Summer Camp Essentials
By, Hugh Haller
Parents have to make decisions that will affect their children’s lives for years to come every day. From what school to send them to, to something more basic like what to serve at mealtime, the choices are endless and they only multiply, as kids get older.
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
One decision that can be a difficult one to make is sending kids to summer activities including summer camp. Parents have to worry about camp reputation, if it encompasses activities that interest their children and most importantly if the experience will help children grow and learn new skills.
Match Age with Activity – Look for a camp that will challenge your child as he or she grows and that offers varying levels of activities. Children can start off as campers, they can learn new skills as they get older and eventually take on a leadership role as a camp counselor.
Stretch Boundaries – A camp that offers summer activities that pique your child’s interest should be considered when researching options, but avoid choosing a camp that does not give your child a chance to try new things and learn. A well-balanced camp experience should be a top priority, one where children have the freedom to do what they enjoy and the chance to branch outside of their comfort zone.
Disconnect from Technology – It is a well-known fact that children spend too much time staring at screens today. Many summer camps do not allow children to bring cell phones or have access to computers and video games while at camp. While at first children can feel isolated, by the end of camp they will have had free time to enjoy nature, discover them selves and make new friends without the influence of technology. Not only that but they are able to enjoy fun summer activities to the fullest with no distractions. |
GAP junctional channel inhibition alters actin organization and calcium propagation in rat cultured astrocytes.
Astrocytes are connected by gap junctions, which provide intercellular pathways that allow a direct exchange of ions and small metabolites including second messengers and the propagation of electric currents. The roles of gap junctional communication on whole-cell morphology, cytoskeletal organization, and intercellular communication in astrocytes are not yet clear even in vitro, though there are many studies that have examined the active relation between gap junctions and actin filaments in astrocytes. Here we examined the effects of gap junction inhibitors, which do not interrupt the formation but rather the function of gap junctions, on whole-cell morphology, cytoskeletal organization, and intercellular communication in rat cultured astrocytes. Functional blockade of gap junctions during the formation of an astrocytic monolayer resulted in discordance of actin stress fibers between neighboring cells, even though whole-cell morphology of these cells did not change by such treatment. Mechanical stimulation-induced calcium wave propagation was significantly reduced in these actin-discordance cells even after thorough wash out. Differentiation of astrocytes in the presence of gap junction inhibitors was associated with morphological disarrangement among neighboring cells due to disordered alignment of actin stress fibers between cells.Our results indicate that gap junctional communication enables cell-to-cell coordination of actin stress fibers in astrocytes, thus enhancing intercellular communication through calcium spread. |
Q:
Java Collections static method min
Can someone please explain this rather cryptic method signature from the Collections class?
public static <T extends Object & Comparable<? super T>>
T min(Collection<? extends T> coll)
Thank you!
A:
Type "T" is an Object and implements the "Comparable" interface; the min method returns an object of type T and takes a Collection of T as input.

[The stability of vitamin C in powdered mixes for beverages].
Factors influencing vitamin C stability in powder mixtures for beverages were studied and the main ways of its decomposition in products preserved in glass containers or paper packages covered with polymeric film were established. The phenomenon of vitamin C self-stabilization has been observed. |
Mapping of catalytic residues in the RNA polymerase active center.
When the Mg2+ ion in the catalytic center of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (RNAP) is replaced with Fe2+, hydroxyl radicals are generated. In the promoter complex, such radicals cleave template DNA near the transcription start site, whereas the beta' subunit is cleaved at a conserved motif NADFDGD (Asn-Ala-Asp-Phe-Asp-Gly-Asp). Substitution of the three aspartate residues with alanine creates a dominant lethal mutation. The mutant RNAP is catalytically inactive but can bind promoters and form an open complex. The mutant fails to support Fe2+-induced cleavage of DNA or protein. Thus, the NAD-FDGD motif is involved in chelation of the active center Mg2+. |

The basic idea is to be able to record a series of transactions and replay them, with the expectation that identical results will be obtained and that this identity is easily proven automatically. This "proof" may be a comparison of database before and after, or a comparison of logging records, or both. Whatever it is, it should be automated and restartable.

Why decouple the UI from the core application logic? Such layering gives us the ability to drive the application via an API, the interface to core logic without involving the UI. The API, if well designed, opens up the possibility of simple automated testing, bypassing the UI completely. Additionally, this decoupling leads to a superior design.

In particular, if we build a GUI layer cleanly separated from the rest of our system then the interface beneath the GUI can be an appropriate point in which to inject the record/replay mechanism. If the benefits of having such a mechanism are seen as important, then this need could influence the design of this interface such that the implementation and use becomes very economical. The record/replay can be implemented via a simple serial file. I have seen a relational database used for capture and replay! The reason? Because it comes complete with analysis tools, allowing editing, reporting, analysing, and all the other bells and whistles that you find useful once you have them. As typically we are simulating user input with the record/replay mechanism (but not necessarily) there is not usually a need for very high performance, but if you want it, you can build it.

Compared with the shifty equivocation of Cameron and his Tory claque, who only have to open their mouths for lies to issue forth, Münkler is at least refreshingly honest. He eschews the idea of giving more power to the people. This, in his book, is not the answer to the myriad problems currently facing the European Union. Rather, the EU's elites need to improve - and power has to be taken away from the periphery.
In theory, this man is right. Empires also start decaying at the edges, but they only do so when the centre is weak. Münkler argues that it is the elites at the centre which are holding the European Union together, and for the EU to survive, the centre must be strengthened. Pushing for the democratisation of Europe can quickly lead to European disintegration, as the conditions for democracy in the EU do not exist. Not least, he says, the European population has never been and still is not a European people.
He then goes on to say that the main problem of a constituted Europe is that power triggers centrifugal forces the minute the glow of economic prosperity begins to fade. A political and economic player that requires growth and cannot handle disturbances is not fit to survive in the 21st century. Such an actor is a problem and not the solution.
Thus, he says, the current crisis must be viewed as an appeal to transform Europe in such a way that it will produce better elites and give these elites more latitude to take action. This amounts to an amendment of the Lisbon Treaty, and it encompasses the painful thought that a smaller but more effective Europe is better than a larger Europe whose citizens view it with sullen indifference at best.
His observations on the effect of "democratisation" is equally candid. The elites in Brussels and Strasbourg will still be in charge and the only option available to the European people, "to the extent that they can be referred to as such", would be to react to obvious failure by voting their leaders out of office - and to vote an opposing elite to take their place.
Reflecting exactly the dilemma that affects us here in the UK, he notes that it is open to question as to whether this would fundamentally change anything. As the example of Belgium shows, "democracy does not automatically lead to the installation of capable elites".
Since last summer's elections, Belgium's political parties have been unable to form a functioning new government. Belgium's democracy suffers from ethnic quotas and political parcelling. It has long been incapable of reaching the most basic decisions. And, now, not even compromises are feasible.
It is to be feared that a more extensive democratisation of "Europe" would lead to a very similar situation because Europe is at least as diverse as Belgium on national and economic issues.
As to how we develop the "more capable elites" that Münkler thinks are so necessary, he is remarkably opaque. What he tells us is that the general framework of elite behaviour - the European constitution, so to speak – must be "substantially restructured".
This is very much in the territory of "the solution is simple – something must be done". But if we probe deeper into the Münkler text, all we get is the stark but repeated observation that "the periphery has too much power and the centre too little". The key step, therefore, is a political reconstitution of Europe.
Somehow, despite coming from a political scientist, this does not immediately strike one as a winning hand. Coming from a German, it sounds more like he has been dusting off his copy of Mein Kampf - it is a complete non-starter. But that still doesn't make the man wrong. What it does say is that, since the very thing he says must happen cannot happen, the EU is doomed to failure. It is only a matter of time. |

Q:
oracle regex replace (keep only a-z)
I have data in last_name column.
This data comes from online and at times users are copy pasting the last name from a word document. This is a problem when a last name has a single quote. Somehow the single quote from a word document is weird.
I want to write an oracle regex replace in my select query such a way that it replaces everything in the last_name column but just keeps (a-z or A-Z).
Is this doable?
A:
finally I went with this:
REGEXP_REPLACE(mbr_last_name,'[^a-zA-Z'']','') replaced_last_name
I'm keeping a to z A to Z and a single quote

[Pregnancy and delivery in western Africa. Towards a lower risk motherhood?].
The maternal mortality ratio is the health indicator displaying the greatest disparity between industrialized and developing countries. Medical causes have been better known since a decade ago but the non medical causes must be studied to develop appropriate strategies. Socio-economic causes play an important role but the poor performances of the maternal health services are directly responsible for the great majority of the deaths. The lack of qualified personnel, the poor management of those who are qualified, the misallocation of the rare resources, the poor relationships between health personnels and their clients, the shortages of supplies, essential drugs and blood lead to a poor quality of care to pregnant women. The Safe Motherhood Initiative has led to the development of simple but efficient strategies which would allow to dramatically reduce maternal and neonatal mortality as well as handicaps. This requires a political commitment of the governments of West Africa but, in spite of the strong advocacy of major donor agencies and international organizations, programs have yet to be implemented. |
Q:
What is first called - interceptor or authenticator? OkHttp, Retrofit
As I read from docs, OkHttp uses lists to track interceptors, and interceptors are called in order.
But what is first being called a list of interceptors or an authenticator?
A:
Reading the source, the authenticator is called by RetryAndFollowUpInterceptor that is added to the call's interceptor list after the client's interceptors. So, client interceptors are invoked first.

Structure determination through homology modelling and torsion-angle simulated annealing: application to a polysaccharide deacetylase from Bacillus cereus.
The structure of BC0361, a polysaccharide deacetylase from Bacillus cereus, has been determined using an unconventional molecular-replacement procedure. Tens of putative models of the C-terminal domain of the protein were constructed using a multitude of homology-modelling algorithms, and these were tested for the presence of signal in molecular-replacement calculations. Of these, only the model calculated by the SAM-T08 server gave a consistent and convincing solution, but the resulting model was too inaccurate to allow phase determination to proceed to completion. The application of slow-cooling torsion-angle simulated annealing (started from a very high temperature) drastically improved this initial model to the point of allowing phasing through cycles of model building and refinement to be initiated. The structure of the protein is presented with emphasis on the presence of a C(α)-modified proline at its active site, which was modelled as an α-hydroxy-L-proline. |

Expression Analysis Systematic Explorer (EASE) analysis reveals differential gene expression in permanent and transient focal stroke rat models.
To gain greater insight on the molecular mechanisms that underlie ischemic stroke, we compared gene expression profiles in transient (tMCAO) and permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) stroke models using Expression Analysis Systematic Explorer (EASE) pathway analysis software. Many transcripts were induced in both stroke models, including genes associated with transcriptional pathways, cell death, stress responses and metabolism. However, EASE analysis of the regulated genes indicated molecular functions and biological processes unique to each model. Pathways associated with tMCAO included inflammation, apoptosis and cell cycle, while pMCAO was associated with the induction of genes encoding neurotransmitter receptors, ion channels, growth factors and signaling molecules. An intriguing finding was the involvement of tyrosine kinases and phosphatases following pMCAO. These results provide evidence that neuronal death following tMCAO and pMCAO involves distinct mechanisms. These findings may give new insight to the molecular mechanisms involved in stroke and may lead to novel neuroprotective strategies. |
Q:
Editing Access forms while other people are using
Is there any workaround people are aware of to edit Access forms while the database is in use by someone else on the network?
Solved(?): Think I figured this out. I guess I didn't fully understand how a split database worked yet. I'm going to split the database, hide the backend in my own folder. The front end will be on the share drive for anyone to use. I can make as many copies of the front end as I want, as they'll all be linked to the tables in the backend location. I can edit the structure of the front end whenver I want and just replace the one in the share drive for people to access.
A:
You are going to want to create a split end database. That way you can work on your copy while others are still able to use the database. You can find information about it in the following link: https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/Split-an-Access-database-3015ad18-a3a1-4e9c-a7f3-51b1d73498cc
If you already have a split database than simply just work on your own master copy and send out the updated version to whomever will be using it.

The Catholic Church’s Diocese of Knoxville, in Tennessee, has settled a sex abuse lawsuit brought by a former altar boy for an undisclosed amount.
Michael Boyd, the alleged victim, sued the church earlier this year, saying longtime priest Xavier Mankel took advantage of him as a child and offered him up to other clergymen. Boyd’s lawsuit also said he was abused by Bishop Anthony O’Connell, who founded the diocese.
The notice of settlement provides almost no details about what both sides agreed to.
The settlement means the July suit bought by attorneys for Michael Boyd of Blount County will not proceed in Knox County Circuit Court. The terms and amount of the financial settlement were not disclosed in a seven-paragraph announcement issued today by the diocese. The diocese and church officials also admit no wrongdoing in the settlement. The money paid to Boyd will be covered by the diocese’s insurance and won’t impact its budget or charity work. “The diocese has throughout denied the validity of the claim. However, the diocese also recognizes that further pursuing this matter through the legal system would be time-consuming, costly, and detrimental to its mission of service,” the statement issued by diocese’s spokesman Jim Wogan read in part.
This is fairly standard language for basically every confidential settlement in which the party accused of wrongdoing negotiates terms that include no admission of wrongdoing. It’s possible the Church is just throwing money at the problem so that it will go away.
The Church still maintains the allegations are bunk.
In its announcement, the diocese characterized the settlement as “an act of pastoral outreach.” “Despite my personal feelings regarding the claim which names two now-deceased priests, I hope that this action offers Mr. Boyd a path to peace and reconciliation,” Bishop Richard F. Stika said.
Without details, we can’t really speculate on what the thinking was from either side. We do know, however, that Boyd claimed he had “severe psychological injuries” and “emotional harm” associated with the alleged abuse. Money won’t fix that. But it may be the closest thing to justice some victims will ever get.

Q:
Has something changed in caching data in ASP.NET-MVC3?
I need an application level cache in my MVC3 project.
I want to use something like this in a controller:
using System.Web.Caching;
protected IMyStuff GetStuff(string stuffkey)
{
var ret = Cache[stuffkey];
if (ret == null)
{
ret = LoadStuffFromDB(stuffkey);
Cache[stuffkey] = ret;
}
return (IMyStuff)ret;
}
This fails because Cache["foo"] don't compile as "System.Web.Caching.Cache is a 'type' but used like a 'variable'".
I see that Cache is a class, but there are quite a few examples on the net when it is used like Session["asdf"] in the controller like it is a property.
What am I doing wrong?
A:
There is a property named Session in controller but there is no property named Cache.
You should use HttpRuntime.Cache static property in order to get Cache object.
For example:
using System.Web.Caching;
protected IMyStuff GetStuff(string stuffkey)
{
var ret = HttpRuntime.Cache[stuffkey];
if (ret == null)
{
ret = LoadStuffFromDB(stuffkey);
HttpRuntime.Cache[stuffkey] = ret;
}
return (IMyStuff)ret;

Q:
Two way binding in render function in Vuejs
I'm building an application in Vuejs where I'm creating a render function for input fields. I'm emitting an input event to bind with v-model. I can see values are getting assigned while I assign/insert any values, but when I assign the other way i.e. assigning any value to v-model for input fields it shows empty or it shows the placeholder values if it is available
Here is my code:
createElement('input', {
class: 'form-control m-input',
attrs: { type: this.type, placeholder: this.placeholder },
on: {
input: (event) => {
this.$emit('input', event.target.value)
}
}
})
In props I have:
props: {
label: String,
type: String,
placeholder: String,
},
and while declaring components I do:
<nits-input
label="Email"
type="email"
placeholder="Enter your email"
v-model="email"
>
</nits-input>
In data I'm trying to assign the values:
data() {
return {
email: 'test@example.com',
}
},
How can I achieve assigning values to v-model and displaying it inside the respective fields. Help me out with this. Thanks.
A:
v-model is really just shorthand for having a value prop and emitting an input event.
So in addition to your existing props, you need to add a value one:
props: {
label: String,
type: String,
placeholder: String,
value: String
},

Technology-dependent children and their families: a review.
Advances in medical technology and nursing care have enabled children who rely on long-term medical and technical support to reunite with their families and community. The impact of discharging these children into the community involves a number of unprecedented social implications that warrant policy consideration. To begin with, an effort must be made to understand the phenomenon of caring for technology-dependent children living at home. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive literature review on caring for technology-dependent children living at home. The review was conducted via keyword searches using various electronic databases. These included CINAHL, MEDLINE, Social Science Index, Sociological Abstracts, Australian Family and Society Abstracts, and the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The articles and books found were examined for commonality and difference, significant themes were extracted, and the strength of the research methods and subsequent evidence were critiqued. In this paper, themes relating to home care for technology-dependent children and their families are elucidated and summarized. These are: chronic illness and children; the impact of paediatric home care on children; the uniqueness of technology-dependent children and their families; and parents' experience of paediatric home care. Contentious issues, relevant to the social life of these children and their families, are raised and are discussed with the intention of extending awareness and provoking further debate among key stakeholders. These issues include: the changed meaning of home; family dynamics; social isolation; saving costs for whom?; shifts in responsibility; and parent-professional relationships.

A Palliative Approach to Falls in Advanced Dementia.
Falls are viewed as a preventable cause of injury, functional loss, and death in older adults with dementia, and have been used as a marker of quality of care in long-term care facilities. Despite intensive intervention around fall prevention in these settings, falls and injury remain frequent, particularly among residents in the advanced stages of dementia. In this clinical review, we consider the common challenges and pitfalls in both the management of falls and the provision of palliative care in advanced dementia. We then describe a palliative approach to falls in advanced dementia that involves identifying individuals who would benefit from this care approach, framing falls and loss of mobility as a quality of life issue, and devising an individualized symptom assessment and management plan. A palliative approach can lead to recognition and acceptance that recurrent falls are often symptomatic of advanced dementia, and that not all falls are preventable. We conclude that falls in the advanced stage of dementia can be sentinel events indicating the need for a palliative approach to care. Rather than replace falls prevention activities, a palliative approach to falls prompts us to select dementia stage-appropriate interventions with a focus on symptom management, comfort, and dignity. |
[Lens platform].
The lens platform defines lens structure and lens material. Evolution of lens comprises change in their shape, angulation of haptens and transition of three-piece lens into one-piece lens. The lens fall into two categories: rigid (PMMA) and soft (siliconic, acrylic, colameric). The main lens maaterials are polymers (hydrophilic and hydrophobic). The lens platform has an effect on biocompatibility, bioadhesion, stability of lens in capsule, degree of PCO evolution and sensitiveness to laser damages. |

This invention arose out of needs and concerns in the semiconductor processing industry regarding accurate determination of liquid volume in semiconductor processing fluid containers. The invention will, however, have other applications and is limited only by the accompanying claims.
The production of integrated circuitry in semiconductor wafers typically utilizes processing equipment in which various types of processing liquids are used to treat wafers and other substrates. The liquid utilized in such equipment is typically pumped from bottles or other containers into a processing area of the equipment where one or more substrates are received. Such liquids are typically provided to the processing area in precise volumes. One way of determining the volume of liquid supplied to a processor would be to precisely measure the deceasing volume of fluid within the respective containers resulting from operation of fluid delivery pumps. It further is desirable to monitor the volume of liquid within the various liquid containers to determine when such containers need to be refilled with more processing liquid.
In accordance with aspects of this invention, liquid level and change of liquid level within such containers is monitored or determined by acoustic reflection off the liquid level surface in the containers. |
Lovecraftian amounts of darkness tendrils from cute turtle drawing cloak, sea turtle and puffer fish. And staring straight on, twist the bottles to make the fish shape. You can fill the bottle with hot water — pour the mixture into bottle caps and let them dry overnight. Compared to the old proposed model, paint the fish with water color paint or other paint and let it dry.
That is why I will be teaching you guys “how to draw a turtle for kids”; if there is any animal drawing you like here please give a comment in the contact page. Let’s draw an eight, she is still adorable to draw.

Interpretation of nonlinear QSAR models applied to Ames mutagenicity data.
A method for local interpretation of QSAR models is presented and applied to an Ames mutagenicity data set. In the work presented, local interpretation of Support Vector Machine and Random Forest models is achieved by retrieving the variable corresponding to the largest component of the decision-function gradient at any point in the model. This contribution to the model is the variable that is regarded as having the most importance at that particular point in the model. The method described has been verified using two sets of simulated data and Ames mutagenicity data. This work indicates that it is possible to interpret nonlinear machine-learning methods. Comparison to an interpretable linear method is also presented. |
Muscle dystrophy single point mutation in the 2B segment of lamin A does not affect the mechanical properties at the dimer level.
Lamin intermediate filaments at the inner nuclear membrane play a key role in mechanosensation and gene regulation processes, and further guarantee the mechanical stability of the cell's nucleus. The rod-like dimers are the elementary building blocks within the dense lamina meshwork, mainly consisting of four alpha-helical coiled-coil segments as fundamental building blocks. Several mutations in the 2B segment of the rod domain of lamin A have been linked to the disease muscle dystrophy. In these diseases, the cell nuclei have been shown to feature abnormalities in the shape and its mechanical properties, leading to torn nuclear envelopes or bleb formation. However, up to now the origin of these mechanical changes remains unknown, in particular whether or not the mutations in the rod domain influence the mechanical properties of individual dimers, or if the changes are due to effects at larger hierarchical scales. Here we report a series of large-scale molecular dynamics studies of lamin A dimer segments, systematically comparing the mechanical behavior of the wild-type protein structure and a missense mutated protein structure with the point mutation p.Glu358Lys. Our results show that the nanomechanical tensile behavior of the dimer segment does not vary under presence of this mutation, suggesting that this single point mutation in muscle dystrophy does not affect the mechanical properties of lamin at the dimer level, but probably influences higher hierarchical scales. |
Key factors bring researchers from all over to Stockholm University
Stockholm University attracts many top-quality researchers from around the world. Here our international faculty outlines why they chose Stockholm University as their work place and home.
World-leading research
Every scholar interviewed mentioned the high level of research at Stockholm University. Gerda Neyer, an Austrian demographer, was keen on working with the Demography Unit. It’s one of the leading centres in social demography in Europe—and the world,” she said. When she was offered a position at the Stockholm University Linnaeus Center on Social Policy and Family dynamics in Europe, (SPaDE), she couldn’t refuse.
Jonathan Kuyper, a political science post-doctoral researcher from Australia, also agrees. Although Stockholm University is not the biggest, the quality of the research is exceptionally high. “I’ve spent time at world-leading places like Princeton and Oxford. The Political Science Department here at Stockholm University might not match these places in terms of size, but the research being done is just as impressive.”
Collegiality and egalitarianism
Ernest Chi Fru, a Cameroonian geomicrobiologist, was first attracted to Stockholm by the facilities and the focused and inspiring research. He grew to love the friendly environment. “Swedish society is built on equality for all and frowns on cut-throat competition, which has several benefits of empowering everyone and bringing out their worth.” He describes the university as a “really excellent employer,” the staff as “nice,” the administrators as “very helpful,” and his department head as “very supportive”.
Internationally connected, firmly rooted
Patricia Shaughnessy, an Associate Professor in International Procedural Law from Hawaii, also fell in love with the possibilities offered by the university, even if it took some getting used to. “I was surprised when I first come that everyone at the university is on a first-name basis. But people here… are friendly and non-hierarchical. They’re hospitable and unpretentious. I appreciate that.” She also raved about the impressive access to libraries and databases and how helpful the librarians are in locating difficult resources. “I can sit in Stockholm and do the same research I could do in New York.”
The best part? Stockholm
“We have academic independence and freedom of thought. I’m engaged with the Swedish business and legal community in this beautiful city, and I can contribute to my field on an international level…. I have an opportunity to both teach students in an area I find exciting, and to engage in the local and international community. What more could I want?” |

Q:
Does Tor work with WebRTC?
WebRTC is yet another technology that has the possibility to change the face of the web, but is it supported in Tor ?
Searching the tor-dev mailing, there is this thread on the WebRTC but it is unclear if there is official enduser support, or even if realtime communications are even viable given the latency introduced by the anonymizing process.
A:
Tor Browser is built without WebRTC support, since WebRTC can be used to circumvent Tor's proxy settings via ICE over UDP.
In Firefox, WebRTC support is controlled by media.peerconnection.enabled preference, and it's set to false by default in Tor Browser. But, even enabling this preference would not turn WebRTC on, since the Firefox binary does not contain the functionality.

Q:
using the result of a program called from Perl
I want to use and manipulate the result of a program I call from Perl:
system (zgrep "failed at" $in_fname);
I want to take the lines made by zgrep manipulate them and then write the manipulated lines to a new file.
how do I do it?
A:
system does not return the results but the external program exit status.
You must capture the result with the ` operator (backquote):
my $var = `zgrep "failed at" $in_fname`;
A:
You can also use Perl's open statement. Just add a pipe (|) at the end. See: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlipc.html#Using-open()-for-IPC
use warnings;
use strict;
open my $zgreph, 'zgrep "failed at" $in_fname |'
or die "can't fork: $!";
while (my $data = <$zgreph>) {
print $data;
}
close $zgreph
or die "error closing: $! $?";
This might be a better approach, because you get the data as it comes, rather than all at once. At least if you set the predefined variable $| (autoflush). See http://www.ira.cnr.it/manuals/perl/manual/pod/perlvar.html for predefined variables.

Just be careful forum. It starts off as fun then gains traction and can do damage.
Not saying some 'facts' exist but the framing of the discussion and continual misrepresentation will damage the brand.
Brian
It's our job to differentiate the facts, stated in any Review, Public Forum, or Blog. If you start to control what you want said, then the freedom of expression will be tainted. Not good, leave well enough alone and let us as members or frequent guests sort out the facts.
When I find a place that I converse in and it's controlled or there are too many Forum Nazi'z, I'm pretty much done with it because now it's lost it's freedom of speech and trust.
WOW! Nazi! Really!
LOL

We are not surprised that you fail to understand.
I some wise person said that whoever uses the "Nazi-card" first usually looses the argument.

The effects of EMG feedback training during problem solving: a case study.
The present case study investigated the effects of competing task demands on biofeedback training to reduce frontalis muscle tension. Baseline levels of frontalis muscle tension were recorded for relaxation and problem solving. The subject was trained to decrease muscle tension with biofeedback for the problem-solving task alone. The results indicated that EMG training during problem-solving was successfully accomplished. Frontalis muscle tension during relaxation baseline did not change as a result of reductions in muscle tension during problem-solving feedback training. This suggests that the decrease of muscle tension cannot be attributed to reductions in overall muscle tension levels. Instead, training was specific to the problem-solving feedback phases. Additionally, it was found that accuracy in problem-solving did not decline as a result of simultaneous feedback training. Thus EMG biofeedback training can be accomplished and exercised without disruption of ongoing mental activity. |
Q:
Is it possible to call a function ONLY on the first run?
I am developing an app using Telerik's Nativescript. I would like to know whether it's possible to call a function the first time the app is ran, but not for each consecutive run.
My first thoughts were to ship a one line text file with the content false. On the first run I would check this file and get the value. If it were false I'd run the function and then update the text file content to true, otherwise I'd let the app continue as normal.
I think there must be a better, more efficient way to do this. Any ideas folks?
A:
I've no idea why you're getting a all these browser technology answers but as you're using NativeScript you most probably want to take a look at the Application Settings module.
A value set with Application Settings will persist for as long as the app is installed on the device. If the user is re-installing the app it'll (of course) be reset.
It's as easy as:
var appSettings = require("application-settings");
if(!appSettings.getBoolean("hasRunned", false)) {
// Do the stuff you want to do on first run
// and then set it to true
appSettings.setBoolean("hasRunned", true);
}

Cypress: The Oil of Motion & Flow
Cypress essential oil is one of my favorite oils. It has a herbaceous, fresh, slightly woody scent. I find it to be one of the more masculine aromas, and extremely grounding.
This is the oil you would go to for moving a stuck or slow-moving healing process forward. Its strong ability to help a person release stagnant energies, almost in a purge-like fashion, traumas and rigid or perfectionistic tendencies. Watch out because Cypress will require you to work hard on your heart and on your mind to emerge a more flexible, flowing with life being.
As we learn how to let go, we allow things to unfold naturally and we trust the process of life, enjoying it. This is why Cypress is powerful in that it will help a person struggling with loss, the need to control, tension and mental stiffness.
While it’s a strong oil to use emotionally, it’s totally worth it. Trapped emotions might be rough to deal with, but it’s better than ignoring them.
Cypress’s properties reflect its spiritual influence. Eliminating what is stagnant opens us up to spiritual harmony.
So Cypress will support us not only to accept the changes we need to make, but also, to distinguish what changes are best for us (and our own spiritual growth).
By the way, any of the oils that are from trees (Cedarwood, Frankincense, etc.) will provide stabilisation, grounding and security to our being, physically and emotionally. This is why I have a deep love for tree oils and they are what I gravitate to right away when I am feeling worried, stuck in my growth path or tense.
Don’t Have This Oil?
Usage Tips
Use with caution during pregnancy. Always test for skin sensitivity prior to widespread use and use on the feet when possible. Excessive use of any oil can lead to skin sensitization. Keep out of eyes, ears, or nose. Not all oils are created equal, so test brands carefully, and never use an oil in a way not recommended by its maker.

It's Time: Make Leftover Candy Bar Brownies
Now that Halloween is over, it's time to start thinking about all of the ways to
use your leftover candy. (For the record, we've been known to stash extra candy just to have as leftovers come November.) You could pass it out to coworkers or stockpile it to bring to movies, but we recommend revamping it, perhaps as
Leftover Candy Bar Brownies. First, make a simple brownie batter, then add your favorite chopped chocolate candy — peanut butter, nougat, mint or caramel are all fair game. A gleaming layer of velveteen, thick chocolate ganache takes these over the top. Spread a thick layer of it over the top of the brownies, sprinkle with additional leftover chopped candies, like chocolate-covered peanuts or pretzels, and then revel in the candy-coated baked goodness. Happy Day-After Halloween!
For more ways to turn your excess Halloween candy into scarily good desserts, take a peek at these recipes from Cooking Channel: |

The thermodynamics of charge transfer in DNA photolyase: using thermodynamic integration calculations to analyse the kinetics of electron transfer reactions.
DNA Photolyases are light sensitive oxidoreductases present in many organisms that participate in the repair of photodamaged DNA. They are capable of electron transfer between a bound cofactor and a chain of tryptophan amino acid residues. Due to their unique mechanism and important function, photolyases have been subject to intense study in recent times, with both experimental and computational efforts. In this work, we present a novel application of classical molecular dynamics based free energy calculations, combined with quantum mechanical computations, to biomolecular charge transfer. Our approach allows for the determination of all reaction parameters in Marcus' theory of charge transport. We were able to calculate the free energy profile for the movement of a positive charge along protein sidechains involved in the biomolecule's function as well as charge-transfer rates that are in good agreement with experimental results. Our approach to simulate charge-transfer reactions explicitly includes the influence of protein flexibility and solvent dynamics on charge-transfer energetics. As applied here to a biomolecular system of considerable scientific interest, we believe the method to be easily adaptable to the study of charge-transfer phenomena in biochemistry and other fields. |

Alabama Fan Can’t Resist Sneaking in a ‘Roll Tide’ While Getting Arrested on Live TV
While getting cuffed by the cops on the A&E show Live PD, a man in Walton County, Fla. made sure to let everyone in America know where his allegiance lies when he asked if he was on live TV and then declared, "Roll Tide" before saying hi to his mom, who surely must be beaming with pride, knowing her son not only got arrested for the whole country to watch, but made sure to let all the viewers know nothing will stop his love for Alabama.
This guy loves 'Bama so much, but we're going to guess that 'Bama doesn't love him so much in return. It's not like Nick Saban is making the drive from Tuscaloosa to bail this knucklehead out of jail.
You get the feeling this fella doesn't realize how ridiculous his actions are, do you. And when the gravity of the fact that he was hauled off jail finally does hit him, you can bet he'll find the silver crimson lining in the fact it didn't happen during the season, so he won't miss any games. |
Chronic pelvic pain.
Chronic pelvic pain in women may involve more than the gynecologic organ systems. Urologic, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal and psychiatric disease processes may be contributing factors, the majority of which can be treated medically. A thorough history and physical examination are often all that is necessary to initiate effective treatment. A multidisciplinary approach to management will recognize the interactive process of the biopsychosocial model that may act to produce chronic pelvic pain. |
Computational intelligence in bioinformatics: SNP/haplotype data in genetic association study for common diseases.
Comprehensive evaluation of common genetic variations through association of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) structure with common complex disease in the genome-wide scale is currently a hot area in human genome research due to the recent development of the Human Genome Project and HapMap Project. Computational science, which includes computational intelligence (CI), has recently become the third method of scientific enquiry besides theory and experimentation. There have been fast growing interests in developing and applying CI in disease mapping using SNP and haplotype data. Some of the recent studies have demonstrated the promise and importance of CI for common complex diseases in genomic association study using SNP/haplotype data, especially for tackling challenges, such as gene-gene and gene-environment interactions, and the notorious "curse of dimensionality" problem. This review provides coverage of recent developments of CI approaches for complex diseases in genetic association study with SNP/haplotype data. |

This discussion is believed to be helpful in providing the reader with background information to facilitate a better understanding of the various aspects of the present disclosure. Accordingly, it should be understood that these statements are to be read in this light, and not as admissions of prior art.
A seismic survey includes generating an image or map of a subsurface region of the Earth by sending sound energy down into the ground and recording the reflected sound energy that returns from the geological layers within the subsurface region. During a seismic survey, an energy source is placed at various locations on or above the surface region of the Earth, which may include hydrocarbon deposits. Each time the source is activated, the source generates a seismic (e.g., sound wave) signal that travels downward through the Earth, is reflected, and, upon its return, is recorded using one or more receivers disposed on or above the subsurface region of the Earth. The seismic data recorded by the receivers may then be used to create an image or profile of the corresponding subsurface region.
Over time, as hydrocarbons are being extracted from the subsurface region of the Earth, the location, saturation, and other characteristics of the hydrocarbon reservoir and (e.g., overburden) within the subsurface region may change. As such, it may be useful to determine how the image or map of the subsurface region changes over time, such that the operations related to extracting the hydrocarbons may be modified to more efficiently extract the hydrocarbons from the subsurface region of the Earth. |

Q:
In which thread are iOS completion handler blocks called?
For example, in GKScore's reportScoreWithCompletionHandler (documentation), suppose you call
[score reportScoreWithCompletionHandler:^(NSError *error) {
// do some stuff that may be thread-unsafe
}];
In which thread will the completion handler be called: the main thread, the same thread as reportScoreWithCompletionHandler was called, or a different thread (presumably the thread that the actual score reporting is done)?
In other words, does the work done in the completion handler need to be thread-safe (as in, it doesn't matter what thread it's done in)?
A:
In practical terms it doesn't matter.
If you need your completion to run in the main thread, just dispatch it to the main thread:
[score reportScoreWithCompletionHandler:^(NSError *error) {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
// do your stuff here
});
}];

Q:
jQuery spectrum color picker
I am using jquery spectrum color picker. Is there a way to get spectrum selector within the change event?
If I apply spectrum to multiple elements by class (hap-ch), can I get active selector instance?
<input id="playerBgColor" class="hap-ch">
<input id="playerBgColor2" class="hap-ch">
<input id="playerBgColor3" class="hap-ch">
$(".hap-ch").spectrum({
change: function(color) {
//how to get playerBgColor id here?
},
});
I know I can apply spectrum individually like this:
$("#playerBgColor ").spectrum({
change: function(color) {
},
});
But I wanted to know if I can reuse this code for multiple spectrums like in first example.
A:
Well I just played around and yea, you can make use of $(this) within change, which will refer to current input element.
$(".hap-ch").spectrum({
change: function(color) {
alert($(this).attr('id')); //there you get the id
},
});

In the spring there is often a great interest in setting up and planting beautiful flower gardens that are going to provide the family with lovely floral arrangements and outdoor attractions throughout the growing season. In addition flowers in the yard, garden and patio add to the wildlife in your outdoor space as butterflies, colorful insects and even hummingbirds are all likely to drop by for a visit. [...]
Dogs are much more fortunate that humans when it comes to natural defenses against mosquitoes and other types of biting insects. Their coat, even if it is only short, acts as a natural barrier between the insect and the dog's skin. Dogs with very thick, heavy double coats are largely very protected from mosquitoes and biting insects, however the areas that are exposed such as the lower abdomen, the nose and even the eyes and lips can all be stung and bit, resulting in severe reactions in some dogs.

With the exception of the American Cocker Spaniel, most of the spaniel breeds have been able to avoid the huge surge in popularity that often leads to health and genetic issues within a particular breed or line. Unfortunately for the American Cocker Spaniel they have been a very popular breed, leading to a significant number of puppies produced every year by backyard breeders and puppy mills that are only into breeding for a profit, not for the enhancement or overall health of the puppies that they produce. This massive number of poorly bred American Cockers has caused some increased health issues within the breed, so choosing a puppy from a reputable breeder is essential. [...]
As with most of the hound group, the Basenji tends to be a very healthy breed of dog provided they are giving regular exercise, routine vet visits and fed a high quality food that meets all nutritional requirements. Breeders of this very unique type of dog have worked to prevent any genetic conditions from becoming highly problematic, but as with any breed there are a few issues that potential owners need to be aware of. [...]
There are several different types of animal nutritionists, many who specialize in agricultural animals or exotic species, but the most common type of animal nutritionists is one that works in developing commercial types of pet foods. These specialized experts in dog nutrition are hired by private dog food manufacturers, research groups, agricultural feed companies and of course by private owners that are concerned about their dog's specific nutritional requirements.

Like humans, dogs can develop a variety of different types of respiratory problems, many which become more pronounced over the winter months. This can be attributed to a variety of factors but often includes increased dust in the air and dryer air in the house, both factors caused by forced air and electric heating systems. In addition simply spending more time in the house rather than outside can cause dogs with airborne allergies to have more health issues, especially if the allergy is to something that is within the home.

Attentional control settings prevent abrupt onsets from capturing visual spatial attention.
When a visual distractor appears earlier than a visual target in a target-detection task, response time is faster if the distractor appears at the same location as the target. When a visual distractor appears concurrently with a visual target in a target-detection task, response time is slowed relative to when no distractor is presented. Both effects have been taken as evidence of the capture of visual spatial attention, yet capture by early distractors is contingent on top-down attentional control settings (ACSs), and capture by concurrent distractors is not. The present study evaluated whether this incongruity is attributable to the timing of distractors (earlier than vs. concurrently with the target), or to the employed comparisons (same location/different location vs. distractor/no distractor). Using a task that presented both early and concurrent distractors, we observed that, regardless of timing, capture was contingent on ACSs when assessed by the same-location/different-location comparison. This result suggests that, although irrelevant stimuli cause nonspatial purely stimulus-driven effects, the capture of visual spatial attention is contingent on ACSs. |

Synopsis
by Mark Deming
A man finds himself living among the animals and enchanted spirits of the rainforest, and learns of the true consequences of human destruction in this animated adventure. Crysta (voice of Samantha Mathis) is a young fairy who is being tutored in the powers of magic by the older and wiser Magi (voice of Grace Zabriskie) in an Amazon rain forest. While their home was once on the verge of destruction thanks to the evil spirit Hexxus (voice of Tim Curry), the demon has been trapped inside a tree, and Crysta is free to play with her friends Batty Koda (voice of Robin Williams), a bat who escaped from an animal testing facility, and Pips (voice of Christian Slater), who has obvious romantic intentions toward the attractive young sprite. However, a clear-cutting crew destroys the tranquil peace of the rainforest, and when Crysta sees a runaway logging machine about to run over lumberjack Zak (voice of Jonathan Ward), she saves his life by shrinking him to her own size. However, Crysta isn't able to bring Zak back to his normal size, so he's forced to live among the forest creatures and learn first-hand the devastation the humans have brought to this world -- especially when the loggers accidentally free Hexxus from captivity. |
Complement activation: a critical mediator of adverse fetal outcomes in placental malaria?
Malaria infection is a significant risk factor for low birth weight outcomes in pregnancy. Despite efforts to define the molecular mechanisms that cause low birth weight as a result of intrauterine growth restriction, the roles of inflammation and mononuclear cells in the process are incompletely understood. Data from adverse pregnancy outcomes in humans and from murine models of pathological pregnancies suggest that C5a could be an important upstream regulator of placental angiogenesis, and excessive C5a could lead to functional placental insufficiency by impairing adequate vascularization of the placenta. Based on recent evidence, we hypothesize that complement factor C5a is a central initiator of poor birth outcomes associated with placental malaria by promoting mononuclear cell migration, activation and dysregulated angiogenesis. |
The objectives are to better understand the electronic structures and behavior of prototype organic molecules and aggregates of molecules. This includes the development of unique spectroscopic methods for probing the important details of molecular and aggregate structure. Such methods will involve ultra high-resolution ultraviolet spectroscopy of crystals and other aggregates of nitrogen and oxygen containing unsaturated hydrocarbons in high magnetic fields, high electric fields, and under controlled stress. In addition the dynamical aspects of excitations and of electrons in organic aggregates are to be further investigated. Our intention is to study fundamental processes in molecules and in the organic solid state in order to expose properties and behavior that are important in widely occurring systems including living systems of great complexity. |
Some hours ago I have been saying I found outrageous the behaviour of the US about the Chinese dissedent who want to go to exile himself. Now I read too that Barroso does not speak to the press afer meeting a Chinese diplomat because that is what China wants. So China is dictating what Europe and the US are doing! The democracies of Europe and the US are acting according to the dictatorship of China. |
As we explored the different styles of homeschooling, we decided on a classical approach. One of the cornerstones of the classical curriculum is learning Latin. I’ve never taken a Latin class, so I was a bit worried about how I was going to teach a subject without any experience! How We Teach Latin in Our […]
Back in the beginning of the school year, I busied myself with preparing for our classical preschool at home. I was delighted to get started with a formal program with Maeve. I collected all of the books we’d need, and started reviewing the lesson plans from Memoria Press. Memoria Press created a beautiful, classical preschool […]
We’re heading into our fifth year of homeschooling, using Memoria Press from the very beginning. Initially, I experimented with a few other things (All About Reading, Five in a Row), but have finally realized that Memoria Press has everything our family needs. When you take a look at Memoria Press’ core curriculum, it’s easy to […]
When we first contemplated homeschooling, I was a bit overwhelmed by the gigantic amount of resources available. I often tell my friends, it’s not finding something to use for homeschooling, but narrowing it down. I could have pieced things together, using free things I found online, but I really wanted a pre-packaged curriculum, to make […] |

Caring in nursing education: reducing anxiety in the clinical setting.
It has been well-documented that the clinical experience is one of the most anxiety-producing aspects of nursing education. When feelings of anxiety become severe, they present a clear threat to the student's success in the program. This article explores the role of "caring" in nursing education as a means of reducing student anxiety. Caring, described at length by Jean Watson, has become one of the most popular trends in the education of young nurses. When caring behaviors are demonstrated in a meaningful way by clinical instructors, the student may experience a sense of comfort and belonging, which may in turn be effective in reducing anxiety and enabling the student to successfully complete a clinical rotation. The aim of this article is to inspire nurses, not only those in the educational setting but in all settings and at all levels of their careers, to reconsider the effects and benefits of displaying a caring attitude. |
Q:
JQuery: Input field: select all input on focus
Right now on focus the input field simply hides the clear search button. What do I need to add on the focus event to highlight the value in the input field so when a user clicks on the input field the text already in there from the previous search is selected?
$('input.query').on('focus',function(){
$("#searchx").hide();
});
$('input.query').on('blur',function(){
$("#searchx").show();
});
A:
If you are concerned about cross browser functionality this will work better,
$(document).ready(function() {
$("input.query")
.focus(function () {
$("#searchx").hide();
$(this).select();
}).mouseup(function (e) {e.preventDefault(); });

Two dead dolphins 'forgot to breathe after taking heroin substitute following zoo's weekend-long rave'
Shadow and Chelmers died within five days of each other at Connyland in Switzerland
Bosses at the park had rented land near the dolphins' training pool to rave organisers
Two dolphins who died a slow, agonising death at a zoo after it hosted a rave were probably killed by a party-goer's heroin substitute, according to a leaked toxicology report.
The dolphins, called Shadow and Chelmers, died within five days of each other at a zoo in Switzerland last November.
Bosses at the park had rented land near the dolphins' training pool to organisers of a weekend rave party for thousands of clubbers.
Slow and painful death: A toxicology report concluded that Shadow was probably killed by a party-goer's heroin substitute
Before the party: Shadow had been one of the star attractions at the Connyland zoo in Switzerland
Prosecutors said at the time that they were considering negligence charges because they believed antibiotics given by zoo vets were to blame for the deaths at Connyland in Lipperswil.
But another toxicology report carried out at the time, leaked to Swiss media, has raised new questions about what happened.
Tests conducted by the forensics institute in St Gallen found the heroin substitute Buprenorphin in the animals' urine.
Dutch marine biologist and dolphin expert Cornelis van Elk said: 'Opiates are extremely dangerous for underwater mammals and would never be used in any legitimate treatment.
'The reason is that dolphins are conscious breathers which means they actively decide when to come to the surface to breathe, for which they need to be awake.
'Even when sleeping, there is part of the brain that automatically controls the breathing instinct in the same way as it does for people when asleep.
'Drugging them with opiates could well cause this part of the brain to switch off with fatal consequences.'
Putting on a show: Bosses at the park had rented land near the dolphins' training pool to organisers of a weekend rave party for thousands of clubbers
It was originally suggested by keepers that rave-goers could have caused the death by feeding the dolphins illegal recreational drugs but prosecutors had rejected this, blaming the zoo's vets.
Connyland spokesman Erich Brandenberger said it would ask questions about why the initial theory had not been followed up and why the zoo's vets had been blamed.
Shadow and Chelmers died after what staff described as a 'drawn out and painful' death.
Connyland keeper Nadja Gasser told local media: 'The death went on for over an hour.
'It was horrendous. I have not been able to sleep since.
'When we went to start the dolphin training we noticed the same thing that had happened to Shadow was happening with Chelmers.
Investigation: Prosecutors initially considered negligence charges because they believed antibiotics given by the zoo's vets were to blame for the deaths
'He was drifting under the water and was clearly in trouble and so we jumped into the water.
'We tried to hold him. He was shaking all over and was foaming at the mouth.
'Eventually we got him out of the water. His tongue was hanging out. He could hardly breathe.
'He was given adrenalin, but it didn't help.
'After an hour the dolphin died. '
Questions: Bosses at Connyland want to know why the zoo's vets were blamed for the deaths of Shadow and Chelmers
Furious animal activists say they warned both the marine park and local planners - who gave permission for the rave - of the dangers before the event.
They had been concerned that the high levels of noise could damage the marine mammals' immune system, sensitive sonar and hearing. |
Budd-Chiari syndrome with long segmental inferior vena cava obstruction: treatment with thrombolysis, angioplasty, and intravascular stents.
The authors describe a patient with Budd-Chiari syndrome caused by long segmental thrombotic obstruction of the inferior vena cava associated with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. The patient was successfully treated with a combination of local thrombolytic therapy, balloon angioplasty, and placement of Gianturco expandable metallic stents. |
Auditory perceptual category formation does not require perceptual warping.
Categorical perception occurs when a perceiver's stimulus classifications affect their ability to make fine perceptual discriminations and is the most intensively studied form of category learning. On the basis of categorical perception studies, it has been proposed that category learning proceeds by the deformation of an initially homogeneous perceptual space ("perceptual warping"), so that stimuli within the same category are perceived as more similar to each other (more difficult to tell apart) than stimuli that are the same physical distance apart but that belong to different categories. Here, we present a significant counterexample in which robust category learning occurs without these differential perceptual space deformations. Two artificial categories were defined along the dimension of pitch for a perceptually unfamiliar, multidimensional class of sounds. A group of participants (selected on the basis of their listening abilities) were trained to sort sounds into these two arbitrary categories. Category formation, verified empirically, was accompanied by a heightened sensitivity along the entire pitch range, as indicated by changes in an EEG index of implicit perceptual distance (mismatch negativity), with no significant resemblance to the local perceptual deformations predicted by categorical perception. This demonstrates that robust categories can be initially formed within a continuous perceptual dimension without perceptual warping. We suggest that perceptual category formation is a flexible, multistage process sequentially combining different types of learning mechanisms rather than a single process with a universal set of behavioral and neural correlates. |
URA Chairman Dritan Abazovic has sent an open letter to Ambassadors of the European Union (EU), Embassy of the United Kingdom, the United States and the OSCE due to, as it is stated, “obvious electoral irregularities in the early elections in Mojkovac, Petnjica, Tuzi and Cetinje “.
Abazovic states in his letter that citizens’ security have been violated during recent local elections.
“This was not the case before, but now we witnessed to attempts of murdering the deputy, attacks to their property, throwing the tear gas on the candidates for the party members, the attacks on the voters at the polls and hospitalizing of the injured in the health facilities at Cetinje and the Clinical Center of Montenegro”, states Abazovic, who submitted to the embassies “extensive material confirming these abuses”,
This material has been handed over to the competent institutions – the Constitutional Court, the Supreme State Prosecutor’s Office, the State Election Commission and the municipal election commissions, it is stated in the letter.
“Perhaps the most visible example of abuse and electoral defeat is the ballot papers from which it is clearly seen that ‘authorities’ got support through the coercion. If the voting is done by geometric figures which are not a circle, it is clear that such a mechanism is used to control those citizens who have previously been blackmailed or received money in exchange for support for DPS or one of its satellites. It should be emphasized that no list on which voters voted for the opposition had such symbols, geometric bodies and other methods of marking, which is a clear indicator that the government has influenced the freely expressed electoral will of citizens, “Abazovic quoted in the letter. |
Russell Westbrook has been the most entertaining athlete in American sport
Russell Westbrook said good-bye Friday with an Instagram post.
It was classy and poignant, moving and inspiring. You know, some of the things Westbrook would forget to be from time to time on the court or in the interview room.
But that’s OK. That just means Westbrook wasn’t perfect.
He was something better. Westbrook was authentic. Authentic and awesome. |
Scientists at the University of Waterloo in Canada report that a new family of molecules that kill cancer cells while protecting healthy cells could be used to treat a number of different cancers, including cervical, breast, ovarian, and lung tumors. Their study (“In Vitro and In Vivo Studies of Non-Platinum-Based Halogenated Compounds as Potent Antitumor Agents for Natural Targeted Chemotherapy of Cancers”), published in EbioMedicine, shows that as well as targeting and killing cancer cells, the molecules generate a protective effect against toxic chemicals in healthy cells.
Cells can become cancerous when their DNA is damaged. Many different things can cause DNA damage, including smoking, chemicals, and radiation; understanding exactly what happens at the point of DNA damage can help scientists develop new cancer treatments. By studying this mechanism, the researchers could identify new molecules that selectively target cancer cells.
The team studied the process of DNA damage using femtosecond time-resolved laser spectroscopy. The technique is like a high-speed camera, which uses two pulses of light: one to start a reaction, and the other to monitor the way the molecules react. This technique let researchers watch how molecules interact in real-time, revealing how cells become cancerous.
Scientists have been using femtosecond laser spectroscopy to study biological molecules for decades, in fields called femtochemistry and femtobiology. More recently, this technique was fused with molecular biology and cell biology methods to advance the understanding of human diseases, notably cancer, and how therapies work. This potential new field is being dubbed femtomedicine (FMD).
“We know DNA damage is the initial and crucial step in the development of cancer,” said Qing-Bin Lu, Ph.D., lead author of the study. “With the FMD approach we can go back to the very beginning to find out what causes DNA damage in the first place, then mutation, then cancer. FMD is promising as an efficient, economical and rational approach for discovering new drugs, as it can save resources required to synthesize and screen a large library of compounds.”
Taking advantage of the FMD approach, Dr. Lu and colleagues discovered a new family of molecules called nonplatinum-based halogenated molecules (FMD compounds). These are similar to cisplatin, which is used to treat ovarian, testicular, lung, brain, and other cancers. However, while cisplatin is highly toxic, the new FMD compounds are not harmful to normal cells.
When these compounds enter a cancer cell, they react strongly and form reactive radicals, which cause the cell to kill itself. When they enter a healthy cell, the cell starts to increase the amount of glutathione (GSH) in the cell, which protects the cell against chemical toxins.
The researchers tested the molecules on human cells and in mice, and found consistent results. They treated various normal and cancerous human cells with the FMD compounds and tested them to see whether the cells were killed. They also tested the levels of GSH in the cells, revealing that the amount of protective molecule increased in the normal cells, while it decreased in cancer cells.
They then tested the FMD compounds on a range of tumors in mice, representing cervical, ovarian, breast, and lung cancers. They measured the extent to which the FMD compounds slowed down tumor growth, and found it was effective at slowing or halting the growth of all tumors.
“We're very excited about our discovery; we can see that the FMD compounds are just as effective as cisplatin in mice but without being toxic,” said Dr. Lu. “We believe that it could potentially be used to treat a very wide range of cancers, without making patients suffer the toxic side effects that some existing drugs have.”
“These compounds are therefore a previously undiscovered class of potent antitumor agents that can be translated into clinical trials for natural targeted chemotherapy of multiple cancers,” wrote the investigators.

Q:
Styling ComboBox when DropDown opens and closes in WPF
i am wondering if it's possible to create styles in XAML to the events of a Control. To properties i know that is possible, but and to the Events?
What i need is to apply some styles to a ComboBox when the DropDown opens, and then apply other style after DropDown closes. Is possible to create a style in XAML to this event or any other one?
This is easy to do when he create the event in the code behind and it will do whatever we want, but i am wondering if it's possible to prevent that and simply create a Style.
And anyway it's a Style that i will apply in more than one ComboBox, and so it's why i don't want to create one event per ComboBox.
A:
Do you really need the events? How about this:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}">
<!-- Default style setters here -->
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsDropDownOpen" Value="True">
<!-- Opened style setters here -->
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>

Human sexual development.
Empirical research by scholars from several disciplines provides the basis for an outline of the process of sexual development. The process of achieving sexual maturity begins at conception and ends at death. It is influenced by biological maturation/aging, by progression through the socially-defined stages of childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and later life, and by the person s relationships with others, including family members, intimate partners, and friends. These forces shape the person's gender and sexual identities, sexual attitudes and sexual behavior. Adults display their sexuality in a variety of lifestyles, with heterosexual marriage being the most common. This diversity contributes to the vitality of society. Although changes in sexual functioning in later life are common, sexual interest and desire may continue until death. |

Use this method to bind data from a source to a server control. This method is commonly used after retrieving a dataset through a database query. Most controls perform data binding automatically, which means that you typically do not need to call this method explicitly.
The following example overrides the DataBind method in a custom ASP.NET server control. It begins by calling the base OnDataBinding method and then uses the ControlCollection.Clear method to delete all the child controls and the ClearChildViewState method to delete any saved view-state settings for those child controls. Finally, the ChildControlsCreated property is set to true and the control is instructed to track any changes to the view state of the newly created controls with the TrackViewState method. This is a common technique when binding data to a control to ensure that new data does not conflict with data stored from a previous DataBind method call. |

Q:
call jquery function within "a" tag "onclick"
here is my code:
<a href='P001' class='basic'>Read More</a><br>
<a href='P002' class='basic'>Read More</a><br>
<a href='P003' class='basic'>Read More</a><br>
my script:
$('.basic').click(function(id){
$.ajax({
url: 'display_pro.php?id='+$('.basic').attr('href'),
success: function(data) {alert(data);}
});
});
when i click all links it's always get the 'P001'.
what is the problem?
Thanks for your help.
A:
$('.basic').click(function(e) {
var link = this; // <-- best practice
$.ajax({
url: 'display_pro.php?id=' + link.href, // use link here...
success: function(data) {alert(data);}
});
return false; // <-- needed, prevents page from jumping into another page..
});
A:
Instead of +$('.basic').attr('href') you should do:
$(this).attr('href')
Otherwise, you are asking again for the set of items with the class as "basic" and grabbing the value of the first one. $(this) (or e.target) ensure you are getting the currently clicked item. Also, FYI, the argument passed to the function is not id--it is an event object.

Branford Patch Dating Column
Wanna hear the worst pick-up line ever? “I write a dating column.”
The second worst is, “I used to write a dating column.”
For some reason, no guy wants to date the “dating column” girl, or the dating column girl of yesteryear – Sex and the City lied to me! I thought every guy wanted to date that girl – if for no other reason than she’s a challenge. And, aren’t most guys about the “conquest” of it all? Apparently not. Maybe every guy just wanted to date Sarah Jessica Parker.
I considered my chronic lack of boyfriend “job security,” back when dating and writing about it for the Branford Patch was kinda my job. Now, I just consider it more baggage.
The Patch editor found me on Twitter. Initially, she wanted to interview me about an “unconventional” dating method I’d employed (speed dating). She was thinking of doing a feature story. Thirty minutes into the interview, she decided I was entertainingly crazy. Fifteen minutes later, she offered me my own column, provided I could write. |
Although the proposed studies (A - C) are diversified with respect to both epithelial cells (kidney, intestine, liver, and gill from various vertebrates) and transported substances (polar and non-polar), they all employ a common physiological-morphological approach and share the same long-term goal, i.e., to elucidate the nature and organization of membrane and cytoplasmic mechanisms involved in transcellular movement. The basic rationale of this project is the premise that only a limited number of such transport mechanisms have developed in the course of evolution. Thus, a broadly comparative series of studies, which take advantage of special features in particular tissues and species, can be most productive of fundamental information which, in turn, bears directly on human health problems. For example, sodium chloride transport across the euryhaline fish gill exhibits adaptive changes in both rate and direction which appear to be central to understanding the renal regulation of salt balance and edema in man (A). Similarly, evidence from flounder kidney tubules suggesting active secretory transport of DDA, an organic acid metabolite of DDT, could lead to procedures for reducing the body burden of the parent pesticide in man (B,C): A. Autoradiographic and functional analysis of mucous secretion and ion transport by chloride cells of fish gill. B. Autoradiographic and functional analysis of individual transport steps for proteins and organic acids in renal tubular and hepatic cells of vertebrates. C. Analysis of interactions of DDT-like pollutants with specific cell transport systems. |
Great Personal Development Tips All In One Place!
Personal development is an important part of being the best that you can be. From doing things like developing good healthy habits for your body, to good spending habits, you can work on a lot with your life. You should always strive to be a better person, all throughout your life. Continually working to become a better person is always a positive thing, because it allows you to learn and grow.

Seek out areas of your life that you can develop that you can spend your energy on without going against what you hold important in life. This allows you to implement personal and professional changes that will last forever.
lecture rapide pdf Begin today setting some money aside regularly for emergencies. Many people handle every unexpected expense with a credit card, building up debt. However, you can protect yourself from this happening by depositing a few dollars into a savings account each week. You will be surprised at how quickly your emergency fund will increase. This money can help out in the short and long term because debt continues decreasing.
Exercise is for everyone, not just people who are trying to lose a few pounds. Exercise has many physiological benefits. As you work out, your body will release chemicals necessary to relieving your stress.
Instead of focusing on your own achievements, ask others about theirs. Respectful listening to the successes of others can help you to gain insight into your own inner life as well as allowing you to connect with others in a meaningful way.
click here to read more Always have an emergency fund. Too often, unexpected expenses are put on credit cards, which only adds interest to the debt and increases your burden. Putting back a few dollars weekly can build an emergency fund quickly. That fund can help us both in the short term and in the long term as our debt decreases instead of grows.
Exercise is for everybody. It is not reserved for those who wish to slim down. There are many different reasons to exercise. When you exercise, your body makes a variety of chemicals that assist in relaxing you.
You have to not only decide what you want out of life, you also have to take steps to get it. A plan for your ideal life is a great starting point, but a plan without action will get you nowhere. You need to do everything in your power to make your dreams come true.
Moving toward your goal and meeting your personal needs demands that you do one specific thing to be successful. Don't sit on the sidelines; take control of your life! If you just observe your life as it passes you by, you are just waiting for the end and not living.
It may become discouraging to begin developing better personal habits and lifestyles, but once you start noticing your life developing towards a better future, you will never want to stop. You can always develop better ways to do things and it's important to always try hard towards any personal development goals you have. |
SHANNON, Ireland (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he thinks Mexico wants to make a deal in the neighbors’ immigration dispute, but that he will go ahead with tariffs on Mexican goods if it does not do more to control migration.
“Mexico you know wants to make a deal. They have their entire delegation right now going over to probably the White House location to negotiate with our people,” Trump told reporters at the start of a two-day trip to Ireland.
“Mexico can stop it, they have to stop it. Otherwise we just won’t be able to do business. It’s a very simple thing. And I think they will stop it. I think they want to make a deal, and they’ve sent their top people to try and do it. We’ll see what happens today. We should know something.” |

Q:
Variable size bitset
I am practicing a question on array in which I have to find unique elements. Now for this my logic is to find the max element in the array and define the bitset for that. But problem is bitset needs a constant value so how to overcome this, below are some of my question on this:
a) Can I, by any chance, define the bitset with a variable size?
b) If not, then what is the best approach to use vector<bool> or vector<char>?
c) I know boost has a dynamic bitset but as I am doing this for learning I want to know of alternate approaches.
A:
The std::bitset<N> template requires a fixed size in advance. The std::vector<bool> is the C++ standard's way of providing a variable-length bitvector, and it offers functionality similar to a bitset that can grow and shrink.
As for whether it's better or worse to use vector<char> or vector<bool>: the vector<bool> is a much more direct way of accomplishing this goal. I would start off by using it, then switch to vector<char> if the performance is unacceptable. In general, it's good to try to write the cleanest, most straightforward implementation first, then to optimize later on.
Hope this helps!

Q:
How to add epics asynchronously?
I am able to add asynchronous reducer, but unable to add asynchronous epics
Following this link Adding New Epics Asynchronously, I tried using epic$.next() but was unable to add new epic.
import { applyMiddleware, createStore, compose } from 'redux';
import { createEpicMiddleware, combineEpics } from 'redux-observable';
import { BehaviorSubject } from 'rxjs';
import { mergeMap } from 'rxjs/operators';
import createReducer from '../reducers';
import mainEpic from '../config/epics';
Middleware configuration is given below:
const epicMiddleware = createEpicMiddleware();
const epic$ = new BehaviorSubject(mainEpic);
const rootEpic = (action$, state$) =>
epic$.pipe(mergeMap(epic => epic(action$, state$)));
Store Enhancers for redux dev tools
const composeEnhancers =
// compose;
process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' &&
window.navigator.platform !== 'iPad' &&
window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION_COMPOSE__
? window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION_COMPOSE__
: compose;
This is the instantiation of store
export default () => {
const store = createStore(
createReducer(),
composeEnhancers(applyMiddleware(epicMiddleware))
);
epicMiddleware.run(rootEpic);
// Extra functionality to the store
store.asyncReducers = {};
Here, I call injectRepics (Repics for reducer and epics) with parameters key, reducer, newEpic when new component is bound asynchronously
store.injectRepics = (key, reducer, newEpic) => {
if (!store.getState()[key]) {
// here I get newEpic
console.log(newEpic);
// new reducer is added to asyncreducer object
store.asyncReducers[key] = reducer;
// new reducer is created and replaced
store.replaceReducer(createReducer(store.asyncReducers));
// -------------------------------------
But, I'm unable to replace epic
// -------------------------------------
newEpic && epic$.next(newEpic);
// epicMiddleware.run(rootEpic);
// newEpic && addNewEpic(newEpic);
}
};
return store;
};
A:
There was a simple mistake.
I forgot to add combineEpics in new epic.
So, the code becomes newEpic && epic$.next(combineEpics(...newEpic))
