Quinton "Rampage" Jackson has gone from mixed martial arts to Hollywood, recently playing B.A. Baracus in the A-Team movie. Next up? How about his own video game.
Jackson is a gamer and once told ESPN that he had hooked up two original Xboxes in his personal limo just so he could play Halo. "You can't make more time, but I need more time to play video games," he said. "So I thought of this idea, let me put this in my car so I can play my Halo while somebody drives me around."
Rampage entered tournaments, but says he got his "ass kicked". He played online and once again got his ass handed to him. "But in my car with my friends, I whooped their ass or threw them out of my car."
And of course Jackson has already appeared in THQ's UFC franchise. It seems he is looking to take things to the next level. Rampage MMA, Jackson's multimedia company, has filed a trademark for "Street Soldier: The Video Game", points out website Destructoid.
However, Destructoid adds Rampage MMA has trademarked "Rampage Street Soldier" for use on everything to loose leaf binders to paper lunch sacks. This latest filing is rather specific and covers: "computer game software, computer game programs, pre-recorded motion picture and television films in the nature of real-time strategy games, computer game software that may be downloaded from a global computer network, computer game cartridges to be used in computer game machines adapted for use with television receivers".
Keep in mind that this is just a trademark filing. Trademarks are different from actual video games. If only you could play trademarks! |

Deliberative public participation and hexachlorobenzene stockpiles.
This paper is concerned with the quality of citizen involvement in relation to the governance of industrial risks. Specifically, it explores the hexachlorobenzene (HCB) case relative to best practice public participation, which is consistent with deliberative democratic theory. The case could be judged a public participation failure given that the community committee in combination with the corporate sponsor was unable to agree on a mutually acceptable technological pathway. This stalemate might have been attributable in part to the time spent on the task of review. A diligent participation working party could have created a much more effective public participation plan, grounded in the core values of professional public participation practice. |
Q:
Only connect users to ActionCable
I'm using ActinCable on my application, and I have an issue with authorization. Currently actioncable tries to authorize every single person live on the site, repeatedly as-well.
This returns a constant stream of An unauthorized connection attempt was rejectedin my log. Now that's because people visiting that aren't signed in, are also attempted to gain access.
My connection.rb looks like this:
module ApplicationCable
class Connection < ActionCable::Connection::Base
identified_by :current_user
def connect
self.current_user = find_verified_user
end
protected
def find_verified_user
if current_user = User.find_by(id: cookies.signed[:user_id])
current_user
else
reject_unauthorized_connection
end
end
end
end
now I'm wondering if I can make it so that only people that are signed in, try to become authorized by connnection.rbinstead of every visitor using the site. I am too unfamiliar with ActionCable to know how to limit this - and the documentation for ActionCable are still in their early days.
A:
The connection attempt is when ActionCable.createConsumer() is called. You should try to call it only when user is logged in.

A group of scientists is calling for ethical guidelines for ‘mini-brain’ transplants in animals which could potentially invoke consciousness.
The transplantation of human ‘mini-brains’ – known as brain organoids – into animals is an increasingly popular research method to study disease. However, with this expansion comes ethical concerns from a group of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
Writing in Cell Stem Cell, the group said there is a minute chance that these grafted organoids could one day induce a level of consciousness in the creatures because they closer resemble human brains as they become more sophisticated.
A real pea-brain
The research group calls for an ethical framework that better defines and contextualises these organoids and establishes thresholds for their use. This latest paper accompanied another article which reported the presence of brain patterns – known as oscillatory activity – in brain organoids.
Brain organoids grown in the lab are currently no bigger than the size of a pea and are derived from human pluripotent stem cells. For the importance of research, they recapitulate important brain architecture and several basic layers of the human cortex, sharing many genetic similarities to the human brain.
However, this is where many of the similarities end. Those currently in use lack key cells for overall brain maintenance as well as other cell types that are essential for the organ to work. Yet the Pennsylvania research group warns that efforts to make ‘better’ brain organoids is progressing at a fast pace.
Avoiding potential pitfalls
“Current brain organoid transplantation is more likely to worsen brain function than improve it,” the authors wrote, “because transplantation involves the creation of a surgical cavity that likely leads to loss of function and a lack of connectivity.
“We argue that determining the degree to which an animal is similar to a human is less constructive than considering the possibility of specific brain enhancements and how these enhancements could influence an animal’s moral status.”
The group went on to note that regardless of the functional outcome of brain organoid transplantation, the host animal’s wellbeing and other socio-legal matters would need to be considered.
The study’s first author, H Isaac Chen, said: “While today’s brain organoids and brain organoid hosts do not come close to reaching any level of self-awareness, there is wisdom in understanding the relevant ethical considerations in order to avoid potential pitfalls that may arise as this technology advances.” |
Controlling Blood Pressure
Heart valve disease does occur if you have an existing problem with one of your heart valves. It's essential for the general public to keep yourself updated of the implications of this disease. In the worst case scenario, this disorder could cause the premature death of someone. For that reason, an early on detection and a prompt treatment might eliminate further outcomes occurring. The diagnoses, causes, indicators, functions, and even the solutions are very important information concerning heart valve conditions.
The heart consists of a few houses that are come up with to pump blood to the entire body. There are numerous parts inside the three layers of outer structures of one's heart. They're the important parts of the center. In-between these chambers there are heart valves.
The mitral valve are available in-between the left atrium and the left ventricle. It has two booklets that truly flail because the valves open and close. At the other aspect, the tricuspid valve is found between the right ventricle and the right atrium, and it's three leaflets. The idea for the names of the valves comes from their structure.
The function of these heart valves would be to supply a stream of blood within the heart. The stream of blood is very important to keep the normal function of the center. The valve provides the blood a lobby before leaving each step by opening its leaflets. Inversely, it prevents the blood from flowing backwards by closing its flaps after the stream of blood through it. The leisure and the contraction of the heart tissue triggers the open-and-close mechanism of the valves which handle the flow of blood.
When the reason for the heart valves diminishes, as a result of germs or other situations, the capabilities of the heart can also be disrupted. Vomiting is the flow of blood with a backward course, and stenosis is the narrowing of the heart valves.
Many manifestations usually takes place, since the heart-valve disease does occur. The particular condition of the illness doesn't necessarily think about the manifestations. It could occur abruptly depending on the duration of the disease progression. The progress of this condition can vary greatly in one person to another. Some individuals could have a longer illness process. The outward symptoms may mimic other conditions including heart failure.
It is always better to stop a disease than to cure a disease. This is particularly true for this disease since the treatment comprises an expensive complex approach that requires administration of drugs and surgical treatments. Steering clear of the occurrence of heart-valve disease could be the immediate cure for a sore throat by using potent antibiotics. This treatment is completed to prevent the incidence of rheumatic fever that ultimately can result in valvular heart diseases. Keeping a healthier heart diet will also stop the occurrence of the disease. Early recognition of the symptoms is just a very good extra precautionary measure to prevent further complications. For example helpful resources. |

DayZ has been the break out phenomenon of PC gaming this year. What would it look like adapted as a film? Renowned YouTube fake movie trailer maker Bloodrunsclear has had a stab at finding out.
His fake DayZ movie trailer uses sound bites from the horrific Miami face-eating incident; Peter Gabriel's version of My Body is a Cage; and clips from numerous zombie films (and other genres) to create a rousing montage - a look at what could be.
DayZ creator Dean Hall tweeted a link to the video this morning.
Bloodrunsclear has also produced a fake Sleeping Dogs movie trailer, a fake BioShock movie trailer, a fake The Secret World movie trailer and a fake Lollipop Chainsaw movie trailer. They're all fab, and they're all posted below. |
The Trees and the Axe
A MAN came into a forest and asked the Trees to provide him a
handle for his axe. The Trees consented to his request and gave
him a young ash-tree. No sooner had the man fitted a new handle
to his axe from it, than he began to use it and quickly felled
with his strokes the noblest giants of the forest. An old oak,
lamenting when too late the destruction of his companions, said
to a neighboring cedar, "The first step has lost us all. If we
had not given up the rights of the ash, we might yet have
retained our own privileges and have stood for ages." |

Stop Under-valuing Vocational Education
Marion Plant OBE, Principal of South Leicestershire College (SLC) has called upon parents, teachers and employers to value vocational education as much as academic achievement.
Marion made her plea following the publication of a new report by the IPPR, an influential think tank.
The report, ‘Remembering the Young Ones’, by the IPPR, an influential think tank, says: “Vocational education in England needs to be reformed so that it is held in higher esteem by employers and young people alike. As a pathway into work, higher-level vocational education should be seen as a valid alternative to a university education.”
Marion said: “Whether people go to college, take an apprenticeship or go to university, they all want to be in work in the end. Universities train young minds brilliantly. Increasingly, they’re focused on employability, as we all are. It’s important for all education providers to recognise that a good deal of success in work depends upon more generic vocational skills.
Virtually all jobs require people to be able to function in organisations, to work in teams, to communicate effectively, to get on with people and to create value, whether that is public value or wealth. In a sense, all work is vocational. Of course, some jobs require far more brain power than others but there is a danger, particularly as the UK gears up for massive international competition, of devaluing vocational education.
Vocational education, if properly valued, should be at the core of our economic success. All education is about enabling people to be the best they can be. Where our young people are making the most of their skills, the UK is far more likely to be able to make the most of our opportunities.” |
Cytoplasmic hybridization in Nicotiana: mitochondrial DNA analysis in progenies resulting from fusion between protoplasts having different organelle constitutions.
Our previous studies indicated that fusion products with one functional nucleus but organelles of the two fusion partners (i.e. heteroplastomic cybrids) could be obtained by fusing X-irradiated (cytoplasmic donor) with non-irradiated (recipient) Nicotiana protoplasts. The present report deals with the analysis of mitochondria in cybrid populations resulting from the fusion of donor Nicotiana tabacum protoplasts with recipient protoplasts having a N. Sylvestris nucleus but chloroplasts of an alien Nicotiana species, and exhibiting cytoplasmic male sterility. The two fusion parents showed significant differences in restriction patterns of their chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA. Four groups of cybrid plants were obtained by this fusion. All had N. sylvestris nuclei but contained either donor or recipient chloroplasts and had either sterile or fertile anthers. There was no correlation between anther fertility and chloroplast type. The mitochondrial DNA restriction patterns of sterile cybrids were similar to the respective patterns of the sterile fusion partner while the mitochondrial DNA restriction patterns of the fertile cybrids were similar to the respective patterns of the fertile fusion partner. The results indicate an independent assortment of chloroplasts and mitochondria from the heteroplastomic fusion products. |

In this paper, we derive internal consistency restrictions on short-term and long-term interest rate forecasts as published by the central banks of the Czech Republic, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden. We find different degrees of forecast consistency across these countries and also document that consistency is more apparent among short-term forecasts compared to long-term forecasts. Our results are robust when taking a more complex lag structure and more consistency restrictions into account. These results offer interesting policy implications as central banks´ interest rate forecasts can be regarded as an important instrument of central bank communication. |
Studies show dairy products and high glycemic foods, however, can trigger acne
Avoid long hot water showers, consuming too much dairy and junk, skipping moisturizing because you have oily skin and popping zits
Spicy food can make things worse
Don’t skip your meals – your blood glucose rises and your body experiences a significant change in your hormones, including insulin. Once insulin increases, it will trigger your ovaries to produce more testosterone which can result in not just acne, but weight gain, too.
If you have acne, try gluten free for a month
It turns out that chocolate has the potential to cause acne because of its high sugar content. The quick sugar rush it gives can cause mayhem in your skin.
Vitamin D is an important vitamin for the function of several tissues in the body, including the skin. It protects them from bacterial irritation which, in essence, means decreasing the chances for your pores to become inflammatory zits.
When you don’t have as much vitamin D, you become at risk of zits.
Caffeine has an effect on your stress hormones. The more caffeine you consume, the more your stress hormones can get triggered.
These hormones, in turn, can initiate an inflammatory response and increase in your sebum production.
When you don’t moisturize, you are practically depriving your skin the moisture it needs to protect itself and carry on its functions. So, what it does is produce more sebum to “compensate” for the moisture it “lost”.
Too much oil on an acne-prone skin is never good
Whether you like it or not, acne can happen on your back, too. That’s because you also sweat and produce oil there. And, unlike the zits you can get on your face and neck, back acne tends to be more painful and bigger.
Using wrong make up remover.
Unfortunately, some formulas tend to be damaging to the skin, like those non-rinse type. Since you’re not required to wash it off, makeup residues, dirt and oil can remain on the surface of your skin and clog your pores.
You’re using the wrong sunscreen. Wearing sunscreen before heading outdoors is non-negotiable. You can’t forgo protection just because you are breaking out. If you are constantly having zits every time you’re wearing SPF, you’re probably using the wrong formula or the wrong ingredients. |
Q:
Accessing `runtimeconfig.json` content without reading it manually
For certain reasons I need to detect the target .net core version in the executing assembly from a class library. Although this information is available in the runtimeconfig file, I don't want to guess the exact file name (as it also includes the name of the executable) and then read and parse it manually because I think the information contained in this file must have been already read and stored in someplace as the compiler already needs to find and target the right assembles in order to execute the app.
The question is that where can I access the content of this file? For example, I used to get the runtime configuration from the app.config file using the following method:
var value = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Key"];
A:
I don't think your assumption is justified. You are correct that the compiler must read this information but it has no reason to store the information, and even if it does, even less reason to think this should be available through an API. (I could be wrong; then again, I won't be convinced until someone shows me such an API.)
If you don't want to guess the name of the file, I think your best bet would be to retrieve a list of all the files in the directory, finding a string that ends with ".runtimeconfig.json", and reading that file.

PANIC DISORDER
by Fred Penzel, Ph.D.
Panic disorder would best be described as sudden episodes of intense fear accompanied by strong physical discomfort which might include such sensations as rapid heartbeat, nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath, feelings of unreality or distance from one's surroundings, etc. (see Self-Screen For Panic Disorder elsewhere on this site). Panic attacks may occur either when awake or asleep. The disorder tends to begin during the teenage or early adult years, and is believed to affect one out of every seventy-five people. About one third of those with panic disorder also suffer from what is known as Agoraphobia. A Greek word, it literally means "fear of the marketplace" and has been interpreted to mean fear of open spaces, however, this is not correct. In actuality, it could be characterized as a fear of having a panic attack when venturing away from home, either when alone or accompanied. Thus, Agoraphobia sufferers tend to have a very restricted ability to travel, and may sometimes become housebound. Traveling on trains or buses may be a problem, too, as sufferers fear they will not be able to get off, if and when they start to feel anxious. Most difficult situations for Panic sufferers would seem to have, as their main element, a feeling of being physically "trapped" somewhere, where flight is not possible. When traveling by car, they often may prefer to be the driver, so that they can be in control of the car and either pull off the road or turn back if anxiety should set in. When driving on highways, they may also tend to drive exclusively in the right-hand lane for the same reasons. Driving via back roads rather than main streets is frequently seen. Driving over bridges or through tunnels can be extremely difficult or impossible for Agoraphobia sufferers. It would almost seem that their whole lives are dedicated to avoiding the experience of a panic attack. Other activities which seem to be difficult for Panic sufferers would include standing on long lines, in stores, sifting up front or in the middle of a row in a theatre (away from the aisle), or sitting far from the entrance in a restaurant.
There are a number of theories about the genesis of panic attacks. Several competing biological theories suggest that there is some type of brain dysfunction that makes sufferers prone to panic attacks. One theory hypothesizes that there is a "suffocation alarm" in the brain that is being inappropriately tripped off. Another theory suggests that some individuals possess an "anxiety sensitivity" which makes them more prone to overreact to their own feelings of anxiety. These possibilities are still in the process of being researched. There does exist some evidence that the tendency to develop Panic Disorder may run in families.
Although they might have difficulty believing it at first, panic sufferers actually cause their own panic attacks. From the cognitive viewpoint, panic disorder (with or without Agoraphobia) would appear to be based upon a misinterpretation of the bodily experiences that normally accompany anxiety. Sufferers may actually believe that their rapid heartbeat means that they are having a heart attack; that their shortness of breath means that they are suffocating or choking to death; that their feelings of dizziness mean that they will faint or pass out; or that their feelings of unreality or distance from their surroundings mean that they are losing control or will go crazy. They seem to not be able to recognize that what is happening to them is the normal "fight or flight" response, in which blood pressure drops, and adrenaline is pumping into their bloodstream, causing rapid heartbeat. Sufferers also engage in a certain amount of superstitious thinking if they have experienced a panic attack in a particular place, or during a particular activity, they may come to believe that these places or activities actually cause panic attacks. Because of this, they avoid these things, and their lives become more and more restricted. This sets up a vicious circle, which tends to generate more and more panic attacks as time goes on. Thus, a sufferer will become apprehensive when approaching a particular situation, or when experiencing a particular sensation, which will then generate bodily sensations of anxiety. They may also breathe abnormally hyperventilating or holding their breath, which only worsens things. They become increasingly fearful of these sensations, which only generates more apprehension and physical sensations. This turns into a downward spiral that culminates in a full-blown panic attack.
Treatment generally requires a multi-pronged approach. First, would be behavioral therapy (BT). In BT, patients are taught anxiety management skills, which would include breathing retraining (to fight the tendency to hyperventilate or hold one's breath when anxious), and progressive muscle relaxation to damp down the "fight or flight" reaction and accompanying sensations. A further technique known as "interoceptive exposure" is also used. Using this, patients are taught how to gradually bring on and expose themselves to greater and greater doses of the physical sensations they fear, in order to build a tolerance to them, and to learn they really are not harmful. This amounts to conducting behavioral experiments to see if dreaded predictions will actually come true.
Second, is cognitive therapy. This is employed to teach sufferers how to challenge their misinterpretations of their own physical sensations, and correctly identify what is really happening to them. It aims to correct this unhelpful self-talk. Beliefs such as "A racing heart means I am having a heart attack, "or "Feeling of unreality mean that I will go crazy" are examined for their logical content, and then corrected. This is done at first, in practice exercises, and then later in real-life situations on a systematic basis. Cognitive therapy may also be useful in another way. I have frequently observed that Panic Disorder may begin or worsen in individuals who find themselves "trapped" by life circumstances such as relationships, jobs, family problems, etc.. These are obvious sources of stress, which is known to worsen all types of psychological problems. Cognitive therapy can help them to cope and to sort things out so they can find solutions to these situations, thus relieving the stress caused by them.
Third, may be the use of medications, although whether or not these are required may depend upon the individual and the intensity of their symptoms. While the biological basis of panic disorder has not yet been established, it is clear that in severe cases, medication will be necessary and helpful. It is probably best to look upon medication as a tool to help you to do cognitive/behavioral therapy. Although antianxiety medications such as Xanax and Klonopin are widely used to treat panic, they are habit-forming, and are short acting. Many individuals do better using SSRI-type antidepressants, which only have to be taken once per day, and will not cause withdrawal if discontinued. Medication can lower the panic threshold, and many sufferers who take it observe that while they may experience some pre-panic sensations, the attacks don't seem to occur. This gives them more confidence to then pursue behavioral assignments and to restore their mobility.
One further suggestion which I have frequently recommended to my Panic patients, and which many have found helpful is that they become involved in some type of activity which helps to reduce their physical tension. This may include some form of regular exercise or stretching regimen. I have actually found yoga to be extremely helpful, and have sent quite a number of my patients to classes to study it. It teaches stretching, breathing skills, and meditation - all extremely useful to panic sufferers.

[CME: Typhoid Fever - Clinical Manifestation, Diagnosis, Therapy and Prevention].
CME: Typhoid Fever - Clinical Manifestation, Diagnosis, Therapy and Prevention Abstract. Thypoid fever is rare in Western countries. It is, however, among the most common etiologies for febrile illness in the traveller returning from tropical areas (especially South(east) Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa). There are several signs that have been described as classical findings in typhoid fever: i) febrile temperatures with relative bradycardia, ii) eosinopenia, iii) slow defervescence, and iv) systemic manifestations (e.g. hepatitis). Diagnosis is confirmed by positive blood cultures. Pretravel vaccination and safe food and water practices can prevent typhoid fever. |

How to search the internet for terms with special characters
How do you use Google (or perhaps other search engines) when special (punctuation) characters are involved?
I'm searching for things in programming languages where punctuation marks are part of the terms, but often left off when run through most search engines.
A:
You may not be able to search for them. Search engines discard most punctuation, usually fold upper and lower case together and index only whatever's left. Which characters are discarded and which are kept varies from one engine to another, based in part on their own analysis of what users are trying to find. For example, when I worked on the Microsoft engine (what's now called Bing), we initially discarded plus signs until we realized that caused problems on searches for C++.

Q:
Courcelle's Theorem: Looking for papers
I am looking for an easy and introductory paper on the proof of Courcelle's Theorem. I am also interested in its connection to parameterized complexity regarding the treewidth.
I am only a beginner in this field.
Any suggestions?
A:
There's a soft introduction in Rolf Niedermeier's book Invitation to Fixed Parameter Algorithms. Daniel Marx also has quite a few slides available on his homepage that contain short examples of modeling a problem in MSOL. One set of relevant slides is here. For more links, see a related question on CSTheory.
A:
Courcelle's Theorem is one of the things that is better explained (compared with Niedermeier's book) in the book of Flum and Grohe (see the treewidth chapter), since model checking problems etc. are covered in detail there. By the same authors and Frick there is also a generalization of Courcelle's Theorem: Query evaluation via tree-decompositions. You might also look at similar meta theorems for clique-width and shrub-depth.
Also look here for a short overview of some of Courcelle's earlier papers.

[Pathologic and anatomic evidence of peritoneal metastases].
Peritoneal metastases are secondary tumours of the peritoneum and the most common tumours at this location. Ovarian carcinoma, colorectal cancer, and gastric cancer are the most frequent ones that show peritoneal involvement, along with carcinomas of the pancreas, gallbladder, uterus, and lung. Primary tumours originating in the peritoneum such as malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, primary peritoneal carcinoma, and benign peritoneal tumours along with inflammatory and reactive lesions must be differentiated from peritoneal metastases. Especially in cancer of unknown primary tumour, the discrimination between primary peritoneal tumours and peritoneal metastases is difficult and often requires immunohistochemical identification. |
The present invention relates generally to operator's cabs mounted on self-propelled crop harvesting machines, such as combines, and, more particularly, to an improved air filtration system that requires the use of a filter cartridge within the filtration chamber to enable the service door to be latched.
Modern self-propelled crop harvesting machines are generally equipped with an enclosed operator's cab in which the operator is seated to control the harvesting operation of the machine. Such operator's cabs are generally provided with environmental controls, such as air conditioning and sound absorbing materials, to improve the quality of work environment for the operator. Operator cabs are generally mounted at an elevated position on the crop harvesting machine to afford the operator a field of view of the harvesting operation relative to the gathering of crop material from the field in which he is operating. To permit this field of view, the cab enclosure is provided with a number of transparent panels, normally glass, supported from vertical posts extending between the floor member and the roof member of the cab. To permit access to the cab, the cab enclosure is provided with an access door pivotally mounted to one of the support posts for movement between closed and opened positions.
Since the cab enclosures are generally sealed to maintain environmental conditions within the cab, it is necessary to provide a system for the inlet of fresh air into the enclosure. Typically, such systems provide an air filtration system to filter dirt and debris from the inlet air and, thereby, keep the interior of the cab enclosure as clean as possible. It would be desirable to provide an inlet air filtration system which would be easy and convenient to service from outside the cab enclosure, that would require the cab door to be closed during service operations, that would provide a visual indication when the filter cartridge is not installed, and that would not require the roof of the operator's cab to be lifted to affect service operations. |
Interesting article. I usually get thirstier when drinking lemonade but never really felt those effects with tea. Thanks for the post! Next time I drink tea I will have to really think about this and monitor how I feel.
If I’m thirsty after my tea, I make myself another one. But more and more it happens so that I quench my thirst with tea rather than water. For this purpose I often make iced tea with flavoured white teas, or white/green tea plus mint tea.
I drink tea as opposed to water to quench thirst. So I never knew tea could make one thirsty for more water. The article is interesting enough.
I tend to go at things blindly with gut feeling/reaction to my own. It takes a long time for me to do things because of this. Solo is not always good. I forget that you folks are tea merchants, sellers of tea and more experience.
Thank you for information. There is so much out there; exhaustively so. |
Analysis of starch metabolism in chloroplasts.
Starch is a primary product of photosynthesis in the chloroplasts of many higher plants. It plays an important role in the day-to-day carbohydrate metabolism of the leaf, and its biosynthesis and degradation represent major fluxes in plant metabolism. Starch serves as a transient reserve of carbohydrate which is used to support respiration, metabolism, and growth at night when there is no production of energy and reducing power through photosynthesis, and no net assimilation of carbon. The chapter includes techniques to measure starch amount and its rate of biosynthesis, to determine its structure and composition, and to monitor its turnover. These methods can be used to investigate transitory starch metabolism in Arabidopsis, where they can be applied in combination with genetics and systems-level approaches to yield new insight into the control of carbon allocation generally, and starch metabolism specifically. The methods can also be applied to the leaves of other plants with minimal modifications. |
[The body, which I have--the soma, which I am].
The body I have means health and efficiency. The body I am means the realisation of our innermost being. The body I am appears in the whole of the gestures wherein I express myself and present myself. The meaning of the body I am is to become more and more transparent for the inner transcendence. The task of the therapist is not only to restore health but as soon as he knows the body I am, the realisation of the inner image of the true self. |

Due to rapid development of technology and the Internet, the tie between the Internet and electronic devices has been closer than ever before, and plenty of information is available on the Internet.
Online games that feature a virtual environment are beneficiaries of the Internet boom. Users interact with each other and have fun through a computer on which the virtual environment is presented. Recently, social network websites are all the rage, thanks to the Internet.
Nonetheless, online virtual environments are neither true nor pertinent to reality. Interaction between social network website users is restricted to words and pictures and thus has room for improvement in terms of functionality and ease of use. |
The impact of assisted reproductive technologies on intra-uterine growth and birth defects in singletons.
Pooled odds ratios from meta-analyses of infants born following assisted reproductive technologies (ART) compared with non-ART singletons show increases in low birth weight, preterm birth, small for gestational age, and birth defects. Although there have been small reductions in recent data, odds associated with these outcomes are still higher for ART singletons. Both ART procedures and underlying infertility contribute to these increased risks. Outcomes appear better for frozen-thawed compared with fresh embryo transfers, but are poorer than for non-ART infants. There is a concerning increase in large-for-gestational-age infants born following frozen-thawed embryo transfer and limited data on the effects of embryo vitrification used instead of slow-freezing techniques. Using large datasets, we now need to investigate risks of individual birth defects and disentangle the inter-related effects of different types of infertility and the multiple aspects of ART. Greater understanding of the causes of adverse ART outcomes and identification of modifiable risk factors may lead to further reductions in the disparities in outcome between ART and non-ART infants. |
The amplification loop of the complement pathways.
The C3 amplification loop lies at the core of all the complement pathways, rather than the alternative pathway alone. It is, in evolutionary terms, the oldest part of the complement system and its antecedents can be seen in insects and in echinoderms. The amplification loop is the balance between two competing cycles both acting on C3b: the C3 feedback cycle which enhances amplification and the C3 breakdown cycle which downregulates it. It is solely the balance between their rates of reaction on which amplification depends. The C3 breakdown cycle generates iC3b as its primary reaction product. iC3b, through its reaction with the leukocyte integrins (and complement receptors) CR3 (CD11b/CD18) and CR4 (CD11c/CD18), is the most important mechanism by which complement mediates inflammation. A variety of genetic polymorphisms in components of the amplification loop have been shown to predispose to two kidney diseases-dense deposit disease and atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome-and to age-related macular degeneration. All predisposing alleles enhance amplification, whereas protective alleles downregulate amplification. This leads to the conclusion that there is a "hyperinflammatory complement phenotype" determined by these polymorphisms. This hyperinflammatory phenotype protects against bacterial infections in early life but in later life is associated with immunopathology. Besides the diseases already mentioned, there is evidence that this hyperinflammatory complement phenotype may predispose to accelerated atherosclerosis and also shows an association with Alzheimer's disease. Downregulation of the amplification loop therefore constitutes an important therapeutic target. |

Photosynthesis and respiration of a heterotrophic dinoflagellate Noctiluca scintillans that contained Pedinomonas noctilucae as an endosymbiont, were examined on cultures and natural populations in Manila Bay, Philippines, using a Clark-type oxygen electrode. The cultures isolated from the inner Gulf of Thailand were of two types: one required external supply of Dunaliella tertiolecta as food (feeding strains) and the other did not (non-feeding strains). The non-feeding strains grew photoautotrophically for generations, but they also fed on D. tertiolecta, indicating phagotrophy was facultative. Gross photosynthesis was at the same level in both types, but net photosynthesis was significantly higher in the non-feeding strains than the feeding ones. The difference was due to high respiration activity in the feeding strains. This was consistent with observations in the natural population of Manila Bay, where net photosynthesis was significantly higher in cells lacking food vacuoles than those with food vacuoles. The relationship of photosynthesis with irradiance was characterized by low intensity of light saturation and absence or weak photoinhibition, showing efficient utilization of a wide range of light intensities. P. noctilucae likely assures a supply of organic matter to the host, and facilitates survival of N. scintillans during shortages of food particles. |
An Open letter from the Fair.Coop Team recently explained:
We need to create a new, decentralized economic system: a metasystem to support, feed and connect multiple autonomous systems built in a distributed manner. Foreign exchange markets trading cryptocurrencies have been expanding rapidly in the past two years. With the concept of Global south, communities can define themselves and support one another from remote corners of the world. It’s time for the networked global citizenship to empower themselves as part of a fair economic system, without intermediaries, and create the change that has not been achieved from above.
CIC intends to use Faircoin to help build a larger ecosystem of economic institutions in the coming months. Here is a backgrounder piece on Enric Duran’s thinking.
Fair.coop will consist of a number of other vehicles beyond Fair.coin. They will include:
Faircredit , a worldwide mutual credit system for exchanging goods and services via Faircoin.
, a worldwide mutual credit system for exchanging goods and services via Faircoin. Fairfunds , a group of faircoin donation vehicles for various types of projects. The funds currently include the Global South Fund, the Commons Fund and the Technology Infrastructure Fund.
, a group of faircoin donation vehicles for various types of projects. The funds currently include the Global South Fund, the Commons Fund and the Technology Infrastructure Fund. Fairsavings , a “multisignature digital wallet which forces a minimum savings period of six months.”
, a “multisignature digital wallet which forces a minimum savings period of six months.” Faircoop wallet : a linked P2P multisignature wallet.
: a linked P2P multisignature wallet. Fairmarket, a source of faircredit to people who use faircoin.
The remarkable ambition of Fair.coop is to become a system of globally coordinated networks that link local projects. The basic idea: "to hack the foreign exchange market by inserting the cooperation virus as a tool for global economic justice.”
The whole system aims to be “fractal” in character, meaning that “from the experience in the root platform, it can be moved and replicated at different regional and local scales around the globe, with interoperability at different levels for the entire fair.coop ecosystem…. It will be, at the end of the day, about making the seed for cooperation, common good and fair economy expand to so many corners of planet Earth as possible.”
Inventing a new global monetary system is – let us concede – unprecedented. But after twenty years of living in networked culture, it’s also safe to say that “the experts” never anticipated crazy ideas like Linux, wikis, social networking, Bittorrent, open design and manufacturing, 3D printing or Bitcoin, let alone that millions of users would adopt such innovations with breathtaking speed. What really needs adjusting is our imagination and courage.
So why not a commons-based currency and financial system that meets the need for fairness, human development and ecological care?
The digital tools are mostly available. They just haven’t been deployed smartly enough; on a sufficient scale of social participation; and in a non-capitalist manner. There will surely be missteps and errors along the way, but that's the point -- to succeed faster by failing faster. If the many alt-economic movements were to join in this experiment in D.I.Y. monetary systems, lots could be learned rapidly. And there could be serious payoffs for the commons, social justice, free knowledge, ecological recovery and political participation -- without having to beg (unsuccessfuly) for such basic entitlements through a corrupted political and policy system.
Faircoop is inviting anyone to join the fair.coop social network and begin to take part in forums, group sand teams. There are several ways to participate:
** By volunteering time on Fair.coop projects; ** By contributing comments within the online forums, and so developing a “karma” reputation; ** By helping sustain the faircoin structure and especially by minting new faircoins; ** By donating to faircoin funds.
“Our vision as Fair.Coop promoters,” says the Open Letter, “is that this social network can become a commons, given the quality of its content and the building of projects related to practices and concepts like open cooperativism, integral revolution, equitable cooperation, self-management, community empowerment, digital commons and many more. There are thousands of appropriate technologies to help us coexist in synergy with the planet. We have little time left, and now is the time to share what we know and put our best ideas into practice.” |
Q:
Can an init function in golang return a value?
Can any one suggest any another approach to deal with initializing a database outside init function in my server.go program ?
I am using a MySQL in my program and it is my requirement to initialize and connect and send the handler to the controllers.
A:
You cannot return a value with the init() function but what you can do is initialize global(package) variables with it so you can try something like that:
package mysql
var Conn Connection
func init(){
Conn = ...
}
And now the controllers can access your connection importing your package and accessing your already initialized connection.
package controllers
import(
"mysql"
)
func abc(){
mysql.Conn ...
}

Q:
How to get a specific value from a JSON string
I have a JSON string like below:
{
"VCAP_SERVICES": {
"amazon-s3": [
{
"credentials": {
"accesskey": "somevalue",
"bucketname": "somevalue1"
}
"name": "foo"
},
{
"credentials": {
"accesskey": "someothervalue",
"bucketname": "someothervalue1"
}
"name": "bar"
}
]
}
}
I'm parsing it as below:
import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.json.JSONObject
import grails.converters.JSON
JSONObject myJson = JSON.parse(myString)
I would like to place values for accesskey and bucketname for both foo and bar in different variables
def foo_accesskey = null
def foo_bucketname = null
def bar_accesskey = null
def bar_bucketname = null
I tried the following which doesn't seem to be working:
myJson["amazon-s3"].each {id, data ->
if (id == "foo") {
foo_accesskey = myJson["amazon-s3"]["credentials"]["accesskey"]
foo_bucketname = myJson["amazon-s3"]["credentials"]["bucketname"]
}
else if (id == "bar") {
bar_accesskey = myJson["amazon-s3"]["credentials"]["accesskey"]
bar_bucketname = myJson["amazon-s3"]["credentials"]["bucketname"]
}
}
A:
Your json string is bad, you need a comma between credentials and name.
GroovyConsole using this shows how to address your elements.
def jsonStr = '{"VCAP_SERVICES": {"amazon-s3": [{"credentials": {"accesskey": "somevalue","bucketname": "somevalue1"},"name": "foo"},{"credentials": {"accesskey": "someothervalue","bucketname": "someothervalue1"},"name": "bar"}]}}'
def json = grails.converters.JSON.parse(jsonStr)
println json.toString()
println "-----"
def foo_ac
def foo_bu
def bar_ac
def bar_bu
json.VCAP_SERVICES."amazon-s3".each {
println "it: ${it}"
println "-----"
if (it.name == 'foo') {
foo_ac = it.credentials.accesskey
foo_bu = it.credentials.bucketname
}
if (it.name == 'bar') {
bar_ac = it.credentials.accesskey
bar_bu = it.credentials.bucketname
}
}
println "foo_ac: ${foo_ac}"
println "foo bu: ${foo_bu}"
println "bar ac: ${bar_ac}"
println "bar bu: ${bar_bu}"

Q:
Class conflict: two jar files with the same classes
I have two jar files with similar Util class names, but different method signatures.
In jar1, I have a main method which must use the method in Util class in jar1. The JVM is linking to Util class in jar2.
How to resolve this class conflict?
A:
If both jar files are loaded into the same classloader then there is no way to determine which class will get loaded. The only way to handle this is to isolate them so only one of them is loaded into the classloader you are using.
You can set up a classloader and only load the jar you want to get the class from, but it is probably much easier to just make sure classes are unique on your path.
A:
Normally one avoids that situation by using appropriate package names, such that they are different.
In extreme situations, where you dont have the choice to change the jar files,
there is the option "bootclasspath" where you can specify classes that gets loaded first.

Greetings diseased Fold!
What would your biggest problem be with being a vampire?
-bman |
As of late, my life has taken a turn down an unexpected avenue… that is covered wall to wall in paint. Last October, my friend and I adopted the hobby of sneaking around at night and exploding colorful fluid on flat surfaces in unconventional ways. Since then, we began crafting cannons for means of high velocity paint application, and maximum showmanship of course:
Around the same time that this practice was budding, I ran out and bought “Splatoon” since the vibrant ink sloshing nature of the game hit close to home. It would become my nightly mantra of Japanese bukakke-flavored vandalism from which I’d channel inspiration.
For those who aren’t familiar with the game, Splatoon is basically a paint-ball style shooter, where teams battle in mini turf wars to try and cover the most surface area with their color of ink. The game’s setting is in a nautical themed pseudo-Tokyo that is filled with teen-aged sea creatures and Japanese pop-culture. You and the other players of the world are squid kids (thus the ink squirting)… and you of course share the setting with jelly-fish, shrimp, sea urchins, and other evolved sea-kin…
The game’s characters have some darkness to them. If you’re a fan, you’d likely argue that the shady sea urchin sitting on the floor of the alleyway who mysteriously “acquires” the items you envy from the nearby squid kids, and also shucks the quivering pile of sea snails stacked next to him with a screw driver wins the award for most disturbing, hands down:
It’d argue however that Sheldon, the unassuming trilobite across the street, is by far leagues creepier that the pseudo-stoner sea urchin above. This kid’s got secrets.
So allow me to introduce you to the foremost of WTF…
When you log into the game, you appear in the middle of a busy cross-walk lined with skate-shops where you can buy clothing and other accessories. The most important of which is the storefront where you can purchase weapons and other ink slinging peripherals:
In here, you can find all sorts of fun toys made by the shop owner, a Boy Scout named, SHELDON.
He may look adorable standing there unassuming, but notice how he seems almost uncomfortably eager; with his hands folded quaintly. In the game he even bobs hurriedly back and forth like he is shy… or nervous. This might appear to be the hallmark of innocence, but I’m onto you Sheldon. Seriously. There is something slightly off here.
He is more than willing to offer a windy description of all his wares as you scroll through his list of weapons. Some of which he will mention were built from his grand-pappy’s blueprints (who was also a weapons monger himself).
If you happen to see something you like, Sheldon will gladly let you test any of his goods in a walled off area just behind his shop:
There’s nothing weird about it…
Just some high concrete walls, random patches of dirt and stuff. Totally normal.
I’ve wrecked this place dozens of times without any regard. But last night in my dazed and sleepy boredom… I started thinking about what was right in font of me.
…
…why mounds of dirt everywhere, Sheldon?
I’m not saying they were recently put there or anything… Every “back area” of an arms dealer’s lair has the right to be a little disheveled. What has me though is the obvious stipulation in regard to Sheldon and his family’s legacy of engineering ink weaponry:
Sheldon, though adorable, IS NOT A SQUID. He’s not even an ink producing cephalopod. Why is his shop called Ammo Knights when effectively, he has no way of creating any “ammo” to prototype his own weapons with?
Even if he doesn’t need ink in order to test his gear… doesn’t dedicating your life to the practice of building devices for another creatures fluid excretion border on the creepy?
just stuff to think about.
I use to come visit Sheldon after my nightly battles to say hi… maybe test out a new cannon or entertain the idea of sniping. He’s the type of cute I’d poke in the rib and say something vaguely inappropriate to as flirtation… but now every time I go into that back area with the high concrete walls, I can’t help but wonder if this is the time he doesn’t let me back out again.

The compiler middleware will run any data read in through the asyncronous compile function and
then save the results to the dest directory. If the source file has not changed, then the compiler
will immediately call next to allow the next middleware (such as static) to finish handling the
request, otherwise the compile function is called with an inputStream and outputStream. When
the outputStream ends (emits the end event) then next will be called so the next middleware
can finish the request.
This example sets up the combiner to read in files from the __dirname + '/scripts', combine any
with the extension .js and write them to the __dirname + '/static/scripts' directory. Note that
files will be combined alphabetically by file name, so a-file.js will come before z-file.js.
var app =require('express')();
var combiner =require('resource-compiler').combiner;
// Set up the combiner middleware.
app.use('/scripts', combiner({
src :__dirname+'/scripts',
dest :__dirname+'/static/scripts',
ext :'.js'
}));
// Use static to then serve the data to the client.
app.use('/scripts', express.static(__dirname+'/static/scripts'));
If you had the directory structure:
- scripts/
- app/
- app.js
- ignored.json
- someFile.js
- widgets/
- awesomeWidget.js
- coolestWidgetEver.js
- /lib
- angular.js
- jQuery.js
- lib.js
And a request of GET /scripts/app.js came in, the combiner would read in the files, in this order:
/scripts/app/app.js
/scripts/app/someFile.js
/scripts/app/widgets/awesomeWidget.js
/scripts/app/widgets/coolestWidgetEver.js
Then combine them into one stream and save that to /static/scripts/app.js. Notice that the file
/scipts/app/ignored.json will not be combined in the final script and that the directory
/scripts/app/widgets was recursed into and each .js file added as well. |
Study designs in paediatric pharmacoepidemiology.
Few data on the efficacy and safety of drugs in children are available as in the past, these children were not included in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Data on the efficacy and safety of drugs in children are extrapolated from adults. The EMA recognizes the need for long-term safety studies on various drugs, a need that can best be answered by pharmacoepidemiological studies. In this article, we provide currently available information on study designs within the field of paediatric drug research. A PubMed search was conducted on all pharmacoepidemiological studies in children. In addition, data from handbooks on pharmacoepidemiology were consulted. Data were reviewed and the relevant literature on study designs in paediatric pharmacoepidemiology is described. The various study designs in pharmacoepidemiology have their specific indications, all with their specific limitations. Case reports and case series are mainly used for signal detection of safety issues whereas case control and cohort studies are used for safety hypothesis testing. Observational studies can be conducted using data from automated databases that guarantee large sample size and long-term follow-up, which is ideal for safety studies, especially in case of rare events. Pharmacoepidemiological studies are crucial in research on the safety of drugs in children. Knowledge of the different pharmacoepidemiological methods is important to guarantee optimal use and correct interpretation of the data. |

Jennifer's Story
We first suspected a latex allergy when my daughter was almost two years old. We put a bandaid on a sore on her arm. A few days later, when we took it off, welts had formed just under the adhesive part of the bandaid. The welts gradually shrunk, but even a year later, you can still tell where the bandaid was placed, as some redness remained. She always had sensitive skin when she was in diapers. For example, if we put her in any diaper except Huggies Supremes, her bottom would break out in a horrible rash that got worse as she got older. It was unclear whether the break-out was due to the amount of moisture the diapers allowed to remain close to her skin, or whether there was some unknown substance in the diaper she was reacting to. It wasn't just a rash, it was an itchy oozy kind of rash that she scratched until it bled. The Doctor suspected sensitive skin, but with the information of the possible latex allergy, he said it was possible she was allergic to the plastics used in the diapers.
Back to the bandaids, we weren't sure if her reaction was from the latex or the adhesive or just skin irritation due to the bandaid being on for an extended time. The non-latex bandaids did not cause this reaction. We tried the latex bandaid again but for a shorter time, and it did turn red underneath.
Two days ago, her hands swelled up with hives for the first time. She had handled and eaten fish and had been in the cold just before it happened, but it is unclear which if either gave her the reaction. Yesterday she was playing with the balloons and a flour-water substance we were using to make paper-mache and her hands broke out in hives. Today, after handling the balloons (without the flour-water substance), she has hives on her hands and some on her shoulder and legs. In some places the hives are huge, looking more like welts. This weekend is the first time she has had this reaction after playing with balloons, though she has handled balloons several times in the past. |
The present invention relates to a serial printer provided with a printing support conveying lid.
Impact dot matrix serial printers re more and more used in the modern data processing systems.
In such printers the printing support managing functions are performed, as much as possible, in automatic way, without need of operator manual intervention.
Printing on supports of different kind, such as continous, multiple or single copy forms and single sheets is also provided.
The printing support must be precisely led to and away from a printing platen, extended transversely to the movement direction of the printing support, so as to be inserted between the platen and a printing head, movable along the platen in close proximity thereto.
The perfect contact of the printing support to the platen is of essence for obtaining reliable operation, good printing quality and low level of printing noise. |

Q:
LED's emitting high pitched noise
I have some LED lights hooked up to a trophy cabinet and for some reason it's emitting a fairly loud high pitched noise, does anyone know what this could be?
A:
It's impossible for an LED* to emit noise (more than once).
This is a problem with the power supply or driver circuit.
If these are 120V screw-in LEDs, then the built-in driver is the problem and replacing the whole unit is hte only option.
If this is a "plug-n-play" LED conversion of a fluorescent tube, then the old fluorescent ballast is still in play, and that is surely the source of the noise. It should be replaced with a ballast-bypass aka direct-wire LED, which will remove the ballast from the circuit altogether.
* If you think I mean the consumer products sold at Ikea and Walmart that replace incandescent bulbs, no. I make that clear later in my answer. I mean LED components. Which is very relevant to trophy cabinets, because they are typically LED "strips" comprised of actual LEDs, and separate power supplies.

Q:
Does escapeSingleQuotes esacpe backslash too?
Does escapeSingleQuotes escape backslash character too?
From the document it mentions:
If you must use dynamic SOQL, use the escapeSingleQuotes method to sanitize user-supplied input. This method adds the escape character () to all single quotation marks in a string that is passed in from a user. The method ensures that all single quotation marks are treated as enclosing strings, instead of database commands.
However if this only escapes single quote, in theory it does not prevent all kinds of SQL injections. For example,
I can have this as string: test\'@gmail.com.
escapeSingleQuotes will turn this into test\\'@gmail.com
When this is appended to the query:
SELECT Id FROM Contact WHERE Email = 'test\\'@gmail.com'
Backslash character will also need to be escaped to prevent this. If escapeSingleQuotes does escape backslashes too, it may be less confusing if the official document can be updated.
A:
It does escape the backslash before single quote. You should check documentation of escapeSingleQuotes(stringToEscape)
Below is how apex modifies the string - run it in anonymous apex and play-around
String s1 = 'a\'d';
System.debug(s1);
System.debug(String.escapeSingleQuotes(s1));
System.assertEquals('a\\\'d', String.escapeSingleQuotes(s1));
System.debug('a\\\'d' == String.escapeSingleQuotes(s1)); //true
System.debug('a\'d'== String.escapeSingleQuotes(s1)); //false
String s2 = 'a\"p';
System.debug(s2);
System.debug(String.escapeSingleQuotes(s2));
System.assertEquals('a"p', String.escapeSingleQuotes(s2));
For every single quote and backslash, it will add an extra backslash. Check below in anonymous:
String s1 = 'a\'d';
System.debug('a\\\\\\\'d' == String.escapeSingleQuotes(String.escapeSingleQuotes(s1))); //true

Americans often boast that we are a nation of laws, but for the moment laws appear to play a decidedly secondary role in the drama we are living in and—hopefully—through.
We have some guidance from our foundational law, the Constitution, which tells us how to proceed: the House of Representatives has “the sole power of impeachment,” the Senate has “the sole power to try all impeachments,” and must do so “on oath or affirmation.” The Senate cannot convict “without the concurrence of two-thirds of the members present.” And “when... |
evil eye
The power to cause injury or misfortune, as in The tomatoes died shortly after planting—I must have an evil eye. The source of this expression is the ancient superstitious belief that some individuals could inflict harm on others simply by looking at them. Today the term is generally used figuratively or ironically, as above, and also in the form
give someone the evil eye, which means “glare malevolently at someone.” For example, Helen gave his cat the evil eye, hoping it would stay out of her garden.

Registering Certificate Bundles in Node.js
The default trust stores for Node.js include the certificates needed to access AWS
services. In some cases, it might be preferable to include only a specific set of
certificates.
In this example, a specific certificate on disk is used to create an
https.Agent that rejects connections unless the designated certificate is
provided. The newly created https.Agent is then used to update the SDK
configuration. |

The preparation of food can be a time consuming and messy process. Moreover, the complexity of certain recipes and dishes can create a cluttered atmosphere in the kitchen. Often times during the cooking process utensils are used during the preparation of the food. During use, these utensils collect residue from various food products, creating an inherent problem regarding the storage of the utensil when the utensil is still being used for the preparation of the food, and when the user needs to focus on other things (for example, preparation of other portions of the meal). Many times, the user leaves the utensil on the side of the stove leaving behind food residue which later needs to be cleaned. In other situations, the utensils may be left in the container with the food as it is being prepared. This, however, presents additional concerns because the utensil may be tipped or even knocked out of the container, thus causing potentially hot contents of the container to spill. This presents both a potentially dangerous and messy situation.
The present invention provides a solution to the current existing problems associated with the use of a utensil during the process of food preparation. The container and cookware apparatus are configured to provide a support member on which the utensil may rest upon after the utensil has been initially used. Once placed upon the support member, a utensil can be cantilevered over the opening in the container so that at least a portion of the utensil can be positioned over the food after the utensil's initial interaction with the food. This arrangement prevents residue left on the utensil from its initial exposure to the food from getting anywhere else during the remainder of the food preparation process (including, for example, the stove top, countertop, floor, etc.), thus minimizing messes. Moreover, the utensil is not likely to be easily tipped or knocked over, which diminishes the likelihood of accidentally spilling the contents within the container. |
What are some long-term side effects of hydrocodone?
A:
Quick Answer
The long-term side effects of using hydrocodone include liver damage, physical and mental dependence, and death, according to Mayo Clinic. Hydrocodone is an opioid that blocks the brain’s ability to sense pain.
Keep Learning
Chronic use of hydrocodone causes individuals to build up tolerance to the drug, explains Healthline. Tolerance increases a person’s risk of a drug overdose because higher doses are necessary in order to achieve the same effect. Hydrocodone significantly slows or stops the normal heart rate, and excessive use can be fatal.
Long-term use of hydrocodone also has an adverse effect on the liver and digestive system, reports MedicineNet. Doctors commonly prescribe hydrocodone in combination with acetominaphen, a drug that causes serious liver damage with extended use. Additionally, chronic users of hydrocodone often experience side effects that include constipation or jaundice.
Individuals should not change or stop using hydrocodone without prior advice from a medical professional, warns Mayo Clinic. Failure do so increases the likelihood of experiencing physical withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, stomach cramps and difficulty sleeping. |

Try changing the .BorderStyle Property to something that looks better, i.e. none.
But rather not use a group control at all, or any other grouping control that may have some visible lines.
Panels are much more suitable for this (as per suggestions above).

A crossroads in predictive analytics monitoring for clinical medicine.
A new goal for medical informatics is to develop robust tools that integrate clinical data on a patient in order to estimate the risk of imminent adverse events. This new field of predictive analytics monitoring is growing very quickly. Its claims, however, can be vulnerable when clinicians fail to use the best mathematical and statistical tools, when quantitative scientists fail to grasp the nuances of clinical medicine, and when either fails to incorporate knowledge of physiology. Its potential, though is clear: we can provide more effective clinical decision support and make better predictive analytics monitoring tools if we apply principles learned from physiology and mathematics to the right problems in clinical medicine. |

I am using Flask and Nginx on my production server and Flask seems to log everyone out whenever I make a change to the code. I realize the reason for this, but I was wondering if there is any way to prevent this. I am using a proxy with Nginx if that makes any difference, I could easily switch back to uwsgi if that will fix the problem but I would prefer to keep my configuration the way it is.
Thanks for your help.

Luis Suárez, Kenny Dalglish, Ian Ayre and Man United: the statements
"Manchester United thanks Liverpool for the apologies issued following Saturday's game. Everyone at Old Trafford wants to move on from this. The history of our two great clubs is one of success and rivalry unparalleled in British football. That should be the focus in the future of all those who love the clubs."
"I have spoken with the manager since the game at Old Trafford and I realise I got things wrong. I've not only let him down, but also the club and what it stands for and I'm sorry. I made a mistake and I regret what happened. I should have shaken Patrice Evra's hand before the game and I want to apologise for my actions. I would like to put this whole issue behind me and concentrate on playing football."
Ian Ayre
"We are extremely disappointed Suárez did not shake hands with Evra before yesterday's game. The player had told us beforehand that he would, but then chose not to do so. He was wrong to mislead us and wrong not to offer his hand to Evra. He has not only let himself down, but also Kenny Dalglish, his team-mates and the club. It has been made absolutely clear to Suárez that his behaviour was not acceptable. Suárez has now apologised for his actions which was the right thing to do. However, all of us have a duty to behave in a responsible manner and we hope that he now understands what is expected of anyone representing Liverpool Football Club."
Kenny Dalglish
"Ian Ayre has made the club's position absolutely clear and it is right that Suárez has now apologised for what happened at Old Trafford. To be honest, I was shocked to hear that the player had not shaken hands having been told earlier in the week that he would do. But as Ian said earlier, all of us have a responsibility to represent this club in a fit and proper manner and that applies equally to me as Liverpool manager. When I went on TV after yesterday's game I hadn't seen what had happened, but I did not conduct myself in a way befitting of a Liverpool manager during that interview and I'd like to apologise for that." |
Q:
How to return a Button from a function in SwiftUI?
I need to dynamically create a Button based on some parameters
func buildButton(parameter : Parameter) -> Button {
switch (parameter){
case Parameter.Value1:
return Button(
action: {
...
},
label: {
...
}
)
case Parameter.Value2:
return Button(
action: {...},
label: {
...
}
)
}
}
But the compiler gives me this error:
Reference to generic type 'Button' requires arguments in <...>. Insert '<<#Label: View#>>'
So if I click Fix, the function declaration becomes
func buildButton(parameter : Parameter) -> Button<Label:View>
and the compiler gives
Use of undeclared type '<#Label: View#>'
What do I need to insert here to be able to return a Button?
A:
I'm not sure how important it is that you get a Button, but if you just need it to be displayed in another SwiftUI View without further refinements, you can just return some View. You only have to embed all your Buttons in AnyView's.
func buildButton(parameter : Parameter) -> some View {
switch (parameter){
case Parameter.Value1:
return AnyView(Button(
action: {
...
},
label: {
...
})
)
case Parameter.Value2:
return AnyView(Button(
action: {...},
label: {
...
})
)
}

White Orchid Beach House Maui a beautiful private wedding estate
White Orchid Beach House Maui a beautiful private wedding estate
White Orchid Beach House Maui Wedding Venue
This gorgeous private wedding estate is located in Makena, Maui’s South Shore. There are a lot of reasons why The White Orchid Beach House is one of my all time favorite wedding venues. First of all, it’s a private wedding estate, so you will ONLY have your closest family and friends at your destination wedding, not other guests (like at your typical resort wedding). This location on Maui is typically dry, though I always recommend having a tent for your wedding day just in case, but this is one of the drier sides of Maui.
The coastline is beautiful, being a Maui wedding film maker, I love to fly my drone and this is one of the best wedding venues to do so. The stunning Maui coast line, ocean waves, palm trees and light make for an exceptional location to capture incredible drone and land shots. The lighting in the house for the bride’s room is gorgeous and flattering too. There’s a beautiful white room for the bride to get dressed in before here wedding ceremony, and it has great even light showering in from the big window.
White Orchid Beach House Wedding Drone Shot
The White Orchid Beach house is ran by White Orchid Weddings, one of Maui’s top wedding coordinating companies, they also have the BEST wedding vendors on their preferred list so you will have the best videography, photography, DJ, catering and other wedding vendors Maui has to offer. This makes planning your day easy and stress free.
The convenience of the White Orchid Beach house, beauty, location, light and a team of vendors makes this one of my all time favorite wedding venues on Maui to film.
If you are interested in getting married here please contact me and I will connect you with one of their top wedding coordinators.
Thuy & Kevin got married at the White Orchid Beach House. They had their first look and some pre-wedding shots at the Four Seasons but all the main portions of their wedding day, such as their ceremony and reception, all took place at the scenic White Orchid Beach house.
You can tell from their amazing decor, personal vows, great speeches and touching moments, that the bride and groom had an amazing day. A big thank you to the wedding couple for having us be their Maui wedding cinematographers at White Orchid Beach House wedding venue in Makena, Maui. |

Q:
Como diferenciar botões de uma ListView?
Tenho uma ListView com ImageButtons em cada linha, e quero que quando eu clicar no botão ele salve o produto com o preço, para eu adicionar em uma activity. Como faço para pegar as informações da linha do botão clicado?
A:
Você pode associar um listener ligeiramente diferente pra cada um desses botões direto no Adapter. Seu getView ficaria mais ou menos assim:
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View linha = inflater.inflate(R.layout.linha_de_produto, parent,
false);
ImageButton carrinhoButton = (ImageButton) linha.findViewById(R.id.carrinhoButton);
carrinhoButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// Aqui entra o código que vai usar a variável position para fazer uma coisa diferente pra cada caso.
}
});

Cosplay Tips for Beginners: Venturing into the Wonderful World of Cosplay
Convention season is coming up, and that means many people are gearing up in the spirit of cosplay. Cosplay is quickly becoming more mainstream, with us nerdy girls and boys excited to dress up as our favorite fictional heroes and villains, but some people don’t know where to start when it comes to costume making.
If you are new to the cosplay scene and are interested in starting a first cosplay, this post will provide you with a bunch of useful tips to get started!
Who do you want to be?
You have the freedom to cosplay absolutely anyone you want, from movies and T.V. to gaming and comics, so what character speaks to you? Pick a character that you love because you will be spending time, money and energy recreating their costume.
Please note: There are no rules in the cosplay community which state you have to dress within your ‘body description’. Your weight, age, height, skin color and gender do not inhibit you from cosplaying anyone. Who you are adds a special something-something to your look, and is your personification of said character. Cosplay is a combination of the words “costume” and “play” and gives you the freedom to dress up different for fun. Just pick a character you love, and have fun with it!
What materials are out there?
Here is a list of some popular materials:
Fabric: Huge variety of textures and colours, versatile, found at fabric stores or online retailers.
Cardboard: Lightweight and found for cheap or free almost anywhere.
Craft foam: Thin, soft, flexible, found single sheets or rolls at a local craft store or online retailers.
EVA foam: Comes in various thickness grades, soft, flexible, found at local home and hardware stores or online vendors.
Thermoplastic: Thin, sturdy, warm up with a heat gun to bend and mold over various shapes, ordered from online vendors. Look up Worbla and Wonderflex.
PVC piping: Plastic, rigid tubes usually used for plumbing but provide excellent internal structures for props, found at local hardware stores.
Remember your budget
Cosplay can become an expensive hobby, and the money you spend on material and new tools adds up quick. It is a good idea to research different methods and find a material that suits your budget. Take into account, too, the additional tools you may need to buy in order to work with special materials, such as a sewing machine or heat gun. There is an initial start-up cost that comes along with starting your cosplay journey, but once you have the main tools you are set for a while.
Know your skill level
In your enthusiasm, it is easy to jump into a big project without quite knowing what you’re getting into. If you don’t have any or a lot experience with the materials you are about to use, try making a small test piece, for example a bracer. That way if you make a mistake and want to start again, you only used a small portion of your material. Also, when you are learning a new technique, it is totally okay to work slow. Even seasoned cosplayers spend time just thinking about their costumes and taking the time to work with new material. Take your time, but have confidence in your abilities as an artist and develop your skills with good practice.
Thank you for taking the time to read my advice for people just starting costume design! Cosplay is an amazing hobby that gets you to really explore your creativity and unleash your inner nerd. If you have any questions, tweet me @AshleyOshley or visit my Facebook page, Oshley Cosplay. I’m always happy to give tips and advice!

Whispering-gallery mode excitation in a microdroplet illuminated by a train of chirped ultrashort laser pulses.
The peculiarities of resonant optical field excitation inside a water microdroplet under illumination by a spatially bounded Gaussian beam with a temporal regime of a single chirped ultrashort laser pulse and a chirped pulse train are considered. It is established that the coupling efficiency of incident radiation to a selected high-Q whispering-gallery mode significantly depends on the interpulse interval in the train and chirping parameter of pumped laser radiation. The influence of the geometry of particle illumination by a laser beam and of the number of pulses in the train on the whispering-gallery mode buildup and its peak intensity is investigated. |

Dietary supplements for osteoarthritis.
A large number of dietary supplements are promoted to patients with osteoarthritis and as many as one third of those patients have used a supplement to treat their condition. Glucosamine-containing supplements are among the most commonly used products for osteoarthritis. Although the evidence is not entirely consistent, most research suggests that glucosamine sulfate can improve symptoms of pain related to osteoarthritis, as well as slow disease progression in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. Chondroitin sulfate also appears to reduce osteoarthritis symptoms and is often combined with glucosamine, but there is no reliable evidence that the combination is more effective than either agent alone. S-adenosylmethionine may reduce pain but high costs and product quality issues limit its use. Several other supplements are promoted for treating osteoarthritis, such as methylsulfonylmethane, Harpagophytum procumbens (devil's claw), Curcuma longa (turmeric), and Zingiber officinale (ginger), but there is insufficient reliable evidence regarding long-term safety or effectiveness. |

Intermediate filament proteins as tissue specific markers in normal and malignant urological tissues.
Immunocytochemical techniques have become valuable tools in many fields of clinical pathology and medical research. Especially the development of highly specific (monoclonal) antibodies to a large variety of tissue antigens has in recent years led to the establishment of sensitive tissue markers. One of the most promising types of tissue specific markers so far is represented by the intermediate filament proteins. Since the findings of this rapidly expanding field are also being applied in urology, we have reviewed the current data in order to describe the new insights in tumor biology and histogenesis, as well as their application in diagnostic pathology. |

How to log full outgoing mails in Postfix?
How do you get Postfix to keep a log of all outgoing mails, in their complete form (all headers + payload) as received from clients? The closest param I've found so far is always_bcc, but this loses some information (at least the RCPT-TO info). Thanks in advance for any hints.
A:
You can use a content filter that stores a copy of the mail somewhere. There is pretty good documentation on it at http://www.postfix.org/FILTER_README.html. It also contains an example content filter script that does exactly what you want.

But the buying of the newspaper did stir up a serious discussion within the De Rothschild family, reveals Philippe baron de Rothschild in an exclusive interview with Quote, which was published in our January edition.
‘There has been quite some discussion about the takeover of Libération by my uncle Édouard baron de Rothschild’, says Philippe. ‘Some family members wanted to block the purchase, because the medium would make us a political force. We wanted to avoid that at all cost. We have no interest in politics, at least not towards the outside world. In the end, the critics within our family were overruled.’
The interview with the De Rothschild descendant took place in his office at the Champs-Élysées, quite some time before the terrorist attacks. The complete interview can be read here (€, Dutch): ‘People will always remain jealous.’

Several years ago, Charlie and Barbara Gerlach of New Albany, Pennsylvania, decided to move onto land they owned that was used for hunting. The couple was concerned about where their food was coming from, and wanted to grow their own.
An orchard on the property had already been established, so the next project was a garden. Charlie and Barbara discovered that the soil needed amendments and had no time to create green manure, so they decided to buy a different manure source – three cows. And that's why they now have a host of farm animals.
"We soon learned that you don't just put raw manure onto your garden," Barbara says. "You need to compost it, and that's why we got three pigs. The pigs were purchased as a way to speed up the composting process because they actually use their snouts, and throw it around, and turn it for you."
The Gerlachs realized they didn't have enough pasture on their wooded land for the cows, so they bought six goats to clear away leaves and brush. They later added a donkey, chickens, and turkeys.
Before long, the Gerlachs had more produce, meat, and eggs than they knew what to do with, and they also needed a way to keep the farm sustainable. This led to the creation of a farm store and vacation rental on the property.
"We decided to go ahead and open up everything for sale," she says. "More as a service to the community than actual business, we had no business plan. It just sort of all evolved. Most of it became possible because we had opportunities to mentor with other farms through the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture. Without that organization we would not have been able to get the answers to the questions we had every day."
Barbara says they're now seeing more demand than product. They could expand, but she says they don't want to become overextended. |

Cancer immunology and canine malignant melanoma: A comparative review.
Oral canine malignant melanoma (CMM) is a spontaneously occurring aggressive tumour with relatively few medical treatment options, which provides a suitable model for the disease in humans. Historically, multiple immunotherapeutic strategies aimed at provoking both innate and adaptive anti-tumour immune responses have been published with varying levels of activity against CMM. Recently, a plasmid DNA vaccine expressing human tyrosinase has been licensed for the adjunct treatment of oral CMM. This article reviews the immunological similarities between CMM and the human counterpart; mechanisms by which tumours evade the immune system; reasons why melanoma is an attractive target for immunotherapy; the premise of whole cell, dendritic cell (DC), viral and DNA vaccination strategies alongside preliminary clinical results in dogs. Current "gold standard" treatments for advanced human malignant melanoma are evolving quickly with remarkable results being achieved following the introduction of immune checkpoint blockade and adoptively transferred cell therapies. The rapidly expanding field of cancer immunology and immunotherapeutics means that rational targeting of this disease in both species should enhance treatment outcomes in veterinary and human clinics. |

Left ventricular hypertrophy: a shift in paradigm.
Observational studies have identified left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) as a strong, independent risk factor for the development of heart failure (HF), coronary heart disease and stroke. LVH develops in response to hemodynamic overload. Classical conceptualization has it that LVH would start as an adaptive, beneficial response in order to normalize wall stress. With progression of the disease, deterioration to maladaptive hypertrophy, and further on to HF could occur. Recent experiments in animal models of pressure-overload and myocardial infarction now challenge this concept by demonstrating that blunting the hypertrophic response is actually associated with preserved cardiac function, and with improved survival. These findings may have profound therapeutical implications. |
Interference with GABA transmission in the rostral ventromedial medulla: disinhibition of off-cells as a central mechanism in nociceptive modulation.
Blockade of GABA-mediated synaptic transmission in the rostral ventromedial medulla by local application of GABAA receptor antagonists produces antinociception, indicating that a GABA-mediated inhibition of some population of neurons in this region is normally required if nociceptive information is to be transmitted. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the medullary circuitry mediating this antinociception by recording the activity of putative nociceptive modulating neurons in the rostral ventromedial medulla before and after local infusion of the GABAA receptor antagonist bicuculline methiodide. It was thus possible to correlate changes in the activity of cells of different classes with the ability of the infusion to produce a behaviorally measurable antinociception. One class of medullary neurons, "off-cells," is identified by a pause in firing associated with the occurrence of nocifensor reflexes such as the tail flick evoked by noxious heat. These neurons are uniformly activated following systemic administration of morphine, and are thought to have a net inhibitory effect on nociception. Following local bicuculline administration, off-cells enter a prolonged period of continuous firing that is temporally linked with the period of tail flick inhibition. A second class of neurons, "on-cells," is identified by a burst of activity beginning just before the tail flick, and is directly inhibited by opioids. Unlike off-cells, cells of this class do not show a consistent change in activity associated with inhibition of the tail flick following bicuculline. These data indicate that alterations in the discharges of on-cells would not be able to explain the antinociceptive effect of bicuculline, and therefore point to disinhibition of off-cells as a sufficient basis for antinociception originating within the rostral ventromedial medulla. |
Dissipation and strain-stiffening behavior of pectin-Ca gels under LAOS.
Non-linear mechanical responses observed in networks of many biopolymers such as pectin are important for their functioning as biological systems. Additionally, pectins derived from plant sources are also used for several food and biomedical applications. In the present work, the possible contributions of egg-box bundles in the large deformation response of calcium crosslinked gels of low methoxy pectin are explored using large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS). The gels exhibit a significant overshoot in the loss modulus (G'') and intra-cycle strain-stiffening, more prominent at greater extents of egg-box bundling. This observation signifies the dissipation characteristics of the egg-box bundles in pectin gels, hitherto not reported. The observed non-linear signatures diminish when the extent of bundling as well as the bundle radius decreases below a critical value. We identify different pectin/Ca concentration regimes based on the semi-flexible/flexible nature of the gel network and the non-linear signatures. Monovalent salt addition prior to crosslinking is shown to modify the extent of bundling, thereby influencing the magnitude of G'' overshoot and strain-stiffening. The intensity of the G'' overshoot and the extent of strain-stiffening are correlated with the radius of the egg-box bundles obtained from small angle neutron scattering (SANS) data. However, analysis using strain-stiffening models indicates the possible contributions from the semi-flexible nature of egg-box bundles and single chains. |

My brain kicks me from unconciousness to save me from drowning. I’m soaked. Is it from the water? Or the rain? It doesn’t matter. What matters is that noise I hear. It sounds like the gurgle of a soldier, shot in the neck. I sound I’ve heard one too many times, years ago. But this… it’s not stopping. No sweet release. What ever is making that sound isn’t human. At least not anymore. I need to move.
I try for a second to get my bearings, but there’s only one way to move. Away from the shore. I cross a road, and some railroad tracks. To my left I see some sort of establishment. Looks like a shipyard. There are also more of those…things. They stumble aimlessly. Making horrific noises. No one knows what they are. We saw a few as our chopper flew over Chernarus. We were supposed to be a rescue crew. I don’t think there’s anyone left to rescue….
That’s the last thing I remember. Flying over this forsaken land with my squad. Not knowing what to expect. The next, an alarm went off, and the chopper ripped apart. I have no idea where they ended up, or if they survived the crash. Maybe the…things..down the road used to be one of my squaddies.
It’s dark out. I have no idea where I am going, but staying here isn’t an option. So I move. To my left, certainty. Certain death. Undead horrors walking the coast. To my right, the unknown. A dark forest. There could be things worse than those abominations in the forest, I don’t really know for sure. As I walk, I notice some of the monsters shambling closer. Too close. I work my way deeper into the forest and up a hillside. I find a dirt road, and figure I can follow it for a while. All roads lead to somewhere…
Eventually I come to an intersection, and the forest thins out. I stop to take a look around. Definitely a shipping yard or town to my left. In front of me I see what looks like a power plant. It is hard to be sure in the dark.
Suddenly something catches my eye. Down in the shipyard I see light. A flashlight, bouncing off the walls of some buildings. I don’t think the monsters could hold a flashlight, so they have to be human. Not too smart though, that flashlight is giving away their position. I may have to pay this person a visit. I make a note of where I saw them, and finish surveying. I don’t have time. A rustle in the trees ahead spooks me, and I drop to the ground. Whatever it was must have heard me too. Suddenly, another flashlight. It blinks.
Short. Long. A pause… Long. Another pause… Short. Short. Long. Short.
ATF! I quickly flash the same back, and quietly make my way over. Goddamnit Zao, you lucky bastard. He doesn’t look too beat up, either. We exchange some words, and quickly realize we need some supplies. He mentions he saw a few buildings to the north. We set off immediately.
Movement in the dark is difficult. I can’t see him. But years of touring on duty with Zao means we always know where the other is. I don’t need to see him. We advance on the building as if it were part of a routine exercise. How many buildings had we entered and cleared? I guess that doesn’t matter. We had our rifles then. I could bash something with my light I guess…
We enter the house, but there is nothing. No people. No monsters. No supplies. So again we move. Further north, along the dirt road. My eyes are beginning to adjust to the dark. Up ahead I see what looks like a dam. There should be some sort of building up there. We push onward.
There it is again. That noise. Whatever happened to these things, it sounds painful. I see it up head. Crouched down. Picking at something.
And then it bolts. Straight for us. We scramble up a hill into some trees in an attempt to lose it. I think I hear Zao get hit. I dive under some brush, and wait. The sounds stop. Our pursuer sounds confused and frustrated, and shambles off. I wonder where Zao ended up. I see the light flash “ATF” again, so I move towards it. I find Zao holed up under an evergreen. No serious damage. Minor lacerations. Nothing to waste a bandage on. We move again.
In the confusion, we lost our bearings a bit. Zao hits the light again, just to see where we are.
A shot rings out. Blinding pain. I’ve taken hits in my career, but this one got me good. Right in my abdomen. I stay down, hoping not to draw anymore fire. Where was this guy? Our flashlights gave us away, but I have no idea where he was. Or why he felt threatened. I turn my head to look for Zao, he was right behi–
BANG.
Another shot, another cry of pain. This time from Zao. I call to him, but he doesn’t respond. It’s better for him, I think. Better to not feel the pain. I feel hurt, but I know I have time to live. This won’t be quick. I have time. To think. To write this down.In case somehow humanity survives this plague.
I suppose we were doomed from the start. From the minute we got this assignment, nothing felt quite right. Gunned down by the very survivors we were sent to rescue. I wonder if the flashlight from the shipyard will get out alive. I wonder if he was the shooter. It doesn’t matter now. The pen is getting heavier. I try to stand up, to maybe find some medical supplies at the dam, but without any food or water, I don’t have the energy. I hate to give up. But there’s nothing to do but wait. And wait. |
Q:
Send data to php file using ajax
I have a trouble receiving data sent using ajax in a php file. It seems that ajax sends data, cause I get a success message, but php page shows me an error "Notice: Undefined index: ab".
Here is my jquery code for sending data using AJAX:
$('#download-btn').click(function(){
var ab="abc";
$.ajax({
url:'generate_url.php',
data:{'ab':ab},
type:'post',
success:function(data) {alert("sent");},
error: function(request, status, error) {alert(request,status);}
});
}
And that's how I extract data in a generate_url.php:
<?php
$a = $_POST['ab'];
echo $a;
?>
Thanks in advance for your help!
A:
You are missing the ); from your code. For simple POST I'll advice you to use $.post (there's nothing special about $.post, it's a shorthand way of using $.ajax for POST requests.
$('#download-btn').on('click', function(){
var ab="abc";
$.post('generate_url.php', {'ab':ab}, function(data){
console.log(data);
});
});

Radicular cysts of primary teeth mimicking premolar dentigerous cysts: report of three cases.
In three cases, the clinical diagnosis of dentigerous cyst was disproved by surgical exploration. In all other cases reviewed from a thirteen-year period, the clinical diagnosis of radicular cyst from an infected primary tooth was verified by surgery and histological examination. |
Ultrasonography of adrenal masses: unusual manifestations.
Forty patients with pathologically-proved adrenal masses, and two patients with extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas, were examined with gray scale B-scan. The authors describe unusual echo patterns of adrenal masses due to necrosis or hemorrhage, variations in the effects of large adrenal masses on surrounding organs and vessels, and the differential diagnosis. The complementary role of computed tomography is also discussed. |
