A recent job posting from Canonical appears to hint at Ubuntu’s continued commitment to first-class user experience. Some of the key ‘responsibilities’ listed in the opening make for interesting reading. They call for: – ‘…[a] talented, creative and self-motivated interaction designer to design a set of core applications for Ubuntu, leading the process from scoping to product launch.’ Whose role will: ‘…establish a practice of application design that will become an integral component of the development of Ubuntu.’ by the: ‘…creation of a set of Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) for Ubuntu.’ About time The latter of these tasks is something that I, and a great many others, have long felt would benefit Ubuntu , its ecosystem and, more importantly, its users. An Ubuntu HIG would give developers a real shot at creating applications that look and behave as consistently as those found on (get ready to draw a sharp breath) OS X. The often disjointed ‘feel’ afflicting so many 3rd party applications running in Ubuntu could be eased in one go. Many developers admit to not being that clued up about design or user interaction. A set of simple guidelines would help them adhere to a professional set of standards that work for users, resulting in a coherent experience. It’s a strict design guide that makes applications within KDE and elementary look so professional and integrated. Bringing something similar to Ubuntu would be a massive boon. Although it should be noted that it’s not clear from the job listing quite how far any ‘Ubuntu HIG’ would extend. Apply If you’re a designer demi-god – and you have the resum , education and first-hand experience to back such a claim up – you can apply for the post via this link.
This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The goal of this work is a structure-based understanding of how DNA replication is initiated. Replication initiates at multiple sites on the genome called origins of DNA replication. Specialized protein complexes bind at these sites and prepare the duplex for replication. The activity of these ensembles is tightly controlled to ensure that only one copy of the genome is made per cell cycle. The architecture, regulation and mechanisms of action of these large complexes are incompletely understood. Our work is of practical significance because regulatory changes in origin complexes contribute to human cancers. Efforts with bacterial complexes will provide much needed targets for development of novel antibiotics.

The central unifying theme of the program is to secure an understanding of the etiology of the main nutritionally-linked cancers in man, namely, breast, colon, and prostate cancer, as the basis for their prevention. This requires a concerted, multidisciplinary effort involving epidemiologic, metabolic epidemiologic, and experimental laboratory studies. Current concepts in cancer causation suggest that there are genotoxic or initiating agents, and agents such as promoters, acting by epigenetic mechanisms. Application of these concepts to factors responsible for the nutritionally-linked cancers has, thus far, provided evidence that, in part, nutritional factors bear on promotion. The following integrated studies are specifically designed to gain, further insight into the mechanisms whereby dietary factors operate in modifying carcinogenesis. In addition, two experimental approaches are designed to provide leads to the possible genotoxic elements which may be associated with gastric cancer on the one hand, and colon cancer and possibly other nutritionally-linked cancers on the other hand. The first segment aims to test the hypothesis that the risk for colon cancer is associated with specific qualitative and quantitative parameters in fecal bile acid patterns and with fecal mutagens which, in turn, reflect dietary fat and fiber intake. These studies involve determination of the metabolic epidemiology of colon cancer in three human populations with markedly different rates of colon cancer. Extracts of stools from such groups will be studied in organ cultures of rat colon to examine the possibility that differences seen at the population level are reflected in the possible cocarcinogenic or promoting effect in vitro. Since differences in breast cancer incidence around the world linked to nutrition are seen most remarkably in postmenopausal women, comparative metabolic epidemiology studies are proposed with emphasis on hormonal balances in postmenopausal women in populations at different risk. The aim is to establish whether specific hormonal profiles in plasma and breast fluid are linked to diet. Study of the modification of dietary factors, especially fat types and amount will permit delineation of the corresponding hormone changes. A combined experimental study on breast and colon cancer aims to elucidate the mechanisms whereby diet and specific dietary fats enhance tumor development.

Q: Changing sent action of a bar button item Hi I'm trying to change the sent action for a bar item button called scan , I have two versions of the same app, that connects to a bluetooth sensor. When you tap the scan button it searches for sensors and list them in a table view, so you select the row with the found sensor and it get connected. Now, the working version has the scan item's Sent Action set as scan, while the not working one has it set as unwind segue, and once you tap to the button it goes to the tableview but it won't list anything. how do I change it from unwind segue to scan? Working Not working A: SOLVED! I was trying to connect the button straight from it, instead of doing it from the properties inspector. That must have been my mistake in the first place.

Dogs are actually susceptible to many of the same types of cancers that afflict humans. However, the symptoms may be very different, and the treatment options are rather specific for the type of cancer diagnosed. We encourage pet parents to educate themselves on how to detect possible signs of cancer and other serious diseases their dog may contract. Types of Canine Cancer Dogs may suffer from many different types of cancerous growths. One of the most common is osteosarcoma, or bone cancer. Bladder cancer is also a common form of cancer in dogs. Brain tumors, lymphomas, lung cancer, skin cancer, and mammary carcinomas also occur, and the symptoms of these malignancies are quite varied. Bone cancer in dogs usually occurs in one of the limbs. The dog may appear to be lame, and swelling often occurs at the point where the malignancy is developing. A brownish color or blood in the urine is the most common symptom of bladder cancer. Tumors in the brain can cause staggering, forgetfulness, a failure to recognize the owner’s voice or to follow commands. Lymphomas often have such symptoms of swelling of the glands in the neck, diarrhea, and vomiting. Lung cancer is often accompanied by coughing, weight loss, and shortness of breath. Skin cancer signs include areas of color change, crusty lesions, and wounds that do not heal. Mammary carcinomas usually occur in older female dogs, especially those animals that have never been spayed. Symptoms include multiple swell points around the mammary gland and an irregular shape to the mammary gland or nipple. Treatment Options These include antiangiogenic, chemotherapy, anti-cancer diet, radiation therapy, and surgery. Antiangiogenic therapy involves the cutting off of new blood vessels formed in and around the malignancy. Chemotherapy is the introduction of drugs that actually destroy the cancer cells. An anti-cancer diet includes foods that are high in antioxidants, a blend of ingredients high in complex carbohydrates, simple sugars, and easily digestible proteins. Radiation therapy for dogs involves the direction of high-energy electromagnetic radiation streams at the afflicted cells. This kills the malignant growths. Surgery may be recommended as the most effective treatment for tumors that are localized and when the malignancy has not spread to other parts of the body. Surgery is generally performed as a two-step operation. The first surgery removes the cancerous cells, and the second surgery removes scar tissue. Dogs are family members; we love them wholeheartedly. Be proactive and observant when it comes to your dog’s behavior and overall appearance. Doing so may just save his life!

Imaging of the right heart--CT and CMR. Right ventricular (RV) structure and function is of substantial importance in a broad variety of clinical conditions. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and computed tomography (CT) each provide three-dimensional RV imaging, high-resolution evaluation of RV structure/anatomy, and accurate functional assessment without geometric assumptions. This is of particular significance for the RV, where complex geometry compromises reliance on indices derived from two-dimensional (2D) imaging planes. CMR flow-based imaging can be applied to right-sided heart valves, enabling evaluation of hemodynamic and valvular dysfunction that may contribute to or result from RV dysfunction. Tissue characterization imaging by both CMR and CT provides valuable complementary assessment of the RV. Changes in myocardial tissue composition provide a mechanistic substrate for RV dysfunction and cardiac arrhythmias. This review provides an overview of RV imaging by both CMR and CT, with focus on assessment of RV structure/function, flow, and tissue characterization. Emerging evidence and established guidelines are discussed in the context of imaging contributions to diagnosis, prognostic risk stratification and disease management of clinical conditions that impact the right ventricle.
The Cape Peninsula University of Technology committed to insourcing security guards and workers on Monday. CPUT workers signed their insourcing pre-contracts on Monday after a week long student-worker struggle that led to a temporary shutdown of the institution last week. The temporary shutdown was centered on two issues: insourcing of workers and request to the university to submit motivations to the National Prosecuting Authority for the dropping of Fees Must Fall criminal charges. Speaking to Vernac News worker’s leader Arthur Xolani said that though he welcomed the progress made he felt that they had received a ‘blank cheque’ as details of the agreement such as income scale are yet to be ironed out. The commitment to insourcing is expected to change the lives of CPUT workers as they stand to gain all benefits associated with CPUT employees. They are expected to have access to medical aid which was previously not accessible on their outsourced contracts, better wages and job security. However the full details of the agreement are yet to be concluded. The University has also made commitment to submit motivational letters to the courts to ‘allow all students charged to complete their studies at CPUT’. Classes continued as normal on Monday at the Bellville Campus. Security and cleaning workers are expected to return to work on Tuesday.
An elderly woman with obstructed obturator hernia: a less common variety of external abdominal hernia. Obturator hernia is a type of external abdominal hernia. Site of hemiation is the obturator canal, which is the superolateral aspect of the obturator foramen. The herniation sac exits the pelvis near the obturator nerve and vessels. Herniated loops of small bowel extend between the pectineus and obturator muscles. In this report, we present a case of obstructed obturator hernia.
[Antibacterial activity, place of action and mechanism of resistance of pulmonal effecting antibiotics (author's transl)]. Antibiotics are of high importance in iatrogenic pathology. The emergence of resistent strains is a sanitary problem of remarkable consequences particularly under hospital conditions. Modern pulmology is not imaginable without antibiotic and chemotherapeutic drugs. A rational and economic therapy is possible only if the mechanisms and sites of antibacterial action and of drug resistance in bacteria are known.

Q: Preventing BIOS rootkit on Ubuntu Linux Other than standard security "best practices" like having a good firewall, strong admin password, ensuring the latest security patches, and upping router security, is there anything more specific that can help prevent (specifically) a BIOS rootkit via Ubuntu? A: Be careful with installing software from unknown sources. You might get more security ideas by looking at this project : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qubes_OS That project is developed by security experts. The idea is to isolate work, home, play etc. You can use this isolation idea yourself already by using Virtualbox, KVM, Qemu client guest install for "play", therefore having some isolation from your real important things. Do you have rkhunter installed? It is a rootkit detection program. You can install it and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure rkhunter to adjust the settings to your taste. You can also install the chkrootkit package, but chkrootkit might give you more false alarms (Depending on which other programs you will install, or have running. Which is okay if can find out what is causing the false alarm). http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=rkhunter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rkhunter Furthermore you can also install Lynis to perform a security check on your computer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynis A: Afaik there has been no observation of BIOS rootkit malware in the wild so far, only other rootkit types. So in that aspect your question sounds pretty hypothetical at this point but I'm going to indulge you anyway. All the things you're listing as examples are general security advices against all types of malware. If you're looking for defences specifically against malware in the BIOS then your best option is Secure Boot which helps to prevent the injection of unsigned boot loaders and kernel modules into the boot process. This assumes that the BIOS rootkit managed to place itself into the system firmware but not to disable or circumvent Secure Boot. This situation may happen if the malware comes in form of a UEFI module that doesn't modify the behaviour of the core UEFI firmware. Other than that, don't run untrustworthy software in a trusted environment – especially not as super-user or in the kernel – and don't give untrustworthy people physical access to your machine, lest the trusted environment is tainted to become untrustworthy itself. A: Nope, you've covered all the bases already. Provided you understand and follow basic security protocols (as you've discussed in your post) and prevent unauthorized people from using your machine, there isn't much else you can do to prevent rootkits or similar. The most common entry point on a well-maintained and sanely designed system would be through the use of zero-day or disclosed-but-not-yet-fixed exploits, but these are mostly unavoidable. The one further piece of advice which may be of use is to avoid creating an unnecessary surface for attack. If you don't need something installed, get rid of it to prevent it from being used against you. Same goes for PPAs and similar. Plus, it helps clean up your machine and make it easier to administer. Otherwise, install and use rkhunter and similar defensive strategies, and just keep doing what you're normally doing. Linux's permission isolation is inherently safe, so unless you're doing something to violate that (like running everything you can with sudo), arbitrarily running executables, using unknown/untrusted PPAs, you should be fine. As for avoiding BIOS rootkits specifically, check if your BIOS has a "signature verification" mode or similar. Such a mode will prevent your BIOS from updating unless it detects a valid cryptographic signature, which is usually only present on legitimate updates from your manufacturer.

An epileptic focus location method based on ECoG. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by the sudden abnormal discharging of brain neurons that can lead to encephalographic (EEG) abnormalities. In this study, data was obtained from epileptic patients with intracranial depth electrodes and analyzed using wavelet entropy algorithms in order to locate the epileptic foci. Significant increases in the wavelet entropy of the epileptic signals were identified during multiple episodes of clinical seizures. The results indicated that the algorithm was capable of identifying entropy changes in the epileptic sources. Furthermore, the correlations among the electrocorticogram (ECoG) signals of different channels determined using the amplitude-amplitude coupling method verified that the epileptic foci exhibited significantly higher coupling strengths. Thus, cross frequency coupling (CFC) could be an inspiration to energy and signal transitive mode of seizure and, thereby, improve diagnostic processes.
Q: Host a mySQL Server I am making a Javafx program and need to use a small mySQL database. Currently I am hosting one on my computer but I can't access it on other computers on other networks. I need the mySQL server to be accessible from anywhere. How do I host one that does that? Thanks in advance, all help is welcome. A: Well you have a few options depending on how important this MySQL database is to you, how you intend to connect to it from outside, and what you want to do with it. The naive implementation would involve opening your firewall and directing all incoming traffic using whatever port you have configured MySQL for to point to the ip address of your server. If you do this you absolutely must secure your database with a password!!! You'll also need to keep the server's public ip address handy so you know how to find it when you go out. Use Amazon AWS, Google Compute, Google App Engine, or some other cloud platform to host a MySQL instance. All the big players also tend to host pretty awesome RDBMS solutions. The advantage here is that you're not exposing your home computer to malice and you are connecting into an ecosystem that will answer a lot of other questions for you as they come up along the way (IE - how do you ensure redundancy? Backups? Scale your network for traffic?). There's a ton of other advantages too. It's the cloud... dude... Use a SaaS DB service such as Firebase (Note: We are leaving MySQL and SQL database territory with Firebase) If you plan to let other parties access your MySQL instance to make use of your data, you might also want to consider implementing a REST API (or SOAP API if you hate the future) which acts as an abstraction layer to interact with and provide the data from your database in a consistent and reliable format. Best answer I can give with the details afforded - look around though the options in this arena are near limitless depending on how and what you're trying to do.
[Polyploidy and polyteny in the trophoblast cells of the mink]. According to cytophotometry, trophoblast cells in the mink placenta are both diploid and polyploid, the ploidy level ranging from 2c to 64c. A great number of mink trophoblast cells were seen to divide mitotically. In addition to the ordinary mitotic figures, polyploid mitoses as well as abnormal mitotic figures were observed. Non-classic polytene chromosomes, peculiar to the mammalian trophoblast, appeared in the mink trophoblast cells to have the highest ploidy. A relatively low ploidy degree is due, probably, to a lesser invasive activity of the mink trophoblast cells as compared to the rodent giant trophoblast cells.
Imaging Transplantation in Movement Disorders. Cell replacement therapy with graft transplantation has been tested as a disease-modifying treatment in neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the damage of a predominant cell type, such as substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson's disease (PD) or striatal medium spiny projection neurons in Huntington's disease (HD). The results of these trials are mixed with success in preclinical and pilot open-label trials, which were not consistently reproduced in randomized controlled trials. Positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) molecular imaging and functional magnetic resonance imaging allow the graft survival, and its relationship with the host tissues to be studied in vivo. In PD, PET with [18F]DOPA showed that graft survival does not necessarily correlate with the clinical improvement and PD patients with worse outcome had lower binding in the ventral striatum and a high serotonin ([11C]DASB PET) to dopamine ([18F]DOPA PET) ratio in the grafted neurons. In HD, PET with [11C]PK11195 showed the graft survival and the clinical responses may be related to the reactive activation of the host inflammatory/immune system. Findings from these studies have been used to refine study protocols and patient selection in current clinical trials, which includes identifying suitable candidates for transplantation using imaging markers and employing multiple and/or novel PET tracers to better assess graft functions and inflammatory responses to grafts.
Lots of sugar, high fructose corn syrup and other culprits may make you reach for a healthier option at the grocery store, but becoming sticker shocked at the price of a box of cereal can be reason to learn to make your own. It can save money, but also can increase the health benefits. Making your own cereal may sound daunting if you don’t like to be in the kitchen, but actually the following recipes are doable, and the ingredients can be adjusted to suit any cereal craving. This recipe for homemade vanilla almond cereal puffs is gluten free, but all-purpose or whole wheat flour can be substituted instead of non-gluten baking flour. It also uses almond flour, but any finely ground nuts can be used instead. Image source: runningtothekitchen.com Naturally sweetened with antioxidant rich maple syrup and yogurt, it may be a favorite new snack. For a chocolate version, this mocha spin on coco puffs from Cook Republic makes cereal look gourmet. These great recipes for homemade cinnamon toast crunch (made from actual little toasts) and cookie crisp cereal incredibly makes healthier versions of the boxed favorites. They can be made gluten free, grain free and even egg free. Protein powder can also be added in to max out the health factor. This fabulous idea for customizable cereal from Willow Bird Baking uses homemade bran flakes and granola as a base for an endless supply of different cereals. This is perfect for the household where everyone likes a different brand. The homespun bran flakes uses whole wheat flour and almond flour. Packed with oats and coconut, the granola is good alone or as a base for piling on favorite toppings. Any combination of ingredients can be used and stored separately in mason jars or other sealed containers and kept on hand for easy mixing and matching. Image source: willowbirdbaking.com Some ideas are to use dried fruits like tart cherries, blueberries, apples, pineapple and raisins. Also, additions like toasted nuts or seeds, dried coconut flakes and chocolate chips are just a few other to consider. Image source: willowbirdbaking.com Cereal can also be used for toppings on yogurt, ice cream, fruit, or mixed in with other recipes like muffins, cookies and oatmeal. And don’t just break out cereal in the morning. Consider recipes and ideas for using cereal that gets it out of the breakfast bowl and incorporates it in other dishes. Though making your own cereal does take a bit of time commitment, the finished products will last for a couple of weeks if kept an air tight container. Depending on the ingredients used, some may require refrigeration. Many homemade cereal recipes can even be frozen, so ingredients can be doubled to make larger batches. Most foods will freeze better if first dried thoroughly and then placed in a single layer on a cookie sheet or flat surface and frozen until solid. After frozen, the food can be transferred to a storage container. Check out Mr. Breakfast for links to many other cereal recipes that are made healthier.

Therapeutic value of indomethacin in threatened abortion. One hundred cases of threatened abortion were randomly allocated to four lines of treatment namely, long acting progesterone, antispasmodic, indomethacin and placebo. The lowest success rate was encountered in the indomethacin treated group; symptoms of intolerance were common and three cases out of sixteen turned into missed abortion. Indomethacin does not offer any advantage over other lines of treatment in threatened abortion.

Q: Call grandparent method in grand child class Sorry, may be this is silly question, but its very confusing to me. Let's suppose we have the following classes: class A(): def say(self): print("A") class B(A): def say(self): print("B") class C(B): def say(self,args, kwargs): return super(C, self).say(args, *kwargs) I am accessing parent method in child, and it prints B, but I want to access method from class A as we are getting access from class B. I know we can add super in class B, but I don't want to modify class B. so is there any option to get method from A directly in class C? A: You can by calling A.say(self) like this: class A(): def say(self): print("A") class B(A): def say(self): print("B") class C(B): def say(self): A.say(self) B.say(self) print("C") Then to test it out from a terminal: >>> a = A() >>> a.say() A >>> b = B() >>> b.say() B >>> c = C() >>> c.say() A B C Note: I dropped the args and kwargs because the A and B classes didn't use those arguments. If you wanted to make say take those all the way up though simply call A.say(self, args, **kwargs) and if A.say returns something you can return it too
Jēn Jēn Jēn, often also jān, mostly translates as “potential”. Or those at the beginning of their journey. So, heirs are called jān, apprentices have the title jān, even the youngest To’asha have jān as part of their title. So the letter covers potentiality. Like the magician card in tarot or older practise of apprenticeship with a particular trade. It doesn’t specifically mean someone who is young or inexperienced, it’s more about the potential, the waiting future, so it’s primarily about potential and having the path of some journey far ahead of you. Pronunciation for reading it is “ja”, and it’s the “j” in jet and jump. Sometimes, like in the case of certain names (e.g. Jaran), the “j” sounds like the “s” in “measure”.
Monkey is very cute. I agree with Jim, if she seems fine I wouldn't worry about it. If it causes her any discomfort, or looks infected or anything then a vet trip would be in order. Just keep an eye on it.
Environmentally harmful species in the exhaust gas emitted from an internal combustion engine, such as hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), PM, and nitric oxides (NOx) are regulated species that need to be removed from the exhaust gas. In lean combustion engines, e.g. diesel engines, determined by their lean combustion nature, PM and NOx are two major emissions. In controlling these emissions, DPF has become the most effective technology in decreasing PM emissions, including both particle mass and numbers, while a number of technologies, including LNT (Lean NOx Trap) and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) have been used for reducing NOx emissions. In a DPF system, PM information is important in controlling DPF regeneration processes and detecting anomalies in the DPF system. Normally DPF systems need to be regenerated from time to time to remove accumulated PM. In triggering a DPF regeneration process, PM deposit quantity is required to be accurately detected to avoid late regeneration which may cause damage to the DPF due to that a large amount of extra heat can be generated in self-sustained combustion of PM in the DPF. In running a DPF system, in addition to PM deposit quantity, the effectiveness of the DPF, which is indicated by a filtering efficiency, also needs to be monitored. A low filtering efficiency suggests a DPF failure, which is required to be detected to satisfy On Board Diagnostic (OBD) requirements. The PM deposit quantity can be detected directly or calculated with a PM concentration in exhaust gas flow upstream from the DPF, while a low filtering efficiency can be detected by monitoring PM concentration downstream from the DPF. A variety of sensors, such as capacitive sensors and microwave sensors can be used in directly detecting PM deposit amount in a DPF, while resistive sensors and charge transient sensors are used in detecting PM concentration in an exhaust flow. Among these sensors, PM deposit sensors normally are not appropriate for diagnosing DPF failures, while PM concentrations sensors are sensitive to particulate size and their poor accuracy limits their applications in controlling DPF regenerations. To increase control and diagnostic performance whilst lower system complexity, it is then a primary object of the present invention to provide a multifunctional PM sensing device that is insensitive to particulate size and other influencing factors, such as exhaust gas temperature and exhaust gas species, and can be used for both triggering DPF regeneration and detecting DPF failures. A further object of the present invention is to provide a PM sensing device that is able to regenerate by itself, so that a PM concentration in a shorter period of time can be obtained. Another object of the present invention is to provide a diagnostic apparatus with a PM sensing device to detect anomalies in a DPF system and a DPF device.

Q: Law of total expectation in the Efron-Stein inequality I was reading the Efron-Stein inequality (see for example). To get the context, define $X_1,...,X_n$, a set of iid random variables and $Z=f(X_1,...,X_n)$. In one step of the proof one uses that for $j>i$, $$ E[Z\|X_1,...,X_i] = E[\,E[Z\|X_1,...,X_j]\,\|\,X_1,...,X_i]. $$ I understand that the equality is true by the Law of Total Expectation. But, why is it relevant that $j>i$? Why that equality doesn't work for $j\leq i$? A: Hint: Tower property If $\mathcal F_1 \subset \mathcal F_2$ so $\mathbb E(\mathbb E(Z\mid \mathcal F_2)\mid \mathcal F_1)=\mathbb E(\mathbb E(Z\mid \mathcal F_1)\mid \mathcal F_2)=\mathbb E(Z\|\mathcal F_1).$ Since $j>i$ so $\mathcal F_1=\sigma(X_1,\cdots , X_i)\subset \mathcal F_2=\sigma(X_1,\cdots , X_j).$
I identify as an anarcho-capitalist and a moral nihilist. In this post I'll try to sketch my most strongly held convictions about ethics and politics, with a focus on the relationships between them. This won't be an attempt to argue persuasively in favour of any of the positions I hold, or even to explain them carefully. I'm instead interested in showing how the pieces fit together. A cascade of heuristics In the world as it is, I believe: Any move towards anarcho-capitalism will tend to Minimise monopolies. Which will tend to Improve general wellbeing. Which will tend to Satisfy my personal preferences. Each of the heuristics above earns its keep commensurate with how well I believe it facilitates the step beneath. These are heuristics that won't deliver an optimal result in every case, but I believe they'll give a superior result to alternate systems, and that moving through the cascade as a whole will tend to give better results than attempting to skip any of the steps it contains. Virtual? I'll summarise quickly why I'm not a believer (at least not in the fullest sense) in libertarian natural law. Natural law ancaps like Rothbard advocate an order in which private property is universally respected/enforced, along neo-Lockean lines. I believe natural law theorists fall short in their attempts to establish that rights are anything but agreements between people about how they must treat one another. I think that rationalist attempts to deduce an objective ethical code from the nature of man, or from the facts of argumentation fail too. To me, social constructivist and moral nihilist accounts of rights and ethics are much more compelling, because of their parsimony and explanatory power. Natural-law indeterminism Before it can be of any use in the world, natural-law needs a set of inherently subjective line-drawing decisions, to make identifying rights violations possible. These are known as continuum problems. The dependence of natural-law on the content of these rulings for its implementation means it has an inherent indeterminism — we don’t know what a real world implementation of natural rights would look like, because that would depend to a very large extent on how private judges draw lines. I wrote more about this in the post NAPI. Non-aggression principle insufficiency. That all said, if I assume the kinds of rulings that writers on natural law also seem to assume (as I will do from now on in this post), I agree with the ancap rationalists that a neo-Lockean private property order would be desirable in relation to the status quo. I disagree with their view that it's possible to reach that conclusion through deductive reason. A Schelling point Natural rights are a fiction in my view, but strike me as a relatively good Schelling point for a governing norm; We have strong and agreeing intuitions about examples of legitimate property, and about unacceptable violence and theft, in many contexts. These intuitions accord with the prescriptions of neo-Lockean property rights. People prefer consistency in their moral judgements, and a natural law approach can satisfy that need well; Better, I claim, than either statist legal positivism, or 'we the people' mysticism can. Why do I advocate for set of rules that are dependent on fictions, rather than for the 'raw' moral nihilism that I believe is true, instead? Compared to advocating for ancap, energetically advocating moral nihilism seems likely to move the world by a lesser distance towards an outcome I strongly prefer (general wellbeing). People want to know how to act. And moral nihilism isn't any use for answering that question. I believe moral fictionalism is the appropriate fix. Here's roughly how it works out in my own life: I 'pretend' that moral facts exist – this is easy because this make-believe accords with my moral feelings, and usually with those of the people around me. This allows me to better realise my preferences. So from one angle, my ethical/political stack looks roughly like this: My subjective preferences -> running moral fictionalism -> running rule consequentialism -> running ancap. Prospects of change Even if ancap is a possible Schelling point, we do currently have representative democracy (generalising), and not anarcho-capitalism. What grounds are there for supposing that a shift in governance in that direction is possible? 'Underthrow' technologies (synergistically social and digital) are emerging that undermine the state's ability to wield coercive power, in all kinds of subtle ways. They're bringing exit from its systems ever more conveniently within reach. As this trend progresses there's less and less reason for the state's subjects to rationalize their victimisation. These forces may move us to an inflection point from which we'll leave behind the forms of governance we're habituated to. Anti-monopolism The sanctity of rights, while very important shouldn't be our paramount concern. Consider Robinson Crusoe: Close to starvation, alone on an island, with his natural rights uninfringed on. Crusoe is arguable worse off than he would be if he was a typical citizen under a (natural-rights violating) representative democracy today. William Nava has a podcast episode where he talks about his belief that free market advocates should be more interested in minimising monopolies than in ensuring the sanctity of property rights. I agree, sort of. In the episode he sets out a thought experiment in which landlords in an ancap order have gotten ownership of large contiguous areas of land, and form a conglomerate. Because the territory is so large, the renters of property within it face high costs if they want to leave. The way I'd frame the scenario is that the relative difficulty and high cost of leaving means that the owners of the land can get away with imposing more restrictions on the freedoms of the persons living there than we're used to under existing representative democratic regimes. I agree that this situation might be much worse than what we have now, even though no-ones rights have been violated according to natural-law. To a very large extent, it's competition between providers of goods and services that makes our lives better. Monopolies are the antithesis of this competition, but they are compatible with ancap. I don’t want a private property society for its own sake, I want one because I think it’s the order that would best satisfy my preferences for wellbeing, because it will tend to minimise monopoly power (the opposite of what newly minted critics of ancap reflexively assume). If I came to believe that another system would do a better job of minimising monopoly, all else somehow equal, I would advocate for that approach instead. A benevolent superhuman AI monopolist Anti-monopolism is also a heuristic. It may not always be the case that minimising monopoly is best for human well-being. Imagine a superhuman AI without typical human failings, with no competitors, managing the production of goods and services for humans. This AI incorporates preference-satisfaction and opportunity cost feedback into its calculations by a mechanism we can’t currently imagine. It’s not obvious that this situation would be improved with the addition of a competing food provider – it might even be made worse because of inefficient resource use. I don't want to minimise monopolies because of badness that's intrinsic to them, but because monopolies (especially in the context of the world as we know it) tend to hurt wellbeing; They result in higher prices and poorer quality of service than tend to obtain under conditions of competition. Uncertainty In this sketch I hope to have shown how my ethical and socio-political beliefs hang together at the moment. They might change. Compared to other things I've written, I'm a good deal less certain about what the ideas I've expressed here. If I change my mind sufficiently in the future on any of this I'll write a new post and link to it below.

Film Review: Inner Demons Carson (Lara Vosburgh), the teenage daughter of a deeply religious family, begins using heroin to suppress the evil growing inside of her. Her family, noticing the major changes happening in their honor student daughter, agrees to be part of an intervention style reality show in order to get her help. In rehab, without the drugs to keep the evil at bay, Carson is overcome with a demon force that puts everyone around her in mortal danger. Inner Demons could easily pass for an episode of Intervention. I have seen enough episodes to recognize all of the important elements. The interviews with the parents are the best parts. There is the mother who punishes herself for the problems of her daughter and the father with anger and past alcohol issues who enables the daughter out of guilt. They have the shots of Carson using heroin in the bathroom, in alleyways with other teenagers and in her bedroom, all under the guise that she is part of a study on heroin users. They even have the pre-intervention meeting with the therapist before Carson is lead into the house for the surprise. Courtesy of IFC Midnight After the intervention, Carson agrees to get help. Once in rehab, away from the drugs they all thought were ruining her life, Carson only gets worse. The filmmakers and others in the rehab facility think Carson is crazy for believing she is possessed by a demon with only one person, a camera man named Jason (Morgan McClellan), who thinks she is genuine. Carson and Jason have to find a way to get rid of the demon before it is able to take over completely. Vosburgh, in her first movie role, is excellent as Carson. She brings a vulnerable strength to the role necessary for believability. I would not be surprised to see her in more lead roles in the future. I went to high school with a girl that was on Intervention. She, too, was a heroin user. It was strange seeing this film because it was almost like watching that episode. I don’t want to use her name but she was amongst the top students in our class and, by college, was using heavy drugs. There was a total transformation from the girl I knew in school to the woman I saw on the television. The truth is that she had her own inner demons that she was trying to suppress with the drugs. Now no, they weren’t literal demons but that is what makes Inner Demons so clever. How are we to know that anyone’s demons aren’t real? They surely feel real to the person inflicted. Courtesy of IFC Midnight It is refreshing to see that a low budget film can create something that high budgets and Hollywood cannot seem to and that is originality. These are the films that should be making all of the money, not those horrible butchered remakes that Hollywood keeps pumping out. Given that they were able to effectively Seth Grossman and Glenn Gers, the director and writer of Inner Demons respectively, are given the opportunity to create more films Inner Demons is now available on DVD from IFC Midnight. =========================================================================================================Ann Ann Hale is the horror editor for Pop-Break.com and a senior contributing writer, reviewing horror movies and television shows.

The present invention relates to improvements in a clutch device of an automatic transmission, and more particularly to a rotation clutch device which varies an engagement capacity thereof. Generally, an automatic transmission is set in a predetermined shift speed by selectively engaging a plurality of friction elements through fluid pressure. Many clutches of the friction elements are of a rotation clutch device which rotates in the automatic transmission. A publication "SERVICE MANUAL FOR FULL-RANGE AUTOMATIC TRANS-AXLE OF NISSAN RE4F02A TYPE" discloses a typical automatic transmission which includes a rotation clutch device such as a low clutch or high clutch. Each rotation clutch device of this typical automatic transmission is arranged such that an engagement capacity thereof is fixed. Some conventional automatic transmissions are arranged to engage a rotation clutch device in a plurality of shift speeds whose required torque share ratios are different from each other. Accordingly, the conventional rotation clutch device is designed so as to adapt to the shift speed whose required torque share ratio is maximum. This increases the size of the rotation clutch device so as to require a large space for this device and to increase a production cost thereof. In addition, when the shift change to a shift position whose required torque share ratio is small is executed, it is necessary to finely control the clutch operation pressure while keeping it at a small value in order to suppress a shift shock. Further, even if a source pressure of the clutch working pressure is fluctuated slightly, the clutch working pressure is largely affected to increase the fluctuation of the shift change performance of the automatic transmission in the above mentioned shift change. This degrades the quality of the automatic transmission. On the other hand, some non-rotation type clutches are of a variable engagement capacity type which has a plurality of piston chambers for varying the engagement capacity. However, if such structure of the non-rotation clutch is simply applied to a rotation clutch, the rotation clutch generates a dragging due to the rotation itself. In order to improve this dragging, a UD clutch of a rotation type installed in an automatic transmission of F4A42 (INVECS-II) type, which is produced by MITSUBISHI MOTORS CORP., is arranged to include a centrifugal pressure cancel chamber for canceling a centrifugal pressure generated in a clutch piston chamber. However, if such multi piston chamber structure of the non-rotation type clutch is applied to the rotation clutch, it is necessary to provide a plurality of centrifugal pressure cancel chambers to cancel the centrifugal pressures of the plurality of piston chambers. This complicates the structure of the rotation clutch and increases a production cost thereof.

This sweet cupid's quiver and bolt double tattoo takes an extremely straightforward style and makes it remarkable by including the component of astonishment! Stipple structures are another wind on an old custom and put forth straightforward expressions like this necktie your heart in tangles as you consider it's importance. The situation on the external foot rear area of the hand keeps this covered up through a handshake or two, and keeps your eye moving over the framework as your psyche finishes the holes in the straightforward direct plan. These four fingers contain the majority of the periods of the moon, which for some speak to the periods of our lives. A blend of intense diagrams and unpretentious stippling make this moon plans exceptional, alongside the reliable circle shape that keeps it predictable and conspicuous all through. Intense structures roused by Indian henna tattoo customs are dependably a champ in the hand and finger classification! You'll have profound snapshots of examination as you gaze into this adapted stink eye security image or a lotus bloom. Who says complex structures can't go to a little region? With the correct craftsman, you can take the best shading blends you adore and disentangle them to look similar as wonderful on a little scale. Take your tattooist's direction on this one. This mix treble and G clef image are front and centre for all to see. Far and away superior, the affection for the music is complemented by the adapted heart layout that these two images make when situated just so and confronted outward toward the watcher. When you discover your affection for hand tattoos is persisting, it tends to be hard not to pack all that you can into this region. Influence utilization of the sides of your fingers and you'll to have the capacity to control the shading mixes to indicate what you're about! Give standing a shot much further from the group when you put your finger tattoos in the middle of your first and second knuckle, instead of your second and third. The littler territory will request more straightforward structures, yet the general look is very staggering!

Basic exact but exceptionally fancy, this is for the most part only a case of how you can utilize amazing words for ear tattoos. You could undoubtedly explore different avenues regarding other short words, for example, confidence, expectation or quality or additionally utilize other remote contents, for example, Hebrew or Chinese. Have you at any point heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon? I'm certain Pocahontas did. She is depicted perfectly in the tattoo and the leaves made it more lovely to the eye. We want to be courageous like Merida and be as upbeat as we can like Joy. An excellent woman in delightful clothing with a hot flower circlet could be inked as a piece of otherworldliness and love for Christianity. Mother Mary could be made enthusiastic by interfacing this image to nature including grasses and vines. You may likewise include a child Jesus in mother Mary's lap. We don't say this all the time in regards to deer tattoos however we're going to make a special case. This is potentially one of the coolest tattoos that we have found in quite a while. Do you see why? Obviously, you do! This is a dazzling tattoo that looks completely awesome. Strikingly like the tattoo that global pop sensation Rihanna sports on the scruff of her neck. This behind the ear stars tattoo has turned into a stylish style explanation. On the off chance that you are searching for some sort of imagery, what we can state separated from the way that tattoo indicates out you as the star. This tattoo is the notable glass shoe of Cinderella that she exited when pursued by the Prince at the time she went to the ball. As appeared in the motion picture, the delicate glass shoe was put on a pad for wellbeing until the point that they find the legitimate proprietor. Another great bit of craftsmanship. Simply dark lines this time, similar to a cool portray. I have an inclination that possibly, quite possibly, this probably won't be done. Or if nothing else, sooner or later, the buddy may add to it somehow. It's not my tattoo, so not for me to state, but rather I think this one is immaculate as and is presumably the most boss puppy tattoo (instead of adorable, sensible, educated, and so forth) in this gathering up until now. Cherry blooms have symbolized life since time immemorial. They remain for old life, new life, and transient life; comprehensively, the cycle of life. Neither can the multifaceted design of the blooms nor their magnificence be undermined. They are fragile, lovely tattoos and ladies who genuinely acknowledge life complete them. This is for best friends who don't see each other regularly like a long separation sort of relationship 'kinda' thing. What's more, it isn't such a terrible thing on the grounds that as what they say, "Nonappearance influences the heart to develop fonder." You don't have to see each other regularly to indicate the amount you give it a second thought. Glyphs are an arrangement of essential images in Greek. These tattoos are generally extremely minor, yet ground-breaking. This specific one signifies 'to investigate'. It is a steady update that through this voyage of life, you should explore constantly. This bodacious ancestral trimming incorporates three beautiful indistinguishable blooms. The tattoo extends from the ladies' rib confine to the back that creates the fascinating impact. The examples are done in conventional dark shading while the florets have less brilliant shades. A point by point tattoo of Cheshire, the well-known cat due to its naughty grin. This cat shows up and vanishes at whatever point it needs to and you'll be diverted by its baffled discussion. Like the statement over, this cat is telling us that "we are for the most part frantic." Ursula is the sea witch who took Ariel's dazzling voice in return for human feet. Ursula is part human and octopus. Nothing is more charming than an inconspicuous Disney tattoo.

Watercolour tattoos are basic, classy, and ending up progressively well known to boot. With its unobtrusive ombre impact and carefully set lines, this guileful, ravishing fox will have everyone's eyes on you!
Targeted delivery of protein and gene medicines through the blood-brain barrier. The development of biologic drugs (recombinant proteins, therapeutic antibodies, peptides, nucleic acid therapeutics) as new treatments of brain disorders has been difficult, and a major reason is the lack of transport through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) of these large molecule pharmaceuticals. Biologic drugs can be re-engineered as brain-penetrating neuropharmaceuticals using BBB molecular Trojan horse technology. Certain peptidomimetic monoclonal antibodies that target endogenous receptors on the BBB, such as the insulin or transferrin receptor, enable the re-engineering of biologic drugs that cross the BBB.
"The unexamined life is not worth living" – Socrates An imaginary dialogue between Socrates and Darwin on evolutionary ethics Let’s suppose Darwin is sharing his findings for the first time with Socrates about what he calls “Zoral” behaviour and imagine how a conversation between them would unfold. Darwin: I have discovered a unique set of behaviours that humans have. I call it Zoral Behaviour. Socrates: Zoral behaviour?Tell me more, what exactly does it entail? Darwin: Well basically, it is a unique set of behaviours that humans have developed during the evolutionary process which has led to the overall survival and flourishing of the human species. Behaviours such as nurturing offspring and co-operation among groups. Behaviour that is directed towards the flourishing of the group and not fulfilling individual pleasures. Evolution has endowed man with a unique Zoral sense which is the motive feelings that drives survival and puts the group over the individual. “Zoral sense” names a set of innate traits that, in appropriate circumstances, move the individual to act in specific ways for the flourishing and survival of the species. Socrates: Sounds fascinating Darwin, as you know my concern has always been with answering the question of what is the good and virtuous life? Perhaps your biology holds the keys. Let me summarize what you have said to avoid confusion. Zoral behaviour is a unique type of behaviour that humans have developed during evolution. It is behaviour that stems from a strong feeling within the individual to cooperate with the group in order to ensure the survival of the human species and to increase it’s flourishing. Darwin: Well because it leads to the survival and flourishing of humans. Socrates: Wait Darwin I think you might be creating a circular argument. You have already defined Zoral behaviour as behaviour that leads to humans flourishing. So now what you are saying is behaviour that leads to human flourishing is good because it leads to human flourishing. How do you come to the conclusion that human flourishing is good from your empirical observations? My question to put it to you another way then – why is any behaviour that leads to human flourishing good? Darwin: Well because human flourishing is the highest good. Isn’t it obvious that the survival and flourishing of human beings is a good thing? Socrates: I definitely feel that way however how I feel is not a measure of whether something is the case. My feelings simply tell me what my mental subjective state is, and from my history I can tell you that they have often led me astray. So saying human flourishing is good because we feel it is good- is invalid. The central question Darwin is why is human flourishing the highest good? What part of your empirical observations have led you to the conclusion that human flourishing is the highest good? Darwin: I don’t know, I guess then simply because certain human behaviour leads to human flourishing it does not necessarily follow that the behaviour is good, unless one has already assumed that human flourishing is good. Which just begs the questions.So to say something is good cannot depend on our own subjective feelings, nor can it be derived from our empirical observations. Yes, If…men were reared under precisely the same conditions as hive-bees, there can hardly be a doubt that our unmarried females would, like the worker-bees, think it a sacred duty to kill their brothers, and mothers would strive to kill their fertile daughters; and no one would think of interfering. Socrates: Yes which is why all the great thinkers such as Plato, Immanual Kant, have realised that if moral goodness is to objectively exist it cannot be empirically found in nature alone. Morality transcends nature and we use it to interpret and judge our empirical observations. If morality is to be universal it cannot be the product of a particular contingent biological history. Universe morality cannot be a result of particular history that could have turned out differently, a history that only turned out like this by chance. If morality is to have the weight and obligation which we give it, it simply cannot be a product of chance. Nature alone cannot give us a secure basis for good and evil, right and wrong. Darwin:So what is basis of morality? There is no way any human being can make sense out of life without assuming moral values and duties exist. It is the basis of our laws and legal systems; the basis of our constitutions and human rights. So I cannot for one moment think that the entire edifice of what is right and wrong hangs on an illusion. I must know from where do moral values and duties come? Socrates: My disciple Plato presented a theory of forms. He said there is a world of forms or ideals where moral values and duties exist, they are unchanging, eternal, absolute and unchanging. In fact each moral value such as goodness, beauty, justice, courage would have its ideal in the platonic world of forms. Darwin: It seems to solve the problem in that the moral values have an objective existence that does not depend on human experiences. However it raises other problems. Firstly, if each moral value such as goodness, courage and justice exists would not immoral values also have their own ideals? Dishonesty, cowardice, hatred they would also exist. Which raises the problem of why then should I choose courage over cowardice – if both exist in this silent world of forms. What obligation do I have in choosing the ideal of courage rather than that of cowardice. Secondly, how can for example, the ideal of justice itself be just? We always refer to people and their actions as good or bad, just or unjust. A will and ability to choose seems to be a precondition for morality. How can impersonal (without a will and mind) ideals themselves be good or bad? Thirdly, if they do exist how would we know about them? Socrates: insightful observations Darwin, that’s a problem that Plato could not solve and it seems to imply a dualistic fundamental reality. Where good and bad values both exist objectively and the choice between the two becomes arbitrary. On how we know about the world of ideals- Plato suggested that our souls are eternal and existed in the world of forms before we are born. And we access knowledge of the forms through recollection, they are innate and not derived from experience but rather our experience acts as a catalyst to allow us to recall them. Darwin: So Plato’s theory in some aspects gets it right but not entirely. What is our other option? Socrates: The Algerian thinker St. Augustine thought he solved the problem when he said the good is God. The good is rooted in the uncreated, universal, eternal character of a personal God. And God’s commandments to us tell us what our moral duties are. How happiness ought to be obtained. Darwin: But did Plato not debunk grounding the good in God? He asked Euthyphro – Does God will and desire the good because it is good, or is the good good because God says and desires it? If you go with the first option then it means what is good does not depend on God in any way – God simply recognizes what is good and wills and desires it. In other words you could have what is morally good without God. Socrates: Go on.. Darwin: If you prefer the second option then what is good becomes arbitrary, if God demands and desires humans to rape another then that would be good simply because God has said it is. Socrates: So you have a bit of a dilemma then, if you go with the first option – you no longer need God for what is morally good to exist. If you go with the second option then what is good becomes arbitrary because raping babies can be be good if God says it is. Correct? Darwin: That is what Plato said. Socrates: I would like to suggest a third option. God’s character and nature is the good. Which means what God wills and desires is always in line with his character (which is perfectly good). It is impossible for God to will and desire that which is different or in contradiction with his character (which is perfectly good). Darwin: So what you are saying is firstly, God wills and loves the good because HE is good and not because IT is good. Secondly it is impossible for God to will and desire and command something that contradicts his nature. Therefore what is good is still dependent on God’s nature and it is not arbitrary. God could never say it is good to rape babies because it would be out of line with his character. Socrates: Yes Plato himself in the Republic admits, “But surely God and the things of God are in every way perfect” and further on adds “Then it is impossible that God should ever be willing to change; being; as supposed, the fairest and best that is conceivable…” Darwin: It seems then God’s character firmly secures the existence of what is morally good and right. Zoral behaviour is good because it leads to human flourishing which is good because it is in line with the character and will of God which gives us the basis for morality. Socrates: Absolutely correct Darwin, next time I would like to hear more about evolution by natural selection
In the eighth of this series, Rei and I have recovered from the invasion and now want to get summoned. After some time, we help a fellow bro defeat the Old Dragonslayer. This will give us the Token of Fidelity to enter the Blue Sentinels Covenant, which Rei II wants to become. Thus, we do so. We summon the mighty Masterless Glenour for the Dragonrider encounter. The man is beast and we have no issue whatsoever. We talk to our cleric friend and prepare to whoop up on some pirates.

Engineered synapse model cell: genetic construction and chemical evaluation for reproducible high-throughput analysis. Bioassay models of neural functions must lend themselves to high-throughput analysis in neural drug discovery. However, smart analysis methods for these functions have not yet been fully established. Here, we describe the development of a synapse model for cell-based biosensing. The engineered synapse model cell expresses ionotropic glutamate receptor on its surface, like the neural postsynaptic membrane. The advantages of the model cell are the ease of handling and reproducibility as compared with the cultured neural cell, and it can be employed to evaluate receptor function through ion flux analysis. The agonist-induced sodium influx was monitored as an agonist concentration-dependent increase in the observed fluorescence signal. Furthermore, we found that our model cell enables the correction of uneven cellular signal levels using a reporter system. Our engineered synapse model cell can be employed as a powerful tool for the screening of lead substances in pharmaceutical high-throughput analysis.

The Journal News of suburban Westchester, New York caused outrage by publishing an interactive map showing the names and addresses of New York’s legal firearm owners. In response, a blogger decided to create a map showing the names and addresses of employees of the newspaper. The blog, “Talk of the Sound,” a New Rochelle, New York-centric website, decided that turnabout was fair play by posting its headlined, “Map: Where are the Journal News employees in your neighborhood?.” The map replicates the gun owners map published by the Journal News, replacing gun owners with newspaper employees. When the Journal News published the names and addresses of New York’s legal gun owners, the paper claimed that they weren’t breaking the law as the information they published was all public record. The paper said it was just too bad if the gun owners felt their privacy was violated. This is, of course, quite true. But the interactive map of the newspaper employees is justifiable using the exact same logic. All the names of the employees are public knowledge and all one needs is a name to find an address, which is generally also in public records that anyone can find. Newspaper employees may be outraged that their privacy was violated, of course, but they didn’t seem to care much about privacy when they publicized the names and addresses of New York’s gun owners. Naturally, their own argument must be turned right back upon them and that is what “Talk of the Sound” did. Indeed, the newspaper employees are upset, and some are starting to erase their Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin accounts in response. Of course, none of this would have happened if the paper hadn’t decided to act in a political manner in the first place. After all, there is no news in the names and addresses of legal gun owners. These people aren’t criminals and these individuals have no bearing on the story of the Sandy Hook massacre. There was one reason and one reason only for the newspaper to publish the names and addresses of New York’s gun owners: intimidation. The paper meant to scare these law abiding citizens. It was nothing but a bullying tactic. Worse, by taking this action, the Journal News intended to put New York’s law abiding firearm owners on the same level as the murderer at Sandy Hook Elementary. Still, turn about really is fair play. If The Journal can claim a right to publish “public records” then so can bloggers. Another blog, For What It’s Worth, also has an extensive list of Journal News employees.

A variety of devices have recently been developed to capture and process handwritten information. For example, devices have been developed to capture handwritten information and to convert the handwritten information into text utilizing various character recognition techniques. This text can then be further processed, transmitted or otherwise utilized in the same fashion as text that has been entered via a keyboard or the like. In addition, devices have been developed that capture handwritten information and thereafter maintain the handwritten information in handwritten form for subsequent transmission, display or the like. For example, the handwritten information may be a map, a diagram or other drawing, or a document that includes Asian language characters that are not easily entered using standard keyboards. As such, these devices generally maintain an image of the handwritten information for subsequent transmission or display. The devices that capture handwritten information are computing devices such as a pen-enabled computing device. A pen-enabled computing device enables the user to input handwritten information with a writing stylus instead of a mouse or a keyboard. In this regard, a pen-enabled computing device includes a handwriting capture interface. The handwriting capture interface may be a touch-sensitive screen and an associated processor for determining the coordinates that have been contacted by a writing stylus. Alternatively, the handwriting capture interface may include an electronic writing tablet having an overlaid writing surface. The writing surface may include, for example, a blank sheet of paper or a preprinted form. By writing upon the writing surface by means of a writing stylus, the user generates a visible, or “written ink,” copy of the handwritten information. The handwriting capture interface of this exemplary pen-enabled computing device also includes a processor for detecting movement of the writing stylus upon the electronic writing tablet, i.e., relative to the writing surface, in order to capture an “electronic” copy of the handwritten information. Depending upon the design of the handwriting capture interface, the writing stylus may be a conventional pen or pencil, and the stylus may have a radio transmitter, a camera, an ultrasound transducer, any of a variety of magnetic or electric field devices, or any combinations thereof. As will be apparent, the pen-enabled computing device may be capable of producing both an electronic ink and a written ink copy of the handwritten information. Since the writing stylus is generally capable of providing a written ink copy of the handwritten information on the writing surface, the user is automatically provided with a hard copy, or visual feedback. It is understood, however, that a written ink copy of the handwritten information may not be provided in some instances, such as those instances in which the handwritten information is only captured and stored by the pen-enabled computing device as an electronic copy. Typically, a pen-enabled computing device senses the position and/or movement of the writing stylus with respect to the electronic writing tablet. Coordinates, such as the X and Y coordinates, representative of the position of the writing stylus at different points in time are stored by the pen-enabled computing device as the electronic copy of the handwritten data. The handwritten data is then often used for other purposes, such as by being incorporated into documents or being displayed. In order for the handwritten data to be subsequently utilized, it is sometimes translated from the handwritten form to text form. While text translation schemes may facilitate practical uses for the handwritten data, they are often not able to accurately translate the handwritten information. In addition, translation routines may impose additional processing and storage requirements that may disadvantageously add to the size and cost of the pen-enabled computing device. Moreover, certain handwritten information, such as maps, diagrams or other drawings, and documents containing Asian language characters, is highly usable in image form. Thus, the demand for pen-enabled computing devices that are capable of utilizing handwritten information for subsequent purposes, such as processing, transmission or the like, without requiring the handwritten information to first be translated into text form is increasing. In a number of applications, the handwritten information that is captured by a pen-enabled computing device is designed to be transmitted to another, remotely located computing device. For example, a user may wish to provide a friend or co-worker in another town with a hand-drawn map. In these applications, the pen-enabled computing device is therefore one component of a larger system or network which permits the handwritten information that has been captured by the pen-enabled computing device to be transmitted to another remote computing device. In this situation, the pen-enabled computing device can include a transmitter for transmitting the handwritten data to a server, either via the Internet, wirelessly or according to some other transmission medium. The server then further distributes the handwritten data to the remote computing device, also via the Internet, wirelessly or according to some other transmission medium. The recipient can then display or otherwise process the handwritten data that has been received by the remote computing device. Systems that include pen-enabled computing devices are desirably designed such that the resulting image of the handwritten information that is displayed for the recipient by the remote computing device accurately reflects the original handwritten information that was entered by the user and does so in a manner that is aesthetically pleasing. As such, the processor of some conventional pen-enabled computing devices smoothes the handwritten information prior to transmission of the handwritten information. As such, the image of the handwritten information that is eventually displayed to the recipient will appear to be less jagged and will appear to more accurately represent the handwritten information originally entered by the user. In order to smooth the handwritten information, the processor initially captures a plurality of coordinates representative of the position of the writing stylus relative to the electronic writing table at different instances in time, thereby defining one or more writing strokes. In order to display the handwritten information, the coordinate data is rendered into an image by utilizing line-drawing techniques known to those skilled in the art. The resulting image can be smoothed, such as by applying antialiasing techniques known to those skilled in the art. In this regard, antialiasing techniques adjust the gray-scale values of the pixels of the image in the vicinity of the lines such that the resulting lines appear to be smoother and have fewer sharp edges or corners. By way of example, the gray-scale values of the pixels along a line perpendicular to the line constructed by the line-drawing techniques can be modified to create a relatively smoothly shaped profile, as opposed to the relatively rectangular profile otherwise created by the line-drawing techniques. By repeating this process at each of a plurality of points along the line constructed by the line-drawing techniques, the image of the handwritten information can be smoothed. Sometimes, the resolution of the handwritten information will also need to be changed from the resolution at which the handwritten information was captured to a new resolution at which an image of the handwritten information will be subsequently displayed. In instances in which it would be desirable to increase the resolution of the handwritten information, such as in instances in which the image of the handwritten information will be displayed in an enlarged manner by the remote computing device, a pen-enabled computing device may further process the handwritten information prior to its transmission to the remote computing device such that the resulting image of the handwritten information displayed by the remote computing device has a resolution that equals or exceeds the resolution at which the handwritten information was originally captured. In order to improve the resolution of the handwritten information, the processor of the pen-enabled computing device can create new points in the vicinity of the coordinates that define the handwritten information. For example, the processor can create new points in the vicinity of adjacent coordinates by means of known interpolation, approximation or curve-fitting techniques, such as cubic polynomial interpolation, approximation or curve-fitting, in order to effectively create additional coordinates near each original pair of adjacent coordinates. The image of the handwritten information provided to the remote computing device is therefore based not only upon the original coordinates captured by the handwriting capture interface, but also upon the additional coordinates created by interpolation, approximation or curve-fitting. As such, the resolution of the resulting image is effectively enhanced. As will be apparent, the smoothing of the handwritten information and the creation of new points in the vicinity of the adjacent coordinates in order to improve the resolution of the handwritten information each impose substantial processing, memory and communications bandwidth requirements, thereby disadvantageously increasing the cost and decreasing the efficiency of the pen-enabled computing device and communications channel. The imposition of additional memory, processing and communications bandwidth requirements is especially disadvantageous for pen-enabled computing devices, however, since many pen-enabled computing devices are hand-held devices, such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), personal communications systems (PCSs), or other hand-held computing devices, which are designed to be as small, lightweight, and generally inexpensive as practical. Moreover, if the processor and/or memory of the pen-enabled computing device are undersized, smoothing of the handwritten data and creation of new points in the vicinity of adjacent coordinates may require inordinately long periods of time, thereby somewhat restricting use of the pen-enabled computing device. Additionally, the user of the pen-enabled computing device may be unable to anticipate the manner in which the remote computing device will display or otherwise utilize the handwritten information, thereby preventing the handwritten information from being effectively smoothed or the resolution of the handwritten information from being appropriately adjusted prior to transmission to the remote computing device. With the proliferation of e-mail, instant messaging, and other electronic communication techniques, a variety of different types of information are routinely transmitted between parties. For example, information such as text, pictures, drawings, links to web sites and the like, is routinely transmitted from one party to another. In order to transmit both the handwritten as well as the additional information to a remote computing device, either in a single message or in separate messages, the memory, processing and communications bandwidth requirements of the pen-enabled computing device are further disadvantageously increased. Moreover, if the additional information relates to or is otherwise associated with the handwritten information and is transmitted in another message, the recipient must appropriately associate or relate the handwritten information and the additional information that are delivered via separate messages. While a variety of conventional pen-enabled computing devices are available for capturing and processing handwritten information, it would be desirable for the images of the handwritten information that are eventually displayed to be smoothed and to have improved resolution without unnecessarily increasing the processing, memory and communications bandwidth requirements and, accordingly, the cost of the pen-enabled computing devices. Similarly, it would be desirable for a pen-enabled computing device to be capable of transmitting messages that include both handwritten information and some additional information without unnecessarily increasing the processing, memory and communications bandwidth requirements of the pen-enabled computing device.
I’m not debating the issue of whether the rich get better treatment under the tax laws than the poor or middle class do, I just think he full of crap and is making comments in the press for some political reason. If he thinks he isn’t paying enough, just don’t fill out your tax form to squeeze every deduction. If he honestly feels that one or more deduction is unfair to the poor, or an advantage to the rich, don’t take it. Put your money where your mouth is. Falling back on the old saw that he’s “only following the rules” is a bunch of crap. Deductions are “allowed”, not “required”. I’m sure Mr. Buffett didn’t get where he is by following everyrule and law to the letter.

The Kurdish YPG fighters claim they have reached a deal to allow Syrian government troops to enter Afrin in the northwestern part of the border town. Nuri Mahmoud, a spokesman for the People's Protection Units (YPG), told Al Jazeera on Monday that they are calling on the Syrian government forces "to preserve a united Syria", in a development that could mean regime forces might directly confront Turkish troops in the region. {articleGUID} Turkey and Free Syrian Army (FSA) - an Ankara-backed armed Syrian opposition group - last month launched an air and ground operation into Afrin to push the US-backed YPG fighters out to create a buffer zone on its southern border. Ankara considers YPG, which controls Afrin, a "terrorist" organisation. "Syrian soldiers haven't yet arrived. We are calling on the Syrian army to protect Afrin, because we'd love to preserve a unified Syria," Mahmoud told Al Jazeera. "We are saying this because the international community continues to address the Syrian leadership as sovereign and we call on this authority to protect its territory." He added that the Syrian government forces are expected to arrive within two days. No Turkish response yet Turkish authorities contacted by Al Jazeera refrained from making immediate comments on the Kurdish side's claims, saying that Turkey considers the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), active in Syria, and its armed wing YPG, to be "terrorist groups" with ties to the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). {articleGUID} The PKK has waged a decades-long armed fight against the Turkish state that has killed tens of thousands of people. The PYD/YPG has come to control large swaths of northern Syria, including Afrin, in the course of the Syrian war as it led the US-backed umbrella organisation Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group. The US support for SDF has infuriated Turkey and created the ongoing diplomatic crisis between the two NATO allies. The latest development highlights the complex battlefield of northern Syria, which hosts a high number of actors, including the PYD/YPG, the Syrian government, rebel factions, Turkey, the US and Russia.
Q: Most efficient/elegant way to calculate Num Users for Current Month I have the following which seems to function ok but looks like I might have done my usual trick of not keeping as simple as possible - what is the elegant version of this measure? Num Users for Current Month = VAR MaxMonth = MONTH(LASTDATE(ALL('Date'[Day Marker]))) VAR MaxYear = YEAR(LASTDATE(ALL('Date'[Day Marker]))) RETURN CALCULATE( [Num Users] ,FILTER( 'Date', MONTH('Date'[Day Marker]) = MaxMonth && YEAR('Date'[Day Marker]) = MaxYear ) ) A: With this code you are not selecting the current month. You are selecting the last available month in your selection of dates. I would rather expand my date table with an extra field: IsCurrentMonth: IsCurrentMonth = IF ( YEAR ( Date[Date] ) = YEAR ( TODAY () ) && MONTH ( Date[Date] ) = MONTH ( TODAY () ), "Yes", "No" ) Then you measure can be rewritten towards: CALCULATE([Num Users], Date[IsCurrentMonth]="yes")
Effect of polymer-surfactant association on colloidal force. We investigate the forces between emulsion droplets in the presence of neutral polymer-surfactant complexes. The polymer used in our experiment was statistical copolymer of polyvinyl alcohol. The anionic surfactant used is sodiumdodecyl sulphate, the cationic surfactants are cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, and the nonionic surfactant is nonylphenol ethoxylate (NP10). It has been found that the force profiles in the presence of surfactant-polymer complexes follow an exponential scaling with a characteristic decay length, close to the radius of gyration of the polymer alone. A continuous increase in the onset of repulsion is observed in the case of all three ionic surfactants, whereas no such variation was noticed in the case of nonionic surfactant, NP10. The experimental observations suggest that in the presence of charged surfactant molecules or micelles, the neutral polymer chain at the interface is converted into partial polyelectrolytes, where the charges on the chain repel each other and the electrostatic repulsion collectively leads to chain stretching. These results suggest that the associative polymers can be potential candidates for making the emulsions stable for a sufficiently long period.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - A Baton Rouge woman says she was told someone had been buried on top of her grandmother's grave. When she went to the Lutheran Cemetery in Baton Rouge, she found that was not true. But the condition of the cemetery caught her attention. The owners say they are well aware of how the grounds look, but there's nothing they can do about it right now.
Q: What spring-beans and spring-context are used for? I am just curious about what <groupId>org.springframework</groupId <artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId> dependency is used for? The same question is about spring-context. I don't see explicit dependencies on this module. How are they used by spring? Why aren't they included into spring-core? A: Spring Framework is separated to clarify and minimise dependencies of their parts and you can minimise the needed dependencies of your project. All the three libraries you mentioned are part of the core container where spring-context depends on spring-beans and spring-beans depends on spring-core. Some Spring libraries have fewer dependencies like spring-expression only depending on core but not on beans or context: spring-context +- spring-beans +- spring-core spring-expression +- spring-core spring-webmvc +- spring-web +- spring-context \- spring-aop +- spring-context \- spring-expression (simplified, not showing all transitive dependencies, when using maven try mvn dependency:tree) So the maintainer of spring-expression only has to deal with spring-core. Less dependencies make responsibilities and possibilities more clear. And it prevents you from using "all" available which makes getting rid of deprecated APIs much more difficult. Each of the libraries has it's own (non Spring) dependencies. To upgrade any of them would become hard if everyone in the Spring ecosystem and any project depending on Spring would simply directly depend of all. One of the reasons most OpenSource libraries moved away from that '*-all" dependency style to separate modules with clear dependencies on each other. For more explanation see also the official Introduction to the Spring Framework : Core Container.

"Twelve days later, an actor named John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Lincoln. Davis and his cabinet had just arrived in Charlotte when he heard the news. Davis responded, “I certainly have no special regard for Mr. Lincoln; but there are a great many men of whose end I would much rather have heard than this. I fear it will be disastrous for our people and I regret it deeply.” " Was Jefferson Davis guilty or innocent of treason? This question was never answered in a court of law because the U.S. Govt. feared the possibility that Davis would be vindicated if tried for treason and that secession would be found to have been a constitutional right of the States.
The present invention relates to speaker mounting systems, and more particularly, to universal speaker mounting devices for mounting speaker cabinets to different support surfaces in a variety of configurations. It is well known that the performance of high fidelity speaker systems is significantly effected by the placement and orientation of the speaker cabinets. The growing popularity of stereophonic and quadraphonic high fidelity systems employing two or four speaker systems, respectively, has rendered proper speaker placement and orientation even more important. Specifically, most high fidelity speaker systems are somewhat directional, making it desirable to orient the speaker toward the anticipated listener area. Such proper speaker orientation is often facilitated by mounting the speaker cabinet above floor level. Known methods of installing high fidelity speakers so that they are located off the floor generally use standard hardware components such as hooks and eyes, wire, L-shaped brackets and so forth, and are relatively cumbersome. Speakers are quite difficult to mount and orient with such components and after they are so mounted, it is difficult to change their location or orientation. Also, such hardware components are often unsightly, and as a result of these and other reasons, high fidelity speakers used in the home are often located on the floor, and a loss of performance is merely tolerated.
Cell-state dynamics and therapeutic resistance in melanoma from the perspective of MITF and IFNγ pathways. Targeted therapy and immunotherapy have greatly improved the prognosis of patients with metastatic melanoma, but resistance to these therapeutic modalities limits the percentage of patients with long-lasting responses. Accumulating evidence indicates that a persisting subpopulation of melanoma cells contributes to resistance to targeted therapy or immunotherapy, even in patients who initially have a therapeutic response; however, the root mechanism of resistance remains elusive. To address this problem, we propose a new model, in which dynamic fluctuations of protein expression at the single-cell level and longitudinal reshaping of the cellular state at the cell-population level explain the whole process of therapeutic resistance development. Conceptually, we focused on two different pivotal signalling pathways (mediated by microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) and IFNγ) to construct the evolving trajectories of melanoma and described each of the cell states. Accordingly, the development of therapeutic resistance could be divided into three main phases: early survival of cell populations, reversal of senescence, and the establishment of new homeostatic states and development of irreversible resistance. On the basis of existing data, we propose future directions in both translational research and the design of therapeutic strategies that incorporate this emerging understanding of resistance.
Q: Semantic UI, difference between table and grid? I'd like to create a multiple rows + multiple columns view. I think I can either use table or grid. Which one should I use over another and why? A: Summary Grid Using a grid makes content appear to flow more naturally on your page. Table A standard table. from Semantic-UI Explained Grids The CSS Grid Layout specification is one of a few new specifications that are redefining how we approach layout for the web. Alongside Flexbox and the Box Alignment Module it will become part of a modern layout system for websites and web applications. from Grid by Example Table Table is just a layout, and could be complex for complex views. Just think in spreadsheets. You can merge columns and rows to get your layout. Opinion You can use the option you want, according to your needs. But if you are looking to organize your web content, use grids; If you need to deploy data use tables.

Q: Exit outer loop from subroutine without logical variable Following minimal example: L1: do while(.true.) L2: do while(.true.) if(something=.true.) exit L1 end do L2 end do L1 So now i want to write the inner Loop L2 into a subroutine within a seperate module to link them together when compiling the code, like gfortran main.f95 innerloop.o -o somename module innerloop contains subroutine innerloop() L2: do..... if(something=.true.) exit L1 ... end module innerloop I get various errors, even when i set the loops name to a global character via a module with global variabels. Because of a huge number of various if cases it is no idea to define a globle variable as a flag and do something like: if(something=.true.) exitvar=.true. and then to write an if-case behind every subroutine or function if the variable is .true. or not and exit all the loops step by step. Is there another way to exit an outer loop from an inner one within a seperate subroutine in de module? A: Your approach breaches Fortran's rules concerning the scope of 'jumps', whether they be exits or gotos or similar constructs. In other words you can forget about exit-ing from a labelled do-loop in the way you propose. I get various errors, even when i set the loops name to a global character Yes, the construct-name on a do (or similar) construct is not a character variable or constant or any other thing that can be set during execution. This, Fortran's sanity on the scoping of jumps, is a good thing which makes it harder to write spaghetti code. You don't want to use a global variable as a flag, nor should you want to. Use a local variable, perhaps something like this module innerloop contains subroutine innerloop(l1return) logical, intent(out) :: l1return l1return = .false. L2: do..... if (something) then l1return = .true. exit L2 end if ... end module innerloop Yes, you now have to test whether the subroutine finished early or not, but that is a small price to pay to avoid the madness that follows from unconstrained jumping from scope to scope.
[Identification of temporal epileptic seizures using percutaneous sphenoidal electrodes]. The authors have evaluated the indications, methods and results of sphenoidal electrodes in epilepsy. This method makes it possible to study the hippocampal area which cannot be studied by extracranial electrodes. It also localizes in a temporal lobe complex seizures without electrical events, or complex seizures giving bilateral temporal spikes or a fronto-temporal focus of spikes. It may even show evidence of temporal focus in cases with bilateral and synchronous spikes. Thus, sphenoidal electrodes enable temporal seizures to be identified and localized, leading to more specific neuroradiological explorations and therefore helping in the selection of patients for specific surgery.
Speech recognition involves the translation of spoken words, typically recorded by a microphone, into text. Speech recognition is used in a variety of different applications. With the rise in popularity of mobile devices, such as smartphones, and of in-dash computing systems utilized in vehicles, there has been an increase in use of speech recognition software. Despite advances in speech recognition algorithms, accuracy of results still remains a problem. As the size of the vocabulary (also known as a dictionary) grows, accuracy declines due to the fact that there are more words that could be confused with one another. Thus, as the number of different applications that utilize speech recognition grows, there is a desire to provide for larger and larger vocabularies.

Author. Activist. Working-class femme Perhaps no sexual minority is more maligned or misunderstood than trans women. As a group, we have been systematically pathologised by the medical and psychological establishment, sensationalised and ridiculed by the media, marginalised by mainstream lesbian and gay organisations, dismissed by certain segments of the feminist community, and, in too many instances, been made the victims of violence at the hands of men who feel that we somehow threaten their masculinity and heterosexuality. Rather than being given the opportunity to speak for ourselves on the very issues that affect our own lives, trans women are instead treated more like research subjects: Others places us under their microscopes, dissect our lives, and assign motivations and desires to us that validate their own theories and agendas regarding gender and sexuality.

Q: Is there a word to call the second rainbow above the first? As is known, a double rainbow is formed when there are two reflections inside a raindrop and a second rainbow, which tends to be fainter than the first, is distinguishable above the first. Since in 'Shakespeare's Non-Standard English: A Dictionary of His Informal Language' by Norman Blake I found that, as an instance, 'water-gall' means 'small rainbow which at sea precede a storm', I began to wonder whether there is also a word to call that second rainbow. Is there? Yes, I know that second rainbow or secondary rainbow or even faint rainbow can be used, but I'm looking for an informal or slangy name. A: The specific one OP is talking about is called the secondary rainbow (as opposed to the primary). There can be more than two. All except the primary are loosely called "supernumerary" rainbows, but supernumerary/stacker rainbow is also a specialised term for multiple bows appearing inside the primary, which are caused by lightwave interference rather than reflection by water droplets. A: It's usually called a double rainbow in the US. Although I misunderstood the question originally (I did not realize that you were looking for a specific piece of a rainbow), apparently, the actual scientific term for the primary and secondary rainbows are just that, as explained by this guide.
Exhaustive crystal structure search and crystal modeling of beta-chitin. An exhaustive search of the crystal structure of beta-chitin was carried out by simultaneously optimizing all the structural parameters based on published X-ray diffraction data and stereochemical criteria. The most probable structure was characterized by a parallel-up chain polarity, a gg orientation of hydroxymethyl groups and an intermolecular hydrogen bond along the a-axis, which essentially reproduced the original structure proposed by Gardner and Blackwell. The proposed crystal structure was subsequently subjected to crystal modeling using the AMBER force field. The probable orientation of hydroxyl groups and their motional behaviors is proposed based on calculations for the crystal models identified. Solvated crystal models exhibited a slightly deformed structure with the formation of appreciable numbers of hydrogen bonds along the b-axis.

I was having a problem binding some data to a page, and it turned out to be an incorrect casing. I had: <small>{{s.timeslot.name}}</small> at <small>{{s.room.name}}</small> when I should have had: <small>{{s.timeSlot.name}}</small> at <small>{{s.room.name}}</small> That's fine, but I just can't understand why. The data is returned from Web API with this method (note no camelcase on timeslots): [HttpGet] public object Lookups() { var rooms = _repository.Rooms; var tracks = _repository.Tracks; var timeslots = _repository.TimeSlots; return new { rooms, tracks, timeslots }; } An angular service called datacontext.js has the following object to map between (at least to my understanding) Web API names and Breeze entity names. var entityNames = { attendee: 'Person', person: 'Person', speaker: 'Person', session: 'Session', room: 'Room', track: 'Track', timeslot: 'TimeSlot' } There are some further functions that involve caching data, and extending the model on the client, but nowhere is there a reference to timeSlot (with camelCase). What is happening here, is a convention for HTML casing being enforced by Angular? EDIT: Thanks to Ward for the answer. For anyone following the same course who has a similar question, breeze.NamingConvention.camelCase.setAsDefault() is called in entityManagerFactory.js. A: The problem is a bit of "sloppiness" in the spelling of "TimeSlot" in various places. Your binding to "s" is a binding to the Session type. The Session type itself dictates the spelling of any of its navigation properties. Everything else is irrelevant. The metadata for Session is generated on the server based on the C# "Session" class. There you will find that the navigation property is spelled "TimeSlot". Your client is using the Breeze NamingConvention.camelCase to translate between the preferred PascalCasing of C# and the preferend camelCasing in JavaScript apps. Therefore, on the Breeze client you should expect "TimeSlot" navigation property to become "timeSlot". Entity names are not translated by the NamingConvention (at this time). The C# type, "TimeSlot" is also spelled "TimeSlot" for the JavaScript type. Every other spelling everywhere else is irrelevant for this binding. You may find the "Query result debugging" documentation topic helpful.
Direct-to-consumer online genetic testing and the four principles: an analysis of the ethical issues. The development of genetic tests marketed and sold direct-to-consumers (DTC) via the internet raises moral concerns and debate about their appropriateness and ethical and clinical significance. These tests are offered for a wide range of diseases and conditions, and the mutations have variable penetrance and associated risk. A number of these tests lack data on their accuracy and reliability, making interpretation of results difficult. DTC genetic testing is undertaken outside the context of the physician-patient relationship and may lack appropriate individual and family genetic counseling, leaving the consumer vulnerable to potential harms, such as misinterpretation of results, including false positive or false reassurance, with limited or no benefits. Beauchamp and Childress's four principles of biomedical ethics provide a framework for analyzing the ethical issues raised by DTC genetic testing. We argue that the potential harms outweigh the potential benefits of such tests, that respect for autonomy should be limited in light of potential harm from DTC testing, and that the availability of genetic testing over the internet may be considered unfair and unjust and affect resource allocation by placing an unfair burden on primary care physicians. In light of the moral issues posed by these tests, practical responses are suggested in the areas of consumer education, medical education, and interaction with commercial companies.
I know, you're wondering "What job?" I've been keeping quiet on this because I didn't want to jinx myself. But my supervisor resigned recently and I applied for his position, and they offered me the job on Friday. This is a significant promotion for me, so you’ll excuse me while I shout WOOHOOOOO! But now you ask, "Friday?? Today is Monday! Why has it taken you so long to share this exciting news?" All I can say, Internet, is that life comes before blogging. And it just so happens that we had already secured a babysitter for Friday night so Pa and I could go see The Reverend Horton Heat at The Blue Note. That made it easy for us to celebrate, and I was prepared to get wild on the dance floor. Alas, this was my first time seeing The Reverend, and I had no idea what was in store for me. Meanwhile, my mother is reading this and wondering when I started going to church on Friday nights (or at all, for that matter) and what is this Blue Note Church? Click the links, mom, and keep praying for your heathen daughter;) So there I was on a Friday night dressed in a baseball shirt, a micro mini skirt and combat boots, ready to get wild. The dance floor was standing room only, and looking around I recognized some of my stepdaughter's friends, including one of Hercules' Adventure Club instructors. This might make some people feel old, but not me. It just affirms my youthful spirit! The energy in the room was high, and I was eager to get my groove on. While we waited, Pa asked me how I felt about moshing. "Moshing? Do people mosh to rockabilly?" Ah, famous last words. Sure enough, they do mosh to rockabilly! Or rather, punkabilly. Now, I used to date guys that would wear their moshpit-blackened eyes like badges of honor, but I never did get the whole appeal of moshing. It's like a barroom brawl without the chairs and it doesn’t matter who you’re mad at, you just throw punches wildly. It's just one big, happy, angry mob of flailing fists and flinging bodies and I guess some people think that's fun. I am not one of those people. I am, however, a good sport. While I tried my best to dance without elbowing everyone around me, the moshing kids frequently moshed in my direction. I learned to simply hold up my hands and shove them back into the moshing mayhem. They didn't seem to mind, so I kept shoving whenever a body flung itself in my direction. I had a relatively safe spot on the perimeter of the mosh pit, so aside from the occasional runaway mosher, I managed to avoid getting punched, elbowed, or trampled. Which is more than I can say for the moshers themselves. I did, however, get a lot of beer spilled on me. Which was okay, because everyone on the dance floor was inevitably baptized in yeasty brews, so our stench was just another sign of our fellowship. We came! We moshed! We stink! Despite the adventures we were having at the edge of the moshpit, the confines of the dance floor could only contain so much activity, and it was not at all conducive to actual dancing. It was mosh or be crushed, there was no middle ground. We made our way upstairs and watched the show from the balcony for a while so we could gawk at all those crazy kids from a safe distance. Finally, the music and the moshing just seemed kind of repetitive, so we left and that was the end of our celebration. The Reverend puts on a great show, don't get me wrong. But my youthful spirit can only endure so much youthful madness. And moshing is madness, however entertaining it may be for the bystanders.

The release of the trailer of PM Narendra Modi’s Biopic created a hustle among different political parties in the biggest festival of democracy. The different opposition parties started blaming Bhartiya Janta Party claiming it as a political stunt of Modi. The actor Vivek Oberoi, playing the role of Narendra Modi also faced criticism. The film was scheduled to release on 5th April but due to intervention of court it was postponed. Today, the apex court of India (Supreme Court) dismisses the plea against stay on the film made as a biopic of present Prime Minister of India: Narendra Modi. The court said that the Election Commission is the appropriate body to decide this concern. Election Commission is the only constitutional body who can decide whether the Moral Code of Conduct is violated or not due to the release of the trailer of PM Modi’s Biopic. The court even refused to watch the trailer of the film. The Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said that the certificate for the film is yet to be produced and directed the Election commission to decide whether the film is giving any political mileage to the ruling party. With all your blessings, support and love,today we have won in the Honorable Supreme Court! A humble thank you to all of you and to the Indian juidiciary 🙏 for upholding our faith in democracy! Thursday 11th April. Jai Hind🇮🇳 🇮🇳 #PMNarendraModiWinshttps://t.co/fJLlgyslHQ
Q: onBindViewHolder вызывается, даже если areContentsTheSame возвращает true В статье про DiffUtil сказано, что биндинг (метод onBindViewHolder) должен вызываться только для тех item-ов адаптера, для которых произошло обновление данных, а если данные не изменились - вызываться не должен. И я реализовала свой класс, который наследуется от DiffUtil.Callback(), и его метод areContentsTheSame отрабатывает правильно - возвращает true, если item не изменился, и false - если изменился. Но метод onBindViewHolder вызывается всегда, вне зависимости от того, что возвращает areContentsTheSame. В чём может быть причина этого? A: Общая схема использовании DiffUtil выглядит так: // берём старые данные List oldList = mAdapter.getData(); // сравниваем с новыми и получаем результат сравнения DiffResult result = DiffUtil.calculateDiff(new MyCallback(oldList, newList)); // меняем данные в адаптере на новые mAdapter.setData(newList); // уведомляем адаптер об изменениях result.dispatchUpdatesTo(mAdapter); Соответственно обычные уведомления adapter.notify... вызывать не следует, вместо этого используется метод DiffUtil.DiffResult.dispatchUpdatesTo(Adapter), который уведомляет адаптер наиболее оптимальным способом.

- Hi, I'm Chef Jacques Pépin and this is "American Masters At Home". Well, today I'm going to show you how to make a seafood omelette. I love eggs in any form, but that's a bit different. So I have a few shrimp here. Whoop, in fact, this one's is a bit frozen burn here. So trim them. I have three, four small scallop, about four or five shrimp with a quarter of a cup of a mushroom, couple of scallion, five eggs. That could be plenty for doing an omelette main course for two. We have a spoon and a half of butter in there. So I'm going to cut those in like three piece. Three, four piece, doesn't really matter. And that'll cook very fast. Okay, here. The scallop...I'll cut them in like, meh, two or three piece, depending how big they are. You could have calamari in there. And actually, you can do that with, with fish as well. You know, I mean, if you have a piece of salmon, you want to do that, that will be fine. This...my mushroom here. I cut this way. The scallion, actually, you know, all of that, I'm going to put in the skillet together because the scallion will take as long, at least, as the shellfish to cook in. So...I am going to put this right in there. (sizzling) This is not going to take much more than three, four minutes to cook. So, put a bit of salt on top of it. A little bit of pepper. And, my eggs. I have five eggs here. (shell cracking) I buy my eggs to a friend of mine who has chicken next door, so those are really organic. Not only organic, but free range. And it makes a difference. And frankly, for the price of it, you should buy organic eggs as much as you can. Okay, here. Yeah. High temperature. So again here, salt, pepper... and maybe I'll put some chives in there directly. In France I always use a lot of those herbs when they come out of my garden, you know, in all of the dishes. Well, here we are. Okay. Well, I like to use, if I have some around, a little bit, maybe two tablespoon of cream or so, in my eggs, if you don't have it, fine. Milk, water, or nothing at all, it's okay. Just break the yolk here, with your fork. And make sure that you go from one end to the other end, not just turning in the middle, because you don't break the white and you want to break the white... so that you don't have any long strand of white. That's it. So this has been cooking, what, maybe minute, minute, and a half. And I know that those scallops, that's cooked enough. A little bit of olive oil, maybe a dash. And my eggs. In a conventional classic French omelette, I move things very, very fast, as fast as I can, to get the smallest possible curd. You know, and this is kind of French omelette which is very creamy in the center with very, very small curd, like scrambled eggs, basically. And that's one way of doing it. This, I like it with larger curd, where I wait a little bit like that to move this, to make some larger curd with this. But I mean, it's a question of, of taste. Shaking it like this. I know people who like the omelette this way inside, you know, very, very wet. I like it a bit wet inside, but not that much. Okay, again...here. But I think that, now, it is the way I like it. See, the wet a little bit inside. Clean that up around. I let it brown, which a classic French omelette, I don't really let it brown. And then you fold it. So, here, I'm using... a large spatula like this. To kinda fold it. I'm going to put a dash of olive oil here to get me some color. And to bring that lip here, back onto, I hit here, see that, make it lift up, and then you can press it back on top of it. On that one, I'm going to let it brown for a second. Then usually, you know, I'm moving this way. To unmold your omelette, you go the other way. You change hand, you put your hand, not this way, you put your hand underneath like this, you bang it on the side...of the table so that you're very close to the end so you can unmold it. That's it. The whole omelette now. And you can see that even the center of it is going to be very moist and creamy. This is a dish fit for a King. Mmm. Try that with your friends. Happy cooking.
Trends in geographic disparities in allocation of health care resources in the US. This study aimed to examine current level and historical trends in health resources distribution in the US; to investigate the relationships between both levels and trends of inequality with--geographic location, inequality of income and rates per capita of hospital-beds and physicians. The Gini Coefficient was used to measure variations in distribution of physicians and hospital-beds (at the county level) during three decades. Physician distribution has become less equitable, while hospital-beds' equity has increased. physicians' distribution exhibited a geographic trend, becoming more equitable in the West. No association was found between equality in hospital-beds' distribution and rates of hospital-beds per capita. Rates per capita might not be sufficient in determining availability of resources. Further research is needed to determine implications for health outcomes.
Making certain that nefarious diseases do not enter our country should be integral to the workings of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). For logic would suggest that to control a disease, one must control its movement or introduction. When illegal immigrants flow into the United States, the CDC cannot do their job. For this reason alone, the CDC should be protesting that which is transpiring regarding illegal immigration. They should be demanding a secure border. The apparent conclusion is that this agency has been politicized. Just one more on the list. We certainly wonder if a protest from the CDC will be prompted regarding lax immigration in the event that some unwanted viruses, or other health conditions, run rampant through our country. ( There are suggestions that this may be occurring ). Who will be responsible for standing down? Maybe some hard drives will disappear. The events on our southern border have prevented the CDC from executing crucial parts of their mission statement. Yet they protest not. Crickets. Their silence does this nation a tremendous disservice. The wisdom of the on the books laws, passed by those prior to this administration’s adulteration of the legal system, is clear. To prevent the spread of disease, immigrants must be filtered. There must be a process. “The health-related grounds include those aliens who have a communicable disease of public health significance, who fail to present documentation of having received vaccination against vaccine-preventable diseases, who have or have had a physical or mental disorder with associated harmful behavior, and who are drug abusers or addicts.” “A medical examination is mandatory for all refugees coming to the U.S. and all applicants outside the U.S. applying for an immigrant visa. Aliens in the United States who apply for adjustment of their immigration status to that of permanent resident are also required to be medically examined. Aliens applying for nonimmigrant visas (temporary admission) may be required to undergo a medical examination at the discretion of the consular officer overseas or immigration officer at the U.S. port of entry, if there is reason to suspect that an inadmissible health-related condition exists.” Who is telling the Centers for Disease Control to stand down on illegal immigration?

Q: Android Studio - how to have it generate an interface's stubbed function(s)? Since I've recently switched to A.S. I'm still getting accustomed to it, hence, this basic question... I'll be coding a class that implements an interface public class SomeClass implements SomeInterface {} Now, Android Studio will detect that I haven't yet implements concrete functions for the interface. Great, just like Eclipse ! It'll show the message class SomeClass must either be declared abstract or implement abstract method... etc However, the GUI doesn't show anything for me to click on so that the IDE will create stubbed functions for me; there's no icon and right-click also provides no intuitive direction to fix this. Eclipse provided solutions when I right-clicked, but A.S. doesn't seem as intuitive. What to do to make A.S. implement stubbed functions for me ? A: Put your text cursor in the red squiggled area for the error. Move your mouse to the left edge of the line. Click the red lightbulb icon. Choose "Implement Methods" from the drop-down menu. Or, press Ctrl-I. Or, choose Code > Implement Methods from the main menu.

Exhaust aftertreatment systems are used to receive and treat exhaust gas generated by engines (e.g., IC engines). Conventional exhaust gas aftertreatment systems include any of several different components to reduce the levels of harmful exhaust emissions present in exhaust gas. For example, certain exhaust aftertreatment systems for diesel-powered IC engines include a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst to convert NOx (NO and NO2 in some fraction) into harmless nitrogen gas (N2) and water vapor (H2O) in the presence of ammonia (NH3). Generally in such conventional aftertreatment systems, an exhaust reductant, (e.g., a diesel exhaust fluid such as urea) is injected into the aftertreatment system to provide a source of ammonia, and mixed with the exhaust gas to partially reduce the SOx and/or the NOx gases. The reduction byproducts of the exhaust gas are then fluidically communicated to the catalyst included in the SCR aftertreatment system to decompose substantially all of the SOx and/or NOx gases into relatively harmless byproducts which are expelled out of such conventional SCR aftertreatment systems. The aftertreatment system includes an injector which is configured to inject the exhaust reductant into the aftertreatment system. The injector can include nozzles, valves and/or pumps or other components. The injector is configured to inject a predetermined volume of the exhaust reductant into the aftertreatment system based on operating conditions. In conventional aftertreatment systems, the injector is disposed on an outside surface of the aftertreatment system and is in fluidic communication with the aftertreatment system. In such implementations, the injector is susceptible to damage by objects striking the injector. For example, when the aftertreatment system is included in a vehicle (e.g., a diesel engine operated vehicle), an injector disposed on the exterior of the aftertreatment system included in the vehicle is susceptible to impact from rocks, debris or other objects which can damage the injector leading to malfunction of the aftertreatment system and/or degrade the performance of the aftertreatment system.

Hand Warmer A mother and her young daughter were riding in an old car one cold morning. The daughter said to her mother, ´my hands are freezing cold.´. ´Put them between your legs, your body heat will warm them up´. Replied her mother. The daughter did and her hands warmed up. The next day, the daughter was riding with her boyfriend who said, ´my hands are freezing cold´. So the girl suggested he put them between her legs. He did, and warmed his hands. The following day, the boyfriend was again in the car with the daughter. ´my nose is cold´, he said. ´Put it between my legs, the warmth of my body will warm it up.´ suggested the daughter. So he did, and warmed his nose. The next day, the boyfriend was again driving with the daughter and said, ´My pen1s is frozen solid.´. The following day, the daughter was in the car with her mother, and she says to her mother,
Current issues Alarm clock goes off now, but is too quiet. vagalume crashes as soon as I try to play a radio station. Past problems Well, the first test did not go well. It looks nice and feels snappy, but it froze up completely within a few minutes of use. I had to remove the battery and reboot. Also, Midori did not show any address bar, and typing C-l did not help. So I was unable to actually enter a web address to browse to. The freezing has stopped, but there are other issues. The dialer crashes after pressing Call, with a resource not available error. Trac ticket explains that this is because SHR doesn't work / isn't tested with the andy-tracking kernel.

Choosing Your Destiny Within my post the Meaning of Life, I allude to my reason for writing it. I will now go more in depth. As anyone who knows me and my views, I am forever talking about knowing yourself. Knowing who you are is the key to knowing what you want, knowing what is truly important to you, and knowing what kinds of people you want in your life. I also talk about religion in the post. I do so in such a way as to get people to think about religion in a different way. I am not trying to get people to totally question their beliefs. What I want people to do is to think about why they believe the way they do. Do you believe the things you do because they are things you have thought about and came to those conclusions? Are you like most people that believe in things because you were taught to believe them? I don’t judge you either way. I do, however, encourage you to look deeper into your beliefs. If you believe in a religion or cause, shouldn’t you know a lot about it? If you don’t know much about it, then what do you believe in really? I, personally, am not going to say that I believe in something without knowing what it is. Christianity, for example, is something that I was exposed to early on. I was “saved” at the age of eleven, but didn’t really know what that meant. I was taught that I would now “go to heaven”. As the years went by, I started to wonder what it was really all about. I delved into the Bible like never before. I studied it relentlessly, using the Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance. I studied history on the origins of the Bible, and I used pure logic. I studied many other religions as well. I’ve read and/or studied the Necronomicon, the Quran, the Sepher Yetzirah, the Satanic Bible, the Books of Mormonism, the Kabbalah, Wicca, Hinduism, Buddhism, Catholicism, and a few others. While many of these are similar in belief sets, rules, or faiths, some of these are quite different. None of this is really relevant to my point, however. My point here is that you really know your faith or religion. Get to know more about it — where it comes from, why it exists, how long it has existed, and anything else you can possibly learn about it. Once you know these things, you can know if you truly believe or not. You will know it because what you choose to believe in feels right to you. If it doesn’t feel right, then you should really look into changing your faith. You can’t just believe in it because the rest of your family does, or your friends do. I mean, you can, but that isn’t really belief is it? Now we’ve come full circle. The reason I wrote the Meaning of Life is so that people would question their beliefs enough to look into them deeper. It was not my intent to make people abandon them completely. If that is what happened, then your beliefs were not all that strong, were they? Again, knowing yourself is a huge part of knowing what you believe in or stand for. How can you stand for something if you don’t even know who you are or what you believe in? I added links to the religions and books that I mentioned earlier for your convenience. Feel free to use them to learn more. I beg you to look into all your beliefs, not just those of a religious nature. I will touch on other topics of belief in future posts. Until then… live, learn, and grow!

Clinical relevance of cimetidine drug interactions. The excellent efficacy and tolerability profiles of H2-antagonists have established these agents as the leading class of antiulcer drugs. Attention has been focused on drug interactions with H2-antagonists as a means of product differentiation and because many patients are receiving multiple drug therapy. The main mechanism of most drug interactions involving cimetidine appears to be inhibition of the hepatic microsomal enzyme cytochrome P450, an effect which may be related to the different structures of H2-antagonists. Ranitidine appears to have less affinity than cimetidine for this system. There have been many published case reports and studies of drug interactions with cimetidine, but many of these have provided pharmacokinetic data only, with little information concerning the clinical significance of these findings. Nevertheless, the coadministration of cimetidine with drugs that have a narrow therapeutic margin (such as theophylline) may potentially result in clinically significant adverse effects. The monitoring of serum concentrations of drugs coadministered with cimetidine may reduce the risk of adverse events but does not abolish the problem. However, for most patients, concomitant administration of cimetidine with drugs possessing a wide therapeutic margin is unlikely to pose a significant problem.
Japanese companies are so notoriously gun-shy about shedding businesses especially to non-Japanese buyers that General Electric Co. Chief Executive Jeffrey Immelt joked at a speech in Tokyo two years ago that he hoped to acquire a Japanese company "some day in our lifetime." Some of the graduating seniors were fresh young reporters on the staff when the controversy exploded in their collective faces, and I would describe them as gun-shy about generating any more controversy.

[Ultrastructure of the adrenaline-synthesizing neurons of group A1 in the rat brain normally and under emotional stress]. Ultrastructure of A1 group, participating in the central regulation of cardio-vascular functions was studied in normal conditions and at early stages of an emotional stress. Normal adrenalin-synthesizing neurons of A1 group are characterized by a high intensity of processes of synthesis taking place in them. Abundant terminals, mainly adrenergic ones, which form varied contacts with neurons of A1 group, make a peculair feature. The hematoencephalic barrier in the area of A1 group as a sharply specific organization: transport of substances is mediated not only by pinocytosis, but also through fenestrated formations and through interendothelial spaces. Capillaries of the area studied have a powerful innervation--terminals immediately adjoin the vascular wall, sometimes penetrate into the basal membrane. An immediate contact between neurons and capillaries is noted. In the vicinity of the contact, the laminar complex is usually situated having increased in size vesicles, vacuoles, lysosomas, mitochondria; lobes of the invaginated nucleus are also directed towards this place. At an early stage of the emotional stress, when the arterial pressure is kept at the level close to the normal, rather essential changes are noted in neuronal ultrastructure, with significant spatial rearrangements including. Quantitative alterations of organells and reorganization of the neuronal ultrastructural apparatus results in formation of certain new properties and contribute to transformation of the neural cells to a more effective functional level.
A handful of clever star performers create disproportionate amounts of value for organisations, but they must be managed particularly astutely. WHAT THE BOOK SAYS You need a particularly astute approach to leading smart, creative people Research shows that a handful of star performers create disproportionate amounts of value for their organisations. They aren’t free agents who do this on their own – they need their organisation’s commercial and financial resources to fulfil their potential. These invaluable individuals are called ‘clevers’ – they can be brilliant, difficult and sometimes even dangerous. Their main characteristics are: their cleverness is central to their identity; their skills are not easily replicated; they know their worth; they ask difficult questions; they are organisationally savvy; they are not impressed by hierarchy; they expect instant success; they want to be connected to other clever people; they won’t thank you Their bad characteristics are: they take pleasure in breaking the rules; they trivialisie the importance of non-technical people; they are oversensitive about their projects; they suffer from knowledge-is-power syndrome; they are never happy about the review process Getting the approach right works for individuals, teams, and even whole companies – clevers attract more clevers ELEMENTS OF THE BOOK I PARTICULARLY LIKE Success may well depend on how well you lead ‘clevers’, which is a nightmare in itself.
