Throughout his entire campaign, and even after his election, President-elect Donald J. Trump has acted as though he knows exactly what it takes to be in the most powerful position in the world. According to former House speaker Newt Gingrich, who is also one of Trump’s top supporters, the president-elect recently admitted to him that he bit off way more than he could chew and is not prepared for the presidency. On Tuesday, Gingrich told USA Today during an interview what the president-elect told him during their meeting at Trump Tower last week: ‘He commented, ‘This is really a bigger job than I thought.’ Which is good. He should think that.’ The former House Speaker continued, saying that as president of the United States: ‘You have war and peace, you have enormous powers and it all comes down to the Oval Office and it all comes down to you.’ Trump is going to be the first president in United States history with absolutely no prior political or military experience. Also, in August, fifty security advisers signed a letter saying Trump would make “a dangerous president,” putting “at risk our country’s national security and well-being” due to his lack of experience. Many Americans also had concerns about The Orange Man’s lack of qualifications, but for some reason voted for him anyway. Gingrich described Trump as “one-third Andrew Jackson in disruption, one-third Theodore Roosevelt in sheer energy, and one-third P.T. Barnum in selling all the time,” and said that the political world has yet to come to reality with the type of change the election of “the most insurgent president in American history” may bring. Perhaps someone should have explained the terms and conditions of Trump’s presidency, in a way in which his tiny brain could comprehend, before he decided to even run for the Oval Office. Maybe then he would have thought twice about being responsible for the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans and possibly even the entire planet. If he thinks his job is tough now, just wait until he’s sworn in. The video below, courtesy of YouTube, is the interview between USA Today and Gingrich. Featured image courtesy of Getty Images
Congestive heart failure and endocardial fibroelastosis caused by chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Endocardial fibroelastosis developed in the heart of a patient who had chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Leukemic infiltrates were found in the endocardial scar tissue, myocardium, coronary arteries, and other viscera. In view of the absence of any other known cause of endocardial fibroelastosis, it is postulated that endocardial fibroelastosis was caused by myocardial leukemic infiltration. This is the first reported case of endocardial fibroelastosis in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

IP over WDM IP over WDM Description This is the first book to focus on IP over WDM optical networks. It not only summarizes the fundamental mechanisms and the recent development and deployment of WDM optical networks but it also details both the network and the software architectures needed to implement WDM enabled optical networks designed to transport IP traffic. The next generation network employing IP over optical networks is quickly emerging not only in the backbone but also in metro and access networks. Fiber optics revolutionizes the telecom and networking industry by offering enormous network capacity to sustain the next generation Internet growth. IP provides the only convergence layer in a global and ubiquitous Internet. So integrating IP and WDM to transport IP traffic over WDM enabled optical networks efficiently and effectively is an urgent yet important task. * Covers hot areas like traffic engineering, MPLS, peer-to-peer computing, IPv6. * Comprehensive overview of history, background and research. * Presents all requirements for a WDM optical network (enabling technologies, optical components, software architecture, management, etc.). * Performance studies and descriptions of experimental WDM optical networks guarantee the practical approach of the book. Technical engineers and network practitioners, designers and analysts, network managers and technical management personnel as well as first year graduate students or senior undergraduate students majoring in networking and/or network control and management will all find this indispensable.

Swearing Prohibited I created this sign to remind everyone that swearing is prohibited on the Internet. Actually, I created it as an experiment in communicating with visual and textual symbols. There are three elements at play here: a red circle, the words “SWEARING PROHIBITED,” and a grawlix (“$@&#!”). When you put those elements together, what message do they make? Last night, I asked a couple of friends at Venture Cafe. Most of my friends were willing to take this sign at face value. Whether or not they agreed with the idea of prohibiting swearing, they felt the sign did convey a sincere message. (In fact, a similar sign containing a grawlix in red circle has appeared in Virginia Beach as part of an anti-profanity campaign.) For me, the sign is hard to look at without laughing because I find it fundamentally hypocritical: it swears! Where do we draw the line between a symbol and the thing it represents? Specifically, do we take “$@&#!” as mere notation for the idea of a swear, or does it make us think and feel as though we’ve just heard someone actually swear? (This question brings to mind a joke by Louis C.K. where he says that the expression “The ‘n’ word” offends him because whenever someone uses that censored phrase, they are forcing him to say the avoided word — nig[BLEEP] — in his own mind.) Now for me, “$@&#!” is so strongly associated with swearing that when I view it in this sign, I become witness to a curse. And then I begin to wonder who’s cursing, and how the curse might relate to the rest of the sign. Is someone cursing because they don’t like the prohibition against swearing? Or do they really, really agree with it? Even if you don’t experience the grawlix as an actual curse, you might notice a mismatch between levels of formality in this sign. SWEARING PROHIBITED sets a tone of severe formality, and yet “$@&#!” is the kind of icon we might see in a comic book. The sign has the same contradiction as a statement like: DO NOT SPEAK COLLOQUIALLY OK? As I worked on the sign, I couldn’t resist the temptation to make an intensified version, which you’ll see below. For a while I thought that what I had come up with was so contradictory that no viewer could take it seriously. And yet, as I stared at this second version, my perceptions shifted. Where it had seemed that the swear words were subverting the circle by shining right through its porous front, now it seemed that those bold and brazen words were still captured inside the circle and still negated by it. Who wins, the circle or the swears? I don’t know: either it’s the most obscene sign I have ever seen, or the most uptight one. As I was finishing the sign, I had a software crash and lost a lot of unsaved work. When that happened, I assure you, gentle reader, I did not say any of the terms herein depicted:

Fate Of Tamron Hall's Show Up In the Air After Harvey Weinstein Scandal Tamron Hall is speaking out about the sexual abuse allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. Hall, who signed a development deal with The Weinstein Company, has been working with her agent to figure out next steps following the scandal. The former Today anchor told The Huffington Post that she called Weinstein immediately after hearing the allegations, "It’s a woman’s worst nightmare to be in a situation where you believe someone more powerful has control over your life," Hall said. "I immediately thought about the women who have suffered in silence and were paralyzed by fear; fear that I’ve seen with domestic violence survivors; fear that I’ve seen when I interviewed women who were raped on their college campuses." Hall has been vocal about domestic violence and sexual assault after her sister was bludgeoned to death by an abusive boyfriend, working with Safe Horizons and Day One to give victims of domestic violence a safe space. The television personality told The Huffington Post that she met Weinstein last February and was unaware of the allegations until she called Weinstein, whose admission left her horrified. Hall, whose Investigation Discover series Deadline: Crime with Tamron Hall focuses on crimes against women, says she hopes survivors can find comfort in those who've spoken out against Weinstein. "I hope today they are comforted by Ashley, Rose, Lauren, Asia, and Mira [some of Weinstein’s accusers], women who from the outside have everything but inside behind the closed doors suffered in silence."

Q: Read value attribute in lightning button in the client js controller I create a bunch of buttons in a table with aura:iteration. Think of it as one per contact per row to act on the record. Here is the button markup inside a td - <lightning:button variant="brand" label="Charge" value="{!s.Id}" onclick="{!c.callMyCallback}" /> Now, how do I access the value attribute for the button in my client js controller callback? event.currentTarget.value is undefined and event.target.value doesn't work either. Any ideas? Thanks. A: Now you can use event.getSource().get("v.value") function to get lightning button value when clicked. From the Salesforce documentation: In the client-side controller, you can use one of the following methods to find out which button was clicked: event.getSource().getLocalId() returns the aura:id of the clicked button. event.getSource().get("v.name") returns the name of the clicked button. A: The solution is to build your own button component, using an Aura.action attribute :) Generic component Button: <aura:component> <aura:attribute name="press" type="Aura.Action" access="global" description="JS controller action to perform when button pressed"/> <aura:attribute name="value" type="String" access="global" description="Button value"/> <button onclick="{!v.press}" value="{!v.value}"> <!-- manage your styles here with some input parameters --> </button> </aura:component> Then u can call it like that from any component: <c:Button value="yourvaluehere" press="{!c.onPushTheButton}" /> Js to get the value from any component controller : onPushTheButton : function(component, event, helper) { var Val = event.target.value; // You'll get 'yourvaluehere' in Val, do whatever u need with it :) } You could also create a Facet component <aura:component> <aura:attribute name="press" type="Aura.Action" access="global" description="JS controller action to perform when button pressed"/> <aura:attribute name="value" type="String" access="global" description="Button value"/> <span onclick="{!v.press}" value="{!v.value}"> {!v.body} </span> </aura:component> that you would call like <c:Button value="yourvaluehere" press="{!c.onPushTheButton}"> <p style="background-color:green;">MyButton,images,whatever u want</p> </c:Button>
Q: How do i access the value within callback function in Mongoose/nodejs? I wrote a function that reads an item from mongoDB using Mongoose, and i want the result to be returned to the caller: ecommerceSchema.methods.GetItemBySku = function (req, res) { var InventoryItemModel = EntityCache.InventoryItem; var myItem; InventoryItemModel.findOne({'Sku' : req.query.sku}, function (err, item) { // the result is in item myItem = item; //return item doesn't work here!!!! }); //the value of "myItem" is undefined because nodejs's non-blocking feature return myItem; }; However as you can see, the result is only valid in the callback function of "findOne". I only need the value of "item" to be returned to the caller function, instead doing anything processing in the callback function. Is there any way to do this? Thank you very much! A: Because you're doing an asynchronous call in the function, you'll need to add a callback argument to the GetItemBySku method rather than returning the item directly. ecommerceSchema.methods.GetItemBySku = function (req, res, callback) { var InventoryItemModel = EntityCache.InventoryItem; InventoryItemModel.findOne({'Sku' : req.query.sku}, function (err, item) { if (err) { return callback(err); } callback(null, item) }); }; Then when you call GetItemBySku in your code, the value will be returned in the callback function. For example: eCommerceObject.GetItemBySku(req, res, function (err, item) { if (err) { console.log('An error occurred!'); } else { console.log('Look, an item!') console.log(item) } });

Fans and passers by came in their hundreds to see the stars being interviewed as well as listen to music and see the official trailer on the big screen. We asked the public what they thought of the trailer, who they came out to see and what was the highlight of the evening.
The many roles of the highly interactive HSV protein ICP27, a key regulator of infection. Human herpes viruses cause an array of illnesses ranging from cancers for Epstein?Barr virus and Kaposi?s sarcoma-associated herpes virus, to painful skin lesions, and more rarely, keratitis and encephalitis for HSV. All herpes viruses encode a multifunctional protein, typified by HSV ICP27, which plays essential roles in viral infection. ICP27 functions in all stages of mRNA biogenesis from transcription, RNA processing and export through to translation. ICP27 has also been implicated in nuclear protein quality control, cell cycle control, activation of stress signaling pathways and prevention of apoptosis. ICP27 interacts with many proteins and it binds RNA. This article focuses on how ICP27 performs its many roles and highlights similarities with its homologs, which could be targets for antiviral intervention.

We are used to identifying risk factors, or predisposing factors, for outcomes of interest, whether those outcomes are negative or positive, using the tools of statistical modeling. We are far less accustomed to making predictions of outcomes for specific individuals or testing the accuracy of those predictions. In this commentary, we consider this more difficult task and discuss, in this context, why statistics has such difficulty talking about individuals, even as it easily informs us about populations.

Construction of a generalized simulator for multi-cellular organisms and its application to SMAD signal transduction. In this paper, we report development of a generalized simulation system based on ordinary differential equations for multi-cellular organisms, and results of the analysis on a Smad signal transduction cascade. The simulator implements intra-cellular and extra-cellular molecular processes, such as protein diffusion, ligand-receptor reaction, biochemical reaction, and gene expression. It simulates the spatio-temporal patterning in various biological phenomena for the single and multi-cellular organisms. In order to demonstrate the usefulness of the simulator, we constructed a model of Drosophila's Smad signal transduction, which includes protein diffusion, biochemical reaction and gene expression. The results suggest that the presence of negative feedback mechanism in the Smad pathway functions to improve the frequency response of the cascade against changes in the signaling.
Rudd’s tears before bedtime While Tony Abbott announced in Sunday’s videogram that the adults were back in charge, the first real business day of the 44th Parliament more closely resembled a first day at primary school. Wobbling trainer wheels, name-calling, and testing the limits of the yard duty teacher were all on show, ending with a spectacular dummy spit – and tears – later in the day. Kevin Rudd’s emotional resignation from politics last night ensured the news of the day’s business would be relegated to second place, but it wouldn’t have been a fitting first day in the schoolyard if it didn’t conclude with someone crying in frustration or exhaustion. Rudd declared it was finally time to give back to his family who had supported him over the years. The announcement met with a standing ovation and acclamation… though many will be relieved to see him gone. Before the climactic ending, the day had been jam-packed with new legislation, procedural skirmishes and petty point scoring. The inaugural Question Time presented the first real opportunity for Labor to hold the Coalition Government to account under the collective gaze of the parliamentary press gallery. No-one knew who would show a natural aptitude and who would wobble. The new Speaker, Bronwyn Bishop, had an unexpectedly shaky start, ignoring Abbott’s concession on Monday that his new moniker for Bill Shorten would not be appropriate parliamentary language. In ruling that “Electricity Bill” could be used because it was a ‘descriptor’ and not a name Bishop failed an early test, if not of her impartiality, at least of her determination to raise the standards of parliamentary discourse. The Speaker’s precedent was quickly tested in Question Time. Although Adam Bandt prefaced his question with the observation that the Greens had taken to calling Abbott “Typhoon Tony”, Madam Speaker did not demur. Undoubtedly Labor will also test the boundaries of Bishop’s tolerance on this. While the new manager of Opposition Business Tony Burke clearly swotted up on parliamentary practice over the break, other recently ex-ministers had trouble grappling with the finer detail during Question Time. Several reasonable points of order were rebuffed by the Speaker for not being presented with the relevant clause of The Practice, as Bishop herself was famous for doing. Deputy Opposition Leader Tanya Plibersek, whose repeated attempts to raise points of order were meek and unfocussed, will have to sharpen her game if she is to have any impact with this tactic. The Government used the first Question Time to showcase the breadth of their agenda. One by one, new Ministers strode to the dispatch box to outline how they were righting the previous government’s wrongs, with Hockey likening Labor to a bad tenant who had had trashed the joint and was obstructing the clean up. Curiously, the Opposition took a similar approach, peppering a range of questions at Abbott, Hockey and Immigration Minister Scott Morrison instead of pursuing one line of inquiry at depth. First it was climate action and the scrapping of the carbon price, then the need for the Government to justify raising the debt ceiling, and finally the asylum seeker no-information policy. History has shown that sustained questioning of one minister tends to bear more fruit than a scattergun approach. The Coalition looked self-assured, as one would expect of a party that had been returned to government with a strong result after only two terms in the wilderness. Abbott’s determination to keep former Howard ministers in his own ministerial lineup paid dividends, with most demonstrating workmanlike oratory skills and the capacity to reel out the approved slogans (toxic taxes, the boats are stopping, who can you trust?) while being berated from the Opposition benches. Health Minister Peter Dutton was the weakest performer, at one point calling the former Minister for Health “nasty Tanya”, which he then guiltily withdrew even before the Speaker had directed him to do so. Question Time ended with no real sense that the Opposition had identified the strongest line of attack. There were looks of relief on ministerial faces that they had survived their first day. And a growing realisation that the Speaker may not live up to the expectations of impartiality she had so recently created. Overall, the Abbott Government got what it wanted out of its first ‘working day’: an opportunity to showcase its wares to the Australian people and limited scrutiny from the Opposition. In a moment of biting candour during the inaugural Question Time, Joe Hockey told the vanquished opposite him “this is your best day in opposition – trust me.” Hockey might be right, but it’s going to take a better day than yesterday from the Opposition for Australian democracy to be fairly served. This is the first of my regular posts on federal politics for The Hoopla.

Brothers Brick contributor Ralph Savelsberg built this pretty cool model of a Camaro - but wait until you see what makes it so amazing. You see, it's not just a Camaro - it's a fully functioning, transforming replica of Transformers' Bumblebee: It's amazing that Savelsberg not only made both the car and robot forms of Bumblee look so good in Lego, but that the model fully transforms as well, instead of being two separate builds. Man, Lego fans are seriously clever people. You can see more of Ralph's Bumblebee (complete with a breakdown of the model's transformation process) and his other Lego creations - including a spectacular model of Blade Runner's Police Spinner - over at his Flickr page.

Modern computer programs are typically written in a high-level programming language. A high-level programming language allows data structures and algorithms in a computer program to be expressed in a form that can be easily read and understood by a human programmer. A special software tool, called a “compiler,” can translate a computer program written in a high-level programming language into a set of low-level machine instructions that can be executed by a computer's microprocessor. In the context of this translation, the program written in the high-level programming language is called the “source code.” The set of low-level machine instructions is called “object code.” In practice, a program typically includes multiple source code files from which a number of object files can be derived. These multiple object files and various libraries that include standard routines can be linked (i.e., combined) by a “linker” to create a single executable program. The executable program can then be executed on a computer. As modern computer programs grow larger and more complex, the sequencing and placement of machine instructions in an executable program greatly affect the efficiency and speed of the program's execution. Modern compilers often include various optimization options that users can selectively enable during program compilation to produce better performing object code. The scope of code optimization can be intra-procedural (i.e., within a single procedure or code block) or inter-procedural (i.e., across multiple procedures or even multiple source code files). Common optimization techniques include loop optimization, data flow optimization, dead code elimination, inline expansion, constant propagation, and so on.
Q: NancyFX Functional Testing with Autofac I've implemented Autofac as my DI Container of choice in place of TinyIoC which is the default in Nancy. I've got the API working, and I can easily connect to it via the browser, however my functional tests are failing. They're failing because I'm trying to use the Nancy Browser to setup the tests, but it requires the TinyIoC Container (which isn't there). Is there a simple way to extend/override the Browser to take an Autofac container instead of the TinyIoC one? Alternatively (and probably better), is there a Nancy.Testing Browser that "can" use a different container? SetUp : System.InvalidOperationException : Something went wrong when trying to satisfy one of the dependencies during composition, make sure that you've registered all new dependencies in the container and inspect the innerexception for more details. ----> Nancy.TinyIoc.TinyIoCResolutionException : Unable to resolve type: Nancy.NancyEngine ----> Nancy.TinyIoc.TinyIoCResolutionException : Unable to resolve type: Nancy.Routing.DefaultRequestDispatcher ----> Nancy.TinyIoc.TinyIoCResolutionException : Unable to resolve type: Nancy.Routing.DefaultRouteResolver ----> Nancy.TinyIoc.TinyIoCResolutionException : Unable to resolve type: Nancy.Routing.RouteCache ----> Nancy.TinyIoc.TinyIoCResolutionException : Unable to resolve type: TimeTracker.Web.Api.UserModule ----> Nancy.TinyIoc.TinyIoCResolutionException : Unable to resolve type: TimeTracker.Services.IUserService As you can see, TinyIoC Cannot resolve IUserService. Nancy.TinyIoc.TinyIoCResolutionException : Unable to resolve type: TimeTracker.Services.IUserService This is because I'm not registering ANYTHING with TinyIoC... Instead I'm registering it with Autofac. [TestFixtureSetUp] public void Setup() { _browser = new Browser(with => { with.Module<UserModule>(); // forcing me to use TinyIoCContainer with.ApplicationStartup((x, pipelines) => { var container = BootStrapper.ConfigureContainer(new ContainerBuilder().Build()); var userValidator = container.Resolve<IUserValidator>(); var basicAuthConfig = new BasicAuthenticationConfiguration(userValidator, "TimeTra.ca"); pipelines.EnableBasicAuthentication(basicAuthConfig); pipelines.OnError.AddItemToEndOfPipeline( (context, exception) => CustomErrorResponse.FromException(exception)); // Setup a clean database var migrationRunner = new MigrationRunner(container.Resolve<IDbProvider>()); migrationRunner.DropDatabase(); migrationRunner.CreateDatabase(); BootStrapper.RunMigrations(container); SeedData.SetupFixtureDataInDatabase(container.Resolve<IServiceLocator>()); }); }); } private Browser _browser; A: If you want to use your Autofac bootstrapper when testing you need to use the Browser(INancyBootstrapper bootstrapper, Action<BrowserContext> defaults = null) constructor and explicitly specify an instance of your bootstrapper. The problem with this approach is that it will be hard for you to "replace" components for testing purposes, i.e. using mocks etc., that's why the ConfigurableBootstrapper exists. I'm also not quite sure how it will affect module discovery. With the ConfigurableBootstrapper you explicitly say which modules you want to use along with the other services.
The free energy principle for action and perception: A mathematical review The ‘free energy principle’ (FEP) has been suggested to provide a unified theory of the brain, integrating data and theory relating to action, perception, and learning. The theory and implementation of the FEP combines insights from Helmholtzian ‘perception as inference’, machine learning theory, and statistical thermodynamics. Here, we provide a detailed mathematical evaluation of a suggested biologically plausible implementation of the FEP that has been widely used to develop the theory. Our objectives are (i) to describe within a single article the mathematical structure of this implementation of the FEP; (ii) provide a simple but complete agent-based model utilising the FEP and (iii) to disclose the assumption structure of this implementation of the FEP to help elucidate its significance for the brain sciences.
Iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis in bacteria: Mechanisms of cluster assembly and transfer. Iron-sulfur [Fe-S] clusters are ubiquitous ancient prosthetic groups that are required to sustain fundamental life processes. Formation of intracellular [Fe-S] clusters does not occur spontaneously but requires a complex biosynthetic machinery. Different types of [Fe-S] cluster assembly systems have been discovered. All of them have in common the requirement of a cysteine desulfurase and the participation of [Fe-S] scaffold proteins. The purpose of this review is to discuss various aspects of the molecular mechanisms of [Fe-S] cluster assembly in living organisms: (i) mechanism of sulfur donor enzymes, namely the cysteine desulfurases; (ii) mechanism by which clusters are preassembled on scaffold proteins and (iii) mechanism of [Fe-S] cluster transfer from scaffold to target proteins.

Cockatiels are often quite social and sweet which makes the little parrots wonderful companions to be around and interact with. Most of the colorful birds whistle sounds, rather than talk or imitate speech, and their mimicry skills are off the charts! They can copy the sound of things like a dog barking, alarms, ringtones, thunder, different birds chirping, even a toilet flush, with remarkable accuracy. Whether you happen to be a devoted lover of birds or not, when an extremely talented and adorable one comes along you can always take a moment to stop and appreciate it. The cute gray and white feathered cockatiel in this clip is definitely one of the more gifted birds you'll ever come across and his whistle is right on tune. The friendly looking bird is quite the entertainer and loves to sing along with his human companion whenever he plays the piano. Check them out now and have a listen because the little fella has impeccable whistling skills and really sounds amazing! The pair are performing the theme song from the 80s hit Japanese movie My Neighbor Totoro, an animated fantasy film that has become a true classic. The award winning movie is culturally iconic and is now considered one of the greatest animated films ever made. As you can see and hear, the sweet cockatiel knows how to whistle up a storm and carries a tune a lot better than most people can. It's remarkable how on point he is! In the end, the best thing about this entire video is the fact that the friendly bird seems to be having so much fun. His owner really keeps him engaged and what better way to spend time than making beautiful music together!
Proteasome inhibitors induce apoptosis in glucocorticoid-resistant chronic lymphocytic leukemic lymphocytes. Our previous work showed that the nuclear scaffold (NS) protease is required for apoptosis of both thymocytes and chronic lymphocytic leukemic (CLL) lymphocytes. Because partial sequencing of one of the subunits of the NS protease revealed homology to the proteasome, we tested the effects of classical proteasome inhibitors on apoptosis in CLL cells. Here we report that proteasome inhibition caused high levels of DNA fragmentation in all patients analyzed, including those resistant to glucocorticoids or nucleoside analogs, in vitro. Proteasome inhibitor-induced DNA fragmentation was associated with activation of caspase/ICE family cysteine protease(s) and was blocked by the caspase antagonist, zVADfmk. Analysis of the biochemical mechanisms involved showed that proteasome inhibition resulted in mitochondrial dysregulation leading to the release of cytochrome c and a drop in mitochondrial transmembrane potential (triangle upPsi). These changes were associated with inhibition of NFkappaB, a proteasome-regulated transcription factor that has been implicated in the suppression of apoptosis in other systems. Together, our results suggest that drugs that target the proteasome might be capable of bypassing resistance to conventional chemotherapy in CLL.
The Stoner Mom Strain Reviews: Cherry Diesel, Mom’s New Favorite Weed Cherry Diesel HYBRID- Sativa Dominant Cherry Diesel is quickly advancing its way in my heart due to its major mood lift. For a depressive like me it is really something when a strain is able to pull you out of a funk almost instantly. With an appealing fruitiness blending nicely with the diesel taste, Cherry hits smooth and doesn’t leave the room smelling like cat pee. Definitely put this baby through the grinder a couple of times and rejoice at the almost powdery result from these dense nuggets. Like the renowned Sour Diesel, Cherry Diesel is an effective treatment for pain, depression and anxiety. It provides an almost instant energy boost for me, making me get up and bounce around the house joyfully cleaning or starting ambitious new projects. Euphoria and chattiness reign supreme with this strain, making it a fabulous choice for social settings. This is a social high for the most stoic of introverts. Fast acting, with a relatively short duration (for me). There is no couch lock or crash after it wears off and is a good choice for daytime use. A very high functioning high.
Q: Change the colors of the Sphinx Read The Docs theme? I'm building documentation for my API library and I'm having readthedocs.io host the documentation, and is backed with Sphinx. I have the Read The Docs theme installed for Sphinx using pip install, and the Read the Docs website currently has the documentation running. I would like to change the colors of my documentation. I have done some searching through their GitHub repository GitHub.com and have seen some talk that editing the sass files. However, I can't seem to find where these files are located. Any help is appreciated! A: I believe the canonical way is to create a _static folder, include CSS files in that, and then reference that CSS in your templates with an include in the _templates folder. To demonstrate this, you can try a simple override of the layout.html file: first, create _templates in your docs folder if it doesn't already exist, then create a file there named layout.html. Populate that with the following: {% extends "!layout.html" %} {% block footer %} {{ super() }} <style> /* Sidebar header (and topbar for mobile) */ .wy-side-nav-search, .wy-nav-top { background: #00ff00; } /* Sidebar */ .wy-nav-side { background: #ff0000; } </style> {% endblock %} Once you've rebuilt your docs, you should see a garish side-bar and header. (I used a similar technique with our Sphinx / Read The Docs theme implementation. View source etc. to see which bits we override.) A: You can change the theme colors by adding a custom CSS file to _static. To actually have Sphinx use that file, add this to your conf.py: def setup(app): app.add_css_file('custom.css') Sample CSS (custom.css) to change the sidebar color to dark-green (based on @afit's answer): .wy-side-nav-search, .wy-nav-top { background: #0b750a; } A: If you only want to change the color of the navigation header, you can do that by using the html_theme_options variable in conf.py. There is parameter called 'style_nav_header_background'. https://sphinx-rtd-theme.readthedocs.io/en/stable/configuring.html#theme-options

Q: Cannot get AuthToken for custom account from different app I have two apps that work with a same account type. I want below page to be shown when the user opens the second app for first time and one account exists: But nothing happens when I run this code: final AccountManagerFuture<Bundle> future = mAccountManager.getAuthToken(account, authTokenType, null, this, null, null); new Thread(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { try { Bundle bnd = future.getResult(); final String authtoken = bnd.getString(AccountManager.KEY_AUTHTOKEN); showMessage((authtoken != null) ? "SUCCESS!\ntoken: " + authtoken : "FAIL"); Log.d("udinic", "GetToken Bundle is " + bnd); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); showMessage(e.getMessage()); } } }).start(); The above code works correctly when I run it from the app that has the authenticator. When I run below code instead, system generates a notification that when I click on it, the above picture appears. final AccountManagerFuture<Bundle> future = mAccountManager .getAuthToken(account, authTokenType, null, true, null, handler); Clicking allow button returns the AuthToken correctly. However I want to see the grant permission page (above picture) when calling getAuthToken, not by clicking on notification. How can I do that? A: I used this method instead of previous one and now I see the confirmation dialog: accountManager.getAuthToken(account, AUTH_TOKEN_TYPE_FULL_ACCESS, null, true, new AccountManagerCallback<Bundle>() { @Override public void run(AccountManagerFuture<Bundle> future) { try { Bundle bundle = future.getResult(); String authToken = bundle.getString(AccountManager.KEY_AUTHTOKEN); } catch (OperationCanceledException | IOException | AuthenticatorException e) { } } }, null); Note that the second app must have different signature. If both apps have a same signature, no confirmation is required and authToken will retrieve.

A nationwide recall has been issued for Linke's Central Meats mettwurst and pepperoni. SA Health said people with Linke's garlic, plain and brandy mettwursts, as well as Linke's pepperoni, should throw them out or return them to a store for a refund. It said although there had been no reports of illness, the safety of the manufacturing process could not be verified. According to the Barossa company's website it makes products from traditional family recipes dating back to the 19th century. It has a store in Nuriootpa and its products are sold at Foodland supermarkets, the Loxton IGA and independent smallgoods stores.

Q: How to use FPU View of Delphi to find the program bug? I met some questions in the development of Delphi ,but I don't know where`s the problem in. To what extent is the FPU View helpful to find an error and how to use it. A: FPU stands for Floating Point Unit. FPU View is the list of the "mathematical coprocessor" registers, and is usually used together with CPU View (Central Processor Unit, AKA processor). This is definitelly not for beginners, nor for people which do not know PC assembly language. Don't worry - I don't believe you will ever need to use these views, anyhow. Just stick with the "regular" debugger views.

Q: Compare two xml files using Junit I am writing a JUnit test case which want to test whether a particular file is added with some content or not. In that case, I want to get the instance of the file before modification and another file instance of the same file after modification and want to check whether both are not equal. how to do that in Java Junit ? A: There are tools that exist for this purpose, e.g. http://xmlunit.sourceforge.net/ XMLUnit can ignore whitespace and formatting which I would imagine are immaterial and will also handle comparing <stuff/> and <stuff></stuff>
Data storage systems include provisions for housing and managing one or more physical storage devices and making storage space on the installed storage devices available to one or more data-connected user computers. A storage system that includes multiple storage devices is sometimes referred to as a storage “array.” A storage array may have bays or slots in which storage devices can be installed. A storage array may support one or more types of storage device (e.g., magnetic disk drives, optical disk drives, solid state storage such as flash and USB drives, tape drives, etc.). The DROBO™ data storage system available from Data Robotics, Inc., Santa Clara, Calif., is an example of a storage array having slots for multiple storage devices (specifically disk drives). Typically, the cumulative storage space of all the storage devices (less space used for overhead and redundancy) is made to appear to the user computers as a single virtual disk. Storage systems control the installed storage devices and manage the storage capacity provided by the installed storage devices. For example, some data storage systems may store data redundantly on two or more of the installed storage devices, in case one of the storage devices fails. Auxiliary applications, sometimes referred to as “dashboard” applications, provide user interfaces to data storage systems. For example, a dashboard application may provide a graphical display, such as a pie chart, that indicates how the storage space on the storage devices is currently being used, i.e., the amount of storage space that is currently free, reserved for expansion, used for protection (data redundancy) and used for overhead. A dashboard application may be executed by a user computer that is connected to a data storage system via a wired or wireless computer network, a universal serial bus (USB) cable, or the like. Many such data storage systems are designed to be used by unsophisticated users. For example, a data storage system may be configured such that storage devices may be added to or removed from the data storage system by a user without use of tools, without powering down the data storage system or the user computer, and without the user interacting with any management software. A user may increase the total amount of storage space in the data storage system simply by sliding an additional storage device into an available slot or by replacing an existing storage device with a larger capacity storage device. Similarly, a user may replace a failed storage device with a replacement storage device. Software in the data storage system automatically detects the insertion and removal of storage devices. In response, the software formats newly inserted storage devices, copies data to storage devices that have been inserted to replace failed storage devices, etc. Thus, the user may treat the data storage system as a storage “appliance,” without understanding or managing its operation. The user may treat physical storage devices as commodities having stated capacities. Despite being able to be treated as simple replaceable commodities, storage devices are actually quite complex devices that include sophisticated electronic and/or electromechanical subsystems, including processors and firmware. Occasionally, a manufacturer inadvertently releases a batch of flawed storage devices. For example, a flaw may involve a mismatch between firmware installed on a disk drive and an electronic or mechanical component in the disk drive. Such a disk drive may fail or it may cause other problems if used in a data storage system. Unfortunately, unsophisticated users of data storage systems typically do not monitor release notes or check for product recalls issued by storage device manufacturers. Such a user is not likely to understand the significance of a flaw or the importance of resolving a flaw-related issue with a storage device. Even if a user of a data storage system were to become aware of a flaw in one of his/her storage devices, the user is unlikely to be technically versed enough to resolve the issue, which may involve obtaining revised firmware from the storage device manufacturer and installing the revised firmware in the storage device. Furthermore, data storage systems are typically marketed to users who prefer not to manage their systems. Consequently, issues related to flawed storage devices are likely to go unresolved and may cause catastrophic data loss or other problems within data storage systems.

PSV Eindhoven begin the Champions League season against Barcelona. (Source: AP) PSV Eindhoven begin the Champions League season against Barcelona. (Source: AP) PSV Eindhoven coach Mark van Bommel says his players can fight it out for Barcelona star Lionel Messi’s shirt if they win at the Nou Camp on Tuesday – but they had better not ask him for it at halftime. Van Bommel wants the Dutch league leaders to stay professional as they begin the Champions League season facing the player he called the best in the world. “If tomorrow we get a good result, I don’t care if they fight for Messi’s shirt,” Van Bommel told a news conference on Monday. “That is part of being a professional, to always be concentrating. I know they will ask him for the shirt, but they shouldn’t do it at halftime.” PSV winger Hirving Lozano may one day line up with the Argentine at Barcelona, having revealed the Catalan side were interested in signing him in the close season after he impressed for Mexico at the World Cup. “My agents told me that Barca asked about me and it would be a dream to play here in the future,” he said, “but now the important thing is focusing on PSV and enjoying it as much as possible.” Despite Messi’s exalted status, Barcelona have won only one of the last five Champions Leagues. “It’s hard to explain, I don’t understand it,” said midfielder Philippe Coutinho, who is looking forward to making his debut in the competition for the Catalan club after being cup-tied last season. “It’s hard to watch the game from outside. I always want to play to help, but I couldn’t last season.” Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde said PSV, on paper no match for his side, deserved respect. “I don’t think PSV are one of the softest opponents; I think they’re a good team that attacks well, plays together and has players that can unbalance you,” he said. “Lozano is interesting.” 📣 The Indian Express is now on Telegram.

Q: Neo4j Return a node only if where clause is always true Consider the following Neo4j Database example: Nodes are (Basket) (Booking) and [:IS_BOOKED_IN] Now Booking looks like this: Booking {start: number, end: number} If you book something you choose which basket you want to book it with and the relationship [:IS_BOOKED_IN] gets created between those two. This works perfectly fine. Now I want to check on my next booking if ANY basket is available for the timeframe that I select. Right now I'm doing this in Cypher with this query: MATCH (basket:Basket)-[:IS_BOOKED_IN]->(booking:Booking) WHERE ({start} < booking.start AND {end} < booking.start) OR ({end} > booking.end AND {start} > booking.end) RETURN basket {start} and {end} are numbers As you can see this will work as expected, but only if there is just one booking. As soon as there are more bookings I will get the same basket back, even though it is obviously not available, thus making my query useless. This happens because the query doesn't stop when the WHERE clause fails, instead it takes the same Basket node again and checks the other bookings, which don't fail and in turn give me back the basket.. How can I change this, how can I tell Neo4j to only return the basket to me if the WHERE clause is always true? Or just skip the basket if it fails just once.. Any ideas appreciated, thank you A: You can use a collection, i.e. collect and then the ALL predicate. MATCH (basket:Basket)-[:IS_BOOKED_IN]->(booking:Booking) WITH basket, collect(booking) as bookings WHERE ALL(booking in bookings WHERE ({start} < booking.start AND {end} < booking.start) OR ({end} > booking.end AND {start} > booking.end)) RETURN basket

The only genuine moments of peace in the searing documentary “The Seventh Fire” come at the very beginning: lyrical shots of headlights moving forward on a long stretch of road at daybreak. After that, the director, Jack Pettibone Riccobono, practically grabs viewers by the backs of their necks and shows them the bleak lives of two residents of Pine Point, an Ojibwe village in northern Minnesota on the White Earth Indian Reservation. Rob Brown, a onetime gang leader, proudly shows the camera what he calls his “criminal organization” chest tattoo, and the diluted dope he cooks up. Mr. Brown cuts the hair of his quasi-protégé Kevin, a teenager content to do small-time drug dealing until he can graduate to something bigger — Kevin has a “Scarface” poster hanging in his house. He’s a little unsure just how much he wants a criminal life, though, and he’s estranged from his father, a recovering alcoholic who catches leeches to sell for bait. When Mr. Brown learns he has to return to prison, he organizes a farewell blowout. In one scene, Kevin is shown dealing, and using, with white teenagers from a neighboring town. The movie provides startling, detailed looks at the wrecks drug addicts become. Mr. Brown’s binge during the party begins with wide-eyed excitement, but sputters to a close when he’s a heavy-lidded, barely coherent mess. In the end, he has no clue how to clean up his psychic and physical wreckage. The betrayal of Native Americans by larger forces looms over this powerful movie without ever being explicitly discussed.

External Heavy-Atom Effect via Orbital Interactions Revealed by Single-Crystal X-ray Diffraction. Enhanced spin-orbit coupling through external heavy-atom effect (EHE) has been routinely used to induce room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) for purely organic molecular materials. Therefore, understanding the nature of EHE, i.e., the specific orbital interactions between the external heavy atom and the luminophore, is of essential importance in molecular design. For organic systems, halogens (e.g., Cl, Br, and I) are the most commonly seen heavy atoms serving to realize the EHE-related RTP. In this report, we conduct an investigation on how heavy-atom perturbers and aromatic luminophores interact on the basis of data obtained from crystallography. We synthesized two classes of molecular systems including N-haloalkyl-substituted carbazoles and quinolinium halides, where the luminescent molecules are considered as "base" or "acid" relative to the heavy-atom perturbers, respectively. We propose that electron donation from a π molecular orbital (MO) of the carbazole to the σ* MO of the C-X bond (π/σ*) and n electron donation to a π* MO of the quinolinium moiety (n/π*) are responsible for the EHE (RTP) in the solid state, respectively.
There is a wide variety of services provided through communication systems, particularly mobile communication systems, and new services are planned all the time. More and more of these services are likely to be non-standard services. For example, a large number of value added services, such as call forwarding, are standardized in the GSM system (Global System for Mobile communications), but it seems that these value added services will not be standardized in ‘the third generation mobile communication systems’, such as the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System), but they are produced by using a variety of toolkits or protocols utilizing intelligent network-like control. Examples of these include CAMEL (Customised Applications for Mobile network Enhanced Logic), SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), OSA (Open Service Architecture), Parlay API (Application Protocol Interface), MexE (Mobile station Execution Environment) and SAT (SIM Application Toolkit). The object of the 3GPP AII-IP system, i.e. a UMTS system based on IP technology (Internet Protocol technology) and defined in the 3rd generation partnership project 3GPP, is that services associated with a mobile-terminating call are at least started, i.e. triggered from a call state control function S_CSCF serving the subscriber, whereto an interrogative call state control function I_CSCF routes the call on the basis of the address obtained from a home subscriber server HSS. The interrogative call state control function I_CSCF is the function through which calls terminating at the subscriber are routed. In systems where the signaling and the actual call are routed separately, call routing refers to the routing of signaling. Sometimes, however, a subscriber is not registered in the system, for example because the user equipment of the subscriber is switched off. Thus the subscriber does not have a serving call state control function S_CSCF, nor the control function that would trigger the services associated with a mobile-terminating call, such as services associated with the forwarding of a terminating call. One solution to the above problem is to provide these services by means of the interrogative call state control function I_CSCF. In this solution, the home subscriber server HSS would transmit the subscriber's service information, for example CAMEL subscriber information CSI, as a routing instruction to the interrogative call state control function, when the subscriber is not registered in the network. The problem of this solution is, however, that the I_CSCF should have a complete service interface, such as a CAMEL interface, it should be capable of dynamically triggering call state models and maintaining outgoing legs possibly associated with the service. In other words, the I_CSCF should contain a wide variety of functions. Since the I_CSCF very likely becomes the critical element of the system, it would be preferable that it would be as simple a device as possible, which is provided with only a few functions, so that its performance could be optimized without the above mentioned features required for providing the service.
So, you like to ride your bike all the time, going maybe two to five miles a few times a week. Why not go for a longer ride? Here’s how, with a bit of preparation, you can make sure you survive your trip with your sanity intact. In order to train for a long bike ride, you need a way to keep up with your riding, such as a simple cyclometer. You should be able to find one at a reasonable price. Before your bike ride, map your route with a car, noting landmarks every two and a half and every five miles, then just every five miles for the first twenty-five miles. These landmarks should be places where you can stop for water or a small snack. You should not stop at a landmark for more than ten minutes, nor should you make stops in between your landmarks. Begin with a thorough inspection of your bike, making sure that it is properly adjusted and ready to go. Then put your helmet on and head out to your first two and a half-mile landmark. Once you get there, think about how you are feeling. Are you ready to keep going to the next landmark, or do you need to turn back? Every five days of your training period, increase your distance. Within a month, you should be able to reach a goal of around fifty miles or so. If you travel at beginner’s speed, then you will be riding at a speed of somewhere around eight to ten miles per hour. Therefore, a fifty-mile ride should take you about five or six hours to complete. With every sport, there comes the risk of injury. There are many injuries associated with cycling. Many of these injuries can be easily avoided by following safety precautions and maintaining a constant level of awareness. However, even expert cyclists make mistakes. Common injuries include road rash, bruising, cuts, scrapes, and bug bites. These injuries will heal. There are some cycling injuries that will not heal by themselves. These injuries can be prevented if proper cycling techniques are employed and the cyclist does not train too hard, too quickly. Riders with more experience and multi speed bicycles may be to do a fifty-mile ride in under three hours. In fact, some seasoned riders can do a hundred mile ride in just over four hours. However, rides at this great of a distance should not be attempted unless have an interest in becoming a professional cyclist.

The Robot Plays: Tokaido Hey, gang! In this week’s issue of The Robot Plays, I want to share a game that’s been on my shelf for a little while, unopened. Well… I opened it up and played with a small group last weekend, and it was so charming that I had to share my thoughts on it! Tokaido by Funforge is a brilliantly simple game whose mechanics and design contribute to the contemplative and zen experience this game shoots for. Tokaido’s board is a linear path – there are no winding turns to take or tiles to place; there are no workers to manage or complicated engines to build; there are no dice to roll or resources to harvest. The choice presented to a player on their turn is simple (but extremely important in its simplicity): How far along the path do you want to move? The game is literally about being a sightseeing tourist. Players take the role of a traveler, taking the east sea road in Japan, soaking in as many beautiful vistas, meeting as many travelers, eating as many different dishes, and collecting as many souvenirs as they can on their way to Edo. Because of this beautiful marriage of mechanics and theme, it behooves players to take their time along the path. While moving more quickly along the path will allow a player to beat their opponents to the more desirable spaces, moving slowly across the board will yield a larger collection of cards. What’s more, turn order is solely dependent on who is the furthest behind on the path; so, the player who’s bringing up the rear will always take the next turn – another benefit to moving more slowly. Each type of space grants the player a different type of card or coins (which can be used to buy other cards). Set collection is the name of the game – with different sets conferring different amounts of victory points. The cards themselves are stunning – players collect majestic vista scenes, beautiful souvenirs cards, and delightful encounter cards. Everything about the art and design of this game lends itself so well to the zen-ness of the game: clean white backgrounds, bold brushstrokes, pastel colours, the slowly meandering path across the stretching board, and the (surprisingly welcome) lack of direct player competition. On that last point, players are merely competing over the limited spaces along the path – there aren’t really any interactive cards to speak of, but that’s okay; the game is about going on a solitary journey. The absence of competitive mechanics actually make the game stronger. Going on a journey, collecting souvenirs, cataloging the people with whom you cross paths, and painting the beautiful vistas you see are all a very personal affair. Tokaido is the kind of game you can play with a group of people on a rainy afternoon over a shared meal and lively conversation, or even stretched over a long, lazy day with people taking their turns by themselves to go off and tend to other things. Because this game is so beautiful, it’s a great piece to have sitting out on a table or counter. I’m considering leaving mine out all the time. 😛
Officially recognized faith groups in China are promoting the flying of national flags at religious events amid a push by the Communist Party to extend its ideological control over religious life. Flying the flag would emphasize that the fates of the party, nation and individual are bound tightly together, said a statement on the website of the party's United Front Work Department that oversees such groups. "Raising the flag at religious venues abets the strengthening of religious figures' and religious believers' national and civic consciousness and creates a sense of the Chinese nation's community," said the statement, issued following a conference of groups representing Buddhists, Taoists, Protestants, Catholics and Muslims. The party has tightened its grip over the five officially recognized religions this year, ordering especially that Christians and Muslims work toward "Sinosization." Hundreds of thousands of Muslims in Xinjiang have been confined to re-education camps, where they are told to repudiate Islam and their culture and pledge fealty to the party. The authorities have removed crosses from Christian churches. That was accompanied earlier this year by a campaign led by President Xi Jinping to promote the works of Karl Marx, who called religion the "opium of the people."
This training camp, Kirk Cousins is sweating the important things. You know, like the sweaty butt attached to his new rookie center. The Minnesota Vikings selected rookie Garrett Bradbury out of NC State with their first round pick (18th overall) this spring. He comes highly regarded, having won the Rimington Trophy as the nation's top center in college football last year. His scouting report hailed his ability to handle pass and run protection duties down the middle, and that scouting report also likely noted his status as an All-American. What that scouting report may not have noted, however, is how much the young man sweats from his caboose. Regardless of how well Bradbury has performed so far this camp, his profuse perspiration has seemingly given Cousins nightmares. Ahead of their first game together this week, the quarterback sounded off on his new center's perpetually damp wagon. "He promises that it's not a problem in games, and it remains to be seen because his shorts today were soaked," Cousins told the media on Wednesday. "But apparently when they keep those domes air-conditioned and you get a break on the bench and you sit with the cooling fans, I'm hoping that really helps," Cousins continued. "So that's a big thing I'm gonna take away from Friday night, is how tough was it to grip the ball after he snaps it to me. Uh, if it is tough we might be in pistol and shotgun all year." While this is undoubtedly a hilarious hurdle for the Vikes to overcome, it's also slightly concerning -- especially if the center's magical sweat disappearing act doesn't actually work on gamedays. The Vikings open up their preseason schedule with a game Friday against the Saints at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, so if the ball is a little slippery when the Vikings are on offense, Cousins certainly won't be able to blame the rain.
(CNN) Rep. Justin Amash said his Republican colleagues are caught in an untenable position trying to defend President Donald Trump as the controversy surrounding his dealings with Ukraine continues to grow. Asked by CNN's Erin Burnett on Monday night whether those around the President were essentially forced to lie in order to defend Trump, Amash replied, "Yeah, and it's a shame." Amash left the Republican Party this past summer and became an independent after he became the sole GOP lawmaker to publicly argue that Trump had engaged in impeachable conduct "I think they know better and I think, deep down, they wish they weren't, you know, trapped in this position," Amash said on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront." "And I hear that from my colleagues on the House floor. I hear them talk about how they wish they weren't doing this." He linked that dynamic to many of the recent retirements in Congress, describing them as "people who are just trying to ride out this President, and they might think of coming back into public office later on, once this President is gone."
If you want to see, in an instant, what the New York Times has become, just consider the lead headlines in this morning’s editions of the Times and the Wall Street Journal. The Journal headed its story on the Trump tax proposals: “Trump Unveils Broad Tax-Cut Plan.” The Times headline was: “Tax Overhaul Would Aid Wealthiest.” That headline is, of course, pure propaganda. It’s the sort of headline Pravda would have used in the glory days of the Soviet Communist Party. It is the received idea of good tax policy on the left that the tax code should always sock it to the rich so that they pay their “fair share.” But notice that that phrase is never, ever defined. To do so would set an upper limit to what the rich could be taxed. (And, of course, whenever taxes are raised on the rich–the majority of whom now vote Democratic–loopholes are quietly slipped in to make sure they don’t actually pay punitive rates.) So even though the Trump Plan would greatly lower taxes for the middle class as well as the rich, that fact is hardly mentioned in the Times‘ coverage of a major news event. It is truly sad to see what was once incomparably the greatest newspaper the world has ever known become nothing more than a mouthpiece for the decaying American far left.
Cider Vinegar Diet Plan For Weight Loss That’s right, you don’t need to pump your body full of chemicals or go on some crazy crash diet to lose weight. The answer you’re looking for might already be in your kitchen cupboard! So how can apple cider vinegar help with your weight loss? The truth is, no one quite knows. Scientific tests haven’t been able to prove anything for sure about cider vinegar in regards to weight loss. The reason to try cider vinegar is mainly the stories of people who’ve already used it, and already lost weight thanks to it. There are a few ideas as to why cider vinegar aids in weight loss. Some people believe that it increases a person’s natural metabolism, which makes out body digest and change food into energy faster. Other people have stated that cider vinegar actively burns the calories in your body to help you lose weight. Some reports say that cider vinegar helps cleanse the liver, which is an organ that can have a big effect on weight loss. One recent experiment showed that eating cider vinegar with or right before a meal can help you feel more full, and thus prevent overeating. The test was a very small one, but the results looked really good. Cider vinegar weight loss still needs to be tested more with people before we can be sure just how much it helps. There’s evidence that ancient Egyptians used cider vinegar for weight loss, so it must be doing something right! There are a couple of different ways to use cider vinegar in your weight loss program. The easiest way is just to add a little bit of cider vinegar to a glass of water or juice, and drink it with a meal. Another option is to buy tablets or capsules that contain cider vinegar in them. Some of these tablets contain other things, like vitamin B6 and something called lecithin, which may have more effect than cider vinegar alone. Aside from weight loss program, cider vinegar is very healthy for you. It is naturally rich in vitamins and minerals, and can help with a number of medical problems and improve your general health. For instance, cider vinegar contains potassium, which helps lower blood pressure. It also has fiber, which can absorb the cholesterol that causes heart problems. Those are just a few things it helps with – cider vinegar can also help with digestion, sore throats, arthritis pain and even diabetes. Despite all the bonuses of using cider vinegar weight loss, it has some risks as well. The biggest thing to watch out for is that cider vinegar is very acidic, which means it can burn and damage your teeth, mouth or throat. It’s important to dilute cider vinegar in water or juice before drinking it. Be sure to contact your doctor before trying cider vinegar if you have any serious medical conditions.

Q: Django Models self reference I need to build a Django Model in which it refers to itself (a list of the same Model type within each instance of this model, sort of like a nested structure), probably within its own definition. I have looked into ManyToManyField or a possible solution with another model with a foreign key to this Model. What's the simplest way to do it ? A: You can use the string 'self' to indicate a self-reference. class Region(models.Model): country = models.ForeignKey('self') more in django docs
Purification of plasma protein. The purification of coagulation proteins from plasma milieu is a complex and sometimes difficult task. Most clotting factors are present in plasma in trace amounts. They are sensitive to proteolytic degradation and adsorption to surfaces. Thus for most coagulation proteins it was not until the seventies that highly purified preparations were available. Nowadays, most coagulation proteins are isolated from plasma using combinations of ion exchange, molecular sieve and affinity chromatographies. Sometimes, e.g. for Vitamin K dependent factors, specific adsorption properties are utilized. During affinity chromatography, proteins may be bound to specific immobilized receptors, antibodies, substrates, or inhibitors. An example for the latter is the use of bezamidine-Sepharose for the purification of thrombin. Immunoadsorption to immobilized monoclonal antibodies allowed the isolation of highly purified factor VIII:C. For factor XI and prekallikrein the binding of these proteins to the immobilized cofactor high molecular weight kininogen is utilized for an effective separation of contaminations. Antithrombin III can be isolated by linkage to its cofactor, heparin, on heparin-Sepharose. Using affinity chromatography on lysine-Sepharose it is possible to isolate plasminogen from plasma, serum or urine in a one step procedure with high yield and quality. This, of course, is an ideal situation, where the goal of a purification, namely the separation of a highly purified, biologically active product with high yield can be accomplished in a simple, fast procedure.
The super popular manga “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures” is full of unique poses called “Jojo Poses.” The author, Hirohiko Araki, says he was inspired by Italian sculptures. In his poses, he bends joints in peculiar ways and ignores how they would work in reality, producing his own view of the world. This time, we have featured illustrations of characters doing cool and unique JoJo Poses.
Five myths about privacy I am on vacation and so have been slow to add new material to this blog. The linked article is interesting and worth reading, but I chose to post it mainly for the following sentences, which have a wonderful Buddhist-American ring to them: Even if a person is doing nothing wrong, in a free society, that person shouldn’t have to justify every action that government officials might view as suspicious. A key component of freedom is not having to worry about how to explain oneself all the time. So agree with that and believe it should also apply to friends and colleagues. That may sound opposite to FIML practice where we say that all contretemps should be fully analyzed/explained, but it really isn’t. FIML is about finding deep freedom to communicate honestly with your partner. It doesn’t require you to justify everything you do, but rather provides a chance to speak deeply without fear of being misunderstood and judged wrongly.

Wireless communication systems are well known in the art. In traditional wireless communication systems, real time services are typically implemented using a circuit switched infrastructure in conjunction with at least one dedicated wireless resource. A current trend in the industry, however, is the use of so-called packet switched infrastructures in support of wireless communication systems. In particular, the use of the Internet Protocol (network) is important to the communications of a wireless communication system utilizing packet switched infrastructure. In such a system, wireless computers or communication units typically communicate with a wireless or radio access network (RAN) that in turn communicates with a packet switched networking forming a part of the infrastructure, such as the Internet or World Wide Web. Often, the target of the communication unit, such as a mobile computer, is a client, such as a mobile subscriber unit, coupled to the packet switched network. For the mobile computer to establish communications with another communication unit, the mobile computer needs an IP address, which is used to identify the source of communications. When radio coverage to the RAN is unavailable, the communication unit, such as the mobile computer, is unable to retrieve an IP address from the packet switched network; however, the mobile computer still requires an IP address to communicate with either the mobile subscriber unit or with the packet switched network regardless of the state of radio coverage. Currently, solutions to address the need of the mobile computer to have connectivity to the mobile subscriber unit regardless of RAN coverage are imperfect. One solution uses Network Address Port Translation (NAPT) to allow the mobile computer and the mobile subscriber unit to communicate regardless of RAN coverage. A serious limitation of such a solution is that many applications and protocols associated with either the mobile computer or the mobile subscriber unit do not operate with NAPT. Thus, regardless of whether RAN coverage is available, many applications and protocols associated with the mobile computer or the mobile subscriber unit will not operate. Another solution requires that the mobile computer and the mobile subscriber unit maintain multiple connections to the packet switched network so that if one connection is unavailable, then another connection will still allow for communications. Such a solution, known in the art as multi-homing, is expensive and requires duplicating communication connections. As a result, there exists a need for a method and apparatus for maintaining communications when a radio access network link is unavailable. It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, elements shown in the figures have not necessarily been drawn to scale. For example, the dimensions of some of the elements are exaggerated relative to each other. Further, where considered appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the figures to indicate identical elements.

Q: Debug Startup of iOS App in Safari Web Inspector I have several issues with the startup of my cordova app which I would like to debug in Web Inspector. The problem is the issues occur before the device appears in Safari's Develop menu. Is there any way to get the web inspector to start before the app actually runs? A: When the app loads and you can finally debug, use the Reload icon in the dev tools. This will reload the app itself and you'll see any early console messages.

Seeache The Seeache is a short river of Upper Austria. The Seeache is the natural outflow of the lake Mondsee and flows after into the lake Attersee, which itself is drained by the Ager. The rapid river is often used for rafting. The pearl fish (Rutilus meidingerii) has settled in the Seeache. References Category:Rivers of Upper Austria Category:Rivers of Austria
The overriding feeling is that Sony performed strongly. Much of what was announced was expected, but in the positive way that can only come with a natural transition. The jump from the PS3 to the PS4 was never going to be huge in sheer power terms, but the features Sony is providing are potentially brilliant. All the initial changes to connectivity makes sense for today’s world. One condition on that is that many of Sony’s speakers used qualifiers such as “soon” and “eventually”, in an attempt to manage expectations.

This is just the season to be investigating new salads and this is how I found this one. I always like trying something new. I can’t resist a new recipe especially if it uses familiar ingredients with a twist. A new recipe injects a new enthusiasm into one’s everyday cooking which is something we all need from time to time and that’s certainly how I feel! Wheat salad with orange and fresh thyme I don’t know about you but I am really into grains and pulses, probably as a result of living in Turkey all this time. This salad uses buğday or wheat. The other ingredients are easy: onion, orange, and fresh thyme. How does that sound? Healthy above all, I would say; then, cheap, and with a taste that is so different from the usual tomato/cucumber combination.
The invention relates generally to medical monitoring and diagnosis and, in particular, to the mapping of electrocardiographic information. In the field of medicine, the acquisition of diagnostic and/or monitoring data from a patient has become more common as systems designed to collect such data have become more accessible and their use more routine. One example of such diagnostic and/or monitoring data is electrocardiographic (ECG) data which represents cardiac electrical activity associated with the muscular pumping activity of the heart. The ECG data is collected by numerous contacts or leads disposed on the skin of a patient and generally represents the underlying electrical activity of the patient's heart. For example, aberrations in the activity of the heart may generate characteristic waveform patterns or traces that a trained clinician can recognize. However, the ECG data may contain more information than is evidenced in a simple, aggregate waveform that is typically associated with ECG measurements. For example, it may be desirable take advantage of structural or anatomical models or information in conjunction with the ECG data to provide insight into the interplay between cardiac structure and electrical activity.
Q: Post from external site to MVC controller that has typed parameters I'm new to MVC so I was struggling with the title of the question -- not sure if there's anything already covering what I want to do. Suppose I have a controller: FooController. It handles a set of views, all of which do the same basic thing, but use different models for various reasons. So I create an action for each model, and this works well: [HttpPost] public ActionResult Bar(Type1 t); [HttpPost] public ActionResult Bar(Type2 t); etc... What I want to accomplish (if possible) is to create an action that can accept a POST from a 3rd party website (in addition to the typed-views locally) and I can't seem to figure out how to accept the data without MVC throwing an exception: The current request for action 'Bar' on controller type 'FooController' is ambiguous between the following action methods: And it lists the above actions. I've tried a couple things: Created a method Bar(ExternalSiteType t) - Exception Created a method Bar(ExternalSiteParam1 p, ExternalSiteParam2 p2) - Exception Commented out the other actions - Success for both methods above Any ideas how to get this to work? EDIT: Route examples /Foo/Bar/Type1 /Foo/Bar/Type2 /Foo/Bar/ExternalSite A: I don't think [HttpPost] public ActionResult Bar(Type1 t); [HttpPost] public ActionResult Bar(Type2 t); could work at all, even if it was from the same site. You can't have two actions with the same name unless they use different Http verbs ([HttpGet],[HttpPost] etc). Your best best would be to create an action with a different name for the external site, convert the passed in information to Type1 and then Redirect to Bar(Type1 t). See ASP.NET MVC Redirect with model for different ways you could Redirect and preserve your complex object.
Quote from Jason 1st Class of VWI “This is an above-all comparable program to the top Watchmaker schools that prepares students for high-level craftsmanship, professional conduct, and skills that are no longer taught at modern watchmaking schools; making the graduates top tier choices for Luxury brand companies. Being a graduate student, I was able to enter employment with confidence, knowledge, and ability to complete services as any other veteran watchmaker. The greatest notable part of the school is that it is a large family of people from many different backgrounds. The school now represents ground zero for my new life, many future watchmakers, and will always be a place to call home.”
Christina Francisco Modal header One fine body… Washington, District of Columbia Work CRM Program Manager and Analyst Industry NGO / Public Service About As we get older the world seems to put pressure on us to become more calculated. And we overwhelmingly acquiesce to the notion that if we calculate our choices, we somehow gain control over the future. But that is a lie. It’s a false sense of security. And it only serves to allow fear to dominate our consciousness; to become our guiding light. I know I’m over-simplifying it—and I know it’s immature—but I’d rather fall on my fucking face in front of everyone a thousand times before I resign myself to playing it safe. Gabe Saporta

Vascular ontogeny within selected thoracoabdominal organs and the limbs. The cardiovascular system is fundamental to life. Its vessels are the conduits for delivery of nutrients and oxygen to organs and the removal of wastes. During embryonic development, the vascular system is instrumental in the formation of organs. It contributes to the form and pattern of organs as diverse as the limbs and the gonads. Recent advances in molecular biology and genomics have afforded great insight to the control of vascular development at subcellular levels of organization. Nevertheless, there is little assembled information concerning the vascular development of the organ systems of the body. This paper begins by reviewing the modes of formation of embryonic blood vessels. This is followed by summaries of the ontogeny of the vasculature that supplies selected major thoracic and abdominal organs (heart, gut, liver, gonads, and kidney). The paper concludes with a description of the arterial development of the upper and lower extremities.

Food-web complexity emerging from ecological dynamics on adaptive networks. Food webs are complex networks describing trophic interactions in ecological communities. Since Robert May's seminal work on random structured food webs, the complexity-stability debate is a central issue in ecology: does network complexity increase or decrease food-web persistence? A multi-species predator-prey model incorporating adaptive predation shows that the action of ecological dynamics on the topology of a food web (whose initial configuration is generated either by the cascade model or by the niche model) render, when a significant fraction of adaptive predators is present, similar hyperbolic complexity-persistence relationships as those observed in empirical food webs. It is also shown that the apparent positive relation between complexity and persistence in food webs generated under the cascade model, which has been pointed out in previous papers, disappears when the final connection is used instead of the initial one to explain species persistence.
There is an ongoing debate about what resources the International Criminal Court (ICC) needs to be successful. On one side of this debate are many of the Court’s largest funders, including France, Germany, Britain, Italy, and Japan. They have repeatedly opposed efforts to increase the Court’s resources even as its workload has increased dramatically in recent years. On the other side of the debate is the Court itself and many of the Court’s supporters within civil society. They have taken the position that it is underfunded and does not have sufficient resources to succeed. This debate has persisted for years and disagreements over the ICC’s funding level are now a central feature of the Court’s budgeting process. This Article assesses the ICC’s needs by looking at the investigative resources that states assign to domestic mass atrocity crimes and then comparing them to the investigative resources available to the ICC. One would expect that similar crimes would require similar resources to investigate. Thus, the resources devoted to domestic atrocity crime investigations can shed light on what resources the ICC needs to be successful. If the ICC has similar resources to those devoted to domestic mass atrocity investigations, this suggests that the ICC is adequately resourced. If, on the other hand, the ICC has fewer resources to conduct its investigations than domestic systems use in comparable circumstances, this suggests that the ICC is under-resourced.
From the blog Camping’s appeal can be all about getting out in nature and having a simple relaxed time away from it all. For some people though, that isn’t enough. There’s a new wave in the camping market that includes campers of all ages and all lifestyles. Want to find out what that is? Here are the latest camping trends that you need to know. Roof Top Tents A big revolution for campers has been roof top tents. Maybe you’ve already heard of these, but if you haven’t, they are set to become the next big thing. It’s not surprising, since they are convenient and can be deployed easily. Here’s how they work. Roof top tents are attached to a rack of a vehicle. To open them, the camper unfolds the tent and lowers down a ladder they then use to get inside the tent. They are perfect if you don’t want to be bothered by bugs or other, larger, animals. They are also good for people who want to get on with their trip and don’t want to spend hours setting up their tent. New Types of Camping Programs The question on every company’s mind is how can we find out what millennials want? Yet there is an even more lucrative market that has been trending, that of the older camper. To accommodate them, there are a variety of new camping programs. This means camping is just part of the experience, and there are added-value activities like nature treks and entertaining activities to make things more fun. Additionally, there are camps that specifically target the senior market. This way, older campers can be around people of a similar age, and experience new things in a comfortable environment. Another trend that will be attractive to anyone’s inner child is mamping. So just what is mamping? Museum camping, an extension of the concept in the movie Night at the Museum, is a way to immerse yourself in the exhibits while learning as you have a good time. Camping Mobile Apps In the technology-savvy world we live in, it’s expected that there would be some changes to camping. People are using camping apps to find information, connect with other campers, and more. In addition to packing tents and the supplies for food or hiking, now campers aren’t leaving home without the mobile applications targeted at the camping market. There’s the Recreation.gov app. It makes it easy to reserve a camp spot and has much-needed driving directions as well. This can be a lifesaver for the last-minute adventurer. The Parkfinder app does something similar. Its main purpose, as the name indicates, is finding parks and campsites. Another app, Camp and Tent, helps campers by not only listing parks but also showing reviews so you get the inside scoop before deciding which one to choose. For the nature lover, there are apps like Backcountry Navigator. Topography maps make sure that you never get lost on your adventures.
Q: Pry is not a module Ok, as @tim-moore asked, I will post it in new question. Ok, so I wanted to make gem using bundle. Pry extension gem require that gem start with pry- as mentioned here. I used: bundle gem pry-name but it messed up my file structure create pry-name/pry-name.gemspec create pry-name/lib/pry/name.rb create pry-name/lib/pry/name/version.rb As you can see it created lib/pry directory. I know it's gem's style to created such structure but now I pry cannot load this gem automatically One solution from my question was: create pry-name.rb that contain only require 'pry/name' After I have done this, and build gem, I started pry: This message appear: require 'pry-name' # Failed, saying: Pry is not a module As for my guesses: I'm creating commands writing something like this: Pry::Commands.create_command "name-of-command" do # my code goes here end and, as ruby find Pry::Commands. it want require it from lib directory not from Pry gem. What does this error mean. Why it doesn't work. How make it work keeping in mind gem and pry requirements(pry gem starts with pry- and gem will create another directory(ies) when someone use - for example: gem pry-name will make pry/name) A: Everywhere in your newly-created gem where it has module Pry, change it to: class Pry. Since Pry is already defined (as a class), you cannot redefine/reopen it as a module.
Integrin inactivators: balancing cellular functions in vitro and in vivo. Integrins mediate cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions and integrate extracellular cues to the cytoskeleton and cellular signalling pathways. Integrin function on the cell surface is regulated by their activity switching such that intracellular proteins interacting with the integrin cytoplasmic domains increase or decrease integrin-ligand binding affinity. It is widely accepted that integrin activation by specific proteins is essential for cell adhesion and integrin linkage to the actin cytoskeleton. However, there is also increasing evidence that integrin-inactivating proteins are crucial for appropriate integrin function in vitro and in vivo and that the regulation of integrin-ligand interactions is a fine-tuned balancing act between inactivation and activation.
New biomarkers for acute renal injury. Incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) is increasing rapidly to epidemic proportions. Development of AKI, especially in intensive care settings, is associated with increased morbidity, mortality and hospitalization costs. Currently available diagnostic tools are mostly insensitive for early diagnosis, however prompt diagnosis and risk stratification are necessary for guiding therapy and preventing progression of disease. Finding an early, reliable, suitable, easily reproducible, economical and accurate biomarker for AKI is a top research priority. In recent years, many urinary and serum proteins have been investigated as possible early markers of AKI and some of them have shown great promise. This topic reviews some of the emerging biomarkers of AKI.
Q: Texture spill over android open gl es I have adapted lesson six of insantydesign's android examples (http://insanitydesign.com/wp/projects/nehe-android-ports/) to work for a 2d square and the texture is displaying fine but I also have other (non textured) shapes drawn on screen and the texture from the square "spills over" to them. In my on surface created method I have the line squaretexture.loadGLTexture(gl, this.context); which I think may be the problem. My question is where should I put this line in order to fix my problem? A: You need to enable texturing when you want to draw textures primitives, and disable texturing when you want primitives without a texture. For example: glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D); drawObjectA(); glDisable(GL_TEXTURE_2D); drawObjectB(); Object A will be textured, but object B won't.
Recognition memory and featural similarity between concepts: The pupil's point of view. Differences in pupil dilation are observed for studied compared to new items in recognition memory. According to cognitive load theory, this effect reflects the greater cognitive demands of retrieving contextual information from study phase. Pupil dilation can also occur when new items conceptually related to old ones are erroneously recognized as old, but the aspects of similarity that modulate false memory and related pupil responses remain unclear. We investigated this issue by manipulating the degree of featural similarity between new (unstudied) and old (studied) concepts in an old/new recognition task. We found that new concepts with high similarity were mistakenly identified as old and had greater pupil dilation than those with low similarity, suggesting that pupil dilation reflects the strength of evidence on which recognition judgments are based and, importantly, greater locus coeruleus and prefrontal activity determined by the higher degree of retrieval monitoring involved in recognizing these items.
Assessment of drug metabolism enzyme and transporter pharmacogenetics in drug discovery and early development: perspectives of the I-PWG. Genetic variants of drug metabolism enzymes and transporters can result in high pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic variability, unwanted characteristics of efficacious and safe drugs. Ideally, the contributions of these enzymes and transporters to drug disposition can be predicted from in vitro experiments and in silico modeling in discovery or early development, and then be utilized during clinical development. Recently, regulatory agencies have provided guidance on the preclinical investigation of pharmacogenetics, for application to clinical drug development. This white paper summarizes the results of an industry survey conducted by the Industry Pharmacogenomics Working Group on current practice and challenges with using in vitro systems and in silico models to understand pharmacogenetic causes of variability in drug disposition.

The best part of any Election Day is reading the comical stories of chaos, chaos at the polling stations! For example: A voter's nose in Ohio has been bit today. It has been bit. Is this what American democracy has come to? No! It's always been like this. The victim, Greg Flanagan, went to MetroHealth Medical Center for treatment. He called NewsChannel5 as he was leaving the hospital to go home. It was not immediately clear if Flanagan got the opportunity to vote. Flanagan said the incident started when he saw a man arguing with a woman about signs she had outside the polling location. The man was claiming the woman's signs were too close, and Flanagan said the situation was combative. He said he stepped in to try to help the woman. The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections confirmed that something did happen, but did not provide specifics. It said it is conducting an investigation and is attempting to find the rover, whom they identified as James Norm Williams. Williams reportedly fled the scene after the alleged bite. He has not been charged, but we're naming him because the BOE is looking for him.
Q: Javascript debugging: Printing out the element retrieved from a jQuery selector I want to get an HTML element with a jQuery selector and print out all its contents (either in an alert or console debug). Something like this... <div class="mydiv">Hello is it me you are looking for?</div> <script> alert("But I still haven't found what I am looking for " + $("#mydiv").html()); </script> I also tried printElement as suggested in this post, but that doesn't seem to work either. Here is a simple fiddle. A: The # is the id selector. You have a class (<div class="mydiv">) so you need to use the class selector .: alert("But I still haven't found what I am looking for " + $(".mydiv").html());
