Current atomizing device in electronic cigarettes generally includes an atomizer having a heating wire disposed therein, an atomizing cup having tobacco flavored liquid therein, an atomizing seat used for fixing the atomizing cup, and an atomizing sleeve sleeved at an outer of the atomizing cup.
Two ends of the heating wire in the electronic cigarette need to be electrically connected to positive and negative electrodes of a battery to supply power source. The heating wire of the electronic cigarette is generally welded to the electrodes of the battery to electrically connect with the battery. Perhaps, an end of the atomizing seat disposes a separate electrode assembly, and two ends of the heating wire are respectively welded to corresponding electrodes of the electrode assembly, thus the electrode assembly electrically connects with the positive and negative electrodes of the battery. Connection by welding is time cost and strenuous, and is also low stability. Further, connection by welding results in bad phenomenon such as rosin joint, tack weld, and produces residue harmful to people.
Owing to the atomizing cup disposing tobacco flavored liquid, the sealing of the atomizing cup need to be guaranteed when making the atomizing cup sleeved in the atomizing sleeve utilizing the atomizing seat. When fixing the atomizing cup utilizing the atomizing seat, absorbent cotton is firstly packaged in the atomizing seat. The outer edge of traditional atomizing seat generally defines groove for latching the absorbent cotton to fix the absorbent cotton. The atomizing seat must be firstly manufactured to form flange by supplier, and then turned outside in after packaging the absorbent cotton, which is complicated. When sealing the atomizing cup, a typical way is to dispose a sealing washer between the atomizing sleeve and the atomizing seat, or to dispense glue at the juncture of the atomizing sleeve and the atomizing seat to form sealing glue layer to achieve the sealing of the atomizing cup. Disposing a separate sealing washer may enhance manufacturing cost, and is difficult to assembly, which is time cost and strenuous. Dispensing glue is unsafe to operate, and is unfriendly environment. |

Q:
How to get the String of a XML node in C#
enter code herein the XML document :
<foo>
<bar><para> test </para> </bar>
<bar>text</bar>
<bar>stackoverflow</bar>
</foo>
I am trying to parse it and only get the Strings in bar; by using this way:
[function where node is the foo]
foreach (XmlNode subNode in node.ChildNodes)
{
if (subNode.Name == "bar")
{
if (!String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(subNode.InnerText))
Debug.WriteLine(subNode.Name + " - " subNode.InnerText);
}
}
However it gives me test
Thanks
A:
This is what you are looking for (EDITTED based on you updated question)
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(path to your xml file);
XNamespace ns = "http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";
var result = doc.Root.Descendants(ns + "para")
.Where(x => x.FirstNode.NodeType == System.Xml.XmlNodeType.Text)
.Select(x => x.Value)
.ToList();
In your updated xml I see you are using a namespace so the name of your node is not para but it's theNameSpace + "para". The namespace is defined in the first line of your xml file. Also you can see this sample too.

At first glance, Arin Andrews and Katie Hill of Oklahoma are your average young couple. However, the two met under what some might consider unusual circumstances, and have found themselves in the limelight as a result. Katie and Arin are both trans, and met each other at a support group in Tulsa. Furthermore, the two have, as the British tabloid The Sun called it, "swapped genders", and met each other while both undergoing the transition process.
Two years ago, Arin and Katie were known as Emerald and Luke, respectively. One excelled at ballet and competed in beauty contests, while the other was the son of a Marine Colonel. Both struggled throughout their childhoods with their identities. 'The teachers separated the girls and boys into separate lines for a game… I didn't understand why they asked me to stand with the girls," Arin told the Daily Mail. "Girly things didn't interest me, but I was worried what people would think if I said I wanted to be a boy, so I kept it secret." Meanwhile, Katie confided that "Even from age three, I knew deep down I wanted to be a girl. All I wanted was to play with dolls. I hated my boy body and never felt right in it." The two unfortunately had to endure bullying throughout their childhoods, which was one of the many reasons why they bonded so quickly during their first days together.
“Being transgender myself, I understand Arin better than anybody else — how good he feels and how complete he feels," Katie told The Sun. She also quipped to Daily Mail: "We're both size five, so we even swap our old clothes our [mothers] bought us but we hated."
Now that the two have successfully completed their transitions, they can resume their lives with each other in bodies they feel more comfortable in.
"Now when I’m out in a public pool or lifting weights, no one raises an eyebrow. They just think I’m a guy. … I can wear a tank top, which I couldn’t before, and I can go swimming shirtless. I can just be a regular guy. And I’m so lucky to have my family and Katie to rely on."
Katie added…
"We look so convincing as a boy and a girl, nobody even notices now. We secretly feel so good about it because it's the way we've always wanted to be seen."
HuffPost Gay Voices editor Noah Michelson, when discussing this story on the site, noted that…
"It brings to light the idea that sexuality and gender are not the same thing. So both of these individuals are heterosexual…They're not gay just because they're transgender, and that's something that blows people's minds still."
Although, if you ask Katie, she offers a much simpler analysis…
"To me, Arin’s just my Arin. He’s always looked manly to me. But now he’s had the surgery he’s much more confident and comfortable with himself."

Minor gynaecology of the climacteric.
The climacteric is a transitional phase of one to five years during which the genital organs involute in response to the cessation of gonadal activity. During the climacteric women suffer a range of gynaecological disorders. The patient's worries discussed in this article are particularly pertinent to general practice. |
Leotards for girlsGymnastics is a sport where a lot of movement is demanded. That's the reason gymnastics leotards are used. They permit the gymnast to move in an unrestricted manner. They fit just like a glove to the body and they move with each movement the gymnast makes. As for where it gets its origins, a French acrobat, Jules Leotard felt that acrobats desired a garment that allowed them to move. He called it a maillot, but the name was soon altered to match that of its maker.leotards for gymnasticsThe details

Q:
Antlr4: The following sets of rules are mutually left-recursive
I am trying to describle simple grammar with AND and OR, but fail with the following error
The following sets of rules are mutually left-recursive
The grammar is following:
expr:
NAME |
and |
or;
and:
expr AND expr;
or:
expr OR expr;
NAME : 'A' .. 'B' + ;
OR: 'OR' | '|';
AND: 'AND' | '&';
Simultaneously, the following grammar
expr:
NAME |
expr AND expr |
expr OR expr;
NAME : 'A' .. 'B' + ;
OR: 'OR' | '|';
AND: 'AND' | '&';
does compile.
Why?
A:
As already mentioned: ANTLR4 only supports direct left recursion. You can label the alternatives to make a distiction in your generated visitor or listener:
expr
: NAME #NameExpr
| expr AND expr #AndExpr
| expr OR expr #OrExpr
;
NAME : 'A' .. 'B' + ;
OR : 'OR' | '|';
AND : 'AND' | '&';
Note that 'A'..'Z'+ is the old v3 syntax, in v4 you can do this: [A-Z]+

Walking up the narrow doorway, hands shaking not in fear But out of compassion, that I hadn’t felt in years.We had drank and had our laughs,The smile you wore, hell I knew that we have had fun,You told me to hold me, oh so close.Your breath on my neck and my hands in yours,Wishing Id tell you how beautiful, How beautiful you really fucking are.To me.Yeah Me.To Me.Yeah Me.You were such a beauty to me.Carrying you towards a restless night in my arms wishing I had the words to say,That I think I want you to stay…with me.But empty promises, and broken bottles,Put me on my knees,My heart felt so heavy, not yet to be broken,Please dear, don’t do this again.I wish I had the words to say,I wish I had the chance to turn back time,I wish I’d never held you close,But I still wish I’d make you mine.Yes, mine.Seeing you smiling at me.As ruby red tongues gnaw out lies, and deceitIm stuck here kissing your feet,Mistakes were forgiven regrets were now made, the distance felt further than Mars.Phone call wars, are worse on the floor, of a night spent drunk here without you.Without you.Oh without you.Please dear lets start this again.I have my control, and I still love your soul,Im sorry we can’t speak again.Wiping your tears, after beer after beer,We’ll never have those days again, Goodbye. |
Reducing Cumulative Arm Overuse Injuries in Young Throwers.
As year-round participation in youth sports continues to increase, health care practitioners treating child and adolescent athletes will commonly see injuries that are secondary to overuse. Starting with a clinical vignette, this article describes proximal humeral physeal injuries in youth throwers, examines causative factors, reviews common therapeutic modalities, and focuses on preventive measures aimed at reducing such cumulative arm overuse injuries. |
This invention relates to a facsimile machine constructed to allow interconnection with a communications apparatus like a personal computer via an interface.
A facsimile modulator/demodulator (hereinafter referred to as FAX modem) is commercially available in recent years that can transmit data on a personal computer, external to the facsimile machine, to a remote facsimile machine via a telephone line. Used for connecting the personal computer to the telephone line, the FAX modem adds a capability of facsimile transmission and reception to conventional personal computer communications (hereinafter referred to as PC communications).
Since conventional facsimile machines are constructed to print out received image data on a real-time basis, it has not been possible to choose whether to print out the received data. Provision of a memory for storing outgoing and incoming data gives a facsimile machine a potential of expanding its functions.
As an example, the facsimile machine may be provided with an RS-232C interface and software that can handle AT commands. By connecting a personal computer to the facsimile machine via the RS-232C interface, a PC communications capability is added to the facsimile machine so that it can be utilized as a FAX modem or a printer for the personal computer.
The PC communications capability added to the facsimile machine as discussed above is independent of original functions of the facsimile machine. It is therefore necessary to provide a mode select switch on an operating panel of the facsimile machine, for example, for switching it between facsimile mode for performing the ordinary facsimile functions and communications mode for executing PC communications.
It is assumed that the print function in communications mode would normally be used just temporarily after switching the facsimile machine from facsimile mode to communications mode. Therefore, an operator should confirm that the facsimile machine is not currently used for facsimile transmission or reception and operate the mode select switch for switching from facsimile mode to communications mode when using the facsimile machine for a printing job. Upon completion of the printing job, the operator should again operate the mode select switch for returning the facsimile machine from communications mode back to facsimile mode.
It is to be noted that the personal computer and facsimile machine are placed separately from each other in most cases. This means that the operator needs to operate the mode select switch of the facsimile machine which is separated from the personal computer before and after the printing job. The need for such awkward switching operations could make it difficult to effectively use the printing function of the facsimile machine.
If the operator neglects to return the facsimile machine back to facsimile mode after the printing job, the facsimile machine is left in communications mode and it cannot receive messages transmit from other facsimile machines.
On the other hand, if the facsimile machine is so constructed that it is automatically reset to facsimile mode at the end of each data processing job in communications mode, frequent mode switching would be made even when the operator intends to perform successive jobs in communications mode. Therefore, automatic mode switching could prevent fast and smooth communication processes.
Another problem of the prior art is that the facsimile machine set to communications mode becomes inoperable as a peripheral device of the communications apparatus when the communications apparatus is not properly connected to the facsimile machine or the communications apparatus is powered off. |

Q:
How to force Ubuntu to detect external display?
My laptop recognises external display devices if I connect them before booting the system, but many times it doesn't if I connect while the system is running. In this case, rebooting naturally solves the problem.
Is there a way to force Ubuntu to detect external displays? Opening up the display menu and pressing "Detect displays" does nothing.
A:
Actually, you don't need to log out. Simply going to a VC with ctrl-alt-F1, restarting x with sudo service sddm restart and
and going back to your graphical interface with ctrl-alt-F7 (or F2) should do it.
This way, you don't lose all your windows...

Warner Bros. Entertainment CEO Kevin Tsujihara participated in a lunchtime keynote interview at the USC Gould School of Law on Saturday and talked briefly about their DC Comics properties.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tsujihara said that the lack of superhero movies at Warner Bros. other than the Superman and Batman franchises had been a “missed opportunity.” He added, however, that the studio has “huge plans for a number of other DC properties on TV.”
He specifically addressed Wonder Woman: “We need to get Wonder Woman on the big screen or TV.”
Will we get the Wonder Woman TV series “Amazon” on The CW? Is Wonder Woman part of Zack Snyder’s Superman/Batman movie, as was rumored last month? Or would she get her own movie? We’ll have to wait and see what’s in store for Diana.
In the meantime, you can check out a fan film of what Wonder Woman could look like on the big screen. |

Q:
Operator overloading for a set in c++
So I've created a new class called Tuples where Tuples takes in a vector of strings known as tupleVector. I then create a set of Tuples, meaning I need to overload the operators necessary to order elements and disallow duplicates.
Two questions:
which operator overload is necessary? Do I overload < or ==?
Assuming I must perform this overload within my Tuples class (so I can use the set of Tuples in other classes), is the following code correct?
include "Tuples.h"
Tuples::Tuples(vector<string> tuple){
tupleVector = tuple;
}
vector<string> Tuples::getStrings()
{
return tupleVector;
}
bool Tuples::operator<(Tuples& other){
return this->tupleVector<other.tupleVector;
}
bool Tuples::operator==(const Tuples& other)const{
return this->tupleVector==other.tupleVector;
}
Tuples::~Tuples() {
// TODO Auto-generated destructor stub
}
A:
You only need to provide operator<. The container checks whether two items are equivalent by comparing them reflexively: they are equivalent if !(a<b) && !(b<a)

Elmo, Cookie Monster visit Vt. Children's Hospital
'Sesame Street' characters make rounds at Fletcher Allen
Turn a corner in the halls for Vermont Children's Hospital at Fletcher Allen Tuesday, and you were likely to encounter two big, furry characters from "Sesame Street."
Elmo and Cookie Monster made their rounds, helping kids like William Leach forget they were at the hospital.
"And then these guys showed up, and he's real happy, something to tell his friends, making sure I got a picture of it. So, really enjoys it. You know they came in, gave him a high-five and a hug and all that, and brightened his day up. Makes it easier to deal with everything that's been going on and waiting for the tests and stuff," said William's father Jason Leach.
This isn't the first time the furry friends have visited Fletcher Allen. "Sesame Street Live" swings by the Children's Hospital when it's in town to perform at the Flynn.
Specialists at Vermont Children's Hospital look forward to the visits every year. They say "Sesame Street" is right up their alley.
"They're really amazing with the kids, which is nice. To see that bright smile on a child's face when they're feeling kind of yucky or kind of bummed out for being in the hospital, that type of exposure is just wonderful," said Child Life Specialist Jennifer Dawson.
Patient Daniel Wicks had no idea who was coming to visit.
"I was surprised," he said.
Daniel is recovering from surgery on his appendix.
"It wasn't a very nice day, but it's more fun," he said after the visit.
Staff and parents say visits like the one from "Sesame Street Live" is part of what makes Vermont Children's Hospital special. They say it helps kids forget where they are for a little while and lets them just be kids instead of patients.
"Stuff like this is awesome. It really makes their day better," said Leach. |

Q:
How to get user's full name only from gmail in java/javascript
I'm trying to make a website and I need to have a code in my server side (JAVA) or even in front (Javascript) so that when user enters someone's gmail, it automatically gets first and last name associated with that gmail and puts it in database. How is that possible to get full name from only gmail (if it exists) ?
A:
No, that is not possible without authorization. You either have to authenticate yourself or let the user perform the authentication at client side and use Google's user API with the token.
Imagine Google giving your personal details to anyone just because he/she knows your email id, why'd they ever do that?

[Theoretico-methodico-methodological problems in current research in psychotherapy].
The authors discuss theoretical and methodological problems of present-day psychotherapy research and try to arrive at a critical balance. They derive the task to find new forms of organisation of psychotherapy research in the GDR. In particular, they draw the attention to problems of the diversity of methods in psychotherapy and the study of group differences. They suggest to pay more attention than has been until now to questions of social capacity of learning in psychotherapy. Furthermore, aspects of the measurement of changes in individual cases in psychotherapy are dealt with. |

The disclosed subject matter relates to batteries. More particularly, the disclosed subject matter relates to thermal batteries, methods of activating thermal batteries, and methods of providing safety control signals.
A battery is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. The battery is classified into two categories: a primary battery that is a non-rechargeable battery and a secondary battery that is a rechargeable battery. The batteries are used in various applications, such as automobiles, electrical devices, military applications, aerospace applications, etc. to provide electrical voltage. Each application has specific requirements and based on the requirements, an explicit type of battery is used. For example, for military purposes, batteries having longer battery life are needed, for electric automobiles, rechargeable batteries are required, etc. A key example of the primary battery is a thermal battery. Some applications require the need of having the primary battery for their operations, which irreversibly transform chemical energy to electrical energy. In addition, when reactants of the thermal battery are exhausted, energy is not re-stored in the thermal battery. The thermal battery provides various advantages, such as longer shelf life such as longer than few years, require less time for activation, etc. Once activated, the thermal battery supplies electrical power from a few seconds to an hour or longer. The characteristics of the thermal battery permit the use of the thermal battery in various applications. |
The New Catfish Spinoff Will Focus on Unmasking Trolls
This September, MTV will air a new spin-off of Catfish that focuses on online trolls, appropriately titled Catfish: Trolls. While the original series focused on people who pursued online relationships using fake identities, the new series will “[unmask] the internet’s most vocal trolls to drag them out of hiding and into the light.” Charlamagne Tha God and Raymond Braun will host.
Back in April, MTV posted its first casting calls for the series. In Catfish style, they seem pretty focused on the drama. “Are you a highly opinionated, polarizing character?” asks one of the calls. “Have you been drawn into online debates over topics like Veganism, Feminism, LGBTQ Rights, Body Shaming, Politics, Race, Religion and other hot button social issues? Do you have a long time running feud with someone you want to finally meet in person?”
The second call asks “Do you have an online rival? Do you find yourself arguing with them all the time? Does this person drive you up the wall? Do you comment on almost all of each other’s posts? Think it’s time to finally meet in person?”
Based on the above casting calls, it looks like this series won’t focus on exposing members of various internet mobs, who anonymously attack and spam content creators they disagree with. Instead, it seems like it will focus more on trolls with established “personalities” and longstanding feuds or followings.
On the one hand, I think it’s important for us to try and understand what sort of people troll, and why they’re motivated to do so. I also don’t really believe you have some sort of inalienable right to spew garbage on the internet without consequences, so I’m not necessarily against unearthing the identities of trolls – but under the right circumstances.
And that’s where this new series gets a little murky for me. MTV has a long track record of hyping the drama and sensationalism of its reality-show topics, from True Life to the original Catfish to Teen Mom. The idea of naming a troll just because it will generate ratings for a massive corporation, or because it would be the most dramatic outcome, is troubling. I’m not sure that’s a power I’m comfortable assigning to MTV.
The idea of portraying trolling as some sort of two-way rivalry is also concerning. Trolls already have a sense that women and minorities who speak out about bigotry on the internet are “asking for it” by voicing their opinion. Trolls argue that they deserve to be “engaged with,” even when their engagement is abusive. These Catfish casting calls seem to suggest a similar idea about how trolling works: that these are battles between two parties who’ve both decided to engage with one another, who both “comment on almost all of each other’s posts.” In reality, most trolling is one-sided. The troll keeps attacking and commenting on the content of someone who has no interest in engaging with them.
For that reason, I’m glad that the hosts include a YouTube personality like Braun, who has had personal experience with trolls. I’m a little less excited about Charlamagne Tha God, who has a tendency toward problematic confrontations, but I can also appreciate that he’ll be able to speak to the internet’s racism. I do wish they’d hired a woman host, though. Gendered harassment is such a massive issue, and it’s something that a show about trolling will need to address. A woman who’d experienced such harassment – particularly a woman of color – would have been the best choice to speak to this.
Overall, my suspicion is that Catfish: Trolls will end up like most MTV reality shows: airing a few great episodes, spotlighting a few important issues, providing some solid educational resources – and pumping out a whole lotta problematic drama. But how’s this show looking to you?

Discrete valuation
In mathematics, a discrete valuation is an integer valuation on a field K; that is, a function
satisfying the conditions
for all .
Note that often the trivial valuation which takes on only the values is explicitly excluded.
A field with a non-trivial discrete valuation is called a discrete valuation field.
Discrete valuation rings and valuations on fields
To every field with discrete valuation we can associate the subring
of , which is a discrete valuation ring. Conversely, the valuation on a discrete valuation ring can be extended in a unique way to a discrete valuation on the quotient field ; the associated discrete valuation ring is just .
Examples
For a fixed prime and for any element different from zero write with such that does not divide , then is a discrete valuation on , called the p-adic valuation.
Given a Riemann surface , we can consider the field of meromorphic functions . For a fixed point , we define a discrete valuation on as follows: if and only if is the largest integer such that the function can be extended to a holomorphic function at . This means: if then has a root of order at the point ; if then has a pole of order at . In a similar manner, one also defines a discrete valuation on the function field of an algebraic curve for every regular point on the curve.
More examples can be found in the article on discrete valuation rings.

Q:
How does the de Broglie-Bohm picture explain the double-slit experiment with single particles?
If the particle has a single well-defined trajectory in the de Broglie-Bohm theory, how come that the interference pattern still appears even with single particles?
A:
To elucidate Luc's answer somewhat, the Bohmian wave function still travels through both slits and causes an interference pattern, it's just the beables (particles) being guided by this wave that only travel through one slit. Because they're being guided by a wave that's exhibiting interference, the particle positions on the screen reflect this interference pattern.
There's a good animation of this here that might clear things up somewhat, or in image form:
(found at this link from a Google image search; although this particular illustration I believe is by David Bohm originally)
It's apparent from this, and interesting to note, that Bohmian trajectories don't cross. It's therefore possible to a priori determine which slit each particle passed through from its position on the screen. Measurement of a particle in transit affects its momentum however, so we still can't observe them taking one of these paths. Because of this, whilst this may be a good visual aid for some, it doesn't help over standard quantum mechanics beyond that. Outside the scope of your question, but you may be interested to know that there are other applications where calculating such trajectories are useful though as they can allow for more efficient quantum simulations - this is seen particularly in quantum chemistry.
If anything's not clear or you have any follow-ups, please feel free to ask.

Implementation of a province-wide computerized network in Quebec: the FAMUS Project.
General practitioners have busy schedules and are accustomed to working autonomously. But they will take an interest in research issues that could increase their efficiency or improve patient care. The use of medical informatics tools to facilitate collaborative research networks requires that participants accept the tools. This article describes the implementation of a province-wide computing network and discusses the opportunities afforded by the creation of a large central database documenting the process of care. |
Q:
Is pigment grade titanium dioxide likely to contain any impurities that are toxic?
I have a bag of titanium dioxide of pigment quality, unknown source. I am curious to know if the manufacturing process of titanium dioxide makes it likely that it contains any toxic by products / impurities.
Would it for example be safe to use pigment grade titanium dioxide to manufacture sunblock?
A:
According to the MSDS for titanium dioxide, the substance itself is suspected of causing cancer. See, for example, this link.
My opinion is that, in general, it's not a good idea to use reagents from unknown sources for any purpose, especially something like sunblock.

Current techniques in protein glycosylation analysis. A guide to their application.
The importance of glycosylation in biological events and the role it plays in glycoprotein function and structure is an area in which there is growing interest. In order to understand how glycosylation affects the shape or function of a protein it is however important to have suitable techniques available to obtain structural information on the oligosaccharides attached to the protein. For many years the complexity of the structures required sophisticated analytical techniques only available to a few specialist laboratories. In many cases these techniques were not available or required a large amount of material and therefore the number of glycoproteins which were fully characterised were relatively few. In recent years there have been substantial developments in the analysis of glycosylation which has significantly changed the capability to fully characterise molecules of biological interest. A number of different techniques are available which differ in terms of their complexity, the amount of information which is available from them, the skill needed to perform them and their cost. It is now possible for many laboratories who do not specialise in glycosylation analysis to obtain some information although this may be incomplete. These developments do, however, also make complete characterisation of a glycoprotein a much less daunting task and in many cases this can be performed more easily and with less starting material than was previously required. In this review a summary will be given of current techniques and their suitability for different types of analysis will be considered. |
Q:
BroadcastReceiver wake lock needed if only AsyncTask is executed?
I have got a class, which extends from BroadcastReceiver and gets called from AlarmManager. In the onReceive method I execute an AsyncTask, which fetches some data from the internet and stores the data in the local database of the application.
Do I need to acquire wakelock with:
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
PowerManager pm = (PowerManager) context.getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE);
mWakeLock = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK, "");
mWakeLock.acquire();
// execute AsyncTask
}
private void asyncTaskDone() {
mWakeLock.release();
}
in order to stop the CPU from sleeping or is it safe to execute the AsyncTask without a wake lock?
A:
I suggest you to read the docs about the receiver lifecycle. What you are trying to do is not good practice, If the onReceive() method returns the process can be killed. Hence your task can't complete the work. Because of this you should start a Service/IntentService to run the task and to keep the process alive.

This may sound silly, but I plan trips to mountain towns around the brews that flow from their taps. What would you say are the East’s best craft and microbrews that come from mountain towns?
You can sometimes find Ninja Porter in bottles at local markets, but they sell out fast—so the only place to be assured of securing some is at one of the Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company’s two locations. And this beer is worth the trip. It’s dark and full-flavored without being heavy, giving you soft hints of black coffee and chocolate. Bring a growler of this sweet, slightly hoppy brew to a party in Asheville and you’ll be a hero forever. |

Parent-child relationships are very common in relational database schemas. For example, a database schema might indicate a relationship between a manager (the “parent”) and one or more employees (the “children”) who are subordinate to that manager. For another example, a database schema might indicate a relationship between a purchase order (the “parent”) and one or more lines (the “children”) that are a part of that purchase order. Data that contains such parent-child relationships is called hierarchical data, since the parent-child relationships form a hierarchy.
Typically, the way that a parent-child relationship is modeled within a relational database table is to include, within the table that contains the “child” records, a column that indicates a row identifier for a “parent” record that is related to those child records in a parent-child relationship (in a relational database table, each row of the table may have a unique row identifier). For example, in an “employee” table, an employee “Alice” might be a child record of another employee “Mel;” Mel might be Alice's manager, for example. The employee table might contain a “manager ID” (i.e., the parent ID) column. In the employee table, the row containing Alice's record might contain, in the manager ID column, the row identifier for the row (in the employee table) that contains Mel's record. Taking the example further, if Mel is also the manager for employees “Vera” and “Flo,” then, in the employee table, the rows containing Vera's and Flo's records might also contain, in the manager ID column, the row identifier for the row that contains Mel's record. If Mel himself has a manager, then the value of the manager ID in Mel's record might also indicate the row identifier for the row that contains Mel's manager's record.
Structured Query Language (SQL) has operators and constructs that allow an interested user to formulate queries that, when executed, will (a) cause all of the children of a specified parent to be returned, (b) cause all of the descendants (i.e., the children of, the children of those children, etc.) of a specified parent to be returned, (c) cause the parent of a specified child to be returned, and/or (d) cause all of the ancestors (i.e., the parent of, the parent of that parent, etc.) of a specified child to be returned.
Using such an approach, determining the immediate parent or children of a specified entity may be accomplished fairly trivially using a simple index lookup. However, determining more extended relationships, such as all ancestors or all descendants of a specified entity, can be much more complicated. Although SQL contains a “CONNECT-BY” construct that permits such complicated operations to be expressed in a relatively compact manner, evaluating a query that contains such a construct involves an N-step algorithm in which each step involves a separate index scan. For example, if a query requests all of the descendants of a specified entity, and if there are N levels of descendants represented in the hierarchy, then evaluating the query will involve at least N separate index scans.
Where N is very large, evaluating such a query can be very costly in terms of both time and computing resources. Database system performance can suffer when such a query is evaluated. What is needed is a way of obtaining, from a database, hierarchical relationship information, such as all of the ancestors or descendants of a specified entity, without incurring the high costs that are associated with large numbers of index scans. The approaches described in this section are approaches that could be pursued, but not necessarily approaches that have been previously conceived or pursued. Therefore, unless otherwise indicated, it should not be assumed that any of the approaches described in this section qualify as prior art merely by virtue of their inclusion in this section. |
The Story of Frida
Frida Kahlo was a very courageous woman that made her own rules in life, not following conventions but following her own beliefs.
Inspired by Frida’s boldness, we took the fabric we used in this jacket and gave it the design we intended. So we brooke the convention of its own design and altered its shape. The result? A fantastic bolded printed jacket, comfortable and easy wearing. A statement piece that like Frida won’t leave anyone indifferent! |
Head mounted display systems have been developed for a number of different applications including use by aircraft pilots and for simulation. Head mounted displays are generally limited by their resolution and by their size and weight. Existing displays have relatively low resolution and are positioned at a relatively large distance from the eye. Of particular importance, is to keep the center of gravity of the display from extending upward and forward from the center of gravity of the head and neck of the wearer, where it will place a large torque on the wearer's neck and may bump into other instruments during use. There is a continuing need to present images to the wearer of a helmet mounted display in a high-resolution format similar to that of a computer monitor. The display needs to be as non-intrusive as possible, leading to the need for a lightweight and compact system. |
"Single suture" for exposure of the heart in left ventricular assist device placement.
Using the "single suture" technique described for exposure of the heart during off-pump coronary surgery, all surfaces of the heart may be exposed with little hemodynamic compromise. Using this technique, the apex of the heart is easily elevated for left ventricular assist device (LVAD) insertion in patients with either ischemic or dilated cardiomyopathy. This technique may provide the groundwork for routine placement of LVADs without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. |
The hexagonal model of heat exchanger brick is well known, with its hexagonal or circular longitudinal inside channels and with a lateral profile selected so that when the bricks are placed next to one another they form other similar longitudinal channels, and by modifying the lower part of the brick in the shape of a step to reduce the outside dimensions, the outside vertical channels can be made to communicate horizontally. Such a brick having a "step" in the lower part of the brick is disclosed in Romanian patent 107441B. These bricks of the prior art have the follow disadvantages:
as a result of the presence of the step to reduce the horizontal cross-section in the lower part of the contour of the brick, the vertical lateral faces of the brick are complicated and therefore cause additional problems during molding, handling during fabrication and shipment from the point of view of uniformity and of the integrity of the additional edges created; PA1 because of the position and dimensions of said lateral step, the surface contact of the peripheral vertical faces of the brick with the thermal agent is limited to a reduced percentage of their size. |
Applying neural networks as software sensors for enzyme engineering.
The on-line control of enzyme-production processes is difficult, owing to the uncertainties typical of biological systems and to the lack of suitable on-line sensors for key process variables. For example, intelligent methods to predict the end point of fermentation could be of great economic value. Computer-assisted control based on artificial-neural-network models offers a novel solution in such situations. Well-trained feedforward-backpropagation neural networks can be used as software sensors in enzyme-process control; their performance can be affected by a number of factors. |
The localisations in liposomal membranes of the tetrahydrofuran ring moieties of the annonaceous acetogenins, annonacin and sylvaticin, as determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy.
The positions of the tetrahydrofuran (THF) ring moieties of annonacin (a mono-THF ring Annonaceous acetogenin) and sylvaticin (a non-adjacent bis-THF ring Annonaceous acetogenin) within liposomal membranes made of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) were determined by proton (1H) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Based on 1H intermolecular nuclear Overhauser effects (NOEs), the THF rings of both acetogenins studied reside near the polar interfacial head group region of the DMPC. Recently, we have reported that the THF rings of a series of asimicin type of Annonaceous acetogenins (with adjacent bis-THF rings) also reside near the interfacial head group of DMPC. We can now conclude that the Annonaceous acetogenins, containing either mono-, adjacent bis-, or non-adjacent bis-THF ring moieties, have their THF ring moieties at the interfacial region of membranes, i.e., the THF ring moiety seems to serve a role as an anchor in the lipid membranes. This may be related to the uniquely potent bioactivities that Annonaceous acetogenins exhibit at their enzyme-inhibitory sites within mitochondrial and plasma membranes. |

Q:
Is there a way to not display empty TreeCells in JavaFX?
My TreeView is displayed even though there are no TreeItems in it. Is there any way to not display the TreeCells before they actually have a corresponding TreeItem to display?
This is how it looks without any items:
This is how it looks when one item is added to the root:
Thanks for any suggestions :)
A:
I think you can not prevent empty TreeCells being added to the TreeView, but if all you care about is appearance, you can define different style for empty cells. Empty cells have the :empty pseudo class, which you can use in your CSS:
.tree-cell:empty {
-fx-background-color: transparent;

Receptive Vocabulary, Cognitive Flexibility, and Inhibitory Control Differentially Predict Older and Younger Adults' Success Perceiving Speech by Talkers With Dysarthria.
Previous research has demonstrated equivocal findings related to the effect of listener age on intelligibility ratings of dysarthric speech. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mechanisms that support younger and older adults' perception of speech by talkers with dysarthria. Younger and older adults identified words in phrases produced by talkers with dysarthria. Listeners also completed assessments on peripheral hearing, receptive vocabulary, and executive control functions. Older and younger adults did not differ in their ability to perceive speech by talkers with dysarthria. Younger adults' success in identifying words produced by talkers with dysarthria was associated only with their hearing acuity. In contrast, older adults showed effects of working memory and cognitive flexibility and interactions between hearing acuity and receptive vocabulary and between hearing acuity and inhibitory control. Although older and younger adults had equivalent performance identifying words produced by talkers with dysarthria, older adults appear to utilize more cognitive support to identify those words. |

Benign intraductal papilloma: diagnosis and removal at stereotactic vacuum-assisted directional biopsy guided by galactography.
Galactography was performed in women who had problematic nipple discharge. In five women who had a focal intraductal filling defect, immediate stereotactic vacuum-assisted directional biopsy of the filling defect was performed; results were a benign intraductal papilloma in each, with atypia in one. In the four women who did not have atypia, the procedure was diagnostic and appears to have been therapeutic as well, since nipple discharge ceased after the procedure. |
Q:
JDBC: How to clear the contents of a result set before using it again?
I want to clear the contents of a result set (but nothing should happen to the underlying database) before using it again to execute a new query?
Is there any method which will delete its data (but do nothing to the underlying database, that's important), so that I can use the same resultset again to retrieve data from another query?
A quick search in the API documentation gave me the idea that deleting things through a method like deleteRow() will actually delete data from the database as well. I just want to reset/refresh/clear the resultSet, so that when it is again used to get results of another query, it should contain data from that query only, and not the previous one.
Or does it automatically remove its contents itself once we have retrieved them from it (through methods like ResultSet.getInt(), ResultSet.getString() etc.)
EDIT:-
Can we create new result sets for executing each query in the same method?
A:
Lets say you want to execute a query like this :
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("select * from people");
You would iterate of the results with something like this:
while(result.next()) {
// ... get column values from this record
}
Then you just reuse the variable rs to execute another query like:
rs = statement2.executeQuery("select * from cars");
Here is a tutorial on working with ResultSet

A Forbes columnist has matter-of-factly opined that “the only reason” bitcoin has any value is due to illegal usage.
In a published column yesterday, Jason Bloomberg, the president of an analyst firm that proclaims itself as ‘the first and only industry analysis and advisory firm focused on agile digital transformation’, reveals his “chilling realization”, one that we must all face.
Bloomberg references the IRS-Coinbase tax case and bitcoin’s usage among ransomware extortionists in his opinion piece, stating “the underlying value of Bitcoin really has little if nothing to do with its artificial scarcity or popularity as a medium of speculation.”
In a sweeping statement, Bloomberg added:
On the contrary – the only reason bitcoin has value to anyone is because of the underlying value as a medium of exchange for lawbreakers. If we could flip a switch and eliminate all illegal uses of Bitcoin, there would be nothing left of the cybercurrency.
Bloomberg leans heavily on the IRS-Coinbase case to base his opinions on the world’s most prominent cryptocurrency, due to become a valid method of payment in Japan this Saturday after the country’s legislature recognized it to have the same properties of the Japanese yen.
The opinion piece includes counter-arguments to the analyst’s analysis but predominantly sticks to one rationale with subheadings the likes of ‘Tax Evasion Merely the Nail in Bitcoin’s Coffin’.
“[The IRS] subpoena is but the latest skirmish in a years-long war against criminals who have been leveraging Bitcoin for a wide variety of nefarious purposes,” writes Bloomberg, adding that “the majority of Americans who trade in Bitcoin are likely breaking the law.”
For ‘law-abiding, tax-paying citizens’ who may be interested in Bitcoin, Bloomberg has one final question. “Does the fact that the cybercurrency is primarily used for criminal purposes taint it for other uses, a la blood diamonds?” asks the analyst.

Chattanooga Aerials Student : Leslie Godwin
Emphasizing fun ABOVE all else.
Schedule Something
We offer aerial workshops to the public, and weekly classes and private lessons to the members of our studio. If this is your first time trying aerials, you can either come to an Introductory Workshop or take a private workshop/lesson that you organize.
We are also available for parties, performances and events of all kinds. Please feel free to contact us at chattanoogaaerials@gmail.com for details!
Wear Something
You'll want to wear a shirt that completely covers your armpit area and your stomach. You will be much more comfortable if the shirt isn't too loose, and can be tucked in easily as you will be upside down very often!
Wear pants that are easy to move around in, and that will cover the backs of your knees... longer Capri pants will work, but shorts will not. Avoid wind-pants and other slick materials unless you are an experienced aerialist.
We have found that full length cotton yoga pants or leggings are the most versatile and comfortable. Most of our students and teachers prefer to wear two layers (a tank top or leotard underneath, and a fitted long sleeve shirt on top that can be tucked in for certain moves) as it is the most suited for what we do at our studio!
Love Something
Once you have taken an Introductory Workshop, you are welcome to become a member of our studio when a spot becomes available in one of our existing weekly classes.
All of our members are required to participate on both pieces of equipment. We have discovered through years of training that in order to be the best aerialist one can be, the use of both pieces of equipment is necessary, making you stronger, both physically and mentally. |

Q:
File is not able to upload in Magnolia
I have the Controller below :
@Controller
public class UploadComponent {
private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(UploadComponent.class);
@RequestMapping("/uploadFile")
public String render(@ModelAttribute("fileUpload") FileUpload fileUpload, ModelMap model)throws RepositoryException {
return "components/upload.jsp";
}
@RequestMapping(value = "/uploadFile", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String uploadFileHandler(@ModelAttribute("fileUpload") FileUpload fileUpload, HttpServletRequest request) {
logger.info("post method executed");
CommonsMultipartFile file = fileUpload.getPhoto();
if (!file.isEmpty()) {
...
...
}
}
The Model Class as follows :
public class FileUpload implements Serializable {
CommonsMultipartFile photo;
String name;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public CommonsMultipartFile getPhoto() {
return photo;
}
public void setPhoto(CommonsMultipartFile photo) {
this.photo = photo;
}
}
}
My Jsp as follows :
<form:form commandName="fileUpload" method="POST"action="uploadFile"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
File to upload: <form:input type="file" path="Photo" class="pp_text" /><br />
Name: <form:input type="text" path="name" class="pp_button" /><br /> <br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload"> Press here to upload the file!
</form:form>
I have configure the CommonsMultipartResolver in applicationContext.xml file
When I am submitting the form I am unable to getting the file.
It is not setting the "Photo" field.
So I am getting the NullPointerException in Controller while retrieving the photo field.
Can anyone suggest me Where the problem exist?
How can I resolve this issue?
A:
Most likely, it is Magnolia getting in your way ... should be easy to verify. In your controller just before you get NPE, try to call MgnlContext.getParameter("Photo") and see what you get. Or to see whole posted form you can also do MgnlContext.getPostedForm().
If you verify that it is indeed Magnolia that holds the value of the field, you can either forget about processing field yourself and let Magnolia handle multipart for you or if that is not what you want, you can configure bypass for MultipartFilter in config:/server/filters/multipartRequest to tell Magnolia to not touch anything that is coming in for your controller uri.
If that the above doesn't help, you can try to add info.magnolia.debug.DumpHeadersFilter in the filter chain (anywhere after context filter) and see in the log what it tells you about incoming request. Despite the name, it will also print out params and values. Maybe that can give you some clue.

A parrot landed its owner in hot water after accidentally exposing a husband's affair with the housekeeper - in front of his wife.
The pesky bird began repeating the conversations the man was having with his lover, causing suspicion with his wife .
Realising that the parrot was picking up the flirty comments from inside the home, she put two and two together and exposed their love affair.
The couple live in Kuwait, where adultery is illegal, and so the wife marched to police with the parrot as evidence.
(Image: Getty)
Luckily for her spouse, they rejected it on the basis that the bird could have overheard the sweet nothings on the TV or radio.
The wife said she has suspected for some time that her husband was cheating on her, according to local newspaper Al Shahed Daily.
Adultery in Kuwait can result in a prison sentence or forced hard labour. |
Q:
XSL: Test if there is only one child node
I have some XML-Code that looks like:
<l>
some text <app><rdg>text inside an app</rdg></app>
</l>
<l>
<app><rdg>line with text inside an app</rdg></app>
</l>
I want to process the XML with XSLT and append different attributes to the output, depending on:
If the line contains text and an <app> and an <rdg>with text in it
If line contains only text, that is inside an <rdg>-Element
I tried the following solution, which does not work for me:
<xsl:for-each select="l">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="app/rdg">
<myElement>
<xsl:attribute name="class" select="'case1'"/>
</myElement>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when
test="app/rdg[not(../following-sibling::*) and
not(../preceding-sibling::*)]">
<myElement>
<xsl:attribute name="class" select="'case2'"/>
</myElement>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
Is there a way to distinguish these two (or of course even more) cases?
A:
Your first condition
If the line contains text and an <app> and an <rdg> with text in it
It is equal to this XPath expression:
text() and app[rdg]
Your second condition
If line contains only text, that is inside an <rdg>-Element
It's equal to this XPath expression:
not(.//text()[not(parent::rdg)])
All these in the context of an l element.

For wireless networks that share time-sensitive information on the fly, it’s not enough to transmit data quickly. That data also need to be fresh. Consider the many sensors in your car. While it may take less than a second for most sensors to transmit a data packet to a central processor, the age of that data may vary, depending on how frequently a sensor is relaying readings.
In an ideal network, these sensors should be able to transmit updates constantly, providing the freshest, most current status for every measurable feature, from tire pressure to the proximity of obstacles. But there’s only so much data that a wireless channel can transmit without completely overwhelming the network.
How, then, can a constantly updating network — of sensors, drones, or data-sharing vehicles — minimize the age of the information that it receives at any moment, while at the same time avoiding data congestion?
Engineers in MIT’s Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems are tackling this question and have come up with a way to provide the freshest possible data for a simple wireless network.
The researchers say their method may be applied to simple networks, such as multiple drones that transmit position coordinates to a single control station, or sensors in an industrial plant that relay status updates to a central monitor. Eventually, the team hopes to tackle even more complex systems, such as networks of vehicles that wirelessly share traffic data.
“If you are exchanging congestion information, you would want that information to be as fresh as possible,” says Eytan Modiano, professor of aeronautics and astronautics and a member of MIT’s Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems. “If it’s dated, you might make the wrong decision. That’s why the age of information is important.”
Modiano and his colleagues presented their method in a paper at IEEE’s International Conference on Computation Communications (Infocom), where it won a Best Paper Award. The paper will appear online in the future. The paper’s lead author is graduate student Igor Kadota; former graduate student Abhishek Sinha is also a co-author.
Keeping it fresh
Traditional networks are designed to maximize the amount of data that they can transmit across channels, and minimize the time it takes for that data to reach its destination. Only recently have researchers considered the age of the information — how fresh or stale information is from the perspective of its recipient.
“I first got excited about this problem, thinking in the context of UAVs — unmanned aerial vehicles that are moving around in an environment, and they need to exchange position information to avoid collisions with one another,” Modiano says. “If they don’t exchange this information often enough, they might collide. So we stepped back and started looking at the fundamental problem of how to minimize age of information in wireless networks.”
In this new paper, Modiano’s team looked for ways to provide the freshest possible data to a simple wireless network. They modeled a basic network, consisting of a single data receiver, such as a central control station, and multiple nodes, such as several data-transmitting drones.
The researchers assumed that only one node can transmit data over a wireless channel at any given time. The question they set out to answer: Which node should transmit data at which time, to ensure that the network receives the freshest possible data, on average, from all nodes?
“We are limited in bandwidth, so we need to be selective about what and when nodes are transmitting,” Modiano says. “We say, how do we minimize age in this simplest of settings? Can we solve this? And we did.”
An optimal age
The team’s solution lies in a simple algorithm that essentially calculates an “index” for each node at any given moment. A node’s index is based on several factors: the age, or freshness of the data that it’s transmitting; the reliability of the channel over which it is communicating; and the overall priority of that node.
“For example, you may have a more expensive drone, or faster drone, and you’d like to have better or more accurate information about that drone. So, you can set that one with a high priority,” Kadota explains.
Nodes with a higher priority, a more reliable channel, and older data, are assigned a higher index, versus nodes that are relatively low in priority, communicating over spottier channels, with fresher data, which are labeled with a lower index.
A node’s index can change from moment to moment. At any given moment, the algorithm directs the node with the highest index to transmit its data to the receiver. In this prioritizing way, the team found that the network is guaranteed to receive the freshest possible data on average, from all nodes, without overloading its wireless channels.
The team calculated a lower bound, meaning an average age of information for the network that is fresher than any algorithm could ever achieve. They found that the team’s algorithm performs very close to this bound, and that it is close to the best that any algorithm could do in terms of providing the freshest possible data for a simple wireless network.
“We came up with a fundamental bound that says, you cannot possibly have a lower age of information than this value — no algorithm could be better than this bound — and then we showed that our algorithm came close to that bound,” Modiano says. “So it’s close to optimal.”
The team is planning to test its index scheme on a simple network of radios, in which one radio may serve as a base station, receiving time-sensitive data from several other radios. Modiano’s group is also developing algorithms to optimize the age of information in more complex networks.
“Our future papers will look beyond just one base station, to a network with multiple base stations, and how that interacts,” Modiano says. “And that will hopefully solve a much bigger problem.”

Q:
Save state on component object directly?
The react documentation recommends to store a components state in its "state" property. But it appears that it's also well possible to use the component object itself as the state.
For example, instead of doing:
{
getInitialState:function(){
return {firstname: this.props.firstname||"",lastname:this.props.lastname||""}
},
render:function(){
return React.DOM.div({},"Hello, "+this.state.firstname+" "+this.state.lastname);
}
}
I could do something like this:
{
getInitialState:function(){
this.constructor(this.props);
return {};
},
constructor:function(props){
this.firstname = props.firstname||"";
this.lastname = props.lastname||"";
},
render:function(){
return React.DOM.div({},"Hello, "+this.firstname+" "+this.lastname);
}
}
To me this looks much cleaner. But I'm afraid that this could have any unexpected side effects that I'm unaware of.
Is this a bad idea? Will it have any disadvantages? Why do you think did the React devs even go for a "state" property? I mean, if it worked the way I'd like it worked by default, the state-property-pattern could still be used by everyone that prefers it, but those who don't like it wouldn't need to even have a "getInitialState" function.
A:
React is built on top of the idea that a component always reflects the components 'state'.
When altering state with setState, React will rerender the parts that have been altered.
Internally, a React component is a javascript object just as everything else.
So of course you can alter properties directly, but this will not prompt react to rerender the component. Thus, your component will not always reflect the altered properties.
Thus, even if it would work to alter properties directly, it's a bad design-pattern since it's harder to refactor to state if you ever need it. It also breaks the standard design-pattern of React, which will make it harder to read for other developers.

Q:
php/mysql transaction
I'm doing a transaction with PHP and MySQL. Using PHPMyAdmin I'm inserting queries into my University DB, where I'm supposed to use transactions in some tables. So far I've made this code for my Staff transactions, but my problem is how can I get the information inserted in addStaff.php so I can use it as a query on this code? right where it says //values();
<?php
function begin()
{
mysql_query("BEGIN");
}
function commit()
{
mysql_query("COMMIT");
}
function rollback()
{
mysql_query("ROLLBACK");
}
mysql_connect("localhost","username", "password") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("test") or die(mysql_error());
$query = "INSERT INTO Staff (id,name,position,phone,email,roomNumber,dnumber)"
//values();
begin(); // BEGIN
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(!$result)
{
rollback(); // ROLLBACK
echo "You rolled back";
exit;
}
else
{
commit(); // COMMIT
echo "Transaction was succesful";
}
?>
A:
If I understand you question correct, you need to know how to prompt for data, accept it, and insert it into the database:
<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
... connect to the database ...
$sometext = $_POST['textfield']; // retrieve the value from the form
$qsometext = mysql_real_escape_string($sometext); // make it safe for the query
$sql = "INSERT INTO mytable (textfield) VALUES ($qsometext);" // build the sql query
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); // run the query
}
?>
<html>
<body>
<form method="POST">
<input type="text" name="textfield"><input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
That's a barebones version of how to show a form, then insert the user's data into a database, the simply re-displays the form for more data.

Progress thread support currently does not work, and may never be fully implemented. If you remove that configure option, it should work.

This invention relates generally to treatment of film, and more particularly concerns apparatus to remove dust from film slide surfaces guidedly advanced through a treatment zone, charged ions also being employed to neutralize static on such surfaces.
Prior devices have employed nuclear pellets to ionize air blasted over film slides advanced by hand past such devices. The cost of such equipment is objectionable in view of the need for replacement of the nuclear pellets, and also no way was known to effectively treat a large number of such slides advanced in rapid succession. Also, dust temporarily removed from such prior slides tended to settle back on film surfaces. |
Abdominal fat distribution and disease: an overview of epidemiological data.
Recent prospective, epidemiological research has demonstrated the power of an increased waist/hip circumference ratio (WHR) to predict both cardiovascular disease (CVD) and non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in men and women. Obesity, defined as an increased total body fat mass, seems to interact synergistically in the development of NIDDM, but not of CVD. Increased WHR with obesity (abdominal obesity) seems to be associated with a cluster of metabolic risk factors, as well as hypertension. This metabolic syndrome is closely linked to visceral fat mass. Increased WHR without obesity may instead be associated with lift style factors such as smoking, alcohol intake, physical inactivity, coagulation abnormalities, psychosocial, psychological and psychiatric factors. Direct observations show, and the risk factor associations further strengthen the assumption, that abdominal (visceral) obesity is more closely associated to NIDDM than CVD, while an increased WHR without obesity may be more closely linked to CVD than NIDDM. It remains to be established to what extent, if any, an increased WHR in lean men, and particularly in lean women, indicates fat distribution. Other components of the WHR measurement might be of more importance in this connection. |
OITNB S4 E10 “Bunny, Skull, Bunny, Skull” was about:
* Instead of a flashback, OITNB does a deep-dive into Aleida’s release from Litchfield. Aleida is released with nothing but her clothes, is picked up by Caesar’s other girlfriend, and finds out her nest egg was used without permission by her relatives.
* Daya’s adjustment to life without her Mother with her inside Litchfield. Gloria tries to keep her away from the Dominican gang in the beauty shop but Daya ignores her saying that she wants to be around people her own age. Daya offers to do nail art, including alternating nails with bunny, skull, bunny, skull.
* The continuing extra-judicial punishment of Blanca (who is being forced to stand on a table in the mess hall until she either apologizes or drops from exhaustion). The CO’s inform the rest of the inmates that if anyone helps Blanca they will be punished too.
Piper decides what is happening is inappropriate and takes it to Piscatella who tells her to take her complaint and shove it up her ass (more or less). Piper responds by giving Blanca food. CO Dixon sees Piper’s gesture and orders her to stand on the table next to Blanca.
* Sister Ingalls continuing attempts to acquire proof that Sophia is in the SHU. Things go horribly wrong when the cell phone she is hiding to take a picture of Sophia is discovered and confiscated.
Eventually, Caputo shows up and after ordering Sister Ingalls to remain in SHU, he takes the cell phone, takes a picture of Sophia himself, and then delivers the phone to Danny so that he can use it against MCC (Danny is now a prison reform activist). Danny tells Caputo to let Linda “the Sea Witch,” that he said hello.
* Red attempting to keep Nicky from using heroin by threatening all of the drug providers throughout the prison (including CO Dixon). Ultimately, Nicky appears to score marijuana from Luschek and maybe more, which infuriates Red.
* Maritza dealing with her horror after being forced to eat a baby mouse by CO Humps (who is apparently a totally insane psychopath). At one point, two of the other CO’s are shown talking about knowing that Humps is disturbed but also committing to back his insanity out of loyalty.
* Suzanne deciding to attempt to hook up with Kukudio again. Kukudio pretends to go along and then right as Suzanne is getting really excited, she stops abruptly as revenge for Suzanne walking out on her in the woods behind Litchfield (after everyone visited the Lake last season).
* Taystee convincing Caputo to let her show The Wiz on movie night. The playing of the movie almost starts a race war between the Black Girls and the Nazi’s. The CO’s ultimately stop the movie early causing tensions to increase even more.
During the increasing tensions, Cindy notices that Judy King leaves instead of standing with her and the rest of the African American girls.
No FOIA
As we talked about last week, private prison companies are often not under the same reporting requirements as State or Federally run prisons. As a result, abuses are much more easily covered up. If there is no Freedom of Information Act process, it becomes pretty hard to request the records of particular prisoners (like Sophia) or of disciplinary practices (like what the CO’s are doing to Blanca). |

Teaching the home care client.
Patient education in home health care continues to hold many challenges for the professional nurse. With the changing climate of the health care delivery system, an increasing number of clients are returning to their home "quicker but sicker." The demand on the nurse to provide more in-depth patient education in the client's home will increase. The nurse must be prepared to make a thorough assessment of the client's learning needs, develop and implement an effective teaching plan, evaluate learning, and revise the plan as necessary, as well as document the teaching. All of this must be achieved to ensure continuity of quality patient care and reimbursement by third-party payers. |

Java Nested If condition
I need to have nested if condition but i see my code has the same logic for the else portion as well.
Syntax
if(outer_condition){
if(inner_condition){
}
else{
employee.setCompany("ABC");
employee.setAddress("DEF");
}
}
else{
employee.setCompany("ABC");
employee.setAddress("DEF");
}
Both Else portion has to execute the same logic, is there a way to avoid this and make single Else condition ?
Thanks
A:
You can combine both conditions with && operator.
if (condition1 && condition2) {
// If both conditions code
} else {
employee.setCompany("ABC");
employee.setAddress("DEF");
}
Note If the code of the if statement is absent as it seams from your code is better to replace it with
if (!condition1 || !condition2) {
employee.setCompany("ABC");
employee.setAddress("DEF");
}

With the increasing use of stylus and touch sensitive screens to input lines and images into a computer, one problem that has arisen is the poor quality of the freehand drawn lines and shapes, and the resulting difficulty in interpreting the user input. Further there are a number of other difficulties in processing freehand sketched lines and images. First, is difficult to determine whether a freehand sketched line, that would typically not be straight, is a multiple-segment line with successive segments at angles to each other (a polyline) or is a single straight segment. Further, polysided shapes are often so irregular that the freehand drawing looks sloppy at best and may not be understandable at all by user or computer. The problem then is how to improve a freehand sketch of a line or shape so it may be more clearly understood by the user or any computing system processing the drawings. |
San Diego is not like any other city in the world when it comes to Bitcoin, as their relationship is rather special. After local businesses like Hangtime Climbing started accepting cryptocurrency payments and especially since the creation of the platform Bitcoins in San Diego, Bitcoin’s presence and awareness in the city, located in the state of California (USA), has been steadily increasing. So we talked with Eric Camerino, who owns ITSA Bike Shop in San Diego, about the crypto-scene in town. This small business just started accepting Bitcoin “because of the security of its transactions through Coinbase”. Camerino says that he “felt that Bitcoin had a real value to it”. So, he asks, “why not accept it when I already accept credit cards?”.
“To me, it’s just another form of ‘swiping’ for payment. Besides, technically there are fewer paper dollars out there than there is digitally (through credit) so I had a hard time conceiving a real reason to not try it out”, the merchant explains.
Eric Camerino found out about the existence of Bitcoin “a few weeks ago, through a mutual friend of Paul Puey’s [from Hangtime Climbing], who also accepts Bitcoin. After verifying some information from Paul and him showing me the simplicity and security of using Bitcoin, I decided to add it to my forms of accepted payments at my establishment. I accept it because of the secure nature of Bitcoin transfer and its ease of use”. |

Cross-country comparisons of entrepreneurship are difficult due to the lack of standard empirical definitions of entrepreneurship. Measures focusing on small business activity and self-employment suggest that Europe has the same or higher rates of entrepreneurship than the U.S. and East Asia. However, most business activity is not entrepreneurial in the Schumpeterian sense. We rely on empirical measures that more closely tally Schumpeterian entrepreneurship: self-made dollar billionaires per capita who earned their wealth by creating firms, top global firms founded in recent decades, unicorn startups, and VC investment as a share of GDP. Western Europe is shown to underperform in all four measures of high-impact Schumpeterian entrepreneurship relative to the U.S. Once we account for Europe’s strong performance in technological innovation, an “entrepreneurship deficit” relative to East Asia also becomes apparent. This underperformance is missed by most standard measures. Finally, we also find that China performs surprisingly well in Schumpeterian entrepreneurship, especially compared to Eastern Europe.

Q:
jQuery selector of name attribute for different element types
I have a table of rows. In one of the columns, some rows have a span with static text, some rows have a select with values to choose from. All elements in that one column have the same name attribute. In my form submit, I iterate thru the rows and want to get the values for all columns. I would prefer to have one jQuery selector statement to get the value from that element (span or select with name attribute of "materialValue"). How would I do that with jQuery? Here follows the html snippet.
<table>
<tr><td>
<span id="materialValue1" name="materialValue>ONE</span>
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
<span id="materialValue2" name="materialValue>TWO</span>
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
<select id="materialValue3" name="materialValue>
<option>ONE</option>
<option>TWO</option>
<option>THREE</option>
</select>
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
<select id="materialValue4" name="materialValue>
<option>ONE</option>
<option>TWO</option>
<option>THREE</option>
</select>
</td></tr>
</table>
Edit: I'm used to specifying the element type then square brackets with the attribute name/value. I'm not sure how to specify the jquery selector without the element type name. e.g. $('span[name="materialValue"]', this). Is it legal to specify $('[name="materialValue"]', this)? looks weird to me.
A:
All you need is an attribute selector:
$("[name='MaterialValue']")
Also, you are missing closing quotes after your attribute name in your html
Look here for reference:
http://api.jquery.com/attribute-equals-selector/
A:
Like this...
$("[name=materialValue]") // Select element with name attribute with a specific value
Attributes are selected using brackets. You can also use it like this in other cases...
$("div[id]") // Select element with an id attribute
$("[name*=test]") // Select all elements with *test* in the name attribute (partial)
etc..

Gas valves are commonly used in conjunction with gas-fired appliances for regulating gas flow and/or gas pressure at limits established by the manufacturer or by industry standard. In many cases, such devices can include pressure regulators to, for example, establish and/or maintain a gas pressure to help prevent over-combustion or fuel-rich combustion within the appliance, and/or to prevent combustion when the supply of gas is insufficient to permit proper operation of the appliance. Examples of gas-fired appliances that may employ such gas valves can include, but are not limited to, water heaters, furnaces, fireplace inserts, gas stoves, gas clothes dryers, gas grills, or any other such device where gas control is desired. Typically, such appliances utilize fuels such as natural gas or liquid propane as the primary fuel source, although other liquid and/or gas fuel sources may be provided depending on the type of appliance to be controlled.
In a gas-fired appliance, a combustion chamber and air plenum are typically provided along with a gas valve. A burner element, fuel manifold tube, ignition source, thermocouple, and/or pilot tube can also be provided as part of the burner system. During operation, when a heat demand is present, metered fuel is typically introduced via the gas valve through the fuel manifold tube and burner element and into the combustion chamber. The fuel is ignited by a pilot flame or other ignition source, causing fuel combustion at the burner element. In some cases, air may be drawn into the air plenum, sometimes under the assistance of an air blower, causing the air to mix with the fuel to support the combustion within the combustion chamber. The products of the combusted air-fuel mixture are typically fed through a flue or heat exchanger tube in the gas-fired appliance to heat by convection and conduction.
In some cases, the gas valve may include a pressure regulator to regulate the flow of gas at a pressure. In many cases, the pressure regulator references the pressure of the combustion chamber to help maintain and/or achieve a desired combustion level in the combustion chamber. Typically, a hose can be coupled to the pressure regulator and the combustion chamber or burner box to fluidly connect the pressure regulator and the reference pressure within the combustion chamber. It has been found, however, that in some cases, the hose may become blocked by condensate build-up or other particulate matter. Also, in some cases, the hose may become kinked or otherwise obstructed. In either case, the blockage may cause the pressure in the pressure regulator to increase or decrease resulting in over-combustion or under-combustion in the combustion chamber.
In some gas-fired systems, a separate fitting including a bleed orifice may be coupled between the pressure regulator and the hose to provide a reference pressure such as atmosphere if the hose becomes blocked. This additional fitting can, however, be removed from the system or not installed properly during installation. Also, the bleed orifice in the fitting may become blocked with grease or other material during handling. |

Progress with anti-tumor necrosis factor therapeutics for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy is a valid, effective and increasingly used option in inflammatory bowel disease management. Nevertheless, further knowledge and therapeutic indications regarding these drugs are still evolving. Anti-TNF therapy may be essential to achieve recently proposed end points, namely mucosal healing, prevention of bowel damage and prevention of patient's disability. Anti-TNF drugs are also suggested to be more effective in early disease, particularly in early Crohn's disease. Moreover, its efficacy for prevention of postoperative recurrence in Crohn's disease is still debated. Costs and adverse effects, the relevance of drug monitoring and the possibility of anti-TNF therapy withdrawal in selected patients are still debated issues. This review aimed to describe and discuss the most relevant data about the progress with anti-TNF therapy for the management of inflammatory bowel disease. |
MYCN Amplification in Neuroblastoma: a Paradigm for the Clinical Use of an Oncogene.
Increase of the dosage of cellular oncogenes by DNA amplification is a frequent genetic alteration of cancer cells. The presence of amplified cellular oncogenes is usually signalled by conspicuous chromosomal abnormalities, "double minutes" (DMs) or "homogeneously staining chromsomal regions" (HSRs). Some human cancers carry a specific amplified oncogene at high incidence. In neuroblastomas the amplification of MYCN has been found associated with aggressively growing cancers and is an indicator for poor prognosis. MYCN amplification is of predictive value for identifying neuroblastoma patiens that require specific therapeutic regimens and for identifying patients that will not benefit from chemotherapy. |
Q:
How to make new cells in ipython notebook markdown by default?
Currently, whenever you create a new cell in an iPython notebook, it defaults to a opening up a cell for Python code. I can then change it to markdown by hitting the keyboard shortcut ctrl m m
Is there any method or any setting I can tweak so that new cells default to being in "markdown mode"?
I did find this question which appears to ask the same thing, but it was erroneously flagged as a duplicate and wasn't answered.
A:
I was just reading the IPython notebook js code, and found the insert_cell_below method at https://github.com/ipython/ipython/blob/master/IPython/html/static/notebook/js/notebook.js#L849 .
If you want to do this programatically, it would simply be a case of doing something like:
from IPython.display import display, Javascript
def markdown_below():
display(Javascript("""
IPython.notebook.insert_cell_below('markdown')
"""));
markdown_below()
This would be fairly early to turn into a button on the toolbar in a similar way to the gist button in https://github.com/minrk/ipython_extensions.

Q:
When should I use Popen() and when should I use call()?
Caveat: new to Python.
Wanting to hear from professionals who actually use it:
What are the main differences between subprocess.Popen() and subprocess.call() and when is it best to use each one?
Unless you want to read why I was thinking about this question or what to center your answer around, you may stop reading now.
I was inspired to ask this question because I am working through an issue in a script where I started using subprocess.Popen(), eventually called a system pause, and then wanted to delete the .exe that created the system pause, but I noticed with Popen(), the commands all seemed to run together (the delete on the .exe gets executed before the exe is closed..), though I tried adding communicate().
Here is fake code for what I'm describing above:
subprocess.Popen(r'type pause.exe > c:\worker.exe', shell=True).communicate()
subprocess.Popen(r'c:\worker.exe', shell=True).communicate()
subprocess.Popen(r'del c:\worker.exe', shell=True).communicate()

subprocess.call(*popenargs, **kwargs)
Run command with arguments. Wait for
command to complete, then return the
returncode attribute.
If you create a Popen object, you must call the sp.wait() yourself.
If you use call, that's done for you.

Roots and Radicals
Roots and Radicals introduces students to rational exponents and helps with studying how to simplify and otherwise manipulate expressions with radicals and roots using their properties and rules. Students will learn through practice problems like those found in their homework how to rationalize, combine, expand radicals. Topics include: |
Electron kinetic effects in the nonlinear evolution of a driven ion-acoustic wave.
The electron kinetic effects are shown to play an important role in the nonlinear evolution of a driven ion-acoustic wave. The numerical simulation results obtained (i) with a hybrid code, in which the electrons behave as a fluid and the ions are described along the particle-in-cell (PIC) method, are compared with those obtained (ii) with a full-PIC code, in which the kinetic effects on both species are retained. The electron kinetic effects interplay with the usual fluid-type nonlinearity to give rise to a broadband spectrum of ion-acoustic waves saturated at a low level, even in the case of a strong excitation. This low asymptotic level might solve the long-standing problem of the small stimulated Brillouin scattering reflectivity observed in laser-plasma interaction experiments. |
