Adenylate cyclase in the Drosophila memory mutant rutabaga displays an altered Ca2+ sensitivity.
Adenylate cyclase in washed, crude membrane fractions prepared from the Drosophila conditioning mutant, rutabaga, displays an altered responsiveness to Ca2+. The results are of interest since the modulation of adenylate cyclase activity by Ca2+ has recently been suggested to play a role in molecular events that underlie memory formation. |

An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a device or circuit element that converts an analog signal to a digital data. For example, digital data can include a number of different digital codes, and each of the digital codes can correspond to a unique voltage or current level of the analog signal.
Advances in complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technologies have dramatically improved the performance of systems which generally require an ADC as an interface. As the performance of such systems continues to improve, the performance of analog-to-digital conversion is becoming more important as analog-to-digital conversion is starting to become the system bottleneck in performance as well as power consumption. In addition to the concern of power consumption, some of the challenges in designing an ADC in such scaled CMOS technologies include, for example, a higher resolution, a higher sampling rate leading to a higher bandwidth, etc. |
Inhibition of nuclear factor kappa B (NFkappaB) activity induces nerve growth factor-resistant apoptosis in PC12 cells.
The mechanism(s) underlying nerve growth factor (NGF)-mediated rescue of neurons from apoptosis is poorly understood, although it is well established that the high-affinity NGF receptor (TrkA) plays a pivotal role in mediating NGF effects. The report that the low-affinity NGF receptor (p75NGFR) can induce apoptosis prompted us to analyze the role played by a putative p75NGFR-associated signal-transduction element, the transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NFkappaB), in the modulation of apoptosis in PC12 cells. Here, we report that inhibition of NFkappaB function results in apoptosis of rat PC12 cells, a neuroblast-like cell line model of NGF-responsive neural tissues. Furthermore, NGF did not protect PC12 cells from cell death induced by the inhibition of NFkappaB. These results indicate that NFkappaB function is essential to maintain PC12 cell survival and to permit NGF-mediated rescue, consistent with the idea that signaling elements potentially associated with both TrkA- and p75NGFR are involved in the regulation of apoptosis. |
ITC Kulukundis™ font family
About ITC Kulukundis™ font family
ITC Kulukundis is the work of designer Daniel Pelavin, a square, connecting script which looks as though it could have been cast in shiny chrome for the side of a 1950s American roadster. Pelavin based his design very loosely on a vertical French script but the overall look is all his own. Unlike calligraphic scripts, the lower case letters all connect in exactly the same way and the straight diagonal junctures give the typeface its broad, spacious character and keep it locked into a continuous line. ITC Kulukundis could also be used to create a decorative border for special occasions. |
Q:
Maximo - Return multiple values based on another field using List Where Clause in Domain
I know I can't return multiple values with the Case statement but this is the best way I can explain what I want to accomplish. I am trying to write a statement where I will return different values based on what is entered in another field. I have something like this currently:
SELECT animal WHERE
CASE
WHEN :textbox is not null
THEN (SELECT animal from animalsTable where animalType = :textbox
ELSE (SELECT plant from plantsTable where plantType = 'edible')
So basically, I want to be able to list all the animals that correspond to what the user types in the textbox, but if they do not enter anything in the textbox, then I want to show them all plants that are edible instead. I almost always going to return multiple values for each value they enter.
For example, if the user types 'dog' then i will return 'dog' and 'wolf'. So this causes a problem since the case statement is boolean. How can I get around this?
Thanks.
A:
You can create an ALN Domain that contains all your lookup value list. In this case, both animals and plants. Then create a table domain that references ALN domain based on the key field you want to filter by. You'll need store this key in the Description field as a single value, or multiple values separated by a space or comma.
For us, we used a custom field (subcategory) that displayed a limited lookup from the ALN Domain using a Table domain filtering on the asset department number. The Asset Department Number is listed in the ALN Domain description.
ALN domain contains your plant and animal values. Description of ALN domain contains your key field vale.
If the Asset Department is empty, then entire list shows up.
The list where clause looks something like this:
domainid='CBRSUBCAT' and description like '%' || (select eq5 from asset where assetnum = :assetnum) || '%'
I used a like so we could enter multiple departments for one subcategory separated by comma. For you, you could use description = (equals) if you wanted.

Virginia court upholds Oklahoma argument
OKLAHOMA CITY – A decision this week by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals backs Oklahoma’s argument in the state’s health care case that it has the right to sue the federal government over the law’s large employer mandate. The Virginia case involved whether Liberty University had “standing” to sue the federal government over the health care mandate and whether the Anti-Injunction Act applied to the case. The State of Oklahoma has argued the same issues in federal court in its lawsuit against an IRS rule that goes outside of the law. The federal justices unanimously ruled that the university did have standing and that the AIA did not apply. A brief filed Friday in Oklahoma’s health care case states, “In rejecting the federal government’s standing arguments, the appeals court relied on the fact that, notwithstanding any potential penalties, the mandate imposed substantial compliance costs on Liberty University.” In the opinion, the justices wrote, “Liberty need not show that it will be subject to an assessable payment to establish standing if it otherwise alleges facts that establish standing. … Even if the coverage Liberty currently provides ultimately proves sufficient, it may well incur additional costs because of the administrative burden of assuring compliance with the employer mandate, or due to an increase in the cost of care.” Oklahoma’s lawsuit was filed in September in federal court in the eastern district of Oklahoma. The lawsuit argues that an IRS rule punishes “large employers,” including local government, with millions of dollars in tax penalties in states that did not adopt state health care exchanges, which is not allowed under the Affordable Care Act. The lawsuit also asserts that the IRS rule violates the Administrative Procedures Act. |
The scientific goal of this project is to gain further insjght into how chromatin-based pathways contribute to endothelial cell (EC) gene expression. A focus of our studies is the gene responsible for the production of NO by vascular endothelium, namely endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). We have reported that the promoter of the eNOS gene is hypomethylated in endothelial cells both in vitro and in vivo. In contrast, the promoter was densely methylated in genomic DNA isolated from cell types that do not express eNOS. We have also reported that the nucleosomes that encompass the eNOS core promoter were highly enriched in activating histone modifications in expressing versus non-expressing cell types. The overall hypothesis of this project is that epigenetic processes play a major role in the spatial and temporal regulation of EC gene expression. This project is extremely complementary to our overall PPG theme. We will collaborate with all members of this PPG and take full advantage of the PPG Cores. In Aim I we will define whether the maintenance of cell-specific epigenetic marks at the eNOS proximal promoter is critically important for maintaining constitutive transcription of eNOS in ECs and transcriptional repression in differentiated cell types that do not express eNOS. In Aim II we will define the contribution of epigenetic pathways to the temporal regulation of eNOS expression during EC differentiation and vascular development. We will use in vitro and in vivo approaches. We have found differential patterns of epigenetic modifications at the promoters of a number of EC-specific genes suggesting that our findings with the eNOS gene may be broadly relevant. Therefore, in Aim III we will use a ChlP-on-chip approach to define the contribution of epigenetic pathways to the global regulation of EC-specific gene expression. We will also identify large-intergenic non-coding RNAs that especially enriched in ECs. We anticipate that our studies will provide new insight into the contribution of epigenetic pathways to global patterns of EC-specific gene expression |
This project was created over a couple of months simply for training purposes. I've taught myself the basics of a couple plugins and ZBrush thanks to this.
I made the whole thing in Photoshop except for the node editor, which was created in Illustrator.
Some elements, like the bacteria, the drone wireframe, the telemetery thing and the planet were made in After Effects.
This will be animated at a later point, but for now it works as a simple styleframe. |
Methylmethacrylate reconstruction of large iliac crest bone graft donor sites.
Often full-thickness iliac crest grafts are necessary for various reconstructive procedures. Sometimes large defects remain in the donor ilium subsequent to their removal. Several complications have occurred as a result of these bony defects. Although several reports have been published regarding the repair of iliac herniae, little has been written about procedures to prevent these complications. A technique was devised to reconstruct the ilium with methylmethacrylate. After preparation of the defect, malleable retractors are bent to conform to the contour of the iliac crest. Methylmethacrylate is then packed into the mold made by the retractors. After hardening, the methylmethacrylate casting of the defect is trimmed and routine soft tissue closure is performed. This technique has been used in eight patients without any complications. The appearance of the waist and crests has been excellent; there have been no fractures or displacements of the mass of cement and there have been no infections. All these reconstructions have been mechanically stressed as all patients had well molded postoperative casts and/or braces. Reconstruction of the ilium with methylmethacrylate after removal of full-thickness grafts appears to be a reliable, safe, and easy technique based on a short-term follow-up of up to three years. |
Local, Spatial Audio
In addition to visual fidelity, this application also emphasizes localization and spatialization of audio to achieve a greater sense of presence and immersion. Well crafted audio is one of the most under utilized aspects of virtual reality development that can make a deceptively huge difference in the perceived quality of the experience. This is an area we will explore in greater detail in future projects.
Interactivity
You can configure materials and colors throughout the condo, such as wall colors and floor materials, countertops and more. It also includes the ability to swap alternate furniture items, and panoramic scenery options. This interactivity is achieved by integrating Immerse Framework.
Navigation
We have effectively eliminated motion sickness through a variety of advanced navigation methods. This includes ‘comfort mode,’ with ratcheted strafing and rotation, as well as blink-based teleportation that fades to black briefly while the player is moved to a new location. By removing any sense of vection, players are able to navigate the VR application comfortably. We have also made navigation easy and intuitive for new users, especially those who have never played a video game or used an Xbox controller.
Multi-Player
By integrating Immerse Collaborative system, we are able to invite multiple people to explore the same environment together simultaneously. They can walk, talk and point at things with a laser, which is perfect for most architecture, construction or real estate visualizations.
Furnishings, Fixtures and Finishes
We have developed rigorous quality standards for the architectural environments and furnishing assets we use in our applications. This application draws upon the Immerse Assets library, which are fully prepared for PBR workflow to achieve the greatest possible realism, and are balanced to incorporate the highest amount of detail possible without compromising our framerate performance targets for virtual reality. Each of these assets is built from scratch, and designed to easily swap materials and colors of each component. |
Q:
How does the UITableView get styled in the Core Data Recipes Sample code?
I'm trying to use Apple Core Data Sample code as a basis for my own app. I'm using this code: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/samplecode/iPhoneCoreDataRecipes/index.html
I can't work out how that first table View is styled. I want it to be grouped (UITableViewStyleGrouped), but there seems to be no obvious place to tell it how to style the table. The table seems to be created programmatically since there is no UITableView in the xibs.
A:
In the view controller that handles the table, look for the initWithNibName:bundle: method. Override it so that it contains the following snippet:
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)bundle {
if(self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:bundle]) {
self.tableView.style = UITableViewStyleGrouped;
// Other custom code here...
}

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the world. The prevalence of CHF s increasing as the population ages. While recent advances in the pharmacotherapy of congestive hearts have reduced this mortality and morbidity, a large number of patients develop progressive decompensated heart failure. Typically for CHF, a pump such as a ventricular assist device (VAD) is implanted in a patient awaiting a heart transplant. The VAD is implanted as a “bridge to transplant” for those weakened hearts that are expected to become unable to pump enough blood to sustain life. A VAD is typically attached to the left ventricle and draws blood from the left ventricle and sends the blood to the aorta. During the procedure to implant a VAD, the wall of the left ventricle must be opened, resulting in an interference with the operation of the left ventricle and little chance of cardiac recovery.
A cardiac recovery is possible for patients who suffer from CHF, especially through treatment with biopharmaceuticals (for example, growth factors, cytokines, myoblasts, and stem cells). The likelihood of cardiac recovery is believed to be increased by reducing the stress on the heart from the decompensated state. However, the existence of a VAD greatly reduces the likelihood of cardiac recovery from CHF. The scarcity of transplantable hearts further lessens the chances of recovery after a VAD has been implanted.
Therefore, there exists a need for a hemodynamic assist device that can be implanted without damaging the heart and preventing cardiac recovery. |
Q:
How to match word INCLUDING word with hyphens?
I'm using the following regex to match words with hyphens:
/\b\w*[-']\w*\b/
However, it doesn't match words without hyphens. How can I turn it into a regex that also matches words without hyphens?
A:
You can eliminate the \w* on both sides of the character class and just use:
/\b[\w'-]+\b/
That should match word characters with hyphens or without that are at least >= one character long.

Observing the observation deck of Haneda Airport at night
This is the story of a man marked by an image from his childhood. The violent scene, whose meaning he would not grasp until much later, took place on the great jetty at Orly, a few years before the start of the Third World War.
On Sundays, parents bring their children to watch the planes... Of this Sunday, the child of this story would remember the frozen sun, the scene at the end of the jetty. Moments to remember are just like other moments. They are only made memorable by the scars they leave. The face he had seen was to be the only peacetime image to survive the war. Had he really seen it? Or had he invented the tender gesture to shield him from the madness to come? The sudden noise, the woman's gesture, the crumpling body, the cries of the crowd. Later, he knew he had seen a man die.
I have never been to the observation deck of Haneda Airport before. So last night, before heading to the gates, I decided to take a look.
When I was there, for some reason I cannot comprehend, the opening lines from Chris Marker's LA JETEE started playing in my mind. (I'm a huge fan of La Jetee)
Of course, instead of a frozen sun, all I saw was a round luminous moon. The sky was dark, but there were numerous people on the deck.
They were either hanging out, waiting, reading books, whispering sweet nothings to each other.
I looked at the airplanes through the steel fences.
The colourful lights of the airport that surrounded these planes somehow felt a little intoxicating.
Behind me, behind the airport buildings, there was this mysterious orange glow that lit up the sky. I didn't know what was going on.
My mind, often filled with inane references to movies, anime and video games, compared the scenery before me with imaginary cyberpunk locations.
Maybe that is why I favour the night over the day, when everything is concealed in shadows, there is so much left for my imagination. |
Dear Editor, {#sec1}
============
the publication on "Intrabiliary Ruptured Cyst Hydatid" is very interesting. In this case, Mermi *et al*. mentioned that "In geographical areas endemic for hydatid disease, cyst rapture into the bile ducts should be included in the differential diagnosis even in seronegative cases, although it is not typical for hydatid cyst to be found as a mass lesion in the liver on US in patients with right upper quadrant pain and jaundice. Detailed imaging by MRI/MRCP should be done" \[[@cit0001]\]. There are some points for discussion. First, the main question is whether the diagnostic imaging is sufficient for diagnosis of hydatid cyst. In fact, the parasitic cystic lesion at liver and biliary tract is not uncommon, but the hydatid cyst usually presents a classical big cystic lesion \[[@cit0002]\]. The main differential diagnosis, for tropical countries, is cysticercosis \[[@cit0002]\]. Second, a possible answer to the question of why there is a seronegative result in the present case might be due to the basic clinical pathology principle, namely the prozone effect \[[@cit0003],[@cit0004]\]. In immunodiagnosis or serodiagnosis, if there are excessive antigens, the false negative can be derived, and this might be the explanation for the present case. The way to resolve the problem and confirm diagnosis by serological test is by pre-analytical specimen dilution before repeated serological examination.

Pacemaker Implantation Surgery
Pacemaker implantation is a surgical procedure where a small electrical device called a pacemaker is implanted on the chest or abdomen. The pacemaker sends regular electrical pulses that help keep your heart beating regularly.The pacemaker is a small metal box. It is attached to one or more wires, known as pacing leads, which run to the heart. The pacemaker contains: a battery, a pulse generator and a tiny computer circuit. Pacemakers can be programmed to adjust the discharge rate in response to one’s needs. Having a pacemaker implanted is a relatively straightforward process. It is usually carried out under local anaesthetic, which means the patient is awake during the procedure. The procedure usually takes about an hour and most people are well enough to leave hospital the day after surgery.
Advantages: Having a pacemaker fitted can greatly improve your quality of life as the heart rate and rhythm is normalized. It is a life saving device for the patients.
FAQs
Can I go back to my normal activities after my implant?
Very few activities will be off limits to you because you have a pacemaker. Your doctor may ask you to avoid strenuous activity just after surgery. Doing so helps ensure your lead(s) has time to attach firmly to your heart tissue. After that, you will probably be able to do most of the things you did before your implant.
Is it safe for me to use electrical appliances?
Your pacemaker is designed to work properly around most appliances and equipment, including microwaves, electric razors, and personal computers.
Will my pacemaker ever need to be replaced?
Eventually, yes. Your pacemaker runs on a battery. Like all batteries, the battery in your device will be used up over time. When the battery power reaches a certain point, your pacemaker needs to be replaced.
Related Procedures
Coronary Angioplasty
Angioplasty is a specialised procedure performed in a Cath lab (cardiac catheterisation laboratory). Since the patients are awake and alert through the procedure, they are given medication before and during angioplasty procedure to help relax
Coronary Angiography
Coronary angiography is an imaging technique or a radiological test that helps visualize the insides of the coronary arteries. It shows the exact location and severity of any plaque formation and consequent narrowing of the coronary arteries. This helps the doctor to decide on what treatment is needed.
Valvuloplasty Surgery
Our heart is located in our chest cavity and is a pump made of special muscles known as myocardium. Our heart is divided into four chambers; two upper chambers known as auricles (atria) and two lower chambers are known as ventricles. They are interconnected by a passage and the opening and closing is controlled by valves.
Vascular Surgery
Arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels form the vascular system of our body and vascular surgery is a specialty dealing with diseases affecting the vascular system The diseases affecting our vascular system involve the obstruction in the blood flow due to blockages (aneurysms) in the vessels.
Heart Valve Surgery
Heart valve surgery is used to repair or replace diseased heart valves. Blood flows between different chambers of the heart must flow through a heart valve. Human heart has four valves namely Tricuspid, Pulmonary, Mitral and Aortic Valves. If a valve is not working correctly, blood flow is impaired either by leakage or by back flow.

Cardiac Electrophysiology (EP Study & Ablation)
Electrophysiology is a branch of cardiology that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders. Electrophysiologists are the cardiologists with special training in heart rhythms disorders and its management.
Closed Heart Surgery
Heart Surgery may be required to fix the problem with the functioning of the heart. Closed heart surgery does not require patients to be supported by a heart-lung bypass machine and the heart chambers are opened during the procedure. Some repairs are best performed using closed heart surgery.
Paediatric Cardiac Surgery
Heart surgery in children are indicated to repair heart defects a child is born with CHD (congenital heart defects) and heart diseases a child gets after birth. The surgery is needed for the child's wellbeing. There are many kinds of heart defects ranging from minor to serious.
Double Valve Surgery
Heart valve surgery fixes a damaged or faulty heart valve. There are two main types of heart valve surgeries: valve repair and valve replacement. Double valve surgery is a surgery where two valves are involved. Sometimes a faulty valve can be repaired by cutting away excess tissue in the cusps of the valve and sewing the edges together.
VSD Closure Surgery
A ventricular septal defect (VSD) is an opening or hole in the wall that separates the two lower chambers of the heart. This wall is the ventricular septum. The hole causes oxygen-rich blood to leak from the left side of the heart to the right side.
ASD Closure Surgery
The upper chambers of the heart are divided a wall called “interatrial septum”. The defect in this wall is known as Atrial septal defect (ASD). It is a form of a congenital heart defect, the defect the baby is born with. |
Rt Hon Joan Ruddock MP pays a visit to Alumasc at Ecobuild
One of the many visitors to the Alumasc stand at this year’s Ecobuild, was Rt Honourable Joan Ruddock MP, Minister of State, Department of Energy and Climate Change.
Speaking with our Technical Development Manager Chris Lister, Ms Ruddock experienced the wide range of sustainable building products being showcased on Alumasc’s Stand, including natural cork insulation and ZinCo green roofs and she chatted with Chris about the use of Alumasc’s External Wall Insulation systems within the new government fundingscheme for low carbon refurbishment in the housing sector. Known as ‘Pay As You Save’ (PAYS), the concept is based on spreading the cost of refurbishment for an existing property over a substantial period of time, across a number of different owners.
Ms Ruddock also took the opportunity to take advice from Chris about the advantages of installing a green roof, and revealed that it’s something she is considering for her own home. |

Age influences the relation between subjective valence ratings and emotional word use during autobiographical memory retrieval.
Recent research reveals an age-related increase in positive autobiographical memory retrieval using a number of positivity measures, including valence ratings and positive word use. It is currently unclear whether the positivity shift in each of these measures co-occurs, or if age uniquely influences multiple components of autobiographical memory retrieval. The current study examined the correspondence between valence ratings and emotional word use in young and older adults' autobiographical memories. Positive word use in narratives was associated with valence ratings only in young adults' narratives. Older adults' narratives contained a consistent level of positive word use regardless of valence rating, suggesting that positive words and concepts may be chronically accessible to older adults during memory retrieval, regardless of subjective valence. Although a relation between negative word use in narratives and negative valence ratings was apparent in both young and older adults, it was stronger in older adults' narratives. These findings confirm that older adults do vary their word use in accordance with subjective valence, but they do so in a way that is different from young adults. The results also point to a potential dissociation between age-related changes in subjective valence and in positive word use. |

Q:
Flushing Fabric/Crashlytics non fatals and events
I have an Android app that's deployed on a bunch of tablets my company owns and manages. These tablets are single purpose devices - they run this app and nothing else. The app doesn't ever stop unless it crashes. In fact, we use AirWatch to lock the device into single task mode, so it's more or less impossible for the app to get killed.
From what I've read, this does not sit well with Fabric, which likes to send its non fatal errors and events only once the app is killed.
What can I do about this? Can I turn this behaviour off or somehow programmatically flush the list of events and non fatals to be sent to the server?
A:
Mike from Fabric here. There isn't a way to manually flush or push the events to our servers currently. It's not on our immediate roadmap to add in, but will update my answer if there is a change.

Maximizing discovery efficiency with a computationally driven fragment approach.
A reliable and accurate method for the computational design of novel drug candidates has been a passionate pursuit of the pharmaceutical industry. Such technology would dramatically improve the efficiency of drug discovery by quickly and inexpensively providing potent molecules that can be further prioritized for synthesis based on characteristics such as patentability, specific protein-ligand interactions, ease of chemical synthesis, protein selectivity and pharmacological considerations. Described herein is the progress made at Locus Pharmaceuticals Inc toward achieving this ideal with a fragment-driven, computationally directed approach to small-molecule discovery. Specific lead identification examples from Locus Pharmaceuticals discovery programs demonstrate the efficiency and cost-effectiveness realized by such an approach. |

Cleaner, and possibly more appealing as well. As visually amusing as the waco is, it seems like it would be a decent-enough tasting product, although each one is essentially like eating a breakfast cheeseburger in terms of nutrition. The crunchwrap in particular looks like something I'd actually WANT to eat. Cheese, eggs and sausage wrapped up in a tortilla? It's simple and it's been done a million times before, but it's a combo that works. They even took my advice from nine months ago to “consult the pork council” and started offering bacon versions of the waco in addition to the breakfast sausage version.
Taco Bell declined to give USA Today their sales figures, but said sales of the breakfast items have, to date, “exceeded expectations.” One would think so, if the menu is receiving a nationwide release. It will be interesting to see if they can achieve solid market presence while going up against the likes of McDonald's, Burger King, Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks, which have all had their breakfast items established for a long while.
Finally, I'd just like to call attention to a couple amazing quotes from that piece. First, Taco Bell President Brian Niccol saying that you get people to change breakfast patterns by “better meeting their needs.” He immediately follows this up by saying “We're exploring how to get pancakes portable. We're close.” |

I currently have a DEM raster stored in an ESRI geodatabase. I've been asked to create a purely python (e.g., no arcpy functions) program that works with the values. Therefore, I need to convert the raster into something that can be read by python as an array. What file format would that be?
(Alternatively, is this a terrible idea and should I argue for sticking with arcpy functions?)
A:
I'd recommend using the GDAL Pytho API as a substitute for ArcPy, which will give you an extensive range of functions. If you are using GDAL then you have quite an extensive list of possible formats but GeoTiff is always a popular choice but there are plenty of other options (check the GDAL documentation).
Alternatively, if you don't want to use GDAL, then you will still need some serious array-crunching modules, so NumPy and SciPy spring to mind (in fact you will probably want these tools even with GDAL). If you are going down this route you will find it easiest to save your DEM as an image (so again GeoTiff is still a good choice).

Star Trek is often thought of as being a science fiction franchise about brainy people who generally get along and find themselves involved in complex morality plays, and yeah, it is. However, Star Trek is also full of dark, mysterious, physically commanding and sexy bad guys (and girls).
View Photo Gallery
Between the evil “mirror universe” versions of the ship’s heroes, and bombastic bad guys like Ricardo Montalban‘s Khan and Benedict Cumberbatch‘s John Harrison, Star Trek has a long list of compelling villains to find yourself sympathizing (a little too much) with. Not to mention the fact that patently sexy people such as Kim Cattrall, Tom Hardy and Iman have also shown up to threaten the Enterprise on the big screen.
I mean, sure, it’s a little weird to find yourself sexually attracted to a Klingon or an Android off his rocker, but Star Trek has always been about exploration. And who hasn’t been a wee bit intrigued by Gorn?
And while we’re on the subject of villains…who are Benedict Cumberbatch’s and Zachary Quinto‘s favorite Star Trek foes???? |
Q:
Filter NSFileManger contents for a list of file 'patterns' using NSPredicate
I've an array of strings to be used as a 'filter':
@[@"*.png", @".DS_Store", @"Foobar", @".jpg"]
How do I use above pattern to filter out all the contents of a folder using NSPredicate?
This is what I've got so far:
NSArray *contents = [fileManager contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:fullPath error:NULL];
NSArray *filter = @[@"*.png", @".DS_Store", @"Foobar", @".jpg"];
NSArray *contents = [contents filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"((pathExtension IN[cd] %@) OR (lastPathComponent IN[cd] %@)) ", filter, filter]];
But this doesn't give me the result that I want. For an example png files are not filtered. Also, I couldn't make this it case-insensitive so foobar is not filtered out.
A:
Take a look at Predicate Programming Guide
NSArray *contents = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:@"/Users/new/Desktop/" error:nil];
NSArray *extensions = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"jpg", @"png",nil];
NSArray *files = [contents filteredArrayUsingPredicate:[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"!(pathExtension IN %@) AND !(self LIKE[c] %@)", extensions, @"Foobar"]];
//[c] for case insensitive

Q:
Empty all input fields in a tr in jQuery?
<tr>
<td>X</td>
<td><input type="text" value="blabla"></td>
<td><input type="text" value="blabla"></td>
<td><input type="text" value="blabla"></td>
<td><input type="text" value="blabla"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>X</td>
<td><input type="text" value="again"></td>
<td><input type="text" value="again"></td>
<td><input type="text" value="again"></td>
<td><input type="text" value="again"></td>
</tr>
How can i in jQuery, click the X and it will empty the input fields that are inside the tr?
A:
Change the cell with X to this:
<td><a href="#" class="click-here">X</a></td>
Then put this inside script tags in the page:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery('.click-here').click(function() {
jQuery(this).parents('tr').find('input').val('');
});
});
UPDATE
Made the jQuery based on class name rather than ID so it's more re-usable.

Argument from fallacy
An argument from fallacy, or the fallacy fallacy is a formal fallacy which occurs when analyzing an argument and assuming that, because the argument contains a logical fallacy the conclusion of that argument must be false. It is also commonly referred to as the fallacist's fallacy.
Form
The form of the argument from fallacy requires a meta-argument, or an argument about the claims of an argument.
The issue here is that while the presence of a fallacy is sufficient to render argument A invalid, it does not make C false. Rather, the truth value of C is unknown, because there is no valid argument as to whether C is true or false. |
That is, we WOULD, if it was ever to be truly investigated, which it won’t be.
The Donks, for obvious reasons, don’t want any digging around in their Tranzi Dream Organization and the Republicans, led by George the Wimp’s “New Tone in Washington”, won’t be pushing too hard either.
Expect this whole thing to die down in a few months with the usual wiping it off on a couple of unimportant janitorial positions in the UN while George lines up to lick their sweaty nutsacks again. |
Oh my god. The Power Rangers reboot has officially announced that the show’s classic, scenery-chewing villainess Rita Repulsa will be played by Elizabeth Banks. This is either going to be ridiculous, or a chance to see Banks go absolutely full on bonkers.
As one of the primary antagonists of Might Morphin’ Power Rangers, Rita Repulsa has long been rumored to be part of the Power Rangers adaptation. But now it’s been finally confirmed with Banks’ casting—joining Naomi Scott, Ludy Lin, Becky G, RJ Cyler, and Dacre Montgomery, who will play the titular Rangers. There’s not much out there about her role, but we can presume that she wants to conquer Earth, because that’s what Rita Repulsa always wants. Banks herself took to twitter to confirm the casting, quoting Rita’s classic, cheese-oozing declaration from the original opening to Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers.
You know, I’m looking over those old rumors of Rita Repulsa wanting to rob banks on a quest for gold that floated around last year, and I’m trying to imagine Elizabeth Banks coveting gold. This could be an amazing disaster.

Quick Tips – local honey
The use of local honey has been recommended as a non-medicinal way of treating allergy. As it turns out, it can either help or hurt. In order for “local honey” to actually help, it has to be taken in incrementally increasing doses, much the same way an allergy shot is built up. The benefit is extremely modest. Remember, bees carry entomophilous pollen, whereas anemophilous (airborne) pollen accounts for most allergies. Just using regular amounts of honey on cereal or in tea can worsen allergy due to the random exposure to the pollen it contains. |
The long-term goal of this research is to provide greater insight into the role of CNS serotonin in human behavior. In the past few years, compelling evidence has been adduced to implicate serotonin in the mechanisms of action of potent hallucinogenic drugs, certain aspects of sleep, and in a variety of clinical psycho- and neuro-pathological disorders. The present research program seeks to clarify the functional role of CNS serotonin through animal experiments which analyze the basic component of the system, serotonin-containing neurons of the raphe nuclei, in freely moving cats. |

Photorefractives are able to create real-time holograms through the interference of two or more laser beams within the photorefractive material. The hologram can take the form of a real or virtual image of an object or data, or, in the simplest case, form a diffraction grating. Generally, a diffraction grating is an optical component with a regular pattern, which splits and diffracts light into several beams travelling in different directions. The diffraction grating can be either in phase with the optical interference pattern or out of phase. When in phase, the diffraction grating behaves in the same way as any common diffraction grating, causing equal diffraction of each of the writing beams. However, if the diffraction grating is out of phase with respect to the optical interference pattern, power may be transferred from one or more beams to another. This well established technique is useful for amplifying weak signal beams and for coherently combining two or more beams into a single stronger laser beam.
Diffraction gratings within waveguide structures have previously been used as extremely sensitive optical sensors. The method relies on placing a diffraction grating (a Bragg grating) within a thin optical waveguide at the surface of a transparent substrate. The electric field component of the guided light is able to penetrate a very small distance beyond the confines of the waveguide surface into the surrounding environment. This surface electric field is often called the evanescent field. The propagation of the light within the surface waveguide is highly sensitive to any changes of the surface refractive index, even changes which occur within the evanescent field above the surface. The reflectivity and wavelength selectivity of the surface waveguide diffraction grating are therefore sensitive to any changes of the evanescent field. Materials which come into contact with (or very close to) the surface influence the effective surface refractive index and can be detected by monitoring changes in the optical properties of the embedded diffraction grating. Optical fibers and surface waveguides have both been used successfully for this application and the best devices are capable of detecting fifth decimal place changes in refractive index. Typical applications include biological sensors, refractive index measurement, and product and substance identification. |

Q:
Edimax EW-7811UN dongle drops connection on ubuntu laptop
I have an Edimax EW-7811UN WiFi dongle which I bought for a raspberry pi. I have not managed to get it to work so am testing on my laptop for easier fault finding and since I know the installation and wireless (with built in adaptor) is working fine.
If I disable the built in adaptor (wlan0) and enable and configure the USB Edimax adaptor (wlan2), it constantly tries to connect. Then it will sometimes manage but then immediately drop the connection and try again.
There is no MAC filtering on the router. Any other device works without any problems. I am using WPA2, if that makes a difference.
I have trawled the net and tried every fix of alternative drivers that I could find.. but still no luck. But most of these are for if it isn't recognised.
Any ideas?
A:
I have found a link to a page which appears to work on the laptop! Perhaps the key was to configure via wpa_supplicant.conf rather than through the GUI..?
Anyway, for anyone else having the same problem..
Now to try it on the rpi!

Optogenetic Medicine: Synthetic Therapeutic Solutions Precision-Guided by Light.
Gene- and cell-based therapies are well recognized as central pillars of next-generation medicine, but controllability remains a critical issue for clinical applications. In this context, optogenetics is opening up exciting new opportunities for precision-guided medicine by using illumination with light of appropriate intensity and wavelength as a trigger signal to achieve pinpoint spatiotemporal control of cellular activities, such as transgene expression. In this review, we highlight recent advances in optogenetics, focusing on devices for biomedical applications. We introduce the construction and applications of optogenetic-based biomedical tools to treat neurological diseases, diabetes, heart diseases, and cancer, as well as bioelectronic implants that combine light-interfaced electronic devices and optogenetic systems into portable personalized precision bioelectronic medical tools. Optogenetics-based technology promises the capability to achieve traceless, remotely controlled precision dosing of an enormous range of therapeutic outputs. Finally, we discuss the prospects for optogenetic medicine, as well as some emerging challenges. |

Effective Targeted Delivery of RNA-based Vaccines and Therapeutics: RNA-based vaccines and therapeutics have emerged as great promise for HIV prevention and treatment, respectively. However, many obstacles still need to be overcome, in particular RNA instability, manufacturing problems, and clinically relevant delivery mechanisms of RNA into target cells. The primary objective is to develop improved platform technologies for the delivery of RNA into specific cells and tissues to improve the efficacy of HIV vaccines or therapeutics. To enhance the efficacy of traditional HIV vaccines and therapeutics, combinations of cytokines, adjuvants, broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies, immune checkpoint inhibitors, etc. can also be co-delivered in mRNA form. |
Q:
Does the use of Tor makes additional encryption unnecessary?
I know Tor uses encryption to guarantee anonymity, but I if wish to guarantee the privacy of my conversations should I use an additional layer of encryption?
Can my home router or ISP intercept Tor packets and see its contents?
A:
Yes, additional security is necessary. No, your home router or ISP can't intercept the packets.
But then why is additional security still necessary?
If you decide to use Tor for being anonymous but still use personal information then your data will be safe from your PC till the last hop within the Tor network, but the endpoint can monitor your traffic if he wants to. Simply because he no longer has to send stuff over the Tor network, so your data will have been decrypted at that point such that it is no longer encrypted when sent again. That's why you should still use HTTPS instead of HTTP if you want your data to arrive securely at its final destination.
What if a ISP decides to fake responses to Tor traffic?
This is not possible as a public / private key encryption is being used, see the comment thread.
A:
When reading the Wikipedia article about Tor I found this
You see that the last link is unencrypted. So an additional layer of encryption seems to be necessary.
That's not the case when using TorChat because it uses end-to-end encryption

Q:
Spring MVC AngularJS No mapping found
I've been following the tutorial for integrating Spring Security with AngularJS, but it uses Spring Boot. I can get the tutorial examples working, but I need my app to run as a regular MVC application under Tomcat.
The problem is getting the application to route to the index.html page for the initial view. The only mappings I have in the controllers are the REST calls I want to receive from Angular, but I can't seem to get the application to go to the index page. Spring Boot does this automatically, but I'm going to run this as a web app under Tomcat. Trying to go there directly causes a 'No mapping found' error.
I'm using Java configuration and have the antMatchers, etc as described in the tutorial.
A:
Here are a few entries in my config classes to make this happen.
@Override

Legal and ethical obligations to conduct a clinical drug trial in Australia as an investigator initiated and sponsored study for an overseas pharmaceutical company.
Most multi-centre trials are both financed and sponsored by the pharmaceutical company involved. What follows will map the path adopted for an investigator initiated and sponsored study for a new indication of an established medication. The chief investigators of a company-sponsored, investigator-initiated, multi-centre, placebo-controlled study of an established medication, Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme (PBS) listed for treatment of one condition but trialled in the management of another condition (trial of off-label use), were approached to submit a protocol to repeat the type of study with a different compound. The new study would test a different agent, also PBS listed, for the same condition as in the initial study and with the same off-licence application. The company would finance the study, provide the medication and matched placebo but only review the investigator-initiated protocol which would be sponsored by the principal investigator. This required the investigator to implement the trial, as would normally be done by the pharmaceutical company, yet also act as its principal investigator. The principal investigator, with colleagues and a Clinical Research Organisation (CRO), developed a protocol, adapted for the new agent, and submitted it for approval. Upon acceptance a contract was negotiated with the pharmaceutical company which had to overcome jurisdictional conflicts between common law and civil law legal systems. A CRO was contracted to undertake administrative functions which dictated special contractual agreements to overcome possible conflicts of interest for a sponsor/investigator to protect patient interests. There was need to find indemnification insurance with jurisdictional problems, co-investigators, ethics committee approvals and finance management as just some of the difficulties encountered. The paper will outline how these obstacles were overcome and how ethical and legal issues were respected through compromise. The ethical and legal obligations were addressed in a fashion which allowed the conduct of a trial adopting a proven methodology but novel infrastructure such that it was a totally independent study with regards conduct and reporting of final data, irrespective of the results being either positive or negative. This may represent a more acceptable way to ensure that future clinical trials are devoid of undue influence from the pharmaceutical industry which may still fund the study. |
Q:
Profile a WPF + WCF + EF app
I've lately read about the MvcMiniProfiler, which I found really useful. However, we are developing a WPF app, so we can not use that (we are using WPF, WCF and Entity Framework with an Oracle DB, with the Devart EF provider).
What would be the easiest (most lightweight, smallest footprint) solution to profile our app constantly while developing? I would specifically be interested in how many and what SQL queries are sent to the DB during a WCF call, and how long do they take. Maybe this is completely unrelated to WPF and WCF, and what I need is just an EF profiler. And I am looking for a simple solution, even that would be acceptable, if the profile data was written out to the Debug window.
A:
I recommend reading Julie Lerman's Profiling Database Activity in the Entity Framework. It walks through how to set up tracing, as well as some commercial profiling options, such as the Entity Framework Profiler.
This, combined with the standard Visual Studio profilers, will cover all three of your cases. That being said, a good memory profiler (such as SciTech's) can also be useful when working with the WPF application, in particular, as it's possible (easy?) to create memory leaks in WPF applications.

Why we should be adding tongue scraping to our oral routine (Getty)
When it comes to oral hygiene, we like to think we know the drill. We brush, we floss, and swirl the mouthwash round for added zing, but. should we also be adding a good tongue scraping to our daily routine?
Some experts think so.
Tongue Scraping or Jihwa Prakshalana, the Ayurvedic self-care ritual known as tongue scraping, is an an oral hygiene practice that removes bacteria, food debris, toxins, and dead cells from the surface of the tongue.
Brushing your tongue daily can not only improve your oral health, but also your overall health in some pretty surprising ways.
“The Ayurvedic ritual of tongue scraping is one of the most powerful tools you can add to your daily wellness routine,” explains Dr Reena Wadia, founder of gum disease practice RW Perio.
“There is also now recent scientific evidence backing up the importance of tongue cleaning.
“One of the key benefits is that it removes the tongue coating that builds up over time. This is super important as a tongue coating is one of the most common reasons for bad breath."
Halitosis aside, here’s some other, pretty convincing reasons brushing that tongue of yours could be worth it.
Benefits of brushing or scraping your tongue
It gets rid of bad breath
According to Dr Wadia on of the main reasons to add tongue brushing to your daily routine is to rid your mouth of the nasty bacteria that causes halitosis, more commonly known as bad breath.
“The two biggest causes of oral malodour include tongue coating and gum disease,” explains Dr Wadia.
“Tongue cleaning has an effect in reducing oral malodour caused by tongue coating.”
Read more: Have we been brushing our teeth all wrong?
If left alone, the bacteria on your tongue can transfer to your teeth, which pretty much renders the brushing you did completely pointless.
So do yourself, and those close to you, a favour by scraping all that grimness off your tongue. Your breath will thank you for it.
It boosts your immunity
Believe it or not our tongues form part of the first line of defence in our immune systems. Scraping your tongue not only helps prevent toxins from being reabsorbed into your body, it also boosts overall immune function.
“The tongue is made up of lots of crypts, cracks and irregular surfaces so is an ideal site for the growth of bugs/bacteria,” explains Dr Wadia.
“These bacteria can produce things which taste and smell foul. The tongue is like a carpet, it needs to be cleaned regularly!”
It improves your sense of taste
Research suggests that using a tongue scraper twice daily can improve your sense of taste. That’s because without removing the mucus on your tongue, your taste buds can become blocked making it difficult to recognise the taste of food.
Removing build-up from the surface of your tongue can open up the tongue’s pores, helping to expose your taste buds.
“Your tongue may be able to better distinguish between bitter, sweet, salty, and sour sensations,” Dr Wadia adds.

It makes your tongue look better
According to Dr Wadia buildup of excess debris can cause your tongue to take on a white, coated appearance.
“Daily scraping can help remove this coating and prevent it from returning,” she says.

Not only does giving your tongue a good scraping help with your general tooth and gum health, it also helps to remove bacteria and toxins from the mouth which could help prevent oral health problems such as plaque build-up, tooth decay, loss of teeth, gum infections, and gum recession.
It can help with digestive health
Without scraping your tongue to remove bacteria it can linger in the mouth and travel down the throat to your gut. And no one needs those kind of nasties in their gut. By scraping your tongue you’ll not only help remove that bacteria, you’ll also kickstart saliva production and promote agni (the body’s digestive fire) which can help improve digestion.

To maintain the on-going overall alcoholism program on the Swinomish Reservation and in doing so the objectives would continue to be: (a) to help the Swinomish Indians to focus on solutions for the alcoholic and the alcoholism problems, and (b) the entire community would be exposed in one way or another to a preventive alcoholism program. The program director would serve as a counselor as well as an information and referral source. The youth counselor/supervisor will counsel and supervise the youth, as well as initiating activities in a strong attempt at preventive alcoholism. |

Congressman Young Comment on FDA Environmental Assessment of Frankenfish
Statement
Alaskan Congressman Don Young today released the following statement in response to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) environmental assessment decision that genetically engineered salmon pose "no significant impact" on the environmental or public's health:
"I've said from the beginning that frankenfish pose a grave threat to Alaska's wild salmon stocks, and today's decision by the FDA is foolish and disturbing," Rep. Young said. "As the final process moves forward, I will continue the fight with the Alaska Congressional Delegation to ensure that this product never hits the market."
"In the 113th Congress, I plan to reintroduce legislation that will at a bare minimum require genetically engineered salmon to be labeled to ensure that the public knows what they are purchasing at the grocery store and feeding to their families." |

Microvascular lesions of diabetic retinopathy: clues towards understanding pathogenesis?
Retinopathy is a major complication of diabetes mellitus and this condition remains a leading cause of blindness in the working population of developed countries. As diabetic retinopathy progresses a range of neuroglial and microvascular abnormalities develop although it remains unclear how these pathologies relate to each other and their net contribution to retinal damage. From a haemodynamic perspective, evidence suggests that there is an early reduction in retinal perfusion before the onset of diabetic retinopathy followed by a gradual increase in blood flow as the complication progresses. The functional reduction in retinal blood flow observed during early diabetic retinopathy may be additive or synergistic to pro-inflammatory changes, leucostasis and vaso-occlusion and thus be intimately linked to the progressive ischaemic hypoxia and increased blood flow associated with later stages of the disease. In the current review a unifying framework is presented that explains how arteriolar dysfunction and haemodynamic changes may contribute to late stage microvascular pathology and vision loss in human diabetic retinopathy. |
Q:
SQL NOT IN not working
I have two databases, one which holds the inventory, and another which contains a subset of the records of the primary database.
The following SQL statement is not working:
SELECT stock.IdStock
,stock.Descr
FROM [Inventory].[dbo].[Stock] stock
WHERE stock.IdStock NOT IN
(SELECT foreignStockId FROM
[Subset].[dbo].[Products])
The not in does not work. Removing the NOT gives the correct results, i.e. products that are in both databases. However, using the NOT IN is not returning ANY results at all.
What am I doing wrong, any ideas?
A:
SELECT foreignStockId
FROM [Subset].[dbo].[Products]
Probably returns a NULL.
A NOT IN query will not return any rows if any NULLs exists in the list of NOT IN values. You can explicitly exclude them using IS NOT NULL as below.
SELECT stock.IdStock,
stock.Descr
FROM [Inventory].[dbo].[Stock] stock
WHERE stock.IdStock NOT IN (SELECT foreignStockId
FROM [Subset].[dbo].[Products]
WHERE foreignStockId IS NOT NULL)
Or rewrite using NOT EXISTS instead.
SELECT stock.idstock,
stock.descr
FROM [Inventory].[dbo].[Stock] stock
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM [Subset].[dbo].[Products] p
WHERE p.foreignstockid = stock.idstock)
As well as having the semantics that you want the execution plan for NOT EXISTS is often simpler as looked at here.
The reason for the difference in behaviour is down to the three valued logic used in SQL. Predicates can evaluate to True, False, or Unknown.
A WHERE clause must evaluate to True in order for the row to be returned but this is not possible with NOT IN when NULL is present as explained below.
'A' NOT IN ('X','Y',NULL) is equivalent to 'A' <> 'X' AND 'A' <> 'Y' AND 'A' <> NULL)
'A' <> 'X' = True
'A' <> 'Y' = True
'A' <> NULL = Unknown
True AND True AND Unknown evaluates to Unknown per the truth tables for three valued logic.
The following links have some additional discussion about performance of the various options.
Should I use NOT IN, OUTER APPLY, LEFT OUTER JOIN, EXCEPT, or NOT EXISTS?
NOT IN vs. NOT EXISTS vs. LEFT JOIN / IS NULL: SQL Server
Left outer join vs NOT EXISTS
NOT EXISTS vs NOT IN
A:
If NOT IN does not work, you may always try to do LEFT JOIN. Then filter by WHERE using one of the values from the joined table, which are NULL. Provided, the value you were joining by does not contain any NULL value.

Getty Images Fourth Estate The Clintonites Should Stop Freaking Out About WikiLeaks
Jack Shafer is Politico’s senior media writer.
The Clinton campaign has a three-fold plan to interrupt press coverage of the gusher of emails sent to and from campaign chair John Podesta’s account and released by Julian Assange’s WikiLeaks organization. The first is a Fight Club-style vow of silence about the emails, which appear to have been hacked, as Podesta and the campaign have refused to confirm or deny their authenticity to reporters. “Don’t have time to figure out which docs are real and which are faked,” Podesta tweeted.
The second has been to call attention to what appears to be the emails’ tainted provenance.
“Media needs to stop treating Wikileaks like it is same as FOIA,” tweeted Clinton press secretary Brian Fallon on Monday in one of five tweets on that theme. “Assange is colluding with Russian government to help Trump.” That WikiLeaks hasn’t released material on Trump, Fallon continued, “tells you something.”
The third has been to assign Clinton surrogates to the talk shows to dismiss the significance of the very documents that have so upset Fallon.
Of the three strategies, the second seems more imaginative. Going beyond the traditional dialectic of confirm-or-deny, Fallon hopes to totally delegitimize the emails by branding them as the dark fruits of a scurrilous foreign power. The subtext of Fallon’s protest is that no matter what reporters dig out in the voluminous Podesta emails, their stories will be polluted by the motives and methods behind their acquisition.
Fallon is floating a very large crock here. Real reporters don’t treat Freedom of Information Act requests the way he implies. That is, reporters don’t FOIA the government for a stack of documents and then, upon receiving them, blindly publish the stack or their gleanings and call it a work of journalism. No document obtained via the FOIA process is automatically a reliable source upon which a sound story can be built. Its contents must be tested, verified, cross-examined and blended with other information before it has any business being placed in a news story. The same goes for court proceedings, corporate documents, scientific papers, and audio and video recordings, only double.
Clinton’s allies warn us that because the WikiLeaks dump may contain forgeries—not a fully imaginary admonition, mind you—reporters should keep their distance for their own good. Forged documents are as old as journalism itself, and as technology grows more sophisticated, more forgeries will appear, and reporters will have to be even more vigilant lest they be hoodwinked. But if the Clinton forces had journalists’ best interests at heart, they’d agree to help confirm or deny the contents of the more salacious emails. But they don’t, so they won’t. Until they do, we should consider their warnings about WikiLeaks forgeries to be mostly about throwing reporters off the trail, not preventing the spread of disinformation.
In some corners, the WikiLeaks documents are considered radioactive because they were, purportedly at least, hacked and not merely leaked. This is a difference without a distinction. In both cases, information has been improperly obtained and improperly shared, with laws broken in the process. In most cases, both are criminal acts. Should it matter to journalists that the Podesta emails might have been liberated by, to put it in Fallon’s words, an “illegal hack by a foreign govt.”? Absolutely! That’s a great story! I’d run that story! But angels almost never leak. If reporters limited their appetites to only heavenly leaks, they’d starve. I say that if the material is strong enough, you hold your noise and publish the best and most accurate stories you can from them.
One indicator that the hacked Podesta emails are legit is that they are so boring. One of my Politico colleagues who has plowed through hundreds of them looking for news calls them “The Big Yawn.” The characters in the Podesta emails come off less like Machiavellian schemers than harried politicians responding on the fly with a mixture of bravado, strategy and improvisation to unfolding events. They’re not in control. Like most everybody else in Washington, they’re reacting.
This is not to say that the emails contain no news value. From them we gain a sense of how the Clinton team works together, what Clinton said in her Wall Street speeches and more on the political sabotaging of Bernie Sanders. We learn that Clinton aide Doug Band was feuding with Chelsea Clinton at the Clinton Foundation. That Hillary Clinton has made herself expert in taking both sides of an issue. That Donna Brazile leaked CNN Town Hall questions to the Clinton campaign. That Podesta was courting Martin O’Malley in February, hoping to win his endorsement for Clinton, of petty squabbles involving Lanny Davis and Robby Mook, and that Podesta was phone buddies with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Future emails leaks may contain stronger meat. For my sake, and for the journalists assigned to wallow in them, I hope so. But so far, there is less journalistic significance in the confidential emails Team Clinton is zipping around than in the wild, prolific and quite public tweets that Donald Trump issues nearly every hour.

Medical imaging is the technique, process and art of creating visual representations of the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention. Medical imaging seeks to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease. Medical imaging may also be used to establish a database of normal anatomy and physiology to make it possible to identify abnormalities.
One example of medical imaging may be ultrasonography which is a technique that is based on ultrasound waves and which helps physicians to visualize the structures of internal organs of human body.
In some cases it is difficult to identify the boundaries of abnormal regions in the image. Hence segmentation may be desired. The manual methods of segmentation may require high attention of sonographer, may suffer from poor accuracy, be prone to human error and may be time consuming. Automatic segmentation of medical imaging products can help the physicians by locating abnormal regions in the image. |
Q:
Programmatically open fullscreen webView on click
I want to create like plugin for applications. When the specific button is clicked the webview should be opened on top of the app(activity). The whole logic for this webview should be in .jar library. It should not open new activity, because then I need to copy new layout(.xml file) in to project but I do not want to do this, because adding this new library (plugin) should be as simple as possible. I also should not change the existing layout.
Is any way to open this webview by just adding some lines of code to program and then control everything from library vithout making changes in layouts (.xml).
Update solution:
I solve this by calling new activity from library but this activity does not load .xml layout but webView.
Project activity:
public void onClick(View v) {
startActivity(new Intent(MainActivity.this, LibraryActivity.class));
}
Library activity:
WebView web;
web= new WebView(this);
web.loadUrl("http://www.google.com");
web.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient());
setContentView(web);
A:
Change your Activity's layout by setContentView(webView) and after the registration is done, again change the layout.
Edit:
After setting your layout by setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); invalidate your View :
ViewGroup vg =(ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.Yourcontainer);
vg.invalidate();

Q:
How do I detect that all frames have returned responses from a contentscript in a Chrome extension?
I want my Chrome extension to rerun a contentscript for all open tabs prior to viewing the popup window to gather the most recent data about each webpage (it sends a message to the background page). My problem is that in order to get full access to each iframe, I need to set allframes to true. This means that prior to showing the popup window, I need to wait until I have received a message from each frame.
My problem is that I am not sure how to determine how many frames there are. One approach I looked at would be to detect the frame count from within the contentscript, but there is an open bug which indicates that you can't request that right now. Another is to just wait for a number of responses equivalent to what I got when I first navigated to the page, but it is possible that due to AJAX calls the number of frames increased since then. Finally, I was hoping that the response to chrome.extension.SendRequest would include such information but it does not.
Your help is appreciated.
A:
I suggest that you always run the content script from the manifest, so that the content script will run every time a new frame loads. Then, have the content script open a port to the extension, so that every open frame has a port to the background. Then it's up to the background page to keep track of all the open ports for each tab, and send messages to the desired ports.

The saddest part of a divorce is when you have children, isn’t it? I mean, who’s going to get who for Christmas, Thanksgiving, and summer holidays? Then when one partner gets remarried, things become even more difficult. With Legendary Entertainment splitting from Warner Brothers and shacking up with Universal, dividing the shared assets of the two studios has become quite a custody battle. Seventh Son, a fantasy epic starring Jeff Bridges, is among the first films that Universal and Legendary get in the battle.
Seventh Son was co-produced by Warner Brothers and Legendary, but now goes with Legendary to meet its new mom, Universal Pictures. This is just the latest film to be divided in the Warner Brothers/Legendary split. So far Pacific Rim and Godzilla remain with Warner Brothers, while Legendary gave up their share of Batman vs. Superman in exchange for a piece of Interstellar.
Seventh Son has not generated the most positive buzz as yet, drawing into question who’s getting the better end of the deal. Titles and release dates for Seventh Son have changed several times so far and the release date will probably change again now that Universal has ahold of it. The trailer, which I saw attached to Pacific Rim, does not inspire confidence. It looks like a mix of Eragon, Season of the Witch and Snow White and the Huntsman.
According to the official plot synopsis of Seventh Son, Jeff Bridges plays Master Gregory, a knight who once imprisoned the witch Mother Malkin (Julianne Moore, wearing one of Charlize Theron’s old costumes). Mother Malkin has escaped, plotting vengeance, and Master Gregory must find and train a new apprentice ‘before the next blood moon’ (I’m not kidding you) to fight her dark magic. The apprentice is played by Ben Barnes (Prince Caspian in The Chronicles of Narnia films), the seventh son of a seventh son. The only bright light that I can see in all of this is that Seventh Son was directed by Sergei Bodrov, who earned an Oscar nomination for his film Mongol.
So Universal and Legendary walk away with Seventh Son, while Warner Brothers still has ahold of Batman vs. Superman? I don’t know; I think someone’s getting a raw deal. |
Early neurological deterioration in acute ischaemic stroke: predictors, mechanisms and management.
Early neurological deterioration (END) in acute ischaemic stroke is a common event. The underlying mechanisms are heterogeneous. The clinical predictors of END include severity of the initial stroke, large vessel occlusion, diabetes mellitus, hypotension, and atrial fibrillation. Serial observations and detailed assessment by the trained staff in specialised stroke units are key to the successful management of these patients. Advances in brain and vascular imaging have provided insight into the underlying mechanisms, enabling clinicians to use preventative and therapeutic interventions specifically targeted at them, though several questions still remain unanswered. END has potentially serious consequences on the short term (morbidity and death) and long term (recovery from stroke) outcomes for the patient. Therefore, attempts to prevent and treat END should be made promptly and aggressively. |

Our lives are composed of millions of choices, ranging from trivial to life-changing and momentous. Luckily, our brains have evolved a number of mental shortcuts, biases, and tricks that allow us to quickly negotiate this endless array of decisions. We don’t want to rationally deliberate every choice we make, and thanks to these cognitive rules of thumb, we don’t need to.
Yet these hard-wired shortcuts, mental wonders though they may be, can also be perilous. They can distort our thinking in ways that are often invisible to us, leading us to make poor decisions, to be easy targets for manipulators…and they can even cost us our lives.
The truth is, despite all the buzz about the power of gut-instinct decision-making in recent years, sometimes it’s better to stop and say, “On second thought . . .”
The trick, of course, lies in knowing when to trust that instant response, and when to question it. In On Second Thought, acclaimed science writer Wray Herbert provides the first guide to achieving that balance. Drawing on real-world examples and cutting-edge research, he takes us on a fascinating, wide-ranging journey through our innate cognitive traps and tools, exposing the hidden dangers lurking in familiarity and consistency; the obstacles that keep us from accurately evaluating risk and value; the delusions that make it hard for us to accurately predict the future; the perils of the human yearning for order and simplicity; the ways our fears can color our very perceptions . . . and much more.
Along the way, Herbert reveals the often-bizarre cross-connections these shortcuts have secretly ingrained in our brains, answering such questions as why jury decisions may be shaped by our ancient need for cleanliness; what the state of your desk has to do with your political preferences; why loneliness can literally make us shiver; how drawing two dots on a piece of paper can desensitize us to violence… and how the very typeface on this page is affecting your decision about whether or not to buy this book.
Ultimately, On Second Thought is both a captivating exploration of the workings of the mind and an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to learn how to make smarter, better judgments every day. |
About Twin Peaks Inspections
Duane Younger is a construction professional who already had a quarter century of construction experience prior to becoming an inspector. From the moment an inspection begins, it will be obvious to you that he is passionate about helping people understand their buildings. As a home inspector, Duane has seen nearly every type of home imaginable and is eager to demystify your unique property for you. A quick glance at his client testimonials will show that he is serious about providing you with the knowledge you need to make a good decision.
Your family’s safety is of paramount importance; don’t trust it to a home inspector without Twin Peaks Inspections’ extensive background in home environmental remediation.
Duane’s distinguished construction resume includes extensive work in environmental remediation. Within the building industry, this refers to ensuring that the interior of a structure is a healthy environment with no contaminants that could threaten the safety of occupants over time. Even before becoming an ASHI certified home inspector, Duane had years of experience diagnosing and designing solutions to such serious home health hazards as asbestos, lead paint, mold, and radon. These dangers are not always easily noticeable, even by people with some familiarity with these hazardous materials.
Another key factor which makes a building a healthy environment is Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Many components contribute to a structure’s IAQ, and without a thorough understanding of how they work together, it is impossible to be certain about a home’s long term safety. You shouldn’t have to research what a “panned return” is, or why it can contribute to aggravating sensitive respiratory tracts. You should hire an inspector with a highly specialized background in environmental safety who goes above and beyond to ensure your building is a safe and place for your family and guests.
When Duane isn’t helping you understand your property, he loves gardening, the challenges of hunting and fishing, and the relaxation of a day spent boating and playing on the water. |

Ruminations on Spirituality, Recovery and Creativity
Facing Late Autumn
The leaves lay like a wound,
red and deep across the lawn, while what remains
is frightened away by bursts of November wind.
I look at concrete-gray clouds and sigh,
knowing it is time to cover flower beds,
yank out roots of annuals,
their petals shriveled and frail, as fine as dust
released to the air.
Soon I will cut back roots of perennials,
until everything in the yard is brown,
until birds no longer chirp,
but vacate their nests,
more visible now as branches of trees
shake against the wind
and scrape against windows like angry fingers,
while the house creaks at its joints. |

Q:
Adding multiple executables in CMake
My code in a C++ project is organised as follows
I have several .cpp and .h files which contains my classes
I have several .cxx files which have to be compiled against the .cpp files and some external libraries.
Now, each of the .cxx files have a main() method, so I need to add a different executable for each of these files having the same name as the file.
Also, these .cxx files might not get linked to the same external libraries.
I want to write this build in CMake, in which I am kind of a newbie, how do I go about this?
A:
My suggestion is to tackle this in two phases:
Build a library from the .cpp and .h files, using add_library
Iterate through all your .cxx files and create an executable from each, using add_executable and foreach
Build the library
This could be something as simple as
file( GLOB LIB_SOURCES lib/*.cpp )
file( GLOB LIB_HEADERS lib/*.h )
add_library( YourLib ${LIB_SOURCES} ${LIB_HEADERS} )
Build all the executables
Simply loop over all the .cpp files and create separate executables.
# If necessary, use the RELATIVE flag, otherwise each source file may be listed
# with full pathname. RELATIVE may makes it easier to extract an executable name
# automatically.
# file( GLOB APP_SOURCES RELATIVE app/*.cxx )
file( GLOB APP_SOURCES app/*.cxx )
foreach( testsourcefile ${APP_SOURCES} )
# I used a simple string replace, to cut off .cpp.
string( REPLACE ".cpp" "" testname ${testsourcefile} )
add_executable( ${testname} ${testsourcefile} )
# Make sure YourLib is linked to each app
target_link_libraries( ${testname} YourLib )
endforeach( testsourcefile ${APP_SOURCES} )
Some warnings:
file( GLOB ) is usually not recommended, because CMake will not automatically rebuild if a new file is added. I used it here, because I do not know your sourcefiles.
In some situations, source-files may be found with a full pathname. If necessary, use the RELATIVE flag for find( GLOB ... ).
Manually setting the source-files requires a change to CMakeLists.txt, which triggers a rebuild. See this question for the (dis-)advantages of globbing.
I generated the testname using a string( REPLACE ... ). I could have used get_filename_component with the NAME_WE flag.
Concerning "general" CMake info, I advise you to read some of the broad "CMake Overview" questions already asked here on stackoverflow. E.g.:

Q:
Bayes-Nash equilibrium and correctness of beliefs
Define a Bayesian game as follows: $$G = \left\langle I, \left(A_i,T_i,(p_{t_i})_{t_i \in T_i}, u_i \right)_{i \in I} \right\rangle$$
$I$ is the set of players
$A_i$ is the action set for player $i$,
$T_i$ is the set of possible types for player $i$,
$p_{t_i} \in \Delta(T_{-i})$ is player $i$'s beliefs regarding the types of the other players. $(T_{-i}=\times_{j \ne i}T_j)$
$u_i : A \times T \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is player $i$'s utility function
Then a Bayes-Nash equilibrium is defined as follows:
A (pure) Bayes-Nash equilibrium is a profile of choice functions (or
strategies) $(\sigma_i:T_i \rightarrow A_i)_{i \in I}$ such that,
$\forall i \in I, \forall t_i \in T_i, \forall a_i \in A_i$,
$$\sum_{t_-{i}}p_{t_i}(t_{-i}) \cdot u_i(\sigma_i(t_i),
\sigma_{-i}(t_{-i}); t_i, t_{-i}) \geq \sum_{t_-{i}}p_{t_i}(t_{-i})
\cdot u_i(a_i, \sigma_{-i}(t_{-i}); t_i, t_{-i}) $$
where, for every $t_{-i}, \sigma_{-i}(t_{-i}) = (\sigma_j(t_j))_{j\ne i}$.
And now my question: Am I correct that this implies that, in a BNE, every player (or rather, every type of every player) best responds given their beliefs about the types of other players, but that there is nothing in a BNE that pins down the beliefs a player (or type of player) has on the types of other players? That is to say, in a BNE, a player (or type of player) could have a degenerate belief (putting full probability on some $t_j^*$ for player $j$) in an equilibrium in which $t_j \ne t_j^*$? Put more simply, can a type of player's beliefs about the type of another player be wrong in a BNE?
A:
I think your definition is incorrect, or at least incomplete.** Usually, in a Bayesian game, there is assumed to be a prior distribution on $T$ (where $T = \times_i T_i$). This distribution is called the "common prior" and it is assumed to be common knowledge that types are drawn according to this distribution. In this case, each player $i$'s belief $p_i$ is given by Bayesian updating on $T_i$ and this prior; and in BNE player $i$ must be best-responding to this belief.
The assumption of a common prior and Bayesian update rule (which is what gives this solution concept its name, after all) mean that players cannot be wrong, merely underinformed. In other words, a player with posterior belief $p_i$ is correct about the distribution of types of other players conditioned on her own, even though she does not know which realizations they have.
** Edit. Osborne and Rubenstein's text mentions that it is possible to define a more general game in which each player has a different prior distribution (there is no common prior). So your definition does match their most general definition. I suppose that in such a case two players may hold incompatible views, hence you could say that someone must be incorrect. That all being said, the vast majority of Bayesian games assume a common prior.

The first reason is that in the app stores, you can get paid :)
Second would be that PhoneGap exposes some functionality you can't get at with

Third would be exposure. Most folks are now familiar with shopping for apps in
the app store. While you can accomplish the same thing by visiting a website

Influence of emotion on memory for temporal information.
Contextual information, such as color and spatial location, has been found to be better remembered for emotional than for neutral items. The current study examined whether the influence of emotion extends to memory for another fundamental feature of episodic memory: temporal information. Results from a list-discrimination paradigm showed that (a) item memory was enhanced for both negative and positive pictures compared with neutral ones and was better for negative than for positive pictures and (b) temporal information was better remembered for negative than for positive and neutral pictures, whereas positive and neutral pictures did not differ from each other. These findings are discussed in relation to the processes involved in memory for temporal information. |

This if statement should pick when one of the objects are either empty or its css property display its not set to none.
Checking if the value is empty works, what I am stuck with is with checking if the object its hidden (or display:none).
Thanks.
Cesar.
A:
emptyFields = false;
$(".ClassName").each(function() {
if($.trim($(this).val()) === "" && $(this).is(":hidden")) {
emptyFields = true;
return false; // break out of the each-loop
}
});
Using is(":hidden") is, in my opinion, syntactically cleaner and easier to read than checking the actual CSS value. Give that a try.
Also, use === (type equality) when comparing with an empty string.
Edit: Gah, changing "visible" to "hidden" - my mistake.

Host-parasite relationships in amebiasis: conference report.
Entamoeba histolytica has been redescribed as the separate species E. histolytica and Entamoeba dispar. E. dispar is apparently never invasive in humans, while E. histolytica is the etiologic agent of amebic colitis and liver abscess. Virulence factors that may enable E. histolytica to invade include a galactose-specific adhesin, secreted proteases, extracellular matrix receptors, and a cell surface lipophosphoglycan. Progress in vaccine development includes the identification of the cysteine-rich domain of the adhesin and the serine-rich surface protein as protective antigens. |
Q:
¿ Cómo poner un relative con un fondo difuminado como en la imagen adjunta?
¿ Hay algún Theme en Eclipse que haga esto o alguien ha usado este tipo de fondo ? Es exactamente lo que busco pero con cualquier color que uso lógicamente se me queda mate, no es el resultado, debe ser translúcido.
UPDATE:
Mi código xml donde tengo un botón que es el que tengo que modificar para que se aplique a todos, ya que tengo una lista como en el ejemplo:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Demons Training Session
Natalie did a surprise appearance at a Demons AFL training session in Melbourne this Wednesday. In town for this weekend’s NGV Gala, she took time out to check out how the Dees were coming along in pre-season.
Apparently, Natalie’s best friend, a big Demons supporter, was the reason behind her visit. Their children took part in the warm-up with the players.
Natalie also donned an AFLW guernsey and there were plenty of fans on social media who were happy with her choice of club. As usual, Zimbio has several photos: |
The diagnosis of thoracic malignant mesothelioma: practical considerations and recent developments.
Pleural biopsies for the evaluation of malignant mesothelioma can be some of the most challenging cases faced by the practicing surgical pathologist. We review the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and imaging studies in patients with malignant mesothelioma, and then present a practical approach to the diagnosis using the cytologic features for malignancy and whether there is an epithelioid or spindled morphology; four main scenarios are discussed. The pertinent immunohistochemical work-up is reviewed for each scenario. Following this general overview, more unusual histologic patterns are compared and unusual presentations are discussed. Brief mention of grading systems for malignant mesothelioma and the use of electron microscopy and molecular studies is made. Practical considerations in the diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma are made throughout. |
Q:
How to set an option from multiple options or array with different values to views as selected in select box using PHP
An option value is taken from the database and included in a select box along with other options. How can I set the value taken from the database as selected?
The value from the database is set as $row['value'] and equals s. In HTML the options look like so...
<select name="select">
<option value='xxs'>Extra, Extra small</option>
<option value='xs'>Extra small</option>
<option value='s'>Small</option>
<option value='m'>Medium</option>
<option value='l'>Large</option>
<option value='xl'>Extra Large</option>
<option value='xxl'>Extra, Extra small</option>
</select>
What I want is the $row['value'] (Small) option to be displayed on page load... Is this possible?
A:
The good news is, this is possible and in PHP is quite simple really. First we put all of our options and their respective values in an array like so:
<?php
$options=array('Extra, Extra small'=>'xxs','Extra small'=>'xs','Small'=>'s','Medium'=>'m','Large'=>'l','Extra Large'=>'xl','Extra, Extra Large'=>'xxl');
Follow this by opening the select box and calling upon the options array in a foreach loop...
echo '<select>';
foreach($options as $view=>$value){
As you may have noticed the array contains fields that look like 'Large'=>'l' and the for each loop is calling upon the options as $view=>$value. $view represents the name field, in this case 'Large' and $value represents the value field 'l'. This is important if you expect the user to see different options in the select box than what the values are set at.
Next we create the variable $selected which is going to be used to determine if there is a match between $row['value'] and $value...
$selected=($row['value'] == $value)? "selected" : "";
This is the same as using an if and else statement to set the variable, but shorter. The first section after the variable is asking if $row['value'] is equal to $value, if it does then $selected="selected" else (:) $selected is set to blank.
Next we include the options. Because it is in the foreach loop, we only need one line to insert all of the options...
echo '<option '.$selected.' value="'.$value.'">'.$view.'</option>';
Remember the $selected variable in the last step? Each time the foreach loop goes through a section of the options array set at the beginning, it checks to see if $row['value'] equals $value. If it does then $selected will be set as selected and that particular option will be the one that is shown on page load. It continues through the rest of the array until all views and values have been scanned and returns their respective options.
Finally we close the foreach loop and the select box...
}
echo '</select>';
And there you have it, an automatic way to make a select box option set as selected. A similar pattern can be used for check-boxes, radio selectors, tabs and more.
The full code...
<?php
$options=array('Extra, Extra small'=>'xxs','Extra small'=>'xs','Small'=>'s','Medium'=>'m','Large'=>'l','Extra Large'=>'xl','Extra, Extra Large'=>'xxl');
echo '<select>';
foreach($options as $view=>$value){
$selected=($row['value'] == $value)? "selected" : "";
echo '<option '.$selected.' value="'.$value.'">'.$view.'</option>';
}
echo '</select>';

This invention relates to puzzles and more specifically to magic square puzzles wherein components are assembled in an effort to achieve a solution. |
The present invention relates to apparatus for monitoring and/or controlling plasma processes.
Plasma processes are used on an industrial scale in many technical fields. For example, by means of plasmas it is possible to deposit, atomize or sputter materials, e.g. in sputtering processes, to etch materials, e.g. in ionic etching and plasma etching, and to apply coatings, e.g. in plasma chemical-vapor deposition. A further special application is plasma polymerization. A considerable problem arising when performing plasma processes is their monitoring and control.
It is known to use optical emission spectroscopy for monitoring such plasma processes. The parameter monitored is the light emission of atoms or molecules in the plasma which are stimulated to produce light. It is generally not possible to obtain quantitative results in optical emission spectroscopy. |
Q:
Rails jquery native vs rails gem
I'm using jquery more and more. But, one thing confuses me.
What benefit do you get from using a rails gem that implements a jquery module, over just installing the pieces without the gem?
For instance bootstrap-editable-rails for x-editable. Or twitter-bootstrap-rails for Bootstrap.
Thanks!
A:
I don't need to download them manually and they work seamlessly with asset pipeline right away.
Since it's just a gem, I can use Bundler to take care of updating, checking for new version, resolving dependencies.
They usually provide some sort of integration with Rails. Take a look at the twitter-bootstrap-rails gem. It provides generators for layouts, scaffolds, helpers for working with breadcrumb etc.
