Pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders are extensively used in actuator assemblies for moving implements, arms, booms and other components of mobile hydraulic machines such as tractors, combines, excavators, dozers, loader-backhoes, etc.. For example, tractor-mounted implements such as plows are typically supported by hitch assemblies which include hydraulic cylinders for raising and lowering the implements. Harvesting heads on combines, blades on dozers, and buckets on loader-backhoes are further examples of implements typically positioned by hydraulic cylinders.
Electrohydraulic control systems for such actuator assemblies require position feedback signals representing the positions of the implements or mechanical joints being controlled. Some sensing assemblies (e.g., LVDTs) which provide position feedback signals are coupled to implements or mechanical joints using external linkages. External sensing assemblies, however, are subject to external impacts and other environmental influences.
The positions of implements or mechanical joints can also be determined using sensing assemblies internal to the cylinder. The internal sensing assemblies measure the extension of the cylinders which move the implements or mechanical joints. Cylinder extension is determined by measuring the position of the piston within the cylinder housing. The piston, in turn, moves a cylinder rod coupled to the implement or mechanical joint. The position of the implement or the joint is then determined as a function of piston position which depends upon the geometry of the particular mechanical system.
Various forms of apparatus for measuring positions of pistons within hydraulic cylinders are available. For example, the positions of pistons within cylinders have been measured using acoustic signals, radiofrequency (RF) signals and microwave signals with different sensing assemblies and circuit configurations. However, these apparatus suffer from such drawbacks as relatively high complexity and cost, and relatively low reliability, durability and accuracy. |
Q:
I have to read next text (lyrics) and display it when the audio playback time reaches certain value
I have starting time of each sentence spoken in the audio.
I can get the current time of audio using MediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition(). What i want to know is: What class or interface should i use that could monitor audio time contineuously and when it reaches at certain time (my given time) i could read next text and update on TextView.
My Audio files are so long (in MBs) and will be played from sdcard..
Can i use Android.AudioTrack class in static mode, (i am not sure it can be used but read documentation and AudioTrack object size or its buffer size depends upon available memory)
Can MediaPlayer can work this out or some other interface/class etc or some sort of threading..
Please help me with possible idea(s).
ps: i am new to android but crazzzyy about it..
Note [using MediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(..) in can do it at the end of the audio file but as i said i want to to it on certain playback time.]
A:
The downside of AudioTrack is that you need to have decoded audio file (i.e. LPCM data). If your audio files are not in lpcm format (which I doubt they are), than you'll need to somehow decode the data yourself. But tracking progress in this case is an easy task.
But if you're ok with precision times around 200ms, you can try using Handler based timer and check current state of MediaPlayer in that timer. This way you won't need to decode data yourself.
The example Handler based timer: Repeat a task with a time delay?.

Using Contemporary e-Learning Tools to Teach Staff How to Use New Online Documentation Systems.
Medical centers, hospitals, and health care practices are implementing electronic documentation systems and regularly adding new features to these systems. Training users to effectively use these systems in a scalable way has been a challenge. Learners learn at different rates and have different needs. While traditional face to face instruction has been the gold standard, eLearning technologies can provide acceptable alternatives. This poster will demonstrate three eLearning methodologies for training. |
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of cache management and more particularly to management of a distributed caching infrastructure.
Description of the Related Art
In an efficient admissions control and capacity planning policy, minimal resources can be allocated automatically to satisfy the requirements of a specified service level agreement (SLA), leaving the remaining resources for later use. An SLA is an agreement between a computing service provider and a computing service consumer that specifies a minimum level of service to be provided by the service provider on behalf of the consumer. The typical SLA includes one or more network traffic terms that either limit the amount and type of resources that the subscribing customer can consume for a given rate, or guarantee the amount and quality of service (QoS) of resources that the provider will provide to the subscribing customer for a given rate.
For example, a subscribing consumer can agree to an SLA in which the consumer agrees to consume only a particular quantity of network bandwidth offered by the provider. Conversely, the SLA can require the provider to guarantee access to the subscribing consumer to at least a minimum amount of bandwidth. Also, the SLA can require the provider to provide a certain QoS over the provided minimum amount of bandwidth.
When considering the terms of an SLA, content and application hosts provision server resources for their subscribing customers, co-hosted server applications or services, according to the resource demands of the customers at their expected loads. Since outsourced hosting can be viewed as a competitive industry sector, content and application hosts must manage their resources efficiently. Logically, to ensure that the customers receive the promised level of service in the SLA, content and application hosts can be configured to survive a worst-case load. Yet, the worst-case approach can unnecessarily tax the resources of the content host or the application host as the case may be, even when those resources are not required to service a given load. Hence, rather than over-provisioning resources, efficient admission control and capacity planning policies can be designed merely to limit rather than eliminate the risk of meeting the worst-case demand.
While SLA management and enforcement has become part and parcel of ordinary application hosting relationships between consumer and host. Extreme Transaction Processing (XTP) provides new challenges in the use and enforcement of the SLA. XTP is a technology used by application hosts to handle exceptionally large numbers of concurrent requests. Serving such a large volume of concurrent requests can be made possible in XTP by distributing the load resulting from the concurrent requests on computer clusters or whole grid computing networks. Further, general XTP supporting architectures often rely upon aggressive caching across an n-Tier caching infrastructure (a multi-tiered cache structure), affinity routing (the intelligent routing of a request to business logic executing nearest to the requisite data consumed by the business logic), and decreasing data-access latency via the “MapReduce” framework commonly used to support distributed computing on large data sets on clusters of computers. Thus, effective management of the multi-tiered cache structure can be critical to meeting the obligations set forth under an SLA. |
I typically don't keep much more than a couple grand in the house at once, and there is literally a gun stashed in every room of my house, bathrooms included. It would be tough to get the drop on me, and you are risking a lot coming to take it, for relatively not a lot of money.
If someone broke in while I wasn't there, they'd never find any cash anyway. Most of my guns are in a safe, I guess you could steal my TVs? The only guns lying around are the ones I stashed throughout the house, (handguns), an AK and a mossberg pump. |

Low salt mimics effects of dark pulses on circadian pacemaker in cultured chick pineal cells.
Chick pineal cells in static culture display a persistent photosensitive circadian rhythm of melatonin production and release. Pulses of white light or darkness, in otherwise constant red light, induce phase shifts in subsequent cycles whose magnitude and direction depend on the phase at which the pulse is given. Such "phase-dependent phase shifts" are mediated by effects on the underlying pacemaker. We reported previously that inhibiting the Na-K-ATPase with ouabain or salt solutions lacking potassium evokes phase shifts with the same phase dependence as those induced by pulses of darkness. One of the consequences of inhibiting the sodium pump is cell swelling. To test the relevance of this effect, we exposed chick pineal cells to pulses of medium containing reduced concentrations of NaCl, which should cause cell swelling. These hypotonic solutions induced phase shifts in the melatonin rhythm with the same phase dependence as those caused by pulses of ouabain or darkness. The size of the phase shifts varied with degree of dilution, and phase shifting was prevented by replacement of NaCl. In view of previous results showing that hypertonic media mimicked the phase-shifting effects of light, these results suggest that cell swelling may mediate the darklike effects of ouabain on the circadian pacemaker in chick pineal cells. |

A:
User unidirectional relation between User and Address if Address object does not supposed to know about its owner (generally it does not). I would prefer user id in Address table if a User have more than one Address (one-to-many relation).
But for your question you may design like that,
public class User{
...
@OneToOne(CascadeType.REMOVE)//this is for to remove address when user is removed
@JoinColumn(name="HOME_ADDRESS_ID")
private Address address;
...
}
and
public class Address {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO )
int id;
@Column(name="country", nullable=false)
private String country;
private String street;
private String postcode;
private String telephone;
private String pesel;
//no user object here
public int getId() {
return id;
}
...
}

But that should make us step back and enlarge the question: If this is what electoral campaigns look like online, and especially on the largest social platform, Facebook, then what can be done about that?
Put simply: Is Facebook too big to work?
* * *
When I say Facebook, I don’t mean exclusively the corporate entity, Facebook Inc. While Facebook has built the system, it now contains vastly more actors contributing to its functioning than Facebook employs or directly controls.
No one has ever seen a system like this because none has ever existed. It’s software and interfaces and tools. It’s a social network. It’s an advertising vehicle. It’s the key media distributor. But, like a city or a nation, it’s also human behaviors, habits, norms. Because much of it is built on machine learning, which transforms user behavior into new software adjustments, users and algorithms drive each other by design.
If everyone stops clicking on something, soon the software will stop showing it to anyone. If Facebook pushes video into feeds, people will watch more video. These feedback loops are what Facebook is as an attention-gathering machine. They ensure that the system is always calibrated for you and you and you. In the lethal struggle between Silicon Valley’s most valuable companies, which are also America’s most valuable companies, this ability to hold human attention as well as any invention since television is Facebook’s competitive advantage.
Because users are so important in this system, Andreessen Horowitz’s Ben Evans argues that Facebook has only very limited control of the system. Facebook is, in his terms, “extremely good at surfing user behavior.” He notes that Facebook’s News Feed algorithm doesn’t make “editorial” but merely mechanistic rankings, based on a variety of factors including but not limited to how many people click, like, and share a story.
“This applies at every level of scale—whether it's creating an entirely new product or tuning some small feature based on a daily or hourly feedback loop—Facebook doesn't determine what the feedback tells it,” Evans writes. He compares Facebook to a fashion designer. They don’t create the zeitgeist, but merely try to capture it. Every failed Facebook product—and there are some—is evidence for this proposition.
This is an important point in understanding the beast. Facebook’s control over its platform has significant limitations.
But Evans’s model of the interaction between Facebook Inc. and Facebook is scoped too narrowly. It’s a good way of thinking about Facebook the business, but not a good way of thinking about Facebook the phenomenon as we experience it. Which makes sense: Evans is a business analyst.
However, the product-sales model of Facebook Inc. doesn't capture everything about Facebook's broader system.
First, the network effects of Facebook are sweeping and intense. They’ve got users pretty well locked in because their friends and their data are both inside. Nobody really believes that Microsoft Word or Adobe PDFs are the platonic ideal of word processing and document sharing, but they work well enough, and everybody else is using them. Facebook has become this type of utility for most social networking. |
The present invention relates to an operating arrangement in which a plurality of sensor surfaces upon the contacting of which an electric pulse is produced are arranged on a surface.
For the operating of, in particular, electronic instruments and control devices, there have proven suitable, inter alia, sensor keys which have no mechanically movable parts and therefore also no mechanical contacts. Aside from their great reliability and long life, these sensor keys have the advantage that they form a closed surface with the parts surrounding them, as a result of which dirtying of the inside of the apparatus provided with the sensor keys is avoided and the cleaning of the outside is facilitated. An arrangement of several such sensor keys can be formed, for instance, by a picture screen on which sensor surfaces are projected and which is connected to a control and evaluation circuit. However, sensor keys are also known in which the rear side of a foil is provided with electrodes and the front side bears corresponding legends.
For various uses, particularly in automotive vehicles, it has been found that, as a result of the smooth surface, accurate orientation of the operator is possible only by means of increased attentiveness. Upon casual reaching as is necessary, for instance, for the operating of an automobile radio during travel, erroneous operating maneuvers are not out of the question. |
Course Overview:
The fundamental rights of victims and non-combatants during the times of armed conflicts are protected by the International Humanitarian Law. Conflicts and wars have become very complicated thanks to the advances in tools and weapons of war, as well as the tactics that are used to terrify a population through media-driven propaganda, and by creating headlines.
This course is carefully designed to help you and your staff members to write proposals that are not only convincing but stand out and get you the attention you need for humanitarian intervention which needs funding, or for responding to a request for proposals. Highlighting and demonstrating your added value can be quite an endeavor in the stiff competition each organization faces with every proposal.
This course helps you in crafting proposals that stand out and attract the right amount of attention.
Attracting and retaining long-term support from donors is one of the most important areas a relief or development mission is completely dependent upon. This course is designed to prepare the participants by improving their capacity in acquiring and nurturing this support through effective management of donor relations. They will learn on how to develop a fundraising strategy, writing effective fundraising proposals, and managing grant contracts and the relations with the donors.
All humanitarian organizations strive to improve the quality and effectiveness of responding to all kinds of emergencies and the complexities that arise with each. Not only do all emergencies come with complexities of different types but also require timely interventions to deliver a maximum impact. Hence, careful monitoring of all the processes from strategizing to decision making and implementation of changes on the ground is very important.
This course is designed to focus on internal and external project evaluation and introduce tools that are used to measure and improve the performance of projects. The participants follow a step by step approach for the understanding of the process of designing and performing an evaluation. |
Of course, children prefer scooping and eating real ice cream to playing with wooden cones adorned with pretend sparkles. Duh! They would like to drive real cars, too.
But just because children prefer the real deal, as research by Angeline Lillard of the University of Virginia shows, that does not negate the value of make-believe and toy play. In fact, scientific studies give us reason to believe that play serves an important role in helping children practice the storytelling skills that will build strong readers, in helping kids learn new vocabulary as in the phrase knights in shining armor who defend the castle walls, and even in preparing for STEM disciplines.
Lillard and I visited an indoor play space in Taipei where children were playing make-believe with a variety of toys. While Lillard writes that she witnessed a child who seemed bored scooping pretend ice cream, I saw a range of wonderful activities beyond wooden ice cream cones.
There were rideable little cars powered by toddler feet that took children to pretend gas stations. The little guys in those cars got to navigate around the play space floor as they headed to refuel. They had to map out where they were going. There were levers that could be carefully placed at particular slopes to send balls rolling down inclines and puzzles that helped children rotate and transform objects to fit into their proscribed locations.
Our research shows that these children are engaged in the kind of playful spatial activities that will prepare them for mathematics when they begin formal schooling.
Pretend play might also allow children to more clearly focus on the overarching story line than would be possible in real life. Those kids eating the real ice cream that is leaking out of the bottom of the cone are focusing only on the drips. In contrast, the pretend ice cream store prompted preschoolers to categorize the scoops as they carefully replace the green "mint" flavored pieces in the bin to the left and the brown chocolate "ice cream" in the bin to the right. In the pretend store, children take our play money and even give us play change from the cash register.
They are indeed learning about role play, practicing a script for buying a cone and even getting a bit of math -- not that they got the change right. Lillard herself has argued that stronger language skills were a real outcome of pretend play.
No doubt, Lillard is making a broader and an important point, which is that make-believe is only a part of what it takes to grow up and to learn life skills. Real experiences are critical and we should indeed allow kids more opportunity to ride on ponies, to see the cross sections of real cut-up veggies and to talk on real phones.
But giving our children these experiences does not negate the joy of make-believe nor the value of play. Play -- yes, even make-believe -- enhances developmental experiences. Let's not throw out the proverbial baby with the bath water.

Navigation data, flight plan data, avionics application software, and other forms of data applicable to operation of an aircraft are generally uploaded to one or more avionics systems onboard the aircraft prior to flight. The current process requires transportation of physical media, by a user, to the airplane to transfer data. Current methods of flight data loading into avionics systems onboard the aircraft include downloading applicable flight data, via any computer device or system external to the aircraft, onto some form of storage media (e.g., SD card, USB drive, external hard drive, etc.), carrying the storage media into the cockpit of an aircraft, connecting the storage media to applicable avionics systems in the cockpit, and loading the flight data from the storage media. The flight data upload is thus limited to the contents of the original upload, and is not altered or updated during use.
Accordingly, it is desirable to provide a capability for obtaining flight data and perform an upload of the flight data inside the aircraft. Furthermore, other desirable features and characteristics will become apparent from the subsequent detailed description and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and the foregoing technical field and background. |

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in hoes and guards therefor.
The hoe which preferably includes a sickle blade from a reciprocating knife of a swather or the like, is provided with extremely sharp edges and is normally formed from a tempered steel.
This is secured at right angles on one end of a handle and is ideal for use in gardens and for general purpose scraping.
However, the extremely sharp edges of the blade make same somewhat dangerous when not in use, particularly when same is displayed for sale in a store inasmuch as the sharp edges can readily injure people with the slightest contact therewith.
Because of this a guard is required to detachably cover at least the sharpened edges of the blade, said guard being readily removed and replaced as desired. |

Q:
Why does iPhone eMail signature go out as an attachment?
I am building an iPhone application that generates an email with an attachment. The eMail message window pops up showing the body text and attachment followed by the default "Sent from my iPhone" signature text.
Everything seems perfectly ok, except when the message is received by the recipient the signature "Send from my iPhone" has been converted into a text attachment instead of remaining as the last line of the body. What gives?
Update: It seems that it's only Outlook that exhibits this behaviour. When I view the message in iPad Mail the signature does show as body text, not an attachment.
A:
How does the email view in other applications, such as Apple Mail, Eudora, Lotus Notes, Thunderbird, etc ?
I'm suspecting that it's to do with Outlook's anal attempts to "protect the user experience", the same as it does if you email an EXE file (won't let the recipient open it).

Bench Talk / Off The Wire
Gordon & Kazarian Return
As we head into mid-February, there are Junior & Senior Hockey clubs falling off on a daily basis. A few more will hit the proverbial golf course this weekend.
And while the hockey playoffs are rising towards a climax, next season for Senior Lacrosse is technically just around the corner.
The Owen Sound NorthStars made a couple of announcements this week pertaining to their coaching staff, their support staff and their on floor roster.
First of all, Head Coach Stuart Gordon is returning to the position and will once again be assisted by Mark Kazarian as an Assistant Coach.
Stability and familiarity at any level in team sports is key and under Gordon & Kazarian last season, the NorthStars went to the League Final and while swept, they made every game with Six Nations in the final a tight battle.
Next, from a support staff standpoint, the NorthStars confirm that Head Athletic Therapist Brandon Downing and Assistant Athletic Therapist Darren Clock will be with the club, which based on their professional backgrounds is reassuring on several levels.
And finally on the floor, the NorthStars relate that Brady Heseltine will be with the club this season.
A long time nemesis of Owen Sound Junior teams, Heseltine arrived in Owen Sound last Summer and was an offensive threat every time and has confirmed to the team he'll be with them from the get-go this year.
There's significant time between now and the NorthStars Season Opener, but step by step the preparation process is ongoing in Owen Sound, preparation that they hope will take them to Nanaimo, BC come late August. |

This paper examines the relationship between domestic and overseas long-term interest rates by carrying out an analysis of statistics on their correlation and principal components and on domestic-overseas interest rate differentials. According to the results of the analysis, Korea’s long-term interest rates have synchronized more with those of Germany and other advanced European countries than with those of the U.S. since the global financial crisis. Furthermore, an analysis with long-term interest rates divided into short-term interest rate expectations and term premia proves that such synchronization of interest rates has been attributable mostly to that of term premia.
The analysis points to the quantitative easing carried out by major central banks since the global financial crisis as a major cause of long-term interest rate synchronization. The results of the empirical analysis show that, as term premia in a given country declined greatly after the implementation of quantitative easing, those of Korea also decreased due to spillover effects, strengthening the synchronization of domestic and overseas term premia and long-term interests rates. The analysis results also show that global low growth and low inflation have strengthened the coupling of domestic and overseas economic conditions and inflation, contributing to long-term interest rate synchronization. Finally, improvement in Korea’s external soundness and consequent inflows of stable foreign investment funds from the public sector including governments and central banks into the Korean bond markets are seen to have caused the synchronization of Korea’s long-term interest rates mostly with those of advanced countries.
The fact that Korea’s long-term interest rates are synchronized more with those of European countries than with those of the U.S. should be interpreted as the long-term interest rates of Korea and European countries being similarly affected by changes in U.S. financial conditions, rather than as a weakened influence of such changes on the Korean financial markets. In addition, the synchronization of domestic and overseas long-term interest rates points to the need to pay more attention to the underlying trend of the long-term interest rates of advanced countries. It should be noted that if the ECB and other major country central banks commence full-scale normalization of their monetary policies, Korea’s long-term interest rates may rise, along with those of advanced countries, to a level higher than that of the present. |

Las Vegas carpet cleaning- The process used in Cleaning
Things may have changes such as technology, innovation, lifestyle and many other stuff due to upgrading things and evolution. Cleaning becomes smooth and easily done nowadays by the aid of technology. The carpets in homes have changed the way that people are cleaning their own carpets. Carpet cleaning only mean having to use baking soda paste scrub in order to remove whatever is trap in the carpet fibers and it is consider as the most life-saving technique. The advantage of going through Las Vegas carpet cleaning is one of the best choice to those who were staying in Las Vegas.
What are the ideal process of Las Vegas carpet cleaning?
Steam Cleaning- the process involves vacuuming the carpet in order to remove solid dirt that could be from various dust. It is also consider as one of the most common technique being provide by the Las Vegas carpet cleaning company. After vacuuming the carpet it is now subject to pressurize or hot steam by the aid of water with high pressure to remove some forms of dirt from the carpet.
The shampooing method- this method allows you to deal with it accordingly because it is easy as we are shampooing our hair or washing our clothes. Hence, if you are the type of person who needs extra hand to clean it because you do not have enough time then you can hire the Las Vegas cleaning company.
Bonnet process- it is one of the effective way to clean spot which has stubborn stains and cannot be remove by the shampoo or detergent. The process should involve brushing and scrubbing the carpet with the rotating position. The usage of water should be minimal in order to stick with the chemicals or detergent they are using. Always ensure that they will do this process accordingly.
The carpet cleaning process would also vary from the carpet. Experts would vary it from dry cleaning and wet cleaning in order to remove the dirt, which sticks too tight on your carpet for a longer time. If you want to use your vacuum on cleaning your carpet, it is also a good deal because you do not need to spend money. Speed and cleanliness of expert Las Vegas carpet cleaning company can be ideal because they specialize in this field. Understanding the different advantages and disadvantages is a great way to execute time and effort on cleaning your carpet. |
Infected vertebroplasty. Report of two cases and review of the literature.
Transpedicular vertebroplasty has been established as a safe and effective treatment for thoracic and lumbar compression fractures. Complications are rare and infectious complications requiring surgical management have only been reported once in the literature. In this paper the authors present two patients in whom osteomyelitis developed after vertebroplasty in which corpectomy was required. The serious nature of these infections, their surgical management, and complication avoidance are discussed. |
[Interconnection between the history of Brazilian nursing education and the ecosystem thoughts].
This paper aimed to recover, through a theoretical-reflexive, a brief history of graduate nursing in Brazil, and its relationship with ecosystem thoughts. In the discussion one tried to reflect on the history of Brazilian nursing perspective grounded in the Thought Ecosystem. The reflection allowed to cover the meant that the higher education systemic element provides with the space in which it operates and how it processes its construction and modifications through the principles of ecosystem integration, cooperation, interrelation, interdependence and influence among both. |

Micromechanical components, which are used, for example, in the automotive field as inertial or pressure sensors, normally have a microstructure including movable functional elements. The microstructure is also designated as a MEMS structure (microelectromechanical system). During the operation of the sensors, a deflection of a functional element is detected, for instance, via a change in the electrical capacitance with respect to a fixed reference electrode.
A current method for manufacturing a micromechanical component includes forming the microstructure on a functional substrate and joining the functional substrate to a cap substrate, through which a hollow space (cavity or cavern) surrounding the functional elements of the microstructure is formed. A metallic or eutectic wafer bonding process may be carried out to join the two substrates. For such a joining technique, frame-shaped connecting structures, also known as a “bonding frame” or “bonding layer,” which have metallic materials or materials matched to one another for the formation of a eutectic alloy, may be formed on the upper surfaces of the two substrates. In the bonding process, the individual connecting structures are joined to form a common connecting structure, thereby forming a hermetically tight seal situated around the microstructure.
In the case of the functional substrate, the connecting structure is produced prior to forming the microstructure. However, the “topography” associated with the connecting structure or “material plane” projecting from the upper surface of the functional substrate has an adverse influence on the production of the microstructure, during which a photolithographic patterning method is used. A result of the presence of the connecting structure situated about the subsequent microstructure is that in this region, the photoresist used in the patterning method cannot be deposited or spun on uniformly, and therefore makes waves or is subject to variations in thickness. In a subsequent exposure step, the uneven photoresist may cause unwanted scattering effects, through which (lateral) dimensions of the structures to be produced are subject to fluctuations. Such variations in structure width have a directly negative effect on the microstructure and, consequently, on the electrical properties of the sensor. The steady reduction in structural dimensions and the decrease in reserves or the distance between the connecting structure and microstructure increasingly amplifies this negative effect. |
Q:
How to install log4j bundle into Eclipse?
I found that one of my Eclipse installations has org.apache.log4j plugin installed. The provider of this plug-in is labeled as "Eclipse Orbit". Probably it was installed as dependency by some other software I don't know. I see no "orbit" sites among available installation sites in Eclipse preferences.
Also I don't see conventional download URL on Orbit page.
So how to find and install log4j bundle?
A:
You can see the available builds of the Orbit repository at http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/ . Clicking one of those build links will take you to a page that includes the update site URL, which you can use as an "available installation site" to install anything from the Orbit project.

Loss Prevention
So I lost another person I considered a friend. He delete me without reason. Was someone who never followed my pages and he still helped me out. He was from Germany. I looked up the name he used and it isn’t there. Someone else has the same name, but its a woman. He didn’t use an actual name and his real name doesn’t come up. I don’t know if he read something he didn’t like. I know he wasn’t all the way in the truth. Others that did things for me have removed me for that reason.
This is the same reason I fear finding someone else. I have a no tolerance policy which I live by, and when I have to compromise that for the sake of peace, it just shows who has the power and control in a relationship. Meaning its not God, and Im not leading. Or being allowed to. Which also means the devil would have a foothold in the marriage.
Getting over heaps and passed issues is one thing. Things taking time is a given. However when you have a downright rebellious attitude and there is sun going down on your anger … Ive learned the hard way that women will irrationally use any excuse for a cause to break up, or get a legalized divorce, no matter how ridiculous it is. Then they throw a bunch of irrelevant junk on top of it to justify their actions.
This seems to be case with friends as well. I’m certain Ive been guilty of it and I know I can act foolish in a relationship too. But if I had used any excuse to break up, I never would have gotten as far as marriage in the first place. I’ve seen men who commit crimes, act like a complete ass in public, insult their wives and talk down to them in public, treat other people like trash, and cant even pull their pants up or talk with proper English … yet their woman stays with them. Either out of fear (stupidity) or because, and this has become a very popular trend, they can control and manipulate the guy, basically have him whipped.
I see it just as much in the church as anywhere. When the women are running everything and making all the decisions, minimizing the problems and claiming things like “its for the kids” or “its just for fun” or “no harm in it” … Wrong. The shephard has lost his flock and has allowed them to run amuck. Or the Pastor is a false prophet. The latter is the likely scenario.
People ask how I so often can connect so many issues into one message. Well, because everything is connected. We just choose to seperate issues so we don’t have so much to focus on. So we can have our fun and celebrate without worry or guilt, without knowing Gods anguish and feeling conviction.
This is why we have division handing the nation. Its the reason so many millions are unified under a blinding light and when its suddenly dark, hatred and malice take over. Because we fear truth. We fear reality. We don’t want control over our own lives. We need that regulation, and so we accept it. Even when its all lies and deception … |
Harvard Law professor emeritus and frequent Fox News guest Alan Dershowitz blasted TV pundits who appear “anxious” to find crimes against Trump during a “Hannity” appearance on Monday night.
WATCH:
The panel kicked off the segment by discussing the Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen indictments, which have led many in media to label Donald Trump as an “un-indicted co-conspirator.”
“Professor Dershowitz, you kept saying this isn’t even jaywalking as it relates to the president. Can you explain to America’s dumb pundit lawyer class why you are right and they are so wrong?” Hannity asked.
“First, I completely understand why people are so anxious to try to find crimes against Trump, but you just can’t make it up. You have to look at the rule of law and if you look at the statute, the statute says that a candidate can contribute any amount of money he wants into his own campaign and President Trump has said the money came from him personally,” Dershowitz exclaimed.
“So unless new evidence develops I see no indication of any criminal violation of any of the campaign finance statutes. If there are any, let’s hear, where’s the beef, where’s the statute? Point to me where the violation occurs. I know why people hope there is a violation, but hope can’t substitute for reality,” he finished.

Robots make waves in Chinese underwater challenge
Posted
Robots made waves in the World Intelligence Underwater Robots Challenge in Tianjin in China last week, while a four-legged robot, which its engineer say can climb any terrain, showed off its skills in Paris. Pascale Davies reports. |
The present invention relates generally to the field of integrated circuits and in particular to a system and method to synchronize an output signal generated by a integrated circuit component to an applied clock signal.
Synchronous logic refers to a wide array of analog and digital circuits wherein state—the collective contents of storage locations and the conditions of input and output signals—changes in temporal synchronicity with an applied periodic signal, known in the art as a clock signal. Particularly in systems comprising a plurality of interconnected integrated circuits, synchronizing the state transition of certain output signals to an applied clock input is important to reduce clock skew and achieve reliable high frequency operation. One example of a synchronous integrated circuit component commonly interconnected to other high-frequency, synchronous circuits is SDRAM memory.
A Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) component is a high-density, solid-state, volatile, digital data storage device. As its name implies, a SDRAM differs from a DRAM in that applied control signals, output timing signals, and data bits (in both read and write directions) transition synchronously with an applied clock signal. This feature simplifies the control of the SDRAM by processors, memory controllers, bus interface circuits, and other synchronous, or clocked, circuits, and allows for higher operating frequencies than conventional DRAMs. Tight synchronization with a clock input is even more critical for Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM components, which provide data and control signal transitions on both edges of the clock signal.
One example of a synchronous SDRAM signal is a data strobe signal, which is used in at least SDRAM write and read operations. The data strobe signal is provided as an input to the SDRAM when writing data to it, and is used by the SDRAM to latch write data synchronously with the clock signal. Conversely, the data strobe signal is an output generated by the SDRAM when data is read from it, and is used by memory controllers to latch read data synchronously with the clock signal.
During read operations, the SDRAM generates the data strobe signal synchronously with the clock signal. Ideally, the data bits (DQ) and data strobe (DQS) exhibit little or no skew relative to the applied clock signal (CK). The degree to which DQ and DQS diverge from synchronicity with the CK limits high frequency operation, and is specified by SDRAM manufacturers as tAC and tDQSCK, respectively. One challenge of SDRAM design, manufacture, and testing is to minimize tAC and tDQSCK.
A conventional approach to reducing the skew between synchronous output signals and the clock signal in an integrated circuit is the use of a Delay Locked Loop (DLL). A DLL dynamically adjusts the delay of a variable delay line to reduce the phase skew between a synchronous signal being generated and the clock signal. DLLs reduce skew between on-chip, or internal, signals.
To reduce the skew between corresponding external signals—such as the applied CK input and the DQS output during read operations—it is known to add a trimmable feedback delay to a DLL that accounts for input and output buffer delay. This trimmable delay may be altered during manufacturing testing by monitoring the external signals in a tester and blowing one or more fuses associated with delay elements in the feedback delay circuit until the external signals are phase aligned. Since it consumes valuable testing time, this procedure is performed on a selected number of SDRAM components on a wafer and the resultant values of the feedback delays are averaged. Fuses are then blown on the remaining SDRAM components on the wafer to set the feedback delay of each to this average value.
However, due to process variations, the delays imposed by input and output buffers may vary widely, even among SDRAM components on the same wafer. Consequently, each setting the feedback delay in each SDRAM component to the average value means that the SDRAM components are not individually optimized to minimize the phase skew between synchronous outputs and the clock signal. |

Connexins in epidermal homeostasis and skin disease.
The expression of multiple connexin (Cx) types in the epidermis, their differential expression during wound closure and the association of skin pathology with specific Cx gene mutations, are indicative of important functions for Cxs in the skin. In this review, we focus on the role of Cx proteins in the epidermis and during wound healing and discuss mutations in Cx genes which cause skin disease. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: The Communicating junctions, composition, structure and characteristics. |
Intracortical osteosarcoma.
A case of osteosarcoma is described that originated within the cortex of the tibial diaphysis. This form of osteosarcoma was first described by Jaffe as "intracortical osteogenic sarcoma." A review of the literature indicates that this is probably the rarest presenting form of osteosarcoma. It appears to have a predilection for origin in the diaphysis, and its radiologic appearance may mimic a benign lesion. Follow-up information is given on the two cases originally reported by Jaffe, and the tumor is distinguished from periosteal osteosarcoma with which it has recently been confused. |
Q:
Conditional Prebuild Event Commands
Background
Currently I run a pre-build command when building my solution locally. However, this command isn't needed when building on my VSTS Continuous Integration Server.
Question
Is there a way to only run the pre-build event commands when building on a local machine?
I'm aware you can add conditional statements like below. But is there something to distinguish if its a local build or a CI build?
if $(ConfigurationName) == Local
A:
When using the Visual Studio build task in VSTS you can pass MSBuild parameters from the task configuration. This way you can define your own custom property like RunsOnCI and default it to false. You can then set it to true in your build definition.
Assume you have the following code in your pre build event:
if $(BuiltOnCI) == true (
echo "Hello World!"
)
You then need to edit your .csproj file and add the BuiltOnCI property with a default value:
<PropertyGroup>
...
<BuiltOnCI>false</BuiltOnCI>
</PropertyGroup>
You can test your changes by running MSBuild on the command line. Running it like this will not show the Hello World message:
msbuild myproject.csproj
Passing the parameter on the command line allows you to set it to true:
msbuild StackoverflowSample.csproj /p:BuiltOnCi=true
Now that it works locally, you can use /p:BuiltOnCi=true and put in your VSTS task in the MSBuild arguments field.

Enhancement in dissolution pattern of piribedil by molecular encapsulation with beta-cyclodextrin.
The aim of this study was to improve the dissolution behavior of piribedil by molecular encapsulation with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD). Toward this aim, physical mixing, co-grinding, and spray-drying methods were used to prepare solid binary systems. Differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffractometry, and particle size analysis were used to characterize the binary systems obtained. Complexes of piribedil and beta-CD could be prepared using the spray-drying method. Dissolution of piribedil was improved to a great extent by the complex prepared. |
One Field of Invention
Snubbers, or devices to arrest linear movement in one direction, have generally involved either hydraulic or pneumatic devices. These devices have included pistons and cylinders and variable pressure relief means. The hydraulic devices generally created leak problems in the packing glands and in the relief orifices. Pneumatic devices, not only have leak problems, but also their use was not practical where we had wide variations in temperature changes and moisture conditions. Also, pneumatic devices required considerable motion before any arresting action takes place, and, in general, were very bulky and thus their use was substantially limited.
The shortcomings of the hydraulic and pneumatic snubbers have resulted in the need of a mechanical snubber involving frictional contact between piston parts and a cylindrical bore controlling movement in one direction of travel and release of frictional contact between the parts during travel in the opposite direction. |

These components are gathered in an IconsIndex.js file and are exported as such:
export { default as Rocket } from "./Rocket";
I am importing the index to have access to my icon library from any given component:
import * as Icon from "./icons/IconsIndex";
This allows me to essentially do: <Icon.Rocket /> which renders the SVG component perfectly.
What I'd like to do is be able to have the <Icon /> component be able to be more dynamic from parent components.
For example:
class ResourceBlock extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<BlockContainer>
<BlockIcon>
<Icon.Rocket />
</BlockIcon>
<BlockTitle>{this.props.caption}</BlockTitle>
<Button>{this.props.buttonText}</Button>
</BlockContainer>
);
}
}
This outputs the Rocket icon everywhere the ResourceBlock component is called. What I'd like to be able to do is something like this:
<ResourceBlock icon={Icon.Rocket} caption="Lorem..." buttonText="..." />
Is this possible? How can I achieve this level of flexibility with our icons?
The key is to keep the SVGs as decoupled as possible, so wrapping them all in an additional <Icon /> component isn't appealing.
A:
It's a little odd, but in JSX if the node name is lowercase it will be translated as an html tag, not a component reference. So just assign your icon property to an uppercase local const and render it that way:
class ResourceBlock extends React.Component {
render() {
const Icon = this.props.icon;
return (
<BlockContainer>
<BlockIcon>
<Icon />
</BlockIcon>
<BlockTitle>{this.props.caption}</BlockTitle>
<Button>{this.props.buttonText}</Button>
</BlockContainer>
);
}
}
Used just like you had it:
<ResourceBlock icon={Icon.Rocket} caption="Lorem..." buttonText="..." />
A:
Sure:
<ResourceBlock icon={<Icon.Rocket />} caption="Lorem..." buttonText="..." />
class ResourceBlock extends React.Component {
render() {
return (
<BlockContainer>
<BlockIcon>
{this.props.icon}
</BlockIcon>
<BlockTitle>{this.props.caption}</BlockTitle>
<Button>{this.props.buttonText}</Button>
</BlockContainer>
);
}
}

Double Punch of Love
Falling heavily in love, becoming honest to these feelings, one two punch
A progressing natural disaster, a major incident
Decisively waiting, but it hasn’t begun yet
Anything and everything is okay and fun
Well, it never rains but it pours, it’s annoying
Full battery, full full power, one two punch
Reading too much into it (Anticipating) , attack (counterattack)
Occasionally (a pause) a deep breath
Feeling jealous* (not rice cakes!), Tsundere (What’s that?)
Passing each other (can’t take it), ah, God~
YOU & ME
When I’m close to you, I can’t say it, is it unrequited love? Double punch of love (double punch)
To convey these feelings, am I in a hurry? Drop-kick of Love (drop kick)
The critical tightrope
Complete and perfect vital
I won’t lose to you
You & me
This is not a predestined meeting
The negotiations when I’m next to you, no, the duel
It’s a very, very, very important thing
However, not at all, not at all, not at all will it be noticed
Gathering my steps, one two punch
Recently (on the outside) I’ve been crying (from stress)
Bits and pieces (have been piling up) waiting for it to blow up
Such a thing (to understand it)I don’t (No no no no)
Has cooking also (speed)has become a game?
YOU & ME
The shortcut is a detour, but the detour is my way (My way)
It’s not over, it’s not over, tomorrow will be an unknown story (To be…)
The advantages and disadvantages are endless
Together with my lifetime rival
You are unsatisfied
You & me
The heart (Inside) in love (Not knowing)
You are the one (You are) for me
Too perplexed (My heart is) to be delivered (Telepathy)
Occasionally (being honest) I catch on
When I’m close to you, I can’t say it, is it unrequited love? Double punch of love (double punch)
To convey these feelings, am I in a hurry? Drop-kick of Love (drop kick)
The critical tightrope
Complete and perfect vital
I won’t lose to you
Falling heavily in love, becoming honest to these feelings, one two punch

Q:
Git : add password for pushing some files
Is it possible to add a password for commiting and pushing some files/folders on a GIT repository ?
Or any other way to prevent some users from commiting and pushing some files/folders they are not supposed to commit and push ?
A:
You can possibly use git hooks to do what you want. (See the git documentation at https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-An-Example-Git-Enforced-Policy under the heading Enforcing a User-Based ACL System.)
The full example they use may be overkill for your needs; the key idea is that a post-receive hook can reject a push, so you can examine the files modified in each commit (with git rev-list and git log) and reject commits that affect certain files if that's what you want to do.
Of course this only protects the origin repo; people can do what they want locally. But protecting the origin is really all that matters, and it's pretty much impossible to stop people from doing what they want to their local clones anyway.

Proposal of a new model with dopaminergic-cholinergic interactions for neuropharmacological investigations.
The motor system of Dugesia gonocephala shows a striking similarity with the extrapyramidal system of high vertebrates and of man with the evidence of correlations between dopaminergic and cholinergic neurons. The utilization of this model seems to be useful in testing drugs which presumably act on dopaminergic or cholinergic transmission. In this model, the quantification of animal behaviour seems considerably easier when compared with the difficulties met in other animal models commonly employed. Besides, it might be anticipated that this model, if correctly used, can display interesting perspectives also in neuroendocrinological investigations. |
The mechanochemistry of cytoskeletal force generation.
In this communication, we propose a model to study the non-equilibrium process by which actin stress fibers develop force in contractile cells. The emphasis here is on the non-equilibrium thermodynamics, which is necessary to address the mechanics as well as the chemistry of dynamic cell contractility. In this setting, we are able to develop a framework that relates (a) the dynamics of force generation within the cell and (b) the cell's response to external stimuli to the chemical processes occurring within the cell, as well as to the mechanics of linkage between the stress fibers, focal adhesions and extracellular matrix. |

Lincoln Diaz-Balart lavishes praise on the Obama administration
The retiring Miami Republican offered rare words of praise Wednesday for the Obama administration, saying he's been impressed with its response to the earthquake that leveled Haiti.
"We have here a lot of partisan differences and debate," Diaz-Balart said at an earthquake briefing for Florida lawmakers. "But with regard to the response of the Obama administration, all decisions and actions should be commended. I think all Americans should be proud of the way the administration acted from the first minute. All actions and subsequent decisions I commend." |

Religious communism
Religious communism is a form of communism that incorporates religious principles. Scholars have used the term to describe a variety of social or religious movements throughout history that have favored the communal ownership of property.
Definition
T. M. Browning described "religious communism" as a form of communism that "springs directly from principles native to a religion", and Hans Hillerbrand defined "religious communism" as religious movements that advocated the "communal ownership of goods and the concomitant abrogation of private property." Browning and Hillerbrand have distinguished the "religious communism" from "political communism" and "economic" socialism. Additionally, Hillerbrand has contrasted "religious communism" with Marxism, an ideology that called for the elimination of religion. Donald Drew Egbert and Stow Persons have noted that "[c]hronologically, religious communism tended to precede secular [communism]". However, other scholars have also suggested that the traditional "political communism" or Marxism has always been a variety of religion.
History
The term "religious communism" has been used to describe a variety of social or religious movements throughout history. For example, "the commune of early Christians at Jerusalem" has been described as a group that practiced "religious communism". The teachings of Mazdak, a religious proto-socialist Persian reformer, have also been referred to as early "communism". According to Ben Fowkes and Bulent Gokay, Bolshevik Mikhail Skachko stated at the Congress of the Peoples of the East that "the Muslim religion is rooted in principles of religious communism, by which no man may be a slave to another, and not a single piece of land may be privately owned."
Some scholars have used the term "religious communism" to describe a number of 17th-century Protestant movements that "disavow[ed] personal property". For example, Bhabagrahi Misra and James Preston described the "religious communism of the Shakers" as a "community in which all goods are held in common." Larry Arnhart described "religious communism in the Oneida Community" as a system where "[e]xcept for a few personal items, they shared all their property." In fact, Albert Fried wrote that "American religious communism reached its apogee" in the 1850s "[w]ith the rise of the Oneida community".
Other scholars have used the term to describe a communist social movement that developed in Paris in the 1840s, which was organized by "foreign-born, primarily German-speaking, journeyman-artisans who had settled there." In the early twentieth century, prior to the rise of Bolshevism in Russia, some intellectuals advocated for the implementation of a form of communism that incorporated Christian ideology "as an alternative to Marxism". Additionally, in the late twentieth century, some Catholic theologians also organized groups to create "dialogue" between the Catholic Church and the Communist Party in Italy.

Q:
How can I generate dialogs dynamically using the Microsoft Bot Builder SDK for Node.js?
I am building a tool that allows users to generate their own custom form surveys. I would like to give them the ability to convert these traditional form surveys into a chat conversation. I am already using the Microsoft Bot Builder SDK to interact with users through chat.
How can I generate dialogs dynamically using the form structure that is stored in my database? Assume that I have an array like this one stored in my database:
var form = [
{
inputType: 'text',
prompt: 'What is your first name?'
},
{
inputType: 'choice',
prompt: 'Select your gender',
values: ['female', 'male']
}
];
How can I generate a waterfall dialog using this array? I know I can just manually write the dialog code using prompts etc. if I know what the survey questions are all the time but I have to generate the dialog based on a dynamic form that users save. I can't find any information about how to achieve this. Appreciate the help. Thanks.
A:
You can accomplish this using a community contributed tool called "Form Flow" - it is designed to accomplish a similar idea to yours.
You can find the NPM package here:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/botbuilder-formflow
More details available on the GitHub project repository here:
https://github.com/gudwin/botbuilder-formflow
Overview:
This Library will allow your bot to request complex forms from a user. It helps to build a waterfall dialog that will handle the whole form flow. The library will split into a list of dialogs required for each field. You can use predefined prompts or create you custom dialog wrappers around MBF prompts. Dialogs for each field evaluated separately and could be customized. The Library features:
Standard Prompts plus prompts for emails and urls;
Validators, Prompts, Error Prompts and Value extractors could be customized by a developer
Subdialogs are supported
Example: Simple registration form:
const builder = require('botbuilder');
const formFlow = require('../../botbuilder-formflow');
let signupForm = [
{
"type": "text",
"id": "login",
"prompt": "Please enter your login",
"response": "Your login is %s"
},
{
"type": "text",
"id": "password",
"prompt": "Please enter your password",
"response": "Your password is %s"
}
];
let connector = new builder.ConsoleConnector().listen();
let bot = new builder.UniversalBot(connector);
bot.dialog('/', [
session => session.beginDialog('/form'),
(session, response) => session.endDialog(`Form result: ${JSON.stringify(response.response)}`)
]);
formFlow.create(bot, '/form', signupForm);
console.log('To start registration flow press [[ENTER]]');

Briton Richard Burns has won this year's Rally of Britain, the final round of the world rally championship, and has become one of only a handful of drivers who have won the event consecutively.
Burns snares championship
Briton Richard Burns has won this year's Rally of Britain, the final round of the world rally championship, and has become one of only a handful of drivers who have won the event consecutively.
Driving a Subaru Impreza, he took the lead on the second day of the three-day event and forged ahead as his rivals fell foul of the slippery Welsh forests and mountain roads.
The win gave Burns the runner-up position in the world championship standings behind Finland's Tommi Makinen.
Makinen, who has yet to win the British event, retired at the end of the 19th stage with engine trouble while running fifth.
Veteran Juha Kankkunen made it a one-two finish for Subaru, while fellow-Finn Harri Rovanpera finished third for the new Spanish Seat team, equalling its best result for the season.
Belgian Bruno Thiry, given a one-off drive by Skoda after being released by Subaru this season, was fourth place, giving that team its best result in its first full world championship season.
Former champion Colin McRae and Burns's British rival crashed his Ford Focus out of the event on Monday.
Toyota bowed out of world championship rallying with all three of its works cars retiring; Frenchman Didier Auriol, who had been in the running for the runner-up championship spot, retired on the second to last special stage with a broken radiator in his Corolla WRC. |
This invention relates to a computer system with an image display device and, more particularly, to a multiwindow display device, which is adapted for use in a computer used as a workstation and forms or opens several windows on a display screen, any one of which can be rendered active as required by an operator.
Recently, it becomes popular to support a "multiwindow manager" in an image display device for use in a workstation. The "multiwindow manager" ensures that a plurality of rectangular image regions (called "windows") on the display screen of the display device, which can overlap one upon another, and that the individual windows function as if each is an independent single image screen. The way the windows are formed or opened on the display screen resembles a plurality of paper documents lying on an office desk, with the document desired for reference on the top. Through an operator's manipulation, it is free to change the window-overlapping order to make any desired window active, change the size of each window or move it around. When a window is selected, its corresponding region on the display screen functions as if it is an independent screen of the display device.
A window on which the operator is working at the moment is generally called "an active window." When a window becomes active, the priority of window display changes and the active window moves on top or in front of the other windows. All the image region of the active window is thus visible, the remaining windows being partially or entirely hidden under the active window.
In conventional manner, in order to select a desired window from among overlapping windows on the display screen and move it to the front, that is, to make the desired window active, a pointing device such as a well-known "mouse" is used. According to an existing operation, the operator watches the screen while rolling the mouse on a flat surface to position a displayed pointing image, a pointer, on a frame line or an icon pattern of the desired window. With an appropriate mouse button pressed, the active window moves on top; this active, frontmost window can be zoomed to nearly fill the display screen. The same procedures should be taken for making another window active.
According to the conventional, manual multiwindow presentation control technique, to make a desired window active, the operator needs to operate a mouse button for each window activation action, thus making the operation troublesome. Particularly, when the operator frequently uses a plurality of windows to perform a task with a workstation, a required manual operation sequence of mouse movement and mouse button operations becomes a critical problem to efficient task execution. This is because the operator's thought has to be interrupted every time the desired window is selected. Consequently, it is unlikely that the operator can utilize the inherent advantages of the multiwindow function. |

If you’ve got it, flaunt it (P.S. You’ve got it)
The Economist has a short but uplifting article on research that suggests that we underestimate how good looking we are when compared to other members of the same sex, possibly to keep us on our toes and work hard to attract a partner.
If you have ever sat alone in a bar, depressed by how good-looking everybody else seems to be, take comfort—it may be evolution playing a trick on you. A study just published in Evolution and Human Behavior by Sarah Hill, a psychologist at the University of Texas, Austin, shows that people of both sexes reckon the sexual competition they face is stronger than it really is. She thinks that is useful: it makes people try harder to attract or keep a mate.
Dr Hill showed heterosexual men and women photographs of people. She asked them to rate both how attractive those of their own sex would be to the opposite sex, and how attractive the members of the opposite sex were. She then compared the scores for the former with the scores for the latter, seen from the other side. Men thought that the men they were shown were more attractive to women than they really were, and women thought the same of the women.
This is quite an interesting finding in itself, but also seems to go in the opposite direction to most other normal cognitive biases we have, which lead us to judge ourselves in a better light than others.
The effect nicknamed the Lake Wobegon Effect is where we consistently judge ourselves to be above average compared to others.
Also, we are more likely to think that positive events happen because of our own actions, and negative events are due to other people or external factors.
Interestingly, there’s quite a bit of evidence that mental illness is associated with the loss of these positive biases, giving us a statistically more realistic but emotionally painful view of reality.
One Comment
Vaughan: amazing the amount of good posts you write. Thanks.
You say “there’s quite a bit of evidence that mental illness is associated with the loss of these positive biases, giving us a statistically more realistic but emotionally painful view of reality.”
Maybe a “healthy computer” is different from a “healthy brain”. The goal of the former is to be an objective tool that we can use; that of the latter is to help us survive. Brain Health or Brain Fitness, for a person, includes self-efficacy, which sometimes can be delusional, but always helpful to motivate us toward action and hope.
It is fascinating to analyze what “mental illness” means and the assumptions underneath. |

What we worry about when we worry about the ethics of clinical research.
Clinical research is thought to be ethically problematic and is subject to extensive regulation and oversight. Despite frequent endorsement of this view, there has been almost no systematic evaluation of why clinical research might be ethically problematic. As a result, it is difficult to determine whether the regulations to which clinical research is subject address the ethical concerns it raises. Commentators who consider this question at all tend to assume that clinical research is ethically problematic because it exposes some individuals to risks for the benefit of others. Yet, many other activities that expose some individuals to risks for the benefit of others are not subject to extensive regulation and oversight. This difference raises the question of whether clinical research is distinct from these activities in normatively relevant ways and, if so, what implications this difference (or differences) has for how clinical research should be regulated and conducted. The present manuscript attempts to answer this question by comparing clinical research to two other activities that expose some individuals to risks for the benefit of others. This comparison highlights an aspect of clinical research which has received relatively little attention, namely, the active role investigators play in exposing subjects to risks. I argue that this aspect explains much of the ethical concern expressed regarding clinical research. I end by considering the normative significance of this feature and the implications it has for how clinical research should be regulated and conducted. |
Q:
Cassandra configuration - is native transport necessary on all cluster nodes?
Does Cassandra require both of the following options to be on?
start_native_transport: true
start_rpc: true
Are these required on all Cassandra nodes?
As far as I can tell, the purpose of each is thus:
* native transport - for servicing CQL clients
* rpc - for cluster inter node communication
are these correct?
If they are, I guess I should enable rpc on all nodes, and perhaps native transport on only one node? Is this correct?
A:
The native transport is the CQL Native Protocol (as opposed to the Thrift Protocol) and is the way all modern Cassandra Driver's communicate with the server. This includes all reads/writes/schemachanges/etc
Hence you cannot make start_native_transport as false.

Dieting war strategy: Give in to win
(CNN) -- Dieting often is viewed as an epic battle between willpower and temptation.
So it may be a surprise to learn that many dieticians say the best way to win may be to give in.
"The fact is that anyone who loves chocolate can tell you that in some cases a sweet fruit just won't fill the void of that wonderful taste of chocolate," said Cathy Nonas, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association who works with obese patients.
But that doesn't mean that it's OK to pound down an entire bag of potato chips, a king-size Baby Ruth or a big piece of chocolate cake (or all three).
Nonas recommends that people set rules for themselves before reaching for that treat.
"So maybe they only have it on Friday nights," she said. "Maybe they have it when they're out to dinner and they haven't had any bread or wine, they can have dessert, or maybe they only have dessert when they can share it with three or four other people."
"It won't work and, in the end, it will backfire," she said. "A celery stick isn't going to work if what you really want is a bag of potato chips."
Kirby said that people who tend to try to eat around a craving -- having a piece of fruit instead of chocolate -- often end up eating more calories but still are not satisfied.
Slow down, pay attention, enjoy
Once you decide that you're going to give in to a craving, take time to enjoy it, instead of just wolfing down that candy bar on the way back from the vending machine. (How eating habits have changed)
"You can be satisfied with less," said Roberta Larson Duyff, a nutritional consultant and author of the "American Dietetic Association Complete Food and Nutrition Guide."
"Let us savor a good quality piece of chocolate or whatever and just learn not to eat as much of it," she said. "Learn to stop at that one good bite that delivers everything that we want."
People also tend to eat more when they're not paying attention.
"Whatever you do, don't eat it in front of the television set," Nonas said. "Eat it when you can maintain a focus, when you can taste the food, when you can taste whether it's delicious. Don't stand and eat, put it on a plate."
She also suggests buying single serving packages or dividing food into portions once you get it home so you won't be tempted to overindulge. (Quiz: Guess the portion size)
Good quality equals good health
Kirby, who also runs the Vermont Cooking School and Farm, said dieters should eat the freshest, highest-quality food they can get, instead of focusing on calories, fat and cholesterol.
"We're essential beings who respond to food, not numbers," she said. "We respond to flavor, textures, smells, visual cues, and if you can get yourself to learn more about food and search out the best quality food as opposed to eating by the numbers, you're going to be teaching yourself something and forming lifelong eating habits."
She said that better-tasting food is more satisfying, so you don't have to eat as much. For example, a few slivers of freshly shaved Parmesan cheese usually have more flavor than the powdered stuff that comes in a can.
Kirby said that every weight loss program should focus on exercise, rather than on deprivation.
"Whenever you have to give up a food that you normally love, you're going to obsess about it."
She said instead of going on and off of diets, people should focus on eating healthfully all the time "so you won't have to do this ever again." |
Mobile phone social networking system that trigger animal noises
True Blue Love is a mobile phone social networking experience, designed to explore the politics behind intimate phone-based relations. Designed as a program for mobile phones; each participant enters into the program the characteristics of their ideal sexual mate, chosen from a series of preset selections. While the program is running, every time another phone comes within range, a love metric is calculated which is a representation of how close the incoming person matches the participant's ideal mate. If the match is close, the phone will emit a raucous mating call that will be unique to that participant. (...) The ridiculous sounds should function as social ice-breakers, and the unwilling couple may want to discuss what it is that they have in common that triggered the noise. |
Endogenous endophthalmitis with azole-resistant Candida albicans--Case report and review of the literature.
Candida endophthalmitis accounts for the majority of fungal endophthalmitis. Despite its clinical relevance there are no controlled trials on different treatment regimens. We report a case of endogenous endophthalmitis caused by azole-resistant Candida albicans following abdominal surgery in an otherwise healthy woman, and review the literature concerning treatment recommendations. In consideration of the serious outcome with loss of sight in insufficiently treated endophthalmitis we like to increase awareness to this disease entity and the possibility of azole-resistance, even in treatment-naive patients. |
EFT / Tapping
EFT / Tapping is an “Emotional Freedom Technique” that is becoming one of the most widely respected Energy Psychology healing modalities available. It is extremely fast and useful for relieving pain – both emotional and physical – and reprogramming the subconscious mind.
Based on principles of Acupuncture, EFT requires no needles and can be done anytime, anywhere, for fast relief of virtually any kind of discomfort.
A skilled and talented practitioner is usually necessary for uncovering the unwanted subconscious programs – that keep you stuck in drama and difficulty. Together we can change these deep-seated cognitive structures to be consistent with your conscious desires.
Here’s how EFT works: When current thoughts or events trigger negative thought patterns from the past, you might say that a “short-circuit” occurs in your energy flow. This leads to physical and/or emotional discomfort, such as:
Chronic Pain
Anxiety / Panic
Stress
Illness
Broken heart
Phobia
Cravings
Insomnia
Obsessions
Depression
Headaches
Poor performance
EFT overrides the “short circuit” that causes the discomfort and eliminates the disruption in the flow of energy through your entire system. It can even help serious injuries and illnesses to heal!
“Without question, EFT has been the most valuable tool I’ve ever learned in clinical medicine. If I could only keep one tool, it would have to be EFT”.
~ Joseph Mercola, MD
Like acupuncture, EFT involves the stimulation of key acu-points, but we do it by tapping on those points, instead of inserting needles. It is also important that we focus on visual and verbal cues, while tapping, which helps to direct and re-balance energy flow as it re-patterns neural pathways in the brain.
Healing occurs rapidly and, often, enjoyably.
I’ve learned how to also use EFT for the deeper work of uncovering and updating outdated “survival programs” that cause self-sabotage via what I call the “personal operating system”. This approach can establish a level of self-acceptance necessary to move forward to the next level of self-awareness, so you can change your life to be the way you want it to be.
Click here to learn more about the subconscious mind from cell biologist Bruce Lipton.
Much like the Windows or Mac OSX operating system that is constantly running, behind the scenes, on your computer, elaborate programs (aka “cognitive structures”) are constantly operating in your subconscious mind. And it well understood that the subconscious mind is far more powerful than the conscious mind.
Ever try running the latest software on an outdated version of Windows? Crash, frustration, failure… right?
We all know about updating our computers, but most people aren’t even aware of their own “personal operating system,” which has been developing since birth. So, even as capable adults, we remain restricted by the limited capabilities of old programs designed by, and for, a very young child! This is why people tend to marry people who are like their mothers or fathers.
EFT is an excellent tool which lets us tap into your subconscious memory bank to reprogram yourself to achieve your desired goals, instead of staying locked in to the prison of early childhood demands.

Q:
Encoding a file
This one is a little tricky to explain. I would like to create a file, lets say, a .test file. Now, this is ridiculously easy to create and write, but I would like to encode the information so I could only interpret the information with the Test Program.
So, this Test Program would be able to create and read the .test files. And the point is that, only that program can read the file, you can't really interpret the information just by opening the file with Notepad as it wouldn't be read-able.
I would just like some direction as to how I could accomplish this. If you really didn't understand what I just said, I would like to know how to create or how does it work something similar to Bencode used in BitTorrent.
A:
If you want a really simply version, use python's base64 module. The file won't be recognizable opening in notepad anymore, but it'll be easy to decode if you know what you are doing.
If you actually want to prevent any other program from being able to encode it: don't. You can spend a lot of effort and the only thing you can really accomplish is annoying the person who wants the data.

Dysfunctional cytokine receptor signaling in severe combined immunodeficiency.
I have reviewed the data demonstrating that XSCID results from mutations in gamma c and that an autosomal recessive form of SCID results from mutations in Jak3, a kinase that interacts with gamma c and is responsible for transducing gamma c-dependent signals. These findings underscore the dysfunctional cytokine receptor signaling that occurs in at least two forms of SCID. Features of the biology of Jak-STAT pathways have been discussed, as have the potential roles of overactive Jak-STAT pathways in cellular transformation. Implicit in these findings are the exciting possibilities of gene therapy for XSCID and Jak3-deficient SCID, as well as the possibility that new immunosuppressive drugs might be based on the ability to disrupt Jak-STAT pathways. |
The applications of pharmacogenomics to neurological disorders.
The most common neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders, have received recent attention with regards to pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine. Here, we will focus on a neglected neurodegenerative disorder, cerebral ischemic stroke (CIS), and highlight recent advances in two disorders, Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's diseases (AD), that possess both similar and distinct mechanisms in regards to potential therapeutic targets. In the first part of this review, we will focus primarily on mechanisms that are somewhat specific to each disorder which are involved in neurodegeneration (i.e., protease pathways, calcium homeostasis, reactive oxygen species regulation, DNA repair mechanisms, neurogenesis regulation, mitochondrial function, etc.). In the second part of this review, we will discuss the applications of the genome-wide technology on pharmacogenomics of mental illnesses including schizophrenia (SCZ), autism spectrum disorders (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). |

The fastening belts are widely used in our daily life. One of these belts is formed by the elastic rope and the drag hooks on the two ends. When in use, pull the drag hooks on the two ends to prolong the elastic rope and circle the elastic rope on the objects to be fixated. Then, hook a certain fixated objects with the hook from the front end of the drag hook. In this way, the elastic rope keeps a firm grasp on the objects by the force of bouncing back, thus fixating the objects.
The fastening belts in the present market have their elastic rope tail fixating with the drag hook itself. The drag hook cannot rotate freely in the elastic rope. In our use, we often need to twist the elastic rope, which can not only reduce its life span, but also cause the rope to be off from the drag hooks under the great twisting force. It can cause the users a lot of trouble. |

Drug control authorities in China.
To provide an overview of China's drug control authorities. South Pharmaceutical Economy Institute. China's drug control authorities include the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA), which primarily oversees drug administration; the State Development and Reform Commission (SDRC), which is responsible for the drug price administration; and the Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce, cooperating with the Provincial Food and Drug Administration, to regulate drug advertisements. Although the drug control authorities presented here have played important roles in drug administration and have obtained outstanding achievements in the past several years, they are also hindered by their respective problems and try to explore the solutions. Other countries may confront the problems described here. It is therefore necessary to learn the current situation of drug control authorities in China, as well as the measures being taken to improve the situation. This understanding will aid countries seeking to enter China's pharmaceutical market. |
The normal immune system is under a balance in which proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cells and molecules are carefully regulated to promote normal host immune defense without the destruction of host's tissues. Once this careful regulatory balance is disturbed, nonspecific stimulation and activation can lead to increased amounts of potent destructive immunological and inflammatory molecules being produced and released. Thus, excess production of proinflammatory cytokines or production of cytokines in the wrong biological context, are associated with morbidity and mortality in a wide range of diseases.
Cytokines are pluripotent polypeptides that act by binding to specific cellular receptors. Their secretion is important in determining the duration and intensity of an immune response. Cytokines have pleiotropic effects and mediate a number of symptoms associated with inflammation.
IL-1β is involved in a wide variety of biological pathways, and is a potent molecule, able to induce its effects by triggering as few as one or two receptors per cell. As a signaling agent, IL-1β is effective at very low concentrations, even in the femtomolar range. IL-1β was first noted for inducing fever, augmenting lymphocyte responses, and stimulating the acute-phase response. IL-1β has a known role in inducint an inflammatory reaction in response to infection. |

Abstract
Heap size has a huge impact on the performance of garbage collected applications. A heap that barely meets the application’s needs causes excessive GC overhead, while a heap that exceeds physical memory induces paging. Choosing the best heap size a priori is impossible in multiprogrammed environments, where physical memory allocations to processes change constantly. We present an automatic heap-sizing algorithm applicable to different garbage collectors with only modest changes. It relies on an analytical model and on detailed information from the virtual memory manager. The model characterizes the relation between collection algorithm, heap size, and footprint. The virtual memory manager tracks recent reference behavior, reporting the current footprint and allocation to the collector. The collector uses those values as inputs to its model to compute a heap size that maximizes throughput while minimizing paging. We show that our adaptive heap sizing algorithm can substantially reduce running time over fixed-sized heaps. |

Q:
how to find a css class which has another css class as sibling
I have two css classes A and B that are applied on the same element. I want to change class A only when it has class B as its sibling. Is there any css selector that can do this?
A:
You can apply styles to different classes as usual:
.A {
/* Styles for class A */
}
.B {
/* Styles for class B */
}
Then chain both classes to apply more styles to elements only with both classes:
.A.B {
/* Styles for elements with both classes A and B only */
}

Promoting Electrocatalytic Oxygen Evolution over Transition-Metal Phosphide-Based Nanocomposites via Architectural and Electronic Engineering.
Exploring noble-metal-free advanced electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of great significance for development of sustainable energy systems. Rationally engineering chemical composition, electronic structure, and micro/nanoarchitecture of these catalysts represent a promising way to achieve their desired performance. Herein, we propose a general synthetic approach to prepare a series of porous nanosheets of bi- and tritransition-metal phosphides with homogeneous compositions supported by reduced graphene oxide (the resultant samples are termed as rGO/MaMb-P for simplicity, including rGO/CoFe-P, rGO/NiFe-P, rGO/CoNi-P, and rGO/CoNiFe-P). The resultant sheet-on-sheet hierarchical nanocomposites exhibit outstanding OER performance with low overpotentials, small Tafel slopes, and long durability in alkaline electrolyte, which compete favorably with the state-of-the-art OER catalysts reported to date. The remarkable electrocatalytic performances originate from their hierarchical structures and tailorable compositions with optimized electronic structure modulation and synergistically electroactive sites, together with large active surface area and smooth mass/charge transports. This synthetic route could serve as a facile and controllable process to simultaneously realize the architectural manipulation, compositional regulation, and electronic modulation for low-cost OER electrocatalysts based on earth-abundant metal elements in practical water electrolysis and other energy applications. |

Q:
how to touch on animated object iOS
For animation my UIImageView object I use these approaches:
Block animation
Begin/Commit method for animation UIView based object
The problem is next: When I try to tap on some object on my view it does not response to my action. Being animatable the object don't receive any calls from the main thread.
In my UIViewController I have method below that should handle touched object. All objects receive touch events but the objects which are using in animation block don't receive any events.
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
Anybody knows what is the probem here?
A:
In order for an animated view to recieve user events, UIViewAnimationOptionAllowUserInteraction must be passed into the options parameter.
