, there is a critical gap in knowledge because nearly all of these studies have been carried out on either apo and/or Ca2+-loaded states in the absence of cellular targets. The research proposed in this application is focused on the most important outstanding question regarding S100 protein structural biology: What are the effects of binding to cellular targets on S100 protein structure, dynamics and ion affinity? A multi-disciplinary strategy that incorporates biochemical and structural approaches will be utilized to address these critical questions. The collaboration between the Chazin and Kuznicki groups couples biophysical and structural research to those of biologists in Poland who are also working to elucidate S100 protein function, to help ensure the biological significance of the structural results. The broad, long-term objectives of this research program are to understand the structural basis for the distinct cellular activities of S100 proteins, so that we may address their roles in health and disease. In this proposal, we will determine the structure of the complex of S100A6 with its target calcyclin binding protein. The Polish team will clone, produce and characterize the protein. The US team will carry out solution NMR experiments and structure calculations and analysis. This research will be done primarily in Poland as an extension of NIH grant # R01 GM62112. |

Evidence for chemotaxis during sexual development in Dictyostelium discoideum.
Amoebae in mated cultures of Dictyostelium discoideum show oriented movement towards young aggregates, suggesting that cemotaxis is involved in macrocyst development. Amoebae also show directional movement towards midendocyte stages, indicating that as the macrocyst develops it continues to be a source of chemoattractant. These data are discussed in terms of our current knowledge about mating in the cellular slime moulds. |
Endosulfan induced alteration in bacterial protein profile and RNA yield of Klebsiella sp. M3, Achromobacter sp. M6, and Rhodococcus sp. M2.
Three bacterial strains identified as Klebsiella sp. M3, Achromobacter sp. M6 and Rhodococcus sp. M2 were isolated by soil enrichment with endosulfan followed by shake flask enrichment technique. They were efficiently degrading endosulfan in the NSM (non sulfur medium) broth. Degradation of endosulfan was faster with the cell free extract of bacterial cells grown in the sulfur deficient medium (NSM) supplemented with endosulfan than that of nutrient rich medium (Luria Bertani). In the cell free extract of NSM supplemented with endosulfan as sole sulfur source, a unique band was visualized on SDS-PAGE but not with magnesium sulfate as the sole sulfur source in NSM and LB with endosulfan. Expression of a unique polypeptide band was speculated to be induced by endosulfan under sulfur starved condition. These unique polypeptide bands were identified as OmpK35 protein, sulfate binding protein and outer membrane porin protein, respectively, in Klebsiella sp. M3, Achromobacter sp. M6 and Rhodococcus sp. M2. Endosulfan showed dose dependent negative effect on total RNA yield of bacterial strains in nutrient rich medium. Absence of plasmid DNA indicated the presence of endosulfan metabolizing gene on genomic DNA. |
Contact protection
Contact protection methods are designed to mitigate the wear and degradation occurring during the normal use of contacts within an electromechanical switch, relay or contactor and thus avoid an excessive increase in contact resistance or switch failure.
Contact wear
Every time the contacts of an electromechanical switch, relay or contactor are opened or closed, there is a certain amount of contact wear. The sources of the wear are high current densities in microscopic areas, and the electric arc. Contact wear includes material transfer between contacts, loss of contact material due to splattering and evaporation, and oxidation or corrosion of the contacts due to high temperatures and atmospheric influences.
While a pair of contacts is closed, only a small part of the contacts are in intimate contact due to asperities and low-conductivity films. Because of the constriction of the current to a very small area, the current density frequently becomes so high that it melts a microscopic portion of the contact . During the close-to-open (break) transition, a microscopic molten bridge forms and eventually ruptures asymmetrically, transferring contact material between contacts and increasing the surface roughness. This can also occur during the open-to-close (make) transition due to contact bounce.
The electric arc occurs between the contact points (electrodes) both during the transition from closed to open (break) and from open to closed (make) when the contact gap is small and the voltage is high enough. Heating due to arcing and high current density can melt the contact surface temporarily. If some of the melting material solidifies while the contacts are closed, the contact may stick closed due to a micro-weld, similar to spot welding.
The arc caused during the contact break (break arc) is similar to arc welding, as the break arc is typically more energetic and more destructive. The arc can cause material transfer between contacts. The arc may also be hot enough to evaporate metal from the contact surface.
The high temperatures can also cause the contact metals to more rapidly oxidize and corrode.
Contacts reach end of life for one of two reasons. Either the contacts fail to break because they are stuck (welded) closed, or the contacts fail to make (high resistance) because of contact corrosion or because excessive material is lost from one or both contacts. These conditions are the result of cumulative material transfer during successive switching operations, and of material loss due to evaporation and splattering.
There are additional mechanisms for stuck closed failures, such as mechanical interlocking of rough contact surfaces due to contact wear.
Protection
The degradation of the contacts can be limited by including various contact protection methods.
One method is to add electronic components such as: capacitors, snubbers, diodes, Zener diodes, transient voltage suppressors (TVS), resistors, varistors, in-rush current limiters PTC resistors, NTC resistors, voltage-dependent resistors. However, this is the least effective method as these do neither significantly influence the creation nor suppress the arc between the contacts of the electromechanical power switches, relays and contactors.
A slightly more effective method is to make the contacts themselves larger, i.e., a contactor.
A similar method to increasing contact size is to make the contacts out of more durable metals or metal alloys such as tungsten.
The most effective methods are to employ arc suppression circuitry including arc suppressors, solid state relays, hybrid power relays, mercury displacement relays and hybrid power contactors.

Q:
What is an uber jar?
I am reading Maven documentation and came across the name 'uber-jar'.
What does an uber-jar mean and what are its features/advantages?
A:
Über is the German word for above or over (it's actually cognate with the English over).
Hence, in this context, an uber-jar is an "over-jar", one level up from a simple JAR (a), defined as one that contains both your package and all its dependencies in one single JAR file. The name can be thought to come from the same stable as ultrageek, superman, hyperspace, and metadata, which all have similar meanings of "beyond the normal".
The advantage is that you can distribute your uber-jar and not care at all whether or not dependencies are installed at the destination, as your uber-jar actually has no dependencies.
All the dependencies of your own stuff within the uber-jar are also within that uber-jar. As are all dependencies of those dependencies. And so on.
(a) I probably shouldn't have to explain what a JAR is to a Java developer but I'll include it for completeness. It's a Java archive, basically a single file that typically contains a number of Java class files along with associated metadata and resources.
A:
ubar jar is also known as fat jar i.e. jar with dependencies.
There are three common methods for constructing an uber jar:
Unshaded: Unpack all JAR files, then repack them into a single JAR.
Works with Java's default class loader. Tools maven-assembly-plugin
Shaded: Same as unshaded, but rename (i.e., "shade") all packages of all dependencies. Works with Java's default class loader. Avoids some (not all) dependency version clashes. Tools maven-shade-plugin
JAR of JARs: The final JAR file contains the other JAR files embedded within. Avoids dependency version clashes. All resource files are preserved. Tools: Eclipse JAR File Exporter
for more
A:
Paxdiablo's definition is really good.
In addition, please consider delivering an uber-jar is sometimes quite useful, if you really want to distribute a software and don't want customer to download dependencies by themselves. As a draw back, if their own policy don't allow usage of some library, or if they have to bind some extra-components (slf4j, system compliant libs, arch specialiez libs, ...) this will probably increase difficulties for them.
You can perform that :
basically with maven-assembly-plugin
a bit more further with maven-shade-plugin
A cleaner solution is to provide their library separately; maven-shade-plugin has preconfigured descriptor for that. This is not more complicated to do (with maven and its plugin).
Finally, a really good solution is to use an OSGI Bundle. There is plenty of good tutorials on that :)
For further configuration, please read those topics :
Should you provide dependent libraries in client jar?

Chinese scientists created pigs that are capable of glowing in the dark as part of a laboratory experiment. The pigs glow because of the genes transferred to them from jellyfish. The pig embryos were injected with plasmids containing fluorescent protein extracted from jellyfish DNA. The technique was invented in order to develop cheaper drugs for humans. |
Q:
No parameterless constructer defined for this object when putting EnabledDelete=true on LinqDataSource
If I have a LinqDataSource without EnabledDelete, EnabledUpdate, EnabledInsert, it works fine, but as soon as I add those properties to the data source, I get the error:
No parameterless constructor defined for this object.
A:
Here is an answer that helped me solve the issue from the MSDN forums:
LinqDataSource requires a default constructor on the DataContext. If you are working in a web application or website project, the Linq to SQL designer should have created a default constructor and connection string for you when you dragged tables from the database onto the design surface.
Did you create your DataContext and drag tables onto the design surface from a webapp or website project? Open the Lib.NorthwindDataContext class that was generated and see if it has the default constructor.
If you really want, you could also use LinqDataSource without the default constructor by handling the ContextCreating event and providing your own context instance.

Repressive translational control in germ cells.
The earliest stages of embryonic development in many animals proceed without zygotic transcription. Genetic control is executed by maternally inherited mRNAs that are under translational control. To set aside the future germ cell lineage, it is pivotal to both exert translational regulation of maternal germline mRNAs and to repress maternal signals in those same cells that drive somatic cell-fate determination. Here we review repressive translational regulation in the germline from the perspective of the conserved RNA binding proteins Pumilio and Nanos, and discuss common themes that have emerged. |
The BAFTA awards has suspended the nomination for Bryan Singer for his work on the film “Bohemian Rhapsody,” the British Academy announced Wednesday.
“Bohemian Rhapsody” was nominated for seven awards, and Singer’s name was listed along with producer Graham King and writer Anthony McCarten for its nomination for Outstanding British Film. King and McCarten’s names will still be listed as nominees for the film.
“In light of recent very serious allegations, BAFTA has informed Bryan Singer that his nomination for ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ has been suspended, effective immediately,” BAFTA said in a statement. “BAFTA considers the alleged behavior completely unacceptable and incompatible with its values. This has led to Mr Singer’s suspended nomination. BAFTA notes Mr Singer’s denial of the allegations. The suspension of his nomination will therefore remain in place until the outcome of the allegations has been resolved. BAFTA believes everyone has the right to a fulfilling career in a safe, professional working environment, and it will continue to collaborate with the film, games and television industries to achieve this.”

Singer was accused by five men of either seducing them or rape when they were underage boys in a piece published in January by The Atlantic. Singer said in a statement that the article was a “homophobic smear piece.”
GLAAD also announced following The Atlantic article that “Bohemian Rhapsody” would not be up for consideration for its annual media awards.
Singer was fired from “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Fox weeks before the film completed shooting due to Singer’s “unexpected unavailability” and later closed his offices on their lot. Singer said he was fired because the studio would not give him time to care for a sick parent.

BAFTA will make no further statement on this matter during the period of suspension. |
Set four years after the Battle of Hogwarts in DH. SLASH. MPREG. Draco's feeling a bit off, and no Muggle can help him. Unfortunately, he gets a bit more than he bargained for when he steps into the Healer's office...
Draco stared up at the white ceiling above his bed, one hand resting on his abdomen and the other pillowing his head.
"Ridiculous," he muttered, scowling at nothing in particular.
Was his decision too hasty? After all, it had only been a week and four hours since that day in Harry's office.
He thought he was making the right choice… He hoped he was making the right choice.
He couldn't banish from his mind the thought of Harry's tear-filled voice on the phone.
Harry had said, "If you're sure that's what you want, fine."
It hurt Draco's head to think about Harry's eyes brimming with tears.
But now at least he could drink his coffee in peace. Draco rolled onto his side and fell asleep.
.-xXXx-.
"Budge over, you prat."
There was a clink and soft thud as a set of keys and something else landed on the bedside table; twin thumps as a pair of shoes was thrown at the closet (and they probably missed it by about three feet). Draco felt the mattress sink as Harry sat down on the edge of the bed.
"That's the good thing about dating a Healer," Draco mused. "Illegal drugs."
"They're very legal, and they probably taste very bad," Harry muttered, lying down and suddenly finding himself with an armful of Draco. He pulled the blankets over both of them and sighed contentedly.
Draco jumped a little when a warm hand came to rest on his stomach, massaging in never-ending circles. It was Harry's obsession these days: Draco's belly.
Draco was silent for a moment while he linked their fingers together, and then said, "Hey, Harry?"
"Yeah?" One green eye opened slightly to look at him. Draco looked, smiling, at the tiny slit of green, then decided against what he was planning to say.
"Never mind," Draco said, and then kissed Harry on the side of the mouth. "How was your day?"
"Boring," he said, his eye closing as he yawned. "One of my patients accidentally swallowed my ear thermometer, Merlin knows how, and we had to get Augustus to remove it. He didn't know how, and then Luna was in the waiting room, and she, of all people, got it out in the blink of an eye. I don't know how she does it. Did you do anything today?"
"Oh, yeah," Draco murmured. "I did a lot of thinking. About names."
Harry gave him a small smile. "What are your ideas, then?"
Draco appeared to deliberate the point.
"Let's call him Lucius."
Eyes still closed, Harry raised an eyebrow and said, seemingly stifling a laugh, "And if it's a girl?"
"Let's call her Lucius."
Both of Harry's eyes flew open and he blinked in surprise. "You're not serious."
"A promise is a promise," Draco shrugged. "I promised Father."
Harry shrugged and closed his eyes again. Silence for a few moments. He could feel Harry's heart beating.
"A promise is a promise," Harry whispered, his breath tickling Draco's ear. "So, I promise that, one day, I'll marry you. I'm going to marry you and we'll have a house with a white picket fence and maybe some siblings for this one, and then…" he broke off with a yawn.
"I'll hold you to that," Draco replied, grinning so hard he thought he might tear his cheeks.
The beginning of their child was curled peacefully between them as Draco smiled softly and tangled his pale fingers in Harry's hair.
"By the way," Draco muttered into Harry's ear, receiving a soft snort in reply. "We need to buy more mugs."

Extended A/N: Thank you SO much to everyone who's reviewed so far, and everyone who is going to in the future. Thank you to everyone who added me to their Favorites lists, Alert lists, etc. You guys are my heroes.
And, if anyone's wondering (which I'm sure you are, if you really care), the paper that Harry gave to Draco at the end of chapter ten was the prescription form that Draco gave to Harry in chapter three. Yes, he still had it, all that time!
So, guys, what are you waiting for? REVIEW! Review me NOW, or else… Or else Draco is going to go to your house and impregnate you!
Wait, that's not such a bad thing, is it?
Now, the important question… Sequel, anyone?
The author would like to thank you for your continued support. Your review has been posted. |
