Letterman's Roundtable
Matt Baker - "When Bryn gets going, when Bryn gets playing, he looks really good. But, he gets off beat, that’s when you see him try to force some throws, throws into coverage. He locks onto a receiver and makes up his mind before the snap. I think when he’s in the zone, he’s great; when it’s off then the whole offense is off, that’s when you see the struggles."

You Don't Have to be an Evil Genius to Turn Your Smartphone Into a Cosmic Ray Detector
Physicist Justin Vandenbroucke of the University of Wisconsin-Madison has created a new app that uses a smartphone's image sensor to detect cosmic rays -- something that has in the past required multi-million pound observatory equipment to achieve.
While cosmic rays are still one of the more puzzling aspects of the universe, scientists have been able to agree on the theory that they consist of subatomic particles created by black holes and the aftermath of supernova events. These particles eventually make their way to the Earth's atmosphere, where they transform into a secondary particle known as a muon.
The Android app (which could theoretically run on any smartphone platform provided it has a camera) harnesses the "photoelectric effect", the moment that light particles (photons) hit a silicon surface and deliver an electric charge. The photoelectric effect works the same for muons, so when they hit a semiconductor within a smartphone camera, that electric release can be logged by the app.
It's not quite as simple as just side-loading the app to a phone and firing it up though -- the phone's camera lens can interfere with results, so that must be covered with duct tape first. But once that's done, so long as the screen is facing up, the app can start tracking muon activity with relative accuracy -- even if the phone is tucked away in a drawer.
While, unlike in the comic books, cosmic rays can't be used to give you superhuman powers, Vandenbroucke hopes that his app will help physics students better understand the universe, without needing to visit a remote and observatory. Instructions on how to install the app can be found here. [University of Wisconsin-Madison] |
Novel patents and cancer therapies for transforming growth factor-beta and urokinase type plasminogen activator: potential use of their interplay in tumorigenesis.
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) plays different roles in health and disease. TGF-β has been assumed as a dual factor in tumor growth, since it can repress epithelial tumor development in early stages, while it acts as a tumor promoter in the late stages of tumor progression. The cancer cells, during cancerogenesis, acquire migration and invasion capacities and finally they metastasize. The urokinase type plasminogen activator (uPA) system, comprised of uPA, the cell surface receptor (uPAR) and plasminogen-plasmin, is involved in the proteolytic degradation of the extracellular matrix and it also regulates several critical cellular events by its capacity to trigger the activation of intracellular signaling pathways. This enables the cancer cell survival, its dissemination, and enhancement of cell malignancy during tumor progression. The expression of both uPA and uPAR is finely regulated in normal development, but their expression is deregulated in cancer. TGF-β regulates uPA expression in cancer cells while uPA, by conversion of plasminogen to active form, plasmin, may release TGF-β from its latent state. Thus, these pathways cross-regulate each other by mutual feedback contributing to tumor progression. Here, we review the specific roles and the interplay between TGF-β and uPA system in cancer cells, the current cancer therapies and the novel patents focused mainly on uPA and TGF-beta ligands and their cell surface receptors respectively. Finally, with regard to the mutual activity of uPA and TGF-β in tumorigenesis, the aim of this review is to expose the potentiality of TGF-β and uPA systems as becoming combinatorial targets for therapies and patents. |

Q:
How to use a method provided by active_support outside of rails
How can I use a method that is defined in ActiveSupport module?
For example I wanted to use camelize method.
I tried this code, but it didn't work with undefined method error.
require 'active_support'
"foo_bar".camelize
A:
You can require just the part that supplies camelize, rather than all of Active Support:
require 'active_support/core_ext/string'
"camel_this".camelize => "CamelThis"
A:
You'll need to do require 'active_support/all'
This explains it...

The efficient control of insects has long presented man with a vexatious problem, particularly with respect to insects which compete with man for food supplies and other vegetable material or contribute to the spread of disease. The twin concerns of world wide hunger and recent awareness of environmental and health effects from the use of chemical insecticides has further compounded this ancient problem.
With the realization that many of the chemicals which have been used to control insects are toxic not only to the insects themselves but to man as well, attention has been focused on other means of effecting control of insects which do not possess environmentally objectionable characterics.
One area of recent interest has been the isolation, extraction or synthesis of substances which are secreted by insects of one sex to attract the insect of the opposite sex. Combined with suitable means for either traping and destroying the insects or interfering with their reproductive cycle, these substances offer a future hope of controlling insect populations in an environmentally acceptable manner.
Unfortunately, although the substances secreted as sex pheromones by various insects can be identified, obtaining them is useful quantities has proven difficult. The amount of attractant actually secreted by the insect is extremely small--in the order of nanograms--thereby effectively precluding the insects themselves as a natural sources for the material. In addition, synthetic means for isolating insect sex pheromones have proven to be difficult and expensive.
Naturally occuring insect sex pheromones are known to possess generally a common molecular structure of a linear chain of carbon atoms with one or more double bonds and a remote functional group such as an acetate ester or aldehyde. These compounds can take several isomeric forms and it is recognized that the relative proportions of the respective geometric isomers are critical to their function as insect sex pheromones.
Unfortunately the preparation of the individual isomers chemically or their separation from a mixture has heretofore been both difficult and expensive, thereby effectively precluding production of these pheromones synthetically at attractive cost and in suitable quantities for commercial use.
While the prior art has suggested the formation of inclusion complexes as a means for carrying out some chemical separations of organic compounds, it has not previously been recognized or suggested that synthetic insect sex pheromones could effectively be isolated in this manner. More specifically and with particular regard to compounds having the structural characteristics of insect sex pheromones there has not been a recognition of a structural relationship between the dimensions of the inclusion complex and the size and position of functional groups which relationship would permit separation of the geometric isomers.
Examples of prior work in this area generally are as follows: |
Q:
Vertical spring spacer CSS
I'm new here at stack overflow. :-)
How can I create a div that automatically change it's height to get all the space filled?
I've tried with
height:"auto"
but doesn't work... :(
For example:
<div style="height:300px">
<div style="height:50px">...</div>
<div>The height of this div varies from page to page...</div>
<div style="height:???">SPROING!!</div>
<div style="height:50px">...</div>
</div>
EDITED the example to match better my needings.
Thanks.
A:
Unfortunately there isn't a pure CSS way to do it since what you're trying to do is:
spring height = parent height - n children's height
You can do it pretty easily with some jQuery though:
Markup
<div id="parent">
<div id="top">...</div>
<div id="spring">SPROING!!</div>
<div id="bottom">...</div>
</div>
jQuery
var leftover = $('#parent').height() - $('#top').height() - $('#bottom').height();
$('#spring').height(leftover);
In action here.

Rabies virus assembly and budding.
Rabies virus (RABV) and other negative-strand RNA viruses are the causes of serious diseases in humans and animals worldwide. Assembly and budding are important late events in the replication cycles of these negative-strand RNA viruses that have received much attention in the past decade. Indeed, important insights into the molecular mechanisms by which rhabdoviral proteins usurp and/or interact with host proteins to promote efficient virion assembly and egress has greatly enhanced our understanding of the budding process. Assembly/budding of rhabdoviruses is driven largely by the matrix (M) protein. RABV M protein contains a late budding domain that mediates the recruitment of host proteins linked to the vacuolar protein sorting pathway of the cell to facilitate virus-cell separation. This chapter summarizes our current knowledge of the roles that both RABV M protein and interacting host proteins play during the budding process. |
Aircraft wheels typically comprise a heat shield that shields the aircraft wheel from heat generated by the aircraft brakes during braking. The heat shield may oscillate independently from the aircraft wheel, thus creating potential for contact between the heat shield and the aircraft wheel. Such contact may be detrimental to the aircraft wheel, especially where there is repeated contact over time. Accordingly, a spacer may be used to prevent contact between the heat shield and the aircraft wheel. A spacer and heat shield together may be referred to as a heat shield assembly. However, conventional spacers have been difficult to install and prone to damage due to improper installation. Thus, new systems and methods for heat shield assemblies are desirable. |

Donald Trump poses an "existential threat" to humanity that must be countered with "urgent and dedicated" action, Noam Chomsky has warned.
"Ridicule is not enough" to defeat the US President, said the renowned academic, who called for direct activism to combat the Republican administration's policies.
The linguist and political philosopher identified Mr Trump's stance on global warming and nuclear weapons as the two biggest threats posed by his presidency.
He told the New York Times: "The most important issues to address are the truly existential threats we face: climate change and nuclear war.
"On the former, the Republican leadership, in splendid isolation from the world, is almost unanimously dedicated to destroying the chances for decent survival; strong words, but no exaggeration."
Mr Trump last month announced the US would withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change, while on Thursday he said he was considering "severe things" following North Korea testing an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Mr Chomsky warned the President's vow to strengthen and expand the country's nuclear arsenal, coupled with global tensions, "poses extraordinary dangers".
He said: "In these cases, citizen action can reverse highly dangerous programmes. It can also press Washington to explore diplomatic options - which are available - instead of the near-reflexive resort to force and coercion in other areas, including North Korea and Iran."
He added: "There are in fact many ways to combat the Trump project of creating a tiny America, isolated from the world, cowering in fear behind walls while pursuing the Paul Ryan-style domestic policies that represent the most savage wing of the Republican establishment."
Stephen Hawking has a chilling warning about Trump and climate change
Referencing Mr Trump's position on climate change, Mr Chomsky said: "The performances are so utterly absurd regarding the 'post-truth' moment that the proper response might best be ridicule."
But he added: "Ridicule is not enough. It’s necessary to address the concerns and beliefs of those who are taken in by the fraud, or who don’t recognise the nature and significance of the issues for other reasons.
"Beyond that, what is needed is action: urgent and dedicated, in the many ways that are open to us."
A leading psychiatrist warned in May that Mr Trump's mental health posed an "existential threat" to the world because of his power to launch nuclear weapons.
John Zinner said the President's inability to feel guilt made humanity “vulnerable” to his “inner rage”. |
[Polyamines and activity of acid peptide-hydrolases in hyperoxia].
The content of spermidine and spermine polyamines in the rat brain under hyperoxic convulsions and four hours after convulsions decreases sharply. The intraperitoneal administration of polyamines before hyperbaric oxygenation decreased the rate of development of hyperoxic convulsions in rats. In the model experiments polyamines prevented changes in the acid peptide-hydrolase activity in the lysosomal and soluble fractions, which occur under hyperoxia. |

Mechanistic and other considerations in cancer prevention.
Possibilities for the prevention of cancer, particularly in relation to the food supply, are considered. It is suggested that the growing realization that cancer may be induced by more than one mechanism combined with a present lack of knowledge of the nature and level of naturally-occurring carcinogens in food crops, makes successful prevention in humans exceedingly difficult. |
Q:
How to append a link to a table using Javascript?
I have an ajax function that calls a method that returns a JSON file. I want to pull the information from the JSON and append it to the table. Which I can do like this:
function updateHome() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '@Url.Action("GetHomePage", "Home")',
dataType: 'json',
success: function (result) {
response = $.parseJSON(result)
$(function () {
$.each(response, function (i, item) {
var table = document.getElementById("deviceTable");
var $tr = $('<tr class="accordion" id="'+item.mac+'">').append(
$('<td>').text(item.name),
$('<td>').text(item.loc),
$('<td>').text(item.com),
$('<td>').text(item.status)
).appendTo(table)
});
});
}
});
}
This works as intended. However, I want to make one of the td a link using <a href= but I'm not sure how I can achieve this using .text(). How can I add different HTML elements to this table?
Thanks!
A:
.text sets the text content of your selection. It protects you from unintentionally injecting HTML.
.html sets the html content of your selection. Use that for a HTML string, or alternatively, use .append:
$('<td/>').append(
$('<a/>', { href: '#', text: 'Anchor text' })
)

Marge: Well, Bart, I hope you're going straight to the principal about this!
Bart: I guess I could do that.
Homer: What? And violate the code of the schoolyard? I'd rather Bart die!
Marge: What on earth are you talking about, Homer?
Homer: The code of the schoolyard, Marge! The rules that teach a boy how to be a man! Let's see; don't tattle, always make fun of those different from you, never say anything unless you're sure everyone feel exactly the same way you do.
Grampa: [writing] I am disgusted with the way old people are depicted on television. We are not all vibrant, fun-loving sex maniacs.
Bart: [to Herman] Did you lose your arm in the war?
Herman: My arm? Well, let me put it this way: Next time your teacher tells you to keep your arm inside the bus window, you do it!
Bart: Yes sir, I will.
Herman: The key to Springfield has always been Elm Street. The Greeks knew it. The Carthaginians knew it. Now you know it.
Herman: First you'll need a declaration of war. I've got one here, just have to change the name from "Otto von Bismarck" to "Bart Simpson".
Grampa: Bart, you can push them out of a plane, you can march them off a cliff, you can send them off to die on some God-forsaken rock, but for some reason, you can't slap them. Now apologize to that boy immediately.
Herman: When he leaves the Kwik-E-Mart, we start the saturation bombing. You got the water balloons?
Bart: Two hundred rounds, sir. Is it okay if they say "Happy Birthday" on the side?
Herman: Well, I'd rather they say "Death from Above," but I guess we're stuck.
Homer: (stepping outside of the house) All right, you kids! Keep it down! Am I making myself--(gets hit with a water balloon)
Grandpa: (from up in the treehouse with Herman; laughs) Got him!
Homer: You, up in the tree. The tall, gray-haired kid. Get your butt down here right now! (gets hit with another water balloon and runs back inside)
Grampa: I thought I'd never hear the screams of pain or see the look of terror in a young man's eyes. Thank heaven for children.
Franklin: Don't hurt us! We surrender!: We were only following orders!
(Bart daydreams what it would be like if Nelson kills him, Milhouse comes forward)
Milhouse: Thanks Bart! We got a day off school for this!
Homer: Yeah, and I got the day off from work!
Marge: Homer!
Homer: (changes to a more suitable matter) But what's a day off from work when I'm never gonna see my beloved son again! (cries onto Bart's body)
Bart: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, contrary to what you've just seen, war is neither glamorous nor fun. There are no winners, only losers. There are no good wars, with the following exceptions: The American Revolution, World War II and the Star Wars trilogy. If you'd like to learn more about war, there are lots of books in your library with cool, gory pictures. Well, good night, everybody. Peace, man.

Column: Science and Politics Make a Poisonous Mixture
Steven Pinker, professor of psychology at Harvard University and author of such popular science books as The Blank Slate, recently wrote an essay for The New Republic in defense of science. From left and right, he notes, from intellectuals as well as from anti-intellectuals, science is under attack for its arrogance, vulgarity and narrowness of vision.
Why is this happening? Pinker asks. Because, he says, science is intruding on the humanities, disciplines lacking in vitality or any real purpose of their own, and the intrusion is resented. Far from deriding science as a campaign to diminish and oversimplify — to reduce beauty to brain chemistry, say, or ethics to natural selection — the humanities should welcome science as a source of new inspiration: “Surely our conceptions of politics, culture and morality have much to learn from our best understanding of the physical universe and of our makeup as a species.”
No doubt that’s true. And while we’re praising science, let’s agree that Pinker is right to call it a force for enormous social good in all the indisputable ways he mentions. Fine. Intelligent critics of “scientism” — the term they’ve adopted for science gone wrong — wouldn’t deny any of this.
Their most valid complaints are different — and Pinker ignores them, perhaps because he hasn’t understood them. Put simply, science is a force for good so long as it’s done well and its limits are recognized. But science isn’t always done well, and its limits aren’t always recognized. When it’s done badly or pushes past its proper bounds yet still expects to command respect, that’s scientism.
The most important limit to science arises from the distinction between facts and values. This isn’t to deny that science can shed light on values — lately an active area of research. Science can make moral values intelligible in physical terms. It can reveal what’s happening in the brain when a person wrestles with a moral dilemma; it can explain how certain moral instincts might confer an evolutionary advantage, or why they might persist. It can show that the supposed empirical basis for some moral values is simply false — for instance, as Pinker puts it, that “there is no such thing as fate, providence, karma, spells, curses, augury, divine retribution or answered prayers.”
“Though the scientific facts do not by themselves dictate values,” Pinker goes on, “they certainly hem in the possibilities.” He’s right about this — but the second point, though interesting, is much less important than the first. Science can’t dictate values. That’s what matters. And because it can’t dictate values, it can’t dictate courses of action.
Pinker forgets this almost as soon as he’s said it: In combination “with a few unexceptionable convictions — that all of us value our own welfare and that we are social beings who impinge on each other and can negotiate codes of conduct — the scientific facts militate toward a defensible morality, namely adhering to principles that maximize the flourishing of humans and other sentient beings.” This emerging “de facto morality of modern democracies” provides “the moral imperatives we face today.”
Really? Perhaps Pinker needs to widen his circle of acquaintances. Ideas of what constitutes human flourishing vary a lot even within relatively homogeneous societies. Variation from society to society, or culture to culture, is far bigger. How to combine the principles that maximize the flourishing of humans is disputable — and always will be. The conflicting demands of individual liberty, family loyalty and social solidarity (to name just three of many such principles) can’t be resolved by means of facts. There’s no one right formula.
Claiming otherwise isn’t a harmless error. It’s politically toxic. If Pinker believes that the facts are militating toward a scientific morality, what does that say about the people who take a different view of human flourishing? You no longer have a good-faith disagreement between people with different values — you have a clash between scientific enlightenment and intellectual backwardness. That’s not the basis for friendly interaction. It’s no accident that the more aggressive kinds of scientism — the so-called New Atheism springs to mind — are bullying and intolerant. Intolerance isn’t conducive to human flourishing.
If science expects to command respect, it should not only be aware of its own limits, but it also should be practiced to a high standard. Pinker seems to take for granted that it will be. He applauds the scientific temperament. The defining practices of science “are explicitly designed to circumvent the errors and sins to which scientists, being human, are vulnerable.” Science is modest, you see — intent on testing itself. Any movement that “fails to nurture opportunities for the falsification of its own beliefs” does not qualify as scientific, he says.
Quite right. But you’d be hard-pressed to argue that all parts of the climate-science community, for instance, had nurtured opportunities for the falsification of their own beliefs. The emails published during the Climategate scandal suggest that was not a priority. Groupthink, getting with the program and extreme impatience with dissent seem more to the fore in some climate-science quarters than zealous self-criticism.
Climate science, a far-flung family of loosely related disciplines, is unusual because it has become closely aligned with a set of costly and controversial policy proposals. This political orientation raises a question: Which comes first — the science of climate or the art of persuasion?
Many climate scientists believe global warming requires urgent measures to cut greenhouse-gas emissions. They look despairingly at governments unable or unwilling to respond and campaign all the more aggressively. They have a case (I’m for a gradually increasing carbon tax, if you’re wondering), but their standing as advocates and activists has undermined their authority as disinterested scientists. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which will release its fifth assessment report on global warming next year, is likewise seen by many as an advocacy organization rather than a neutral compiler of scientific evidence.
This has done great harm: The scientist- advocates overreached and diminished their own effectiveness.
What to do about climate change is indeed a political question. Good science, along with good economics, is needed to inform the political judgment, but to claim that the science is settled and that the right policy is dictated by undisputed facts is false. The science isn’t settled, and even if it were, it wouldn’t dictate the policy. Voters know this, which is why the tactic didn’t work.
Science, for its own sake and everybody else’s, should keep a cautious distance from politics. |
Systemic lupus erythmatosus.
Systemic lupus erythmatosus (SLE) presents many challenges in pregnancy for the midwife who is increasingly being relied upon to act as coordinator of care, guiding women with complex and high risk medical conditions through maternity pathways, as part of an integrated team. The disease and its pharmacological management are implicated in a range of complications. Primary care provision involves using skilful clinical observation of abnormal signs and symptoms and referring appropriately. The midwife plays a vital role in facilitating primary care provision and all the appropriate support, whilst ensuring that evidence based information is readily available. This enables the woman and her family to achieve the most desirable outcome. |

Q:
sharedApplication() Doesn't working in Today Extension in swift
i'm new to swift, i have created a today widget , and i added a button to that. in the Action of that button, i want to launch a url in safari, but "sharedApplication( )" doesn't working, i'm using this code in Normal view controller :
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string: "facetime:mahdi@gmail.com")!)
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
but its not working in Today App Extension.
A:
You can't use sharedApplication from an app extension.
Today widgets can open urls using the openUrl:completionHandler: method on NSExtensionContext, so you could do:
extensionContext?.openURL(NSURL(string: "facetime:mahdi@gmail.com")!, completionHandler: nil)
You should be doing this in the tap handler for your button though, not in viewDidLoad.
But note that the apple documentation states:
IMPORTANT
Apple allows any Today widget to use the
openURL:completionHandler: method to open the widget’s own containing
app.
If you employ this method to open other apps from your Today widget,
your App Store submission might entail additional review to ensure
compliance with the intent of Today widgets.
To learn more, read App Store Review Guidelines and iOS Human
Interface Guidelines, linked to from Apple’s App Review Support page

The regulation of human globin promoters by CCAAT box elements and the recruitment of NF-Y.
CCAAT boxes are motifs found within the proximal promoter of many genes, including the human globin genes. The highly conserved nature of CCAAT box motifs within the promoter region of both α-like and β-like globin genes emphasises the functional importance of the CCAAT sequence in globin gene regulation. Mutations within the β-globin CCAAT box result in β-thalassaemia, while mutations within the distal γ-globin CCAAT box cause the Hereditary Persistence of Foetal Haemoglobin, a benign condition which results in continued γ-globin expression during adult life. Understanding the transcriptional regulation of the globin genes is of particular interest, as reactivating the foetal γ-globin gene alleviates the symptoms of β-thalassaemia and sickle cell anaemia. NF-Y is considered to be the primary activating transcription factor which binds to globin CCAAT box motifs. Here we review recruitment of NF-Y to globin CCAAT boxes and the role NF-Y plays in regulating globin gene expression. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Nuclear Factor Y in Development and Disease, edited by Prof. Roberto Mantovani. |
Q:
Compile objective c into dylib
I have an Objective-C source file that I would like to compile as a dylib. I can't figure out how to do this anywhere. I don't care how to do it if it's Xcode or gcc, I just want it to compile.
Thanks!
A:
You can do this with Xcode. Xcode is just set up by default to prevent you from doing it. You can modify some XML files after installing (Xcode), and then it will let you configure your project as a dynamic library, instead of a normal iOS app (or static library).
See this link for instructions
and also this other answer for some more information on this issue, including the full instructions contained on the link above (in case the link someday dies).

Q:
Change checkbox to change in db in rails?
I have a table "User" with "admin" is "true" or "false". I show it with checkbox_feild. How can i change db if i clicked in checkbox? Thanks all.
<% @users.each do |user| %>
<%= form_for user, do |f| %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.check_box :admin%>
</div>
<% end %>
<% end %>
A:
One way is to write a jquery script that submits the form when checkbox is clicked
<% @users.each do |user| %>
<%= form_for user,:html => {class: 'form'} do |f| %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.check_box :admin%>
</div>
<% end %>
<% end %>
Jquery script would be:
$('.form input[type=checkbox]').change(function(){
$(".form").submit();
});

What You Do in the Dark Will Come to the Light
This is a phrase from the New Testament and, to me, it applies to many different things. One afternoon I walked into our meeting room at Jets camp and told it to my guys. 'What you do in the dark will come to the light, boys. You gotta remember that.' Well, that sent them reeling. They all went, 'Oh, man . . .' Every single guy was saying to himself, 'What did I do last night?' You could see their brains at work, thinking, 'What did I do in the dark? What does he know about what I did in the dark? What is he talking about? Is he talking about me?' I guarantee it made them think.
What it means is that what you do when nobody is watching will surface at some point when someone is watching. And that means both the good things and the bad. If you're working out and eating right when nobody is watching, eventually someone's going to notice you've lost weight or become more fit. If you're always drinking and staying out late away from the job, eventually the job will notice that you're tired, run down, and ineffective.
When I had issues growing up, I wasn't very effective in practice or in class. If I was dealing with problems with girls or friends or the trouble they were trying to pull me into and I was trying to listen in the classroom and then listen to the coach, it just didn't work. I couldn't deal with problems outside the classroom and off the field and be effective in the classroom and on the field. Fortunately, I figured out early in my life what it was I wanted to do, and I found a way to rid myself of the problems that were threatening my progress. I also found a way to say no to the temptations that lure a young man to the wrong side of the street. Once I knew that going that way wasn't preparing me the right way to accomplish my goals, then it was clear what I should and should not do.
Now, that's not to say I wasn't on the edge at times. What I learned, though, was as soon as my friends led me to that edge, to turn and go in the other direction. I knew if they were going to Fifth Street, I had to check out by Fourth Street. Becoming a professional football player wasn't just a goal for me, it was a passion, and I wasn't about to let vice and foolishness deter me in my quest. Once I got my issues cleaned up, I was able to focus on the right things I needed to do, and I got things done.
What I tell my players is what I learned way back then: that until you get your outside problems cleaned up, you'll never accomplish what you want to accomplish. Your problems might be partying a little too much or way too much, or even staying up too late watching TV at night and not getting enough sleep. I think all players understand that issues will show up at some point. They all think they're fooling everybody until one day their issues show up on the field. They're a step slow, or they're winded early, or their reactions are delayed. And once their issues show up on the field, then their issues become my issues.
'Because,' I tell them, 'I just let my team down because I trusted you to go out there and play, and you didn't come through because you didn't clean up your issues away from the game. So now I don't trust you, and if I don't trust you, you can't play.'
My players expect me to put the best players on the field. And those are the players who have prepared themselves mentally and physically in the dark and in the light. I am accountable to the team for making the right decisions. And if what some guy is doing behind the scenes isn't conducive to his being prepared, then we'll all find out soon enough.
This is all about making sure your life is in order to do what it is that you want to do-doing whatever it takes to get yourself ready for the task at hand.
During my first day of class at Berkeley, one of the professors told us, 'Here are the books you should read. I don't take roll. I don't care if you come to class. All you are required to do is take the midterm and the final. That's all you've got to do.' At first I was thinking, 'Wow, this is great! I don't even have to go to class.' But I soon realized that if I didn't go to class and I didn't do the reading, then I wasn't going to pass the midterm or the final. If I wasn't prepared, it would come to light on that report card.
I've had players show up for training camp who tried hard to convince me that they had worked hard during the off-season and were ready for camp. 'Oh, yeah, coach. I ran sand hills. I was in the weight room. I was a workout freak. I'm ready to go.' Halfway through the first day, they're gassed. That's the easiest example of showing how what you do-or don't do-in the dark will come to the light. There is just no way to fake being in shape. Mia Hamm, the great soccer player on the U.S. Women's World Cup team, said, 'Great soccer players are made when nobody is watching.' She was referring to her relentless workouts during the off-season, and it applies to everything else, too.
Say you're trying to lose weight and you're on a program that is bound to help you lose that weight, which most likely involves eating less of the bad foods and exercising more. So you're walking or running, you're getting some weight work in and eating healthy food, and pretty soon you start seeing results. So you're happy about that and proud of yourself and thrilled with what's going on, and that's a good thing. But maybe one night you decide, well, maybe just this once, I'm going to skip that workout or eat those brownies over there because they sure look good and nobody's around, so why not? And then the next night it's something else. But nobody's watching, right? And you're still down a few pounds, and you're feeling good, so why not? But then gradually it becomes a habit, and you keep making excuses. Pretty soon all that weight has come back on, and you don't know why, and none of your friends know why because all they've seen is you trying hard, working out, and ordering the right stuff when you go to lunch. But you know why, really. You know it's what you were doing when they weren't around that has sabotaged your efforts.
The best thing I can do as a coach is prepare my team to come out on Sunday, where they will be judged. What we do in the dark comes to the light every Sunday.
The best thing I can do as a man is make sure that what I do in the dark is something I am not afraid to do in the light. |

Demonstration of calcitonin and calmodulin by immunoperoxidase in the cystic fibrosis lung.
In this investigation, the presence of calcitonin and calmodulin has been demonstrated in immunoperoxidase formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of lung from autopsy tissues of four patients who died as a result of complications resulting from their cystic fibrosis disease. Immunoreactive calcitonin has been stained and quantitated in solitary endocrine cells which are increased in number and staining intensity in cystic fibrosis lung when compared to COPD and normal lungs. Immunoreactive calmodulin has been demonstrated to be increased in cystic fibrosis lung when compared to COPD and normal lungs. Previously, increased calcitonin and calmodulin were identified in sputum from cystic fibrosis patients utilizing radioimmunoassay. The calcitonin and calmodulin may be associated with increased calcium in pulmonary secretions leading to selective colonization of the lung by a limited number of pathogenic bacteria and enhanced pulmonary infection. |

It is commonly, but wrongly, assumed that we understand how iron gets into the brain. The problem with the existing paradigm is that it holds that the endothelial cells forming the blood-brain barrier serve simply as a conduit through which iron bound to transferrin passes. This paradigm is significantly flawed in multiple points but most notably it fails to account for the iron requirements of the endothelial cells or for a mechanism for regulating brain iron uptake. The conceptual framework for this proposal is that the endothelial cells of the BBB, far from serving as a simple conduit, are the focal point for the regulation for cerebral iron metabolism. We propose both in vivo and cell culture approaches to investigate the dynamics of brain iron uptake. We postulate that BBB endothelial cells store iron that can be released into the brain in response to external factors that are found in the extracellular fluid; thus for the first time demonstrating a regulatory system for movement of iron into the brain. Thus, upon completion of the proposed studies we will establish the significant and paradigm shifting concept that the endothelial cells control access of iron to the brain in response to their extracellular environment. In addition, this proposal will make the following specific new contributions to the existing paradigm for brain iron transport (i) add a novel mechanism for iron transport (ii) demonstrate non-transferrin-bound iron release from endothelial cells via ferroportin, a membrane-bound iron export protein (iii) reveal regulation of iron release from endothelial cells (iv) reveal endothelial cells store iron, which can be released in response to levels of proteins in the CSF or extracellular fluid (v) reveal that regulation of transferrin receptors in endothelial cells are responsive to the intracellular iron pool indicating that the iron content of the endothelial cells forming the BBB is the site at which transferrin mediated brain iron uptake is regulated. Moreover, the proposed studies will expand our knowledge of the dynamics of the iron management protein profiles in the microvasculature which will inform studies on human microvasculature such as our recent findings in the microvasculature of individuals with Restless Legs syndrome or the long-term changes in CSF protein profiles associated with iron deficiency despite the resolution of hematologic parameters. Thus, the studies proposed herein are essential to inform us about the functional significance of the altered profile status in the microvasculature and CSF in neurological disease. Most importantly, the studies are designed to understand the regulation of brain iron uptake and the adaptability of the systems for release and transport. The existence of an adaptive system in endothelial cells that responds to brain-derived signals is a completely novel concept for brain iron transport and will impact treatment concepts for developmental iron deficiency and adult neurological disorders involving impaired brain iron homeostasis. |
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone and in some cases referred to as a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA), is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. There are different kinds of drones. A drone may be an unmanned air system (UAS), unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), remote piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) and model aircraft. Its flight is controlled either autonomously by onboard computers or by the remote control of a pilot on the ground or in another vehicle. The typical launch and recovery method of an unmanned aircraft is by the function of an automatic system or an external operator on the ground. Historically, UAVs have been simple remotely piloted aircraft, but autonomous control is increasingly being employed.
UAV's are typically deployed for military and special operation applications, but also used in a small but growing number of civil applications, such as policing and firefighting, and nonmilitary security work, such as inspection of power or pipelines.
During use, a UAV may need to take off and land at a designated location. Such designated locations may include landing locations.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) may need to land in order to perform routine maintenance, charge on-board energy storage devices, swap on-board energy storage devices, refuel, and/or data transfer. UAVs can operate without a human operator on board the UAV. UAVs can comprise a variety of on board sensors and control systems. |

Hartmann test modification for measuring ophthalmic progressive lenses.
We describe a modified verion of the Hartmann test in which the pattern of the holes is replaced with a circular scanning laser beam. A position-sensitive detector is used to acquire the coordinates of the deflected beam. Significant data are obtained when the Fourier transform of the detector output signals is considered. Application of this test method to the mapping of optical parameters of ophthalmic progressive addition lenses is presented. Prismatic deviation, spherical power, and astigmatism are measured with appropriate accuracy. |
Q:
Create object from text
I have javascript text:
var textObject = '
{
news: [

"title":"aaa",
"desc":"bbb"
}, {
"title":"ccc",
"desc":"ddd"
} ]
};
'
but this is in text in my variable. If i have this in code html this working ok, but i get this data with ajax from PHP script.
So how can i convert/parse this text to object? If i have JSON then i can use JSON.parse(textObject); but this isn't json.
A:
Eval is frowned upon for a lot of reasons, however it also has its benefits if used properly, it is used for a lot of template engines and a few other things but it will convert a string to an object.
var someString = '{obj: "with content"}';
eval( someString );
Here is a working example with your string: http://jsfiddle.net/kkemple/CwzRh/

Antioxidant Use in Personal Care
Each day skin is exposed to some sort of oxidation, whether it be from sun exposure, pollution, heat or cold, free-radicals are being produced which can ultimately lead to cell damage. Antioxidants fight these free radicals, therefore, scientific evidence suggests antioxidants applied to skin via a personal care medium could protect and counteract the signs of aging skin (i.e., loss of elasticity, firmness and radiance).
As the skin benefits of antioxidants have made the news, their rise in popularity has increased immensely in the personal care industry. Antioxidants are not new to this business. They were first introduced to help fight oil rancidity in personal care products. These, of course, were mostly the vitamin-based antioxidants such as vitamin A, C and E. As scientific studies have increased in this realm, the antioxidant world has expanded. The largest increase has been seen with the use of the trendier non-vitamin antioxidants such as those in superfruits.
Superfruit is a word used to describe a fruit with above average health benefits and a high antioxidant or ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value. Examples of superfruits are acai, pomegranate, cranberry, blueberry and goji berry. All are said to have higher levels of antioxidants according to the ORAC scale. Extracts, butters and powders have been made from these fruits that can easily be incorporated into personal care products.
Grain Processing Corporation has developed a Pomegranate Body Lotion formula containing pomegranate butter as well as PURE-GEL® modified corn starch and MALTRIN® maltodextrin. The pomegranate is used as an antioxidant source. PURE-GEL® modified corn starch is used as the thickener providing a short, creamy texture while the MALTRIN® maltodextrin adds body and a rich consistency. If you would like more information on this formula, other formulas, or our products, please visit the Personal Care Market section of our website.

In recent years, the greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide in combustion exhaust gas generated upon combustion of fossil fuels has been one of major causes of global warming. Each country addresses reductions of greenhouse gas emissions based on Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Frameworks Convention on Climate Change to solve the problem.
Under such a circumstance, the study has been in progress on a carbon dioxide capture system that prevents the release into the air of carbon dioxide contained in combustion exhaust gas generated upon the combustion of a fossil fuel at thermal plants or other facilities where a large amount of the fossil fuel is consumed. Such a carbon dioxide capture system, after bringing the combustion exhaust gas into contact with an amine absorbing liquid, separates the carbon dioxide from the combustion exhaust gas and captures the separated carbon dioxide.
Specifically, the carbon dioxide capture system includes an absorber and a stripper. The absorber causes the carbon dioxide contained in the combustion exhaust gas to be absorbed in the amine absorbing liquid. The stripper heats the absorbing liquid (rich liquid) containing the absorbed carbon dioxide and supplied from the absorber, causes the carbon dioxide to be released from the rich liquid, and regenerates the absorbing liquid. The stripper is coupled to a reboiler configured to supply a heating source, and the rich liquid is heated within the stripper. The absorbing liquid (lean liquid) regenerated in the stripper is supplied to the absorber. The absorbing liquid circulates within the system.
In the carbon dioxide capture system, however, the combustion exhaust gas (decarbonated combustion exhaust gas) from which the carbon dioxide is absorbed in the amine absorbing liquid in the absorber is released together with amine into the air. Since a large amount of the combustion exhaust gas is discharged from the thermal plant or other facilities, a large amount of an amino group-containing component (amine) may be released together with the decarbonated combustion exhaust gas. Thus, when the carbon dioxide capture system is used in the thermal plant, it is desirable to efficiently reduce the amount of the amine to be released with the decarbonated combustion exhaust gas in the absorber into the air. |

Not surprising that The Grand Tour and The Man in the High Castle are the top
two. The Grand Tour is basically just Top Gear, which was one of the most
popular shows in the world when it was on, and The Man in the High Castle is
pretty unique in terms of the story for a top production budget show. The rest
of Amazon's lineup can be described in terms of other shows, like Bosch is a
standard cop/detective show with a gritty main character. This shows that
Amazon needs to focus on truly original content and not rehash the same old
ideas that have been done a dozen times before. All their big winners are
unique.

I can say The Grand Tour is when I started using Prime Video for anything...
their interface is pretty bad in general, imho. Multi-season watching when I
first looked into it was atrocious.

I knew the dangers of it all. Hell, they talked about orthostatic intolerance and the constant need for cardiovascular work-outs to prevent the loss of consciousness while in space, but they never discussed the supreme sense of isolation that we would be experiencing. They told us about the millions of things that could go wrong on our maiden voyage, but they of course missed the problems that did occur. It was problems such as these that left everyone except for me dead and resulted in our ship being set adrift in the cold vacuum of space.
They never told us about the chance that cryopreservation would malfunction and freeze most of our crew to death. They failed to mention the effect that space travel would have on bacteria, making it super-powered. They glossed over the possibility that the navigational system for the ship could lead us off course millions and millions of light-years. I’ve given you all an overview of what left me the lone survivor on a ghost ship, but I feel like I should go a little more in depth. My friends and family said I was always more focused on multitasking so I guess it makes sense. I am recording one final report and my last words simultaneously after all.
I’ll start at the beginning. I was brought along on this space excursion to study the environment and atmosphere of any planets we might come across. I think the higher ups must have had some ‘other homeworld’ fantasies rattling around in their heads. They named our ship the Exogenesis for crying out loud. I woke up from cryo-stasis about a week ago. I went about the procedures we had learnt in the academy groggily. I first made sure I had been woken up at the appointed time. I shakily got out of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers-style pod and stretched. It was a few minutes into calisthenics that I realized that no one else was out with me.
A cursory glance around the room revealed that all the pods were sealed shut and frosted over. My heart began to beat faster in my chest. They shouldn’t have been opaque like that. I frantically opened up the nearest pod and came face-to-face with the frozen death mask of Macready. The cryopods must have malfunctioned in some way. Freezing and then rapidly thawing had completely lysed all the cells in his body. He was dead. The machine had likely lost power for a brief moment and caused his cells to completely rupture upon such a rapid change in temperatures.
The other pods were in a similar state. Each had been subjected to a rapid decrease in temperature that resulted in complete cell lysis. The entire crew was dead except for me. How was I still alive? The cryo-preservation system was linked to each pod- It was then that I noticed. There were six: Kelvin- the psychologist, Macready— the navigator, Adams— the captain, Ripley— the warrant officer, me— the environmental scientist, and Hall. The cryo-pod for Cheryl Hall was open. Cheryl Hall had escaped the fate that befell the others.
I shambled out of the cryostasis room, still not fully in control of my faculties, and down an empty corridor. I went towards the flight deck, praying I could find some answers to the questions that were piling up. Unfortunately it was empty. I looked over the navigational log and found another question. Why were we six months off course? Whatever had prompted me to agree to this two year expedition quickly evaporated. Most of the crew was dead, we were millions, if not billions of miles away from assistance, and I had never felt so alone in my life.
I wanted to reset the course or maybe turn this ship around and return back to terra firma, but the more I studied the controls; the more confused I became. Everything on the control panel was a series of switches, levers, and blinking lights. In other words, it was literally rocket science. I was worried that pressing random buttons could completely screw us over. The only thing I managed to discern from my investigation was that the course had been manually changed. Was there someone else on this ship beside Cheryl and me? My only hope lay in finding Cheryl and working out this madness together.
I moved towards the laboratory on my way to the mess hall. Cheryl had to be either here in the lab, in the mess hall, or not in the ship at all. I shuddered to think of her being gone via the air lock. I was truly terrified that I would be the only survivor on this ship, doomed to spend the rest of my life drifting aimlessly through space. I kept one hand on the railing to prevent falling face-down on the metal grating that composed the walkways. I arrived in the small laboratory to find it in complete disarray.
Someone had taken a lab stool and swung it around the lab in a blind, all-consuming rage. The autoclave, air hood for handling chemicals, and the centrifuge had been broken to bits. The shelf that held the series of bacterial samples that we had brought along to study their growth in space had been tipped over and each culture, individually smashed under foot. Dried rust-colored droplets of blood seemed to be flicked across the room as if the perpetrator had injured themselves slightly in the rampage. What the hell had happened here?
I shuffled through the ruins of the laboratory to the mess hall itself. I was slowly regaining control of my appendages and mental faculties. The mess hall was the largest part of the ship. It was broken into three parts: one section for food storage with enough supplies for a two year voyage, another part was a dining hall, and the final was a garden with bed soil that went three feet deep to allow for renewable food stuffs. Upon entering the dining hall, I was hit with the smell of decay and decomposition.
My worst fear was realized when I saw her. What remained of Cheryl Hall was in a booth with her head resting on the table. A glass had tipped over, but the liquid had completely evaporated or been absorbed by her now bloated, festering face. Her stomach was tumescent from the built-up gases and her body had already begun to putrefy. If I had to weather a guess, I would estimate that she died a few weeks ago. The smell was completely atrocious. There was a mix of rot and shit that insinuated itself around the booth that was her tomb. There was a small hand-held camera facing her on the table.
As I looked at what remained of Cheryl, the memories flooded back to me. I remembered working with her in zero-gravity training. (I kept glancing sideways at her.) I recalled joking with her about the bureaucracy that held up the space voyage for so long. (Her smile sent warmth throughout my core.) Most of all, I remembered our last celebration before our maiden voyage. I remembered getting her alone in an adjacent hallway and pressing her up against a wall and nearly smothering her with kisses. I told her that I had wanted to do that the moment I had laid eyes on her. I remember pulling back from that passionate embrace and the look in her eyes. There was a hint of dreaminess, but also of uncertainty.
My eyes flooded with tears and deep groans wracked my body. She was gone, really gone. I could remember memories of her all I wanted, but that wouldn’t change the fact that she was lying before me now. She was lying face-down on the booth and rotting away to a skeleton. I crumpled to my knees and pressed my forehead to the grating as the sadness and despair enveloped me like a shell. I wasn’t sure how long I remained in that position before I was able to regain some modicum of composure.
I managed to rise shakily to my feet. I avoided looking at her corpse. I would lose it all over again if I did. I’m not proud of what I did next, but spending all that time in stasis with no nutrition except intravenous nutrients had left me starved. I needed something solid to eat. I left the body and moved to the pantry. I surveyed the sparse supply of food that we had left. There should have been enough food here to sustain us all throughout the ship, but a large quantity wasn’t on the shelves anymore. How long had Hall been awake and alone on the ship?
I gathered all the food that was there and did a quick inventory. There was enough food to last me a few months. Hall wasn’t a big drinker. They had sent us out with a few bottles of wine to use for cooking and a bottle of champagne to celebrate a safe arrival. The champagne was almost empty and there were five bottles of wine (from the original seven.) left. I ate some nutrient paste on crackers while thinking of my next move.
I decided I would bury Cheryl Hall. There was ground in the garden and the longer she was left out, the greater the chance of me getting sick off of the bacteria that was growing on her festering corpse. She deserved the decency of a funeral. I proceeded to the garden. The soil was only a few meters deep, but it would serve as a decent burial spot. The problem wasn’t in the location, but in the tools themselves. There were a few tools essential for gardening, but no shovel. I had to resort to using a trowel. She deserved a decent burial. She deserved the hard work, the backbreaking labor; the love.
A few hours back-breaking hours spent hunched over the land, feverishly pawing the earth with a six inch trowel, I was finished. I got out of the hole and stretched. Now was the time for the actual burial. I had to move the body from the dining hall to the grave. This was the moment I feared the most. I approached the body cautiously. When I was younger, I loved to watch those old zombie movies and I guess some instinctual part of me was wary. I didn’t think she would lunge out at me from the booth and try and sink her teeth into me, but that logical and factual portion of my psyche wasn’t able to completely disassociate myself from the idea. I’m not proud to admit it, but I spent a few minutes standing over the corpse, paralyzed to inaction by my fear.
I eventually managed to gather her up in my arms. I cradled her body to my chest. I desperately tried to keep my eyes forward and not meet her decomposed visage or smell her rotting corpse. Only once did my gaze meet her swollen, rotted face and that was all I needed to see. I gagged and tore my eyes away from her body. Her form smelled sickly saccharine and I tried to focus on anything other than retching. I carefully moved towards the open grave. I’m not the strongest of people. I managed to get her to the grave, but by the time I made it; I was panting and sweating heavily.
I tried to set her in the grave as softly as I could, but my arms had grown weak from carrying her so far. My arms gave as I lowered her and I dropped her into the grave. Her tumescent stomach ruptured and the odor hit me in a wave. It felt like something had actually punched me in the sinus that’s how bad the stench was. I couldn’t help it. I threw myself back and heaved the paste and crackers unto the earth next to me. I like to say I have a steel stomach, but there are some things in this world that can offend even my womanly sensibilities. I wiped my mouth clean and set about burying my friend.
An hour later I was finished. There wasn’t much to tell her. I cried over the disturbed earth and wept, "I think I loved you.” There wasn’t much else I could think of to say. We had worked together for the year before the initiation of our expedition and other than that kiss we shared during our celebration, I hadn’t known her outside of work. I wish I did. I had hoped that this voyage would have given us plenty of time to connect and build a relationship. I said a quick prayer and left the grave before emotions could overtake me and paralyze me again. Now my focus was on the tape she had left.
I was lightheaded from the strenuous activity, but I managed to make it to the booth and pick up the camcorder. I went into the storeroom and fixed myself some more food to re-fill my recently voided stomach. I debated whether or not to play the tape. It felt like I was invading her last moments and words, but I decided that her last recording might hold some answers or clues to what had happened. I sat down with some crackers and meat paste and turned on the last recorded message. From the time of start to the end of the recording, I didn’t touch my food.
The recording opened with her face. She was looking at the camera and she looked haggard with bags under her eyes and a vacant stare. It was almost as if I was looking into the face of a completely different person. She always had a bubbly and vivacious persona, but this Cheryl looked melancholic and dead to the world. She said, "I’m dying. It doesn’t take a doctor to see that. I can’t hold food down and I feel like I’m shitting out my soul. Dehydration is probably going to get me. If not that, then starvation. It started a while ago, but I know I only have a couple of days tops before I kick the bucket. It all started when I woke up early from cryostasis due to some horrible malfunction, months ahead of our destination.”
She continued, "I tried to reprogram my chamber and go back to sleep, but that was futile. I spent so much time lying in the pod and fiddling with the controls. No matter how hard I tried, I was unable to learn anything. I was so alone. I tried to turn the ship around, but I think I sent us off course and further from our home. I just wanted to go back.” She broke into tears which lasted a few minutes. She croaked, "Instead, I shanghaied us, impossibly far from home.”
She managed to regain her composure before continuing, "This is all so fucked up! After a few weeks of solitude I tried to wake someone up. I couldn’t stand to be alone anymore. The silence was just so oppressive. I didn’t- I didn’t know what I was doing. I thought just shutting off the machines would wake them.” She winced and clutched at her stomach for a few seconds before continuing, "I just wanted someone else to talk to. I didn’t mean for him to die. Oh God! Macready, I am so sorry.”
The realization hit me like a wave. Macready was dead because she tried to wake him up from cryostasis. Ripley and Kelvin too. She killed them. She continued, "I came across this camcorder for recording our voyage. It’s ironic that I’m using it to record my last message. Is that irony or coincidence? Shit, I don’t know anymore. Can’t think straight. My thoughts are getting fuzzy. I think I must have caught something when I smashed up the lab. I just- just lost it. The situation became too much for me to handle. I had to lash out. I think there was something in those cultures.” She grasped at her stomach and ran off screen.
Hall came back a few minutes later. She spoke slowly, "One thing they don't tell you in training, diarrhea is not fun in space. I’m feeling weak. I’ve had this for a few days now. I can barely think.” She took a long drink from a glass of water on the table before proceeding onward, "I killed them. We just kept drifting. Further and further. Each day bringing us further out of range of home. It was a kindness. Not having to wake up and be exposed to this… This fear, this hopelessness, this sickness.” She looked directly into the camera and said, "It was the only kindness I had left to give.”
Hall rested her head on the table before she continued her dazed message, "I couldn’t kill her. I couldn’t bear the thought. I stood over her body for hours, my fingers on the console. I didn’t want to think of what happened to the others happening to her. God help me, I left her alive! I want to think that there still might be hope of rescue, but the rational part of me knows that that is just the delirium talking. I’m too exhausted to move now. I just wanted to tell you. Thanks… for the kiss. So thirsty.”
Cheryl Hall reached for the glass, but it slipped out of her hand and spilled on the table and washed over her face. She laid there, breathing raggedly and sending small ripples playing across the spilled water with every strained breath. I watched for a few minutes before fast forwarding the tape. I fast forwarded until I realized that she wasn’t moving anymore. An hour elapsed on fast forward and she didn’t make the faintest of movements. The camera shut itself off after a certain period of inactivity. She was dead. Whatever Cheryl had contracted from smashing up the lab had killed her.
A few days passed by and I tried my best to figure out the ship’s navigational system. I wasn’t suited for the task. There was no point in randomly pressing buttons and I couldn’t find any manuals or guides to the controls. The Exogenesis seemed damned to spend eternity drifting through space without destination. On the fourth day, I started to feel nauseous. I told myself that it was just my imagination. I couldn’t have contracted the sickness from the destroyed laboratory. Too much time had passed for the cultures to survive. Could my contact with Cheryl Hall have infected me? On the fifth day, I was sure I was sick.
I was sprinting to the toilet every thirty minutes. I tried desperately to keep food in my stomach, but the very thought of filling my stomach left it feeling roiled. I had to have some form of salmonella. I remember when I contracted the illness as a kid. The symptoms I had then mirror the symptoms I am now experiencing: diarrhea, stomach pain, and nausea. I couldn’t replenish my fluids fast enough and I started to suffer the effects of dehydration. The average person can survive without water for three to five days. I knew my time was running out. On the sixth day, I walked to Hall’s grave in the garden and I spit on it.
Ambivalence raged inside me. This was the goddess that I had fallen over all throughout training. This was also the bitch that infected me and killed the crew. It had to be in her digestive system. When she fell into the grave and split open like a ripe watermelon, I must have been infected. I left the grave knowing that there was nothing else I could do. There was really nothing left to do. I spent my seventh day in a frenzy, trying to keep my fluid intake up and pretend everything was going to be alright. It’s not. I am dying.
This is my final message to my friends and family. I doubt this will ever reach you, but I have a lot left to say that I don’t want to go unsaid. There is nothing left here. I’m getting sicker and sicker. There is no medication for what I have. This is the only choice left. I am not going to die like Cheryl, lying face down on a table in my own filth as I succumb to dehydration. I am going to expedite the process. This is why I have a rivet gun with me. I don’t have many other options here. I think I’m going to press it to the roof of my mouth and pull the trigger, see if that’ll work. The rivets are only three or four inches long. I’m using this tape recorder so you don’t have to see what I’m about to do.
I also cracked open a bottle of merlot. I doubt it’s going to do any more damage than the sickness already has. I just need a bit of the old liquid courage to get the rivet gun into my mouth. I don't think the NASA eggheads who engineered the pneumatic hammer had thought of it as a means for suicide. It was probably to be used to repair the hull of the Exogenesis should there be any damage. The wine is alright, tastes bitter. I think I’ll have another bottle.
To my family, sorry if this sounds a little slurry. Dehydration is taking its toll and the wine sure isn’t helping. I wish I could hear all of your voices one last time. Space can be quiet. I hope you all remember the good times. Please don’t remember me like this, crying into a tape recorder, so far away, with a rivet gun in-between my legs. The second bottle tastes a little better. Can’t say I have the energy for a third. Clarke said something about space. Whether it was more terrifying to know that we were not alone or completely alone. I have my answer… I’m outta wine. |

Because i have more than one element to display at a given location in a mapview, i'd like to display a WEPopoverController in the MKMapView when a given MKPinAnnotationView has been selected.
Presenting the content, which is a tableview works fine so far. I've subclassed the MKPinAnnotationView and when the annotation view gets clicked, i call my custom presentation method.
- (void)mapView:(MKMapView *)mapView didSelectAnnotationView:(MKAnnotationView *)view {
[view openCustomPopoverInFrame:self.view.frame];
[mapView deselectAnnotation:view.annotation animated:NO];
if (_lastAnnotationView != view) {
[_lastAnnotationView closeCustomPopover];
_lastAnnotationView = view;
}
}
- (void) openCustomPopoverInFrame:(CGRect) frame {
CGRect fromFrame = self.frame; //Pin Annotation View Frame
WEPopoverContentViewController *contentViewController = [[WEPopoverContentViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];
contentViewController.delegate = self;
WEPopoverController *viewController = [[WEPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:contentViewController];
//[viewController setPassthroughViews:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:contentViewController.view, contentViewController.tableView, nil]];
viewController.delegate = self;
//set the displayed content
....
_myPopoverController = [viewController retain];
[viewController presentPopoverFromRect:fromFrame inView:self.superview permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp | UIPopoverArrowDirectionDown animated:YES];
[contentViewController release];
[viewController release];
}
Also selecting buttons in the tableview cells work find and i get the expected response (the method gets called and the popovercontroller stays on top of the view hierarchy).
My problem is, when i click on the WEPopoverController Content (one of the table view cell, in the center, where no button is located), the tap event gets passed through to the map view and therefore hides the popover controller. What can i do, to prevent passed through tap events?
I tried several solutions e.g. set the passThroughViews and also manipulating the hitTest:withEvent: method in the WETouchableView and always return nil, but that also doesn't help me any further.

EDIT
I've now debugged the hitTest:withEvent: method in the WETouchableView a little more in dept and it seems, that it always returns an instance of UITableViewCellContentView, which i think should be correct so far.
EDIT
So to be a little bit more clear, i want to display a popover controller and when it gets tapped it should neighter disappear like it is the usual annotation behavior nor the underlying view should get called. It should stay on top of the view and the tap event should get caught by the table view and call the specific method (tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexpath:).
I've looked at this solution aswell, but it seems not to work for me and the underlying view (wich is the map view) gets called.
A:
Ok, what worked for me, was to add a UIButton with a transparent background color as the first subview of the table view cell. All Tap Events on the cell now get caught by the UIButton. Btw all swipe events get caught by the table view, so at least that works fine.
To be honest, this isn't a really nice solution, but it works for me. I'd really appreciate any further suggestions!

The present invention relates to a latch structure for an automobile tailgate, and, more specifically, to latch structure of the pin-linked type.
Conventionally, the closing-and-opening handle of a tailgate is mounted on the outside of the tailgate, and the latch assembly is mounted inside. A striker typically is mounted at the bottom of the tailgate opening, opposing the latch assembly. When the outside handle is pulled, the hook of the latch assembly comes off the striker and the tailgate opens.
In conventional automobiles, the outside handle is positioned upwards with respect to the latch assembly. Therefore, when the outside handle is pulled, a connecting rod moves downward and the latch assembly opens or closes. Because the outside handle is positioned upwards from the latch assembly, the design of the tailgate is limited and its market value may be negatively affected.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pin-linked latch structure for an automobile tailgate includes an outside handle that can be positioned up or down using a reverse-U aligned rod. Preferably, the structure is mounted between tailgate outer panel and tailgate inner panel. An outside handle is mounted outside of the tailgate. A first rod is pinned to the outside handle at the bottom and pinned to a ball crank at the top. A second rod is pinned to the other end of the ball crank and extends downward therefrom.
In one preferred embodiment, a latch assembly is bolted to the tailgate inner panel, pinned to the ball crank and bolted to a backplate. A connecting lever is pinned to the opposite end of the second rod. An open lever is pinned to one end of the connecting lever, which causes a hook of the latch assembly to come off a striker in order to unlock the assembly. A locking lever is pinned to hook at the top of the open lever. Wires are preferably connected to the locking lever, which is linked to an operating button.
When the operating button is pushed, the locking lever moves to left or right to unlock the hook of the latch assembly from the striker. In a preferred embodiment, the outside handle can be mounted up or down with respect to the latch assembly. |
Q:
What does button type="button" mean in JavaScript
Whilst going through the W3 schools website I was trying to see what it meant when it said <button type="button" but I wasn't entirely sure. Could someone please explain to me what this means.
A:
A <button> tag can either be a plain <button> (when its type is "button") or a submit button (when its type is "submit", the default).
A "submit" button causes its surrounding <form> to be submitted; a plain button doesn't.
Oh, and a <button> can also be a "reset" button if you want.
So basically:
<button> is like <input type="submit">;
<button type="button"> is just a simple button that either triggers an event handler or does nothing;
<button type="reset"> is like <input type="reset">
(other than the content differences between <button> and <input> of course)
In some old versions of IE I think the default type was "button", so if you want to make sure things work it's a good idea to specify explicitly the sort of button you want in all cases.

Q:
passing value to child without saving it to state
I have an app that im working on and im stuck on one part.
I have a component that i use to fetch data from a server which then I need to pass into another component.
Since this could potentially be a big payload, i don't want to use a global variable to store the data and then pass it when render gets called nor do i want to save the data to the state, as the data has nothing to do with the App component.
Is there a way in which i can pass the value that i receive from componentDidMount() to the render function and pass it as props to the desired component?
Thanks in advance!
*edit:
// code
componentDidMount() {
// gets the data
}
redner() {
return <Node value={*Needs to be passed here*} />
}
This snippet is all in my app component. I need to pass the data from componentDidMount() to render without using state or global variables.
A:
render function is called every time component props are updated. Unless you explicitly disable it in shouldComponentUpdate. So you should get all the props changes in render function (if you are updating props correctly).
EDIT:
After updating answer I hope I understand the problem correctly.
In your case the best way is to use state to share data between async promise/callback and render method. Setting up state via this.setState method ensures that component is re-rendered.
Something like:
// code
componentDidMount() {
// gets the data
this.state = {}; init state
axios.get("/data")
.then(response => this.setState({ data: response.data }));
}
redner() {
return <Node value={this.state.data} />

The effect of infusions with two analogues of prostaglandin F2alpha on corpus luteum function.
With the exception of one volunteer given the prostaglandin during ovulation, a transient decline in progesterone during the infusion was observed with both compounds. It is likely that the marked declines that were observed cannot be attributed solely to diurnal variation. Although the menstrual cycle was shortened in some cases after the infusion, this was not well-correlated with the acute effects seen at the time of infusion. Under the experimental conditions of this study, neither analogue appeared to be luteolytic. However, infusions with both compounds did alter serum progesterone transiently. It seems likely that both compounds do exert a potent effect on the corpus luteum and may in fact be luteolytic when given at some other time in the menstrual cycle. |
The debate over energy, oilsands and pipelines in Canada is at best dysfunctional and at worst a twisted game that is making public relations professionals and consultants on all sides enormous amounts of money.
Documents obtained through Freedom of Information routinely show our own government hiding scientific reports or meeting secretly to craft PR strategies with the companies they are supposed to regulate, while millions of dollars are spent on ads trying to convince Canadians that the oilsands are as toxic as peanut butter.
On the other side we march, we rally and we point fingers creating a narrative of exclusion and moral high-ground while acting as though a low carbon transition is going to be a walk in the park.
Enough. It’s time for a new, honest conversation in Canada.
It’s time to recognize that the oilsands are, in fact, a technological marvel that took great Canadian ingenuity and acumen. It’s also time to acknowledge that when we began the exploration of the oilsands we did not know what we know today.
We didn’t understand the cumulative impacts on our disappearing caribou populations, the toxic impact on our lakes and fish, the human health impacts of air and water pollution. We didn’t know that carbon trapped in our atmosphere would create climate impacts as severe as we currently face - the droughts, the floods, the wildfires, the rising intensity and frequency of violent storms. Now we do.
In order for all of us to see this challenge as a collective challenge, to truly work together and not just move around the deck chairs on the Titanic, we need to face some simple but hard truths:
The hard truth is the oilsands are the fastest growing source of emissions in Canada and Environment Canada projects with current technology and development plans oilsands emissions will more than double over the next decade.
The path to decarbonisation does not come from expanding the fossil fuel industry. I have met many in industry who argue that if Canada doesn’t expand the oilsands, the oil will just come from somewhere else. Not only does that argument deny the impact of disruptive technologies (electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries, etc.) will have on demand for oil, it is also an incredibly low bar for moral leadership.
Might as well mine and drill more even though we now know the majority of the world’s scientists and the World Bank have warned we need to stop expanding fossil fuel production because if we don’t someone else will. Is this the best we can do in a time of global crisis? Isn’t that kind of like trying to justify selling arms to corrupt governments? “Look if we don’t sell it to them someone else will.”
The more pipelines we build, the more projects we bring online the greater the challenge we are creating for ourselves. We need to do everything we can to avoid new infrastructure that locks us in longer to a fossil fuel economy. Our leadership will inspire others and contribute to greater market certainty for renewable energy, electric cars and other innovative technologies.
Yes many of us still use gasoline to fill our cars, we fly in planes and we will continue to for many years. We need to recognize that that will not change overnight and the oilsands will not shut down tomorrow. There is a long and difficult road in front of us of retraining, of building new clean energy infrastructure, reducing oil demand through efficiency, scaling up public transportation and electrifying transport.
That will take time and we need to ensure that people are not thrown out of work and we do not destabilize capital markets. That requires serious transition planning and it’s not going to be easy or comfortable. It is in fact going to be messy and complicated.
Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
I believe Canadians are up for the challenge. That we have the ingenuity, the knowledge and the creativity to lead a new path forward. In fact, I suspect that for the majority of Canadians, debating solutions, timelines, the pace and scale of the transition out of the oilsands over time, having the real, hard honest conversations, will be a relief. |

Controllable Scission and Seamless Stitching of Metal-Organic Clusters by STM Manipulation.
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) manipulation techniques have proven to be a powerful method for advanced nanofabrication of artificial molecular architectures on surfaces. With increasing complexity of the studied systems, STM manipulations are then extended to more complicated structural motifs. Previously, the dissociation and construction of various motifs have been achieved, but only in a single direction. In this report, the controllable scission and seamless stitching of metal-organic clusters have been successfully achieved through STM manipulations. The system presented here includes two sorts of hierarchical interactions where coordination bonds hold the metal-organic elementary motifs while hydrogen bonds among elementary motifs are directly involved in bond breakage and re-formation. The key to making this reversible switching successful is the hydrogen bonding, which is comparatively facile to be broken for controllable scission, and, on the other hand, the directional characteristic of hydrogen bonding makes precise stitching feasible. |

Wherever You Go, There You Are
I used to be one of those people who couldn’t understand why her life was like a minefield. Wherever I went, chaos exploded all around me. I couldn’t figure out why I was the only person I knew who existed with so much anarchy around her. When things are that fucked up, there are two options:
• Confront the problem by facing the truth.
• Run.
I ran. I ran to a new city, but then my new life turned into my old life, only with different scenery and players so I ran to another city. There are many cities on this planet, so I wasn’t going to run out of them anytime soon. The alternative, to look inward, was too terrifying to contemplate. I had a sense that what I’d have to admit to myself was worth running away from.
(Continued below)
There was something inherently wrong with the way I was living, but I was too wound up in denial to see it clearly. There are consequences to everything, and that minefield was the result of my own behaviour.
Wherever you go, there you are.
The rule of three says that if you do something once, it’s worthy of forgiveness. If you do it twice, it’s a serious mistake. If you do it three times, though, you’re actively choosing that behaviour. Deciding, second by second, day by day, not to look at my bullshit was exactly the same as choosing to feed it to my loved ones.
I ran from them, too, of course. It was impossible to have a healthy relationship with me, and I was the only one who didn’t know that because I was too busy throwing blame at others. Every time I moved to a new man, the same chaos reappeared like magic.
Wherever you go, there you are.
I didn’t find the courage to take a realistic look at myself until an entire decade had passed. A lot of years have gone by since I stopped running. There are consequences to everything, but every so often, they take the form of moonlight and roses instead of minefields and chaos. |
Q:
Dependency in Cucumber
I am very new to Cucumber and I have a situation where I have to run a certain Scenario A present in Feature A before I can run Scenario B present in Feature B. I am wondering how can I do this in cucumber, I have used @After and @Before in a feature but how can I take care of cross feature dependencies like this. Thanks a lot.
A:
Your scenarios must be independent (like any kind of tests be it acceptance tests, unit tests etc.). Never make assumptions about the order of tests/specs.
If you need to perform common operations before and after each scenario (or each scenario tagged with tag), use Before and After hooks.
If you need to do same initialization before each scenario in the feature and you want to be explicit about this initialization in the text of your Feature, you can use Background:
Feature: some feature
Background: logged in
Given I am logged in as administrator
Scenario: some scenario where user will be logged in
Note: Before hooks run before Backgrounds

Q:
DC motor characteristics and control
I don't have a lot of experience into detailed / calculated selection of DC motors based on their specs. Now, I'm starting to do it for robotics competitions as I'm progressing to more serious ones. My questions are:
I know that when you increase the voltage, the speed(RPM) of the dc motor increases, but is it proportional(Linear) ?
Does the stall torque also increase when you increase the voltage across the motor? (not above its rated limit, but above the voltage at which the specs are given)
When you use a motor driver, will it draw the stall current from the battery when the motor is stalled? As the Li-ion I'm planning to use can't deliver so much current...
How do you select a motor driver? (other than based on the stall current it can handle)
Generally spur gear DC motors don't have encoder on them and the ones that do are very costly. So how do you attach a rotary encoder to the motor/wheels? (any ideas)
Thank you for your time and patience.
A:
I assume " DC motor" means a motor with brushes and a commutator, not a brushless dc (BLDC) motor.
Speed at a given load torque is quite linearly proportional to voltage.
Stall torque increases linearly with voltage up to the maximum safe current.
The motor controller will draw as much current from the battery as the motor attempts to draw up to the limit set for the controller. Setting that appropriately is essential.
The controller continuous current capability must be equal or greater than the continuous current at which you want the motor or battery to experience. The short-time current and time limit that is also appropriate for the motor and battery. The voltage that the controller can provide at the maximum current ratings must also be adequate for the motor. The controller may need some braking capability. The start/stop and speed inputs must be suitable for your use. The adjustments must be appropriate for the motor, battery, and desired performance.
Consider if you really need an encoder. If you need it, keep looking for a motor that you can afford or look for a motor that has an accessible shaft extension on the opposite end from the gear.
Any controller worth buying should have an adjustable current limit function that limits the maximum current that the controller allows the motor to draw and thus also limits the maximum current that will be drawn from the battery. The current limit function must be an active regulating function that limits the current without shutting off the motor completely. To provide sufficiently fast and firm control, it probably needs to be a closed-loop current regulator with an inner current loop and an outer voltage or speed control loop as shown below. The current limit adjustment overrides the current command and allows only the maximum set current to be drawn by the motor regardless of the resulting speed.
It would be possible to eliminate the speed adjustment and just manually increase and decrease the current setting based on observing the performance of the motor. That is basically how an accelerator pedal controls a car. The operator increases or decreases the pressure on the accelerator based on observing the speed of the car.

Crook Synopsis
Jai has a knack of getting into trouble. His Father was a gangster who wanted to reform. On assurance from his friend Inspector Joseph, Jai's father agreed to rat on his evil bosses. Inspector Joseph guaranteed him that he would find Jai's father and Jai a safe passage into the world of good once his bosses have been exposed. But the unexpected happened. Jai witnessed the fatal double cross on his father, despite his confession, by a senior police officer. Joseph's valiant effort to save him went in vain. This traumatic incident left a lasting impression on Jai's mind that there was no point in being good and that 'It's Good to be Bad.' Joseph adopted Jai out of guilt and tried to instill his Christian values of finding a God within but the memories from the past had already cast themselves deep in Jai's mind. Despite repeated attempts to reform him, Joseph failed to ignite the light of good within Jai's soul. And when matters went almost completely out of hand with Jai's checkered criminal life, Joseph arranged an alternate identity for him as Suraj Bhardwaj and sent him away to Australia – a land far away from his past. Jai had promised Joseph in Australia he would stay clear of any trouble. It was a golden chance to feel the grass on the other side of the fence. Almost immediately after landing, Jai met Suhani, an Indian Australian with an unadulterated honest vision of 'one world'. Although she hailed from a conservative traditional Punjabi family that took pride in being Indian, Suhani secretly fostered a much liberal outlook towards life. Her elder brother Samarth was just the opposite. Samarth was convinced that Australians had a one-point agenda to bring Indians down. Jai found his home with the bumbling punju boys GoldE and gang. They were happy go lucky 'sardar' boys who knew that the ticket to heaven was through attaining a permanent residency in Australia. GoldE almost echoed Joseph's voice when he warned Jai to stay out of trouble and concentrate on his work – he arranged for Jai to get a job as a taxi driver in Samarth's garage. Suhani was intrigued by Jai's manner. He was flirting but with a flair. He was lying but in style and he was conniving but with a pure heart. She could spot in the first instant that she met Jai that beyond his prankster lying front, Jai had a deeper side to himself that he refused to acknowledge. Jai knew that if he could make Suhani fall in love with him he could eventually attain permanent residency by marrying her but her brother was too much of an obstacle. So while Jai was busy scheming for Suhani's love he was also flirting with Nicole, the stripper from a nearby strip club. But his problems with Nicole were almost similar to Suhani's as Nicole's brother, Russel, was a rowdy skinhead from the block. Trouble followed Jai where he tried to run away from it as he witnessed the cold-blooded racial assault on Samarth. Going to the police would mean an investigation on Jai's credentials and walking away would mean losing Suhani. Jai had fled from India to find a new hassle free life and now found himself in the heart of a racially disturbed city. Jai's plight grew as the racial attacks spread across the city. The only way to deal with the issue at hand was to take the bull by its horns. He found himself at a crossroad of good and bad. But ironically the line dividing good and bad was running straight through his heart. It was a time when Jai had to figure whether it's Good to be bad or it is Good to be Good. |

The epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of each species are reported. |
Role of structural organization in the urine concentrating mechanism of an avian kidney.
The organization of tubules and blood vessels in the quail medullary cone is highly structured. This structural organization may result in preferential interactions among tubules and vessels, interactions that may enhance urine concentrating capability. In this study, we formulate a model framework for the urine concentrating mechanism of the quail kidney. The model simulates preferential interactions among renal tubules by representing two concentric cores and by specifying the fractions of tubules assigned to each of the concentric cores. The model equations are based on standard expressions for transmural transport and on solute and water conservation. Model results suggest that the preferential interactions among tubules enhance the urine concentration capacity of short medullary cones by reducing the diluting effect of the descending limbs on the region of the interstitium where the collecting ducts are located; however, the effects on longer cones are unclear. |
The tight relationship between osteoclasts and the immune system.
Osteoimmunology is an interdisciplinary field addressing the interplay between the skeletal and the immune system. A substantial body of evidence demonstrated the existence of two-way regulatory mechanisms that affect both systems, placing them in much closer association to each other than one could ever predict. Inflammatory diseases have long been known to induce alterations in bone metabolism, and inflammatory cytokines play prominent roles in the control of bone resorption, representing communication pathways bridging the two systems. Osteoclasts are particularly linked to the immune cells because they belong to the monocyte/macrophage family, have tight relationships with B and T cells, and differentiate in response to RANKL which is also produced by lymphocytes and regulates lymphopoiesis. Osteoclasts are negatively regulated by cytokines and other factors known for their anti-inflammatory and immune regulatory activity. Finally, they express immune co-receptor typical of immune cells which are indispensable for their differentiation, thus leading to the hypothesis that osteoclasts are immune cells themselves. The underlying principle why an immune cell is required to resorb bone has not yet been elucidated. Data from early literature suggest that the bone matrix could trigger an innate immune response activating giant cells that could destroy large bone areas because of their unique property of resorbing bone extracellularly. Bone resorption could though be prevented by the physical barrier made by osteoblasts and lining cells, whose retraction would be required to give access to osteoclasts when specific pathways signal their precursors to differentiate and mature osteoclasts to reach the uncovered bone surface. |
The vacation in Paris has given Tobias and Noah time to deepen their relationship and strengthen bonds, so they're pleased to come home with the new contract signed and sealed. If only life could stay that simple. Instead they must make a decision which will make or break them.
When an incident at work forces Noah to take a good long look at himself, work, and whether or not he is fulfilled in what he does, Tobias struggles with the demands of his job while they learn what it means to truly support each other in times of need.
I found this last book of the series truly astounding. In each of the preceding ones I've gotten to see both men grow not only in their own relationship but as individuals. In this one I got to see the ultimate as Noah shows he has learned his worth. The struggles, trials, friends all make this series a must have from book one to this one. While the sexual scenes are the ultimate in erotic, they are interwoven so well that they only add to the romantic concept of this book. |

Ireland’s Eye
An early Christian monastic site, now uninhabited, Ireland’s Eye lies just off the Dublin coastline. St. Nessan founded a monastery here in the sixth century and today the remains of an eight-century church can still be seen. In the early 19th century a Martello Tower was built to defend against attack from France.
It’s now best known for bird-watching, with bird-watchers flocking to the island in droves between late spring and late summer. |
Advances in micro-electronic fabrication technology have allowed the creation of Micro-Electrical Mechanical Systems (MEMS) capable of motion and applying force at the micron level. By using micro-electronic fabrication techniques, MEMS devices may be mass-produced in batches. Such micro-electronic fabrication techniques can include release etching and wet etching. Vibration and/or agitation during and/or subsequent to wet etching of MEMS devices can result in contact between component surfaces of the MEMS devices. Surface tension or capillary action of the fluid used in the etching process can cause stiction between the components of the MEMS device. Components capable of motion may be displaced from their intended path of motion so as to become inoperable. It remains a difficult challenge to fabricate a plurality of MEMS devices having components capable of motion while minimizing errant motions of the components during the fabrication process, especially during the etching process and/or other process steps where such components may be subject to vibration and/or agitation that can result in contact between component surfaces of the MEMS devices. |
Chaplain and psychiatrist as ally-rivals.
Chaplain and psychiatrist share professional concern for the improved psychological health of the distressed general hospital patient. Commonality of concern suggests regular consultative co-presence and associated interprofessional collaboration. This study of consultation within one teaching hospital finds that co-presence occurs in less than five percent of potential cases and that collaborative exchange in connection with those cases is rare, a condition supported by psychiatric staff and found regrettable by chaplains. "Case-typing," guided by outlooks of secularization (chaplain), scientism (psychiatrist), and traditionalism (ward internist), provides an accounting of collaborative underutilization, supplemented by considerations of organizational structure and positional power. |
3D reconstruction is one of the most sought-after topics in 3D computer vision, which has a wide variety of applications in mapping, robotics, virtual reality, augmented reality, architecture, game, film making, and etc. A 3D reconstruction system can take images, in RGB (red-green-blue), RGBD (red-green-blue-depth), or depth-only format as input and generate a 3D representation, e.g., 3D meshes, of the images. Among processing procedures of the 3D reconstruction system, one of the critical components is pose estimation: recovering each camera pose associated with each input image. The camera pose may include a focal length, a position, and/or a rotation direction and angle of the camera.
Most recently, with the availability of low-cost RGBD sensors, such as Kinect, Google Tango, and Intel Realsense, RGBD images can be readily captured with such available devices and be used for 3D reconstruction.
For the purpose of reconstructing high-quality 3D meshes, however, the accuracy requirement is extremely high. The camera poses should be both globally and locally consistent. Present technologies, however, are not able to provide a robust and accurate end-to-end framework solution for pose estimation of RGBD images for large-scale scenes. |

Computerized sewing apparatus was introduced more than a decade ago. Conventional systems perform sewing operations along a predetermined path using a sewing program. The main drawback of such systems lies in the fact that these systems are blind, i.e., they cannot see the work piece which is being sewn. This blindness is a severe handicap for present generation sewing systems. Leather and textiles are flexible materials which can change their size and position before and during the sewing operation. Hence, occasionally, the predetermined sewing path does not match the actual piece being sewn, and the pieces must be disqualified and rejected by quality inspectors.
A further drawback rests in the fact that, in an attempt to maintain accurate positioning of the pieces to be sewn relative to the sewing head, the sewn pieces are firmly held in a complicated workholder. This workholder aims to avoid, with limited success, the potential inaccuracy of pieces placement. Furthermore, the placement of the pieces in this workholder is complicated and, therefore, today is done manually by a trained operator. |

Q:
What are some instances of professional army funding being stolen in full?
It feels like with large empires using professional armies for distant provinces, especially during classical or medieval times, funding of those armies were most likely to be bottlenecked by small cliques or even single persons appointed or trusted by the state, who could easily embezzle those funds in full.
That would be more of a spectrum with corruption being more likely during times of peace, and warlords that used military funding for themselves existed any given time in history, especially when they were granted taxing authority (or claimed it themselves) by their parent state.
What I am looking for is instances where funding to raise armies were completely embezzled, arguably without even a portion of it seeing use for its actual goal. This would apply specifically for states with a strong tax system and a well-defined bureaucracy, which could get bottlenecked at a certain point allowing for a limited group to grab the money and run. Such an example could be a hypothetical general given some money to raise an army, who would grab it and run to the neighboring state instead.
Are there such instances, or is it hard to show or define since some of those funds would most likely go into hiring retinues to guard the recipient estate which could be raised as the army in times of war?

Sociologist Scarritt (Boise State Univ.) asks how a small minority population of European descent manages to continue to dominate a larger and antagonistic native population. This is not a particularly original question, as class divisions heavily informed by racial discrimination arguably provide one of the defining characteristics of what scholars today call Latin America. Scarritt defines neoliberalism as a colonial question, or what has also been termed the “Indian Problem,” in which those who own the means of production maintain a subordinate population in a marginalized and exploited situation. The study’s usefulness is in its ethnography of how capitalism has underdeveloped one specific community, in this case, the village of Huaytabamba in the Peruvian highlands. Specifically, Scarritt examines how intermediaries play their position as brokers between a marginalized community and the dominant culture to their own advantage. This case study appears to document a depressing failure in which the community is never able to escape these exploitative relationships. Perhaps the abusive political and economic structures are larger than what a single community can undo on its own. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, faculty. |

Acute renal failure outcomes in children and adults.
Acute renal failure (ARF) in hospitalized patients remains associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Most reports have detailed the in-hospital outcomes in ARF patients. This commentary focuses on the outcomes (including quality of life) of ARF patients, both adults and children, after discharge from the hospital. |
Febrile seizures.
Febrile seizures are the most common seizure type in childhood. The prognosis is usually benign. Diagnostic evaluation focuses on excluding other causes of seizures and fever, especially central nervous system infections. For most febrile seizures, whether simple or complex, education and counseling are the primary modes of treatment. Given our current state of knowledge, a rational plan of treatment focuses on counseling and preventing prolonged febrile convulsions. An understanding of the natural history and prognosis enables physicians to reassure the families of children with febrile seizures and provide appropriate counseling and management while avoiding unnecessary diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. |

Polyolefins with moisture barrier properties such as polypropylene and polyethylene have been used to form containers; however, thermoforming of polyolefins is very slow, and therefore expensive, and polyolefins do not provide good printing on their surfaces or heat sealing, Polystyrene, on the other hand, has no barrier properties, can be quickly thermoformed, and can be heat sealed, and polystyrene surfaces can be printed on directly. |
A note on a semiparametric approach to estimating financing constraints in firms
Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel approach to modeling financing constraints of firms. Specifically, we adopt an approach in which firm-level investment is a nonparametric function of some relevant firm characteristics, cash flow in particular. This enables us to generate firm-year specific measures of cash flow sensitivity of investment. We are therefore able to draw conclusions about financing constraints of individual firms as well as cohorts of firms without having to split our sample on an ad hoc basis. This is a significant improvement over the stylized approach that is based on comparison of point estimates of cash flow sensitivity of investment of the average firm of ad hoc sub-samples of firms. We use firm-level data from India to highlight the advantages of our approach. Our results suggest that the estimates generated by this approach are meaningful from an economic point of view and are consistent with the literature. |

Police have left the scene of an anti-internment bonfire in north Belfast, where trouble earlier flared.
Three officers were injured in total during the unrest at the New Lodge site.
Police said officers left because their presence would put the community at risk if they stayed.

You are not alone - Social sharing as a necessary addition to the Embracing factor.
I argue that the Embracing factor cannot be adequately conceptualized without taking into account the regulatory power of the social sharing of emotions. Humans tend to share their negative emotions with close others, and they benefit from it. I outline how this mechanism works in art reception by regulating and transforming negative emotions into positive experiences. |
In-out-in pinning for phalangeal fractures.
Although a commonly used technique, percutaneous pinning of phalangeal fractures is tricky because of the difficulties associated with getting the correction pin orientation when entering the medullary canal of one fragment from the outer cortex of the other fragment. This has led us to develop the "in-out-in" pinning technique. The principle consists of entering the medullary canal of one of the fragments directly from the fracture site. The pin is inserted and drilled outward through the outer cortex. The second pin is inserted in the same manner. The fragments are then aligned and the pins pushed forward in the medullary canal of the other fragment. |
Biliary coccidiosis in a ferret (Mustela putorius furo).
This report documents the first case of biliary coccidiosis in the ferret. Multiple life stages of a coccidian parasite, including meronts, gametocytes, and oocysts were present in the epithelium of hepatic bile ducts and the gallbladder. Based on morphologic characteristics, the organisms were identified as Eimeria sp., most likely E. furonis. |
