Q:
Determine tile identity of tile set displayed on Google Maps/OpenStreetMap
I'm not sure if this is best way of approaching this, so I will explain where I'm coming from first.
I want to load data onto my webpage containing a map based off a lat/long point. The only way I know how to do this is to constantly be getting the a lat/lng point in the displayed map. Obviously this isn't very efficient since I either need to keep track of this point, or constantly be polling it. Each time I had the updated this point, I'd have to do some sort of processing to determine it's map location, which would add even more inefficiency. When I had that, I could then proceed to load my data.
My idea was that if I could pull down an id of map tiles of a particular region at a set zoom level, then I wouldn't need to do the crazy/complicated lat/lng processing. But, my stumbling block is that I don't know of any way this is possible.

So you want the Quadtile?

Q:
Accessing Private variables in a child class?
So i was browsing some code and i came across:
public class Person
{
private string message;
public override string ToString()
{
return message;
}
public static Person CreateEmployee()
{
return new Employee();
}
class Employee : Person
{
public Employee()
{
this.message = "I inherit private members!";
}
}
}
Can someone please explain how the private variable "message" is being used/accessed even though its private??
A:
Private members are accessible to all code within the class, including nested classes.
If you move the Employee class outside the Person class, it will fail until you make the field protected.
A:
The simple fact is, this works because compilers allow it to - the designers thought it was a good thing. Once code is compiled, private/public variables are stored in memory in exactly the same way. (The CLR is simply aware of different metadata attributes for them.)
The justification is: nested classes and their members are still considered to lie conceptually/hierarchically within the parent class. Hence, private members of the parent class are always accessible by these semantics. Besides, it just makes life easy for programmers in many cases without breaking the object-oriented encapsulation rule!
In fact, if you want to think about this in terms of code, any code that falls within the open and close braces of a given class can access its private members, regardless of whether it immediately lies within a nested class/struct/etc.

Genomic features of human limb specific enhancers.
To elucidate important cellular and molecular interactions that regulate patterning and skeletal development, vertebrate limbs served as a model organ. A growing body of evidence from detailed studies on a subset of limb regulators like the HOXD cluster or SHH, reveals the importance of enhancers in limb related developmental and disease processes. Exploiting the recent genome-wide availability of functionally confirmed enhancer dataset, this study establishes regulatory interactions for dozens of human limb developmental genes. From these data, it appears that the long-range regulatory interactions are fairly common during limb development. This observation highlights the significance of chromosomal breaks/translocations in human limb deformities. Transcriptional factor (TF) analysis predicts that the differentiation of early nascent limb-bud into future territories entail distinct TF interaction networks. Conclusively, an important motivation for annotating the human limb specific regulatory networks is to pave way for the systematic exploration of their role in disease and evolution. |
Q:
Estoy intentando pasar de Ilist a list
Estoy intentando pasar de Ilist a list para luego mostrarlo en un DataGridView pero me sale error... me dice que no es posible convertir implicitamente
List<Empleado> lista = new List<Empleado>();
lista = servicio.Consultar();
A:
Utiliza el metodo extensor ToList() sobre el tipo IList<Empleado>:
List<Empleado> empleados = servicio.Consultar().ToList();
IList<T> implementa IEnumerable<T> por lo que tiene disponibles todos los metodos extensores de System.Linq.Enumerable, entre ellos esta el metodo List<T> ToList(this IEnumerable<T> source) que convierte un IEnumerable<T> a List<T>.
A:
Buenas,
El asunto es que IList<> es una Interfaz, en cambio List<> es una clase, IList expone unos métodos públicos que la clase List implementa.
Para solucionar tu problema, tienes tres opciones, hacer que el método devuelva una List, o que la variable donde lo recibes sea IList, o pasarle la Interfaz en el constructor
IList<Empleado> lista;
lista = servicio.Consultar();
List<Empleado> lista = new List<Empleado>(servicio.Consultar());

Infrared (IR) thermal cameras can be used in a number of different situations, for example, when inspecting or surveying complex electrical systems such as transformers, switchgears, etc., or water carrying systems such as heat exchangers, radiators, etc. IR cameras are used for capturing, displaying and storing thermal images. The thermal images may then be viewed and analyzed in order to, for example, find faulty electrical wirings or couplings, leaking water pipes, etc.
When viewing a thermal image captured by an IR camera in an IR camera display, there are a number of different view parameters that determines how the thermal image is presented to the user of the IR camera. For example, there may be a thermal image colour span, which the user may set in order to determine in between which temperature values the colour map of the presented thermal image should range. A further example is a thermal image colour level, which the user may set in order to determine around which temperature the colours should be centred.
Different settings of these view parameters in an IR camera may be used in situations, such as, for example, when trying to perform scene comparisons that have the same colour-to-temperature scaling, or in order to identify and show temperature gradients in thermal images with large temperature differences where the interesting temperature gradients is within a small portion of the entire thermal image.
These view parameters require default settings or that manual settings are inputted into the IR camera in order to present a thermal image that can be readily interpreted by the user. However, this requires that the user of the IR camera be experienced and understands exactly how to adjust the view parameters in order to get the information he needs. For an inexperienced user, the manual inputs may be difficult to understand and inefficient to use.
Furthermore, it may also be difficult for an inexperienced user to know how to adjust the settings of the view parameters in order to see other objects, particularly, if the IR camera is in a fusion mode where the temperatures that are bottomed (flattened) are replaced with a visual image, that is, the pixels having a temperature that are outside the thermal image colours span being replaced with visual image pixels. It may also be difficult to adjust the view parameter settings and interpret what you actually see when, for example, sweeping with the IR camera over an area with different temperature content looking for small temperature gradients at different temperature levels.
Automatic settings based on the entire thermal image content or a majority of the entire thermal image content is known. These automatic settings may work well in some situations, but work less well in others, such as, for example, when viewing an image view with large temperature differences or when the user is only interested in a specific portion of the thermal image. |
Q:
Why Can't I Drag IBAction from Storyboard to Swift File?
I'm attempting to connect some buttons from a preferences view in my Swift OS X application.
Instead of putting all the IBActions and IBOutlets in my AppDelegate.swift file (seems messy, though I may be wrong), I'd like to simply have the actions and outlets interacting with another file. In this scenario I want to interface much of the userDefaults storage with the preferences window I create.
But whenever I attempt to drag a preference window button or anything else to the new swift file, it doesn't give me the same ability to drop the link and define the action/outlet.
If someone has any insight to this, or could help walk me through the process that would be fantastic. I have a bit of understanding of Xcode/cocoa and from what I've searched it may something to do with View Controllers, but I don't know where to go from here.
Thanks!
Tyler
A:
With swift you could make a new file with an extension of the app delegate class and add the interface builder stuff there.
extension AppDelegate {
//IB stuff here
}

Since the advent of the wheel, man has applied that structure in an incalculable variety of manner and use. One such use was the development of the inflatable tire, which tire could be used with great success in association with the automobile, trucks, tractors and great earth-moving equipment. Such tires range in size from the smallest to those weighing over four hundred pounds. Since such tires currently exist as interchangeable commodities, and since the tires may not be expected to last indefinitely, a problem arises concerning the movement of the tires from one place to another, in their own right. At times, this problem is preceded by the concern of even getting the tire off the ground. This problem becomes particularly acute with respect to farmers and the like who may own hoisting equipment but cannot afford a large capital outlay in order to possess a device whose sole use is to lift large tractor tires. It has also been observed that when a tire from a tractor or earth moving equipment needs replacement or repair in the field, many tire repair companies lack a device which readily engages a tire and in combination with a crane readily moves it and positions it. |
The present invention relates to a device for coupling multiple connectors, of the type that comprises two connector supporting plates, particularly for pressure die-casting dies.
Devices for coupling the supporting plates of multiple connectors are already commercially available.
The plates, one fixed and one movable, are connected to threaded members, and the threaded member that is connected to the movable plate is formed by a rod which is provided with a threaded section and is supported for rotation by a movable ring integrated in the corresponding plate.
The movable ring is supported by a fixed frame by means of sliding guides that ensure the assembly thereof with a framework which forms the support for a motor which is designed to turn the rod.
The rotation rod is connected to the output shaft of the motor by means is of an intermediate shaft provided with a threaded section which cooperates with an internal thread of the frame in order to provide the longitudinal movement of the rod before the threaded section thereof cooperates with the other threaded member.
The rotation rod is connected in an angular manner to the intermediate shaft by means of a sliding joint which allows the rod to interrupt its advancement while it continues to be rotationally actuated.
Elastic elements cooperate with the guides, allowing to block the advancement of the movable ring, but not the rotation of the rod if the two threaded members do not couple as soon as they make contact.
In any case, this kind of device is not free from drawbacks.
The coupling between the threaded members in fact occurs in a rough manner, except in unusual cases, since the shoulders of the threads make contact first and collide with each other; at this point the geometry of the device allows to stop the translatory motion of the plates until the two threads mate.
Accordingly, the movements of the plates are not gradual and the geometry is particularly complicated.
The aim of the present invention is to provide a device for coupling multiple connectors which solves the problems of conventional devices.
Within the scope of this aim, a consequent object of the present invention is to provide a device which allows the coupling of connectors gradually and not discontinuously.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a device which does not have a complicated geometry.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a device which allows to perform the approach and centering movement with limited force.
This aim and these and other objects which will become better apparent hereinafter are achieved by a device for coupling multiple connectors, comprising two connector supporting plates, one fixed and one movable, two threaded members which are supported by the two plates, one of said members having a combined rotary and translatory motion for the coupling and uncoupling of said plates, characterized in that the member provided with combined rotary and translatory motion is associated with a fluidactuated actuator for the approach and spacing of said threaded members. |

Home Appraisals
When you set out to look at houses and the help of a professional, knowledgeable real estate agent, you have to know if the homes you are looking at are worth the prices the sellers are asking. This is a tedious but important part to buying a new home and it could be easy to overpay for a piece of property. A home appraisal is a review of a house that determines a house’s actual market value. Your agent understands market values and how to sell houses, so make good use of their expertise in this regard.
A formal home appraisal is a further step where a trained professional comes in and looks at a house to determine a formal valuation of the property. This cannot happen until you have applied for financing with your lender. This all follows the accepting of the offer by the seller and a purchase agreement is signed. The formal appraisal will be ordered by your lender to act as a neutral third party to assess the true value of the home. This protects their interests in case the buyer defaults on the loan in the end.
If a buyer defaults on a mortgage, the lender must take possession of the house and sell it immediately. The formal home appraisal will give them adequate information to help them do this. Their goal is to create a loan that is less than that value, so that in cases of repossession, they can sell the house to make up for the loan and the money it took for expenses of reselling. This is their biggest order to the buyer and once they are reassured of the value of the home, the commitment letter is that much closer to finalization. As always, apply to multiple lenders for a loan to maximize the best possible interest rate, which will save you thousands in the years to come over the period of the mortgage.
Acquiring the services of a home appraiser (or surveyor), whether it is by yourself or your lender (usually both) is key to providing everyone with accurate market information about the value of your potential home. Without this information, the bank has no idea what to loan you and you have no idea if you’re receiving a good deal or being ripped off. This is just one of the many legal checks and balances set in place to make the business of dealing in real estate fun and fair for every party involved.
It is a fundamental goal of IGRE to enhance and impact our local economy and culture. We mentor and train our agents consistently, volunteer and give back to those in need, and engage with our local economy every chance we get. |
Jon Kyl Has Just the Rape Analogy for This Cairo Embassy Mess
Share
Rather than simply paying his respects to the dead from last night’s attack in Libya, Republican Senator Jon Kyl somehow managed to make things worse and mention rape. In reference to the controversial statement released — before the killings in Libya — by the U.S. embassy in Cairo, the one already fumbled by Mitt Romney, Kyl explained, “It’s like the judge telling the woman who got raped, ‘You asked for it because of the way you dressed.’ OK? That’s the same thing. ‘Well America, you should be the ones to apologize, you should have known this would happen, you should have done — what I don’t know — but it’s your fault that it happened.’” Nope, that’s not the same thing at all. Not even a littlebit. |

"I'm pretty sure her name is Magma, Garth." Raven points out, glancing between the young lady and her friend. Roy's arrival to bind up Fiddler is met by Raven moving her foot from the downed villains chest. "Given her skill set.." Pointing to some of the cooled rock formations that were previously super heated rock, "And Am-Magma not making any sense.. unless you're a seven foot tall green wall of muscle."
Her indigo eyes fall on Amara, "Hello, ''Magma''…" Stressing it with a side glance at Tempest, there's no smile on her face but she very well ''may'' be teasing him. "…I'm Raven."
Now that the scene has calmed down some, she's a moment to feel the heightened fears of those gathered not far away watching the heroes… one in particular whose fear is nearly palpable. She searches for the source, eyes flickering around steadily from one face to another.
*
"It's just Magma," Amara starts to say, just as Raven makes the correction, shooting a brief, grateful smile toward the other woman. "A pleasure to meet you, Raven," she adds with a polite nod. "Garth, Flash, Arsenal." She leans forward to get a glimpse at the newest arrival, frowning slightly. "I would imagine he is not exactly local here."
*
"Magma. Got it." Roy whistles, as he eyes the young lady. Picking up the Fiddler, and securing him to something safe (like a pillar), Roy ticks his tongue. "I'll talk to the police." Perk of being an Agent of Checkmate. "But go ahead and take him to HQ!" he calls after Flash. Who, likely, has already zipped off in a hurry with the visitor. "We'll find out later, I suppose," he says in response to Amara, although he does stumble over the last two words as she leans forward. "Uh… hey, Raven, what's up?" he asks, looking away hurriedly.
*
"Really? Well, yeah, that does make more sense." Garth replies to Raven about his mixup of Magma and Am-Magma. Little does he know that Amara nearly gave her real name to a total stranger. He just figured that it was a codename. A lot of them make no sense to him. Like what does Psylocke, Starfire, or Harley Quinn mean? These humans and their codenames, he shakes his head at his own thought.
The look in his direction and the lack of a smile from Raven as she introduces herself to Magma does not go unnoticed, but it does go unremarked. "So, Arsenal, have you decided to completely give up your identity, or just tempting fate?" He knows in this company Roy probably has nothing to fear, but he did just perform some heroic feats in front of the public. Mind controlled public, but still, one of them might have had a smart phone recording it, or the Opera House itself.
With Magma referring to the Gravity Kid, Tempest shakes his head, “He's new to me, and I suspect, new to all of us. I'm sure Flash will figure that out after he's been patched up by the medics back at the…," and he was about to say United Nations, but corrects himself, “headquarters."
*
Amy would definitely look like a complete wreck. Then again more than a few regular people who were here at the wrong time probably do. But she's somehow on her feet, and begins to force herself up the side of the hall, putting a hand on the wall now and then to keep herself from leaning.
*
Raven looks to Roy when he steps up beside her and nods towards a group of people who are, perhaps understandably, handling this event poorly. "One of them has strong…" She's not sure exactly what the word for it is, still so far away and distant, like trying to pluck an idea out of someone’s hat from a mile away. She could reach out and bring it all in, but that could be dangerous… for herself and for everyone present.
Instead she floats a few feet off the ground and hovers towards the group of civilians who have collected near the back of the amphitheatre, "I can understand that everything you have just seen must be really harrowing." In her dull, perhaps even uncaring, sounding voice. As luck would have it, she's gotten far closer to Amy now. Casting indigo coloured eyes across the woman and moving on to inspect a pair of elderly woman and her husband who were, not terribly long ago, slap fighting each other like the Batman and Joker.
*
Amara arches a brow slightly when Roy's gaze dips, though she sticks to a shake of her head and an amused smile rather than pointing it out. When Raven floats over toward the group, she tilts her head, watching the confrontation. "She reminds me very much of a good friend," she murmurs to Garth, looking between the group. "You all have been fighting together for some time, haven't you?"
*
Roy's being good, really. Just moving over there with Raven. Because there's no place to look where Raven is involved, unless you wanted to spend time gazing deeply into the dark depths of her hood. And doing that the one time in years past got Roy a deep, deep stare followed by a 'Whatever you're looking for isn't in here, Harper'.
So no, Roy was being good and helping to check different people, following Raven's lead, and then going ahead. "Excuse me," he says to Amy. "You ok?"
*
With the survivors beginning to empty out of the Opera House, Tempest notes a seemingly shell-shocked woman propping herself up against the wall, trying to keep herself from leaning. He goes to her, looking her in the eye, "are you all right, miss?” Of course she's not all right after that ordeal, who would be. And Garth is no medic. Fortunately, there seem to be some coming in, and he gestures to one of them with a wave of his hand, “Guys, can you give me a hand over here?" The paramedics go to Amy, trying to see how she is, one of them will point a flashlight in her eye, check her pulse, ask her all the usual questions to see how she is and what she needs.
He looks up at Raven as she floats above, calming the people and giving them some sound advice. She can be awfully sympathetic when she wants to be. But just in case Amy is worried at the floating woman, he says, "That's Raven. This," and he’ll point to Arsenal, who checking on her, "is Arsenal. We're the good guys, girls too. And my name is Tempest." He’ll point out the other ones he knows in turn, giving their codenames so that the woman feels safe and secure before heading back towards the group, leaving her for a moment with the paramedic.
Just in time to hear Magma describe Raven as reminiscent to someone she knew. "Oh, no, not really. We used to, but we've only recently formed a team. We're called the New Warriors." He hopes she doesn't wince at the name, as he suggested it to the group after that bank robbery with the Eeensy Eight.
*
Amy looks up at the people talking to her. "I'm…" she says, looking at everyone. Her movements are slow, but she is cooperating with getting herself treated. "I'm.. I don't think I'm hurt," she says softly, slowly. Taking slow, deep breaths, she rubs her eyes again. "Thank you," she says to the people who says they were helping, and to the paramedics who decide she doesn't need to be taken anywhere. She then leans on the wall, and just watches the group of powerful people.
*
Raven settles back down near to Amy, looking for all the world like the very last person anyone would come to for emotional support. She reaches up slowly and pulls back the hood of her costume so that raven black hair can spill out across her nearly grey pale shoulders. "May I touch you?" She asks the woman, her voice something that would be digitally spit out of a computer. Her friends, standing around her helpfully assuring the masses that there is no harm to come from this group may give her some form of reassurance by proximity, but if anyone is hoping for a warm smile from Raven…
They'll need to find a comfortable seat and possibly order some dinner. "You have a lot of pain." Said to Amy, indigo eyes not necessarily glowing, but when do purple eyes have to glow? The gem in her forehead, however, does shimmer faintly. "I can take it away if you wish."
*
"The Warriors," Amara echoes, quirking a brow at Garth with a wry smile. "And who is Kronos?" Someone who casually knows their mythology? That's at least a little unusual. As the medics start to arrive, she finds a relatively whole seat to settle for a moment, eyes drooping half-closed as she quietly makes some repairs to the ground where she was drawing up magma earlier.
*
"It's all right," Roy replies, patting Amy on the shoulder as he offers the whole warmth of human kindness that was wholly missing from Raven's demeanor. "She's Raven. Just don't ask her to say 'Nevermore'. I tried that years ago, and all she did was give me crap about how she never thought I could read."
*
While Tempest gets Magma's reference to the son of Zeus and leader of the Titans, he shrugs his shoulders, "we haven't really picked one yet. Though I firmly believe that any one of us could fill that role. We're all leaders in our own way." He's been spending too much time under the sea as a High Councillor, he's starting to sound like a politician.
He smiles to Roy, who covers for Raven's… well, Raven-ness. Satisfied that Amy is all right, the paramedic who was with her moves on to the next person. A small group of public servants litter the opera house, checking on people, tending to wounds, doing their job well. But Amy, she gets the Warriors for company as each in turn seems to have focused their attention on her, and each other.
But at Raven's suggestion, he hesitates, not really wanting to influence things, but thinking it might be a bad idea. He opens his mouth as if to speak, but instead, chooses to close it, saying nothing on the matter. Pain is an integral part of life, as important, if not more, than pleasure. Without pain and pleasure, is life really worth living? A balance must be maintained. Oh, why does he think such things, plagued by thoughts on philosophy, and so rarely ever giving voice to it?
*
Amy tenses up a little. Watching Raven, she leans back a bit, her back and the back of her head against the wall, which forces her to stand up straight. She takes a deep breath, but decides Raven must be one of the good people, since nobody's doing anything about this. Taking a deep breath, she gives a little nod. "Um… okay," she says softly, not really sure what that means, but she assumes it means some sort of physical pain. Soreness from the blasts that may come later. She has recent experience with that. She relaxes slightly when others join in, which confirms her thought that no, this isn't some bad person sneaking in and causing more trouble.
*
I'm still not entirely convinced you can." Raven says with unintentional venom in her tone, more out of defensive intent than really meaning anything harsh to Roy. Her eyes, however, remain entirely on Amy. She seems so unapologetic about the wholeness of her staring or the cool manner in which she raises her hand to press her fingers lightly against the woman's forehead and jaw. Despite the cool demeanour of her expression, the touch is surprisingly gentle and when it is made the raven haired woman closes her eyes and opens her carefully constructed defensive shields to accept the rush of emotional pain that she expects to flood into her from Amy.
The sorrows of the experience is stolen away, the fear and terror of seeing the explosion no longer Amy's to feel, but taken from her and made Raven's. The pale woman's face bundles into a network of wrinkles across her brow, her black lips press tightly together as a faint glow beats softly to the rhythm of Raven's heart beneath the fingers touching Amy's face.
Whatever anguish plagues her, Raven will take it, until she no longer wishes her to. Until she is either whole or wholly afraid of what the ''hero'' is doing and jerks away from her.
*
Amara's smile quirks at Tempest's answer. "That sounds very…Roman." It's an odd sort of compliment, but her tone certainly suggests that's what it is. For all the oddity of what's going on between Raven and Amy, Amara doesn't seem concerned, once Amy consents, at least. She's spent a considerable portion of her life at Xavier's, surrounded by extremely powerful telepaths. She's no stranger to these things. Not that she's volunteering, either.
*
"Hey, I read to my daughter," Roy retorts, keeping a hand lightly on Amy's shoulder, doing his best to make it reassuring. "Do you like green eggs and ham? I do, I do, I like them, Sam-I-Am!"
Eyes shifts back to Raven as she starts absorbing the anguish, Roy quirks an eyebrow, before trying once more to peer into the depths of Raven's hood. "Hey, Raven? You okay in there?"
*
A twinge of sadness fills Tempest's thoughts as Amy agrees to have Raven take away her pain. He would never do it, but to each their own. She's an adult, fully capable of making her own decisions, and for her, that was the correct one. But it is not what Tempest would choose. Maybe it's because he's had a life of pain, from the moment of his birth, he's been an outsider, exhaled from Atlantis, left to die alone… but he didn’t. He survived and grew to be the man he is today.
With a lean of his neck to the right, he reaches up to slowly brush his hands against his forehead, running the tips of his fingers over the scars, a reminder of the pain he has endured in his still young life. And as he contemplates life, Raven absorbs Amy's pain, taking it unto herself. Garth watches with interest, but there is so much more at play than what he can see on the surface.
Though his introspection is broken by Magma's words. He doesn't understand her meaning, not being familiar with her people, but he takes it as a compliment, “thank you. Is that where you're from, Roma?" Her accent makes it difficult for him to place her. It's a human tongue, but it doesn't quite sound like any language he's ever heard. Bits and pieces yes, but hers seems unique, almost as if it were progenitor language.
So much for keeping a straight face. Garth bursts into laughter, hearing Roy rhyme, the sort of things he would teach to his little girl, Lian. "And I'm sure that she loves those books, R… Arsenal. I’m sure she does." That Lian, so adorable, he could just eat her up and tickle her until she squeals like the little girl she is.
*
Amy is kind of surprised. She expected some sort of physical pain relief, but instead… she's feeling emotionally drained. Instead of broken, she's instead getting tired, so her reaction to the surprise is a bit muted. All the stress, all of how she's been on edge, constantly afraid of someone popping up out of the blue and fighting or killing. All the jumpiness every time there's a loud noise, wondering if some stranger around her is abruptly being killed, it's just… turning into nothing. Her posture relaxes, her face falls from strain to passivity. Staring at Raven… she closes her eyes a moment, takes a breath, and then asks quietly, in a flat voice "What… what is happening?"
*
The gem set into Raven's forehead is the first indicator that whatever it is she's taken away from Amy was of far greater potency than she had originally imagined. The Chakra is at a constant shimmer as it helps the woman deal with her daily emotional state, small things like frustrations and doubts, but suddenly it is like someone turned on a lighthouse's beam and shined it straight up into the sky.
The woman's eyes snap open as it floods into her. If the rhythmic pulse of energy coming from her hand is an indication of Raven's heartbeat, it's suddenly sky rocketed and her jaw is quivering, but she doesn't let Amy go. She doesn't scold her hand away like a child touching a hot plat. "You have… a lot of pain…" Said quietly, tears rolling down her cheeks as she stares at Amy.
When she finally moves her hand away, she immediately reaches up to pull her hood back up over her hair and turns away from the woman. Not out of dismissal, but to hide behind the protective shadows.
It has been a very long time since Raven cried.
"Whoever did this to you, they are a monster." She says with every bit the lack of empathy as she spoke earlier, but there's no short of genuine regard in her flat near robotic tone. "I am very sorry you had to…" Swallowing, she shakes her head and leans against the back of one of the seats with one hand supporting her weight.
*
The words themselves convey what Raven must be feeling, even with the lack of inflection in her voice. Now it's Raven's turn to feel Roy's hand on her shoulder. "Hey, hey… was… this isn't normal, is it?" Or at least, much more than expected for being terrorized by the Fiddler. "What's going on?" Lowering his voice, Roy leans forward. "Rachel…?" he asks quietly, for her ears only. Unspoken, but implict in his tone: 'We're here.'
*
"Nova Roma, to be precise," Amara nods to Garth's question, still watching Raven and Amy. "It is in Brazil. The Amazon. Your friend needs…" Raven's reaction isn't entirely unknown to Amara either, and the young woman unfolds from her own seat to move toward her, brows furrowed in concern. When Roy moves, though, she pauses, not wanting to intrude. Which doesn't mean she isn't on stand-by.
*
Whatever Raven is up to, it seems to be working. Amy looks to be relaxed. But then Garth notices how it affects Raven. He can't help but think that her reaction was not planned. But then, with one single drop of water, any thought that she got more than she bargained for is confirmed. Even before it pours out of the duct in Raven's violet eye, he could sense it coming. It was too close to the surface. “Raven…” he says, concern in his voice.
But he trusts her, and there’s not much he could do to help. It's a little beyond his area of expertise, but he is there, with the rest of their friends. The moral support would have to be enough. And then he penny drops, and he looks to Amy. Would could it be? It sounds serious. But for now, it will remain between Raven and their new friend… did she give her name? In all the confusion, he couldn't remember if she had given it. Probably best not to ask. That’d have to be viewed as rude, right?
He's thankful to have Roy as a friend. Even before he could think of it, Roy was already there, comforting Raven, with a hand on her shoulder. He thinks about adding a 'we all are’, but thinks better of it, letting Roy's words sink in, and their looks, their presence, speak for them.
For a moment, he forgets about Magma. But he is thankful for her presence, to raise the tone to a nicer, and brighter area. "Nova Roma, Brazil?" The two concepts confuse him. He had thought they spoke Portugese in Brazil. With them all looking at Raven, it is clear that even though they don't know these two new women as well as each other, but they are definitely keepers.
*
Amy shakes her head. Staring at Raven now, she begins to realize what was going on. Walking over to Raven, she bends over a little, and looks. "If you… if you're feeling what I am… it's because of this… and because of Joker and his um, friend." Amy didn't quite catch Harley's name, when she had a gun to Amy's head for use as a hostage. Well, before leaving her on a roof with blood all over her and exploding said roof not that far from her. "It… well thank you but.. I hope you're okay."
*
Raven closes her world off within the comforting silence of the shadow of her hood. The world outside a distant memory as she surrounds her mind with a blissful calming silence, outwardly squeezing the cushion of the chair supporting her weight and only hearing Roy's assurances as if over some great distant and through a thick fog. Her posture is tense, near rigid and her entire demeanour has shrunk in on itself like a turtle collapsing into its shell for protection.
When her eyes open only moments have passed, but to her it feels as some great eternity. Indigo eyes are bloodshot and rimmed red from the river of tears, but she looks every bit as stoic when she turns her head to regard Amy. "The Joker." and his little friend. Raven doesn't keep tabs on Gotham City, but she's heard that name before…
"I will be fine." Her voice is deadened, even more so than usual, as she wrestled a river worth of anguish down into a small mental compartment. She releases a quiet, steady sigh and looks between her two friends and the two women beside her.
"What?" She snaps, since everyone is staring at her…
*
"It is complicated," Amara says with a brief, rueful smile for Garth. She looks back to Raven, but when the other woman snaps, simply raises a hand in an accepting gesture, looking back to Garth as if it were an entirely natural change of topic. "We've been apart from the rest of the world for some time. Shortly after the death of Julius Caesar, our people sailed away from Rome and founded our city in the Amazon. We've been there ever since, preserving the ideals of the Republic. It's only in the last few years that we've begun to re-establish contact with the outside world. It has been…difficult, to say the least."
Leaning over, Roy tilts his head down to try and get a better look at Raven's face. Never mind invading her personal space, in this case, she'd probably stand a better chance of grounding herself if she saw a friendly face.
Of course, once she turns her head to face Amy, Roy backs off quickly. Not until she asks, does Roy finally smile, before the smile transforms into a crooked half-grin. "Yo, short, dark, and cute. Feeling better?"
*
At the mention of the Joker, Garth winces a little. He had a run in with them shortly before he caught up with Nightwing, hoping to bring him into the fold. "Harley Quinn," he states, guessing that she is the friend Amy was talking about. "A woman in a black and red jester outfit? Then that's Harley Quinn. Unless of course the Joker's started dressing his henchpeople like that." Stranger things have happened.
It's good to see that Raven hasn’t been affected by the ordeal. When she snaps at everyone staring at her with a deadpanned ‘what’, that's exactly what he'd have expected her to say. But then, that’s why he’s a High Councillor and not a counsellor. Though similar in sound, their differences are profound in meaning.
To Magma, he smiles, "I’d love to hear it, when we're not in the middle of a crisis. Or cleaning up a crisis." Not that they’re doing much of the cleanup. The emergency personnel are doing the hard work, sorting out lives, helping people in duress. But it seems that she gives him the cliff notes. "Sounds fascinating." And though a short response, his tone seems serious, not sarcastic.
Watching over at the way Roy is attending to Raven, he wonders to himself if romance could be in the cards? Probably a one-sided crush, but there's something there. Not that he blames Roy. Raven’s very appealing… in a somewhat unconventional way. Still, she's remarkable.
*
Amy nods at Garth. "Yeah…" She expects to wince even thinking about that night again, but surprisingly.. it's just nothing. She smiles very weakly when Raven seems to be fine. "You're.. stronger than I am," she says quietly. "If you're totally fine, feeling what I was feeling, you're amazing." She then looks around to see how others are reacting to Raven, to see if there's more that she should know about, but doesn't.
*
Raven's eyes snap to Roy and if looks could kill… It softens fairly quickly though. Not much beyond a bland stare, mind, but that's got to be better than staring daggers right? "Do not call me that. Ever again." She warns, but the venom is all out of her now. Even if she'd intended for their to be any in it, she's just sort of saying it without inflection.
In the end she just looks tired. Too tired. She breaths out another sigh and looks to the civil servants arrived to take the ''heroes'' places as shepherd’s for the wounded. "I need to go." She informs everyone and takes a step back away from them, whipping around to hold one hand straight out where a pulsating purple/black hole appears which swallows her without giving anyone an opportunity to put up any reasons why she shouldn't.
It snaps closed behind her without any circumstance or sound.
*
"She is very much like my roommate," Amara observes as Raven makes her getaway, apparently unfazed by the teleportation or the quick departure. As it seems the worst of the danger is past, though, she takes a step back from the others, looking toward where she stashed her shoes. "Whom I should probably call, actually. The bus was late enough getting here before it turned into a war zone. I can only imagine how late they'll be running to go home."
*
"Whatever you say, Spookie," Roy replies, deciding to keep the tone light and keep Raven nettled at him rather than brood over the Joker. "So how about…"
And then Raven pops out, and Roy squints at where she was, before he looks back at the others. "Was it my breath? I'm pretty sure I took a Mentos before I came here."
*
If he knew what to do, he would help Amy. But he's not sure what there is that he can do? Raven’s probably already done wonders, though Garth will never understand how or why. Such things are beyond mortal Atlanteans. "Quinn's some piece of work. As crazy as the Joker, and twice as deadly." While he seemed unable to aim, she hit him with a few bullets when he last met them. Thankfully for him, his skin is bullet resistant. But it still stings like hell.
"That’s our Raven," he says after she politely informs them that she must go, and then she disappears into a portal. "One of these days, I’m going to learn how she does that.” He probably could. He's a sorceror too, though Idyllist magic is somewhat different from what she practices. For one, Idyllist magic is entirely physical. No chants, words, or speech of any kind.
"If you’d like, Magma, I could drive you home? My car was parked outside, and it looks like I won’t be giving Raven a lift. That goes for the rest of you, by the way. Plenty of room.” Not really. He drives a sports car, but there is still enough room for the four of them. Five would have been pushing it.
“I wouldn’t worry about it Arsenal. Some women like to play hard to get. It’s the aggressive ones you have to be worried about.” Not that he’s had much experience in that department.
*
Amy physically looks almost like a different person. Her face calm, her motions smoother, she watches the spot where Raven was, and just stares off into space there. "Who was that?" she asks aloud, for anyone who would listen. "She didn't tell me her name."
*
"Thank you, but it's all the way out in Westchester," Amara shakes her head to Garth, smile faint. "I wouldn't want to impose." Or admit that she's still rooming at what is ostensibly a private school, for that matter. Roy gets a shake of her head, just enough to not quite hide her amused smile.
*
"Huh?" Now Roy blinks at Garth. "What're you talking about, Tempest?" Eyes narrow, as he considers the statement, before eye rolling. "This is the -same- stuff we did when we were younger, it's not like it means anything. It's just Spookie being Spookie." And besides, one would like to keep Raven nice and even before she sprouted four more eyes. Not that he was volunteering -that- tidbit in front of the others.
"Anyway, I've got my own ride, but I'm going to talk to the police and turn the fiddler over first. Enjoy yourself." A wink at Amara, followed by a look at Amy. "Uh… you, I think, probably need to talk to a counselor. Even if Raven took care of most of it."
*
Although Garth had identified Raven to Amy, she can be forgiven for not picking up on it. She's still in shock, he introduced her to a number of people, and there was the whole ordeal of having her pain taken away. It’s a lot to handle if you’re not used to this kind of thing. “That was Raven. She's very nice. A bit… distant, but nice.”
Garth chooses not to address Roy's protestations. He thinks they’d make a good couple, if there really was something to it. He could be wrong. Maybe it’s just concern. Until recently, he hadn’t seen either of them in a while. And Roy has Lian. For all he knows, he’s back with the mother. Now what was her name? Something English, Carlisle, Chester, Coventry, something like that, Westchester? Nah, but he’ll remember it, eventually.
So, Raven made her exit. Roy’s got his own ride, and Amy’s probably going to get herself checked out by a paramedic, again, just to be safe? Looking to Amara, he says in a kind tone, “Westchester? That’s doable. I have a friend out in Salem Centre I’ve been meaning to visit. A bit earlier than I had planned, but yeah, that’s doable. Up to you?”
*
Amy nods at those telling her to get checked out again. She doesn’t think she's hurt, and she feels, well, tired, drained from all the eventfulness, but better than she has since the whole thing at the fair in Gotham. "Raven. She helped me a lot, whatever she did."
*
"Are you certain?" Amara hesitates, checking the time. "I would hate to call her so late," she admits. "I'm sure she's busy." And besides, trips through Limbo always go so…strangely. "If it isn't any trouble," she finally concedes, "I would appreciate it. I just need to pick up my things." She holds up a finger, picking her way barefoot through the damage toward where she stashed her purse and shoes. Women. Priorities.
*
Waving a farewell to the others, Roy settles in next to the Fiddler, waiting for the police.
"So…" the redhead comments. "Don't suppose you know how to play 'Jailhouse Rock', do you?"
*
"She does that kind of thing,” Garth says to Amy, explaining how she helps out perfect strangers, and then leaves before they can even really thank her. She’s a weird one, but they love her. She’s great in her own reclusive way. They just wish they could see more of her. Maybe being a Warrior will be good for her, bring her out of that shell.
"Yeah,” he answers to Amara, not finding a problem in going for a long drive with a hero, “I mean, as long as you promise not to melt my seat covers or anything like that.” She did turn into some kind of fiery lava being, and he’s pretty sure that it’s not covered by his extended warranty. Somehow, the sight of Magma looking for her purse and shoes, moving rubble, debris, and web cushions, just tickles Garth. It’s funny. Yep, women. Priorities. Nuff said.
*
Amy nods slowly to what Garth says, then she turns to leave. "Well, tell her thank you for me," she says slowly, before starting to resume her climb up toward the exit, much smoother now, relaxed.
*
Looking to Amy, Garth nods his head. He glances towards the main part of the theatre, noting that Amara's still not back with her shoes and purse. Women. They must be really nice shoes and purse. And how come her dress didn't burn up when she went all fiery? He'd have to talk to her about that. After all, he did have a couple of hours to figure it out. Maybe he'd even get her first name. Something with an Am he imagines.
But they still have to wait for her to find the purse and shoes. It could take a while, and he'd offer to help, but it's kind of hard for more than one person to search an aisle, not like he can fly or anything. He wishes he could fly. That'd be cool. How does Namor do it?
"Sure, will do Amy," he replies, though he has a sinking suspicion that she'll be able to thank Raven in person. She has the look about her. There's more to her than meets the eye.
With Roy dealing with the Fiddler, Flash already back at the headquarters with Gravity Kid, Raven probably at home googling craigslist and google, and he able to take Magma home, he thought to himself, this was a pretty good night. Sure, there was some super villainy, but in the end, everything worked out. There didn't seem to be any fatalities.
Little does he know that the owner of that multimillion dollar oboe was going to be coming after him for wanton destruction of a loaner. Oh well, that'll be for tomorrow. Tonight, the Warriors did well. There would be many more days like this. |
Q:
How do I check which of my installed modules is unsupported?
When I go to admin/modules, I get this scary warning:
The installed version of at least one of your modules or themes is no
longer supported. Upgrading or disabling is strongly recommended. See
the project homepage for more details. See the available updates page
for more information and to install your missing updates.
That sounds like something I'd like to fix! So I click the "available updates" link, but that page tells me:
All of your projects are up to date.
Hmmm. I tried checking for updates with Drush (drush up) but Drush doesn't find any updates either. How can I find which modules installed in my site are unsupported?
A:
As stated here, you need to go to admin/reports/updates rather than admin/reports/updates/update to see which module is having the problem.

Column liquid chromatography determination of vitamins A and E in powdered milk and local flour: a validation procedure.
A high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed for the simultaneous routine determination of vitamins A and E in powdered milk and flour made from local plants and purchased from open markets in the Ivory Coast. The method involves saponification followed by extraction with a mixture of organic solvents. The vitamins were resolved by reversed-phase HPLC and detection at a single wavelength. The main tests of method validation were applied to the procedure. The results show the reliability of the analytical method for the intended application. |
Q:
Defining a topology on the middle third Cantor set $C$
Is there some sort of a topology defined on the ternary Cantor set $C$ if we consider that $(a,b) \cap C$ is considered to be an open set? Is this the right approach to be taken if wanting to establish a topology on $C$? Hopefully, I will learn more about this in the Topology course I will be taking at my university this semester.
A:
That is exactly the approach taken to define the subspace topology on $C$ as a subspace of the real line with its usual topology. Start with the fact that the open intervals form a base for the usual topology on $\mathbb{R}$: a subset of $\mathbb{R}$ is open if and only if it’s a union of sets of the form $(a,b)$. Now transfer this ‘down’ to $C$: declare the sets of the form $(a,b) \cap C$ to be the basic open sets in $C$, and say that a subset of $C$ is open in the subspace topology on $C$ if and only if it’s a union of basic open sets, i.e., of sets of the form $(a,b) \cap C$.
However, you can just as well get all of the open sets in the subspace topology on $C$ at once, without using open intervals. We’ve just said that if $V \subseteq C$ is open in the subspace topology on $C$, there is some family $\mathscr{I}$ of open intervals in $\mathbb{R}$ such that $$V = \bigcup\{I \cap C:I \in \mathscr{I}\} = C \cap \bigcup\{I:I \in \mathscr{I}\} = C \cap \bigcup\mathscr{I}.$$ $\bigcup\mathscr{I}$ is a union of open intervals in $\mathbb{R}$, so it’s just some open set $W$ in $\mathbb{R}$. Thus, every subset $V$ of $C$ that is open in the subspace topology on $C$ is of the form $W \cap C$ for some open set $W$ in $\mathbb{R}$. Conversely, if you start with some open set $W$ in $\mathbb{R}$, you can write it as $W = \bigcup\mathscr{I}$ for some family $\mathscr{I}$ of open intervals, and carry out the same calculation in reverse to see that $W \cap C$ is a union of sets of the form $(a,b) \cap C$.
The sets of the form $(a,b) \cap C$ are the nicest open sets in the subspace topology on $C$, and the easiest to visualize, and they’re enough to give you all of the open sets in the subspace topology on $C$ by taking unions, but you can get all of the open sets at once by taking the sets of the form $W \cap C$ where $W$ is any open set in $\mathbb{R}$, not just an open interval.
As Davide Giraudo said in his comment, one can do essentially the same thing with any subset of any topological space, and you should indeed learn more about this in your topology course.

The capture proteasome assay: A method to measure proteasome activity in vitro.
Because of its crucial role in various cellular processes, the proteasome is the focus of intensive research for the development of proteasome inhibitors to treat cancer and autoimmune diseases. Here, we describe a new and easy assay to measure the different proteasome activities in vitro (chymotrypsin-like, caspase-like, and trypsin-like) based on proteasome capture on antibody-coated plates, namely the capture proteasome assay (CAPA). Applying the CAPA to lysates from cells expressing standard proteasome, immunoproteasome, or intermediate proteasomes β5i or β1i-β5i, we can monitor the activity of the four proteasome subtypes. The CAPA provided similar results as the standard whole-cell proteasome-Glo assay without the problem of contaminating proteases requiring inhibitors. However, the profile of trypsin-like activity differed between the two assays. This could be partly explained by the presence of MgSO4 in the proteasome-Glo buffer, which inhibits the trypsin-like activity of the proteasome. The CAPA does not need MgSO4 and, therefore, provides a more precise measurement of the trypsin-like activity. The CAPA provides a quick and accurate method to measure proteasome activity in vitro in a very specific manner and should be useful for the development of proteasome inhibitors. |
Crypto Should Try Self-Regulation, CFTC Commissioner Says
That was a common thread in the conversations Wednesday at Yahoo Finance’s cryptocurrency event in New York.
Whether that’s a good or bad thing is a matter of opinion. But even for those wary of government oversight, it’s perhaps a less unpleasant thought in light of the previous day’s hearing before the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, where the chairmen of the SEC and the CFTC expressed a generally open attitude toward crypto.
Against that backdrop, Brian Quintenz, a member of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, pointed out that the Tuesday hearing was free of the scaremongering pronunciations that some in the ecosystem perhaps expected.
“One of the other takeaways from yesterday was you didn’t hear either chairman say ‘no, absolutely not, this is not safe, we must stop this at all costs.’ No one said that,” Quintenz said at the Yahoo event during an onstage interview with CoinDesk managing editor Marc Hochstein.
Noting that any congressional action to fill in jurisdictional gaps identified by the SEC and CFTC will likely take a long time, the commissioner called on the industry to consider forming a self-regulatory organization.
Successful examples of this model include the Financial Regulatory Industry Authority and the National Futures Association, he said. Such an organization would provide necessary oversight of the spot market and exchanges “between now and however long Congress chooses to act,” he said.
Quintenz went on to add:
“We don’t want to be saying no to innovators, or to advancing technology.”
Adam White, general manager of the Coinbase-operated digital asset exchange GDAX, said that government oversight was something the company welcomed.
“I think we embrace regulation at Coinbase,” he said. “We recognize that regulations are a complementary part of the financial system in many ways.”
Ripple’s ‘revolution’
Similarly, Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, stressed his company’s longtime friendly posture toward regulators (which made it stand out from the libertarian early adopters of bitcoin), saying:
“I don’t think the US dollar’s going away in my lifetime. I don’t think the US government’s going away in my lifetime. The revolution isn’t happening outside the system. The revolution’s going to happen inside the system.”
For others, including BitPesa CEO Elizabeth Rossiello, regulation is an everyday reality, especially for businesses that serve as bridges between cryptocurrencies and government-issued money.
“In an ideal world, we wouldn’t have regulation. But in the real world, my customers ask me: ‘Do we work with companies which [comply with investor rules]?” she said.
On the investor side, speaker Alex Sunnarborg, founding partner of hedge fund Tetras Capital, described how lack of regulatory oversight could have a significant impact, for example in Simple Agreements for Future Tokens. What if those future tokens are never delivered?
“The big fear there is you enter into a SAFT which gives you a discount or allocation into a sale in the future … but the sale [doesn’t happen],” he said.

A few years ago, Wim approached a Nijmegen-based research team at the Radboud Medical Center and challenged them to scientifically investigate his purported ability to influence his autonomic nervous system – a skill commonly deemed impossible by the medical community.
The first two studies were conducted by Dutch physicians Dr. Matthijs Kox and Prof. Peter Pickkers who work on studying the human immune response, mainly in ICU patients, to help reduce the mortality of critically ill patients. They were able to publish their work in high-ranking scientific journals and continue to investigate the effects the WHM has in various patient groups.
Enjoy this week’s episode where we bring you a fascinating, rich, and highly articulate interview with Matthijs Kox, the man who has investigated the Iceman! |
Why disease persists: an evolutionary nosology.
Although natural selection might be expected to reduce the incidence and severity of disease, disease persists. Natural selection leads to increases in the mean fitness of populations and so will reduce the frequency of disease-associated alleles, but other evolutionary processes, such as mutation and gene flow, may introduce or increase the frequency of these deleterious alleles. The pleiotropic actions of genes and the epistatic interactions between them complicate the relationship between genotype and phenotype, and may result in the preservation of disease-associated alleles. Deleterious alleles may also be maintained because of linkage to beneficial alleles. The inability of natural selection to eliminate diseases of aging is a reminder that fitness -- success in producing progeny, or in contributing genes to the population gene pool -- is not equivalent to the absence of disease. Nutritional or psychosocial cues may lead to life history strategies that maximize survival to reproductive maturity at the expense of disease later in life. Natural selection acts on genes, cells, and groups, as well as on organisms; the outcome of evolution reflects selection at different levels of biological organization. Finally, the human environment is constantly changing, largely because of the evolution of our parasites and because of changes in cultural beliefs and practices; genetic evolution is comparatively slow and lags behind environmental change. An evolutionary nosology complements traditional medical nosologies and enhances our understanding of the persistence of disease and the meaning of human variation. |

VS-APPLE: A Virtual Screening Algorithm Using Promiscuous Protein-Ligand Complexes.
As the number of structurally resolved protein-ligand complexes increases, the ligand-binding pockets of many proteins have been found to accommodate multiple different compounds. Effective use of these structural data is important for developing virtual screening (VS) methods that identify bioactive compounds. Here, we introduce a VS method, VS-APPLE (Virtual Screening Algorithm using Promiscuous Protein-Ligand complExes), based on promiscuous protein-ligand binding structures. In VS-APPLE, multiple ligands bound to a pocket are combined into a query template for screening. Both the structural match between a test compound and the multiple-ligand template and the possible collisions between the test compound and the target protein are evaluated by an efficient geometric hashing method. The performance of VS-APPLE was examined on a filtered, clustered version of the Directory of Useful Decoys data set. In Area Under the Curve analyses of this data set, VS-APPLE outperformed several popular screening programs. Judging from the performance of VS-APPLE, the structural data of promiscuous protein-ligand bindings could be further analyzed and exploited for developing VS methods. |
Ab initio theory for femtosecond spin dynamics, angle-resolved fidelity analysis, and the magneto-optical Kerr effect in the Ni3(CH3OH) and Co3(+)(CH3OH) clusters.
We present a systematic analysis of the ab initio controlled femtosecond spin dynamics in Ni3(CH3OH) and Co3(+)(CH3OH) clusters achieved by a spin-orbit-coupling enabled Λ process. The distortion caused by the attachment of CH3OH to one of the active magnetic centers of the Ni3 and the Co3(+) clusters induces asymmetric geometries which result in well localized spin densities on the magnetic centers. With the use of high-level quantum chemistry methods, successful spin-flip scenarios are demonstrated for both clusters. In order to assess the experimental accessibility of those effects, we compute their tolerance with respect to two laser pulse parameters, i.e., the energy detuning as well as the deviation of the polar angle ϕ from its optimized value. Finally, we calculate the magneto-optical Kerr effect in order to connect to the susceptibility tensor χ as an experimentally measurable quantity. |
Multiresonant behavior in nearly degenerate four-wave mixing: the ac Stark effect.
We have experimentally studied the effects of pump-probe detuning in nearly degenerate four-wave mixing. The data show multiresonant behavior as a function of the pump-probe detuning at both low and high intensities. At low intensities, the structure is the result of Doppler motion. At high intensities, five-peak structure is observed and is explained by the standing-wave modulation of the ac Stark splitting of the atomic levels. |
A typical adult does not brush his or her teeth adequately, nor does the typical adult floss his or her teeth with the frequency recommended by dentists. Gingivitis is usually caused by bacterial plaque that accumulates in the spaces between the gums and the teeth and in calculus that forms on the teeth. The bacteria produce foreign chemicals and toxins that cause inflammation of the gums around the teeth. This inflammation can cause deep pockets between the teeth and gums and loss of bone around teeth otherwise known as periodontitis. Since the bone in the jaws holds the teeth into the jaws, the loss of bone may cause teeth to become loose, and eventually fall out. If the inflammation in the gums becomes especially well-developed, it can invade the gums and allow tiny amounts of bacteria and bacterial toxins to enter the bloodstream. Studies suggest this can result in a generalized increase in inflammation in the body cause possible long term heart problems. Periodontitis has also been linked to diabetes, arterosclerosis, osteoporosis and pre-term low birth weight babies. Bacteria and bacterial toxins are carried by tooth brushes, and brushing alone may cause the germs to remain in the mouth if the tooth brush is not sanitized between uses.
There is a need for a device that will hold and sanitize toothbrushes. The use of common antiseptic mouthwashes in combination with brushing, even if the brushing is otherwise inadequate, will kill harmful bacteria, and improve oral hygiene. The device should therefore encourage the use of mouthwash, and facilitate improved sanitation of toothbrushes. |
The rex genes of lambda prophage modify ultraviolet light and N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced responses to DNA damage in Escherichia coli.
Inactivation and mutagenesis of Escherichia coli by ultraviolet light and N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) were examined in isogenic strains that were (i) free of lambda phage, (ii) lysogenic for lambda or (iii) contained the lambda rexAB operon on a plasmid (prex20). Inactivation was enhanced when rex genes were present and this enhancement was greater for MNU than for UV. Mutagenesis was not greatly affected by the presence of the rex genes with one exception; UV-induced glnU degrees suppressor mutations were reduced in the strain harboring prex20. Control experiments using a strain containing only plasmid pACYC184 showed no effect on inactivation. A small depression in UV-induced mutagenesis was observed, however. These data suggest that the lambda RexAB proteins interfere with processes necessary for recovery from DNA damage and for fixation of one example of UV-induced mutation. This and other recent observations of effects by rex genes are discussed. |

Maps make a great case for SVG. There are some neat libraries and tools to play with SVG maps but, more importantly, maps make it easy to understand that an image can be semantic.
A couple of weeks before Shepazu posted this, was playing with SVG maps of contemporary Africa’s political boundaries. (Especially those used on Wikipedia; including some which separate South Sudan.) Been teaching African Studies (on occasion) for years, and maps of the continent tend to become important quite quickly.
Those SVG maps with which I started playing were pretty neat in several respects. The fact that they were vector drawings instead of bitmaps meant that they easily be resized without causing visual artifacts. More importantly, though, each country was drawn as a named outline, so it was possible to play with them as separate objects.
One thing I was trying to do is create an animation which would show where each country fits in a region of the continent, using this United Nations geoscheme. Doing so, eventually noticed that Sudan and South Sudan had been classified as part of different regions, which is an interesting tidbit which could lead to useful classroom discussions.
It’s flawed in many ways, but for someone with almost no background in this things, it’s a significant accomplishment.
(Surely, the same could be done through SVG itself. Haven’t been able to learn how to do so.)
Playing with those maps taught me quite a few things. For instance, the benefits of a well-tagged image. And some rudimentary notions of CSS-based animations. Or the limitations linked to selecting rectangular sections of an image (with a large overlap between Northern and Western Africa, for instance).
The experience also gave me all sorts of ideas. Such as annotating parts of a well-structured image. Or uses for Open Street Maps. Or ways to embed interactive content (including quizzes) in Open Textbooks. |

Monitor any condition, anywhere!
Is the tank
empty?
Is the pump
running?
Where's my
trailer?!!!
Is the PLC
operating?
Temperature too low?
Is the cell tower OK?
What's the water level??
Is the ventilator working?
It happens all the time
An equipment failure, supply run out, or unexpected condition at
a remote location results in costly, sometimes catastrophic
consequences. It happens because people who could have taken
corrective action were not aware of the situation.
There's a better way
A Messenger Remote Monitor™ can check most any condition at
a remote location and deliver actionable information that you can
use to avoid downtime, increase efficiency, or get the
'peace-of-mind' from knowing that everything is OK! |
Psychosocial predictors of intentions to comply with bariatric surgery guidelines.
An increasing body of research suggests that many patients have difficulty adopting the eating guidelines after weight-loss surgery, thereby reducing the long-term success of the procedure. Given such difficulties, it is possible that the typical preoperative education regarding post-surgical eating behavior guidelines is ineffective in motivating some individuals to comply. Presently, no accurate predictors of intentions to comply with post-bariatric surgery guidelines have been identified. In the present pilot study, a psychosocial intervention based on protection motivation theory (PMT) was presented to patients undergoing bariatric surgery. PMT is a well-established preventive health model that has been utilized in a variety of health domains. Participants for this study were recruited before undergoing bariatric surgery, and were randomly assigned to one of two groups: PMT group vs. control. In addition to routine messages from the bariatric surgeon, participants in the PMT group received an intervention based in PMT that focused on the importance of adhering to post-surgical eating behavior guidelines and how best to adhere to these guidelines. Participants in the control group received standard of care information from the bariatric surgeon. Results indicated that the PMT intervention did not have a significant impact. However, follow-up analyses revealed that two aspects of PMT, perceived self-efficacy and perceived threat of not following the guidelines, predicted patients' intentions to comply with post-surgical guidelines. Findings are discussed in terms of the methodological compromises that resulted from the applied research setting as well as promising avenues for future investigation. |
The present invention relates to automatic sprayers for spraying cosmetic, medical or coating liquid.
Conventionally, there have been known, for example, manually operated sprayers to be used in ironing, or automatic ones fitted with a prime mover to be used for spraying upon plants. In addition to the above, for the cosmetic treatment or coating purpose there have been also used sprayers of the type which are operated by pressure of liquefied gas sealingly contained together with spray liquid in a container. However, in many countries, restrictions are being imposed on the use of such sprayers in view of various troubles caused by gases used therein, and accordingly, the use of such typed sprayers may not be permitted in the future.
The above-mentioned conventional manually-operated sprayers are constructed in such a way that a nozzle body is lowered by pressing action of the thumb, so as to cause the liquid to be sprayed, and after the nozzle body has been returned to the original position from the lowermost depressed position by force of a spring, such pressing may be repeated.
Such sprayers have certainly advantages, for example, spraying may be carried out by moving the nozzle body upward and downward, thereby to permit liquid to be dispersed in a certain vertical range. However, operators will get very tired if trying to keep spraying continued, in that sprayers are manually operated and spring return action is utilized.
On the contrary, automatic sprayers may enable continuous spraying at ease. However, such automatic sprayers have also defects; that is, in conventional automatic sprayers, a nozzle body is normally fixed to a spray body in a unitary construction, and spraying is not carried out in the pressing system of the manually operated type in which air is compressed by using a plunger, thereby to requiring an operator to direct the nozzle toward an object. Furthermore, such conventional automatic sprayers may produce spray of relatively larger particles than those obtained by manually operated sprayers of the type in which air is compressed by using a plunger.
Accordingly, in spraying, for example, medical liquid with such sprayers, sterilizing effect may be reduced, thereby to necessitate manual scattering. On the other hand, in spraying coating material with such sprayers, efficient, thinnest and uniform coating may not be expected. |

Krosneyed plays Peyton, Liv’s best friend and roommate who is baffled by Liv’s recent behavior and feels like they’re drifting apart. |
Necrotising external otitis caused by Aspergillus wentii: a case report.
Necrotising external otitis (NEO) is a destructive, potentially fatal, infection usually seen in elderly diabetics or the immunocompromised. The commonest causative organism is Pseudomonas but immunocompromised patients are additionally susceptible to opportunistic infections. Here we describe the first reported case of NEO caused by a previously unknown human pathogen--Aspergillus wentii. A review of the literature reveals that fungal NEO is associated with a high rate of cranial nerve palsies suggesting that infections are not being treated rapidly enough to prevent morbidity. Fungal infection should be considered early in immunocompromised patients and microbiological diagnosis should be obtained wherever possible. |

Q:
Pulling python module up into package namespace
If I have a directory structure like this:
package/
__init__.py
functions.py #contains do()
classes.py #contains class A()
And I want to be able to call
import package as p
How do I make the contents of functions, classes, accessible as:
p.do()
p.A()
in stead of:
p.functions.do()
p.classes.A()
The subdivision in files is only there for convenience (allowing easier collaboration), but I'd prefer to have all the contents in the same namespace.
A:
You could do this in __init__.py (because that's what you import when you import package):
from package.functions import *
from package.classes import *
However, import * is nearly always a bad idea and this isn't one of the exceptions. Instead, many packages explicitly import a limited set of commonly-used names - say,
from package.functions import do
from package.classes import A
This too allows accessing do or A directly, but it's not nearly as prone to name collisions and the other problems that come from import *.

Cross-Compiling Qt for Embedded Linux Applications
Where qmake.conf file is located and how it should look for armhf debian wheezy platform? (BeagleBone Black)
I am trying to follow these steps, but some of them are unreasonable like that one about qmake.
Also what does export PATH=path/to/cross/compiler:$PATH will do?
I enter something like this in path/to/cross/compiler
export PATH=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++:$PATH
A:
export PATH=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++:$PATH
you should add directory to PATH not path to file, in your case it is /usr/bin,
but because of /usr/bin is already in your PATH you can skip this step.
Where qmake.conf file is located and how it should look for armhf debian wheezy platform?
Look at mkspecs/linux-arm-gnueabi-g++/ in qt source directory, your qmake.conf should looks like it, you can just modify this file to point to your compiler.

Açai Berry (Euterpe oleracea) Dietary Supplements: Variations in Anthocyanin and Flavonoid Concentrations, Phenolic Contents, and Antioxidant Properties.
Açai (Euterpe oleracea) is a palm plant that is native to South America and produces deep purple berry fruits. Despite açai's popularity as a dietary supplement, little is known about the phenolic composition and antioxidant properties of commercially available açai berry products. Therefore, twenty açai supplements in a variety of forms (e.g., capsule, powder, frozen pulp, and liquid) were analyzed for their total phenolic and anthocyanin contents, individual anthocyanin and other flavonoid concentrations, and antioxidant capacities. Hierarchical cluster analysis was then used to group açai supplements into categories based on similarities in their chemical profiles and antioxidant properties. Results showed that over half of the supplements contained little or no açai fruit or had sufficient amounts of water to substantially lower the concentration of açai chemical components. Additionally, two açai supplements contained unlisted ingredients that greatly altered the products' chemical properties. Chromatographic analysis of individual anthocyanins and other flavonoids was useful in identifying the presence of açai fruit within the dietary supplements while complimentary in vitro spectroscopic assays aided in detection of adulterants. This study highlights the complexity of the dietary supplement market while also showing the importance of collectively analyzing data from multiple complimentary techniques when evaluating açai berry products. |

Q:
Comparison Variables
I saw some variables like this:
var comparison = <condition> || /* It could be "&&" too */ <condition>;
I don't know what it is and what can it do?
Tks you so much!
A:
It's mainly used to initialize function arguments to a certain default value.
function foo(arg1,arg2)
{
arg1 = arg1 || 'Default for arg1';
arg2 = arg2 || 'Default for arg2';
}
What this code does, is actually the same as the following:
if (!(arg1))
{//if arg1 is falsy
arg1 = 'Default for arg1';//assign
}
As far as the && goes, that's pretty much the same story:
function foo(arg1,arg2)
{
var areBothArgsTrue = arg1 && arg2;//sets true is both args were truthy, else assigns false
arg1 = arg1 || 'Default for arg1';
arg2 = arg2 || 'Default for arg2';
}
A:
They're called logical operators (MDN):
expr1 && expr2 : Returns expr1 if it can be converted to false; otherwise, returns expr2. Thus, when used with Boolean values, && returns true if both operands are true; otherwise, returns false.
expr1 || expr2 : Returns expr1 if it can be converted to true; otherwise, returns expr2. Thus, when used with Boolean values, || returns true if either operand is true; if both are false, returns false.

Proton Tunneling in Heterodimers of Carboxylic Acids: A Rotational Study of the Benzoic Acid-Formic Acid Bimolecule.
Tunneling effects have been measured in the pulsed jet Fourier transform microwave spectra of two isotopologues of the benzoic acid-formic acid bimolecule. The tunneling splittings are originated by the concerted proton transfer of the two carboxylic hydrogens. From the values of these splittings for the OH-OH and OD-OD species, it has been possible to model/size the barrier to the concerted double proton transfer. |
The family of light-harvesting-related proteins (LHCs, ELIPs, HLIPs): was the harvesting of light their primary function?
Light-harvesting complex proteins (LHCs) and early light-induced proteins (ELIPs) are essential pigment-binding components of the thylakoid membrane and are encoded by one of the largest and most complex higher plant gene families. The functional diversification of these proteins corresponded to the transition from extrinsic (phycobilisome-based) to intrinsic (LHC-based) light-harvesting antenna systems during the evolution of chloroplasts from cyanobacteria, yet the functional basis of this diversification has been elusive. Here, we propose that the original function of LHCs and ELIPs was not to collect light and to transfer its energy content to the reaction centers but to disperse the absorbed energy of light in the form of heat or fluorescence. These energy-dispersing proteins are believed to have originated in cyanobacteria as one-helix, highly light-inducible proteins (HLIPs) that later acquired four helices through two successive gene duplication steps. We suggest that the ELIPs arose first in this succession, with a primary function in energy dispersion for protection of photosynthetic pigments from photo-oxidation. We consider the LHC I and II families as more recent and very successful evolutionary additions to this family that ultimately attained a new function, thereby replacing the ancestral extrinsic light-harvesting system. Our model accounts for the non-photochemical quenching role recently shown for higher plant psbS proteins. |
Academic and Social Benefits of a Co-enrollment Model of Inclusive Education for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children.
Deaf and hard-of-hearing (d/hh) students are traditionally educated within self-contained programs at residential or special day schools, within self-contained or resource classrooms in public schools, or within regular education classrooms with support provided by an itinerant teacher. The co-enrollment model offers a promising alternative in which these students are educated within a regular education classroom composed of both d/hh and hearing students and team-taught by a teacher of the deaf and a regular education teacher. This article examines the development of one such program and the social and academic performance of the d/hh students within the program. Data on social interaction between d/hh and hearing classmates suggest that specific instructional strategies that promoted students' sign language development, identified d/hh students as "sign language specialists" and grouped d/hh and hearing students during academic activities resulted in increased interaction between these two groups of students. Stanford Achievement Test scores in the areas of reading vocabulary, reading comprehension, mathematical problem solving and procedures indicate that although d/hh students scored below the national normative hearing group, reading comprehension levels exceeded the national normative sample of d/hh students during both years two and three of the program. We discuss the challenges of implementing a co-enrollment program. |
Regardless of whether you have a large family bathroom, a moderately sized setting or a cloakroom which you want to renovate, you'll need to include adequate storage facilities in order to keep your essential items neat and organised.
Keeping certain items on display can be an effective way to add a level of coordination to a bathroom but too much and things can begin to look crowded, which is where vanity units come in.
What exactly is a vanity unit?
A vanity unit combines either an inset or semi recessed basin and storage facility together, creating a more practical, space-saving item for your bathroom. They allow you to hide spare shampoos, soaps and accessories from view which increases the tidiness of the room and allows you to keep things organised so you can easily find what you're looking for when you need it.
What types are available to me?
Freestanding Units:
These vanity units are floor mounted, which means they sit on your bathroom floor, and are available in a wide array of styles and sizes depending on your preference. Most freestanding units will have some kind of shelving arrangement situated inside them to help with the organisation of your various bits and pieces.
Wall Mounted Units:
A highly stylish option, these units have slightly less storage space due to their compact design, but their smaller scale makes them absolutely Ideal for cloakrooms and en-suites as they store items away neatly when space is restricted.
Contemporary Units:
If smooth, sleek lines are needed in your bathroom then a modern vanity unit will be a perfect choice; their crisp styling is designed to complement trendy environments as well as compact options for smaller settings. There are many different colours and finishes available and many units feature recessed handles for a flush appearance.
Traditional Units:
For a timeless look, period influenced vanity units are a great way to add an extra touch of authenticity to your bathroom. As with their modern counterparts, there is a wide range of options out there to choose from, including gorgeously-refined wooden finishes and ornate, classically inspired examples.
Smart Bathroom Storage
Vanity units are an effective way to store your bathroom essentials while keeping any visible clutter to an absolute minimum. They are usually supplied rigid so there should be no need for any tricky assembly either.
They are a great choice if you are planning to feature other storage components in the room such as tall units or cupboards as many of these items are designed to complement each other, giving the room a more tailored finish as a result. |

Q:
Creating a Template Like System in cPanel
I am creating a medium sized website using cPanel and their File Manager system and the majority of my pages are going to be the same with a different title and content section and I wanted to see if there is a system for making one general template file and then having all the other pages inherit from that file so all I have to do is have a content and title section and the rest of the links, headers, and whatnot can be changed throughout the site by just changing one file.
Is there anything like this? I have used Jinaj2 in python and a few other systems for other server scripting languages but I am not sure how to implement it with cPanel.
A:
cPanel isn't a hosting environment or server-side scripting language. It's a control panel for general website management (email, ftp, etc). It can't do things like templates or include files. You'll need to use Server Side Includes, PHP includes, etc. like you've used in the past to accomplish this. If you're going to use cPanel for file management then you'll just need to code it correctly and upload the file with the right extension for this work (just like you would if you used FTP, SFTP, etc).

This is for my baby girl who is lesbian and who I love dearly!!!
We are one country with such a diversity of people. Love is love no matter who or what their sexuality , creed, religion , colour or race . Gay couples are recognized for the purposes of centrelink payments and taxes. Why should only heterosexual couples be allowed to commit to another by marriage. We no longer live in the dark ages , this debate had been going on for so long now . Being allowed to have a registered relationship is like a kick in the &$@ . I believe everyone in Australia is affected by this , by either having or knowing someone's son, daughter,cousin,uncle,aunty, mother,father or friend who are gay. Why are we treating these wonderful human beings as second class. I'm personally affected by this my daughter is a lesbian and her mother I would love to see my get married just like every other parent out there. My daughter doesn't want any special treatment like a lot of gay people out their they just want to have the same rights to get married as heterosexual couples do. You know when you hire an employee you can not discriminate against race, religion, colour, creed, tradition or sexuality , so why the heck are gay people being discriminated against having the same rights as everyone else, you get a job based on qualification and merit. Not because of your sexuality. Were any of the politicians in parliament asked to answer that question on their job applications. Gillard is quoted as saying " Australia is far more advanced then any other country" I think not!!!!!! I think it's time we get to have a public referendum on this topic- let Australia have their say, let us taxpayers make the decision . By signing this petition we are telling the polititions leading this country that we want equal rights for all Australians.... And to stop using the Christianity excuse to hide behind because there is nothing holy or Christian like about many members of parliament through there behaviours. I would also love to get all gay groups and organizations in every state of Australia to stage a day of peaceful protest/rally all on the same day and the same time and spread the word that it is open to everyone and anyone gay, hetero, bi, trans,leso etc etc. Let the masses speak, standing together makes us strong. So I urge you sign so that we can be heard loud and clear"LEGALISE GAY MARRIAGE, give everyone the same rights!!!! |
Gq signaling is required for allergen-induced pulmonary eosinophilia.
The complexity and magnitude of interactions leading to the selective infiltration of eosinophils in response to inhaled allergens are formidable obstacles to a larger understanding of the pulmonary pathology associated with allergic asthma. This study uses knockout mice to demonstrate a novel function for the heterotrimeric G protein, G(q), in the regulation of pulmonary eosinophil recruitment. In the absence of G(q) signaling, eosinophils failed to accumulate in the lungs following allergen challenge. These studies demonstrate that the inhibition of eosinophil accumulation in the airways is attributed to the failure of hemopoietically derived cells to elaborate GM-CSF in the airways. The data suggest that activation of a G(q)-coupled receptor(s) on resident leukocytes in the lung elicits expression of GM-CSF, which, in turn, is required for allergen-induced pulmonary eosinophilia, identifying a novel pathway of eosinophil-associated effector functions leading to pulmonary pathology in diseases such as asthma. |

No significant difference in HDL cholesterol was found between smokers with PVD and corresponding controls. The ratio of HDL cholesterol to the sum of (VLDL + LDL) cholesterol was reduced in patients with PVD. Patients with PVD had significantly highly serum triglyceride levels. A slightly significant difference could be demonstrated for serum cholesterol and serum phospholipids concentrations in smoking patients with PVD. |

Keeping baby safe, comfortable and entertained takes the right gear. cribs, changing tables and rocking chairs are essential pieces of furniture for the nursery, but baby also needs other gear to use during playtime, feeding time and those times when you head out of the house together. Shop Walmart for Every Day Low Prices on your baby gear essentials to simplify your life and to keep your baby secure, cozy and happy.
Essential Baby Gear for the Home
Of course you want to enjoy picking out your baby's sleeping space and baby-friendly furnishings. There are also a few other important pieces needed to care for and entertain a baby. From feeding time to play time, add these essential pieces to your home.
Bouncers and Swings
Newborn babies are used to the soothing motion and comfort of the womb. Bouncers and swings help simulate this environment to encourage baby to relax. Some models have music, toys, mirrors and other entertainment so that baby can play and learn while awake.
Playmats
Tummy time is important for babies that are not yet mobile. It helps them get exercise and strengthen muscles. Playmats and baby gyms have cushioned surfaces that spread out on the floor for baby to lay on. Toys hang over the mat so that baby can kick, reach and grab in order to get some exercise and practice hand-eye coordination. Some playmats also play music when baby kicks or rolls onto certain areas of the mat. Bright colored mats keep baby engaged throughout the entire play session.
Playards
If your baby is already on the move, then a playard allows for playing freely without wandering off. Baby stays entertained with toys, and parents can keep an eye their curious tot. Playards are also a comfortable place for baby to take a nap. Because they fold down easily, they are also a go-to option to use when traveling with baby. Some models include a bassinet and portable changing station to increase functionality.
High Chairs
Feeding time can get a bit messy, especially with curious and playful babies. High chairs help baby sit upright while eating, and they have smart safety features to keep little ones in place. High chairs with washable or waterproof padding are easy to clean after baby is finished with a meal. Booster seats help baby sit up high enough at the table and take up a lot less space than a freestanding high chair. Some also come with detachable trays for easy cleaning.
Essential Gear for Taking Baby Out and About
Getting out of the house with a baby takes some strategic pre-planning, but the right pieces of gear can help make it run like clockwork. Whether traveling by car or by foot, these pieces of essential gear ensure your baby stays safe and comfortable.
Car Seats
A properly sized car seat is necessary for bringing baby home from the hospital. infant car seats and carriers with a base make it easy to lock into the back seat and remove when you arrive at the destination. Once baby gets bigger, install a forward facing car seat to give the child more legroom. Convertible car seats grow with the baby. They install rear facing or forward facing and have higher weight limits. Boosters are suitable for children who use the car's seat belts but need to sit higher so that the belt positions correctly.
Strollers
Your choice of stroller can make it easier when taking baby on the go. Umbrella strollers are lightweight and compact to easily stow in the car. Larger strollers handle all types of terrain and can come with helpful features such as cup holders and storage baskets. Jogging strollers are ideal for those who are physically active and want their baby to join them on their outdoor workouts.
Baby Carriers
Babies love to be held and carried. Additionally, maneuvering bulky car seats and strollers through small spaces is not always an option. Baby carriers keep baby close while keeping your hands free. Wraps can be worn in a variety of ways to maximize comfort for the baby and the person wearing the baby. Other carriers have adjustable straps and clips to secure baby in place while being easy to take off.

Rotary dial telephones encode dialed digits by repetitively breaking the line current in a subscriber's loop, the number of breaks corresponding to the dialed digit. Dial pulse receivers and repeaters have from the early days of telephony utilized electromagnetic sensing of the dial pulses, by which a solenoid in a relay causes switch contacts to repetitively close, or in a stepping switch, contacts are caused to step along a row or column of switches.
While the repetitive line current breaking function theoretically provides square wave current pulses carried by the telephone line, in practice the form of the dial pulse current is usually far from perfect. Variations from the ideal square wave are usually caused by lines inductance, line leakage, leading and trailing edge ringing, cross talk, gliches, etc. While electromagnetic dial pulse receivers have been found to be somewhat tolerant of most of the imperfections in the waveform, more modern sensitive solid state dial pulse receivers have not had similar tolerance. Special circuitry has been incorporated into some solid state receivers for debouncing leading edge ringing waveforms, etc.
However it has been difficult to reliably detect dial pulses when there are gross distortions of the dial pulse current waveform. The present invention is directed to a reliable solid state circuit for dial pulse detection when the current pulses are grossly distorted. |

Q:
How do I get the Video Id from the URL? (DailyMotion)
Example:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4xvnz_the-funny-crash-compilation_fun
How do I get x4xvnz?
A:
You can use basename [docs] to get the last part of the URL and then strtok [docs] to get the ID (all characters up to the first _):
$id = strtok(basename($url), '_');
A:
/video\/([^_]+)/
should do the trick. This grabs in the first capture all text after video/ up till the first _.

Music of Badakhshan
Badakhshan is a region of Tajikistan and Afghanistan with a unique musical heritage, especially that of the remote Pamiri Ismailis. Badakhshan's unique folk scene is said to be characteristed by the use of many chromatized tones (especially in falak) in a narrow melodic range, and the use of a characteristic minor-like scale .
Instrumentation
Lutes are an extremely important part of Badakhshani music, especially the three-stringed shortneck lute played with a wooden plectrum; this is called the Pamiri rubab. Other varieties of lute in Badakhshan include the komus, a three-stringed but unfretted lute played by the Kyrgyz of eastern Badakhshan, the tanbur, a seven-stringed lute with sympathetic strings, the setar, with three melody strings and a number of sympathetic strings; the imported Afghan rubab and Azerbaijani tar are also a major part of Badakhshan's lute heritage .
Other instruments include the ney, a kind of flute, and the Ghaychak, a spiked fiddle; the circular frame drum daf is also common, as is the accordion, brought by Russians.
Vocal music
Badakhshani music has a characteristic throaty, nasal sound which is a distinguishing characteristic of the area's vocal style. The madah is a kind of sung religious poetry, accompanied by rubabs and/or tanbyr with at least one daf .

For the moment, Sir Giles was staggered. "Have you heard something that you haven't told me yet?" he asked.
"No, sir. I am only bearing in mind something which--with all respect--I think you have forgotten. The last tenant on that bit of land in Kerry refused to pay his rent. Mr. Arthur has taken what they call an evicted farm. It's my firm belief," said the head clerk, rising and speaking earnestly, "that the person who has addressed those letters to you knows Mr. Arthur, and knows he is in danger--and is trying to save your nephew (by means of your influence), at the risk of his own life."
Sir Giles shook his head. "I call that a far-fetched interpretation, Dennis. If what you say is true, why didn't the writer of those anonymous letters address himself to Arthur, instead of to me?"
"I gave it as my opinion just now, sir, that the writer of the letter knew Mr. Arthur." |

Targeting embryonic stem cells.
Gene targeting of mouse embryonic stem cells facilitates the deliberate engineering of the mouse genome. The gene targeting vector is introduced into cells by electroporation, and cell clones carrying the targeting vector are obtained by drug selection. Clones can be screened effectively for correct recombination events by either Southern blot analysis with external and internal probes, or by long-range PCR. Positive clones are subsequently expanded and prepared for the generation of chimeric mice. |

Gone Missing? Here's the Fix~~
It seems the internet gremlins have been up to no-good and many of my lovely Plumrose Lane images have gone missing, humph!! If you find they're missing from your blog and you installed the images yourself then use the steps below to easily fix them. If I installed the theme for you, then click my signature at the bottom of this message to send me an email and we'll get things back up for you~ ♥
To fix the missing images you will be replacing a single word in some code on your blog. Here's a quick key of where to find the different codes for each image type.
Background
Click on the "Layout" section of your blog then locate the "Html/Java Script" gadget for your background.
Post Divider
Click on the "Template" section of your blog, then click on "Customize". Click on "Advanced", then scroll down to "Add CSS". The code should appear under the "Add custom CSS" area.
Blog Signature
Click on the "Settings" page of your blog. Click "Posts and comments", code will be found in the "Post Template" area, 2nd choice from the top.
Button, Badge, or Tag
Click on the "Layout" section of your blog then locate the "Html/Java Script" gadget for missing button, badge, or tag.
The Fix
Once you find the code to fix the missing image you will simply need to replace the word: "prl-images" with "plumroselane". This word may appear several times within one snippet of code so I recommend using the "Find" feature in your browser to make sure you replaced them all.

Job configuration for semiconductor manufacturing is the technique in which silicon chips are assigned to sites on wafers, wafers are assigned to jobs, and jobs are released into the manufacturing line, so as to meet the demand for chips. The process is complicated by yield uncertainties of the line and the configuration constraints imposed by the technology of the line. Yield losses can occur at a job level, where every chip within a job is bad, at a wafer level, where every chip on a wafer is bad, or at the site level, where one or more individual chips are bad.
In the static job configuration problem, the configuration is determined in an open loop fashion from data on the demanded numbers of chips and the yield uncertainties. A decision is made on the configuration, and the configuration is released into the line; neither cycle time nor the status of the jobs within the line are considered.
There are several measures of performance for meeting the demand. The semiconductor supplier may be measured on its "volume serviceability," the percent of the volume of the demand that is met. In a more stringent measure of performance called "mix serviceability," the supplier is measured in terms of the volume of demand supplied, but is not credited for shipping parts in excess of their demand. "Set serviceability" is another measure of performance. A customer may order a specified number of sets of components, for example, the set of chips needed for a printed circuit board or module. In set serviceability, the supplier is measured in terms of the demand for complete sets that is supplied. Set serviceability is more difficult to meet than mix or volume serviceability.
In meeting set serviceability requirements for the static job configuration problem, it is desirable that the configurations achieve the serviceability with the fewest number of wafers. Minimizing the number of wafers reduces the costs for the raw materials and reduces the number of wafers flowing through the line.
The technologies used to expose wafers (optical, e-beam and retical) and test equipment limitations may impose constraints on the possible job configurations. Some semiconductor manufacturing lines process single part jobs, where every chip within a job is identical. The job configuration required for such a line is referred to as a single part job or SPJ configuration scenario. Other manufacturing lines have more flexibility and allow for multiple part jobs having single part wafers, where every chip within a wafer is identical, but wafers within a job may be different. The job configuration required for such a line is referred to as a single part wafer or SPW configuration scenario. Some manufacturing lines process multiple part jobs having multiple part wafers, where a wafer (and therefore a job) may be made up of a plurality of different chips. The job configuration required for such a line is referred to as a multiple part wafer or MPW configuration scenario.
The logistics systems controlling the flow of jobs through the line may impose additional constraints on the allowable job configurations. For example, these systems may require that a job configuration having multiple part jobs with single part wafers be composed of several copies of the same standard job. In the multiple part jobs with multiple part wafers case, the systems may require that every multiple part wafer be identical, that is, there be a standard wafer, and every job within the configuration contains the standard wafer.
A conventional approach to semiconductor job configuration is known as ground start ratio. According to ground start ratio, the number of chip starts is the ratio of the demand for the chip type to the overall yield of the chip type. This ratio is computed independently for each chip in the set.
Because the job configuration data for each of the chip types is computed without reference to demand data, yield data or configuration data of any other chip type, the computation required for the ground start ratio is straightforward and does not require an excessive amount of time to compute. However, the survival rates of the chip types which make up a set are not independent of one another in determining the survival rate of the entire set. Consequently, the ground start ratio approach is ill-suited to suppliers measured by set serviceability.
Furthermore, because the ground start ratio is computed independently for each chip type, it cannot be used to take advantage of the substantial potential serviceability increases gained by using single part wafer and multiple part wafer configurations.
Therefore, what is needed is an apparatus and method for manufacturing sets of chips that achieves the desired serviceability using a reasonable number of wafers. |
Wave energy buoys convert the energy of waves on a surface of a body of water, for example, from ocean surface waves, or waves formed in lakes, rivers, tidal estuaries, or other bodies of water, into electricity, which can be used to satisfy commercial and residential energy needs. Accordingly, wave energy buoys can, inter alia, reduce dependence on conventional fossil fuels. Conventional wave energy buoys use the rising and falling of the ocean waves to cause the buoy to move up and down, producing a resultant mechanical stroking within the buoy which is used to drive an electrical generator. Another conventional method of converting kinetic ocean wave energy into electricity is through the use of permanent magnets oscillating in relation to a conductive coil. As the magnets and coil oscillate relative to each other due to wave motion, electric current is created in the conductive coils. These conventional methods of converting kinetic ocean wave energy into electricity are generally inefficient since they only capture a small percentage of wave energy. This limitation is due in part to the device not being able to adjust to varying wave swells to maximize the generation of electricity. Thus, a conventional wave energy buoy cannot distinguish a wave having a greater height, wavelength, and/or speed, from a wave having a smaller height, wavelength, or speed. A conventional wave energy buoy with a fixed-strength magnet is prevented from maximizing the potential energy generated from waves with varying heights and force because where the magnet is too strong, the oscillation of the buoy is impeded reducing the amount of electric current generated in the coils. Further, where the fixed-strength magnet is too weak, the buoy will freely oscillate in relation to the coils, but the electric current generated in the coils will be less than the amount that could have been produced with a stronger magnetic field. Therefore, a conventional wave energy buoy using fixed-strength magnets of a constant strength magnetic field will not be able to optimize the potential electricity generated from each wave.
Wave energy buoys can be organized into a wave farm, such as a coastal buoy farm. However, it is difficult to manage and control a plurality of buoys organized into a wave farm so that electricity can be efficiently generated on a large scale. The inefficiencies described herein with regard to individual conventional buoys are magnified when a plurality of buoys are networked together in a buoy farm. |

Christine Lagarde, managing director and chairwoman of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), has encouraged the exploration of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the light of decreasing demand for cash and rising preference for digital money.
In a prepared speech for the Singapore Fintech Festival on Wednesday, Lagarde said:
“I believe we should consider the possibility to issue digital currency. There may be a role for the state to supply money to the digital economy.”
Various central banks around the world are “seriously” considering the issuance of digital currency, she said, including Canada, China, Sweden and Uruguay. “They are embracing change and new thinking—as indeed is the IMF.”
Lagarde noted that major cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, ethereum and XRP, are also “vying for a spot in the cashless world, constantly reinventing themselves in the hope of offering more stable value, and quicker, cheaper settlement.”

Q:
Hide source script PowerShell GUI
We can convert a PowerShell script to an executable exe file using the PS2EXE-GUI. We have an exe file now. All is well. The resulting exe file is a .Net assembly containing the Base64 encoded source script. This means that the code is not hidden. It can be easily restored back with the key -Extract:
Script.exe -Extract: 'Script.ps1'
Does this mean that I cannot create a shell where the source code will be completely hidden? Of course we are not talking about assembler. Are there any ways to hide the PowerShell source code in GUI exe file? Thanks
A:
In the end, this would than be a reversible encryption because the script engine requires to interpret it.
And a reversible encryption (based on a symmetric key algoritm) is weak, see also: Is it possible to securely store passwords using reversible encryption?
Quote:
The primary weakness of reversible encryption is simple: if the key is compromised, the encrypted data is compromised, period.
Which means that it is essentially the same as hiding it behind a Base64 encryption.
As soon as the encryption gets popular, it will be hacked, and you will find online decrypters on the web as what happened with the VBScript .vbe encryption.
In other words, if there is anything specific in your script you need to hide (like a password), you should look into other directions, e.g.: run the script under different credentials, prompt for a password, or simply give the user (limited) rights to the concerned application (which you effectively do by supplying the script).

[Hospital-acquired anemia: Facts, consequences and prevention].
Hospital-acquired anemia is common, especially in the most critically ill patients. It may be associated with poor patient outcomes. It may result from increased blood loss, impaired red cell production or reduced red cell life span. Multiple associated factors may contribute simultaneously or sequentially to the decrease in hemoglobin level. Some of them are related to the underlying disease and others are iatrogenic. Clinicians should be aware of the importance and consequences of iatrogenic anemia caused by diagnostic blood sampling. Strategies and measures to minimize iatrogenic blood loss should be prioritized. They may reduce the risk of developing anemia and then red blood cells transfusion requirement. |
Use of electrical vehicles is becoming increasingly popular due to the environmental benefits of removing pollution caused by fossil fuel burning vehicle engines from the environment, especially in densely populated urban environments. As with most mobile electrical devices, electrical vehicles carry electrical energy storage devices or batteries, which supply power to the vehicle propulsion and other systems. As can be appreciated, the vehicle batteries require recharging after usage.
At present, electric vehicle recharging is accomplished by connecting a recharging connector into a vehicle receptacle manually. The vehicle receptacle is usually located in the same or similar location as a vehicle fuel fill spout. Such locations are protected by doors or lids, much in the same way vehicle fill spouts are protected from environmental elements, dirt and road debris. However, with the advent of automated electric vehicle recharging systems, the vehicle charge receptacles may be located elsewhere in the vehicle, including areas that are commonly inaccessible to users such as beneath the vehicle. |

Q:
TornadoFX: Label text not updating
One of the issues I'm currently experiencing is that I can't seem to change the text of a Label which is implemented in a dynamically loaded AnchorPane. I assume this might be related to the controller and how JavaFX/TornadoFX works, but I can't seem to find what I'm doing wrong.
The issue itself occurs in this class, and happens in the showSystemDetails() method. What I would expect to happen is that upon pressing the "System Details" button in the sidebar, the labels would update to the required value, but this isn't happening for some reason.
Please feel free to point me to what I'm doing wrong, or provide any constructive criticism. The project is still in full development so a lot of things are still messy/broken.
A:
The reason this isn't working is that you're manually loading a new version of the FMXL file every time you select something in your menu. The FXML file originally loaded by SystemDetailsViewProxy is updated correctly, but that's not the one you're showing on screen anymore.
To see the updated View, make sure you put the root node of the SystemDetailsViewProxy instance back.
You could for example change your DrawerMenuButton enum to contain references to SystemDetailsViewProxy::class instead of those two strings, and use add(viewClass) to add the correct root node to your view when clicking the menu buttons.
Furthermore, you should be using ViewModels and binding instead of manually updating the text property of the labels. You're doing an awful lot of manual/error prone work that the framework can help you with for free.
Your application is not using best practices in several important areas, and you're rolling your own solutions for stuff that the framework already does very well :)
Views are singletons when managed by the framework, but you instantiate them yourself instead of using inject/find. The result is that important life cycle methods are not being called.
I would also suggest looking into type safe builders instead of FXML.
Hope this helps :)

DayZ stand-alone alpha shooting for December DayZ creator Dean Hall has said that the stand-alone alpha will hit this year, likely in December, and that it will be inexpensive. He also made some comments about the competition with fellow zombie-survival title The War Z.
The stand-alone version of DayZ might just barely squeeze into its goal of releasing this year. Creator Dean Hall recently said the alpha will probably hit in December, and on top of that, claimed it will be "cheap."
"It has to be out before the end of the year," he said at the Eurogamer Expo. "Not just because we've committed to it but in order to achieve what we have to do. It has to be. There's no 'we hope it is'; it has to be. And it's going to be cheap. We've decided that we don't need to sell a heap of units in order for us to be OK with where it's going. The more units we sell of it the more ambitious we get, because the project has the better resources."
He said that releasing in December would allow the team to move onto "more ambitious features" in January and February. Hall made some remarks about The War Z, which is set to release this fall. "Maybe they will make a better game - I don't know. Maybe what they're doing is not cool to me, but the way I look at it is what are my options? What could I do? I could stand up here and be very critical of anyone who does a clone copy of the game. What would that actually achieve other than making me look like a dick? It's not going to result in a better game.
"I guess what I'm saying is what I feel isn't important. Maybe that's what leadership is: saying my feelings aren't important here - my feelings are often selfish. I have to be realistic about it and say the responsibility is on me to make a good game. And that's just life." |

Q:
Firebase Auth + FCM
My usecase it to send a push-notification to a user using the Firebase Auth UID to all the devices he is signed-in. Since firebase Auth is managing the user sessions,
Is there a way to directly send a FCM notification just using the uid of the user? Or
Is there a way to fetch the registration ids of all signed-in devices for a given uid?
This looks like standard requirement, for example to update the 'Order Status' to a user. If available this could be pretty powerful, and could greatly simplify direct messaging requirements (e-commerce, chat etc) where the user gets notified on web/android/ios.
If this is not possible, any suggestions on the standard way to acquire/manage the registrations_ids of a given user is appreciated.
Thanks all,
A:
This is not supported out of the box but you can build the mechanism.
You need to maintain a uid specific deviceGroup and all the registration ID per device that belongs to it.
Each time a user signs in with Firebase, you get the device registration ID and the user's ID token and send it to your backend. You verify the ID token and get the uid from it, you then add that registration ID to that user's device group.
Each time a user signs out, you remove their registration ID from the signed out user's device group.
When you want to send a push notification to a specified user, you can send it to the user's device group ID.
This is the simplified version but there are a bunch of edge cases you have to deal with to keep the device group for a user in sync so no notification is sent to a signed out user.

Renal tubular hypertrophy induced by angiotensin II.
Cellular processes leading to renal tubular hypertrophy may contribute to the development of progressive renal disease. Angiotensin II (ANG II) is a prime agent that has been linked to the progression of renal disease by a host of mechanisms, including the induction of tubular epithelial hypertrophy and stimulation of extracellular matrix biosynthesis. All components of a functional renin-angiotensin system reside within the renal tubule. Epithelial cells exhibit distinct patterns of growth behavior after stimulation with ANG II (namely, hypertrophy of proximal tubule segments and proliferation of more distal segments). The hypertrophic action of ANG II is mediated through high-affinity AT1-receptors, involves activation of pertussis-toxin sensitive G1 proteins, and depends on a decrease in intracellular cAMP. In addition, ANG II induces sequential activation of MAP kinases and S6 kinase, and leads to activation of early immediate genes and the modulation of a series of cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases. There is also compelling evidence that the ANG II-induced epithelial hypertrophy and the stimulated-synthesis of collagen type IV are mediated by increased transcription and production of TGF-beta. ANG II-mediated inhibition of protein degradation may further increase protein content. The hypertrophic response to ANG II is greater in medium with high glucose concentration. Blockade of the action of ANG II prevents the renal hypertrophy and the tubulointerstitial fibrosis in animal models of chronic renal diseases (independent of changes in systemic or glomerular hemodynamics), in part through interception of ANG II-mediated induction of TGF-beta expression. |
Newcastle Knights are interested in taking St Helens and England hooker James Roby to the NRL.
The Knights, coached by former Saints chief Nathan Brown, are keen on boosting their squad after finishing with the wooden spoon last year.
And TotalRL.com understands that Roby is high on their list of targets after another impressive season in Super League and on the international scene.
Roby’s thoughts on a move to Australia are not yet known, but one St Helens source revealed Newcastle have yet to approach them about any of their players. |

Q:
Force typescript to see difference between (AType = string) !== (BType = string)
My project has two user's id - my internal id(database uuid) and external service's id (google id).
User entity has these ids.
User {
id: string;
googleId: string;
}
But new collaborators don't know what id should be used and where this id should be used.
Let's assume i have method
getUser(id: string): Promise<User>
This method should receive user.id as argument.
TS allow me to call this method with user.id or with user.googleId.
What i want to is to say that i want to receive just user.id and nothing else. Because this method returns nothing if i pass user.googleId and this correct behaviour and wrong usage of method(new collaborators doesn't know that it should be user.id and this is not user.googleId).
What i want to have(i tried it but this didn't work)
userId = string;
googleId = string;
const getUser(id: userId) => this.userRepository.findOne(id)
getUser(user.id) // correct usage, ts error is absent
getUser(user.googleId) // wrong usage, ts error is present and tells that userId and googleId types are incompatible
Thanks in advance!

Naked Viruses That Aren't Always Naked: Quasi-Enveloped Agents of Acute Hepatitis.
Historically, viruses were considered to be either enveloped or nonenveloped. However, recent work on hepatitis A virus and hepatitis E virus challenges this long-held tenet. Whereas these human pathogens are shed in feces as naked nonenveloped virions, recent studies indicate that both circulate in the blood completely masked in membranes during acute infection. These membrane-wrapped virions are as infectious as their naked counterparts, although they do not express a virally encoded protein on their surface, thus distinguishing them from conventional enveloped viruses. The absence of a viral fusion protein implies that these quasi-enveloped virions have unique mechanisms for entry into cells. Like true enveloped viruses, however, these phylogenetically distinct viruses usurp components of the host ESCRT system to hijack host cell membranes and noncytolytically exit infected cells. The membrane protects these viruses from neutralizing antibodies, facilitating dissemination within the host, whereas nonenveloped virions shed in feces are stable in the environment, allowing for epidemic transmission. |
