Peripheral ulcerative keratitis in association with sarcoidosis.
Peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK) is a sight-threatening condition characterized by an epithelial defect, crescent-shaped stromal inflammation, and progressive stromal thinning. Peripheral ulcerative keratitis as a purely inflammatory entity is most commonly associated with collagen vascular diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, polyarteritis nodosa, Wegener granulomatosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and relapsing polychondritis. PUK can also be associated with infectious and inflammatory conditions such as hepatitis, syphilis, herpes simplex keratitis, fungal keratitis, Mooren ulcer, and marginal keratitis. We describe a case report of PUK associated with the inflammatory condition of sarcoidosis. |

Q:
Access the Raspberry Pi image on the SD card
I currently have an SD card with a non-running installation of Debian Squeeze. SSH on this card is enabled. However the system keeps rebooting. I would now like to delete the boot.rc file on the boot partition of the SD card from a Windows computer, but I fail.
Here is the problem: I have a Windows pc with an internal card reader (the only card reader available at the moment). I enter the card and can access it and rename boot.rc or delete it. But when I remove the card and put it back again, the boot.rc is back again or has its old name back. Deleting other files on that image results in the same - no effect. I tried pulling it out of the reader without unmounting and unmounting via the taskbar in the lower right Windows corner.
Could you please explain to me, how I can delete/rename boot.rc on the SD card with a Debian installation? Do I have to follow a special unmounting procedure? Right-clicking the SD card in Windows Explorer has a menu item "SG eject", but that shows no effect.
A:
This kind of "repairs" must be carried out under Linux, just because Windows is not reliable and generally too "invasive" for such things.
As suggested in the other answer, a Linux LiveCD could be the fastest solution. My favorite LiveCD/USB distribution is Knoppix but DSL could be sufficient for you specific case.
A similar solution (if you don't want to burn CDs or write USB pens) is to run a live distro inside a VM, giving to it the exclusive access to your card reader.
For what concerns your specific problem, my guess is that Windows is mounting the SD card filesystem read-only. BTW, Windows can't access ext2/ext3 partitions directly, so if you used an ext2/ext3 driver such as IFS probably you forgot to set its RW permissions.

Q:
how to create alias of table name in Rails ActiveRecords
select user_id, max(perception_score) as max, min(perception_score) as min from temp_user_notes group by user_id as t1;
I am trying to convert this sql query in rails active record but having a hard time to create aliases
A:
You can alias the table to another name in the from method of ActiveRecord.
For example, part of your query could be:
TempUserNote.
select("t1.user_id, (t1.max - t1.min) as std_deviation").
from(
TempUserNote.
select("user_id, max(perception_score) as max, min(perception_score) as min").
group(:user_id),

Challenges to developing countries after joining WTO: risk assessment of chemicals in food.
FAO/WHO encourages member countries to develop national food control measures based on risk assessment in order to assure proper protection level to consumers and facilitate fair trade. This is particularly important for developing countries as WTO members because it is clearly stated in the Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS) Agreement that: (a) SPS measures should be based on risk assessment techniques developed by relevant international organizations; and (b) Codex standards which is based on risk assessment are regarded as the international norm in trade dispute settlement. When conducting risk assessment on food chemicals (including additives and contaminants) in developing countries, in most cases it is not necessary to conduct their own hazard characterization because the ADIs or PTWIs of food chemicals developed by international expert groups (e.g. JECFA) are universally applicable and also developing countries do not have the resources to repeat those expensive toxicological studies. On the other hand, it is necessary to conduct exposure assessment in developing countries because exposure to food chemicals varies from country to country. This is not only crucial in setting national standards, but also very important for developing countries to participate in the process of developing Codex standards. In addition to food standard development, risk assessment is also useful in setting up priorities in imported food inspection and evaluating the success of various food safety control measures. |
Button failed to make it out of Q1 for the Brazilian Grand Prix, and rued a lack of balance from his car that resulted in a 17th-place starting spot.
“The car was well balanced yesterday, 10th-quickest, and today it’s a completely different car,” said Button, whose teammate Fernando Alonso made it to Q3 and will start 10th having, having lapped a second faster.
“Obviously you have the new engine, new gearbox, new rear-end on the car, but still…
“When it’s cooler, you normally pick up a lot more rear-end grip, but in the high-speed it’s just so on the nose that you destroy the rears for the low-speed.
“There’s no reason it should be so much on the nose, and it was like that since this morning, we’ve been off the pace and still are now.
“Only one more qualifying left, which at the moment I’m quite happy about. The last six races have been terrible, I don’t know why.” |

Up until now there hasn’t been a burger on the menu at The Old Sage, Dana Tough and Brian McCracken’s ten-month-old, smoke-fueled restaurant and bar on Capitol Hill. A bar without a burger? That’s like no S’mores at a campfire.
A burger builds trust. “A burger speaks to everyone, as opposed to say, lavender smoked pork cheeks,” said McCracken and Tough, speaking on the phone in tandem, as they tend to do. “You get someone to trust you on that level and they come in again and try other things.”
Sure, they could have copied either of the very fine burgers at their other joints–Tavern Law or Spur. But that would be so un-McCracken-and-Tough. Instead they built a new one, from the bun up.

Immunohistochemical detection of SWC3, CD2, CD3, CD4 and CD8 antigens in paraformaldehyde fixed and paraffin embedded porcine lymphoid tissue.
Identification of the different cell types of the immune system is important for in situ studies on the pathogenesis of infectious diseases in various animals, including the pig. Unfortunately, many monoclonal anti-leukocyte antibodies are only useful for staining frozen tissue sections with inherent poor tissue morphology, and are not readily adapted to formaldehyde fixed and paraffin embedded tissue with well preserved morphology. Seven well characterised monoclonal antibodies against porcine leukocyte antigens were tested on neutral buffered paraformaldehyde fixed and paraffin embedded porcine tissue sections using the highly sensitive tyramide signal amplification system. Combining this method with different antigen retrieval techniques enabled us to detect CD2, CD3, CD4, CD8 and SWC3 antigen expressing cells in porcine lymphoid tissue. Thus, we describe herein methods for the detection of several major cell types of the porcine immune system in fixed tissue with optimal preservation of histological details. |

Q:
cannot coerce type 'closure' to vector of type 'character'
I am trying to build an interactive scatter-plot using shiny. Using the iris data, I would like to have a user select the x and y dimensions of a scatter plot *petal vs sepal) and then output a simple scatter plot of the selected dimensions. Pretty straightforward.
First I needed to build a function that allows me to pass strings representing the dimensions to ggplot. I did this and tested it with static data. Works fine.
Next I define two dropdowns and two subsequent strings (using shiny) for petal and sepal dimensions (these are my x and y axis).
I next set the two string variables using shiny's reactive() function using a switch statement.
This appears to be where things go wrong.
The error I get is: Error: cannot coerce type 'closure' to vector of type 'character'
I've taken a number of steps to debug my code. I first plugged in hard coded dimensions (e.g. "Petal.Length") into the final line of my code output$myplot = renderPlot({myplotfunct( ...
This works great. The plot renders as I expect it to.
I then added a debug line to track the value of the string I am passing this plot function. Bingo. It's empty. Why is it empty?? Seems like it should be passed a value from the UI.r file.
Code is below.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
UI.R
library(shiny)
# Define UI for dataset viewer application
shinyUI(fluidPage(
# Application title
titlePanel("Shiny Text"),
# Sidebar with controls to select a dataset and specify the
# number of observations to view
sidebarLayout(
sidebarPanel(
selectInput("dataset1", "Choose a Sepal Measure:",
choices = c("Sepal Length", "Sepal Width")),
selectInput("dataset2", "Choose a Petal Measure:",
choices = c("Petal Length", "Petal Width"))
),
# Main Scatter Plot
mainPanel(
textOutput("testvar"),
plotOutput("myplot")
)
)
))
Server.R
library(shiny)
library(datasets)
library(ggplot2)
#Define a function to plot passed string variables in ggplot
myplotfunct = function(df, x_string, y_string) {
ggplot(df, aes_string(x = x_string, y = y_string)) + geom_point()
}
shinyServer(function(input, output) {
# Sepal Inputs
datasetInput1 <- reactive({
switch(input$dataset1,
"Sepal Length" = "Sepal.Length",
"Sepal Width" = "Sepal.Width")
})
# Petal Inputs
datasetInput2 <- reactive({
switch(input$dataset2,
"Petal Length" = "Petal.Length",
"Petal Width" = "Petal.Width")
})
#Debug print value of sting being passed
output$testvar = renderText(print(datasetInput1))
# Plot
output$myplot = renderPlot({myplotfunct(iris, datasetInput1, datasetInput2)})
})
A:
The call to datasetInput1 and datasetInput2 in the two last lines is the reason of the error.
You should instead call datasetInput1() and datasetInput2().
Otherwise R tries to convert the function to char.
Just by adding the (), the error disappears as you can see below:

Q:
Is there a Unix/Linux platform equivalent to Telligent Community?
Telligent Community combines blogs, wikis, forums, and file-sharing capabilities into a single product with single sign-on, using all Microsoft technologies. Is there an equivalent offering that runs on Unix/Linux? Or would I have to pick and choose individual product offerings and figure out another option for single sign-on across them? Are there plug-ins for something like WordPress or MovableType that might add the necessary functionality?
A friend of mine is looking to add a "members-only" area to her company's website, and since they're hosted on Dreamhost (and can't afford StackExchange pricing yet), I'm trying to find other options for them.
A:
I would guess that Drupal has everything you need available.
Other than that, the only thing that springs to mind is trawling through the Wikipedia list of content management systems and seeing if any take your fancy.

Q:
How do I remove words in one list from another list (Set operation)
I have a list of word forms produced from a text. This list includes proper names (e.g. John, Mary, Edinburgh). In another field I have a list of proper names. I want to get a list of all word forms without the proper names.
I actually need
allWordForms MINUS properNames
Arrays may be used like sets. But we only have the set operations Union and Intersect.
The script so far
on mouseUp
put field "allWordForms" into tWordForms
split tWordForms by return
-- tWordForms is now an array
put field "properNames" into tProperNames
split tProperNames by return
-- tProperNames is now an array
-- .....
repeat
-- .....
-- .....
end repeat
combine tWordForms using return
put tWordForms into field "wordFormsWithoutProperNames"
end mouseUp
How does the repeat loop look like?
And here is an example.
The field "allWordForms" contains
Mary
and
John
came
yesterday
They
want
to
move
from
Maryland
to
Petersbourough
`
The field "properNames" contains
John
Mary
Maryland
Peter
Petersbourough
The desired result is to have a copy of the list allWordForms with the proper names removed.
and
came
yesterday
They
want
to
move
from
to
A:
Here's a possible solution;
on mouseUp
put field "allWordForms" into tWordForms
put field "properNames" into tProperNames
# replace proper names
repeat for each line tProperName in tProperNames
replace tProperName with empty in tWordForms
end repeat
# remove blank lines
replace LF & LF with LF in tWordForms
put tWordForms into field "wordFormsWithoutProperNames"
end mouseUp
another solution taking your extra info into account;
on mouseUp
put field "allWordForms" & LF into tWordForms
put field "properNames" into tProperNames
repeat for each line tProperName in tProperNames
replace tProperName & LF with empty in tWordForms
end repeat
put tWordForms into field "wordFormsWithoutProperNames"
end mouseUp

Q:
certified pdf C#
How can i create certified pdf with c#?
A:
A certified PDF is basically a PDF that has been digitally signed using a certificate that is trusted by the Adobe Root Certificate. This service is called Adobe Certified Document Services. When your document is signed it displays a blue ribbon at the top and verifies that the document is from you and it hasn't been tampered with.
You can get the certificate from a participant of the service, we use one called GlobalSign
Once you have the certificate you need to get a device to actually sign the documents, this can be a USB stick that you plug into your PC or a PCI HSM card that sits in a server for high volume signing.
Once you have this in place your PDF's will display the blue ribbon
In our system we used Morphon Tom to actually sign the PDFs, it's a webservice that you simply send a PDF to and it returns it signed using your certificate.
Hope this gets you started!

The shooting of Puri Jagannadh’s son Aakash Puri’s debut film as hero, ‘Andhra Pori’, was completed recently and the post production work is going on currently. K.Raghavendra Rao, who attended the event as chief guest, launched the motion poster and official website of the film.
K.Raghavendra Rao said, “Many beautiful films were produced by Prasad Productions banner. They made many actors as stars. I hope ‘Andhra Pori’ produced by that banner will be a big hit. I wish the team all the very best”.
Ramesh Prasad said, “Raghavendra Rao and I are family friends. I am very happy that he attended this event. We remade Marathi super hit film ‘Time Pass’ as ‘Andhra Pori’ in Telugu. We hope this film will be a bigger hit than the original version”.
Raj Madiraju said, “I thank Raghavendra Rao sir for launching the motion poster.Whenever I talk to him, it would be a very enriching experience. I learnt so much about film making from him. I am really fortunate that I directed two films in a big production house like Prasad Productions. Many questioned me why I roped in Ulka Gupta for ‘Andhra Pori’ and not a Telugu girl. But I liked the commitment of Ulka Gupta and selected her. Aakash acted very well. I am very happy that both of them are part of this film. I thank everyone who supported us in this journey”.
Aakash Puri said that the film is a very good Teenage love story and he did a very good role. He is confident that everyone will like the film. Ulka Guptha thanked the director and producer for giving her chance to act in the film.

[Structure and mechanism of functioning of centers of fibrin polymerization].
Fibrinogen takes part in a lot of physiological and pathological processes in the organism. Its most important function consists in preventing blood leakage through the injured wall of the blood vessel. Proteolytic enzyme thrombin generated in the site of the injury splits low-molecular fibrinopeptides A and B from fibrinogen and transforms the latter into the monomeric fibrin which is spontaneously polymerized with formation of a clot of blood closing a lumen of the injured vessel. Fibrin polymerization that completes the stages of blood coagulation is the example of self-assembling of supermolecular biological structures in blood coagulation system. Clearing-up of this process mechanisms is of great theoretical and practical importance, in particular, for clinical medicine connected with treatment of hemorrhages and thromboses. |

Towards Quantifying Carrion Biomass in Ecosystems.
The decomposition of animal biomass (carrion) contributes to the recycling of energy and nutrients through ecosystems. Whereas the role of plant decomposition in ecosystems is broadly recognised, the significance of carrion to ecosystem functioning remains poorly understood. Quantitative data on carrion biomass are lacking and there is no clear pathway towards improved knowledge in this area. Here, we present a framework to show how quantities derived from individual carcasses can be scaled up using population metrics, allowing for comparisons among ecosystems and other forms of biomass. Our framework facilitates the generation of new data that is critical to building a quantitative understanding of the contribution of carrion to trophic processes and ecosystem stocks and flows. |
Generally, it is important for a driver to securely monitor side and rear surroundings of a vehicle when the driver tries to perform a lane change or backing of the vehicle in order to prevent a traffic accident.
For a lane change or backing of a vehicle, a driver generally conducts such operations after monitoring the side and rear surroundings of the vehicle using side and room mirrors and determining that there are no obstacles around the vehicle.
However, inexperienced drivers are not used to checking the side and rear surroundings using the side and room mirrors, thereby resulting in the risk of traffic accidents being caused.
To solve this problem, a related art discloses a camera unit which includes a camera provided on a rear side of a vehicle to take images of the side and rear surroundings of the vehicle, and a monitor provided on an interior of the vehicle to display the images for monitoring of the surroundings of the vehicle. However, when a vehicle is driven in muddy environment or rainy weather, for example, a camera lens may be contaminated with foreign substances, making it impossible for the camera unit to provide a clean display.
Further, particularly for a content management system (CMS) monitoring all of a front, sides, and rear surroundings of a vehicle, a separate driving unit has to be provided to remove foreign substances dirtying the camera lens, causing increased manufacturing cost and complex configuration of the CMS system.
The foregoing is intended merely to aid in the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and is not intended to mean that the present disclosure falls within the purview of the related art that is already known to those skilled in the art. |
The present invention relates to metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) devices and, more particularly, to a novel MOS-pilot structure for providing a pilot current which is an accurate representation of the total current then flowing in an insulated gate transistor (IGT).
The total current flowing in an operational IGT consists of two components' the MOS channel current and the bipolar current. The MOS channel current flows in response to a voltage being applied to the gate of the IGT, and the bipolar current is the current which is conducted by the bipolar transistor formed by the lower three semiconductor layers of the IGT when a voltage is also applied to the anode of the IGT.
A known prior art IGT pilot structure that allows sensing of the bipolar current has a base region contact connected to ground through a sense resistor This bipolar pilot is undesirably subject to inaccuracies because the bipolar current may not linearly track the main IGT current due to fluctuations in the gain of the bipolar transistor and because of the recombination of the electrons and holes in the drift region of the IGT substrate due to the lifetime of the majority and minority current carriers. Additionally, during turn-off the bipolar current can develop an undesirably large potential difference across the sense resistor between the IGT's base region and ground relative to the cathode of the main IGT cell and ground which can cause avalanche breakdown of the main IGT cell.
Another IGT pilot structure allows the combined MOS channel current and the bipolar current to be sensed. This MOS-pilot structure has a common contact electrical/ connected to both the emitter region and the base region of the IGT and also through a sense resistor to ground. This pilot structure will more accurately track the main IGT current but can also develop the undesirably large potential difference across the sense resistor during turn-off, which can cause avalanche breakdown of the IGT.
It is accordingly a primary object of the present invention to provide a novel IGT MOS-pilot structure which is not subject to the foregoing disadvantages.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a novel MOS-pilot for an IGT which is simple in construction and inexpensive to manufacture.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a MOS-pilot for a multiplicity of IGT cell interconnected in a lattice structure by modifying the lattice structure.
These and other objects of the invention, together with the features and advantages thereof, will become apparent from the following detailed specification when read with the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals refer to like elements. |
Q:
What is meant by left most bound for generic type or a method and why was this policy chosen for type erasure?
From Angelika Langer's generic FAQ:
Eliding type parameters.
When the compiler finds the definition of a generic type or method, it
removes all occurrences of the type parameters and replaces them by
their leftmost bound, or type Object if no bound had been specified.
Edit: As I understood in this case leftmost bound means what it means literally i.e farthest to the left in the list of bounds. I want to understand why was this policy chosen?
A:
In this case "leftmost" is not technical terminology. It literally means "farthest to the left". It simply means that when the type parameter has several bounds (restrictions) like this:
T extends Callable<Long> & Runnable
the compiler replaces all occurances of the type parameter T with the bound that is farthest to the left (in this case that's Callable<Long>):
Meaning that, as in Angelika's example, this:
private T task1, task2;
is replaced with this:
private Callable task1, task2;
A:
There is no reason. They just need to pick one. The whole thing sucks. It's like asking which one of your children you want to save. You want to save all, duh. But they don't let you.

It has the reputation of being one of America's most tolerant cities and an air of freedom lingers in the streets; its cosmopolitan atmosphere, its vertiginous hills tackled by cable cars, its elegant Victorian houses, the cultural patchwork of its neighbourhoods: visitors have their work cut out for them!
The stars are aligned in San Francisco this week, as Michael Tusk (Quince) shares his kitchen with David Barzelay (Lazy Bear), Stuart Brioza (State Bird Provisions/The Progress), David Kinch (Manresa), Matthew Kirkley (Coi), and Mourad Lahlou (Mourad). Below, Tusk, Kinch, and Lahlou dish on breakfast, shopping for ingredients, and how they spend their precious free time.

The control system for controlling the speed of a turbine or other rotating member typically includes means for providing a setpoint or reference signal that represents the desired rotational speed. A servo circuit compares the setpoint signal with a feedback signal representing the actual speed to produce an error signal that is used to minimize the difference between the setpoint and actual speeds. Although for some applications a setpoint controller could simply comprise a potentiometer, there are many applications for which a more precise and versatile method of controlling the setpoint is required. For example, during testing of a propeller turbine drive, it may be required to rotate the propeller at a known rate for a prescribed time period, then accelerate the propeller to a second known rate at a prescribed ramping (i.e., acceleration) rate, etc. In carrying out such a program, the convenience and versatility of the setpoint controller can be a significant factor in minimizing testing time, an important consideration during wind tunnel testing in which the on-line testing time is limited and expensive. An even more demanding application for a setpoint controller is one in which the speed of two related elements must be controlled. An example of such an application is wind tunnel testing of a twin turbine counter-rotating propeller system for a jet aircraft engine. To test such a system, it is necessary to rapidly cycle between different speed levels for the different propellers, and to provide means for precisely establishing the relative speeds and relative acceleration or decelerations of the individual propellers. No prior setpoint controller or controller systems have been found adequate to efficiently test such a system. |

Business acceleration program wrapping up
The first cohort of the Roanoke-Blacksburg Accelerator RAMP program is nearly complete - and business leaders involved in the program say it's already paying off.
Leaders of six up-and-coming businesses in the Roanoke and Blacksburg region were partnered with mentors and special resources to help them learn and grow during a six month program.
The CEO of Volatia Language Network told WFXR News that he's grateful for the advice - and he wishes he had sought out more input and feedback when he first launched his business.
"What I would change is really allow myself to be more vulnerable earlier on, instead of thinking I've got this, we'll do just fine. I'm fortunate and thankful that I've always, so far, had the ability to rely on mentors and actually really listen and allow myself to be coachable," said Baraka Kasango. "The ability to actually develop innovations that the clients are not asking for. So we're providing something new through a very well articulated message that they have given without even knowing that they were giving it."
RAMP Director Mary Miller said she's already working on ways to improve and advance courses and partnerships for the next cohort, and that she is proud of the success she is already seeing.
"Entrepneuers are often independent because they've gotten to where they are for their own shear guts and their independence, so getting them to a point where they want to be coached is alittle bit of a challenge, because they've been somewhat successful on their gut or their own knowledge," said Miller.
The first cohort of the RAMP program is set to wrap up in December, but Miller said the partnerships and mentoring will continue for years to come. |

How to Qualify for PACE Financing and Finally Implement the Energy Conservation Measures You’ve Been Dreaming About!
Do your tenants and customers complain about air quality and the physical work environment? It often sounds like this: “I’m too hot,” “I’m too cold.” Or worse, “There’s a funny smell and I think it’s making me sick.”
You fix and you fix and you fix - the vents, the windows, the HVAC. But the improvements are slight and they don’t last long.
And you’ve noticed that your energy bills have nearly doubled over the last few years.
Maybe you’ve heard that LED lighting is the wave (pun intended) of the future. You may have also heard that LED lighting is expensive. While upfront costs may be higher than what you’re using now, in the long run, LEDs come out ahead in several areas.
Here we’ll provide five solid reasons your facility should invest in LED lighting. Hopefully they will help you determine if making the switch is truly the best thing for your facility as well as gain management approval when approaching them about funding the upgrade.
How engineers can work better with the architect so they can design and build a more energy efficient building and better serve the client.
Energy efficiency has been the buzzword among building engineers, and many architects, for some time now. But if a new building is being constructed, added on to or renovated, energy efficiency may not be top-of-mind to the developer. Here’s why it should be, and some tips on how to incorporate energy efficiency measures that make everyone – especially the client – happy.
One of the best things you can do is start thinking about energy early on. The earlier the better! Why? Creating an energy efficient building that is also functional and aesthetically pleasing takes time. Whether or not you’re building for LEED® certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), you can build to USGBC’s guidelines for energy efficiency. Help your client understand that there are no “cookie-cutter” answers here. Each project is unique and will require its own unique solutions. It may cost a little more up front, but it will save the client money throughout the life of the building.
Here in the Midwest we are entering the summer season with hot and humid weather expected for the next few months. During this time, the cost of cooling buildings goes up considerably. High temperatures and high humidity combine to increase the energy used by cooling equipment.
Beyond typical and low or no-cost energy saving measures you should already be doing (see “HVAC Gains with No Budget Pains”), here are three ways to reduce the potential for wasting energy in commercial and industrial buildings. Most people don’t usually consider these, but they can make a huge difference.
... and More You Shouldn’t Have Missed at High Performance Buildings + Workplaces
I recently returned from the NFMT High-Performance Building and Workplaces (HBP+W) conference in Austin, Texas. If you know me, you know that over the years I have attended hundreds of these types of industry conferences, as an attendee, a business owner, an exhibitor, and more recently as a presenter, workshop leader and keynote speaker.
There is no better opportunity to network with your peers, find out what’s new, and learn industry best practices. The NFMT/HPB+W events always have speakers with timely messages and practical information. Many of the exhibitors offer hands-on opportunities to see how you can improve your operations, save money and get better results with the latest in products and technology.
Here are five reasons attending HPB+W was absolutely worth my time and my company’s money! |

I Don't Hear You Talking: a silence on Silence Culture
A lot of ink has been spilt over trigger warnings lately. And I don't want to write about it because I feel like I don't have much to add to the conversation. But when I stop, that feeling nags at me. You can't think with your mouth open; and as someone who always had issues keeping her damn mouth shut, it took me a long time to learn that to listen you must be silent. ... And yet. ... And yet, when someone experiences strong emotions about her own marginalization, but feels compelled to self-silence: that's when you need to listen harder.
Because there are a lot of voices I know full well, and I don't hear them talking.
I know them because they're the voices of my friends, and among friends we talk about things we don't talk about. In the workaday world we put on our faces and never hint at the behemoths raging through our china cabinets. And when we let down our hair, those faces stay on, because you always know who might be listening. And behind closed doors, still, we keep them on because elsewise love would be too tragic. But in secret spaces, we talk. We are, every one of us, damaged. I may not know who hurt you yet, I may not know your story of pain, but I never assume there isn't one; because every single person I've known, when we get close enough, they tell me things we don't talk about. Sometimes it takes years before they feel safe enough, sometimes they never feel safe enough, but if they've ever lowered their guard to me, they've told me. Every. single. person.
We are born and raised and live in a world drenched in abuse. And that abuse doesn't leave scars, it leaves open wounds waiting to have dirt rubbed in them. The first rule of what doesn't happen is that it cannot be spoken of. So healing only happens in those secret spaces, one-on-one, in the dark of night, far far from friends and strangers alike. This privatization of healing only compounds the problem of abuse. When we cannot see past others' faces, when we cannot see the living wounds they bear, when we do not hear their daily resistance against reiterations of violence, we come to think that somehow maybe they haven't been hurt as badly as we. When we see our own people succeed, or see leaders of resistance and "survivors" and "healed" voices speaking up against the injustice of the world, we think that somehow maybe they must be stronger than us, more resilient than us, more determined than us. When we cannot witness their struggle, we think that somehow maybe when they go to bed at nights they need not take the time to scrub out that daily dirt from their wounds. And when we cannot bear that witness, we see ourselves as lesser, broken, impostors.
These are the voices I do not hear speaking out, or hear speaking in only roundabout whispers. These are the voices for whom trigger warnings are writ. As so precisely put by Aoife,
Here's something I need you to understand: the vast majority of students when 'triggered' don't write howlers to department heads or flip laptops over in crowded classrooms for YouTube counts.
On the contrary, they most often shut down and collapse into numbness.
That numbness, that collapse, is the last tool our minds have to keep our faces in place when some sudden shock reopens sore wounds. The second rule of what we do not talk about is that wounds never heal, not entirely. We —some of us— can manage not flinching when someone raises their hand. We —some of us— learn to laugh along when someone touches our back. We —some of us— learn to feel safe in a room alone with a man. We —some of us— learn to turn blind to the "tranny" jokes, to the blackface, to the jibes about trailer parks and country living, to the "sex" scene where she lay sleeping, the scene where he takes the other man 'round back, the man who slaps his wife, the mother who cuffs her child, being told to go pick a switch, to the child starving on the street, to the college kids playing "tricks" on the homeless. We —some of us— learn to live as stone. But stone don't heal, and we all have our rituals of self-care we won't talk about. But when everywhere all you ever see is stone, you know your flesh will never make it if the light still shines in your eyes.
And I too am guilty of this silence culture. Because the fact of the matter is, in this day and age, to speak is to jeopardize my career. I can talk about being trans or being a dyke, and I can at least pretend that the laws on the books will mean a damn. But if I talk about my childhood, I won't be seen as an adult. If I talk about my abuse, I won't be seen as stable. If I bring up my mental life, I won't be seen as professional. If I talk about spoons, I won't be seen as reliable. And so I stuff it down and self-silence and hide what it's like, that daily living with depression and PTSD, til some trigger sets it off and out comes that rage which grows on silence. Some full-force punch to the gut, some words like "I'm not sure suicide is ever the answer" and my eyes go black, and words come out, and they sound nice enough, but every one means "I hate you".
Not to be rude, but sometimes suicide is the answer. It may not be the best answer, but it is an answer. And, unfortunately, sometimes that is all that's required. Sometimes a terrible fucking answer is the only answer to be found.
I say this as someone who's spent more of her life being suicidal than not, as someone who's survived multiple attempts, as someone whose friends have almost invariably spent years being suicidal. Yes, it sucks. And no, it doesn't "solve" anything. But think of the suffering of the victim. It is incredibly difficult to overcome the self-preservation instinct. Profoundly difficult. Imagine the volume of suffering it takes, the depths and duration of misery required to actively overcome the single most powerful compulsion any living creature can experience. There comes a point, long after endurance has already given out, when the full weight of that volume cannot be borne.
Whenever this happens, my thoughts are always with the victim. I cannot help but empathize with that terrible terrible suffering
Because the fact of the matter is, I'm too scared to talk. We live in a culture where suicide is "the easy way" and you're supposed to "take it like a man", but the fact of the matter is noone can take it. We are, every one of us, damaged. We privatize our healing because the first rule of abuse is that it must never be mentioned, must never never be discussed. The learning of silence is the first abuse: it is how we are taught to abuse ourselves, to never never hear that we're not alone.
This isn't about suicide and depression. Isn't about rape and racism. Isn't about violence and neglect. This is about silence. About the words we don't use to not say what you can't talk about. This is about learning to speak using words. About how we must open our mouths in order to listen. |
Fire detection systems in prisons often incorporate wall mounted smoke detectors in each cell. To prevent tampering with the smoke detectors by inmates, the smoke detectors are generally covered by enclosures known as detector guards which are mounted to the wall around the smoke detectors. The detector guard is generally a box-like enclosure made of a heavy-duty perforated metal sheet or mesh. When mounted to the wall, the detector guard projects out from the wall, creating a risk that an inmate could injure or kill himself/herself by hanging from a belt or piece of cloth looped over the top surface of the detector guard.
The present invention provides a shield for a wall mounted smoke detector guard, or enclosure, which prevents looped items from being hung on the shield and the enclosure. The enclosure has a top surface formed of screen material. The shield includes a mounting surface or portion for mounting to a wall. A downwardly sloping surface structure extends from the mounting surface for extending above the top surface of the enclosure. The downwardly sloping surface structure has sufficient slope and length for preventing items from being hung on the shield and the enclosure while at the same time providing a direct smoke flow path therepast to the top surface of the enclosure.
In preferred embodiments, the downwardly sloping surface structure includes two downwardly angled ribs extending from opposite ends of the mounting surface. The shield is preferably formed of sheet metal with the ribs being bent at right angles relative to the mounting surface. The mounting surface is sized for mounting above the top surface of the smoke detector enclosure and for positioning the ribs against opposite sides of the enclosure for preventing the insertion of items therebetween. The ribs are sized to extend at least as far as the front surface of the enclosure and have rear ends extending below the mounting surface that are separated from the mounting surface by slots. The slots enable the ribs to be bent during manufacturing such that the rear ends may extend close to the wall when mounted for preventing the insertion of items therebetween.
The present invention also provides an enclosure system for a wall mounted smoke detector which includes an enclosure for surrounding and protecting the smoke detector. The enclosure is mounted to a wall and has a top surface formed of screen material. A shield extends above the top surface of the enclosure. The shield has a downwardly sloping surface structure that has sufficient slope and length for preventing items from being hung on the shield and the enclosure while at the same time providing a direct smoke flow path therepast to the top surface of the enclosure.
The present invention shield provides a simple and effective solution for preventing looped items from being hung from a smoke detector guard that does not interfere with the flow of smoke to the smoke detector in the event of a fire. As a result, the present invention shield does not compromise the ability of the smoke detector to detect fires. |
Q:
find head tag from ajax response
I searched for this simple topic but i couldn't find anything, sorry. I need to ask you.
I'm getting the sucess response from ajax, only interested in ".someclass" part, as the following code says:
<code>
function TITO(){
$.ajax({
url: 'www.tito.com/index.html',
success:
function(response){
$divvy = $(response).find('.someclass');
$('#finaldiv').html($divvy);
},
});
};
</code>
But the thing is that .someclass is a table, and i get it totally unformatted (no styles), just it keeps its structure (table tbody tr th, etc).
What i want is to keeps the original format, and i know that those instructions are on the head tag in the ajaxed index.html (linked css file or specified just there).
How can get the head tag too in my response, and then append $divvy after that, so the table shows styled?
I know to get class (.class) or id (#id) but i don't know how to reach tags without ids or classes :)
Many thanks.
gretz,
Sergio.
A:
$(response).find('head');
the "find" method from jquery can get as a par a selector like you have you fint ('.someclass"). you used there a css selector for classes with the dot. you can use # for id as you mentioned before and you can use 'nothing' for tags. you can read more about the css selectors: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Getting_started/Selectors .

Q:
How to get data from a SQL database into storage blob for reference data
I have a azure SQL database and want to use the data from the database for Azure Stream Analytics - I know that I have to use a Blob Storage in order to use my data as reference data for my Stream Analytics Job.
Question
Now what would be the best way to get my SQL data into the Stream Analytics Job to enrich my incoming data?
A:
You need to use the 'Azure data factory'. The 'data factory' can be used to orchestrate and automate the movement and transformation of your reference data from other cloud or on-premise data stores.
Check this article for a nice example on how to pull in data from a SQL Azure database to the Blob storage - Refreshing reference data
Some links on 'Azure data factory' -
Introduction to Azure Data Factory
Moving data using Azure Data Factory
A:
Remarks to Previous Answer
Azure Data Factory is a whole new product and oversized, I think it's not appropriate for the relatively small size of what I want to do.
Answer
To get the SQL data into the Stream Analytics you have to save it in a Blob Storage (a simple WebApp is enough) and then it can be used to inside the Stream Analytics to enrich the data which is coming from the IoT Hub (e.g. appending a location to an object which is known to the front end but has no location in the front end due to data separation concerns).
In the Azure Blob Storage a snapshot from the current state of the SQL database is stored - this is okay for me because neither the amount nor the location of my objects changes very often, so updates to the Blob Storage are very infrequent.
In the Azure Stream Analytics a Blob Storage can be used to append information to a model, so here the model ids can be matched and a location can be appended, then the modified model can be saved again to a blob storage for a later data analysis.

What to Do with Apartment Mold
Property owners often do their best to keep their units clean for tenants and prospective renters. Unfortunately, they are not able to control everything. If something goes wrong or a leak is not found mold can develop. Apartment mold is a difficult problem to remediate and a hassle for everyone involved. If you do find mold in your unit there are a few things you can do in order to help take care of the problem.
Take Pictures and Call Your Landlord
When you’re the tenant, proper documentation of any issues in your apartment is critical. That is why writing down issues and taking pictures is important. If you spot mold, the first thing you should do is contact the landlord. Be sure to email them even after you call them because this helps provide a paper trail. It is their responsibility to repair their property, but your rights will be protected as long as you have documentation and evidence.
Wait for an Air Quality Test
Before apartment mold can be removed it is important to discover what type of mold there is. This will help professionals be able to get rid of it properly. It can also help your doctor if you’re having issues with the mold. Your doctor can help with the temporary health problems while the mold problem is being taken care of.
Document Everything
Most likely, your landlord will want to take care of the problem immediately. It is just good business practice to handle it as soon as possible. Some landlords may push back, however. This is why it is important to document everything on your end. If you need to speak with a lawyer in order to protect your rights things will go much easier if you have everything documented on your end. Legal action might even push the landlord into taking action against the problem.
Worst Case: Move Out
Moving out is a last resort option, but your health is the most important factor here. If you’re having severe negative health effects from the mold and your landlord refuses to do anything about it even after the legal process begins then moving out may be your only recourse. You must notify the landlord that you are breaking your lease early and recruit that you get your full security deposit back. There is no guarantee the landlord will agree to these terms, but if you have filed a lawsuit against them you will at least have done all you can do. |

Q:
Core Data fetching relationship objects
in my app i have two entities: Members and Lists. they both have a one-to-many relationships (member can have more than one list, list can have more than one member). now i want to fetch the lists belonging to a specific member. here is my code:
WSAppDelegate *appDelegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
NSManagedObjectContext *context = [appDelegate managedObjectContext];
NSFetchRequest *fetchRequest = [[NSFetchRequest alloc] init];
NSEntityDescription *entity = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"Lists" inManagedObjectContext:context];
[fetchRequest setEntity:entity];
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"has_members contains[cd] %@", [self.currentMember valueForKey:@"name"]]];
[fetchRequest setPredicate:predicate];
NSError *error;
NSArray *fetchedObjects = [context executeFetchRequest:fetchRequest error:&error];
if (fetchedObjects == nil) {
// Handle the error.
NSLog(@"NO LISTS AVAILABLE IN REFRESH");
}
self.currentMember is a managed object of the user himself.
Note: member has name, (NSSet*) member_of_list
list has list_name, has-members
Problem: when i run the code it's breaking at the fetchedObjects array. i suspect that there is something wrong with the NSPredicate but i don't know where and how to fix it. can any one point out the problem?
A:
First, the relationship you describe between Member (Calling an entity in a plural form is confusing) and List is many-to-many.
Second, instead of using CoreData's inherent object graph capabilities, you went and "rolled your own" relationship between the entities (you should use your interface builder to model a CoreData relationship between the two entities).
See HERE how to do that.
after you model your data, your predicate should look something like:
//Not tested
NSPredicate* p = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"ANY members = %@",self.currentMember];
DO NOT pass a formatted string to create the predicate, use NSPredicate formatting to substitute parameters or you will not be able to accomplish your goal (in most cases).

An approach to evaluate interrelationships among lean attributes of manufacturing systems: A case study based on lean enterprises
Abstract:
Lean philosophy has received more emphasize during recent times due to its robust features which facilitate productive manufacturing environments in companies regardless of the type of industry. However, enormous approaches taken to implement lean manufacturing systems inside factories, have failed to achieve desired objectives. This is mainly due to the focus on individual lean attributes rather than considering their collective impact on a system. This paper suggested an approach to measure correlations among lean attributes using their degrees of implementation. These correlations will help organizations to identify lean attributes which are interrelated. The quest is how to measure the degree to which each lean attribute has been implemented within the organization. Different companies have varying levels of lean implementations. Therefore identifying the leanness requires the organization to compare itself against a proxy company who has also implemented similar lean attributes. This research suggested an approach to identify a proxy company and then evaluate the degrees of lean attribute implementations of the selected company. The fuzzy membership functions were used to calculate the degrees. These degrees were then used to figure out possible correlations among lean attributes. The research findings showed that visual feedback made available to the factory floor had triggered a positive impact on other lean attributes in most circumstances. |

Remote evaluation
In computer science, remote evaluation is a general term for any technology that involves the transmission of executable software code from a client computer to a server computer for subsequent execution at the server. After the code has finished executing, the results of its execution are sent back to the client.
Remote evaluation belongs to the family of mobile code, within the field of code mobility. An example for remote evaluation is grid computing: An executable task may be sent to a specific computer in the grid. After the execution has terminated, the result is sent back to the client. The client in turn may have to reassemble the different results of multiple concurrently calculated subtasks into one single result.

The parrot was fully-grown with a bad attitude and worse vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive. Those that weren't expletives were, to say the least very rude.
Jerry tried hard to change the bird's attitude and was constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, anything he could think of to try and set a good example. Nothing worked.
He yelled at the bird and the bird yelled back. He shook the bird and the bird just got angrier and became even more rude. Finally in a moment of desperation. Jerry put the parrot in the FREEZER.
For a few moments he heard the bird squawk and kick and scream. Then suddenly, there was a ----
-Not a sound for half a minute. Jerry was frightened that he might have hurt the bird and quickly opened the freezer door.
The Parrot calmly stepped out onto Jerry's extended arm and said: "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I will endeavor at once to correct my behavior. I really am truly sorry and beg your forgiveness."
Jerry was astonished at the bird's change in attitude and was about to ask what had made the difference and caused such a dramatic change when the parrot continued: "May I ask what the chicken did???" |

Does What O.J. Simpson Allegedly Said About The Knife Found On His Property Sound Like A Confession To You?
Last week, we (okay, TMZ) broke the news that a knife was found buried on O.J. Simpson’s Brentwood property and withheld from evidence for years.
Initial analysis, however, determined it was inconsistent with the weapon used to kill Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
That doesn’t prove anything. I own many knives, I’m sure O.J. had plenty, too.
But in a story about O.J.’s manager at the time of the crime, who claims he knows who committed the murders but can’t say, the Daily Mail dropped this tidbit (which is possibly of dubious veracity).
Simpson burst into loud, uncontrollable laughter when he heard the news that the LAPD was testing a knife as the murder weapon that was found at his former Brentwood mansion.
‘It’s complete bulls**t. But this is all they got. It’s pathetic, really pathetic,’ Simpson told a prison source. ‘Let me tell ya’ll something, I’m not that stupid, I got on a plane that night going to Chicago, that’s all I’m gonna say.’
Uhhhh, that’s not a denial.
Of course, O.J. also practically admitted to the murders in a tell-all book that was eventually scrapped, so you know. It’s not like he’s got that much to hide. |
‘I want never gets.’She always says this. It’s not as if I'm asking for the moon, or to date her boyfriend.I ask her again. Same answer. (This could get boring.)‘Pretty please?’‘No chance.’‘For goodness sake, Sis, all I want is to borrow your hair straighteners!’

Q:
Is this an appropriate use of generics?
Is it really necessary to use the 'extends BoardGame'?
If I remove it my code still works, but I'm not sure if I should.
I'm doing that because of the copy() method.
Any suggestions.
Thanks
public interface BoardGame<GAME extends BoardGame>
{
GAME getGame();
BoardGame<GAME> copy();
int currentPlayer();
boolean isGameOver();
int getTotalMoves();
BoardResult getOutcome(int playerIndex);
void makeMove(int moveIndex);
void addMoveObserver(BoardGameMoveObserver observer);
}
A:
Both are ok in a sense that they compile ok.
If you use <GAME extends BoardGame> than all implementations will need to use type parameter that extends BoardGame. This makes sense if any of the methods takes parameter or returns value that is GAME.
In your case that is getGame(). So in case of <GAME extends BoardGame> all users of of getGame() can count that return value is (at least) BoardGame. But in the case of , getGame() could return any type the implementing class defined..

Mandarin Chinese in the Philippines
Mandarin Chinese is spoken and taught academically to Chinese Filipinos in the Philippines. Both Standard Chinese and Taiwanese Mandarin are taught and spoken in the Philippines, with some schools and speakers using Simplified Chinese characters, some using Traditional Chinese characters, and some using a mixture of both.
Classification
Mandarin in the Philippines can be classified into two distinct Mandarin dialects: Standard Mandarin and Colloquial Mandarin. Standard Mandarin is either the standard languages of Mainland China and Taiwan, while Colloquial Mandarin in the Philippines tends to combine features from Mandarin () and features from Hokkien () of the local Philippine Hokkien dialect, which is the heritage language of many Chinese Filipinos.
Usage
Only a small minority of Chinese Filipinos claim Mandarin as their native first language, with Tagalog or English typically being the first language. The lack of environment for speaking the language and the difficulty of learning it created not just a lack of interest, but even great disgust by some towards it.
Efforts in the 21st century to promote Mandarin Chinese education in Chinese Filipino institutions and recent utilitarian trends, such as more Mandarin job opportunities, recent immigrants from China or Taiwan, summer education trips to China or Taiwan, encouragement of universities and schools by past presidents, and education exchange deals with China have spurred interest and potential for growth in the usage of Mandarin.
Code-switching
Sometimes Chinese Filipinos also code-switch Mandarin together with other languages, such as English, Tagalog (or other Philippine languages), and Hokkien, as a form of pidgin language, just like Hokaglish or Singlish.
Education
In terms of phonology, vocabulary and grammar, the Mandarin taught in the Philippines is often the Taiwanese variety ("Guóyǔ") of Standard Chinese because many Chinese Filipino schools use dictionaries and books from Taiwan. In recent years, some have also began using books and teaching materials from Mainland China, Singapore, and Malaysia. Filipino Mandarin newspapers use the Traditional Chinese characters in writing. Due to selection of founders and sponsors of Chinese schools, schools either teach using only Simplified Chinese characters, only Traditional Chinese characters, or a mixture of both. 'Many Chinese Filipino schools use pinyin or bopomofo (zhuyin fuhao) to teach the language.
Chinese Filipino schools often use the first language approach, which assumes that students of Chinese Filipino schools have had native experience of Mandarin.

Q:
Is there a way to configure the Google Cloud Function and Pub/Sub parallelism?
I have a Google Cloud Function configured as subscriber of a PubSub topic, my function should invoke another service that have some limitation, but the Function topic consumption is really fast and executes in parallel, what can I do to control the topic consumption frequency? I thought about quotas configuration but it seems too much generic, I would like to configure a specific function as subscriber. Thanks
A:
You have no control over that. Cloud Functions will always try to react to incoming events as fast as possible, within the limits of the system.

Q:
How to know which framework is used?
I have been made to involve recently in a new project and I am completely unaware of which framework is used.After a long time I came to know spring is used because I saw some imports like
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Configurable;
and I am sure spring is used.Now I am completely unaware of whether hibernate is used or jpa is used.When I asked my colleague then some are telling jpa is used and some are telling hibernate that means they are also confused.Can any body please throw some light regarding this.How would I know jpa or hibernate is used.
which packages should be imported specifically for jpa or hibernate.Any hint please
A:
Check out your project for pom.xml. This is configuration file for Maven, which handles dependencies (and how your project is build). With IDE or even with command line, you can display all used dependencies and frameworks.
A:
What is probably going on, is that the project is using Hibernate as an implemention of JPA.
To check and see is JPA is used, check the code and see whether or not you can find EntityManager or EntityManagerFactory
One way to see if Hibernate is being used, is to check the Spring configuration and see whether or not HibernateJpaVendorAdapter is used anywhere
In case you are have a persistence.xml file, HibernateJpaVendorAdapter shouldn't be present anywhere, and you can check if hibernate is mentioned anywhere in the file

Nigel Farage has said he is considering returning as Ukip leader after Paul Nuttall's resignation.
When asked whether he was contemplating taking on the position, the Brexiteer, who led the party until just after the EU referendum, told the BBC: "I'm thinking about it."
"It's not top of my bucket list. For me, getting the referendum, forcing the referendum and helping to win it, I thought I was done with it," he said.
"I'm going to watch very carefully, but I do think now we will see backsliding."
Mr Nuttall said he was standing down as leader within hours of Ukip's disastrous election performance, in which they won just two per cent of the vote.
He insisted he was “proud” of his party’s manifesto, which promised another crackdown on immigration, a bigger army and taking the axe to the “bloated” foreign aid budget.
But he said: “I am standing down today as the leader of Ukip with immediate effect.”
Mr Nuttall vowed that Ukip under his successor – to be in place by September – would continue to be a “straight talking” party that says “what everybody else is thinking”.
Mr Farage also told the broadcaster: "I suspect what we're gong to see is a Government that will struggle to get things through the commons, and I think we're probably headed towards a Norway-type situation two and a half years down the road. |
The Trump administration is planning to launch a major, "administration-wide," broadside against China, according to two sources briefed on the sensitive internal discussions. These sources, who weren't authorized to discuss the plans with the media, told me the effort is expected to launch in the next few weeks.
What we're hearing: The broadside against China — which is planned to be both rhetorical and substantive — will be "administration-wide," including the White House (led by senior officials on the National Security Council), Treasury, Commerce and Defense. "We're not just going to let Russia be the bogeyman," one White House official told me. "It's Russia and China."
The White House plans to unveil new information about China's hostile actions against America's public and private sectors, and to act on it.
Administration officials will call out China for its "malign activity" in cyberattacks, election interference and industrial warfare (e.g., intellectual property theft), an administration source told me.
The administration has marshaled tons of data to support its charges against China. "We are going to show how the Chinese have infiltrated the U.S. and what we are doing to counter it," the source said.
Behind the scenes: "The push is coming from the national security apparatus," the source added. "Cyber theft has been appearing more often in the PDBs [President's Daily Brief]."
The unknowns: Neither administration official explained why the administration is pursuing this now. China has been an aggressor on trade and cyber issues for years, and the Trump administration has started a trade war with the country. At the same time, Trump has maintained cheery rhetoric toward President Xi Jinping in hopes of cooperating on some issues. |

The following paragraphs are not an admission that anything discussed in them is prior art or part of the knowledge of persons skilled in the art.
Fuel cells provide a source of electrical power that can be used for a variety of different purposes. Fuel cells are commonly configured into stacks that generate useful voltages. Fuel cell stacks require a number of auxiliary components in order to function efficiently, e.g., conduits, valves, pumps, compressors and the like for delivering process gases; humidifiers for humidifying processed gases; control equipment. These additional components are commonly referred to as “balance of plant” or BOP.
To make a fuel cell stack readily useable for a variety of applications, fuel cell stacks are sometimes packaged with the associated balance of plants components to form a fuel cell power module. Such power modules can be integrated to the extent that they require no more than connections to necessary reactant supplies (e.g., hydrogen and air), and possibly a coolant (water, although sometimes air again is used as a coolant), and additionally electrical connections for the electricity generated by the fuel cell power module.
It has been proposed to use fuel cell power modules as backup power supplies. Such backup power supplies may be deployed at installations that require a high degree of integrity in their power supply and/or may be located in remote areas where a standard electricity power supply is not reliable. For example, remote transmitting towers for various functions often require backup power supplies.
In order to provide the necessary level of reliability, it is common to provide two or more power modules together. For example, sometimes three power modules are provided, with the intent that two would be sufficient to provide the necessary power and the third power module then acts as a further backup, in case one of the other two power modules fails. |
Q:
Is the libcurl example httpcustomheader.c buggy (showing bad practice) or am I missing something?
The libcurl examples contains an example for custom HTTP headers.
The example makes use of curl_slist_append like this:
struct curl_slist *chunk = NULL;
/* Remove a header curl would otherwise add by itself */
chunk = curl_slist_append(chunk, "Accept:");
/* Add a custom header */
chunk = curl_slist_append(chunk, "Another: yes");
/* Modify a header curl otherwise adds differently */
chunk = curl_slist_append(chunk, "Host: example.com");
/* Add a header with "blank" contents to the right of the colon. Note that
we're then using a semicolon in the string we pass to curl! */
chunk = curl_slist_append(chunk, "X-silly-header;");
According to the documentation of curl_slist_append a null pointer will be returned if something goes wrong:
RETURN VALUE
A null pointer is returned if anything went wrong, otherwise the new
list pointer is returned.
Question:
When for example the call
chunk = curl_slist_append(chunk, "Another: yes");
fails, won't the original list, that chunk previously pointed to, be lost? And as a consequence: won't this leak memory?
Or is there some magic that I am missing and that is not mentioned in the curl_slist_append documentation?
To make matters worse: won't the next call to curl_slist_append possibly create a new list (unlikely as we are probably out of memory already, but possible)?
A:
Your suspicions seem entirely correct. The source for curl_slist_append can be viewed here.

Posts Tagged ‘Catholic Church’
I’ve read, enjoyed and found enormously informative this author’s book on travelling in the Middle Ages, and couldn’t resist this one, on pleasure. Verdon was immensely informative on the idea of courtly love, which I’d first encountered at A level when studying Chaucer, but what we were given as school students was a basic outline and some key concepts. To have it all clearly exemplified with extracts from a wide range of literature from the time was fascinating, and only partly because I’d always regarded courtly love as such a crazy idea…
‘Pleasure only makes slaves of those who consider it an end in itself…’ that I found really thought-provoking. In those times, everything was overlaid by a strongly religious outlook – not just sexual activity – and yet it’s clear that there were lively debates and disagreements on the subject, with clerics and ascetics taking a much harder line than those who actually lived in and engaged with the real world. Verdon explains the astonishing religious scruples and hair-splitting about the different kinds of sexual activity, and the sinfulness of pleasure: from a twenty-first century perspective, it’s quite mind-boggling. And yet, there seemed to be a general agreement that desire was necessary in nature…
I found myself wondering why what seemed to have changed most radically in religious attitudes towards human sexuality over the centuries was its acceptance of pleasure, whereas the Catholic Church is still wedded to the idea that all sexual acts must be open to procreation, thus creating the problems we are all familiar with, concerning contraception, abortion, homosexual activity, before we even come on to considering clerical celibacy: why is enjoying sex now OK whereas the other baggage is still retained?
I found Verdon’s further exploration of the influence of religious attitudes to food, fasting and other forms of asceticism just as mad as attitudes to sex; within the total religious weltanschauung, they make sense perhaps, but at the cost of such an astonishing warping of human life and experience. There was basically an ‘official’ downer on any kind of pleasure, enjoyment or fulfilment, with the clergy wanting to dictate to everyone how they should live. However, as Verdon also makes clear, there was fairly widespread scepticism and ignoring of official dictates.
It was useful to be reminded that the entire mediaeval mindset was shaped by Christianity – or rather, interpretations of Christianity over the centuries – and focused ultimately on the duty to love God and have the eternal rather than the secular in view at all times.. And while this may make little sense to us in these radically different times, I am often unsure that our current materialistic, money-focused and ultimately hedonistic approach is any saner or healthier an approach to life, happiness or contentment.
After my visit to Cathar country in September, I allowed myself some in-depth reading about this mediaeval Church, exterminated in the fourteenth century by Rome and its secular allies. Anne Brenon‘s book was just what I needed by way of further history, and more importantly, explanation of Cathar beliefs, theology and religious practice.
Much has been uncovered about the Cathars over the last fifty years or so, including ritual books, and much has been unravelled from the detailed records kept by the Inquisition: the church was much more widespread, longer-lasting and more deeply rooted in the south of France, northern Spain and northern Italy than had previously been known. It was a properly organised and run church, not secretive, hidden or lurking.
It was a very different church from the official Catholic Church of the times: it rejected violence, allowed equality between men and women, was against the taking of oaths, believed that its members were the church, rather than any buildings or property. Cathars denied the humanity of Christ – he was purely divine – and they held a dualist view of creation: God was only good, and the sinful world we lived in was the creation and work of the devil; we aspired to and could return to God’s world after death. But this was not a belief in two Gods; it did solve the problem about the origins of evil in the world, which traditional Catholics have always had problems explaining. However, it did do away with the notion of free will, too. And if there was hell, it was only the place of the devil and his crew: in many ways the Cathar picture of God was more human and more merciful than the traditional one.
It’s a fascinating slice of the past, of what could have been; it’s an indictment of the Catholic Church and its temporal obsessions, maybe an indication of the problems all religions face when they become widespread in their influence and following. Certainly George Orwell would have been proud of the job the Church did in disappearing history and evidence for the Cathars and their beliefs: everything into the memory-hole, books and people burnt alike. |
The spectrum of spontaneous and iatrogenic esophageal injury: perforations, Mallory-Weiss tears, and hematomas.
Esophageal perforations, Mallory-Weiss tears, and esophageal hematoma involve traumatic injury to the esophagus. These can be iatrogenic, in particular due to esophageal instrumentation, but can also occur spontaneously. The remarkable increase in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy as well as esophageal surgery has made instrumentation the most common cause of esophageal perforation. In many instances, spontaneous perforations are associated with retching and vomiting, which causes a sudden increase in intraesophageal pressure. A high index of suspicion leading to rapid diagnosis and appropriate therapy are needed to optimize clinical outcomes. This article focuses on esophageal perforations, Mallory-Weiss tears, and esophageal hematomas, with emphasis on etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, management, and prevention. |

Giant coronary aneurysms in a young adult patient with Kawasaki disease.
Kawasaki disease is an acute, self-limited vasculitis of childhood and the principal cause of acquired heart disease in children in several parts of the world. Its major morbidity and mortality is related to the development of coronary aneurysms. The long-term impact of this disease in adults is not known, however, clinically silent coronary artery aneurysms may be recognized after a sudden cardiac event, even death. We report a case of Kawasaki disease in a young asymptomatic Puerto Rican man who presented to our Adult Cardiology Clinic with multiple giant coronary aneurysms. A brief review of the epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, therapeutic modalities, prognosis and complications of this condition is also included. |
Design and development of a new program for data processing of mass spectra acquired by means of a high-resolution double-focusing glow-discharge mass spectrometer.
An new program has been developed and implemented for data analysis of mass spectra obtained by use of the VG9000 glow-discharge mass spectrometer. The program, designed to run in a Windows 9X environment includes several tools for import and export of data, cluster generators, etc. An automated technique for the interpretation of mass spectra is also built into the program; this enables faster and operator-independent interpretation. When major interferences or not-well defined signals are involved, the automated technique might fail to find the correct result. Therefore, a manual, VG9000 software-like, bypass is at hand. A comparison of the different techniques and programs shows, in general, comparable results. An installable version of the software is available on the university FTP-server (ftp://PLASMA-FTP.uia.ac.be/ private/imsas/). |
I am a Catholic but my husband is not. He does not believe neither in God nor in heaven. He argues that if God does love everyone without any condition then he does not need to be a Catholic to enter Heaven. He believes that as long as he is a “good” guy, our “God” will let him enter into heaven.
【 Question from 】 Toronto, Canada
Fr. Francis :
This is typical of many people. What they do not realize is that there is an inherent contradiction in their logic. They don’t believe in either God or heaven, yet they justify that because they are a good person, God, which they don’t believe exists, will have to admit them to heaven, which they also deny. So, do they want to have a heaven to go to after death, or do they frankly have no idea where they will go after death?
The stark truth they may be avoiding to admit, rather, is that they have no idea where they are going after death, and they hope they do not simply drop into oblivion. Or, that’s exactly all they can believe.
But, and I believe it is a very likely but, if they are the former, that they really hope they will be going somewhere like heaven, then they have to come to terms that it cannot be up to them to define the terms of entry.
But isn’t that the problem: we don’t believe what we are told, but we want it, and really we want it in our own terms.
We expect being good will earn us heaven. But God does not want good people. Yes, you hear me. God does not want good people. He wants people who want to have a relationship with Him. In fact, that is the definition of heaven: it is where people and God enter into a very intimate love relationship.
The more we learn to love, the more it calls us out of ourselves. It calls us to do the impossible, it calls us to die to ourselves, to sacrifice ourselves. Yet it calls us to Jesus.
Of course, don’t repeat the above to your husband directly. Do, however, admire whatever goodness in your husband and encourage him to be even better, to be more loving, more giving, more of a blessing to others. Tell him love is the best way to be good. Meanwhile, pray very hard that love will open him up to Love, who is God, that he may experience God’s love.
And on your part, do everything to love God and your husband better, that he may see and experience Jesus’ love and gentleness and kindness and patience and generosity more and more. |
The development team behind the Yenom cryptocurrency wallet apparently doesn’t ever stop working. After introducing their successful wallet, they then introduced the Deep Link Payment Protocol (DLPP), a one-click method for paying with Bitcoin BCH on any website. Now, they’re at it again, this time launching a new proposition model for decentralized applications (Dapps).
The model, the Bitcoin Dapps Improvement Proposal (BDIP) standard, is designed to allow for easy classification of new Dapps on the Bitcoin BCH network. It also provides a mechanism that describes the function of the Dapp and any associated processes.
According to the BDIP GitHub repository, “The BDIP should provide a concise technical specification of the feature and a rationale for the feature. The BDIP author is responsible for building consensus within the community and documenting dissenting opinions.”
BDIP serves a much-needed purpose. It allows the community to track applications built on the Bitcoin BCH blockchain, as well as to provide feedback, find out if the developers are still active and check the status of any implementation or issue.
The repository explains, “For Bitcoin dapp implementers, BDIPs are a convenient way to track the progress of their implementation. Ideally, each implementation maintainer would list the BDIPs that they have implemented. This will give end users a convenient way to know the current status of a given implementation or library.”
By design, there would be three types of BDIPs – a standard track, an informational BDIP and one for the processes involved in the Bitcoin BCH application. Any proposal is required to meet all of the criteria and must describe in detail the application’s intentions. The developers suggest that BDIP authors “bet their own project” to ensure that it has utility and is original. They explain in the repository, “[This] helps to make sure the idea is applicable to the entire community and not just the author.”
The first BDIP has already been created. Gabriel Cardona, who created Bitbox, announced on Twitter that he had created Dapp ID, which is a “unique identifier for a single dapp protocol with the specification of the dapp.”
Yenom developers haven’t shown any signs of slowing down. Apart from DLPP and BDIP, they also won the first BCH Devcon recently held in San Francisco and have also introduced a Bitcoin Cash Kit, which contains a Bitcoin BCH library for iOS software development.
Note: Tokens on the Bitcoin Core (segwit) Chain are Referred to as BTC coins. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is today the only Bitcoin implementation that follows Satoshi Nakamoto’s original whitepaper for Peer to Peer Electronic Cash. Bitcoin BCH is the only major public blockchain that maintains the original vision for Bitcoin as fast, frictionless, electronic cash. |
Embodiments of the inventive subject matter generally relate to the field of computers, and, more particularly, to defect analysis and defect prevention.
Tracking down the root cause for a defect (or “bug”) in even simple software can be a challenging endeavor. As software increases in complexity, the difficulty in fixing defects can increase at a rate that might be characterized as exponential, or worse. A single defect may take weeks or months to be fixed, and then weeks or months before the fix is incorporated into a software release and made available to users. |

Q:
Flyway with Spring: Can I have SQL and Java based migrations?
Is it possible to have both SQL and Java based migrations? (ie: an .sql file and .java file)? If so, do they rest in the same directory?
A:
Do you mean with spring-boot? Please clarify what context Spring has in this question and I'll update my answer.
Aside from Spring, SQL and Java migrations are both available to you in combination. You can configure the location of your migration files, see the locations section of migrate but by default your SQL and Java migration files will be found in db/migration on the classpath. So in a typical project that would be
src/main
└── java
└── db
└── migration
├── V3__M3.java
└── V4__M4.java
└── resources
└── db
└── migration
├── V1__m1.sql
└── V2__m2.sql

Q:
React form upload auto submitting, depending on the order
can anyone please help me, with my upload form code, for some reason my onChange function on the other inputs prevent you from adding images first before filling in the other fields, if you do it automatically submits the form. This is not a working version, but it is the full code: https://codesandbox.io/s/reverent-hugle-rsqqx
I'm not referring to the splitURL message it shows, if you fill out each of the text fields and then add the images, it's fine.
It doesn't submit, which allows the user to click the submit button.
If you add images first and then fill out just one of the text fields the form submits automatically.
I do not want this, I am designing a page where I would like to have the option to add the images for upload before filling out the rest of the form.
The only thing I can pinpoint it down to is the onChange function, if i remove that from one of the inputs I can fill out the input after adding images.
A:
found the problem, the library "react-filepond" main element "FilePond" is specting an array of objects in the "files" property, so to fix the problem you just do the following:
// Add the spread operator in the items array too.
setPosterCollection([...posterCollection, ...items]);
This will fix the error and allow the user to fill the form in any order as he/she wish to.

“The lights are going out slowly on Broadway, in sports stadiums, in museums. That is feeding into the psychological aspect playing out hour by hour, and day by day. But the larger economic impact will be played out in weeks or months.” Professor of Economics Luis Portes shared his thoughts on the potential economic impact of the Coronavirus with The New York Times.
“Any time a school closes, children from food insecure families are placed further at risk because they must rely on their family’s limited resources for those two missed meals each day. In severe cases, children from food insecure families do not eat between the time they get home from school until they arrive at school the next day. Extended school closures can leave these children hungry for days.” Lauren Dinour discussed the potential impact of school closures on students who receive free meals with NJ.com. |
Identification of water pathogens by Raman microspectroscopy.
Legionella species can be found living in water mostly in a viable but nonculturable state or associated with protozoa and complex biofilm formations. Isolation and afterwards identification of these pathogens from environmental samples by using common identification procedures based on cultivation are extremely difficult and prolonged. The development of fast and sensitive method based on the cultivation free identification of bacteria is necessary. In this study Raman microspectroscopy combined with multiclass support vector machines have been used to discriminate between Legionella and other common aquatic bacteria, to distinguish among clinically relevant Legionella species and to classify unknown Raman spectra for a fast and reliable identification. Recorded Raman spectra of the twenty-two Legionella species as well as the Raman spectra of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were utilized to build the classification model. Afterwards, independent Raman spectra of eleven species were used to identify them on the basis of the classification model that was created. The present study shows that Raman microspectroscopy can be used as a rapid and reliable method to distinguish between Legionella species recognized as human pathogens and to identify samples which are unknown to the model based on multiclass support vector machines (MC-SVM). |
Controlled collapse chip connection (C4) or flip-chip technology has been successfully used for interconnecting high I/O (input/output) count and area array solder bumps on silicon chips to base ceramic chip carriers, for example alumina carriers. In C4 technology or flip chip packaging, one or more integrated circuit chips are mounted above a single or multiple layer ceramic (MLC) substrate or board to internal connecting fingers or pad (C4 pads), and the internal bond pads on the chip(s) are electrically or mechanically connected to corresponding external lands or pads on the other substrate by a plurality of electrical connections, such as solder bumps, referred to as a ball grid array (BGA).
In MLC packages, a ceramic substrate is the platform upon which chips, passive components, protective lids, and thermal enhancement hardware are attached. Wiring patterns within the substrate carrier define escape paths in single chip modules (SCMs) and multichip modules (MCMs), transforming the tight I/O pitch at the die level of the chips to a workable pitch at the board level. The wiring pattern also establishes the modules' power distribution network. Vertical metal vias provide interconnections between the various layers within the MLC. C4 pads can be directly soldered onto MLC vias, providing low inductance, and direct feed to power and ground planes.
Routing of signal lines through a ceramic substrate begins at a die/package interface where signals and power escape the pin field of a given die. The package includes internal routing layers which couple the external landing pads (or ball grid array) to internal landing pads coupled to the die. The internal routing typically contains separate layers for ground, power and signal lines. In many BGA designs, over one half of the internal bond pads are associated with power and ground connections. As linewidths of vias continue to decrease and chip speeds continue to increase, the inductance associated with power and ground loops due to the routing of power and ground signals from the package to the die becomes increasingly problematic. |
[Obstructive nephropathy].
Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are regarded as a single entity. The degree of obstruction may have an additional influence on the parenchymal malfunction. Congenital dilatation of the upper urinary tract associated with symptomatic urinary tract infection must be treated early with intensive antibiotic therapy. In some cases temporary urinary diversion is also required. Further diagnostic procedures are then postponed in such cases. In all other cases of dilatation of the upper urinary tract diagnosed prenatally or early in the postnatal period, diuresis renography is still the cornerstone of diagnosis, even though it has definite limitations in young infants and in babies with poor kidney function. Functional gadolinum MR-urography will become the method of choice in the near future, since it combines good functional and excellent morphological presentation. When an obstruction hampering function is definitely present surgical correction is indicated: open and endoscopic surgery yield similarly good results. Molecular markers in CAKUT may soon be used as prognostic indicators. Examination of the molecular alterations that occur in renal and urinary tract anomalies may also lead to medicamentous protection of renal function. |
The resistance of fibrinogen and soluble fibrin monomer in blood to degradation by a potent plasminogen activator derived from cadaver limbs.
The effect of a cadaver-derived vascular plasminogen activator (VA) on the degradation of fibrinogen, soluble fibrin monomer, and fibrin was studied and compared with the effect of equivalent fibrinolytic potencies of streptokinase (SK), urokinase (UK), and plasmin. The proteolytic activity of the three activators and plasmin was determined by a standard fibrin plate assay and was expressed in CTA units from a UK reference curve. Fibrinogen degradation was measured by clottable protein determinations and by an electrophoretic technique sensitive to small changes in the molecular weight of fibrinogen. When VA was incubated in plasma, no degradation of fibrinogen occurred, whereas rapid fibrinolysis took place after the plasma was clotted. By contrast, equivalent potencies of SK, UK, and plasmin caused extensive fibrinogenolysis. Since the plasmin added and that formed by the three activators had equivalent fibrinolytic activity, the failure of VA to induce fibrinogen degradation was attributed to antiactivators rather than antiplasmins. VA activity in plasma was consumed by clotting, whereas the antiactivator activity remained in the serum, suggesting dissociation of the VA-antiactivator complex on the fibrin clot. Fibrinogen and its soluble derivatives resisted degradation by VA in plasma because a solid phase appeared necessary for the complex to dissociate. The findings indicated that the degradation of fibrinogen or soluble fibrin in blood as a result of plasminogen activation by VA was unlikely to occur due to a large excess of antiactivator activity. Alternative pathways for their catabolism are discussed. |

One of my greatest fears is "It."
I can't touch "it," but I can feel "it."
It does not have a taste or smell,
But I can hear it in my spirit
[Chorus:]
It is deep inside of me,
It makes me fear my memory
One day I'll live peacefully,
Without the fear of "It"
It is something I can't see
It can never possess me
It always tries to take control
I can defeat it if I believe it
[Repeat Chorus]
It keeps running through my mind,
I have to fight it time and time
And time and time and time
And time again...
[Repeat Chorus]
The more I understand about it
The less my world revolves around it
Then I can just live out my life
Without the fear of "it." |
Q:
What are the differences between "Premium Beta" and "Standard Beta"?
The new Elite: Dangerous store launched yesterday, allowing the purchase of a variety of packages including;
Preorder Elite: Dangerous
Standard Beta
Premium Beta
What are the differences between "Premium Beta" and "Standard Beta"?
A:
The differences between "Standard" and "Premium" beta are a throwback to the original Kickstarter campaign, in that Frontier are going to be running two rounds of private beta before opening the game up to the public.
Premium beta will get you into the first round of beta testing, which is intended to be started in February at this time. Standard beta will get you into the second around of beta testing, which will start sometime after that.
Both packages will provide you with a digital release of the game once it is released. The Premium beta package also includes the Expansion Pass, which will give you access to all future downloadable content free of charge - like a season pass.

Well I'd very much like to support someone in this argument, what with it being of astronomical importance. But sadly, I have no idea what a conscienous is... probably because it's not actually a word. Funny that. So, I guess I'm on the side of flamebaitgod here. If you were to have typed something that made sense, or instead opted to remove the "NO YOU COULDN'T" part, I might have sided with you.
I am aware of how upset this must make you, but I just can't take your side. |
The field of the invention relates generally to railroad systems, and more specifically, to a closed-loop cab signaling monitoring system.
Some known railroad systems use a cab signaling system that communicates track status and information to a locomotive control system from a trackside communications station, wherein the engineer or driver receives information at a display unit onboard the locomotive. Less complex systems may display the trackside signal aspect, i.e. a green, a yellow or a red light, that indicates whether it is safe to proceed, while more sophisticated systems may display speed limits, a location of nearby trains, and/or dynamic information about the track ahead. In some known systems, a speed enforcement system may overlay the cab signaling data for use in warning the driver of a dangerous condition up-track of the locomotive. Moreover, some of such systems may automatically request a braking effort to facilitate stopping the locomotive if the driver ignores or cannot respond to the dangerous condition. Such systems range from simple coded track circuits, to transponders that communicate with the cab, to communication-based train control systems.
Some known train systems experience cab signal “flips” that were the result of a loss of cab signal being decoded at the Onboard System, which then causes a resulting change to a more restrictive aspect, when, for example, the cab signal transmitted into the tracks becomes out-of-specification with respect to signal amplitude, signal period, carrier frequency and/or duty cycle. More specifically, the loss of a decoded cab signal may be due to a malfunction in the trackside communications station, an inadequately maintained trackside communications station, disruption in the track circuit itself (such as a broken rail or changing environmental conditions), a malfunction in the on-board processor, or an inadequately maintained onboard processing system. Some known systems do not include a communication link from the train back to the trackside communications station, and the inaccurate signal remains uncorrected until a maintainer adjusts or corrects the signal at the trackside communications station. Additionally, onboard systems and/or track circuits may go uncorrected as engineers and/or drivers may falsely attribute the cause of the flip to the wayside station. |
Q:
What is the legal definition of at the entrance (parking sign law)
This is specifically in regards to parking sign law in Mesa, AZ.
The legal wording is
The owner or the agent of the owner of any private parking area shall be deemed to have given consent to unrestricted parking by the general public in such parking area unless such parking area is posted with signs as prescribed by this Section which are clearly visible and readable from any point within the parking area and at each entrance thereto.
I could not find a clarification of what "at the entrance" means. I can see two interpretations:
Physically situated at the entrance.
Clearly visible and readable from the entrance.
A:
Because the ordinance does not say "and from each entrance", it cannot be interpreted to mean that the signs must both be visible and readable anywhere in the area as well as being visible and readable from the entrance. The use of distinct prepositions in the conjuncts means that the notice requirement can be satisfied by different signs: it's not that a sign has to have both properties.
A:
The answer is in the text:
[...] unless such parking area is posted with signs [...] which are clearly visible and readable [...] and at each entrance thereto.
I read this as an inclusive and: it needs to be both readable and also at each entrance, but it can be a different sign from those visible at each spot of the place.
A:
Your question seems to be whether it's
posted with signs as prescribed by this Section which are (clearly visible and readable from any point within the parking area) and (at each entrance thereto).
or
parking area is posted with signs as prescribed by this Section which are clearly visible and readable from (any point within the parking area and at each entrance thereto).
The latter seems like the more reasonable interpretation. It requires the least parallelization, for one thing. Furthermore, it seems reasonable to read an ambiguity in the way the has the least effect. Since the latter interpretation would result in a smaller set of circumstances in which the owner shall be deemed to have given consent, this principle favors the latter interpretation.

President Trump tweeted Tuesday afternoon that he had been informed by U.S. intelligence that "the Chinese Government is moving troops to the Border with Hong Kong," adding, "Everyone should be calm and safe!"
Why it matters: There are fears of a crackdown from Beijing on the protestors, who clashed Tuesday with police while occupying Hong Kong's international airport. It had been publicly reported that Chinese armed police had massed in Shenzhen, a city near Hong Kong on the Chinese mainland. Trump has until now taken a hands-off approach to the escalating situation in Hong Kong, suggesting that President Xi Jinping should handle the "riots" as he sees fit.

The present invention is related to power system architectures and in particular to pneumatic and electric power system architectures employed in aircraft.
Power distribution systems in aircraft operate to transfer energy from one part of the aircraft to another. Power can be distributed in various forms, including hydraulically, pneumatically, and electrically. Traditionally, there is little interaction between these systems. For example, the hydraulic distribution system does not interact with the electrical distribution system or the pneumatic distribution system. For example, one type of aircraft may rely mostly on pneumatic systems that distribute bleed air (e.g., compressed air generated by the aircraft engines) to various systems throughout the aircraft. For example, pneumatic power provided by an auxiliary power unit (APU) can be used to start a main aircraft engine. Pneumatic power provided by the main engine can be used to spin turbine and/or compressors associated with environmental control systems on the aircraft. However, the extraction of bleed air from the engine reduces the overall efficiency of the engine, particularly during certain flight segments. Furthermore, the distribution of pneumatic power requires large amounts of piping which increases the cost and weight of the aircraft, thereby further decreasing efficiency.
An alternative to pneumatic power is electrical power, which is generated by converting the rotational, mechanical energy associated with the aircraft engines and/or APU to electrical energy that is distributed throughout the aircraft. Instead of supplying pneumatic power to spin turbines and/or compressors associated with the environmental control systems, electrical energy is distributed to motors which in turn spin the turbines and/or compressors associated with the environmental control systems. However, torque generated by the electrical generator also contributes to decreased efficiency of the aircraft engine, particularly during certain flight segments. |
Rewriting TeamUp Labs
For many years I’ve felt strongly that choosing to rewrite a piece of software is something you have to think really hard about. You have to have good reasons to do it, and it’s often the wrong choice. It’s a classic issue in software engineering where you think it won’t take long, and that you’ll quickly be back to productivity.
In reality it will take longer than you thought. You will hit problems you didn’t expect. It will either shut down progress on features, or feature work will continue while the rewriters chase the tail of the legacy version, trying to reach parity.
This is what we went through over the last four months at TeamUp Labs. Yes, we probably should have refactored the NodeJS codebase and got to know Node a little better, but we decided to switch to .NET Core principally because it’s what the developers are used to and what we would like to get better at.
The main issue we faced was quantity of work. The specific pain points were rewriting the authentication code and migrating users to the new database schema. We used .NET Core identity for this, which gets you moving quickly. When you want to customise it a little you start having to scaffold a ton of UI, fixing it up to work the way you need it to. We did consider using Auth0 or Amazon Cognito services to handle authentication (including UI). I think we are still open to those in the future, but they may have taken just as long to implement and migrate to and we didn’t consider them early enough. It’s really boring to write authentication code – it’s something every web app needs, so it should be just there.
Here are the features we are wishing we’d been working on over the last four months:
Mixpanel user analytics integration. This will give us a much better ability to understand our users, so we can deliver them a better product. It will probably be the first thing we work on next and shouldn’t take too long. It will answer questions like “of users who try the app, how many come back in one week, ten weeks etc.”
Organisations. This means the ability for users to belong to an organisation, so that they can share Example Maps – our highest voted for feature.
More external login providers (a.g. Twitter and Microsoft).
The ability to try our app without signing in or registering.
Story splitting.
Drag and drop.
Many more!
In retrospect I think that .NET Core will give us some benefits, but I am on the fence about whether it warranted the effort. If a user had been at the meeting when we were deciding this I’m pretty sure they would have preferred the new features.
We do have one new feature as a result of the rewrite, and that is the ability to register / signin using username / password. Before we just had Google Auth. You can try it out here: Teamup Labs Example Mapping Tool |

Star Light Star Bright
For my part I know nothing with any certainty but the sight of the stars makes me dream. ~ Vincent Van Gogh
What do you see when you look up at the night sky?
It’s no secret I write about characters that inhabit a universe where space travel is commonplace. Visiting strange worlds and looking up to see stars twinkling in a unfamiliar night sky is nothing out of the ordinary for them. But, it wasn’t until I was mulling over a scene for my newest book that I realized I was missing an opportunity with my main character. What did he feel as he stood beneath that glorious canopy on a world not his own. Did he long for his home world and the familiarity of stars he would never see again? Find a measure of comfort that the stars remained when all else was gone? Or was he exhilarated by the vast mystery, ready to leap into the void and escape the past?
It was a bit of a jolt when I realized I couldn’t recall the last time I actually stepped outdoors and looked up. How could I possibly tap into Wulf’s feelings if I couldn’t remember how I felt as a stargazer? I’ve lived in many places over the course of my life, some where the stars are narrow strips between buildings and in others where the sky is so big I can almost see the curve of the world. I’ve felt lost in the vastness, small and insignificant, but I have always yearned to explore. Who knew what adventures were waiting for me.
As I stood outside I was struck anew by the beauty of the night. I took a deep breath of the cool night air and let the worries of the day drift away. I could almost imagine Wulf standing beside me whispering in my ear and I began to understand what he saw and what he was feeling. I will never stand on a strange planet and look at its night sky, but that doesn’t mean I don’t understand what it means to be in a strange place and yearn for what was lost. Can I capture that part of him in words? I hope so.
When you get a chance take a moment and step outside. Look up at the night sky and dare to reach beyond yourself into that velvet darkness. You might be surprised what you discover. |
Q:
Exclude files from Play framework production build
I'd like to use sbt-web to process my client-side assets. I have some source files that are going to be fed into sbt-web, and sbt-web is going to output some distribution files.
Is there a way to tell Play framework to exclude these source files (e.g. unminified javascript, etc) from the deployment build when building for production?
A:
Sbt-filter is what you are looking for. You can follow description at the Github page but basically you have to enable the plugin in your build.sbt, add it to the pipeline and write filter configuration.
lazy val root = (project in file(".")).enablePlugins(SbtWeb)
pipelineStages := Seq(filter)
For example to exclude a unminified javascripts you use:
includeFilter in filter := "*.js"
excludeFilter in filter := "*.min.js"

This invention relates to the field of medicine, and more particularly to external urinary catheters for men.
Loss of continence may be embarrassing and is inconvenient. Prior inventors have proposed a variety of solutions to this problem. To collect urine from people who have diminished or no bladder control, a variety of absorbent pads and catheters have been developed. Pads are uncomfortable when wet, and may leak. Internal catheters also cause discomfort and may reduce the patient's mobility.
Some external urine collection devices have been designed for men. Typically, with such devices, the penis is placed in a urine receptacle leading to a remote disposal container. We refer to such devices as “external urinary catheters”.
This invention provides an improved solution to the incontinence problem for men. |
