One of the things you figure out pretty quickly if you pay attention to what students say is that a lot of them engage with the materials we show them in a very concrete way. One example of that from today’s draft intro paragraph peer review session in World History was the student who kept trying to turn prompts on reconceptualizing its paragraph into a recipe for which words to say and how to arrange them. “What have you figured out about how conditions of trade changed?” became “How many times do I need to repeat the assignment topic phrase ‘conditions of work’?”
Lots of information in a pile, no analysis. A peer shrewdly asked if there were any people involved. So we got ‘Portuguese’ on the board. Then we talked about what kind of work. Trade, as it turned out. So we added ‘trading community’ to Portuguese. Another peer asked if the issue was storms at sea or political conflict. So ‘community’ got complicated to include seamen and kings, we added ‘conflict’, and broke out ‘political’, ‘economic’, and ‘social’. Was any of that sorted out in the draft paragraph? No, so it’s not about adding or moving a word or two, it’s about figuring out what you want to get at based on what you know. At the end the student came up and took a cellphone picture of the board.
Yesterday in the ‘bad literature’ seminar the group presenting on the religious erotica genre (their choice) were struggling with audience. It turned out they assumed that the people who read things are the people those things are about. So the audience for shocking erotica about monks boinking transvestite novices must be young Catholics considering the monastic life. I asked if the audience for Huckleberry Finn was orphans and runaway slaves, and whether they would respect me as a professor if the only books I read were about aging white male professors at nice little regional universities. They had brought up and passed over quickly points about authority and credit/discredit, so I prompted them to get a little more stubborn about developing those analyses. It didn’t take long to work out that an audience of non-Catholics might have reasons to be interested in literature discrediting Catholic authority.
Another fascinating assertion in that discussion was that because all fiction is based on fact, it might as well be treated as such. So the facts about a novel’s rhetoric and context can be read right off of the text. As a fan of science fiction I was tempted to ask about the factiness of phasers, warp drives, and Wookies, but time was running short so we deferred examination of creativity and imagination to our next meeting.
Incidentally, it has occurred to me that part of the problem with the concept of linked learning is that we can see courses, but we can’t see links. We can’t see learning, either, so it’s all very confusing. |

NEW DELHI: The Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) on Thursday shot a letter to CoA chief Vinod Rai , expressing "pain" at the perception that appointments of Rahul Dravid and Zaheer Khan were forced upon head coach Ravi Shastri The Committee of Administrator (CoA) has reportedly given the impression that CAC has gone beyond its brief in appointing Dravid and Zaheer as consultants when they were to select only the head coach."We spoke to Mr Shastri about getting Mr Khan and Mr Dravid on board in these capacities, and he readily agreed to the idea of having them in the set-up so that it would benefit the team and Indian cricket as a whole in time to come. It was only after getting Mr Shastri's consent that we also recommended Mr Khan and Mr Dravid, in their respective capacities," the letter, a copy of which is with PTI, read.The legendary trio reminded Rai of an e-mail where he had apparently given them a free-hand in picking the coach of the Indian cricket team."There have been suggestions that the CAC has exceeded its ambit in going with MR Khan and Mr Dravid and these two legends of Indian cricket has been foisted on the head coach. Also we did inform you (Rai) over the phone along with Rahul Johri and Amitabh Choudhary of all that transpired immediately after the meeting was over."In the beginning of the letter the CAC expressed its anguish."You will be aware that we put our heart and soul into the process, approaching a task made delicate by the recent developments with a clear head and with soul aim of providing Indian team with best resources possible to become world beaters they are capable of being."It has both pained and disappointed us, therefore, to see the light in which the CAC has been portrayed in various sections of the media," the letter read.That the legends were deeply hurt was palpable where they urged Rai to "come public" with transparency of the system."It is our desire that you come public about the transparency of the process of identifying the next head coach so that the falsehoods are put to bed."Their anger and disgust came out while concluding the letter."As we have outlined, that (forcing Zaheer and Dravid on Shastri) is not the case, it is imperative that the cricket- loving public at large is made aware of the reality. We could do it ourselves, of course, but we don't want to further queer the pitch. So we would respectfully request you to clear the air and set the record straight in this regard," the penultimate paragraph read.They concluded with another strongly worded paragraph."The three of us played our cricket with great integrity, and we have brought that same trait in fulfilling this important responsibility bestowed upon us by the BCCI . While we are not looking for plaudits, we do not appreciate the tone and the falsehoods of the narratives." |

Britain has not formally assessed impact of Brexit on economy: minister
Britain has not conducted a formal sector-by-sector analysis of the impact that leaving the European Union will have on the economy, Brexit minister David Davis said on Wednesday, arguing they were not necessary at the current time.
The comments are likely to inflame critics of the government's handling of the complex divorce process at a time when talks with Brussels have stalled because of a row over how to manage the Irish border after Brexit.
Davis has become embroiled in a long-running argument with lawmakers from across parliament over what preparatory work the government has undertaken, and how much of it should be made public.
“There's no systematic impact assessment I'm aware of,” Davis told a parliamentary committee, saying it would be more appropriate to conduct such analysis later in the negotiating process.
That drew immediate criticism from lawmakers on the committee, who said Davis was contradicting his previous statement that the government had analyses of the sectoral impact that went into “excruciating detail”.

Q:
Devise and current_user issue when using namespace
On core website I use standard Devise configuration for user authentication. In routes.rb:
devise_for :users
Now, I have a namespace, lets call it "frame", being used for display some views via some controllers in small window (or iframe) on remote page.
I need to authenticate user inside the frame, therefore I nested devise_for declaration:
namespace :frame do
devise_for :users
resources :albums, :only => :show do
resources :photos, :only => [:new, :create, :show]
end
end
To make the whole thing work I needed to create proper controller:
class Frame::SessionsController < ::Devise::SessionsController
layout "frame"
end
And now I use the following path to display form:
new_frame_user_session_path
HOWEVER. When I logged in via frame, *current_user* is nil, and I have *current_frame_user* instead. It's bad, because the user logged in via core website (*current_user*) should be available via frame and reverse (in one browser).
Is there a little tweak to achive it or I should change the whole approach? Thank You for help.
A:
The solution was for me to change the log-in form in views/frame/sessions/new.html.haml.
Instead of:
= simple_form_for resource, :as => resource_name, :url => session_path(resource_name) do |f|
I needed to overwrite resource name:
= simple_form_for resource, :as => :user, :url => session_path(:user) do |f|
Now I am able to log-in within the frame and the user's session is coherent between the frame and the rest of the site.

Maybe New York City FC coach Jason Kreis had a point when he called out referee Ismael Elfath for having “a very poor night.”
Here is one call that he sorely missed. New York Red Bulls defender Damien Perrinelle got away with a swipe on defender Jefferson Mena as both men jostled for position during Sunday night’s third and final Hudson River Derby. Frustrated with Mena’s marking, the Frenchman pushed away from the NYCFC centerback, taking a left hook that just missed the mark.
This is one that will surely fall under the scrutiny of the MLS Disciplinary Committee.
If precedent is followed, Perrinelle may be subject to a fine and suspension for his actions. Philadelphia Union midfielder Fred suffered a red card suspension, a fine and an additional match suspension for a similar incident earlier this year.
Here is a video of the infraction |

Veneers
If the entire front of the tooth needs to either be repaired or cosmetically improved, one option is a porcelain veneer. A veneer, by definition, is an overlay with a thin layer of a fine or decorative material. We can change the color, shape, length, alignment and spacing of your teeth with porcelain veneers.
Veneers typically require two appointments; the first visit is needed to prepare the teeth by removing a small amount of tooth structure from the front surface of the affected teeth and then an impression is taken so a model can be made. The amount of tooth structure that needs to be removed depends upon several factors such as the alignment, length, shape, spacing, and any discolorations in your natural teeth. Your teeth might be temporized depending upon your case. The case is sent to the lab, and at the second visit the veneers are tried in, cemented, and adjusted to fit your looks, style, and personality.
We can achieve a natural look with porcelain veneers because they are thin and there is no metal to be concealed. If and when your gums recede in the future, you will not have a dark gray line as was common with older porcelain crowns. We did our job well if no one notices our treatment.

Optimizing the conditioning regimen for allogeneic stem-cell transplantation in acute myeloid leukemia; dose intensity is still in need.
Allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (SCT) is potentially curative therapy in AML by providing both dose-intensive chemo-radiotherapy and induction of graft-versus-leukemia (GvL) effect. Historically, more emphasis was given to the intensity of conditioning. Over the last decade the pendulum turned more towards induction of GvL as the primary goal. A plethora of non-myeloablative (NMA) and reduced-intensity conditioning regimens (RIC) were introduced trying to reduce transplant-related toxicities and allow SCT in elderly and medically infirm patients. In addition, reduced-toxicity myeloablative regimens (RTC) based on fludarabine and myeloablative alkylating-agent doses were designed to allow safer administration of dose-intensive therapy. Conditioning dose-intensity is highly correlated with outcome after SCT. Increased dose-intensity is associated with reduced relapse risk, but also with higher non-relapse mortality. Overall outcome is determined by the net effect of these opposing effects as may be predicted by patient age, comorbidities and disease status at transplantation. Retrospective comparative trials showed that while outcome may be similar with the various regimens in patients given SCT in remission, NMA/RIC are inferior when SCT is given in advanced disease, due to high relapse risk. RTC regimens may be more effective in this setting yet better tolerated by patients not eligible for myeloablative conditioning. Randomized studies are needed to define the role of different regimens. Future studies will also focus on the design of more accurate models to select the best regimen in each setting. A search for novel regimens or post-transplant approaches with more intensive anti-leukemic activity, but limited toxicity will also be of marked benefit. |
Duplicating machines for the production of duplicated copies of an original by the lithographic technique to rapidly produce reproductions are known in the art. However, while some of these devices provide substantially automated operation, in many respects they do not provide built-in controls for maintaining a proper ink and moisture balance and supply in response to various conditions which tend to upset this balance and require close and skillful monitoring by an operator.
In most duplicator systems heretofore available, moisture is transferred to the form roll as soon as the duplicator printing couple is actuated. Hence, an attendant operator is required to perform manual adjustments for increasing or decreasing the fountain solution flow depending upon whether or not copies are being run. If such a duplicating system were not attended by an operator, the moisture transfer from the solution reservoir throughout the ink and moisture roller complex occurs for some period of time before the master is inserted on the master cylinder. Then, when the form roller is brought into contact, it transfers a surplus of moisture to the master which cannot be used or carried off on the copy sheets fast enough to combat a washed-out copy look.
In view of the varying temperatures under which duplicating machines are operated and subjected to, the viscosity of the ink in the ink reservoir of the machine can vary from a rather thick consistency at low ambient temperatures to a relatively thin consistency at high temperatures. Ink having a thick consistency does not flow readily into the copy paper surface and therefore requires an increase in the volume of ink transferred from the fountain roller to the form roller. On the other hand, as the viscosity of the ink decreases and the ink thins out and both flows more readily onto the copy sheets and is more readily absorbed by them, it requires a reduction in the volume of ink transferred to the form roller. The foregoing situation is normally taken care of by means of the general purpose manual ink adjustments on the duplicating machine, which adjustments require considerable skill on the part of an operator, and usually prevent the use of the duplicator by secretaries or other casual operators. |

Giving new and unpleasant meaning to the phrase "necessity is the mother of invention," ammunition-strapped Islamic State militants have reportedly started using explosive chickens to terrorize their enemies.
That's right, explosive chickens.
According to Lebanese news website The Daily Star, ISIS militants in and around the Iraqi city of Fallujah were responsible for this latest innovation in modern warfare, in which home-made explosives are tied around the chickens and then set loose near enemy lines.
When the chickens wander close enough to their targets, the bombs are set off by remote control.
"ISIS will use whatever means they can to bring death and destruction. Using animals has little military value - it is just another example of how their twisted minds enjoy dreaming up bizarre ways to kill people," an unnamed British man fighting alongside Kurdish troops in the region told news website alBawabwa.
According to the Daily Star, the usage of this method shows the militant group is having supply issues, as its delivery lines are increasingly targeted by rival forces.
Images of the so-called suicide chickens have circulated on both pro and anti-ISIS social media pages and profiles, though their authenticity could not be verified.
According to alBawabwa, the report about the explosive chickens came only several days after a similar story emerged that ISIS militants strapped explosives to a goat and unleashed it near a Kurdish base in the city of Kobani in northern Syria.
Though it wasn't possible to verify the authenticity of the reports, animal-borne explosives have been used in the Middle East in the past. During the conflict between Israel and the Gaza Strip last summer, Hamas militants reportedly strapped explosives to a donkey and set it off near Israeli troops in the Rafah area. The soldiers noticed the suspicious donkey in advance and shot it, causing the bomb to explode. Though the donkey was killed in the explosion, no troops were hurt.
For a list of animal-borne explosive attacks, you're welcome to peruse the Wikipedia article dedicated to the subject. |
North West Theatre Company Film Club
The NWTC shows films on the last Sunday of every month. in a beautifully refurbished Roxy theatre in Bingara NSW in the New England Tablelands.
NWTC President John Wearne says that the program has something for everyone.
“We have attempted, and I think succeeded, in having a wonderful balance of films – some old, some new and covering a wide variety of categories. We probably have an increase in recent movies this time, with a good dash of old, much loved classics”, |
It doesn’t matter what whiskey he’s referring to in the headline – THIS is the whiskey you want to know better:
Whiskey doesn’t care. That’s what makes it cool. The only other liquor that’s anywhere near as cool is Tequila. But Tequila’s always been too crazy to really be cool. Tequila will cut you for looking at its woman, then laugh while the cops drag it off to jail, and spit at you during the trial. And trust me you don’t want to pick on Vodka either. Dude doesn’t have much of a personality, but I swear he goes to the gym twice a day. You want the nerd of the liquor crew? Try Gin. You can give Gin an atomic wedgie and the worst it’ll do is scream that his daddy will have you banned from the yacht club.
Where else do we see anthropomorphizing? That’s right, fairy tales, where the wolf is Big and Bad, and the piglets are helpless but chatty. I want to read a fairy tale – or at least watch a cartoon – featuring these spirits as characters.
That is hilarous! Interestingly enough, I got my bottle of Christmas Bitters from Master of Malt just last week. Looking for a cocktail idea. This could be just what I’m looking for! I’ll skip the American Honey Bourbon and just use some real honey instead. All I need now is some Ginger Beer. Thanks for the heads up! |
This document relates to power supply systems.
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system can be implemented to ensure constant power supply to a load even when an input power source fails. To accommodate the power requirement of certain loads, such as loads with high power requirements, a UPS system with a flywheel system can be employed. The flywheel system interfaces with the input power source, or power grid (e.g., a plant wide, citywide, statewide and/or nationwide utilities power transmission grid), and the load. When the power to the load falls below a threshold, for example, when the power grid fails, the flywheel system can discharge the stored energy, which, in turn, can be used to power the load.
As an alternative to the flywheel system, a battery system that includes multiple batteries can be used. The battery system interfaces with the power grid to store energy when the power grid delivers power to the load, and to discharge the energy to the load, for example, when the power grid fails. Each of the flywheel system and the battery system can be configured to deliver back-up power when the power source fails such that the load does not experience a power interruption. In addition, each of the systems can deliver back-up power for a duration sufficient to start back-up generators. In some situations, the flywheel system, the battery system, the power source, and the load can all be components of the same circuit. |
We were given some review samples of a new technology called ‘paper’ earlier this week. Paper is a natural material that can be produced in bulk, relatively cheap, and some people think it will replace e-readers such as the iPad and Kindle.
This week we read some articles and even a book using this innovative new material to find out if paper is really a viable technology and a possible replacement for electronic book readers, or e-readers.
The good news
Paper feels natural and looks good. Its texture is noticeably present and gives a comfortable feel. Text printed on paper is readable but text size is not adjustable. One clear difference between e-readers and paper is smell. Proponents of paper have touted that as a huge advantage over electronic readers. The magazine we tested actually smelled like chemicals but the books gave off a strange but comforting scent a bit like the smell of an old suitcase. Although the scent is currently not used to aid storytelling, it does give reading a paper book a weird and authentic feeling.
Paper doesn’t seem to need batteries as there is no backlight included. This also means you will need to supply your own lighting. No books or magazines we tested came with lighting included, and the official response we got was that there are no plans currently to change that. Although this can be an advantage (paper is lighter because no batteries or lamps are included) we do think manufacturers should warn about the need for external light fixtures in low light situations. In a way, it reminds us of the early days of computing where power adapters were sold separately, for good money, and weighed a ton.
No batteries also means that paper is slightly more durable. There is no risk of shortcutting your book or magazine but don’t think you can take your books into a bath or to the beach! Paper and water mix just as well as, well, e-readers and water. Adding water turns paper to pulp and renders your book unreadable.
Paper books
The bad news
Current paper books offer no way of searching through them. What you get is basically a fixed and linear story without hyperlinks or the search box you are accustomed to. The books do allow you to flip through pages by holding your thumb on the side and bending the book. It is a great feature to impress people but not practical for daily use. The pages flip by too fast to read any text.
The books also have no included dictionary which means you will have to buy a separate one, in the form of another book – often at a higher price than the book you bought in the first place. We kept double-clicking words in the magazine hoping to find out their meaning. I guess over time you will get used to the fact that you really can’t look up words from within books and magazines, but it freaked us out.
To annotate books you need pencils or highlighters. So now instead of carrying one book you are carrying two, and a bunch of pens, just to do some basic reading. The whole concept seems outdated and inconvenient to us.
CRM for paper is currently simple. You can’t electronically transfer books or magazines so the idea is that you lend them to friends and hope you’ll get them back. I guess this is going to lead to less piracy but a whole lot of disappointed people who will be lending out books and never get them back. I’m not sure of the solution isn’t worse than the problem.
Conclusion
Paper is clearly a fad – nice to have and something to impress your friends with. Sure, it will sell to a selected group of early adopters who will talk enthusiastically about the smell of paper and the hefty feel. Our sources say that even Apple is rumored to be working on something called ‘iPaper’ that will be even better designed (and available in white!) which will clearly do well with Apple fans. Besides that we expect paper to be short-lived and we advise you to stick to e-readers until this technology becomes more advanced.
There is also the issue of the environment. Producing paper involves dangerous and polluting chemicals and although paper is recyclable there is clearly a disadvantage to using so much material to produce just one book.
The least we would expect before we could see this work would be an included dictionary, a built-in backlight and erasable paper. Until then, stick to your trusted iPad or Kindle. |

Drug Rehab Centres
Statistics clearly show that drug addiction is on the rise all over the world. Between the relatively easy access to illicit drugs, the over prescribing of legitimate medications, and a myriad of personal problems brought on by tough economic times, the number of people addicted to drugs is growing. Middlegate’s drug rehab centres are here to help.
Our centres can help you by offering you the support and services you need from start to finish. Those services can include, but are not limited to:
Detox – The process of detox is designed to help the client become completely drug-free in just a matter of days. The process is not very pleasant for most people, but it is necessary in many cases. The caring and professional staff at our centres helps each addict make it through the detox period as comfortably as possible. When maintenance medication is appropriate, it will be prescribed.
Rehabilitation – No drug addict winds up being addicted by accident. Drug users always start using various substances because of some underlying pressure or discomfort. Rehabilitation is designed to find the underlying cause of why an individual uses drugs so that those temptations and pressures can be dealt with. Residential rehabilitation usually lasts about a month with follow-up care extending beyond that.
Aftercare – Once a client has completed detoxification and/or rehabilitation, aftercare is essential to ensure the individual remains drug-free. Middlegate services include getting clients hooked up with aftercare services as soon as they are ready. Aftercare includes one-on-one counselling, group therapy and, when appropriate, maintenance medication.
Depending on your drug addiction, you may best benefit from just detox or rehabilitation alone. On the other hand, you might be better served by a program that combines both approaches. The Middlegate philosophy is to make sure treatment options are suited to individual need.
Every Addiction Can Be Overcome
Perhaps you believe your drug addiction is too powerful to overcome. Middlegate wants you to know it is not. We have helped countless numbers of individuals come to terms with their addictions and find successful treatment. We have access to drug rehab centres dealing with all sorts of addictions, including:
cocaine, crack
amphetamines
heroin, LSD
marijuana
codeine, morphine.
The fact is that there is no addiction that cannot be overcome. While each type of drug does have its own effects that need to be dealt with, the process of addiction recovery can be tailored to ensure every client is served. It only requires a willingness on the part of the addict to fully participate in the program.
Middlegate Addiction Help is not content to see anyone continue to allow his or her life to be ruined by addiction. If we did not care, we would not be here to help you. However, we are here because our concern for your future is genuine. Please help us help you get on the road to recovery today.
Contact us right away so we can get you started with one of our qualified drug rehab centres. The longer you wait, the greater the chance that your addiction will become even more destructive than it is right now. |

Q:
How to - Flex client side and Java as Server side
Since I'm developing a multiplayer card game for Facebook using Flex as client side and Java SE as server side, I wanted to know how do I actually make the connection between Flex and Java? the server and client should be able to send each other data(cards,movement,room information etc...) across and I wonder what's the easiest way to do it without complicating it.
Any idea how to do? where to read about it ? I know JAVA but I find JavaEE hard to understand.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
A:
You can pay Adobe a lot of money and use their enterprise products.
Alternatively, you can use the open source BlazeDS, which allows you to communicate with plain text (direct HTTP) or using the binary AMF protocol with object serialization.
Also, if you are thinking about using JSON, as3corelib will help you on the Flex side.

Q:
A variable becomes undefined after referencing it in a defun
Hello good people of stackoverflow, I am having a weird problem while following Adam Peterson's Lisp for the Web tutorial. The problem in question is probably a problem with Clozure CL, however I just wanted to provide some background.
What's happening is simple. I declare the variable *games* by doing (defvar *games* '()). When I declare a function that references this variable, such as game-from-name, the compiler just yells at me undeclared free variable *games*.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
A:
You could be executing in a different package. Try examining the value of the *in-package* variable at the points where you define and access the variable to check which package is current. You use the in-package macro to set the current package.

Q:
Custom ControllerFactory with autofac
First of all i am a newbie in asp mvc so please be patient.
Currently I want to create project where autofac will be IoC container i will reqister custom controller factory. In custom controller factory I want to set implementation Data Repository via constructor of controller.
I thought it should be done in that way:
ContainerBuilder builder = new ContainerBuilder();
builder.RegisterControllers(asm).InstancePerHttpRequest();
builder.Register(s => new ControllerFactory()).As<IControllerFactory>();
IContainer container = builder.Build();
DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new AutofacDependencyResolver(container));
My Controller factory code:
internal class ControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory
{
private readonly Dictionary<string, Func<RequestContext, IController>> _controllerMap;
public ControllerFactory()
{
List<IController> lstControllers = DependencyResolver.Current.GetServices<IController>().ToList();
_controllerMap = new Dictionary<string, Func<RequestContext, IController>>();
foreach (Controller contr in lstControllers)
{
string ctrName = contr.ControllerContext.RouteData.Values["Controller"].ToString();
_controllerMap.Add(ctrName, c => contr);
}
}
public override IController CreateController(RequestContext requestContext, string controllerName)
{
if (_controllerMap.ContainsKey(controllerName))
{
return _controllerMap[controllerName](requestContext);
}
else
throw new KeyNotFoundException(controllerName);
}
}
Controller map is empty. WHen i want to resolve IController i receive and error because IController is not reqiseter but i used RegisterControllers in autofac builder.
Could you explain me how to do it in the right way?
A:
Since you are resolving controllers through interfaces, use the AsImplementedInterfaces method to register the controllers.
builder.RegisterControllers(asm).AsImplementedInterfaces()
.InstancePerHttpRequest();

Lawmakers Currently Under Serious Security Watch Over Rumors of Military Takeover

Taking after a caution raised by the Chief of Army Staff intimating that the military may plan to takeover government, lawmakers have apparently avoided potential risk.
A report by The Nation has demonstrated that Chief of Army Staff Lt.- Gen. Tukur Buratai cautioned officers against governmental issues to spare the country's majority rules system.
The alert is accepted to have taken after an insight report that a few government officials, who were awkward with the soundness of President Muhammadu Buhari, were penetrating the military.
There were no subtle elements of such invasion in the announcement, which cautioned officers not to fraternize with government officials.
The current postings in the Army may have been a piece of the measures set up to ensure the country's majority rule government against stuns and dangers, a source said.
Buratai likewise advised the anonymous government officials, who are said to have been put under observation by security offices, not to impact troopers.
As per the source, who talked in certainty, Gen. Buratai was irritated that the continuous professionalization of the military may endure a noteworthy misfortune if government officials were permitted to "penetrate the framework".
The source stated: "What Buratai did was a pre-emptive move by the military specialists therefore of insight report that a few legislators were out to penetrate the Armed Forces.
"The COAS chosen to shout out after insight on the demeanor of a few legislators who were awkward with the uneasiness over the strength of President Muhammadu Buhari."
Gen. Buratai's notice to officers was to ensure majority rules system, push that the Armed Forces must oppress themselves to regular citizen specialist, promise the military's reliability to the Presidency and alert lawmakers that officers can't be utilized for political underhandedness, the source said. He argued not to be named on the grounds that he is not allowed to converse with the media.
The armed force boss' doubt of the penetration of the military is accepted to have been fuelled by the emergency in Cote D'Ivoire.
Nigeria has denounced the rebellion in Cote D'Ivoire.
"Be that as it may, Gen. Buratai has utilized his announcement to console Nigerians and the worldwide group that the military won't intrude in legislative issues. This caution has paid off, with the United Kingdom and ace majority rules system bunches giving their sponsorship to the present organization.
"Also, his caution has worked in light of the fact that every one of the responses have demonstrated that Nigerians won't acknowledge the arrival of the military to control," the source said.
Reacting to a question, the source included: "I think the important security offices have set a portion of the speculated lawmakers on reconnaissance."
Another source said Gen. Buratai gave the notice to splash pressure in the Army over late postings.
"These bits of gossip begun from the last military posting. There were numerous vital arrangements which a few people felt went to the nearby associates of the Army initiative.
"There were claims that some trusted officers were placed in territories of impact due to the reaction of the soundness of the President.
"In any case, we have discovered that those protesting had no case on the grounds that Buratai as a fighter's trooper does not have any top choice. He puts polished methodology above ethnic or religious thought. He will likely keep the military joined together." |
javac is the compiler, which translates your source code into byte code. Byte code is a list of simple instructions that the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) can execute. The JVM contains a JIT (just-in-time) compiler that translates byte code into native machine code that the CPU in your computer can execute directly.
That is a high-level description; ofcourse there are a lot more details to understand if you really want to know exactly how the Java compiler and the JVM work. |

Q:
Log Shipping Monitor Server Instance
We plan to incorporate Log Shipping for basic disaster recovery with reporting needs. Server A Source Database will log ship to Server B database. We will conduct log shipping every few hours.
Looking at setup, there is an option for "Use a Monitor Server Instance". Currently we do not have budget/time resources to setup third monitor server.
In that case, what is the second best recommendation for Monitor Server to store status/history of log shipping activities? On the source primary server or destination server ?
We are mildly concerned about performance/activity of Source Server. Sometimes CPU can get moderate high. So I think Destination Server is better option. Also, in case primary server fails, we have status/history of when last time transaction logs backup/shipped/restored. If monitor was on Primary server failed, we would not know this.
I am trying to research if there is any missing reason to place monitoring on Source Server.
A:
If you are doing log shipping, I would highly recommend (and the best option I believe) you do have a separate monitoring instance. The monitoring instance could be in Express Edition so you don't have to worry about licensing. You just need to know that after you setup log shipping and you then in the future want to change the monitoring instance or add one, you may need to reconfigure your log shipping. The upside is that you can use the monitoring instance for multiple log shipping and have the view of all the primary/secondary databases status in one location. Once you completed the log shipping setup with monitoring instance, on the monitoring instance, right click on the instance -> Reports -> Standard Reports -> Transaction Log Shipping Status.
For reporting side of things, you need to disconnect the users/clients when doing a restore or wait until no one is connected to the database (delay restore). So plan for it. Another thing to be mindful of is that you can't add indexes or statistics on secondary database during standby mode. Doable but personally i would not use log shipping for reporting (only for DR purpose).
Personally, I would consider and recommend transactional replication for reporting. This gives you more control on your reporting database as you can create indexes, stats, create objects, etc on the subscriber database.

Q:
Export SQL Server table with headers to CSV using PHP
I am exporting a SQL Server table to a CSV using php (see code below). What I am needing help with is including the headers of the columns in the export. I can do this when I export from MySQL, but cannot figure it out with SQL Server. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
<?php
// SQL Server connection string details.
$myServer = "server";
$myUser = "user";
$myPass = "password";
$myDB = "dbname";
// connection to the SQL Server
$dbhandle = mssql_connect($myServer, $myUser, $myPass)
or die("Couldn't connect to SQL Server on $myServer");
//select a database to work with
$selected = mssql_select_db($myDB, $dbhandle)
or die("Couldn't open database $myDB");
//declare the SQL statement that will query the database
$query = "SELECT col01, col02, col03, col04, col05, col06, col07 ";
$query .= "FROM table ";
$result = mssql_query($query, $dbhandle);
//Generate CSV file - Set as MSSQL_ASSOC as you don't need the numeric values.
while ($l = mssql_fetch_array($result, MSSQL_ASSOC)) {
foreach($l AS $key => $value){
//If the character " exists, then escape it, otherwise the csv file will be invalid.
$pos = strpos($value, '"');
if ($pos !== false) {
$value = str_replace('"', '\"', $value);
}
$out .= '"'.$value.'",';
}
$out .= "\n";
}
//free result set memory
mssql_free_result($result);
//close the connection
mssql_close($dbhandle);
// Output to browser with the CSV mime type
header("Content-type: text/x-csv");

Neuroethology: self-recognition helps octopuses avoid entanglement.
How an octopus performs complex movements of its eight sucker-studded arms without entanglement has been a mystery. A new study has found that self-recognition of the octopus's skin by its suckers inhibits reflexive grasping of its own arms, simplifying the mechanisms needed to generate intricate arm behavior. |
Q:
How to manage client certificates for mutual TLS to be used within AWS Lambda
Our team is using AWS Lambda functions and API Gateway to facilitate connections to open banking API's within Europe. (PSD2).
Our Lambda's are written in NodeJS.
PSD2 requires Mutual TLS, which is fine and we have everything correctly implemented and working in a sandbox environment.
An example request would look something like this:
{
hostname: '[bank hostname]',
path: '[bank api endpoint]',
method: 'GET',
headers: {
accept: 'application/json',
signature: 'XXX',
date: 'XXX',
digest: 'XXX',
'x-request-id': 'XXX',
'tpp-signature-certificate': '[PATH_TO_CERTIFICATE]',
authorization: 'Bearer [accessToken]',
},
cert: fs.readFileSync('/var/task/certs/cert.crt'), // Buffer
key: fs.readFileSync('/var/task/certs/private.key'), // Buffer
}
The problem we currently have is that we are unsure where to securely store our certificates. For the time-being, we are just storing them in an assets folder in our codebase, this is not ideal and we would like to move them out of our codebase for obvious reasons.
We have been looking at AWS ACM. However it is not clear how we would retrieve a path to certificates (after uploading them) in order to use it in the request above.
So my question is how would we use AWS to securely store our certificates in such a way that we can use them in a HTTPS request?
A:
You cannot retrieve certificates from ACM, in fact these are attached to AWS resources only such as CloudFront, ELBs and API Gateway.
To retrieve the contents there is a couple of solutions.
The first is to store this in a credential/secrets store, AWS provide this functionality in the secrets manager service. Additionally you can store a SecureString in the systems manager parameter store.
Alternatively you could use a third party solution such as HashiCorp Vault.
With this approach if you need the file to exist on disk you will need to store the output in the tmp file storage.
If these approaches do not work for you, you could make use of AWS EFS. A recent addition has added support to allow Lambdas to have a NFS mount attached to share storage.

Mark Carney has warned that funding the current account deficit leaves Britain reliant on the ‘kindness of strangers’
A “tsunami” of cash flowing from the eurozone into Britain is set to dry up as the European Central Bank winds down its quantitative easing (QE) programme — potentially placing the pound under greater pressure.
According to Oxford Economics, about €50bn (£44bn) a year has been pouring into UK debt for the past few years as a response to the ECB’s bond-buying programme, which has pushed up asset prices across Europe, making British debt more attractive for continental investors. The consultancy’s analysis predicts that the volume of cash will halve next year.
The ECB’s huge programme of asset purchases has crowded out private investors in eurozone bond markets, causing them to look overseas to countries, including Britain, for better returns, according to the Oxford Economics |

Dynamics of vapor emissions at wire explosion threshold.
X-pinch plasmas have been actively studied in the recent years. Numerical simulation of the ramp-up of metallic vapor emissions from wire specimens shows that under impulsive Ohmic heating the wire core invariably reaches a supercritical state before explosion. The heating rate depends sensitively on the local wire resistance, leading to highly variable vapor emission flux along the wire. To examine the vapor emission process, we have visualized nickel wire explosions by means of shock formation in air. In a single explosion as captured by shadowgraphy, there usually appear several shocks with spherical or cylindrical wave front originating from different parts of the wire. Growth of various shock fronts in time is well characterized by a power-law scaling in one form or another. Continuum emission spectra are obtained and calibrated to measure temperature near the explosion threshold. Shock front structures and vapor plume temperature are examined. |
Landscaping
Lawns produce significant amounts of nutrient-rich stormwater runoff, and research shows that such runoff can potentially cause excess algae growth in streams, lakes, and estuaries. Pesticide runoff can contaminate drinking water supplies with chemicals toxic to both humans and aquatic organisms. (Source: EPA).
Landscapers and homeowners can help to reduce the adverse effects of fertilizer and pesticides on local waterways by following simple best management practices.
FOLLOW THESE BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES TO REDUCE OR ELIMINATE LANDSCAPE STORMWATER RUNOFF:
Material Storage
All fertilizers and pesticides, as well as gas and oil for machinery, should be stored in appropriate containers that don’t leak.
Any excess chemical spills should be swept up immediately.
Store all containers holding powder and liquid materials under cover to protect from rain and snow.
Use secondary containment devices or construct dikes/curbs to contain any possible leaks.
Always keep containers closed and secure.
Store soil and mulch piles in contained areas where they cannot be washed into the storm drainage system. When these materials are transported for use on site, store them on the lot and out of the street where they won’t be washed into the street and storm drain system with overspray from irrigation or stormwater.
Fertilizers, Herbicides and Pesticides•Whenever possible, use chemical alternatives, or low-toxic chemicals.
•Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for safe use and disposal.
•Use the smallest amount necessary.
•Apply at optimal times for the specific application.
Equipment Maintenance•Inspect vehicles and equipment for leaks regularly. Fix problems as soon as possible.
•When draining fluids, use a drip pan and/or funnel to prevent any spills.
•Keep a cleanup kit of safety equipment and absorbent material, such as kitty litter or sand for spills.
•Never hose down streets or sidewalks to clean. Use a broom and properly dispose of sweepings. |
Linear and nonlinear response in the aging regime of the one-dimensional trap model.
We investigate the behavior of the response function in the one-dimensional trap model using scaling arguments that we confirm by numerical simulations. We study the average position of the random walk at time t(w)+t, given that a small bias h is applied at time t(w). Several scaling regimes are found, depending on the relative values of t, t(w), and h. Comparison with the diffusive motion in the absence of bias allows us to show that the fluctuation-dissipation relation is valid even in the aging regime, at least for times such that linear response is obeyed. However, for sufficiently long times, the response always becomes nonlinear in h. |

Laboratory Downdraft Tables
Airflow Systems Easy Bench
Uses
Fine detail work requires a user-friendly environment and, often, significant spatial constraints. A laboratory downdraft table meets these needs with robust performance in a convenient size. Totally self-contained, these units can be placed where they are needed and require no ducting. They are useful for the collection of dust, smoke, fume, and powders.
Features
An ergonomic, self contained, operator-oriented work station enables a seated operator to work over the downdraft area; rather than standing as typical tables require. A powerful, quiet blower efficiently draws dust, smoke, fumes and powder away from the operator's breathing zone and a spacious work surface allows for unobstructed handling and processing. Filter efficiency can be adjusted to address a variety of application requirements. |
Efficient reconstitution of mitochondrial energy-transfer reactions from depleted membranes and F1-ATPase as a function of the amount of bound oligomycin sensitivity-conferring protein (OSCP).
Pig heart mitochondrial membranes depleted of F1 and OSCP by various treatments were analyzed for their content in alpha and beta subunits of F1 and in OSCP using monoclonal antibodies. Membrane treatments and conditions of rebinding of F1 and OSCP were optimized to reconstitute efficient NADH- and ATP-dependent proton fluxes, ATP synthesis and oligomycin-sensitive ATPase activity. F1 and OSCP can be rebound independently to depleted membranes but to avoid unspecific binding of F1 to depleted membranes (ASUA) which is not efficient for ATP synthesis, F1 must be rebound before the addition of OSCP. The rebinding of OSCP to depleted membranes reconstituted with F1 inhibits the ATPase activity of rebound F1, while it restores the ATP-driven proton flux measured by the quenching of ACMA fluorescence. The rebinding of OSCP also renders the ATPase activity of bound F1 sensitive to uncouplers. The rebinding of OSCP alone or F1 alone, does not modify the NADH-dependent proton flux, while the rebinding of both F1 and OSCP controls this flux, inducing an inhibition of the rate of NADH oxidation. Similarly, oligomycin, which seals the F0 channel even in the absence of F1 and OSCP, inhibits the rate of NADH oxidation. OSCP is required to adjust the fitting of F1 to F0 for a correct channelling of protons efficient for ATP synthesis. All reconstituted energy-transfer reactions reach their optimal value for the same amount of OSCP. This amount is consistent with a stoichiometry of two OSCP per F1 in the F0-F1 complex. |

This book provides you with the knowledge to analyse, specify and debug SCADA systems in the instrumentation and control environment.
A SCADA system gathers information, such as where a leak on a pipeline has occurred, transfers the information back to a central site, alerting the home station that the leak has occurred, carrying out necessary analysis and control, such as determining if the leak is critical, and displaying the information in a logical and organized fashion. SCADA systems can be relatively simple, such as one that monitors environmental conditions of a small office building, or incredibly complex, such as a system that monitors all the activity in a nuclear power plant or the activity of a municipal water system.

Sorry, I garbled some of this a bit.
Suppose, as in OWL-S or SWRL, you have a semantic extension encoded
as a collection of OWL assertions. One way you can mark this, using
my proposal, as mustUnderstand is to mark the pieces of the encoding
as pieces of encoding (e.g., the way you might mark the expansion of
a macro or a auto-generated closure axiom) using a particular
annotation space. That space is marked mustUnderstand.
One could also add a mustUnderstand annotation directly as
convenience syntax.
Cheers,

Q:
Should an answer link to live code?
If I'm answering a question and I find myself writing code that lends itself to a live demonstration, as in the case of HTML and JavaScript, should I link to a page where readers can see it in action? My instinct is to do so, but I don't know if it's considered good form.
A:
For some time now we've had snippets (see the link in Lucas's comment). For pure HTML, CSS and Javascript questions, external sources should not be required.
I know may users love JSFiddle and other sites that provide similar service. Just keep in mind that if all you got to show is an external resource, and the link to that resource is dead... Then all downvotes and close votes are not only justified, they are the correct thing to do. A question that is completely self-contained here seems like a better way to ask.

Effects of ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease on a murine leukemia virus (Rauscher).
Plasma pellets and femoral bone marrow from BALB/cJ mice infected with the Rauscher leukemia virus were fixed, embedded, and sectioned. The thin sections were incubated in ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease solutions, stained, and examined in the electron microscope. Specific attention was paid to the action of the nucleases on characteristic virus particles in the plasma preparations and on viruses being produced by the "budding" phenomenon in the femoral bone marrow. Ribonuclease solutions digested the nucleoids of the virus particles in the plasma preparations from mice infected with Rauscher leukemia virus. The nucleoid portion of the "budding" virus particles in bone marrow, and the connecting cytoplasm of the stalks were also digested by ribonuclease solutions. In addition, the outer coat of the "budding" particles was affected in a nonspecific manner. The centers of the "budding" particles in the bone marrow and the nucleoids of viruses in plasma preparations were not digested by deoxyribonuclease solutions. Influenza virus, a known ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus, was used as a control for nuclease activity. The nucleoids of influenza virus particles were digested by ribonuclease but not by deoxyribonuclease solutions. After coriphosphine staining of the plasma virus preparations, the fluorescence was quenched in preparations treated with ribonuclease, but did not appear to be diminished in those treated with deoxyribonuclease. This study suggests that infection of mice with Rauscher leukemia virus produces virus particles in plasma and "budding" particles in bone marrow, both of which contain RNA. |
TOPMAN FW11 AT THE BAY – SEXY SWEATERS
Made famous by the uber popular tumblelog, Sexy-Sweaters, I can’t help but want to wear a super sexy sweater myself, now that it’s snow white outside and my bare arms are insisting they be covered. The duo behind the colourful tumblr blog, Alec and Greta, are bombarded with the same question multiple times per minute: “where can I buy a sweater?“, to which they’ve answered in their FAQ: “you can’t yet! we hope to start selling some of these in the future, but nothing’s been decided yet.” – lame. Until that glorious day arrives, we look abroad to our favourite brands for sweaters that are sexy. TOPMAN to the rescue (queue music)! Their FW11 collection, sold online at The Bay, has a few sexy options to get you through these frigid months. If you’re a hipster, well, consider this a year-round investment. My eyes are zeroing in on the oh-so-classy Country Mickey Mouse. Not only is it on trend (check D&G FW11), but I owe my life to Mickey Mouse, which we’ll discuss another time never. My twitter friend @SergioKletnoy would covet the throwback MTV logo version as he’s a music liver, aka recommending. With that said, click a sweater and go get sexy.
Yeah, it’ll be sad to see D&G go, but exciting to see what’s to come with Dolce&Gabbana as a brand. To my knowledge, they’re somehow incorporating those lower price points into the mainline, so it’ll vary from, literally, high to low.
Long live Mickey Mouse! It’s such a cute piece, and reasonably priced, too. The MTV one is another classic that I’d probably wear all the time. Xmas is around the corner; all gifts can be sent to my home address. Thanks! ;) |

THz detection has many applications. These applications include concealed weapon detection, surveillance cameras, astronomy, non-destructive material testing, as well as ample biological and medical applications. The most common THz detectors currently available are single, or sparse element scanning systems, which typically use heterodyne detection with high speed Schottky diode mixers.
However, there are many shortcomings with current THz detectors. There is an ever present need for THz detectors with a higher quantum efficiency, a higher level of detector integration in low cost, non-bulky systems, and an improved signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). |
One-Step Synthesis of MoS₂/WS₂ Layered Heterostructures and Catalytic Activity of Defective Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Films.
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are a promising class of two-dimensional (2D) materials for use in applications such as 2D electronics, optoelectronics, and catalysis. Due to the van der Waals (vdW) bonding between layers, vdW heterostructures can be constructed between two different species of TMDCs. Most studies employ exfoliation or co-vapor growth schemes, which are limited by the small size and uneven distribution of heterostructures on the growth substrate. In this work we demonstrate a one-step synthesis procedure for large-area vdW heterostructures between horizontal TMDCs MoS2 and WS2. The synthesis procedure is scalable and provides patterning ability, which is critical for electronic applications in integrated circuits. We demonstrate rectification characteristics of large-area MoS2/WS2 stacks. In addition, hydrogen evolution reaction performance was measured in these horizontal MoS2 and WS2 thin films, which indicate that, in addition to the catalytically active sulfur edge sites, defect sites may serve as catalyst sites. |
Public policy, private landholders: perspectives on policy mechanisms for sustainable land management.
A variety of tools can be employed in support of environmental policy objectives, but achieving preferred outcomes also requires the cooperation of private landholders and others with vested interests in the land. The Land Stewardship project in the state of Victoria, Australia, is an initiative devoted to exploring the ways in which private landholders could be encouraged towards more sustainable land management. Following the view that the success of policy initiatives is contingent on effective stakeholder engagement, a component of the Land Stewardship project involved a dialogue with landholders about policy tools (e.g., regulation, economic instruments) that might be deployed to encourage improved land management practices. This paper provides an account of the views and attitudes of landholders, as revealed in a series of three workshops, which consisted of discussions about the factors influencing agriculture, participants' interpretations of sustainability, and policy methods. The focus of the paper is on what landholders believe to be the strengths and limitations of standard policy tools, and the essential requirements for these tools to deliver the best land management outcomes. One of the main findings of the project was a 'preference hierarchy' in respect of policy methods, according to which the strongest support was expressed for voluntary and education-based tools, followed by market-based instruments, with command-and-control regulation identified as a measure of 'last resort'. In the paper we reflect also on how the views and outlook of landholders should be positioned relative to other inputs in the design of policy interventions. |
Q:
How to merge a dynamically created .xml-file with the main AndroidManifest.xml
I'm developing an android app and have made a script that can generate a .xml file dynamically based on certain values. The content it generates are a bunch of <intent-filter> elements.
After generating the file I want to use android's AndroidManifest-merging to merge it into my main AndroidManifest.xml
The various documentation around the web states, that merging is possible by using different build types/flavors/etc or by having the manifest in its own module (because the manifest in dependencies will always be merged into the main manifest).
The issue is that I dont wan't to use different build types/flavors, I want this file to be merged into AndroidManifest.xml across all build-types. So my idea was:
create a AndroidManifest.xml file somewhere in the project
write content to it
make android merge the manifests as if my manifest was placed in one of the build-type-folders.
My questions is whether or not this is actually possible? and if so, where (in the project-structure) do I put my created manifest.xml file and how do I make android merge them?
File-structure of what I have in mind:
- android
| - app
| - src
| - main
| - AndroidManifest.xml (main)
| - someFolderName
| - AndroidManifest.xml (my generated one)
I guess one solution could be to create a separate module for the project, which only contains the AndroidManifest.xml file that I want to merge, but I'm hoping that my initial idea is possible, as it seems simpler and cleaner.
A:
The solution to this was to create a separate module/project within the main project. The new module/project should only be responsible for generating the dynamically created xml and writing it to its own AndroidManifest.xml. This will make the app automatically merge all AndroidManifests from sub-modules with the main AndroidManifest.xml when it builds.

I can not wait until I leave in our trip to Mars. I have no clue what the surface if Mars is going to be so I am very excited to find out what it is like so I can start to create transportaion that will help us when we get there and thaat will also be able to help us get around Mars when we do get there. I know that it will take a while to get there but I know that when we do get there it will be a great time and we will be able to create some things that will be great for Mars.
I am so excited to go to Mars for a few years but for me leaving my family is going to be very hard to do. I am sure that I will miss my family alot. My family supported me the whole time and they all knew that I would be able to do this. My family loves and cares alot aobut me but I am sure that they will handle well and we will miss each other but soon enough they willl be on Mars, too.
I can't wait until I can start to interact with Ira Mathews who is a archetect. I think that I will work very hard with her becuase she a archetect and we can give each other ideas about designing our things that we both make, since I am a transpotation specialist and will be busy designing new forms of transportaion. I will also be with the energy creater alot because then we can work together and we can found out what form of enrergy is going to work the best for the transporation that I will be making.
I wanted to join the space colony so bad because I knew that I could make a difference on Mars and think of different ways to get around that will make it so Mars does not turn into Earth. I had no clue that one day I would be able to make a difference. I have always been interested in the planets and Mars was always my favorite one of all.
A few days ago I was packing up my things and I became very worried that I would forget one of my most important tools. Or my most important tool that I use, My grid paper and my pencils. I use them all the time. So I called my brother and he talked to me for a while then told me not to worry. I started to pack again and I double checked my bag when I was done.

The invention relates generally to the field of industrial metrology and, in particular, to model-based measurement techniques using multiple views.
Measurement of objects is of vital importance in manufacturing and repair industries. Various types of measurement systems, such as computed tomography (CT), coordinate measuring machines (CMM), laser-based profilometry, and infrared, are used for industrial inspection. For example, these measurement systems may be used for measuring dimensions or for identifying defects in manufactured parts, such as tubes. Unfortunately, many of these measurement systems are costly, slow to produce, bulky, application specific, and require high maintenance. For example, different gauges are often required for different tubes. Also, in many applications the tubes considered are smooth surfaces without texture or fiducial markings, and therefore current techniques that rely on point correspondences cannot be employed, as the accuracy level is lower than acceptable. As the manufacturing tolerances become tighter, there is a corresponding increase in the demands for metrology techniques for maintaining the tolerances. The need for quality and performance testing has become an integral part of the production or manufacturing process.
Accordingly, a need exists for a measurement technique that is relatively inexpensive, versatile and programmable for different applications and that requires low maintenance. |
Crystalglobulinemia syndrome. A manifestation of multiple myeloma.
Crystalglobulinemia syndrome (CS) is a rare vasculopathy that may arise as a complication of multiple myeloma (MM). A patient with multiple myeloma in whom crystalglobulinemia syndrome was the initial manifestation with polyarthralgias, cutaneous ulceration, and lower limb ischemia requiring bilateral amputations is reported. The rare syndrome of crystalglobulinemia may be associated with multiple myeloma, so it is important that clinicians be aware of this syndrome and its clinical and morphologic features. |
SELF-STERILE AUXOTROPHS AND THEIR RELATION TO HETEROTHALLISM IN SORDARIA FIMICOLA.
Eighty morphological mutants in the homothallic fungus Sordaria fimicola were tested on liquid minimal medium for nutritional requirements. Five had nutritional requirements, one for adenine, three for arginine, and one for lysine. All five were from among the eighty single gene mutants that were also partially or completely self-sterile. Nutritional requirements and centromere-locus intervals provide better criteria than morphological characters for selecting self-sterile mutants at complex loci governing heterothallism. |
Multiple methods used for type detection of uniparental disomy in paternity testing.
Uniparental disomy (UPD) has attracted more attention recently in paternity testing, though it is an infrequent genetic event. Although short tandem repeat (STR) profiling has been widely used in paternity testing, it is not sufficient to use STR only to judge the genetic relationship, because the existence of UPD will inevitably affect the results of genotyping. Compared with complete UPD, segmental UPD is more difficult to detect because it does not affect all genotypes on the same chromosome. It is necessary to determine the type of UPD with multiple methods because a single method is not sufficient. Therefore, it is advisable to detect UPD in paternity testing with multiple methods. In this study, after autosomal STR profiling was used, we found that there were several gene loci on the same chromosome that did not conform to Mendelian genetic law, thus we highly suspected the existence of UPD and performed X-STR profiling immediately. Then whole-genome single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis was performed to identify the type, and the results provided straightforward evidence for distinguishing complete from segmental UPD. Lastly, we used deletion insertion polymorphism (DIP)-SNP SNaPshot assay and Miseq FGx sequencing (for SNP and STR) to determine whether the mutation source is maternal uniparental disomy (mUPD) or paternal uniparental disomy (pUPD). To avoid false exclusion of kinship, it is vital to determine the type of UPD in paternity testing and effective strategies based on multiple methods to detect the type of UPD are provided in this study. |
Volume-rendered 3D CT of the mesenteric vasculature: normal anatomy, anatomic variants, and pathologic conditions.
Multi-detector row computed tomography (CT) offers important advantages over more conventional imaging methods in the evaluation of the mesenteric vasculature. It allows faster scanning, which practically eliminates motion and breathing artifacts, as well as thinner collimation. These advances, coupled with rapid intravenous administration of contrast material, allow excellent opacification of the mesenteric arteries and veins. This improves the quality of the three-dimensional (3D) data sets, which in turn leads to improved 3D vascular maps and more accurate assessment of various conditions such as arterial or venous encasement in patients with pancreatic cancer, mesenteric ischemia, or inflammatory bowel disease. Three-dimensional multi-detector row CT also allows better visualization of arterial and venous branching, thereby improving detection of more distal vascular involvement. In addition, 3D multi-detector row CT may help detect hemodynamic changes in patients with active inflammation and hyperemia of a bowel segment because it can be used to measure bowel wall enhancement over time. Carcinoid tumors that have infiltrated the mesentery have a characteristic CT appearance, and other conditions such as lymphoma or sclerosing mesenteritis can also manifest as an infiltrating mass that envelops mesenteric vessels. Three-dimensional multi-detector row CT represents a significant advance in CT technology and can help ensure prompt, accurate evaluation of the mesenteric vasculature. |

Q:
how plausible is this method of humans breathing fire?
My method of breathing fire involves humans stomachs producing ethane or methane and them holding a lit flame near their faces and just breathing out of burping . Fire breathing in this is more cultural than useful. Humans basically worship flame it self .Is this plausible or completely ridiculous. the flame would be a very small burst
A:
Burping is mostly caused by gas contained in the stomach.
Methane and ethane are formed in the intestine by bacteria residing there.
Therefore if you want to have methane fed fire, you have to lit farts. Less epic, if you want. Or more, depending on your taste for epic.
If you want to lit burps, the only thing you can achieve is producing hydrogen using the hydrochloric acid contained in the stomach, by ingesting some metal.
But mind that hydrogen is a hell of burning gas: it easily explodes and its flames are not visible, since they emit UV.

Q:
Call a model function when CodeIgniter loads
I've been working on a CI application and I came across an issue.
Instead of using a CronJob, I want to acomplish the following:
normally, when a user opens my website CodeIgniter loads in the background. When CI finishes loading I want to call a function from a model that I've written. How can I acomplish this?
(I don't know which controller would be loaded by the viewer, hence my confusion)
Hopefully you understood me and I'm awaiting your answers
A:
I suggest you read about Hooks in CodeIgniter. You can specify at what point in the application you want the hook to run, and from what you describe the post_system hook is what you need.
post_system
Called after the final rendered page is sent to the browser, at the end of system execution after the finalized data is sent to the browser.
In the hook definition you specify what class and method to run.
$hook['pre_controller'] = array(
'class' => 'MyClass',
'function' => 'Myfunction',
'filename' => 'Myclass.php',
'filepath' => 'hooks',
'params' => array('beer', 'wine', 'snacks')

Model uncertainty--parameter uncertainty versus conceptual models.
Uncertainties in model structures have been recognised often to be the main source of uncertainty in predictive model simulations. Despite this knowledge, uncertainty studies are traditionally limited to a single deterministic model and the uncertainty addressed by a parameter uncertainty study. The extent to which a parameter uncertainty study may encompass model structure errors in a groundwater model is studied in a case study. Three groundwater models were constructed on the basis of three different hydrogeological interpretations. Each of the models was calibrated inversely against groundwater heads and streamflows. A parameter uncertainty analysis was carried out for each of the three conceptual models by Monte Carlo simulations. A comparison of the predictive uncertainties for the three conceptual models showed large differences between the uncertainty intervals. Most discrepancies were observed for data types not used in the model calibration. Thus uncertainties in the conceptual models become of increasing importance when predictive simulations consider data types that are extrapolates from the data types used for calibration. |

Does shining light have value beyond avoiding darkness?
I’ve seen the kingdoms blow
Like ashes in the winds of change
Yeah but the power of truth
Is the fuel for the flame
So the darker the ages get
There’s a stronger beacon yet
Let it be me . . .
If the world is night
Shine my life like a light
I love these lines by the Indigo Girls. They say something important on my behalf, something I wasn’t even aware of until I heard this song for the first time. One reason I decided to explore the shadow now is that my tendency to light candles rather than curse the darkness can become a crutch, an attempt to shortcut or avoid the unknown. In a recent conversation, a friend made the comment that focusing too much on the positive leaves out a whole rich aspect of reality: the shadow. What can this wild, mad, evil, naughty, unpredictable, untamed, uncontrollable part of us teach us about ourselves, and—more ambitiously—about our culture? The way we approach it makes a difference. I believe that way involves contrast, balance, artifice, and time-honored art forms.
The British actor, David Oyelowo, played Rev. Martin Luther King in the recent film, “Selma,” and a Black Panther member in “The Butler.” (There’s a wonderfully awkward dinner scene in the latter, in which Oyelowo’s character disses his real-life hero: Sidney Poitier. It’s the most difficult line he’s ever had to say as an actor.) In an interview with Terry Gross, Mr. Oyelowo said that he always turns down stereotypical afterthought roles like the “black best friend.” When she asked if there are other roles he declines, he said something very interesting:
“I hate horror. I won’t do horror films. I don’t really, personally, see the value in them. Anything that, basically, is overtly celebrating darkness, and, to be perfectly honest, sanctioning it, that’s something I can’t personally do. I feel you cannot see the light without darkness, but, for me, a prerequisite I have for myself is that light must, eventually, win out. And that’s just what I choose to put out into the world. I believe in it; I know that films affect and shape culture, and I want to put stuff in the world that I feel is edifying, as opposed to stuff that is detrimental.”
As a classically trained actor, Oyelowo has been in a lot of Shakespeare plays, so he knows what’s possible in the storytelling art of theater. The world of the play can include both darkness and light. And isn’t that one of the great services of drama? To give us the vicarious experience of inhabiting every character, including the villains, so that, in the end, when good triumphs and evil is punished, the moral lessons are delivered directly into our subconscious.
A key narrative of the dominant culture is that we have evolved past having to put up with evil and darkness, or even moral weakness. Whether it’s science, technology, analysis, pharmaceuticals, religion, space travel, or incarceration, we have the tools to perfect ourselves. We have only to project our dark/inferior/diseased/insane aspects onto others, then treat, cure, jettison, or lock them up. This is the story that gave birth to the “War on—“ policies: War on Poverty, War on Drugs, War on Terrorism. We have also been seeing it play out weekly, if not daily, in so-called “post-racial America.” The latest being the police raid on a teen pool party in the affluent Dallas suburb of McKinney, Texas.
The dominant story denies and represses. The emerging story accommodates and embraces. Dominant story “others” and projects. The alternative story owns and integrates. David Oyelowo isn’t saying he only plays light roles. He is saying he won’t play roles that wallow in darkness, because they do actual damage. He chooses roles that integrate the dark and the light.
There’s a classic plot form called the “Redemption Story,” where the hero (or heroine) starts off jaded, self-centered and pessimistic, then undergoes a series of trials that change him. By the end, his world has expanded: lessons have been learned and his perspective shifts. He is more honest with himself, perhaps more altruistic. He does something surprising and generous, seemingly out of character. Think Rick in “Casablanca.” Sure, he knows there is evil and darkness in the world. He also knows that a light burns inside of him and it’s his choice whether to shine it or hide it behind cynicism and apathy.
I’ve written before about modern culture’s suspicion of the redemption plot. Things have gone too far, haven’t they? We can’t be so optimistic; we are doomed and we deserve it. To believe otherwise is just Pollyanna, wishful thinking. In response to this cynicism, I come back to the power of story. We create worlds through the stories we tell. It’s that simple and that irrational. There is magic and mystery in storytelling, something Mr. Oyelowo understands well.
Why not tell stories of redemption? I submit that we won’t feel we deserve redemption until we reclaim our own individual shadows. There’s been so much projection of shadows that the entire culture is blanketed by a great storm cloud. All we can see is darkness, wherever we look.
We are just coming up to the summer solstice here, a moment when night will be at its shortest. For seven months of the year, between the Equinoxes, night is either equal to day, or greater in length. We can’t avoid the darkness. Even when we sleep at night, we are dreaming, and dreams are a rich source of material for exploring the shadow. Just now, I’m wondering if Mystery isn’t having its way with me, nudging me to explore the shadow at the time of year when we have the most light. Could it be the safest time all year to delve into this difficult and dangerous topic? Only one way to find out.
As cultures, we are now forced to reclaim our projections. The other creatures of this planet, especially women, animals, are collapsing under the burden of this projection. I used to despise my religious upbringing. Now I’m thankful for it. My religious experience tried to teach me the shadow must be avoided. That only made the shadow infinitely more intriguing. I suspect that’s true for millions of others whether they are conscious of it or not. Shadow is not the demon as depicted. Its denial…is. Stepping into it, embracing it, exploring it brought my humanity to full maturation. |

The present invention relates to a method of feeding a specific length of wrapping paper to a packaging section in a coin packaging machine and a device for carrying out the method.
Hitherto known method and device for feeding a specific length of wrapping paper to a packaging section where a predetermined number of stacked coins are packaged with the wrapping paper are constructed such that a cycle of wrapping paper feeding operations are generally carried out by way of the steps of forwarding a strip of wrapping paper drawn out from a wrapping paper roll to the packaging section by means of a pair of wrapping paper feeding rollers along a guide wall of a wrapping paper guide passage, firmly holding the leading end part of the forwarded wrapping paper by pressure contact of a plurality of wrapping rollers with a stacked structure of coins which are caused to rotate by the latter so as to tightly stretch the wrapping paper between the wrapping paper feeding rollers and the wrapping rollers, cutting off it to the specific length by thrusting it against a cutting knife and allowing the specific length of wrapping paper to be wound round the stacked structure of coins.
In the conventional method and device the specific length of wrapping paper to be wound round the stacked structure of coins is determined by the length of the wrapping paper guide passage extending from the cutting knife and the packaging section.
In such a country as Japan where there is only an appreciable difference in diameter among plural kinds of current coins packaging operations are practiced without any particular difficulty even though a constant length is employed for all wrapping papers to be used. To the contrary, in other countries, for instance, England where there is a substantial difference in diameter among current coins it is necessary to make an adjustment with respect to a required length of wrapping paper in dependence on the diameter of coins to be packaged.
To fulfill the above necessity there were proposed various methods. One of them is such that the position where the cutting knife is mounted is displaced along the wrapping paper guide passage depending on the selected diameter of coins. Other one is such that the cutting knife is stationarily mounted but the guide wall of the wrapping paper guide passage is divided into two parts at a predetermined position one of which is adapted to be displaced from the initial position in dependence on the selected diameter of coins so as to change the working length of the wrapping paper guide passage. Another one is a combination of the above-described methods.
Due to the arrangement made for the conventional methods, complicated displacement or adjustment mechanisms such as mechanism for displacing the cutting knife in the direction of feeding of the wrapping paper, a mechanism for displacing one of a pair of wrapping paper guide walls to a directional position different from that of the other one and others are required. In case of the conventional method in which one of the pair of wrapping guide walls is displaced to a directional position different from that of the other one it is found that a smooth and continuous wrapping paper guide wall surface is formed only for a certain kind of coins to be packaged but an angularly bent point is formed at the junction between the pair of wrapping paper guide walls when packaging other kind of coins and thereby a smooth guide wall surface fails to be obtained, resulting in an occurrence of incorrect feeding of the leading end part of the wrapping paper.
Further, it is recognized with respect to countries in which no adjustment is required for the length of wrapping paper depending on the various kinds of coins to be packed that in a certain country a short length of wrapping paper is employed for packaging operations but in other country a very long length of wrapping paper is required. To meet the requirement it is necessary to design the wrapping paper guide passage in dimensions larger than that for the first mentioned country. This causes a working space required for the wrapping paper guide section in a coin packaging machine to become enlarged with the result that the coin packaging machine is constructed in a bigger size. This means that a single design for the coin packaging machine cannot be commonly employed for all countries in the world. |

so, you will need a blank sheet of paper, a pencil, an eraser.
to understand how to draw the doughnut, you need to perform a series of simple manipulations.
Draw a circle freehand. Do not try. Well, if he will curve, it will give a more realistic look to the drawing.
Inside draw another circle. It turned out a doughnut, or bagel-whatever.
Next you can draw the chocolate or any other frosting.
In black and white, the doughnut does not look very appetizing, so it is advisable to decorate with colored pencils, crayons, paints with a minimal amount of water.
Outer edge, point black.
Here is how to draw a donut with a pencil in stages easily and quickly. This is the easiest and a win-win. But you can give volume and depth to this baked product.
How to make a doughnut realistic
Indicate lines on which you draw a circle.
Make two circles: one inside the other. Now draw the bottom line.
Here and ready donut, left to baste it with glaze and add sprinkles.
to show that it is realistic, to the right of the figure draw that he cast a shadow, darkening the left side of the midway.
Shadow touches you can shade using cotton swab or finger. Can I keep the shading as shown in the figure below.
If you wish, color the picture, although this picture looks very complete.
It was another way to draw donuts. Nothing particularly complicated there.
Drawing donuts on cells
If you want to create a more schematic drawing, use plain leaf in the box. How to draw a doughnut on the cell? Very simple. Draw a circle, zastrahovany cells. The main thing - do not stray to the donut not too deformed.
Make the outer edge black, the following circles make dark brown or orange and the middle give a lighter shade. You can decorate gel pens then the donut will be bright and saturated, pencils or markers.
This scheme is well suited for embroidery.
Even children can easily understand how to draw doughnuts using the above methods. From them do not need special artistic skills. But since there are different types of donuts, a space for drawing too large.
Experiment and connect the imagination. |
Q:
Ember : Observes changes made to an input helper with an array of data
I have an array of object. I am iterating on it in my template (through #each) and i print an input for each item.
How could i observes changes made to any items of that array ?
Here is the problem : JSBin
A:
one way would be to add an observer in your App.IndexController, like this:
App.IndexController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
listBinding: 'model.val'
listContentChanged: function() {
// here the code, but, you won't know which one changed
}.observes('list.@each.content')
});
other way would be to create another controller to represent each of the elements in list:
App.MyController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
contentChanged: function() {
// and here, you can access 'content', content will be each of
//the objects in the list array
}.observes('content.content')//we're observing 'content.content',
//the first one is the content of this controller, which is one
//of the elements of the list array, and the second 'content'
//would be the property you defined in each of the objects when you created them
});
and then, you would need to change the loop in your template, to something like this:
{{#each l in list itemController="my"}}
{{input value=l.content.content}}
{{/each}}
itemController="my" specifies that each element in the array will create an instance of MyController.
Hope this helps.

"This is an intensely interesting book. The Aristotelian reading of the plays is rich, cogent, and extensive. Professor Langis has made an important contribution not only to Shakespeare studies but also to ethical criticism in general."
"At a time when it is more fashionable for Shakespeare critics to concern themselves with ideas of social conflict, transgression and resistance, it takes real guts for someone to take Aristotle's ideas about virtue and the harmonizing of the passions seriously. The standard of Langis's historical scholarship is exemplary. What makes her treatment of the evidence so compelling, however, is the way she brings out the emotional immediacy of Shakespeare's delineation of his characters and their social situation for a contemporary audience." |

Programme of visual applications for Infection Prevention Control
VisionOn programme of research for the use of visualisations in Infection Prevention and Control
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is recognised as one of the most important global issues for human and animal health due to the increasing numbers of resistant infections leading to many existing antimicrobials becoming less effective. Appropriate infection prevention and control (IPC) measures across hospital settings have a crucial role in reducing the incidence of healthcare associated infections (HAIs). The work described here describes a programme of sequential enquiry into addressing the issue of HAIs.
Visinvis
In the first study, Visinvis, the investigators worked with healthcare staff to explore the mind’s eye in relation to HAIs and dynamic ways of visualising concepts, including new clinical data.
The second study, visionOn, demonstrated, through a proof of concept interactive tablet app, dynamic visualisations of pathogen location, survival and transmission within a virtual hospital ward model using evidence-based microbiological and staff behavioural data.
The third study, the HAIVAIRN network seeks to coalesce a diverse range of national and international expertise around visualisation-related ideas to address the prevention and control of HAIs, working from a foundation in arts and humanities. |
Q:
SMB super slow within LAN between MAC and PC
I have a windows desktop which stores all my movies, songs and pictures.
I have a mac laptop which I would like to access these files.
I don't want to utilize the FTP or SCP protocol because I don't want them to be downloaded to my mac. I want to access them as if they are a network mounted disk.
So I tried using the native SMB protocol (available in Finder -> Go -> Connect to server). I tried dragging a file and dropping it onto my MAC's desktop. Surprisingly, I am only able to transfer at a very slow rate of about 1mb/s.
Assuming network connectivity is not a problem, has anyone experienced incredible slowness with SMB?
Are there alternative protocols for me to use in this case between PC and MAC?
A:
In Mavericks, try using a cifs:// connection rather than SMB. The new SMB2 implementation has a bug.

Synthetic lateral inhibition governs cell-type bifurcation with robust ratios.
Cell-type diversity in multicellular organisms is created through a series of binary cell fate decisions. Lateral inhibition controlled by Delta-Notch signalling is the core mechanism for the choice of alternative cell types by homogeneous neighbouring cells. Here, we show that cells engineered with a Delta-Notch-dependent lateral inhibition circuit spontaneously bifurcate into Delta-positive and Notch-active cell populations. The synthetic lateral inhibition circuit comprises transcriptional repression of Delta and intracellular feedback of Lunatic fringe (Lfng). The Lfng-feedback subcircuit, even alone, causes the autonomous cell-type bifurcation. Furthermore, the ratio of two cell populations bifurcated by lateral inhibition is reproducible and robust against perturbation. The cell-type ratio is adjustable by the architecture of the lateral inhibition circuit as well as the degree of cell-cell attachment. Thus, the minimum lateral inhibition mechanism between adjacent cells not only serves as a binary cell-type switch of individual cells but also governs the cell-type ratio at the cell-population level. |
A strategy to reduce drug expenditures with a drug utilization review program.
This paper describes a potential strategy for implementing a Drug Utilization Review (DUR) program aimed at reducing hospital drug expenditures. The importance of this type of program is underscored by the spiraling rise in health care expenditures and the influence of a new drug technology on this rise. The program described here consists of a utilization review program for high cost drugs for which a lower cost alternative exists. An initial retrospective usage and cost analysis must be undertaken to identify those drugs which should be reviewed initially. As the DUR program progresses, additional drugs can be added to the review program. Once the drugs to be reviewed are identified, the first step is to develop usage criteria. This can be accomplished through a review of the literature and consultation with medical and other specialists. Appropriate medical administrative staff approval and endorsement of the criteria should be obtained utilizing various committee structures and other input. The pharmacy staff must also be inserviced on the approved drug usage criteria. After the criteria are finalized, staff pharmacists will contact a DUR pharmacist daily upon receipt of any physician orders for the review drugs. This pharmacist will then compare the prescribed drug use to the approved criteria and contact the prescriber when the usage appears questionable. A lower cost therapy will then be recommended when appropriate. In order to assess the impact of this intervention strategy on drug expenditures, the cost of the initially prescribed therapies must be compared to the recommended therapies. Data should also be obtained on overall drug usage and expenditures to detect shifts in therapy and drug costs. The success or failure of this concurrent DUR program will be highly dependent upon a team approach and cooperation. A program of this type could have a significant impact on hospital drug expenditures in those hospitals where it can be successfully implemented. |

I am using
expect(str).toContain(substr1);
for one string but I cant find a clean way to check whether substr1 or substr2 is in str
How could I do that ?
Thanks !

[Antiretroviral-induced toxiderma in HIV-infected patients].
CIRCUMSTANCES AND CHARACTERISTICS: The risk of toxiderma is greater in patients infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The most common toxidermas are maculopapular exanthema and drug hypersensitivity reactions. These toxidermas are predominantly observed with non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase analogs (nevirapine, efavirenz) and abacavir. Toxiderma has also been observed with other nucleoside reverse transcriptase analogs (zalcitabine) and protease inhibitors. REGARDING SEVERITY: The toxidermas observed are usually benign (maculopapular exanthema) and do not always require suspension of the treatment. However, certain toxidermas (Stevens-Johnson syndrome, Lyell syndrome and drug hypersensitivity syndrome) may be life-threatening and therefore contraindicate the continuation of treatment and also its sudden reintroduction. PREVENTION AND PRACTICAL APPROACH: Several studies have assessed the risk factors for toxiderma induced by nevirapine and hypersensitivity reactions to abacavir. The practical approach varies depending on the drug responsible, the clinical form of the toxiderma and the possible alternatives. |

Photomasks, referred to for short as masks or else as reticles, are used in lithographic methods for chip production. Structures that serve for imaging desired structures on wafers are formed on said masks. Said structures on the mask are predefined as mask design. Lithographic scanners are used for the exposure of wafers. A light-sensitive layer, the resist, is formed on a wafer. Said resist is developed after exposure by the scanner and the structure is etched into the wafer surface.
Structures produced on the wafer are becoming smaller and smaller. In order to produce the structures, the resolution limit of the optical units used in scanners has to be exploited further and further. The optical unit of a scanner acts similar to a low-pass filter between mask and wafer. This low-pass filtering has the effect that structures on the mask mutually influence one another during the imaging. An imaging of a structure onto the wafer is influenced not only by itself but also by its neighborhood. The imaging quality is influenced by further mask properties such as, e.g.: Refractive index of the mask substrate, thickness of the absorber, side wall angle, corner rounding, dimensions of structure features such as, for example, changes in the line widths of structures, line end shortening.
Since the influences are attributable to optical effects and since they are locally delimited, these effects are referred to as optical proximity effects (OPC effects for short).
Besides the OPC effects mentioned, the mask structures on the way to the structure on the wafer are changed by further effects. These may be, for example: optical aberrations as a result of the optical system of the scanner, apodization and vector effects, effects during the exposure and development of the resist and during the etching of the wafer.
Nowadays, all factors which change the structure on a mask until the representation thereof on the wafer are referred to as OPC effects.
In order to counteract these undesired changes in the structures on the wafer, the structures on the mask are changed in a targeted manner such that the imaging of the changed structures with the effects brought about by the lithographic system produces a structure on the wafer which comes as close as possible to the desired structure. This correction of a mask is called Optical Proximity Correction (abbreviated to OPC).
The change experienced by a structure on a mask proceeding from a predefined mask design until the formation of a wafer structure is described in a so-called OPC model.
An OPC model has numerous parameters for adaption to the lithography process used. This adaptation is effected empirically by a calibration mask being fabricated, on which test structures are formed, which are exposed onto a wafer. The wafer structures produced in the process are measured by use of a wafer CD-SEM. With this information, the parameters of the OPC model are then adapted such that, proceeding from the known mask designs, they can determine the resulting wafer structures with high possible accuracy. The OPC models are implemented in commercially available software solutions, such as, for example, the Calibre or nmWorkFlow software from Mentor Graphics. |

O lance de grande penalidade nos minutos finais da primeira parte do FC Porto-Tondela acabou por gerar polémica e opiniões diferentes.
Com a primeira parte a caminhar para o fim e ainda com o jogo empatado, o FC Porto-Tondela teve neste momento um dos lances mais polémicos. O árbitro assinalou grande penalidade de Osorio sobre Soares - este vídeo é uma perspetiva mais aproximada do ângulo de visão do árbitro -, André Silva concretizou a grande penalidade que abriu o marcador.
No final do jogo, Pepa contestou a decisão do árbitro Luís Ferreira, o presidente do Tondela, Gilberto Coimbra, fez o mesmo; e Nuno Espírito Santo, treinador dos portistas, considerou que o árbitro decidiu bem neste lance e minutos depois na expulsão do central venezuelano. |
