Chris Marper: Quite why I earned the nickname FMA, which actually stands for F#cking Marper Again, I don’t know. Apparently, when I post on our Facebook Page about the impending Zombie Apocalypse, buying an island to build our own shooting range, or just suggest that we invest in a machete in case we should get stuck in a jungle somewhere – the phrase “FMA” goes through my colleagues mind…

Pain relief drugs may help when you’re in pain but are they really doing you any good? Although they help relieve your pain they don’t fix the underlying issue causing the pain, so the use of pain relief can turn into a long term, unnecessary addiction. Pain relief should be taken in the smallest amounts possible and for a short period of time. Continue reading → |
[Acute hepatic porphyria and its neurological syndrome].
Certain of the hepatic porphyrias are classified as belonging to the acute hepatic prophyrias, namely acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), variegate porphyria (VP), hereditary coproporphyria (HCP) and ALA-dehydrase deficiency. The common feature of all acute hepatic porphyrias is the sudden onset of neurological symptoms. The whole syndrome consists of acute abdominal pain crises with autonomic dysfunction, global or focal central nervous system involvement and a predominantly motor polyneuropathy. Mono- or oligosymptomatic manifestations of acute porphyrias occur and are probably underestimated. The laboratory diagnosis of porphyria depends on the measurement of porphyrin precursors in urine, whereas the measurement of porphyrins in urine and feces is essential for evaluation of the porphyria type. Enzyme measurements are used to identify asymptomatic family members whose quantitative excretions of porphyrins are normal. At present the pathogenesis of neurological manifestations of acute porphyrias remains an unsettled question. The major hypotheses are discussed in this paper. The most important precipitating factor in acute hepatic porphyrias is drug ingestion. As many new drugs have not been in use for sufficiently long periods to assess their porphyrogenic activity, it is safer to avoid drugs in patients with porphyria. The most effective treatment of porphyria attacks is the administration of heme. Among the porphyria patients with epileptic seizures requiring antiepileptic medication, treatment with bromides should be taken into consideration. |

With the tweet of the editor of Israeli newspaper Haaretz’s English edition, Ami Scharf, about a private jet landing in Islamabad from Tel Aviv, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government faced uproar by all opposition parties. The government categorically rejected the claim of Mr Scharf, and the opposition failed to discredit the government, as the editor of the paper in another tweet admitted that he had only made a guess.
Israel’s illegal and immoral occupation of Palestinian lands strike a deep hurt in all Pakistani hearts and minds. Pakistan’s refusal to acknowledge Israel as a state is simply because of its attitude towards Palestinian Muslims. Israeli policies are unacceptable for Pakistan. That is the only reason for the refusal to acknowledge Israel diplomatically.
Whether an Israeli plane lands in Pakistan or not, is immaterial. The fact that an Israeli newspaper tried to portray this as a thawing of Pakistan’s stand on Palestine, is a sign that our principled stand on the rights of the people of Palestine, hits Israel where it counts. Israel must accept that the people of Palestine will find support across the globe in the hearts of Muslims. Not just from Pakistan, but from all over the Muslim world. Planes can land a-plenty, that will make no change to Pakistan’s stand on Gaza, and the rights of the Palestinian people to Jerusalem. |
Cocaine abuse remains a serious public-health concern in the United States. The propensity to binge use cocaine, and to combine it with other abused drugs, such as alcohol, heighten the health risks associated with cocaine use. Cocaine can impair several cognitive and mental processes, including those that control behavior. Thus, it is important to understand how such disturbances also can reduce control over cocaine intake once cocaine use has begun. The proposed project aims to determine how an inability to control cocaine consumption is linked to cocaine-induced impairment of inhibitory and activiational processes involved in the self-control and regulation of behavior. The project will test acute and chronic cocaine effects in adult cocaine abusers. The research combines measures of cocaine effects on cognitive inhibitory processes with conventional indices of abuse potential, based on subjective rewarding effects of the drug and its ability to reinforce self-administration. Initial studies will determine dose-response functions of cocaine on inhibitory control, and compare effects of different routes of administration. Subsequent studies will determine how inhibitory processes contribute to abuse potential by testing the degree to which acute cocaine-induced impairment of inhibitory control contributes to cocaine self-administration. The research also will determine how alcohol contributes to cocaine abuse potential by testing the degree to which its concomitant administration exacerbates cocaine-induced impairments of inhibitory control. Finally, the research will provide information on how long-term cocaine use could contribute to cognitive deficits that resemble attentional disorders, by producing a chronic deficit in basal levels of inhibitory control. The research has several long-term objectives. First, the findings and research strategies used to examine the role of cognitive mechanisms in cocaine abuse will allow the investigators to further develop and refine drug-testing protocols that measure the ability of medications to block the cognitive-impairing effects of cocaine which could play a role in its abuse potential. Second, the proposed research strategies and measures will provide initial methods and protocols for studying the combination of cocaine with other drugs of abuse that might also disrupt cognitive functions, such as opiates, which are also commonly co-administered with cocaine. Finally, the procedures for assessing inhibitory processes can be used to assess drug-free, basal levels of cognitive inhibitory functioning in drug abusers. Such studies would provide information on the degree to which these basic cognitive mechanisms play a role in the etiology of a general disinhibitory psychopathology which is considered to be a common phenotypic characteristic among drug abusers. |

A novel function for HEG1 in promoting metastasis in hepatocellular carcinoma.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths around the globe. For patients receiving liver tumour resection, the risk of reoccurrence and metastasis is high. Cancer metastasis can occur as a consequence of a physical change known as epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). In this instance, cancer cells acquire migratory and invasive characteristics that allow the cells to move into adjacent tissue or enter the bloodstream to reach a secondary site, where they begin to form a new tumour. Targetting proteins involved in the signalling pathways that induce the mesenchymal phenotype has been an ongoing field of research. A recently published study has described a novel role for the heart development protein with EGF-like domains (HEG1) in promoting EMT. This research provides new insights into the biological function of this protein in HCC. Furthermore, the research indicates a new target for future prognostic and therapeutic research in HCC. |

Q:
Protractor/Jasmine - Calling done() after assertions on a list
I have written protractor tests with a format similar to below where I map an assertion over an list of elements (In this case an ElementArrayFinder).
it("all dropdowns should be enabled", done => {
....
elemArrayFinder.map((elem, idx) => {
expect(elemArrayFinder.get(idx).isEnabled()).toBeTruthy();
done();
})
});
My question is around the calling of done() - It appears this is called on the first assertion, instead of after all the assertions have been completed. Does this mean Jasmine/Protractor will move to the next test even though assertions continue to be made on the list of elements? Is there a way to call done() only when all assertions on the list items complete?
A:
Because map is a loop, given your code, done() should be called on the first loop. You should be able to just omit the done() and it should work. That said, to answer your question, you'd do something like this (though please don't do this :) ):
it("all dropdowns should be enabled", done => {
....
elemArrayFinder.map((elem, idx) => {
expect(elemArrayFinder.get(idx).isEnabled()).toBeTruthy();
}).then(done);
});

While the White House has been careful to exude an air of confidence ahead of this afternoon's critical for the Trump administration healthcare vote, it should come as no surprise that Trump is preparing a Plan B
"just in case", and as expected, Bloomberg confirms that behind the scenes Trump is planning to blame Ryan in case of an embarrassing defeat this afternoon.
As reported last night, Trump’s senior strategist took the unusual step of traveling to Capitol Hill to deliver an ultimatum: take the vote on Friday, win or lose. Ryan had been carefully trying to build a majority for the bill, and it would be highly unusual for him to call the vote without knowing if it would pass.
"Ryan had little choice but go along with the administration’s gambit."
And while Trump said Friday at the White House that Ryan shouldn’t lose his job if the bill goes down, when asked whether Trump, Ryan, or the Freedom Caucus chairman, North Carolina Republican Mark Meadows, would be most to blame if the bill fails, the administration official said Ryan.
Trump’s core supporters regarded Ryan as at best unimportant during the presidential campaign and at worst a poster child for the sort of establishment, scripted politician they loathed.
Considering the planning that has gone into this scapegoating campaign, one almost wonders if it is not Trump's intention all along to lose the vote, in the process eliminating Ryan with whom he butted heads repeatedly before the election. As Bloomberg adds, "several Trump associates have already laid groundwork to blame the speaker."
“I think Paul Ryan did a major disservice to President Trump, I think the president was extremely courageous in taking on health care and trusted others to come through with a program he could sign off on,” Chris Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax and a long-time friend of Trump’s, said in an interview last week. “The President had confidence Paul Ryan would come up with a good plan and to me, it is disappointing.”
And just in case Ryan is an insufficient sacrifice, a second fall guy appears to be Bannon's nemesis at the White House, Reince Priebus:
A Trump associate who requested anonymity to discuss the president’s views on the matter said that White House chief of staff Reince Priebus may also be imperiled.
Even if the vote - or Ryan - survives this afternoon's vote, Bloomberg ends off with a relevant observation:
Still, Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and top White House aides had been working closely with Ryan on a health bill since the election and were heavily involved in negotiations to reach a deal, according to a senior Republican aide. That leaves questions about whether they’ll be able to cooperate to pull the party together on other tough issues, crucially a tax overhaul that Trump has said is a personal priority.
So is today's vote, which Trump is shoving down the throats of conservative holdouts, many of whom have warned they will not change their vote, just a complex charade to discredit the House speaker and rellieve him of his job? Find out some time around market close today.

Advances in supportive care.
A range of distressing symptoms, such as nausea and vomiting, dyspnoea and pain, which invariably impair quality of life, may develop in cancer patients as a result of their disease and treatment. The side-effects of cancer treatments place additional burdens on the patient. Patients indicate that they find nausea and vomiting and fatigue to be the most distressing symptoms. The burden of distressing symptoms and the side-effects of cancer treatments may be so great for some patients that they make a decision not to continue with treatment. Developing better methods of managing these complaints is critical for improving both quality of life and treatment outcome. Over the past two decades there have been dramatic advances in supportive care. The most significant advances have occurred in the general approach to symptom management and in the development of new pharmacological agents. Advances have also occurred in non-pharmacological approaches to supportive care and it is now acknowledged that interventions such as patient education and complementary therapies have an important role to play in ameliorating distressing symptoms. |
Using crisis theory to explain the quality of life of organ transplant patients.
To evaluate the literature on the stress, coping, and quality of life of organ transplant candidates and recipients, and to place previous research within a theoretical context. CINAHL database, Proquest database, Google Scholar; references from articles were also reviewed to identify additional data. Qualitative and quantitative research studies and meta-analyses pertinent to the stress, coping, and quality of life of transplant candidates and recipients were selected. Stressors associated with the transplantation process, coping strategies of transplant patients, and quality of life or transplant patients have been well researched for many years. Patients typically use problem-focused coping strategies in response to various stressors. Transplant recipients typically report a higher quality of life than do transplant candidates; however, posttransplant quality of life does not typically equal the quality of life of healthy nonpatients. The relationship between stress, coping, and quality of life of transplant patients has not yet been systematically investigated from a theoretical perspective. Recommendations for further research are provided. |
Q:
How to display Collada (.dae) file on Android with layers support?
The project I am working on is the augmented reality Android app. I need to display 3D objects in any way using Collada file format (.dae). The client want to use Collada because it is
easy to export 3D projects into this format and .dae supports layers system.
Unfortunately, the libraries and frameworks I use doesn't support .dae
format in any way (ARToolkit and Android SDK + NDK). And it is not adviced to work with such files on the
mobile phone. Supported formats are simple .obj and OpenSceneGraph
formats (.ive, .osg, .osgb). They are displayed in the Android using
OpenGL ES directly, or using OpenSceneGraph framework. I am quietly
frustrated and don't know which way to choose:
To write some script to convert .dae collada file into the .obj
file? With so many .obj files as layers count in collada file. And
switching between this objects will be imitation of adding/removing
layers.
Or may be using OpenSceneGraph framework, convert
collada into .osg or .ive? I don't know yet how OSG works with
layers.
Could you give some advice, where to move in this situation?
Or perhaps there is the way I don't see.
A:
DAE/COLLADA is a content creation format, but NOT a good final distribution format.
Authoring tools work with DAE, but you shouldn't use it in your final runtime. When the file is finished being designed, use a build of OSG that was compiled on a PC to convert DAE to OSGB (or IVE) and distribute THAT. It's much easier to load.
The dependent libraries needed by the OSG COLLADA loader are very hard to build on Android or iOS.

Microarray bioinformatics in cancer- a review.
Bioinformatics is one of the newest fields of biological research, and should be viewed broadly as the use of mathematical, statistical, and computational methods for the processing and analysis of biological data. Over the last decade, the rapid growth of information and technology in both "genomics" and "omics" eras has been overwhelming for the laboratory scientists to process experimental results. Traditional gene-by-gene approaches in research are insufficient to meet the growth and demand of biological research in understanding the true biology. The massive amounts of data generated by new technologies as genomic sequencing and microarray chips make the management of data and the integration of multiple platforms of high importance; this is then followed by data analysis and interpretation to achieve biological understanding and therapeutic progress. Global views of analyzing the magnitude of information are necessary and traditional approaches to lab work have steadily been changing towards a bioinformatics era. Research is moving from being restricted to a laboratory environment to working with computers in a "virtual lab" environment. The present review article shall put light on this emerging field and its applicability towards cancer research. |
Prefrontal activation due to Stroop interference increases during development--an event-related fNIRS study.
Although it is well known that executive processes supported by the frontal lobe develop during childhood and adolescence, only one functional imaging study has used the Stroop task to investigate the relationship between frontal lobe function and cognition from a developmental point of view. Hence, we measured brain activation in the lateral prefrontal cortex of children with functional near-infrared imaging during an event-related, color-word matching Stroop task and compared results with a previous study, conducted with the same paradigm in adults. In children, the Stroop task elicited significant brain activation in the left lateral prefrontal cortex comparable to adults. However, the hemodynamic response occurred later in children than adults. Individual brain activation due to Stroop interference varied much more in children than adults, which was paralleled by a higher behavioral variance in children. Data suggest that children differed in their individual cognitive development independent of their chronological age more than adults. Brain activation due to Stroop interference increased with age in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in correlation with an improvement of behavioral performance. In conclusion, our results indicate that neuromaturational processes regarding resolution of Stroop interference may depend on increased ability to recruit frontal neural resources. |
Does single Kanji process dominantly in the right hemisphere? Some implication from Stroop-test results.
Naming times to single character Kanji, which consisted of small alphabetic letters, Kanji (Stroop stimuli), and solid lines, presented in the left or the right visual field were measured. When subjects tried to respond to Alphabet Stroop stimuli, they showed a greater interference effect in the case of right visual field presentation. Kanji Stroop stimuli yielded no visual field difference in the size of interference effect. These findings suggest that Kanji has a different property from phonetic symbols and a specialization of the right hemisphere for single character Kanji processing. |

Coats and vesicle budding.
Transport vesicles need coat proteins in order to form. The coat proteins are recruited from the cytosol onto a particular membrane, where they drive vesicle budding and select the vesicle cargo. So far, three types of coated transport vesicles have been purified and characterized, and candidates for components of other types of coats have been identified. This review gives a brief overview of what is known about the various coats and their role in transport vesicle formation. |

SJP’s Genderless Eau de Parfum
Sarah Jessica Parker is an icon when it comes to fashion and beauty. She is the epitome of authentic class and unique style so you know that anything she puts out is going to be amazing. I recently got her newest perfume, Stash, which is honestly so original because it is such a fierce and sensual fragrance but it can be used by both genders. As SJP said, it’s a “fragrance for the human being.” Hector is always nosing around my perfume collection and I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts stealing this one for himself. In case you were wondering about the name, SJP worked for years on this to perfect the scent so it’s been “stashed” away for so long and is now finally here! It has a very woody scent but also contains things like grapefruit zest, ginger lily, patchouli and even pistachio! Trust me, it’s one to definitely try out. |

The pharmaceuticalisation of society? A framework for analysis.
Drawing on insights from both medical sociology and science and technology studies this article provides a critical analysis of the nature and status of pharmaceuticalisation in terms of the following key dimensions and dynamics: (i) the redefinition or reconfiguration of health 'problems' as having a pharmaceutical solution; (ii) changing forms of governance; (iii) mediation; (iv) the creation of new techno-social identities and the mobilisation of patient or consumer groups around drugs; (v) the use of drugs for non-medical purposes and the creation of new consumer markets; and, finally, (vi) drug innovation and the colonisation of health futures. Pharmaceuticalisation, we argue, is therefore best viewed in terms of a number of heterogeneous socio-technical processes that operate at multiple macro-levels and micro-levels that are often only partial or incomplete. The article concludes by drawing out some broader conceptual and reflexive issues this raises as to how we might best understand pharmaceuticalisation, based on our analysis, as a framework for future sociological work in this field. |

Mapping
Positive engagement.
It can feel like an oxymoron at times.
“How did they engage with what you were saying?”
“Oh, you know, positively. In the sense that they at least turned up and sat in the room”
Thursday was different. Thursday was about my CEO (and me, as sidekick) introducing a new process to a team who absolutely, positively knew that they wanted to engage. They had to challenge the way things were.
It also helps when someone, in this case Rachel, stands in front of them with an assured presence. A knowledgeable, comforting, “been there – bought the whole shop, let alone the t-shirts” way about them. Rachel really has. For when the group we were working with at the Royal Opera House used the word unique, Rachel simply scanned through her mental rolodex of unique situations she has been in before, and brought out the commonality in every one of those cases.
Likewise for me. I have worked in lots of unique places. Unique in the sense that we all felt that our problems, were ours alone.
So Rachel introduced the Wardley Mapping technique – which helps you to identify your value chains (I know, I know – get a work blog, Chris) and areas to develop, buy or simply “get from the wall” to meet the demands of your customers. In a way that even I understood.
And you know what. They all got it. They all positively engaged with what we were saying. No one sighed at a flip chart as we mentioned a “group exercise”. Post-its were grabbed. No one took a step back. No one shied away from the challenges they had to deal with. This was a transformative group, working in the open – with answers, not grumbles.
Here’s to engaging further. Hopefully the positivity will be infectious with others, if we do. |
Q:
Function that copies into byte vector reverses values
Hey, I've written a function to copy any variable type into a byte vector, however whenever I insert something it gets inserted in reverse.
Here's the code.
template <class Type>
void Packet::copyToByte(Type input, vector<uint8_t>&output)
{
copy((uint8_t*) &input, ((uint8_t*) &input) + sizeof(Type), back_inserter(output));
}
Now whenever I add for example a uint16_t with the value 0x2f1f it gets inserted as 1f 2f instead of the expected 2f 1f.
What am I doing wrong here ?
Regards, Xeross
A:
If you are on a little-endian machine (e.g., an x86), the bytes will appear reversed (i.e., the lower order bytes will appear before the higher order bytes).
If you really want to reverse the order of the bytes, you can use std::reverse.
A:
You're not doing anything wrong. You are working on a little endian machine (e.g. Pentium). On these, the lower significant byte of a multiple bytes value is stored at the smallest address. Hence the result.

Q:
How to cause soft references to be cleared in Java?
I have a cache which has soft references to the cached objects. I am trying to write a functional test for behavior of classes which use the cache specifically for what happens when the cached objects are cleared.
The problem is: I can't seem to reliably get the soft references to be cleared. Simply using up a bunch of memory doesn't do the trick: I get an OutOfMemory before any soft references are cleared.
Is there any way to get Java to more eagerly clear up the soft references?
Found here:
"It is guaranteed though that all
SoftReferences will get cleared before
OutOfMemoryError is thrown, so they
theoretically can't cause an OOME."
So does this mean that the above scenario MUST mean I have a memory leak somewhere with some class holding a hard reference on my cached object?
A:
The problem is: I can't seem to
reliably get the soft references to be
cleared.
This is not unique to SoftReferences. Due to the nature of garbage collection in Java, there is no guarantee that anything that is garbage-collectable will actually be collected at any point in time. Even with a simple bit of code:
Object temp = new Object();
temp = null;
System.gc();
there is no guarantee that the Object instantiated in the first line is garbage collected at this, or in fact any point. It's simply one of the things you have to live with in a memory-managed language, you're giving up declarative power over these things. And yes, that can make it hard to definitively test for memory leaks at times.
That said, as per the Javadocs you quoted, SoftReferences should definitely be cleared before an OutOfMemoryError is thrown (in fact, that's the entire point of them and the only way they differ from the default object references). It would thus sound like there is some sort of memory leak in that you're holding onto harder references to the objects in question.
If you use the -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError option to the JVM, and then load the heap dump into something like jhat, you should be able to see all the references to your objects and thus see if there are any references beside your soft ones. Alternatively you can achieve the same thing with a profiler while the test is running.
A:
There is also the following JVM parameter for tuning how soft references are handled:
-XX:SoftRefLRUPolicyMSPerMB=<value>
Where 'value' is the number of milliseconds a soft reference will remain for every free Mb of memory. The default is 1s/Mb, so if an object is only soft reachable it will last 1s if only 1Mb of heap space is free.
A:
You can force all SoftReferences to be cleared in your tests with this piece of code.

Take Shelter trailer
I hadn't heard much about Take Shelter until this morning, and the good news is that the trailer is really intriguing and Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain star in the film that's written and directed by Jeff Nichols.
I'm really curious as to where the story is going to go, but it does provide another powerful psychological role for Shannon to revel in, as he so often does.
Curtis lives in Ohio with his wife Samantha and daughter Hannah. When he begins having terrifying dreams about an encroaching apocalyptic storm, he chooses to keep the disturbance to himself, channelling his anxiety into the obsessive building of a storm shelter in their backyard. His seemingly inexplicable behaviour concerns and confounds Samantha, and provokes intolerance among co-workers, friends and neighbours. But the resulting strain on his marriage and tension within the community doesn't compare to Curtis' private fear of what his dreams may truly signify. Faced with the proposition that his disturbing visions signal disaster of one kind or another, Curtis confides in Samantha, testing the power of their bond against the highest possible stakes.
Now here's the trailer:
Looks good doesn't it? Are you as curious as I am as to how the story turns out and how the character develops? |

Q:
exact definition of open sets
What is the exact definition of open sets?
I know both definitions of open sets with respect to metric space and topological space. but what is most general definition that covers the both.
A:
Let $X$ be a set. An open set is an element of a collection $\mathcal{T}$ (whose elements are subsets of $X$), called a topology, which satisfies three conditions.
$\varnothing$ and $X$ are elements of $\mathcal{T}$.
For any subcollection $\mathcal{S}$ of $\mathcal{T}$, the union $\bigcup\mathcal{S}$ is an element of $\mathcal{T}$.
For any finite subcollection $\mathcal{S}$ of $\mathcal{T}$, the intersection $\bigcap\mathcal{S}$ is an element of $\mathcal{T}$.
Let $(M,\rho)$ be a metric space. Then the metric topology $\mathcal{T}_{\rho}$ induced by the metric $\rho$ is the collection of sets of the form $\bigcup\mathcal{B}$, where $\mathcal{B}$ is any collection (possibly empty) of open balls. Here an open ball is a set of the form $\{x\in M:\rho(x_0,x)<r_0\}$ for fixed $x_0\in M$ and for fixed positive real number $r_0$.
A:
There is no definition of what an open set is.
There is a definition of what a Topology, and each Topology will have a class of sets that are called open but these sets can pretty much be anything we want so far as the class of sets obey certain rules of inclusion.
A metric space is a type of topological space and the definition of an open set in a metric space is such that the class of all open sets obeys the rules of inclusion required for the metric space to be considered a topology.
So the definition of a Topology is the most general definition. But every topology will have its own classification of what open sets are. These classifications of sets must obey certain rules but the actual open sets themselves need not have any consistent properties.
....
More precisely if a have a universal set $X$ then ANY $T \subset P(X)$ (any class of subsets of $X$) can be called the class of all "open" sets so long as the following apply:
$X$ and $\emptyset$ are elements of $T$.
The union of sets in $T$ will itself be in $T$
Any finite intersection of sets in $T$ will itself be in $T$
As long as those rules are obeyed any set can be considered open.
If we have a metric space $X$ and we define that if a set $A\subset X$ is such: that for every point $x\in A$ there will be an open ball $B_r(x)$ around $x$ so that $B_r(x) \subset A$; we call such a set PEN-Oay.
Now $X$ is PEN-Oay because everything including all open balls are subsets of it. And $\emptyset$ is PEN-Oay vacuously because it has no points (as every point can be said to have any property).
And we can prove but I will not that any union (even infinite unions) of PEN-Oay sets are PEN-Oay.
And we can prove any finite intersection of PEN-Oay sets are PEN-Oay.
So if being PEN-Oay satisfies all three conditions for the class of all PEN-Oay sets to be considered a class of all "open" sets.
So we can say the metric space is a Topology so that $T = \{$ all "open" set$\} = \{$ all PEN-Oay sets$\}$.

Mental health at the intersections: the impact of complex needs on police contact and custody for Indigenous Australian men.
Indigenous Australians experience significant social risk, vulnerability and disadvantage. Nowhere is this more starkly demonstrated than in the levels of contact that Indigenous Australians have with the criminal justice system, particularly the police. Utilizing a linked dataset of extant criminal justice, human and health service administrative data in New South Wales (NSW) Australia, this paper explores patterns of police contact and custody for a cohort of Indigenous males with complex needs. Four significant factors are identified that alone or in combination appear to impact on the frequency with which these men experience police contact and custody, including young age at first police contact, experiencing out of home care as a child, alcohol misuse, and limited locational mobility. Whilst it might be expected that the presence of mental ill-health and/or cognitive disability would be a key predictor of the frequency and intensity of police contact and custody, the findings suggest rather that the presence of multiple disadvantages beginning in the early years and compounding throughout individuals' lives, in which mental illness may or may not be a factor, is more significant than the presence of any one diagnosis in precipitating police contact and custody for this group. |
"Chobirico. Jam Institute" - Making jam out of radishes, eggplants, and onions?!?
Choosing ingredients, making jam, packaging, making soda, and running a cafe. All these jobs are completed at Chobirico. Jam Institute by one person, Ms. Sugawara.
The name "Chobirico. Jam Institute" may seem a bit strange to a newcomer, but you’ll soon find out that "Chobirico" is actually Keiko Sugawara's (owner), nickname. Now why the period after Chobirico? It seems that the owner was told by a fortune teller that putting a period in the shop name would bring the shop good fortune and many visitors.
"I used to work in a building in Iwamizawa. But three years ago I rented this old house. With the help of friends we remodeled, and the whole business has moved here." says Ms. Sugawara.
Originally, jam making was just a hobby for Ms. Sugawara, but after buying too many radishes one day, a thought struck her. "If you can make pickled radish by adding salt, can you make radish jam by adding sugar?" After trying her idea out, she realized it wasn't quite that simple. She didn't give up, however, and began to experiment. She added apples and other ingredients to the mix until she found a radish jam that tasted great. Then, she moved on to onion and eggplant jams. Confident in her product she published her results in a blog and soon gained an audience. From these humble beginnings she opened up the "Chobirico. Jam Institute.”
"I think Hokkaido vegetables are really delicious. So if I can make a jam out of radish or zucchini that helps even one person truly appreciate the taste of Hokkaido veggies, I'm really happy."
The main ingredient of each jam is Hokkaido vegetables. Then Hokkaido fruits are added to adjust the flavor. The granulated sugar used is made from Hokkaido beets, with no unnecessary additives added throughout the process. The vegetables used vary depending on the season, but "Radish and Apple," "Onion and Strawberry," and "Onion and Raspberry" jams are available all year.
The "Jam Shop Original Soda" is a carbonated drink made with a jam base. Tastes great on hot summer days, and in winter it can be enjoyed as a hot beverage.
While I was at the shop writing this article, several visitors came in to eat. The shop was just featured on FM radio, so many newcomers stopped by. This child and his mother came in for a bite and I asked them what drew them to the store. The mother answered "In a shop like this, my son and I can eat knowing that the jams are healthy and the products are all safe."
Because jams are made with preservatives, jams bought here can be safely stored for up to one year. However, the color of the jam will degrade over time. Ms. Sugawara told us "If it's possible, I want each customer to eat the freshest, and most delicious, product possible. So if you buy jam to take home, be sure to buy smaller sizes to get the best flavor."
The cafe portion is only open on Fridays and Saturdays, but you can pick up jams at the shop. For more distant costumers, mail order is another way to get your hands on some delicious jam. Be sure to try these unique and tasty jams for yourself! |

python-hypothesis: Retrieving or reformatting a falsifying example
Is it possible to retrieve or reformat the falsifying example after a test failure? The point is to show the example data in a different format - data generated by the strategy is easy to work with in the code but not really user friendly, so I'm looking at how to display it in a different form. Even a post-mortem tool working with the example database would be enough, but there does not seem to be any API allowing that, or am I missing something?
A:
You can call note to record additional information during a test, such as your own custom-formatted copy of the generated inputs.
When Hypothesis finds a falsifying example, it will also print out the notes that were recorded the execution of that particular example.

Study of baicalin on sympathoexcitation induced by myocardial ischemia via P2X3 receptor in superior cervical ganglia.
After the myocardial ischemia, injured myocardial tissues released large quantity of ATP, which activated P2X3 receptor in superior cervical ganglia and made the SCG postganglionic neurons excited. Excitatory of sympathetic postganglionic efferent neurons increased the blood pressure and heart rates, which aggravated the myocardial ischemic injury. Baicalin has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. Our study showed that baicalin reduced the incremental concentration of serum CK-MB, cTn-T, epinephrine and ATP, decreased the up-regulated expression levels of P2X3 mRNA and protein in SCG after MI, and then inhibited the sympathetic excitatory activity triggered by MI injury. These results indicated that baicalin acted on P2X3 receptor was involved in the transmission of sympathetic excitation after the myocardial ischemic injury. Baicalin might decrease sympathetic activity via inhibiting P2X3 receptor in rat SCG to protect the myocardium. |

Ultrastructure of the human palatine tonsil and its functional significance.
The human palatine tonsils represent a mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue with a significant function in mucosal protection against alimentary and airborne pathogens. The ultrastructure of different morphological compartments in the human palatine tonsil was studied in eighteen tonsils obtained from the patients who had undergone elective tonsillectomy due to chronic tonsillitis. The tonsillar specimens were analyzed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed the presence of tight junctions between superficial epithelial cells of the oropharyngeal tonsillar surface. The crypt epithelium is a sponge-like structure infiltrated by non-epithelial cells, mostly lymphocytes, and is characterized by the presence of small pores - microcrypts occupied by large microvillus cells and/or lymphocytes. Antigen-presenting Langerhans cells with typical intracytoplasmic Birbeck granules were also found in the crypt epithelium. The lymphoid follicles are composed of lymphocytes and two types of non-lymphoid follicular cells: small fibroblast-like cells and large cells, morphologically consistent with antigen-bearing follicular dendritic cells or macrophages. The interfollicular areas consisted of a dense network of reticular cells and reticular fibers; many lymphocytes were interspersed between the reticular fibers. In addition to arterioles and high endothelial venules in the interfollicular lymphoid tissue, some fenestrated capillaries were seen intraepithelially and subepithelially. The complex ultrastructure of the human palatine tonsil provides a microenvironment necessary for antigen uptake, antigen processing and immune response. |
Senators unwilling or unable to provide documented proof of their residence are being called on the carpet and forced to explain themselves in a series of meetings with members of the Senate's internal economy committee, CBC News has learned.
Those meetings begin today. It's unclear how many or which senators will be called.
Conservative senators David Tkachuk and Carolyn Stewart Olsen will play the role of interrogator, along with Liberal Percy Downe, the CBC's James Cudmore reported.
The internal economy committee asked all senators last December to prove where they live through drivers licences, health cards and tax filings. The committee is in charge of senators' budgets and administrative matters.
Nothing to be shortcircuited
Senator Mike Duffy said Friday he would repay expenses claimed for his home in Ottawa, explaining he made a mistake in declaring that his primary residence was in Prince Edward Island. Other senators, including Pamela Wallin, Mac Harb, Dennis Patterson and Patrick Brazeau, have faced questions about their expense claims and residency declarations.
Cowan said Monday that paying back the expenses may not be enough, depending on the results of the audit.
"That's not necessarily the end of it, absolutely not. It may be, but it depends on what the audit report says," Cowan said.
Emphasizing that he can't speak for any senator but himself, Cowan said he finds the form filled out by senators to be perfectly clear. If there is something confusing about a form he's filling out, he says, "You ask about it. That's what I do when I don't understand something. I never sign anything that I don't understand."
Cowan says he and LeBreton agree on how the issue of senator expenses should be handled, regardless of party.
"I don't think there's any difference between Senator LeBreton and me on this. We are both determined that this is dealt with fairly, openly, transparently, and nothing's going to be swept under the carpet. Nothing's going to be shortcircuited."
'Unacceptable for any other Canadian'
NDP Leader Tom Mulcair pointed to Duffy's claim that the form senators have to fill out is unclear, and to the fact Wallin has an Ontario health card but tells the Senate she resides in Saskatchewan.
"He says the form is too complicated …She told the federal government that she lived in one province while telling a provincial government that she lived in another. This would be unacceptable for any other Canadian. Why does the prime minister seem to think it's acceptable for his Conservative senators?" Mulcair said.
NDP ethics critic Charlie Angus said EI forms tell applicants that if they misrepresent the facts to make a false claim, they are committing fraud and could be prosecuted.
"So will the government hold senators who break the rules to the same standards they hold unemployed Canadians to?" Angus said.
Government House Leader Peter Van Loan says the government has committed to ensuring expenses and the rules governing them are appropriate, and to reporting publicly about them.
"Senators Patterson, Wallin and Duffy all own property in the provinces and territory they represent. They maintain deep and continuing ties to those regions and in fact three senators all spend considerable time in their home provinces and territory," he said.
"The reality is if you want to see real change in the Senate, if you want to see real change towards an accountable Senate, you need to embrace the Conservative proposal to actually let Canadians have a say who represents them in the Senate. The NDP simply won't do that." |
Research has shown that there is evidence of cannibalism within the species of wolf spider. The study shows that male wolf spiders will occasionally prey on female wolf spiders. The males targeted the older females rather than the younger ones. The research team hypothesize that this behaviour improves the reproductive success of males, as they eat females with a lower reproductive value and mate with females with a higher reproductive success. Update: Males have also been observed killing/ dismembering and occasionally eating other males. This seems to be a territorial act as the limbs are later arranged around the nesting area of the living male. |
Font Families - Serif, Sans-Serif, Monospace, Script, Fantasy
Revival Revival Shirt Mueller Rock T Rock One of the easiest ways to impact the design of a Web page is with the fonts that you use. This guide will help you find the font that works best for your situation.
Sans-serif Fonts are the Basis of Your Site Sans-serif fonts are those fonts that have no "serifs": the little hooks on the end of the letters. If you've taken any print design courses you've probably been told that you should only use sans-serif for headlines. This is not true for the Web. Web pages are intended to be viewed by Web browsers on computer monitors. And computer monitors don't have as good of resolution as paper. This means that when your readers view a page of serif font on the screen, the little serifs make the text harder to read.
Always use sans-serif fonts for your Web page main copy.
Some examples of sans-serif fonts are:
•Arial •GenevaRock Mueller Revival Revival Rock Shirt T •Helvetica •Lucida Sans •Trebuchet •Verdana Verdana is a font family that was actually invented for use on the Web.
Use Serif Fonts for Print While serif fonts are hard to read online, they are perfect for print. If you have print friendly versions of your site, this is the perfect place to use serif fonts. The serifs, in print, make it easier to read, as they allow people to differentiate the letters more clearly. And because print has a higher resolution, they can be seen more clearly and don't appear to blur together.
Some examples of serif fonts are:
•Garamond •GeorgiaRock Mueller Rock Shirt Revival T Revival •New York •Times •Times New Roman Monospace is for Code Examples Even if your site isn't about computing, you can use monospace to provide instructions, give examples, or imply typewritten text. Monospace letters have the same width for each character, so they always take up the same amount of space on the page. Typewriters typically used monospace fonts.
Some examples of monospace fonts are:
•Courier •Courier New •Lucida Console •Monaco Do Not Use Fantasy or Cursive for Body Text
Use fantasy and cursive fonts in images and as headlines. Some examples of fantasy fonts are:
•CopperplateRock T Shirt Mueller Rock Revival Revival •Desdemona •Impact •Kino Impact is the font family most likely to be on Mac, Windows, and Unix machines. |

Hi! I have a question about a guy, help pls?
so I have a guy friend, we were not too close at first, but suddenly he's been showing a lot of signs that shows he likes me (hug me, hold my hand, mock strangling, leaning on my shoulder, and many more). but he told me that he isn't interested in dating as long as he's in college, but whenever we're alone he's always trying to hug me etc, but its clear that he's keeping his distance when everybody else is around. why is that? does he like me? does he even interested in dating me? |
An embodiment relates generally to dual stator electric machines.
Electric machines are typically designed to achieve a specific operating characteristic. For example, electric machines with drag cup rotors have very low inertia properties. Induction machines typically exhibit torque ripple free properties, whereas conventional permanent magnet synchronous machines exhibit high torque to ampere ratios. However, achieving a respective specific operating characteristic typically results in the sacrifice of other operating characteristics. While each of the above examples achieve one of the desired operating characteristics, this is often done at the expense of not obtaining one of the other respective desired operating characteristics. That is, none of the devices described above are capable of exhibiting all of the desired operating characteristics in a single electric machine. |

Q:
How to show a corresponding element from child Component at onClick event in main Component in React?
I'm building my first React project. I have a list that drops down on-hover on my main homepage, inside the drop-down, I'm trying to show specific list details with my child Component. I got the click-to-show function to work, but can't seem to make it work with showing the right corresponding detail (black&white parent should show black&white text description). My current code below:
class Style extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = { showDetail: false };
this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind(this);
}
handleClick() {
this.setState((state) => ({
showDetail: !state.showDetail,
}));
}
render() {
return (
<section className="style">
<div className="style-list">
<p onClick={this.handleClick}>
Black & White</p>
<p onClick={this.handleClick}>
Modern</p>
<p onClick={this.handleClick}>
Old School</p>
</div>
<div className="style-description">
{this.state.showDetail ? <StyleDetail /> : null}
</div>
</section>
class StyleDetail extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<div>
<p id="blackwhite">black&white description text</p>
<p id="modern">modern description text</p>
<p id="oldschool">oldschool description text</p>
</div>
);
}
}
Do I need key values to make this work? Or do I need to declare my corresponding elements as variables? Can't seem to wrap my head around it. Thanks in advance for any help!
From a newbie developer xx
A:
Create a new state to store current style and pass it to the StyleDetail component.
import React from "react";
class Style extends React.Component {

Conventional clothes dryers include a rotating drum into which textiles to be dried are placed. The textiles are dried by forcing heated air through the wet laundry rotating within the drum. Moisture is removed along with the air exiting the dryer or via a condensed water duct.
Conventional clothes dryers have been controlled in various ways. The simplest of these is a timer that controls the duration of the drying cycle. When using a timer, the user places wet laundry inside the dryer and selects the duration for the drying cycle. The dryer cycle then proceeds until the timer expires. Although this method is relatively simple, it is difficult to accurately estimate the length of time required to reach a desired final moisture level, or “dryness,” for every type of textile. If the cycle length is too short, the textiles will not be fully dry at the end of the cycle, and the user must initiate another dryer cycle to finish the drying process. If, on the other hand, the cycle length is too long, the clothes may become “overdry,” which may result in premature textile degradation and/or damage, excess energy consumption, and an associated increase in energy costs. |
Raman spectroscopy is an optical spectroscopy technique, which measures the inelastic scattering, i.e. Raman scattering of monochromatic light by a material to produce a spectrum characteristic of the material. Raman spectroscopy has been demonstrated to be a powerful non-invasive analytical technology for material characterization and identification.
Conventional Raman spectroscopy generally utilizes a well-focused laser beam to produce Raman scattering signal from the sample. This approach has the apparent advantage of relatively high efficiency in Raman signal excitation and collection. However, it also suffers from the following drawbacks. First, only a small volume of the sample is measured. Thus the collected Raman spectrum may not be very representative, especially for some non-uniform samples. Second, the tightly focused laser beam may cause damage to some delicate samples. Third, for diffusely scattering samples which are not transparent to the laser beam, this approach will only measure the Raman scattering signal from the surface layer of the sample. The majority of the material underneath the surface will be almost completely out of reach.
There thus exists a need for an improved light delivery and collection device for performing Raman spectroscopy, which not only allows the measurement of a large area of the sample but also enables sub-surface Raman signal excitation and collection. |
Investigation of sexual dimorphisms through mouse models and hormone/hormone-disruptor treatments.
Sexual dimorphism in mouse reproductive tissues is observable in adult, post-natal, and embryonic stages. The development of sexually dimorphic tissues starts with an ambisexual structure. It is followed by sex-specific organogenesis as guided by different signaling pathways that occur from late embryonic stages. The measurement of the anogenital distance (AGD), and the observation of the external genitalia are practical ways to distinguish male and female pups at birth and thereafter. Careful observation of the morphological or histological features and the molecular signatures of the external genitalia and perineum enable identification of sex or feminization/masculinization of embryos. Aberrations in hormone signaling via castration or treatment with hormones or hormone disruptors result in dysmorphogenesis of reproductive tissues. Several hormone disruptors have been used to modulate different aspects of hormone action through competitive inhibition and exogenous hormone treatment. Concomitantly, the vast advancement of conditional mutant mouse analysis leads to the frequent utilization of Cre recombination technology in the study of reproductive/urogenital tissue development. Mouse Cre-lines that are tissue-specific and cell-specific are also effective tools in identifying the molecular mechanisms during sexually dimorphic development. Cre-lines applicable to different cell populations in the prostate, seminal vesicles, testis and ovaries, and mammary glands are currently being utilized. In the external genitalia and perineum, Cre lines that examine the signaling pathways of cells of endodermal, ectodermal, and mesenchymal origin reveal the roles of these tissues in the development of the external genitalia. The interaction of hormones and growth factors can be examined further through a variety of techniques available for researchers. Such cumulative information about various technologies is summarized. |
Q:
Python equivalent of MATLAB's lsqr() with first argument a function
As per title, I am looking for a Python equivalent of MATLAB's lsqr() (possibly in NumPy / SciPy) when the first argument is a function.
Briefly, lsqr solves numerically for x the following problem:
argmin_x || A*x - b ||_2
where x and b are vectors (of potentially different size) and A is a linear operator.
I believe that for numerical input the equivalent is numpy.linalg.lstsq().
The function scipy.optimize.least_squares() can, in principle, be used for solving the argmin problem, but it seems that it uses a different (and much slower) algorithm internally, which seems unsuited for optimization over relatively large inputs.
I believe that lsqr() internally uses A*x and A'*b and does not require an explicit rappresentation of A.
So, is there an equivalent of MATLAB's lsqr (with first argument a function)?
A:
For large and sparse inputs (which would be the use case for lsqr anyway), the Python / SciPy equivalent of MATLAB's lsqr is:
scipy.sparse.linalg.lsqr()
The first argument of this function can be scipy.sparse.linalg.LinearOperator(), which is a proxy for the linear operator where A*x and A'*b (' is the transpose operator) must be provided as the callable corresponding to matvec and rmatvec (respectively).
This can ultimately be used to compute lsqr where A is not known explicitly.
For example:
def Ax(x):
"""Returns A*x"""
...
def Atb(b):
"""Returns A'*b"""
...
A = scipy.sparse.linalg.LinearOperator((m,n), matvec=Ax, rmatvec=Atb)
result = scipy.sparse.linalg.lsqr(A, b)
Note that both MATLAB and Python documentations of lsqr indicate that A'*x (more precisely A^T x in the case of Python, but with the same meaning) is computed, but this is not (and cannot be) correct.
An important difference exists between Python and MATLAB implementations:
MATLAB: the first argument of afun seems to be x, independently of whether afun(x,'notransp') or afun(x,'transp') is called, and b must be obtained differently.
Python: the first argument is either x or b, depending on whether the A.matvec() or A.rmatvec() (respectively) is called.
(This is based on the very informative answer from @AnderBiguri and scipy.sparse.linalg.lsqr() source code).

This invention relates to data logging systems, and in particular, to systems for logging or registering items of data related to persons or articles. It is particularly, although not exclusively, adapted for use as a classroom roll-taking system, for recording the presence or absence of pupils or students, their test results and other such data.
Various alternative methods of automating the collection of attendance data in schools have previously been proposed, including systems in which pupils are issued with cards which must be inserted in card readers to record attendance, and systems in which specially prepared forms are completed in the classroom, and subsequently inserted into a "optical mark reader" at a central point, to transfer the information into the schools information system.
Both of these systems have specific weaknesses, and in particular, the card reader system is open to abuse by pupils who give their cards to others to make registrations for them, while the "optical mark reader" system suffers from the inherent deficiency of "paper bound" systems, since it requires the completed forms to be physically transferred from the classroom to the school office, wasting staff time and also, of course, giving rise to pupil supervision problems if the teachers themselves are required to deliver the collected data. |
[The outermost enamel layer. A comparative scanning electron microscopic study].
The surface of the enamel layer was scanned in teeth of some representative animal species. We studied the structural organization of enamel at the surface of the teeth and also in subsurface. The surface layer was often described as "aprismatic". But, nevertheless, in mammals, prisms often reach the surface. They are packed together almost perpendicular to the periphery. The term "aprismatic" seems inappropriate. But the surface layer is particular in both a structural, physical and chemical standpoint. Its distribution on the enamel surfaces explains the variability of the etching patterns from an area to another on the same tooth. |
Endgame In Ireland
Ireland is notoriously a turn-off subject for viewers on the mainland, but this illuminating series (by the makers of such monuments of the art as The Death Of Yugoslavia) really should be seen by anyone seeking to make sense of the tortuous phenomenon known as the 'Northern Ireland peace process'.
All the key players and decision makers give first-hand accounts of their involvement: in programme one, Bomb And Ballot Box, they range from Margaret Thatcher and Garret Fitzgerald to loyalist paramilitaries Johnny Adair and Michael Stone, via the endlessly slippery Gerry Adams and Martin McGuin-ness.
Bomb And Ballot Box takes the story as far as the end of Mrs Thatcher's premiership. |
Q:
Encrypt URL to that user cant read that
I have a senerio in what i have to encrypt URL so that user cant read that.
For example i have a url at server side,
http://testserver/admin/read/myvideo.mp3
This url i render in html page so that my javascript can pick it up and pass to my player.
Now the problem is that, any one can see that url from View source of my page.
What i want is to secure that, like i encrypt that at server side before rendering to html and in my java script use the same logic to decrypt it again and send to my player
can any body tell me any engine that works on both side and i dont have to do much work?
EDIT:
I know it will be visible from Fiddler, JS and Fire Bug but not that easy to read as compare to what is right now
A:
Maybe you should consider generating something like one-time urls which get invalid after the first get. That would prohibit sharing that url.

Q:
get data from ajax as an attribute value for callback function
Im new to ajax. I was trying to find the answer but was not lucky to find the corresponsing one. Basically I need to use an ajax to get some data and after that to put this data to the variable that later will be used as an attribute for the callback function with custom code.
This ajax part is just a method of myObject.
So, in the end I need this kind of functionality:
myObject.getData(url, callback(data) {
//my custom code of what I wanna do after ajax is complete
});
My code
/*
HERE COME SOME PROPERTIES AND OTHER METHODS WICH IS NOT THE CASE
*/
//This is where Im stuck
var getData = function getFromUrl($url) {
$.ajax({
type: 'get',
url: $url,
dataType: 'html',
success: function(html) {
$obj = html;//Im lost on this step!
},
});
};
P.S. Im trying to find an async way (without using async:false). Hope its possible
A:
First I encountered many problems. My first problem was No Access-Control-Allow-Origin, most websites dont allow you to just scrap get their data for security reasons. Luckily someone already made a proxy: http://cors.io/ . Second problem is that you cant embed http on https, so I cant use jsfiddle to show you this working, it works on my local enviroment. After you get the raw html you have to parse it, you can do it with full regex, or you can power yourself with jquery like I'm doing on this example. What we're doing is checking stackoverflow.com and getting the amount of featured questions with .find(".bounty-indicator-tab").first().html(); But once you have the full html you can get any data you need.
var getData = function getFromUrl(url) {
$.ajax({
url: 'http://cors.io/?' + url,
crossDomain: true,
dataType: 'html',
success: function (html) {
var match = $(html).find(".bounty-indicator-tab").first().html();
console.log(match);
return match;
},
error: function(e) {
console.log('Error: '+e);
}
});
};
url = 'http://stackoverflow.com/';
data = getData(url);
//You cant use data yet because its working async

You say you want a revolution
The Breaking Light
What happens when a former anarchist becomes director of marketing
at a candy company, and the Christian Right unites at a shareholder
meeting to stand behind the risk-averse, evil head of Finance
who wants to put a stop to the new product, called "Shitballs"?
Not much.
It is unfortunate, because Sander Hicks is a gifted writer.
His poetic language combines the sharp banter of Mamet with the
poetry of Heiner Müller. With guns drawn in the boardroom,
the director of Finance speaks, "The tree of liberty is occasionally
fed with blood."
Hicks's understanding of poetic situation creates an executive
hunting trip in which interviewees for their motivational speaker
slot are shot down if their mental accuity did not keep pace.
The most glaring structural problem is when Fitz, the CEO, is
killed by the hated Leonard. Calculatrice has the perfect opportunity
to turn Leonard into the authorities and take control of the company.
Instead, she incomprehensibly hides the death of Fitz, while Leonard
gathers forces for a full attack on the firm.
The script winds up in an endless Marxist diatribe that seems
naively outdated, and is reminiscent of the worst in '60s political
drama: The rich are bad! The poor must unite!
Words don't change people, concrete action does. And in the final
analysis, no character changes.
Director Siedlecki created a particularly exquisite scene where
the poetry and visuals meet and explode. Calculatrice lies on
a desk in the form of a fallen deer. With a microphone near her
mouth, she intones a poem of the corporate life as hunt. A Kronos
quartet type piece plays as eerie accompaniment. Robert Wilson
and Richard Foreman's visions echo here. It is unfortunate that
there were not more magical moments like this.
SevernClay's set was clean, shiny and sleak - almost
all metal and on wheels. The fashionable black corporate attire
contrasted with the dressed-down blue-collar look in Robin
I. Shane's sleak and stunning costumes.
The sound design by Jennifer Leong--including birds, guns,
and various music--was indeed music to the ears. Though at times
it was hard to hear the actors.
Emme Shaw deftly played the knife-edged Calculatrice.
James Urbaniak managed to make the unlikable Leonard Kildare
endearing. Sean Gullette, Joe Golden, Mark Byrne,
Paul Albe, Daniel Pardo all put in admirable performances.
And Rosemarie Cepeda and Joyce Lee played a couple
of memorable moments as the all-but-forgotten confectioners' union
members, who would rather eat lunch and write a comedy than start
a revolution. Maybe Mr. Hicks should join them.Box Score: |

Q:
Updating all columns of a table
I am using MS Access to connect to a linked Oracle database. I have table B that pulls only certain columns from table A (in the linked DB).
I am trying to execute a macro that runs Query1 to update table B with the data from A that is constantly changing.
The two are not necessarily related by some ID, so the UPDATE TABLE command doesn't seem logical to me. Should I be using JOIN? I just need a place to launch my query from.
A:
Based on the discussion in the comments, it sounds like Table B is simply a "view" on Table A. I am not confident that you need an UPDATE query.
In MS Access, the syntax to create a view is thus:
CREATE VIEW my_view AS
SELECT
col1, col2
FROM
[Table A]

Q:
Why is there ambiguity in this diamond pattern?
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class A { public: void eat(){ cout<<"A";} };
class B: public A { public: void eat(){ cout<<"B";} };
class C: public A { public: void eat(){ cout<<"C";} };
class D: public B,C { public: void eat(){ cout<<"D";} };
int main(){
A *a = new D();
a->eat();
}
I am not sure this is called diamond problem or not, but why doesn't this work?
I have given the defination for eat() for D. So, it doesn't need to use either B's or C's copy (so, there should be no problem).
When I said, a->eat() (remember eat() is not virtual), there is only one possible eat() to call, that of A.
Why then, do I get this error:
'A' is an ambiguous base of 'D'
What exactly does A *a = new D(); mean to the compiler??
and
Why does the same problem not occur when I use D *d = new D();?
A:
The diamond results in TWO instances of A in the D object, and it is ambiguous which one you are referring to - you need to use virtual inheritance to solve this:
class B: virtual public A { public: void eat(){ cout<<"B";} };
class C: virtual public A { public: void eat(){ cout<<"C";} };
assuming that you actually only wanted one instance. I also assume you really meant:
class D: public B, public C { public: void eat(){ cout<<"D";} };
A:
Imagine a slightly different scenario
class A { protected: int a; public: void eat(){ a++; cout<<a;} };
class B: public A { public: void eat(){ cout<<a;} };
class C: public A { public: void eat(){ cout<<a;} };
class D: public B,C { public: void eat(){ cout<<"D";} };
int main(){
A *a = new D();
a->eat();
}
If this would work, would it increment the a in B or the a in C? That's why it's ambiguous. The this pointer and any non-static data member is distinct for the two A subobjects (one of which is contained by the B subobject, and the other by the C subobject). Try changing your code like this and it will work (in that it compiles and prints "A")
class A { public: void eat(){ cout<<"A";} };
class B: public A { public: void eat(){ cout<<"B";} };
class C: public A { public: void eat(){ cout<<"C";} };
class D: public B, public C { public: void eat(){ cout<<"D";} };
int main(){
A *a = static_cast<B*>(new D());
// A *a = static_cast<C*>(new D());
a->eat();
}
That will call eat on the A subobject of B and C respectively.

Welcome to the FJC Big O. Your's is a tough question as FJ makes, and has made, so many great shoes. Of the current offerings, the Dry Joy Tour is my personal favorite. The DJT offers fantastic traction and classic style, especially in their saddle style. The XPS-! offers the best traction I've found and the FJ Sport was lightweight, had a firm sole and great traction. the BOA lacing system is awesome and I have a pair of black ICON BOA that is my favorite shoe to wear with slacks.
Thank you and great answer. I love the BOA system and I hope that FootJoy offers it in many more models in the future. The BOA system is immensely popular here in Japan and my last two FJ shoe purchases have had the BOA system (M Project and EXL- Japanese model). I'm looking forward to ordering a set of MyJoys ICON BOA in the near future. I like to keep it classic though, although I love the pimped out purple base with purple croc skin, I like the traditional Black with white accent. I can pretty much wear those with anything. |
Q:
Guard statement with two conditions in Swift
My understanding is that having two conditions in a guard statement separated by a comma functions imposes the requirement that they both be true. I can write a guard statement with either one independently and the code compiles but when I combine them with a comma, it gives an error. Is there anything wrong with my syntax or can anyone explain why it fails to compile?
guard (mode != "mapme") else { //compiles
}
guard (!annotation is MKUserLocation) else { //compiles
}
guard (mode != "mapme",!(annotation is MKUserLocation)) else { //gives error:'(Bool, Bool)' is not convertible to 'Bool'
}
A:
You are using too many pointless parentheses, basically don't use parentheses in if and guard statements in simple expressions.
The error occurs because the compiler treats the enclosing parentheses as tuple ((Bool, Bool)), that's what the error message says.
guard mode != "mapme" else {
guard !(annotation is MKUserLocation) else { // here the parentheses are useful but the `!` must be outside of the expression
guard mode != "mapme", !(annotation is MKUserLocation) else {

CHALLENGES OF A RELATIONSHIP
WHAT IT TAKES TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP
Relationship are of different kinds and this includes that of a mother, father to children, boys and girls, husband and wife, friends to friends, relationship in the church with other members, the clergy and relationship at work with colleagues. Every relationship has its own challenges and in reality, challenge are like someone trying to calculate mathematics and having a test on English, but the result of the calculation and test is what really counts. whatever the case or situation we find ourselves, we should understand that life is full of challenges and there are various kinds of challenges e.g challenges in marriage, parenting, life challenges, social issues or challenges. We need to understand that we humans cannot occupy a space like a home or office without transgressing and having problems with others sometimes, that is why families, work places, churches, schools and neighborhoods. The relationship between a mother and a child could be very challenging especially when the kids are growing up and when they become teenagers.
In reality relationships are tough, hard sometimes due to the situations and challenges that comes with it. It is unfortunate that we all have gone through life situations one way or another and sometimes we might hurt or be hurt due to this circumstances, we always want better relationship, despite that have received many relational injuries, either at work or at home, with friends and acquaintances. We have all one way or the other insulted or injured our parents , siblings, spouse , children and a lot of other people by causing them pain which we kind of regret when we look back. The good thing is that with every challenge comes forgiveness. We have to forgive and forget the past and that is the only way we can overcome some life challenges . The result for challenges and forgiveness is simply a decision to let go of our regrets and views, so getting rid of your partner does not get rid of the problem you have , because half of the “problem” is yours . You can walk out on your relationship, but you can’t run away from yourself, no matter how hard you try! Rather than blaming each other, couples can learn how to work as a team and coach each other through the troubled and struggling times.
In order to avoid any kind of regrets or challenges in a relationship we must :
Learn to forgive others
Learn to deal with physical distance in marriage
we must try to resolve what ever conflict we have .sleepless nights,headaches,stomach pain can all result from unresolved conflict at work
try not to work too hard, so that your kids will not miss you and you will see them often
No matter what situation you find yourself into,you must learn to love your partner.
Create better relationship at work
build the best relationship with our children as parents
Be as liberal as possible
patience could be a source of a very good relationship with kids and anybody |
Health Food Packaging And Its Feature Which Makes It Different From Normal Packaging
Introduction: Health food industry is one of the fast-growing industries at present. Health food packaging is most important part of the food industry. It is not packed in the proper manner will leave a bad impression on consumers as well the quality of food will get impacted. It is always necessary to use proper Food Bagging Machine to avoid such situation.
Features offered by Food Bagging Machine: Foods are generally packed in bags or pouches and to maintain their freshness it is important to seal it properly for use. There are so many types of food bagging machine like semi-automatic or automatic Bagging Machine.
Proper seal: These automatic machines do proper sealing of the food products which avoid the leakage and damages to the products. Bagging machines do all packing job perfectly to protect the food kept inside the packet.
Maintains the nutrition: Proper bagging helps in keeping the food product fresh and maintain the nutrition of the product until the packet is not opened.
Easy usage: These bagging machines are easy in use and no particular knowledge is required. Any person can operate bagging machine. These machines are capable of doing all the process in one go. Once labor needs to watch the all the operating process carefully and next time he is able to operate the machine.
Saves time and money: Once companies have invested in this bagging machine than there is no need of reinvestment of money in other machines and in one go machine does all the bagging process without any harm and delay. In a fraction of second, food will be packed perfectly.
Improves production: Bagging machines requires one or two labors to operate it so other labors can do different work and it takes less time in packing the food products and improves the production of the factory and utilizes the productivity of the labor.
Require less space: Bagging machines are not huge. They require less space to keep it and their maintenance charges are low and budget friendly. As per the need and space machine can be selected.
Summary: As per the required food companies can buy the bagging machines and of course, the budget is a major concern so need not to worry bagging machines are nominal and it is a one-time investment for the business and gives a long-term return. You may find these bagging machines at local store also online. Before buying you need to check these feature as per the usage and can place an order. These machines are very efficient and cost-effective in nature. They are in huge demand these days because of its benefits provided to the food industry. |
Q:
Gamecenter Leaderboard Done Button with Swift using SpriteKit not working
I am currently working on my first iOS Game using Swift. Unfortunately I am having more problems implementing Gamecenter than with anything else so far.
After figuring out how to make the leaderboard pop up and save highscores I bumped in my next problem:
How can I make the "Done"-button work? If I press it nothing happens.
First of all my code:
GameViewController.swift:
import GameKit
....
override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() {
let skView = self.view as SKView
skView.ignoresSiblingOrder = true
let scene = GameScene.sceneWithSize(skView.bounds.size)
scene.scaleMode = .AspectFill
skView.presentScene(scene)
authenticateLocalPlayer()
}
func authenticateLocalPlayer(){
var localPlayer = GKLocalPlayer()
println(localPlayer)
localPlayer.authenticateHandler = {(viewController, error) -> Void in
if ((viewController) != nil) {
self.presentViewController(viewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}else{
println((GKLocalPlayer.localPlayer().authenticated))
}
}
}
GameScene.swift:
import GameKit
....
override func touchesBegan(touches: NSSet, withEvent event: UIEvent) {
var touch:UITouch = touches.anyObject() as UITouch
var location:CGPoint = touch.locationInNode(self)
if gameCenterRect.contains(location) {
var vc = self.view?.window?.rootViewController
var gc = GKGameCenterViewController()
vc?.presentViewController(gc, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
func saveHighscore(score:Int){
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setObject(score, forKey: "kHighscore")
if GKLocalPlayer.localPlayer().authenticated {
var scoreReporter = GKScore(leaderboardIdentifier: "LEADERBOARD_ID")
scoreReporter.value = Int64(self.highscore)
var scoreArray: [GKScore] = [scoreReporter]
//println("report score \(scoreReporter)")
GKScore.reportScores(scoreArray, {(error : NSError!) -> Void in
if error != nil {
println("error")
//NSLog(error.localizedDescription)
}
})
}
}
Where do I have to add something to my code to get back?
A:
you have to add this lines to your game scene:
class GameScene: SKScene, SKPhysicsContactDelegate,UIGestureRecognizerDelegate, GKGameCenterControllerDelegate{
func gameCenterViewControllerDidFinish(gameCenterViewController: GKGameCenterViewController!)
{
gameCenterViewController.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
and fix this
if gameCenterRect.contains(location) {
var vc = self.view?.window?.rootViewController
var gc = GKGameCenterViewController()
gc.gameCenterDelegate = self
vc?.presentViewController(gc, animated: true, completion: nil)
}

Mesino-antimesino oscillations
The phenomenology of supersymmetric theories with low scale supersymmetry breaking and a squark as the lightest standard model superpartner are investigated. Such squarks hadronize with light quarks, forming sbaryons and mesinos before decaying. Production of these supersymmetric bound states at a high energy collider can lead to displaced jets with large negative impact parameters. Neutral mesino-antimesino oscillations are not forbidden by any symmetry and can occur at observable rates. Stop mesino-antimesino oscillations would give a sensitive probe of up-type sflavor violation, and can provide a discovery channel for supersymmetry through events with a same-sign top-top topology. |

Ever make changes to a client’s website – whether to the stylesheet or the jQuery powering the site – then send a link and ask them to refresh? It happens a fair amount for clients that love to see fresh changes. And it happens here in the Focus97 kingdom as well. I make changes to…
The short answer leans closer and closer to “bad” as the years move on. But I’ll explain…
From the perspective of a photographer and graphic designer, there are a number things to be said about HTML vs. Flash.
The Pros: dynamic aesthetics are under full control by the programmer (with HTML, you’re limited to static pages, for the most part). The Cons: Google (or Yahoo, MSN, Ask.com, etc.) doesn’t recognize anything inside Flash, it simply recognizes the Flash object itself. With HTML pages, Google will recognize all the jpegs and text, and index it that way. |
Ceramic amplifierThe realization of this project is related to the 600th anniversary of Polish-Turkish diplomacy. Partner: Potters’ Association in Menemen.The natural sound amplifier dedicated for smartphones. The amplifier was designed so that one can make it using a potter’s wheel. The craftsmen of Menemen have been using this technique for centuries. The product is designed to be a home item and an alternative to electric speakers. Earthenware is a very good material for acoustics, therefore the sound coming out of the speaker remains at decent quality. |

Q:
javascript: Behavior of variables in base object with inheritance
function Resource(){
var id = '';
this.getId = function(){
return id;
}
this.setId = function(value){
id = value;
}
}
function Model(){ }
Model.prototype = new Resource();
To test the above code, I have the following:
var m1 = new Model();
m1.setId("blah");
alert("m1 = " + m1.getId());
var m2 = new Model();
m2.setId("blahblah");
alert("m2 = " + m2.getId());
alert("m1 = " + m1.getId());
I would expect the following to be alerted: m1 = blah, m2 = blahblah, m1 = blah.
However, the following is being displayed: m1 = blah, m2 = blahblah, m1 = blahblah.
I have written the above code as an experiment so that I can begin to understand inheritance in JavaScript. Perhaps my expectation of what should be displayed is due to my Java/C# background. Clearly each new Model object created shares the same id variable defined in Resource. Why is this?
How can I write this so that each new Model can have its own unique id (other than the obvious - defining in within Model)?
BTW, I have purposely definted id as var id rather than this.id, as I am looking for the private-variable behavior.
A:
A prototype object is shared among all instances.
Because the id variable belongs to the Resource constructor, and because the prototype of Model is that single instance of Resource, all the Model instances are using that single instance, and therefore the same variable.
For each Model instance to have its own id variable, you'll need to create the id variable in the Model constructor, as well as the accessor methods.
function Model() {
var id = '';
this.getId = function(){
return id;
}
this.setId = function(value){
id = value;
}
}
Another way to accomplish this is to invoke Resource using the Model instances as the context. This is done using .call or .apply like this:
function Model() {
Resource.apply(this);
}
This will invoke the Resource function, which will create the id variable and its accessor methods, but the accessors will be assigned to the Model instance.

Re: Multiple version of NX with teamcenter
In my company, users have admin rights, so the solution works well for us. I doubt it will work for companies where users do not have admin rights. Of course, that can be mitigated by providing a group policy against that registry key which allows write access.The main point is that all the settings to enable multiple clients to be launched from the same machine are all in a single file and not spread out. No additional files required. |
Heavier outboard engines usually are permanently mounted to the transom of the boat. In many cases it is not desirable to mount the ski line bracket to the outboard engine. Boats with inboard engines also benefit from a ski line bracket. |

Despite near everyone claiming how omeg scary they were, I saw both and pretty much was bored to death through PA while I wanted to crack up laughing through Insidious. The people actually getting scared in the theatre during Insidious just made me laugh even more.
Well, I would like to formally apologize for everyone in the world that was scared by either of those films. We are all sorry that you are so steely nerved that nothing can shake you and the rest of us do have moments where films can scare us. We bow down to your iron fisted resolve in not being scared...protect us?
Sure those movies aren't over the top, shit your pants scary through and through. But, there are a few moments in both of them that I did jump and wonder WTF!!!
One that would come to mind for me is 'The Descent'. It was okay, but I don't see how it's in any way, shape or form 'revolutionary' for the horror genre. It isn't the first time that a horror film has had an all specific gender cast, and it won't be the last.
I think The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is overrated. The original has hardly any gore and it's actually tame compared to other films around in the 70s, yet they banned it anyway. Its sequels are way more gory. |
I'm trying to watch today, and I'm just not into it. And I realize I say it ad nauseum, but Alison Sweeney is just terrible. Some days are worse than others, and today was a worse day. But I am loling at her not being able to decide how she's going to pronounce "aunt." I'm really being pulled away from this show because very few of the relationships and rivalries feel real.
LOL - yes. She went through like three variations of ant, auntie, ahnt, etc. And what did you think of her acting standing in the background as Gabi spoke with her mother? It just looked like all this pantomiming to me. With very loud, broad "What? What is she saying? What is going on? Huh? what?" gestures. Like bad elementary-school play acting. I lol'ed so hard - nice comic relief, that one provides - not sure how intentional the funnies are though. |

Asian Americans in Higher Education: Charting New Realities
The Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) population continues to obfuscate the discourse on diversity and higher education institutions. The historical and contemporary experiences of AAPIs in higher education clearly indicate that their presence has influenced and reinforced the importance of diversity in educational environments. Please join us for this HEC brownbag to hear from the authors and to celebrate the release of a new ASHE monograph, entitled Asian Americans in Higher Education: Charting New Realities. The monograph provides:• A historical overview of the “model minority” stereotype• The affirmative action debate and AAPIs• Their involvement in the education pipeline• A discussion of their experiences in college.Implications for future research, practice, and policy are further discussed. Educators, administrators, faculty, policy makers, and researchers who are concerned with diversity issues and the AAPI population will find this monograph an engaging and valuable resource. SPONSORED BY THE HIGHER EDUCATION COLLABORATIVE SEMINAR SERIES, SUPPORTED BY THE TIMPONE FAMILY ENDOWMENT FUND. |
