Strained aromatic oligoamide macrocycles as new molecular clips.
Can one join both ends of a helix? A helical aromatic oligoamide was macrocyclized into a saddle-shaped bifunctional clip molecule that self-assembles into discrete circular dodecamers in the solid state and shows great potential for binding aromatic acid guests in solution. The cyclization step requires that the helix is only partly denatured in the reaction medium.

Deal includes an option for a French theatrical release via Bac Films, said ICO's Estelle Jaugin.
Now in post, and one of Spain's big end-of-year local bows, "Body" is sold by DeAPlaneta, which screens a nine-minute promo at this week's Spanish Film Screenings.
"Body" stars Belen Rueda, who toplined "Orphanage" and "Eyes." Jose Coronado ("No Rest For the Wicked") plays a detective searching for the cadaver of a femme fatale (Rueda, seen in flashback), which has gone missing from a morgue.
"The package -- the producers, their international films, the cast, the promo" -- clinched the pre-buy, Jaugin said.
DeAPlaneta plans to show a final cut of "Body" in the Toronto Film Festival. It will be completed by early October, said DeAPlaneta's Gorka Bilbao.
The three-year-old ICO, which is backed by an investment fund, works closely with Bac Films, ringing multiple distribution options. These include renewing French rights on lapsing Bac titles, buying library titles previously owned by other distributors, acquiring all-rights to films on which Bac can handle theatrical, or buying TV, DVD and VOD rights, sometimes, but not necessarily, to Bac movies, Jaugin said.

The Art Of Antiquating Furniture
When handling furniture that is old, antique, or even unique in some way it is important to recognize the effect that certain cleaners can have upon each piece. Home cleaning can go terribly awry when important personal pieces are mishandled. Many efficient and professional cleaning companies are known to take great care in the practice of preserving and even revitalizing elegant pieces of furniture that might otherwise be mishandled.
It takes very little to either restore an old antique piece of furniture or to revitalize an old piece that may or may not have been particularly valuable. One only needs the right tools to create a timeless piece of furniture that can liven up or add class to any room within the house. You need to be careful not to use too acidic cleaners or too abrasive substances which would hurt the texture of the piece of furniture. There are only too many ways to screw up a cleaning such as that, so you better be aware.
One way to make sure you are doing a right job is to ask the seller you took it from how he or she has been taking care of the piece of furniture. Make sure you do the same job and you will have healthy things. Or at least find out if the furniture is agreeable with all kinds of polish and find a good polish to provide protective layers.
Over the years furniture, along with many other parts of a home, can experience a great amount of wear and tear through regular or high traffic use. As people use their homes continually the damage that their furniture incurs happens gradually and without notice as oils left behind by simple or deliberate touches begin to wear down the varnish and create a layer of dirt and grime that can damage the furniture quite easily. In such cases it is usually wise to apply a soft cloth and some warm, soapy water. However with some pieces it is wise to consult the experts on how to go about restoring their former luster.
Domestic cleaning companies SE11 are typically well-schooled in the art of keeping fine and antique furniture in pristine condition, and are often able to be trusted implicitly in the preservation of important pieces. The art of antiquing after all is one that many people have come to find is quite enjoyable and in some instances surprisingly simple. They will also provide good and organic upholstery cleaning for the more delicate furniture you got.
Use any of the above to make sure you are handling your antique furniture in a proper manner. It’s not hard at all, it simply takes being informed and a bit of effort in actually doing it.

Q:
What is the best way for IPC in java?
I am using Netbeans for developing two separate application.
I need to communicate between two jar what is the best IPC Communication.
A:
There is never a best way to solve a problem. There is only the way which works best for you.
When you have two separate processes running on different hosts, you need to communicate via network sockets. You could use an existing protocol standard like SOAP. When you are sure that none of the two applications will ever be rewritten in a different programming language, you could also use ObjectOutputStream and ObjectInputStream connected to network sockets and exchange Java objects directly between the two programs. Or you could design your own protocol from scratch which is optimized for your application.
When the processes run on the same host, communicating via network is often still a good option. But there are others like communicating via writing and reading temporary files. You could also go the UNIX way, and have one application write to System.out and pipe its output to the other program which reads it with System.in.

[Ion transport in nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa in mucoviscidosis and chronic sinusitis].
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most commonly inherited disease in Caucasians and is caused by a mutation in the gene encoding a membrane transport protein. This cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is thought to be an apical Cl- channel activated by intracellular cAMP. Most recent findings suggest that CFTR is more than a pure Cl- channel and might be involved in the regulation of other transport systems. In the present study we show that CFTR as a Cl- channel plays only a minor role in primary cultured human nasal epithelium derived from non-CF and CF patients. These findings are especially of interest for non-CF human nasal epithelia in which CFTR is correctly inserted. In both tissues Cl- secretion is negligible as compared with Na+ absorption. We confirm and expand our previous observations that Na+ absorption in human nasal epithelium is the dominant ion transport process and that Cl- secretion is detectable in both CF and non-CF tissue. Moreover, we show that cAMP and ATP were not able to stimulate any silent Cl- channels in CF or non-CF human nasal epithelial cells. We further give evidence that in human nasal CF and non-CF epithelium Na+ absorption is mediated by epithelial Na+ channels (ENaC) that are either different from those of other epithelia or which exhibit altered regulation. These differences between Na+ channels of human nasal epithelium and "classical" epithelial Na+ channels include lack of activation by the intracellular second messenger cAMP and the steroid hormone aldosterone. We show further that human nasal Na+ channels are inhibited by Cl- channel blockers and exhibit a different pharmacology towards common Na+ channel blockers.

[Craniotomy and the temporal branch of the facial nerve].
The surgical anatomy of the temporal branch of the facial nerve was studied in the anatomical laboratory. The temporal branch divides into an anterior, middle (frontal), and a posterior ramus after it pierces the parotid fascia. The anterior ramus innervates orbicularis oculi and corrugator supercilii muscles; the middle branch is for the ipsilateral frontalis muscle. The posterior branch innervates the anterior and superior auricular and tragus muscles. Below the zygomatic arch, the temporal branch of the facial nerve is located in the subcutaneous tissue. Above the arch, it continues in the subgaleal space with the superficial temporal fascia deeply. The terminal twigs of the temporal branch penetrate the galea to reach their target muscles that are all located superficial to the galea. There is a significant variability in the course of the temporal branch of the facial nerve. Occasionally, the terminal twigs of the middle ramus may penetrate superficial layer of superficial temporal fascia and run in the intrafascial fat pad before entering the frontalis muscle. There are four available operative techniques in this anatomical location. The subgaleal dissection of a temporofrontal scalp flap is associated with a high incidence of postoperative palsy of the temporal branch of the facial nerve and cosmetically bothersome results. Reflecting the scalp and temporalis muscle together as a single layer is the safest procedure. Unfortunately, this technique can not be used for the transzygomatic approaches and the bulky temporalis muscle may compromise basal exposure in the pterional route. Third technique was described and propagated by Yasargil. He proposed a subgaleal dissection up to the anterior one-fourth of the temporalis muscle where the dissection has to be deepened between the two layers of the superficial temporal fascia (in the interfascial fat pad). This approach may also infrequently injure the temporal branch in case of anatomical variation. The last available operative technique raises the superficial temporal fascia together with the scalp.

Liver disease caused by infection with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a leading cause of death in HIV-infected persons, and is of particular importance among injection drug users (IDUs). Several cofactors worsen HCV progression, including HIV, age, and enhanced HCV replication. Since HIV and aging impact on each other and on HCV replication, demonstrating their independent contributions to liver disease progression has been challenging up till now. This proposal is conceived to investigate the role and mechanism(s) underlying liver disease progression in HCV-infected IDUs using innovative and complementary tools in the clinic and lab. In the first aim, the effect of HIV on aging in the liver will be studed using structured longitudinal measurements of liver stiffness in a cohort of HIV-infected and - uninfected persons, and especially on the effect of suppressive HAART on fibrosis progression rates. Nested mechanistic studies are planned to understand how HIV contributes to the aging liver. The second aim, focused on HCV replication, leverages advances in tissue imaging and specimen collection to study single hepatocytes from archived HCV-infected human biopsies. Absent a representative model of human HCV infection, molecular signatures of HCV- infected hepatocytes will be compared within the same person to those of uninfected hepatocytes, identifying potential therapeutic targets for HCV control. The third aim is centered on understanding HCV replication in the context of the transition of HCV infection from treatment-responsive during acute infection to treatment-resistant during chronic infection, extending the observation that the IL28B gene locus strongly predicts treatment responsiveness in chronic infection. Persons with favorable and unfavorable IL28B genotypes will be followed during acute infection and early chronic infection with structured measurements of immune activation and tolerance in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and liver tissue to target mechanisms underlying treatment resistance. The proposed studies will define key pathways of liver disease progression in HCV-infected IDUs. The overall long-term public health impact of a successful proposal is to a) attenuate the progression of liver disease in IDUs and b) to identify relevant molecular targets for HCV control. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Hepatitis C infection is rampant in injecting drug users, and is the leading cause of liver transplantation in the United States. Hepatitis C is made worse by HIV, advancing age, and in certain people with a genetic polymorphism that render them resistant to treatment. The aim of this proposal is to understand how the progression of Hepatitis C infection is worsened by age, HIV, and immune-related genes with the hopes of identifying pathways that can be reversed.

Mechanism and mapping of atrial arrhythmia in the modified Fontan circulation.
The Fontan circulation has been a major success in the management of patients with functionally single-ventricle cardiac lesions, although arrhythmia remains one of the major complications in the long term and historically has been difficult to treat. The electrophysiologic substrate within the right atrium is complex, with areas of scarring and/or anatomic structures acting as central barriers to conduction in reentrant circuits, which may be mechanistically and anatomically different from typical atrial flutter. Developments in three-dimensional mapping have improved our understanding of different arrhythmia mechanisms, which is fundamental to developing a better strategy for arrhythmia ablation using percutaneous techniques.

Q:
React-Redux TypeError: this.props.getAnimals is not a function
When using react, redux and thunk to fetch some data from an API, I am experiencing an error
TypeError: this.props.getAnimals is not a function\
which is triggered by the line
this.props.getAnimals();
Using Redux Tools, we can see that this.props.getAnimals function was successfully executed, showing the actions animals_are_loading, get_animals and animals_are_loading again, and the states are being updated correctly, as is what you will expect to see when this.props.getAnimals() has called the function getAnimals.
Any idea what is happening?
containers/Animals.js
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import { getAnimals } from '../../actions';
class Animals extends Component {
componentDidMount() {
this.props.getAnimals();
}
renderAnimalsList() {
return ...
}
renderLoading() {
return ...
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<h1>Animals</h1>
{ (this.props.animalsAreLoading) ? this.renderLoading() : this.renderAnimalsList() }
</div>
)
}
}
function mapStateToProps(state) {
return {
animals: state.animals.animals,
animalsAreLoading: state.animals.isLoading
}
}
function mapDispatchToProps(dispatch) {
return {
getAnimals
}
}
export default connect(mapStateToProps, getAnimals)(Animals)
actions/index.js
import axios from 'axios';
import { GET_ANIMALS_SUCCESS, ANIMALS_ARE_LOADING } from './types';
export function getAnimals() {
return function(dispatch) {
dispatch(animalsAreLoading(true)) // ACTION SEEN IN REDUX TOOLS
axios
.get(`${ROOT_URL}/animals`, {
headers: {authorization: localStorage.getItem('token')}
})
.then(response => {
console.log(response.data.animals) // THIS RETURNS DATA!
// ACTION SEEN IN REDUX TOOLS
dispatch(getAnimalsSuccess(response.data.animals))
// ACTION SEEN IN REDUX TOOLS
dispatch(animalsAreLoading(false))
return response
})
}
}
export function animalsAreLoading(bool) {
return {
type: ANIMALS_ARE_LOADING,
payload: bool
}
}
export function getAnimalsSuccess(animals) {
return {
type: GET_ANIMALS_SUCCESS,
payload: animals
}
}
A:
Try this: just replace these line of codes with yours
function mapDispatchToProps(dispatch) {
return ({
getAnimals: () => dispatch(getAnimals())
})
}
The error:
TypeError: this.props.getAnimals is not a function
That's pretty clear! Because after merging the return object of the mapDispatchToProps() function to the props object of the React component. The getAnimals property is actually not a function.
function mapDispatchToProps(dispatch) {
return {
getAnimals // this property is properly not a function
}
}
What I did to fix the error is setting the value to the getAnimals property:
getAnimals: () => dispatch(getAnimals())
make its value become a function which dispatches an action creator.

This would've gotten five stars from me if the crossover made sense, but even if I did give it five it would still probably be biased. I love to play Space Ace and watch Frozen from time to time, both being close to my heart, but seeing both of them combined into one doesn't make much sense to me. If you keep making more of these, which I'd be fine with, Borf would probably be Hans or the Duke, but still, why Space Ace. I know it's like one of the best arcade games of all time, but why? Wouldn't it make more sense if it was Wreck-It-Ralph themed?

Secondary product formation by cultures of Beta vulgaris and Nicotiana rustica transformed with Agrobacterium rhizogenes.
'Hairy root' cultures of Beta vulgaris and Nicotiana rustica were established after roots were induced on plants following infection with Agrobacterium rhizogenes. The transformed cultures of B. vulgaris and N. rustica synthesised their characteristic secondary products, the betalain pigments and nicotine alkaloids respectively, at levels comparable with those of in vivo roots from the same variety. Betalains were entirely retained inside the root tissue. In contrast, a proportion of the nicotine alkaloids was secreted into the medium. The potential of this type of 'in vitro' plant tissue culture for the production of valuable plant secondary products is identified and confirmed.

Fractionation of plant aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases on tRNA-Sepharose columns.
It has been shown that tRNA-Sepharose, a chromatographic adsorbent containing unfractionated tRNA bound to a Sepharose matrix, is a useful, group-specific adsorbent for fractionation of the plant aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. Conditions are described in which Val-, Trp-, Phe-, Leu- and Ile-tRNA synthetases from yellow lupin seeds can be separated from each other on the tRNA-Sepharose columns. Factors affecting affinity chromatography on the t-RNA-Sepharose columns are discussed. The affinity chromatography procedure for the purification of lupin Ser-tRNA synthetase to homogenity is described.

Structure from motion (SfM) is a range imaging technique for estimating three-dimensional (3D) structures from two-dimensional (2D) image sequences from a single camera. Because it can recover 3D information from a single, inexpensive camera, it can be a cost-effective solution as compared to stereo imaging systems or range sensors like lidar or automotive radar. SfM can also increase the robustness of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) while working in tandem with other sensors, such as radar, to provide automatic emergency braking (AEB).
However, when a camera used as part of a structure-from-motion system is stationary, the captured 2D image sequences can appear the same, and thus may fail to provide information regarding 3D structure. Under such conditions, SfM fails to recover 3D range information, generally described by of a set of points in 3D space, from the 2D image sequences. Consequently, in automotive scenario having an outward-looking camera placed inside the vehicle, SfM may not be useful when the vehicle is not moving.
Prior approaches for obtaining SfM in stationary scenarios carry forward the point cloud generated when the camera was moving. Such approaches sometimes account for objects moving into and out of a stationary-camera scene by applying background subtraction or other segmentation techniques to preserve the 3D points pertaining to the background. Although such techniques may be able to handle cases involving the removal of 3D points where a new object has come in the scene, they may not be able to handle cases requiring the addition of 3D points in regions of the scene where objects have moved out of the scene.

A self-regulatory approach to understanding boredom proneness.
We investigated the relationship between self-regulation and two types of boredom proneness (perceived lack of internal stimulation, perceived lack of external stimulation) using a variety of measures of self-regulation. These included a general measure of self-control, measures of both regulatory focus (i.e., promotion or a sensitivity to gains/non-gains vs. prevention or a sensitivity to losses/non-losses) and regulatory mode (i.e., assessment or the tendency to compare means and goals vs. locomotion or the tendency to initiate and maintain commitment to action), and measures of cognitive flexibility (i.e., a perceived sense of control and the tendency to seek alternative solutions). Results identified a unique set of factors related to each boredom proneness component. Trait self-control and prevention focus were associated with lower boredom propensity due to a lack of external stimulation. Locomotion and the tendency to seek alternatives were associated with lower boredom propensity due to a lack of internal stimulation. These findings suggest that effective goal pursuit is associated with reduced likelihood of experiencing boredom.

Abstract
The synaptonemal complex (SC) is a proteinaceous, meiosis-specific structure that is highly conserved in evolution. During meiosis, the SC mediates synapsis of homologous chromosomes. It is essential for proper recombination and segregation of homologous chromosomes, and therefore for genome haploidization. Mutations in human SC genes can cause infertility. In order to gain a better understanding of the process of SC assembly in a model system that would be relevant for humans, we are investigating meiosis in mice. Here, we report on a newly identified component of the murine SC, which we named SYCE3. SYCE3 is strongly conserved among mammals and localizes to the central element (CE) of the SC. By generating a Syce3 knockout mouse, we found that SYCE3 is required for fertility in both sexes. Loss of SYCE3 blocks synapsis initiation and results in meiotic arrest. In the absence of SYCE3, initiation of meiotic recombination appears to be normal, but its progression is severely impaired resulting in complete absence of MLH1 foci, which are presumed markers of crossovers in wild-type meiocytes. In the process of SC assembly, SYCE3 is required downstream of transverse filament protein SYCP1, but upstream of the other previously described CE-specific proteins. We conclude that SYCE3 enables chromosome loading of the other CE-specific proteins, which in turn would promote synapsis between homologous chromosomes.

Q:
Mongodb- embedded vs Indexes
My question is pretty simple. I am building my first application with mongodb. Up until now, i have always used sql. I have read a lot of information about embedding documents versus linked documents.
My question to the mongodb veterans is: Is there a huge difference in speed/performance if I used indexed links/queries apposed to embedded docs? If there is a huge difference can you please explain why? Thank you.
Again, i am new to mongodb and just don't want to get off on the wrong foot. thank you.
A:
Yes, there is an enormous difference between references and embedded docs.
An embedded document is stored in the document in the same disk location as the rest of the doc's fields, so there's no additional network round-trips or disk seeks to retrieve the embedded document when you query the document as a whole.
DBRefs, on the other hand, are simply the _id of a document in another collection. It will take an additional roundtrip and additional disk seeks to get the "linked" document. See the spec for DBRefs here:
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Database+References#DatabaseReferences-DBRef
You should try to optimize your most common query by including in a single document all the info needed to satisfy that query.

‘Energy’ has been the buzz word for quite some time now, right? One can, on a daily basis hear people speaking about feeling low/high on energy and their need for boost in energy levels and so on. Ask a mother and she will share her own biography on ‘Energy’ .In these fast paced times, we look for quick fixes to all these needs and often reach out to the unhealthy options easily available on the shelves. Some of them may provide us with an instant boost of energy but result in a sluggish us a few hours thenceforth. To add to our misery, we keep reading articles on how we need to stay off anything that’s packed and feel guilty looking at all those stacked packets in our houses. I do. But let’s face it, however true may that be, it is impossible to entirely eliminate ready to eat foods to serve as snacks. We need them. We all do. If only people in the food industry vowed to do their best to produce and make available the healthiest eating options to us. Ready to eat packaged food should not be a problem if it’s ingredient list is good along with harmless/no preservatives.

Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre spent a few minutes on the phone today with Boston Mayor Marty Walsh to place a bet on the NHL playoff series between the Habs and the Bruins.
Coderre — in his Habs jersey — told Walsh that if Montreal wins, Walsh will have to wear a Habs jersey and fly a flag of the Montreal Canadiens at Boston City Hall for a week.
Coderre - and Montreal - will sport the Bruins' colours if that team wins.
“I like it. I’ll accept the bet,” Walsh said from Boston.
The losing mayor will also have to visit the winning city.

James Fearon is on every international relations syllabus. He is a professor at Stanford and widely known for his research into conflict and war. He uses game theory to explain the outbreak of international conflict, and along with his colleague David Laitin he’s undertaken groundbreaking research into the structural factors that make the outbreak of civil war more likely.
Fearon discusses his research and career path, which started in Kenya in the early 1980s and he eventually led to a PHD program at Berkeley where he studied under one of the great IR theorists of all time, Kenneth Waltz.This conversation is pretty laden with international relations theory, but I did my best to keep it accessible to non-experts as well. Even if you have just a passing interest in IR you will still gain a lot from this conversation. We start off with a conversation about Iraq and Syria, and end with a topic of particular interest to UN Dispatch readers: the problem of data quality around women and girls in the developing world.
IR nerds will love this episode. As will anyone who craves a deeper understanding of the structural forces that drive peace and conflict. Subscribe on iTunes, Stitcher or get the app to listen later.

The ALio Proto Board recently hit its Crowd Supply target, and with a pad layout that can accommodate chips (ICs) it should be useful board to get complex builds running quickly. There are variants compatible with Arduino and USB ports.
ALio Lead Engineer (and AERD CEO) Arief Adha tells us, “Currently we are on production for first batch [of ALio boards, but] my next plans are to publish the files [for the boards].
ALio Proto Board for Raspberry Pi
As Arief explains, “Since the board itself is fully open-source, we hope we can make rapid prototyping accessible for everyone who wants to prototype with SMD or PTH.”
Arief even says, “All profit that we’ll get [from ALio], we will allocate to develop new open-source stuff.”
The AERD team are still focused on producing the ALio boards, however, with Arief confirming that “ALio is a good candidate to include in the Digi-Key catalogue.” Keep an eye on digikey.co.uk if ALio looks useful for your next build.

Cellular immunity to intracellular bacteria.
Great progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms bacteria use to invade, survive and move within eukaryotic cells. It is clear that bacteria have found ways to manipulate host cell signal transduction pathways and the cytoskeleton to their advantage. To defend against prokaryotic invaders, the immune system has evolved mechanisms for the specific recognition of bacterial antigens.

The objectives of the work are to establish the role of ATP in synaptic neurotransmission and synaptic efficiency in the CNS. These studies will be conducted on hippocampal and striatal slices. We recently found a calcium-dependent release of ATP from presynaptic terminals following intense stimulation of Schaffer collaterals (Sch.coll.) in vitro. High frequency stimulation which evokes ATP release simultaneously induced permanent changes in the synaptic efficiency. This phenomenon, called long-term potentiation (LTP), is generally accepted as a good model for testing the properties of memory. Exogenous ATP applied to the hippocampal slices at the concentration observed in the release experiments(nM range) permanently enhanced synaptic efficiency. My hypothesis is that ATP release during intense stimulation triggers changes involved in LTP and may be related to memory formation. The present study will concentrate on two problems : A/further characterization of ATP release mechanism, and B/ the mechanism, through which ATP can potentiate synaptic response. I will determine if the synapses which use different transmitters and have different ability to show LTP (striatal neurons versus hippocampal neurons), release ATP in a similar way. In order to better characterize the metabolism of release ATP, inhibitors and antibody towards ecto-Ca2+- ATPase (the main enzyme responsible for the ATP breakdown in the extracellular space) will be used. In addition, biochemical studies will be conducted to determine if biochemical events observed after electrically evoked LTP evoked potentiation. These studies will be correlated with electrophysiological recordings. The calcium accumulation, release and uptake of endogenous glutamate will be evaluated in the slices incubated with different ATP concentrations. Kinase C regulated by products of phosphoinositol hydrolysis is according to current concepts, a key enzyme engaged in LTP. A suggestion that released ATP can induce LTP by modifying the kinase C activity will be tested. The effect of ATP on synaptic potentials will help find the role of ATP in molecular mechanism of synaptic plasticity and memory.

As a fan of Lip who would have loved to see in Smash Bros as a playable character, I'm thankful to see you represent the Mii of her as, well, her! It's also pleasing to see amongst the smash characters here; a glimpse into a world where she was playable... and where alternative swimsuit outfits were available for the characters.Now naturally Lip's inclusion is my favourite part of this drawing and you've done a great job of drawing her. Her hair is nicely shaded, the little blush lines on her face are cute and her swimsuit attire is fittingly adorable. By extension, I like seeing her doing well in this battle; a health sapping flower atop each of the characters heads.Villager's design being based off the Animal Crossing movie is a nice touch and Lucina position conveys some nice dynamic movement. Inkling is another highlight of this drawing though as her swimsuit looks great, with the white squid kind of resembling a skull that seems to go hand-in-hand with her broad and mischievous grin. The splashing waves on at the bottom are also a neat touch and the plain background does well to evoke a swimming pool look whilst being unobstructive. Overall, a fantastic drawing!P.S. - By the way, I'm assuming your Current Request/Commissions isn't quite up to date but is that true? I've wanted to request and/or commission drawings from you for a couple years but have held off on it due to how it always looked like you were busy with a lot of drawings to work on.

Fresh air fun for your rabbit
When spring arrives with its sunny warm weather, it's only natural to want to spend more time outdoors. This is true for you, and it is especially true for pets. Even though experts recommend that rabbits be kept primarily indoors where they are safe, here's how you can make an outdoor roaming range for your bunny to get some fresh air and exercise
Fresh-air fun for your rabbit
When spring arrives with its sunny warm weather, it's only natural to want to spend more time outdoors. This is true for you, and it is especially true for pets. Even though experts recommend that rabbits be kept primarily indoors where they are safe, here's how you can make an outdoor roaming range for your bunny to get some fresh air and exercise
Rabbits require supervision
The family pup may be just fine outside in the yard for hours, but your bunny needs someone to look after her. Lori Morton-Feazell, Director of Animal Care, Education and Compliance at Petco, says, "Pet rabbits should never be kept outside or left unattended because there are several dangers such as temperature, other animals, or even people." That doesn't mean you can't let your bunny roam, it just means that you need to ensure her safety.
Safety from predators
Rabbits are gentle creatures that fall in the prey category. Dogs, cats, and wild animals can kill your bunny, making safety the primary consideration in an outdoor roaming range. An enclosed pen can keep rabbits from being easy prey, but they still need your attention to protect them from aggressive animals. Further, make sure your yard keeps predators at a distance since rabbits can literally have a heart attack from the stress of a predator being too close. In addition, Morton-Feazell says, "Ensure that the area is free of pesticides and other hazards that could hurt your rabbit."
Protection against the elements
Assess your backyard for an area that will protect your rabbit from the weather. Make sure the pen is located where the rabbit always has access to shade. This is especially important in hot weather since rabbits don't sweat and need cool water, ventilation, and shade in order to cool down. In the winter, make sure you place extra bedding so your rabbit can stay warm. Rabbits also burn more calories in cold weather, so place extra food in the pen, too.
Make the roaming range
Since the point of the roaming range is for your bunny to get some exercise, make it large enough that she can move freely.
If you plan to be with your bunny while she is outside, you can get by with a wire pen, but understand that this means constant supervision. Not only does a basic wire pen offer little protection, rabbits can easily dig underneath and escape. Build a pen that has a wire or solid bottom, and cover it with straw to make it comfortable.
Bunny care
Your rabbit needs ready access to water, food, and toys. Consider a water bottle over a water bowl, which can easily get tipped over. Give your bunny fresh food every day and throw out old food. And don't forget the toys. "Rabbits love to play with toys, so offer them a variety of things to choose from," says Morton-Feazell. She recommends products like Peter's Hay Tumbler for Rabbits to keep her occupied.

I am pleased to congratulate Mr. Trump
I Am Pleased To Congratulate On Behalf Of The People Of Irelandafter Enda Kenny
by Kevin Higgins
Donald J. Duck on his election as forty fifth, and possibly final,President of that great entity traditionally known as the UnitedStates which, admittedly,by the time he’s finished with it,will likely be called something else.
In the heat of battle President-electDuck has said things which have left him with bridges to build with certain people, such as Mexicantranssexuals, and women who don’t want him,or anyone politically associated with him even thinkingabout grabbing theirvaginas, or the vaginas of their friends, mothers-in-law, or as yet unborn children.
We think today in particular of Secretary of State Clinton,though only very briefly,for eaten parsnips are quickly digested, and we must move on. Democracy (and, for that matter,dictatorship) have their own outcomes.This being the case, if President-electDuck wants to build a crazy golf coursein every front garden on this island,I will work closely with complianturban district councils, sympatheticjournalists, and members of the judiciaryto have the necessary planningfast-tracked.
And rest assured, every opportunity that presents itself, either I or one of my Ministers will be thereto shake his hand,or any other part of his anatomyPresident-elect, Donald J.Duck, wants shaken.

GABA-based evaluation of neurologic conditions: MR spectroscopy.
GABA serves as a major neurotransmitter of the brain and functions mainly to inhibit neural excitatory activity. Disruption of the GABAergic processes appears to occur in various neurologic and psychiatric conditions, including epilepsy, mood disorders, motor disorders such as focal dystonia and stiff-person syndrome, sleep disorders, neuroplasticity, and drug and alcohol dependence. These concentration differences may be ascertained by using MR spectroscopy to provide information on the concentration of different metabolites. This review briefly discusses advances in MR spectroscopy methods and explores the application of this technique to detect changes in GABA due to disease processes and medication-induced effects.

Jones said she can't believe her own students would do something like this to her, stealing her phone and posting what school officials say were nude pictures online.
"I feel like I was victim, like I had been violated," said Jones.
According to a new Georgia law, children who are involved in this type of cyber bullying could face serious charges.
"What it does is, it basically criminalizes people who post nudity or sexually explicit content without someone's consent on the internet," said Attorney Jamie Casino.
Jones said these were Mean Girls almost straight out of the movie. Remember the burn book where girls would post hateful things about their peers and teachers?

Q:
How to use an android app's source code (in Java) to make a cross-platform program with xamarin
I have created an android app that I would like to port to iOS and the windows platform. I know that I can create this kind of a program using C# with Xamarin because I have experimented with that sort of thing before; however, I would prefer not to have to convert all the code to C# as that would be time-consuming and ultimately would just not be a good use of my time. From descriptions I have read in the Xamarin documentation, it seems to be doable, just I am not sure how. To clarify, I would like the Java code (the Android app source code) to be used by Xamarin to create identical apps, but on iOS and the universal windows platform. Thanks in advance.
Example of what I mean:
Generate an app that should do the exact same thing on all platforms from this java code:
AlertDialog.Builder uselessAlert=new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
uselessAlert.setMessage("Pointless Button v");
uselessAlert.setPositiveButton("Ok",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {}});
uselessAlert.create().show();
Of course, that is a very useless program that can easily be converted to C#, but I am dealing with a fairly complex one.
A:
Basically, you can't. Xamarin is a toolset that provides a C# and F# compiler for iOS and Android, as well as wrappers around the native iOS and Android SDKs. You can call into Java code by binding up a library, so you could call your existing Android Java library, but ONLY from an Android app, not from an iOS app as the APIs needed to run the Java code are specific to Android. In your code snippet above you reference AlertDialog. This is an Android API, and you can call this in C# from a Xamarin Android app, but there is no way to call this from an iOS or UWP app - the API simply doesn't exist. You would need to re-write this code for each platform.
The way Xamarin is cross-platform is because you can write your business logic - so everything that doesn't need to interact with the OS directly (i.e. not UI code) once, then reference this from an iOS, Android and UWP app.
What you would need to do first is to restructure your core business logic and re-write it in C# or F#. Then you would need to think about the UI and anything that interacts with the OS.
For your UI you then have two choices - write it using Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Android and UWP (so use the native SDKs to build your apps), or use Xamarin.Forms which gives you an abstraction across the native APIs allowing you to write your UI once (the compromise being you get a lowest common denominator approach, and if you want to do fancy stuff you need to interact with the native APIs directly).
TL;DR - you can't just use Xamarin to magically port your Android app, you would need to re-write it.

Intercontinental Bank enters Ghana market
A subsidiary of Intercontinental Bank Nigeria Plc would, early next month, commence operations in Ghana as part of the bank’s efforts to actualise its post-consolidation agenda.
A subsidiary of Intercontinental Bank Nigeria Plc would, early next month, commence operations in Ghana as part of the bank’s efforts to actualise its post-consolidation agenda.
The subsidiary, known as Intercontinental Bank Limited, Ghana, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Intercontinental Bank Nigeria Plc. It would have begun operations last December but for the necessary legal documentations required for its take off.
By this effort, Intercontinental Bank has joined the rank of Nigerian banks, such as Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) Nigeria Plc, Zenith Bank Nigeria Plc and First Bank Nigeria Plc, which have subsidiaries in Ghana and other parts of the West African coast.
Although the bank is still expecting approvals from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Bank of Ghana (BoG), a well-placed source said the approvals are likely to be ready before the end of this month. Already, an executive director of Intercontinental Bank Plc has been appointed the managing director and chief executive of the Ghana subsidiary, which is located in Accra, the country’s capital.
Vice-chairman and chief executive officer of the bank, Dr. Erastus Akingbola, had said that in the post-consolidation era, Intercontinental Bank would not be satisfied with being a local bank, adding that the bank would be a key player in the global economy in this post-consolidation era.
Intercontinatental Bank had concluded merger with three other banks, namely Equity Bank of Nigeria, Gateway Bank Plc and Global Bank Plc. The four banks now operate under the name Intercontinental Banks Plc with a shareholders’ funds that is in excess of N51 billion.
“With the merger, Intercontinental is now the fourth biggest bank in Nigeria in terms of balance sheet profitability and deposit base. It is at present, the most capitalised bank in Nigeria and one of the largest banks in Africa. The merger would strategically position the bank for long-term financial performance. The enlarged bank is now a bank that is playing a big role in the global arena and handling big-ticket transactions,” Akingbala said earlier.

This invention relates to a device for use in facilitating or assisting a user in enhancing skeleto-muscular stability control via exercise. This invention also relates to an associated exercise method utilizing the device.
Supine exercises on an unstable base challenge core stability. These exercises train torso, abdominal and hip muscles and increase stability of the pelvis and thus of the torso and spinal column.

The invention relates to a submarine.
Submarines having a drive which is independent of external air can operate in Arctic waters over a longer period of time below a closed ice sheet. However, with submerged travel below a closed ice sheet, those emergency situations which render it necessary for the crew to leave the submarine have been found to be fatal. In such a situation, the ice sheet or ice layer prevents these persons from getting to above the ice sheet.

Q:
python if condition "and" keyword issue
I simply trying calling this code
uname=""
passwd="jhj"
if uname =="":print "uname"
if passwd=="":print "passwd"
if not uname and passwd:
print "either"
and the output is:
uname
either
shouldn't It be "uname"?how can I fix this?
A:
Simple fix would be
if not uname and not passwd:
since it evaluates as
if (not uname) and (not passwd):
or
if not (uname or passwd):
but this would not work as awaited if neither uname nor password are provided (it would print all three).
You could change the logic to this construct where only one print is executed:
uname = ""
passwd = "jhj"
if not (uname or passwd):
print "either"
elif not uname:
print "uname"
elif not passwd:
print "passwd"
A:
What you are doing here is this:
if (not uname) and passwd:
If you want to check if they are both false, you need to do:
if not uname and not passwd:
Note that:
if not (uname and passwd):
Is not the same thing, as if one item is True, the whole thing will evaluate false. If you want to do it with one not, the correct logic is:
if not (uname or passwd):

“The legend of the Wandering Jew.” The Jew flees the cross and spends, this is no legend, all of time wandering, wondering, not daring to consider that he might have been wrong about the man called Yeshua.
Motherless on Purim: The wine in Gematria
In Kabbalah, therefore in the Zohar, therefore in Chabad Judaism, therefore in “de facto Judaism” (Rabbi Shmueley Boteach), the permutations of the twenty-two Hebrew letters “suffice to cover every object and every concept” (Preface to the Zohar). One of the pivotal tools of the Zohar is Gematria. Gematria assigns numerical values to a word or phrase, in the belief that those words or phrases with the same numerical values are related to one another.
The Talmud states that “on Purim we are obligated to drink wine to the point where we do not know the difference between Boruch Mordechai (‘Blessed be Mordechai!’) and Arur Haman (‘Cursed be Haman!’).” Our Rabbis point out that according to the rules of gematria, the letters that constitute the two phrases have the same numerical value; our Sages’ injunction means that we should drink to the point that we are unable to realize this relationship. But once a person is intoxicated, he is incapable of even the simplest numerical computation; why, then, do the Sages tie the amount of wine one is obligated to drink on Purim to this particular gematria?
This question can be answered by realizing that a numerical correspondence between two words in gematria is not coincidental, but reveals an intrinsic bond between them.
The Torah states that G d created the world through speech. The Alter Rebbe explains that the letters that spell out the Hebrew name of an object comprise the conduit which conveys its G dly life-force, bringing it into being and maintaining its existence. It follows that if there is a letter-relationship between the names of two objects, there is also an underlying spiritual relationship between them. Hence, though the expressions “Blessed be Mordechai” and “Cursed be Haman” appear to be diametrically opposed, their shared numerical value reveals a basic similarity between them. The same Divine intention motivates both of these expressions.
So, the best way to enjoy and (not?) understand anything about Purim is when you’re motherless.

Q:
How can i build a content of text lines from some controls and write it to a text file?
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string accountsSettingsFile = Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.LocalUserAppDataPath)
+ "\\accounts" + "\\accounts.txt";
if (!File.Exists(accountsSettingsFile))
File.Create(accountsSettingsFile);
System.IO.File.WriteAllText(accountsSettingsFile,);
}
I want to build a string right before writing the content to the text file in the button click event. Maybe StringBuilder and to format it to contain all the data from some controls.
I have a textBox1, textBox2, textBox3 a checkBox.
I want to get all this controls data and write it in lines to the text file.
For example if in textBox1 I have "hello" and in textBox2 "world" and in textBox3 "hi" and the checkBox is false, then the text file content should be something like:
hello
world
hi
false
A:
I would go with something like this, especially if your list of controls might get longer later on:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form1.WriteToFile(textBox1, textBox2, textBox3, checkBox);
}
private static void WriteToFile(params Control[] controls)
{
string accountsSettingsFile = Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.LocalUserAppDataPath)
+ "\\accounts" + "\\accounts.txt";
List<string> lines = new List<string>(controls.Length);
foreach (var control in controls)
{
string value = Form1.GetValueFromControl(control);
//this will skip null entries, not sure you really
//want to do that, otherwise when you read this file back in
//you will have no idea which values represent which fields
if (value != null)
lines.Add(value);
}
//This will overwrite the file.
//If you want to append use File.AppendAllLines
File.WriteAllLines(accountsSettingsFile, lines);
}
private static string GetValueFromControl(Control control)
{
if (control is TextBox)
{
return ((TextBox)control).Text;
}
if (control is CheckBox)
{
return ((CheckBox)control).Checked.ToString();
}
return null;
}
Though, since you are using this for settings, writing raw values to a text file is a very brittle approach. Might I recommend using serialization? Though this requires that you reference Newtonsoft.Json (via nuget) in your project:
private void Button_Write_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
AccountSettings settings = new AccountSettings();
settings.Setting1 = this.textBox1.Text;
settings.Setting2 = this.textBox2.Text;
settings.Setting3 = this.textBox3.Text;
settings.CheckboxValue = this.checkBox.Checked;
WriteJson(settings, SettingsFile);
}
private void Button_Read_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
AccountSettings settings = ReadJson<AccountSettings>(SettingsFile);
this.textBox1.Text = settings.Setting1;
this.textBox2.Text = settings.Setting2;
this.textBox3.Text = settings.Setting3;
this.checkBox.Checked = settings.CheckboxValue;
}
private static string SettingsFile
{
get
{
return Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.LocalUserAppDataPath)
+ "\\accounts" + "\\accounts.txt";
}
}
private static void WriteJson(Object obj, string path)
{
var ser = new JsonSerializer();
using (var file = File.CreateText(path))
using (var writer = new JsonTextWriter(file))
{
ser.Serialize(writer, obj);
}
}
private static T ReadJson<T>(string path)
where T: new()
{
if (!File.Exists(path))
return new T();
var ser = new JsonSerializer();
using (var file = File.OpenText(path))
using (var reader = new JsonTextReader(file))
{
return ser.Deserialize<T>(reader);
}
}
private class AccountSettings
{
public string Setting1 { get; set; }
public string Setting2 { get; set; }
public string Setting3 { get; set; }
public bool CheckboxValue { get; set; }
}
}
This gives you a strongly typed AccountSettings object that can be written and read in a very concrete and repeatable manner.

I have, twice now. He doesn't have the voice for it if he's going to scream (which sounds high, comical with voice cracking and all haha). But ive argued this point against the Gosling haters. The people who don't think he's got the voice for it or cuz he's blonde.
A) hair dye
B) Not too much dialogue under the cowl. A whisper like voice, even more subtle than Keaton.
Now, this could only be achieved if people accept that this new Batman may not be the Kevin Conroy approach that they want. We're all expecting a Conroy style of commanding, deep speaking in the mask. I would love that. But we need to stop expecting it because a Gosling like portrayal could be awesome if done right. It could be eerie, the more silent Batman is.

Q:
Genymotion: Edit /system/etc/hosts file
I am currently trying hard to modify my Genymotion Android emulator's hosts file.
The well-known way of remounting, pulling and pushing does not seem to work at all when using Genymotion, as the filesystem is always read-only and remounting is denied.
Earlier I recognized that Genymotion VMs are already shipped with superuser, so I opened the shell and su'd, but the problem is the same: the filesystem is read-only.
Does anyone have an idea how to change that file in a Genymotion VM?
Thanks
Arne
A:
Run Genymotion Android emulator and introduce this instructions in the console:
adb root
adb remount
adb push /etc/hosts /system/etc
In the third step, specify your hosts file.
It works for me, I hope also works for you.

I had an interesting chat with a co-worker a couple of weeks ago. I haven’t written about it yet because I feel that in a lot of ways I still don’t know exactly what it means.
Two months after I graduated from college, I took a job teaching in the Watts area of Los Angeles. I taught for three years, and I loved every moment of the teaching. After two months searching for a job, I took a job in the Boyle Heights area of Los Angeles.
I couldn’t really tell you why except for the fact that I need to feel useful.
Now, in about three months, I’ll have spent five years in these two neighborhoods. It’s like I blinked and all of a sudden I’m sitting here not quite knowing what to make of it all. I cherish every single moment, even the more painful ones because of everything they have taught me about life and living and being alive.
And, if I were to continue as I do, I’m sure I’d find another job in a similar neighborhood and continue on as I do. I would experience extreme highs. I would go home every single day tired but content in my contribution to society. I would experience absolute lows and cry myself to sleep because I wouldn’t be sure if I could still handle the pain around me. I would laugh with kids most people wouldn’t give the time of day to. I would sob uncontrollably over reality TV shows about gang intervention. I would smile and laugh.
I’d do it all, and I’d think that it was normal. Just as I do now.
I think it’s normal because I can’t think of a better way to live. I feel such a deep connection to humanity through what I do, and it’s beautiful.
What my coworker said to me was that five years was a long time to experience something as though it were simply an experience. She also said the words that have been replaying in my mind over and over again: You need to respect your experience and what it has done to you.
She suggested that truly respecting the experience wouldn’t come until I was away from it.
I think I have been coming very close to this conclusion on my own. A few months ago when I decided to look for a new job, I said that I was thinking of “selling out” for a year or two, getting myself together (financially, I meant) and returning.
It always comes back to returning for me, but in that statement alone I can see that I know that I need to step away. Perhaps some of it is burnout. But I think a bigger part of it is what my coworker was able to verbalize. As long as this is every day and normal, I will never be able to see what it has done to me.
I know that is very true because every time I have sat down to start writing out what this entire experience has meant to me, I can’t. I can’t because it’s not over, and it’s just the life I live.
I will never pull out the moments and the lessons that I have learned in these years and attribute them to the qualities in myself that I admire most. And, yes, I do admire qualities in myself. Some of my favorite things about myself are my inner strength, my calmness, my resilience, my ability to put things in perspective, my vitality, my ability to take risks, and my ability to love deeply with no expectations.
Right now, all of these things exist in a big blur of survival. They have been refined and honed in circumstances that have forced them. Either survive this way, or be eaten alive. I know that very well. Perhaps in some ways that is why they have developed. It has been a journey. I can tell you very clearly how broken I was my first year. How much every little hurt rocked me so deeply that it was though I would never heal. Now, all of these things are part of me in a very simple way.
My spirit is deeply tied to what I do and the people—especially the young people—I have worked with and continue to work with.
I have learned that my perspective has been so deeply shaped by my experiences in very little ways. I was a chronic worrier and organizer prior to these five years. Now, very little fazes me. I take almost all of my problems in stride because I know without a shadow of a doubt that they’re not a big deal. I’m so willing to trust myself and take risks because I have seen what happens firsthand when you are not afforded those luxuries. And yes they are luxuries.
But I think that maybe it’s time that I do respect my experience and know that even strength and more positives will come from time away. It will be a different growth experience, but a necessary one.
I don’t know how long it will take or what I will discover. The one thing that I do know is that every bit of me that I love so much is deeply rooted and shaped by these experiences, and I wouldn’t trade them for anything in this world.

Britney Spears' Driver Hits the Road
As we reported earlier this month, Britney Spears finally had a sudden growth of brain cells and hired a driver to help shoulder the load behind the wheel.
Which is great, as the court says she can't drive with Sean Preston and Jayden James in the car, and she sucks at it to boot. Well, it was good while it lasted - mere days later, T.H. Gossip has learned that the driver is already history.
Sean Preston and Jayden James: Fighting for their lives.
The chauffeur/driver Britney Spears hired to drive her, the young children and the famed court monitor around town is resigning his post. The reason:
"Driving for Britney Spears is a liability." Who would've guessed.
A source close to Spears said that the driver and a monitor both had very close calls with paparazzi and other vehicles while driving Spears around.
A close call? Quiet down, you losers. She normally drives through red lights - or with no license, or into other cars, or over the feet of unsuspecting celebrity news reporters! A close call? That's nothing. Call us when you hit someone.
I miss it here so much! I love it so much! It makes me it's kinda like bittersweet coming here because I used to live here for two years. And when I come here, it's like, man, I wish I had my apartment here still.

LITTLE HAWAIIAN KOREAN KITCHEN COOKBOOK
LITTLE HAWAIIAN KOREAN KITCHEN COOKBOOK Product Description:
The best offrom A Korean Kitchen.
Kalbi, kimchi, meat chon and mandu are some of the delectable Korean dishes we love in Hawai‘i. But did you know that some of these dishes are unique to Hawai‘i in the way they are prepared and served?
Food writer Joan Namkoong, a second generation Korean American, draws on her island heritage to explain the Korean kitchen in Hawai‘i, distinctly different from a Korean kitchen in Korea. The ingredients, the seasonings, the textures, and flavors in Hawai‘i bear the history of Korean immigrants who came to the islands in the early 1900s. Succeeding generations and more recent immigrants have put their mark on Korean food in Hawai‘i, a popular cuisine that has evolved over the past century.
Korean food is a healthy cuisine that relies on many vegetables, grains, fermented foods, and simple cooking techniques that require little fat. Meats are served as a small part of this vegetable-centric cuisine that focuses on many tasty side dishes on the table. It’s a cuisine islanders love for its robust flavors and varied dishes.

The effects of topical dinoprostone on the nasal vasculature. A study of patients with allergic rhinitis.
We studied the effects of topical dinoprostone on the nasal blood vessels of patients with allergic rhinitis. The outstanding changes noted were constriction of the arterioles and capillaries (to a lesser extent) and tight closure of the interendothelial junctions. These changes caused a diminution of nasal blood flow and edema fluid formation, a reduction in the size of the turbinates, and consequently, an increase in nasal patency. However, dinoprostone had no effect on the nasal venules.

An A B C of glaucoma: apoptosis, blood flow and confocal imaging.
A clear understanding and definition of the glaucomas continues to elude the clinician. Broadening awareness of the many risk factors in glaucoma, the wide variety of presentations of the disease and greater understanding of the pattern of progression will help to improve treatment protocols. In the meantime, the diagnosis and monitoring of the disease remains a huge clinical and financial burden. Modern imaging techniques permit quantitative stereometric assessment of the optic nerve head and nerve fibre layer, affording morphologic evaluation to complement clinical psychophysical investigation.

Q:
OMNET++ how to access function or variables in another class
I have modified inet NodeStatus.cc with a customized function that return the variable value as follows:
int NodeStatus::getValueA()
{
return ValueA;
}
Then, I created another simple module called simpleNodeB.cc and I wanted to retrieve ValueA from NodeStatus.cc. I tried the following code in simpleNodeB.cc but didn't work:
if(getParentModule()->getSubModule(NodeStatus).getValueA()==test1)
bubble("Value is the same");
The error message I got -> error: expected expected primary-expression before ')' token. I'm not sure if I used the correct way to call getValueA() function. Please enlighten me. thanks a lot.
A:
There are many errors in your code.
The method getSubmodule requires a name of module, not a name of class. Look at your NED file and check the actual name of this module.
getSubmodule returns a pointer to the cModule object. It has to be manually cast into another class.
Assuming that an NodeStatus module in your NED is named fooStatus the correct code should look like:
cModule *mod = getParentModule()->getSubmodule("fooStatus");
NodeStatus *status = check_and_cast<NodeStatus*>(mod);
if(status->getValueA() == test1)
bubble("Value is the same");

ServiceNow is an amazing development platform where you can build sophisticated applications and address a variety of business and IT problems companies facing every day.
However, when it comes to a ServiceNow development community, it may feel like it stands aside to the rest of the software and web development worlds. ServiceNow is a closed ecosystem, with its own rules and development concepts. This might be good for the platform (from a management standpoint), but it also might be a bad thing for developers. Because they are isolated from modern software/web development concepts and technologies.
We can change that by bringing open source ideas and projects to the ServiceNow development community.
The fundamental principle of open source is the ability to collaborate and contribute, share solutions and ideas. It is not easy when you’re working with a closed ecosystem, e.g. you can find a lot of projects on ServiceNow Share, but it’s not possible to contribute to those projects.
Today millions of developers use GitHub for sharing and contributing to open source projects. We can do the same in ServiceNow development community.
That is the main goal of dev-labs.io — collect and share links to ServiceNow open source projects so everyone can collaborate and contribute to those projects.
dev-labs.io
It is a catalog of links to open source projects for ServiceNow, updated daily.
All projects stored on GitHub in public repos, so you can pick a project, clone/download, install, collaborate, share and propose changes.
This is how modern software/web development community does it.
If you have a ServiceNow project, script snippets, etc. and want to share it with the community — just host it in a public GitHub repo and submit a link at dev-labs.io
Currently it’s just a few projects in a catalog, and you already can find some pretty awesome stuff:
— ServiceNow Portal page prototype built with Blueprintjs components:
— Custom login page for ServiceNow apps:
— Machine learning framework to run predictive models in ServiceNow applications:
Keep in mind — this is an open source and you’re encouraged to contribute!

Q:
Gulp task to only compile files that have changed
I need to write a gulp task that will only compile those Typescript files that have actually changed and came up with this:
var gulp = require('gulp');
var print = require('gulp-print');
var newer = require('gulp-newer');
var ts = require('gulp-typescript');
gulp.task('compile:ts', function () {
return gulp.src([
'typings/browser.d.ts',
'app/**/*.ts'
])
.pipe(newer('app'))
.pipe(print(function (filepath) {
return 'Compiling ' + filepath + '...';
}))
.pipe(ts({
target: 'es5',
module: 'commonjs',
moduleResolution: 'node',
sourceMap: true,
emitDecoratorMetadata: true,
experimentalDecorators: true,
removeComments: false,
noImplicitAny: false
}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('app'));
});
However, this task doesn't find any modified files although there are .ts files with more recent timestamps than their .js counterpart.
Where did I go wrong?
A:
However, this task doesn't find any modified files although there are .ts files with more recent timestamps than their .js counterpart.
That's because you're not telling gulp-newer to compare .ts files with .js files. You're comparing .ts files with themselves, so there is no change to be detected.
You need to tell gulp-newer to compare each .ts file with its .js counterpart:
.pipe(newer({dest:'app',ext:'.js'}))

recipe [link] – cheater korean beef
I can’t take credit for this recipe, but I have to share it since it basically salvaged any hope I had of cooking a meal that would please both my family and our international students. Voila!
I love cooking. I consider my time [alone] in the kitchen to be therapeutic, and I was becoming distraught over not being able to create anything that everyone (particularly our new student) would enjoy. One evening, I was rushed for time and had nothing planned on the weekly menu. I was desperately searching online for something to make and had all but given up when I came across this God-send.
I will admit, my attitude was poor, and I figured that even if the meal was not appreciated, at least I would not have put much effort in. How bad is that?!
Not only was this meal SUPER easy to make, but everyone enjoyed it, and our student had THREE helpings! I served it over rice, and mixed in some frozen veggies (yes, frozen veggies that I heated in the microwave, remember the poor attitude and lack of effort) for color.
It has now become a regular on our monthly meal planning recipes.

Field of the Invention
In the course of the maintenance of an almond orchard on my ranch located near Winton, Merced County, Calif., I frequent such orchard for the purpose of inspection, cultivation, and irrigation, and--during the course of such activities--I am aware of the condition of the trees and recognize any other-than-normal growth characteristics of them. It was under such conditions that the present variety of almond tree was discovered by me.

Stroke: killer clots and killer drugs.
Therapeutic thrombolysis is an immense opportunity in acute stroke care. For the first time, there is a treatment that has a high probability of being effective if given early enough to patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, the risks of intracranial hemorrhage are substantial and as yet the exact indications and contraindications have not been worked out. And indeed how to deliver this treatment in routine clinical practice. As stroke units proliferate and become more organized, and physicians become more specialized in stroke care, it will become easier both to further assess in randomized trials and to deliver thrombolysis, certainly intravenously and maybe in some centers intra-arterially in suitable cases.

Development of natural anti-tumor drugs by microorganisms.
Discoveries of tumor-resistant pharmacological drugs have mainly resulted from screening of natural products and their analogs. Some are also discovered incidentally when studying organisms. The great biodiversity of microorganisms raises the possibility of producing secondary metabolites (e.g., mevastatin, lovastatin, epothilone, salinosporamide A) to cope with adverse environments. Recently, natural plant pigments with anti-tumor activities such as β-carotene, lycopene, curcumin and anthocyanins have been proposed. However, many plants have a long life cycle. Therefore, pigments from microorganisms represent another option for the development of novel anti-tumor drugs. Prodigiosin (PG) is a natural red pigment produced by microorganisms, i.e., Serratia marcescens and other gram-negative bacteria. The anti-tumor potential of PG has been widely demonstrated. The families of PG (PGs), which share a common pyrrolylpyrromethene (PPM) skeleton, are produced by various bacteria. PGs are bioactive pigments and are known to exert immunosuppressive properties, in vitro apoptotic effects, and in vivo anti-tumor activities. Currently the most common strain used for producing PGs is S. marcescens. However, few reports have discussed PGs production. This review therefore describes the development of an anti-tumor drug, PG, that can be naturally produced by microorganisms, and evaluates the microbial production system, fermentation strategies, purification and identification processes. The application potential of PGs is also discussed.

[Serious jaw osteolytic lesions].
Among oral and maxillofacial diseases, the maxillary osteolytic lesions constitute a rich and investigated field to define the more appropriate diagnosis and treatment. In the maxillary region, the same tumors of the other bones (osteogenic sarcoma, chondroma, etc.) cause found together with tumors and dysembryoplasias connected with the teeth development (ameloblastoma, odontoma, odontogenic myxoma, etc.). Moreover in the medullary spaces of the bones, there are reticular and hematopoietic cells that are connected with different diseases (leucemia, myeloma, lymphoma, etc.). What's more, due to the possible presence of pseudotumors (fibrous dysplasia, giant cell tumor, etc.) and metastases of tumors of other regions (breast, lung, prostate gland, etc.), the diagnosis of this disease could be difficult. In this paper the more important pictures of this disease, that due to its recurrence or malignity needs an accurate diagnosis by imaging like CT, CT-3D, MR, etc, are analyzed. The more suitable surgical approach is presented, according to the forms of the disease.

One embodiment of the invention relates to a universal box system which is configured to work with any type box, in particular FD boxes, which allows for the mounting of multiple different types of electrical devices to the FD box. The universal box system can include multiple different adapters which are configured to be connected to the universal box to allow different types of electrical devices to be connected to the universal box.
There are currently multiple types of electrical devices that can be coupled to a FD box, including strap mounted electrical devices, non strap mounted electrical devices, or water resistant devices. Currently there is no known box that is universally adaptable to receive strap based electrical devices, non strap based electrical devices or water resistant electrical devices.
In addition, with regard to FD boxes, particularly in the multiple gang type devices, previously, electrical devices would foe ganged together with a double gang cover, triple gang cover or other type of multi ganged cover, which would have to be pre-fabricated to fit on a multi ganged box. This is because prior to the present invention, there was no known, box and system which would allow for the individual mounting of single gang devices and covers across a multi ganged enclosure. Therefore, there is a need for a universal mounting face as described above, and/or a system which allows for the counting of multiple single gang devices and individual single gang covers on a multi gang box.

Optical potentiometer using fluorescent optical fiber for position measurement.
A new method is proposed for the measurement of an object position with a fluorescent optical fiber sensor having the structure of an optical potentiometer. A physical model is developed, showing how to combine different measurements to reject the influence of source intensity variations and other drifts also. Experimental results are presented, and good agreement with the model is obtained. Theoretical system resolution determination is also performed. Finally, comments are made about using the configuration in fiber optic sensor networks.

Circumventing Locks and Access Controls
Modern operating systems typically restrict access to critical or sensitive resources. For example, an internal database may not be intended for users to view or a resource may be currently in use. Such is the case when attempting to access the password databases maintained on systems running Microsoft Windows. When conducting a penetration test, circumvention techniques are usually required to extract a copy of such files because they are locked by the Windows kernel. It is recognized that the ability to acquire password hashes from a local system is not new. However, existing popular techniques present certain complications in an ethical penetration testing scenario.

Q:
Rails need advice on controller practices
I try to follow RESTfull approach in controllers, but sometimes I need action which won't fit into default ones. E.g. I have an index action rendering all articles which is
def index
@articles = Article.all
end
but what if I also want search them? should I create separate actions for it, or should I bloat existing controller, like:
def index
if params[:search]
@articles = Article.where(id: params[:search_id])
else
@articles = Article.all
end
end
What is the right way?
A:
You should use same action and create a index action only. And search logic goes to Article model.
You should follow this

Multimodal acute pain management.
Unrelieved postoperative pain following arthroplasty has been shown to delay patients' recovery and discharge from the hospital. Undertreatment of acute pain may also result in greater use of healthcare resources and ultimately lead to poor outcomes. This article reviews a multimodal approach to reduce pain at each step of the pain nocioception process by combining various analgesics that each operate through a different site or mechanism of action, allowing the physician to tailor the regimen to the patient. A therapeutic combination of analgesics (eg, opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and bupivicaine) can provide adequate pain relief; however, regional anesthesia is fraught with side effects. The use of multimodal analgesia reduces hospital stay, decreases medical complications, and increases patient satisfaction.

Solution to Unemployment Problem In Nigeria
by Egbo ikpechukwu
(Enugu)
unemployment has been at the root of the many evils facing Nigeria today.yet many of our politicians are not doing anything to help the situation rather they have come out with the idea or notion that most Nigerian graduates are not employable.therefore instead of erecting industries where our youths would be gainfully employed, they use our tax payers money to enrich themselves and families and either build hotels or bring one poverty alleviation program-mes that do little or nothing to help millions of our youths roaming the streets everyday in search of non existent jobs.China as you well know is among the world leading economies of the world today because they have industrialized their nation.Nigeria could also borrow a leaf from them.

Cortisol and immunity.
The relationship between adrenocortical function and immunity is a complex one. In addition to the well-known detrimental effects of large, pharmacologic dosages of glucocorticoids upon the immune process, there is impressive evidence that physiologic amounts of cortisol, the chief glucocorticoid normally produced by the human adrenal cortex, is necessary for the development and maintenance of normal immunity. This evidence is reviewed, and the importance of differentiating between physiologic and pharmacologic dosages and effects is discussed. The popular use of synthetic derivatives of cortisol, which differ greatly from the natural hormone in strength, and the dynamic nature of the normal adrenocortical response, which varies with the degree of stress being experienced, have contributed to the confusion. Further studies of the nature of the beneficial effect of cortisol, and possibly of other normal adrenocortical hormones, upon immunity in humans are needed, especially in view of recent evidence of a feedback relationship between the immune system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and with the increasing awareness not only that the immune process provides protection against infection, but also that its impairment seems to be involved in the development of autoimmune disorders, malignancies and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Q:
Get Google Maps v3 corner coordinates from iFrame to parent page
I have a Google Map with marker data pulled from my database on my website inside an iFrame. I know that with Maps v3 it is possible to get the new corner GPS coordinates when the map is moved in JavaScript.
Is it possible to pass this map information from the map page inside the iFrame to the parent page so I can change the content on the parent page to match what the map is showing with JavaScript? Both pages are on my same server. I imagine that worst case scenario I can just have the JavaScript write the map corner info to a session variable and read that on the parent, but is there a simpler way?
A:
You don't show any HTML or code, so I can't be specific, but it's pretty straightforward to get information from an iFrame.
Suppose frameId is the ID of your iFrame and mapId is the ID of the map in that iFrame. Then:
var iframe = document.getElementById('iframeId');
var iframeDoc = iframe.contentDocument || iframe.contentWindow.document;
You now have the iFrame document and can do the usual:
var map = iframeDoc.getElementById('mapId');
var bounds = map.getBounds();

Sure — we love jewelry, chocolates and those little teddy bears holding heart-shaped pillows; but what do we love even more on Valentine’s Day? Flowers and food. Since we’re strong, independent ladies, we buy ourselves flowers on a regular basis, and we eat food almost every day. So how do we make this Valentine’s Day special??
What if we combine the two “F” words and make flowers into food?! Below are some tantalizing recipes that incorporate all the brightness and fragrance of flowers into things you can eat and drink. Put the pedal to the metal, or in this case, the petal to the cast iron, and get ready for food with flowers.
Dinner — These savory recipes use flowers as the star of the dish, but don’t overwhelm the palate with an overly floral flavor. You can also use the petals or stem of the main-ingredient flower as a garnish for a pretty presentation.
Dessert — Flowers and dessert make an excellent pair, and you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t love lavender or rose with a little something sweet. Just make sure not to use more than what’s called for, as an overly floral treat can easily overwhelm the palate.
Drinks — There are plenty of liqueurs out there that boast floral flavors (like creme de violette and St. Germain), but we think it’s more fun to use the actual flower in the cocktail. You can prepare a flower simple syrup, muddle the flowers at the bottom of the cocktail or use jarred flowers in syrup made just for cocktails. Bonus: Instead of using a petal or two for garnish, place some buds and flowers in your ice cube trays before freezing for an elegant touch.

Vegetable Barley Soup is one of my favorites. Of course I also love Beef and Barley soup or Barley and Mushroom soup too. However, I’ve never thought to venture far from the traditional preparation. Now we’ve gone a bit wild and are combining some of my favorite flavors together for a hearty, spicy and curry inspired dinner. For this week’s French Friday’s with Dorie, we made a Vegetable Barley Soup with the Taste of Little India.
This soup could not have come at a better time. I’ve had a terrible cold for the past two weeks or so and nothing has really helped. It’s been on and off and I’ve pumped myself full of decongestants and ibuprofen in an attempt at some relief to little avail. However, the gentle heat of the ginger and red pepper flakes along with the fragrant, warm aromas from the Garam masala provided some much needed sensory appeal and soothed my symptoms greatly. I honestly felt myself breathe for the first time in quite a while. By today, I was completely better and I think it’s all because of this soup.
I am very happy that this recipe made a generous amount as I’ve been eating it all weekend and still have some left over to take to work this week for lunch.
The thing about barley though is that it expands. It also doesn’t seem to stop expanding, so the broth is nearly fully absorbed into the grain. Which of course, is fine, it’s just less liquidy by the second and third days. You can add more stock if you want, but I am enjoying the more stew like quality at this point.
This recipe was super easy to make too- which is always a plus when you are feeling under the weather and don’t want to be bothered to prep too much. I can definitely see this one being made again (and again!).
While I cannot share this delightful recipe, you can (and should!) buy the book and cook along with us. It’s great fun! Every Friday we make a new recipe. Looking forward to next weeks! For details and to see how others are recreating the dishes from this awesome book, check out the FFWD site.
Even though this week’s French Fridays with Dorie recipe was for a trio of soups, Broccoli, Asparagus and Red Pepper, they were all extremely quick and easy to make- stock (or bouillon cube) based with the vegetables pureed with an immersion blender. Super simple! Just as the name implies. Because I didn’t need a quart of soup for each flavor, I cut the recipes down to one cup each. This was the perfect amount for us.
The broccoli was by far the favorite of the three. The red pepper soup was quite good too, but in my opinion it would have benefited from charring the peppers over the flame and peeling them before being added to the stock. Next time.
I am sure the asparagus soup would have been terrific too had the asparagus been somewhat decent. I, quite literally, bought the last sad looking bunch at the grocery store. They were so shriveled and the tips were already turning and just so pitiful that I actually think using frozen would have been a better option. But alas, I bought them and the soup had, well, a rather bitter aftertaste to it. Thankfully, it was only one cup so I didn’t feel so badly letting it go down the drain.
Overall though, these would make great dinner party or brunch appetizers as they don’t require much fussing, can be made in advance and served either warmed, chilled or at room temperature. Dollop a bit of fresh whipped cream and top with a spice of your choice and “Voila!”, an instant starter. I used pink salt for the red pepper, curry for the broccoli and black salt for the asparagus, but the combinations are endless.

I’ve never been a fan of baked apples. As a matter of fact, I may actually hate them. It’s one of those things you get at your grandma’s house. (No offense to grandmas!) You’d have dinner at her house and you ate everything on your plate just so you could have dessert, because that’s the rule. You’re praying for a big piece of deep, rich chocolate cake with heaps of sugary icing or some warm, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies or a triple scoop ice cream sundae and then, she sits a baked apple in front of you… and it’s got raisins in it, and bits of weird fruit and its brown and shriveled and mushy. And you try not to cry. Because it would rude not to eat it and you’d be admonished into sitting there until it was finished anyways because it’s such a “special treat” that she’d made for you.
So you can understand my disdain for baked apples. It’s not something I’d ever make on my own. However, since it’s this week’s recipe for French Fridays with Dorie, and I am committed to the task, I made them.
Well, now I am an adult and I get to choose which fruits actually go into the recipe- no raisins in sight! (I will eat a few, once in a blue moon, otherwise, they are not really something I have in the pantry.) I also get to cook the apples until just spoon tender and not to the consistency of a mealy, almost applesauce like hot fruit. These apples are peeled too, so they don’t seem so ugly and shriveled when cooked.
These small changes made a big difference.
The filling is a simple mix of dried fruits, nuts and spices. I used dried mango, papaya, apricots, and dates. I chopped some walnuts and mixed them with the fruit, added some honey and a few dashes of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. There was actually quite a bit of this filling left over and I have saved it to top my morning oatmeal for the next few days.
The recipe said it could be served with ice cream, crème fraiche or whipped cream. Instead, I chose to serve it with a dollop of mascarpone that I mixed with a bit of vanilla sugar. I absolutely love mascarpone on baked peaches and other fruits (plus mixed in to various other dishes- like last week’s mac & cheese). It’s almost a “super food” in my book since it goes so well with nearly everything! The mascarpone was the true savior for these.
These apples were much better than I expected. I didn’t hate them. But they were not nearly of the same caliber of the Long, Slow Apples we made last year. Those were amazing! Sweet, velvety and delicious! These were fine, but really, it was no comparison to those other apples. Everyone here took a bite and turned their noses up. Spoiled! Apple pie, apple fritters, or even apple turnovers would have seen a better reception.
This is a dish I will share with my neighbors. I hate to let food go waste and since I would be the only one to eat them, off they go. One is plenty for me.
So that said, I won’t be making this recipe again. I also will not ever torture my kids and their future kids by making them sit at the table and eat baked apples when there must be some luscious chocolate dessert around someplace.
Please don’t let my prejudice discourage you from making this if baked apples are your thing. The recipe works and the flavor is quite good. They are also very pretty. You’d probably love them! Really! They are just not my thing.
While I cannot share the actual recipe, you can (and should!) buy the book and cook along with us. It’s great fun! Every Friday we make a new recipe. Looking forward to next weeks! For details and to see how others are recreating the dishes from this awesome book, check out the FFWD site.

This project will provide extremely valuable specialized training in historical demographic techniques for analyzing longitudinal data to students and researchers working in a variety of demographic sub-fields. The rational for the project is simple: Historical demography has a long history of important contributions to the theory, methods, and practice of population studies, especially in the use of longitudinal data. Historical demographers are currently making important contributions to mainstream demographic research in fertility, mortality, family systems, aging, and migration. Indeed, the size, scope, and temporal and geographic coverage of databases currently available and under construction are unprecedented. Since historical data are often longitudinal and multi-level, they raise subtle methodological problems. Meaningful analysis often requires specialized methodologies, such as family reconstitution and back projection that are unique to historical research. Since they are based on fundamental principles of demographic theory, students trained in these methods are both prepared for historical research and better able to use complex contemporary sources. Historical data can be a perfect model for analysis of demographic processes. The number of observed covariates is usually limited, and historical demographers have excelled in creatively using longitudinal and genealogical information to construct contextual and time-varying covariates. The longitudinal analysis techniques students learn will provide a roadmap for use with any data set with a time dimension, including many large contemporary data sets collected through NIH funding. This program will offer both formal courses and opportunities for practical experience with active researchers. Students will be introduced to data sets and advanced statistical techniques at the forefront of current research. We also aim to secure and archive some of the classic data sets used in earlier research and to make them available for analysis with the most modern methods.

A qualitative evaluation of a citywide Community Health Partnership program.
While there have been numerous community-based programs in Baltimore, Maryland, aimed at helping patients access medical treatments and services, they historically were underutilized and did not operate synergistically. For that reason, sanofi-aventis, along with key stakeholders in Baltimore, developed the Community Health Partnership (CHP) to educate, empower, and connect patients to community health resources to enable patients to be more proactive about their health. The CHP utilizes a community health liaison (CHL) and a community health action team (CHAT) consisting of community health leaders who are hands-on activists and health care workers who coordinate activities and provide guidance for the CHP. The goal of the program is to foster community collaboration to raise awareness of the need to improve health in the community and to identify and connect patients to existing resources and services that can help. A qualitative evaluation of the Baltimore CHP was conducted through focus group and key informant interviews with members of the CHAT and CHP. Results suggest that the CHP program has enhanced patient-provider relationships, brought together a wealth of resources, and made people more aware of health information. The CHP facilitated providers' ability to help patients find resources and empowered patients in the community to better manage their health conditions. In parallel, physicians requested additional culturally sensitive resources on medical conditions that addressed the health literacy of their diverse patients. Through stakeholder engagement, many more communities beyond Baltimore can become better networked to help patients navigate the health care system and improve their health.

Dirty Bob to Refund XRCO Sponsorship From ICM Registry
CHATSWORTH, Calif.—X-Rated Critics Organization (XRCO) chairman "Dirty" Bob Krotts has decided, following an outcry of protest from several adult industry figures, to return the sponsorship funds for this year's XRCO Awards Show provided to the organization by .XXX domain registration outfit ICM Registry.
Over the past several days, Krotts received intense scrutiny on various adult forums from such industry observers as Mike South and original XRCO member William Margold over his choice to accept sponsorship funds from the much-maligned ICM. Krotts claimed in response that he was unaware at the time he accepted the funds that ICM was the body overseeing the registration of .XXX domains.

In addition to the online flack, Krotts got wind that such major participants as Digital Playground (whose contract stars Kayden Kross and Jesse Jane are, respectively, co-hosting the ceremony and going into the Hall of Fame) were considering pulling their presence from the show.
A few individuals from the adult community have stepped up to help replenish the funds ICM had provided, Krotts disclosed in the following formal statement:
"ICM Registry LLC, aka .XXX, agreed to our request today to withdraw as a sponsor for the upcoming XRCO Awards Show. I would like to thank them for graciously bowing out upon our request; their sponsorship donation will be refunded in full. I would further like to thank the many people who supported us and are helping to make up for part of the loss of ICM Registry, LLC's sponsorship donation—with special thanks to Jeff Mullen, Axel Braun, and another XRCO benefactor who wishes to remain anonymous. This outpouring of industry support renews my faith in the business and also assures us of another great industry-only awards party when the XRCO celebrates its 28th annual XRCO Awards Show on April 12th at the Hollywood Highlands."
