ALABAMA Rot is a deadly disease in dogs, which causes skin lesions and even fatal kidney disease. Here are the signs your dog may present if they have the disease.
Alabama Rot is a disease in dogs, which causes skin lesions and can cause fatal kidney disease. The disease causes damage to blood vessels of the skin and kidneys and can lead to blood to clot in the vessels which damages the lining and delicate tissues of the kidneys. Alabama Rot was first identified in the 1980s in Alabama.

How to spot symptoms
Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club secretary, said: “Although the disease is very rare, affecting an extremely low percentage of dogs in the UK, the condition is very serious and potentially life-threatening.
“It is therefore vital that owners understand and recognise the warning signs, especially as time plays a significant part in successfully treating the disease.”
The most telling sign your dog has contracted Alabama rot are skin lesions, which appear as a patch of red skin or as an open ulcer or sore.
To vets, the lesions look out of the ordinary and as a sign your dog may have caught the disease. |
Cold field electron emitters or “cold cathode” electron sources based on field emission have been continuously researched for decades, with resurgence in recent years motivated by advances in carbon nanostructures. This research is motivated by the significant technological applications enabled by the desirable properties of field-extracted cold electrons in comparison to heat induced electron emissions. The use of carbon nanotube field emitters in display applications and its potential advantages have been known for some time. In addition though, attributes such as minimal beam spread and fast response would also allow for advances in other critical applications, including microwave electronics and x-ray sources. These attributes would lead to superior communication and radar, and new functionalities and modalities in imaging technology for medicine and security. These latter applications, however, require an emitter capable of high emission current, which so far has been in the realm of thermal sources.
Accordingly, a need exists for a cold field or “cold cathode” field emitter which could provide relatively high emission current densities without failure. Moreover, it would also be beneficial to provide methods of forming such emitters at ambient temperatures and which are amenable for large scale manufacturing processes. |

If it’s a little Valentines Day beauty inspiration you’re after these days , looking to a Victoria’s Secret model is a pretty good way to start. VS models are a special breed of pretty, continually blowing us away as they march the glittery runway each winter season. Karlie Kross is one of the world’s highest-paid models for a reason. Always chic and always sophisticated, the gal’s got the act of minimal makeup down to a science. Here, the model is seen looking fresh and fabulous, due in no small part to cleverly placed highlighter with the potential to make a world of difference. Reach for a cream highlighter like Karlie’s to form the perfect party-ready look this season.
You may be tempted to go full-on flashy for this special time of year, but it’s imperative to exercise some restraint in order for the fabulousness of a good highlighter to shine through. Literally. The soft, dewey look is much more appropriate for product that an attention-grabbing red lip. Keep colors neutral to avoid an overly shiny moment that’s rarely flattering, if at all. A nude lip and neutral smokey eye will do just fine to achieve a covetable beauty look in a flash. Pair this anything from a shimmery party dress to a little black dress to up the ante on the style game this season. Gather hair into a messy updo and throw a pair of statement earrings into the mix to draw attention to your gorgeous face. Sophisticated yet still completely sassy, this is one look sure to score you a Valentines Day kiss this season.

ACE architectural hardware and design exhibition is asia's largest architectural hardware and design exhibition which happens in ahmedabad and many other cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, New Delhi, Kolkata each year. Many big brands come in this exhibition to build brand awareness and generate more clients for them.
It is a wise decision to visit in one of these exhibitions if you get time so that you get more idea which products to sell online and what is the brand value for that. I have personally built many brand contacts here through this ACE exhibition and similar exhibitions.
I started my online selling journey in amazon, flipkart, ebay, snapdeal, paytm by visiting such small and large exhibitions and making contacts there. You too can try that. All the best to you all. |
Q:
How does one show untracked files in current directory only while using .gitignore filter?
As a followup on this question
The answer there show all untracked files. How to show untracked files in current directory only, and use the .gitignore, i.e. files in .gitignore shouldnt be shown?
Thanks
A:
Your requirements are not quite clear.
If you want to see only untracked files that match the .gitignore filter then
git ls-files --other --exclude-standard --ignored|grep -v /
If you want to see only untracked files that do not match the .gitignore filter then
git ls-files --other --exclude-standard|grep -v /
Used options of git ls-files:
-o, --others Show other (i.e. untracked) files in the output
-i, --ignored Show only ignored files in the output. When showing
files in the index, print only those matched by an exclude pattern.
When showing "other" files, show only those matched by an exclude
pattern.
--exclude-standard Add the standard Git exclusions:
.git/info/exclude, .gitignore in each directory, and the user’s global
exclusion file.
Files not from the current directory are filtered out with grep.

Immobilized RGD peptides on surface-grafted dextran promote biospecific cell attachment.
Dextran has recently been investigated as an alternative to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) for low protein-binding, cell-resistant coatings on biomaterial surfaces. Although antifouling properties of surface-grafted dextran and PEG are quite similar, surface-bound dextran has multiple reactive sites for high-density surface immobilization of biologically active molecules. We recently reported nontoxic aqueous methods to covalently immobilize dextran on material surfaces. These dextran coatings effectively limited cell adhesion and spreading in the presence of serum-borne cell adhesion proteins. In this study we utilized the same nontoxic aqueous methods to graft cell adhesion peptides on low protein-binding dextran monolayer surfaces. Chemical composition of all modified surfaces was verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Surface-grafted cell adhesion peptides stimulated endothelial cell, fibroblast, and smooth muscle cell attachment and spreading in vitro. In contrast, surface-grafted inactive peptide sequences did not promote high levels of cell interaction. Surface-grafted high affinity cyclic RGD peptides promoted cell type-dependent interactions. With dextran-based surface coatings, it will be possible to develop well-defined surface modifications that promote specific cell interactions and perhaps better performance in long-term biomaterial implants. |
Intravitreal injection of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator and pneumatic displacement of submacular haemorrhage.
We report a case of a patient with hypertension and ischaemic heart disease on anti-platelet treatment, who developed uniocular profound visual loss from a submacular haemorrhage secondary to valsalva retinopathy. He was treated with a combination of intravitreal recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) gas followed by strict prone positioning. He demonstrated significant displacement of the haemorrhage and improvement of vision postoperatively. |

As soon as I saw the Narwhal on the package, I knew the time had come. I was full of eager anticipation as I unwrapped the box, and boy, was I in for a wonderful surprise.
My secret santa enclosed a touching letter which brought a smile to my face. I received thoughtful gifts - clearly a product of thorough stalking (I salute you!) - and each one brought a smile to my face.
Firstly, the Mayonnaise. I absolutely love the stuff, and put it on everything. I received a lovely big tube Best Foods Mayo infused with Olive Oil. Usually I'm very brand loyal to the 'Hellmans' stuff I get in Scotland, but this tastes simply amazing!
I also received sun screen to protect my from the sun on my travels when I move to Australia next week. Again, very thoughtful, as my secret santa rightfully realized that we don't see much of this life-giver back in Scotland.
The coffee beans and espresso mug/saucer were also a delightful addition, and I'm enjoying a fine mug of San Diego coffee as I write this.
Finally, last but not least, the Dolphin coaster. What can I say - who doesn't love Dolphins? This finely crafted piece of local apparatus will be put to good use throughout the festive period as I 'coast' my drinks in style.
Secret Santa - thank you kindly for bringing such a huge smile to my face, and your gifts of 'awesomeness' have been received with much gratitude all the way over in the climes of dreary Scotland. I wish you all the very best! |
Heat Pumps Donated to Technical Schools to Help Students Learn Trade
There’s no better way to learn a trade than with hands-on experience. Thanks to Bangor Hydro and Maine Public Service, local high schoolers are getting a head start learning about a system that’s really heating up. Students at United Technologies Center in Bangor are always working on something. Right now, it’s heat pumps. ” For us to be able to get a little ahead of the curve and have our students a little ahead of the curve, it’s huge,” said Fred Woodman, director of UTC. The pumps, donated by Bangor Hydro and Maine Public Service, are booming in popularity since there’s a rebate and financing program available. ” Everyone’s looking to save money on their heating costs especially in Maine in the cold winters, so this is really a great way to do that,” said Susan Faloon, spokeswoman for Bangor Hydro. Students are learning the ins-and-outs of the units. ” We went over each step multiple times so we know everything from the beginning to the end,” said Cody Johnston, a senior at UTC. Cody Johnston wants to be a master electrician and says this opportunity gives him a good head start. ” It was a cool experience just because we learned something that not a lot of people know yet,” explained Johnston. Kyle Farley is also a student at UTC. He says even if he doesn’t become an electrician, he’s glad he knows how to do this.” It’s still good to have the experience so we can do it ourselves and we don’t necessarily have to pay the extra money for installations and other people to come do it for us,” said Farley. It’s also a way to show the students that there are job opportunities in the state. ” It’s important to them so they can remain here, and live here, and raise their families here,” said Woodman. Students will continue to work with the pumps, gaining training on something experts say is a hot industry in Maine. Pumps were also donated to Northeast Technical Institute in Bangor.

Q:
Implement specialization in ER diagram
I want to implement this specialization relationship. Knowing that I will have different attributes for each account type. Here's my try:
accounts(account_id, email, username, password, ...)
user_accounts(account_id, ..)
admin_accounts(account_id, ..)
messages(subject, body, from_account_id, to_account_id)
Where account_id in user_accounts and admin_acounts is the primary key and foreign key references account_id on accounts
And from_account_id, to_account_id in messages references account_id on accounts.
But what happens if I wanted to create a relationship with one of the account type only. For example I want to give permissions to admins to manage something, So I would do something like this:
permissions(admin_account_id, type, value, ..)
Where admin_account_id is a foreign key references account_id on admin_accounts
Is that possible? And what would happen If I tried to enter a permission for a user_account_id instead?
I hope my question is clear and excuse my English language.
A:
You might want to look into two techniques: class-table-inheritance and shared-primary-key.
By applying these two techniques to your case, you may end up with a simpler, yet more powerful design than the one you propose. In some cases, you can dispense with the TypeID entirely, because a join between the generalized table and the appropriate specialized table will yield precisely the objects you are looking for. In addition, because the join is on two primary keys, the join will be relatively fast.

The Loire Valley is, of course celebrated for its châteaux. The banks of the river, and its tributaries the Cher and the Indre, are home to the finest examples of the castle builder's art; from the medieval fortresses of Amboise and Angers, through the renaissance masterpieces of Chenonceaux and Chambord to the fabulous gardens of Villandry.
The attractions of the region are not limited to stone and mortar. The riverbanks are lined with the vineyards of many fine wine domaines; sparkling Saumur, reds from Bourgueil and Chinon, Anjou rosés and Touraine whites.
The cuisine of the region makes use of the local specialties such as its many cheeses, the mushrooms of which the area is a major producer, and river fish like salmon and pike. Our routes take in all of the major châteaux; we also visit other attractions including Leonardo da Vinci's home and studios at Clos Lucé near Amboise, and 'troglodyte' houses carved out of the soft 'tufa' rock along the banks of the Loire.
The cycling is gentle, following riverbanks and meandering across country along quiet tree lined roads. This tour takes in the fabulous château of the Renaissance: Chenonceau, Chaumont, Chambord and Cheverney, the oft-overlooked medieval town of Loches, Leonardo da Vinci's manor house at Amboise, to name but a few.
The riding takes us through the ancient hunting forests of the kings, often on traffic-free well surfaced bike tracks. Along the way there is time to sample the extremely drinkable white wines of Touraine. |
The present invention relates in general to semiconductor memories and, more particularly, to a non-volatile semiconductor memory made with ferro-electric capacitors.
Semiconductor memories are used in a myriad of applications to store data for later retrieval and usage. Many applications require the memory to be non-volatile in that the data must remain valid for a long period of time even when external power is removed from the memory cell. One such application involves the use of tag memory where one or more memory cells are placed on an item, e.g. personal luggage, that does not have a power source. The tag memory on the luggage may be accessed, for example at airports and depots, to make identification as to the owner and destination. An RF signal is transmitted remotely from a reader to access the tag memory. Some of the received RF transmission signal power energizes the tag memory cell so that the data may be retrieved and transmitted back to the reader. The tag memory must be non-volatile since it remains dormant for long periods of time between accesses.
In the prior art, ferro-electric capacitors have been used as the non-volatile memory storage element. However, the number of available data accesses is limited because the ferro-electric property degrades with each memory access cycle. Most if not all ferro-electric memory structures drive the ferro-electric material completely around its hysteresis loop every time the ferro-electric memory cell is accessed. Thus, with the ferro-electric capacitors used as the non-volatile memory storage element, the continuous memory cycling leads to an unnecessary amount of polarization domain switching that also causes excessive power consumption by the ferro-electric cell and reduces the endurance and data retention time of the memory circuit.
Hence, a need exists for a non-volatile storage device that can be accessed remotely while retaining data for long periods of time. |

Has Argentina a hidden agenda?
Euronews
Tension is mounting between Argentina and a European country. There is bellicose rhetoric and the risk of a trade war looming. Sounds familiar. But the country is not Britain, but Spain, Argentina’s closest ally in Europe – until now.
Is there more to it than a mere quarrel over an oil company? Host Stefan Grobe attempts to find out by talking to Laurence Allan, Latin America analyst at IHS Global Insight in London.
Also in the programme we report on growing poverty in Spain and the launch of the “new” yuan in China. |
“The bigger story is how potential MSM alliance partners reframe the incident so that they can still join forces with the party," Jeffery said in an emailed research note. “If they opt not to align with the MSM, opposition parties will have to find a way of justifying an alliance with the Ptr under Mr Ramgoolam which could be equally tricky to sell to supporters," he said, referring to the Labour party, one of Mauritius’ three main parties. It is led by former Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam. Bloomberg |
Q:
WooCommerce PHP Show Attribute Name in Dropdown
I want to show the name of an attribute at the drop-down-menu when no variation is selected. This is the code:
function wc_dropdown_variation_attribute_options( $args = array() ) {
$args = wp_parse_args( apply_filters( 'woocommerce_dropdown_variation_attribute_options_args', $args ), array(
'options' => false,
'attribute' => false,
'product' => false,
'selected' => false,
'name' => '',
'id' => '',
'class' => '',
'show_option_none' => __( 'Choose:', 'woocommerce' ),
) );
It should be: "Choose: attribute-name" e.g. Color or Size etc.
Can anyone help me?
A:
modifying the core function directly is not recommended at all because you are going to lose any modification that you are going to do when the plugin is updated however with WordPress you can alter the function args with filter so here is how you can achieve your target goal.
add_filter( 'woocommerce_dropdown_variation_attribute_options_args', 'change_default_choose_text' );
function change_default_choose_text( $args ) {
$term = wc_attribute_label( $args['attribute'] ); //Get Attribute label
$args['show_option_none'] = __( 'Choose ' . $term . ' ', 'woocommerce' ); //Modify the Default option value
return $args;
}
Output:
Just put the code above in your functions.php

It’s that time of year again! Actually, it was that time of year again last month for our annual X-Mas in July “Epic Southern Living Magazine Christmas Cake Baking Party!” However, this year one of my nieces couldn’t make it for any dates in July so we moved it to August. And, once again, it was a chaotic, but fun, success!
Here is the cake we decided to make this year:
Ta Da! We did it! The Southern Living Magazine Chocolate Citrus Orange Cake with Candied Oranges and Chocolate Ganache Filling!
I am thrilled to be debuting my new comedy variety show this October at the lovely, historic Virginia Samford Theater in Birmingham AL. If you are in the area I hope you will come “see” me! Click here for tickets and info. ~ Sunny xo |
Q:
Is it possible to build a cheap memcached server?
Is it possible to build a cheap memcached server?
A:
It's always "cheap" to build a "server" (I use those terms loosly, as you'll see below), but we can't answer this question for you. Only you can, by making decisions based on the following questions:
Your definition of "Cheap" (your budetary needs may differ from others)
Are you happy to go with commodity hardware and wear the risks?
Are you concerned with hardware support
Are you concerned with hardware replacement service agreements?
How long do you want the hardware to last?
Once you've got these items figured out, then you need to shop around and see what you can get within your budget and then that will answer that question for you.

Storyline
Earthman Arthur Dent is having a very bad day. His house is about to be bulldozed, he discovers that his best friend is an alien--and to top things off, Planet Earth is about to be demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass. Arthur's only chance for survival: hitch a ride on a passing spacecraft. For the novice space traveler, the greatest adventure in the universe begins when the world ends. Arthur sets out on a journey in which he finds that nothing is as it seems: he learns that a towel is just the most useful thing in the universe, finds the meaning of life, and discovers that everything he needs to know can be found in one book: "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
Trivia & Production Notes
Sam Rockwell will play Zaphod, the two-headed president of the galaxy. Mos Def plays Ford Prefect, an alien disguising himself as an out-of-work actor who sets out on an intergalactic journey with his best friend, mild-mannered earthling Arthur Dent (Morgan Freeman). The duo hitch a ride through space with Sam Rockwell's Zaphod, the beautiful and brilliant scientist Trillion (Zooey Deschanel) and a depressed robot while on a quest to discover the meaning of life. |
A framework for producing deterministic canonical bottom-up parsers
Abstract
A general framework for producing deterministic canonical bottom-up parsers is described and very general conditions on the means of construction are presented which guarantee that the parsing methods work correctly. These conditions cover all known types of deterministic canonical bottom-up-parsers. |
Origins and evolution of Huntington disease chromosomes.
Huntington disease (HD) is one of five neurodegenerative disorders resulting from an expansion of a CAG repeat located within the coding portion of a novel gene. CAG repeat expansion beyond a particular repeat size has been shown to be a specific and sensitive marker for the disease. A strong inverse correlation is evident between CAG length and age of onset. Sporadic cases of HD have been shown to arise from intermediate sized alleles in the unaffected parent. The biochemical pathways underlying the relationship between CAG repeat length and specific cell death are not yet known. However, there is an increasing understanding of how and why specific chromosomes and not others expand into the disease range. Haplotype analysis has demonstrated that certain normal chromosomes, with CAG lengths at the high range of normal, are prone to further expansion and eventually result in HD chromosomes. New mutations preferentially occur on normal chromosomes with these same haplotypes associated with higher CAG lengths. The distribution of different haplotypes on control chromosomes in different populations is thus one indication of the frequency of new mutations for HD within that population. Analysis of normal chromosomes in different populations suggests that genetic factors contribute to expansion and account for the variation in prevalence rates for HD worldwide. |
In the RF transmission of digital information, sampled data sequences are converted to analog signals and processed, subsequently, by various operations containing unwanted nonlinearities. The primary source of nonlinearity is the power amplifier (PA). Nonlinear behavior of the PA (or other devices) can be compensated using digital predistortion (DPD). That is, the correction signal is a sampled sequence applied prior to the PA to create a corrected signal which compensates for nonlinear modes in the transmitter.
The nonlinear behavior of the PA transfer characteristics can be classified as memoryless or memory based. For a memoryless nonlinear device, the nonlinear modes are functions of the instantaneous input value, x(t), only. In contrast, for a PA exhibiting memory effects, the nonlinear modes are functions of both instantaneous and past input values. In general, memory effects exist in any PA; however, the effect becomes more apparent when the bandwidth of the input signal is large. As a result, the correction of memory effects will become increasingly more important as wide bandwidth modulation formats are put in use.
Therefore a need presently exists for an improved digital predistortion system where, in addition to correcting memoryless nonlinearities, the specific problem of compensating for memory effects associated with the power amplifier is addressed. |
Synopsis
by Hal Erickson
Tensions of a mostly racial nature erupt between two African-American staffers at the ER, the mild-mannered Michael Gallant (Sharif Atkins) and the outspoken Gregory Pratt (Mekhi Phifer). Pratt foments the hostility when he interferes in Gallant's treatment of a suicidal soldier. But when a hypochondriac (Diane Delano) is refused treatment by Dr. Kayson (Sam Anderson) for what seems to be a genuine ailment, Pratt holds his tongue -- with fatal consequences for the patient. Now it is Gallant's turn to unleash his anger at Pratt, a confrontation with long-ranging ramifications. Elsewhere, a distracted Weaver (Laura Innes) makes a disastrous error while demonstrating flu shots on a TV news program, and Carter (Noah Wyle) again confronts Abby (Maura Tierney) about her alcohol problems. |
Q:
Collecting data from NSURLConnection
I have the worst internet connection atm, so sorry if this has been asked before..
I have an NSURLConnection for getting some json data. Until now it worked perfectly fine to use the delegate method didReceiveData:(NSData*)data to save the received data. I am downloading data from at least seven different pages at the same time. Today, after updati g on of the json-pages to contain more data, the NSData object seemed corrupt. I have recently been told that this delegate does not return the whole data, and thus corrupting my information.
Is there another delegate like the didFinish only it also returns the full complete object? Or do I have to do this myself, like merging two NSData's?
Sorry for stupidity, and grammatical errors are dedicated to iPhone auto-correct.
A:
You must never, ever rely on didReceiveData: returning the full data, because it will break one day. You have to collect your chunks of data in an NSMutableData:
NSMutableData *d = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)c didReceiveData:(NSData *)data
{
[d appendData:data];
}
- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)conn
{
// 'd' now contains the entire data
}
If it's inconvenient for you, you can avoid using NSURLConnection and use a background thread to grab the data in one piece using:
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://web.service/response.json"]];

Q:
registerNib:forReuseidentifier with custom UTTableViewCell and Storyboards
I'm migrating from customizing my TableViewCells in tableView:cellForRow:atIndexPath: to using a custom UITableViewCell subclass. Here's how I done it:
First, created empty XIB, dragged UITableViewCell there and put a UILabel on top. Created a class (subclass of UITableViewCell) and in Interface Builder's properties editor set the class to MyCell.
Then, in my TableViewController, put the following:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// load custom cell
UINib *cellNIB = [UINib nibWithNibName:@"MyCell" bundle:nil];
if (cellNIB)
{
[self.tableView registerNib:cellNIB forCellReuseIdentifier:@"MyCell"];
} else NSLog(@"failed to load nib");
}
After that I wiped out all the custom code from tableView:cellForRow:atIndexPath: and left only default lines:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"MyCell";
MyCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
return cell;
}
When I ran this, I expected to see a bunch of cells with a single label in each cell (the very label that I dropped in the middle while creating XIB). But instead I see just plain white empty cells and adding/removing the components to the XIB layout doesn't help.
I spend A DAY trying different options like setting the reuseIdentifier in Interface Builder for custom cell XIB and loading the view in tableView:cellForRow:atIndexPath:, but none helped.
A:
...but it turned out, that the only thing that I missed, was clearing the reuseIdentifier for prototype cell in my Storyboard for this TableViewController. It seems that Storyboard initializes its views/components later that viewDidLoad called, and instead of taking my nice custom cell, xCode sets the real cell view for reusing to just plain white cell which is the standard for newly created TableViewControllers.
So again: go to your TableView properties and remove the reuseIdentifier you set before ;)
I spend so much time for this, so I thought it might help someone if I share this experience here.

Tell Nursing Homes to Stop Stealing Seniors’ Rights
Fine print buried in nursing home admissions contracts is depriving nursing home residents and their families of their constitutional rights. During the incredibly stressful nursing home admissions process, many nursing home corporations push residents and their families into signing away their right to go to court — even in instances when residents suffer severe neglect, serious injuries, death or sexual and physical abuse.
Nursing homes should focus on helping elderly individuals live in dignity and thrive with the support of caring professionals and not on protecting themselves when they harm residents with poor care.Sign the petition: Forced arbitration clauses in nursing home contracts must be banned in order to restore the rights of residents and their families.
Forced arbitration clauses are unfair terms that block seniors from accessing the court system. Instead, they are pushed into private, biased arbitration forums where decisions are often made by the industry’s handpicked arbitration firms where there are no appeals, no accountability and no transparency. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that administers Medicare and Medicaid, is currently considering ending forced arbitration for nursing homes that receive public funding (nearly all).
CMS can require nursing homes that want to receive taxpayer funds to stop forcing residents to sign away their rights. It can restore residents’ rights and choice by permitting arbitration only after disputes arise, making arbitration truly voluntary. The nursing home industry should no longer be allowed to force victims into a rigged system because they signed a document during the stress and confusion of admission to their facilities
Claims against nursing homes can be heartbreaking. The frail elderly living there rely upon caretakers hired by nursing home corporations for their medical, physical and other daily needs. Neglect and abuse cause tremendous suffering in the final years of life. If anything, the rights of today’s seniors in nursing homes should be strengthened, not weakened.
Let’s send a strong message to CMS and urge the agency to prioritize the rights of seniors over corporate interest. Add your name right now. Tell CMS: America’s seniors should not have to sacrifice their rights to protect corporate profits. |
Talkback: Wind
It's been very windy here in Dorset too. luckily I haven't had anything damaged just a couple of pots blown over. More high winds are forecast for tonight so I've been outside to check that everything is secured, hopefully tomorrow everything should be where it should be.
Very windy in Bristol too = blew my Xmas wreath on the front door into the garden but no damage done. I'll fix it again when the wind subsides. I'm giving a pre - Xmas lunch to some of my fellow volunteers from the Botanic Gardens tomorrow and they will have to put up with "those onions are from my lovely crop this year"and "I had such a glut of strawberries I had to freeze a load and some are in your trifle" I agree, Pippa, the produce from your own efforts pay for the extra effort.
Greetings all - it's been very windy in Sussex too - much of this week on the nursery has been spent re-tying trees to their lines, clearing up broken glass from greenhouses and removing fallen/broken trees - it's heartbreaking when such lovely plants get destroyed in bad weather, but all part of it I guess. Happy Marion - please may I have some trifle?!
We're waiting for the hard frosts to come and kill off our beautify exotic plants......I think I'm a bit of an old softie really - they're like my babies!
It's always windy here in Lincolnshire! Some of my pots had blown over after the last very windy blast. I find that if I remove the pot feet from all my pots and weigh them down with bricks also move them to as sheltered a site as possible, although they don't look very elegant it usually does the trick. Parts of my garden have "wind tunnels" . I have a clematis in a pot growing through a climbing rose and in the earlier part of the year,after we had a windy spell the clematis got hopelessly tangled up in the rose and I couldn't untangle it. It did flower well but I shall move it in the early part of next year to a less windy spot. The climbing rose will have to flower on its own.
The latest windy spell seems to be much worse with lots of damage done, especialy to polytunnels. The lime trees especially seem susceptible to wind. my drive is strewn with broken branches from the two trees next door. safer to stay indoors in this kind of weather. |

Delete button destroys but not redirecting in rails
I have a delete button that deletes the project but does not redirect. I am deleting in the edit view so I am unsure if that is the issue. I did check and it is set to DELETE and not GET.
This is a Ruby on Rails app that uses HAML.
Routes:
projects GET /projects(.:format) projects#index
POST /projects(.:format) projects#create

A:
Your link_to is set up with remote: true. This means the link is submitted via an ajax call so the redirect happens in the context of that call.
You need to either remove remote: true or create a delete.js.erb view and return the path to redirect to from your delete action. In the view you can then set window.location to this new path.

Copper-based reactions in analyte-responsive fluorescent probes for biological applications.
Copper chemistry has been capitalized on in a wide spectrum of biological events. The central importance of copper in biology lies in the diverse chemical reactivity of the redox-active transition metal ranging from electron transfer, small molecule binding and activation, to catalysis. In addition to its many different roles in natural biological systems, the diverse chemical reactivity of copper also represents a rich opportunity and resource to develop synthetic bioanalytical tools for the study of biologically important species and molecules. In this mini-review, fluorescent probes featuring a specific copper-based chemical reaction to selectively detect a biologically relevant analyte will be discussed. In particular, fluorescent probes for sensing labile copper ions, amino acids and small reactive species will be highlighted. The chemical principles, advantages and limitations of the different types of copper-mediated chemical reactions in these fluorescent probes will be emphasized. |

In vivo effects of ApoE and clusterin on amyloid-beta metabolism and neuropathology.
The epsilon4 allele of apolipoprotein E APOE is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), and the epsilon2 allele is associated with a decreased risk for AD. There is strong evidence to suggest that a major, if not the main, mechanism underlying the link between apoE and both AD and CAA is related to the ability of apoE to interact with the amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptide and influence its clearance, aggregation, and conformation. In addition to a number of in vitro studies supporting this concept, in vivo studies with amyloid precursor protein (APP) transgenic mice indicate that apoE and a related molecule, clusterin (also called apolipoprotein J), have profound effects on the onset of Abeta deposition, as well as the local toxicity associated with Abeta deposits both in the brain parenchyma and in cerebral blood vessels. Taken together, these studies suggest that altering the expression of apoE and clusterin in the brain or the interactions between these molecules and Abeta would alter AD pathogenesis and provide new therapeutic avenues for prevention or treatment of CAA and AD. |
Cleanliness and sanitation are two hallmarks of civilization. Many centuries ago, the Roman empire constructed aquaducts and rudimentary sewage systems to carry water into Rome and carry waste away. Early Puritans here in America, claimed that "cleanliness is next to Godliness". The rate of post-operative deaths dropped dramatically when it was established that sterilization of the doctor's hands and of the operation site before the operation had a direct relation to the patient's recovery. Therefore, cleanliness makes sense to most people for a variety of reasons: the appearance of cleanliness is appealing; cleanliness signifies a degree of refinement; and cleanliness is necessary for sound hygene and sanitary practices.
Today in western civilization, most of us are accustomed to and expect cleanliness in homes, hotels, and even the service stations that we frequent. A filthy washroom in a commercial establishment is both disgusting and unforgettable, particularly if it is in a restaurant. Over the years, many national oils companies have realized the positive attraction of clean restrooms in their service stations and consequently base a portion of their advertising budget on a claim for spotless washrooms. Other commercial establishments have followed suit, realizing that spotless restroom facilities are essential not only for health reasons, but also as a statement of the general service to their customers, by they diners, hotel guests, or movie watchers.
In the domestic area, housewives and single people are also concerned with maintaining a clean bathroom. Again, there is the omnipresent concern for health reasons, particularly if there are small children present in the home. No American is unaware of the state of the bathroom when visitors arrive: the proliferation of toilet bowl cleaners, deodorizers, and blueing agents on the market attest to the public's desire for a clean bathroom.
Unfortunately, due to the basic design of the toilet, it is difficult to keep it clean for any period of time. The area around the inside rim of the toilet bowl is virtually inaccessible, and invites the lodging and multiplication of waste bacteria and germs. Therefore, even a toilet that looks clean may not be truly sterile, as the bacteria clings to the underside of the rim. The more clean this troublesome area is, the longer the entire toilet bowl looks and stays clean.
It is known in the prior art to use a brush and caustic cleaning compound to achieve manual cleaning of soiled porcelain surfaces of the toilet bowl. |
Previously known as The Noble House of Akerson. There's a vampire that stalks Angelie Jeinstein's villiage, preying on the young women of the clan. As a priestess it's Angelie's job to prevent the attacks. Full summary in Profile. Please review!
With a heavy sigh the priestess turned to face the south. Shadows danced in the absence of the Sun, twisting in an intricate dance with one another, and joining with the dim light the fire gave out. A small shudder began at the base of her spine, traveling up her body and giving her goose flesh. She rubbed her arms quickly to try and get rid of it. He was there, in the south, waiting for the Sun to truly disappear before he came out to hunt. The woman turned away, and instead she focused her attention on the young woman under her care. Said girl ran up to the Priestess, and opened her clasped hands. A little bird peeked out cautiously, its beady eyes fixating on the Priestess.
"Fiona I did it!" The young woman said happily, her face glowing with pride. Fiona smiled and held her wrinkled hands out for the bird to hop into. With a little hesitation the young animal did so, still looking at Fiona.
"That's excellent Angelie. You can go now and do as you please. Just remember what you learned today."
Angelie nodded and, without a further glance, ran off towards a small hut, flinging the cloth door open and disappearing inside. Fiona walked over towards a tall tree and placed the bird on the lowest branch gently, watching the little animal walk down the lean wood awkwardly. Fiona turned away, her mind still processing the information that the clan leader, Baron, had told her several hours before. The last girl had been taken last night while they all slept, the fifth one that month. He couldn't be controlled, and no matter what they tried he wouldn't stop. If anything, it just made matters worse whenever they tried to reason with him.
Fiona walked over to Baron's tent, knocking softly on the side before walking inside. He looked up quickly to see who it was before turning his attention back to a piece of paper in his hands. She looked over his shoulder at it, loopy handwriting stretching leisurely across the paper in black ink.
"He won't stop will he?" She said softly.
Baron read aloud from the paper, "'Dear Clan Members, I have decided not to do as you ask me to. What I choose to do with the women of yours and other clans is my own business, and it would be wise for you not to get involved. I do deeply regret that it has come to this, but the next time you attempt to stop me I will take a harsh course of action that you will not like. Sincerely, James Akerson'" The man scoffed loudly, "Who does he think he is, honestly? He talks to us like we're some class beneath him, as if we're uneducated animals who can be easily bullied."
Fiona nodded and pardoned herself from the tent to leave Baron to his brooding self. A plan was developing in her mind. Her eyes fell upon Angelie and a young man beside her. William Cooper, son of Elizabeth and Edward Cooper. The two had been friends since they had found out that the opposite gender did not have 'cooties'. The memory brought a small smile to her face. William was staring at Angelie, his face in rapt concentration at whatever she was telling him. Angelie smiled at him kindly, leaning over to kiss him gently on the cheek. The boy blushed bright red, making Angelie laugh. Fiona hurried her pace, all but ripping open the cloth door to her hut. In her haste she accidentally knocked down the cloth but her attention was elsewhere.
She quickly preoccupied herself with searching for an old book, tearing her room apart in order to find it.
"Aha! There you are," Fiona said when her hand clasped the spine of the book. Several of the pages were falling out so she flipped through them with care.
"Lets see, where is that spell?" She asked herself. She sat down, still looking through it, a small smile washing across her face when she found it.
"Lets see. Banishing Spell requirements, a full moon, black clothing preferably a black dress for priestesses or a black robe for a priest," she read aloud, eyes scanning the page. The conditions were perfect for the spell, all requirements easily filled. Even the age was easy. But to do it meant to put Angelie at risk. Fiona looked over at the girl through the open doorway in her hut. Her brow furrowed. She had to go through with it.
"Angelie, can you come here love?" The woman called out. Angelie looked over at her and nodded, excusing herself from William and walking over.
"What is it Fiona?"
"You are aware of the current situation we have with the vampire, correct?" Fiona asked, avoiding the question. Angelie answered yes, and Fiona went to explain further, "Would you be willing to participate in a ritual to banish him?"
"Yes, of course," Angelie said, "You don't need to ask, I'll do it if it helps."
Fiona stood up smiling, "Good girl. Let's go get you fit for some clothing then, shall we?" Angelie agreed and walked with the elder woman to the Clan's seamstress.
Several hours later Angelie stood within a circle made of stones, her arms thrown up in the air. Fiona watched onward as the young priestess recited the words Fiona had taught her. Angelie's eyes were closed in a sign of meditation, her breathing uneven as the adrenaline of the spell rushed through her body. Everyone was within their huts, giving the two priestesses their space for the ritual.
What was next Fiona could hardly tell. All there seemed to be time for was a scream right before something was shoved in to her throat, choking her. Angelie's eyes snapped open and her scream echoed after Fiona's. The men of the clan poured out just as the intruder grabbed a hold of Angelie.
The author would like to thank you for your continued support. Your review has been posted. |
Q:
Anchoring and Docking Controls in java Swing
In .net there is a control called anchoring that is used to resize controls dynamically with the form. When a control is anchored to a form and the form is resized, the control maintains the distance between the control and the anchor positions.
My question is that is there any controls in java that does same functionality as anchoring in .net.
As for an example i have selected a textfield and put it on the panel and resized it properly.
Now when i change the size of window(JFrame) or maximize the window the textfield will not maintain the same distance as it was previously.
I have been using netbeans and i havent found any properties in pallete manager that answers my question.
Please explain me with an example or some links.

Java Swing uses Layout Managers to manage the size and postion of visual components.
This is the official java tutorial on how to use this Layout managers:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/using.html
And there is a brief description of the most common layout managers
FlowLayout (default): it disposes the components left to right and up to down.
BorderLayout: it divides the container in NORTH, SOUTH, WEST, EAST center CENTER. Only one component by position. Components on border expands and the center component uses the space avaiable
GridLayout: you initialice the manager indicating how many rows and cols the grid is going to have. Each cell has same size and you start adding component on the top left cell.
GridBagLayout: the MOST fine grained layout manager, you can do anything with this, but is a bit complicated, see the java documentation for it.
NullLayout (when you nullify the container's layout manayer): no layout manager, components uses the location and size properties to show on components.
And of course, containers inside in other containers can use a different layout manager than their parent. Combining layout managers is a difficult art to learn.

Morphology of cystic structures seen in leprosy biopsy suspensions kept at cooler temperatures.
Cystic structures were seen in good numbers in biopsy suspensions obtained from leprosy patients and kept at cooler temperature. The structures were found arranged in singles, clusters or straight lines. In clusters, small round structures were seen surrounding a large spherical body. The small cystic bodies appeared empty, the medium sized bodies showed fine particles while the large ones showed spherules in and around them. It appears that the seed structure of the cycle emerges from the large spherical bodies. |
These Macadamias were ok,I probably wouldn't buy them again,even it's on sale,mostly because of the high salt content,the nuts were nut large and the roasting was not great.All in all they were just too salty. |
This invention relates to a gripper device for thin, plate-like parts, especially sheet-metal parts, with a plurality of suction cups disposed on the underside of a carrier frame.
Gripper devices with suction cups are frequently used in industry to separate and/or change the position of thin, plate-like parts such as e.g. sheet-metal parts. They are particularly suitable for use in combination with robots when the aim is to achieve a largely automated method of working.
Where gripper devices of the said type are not intended to be used exclusively with one and the same plate-like part, the positions of the suction cups have to be adjustable to a certain degree. For this purpose the suction cups may be disposed on star or cross-shaped carrier frames with arms that can be adjusted, and, in particular, can be extended and retracted radially. It is necessary in particular to be able to make adjustments in order to take account of the bending characteristics of very thin plates, or to position the suction cups against the flat surfaces of three-dimensional parts.
Until now, the adjustment process has been mainly carried out by hand. When parts have to be changed frequently, however, this procedure is no longer feasible for economical reasons. To date, largely automatable solutions have comprised positioning motors with relatively precise position transducers and appropriate gears for adjusting the suction caps. These solutions were relatively complex and costly. They also tended to increase the weight of the carrier frame and were therefore also associated with disadvantages from the energy consumption point of view.
The invention is based on the task of equipping a gripper device of the above type, i.e. one which is used in conjunction with a robot, with a simple, cost-effective means of adjusting the suction cups.
According to the invention, this task is solved by a gripper device of the above type which is characterized in that the suction cups are fixed to the outer ends of four gear racks which are disposed as a cross and can be displaced longitudinally along two superimposed planes, in that in the centre of the cross formed by the racks, mounted in a vertical axis, there is a toothed gear which extends over both superimposed planes, in that the gear racks engage with the toothed gear in pairs from diametrically opposed sides, and in that a control rod with a gear rack profile engages with the toothed gear on a third plane, said control rod having an engaging device at one radially external end.
In a mechanism of this type, the gear racks are adjusted radially in that the engaging member is made to engage with a fixed point in the vicinity of the gripper device, and the gripper device is then moved horizontally by the associated robot in such a way that the control rod is displaced radially towards the exterior or the interior. When the control rod is displaced longitudinally the toothed gear rotates, and the rotation of the toothed gear extends or retracts the four gear racks.
The gear racks are preferably positioned between top and bottom clamping plates, between which they are displaced within longitudinal guides. Once the correct adjustment has been found for the gear racks, they can be clamped in position by clamping the clamping plates together. Air cylinders are provided for this purpose on top of the top clamping plate or underneath the bottom clamping plate, whose piston rods run through the corresponding clamping plate and are connected with the opposite clamping plate. |
President Obama to Ron Johnson: Stop Playing Politics with SCOTUS and Do Your Job!
MADISON – President Obama went on WISN today to tell Senator Johnson to stop playing Washington games with the Supreme Court. The President gave Johnson a refresher in the Constitution saying, “There’s nothing in the Constitution that says if you’re in an election year the President shall not make a nomination. It says the opposite — it says you shall and then it says the Senate shall advise and consent.”
Johnson is in lockstep with Senator Mitch McConnell and refuses to do his job and vote on the President’s SCOTUS nominee. He’s told Wisconsinites to just “move on” because “it’s not going to happen,” even though poll after poll shows voters want the Senate to act. Johnson is more concerned with the opinions of his ultra-conservative colleagues than Wisconsinites. He told reporters on Sunday, “I know the people that voted for me want to make sure that I only will confirm a judge, not a super-legislator…there’s no pressure on me,” to act on the nomination.
One thought on “President Obama to Ron Johnson: Stop Playing Politics with SCOTUS and Do Your Job!”
President Obama spoke with clarity to Senator Johnson on the obligation of the senator to consider Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court. The word “shall” is imperative. It was imperative for Obama to name a nominee. It is imperative for Johnson to consider that nominee.
Johnson has looked like a pretzel in his twisted explanations of denial to perform what is clearly his duty in this regard.
You have time to get straight, Ron, if you goose Mitch Mac and Chuck Grassly into holding a hearing and taking a vote on the nominee. |
At least two rockets have hit an area south of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, that houses the Defence Ministry and presidential palace, according to the state-run news agency.
Witnesses said one of the rockets fell only a few metres from an entrance to the presidential palace in Baabda on Friday.There were no casualties from the apparent attacks.
The other rocket damaged a private residence there.
It was not immediately clear who fired them or from where.
Alain Aoun, Member of Free Patriotic Movement parliamentary bloc, said the attack meant there were no areas in the country that were considered safe from these sorts of attacks.
The blasts were the latest in a series of rocket attacks that have targeted areas just south of Beirut n the past two months, a direct fallout from the civil war in neighbouring Syria.
Lebanon is deeply divided between supporters and opponents of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The attack comes on the same day that President Michel Suleiman gave a speech for Army Day in which he criticised the involvement of the Lebanese Hezbollah group in the Syrian civil war in support of Assad's forces.
Suleiman called for Hezbollah's weapons to be folded under that of the Lebanese army.
The group has a formidable weapons arsenal that rivals that of the national army.
In June, a Grad rocket fired from north of Beirut exploded near the city and the army found a second rocket at the launch site.
And in May, two rockets hit Hezbollah's hub in Beirut shortly after the group's leader made a speech defending the movement's participation in Syria's conflict. |

Bacterial meningitis: fluid balance and therapy.
Fluid administration in children with meningitis should be conservative in an attempt to minimize cerebral edema and electrolyte disturbances that frequently complicate the course of meningitis. Since these complications have been shown to correlate with poor neurologic outcome, it is believed that appropriate fluid management will minimize the morbidity and mortality associated with bacterial meningitis in children. |
Changes in γ-H2AX expression in irradiated feline sarcoma cells: an indicator of double strand DNA breaks.
Feline injection site sarcoma (ISS) is a highly invasive soft tissue tumor that is commonly treated with radiation. Cellular deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the principal target for the biologic effects of radiation with cell killing correlating to the number of double stranded DNA breaks (DSBs). The objective of this study was to determine if radiation-induced damage to feline ISS cells could be detected using a commercially available DNA DSB detection kit. Feline ISS cells were irradiated and evaluated for extent of DSB induction with a γ-H2AX chemiluminescent kit; results were validated by Western Blot analysis. Irradiated cells showed a significant increase in double strand break induction compared to control cells, which was supported by Western Blot. DNA damage in feline sarcoma cells following single exposure of radiation can be indirectly detected using a commercially available mouse anti-human monoclonal antibody for γ-H2AX. |
Q:
Ruby, query active model dynamically
I have an Order model in my ruby on rails application which has several attributes. I want to query those orders according to parameters given by users such as itemCount, totalPrice and created date.
If one of those attributes is given, I mean it's not nil, I need to query model by using it.
I can do something like:
if params[:totalPrice] and params[:itemCount] and params[:created_date]
@product = Product.where(totalPrice: params[:totalPrice],itemCount: params[:itemCount],created_date: params[:created_date])
elsif params[:totalPrice] and params[:itemCount]
@product = Product.where(totalPrice: params[:totalPrice],itemCount: params[:itemCount])
elsif params[:totalPrice] and params[:created_date]
@product = Product.where(totalPrice: params[:totalPrice],created_date: params[:created_date])
elsif params[:itemCount] and params[:created_date]
@product = Product.where(itemCount: params[:itemCount],created_date: params[:created_date])
elseif ....(and continues)
However, I can't be sure about that. Maybe there is there a "Ruby" way to achieve that problem.
What is the best practice to do that,
Thanks.
A:
You can chain the different scopes with ActiveRecord:
@products = Product.all
@products = @products.where(totalPrice: params[:totalPrice]) if params[:totalPrice]
@products = @products.where(itemCount: params[:itemCount]) if params[:itemCount]
@products = @products.where(created_date: params[:created_date]) if params[:created_date]
# etc...
And this can easily be dynamic (but white-listed):
filterable_columns = %i(itemCount totalPrice created_date)
@products = Product.all
filterable_columns.each do |column|
@products = @products.where(column => params[column]) if params[column]
end

A cloud platform (i.e., a computing platform for cloud computing) may be employed by many users to store, manage, and process data using a shared network of remote servers. Users may develop applications on the cloud platform to handle the storage, management, and processing of data. In some cases, the cloud platform may utilize a multi-tenant database system. Users may access the cloud platform using various user devices (e.g., desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, or other computing systems, etc.).
In one example, the cloud platform may support customer relationship management (CRM) solutions. This may include support for sales, service, marketing, community, analytics, applications, and the Internet of Things. A user may utilize the cloud platform to help manage contacts of the user. For example, managing contacts of the user may include analyzing data, storing and preparing communications, and tracking opportunities and sales.
In some systems, a user device may run an application within a webpage (e.g., as an embedded component of the container webpage). In order to run the application, the user device may retrieve resources for the application from a server or database (e.g., associated with the cloud platform). In some cases, for data security purposes, a user device may only access these resources after passing an authentication procedure. However, authenticating the user device to access the resources for the embedded application may authenticate the entire browser session, allowing other un-affiliated applications access to the resources and resulting in security risks for the resources. |
Scientists say that they found worrisome levels of benzene in the air in some Houston-area neighborhoods. But it’s where it may have come from that surprised them.
In February of last year, researchers drove three vans around the communities of Galena Park and Manchester on Houston's east side. The vans were packed with high-tech equipment that measured the air for toxic vapors. Computers then used weather data to pinpoint likely sources.
The researchers say they found spikes of benzene, a chemical linked to cancer. The benzene vapors were approaching unsafe levels for short term exposure and far exceeded safe limits for long term exposure.
The scientists say they suspected the benzene was coming from the big refineries and terminals along the Houston Ship Channel where crude oil, which contains benzene, is loaded to and from huge tanks and barges.
But the scientists say they traced much of the benzene to something else: pipelines that carry crude and other related products.
"This was something of a surprise to us," says Eduardo Olaguer, the scientist who led the project at the Houston Advanced Research Center.
"It turned out when we superimposed a graphics based on the existing pipeline database over our findings, oh, we see these huge spikes right on top of the pipeline system," Olaguer told Houston Public Media.
That system of pipelines and the benzene spikes can be seen in a map included in the technical paper published this month in the Journal of the Air and Waste Management Association.
Olaguer says what they found needs more research but should be a wake-up call for government regulators. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality told Houston Public Media it will take a look at the study and evaluate it.

[Physiopathology of meningoencephalitis caused by Cryptococcus neoformans].
Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated yeast mainly responsible for meningoencephalitis, especially in AIDS patients. Recent observations using an experimental model of systemic cryptococcosis that mimics the human infection have reinforced the knowledge on the pathogenesis of cryptococcosis. Cryptococcosis may occur several years after inhalation of infecting particles from the environment. A stage of fungemia that reflects the dissemination of infection usually precedes the development of meningoencephalitis. The capsule mainly composed of glucuronoxylomannan constitutes the main virulence factor of C. neoformans. It has several deleterious effects including the inhibition of the host immune responses. The central nervous system involvement differs between AIDS patients and HIV-negative patients. In AIDS patients, histological studies of the brain show numerous cryptococci without significant inflammatory cell response. In other immunodepressed hosts, a granulomatous inflammation containing few yeasts is usually seen. This may reflect an altered local immunological defect against C. neoformans in AIDS patients with cryptococcosis. |

Food Allergy Tattoos for Kids Could Save Lives
SafetyTat is a temporary tattoo designed to alert parents and teachers to a child’s food allergies
SafetyTat
These allergy alert tattoos are bright and easy to apply.
No more double-guessing on field trips and during birthday parties if Johnny is allergic to red dye. Allergy SafetyTat creates a safe and innovative way for kids to quickly communicate their allergies and intolerances to a nearby adult without saying a word. The tattoos are brightly-colored red and yellow, and list “Medical Attention” information, as well as an “In Case of Emergency” phone number, so that parents can rest easy when their children are out of their sight and within reach of nuts and food dye.
SafetyTat was created by Michele Welsh, whose nephew has a potentially fatal nut allergy. After multiple trips to the ER, Welsh came up with a way to prevent food allergy attacks. The company also makes similar tattoos for safety in case a child is lost, and the tattoos can be applied by a parent at a moment’s notice without water.
“It became apparent that there had to be a way to make sure those around my nephew knew of his condition to help prevent an accidental exposure to any foods that contain nuts,” Welsh told The Daily Meal. “We created Allergy and Medical Alert SafetyTat tattoos in response to our own experiences.” |
American Dipper (displaying the nictitating membrane, an additional translucent eyelid that allows the creature to see while affording its eyes additional protection. This is especially handy for birds that search for food underwater and for birds of prey flying at high speed, as it prevents their eyes from drying out. |
It started off as a peaceful protest. He had gone to share a message of love and acceptance. (He said that he wanted to prove that love trumps hate.) Even though he didn’t support the same political aspirations as most of the crowd, he shared some of their views. He was disappointed with the current administration and was disgruntled with the establishment. Like the crowd, he felt it was time for an outsider to rise up and make the nation great again.
Now, I should be honest and say that my friend — prior to all the controversy — had a pretty big following. A lot of people liked and shared what he said. He was relatively well-known and had a relatively large amount of influence. And he was trying to use that influence to start a movement. He wanted to change the system.
Why? Because unlike most of the crowd, he had a great deal of sympathy for the oppressed — women, minorities, and immigrants. (My friend was a refugee from the Middle East.) He worried about what might happen if he didn’t take a stand against the violent rhetoric he had been hearing. So he went into the chaos, into the crowd, and he stood. That is when things got ugly.
Needless to say, his message was not well received. Of course, he knew this would happen. Heck, he had been making comments about tearing down walls, not building them. He wanted to let people in; they wanted to keep people out. He knew it would be tense. But I don’t think he knew it would get as bad as it did.
He was pushed and slapped and spit on as he made his way through the crowd. One guy mocked him for his religion and another guy called him a terrorist. Then it got really, really bad. The “aspiring politician” called him out in front of everybody. He compared my friend to a murderer, an enemy of the state. And the saddest part? When he did that, the crowd went crazy. They began chanting…
“Crucify him! Crucify him!”
He died a few hours later.

Boar Bristle Brush
Consistent beard brushing will increase blood flow to the hair follicles, which will improve skin health and increase hair growth. A boar bristle brush prevents oil build-up at the scalp, which weights hair down and makes it look greasy. Boar bristles naturally condition hair by carrying sebum (a natural oil produced by the scalp) to the end of the hair shaft, making your beard look fuller and more legendary.
How to use: Brush from the cheek where your beard begins, all the way down to the bottom of your beard, from root to tip. Repeat on the underside, from your neck, down to the end of your beard hair. |

The Plantar Ligaments (ligamenta accessoria plantaria; glenoid ligaments of Cruveilhier).The plantar ligaments are thick, dense, fibrous structures. They are placed on the plantar surfaces of the joints in the intervals between the collateral ligaments, to which they are connected; they are loosely united to the metatarsal bones, but very firmly to the bases of the first phalanges. Their plantar surfaces are intimately blended with the transverse metatarsal ligament, and grooved for the passage of the Flexor tendons, the sheaths surrounding which are connected to the sides of the grooves. Their deep surfaces form part of the articular facets for the heads of the metatarsal bones, and are lined by synovial membrane.
The Collateral Ligaments (ligamenta collateralia; lateral ligaments).The collateral ligaments are strong, rounded cords, placed one on either side of each joint, and attached, by one end, to the posterior tubercle on the side of the head of the metatarsal bone, and, by the other, to the contiguous extremity of the phalanx. |

Scientists Create Street Light That Mimics Humans To Trap Mosquitoes
The mosquito is without a doubt one of the most annoying things about warm weather. Every time the seasons change, you’ll get so excited about it being warm again that you forget about mosquitoes until you get bit on the foot whilst sitting around a bonfire. That may seem annoying, but mosquitoes also carry diseases like Malaria and West Nile. Now, there is something even worse hitching a ride with the mosquito: The Zika Virus.
To try and counter the explosion of this virus, scientists from the University of Malaysia may have created a way to prevent the spread of this virus that has shown up all over the world — a street lamp that mimics a human being to trap the douche bag of the insect world.
The LED street lamp invention produces low levels of carbon dioxide by combining U.V. light with titanium dioxide. What this does is emulate the smell of a human being. If you’ve ever used those sprays to keep mosquitoes away, what that does is masks your odor to them so they don’t notice you. It may make you smell weird, but slapping yourself and risking something isn’t a better option.
Once the mosquito is attracted to the smell of the lamp giving off the odor, they enter capture windows where they’re sucked into a capture net by a fan. Have a look at the lamp:
The lamps are also green and energy efficient. It uses the Eco-Greenery outdoor lighting system, which is designed to gather energy from wind and solar so it can off-set the small amounts of carbon it emits to trap the mosquitoes in the lamp. The lamp is also designed to work in flooding situations, which will also notify rescue teams to the flood levels.
This lamp is not only a good thing to stop mosquitoes and the spread of disease worldwide, it’s also something that will pay for itself that impoverished nations would need. The spread of diseases and viruses from mosquitoes is monumental, so the thought of having these on every street corner could put millions of families at ease.

Image forming devices commonly include a plurality of motor control systems to drive various image forming components. For example, one motor control system may be used to drive one or more photoconductive members, including drums, plates, or belts, while another motor control system may be used to drive another component, such as a transport belt, intermediate transfer belt, developer roller, or transfer roller. Furthermore, in some image forming devices, the image forming components are placed in moving contact with one another.
Various considerations arise during the initial startup and acceleration of the image forming components from rest to a process speed. For example, friction exists at the contact surface between components if one component accelerates at a faster rate than another. Significant amounts of friction may produce excessive heat, wear, and power consumption. Another concern relates to image quality. Ideally, image-forming components that are placed in moving contact with one another move at substantially uniform surface speeds with respect to one another. Image smear or image misregistration may result if an image transfer occurs between components that are not at a desired speed or position. Generally, once components reach a steady-state process speed, their respective motor control systems can control the speed and/or position of the components within desired limits. However, when components are accelerating, matching surface speeds may be difficult.
In addition, backlash in a motor gear train may contribute to position errors. Generally, backlash in a gear train should be removed in order for a motor to positively drive a component and for an associated motor control system to control the speed and position of that component. Unfortunately, in certain instances, the interplay of accelerating components that are in contact with one another can have an effect on backlash in one or both of the gear trains driving these components. For example, a first image-forming component may drive a second, adjacent component ahead of the motor that is driving that second component. This situation may result in a lack of control over the speed and/or position of the second component since its motor and associated motor control system are not actually driving that second component. Poor image quality may result for a period of time until the motor control system for that second component causes the motor to eliminate the backlash and positively engage the gear train to drive the second component. In some systems, it may take several printed pages to resolve this misregistration problem. Additional registration errors may ensue if a registration calibration procedure is performed in the image-forming device before the backlash is eliminated in one or more component drive trains. |
Transcription factor binding at immunoglobulin enhancers is linked to somatic hypermutation targeting.
Secondary diversification of the immunoglobulin (Ig) repertoire occurs through somatic hypermutation (SHM), gene conversion (GCV), and class switch recombination (CSR)-three processes that are initiated by activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID). AID targets Ig genes at rates orders of magnitude higher than the rest of the genome, but the basis for this specificity is poorly understood. We have previously demonstrated that enhancers and enhancer-like sequences from Ig genes are capable of stimulating SHM of neighboring genes in a capacity distinct from their roles in increasing transcription. Here, we use an in vitro proteomics approach to identify E-box, MEF2, Ets, and Ikaros transcription factor family members as potential binders of these enhancers. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays in the hypermutating Ramos B cell line confirmed that many of these factors bound the endogenous Igλ enhancer and/or the IgH intronic enhancer (Eμ) in vivo. Further investigation using SHM reporter assays identified binding sites for E2A and MEF2B in Eμ and demonstrated an association between loss of factor binding and decreases in the SHM stimulating activity of Eμ mutants. Our results provide novel insights into trans-acting factors that dictate SHM targeting and link their activity to specific DNA binding sites within Ig enhancers.

Ethical review in Pakistan: the credibility gap.
The concept of mandatory ethical review of research involving human participants is gradually taking root in Pakistani institutions. Based on the opinions of Institutional Review Board (IRB) members from institutions across the country, the process faces several challenges which threaten its integrity. The lack of registration or accreditation for IRBs has resulted in a wide variation in the calibre and working of such Boards. Despite the recent growth in numbers of people with formal bioethics degrees in the country, a majority of membership remains without any formal training for the work expected from them in ethical review. External pressures to influence deliberations, conflict of interest issues within board leadership and inconsistent application of review requirements all contribute in undermining the reliability of the process. Some of the most significant threats to independent and uninfluenced functioning of such boards arise from institutional leadership itself. In the opinions of IRB members, the review process has to be uniform, consistent and trustworthy if it is to gain the respect of researchers, and IRB need to be given the autonomous space to make independent decisions. Otherwise there is a real danger of IRBs being relegated to being no more than rubber stamping committees. |
Interpretation of synovial fluid data.
The routine battery of tests for synovial fluid analysis includes culture and Gram staining, polarizing microscopy, and total WBC and differential counts. If the volume of fluid collected is low, culture and polarizing microscopy have highest priority. Synovial fluid data are diagnostic in only two diseases: septic arthritis and crystal-induced arthritis. In traumatic arthritis, degenerative joint disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus, synovial fluid data may provide evidence supporting the diagnosis. |
Older migrants reflecting on aging through attachment to and identification with places.
With increasing numbers of older migrants adopting a transnational lifestyle or returning to their country of origin following retirement, the sense of attachment to and identification with the places they inhabit remains an under explored field of enquiry. Through an ethnographic approach, this paper seeks to raise awareness of the diversity within a group of older migrants, given the heterogeneity of affective bonds established with places. By highlighting the perspective of older Italian migrants living in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, this paper illustrates the role of a sense of identification with the context of migration in later life. In referring to migration as a process of transformation, some older Italians re-define their identities, as these become interwoven with the characteristics of the places in which they grow older. However, older migrants' sense of attachment to places also reveals the complexity of aging in the context of migration, when a sense of identification with these is never fully achieved in older age. This paper argues that the notion of aging that these older Italian migrants uphold is not only altered by their experience of migration, but also shaped through their identification with the places they inhabit, given formal and informal practices of identification. Thus, by addressing the determinants for a positive experience of aging in the context of migration, this paper challenges the ways in which older migrant groups are conceptualized in gerontological scholarship. |
This invention relates generally to the field of dentistry. More specifically, the present invention relates to a posterior tooth shade guide and a method of selecting characterization for a tooth prosthesis.
Accurate communication between dentists and laboratories that manufacture tooth prostheses has been a subject of continuous concern as technology progresses. When instructing the laboratory to construct a tooth prosthesis, it is desirable to manufacture the prosthesis in such a manner that it is virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding natural teeth.
Many manufacturers of tooth prostheses provide performes samples of multi-color, multi-layer fabricated teeth as references for color. The dentist may communicate to the lab regarding the desired color of the tooth prosthesis utilizing a shade guide having a number of these fabricated teeth for reference. In this regard, the dentist typically holds a sample tooth against the mouth in an attempt to find the closest sample to the natural tooth.
Such dental shade guides typically include a number of anterior tooth-shaped and detailed samples that neither resembled posterior teeth nor have the descriptive details of posterior teeth. These anterior tooth samples are used by the dentists for both anterior and posterior tooth color matching.
The prior shade guides are inadequate for purposes of describing the unique characterizations that posterior teeth have and which are not usually found with anterior teeth. In particular, to manufacture a tooth prosthesis for a posterior tooth, characteristics such as the brown stain, the white stain, and the color of the incisal should be taken into account.
Accordingly, there has been a need for a posterior tooth shade guide and method of selecting characterization for a tooth prosthesis which can simply, yet effectively, facilitate accurate communication of the desired characteristics of a tooth prosthesis from the dentist to the laboratory. The present invention fulfills these needs and provides other related advantages. |

Expression of the Stp1 LMW-PTP and inhibition of protein CK2 display a cooperative effect on immunophilin Fpr3 tyrosine phosphorylation and Saccharomyces cerevisiae growth.
Although the yeast genome does not encode bona fide protein tyrosine kinases, tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins are numerous, suggesting that besides dual-specificity kinases, some Ser/Thr kinases are also committed to tyrosine phosphorylation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here we show that blockage of the highly pleiotropic Ser/Thr kinase CK2 with a specific inhibitor synergizes with the overexpression of Stp1 low-molecular-weight protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) in inducing a severe growth-defective phenotype, consistent with a prominent role for CK2 in tyrosine phosphorylation in yeast. We also present in vivo evidence that immunophilin Fpr3, the only tyrosine-phosphorylated CK2 substrate recognized so far, interacts with and is dephosphorylated by Spt1. These data disclose a functional correlation between CK2 and LMW-PTPs, and suggest that reversible phosphorylation of Fpr3 plays a role in the regulation of growth rate and budding in S. cerevisiae. |

Q:
How to segment a database for an application accessing it (a.k.a. single database for multiple users problem)?
I have built a web application for one user, but now I would like to offer it to many users (it's an application for photographer(s)).
Multiple databases problems
I first did this by creating an application for each user, but this has many problems, like:
Giving access to a new user can't be automated (or is very difficult) since I have to create a subdomain, a database, initial tables, copy code to a new location, etc. This is tedious to do by hand!
I can't as easily create reports and statistics of usage, like how many projects do my users have, how many photos, etc.
Single database problems
But having just one database for each users creates it's own problems in code:
Now I have to change the DB schema to accommodate extra users, like the projects table having a user_id column (the same goes for some other tables like settings, etc.).
I have to look at almost each line of code that accesses the database and edit the SQL for selecting and inserting, so that I sava data for that specific user, at the same time doing joins so that I check permissions (select ... from projects inner join project_users ... where user_id = ?).
If I forget to do that at one spot in the code it means security breach or another unpleasant thing (consider showing user's projects by just doing select * from projects like I used to do - it will show all users' projects).
Backup: backup is harder because there's more data for the whole database and if a user says: "hey, I made a mistake today, can you revert the DB to yesterday", I can't as easily do that.
A solution?
I have read multiple questions on stackoverflow and have decided that I should go the "single database" route. But I'd like to get rid of the problems, if it's possible.
So I was thinking if there was a way to segment my database somehow so that I don't get these nasty (sometimes invisible) bugs?
I can reprogram the DB access layer if needed, but I'm using SQLs and not OO getter and setter methods.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A:
I don't think there's a silver bullet on this one - though there are some things you can do.
Firstly, you could have your new design use a different MySQL user, and deny that user "select" rights on tables that should only be accessed through joins with the "users" table. You can then create a view which joins the two tables together, and use that whenever you run "select" queries. This way, if you forget a query, it will fail spectacularly, instead of silently. You can of course also limit insert, update and delete in this way - though that's a lot harder with a view.
Edit
So, if your application currently connects as "web_user", you could revoke select access on the projects table from that user. Instead, you'd create a view "projects_for_users", and grant "select" permissions on that view to a new user - "photographer", perhaps. The new user should also not have select access to "projects".
You could then re-write the application's data access step by step, and you'd be sure that you'd caught every instance where your app selects projects, because it would explode when trying to retrieve data - neither of your users would have "select" permissions on the projects table.
As a little side bonus - the select permission is also required for updates with a where clause, so you'd also be able to find instances where the application updates the project table without having been rewritten.
Secondly, you want to think about the provisioning process - how will you grant access to the system to new users? Who does this? Again, by separating the database user who can insert records into "users", you can avoid stupid bugs where page in your system does more than you think it does. With this kind of system, there are usually several steps that make up the provisioning process. Make sure you separate out the privileges for those tasks from the regular user privileges.
Edit
Provisioning is the word for setting up a service for a new user (I think it comes from the telephony world, where phone companies will talk about provisioning a new service on an existing phone line). It usually includes a whole bunch of business processes - and each step in the process must succeed for the next one to start. So, in your app, you may need to set up a new user account, validate their email address, set up storage space etc. Each of those steps needs to be considered as a step in the process, not just a single task.
Finally, while you're doing this, you may as well think about different levels of privilege. Will your system merit different types of user? Photographers, who can upload work, reviewers who can't? If that's a possible feature extension, you may want to build support for that now, even if the only type of user you support on go-live is photographer.

Q:
compiling java package classes. Cannot access Class. class file contains wrong class while working with packages
I was trying to compile a few files in a package in java. The package name is library. Please have a look at the following details.
This is my Directory Structure:
javalearning
---library
------ParentClass.java
------ChildClass.java
I tried to compile in the following way:
current directory: javalearning
javac library/ParentClass.java //this compilation works fine
javac library/ChildClass.java //error over here
The following is the ParentClass.java:
package library;
class Parentclass{
...
}
The following is the ChildClass.java:
package library;
class ChildClass extends ParentClass{
...
}
The error is as follows:
cannot access ParentClass
bad class file: .\library\ParentClass.class
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct sub directory of the classpath
A:
You've got a casing issue:
class Parentclass
That's not the same as the filename ParentClass.class, nor is it the same as the class you're trying to use in ChildClass: class ChildClass extends ParentClass.
Java classnames are case-sensitive, but Windows filenames aren't. If the class had been public, the compiler would have validated that the names matched - but for non-public classes, there's no requirement for that.
The fact that you've ended up with ParentClass.class suggests that at some point it was declared as ParentClass, but then you changed the declared name and when recompiling, Windows just overwrote the content of the current file rather than effectively creating Parentclass.class.
Make sure your declared class name exactly matches the filename. You may well want to delete all your class files before recompiling, just to get out of a confusing state.

Characterizing the impact of surfactant structure on interfacial tension: a molecular dynamics study.
The effect of sodium branched-alkylbenzene sulfonates on the NaCl solution/oil interface was studied via classical molecular dynamics simulation. The interfacial properties were found to depend on the surfactant concentration and to change dramatically when the concentration exceeded a critical value, the simulated limit area (A c). When A c is not close to the theoretical saturated adsorption area (A min), the surfactant cannot produce ultralow interfacial tension (IFT). When A c is equal or almost equal to A min, the effect of the structure of the surfactant must be considered to determine if ultralow IFT is possible: if the sizes of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups in the surfactant are similar, the surfactant can produce ultralow interfacial tension (and vice versa). Based on the results of these studies, the effect of surfactant structure on the interfacial properties of the system was investigated, and a method of gauging the IFTs produced by different surfactants was proposed that should prove very useful when designing the optimal surfactant structure to achieve ultralow IFT. Graphical Abstract The interfacial properties of water/surfactant/oil system, such as interfacial thickness and IFT, depending on the surfactant concentration and changing dramatically when the concentration exceed a critical value. |

"Next Generation HALT and HASS" presents a major paradigm shift from reliability prediction-based methods to discovery of electronic systems reliability risks. This is achieved by integrating highly accelerated life test (HALT) and highly accelerated stress screen (HASS) into a physics-of-failure-based robust product and process development methodology. The new methodologies challenge misleading and sometimes costly mis-application of probabilistic failure prediction methods (FPM) and provide a new deterministic map for reliability development. The authors clearly explain the new approach with a logical progression of problem statement and solutions.
The book helps engineers employ HALT and HASS by illustrating why the misleading assumptions used for FPM are invalid. Next, the application of HALT and HASS empirical discovery methods to quickly find unreliable elements in electronics systems gives readers practical insight to the techniques.
The physics of HALT and HASS methodologies are highlighted, illustrating how they uncover and isolate software failures due to hardware-software interactions in digital systems. The use of empirical operational stress limits for the development of future tools and reliability discriminators is described.

Role of the Sln1-phosphorelay pathway in the response to hyperosmotic stress in the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis.
The Kluyveromyces lactis SLN1 phosphorelay system includes the osmosensor histidine kinase Sln1, the phosphotransfer protein Ypd1 and the response regulator Ssk1. Here we show that K. lactis has a functional phosphorelay system. In vitro assays, using a heterologous histidine kinase, show that the phosphate group is accepted by KlYpd1 and transferred to KlSsk1. Upon hyperosmotic stress the phosphorelay is inactivated, KlYpd1 is dephosphorylated in a KlSln1 dependent manner, and only the version of KlSsk1 that lacks the phosphate group interacts with the MAPKKK KlSsk2. Interestingly, inactivation of the KlPtp2 phosphatase in a ΔKlsln1 mutant did not lead to KlHog1 constitutive phosphorylation. KlHog1 can replace ScHog1p and activate the hyperosmotic response in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and when ScSln1 is inactivated, KlHog1 becomes phosphorylated and induces cell lethality. All these observations indicate that the phosphorelay negatively regulates KlHog1. Nevertheless, in the absence of KlSln1 or KlYpd1, no constitutive phosphorylation is detected and cells are viable, suggesting that a strong negative feedback that is independent of KlPtp2 operates in K. lactis. Compared with S. cerevisiae, K. lactis has only a moderate accumulation of glycerol and fails to produce trehalose under hyperosmotic stress, indicating that regulation of osmolyte production is different in K. lactis. |
Q:
How to use BinaryConnection in my module to send and receive data
I have a custom module MyModule with a custom plugin MyPlugin in this plugin I want to send and receive data via a BinaryConnection.
Here is a simplified version of my code
[ServerModule(ModuleName)]
public class ModuleController : ServerModuleBase<ModuleConfig>
{
protected override void OnInitialize()
{
Container.LoadComponents<IMyPlugin>();
}
protected override void OnStart()
{
Container.Resolve<IBinaryConnectionFactory>();
Container.Resolve<IMyPlugin>().Start();
}
}
[Plugin(LifeCycle.Singleton, typeof(IMyPlugin), Name = PluginName)]
public class MyPlugin: IMyPlugin
{
private IBinaryConnection _connection;
public IBinaryConnectionFactory ConnectionFactory { get; set; }
public IBinaryConnectionConfig Config { get; set; }
public void Start()
{
_connection = ConnectionFactory.Create(Config, new MyMessageValidator());
_connection.Received += OnReceivedDoSomething;
_connection.Start();
}
}
When I start the Runtime I get a NullReferenceException because the ConnectionFactory is not injected. Where is my mistake here?
A:
To use the binary connection in your module you can either instantiate TcpClientConnection and TcpListenerConnection manually or use your modules DI-Container, as you already tried and I would recommend.
To use it in your module, you need to register/load the classes into your container. Take a look at how the Resource Management registers them. In your OnInitialize you need:
Container.Register<IBinaryConnectionFactory>(); // Register as factory
Container.LoadComponents<IBinaryConnection>(); // Register implementations
Then you can add either a BinaryConnectionConfig entry to your config and decorate with [PluginConfigs(typeof(IBinaryConnection), false)] to select Socket as well as Client/Server from the MaintenanceWeb or use the derived type TcpClientConfig/TcpListenerConfig directly.
public class ModuleConfig : ConfigBase
{
[DataMember, PluginConfigs(typeof(IBinaryConnection), false)]
public BinaryConnectionConfig ConnectionConfig { get; set; }
}
In you plugin you can then inject IBinaryConnectionFactory and ModuleConfig to create the connection.
public class MyPlugin: IMyPlugin
{
private IBinaryConnection _connection;
public IBinaryConnectionFactory ConnectionFactory { get; set; }
public ModuleConfig Config { get; set; }
public void Start()
{
_connection = ConnectionFactory.Create(Config.ConnectionConfig, new MyMessageValidator());
_connection.Received += OnReceivedDoSomething;
_connection.Start();
}
}
PS: Resolving the factory in OnStart returns an instance, which you don't use and is unnecessary. Don't confuse Resolve(Find registered implementation and create instance) with Register.

The Grey Fox Pub
Grey Fox Cabaret is one of those tricky neighborhood bars that takes you by surprise. The unassuming exterior suggests a neighborhood bar with cheap drinks and maybe a couple flatscreens showing sports. But oh no: Inside is a full-on drag-queen cabaret. The place is divided in two; you enter on the bar side, but beyond the bar, there's a real live theater. The Grey Fox gets insane with bachelorette and birthday parties any night it hosts drag shows (Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with drag kings performing every other Thursday). While its out-of-the-way south-side location should be a deterrent for county folk, you'll still find them here in droves, celebrating with the kind of entertainment that you just can't find outside the city limits. |

• Categorized under Disease | Difference between anti-social and asocial
Anti-social vs Asocial
Psychiatric problems are rising in number in today’s world due to increasing stress levels and decreasing threshold for tolerance. Two similar sounding terms have emerged as people behave differently when faced with social challenges.
Anti-social means against morally appropriate behaviour while asocial means avoidance of social life. Antisocial behaviour is caused by repression of emotions, bad experiences and negative thinking. Asocial behaviour simply develops as one’s attitude towards life. It could be due to introverted nature (keeping one’s feelings to one’s self), autism, and schizophrenia (delusional psychiatric disorder).
Antisocial behaviour is such that it could hurt the people in the society or have a bad impact on the society. It is harmful and negative behaviour. People who commit murder, rape, steal, hurt animals, exhibit violent behavior, all fall under this category. Basically, they do not feel guilty despite their actions that offending people. They do not have sympathy nor do they respect others. They lack the sense of right or wrong. Their behaviour is committed most often with intent of causing harm to others and in very rare cases it is due to neglect. Since childhood they lack morals that a good human being should possess.
Asocial behaviour is seen in people lacking confidence while meeting new people or being anxious of rejection. They avoid social meetings to such a great extent because they do not want to give people a chance to accept or reject them. They will generally prefer doing things all alone rather than making new friends or relations. It becomes a burden for them to handle any sort of relationships. They will have very few friends or no close friends at all. Due to such behaviour they are criticized and looked upon as subnormal individuals. Also, they tend to do constructive things than be anxious in social gatherings. In autism, this type of behaviour is noticed because they cannot express their feelings and also lack necessary skills for communication. They like routinistic things and do not make eye contact which makes them asocial. In schizophrenia, many people become asocial and keep imagining themselves as strong and confident people as a way to reduce peer pressure. They have delusions and hallucinations which take them away from other individuals. Asocial people have fear of being humiliated and hence they develop anxiety and restlessness in social engagements. Asocialism can be observed in individuals who are depressed. They lack interest in day to day activities or hobbies which once gave them immense happiness.
Treatment for antisocial people will be psychotherapy, counseling and drugs if required. Antisocial people have a low threshold for stress and so get frustrated very easily and are impulsive in nature. These people are explained about society norms and how they are expected to behave. They are taught better ways to keep themselves occupied as a way to reduce thefts. They are positively taught ways of being independent and handling stress better. Drugs do not help directly but treat co-morbid conditions like depression etc. Asocial people are taught communication skills which boost their confidence levels during social gatherings. Also, once they efficiently start expressing their emotions, people reciprocate appropriately setting forth a chain of positive future social interactions. This will reduce anxiety levels and encourage them to meet more people.
Summary:
Anti-social behavior and asocial behavior are both caused due to decreased stress management levels. Both are treatable and the person can be normal after treatment. Antisocial behavior will need more of counseling whereas asocial behavior will need more of communicative and socializing skills. |
