Physiologic assessment of coronary artery stenosis severity.
For over a quarter-century, selective coronary arteriography has remained the ultimate diagnostic test for assessing the significance of atherosclerotic lesions in the coronary circulation of humans. Despite the development of many noninvasive techniques designed to assess effects of limitations in the ability to augment coronary flow on myocardial perfusion, function, and metabolism, the coronary arteriogram has maintained its clinical position of preeminence. |

Pericranial flap for the closure of defects of craniofacial resection.
Malignant neoplasms involving the ethmoid sinuses mandate en bloc resection via the craniofacial approach. This technique leaves a direct communication between the nasal chamber and the extradural space to be closed. The elevation of dura from the nasal chamber and the extradural space to be closed. The elevation of dura from the anterior chamber and the extradural space to be closed. The elevation of dura from the anterior cranial fossa and cribriform area may result in small dural tears, CSF leak and/or CNS infections. We have utilized an inferiorly based pericranial flap and a laterally based osteoplastic bone flap to successfully close this space and dural defects. The laterally based bone flap allows insetting pericranial flap without compromising the vascularized inferior base and gives generous exposure of the area to be resected. This approach has been used successfully in four patients in the last year. Three patients had esthesioneuroblastomas and the fourth had a squamous cell carcinoma of the maxilloethmoid complex. This communication describes the technique and lists advantages of the inferiorly based pericranial flap. |

“And if he feels like coming back and helping our team is what he wants to do, we would welcome him with open arms and want him to help us however he can,” Cousins said. “We’re going to give him his time, though, and let him do what he needs to do, give him his space. And hopefully it can all work out and he can get back and be in a good place and be ready to help us here shortly.”
Cousins said he, like so many of his teammates, was surprised when he found out at Sunday’s practice that Cravens had left the team. But he also pointed out that the NFL is peppered with surprises at this time of the year, and that turnover and change are the only constants.

“Nobody’s ever comfortable, nobody ever feels safe, none of us feel like we’ve got it made or figured out,” he said. “You have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable, and that is a tough reality of this league. And I think when I was on the outside as a young person or as a college athlete, hoping to someday be in the NFL, you don’t realize how much of a grind and how challenging this league can be, and how much it will test you not just physically but mentally and emotionally.”
“You know, you have to be tough to last in this league,” Cousins went on. “And it’ll make you question, ‘Do I want to do this? Do I have what it takes?’ But as Coach Shanahan always said, tough times don’t last, tough people do. And I believe that if you choose to be a tough person and stick through it and fight it out, usually good things happen in the end and you’ll proud of the fact that you did.”
Cousins later answered a question about the pressures of being a young, highly compensated athlete living under a constant spotlight, and he said he has tried to accept that his job has positives and negatives.

“If it was easy and anyone could do it, it wouldn’t be paying us what they’re paying us, it wouldn’t be the privilege that it is to play,” the quarterback said. “But with that said, the reason they do pay what they pay, and the reason that there are a lot of perks is because it’s a grind, and it’s not easy, and a lot of people who have tried to do this weren’t able to. You’ve got to understand that getting into it. But you take the good with the bad. There’s nowhere else I’d rather be, but at the same time, by no means is it a cakewalk, by no means is it easy.
“And as you grow as a player in this league, you start thinking outside yourself, too. As a young player you’re just focusing on how do I make this team, how do I survive, and now going into my sixth year — as a starting quarterback now coming up on my third year — I really want to look outside myself and say how do I help guys come along, how do I help these other guys play at a higher level. And so your roles, your responsibilities only grow.”
Cousins also discussed his team’s decision to jettison young quarterback Nate Sudfeld, who immediately joined the Eagles, Washington’s upcoming opponent.

“It’s just a tough reminder of how this league works,” Cousins told Paulsen and Rouhier. “I feel like everybody I’ve befriended and gotten to know really well, it’s almost like they end up moving on. It makes it tough to have these long sustained friendships within the organization, because guys are always coming and going. And, you know, that’s not ideal. And so certainly it was tough to lose Nate. These roster spots are so precious, and it was hard to justify having a third quarterback; as most teams now are avoiding having a third quarterback, our organization decided to do the same thing, and it opens up a roster spot hopefully that can help us in other areas, either on offense or defense or special teams.”
“But tough to lose him,” Cousins said. “He was great for our quarterback room, and he does know the system well, and as a result there is some awareness that he’s gonna be sharing what he does know with the Eagles. And as a result, that’s something we don’t want to fall asleep on, or take too lightly.”

A more effective and efficient maintenance paradigm is emerging that replaces time-based maintenance with a condition-based maintenance approach. This approach allows equipment to be operated for more of its useful life and significantly reduces the cost of maintaining equipment. In order to implement this maintenance plan, there is a need for more sensitive and reliable sensors for monitoring the state of equipment.
In the case of bearings and other rotating devices, accelerometers and thermocouples are being replaced by more sensitive microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). MEMS sensors have the ability to detect faults in rotating machinery early enough to effectively administer condition-based maintenance; however, current MEMS sensors require batteries, which have short life spans and reliability issues, or wires that add weight when many sensors are used and require routine servicing to ensure effective operation.
Researchers at Purdue University have developed an integrated, wireless, battery-free MEMS sensing device for monitoring the internal state of a bearing or other rotating machine. In addition, the MEMS sensor is installed inside the rotating machine. This is advantageous where add-ons to existing components are often not implemented due to the additional cost and logistical support. |
Q:
how can I restart the computer from python script and make the script automatically continue from where it stopped?
I would like to write a python script executing some command.
After some commands I want to reboot the computer (through the script) ,so that the script will continue automatically from where it stopped.
if there's a way to do so thruogh the command line, it will also be helpful, because I can run subprocess.
Thanks!!
A:
It isn't possible to do this "automatically", you need to record some notion of the program's state when the computer shuts down. Conceptually this is no different than having the program exit, then running it again and picking up where it left off (without rebooting).
There are a number of different ways to save state, broadly called serialization. In Python, two common options for serialization are the JSON text format and "pickling", which lets you serialize a Python data structure.
How exactly you serialize your program's state depends on your requirements, but once you've done that you can restart your program (or the whole computer), read in the saved data, and use that to continue progressing from that point.
Shutting down (and running a program at startup) are OS-dependent operations, so you need to provide more context about what environment you're working in to answer more clearly. In Unix you can generally call reboot or sudo reboot to restart your computer.

Evidence and response to the impact of the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program (OBRA) on hospital pharmacy: a progress report from central Ohio.
Preliminary results of a survey conducted by the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists (ASHP) indicated that hospital drug prices increased since the implementation of rebate agreements between Medicaid and drug manufacturers. The question of how hospital pharmacy directors are planning to respond to the cost-shifting that may occur in the recent future is raised in this article. Open-ended questions posed to Central Ohio Hospital directors assessed their expectations, experience, and proposed strategies in response to the rebate program. The respondents expect increases in drug prices, reductions in discounts for volume purchases, rebate programs, and contract purchases. Increases in the use of special dating on invoice, bundling of contract purchases, shorter time period for guaranteed prices, and shorter dating on invoices are also expected. Using stricter hospital formularies and capitalizing on the negotiating strength of purchasing groups, was the common strategy considered by hospital pharmacies. |
A tip from Jerry Seinfeld, a life hack!
I found an interesting blog yesterday from lifehacker.com and knew I had to share it with everyone. If you have a chance, read the whole article, but for now I will summarize.
Your probably wondering what Jerry Seinfeld has to do with becoming a healthier person, but the tip he shares is extremely effective…read on!
In this article Seinfeld shared one of his biggest contributors during his grueling journey to becoming one of the greatest known comics. Seinfeld said the only way to become a better comic is to write better jokes, and the only way to write better jokes was to write every day. He revealed a calendar system he used to pressure himself into writing.
He said the best way to become better at something is to practice and stay consistent. Here is what to do!
Get a big wall calendar that has a whole year on one page and hang it on a prominent wall. The next step was to get a big red magic marker.
For each day you EXERCISE(or whatever), put a big red X over that day. “After a few days you’ll have a chain. Just keep at it and the chain will grow longer every day. You’ll like seeing that chain, especially when you get a few weeks under your belt. Your only job next is to not break the chain.”
Jerry Said with emphasis! “Don’t break the chain,”
We can’t overcome large obstacles in one day, it’s the consistent pushing and pulling, inch by inch that result in extraordinary outcomes. Daily action builds habits, and habits are easier to maintain.
Just don’t skip a day, because it will be easier to skip the next!
Get your calendar(comment below if you would like me to email you a good calendar) and start making those X’s |
The effect of vibration on postural response of Down syndrome individuals on the seesaw.
In order to better understand the role of proprioception in postural adjustments on unstable surfaces, we analyzed the effect of vibration on the pattern of muscle activity and joint displacements (ankle, knee and hip) of eight intellectually normal participants (control group-CG) and eight individuals with Down syndrome (DS) while balancing on seesaws of different heights. The individuals with DS adopted a pattern of co-contraction and were not able to modulate the magnitude of postural response with the seesaw's height. The vibration affected neither the ability of individuals with DS to maintain balance nor the pattern of muscle contraction. On the other hand the control group changed the strategy with vibration, adopting one similar to that used by individuals with DS. Collectively, our findings suggest that proprioceptive information is essential for the motor control system to select the appropriate motor strategy of reciprocal activation among the agonist and antagonist to efficiently balance. Also, these findings suggest that a proprioceptive deficit could explain the atypical motor strategy observed in individuals with DS during balance on seesaw. |

Interplay Between Nitric Oxide and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Neuronal Plasticity.
Nitric oxide is a gaseous neuromodulator that displays a core role in several neuronal processes. Beyond regulating the release of neurotransmitters, nitric oxide also plays a role in cell differentiation and maturation in the central nervous system. Although the mode of action of nitric oxide is not fully understood, it involves the activation of soluble guanylate cyclase as well as the nitration and S-nitrosylation of specific amino acid residues in other proteins. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor is a member of neurotrophic factor family and, acting through its receptor tropomyosinrelated kinase B, increases the production of nitric oxide, modulates neuronal differentiation and survival, and plays a crucial role in synaptic plasticity, such as long-term potentiation. Furthermore, nitric oxide is an important regulator of the production of these factors. The aim of the present review is to present a condensed view of the evidence related to the interaction between nitric oxide and brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Additionally, we conducted bioinformatics analysis based on the amino acid sequences of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and tropomyosin-related kinase receptors, and proposed that nitric oxide might nitrate/S-nitrosylate these proteins. Thus, we suggest a putative direct mode of action between these molecules to be further explored. |
The ready availability of camera technology, particularly in small, lightweight computing devices, has increased the prevalence of amateur photography. Hardware and imaging software in both computing devices and dedicated digital cameras have advanced so that photographers of all levels have access to highly advanced image processing that can be applied to images in many ways and at any time, even immediately after image capture on a device. One area in which image processing still sometimes falls short is when image processing is applied to images taken at or near the limits of the dynamic range of the imaging sensor being used. Such images might be taken, as an example, during exposure bracketing for high dynamic range (“HDR”) photography or for image selection.
In order to adjust the exposure of such images during further processing, existing applications typically refer to exchangeable image file (“EXIF”) data within the image files. EXIF data values are typically assigned based on camera settings assuming that the luminance response of a digital image sensor is linear, or nearly so. In practice however, most digital image sensors become nonlinear near their limits. For example, most digital image sensors are nonlinear in their response to light at levels that are very low relative to the sensor's native sensitivity. Thus, it is difficult to achieve optimum results when using the “dark” image of a series of images captured of a scene for image enhancement, for example, to form a combined image through HDR photography. |
Systems biology approaches to abscisic acid signaling.
Recent advances in our understanding of abscisic acid (ABA) signaling have identified a core pathway consisting of receptors (PYR/PYL/RCAR), protein phosphatases (PP2C), protein kinases (SnRK2), and several downstream factors that will lead to the next stage of ABA research. Systems biology will be an important concept for further understanding ABA responses in plants. In this review, two practical approaches of systems biology to ABA signaling are presented: the one is 'transcriptome analysis', which covers coding genes as well as unannotated transcripts, and the other is 'phosphoproteomics'. The latter technology will offer an unprecedented overview of the regulatory networks involved in ABA signaling because protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation is a major center of such regulation. Systematic studies will contribute to our understanding of the network structure and dynamics of ABA signaling; moreover, systems biology will facilitate ABA signaling studies as well as future biotechnological applications in crops or trees. |
A BREXITER has vowed to leave the country for some unspecified destination of his own free choosing if the government do not do something about immigration.
Norman Steele says that if Britain insists on maintaining its crazy open borders scheme allowing foreigners to come over and settle on a whim, then he and his wife will sell up and move to the south of France, or wherever else he fancies.
Steele said: “This mad experiment in trying to make us all multicultural has got to stop. If they think they can make my wife wear a veil and speak Polish, they’ve another think coming.
“Europe’s convenient. I reckon France, or Spain. Actually, Poland doesn’t look half bad. That’s the great thing about being free and British – you can go wherever you want.”
Steele says that wherever he goes, he intends to ‘sit around on his arse all day’, eating egg and chips and reading the Daily Express so that he and his fellow expats can complain about immigrants. |
Q:
Beginner HTML: not working as I'd like to
so I am still fairly new in coding and started with HTML, because I think it is the easiest and quickest way to get into it.
Im now using w3schools.com to develop my skills and now I am trying to use the iframe tag. When I just used as scr "https://www.google.com" it said, that google is refusing to connect. Then I downloaded the google website and added it to the folder and changed it to scr"google.html" it shows the Page of google, without fancy imaging of Google, which is already an advancment, however, I am unable to actually search something, then I get the error again "Refusing to connect".
Anyone an idea why this is happening and how to solve that?
FYI: My Website is not running on a Server, but I am connected to the Interenet.
Thanks in advance!
A:
Every website can prevent third-party domains from embedding their content.
(How? How to prevent my site page to be loaded via 3rd party site frame of iFrame).
So the problem is not with your code. Google has denied access to embed it inside iframes.

Q:
How to reuse a prepared statement parameter in mysql
I have a (semi) simple MySQL query that I'm trying to use (via php mysqli extension), and I can't quite figure out how to do this.
My query looks like
SELECT DISTINCT Col1 from `table1` where `col2`= ? and `col3`=?
UNION SELECT DISTINCT Col1 from `table2` where `col2`=(?) and `col3`=(?)
I have two tables that I don't want to deal with merging and I just want to reuse the original two prepared "?"s. I know there is something I can do for this when inserting values into a table, but my efforts in searching the docs have thus far proved useless.
Can I do this, and how?
update
Here's my code
$query='SELECT DISTINCT enginesizecc FROM `table1` where year=? and vehicle_make= ? as UNION SELECT DISTINCT enginesizecc from `table2` WHERE year=(?) AND vehicle_make =(?)';
$stmt=$sql->prepare($query);
echo $sql->error; //I'm in debug mode
$blank='';
if(array_key_exists('year', $_POST)){
if(array_key_exists('make', $_POST)){
$stmt->bind_param('ss', $_POST['year'], $_POST['make']);
}
else $stmt->bind_param('ss', $_POST['year'], $blank);
}
elseif(array_key_exists('make', $_POST)){
$stmt->bind_param('ss', $blank, $_POST['make']);
}
else{
//if(array_key_exists('model', $_POST)) $stmt->bind_param('sss', $blank, $blank);
$stmt->bind_param('ss', $blank, $blank);
}
$stmt->execute();
$modelItem='';
$stmt->bind_result($modelItem);
$models=array();
while($stmt->fetch()){
$models[]=$modelItem;
}
sort($models);
return $models;
I know that I could just bind the same variables twice, but that seems rather inefficient.
A:
PDO allows you to name parameters specifically, like so, but MySQLi doesn't support named variables:
"SELECT x FROM y WHERE name = :name and key = :key"
In PDO this would let you re-use :name and :key after specifying their types. I'm not arguing over which is better, since you can achieve the same thing in MySQLi.
The thing is that MySQLi makes it rather hard to stick to the "Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY)" methodology. (Consider custom functions if you like DRY).
It's the reason some prefer PDO over MySQLi, but there are some funky workarounds (such as call_user_func_array in custom functions, etc).
And as to your "efficiency" comment, it really makes no difference to repeat the variables. It will be parameterized in the MySQL API call twice, but it hardly affects performance significantly. PDO parameterizes internally without using MySQL (unless you explicitly make it use MySQL), and MySQLi makes the MySQL API parameterize for it.

Preparation of guinea pig hepatic microsomes: a comparison of three techniques.
Hepatic microsomal preparations by Ca2+-aggregation and gel filtration on Sepharose 2B were compared with the product obtained by differential centrifugation, using liver from adult male guinea pigs. The conventionally-prepared microsomes were translucent and rose-red in color. Those prepared by Ca2+-aggregation were a cream or light pink color whereas the gel-filtered microsomes were opalescent and white. The specific activities of microsomal p-nitroanisole O-demethylase, aniline hydroxylase and nonspecific carboxylase were highest in the Ca2+-aggregated microsomes, intermediate in the gel-filtered preparation and lowest in the conventional microsomes. Electron microscopy revealed vesicular preparations of similar appearance though the Ca2+-aggregated microsomes were larger and contained more aggregates of free ribosomes. |
Simian foamy virus infection in humans: prevalence and management.
Simian foamy viruses (SFVs) are highly prevalent in all nonhuman primate species and can infect humans following occupational and non-occupational exposure to infected animals and their tissues, blood or body fluids. Virus transmission results in a stable, persistent infection that seems to be latent. SFV infections are thus far nonpathogenic, with no evidence of adverse clinical outcome in their natural nonhuman primate hosts or by experimental injection in animals and upon cross-species transmission in humans. Since the emergence of pathogenic viruses from nonpathogenic viruses upon cross-species infection is well-documented for several retroviruses, it is prudent to take necessary precautions to deter SFV infections in humans. These steps will help prevent the emergence of a novel pathogen and reduce the risk of transmission of another potential pathogenic human retrovirus. |

Geography- Biodiversity.
Biodiversity in general means the variability among living organisms from all sources. Biodiversity can be categorised into three types.
Genetic diversity- the diversity of genes found within a species. genetic variability among individuals or populations can determine the degree of resistance to pests and diseases. the larger the gene pool the more mutations occur so there are more adaptations to combat diseases and climate change.
Species diversity- the variety of plant and animal species in a given area, it is basically a measure of species richness. diversity of species boosts resilience to withstand threats such as climate change…

Review article: drug development in gastroenterology--the changing view of industry.
Rationalization within the pharmaceutical industry to combat escalating costs has included the close examination of research portfolios. Gastroenterology has been one of the casualties of this exercise and few companies currently retain a specific gastrointestinal research programme. Acid-peptic disease has been the victim of its own success, since the availability of a range of extremely effective drugs largely satisfies current medical needs. A safe, convenient and effective monotherapy able to eradicate Helicobacter pylori would be a commercially viable alternative to antisecretory drugs, leading to further expansion of the anti-ulcer market. The irritable bowel syndrome is probably too diverse a target for logical research: inflammatory bowel disease is probably too small a market to be attractive. Potentially effective drugs to treat these and other gastrointestinal diseases could emerge from broader research programmes, provided that companies retain the expertise and desire to develop such agents for gastrointestinal indications. Cancer of the gastrointestinal tract and associated organs undoubtedly represents a commercially attractive target, but new anti-tumour drugs are more likely to arise from generic research rather than programmes specifically directed at tumours of the gastrointestinal tract. The changing view of the pharmaceutical industry towards the development of gastrointestinal drugs is likely to have a negative impact on both fundamental and clinical research in gastroenterology. |

},
mounted () {
this.getRecords()
}
}
A:
It will return promise because AXIOS is a promise function that you are trying to return.
axios.get(`${this.endpoint}`).then((response) => {
this.response.table = response.data.data.table
})
after axios call you need save it into your state or data the response then use it wherever you want.

A:
The solution is to have an onClick implementation in your java code for each of your buttons
Ex:
Button btn1 = (Button) row.findViewById(R.id.btn1);
Button btn2 = (Button) row.findViewById(R.id.btn2);
btn1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent i = new Intent(getContext(), second.class);
getContext().startActivity(i);
}
});
btn2.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Intent i = new Intent(getContext(), third.class);
getContext().startActivity(i);
}
});

Local Variables
Local variables allow storing and using information across multiple statements in action logic. Usage (or scope) of local variable is within the given Action.
For example, consider the following statements in the Account Creation action, where you need to fill email address with a randomly generated email
Here, "email address" is a local variable, which captures the random email that the first statement generates. Subsequently, you use the same email to type in the email address text field. You do not need this information anywhere outside of this Action, so it is best to use a local variable. If this information was to be shared outside of this Action, you would use Action Output Parameter.
Remember following points about local variables:
Created as part of internal Action logic.
Useful to process information between multiple statements in the logic of a given Action |
Think Local: Digital Divide and Censorship
This famous quote draws its confidence from a rather idealist view on a technique that is employed for the Internet to work the way we know it and that is called packet switching: Data packets are relayed – on theoretically arbitrary routes – towards a destination that is determined only by a unique address in a network of nodes – whose number is theoretically only limited by the number of possible addresses – where the blackout of a node or a connector can be compensated instantaneously by alternative routes that circumvent the defective part. In this structure, nodes can operate relatively autonomously and “improvise” with the address of the incoming packets and sufficient knowledge about their neighbors. No wonder that this form of idealized network with its magic ability to “self-repair” its data streams is often associated with the notion of a military communication network that can comparably well continue operation when being under attack.
What is true for the level of the communication protocol and for data packets whizzing through abstract wires often looks quite different on a deeper level when it comes to physical connections. Although technical equipment may be owned by individuals or at least be distributed to many players with distinct interests, the nationwide infrastructure is expensive and relies much on the investments of powerful corporations and the policies of national governments.
Mark Pesce refers to Gilmore’s Law when declaring: “Kill one part of the Internet, and another part will smoothly fill the gap.” Information, so the argument, has the inherent capacity to preserve itself. The author mentions the Great Firewall of China as failed attempt to censor information and describes wireless mesh networks as possibility to relay data independently from existing networks that are controlled by authorities.
On the other hand, the Digital Divide might force us to differentiate this optimistic prediction. Digital Divide does not only mean that in some parts of the world individuals are less connected, but also tells us about the weakness of the national parts of Internet that are controlled by the ruling regime.
The situations in Egypt and Burma have been compared and incited soul-searching mostly on the Burmese side. This doesn’t surprise us since protests in Burma have been unsuccessful and digital media could be leveraged only to an extent permitted by the regime. “But probably the biggest difference between Egypt and Burma is the role of the military in the midst of a civilian uprising,” observes Yeni in his commentary and points out that freedom in the virtual sphere still depends on political hard facts in the real world – the world where bullets can kill.
Matt Richtel writes in the New York Times: “The [Egyptian] government has made a big mistake taking away the option at people’s fingertips. They’re taking their frustration to the streets.” Can we therefore conclude that online media are absorbing and neutralizing initiative and hence delaying change, rather than promoting it? Regime change, we have learned, was eventually effected offline on the streets, and tolerated by the national army.
The lessons learned, however, needn’t force us to go back to pre-digital ages. There are some reasons to think about improving and employing alternative solutions like Packet Radio, as suggested in the article Communicate if Your Government Shuts Off Your Internet, which is obviously tailor-made for a scenario in the Western civilization where presumably also its authors stem from. The Digital Divide is not only about the availability and affordability of technical equipment, but also about the IT-literacy of the population. Here, too, is a starting point to prepare the population for key moments. But the engagement of citizens will eventually depend not less on the question what personal risks individuals have to take by owning or operating an illegal network, and how easily they can be revealed.
I wonder if among the things that Burmese activists can do now is also to establish connections to their Egyptian counterparts. Usually they seem not to miss out any opportunity to split into factions, rather than uniting for one common goal. Maybe it is time to search allies among peoples with a similar fate instead of turning to powerful Western governments, and thus repeating post-colonial patterns.

[Mechanisms of electromechanical function disturbances in cardiomyocytes overloaded with calcium. The theoretical study].
Arrhythmias and mechanical disturbances are simulated in a mathematical model of cardiomyocyte electromechanical activity. The simulated pattern is similar to that observed for acute heart failure associated with calcium overloading of myocardium cells. Special attention was paid to the calcium overloading resulting from the reduced Na+,K+ pump activity. In the framework of the model, it was shown that mechanical factors could promote arrhythmia initiation when the pump activity reduced. Different approaches to electrical and mechanical function restoration during acute heart failure associated with calcium overloading were suggested and analyzed in the model. |

UK Government Minister Guto Bebb visited Llandrindod Wells to help open the door to a Mid-Wales growth deal.
He met leading local authority figures, business people and representatives from the agricultural sector to encourage businesses to play a role in helping to grow the Mid Wales economy.
During the visit the Minister said that the Mid-Wales economy has tremendous potential for growth.
He said that now is a key time for businesses and local authorities to come together and work with the UK and Welsh Governments to build a mid-Wales engine that can create jobs and opportunities across the region. From research expertise at Aberystwyth University to global success stories such as Nidec Control Techniques, the region already has much in the way of innovation, skills and technology.
The Minister will said that the UK Government wants to work with companies and groups on the ground as they develop a bespoke deal that works for the whole of mid-Wales.
Last week the UK Government announced it would welcome proposals for a mid-Wales growth deal, as part of the Budget.
Guto Bebb said:
“A mid-Wales growth deal would be the catalyst to revolutionise the way our towns and villages in mid-Wales govern themselves - shifting powers down from London and Cardiff to local leaders who are better placed to take decisions that affect their communities.
“The development of a Midlands Engine across the border offers a unique chance to partner and develop a growth corridor stretching all the way from Aberystwyth to the Midlands.
“With the launch of our Industrial Strategy, which includes opportunities for a growth deal for mid-Wales, there has never been a better time for businesses, local authorities and the agriculture sector to seize the opportunity to come together and build a strong vision for mid-Wales.”
Powys County Council Leader Rosemarie Harris said:
“Growth deals have the potential to re-shape the economic development of a region so I welcome the commitment for a growth deal for mid-Wales.
“Any growth deal for mid-Wales could improve the transport infrastructure, digital connectivity and help to develop new job opportunities for the region. This would be of huge benefit to Powys and to Wales as a whole. We want to develop a thriving economy in Powys and a growth deal for Mid Wales will help us to achieve that.”
Chris Davies MP for Brecon and Radnorshire added:
“We were pleased to welcome the Minister Brecon and Radnorshire to meet with senior figures at Powys County Council. This is the second Ministerial Visit in three months, with Jake Berry MP (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Communities and Local Government) visiting in September. The Minister and I also met with Gough Transport in Llandrindod Wells to discuss how the Mid Wales Growth deal could benefit companies across Brecon and Radnorshire.
The Mid Wales Growth Deal is the sort of investment our constituency needs, focusing power away from Cardiff Bay and Westminster, and directly to rural communities. I will continue to work at a local and national level to implement this growth deal effectively”.

Q:
How do I stub/mock a call to the command line with rspec?
I'm trying to test output from a command line tool. How do I 'fake' a command line call with rspec? Doing the following doesn't work:
it "should call the command line and return 'text'" do
@p = Pig.new
@p.should_receive(:run).with('my_command_line_tool_call').and_return('result text')
end
How do I create that stub?
A:
Using the new message expectation syntax:
spec/dummy_spec.rb
require "dummy"
describe Dummy do
it "command_line should call ls" do
d = Dummy.new
expect(d).to receive(:system).with("ls")
d.command_line
end
end
lib/dummy.rb
class Dummy
def command_line
system("ls")
end
end
A:
Here is a quick example I made. I call ls from my dummy class. Tested with rspec
require "rubygems"
require "spec"
class Dummy
def command_line
system("ls")
end
end
describe Dummy do
it "command_line should call ls" do
d = Dummy.new
d.should_receive("system").with("ls")
d.command_line
end

Former Chelsea great Pat Nevin claims that Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho does not know how to utilise his players Juan Mata and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
The Portuguese tactician kept Juan Mata out of his United squad for their match against Premier League champions Chelsea and Mkhitaryan was seen struggling to make any kind of impact and was substituted in the second half.
Jose Mourinho has been criticised for his negative approach in the matches against Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur as well as Chelsea and former Chelsea winger Nevin believes Mourinho does not know how to get the best out of his number 10s.
Speaking to Newstalk, Nevin said, "Jose doesn't really know what to do with a Mata or a Mkhitaryan. He doesn't understand it. His methodology, for whatever we say, it wins trophies. If Man United win a trophy this year, you won't be surprised."
United are currently in second place on the Premier League table, eight points adrift of league leaders Manchester City.
The Red Devils will welcome Newcastle United to Old Trafford in their next Premier League encounter this weekend.

Q:
Steady current Vs DC and AC
Steady current is the continuous and constant flow of free electrons in a circuit due to constant potential difference. My question is how steady current differs from DC and AC?
A:
Direct current is a current that is always going in one direction whereas alternating current is the one that periodically changes its direction. A steady state current is one where the magnitude of current (cycle averaged current for AC) is not fluctuating in time.
In the image, the first two graphs represent a steady DC and AC and the third one is an example of a current that is not steady.

Research Description
Modern biological research is characterized by an integration of scale. Scientists study phenomena in a context ranging from the molecular to the organismal and population levels. Information from vast and diverse databases are brought to bear on any particular research question. Often such approaches are now referred to as "systems biology". Within this larger context, our group focuses mainly on "genome informatics", or more broadly "computational genome science". On the genomic scale, we try to understand the functional units in a genome (identification of protein-coding genes and RNA genes; organization of transposable elements and other repetitive sequences), how their expression is controlled, and how they may have come to be what and where they are (comparative genomics, genome dynamics, molecular phylogeny). On the molecular scale, we are particularly interested in the process of pre-mRNA splicing (identification of splice sites and characterization of splicing factors). Most of our data work in recent years has been focused on plant genomes, but we are also exploring other genomes (in particular arthropod genomes), and our tools apply widely.
We approach our research using a combination of computational and experimental approaches. Typically, we start with a biological question, then derive a statistical model for evaluation of the data, develop algorithms and software to organize and analyze the data for the study, and finally interpret the results, more often than not leading to further biological questions and another iteration of research.
A key aspect to this approach is efficient data management, and thus we devote much of our efforts to the development of bioinformatics databases and data management tools. Our large-scale studies increasingly involve cyberinfrastructure-enabled high performance computing, and we seek to contribute to the development of relevant domain-specific cyberinfrastructure. |

The Beurer GmbH heart rate monitoring glove ditches the traditional belt system used by other companies, like Polar, in favor of a new method called plethysmography. Instead of wearing an obtrusive belt across your chest to pick up your EKG signal, this little glove measures the reflected light from an artery found in the index finger.
That's right, no other restricting equipment to strap on that you have to worry about falling off. All you do is slap on this little glove, and go. It will even measure blood pressure.
On a side note, when your willy isn't working, plethysmography is typically used to see what might be the cause of your erectile problem. So there you go, erectile dysfunction methods are now being applied to more than just old men, that is unless old men have started to jog now.

Legal software A great aid for the attorneys
Is there any field in the day to day life in which the
computer and software are not used? You take any filed, medical, teaching,
business, stock market, and even petty shops, you can see the use of varieties
of software. Legal field is also no way different. Legal software has changed
the legal field, the changes are for good. The different kinds of software use
in the legal field make the system to move in a faster pace. The perfect
documentation and the easy dealings are two of the major benefits of the legal
software.
As a lawyer, you may have to fill hundreds and thousands of
legal forms in a month. Computers and software is really savior for you in
these situations. The templates of the legal forms make the life of the law
firm personals very simple. The reduction in human intervention and the man
power requirements are the major advantages of the computer based legal forms
and computerized automated filling process. This makes whole process error free
and saves time and money.

Characterization and interpretation of the quantum efficiencies of multilayer semiconductor detectors using a new theory.
On the basis of a new theory of semiconductor X-ray detector response, a new type of multilayer semiconductor detector was designed and developed for convenient energy analyses of intense incident X-ray flux in a cumulative-current mode. Another anticipated useful property of the developed detector is a drastic improvement in high-energy X-ray response ranging over several hundred eV. The formula for the quantum efficiency of multilayer semiconductor detectors and its physical interpretations are proposed and have been successfully verified by synchrotron radiation experiments at the Photon Factory. These detectors are useful for data analyses under strong radiation-field conditions, including fusion-plasma-emitting X-rays and energetic heavy-particle beams, without the use of high-bias applications. |
Q:
How to create letter with related data?
I want to create a letter that can be sent via email or saved as PDF (or in the worst case exported as csv).
The data for the letter comes from the following related objects:
The important object is Session. You enter the sessions the Partner has, with Date from ... to (one day would mean entering the same date twice) and Topic. Topic has a dropdown with three topics z1, z2, z3. There will be many Session items for one Partner.
I want to create a letter that displays the Consultant and his Principal in the header, the Partner in the subject and the details of all related Session entries as conten. The letter should hence look like this:
Unfortunately, I cannot create this via a joined-report, as I will always get all related information in one long line.
How would you solve this problem?
A:
I solved this with a workaround using Microsoft Word's mail merge:
Export the data as .xls
Use Word's Mail Merge with Catalog / Category (see this topic at SuperUser) to sort the data by category

Psychotherapy with rural religious fundamentalist clients.
Successful psychotherapy with rural fundamentalist Christians requires psychologists to understand the clients' culture and worldview. They often rely heavily on religious authorities, interpret Scriptures literally, adhere to strict moral codes of behavior, and believe that they should evangelize those around them. Common therapeutic challenges include: spiritualizing problems, relational conflicts related to gender role expectations, addiction problems, and the religious agendas of family and clergy. We recommend that psychotherapists evaluate their own attitudes, collaborate with community gatekeepers, sensitively address clients' rigid beliefs, address religious differences, and take a holistic approach to treatment. A case example illustrates this approach. |
In the above-identified application, there is described a process for forming a localized field oxided region of relatively narrow width by a process which involves forming over a silicon substrate a succession of layers including in turn a pad thermally grown silicon oxide layer, a CVD (chemical vapor deposited) silicon nitride layer, and a CVD silicon oxide layer thereafter using photolithographic techniques for masking pattern definition as aperture with relatively vertical side walls is formed through the outer two layers, terminating at the thermally grown oxide. Next a conformed CVD silicon nitride layer is deposited in a manner to fill the aperture rising over the edges of the aperture to extend over the surface of the CVD silicon oxide layer. This layer is then etched an isotropically to remove the thickness corresponding to the conformed silicon nitride layer to reform the aperture but leaving silicon nitride side wall spacers which effectively reduce the lateral dimensions of the aperture. The resultant was then heated in an oxidizing atmosphere to thicken the thermally grown oxide exposed in the aperture to the thickness desired for the field oxide.
This technique permits achieving field oxide regions of narrower widths then the minimum size fixture realizable by standard photolithographic techniques by the width of the side wall spacers provided after the original field oxide pattern has been defined by the photolithographic process.
The present invention relates to improvements in the basic process described. |

The woman told the police that the man raped her and threatened that if she refused to give in to his demands, he would let one of his three pet snakes bite her.
But in a shocking turn of events, the man was the one who got bitten by one of his pets as he was playing with it in the hotel’s bathtub.
During the investigation, authorities said that the man chose not to seek any medical assistance or call the police following the incident.

First Red-Band Trailer and New Images for Seth MacFarlane’s A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST Starring Charlize Theron, Liam Neeson, & Neil Patrick Harris
Universal Pictures has released the first red-band trailer for Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane’s latest directorial feature A Million Ways to Die in theWest. It’s also MacFarlane’s live-action acting debut, and judging from this first look, he’s actually a bit more reserved than his animated counterparts. The dangers of the wild west more than make up for MacFarlane’s toned-down performance as it looks like the film will live up to its title; just about anything and everything in this world can and will kill you in the most hilarious way possible.
Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film also stars CharlizeTheron,Liam Neeson, Neil Patrick Harris, Amanda Seyfried, Sarah Silverman, and Giovanni Ribisi. A Million Ways to Die in the West opens May 30th. [Update: We’ve also added some new images from the film to the article as well.]

Assay and characterization of an osmolarity inducible promoter newly isolated from Bacillus subtilis.
An osmolarity-sensitive promoter fragment, P23423, isolated from Bacillus subtilis was characterized. The expression of β-galactosidase (β-Gal) driven by P23423 was regulated by osmolarity both in Escherichia coli and B. subtilis. The classical conserved region of this prokaryotic promoter was found within the sequence of the cloned fragment, and the putative promoter was identified as the control element of RNA not coding for protein (a RNA molecule that is not translated into a protein). The efficiency and benefit of this promoter was further demonstrated via osmolarity-induced expression of three other heterologous proteins in E. coli. Thus, this approach provided a simple and inexpensive inducible promoter element for the expression of cloned genes. |
Rezoning approved
Council waves third reading, passes the ordinance
FAIRBORN – Council members unanimously voted to rezone the CEMEX property from agricultural land to mining use after agreeing to wave the third reading during its latest council meeting Monday, following the public hearing.
Members said they felt the heaviness of their decision, and took the process seriously. However, explained after the vote that they felt their decision was best for the community as a whole.
“I’m going to say this right to the CEMEX folks: I’m going to hold your feet to the fire,” Mayor Dan Kirkpatrick said. “You have done a fantastic job for the City of Fairborn in the past, we expect you to continue that.”
They emphasized the amount of time they’ve spent working on the matter, and took information received from each party into account.
“Given everything we’ve heard, tonight and for months now, I’ve been working on this for roughly nine months, I can find no proof to the accusations made against this proposition,” Councilwoman Marilyn McCauley said. “For the bettermeant of our community as a whole, I feel like we’ve made the best decision possible tonight.”
She looked for proof on each side in regards to her decision.
“We’ve all spent a lot of time and effort in the process,” McCauley said. “We’ve listened, and listened and listened; we’ve read numerous articles and information given to us by certain groups of folks. Three times I’ve asked for proof of home damage, ectetera, and could never get that proof from those folks who had that concern.”
Councilman Tim Steininger felt that his decision did not come in a light manner.
“I listened to all the research I could, listened as a citizens, contemplated the impact to the city,” Steininger said. “There are no guarantees in life, there are no guarantees of any kind here. What we are saying is that this is the best decision I can make for the city at this time. Therefore, I voted the way that I did.”
Councilwoman Donna Wilson spoke with various individuals and asked questions throughout her decision-making process, including the Ohio Department of Natural Resources in regards to the reputation CEMEX carries. In the process, she said she realized how much land within the city used to be a quarry.
“I was highly surprised that the high school was a quarry, many residential areas were a quarry, the baseball and football field was a quarry and community park … I would never have known,” Wilson said.
Kirkpatrick emphasized how stressful of a decision it was, and said he lost sleep over the matter.
“I’ve met with private citizens, I’ve met with CEMEX; I’ve met with people who were against it, I’ve met with people who are for it, and I think you all realize this was not an easy answer for any of us,” Kirkpatrick said. “I’ve agonized and woken up at two o’clock in the morning, jotting notes and thinking of questions I would ask and concerns I would have. I hope everyone understands how difficult of a decision this was.”
He appreciated hearing from President Robert McClure of R.A. McClure Inc. (a company that offers explosive education and technical services) during the meeting, and felt concerned in regards to the blasting, and understood the worries of the residents.
“I know it can be done safely, and we’re going to hold CEMEX to the standard to make sure it remains safe,” he said. “We really want our citizens to let us know if there are any violations or questions.”
Kirkpatrick saw the silver lining in the matter being the communication that took place between citizens, the city and the company, and hopes to continue the dialogue in the future.
“I want to applaud everyone who came out tonight, whether they were for it or against it,” he said. “This is what makes our country great – we have the freedom and the ability to speak our mind. We may not always agree with each other, but we can walk out of here with our heads held up and we can work together for the future … We really need to have that dialogue, that communication so that we can be on good terms with each other. This was not an easy decision, and I want to thank everyone who came out.” |
question about OS??
Hello, I am kind of new to programming, and one of my courses requires that I study operating systems hence I have started reading up on it on my own...I am very confused on what system calls are?? I have looked it up in several books, which give a very detailed definition, and I couldn not find any internet sites that had a general overview of system calls, but I would really appreciate if someone could give a brief description of what a system call is??? thanks in advance |

Q:
how can i randomise the location of a widget on a window to make it different every time
i am trying to make a button widget that is created in a random position and everytime i click it it moves to another random position.
i have tried using the random function in the pack() parenthesis:
w= tkinter.Tk()
w.configure(background= 'steelblue1')
mb= tkinter.Button(w, text= 'o_o')
mb.pack(random)
w.mainloop()
i didn't expect this to work but was just trying it out, and this resulted in:
object of type 'module' has no len()
what would the len() be and how do i correctly use random?
A:
To place a button relative to the window you should use place().
mb.place(x=horizontal_pos, y=vertical_pos)
You can do it with pack also but then you would have to generate random padding instead.
Generate random integers with the random.uniform() function. see examples of usage in the random module.

Map: beer from around the world
Beer-lovers rejoice: the British Government recently announced that a pint of beer in the UK will be a whole one penny cheaper than before. Not exactly saving a fortune, but why would that matter when you have thousands of alternatives from around the world? From the Belgian Chimay to the Turkish Efes, Europe alone has much to offer. But look further afield, at Argentina’s Quilmes, Kenya’s Tusker, or even North Korea’s Taedonggang, and drinking anything in the UK seems distinctly unexciting. Take a look at the map below for a boozy tour of beer around the world.
Got more suggestions? Or think we’ve missed something? Tweet us your favourite world beers with the hashtag #bestworldbeers, or comment below this article, and we’ll add them to the map. |

Q:
Create a web based GPS Skyplot
I am looking to create a web based GPS skyplot.
Currently just in the planning stages. Was wondering if anyone knew any javascript libraries or such in which this would be best to start with or have a look at, of if you have done something similar before. I know Flot is decent for plotting but unsure if it would be easy in this scenario.
TLDR: Looking for javascript libraries or other alternatives to create a web based GPS Skyplot.
Further info.
I would like to be able to maintain it all generally in javascript / HTML but am open to other alternatives. I will have a server passing me the GPS details.
Skyplot Examples: For those who don't know.

I came accross:Geographic Information Systems (Stack Exchange) yesterday, would make a good site for these kind of questions.
So if anyone is interested in this please also go make a commit :). Otherwise I am still looking for any feedback on the question.
A:
Is it the graphical issues you are concerned with, or are you intending to also calculate which satellites are visible, and their azimuths and elevations at the given location and time?
If it's just the graphical part you are concerned with, I would use jQuery and Keith Wood's SVG plugin - see http://keith-wood.name/svg.html . This gives you a Javascript handle to Scalable Vector Graphics, for drawing circles, lines and dots on a canvas in the web page. It's simple to use, and the page I've linked to has examples that should help.

Q:
Is waking up a plant or a tree in winter harmful for it?
As it is winter, even by keeping my bonsai Zelkova indoors, it losts most of its leafs. For a week or so, I let it outside during the day for it to take the sun.
Now, it's already producing new leafs.
Is it harmful for the tree to not let it "sleep" in winter and to have it produce leafs all year long? Can it be exhausting for the tree?
A:
Japanese elm is a deciduous tree and, as such, it expects to lose its leaves and become dormant during winter. It is an outdoor bonsai, but may be susceptible to frost damage when the weather is very cold because of its shallow root system and container, so is best moved to a cold greenhouse or somewhere that isn't warm, but frost free. It's not good to keep it in a heated environment during winter, which it sounds like you're doing. If you can find somewhere unheated but frost free with daylight, move it there instead.

Embedding cancer care within pre-registration nurse education programmes: policy, practice and opportunities for change.
This paper discusses policy and professional drivers which outline the need for, and inclusion of cancer education within pre-registration nursing curricula within the UK. It also evaluates arguments in favour of the development of separate and distinctive cancer modules within nurse training programmes against those advocating a more integrated or thematic approach. The authors suggest that there are advantages and disadvantages to each strategy, and argue that the most important factor irrespective of the approach taken, is that cancer learning outcomes are clearly enunciated within all pre-registration nursing curricula and constructively aligned against teaching, learning and assessment strategies which may encompass a single module or entire programme. The authors then discuss their personal experience of teaching cancer care using both approaches and posit one suggestion for an embedded pre-registration cancer-care curriculum developed as the catalyst for a broader debate on the scope and content of cancer-care education within pre-registration nursing curricula. |
Sequential projection-based metacognitive learning in a radial basis function network for classification problems.
In this paper, we present a sequential projection-based metacognitive learning algorithm in a radial basis function network (PBL-McRBFN) for classification problems. The algorithm is inspired by human metacognitive learning principles and has two components: a cognitive component and a metacognitive component. The cognitive component is a single-hidden-layer radial basis function network with evolving architecture. The metacognitive component controls the learning process in the cognitive component by choosing the best learning strategy for the current sample and adapts the learning strategies by implementing self-regulation. In addition, sample overlapping conditions and past knowledge of the samples in the form of pseudosamples are used for proper initialization of new hidden neurons to minimize the misclassification. The parameter update strategy uses projection-based direct minimization of hinge loss error. The interaction of the cognitive component and the metacognitive component addresses the what-to-learn, when-to-learn, and how-to-learn human learning principles efficiently. The performance of the PBL-McRBFN is evaluated using a set of benchmark classification problems from the University of California Irvine machine learning repository. The statistical performance evaluation on these problems proves the superior performance of the PBL-McRBFN classifier over results reported in the literature. Also, we evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm on a practical Alzheimer's disease detection problem. The performance results on open access series of imaging studies and Alzheimer's disease neuroimaging initiative datasets, which are obtained from different demographic regions, clearly show that PBL-McRBFN can handle a problem with change in distribution. |
People who call the terrorist destruction of the World Trade
Center towers an act of "cowardice" do not understand what
happened. The act is far worse than that.
Terrorists willing to die for their political convictions are
not cowards. They are fanatical idealists whose ideals are evil.
They make no make no money, gain no great fame for acts of
anonymous suicide. They die to express what they believe to be
true and moral about the world.
And they can happily murder innocent people in the process
because they define "innocence" in a totally different manner
than you or me. The WTC towers were destroyed as much by
ideology as by exploding airplanes. This is a non-trivial point.
Terrorists cannot be countered with accusations of "cowardice."
They must be taken seriously as idealists and attacked upon
ideological as well as practical grounds.
The strategy of punishing collective guilt dates back (at
least) to Bolshevik activism in pre-Soviet Russia where
communist anarchists threw bombs into crowded restaurants on the
assumption that only capitalists could afford to eat in such
establishments. Anyone who died was a member of the class that
oppressed workers. Women, children, the accidental guest,
waiters...whoever was in the restaurant was part of the problem
and guilty. The strategy was called "propaganda by deed."
Similarly, the fanatics who dove into the WTC did not believe
they were killing innocent Americans. To them, no such category
existed. Average Americans -- the woman in a grocery store, the
child in grade school, your neighbor mowing his lawn -- are
collectively responsible for every act of the American
government. Each is held personally guilty for the bombing of
hospitals in Iraq, the plight of Palestinians ...virtually every
global wrong. All Americans are guilty simply by being an
American. To the terrorists, there were no innocent people in
the WTC towers.
The burning question is whether individuals are personally
responsible for their own acts or whether they share a class
guilt based on being white, male, American, Jewish,
gay...whatever.
A man who holds individuals personally responsible for their
acts may murder. For example, he may kill his landlord or
employer. A man who believes in class guilt will kill any
andall landlords and employers, even ones he has
never met. And, so, it becomes possible for "idealists" to kill
absolutely blameless people who belong to a guilty class.
What is meant by class guilt? A class is nothing more than an
arbitrary grouping of people that is useful to the person doing
the analysis. For example, if the classifier is a doctor who
treats cancer, it would be useful for him to divide his files
according to the sex of patients in order to separate ovarian
cancer from prostate.
The last few decades have seen a surge in the political
division of people according to classes in order to ascribe
collective guilt or collective victimhood. Men subjugate women,
whites exploit minorities, Americans oppress the world. It
doesn't seem to matter what people do as individuals. The
relevant political factor has become: what class do you belong
to?
The ideal being lost here is individualism -- the belief that
each human being should be judged on his or her own actions and
merits.
Much of my life has been spent fighting for political causes,
like freedom of speech. I have argued endlessly against the use
of violence as a strategy for social change or as a valid
political statement. The people arguing against me usually held
some view of collective guilt that allowed them to dismiss as
irrelevant the possibility of innocent people being harmed.
Terrorists go one step farther. They target innocent
people. Or, rather, they define innocence in such a manner as to
include what a reasonable person would call a civilian. There
are no civilians in their war.
The terrorists will never stop. I know this because -- if I
believed in a political cause so deeply that I was willing to
die and kill by-standers -- I would never stop.
Happily, I believe in individual rights and personal
responsibility above all else. I also believe in the individual
goodness of Americans. But it is a goodness that must, for its
own safety, understand that terrorists desperately care for
"justice." But they define it in a violently different manner
that contradicts our cultural understanding...so violently
different that innocent people die.
In the justified and healthy rage that will follow the murder
of innocent, average Americans, I hope the fury is turned
against those who are individually responsible and not against
classes of people. Not Arabs in general, nor the innocent,
average citizens of other nations. To do so would only
perpetuate the vicious cycle from which terrorism was born in
the first place. |

"I have always believed that artists should never make compromises in their technique, their equipment and, most importantly, in their music making. Without the proper tools our artistic endeavors are always compromised. For this reason I have always strived to improve the Clarinet. After years of collaborating with Morrie, our journey has taken us beyond improving the Clarinet. We have redefined the instrument and what it should be an extension of one's expressive capabilities that frees and inspires the heart. I am excited to share our vision with you and hope these instruments will open for you a world of excitement and musical possibilities, just as they have done for me." |

The Rea slouch jumper I’m wearing here starts life in the Geelong area of Australia where it’s lambswool is specially sourced. But it really comes into its own among the family-owned mills of Britain where state of the art technology, colour laboratories and artisan skills and expertise is applied. That’s what I love about this brand. There’s purpose and attention to detail at every step. Genevieve Sweeney knitwear is a luxury product from a trusted brand. They don’t do ordinary! ” |
The synchondrosis between the greater horn and the body of the hyoid bone: a radiological assessment.
The synchondrosis between the greater horn and the body of the hyoid presents as a vertical radiolucent line, which may be mistaken for a fracture. The incidence of its presence on dental radiographs was assessed in two age groups. Since it is a normal feature in many hyoid bones, especially in the younger age group, it is important to identify it as such. |
Nonvolatile memory ICs, such as EEPROMS or flash, are used for storing digital information. Nonvolatile memory ICs maintain information stored in the memory cells even after power is removed or interrupted. Various applications use non-volatile memories, such as digital cameras or even replacements for the hard disk of a personal computer (PC). In some applications, such as system-on-chip (SoC), it may be desirable to integrate both nonvolatile and volatile memory on the same IC.
However, conventional techniques for forming non-volatile memory cells are quite complex. Furthermore, such processes are quite different from the processes of forming volatile memory cells, such as dynamic random access memories (DRAMs). This makes it difficult and costly to integrate both types of memory cells on a single IC.
From the foregoing discussion, it is desirable to provide a nonvolatile memory cell which can be easily fabricated, particularly one which can be fabricated along with volatile memory cells, such as DRAMs. |

This paper studies a model of optimal redistribution policies in which agents
face unemployment risk and in which savings may provide partial self-insurance. Moral
hazard arises as job search effort is unobservable. The optimal redistribution policies
provide new insights into how an unemployment insurance scheme should be designed:
First, the unemployment insurance policy is recursive in an agent's wealth level, and
thus independent of the duration of the unemployment spell. Second, the level of benefit
payments is negatively related to the agent's asset position. The reason behind the latter
result is twofold; in addition to the first-order insurance effect of wealth, an increase in
non-labor income (wealth) amplifies the opportunity cost of employment and thus reduces
the agent's incentive to search for a job.
During unemployment the agent decumulates assets and the sequence of benefit payments is observationally increasing - a result that stands in sharp contrast with previous
studies. |
Gently Off Eye and Lip Makeup Remover is a standard, but effective, dual-phase makeup remover with silicone. The plant extracts are a mix of fragrant rose and soothing cucumber, with rose extract not being the best for use around the eyes. Although this works very well, it doesn’t best less-expensive options from Almay or Neutrogena that are available at the drugstore.
What more can one say for this long-standing makeup line whose products have spoken eloquently for themselves for years? In many ways, M.A.C. Cosmetics is a pivotal line not only for makeup artists but also for any in-the-know cosmetics consumer. Although M.A.C. has several singularly outstanding products, they generally excel by virtue of the range of choices offered. The color selection for everything from lipsticks to foundations is exceptional. Most of the makeup brushes are beautiful, full, and soft, as well as properly sized to fit the contours of the face and eyes.
When it comes to skincare you may be tempted to dismiss the small assortment M.A.C. offers and skip right to their makeup with its well-earned positive reputation. But doing so would mean missing a handful of beautifully formulated products that are worth trying. By no means is M.A.C.'s skin-care line one-stop shopping (at least not if you have blemishes, skin discolorations, or require more than a couple options per category), but you'll find more than just the color products impressive here, and the prices aren't unreasonable either!
M.A.C.'s salespeople are often trained makeup artists, too. This is especially true in the freestanding M.A.C. boutiques, where the staff tends to be true makeup artists.
Note: M.A.C. sets itself apart from other beauty brands by staying ahead of the curve by launching a seemingly-constant rotation of impressive limited edition products, usually with fashion-forward themes. Though it's impossible to review every limited edition product, many of M.A.C.'s are as impressive as those in their permanent collection.
Strengths: Some impressive moisturizers; praiseworthy foundations in a mostly gorgeous range of shades; good concealers; several great powder-based products including blush, bronzer, and eyeshadow in various finishes; dizzying array of lipstick shades in mostly sumptuous formulas; several very good mascaras (regular and waterproof); top-notch makeup brushes; many of the Prep + Prime products work as claimed.
Weaknesses:A few products with high levels of potential skin irritants.
The new Beautypedia Team proudly and unequivocally maintains the commitment to help you find the best products possible for your skin. We do this by relentlessly pursuing and relying on published scientific research so you will have unbiased information on what works and what doesn't-and the sneaky ways you could be making your skin worse, not better!

There are a few mouth conditions so rare most of us have never heard of them. Geographic tongue would fall into this category, affecting only one to three percent of the population. Even so, these irregular reddish patches resembling land masses on a map (hence the name) might be alarming at first glance—but they pose no danger and usually cause very little discomfort.
Geographic tongue is also known as benign migratory glossitis. As its clinical name implies, the unusual red patchy areas (often surrounded by a grayish white border) aren't cancerous nor contagious. The patches also appear to change shape and move around ("migrate") the tongue.
The reddish appearance comes from the temporary disappearance of tiny bumps on the tongue surface called papillae, which can leave the tongue smooth to the touch in affected areas. The lost papillae may reappear again a few hours or days later, and may occasionally disappear again. While it's not painful, you can experience a stinging or burning sensation emitting from these patchy areas.
We're not sure how and why geographic tongue erupts, but it's believed high emotional or psychological stress, hormonal imbalance or certain vitamin deficiencies might be factors in its cause. There may also be a link between it and psoriasis, a condition that can cause dry, itchy patches on the skin.
If you're one of the rare individuals who has episodes of geographic tongue, the good news is it's harmless, only mildly uncomfortable and usually temporary. The bad news, though, is that there's no known cure for the condition—but it can be managed to ease discomfort during outbreaks.
It's been found that highly acidic and spicy foods, as well as astringents like alcohol or some mouthrinses, can increase the level of discomfort. By avoiding these or similar foods or substances, you can reduce the irritation. Your dentist may also be able to help by prescribing anesthetic mouthrinses, antihistamines or steroid ointments.
For the most part, you'll simply have to wait it out. Other than the mild, physical discomfort, the worst part is often simply the appearance of the tongue. But by watching your diet and other habits, and with a little help from us, you can cope with these irritations when it occurs. |

Halftones used in the printing process are comprised of dots. Such dots are arranged in a pattern to form an image. Colors used in such dots are calibrated to a standard set of colors in a process called linearization. Through the act of repeated printings, a print device may become out of alignment resulting in a disruption of the expected print paper, such as streaking or splotching. There is a current need in the art for an improved means by which the printing device may be put back into alignment with the standard set of colors.
Accordingly, there is disclosed herein a method and/or system which overcomes the above referenced problems. |
Q:
Form reloading in C#.net
I have a form i am fetching many records from database that are rendering dynamical on from. When i am clicking on Delete button this is deleting as well but I want to re-render my form so user will feel that records is deleted completely. when i am writing code this.refresh(); this is not fetching values from database and i am not seeing record is completely gone. It is windows C# form.
A:
The methods Form.Refresh and Form.Invalidate have nothing to do with causing the application to retrieve new data from the database.
Form.Refresh - redraws the form synchronously (i.e. Form.OnPaintBackground and Form.OnPaint are called directly on the current thread).
Form.Invalidate - redraws the form asynchronously (i.e. WM_PAINT message is sent to the window, so Form.OnPaintBackground and Form.OnPaint will be called by the UI thread when it handles messages).
In order to update records, you need to make your control retrieve updated data.
If you specify more details on how the Form pulls that data, someone can help you figure out how to update it. For example, are you using data binding? Did you write your own code to retrieve the records?
Basically, without seeing your code, I would say you can take whatever it is you are doing in the constructor and put it in a separate method (let's call it RefreshData). Then, call RefreshData after you delete records from the database.
So, you're creating new controls that represent the data. In that case, there's no mechanism to automatically do the updating work for you, you'll have to code it. You generally have two options:
Keep a reference to the controls you created, and remove them from the Form before updating it.
Implementing something more efficient, like maintain a Dictionary that maps from the Data Rows to the controls that represent it, so that you can go over the updated data, and for each row in your dictionary that disappeared from the data, remove the controls.
You may also want to consider using some control that has a built-in Data Binding mechanism that would save you lots of work. For example, a GridView.

New treatments for COPD in the elderly.
In elderly people the respiratory function is affected by anatomical and physiological modifications caused by aging. Elderly COPD patients are characterized by a complexity due to an increasing prevalence of comorbidities related to the age that suggest peculiar care in prescribing the therapy in those patients, also considering other disabilities that are not related with respiratory disorders as physical and mental limitations. Nowadays a therapy that allows modifying the long-term decline in lung function of patients suffering from COPD does not yet exist and, therefore, the treatment of this disease is mainly focused on the administration of bronchodilators and the use of inhaled glucocorticoids. As for younger subjects, also in elderly patients the main classes of bronchodilators used in the treatment of COPD include β2-agonists, anticholinergics and methylxanthines. The inflammatory response suppression represents another mechanistic approach for treating COPD in the elderly, although the use of inhaled corticosteroids is limited to specific indications. Indeed, nowadays there is a strong medical need for novel treatments of COPD in the elderly. These are mainly represented by agents that reduce the spillover of inflammatory mediators from the lung and by compounds that inhibit the chronic systemic inflammatory syndrome. The therapeutic approach of COPD in elderly patients remains a topic of increasing interest, however the development of novel compounds for preventing the COPD progression in the elderly, other than bronchodilators and corticosteroids, remains a challenge. |

Killer robots have been in the news quite a bit lately, even drawing the attention of major international human rights groups who have launched a campaign to stop the runaway development of robots for war.
The military-industrial complex and their partners in the Congressional “drone caucus” are reaping big profits from machine warfare. The rapid increase in computing power at a reduced cost is making a full-spectrum drone surveillance and weapons grid a very real possibility.
Most disturbing is that this war-matrix is projected to have the capability to make decisions independent of human review, despite Pentagon assurances that this will never be the case.
It is this autonomous decision making without accountability, as well as the theoretical self-propagation of robots coupled with AI computer interface systems, that is drawing the most concern.
As the video below covers, Cambridge University has now launched a “Terminator” study program known officially as the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk.
There is no question that technology can open doors to terrific developments which can enhance the human experience. In fact, technological progress can be a serious threat to Elite power. However, if we permit technology to be used against us by warmongers and central controllers, particularly within areas like nanotechnology, robotics and neuroscience, we are likely to see a door open up to very sinister possibilities.
It is the job of every individual to stay informed so that we can alter our track toward one of increased prosperity and self-directed freedom.

Q:
Hibernate @Transient MappingException
I am trying to add a Transient property to my Embeddable class. Here is what I have:
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
@Data
@Builder
@Embeddable
public class PackageProduct
{
@Field
private String productId;
@Transient
private Product product;
}
And PackageProduct is used in Package.java like this;
@ElementCollection(targetClass=PackageProduct.class, fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
private Set<PackageProduct> packageProducts;
However, this throws the following exception:
Caused by: org.hibernate.MappingException: Could not determine type for: *.*.*.Product, at table: Package_packageProducts, for columns: [org.hibernate.mapping.Column(packageProducts.product)]
The exception is no longer thrown if I annotate my PackageProduct class with this:
@Access(AccessType.FIELD)
I am trying to understand why it works with the class level @Access annotation. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
A:
In hibernate either you can apply all annotations on fields or methods, simultaneously mix use is not allow.To override this @Access is needed.In your product class if you are using such case, rectify this.

Global genome initiatives including the Human Genome Project have generated enormous amounts of information, spawned new technologies and catalyzed the emergence of a new type of biology which attempts to build biological knowledge from the global analysis of biological systems and pathways from genes to proteins. Consequently, there is a growing need to develop means of global assessment that will ultimately provide a more clear understanding of biology at the functional protein level. Because both protein activity and turnover are tied closely to protein post-translational modification (e.g., phosphorylation and ubiquitination), new technologies must be developed to allow for the large-scale identification, characterization, and quantification of protein post-translational modifications. Reversible protein phosphorylation is a general event affecting countless cellular processes. In addition to a critical role in normal physiology, malfunctions in protein phosphorylation have been implicated in the etiology of many diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. Although protein phosphorylation is an intense research area, the large-scale isolation and identification of phosphorylation sites is an unsolved problem. We propose to develop a series of novel technologies for the isolation, identification, and quantification of proteins modified by phosphorylation on a large (ultimately global) scale in biological samples from cells and tissues. This new strategy will be a highly integrated approach using strong cation exchange (SCX) chromatography for phosphopeptide enrichment, nano-scale microcapillary liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for phosphopeptide sequencing, and stable isotope incorporation for quantitative phosphoproteomics. In addition, we will apply the strategy to identify tens of thousands of phosphorylation sites from both primary tissues and cell lines. |

“There’s people in Venezuela who are being abused, who are dying, or are being fired because they think different (from the government),” added Sarfatti.
Political scientist Angel Alvarez fled to Canada from Venezuela four years ago because, he said, he no longer had the academic freedom to teach.

The Canadian unions are undermining the international momentum that is required to force Maduro to step down and make way for peaceful elections, said Alvarez, who received his doctorate at Notre Dame University in the U.S. and was a department head at the Central University of Venezuela in Caracas.
“I think that they (the unions) are biased by ideological prejudice about previous experiences of the U.S. intervention in South America,” said Alvarez.
While he agrees the American history of intervention in Latin America has given rise to dictators and led to much bloodshed, he said the current situation is much different.
“They do not take into account the current situation in Venezuela needs strong diplomatic pressure on the government of Maduro and the military in order to find a peaceful solution.”
Hassan Yussuff, the president of the Canadian Labour Congress, said he understands how hard the crisis is for the Venezuelan people, and how important it is to find a peaceful, negotiated solution.
“I’m not approaching this from an ideological (perspective). I can’t speak for others; I’m speaking for myself,” said Yussuff, who is also the president of the Trade Union Confederation of the Americas, which has members in Venezuela. |

Kerry confirms US helping train Syrian opposition
Secretary of State John Kerry confirmed to Fox News that the U.S. is training anti-Assad forces in the Syria conflict, saying Tuesday the hope is to convince President Bashar Assad to "change his current calculation."
Kerry, speaking to Fox News in Doha, Qatar, became the first U.S. official to acknowledge the off-site training on the record. He would not go into detail about the training, describing it as "one part" of the U.S. effort and something that "a lot of countries" are doing. |

Travel in the North Caucasus: challenging the curious
For those tourists in the North Caucasus who seek out more unusual attractions than spending time swimming in the Black Sea or hiking in the mountains, the region can suggest some extraordinary experiences.
Kremlin – gift for a sweetheart
It looks like the Kremlin, but it’s not. What began as a farm surveillance system eventually became a local landmark in the small southern Russian village of Novy, in the Krasnodar region.
The replica of the Kremlin tower is just six meters tall, but is equipped with powerful lights, a video camera and a remote control.
Retired engineer and now farmer, Mikhail Shurov, built it as a gift for his wife, but it stands guard over a farm.
“In April we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary,” Shurov said.
“So we made an album called ‘Moscow’. There were close-up pictures of the Kremlin tower in it. So this is how I came up with the idea”.
News about the makeshift monument spread fast. The neighbors often thank Mikhail for its giant clock, which can be seen from just about every house in the village. Now the owners hope to turn it into a real tourist attraction, so that others can check Moscow time many miles from the capital.
Scary ruins
For those who prefer something more authentic, there are guided tours of an abandoned Soviet-era prison camp in Novosadovy village, also in the Krasnodar region.
Konstantin Merkulov, a tourist from Siberia, said he wanted to see for himself something he hopes not to experience in reality.
“Life isn’t easy. You have to know things. Or at least be prepared, so that you don’t end up in a place like this”.
Almost “military” flight
And for those who crave altitude and adventure, there’s always the airfield near Pitsunda, in the Republic of Abkhazia, neighboring to Russia – it’s giving visitors the unique thrill of taking off in a military plane.
When the skies are quiet, the pilot has permission to entertain tourists with flights on the delta plane, which has been used by the Abkhazian air force in real combat and reconnaissance missions.
Vyacheslav Khromykh, one of Abkhazia’s few military pilots, said that in clear skies, tourists and locals can appreciate the beauty of the coast and mountains.
“Even Abkhazians themselves, when they get up in the sky, say “I knew that this country was gorgeous, but I never imagined how beautiful it really is,” Khromykh noted.
Eduard Maigov, a tourist from Moscow, was on the beach with his family when they saw the plane. They immediately swapped the seaside for an aerial adventure.
“You can see everything as if it were on a 3D-map,” said Maigov.
“It’s fun to fly. And when the engine is off – it’s so quiet”.
So if you’re one of those circling the globe for something you haven’t tried before, you might consider the northern Caucasus for your next travels. |

Position-specific Asp-Lys pairing can affect signal sequence function and membrane protein topology.
Positively charged amino acids are major determinants of the topology of bacterial inner membrane proteins, whereas negatively charged residues by themselves have little or no influence on the transmembrane orientation. Further, positively charged amino acids can very efficiently block the function of signal sequences when placed immediately downstream, while negatively charged residues are much less potent also in this regard. Here, we show that a negatively charged aspartic acid situated close to a positively charged lysine can attenuate both of these effects in a position-specific manner, suggesting that intra- or intermolecular charge pairing can modulate the interactions between positively charged residues in the nascent chain and parts of the secretory machinery or membrane phospholipids. These observations further underscore the importance of charged amino acids during protein translocation and membrane protein assembly. |

Q:
Split string into list of words and separators
Given this string:
one#two*three#four#five*
What is a fast solution to extract the list of Pairs?
Each pair contains the word with its separator character like this:
[
['one', '#'],
['two', '*'],
['three', '#'],
['four', '#'],
['five', '*']
]
Specifically in my case I want to use both white space and new line characters as separators.
A:
You'd need a regular expression:
(\w+)([#|*])

Member of LDS Family Fellowship Weigh-in
LDS Family Fellowship (http://ldsfamilyfellowship.org) is a diverse group of individuals, mostly parents with gay children, active in helping to establish equal rights for their gay children. This is a post where they can add their feeling from watching the film “Blessing.”
“Blessing” is a powerful, short film about the nuances encountered in typical LDS families with gay members. Mr. Williams has done a masterful job in laying bare the subtle and not so subtle forms of discrimination within a family that is obviously trying to be tolerant while not showing approval for an out gay family member they don’t understand or approve. The film utilizes a particularly poignant interaction in the relationship between a father and his gay son, their ecclesiastical leaders and other family members to serve as an example of the tension that exists when unconditional love and tolerance are not proffered. It is a beautiful film with a great message for everyone. – Gary Watts |
Simulation in surgical training using freeze dried material.
The acquisition of manual dexterity and surgical skills is usually achieved in the operating theatre under supervision. We describe an efficient way of learning intestinal anastomosis procedures with the use of gamma irradiated, lyophilized porcine or bovine tissues together with a purpose designed holding jig. Preliminary evaluation of this method with untrained subjects showed that they were able to improve their performance. Because the tissues are sterile, health hazards are avoided and no special laboratory facilities are required. This approach has promise as an aid to evaluation as well as training. |
