... Access your DBMS from Erlang without any line of SQL code ... AMNESIA is an Erlang library providing an abstraction layer for interfacing relational DBMSs. The basic objective is to allow designers to integrate relational database support in Erlang programs using Erlang-native types and language constructs and thus without needing to manage SQL statements and DMBS-specific peculiarities. The main characteristics are following: Easy specification of the structure of a database (tables and links) by means of Erlang-native types and functions. Direct creation of the tables starting from their Erlang specification. Direct use of Erlang records to handle database data. Simple functions for database accessing and data handling. Support for all relational operations (insert, select, join, etc.) by means of proper Erlang functions. AMNESIA is structured by means of a layered architecture. The amnesia module is at the topmost layer and provides the main high-level functions for database access. Then, on the basis of the DBMS chosen for the specific database implemented, the amnesia module contacts the proper amnesia_driver; the latter acts as a bridge between the amnesia layer and the bottom layer (dbms_layer), which provides the real interface to the specific DBMS selected. Currently AMNESIA supports only MySQL, but a driver for PostgreSQL is under development.

A few common diseases and their typical lesions are described and appropriate laboratory techniques to confirm or help deny the roles of specific agents are mentioned.
Q: How would you use the cpio command? While studying for the lpic exam, I've run into the command cpio. The description of cpio states: Cpio was originally designed to store backup file archives on a tape device in a sequential, contiguous manner. Cpio does not compress any content, but resulting archives are often compressed using gzip or other external compressors. In looking at examples of how to use cpio, I can't find a single scenario where cpio would better than more common tools like tar. What is an example where using cpio would be used, (besides tape backups), or is it no longer relevant on todays systems? A: It is still relevant for unpacking RPMs. There is a rpm2cpio utility that converts an RPM package to a cpio archive. As far as I know, there is nothing to convert an RPM to a tar archive. Here is an example usage: rpm2cpio myrpmfile.rpm | cpio -idmv

"Not fit to be called people; they are a cancer." Strong words came from Israeli Industry, Trade, and Labor Minister Eli Yishai, as reported in the Jerusalem Post today. Yishai was referring to eight Israeli neo-Nazis who were recently arrested, each of whom were granted favorable immigration status under the Law of Return. All eight were admitted from the former Soviet Union. The Law of Return provides that immigrants can receive Israeli citizenship if they can claim one Jewish grandparent. They need not be Jewish themselves to benefit from favorable immigration status. The arrests have set off debates throughout the country about amending the Law of Return. Claims of discrimination against immigrants from the former Soviet states are also being traded. Finally, Drew can add these fellows to his Dumb Criminal Round Up; they videotaped their crimes, which include assaulting Orthodox Jews in the street, vandalizing synagogues, and attacking people they thought were punks, gays, or (ironically) foreigners.
Q: Is there a regular expression in Perl to find a file's extension? Is there a regular expression in Perl to find a file's extension? For example, if I have "test.exe", how would I get the ".exe"? A: my $file = "test.exe"; # Match a dot, followed by any number of non-dots until the # end of the line. my ($ext) = $file =~ /(\.[^.]+)$/; print "$ext\n"; A: use File::Basename use File::Basename; ($name,$path,$suffix) = fileparse("test.exe.bat",qr"\..[^.]*$"); print $suffix; A: \.[^\.]*$ This would give you everything after the last dot (including the dot itself) until the end of the string.
Q: When to pass event as parameter in functions (Javascript)? I am new to Javascript events I encountered many examples in which event is passed as a parameter to the function. So is it mandatory to pass event to each and every function and when not to pass it. As in below code event is passed in 2nd function. I am confused when to pass and when to not pass ? var elem = document.getElementById('my-elem'); elem.addEventListener('click', function(){ //the element has been clicked... do stuff here }, false); $('#my-elem').click(function(e) { //the element has been clicked... do stuff here }); A: You don't pass the event, it is done automatically by the browser in all standard event triggers. The question is do you need to receive the event as a named argument in all your functions and the answer to that is, it all depends on whether you are going to want to use it: When you will need access to the event: element.addEventListener("click", foo); // You can explicitly declare a function argument that will represent // the event object that is automatically passed to you by the browser function foo(evt){ // And, then you can access the event in the function evt.xyz... } When you won't need access to the event: element.addEventListener("click", foo); // The event is still passed to the function, but now, you don't // have an explicit way to access it: function foo(){ } Again, the event will be passed in all circumstances, so it's not going to improve or decrease performance if you decide to capture the reference with an argument. As a general rule of thumb to get started, it's probably a good idea to get into the habit of adding a named argument for it, so that if you need access to it, you can get it easily.

Depression is a cause of excess disability, morbidity and mortality in older persons and often remains unrecognized. Standard methods for diagnosing depression may miss significant pathology in "normal" elderly; their validity in the presence of dementia has not even been tested. A proposed program will screen a community-based sample of older persons for overt major depressive disorder and masked depressive disorders. Similar methodology will be used to identify secondary and/or coexisting psychiatric symptoms and to diagnose affective disorders in individuals with dementing illness. In those with putative syndromes, diagnoses will be derived from medical, psychiatric and psychological workups. The syndromes will be characterized in terms of symptom clusters, individual and family psychiatric histories, functional impairment, and biological markers. Their similarity to depression as present in the general population will be determined by determining the similarity of response to treatment of a controlled trail with a standard tricyclic antidepressant drug. The treatment study will also examine the impact of treatment on both cognitive and functional abilities.

The present disclosure is related to the arrangement and operation of patient support apparatus with a sensor. More specifically, the present disclosure is related a patient support apparatus including an optical detector. Patient support apparatuses known in the art include barriers, such as siderails and end panels for example, that are coupled to the patient support apparatus and may be positioned to block a patient from entering or exiting a patient support apparatus. Some barriers are equipped with user interfaces having user input devices such as buttons or keyboards for inputting information. Such user input devices sometimes require multiple button presses or keystrokes to enter information into a control system for the patient support. Entering information with multiple button presses or keystrokes can increase the amount of time a caregiver spends at a patient support apparatus. Additionally, information entered via multiple button presses or keystrokes can include mistakes from time to time.
Q: How would I do the C++ equivalence of dynamic cast in TypeScript? In C++ there is dynamic cast that checks at runtime if an object implements and interface and returns a nullptr instead of the object if it does not. How can I do the same thing in TypeScript. The way that I can think of is to check the existence and type of each property: interface MyInterface { value: string; lastUpdated: number; deleted: boolean; } let obj = JSON.parse(inputdata); if ('value' in obj && 'lastUpdated' in obj && 'deleted' in obj && typeof obj.value === 'string' && obj.lastUpdated === 'number' && obj.deleted === 'boolean') { // do something } else { // null case } Since TypeScript interfaces are not available at runtime I can't even write helper functions to generalize these checks. Is there a better to do dynamic casts in TypeScript? A: I believe you get what you are asking for if you implement a type guard interface MyInterface { value: string; lastUpdated: number; deleted: boolean; } function isMyInterface(obj: any): obj is MyInterface { // You don't really need the first three, just the last three return 'value' in obj && 'lastUpdated' in obj && 'deleted' in obj && typeof obj.value === 'string' && typeof obj.lastUpdated === 'number' && typeof obj.deleted === 'boolean'; } let obj = JSON.parse(inputdata); if (isMyInterface(obj)) { // do something, compiler knows obj is a MyInterface in this block } else { // null case }

National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence guidelines on preoperative tests: the use of routine preoperative tests for elective surgery. Clinical Guideline CG3 from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) makes recommendations on appropriate clinical practice in preoperative testing for elective surgery. Unfortunately, there is minimal evidence on which the guidelines could be based and therefore they were constructed on the basis of professional opinion. This resulted in the construction of a decision matrix of Byzantine complexity built on foundations of sand: surgical risk is estimated using an unvalidated ad hoc risk estimation method; anaesthetic risk is estimated using the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) risk method that has been demonstrated to be incapable of generating consistent risk assessments. The resultant matrix may be suitable for use as a template for future research, but is extremely complex and inadequately rigorous for routine use.
Renal colic. The most common and overt manifestation of a ureteric calculus is renal colic. This paper discusses its clinical presentation and diagnostic difficulties and follows the management of the patient until the stone is passed or retrieved surgically; it does not address the overall picture of renal calculous disease. The role of subsequent metabolic investigation is outlined.

Q: Solving a dependency issue Have a look at the following diagram... The arrows show the dependencies each of the assemblies has. I'm trying, where possible, to keep the 'contamination' from one layer to another to a minimum and thought I was doing OK. My Service layer knows about the Business Entities and the DAL later knows about the Data Transfer Objects and I use the translators to convert the types where necessary. As you might expect, the Service implementation needs to make calls on the DAL via the interface and this is where I've come unstuck. Even though I'm using the translators the Service Implementation still needs to know about the types defined in the DTOs (or, alternatively) the DAL needs to know about the BEs. Is there a way around this? If not, am I right in thinking that the minimum level of 'contamination' is achieved by allowing the Service Implementation to have a dependency on the DTOs? If anyone has any thoughts on this subject, I'd be delighted to hear them. A: It seems that some 'contamination' is inevitable and that doing it this way at least reduced that to a minimum.
Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) is migrating from a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) based air interface to an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) based air interface in order to increase reverse link capacity. Reverse link capacity can be increased by limiting interference caused by mobile stations within a same cell (also referred to herein as “in-cell interference”) or by mobile stations in other cells (also referred to herein as “other-cell interference”). In-cell and outer-cell Interference are caused, in part, when mobile stations transmit over a same carrier or sub-carrier frequency simultaneously. In a CDMA system, i.e., wireless communication system utilizing a CDMA air interface, mobile stations produces both in-cell interference and other-cell interference because mobile stations in the same cell and in different cells are simultaneously transmitting on a same carrier frequency. In-cell interference is the main source of interference in a CDMA system. By contrast, the main source of interference in an OFDMA system, i.e., wireless communication system utilizing an OFDMA air interface, is other-cell interference. In an OFDMA system, mobile stations in the same cell transmit on different sub-carrier frequencies and, thus, the in-cell interference produced by the mobile stations should be insignificant. However, other-cell interference is still produced because mobile stations in different cells may be simultaneously transmitting on the same sub-carrier frequencies. Accordingly, OFDMA systems have higher reverse link capacity than CDMA systems because mobile stations in an OFDMA system produce less in-cell interference than mobile stations in a CDMA system. In order to increase reverse link capacity in an OFDMA system, other-cell interference needs to be reduced. One way to reduce other-cell interference is to limit mobile stations near the edges of adjacent cells to different sets of sub-carrier frequencies. For example, mobile stations near the edge of a first cell would be restricted to using a first set of sub-carrier frequencies, and mobile stations near the edge of an adjacent second cell would be restricted to using a second set of sub-carrier frequencies, wherein the first set includes different sub-carrier frequencies than those in the second set. Edge mobile stations (i.e., mobile stations near the edge of a cell) in the second cell would not be able to use the first set of sub-carrier frequencies even when there are no edge mobile stations in the first cell using sub-carrier frequencies in the first set, or vice-versa. Such manner of reducing other-cell interference will, however, result in an inefficient use of reverse link resources. Accordingly, there exists a need for a method of managing other-cell interference in a wireless communication system more efficiently.

Both cars involved in the collision are on the side of the road, he said. An ambulance was dispatched to the scene The Hollow is partly blocked and traffic is slow, according to traffic reporting website Inrix. Inrix recorded the scene of the crash as "The Hollow near Kelston View (Bath City Farm)" but later information from the public indicated that the collision occurred near the top of the road next to Haycombe Cemetery.

If you are considering them on arrival place some glue at the entry point to stop them moving. They work fine after that.
Taxi drivers continue to boycott the Strip … on some days In the continued fight to maintain a strong presence along the Strip, Las Vegas taxi drivers have banded together under the name “Vegas Drivers Unite” to boycott different resort locations each month. “We are trying to accomplish something of monumental importance to the livelihood of many cab and limo drivers and hotel door personnel in the Vegas Resort Corridor,” a Vegas Drivers Unite representative said in an email. “We rolled out Vegas Drivers Unite in October and have been slowly building driver involvement,” the representative continued. Each month, Vegas Drivers Unite will pick one Strip resort to boycott every Thursday, Friday and Saturday of the week. VDU chose the Bellagio for June and tentatively chose New York-New York for July and Mandalay Bay/Delano for August. “It’s unrealistic on the part of MGM and Caesars to assume they can actively welcome and promote rideshare over traditional taxi and limo services and there not be a consequence,” he said. “It does not bode well when you try and destroy an industry that you need for support of conventions and tourism in Las Vegas.” For more information on the boycott, go here. This story originally appeared in the Las Vegas Weekly.

Main menu News: PS3, the new Saturn Lest we forget our history, my GDmag coworker Jeff reminded me that almost everything Kaz Hirai is saying about the PS3 was previously said about the Saturn. Take note of the quote I linked below. Now read this statement from the aforelinked Saturn whitepaper: “This growth won’t be possible on competing systems that offer a simpler architecture. It may be easier in some ways for developers to create programs for the competition because there’s less to learn and work with from a technology standpoint — but that means that developers are much more likely to run up against the limits of the system in a short span of time. The simpler structure of competing architectures also increases the chance that games will be “ported” from other systems (other game systems or even personal computers), which results in games that are generic and not optimized for performance and special features. In contrast, the sophistication of the Sega Saturn pays off for both developers and consumers alike over the long term. Developers will continue to discover new ways to wield their creative talents, and game players will have an ongoing supply of new, inventive, out-there, beyond-cool titles for their Sega Saturn systems. “ That kind of logic is destined for failure. At the same time the Saturn is one of my favorite systems ever. Does this mean the PS3 will eventually be one of my favorite systems? The industry has changed enough that developers no long really “choose” a console, but rather develop somewhat agnostically and port as they can. The current climate does not seem conducive to the kind of quirky hardware differentiation of times past. So with that in mind, Sony had better learn from the past, or the ghost of Sega will come and have its revenge!
Q: Does Object.keys(anObject) return anObject's prototype? I'm reading Eloquent JavaScript's Map section and I'm having trouble understanding its last paragraph: If you do have a plain object that you need to treat as a map for some reason, it is useful to know that Object.keys returns only an object’s own keys, not those in the prototype. As an alternative to the in operator, you can use the hasOwnProperty method, which ignores the object’s prototype. I then assume that Object.keys does not return the properties and methods an object gets from the inheritance of its prototype. So I tried the following: var anObject = {}; console.log(Object.keys(anObject)); //Array [] console.log("toString" in Object.keys(anObject)); //true console.log(anObject.hasOwnProperty("toString")); //false Apparently, toString is in the array returned by Object.keys(anObject), but an empty array is returned when I logged its keys? Did I understand the passage wrongly? A: You understood the passage correctly, the usage of in here is wrong though. It returns true, since the Array that Object.keys(anObject) returns has a property called toString in it's prototype. in also checks the prototype, while hasOwnProperty only checks the properties an Object actually has. But it doesn't have an own property with the name toString let anObject = {}; let keys = Object.keys(anObject); console.log("toString" in keys); //true console.log(keys.hasOwnProperty("toString")); //false A: Object.keys(anObject) returns an array, and toString is a valid method on arrays. Since in checks for a property in the object, and in its prototype chain, the expression "toString" in Object.keys(anObject) returns true. But this doesn't mean that toString is an owned property of anObject. That's why anObject.hasOwnProperty("toString") returns false.
The effects of mindset on behavior: self-regulation in deliberative and implemental frames of mind. The effects of deliberative and implemental mindsets--cognitive and motivational states associated with predecisional and postdecisional frames of mind, respectively--were examined in the context of the self-regulation of behavior. Participants who had been induced to deliberate the merits of participating in a specified task formulated more pessimistic expectations about this task than did participants who had been induced to imagine implementing a plan to complete the task. Moreover, participants in the deliberation condition underperformed relative to the participants in the implemental condition, demonstrating that deliberative and implemental thinking can influence behavior as well as cognition.
Life-saving vascular access after combined liver and kidney transplantation: A challenging access to the right atrium. Exhaustion of vascular accesses is a major complication in patients undergoing hemodialysis, especially in pediatric setting. We report the case of a boy treated for loss of hemodialysis access after a combined liver-kidney transplantation and transient renal dysfunction. An interventional dilatation of calcific superior vena cava allowed to insert a stable central venous line for dialysis until full graft recovery. Careful management of central lines allows to spare the main vessels and reduces the need for unusual accesses.
For Tobe, a nerdy, horny, frizzy-haired cineaste who doesn't quite fit in with the average contemporary teen, the pinnacle of womanhood is Monica Velour (Kim Cattrall), a soft-core actress who reached the zenith of her career in the 1980s. When Tobe learns that his love idol is headlining hundreds of miles away at the Gentlemen's Petting Zoo in Indiana, he drives off with carefree glory—in his grandfather's (Brian Dennehy) used Weinermobile, no less—filled with the hope of meeting her.
Q: Consuming a WCF hosted as Windows Service I have a WCF Service (with installer) that I have built and installed in Windows Services. Opened up Admin Tools, Services, and started the service without a problem. So now I'm beginning a new project (a simple Windows forms app). I want to consume my new WCF, but have no idea how. I can't seem to add a reference / add a service reference to it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jason A: When the Windows service hosting your WCF service is up and running and properly configured, you should be able to use either Visual Studio's Add Service Reference or the command-line svcutil tool to connect to that service. Just type in the address where the service lives. This requires that your service has metadata exchange enabled (as a service behavior) as well as provides at least one MEX (Metadata Exchange) endpoint in its config. Do you have those available?? Service behavior: <behaviors> <serviceBehaviors> <behavior name="mex"> <serviceMetadata /> </behavior> </serviceBehaviors> </behaviors> and then your service must reference this configuration. Service config: <services> <service name="YourService" behaviorConfiguration="mex"> <!-- reference the service behavior with the serviceMetadata element -> <endpoint .... (your regular endpoint here) /> <endpoint name="mex" address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" /> </service> </services>

The present invention, in some embodiments thereof, relates to assuring correctness of data used by an application, and, more specifically, but not exclusively, to assuring correctness of data missing due to a non-stable network connection. Mobile computing is rapidly increasing taking advantage of the ever growing networking infrastructures to provide better services and/or user experience to users using their mobile client terminals, for example, Smartphones, tablets, laptops, network connected wearable devices and the like. Mobile and web applications executed on the mobile client terminals used by the users may often require data that is available from remote resources such as, for example, servers, remote services, backend services and/or cloud services. The mobile and web applications may therefore interact with the remote servers over network(s) in order to fetch and/or acquire data that required during execution of the mobile and web applications. A solid and reliable network connection may therefore be essential for the proper execution of the mobile and web applications.
Jerry's Update After Craig got through questioning is own fandom aloud, comparing his choice of teams to root for to the franchises Boomer played quarterback for during his NFL career, Jerry Recco did his update thing, beginning with the latest on the Knicks-Phil Jackson negotiations. Reports are that the sides have an agreement in principle. Plus, the NFL free-agency frenzy begins with the Giants active while the Jets are not. LeBron James suffers leg cramps, Boomer classifies Craig as ‘out of control,’ a slimmed-down CC Sabathia struggles, David Wright wants to go to the playoffs (presumably with the Mets), Rangers were a no-show in Carolina, the Devils win and the Big East Tournament gets underway later today…

Diagnosis of pulmonary Kaposi's sarcoma in AIDS patients. Pulmonary Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is one of the many manifestations of AIDS. There are no specific tests for its early diagnosis. Because its symptoms may be similar to tuberculosis, it may be diagnosed incorrectly and treated as such. Consequently, by the time of the correct diagnosis, valuable time will have been lost for effective medical care that could positively impact prognosis. The discussion in this case study is focused on pulmonary KS with an interest in improving premorbid diagnosis that may lead to an earlier recognition and better treatment of the disease.

Encoding new episodes and making them stick. How do we encode, store, and retrieve new episodic memories, and what are the computations performed by the hippocampus during this process? One system that has been used to model the brain basis of episodic memory in humans is the study of spatial navigation by path integration in rodents. Here I discuss three exciting new findings focused on encoding or replay of spatial sequences in the rat hippocampus. These findings not only provide important new insight into the computations associated with encoding and consolidation of spatial trajectories, but may also have implications for understanding key aspects of human episodic memory.

Phagocytosis of the Legionnaires' disease bacterium (Legionella pneumophila) occurs by a novel mechanism: engulfment within a pseudopod coil. Phagocytosis of Legionella pneumophila, a bacterial pathogen that multiplies intracellularly in human mononuclear phagocytes and causes Legionnaires' disease, occurs by a novel mechanism. A phagocyte pseudopod coils around the bacterium as the organism is internalized. Human monocytes, alveolar macrophages, and polymorphonuclear leukocytes all phagocytize L. pneumophila by this unusual process, termed "coiling phagocytosis," and these leukocytes phagocytize not only live L. pneumophila in this way, but also formalin-killed, glutaraldehyde-killed, and heat-killed L. pneumophila. In contrast, under the same experimental conditions, monocytes phagocytize Streptococcus pneumoniae, encapsulated and unencapsulated E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas alcaligenes, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Neisseria meningitidis by conventional phagocytosis. Treatment of L. pneumophila with high-titer anti-L. pneumophila antibody abolishes coiling phagocytosis; such bacteria are internalized by conventional phagocytosis. These experiments raise the possibility that a surface component of L. pneumophila mediates the unusual response by the phagocyte. Such a component, if elaborated in vivo, might be responsible for extrapulmonary manifestations of Legionnaires' disease suspected of being toxin-mediated.
ERP evidence for a sex-specific Stroop effect in emotional speech. The present study investigated the interaction of emotional prosody and word valence during emotional comprehension in men and women. In a prosody-word interference task, participants listened to positive, neutral, and negative words that were spoken with a happy, neutral, and angry prosody. Participants were asked to rate word valence while ignoring emotional prosody, or vice versa. Congruent stimuli were responded faster and more accurately as compared to incongruent emotional stimuli. This behavioral effect was more salient for the word valence task than for the prosodic task and was comparable between men and women. The event-related potentials (ERPs) revealed a smaller N400 amplitude for congruent as compared to emotionally incongruent stimuli. This ERP effect, however, was significant only for the word valence judgment and only for female listeners. The present data suggest that the word valence judgment was more difficult and more easily influenced by task-irrelevant emotional information than the prosodic task in both men and women. Furthermore, although emotional prosody and word valence may have a similar influence on an emotional judgment in both sexes, ERPs indicate sex differences in the underlying processing. Women, but not men, show an interaction between prosody and word valence during a semantic processing stage.
The invention relates generally to a steerable drive axle for a motor vehicle and more specifically to such an axle having increased ground clearance and requiring few universal joints. In order to equip motor vehicles with a steerable drive axle wherein two drive shafts are arranged in a single axle housing, the two shafts are angled rearwardly with respect to a horizontal plane so the vehicle's wheelbase will be decreased for a shorter turning radius and the front-end width will be reduced. The two drive shafts are connected to a differential, each through a universal joint, such that a transversely continuous drive assembly is formed having a V-shaped configuration which opens rearwardly. The end of each drive shaft carries a universal joint which in turn is connected to the axle shaft of a corresponding wheel assembly. The wheel assembly is connected to the axle housing for pivoting about a substantially vertical axis by a steering mechanism. A differential is located at the point of the V-shaped configuration, and the centerline of the differential is generally on the same level as the centerline of the wheels connected to the drive axles. Ground clearance between the wheels is therefore limited by the wheel centerline, and one or more universal joints are commonly required between the transmission and the differential.
A SAS/IML program for simulating pharmacokinetic data. Data simulation can be an invaluable tool for optimizing the design of bioequivalence trials. It can be particularly useful when exploring alternative approaches for assessing product comparability especially in the context of encountering various complex experimental situations that can occur in veterinary medicine. With this in mind, we designed a novel SAS/IML program to generate pharmacokinetic datasets that reflect the various kinetic, population, and study design characteristics that complicate the bioequivalence evaluation of animal health products. Developing this simulation program within SAS provides an opportunity to utilize the statistical capabilities of this software platform.

Re: transpose leadsheet (chords + melody) To transpose a song down a whole step, say from F major to Eb major, the syntax would be: \transpose c bes (or however the language you are using signifies a Bb) Be careful here, because both pitches are taken absolute, so being bes in the same octave as c, this transposing has the effect of raising a minor seventh up. Use \transpose d c or \transpose c bes, (note the comma), to transpose a whole step down.

Endoscopic and histologic resolution of gastric pseudolymphoma (reactive lymphoid hyperplasia) following treatment with bismuth and oral antibiotics. Gastric pseudolymphoma is a rare disorder of unknown etiology that can undergo transformation into malignant lymphoma. This report describes the first case of a gastric pseudolymphoma associated with Helicobacter pylori infection that underwent complete clinical, endoscopic, and histologic resolution following treatment with bismuth subsalicylate, amoxicillin, and metronidazole. The eradication of Helicobacter pylori may have eliminated ongoing antigenic stimulation that has previously been postulated to be responsible for the development and subsequent progression of gastric pseudolymphoma.
Laser microdissection and pressure catapulting: combining LMPC with IHC to investigate NMDA receptor subunit composition. Laser microdissection and pressure catapulting (LMPC) has allowed investigators the opportunity to look at enriched cell populations from heterogeneous tissues. Selection of cells is routinely based upon morphological or histological criteria. The inclusion of an immunohistochemistry step prior to LMPC potentially allows investigators to classify cell populations both morphologically and functionally. Practical limitations with regard to RNA integrity following IHC steps have meant that the value that this combination brings has been reduced. Here, through the use of RNA preserving buffers, we have been able to successfully label, dissect and extract RNA from NK1 expressing cells. RT-PCR was carried out to confirm the expression of NK1, NR2A and NR2B subunit expression. Our data confirmed the expression of NK1 in cells labelled with the antibody, and the absence of expression in cells absent of staining. As well as this, relative expression of both NR2A and NR2B was determined. Furthermore, the RNA was of high enough quality to allow these methods to be used for studies involving RNA amplification steps, such as microarray analysis.

Update on animal models developed for analyses of estrogen receptor biological activity. Targeted disruption of the different ER genes has generated experimental animal models that are very useful in evaluating the distinct and cooperative roles of the two estrogen receptors, ERalpha and ERbeta, in reproductive but also non-reproductive tissues of both sexes. Phenotypic analysis has provided definitive experimental findings for estrogen receptor mediated physiological actions, involving ERalpha in uterine, mammary gland and neuroendocrine sites. ERbeta is involved most dramatically in the ovary as is ERalpha. More detailed studies in combination with tissue specific or inducible ER knock outs will be important for future research.

Q: How can lines with other characters than letters be removed from output? I have a code where I extract bigrams from a large corpus, and concatenate/merge them to get unigrams. 'may', 'be' --> maybe. The corpus contains, of course, a lot of punctuations, but I also discovered that it contains other characters such as emojis... My plan was to put punctuations in a list, and if those characters are not in a line, print the line. Maybe I should change my approach and only print the lines ONLY containing letters and no other characters, since I don't know what kinds of characters are in the corpus. How can this be done? I do need to keep these other characters for the first part of the code, so that bigrams that don't actually exist are printed. The last lines of my code are at the moment: counted = collections.Counter(grams) for gram, count in sorted(counted.items()): s = '' print (s.join(gram)) And the output I get is: !aku !bet !brå !båda These lines won't be of any use for me... Would really appreciate some help! :) A: If you want to check that each string contains only letters you can probably use the isalpha() method. >>> '!båda'.isalpha() False >>> 'båda'.isalpha() True As you can see from the example, this method should recognize any unicode letter, not just ascii.

Defining Postmodernism Postmodernism is one of those words that has become a part our everyday language. How often do we describe a movie or a book as “so postmodern’? From James Rawson’s pop art, to authors like Vladimir Nabokov and Umberto Eco, to extremely popular movies like Moulin Rouge, Scream, and Pulp Fiction, there’s no getting around it: postmodernism has become an inseparable part of our lives and our entertainment. But what is it? Like any literary movement, postmodernism can’t be defined exactly—in fact, it is several ideas complied together. Postmodernism is known for its revolutionary approach and willingness to experiment. Considering the times we live in today, all this may seem very commonplace, but there was a period known as the Enlightenment back then in 17th and 8th centuries, which was all about order, unity, reason. Of course the post modernists were not the first ones to come up with this kind of approach; also romanticism and then modernism had already questioned the possibility of these ideals. Although,postmodernism is more about embracing the chaos. The word “postmodern” may have become cliché, but one cannot deny its popularity. It has given us some of the most-loved texts of the 20th and 21st centuries. So what is the contribution of post modernism in today’s time? Well, it has revolutionized our perspectives. While all the major literary movements were specific and defined in their approach, postmodernism does not focus on a particular set of “classic” authors or texts. It has helped change people’s ideas about what we can classify as literature. Sure, there may be some people who like to emphasize on the traditional, “serious,” “intellectual” texts, but postmodernism has made a major alterations in conventional ideas about literature, art, and culture.
Seems like a good man but theres no room for sentiment in football. Been a terrible chairman and if it had not been for getting lucky with Moyes doing the business for us (wasn't we after gary megson at the time?) god knows where we'd be now. Been at the helm for our longest trophyless run as a club. Time to move on now In the unlikely event that a multi-billionaire like Usmanov decided to provide Everton with the funding to build a shiny new stadium, do you really believe that it would be interest free?Whilst Usmanov may well be seriously wedged to the hilt, it wouldn't just be a case of him wandering into his local high street branch and withdrawing half a billion quid. Chances are, despite his enormous wealth, he hasn't actually got half a billion quid sat in the bank. His money will be either largely tied up in assets, or invested and earning a very healthy profit. Why would he just loan it to Everton interest free, whilst it is earning him a healthy profit invested? Didn't Chelsea get there money interest free and then he just wrote it off as a bad debt! I knew that someday I was going to die, and I knew that before I died, two things would happen to me. That number one; I would regret my entire life, and number two; that I would want to live my life over again. I see the happy clapping “be careful what you wish for” brigade are poking heads above the parapet here. The man has overseen the least successful period in our clubs history.

He let his ego fuck up the chance to have a stadium in the kings dock which we would have been in almost ten years with all that lovely extra revenue. He tried desperately to rip this club from the city of Liverpool. He has basically bought a company in a readonable position, ran it to a point were extinction was a real fear then (and fair play to him for this) sold it for a ridiculous profit. He got lucky because of the TV deals not his own corporate ability. Our fans have let this buffoon get away with murder, actively supported him even, yet call moshiri a fraud because he hasn’t built the stadium yet.

Thousands of violators could be removed from sex offender registration by MICHAEL GORSEGNER Thousands of violators could be removed from sex offender registration HARRISBURG, Pa — Pennsylvania legislators are on the clock to fix a sex offender registration statute or thousands of violators could come off the list. The House Judiciary Committee met at the State Capitol this morning to update the status. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court recently ruled that a Cumberland County case that applied the sex offender registration retroactively is unconstitutional. If the laws don't change thousands of offenders might be free to go. "I do think there is some urgency with the legislature. Obviously, there is a lot of work that has to be done over here," said Cumberland County District Attorney Dave Freed. "So, what we are here doing today along with the Pennsylvania State Police it's sort of laying out where we think things stand, I'm making some suggestions on where the legislature can go." Freed's office is appealing the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. In the meantime, legislators are working with similar legislation from states like Alaska to try and change the current laws.
"Go to her." Luke said again. Lorelai swiftly left the room and questioned nothing about it. "I don't blame you for sending her away." Matthew said lightly. "I'd be embarrassed too." Matthew grabbed a knife from his pocket. Luke stood still, not flinching. "Do you need that?" Luke asked. "Something to hide behind?" "I'm not hiding behind a knife." Matthew spat. "I'm going to use it as a weapon." "You're using it as a shield." Luke replied. Matthew breathed deeply. "Alright... Mr. Tough Guy. We'll do it your way." Matthew threw the knife to the other side of the room. He lunged towards Luke, but Luke quickly stepped out of the way and came back with a powerful uppercut. "I like things my way." Luke responded after knocking Matthew on his back. Matt quickly jumped to his feat and took yet another swing at Luke. A miss. Another swing and miss. Another and another. Luke punched Matthew several times in the face and then one powerful time in the stomach leaving him hunched over and bloody. Luke chuckled. "You want the knife back?" he asked. Anger filled Matthew. He hated being teased. "You know, I think I actually have something a little better." Matthew reached into his coat and pulled out a hand gun. Luke still didn't show any sign of fear. Matthew aimed it directly at Luke's heart. "Want know how it feels to be shot through the heart?" Matthew asked. "FREEZE!.. NYPD!" An officer shouted. Matthew quickly turned his head to see who was yelling from behind him, when he did so Luke grabbed the gun and wrestled Matthew to the ground. A shot was fired into the air but hit nothing but the ceiling tile above them. The police swarmed the two men and quickly drug Matthew away. Cook walked over to Luke who was relieved, but holding back all his emotions for the time being. "Good work Danes. Ever thought about a job in the police force?" "No thank you." Luke replied lightly. "I'll stick to my diner." "Looks like you helped a little more than expected huh?" "Guess so." Luke handed the gun to Cook and started to walk of but noticed Joe standing beside one of the cops. Instead he changed his destination. "Joe?" He asked surprisingly as he walked towards him. "What are you doing here?" "Hey, Luke." Joe replied calmly. "Well, this is my job." "You're a cop?" Luke asked amazed. "Sure am." Joe smiled. "You never told me that." "You never asked." Joe replied. "Good point." Luke retorted. "I'll see you back home." Joe said cheerfully. "I won't be much longer here." "Oh, I'll be staying here with Lorelai and Rory tonight." "Oh? How are they?" "They're good." Luke nodded. "Good. Tomorrow then." Joe ended. "Tomorrow." Luke repeated. Luke turned and headed back in the direction of Rory's room. (Outside the hospital) "Joe, you back stabbing, two faced...!" Matthew roared from inside the cop car. "Sorry, little brother." Joe replied as he walked on by the car and down the street. (Rory's room) "Luke..." Lorelai ran towards him when he entered the door. He hugged her and kissed her softly. "Please tell me this is all over." she said with her head buried in his chest. "It's all over." Luke told her. "Did he hurt you?" she asked standing back to examine him. "Not at all." Luke smiled. "Like I said, just a bully." Luke looked over at Rory who was fast asleep in her bed. "You didn't wake her?" he asked. "No." Lorelai replied. "For once, she was finally resting... really resting. I didn't want to ruin it for her." Lorelai said gazing at her pale face. Luke walked over and pulled the covers up over Rory. "She's an incredibly strong kid." (Christmas the following year at the Gilmore house) "God... I love snow." Lorelai said to herself as she stood on her porch. Luke came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waste. "God... I love you." She smirked. "Come on, we're getting ready to open gifts." Luke smiled as he held out his hand. "Just a minute." she said as she continued to gaze at the snow. "This moment is perfect." "Tell me." Rory pleaded. "I can still acted surprised when I open it." She giggled. "That doesn't work that way." Tristan laughed. "Who's going to know any better?" Rory asked. "I will." Tristan replied. "But I'll tell you what, I will give you one gift early."
Afternoon everyone, Gráinne Ní Aodha here listening in on the questions being put to the government this week. If you have any thoughts, comments, or opinions, you can leave a comment below or tweet us @thejournal_ie. More expensive stamps could close post offices, Ireland’s overall amount of international aid has fallen, and Enda Kenny “doesn’t look like the man” to stop renting prices from rising, are the things TDs were concerned about today. The main issue for today was requests from Mícheál Martin, Enda Kenny and Brendan Howlin for Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams to make a statement in the Dáil tomorrow about the Brian Stack murder investigation. The Cathaoirleach said it was up to the party whips to decide a time.

Q: Can charging by conduction and charging by induction occur simultaneously? If I connect a neutral body to a charged body (suppose it is negatively charged) with a conducting wire, how will the neutral body get charged - by induction or by conduction? A: "Electrically charging an object" can have different meanings: adding or removing charge from an object, i.e. changing its state so that the total charge is different than before by adding/removing electrons/ions. To do that, you need some way of conducting the charges (usually a wire for electrons). In your example, a wire could lead the electrons from a negatively charged body to a neutral body (assuming that both bodies themselves conduct sufficiently). moving charges (i.e. changing the charge distribution) within the object without changing the total charge. In most cases, this includes performing work on the system and includes "charging a battery" = changing the electrochemical configuration. It can be done in any number of ways by creating an electrical or magnetic field, which leads to charge movement. This is governed by the Maxwell equations, which includes induction (applying force on electrons by changing the magnetic field). Those phenomena can happen simultaneously if the setup is chosen accordingly. In your example, assuming conducting bodies, the charging will mostly be the done by adding charge. Additionally, the arising currents change rapidly and also create changing magnetic and electrical fields that perform work on the bodies, thus moving charge within the bodies. I'm Austrian, so I can only say that the latter meaning is colloquial in German, maybe it's the same in English.

Do you have any other idea to create initial index for different host. Thanks you A: http://www.dmoz.org is a good seed. As said before, to orient a crawl, querying a search engine gives good results.
Cryostats integrating PTR cooling are usually designed such that no liquid cryogen is present in their operation—the absence of liquid cryogen represents their main advantage over the standard bath cryostats. Standard bath cryostats use one or more types of liquefied gases of various boiling temperatures in their operation. The subject invention combines all advantages of standard cryostats with the advantages of the PTR-based cryostats. The invention is intended for measurements in solid state physics, in particular of AC susceptibility.

Global Epidemiology, Prevention, and Management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma. The incidence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is rising. It is one of the most common cancers worldwide and accounts for substantial morbidity and mortality. Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are the most important etiologies of HCC, and effective screening and management strategies are crucial to reduce the HCC risk. For HBV, which accounts for the majority of HCC cases, most infections were acquired via perinatal and early horizontal transmission. Universal vaccination of newborns has led to a decline in HCC incidence compared with the pre-vaccination era. Effective antiviral therapies with nucleos(t)ide analogues or pegylated interferon reduced the incidence of HCC. For HCV, the emergence of effective direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents has substantially improved cure rates; therefore all patients with HCV should be considered for DAA treatment. The most important obstacle in eliminating HCV is access to therapy. For NAFLD, the global incidence is increasing rapidly, thus its impact on HCC incidence may be explosive. Progression to HCC in NAFLD happens particularly in those with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and exacerbated by metabolic syndrome, or PNPLA3 gene polymorphism. Lifestyle changes are imperative while drug therapy has yet to demonstrate substantive protective effects on HCC prevention. For management of HCC, early diagnosis via imaging surveillance among persons with HCC risk factors remains the most important strategy to identify early-stage disease appropriate for resection or transplantation.
Existence and purification of porin heterotrimers of Escherichia coli K12 OmpC, OmpF, and PhoE proteins. Porin is a trimeric membrane protein that functions as a diffusion pore in the outer membrane of Escherichia coli. We report the existence and purification of porin heterotrimers between the ompC, ompF, and phoE porin gene products. Separation was achieved using a high resolution anion exchange column. The amount of each heterotrimer species present depended on the level of expression of the subunits and was consistent with random mixing of trimer subunits. A strong effect of bacterial lipopolysaccharide on the chromatography of porin was also detected. These results imply that assembly of porin trimers occurs between subunits synthesized on different polysomes and that subunit contacts between the porin subunits occur in conserved regions of the primary sequence.
The predictability of Obama's Nobel speech The Nobel Peace Prize Committee played host Thursday to a classic Barack Obama moment, albeit likely not the one it anticipated. Obama delivered a blockbuster speech. Acknowledging the tension of a president at war accepting a prize for peace, he defended the necessity of force to build a more just world, while paying respect to the principles of diplomacy, non-violence and the aspirations of lasting peace. He squared the circle, as he so often does, leaving some of his critics perplexed and some of his supporters dismayed. The Nobel committee members must have been surprised. Surely, they expected more about international law and diplomacy and less about the use of force.Yet the entirety of the Nobel Prize saga -- the premature nomination, the award, the speech and the aftermath -- followed a familiar script. First came the near-messianic adulation by Obama's fans. Based on a nomination submitted a mere two weeks into this presidency, the Nobel committee wrote: "Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future." Then, the celebration, complete with gratuitous conservative-bashing. Slamming the previous administration, Norwegian Nobel Committee Chairman Thorbjørn Jagland noted in his presentation speech Thursday, "The U.S.A. is now paying its bills to the U.N. It is joining various committees, and acceding to important conventions. International standards are again respected. Torture is forbidden; the president is doing what he can to close Guantanamo." Then, the president's turn. He laid out a pragmatic vision not readily caricatured as either liberal or conservative. "There will be times when nations -- acting individually or in concert -- will find the use of force not only necessary but morally justified. I make this statement mindful of what Martin Luther King said in this same ceremony years ago -- 'Violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem: It merely creates new and more complicated ones.'... But as a head of state sworn to protect and defend my nation, I cannot be guided by their examples alone. I face the world as it is, and cannot stand idle in the face of threats to the American people." At home, disillusioned left wingers continued to beat their drums, the Huffington Post afire with frustration over the troop escalation in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, right-wingers offered reminders that the president shouldn't have received the award in the first place, even if the speech was well-received. This is how all of the first year of Obama's presidency has gone. The adulation, the expectations, the pragmatic approach, the disillusionment on the left and hostility on the right. And through it all, the forward march of the president. While President Bush hewed too closely to his Republican base, President Obama has not been afraid to ignore left-wing admirers. Even so, he sounded a familiar echo of his predecessor at Thursday's press conference. "The goal is not to win a popularity contest or to get an award -- even one as esteemed as the Nobel Peace Prize," the president said. "The goal is to advance American interests, make ourselves a continuing force for good in the world. If I'm successful in those tasks then hopefully some of the criticism will subside, but that's not really my concern. And if I'm not successful then all the praise and the awards in the world won't disguise that fact." Unlike Bush, Obama listens to allies and critics, which is a sounder approach to decision making. But once he makes up his mind, he has the ability to tune out the distractions, to stay the course with dignity, despite the enormous ruckus surrounding him. He knows that while the Nobel committee may not judge him on his accomplishments, history will.
Gram-scale synthesis of single-crystalline graphene quantum dots with superior optical properties. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) have various alluring properties and potential applications, but their large-scale applications are limited by current synthetic methods that commonly produce GQDs in small amounts. Moreover, GQDs usually exhibit polycrystalline or highly defective structures and thus poor optical properties. Here we report the gram-scale synthesis of single-crystalline GQDs by a facile molecular fusion route under mild and green hydrothermal conditions. The synthesis involves the nitration of pyrene followed by hydrothermal treatment in alkaline aqueous solutions, where alkaline species play a crucial role in tuning their size, functionalization and optical properties. The single-crystalline GQDs are bestowed with excellent optical properties such as bright excitonic fluorescence, strong excitonic absorption bands extending to the visible region, large molar extinction coefficients and long-term photostability. These high-quality GQDs can find a large array of novel applications in bioimaging, biosensing, light emitting diodes, solar cells, hydrogen production, fuel cells and supercapacitors.
RIO DE JANEIRO — Reading through the hacked cellphone messages of Brazilian prosecutors and judges, Glenn Greenwald knew he had a blockbuster story. Mr. Greenwald, an American journalist, figured he was well equipped to weather the blowback. After all, he played a central role in exposing the secret intelligence programs leaked by Edward Snowden, the national security contractor, five years ago. “I assumed it was going to be very similar to the Snowden story,” Mr. Greenwald said. “I’m going to know how to do this.” He greatly underestimated. The cellphone messages sent shock waves through Brazil when the news organization Mr. Greenwald co-founded, The Intercept Brasil, wrote about them last year, raising doubts about the fairness of the vast corruption investigation that upended the country and ultimately helped pave the way for the election of Brazil’s far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro.

Histopathologic evaluation of liver biopsy for cirrhosis. In current medical practice, the clinical diagnosis of cirrhosis is rendered when a patient has suggestive imaging findings or features of portal hypertension (pHTN). Liver biopsy may be considered to assess potential underlying cause(s). Cirrhosis, however, is not the only etiology of pHTN; in fact, schistosomiasis remains a significant factor worldwide. pHTN results from obstruction of hepatic blood flow; it is classified clinically based on either the anatomic location of obstruction or hepatic venous pressure gradient measurements. The clinical categories carry clinicopathologic significances. Histopathologically, pHTN is manifest with either cirrhotic or noncirrhotic features. Noncirrhotic pHTN results from a heterogeneous group of disease processes, all of which result in vascular remodeling with variable parenchymal nodularity and fibrosis. This review summarizes liver biopsy findings of cirrhosis and possible etiologies and provides a stepwise approach for the histologic differential diagnosis of a liver biopsy done for "cirrhosis."
Sometimes it seems as if God is ignoring our prayers. Patience is a virtue when it comes to waiting on God's provision, but it's important to remember the solution doesn't always come on our terms. Whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual fulfillment we're seeking, TCW contributors weigh in on how they have come to believe God knows best—even when the going gets tough.

Shupe Standing in line, I watch helplessly as a candy bar sails through the air, into the empty cart in front of me. The grinning, piggy-tailed four-year-old whose pitch sent it flying never once takes her eyes off me; her gaze is as steady as her determination. "I've got one just like her at home," the cashier chuckles, shaking her head. "You have a little one at home?" I ask, stretching out as far as my five-foot-two-and-a-half-inch frame will allow, in a failed effort to retrieve the lone candy bar. "No, just one like her. She'll be a handful for you."

A Griffin is a creature that has the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. They can only be born of magic, and can only be killed by magic. Any nonmagical weapon that strikes them- even steel- will shatter off their skin and feathers, given they are invincible to them. Contents One particular Griffin attacked Camelot during the reign of Uther Pendragon, who sent his son and a battalion of knights to attempt to kill it. They failed, but the griffin was later killed when Lancelot charged at it with a lance imbued with magic by Merlin. Prior to this attack, the griffin was believed to exist only in myth. Information on griffins was obtained by Camelot's court physician Gaius in the castle library (Lancelot).
Wooden furniture, for example pine frame beds, is now often supplied in a flat pack for assembly at home. Certain sections such as for example the bed ends, top (headrest) and bottom are often assembled in the factory by gluing and by the use of dowels or mortise and tenon etc. These can be neatly assembled without any unsightly fixing members being visible.

Dynamic properties of a delayed protein cross talk model. In this paper we investigate how the inclusion of time delay alters the dynamical properties of the Jacob-Monod model, describing the control of the beta-galactosidase synthesis by the lac repressor protein in E. coli. The consequences of a time delay on the dynamics of this system are analysed using Hopf's theorem and Lyapunov-Andronov's theory applied to the original mathematical model and to an approximated version. Our analytical calculations predict that time delay acts as a key bifurcation parameter. This is confirmed by numerical simulations. A critical value of time delay, which depends on the values of the model parameters, is analytically established. Around this critical value, the properties of the system change drastically, allowing under certain conditions the emergence of stable limit cycles, that is self-sustained oscillations. In addition, the features of the end product repression play an essential role in the characterisation of these limit cycles: if cooperativity is considered in the end product repression, time delay higher than the mentioned critical value induce differentiated responses during the oscillations, provoking cycles of all-or-nothing response in the concentration of the species.
Termidor Termidor – Better Than Other Liquids Like many other termite control products, Termidor is a liquid – but that’s where the similarities end. Among liquid termiticides, Termidor is in a far more effective league of its own. Termidor is undetectable, termites neither avoid its treatment zone nor try to find a way around it. Even other nonrepellent liquids can’t match Termidor’s unprecedented performance or success rate. Some claim to be “nearly,” “virtually,” or “almost” as effective, but the difference between “almost as good as Termidor” and Termidor itself can make all the difference in the world when it comes to ensuring your home is termite free. Better than baits… without the wait. A bait system does not seek out termites. Instead, termites actually have to find a bait station and then “recruit” sufficient colony members to it as well for it to do any good. Unfortunately, there’s no guarantee termites already in or heading for your home will ever find it at all! If they do, it can then take many months for a bait system to control their colony. Termidor starts working immediately and is the fastest and most effective at eliminating termites in and around structures.
Q: What does "to pick someone's cherry" mean? Does it strictly refer to taking someone's virginity, or does it express sexual intercourse in general? A: Nobody "picks" anybody's cherry. Cherries are "popped" and cherry in this case refers to hymen. To "pop one's cherry" in a non-sexual way is to do a thing for the first time. Cherry-picking is something else altogether.
In a measure designed to fight racism and intolerance in the the armed forces, the British government yesterday fired the entire British army after a photo emerged of a large group of British soldiers happily posing with "hate speech" liberalist Tommy Robinson. By posing with Robinson, the "squaddies" were implicitly endorsing the controversial activist's hard-line anti-child-rape views and possibly his admiration for the state of Israel. As not all the servicemen could be identified, due to the fact that they were wearing similar clothing and all smiling, the Ministry of Defence decided that it would be best to let the entire army go rather than harbour a single Tommy Robinson supporter or sympathiser. This means that Britain will be temporarily undefended until a new British army that doesn't include any racists can be recruited. In the meantime, the UK will be defended by a force field constructed by the female Doctor Who and a crack squad of wizards from Hogwarts College, flying on broomsticks and casting spells on any approaching enemy. Britain's new frontline defenders.
What is Female Viagra? I hear about Viagra and other new pills and creams for women to function better in bed. Which works the best? The answer is probably "none of the above." Sexual desire, arousal, and function are driven by a complex stew of factors including biology, psychology, culture, relationship, and situation. Female Viagra Ask the Sexpert Female Viagra Dear Dr. Klein, I hear about Viagra and other new pills and creams for women to function better in bed. Which works the best? Dear Reader, The answer is probably "none of the above." Sexual desire, arousal, and function are driven by a complex stew of factors including biology, psychology, culture, relationship, and situation. Pills and creams are used on the assumption that a person's sexual difficulty is vascular (blood vessels) or neurological (nervous system) in nature. While this is undoubtedly true in some cases, no one is really sure how many. In my experience as a sex therapist, the number of such people is small--and, generally, most of them also have psychological or relationship issues to deal with. When people have difficulty functioning in bed the way they want to, I assume that their bodies are responding appropriately to various aspects of the situation in which they're being sexual. The question is, exactly what are their bodies responding reasonably to? For example, if someone has low desire for sex that she thinks will be unpleasant, that makes sense. Or if a person has trouble having an orgasm when she keeps telling herself that sweating or yelling during sex isn't ladylike, that makes sense. Before you try pills or creams to make sex better, ask yourself if your sexual difficulties are being influenced by frustration with your mate, your feelings about your body or sex, contraceptive difficulties, or painful events in the past. These are all issues that must be resolved to enhance sexual functioning--and there are no lotions that will help you do so. Viagra has not been approved for women, and its manufacturer says clinical trials of it with women have been disappointing. For that matter, Viagra has been disappointing--or even aggravating--for many couples. After adjusting to a lack of erections over time, many people experience the sudden ability to get erect as quite disruptive. Men start chasing their mates around the house, wanting to use their new toy at odd hours. Women start accusing their mates of infidelity--"now that you can, I bet you are." Some couples kiss and have non-intercourse sex less, reducing the woman's chance of orgasm. Some women are ambivalent about the whole idea--"are you excited by me, or by your pill?" Because sexual function is psychologically complicated, and most people unhappy with their functioning develop additional emotional concerns, resolving emotional and relationship issues will always be central to enhancing sexual function. To get more blood to your vulva, address your feelings, rather than your blood vessels.
What is the niche for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome? This article reviews the results of case series and trials which evaluated venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) for severe respiratory failure. Potential indications of the technique in this setting are discussed. Major technological improvements in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machines and the positive results of the conventional ventilatory support versus extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for severe adult respiratory failure (CESAR) trial have reignited interest in VV-ECMO in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and persistent hypoxemia or hypercarbia on conventional mechanical ventilation. The technique has also been successfully used as a rescue therapy for the most severe ARDS cases associated with the recent Influenza A(H1N1) pandemic. However, as the CESAR study was criticized for methodological limitations and because results of nonrandomized case-series of ECMO are prone to selection biases, indications for VV-ECMO remain highly controversial. Before widespread diffusion of VV-ECMO for severe ARDS, new trials should test the efficacy of early initiation of the technique with tight control of mechanical ventilation in the control group, initiation of ECMO prior to transportation to ECMO centers, and the use of ECMO in every patient randomly assigned to receive it.

Pages Audiences My lords, ladies, gentlemen and others It appears that you are either intending to be an audience member in this ethereal little theatre, for at least one forthcoming performance, or you are here only for a tour. If the latter is the case, you may merely intend to boast to your friends, subsequently, that you have been here. Even if you are here for a performance, perhaps having attended a few earlier ones, please note that your experiences as an audience member are meant to improve your future conversational and leadership abilities. During most performances here, however, you will be asked to remain silent, and to sit or stand still, depending upon your location. Attentiveness is very important when carefully observing what is happening. In the 21st century, most people find it difficult to observe anything carefully. There are too many distractions. Minds wander. The volume rises. The lights flash. The fireworks explode. There is plenty of sensation and very little perceptiveness in much entertainment elsewhere, just as there are plenty of opinions offered in the world but little rationale. In this little theatre, only persons supplying enlightened forms of patronage are permitted to attend the private, exclusive performances. Only they are permitted to participate in the private tours. Patrons are persons of perceptiveness. They seek explanations rather than salient sensations. They want to make sense of situations at a deeper level than is usual for most people. If you are intending to become one of the remarkably well-informed patrons here, will you sit attentively in a beautiful box? Will you stand serenely in the impressive stands? Will you sprawl expressively in the adaptable stalls? Will you show gracious empathy from an astonishing balcony? Will you perch appropriately amongst the gods? In anticipation of sprezzatura performances, audience members are encouraged to become acquainted with all associated subjects. There is no excuse for ignoring the necessity to be well prepared, understatedly attentive and a true servant of art and enlightenment. Even for public performances, at least half of our usual audience members are amateur musicians, singers, writers and actors, or they once were. At least twenty percent of the rest consider themselves to be arts professionals, though most other persons would consider the majority of those individuals to be amateurs, or excessively lucky. Most of the remainder of the audience are either business people or politicians or professionals, or relatively affluent, and relatively healthy, retirees. Half a dozen or so bewildered additional individuals may only be here as a consequence of acquiring their tickets as gifts. Even the most well-informed audience member is likely to be overwhelmed here. The relatively ignorant ones, therefore, should proceed with extreme caution. On the public tour, all sorts of persons wander through here, very few of whom are appropriately attired. They usually look like typical, bedraggled tourists in their ill-fitting leisure wear. For all performances and presentations, whether inclusive or exclusive, audience members are encouraged to dress their best. Many do so formally, in white tie and opera hat or a diamond tiara, a suitably understated evening gown, a beautifully embroidered shawl, elegant opera gloves, properly polished footwear and properly polished speech and manners. They may occasionally be costumed in keeping with the theme presented, or they may prefer to dress simply and unobtrusively. The front of house staff are distinctively attired, regardless of gender. They have a nose for trouble and will sniff it out very quickly indeed. Persons perceived to have impertinently perfumed themselves, thereby choking or otherwise suffocating half the occupants of the auditorium, will be asked to remove themselves from the venue forthwith. Good breathing is a necessary occupation here. The front of house staff also have an ear for trouble. This is particularly useful whenever the sound engineer on duty appears to be going deaf. The ushering assistants often have an eye for trouble, too, particularly if any audience members have decided to dress similarly to themselves. You appear to be wearing a rust belt. Do you believe it to be the latest, exclusive fashion or something you borrowed merely to keep your somewhat scruffy clothing in place? Are you dressed like a pauper for any particular reason? Throughout Villa Twaklinilkawt, house management is a highly serious activity. Before applying for paid positions, all front of house staff, in any area of the villa, and throughout its grounds, have been required to complete rigorous training in etiquette, hospitality, security, history, diplomacy and first aid. This is meant to reassure audience members, and especially our patrons. During the intervals in the public performances, there is a considerable rush for the free and cheap refreshments. Please queue here. There is little rush at all for the better quality hospitality. Only a few patrons can afford that. Please show your VIPticket at the Neon-Lobby-Ruledoor. Now, we have a lovely subscription service for anyone either able to afford it or able to obtain a loan for it. We also have a sparkling range of exclusive and prestigious VIP packages for our donors, patrons, benefactors and trustees. Do you already possess something you are able to re-mortgage? The open access policies of Villa Twaklinilkawt have been remarkably generous for much of the past decade. The purpose of that openness has mainly been to assist scholarly research into artistic inspiration in the context of legitimate, democratic governance. This is particularly the case in relation to scientific evidence of the relationship between the production of art and political legitimacy. You may already have noticed that corporate sponsorship is not associated with our performances and presentations though a little advertising provides suitable recompense for the musicians and support staff involved in the provision of philanthropic, free events. In this auditorium, few visitors are likely to be aware of what happens behind the scenes. They are also unaware of how this theatre is mainly funded, until that matter is urgently brought to their attention. That urgency is occasionally evident once the lights go down. In such instances, whilst sitting on the dark for longer than expected, with no sign of action on the stage, many audience members are likely to look longingly at the EXIT signs. The signs of this theatre are then likely to flash. Although they may briefly become EXIST signs, as elsewhere in Villa Twaklinilkawt, the words PAY and ATTENTION are then likely to flash alternately. Beautiful images of art are then likely to be projected onto the screen while holograms of ballerinas and angels float down from the screen, towards the proscenium art of the world stage. They disappear as the curtains open, to be replaced by a projected backdrop of various historical artworks of theatrical performances. Do you have any identification documents, credit cards and influential friends with you? These will be required before each use of the specially hired, utilitarian lavatorial facilities. The cost of entry to those is equivalent to the usual ticket prices for the private theatrical performances. There are discounts for booking in advance. There are additional charges for pre-use cleaning. Please note that if you miss your time slot, you will be forced to join the back of the queue, or pay extra for an upgrade. The lavatories in the foyer are for registered patrons only. Please do not bring any food items or liquids into the auditorium. These will be confiscated. No-one wants to smell your boiled lozenges whilst listening to a sublime aria. Neither should items indicating other bad habits be brought here, even if not directly related to the dentistry profession. The smell of tobacco and alcohol are banned in the auditorium just as much as their consumption. We must all set a good example to the performers. As previously mentioned, strong perfumes, and any other unnecessary scents are banned, as are unacceptable standards of personal hygiene. Talking, whispering, singing, squealing, shouting, singing, kissing, tapping the toes, dancing and percussive uses of the hands and/or mouth are not appropriate for audience members, unless invited onto one or more of the stages. Even applause is not permitted here. Hitting one's hands together loudly is a most unseemly activity. Silent appreciation is all that is required. Do you have adequate self-discipline? If you consider yourself to be a critic, please ensure you have a proper, prior understanding of artistic integrity. Most self-described critics cause a great deal of annoyance by making ill-informed comments through various forms of media. The inclusive access gained here by critics, and other ordinary members of the public, is often somewhat overwhelming for such individuals. Is that not the whole purpose of theatre? Remove your hat and undo your large hairstyle well before the performance begins. Tall persons will be expected to lower their seats, in accordance with the instructions supplied. Audiences can often be fickle, regardless of their predominant gender. And some audience members have very poor taste. They may even mistake this theatre for a cinema, or even their own personal television set or channel or programme. They tend to be the same sorts of individuals who mistake essential farmland and conservation areas for golf courses. On more exclusive occasions, crowd control is only necessary to keep out ineligible persons, unruly offspring, pets and other potential pests. The language used here is mainly one or more varieties of English. Translations are occasionally supplied for non-native speakers of particular accents and dialects. Foreign languages are only used here for artistic purposes, most usually with a translation supplied. Please note that the translations presented are also likely to contain elements of artistic licence. Whether you are here mainly on a tour or in anticipation of being in the audience, what are your expectations of this venue? Are you seeking to be here for a gig or a jig or something more refined? As you may have noticed, the world stage here is the proscenium sort. That is due to the fact that most audience members seem to prefer viewing the world through a fixed perspective, most usually involving some sort of screen and rather large amounts of dramatic antagonism. Please note that the technical and administrative staff and contractors here are not permitted to display their ambitions as stage performers during their normal working hours, and certainly not during the presence of audience members, tour groups or rehearsals. They may perform during auditions, especially if the standard of performance of the other persons in attendance is lower than anticipated. The volunteers associated with Villa Twaklinilkawt are currently training for a wide range of duties, whether learning the technicalities of the fly system or the proper usage of a fly swat. Unlike most theatres and other performance venues, and the actions associated with them, this one has a relatively low carbon footprint. No-one is expected to use much physical exertion or fossil fuel or nuclear energy to be here. The mental exertions, however, can be considerable for the unprepared. Unless you are here expecting a lecture here, please do not take notes or make any other form of recording. As well as a considerably competent stage crew, we have a fully professional legal team. Are you familiar with the boundaries of this intellectual property? Villa Twaklinilkawt is, of course, a location in which the harmonious interplay of beauty, understanding and magnificence can be sublimely supplied in all seriousness. Yet enlightenment also requires humour in appropriate doses in order to prevent dullness, moroseness and abusiveness. The interpretative aspects of the performances here are the responsibility of audience members themselves. Irresponsible audience members will be removed by the very large security guards on duty. You may be aware that inclusive theatrical occasions, sporting venues and public transportation systems have much in common, as do public libraries, parliaments, public hospitals and public schools. Yet there are people who prefer to avoid such places. They do not enjoy being in crowds. Everyone is an actor. All education and training is mimicry. Most forms of playfulness use memory and imagination. And playfulness may or may not involve a plot. But not everyone wants to be an overt performer, or to participate in public events in self-conscious discomfort. It is their right to be themeselves. They are likely to have other talents. Do you prefer to attend fringe theatre acts or traditional performances? Do you prefer juried or unjuried events? Has your pride, or self-delusion, ever been injured in a competitive situation? Anything involving paying audiences is indirectly juried. The word-of-mouth recommendations of audience members may have brought you here. Such opinions are often used in assessing whether an event is worthwhile for other people to experience. Yet each performance and presentation here is unique. Nothing here is ever repeated, except with variations. What are you usually expectations of your fellow audience members and what are their expectations of you? When do you prefer daytime events and when do you prefer evening events? When do you prefer indoor events and when do you prefer outdoor events? When do you prefer to be a passive participant and when do you prefer to be an active one? When do you prefer to dress casually and when do you prefer to be costumed splendidly? As well as the world stage, there is the theatre in the round. The latter is likely to pop up unexpectedly. There are also smaller spaces in Villa Twaklinilkawt for recitals and other purposes. There are also several pavilions in the grounds, of course, as well as a lovely bandstand. Sometimes, you may just want to fit in and go with the crowd. At other times you may prefer to be different, and even to stand out, and perhaps intend to steal the show. Is art usually meant to involve the audience in making a wide range of comparisons? All audience members have antecedent experiences to draw upon whilst attending events. For a sprezzatura performance, all participants are expected to display a relaxed confidence and a believable level of competence, regardless of how they may truly be feeling. This equally applies to audience members. How do you usually pretend to feel other than you actually do, and why do you do it? There is much hostility and rage in the world, much of it poisoned by the evil of revenge. It is even misguidedly validated through entertainment and the arts, especially through the media, thereby reinforcing prejudices. Poor taste and immorality are often encouraged through the media if there is money to be made from them. How often have you performed in a leading role the Social Media Show and when have you only acted as an ordinary audience member in it? True art never causes harm. It audience members experience desire or envy or greed or lust as a consequence of it, that is not the fault of art. How audience members feel in relation to art is part of themselves. It is not the place of art to provoke an emotion. Its purpose is to stimulate thoughts about why particular emotions are felt by a particular person at a particular moment. Emotions stimulate decisions and opinions.
Q: C# Selenium Element Click can't find subsequent sub elements with same classname. What am I doing incorrect? Given When page first loads and this statement is run : webdriver.FindElements(By.ClassName("TreeNode"); I can easily find all those elements, but after clicking on one of them to get to the sublements, that same query doesn't show the new elements even though they are all using the same class. How do I get Selenium to cough up the new elements? A: I found that the test program was not waiting long enough after the click. I added an arbitrary wait and then all of the elements showed up. Apparently, the test was moving much faster than the browser was.
Maternal nutrition and predisposition to later kidney disease. Although it is well-accepted that size at birth is inversely related to adult blood pressure and cardiovascular risk in humans, the majority of information available with regard to maternal nutrition, prenatal growth, and subsequent renal disease comes from animal models. Restriction of food or protein during specific windows of pregnancy leads to hypertension in adult offspring. Depending on the degree of maternal restriction, nephron number and renal function in the offspring may be reduced, and proteinuria and histological signs of renal disease are present. All of these abnormalities appear to worsen with age. Female gender is relatively protective against these prenatal insults, but with more severe maternal dietary restriction female offspring are also affected. In addition to macronutrients, roles for several micronutrients have been identified in fetal programming for hypertension and renal disease. Ongoing investigations into the roles of sex hormones, the renin-angiotensin system, and vitamin A in these developmental processes may lead to strategies for prevention of dietary programming for hypertension and renal disease in humans.

Our outstanding collection of hats, most of which are brand new, are great fun. I encourage any guest to consider this elegant accessory to…
Let's call it a season. Any series left could end up having games not mean anything to our target team and they could sit good players. I'm not willing to risk it in an effort to gain another betting unit or two. Thanks everyone for following and the encouragement throughout the season. Let's all hope B2W comes back next year and we have better results. I'm going to take a well needed beach break and come back to hit pucks hard. LOL
