TEN banks slipped out from under the TARP last week, striking deals with the Treasury Department to repay taxpayer money they received last fall. Many bailout-weary investors and taxpayers welcomed this sign that government intervention in the financial sector may finally be receding.
It has been a long slog through the credit morass, and investors are understandably eager to think they are emerging onto higher ground. Still, the bad debt that was amassed by consumers and companies in recent years hasn’t been fully purged, even with the help of the Troubled Asset Relief Program. And the debt on financial companies’ balance sheets must do a lot more shrinking before we can move on from this ugly chapter in financial history.
To get a fix on how much work remains to be done, consider the substantial amount of short-term debt coming due at financial companies in the next year or two. As you absorb these figures, keep in mind that many of the entities that bought this debt when it was issued aren’t around now they’ve either left the market or are gone, casualties of the crisis.
As a result, they’re not around to step up and buy the debt again. So issuers can’t roll it over. They’ll be forced to buy back the debt, at a time when they’re already wallowing in other forms of troublesome debt and short on liquidity. |
The prospect of using alternative medical care facilities in an influenza pandemic.
Alternative care facilities (ACFs) have been widely proposed in state, local, and national pandemic preparedness plans as a way to address the expected shortage of available medical facilities during an influenza pandemic. These plans describe many types of ACFs, but their function and roles are unclear and need to be carefully considered because of the limited resources available and the reduced treatment options likely to be provided in a pandemic. Federal and state pandemic plans and the medical literature were reviewed, and models for ACFs being considered were defined and categorized. Applicability of these models to an influenza pandemic was analyzed, and recommendations are offered for future ACF use. ACFs may be best suited to function as primary triage sites, providing limited supportive care, offering alternative isolation locations to influenza patients, and serving as recovery clinics to assist in expediting the discharge of patients from hospitals. |

A commonly desired feature of video surveillance cameras is the ability to detect when something unusual happens and then issue an appropriate report or alarm. Historically, detection of unusual events in video surveillance has been performed by is having security professionals watching video footage of a scene on one or more video display monitors. More recently, the field of video analytics has allowed computers to perform automatic detection of objects in video. Security professionals can use these detected video objects to create rules that trigger alarms or events when certain criteria are met. For example, an object of a certain size entering a predefined area of a scene may trigger an alarm. These rules are used for a variety of purposes, such as intrusion detection, abandoned object detection, removed object detection, tailgating detection, speeding detection, and falling over detection.
While such rules are useful in a scene with requirements that are well understood and easily definable, sometimes a scene is more complicated and it is difficult to set up accurate rules, or the security professional just wants to be told when something unusual happens.
There are several existing systems for detecting abnormal events. One method uses motion detection to estimate velocity at each point of a scene captured in a video sequence, without associating that velocity with any particular object, in order to build up an average “flow map” of the scene over a period of time. If a current video sequence has velocities that are sufficiently different from the flow map, the method triggers an abnormal behaviour event. This method is limited to velocity vectors, however, because this method does not perform true object detection. This method cannot detect objects of unusual size, or objects in unusual positions in the scene, unless these objects are also accompanied by sufficiently unusual velocity vectors.
Another method uses background subtraction to build up statistics for a scene over time relating to how often a portion of the scene is part of the background. At a given time, a current foreground mask can be compared with an average background mask to detect whether the current frame has objects in abnormal positions. This method is limited to detecting abnormal positions of objects. This method is not able to detect an object moving at an unusual speed, or an object of an unusual size, unless that object was also in an unusual position.
A third method uses histograms to accumulate position and motion information about a scene, using point-feature extraction to obtain object and tracking data. Abnormal events are detected by comparing current positions and motions of objects with the histograms. This method has a disadvantage in that because input parameters are broken up into histogram bins, it is memory intensive to add extra parameters, each parameter contributing an additional dimension to the storage array. In addition, because this method uses point-feature extraction, it has no concept of object size.
Thus, a need exists to provide an improved method for classifying a behaviour of a detected video object in a video frame. |
Sony pros take the A7R III on exciting adventures across the world
While we have plenty of sample images from the new Sony A7R III for you to peruse in our Gallery, Sony has also been publishing some very neat videos about the new camera.
Below we have shared a pair of Sony A7R III videos from time lapse professional Drew Geraci and adventure photographer Chris Burkard respectively.
The video from Geraci was captured in New Zealand and is a stunning display of time lapse skill and technical prowess. There are beautiful mountain vistas, still lakes and the Milky Way shown off below. Be sure to watch it at a high quality setting.
Chris Burkard and Renan Ozturk took the Sony A7R III to the American Southwest, both on the ground and in the air. It's a pretty wild adventure they took their A7R III cameras on. Check it out below. |
Trudeau declared a climate emergency. And then approved a pipeline.
Trudeau Liberals are ignoring their own warnings about climate dangers, that they spoke of last night.
Emergencies require immediate, serious action.
Elizabeth will do everything in her power to stop this pipeline. She’s already been arrested protesting Trans Mountain, alongside Indigenous leaders, environmentalists and scientists. But for the next phase, she and Green MP Paul Manly will need all the support they can get to fight this reckless pipeline in the House of Commons.
We can’t let this go unchecked.
Will you add your name now to send Trudeau a clear message that we can’t build more pipelines in the middle of a climate emergency, before these bonuses go through? |
A golden beer with a fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of corn, besides light notes of malt. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of straw, on a boring malty background. Towards the end I pick up light notes of corn, before a dry end sets in. A boring beer.
[Canned] Pale golden, airy head. Very vague citric nose. Sweetish with rounded mouthfeel. Completely void of any sort of character. Though it has medium body and some light bitterness there is hardly any flavour whatsoever.
(on can) Funny name and what´s the thing with the mink with a hat on the label? Pale yellow, disapearing head. vague aroma, but I got both vanilla, barley and grass. carbonated like a sodapop. Nice, rounded taste of the pale malts actually,. But a fizzu and metallic finish.

Q:
Can the manifest file be dynamic in Chrome Apps?
I am writing a Chrome App that communicate with a web page. For that I have added something similar in my manifest file.
"externally_connectable": {
"matches": ["*://*.example.com/*"]
}
But the "example.com" has to be dynamic as individual customers has their one web server.
Is there any possibility, user(who install the app) can change the externally_connectable site/s.
A:
There is an alternative way a web page can communicate with extension through content script. This approach can be used if both web page and extension are done by you.
E.g.
web page <--> content script of extension <--> background script of
extension <--> native application
For web page to content script of extension communication use window.postMessage and window.addEventListener
For Google Chrome browser,
For content script of extension to background script of extension communication use chrome.runtime.sendMessage and chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener
For background script of extension to native application communication use chrome.runtime.sendNativeMessage
Please make sure your code has necessary security in place.

‘Supergirl’ and ‘Arrow’ Stars Speak Out on Producer’s Sexual Harassment
Late Friday saw Supergirl and Flash fans taken aback with word that producer Andrew Kreisberg had his own streak of sexual harassment. That put the stars in a difficult position, but Melissa Benoist herself has now spoken up about “refusing to accept an environment that is anything less than a safe, respectful and collaborative space,” as have other Arrow cast.
Kreisberg has since been suspended in his capacity as executive producer, following a Variety report that at least nineteen staffers had complained about the Arrow-verse boss’ history of lewd comments and inappropriate touching. It isn’t entirely clear what Kreisberg’s role might be going forward, but Benoist took it on her super-shoulders to become the first franchise star with indirect comments on the matter:
Benoist wasn’t the only star willing to speak out, however, as Arrow vet Emily Bett Rickards took a sharper line against those who perpetuate rape culture:
That line about “reverse sexism” seems particularly charged, as Arrow’s own executive producer Marc Guggenheim took flack on Twitter for invoking reverse sexism in a response to Conan O’Brien:
Other stars like David Ramsey, Chyler Leigh and Caity Lotz also offered platitudes in support of Benoist and Rickards:
UPDATE: Stephen Amell released his own video statement, having spoken to the Arrow cast and crew first:
Kreisberg had been serving in a more overall producer capacity to Flash and Supergirl, but we’ll see if his suspension has any noticeable effect on the franchise, or if other stars speak out. Stay tuned for the latest in the meantime. |

If some people are going to say that INTJs bump into walls, don’t pay attention, doze off, and aren’t athletic as S-types, wouldn’t this mean that INTJs are “less predacious” than say ISTJs? If ISTJs have a closer relationship to the empirical, reality, and concrete, wouldn’t that also mean that they’re likely to make better hunters, killers, or predators? Is it possible that a lot of INTJs with a death stare or death glare are mistyped and are actually ISTJs? Is it possible to argue a case saying that ISTJs might actually make better surgeons than INTJs? Could some general evolutionary theory somehow be connected to everything that has been said?

After browsing through the Google search engines typing in various phrases, I can’t believe some people actually believe Elon Musk to be an ENTJ. Check out the following:
When Musk was a child, he would often gaze into the distance while his parents were speaking to him, which led them to believe that he might be hard of hearing. Doctors removed his adenoids, but it made no difference. It turned out he was just daydreaming. His mother, Maye, told biographer Ashlee Vance, “He goes into his brain, and then you just see he is in another world. … Now I just leave him be because I know he is designing a new rocket or something.”
"Every ENTJ I’ve ever met has this slightly vague look in their eyes, like they see you but at the same time they don’t. I’ve been told that I do this and that it’s mildly unsettling at times." - Kathleen-June Horne

I just remembered I had a strange dream a while ago about some ENTJ chick I became friends with and realized that every now and then, she noted on social media that she travels internationally for work or her job. In my mind in that dream, I guess I never really made much of it but then one day, I started to think about how limited jobs/professions like that really are. I started to have all kinds of conspiracy theories about what she really does for a living but then I woke up so oh well.

Total blood washout and exchange. A valuable tool in acute hepatic coma and Reye's syndrome.
Total body washout (TBW) was accomplished thirteen times in twelve patients, with response in five and survival in three. TBW can be done without apparent harm to patients and is less laborious and more rapidly effective than repeated exchange transfusion. Early application of TBW in stage III to stage IV hepatic coma may increase survival and possibly prevent progression of metabolic derangements. Patients with stage III to IV Reye's syndrome probably should have TBW promptly, without time-consuming attempts at exchange transfusion. Based on our experience, further application of TBW is warranted in coma due to acute hepatic failure and stage III to IV Reye's syndrome. |

Whale watchers aboard Captain Dave’s Dolphin and Whale Watching Safari had an unexpected and heartbreaking encounter with a pod of bottlenose dolphins yesterday. A deceased dolphin calf was being carried by an adult bottlenose dolphin on its back.
This video sends a powerful message and it is a window into a dolphins heart. This animal is laboring under the strain of carrying the deceased calf on its back and is probably keeping it near the surface so the departed dolphin can breathe. Dolphins do not normally swim with their dorsal fins sticking out of the water continuously like this bottlenose did. This poor grieving mother dolphin takes us, without words, to a place where as one of our passengers said in the video “humans and dolphins are not so different.”
The pair were surrounded by other dolphins, almost as if they were being protected, during this profoundly sad time. The dolphin was seen an hour later by another boat still carrying the calf. |
SMRT compounds abrogate cellular phenotypes of ataxia telangiectasia in neural derivatives of patient-specific hiPSCs.
Ataxia telangiectasia is a devastating neurodegenerative disease caused primarily by loss of function mutations in ATM, a hierarchical DNA repair gene and tumour suppressor. So far, murine models of ataxia telangiectasia have failed to accurately recapitulate many aspects of the disease, most notably, the progressive cerebellar ataxia. Here we present a model of human ataxia telangiectasia using induced pluripotent stem cells, and show that small molecule read-through compounds, designed to induce read-through of mRNA around premature termination codons, restore ATM activity and improve the response to DNA damage. This platform allows for efficient screening of novel compounds, identification of target and off-target effects, and preclinical testing on relevant cell types for the pathogenic dissection and treatment of ataxia telangiectasia. |
Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) cable networks were originally built to deliver broadcast-quality TV signals to homes. The wide availability of such systems and the extremely wide bandwidth of these systems led to the extension of their functionality to include delivery of high-speed broadband data signals to end-users. Data over Cable System Interface Specifications (DOCSIS), a protocol elaborated under the leadership of Cable Television Laboratories, Inc., has been established as the major industry standard for two-way communications over HFC cable plants.
The basic elements of a DOCSIS-compliant cable network are the cable modem (CM), located on the subscriber's site, and the cable modem termination system (CMTS) and head end located in facilities operated by the cable service provider. The medium between the CMTS and the different CMs is a two-way shared medium, in which the downstream channels carry signals from the head-end to users and upstream channels carry signals from users to head-end. A CM is normally tuned to one upstream channel and the associated downstream channel. The upstream channel is an inherently shared medium in which slots are reserved using a contention system while the downstream is a broadcast dedicated link from the CMTS to the CM.
In recent years, packet-switched networks, such as the Internet, wireless communication, ADSL and CATV, have become more widespread. Packet-switched networks, such as networks based on the TCP/IP protocol suite, can distribute a rich array of digital content to a variety of client applications. It is often advantageous when distributing digital content across a packet-switched network to provide a distributed system that includes a plurality of servers dispersed throughout the distribution network, wherein the content is mirrored on the distributed servers. A more recent alternative to mirroring is content distribution networks (CDNs) that dynamically redirect content requests to an edge server situated closer to the client issuing the request.
As IP or packet-based solutions for providing content increases, the infrastructure for distributing content and services will be changing. For example, the infrastructure may need to evolve to support additional devices or different types of devices. Even for supporting set-top boxes, a different infrastructure may be used than that currently implemented.
Today, most content is maintained at a centralized backoffice server, i.e., at the corporate level rather than in the network. For example, in the cable industry there are many different systems and/or service areas that are supported. The centralized location provides broad access for all subscribers. Thus, the central server services several content delivery networks (CDNs).
The CDN serve as relay servers located in respective regions, wherein the edge servers store a content that includes favorites of users. Thereby, by accessing the edge servers without directly accessing the archive server, the users may be able to download favorite content in a relatively short time. Although the edge servers store relatively popular content, the edge servers may not match actual users' preferences, in which case the users may have to directly access the archive server. Repeated occurrence of such a situation would increase the load on the archive server, make it difficult to maintain a given service quality, and lose opportunities to provide services for customers. |

Q:
Adding class using attr() in a variable?
I ran into an error while trying to output this in my html file, the JS looks like this:
$.getJSON('products.json', function(data){
$.each(data.products, function(i, f){
var launch = "<div"
+ attr("class", "testClass")
+ ">"
+ f.buyLink
+ "</div>"
If I remove the attr, it works, however it returns me with an Uncaught Reference Error. What it does is that it takes data from a json and outputs it to a div on a html file but I can't seem to add a class to it using javascript.
Edit: It was meant to be a class in such a way that it outputs:
<div class="testClass">f.buyLink</div>
A:
You either make it as a string:
var launch = "<div"
+ ' class="'+ f.buyLink + '"')
+ ">"
+ f.buyLink
+ "</div>
Or you create the element and use the attr() attribute.
var launch = $('<div>');
launch.attr("class", f.buyLink);
// alternative, note that f.buylink then should not have a dot!!
// launch.addClass( f.buyLink );
launch.text(f.buyLink);
or shorthand:
var launch = $('<div>').attr("class", f.buyLink).text(f.buyLink);
You can't use them combined as in your code.

Q:
Standard equivalent for JAXB in Android
I am building an APP that uses XML requests and responses to communicate with a server via HTTP POST. Due to copyright restriction I cannot use SIMPLE XML to do (at least partially) what JAXB would normally do, and from all the information I have JAXB cannot be used on Android.
I did the job using XmlSerializer to build the request and XMLPullParser for parsing the response but I don`t like how the code looks like and I was not able to find any standard equivalent for JAXB in the Android SDK.
Is there any SDK component that I can use to transform the XSD schema files to Java classes and then use marshaller/unmarshaller to/from a XML file or I am stuck with using XmlSerializer/XMLPullParser?
A:
Is there any SDK component that I can use to transform the XSD schema files to Java classes
No.
I am stuck with using XmlSerializer/XMLPullParser?
You are welcome to use DOM or SAX instead of XmlPullParser, just as you can in classic Java.
There are also several XML parsing libraries for Android, beyond just SimpleXML.

Ayatollah Khamenei stresses unity among Muslim states
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has underscored the need for unity among all Muslim countries amid enemy plots to create rift in the Islamic Ummah.
Addressing a group of Iranian Hajj officials in Tehran on Tuesday, Ayatollah Khamenei described Islamic unity as “the Islamic Republic’s fundamental slogan”, which means that Muslim states should set aside enmities and stand by each other vis-à-vis important global issues.
The Leader further described Hajj pilgrimage as an opportunity that must be seized in order to foil enemy plots, which are hatched to separate Iran from the rest of the Muslim world.
“Raising a barrier between the Islamic Republic [of Iran] and the rest of the Muslim world is one of the ploys [used by] the enemies of unity in the Islamic Ummah,” the Leader stated, adding that every Muslim is obligated to make efforts to help raze this “fake barrier.”
The annual pilgrimage of Hajj brings millions of Muslims together from a variety of nationalities, races and sects.
Hajj, as one of the world’s largest gatherings, is a demonstration of the solidarity of the Muslim people and their submission to God. Hajj rituals take place during six days (8th-13th) of the Islamic lunar month of Dhul-Hijjah. |
There is a general misconception that the initial voltage defined for a utility or a swing bus generator is the initial operating voltage at the connected bus. The initial voltage is actually the internal voltage before the source impedance.
For Load Flow calculation, if the “Include Source Impedance for Utility and Swing Generator” option in the load flow study set up is checked, an internal generator impedance branch is created, one side of this branch is the source bus, the other side is the internal bus of the source, the voltage of this internal source bus will be the constant defined as this initial voltage. If this option is unchecked, the voltage of the source bus will be the constant as this initial voltage. |

The Difference Between a Contact Management System and a Customer Relationship Manager.
People often times confuse Contact Management Systems with Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Although similar, the two systems are indeed different. In simple terms, the difference lies in the amount of sales representatives an organization has. An organization that has many sales representatives targeting a single job role would normally be using a CRM. This type of an organization has a many-to-many interaction model. In contrast, an organization, which has a sales interaction model of one-to-many, would normally prefer a Contact Management System.
Why Use a Contact Management System?
A contact manager is a software program that allows users to easily store and find contact information, such as telephone numbers, addresses, and names. In other words, a CMS can help businesses overcome the challenges associated with inconsistency and information fragmentation. A contact management software package can greatly enhance the effectiveness of all types of contact interactions. It also can help in regards to: marketing operations, productivity of sales cycles, and service delivery by enabling the creation of reliable, real-time information about both current and prospective customers that, most importantly, is easy to access. Departments within the organization that deal with customers on a daily basis such as sales, marketing, customer service, help desks, etc. are able to collaborate together and coordinate cross-function activities.
How Does it Work at 5Degrees?
With a contact management system, the process of entering the contact's information, storing the contact's information, and retrieving the contact's information is fully automated and entirely consolidated. All customer-facing employees, regardless of their specific role or department, can add; update; and retrieve information through a single, centralized storage place. In sum, this means that any authorized user can more effectively keep track of information about each respective customer such as: name, phone number, company title, mailing address, email address, and other important contact data. In sum, Contact Management software can help all of the authorized workers in an organization by giving them valuable insights into prospective and current clients, so that they can provide them with a more valuable customer experience. |
Early onset of obesity induces reproductive deficits in female rats.
The incidence of obesity is increasing rapidly all over the world and results in numerous health detriments, including disruptions in reproduction. However, the mechanisms by which excess body fat interferes with reproductive functions are still not fully understood. After weaning, female rats were treated with a cafeteria diet or a chow diet (control group). Biometric and metabolic parameters were evaluated in adulthood. Reproductive parameters, including estradiol, progesterone, LH and prolactin during the proestrus afternoon, sexual behavior, ovulation rates and histological analysis of ovaries were also evaluated. Cafeteria diet was able to induce obesity in female rats by increasing body and fat pad weight, which resulted in increased levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL and induced insulin resistance. The cafeteria diet also negatively affected female reproduction by reducing the number of oocytes and preantral follicles, as well as the thickness of the follicular layer. Obese females did not show preovulatory progesterone and LH surges, though plasma estradiol and prolactin showed preovulatory surges similar to control rats. Nevertheless, sexual receptiveness was not altered by cafeteria diet. Taken together, our results suggest that the cafeteria diet administered from weaning age was able to induce obesity and reduce the reproductive capability in adult female rats, indicating that this obesity model can be used to better understand the mechanisms underlying reproductive dysfunction in obese subjects. |
Identification of a neural stem cell in the adult mammalian central nervous system.
New neurons are continuously added in specific regions of the adult mammalian central nervous system. These neurons are derived from multipotent stem cells whose identity has been enigmatic. In this work, we present evidence that ependymal cells are neural stem cells. Ependymal cells give rise to a rapidly proliferating cell type that generates neurons that migrate to the olfactory bulb. In response to spinal cord injury, ependymal cell proliferation increases dramatically to generate migratory cells that differentiate to astrocytes and participate in scar formation. These data demonstrate that ependymal cells are neural stem cells and identify a novel process in the response to central nervous system injury. |
[Correction of unstable osteosynthesis following intertrochanteric osteotomy].
When a tension-wire osteosynthesis with right angle plate after intertrochanteric osteotomy breaks down, one may achieve an undminished result and sufficient stability using the same principle -tension wiring -in another way. Improvements in the AO osteosynthesis-material might further raise the firmness of tension. |

The relevance of persisters in tuberculosis drug discovery.
Bacterial persisters are a subpopulation of cells that exhibit phenotypic resistance during exposure to a lethal dose of antibiotics. They are difficult to target and thought to contribute to the long treatment duration required for tuberculosis. Understanding the molecular and cellular biology of persisters is critical to finding new tuberculosis drugs that shorten treatment. This review focuses on mycobacterial persisters and describes the challenges they pose in tuberculosis therapy, their characteristics and formation, how persistence leads to resistance, and the current approaches being used to target persisters within mycobacterial drug discovery. |

Washington DC lawyer Victoria Toensing went on with Lou Dobbs on Monday.
Victoria discussed her whistleblower client has information on the Uranium One scandal.
Toensing’s client is an American businessman who worked for years undercover as an FBI confidential witness, according to John Solomon and Alison Spann at The Hill. The man was blocked by the Obama Justice Department from telling Congress about conversations and transactions he witnessed related to the Russian nuclear industry’s efforts to win favor with Bill and Hillary Clinton and influence Obama administration decisions, his lawyer tells The Hill.
On Monday Toensing told Dobbs her client knows what the Russians were saying during the bribery of the Clinton cabal.
Lou Dobbs: Weigh for us the impact of what he does know and what you may have learned from him. TRENDING: FBI Agent Who Uncovered Weiner Laptop with Hillary's Emails says FBI Leadership Told Him to Erase All of His Findings Victoria Toensing: …It’s quite significant. He can tell what all of the Russians were talking about during the time that the bribery payments were made.

Trump's deliberations over his running mate have already spilled out into the public sphere, as both he and surrogates have hinted at who might be on the shortlist.
Trump has repeatedly stressed that he would pick a running mate with political and government experience -- versus a businessman like himself -- whose relationships with powerful members of Congress could help him enact his agenda legislatively.
In past interviews, Trump has said he's looking at five or six candidates and that he will unveil his pick at the Republican National Convention in July. But the real estate mogul has offered only a few clues as to what kind of person he is looking for.
One of his advisers on the matter and former presidential rival, Ben Carson, appeared to spill the beans recently, telling The Washington Post that among those on the list are John Kasich, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz. Trump later said few, if any, of those were actually being considered, and Carson backed off his remarks. |

Evaluation of the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase β-subunit gene (rpoB) for phytoplasma classification and phylogeny.
Phytoplasmas are classified into 16Sr groups and subgroups and 'Candidatus Phytoplasma' species, largely or entirely based on analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences. Yet, distinctions among closely related 'Ca. Phytoplasma' species and strains based on 16S rRNA genes alone have limitations imposed by the high degree of rRNA nucleotide sequence conservation across diverse phytoplasma lineages and by the presence in a phytoplasma genome of two, sometimes sequence-heterogeneous, copies of the 16S rRNA gene. Since the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (DpRp) β-subunit gene (rpoB) exists as a single copy in the phytoplasma genome, we explored the use of rpoB for phytoplasma classification and phylogenetic analysis. We sequenced a clover phyllody (CPh) phytoplasma genetic locus containing ribosomal protein genes, a complete rpoB gene and a partial rpoC gene encoding the β'-subunit of DpRp. Primers and reaction conditions were designed for PCR-mediated amplification of rpoB gene fragments from diverse phytoplasmas. The rpoB gene sequences from phytoplasmas classified in groups 16SrI, 16SrII, 16SrIII, 16SrX and 16SrXII were subjected to sequence similarity and phylogenetic analyses. The rpoB gene sequences were more variable than 16S rRNA gene sequences, more clearly distinguishing among phytoplasma lineages. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA and rpoB gene sequences had similar topologies, and branch lengths in the rpoB tree facilitated distinctions among closely related phytoplasmas. Virtual RFLP analysis of rpoB gene sequences also improved distinctions among closely related lineages. The results indicate that the rpoB gene provides a useful additional marker for phytoplasma classification that should facilitate studies of disease aetiology and epidemiology. |
Viral vectors for gene therapy: past, present and future.
Gene delivery has been attempted in both experimental and clinical settings. These studies have shown that therapeutic gene transfer is possible, but it has not yet arrived as a practicable therapeutic intervention. This is due in large part to the inability of the vectors used to convey genetic material to a desired location in sufficient quantity and for long enough time to be effective. Current research on viral vectors for gene therapy has focused on reengineering viruses currently being tested as delivery agents, modifying the host to facilitate viral gene transfer and developing new viruses for use in gene transfer. It is too early to know which of these approaches will be effective; however, these ongoing studies are likely to make available in the future an array of gene delivery vehicles with different strengths and weaknesses. It is reasonable to expect that several of the vectors now being studied will prove useful for some therapeutic applications. |
Audit of local authorities
The Agency audits local authorities' enforcement services and provides a report that outlines areas where the authority can focus its efforts on improvements, while also celebrating good practice.
Authorities are audited against the Feed and Food Law Enforcement Standard in the Framework Agreement, which sets out the minimum standards of performance expected from local authorities across the full range of their feed and food law enforcement activities. The scheme is implemented on a UK basis, with the FSA in England, Wales and Northern Ireland each co-ordinating their own audit programme.
Local authorities are selected to represent a cross-section of local authority types, geographical location and level of enforcement activity as indicated by yearly monitoring returns.

Q:
how to make a batch file to rename a folder when I start and close a program?
How to make a batch file to rename a folder when I start a program? - Let's say I want to start my word.exe, at the same time I need to rename a folder c:\users\my profile\my word documents to be my documents and when I exist the word.exe the batch rename the folder to its original name.
--edited later--
here what I need to do
start the program
wait until the program is fully loaded
rename the folder
the program waits until I close it
when I'm about to close the program it must not close (wait) until the batch rename the folder back
close the program
A:
Just use the CALL statement to tell the batch script to wait while the program is open:
@ECHO OFF
RENAME "C:\users\my profile\my word documents" "my documents"
CALL "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\winword.exe"
RENAME "C:\users\my profile\my documents" "my word documents"
Just don't close the batch window yourself or else the folder won't be renamed back afterwards. You can minimize the likelihood of that happening by using a shortcut to run the script minimized or use VBS to run it hidden.
Update
I think this should accomplish the (nearly) equivalent task as you asked for without all of the headache. By simply keeping the intermediate copies around you should be able to achieve what you really want (which we are all still guessing at).
@ECHO OFF
SET source=C:\test
SET dest=C:\test_tmp
MKDIR "%dest%"
COPY /Y "%source%\*.*" "%dest%\"
CALL "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\winword.exe"
RMDIR /S /Q "%source%"
MKDIR "%source%"
COPY /Y "%dest%\*.*" "%source%\"
RMDIR /S /Q "%dest%"
If this isn't good enough for you then your best bet is to make a VBA script or .NET Application-Level Add-Ins for part of this because this can't really be done in BATCH alone.

Vocation
This is what happens when I attempt to write a short "flash" story. I feel sincere admiration for authors who can craft a well-formed tale in a few thousand words; I don't have that gift.
Readers should be warned this is an extremely graphic -- or graphically extreme -- story. If you have read my other stories, this one is darker. I was inspired to try my hand after reading some erotic horror anthologies, and the genre is not the one I usually practice. I've tried to attach appropriate story codes to warn off those who might be squicked, but proceed at your own risk. I sincerely hope that nobody still reading is clueless enough to think these activities are in any way condoned or legal in real life; this is fiction.
The genesis of this tale (pardon the pun) is a particularly interesting shower curtain that hangs in my bathroom. It has been repurposed, in somewhat modified form, in the story below. All other characters, places, and furnishings not incidental to the story are entirely the products of my imagination. Enjoy.

Lily inhaled deeply and held the breath, letting the clean air purge her body of stress. Releasing it, she turned and smiled at Adam. "I feel better already!"
He grinned at her exuberance. Although it was unseasonably warm, the car's heater was still working overtime to battle the cold air that was streaming in the open window and teasing his wife's dirty blonde tresses into disarray. "Worth waiting for?"
"God, yes! Two weeks alone, just the two of us!" Both of them young, and newly-employed, their honeymoon last summer had been a weekend in a local hotel. They were making up for it now, renting a cottage not too far from the beach. It was early in the season, before the spring break crush (and price increases) hit, and the weather was more than cooperating.
The cottage was enchanting, just like its picture on the web site. There were others, but nestled in among the trees and not too close, and the beach was just visible a quarter mile further down the narrow unpaved road. The managers, in the cottage next door, not so much.
"Wow," Adam commented, sotto voice, as they walked back to the car after checking in.
"Eew," you mean, Lily corrected him. She discreetly wiped her hand on her jeans. "He gives me the creeps."
Sam looked nice enough, toned and fit from working outdoors, with teeth white enough for Hollywood. He had a firm, professional handshake, but something about it hadn't felt right. And the look he'd given her! Lily was familiar with guys perving on her, but it wasn't that; Sam's dark eyes had felt like they were piercing deep inside her, stirring dusty corners of dark rooms within her soul.
"Go right on 'not noticing' -- both of them," she threatened, mostly joking.
Norma, Sam's wife -- or whatever, she didn't wear a ring -- was a slut. Her heavy-lidded eyes had undressed both of them. Norma's lacquered nails had traced Lily's palm when they'd shook hands, and lingered inappropriately long in Adam's grip. Her deep auburn hair had an alluring distressed look Lily couldn't have achieved if she'd tried, and she'd never seen somebody who could make a sundress and cardigan sweater seem suggestive -- until now. And Norma smelled like sex. Not semen, or sweat, or anything tangible, but... sex.
Lily took another breath of the clean outdoors to wipe away the taint, and shook herself. The important thing was that she and Adam could concentrate on each other. She was smiling again by the time they had the luggage out of the trunk and into the cottage.
The cottage was just as adorable on the inside. It consisted of a small front room with a fireplace that doubled as a living and eating area, a cramped but fully-equipped kitchen, and a bedroom in the back. The bedroom was nearly filled by the queen bed and a dresser, because a sizeable chunk of it had been sectioned off to provide a modern bathroom.
Since Lily was a fervent believer in the virtues of flush toilets relative to outhouses, she wasn't going to complain. Besides, they were going to be doing nothing except sleeping in the bedroom, anyway. Lily giggled. "Well, almost nothing!"
"What?" Adam asked, but was more than game when Lily pulled him onto the bed on top of her. They wriggled out of their jeans and made delicious love to each other right then and there.
Lily felt so decadent, letting Adam make love to her on top of the covers right in the middle of the day! Her orgasm felt extra intense, and she didn't push him away after he climaxed inside her, the way she usually did.
"I love you," Adam crooned, nuzzling her hair and snaking a hand beneath her flannel shirt to cup a breast.
"I love you, too," Lily sighed. She kissed Adam tenderly while extracting his hand before it could work its way under the cup of her bra. "But you came like a horse, you stud" -- the dirty language felt slightly naughty -- "and I'm going to leak all over the covers if I don't go clean up."
"Hey, it's not our comforter," Adam laughed, even as he rolled off her. "Let somebody else do the laundry; we're on vacation!"
The first defect of the cottage struck Lily once she was standing, bottomless, in the bathroom. The huge picture window doubtless provided occupants of the large whirlpool tub a fine view of the scenic woods, but the only window treatment was a gauzy sheer. There didn't seem to be much difference between standing outside or standing in the glass-lined shower stall.
There was no way she was going to take a bath and sit in water with Adam's jizz floating around in it. Lily hurried through her shower, keeping her back to the window as much as possible and trying not to think about it.
Maybe it was well water or something, but Lily didn't feel clean when she emerged, although the soap smelled pretty and left her skin silky soft.
The other thing was the wallpaper in the bedroom. Lily noticed it that night, after they'd made love again. Adam was already asleep beside her, and she was lying on her back watching the play of shadows made by the faint illumination from the fireplace in the front room.
It was a busy pattern, in deep burgundy and gold, and she hadn't paid much attention during the day, thinking it was floral or paisley or something, and that she was glad it wasn't in her house. Like an optical illusion, something suddenly flipped in Lily's brain, and the pattern became something entirely different.
Maybe it was post-coital bliss. Lily lifted herself on one elbow and craned her head, but it still looked the same. She saw, as if from above, a couple fucking. The woman lay on her back, hair arrayed about her head like a corona, and her mouth wide open as if screaming in ecstasy. Her jutting breasts protruded just above her partner's head. His looming form obscured the rest of her body, but Lily knew his penis was buried within her. The image repeated over and over, covering the walls of the room.
It was dirty, and erotic, and Lily couldn't get it out of her head once she'd imagined it. Finally she rolled on her side and stared determinedly at Adam; it took forever for her to drift off.
It was still there in the morning, but Lily decided not to mention it. After breakfast, hoping the weather would hold, they donned shorts and light jackets, and set off to explore the beach.
The world belonged to them alone. Birds called from the trees, occasional squirrels looking for last fall's nuts crossed the road ahead of them, and it was easy to believe civilization did not exist. The sun filtered through the new greenery, calling them forward to where the barely audible waves shushed on the sand.
Hand in hand, Adam and Lily paced the dwindling road, now a path, until they reached an opening in the scrub growth and stepped out on the sandy dirt. For a moment it felt like they were adventurers laying eyes on a vista no human before them had seen.
"Oh, fuck!" A throaty exclamation destroyed the fantasy.
Perhaps fifteen yards to their right, Sam was fucking Norma. They were stark naked, and Norma lay back against a conveniently shaped tree trunk that allowed Sam to stand while pounding into her so forcefully the branches above them swayed with each thrust.
Lily didn't know if she'd made a noise or if some movement alerted him, but suddenly Sam turned his head and looked straight at them. He smiled broadly, never missing a stroke, while Lily blushed furiously, paralyzed by surprise.
Then Norma was looking their way too, licking her lips in a way Lily just knew was aimed at Adam.
Before either of them could react, Sam slapped Norma across the face, hard. Lily jumped at the sound, as did Adam, but Norma just looked up at Sam and started pulling on her nipples.
Thinking as one, Lily and Adam turned and fled back down the path. "What a slut," Lily said shakily after they'd gone a few hundred yards.
"Yeah, and on a public beach," Adam agreed, sounding as upset as she was. She noticed he had an erection, though.
After taking a long walk through the woods, taking care to stay well away from the beach, they returned to the cottage for lunch. Lily was just putting out the sandwich makings when a knock at the door interrupted them.
Adam opened the door to find Sam waiting on the porch.
"Hey, folks," Sam said, sounding diffident. His eyes looked anything but, and sought out Lily. "We just wanted to apologize for this morning."
Lily moved to join Adam so she could look out the doorway. Sam was clad only in a pair of worn jeans; they had the look of a pair that had gotten that way through use. His skin had a faint tinge that suggested he was flirting with sunburn, and his package looked like he had a loaf of bread shoved down there.
Disgusted with her thoughts, Lily raised her eyes. Norma was standing at the edge of the road, wearing a string bikini so skimpy she might as well as have been still naked. As she watched, Norma shifted her weight to the other hip, making her breasts sway slightly. Slut!
Sam smiled back, but Lily had the feeling it was at her rather than with her. "I completely understand. It's just early season; we've gotten used to having the place to ourselves. That'll change soon enough, I suppose." He shook his head regretfully. "In the meantime, you folks enjoy this marvelous weather. And if there's anything Norma or I can do to make your visit more enjoyable, just stop by anytime and ask."
"That's very kind; thanks again," Adam said.
He was so clueless. Lily fumed silently, knowing exactly what was being offered. She watched Norma raise her hand and wave, making her rack sway enticingly. The battle lines were drawn, then.
"Do you think I'm sexy?" Lily asked when Adam had closed the door.
"What? Of course," he said, looking confused. Probably he was still thinking of her.
Without giving herself time to think about it, Lily unzipped Adam's shorts and pulled them down. As she'd expected, he was partially erect already. She squatted and sucked the head of his organ into her mouth, trying to hide her distaste and reminding herself that there were lots of people who did oral sex.
"Jesus, Lily, what's with you?" Adam yelped. He made a token attempt to pull away from her, but got harder almost immediately. She'd gotten to him just in time.
Lily had never asked if another girl had done this for him before they'd met. She had no experience with giving head, but apparently the novelty of the experience was sufficient for Adam. Her tongue pushed at his organ, and she bobbed up and down on the first few inches, alternately sucking and blowing on it.
She'd already decided it was too degrading to let him cum in her mouth, but Adam caught her by surprise. Lily coughed on the first burst of sperm before pulling him out and directing the remainder of his spunk onto her T-shirt above her breasts. Hopefully that would be sexy enough for him!
The scent of sperm was heavy in her nostrils when they'd finished, but it was better than that slut's perfume. Lily wiped her mouth on the back of her hand while Adam fastened his shorts back in place.
"Wow," he said. "I guess they must have really gotten you worked up, huh?"
Lily forebore to argue and point out he was the one who'd been worked up. "Whatever. What do you want on your sandwich? Roast beef?"
"Um, Sure," Adam agreed. Men would eat anything put in front of them; that was part of the problem. "Ah, are you going to change?"
She looked up from the food. His scum was pretty viscous to start with, and soaking into the cotton; it wouldn't be going anywhere. "Why? Don't you like me this way?"
"Aaaaaaah," he prevaricated, trying to work out the safe response. "It's just... not you." Adam flashed a quick smile, happy to have found a good non-answer.
"Okay," she decided. He was thinking about her instead of Norma, which was the important part, and the smell was getting almost nauseating. "I'll be right back."
In the bedroom, Lily pulled the T-shirt over her head, taking care not to get any semen in her hair. She tossed it in the bathroom to deal with later, and then pulled a clean shirt from the dresser. Lily had the shirt over her head when she paused, thinking.
A moment later, she unfastened her bra and put it away. With the shirt in place, she stepped into the bathroom and checked the material. Her breasts were good, and didn't really need the support; the fabric was dark, and nothing showed. Satisfied, Lily returned to her husband.
Several days later they were at the beach again, after having checked to see they'd have it to themselves. The weather was holding, and they were wearing swimsuits and flip-flops. Lily had a pair of shorts on over her one-piece, and Adam was carrying some towels and sunblock. It looked perfect for basking.
"The chairs!" Adam exclaimed, smacking himself lightly in the forehead. The folding camp chairs were sitting on the porch of the cottage.
Lily shook her head. "Don't worry about it, Adam. We have the towels; we can just lie out, the sand will be soft."
"I don't know how you do that," Adam disagreed. "It drives me crazy. Look, just stay here and I'll run back for them -- it'll only be five minutes."
She honestly didn't care, but obviously it meant something to him. "Oh, okay. Just don't get lost; you hear me?"
Adam grinned. "I promise." He handed over the towels, gave Lily a kiss, and jogged back up the path.
Lily looked around. The beach was deserted; even the seagulls had found somewhere else to be. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, the blue above fading into grey haze far in the distance beyond the gentle waves. Even the sand in front of her was free of tracks or debris larger than a shell.
Unwillingly, Lily found her gaze drawn to the tree on her right. It felt stupid to just stand there, and it was only a tree. Fruit of some kind, she guessed. She slowly walked over to it. The wood was gnarled and polished smooth by decades of exposure to wind and sand... and other things, apparently.
"It's more comfortable than it looks," Norma spoke up beside her, startling Lily so much that she dropped the towels and sunblock. "Oh, I didn't mean to startle you!"
"I'm fine," muttered Lily, who knelt to retrieve her belongings. She looked sideways at Norma, who was wearing her sluttish bikini; the redhead had a pair of camp chairs leaning against one long leg. "Did you see Adam?"
"No," replied Norma, who extended Lily a hand up; the blonde ignored it. "Sam told me the two of you were coming down, and I saw you'd left the chairs, so I brought them out. I came on the forest path; it's less boring than the road."
Lily smiled. "Thanks. I guess he'll be along in a few minutes, then." Norma's presence bothered her, but it was better than the alternative -- that the redhead and Adam could have been alone together.
"Can I help you with the sunblock? You gotta be careful of the sun," Norma asked, seeing the lotion.
"No!" Lily yelped, before hurriedly moderating her tone. "I put some on back at the cottage." Just the thought of Norma touching her raised goose bumps. The slut would want to rub her everywhere; her fingers would drift along the edges of Lily's suit, forcing their way along her breasts, across the curve of her ass, between her legs. She'd try to put them inside Lily, and maybe--
"Can I use some, then?"
Lily felt she needed to reestablish some civility after her outburst. "Sure." Unwillingly, she added, "It looks like you're a little late for your butt." Norma had turned around to lean the chairs against the tree, revealing angry red flesh surrounding the scrap of fabric that was pulling into her crack.
"Oh, that?" Norma laughed, and then shocked Lily by pulling the ties and slinging the bottom over a branch. "That's not sunburn. Sam tanned me something awful yesterday." She rubbed a generous amount of lotion on her buns, wiping her oily hand down her crack and between her legs before turning around.
Feeling stunned, Lily stared at the other woman's crotch. Of course, it was completely bare; she couldn't have worn the bikini otherwise. It looked a little reddened too, if nothing like her backside. Still, the way Norma casually stood there and rubbed herself was unbelievable. Lily blinked, sure she'd seen a finger disappear for a moment.
Norma pushed up her top, revealing her breasts, and Lily couldn't hold back a gasp. "Those are bite marks!"
"Oh, yeah, sometimes Sam likes it rough," the redhead sighed dreamily, massaging lotion onto herself with both hands until her nipples popped erect. She opened her eyes again and amplified, "Me, too. Here, can you hold this?" Norma held out the bottle to Lily.
Now she felt like she couldn't walk away. Instead, the blonde stood there while Norma kicked up a leg against the tree, further exposing herself, and worked both hands down the length of her leg. Did the slut have no shame? Lily wordlessly held out the bottle and watched as the process was repeated with the other leg.
The ordeal wasn't over. "Can you put some on my back?" Norma asked, turning away from Lily and pulling her hair forward over one shoulder. Her skin was decorated with several long marks that might have come from fingernails. "Please?" she repeated, when she sensed Lily was hesitating.
Heaving a heavy sigh, Lily squirted some sunblock into her palm and gingerly started smoothing it across Norma's back.
"I'm not going to break, you know."
Stung, Lily rubbed harder. Trying not to think about Sam hitting Norma. About the skin she was touching, covered with sweat, shifting against sheets as Norma pulled her legs wider, sluttishly offering herself to Sam -- or whomever stood over her. She froze.
"Thanks," Norma said, oblivious to her thoughts. "Are you like that in bed, too? A little china doll? 'Eek eek eek.'" She giggled. "Lily, trust me on this; men are animals -- they like it more forceful once in a while." Before Lily could process the insult, the other woman reached around and whacked her on the ass.
"How dare you!" Lily snapped, and then slapped Norma across the face. The impact of her oily hand sounded like a branch breaking, making her think she'd gone too far. She trembled, wanting to run but afraid to turn her back to her opponent.
"Like that," Norma agreed, running her tongue over her lips to taste for blood and then smiling. "And don't try to tell me you didn't like it," she smirked, eyes dropping to Lily's chest. |

Modulation of small GTPase activity by NME proteins.
NME proteins are reported to influence signal transduction activity of small GTPases from the Ras superfamily by diverse mechanisms in addition to their generic NDP kinase activity, which replenishes the cytoplasmic pool of GTP. Comprehensive evidence shows that NME proteins modulate the activity of Ras GTPases, in particular members of the Rho family, via binding to their major activators GEFs. Direct interaction between several NMEs and Ras GTPases were also indicated in vitro and in vivo. These modes of regulation are mainly independent of the NME's kinase activity. NMEs also modulate the Ras-mediated signal transduction by interfering with the formation of a Ras signaling complex at the plasma membrane. In several examples, NMEs were proposed to perform the role of GAP proteins by promoting hydrolysis of the bound GTP, but this activity still requires additional verification. Early suggestions that NMEs can activate small GTPases by direct phosphorylation of the bound GDP, or by high-rate loading of GTP onto a closely apposed GTPase, were largely dismissed. In this review article, we survey and put into perspective published examples of identified and hypothetical mechanisms of Ras signaling modulation by NME proteins. We also point out involvement of NMEs in the transcriptional regulation of components of Ras GTPases-mediated signal transduction pathways, and reciprocal regulation of NME function by small GTPases, particularly related to NME's binding to membranes. |

Why babies should never sleep alone: a review of the co-sleeping controversy in relation to SIDS, bedsharing and breast feeding.
There has been much controversy over whether infants should co-sleep or bedshare with an adult caregiver and over whether such practises increase the risk of SIDS or fatal accident. However, despite opposition from medical authorities or the police, many western parents are increasingly adopting night-time infant caregiving patterns that include some co-sleeping, especially by those mothers who choose to breast feed. This review will show that the relationships between infant sleep patterns, infant sleeping arrangements and development both in the short and long term, whether having positive or negative outcomes, is anything but simple and the traditional habit of labelling one sleeping arrangement as being superior to another without an awareness of family, social and ethnic context is not only wrong but possibly harmful. We will show that there are many good reasons to insist that the definitions of different types of co-sleeping and bedsharing be recognised and distinguished. We will examine the conceptual issues related to the biological functions of mother-infant co-sleeping, bedsharing and what relationship each has to SIDS. At very least, we hope that the studies and data described in this paper, which show that co-sleeping at least in the form of roomsharing especially with an actively breast feeding mother saves lives, is a powerful reason why the simplistic, scientifically inaccurate and misleading statement 'never sleep with your baby' needs to be rescinded, wherever and whenever it is published. |

Q:
What is oob in func (*UDPConn) ReadMsgUDP?
This link has information about OOB in TCP.
With out-of-band data we want the byte-stream service layer on the
sending side to send this data before any other data that it has
buffered. Similarly we want the receiving end to pass this data to its
user process ahead of any data that it might have buffered.
But what about UDP?
In golang, the ReadMsgUDP function requires an oob byte slice.
func (c *UDPConn) ReadMsgUDP(b, oob []byte) (n, oobn, flags int, addr *UDPAddr, err error)
What is the oob for? Are there any use cases in open source code? Or should I use PacketConn instead of UDPConn?
A:
Well, as I tried, when you want other infomation(such as pktinfo) to get local address with setting syscall.setsockoption, you will need it. This happens when you don't want connection-oriented UDP.

Q:
Does Mia mistake Vincent's heroin for cocaine because it's in a baggie rather than a balloon?
In Pulp Fiction, when Vincent buys heroin from Lance, he informs Vincent that he only has baggies to hold his heroin:
I'm outta balloons. Is a baggie all right?
Later, Mia mistakes the heroin for cocaine and immediately over doses.
We see Mia use cocaine in two separate scenes and it is implied that she is a regular user due to the ease and familiarity that she cuts and snorts it...as if she does it all of the time.
How could a regular cocaine user such as Mia not know that she wasn't snorting cocaine?
I am assuming that heroin is normally stored in balloons due to Lance's earlier dialogue. Mia looked quite excited when she saw the baggie and had no reservations about snorting it.
Did Mia just assume that it was cocaine due to the fact that it was in a baggie rather than a balloon?
A:
Yes, what Vince buys is absolutely heroin. Yes, Mia absolutely believes what Vince has is cocaine.
But wait. Do they really look the same? I thought heroin was brown (as in, "Mr. Brownstone", the Guns And Roses classic), and coke was white?
Well, low-grade heroin (from the Middle East) is brown. It'as ideal for smoking because it's not very soluble and burns at a lower temperature.
High-grade heroin (from the Far East) is white. Much more pure. Ideal for injecting or snorting. Yes, you can snort heroin. In small amounts.
Vince, if you recall, asked for the high-grade stuff. Unless you have specific tools at your disposal (like a microscope or a burner), it's very difficult to tell high-grade heroin and cocaine apart. So, usually, you put heroin in a balloon and coke in a bag. Most drug users will know the distinction. However, if it's not your stash it's always best to ask or do a small taste test, because they have distinctive tastes. Mia, likely, just saw the bag and assumed it was coke.
A:
It seems so.
The script indicates that she thinks it's cocaine...
But wait, her fingers touch something else. Those fingers bring out a plastic bag with white powder inside, the madman that Vincent bought earlier from Lance. Wearing a big smile, Mia brings the bag of heroin up to her face.
MIA:
Disco! Vince, you little cola nut, you've been holding out on me.
Mia has the unbeknownst-to-her heroin cut up into big lines on her glass top coffee table. Taking her trusty hundred dollar bill like a human Dust-Buster, she quickly snorts the fat line.
CLOSEUP – MIA
Her head JERKS back. Her hands go to her nose (which feels like it's on fucking fire), something is terribly wrong.
Then... the rush hits...
How could a regular cocaine user such as Mia not know that she wasn't snorting cocaine?
Obviously, this is somewhat opinion based but if you see something that looks like what you're expecting, familiarity/confirmation bias would lead to you ignore any possible misidentification issues.
We tend to see what we want to see!

"There is this idea that one needs to re-locate in order to decentralize. Moving away into open land, away from urban areas, away from the civil perimeters of town and community; this can be advantageous but also be isolating and misleading." Essay by Carlos Cuellar Brown, a New York City artist and essayist.
Finance should be a tool at the service of the economy. It should be the ‘money market’ where supply and demand for money meet. A significant portion of the financial system however has transformed from being a tool, to being an end in itself: to make money from money in the shortest possible time, losing sight of its social purpose.
For two decades, the world seemed to be convinced that all indicators pointed in the same direction: more democracy, more economic openness, more human rights, more international cooperation. Not anymore. |

Q:
Windows system files not where they should be
I have discovered that some important Windows system files are not where they should be, and I'd like to know if I can move them.
My system runs (I thought) from my D: drive, which has the usual \WINDOWS directory. However, ntldr resides on my C: drive, which otherwise contains only data (photos, music, etc). msdos.sys and boot.ini reside on C: too.
This is a big surprise to me, and not a welcome one. I suppose it has to do with the fact that I installed Windows (some time ago now) to D: while I had my C: drive attached; and maybe Windows can't cope with that unconventional set-up.
Is there anything that I can do about this, short of re-installing Windows? I am praying that a re-installation of Windows is not the only solution; it would take me days to return my computer to normal operating status.
A:
A reinstall is not the only solution, but it would be the fastest and cause you the least problems. Windows is used to having the C: drive as the main partition holding the Operating System files. Some applications likely have this hardcoded, hence the appearance of files like ntldr in the root of C: when its running from D:. A big problem you will run into is that all of your software is now installed and configured to use D:. If you move everything over, there will likely be a ton of programs that will break since they cannot find configuration folders and files. If you want to save your data, I suggest using the Files & Settings transfer Wizard or Windows Easy Transfer (depending on your current version of Windows). Make backups before doing anything drastic though.

Single-Born Sibling to Twins: An Unfair Competition?
Last week I ran into my youngest son’s high-school drama teacher. After a few moments of polite chit-chat, I commented on my son’s first-semester grade. “What a stinker!” I laughed. “He got a ‘B’ when he was perfectly capable of getting an ‘A.'”
The teacher agreed that my son hadn’t tried his best in his class, “But look who’s he’s up against?” he added. “The Great Gatsby and Mr. Personality. That’s not easy.”
He was referring to my youngest son’s brothers—fraternal twins who are two years his senior. The Great Gatsby or ‘Twin A:’ meticulously groomed with slicked back hair. Confident yet somewhat aloof. Student body vice-president. Honor student. And ‘Twin B:’ liked by everyone, both teachers and students, and a bit of a class clown. Leader of the high-school mentoring program. Honor student.
That IS a tough act to follow.
I’ve written several blog posts on the plight of the single-born sibling to twins. (You can read them here and here.) But I keep coming back to the subject because I don’t want to forget my youngest son’s challenges or ignore his special circumstances especially now when all the attention is once again placed on my twins as they apply to colleges and prepare to graduate high school. Frankly, my youngest sometimes gets lost in the shuffle, and it’s not until I get a reality check (i.e. running into his teacher) that I stop and once again take notice.
Part of the problem (if we can call it that) is that the youngest child has always traditionally dwelled in the shadow of his older siblings. In other words, it’s not just a “twin thing;” it’s a birth-order thing. But—and this is a big BUT—younger singletons to twins have the added component of competing with their older twins’ relationship. It’s that twin dyad that can be very tough for some singletons to successfully infiltrate. It can be especially difficult when the singleton’s older siblings are identical twins as their relationship is usually more tightly bonded than fraternal twins.
Just the other day, for instance, a reader posted a wonderfully insightful comment on my blog post, The Younger Singleton to Twins: Rough Road Ahead? “Amanda” is two-and-a-half years younger than her identical twin brothers. Although she cares deeply for her brothers, she’s also acutely aware that their intratwin relationship supersedes her relationship with either of them. “I understand that no matter what, my siblings will always be closer to each other than they are to me,” she wrote.
She goes on to recount her early life where everyone’s attention seemed to be solely focused on “the twins.” At holiday dinners, for instance, relatives would sit around the table debating her twin brothers’ differences. Her parents had the ubiquitous ‘twins make life twice as nice’ license plate holder. Even their computer passwords always had the word ‘twin’ included. It’s no wonder she felt the need to compete with her brothers. “I remember spending a great deal of my childhood trying very hard to outperform [my brothers], always feeling like they had a head start on being special,” she added.
So what’s the take-away from all this?
I want to remind you (and myself) to take time to truly tune in to your singletons. Be aware and stay alert to their feelings, especially in how he/she/they relate/s to his/her/their older twin siblings. And perhaps we shouldn’t place so much emphasis on having twins. (Maybe we should go ahead and toss that twins license plate holder in the trash.) In the end, twins are just kids after all! And all kids are special, regardless if they are born alone or in pairs. Finally, encourage one-on-one interactions between your singleton and his twin siblings. Someday your singleton will thank you for it. |

Javascript - Replace all with regex
I want to replace some spaces between some parenthesis with regex. If I use regex only replace some spaces (only unique pairs).
The string may be have others spaces, but I want only the spaces between paranthesis.
var mystring = ") ) ) ) ) )";
console.log(mystring);
mystring = mystring.replace(/\)\s\)/g, "))");
console.log(mystring);
Output is:
) ) ) ) ) )
)) )) ))
But I want to have this output:
) ) ) ) ) )
))))))
A:
The problem is that by consuming the ) ), you no longer have the leading ) when looking at the next part of the string.
Instead of replacing both ), use a positive lookahead assertion to replace only the first and the spaces after it if they're followed by another ):
mystring = mystring.replace(/\)\s(?=\))/g, ")");
// Lookahead ---^^^^^^ ^--- only one ) in replacement
Live Example:
var mystring = ") ) ) ) ) )";

mystring = mystring.replace(/\)\s(?=\))/g, ")");

Q:
How should I deal my worker who is stealing my beauty products?
I own a beauty salon and I have three workers who has been working for me for the last six years.However, one of them recently started stealing my beauty products from my salon.
Maybe she thought that I am unaware of her activity but a few days ago I checked my salon's camera footage and I found her stealing some of my beauty products.
She helped me whenever she found me in trouble. She also respects me a lot. Now I am in confusion as to what I should do now.
Should I tell her that I know all about her activity and terminate her from her job, or should I help her financially or fulfill her need so that she stops stealing my beauty products.
A:
If she's a valued employee, then give her a warning. You can't pretend it never happened. Just say you saw her on camera taking product, you'll cut her slack because you think of her as a friend, but friends don't steal from each other, don't do it again or you'll have to fire her.
This sometimes works, but keep your eyes open, sometimes once they get caught they go off the rails. I've seen a manager with a decade in a position try and burgle the shop after getting a warning.
should I help her financially
No, not on a personal level, that turns you into a crutch and you don't owe her that.
A method I use which works well for workers experiencing temporary financial strain is I will advance them half their pay no questions asked if they want it before payday. And deduct it on the day.

Q:
Box2d - Dynamic Sensors?
so I have this dynamic body, that I just want to know when an object collides with it, but even if this object collides with it, the dynamic body will always move at the same time and will only affect by gravity and the floor.
I tried kinmestic bodies and sensor, but it's not affected by gravity. I can add gravity but how can I add also that it will collide with the floor and stop?
I don't care what, but I most find a solution for that. Thanks.
A:
There is no need for sensor in your case. You have to implement the b2ContactListener. Here is the manual how to do it: http://www.box2d.org/manual.html

Surrender prevention
Need to Surrender or Rehome a Rabbit?
We are contacted daily by people who have either found a rabbit or who seek to surrender their rabbit.
We do our best to assist anyone with a rabbit situation, seeking the best solution and providing resources to help. Please include your phone number in your message and we will contact you ASAP! Our emails are checked frequently throughout the day.
Although we do not always have the space, staff or financial resources to take in every unwanted rabbit, we will do our best to help you and the rabbit.
What else can you do?
You can network with friends, family, co-workers, members in your social circle (such as your church) to see if anyone would be interested.
You can contact other no-kill shelters in your area.
You can foster the rabbit until it is re-homed by a rescue.
Things NOT to do:
Do NOT release the bunny in the wild. Domestic rabbits have no survival skills. They usually die from starvation, thirst, cars and predators. Frequently, they will die within hours of release.
Do NOT post on Craigslist. People looking for a cheap/free meal for their snakes will frequently check out Craigslist. Also people known to abuse and torture animals will look for easy targets as well.
Do NOT dump your bunny at our shelter, your neighbor’s front door, pet store, etc. This is illegal in most cities and you will be prosecuted. |
Q:
IIS multiple sites on same ip with different ssl
I cant seem to run multiple sites using the same IP with different ports and different ssl cert.
site a is fine but site b is returning SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN because it's returning site a's ssl cert.
This is the error I get when trying to use it on the same ports hence I use different ports for the domains
A:
Here are my thoughts:
First of all SSL certificates are most commonly issued against domain names instead of IP addresses.
In your scenario you have one IP address so only one certificate can be issued against one IP address.
Options:
Get multiple SSL certificates for your website domains assuming your websites will be hosted on different domains e.g. example1.com, example2.com
Get wild card ssl certificate and then use it for your multiple websites assuming your websites will be hosted on sub-domains e.g. site1.example.com, site2.example.com

Q:
Cannot edit Top Navigation menu (not listed in Categories section)
I have been asked to look after and do some work on this site:
http://tapesonline.co.nz/
It's mostly straightforward so far except:
I cannot find where to edit the top navigation menu.
The existing top menu pages are NOT listed in the 'Manage Categories' section of the admin panel, so I'm not sure where to change them in the
navigation menu.
I need to edit the Contact content page but it is not listed in the pages section.
I have searched google to no avail.
Please steer me in the correct direction.
Any help appreciated!
Thank you!
A:
That topmenu doesn't appear to use Magento's renderer at first glance. It looks more like a static html template, probably located somewhere in app/design/frontend/yourpackage/yourtheme/template/page (wild guess) or somewhere similar.
Grep for unique identifiers (i.e. class/content) that might live in a template/block - you should find it pretty easily that way. Alternatively/additionally you can enable template path and block hints as outlined here

In many technical fields, resources are shared by more than one units or devices. To give some examples, in a master slave configuration a plurality of masters may share a common slave, a plurality of units may share a common bus, a plurality of processors may share a common memory or pieces of information such as data packets may be transferred over a common data channel. When more than one unit requests to get access to the shared resource at the same time, a conflict exists between the units requesting access since at a given time only one of the units can get access while the other has to be prevented from accessing.
To address this problem, arbitration is used. Arbitration is a process, where a unit is given priority over another unit (or a plurality of other units). Many arbitration techniques with different degrees of fairness for the requesters and different degrees of complexity are known. Arbitration may take for example into account the number of previous requests by a given unit or the identity of the unit (i.e. the identity of the port. Furthermore, fair arbitration techniques may take into consideration that requesters are handled fair and one requester is for example not blocked by another requester. Fair arbitration techniques include for example round robin arbitration (RR), weighted round robin (WRR) or deficit round robin (DRR). |
Q:
What are the dangers of not gracefully shutting down mysql server
What are the dangers of not shutting down a windows MySql server gracefully (i.e. hitting the reset switch on the server as apposed to shutting the OS down) ?
A:
It's possible that a transaction may be partially committed leading to unresolvable corruption on reboot. This is especially the case if you use MyISAM tables - InnoDB tables have a double write buffer which is a form of Write Ahead Log (WAL).
A good discussion of the concepts is available here and here. Note that from the Percona article we have "the changes made by transactions will occur in volatile memory and later be flushed to disk". Switch off the machine and your RAM evaporates.
Note that despite these elaborate precautions and systems, many questions here concern MySQL corruption (even with InnoDB engine tables) which shows that no system is perfect. The "horse's mouth" guide to InnoDB (i.e. Oracle/MySQL's own technical article on the issue) is available here.
This corruption can lead to the need for a restore from backup which means that data changed/inserted between then and the power interruption is lost. It's not a good idea on production servers and is the reason that we have UPSs (Uninterruptable Power Supply) on them.

Biochemical, pathological, and skeletal improvement of mucopolysaccharidosis VI after gene transfer to liver but not to muscle.
Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI) is caused by deficient activity of arylsulfatase B (ARSB), resulting in intralysosomal storage of dermatan sulfate (DS) and multisystem disease without central nervous system involvement. After gene transfer, muscle or liver can theoretically be converted into factories for systemic ARSB secretion, leading to uptake by non-transduced cells. We have injected newborn MPS VI rats and cats with adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors expressing ARSB under the control of liver-specific, muscle-specific, or universally active promoters. After systemic or intramuscular (IM) administration of AAV, therapeutic levels of circulating ARSB are achieved, resulting in skeletal improvements and significant decrease in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) storage, inflammation and apoptosis (despite a neutralizing immune response to ARSB in MPS VI rats). In addition, we have observed wide-spread dissemination of vector after IM AAV administration. This results in secretion of therapeutic levels of ARSB when the universally active cytomegalovirus (CMV) but not the muscle-specific muscle creatine kinase (MCK) promoter is used, suggesting that transduction of extramuscular sites rather than enzyme secretion from muscle occurs after muscle ARSB gene transfer. We conclude that AAV-mediated expression of ARSB from liver represents a feasible therapeutic strategy for MPS VI, potentially avoiding multiple infusions of costly recombinant enzyme associated with enzyme replacement therapy. |
All it’s cracked up to be?
It has been a little over a year since the White House launched it’s “We the People” website to encourage online engagement in national issues. Has it worked? In the Washington Post, David Nakamura looks at how the platform has been used so far and answers “not really”:
The people have spoken, but it might not be what the Obama administration expected to hear. More than a year after it was launched, an ambitious White House online petition program aimed at encouraging civic participation has become cluttered with thousands of demands that are often little more than extended Internet jokes. Interest has escalated in the wake of Obama’s reelection, which spurred more than a dozen efforts from tens of thousands of petitioners seeking permission for their states to secede from the union. |
Q:
JS Object destructuring a required library line of code?
I am getting an es linting error for this line of code below, saying I need to use object destructuring.
const myTest = require('chai').myTest;
How do I do this for requiring a library?
A:
Just put the library expression on the right-hand side of the assignment operator, destructuring a require call is no different from destructuring any object:
const { myTest } = require('chai');

Clean Technology. Made Simple.
It saddens me when I hear people, not involved in the utility industry, talk about demand response (DR) as an inconvenience to customers. It frustrates me when people within the utility industry tell the same story and claim DR will deliver no value.
I believe it’s time for a national education program to create a more informed energy consumer. We need a campaign that cuts through the complexity and negative spin that many in our industry create.
A well designed and executed demand response program works. It will result in helping to deliver a reliable supply of energy at reduced rates and with lower impact on the environment as compared to just building more capacity. If we educate customers as to why this is important and what’s in it for them, they will come on board. If we make it clear they have the choice to opt-in, or opt-out, you kill any concerns that they feel they are giving up control. Hundreds of programs around the world show it works. You don’t even have to look that far, our friends in Queensland have been successfully running demand response for years with consumer’s air conditioners.
We need to move away from creating unnecessary fear and uncertainty in the community, just because it is something we don’t understand or don’t believe in. I respect some consumers will have no interest in changing their energy usage for a few hours a year in return for a small financial reward. However, many will jump at the opportunity.
With the right awareness, people will soon realise that they will be rewarded with positive experiences. I have seen examples where people bring the family together during demand response events and turn off the Air Conditioners in all other rooms in the house. They pop out for dinner with the family, or they go and visit friends. Demand Response is not about making yourself uncomfortable. It’s about making some smart decisions to be flexible when you consume energy, even for just a few hours a year. In return, you get an immediate financial reward, and longer term you are helping place downward pressure on rates.
Let’s credit people’s intelligence. If they understood why demand response is important, and we helped give them examples of how they can help, they would jump on board.
Is it time for a national education program for consumers to understand the value of Flexible Energy and let them make the choice for themselves?

When you think about all of those annoyingly cute stock photos of couples or families having playful, sudsy spats as they do dishes over the kitchen sink, consider that the kitchen sponge is one of the hottest hangouts for germs in your kitchen. (Someone please pass that model a disinfecting wipe!) To reduce your sponge’s ick factor, get in the habit of giving it a quick daily cleaning by rinsing it in hot soapy water, running it through the microwave for a minute and/or tossing it in the dishwasher. And when it gets stinky, it’s time to trade up. So get ready - the fun, foamy fights can begin at any moment. |
Incorporating diagnosis and treatment of hyperhidrosis into clinical practice.
Proper billing and coding are essential to document the diagnosis of hyperhidrosis and to assure proper reimbursement for treatment. Providers should become familiar with the payment policies of local health plans to streamline the preauthorization process that is often needed for many treatments commonly used for hyperhidrosis. Having a preprinted letter of medical necessity and patient intake forms that record the necessary historical information about the disease, previous treatments, and other pertinent information will help increase the speed of the office flow. This article presents algorithms for treatment of the various forms of primary focal hyperhidrosis. |

Armed and dangerous: Toxoplasma gondii uses an arsenal of secretory proteins to infect host cells.
Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that infects a wide variety of warm-blooded animals and humans, in which it causes opportunistic disease. As an obligate intracellular parasite, T. gondii must invade a host cell to survive and replicate during infection. Recent studies suggest that T. gondii secretes a variety of proteins that appear to function during invasion or intracellular replication. These proteins originate from three distinct regulated secretory organelles called micronemes, rhoptries and dense granules. By discharging the contents of its secretory organelles at precise steps in invasion, T. gondii appears to timely deploy secretory proteins to their correct target destinations. Based on the timing of secretion and the characteristics of secretory proteins, an emerging theme is that T. gondii compartmentalizes its secretory proteins according to general function. Thus, it appears that micronemal proteins may function during parasite attachment to host cells, rhoptry proteins may facilitate parasite vacuole formation and host organellar association, and dense granule proteins likely promote intracellular replication, possibly by transporting and processing nutrients from the host cell. However, as more T. gondii secretory proteins are identified and characterized, it is likely that additional functions will be ascribed to each class of proteins secreted- by this fascinating invasive parasite. |
Control over Mumbai should lie with Maharashtra Government: Sena
Mumbai: Cautioning Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis over his suggestion of a high-level committee for Mumbai's development, the Shiv Sena on Tuesday said the control over the city should lie with the state government.
"There is no doubt that Mumbai should develop, but we have to ensure that the remedy does not turn out to be more dangerous than the illness itself. The Shiv Sena believes that Mumbai will not be separated from Maharashtra and the control of the city will only lie with the state government," the Shiv Sena, which recently joined the BJP-led state government, said in an editorial in its mouthpiece 'Saamana'.
"If the PM only gives special attention to Mumbai, he will be accused of favouritism. Opposition parties will get the ammunition to fire salvo at the government saying that big industrialists are close to the BJP, hence the PM is giving special attention to the city," it said.
The Sena said other cities of the state, like Mumbai, should also be made into world class cities and the focus should not be on Mumbai alone. "Nagpur is the second capital of Maharashtra. The Vidarbha region is in dire need of development and industrial growth. Even cities in the Marathwada region can be developed into world class cities. All this will contribute to the development of the state," the editorial said.
While addressing a high-level meeting of chief ministers recently convened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide a substitute for the planning commission, Fadnavis had suggested to the Centre that a high-level committee headed by Modi be set up for the development of the city.
"Mumbai is the commercial capital of India, unless Mumbai is developed, there is no scope for the development of the country. For Mumbai's development, there is an urgent need of effective coordination between state and central agencies. Under such circumstances, it will be appropriate to set up a Mumbai development committee headed by the PM," Fadnavis had said. |
It can be desirable to incorporate nitrogen into silicon-oxide-containing layers during formation of semiconductor devices. For instance, it can be desirable to incorporate nitrogen into gate oxides (which typically are silicon dioxide) to reduce dopant penetration through the oxides. Methods have been developed wherein nitrogen is incorporated into a gate oxide during deposition of the gate oxide by including nitrogen species amongst the deposited materials. It can, however, be difficult to control nitrogen location within silicon-oxide-containing layers formed by such techniques. Accordingly, it would be desirable to develop alternative techniques for incorporating nitrogen into silicon-oxide-containing layers. |

Chloramphenicol: magic bullet or double-edge sword?
The genetic and genotoxic potentials of chloramphenicol are reviewed and analyzed. Although this widely used antimicrobial agent appears to cause chromosomal effects in somatic cells, in view of the consistent absence of other genetic effects, these cytogenetic abnormalities are ascribed to non-genotoxic causes. It is pointed out that despite its widespread use in human medicine, chloramphenicol has not been systematically tested for genotoxicity. |
Q:
Working with MySql database in C#/ Visual Studio
Hello, I'm currently working on a project which contains a part in which you have to simply import data from database in different ways. My database is hosted on a local MySql server under localhost.
I want to know the most flexible and easy way to execute queries on my MySql database (of course in C# code). I've tried using string interpolation ($"" syntax) for modifying text of the query but I think it is not the best way to do this.
(its getting very complicated when you want to apply some more complex query)
A:
cmd = new MySqlCommand("SELECT * FROM admin WHERE admin_username=@val1 AND admin_password=@val2", MySqlConn.conn);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@val1", "admin");
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@val2", "pass");
cmd.Prepare();
MySqlDataReader res = cmd.ExecuteReader();

Currently automotive vehicles are provided with an audio system having a signal processor configured to provide a predetermined audio signal. The audio signal is determined by the vehicle setting and the destination of the vehicle. In particular, the audio signal may be configured to account for vehicle settings (to include the various vehicle interior components) and the destination of the vehicle so as to provide a desired audio output.
It should be appreciated that materials may affect the audio output. Accordingly, the audio signal is tuned to account for the different interior components so as to generate a predetermined and desired audio output. Thus, manufacturers provide a plurality of different audio systems each of which is configured for a specific vehicle type and the destination of the vehicle type which may result in numerous different audio systems.
Accordingly, it remains desirable to have an audio system configured to be used in multiple vehicles arriving at multiple destinations so as to reduce the number of signal processors available to choose from thereby streamlining the manufacturing process and reducing cost. |

Removing const-ness from a type inside template function
void foo (void *p); // library function; can't edit
template<typename T>
void Remove (T *p)
{
// main code
foo(p); // Can we remove const ness of T here ?
}
I have multiple functions like Remove(), it can be called with const T* also, which will not match with foo(void*). Without overloading/specializing Remove() can I remove the constness of T*? ... Usage:
const int *p;
Remove(p); // error related to `foo()`
A:
If you really need it, there's a boost/C++0x metafunction for that:
template<typename T>

Shift Your Language.
Do you find yourself saying “I’m sorry,” all the time? For things that do not require an apology? You are not alone. Many of us have done this, and catch ourselves doing it so frequently that even we are wondering, “Why am I saying that?”
When we say this, and an apology is not needed we are feeding into an idea that we need outside validation of our existence. WE create an unequal power dynamic that assumes our inferiority. Then when we find ourselves in relationships with people who treat us as “less than,” we become confused.
We may need to “fake it, ’til we make it” in this instance, and starting acting as if we are worthy until we actually feel that truth in our bodies.
One way we can shift out of saying “I’m sorry” is by switching to “Thank you.”
Instead of saying, “I’m sorry I’m late, I had a family emergency,” we say, “Thank you for being so patient today. I was late because I had a family emergency.”
In the second sentence we are not looking for the other person to accept us, nor are we acting subordinate, instead we are assuming their graciousness and our equality. |
Q:
Why is There A Need to Separate "Edit"(update) and "Add"(insert) actions in most CMS?
the CMS our chief coder designed has the update/insert actions handled by one controller. Most of the CMS's I see has separate handlers for update and insert. Why are most CMS's designed this way? Even the REST pattern has separate actions for update and insert (I don't know what they're exactly called though).
A:
Probably because it's two of the four basic CRUD operations found in user interfaces. It's more intuitive, easier and safer to perform a single "Edit" operation on data than performing a "Remove" operation then an "Add" operation.
