This disclosure relates generally to tires, and more particularly to sensors for tires.
Many different types of sensor devices exist for providing information about the tires of a wheeled vehicle. In order to optimize vehicle performance and minimize tire wear, it is desirable to monitor and maintain such tire characteristics as proper tire inflation and tire loading. For instance, tire over-inflation and/or under-inflation can lead to uneven tread wear, lessened grip at the tire-to-road interface, and reduced tire performance, among other things.
Known sensors for providing such information typically are mounted to the tire in various locations, such as in the tread, sidewall, inside the tire, etc. Existing sensors tend to be complicated to operate and difficult to mount to a tire.
For these and other reasons, there is a need for the present invention. |
Well, that's simple enough. Once Banks had one Angel in mind, she just worked to convince Kristen Stewart that the film was one she should be a part of. Aside from being the group leader, the only other thing we know about Sabina is that she's good at partying. How that will help in her work as an Angel, I don't know, but Stewart has taken on a wide variety of intriguing roles since her time with the sparkly vamps of her youth, so there's no doubt that the role, and film as a whole appealed to her, and that she'll bring something cool to her work as Sabina. |

Soul Surfer
Based on the true story of Bethany Hamilton, an up-and-coming surfer who loses her arm to a shark. Her story features her inspirational comeback and the obstacles she faces while returning to the sport she loves.
Featured Animal Action
The beach grounds were inspected for hazards and secured prior to filming. Cast and crew members were introduced to the animals and instructed on their proper handling.
Throughout the film, Bethany (Anna Sophia Robb) had a pet dog, Hana, who was seen performing such mild action as sitting/lying/licking, being petted, and walking off leash. For all of these scenes, trainers used hand signals and verbal commands to cue the mild action, which the trained dog was accustomed to performing. The barking was also a trained behavior .Whenever Hana is seen with objects in her mouth, these were safe, lightweight props that the animal was trained to carry/play with.
In the scene where Bethany tries on her prosthetic arm, a trainer baited the straps with food in the middle to get the dog to bite them. The off-screen trainer got the dog's attention by cueing it with the help of a treat.
After Bethany gets home from the hospital, she and Hana share a moment in her bedroom. In order to get the dog to lick Bethany's stump, the arm bandage was covered with some treats and the dog was instructed by an off-screen trainer to lick the stump.

Q:
Global variable in javascript result is always undefine
I had trouble with my global variable hope you can help me.
<li>
<a href="<?php echo site_url("adminController/questionAdd/".$row->subjectid); ?>" id="<?php echo $row->subjectid; ?>" class="subject">Add Question</a>
</li>
Now from that line I passed my id in this line by click() in javascript
$(document).ready(function () {
var correctAnswer;
var subId;
$( ".subject" ).click(function() {
subId = ($(this).attr('id')); //passed the id variable into the global variable
alert(subId) // when I alert this it returns the value
});
now I used the global variable in this line the same $(document).ready(function ()
$('#form-user').submit(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var me = $(this);
var correct = correctAnswer;
var passedSubId = subId; // passed the global variable to this local variable
console.log(correct); // this is okey
console.log(subId); // this is undefined
});
result
i
undefined
A:
Your code will never work as you think it will.
What you are doing there I think is you click on your link, which then moves you from page A to page B, and you want to use that variable that you set on page A on page B, sorry but this will never work, when you refresh your page your entire script is run again and it does not know what have you done on the previous page.
You would have to either take that id from the url ( its there ) or store it for example in local storage, try this:
$(document).ready(function () {
var correctAnswer;
var subId;
$( ".subject" ).click(function() {
subId = ($(this).attr('id')); //passed the id variable into the global variable
alert(subId) // when I alert this it returns the value
localStorage.setItem('subId', subId);
console.log('id stored');
});
$('#form-user').submit(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var me = $(this);
var correct = correctAnswer;
var passedSubId = subId; // passed the global variable to this local variable
console.log(correct); // this is okey
console.log(subId); // this is undefined
storedSubId = localStorage.getItem('subId');
alert(storedSubId);
console.log('stored id');
});
});
Anyway getting it from url is definitely the way you want to go

Ever wonder which countries produce most of their electricity from renewable sources like hydropower, wind power, solar power, geothermal and biomass & waste?
Today we’d like to show you a map that shows what percent of a countries total electricity generation comes from renewables. The map is color coded. Darker countries produce more % total from renewables.
Keep in mind that a country like China, which produces the most electricity from renewables, will still have a lower % of total because they generate a tonne of electricity overall. Same with United States. Also these percentages of not anything to do with consumption as many countries export electricity.

Chinese Oil Ships Found Violating UN Sanctions On North Korea
At least six Chinese cargo ships violated United Nations sanctions by delivering oil to North Korea in December, according to a new Wall Street Journal report.
U.S. intelligence photographs show Chinese-owned or operated ships heading to North Korean ports last month, contradicting claims by Beijing that the nation had stayed true to its commitments under the new sanctions. The violator ships have been identified by name.
China had agreed to halt fuel shipments as part of an international effort to pressure Pyongyang to forfeit its nuclear weapons and long-range missiles program.
After entering North Korean ports, the ships either transported an unspecified type of illicit cargo to Russia and Vietnam or made ship-to-ship transfers while on water.
The U.S. evidence also shows the ships endeavoring to disguise their activities, officials say. Certain vessels purposely turned off their Automatic Identification Systems (AIS), which could prove to be dangerous, as demonstrated by the recent collision of an Iranian and Chinese tanker in the East China Sea. Both ships’ tracking systems had been offline at the time of the crash for unknown reasons.
“When AIS is off in a vast sea, you are basically invisible,” Ioannis Sgouras, a veteran Greek captain of crude-oil carriers, told the WSJ. “You can still be picked up by other ships on radar if you are in range, but they can’t tell the ship’s name, cargo or destination.”
Oil supplies have been the focus of U.S. sanction efforts, but China has long been wary of cutting off North Korea’s oil. After the latest missile test by North Korea at the end of November, the U.S. intensified its pressure on Beijing. Among the options that are being considered, sources say, is destroying a missile launch site before a launch or destroying weapon stockpiles. |
Haters of messy pan cupboards everywhere... rejoice! This quick cupboard door modification will leave you with more time to enjoy cooking dinner and sipping wine and less time searching for that elusive pan lid that's hidden itself inside your deepest stock pot or slipped down behind that slow cooker you've never used.
Don't have a local pound/dollar store to buy sticky hooks?? Try these from Amazon!
I first did a similar hack a few years ago whilst a student. Finding pan lids annoyed me as much then as it does now and so after seeing a very elegant solution on Instructables, I set out to make it even simpler. Having moved house several times since then, I was impressed when a friend improved on my previous idea, at which point I realised my current house has the same problem... PAN LIDS EVERYWHERE. iceng's uses the existing fixings in the cupboard, which made me think, can there be an even simpler solution? And, since my cupboard fixings were in the wrong place for his hack, here we are. Cheap and easily available sticky hooks. |
Q:
ASP.Net MVC: how to create a JsonResult based on raw Json Data
Having a string containing the following raw Json data (simplified for the sake of the question):
var MyString = "{ 'val': 'apple' }";
How can I create a JsonResult object representing MyString?
I tried to use the Json(object) method. but it handles the raw json data as an string -logically :P-. So the returned HTTP response looks like:
"{ 'val': 'apple' }"
instead of the given raw Json Data:
{ 'val': 'apple' }
this is what I want to achieve:
A:
The Json() method on Controller is actually a helper method that creates a new JsonResult. If we look at the source code for this class*, we can see that it's not really doing that much -- just setting the content type to application/json, serializing your data object using a JavaScriptSerializer, and writing it the resulting string.. You can duplicate this behavior (minus the serialization, since you've already done that) by returning a ContentResult from your controller instead.
public ActionResult JsonData(int id) {
var jsonStringFromSomewhere = "{ 'val': 'apple' }";
// Content() creates a ContentResult just as Json() creates a JsonResult
return Content(jsonStringFromSomewhere, "application/json");
}
* Starting in MVC2, JsonResult also throws an exception if the user is making an HTTP GET request (as opposed to say a POST). Allowing users to retrieve JSON using an HTTP GET has security implications which you should be aware of before you permit this in your own app.

Back to the future: The potential relationship between leisure and education.
There is a long, documented history of the relationships among leisure, recreation, and education dating back to Greek philosophy.Originally there was little differentiation among the terms as they were presented as a unified process for youth and human development. Over time, each of these fields has developed, and their definitions have been shaped and reshaped. Using some of the original conceptions from Aristotle and Plato, coupled with foundational premises suggested by Dewey, this article frames current youth development efforts in a historical context. The authors suggest that perhaps what the separate professions might define as high-quality leisure, recreation, and educational experiences still maintain links among each. They further suggest that planned experiences with increasing levels of coordination can strengthen these links and develop an "education-for-leisure" perspective among participating youth and the choices they make. Self-determination theory (SDT) refers to the autonomy in choosing a particular behavior or action. Youth development opportunities that make connections between the content of a regular school day and choice of activity during out-of-school time can inculcate self-determined leisure choices that are productive. Planned and intentional educational experiences expand the possibilities for productive recreational choices. This article therefore proposes a framework for increasing levels of coordination among educational and recreational entities so that participating youth can develop and adopt an education-for-leisure disposition. |

Context length and reading novel words: an eye-movement investigation.
The current study investigated the effects of context length on the processing of novel words. Participants read real adjectives or novel words embedded in either sentence or paragraph contexts while their eye movements were recorded. The results extend the literature on novel word reading by exploring the time-course of word processing using realistic contexts derived from existing sources. Eye-movement measures demonstrated that readers were very sensitive to the presence of novel words. Novel words were more likely to be fixated and had longer reading times than real words. In addition, words in sentence contexts had longer gaze durations than words in paragraphs. The effect of novelty on reading the target word did not vary as a function of the context length. While performance on the surprise post-test did not demonstrate significant word learning, participants did report higher confidence in correct responses than incorrect, suggesting that some learning took place. |
Iran's president has already called for Israel to be wiped off the map
"If European countries claim that they have killed Jews in World War II... why don't they provide the Zionist regime with a piece of Europe," Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told Iranian television.
"Germany and Austria can provide the... regime with two or three provinces for this regime to establish itself, and the issue will be resolved."
The president's remarks were quickly condemned by Israel and the US.
"This is not the first time, unfortunately, that the Iranian president has expressed the most outrageous ideas concerning Jews and Israel," Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Mark Regev said.
"He is not just Israel's problem. He is a worry for the entire international community," he added.
'Outrageous'
Austrian Chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel, quoted by AFP agency, described the remarks as "an outrageous gaffe, which I want to repudiate in the sharpest manner".
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said the Iranian leader's comments "further underscore our concerns about the regime".
"And it's all the more reason why it's so important that the regime not have the ability to develop nuclear weapons," he said.
UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said: "I condemn [the comments] unreservedly. They have no place in civilised political debate."
Mr Ahmadinejad's stance was also condemned by French President Jacques Chirac and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who were meeting in Berlin.
Nuclear row
In October, Mr Ahmadinejad caused an outcry by calling for Israel to "be wiped off the map".
His latest comments come as Iran is mired in controversy over its nuclear programme, which it says is solely for the provision of fuel, but which the US says is aimed at producing nuclear weapons.
An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report in September said questions about Iran's nuclear programme remained unanswered despite an intensive investigation. |
Q:
jQuery mobile app always scrolls if screen is shorter than some size
The content on my screen is definitely able to fit into the given screen size, yet the app still shows scrollbars if the screen is shorter than a certain height.
This fiddle shows the issue, if you shrink the result pane to a certain height.
What I've tried:
Adding `overflow-y:hidden' to the body fixes this issue, but I want to be able to scroll in the y-direction if needed, just not when it's not needed.
How can I stop this scrolling when unnecessary?
A:
The reason ended up being because of a rule in the jQueryMobile.css:
.ui-page, bla, bla{
min-height: 420px;
}
changing that to a smaller number that matches what I needed fixed the issue.

Electrokinetics of polar liquids in contact with nonpolar surfaces.
Zeta potentials of several polar protic (water, ethylene glycol, and formamide) as well as polar aprotic (dimethyl sulfoxide) liquids were measured in contact with three nonpolar surfaces using closed-cell electroosmosis. The test surfaces were chemisorbed monolayers of alkyl siloxanes, fluoroalkyl siloxanes, and polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) grafted on glass slides. All these liquids exhibited substantial electrokinetics in contact with the nonpolar surfaces with these observations: the electrokinetic effect on the fluorocarbon-coated surface is the strongest and on a PDMS grafted surface, the effect is the weakest. Even though these hygroscopic liquids contain small amounts of water, the current models of charging based on the adsorption of hydroxide ions at the interface or the dissociation of pre-existing functionalities (e.g., silanol groups) appear to be insufficient to account for the various facets of the experimental observations. The results illustrate how ubiquitous the phenomenon of electrokinetics is with polar liquids contacting such apparently passive nonpolar surfaces. We hope that these results will inspire further experimental and theoretical studies in this important area of research that has potential practical implications. |

Futhark (programming language)
Futhark is a functional data parallel array programming language originally developed at DIKU as part of the HIPERFIT project. It focuses on enabling data parallel programs written in a functional style to be executed with high performance on massively parallel hardware, in particular on GPUs. Futhark is strongly inspired by NESL, but imposes constraints on how parallelism can be expressed in order to enable more aggressive compiler optimisations. In particular, irregular nested data parallelism is not supported.

Technological advances in computer hardware, software and networking have lead to efficient, cost effective computing systems (e.g., desktop computers, laptops, handhelds, cell phones, servers . . . ) that can communicate with each other from essentially anywhere in the world in order to exchange information. These systems continue to evolve into more reliable, robust and user-friendly systems. As a consequence, more and more industries and consumers are purchasing computers and utilizing them as viable electronic alternatives to traditional paper and verbal media for exchanging information. For example, many industries and consumers are leveraging computing technology to improve efficiency and decrease cost through web-based (e.g., on-line) services. For instance, consumers can search and retrieve particular information (e.g., via a search engine), purchase goods, view bank statements, invoke monetary transactions (e.g., pay a bill on-line), research products and companies, apply for employment, obtain real-time stock quotes, obtain a college degree, download files and applications, transmit correspondence (e.g., email, chat rooms . . . ), etc. with the click of a mouse.
In many instances, a search engine is utilized to search for information. In general, a search engine is a special program (e.g., computer executable instructions) designed to help find files (e.g., web pages, images, text . . . ) stored on a computer, for example, a public server or on one's own personal computer. A typical search engine allows a user to invoke a query for files that satisfy particular criteria, for example, files that contain a given word or phrase in a title or body. Web search engines generally work by storing information about a large number of web pages retrieved from the World Wide Web (WWW) through a web crawler, or an automated web browser, which follows essentially every link it locates. The contents of each web page are then analyzed to determine how it should be indexed, for example, words can be extracted from the titles, headings, or special fields called meta-tags. Data about web pages is stored in an index database for use in later queries. Some search engines store (or cache) all or part of a source page as well as information about the web pages. When a user invokes a query through the web search engine by providing key words, the web search engine looks up the index and provides a listing of web pages that best-match the criteria, usually with a short summary containing the document's title and/or parts of the text. Some web search engines employ a real-time approach, wherein information is obtained when a query is started rather than obtaining stored information through indexing. With this approach, the information is more up-to-date and there typically are less dead links and less system resources are needed, but more time is generally required to complete the request.
In general, the usefulness of a search engine depends on the relevance of the results it presents to a user and the presentation of such results. While there can be numerous web pages that include a particular word or phrase, some web pages may be more relevant, popular, or authoritative than others. Most search engines employ methods to rank the results to provide a“best” result first. How a search engine decides which pages are the best matches, and what order the results should be shown in, varies widely from one engine to another. A page is ranked based on how well it fits the user's query in combination of a query independent rank of the page. The query independent rank can be based on a multitude of factors such as the number of incoming links, the site traffic, how long the site has been around or the PageRank of the page. Techniques which utilize the link structure of a graph (e.g., PageRank) usually make the incorrect assumption that all hyperlinks should be treated equally. In reality this is not true; a page links to many places because they include ads and navigational links which may not be important. In fact there are many links on a page that are never followed, and sometimes there are few links which get a majority of the click-throughs. Plus, many pages are just pages to pass through to get to another more important page. |

Coming back from injury

Broken bones; pulled hamstrings; stress fractures; shoulder and wrist problems; cauliflower ear; and torn ACLs are just a few of the injuries students at our school have sustained, and yet most of those athletes have made comebacks.
Depending on the injury, players can lose more than just a season of participation. Sophomore Jared Steen said he believes his old broken collar bone injury has affected the way he plays basketball.
“I am definitely a lot more tentative as a player; if I had the chance to take a charge, I would not take the chance because I thought I might reinjure it,” Steen said.
Senior basketball player Christie Michals had an unknown stress fracture in her right foot, and had surgery to strengthen the bone.
“It was three months non-weight bearing, three months in a walking boot and I missed playing basketball my entire junior year,” Michals said.
Senior Brooks Martino has a number of injuries; he had a pulled a hamstring, injured both shoulders, and wrists, constantly and had a sore back and cauliflower ear; yet his injuries are not his focus.
“Being injured was not my top priority, wrestling at my level everyone is injured, ask anyone who won at states this year,” Martino said.
Martino said style of wrestling was also affected through his numerous injuries, but in a beneficial way.
“It [being injured] helped me correct a few mistakes, like I would be in the wrong position and that’s why I would get injured, so it affected me in a positive way,” Martino said.
Sophomore runner Steve Hiles has to use alternate methods to keep training during track season, even with tendonitis.
“I bike instead of running at practice, like I bike the course that the rest of the team would run,” Hiles said.
Senior soccer player Barbara Platenberg tore her ACL her junior year; when she came back, she was not the same player.
“It was kind of scary when I came back; I was always worried about getting hurt again,” Platenberg said. “I used to wear this huge brace, and it was really uncomfortable.”
Platenberg was in the process of trying to get a college scholarship when she tore her ACL.
“I actually committed after I got injured and I was nervous that I wouldn’t get a scholarship, but I got a scholarship to William and Mary, which was one of my top choices,” Platenberg said.
Platenberg said getting a scholarship really helped with her mental game.
“The coach of William and Mary said that he saw me play, and that he thought I could get back to playing at my previous level, which really helped with my confidence” Platenberg said.
Time spent out due to injury can make a player realize how much they miss the sport, especially when they come back to success.
“It feels really good to be back; every game I was out, I wanted to be in, and it really made me realize how much fun I have in basketball,” Steen said.
Martino agreed, hating even the time when he had to sit out of practice.
“It feels good to come back; I don’t like to sit around and watch,” Martino said. “It feels good to be back into it; there were a couple practices where I would just watch, and I didn’t like it.” |

Q:
About WP's save_post action
Quick question, in API's some times save_post is used(most of the time actually).
Is save_post the equivalent of the query action INSERT INTO whereas save_post saves metadata and forces Wordpress to do the rest of the work when used correctly?
Thanks in advance!
A:
Correct, "save_post" saves along with the meta_data which is stored in $_POST, $_GET or $post_data and then it is inserted into the posts table . let me know if that's helpful.

Cross Currency Swap (CCS)
Cross Currency Swap (CCS) is an agreement between two parties to exchange interest payments and principals denominated in two different currencies. Customers can fully hedge their interest rate and exchange rate risk by entering into CCS. Normally, CCS has an initial and final exchange of notional amount although the initial exchange can be omitted subject to agreement by both parties. The exchange of notional is made at a pre-agreed exchange rate, which eliminates the uncertainty related to foreign exchange movement. |

The application of computer assistance in planning osteotomy of the proximal femur.
Background. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the capabilities of the SCFEanalyzer computer program, which may be helpful in preoperative planning of osteotomy of the proximal femur. Material and methods. Computed tomography scans were performed on human bone specimens: one pelvis and two femoral bones (right and left). The CT data were used to demonstrate the abilities of our SCFEanalyzer software, which utilizes three-dimensional virtual models of anatomic structures constructed from these data. The software enables qualitative and quantitative spatial analysis of chosen parameters analogous to those done on the basis of plain radiographs. SCFEanalyzer makes it possible to evaluate the function of the hip joint by calculating the range of motion depending on the shape of bone structures. On the basis of the analysis of femoral geometry and function of the hip joint, it is possible to plan and simulate osteotomy of the proximal femur on the computer screen. Analogous qualitative and quantitative evaluation after performing the virtual surgery enables its potential effects to be assessed. Conclusions. The use of computer assistance in preoperative planning enable us to increase objectivity and repeatability, and to compare the results of different types of osteotomy of the proximal femur, and thus to choose the optimal operation in each individual case. |

Study set on North Atlantic right whales
A three-week study of North Atlantic right whales next month off Cape Cod will provide researchers with more information about the whales' diving and foraging behavior, genetics, vocalizations and the composition of their population.
Autonomous gliders, underwater robots of sorts, will also be tested to determine their feasibility for remote acoustic surveys in the future.
The whale survey, undertaken annually by the Woods Hole Laboratory of NOAA's Fisheries Service, will include shipboard and aerial observations, measurements of environmental conditions and zooplankton sampling tows to collect copepods, the primary prey of North Atlantic right whales. |
Liam Neeson has signed on to star in “The Trainer,” directed by Neil Jordan and written by David Donohue, James Villemaire and Todd Komarnicki (“Sully”). HanWay will be introducing the film to buyers at the AFM.
“John Moore (Neeson) is a premier race-horse trainer in the west of Ireland, who beset by tragedy, loses everything he cherishes, and almost forgets how to live,” according to a statement. “Into his life comes a teenage refugee, Nadya, who has fled her own horrors, and now finds herself in a confounding new world. Their only connection, to themselves, and ultimately to their own hearts, is a horse called Allabelle. Who is about to prove they may all still have one race left inside of them.”
The film is produced by Arthur Lappin, Todd Komarnicki, Robin Gurland and Gregory O’Connor. It was developed with the support of the Irish Film Board and set to start principal photography in Ireland next summer.
Neeson and Komarnicki are repped by CAA. Jordan is repped by Casarotto Ramsey & Associates and CAA.
CAA is arranging financing for the film and represents its domestic distribution rights. |

abstract: 'Mazurkiewicz traces describe concurrent behaviors of distributed systems. Trace-closed word languages, which are “linearizations” of trace languages, constitute a weaker notion of concurrency but still give us tools to investigate the latter. In this vein, our contribution is twofold. Firstly, we develop definitions that allow classification of [$\omega$-regular]{}trace languages in terms of the corresponding trace-closed [$\omega$-regular]{}word languages, capturing E-recognizable (reachability) and (deterministically) Büchi recognizable languages. Secondly, we demonstrate the first automata-theoretic result that shows the equivalence of [$\omega$-regular]{}trace-closed word languages and Boolean combinations of deterministically $I$-diamond B[ü]{}chi recognizable trace-closed languages.'

Q:
PHP Outputting Data with Escape Sequences
I am trying to concatenate retrieved data from the database into a table cell and make the URL clickable.
I am using the tag with the an href attribute to achieve that, but for some reason it is not working and I'm presented with a blank table cell. Any idea why?
echo "<tr>" .
"<td>" . $historyData['Name'] . "</td>" .
"<td><a href=\"" . $historyData['URL'] . "\"/a></td>" .
"</tr>";
Also tried
echo "<tr>" .
"<td>" . $historyData['Name'] . "</td>" .
"<td><a href="" . $historyData['URL'] . ""/a></td>" .
"</tr>";
Thanks in advance.
A:
You have an option to make a string with ' and ".
if(isset($historyData['Name']) && isset($historyData['URL'])){
echo "<tr>" .
"<td>" . $historyData['Name'] . "</td>" .
'<td><a href="' . $historyData['URL'] . '">title</a></td>' .
"</tr>";
} else {
echo 'Whoops, I made a booboo with my indexes..';
print_r($historyData);
}
Then there is also the option of doing something like this:
echo "<td><a href='{$historyData['URL']}'>title</a></td>";
Note that you require to use the not literal string, "

Writing academic papers always requires a student to have good command of English. Even some mistakes can influence the final grade. Take time practicing your writing, learn and read new material from article "Common Grammar Mistakes: English Idioms".
When it comes to writing, how you say it can often be as important as what you're saying. This is especially true when it comes to mistakes in grammar and usage. Whether you're working on your Ph.D. or an in-class essay for your high school English class, glaring writing errors will distract from your work and likely lower your grade. You spent all that time researching and writing, why not take a few extra minutes to make sure your work is as good as it can be?
Words That Sound Similar
Below are some of the most common word choice errors that happen because of words that sound or look similar.
affect ... effect
Affect is a verb, which means it should be used to describe the action in a sentence.
The weather is likely to affect the outcome of the game.
Effect is a noun, meaning it's usually the subject of the sentence or the object of the verb.
The effects of the medication can last for hours.
She wasn't sure what effect the construction would have on traffic.
allusion ... illusion
An allusion is indirect reference to a work of art or an idea.
The poem includes an allusion to Shakespeare's Hamlet.
An illusion is something that is seen or heard but that isn't real.
The river in the desert was just an illusion, and the boys remained thirsty.
climatic ... climactic
Climatic refers to weather (like climate).
The change in vegetation was believed to be climatic.
Climactic refers to a climax.
In the climactic final act, the audiences finds out who the killer is.
chose ... choose
Chose is the past tense of choose.
You can choose from any of the items of the menu.
She chose the pasta, but later regretted her decision.
compliment ... complement
When you say something nice about someone, you compliment him or her.
She complimented her teacher to try to improve her grade.
Complement refers to two things that make up for the other's weaknesses.
The girls complement each other, and together they make an excellent team.
elicit ... illicit
When you draw something out you elicit it.
The teacher's question elicited several different answers from the students.
If something is illegal, than it is illicit.
The boy's illicit activities attracted the attention of the police.
imminent ... immanent ... eminent
If something is about to happen it is imminent.
The storm was imminent, so we put the shutters up quickly.
Immanent is used to describe an inherent or intrinsic property.
The beauty of the painting was immanent and was not easily described.
Eminent means famous and respected.
The eminent musician received several prizes last year.
lay ... lie ... laid ... lain
In the present tense, lay takes a direct object, meaning it's something you do to an object, while lie has no object - think of it as something you do to yourself.
Lay the book down on the counter.
I'm going to lie down until the party starts.
Unfortunately, it gets tricky in the past tense, because lay is also the past tense of lie.
She lay down on the floor and started to cry.
The past tense and the past participle of lay is laid.
She laid the plates on the table.
The boy had laid the silverware on the table before she arrived.
The past participle of lie is lain (remember that means it doesn't have an object).
Mary has lain on the floor for most of the day.

Standardizing psychosocial assessment for vascularized composite allotransplantation.
Vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) encompasses hand, face, uterus, penile and lower extremity transplantation. Psychosocial factors are recognized as important, but no standard approach to the evaluation, selection or posttransplant care has been described and thus, the development of a standardized approach is needed. Various psychosocial assessment tools have been reported. Body image and the functional impact of hand versus face transplantation are notable issues. Patients with psychiatric, chemical dependence histories and suicide attempts have been transplanted. Loss of graft or decreased function because of nonadherence has occurred. Screening for depression, social adaptation, coping styles and quality of life (QOL) is common. Although VCA is not a lifesaving procedure, as in solid organ transplantation, the following areas require assessment: psychiatric stability, history of chemical dependence, family support, adherence and understanding of transplantation. VCA requires the incorporation of a visible allograft, lengthy rehabilitation, occupational considerations, prosthetic use, possible screening for posttraumatic stress disorder related to injuries and phantom limb pain. Intense media interest may lead to distress. Development of an instrument to address these areas initially and over time to monitor for changes in QOL and training the psychosocial team is a priority. |
Story highlights Trump team tweets a thank you, and a Twitter spat ensues
The city of New York is spending millions on security at the President-elect's building
(CNN) Trump Tower was briefly evacuated Tuesday afternoon after authorities discovered a suspicious package that was later determined to be a bag of children's toys.
The package was discovered in the lobby of the New York City skyscraper, where President-elect Donald Trump resides. He was in Florida at the time.
A video posted to Twitter by user @cielo_celest showed people dashing by elevators as a police officer swings his arm and yells, "Out! Out!"
New York Police Department Det. Hubert Reyes told CNN that the package was investigated by the department's bomb squad. The Secret Service was involved in the investigation as well, Reyes said.
"Suspicious package at Trump Tower has been examined by NYPD Bomb Squad. Deemed to be an unattended bag and safe," police tweeted. Earlier police spokesman J. Peter Donald tweeted the package was in the lobby. |
The divided mind of a disbeliever: Intuitive beliefs about nature as purposefully created among different groups of non-religious adults.
Do non-religious adults - despite their explicit disavowal of religious beliefs - have a tacit tendency to view nature as purposefully created by some being? This question was explored in three online studies using a speeded judgment procedure, which assessed disbelievers in two different Western cultures (United States and Finland). Despite strong performance on control trials, across all three studies non-religious individuals displayed a default bias to increasingly judge pictures of natural phenomena as "purposefully made by some being" under processing constraints. Personal beliefs in the supernatural agency of nature ("Gaia beliefs") consistently predicted this tendency. However, beliefs in nature as purposefully made by some being persisted even when such secular agency beliefs were controlled. These results suggest that the tendency to view nature as designed is rooted in evolved cognitive biases as well as cultural socialization. |
Q:
How can I switch git branches when there is an untracked file error?
Using SourceTree when I try to switch back to master from a feature branch I created I get an error:
Updating the following directories would lose untracked files in it
I want to switch back to master to make another feature branch but am unable to do so.
A:
Actually figured this out myself. By using the terminal in SourceTree, I entered the following command:
git checkout -f master
The -f flag forces it to switch even if there is an error. It still showed the error before switching but it did switch and I was able to make a new feature branch.

Take a butcher's: Vegan For a Day bus tours hosts James Persson (left) a former butcher, and chef Ginger Scott at Matcha Mylkbar in St Kilda. Credit:Simon Schluter
Just nine months ago, James Persson was working as a butcher, cutting up beef carcasses and packaging lamb chops at a Melbourne supermarket.
Today he is a committed vegan and has vowed to never eat meat again.
While most paths to veganism aren’t quite as dramatic as Mr Persson’s, the phrase ‘‘I’m going vegan’’ is ringing out in households around town.
To quell the panic the declaration often induces, next month he and business partner Ginger Scott will start hosting bus tours called Vegan For a Day. |

Various systems for automatic braking of vehicles are known, where the systems are used in order to avoid or mitigate collisions between a vehicle and other objects, such as other vehicles or obstacles in a road environment.
Many systems are based on a single target approach, i.e., on how much a driver has to brake or steer in order to avoid an object. This is related to the available acceleration in terms of road friction, and may be used to determine when a collision is unavoidable. Ideally, the system only intervenes when the driver needs help.
In systems based on a single target approach, where the threat level for the single most threatening object is evaluated, important aspects may be missed. For example, the combined threat of several objects can be significantly higher than the individual threat of all objects if they are considered separately. For a general traffic situation with multiple objects present, a multi-target threat assessment may be advantageous, but it is difficult to find the required acceleration to avoid a collision.
EP2169500A1 discloses a method of assessing vehicle paths in a road environment including a host vehicle and external objects. The method is including the steps of detecting external objects by a sensor system and generating a plurality of paths passing said external objects. The method of EP2169500A1 describes a search tree method, and uses piecewise constant lateral acceleration for the description of the lateral motion of a vehicle travelling the paths. Although this approximation may be sufficient when used for threat assessment in auto brake systems, it may be insufficient as a base for lateral control of the vehicle since the lateral acceleration cannot change instantly. |

Tom Hardy Talks About His Attraction to Men
What happens when Tom Hardy talks about his attraction to men? He snaps!
Most of us have seen Tom Hardy’s gay(ish) MySpace photos, and his sexuality is constantly in question. But, when a reporter at the Toronto International Film Festival asked Hardy face-to-face, he responded harshly.
In the past Hardy said: “I’ve played with everything and everyone. I love the form and the physicality, but now that I’m in my thirties, it doesn’t do it for me. I’m done experimenting but there’s plenty of stuff in a relationship with another man, especially gay men, that I need in my life.”
When the reporter asked for an explanation for Hardy’s previous comments, he said: “What on earth are you on about?” And, the reporter clarified his question and said, “I’m wondering if you find it difficult for celebrities to talk about their sexuality.” Hardy replied, “I don’t find it difficult for celebrities to talk about their sexuality. Are you asking about my sexuality?”
Shortly after the exchange, Hardy abruptly ended the interview, thanked the reporter and moved on. It sounds like Hardy (like many male celebs) is hiding his sexuality in order to maintain his sexy, macho image. What do you think? |
Expression of poliovirus receptor in human spinal cord and muscle.
Because a prerequisite for infection of a cell with the poliovirus is the presence of poliovirus receptor (PVR), we examined its tissue localization in the human muscle, spinal cord, and muscle cultures using a specific monoclonal antibody against PVR in immunocytochemical studies on serial sections. We found weak expression of PVR in the motor neurons but not the axons. In normal muscle, PVR was expressed at the end plate as confirmed by immunolocalization in serial sections with alpha-bungarotoxin. In neurogenic conditions and in myopathies, PVR was found in occasional denervated muscle fibers and in several regenerating ones. Human myotubes expressed PVR and were susceptible to the poliovirus infection. We conclude that PVR is present at the motor end-plate that can serve as one of the routes of entry of the virus to the motor neurons. The presence of PVR in the regenerating muscle fibers is in accord with clinical observations that muscle injuries can predispose patients to paralytic poliomyelitis. |
Information systems generate vast amounts and wide varieties of machine data such as activity logs, error logs, configuration files, network messages, database records, etc. This machine data can be useful in troubleshooting systems, detecting operation trends, identifying security problems, and measuring system performance. For example, a system administrator can use error logs to determine that a particular component is experiencing a relatively high number of errors and, thus, may have a problem that needs to be addressed.
In the context of IT (information technology) systems, it is desirable for IT specialist to quickly identify any infrastructure components affected by a problem and determine the root cause of the problem. For example, if a particular machine, such as a server, is experiencing problems, the IT specialist will want to know that the problem exists, and the IT specialist will want to identify the particular machine(s) that is causing the problem so that they can focus their efforts on fixing the machine(s). These types of issues can be particularly difficult to diagnose and remedy in complex systems, such as e-mail systems, database systems, or server systems that involve a large number of interrelated processes running on different machines. For example, the Microsoft Exchange™ service (a calendaring software, a mail and contact manager developed by Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Wash.) may employ a number of different component services, or systems, such as Outlook™ RPC, Outlook™ Web Access, ActiveSync™ and so forth, that execute on a variety of different servers. If one of these servers has a problem it can be compounded by the fact that the problem may not manifest itself in an easily detectable manner, and, even if the problem is detected, it can be difficult to identify the source of the problem. Although some systems, such as the Microsoft Exchanger™ service, provide access to performance parameters, such as “counters,” that can provide insight into the health of a system, typically these parameters alone do not provide IT managers with the information they need to effectively diagnose and correct problems within their systems. |

First you launch shinken with both NagiosRetention and PickleRetention modules. It will load data from NagiosRetention and save them in a more “efficient” file. So add in shinken-specififc.cfg file both modules for your scheduler object:
modules NagiosRetention ,PickleRetention
Then you remove the NagiosRetention (it’s a read only module, don’t fear for your nagios retention file) and restart with just PickleRetention. <code>modules PickleRetention |
Q:
Git web development workflow, commit links to minified css and js?
I have read about implementing git hooks to minify css and js source files post-commit (as minified assets shouldn't be committed) but what is the best practice when committing the actual links to these within HTML pages?
The only options I can think of are:
Git commit HTML pages with links to minified source files, but without minified source files in the repository:
<link href="/assets/css/application.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="/assets/js/application.min.js"></script>
Git commit HTML pages with links to the development source files and change to minified once deployed:
<link href="/assets/css/application.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="/assets/js/application.js"></script>
I am sure there is a simple and effective workflow to achieve this that I am unaware of. Many thanks in advance!
A:
I have decided on the route of committing links to minified source files within HTML pages, but without minified source files in the repository. This means that I am relying on an intermediate tool (such as CodeKit) to automatically minify source files for me as I work on the development versions but it is a workflow that is working well for me so far.

Q:
When can I call a function in C as a system call
In C programming language, fopen(), open() I can use both for file operations.
is fopen() is a system call or not? if no why?
is open() is a system call or not? if yes why?
A:
General Information
A system call is basically an interface of your application to the OS kernel.
System calls are usually wrapped by the wrapper function provided by the platform's standard library.
Sometimes the system call name and the wrapper function names are same, sometimes they are not.
Usually, the wrapper functions provided by the standard library provides some extra feature and/or sanity checking/ error checking for the underlying system call.
system calls are the bare minimum calls that is passed to the kernel, which executes in kernel-mode and returns the required result to the user-space application.
For each kernel versions, there are defined set of system calls available and are usually represented by a number associated with each call. Ready referecnce : arch/i386/kernel/entry.S file (look for sys_call_table)
OTOH, the library functions, provided by standard [or non-standard] libraries are simple APIs which are used to provide access to various functions , including system calls in a bit easy way for the developer. These are used to hide some complex parts, provide some additional checks, some error handling and finally calls the internal function, mostly underlying system calls.
Answer to your question
open() is a system call.
fopen() is a wrapper provided by the standard library [linux glibc, for example].
Check more details in syscalls manual page.

Q:
friendly_id / content_url without scope
class Content < ActiveRecord::Base
has_friendly_id :title, :use_slug => true
end
How I can make a link like /about-us instead of /contents/about-us ?
Should I modify the content_url method , or is there a better approach ?
A:
I have just done this for a site I'm working on.
Its actually a matter of specifying the correct routes.
As your model is called Content, I presume you have already mapped Content as a resource like this (in your routes.rb):
map.resources :content
This will handle urls like:
http://example.com/content/my-special-content-page
To handle urls like:
http://example.com/my-special-content-page
you simply need to map the routes like this:
map.content '/:id', :controller => 'content', :action => 'show'
Note:
Routes work from top to bottom, so you'll need to put this below most things. Especially the:
map.root :controller => "welcome"
If you put your new route above this, you'll end up with an error because it will attempt call the Controller.show action with an :id of nil.
You'll also need to ensure wherever you are generating urls in your views you'll need to use this new route like this:
= link_to "My Special Page", content_path(@content)

The streptavidin/biotin complex involves one of the strongest non-covalent interactions observed in biology, and is an ideal model system for the study of high-affinity protein/ligand interactions. Analysis of high- resolution crystal structures for the streptavidin/biotin complex reveals numerous favorable protein-ligand contacts characteristic of a tightly bound complex. However, our extensive structural and thermodynamic characterization of numerous streptavidin mutants strongly suggests that direct protein-ligand contacts cannot fully explain the extremely tight biotin binding. Our previous studies also suggest that biotin follows a well defined reaction coordinate during ligand binding and dissociation reactions, and that certain mutations can alter the activation energy barrier for the binding/dissociation reactions, without any significant effect on the equilibrium structure. These results lead us to propose that streptavidin equilibrium dynamics, or structural fluctuations, help determine the equilibrium binding energy and activation energy barrier. We will test this hypothesis by performing molecular dynamics simulations and detailed crystallographic analyses of anisotropic temperature factors for wild-type and selected mutant streptavidin/biotin complexes, and then look for correlations between structural fluctuations and calorimetric measurements in wild-type versus mutant complexes. Our previous results also suggest that specific water molecules play a key energetic role in the biotin binding/dissociation reactions. We will use molecular dynamics simulations to test this proposal by further characterizing water interactions in the streptavidin binding site. We will use these simulation results to suggest mutations that can alter the equilibrium water behavior in the complex, and thus modulate the ligand binding free energy and/or activation energy. These studies will enhance our understanding of high-affinity protein/ligand binding interactions, and will help us elucidate important concepts that should be useful in structure-based ligand design projects. Such information will be helpful in rational drug design applications for therapeutically important protein targets. [unreadable] [unreadable] [unreadable] |

The rest of the cast that has so far been announced includes Hayley Atwell as Agent Peggy Carter, James D’Arcy as Edwin Jarvis, Chad Michael Murray as Agent Jack Thompson, Enver Gjokaj as Agent Daniel Sousa, Lyndsy Fonseca as Angie Martinelli, Shea Whigham as Chief Roger Dooley and Dominic Cooper as Howard Stark. |
Branching, segmentation and the metapterygial axis: pattern versus process in the vertebrate limb.
Explanations of the patterns of vertebrate fin and limb evolution are improving as specific hypotheses based on molecular and developmental data are proposed and tested. Comparative analyses of gene expression patterns and functions in developing limbs, and morphological patterns in embryonic, adult and fossil limbs point to digit specification as a key developmental innovation associated with the origin of tetrapods. Digit development during the fin-to-limb transition involved sustained proximodistal outgrowth and a new phase of Hox gene expression in the distal fin bud. These patterning changes in the distal limb have been explained by the linked concepts of the metapterygial axis and the digital arch. These have been proposed to account for the generation of limb pattern by sequential branching and segmentation of precartilagenous elements along the proximodistal axis of the limb. While these ideas have been very fruitful, they have become increasingly difficult to reconcile with experimental and comparative studies of fin and limb development. Here we argue that limb development does not involve a branching mechanism, and reassess the concept of a metapterygial axis in limb development and evolution. |

The present invention relates to a method of monitoring a plurality of automatic delivery selling machines each provided with a transmitter releasable in response to a predetermined operational condition and/or interference in the machine.
Most of interferences in automatic selling machines result from burglary attempts and similar unauthorized manipulations. The latter interferences and also others caused by the malfunctions in the machine itself, result in a complete or partial inactivation of the selling machine. So far such interferences can be removed only after relatively long-time interval, namely when the manager of the machines has received a message about the malfunction from a customer or during an examination, for example, during the regular reloading of articles in the selling machines. Since during this relatively long time period between recognition of the malfunction and its removal the selling machine remains out of operation, a considerable operational loss will occur.
In order to render burglary attempts and similar unauthorized manipulations more difficult, the automatic selling machines are equipped with transmitters which, when released switch on an acoustic alarm for example. Nevertheless, the manager or police are notified about the alarm only in the case when other persons response to the alarm by a telephone call. When the selling machines are situated at out of the way locations or if the alarm is activated at night, no notification is frequently received.
A general practice is to store in the selling machine a relatively low supply of articles in order to prevent a too long stay of the articles in the machine and also to reduce the inventory of articles in stock. On the other hand, it is desirable that the selling machines be continuously supplied with a sufficient amount of the various articles, for example, of different sorts of cigarettes in order to avoid disappointment of users of the machines when an article, for example a desired brand of cigarettes is no longer available. In view of these considerations, a frequent checkup of all active selling machines for the purpose of their timely refilling is necessary. Evidently, the expenditures for maintaining the requisite personnel and organization are considerable. |
Q:
Qt QFileDialog - native dialogs only with static functions?
I'm trying to simply save a file. However, I need a filename entered without a suffix to automatically get a default suffix (which setDefaultSuffix() does).
I'd rather not completely lose the native save dialog just for this. exec() is not overloaded from QDialog, so it totally bypasses the native hook (ignoring the DontUseNativeDialog option even if it's false).
If I disable the file overwrite warning and append the default suffix myself after the function returns, then I'd be re-opening the dialog if the user did not want to overwrite... and that's just ugly.
Is there some signal I can catch and quickly inject the default suffix if it's not there? I'm guessing not, since it's a native dialog.
Is there something I'm doing wrong with the filter? I only have one filter choice. It should use that extension.
This seems pretty lame. Launching the save dialog and simply typing "test" should never result in an extensionless file. "test.", yes. "test" no way. That'll really confuse the users when they hit Load and can't see the file they just saved.
I guess the cross-platform part of Qt is giving me lowest common denominator file dialog functionality?
A:
Yes, if you look at the Qt source code it is evident that only the static functions uses native file dialogs. It is not possible to get native dialogs any other way, unfortunately...

Movie-goers at the King of Prussia Regal Cinemas in Pennsylvania were expecting to see Brad Pitt on the big screen for a pre-screening of "World War Z," but they never expected the actor would actually walk into the theater.
"The door swung open, he walked in and the place just exploded," said Marisa Magnatta, from the Preston and Steve Morning Show, who there for the excitement.
She says there was extra security in the theater and people were curious what was happening.
After his surprise entrance, Pitt thanked fans for coming to see his movie and talked about a local favorite. "I just crushed a cheesesteak next door," said Pitt. "It really is the perfect sandwich."
Pitt surprised fans in two different theaters at the Regal in King of Prussia before the screening of his zombie flick, which he describes as "the most intense thing you'll see all summer." |

Limitations of the entomological operational risk assessment using probabilistic and deterministic analyses.
The Entomological Operational Risk Assessment (EORA) is used by the U.S. military to estimate risks posed by arthropod-vectored pathogens that produce human diseases. Our analysis demonstrated that the EORA matrix is formatted so that a small change in probability results in a discontinuous jump in risk. In addition, we show the overlap of different risk categories with respect to their probability of occurrence. Our results reveal that the fundamental mathematical problems associated with the EORA process may not provide estimates that are better than random chance. To ameliorate many of the problems associated with the EORA, we suggest more robust methods for performing qualitative and semiquantitative risk assessments when it is difficult to obtain the probability that an adverse event will occur and when the knowledge of experts can aid the process. |

Q:
How should I write SQLite queries?
When writing queries to Database in SQLite should I write them like this:
String query = "SELECT Items.ItemName, Items.ItemId, Items.Checked FROM Lists JOIN Items ON Lists.Id = Items.IdList WHERE Lists.Name=?";
or like this:
String query = "SELECT " + TABLE_ITEMS + "." + ITEM_NAME + ", " + TABLE_ITEMS + "." + ITEM_ID + ", " + TABLE_ITEMS
+ "." + ITEM_CHECKED + " FROM " + TABLE_LISTS + " JOIN " + TABLE_ITEMS + " ON " + TABLE_LISTS
+ "." + LIST_ID + "=" + TABLE_ITEMS + "." + ITEM_ID_LIST_FOREIGN_KEY + " WHERE " + TABLE_LISTS + "." + LIST_NAME + "=?";
Are there any principles on what should I use?
A:
I prefer the first option. Yes, if you want to change a field/table name, you'll have a lot of replacing, but...
If you decide to write raw queries instead of using ORM, then replacing is always inevitable.

M. tuberculosis is a natural mutant in the putative central regulator of oxidative stress response, oxyR. All M. tuberculosis strains investigated to date have nearly identical lesions in oxyR, and the elimination of oxyR function may have coincided with or directly participated in the evolution of M. tuberculosis into the potent contemporary human pathogen. The loss of oxyR has a dual significance for M. tuberculosis pathogenesis and treatment of tuberculosis. First, this surprising phenomenon reflects the complexity of host-parasite interactions and its continuing analyses are expected to reveal strategies used by M. tuberculosis for survival in the host. Second, the loss of oxyR and the associated dysfunction of oxidative stress responses most likely contribute to the exceptional sensitivity of M. tuberculosis to isonicotinic acid hydrazide (INH). The goals of this proposal are: (i) to delineate the effects of the loss of oxyR on M. tuberculosis response to reactive oxygen and nitrogen intermediates. This will be accomplished by identifying genes and functions affected by the loss of oxyR, analyzing alternative modes of their regulation, and characterizing M. tuberculosis response to reactive oxygen and nitrogen; (ii) to determine whether and how oxyR inactivation and the resulting dysfunction of oxidative stress responses contribute to the exceptional sensitivity of M. tuberculosis to INH. This will be examined by complementation of the defect in M. tuberculosis using a functional mycobacterial oxyR, by inactivation of oxyR in model mycobacteria, and by determination of the effects that such modifications have on INH sensitivity in vitro and in vivo; (iii) to investigate the role of the loss of oxyR in M. tuberculosis virulence and pathogenesis using mouse bone marrow derived macrophages and human monocytes, and models of tuberculosis in mice and guinea pigs. In addition to conventional analyses of M. tuberculosis survival and histopathology, GFP-based technologies developed in the PI's laboratory will be employed to monitor mycobacterial localization, and potential tissue- and infection stage-specific expression of oxidative stress response genes (e.g. ahpC). These experiments will delineate the effects that the loss of oxyR has on host-pathogen interactions in tuberculosis. The proposed studies are expected to improve understanding of the elusive virulence attributes of M. tuberculosis, and may help explain, at least in part, its high sensitivity to the front-line antituberculosis agent INH. |

Mechanisms of Specific Embryonic Effects of Nitrogen Oxide.
The study of NO metabolism in chicken embryos showed that the intensity of oxidation of both endogenous and exogenous for the embryo NO donors to nitrate is determined by the presence or state of NO targets, rather than donor concentration. The mechanism of this oxidation and its physiological role are discussed. It was also shown that oxidation product nitrate is actively eliminated from the amnionic sac. |

Q:
How to convert PDF to PDF/A in Java
In Java, I would like to be able to read in a PDF file, test whether it is PDF/A (PDF for Archiving) compliant, and if not, then convert the file to PDF/A.
I might prefer this in Apache PDFBox because I've been doing a few things in that API already, but I'd be open to other APIs as well.
A:
Test whether a PDF file is PDF/A-1b can be done with PDFBox preflight, see example here or use the preflight-app.
Creating a tool to convert a file from PDF to PDF/A is a difficult task that would take months, possibly years. If you look at the source code of PDFBox preflight, you'll find hundreds of error messages. So your tool would have to be able fix each of these errors. Some are:
non embedded font
use of color without output intent
improper meta data
JBIG2 encoded image
LZW encoded data
Just check a few of your own files with PDFBox preflight, and you'll see a wide variety of problems...
If you don't have months or years, visit the homepages of Callas Software GmbH or PDF Tools AG to buy such a converter.

Q:
Changing location of mysql database
Im running a linux server and I wondering if and how could I change the contents of Mysql server to be saved on an external hardrive instead of the place where it is being stored now.
A:
The exact method depends on whether you're using MyISAM or InnoDB tables.
For MyISAM, each database is a directory with the tables, formats, indexes, etc. inside. All these directories are typically in the /var/lib/mysql/ dir. To put in a different volume, you can either change the datadir configuration option or alternatively make /var/lib/mysql/ the mountpoint of that new volume.
For InnoDB, the default is to use a single file in the same /var/lib/mysql/ directory; so mounting a new volume there would work too. Again, a configuration variable can be used to change the exact location, if you want to put all your volumes somewhere else.
Also, InnoDB can use a whole partition or block device as a datastore, skipping the filesystem. In most cases, the supposed speed gains are negligible, so it's usually not advised unless you already have a good volume management environment.
Finally, if you already have some data that you want to move, the easiest is to simply copy the whole /var/lib/mysql/ directory after shutting the mysqld process down and before directing it there.

Onclick not working - Javascript
I've been trying to get this images onclick to work but has not succeeded, I have tried looking up different ways to do it and this seems to be popular and also the setAttribute, neither works and I can't figure out why. Do you see if I make a mistake somewhere?
function renderMessage(theMessage){
var text = document.createTextNode(theMessage.getText());
var time = document.createTextNode(theMessage.getDate());
var div = document.getElementById("writeMessages");
div.appendChild(text);
div.innerHTML += " ";
div.appendChild(time);
// Bilden
var image = document.createElement('img');
image.src = 'img/deletePic.png';
image.onclick = function(){
alert("click");
console.log("hej");
};
div.appendChild(image);
div.innerHTML += "<br />";
}
A:
This line:
div.innerHTML += "<br />";
means:
div.innerHTML = div.innerHTML + "<br />";
BUT whenever you do this:
div.innerHTML = ...
you are replacing the contents of that div with some new piece of HTML, which doesn't have the event handlers you assigned.
Try replacing that line with:
div.appendChild(document.createElement('br'));
The same goes with the other += you do between text and time.

Recombinant cholera toxin B subunit acts as an adjuvant for the mucosal and systemic responses of mice to mucosally co-administered bovine serum albumin.
We examined the mucosal adjuvant activity of recombinant cholera toxin B subunit (rCTB) produced by Bacillus brevis carrying pNU212-CTB by intranasal or oral co-administration of bovine serum albumin (BSA). Intranasal administration stimulated a high level of BSA-specific serum IgG antibody response and BSA-specific IgA antibody responses in the nasal and pulmonary lavages. Oral administration induced a moderate level of BSA-specific serum IgG antibody and a low level of BSA-specific IgA antibody in the large intestinal washes. These results show that CTB alone can act as an intranasal or oral delivery carrier; it also has strong adjuvant properties for stimulating serum IgG and mucosal IgA immune responses to unrelated, non-coupled antigens after intranasal or oral co-immunization. |
Effect of bradykinin on airway function.
Bradykinin (BK) has several effects on airway function which may be relevant in obstructive airways disease. These effects are mediated via B2-receptors. BK is a potent bronchoconstrictor in animals and humans in vivo. Bradykinin contracts airway smooth muscle, is a potent bronchial vasodilator, increases microvascular leakage, stimulates epithelial cells to release bronchodilators and stimulates mucus secretion. Perhaps its most important action is the activation of sensory nerves in airways, leading to reflex bronchoconstriction, coughing and neurogenic inflammation through the release of neuropeptides from sensory nerves. |
Q:
Translation of "take your time"
In English, when making a polite request, it's common to say "take your time" (to tell the other person there's no need to rush). What is the most natural translation of this into Spanish? Is this phrase as common in Spanish as in English, or are there other ways to express the same thought (telling someone not to rush and worry about something you've requested of them)?
A:
Almost literal, and natural, is:
Tómate tu tiempo (or, with 'usted' treatment: "Tómese su tiempo")
Even more natural, for me (I'm from Argentina) :
"No hay apuro"
"Sin apuro"
(no need to hurry)

Fish
Armenia has many fresh water lakes and rivers that are full of different types of beautiful and tasty fish. Sevan Trout, for example, is the endemic fish of the lake. Other most commun fish are Common Whitefish, Goldfish, Crayfish, Barbel, Koghak.
Throughout centuries Lake Sevan was one of the most loved destinations of kings and queens traveling through Armenia. During their stay they would treat themselves with a delicacy called the Armenian Trout. Back then professional cooks would boil, fry, grill and fill it with different types of goods.
During all those years the recipe has been perfected and now you can try them in the restaurants on Sevan lakeshore or many other restaurants in Armenia. There are several varieties and methods of preparation that will satisfy even the pickiest gourmet.
Armenians went a step further and created artificial ponds to grow the fish in larger amounts. Nowadays Armenian fish growers export the fish to Russia and other countries. These fish are not grown in Lake Sevan, however, they mostly use the same water, therefore the fish keeps the unique flavor that you are looking for. You can buy different types of fish grown in Armenia in your country, simply ask for it and chances are you may be tasting the favorite dish of ancient kings and queens.
Armenians use fish as a religious meal during major religious events. It is obligatory for Armenians and other Christians to have fish on table on Christmas and Easter. There is a special way of making it. |

Q:
How to develop regression tests for a calculation engine
I'm on a team developing a financial information web app. We haven't written many automated tests for it yet, so we've decided to add regression tests to the most critical parts of our program. I'm very new to automated testing, though, so I'm not entirely sure how I should go about writing the tests.
This post is long, so here's the tl;dr question: How can I write a regression test that checks to see if certain calculation is working? I don't just want to test the calculation, though - I also want to know if any of the components the calculation depends on to give it its inputs break. I don't need to know which component broke in particular, just that something's not working. What approach should I use?
This is our situation: We developed the app using a layered architecture, like this:
Views
|
V
Logic Managers <--> Financial Calculation Engines
|
V
Data Accessors
|
V
Database
We've determined that the calculation engines are the parts of our program that most need to have a regression test suite. These components contain the calculations and algorithms that we use to process raw financial data into useful results. Their corresponding Managers use them by calling their public methods, which accept raw financial data as parameters. When the engine methods return, they send back an object that contains processed financial results. The managers, meanwhile, get the raw financial data from the data accessors, which in turn get data from the database.
We decided we want to know as soon as a financial calculation "breaks" so that we know the bug is somewhere in whichever pieces of the program have been touched since the last run of the tests. This would let us use continuous testing to protect us from having the engines producing wrong results and having no idea where to look.
When we thought about what this means, we realized that adding a unit test to each of the engines isn't enough. Let's say, for example, that an erroneous change to the data accessors means that they start pulling the wrong data. This data would then be sent up through the manager to the engine, which would produce the wrong results. However, the engine's algorithms themselves would still be working perfectly, so the unit test would still pass. This means that when we noticed the wrong numbers being generated, we would have no way of knowing when the bug was introduced, making it more difficult to track down and fix.
Instead, we would like to make regression tests that are able to pick up as soon as a bug appears anywhere that would cause the final results the engines output to be incorrect, even if the problem is that the wrong data is sent to the engines and not that the engines themselves have issues. When these tests fail, they wouldn't tell us where the problem is, but if we're continuously testing, we'll know as soon as a bug is checked in and have a small set of changes to look through to fix it.
So that's what we want to do. Unfortunately, we don't know how to create these tests. What approaches or patterns are useful for writing these types of regression tests?
A:
Just a hint: you should check every part of the Financial Calculations Engine with the same inputs every time, and the objects returned should be identical every time.
Test separately the Data Accessors, with the same logic: same input, same output.
To do so, you need to mock some parts of the system (eg. mock the data accessors to always return the same set of data).
Having separate unit tests fore each part also locates the bug with more precision.
A couple of links to get into the idea:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-mocktest/index.html
http://www.slideshare.net/joewilson123/unit-testing-and-mocking
There are a lot of mocking frameworks around that can help you code the tests, like Mockito for Java projects.

Phase transition and critical dynamics in site-diluted Josephson-junction arrays.
Measurements of the IV characteristics of site-diluted Josephson-junction arrays have revealed intriguing effects of percolative disorder on the phase transition and the vortex dynamics in a two-dimensional XY system. Different from other types of phase transitions, the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition was eliminated with the introduction of percolative disorder far below the percolation threshold. Even after the Kosterlitz-Thouless order had been removed, the system remained superconducting at low temperatures by establishing a different type of order. Near the percolation threshold, evidence was found that, as a consequence of the underlying fractal structure, the critical dynamics of the phase degrees of freedom persisted down to zero temperature. |
OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of estrogen on the pathway from the nucleus retroambiguus (NRA) to the lumbosacral cord. To determine the effects of estrogen on the pathway from the nucleus retroambiguus (NRA) to the lumbosacral cord, in six ovariectomized female rhesus monkeys wheat-germ agglutinin horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP) injections were made into the NRA. Three of the animals were estrogen treated, the remaining three served as controls. The density of the anterograde projection was determined in the motoneuronal cell groups that have previously been shown to receive distinct projections from the NRA axial, abdominal and pelvic floor. At the ultrastructural level, WGA-HRP-labeled terminal profiles in these motoneuronal cell groups were analyzed and growth cones were identified. The results showed that the density of the NRA-lumbosacral motoneuronal projection in estrous monkeys is slightly higher than in controls. At the ultrastructural level, WGA-HRP-labeled growth cones were found in estrous monkeys. The presence of growth cones in the NRA-lumbosacral pathway in estrous females strongly sug gests that estrogen induces axonal outgrowth in this pathway. FUTURE DIRECTIONS The differences in the density of the NRA-lumbosacral projection need to be quantified, and the tissue of non-estrogen treated ovariectomized females needs to be further analyzed at the ultrastructural level.
