U.S. to push for 'reciprocal tax' on trade partners: Trump
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he would push for a "reciprocal tax" against countries, including U.S. allies, that levy tariffs on American products, but officials did not provide details on how such a tax would be structured or what goods it would apply to.

Marilyn: If we had never fought in any wars, what would the U.S. population be now?
Marilyn responds:
I’ve answered this question before, but because readers send it frequently, I think the reply is worth repeating:
You may be surprised to hear that our population would be roughly the same if we had never fought in any wars. The great majority of wartime casualties have been male, and demographers say that population growth is generally determined by the number and child-bearing capacity (called fecundity, pronounced feh-KUHN-dih-tee) of the females. Fecundity is affected by hardship factors such as disease and a lack of food and water, but having fewer men—who remain fertile throughout their entire lives—doesn’t make a significant dent in population growth. |

Q:
Spring Boot multiple datasources with repeating properties
I have a setup my spring web application where there are two data sources, the main one and the secondary one. These two data sources mostly share all configuration properties apart from username, password and url. As the common property list is growing I want to use the common configuration properties for both data sources and only specify which ones to override for the secondary data source and others. For example, I have setup my main data source bean like this:
@Bean
@Primary
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "spring.datasource")
public DataSource dataSource() {
return DataSourceBuilder.create().build();
}
And in the secondary data source:
@Value("${spring.secondaryDatasource.url}")
private String databaseUrl;
@Value("${spring.datasource.username}")
private String username;
@Value("${spring.datasource.password}")
private String password;
@Value("${spring.datasource.driver-class-name}")
private String driver;
@Bean
public DataSource secondaryDataSource() {
return DataSourceBuilder
.create()
.url(databaseUrl)
.username(username)
.password(password)
.driverClassName(driver)
.build();
}
I've also setup an example project which is similar to my current setup:
https://github.com/Edvinas01/MultipleDatasources
Is it possible to inject the repeating properties such as driver name and others while only specifying the ones to override? Something like this (this doesn't work):
@Bean
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "spring.datasource") // Inject default properties
public DataSource secondaryDataSource() {
return DataSourceBuilder
.create()
.url(databaseUrl) // Override url
.username(username) // Override username
.password(password) // Override password
.build();
}
Edit:
I've replaced my .properties file to .yml configuration file like so:
spring:
jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto: update
datasource:
username: main
password: main
url: jdbc:hsqldb:mem:main
driver-class-name: org.hsqldb.jdbc.JDBCDriver
---
spring:
profiles: secondary
datasource:
username: secondary
password: secondary
url: jdbc:hsqldb:mem:secondary
---
spring:
profiles.active: default,secondary
And the data source beans:
@Bean
@Primary
@Profile("default")
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "spring.datasource")
public DataSource dataSource() {
return DataSourceBuilder.create().build();
}
@Bean
@Profile({"secondary", "default"})
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "spring.datasource")
public DataSource secondaryDataSource() {
return DataSourceBuilder.create().build();
}
My main data source (default) gets the secondary data sources values except for the driver which is not specified in the secondary profile config. While the secondary data source gets the correct properties.
Is there a possible solution for this with without using .yml format for configurations or without having to create multiple .applications files for each profile?
Edit2:
Some clarification, on our setup we have current properties files:
application.properties (sets the active profile according to the machine and common properties)
application-stating.properties (staging machine)
application-production.properties (production machine)
Both staging and production environments must use both data sources, so staging has two data sources (main, secondary) and production has two data sources (main, secondary). Settings such as drivers, and few others are shared between main and the secondary data source. The issue comes when trying to inject those common properties into the second data source.
A:
I recommend the usage of the Spring profiles in combination with YAML configuration (if possible, but it's adaptable on properties files).
// Insert in your Spring Configuration Class
@Profile("!production")
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "spring.datasource")
@Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
return DataSourceBuilder.create().build();
}
@Profile("production")
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "spring.datasource")
@Bean
public DataSource secondDataSource() {
return DataSourceBuilder
.create()
.url(databaseUrl) // Override url
.username(username) // Override username
.password(password) // Override password
.build();
}
If you start your application with the appropriate profile, e.g. second (see http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/boot-features-profiles.html), then your correct DataSource is loaded. The default profile needs no spring.profiles.active value set.
Edit:
There is no need to create additional profiles or files. Reminder: You can set a default profile via -Dspring.profiles.active="production". If no default profile is set, then it's default, which you don't have to create/define.
Ok, back to topic:
Let's say you want to work with a "production" and a "staging" profile and activate one configuration per profile.
You can do it classically like above via replacing @Profile("default") with
@Profile("default", "production") in the first bean.
In the second bean, replace @Profile("second") with @Profile("staging").
The other way is to do it via a logical operator.
For the "production" profile, you want to use the username/password datasource.
So the an @Profile("production") annotation is needed here.
For the non-productive usage (in your case staging), you can use @Profile("!production").
Nice to read:
https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/context/annotation/Profile.html
Edit2:
For the solution with one properties / YAML file, I'd go to the following approach:
# application.yml
# default settings
spring:
datasource:
# insert your default settings
---
spring:
profiles: staging
datasource:
# insert staging settings here
---
spring:
profiles: production
datasource:
# insert production settings here
This saves you additional properties files for each profile.

Many computer devices use automatic speech recognition (recognition of the words and the definition of the words being spoken) and speaker recognition (recognition of the speaker) such as on smartphones, tablets, automobile audio systems, smart houses and so forth. Thus, receiving a clear audio signal on these systems is very important. One or more microphones may be used on a device with an audio system to receive the acoustic waves from a person speaking. The microphone(s) then receive both direct sound waves and reverberated sound waves that reflect off of nearby walls and objects in an area with both the sound source and the receiving microphone(s). When the speaker is holding a phone to his/her ear to speak on the phone and so that the microphone(s) on the phone are within a mere couple of inches of the person's mouth, the interference from reverberation is usually insignificant. When a person, however, holds the phone relatively far away from his/her mouth such as when placed down on a counter or on no hands-mode within an automobile, the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and direct to reverberant ratio (DRR) can be very low such that operation of the applications that use the signal may provide low quality results.
Many systems perform dereverberation to remove the reverberations and make the speech signal clearer. The conventional dereverberation which treats reverberation as an independent interference, however, is often inadequate due to a failure to effectively consider the actual acoustic environment. The acoustic environment is affected by the objects forming the acoustic space, such as walls, and by spatial shading which is the position of objects in the acoustic environment that block an acoustic transmission path from source to microphone. The acoustic environment also may be considered to include physical (such as position) and frequency response variations of the microphone and non-uniform reverberation fields. |
Q:
listViewItem.BackColor not working
I'm using OwnerDraw = true, i'm not able to change the BackColor of the item (i've got several SubItems also and ListView is set to Details view).
A:
I'm not sure if this will help since the question is a little vague, but if you want to set the BackColor of SubItems you need to set UseItemStyleForSubItems = false on the ListViewItem. OwnerDraw shouldn't make a difference.

Q:
Set Default Field Value Based on Site Property
I am looking for a way to set a list field default value to a property that I have programmatically set on the site where the list resides.
Essentially every item in the list will have the same value which will be hidden from the normal user view. Down stream, I am using a content query web part to pull that field so I can group on it.
I am using SP2013.
Thanks for the help
A:
With Site Properties you mean the SPSite.RootWeb.AllProperties property bag which you have filled with some custom property?
Assuming that is what you are talking about, there are unfortunately no standard ways to work with property bags - besides programming that is.
You said you want to set a default value on a list field for each list item. This sounds like an event receiver! You can choose to have it fire on item updating and/or item created for all your items and always set the hidden field on the item with the value from the site properties.

Typical electronic commerce (“e-commerce) sites provide users (e.g., sellers) with computer-implemented services for selling goods or services through, for example, a website. For example, a seller may submit information regarding a good or service to the e-commerce site through a web-based interface. Upon receiving the information regarding the good or service, the e-commerce site may store the information as a listing that offers the good or service for sale. Other users (e.g., buyers) may interface with the e-commerce site through a search interface to find goods or services to purchase. For example, some typical e-commerce sites may allow the user to submit a search query that includes, for example, search terms that may be matched by the e-commerce site against the listings created by the sellers. In another example, some typical e-commerce sites may allow the user to post a listing of an item for sale along with an image of the item so that potential buyers can see a current condition of the item. |

ReactJs Nested Route Switch in Class Component
I have two components,
App and Dashboard
App Component is the main component, inside App, there is a switch to the Dashboard component
I need nested route, Inside Dashboard Component, I need to have "/dashboard/blogs" which switch the Blogs Component inside it.
Here I share the two components,
import React, { Component } from "react";
import {BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Switch} from "react-router-dom";
import Signup from "./pages/Signup";
import Login from "./pages/Login";
import Home from "./pages/Home";
import Dashboard from "./dashboard/Dashboard";
class App extends Component {
render() {
return (
<div id="content-wrapper">
<Router>
<Switch>
<Route exact path="/signup" component={Signup}/>
<Route exact path="/login" component={Login}/>
<Route exact path="/" component={Home}/>
<Route exact path="/dashboard" component={Dashboard}/>
</Switch>
</Router>
</div>
);
}
}
export default App;
import React, {Component} from 'react';
import Navbar from "./Navbar";
import SideBar from "./SideBar";
import "../scripts/dashboard";
import {BlogList} from "./components/BlogList";
import {BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Switch} from "react-router-dom";
import {DashBoardHome} from "./components/DashBoardHome";
class Dashboard extends Component {

{
return (
<div id="wrapper">
<SideBar/>
<div id="content-wrapper" className="d-flex flex-column">
<div id="content">
<Navbar/>
<div className="container-fluid">
<Router>
<Switch>
<Route path={`${this.props.match.url}/blogs`} exact={true} component={BlogList} /> //This is not working?
</Switch>
</Router>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
)
}
}
export default Dashboard;
Thanks In Advance!
A:
The problem is the exact keyword.
<Route exact path="/dashboard" component={Dashboard}/>
With this code snippet you basically say, that the Dashboard component should only be rendered when the URL address is exactly ".../dashboard".
<Route path={`${this.props.match.url}/blogs`} exact={true} component={BlogList} />
With this code snippet you say, that BlogList component should be rendered only when the URL is exactly ".../dashboard/blogs/", but it is rendered inside Dashboard component witch is not rendered, because the URL is not ".../dashboard".
Removing exact keyword from <Route path="/dashboard" component={Dashboard} /> should fix your code.

Q:
Sequelize ORM relations vs foreign keys
I'm about to start new solo project and use Sequelize ORM which I've used in another projects with my colleagues. I've searched a little more SQ docs and figured out that SQ support both model relations and classic foreign keys. I am foreign keys fan but model relations also is powerful way to organize database models and potentialy has more flexibility then foreign keys (IMHO).
So can somebody give an advice of what is better to use in different cases or database architectures?
My new project must not have some polymorphic relations and other strange and difficult structures (at least I hope so) but it will be long-time product with multiple functions and abilities so it have to be flexible enough. Also I don't plan to use anything but project ORM to modify database (mariadb).
A:
Model relations do not offer more power or flexibility than foreign keys: they're the framework's way of expressing those same relationships. A.belongsTo(B), for example, is a "Sequelizey" way of saying that an A record has a foreign key to a B record, which is how the dependency is established in the database schema (if you do establish a hard dependency, which Sequelize allows you to skip).
When it comes to making relationships explicit, it's important to remember that database-level constraints are law, and the only way to really ensure that your data stays correct. Anything else -- including the definition of hasOne or belongsTo in your models -- is advice which may be respected sometimes and so cannot guarantee integrity. Use proper foreign key constraints.

Following the era of decolonization, many authors from former colonies have become internationally renowned and their works have been translated into major world languages. Consciously and unconsciously, these works are written expressions of creolization. This event aims both to build on the mostly literary exposition in these volumes and to (re)focus specifically on issues directly related to the translation of creole languages and cultures, both within and beyond the realm of literary expression. What are the inherent pitfalls in translating creolization? Can, and should, the translation of creolization matter in a globalized world? To what extent can, and how should, creole languages and cultures be translated? Of what relevance and importance is translating creolization to Translation Studies and academia as a whole?
As the field of Translation Studies rapidly expands, issues relating to the translation of minority languages and cultures such as those of creole societies have begun to receive more detailed attention. However, something of a void still exists in regard to the translation of creole languages and cultures, especially from regional academics. This symposium on “Translating Creolization” will therefore provide a forum for airing new avenues of research and proposing new engagements in this area for academics including post-graduate students in diverse interdisciplinary fields such as Caribbean Studies, Cultural Studies, Post-colonial Studies, Diaspora Studies and translation theorists and practitioners. The main aim is to discuss the impact of theory on practice and vice versa as well as to exchange new theories and ideas on the issues specifically involved in translating Creole languages and cultures worldwide. These discussions can shed light on broader translatological issues among other languages and cultures. We welcome comparative work from the Caribbean and other regions where the concept of creolization is a relevant tool of analysis. |
Binding of viral glycoprotein with trypsin and its relation to virulency. I. Initial step of binding.
The interaction between surface proteins of some enveloped viruses and trypsin was studied by computer analysis. Prior to the cleavage of the viral protein by trypsin, hydrophobic interaction between them at the vicinity of their active sites may occur. An exposed hydrophobic portion was found there which theoretically could stimulate the interaction. This interaction would be rather non-specific: according to the analysis, trypsin could bind equally well with weakly virulent virus and virulent viruses. Following this interaction, a specific reaction between their active sites would occur. The specificity was found to be related to the virulency of the virus. |
Thoracoscopy in the management of anterior mediastinal masses.
Thoracoscopy has been found useful for both the diagnosis and treatment of anterior mediastinal disorders. We have reserved it for use during thymectomy in the management of new-onset myasthenia gravis and for the resection of benign thymic, pericardial, and bronchogenic cysts. The application of thoracoscopic techniques in the anterior mediastinum should be approached conservatively. At this time, we believe it should be limited to diagnostic procedures requiring adequate biopsy and to therapeutic resections in which the extent of the resection is assured and therapeutic efficacy is maintained. We await further advances in both the instrumentation and technique before we are willing to undertake the performance of more radical resections using thoracoscopy. The efficacy of thoracoscopic thymectomy in the setting of myasthenia gravis awaits confirmation by larger clinical trials with adequate follow-up. |

Q:
Difference between tables created in SQL DataWarehouse and Database
I know it sounds very silly question but I want to know in what way the tables and their properties would differ if it is created in data warehouse and database.
A:
So data warehouse is an another way to store data but it remains a database.
DATABASE: Any collection of data organized for storage, accessibility, and retrieval.
DATA WAREHOUSE: A type of database that integrates copies of transaction data from disparate source systems and provisions them for analytical use.
The main differences are on high level schema, but at low level they're both databases.

Use of quantitative immunofluorescence microscopy to study intracellular trafficking: studies of the GLUT4 glucose transporter.
Insulin regulates the glucose uptake in muscle and adipose cells by acutely modulating the amount of the GLUT4 glucose transporter in the plasma membrane. The steady-state cell surface distribution of a membrane protein is an equilibrium between exocytosis and endocytosis. The authors study the effect of insulin on GLUT4 using quantitative immunofluorescence microscopy adapted to single-cell analysis. They use an HA-GLUT4-GFP reporter molecule as a surrogate of GLUT4 trafficking. Insulin induces an increase of GLUT4 in the plasma membrane by both increasing GLUT4 exocytosis and decreasing its endocytosis. Quantitative immunofluorescence techniques such as those described in this review can be used to study the trafficking of virtually any membrane protein. |

Characterization of protein adsorption on soft contact lenses. IV. Comparison of in vivo spoilage with the in vitro adsorption of tear proteins.
Tear protein and gamma-globulin mixtures were adsorbed on soft contact lenses of different chemical composition, surface quality and water content. The adsorption process was followed by Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). It was found that gamma-globulin underwent a conformational and orientational change after its adsorption and the extent of structural change appeared to be proportional to the binding strength of the protein with the hydrogel surface. Electrostatic interactions play a major role in the protein adsorption on lenses containing methacrylic acid. Lysozyme is selectively adsorbed on all of the high water content hydrogels and mucin is the major protein component for the pure PHEMA type of lenses. Studies on in vivo spoiled PHEMA and PVP/MMA lenses indicate that lysozyme is the major adsorbed deposit. Papain cleaning of in vivo spoiled lenses shows that although a portion of the deposits is desorbed, the enzyme itself becomes irreversibly adsorbed to the contact lens which may cause harmful effects to the eye. |

'Gremlins' Meets 'Hot Fuzz' in Early 'Cute Little Buggers' Photos
The creatures of Cute Little Buggers aren't as cuddly as they look — and they are soon to be invading theaters.
Heat Vision has an early look at the comedy-horror pic, which is described as Hot Fuzz meets Gremlins. Uncork’d will distribute the film the U.S. and Canada, while High Octane has acquired rights for the rest of the world.
Tony Jopia is directing Cute Little Buggers, in which aliens crash-land in the English countryside and kidnap women from a local ball. The villagers and an out-of-town hero named Melchior must rescue the women and restore peace.
"Tony knows how to give audiences a good time — and his latest is no exception. Cute Little Buggers will spook you – there’s moments in this that will make the goosebumps rise and then some — but it will also give audiences belly laugh after belly laugh," said Uncork’d president Keith Leopard. "At its core it’s a real throwback to the golden-age creature features.”
High Octane Pictures founder Galen Christy also had high praise for the film, adding, "Not many films can immediately hook you from the first frame … but this sure does! Cute Little Buggers is infused with an infectious energy, some high-spirited performances, and a unique premise — I defy anyone not to really enjoy it!" |
[Anonymity and gamete donation].
In France the gamete donation is based on the major principles: anonymity, no payment, solidarity and this mode of procreation can be used only if a medical indication is present in recipient couples. In prerequisite and during the revision of the law of bioethics, a wide debate took place about the anonymity of gamete donation. The objectives of this article is to review the concept of the anonymity and its links with the questions of the origin, the secret of the modalities of the conception and the mourning of the fertility, children, donors and the recipient couples waiting for gamete donation. The international situation is also addressed. The contribution of the CECOS, the centers which practice the sperm and the egg donations is highlighted. The anonymity cannot be discussed without addressing all these links and the complexity of this particular mode of conception. To date, the French society has maintained the anonymity in the new law of bioethics. |
Q:
Why is a button clickable when theres another layout overlaying it?
I got a Layout which is relatively positioned.
In it I got (by now) two things:
A Clickable Button which is bound to an onClick-Event
A LinearLayout which is overlaying the full screen
Although the LinearLayout is overlaying the button, the button is still clickable.
Even if there's another button in the overlay.
How can I avoid this?
A:
The overlaying views (and layouts) have to implement an onClick listener to catch the event, otherwise the event is dispatched on the underlaying views.
A:
Alright I found an approach that works together with animation:
The Layout (shortened):

Locals in San Luis, part of the central-western Colombian province of Tolima, called the police recently after finding what they believed to be a crashed UFO in a nearby forest.
"It was smoking and a strange liquid was leaking from it," said one local resident.
Those who witnessed the strange debris were at first convinced it must have been something otherworldly.
"We all thought it was a UFO or the remains of a space craft," reported the surprised residents to local newspaper El Tiempo.
The mysterious remains were identified by local police as belonging to one of X's (formerly Google X) Project Loon balloons. The balloons are released high into the atmosphere carrying equipment meant to bring internet connections to remote locations across the globe.
"It's a technological device used by Google which moves around and is held aloft by a balloon," said Tolima police commander Jorge Esguerra. |

Q:
Is a transistor appropriate for this?
I have a thermal camera whose external shutter doesn't close when commanded to by the camera. I think it is a current issue. Something is fried or worn out within the camera's electronics. The shutter works fine as I can get it to close by applying Vcc to the correct pin on the shutter. When the camera commands pin A to go high, it goes high, but all that happens is there is a very high pitched whine heard from the camera and the shutter never closes. Vcc is 3v, and when A goes high it is also 3v. How would I make it so that when A goes high, a switch is closed connecting Vcc to A?

Set Person field type in a SharePoint Designer Workflow best practices
In SP Designer, when using the "Set Field in Current Item" action, if the field you are setting is a Person type, there are several choices to "return" the data as. For example, if setting your Person field to the current item's Modified By or Created By, these are also Person fields but can be returned as one of the following:
As String
Display Name
Email Address
Login Name
User ID Number
Is there any gotcha in choosing one of these to set a Person field as? Is there any choice that won't set the person correctly and resolve it to a SharePoint person type?
A:
I always use the User ID Number since that will always be unique for the user. Depending on the set up and management of users the Display Name, Email Address and String may not be unique.

Two Degrees of Reality TV
Here’s the thing: you live in Los Angeles, you’re going to know people involved in television, movies and music. It’s just like if you lived in Omaha, you’d probably know someone in insurance or, I dunno, steaks. It’s just one of the industries.
That means it’s easy to become jaded when you hear about someone being on TV, especially if it’s the reality kind. I’ve known twopeople who appeared on reality shows, and the only charm was seeing my high school classmate get ribbed for sticking with her assclown of a boyfriend (and, yes, I hang my head in shame that I watched Temptation Island). I think we watched only one episode of Alex’s Survivor, and that was because it was at the end of a TnT workout and there was food and beer involved.
However, it’s tough not to be excited when Diana sent this link around. Holy crap! Here’s hoping our man Anthony takes all! |

Harry’s Place contributor says rape isn’t that bad
Last year we ran a piece on former English Defence League activist Andy Hughes, proprietor of the Islamic Far-Right in Britain blog, whose articles denouncing the Islamist threat to western civilisation are regularly crossposted at the notorious Islamophobic blog Harry’s Place.
We pointed out that, in addition to declaring his admiration for convicted thug Joel Titus, the ex-leader of the EDL’s youth section, Hughes had made antisemitic comments on the Expose Facebook page under the pseudonym of Arry Bo. Expressing his dislike of “Yids” who “think they are superior beings and the rest of us are scum”, Hughes wrote that this explained “why Jews have been kicked out of so many countries” .
Given HP’s readiness to denounce opponents of the state of Israel as antisemites, you might have thought they would be quick to dissociate themselves from Hughes and his vile remarks. But no. Sarah Annes Brown, who presents herself as the voice of reason at Harry’s Place (competition isn’t exactly fierce), happily accepted Hughes’ laughable explanation that in posting these antisemitic comments he was simply trying to wind people up. She attributed this to the fact that Hughes is “a bit – skittish”!
Earlier today Hughes joined a discussion at Expose, posting comments under one of his other aliases, Arry Ajalami. Although he has in the past insisted that he has broken with the EDL and rejects its current methods and ideology (which is why HP say they have no problem with publishing his articles), this didn’t prevent Hughes from posting a number of comments that show he still identifies closely with this gang of racists and fascists.
Even more disgusting, however, was Hughes’ reaction to the posting of a screenshot from the EDL LGBT Division’s Facebook page, in which one EDL supporter advocated a sexual assault on Expose admin Darcy Jones. A denunciation of “these muslim dogs and the liberal garbage who protect them”, was followed by: “Let them rape Darcy. She likes these dogs so much.”
Hughes’ response was: “Well my cousin’s mate was raped and she said it wasn’t THAT bad. She didn’t like it but said it wasn’t as bad as when she got beaten up by a gang of Muslims.” Quite rightly, the comment was almost immediately removed, but not before Expose had taken a screenshot which can be viewed here. You’ll notice, by the way, that Hughes had adopted the National Front logo as his profile picture.
During the past week Harry’s Place has been making hay over the Socialist Workers Party’s failure to deal properly with an accusation of rape against one of its leading figures. Before that, HP attacked George Galloway over his remarks trivialising the rape charges against Julian Assange. So you might think that, in all consistency, they would have to sever links with Hughes over his own reprehensible views on sexual violence and cease crossposting articles from his Islamic Far-Right in Britain blog.
But, again, this would almost certainly be a mistaken assumption. If you’re prepared to assist in the witch-hunting of Muslim organisations, then you can announce your admiration for a violent hooligan, express atrocious antisemitic views, declare your support for a street movement of anti-Muslim thugs, claim that being raped isn’t such a bad experience after all, and you’ll probably get a free pass from Harry’s Place. They’ll put it all down to your skittish personality. |

Tag Archives: fairy tale magic
Guys I am geeking out so hard right now! Not only am I going to an special early showing of the new Beauty & the Beast movie tomorrow night, I just found out that you can have your very own enchanted rose. This is some real life crazy fairy tale awesome! The company is called Forever Rose, and they are offering up living flowers that can last up to three years without water or sunlight and theoretically last indefinitely if they are kept in their protected glass domes.
When I saw these white ones, all I could think was how they would be amazing centerpieces at a wedding. Heck, they would probably even upstage the all-important wow of the wedding dress. Oh, and of course I need a full arrangement to live in my work office.
I can’t even begin to articulate how badly I want one of these. It’s one thing to have to get a shirt or a mug with images from the movie on it, but to be able to to have a real piece of the magic? It doesn’t get any better than that for me. Now all I need is a yellow ball gown and a talking teapot and I will be set. |
Broken Shattered Destroyed Will she ever find a way to overcome the guilt? The anger. The pain. Healing seems impossible. Moving on… Unbearable Until him. He’s the only one who can save her. But it comes with a heavy price.
Sylvie and Linc were best friends since 5th grade. Their lives were always intertwined until one night for Sylvie changes everything. A night on her 16th birthday when she gave herself to Dean because she couldn’t tell Linc how she felt. That one night that changed her life in more ways than she could imagine. Now she is a single mom and reeling with guilt over what happened to Dean. In her eyes, she doesn’t deserve to be happy.
EXCERPT
Today, I’m helping Linc finish packing. He didn’t have much left to box up. The movers had done most of the heavy stuff already, but there were some personal stuff he didn’t want them touching. Like his father’s things. Most of which he kept in his office. His father’s medals from the war were displayed in a glass case, along with the folded, framed American flag from his funeral. I remember when he died, how devastated Linc was. It took him months before he would even talk to me about it.
It was music that helped him through that dark time of his life. It’s what kept him going.
Carefully, I wrap up the remaining photos in his office. There are several of him and his father when he was younger. One where they are camping. Linc’s father was a real outdoorsman, loved wildlife and nature. They were always going on camping trips. When we were younger, I even tagged along a few times. There are a few shots of his mom and dad together over the years. It’s so obvious by the look on their faces how much they love each other, and I silently wonder, as I tuck another newspaper-wrapped frame inside the large cardboard box, if people say the same thing about us.
Do they see it written all over our faces? How much we love each other, how deep that love runs?
When I turn around to grab the next picture from the shelf, my breath catches in my throat. I blink, not really sure of what I’m seeing. It’s a picture of me, taken when I was about sixteen. I’m sitting on the bed of his truck, my bare feet dangling while my hands cup the edge of the tailgate. I’m leaning forward, a half smile on my face and my hair blowing on a slight breeze. The edges look to be crinkled and worn, as if someone has spent a lot of time looking at it. Tears prick my eyes.
Linc softly kisses my cheek before slipping the picture from my grasp. He looks at it thoughtfully, a wistful smile playing on his lips as he rounds the desk to sit in the big leather chair behind it.
He holds the photo close, as if seeing it for the first time. “There are certain days that stand out the most in my mind. Like the day we met. The day I sang to you the first song I ever wrote. The day we went swimming at the lake and you lost your top. Prom.”
Exhaling a long sigh, he continues. “We didn’t do anything special this particular day. We’d been to the lake, then shared a pizza at Emilio’s, then we hung out at my house for a while my mom was at work. We sat on the tailgate and I played around on my guitar. It was a day like so many before, yet so different. You kept telling me how proud you were of me and how someday I would shine brighter than any of the stars in the sky. But all I could think about was how the setting sun would catch your eyes just the right way and how they would sparkle every time you smiled. How the summer wind whipped your hair across your face, the delicate strands kissing your porcelain skin. I knew I had to capture the moment or it would be lost forever. So I ran inside and grabbed my mom’s digital camera. You called me a dork, among other things, and refused to smile for me. But I did manage to get this one. Then the very next day I had it developed.”
I stand in front of him, my eyes filled with unshed tears. “I’ve carried this around in my guitar case ever since. Every time I opened it you were right there, smiling at me, encouraging me. I can’t tell you how many times I wanted to give up, but every time a door would slam in my face I would look at this picture and remember this day. You’re the reason I kept going. You’re the reason I never gave up.”
I climb onto his lap, draping my legs over the arm of the chair while tucking myself into his arms. “You’re not the kind of man who gives up on anything.”
“I came pretty damn close a few times, with my music and trying to make it in this crazy fucking business, but I could never give up on us.” |

Q:
J1939 Is address claiming necessary before requesting spesific data? Difference between address claiming and parameter group claiming?
In or order to request spesific data from one node that uses J1939 protocol, is it necessary to claim address before requesting that data? Do we also need to request PGN before that process? Or can we directly request data without requesting PGN or claiming address? Thanks.
A:
Address claiming indicate that you are owner of the perticular address AND there is no other node with same address.
If you know the network will not have any other node with your node address, you can directly request the data. However, you will not comply with J1939 standards.
Your device will not be generic and will be specific to your own network (where you are sure that no other node is using same address).
In short, You can do away address claiming but you should not!

In the United States we maintain a public
records system that varies from state to state. This system is controlled by
"recording statutes." Simply, this means that in each and every county there is
a public office where people may have their deeds or other written instruments
relating to title recorded in permanent record books. The public records provide
constructive notice to everyone as to the rights and interests of parties in a
particular piece of property. There may be other rights and interests that are
not disclosed by the public records (i.e., secret marriages, incompetency,
unknown heirs, forgery, etc.). The public recording offices and their records
constitute the most important source of information about title to real estate.
The offices in which these public records are maintained have different
names in different states. In fact, there usually are several different
offices in each and every county. One office may be for the recording of
deeds, mortgages, and documents pertaining exclusively to land. Other
offices in the same counties may contain the records of other matters
affecting the title to the land. Lawsuits, marriages, divorces, insanity
proceedings, and probate may all affect the title to the land. Still
other offices may contain the records relating to taxes against the
properties or, in some instances, recorded surveys.
In a very limited number of states the Registered Land System (also
known as a "Torrens System") is used. Under this system, a court
proceeding has been brought naming parties who have an adverse interest
in the property. If everything in the proceeding is completed and
handled properly, the plaintiff is said to have a good title as of that
date. This title, however, is not guaranteed by the state. The Torrens
System has been abandoned by most states primarily because the
associated court proceedings complicated title transferring and delayed
real estate sales proceedings caused extra and unnecessary expenses. |

Degenerative Mitral Stenosis: From Pathophysiology to Challenging Interventional Treatment.
Mitral stenosis (MS) is characterized by obstruction of left ventricular inflow as a result of narrowing of the mitral valve orifice. Although its prevalence has declined over the last decade, especially in developed countries, it remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality. The most often cause of MS worldwide is still postrheumatic mitral valve disease. However, in developed countries, degenerative or calcific changes cause MS in a siginificant proportion of patients. Although the range of treatment for mitral valve disease has grown over the years in parallel with transcatheter therapies for aortic valve disease, these improvements in mitral valve disease therapy have experienced slower development. This is mainly due to the more complex anatomy of the mitral valve and entire mitral apparatus, and the interplay of the mitral valve with the left ventricle which hinders the development of effective implantable mitral valve devices. This is especially the case with degenerative MS where percutaneous or surgical comissurotomy is rarely employed due to the presence of extensive annular calcification and at the base of leaflets, without associated commissural fusion. However, the last few years have witnessed innovations in transcatheter interventional procedures for degenerative MS which consequently hinted that in the future, transcatheter mitral valve replacement could be the treatment of choice for these patients. |
Q:
What exactly does (&:id) do in Product.all.map(&:id)
Here's the line of code I'm trying to wrap my head around:
Category.all.map(&:id).each { |id| Category.reset_counters(id, :products) }
Hoping someone can help me understand what (&:id) is doing and how it impacts the rest of the line? I believe it turns the symbol :id into a proc that'll respond to id?!? But then it gets confusing...
Thanks in advance!
A:
Category.all.map(&:id)
is shorthand for
Category.all.map { |a| a.id }
as for how it affects the rest of the line, the above section returns all id values as a single Array. This Array of ids is then passed into another call to each, which iteratively passes each id into reset_counters.

Reality star and business woman Kourtney Kardashian has recovered with grace after an awkward moment during a live cross with TODAY Extra this morning.
The star was speaking with co-hosts David Campbell and Sonia Kruger to promote the Manuka Doctor skin care line when the conversation steered toward her sister Kim Kardashian’s recent experience in Paris .
“You should know that the people of Australia, and of our show, were very empathetic about what happened,” Campbell told Kardashian.
He went on to ask how Kim is doing, when suddenly it became clear her representative had entered the interview room and was attempting to speak with her.
“Stop,” the voice off camera can be heard saying.
“We’re stopping.”
Campbell tried to regain her attention but the connection to the star was lost.
It seemed the interview was over, but Kardashian surprised the audience by graciously agreeing to keep chatting to the hosts, wanting to answer Campbell's question and to clear up confusion about the situation.
“I’m sorry,” she said sincerely.
“Everyone was just talking to me, it got a little crazy and the connection went out.”
Campbell accepted the apology, telling the star he was grateful she continued the interview.
“You guys are the Kardashians,” he said.
“There will be people protecting you. We understand that and for you to come on, to come back to us, is a testament to you.”
The reality star confirmed to the show that her sister Kim has been struggling in the weeks since she was robbed in Paris.
“She’s not doing great,” she admitted.
“We are all really still shaken up. |

Endothelial Cell-Selective Adhesion Molecule Contributes to the Development of Definitive Hematopoiesis in the Fetal Liver.
Endothelial cell-selective adhesion molecule (ESAM) is a lifelong marker of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Although we previously elucidated the functional importance of ESAM in HSCs in stress-induced hematopoiesis in adults, it is unclear how ESAM affects hematopoietic development during fetal life. To address this issue, we analyzed fetuses from conventional or conditional ESAM-knockout mice. Approximately half of ESAM-null fetuses died after mid-gestation due to anemia. RNA sequencing analyses revealed downregulation of adult-type globins and Alas2, a heme biosynthesis enzyme, in ESAM-null fetal livers. These abnormalities were attributed to malfunction of ESAM-null HSCs, which was demonstrated in culture and transplantation experiments. Although crosslinking ESAM directly influenced gene transcription in HSCs, observations in conditional ESAM-knockout fetuses revealed the critical involvement of ESAM expressed in endothelial cells in fetal lethality. Thus, we showed that ESAM had important roles in developing definitive hematopoiesis. Furthermore, we unveiled the importance of endothelial ESAM in this process. |

Q:
Where can I find the x / y coordinates for a layer in PS CS?
I need to find the x / y coordinates for each layer in my psd. I've searched through the help file and online, but I can't find the answer.
A:
Hit Cmd + T to get the transform controls. The control bar up at the top will have the x and y values.
A:
I don't think there's a way to do this in CC.
Not exactly what you are looking for, but you can show the coordinates for your cursor:
Go to Edit > Preferences
Select Units & Rulers and set Units > Rulers to 'Pixels'. Click 'OK'.
Go to the Window menu and click Info.
You will be able to see your mouse position in the Info panel.
You can also see the coordinates for a selected area:
Create a new selection with the marquee tool - don't release the mouse
button yet!
Now hold spacebar, and the small popup now shows the top left
coordinates of the selection. This does not work for existing
selections, but at least it works for new selections.
tip: holding the spacebar while creating a selection allows you to
move it.

I’ve been spending too much time on BuzzFeed. All of those quizzes, illuminating so many aspects of my personality that, until now, I just wasn’t aware of. Like which breakfast meat speaks most about my life? (Canadian bacon.) What’s your real favorite color? (Periwinkle.) Which Golden Girl are you? (Dorothy.) The amount of information I’ve learned about myself, it’s too much. All of those multiple-choice questions, I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore. Is this the real me, Buzzfeed?
It started out innocently enough. I took this quiz called, “What City Should You Actually Live In?” Right away, I started getting really anxious. I worried that it would tell me, “You should live in: Long Island!” because, and it’s nothing personal Long Island, that’s where I grew up, I love Long Island, but now that I’m living in the city, I’m very conscious of the army of “born and raised” New Yorkers lurking in the shadows, waiting for me to get involved in some sort of conversation about New York, and just as it sounds like I might know what I’m talking about, these people get right in my face, “I’m born and raised in Brooklyn Heights. What part of New York are you from?”
So yeah, I don’t even say I’m from New York anymore, I just say I’m from Long Island, to everybody I meet, chances are they haven’t even asked, because the minute I let my guard down and let a New York slip out, somebody shows up to out-New York me, “Sorry, Long Island doesn’t count as New York. You’re not from New York. I’m from New York. I just had Gray’s Papaya for breakfast.”
Anyway, I got to work on this city quiz, started answering multiple choice questions, asking me about my favorite snacks, what color socks I’d prefer to wear on a rainy Tuesday, I thought, I wonder where they’ll place me, Boston? Hawaii? New York? Nope, it was Albuquerque, New Mexico. Really?
“Yes, really,” it read in the little description afterward, “While you’ve definitely got a pretty serious mean streak, it’s not near-sociopathic enough to warrant a move to, say, an isolated homestead somewhere in the middle of Nebraska. You’ve never tried crystal meth, but you haven’t ruled it out completely. And you just love enchiladas, which is great, because Albuquerque has some of the best Tex-Mex food in the country!”
I don’t know exactly how they got the Tex-Mex answer. If I remember correctly, the question was something like, “If you had to eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?” And I looked at the selection of answers, nothing really spoke to me, it just seemed like nine food items placed on the screen at random, gummy bears, ramen instant noodles, steak. I don’t remember anything about enchiladas.
But I guess it must have been a really complicated quiz, all sorts of advanced algorithms and sophisticated programming, because who am I to doubt the power of the Internet? Some girl I went to college with posted that she should really be living in Barcelona. It was hard to judge her total reaction, but based on the, “OMG I knew it!” that she wrote on top of the results, it seems like these quizzes are working for other people.
I took another popular quiz, “What Age Are You, Really?” which, by piecing together character traits and behavioral patterns as deduced through yet another series of ultra-specific multiple choice questions, tells you what your real age is. Like, not your real, real age, but the age which you are really. Does that make sense? It didn’t to me at first either, but I saw on Facebook that all of my friends were really twenty-four, very adventurous, super carefree and full of life, even though everyone I know is either almost thirty or already thirty.
“You’re real age is …” I couldn’t wait to have the Internet confirm for me what I already knew, that I’m still as cool as I was in my early twenties, that even though I’m still young, I’m actually a lot younger, “three.” Three? I mean, I knew that I was youthful for my age, but this is pretty youthful. Do I really act like a three year old?
“You’re not afraid to take a knife and stick it right into a wall outlet, even though your fingers and hands are covered in electric burns, this time it’s going to be different, this time you’re going to find out exactly what’s on the other side of that socket. You’ve never outgrown your love of finger painting, and … what’s that smell? Is mom heating up some chicken nuggets for lunch? Mom’s making chicken nuggets for lunch! Yes! Extra ketchup please! No, I don’t want to wear a bib! Come on mom, I’m three years old, I can do whatever I want!”
This one was hit me a little hard, was BuzzFeed trying to tell me about some developmental disorder? Am I really this much of a handful to my friends and family? To my wife? I mean, doesn’t everybody miss the toilet seat once in a while? Those things are hard, man, and I’m so tall, it’s so far away. Why does that automatically make me a three year old?
But if BuzzFeed says so, then I guess I’ve got a lot of growing up to do. Which is nice, if you think about it, everybody else my age is busy worrying about unfinished dreams and graying temples, I can get back to basics, finally tackle those motor skills and basic social pleasantries. Because, yeah, I suppose it wasn’t really that nice when I grabbed that sandwich out of my coworker’s hand as he was about to take a bite. Even though I wanted it. That was his sandwich, and that was a really immature thing for me to do, to lick the whole thing so he wouldn’t try to get it back, and then to not even eat all of it, just the turkey really, I guess that wasn’t really grown-up of me.
And there are so many more quizzes, so much left to learn about myself. Thanks BuzzFeed, keep making quizzes, I’ll keep taking them, and I’ll continue to post the results on Facebook. |
Q:
link from HTML href to native app
right now I'm creating a custom tweet button for user to click it and automatically call twitter web intent to share/tweet some link. the method I'm using now is creating an anchor with href to https://twitter.com/share?url=[some url to share]
because I will use this on mobile site, is it possible to create similar href or similar link that will instead open the native app to tweet rather than opening a new tab from the browser that will open twitter website? (My goal is to make the native feeling of the tweet button from my mobile site)
any help appreciated, thanks!
A:
Look into iOS URL Schemes for twitter.
The twitter scheme, for example, can be invoked with twitter://user?screen_name=lorenb.

Q:
Control yum update packages sequence
Couldn't find an answer anywhere so I will try here.
Is there a way to tell yum, while running yum update, to update a specific package as the last one?
I am not talking about requires / dependencies, It just needs to be updated after all other packages on the system.
In a nutshell, I manage local repositories in my environment and this particular rpm holds the version for each repository, so by updating it as last I can label the client with that particular version.
A:
You can run two yum commands. First one excluding the .rpm that you don't want to be updated and second, running your usual update.
$ yum --exclude="foo*.rpm" update
If foo*.rpm comes from a particular repository, then during the update, you can disable it using its name. Name of a repository can be found by looking into /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo file or using the command
$ yum repolist
Then disable the repo and update. Note, this will disable update of all packages coming from this repo.
$ yum --disablerepo="nameOfRepo" update
Finally, run your usual update
$ yum update

Q:
Display target data from firebase
I display a list of my targets in fragmentA, when I click on one of them, I pass the guid of this target to the fragmentB
After that, I try in the fragmentB display the data of this target for this guid:
private fun fetchTarget(guid: String) {
val uid = firebaseUser!!.uid
// Attach a listener to read the data at the target id
databaseReference?.child("targets")?.child("users")
?.child(uid)?.child("targets")?.child(guid)?.addValueEventListener(object : ValueEventListener {
override fun onDataChange(dataSnapshot: DataSnapshot) {
val data = dataSnapshot.value as? HashMap<String, String>?
val name = data?.get("name") ?: ""
val description = data?.get("description") ?: ""
if (name.isEmpty()) Log.d("some", "nameIsEmpty")
else updateViewsContent(name = name, description = description)
}
override fun onCancelled(databaseError: DatabaseError) {
Log.d("some", databaseError.message)
}
})
}
Here I get the guid: -LmfEVnwgqCUqt7beHDg
And in my console i have next structure:
Unfortunately I can't display data of target, though like all the chains I installed
Q: How i can download -LmfEVnx-y7c3oh8_U9F ?
A:
To display the data that belongs to a single guid, you should use a query and then iterate through the DataSnapshot object like in the following lines of code:
val uid = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().currentUser!!.uid
val rootRef = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().reference
val targetsRef = rootRef!!.child("targets").child("users").child(uid).child("targets")
val query = targetsRef.orderByChild("guid").equalTo("-LmfEVnwgqCUqt7beHDg")
val valueEventListener = object : ValueEventListener {
override fun onDataChange(dataSnapshot: DataSnapshot) {
for (ds in dataSnapshot.children) {
val target = ds.getValue(Target::class.java)
Log.d(TAG, target.name)
}
}
override fun onCancelled(databaseError: DatabaseError) {
Log.d(TAG, databaseError.getMessage()) //Don't ignore errors!
}
}
query.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(valueEventListener)
The result in the logcat will be:

North Korea's state-run Korean Central News Agency reported on Monday morning in Pyongyang that leader Kim Jong-un is in Singapore for Tuesday’s historic summit with President Trump — breaking its silence to citizens who have long been kept in the dark about the timing of the momentous occasion, the AP reports.
The details: A report by the outlet, the AP notes, said both leaders will exchange “wide-ranging and profound views” on establishing a new relationship, building a “permanent and durable peace mechanism” and the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
The backdrop: Until today, the nation's official state-run media had previously only reported that both leaders would meet, but it hadn’t informed citizens about the time and place of the meeting — let alone that Kim had arrived in Singapore earlier today. Previously, the current top story in North Korea centered on Kim's visit to a seafood restaurant in Pyongyang. |

Former Oklahoma City Thunder player Enes Kanter intends to open a charter school in the metro area.
Kanter, who now plays for the Boston Celtics, has informed Oklahoma City Public Schools of his plan to open the Enes Kanter School for Exceptional Learning. Kanter notified the school district in a letter, first obtained by The Frontier.
Kanter and a team of “civic-minded individuals” from Oklahoma City will submit an official charter school application to the school district on Tuesday. The application would come before the Oklahoma City School Board for a vote.
Kanter and his partners haven’t chosen a location for the charter school, but their goal is to choose a site where “the need is high,” according to the letter. |
John Wirth was one of the main writers for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and now he's showrunner of NBC's The Cape, launching Sunday. We caught up with him to ask about moving from killer robots to supervillains. Spoilers ahead...
We caught up with John Wirth at San Diego Comic Con last summer and he gave us an exclusive interview about his work on The Cape, which we decided to save until the show was about to air. So here it is!
We were huge fans of The Sarah Connor Chronicles, so we were excited when we heard you were going to be showrunner over at The Cape. Do the two shows have anything else in common, besides Summer Glau?
[Laughs] I don't know if there really need to be any commonalities, besides Summer Glau. She is a joy. She's such a talented creative unique being, and you know, the funny thing — I was sort of getting a Summer Glau vibe, like I hadn't talked to her for a while, and I sort of thought, "I need to check in with her and see what she's doing." It's the daddy mode in me. So I put a call in to her. And three days later, [The Cape creator] Tom Wheeler called me, and he said, "What are you doing?" I said, "Nothing." He said, "Well, I'm doing this pilot, why don't you come down on the set and see what's going on?" And lo and behold, there's Summer. So I thought it was very serendipitous that I should have gotten that calling and Wheeler calls me, and the whole thing comes together.
How was it coming and taking over after the pilot was already shot?
Well, I didn't come in and take in, I came in in a very similar way that I did on Sarah Connor Chronicles. Tom certainly has more television experience now than Josh [Friedman] had when we started on the Sarah Connor Chronicles. But he's never been in a position where he's had his own show or been expected to run his own show. And just by virtue of having been around a few more years than either of those two guys, I had a bit more experience and had things I could share with them. So on this show, I'm sort of working with Tom and creating a structure that the show can work [with].
So this is a superhero show that's hyper-aware of superhero conventions, because the Cape is an existing comic-book character before the show's protagonist decides to dress up as him. Right?
That's a little bit TBD I would say... we're not quite sure how that comic book is going to play out as the series goes forward. It's certainly an aspect of the world. And it's interesting that this guy has chosen a character from a comic book to sort of embody as a superhero. So I think it's going to be very interesting. When you have a guy who's sort of living out the exploits of a comic book character... there may be a certain rivalry, like who's better? Him or the real guy? And his son, in the pilot, is very into the comic books. There will be a certain amount of expectations on the son's part as to what the Cape should be doing. So I think he'll be critiquing the Cape's performance a little bit.
It's going to be a pretty light show in general, right?
Right. I would say the show will be grounded. Here's the trick — creating a reality for the world of the show, communicating that reality to the audience, and then telling your stories within the boundaries of that reality, so you don't violate it. And that's what we're going to try to do. But in our world, the stakes are real, the consequences are real, the stories have danger elements that are real. And yet there's a kind of a fanciful element to it that's fun. So we won't be doing ha-ha comedy, but there will be funny situations.
So there are going to be villains of the week?
Yeah. I think the idea is there'll be an over-arching story. It won't be as serialized as we started out with Sarah Connor. But there will be serialized aspects to the show. But each week, it'll either be someone in James Frain's world — his character is Peter Fleming, he's sort of the big baddie — it'll be someone dispatched by him, or him, or some other villain.
What do you say to people who feel like they've been burned by superhero shows in the past?
I say, "Sooner or later, one of them's going to work, and be just right." It'll be this one, hopefully.
Do you think this one has the right balance of respect for the mythology without getting too deep?
Yeah, definitely. Tom is a comic book geek, bigtime. All of us have had our own experiences with comic books and superheroes. On the panel I showed a picture of me in my own superhero outfit at age five — and I had my own collection of superhero comics at that time, which I can still remember my father throwing out. |
A couple of years ago I showed a lady and her young daughter around a newly refurbished rental house.
Me: “So you would like to rent this property, then?”
Lady viewer: “Yes, very much, it suits our needs perfectly”.
Me: “Would it just be the two of you moving in?”
Lady viewer: “No. There’s also my husband, who is working away at the moment, and my son, who is at school”.
Me: “Sounds ideal! It is a three-bedroom house after all, so the four of you would fit in very nicely, I’m sure”.
Lady viewer: “Oh, and of course there’s our dog”.
Me: “Dog? Really? Oh dear. I wish you’d mentioned you have a dog when you made this appointment to view. The owners of this property are strictly against pets, particularly dogs, I’m afraid. Oh, what a shame”.
Lady viewer: “What have they got against dogs?”
Me: “I think you’ll find a lot of landlords are wary about allowing pets, for all sorts of reasons. They might be worried about the additional wear and tear on the property, or the risk of not being able to re-let the house once the tenancy finishes because the house has a doggy smell. Or they might even be allergic to dogs themselves. Whatever their reason, these landlords have said no to dogs. Sorry”
Lady viewer: “Well they’re bl**dy mad in that case. Bonkers! My dog is SO well-behaved. Good as gold. It’s this one (points at her daughter) who scribbles all over the walls in crayon and felt tip pens, not the dog!”<

There are a variety of facilities that require certain of its visitors to be accompanied by another individual when leaving the facility. A good example of this type of facility is a daycare center, where the management of the day care center requires that a parent or other pre-approved adult picks up the child at the end of a day spent at the center. Other examples include certain schools, facilities for individuals with mental or physical disabilities, hospitals and other health care or medical facilities, senior centers, youth detention centers, etc. Some of these facilities may have implemented security processes designed to ensure that the individual arriving to pick up the dependent visitor to the facility is authorized to do so. However, even where the management of the facility is diligent in taking particular security precautions in releasing dependent visitors into the custody of other individuals, those precautions may still be circumvented by an unauthorized individual that lies to the management personnel, obtains necessary documentation through inappropriate means in order to pose as an authorized custodian, generates and presents false documentation, or otherwise employs tactics designed to subvert the security requirements put in place by the facility. There therefore remains a need for a security system that can be employed by such facilities that is able to positively determine that a particular individual is an authorized custodian for a dependent visitor prior to releasing the dependent visitor into such individual's custody. |
Mitt Romney turned attention to his foreign policy this week, with a largely substance-free and fact-challenged speech on Tuesday and a European tour that will eventually take him to Israel. While Romney gone to great lengths to avoid talking national security, it’s no secret that neither Romney nor his advisers appear capable of outlining a clear vision of a Romney administration’s foreign policy. What little specifics we do hear sound suspiciously like the Obama administration’s positions. So for those wondering what a Romney presidency might mean for U.S. troops and diplomats, there’s not much to go on.
But what’s troublesome about Romney on foreign policy is what’s cooking behind the scenes. Gen. Colin Powell recently complained that Romney’s foreign policy team is “quite far to the right.” Indeed, veterans of the Bush/Cheney administration “pepper” Romney’s foreign policy team and the so-called “Cheney-ites” are reportedly winning the presumptive GOP presidential nominee’s ear. Here’s an in depth look at some of the key advisers a President Romney will hear from on foreign policy and what we might come to expect in a Romney administration:
JOHN BOLTON
Before advising Romney, Amb. John Bolton served briefly as U.S. ambassador to the U.N. under a recess appointment — awkward from the start because of his lifelong disdain for anything multilateral. After leaving government and taking up a position at the American Enterprise Institute, he turned on the Bush administration for not being hawkish enough on Iran. It’s a note he’s been striking since as a Fox contributor, sometime presidential candidate, and frequent guest on right-wing conspiracy theorists’ radio shows. He cheers for negotiations with Iran to fail, a position that supports his “default setting” of wanting to bomb Iran for any old reason even though he has admitted it might not work. Ominously, Bolton even once suggested a nuclear attack against Iran. |
(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a self-piercing rivet. More particularly, the present invention relates to a self-piercing rivet that can penetrate and join more than two joining objects.
(b) Description of the Related Art
Automotive industries pay attention to environmental problems, and apply aluminum alloy and plastic materials to a vehicle body so as to reduce weight of the vehicle body and to improve fuel consumption being one of solutions that solves the environmental problems.
For these purpose, joining methods for assembling the vehicle body have been researched and developed instead of conventional spot welding.
Recently, a self-piercing rivet using a self-piercing rivet system is increasingly used.
According to a conventional riveting technique, joining objects such as steel sheets are joined by forming a head portion after a riveting hole is bored and a rivet is inserted into the riveting hole. However, the rivet is press-fitted into the joining objects by hydraulic pressure or pneumatic pressure without forming the riveting hole according to self-piercing rivet technique. At this time, the rivet is deformed plastically and joins the joining objects.
A self-piercing rivet is used for joining metal sheets according to the self-piercing rivet technique, and the self-piercing rivet includes a head and a partially hollow cylindrical shank.
For example, a shank of the self-piercing rivet penetrates an upper sheet by a punch of a setting tool. At this time, the shank is supported by a die and is deformed outwardly. In addition, since the shank is press-fitted to a lower sheet in a state that the head portion is supported by the upper sheet, the upper sheet and the lower sheet are joined.
Since the shank of the conventional self-piercing rivet is formed as an annular piercing edge, a penetrated portion of the upper sheet is completely cut off by the annular edge when the shank penetrates the upper sheet and is press-fitted to the lower sheet.
Since the penetrated portion of the upper sheet cut off by the shank cannot form mechanical interlock of the upper and lower sheets and remains as a dead metal, joining strength of the upper and lower sheets may be deteriorated.
In addition, since the dead metal cannot join the upper and lower sheets with sufficient strength, the upper sheet rotates relatively with respect to the lower sheet.
Accordingly, various techniques for preventing rotation of the upper sheet are applied according to conventional arts. For example, a plurality of rivets is used for preventing the rotation of the upper sheet.
If the plurality of rivets is used, processes may be complicated, productivity may be deteriorated, and product cost may be increased due to increase of processes and components.
Since the shank of the rivet is formed as the annular piercing edge, the shank penetrates the upper sheet with an annular shape, and thereby increases joining load according to conventional arts.
The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art. |
Poll evil
Poll evil is a traditional term for a painful condition in a horse or other equid, that starts as an inflamed bursa at the anterior end of the neck between vertebrae and the nuchal ligament, and swells until it presents as an acute swelling at the poll, on the top of the back of the animal's head. The swelling can increase until it ruptures and drains. It can be caused by infection from Actinomyces bovis or Brucella abortus organisms, but may also occur due to parasite infestation, skin trauma, or badly fitting horse tack. Because of modern efforts to reduce the incidence of brucellosis in livestock, horses are less exposed to the Brucella abortus organism, and hence most modern cases of poll evil arise from trauma linked to a horse striking its head against poorly designed or low-clearance structures, or to improper use of equipment, particularly leaving a halter on the horse around the clock.
The term has been in use since at least the 1750s. Before modern antibiotics were developed, the condition was very difficult to treat. In the 18th century, it was treated with remedies such as vinegar, wine, elder flower and even turpentine. Today, cases caught early can be cleaned with peroxide, ice packs and diluted dimethyl sulfoxide solution, with antibiotics used to prevent or slow infection. If the infection has set in and there is a discharge, antibiotic treatment along with hot packs and surgery under local anesthesia to remove infected and dead tissue is usually required.
Fistulous withers is a similar condition but on the animal's withers.

Q:
Export Survey Results to Excel option not in Action Menu
I have a survey and all the needed results. I need to export the results to excel, though in the process of setting up the survey I changed or removed the Overview.aspx page/view. Now when I add a webpart like the overview.aspx, everything is the same except when I go to the Action button “Export to Excel” is not an option. How do I get that option back? If I can’t get that option on a webpart back how can I get the results of the survey exported to excel?
A:
I had a similar problem where the export option was not visible in the action menu. As workaround, I found that if I accessed the survey from Site Settings ==> View All Site Content ==> My Survey then the export button is available.
A:
None of the above should be necessary. The "Action" options are dependent on the view used. Open the "Overview" view, click "Actions" and the export option magically appears.
There's no way anyone would know this so this is a good example of the bad design / UX that plagues Sharepoint.

Protein/Protein, DNA/DNA and DNA/Protein based vaccination strategies using truncated Omp2b against Brucella infection in BALB/c Mice.
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of the truncated form of outer membrane protein 2b (TOmp2b) from Brucella abortus in BALB/c mice. Three immunization regimens Protein/Protein, DNA/DNA and DNA/Protein were used. Immunization of mice with all vaccine strategies elicited a strong specific IgG responses (IgG2a titers over IgG1) and provided T helper1 (Th1) oriented immune responses. Furthermore, Protein/Protein (Pro/Pro-) and DNA/Pro- vaccinated groups conferred protection levels against B. abortus challenge not significantly different from those induced by B. abortus RB51 vaccine stain. In conclusion, TOmp2b is potential to stimulate specific immune responses and to confer cross protection against B. melitensis and B. abortus infection. Therefore, TOmp2b could be introduced as a new subunit vaccine candidate against Brucella infection. |

Vim Configuration for expl3
I've started with programming in expl3 and vim doesn't realise that underscores are now part of LaTeX identifiers.
I'd be much obliged if somebody could explain how to best configure vim so it has the "usual" word boundaries, including underscores, and also does syntax highlighting of words properly.
I know it should be possible to find this information in the vim documentation, but I prefer a quick-and-dirty solution.
A:
Quick and dirty solution
:syn match texStatement "\\[a-zA-Z_:]\+"
or add @

It isn't enough, but looks much better.
But better
Modify $VIM/syntax/tex.vim, search b:tex_stylish, and modify all expressions about it.

Q:
Why can I set [enumerability and] writability of unconfigurable property descriptors?
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/defineProperty states:
configurable:
True if and only if the type of this property descriptor may be changed and if the property may be deleted from the corresponding object. Defaults to false.
So, I have a
var x = Object.defineProperty({}, "a", {
value:true,
writable:true,
enumerable:true,
configurable:false
});
Now I can play with x.a = false, for(i in x) etc. But even though the descriptor is should be unconfigurable, I can do
Object.defineProperty(x, "a", {writable:true}); // others defaulting to false
Object.defineProperty(x, "a", {}); // everything to false
Object.freeze(x); // does the same to the descriptors
The other way round, setting them to true again, or trying to define an accessor descriptor, raises errors now. To be exact: Object.defineProperty: invalid modification of non-configurable property.
Why can I "downgrade" descriptors though they say they were non-configurable?
A:
First, even when configurable is false, writable can be changed from true to false. This is the only attribute change allowed when configurable is false. This transition was allowed because some built-in properties including (most notably) the length property of arrays (including Array.prototype) are specified to be writable: true, configurable: false. This is a legacy of previous ECMAScript editions. If configurable: false prevented changing writable from true to false then it would be impossible to freeze arrays.
Object.defineProperty doesn't work quite like you're assuming. In particular, how it processes the property descriptor works differently depending upon whether or not the property already exists. If a property does not exist, the descriptor is supposed to provide a definition of all attributes so any missing attributes in the descriptor are assigned default values before the descriptor is used to create the property. However, for an already existing property the descriptor is taken as a set of delta changes from the current attribute settings of the property. Attributes that are not listed in the descriptor are not changed. Also, a attribute that has the same value in the delta descriptor as the current property attribute value is also consider no change. So the following are all legal:
Object.defineProperty(x, "a", {writable:false}); // can always change writable to false.
//others attributes, not changed
Object.defineProperty(x, "a", {}); // no attributes, so nothing changes
Object.freeze(x); // same as Object.defineProperty(x, "a", {writable:false});
Object.defineProperty(x, "a", {enumerable:true, configurable: false}); //no change,

In general, blowers are used in air cleaners, fans, and the like, and used industrially in air conditioner systems, various types of air intake and exhaust systems, and the like. Blowers can be classified as axial flow blowers, centrifugal blowers, or mixed flow blowers, depending on the characteristics of flow passing through the impellers thereof.
Among the above-mentioned blowers, centrifugal blowers allow the flow of air to occur, such that intake flow is generated in a direction of an axis of rotation thereof and exhaust flow is generated in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation, and is applied to common household air cleaners.
The centrifugal blower has a single-side intake method, in which intake flow is generated from one side of the axis of rotation, and a dual-side intake method, in which intake flow is generated from both sides of the axis of rotation.
Generally, such a centrifugal blower includes a centrifugal fan having a plurality of wings disposed in a circumferential direction thereof, and a scroll casing configured to surround the centrifugal fan while having an outlet guiding, to one side of the scroll casing, air discharged in the circumferential direction of the centrifugal fan.
However, a centrifugal blower, according to the related art, has a problem in that noise by air friction is generated and air volume is reduced, due to the imbalance of flow discharged from the outlet of the scroll casing.
In particular, the end of the outlet of the scroll casing is expanded, allowing for an increase in an opening area thereof, in order to diffuse air, and due to an expansion effect, the imbalance of exhaust flow is significantly generated. |

Q:
Inner Product Notation Question
While doing homework for a professor with notation completely different from my last semester professor's notation, I've become stuck trying to interpret what this means:
$$
v \rightarrow \langle-,v\rangle_V
$$
where $\langle,\rangle_V$ is an inner product on a finite-dimensional real vector space, $V$. The entire question is to show that the above identifies $V$ with $V^*$.
Any help is appreciated!
A:
This denotes a map $T:V\to V^*$, mapping $v\in V$ to $f_v\in V^*$, where $f_v:V\to \mathbb{R}$ is defined by
$$f_v(x)=\langle x,v\rangle_V $$
for $x\in V$. The question is then to show that $T$ is an isomorphism.

Q:
How can I get the joblist in jenkins after I execute the jobdsl
How can I get the job list in jenkins after I execute the jobdsl ?
Jenkin JobDSL is nice to manage the jenkins jobs. When you execute the jobDSL, jenkins can help to generate the jobs are expected. Even more, if the job is created, you can choose to skip or overwrite.
Now I want to trigger the build directly after it is new generated.
See sample console output from jenkins build.
Processing DSL script demoJob.groovy
Added items:
GeneratedJob{name='simpliest-job-ever'}
Existing items:
GeneratedJob{name=’existing-job'}
How can I get the jobname simpliest-job-ever in jenkins? And in this case, I don't want to build existing-job
Scan the console log could be choice, but it is not elegant enough.
A:
You can trigger a build from the DSL script using the queue method (docs).
job('simpliest-job-ever') {
// ...
}
queue('simpliest-job-ever')

(Photo: Josh Kenzer / Flickr)Arguments for privatization too often hide its true costs.
One hundred years ago, New York state senator George Washington Plunkitt, a member of the Tammany Hall gang, became wealthy through what he called “honest graft” – or, what honest people would call plundering the public purse. Eventually, when the facts came out, the public was enraged and insisted on good government laws to put an end to the Plunkittocracy.
Today, state and federal “sunshine” laws give the public important anticorruption protection, such as open meetings acts, freedom of information acts and civil service regulations that require government decisions to hire or fire be based on facts and merit – not “honest” graft.
This December, Massachusetts can celebrate the 20th anniversary of another important sunshine law – the Pacheco-Menard Law. This law protects the state treasury and infrastructure – and the people of Massachusetts – from looting. But critics of the law treat the decision about whether public services or infrastructure should be private or public as if it were a choice of paper or plastic, or a team sport where you cheer on Team Privatization.
The Pacheco-Menard law is based on facts that will ensure that the “citizens of the commonwealth receive high quality public services at low cost, with due regard for the taxpayers of the commonwealth and the needs of public and private workers.” It creates an open process with fair standards to guide decision-making and ensure that privatization does not cost more. It stops destructive practices by contractors, such as lowering pay and benefits or moving jobs to other states or countries. While it may look as if money has been saved, the reality is that the state loses tax revenue, while the displaced workers draw unemployment and other benefits. The result is less money in the state treasury, no savings and greater costs.
The costs to the public of unemployment and retirement benefits and the monitoring and administering of contract performance add up, but they are often not included in decisions to privatize. The Pacheco law forbids hiding these costs. Before a bid can be accepted, a comprehensive written analysis of the contract cost must be prepared, and the bid must include “the costs of transition from public to private operation.” Other public protections include preventing contractors from making lowball bids based on cutting employee wages and benefits and requiring contractors to submit quarterly payroll records to show whether the contractor has underpaid its workers.
Private and Public Sector Accountability
Hard lessons led to some things being provided by the public sector, while others are provided by the private sector. These decisions come down to accountability, but different types of accountability are needed for the private and public sectors.
Private sector accountability is based on robust market competition that leads to better goods and services at lower cost. Services and infrastructure now provided by state and local government are the result of hard experience with poor service and graft. There is no reason to believe that accountability and quality problems will not recur if public services are privatized.
One privatization advocate claims that “Private firms have access to two federal subsidies that are not available to public agencies: tax deductions for accelerated depreciation on capital equipment and interest payments on borrowed funds” and that “under certain circumstances, the combined effect of these can enable a firm to deliver better services at a lower cost than a public agency can.”
But, a tax deduction to the private sector is a subsidy that shifts costs to the public and makes less money available for public needs. Moreover, if private contractors need a government handout to do the same job that the public sector does without a tax deduction, that is an admission that the private sector costs more.
It is possible to dream up many theories about why the private sector might do a better job than the public sector. But in the real world, facts are facts, and a law that promotes good decision-making is definitely in the public interest. |
Q:
Do MLB players wear new uniforms every game?
Do MLB players wear new uniforms every game? Or only when pants or top becomes too dirty or torn. The uniforms always look spotless so I assumed they were new.
A:
The answer is basically No, though there is no official statement of teams many articles I have read so far points out teams does not provide new jerseys to the players for every game. Uniforms are washed, mended and pressed to look as new every game.
From a article of CNN:
Mitch Poole, clubhouse manager for the Los Angeles Dodgers "uniforms used to be scrubbed until the fabric resembled fur. But now they use an industrial stain remover specifically made for Major League called Slide Out".
Factory on Columbus Avenue in New Rochelle (NY), the Raleigh Athletic Equipment Company is where uniforms of the New York Yankees are washed, mended and pressed.
An article on Erica Ford, the official seamstress for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim baseball team will further helps in clarifying things.

[Edema in nervous tissue studied on model of hemorrhagic stroke in vitro].
The development of edema in the survival olfactory cortex slices under the long-term action of autoblood has been studied by monitoring the bioelectric activity of nervous cells. The level of disorder in electrogenesis of cells was revealed by comparing the focal potentials with their control values; the degree of the nervous tissue swelling in various periods of autoblood action was determined by weighing. In the model of hemorrhagic stroke, the dependence of edema growth on the level of activity of ionotropic glutamate receptors has been determined using the pharmacological blockade technique. |
Use of percutaneous endoscopy to place syringopleural or cystoperitoneal cerebrospinal fluid shunts: technical note.
The authors describe a technique for percutaneous endoscopic shunt placement to treat clinically symptomatic spinal cysts. Seven patients underwent the procedure--five with syringomyelia, one with a symptomatic perineurial cyst, and one with a large arachnoid cyst. In all patients the shunt was successfully placed, and clinical improvement occurred in six. In four patients the entire procedure was performed endoscopically, whereas in three conversion to an open surgical exposure was required for safe access of a syrinx cavity. Overall, however, the pleural or peritoneal catheter was successfully placed endoscopically in all seven patients. There were two cases of postoperative positional headaches of which one required valve revision. In one case the catheter migrated and required repositioning. Percutaneous endoscopic shunt placement appears feasible in appropriately selected patients. |
NavG is a part of the AUV Sentry vehicle tracking console that allows the Operations team, ship, and science users to monitor the progress of the vehicle's progress while underway. This user interface is, in general, set up in the Sentry Operations watchstanding station as well as at ship's bridge so that the team and the ship can closely communicate to optimize Sentry navigation by monitoring the same real-time information. Scientists could preview NavG on one of the lab monitors upon request to track the mission progress in part of their strategizing the next science activities.

For this potential natural product, a degradative procedure for the unambiguous stereoanalysis of the stereogenic centers has been elaborated. It shows enhanced anti-plasmodial activity in vitro towards Plasmodium falciparum erythrocytic forms, as compared to its less methylated precursors. |
The instant invention relates to retail display apparatus and more particularly to a display assembly for effectively and attractively displaying items, such as jewelry items, in a retail display.
Various types of apparatus have been heretofore available for supporting jewelry items, such as earrings and pins, in retail displays. For example, various types of display panels which have been adapted for supporting jewelry display cards thereon have been heretofore available. Free standing display stands which have included one or more substantially horizontal bars for receiving and supporting jewelry display cards have also been heretofore available. However, heretofore the prior art relating to jewelry display apparatus has generally failed to provide an effective and compact display assembly which can be easily and economically manufactured and nevertheless adapted to meet the needs of various different retailers.
The instant invention provides an effective display assembly which can be economically manufactured and readily adapted to meet the needs of different retailers. More specifically, the display assembly of the instant invention is preferably adapted for use in displaying jewelry items, such as earrings or pins and it comprises a first tray member, first support means for receiving and supporting an article for display on the first tray member, a second tray member, second support means for receiving and supporting an article for display on the second tray member, and a support post received on the first tray member and operative for supporting the second tray member in upwardly spaced relation to the first tray member. The first and second tray members each include a central tubular portion and each of the tubular portions is formed so that the inner side thereof defines an upwardly opening recess having a lower portion of reduced dimension, an upper portion of enlarged dimension and an inner shoulder therebetween. Each of the tubular portions is further formed so that the outer side thereof defines a downwardly projecting hub having a lower portion of reduced dimension, an upper portion of enlarged dimension and an outer shoulder therebetween. The support post is preferably of tubular configuration and it includes opposite first and second end portions, with the first end portion being snugly received in the upper portion of the recess in the first tray member so that it abuts the inner shoulder therein. The second end portion of the support post is snugly received on the lower portion of the hub of the second tray member so that it abuts the outer shoulder thereon for supporting the second tray member in upwardly spaced relation to the first tray member. The first and second tray members are preferably of substantially identical configuration and the support means on the first and second tray members are preferably formed as upstanding peripheral rims thereon. Further, each of the tray members preferably comprises a body portion which extends downwardly and outwardly around the tubular portion thereof and each of the tray members is preferably integrally formed from a substantially rigid plastic sheet material. The support post and the tubular portions of the tray members are preferably of substantially cylindrical tubular configuration and the display assembly preferably further comprises rotatable turntable means for rotatably supporting the jewelry display assembly on a supporting surface.
It has been found that the display assembly of the instant invention can be effectively utilized for a wide variety of display applications. In this regard, a plurality of the tray members can be effectively assembled with a plurality of support posts to provide a multi-tiered display assembly which is relatively compact and nevertheless adapted for supporting a relatively large number of items, such as jewelry items mounted on display cards. Further, by selecting the correct number of tray members and support posts, the display assembly can be effectively adapted to meet the needs of various different retailers. Still further, when the first tray member is supported on a rotatable turntable the entire display assembly can b rotatably supported on a supporting surface. Still further, because of the relatively simple structures of the tray members and the support posts, the display assembly can be manufactured relatively economically.
Accordingly, it is a primary object of the instant invention to provide an effective display assembly which can be adapted to meet the needs of various different retailers.
Another object of the instant invention is to provide a display assembly which can be easily assembled at point of use and which can be effectively utilized for displaying items, such as jewelry items mounted on display cards.
An even further object of the instant invention is to provide an effective display assembly which can be economically manufactured.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention shall become apparent as the description thereof proceeds when considered in connection with the accompanying illustrative drawings. |
