It’s been said that fear of the unknown is an irrational response to the excesses of the imagination. But our fear of the everyday, of the lurking stranger and the sound of footfalls on the stairs, the fear of violent death and the primitive impulse to survive, are as frightening as any X-File; as real as the acceptance that it could happen to you.
Irresistible
In early interviews, Chris Carter stated that one of his goals for each episode of The X-Files is to scare people. And while alien invasions, creatures that lives in the sewers or guys that can stretch their body to get into and out of any locked room may be scary, none of them are quiet as unsettling or unnerving as Donnie Phaster.
“Irresistible” is one of the most unnerving, creepy and utterly riveting hours of the entire run of the show. And yet it doesn’t feature an alien or monster of the week in the traditional sense. Instead, Chris Carter gives us something a bit more unnerving — a monster who looks perfectly ordinary and can easily hide in plain sight because of his ordinariness.
Donnie Phaster is a unique creation. A death fetishist whose urges are growing. No longer content to dig up women to steal bits of their hair and fingernails, Donnie has moved on to wanting to take the lives of his victims before he takes his trophies. His need is escalating — and over the course of an hour, we see Donnie make several attempts to find new victims. Some of them like the blonde prostitute are successful while others like the student in his literature class don’t quite work out. Donnie gives off an odd vibe from the first moment we see him, working in a mortuary, cluing the audience in that something isn’t quite right with him. And while we know from the beginning who the culprit is and get to watch as he goes about his feeding his obsession, the story needs feels like it’s lagging or treading water until Mulder and Scully catch up to Phaster.
A lot of the credit for this goes to actor Nick Chinland, who brings a creepy and unnerving edge to Donnie. The way Donnie talks, the way he moves, the way he asks questions — it’s all so damn unnerving and creepy as all get out. And I do love the moment in the script when Donnie’s various victims seem him other epitomes of evil — from Charles Manson to an alien to some kind of monster. And yet as much as we, the audience, may wish there was some supernatural force behind Donnie’s evil, there isn’t any. Donnie is just a product of his upbringing, as we find out in the final few moments of the episode.
There are so many creepy moments to Donnie — whether it’s his job interview or his first delivery to the family or his first glimpse of Scully while in jail for another incident. Donnie seems to polite and yet there’s an air to him of something more lurking under the surface. And give credit to the Fox censors for making Carter work harder to make Donnie more palatable for prime-time. Carter initially wanted to make Donnie a lot darker but the censors wouldn’t let him. He then had to tone it down a bit and make Donnie a collector and death fetishist. And I think the restraint he’s forced to use actually makes the episode better.
You’ve also got to give huge credit to Carter’s script and to the performances by our two leads. While the series has hinted that Scully is putting up a brave front after the events of the first nine episodes, it’s this script that really digs into the impact those events have had on her. Scully is unnerved by the current case, but she refuses to confide in Mulder. As she tells the FBI social worker, she doesn’t want Mulder to feel like he has to protect her. And yet, she’s clearly unsettled by the case and it’s clearly bringing up some things from her kidnapping that she needs to deal with. The final scene with Mulder forcing Scully to look him in the eye as she denies that her experience in being taken by Phaster and then she finally breaks down is a profoundly moving moment and one that clearly shows the depth of Mulder and Scully’s relationship., Mulder has repeatedly said he only trusts Scully and she points out that she trusts him. But it’s clear that she doesn’t want to be vulnerable for fear of losing something in how Mulder perceives her.
So you’ve got first rate acting, writing and then you add in first-rate directing by David Nutter. The series has really found its style at this point and you can tell Nutter is having some fun behind the camera. The final shot of the teaser that ends with Phaster walking into the camera is nicely done as is the times he’s hidden his darkness and shadows. Everything that Nutter does underscores the creepy factor of this episode.
It’s from this installment that Carter began to explore the idea of another show that would examine the profiling of serial killers. We’d get that show a year and a half later with Millennium. And while the show had some good outings, I’m not quite sure any of them ever got quite as creepy as this hour.
On a lighter note, Carter pays homage to Vikings wide receiver Cris Carter in this episode. Mulder’s initial reason to pursue the case is that he’s scored Redskins/Vikings tickets for the weekend. It’s just one more pitch-perfect detail in the episode. |
Q:
Using htaccess to include PHP in HTML files
Is it still considered to be an OK practice to use htaccess to render PHP in HTML files for things like a navigation/menu?
I used to do it back in the day for smaller sites that didn't really need a CMS, but I wasn't sure if it's a faux pas these days.
A:
It's purely up to you. It doesn't pose any threat to your site or expose any vulnerability so it doesn't matter either way. Rendering a PHP file with an HTML extension is no different than one with a PHP extension.
In fact, if you're migrating a static site to dynamic one, it's actually a good way to preserve page URLs.

Q:
Javascript Data Structures for Efficient Insertion and Searching
I am in need of a Javascript data structure which will allow me to insert strings and search for strings efficiently. I have been looking around and the only data structures I have come across are objects and arrays. Objects are more used for encapsulation and cannot really be used for searching and using arrays can be slow. Are there any other data structures that will allow me to insert and search strings efficiently? Right now at best I could do a binary search on an array. Any other ideas? Thanks.
A:
Objects are more used for encapsulation and cannot really be used for
searching
That was true in classical languages, not so true in JS.
var obj = { memberone: "value1" }
var value = obj["memberone"];
//value === "value1"
Objects can be searched in JS. Bear with me...
and using arrays can be slow.
Yes, can be - but don't have to be.
Are there any other data structures that will allow me to insert and
search strings efficiently?
Data structures? No. Again that is a classical perspective. In JS, it is different.
Check out _underscore.js.
It is 4k min gzip.
It provides a number of advanced iterator helpers (so you don't have to)
It provides templates to display your data to screen efficently.
It will benefit the rest of your development, maintenance, and implementations.
This is a good example of JS flexibility.
Hope that helps.
All the best!

Both thapsigargin- and tunicamycin-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress increases expression of Hrd1 in IRE1-dependent fashion.
We have investigated the impact of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which is often implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, on the expression of Hrd1, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that plays a central role in the process of ER-associated degradation (ERAD). SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, a frequently used model for studying neurotoxicity in dopaminergic neurons and the mechanisms of neurodegeneration associated with Parkinson's disease, and parental SK-N-SH cells were studied. We demonstrate that ER stress, induced by thapsigargin or tunicamycin, correlates with the increased expression of Hrd1 in both SH-SY5Y and SK-N-SH cells. Inhibition of PERK does not significantly suppress the thapsigargin- or tunicamycin-induced expression of Hrd1. Nevertheless, PERK inhibition has a positive effect on the survival of SH-SY5Y cells treated with thapsigargin but not on those treated with tunicamycin. Inhibition of IRE1 associated with the inhibition of XBP1 splicing does not affect the survival of SH-SY5Y cells treated with either thapsigargin or tunicamycin but results in the complete suppression of both the thapsigargin- and tunicamycin-induced expression of Hrd1. Thus, the ER-stress-induced expression of Hrd1 in SH-SY5Y depends on Hrd1 transcription activation, which is a consequence of IRE1 but not of PERK activation. |

Q:
Nessus Vulnerability Scanner
My question is: can we use Nessus to perform a scan on a remote server? Or is it used only to perform scans on the local network?
A:
I am not sure what you mean "on a remote server" but very simply put: yes, you can - as long as you're authorized.
If your scenario is to scan server which lies outside of your local network (for example a different server belonging to your company, hosted somewhere else) Nessus is your choice.
If you mean you want to perform a scan from a remote server with Nessus, that's possible as well. Our company uses Nessus on a dedicated server for external scans.
But be warned - don't scan server which you're not authorized to.
I also believe trial version is only for non-commercial scans.
Happy scanning!

The NA Chairman said he wanted Việt Nam and Denmark to continue working together in various fields, including economy, trade, investment, defense, security, education, culture, climate change, environmental protection, energy and green growth.
The two countries’ legislative bodies should also strengthen coordination to ensure the cooperative programs and projects between the two Governments would be more effective, the NA Chairman said.
The NA Chairman affirmed that the NA is ready to create all favorable conditions it can for the Danish Ambassador to fulfill his role as a bridge for the two countries’ relations.
The Ambassador told his host that the Danish Government will continue providing Việt Nam with non-refundable aid, and that many Danish firms want to continue investing and doing business in the country.
The Ambassador said he hoped the NA will keep on creating favorable conditions for the two countries to well implement cooperative programs on public administration and administrative reform. |
This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art.
PTT is the time delay for the energy wave to travel between two sites in the arteries. According to the Bramwell-Hill equation, PTT varies with the arterial compliance (i.e., PTT=√(LC), where L is the arterial inertance and C is the arterial compliance). PTT indeed decreases as the arteries stiffen with aging and disease. Further, PTT often shows a tight relationship with BP. The physiologic mechanism for this relationship is well understood. The arterial compliance decreases as BP increases, because collagen fibers are slack and do not apply tension until the arterial wall is stretched. PTT, in turn, decreases due to the Bramwell-Hill equation. While changes in vasomotor tone can also acutely modulate the arterial compliance, this effect is less of a factor in the aorta wherein smooth muscle is relatively sparse.
PTT can be estimated simply from the relative timing between proximal and distal waveforms indicative of the arterial pulse. Hence, PTT has (a) proven to be a convenient marker of arterial stiffness and (b) could conceivably permit continuous, non-invasive, and cuff-less BP monitoring in the acute setting and even over longer time periods (e.g., months to a few years) as the impact of aging and disease on the arteries are slow processes.
The conventional PTT estimation technique is to detect the foot-to-foot time delay between the proximal and distal waveforms. The premise is that arterial wave reflection interference is negligible during late diastole and early systole when the waveform feet occur. By contrast, the reflected wave is often prominent by late systole. So, the peak-to-peak time-delay between the two waveforms typically does not provide a useful PTT estimate. Hence, by virtue of being estimated at the waveform feet, conventionally estimated PTT is precisely a marker of arterial stiffness at the level of diastolic BP and generally correlates best with diastolic BP.
However, wave reflection interference may not always be negligible at the waveform feet, particularly as heart rate changes and peripheral resistance increases. Just as important, since the foot-to-foot detection technique restricts its analysis to one pair of waveform samples, it is not robust to motion and other common artifact in the waveforms. Hence, this technique yields imperfect PTT estimates. Even seemingly small errors are problematic, as PTT itself is small. Compounding matters, BP changes perturb PTT relatively little. As a result, plots of diastolic BP versus foot-to-foot PTT often show significant scatter about the line of best fit. This scatter obviously limits the ability of PTT to track BP.
Several techniques have been proposed to improve the estimation of PTT from the same waveforms. These techniques have been shown or could reduce the scatter in BP versus PTT plots.
Some of the techniques analyze multiple systolic samples of the waveforms to obtain a PTT estimate at a BP level somewhere between diastolic and mean BP (rather than at diastolic BP). One such technique fits a line through the early systolic samples of each waveform and then finds the time of its intersection with the horizontal line passing through the minimum BP to establish PTT. Another technique fits a hyperbolic tangent model to the entire systolic upstroke of at least one of the waveforms and then uses the time of the model inflection point(s) to arrive at PTT. A third technique effectively averages multiple time delays taken from the early to mid-systolic samples of the two waveforms to determine PTT. By analyzing additional waveform samples, these techniques are more robust to artifact. However, wave reflection interference becomes a greater factor as the cardiac cycle progresses.
Other techniques analyze the entire waveforms to arrive at a PTT estimate at likely mean BP. One such technique represents the relationship between the proximal and distal waveforms with a linear black-box (i.e., not physically based) model that assumes arterial compliance is independent of BP. Then, the impulse response that optimally couples the proximal waveform to the distal waveform is identified. Finally, the time delay of the impulse response is detected as the PTT. Since the impulse response represents the distal arterial response to a very narrow pulse applied at the proximal artery at time zero, this PTT estimate is not corrupted by wave reflection. Another technique represents the relationship between the proximal and distal waveforms with a linear physical model that likewise assumes that the arterial compliance is independent of BP and accounts for wave reflection from the periphery, which is typically the dominant impedance mismatch site. Then, all parameters of the model, which include the true PTT (i.e., PTT in absence of wave reflection), are estimated by optimally coupling the waveforms. Hence, both of these linear model-based techniques provide an artifact robust estimate of the true PTT.
Although a number of PTT estimation techniques have been conceived, all yield one PTT estimate at a single BP level. It would be desirable to have a technique that is able to estimate PTT as a function of BP (e.g., PTT for each and every BP level in the cardiac cycle). Such a technique would have at least three important patient monitoring applications.
One application is improved monitoring of arterial stiffness. In particular, the desired technique could be used to correct PTT for BP and thereby afford more meaningful tracking of arterial stiffness over time within a subject or more meaningful comparisons of arterial stiffness amongst different subjects.
Another application is calibrating PTT (in units of sec) to BP (in units of mmHg). To achieve this calibration, a subject-specific curve that relates PTT to BP (i.e., PTT as a function of BP) is needed. The conventional approach for constructing the curve is to measure both PTT and BP in a subject during an experimental perturbation that varies BP over a significant range such as vasoactive drug infusions. (BP could then be subsequently measured in that subject from only PTT by invoking the calibration curve.) However, the need for an experimental perturbation makes this approach less practical. The desired technique would provide the requisite curve without the need for inducing an artificial BP change (i.e., a “perturbationless calibration” approach).
A third application is tracking systolic BP via PTT. All of the previous techniques estimate PTT at BP levels between diastolic and mean BP and are thus best suited to track these BP values. The desired technique would afford a PTT estimate at systolic BP and thereby better track this BP value.

In our ongoing video series Chef Joseph W. DiPerri, from The Culinary Institute of America, demonstrates how to make Fritto Misto (mixed fried seafood) from Venice, Italy
Recipe
T
he Italian phrase "fritto misto" roughly translates as "mixed fry," and it encompasses all sorts of fried foods: meats such as sweetbreads, vegetables, and even desserts. But in Venice the term almost always applies to the city's justly famous frutti di marefruits of the sea.
The chefs of Venice's restaurants and cafés know that frying is one of the best ways to showcase the impeccably fresh fish and seafood from the Adriatic Sea. "Frying strips away only the rawness and by its quick, deep heat encapsulates the ingredient with all its intrinsic qualitiesthe juiciness, the taste, the textureintact," writes Italian cooking guru Marcella Hazan in her cookbook Marcella Says.
In our videos, the CIA's Chef Joseph W. DiPerri shows how to capture the succulence and flavor Hazan describes. Like the Venetians, you'll want to start with the freshest seafood you can find. DiPerri uses squid, smelt, shrimp, and scallops, but baby octopus, sardines, and anchovies are also wonderful fried. Make sure each piece of seafood is dry before you coat it with a small amount of flour (wet foods are more likely to splatter when they're fried). Then get it quickly intoand back out ofyour hot oil so it doesn't get soggy, greasy, or overcooked. Watch the videos and you'll see that it's easier than it might sound to produce light, crisp, and moist fried foods.
In Venice, Fritto Misto is usually served naked or with just a squeeze of lemon juice, but it's also wonderful with tartar sauce. You can use store-bought mayo as a base, or watch our video on how to make mayonnaise and whip up a batch of homemade. |
A new super condom that would offer protection even if it were to break is being developed by a multi cultural team of scientists from Texas A&M, reports India West.
Mahua Choudhury has proposed changing the condom from latex to a strong, elastic polymer that is hydrogel.
The team is aided by a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to develop a low cost latex-free condom. The hydrogel includes quercetin which scientists say can enhance sexual enjoyment because it relaxes the muscle, encourages blood flow and helps to stimulate and maintain erections.
“If we succeed, it will revolutionize the HIV prevention initiative,” Choudhury added. “We are not only making a novel material for condoms to prevent the HIV infection, but we are also aiming to eradicate this infection if possible.”
Testing is expected to begin in the next six months. |
Q:
Npm Install DevDependencies in separate directory
Is there a way for npm install to install the devDevpendencies in a separate directory enabling the ability to run build tasks while excluding the devDependencies in a dynamic/simple way?
A:
I don't think that's possible, https://www.npmjs.org/doc/files/npm-folders.html states that the modules have to be in node_modules.
For your purposes you could copy everything but the node_modules folder and do npm install --production in the new copied folder, so you will only have production dependencies in the build.
This should accomplish what you want without much work:
rsync -av --progress yourproject yourbuilddir --exclude node_modules
cd yourbuilddir && npm install --production

There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea
Newly obtained evidence, including satellite photos taken in recent weeks, indicates that work is underway on at least one and possibly two liquid-fueled ICBMs at a large research facility in Sanumdong, on the outskirts of Pyongyang, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe classified intelligence.
And:
The reports about new missile construction come after recent revelations about a suspected uranium-enrichment facility, called Kangson, that North Korea is operating in secret. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo acknowledged during Senate testimony last week that North Korean factories “continue to produce fissile material” used in making nuclear weapons. He declined to say whether Pyongyang is building new missiles.

The Interactive Origin and the Aesthetic Modelling of Image-Schemas and Primary Metaphors.
According to the theory of conceptual metaphor, image-schemas and primary metaphors are preconceptual structures configured in human cognition, based on sensory-motor environmental activity. Focusing on the way both non-conceptual structures are embedded in early social interaction, we provide empirical evidence for the interactive and intersubjective ontogenesis of image-schemas and primary metaphors. We present the results of a multimodal image-schematic microanalysis of three interactive infant-directed performances (the composition of movement, touch, speech, and vocalization that adults produce for-and-with the infants). The microanalyses show that adults aesthetically highlight the image-schematic structures embedded in the multimodal composition of the performance, and that primary metaphors are also lived as embedded in these inter-enactive experiences. The findings allow corroborating that the psychological domains of cognition and affection are not in rivalry or conflict but rather intertwined in meaningful experiences. |
Structural dynamics of N-ethylpropionamide clusters examined by nonlinear infrared spectroscopy.
In this work, the structural dynamics of N-ethylpropionamide (NEPA), a model molecule of β-peptides, in four typical solvents (DMSO, CH3CN, CHCl3, and CCl4), were examined using the N-H stretching vibration (or the amide-A mode) as a structural probe. Steady-state and transient infrared spectroscopic methods in combination with quantum chemical computations and molecular dynamics simulations were used. It was found that in these solvents, NEPA exists in different aggregation forms, including monomer, dimer, and oligomers. Hydrogen-bonding interaction and local-solvent environment both affect the amide-A absorption profile and its vibrational relaxation dynamics and also affect the structural dynamics of NEPA. In particular, a correlation between the red-shifted frequency for the NEPA monomer from nonpolar to polar solvent and the vibrational excitation relaxation rate of the N-H stretching mode was observed. |
OK, for arguments sake, we ban all guns everywhere. Every single gun is now gone.
How does that prevent a student from killing another?
Some people, not everyone, but a significant number of people feel powerful with a firearm in their hand. They like that feeling of power. A tactical knife or something like that can give a similar feeling of power but to a much much lesser degree.
But, in real life, without the gun in their hand, the cold hard truth might be that they are not actually so cool, powerful and almighty. In fact, they may be thought of by their classmates as losers.
Why do the people at school make them feel like losers when they are actually so cool and powerful??? A big question. |

The acquisition of Escherichia coli by new-born babies.
In discussing the background of these studies the importance of faecal carriage of Gram negative organisms by hospital patients is stressed. In many instances it was shown that transmission is by an oral route. This discussion leads on to an assessment of the dose required for Escherichia coli to implant in the bowel. The difficulties of studying the spread of E. coli within a faecal specimen are discussed. A number of papers are quoted which show that E. coli are present in the vagina of women and that the acquisition of these E. coli by babies is related to the length of time that the birth takes, and that there is a relationship between the E. coli found in the faeces of the mothers, the mucus swallowed by the babies at birth and subsequently in the faeces of the babies. Most of the eralier studies quoted deal predominantly with enteropathogenic serotypes, but it was later shown that other serotypes can be similarly acquired by the babies. Although this appears to be the general method by which babies acquire their faecal E. coli, it is well established that they can also be obtained from the environment, hence ward outbreaks of infantile gastroenteritis. Studies on normally delivered babies show that generally two thirds obtain their faecal E. coli from their mothers while the rest appear to pick up environmental strains. Very detailed biochemical and serological studies need to be performed to assess this. Caesarian section babies are generally not likely to become colonized by their mothers' faecal E. coli and studies are described which show that the babies faeces or rectal swabs are usually the first areas colonized and that the E. coli are spread from there. Extensive environmental studies suggest that contaminated hands and uniforms of the nursing staff may be the main vector for transmitting E. coli. There is a wide variety of E. coli serotypes present in a maternity ward at any time and these are related to the presence of the babies excreting them. A variation in the ability of strains to spread was noted. |

Q:
Why is the total count of people on a plane given as the number of 'souls' on board?
Why don't they just say 'people' on board, why souls? What is the origin of this term? I'm thinking it comes from sailing as I think I've heard that term in reference to crews out at sea, but I'm not a sailor so I don't know.
A:
The primary reason is probably that it ensures there is no confusion between passengers, crew, or infants. Technically, "passengers" is the number of seats occupied, "crew" is both the pilots and flight attendants on duty. So any small children brought on as "lap children" will not be included in the "passengers" count, but should be included in the total number of people on board.
I found another interesting point over on the English Stack Exchange site, which is that dead bodies are sometimes transported as well. In this case, some might consider these "people" as well. Also, in an incident, the bodies should not be confused with the regular passengers.
So, "souls" effectively communicates the number of living humans on board.
There may certainly be holdovers from the maritime influences on aviation as well.
A:
I agree with what fooot said. Also, I would add, as someone to volunteers in search & rescue (Civil Air Patrol) as a mission pilot, when you hear the word "souls," it adds some urgency and seriousness to the handling of any emergency. When an air traffic controller asks a pilot, during an emergency, for the number of souls on board, it communicates to the pilot that the controller and pilot are focusing extra hard together on solving the emergency successfully, and that one word tells the pilot that the controller is going to be marshalling resources to help in every way possible. "Souls" is a term full of life and caring. For rescuers, it communicates very quickly the total number of persons who must be found and saved.
A:
The earliest reference I can find to 'souls' as a count of persons is mid-eighteenth century, although it probably was in use earlier. It appears in maritime commerce, as the number of living humans aboard a ship, and in civics, as the population of a town or city.
I think that in the early 1700s the words 'people' and 'person' both had strong connotations compared to those words today. 'People' meant humans of a certain country or a specific culture, and 'persons' meant humans of note or important characters.
So I conclude that a need arose, driven by government and commerce, for a word to mean an unaffected and precise head count, that yet afforded those being counted a little more respect than the barrels, boxes, coins, and cows whose numbers were also tallied.
Now if I could find a reference to that usage of 'souls' from the thirteenth or fourteenth century, I would simply assume that it arose from the learned churchmen who were doing the counting, as literacy was not yet widespread.

“As a man who has spent decades championing women’s healthcare and environmental protection, I was distressed to learn of Pan Bahar’s unauthorized and deceptive use of my image to endorse their range of pan masala products,” the statement read. “I would never have entered into an agreement to promote a product in India that is dangerous to one’s health.”
Pan Bahar, known as pan masala in Hindi, is made from a mixture of nuts, seeds, herbs and spices. It’s been associated with bad health and is also blamed for the red-colored spit stains visible in public areas in India.
Brosnan’s contract details that he was to advertise a “breath freshener/tooth whitener,” which wouldn’t include an ingredient that turns saliva red.
Brosnan said he agreed to advertise a single product only, and that it was presented as “all-natural containing neither tobacco, supari, nor any other harmful ingredient.”
“Having endured, in my own personal life, the loss of my first wife and daughter as well as numerous friends to cancer, I am fully committed to supporting women’s healthcare and research programs that improve human health and alleviate suffering,” the statement continued.
The James Bond actor said he demanded that the company remove his image from all their products, and assured that he had no knowledge that he was endorsing items that would have a negative or painful reaction in India.
He added that Pan Bahar “grossly manipulated” media outlets to falsely present him as a brand ambassador for their entire line of products, something he writes is “in violation of my contract.” |

Two blocks from the police station, Kate parked her car curbside. Her stomach was more scrambled than her morning eggs, and her hands hadn’t stopped trembling since she marched out of Parker’s office, vowing to find Daisy’s killer.
Was she nuts?
What did she know about tracking down a murderer?
She could end up his next victim.
Her gaze darted from window to window. Okay, Kate, get a grip. No one besides a roomful of cops even knows you’re looking. She pocketed her keys and stepped out of the car. A short walk might help her calm down and figure out what to do next.
Bright splotches of sunlight dappled the tree-lined street, but the scene felt wrong—as if even the sky had failed her. The weather should be cloudy, miserable, like she felt.
How could Detective Parker insinuate Daisy killed herself on purpose?
He’d acted so concerned with those soft eyes and mellow tones, and then boom, he delivered that “people are rarely what they seem” line. Well, she’d show him. Daisy was an open book—and more than that, a woman full of life and zest. She never would have killed herself. |

Q:
How to execute Run function before any controller
I'm using AngularJS to make my first application, I want to the run function to be executed before any controller.
My run function looks like :
.run(function ($rootScope,authentification)
{
teamsFactory.sendAuthent().then(function(response)
{
$rootScope.authentdata=response.data;
});
})
My service where I make the authentication :
teams.sendAuthent= function(DeviceID) {
return $http({method:"POST",url:http://myserver.com/authentification",headers: {'X-SocialAPI-Service-Name': 'auth'}})
.then(function(aResponse)
{
var deferred=$q.defer();
deferred.resolve({data:aResponse.data});
return deferred.promise;
});
}
And this is my controller where I use the rootScope data :
.controller('home', function($rootScope,$scope, $http,)
{
alert($rootScope.authentdata.token);
})
But this is not working it says that autehndata is undefined, so the controller is executed before the run function how to resolve that ?
A:
you can try this,
$rootScope.$watch('authentdata', function(n, o) {
if(angular.isDefined(n) {
alert($rootScope.authentdata.token);
// or alert(n.token);
}
}

Should violent offenders be forced to undergo neurotechnological treatment? A critical discussion of the 'freedom of thought' objection.
In this paper we examine one reason for rejecting the view that violent offenders should be forced to undergo neurotechnological treatments (NTs) involving such therapies as psychoactive medication to curb violent behaviour. The reason is based on the concern that forced treatment violates the offender's right to freedom of thought. We argue that this objection can be challenged. First, we present some specifications of what a right to freedom of thought might mean. We focus on the recently published views of Jared Craig, and Jan Cristopher Bublitz and Reinhard Merkel. Second, we argue that forcing violent offenders to undergo certain kinds of NTs may not violate the offender's right to freedom of thought as that right is specified by Craig, and Bublitz and Merkel. Third, even if non-consensual NT is used in a way that does violate freedom of thought, such use can be difficult to abandon without inconsistency. For if one is not an abolitionist, and therefore accepts traditional state punishments for violent offenders like imprisonment-which, the evidence shows, often violate the offender's right to freedom of thought-then, it is argued, one will have reason to accept that violent offenders can legitimately be forced to undergo NT even if doing so denies them the right to freedom of thought. |

P-glycoprotein and caveolin-1alpha in endothelium and astrocytes of primate brain.
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and caveolin-1alpha are both involved in membrane transport, and studies in rodent brain show that these proteins are specifically localized at the microvascular endothelium, which forms the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In humans, P-gp is also expressed in astrocytes, especially in pathological tissue. The present study examines the cellular expression of P-gp and caveolin-1alpha in fresh-frozen brain from healthy rhesus monkey using confocal microscopy and polyclonal antibodies against either P-gp or caveolin-1alpha co-labeled for astrocytes or microvascular endothelium. P-gp and caveolin-1alpha are expressed in both astrocytes and endothelium of healthy primate brain. These findings suggest that P-gp and caveolin-1alpha share a broad spectrum of cellular expression and may play a role in drug transport within the brain in addition to the BBB. |

There are many known forms of backwashing devices in the art. For example, one commonly utilized device includes a hardened back scrubber wherein a central member houses a plurality of bristles that are designed to scrape and exfoliate the skin on a user's back. Another commonly utilized device includes specially made towels having an elongated construction so as to allow a user to run the towel body across their back.
To this end, utilization of the soft elongated towels is much more soothing than the hardened back scrubber; however, the soft nature of these towels often causes them to fold and/or lose their shape when making contact with the users back. As such, the user must make several awkward movements and/or contortions of their body to ensure the towel cleans their entire back.
In light of the above, it would be beneficial to provide a back and body washing device that combines the soft and comfortable nature of a traditional towel with the ability to maintain a specific shape during use. |

This invention relates to optical diffraction and reflection gratings, and more particularly, this invention relates to Bragg gratings.
Bragg gratings and similar fiber optic and other optical grating structures are produced in glass, plastic or silicon to spread out an optical spectrum or other radiation. These gratings usually consist of narrow, parallel slits or narrow, parallel, reflecting surfaces that break-up waves as they emerge.
As is well known, light of all wavelengths is scattered at all angles. At some angles, however, light adds constructively at one wavelength, while other wavelengths add destructively (or interfere with each other), reducing the light intensity to zero or close to zero. In those ranges of angles where the grating spreads out a spectrum, there can be a gradual change in wavelength of the angle. With multiple grooves formed in a grating, light is concentrated in particular directions, and can be used as optical filters with other similar optical devices.
One commonly used optical grating is a Bragg grating used as a periodic grating, a chirped grating, a distributed feedback or distributed Bragg reflector grating (DFF or DBR), such as with laser, and a Fabry-Perot Etalon grating for a ring resonator as designed for use with add/drop multiplexers and similar optical devices. A Bragg grating is the optical equivalent of a surface acoustic wave (SAW) device. By having a tuned grating, there can be some compensation for dispersion conditions. Some optical filters use Bragg gratings that are tuned during fabrication, temperature tuned, or compression/strained tuned.
Prior art solutions for tuning gratings using temperature or compression/strain methods have a limited tuning range of typically only tens of nanometers maximum with a slow operation of tuning. As is known, the temperature and strain changes on Bragg deflection and change are set forth as:
xcex94xcexBRAGG=kTxcex94T+k"sgr"xcex94"sgr"
Also, multiple configurations are typically not possible in a single prior art device.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide tunable optical gratings that do not involve the tuning of the gratings using temperature or strain changes.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a tunable optical grating where the grating profile can be controlled over a wide range, such as in hundreds of nanometers.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a tunable optical grating having multiple configurations possible with a single device.
The present invention is advantageous and provides a tunable optical grating having a plurality of grating structures that are contained within an optical transmission path. A microelectromechanical (MEMS) actuator is operatively connected to each grating structure for changing the separation between the grating structures and tuning the grating to a desired wavelength selectivity.
In one aspect of the present invention, the grating structures form a Bragg grating and are periodic gratings. In yet another aspect of the present invention, the grating structures form a chirped grating. In still another aspect of the present invention, the grating structures can be a distributed feedback grating, distributed Bragg reflector grating, or a Fabry-Perot Etalon add/drop grating structure.
The Bragg or other grating can be formed on a silicon MEMS substrate. Formed MEMS actuators operatively connect each grating structure. The MEMS actuators can be photolithographically formed on the MEMS substrate or by other MEMS fabrication techniques, known to those skilled in the art. In yet another aspect of the present invention, the MEMS actuators can each comprise a flat, single layer silicon membrane structure.
In another aspect of the present invention, the MEMS actuators can each comprise at least one anchor support, and an arm member operatively connected to a grating structure, supported by the anchor support, and moveable therewith for moving the grating structure relative to another grating structure. The MEMS actuators also can comprise a hinged plate actuator operatively connected to each grating structure.
A tunable grating apparatus of the present invention can also comprise an optical waveguide defining an input port through which an optical signal is formed, such as a multi-wavelength optical signal, which passes through the grating structures. An optical waveguide can define an output port for receiving the optical signal from the grating structures. A collimating lens can be operatively connected to the input port to form a collimated optical signal. A converging lens can be operatively connected to the output port to converge the optical signal, all by techniques using lenses known to those skilled in the art.
In yet another aspect of the present invention, a tunable, add/drop optical network element includes an input port for receiving a multi-wavelength, optical signal and passing the optical signal along an optical transmission path. An output port receives the optical signal along the optical transmission path and passes the multi-wavelength optical signal with added or dropped optical signal channel components. An optical add/drop element is contained within the optical transmission path and includes a plurality of Bragg grating structures contained within the optical transmission path and forming a Bragg grating for receiving the optical signal and passing and/or reflecting optical signal channel components of a desired wavelength. A microelectromechanical (MEMS) actuator is operatively connected to each Bragg grating structure for changing the separation between the Bragg grating structures and tuning the Bragg grating to a desired wavelength selectivity.
In yet another aspect of the present invention, add and drop ports are operatively connected to the optical add/drop element, where optical signal channel components of desired wavelength are added and dropped. The Bragg grating structures are preferably configurable to be responsive to different optical signal channel components.
In yet another aspect of the present invention, a tunable laser and filter apparatus includes a semiconductor substrate and a laser structure formed on the semiconductor substrate. The laser structure includes an active layer and a plurality of Bragg grating structures formed along the active layer to form a Bragg grating and provide optical reflections at a desired Bragg wavelength. A microelectromechanical (MEMS) actuator is operatively connected to each Bragg grating structure for changing the separation between the Bragg grating structures and tuning the Bragg grating to a desired wavelength selectivity and limiting the laser output to a selected narrow band mode. |
Gender dysphoria symptoms in schizophrenia.
Gender dysphoria in individuals with schizophrenia may result from the delusionally changed gender identity or appear regardless of psychotic process. Distinguishing between these situations is not only a diagnostic challenge, but also affects the therapeutic decisionmaking. The review of the literature shows that different delusional beliefs regarding belonging to another gender, anatomy or changes within the genitals affect about one-fourth of patients with schizophrenia. Contemporary classifications of disorders are moving towards the elimination of psychotic disorders as a disqualifying criterion in diagnosing gender dysphoria. It is also established that schizophrenia may change the picture of gender dysphoria, e.g., by giving meaning and delusional interpretations of the fact of the incompatibility of phenotypic sex with the sense of gender. At the same time, before making a therapeutic decision (especially aimed at gender reassignment), it is necessary to exclude the psychotic background of the desire for gender reassignment. In case of co-occurrence of both disorders, it is crucial to evaluate the chronology and dynamics of the individual symptoms, their constancy (prolonged observation), patient's criticism and response to antipsychotic treatment. |

Q:
I want to remove a line from a file using sed
The line is specicied by the user so I have the number of the line in a variable
sed $input 'd' file.txt > file.txt
The problem here is that I don't know where and how to put the variable $input. I have tried lot's of combinations and there are all wrong.
I know that if I put a single integer it works but I don't know the way with a variable
A:
sed -i "${input}d" file.txt
The variable needs to be in braces, use double quotes to prevent matching problems, and use the -i switch to act directly on the file

In oil and gas well drilling operations it is necessary to cement various tubular members to a subterranean formation at different points during the well drilling and completion operations. This practice is well known for various purposes, such as anchoring a surface casing to the earth to provide a solid leak-free top section of the well, and, in the lower portions of the well, to provide isolation between different subterranean zones.
Many wells are now drilled in deviated or non-vertical directions. This practice often utilizes a mud motor to rotate the drill bit without the need to rotate the entirety of the drill string. Conventional mud motors are run on a work string and are retrieved from the wellbore before the string of tubulars, typically casing, is run in the hole.
Applicant is aware that a third party has developed a mud motor that is relatively inexpensive and can be abandoned in the wellbore. This disposable mud motor is run on the end of the casing string.
During cementing operations, it is desired that the cement slurry not be pumped through the mud motor so as to prevent the mud motor from continuing to rotate. Further, mud motors have a high pressure differential across motor which may adversely affect the rate at which the cement is pumped and delivered to the annulus between the casing and the wellbore.
In order to facilitate cementing around, rather than through, a mud motor, the cement must be able to pass from a bore through the casing string to the exterior of the casing string and then be able to pass around the exterior of the mud motor. To accomplish this, ports are provided in a wall of the casing to allow cement to pass therethrough. As will be appreciated by one of skill in the art, a hole drilled through the wall is insufficient. There are many steps in the drilling process where having ports open between the interior and exterior of the casing would be undesirable. It is known that the timing of opening of ports in the casing must be controllable.
Prior art solutions have used conventional burst disks to control the opening of the ports using a predetermined pressure. Once the burst disks, positioned above the mud motor have ruptured, cement flowing down the bore of the casing exits the casing wall through the open ports created thereby for flowing the cement around, rather than through, the mud motor.
Applicant has found however, that conventional burst disks do not open reliably. Further, where a plurality of burst disks are used, if a first burst disk or a relatively small number of the plurality of disks burst, the pressure in the casing bore is relieved as the fluid flows to the wellbore, and thereafter, the pressure does not meet the threshold required to burst the remainder of the burst disks. One solution has been to attempt to significantly increase the pumping rate such that the resulting pressure is adequate to result in rupture of more of the burst disks.
Cementing operations typically require a relatively high pumping rate to ensure cement is pumped downhole through the casing bore and returned toward surface through the annulus between the casing and the wellbore. With only a single port or a small number of ports open through the ruptured burst disk or disks, the flow rate of cement is restricted to that possible through a openings or ports created by the rupture of the single burst disk or small number of disks.
Clearly there is a need in the industry for apparatus that reliably opens to permit pumping of cement through the work string, at a relatively high pumping rate, so as to flow around the mud motor and into the annulus between the casing and the wellbore. |
Paula Santos and I have some things in common. We both work in the museum world during the day, and by night, we both host podcasts about museums.
We even describe our day jobs in the same way: we are programmers. I am a computer programmer, writing the code that runs interactive media displays in museums. And Santos, as Community Engagement Manager at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a museum programmer, managing programs and events.
Paula Santos: Hello, I’m Paula Santos, I’m a podcaster, museum educator, and community organizing learner.
Over the past year or so, Santos has been thinking about the assumptions cultural institutions make about the communities they identify as “underserved.”
Paula Santos: We don’t always have to lead with our audiences need x, y, z, these people are underserved for x, y, z reasons. Our communities have social capital, they have art, they have their own resources, that us as institutions can absolutely build with, and that understanding that it isn't just a top down effect, where here we have a huge grant, and now we're going to fly a helicopter over this community and throw art supplies around.
When we spoke, Santos was a day away from presenting a culminating event of a show, and acknowledged that not just helicoptering in made a lot of people, including herself, nervous.
Paula Santos: We as an institution can build with a community and that means also ceding our power. And that makes a lot of people very nervous at a granular level. As a programer, it does make me nervous. For example, I have this program tomorrow where I really try to the best of my ability to cede the floor to an organization of young queer people to put on a culminating event for a show that we have at one of our satellite spaces. I'm nervous. I'm nervous not because I don't believe in them, I totally believe in their vision, and they will be there, and they’re going to follow through, but I'm nervous because I ceded that control and I don't know how the institution will respond in the long run. When it's actually happening, that is totally relinquishing of control, as much as I can give.]
Santos’s nervousness is part of her conscious effort not to take the easy route in her work. Her critique is that many institutions, when attempting to serve as many people as possible, take the easy route -- and helicoptering in is easier than actually ceding control.
Paula Santos: We make a lot of choices in who we serve, why we do what we do, what kind of money do we pursue for our programs, where we are going to bend for funders, and we are entirely part of the larger machine of what makes things unjust and oppressive. So I feel like that's where I stand. It's not so much, we have a civic duty of justice, but more like we are members of society and how can we do cultural work in a way where we can truly work with all aspects of society, and not just the ones that are most convenient or the ones that are most privileged, or the ones that are easiest. A lot of the decisions when we think about justice and all those sorts of things, it isn’t so much that people are making ideological decisions a lot of times they’re making decisions based on time.
Santos is particularly interested in how the work we do in museums, non-profits or other cultural organizations intersects and is informed by larger questions of race and inequity in society. The work that Santos does, and her honesty discussing it, is what makes her podcast so compelling.
Paula Santos: My podcast is called Cultura Conscious, where I interview cultural workers on their work in community, on their work with justice and equity.
Santos chose a title that gave her enough room to explore many types of topics with many cultural producers.
Paula Santos: I think that I wanted to show a little bit of the fact that I'm bilingual, that I'm a woman of color, and that this was going to be really thoughtful about culture. I was like, Culture Conscious and I was like ugh, does that sound like an after-school special? So then just putting it in Spanish finally landed in a place where I was like this is not super heavy as a name, it’s not like I’m toeing around a name that’s like, oh my god, I have deep cultural knowledge, but maybe could allow me to explore many types of topics.
The idea for the show came from a cultural worker discussion collective which Santos was a part of when she lived in New York.
Paula Santos: Talk about a really formative experience. A group of colleagues, really spearheaded by Kiana Hendricks, who was my first guest, she started a collective of cultural workers in New York. All of us had kind of overlapped at the Brooklyn museum in some way or another. This group really helped me figure out what I really had to say and contribute about cultural work in general and also even just realizing that I did have something to contribute, period. Essentially what we we were doing was a collective of professional development. It would be anything from marketing and branding to talking about critical race theory or whatever it may be. Now that I think about it, thinking about grassroots and community work — we have each other and we build together, that we don’t have to wait for institutions or wait for other people to deem us worthy of granting us some form of knowledge. We can build that ourselves. And my conversations with collective members were so fruitful and so insightful. I was like I want to start this podcast, and everyone was so supportive.]
Cultura Conscious just celebrated its year anniversary. Santos says that she wanted make sure that all her guests for the first year were people of color, a trend which will for at least the next few episodes. The podcast comes directly out of her interest in what she calls the nuts and bolts of museum work -- where she sees the justice work museums and individuals need happening.
Paula Santos: All this nitty gritty stuff that you wouldn’t find in a journal article, or on a blog post about a culminating thing about a program, but just the day to day. There are people who are doing everyday, nuts and bolts work that are very invested in justice work, and they’re not the people who are leading the national conferences or the keynotes. I’m far more interested in that nuts and bolts aspect, which is probably why my interviews are so long.
That is why Santos and I only have some things in common.
Cultura Conscious is an excellent podcast, and you should subscribe and listen at culturaconscious.com. There’s a theme to Santos’s work: we don’t have to wait for institutions or wait for other people to deem us worthy. The whole structure of podcasting is an exercise in not waiting for permission from someone else. And crucially, it’s a reminder to those working within institutions that arts and culture creators don’t wait for permission either. |
Q:
Filtering array of objects with predicate by function
I'm pretty new to NSPredicate, and sorry if this is newbie question, but I'v done my research and couldn't find answer to this.
I would like to filter array of custom objects by their function, not property.
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"%@ LIKE %@", [times objectAtIndex:x] ,[unit realTime]];
NSArray *filtered = [objectArray filteredArrayUsingPredicate:predicate];
the objectArray contains only unit Objects. And i would like to filter the array by each object in Array by [unit realTime] method result. Basically I'd like to have filtered array where [times objectAtIndex:x] == [unit realTime]. Is this possible to do?
A:
You can add realTime as an @property() NSDate *realTime; in Unit.h file and then implement realTime method just like how you have already done. That way realTime is a param in class and you are overriding the getter method with your custom implementation. It shouldnt show an undeclared identifier error in this case.
Once you have done that, change the predicate statement as,
NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"%K LIKE %@", unit.realTime, [times objectAtIndex:x]];
NSArray *filtered = [objectArray filteredArrayUsingPredicate:predicate];
You should use %K to for unit.realTime and not %@.

Harsh Vardhan in charge, RSS takes up campaigning in Delhi
The RSS is aiming to get first-timers, the youth and women back in its fold.

After the BJP faced flak for inefficient door-to-door campaigning in the run-up to the Assembly elections held last December, the RSS has taken up the task in an effort to recapture votes that were lost to the Aam Aadmi Party. The move comes after Harsh Vardhan, who is known to be close to the RSS, took over as Delhi BJP chief.
Sources claimed that the RSS has already completed one round of door-to-door surveys. It is learnt that the organisation has been given a free hand in monitoring campaign activities in Delhi.
The RSS is aiming to get first-timers, the youth and women back in its fold.
“The RSS has taken charge of various tasks which will be crucial for our victory in LS elections. It has completed one round of door-to-door campaigning and surveys.
Our focus is to get back the youth votes that went to the AAP,” a senior BJP leader said. Apart from checking the voters’ list in each locality, the RSS cadre is also working on generating mass support for BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
After the BJP failed to get a majority in the Assembly elections, the party brass acknowledged that they could not do door-to-door campaigning effectively due to differences in the party. Much of this was blamed on former Delhi BJP chief Vijay Goel’s style of functioning. |
Analysis of case-control age-at-onset data using a modified case-cohort method.
Case-control designs are widely used in rare disease studies. In a typical case-control study, data are collected from a sample of all available subjects who have experienced a disease (cases) and a sub-sample of subjects who have not experienced the disease (controls) in a study cohort. Cases are oversampled in case-control studies. Logistic regression is a common tool to estimate the relative risks of the disease with respect to a set of covariates. Very often in such a study, information of ages-at-onset of the disease for all cases and ages at survey of controls are known. Standard logistic regression analysis using age as a covariate is based on a dichotomous outcome and does not efficiently use such age-at-onset (time-to-event) information. We propose to analyze age-at-onset data using a modified case-cohort method by treating the control group as an approximation of a subcohort assuming rare events. We investigate the asymptotic bias of this approximation and show that the asymptotic bias of the proposed estimator is small when the disease rate is low. We evaluate the finite sample performance of the proposed method through a simulation study and illustrate the method using a breast cancer case-control data set. |
Hospitalized children's views of the good nurse.
Research relating to patients' views of the good nurse has mainly focused on the perspectives of adult patients, with little exploring the perceptions of children. This article presents findings from a qualitative study that explored views of the good nurse from the perspective of hospitalized children. The aims of the study were threefold: to remedy a gap in the literature; to identify characteristics of the good nurse from the perspective of children in hospital; and to inform children's nursing practice. Twenty-two children were interviewed using an adapted 'draw and write' technique. Five themes relating to children's views of the good nurse emerged from the analysis: communication; professional competence; safety; professional appearance; and virtues. Each of these will be discussed in relation to good nurse literature and recommendations made for children's nursing practice. |

Electrical injury to the heart may cause long-term damage to conducting tissue: a hypothesis and review of the literature.
Electrical injury, particularly alternating current, may lead to disease of conducting tissue, myocardial damage or may cause sudden cardiac death. Subtle abnormalities, particularly of sinus node function, may pose diagnostic difficulties and may not present for many years. The long-term follow-up of patients, perhaps as part of a registry, will help to define the clinical spectrum of cardiac presentations of electrical injury. |
Q:
What intent-filters must my app cover to appear in chooser when requestion an image from an external app?
What are the possible intent-filter I need to cover to make sure that any external app requesting an image will see my app in the list?
To clarify, I'd like my app to appear when doing the following:
So far I've covered:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PICK" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:mimeType="image/*" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.GET_CONTENT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:mimeType="image/*" />
</intent-filter>
However, if using the Tumblr app and pressing "Add photo", my app does not appear in the chooser dialog. Which filter am I missing out on?
A:
I had covered the correct intent-filters, however the Tumblr app requires the category OPENABLE, so instead of the filters I had I'm now using:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PICK" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:mimeType="image/*" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.GET_CONTENT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.OPENABLE" />
<data android:mimeType="image/*" />
</intent-filter>
Only adding the line:
<category android:name="android.intent.category.OPENABLE" />

Eye-head-hand coordination in pointing at visual targets: spatial and temporal analysis.
This study investigated whether the execution of an accurate pointing response depends on a prior saccade orientation towards the target, independent of the vision of the limb. A comparison was made between the accuracy of sequential responses (in which the starting position of the hand is known and the eye centred on the target prior to the onset of the hand pointing movement) and synergetic responses (where both hand and gaze motions are simultaneously initiated on the basis of unique peripheral retinal information). The experiments were conducted in visual closed-loop (hand visible during the pointing movement) and in visual open-loop conditions (vision of hand interrupted as the hand started to move). The latter condition eliminated the possibility of a direct visual evaluation of the error between hand and target during pointing. Three main observations were derived from the present work: (a) the timing of coordinated eye-head-hand pointing at visual targets can be modified, depending on the executed task, without a deterioration in the accuracy of hand pointing; (b) mechanical constraints or instructions such as preventing eye, head or trunk motion, which limit the redundancy of degrees of freedom, lead to a decrease in accuracy; (c) the synergetic movement of eye, head and hand for pointing at a visible target is not trivially the superposition of eye and head shifts added to hand pointing. Indeed, the strategy of such a coordinated action can modify the kinematics of the head in order to make the movements of both head and hand terminate at approximately the same time. The main conclusion is that eye-head coordination is carried out optimally by a parallel processing in which both gaze and hand motor responses are initiated on the basis of a poorly defined retinal signal. The accuracy in hand pointing is not conditioned by head movement per se and does not depend on the relative timing of eye, head and hand movements (synergetic vs sequential responses). However, a decrease in the accuracy of hand pointing was observed in the synergetic condition, when target fixation was not stabilised before the target was extinguished. This suggests that when the orienting saccade reaches the target before hand movement onset, visual updating of the hand motor control signal may occur. A rapid processing of this final input allows a sharper redefinition of the hand landing point. |

KCTD5, a putative substrate adaptor for cullin3 ubiquitin ligases.
Potassium channel tetramerization domain (KCTD) proteins contain a bric-a-brac, tramtrak and broad complex (BTB) domain that is most similar to the tetramerization domain (T1) of voltage-gated potassium channels. Some BTB-domain-containing proteins have been shown recently to participate as substrate-specific adaptors in multimeric cullin E3 ligase reactions by recruiting proteins for ubiquitination and subsequent degradation by the proteasome. Twenty-two KCTD proteins have been found in the human genome, but their functions are largely unknown. In this study, we have characterized KCTD5, a new KCTD protein found in the cytosol of cultured cell lines. The expression of KCTD5 was upregulated post-transcriptionally in peripheral blood lymphocytes stimulated through the T-cell receptor. KCTD5 interacted specifically with cullin3, bound ubiquitinated proteins, and formed oligomers through its BTB domain. Analysis of the interaction with cullin3 showed that, in addition to the BTB domain, some amino acids in the N-terminus of KCTD5 are required for binding to cullin3. These findings suggest that KCTD5 is a substrate-specific adaptor for cullin3-based E3 ligases. |
Healthy Eating for Kids Made Easy
Getting children to eat more nutritious and healthy foods is usually a BIG concern for moms nowadays. There are just too many unhealthy options bombarding them at the grocery store, at restaurants and eateries, and in the school cafeterias. Moms have to work double time it seems to make sure healthy foods don’t completely disappear from the menu. This becomes especially important when we take a look at some of the health problems facing young kids today that are increasingly being associated with poor nutrition such as juvenile diabetes, obesity, and attention deficit disorders. Kids as young as two years old have been found that already have plaque build-up in their arteries.
What can you do though when your kids just don’t prefer the healthier foods and vegetables in particular? If they want a candy bar instead of fresh fruit what do you do? Giving up and letting them eat whatever they want is not an option. It is time to get creative and here are some ideas.
Be a Sneaky Chef – The easiest way to overcome an aversion to healthy foods is to hide them inside other foods so that your kids either do not know they are there or they don’t care. This subject was debated a lot last year with the release of The Sneaky Chef and Deceptively Delicious, two books that provide information about creating vegetable purees and then inserting them within other foods. The idea behind this is that kids will still get the nutritional benefit of their vegetables while still enjoying the “taste” of their favorite foods. The purees can be used in making macaroni and cheese, chicken nuggets, pizza, and even brownies.
There are some parents though that feel sneaking the veggies into the meal does not effectively teach kids the importance of eating healthfully. Other parents have decided the benefits circumvent this reasoning. Personally I do not see why healthy eating education cannot include teaching children to disguise the healthy foods they find unappealing inside the foods they do like, perhaps creating a life long habit. Be up from and honest about what you are doing and problem solved. I use this approach all the time when I add greens or seaweed to their fruit smoothies and Popsicles, sprinkle ground flax on their food, or otherwise disguise the stuff they don’t particularly care to eat on its own.
Get Kids Involved – One of the best ways to make certain that kids are enthusiastic about their meal is to have them participate in making it. When they help out with meal preparation and cooking they feel a great sense of accomplishment and that in itself makes the meal more appealing. Even younger kids can help out by measuring or mixing ingredients, finding recipes inside magazines or cookbooks, and setting the table. Even toddlers can help when you use a Learning Tower. The excitement of making the food can only be surpassed by the excitement of actually trying it.
Growing the food makes it all the more appealing as well. It allows them to see first hand how food grows and makes its way to our dinner plate. Even if you have to use containers on a small apartment patio your kids can still grow their own food, perhaps grape tomatoes or strawberries. Kids are much more likely to try and enjoy foods that they grow themselves. If you don’t have a garden or even if you do…you can’t possibly grow everything. Look for Pick Your Own farms in your area where you can wander the farm and pick your own fruits and veggies. My kids absolutely love visiting nearby farms and coming home with baskets of goodies.
Presentation is Everything – My number one tip for parents to get their kids to eat healthier is to make it fun and exciting. This is why I love bento boxes, lunch trays, and other inventive ways to make the meal more fun. If you want them to enjoy nutritious foods then market them just as hard as the junk food companies do! Present the food in fun ways, dress up the table like you are having a party, and flex your creative muscles. Doing this does require a lot of effort but the payoff is worth it.
My oldest son’s classmates have often expressed jealousy when they see his lunches…the beautiful boxes, the cloth napkins, the food arranged in cute ways like the fruity rainbow lunch a made last year (below) or hard boiled eggs shaped like fish. Even veggies wrapped in nori (seaweed) become an object of desire because they are unique and special. One of his teachers even sent home a note asking how much I would charge to make her lunches. ;)
Another thing we do at home is eat by candlelight at least once a week. We turn off the lights, light a few candles and have a “romantic” dinner together. The kids love it and what’s on the menu is not much of an issue. Another idea would be to take the meal outside. Eat at a patio or picnic table or even a blanket on the front lawn. It is way less messy (no crumbs to clean up) and kids have a blast. You might also decide to load up a nice picnic basket and take your meal to a local park.
Don’t Buy the Bad Stuff – Are you being your kids dealer? Are you bringing the bad stuff into the house? I am amazed when I hear moms complain about how their kids eat nothing but macaroni and cheese, potato chips, and soda and then find it is mom buying the stuff for them. Seriously, it is like buying drugs for them and complaining when they use them. You don’t HAVE to buy unhealthy foods if you don’t want to. Just stop already.
Give Them Time – It can take many repeated exposures to certain foods before kids feel comfortable trying them. The key is not to pressure them and make the dinner hour one of tension. Pressuring kids to eat things they don’t want to can work against our ultimate goal. Just keep serving up the healthy foods with each meal and let children get used to seeing them on their plates and their parents plates and they may come to accept them in time. Also, remember that children mimic the actions of their parents so the next time the salad is passed to you realize that a big “I LOVE salad” can go along way. Next time you need a snack, explain how these nuts or these goji berries will make you feel much more energized and happy than a handful of potato chips. Set the example and the kids will follow.

Q:
Method which handle HttpResposeMessage
I need to create method which handle HttpResposeMessage.
Method should throw an exception if error exist, client will handle rest.
You can see my code bellow. This code is working fine and doing what I want, but still it looks quite ugly to me.
Do you have some ideas for nicer implementation?
[Authorize]
public abstract class BaseController : Controller
{
protected readonly ILogger logger;
protected readonly IHostingEnvironment env;
private readonly IStringLocalizer localizer;
public BaseController(ILogger logger, IHostingEnvironment env, IStringLocalizer localizer)
{
this.logger = logger;
this.env = env;
this.localizer = localizer;
}
protected void HandleResponseError(HttpResponseMessage response, ILogger logger)
{
if (!response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
var message = String.Empty;
if (response.StatusCode.Equals(HttpStatusCode.Forbidden))
{
message = this.localizer["Forbidden"] + ": " + this.localizer["You have not the appropriate rights to access this page."];
}
else
{
try
{
message = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(message))
{
message = message = this.localizer["Communication error with server"];
}
}
catch
{
message = this.localizer["Communication error with server"];
}
}
logger.LogError($"Client error message {message} !");
throw new ApplicationException(message);
}
}
}
A:
Considering that there is no else to if (!response.IsSuccessStatusCode), you should do:
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
return;
}
This saves on indentation and makes your method easier to read.
I'd use string.Format for things like this:
message = this.localizer["Forbidden"] + ": " + this.localizer["You have not the appropriate rights to access this page."];
Why is localizer a property on the class this method belongs to, but logger is not? And why do you need to write this.localizer?
In the end there's not much code to review, and perhaps you should consider posting the whole class.
A:
I see this method does currently two things: it creates the error message and it throws an exception. This is too much and should be separated.
You should extract a method that creates the error message and call it by the handler.
protected string CreateErrorMessage(HttpResponseMessage response)
{
if (response.StatusCode.Equals(HttpStatusCode.Forbidden))
{
return localizer["Forbidden"] + ": " + localizer["You have not the appropriate rights to access this page."];
}
try
{
var message = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(message))
{
return localizer["Communication error with server"];
}
}
catch
{
return localizer["Communication error with server"];
}
}
and
protected void HandleResponseError(HttpResponseMessage response, ILogger logger)
{
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
return;
}
var message = CreateErrorMessage(response);
logger.LogError($"Client error message {message} !");
throw new ApplicationException(message);
}
The code is usually easier to understand with less nesting so I changed the first condition to return if there was no error.
You use string interpolation but not everywhere - try to be consistent when it makes sense - here it does.
"Communication error with server"
This and other keys should be constants that could have much shorter names.
static class Translation
{
const string AccessDenied = "...";
const string CommunicationError = "...";
}
Usage:
return localizer[Translation.CommunicationError];
This is less error prone as you don't have to type the same text over and over again.
A:
In the constructor two things can be improved. One and most important is the validation of arguments, so no null dependencies get injected, preventing a NullReferenceException down the line. The other, and less important, it's typically accepted as a good practice that constructors of abstract classes should not be public, but private instead, as they cannot be instantiated directly anyway. I would rewrite it as this:
protected BaseController(ILogger logger, IHostingEnvironment env, IStringLocalizer localizer)
{
if(logger == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(logger));
if(env == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(env));
if(localizer == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(localizer));
this.logger = logger;
this.env = env;
this.localizer = localizer;
}
In the HandleResponseError method, why there is a logger parameter? This is exactly the same that it's injected in the constructor, why are there two of them? It's not clear from the code. Possible alternatives would be to remove it and just use the class variable or if there is a legitimate need to have another, different logger for just this method, rename the parameter to something more specific regarding that, and use this parameter in the logging at the end.
As with the constructor, arguments should be validated and proper exceptions thrown as soon as possible:
if(response == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(response));
if(logger == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(logger));
As a final note, I would not use ApplicationException in case of failure, because it's considered useless and because generally this leads to catching general exceptions. Instead, I would define my own exception and try to catch that if possible. Even if that's not useful right now, it might provide some future-proof in case a special handling is needed with this particular case, which would be quite difficult to do if you use a general exception class.

Alienware Steam Machines to release annually, “there will be no customization options”
Alienware will launch its first Steam Machines in September, and according to general manager Frank Azor, new machines will be released every year – and aren’t upgradable.
Speaking with TrustedReviews via PCR, Azor said the machines will be released in a similar vein to consoles with the hardware locked. So, if consumers want to play games on this particular system at the newest setting with the latest technology, they will have to buy an entirely new system.
“Lifecycle wise, consoles update every five, six, seven years, we will be updating our Steam Machines every year,” said Azor . “There will be no customization options – you can’t really update it. The platform will continue to evolve as the games become more resource intensive.
“If you actually want to customize your Alienware Steam Machine, maybe change your graphics card out or put in a new CPU, you would be better off with the standard Alienware X51. This particular product is restricted in its upgrade options.” |
Subcellular dynamic imaging of protein-protein interactions in live cells by bioluminescence resonance energy transfer.
Protein functions rely on their ability to engage in specific protein-protein interactions and form complexes that are dynamically regulated by stimuli. Bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) is a highly sensitive technique, which allows monitoring of interaction between two proteins: one tagged with the luminescent donor Renilla luciferase, the other with a fluorescent acceptor such as YFP. We adapted this method to single-cell imaging. To this aim, we tag proteins of interest, transfect cells with these fusions, and use the high-sensitivity microscopy, combined with electron multiplying cooled charge-coupled device (EMCCD) cameras and improved bioluminescence probes. We thus achieve rapid acquisition of high-resolution BRET images and study the localization and dynamics of protein-protein interactions in individual live cells. |
Q:
Where should I ask my printer-installation question?
I just asked:
Missing a driver for a SMB-accessed Brother printer
but on second thought - would it be better to ask it on superuser.com or on askubuntu.com ?
A:
Your question is on-topic here, there's no doubt about it. It would also be on-topic on Ask Ubuntu and on Super User.
Your question requires knowledge about a specific piece of hardware, and it's always hard to find someone who has experience of that specific model. But maybe someone can advise on SMB printers in general, or on Brother printers.
If there's a way to use the Windows machine as a printer server, people on SU are more likely to know it, since SU has Windows expertise. I'd guess that your chances of getting an answer that doesn't involve knowledge of the Windows server are about the same on AU and on U&L, and lower on SU.

Ergo, the secretive, CIA-linked firm that was paid by Uber to investigate the plaintiff in one of the ride-hail startup’s many lawsuits, has now admitted to lying and illegally recording phone calls during its probe, according to Law360. Lawyers for Ergo owned up to the infractions in oral arguments in court Thursday, drawing a rebuke from the judge overseeing the case.
Last December, Spencer Meyer filed a proposed class action lawsuit against Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, alleging a scheme to fix prices in violation of antitrust laws. The same day, Uber hired Ergo to investigate Meyer out of concern he posed a security risk to Kalanick. But Ergo also gathered information on Meyer’s lawyer, a move that some critics say went too far. Ergo’s lawyer argued that the firm was unaware the investigation was tied to a lawsuit, even while admitting Ergo’s investigator “dissembled and used false pretenses in his duties,” Law360 said.
“dissembled and used false pretenses in his duties”
During the hearing, US District Judge Jed Rakoff mused “it must have been a disappointment” when Ergo reported to Uber that Meyer and his lawyer had no skeletons in their closet. “My tentative thinking is that the only relief against Ergo is the relief they are consenting to,” Rakoff said, according to Law360. “I don't mean to suggest in any way that the court is not bothered and baffled by [what] happened at Ergo."
Uber’s use of Ergo, which is run by ex-officials from the CIA and the National Security Council, was first revealed in hundreds of pages of emails and other documents that were filed in court. The paper trail revealed the lengths the sharp-elbowed startup would go to gather information on its legal foes.
Meyer’s lawyers want compensation from Ergo for the costs of uncovering the investigation, while Uber’s lawyers are requesting the judge compel Meyer to settle his case through arbitration. Rakoff, however, has yet to rule from the bench. A decision is expected in the weeks to come. |

The company further argued that statements on its platforms could "escalate" already tense situations, putting fans and Riot staff in danger.
The position isn't likely to assuage critics. People (including US senators) have already accused Blizzard of caving in to Chinese censorship in order to avoid angering the Communist Party and lose business -- Riot's policy won't do anything to allay suspicions it's doing the same. This isn't helped by Riot's Chinese ownership. While Tencent has stakes in a number of companies, including Activision Blizzard and political speech defender Epic Games, it has complete ownership of Riot. In theory, Tencent might feel pressured to silence mentions of Hong Kong protests lest it face retaliation at home.
There's the risk of a backlash as a result. Blizzard faced an almost immediate uproar over its ban, both online and among its own employees. Riot may not have banned anyone as of this writing, but gamers might see it as just a matter of time and object in a similar fashion. |
Q:
How to move a garage opener switch and minimize damage to sheetrock
The garage opener was installed a couple feet away from the door which makes it awkward to trigger in enough situations that I finally just (temporarily) nailed it over next to the doorway. But I need to do something more permanent and less ugly.
The problem is what to do with the wire? There are two studs between where it's mounted and the door.
I'm thinking that since I have to repair the original hole anyway, maybe enlarge it to expose the stud, chisel or drill a path for the wire through it, and pop it up there above the light switch box.
Anyone have better ideas? And suggestions on how to patch the hole?
[Update]
I opened up the wall around the hole to expose the 2x4. As a complication, there's a wood backboard behind the dryway, so had to drill/chisel through that. I didn't have a coat hanger, but had a similar stiffness wire that I used to poke through the insulation. I twisted the end of the stiff wire into a loop using needlenose pliers and attached a flexible wire, pulled that through, and tied it around the door opener wire. With all that done, the garage opener wire was easily pulled through the hole and reconnected to the opener.
A:
Because it is drywall, you can do pretty much as you suggest:
Enlarge the existing hole enough so that you can drill a hole through the stud
Cut a hole for the switch above the light switch box
Take the door switch off the cable and feed the cable through the stud
Use a coathanger/hook/other tool to catch the cable and pull it through the new hole
Reattach the switch and install into the wall
Plaster and smooth old hole
Paint as necessary
Job done.

Q:
Using provision profile for Lite version of App
I've released an app and now i'm planning to release a Lite version of the app. So i copied and pasted the project folder in Documents - Xcode Projects, and the renamed it Lite. I've amended the relevant code and can run it in the simulator, but as soon as i come to put it on an actual device it says errors like A valid provisioning profile for this executable was not found. and various others. Does anyone have a quick bit of advice about developing a second app and what provisioning profiles to use for it or what would someone do in my situation (having essentially duplicated a Xcode project folder - did that cause a mess?)
Thanks
A:
You need a new provisioning profile since each application is unique. If you right click on your project in the left sidebar and select get info after downloading and opening your new provisioning profile, you can select the new one.

Q:
FrameLayout wrap_content
I have a problem with FrameLayout. I want to create FrameLayout which will have it's first child's height and the second child will get it's parent's height(100dp in this example). But what I get is the FrameLayout is filling the screen(match_parent).
Here is my xml.
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp" />
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</FrameLayout>
How can I make FrameLayout to be as big as it's first child and the second child as big as it's parent? Do I need to use different parent?
A:
Using RelativeLayout will surely serve you what you are trying to achieve:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<View
android:id="@+id/view_id_1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp" />
<View
android:id="@+id/view_id_2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/view_id_1"
android:layout_alignTop="@+id/view_id_1" />
</RelativeLayout>
Hope this helps!

Q:
how to cut part of string
How to cut part from this string...
"abb.c.d+de.ee+f.xxx+qaa.+.,,s,"
... where i know position by this:
Result is always between "." (left side of result) and "+" (right side).
I know number of "." from left side and number of "+" from right side, to delimit resulting string.
Problem is right side, cause i need to count "+" from end.
Say...
from left side: begining is at 4th "."
( this is easy ), result is =
"xxx+qaa.+.,,s,"
from right side: end is at second "+" from end!
"xxx[here]+qaa.+.,,s,"
result is =
"xxx"
I try to do this myself with .substring and .indexOf, but with no success...
Any ideas? thanks
A:
You could use the StrReverse function to reverse the character sequence and then count + from the left (using the same method as counting the .).

A double-blind comparison of nefopam and placebo used as a premedication in children.
Forty-two children received either nefopam or a matched placebo as oral premedication in a double-blind trial. Nefopam performed no better than placebo as a premedication and as postoperative analgesic. Its use is not recommended in paediatric anaesthesia because of a significantly high incidence of vomiting on awakening. |
CSP regulation of exo-endocytic cycle enhances synaptic stability. Synapses are intricate structures that undergo structural modifications constantly. In healthy brains, synapses are maintained by activity-dependent mechanisms. These processes are compromised in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, leading to profound synapse loss early in disease progression. The purpose of this project is to investigate presynaptic mechanisms of synapse maintenance using a mouse lacking the co-chaperone cysteine string protein (CSP). The nervous system of this mouse develops normally, however synapses are rapidly lost after maturation of the mouse, leading to gross neurodegeneration and early death. We have performed an unbiased screen for CSP clients, which indicates that CSP is interacting with select proteins involved in synaptic vesicle exo- and endocytosis. We therefore hypothesize that CSP stabilizes synapses by regulating the exo-endocytic cycling of synaptic vesicles and interacting with the presynaptic cytoskeleton. I will test our hypothesis by first examining activity-dependent synaptic vesicle cycling using stimulated neuron cultures, endocytic labeling and electron microscopic analysis. Next, I will establish an expanded list of CSP client proteins using pulldown experiments followed by proteomic analysis. Finally, using the list of client proteins, I will test whether any single client or a combination of clients are able to modify the synapse loss phenotype observed in CSP knockout neurons using overexpression and knockdown techniques. This study will provide insight into how synapses are maintained in healthy nervous systems and how synapses are lost in neurodegenerative diseases. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Neurodegenerative diseases are devastating for both patients and caretakers alike and will continue to affect an exponentially expanding portion of the population without novel therapeutics. A common denominator of neurodegenerative diseases is protein misfolding. By investigating an essential mechanism that assists synaptic protein folding, this project will characterize a novel pathway for prevention of neurodegenerative disease. |
