Groom abandons bride at RCCG church for being pregnant On Saturday, 22nd February, a groom called off his wedding after the Redeemed Christian Church of God RCCG that was supposed to wed them conducted a pregnancy test and it came out positive. After keeping guests waiting for about two hours the groom came out and announced to the astonished guests that he was no longer interested in the marriage.The bride, Cynthia who insisted she was not pregnant did another pregnancy test in a different hospital which came out negative. The church did a second test with their own doctor and again their own test came out positive again.The groom said he had never slept with the girl hence he couldn’t go on with the wedding.Despite the wedding being called off, guests still sat down to eat and drink and even pack souvenirs.To make things even more interesting, the groom’s family went on to pack the wedding cake, wine and other drinks as well as souvenirs even though those things were paid for by the bride’s family.All this time the poor bride, still in her wedding gown kept crying and insisting she wasn’t pregnant.
The corvette is among the smallest naval class vessel to be deployed on the Dystopian seas. Stripped down to the bare essentials they are small and agile allowing superior tacticians to effectively use them to speed into battle, whether it be to initiate a swift first strike or to distract enemy fire! Federated States of America - Revere Class Corvette The Federated States of America initially scrapped their plans for such a small fighting ship. It was decided that the resources required to produce a steam vessel with such an undersized presence amongst a fleet could be better spent elsewhere. However, after reviewing a design by a relatively unknown engineer who’s inspired patriotism had lead him and a small team to create a small, easy to produce steam vessel that did not require a dockyard to build the FSA gave the go-ahead for the corvette. Kingdom of Britannia - Swift Class Corvette The Britannian Corvette’s initial design was that of a short range scouting vessel. After earning its stripes in a number of sorties and rescue missions however the ship’s build profile was upgraded to accommodate a fore turret and improved armour surrounding the magazine which is positioned directly below the gun itself. Some distinct features remain however, such as the starboard searchlight and more civilian looking cabin. Prussian Empire - Saxony Class Corvette The Prussian Corvette was designed from the very beginning to be an effective small fighter. Additional armour was later added to the bow but other than that its profile is identical to that of the blue-prints that gave birth to it. It is a welcome sight for crews of Prussian fleet ships immersed in the heat of battle as it races alongside to support its fellow naval vessels. Empire of the Blazing - Fujin Class Corvette The Blazing Sun Corvette is a prototype vessel that comes with an unfortunate reputation of being unstable as a fighting ship. Additional armour and shielding were added to the bow to deflect fire away from the exposed front and mid-section which proved to have plating too thin to stand up to incoming projectiles designed for penetration. It is not unknown for these vessels to be seen exploding on the distant horizon. Their crews however remain ever loyal to their cause. The ship’s saving grace is its ease to manufacture and the shear speeds that can be achieved by the vessel once it has built up some momentum! Covenant of Antarctica - Thales Class Corvette The Thales was a continuation of the design presented by the Diogenes Frigate, a ship built with aesthetics more in mind that practicality. The inventors and scientists of the Covenant of Antarctica, lacking the utilitarian push of a unified military doctrine give their vessels character first and practicality second. This approach did give rise to the nature mimicking small vessels and the speed boost provided by their streamlined shape. The Thales is a prime example of this, with its weapon housed in its swept back brackets, it retains the deadly speed of its counterparts by sacrificing the versatility of its main weapon. This reduced the Thales to a niche role in fast attack and patrol, but it was a welcome addition to the waters surrounding the Antarctican continent.
Displacement current on purple membrane fragments oriented in a suspension. The displacement current is measured in a suspension of electric field-oriented purple membranes isolated from Halobacterium halobium, the photocycle being driven by a light flash. A simple quantitative theory of the method is presented and used to evaluate the distances the protons move during their way through the bacteriorhodopsin molecules. A lower limit of the velocity of proton movement is also given.

Q: WPF Immediate binding to all TabControl TabItems I am currently running into an issue where I want all of my tabs to be immediately bound to my ViewModel. For some reason, it seems that WPF doesn't bind my other TabItem's until I select them for the first time. I am eager for a solution in this because I have validation on those others tabs. Until the binding occurs on those other tabs, my app thinks everything is valid when it isnt. If it helps, I am using FluentValidation for my validation. I have tried using someone's TabControlEx to see if that would help me but it doesn't. I also tried to cycle through all the tabs after I load the data to force the binding but that didn't always work on slower devices. I am not a fan of this solution either. A: I don't know why you are being voted down, seems like a valid question, but you will still get a vague answer, due to the nature of the TabControl: The default style for WPF TabControl only contains a single ContentControl which is used for displaying all tabs. Thus, the visual tree representing a tabs content is created on demand; and tears down to be replaced with a new visual tree when the content/tab switches. The common issue here, is that switching between tabs becomes slow, and thus there are a couple of solutions out there: Binding to ItemsSource of TabControl in WPF https://github.com/ButchersBoy/Dragablz However, what happens with the solutions is that ContentPresenters are cached...but they still wont be created until a user first hits the tab. Thus, you will still have the same issue. Thus you need some sort of architectural change. You need your set of view models to be validated from a trigger in code, on initial startup. Waiting for the tab control to render items just isn't going to work for you. You probably need to bubble the error up in your view model hierarchy to display in the TabItem.Header or in the window itself; perhaps you might have a MainWindowViewModel where you can display a top level error.
Sexual dysfunction is a common problem afflicting men and women of all ages, genders, and races. Erectile dysfunction is a serious condition for many males, and it may include a variety of problems. Some of these problems include the inability to create an erection, incomplete erections and brief erectile periods. Sexual dysfunction in females may also affect the performance of erectile tissues, such as clitoris. These conditions may be associated with nervous system disorders, and may be caused by aging, injury, or illness. In some cases, erectile dysfunction can be attributed to improper nerve activity that incompletely stimulates the penis or female erectile tissue. For example, stimulation from the brain during arousal and sexual activity is responsible for activating erectile tissue. With respect to erectile disorders, the problem may be a lack of sufficient stimulation from the brain, or a break in communication of the stimulation. Erectile disorders may additionally or alternatively involve dysfunctional parasympathetic function that can be attributed to many factors including illness or injury. Methods for treating erectile dysfunction include pharmaceutical treatment and electrical stimulation. Delivery of electrical stimulation to nerves running through the pelvic floor may provide an effective therapy for many patients. For example, an implantable neurostimulator may be provided to deliver electrical stimulation to the pudendal or cavernous nerves to activate erectile tissue, e.g., induce an erection in males.
Q: Making recyclerview fill entire page I have a page that has a custom recyclerview. I want items I add to the recyclerview to pop up in a list. App was working just fine before I updated my AppCompact library. But essentially, I had anchored my FAB to a Coordinator layout, but I got an IllegalStateException and to resolve that, I had to anchor it to one of the Coordinator layout's children. I picked the recyclerview. But the problem now is that the recycler view does not fill the entire page. It only shows one item (I can scroll through them) but they only take up the space of one - like viewing one at a time. How do I make the layout work like it did before the update? This is my xml: <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" android:gravity="center" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <!--<include layout="@layout/base_toolbar"/>--> <android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout android:id="@+id/myCoordinatorLayout" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:gravity="center" android:layout_height="match_parent" > <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/reminderEmptyView" android:orientation="vertical" android:gravity="center" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <ImageView android:src="@drawable/empty_view_bg" android:layout_width="100dp" android:layout_height="100dp"/> <TextView android:text="Nothing added yet" android:textColor="@color/secondary_text" android:textSize="16sp" android:paddingTop="4dp" android:paddingBottom="8dp" android:gravity="center" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"/> </LinearLayout> <!--<include layout="@layout/base_toolbar"/>--> <!--</android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>--> <apps.todo.Utility.RecyclerViewEmptySupport app:layout_behavior="@string/appbar_scrolling_view_behavior" android:id="@+id/toDoRecyclerView" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"/> <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionBut A: You probably don't need that parent LinearLayout. Just copy xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" These into your CoordinatorLayout. Then remove gravity from your Coordinator Layout and change your FloatingActionButton to: <android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton android:src="@drawable/ic_add_white_24dp" android:id="@+id/addToDoItemFAB" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_margin="16dp" android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"/> This fixes the connection between your RecyclerView and FAB.

Q: Going around finding a signature used in a .APK file So I've decompiled an APK and I believe that I have now is the source code (most with a bunch of random variables and method names, but from what I've read this is completely normal) the app in question uses a signature in the registration request that changes everytime, this signature is not received from any request preceding it so I assume the only way to find out how this is being generated is through the APK. Do you guys have any direction on where exactly I should be looking? A: The signature is likely a hash based on some string value and the current date (potentially milliseconds since the epoch). This question is impossible to answer without the source code, but try looking in the code for any references to constant string values and references to Time() or Calendar().
Working towards an inclusive curriculum. The move towards an inclusive model of education presents teachers with the difficulty of differentiating the curriculum for children with speech, language and communication impairments. This paper focuses on the 'WiSaLT Curriculum Appendix'-a tool which can be used by teachers and speech and language therapists to help such children access the mainstream curriculum and to promote improvement in their language and communication skills. As well as highlighting potential areas of difficulty within each attainment target for key stage one, the appendix guides users to specific strategies and activities. Thus the speech and language therapist and teacher can identify which attainment targets might prove problematic for any one child and also have access to ideas which can help.
Hereditary abductor vocal cord paralysis. Familial bilateral abductor cord paralysis was described in the father and two sons of a family in which the ramaining siblings (obe boy and three girls) were normal. The onset of stridor ranged from six months to nine years after birth in these patients who were all treated with a tracheostomy. Normal development and intelligence was experienced by all three patients. Since previous reports of hereditary abductor cord paralysis described mental retardation in all patients who were maintained without tracheostomy, anoxia from unrelieved laryngeal obstruction may be a significant complication following nonsurgical management of patients who appear to tolerate bilateral abductor vocal cord paralysis.

[unreadable] Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common severe autosomal recessive disease in Caucasian individuals. CF is characterized by an imbalance in the movement of salt and water across the airway surface, such that the overlying mucus layer becomes dehydrated, collapses onto the airway wall, and fails to be cleared from the airways. This impaired mucus clearance leads to chronic infection and airways obstruction, and ultimately causes respiratory failure leading to premature death or lung transplantation. Sodium absorption through the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC), which establishes an osmotic driving force for the absorption of airway surface liquid (ASL), is abnormally high in CF patients for unknown reasons. Furthermore, when the activity of ENaC is inhibited in CF, the ASL becomes hydrated and mucus clearance improves. Our preliminary work suggests that imbalances between proteases, which activate the channel, and endogenous protease inhibitors on the luminal airway surface causes sodium hyperabsorption in CF airways. The goal of this K08 application is to provide the PI with essential skills to develop into a successful academic physician and achieve independent scientific investigator status with a focus on airway physiology as it relates to CF. The PI will focus upon the regulation of airway surface liquid volume by ENaC in normal and CF airway epithelium. The primary scientific aims of this proposal are to (i) define the role of the protease/protease inhibitor balance in the physiological regulation of ENaC and ASL depth, (ii) determine which channel activating proteases and protease inhibitors are involved in the regulation of ENaC in the airway, and (iii) define the mechanism by which proteolytic processing of ENaC is altered in CF. To achieve his goal and complete these aims the PI will combine focused graduate course work with state-of-the-art laboratory methods to delineate the electrophysiology and biochemistry of ENaC in primary human airway epithelial cells and relevant heterologous expression systems. Understanding the nature of proteolytic regulation of ENaC activity in normal and diseased airways will ultimately direct the development of novel therapies to mitigate sodium hyperabsorption and thereby restore normal ASL volume and mucus clearance in CF airways.

Just like humans, fruit flies have to eat a balanced diet. "They need sugar to survive, they need amino acids to make eggs, to have stem cells proliferate. They need salt, they need vitamins." Carlos Ribeiro, a neuroscientist at the Champalimaud Center in Portugal. Yeast, he says, is a crucial component of the fly diet. "I always say, yeast is the steak of the fly." Take yeast away, and the flies crave it—gotta make those eggs. Ribeiro and his team found they could also elicit that yearning for yeast simply by removing a few key amino acids from the flies' diet—but only in those flies that had their gut microbiome wiped out. Here’s the twist: when Ribeiro and his colleagues restored the standard fly gut microbiome, amino-acid-deprived flies did not seek out yeast to compensate. That might seem like the gut microbes are actually working against the flies' best interest—blocking their instincts to seek out missing nutrients. But what actually happened, Ribeiro says, is that flies with the gut microbes maintained good egg production despite their nutritional deficiency. Suggesting that somehow, microbes help the flies adapt to nutrient-poor conditions. "So somehow the microbes reprogram the metabolism of the fly to now cope better with an absence of amino acids in the diet. And that might also lead then to the fly not having to produce a strong craving for amino acids." The study is in the journal PLoS Biology. [Ricardo Leitão-Gonçalves et al., Commensal bacteria and essential amino acids control food choice behavior and reproduction] Of course, flies are not humans. But still, Ribeiro says, "I think there is now more and more compelling evidence that the microbes in the gut, also of humans, affect behavior, mood and stress, and maybe even, people propose, some diseases. But how microbes do so and why they would do so is completely unclear." Still: next time you're staring at a menu, undecided on what to order…you might try just going with your gut. —Christopher Intagliata [The above text is a transcript of this podcast.]

A small percentage of Windows users are unable to use the Stencyl launcher (Stencyl.exe) for reasons that elude us. To be clear, this is a fault of the launcher, not with Stencyl itself. We'd like to resolve this issue but need your help in testing a solution. Attached is a new launcher (EXE). Just dump it into your Stencyl install directory and replace the existing Stencyl.exe. Regardless of whether the old launcher worked or not, let us know if this new launcher works for you, and tell us what flavor of Windows you are on. If the old launcher did not work, please mention that too - we want to make this work for everybody, but we need followup to deliver the right fix. --- [Updated on Wednesday, April 25th due to some AV software mistakenly flagging the launcher as a virus. I switched back to the old launcher generator and changed some fields to make it work. Please help us test this!]
Is there a role for dose-intensive chemotherapy with stem cell rescue in breast cancer? Over the past decade, high-dose chemotherapy with autologous bone marrow and/or peripheral blood rescue has been increasingly used to treat women with breast cancer. Laboratory and clinical studies have shown that dose intensity may be important in treating selected patients with breast cancer. Initial phase I studies showed good response rates of short durations. Further trials in metastatic disease with high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell rescue earlier in the treatment course had been encouraging. However, the optimal timing of high-dose chemotherapy remains a question. In addition, randomized trials in high-risk early-stage breast cancer have completed accrual. Technologic improvements in stem cell procurement and hematopoietic growth factors have contributed to decreased morbidity and mortality. This review will discuss the role of such therapy in the treatment of women with breast cancer.
Fair Fish sold at the right price: accessible to the consumer, but also providing fair payment to the fish workers. Fish caught by artisanal and honest fishermen. We must help them keep the sector sustainable and resist pressure from industrial and pirate fishing. Fish that has not been subjected to cruel practices, such as cutting off a shark’s fin then throwing the animal back in the water. As things currently stand, it is very difficult for consumers to assess the ethical aspect of a product such as fish. Probably in the future a more efficient system of traceability and greater transparency will help us orient ourselves better. Knowing and choosing the origin of the fish that we eat (place of origin, fishing or farming techniques) will allow us not only to ensure the survival of species, but also boycott questionable practices, like foreign ships overfishing the waters that should be providing daily food to whole populations, as is happening along the coast of West Africa.
Classification of large vessel vasculitis: Can we separate giant cell arteritis from Takayasu arteritis? The two main variants of large vessel vasculitis include Takayasu arteritis and giant cell arteritis. While these two conditions have historically been considered different conditions, recent evidence questions whether they are a spectrum of the same disease. Classification criteria are limited in distinguishing between cases with phenotypic overlap. The limitations of the current criteria and directions of future research are reviewed.

[Autologous stem cell transplantation in a patient with diffuse systemic sclerosis]. Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is a systemic disease of unknown etiology presenting with disseminated skin thickening and fibrotic impairment of various organs including lung and kidney. According to the rate and degree of skin involvement, SSc can be classified in a limited and a diffuse form, the latter showing a severe and progressive lung involvement, which is responsible for its high related morbidity and mortality along with resistance to standard therapeutic protocols. High dose chemotherapy, followed by autologous stem cell transplantation, is a standard therapeutic regimen for haematological diseases: re-infusion of mobilised peripheral blood progenitor cells overcomes the myeloablative effect of super-maximal eradicative doses of chemotherapeutic agents. Recently, this therapeutic approach has been applied in some cases of resistant SSc and, albeit the low number of cases, it has been proven effective in early diagnosed and rapidly progressive forms of the disease showing a clinical improvement and an instrumentally detectable decrease of fibrosis extent. We report the case of a young woman affected by diffuse SSc with a rapid progression of clinical signs and instrumentally detectable lesions who underwent a conditioning regimen with fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and anti-thymoglobulines followed by re-infusion of autologous peripheral blood stem cells. Two years after transplantation a clinical and instrumental evidence of treatment was observed, with good control of disease evolution. The only sign of disease resumption was a slow worsening of skin involvement.

The present development relates to an intelligent self-determining input/output (I/O) device and to an industrial automation control system including same. Industrial automation control systems comprise an industrial controller, which is a special purpose computer used for controlling industrial processes and manufacturing equipment on a real-time basis. Under the direction of a stored program, the industrial controller examines a set of inputs reflecting the status of the controlled process and changes a set of outputs controlling the industrial process. The inputs and outputs may be binary or analog. Typically, analog signals are converted to binary data for processing. Industrial controllers differ from conventional computers in that their hardware configurations vary significantly from application to application reflecting their wide range of uses. This variability is accommodated by constructing the industrial controller on a modular basis having removable input and output (I/O) modules that may accommodate different numbers of input and output points depending on the process being controlled. The need to connect the I/O modules to different pieces of machinery that may be spatially separated has led to the development of distributed I/O systems that take a variety of forms. In one example, a single discrete or “block” I/O module is located where desired. The block I/O module contains digital or analog I/O circuits, a built-in power supply, and a built-in network adapter for communicating with the industrial controller. In another example, the distributed I/O installation is modular in the sense that a single network adapter module is connected to the data network, and one or more I/O modules, as needed, are connected to the adapter module for communication with the industrial controller through the single network adapter module. One drawback associated with known industrial automation control systems is that the I/O modules and associated adapter modules must be supplied in numerous different configurations in terms of the electrical connectors, the internal digital/analog I/O circuitry, the enclosure ratings, and the like. As such, it has been deemed desirable to provide an I/O module that functions in both a “block” or stand-alone mode, as well as in a modular mode. This, then, eliminates the need to provide I/O devices in both the block I/O and modular I/O embodiments.

There was a "prominent" moon, along with something else peculiar which may have captured my attention. A glowing, oddly bluish-white, semi-spherical object, less than half the apparent size of the moon, but definitely larger in apparent sizer than any other celestial object I had ever seen, "hovered" just about the level of a low cloud ceiling that evening, its lower semi-spherical form being apparent. The familiar 'adjacent' moon (its surface variations, craters, etc. readily apparent) appeared much "yellower' in color, visible to the right (south) and "above" the object. The object's and moon's positions did not overlap. After squinting at the object for a small while without binoculars, etc., there appeared to be an underlying grid-like geometric structure underlying the apparent glow, which seemed to occur outside the structure & permeate the adjacent atmosphere. There was no noise I could discern emanating from it. I observed the object for several minutes, when the intensity of its bluish-white glow increased, it slowly rose just above the cloud level, and was obscured by said clouds. I could not be sure, but it seemed to then be "hovering" silently above said clouds. Observation was terminated when object did not descend. The 1970s car I drove seemed unaffected by the object (no lighting, instrumentation, engine/ignition or AM radio anomalies noted). Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object? No, particularly distinguished by its color & apparent change in luminous intensity with upward motion, contrasted with the stability of the "adjacent" visible moon. Witness Background Was a student at the time. Views on UFOs, before and after sighting I had a passing curiosity, not an obsession with more advanced technology.
Q: PHP Email entire page without OB I have a page that doubles as the print page and email version of a page on our website. The page cannot be found by the user but loads in an iframe and either prints or emails depending on what button the user pressed to load it via GET. ie. ?purpose=print ?purpose=email Now the print function triggers JS window.pint() whereas the email function uses PHP html mail. In order to get the contents of the entire page I used OB functions ob_end_start(); // page content ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); This though is cowing up my print function and other JS on the page. Is there another way of getting the content of the page and passing it to the $message parameter of the email? Any ideas, Marvellous A: You mean using the OB functions affects the proper display of your page? Have you tried something like that: ob_end_start(); // page content if(!empty($_GET['purpose']) && $_GET['purpose'] == "email") { $message = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); // your code for sending the $message } else { ob_end_flush(); } What this does is output the page normally if purpose is not set or is something other than "email". If you want to send the email and display the content, then just replace ob_end_clean with ob_end_flush (in that case you don't need the if-condition).
Back to Zagreb! I didn't relax as much as could, but time was not on my side this time. Or should I say again? Terraneo festival did amazing job, but i've also learned something about me. Unfortunately, camping is not best type of holiday to spent for- sun in our tent was killing me, our neighbours were too loud for my taste, i couldn't sleep, i couldn't do hygiene habbits the way i used at home, we ate cans for five days and so on. On the other hand, the concert shows were awesome! I literally cried when I've heard Slow Show! One day we went to old town Šibenik and discovered amazing graveyard- there were a magnificent sea-view at the top of it! So when I got back to normal life, i had to visit Mirogoj again, the most beautiful graveyard in the city. I'm wearing my friend's old wedding dress at which i fell in love at the first sight! An i couldn't resist not to wear it immediately! But i'm thinking to resize it little bit- maybe make it shorter. Or leave it long but with short sleeves. Or just leave it the way it is. What do you think? Yes, being in a tent isn't that great - especially for the hygiene conscious! I spent a few days in a tent and the weather was all muddy and I was sleeping next to pools of muddy water and felt gross all the time. I'm sorry that you didn't relax as much as you could have done on holiday. I love your dress, it's such a lovely colour and looks really striking on you.
Q: Why htaccess starts with dot I am studying the apache's .htaccess file and understands the concepts behind it. I followed some good tutorials/articles but there is no any clear explanation of it that why htaccess started with dot (.htaccess). Any suggestions? A: These types of files are called Dot Files. A file that starts with a dot denotes a hidden file, which is generally used for configuration purposes. You can find a list of other common Dot Files here. A: On *nix systems, a . at the beginning of a filename means that it is a hidden file. I'd assume that apache means to signal that this is not a normal page of the website, hence uses a hidden file.
Three thousand years ago on a battlefield in ancient Palestine, a shepherd boy felled a mighty warrior with nothing more than a stone and a sling, and ever since then the names of David and Goliath have stood for battles between underdogs and giants. David's victory was improbable and miraculous. Hehave won.Or should he have?In, Malcolm Gladwellchallenges how we think about obstacles and disadvantages, offering a new interpretation of what it means to be discriminated against, or cope with a disability, or lose a parent, or attend a mediocre school, or suffer from any number of other apparent setbacks.Gladwell begins with thestory of what happened between the giant and the shepherd boy those many years ago. From there,examines Northern Ireland's Troubles, the minds of cancer researchers and civil rights leaders, murder and the high costs of revenge, and the dynamics of successful and unsuccessful classrooms---all to demonstrate how much of what is beautiful and important in the world arises from what looks like suffering and adversity.In the tradition of Gladwell's previous bestsellers---anddraws upon history, psychology, and powerful storytelling to reshape the way we think of the world around us.
Autophagy delivers misfolded secretory proteins accumulated in endoplasmic reticulum to vacuoles in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae. Autophagy is a conserved intracellular degradation process of eukaryotic cells. In filamentous fungi, although autophagy has been reported to have multiple physiological roles, it is not clear whether autophagy is involved in the degradation of misfolded proteins. Here, we investigated the role of autophagy in the degradation of misfolded secretory proteins accumulated in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae. In late-phase cultures, a disulfide bond-deleted mutant of the secretory protein α-amylase AmyB fused with mDsRed that had accumulated in the ER was subsequently delivered to vacuoles, whereas wild-type AmyB-mDsRed was predominantly located at cell walls and septa. To examine the involvement of autophagy in the delivery of mutant AmyB to vacuoles, mutant AmyB-EGFP was expressed in an A. oryzae autophagy-deficient strain (ΔAoatg8). Microscopic examination revealed that the protein delivery to vacuoles did not occur in the absence of autophagic activity, with mutant AmyB-mDsRed forming large spherical structures surrounded by ER membrane. Hence, we conclude that autophagy is responsible for the delivery of misfolded secretory proteins accumulated in the ER to vacuoles for degradation during late-growth phase in A. oryzae. This is the first study to provide evidence that autophagy plays a role in the degradation of misfolded secretory proteins in filamentous fungi.
"What we found is that for e-cigarette users, the odds of developing lung disease increased by about a third, even after controlling for their tobacco use and their clinical and demographic information," senior author Stanton Glantz said in a statement. "We concluded that e-cigarettes are harmful on their own, and the effects are independent of smoking conventional tobacco." A particularly high risk was found among people who combined both conventional cigarettes and vaping. This exposes users to the risks from both activities which multiply each other, meaning that smoking and vaping together is actually more dangerous than just smoking. This is a problem for the vape industry, which has marketed itself as a way to reduce tobacco use. If people are trying to quit cigarettes and are switching to vapes, they are at a higher risk of lung disease if they continue to smoke occasionally as well. These risks are on top of the recent spate of lung diseases caused by EVALI (e-cigarette, or vaping, product use associated lung injury), and the risks from contaminated vape pods. Overall, the evidence is not looking good for the health effects of vaping. "This study contributes to the growing case that e-cigarettes have long-term adverse effects on health and are making the tobacco epidemic worse," Glantz concluded.
This fall, B.C. will choose whether to keep its current first-past-the-post electoral system, or change to a system of proportional representation. If a majority of people are in favour of proportional representation (PR), then one of three systems — which voters will rank in order of preference in a second question on the ballot — will be adopted for any future provincial election. We'll go into more detail on the three alternatives in the weeks ahead, but watch the video for an overview of the differences. With files from Tamara Baluja

Among the Hassidic masters, Reb Levi Yitzchak of Berditchov stands out as one who truly perfected these practices. Known for his extreme love for the people, Levi Yitzchak truly possessed the proverbial "good eye" (ayin tova), for he had trained himself to see only the good in others, even sinners. Once, on the eve of Rosh Hashanah, Levi Yitzchak was heading to synagogue for the Selichot services when a sudden downpour forced him and his personal assistant to seek shelter under the awning of a tavern. The assistant peered through the window and saw a group of Jews feasting, drinking, and reveling. Growing impatient, he urged Levi Yitzchak to see for himself how the Jews inside were misbehaving when they should have been in synagogue praying to God for forgiveness. Instead of looking, Levi Yitzchak rebuked his assistant for finding fault with the children of Israel. Surely, he asserted, they must be reciting blessings over their food and drink; instead of passing judgment on them, Levi Yitzchak proceeded to bless them. The assistant then peered into the tavern once more and overheard two Jews talking to one another about thefts they had committed. He told this to the Rebbe, yet once more Levi Yitzchak refused to judge them and instead concluded that, indeed, they must be holy Jews since they were confessing their sins to one another before Rosh Hashanah!
Optimal design of multichannel equalizers for the structural similarity index. The optimization of multichannel equalizers is studied for the structural similarity (SSIM) criteria. The closed-form formula is provided for the optimal equalizer when the mean of the source is zero. The formula shows that the equalizer with maximal SSIM index is equal to the one with minimal mean square error (MSE) multiplied by a positive real number, which is shown to be equal to the inverse of the achieved SSIM index. The relation of the maximal SSIM index to the minimal MSE is also established for given blurring filters and fixed length equalizers. An algorithm is also presented to compute the suboptimal equalizer for the general sources. Various numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results.
[The radiologic picture of bronchopulmonary aspergillosis]. The increasing incidence of conditions associated with immune suppression, either as part of the illness or as the result of treatment, makes it necessary to investigate the possibility of fungus infections whenever there are broncho-pulmonary changes. In this respect, aspergillus is a common infection which produces more or less typical radiological changes. It often requires a variety of radiological procedures, including the use of CT and nuclear medicine. The latter can be useful in the allergic form of aspergillosis used for ventilation scintigraphy. The possibility of aspergillosis must be brought to the attention of the clinicians by the radiologist, even in cases that are not entirely typical.

Overlooked? Underestimated? Effects of Substrate Curvature on Cell Behavior. In biological systems, form and function are inherently correlated. Despite this strong interdependence, the biological effect of curvature has been largely overlooked or underestimated, and consequently it has rarely been considered in the design of new cell-material interfaces. This review summarizes current understanding of the interplay between the curvature of a cell substrate and the related morphological and functional cellular response. In this context, we also discuss what is currently known about how, in the process of such a response, cells recognize curvature and accordingly reshape their membrane. Beyond this, we highlight state-of-the-art microtechnologies for engineering curved biomaterials at cell-scale, and describe aspects that impair or improve readouts of the pure effect of curvature on cells.

Development of an allergy test model: activation of human mast cells with potentially allergenic substances. Due to the permanent increase of newly developed and already existing allergies, simple, quick, and reliable test models for detecting potentially allergenic substances are still required. Here, we describe the development of a new in vitro allergy test based on isolated primary mast cells (MC) of non-allergic patients from lung tissue and foreskin specimens, respectively. To establish the specificity of the test model we used primary MC stimulated with immunoglobulin E (IgE), human recombinant stem cell factor (hrSCF), and anti-IgE antibodies to release significant amounts of histamine indicating the ability of MC to cause a hypersensitivity reaction of the immediate type. The general applicability of this test model for detecting allergenic substances could be confirmed by histamine release of primary MC stimulated with sera of patients suffering from house dust allergy, and the corresponding antigen Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus. The results of the present work suggest that this newly developed human in vitro model provides the opportunity of testing substances for their allergenic potential within days and at low costs. This could also be of particular interest for newly produced compounds.

In the modern information age it is imperative for the organization to have its information at its fingertips. To meet this need for information, additions to systems are often developed to give consolidated management overviews of the operational information. Often, consolidated views require information from several operational systems and this leads to separate systems, often referred to as MIS (management information systems) or decision support systems. Sometimes the consolidated management information is represented in a specialized system often referred to as a data warehouse.

The present invention relates to the field of computer graphics. Many computer graphic images are created by mathematically modeling the interaction of light with a three dimensional scene from a given viewpoint. This process, called rendering, generates a two-dimensional image of the scene from the given viewpoint, and is analogous to taking a photograph of a real-world scene. As the demand for computer graphics, and in particular for real-time computer graphics, has increased, computer systems with graphics processing subsystems adapted to accelerate the rendering process have become widespread. In these computer systems, the rendering process is divided between a computer's general purpose central processing unit (CPU) and the graphics processing subsystem. Typically, the CPU performs high level operations, such as determining the position, motion, and collision of objects in a given scene. From these high level operations, the CPU generates a set of rendering commands and data defining the desired rendered image or images. For example, rendering commands and data can define scene geometry, lighting, shading, texturing, motion, and/or camera parameters for a scene. The graphics processing subsystem creates one or more rendered images from the set of rendering commands and data. Graphics processing subsystems typically use a stream-processing model, in which input elements are read and operated on by successively by a chain of stream processing units. The output of one stream processing unit is the input to the next stream processing unit in the chain. Typically, data flows only one way, “downstream,” through the chain of stream processing units. Examples of stream processing units include vertex processors, which process two- or three-dimensional vertices, rasterizer processors, which process geometric primitives defined by sets of two- or three-dimensional vertices into sets of pixels or sub-pixels, referred to as fragments, and fragment processors, which process fragments to determine their color and other attributes. Typically, the rendering commands and data sent to the graphics processing subsystem define a set of geometric primitives that are potentially visible in the final rendered image. The set of potentially visible geometric primitives is typically much larger than the set of geometric primitives actually visible in the final rendered image. To improve performance, the graphics processing subsystem can perform one or more visibility tests to determine the potential visibility of geometric primitives. Using the results of these tests, the graphics processing subsystem can remove, or cull, geometric primitives that are not visible from the set of potentially visible geometric primitives, thereby reducing the number of geometric primitives to be rendered. Previously, visibility testing and culling of geometric primitives, referred to as culling operations, were performed in the setup and rasterization units of the graphics processing subsystem. As rendered scenes become more complex, they typically include a large number of small geometric primitives. The increasing number of geometric primitives tends to create processing bottlenecks in the setup unit. Additionally, the vertices associated with each geometric primitive can include a set of attributes used for rendering. The bandwidth required to communicate vertices and their associated attributes to the setup unit creates further processing bottlenecks. This problem is exacerbated by the increasing number of attributes associated with vertices to perform complex rendering operations. It is therefore desirable to perform culling operations as soon as possible in the graphics processing subsystem to decrease wasteful rendering operations, to reduce the bandwidth requirements for communicating vertices and associated attributes, and to improve rendering performance. It is further desirable to reduce processing bottlenecks in the setup unit without substantially increasing the complexity of other portions of the graphics processing subsystem.
The invention relates to a wet developing process for electrophotography and an apparatus therefor. While both dry and wet developing means are known for electrophotography, i.e., electrostatic photography and electrostatic recording, the invention is particularly concerned with a wet developing process and apparatus therefor in which a developing solution is used as a developer. The conventional wet developing process using a developing solution comprises maintaining a supply of the developing solution in a dish-shaped vessel into which an exposed photosensitive or recorded recording sheet is fed for passage through the developing solution to effect the developing process, or comprises flushing a developing solution across an exposed photosensitive or recorded recording sheet which is fixed. However, in such developing techniques, the developing solution is supplied to both surfaces of the sheet to be developed, namely, the photosensitive surface (the surface of a photoconductive layer) or the recording surface (the surface of an induction layer) which has been exposed or recorded as well as the rear surface, which results in the disadvantage of marring the rear surface of the sheet due to the attachment thereto of the developer. In a wet developing process, the developing solution must be well stirred before it is supplied to the sheet. This is because the developing solution is used as the carrier for a toner powder mixed therein as is known, so that unless it is well stirred upon developing, there cannot be achieved a uniform supply of toner powder to the surface to be developed, which results in the non-uniformity of development. For these reasons, it is established that the higher the speed of relative movement between the developing solution and the surface to be developed, the better the result obtained. On the other hand, it is apparent that only one surface of the sheet need be developed. Consequently, the supply of the developing solution to both surfaces is wasteful.
As integrated circuit devices (e.g., semiconductor devices) become more highly integrated, an associated design rule may be reduced. As a result, the area occupied by the integrated circuit device may also be reduced, which may make it more difficult to form transistors therein. For example, NMOS transistors in a cell region of a memory device and PMOS and NMOS transistors in a peripheral circuit region are fabricated to have predetermined lengths so as to provide the electrical characteristics of these transistors. However, short channel effects associated with the reduced size of the transistors may result in the malfunction of a transistor device. It is known to increase channel length by forming a raised source/drain using selective epitaxial growth. An epitaxy layer can be formed to a predetermined thickness on a portion of substrate where source/drain junctions are formed so that the resultant structure is higher than the substrate (i.e., a raised source/drain structure). The raised source/drain structure can effectively increase the channel length, thereby reducing short channel effects. However, the thickness of the raised source/drain structure can also influence the efficacy of the transistor in other ways. For example, if the raised source/drain structure is too thick, the raised source/drain structure may cause an electrical short between the structure and a gate electrode. On the other hand, if the raised source/drain structure is too thin, the raised source/drain structure may not be effective enough in reducing the short channel effects.
Deterrent behaviour is normal, necessary and acceptable as long as the dog stops when the animal or person backs off. You’ll commonly see adult dogs use deterrent behaviour to warn off or discipline unruly pups or dogs with poor social skills. Although deterrent behaviour is widely accepted in humans, we often don’t afford dogs the same right to communicate their discomfort. Aggression is simply communication. The burning question is where acceptable communication crosses the line into unwanted aggression. For perspective let’s take a look at the ACTT K9 Communications Continuum. Think of canine communication and aggression on the same continuum. In Zone-A, you’ll see normal, healthy communication. Zone-B is where the intensity starts to escalate. Social and confident dogs exist in Zone-A. Under-socialized and fearful dogs live in Zone-B. On a best day scenario when anxiety is low, B dogs live in the center of the continuum and start communicating their discomfort with deterrent behaviour. That’s why they’re perceived as reactive or dogs with a low threshold. A dog can change its communication according to the situation by sliding up and down on the continuum with the intent to prevent conflict. The dog may communicate its discomfort with calming signals in Zone-A, but if those signals aren’t respected the dog’s behaviour will move toward Zone-B into deterrent behaviour. The line between A and B is where the dog flips from mild to more severe deterrent behaviour leading to fear and aggression. Reprimands cripple communication causing the dog to quickly jump to severe behaviour in order to avoid the admonishment. Punishing or allowing severe deterrent behaviour can create an aggressive bully that picks fights. When communication is repeatedly punished it creates a learned helplessness and can trigger a primordial survival instinct manifesting in self-defense behaviours. To prevent or mitigate aggression and shape a confident dog that’s a master communicator: Learn to interpret canine body language Encourage natural communication Teach acceptable deterrent limits The secret to solid communication is socialization and because it’s a skill, the “use it or lose it” rule applies. Dogs should be carefully and thoroughly socialized before four months of age and socialization should continue throughout their lives to keep their skills fine-tuned and prevent aggression.

Q: How to extends/subcontents a dialog box using the GWT UiBinder? I want to build "from scratch" a DialogBox hierarchy. First of all, I've got a BaseDialog.java class : A simple dialog that extends DialogBox (gwt widget) public class BaseDialog extends DialogBox { protected static BaseDialog2UiBinder uiBinder = GWT .create(BaseDialog2UiBinder.class); interface BaseDialog2UiBinder extends UiBinder<Widget, BaseDialog2> { } @UiField protected FlowPanel contentPanel; public BaseDialog() { setWidget(uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this)); } } a BaseDialog.ui.xml <!DOCTYPE ui:UiBinder SYSTEM "http://dl.google.com/gwt/DTD/xhtml.ent"> <ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui="urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder" xmlns:g="urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui"> <g:VerticalPanel width="200px" height="200px"> <g:Label>Label principal</g:Label> <g:FlowPanel ui:field="contentPanel" /> </g:VerticalPanel> </ui:UiBinder> As you can see, the BaseDialog contains a simple Label and a contentPanel (FlowPanel). I would like to extends the BaseDialog (e.g. ConfirmationDialog). The ConfirmationDialog fills the content of the BaseDialog's contentPanel. How can I do that ? Thanks.

Gerardo (Jorge Negrete) and his friend Demetrio (Julio Villarreal) are a pair of footloose cowboys in turn-of-the-century Mexico who are looking for work after escaping from prison on dubious charges. Gerardo persuades Jose (Francisco Jambrina), an tycoon from Argentina who is looking for oil in Mexico, to give work to himself and his friends, but just as their fortunes are on the rise, the oilman disappears and is feared murdered. Jose's sister Mercedes (Libertad Lamarque) travels to Mexico to find out what's become of him, and when she learns that Gerardo has taken over as manager in Jose's absence, she's convinced that Gerardo and his pals are to blame. Wanting to know more about Gerardo and his cronies, she takes a job as a singer as "Gran Casino," a rowdy nightclub near the oil fields; in time, she strikes up a romance with the good-hearted roughneck and learns just who her brother's enemies really are. Gran Casino was Luis Bunuel's first project after settling in Mexico in the wake of the Spanish Civil War and an unsuccessful attempt to seek asylum in the United States; an uncharacteristically conventional story which was not well suited to Bunuel's talents (and a musical to boot), Gran Casino fared poorly at the box office, and it was two years before he'd get to make his next film, El Gran Calavera. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
Review on Factors Influencing Physician Guideline Adherence in Cardiology. Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in Western countries. Physician adherence to guidelines is often suboptimal, resulting in impaired patient outcome and prognosis. Multiple studies have been conducted to evaluate patterns and the influencing factors of patient adherence, but little is known about factors influencing physician guideline adherence. This review aims to identify factors influencing physician guideline adherence relevant to cardiology and to provide insights and suggestions for future improvement. Physician adherence was measured as adherence to standard local medical practice and applicable guidelines. Female gender and older age had a negative effect on physician guideline adherence. In addition, independent of the type of heart disease, physicians without cardiologic specialization were linked to physician noncompliance. Also, guideline adherence in primary care centers was at a lower level compared with secondary or tertiary care centers. The importance of guideline adherence increases as patients age, and complex diseases and comorbidity arise. Appropriate resources and interventions, taking important factors for nonadherence in account, are necessary to improve guideline adoption and adherence in every level of the chain. This in turn should improve patient outcome.

The boy quickly scrambled back to his feet & brushed himself off (for what it was worth.) He looked from one face to another jittery. "I..I..I'm sorry sir..ma'am...I..I..I..was just...just..." he stopped.'stealing some food' wouldn't have been a wise choice of words. He chewed his lip & stared at the floor for a few mintues before looking back up. "...If I had asked you would've said 'No'. & I'd have never gotten away..." He grew quiet again."I thought that if I kept quiet you wouldn't even have known I'm here."He stared at the two of them fearfull, awaiting what his sentance would turn out to be.

He stood for several minutes as if in a trance, staring into the stowaway's face. He then slowly turned and walked zombie-like up the stairs to the deck of the ship. Then, startlingly, he called out: "BOYS! WE GOT A STOWAWAY! PREPARE THE PLANK!" He grinned and winked in Jenna's direction, then sidled up to her, whispering "Don't worry, lass. We'll be gentle on th' boy." Siren heard the Captain's yell for the men to prepare the plank. She took off at a run, nearly colliding into Jenna. She took a look at the boy, who'd obviously been enjoying the left over food. Siren quirked an eyebrow. "Oh dear. You're going to walk the plank. This will be fun! Oops.. I mean horrible. This is horrible!" Siren frowned, looking mighty concerned. "Don't worry, little one. It'll be okay." Logged Tell me, Lucifer Morningstar.. Ask yourselves, all of you...

The long-term objectives of our research program are to clarify the central mechanisms underlying acute and chronic craniofacial pain and its control. Our recent NIH-supported research has resulted in major new insights into the neuroplasticity of the trigeminal (V) brainstem complex, and into brainstem mechanisms underlying deep (e.g. muscle; and temporomandibular joint, TMJ) as well as cutaneous (facial) pain. These latter studies, carried out in subnucleus caudalis since it has been particularly implicated in orofacial pain mechanisms, have suggested mechanisms that may be involved in signaling pain and in its spread and referral and that may be manifested in pathophysiological situations such as temporomandibular/myofascial pain dysfunction and inflammation. To clarify these mechanisms further, we will first address hypotheses that A: Caudalis neurons receiving deep as well as cutaneous nociceptive afferent inputs project directly to the posterior thalamus and/or parabrachial area, PBA; B: Application of an inflammatory irritant to masticatory muscle( masseter and tongue muscles) or temporomandibular (TM) region enhances the peripherally evoked responses to cutaneous or deep stimuli of caudalis nociceptive neurons; block of C-fiber afferents markedly diminishes this enhancement; and C: Descending modulatory influences from the periaqueductal gray (PAG) and rostroventral medulla (RVM) can depress the peripherally evoked responses to deep as well as cutaneous stimuli of caudalis nociceptive neurons; local anesthesia or lesioning of RVM can diminish the depressive effects of PAG stimulation. Electrophysiological recordings will be made from functionally identified brainstem nociceptive and nonnociceptive neurons in subnucleus caudalis of rats to determine if neurons receiving deep nociceptive afferent inputs project to regions implicated in more central processing of pain and if these neurons' activity can be modulated by TM and muscle afferents excited by irritant substances and by central modulatory influences implicated in the control of pain. Since neural alterations associated with injury and inflammation may be involved in several craniofacial pain conditions including temporomandibular/ myofascial pain dysfunction, the information gained from this research will provide a better understanding of acute and chronic craniofacial pains and their control.

Q: Issue with the operator like I have this form which i use it to search specific records from the database. This is the query: $sql = "select * from `hostess` where first_name_en like '%$term' or family_name_en like '%$term%' order by `family_name_en` asc"; The issue is that if i search i.e ele there come all the names which contain ele, such as elena, etc etc, but if i write elena nothing comes up. How come? A: Is there a reason why you didn't use the % at the end of the first_name_en value ? $sql = "select * from `hostess` where first_name_en like '%$term%' or family_name_en like '%$term%' order by `family_name_en` asc"; Edit : For the uppercase-lowercase problem : $term = strtolower($term); $sql = "select * from `hostess` where lower(first_name_en) like '%$term%' or lower(family_name_en) like '%$term%' order by `family_name_en` asc";

Disabled people could lose benefits The charity Scope has warned that many disabled people risk losing payments under planned benefits changes. It is concerned the proposed test of claimants’ need is flawed because it focuses more on the disability but ignores relevant factors like housing and transport. The government says the new system will benefit those in greatest need and cut annual overpayments of £660m, but fears many people may be left with little or no financial support. Under the Welfare Reform Bill the disability living allowance, currently paid to more than three million disabled people, will be replaced by the personal independence payment and incorporate a new medical assessment that will be carried out on around two million disabled people of working age. However, Scope is concerned it does not consider factors such as unsuitable housing and inaccessible public transport that lead to extra costs for disabled people but are not “related to the direct effect of an individual’s condition and impairment.” Scope chief executive Richard Hawkes said the charity recognised that disability living allowance needed reforming but added: “Without understanding the extent of barriers people face, the government has no hope to overcome them and genuinely enable people to take part in daily life.” Minister for disabled people Maria Miller said: “At the moment disability living allowance doesn't have an in-built reassessment as part of it and we have £600m a year going out in overpayments as a result. “I want to see that change so that the money is really getting to disabled people who need the help the most.”

lady_disdain and everyone who thinks I shouldn't be cooking for the BIL. I completely agree, but the arrangement was made prior to finding out he misled us about being invited to our house for Christmas. I have had this argument with my husband repeatedly, to which he says: "We should honor our commitment. If we don't, he'll think we're just like he is." To which I said, "Who cares what he thinks? He willfully misled us! No one invited him to our house." I honestly don't understand my husband's apparent apprehension to displease him. It's sad to me, very sad. The bolded is an interesting phrase. I wonder what exact dynamics are going on between the two brothers. Is your husband trained to be the "nice" one, and that if he isn't "nice," the universe goes out of balance and we all fall into a black hole? Speaking as someone whose DH was programmed to the "reasonable one*" while his sister wreaked havock, I can only advise you to live your boundaries. If you enable him to continue the "just this one thing" cycle, you will never pull out of it. Your DH is used to appeasement, to peace at all costs. He knows he can depend on your love, so he expects you to compromise because he can't trust BIL's love. So what you have to do is make it just as uncomfortable for DH to put you in the "compromise" position as it is for DH to confront BIL. DH can plan to "honor his commitment" to appease BIL all he wants, but you will not be involved. If he brings it up as planning for BIL's bday dinner, tell him, "I will not be here. I will be at a movie that night, but the crockpot is in the cabinet left of the stove." When he protests, tell him, "I will not be there." And when the appointed night arrives, go to the movies. He can accuse you of not being supportive or showing BIL you're afraid of him or some other nonsense to try to force you back into the position of helping him appease BIL - because that's what DH's comfortable with. He doesn't know any other way to operate. But ultimately, he needs to hear the same simple, repeated message that BIL hears, "I will not have anything to do with BIL." *A friend of mine called it the "Curse of the capable" over the weekend and, boy does that describe the situation. lady_disdain and everyone who thinks I shouldn't be cooking for the BIL. I completely agree, but the arrangement was made prior to finding out he misled us about being invited to our house for Christmas. I have had this argument with my husband repeatedly, to which he says: "We should honor our commitment. If we don't, he'll think we're just like he is." To which I said, "Who cares what he thinks? He willfully misled us! No one invited him to our house." I honestly don't understand my husband's apparent apprehension to displease him. It's sad to me, very sad. If I were in your position arguing with my wife about this sort of thing, I'd say "If you're so concerned about honoring the committment, then you can go ahead and cook for your brother yourself. I will have nothing to do with it." Sounds like your husband's concerns about not wanting BIL to think you're afraid of him are actually a projection of your husband's fear of his brother. "Yes, I said I would make his birthday dinner but I also thought he would be acting in a reasonable way. Its an implied social contract...you are part of my family so I celebrate with you. However, if he hit me in the face, should I still have to make dinner to honor the commitment? No, because the social contract would be broken. And I am telling you the way he treats me also breaks that contract. I will not be doing anything for nor with him anymore. If you choose to make him dinner or go out to dinner with him yourself, consider the message that it sends to both him and to me. I, for one, get the message that you condone his behavior and that you are going out of your way to be nice to someone that deliberately tries to make me uncomfortable." Or how about the important questions, "Why is so important to you keep him happy? Why do you care so much about what he thinks? Why is his happiness and what he thinks more important to you than my happiness and what I think?" I'm guessing that even if he can't articulate it, her DH feels that his only surviving bond is his brother. It's a lifelong one and he may, unconsciously, believe that it is more likely to last than the bond with his wife. I'm guessing that even if he can't articulate it, her DH feels that his only surviving bond is his brother. It's a lifelong one and he may, unconsciously, believe that it is more likely to last than the bond with his wife. If he keeps prioritizing BIL's feelings over his wife's, then he is almost guaranteeing it. I'm guessing that even if he can't articulate it, her DH feels that his only surviving bond is his brother. It's a lifelong one and he may, unconsciously, believe that it is more likely to last than the bond with his wife. If he keeps prioritizing BIL's feelings over his wife's, then he is almost guaranteeing it. Exactly! I'd still like to know about the nature of the property the brothers co-own and why the husband seems afraid of his brother. It is possible that if he stood up to him, they might actually have a better relationship in the long run. The whole example of you gave, mocking your voice, grunts, sighs seems like grade school, not how adults interact, it's just bizarre. I honestly don't get the entire interaction. Since you clearly feel very strongly that you dislike BIL, I also don't understand why you've entertained him for so long. I'm glad you finally said something to him. For the record, your DH may be interested to know that distancing oneself from someone rarely involves inviting them over and cooking meals for them. Further, I have it on good authority that men can, in fact, cook dinners and in a pinch order in meals if they are afraid of the stove. If DH wants him to come over for his birthday dinner, which is presumably not a milestone event for you, then a reasonable compromise is either for you to find somewhere else to be for that evening and for DH to cook dinner for his BIL or for DH to take his brother out for dinner without you. For Christmas it's a bit more difficult since it is a big event for everyone involved. I think you bluntly need to say to DH that you will not spend Christmas with his brother and that DH needs to choose who he wants to spend it with. Force him to either say he would prefer to spend it with his brother or to spend it with you. I don't understand why not spending time with BIL implies you are afraid of him. There are plenty of people I dislike who I won't spend time with and fear has nothing to do with it. Perhaps you can think of someone or somewhere you DH dislikes going. Suggest you go there or see them. If he doesn't agree tell him he has to or else it will look like he's afraid of it. That may help him see that dislike and fear are really totally different things. BIL sounds like the BIL that there used to be some posts about- the robotics team one who would lie and say he was an advisor. Sorry- I can't remember who used to post about him- but there were quite a few posts about him- a few years back. BIL sounds like the BIL that there used to be some posts about- the robotics team one who would lie and say he was an advisor. Sorry- I can't remember who used to post about him- but there were quite a few posts about him- a few years back. I remember those stories. The OP of those had the word "duck" in her SN, but I can't remember who it was. But that BIL was more clueless and lacking social skills. He overreached and thought he was more than he was because he seemingly had nothing else going on his his life and while was annoying, he wasn't mean or cruel. This BIL sounds cruel or slightly unhinged. I agree with the others that the OP should distance herself and let her DH handle all things concerning his brother. BIL is sabotaging your marriage. DH has something good that BIL doesnít, and BILís reaction has been to try to destroy it in a way that he hopes will leave him looking blameless. Reading your O.P., people here have been appalled on your behalf. DH should also be appalled. I have sympathy for him though. Growing up in dysfunction, one learns to adapt and see it as normal. It can take a huge wakeup call to see what others see. And it can be very painful. I donít think it needs to be a case of DH protecting you or you protecting him Ė it should be the two of you acting as a solidified unit to protect your love and marriage from an outside threat. I hope the two of you can work this out. THIS! When DH and I were dating his brother (who lived with him) alternated being rude to me/ignoring me. He had always been a bully. He couldn't stand the fact little brother was happy while he and his on again/off again girlfriend were off again. DH confronted him with "be nice to her or move out - she is more important to me than you are". We seldom see him but he is civil and polite and that's enough for us. When my MIL passes some day we will no longer have any reason to see him.

She removed a lot of her posts about the BIL and FIL, but the comments are still available. She also had a link to her blog, and I think that she was an accomplished photographer. The whole saga was very interesting, as I remember. I think that she has been on this site in this calendar year.

FAMILY PEACE CENTERS promote peace and safety for Hawaii’s families and communities by providing support and education for those who use violence, survivors, and their children. Violent and abusive behavior is learned and can be unlearned. Accepting responsibility and being accountable for one’s behavior are critical in the path to peace. The consistent use of non-violent skills assures safety for survivors and children, promotes offender accountability, and solidifies an end to the cycle of violence in families and communities. The Family Peace Center emphasizes partnership, equality, and respect among and between all family members. PACT offers services on Oahu, Maui, and Lanai. Services are offered in a variety of languages for non-English speakers. Although types of groups and services vary by island, which includes: · Victim advocacy and support · Parenting skill building – for survivors and their children · Parenting skill building – for offenders · Domestic Violence Intervention - for adults who have used violence · Domestic Violence Intervention - for adults who have used violence with co-occurring substance abuse · Violence intervention – for GLBTQ individuals · Violence intervention for teenagers · Anger Control
Q: Working on the same branch in all Git repositores I have several repositories and usually when there is branch A in one of the repositories, there is also a branch with the same name in the rest. Is there a way to make sure that when i switch to branch A in one of the repositories, the branch will be switched in the other as well? A: Is there a way to make sure that when I switch to branch A in one of the repositories, the branch will be switched in the other as well? Not with basic Git commands alone. A less basic Git command could achieve something similar with git subtree: see "Alternatives To Git Submodule: Git Subtree ", and "Working with subtree merge": you merge several repos in one, while preserving the possibility to export back the history of those sub-repos back to their original repos. While you are in that "merged repo", making a branch would apply to all merged repos. But the one tool which does precisely what you want is called gitslave Gitslave creates a group of related repositories—a superproject repository and a number of slave repositories—all of which are concurrently developed on and on which all git operations should normally operate; so when you branch, each repository in the project is branched in turn. Similarly when you commit, push, pull, merge, tag, checkout, status, log, etc; each git command will run on the superproject and all slave repositories in turn. This sort of activity may be very familiar to CVS and (to a lesser extent) Subversion users. Gitslave's design is for simplicity for normal git operations.
Evaluation of the buccal bleeding time and platelet glass bead retention as assays of hemostasis in the dog: the effects of acetylsalicylic acid, warfarin and von Willebrand factor deficiency. The study evaluated two hemostatic assays in the dog, a modified version of the buccal mucosal bleeding time (BMBT) and the platelet glass bead retention (PR), to describe the aspects of hemostasis measured by these assays. Von Willebrand factor (vWf)-deficient Doberman pinscher dogs were used in evaluating the effects of altered platelet adhesion. Normal dogs were treated with either acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) or warfarin to evaluate the effects of altered platelet aggregation and coagulation. There was significant prolongation of the BMBT and reduction of the PR in vWf-deficient dogs as compared to normal dogs. In ASA treated dogs the BMBT was slightly prolonged; the PR was significantly reduced. The change in ASA-induced BMBT did not correlate with the sensitivity of the dog platelets to arachidonic acid. In warfarin treated dogs there was no change in the BMBT; however, the PR was significantly reduced. The BMBT is a test of hemostasis that is sensitive to platelet adhesion and aggregation deficits. The PR is useful in detecting general abnormalities in hemostasis including platelet adhesion defects due to reduced vWf.

Q: Will I get bugs if I use a string for a hashtable key in java? I want to use a hashtable to uniquely link immutable string IDs to mutable objects. If I have two strings of the same characters, will Java interpret them as different keys to the hash table? I know that Strings are objects, so two strings might not have the same reference. In other words, if I do ... myHashTable.add("A" , ObjectA) String myReference = "A" myHashTable.add(myReference, ObjectB) // I am not sure how java will interpret this myHashTable.get("A") //returns A myHashTable.get(myReference) //returns B myReference.equals("A") //returns true Can I safely use strings as keys to the hashtable (meaning that strings made up of the same characters will return the same value) A: The String.hashCode() method is based only on the content of the string, not the object identity. So yes, this is safe. A: HashMap and HashSet depend on the keys' hashCode and equals method. String's equals method compares string character by character and its hashCode methods is consistent with that. So, you can use two Strings that have the same characters but are != reference-wise and they will hash to the same value in a HashMap. The javadoc explains all this in clear language. You should give it a read. public V get(Object key) Returns the value to which the specified key is mapped, or null if this map contains no mapping for the key. More formally, if this map contains a mapping from a key k to a value v such that (key==null ? k==null : key.equals(k)), then this method returns v; otherwise it returns null. (There can be at most one such mapping.) Caveat: IdentityHashMap breaks that contract.
Q: What's the difference between Application.Contents and Application.StaticObjects in Classic ASP? There are two collections in the Application object in Classic ASP: Application.StaticObjects, filled in <object> sections in global.asa Application.Contents, filled by whatever code decides to store something there, including <script> sections in global.asa I note one apparent disadvantage of the StaticObjects collection: You cannot initialize objects you store. Let's take the example of an XML document. You can store a free-threaded DOM object there, but how if you wanted to preload an XML file? I cannot see a way to achieve this. Does StaticObjects have any advantage to compensate for this disadvantage? More generally, how are these collections different with regard to things like concurrency or access or whatnot? The discussion below has shown that there actually is an advantage to using <object> and hence Application.StaticObjects, and that is lazy evaluation. But then, of course, lazy evaluation is something you can easily code yourself (and with greater flexibility) in a script. Still, for application-scoped singletons to be created on demand, the <object> tag can be useful. A: I've never come across any need or advantage to use <object> in the Global.asa as opposed to simply using Contents in the OnStart event. Apart from the way objects end up being instanced and placed in these collections there is no real difference betweent them. Objects need to be free-threaded and thread-safe. My advice would to just ignore StaticObjects and work with simple code.
Increased miniaturization of components, greater packaging density of an integrated circuit die (“IC”), higher performance, and lower cost are ongoing goals of the computer industry. IC package technology continues advances in miniaturization to increase density of integrated circuit or semiconductor components within these packages. The miniaturization of IC packages decreases sizes of products made from these packages in response to continually increasing demands for information and communication products in ever-reduced sizes, thicknesses, and costs, along with ever-increasing performance. These increasing requirements for miniaturization are particularly noteworthy, for example, in portable information and communication devices such as cellular phones, hands-free cellular phone headsets, personal data assistants (“PDA's”), camcorders, notebook computers, and so forth. All of these devices continue to be made smaller and thinner to improve their portability. Accordingly, a large-scale integrated circuit (“LSI”) within an IC package is required to be made smaller and thinner. The LSI package configurations that house and protect the LSI are required to be made smaller and thinner as well. Many conventional packages for integrated circuits, semiconductors or chips are of the type where a semiconductor die is molded into a package with a resin, such as an epoxy molding compound. These packages have a lead frame whose leads are projected from the package body to provide a path for signal transfer between the die and external devices. Other conventional package configurations have contact terminals or pads formed directly on the surface of the package. Such a conventional semiconductor package is fabricated through the following processes: a die-bonding process (mounting the semiconductor die onto the paddle of a lead frame), a wire-bonding process (electrically connecting the semiconductor die on the paddle to inner leads using lead frame wires), a molding process (encapsulating a predetermined portion of the assembly, containing the die, inner leads and lead frame wires, with an epoxy resin to form a package body), and a trimming process (completing each assembly as individual, independent packages). The semiconductor packages thus manufactured are then mounted by matching and soldering the external leads or contact pads of the package to a matching pattern on a circuit board to enable power and signal input/output (“I/O”) operations between the semiconductor devices in the packages and the circuit board. Different challenges arise from increased function integration and miniaturization. For example, a semiconductor product having increased function may be smaller but still require a large number of inputs/outputs (I/O). The size reduction increases the I/O density or decreases the I/O pitch for the integrated circuit die package and its respective integrated circuit die carriers. The ever-increasing I/O density trend presents a myriad of manufacturing problems. Some of these problems reside in the IC die manufacturing realm, such as fine pitch connections and reliability of these connections. Others problems involve mounting these increase I/O density integrated circuit dies on carriers for packaging. Yet other problems reside in the realm of the printed circuit board or the system board that receives the integrated circuit die package having the fine pitch I/O or a large number of I/Os in an ever-shrinking space. Thus, a need still remains for an integrated circuit die package system providing low cost manufacturing, improved yield, and improved reliability. In view of the ever-increasing need to save costs and improve efficiencies, it is more and more critical that answers be found to these problems. Solutions to these problems have been long sought but prior developments have not taught or suggested any solutions and, thus, solutions to these problems have long eluded those skilled in the art.

The deacetylase inhibitor LAQ824 induces notch signalling in haematopoietic progenitor cells. AML progenitor cells (AML-PC) undergo significant apoptosis in response to the deacetylase inhibitor (DACi) LAQ824 and lose the replating capacity which was not observed with the DACi valproic acid. Treatment of normal hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) with LAQ824 resulted in (i) inhibition of differentiation, (ii) an G2/M cell cycle arrest exclusively in multipotent CD34(+) HPC and (iii) induction of apoptosis predominantly in committed CD34(-) HPC. Gene expression analysis showed induction of coactivator and target genes of the notch pathway as well as cell cycle arrest-inducing genes in the most primitive CD34(+) CD38(-) HPC population which may in part be responsible for the considerable, but reversible haematotoxicity of this drug.

The City and the World and Other Stories eBook The Cross was close to him now. With his new spiritual vision he saw that in form it was One like himself, but One with eyes that were soft and mild and full of tenderness, with arms outstretched and nail-prints like glittering gems upon them, with a wounded side and out from it a flood pouring which cooled the parched sands, so that from them the flowers sprang up, full panoplied in color, form and beauty, and sweetly smelling. Around The Flaming Cross fluttered countless wings, and childish voices made melody, soft and harmonious beyond all compare. All else that Orville ever knew vanished before the glance of the Beloved; faces and forms dearest and nearest, old haunts and older affections, all were melted into this One Great Love that is Eternal. The outstretched arms were wrapped around them. The blood from the wounded side washed all their pains from them. On their foreheads fell the Kiss of Peace, and Orville and Michael had come home. THE VICAR-GENERAL The Vicar-General was dead. With his long, white hair smoothed back, he lay upon a silk pillow, his hands clasped over a chalice upon his breast. He was clad in priestly vestments; and he looked, as he lay in his coffin before the great altar with the candles burning on it, as if he were just ready to arise and begin a new "Introibo" in Heaven. The bells of the church wherein the Vicar-General lay asleep had called his people all the morning in a sad and solemn tolling. The people had come, as sad and solemn as the bells. They were gathered about the bier of their pastor. Priests from far and near had chanted the Office of the Dead; the Requiem Mass was over, and the venerable chief of the diocese, the Bishop himself, stood in cope and mitre, to give the last Absolution. [Illustration: “The Bishop himself stood in cope and mitre to give the last absolution.”] The Bishop had loved the Vicar-General—­had loved him as a brother. For was it not the Vicar-General who had bidden His Lordship welcome, when he came from his distant parish to take up the cares of a diocese. With all the timidity of a stranger, the Bishop had feared; but the Vicar-General guided his steps safely and well. Now the Bishop, gazing at the white, venerable face, remembered—­and wept. In the midst of the Absolution, his voice broke. Priests bit their lips, as their eyes filled with hot tears; but the Sisters who taught in the parochial school and their little charges, did not attempt to keep back their sobs. For others than the Bishop loved the Vicar-General.
For any one who has ever for a moment been pensive about the fate of Laurel while retrieving a bay leaf from a stew or a sauce. […] So what did she become as she branched into prayer to escape Apollo's too fleshlike clutch? I ponder this as I sift the thickened stew for the still undissolved bit of her, that forever inedible leaf. Richard Foerster ends "Daphne" thus after having enthralled us through the preparations of the stew […] I let slip a bay leaf into the scent-swirl— an embraising of onions in oil, crushed garlic and thyme, some pepper ground like a primal shower atop the seared cubes before the last essential alchemizing cup of wine …

Q: Can I start networking using XP's "Safe Mode with Command Prompt"? In XP, is it possible to start up networking (similar to Safe Mode with Networking) while logged in via the "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" option? I tried net start "network connections" but this says it cannot be started in Safe Mode. Any other ideas? FYI, Safe Mode with Networking is not an option in this case, due to UI restrictions preventing the use of a command prompt or the Run command in anything other than Safe Mode with Command Prompt. A: I don't think you can - the networking subsystem and drivers are not loaded, and they can't be started. With Safe Mode with Networking, have you tried browsing to the CMD.exe file and double clicking it? Have you tried copying and renaming the file to something else then executing it?
Q: How do I make a pull request from the master to the staging branch? I have many changes in the master. I want to do a pull request to the staging branch so that it can later merge to staging. I tried as the picture below, but nothing changes How can I solve this problem? A: Switch the base from master to staging. The base branch is the branch that you are going to merge into.
Q: Is there a way to insert an image into a chart in xlsxwriter? In Excel it's possible to insert images into charts for fun and profit. I'd like to replicate that in xlsxwriter, but can't figure out how to do it. Does anyone know? A: As the documentation on its Chart class does not contain the word "image", I would say it can't be done with xlsxwriter.

Preventing nutritional disorders in athletes: focus on the basics. The prevention of nutritional disorders in athletes is often a controversial topic. The answer centers on the practitioners ability to assess each participant's individual needs, ensuring that basic nutrient requirements are met. The cornerstone to any athlete's nutritional program is to ensure an adequate energy intake correctly proportioned with macronutrients. Inherent to this goal is the understanding that exposure to chronic stress alters energy depots: musculoskeletal structure and immune/inflammatory responses that either facilitate or hinder training based on recovery. Essential to the athlete's health is the understanding that each is a unique individual who will never fit neatly into a predefined, cookbook approach to nutrition. Failure to meet these objectives will only impair recovery. Although quality training and adequate rest is important to training, so too is adequate energy balance. This article focuses on better understanding the benefits of adequate energy balance, further enhanced by a better understanding of macronutrient use.
Evaluating genomic DNA extraction methods from human whole blood using endpoint and real-time PCR assays. The extraction of genomic DNA is the crucial first step in large-scale epidemiological studies. Though there are many popular DNA isolation methods from human whole blood, only a few reports have compared their efficiencies using both end-point and real-time PCR assays. Genomic DNA was extracted from coronary artery disease patients using solution-based conventional protocols such as the phenol-chloroform/proteinase-K method and a non-phenolic non-enzymatic Rapid-Method, which were evaluated and compared vis-a-vis a commercially available silica column-based Blood DNA isolation kit. The appropriate method for efficiently extracting relatively pure DNA was assessed based on the total DNA yield, concentration, purity ratios (A260/A280 and A260/A230), spectral profile and agarose gel electrophoresis analysis. The quality of the isolated DNA was further analysed for PCR inhibition using a murine specific ATP1A3 qPCR assay and mtDNA/Y-chromosome ratio determination assay. The suitability of the extracted DNA for downstream applications such as end-point SNP genotyping, was tested using PCR-RFLP analysis of the AGTR1-1166A>C variant, a mirSNP having pharmacogenetic relevance in cardiovascular diseases. Compared to the traditional phenol-chloroform/proteinase-K method, our results indicated the Rapid-Method to be a more suitable protocol for genomic DNA extraction from human whole blood in terms of DNA quantity, quality, safety, processing time and cost. The Rapid-Method, which is based on a simple salting-out procedure, is not only safe and cost-effective, but also has the added advantage of being scaled up to process variable sample volumes, thus enabling it to be applied in large-scale epidemiological studies.
Q: Replacing hundreds of files with one simple check box check Is there a simple or a more compact way to do this with a large number of files with one check-box (checked/unchecked), i have i think few thousand lines to put inside the code and i can sort them by year, or by type: private void CheckBox() { try { switch (checkBox.IsChecked) { case true: { const string disable_picture100 = "images/disabled/picture100.png"; const string picture100 = "images\\disabled\\picture100.png"; Records[picture100].ReplaceContents(imagesPath, disable_picture100, content.FileRoot); const string disable_picture101 = "images/disabled/picture101.png"; const string picture101 = "images\\disabled\\picture101.png"; Records[picture101].ReplaceContents(imagesPath, disable_picture101, content.FileRoot); const string disable_picture102 = "images/disabled/picture102.png"; const string picture102 = "images\\disabled\\picture102.png"; Records[picture102].ReplaceContents(imagesPath, disable_picture102, content.FileRoot); UpdateImage(); } break; case false: { const string enable_picture100 = "images/enabled/picture100.png"; const string picture100 = "images\\enabled\\picture100.png"; Records[picture100].ReplaceContents(imagesPath, enable_picture100, content.FileRoot); const string enable_picture101 = "images/enabled/picture101.png"; const string picture101 = "images\\enabled\\picture101.png"; Records[picture101].ReplaceContents(imagesPath, enable_picture101, content.FileRoot); const string enable_picture102 = "images/enabled/picture102.png"; const string picture102 = "images\\enabled\\picture102.png"; Records[picture102].ReplaceContents(imagesPath, enable_picture102, content.FileRoot); UpdateImage(); } break; } } catch (Exception ex) { //ignored } } Thank you! A: Is this roughly what you are looking for? string pictureName; string newPictureName; List<string> fileNames = new List<string>(); foreach(var name in fileNames) { if (checkBox.IsChecked) { pictureName = "images\\disabled\\" + name + ".png"; newPictureName = "images/disabled/" + name + ".png"; } else { pictureName = "images\\enabled\\" + name + ".png"; newPictureName = "images/enabled/" + name + ".png"; } } Records[pictureName].ReplaceContents(imagesPath, newPictureName, content.FileRoot); Let me know if not.
Consumerization of IT Why VLAN-based grouping or “sandbox” is inadequate for BYOD Management This blog is part one of a two-part blog series. Here, I will explain why a VLAN-based solution is not adequate for BYOD management. Recent trends in Enterprise Mobility and smart devices like tablets and smartphones are giving users more choices and power through the use of customized and personalized devices at home and in the enterprise. Personalization involves using technology that empower individuals to be treated based on personal attributes and preferences rather than as part of a group. Yes, it is easier and may be cheaper for organizations to allow customization by treating individuals or devices as a group, but this does not enable individuals to consume and produce based on their personal profile and capabilities. Today, any of us can now communicate with anybody else, anywhere in the world, at costs close to zero. We can set up our own custom websites, blog and social pages. We can produce, publish, syndicate and choose what personal devices we use at work. We can customize our devices based on applications we use, bandwidth we need, when and how much we want to work whether in the office, at home or on the road. These choices and the ability to Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) to the enterprise is allowing people to be more happy, creative, productive and valuable as unique individuals rather than restricted to group options. This is why many organizations today are allowing employees and other users to use a variety of devices in the corporate network, regardless of whether they are owned by the organization or the individuals (BYOD). As a result of these benefits, many organizations have asked their IT departments to enable BYOD and corporate-owned devices that enable users to connect these devices via WiFi (or wired Ethernet) to the corporate infrastructure so that users can have full access to specific services, based on user profile and devices used – without compromising security and adding more staff Some organizations think there are two ways to deploy BYOD management : A VLAN-based approach essentially creates a Virtual LAN or a “sandbox” where groups of users are assigned based on their status. For example, if you use a guest VLAN, you configure your network so that the guest VLAN only goes out to the Internet. Or in a school, IT may create a ‘Students’ VLAN and a ‘Teachers’ VLAN where all the users of particular VLAN use the same group settings. Proponents of this approach argue that it provides all the requirements of BYOD: onboarding, user-based policy, network visibility of devices, and security. But the reality is that this approach is very much limited as it treats everyone as part of a group rather than as individuals – there is no personalization. For example, if a school wants to give a particular user within a predefined VLAN more bandwidth or network access during non-business hours, it cannot be easily and dynamically done. A new VLAN needs to be created and the user moved. Also, there is a false sense of security with VLANs. VLANS were designed for managing large LANs efficiently, by creating logical smaller workgroups, independent of physical location. As such, a hacker can hop across VLANS using several known techniques if adequate access controls between VLANS are not in place. The many issues of using VLANS for BYOD management include: No Auto discovery and multi-level profiling – which means they cannot provide granular identity attributes – this means IT has less flexibility on filtering and authorizing of particular users or devices Lack of rules-based policy for dynamic Personalization – this means individuals within a defined group cannot to be treated based on personal attributes, preferences or devices – for example if the organization wants ‘jail broken devices’ within the ‘Teachers’ VLAN restricted from certain servers, they won’t be able to do – they will have to create a new VLAN assigned for jail broken devices No visibility and trouble shooting capabilities – making it very difficult for IT to track usage and performance, and provide exceptional support to their users. VLAN-based solutions typically lack the visibility to discover important network analytics such as: top bandwidth users based on time of the day; and number of iPhone vs. Android users No ability to identify users and their devices – what if I want to be able to type a user’s name and immediately identify their connected devices and their locations? Or what if I want the system to notify me as soon as a “lost” device shows up in the network? A VLAN-based solution is not capable of such functionalities No ability to integrate with other mobility products like VDI, MDM and Firewalls – means IT has less control on resource management False sense of security- a VLAN function is more like “the lines on the highway” that are supposed to separate drivers based on type of drivers (depending on how fast you are driving). However, they don’t prevent bad drivers from swerving off onto another lane or stream and causing a disaster We believe, the better alternative to a VLAN-based approach is to implement a solution based on centralized management through the use of distributed policy, where the whole network (wired and wireless, multiple VLANs, etc) can be easily monitored, automated and controlled – based on individual profile of each user and their devices, location, time of day, network access, etc. This is a Network IAM solution and the Enterasys solution is called Mobile IAM Part two of this blog series will explain why a Network IAM solution like the Enterasys Mobile IAM makes more sense for BYOD management If you would like to share and collaborate on topics like this and others that include BYOD, Wi-Fi, SDN and Enterprise Mobility, please follow @akafel and I will follow you back.
Occlusal and functional evaluations in adults: a case report. The findings on an adult patient with mandibular asymmetry and temporomandibular dysfunction are presented. The patient had four first premolars extracted earlier, followed by a short treatment attempt. Control of tongue function and jaw posture before, during, and after active treatment helped achieve a functional occlusion and a relief of the symptoms of the temporomandibular dysfunction. Specific diagnostic (assessment of occlusion and jaw movements) as well as therapeutic means (lower removable appliance and crown reshaping) are described.
