Q:
Is there a script to batch erase the equivalent of a shp to multiple other shps? (in ArcGIS)
I'm looking for a way to be able to frequently update a bunch of shapefiles (different land use and other areas). I would like to erase from them the lakes and rivers which are in another shape (hydro.shp).
I could just do them on by one but it doesn't sound really time effective considering that the hydro.shp is often modified. To add to the problem, I have a basic license, so I can't use the erase tool...
So, how to batch erase without the erase tool?
A:
Here is an updated answer based on a better understanding of your request. This code performs a union between the eraser and the erasee shapefiles and then selects the overlapping features and deletes them .It then deletes the unnecessary fields to maintain just the original fields from the original shapefiles. I clip the hydro layer first just to remove any extraneous features to avoid errors. In the future you could convert this to an arcgis tool so you can feed in the shapefiles as parameters as opposed to hardcoding the paths to the shapefiles. This worked on the sample dataset I had. Let meknow if it works for you.
import arcpy
import os
#delete any data tha might be stored in memory
arcpy.Delete_management("in_memory")
#set workspace to where all your shapefiles are
arcpy.env.workspace="c:/data"
#define where the hydro shapefile is located, ideally in a different folder than the others
hydroshp="c:/mydata/hydro.shp"
fcs=arcpy.ListFeatureClasses()
for fc in fcs:
#create an empty list to be populated with the original shapefile's field names
fieldnames=[]
#List all fields in the shapefile and populate the fieldnames list with their names
fields=arcpy.ListFields(fc)
for field in fields:
fieldnames.append(field.name)
#define layer name for each shapefile
fclayer=fc.rstrip(".shp")
#create output files for the clip and the union layers
fcClip=os.path.join("in_memory",fclayer+"clip")
fcUnion=fclayer+"union.shp"#os.path.join("in_memory",fclayer+"union")
#clip the shapefile using the hydro layer
arcpy.Clip_analysis(fc,hydroshp,fcClip)
#create a union of the clipped hydro and the shapefile
arcpy.Union_analysis([fc,fcClip],fcUnion,"ALL")
#delete any unnecessary fields from your union shapefile
unionfields=arcpy.ListFields(fcUnion)
for ufield in unionfields:
if ufield.name not in fieldnames:
arcpy.DeleteField_management(fcUnion,ufield.name)
#Create layer file so you can perform a selection on it
arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(fcUnion,fclayer)
arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management(fclayer,"WITHIN",fcClip)
#Check if there are any selected features so you don't accidentally delete all the features.
desc=arcpy.Describe(fclayer)
if desc.FIDSet != "":
arcpy.DeleteFeatures_management(fclayer)
print "done!!"

Labour Member of Parliament Jess Phillips has been called a “traitor” after tweeting that she is not worried about British loss of sovereignty to the European Union (EU). She has refused to apologise for the remark, instead insisting that Britain still retains power despite ceding sovereignty to a foreign bloc.
The tweet came during an exchange on Britain’s membership of the European Union prompted by a tweet by Ms Phillips, in which she claimed to be planning to vote to remain in the EU because her brother lives in France.
My twin nephews coming from France today.The life my brother has made there is a big reason why I want to remain pic.twitter.com/Fu78Kb1qxp
Last September Ms Phillips was named by Breitbart London as the 94th most influential left winger. Iain Dale, who compiled the list remarked: “Phillips is going to be one of the characters of the new Parliament.” His prediction has certainly proved accurate as the Birmingham Yardley MP has scarcely been out of the headlines ever since.
In November she was criticised for rudely mocking a suggestion by a male colleague that Parliament set aside some time to debate issues which affect men, such as the high rate of suicide among young men in particular.
Ms Phillips “interrupted proceedings by loudly busting into laughter, covering her face with her hands,” Breitbart London reported at the time. Her colleague responded: “I’m not entirely sure why it’s so humorous.”
She then claimed to be the “victim” of a “violent hate campaign” when the public took to Twitter to criticise her stance.
She hit headlines again in January thanks to an appearance on Question Time in which she dismissed the Cologne New Year sex attacks as being “very similar” to an average night in central Birmingham “where women are baited and heckled.”
In fact, more complaints of sexual abuse, including gang rape, were lodged during the one single night in Cologne than had been recorded in Birmingham for the whole of the year.
Her comments prompted outraged constituents to call for her resignation.
And on Saturday she again inspired anger when she accused the Prime Minister David Cameron of “colluding with child abusers” by blocking plans by cabinet ministers to introduce compulsory sex education even when it goes against the wishes of parents.
She later told the Independent on Sunday that she did not regret the the comment, saying: “This is benign neglect rather than malign neglect. I don’t think David Cameron wants children to be abused, but it is the same result. It’s neglect and collusion whether or not he means to do it.” |
Well, I just watched Friday's episode....it wasn't awful like other episodes have been, but it wasn't spectacular.
If people are this happy over a lack of SFX, the show is in pretty sad shape. I mean, it shouldn't matter if there are effects or not-- if the show is good, the show is good.
The only part I really enjoyed was the DiMeras. I liked the ending with Stefano and I liked Lexie's part in the episode, but that about does it.
Also, inregards to the next time preview, I really hope that they keep the occasional quirk that I really enjoy-- if something huge happens in the next time preview, I love how we hear a SCREECH right as the last bolt of light flies up the screen. |
Q:
Clearcase command to check the existence of an element in a VOB
What would be the command to check the existence of an element (say named "XYZ") in a Clearcase VOB ?
A:
You can start with cleartool describe:
clertool describe yourView/yourVob/yourFile
But that implies that you have a view first.
I would recommend a dynamic view, as it is easier/quicker to set up and use (no update like in a snapshot view).

Installation of software updates on a computing device can oftentimes be problematic due to the bandwidth available to transmit the software update to the computing device, and the computing power of the computing device itself. Generally, when software updates are installed on computing devices, the older version of the software is first uninstalled. In other words the old version of the software is completely deleted from the computing device, prior to the new version of the software being installed.
For many computing devices, including mobile and/or wireless computing devices, this situation can be problematic due to the enormous amount of data which may then have to be transmitted to, and processed by the computing device. Indeed, in many instances, there may be a limited amount of bandwidth available for transmitting the new version of the software to the computing device. For example, in wireless communication devices, the wireless transmission of data to implement a software update may involve sending hundreds of megabytes of data over a wireless network. However many wireless networks have limited data transmission rates and the transfer of the data can be a time-consuming process. Furthermore, under some business models, the user of the wireless communication device may be charged on a per volume rate for receipt of data, for example a certain fee per megabyte of data, and the receipt of the software update can prove to be expensive.
Even in scenarios where the new software is transmitted over a non-wireless network, the bandwidth of the non-wireless network may still be limited. For example, if a computing device is receiving a software update over the PSTN via a modem, the download of the software update may take hours. This includes scenarios where a mobile computing device is receiving a software update during a synchronization process via another computing device, such as a personal computer, which is receiving the software update from a limited bandwidth network.
In addition, the computing power of a mobile computing device may be limited, and processing the uninstallation of the old software, and the installation of the new software may prove to be a time consuming process.
Furthermore, in some instances, the new software may not be compatible with the current state of the computing device. In these instances, the installation of the update may result in the computing device becoming non-functional. |
Q:
Delegates in python
I've implemented this short example to try to demonstrate a simple delegation pattern. My question is. Does this look like I've understood delegation right?
class Handler:
def __init__(self, parent = None):
self.parent = parent
def Handle(self, event):
handler = 'Handle_' +event
if hasattr(self, handler):
func = getattr(self, handler)
func()
elif self.parent:
self.parent.Handle(event)
class Geo():
def __init__(self, h):
self.handler = h
def Handle(self, event):
func = getattr(self.handler, 'Handle')
func(event)
class Steve():
def __init__(self, h):
self.handler = h
def Handle(self, event):
func = getattr(self.handler, 'Handle')
func(event)
class Andy():
def Handle(self, event):
print 'Andy is handling %s' %(event)
if __name__ == '__main__':
a = Andy()
s = Steve(a)
g = Geo(s)
g.Handle('lab on fire')
A:
One Python tip: you don't need to say:
func = getattr(self.handler, 'Handle')
func(event)
just say:
self.handler.Handle(event)
I'm not sure what you are doing with your Handler class, it isn't used in your example.
And in Python, methods with upper-case names are very very unusual, usually a result of porting some existing API with names like that.
A:
That's the basic concept, yes - passing on some incoming request to another object to take care of.

Price elasticity of demand and/or the responsiveness of the public's demand for mental health services as a function of their net price are estimated after insurance benefits are taken into account. By using demand elasticity estimates, critical market characteristics can be identified and explained and market behavior can be predicted. There is a need by lawmakers, insurance companies, unions and professional associations involved in the delivery of health care for having good estimates of mental health service price elasticities as a guide for public policy on health insurance, and to have the information for a comparison of elasticities for mental health services and other health services. The study uses standard econometric methods (arc and point procedures) to estimate elasticities. These methods are applied as secondary analytic techniques to existing data from such sources as insurance company records of benefits and services demanded and standard surveys of hospital and other medical costs. Particular attention is paid to moderating variables, such as sociceconomic indicators, demographics, and locational differences. |
Q:
HtmlAgilityPack - How to get the tag by Id?
I have a task to do. I need to retrieve the a tag or href of a specific id (the id is based from the user input).
Example I have a html like this
<manifest>
<item href="Text/Cover.xhtml" id="Cov" media-type="application/xhtml+xml" />
<item href="Text/Back.xhtml" id="Back" media-type="application/xhtml+xml" />
</manifest>
I already have this code. Please, help me. Thank you
HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument document2 = new
HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
document2.Load(@"C:\try.html");
HtmlNode[] nodes = document2.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//manifest").ToArray();
foreach (HtmlNode item in nodes)
{
Console.WriteLine(item.InnerHtml);
}
A:
If I understand correctly then:
HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument document2 = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
document2.Load(@"C:\try.html");
string tag = document2.GetElementbyId("yourid").Name;
string href = document2.GetElementbyId("yourid").GetAttributeValue("href", "");
A:
You can use the following XPath to find item element by its id attribute value :
var id = "Back";
var query = $"//manifest/item[@id='{id}']";
HtmlNode node = document2.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode(query);
string href = node.GetAttributeValue("href", "");

In the search for novel treatments for psychiatric disorders, many compounds that have shown promising pharmacological properties in disease models have failed to induce benefit in patients. There is good reason to believe that the preclinical approaches routinely used in drug discovery often provide an overly optimistic picture of clinical potential. Here we discuss some of the factors that we believe lead to erroneous decision-making, including: false interpretations of the behavioural significance of drug effects in the model species; fundamental flaws in aspects of experimental design and analysis; and misconceptions about the criteria that need to be applied before a model can be said to be validated. Only by focusing on well-constructed biological hypotheses of drug action in conjunction with reliable neurochemical, electrophysiological and behavioural assays that can be demonstrated to engage clinically relevant brain circuits will the chances of clinical success be improved. As psychiatric disorders come to be viewed less descriptively and more mechanistically as developmental disorders in brain circuits, incorporating biomarkers – measured biological variables that can indicate a normal or abnormal biological etiological process – will become the essential key to improving model development and validation, and target assessment and refinement. |

Lose Weight And Keep It Off For Good With Proof
Lose Weight And Keep It Off For Good With Proof
You can become discouraged and give up when trying to lose weight. While you may be very dedicated in the beginning, sometimes people start to get frustrated after a short period of time. You may wonder how other people reach their weight loss goals. What is their secret to success?
Setting clearly defined goals is one of the most important steps in weight loss. Do you simply yearn to fit into your old clothes, or do you actually want to make a huge reduction in your weight? Are you interested in feeling more fit and improving your overall health? Setting goals gives you a solid point in the future to look forward to. Without set goals, you will be less likely to stay with your weight loss program.
Each day there are things you can do to keep track of your weight loss. You can begin by recording how much weight you lose or gain on a weekly basis. A food diary helps you to keep track of what you have eaten throughout the day, and having a written record helps you see what you have been doing right and what you can change throughout your diet.
If you are hungry, it is easy to make a bad decision. At that point the only thing you care about is eating quickly, even if it is junk food. You should always keep snacks available and schedule time to eat your meals. You could take a meal with you so you aren’t having to get take-out to satisfy your hunger. Using this method you will save money on food and cut down on the calories you consume.
To be successful in any weight loss plan you must incorporate both a healthy diet and a good exercise routine. For steady weight loss, try a combination of diet and exercise. You can also have fun by doing activities that involve exercise. If you are not motivated, get a work out buddy. Have a family bike riding or hiking trip. Before you know it, you will have put in a good workout without ever having to call it exercise!
The first and most important step is to get rid of all the unhealthy food from your home and vow that it’s not allowed back in. Remember, you will not be able to eat food which isn’t present, so keeping your kitchen cupboards stocked with only healthy foods can help you to keep your body fit and lean. If you make it difficult to grab and eat unhealthy, fat-filled junk food, you will soon find yourself resisting the urge to consume it.
Enlist the support of your friends during your weight loss journey. Although no one else can lose weight for you, the support from others will be invaluable when you are tempted to just give up. Your friends are there to help you stay motivated. |
Impaired Bioenergetics in Clinical Medicine: A Target to Tackle.
Mitochondrial energy deficit is considered a key element of different clinical pathologies - from inherited disorders of energy metabolism to drug-induced mitochondrial toxicity, to cardiometabolic and neurodegenerative diseases. However, clinical manifestations of impaired bioenergetics are not easy to recognize, with patient-reported features usually include non-pathognomonic fatigue and weakness, or exercise intolerance, while specific lab tests are missing. Although it is not clear whether poor energetics is a primary deficit or a secondary consequence of specific disorders, improving mitochondrial viability remains a challenging task in both experimental and clinical medicine. In this review, biochemical and clinical evidence of energy deficits were reviewed, along with possible therapeutic options to tackle energy failure and restore bioenergetics. |
A pilot study of direct delivery of hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin to the lung by the nasal route in a mouse model of Niemann-Pick C1 disease: motor performance is unaltered and lung disease is worsened.
We have tested the efficacy of hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPBCD) delivered by the nasal route in the mouse model of juvenile Niemann-Pick C1 disease (NPC1), as pulmonary disease has not responded to systemic therapy with this drug. Since mice have no gag reflex, coating of the nasal cavity, with possible access to the brain, would be followed by delivery of HPBCD to the lung. While foamy macrophages, containing stored cholesterol, were found in the Npc1 nmf164 homozygous mice, a marked inflammatory response was found with inhaled HPBCD, both in mutant and wild-type animals. Slight inflammation also occasionally occurred with saline inhalation. There was no difference between the saline-treated, HPBCD-treated, and untreated Npc1 nmf164 homozygous mice for weight, balance beam performance, or coat hanger performance. Interestingly, there was a trend to longer survival in the HPBCD-treated Npc1 nmf164 homozygous mice, which, when combined with the survival times of the saline-treated survivals (each of which was not different), became significant. |

As the integration density of semiconductor devices has increased, the semiconductor devices are becoming gradually finer. The fine semiconductor devices are formed by repeatedly depositing and patterning material layers. In general, the patterning process comprises a photolithographic process and an etching process, which are sequentially performed. The etching process uses a photoresist pattern, formed during the photolithographic process, as an etch mask. Here, to enhance the integration density of a semiconductor device, the photoresist pattern should be finely formed and overlay accuracy should be improved. In particular, a junction contact hole for electrically connecting source/drains of semiconductor devices has an influence on the size of a unit cell. Thus, to achieve the high integration of semiconductor devices, it is imperative to increase the overlay accuracy during the step of patterning the junction contact hole.
In general, forming the junction contact hole comprises forming a device isolation layer for defining an active region on a semiconductor substrate, and forming a gate pattern on the active region to cross over the device isolation layer. Next, an interlayer dielectric (ILD) is formed to cover the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate including the gate pattern. The ILD is patterned to form a junction contact hole exposing the active region on a side of the gate pattern. As described above, the patterning process for forming the junction contact hole comprises forming a photoresist pattern and using the photoresist pattern as an etching mask. Here, the photoresist pattern should be aligned to the active region and the gate pattern with high overlay accuracy. If the junction contact hole deviates from a predetermined position while the junction contact hole is formed, the gate pattern or the device isolation layer may suffer from etching damages.
The etching damages can be prevented using techniques of sufficiently spacing the junction contact hole from the gate pattern or the device isolation layer. However, as the techniques lead the unit cell to occupy even an unnecessary area, they are not preferable in respect of the high integration of semiconductors. That is, to obtain the high integration necessary for the miniaturization of material patterns, the photolithographic process should have improved overlay accuracy as much as possible. However, although misalignment caused during the photolithographic process can be minimized, it cannot be completely solved with the conventional methods. |

Privacy, reverie, and the analyst's ethical imagination.
The author illustrates varying ways of using and thinking about forms of analytic reverie and the analyst's privacy. He discusses a few different registers from which the analyst can illuminate points of transference-countertransference enactment. The modality by which the analyst communicates these formulations of unconsciously held object relations and defenses varies and includes verbal interpretation through symbolic speech, interpretive action (Ogden 1994a), and, at times, interpretations that involve a construction of the analyst's subjectivity put forward to enhance the patient's understanding of enactments of the transference-countertransference. The author develops a concept, the analyst's ethical imagination, defined as the ways in which we consider and anticipate the implications of our interpretations. |
Listening to young people with special needs: the influence of group activities.
The article reports on the experiences of group activities within an area of Yorkshire that helped young people with special needs to express their views and opinions. Significant issues were raised by the ethics of undertaking work with young people and these are reviewed. The young people involved in the research reported that their participation in the groups developed their self-confidence and advocacy skills. This led them to be more confident in expressing their needs at school and in the community. To establish wider generalizability for the study findings, the Yorkshire group activities were compared with another similar group in London where further data were collected from the young people involved. In facilitating group activities, willing staff were an important addition to the group because their presence provided and encouraged positive reactions to the distinctive achievements of the young people themselves. In both groups, members were committed to participation in project-based activities that raised their self-esteem and helped establish a sense of their own identity and purpose. |
There have previously been proposed various types of toy cars, such as a spring-drive type, a battery-drive type, a wireless-control type and others, for winning popularity with younger children. However, the majority of such conventional toy cars may slip transversely upon sudden change of a running direction, and in a worse case may lose its balance and turn over. In order to eliminate such disadvantages, an independent-suspension system has been utilized for maintaining the weight balance, which system results in complicated structure and a high cost.
As a result of diligent efforts to design a toy car which is simple in construction and may prevent transverse slippage upon sudden change of the running direction, it has now been found out that an improved design of the toy car comprising a pair of front wheels and a plurality of rear wheels mounted to a car body, in which said plurality of rear wheels comprise a main wheel arranged substantially at the center of a car width and a pair of follower wheels arranged on either sides of the main wheel, said pair of follower wheels each being pivoted to one end of a supporting arm while the other end of the supporting arm being pivoted to an eccentric position in relation to an axle of the main wheel, may run on three wheels, namely the front wheels, the rear main wheel and either one of the follower wheels upon the sudden change of the running direction. |
Liver dysfunction elicited by gut ischemia-reperfusion.
Gut ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) has been implicated as a prime mechanism in the pathogenesis of multiple organ failure and in initiating remote organ failure. Although it has long been known that gut I/R elicits liver dysfunction, only recently has the kinetics of leukocyte accumulation in the hepatic microcirculation and mechanisms of the liver injury after gut I/R been investigated. These studies reveal that the magnitude of gut I/R-induced liver injury depends on the duration of ischemic period and animal species. Gut I/R-induced accumulation of leukocytes, both neutrophils and lymphocytes, in the liver results in an oxidative stress in proximity to non-perfused sinusoid that contributes to subsequent hepatocellular injury. The gut I/R-induced leukosequestration in the liver is mediated by adhesion molecules that are induced by different cytokines, endotoxin, and oxidants. Kupffer cells also play an important role in the gut I/R-induced leukosequestration and liver injury. Nitric oxide and anti-oxidants such as superoxide dismutase protect the liver against the deleterious effects of gut I/R. Furthermore, agents such as ethanol can alter the hepatic responses to gut I/R. The results of these studies provide novel information and potential therapeutic strategies for reducing the liver dysfunction and multiple organ failure induced by gut I/R. |

Q:
Javascript - Replace text beetwen special characters
I'm trying to replace everything between special characters of a string in Javascript.
var text = "Hello,\n>> Someone lalalala\nMore Text\n<<";
I've tried the following code:
var newText = text.replace(/>>.*<</, ">>Some other text<<");
But at the end it actually returns the text variable.
I'd appreciate some thoughts about this. Thanks.
A:
Regexes are "greedy", meaning they'll try to match the longest substring possible. Since .* means literally any character, it's going to include your delimiter << as well. Thus, .* reaches all the way to the end of your string, and then it can't find << after that, so the match will fail. You have to exclude it in your expression:
text.replace(/>>[^<]*<</, ">>Some other text<<");

[The nurse in the decentralization process of the health system].
Study about the decentralization process of the health system in the '80s and '90s in the city of Itabuna-BA. It is aimed at describing the city's health decentralization process, identifying the nurse's insertion/participation in this process. Descriptive/qualitative study of exploratory nature that utilized both the semistructured interview and documental analysis for data collection. The results show that the nurse's insertion in the decentralization process took place according to the changes that occurred at every municipal management, where the nurse acted more effectively as the set of circumstances was established and was influenced by the several conjunctures formed by the implemented policies or implemented in each context of the management of the municipal health system. |

BORIS Expression in Ovarian Cancer Precursor Cells Alters the CTCF Cistrome and Enhances Invasiveness through GALNT14.
High-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) is the most aggressive and predominant form of epithelial ovarian cancer and the leading cause of gynecologic cancer-related death. We have previously shown that CTCFL (also known as BORIS, Brother of the Regulator of Imprinted Sites) is expressed in most ovarian cancers, and is associated with global and promoter-specific DNA hypomethylation, advanced tumor stage, and poor prognosis. To explore its role in HGSC, we expressed BORIS in human fallopian tube secretory epithelial cells (FTSEC), the presumptive cells of origin for HGSC. BORIS-expressing cells exhibited increased motility and invasion, and BORIS expression was associated with alterations in several cancer-associated gene expression networks, including fatty acid metabolism, TNF signaling, cell migration, and ECM-receptor interactions. Importantly, GALNT14, a glycosyltransferase gene implicated in cancer cell migration and invasion, was highly induced by BORIS, and GALNT14 knockdown significantly abrogated BORIS-induced cell motility and invasion. In addition, in silico analyses provided evidence for BORIS and GALNT14 coexpression in several cancers. Finally, ChIP-seq demonstrated that expression of BORIS was associated with de novo and enhanced binding of CTCF at hundreds of loci, many of which correlated with activation of transcription at target genes, including GALNT14. Taken together, our data indicate that BORIS may promote cell motility and invasion in HGSC via upregulation of GALNT14, and suggests BORIS as a potential therapeutic target in this malignancy. IMPLICATIONS: These studies provide evidence that aberrant expression of BORIS may play a role in the progression to HGSC by enhancing the migratory and invasive properties of FTSEC. |
What if you redesigned Darth Vader, but you only had a few sentences of description from the script to go on? Artist Carlos Villagra (and a few others) tried. Here's what they dreamed the Dark Lord could have looked like.
Here's the little bit of script (taken from A New Hope) that the artists had to go on:
INTERIOR: REBEL BLOCKADE RUNNER - MAIN HALLWAY. The awesome, seven-foot-tall Dark Lord of the Sith makes his way into the blinding light of the main passageway. This is Darth Vader, right hand of the Emperor. His face is obscured by his flowing black robes and grotesque breath mask, which stands out next to the fascist white armored suits of the Imperial stormtroopers. Everyone instinctively backs away from the imposing warrior and a deathly quiet sweeps through the Rebel troops. Several of the Rebel troops break and run in a frenzied panic.
And the first design, by Carlos Villagra.

Mapping a marsupial X chromosome using kangaroo-mouse somatic cell hybrids.
A series of marsupial-eutherian somatic cell hybrids was produced by fusion between lymphocytes from the red kangaroo (Macropus rufus) and HPRT-deficient mouse cells. The hybrids lost marsupial chromosomes and could therefore be used to map marsupial genes. Several of the hybrids contained a complete red kangaroo X chromosome and expressed the kangaroo form of the enzymes HPRT, G6PD, and PGKA. A number of HPRT-deficient revertant cell lines were derived from the hybrids. These possessed a variety of partially deleted X chromosomes. With these cell lines, it has been possible to establish the X-linkage of the genes for HPRT, G6PD, and PGKA in this marsupial and to localize these three genes to the terminal portion of the euchromatic arm of the red kangaroo X chromosome. |
Graphene is an allotrope of carbon comprising a sheet of carbon atoms generally including a single atomic layer thickness. Graphene possesses exceptional electronic and material properties, including an ultra-high electron mobility. However, graphene alone is not generally considered to be suitable as a switching medium because it lacks a bandgap. A bandgap can be established structurally in graphene, however such a structural bandgap can degrade or destroy the band structure, which hinders the ultra-high electron mobility otherwise provided by graphene. Accordingly, graphene devices having structurally-established bandgaps generally deliver a poor ON-state current. |
Yoona, who starred in KBS 2TV’s Monday-Tuesday drama, “Love Rain”, (script by Oh Sooyeon, directed by Yoon Sukho), talked with Star News on May 30th through SM Entertainment. She said, “During ‘Love Rain’, I reflected on myself and considered it to be valuable time.”
Yoona continued, “It’s been a while since I was in a drama. ‘Love Rain’ is a drama that has allowed me to experience a lot of different emotions which I couldn’t feel before in my previous works. But above all, it was good to have time to reflect on myself once more.”
Yoona also mentioned, “I was even happier that I got to work with good actors and staff. I will try my best to grow and improve for everyone.”
She also said to the viewers, “Thank you so much to those who showed their support for ‘Love Rain’.” She told them, “Look forward to Yoona’s different image,” adding that, “She will become a more mature actress.”
The last episode of “Love Rain” aired on the May 29th, which brought a conclusion to the love story between Jang Geunsuk and Yoona’s characters, Seo Joon and Jung Hana.

Why Men Always Get the “S” Jobs
I’ve had enough. For far too long, me and my fellow menfolk have been forced into cruel, subservient tasks: The s— jobs. My latest epiphany reveals why it occurs, and one brave man’s attempt to right this messy wrong.
Be forewarned: This epiphany is laden with gender stereotypes. If you are a woman, and you happen to also get the s— jobs, you have my sympathies. This epiphany is not directed at you.
But in my neck of the woods, the man not only gets the shaft, he gets the s—. Here are a few examples:
• When the toilet backs up, we have to plunge the s—
• When the dog craps on the lawn, we have to pick up the s—
• When the garbage has to go out, we have to put out the s—
• When its redecorating time (groan), we have to move all the heavy s—
Now I know my wife could do these things. She’s an exercise nut, and more than capable of plunging, pick up, putting out and moving s—. But I always get the job. In fact, it’s always been assumed that men get the job.
Forget the “Glass Ceiling.” This is the “S— Basement.” And after extensive research, I’ve uncovered why it exists.
Downfall via Diapers
In previous generations, men were the lone bread earners in the household. After busting their humps all day, aproned wives rewarded them a martini and a warm meal. And these guys didn’t change diapers. At all.
But mom did have a little pull, even back then. To compensate for not handling their kid’s s—, dads had to handle everyone else’s s—. They accepted the s— jobs, and all was well.
Fast forward to today’s dual-income household, where both moms and dads bust humps all day. In these household, men change diapers. They don’t dare do otherwise.
Yet we don’t see a re-alignment of the s— jobs. Why?
I explained the inequities of the system to my wife. She listened patiently, nodding as I described the insurmountable horrors of plunging, scooping, and picking up s—.
“I used to dream of you,” I said. “And now I dream of poop.”
I proposed that we redistribute the workload. We would share s— jobs together, just as we had shared diaper changing. Together we would scrape dog excrement from our shoe soles. Together we would move that freakin’ heavy hide-a-bed for the thousandth time. Together we would contract e coli from fecal matter run amuck.
That toilet is scary-looking. I sympathize. Not only do I do all the cooking, cleaning, and laundry, but I do the S— work too. But only because I don’t have a husband to do it for me. Oops! Isn’t it written somewhere in the wedding vows? |

Hazard and mode of action of disinfection by-products (DBPs) in water for human consumption: Evidences and research priorities.
Disinfection of water system is an essential strategy to protect human health from pathogens and prevent their regrowth during water distribution, but the reaction of disinfectant agents with organic matter can lead to the formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs). Given their widespread occurrence, potential human health impacts and (eco)toxicity associated with exposure to DBPs are of particular interest due to their potential carcinogenicity and vary non-carcinogenic effects, such as endocrine disruption. Understanding the public health implications of this emerging issue is crucial for societies and decision-makers, supporting more effective water safety plans. Here, we review the recent literature on the effects of DBPs presented in drinking water and treated swimming pools water, focusing particularly in unregulated compounds and the putative underlying mode of action, linking the available data with adverse health outcomes. Overall, the majority of studies highlight the limited knowledge in the understanding of the underlying mode of action of DBPs. Yet, available evidences indicate that different signaling pathways seem to be involved in the adverse outcomes associated with distinct DBPs classes. The main knowledge gaps in this field are also identified, and future research priorities discussed. |

Q:
How to know if an instance has been initialized?
How can we do:
instance = Object.allocate ## Doesn't call initialize(). Object is just a sample class.
...
# Somewhere instance would get itself initialized. I do magic.
...
instance.initialized? ## There's no method like that.
?
Of course I ask this not wanting to use flags anywhere. I want to know a general solution for default behaviours like it would work even for a simple instance of Object.
A:
So I actually ended up with this solution. I'm still open for suggestions.
class ::Object
def object(name, klass = Object, &block)
instance = klass.allocate
if instance.method(:initialize).owner == BasicObject
instance.instance_exec(&block) if block_given?
else
raise "No block given." unless block_given?
instance.instance_exec do
def initialize(*args)
@__initialized = true
super
end
end
instance.instance_exec(&block)
instance.instance_exec do
raise "Instance of #{klass} needs to be initialized." unless @__initialized
remove_instance_variable :@__initialized
end
end
(self.is_a?(Module) ? self : self.class).const_set(name, instance)
end
end
I could use it like
object :Hey, SomeClassWithInitialize do
puts "Perhaps sometimes I'd be doing some things first before initializing."
initialize
puts "And other things after initializing."
def hey!
puts "Hey!"
end
end
Hey.hey!
Update: Turns out that there really is no function in Ruby that declares a flag that initialize is called. All calls from rb_obj_call_init to rb_obj_dummy does nothing significant to this.

Unix: Using date in alias doesn't output the current date/time
In my bash_profile, I'm referencing an external alias.sh file, which has the following alias:
alias date="echo `date "+%Y-%m-%d at %H:%M":%S`"
If I issue date in a new terminal session, it constantly outputs the specific date at the time when the alias.sh file was sourced (i.e. when I started the new session) …
How do I make an alias that actually outputs the current date, when executing the aliased command?
A:
Uhh, why not just?
alias date='date "+%Y-%m-%d at %H:%M":%S'
No need to echo it. When you use the backwards tick ( ` ), whatever's in it gets evaluated when alias.sh is sourced.

The present invention relates in general to ink or printing fluid input systems for use in a rotary printing press and, in particular, to an ink or printing fluid input system in which different ink colors are applied to a single metering roller.
In normal printing practice a single rotary plate cylinder is intended to print only a single ink color. For certain printing operations it is often desired to apply ink in two or more different colors to a single metering roller at different areas along the axial length of the metering roller. For that purpose, two or more ink or printing fluid input devices must be associated with the metering roller and must be separated from each other so that ink of different colors can be applied to the metering roller in the desired areas and so that smearing or mixing of the different colored inks will be avoided.
It is well known in the prior art to use different types of physical barriers between the ink input devices to insure that the different colored inks are kept separated. For example, it is known to use an ink separator plate that extends at right angles to the axis of the metering roller. Such an ink separator plate has a concavely curved end face having the same radius of curvature as that of the metering roller, and is brought into sealing contact with the surface of the metering roller. Also known is the use of sponge type materials in which water is circulated, these sponge type materials contacting the surface of the metering roller at a position for dividing one colored ink from another colored ink.
A drawback of the prior art is that these prior art seals of necessity form mechanical contact with the metering roller. These seals are difficult to set and require constant attention due to wear. Ink containment on anilox rolls used in flexographic and keyless printing press applications are also typically constructed using mechanical type seals which have these same drawbacks. |

In contrast, Dahl salt-resistant rats do not. The two lines appear to differ in terms of heart-rate reactivity and central nervous system organization. |
Q:
Different static files for the same path but different domains on App Engine
I'm running WordPress Network with custom domains on Google App Engine Standard Environment (so I can't use nginx or something).
What I want to do is to serve different static content for different domains but using the same path:
somedomain1.com/favicon.ico ----> static/somedomain1.com/favicon.ico
somedomain2.com/favicon.ico ----> static/somedomain2.com/favicon.ico
somedomain3.com/favicon.ico ----> static/somedomain3.com/favicon.ico
etc…
I tried to use domain names in app.yaml URL handlers, but it ain't work for me:
handlers:
- url: (http|https)://somedomain1.com/favicon.ico
static_files: static/somedomain1.com/favicon.ico
upload: static/somedomain1.com/favicon.ico
Is this possible by means of the standard environment of App Engine?
A:
You cannot use the app.yaml URL routing for such purpose because the handler url configuration doesn't apply to the host/domain name portion of the URL, it only applies to the file path portion. From the url row in the Handlers element table (emphasis mine):
url
Required element under handlers. The URL pattern, as a regular
expression. The expression can contain groupings that can be referred
to in the file path to the script with regular expression
back-references. For example, /profile/(.*)/(.*) would match the URL
/profile/edit/manager and use edit and manager as the first and second
groupings.
In other words this portion of your configuration is not really valid:
url: (http|https)://somedomain1.com/favicon.ico`
You could complement your WordPress static offering with a small app which could take care of dynamically selecting a particular artifact based on the domain in the request's URL.

This invention relates to fatigue resistant rivets and the method for securing relatively thin aircraft skins to stringers, for example, and the combination of the rivets in such skins in a fastening relationship.
Tapered fasteners have been widely used in aircraft construction, especially where fluid-sealing along the fastener and where improved fatigue life are desired in the shear joint. Numerous innovations have been provided in rivets to provide sealing and to improve the fatigue life. The prior art rivets have been improved to be satisfactory under certain conditions but in some of the rivets required close tolerances have increased their cost and in general there continues to be corrosion around the rivets because of leaks. |

The invention relates to methods and apparatus for quickly selecting various degrees of electrical stimulation applied by a collar-mounted receiver-stimulator unit worn by an animal in response to remote stimulus control signals produced by a remote transmitter operated by a trainer.
For a number of years the present assignee has manufactured and marketed remote dog training devices that each include a remote control hand-held radio transmitter and a collar-mounted lightweight radio receiver and associated electronic circuitry that detects coded radio signals from the transmitter unit and then delivers electrical stimulus signals to the dog. A problem that the assignee has spent years attempting to solve is that of providing optimum stimulus levels to the dog for particular training conditions. It is known that too great an electrical stimulus applied to the animal being trained under a particular set of conditions may have a bad overall affect on the dog's emotional well-being, just as excessively intense spanking would be bad for a human child's emotional well-being. On the other hand, good dog training practice requires that the electrical shock stimulus must be sufficient to achieve the desired training objectives. The assignee's present and previously marketed animal training systems have provided a set of five plug-in intensity level adjusting resistors which can be individually plugged into the receiver unit to establish a selected level of intensity of electrical stimulation applied to the dog when the remote transmitter is actuated. The lowest level of intensity produced by one of the intensity level adjusting resistors, i.e., "level one", produces a slight tingling sensation. Levels two, three, four and five provide progressively higher levels of sensation, level five being very uncomfortable.
A problem with the above-described plug-in intensity level adjusting resistors is, of course, that once a particular level adjusting resistor is inserted, the only way of changing the amount of electrical stimulation that can be applied to the dog (by actuating a control on the remote transmitter) is by removing the present intensity level adjusting resistor from the dog's collar unit and substituting another. Unfortunately, the degree of electrical stimulation that will be most effective in training a dog is greatly dependent on the attentiveness of the dog to the trainer. In a typical training situation a fairly low level of electrical stimulation selectively applied by the trainer (by actuating the remote transmitter) will be very effective in accomplishing the desired training goals if used by a skilled trainer in accordance with good dog training practice. However, if an event occurs that greatly distracts the dog, for example if another dog appears, a cat runs by, or a male dog smells a nearby female animal in heat, the degree of electrical stimulation resulting from the previously selected intensity level adjusting resistor may be completely inadequate. In fact, the dog may not even feel the electrical stimulation that the trainer attempts to apply to the dog.
The inventors have learned that the above-described scenario has two very negative effects on the overall training of the dog. First, the trainer is unable to apply the appropriate degree of aversive stimulation that will prevent the dog from engaging in the undesired behavior, i.e., chasing the rabbit. Second, the dog, which already knows as a result of prior training that the behavior is undesired, now learns that it can get away with the undesired behavior because the trainer did not take any immediate effective deterrent action, since the dog, due to the high level of distraction, did not even feel the stimulation that the trainer actually applied. The dog therefore believes that it now is somewhat acceptable to engage in the undesired behavior. The net effect of this scenario is that a large backward step in the training of the dog has just been taken.
Although it theoretically would be possible to provide remote control switches to allow remote selection of different stimulation intensity levels by electrically "switching in" different intensity level adjusting resistors, this would add too much to the weight, size, and cost of a receiver unit which, as a practical matter, must be small, light, and inexpensive.
The assignee has attempted other approaches to achieve remote control of the degree of intensity of the stimulation applied to the dog. Various such approaches attempted by the assignee have resulted in unacceptable variation in the open circuit voltage of the output transformer, the secondary windings of which are connected to the electrodes that contact the dog's skin. Such variation in open circuit voltage is very undesirable because it can cause the intensity of the electrical stimulation as felt by the dog to vary widely according to variations in the moistness of the dog's skin, the tightness of the collar, and various movements by the dog.
One recently available device manufactured by Momentum Technology, Inc., of Cat Springs, Texas provides a remote control electronic training device that allows selection of three variable stimulus intensity levels selectable from the transmitter. However, this device has the disadvantage of reducing the output voltage to achieve lower levels of electrical stimulation when the medium or low level of electrical stimulation is selected. This results in wide, unpredictable variations in the degree of electrical stimulation felt by the dog due to inconsistent coupling of the electrical current to the dog's skin. This is particularly evident when the low level is selected, and is evident to a lesser degree when the medium level is selected.
Thus, there is a presently unmet need for an economical, reliable, practical apparatus and method for enabling the trainer to immediately provide an optimum degree of electrical stimulation to meet the needs of a training situation wherein there are rapid variations in the distraction levels to the animal. |

Q:
jquery function not called on click event
$(function ()
{
$('#btnnext').click(function ()
{
alert("Hello after click event");
});
});
And the code for button as:
<asp:Button ID="btnnext" runat="server" CssClass="BStyle" OnClick="btnnext_Click" Text="Save" />
I have place Button control in update panel control and also have used master.. page
A:
$('#<%=btnnext.ClientID%>').click(function ()
{
alert("Hello after click event");
});
Another way would be to use OnClientClick attribute
<asp:Button ID="btnnext" runat="server" CssClass="BStyle" OnClick="btnnext_Click" OnClientClick="MyFunctionName()" Text="Save" />
<script>
function MyFunctionName(){
alert('test');
}
</script>

Downregulation of N-cadherin expression inhibits invasiveness, arrests cell cycle and induces cell apoptosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Some studies have demonstrated that N-cadherin is upregulated in more invasive cancer cell lines and tumors and plays a key role in intercellular adhesion. However, the understanding on the roles N-cadherin plays in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is still poor. Our data showed that knock-down of N-cadherin in ESCC cell line (EC9706) could arrest cell cycle at G0/G1 phase, induce cell apoptosis, reduce the invasiveness in vitro, and inhibit the tumor formation in vivo. These results suggest that N-cadherin is an important factor in the progression and metastasis of ESCC and N-cadherin may serve as a potential molecular target for biotherapy of ESCC. |
[Tendon transfer in pediatric foot deformities].
Tendon transfer surgery plays a central role in the treatment of pediatric foot deformities. Tendon transfers are essential for balancing in neurogenic deformities but also important for the treatment of congenital or idiopathic deformities. Furthermore tendon transfer represents an important management tool for revision surgery of failed treatment in foot deformities. Complications and pit-falls which can potentially lead to failure may occur during the indications and planning of the transfer as well as during the surgery. The identification and analysis of possible pitfalls and complications as well as their management is the central issue of this article. Knowledge about possible problems and their management are essential for successful treatment of pediatric foot deformities. |

Most governments don’t acknowledge it. The Sudanese president dismisses it. Darfurians demand that it be recognized. Academics, activists, and lawyers dispute whether it is still occurring or whether it occurred at all. International Criminal Court (ICC) judges debate standards of evidence surrounding it. The nature of recent attacks this past week by Sudanese government forces and militia allies against defenseless civilians potentially augurs its resurgence. And if a fledgling peace process continues to move forward, then any evidence of it ever happening may well be swept under the rug.
The “it” in question is Darfur’s genocide. Seven years after a small rebellion in western Sudan by Darfurian insurgents unleashed a massive counter-insurgency strategy by the Sudanese government and its Janjaweed militia allies, the debate continues: What should be done about the genocide? How can justice and peace simultaneously be pursued?
The ICC’s recent ruling that genocide charges against Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir are possible gives new life to the issue. And responding to a YouTube question posed by the Enough Project, President Obama appeared to reverse his administration’s stated policy of an “ongoing genocide” by referring to it in the past tense. How do we make sense out of all this?
In our eight trips into Darfur over these past seven years, we have never met a Darfurian who does not believe genocide has occurred. But genocide is ultimately the subject of international law. The Genocide Convention states that the crime pertains when a party intends to destroy – in whole or in part – a particular group of people based on their identity. Although judges will ultimately rule on this, we believe the evidence for genocidal intent is there.
Eyewitness reports this past week of aerial bombardment of villages followed by attacks on civilians populations by armed horsemen echo back to a period just a few years ago when much of Darfur was literally on fire. These reports are emerging simultaneous to a series of framework ceasefire agreements, thus complicating the Darfur landscape further. What we do know, though, is that these recent attacks and their aftermath reinforce a disturbing trend: evidence of the human rights crimes that have been and are being committed is being concealed and compromised.
The ruling party in Sudan responsible for the bulk of the crimes in Darfur is covering up the evidence for previous and ongoing human rights crimes in five unique ways. The international community must act now – in the context of peacemaking efforts – to blow the lid off this elaborate and deadly cover-up.
First, most of the aid agencies that were thrown out last year by President Bashir were working quietly to support survivors of sexual violence and to protect thousands of women and girls from rape. One of the principal tools of war in Darfur has been systematic rape, a factor in any argument supporting the existence of genocidal intent. By removing most of the groups that were protecting or caring for rape survivors, the cover up is on.
Second, the Khartoum regime has systematically denied access to the United Nations/African Union observer mission to investigate attacks on civilians, so many of these attacks go unreported and the culpability remains mysterious. The observer mission has had no access to the areas of recent government attacks, and thus the UN mission has been totally silent in the face of major attacks. What is the role of this hugely expensive mission if not to observe and report? Denial of access is part of the Khartoum regime’s ongoing cover-up of new crimes, so the false argument can be strengthened that rights violations in Darfur are a thing of the past.
Third, there continue to be humanitarian black spots, areas where aid agencies simply can’t go, such as the areas affect by this week’s fighting, leaving over a third of Darfur unreached by food and medical aid. We don’t know the scale or scope of this problem, but we do know that when access is denied or when aid agencies are expelled, people are much more at risk of disease or malnutrition, which have been by far the biggest killers in Darfur.
Fourth, Khartoum has systematically denied access to journalists and human rights investigators, and repressed independent Darfurian civil society groups, thus robbing us of another means of independently ascertaining what is happening today in Darfur, or gathering evidence about past crimes. Illustratively, there is a total media blackout of the attacks being undertaken now in Darfur.
Fifth, the Bashir administration has intimidated aid agencies and UN bodies so no independent information gets released about human rights issues, because to do so would mean certain expulsion for the responsible organization.
So when the word genocide gets raised and debated, we would make a plea to spotlight what is happening now to cover up the human rights crimes that have been and are being committed, losing the evidence to the vast sands of the Sahara Desert. We also hope that debate can eventually fixate on how to integrate the need for justice into more intensive peace-making efforts in both Darfur and southern Sudan. For peace to have a chance, peace efforts must be leveraged with real consequences for crimes against humanity, whether they are called genocide or not.
John Prendergast is cofounder of Enough, the project to end genocide and crimes against humanity at the Center for American Progress. He is the author with Don Cheadle of the forthcoming book, “The Enough Moment.” Omer Ismail is senior adviser to Enough and also serves as vice president for advocacy at Darfur Peace and Development.

Managing Pension Plans
A Comprehensive Guide to Improving Plan Performance
Dennis E. Logue and Jack S. Rader
Description
Pension funds are big business. They are important to employers, employees, governments, and society at large. With the increasing concern over dwindling retirement benefits and the effect on public awareness of recent pension fund crises, managing pension plans has never been more critical--and the pressure on those who are responsible for them has only intensified. Destined to become the classic resource on pension plan management, Managing Pension Plans explains everything you need to know for successful management of any pension plan--from how pension plans help sponsors manage their workforces to the latest in investment and risk management. With concise and practical guidance on ways for achieving optimal finance performance, Managing Pensions Plans is an
indispensable resource for pension fund trustees, boards of directors, managers, and administrators of both public and private pension plans as well as for the money management firms, consultants, actuaries, and accountants who serve the pension fund industry. Logue and Rader, two of the world's leading experts on the subject, explain all the financial, legal, economic, accounting, and managerial issues that those who make pension fund decisions must juggle--in language that non-financial managers can understand, yet with sufficient depth to be useful to financial managers as well. The authors synthesize the latest in capital market and financial economics research to help those involved in pension management improve their decision-making in all the critical areas, including: choosing the
optimal form of pension plan, formulating and implementing the plan's investment strategy, selecting and monitoring pension plan managers, measuring the plan's performance, and managing financial risk. In addition, the book describes in detail the responsibilities of fiduciaries, revealing how to be both a prudent fiduciary and a capable decision maker. Additionally, Managing Pension Plans offers candid advice on how pension managers can improve fund performance by being more effective shareholders. As pension fund management and performance increasingly affect the success of organizations as a whole, this book will be indispensable to anyone--from fund analysts to board members--who influences pension fund decisions.

Q:
for loop with only terminating expression vs while loop
Whilst browsing the Apache ActiveMQ source code, i came across a funny looking for loop..
for (;beforeEndIndex < size;) {
synchronizations.get(beforeEndIndex++).beforeEnd();
}
Whats the benifit of this over using a standard while loop?
E.G.
while(beforeEndIndex < size){
beforeEndIndex++;
}
A:
Both do exactly the same thing.
The major difference between a for loop and a while loop is that the for loop limits the scope of the iteration counter to within the for block where as a while loop requires you to declare the iteration counter at least one block higher. In this case, as the for loop declares no iteration counter variable, there is no difference.

Q:
how to output a tring from an nfc tag to a text file using arduino uno and pn532?
iam in a deep trouble , I have an Arduino uno and a pn532 connected to it in SPI mode , I want to read a string from an nfc tag and output it to a text file , I have already managed to read from nfc tag and write on it easily , but what Iam facing now is how to output the string contained in the nfc tag to a text file instead of outputting it to the serial monitor of the Arduino studio , any help would be greatly appreciated , thanks a lot in advance .
A:
If you want to write the file from the Arduino itself, you have a few options, depending on the available extra hardware and where you want to save the file.
The easier is to use a SD card and the standard SD Library. On the official reference page there are lots of examples.
If you want to save it on the PC, there are several virtual terminal applications that enables you to save the sent and received data. Coolterm is one of them, Putty is another one.
You can also make your own application that receives the data from the arduino through serial communication, and handle the file saving on this application.

Utah officially declared pornography a “public health crisis” in a resolution Gov. Gary Herbert signed at the state capitol in Salt Lake City on Wednesday. The text of the resolution claims that porn has a “detrimental” effect on brain function, contributes to “emotional and medical illnesses,” and gives rise to “deviant sexual arousal.” State Sen. Todd Weiler introduced the resolution in January; it passed the state legislature—unanimously!—in March. “Weiler maintains that the resolution is not a ban on porn or an attack on masturbation,” USA Today reported.
So, a curious Utahn might ask, what is it? The resolution says Utah needs “education, prevention, research, and policy change at the community and societal level,” but it does nothing to provide those things, nor does it offer any evidence for the claims it makes. It’s a nonbinding, symbolic measure to legislate morality and shame Utah residents for seeking out a product that most people consume at some point without ill effects.
The resolution is also a response to the menace of a porn-addiction epidemic, a myth perpetuated by the Mormon church. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints calls porn addiction “a plague like we have never seen” in a video that says porn “destroys lives.” “[God] knew about pornography, that this would be the plague of our day,” a Mormon church official says in the video. Utah is home to a growing number of counseling facilities and treatment centers specializing in porn addiction. They teach that there is no acceptable amount of porn to watch; anyone who consumes porn is considered an addict. Utah’s new anti-porn resolution contains language that echoes the Mormon church’s doomsday predictions: “Pornography equates violence towards women and children with sex and pain with pleasure, which increases the demand for sex trafficking, prostitution, child sexual abuse images, and child pornography,” the resolution reads. “Pornography use is linked to lessening desire in young men to marry, dissatisfaction in marriage, and infidelity.”
These arguments have also been advanced by secular anti-porn activists, including Gail Dines, who wrote in the Washington Post earlier this month that the porn industry is “hijack[ing] the physical and emotional well-being of our culture.” But Weiler, a Mormon, told the Atlantic he got the resolution’s facts from Fight the New Drug, an anti-pornography group founded and run by Mormons. The group is best known for the “Porn Kills Love” billboard campaign that elicited a resounding ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ from the entire Bay Area last year.
Weiler has been a reliable source of clutch soundbites and analogies throughout the resolution’s germination. “If you start with meth or heroin, everyone knows that’s addictive. A lot of people will get kind of lured into pornography, and they don’t know it may actually consume their life,” he told the Atlantic. At Wednesday’s signing, he raised a specter even scarier than that of a generation raised on porn instead of Sesame Street. “We have restaurants, fast-food restaurants—some of which cater to children—who are providing free and unfiltered Wi-Fi, as well as public libraries,” Weiler said. “If a library or McDonald’s or anyone else was giving out cigarettes to our children we would be picketing them.” Yes, we would. And the minute libraries and McDonald’s franchises start recommending erotic novels and penis-shaped chicken nuggets to children, Utah should pass a resolution condemning those practices. Until then, the state should hold off on the do-nothing moralizing. |

Security Blanket
Sometimes it’s best to pull people into a false sense of security, to assure them that you’re okay, and that it’s okay, and that there’s no need to worry. Sometimes it’s safer, and it’s easier, and saves hassle and questions.
But if that person really knows you, they’ll never truly believe it. Perhaps for a while, in a wasted attempt to be free, they’ll try to trust you, and allow you to cover them with the security blanket, too. They will allow themselves to believe that you are okay, because they don’t want to fear for your life every day.
But when that person has the revelation once more that it’s not true, it’s a shock. If that person knows and loves you, it won’t be long before they realise the lies. Actually, you’re not okay. And I should have been worrying about you.
It’s then, when that person realises that they’ve been missing the truth, that they are crushed.
It’s when they notice that things aren’t right.
It’s when they hate themselves for believing the lies, and allowing the security blanket to envelop them.
It’s only then that the person feels guilt. When the blanket is ripped away, they scream from the pain.
It’s when they feel like a hot dagger has torn through them. They stopped helping. They thought it was okay.
It’s then that they become emotionless, fearful, and afraid.
It’s then that they realise that they should have predicted it all along.
It’s only now that I realise how stupid I’ve been. I let her pull the blanket over my eyes, and now the reality has hit me with one big THWACK.
Once more, my fear for her is deep in my chest, and even if it may be one thing too much right now, nothing can make the ache go away. I love her, I can’t be blind anymore. Even if she wants to be blind, I won’t. Because I fear for her life. |
Trust in God and do the right. This is something we have been taught from our very early days. We don’t really have a problem with trusting in God when we know that we are doing the right thing. The problem arises that God often works in mysterious ways. You put in all your efforts, and you find yourselves deprived of the carrot and the stick chasing you on top of that. Can you persuade God to take a kinder view? Germany Astrologer RajatNayar, best and most famous astrologer, believes that the outcome of our efforts isn’t just dependent on the efforts, the stars and the Vastu too play a vital part in the outcome. While it is only you who have control of the efforts you put in, you can rely on top Remedial Astrologer Rajat Nayar to take care of the stars and Vaastu. All you need to do is to get in touch with him team and consult him along with information about date, time and place of your birth. If you follow his advice, there is no reason that your efforts to achieve your goals go to waste.He is available for phone consultations for people of Germany too if you want to consult him in Germany sitting at your home or office. |
Q:
Building a PDB file from amino acid sequence of non-folded structure
I am interested in experimenting with folding simulations and algorithms for arbitrary sequences. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to convert an amino acid sequence into a PDB file for further simulation. To be clear I only want the primary protein structure.
If possible, I'd like to be able to characterize the bonds as well so that I can treat the molecule as a rigid body with rotational joints. Does anyone know something that can do this?
A:
So to be clear, it sounds like you want the 'coil' or unfolded structure of a protein based on the sequence?
There are plenty of programs out there to do homology modelling, which is taking a sequence of unknown structure and modelling it onto one with a known structure. On the other hand, there are many libraries for analyzing existing structures. What you want is somehow in between these two.
I'll add some links here as I find them:
There is a Lua library that might be useful : https://github.com/rob-miller/rFold
Modeller has functions for this: https://salilab.org/modeller especially this page
The Structural Bioinformatics Library : http://sbl.inria.fr/doc/index.html
The Rosetta library (as used in fold.it): https://www.rosettacommons.org/
I'm sure there are more, but it really depends on what programming language you want to use, or if you are implementing stuff yourself versus running some standalone software.

Hydrodynamic interaction between spheres coated with deformable thin liquid films.
In this article, we considered the hydrodynamic interaction between two unequal spheres coated with thin deformable liquids in the asymptotic lubrication regime. This problem is a prototype model for drop coalescence through the so-called "film drainage" mechanism, in which the hydrodynamic contribution comes dominantly from the lubrication region apart from the van der Waals interaction force. First, a general formulation was derived for two unequal coated spheres that experienced a head-to-head collision at a very close proximity. The resulting set of the evolution equations for the deforming film shapes and stress distributions was solved numerically. The film shapes and hydrodynamic interaction forces were determined as functions of the separation distance, film thickness, viscosity ratios, and capillary numbers. The results show that as the two spheres approach each other, the films begin to flatten and eventually to form negative curvature (or a broad dimple) at their forehead areas in which high lubrication pressure is formed. The dimple formation occurs earlier as the capillary number increases. For large capillary numbers, the film liquids are drained out from their forehead areas and the coated liquid films rupture before the two films "touch" each other. Meanwhile, for small capillary numbers, the gap liquid is drained out first and the two liquid films eventually coalesce. |
Q:
Understanding unused typedef of empty inherited class
I'm just trying to understand some tutorial code I'm going through. I'm trying to learn some Dx11 code and the tutorial I'm going through has classes that are designed as event details to be passed to functions when an event occurs, e.g. a mouse button being pressed. There's an empty base class EventArgs defined as follows:
class EventArgs
{
public:
EventArgs() {};
}
Which is the inherited by other event like classes. So for example they have a key pressed event args class as follows:
class KeyEventArgs : public EventArgs
{
public:
typedef EventArgs base;
KeyEventArgs(/**/)
{ }
// Rest of the class
}
I understand the premise that all the events are inheriting a base to say "they are an event type" but I don't understand the typedef base which is in every event class but isn't used by them directly. It seems as if a function that takes a KeyEventArgs parameter uses this base typedef to pass the event on to it's own base class but I don't understand how that works. The example they give is:
class Game
{
virtual void onKeyRelease(KeyEventArgs &e);
}
class Tutorial : public Game
{
void onKeyRelease(KeyEventArgs &e)
{
base::onKeyRelease(e);
/* Above calls Game::onKeyRelease(e) */
}
}
If anyone could shed any light on why/how the above works I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.
A:
The word base is not a keyword so in the class Tutorial example, the line base::onKeyRelease(e); will not compile. Now, if you saw it somewhere and it does compile, you must know that it must be define by a typedef or a using statement somewhere.
The purpose of the using such a typedef is to add another level of abstraction to help people change code safely. Considering the Tutorial example you could just as well write Game::onKeyRelease(e); Let's consider the following example:
class Game
{
virtual void onKeyRelease(KeyEventArgs &e);
}
class AwsomeGame : public Game
{
virtual void onKeyRelease(KeyEventArgs &e);
}
class Tutorial : public Game
{
typedef Game base;
void onKeyRelease(KeyEventArgs &e)
{
base::onKeyRelease(e);
//equivalent to Game::onKeyRelease(e);
}
}
If you change Tutorial base class from Game to AwsomeGame and the typedef also you have successfully changed the code without any bad side effects.
Not using a typedef would force you to write explicit calls to Game, and when the base class changes, you will have to change it in all the places you have used it. Now, if you consider the above example and you change Game to AwsomeGame without changing the typedef the code is valid, but you might run into a logical error later:
class Tutorial : public AwsomeGame //,public Game
{
void onKeyRelease(KeyEventArgs &e)
{
Game::onKeyRelease(e);
//code is valid, but you probably want AwsomeGame::onKeyRelease(e);
}
}

Implementation of high definition television (HDTV) in the United States is now undergoing testing by the Federal Communications Commission. It is contemplated that such an HDTV system will require additional channel allocations on UHF frequencies which will carry a digital signal. Thus alterations to existing transmitting antennas will be required. The existing TV signal is normally designated an NTSC signal which is analog. It is contemplated that the HDTV digital signal will be located on the same transmission tower. However, the normal slot antennas in the UHF frequency range cannot simultaneously serve two separate UHF channels efficiently. In such cases, the HDTV operation will require a separate antenna in a different location of the tower.
Since the physical location of an antenna on a transmitting tower used by several TV stations is quite critical, to locate the HDTV antenna on another part of the tower, or even relocate the entire antenna installation is not desirable. |
Q:
Why do we need Spring REST if we have Spring MVC?
If we can create REST Api using Spring MVC then why do we need Spring REST?
Spring MVC is based on servlet,is Spring REST also based on servlet?
Which specifications do Spring MVC and Spring REST implement?
And if we want to use only Spring REST do we need Spring Boot?
A:
spring-boot is a project provided by spring community. It used Java Configuration over XML configuration and provide you default configuration in many scenarios.
For example, previously, you have to manually configure everything. Like DB connection etc.
But in spring-boot, in many scenarios, you just have to give the dependency name and spring-boot will configure it for you.
Spring MVC and Servlets:
Spring MVC internally uses Servlets only, so if you find any other java web project or framework, most probably, that would be using servlets internally.
Now Spring MVC and Spring REST:
First, you need to understand what is REST.
You can implement REST in spring MVC also, but again you have to do so many configurations manually.
Spring REST provides you already configuration, you just have to follow its rules and you could build a FULLY REST API.

[Management of the bleeding risk associated with antiplatelet agents].
Like all antithrombotic drugs, antiplatelet agents expose to a risk of bleeding complications. Clinical research has extensively focused on the efficacy of these drugs to reduce ischemic events. The bleeding risk associated with them was solely considered as an inevitable and acceptable complication. When two new potent P2Y12-receptor inhibitors, prasugrel and ticagrelor, were marketed, the risk of major bleeding increased. These new agents have modified the balance between the absolute risk reduction in ischemic events and the absolute risk increase in bleeding events. This paper is an update on the bleeding risk assessment associated with antiplatelet agents. It discusses the place of platelet function monitoring, and the optimal management of bleeding complications. It addresses the challenging issue of reversal of antiplatelet therapy, focusing especially on ticagrelor, which pharmacodynamics complicate bleeding management. |
[Changes of hierarchy among causes of death in some European Union countries].
Mortality from malignant neoplasms and diseases of circulatory system in the countries of European Union is on decline, though this trend is much slower in the case of neoplasms. In some EU countries the mortality from neoplasms is already higher than mortality from diseases of circulatory system, which until recently occupied the first position in the cause of death hierarchy. This trend is more significant among males and in France, the Netherlands and Spain where malignant neoplasms became the first cause of death. The forecast for next years predicts the continuation and deepening of this tendency. |
Top Ten Things To Consider When Planning A Family Vacation
Are very popular choices for families, because of the many all-inclusive packages that are offered. There are also quite a few web sites specializing in home rentals for holiday purposes. Kuta is the perfect place to go sunbathing during the day and socializing at night because usually this place starts to become crowded as soon as the sun sets. Columbus vacations call for a walk through the German Village and a slow-paced tour of the Franklin Park Conservatory. We did come back to Six Flags a few days later to have lunch with some of the cast.
Although, some vacation rentals do offer outside services that may add a little extra to your bill, but allow you to keep aspects of a hotel. Holiday homes offers many vacation properties such as villas, cottages, apartments, and bed and breakfasts to choose from and is continuing to expand. Book your vacation package with Travelocity, and you’re on your way to the land of sun, sand, and city skyscrapers so tall even Godzilla would have to be impressed. Call us today to experience our unique professionalism and realize personally why Signature Vacation Rentals is YOUR only call for rental vacation properties.
Also a little know Vacation Movie Trivia, Lisa and I are both in the Vacation Film and appear three times in the Walley World (six Flags Over GA) scenes. Go here if you are staying in Mexico for a while to stock up on the necessities. Family movie reviews, movie ratings, fun film party ideas and pop culture news — all with parents in mind. Be sure to include all costs in your budget, from the rental and gas, to food and campsite hookups. If you have an adventurous young man who loves the outdoors, don’t take him to Europe in August, but instead plan a fun family vacation in the Rocky Mountains, hiking, mountain biking and swimming in mountain lakes. Although vacation rentals are growing and expanding many people have still not discover them. Vacation is definitely not the smartest of films and unlike the original, people will soon forget about its very existence.
You know what they say: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. We guess that means your Rome vacation will be filled with authentic pasta and afternoons spent sipping espresso on a café patio. You can rest assured that every rental home that we exclusively property manage is hand select and personally inspected to meet our high standards before we offer it in our rental program. You’ll be able to find a high-quality vacation home more easily if you reserve early. It feels like a vacation that grew from a screenwriters head and not any kind of life experience. If you plan your vacation carefully, you can have the same experience that is achieved by expert fishermen.
Now the Vacation movie takes place in the Summer, and it was freezing out, so we all had to hide our jackets when they called rolling and walk, sit, pretend to talk, etc. Another thing that will make you want to go to Pattaya during your vacation is the Accomodation. |

Out of the Shadows
Lately Isabelle has been rather obsessed by shadows (no, not the Cliff Richard kind), just her own. Like Ben Hur, it’s a big cast.
At Rufford Park Iz was fascinated by their lengths, especially as she walked with Sarah, and was rather disgruntled when I stepped over hers.
Later on that day, when Isabelle was getting ready for bed, she also noticed the shadows on the wall – so I promptly did three slight variations of dogs, the only shadow animals which I can do. Iz took great delight in trying to emulate my feeble finger puppetry.
Needless to say we won’t be showing Isabelle the ending of Ghost at any point soon, where the shadows come and drag the bad guy to hell. Getting Iz off to sleep can be hard enough as it is! |

Bannerman, Colin: Australian food history
The importance that food and eating have assumed as components of popular culture in Australia has not yet been matched by thorough historical analysis. This essay briefly surveys existing histories of non-indigenous eating in Australia and outlines a theoretical framework within which an explanatory history of Australian food culture could be constructed. It suggests that, for reasons of relative newness and isolation, the Australian setting is ideal for testing such a framework. Finally, it notes that the processes of communication through which an Australian culture of food and eating developed—whether or not that culture amounts to a distinctive cuisine—largely documented its progress, thus simplifying the task for historians. |

by Scott F. Aikin and Robert B. Talisse
As we have noted previously on this blog, Christmas is a drag. The holiday’s norms and founding mythologies are repugnant, especially when compared to its more humane cousin, Thanksgiving. The story of the nativity doesn’t make much sense; moreover, it seems odd to celebrate an occasion that involved the slaughter of innocent children. And the other founding myth – the myth of Santa and the North Pole – is one of a morally tone-deaf autocrat who delivers toys to the children of well-off parents rather than life-saving basic goods to the most needy. But, when you think about it, the Santa myth is far worse than even that.
To start, the Christmas mythology has it that Santa is a being who is morally omniscient – he knows whether we are bad or good, and in fact keeps a record of our acts. Additionally he is somnically omniscient – he sees us when we’re sleeping, he knows when we’re awake. Santa has unacceptable capacities for monitoring our actions, and he exercises them! In a similar vein, Santa takes himself to be entitled to enter our homes, in the night and while we’re not looking, despite the fact that we have locked the doors. In other words, Santa does not respect our privacy. He watches us, constantly.
This is important because the moral value of our actions is largely determined by our motives for performing them. Performing the action that morality requires is surely good; however, when the morally required act is performed for the wrong reasons, the morality of the act is diminished. Acting for the right reasons is a condition for being worthy of moral praise; and, correlatively, the blame that follows a morally wrong action is properly mitigated when the agent can show the purity of her motives.
The trouble with Santa’s surveillance is that it affects our motives. When we know that we are being watched by an omniscient judge looking to mete out rewards and punishments, we find ourselves with strong reasons to act for the sake of getting the reward and avoiding the punishment. But in order for our actions to have moral worth, they must be motivated by moral reasons, rather than narrowly self-interested ones. In short, under Santa’s watchful eye, our motivations become clouded, and so does the morality of our actions.
The exclamation at the end of Santa Claus is Coming to Town captures the moral ambiguity that the Santa myth imposes on us: “You better be good for goodness sake.” Could there be a more confused moral prescription? On the one hand, if the expression aims to exhort us to act on the basis of properly moral motives (for the sake of goodness itself), then the Myth of Santa undercuts our reasons to be moral. Apparently, the account runs as follows: Santa keeps tabs on what you do and when you sleep. He will punish or reward you on the basis of your performance. So you should be good for purely moral motives. The trouble, again, is that after having given a variety of non-moral, strictly self-interested reasons to act, it is a perfect non sequitur to conclude that we must act on the basis of purely moral motives. In fact, if we’re right, the Santa myth undermines the idea that we should act on the basis of our moral reasons. By accepting the Santa myth, then, we nearly ensure that we will not be good.
On the other hand, the expression “be good for goodness sake” may be simply a form of emphatic interjection, like “Do your homework, for Chrissakes!” or “Exercise and eat right, for Pete’s sake!” And in light of the story of Santa’s monitoring practices and the consequent rewards and punishments, this interpretation seems more in keeping with the overall Santa myth, and seems like a more psychologically plausible bit of advice. This reading, however, embraces the usurpation of moral motivation. It impels its listener to be bribed for good behavior; in fact, it places bribery at the heart of morality.
So far, we’ve presented a broadly moral argument against Santa. He doesn’t respect our privacy, and our knowledge of that fact, in light of his role in punishing and rewarding us, distorts our moral motives. Yet he seems to require that our motives be pure. Santa is thus a moral torturer: he punishes those who are not good, and then imposes a system of incentives and encouragements that go a long way towards ensuring that everyone will fail at goodness.
To our moral argument there could be added a theological critique of Santa. The problem with Santa Claus from a religious perspective is that he is presented in the mythology as a kind of god. Like the gods of the familiar forms of monotheism, Santa is morally omniscient. He rewards the good and punishes the evil. Moreover, he performs yearly miracles of bounty that, at least by our lights, put Jesus’ miracle of the fishes and loaves to shame. In other words, Santa Claus can be no mere man; accordingly, the Santa mythology implies a Santa theology. And monotheists should be alarmed. We know that Yahweh is a jealous god, and encouraging children to propitiate Santa with their moral behavior sounds very much like the sort of thing that makes a jealous god very, very angry. Imagine Moses’ frustration with the Israelites were he to come back from the mountain to find them telling Santa stories instead of only worshipping a golden calf. It seems to us that taking the first commandments seriously (the ones about worshipping only the god of Moses) should be a source of moral concern about the Santa myth. Christian parents that embrace the Santa myth make idolaters of their children.
We, the authors, are atheists. We deny Santa’s existence, and Yahweh’s, too. The case we’re pressing against Santa here is analogous to the famous argument from evil. (We think the argument applies to Yahweh, too; but that’s a different story.) It works on Santa because he is a morally objectionable entity who is supposed to be intrinsically good, and intrinsically good yet bad entities do not exist. There is, of course, much more to say about the moral case against Santa. To repeat: he uses his miraculous production capacities to make toys instead of things that contribute to lasting welfare; he uses his monitoring capacities to keep track of the things people do, but does not see fit to prevent morally horrible things, assist the victims of crimes, or report criminals to the authorities. And so, not only does Santa Claus not exist, it’s a good thing, too. The questions that remain are why the myth of Santa persists, and why a major holiday is partially focused on such a despicable character. |
Waking early our first full day at Little Governors’ Camp in the Maasai Mara Reserve in Kenya, we were startled to see elephant, hippo, and warthog tracks circling close to the edges of our canvas tent. Was that also a lion’s paw print inches from the tent flap?
The camp was unfenced with the guest tents and dining hall situated around a large, popular waterhole. The freshly made tracks around our tent were evidence that the wildlife came and went through camp at all hours of the day and night. Andy, my husband, and I were warned not to walk anywhere unescorted and to zip our tent up tight every time we departed so that the proprietarytroop of baboons would not enter and steal stuff. They were partial to toothpaste and film canisters, judging from their raid of the tent next to us the day before.
As we left the tent, shivering in the pre-dawn chill, whistling announced we had company. A tall young Maasai warrior bedecked in bold primary-colored beaded necklaces and shirtless with only a red cloth, called a matavuvale, wrapped around his narrow hips, was waiting outside our tent. A vintage silver coffee service was balanced on one palm, and slung over his shoulder was an antique Winchester rifle. He announced in an oddly soft voice, “My name is Nchaama. I am here to guard you.” Galen, our four-year-old son, stared with saucer eyes as Nchaama towered over him, pouring coffee and hot chocolate into bone-white porcelain cups. Faint music emanated from his body. Walkman wires wound through his plaited hair and looped around his extended earlobes that grazed his shoulders. The song keening from the headphones was a classic: “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.”
While we savored our steaming drinks, Nchaama stood silently nearby, balanced on one foot. The other rested against his inner thigh. His smallish head bobbed to the Stones. Then, in a deep melodic voice he stated, “You are not allowed to go anywhere without an armed escort—that is me. Even from your tent to the dining hall.” Andy raised his eyebrows as I felt my heart beat faster. We had picked this walk-in safari camp because of its unique isolation, accessible only by small plane, jeep, then a boat ride to the trail that led to the camp. Andy and I did not expect a private armed guard and wild animals right outside our tent!
Nchaama looked off into the distance, the entire time not wavering, even though he was still standing with only one foot planted on the ground. Slowly, he looked down at us in our canvas camp chairs, shook his head at our naïveté, and said, “Two weeks before you arrived, a woman was gored by a cape buffalo who was peevedthat she was on his trail.” He continued the litany of dangers, saying, “Never, never stand on the river bank close to the water’s edge. A tourist disappeared down there. We think a Nile crocodile lunged out of the water, knocked him over with its giant tail, and pulled him into the river. He is now stuffed under a log rotting somewhere. And the crocodile is eating him. They have very bad breath!”
This regal, slip-thin man who had been so animated, who smelled faintly of blood-rich game meat and sour milk, withdrew into silence again. As we continued to chew on freshly baked buttery scones, we were also digesting the myriad of dangers that could befall us on our family vacation. Disneyland this was not!
Suddenly, Nchaama sprung into action and collected our dishes, which would have been annoying, as we hadn’t finished breakfast, but didn’t matter since we had lost our appetites. With one bony, hooked finger he beckoned us to gather our gear and follow him. With no small amount of trepidation we fell into step, trying to keep up with his long-limbed stride. Like most tourists on safari we were loaded down with video gear, decked out in tan-colored jackets with row upon row of pockets crammed with film canisters, candy bars, water, and sunscreen. I felt like a walking Walgreens in a Banana Republic safari outfit.
The footpath wound through camp and skirted the waterhole where hippos floated, submerged, with nostrils poking above the waterline like rubbery periscopes. We tiptoed and whispered because hippos have a reputation of being easily annoyed and a cantankerous lot with a mean bite when they decide to sink their thick teeth into you. Plus, they can run really fast—like an out-of-control linebacker on stubby legs. Something I did not want to witness this early in the morning.
We got past the watering hole in one piece and headed into the dense bush. White-bellied Go-away-birds and Lilac-breasted Rollers heralded the rising sun. The cool air quickly evaporated as the sun glinted higher and the light grew sharper.
Galen held my hand and chirped questions in a singsong happy trill. “Where are the giraffes?” he asked. It thrilled him that his stuffed toys at home in California had morphed into super-sized, real-life African animals. When we had flown into Little Governors’ Camp from Nairobi the day before in a Cessna, a large herd of giraffes dramatically draped in caramel-colored spots were startled by the plane’s engine thrum and galloped, legs akimbo, down the dirt runway. They moved like mechanical toys.
Nchaama and Andy walked ahead of us on the trail. A trumpeting from deep within the canopy broke the morning avian cacophony. The bushes rattled just a few yards away from us on the side of the trail. Then, another loud trumpet blast blew the branches apart like a theater curtain and an African savanna elephant poked his head from the green wall, flapped his sail-sized ears in our direction, and raised his trunk in yet another and even more urgent warning. He stood defiantly a stone’s throw distance away on the left side of the trail.
“Run, run!” Nchaama shouted.
Maasai, who have very long legs, are known for their Olympic track medals. Much to my surprise, Andy was on his heels, having dropped the video equipment to bolt forward after Nchaama in a champion sprint. They both disappeared down the trail, leaving Galen and me to fend for ourselves.
My feet were frozen to the ground and I gripped Galen’s hand tightly. He was preoccupied with a glossy horned rhinoceros beetle crawling on the trail in front of him, completely unconcerned about the elephant’s threatening attitude or proximity. I glanced surreptitiously at the elephant, avoiding eye contact. He glowered directly at me. His great bulk seethed as he stomped his large padded feet, put his head down, and charged at us. I scooped up my son and the camera gear bag and flew helter-skelter down the path. The pachyderm’s thunderous pounding grew louder as he gained speed and closed the gap between us.
Galen giggled and pointed back at the elephant in glee as he jostled up and down on my hip with every stride. He thought this was a game of chase. Just as I was about to drop the gear in order to run faster and keep a tight grip on my squirming son, the trail turned a bend and there was the riverbank. Nchaama and my husband were already perched in the skiff, ready to shove off. They waved me on with encouraging cheers. “Come on, you can do it! Watch out for the crocodiles!” They yelled and slapped their thighs. Did they think this was some kind of circus relay?
I plopped Galen and myself into the boat with no help from either of the men. My heart pounded. My face was red. I was a sweaty mess pumped up on adrenaline. And I was really pissed off.
The bull elephant had stopped his chase and stood a ways off looking at us, slowly flapping his ears. Then, he nonchalantly sauntered back into the bushes. “He is heading to the garbage cans now,” Nchaama said in a casual tone that insinuated this survival race was a daily occurrence.
I swiveled around and took a good, long, and reassessing look at Andy. He was chatting with Nchaama as if nothing had happened. Doubts about his parental instincts swirled around my mind. I vowed not to talk to him for the rest of the day.
Nachaama maneuvered the skiff past a few floating hippos and we were dropped off on the other side of the Mara River where a jeep idled. Nchaama (who I was also not speaking to) introduced us to our personal guide and driver for the next five days of our safari. He was short and round with very different features than the Maasai. He seemed aloof as he introduced himself. “My name is Josef. I am Kikuyu.” The Kikuyu are Kenya’s largest ethnic group and rivals of the Maasai.
We had specifically requested Josef because his reputation was unsurpassed. What Josef lacked in personality and charm he made up for in an uncanny ability to pinpoint the location of the game animals on any given day. This was crucial. A typical safari could take hours and hours of driving over the savanna with nary a critter in sight.
The Maasai Mara Reserve is the size of Rhode Island and the animals roam freely throughout. It was obvious each night during dinner which guests had had sightings that day. Their conversations were animated as they chittered and chattered excitedly about lions and cheetahs, zebras, hyenas, even rhinos. Then there were the sullen, quiet tables—guests who’d endured the all-day dusty jeep treks with little wildlife. It was hard to witness their postured disappointment in the candlelit dining hall as their somber, elongated shadows wavered on the taupe fabric tent walls.
Josef also turned out to be the driver for the stars and had just spent a week with Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall, and their kids. Mick hadn’t cared about seeing the wildlife. He had requested Josef to drive them far away from people and even lions, park under a shade tree, mix martinis, and lay out picnics while the family played card games undisturbed.
Josef emanated a keen dislike for tourists, but took a shine to Galen and invited him to sit in the front of the jeep, leaving Andy and me bumping along the rutted tracks on the springless back seat. Fortunately, our son was oblivious to my simmering unhappiness as I mulled over the elephant incident. He joyfully sang ditties he made up about the animals—the highlight being when we encountered a pride of lions lying about like a plush wildcat carpet, sultans and sultanas sated after a kill. Galen stood on the seat, holding onto the lowered window, leaned out, and crooned an improvised lullaby to the lions in an angelic, unselfconscious child’s voice. The lions swiveled their heads toward us in the shimmering midday heat, perked up their ears and…grinned. Josef shook his head in disbelief and said with unusual zest, “I have never seen the lions smile or had anybody sing to them. Even Mick Jagger!” From that moment on, Galen sat on Josef’s lap and steered the jeep across the vast savanna plain, both of them humming and crooning away as if Andy and I weren’t in the vehicle with them.
The ornery bull elephant never made another appearance during our daily half-mile tromp on the trail from the camp to the river, but his trumpeted warnings continued to ring in my head.
By our last day, I was almost used to the snuffling and snorting of animals milling about, checking out our tent at night, though their inquisitive noises invaded my sleep. Giant animals paraded through my dreamscape bellowing and roaring.
Our five-day safari was over. Nchaama, who I continued to view as a coward, escorted us one last time to the riverbank and waved goodbye. The dinghy floated us across the river, avoiding the floating rumps and heads of the hippos, where Josef waited in the jeep to drive us to the airstrip. He lingered with us in the shade of a lone Shepherd’s Tree while he and Galen drew animals in the red dust with a crooked stick as we waited for the plane to appear on the horizon. A bruised silence hung between Andy and me in the stiflingly hot, dry air.
As we boarded the plane, Josef hugged Galen and said, “You must return. I will show you how to be a safari guide and you will teach me the animal songs.” He then lifted Galen up to me before the pilot closed the door. I sat a few seats away from Andy. The Cessna’s propellers spun faster and faster as we lofted into the relentless blue sky. From the tiny plane window the landscape shimmered and undulated in the heat. Below us, the awkward-legged giraffes scattered in all directions.

Name
Appearance
Sker Buffaloes greatly resemble abnormally large water buffaloes but with several differences. They possess incredibly large horns that have forked into at least three branches. The Sker Buffaloes also have algae covering much of their bodies, probably due to their habit of being submerged underwater. Their backs are shaped like coral, and this physical feature allows them to camouflage with their surroundings.
Roar
The roars of Sker Buffaloes are mainly loud bellows, much like many large real world herbivores.
Personality
Sker Buffaloes are relatively passive herbivores that like to stay close to water, but they can be very aggressive if threatened or provoked.
Origins
The Sker Buffalo is a super-biological bovid that is largely amphibious in its grazing patterns.
Initial phylogenetic studies show DNA ancestry with the Asian water buffalo. Inhabiting lakes and large river systems, the Sker Buffalo is equipped with a remarkable evolutionary advantage: the beast's back and flanks are fused with hard bony structures and dense green foliage. Sustaining its florafaunal biology is a pulmonary heart divided into four chambers, two of which pump blood through the musculatory system, and two of which pump highly oxygenated chlorophyll to the plant-life growing from its body.
The Sker Buffalo has evolved the ability to exist in a submerged state beneath the water for days at a time. Its atoll-like back sitting above the surface to offer the perfect camouflage. They say no man is an island. This creature defies that principle.
Though largely docile, the Sker Buffalo is highly dangerous if threatened. Two huge horns fused to the base of the skull form an imposing bone shield and a deadly offensive weapon when charging.
History
Conrad, Weaver, Brooks, San and Slivko encountered a Sker Buffalo emerging out from a river. Another individual was killed and eaten by a Skullcrawler. Weaver then tried to rescue another that got trapped underneath the wreckage of a helicopter, but it was eventually freed by Kong.
Abilities
Amphibious Lifestyle
Sker Buffaloes are amphibious bovines that can stay submerged underwater for days.
Camouflage
The coral-shaped surface on the Sker Buffaloes' backs allows them to blend in with their environment.
Durability and Stamina
A Sker Buffalo was injured when it was trapped under the wreckage of a fallen helicopter until Kong released it. The Sker Buffalo was shown to got up and walk away with some ease, possibly to its the herd. It's possible that Sker Buffaloes have great endurance, since herding animals usually have large amount of stamina.
Physical Strength
Sker Buffaloes can use their massive horns as powerful and dangerous weapons against anything that they perceive as threats. Judging by their size and strength, Sker Buffaloes weren't strong enough to defend themselves from Skullcrawlers.
Speed
Sker Buffaloes are said to be able to charge at their enemies, but it is unknown how fast they can run, but they should be fast enough to do a significant amount of damage. However, they are usually slow-moving and are easy prey for Skullcrawlers. |
Accused show no remorse, yawn in court
Both the accused — Chand Abdul Sattar Shaikh and Vijay Jadhav — showed no remorse in the court when they were produced by the police seeking their custody.
The police had brought Shaikh in the court much before the court hours to avoid security issues. During the hearing, Shaikh looked lost and paid no heed to the court proceedings, and was seen yawning when the public prosecutor sought his custody. Jadhav, who was produced by afternoon, also looked disinterested in the arguments made by the police.
During the hearing, the police caught a lawyer attempting to click a picture of Jadhav, following which they covered his face with a black cloth and also seized the advocate’s cellphone.
Anticipating a law and order problem, the Mumbai police had cordoned off the area around the Bhoiwada court in central Mumbai where the two accused arrested were produced.
The court premises were fortified and no one other than litigants and lawyers who had cases listed in the court were allowed to enter. The reporters were also made to stand outside the court premises until the hearing for Shaikh’s remand began. The police had restricted the entry of the reporters in the court until the journalists fought to gain access. |

Most critical to China in entering this war,
this report continues, is the “grave”
national security threat it faces from both the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh)
and Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT)—and as, perhaps, best described by the
noted award winning American military-intelligence journalist Seymour M. Hersh who in
his latest article warned of this threat by stating:
[Ed. Note: Western governments and their
intelligence services actively campaign against the information found in these
reports so as not to alarm their citizens about the many catastrophic Earth
changes and events to come, a stance that the Sisters of Sorcha Faal
strongly disagrees with in believing that it is every human beings right to
know the truth.Due to our missions
conflicts with that of those governments, the responses of their ‘agents’ against
us has been a longstanding misinformation/misdirection campaign designed to
discredit and which is addressed in the report “Who Is Sorcha
Faal?”.] |
Some people have a Zen garden, I have my Emacs configuration.
I am far from being an Emacs or Elisp expert, but I love investing time into fiddling with the editor, note-taker and task manager of my choice.
I created this documentation in order to become more structured in my approach - and also learn bit about literate programming. I decided to invest even more time into this and move all my setup into .org files. These files serve as source of the actual Elisp configuration files as well as for this documentation and even generate some fancy illustrations.
Of course, this is a work in progress. |
Q:
What are my options for estimating probabilities of success/failure?
So, I want to estimate the probability that a student will succeed or fail in a particular major (suppose success means in this case to graduate with that major) based on data from that student's application. I have a lot of records of past students' application data and success.
I am aware that I could try logistic regression, but I would like to know all my options, including methods which allow more easily for non-linearities.
If I were just trying to classify incoming students, I think I would try an SVM model. But I don't know how easy it is to adapt that method to the task of estimating probabilities.
EDIT:
Much of the data is categorical. Often binary. Some features are real numbers / integers, as well.
A:
You could consider classification trees. You don't say what software you are using, but there are several ways to do this in R, which is free. I personally have used the party() package with good results, but that's not to say other packages aren't just as good.
A classification tree is often very good at finding various interactions. You wind up with different sets of the IVs and the probability of "success" on your DV for different combinations.

Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A-induced inhibition of human leukocyte elastase: an artifact.
Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A), was reported to be an inhibitor in many in vitro systems. Since it was shown that the inhibition of coagulation and complement activity attributed to PAPP-A was in fact due to a contamination by heparin occurring during the purification process, we undertook the present study to see whether the reported PAPP-A-induced inhibition of human leukocyte elastase (HLE) could also be attributed to heparin contamination. PAPP-A was purified from maternal pregnancy EDTA plasma by a method which was previously shown to eliminate contaminating heparin: this preparation was inactive in the HLE assay. But PAPP-A isolated by heparin-Sepharose chromatography, or a PAPP-A-free washing of the heparin-Sepharose column were both inhibitors of HLE. Furthermore the inactive PAPP-A preparation, when incubated with the PAPP-A-free washing of the heparin-Sepharose column, yielded a high molecular weight preparation which inhibited HLE. It is concluded that PAPP-A is not an inhibitor of HLE and that the inhibition of HLE previously attributed to PAPP-A was due to contaminating heparin. |
[Deep brain stimulation for essential tremor. Consensus recommendations of the German Deep Brain Stimulation Association].
In Germany, deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the thalamic ventralis intermedius nucleus (VIM) is licensed for treatment of essential tremor in cases unresponsive to pharmacotherapy. Especially a bothersome hand tremor interfering with activities of daily living will improve, whereas head, tongue or vocal tremor shows less response. DBS was proven to be superior to lesional thalamotomy with better functional outcome and less adverse effects. The consensus statement presented here reflects the current recommendations of the German Deep Brain Stimulation Study Group for inclusion and exclusion criteria as well as for peri-, intra- and postoperative neurological management. |
Progress in understanding preferential detection of live cells using viability dyes in combination with DNA amplification.
The ideal scenario in most applications of microbial diagnostics is that only viable cells are detected. Bacteria were traditionally considered viable when they could be cultured, whereas today's viability concept tends to be alternatively based on the presence of some form of metabolic activity, a positive energy status, responsiveness, detection of RNA transcripts that tend to degrade rapidly after cell death, or of an intact membrane. The latter criterion, although conservative, was the focus of one of the most successful recent approaches to detect viable cells in combination with DNA amplification techniques. The technology is based on sample treatment with the photoactivatable, and cell membrane impermeant, nucleic acid intercalating dyes ethidium monoazide (EMA) or propidium monoazide (PMA) followed by light exposure prior to extraction of DNA and amplification. Light activation of DNA-bound dye molecules results in irreversible DNA modification and subsequent inhibition of its amplification. Sample pretreatment with viability dyes has so far been mainly used in combination with PCR (leading to the term viability PCR, v-PCR), and increasingly with isothermal amplification method. The principle is not limited to bacteria, but has also successfully been applied to fungi, protozoa and viruses. Despite the success of the method, some practical limitations have been identified, especially when applied to environmental samples. In part they can be minimized by choice of experimental parameters and conditions adequate for a particular sample. This review summarizes current knowledge and presents aspects which are important when designing experiments employing viability dyes. |
OIC Sensor Support
------------------
The sensor framework provides support for an OIC enabled application to
host the sensor devices as OIC resources. The sensor framework provides
the following OIC support:
- Creates OIC resources for each sensor device that is enabled in the
application. It creates an OIC discoverable and observable resource
for each sensor type that the sensor device is configured for.
- Processes CoAP GET requests for the sensor OIC resources. It reads
the sensor data samples, encodes the data, and sends back a response.
The sensor package (``hw/sensor``) defines the following syscfg settings
for OIC support:
- ``SENSOR_OIC``: This setting specifies whether to enable sensor OIC
server support. The setting is enabled by default. The sensor package
includes the ``net/oic`` package for the OIC support when this
setting is enabled. The ``OC_SERVER`` syscfg setting that specifies
whether to enable OIC server support in the ``net/oic`` package must
also be enabled.
- ``SENSOR_OIC_OBS_RATE``: Sets the OIC server observation rate.
An application defines an OIC application initialization handler that
sets up the OIC resources it supports and calls the ``oc_main_init()``
function to initialize the OC server. The application must call the
``sensor_oic_init()`` function from the the OIC application
initialization handler. The ``sensor_oic_init()`` function creates all
the OIC resources for the sensors and registers request callbacks to
process CoAP GET requests for the sensor OIC resources.
See the :doc:`Enabling OIC Sensor Data Monitoring
Tutorials <../../../tutorials/sensors/sensor_oic_overview>` to run and
develop sample OIC sensor server applications.

Q:
a checkmark on top of thumbnail for ios
In Apple's Photos app, after one select each image there is a check-mark appear at the corner. Is this a build-in function of iOS SDK? Or this is a diy if one wants to accomplish to same effect.
A:
This looks like a custom UIView implementation. I'd venture to guess that it's an extension of UIImageView (or even a UIView container) that adds a subview containing the check mark when it detects a tap.

The Chinese government has reportedly ordered Video streaming websites in the country to stop showing four popular American TV shows.
A spokeswoman for a leading video site, Youku, said that on Sunday it had received notification not to show sitcom The Big Bang Theory, political and legal drama The Good Wife, crime drama NCIS and legal drama The Practice, News.au reported.
However, she added that the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television didn't give a reason for its order.
The move is a glaring reminder of the increasing government control on the online industry, which otherwise enjoys far more freedom than the country's state television and cinemas when it comes to showing foreign productions.
Meanwhile, an unnamed senior manager at another site said that it received a surprise order to "clean the website" last week, the report added. |
