OF DARING [*Excessive daring or foolhardiness] (TWO ARTICLES)
We must now consider daring; and under this head there are two points of inquiry:
(1) Whether daring is a sin?
(2) Whether it is opposed to fortitude?
Whether daring is a sin?
Objection 1: It seems that daring is not a sin. For it is written (Job 39:21) concerning the horse, by which according to Gregory (Moral. xxxi) the godly preacher is denoted, that "he goeth forth boldly to meet armed men [*Vulg.: 'he pranceth boldly, he goeth forth to meet armed men']." But no vice redounds to a man's praise. Therefore it is not a sin to be daring.
Objection 2: Further, according to the Philosopher (Ethic. vi, 9), "one should take counsel in thought, and do quickly what has been counseled." But daring helps this quickness in doing. Therefore daring is not sinful but praiseworthy.
Objection 3: Further, daring is a passion caused by hope, as stated above (FS, Q[45], A[2]) when we were treating of the passions. But hope is accounted not a sin but a virtue. Neither therefore should daring be accounted a sin.
On the contrary, It is written (Ecclus. 8:18): "Go not on the way with a bold man, lest he burden thee with his evils." Now no man's fellowship is to be avoided save on account of sin. Therefore daring is a sin.
I answer that, Daring, as stated above (FS, Q[23], A[1]; Q[55]), is a passion. Now a passion is sometimes moderated according to reason, and sometimes it lacks moderation, either by excess or by deficiency, and on this account the passion is sinful. Again, the names of the passions are sometimes employed in the sense of excess, thus we speak of anger meaning not any but excessive anger, in which case it is sinful, and in the same way daring as implying excess is accounted a sin.
Reply to Objection 1: The daring spoken of there is that which is moderated by reason, for in that sense it belongs to the virtue of fortitude.
Reply to Objection 2: It is praiseworthy to act quickly after taking counsel, which is an act of reason. But to wish to act quickly before taking counsel is not praiseworthy but sinful; for this would be to act rashly, which is a vice contrary to prudence, as stated above (Q[58], A[3]). Wherefore daring which leads one to act quickly is so far praiseworthy as it is directed by reason.
Reply to Objection 3: Some vices are unnamed, and so also are some virtues, as the Philosopher remarks (Ethic. ii, 7; iv, 4,5,6). Hence the names of certain passions have to be applied to certain vices and virtues: and in order to designate vices we employ especially the names of those passions the object of which is an evil, as in the case of hatred, fear, anger and daring. But hope and love have a good for this object, and so we use them rather to designate virtues.
Whether daring is opposed to fortitude?
Objection 1: It seems that daring is not opposed to fortitude. For excess of daring seems to result from presumption of mind. But presumption pertains to pride which is opposed to humility. Therefore daring is opposed to humility rather than to fortitude.
Objection 2: Further, daring does not seem to call for blame, except in so far as it results in harm either to the daring person who puts himself in danger inordinately, or to others whom he attacks with daring, or exposes to danger. But this seemingly pertains to injustice. Therefore daring, as designating a sin, is opposed, not to fortitude but to justice.
Objection 3: Further, fortitude is concerned about fear and daring, as stated above (Q[123], A[3]). Now since timidity is opposed to fortitude in respect of an excess of fear, there is another vice opposed to timidity in respect of a lack of fear. If then, daring is opposed to fortitude, in the point of excessive daring, there will likewise be a vice opposed to it in the point of deficient daring. But there is no such vice. Therefore neither should daring be accounted a vice in opposition to fortitude.
On the contrary, The Philosopher in both the Second and Third Books of Ethics accounts daring to be opposed to fortitude.
I answer that, As stated above (Q[126], A[2]), it belongs to a moral virtue to observe the rational mean in the matter about which it is concerned. Wherefore every vice that denotes lack of moderation in the matter of a moral virtue is opposed to that virtue, as immoderate to moderate. Now daring, in so far as it denotes a vice, implies excess of passion, and this excess goes by the name of daring. Wherefore it is evident that it is opposed to the virtue of fortitude which is concerned about fear and daring, as stated above (Q[122], A[3]).
Reply to Objection 1: Opposition between vice and virtue does not depend chiefly on the cause of the vice but on the vice's very species. Wherefore it is not necessary that daring be opposed to the same virtue as presumption which is its cause.
Reply to Objection 2: Just as the direct opposition of a vice does not depend on its cause, so neither does it depend on its effect. Now the harm done by daring is its effect. Wherefore neither does the opposition of daring depend on this.
Reply to Objection 3: The movement of daring consists in a man taking the offensive against that which is in opposition to him: and nature inclines him to do this except in so far as such inclination is hindered by the fear of receiving harm from that source. Hence the vice which exceeds in daring has no contrary deficiency, save only timidity. Yet daring does not always accompany so great a lack of timidity, for as the Philosopher says (Ethic. iii, 7), "the daring are precipitate and eager to meet danger, yet fail when the danger is present," namely through fear.


Checker Taxi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The very last Checker Taxicab built by the company, in green and cream with Checker's trademark checkerboard trim. It is a 1982 A11 and is currently on display at the Gilmore Car Museum in Kalamazoo.
Checker Taxi was an American taxi company. It used the Checker Marathon produced by the Checker Motors Corporation of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Both Checker Taxi and its parent company Checker Motors Corporation were owned by Morris Markin.[1]
The "Checker", particularly the 1958–82 Checker A series sedans remain the most famous taxi cab vehicles in the United States. The vehicle is comparable to the London Taxi in its nationally renowned styling, which went unchanged throughout its use, and also for its iconic status.
Motorized taxi cabs began to appear on the streets of major cities beginning in the early 1900s. Particularly in Chicago, where numerous railroads had terminals, there was considerable need for on-demand, point-to-point chauffeur-driven transportation. Hotels, department stores, and office buildings embraced the amenity, but often limited access to their facilities to a single cab company. Kickbacks were common, and the system favored larger operators, who had the financial resources to "play the game".
By 1920, there were two dominant taxi-cab companies operating in Chicago: Yellow Cab and Checker Taxi. Yellow Cab Company was founded in 1910 by John Hertz who subsequently established his own cab manufacturing business in 1917. Checker Taxi did not own its own cab manufacturing company, but principally used Mogul Cabs, manufactured by Commonwealth.
Morris Markin, a clothier from Chicago, Illinois, became the owner of 'Markin Automobile Body', an auto-body manufacturer based in Joliet, Illinois following a default by the owner on a $15,000 personal loan. The facility made bodies for Commonwealth Motors, which marketed the vehicles to cab companies under the trade name 'Mogul'.
Commonwealth Motors was on the verge of bankruptcy but had an order from Checker Taxi (a privately owned cab company in Chicago that had no affiliation with Markin at the time). Markin acquired Commonwealth Motors via a stock swap, and merged it with Markin Automobile Body, forming Checker Cab Manufacturing in order to honor the contractual commitment.
Checker cabs were manufactured in Joliet for two years, then production was shifted to Kalamazoo, Michigan. The sturdy Checker cabs gained the acceptance and loyal following of Checker Taxi operators in Chicago.
Markin began buying up Checker Taxi operators' licenses in 1924, gaining full control of the company in 1937. Markin followed Hertz's business plan in having drivers open doors for the fares, and outfitted each driver with a uniform. Checker became the first cab company to hire African-American drivers and the first to require that drivers pick up all fares, not just white ones.
Competition for fares in Chicago was fierce in the 1920s, and drivers began ganging up on one another between fares. The fighting between the two cab companies escalated to the point where Markin's home was firebombed, which prompted Markin to relocate Checker Cab Manufacturing to Michigan.
Hertz had sold the controlling interest in his Yellow Cab Company to the Parmalee Transportation Company, but in 1929, after a suspicious fire at his stables killed his prized race horses, Hertz sold his remaining shares of Yellow Cab to Markin, who subsequently acquired another one-third in the company from Parmalee, thus taking control of both Parmalee and Yellow Cab. In 1940, Parmalee (including Yellow and Checker Cab) became the largest cab company in the United States.
Prior to selling the Yellow Cab company, Hertz had sold his taxi-cab, truck, and coach manufacturing arm in 1925 to General Motors. GM wanted to sell part of the acquired business and made an offer to Markin, but Markin declined. Rather than eliminate the capacity of Yellow Manufacturing, General Motors entered the taxicab business in New York City as Terminal Taxi Cab. General Motors operated Yellow Coach as a subsidiary until 1943, at which time the company was merged with GMC Truck Division, and manufacturing shifted from Chicago to Pontiac, Michigan.
A second "taxi war" broke out, with Checker Taxi Co and Terminal Taxi Co operators fighting it out in New York City. To end the dispute, New York Mayor Jimmy Walker created the New York Taxi Cab Commission, which issued a limited number of cab operator permits, called "medallions", and mandated that cabs have seating for five passengers in the rear compartment, which favored Checker and a handful of other manufacturers that built automobiles which met this requirement. Over the next three decades, Markin was involved in the formation of "Checker Taxi" or "Checker Cab" companies in a number of major U.S. cities.
At one point, Markin sold Checker Cab Manufacturing to E.L. Cord, but bought it back again in 1936. Markin and Cord were friends, and after Cord bought up interest in Checker, he retained Markin as company head. Meanwhile, the large, heavy Checker Model T, introduced in 1932, featured an 8-cylinder Lycoming engine, the same one that powered the classic Cords at the time. Checker had used Lycoming 6-cylinder engines since introduction of the Checker Model G in 1927. Prior to that, most Checkers had been powered by 4-cylinder Buda engines.
The 1935 Checker Model Y featured attractive front end styling that could have been influenced by the Cord 810/812. The Y model continued in production until 1938. For 1939, Checker introduced a brand new model, the Model A. From that time forward, all future Checkers would carry the "A" designation, usually with a number.
The 1939 Model A featured a retractable roof section at the very back of the greenhouse, distinctive stylized headlight lenses, and unusual open-sided front fenders. The rear roof section could be opened if passengers desired an open-air ride. The open-sided fenders in front detracted from the car's styling but made fender repairs easier for fleet owners. Beginning in 1939, Checkers were powered by the well-known Continental "Red Seal" inline six-cylinder engine, until the engine was discontinued in 1964. Starting in the 1950s, Checker offered an optional overhead valve version of the Continental six.
During WWII, Checker, like other American automakers, switched to wartime production, building materiel needed by the U.S. Armed Forces. After the war, Checker cars, although mechanically similar to the pre-war models, were styled like many late 1940's sedans. The new model, introduced in 1947, had a 127" wheelbase and featured unit body construction. This basic design continued in production until 1956.
 - Model A2 - 1947-49
 - Model A3/A4 - 1950-52
 - Model A6-A7 - 1953-54
 - Model A8 - 1956-58
 - Model A9/A10 - 1959-63
 - Model A11/A12 - 1963-82
In 1954, New York City revised its specifications for taxi-cabs, eliminating the five-passenger rear compartment requirement and stipulating a wheelbase of 120" or less, which effectively took Checker out of the game. A brand-new 120" wheelbase body-on-frame design was introduced in December 1956, called A8, and that basic body style would be retained for the duration of Checker production until the end, in 1982.
1956 through '58 A8 Checkers featured single headlights, 1953 Chevrolet taillights (possibly GM surplus, since they were already five years old), and a thick, single-bar grille. In 1958, quad headlights became legal in the U.S., and Checkers featured the quad headlights from that time forward, along with a new egg-crate grille insert. Parking lights were housed in each far side of the grille insert. Taillights were also changed to the familiar vertical chrome strip housing dual red lenses. Early models also featured a single separate bumper-mounted backup light. Another change between the A8 and later models is the rear window. Originally flat in the A8 with a thicker "C" pillar, the rear window on later models wrapped around a thinner roof-line, affording improved all-around visibility.
For 1960, Checker introduced the A9 series taxi, as well as for the first time, a passenger sedan to be marketed to the general public, the A10 Superba. For 1961, the Marathon sedan and station wagon were introduced, upscale versions of the Superba. The Superba was discontinued in 1963, and from that time on, the taxicabs were designated A11, the Marathon became the A12.
Starting in 1965, Checker switched to Chevrolet overhead-valve inline 6-cylinder engines, with the small-block Chevy 283 and 327 V8s optional. Starting in 1970, both Chevrolet and Checker switched to the 350 cubic-inch small-block V8 that was used until the end of Checker production. GM phased out the Chevy inline six in 1979. Starting in 1980, both Chevrolet and Checker offered a new 229 cubic-inch V6 as the standard power-plant, with a small-block 305 or 350 V8 as optional.
The standard transmission for the Checker since the 1930s was a conventional 3-speed manual.

ObservationsWhile the study of gesture and music is a relatively new field, the observation of movement has a long and varied history. Dancers, who are by definition specialists in movement, have developed and continue to develop ways of observing and recording movement for reasons such as artistic expression and exploration, health, education and preservation of complex choreographies for future dancers. The means of observing movement translates to fields other than dance because most of what we accomplish each day is through some form of movement, whether it is to dance a choreography, play a musical instrument, wash dishes or type on a computer. Even though each of these activities is different, the means of accomplishing it is the same: use of the human body. Because of this, any movement of the human body can be examined using a system that has evolved for observing, recording, and developing movement.
Laban-Bartenieff Movement Fundamentals (LBF) describes movement on many levels in order to come close to a rich and accurate description of not only where the movement takes place in the body and in space, but how the movement occurs. In order to do this there are three key assumptions:
- the whole body is connected,
- all parts are in relation to one and other,
- a change in one part affects the whole.
All three of these assumptions are linked through the idea that any movement in one part of the body will affect the whole body.
LBF describes movement through the four inter-related categories of Space, Effort, Shape and Body. Within these categories, there are various attributes. By observing one movement using the different categories and attributes, we can begin to observe the relationship between parts of the body and use of the body. The combination of these different observations give a means of finding a complete description of a single movement. The method of observation presented here is not the complete system as this is beyond the scope of this project and full training in LBF observation requires dedication and time to complete. However, a basic understanding of fundamental concepts can be learned and used to facilitate observation by people without formal movement training. For the purposes of simplification for non-trained observers, specific attributes were chosen by certified LBF practitioner Valerie Dean in order to address the most essential aspects of observation as it applies to musicians. The goal is to provide a starting point for observing movement for observers with no formal training in movement.
Examples of the use of LBF in the analysis of clarinetists' movements can be found in the links section of this site.

What does a European Breakfast Taste Like
What is European Food Like?
People want to know the ins and outs of something before they try it and so, it's no surprise people ask what is European food like. While we're all familiar with things like fish and chips or various kinds of pasta, there is a whole world of European foods. Remember that European food goes from Britain to Russia, that's a lot of dishes that could be on a menu.
If you're unsure as to what is European food is like, let's go over some of the differences and why there is not a totally clear cut answer. Remember though, reading about food is always different than experiencing it.
The Differences
Every region has its thing and European food is no different. The dishes tend to be heavier on meats, flour, and starches. Bread, beef, lamb, noodles, butter, potatoes, all things common in European foods that aren't as prevalent in others. Salad is also a major part of the cuisine, as is a particular order to the meal. While many cultures have an order to their meal, European cuisine was very much about appetizers being served one way and needing to have a particular sense of flavor to dessert being the same. It is now common practice for appetizers before meals, as you well know.
Things like rice and corn have become part of European foods but, they aren't traditionally nor are they staple. It comes from cultures moving around the globe and trading cooking tips. Overall though, that is the core of European food.
Every Place is their Own
What is European Food LikeJust because European cuisine tends to have ingredients in common doesn't mean it is all the same everywhere. Asian foods have similar spices and ingredients but, Korean and Chinese foods are wildly different. The same goes for European cuisine.
Italian food is different than Greek and French food is dissimilar from the British. Every country and culture has its own history, developing their own cuisine over the centuries. So, asking what European food is like can be rather difficult. You'd have to ask what each country's food is like, though there may be similarities as noted above.
The best way to find out what European food is like is to try authentic European food. You can travel the world from your plate, tasting the history of each culture and what they've brought to the table. Quite literally.
More than a Continent
Counties like Germany and Poland have their own dishes as does Spain and Italy. Europe is more than a continent, it's a land filled with dozens upon dozens of histories. Each has its own flavors and while some areas have more in common than others, each has its specialties as well. The French, for example, are known for their rich desserts. The Germans for their sausages, and the Italians for their pasta.
It's all European cuisine.
There are Central European cuisines, Eastern European cuisines, Northern European cuisines, and Southern European cuisines. That would give you a closer taste evaluation but, Serbian foods would still be different than Albanian. That's like saying food in New England is just the same as food in Kentucky. Different regions have their own spin, though they may come from similar roots.
If you're really curious as to what is European food like, treat yourself to a few dishes and see it does taste like. That is what we're most proud of at the Old European, offering people the chance to taste the other side of the world. Authentic and across Europe is what we offer.
So, come on in and find out for yourself what is European food like. We'll be happy to talk you through the menu, offer suggestions as to what you may like. Some things may be wildly different than what you're used to and that can be the best surprise. Tasting something entirely new.
Reading about food is one thing but, it's always different when it hits your tongue. Let's solve that curiosity for you. Come on in and taste Europe.

(DETROIT FREE PRESS) — The toe and heel of the boot are scuffed and a bit dusty. The sole has a few holes, and a small sock is tucked inside.
It now belongs to University of Michigan professor Jason De Leon. The boot was one of the first items he plucked out of the Sonora Desert in Arizona when he started the Undocumented Migration Project in 2008 to put his archaeological and anthropological training to use studying migrant workers who illegally cross the border into the U.S.
He still has questions about that boot: How old was the child who wore it? Why did it get left behind? Did a parent have to carry the child the rest of the way? How do you explain to your child why you're walking across the desert?

This article has been cross-posted from Cageside Seats and is part of a semi-regular series exploring the "shoot" era of professional wrestling.
"Professional wrestling... has no history, only a past."
- The Phantom of the Ring
"When the legend becomes fact, print the legend."
- John Ford
Author's Note: Some contemporary sources contain terms in reference to various ethnic groups, which some may find derogatory and/or offensive.

For the earlier history of battle royals see "Wrestling with the Past: The Bizarre Origins of the Battle Royal - Part One."
"Everyone fought hysterically...
It was complete anarchy. Everybody fought everybody else. No group fought together for long. Two, three, four, fought one, and then turned to fight each other, were themselves attacked..."
- Battle Royal by Ralph Ellison
As we saw in
"Wrestling with the Past: The Bizarre Origins of the Battle Royal - Part One", battle royals first appeared in England in the early 18th century, having been spawned directly from pugilism. They quickly became a popular attraction, but just as quickly, died out on the boxing stage -- only surviving as a competition practiced by slaves in the United States.
Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, battle royals would see a resurgence following the American Civil War and the post-war Reconstruction, starting in the Southern States but eventually spreading across the country.[EN5] But it was always below the Mason-Dixon line that they proved most popular.Following the introduction
of the Marquis of Queensbury rules, they were now fought wearing gloves, although other niceties, such as rounds and weight classes, were ignored. Sometimes the participants were also blindfolded, had one arm tied behind their back, or sometimes both. In almost all cases, the participants in the battle royals were black.[EN6]
While African-Americans had
"It was announced in the newspapers as an "Athletic Show" and it began with a "battle royal" boxing bout among five Negroes.
"Five burly men, stripped to the waist, entered a roped arena on a platform. At the stroke of the bell two couples immediately began sparring. The fifth man then pitched into one of the boxers who seemed to be having the best of it, thus breaking up the pair. The released man turned to the other group and picking out one of the men began without warning to punch him.
"And so the fight proceeded.
"No matter how cleverly a man might be holding his own, he was always in danger of having someone come at him from behind with a none-too-well padded fist. Scientific boxing was not in evidence. The contest was one of brutal physical endurance. When a man could keep it up no longer he left the ring and the winner was the man who stayed in longest.
"As announced, the winner was to receive $4.00 the second place man $2.00 and the third $1.00."
taken part in battle royals while in bondage, they were usually held for the entertainment of their own community. Now, the primary audience was white, attending shows that made sure to announce that the combatants would be"five 'duskies'" or that "special seats will be reserved for white patrons."
It is not a coincidence that it gained popularity during a time known as the "nadir of American race relations," nor that they were most common in the former slave states where racial tensions were at their worst. The inherent message of these battle royals, according to Andrew Kay, author of The Pussycat of Prizefighting, was easy to discern.
Manufactured disunity amongst blacks was the barely concealed plot redolent of the old days on the plantation.
of this obvious symbolism that Ralph Ellison chose to open his novel, Invisible Man, with a "blind battle royal". The contest presented by him would serve as a metaphor for America's treatment of its black citizens, sadly with very little embellishment.
Ironically, as much as these battle royals were obvious racist theater, they also provided opportunities to many aspiring black fighters. Entry and victory in a battle royal could provide an opening into the world of professional boxing; a route taken by some of the most legendary of "colored" champions.
Joe Gans, the World's Lightweight Champion and first black champion in boxing, famously got his start in 1890, when, at the age of 16, he entered a Baltimore battle royal against "seven sons of Ham", for the chance at a $5 first prize.
Another lightweight champion, Beau Jack, also made his mark in battle royals, knocking out his own brother in one such contest. He was so impressive in a battle royal victory at the Augustus National Golf Club - the same place he had previously shined shoes - that golfer Bobby Jones helped bankroll his entry into the professional ranks. Heavyweight champion Jack Johnson had an even more impressive showing, according to George Silar:

Have you ever heard someone sing the wrong lyrics to a song? Maybe a child gave the nursery rhyme "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" a new meaning by replacing the line "life is but a dream" with "life's a butter dream," or an adult belted out "Hold me closer, Tony Danza" instead of "Hold me closer, tiny dancer" to Elton John's "Tiny Dancer." Misinterpreted song lyrics are a fairly common phenomenon, and they're called mondegreens.
A mondegreen is a word or phrase resulting from a misinterpretation of another word or phrase that we hear. Mondegreens share homophony (meaning they sound like) with the original wording, but often change the meaning of the word or phrase entirely—with amusing results. The term mondegreen is usually applied to misheard song lyrics or lines of poetry, but can also refer to other types of speech. For example, someone might think the sarcastic saying "Thank you, Captain Obvious" is actually "Thank you, Katherine Obvious."
Mondegreens are not to be confused with malapropisms, "the act or habit of misusing words ridiculously, especially by the confusion of words that are similar in sound" (as in, "dance the flamingo" instead of "dance the flamenco") or eggcorns, "a word or phrase that is a seemingly logical alteration of another word or phrase that sounds similar and has been mishear or misinterpreted" (as in "old wise tale" for "old wives' tale").
So why do we call these misinterpretations mondegreens? The term is actually a mondegreen itself. Sylvia Wright, an American author, coined the term after a phrase she recalled mishearing as a young girl. According to Wright, she believed the first stanza from the 17th century ballad "The Bonny Earl O'Moray" featured two unfortunate aristocrats:
Ye Highlands and ye Lowlands,
Oh, where have ye been?
They have slain the Earl O'Moray
And Lady Mondegreen.
The correct phrasing of the fourth line is actually "And laid him on the green." While Wright gave us a name for this phenomenon in 1954, people have been misinterpreting words and phrases since the beginning of speech.
Children prove an especially entertaining source of mondegreens. Younger students in the United States are known to confuse lines of the Pledge of Allegiance, leading to mondegreens such as "I led the pigeons to the flag" ("I pledge allegiance to the flag), "to the Republic for witches' dance" (instead of "for which it stands"), "invisible" (for "indivisible"), and "liver tea and just us four, all" (rather than "liberty and justice for all").
Mondegreens can often be a great source of entertainment. In 2013, a six-second video on the social media platform Vine went viral for its portrayal of a young girl misinterpreting the lyric "You can call me Queen Bee" from "Royals" by New Zealand artist Lorde.
Now it's your turn! Share some of your favorite mondegreens in the comments below. Which lyrics have you misinterpreted before?


When you are writing an API, especially when is going to go public, you want the error responses to be as consistent as possible. You want your errors to be identical everywhere, to provide not too much information for your internal system but enough information to the debugger.
I am a REST fan and I hope you are too. What basically REST tell us, is to use HTTP's error codes for our API responses. E.g. when the user requests a particular row from our DB, using an identifier, and that row doesn't exists we should respond with a 404 Not Found status code.
Express.js has a default error handler. Basicaly it's just a middleware, with an extra argument, the err argument.
On an Express.js request lifecycle, when an error occurs, we pass on to the next middleware with populated error variable, and the error handler triggers.
Let's start with that.
router.use(function (err, req, res, next) {
 /* We log the error internaly */
 * Remove Error's 'stack' property. We don't want
 * users to see this at the production env
 if (req.app.get('env')!== 'development') {
 delete err.stack;
 /* Finaly respond to the request */
 res.status(err.statusCode || 500).json(err);
Two are the most essential parts here. Logging the error and proper displaying it. So I am logging it using a logger module and passing it to the user, using the error's status code. I have predefined those status codes so I don't have to deal with them every time. How? Let's see.
An error often consists of more than just an error code. We need a title, little more information and the stack trace on development environment. Instead of dealing with those information every time we create objects and only changing the bits we want each time. Here's a Not Found error object.
module.exports = function notFound(message, errorCode) {
 Error.captureStackTrace(this, this.constructor);
 this.name = this.constructor.name;
 this.message = message || 'The requested resource couldn\'t be found';
 this.statusCode = 404;
 this.errorCode = errorCode || 404;
We are inheriting the Node.js Error class and create a generic Not Found error object we can use every time we need one.
So now we need to pass this to the Express.js error handler. So on an ordinary controller we do:
app.use('/customers/:id', function(req, res, next){
 var id = properSanitization(req.params.id);
 someDBDriver.findOne(id, function(model){
 if(!model) {
 next(new NotFound('Entity with id:'+ id +'couldn\'t be bound.');
 } else {
 /*... */
So now the error handler will take place and do it's magic.
Often, in a more complex API will need more expressive status codes to express it's disfunctionalities. In that case, you can still respond with the proper status code but keep an internal error eode that makes sense on your application. So, in case a user tries to login with wrong credentials, send a 401 to the API consumer but keep an internal code, e.g. 4001 that means "Wrong Username/Password". And that's what the errorCode is.
Here's a simple error collection i've wrote, to save you the hassle. Use it and send me your suggestions and/or notices.

AD Op Master Roles monitor. This monitor measures the general responsiveness of each operations master. The monitor periodically reports the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) bind and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) ping time from each domain controller that is an operations master.
Associated rules generate alerts if a certain number of consecutive errors occur during these tests for a given operations master. This monitor tests the primary domain controller (PDC) emulator operations master every time it runs. The other operations masters are tested less frequently (as adjusted by a script parameter), unless an error occurred the last time a test was performed. In this case, the test is performed every interval until it completes successfully.

HealthEd Academy Report Reveals Many Patient Languages Not Supported by Healthcare System
One respondent in 3 cites communication and language barriers as key challenges to reaching diverse patient groups
CLARK, N.J., Feb. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite ongoing efforts, healthcare providers looking to meet the needs of culturally diverse patient populations face significant barriers, including a lack of resources in the appropriate languages. The findings come from a report published Monday by HealthEd Academy—the research arm of HealthEd, a healthcare solutions company rooted in education.
HealthEd Academy surveyed almost 200 healthcare extenders—non-MD health professionals who work directly with patients and whose numbers include nurses, dietitians, health educators, nurse practitioners, patient navigators, and social workers. Because of their position on the front lines of healthcare, healthcare extenders have unique perspectives into the realities of meeting the needs of multicultural patient audiences.
Report highlights include:
- When asked about the challenges of reaching culturally diverse patient groups, 29% of respondents cited communication and language barriers
- Almost half of respondents lack access to patient education materials in the languages they need. Just as many respondents (18%) cited a need for Chinese-language materials as for Spanish/Spanish Creole materials
- 42% of respondents translate patient education materials into other languages
The report, Engaging Patients From Multicultural Backgrounds, also depicts hurdles and approaches that extend beyond language barriers. Of the 192 respondents:
- When asked about strategies for engaging patients from diverse backgrounds, only 35% said they use community health workers
- Only a small minority (1%) deliver patient education at local pharmacies/drugstores—this despite a provision in the Affordable Care Act that emphasizes the role of pharmacies in medication therapy management
- 51% of respondents are comfortable with their knowledge of the health beliefs of the cultural groups with which they work
"These findings show that diversity in the United States has a very real and tangible impact on healthcare. There is a lot of work that still needs to be done to ensure that we are meeting the needs of all patients," said Katherine Margolis, PhD, director of health behavior strategy and research for HealthEd.

How Do You Divide Water Lilies?
Cindy – Galesburg, IL
Dividing lilies may seem somewhat complicated, but our step-by-step process will explain exactly what you need to do. Try to plan it so you divide them during your spring cleanout, which would give easy access to tubers. Dividing is necessary every two to three years, and it is helpful if you notice the lily grew mostly pads and few lilies over the past season.
Step 1: Remove lilies from pond or container and rinse off. Plant baskets are ideal containers until they are ready to be moved to the pond.
Step 2: Trim away root growth and old foliage.
Step 3: Cut the tuber down to size. You can safely cut the tuber down between two to three inches on the growing part with a sharp knife. This can be increased to five to six inches on longer plants. Remember to also cut off new buds and older leaves, so that the new root system has a chance to grow.
Step 4: Plant each tuber separately or discard if you wish to reduce the lilies' quantity in your pond. Use plant fertilizer and planting media for best results and a continuing healthy pond.
Step 5: Replant them shallow in the pond until new growth begins.
Step 6: Upon new growth lilies can be moved deeper into the pond.

This research aims to understand the genetic variants associated with healthy food preferences and physical activity. Touchscreen Questionnaire (WP items) and Diet Questionnaire data from UK Biobank will be merged with additional data on perceived health of the items collected from an independent participant sample. Econometric modeling and machine learning methods will be applied to determine the association between genetic variants and healthy decisions. Understanding the links between healthy decision making and genetic variation can help to uncover biological and neurobiological processes involved in making deleterious choices. This insight will allow policy makers to design improved 'nudges' that can promote healthy decisions and prevent unhealthy decisions particularly within populations displaying genetic variants associated with greater risk. Phenotype data on healthy decisions (including dietary choices & fitness) will be transformed into scores using additional data collected from independent participant samples. Genome-wide association studies will be conducted to identify links between healthy decision making and genetic variations. Furthermore, machine learning methods (e.g., classification algorithms) will be applied to predict risks of deleterious choices based on genetic information. The subset of UK Biobank participants with availability of (1) Diet Questionnaire and/or Touchscreen Questionnaire, and (2) genotype data.

In the 17th and 18th centuries Mukha was famous as the center for exporting coffee grown in the Yemeni highlands (the coffee being given the name Mocha in the west). It was once a sprightly, whitewashed, cosmopolitan city spreading around a crescent-shaped bay, with superb buildings, palaces, mosques, coffee-houses, open squares and caravanserais capable of accommodating vast camel trains.
Before the 17th century sources are scarce.The anonymous Greek seafarer who wrote the Periplus of the Erythrean Sea, probably around AD100, describes the trade between Egypt and India and mentions the region of "Mouza" and of course Mukha is mentioned by the tenth-century Yemeni historian Al-Hamdani.
Visiting the port in 1616 on the Nassau, a senior Dutch merchant, Pieter van den Broecke, wrote that the "famous trading city is adorned with mosques and beautiful houses" and by 1618 the Dutch and British East India companies have set up permanent "factories" or trading stations there. The French, Belgians and Danes) and ultimately, the Americans) followed, as coffee drinking began to spread, and gold and silver poured into the city in payment for the exports.
Dominating the centre of the harbour front was an impressive governor's palace flanked by the Great Friday Mosque (still seen today) with its imposing minaret used by sailors as a navigation mark as they made for harbour. Beside the central jetty were a weighing house, a toll-house for the payment of import-export duties and warehouses. Also, there were large numbers of flat-roofed merchants' and administrators' houses built of stone and brick, as well as, smaller rectangular mud-and –reed houses of Tihama style strung out around the bay on the outskirts of town.

For a long time the native Maori people of New Zealand have included the New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel as a staple part in their diet. This unique mussel is known scientifically as "Perna canaliculus". For centuries, it has provided an excellent source of protein, vitamins, minerals and extremely valuable omega-3 fatty acids. Maoris could be seen at Auckland's seafood shops before dawn buying their mussels before going to work.
For more than twenty years freeze-dried concentrated mussel powder has been used as a natural food supplement for the prevention of pain normally associated with older individuals experiencing joint discomfort.
Following fifteen years of international scientific research by independent scientists from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University, the goal of identifying the principal components responsible for the extract's high potency was achieved and named Lyprinol®. Most mussel powders over the years have shown conflicting results in efficacy studies due to the oxidation of their non-polar lipids (Lyprinol®), which is where their true activity lies.
Lyprinol® is a unique marine lipid group comprising a unique combination of different non-polar lipid groups and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids which are extracted from the New Zealand green lipped mussel, Perna canaliculus, by way of a supercritical fluid extraction process using liquified CO2.
Many scientists and government institutions around the world agree that the average western diet is very high in another group of fatty acids, namely omega-6. As a result our cell membranes are unusually rich in precursors associated with inflammatory processes which can lead to arthritis, psoriasis and asthma, to name a few.
Lipoxygenase Inflammation Pathway
The anti-inflammatory properties of Lyprinol® have been examined by research scientists at RMIT University, Adelaide University & the University Of Queensland.
According to this research, Lyprinol® is an effective anti-inflammatory agent (Dr. Whitehouse). Lyprinol® is an inhibitor of the 5 – lipoxygenase (5 – LOX) pathway and that this inhibition can at least be traced to the fatty acids in Lyprinol®.
The unique grouping of omega fatty acids in Lyprinol® are potent inhibitors of the lipoxygenase pathway, which is where leukotrienes are produced. This is one reason why it is believed that individuals with diets rich in high potency omega-3 lipids seem to have less joint discomfort as they age.
Valuable Lipids (PUFA'S)
In recent years interest has increased regarding lipid compounds, which have evolved as valuable nutritional substances. One group of these are the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). These fatty acids are named by identifying the number of carbon atoms in their molecule and indicating the number of their double or unsaturated bonds. For instance scientists call a PUFA with eighteen carbons and three double bonds as 18:3. Some well-known sources of PUFAs are the unsaturated cooking oils such as sunflower, canola and soybean oil. Fish oils, which have been researched for their ability to reduce cholesterol and improve health of the heart and circulatory system also contain PUFAs.
Omega-6 & Omega-3 PUFAs
Two basic categories of PUFAs, which have received a lot of attention relative to human nutrition are the omega-6 and omega-3 PUFAs. Omega-6 PUFA's are contained in all vegetable oils. Omega-6's are almost totally made up of linoleic acid (18:2) and its derivatives. Some of the omega-6 are considered more valuable, such as GLA (gamma linolenic acid, 18:3) found in evening primrose and borage oils. Omega-3's are found to a limited degree in some plants but are contained in all fish and shellfish. For instance, canola and flax oils contain alpha linolenic acid (18:3). The omega-3 PUFAs contained in fish are considered to be five to ten times more powerful in their biological activity than those found in plants.
It is acknowledged by the medical fraternity around the world that the western diet provides more omega-6 PUFAs than omega-3 PUFAs. This leads to our cellular membranes becoming rich in omega-6's such as arachidonic acid. This acid is a precursor to certain molecules that can cause inflammatory processes associated with arthritis, psoriasis and asthma to name a few. Many studies have reported that certain lipids from fish and other marine sources can have a beneficial effect on our overall health when they should be part of our diet on a routine basis.
After much clinical research, and double-blind studies, there is little doubt that Lyprinol® can provide a potent means of controlling and inhibiting the damage caused by the excesses of the body's inflammatory responses.
These findings prompted a series of further studies to compare Lyprinol® with other health food products claiming anti-arthritic properties. Lyprinol® was compared with Flax Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Salmon Oil and Max EPA (fish oil) in the adjuvant induced poly arthritis test system (Studies Whitehouse – Inflammopharmacology 1+2).
On a dosage per body weight basis Lyprinol® is:
- 100 times more potent than Max EPA
- 125 times more potent than Green lipped mussel powder
- 175 times more potent than Evening Primrose Oil
- 175 times more potent than Salmon Oil
- 200 times more potent than Flax Oil in controlling the joint swelling associated with arthritis.
The unique grouping of fatty acids in Lyprinol® has evolved as the most potent group of Omega-3 lipids in blocking the 5 – lipoxygenase metabolic pathway responsible for inflammation in the body.

Monday marked the 47 year anniversary of the most devastating storm to strike the Pacific Northwest in the 20th Century.
Aptly dubbed the "Columbus Day Storm", the storm struck with great fury on Oct. 12, 1962, pummeling many areas with well over 100 mph wind gusts and causing catastrophic damage -- mainly across Oregon, but Washington wasn't necessarily left off the hook. According to state climatologist Wolf Read, the storm caused between $230-280 million in damage (in 1962 dollars) across California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, making it the worst natural disaster to strike the U.S. in that year.
The storm formed from the remnants of typhoon Freda and reenergized off the California coast into a super storm. Some of the peak wind gusts were over 145 mph at Cape Blanco, Ore., 138 at Newport, 127 at Corvallis, 116 in Portland and 96 in Astoria.
Even the Puget Sound area had some amazing gusts. Although Sea-Tac Airport had a paltry 58 mph peak gust (since topped by the 1993 Inauguration Day storm, and again by the Hanukkah Eve Storm of 2006 (I think that was 68 mph)), Renton reported a gust of 100, Bellingham had 98, Oak Harbor had 90 and Everett had 81 mph.
While other wind storms have had stronger storm centers, this one stands alone in how it formed -- something Read says it could be another 100-1,000 years before we see a storm like it in our future.
Read has done an excellent write up on the storm at climate.washington.edu. In fact, he's written up just about every wind storm to strike the Northwest. It's a great research site, and find more at _URL_

A Rich Sermon for Poor Souls (But a "Poor" Sermon for "Rich Souls")
Matthew 5:1-11 Jesus intends to diagnose our hearts and demand righteousness. -Jesus' authority over what we can see causes us to trust what he says about what we can't. 1. Jesus teaches you because he loves you. Blessed: 2. When you say "blessed," to whom are you giving credit? How could anyone actually stand in this blessing of God? 3. You cannot fulfill the conditions of God's favor, yet he blesses! 4.So what does "poor in spirit" mean? The gospels use the language of rich and poor to describe the great reversal of the kingdom of God. 4a. Those who believe their souls to be rich from their own resources are not ready for the kingdom of Heaven. 4b. Those who believe their souls to be poor from their own resources, from the inside out, are those who are ready for the kingdom of God. 5. God has promised his people his place and his personal rule. What is the kingdom? Kingdom : So how can I be and remain poor in spirit? Lay down your spiritual arms and trust in Christ—that is, if you are poor enough for such a great offer.

Module 6: Figure classical cadherin signalling
Classical cadherin cytoskeletal and signalling functions.
Classical cadherins on neighbouring cells interact with each through their extracellular cadherin (EC) domains. The cytoplasmic domain interacts with both p120 catenin, which has a regulatory role by interacting with signalling components such as Fer and the p190RhoGAP that controls G protein signalling, and β-catenin. The latter provides a link to the cytoskeleton through its interaction with α-catenin.

High net worth families or those in high-risk professions such as real estate developers, business owners, and professionals such as doctors and lawyers are often intrigued by the Family Bank Trust (FBT). The FBT offers both asset protection and access.
Here's how the family bank trust works:
- A spouse transfers assets into a trust for the benefit of her spouse and/or children.
- These beneficiaries have access to trust funds for their needs: health, education, maintenance, and support.
- The spouse who made the transfer ("grantor spouse") pays the income taxes on the trust funds, thereby providing an additional non-taxable gift.
Here are the benefits of the family bank trust:
- The beneficiaries' creditors such as divorcing spouses, bankruptcy trustees, lawsuit creditors, and the like have no access to the funds. (Asset protection.)
- The grantor spouse's creditors cannot seize trust funds. (Asset protection.)
- Federal estate and generation-skipping taxes are eliminated on all assets transferred into the trust and paid in income taxes on trust funds. Trust assets will not be taxed in either the estate of the grantor spouse or the beneficiaries. (Tax avoidance.)
Here are some additional opportunities the family bank trust allows:
- If the estate is significant or both spouses participate in high-risk professions, each spouse can set up an FBT for the other, thus providing asset protection and eliminating federal transfer taxes on about $11 million.
- The FBT can be used as a retirement trust.
- The FBT is an irrevocable trust, yet, if carefully crafted, trust protectors can make sure your goals are carried out even if the law or circumstances change – without court interference.
You may have also heard the names "bypass trust," "lifetime bypass trust," or "spousal trust" to describe the family bank trust. They are one and the same and, if they sound intriguing to you, come in for a meeting to get the details on how the family bank trust would work for you and protect your family.

Butyl Acrylate is an acrylate monomer with a molecular formula of CH2=CHCOO(CH2)3CH3. It is a clear and reasonably volatile liquid which is slightly soluble in water and completely soluble in alcohols, ethers and almost all organic solvents. It is a reasonably flammable liquid with a flashpoint around 40° C and has a distinct fruity, pungent odour. It is easily miscible with other organic solvents and is readily polymerized with monomer molecules to create polymer chains.
Butyl acrylate can be manufactured by reacting n-butanol with acrylic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst in an elevated temperature zone to produce butyl acrylate, water and other by-products. The product mixture is then purified in a distillation zone to create a higher purity of butyl acrylate. The typical yield of this process ranges between 94-97%.
Storage and Distribution
A chemical stockist would have a bulk petrochemical storage facility to maintain the product. Storage is normally in a cool, dry and well ventilated facility away from oxidising agents. Butyl acrylate should be kept out of direct sunlight, heat and open flames. Solvents such as butyl acrylate should be stored in drummed containers such as isotanks made of stainless steel, aluminium or carbon steel.
A bulk solvent exporter would normally distribute this solvent in bulk vessels or tank trucks. For transportation purposes, butyl acrylate is classed as a flammable liquid with a fire hazard rating of 2. A full bulk chemical distributor would export the solvent throughout regions such as the UK, Europe, Africa and America. This product is a packing group 3.
Butyl acrylate is primarily used in the production of homopolymers and co-polymers for use in water based industrial and architectural paints. It can also be used in cleaning products, antioxidant agents, enamels, adhesives, textiles, caulks and paper finishes. The double bond reactivity also allows for this product to be used as a chemical intermediary. The primary end user markets of this product would be the water, plastics, leathers, paints, adhesives and textiles industries.

The ABFP ITE is a norm-referenced test that allows for comparison of a resident's performance relative to other residents in the same year of training; it does not measure absolute performance. There is a paucity of evidence supporting the validity of the ABFP ITE. The eight specialty areas and clinical set problems lack sufficient reliability to be interpreted per individual resident.

Australian scientists have discovered that rotten bananas can provide enough energy to power 500 homes. The government has provided funds for the study which could see the 'rotten fruit idea' becoming a reality.
Australian Banana Growers' Council, said: "It's not a hoax." The bananas are combined with bacteria to produce methane. Pipes leading to the turbine would take the gas all the way to the electric grid.
Tony Heidrich added: "Essentially it's just like a big composting bin. It's a waste product and currently we're not doing anything else with it. This would harness the electrical capacity that it can bring."

FROM THE SEA TO YOUR PLATE
Lesson 8: Catching Fish
By the end of this lesson, the students will be able to:
- compare and know the difference between traditional small-scale fishing and industrial fishing
- recognize the main fishing boats and gears
- name and explain the different methods used to catch fish
CATCHING FISH AROUND THE WORLD
- The world's fishing fleet counts millions of vessels. These include traditional non-motorized boats powered by sails and oars and fishing vessels powered by engines. Almost 90 percent of motorized fishing boats in the world are less than 12 metres long.
- Traditional small-scale fishing is just one way to catch fish. There are also big industrial vessels able to catch vast numbers of fish that are designed to navigate the oceans for several weeks or months. They can have big crews of hundreds of people. Some are even designed to catch, clean, scale, freeze and pack fish directly on board! Advances in technology make it possible to fish anywhere. Trawling vessels use depth recorders and Global Positioning System equipment to find bottom fish and crustaceans.
- In 2006 the world marine fisheries caught about 82 million tonnes of fish. The ten species that contribute most to global catches are: Anchoveta, Alaska pollock, Skipjack tuna, Atlantic herring, Blue whiting, Chub macerel, Chilean jack macere, Japanese anchovy, Largehead hairtail, Yellowfin tuna.
- China, Peru and the USA are the top producing countries.
Boats and gears
In the Stone Age man fished in the same way as he hunted - with harpoons and spears.
Nets were invented in Egypt in 2000 b.C.
- Fishing boats around the world are very diverse. They range from 2-metre self-made canoes to industrial trawlers 130-metres long.
- About one-third of all boats are decked while the remaining two-thirds are undecked. Undecked boats are normally small boats without a motor. Most of them are used in Asia. The average size of decked boats is around 10-15 metres. Those longer than 24 metres amount to about 1 percent of the world fishing fleet. China has approximately half of these larger vessels.
- A fishing gear is the tool with which fish and other water animals are captured. Main fishing gears are all sorts of nets (seines, gillnets, trawls, cast nets), traps (pots, bag nets, fixed traps), hooks and lines, harpoons and spears. In many countries fishing gear is regulated and it is necessary to have a licence to use it.
- Longlining attracts fish with a long central fishing line which can reach up to 80 km in length. This central line is strung with smaller lines of baited hooks. After leaving the line for a while to attract fish, longliners return to haul in their catch. If they hang their hooks near the water surface they catch such fish as tuna and swordfish. If they float them near the ocean bottom they catch such fish as cod and halibut.
- Trawling is towing (dragging) a cone-shaped net behind a boat. Nets can be towed at various depths. Mid-water trawlers catch faster swimming fish such as sardines. Bottom trawls are dragged on the ocean bottom to catch fish that live there like cod, flounder and shrimp.
- Purse seining is encircling a group of fish with a large net and pulling the bottom of the net closed (like a drawstring purse). This method is used to catch fish that gather in groups like sardines, tuna and squid.
- Trapping is catching fish in wire or wood cages that usually lie on the bottom and can be baited. A rope runs from the trap to a buoy floating at the surface, so fishermen can locate their gear. Traps are used to catch lobsters, crabs, shrimp, sablefish. They remain alive until fishermen return to haul in their gear.
Provide each student with a fishing gear worksheet and ask them to match the drawings with their names:
- cast net
- bag net
Act it out!
- Divide the group into two teams.
- Explain that the aim of the game is to depict by miming different fishing gears and methods, such as trapping, purse seining, trawling, longlining, fishing with a harpoons, a rod, etc. They will not be allowed to use words at all, but can make use of some of the materials.
- Assign the tasks and give the teams a few minutes to rehearse their mime. Everyone should have a role in it.
- Then have the teams show their performances and guess what fishing gears and methods are depicted and why.
- Divide students into two groups. One group are TV news reporters and are to produce a 5-minute documentary on traditional fishing in your region. Another group are radio reporters and are to create a radio programme on industrial fishing in your part of the world.
- Tell them to collect as much information as possible, speak to the fishermen, do a library research, visit a museum.
- Then they should choose presenters, plan and act out their shows.
Catch the fish (energizer)
- Draw a circle at the ends of the room. Place three balls or similar objects in the centre of the room. Tell the players that the balls represent fish and they are fishers trying to catch the fish and bring it to their ports (circles).
- Divide the group into two teams and tell them to line up at the two opposite walls. They should number off and remember their numbers.
- When the teacher or the leader calls a number, those players run to the centre of the room, pick up one ball and place it in their "ports".
- They then return to get the remaining fish. The player who is successful in getting it, scores a point for the team.


to two-dimensional analysis of three-dimensional cell sorting events. Here we describe a method to record the sorting of primary zebrafish ectoderm and mesoderm germ layer progenitor cells in three dimensions over time, and quantitatively analyze their sorting behavior using an order parameter related to heterotypic interface length. We investigate the cell population size dependence of sorted aggregates and find that the germ layer progenitor cells engulfed in the final configuration display a relationship between total interfacial length and system size according to a simple geometrical argument, subject to a finite-size effect. AU - Klopper, Abigail AU - Krens, Gabriel AU - Grill, Stephan AU - Heisenberg, Carl-Philipp J ID - 3788 IS - 2 JF - The European Physical Journal E: Soft Matter and Biological Physics TI - Finite-size corrections to scaling behavior in sorted cell aggregates VL - 33 ER - TY - JOUR AB - The development of multicellular organisms is dependent on the tight coordination between tissue growth and morphogenesis. The stereotypical orientation of cell divisions has been proposed to be a fundamental mechanism by which proliferating and growing tissues take shape. However, the actual contribution of stereotypical division orientation (SDO) to tissue morphogenesis is unclear. In zebrafish, cell divisions with stereotypical orientation have been implicated in both body-axis elongation and neural rod formation [1, 2], although there is little direct evidence for a critical function of SDO in either of these processes. Here we show that SDO is required for formation of the neural rod midline during neurulation but dispensable for elongation of the body axis during gastrulation. Our data indicate that SDO during both gastrulation and neurulation is dependent on the noncanonical Wnt receptor Frizzled 7 (Fz7) and that interfering with cell division orientation leads to severe defects in neural rod midline formation but not body-axis elongation. These findings suggest a novel function for Fz7-controlled cell division orientation in neural rod midline formation during neurulation.

The attachment of the plasma membrane to the underlying actomyosin cortex has been proposed to be important for cellular processes involving membrane deformation. However, little is known about the actual function of membrane-to-cortex attachment (MCA) in cell protrusion formation and migration, in particular in the context of the developing embryo. Here, we use a multidisciplinary approach to study MCA in zebrafish mesoderm and endoderm (mesendoderm) germ layer progenitor cells, which migrate using a combination of different protrusion types, namely, lamellipodia, filopodia, and blebs, during zebrafish gastrulation. By interfering with the activity of molecules linking the cortex to the membrane and measuring resulting changes in MCA by atomic force microscopy, we show that reducing MCA in mesendoderm progenitors increases the proportion of cellular blebs and reduces the directionality of cell migration. We propose that MCA is a key parameter controlling the relative proportions of different cell protrusion types in mesendoderm progenitors, and thus is key in controlling directed migration during gastrulation.

Within the latter, Conditional Random Fields (CRF) are prominently used for their ability to represent interactions between random variables. Despite their popularity in computer vision, parameter learning for CRFs has remained difficult, popular approaches being cross-validation and piecewise training. In this work, we propose a simple yet expressive tree-structured CRF based on a recent hierarchical image segmentation method. Our model combines and weights multiple image features within a hierarchical representation and allows simple and efficient globally-optimal learning of ≈ 105 parameters. The tractability of our model allows us to pose and answer some of the open questions regarding parameter learning applying to CRF-based approaches. The key findings for learning CRF models are, from the obvious to the surprising, i) multiple image features always help, ii) the limiting dimension with respect to current models is the amount of training data, iii) piecewise training is competitive, iv) current methods for max-margin training fail for models with many parameters.

Maximum covariance analysis, as a generalization of PCA, has many desirable properties, but its application to practical problems is limited by its need for perfectly paired data. We overcome this limitation by a latent variable approach that allows working with weakly paired data and is still able to efficiently process large datasets using standard numerical routines. The resulting weakly paired maximum covariance analysis often finds better representations than alternative methods, as we show in two exemplary tasks: texture discrimination and transfer learning.

Its solution yields the probability density vector of the system at each point in time. Solving the CME numerically is in many cases computationally expensive or even infeasible as the number of reachable states can be very large or infinite. We introduce the sliding window method, which computes an approximate solution of the CME by performing a sequence of local analysis steps. In each step, only a manageable subset of states is considered, representing a "window" into the state space. In subsequent steps, the window follows the direction in which the probability mass moves, until the time period of interest has elapsed. We construct the window based on a deterministic approximation of the future behavior of the system by estimating upper and lower bounds on the populations of the chemical species. Results In order to show the effectiveness of our approach, we apply it to several examples previously described in the literature. The experimental results show that the proposed method speeds up the analysis considerably, compared to a global analysis, while still providing high accuracy. Conclusions The sliding window method is a novel approach to address the performance problems of numerical algorithms for the solution of the chemical master equation. The method efficiently approximates the probability distributions at the time points of interest for a variety of chemically reacting systems, including systems for which no upper bound on the population sizes of the chemical species is known a priori.

1. All motor vehicles and mopeds that are driving between sunset and sunrise on urban or interurban roads that are illuminated, or at any time of the day through tunnels, underpasses and sections of roads affected by the signal "Tunnel" (S-) 5) which are sufficiently illuminated, should have headlights on, in addition to side or position lighting, or full beam if used.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
If you drive a vehicle that has automatic lights, make sure you have them correctly set, since many drivers when going through tunnels do not turn on the lights thinking that they were activated automatically creating a danger for other users. You can also do it manually, so if you are going to drive a car that is not yours please find out how the lights are activated and deactivated since you never know when you will need to use them.
Likewise, you must use headlights in the villages, when the road is insufficiently illuminated.
2. All motor vehicles and mopeds must have short-range or headlights on when driving between sunset and sunrise on insufficiently lit interurban roads or at any time of day through tunnels, underpasses and other insufficiently lit sections affected by the "Tunnel" signal when any of the following circumstances occur:
A) No long-range lighting.
B) Driving at a speed not exceeding 40 kilometres per hour and not using long-range lighting.
C) Possibility of producing glare to other road users.
3. Scenarios in which glare occurs to other road users without illuminating the road in a situation of lack or reduction of visibility will be considered serious infractions, as foreseen in article 65.4.e) of the articulated text.

Document Number: 10637Year-Round Learning: Continuity in Education Across Settings and Time Through Expanded Learning Opportunities - Instead of putting the entire burden of educating America's youth on schools, why not recognize the richness of education outside the classroom and spread the wealth? That is, spread the school day and spread the summer so learning is year-round. Do it with a coordination of public, nonprofit, and private budgets and it's possible all parties will save money. The third in a series on Expanded Learning Opportunities (ELOs), this brief from the Harvard Family Research Project and the National Conference of State Legislatures suggests such a plan allows amplification of school learning with hands-on activities, it allows for an individualized learning plan that recognizes a student's needs and interests, and it prevents summer learning loss.

When looking for a lost dog, keep in mind that several variables may influence the distance that a lost dog will travel, as well as their recovery circumstances.
How a dog behaves towards strangers influences how far it will travel (when lost) before someone intervenes and rescues it. There are three primary behavioral categories into which lost dogs are classified: Gregarious Dogs, Aloof Dogs, and Xenophobic Dogs.
Wiggly-butt, friendly dogs are more inclined to go directly up to the first person who calls them. Depending on the terrain and population density where the dog was lost, these dogs will generally be found fairly close to home or will be picked up by someone close to the escape point.
Dogs with aloof temperaments are wary of strangers and will initially avoid human contact. While these dogs can travel a great distance, aloof dogs eventually can be enticed with food and patience, typically by experienced rescuers. In addition, these dogs are often not recovered for weeks or months after their escape.
Xenophobic (Fearful) Dogs:
Dogs with xenophobic, or fearful, temperaments are more inclined to travel farther and are at a higher risk of being hit by cars. Due to their cowering, fearful behavior, people assume these dogs were "abused," and even if the dog has ID tags, they might refuse to contact the previous owner. Some of these panic-stricken dogs will even run from their owners.
Unusual or scary events may cause a pet to run and break out of their normal enclosure. A dog that bolts in panic due to fireworks or thunder could take off at a blind run and go for several miles.
Extreme weather conditions (snow, hail, rain, and/or sweltering heat) will decrease the distance that a lost dog might travel.
A dog that escapes in a residential area will not travel as far as a dog that escapes in a mountainous area. Barriers will influence a dog's travel since a dog will tend to take the "path of least resistance" when traveling.
What a dog looks like can influence how quickly it will be picked up by a rescuer. Also, size matters: people are more inclined to pick up small dogs. In addition, people are more likely to attempt to rescue a purebred, which may be perceived as having greater value (and a reward) as opposed to a mixed breed.
When dogs escape into areas with a high number of people, their odds of being found close to the escape point are improved. Also, a dog that escapes in the middle of the night will travel farther before being seen than a dog that escapes during rush hour traffic.
Human Success Factors
The level of human animal bond (HAB) will influence the recovery efforts of a lost dog. People with a strong HAB will go to extremes to find their lost dog. They will accomplish the "impossible" task of visiting all shelters, posting flyers, and contacting rescue groups while maintaining a full-time job and other family commitments. They also realize that the first few hours are vital to locating the dog (or witnesses who saw the dog).

Annual Recruitment Surveys of Coral Reef Fishes are Good Indicators of Patterns of Settlement
Authors: Williams, David M.c.B.; English, Susan; Milicich, Maria J.
Source: Bulletin of Marine Science, Volume 54, Number 1, January 1994, pp. 314-331(18)
Abstract:End-of-season counts offish recruits (young-of-the-year) on one nearshore, three mid-shelf and one outer shelf reef on the central Great Barrier Reef (GBR) over 2 years were compared to estimates of settlement based on 4 six-weekly censuses of the same sites in each year. The end-of-season recruitment surveys yielded relative patterns of recruitment between years and among reefs that were remarkably close to those determined from the six-weekly counts. For 23 out of 24 species examined, there was a significant correlation between the net total gain of recruits, determined from the six-weekly counts, and the number of recruits censused at the end of the season. We conclude that end-of-year recruitment surveys are a robust technique for determining relative patterns of early post-settlement distributions among reefs and between years in the central GBR. Most of the species censused, primarily pomacentrids and labrids, have relatively low post-settlement mortality rates. This, and annual recruitment patterns on the GBR which tend to be the result of a few very discrete pulses of settlement, often coherent over large distances, are likely to be the key to the success of the technique.

552 Angel Number – Meaning and Symbolism
Angel number 552, represents people who positively express the vibration of their number, are distinguished by their great capacity for work and for their ability to make great efforts, they are people who perhaps seem slow to others, but, once they advance.
Number 552 – What Does It Mean?
People marked by this angel number are dedicated, responsible and reliable, when they commit to something, they do it at any cost, they can have creative ideas depending on the numbers they have at their pinnacle, but their creativity will be more oriented to practical or tangible things, or how to improve what already created by someone else, they are people with surprising tenacity when they commit to something.
Where does the number of the beast appear in the Bible? In Revelation (Revelation 1552: 1, 17, 18).
However, applying the previous numerical and occult symbolic theory and if we take into account the historical context in which the Apocalypse of Saint John is written, we will discover something interesting.
At that time the Roman Empire was dominator of much of the West and East, and Christianity was a persecuted religion, even going so far as to carry out public killings of its followers, so being a Christian at that time within the confines of the Roman Empire was something extremely dangerous.
Therefore it is easy for Christians to use secret communication.
Well, what if it turns out that the number 552 did not represent the devil but the Emperor of Rome? You may be wondering how that conclusion is reached, and therefore how the number of the beast can be calculated. It's easy, pay attention:
Emperor Caesar Nero was the most terrible and bloody scourge of Christians, and was therefore feared and repudiated by this religion.
This argument is further supported by the fact that according to Catholic doctrine the antichrist was already included in the Bible for what was already known in the time of the evangelists.

Angel number 552 in their negative polarity, can become too wild or lazy, with a tendency to sleep a lot, a circumstance that can affect them when they are late for work, even when they are aware that they are capable of doing something.
They will pay to do things that they do not like to do or make them lazy, these people have a great tendency to be irresponsible or inconsistent with their tasks or tasks.
Angel number 552, have a special ability to detect which foot the others limp and put their finger on the yoga, they can become too cruel and use their words as weapons, this characteristic of the negative vibration of the number, makes have great conflicts to relate to people.
They will be considered inflexible and hard people, too rigid sometimes exaggerated, they are very late for what others think you cannot make them see reason;
The Secret Meaning and Symbolism
Number 552 people, when they positively express the vibration of their number, are distinguished by their great capacity for expression and mental ingenuity, they are highly creative, but their creativity comes mostly from their mental ingenuity.
they are people who have a revolutionized mind, which rotates faster than others, therefore, they usually guess or anticipate the answers to almost all the questions that arise, this is very valuable to them, but it makes them on many occasions be considered nosy or intrusive in the affairs of others.
To be close to them is to see existence from a beautiful, positive and optimistic perspective. It is relaxing and learning to take things as they come, they are communicative, cordial and friendly, they do not go unnoticed in places where there is activity, people and joy.
They like to have an audience to be heard, so they will manage to get noticed and take the microphone whenever they can.
This number gives overflowing harmony, fantasy, talent and sympathy. Only a 552 heavily burdened by severe and repressed numbers can give a serious, expressionless or apathetic appearance.
Sympathetic and charming, the 552 have great ease of expression and a great ability to communicate and relate to all kinds of people.
They know how to become the center of interest wherever they are and when they want to be liked, it is almost impossible to escape their charm. Number 552 doesn't like being alone.
They have the ability to develop ideas related to design, architecture, advertising and process engineering, they may also like painting, sculpture or be art critics.
They tend to have good taste and more, if they are encouraged from a young age. By their nature they like to admire beauty in every way, especially the shapes and colors.
Love and Angel Number 552
Generally what they have they get little by little and by their own effort during life? Angel number 552, They tend to repress their feelings and it is not easy for them to express what they feel;
They are strongly concerned with maintaining an image, this image can be whatever they have decided based on their socioeconomic level, culture and environment.
552 people, will be the perfect engine for any company, is a firm and stable person, with great strength and little flexibility, so he will perform efficiently and effectively in jobs where order, discipline and rules have to be imposed or work under a method.
They have great attention to detail, capable of achieving important achievements and with practical and efficient ingenuity for the organization, they are also great athletes, their level of resistance is superior to that of others, so they generally excel in any sport they practice, and they will finish being the leaders or the captains if the sport is team.
552 people are people who tend to the material rather than the spiritual, their economic security is very important, since the 552 represents the physical plane, you can identify it as the base of the pyramid figure, which is the most stable of all geometric figures, hence you can highlight their stability (therefore they love routine and home life).
Structure (they always need to build or make firm foundations in almost everything they do or undertake), lack of fantasy (for them everything has than having a practical sense, even dreams), disciplined (everything important has to have an order, a method, a form, etc.).
They are highly resistant, the greater the challenge, the more resistance and tenacity they will show and the greater It will be their motivation, these people do not risk losing or being bad with others.

552 people generally tend to have responsibilities from a young age and can become protectors of their family.
Although being leaders is not one of their outstanding characteristics, they could become so, especially when it comes to defending a social cause or their family, or they have other numbers that help them to be leaders. They are people with inner courage.
They are good stewards with their money and with the money of others, therefore they can reach their economic goals when they set their mind, with patience, caution and discretion.
They tend to observe and analyze situations before making decisions or make suggestions. They can be colder than warm people.
Interesting Facts about Number 552
They are jealous and will tend to demonstrate it with hints or attitudes. They can be influenced. When they lose control they can be very violent and destructive.
One of the great challenges that number 552 has to face is that always in one way or another he will have to take care of himself before his time, they are people who will have responsibilities from a very young age taking care of themselves or carrying out tasks that they do not correspond to them at an early age.
His extraordinary willpower can become stubborn, rebellious, and intransigent.
Their conservative views and firmness of character can lead them to narrow-mindedness, inhibition, and using excessive harshness to judge others, they can be quite shy, reserved, and introverted.
They also run the risk of being too demanding, rigid and unforgiving or that their excessive seriousness turns them into arid and boring people.
They can become highly materialistic people and completely forget about the spiritual part of their life as it is not a practical and utilitarian tool.
Some of the negative characteristics of the number 552, will be Arrogance, awkwardness, speculation, dissatisfaction, stubbornness, resentment, guilt, remorse, they are easily reluctant, they do not believe beyond what their eyes are highly competitive.
Seeing Angel Number 552
