When i try to test my service through NUnit everytime i try to create the hubcontext

i get

        var builder = new ContainerBuilder();
        builder.RegisterType<Product_WCF_Service>().AsSelf();
        builder.RegisterType<DbFactory>().As<IDbFactory>();
        builder.RegisterType<UnitOfWork>().As<IUnitOfWork>();
        builder.RegisterAssemblyTypes(
            new[] {
                typeof(ProductService).Assembly
            })
            .Where(t => t.Name.EndsWith("Service"))
            .AsImplementedInterfaces();

        builder.RegisterAssemblyTypes(
            new[] {
                typeof(ProductRepository).Assembly
            })

        GlobalHost.DependencyResolver = new AutofacDependencyResolver(container);
        AutofacHostFactory.Container = container;
        AutoMapperConfiguration.Configure();
    }

My service implementation
public class Product_WCF_Service : IProduct_WCF_Service
{
    IUnitOfWork UnitOfWork;
    IProductService ProductService;

    public Product_WCF_Service(IUnitOfWork unitOfWork, IProductService productService)
    {
        this.ProductService = productService;
        this.UnitOfWork = unitOfWork;
    }

}
And my NUnit test which causes the exception to be thrown
[TestFixture]
public class WCF_Product_Service_Tests
{
    private Mock<IProduct_WCF_Service> ProductWCFService;
    private Mock<IUnitOfWork> UnitOfWork;
    private Mock<IProductService> ProductService;
    public WCF_Product_Service_Tests()
    {
        this.ProductWCFService = new Mock<IProduct_WCF_Service>();
        this.UnitOfWork = new Mock<IUnitOfWork>();
        this.ProductService = new Mock<IProductService>();
    }

    [Test]
    public void RetreiveDataFromWCF_Service()
    {
        byte commitStatus = 1;
        string response = string.Empty;
        var service = new Product_WCF_Service(this.UnitOfWork.Object, this.ProductService.Object);
        service.CreateProduct("", out response, out commitStatus);
    }}

It's driving me crazy as i cannot test my service at all!

A: OK I searched around and finally i found a solution. I' leave it here just in case someone finds this useful
when registering autofac i enabled the property injection
                        var signalRConfig = new HubConfiguration();
        var builder = new ContainerBuilder();
        builder.RegisterType<ServiceHub>().ExternallyOwned(); // SignalR hub registration
        builder.Register(i => signalRConfig.Resolver.Resolve<IConnectionManager>().GetHubContext<ServiceHub>()).ExternallyOwned();
        builder.RegisterType<Product_WCF_Service>().AsSelf();
        builder.RegisterType<DbFactory>().As<IDbFactory>().InstancePerLifetimeScope();
        builder.RegisterType<UnitOfWork>().As<IUnitOfWork>().InstancePerLifetimeScope();
        builder.RegisterAssemblyTypes(
            new[] {
                typeof(ProductService).Assembly
            })
            .Where(t => t.Name.EndsWith("Service"))
            .AsImplementedInterfaces();

        builder.RegisterAssemblyTypes(
            new[] {
                typeof(ProductRepository).Assembly
            })
            .Where(t => t.Name.EndsWith("Repository"))
            .AsImplementedInterfaces();

        builder.RegisterType<Product_WCF_Service>()
            .PropertiesAutowired();
        var container = builder.Build();
        signalRConfig.Resolver = new Autofac.Integration.SignalR.AutofacDependencyResolver(container);
        signalRConfig.EnableCrossDomain = true;
        RouteTable.Routes.MapHubs(signalRConfig);
        AutofacHostFactory.Container = container;
        AutoMapperConfiguration.Configure();

In my service i added the hubcontext as a property in
public class Product_WCF_Service : IProduct_WCF_Service{

    IUnitOfWork UnitOfWork;
    IProductService ProductService;
    public IHubContext InstanceHubContext { get; set; }

    public Product_WCF_Service(IUnitOfWork unitOfWork, IProductService productService)
    {
        this.ProductService = productService;
        this.UnitOfWork = unitOfWork;
    }

and it worked as expected! I can now access the hubcontext as usual
this.InstanceHubContext.Clients.All.onNotSavedProduct(message);

Of course you will also need the Autofac.Integration.SignalR and Autofac.Integration.Wcf packages

Photos show how a tree snake makes its body into a lasso to climb and hunt prey
A brown tree snake in a tree in Guam. Bjorn Lardner A new study shows a species of tree snake uses an unprecedented form of locomotion in order to climb objects like trees. The brown tree snake loops its body into a lasso around wide, cylindrical objects in order to ascend them. This lasso technique likely helps the snake scale wider trees and hunt birds nesting in the canopy. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

I was rambling about my thoughts on Time while working on this painting. I thought I would give you a quick peek at what it's looking like at the moment.
I've been working on it intensely these last few weeks of winter. It's a slow process of making it more complex and layered. There are some shapes in the lower right corner that are reminding me of the molecule models from science class…kind of strange and cool. It feels a little explosive to me too!
I'm going to let it dry. Then stare at it for awhile… because staring is the only way to see where it's going next.


EE formerly known as Everything Everywhere is a British mobile network operator, ISP and subsidiary of BT Group. EE was created in 2010 when Orange S.A. and Deutsche Telekom merged their UK businesses. After the merge EE became the biggest mobile network operator in the UK. EE has over 30 million customers and its 4G service is the most extensive in Europe. EE's mobile network covers 99 percent of the UK with 80 percent of the UK getting EE's double speed 4G network. In 2014 BT got into talks about acquiring EE. The purchase leaves Deutsche Telekom with a 12 percent stake in BT and Orange with a four percent stake. In January 2016 the Competition and Markets Authority approved the purchase unconditionally. EE also supports Mobile Virtual Operators on its network including The Co-operative Mobile, Asda Mobile and Virgin Mobile UK.
EE became the first mobile operator in the UK to host all its customer support jobs within the UK and Ireland. The jobs will hosted at EE sites in North Tyneside, Plymouth, Merthyr and Darlington. In a move described as "in-sourcing" 1000 customer service jobs will be available in the UK. Before makin this move a significant portion of the company's support staff was based in India and the Philippines. This move was taken in response to a 2015 report where customer service was reported to be less than satisfactory. Marc Allera, the chief executive of EE, has stated that customer service is a top priority for EE. EE also released a network status checker tool that gives customers updates on network performance depending on their location. The move has already paid off with the number of complaints per 100,000 customers decreasing from 30 in 2015 to 26 in 2016. Allera acknowledges that there is room for further improvement and the company made an official commitment to increase 4G coverage to 95 percent of the UK by 2021.
As part of their customer service delivery push EE have updated their My EE app on their website and mobile apps. The app allows users to perform various tasks such as checking data balance, managing extra charges, itemized billing and call history. Users can also use the My EE app to file complaints and contact customer service support. The app had previously been neglected and there had been complaints from customers. The app is currently available on five mobile platforms Amazon Mobile, Android, Windows Phone, Iphone and Blackberry. However, the company has announced that the Windows Phone and Blackberry apps will no longer receive updates due to the low number of users on those platforms. Users of these devices have been advised to use the My EE customer service website instead. The website is responsive, mobile friendly and has all the features available on the native mobile apps.
Striving to Make EE Number One In Customer Service.
EE's improvement of service delivery has started bringing dividends. Membership for the network operator increased for the fourth quarter of 2016. Allera has assured customers that EE won't rest and they are still looking for ways to improve customer delivery.

Gazans strike to protest violence
Action comes after Hamas-linked group dispersed protesters across Gaza.
09 Sep 2007 19:30 GMT
Many schools in Gaza have closed their doors
as part of a protest against violence [AFP]
At least 20 Palestinians were wounded as Executive Force members - armed with batons and stun grenades and firing into the air - dispersed hundreds of people across Gaza.
Sunday's general strike is the first since Hamas gained power three months ago.
The move marks the latest escalation between Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president and Fatah leader, and the leadership of Hamas, Fatah's rival.
Most shops were closed in the Rimal neighbourhood, a usually bustling marketplace, and noticeably fewer people were out on the streets.
In Gaza's largest market, all but a handful of fruit and vegetable shops and stalls were closed while Gaza City municipal employees stayed home in protest.
The Al-Azhar, Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa universities were also closed, as were the majority of state schools in the Gaza Strip.
Al Jazeera's Nour Odeh reports on the response in Gaza to the strike call by PLO
However, schools operated by the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) remained open.
At Shifa hospital, the territory's largest medical facility, only the emergency services were working.
One doctor at the hospital, a Fatah member, said he feared reprisals.
The hospital has witnessed several work slowdowns in recent months, as staff members protested against a move by Hamas to fire senior administrators who are members of Fatah.
"Doctors at hospitals, especially Shifa ... have stopped work and answered the call to strike," the medic, who preferred anonymity, said.
Hamas defiant
Hamas, which says it is imposing order in Gaza after months of chaos, shrugged off Sunday's strike.
"Businesses are functioning normally in the cities of the Gaza Strip, and the education system is functioning as usual except for some schools here and there which are preventing classes from taking place by illegally closing their doors," Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, said.
At least 20 Palestinians were injured in clashes with Hamas during Friday prayers [Reuters]
"The strike did not succeed and shows the failure of the new methods used by the Palestinian Authority leadership to try and weaken Hamas."
On the other hand, Kayed al-Ghoul, a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine [PFLP] leader, told Al Jazeera that the strike was an attempt to bring Hamas back into the democratic Palestinian national movement.
"We have recently witnessed attempts to impose the ideology of a particular party that sees nothing right in any parties' opinions other than its own.
"Last Friday, democracy was attacked ... the acceptance of other was violated.
"We want to reinforce democracy, multiplicity, respect for other opinions, freedom of expression and the use of peaceful means to express one's positions."

Planned Gifts may be made either during your lifetime or at death. They usually involve the assistance of professionals such as your accountant, attorney, or financial planner.
If you don't have a Will, the state has one for you. Laws are enacted in each state to determine what will be done with the assets of an individual who dies without a Will ("intestate"). Unfortunately, the state's "Will" does not take into account your personal values, Christian commitment, goals, family situation or needs. A Will enables you to decide who will become the next "steward" of the resources God has entrusted to you.
In your Will, you can name the person you would like to be the Guardian of your children. The Guardian has responsibility for the physical care of your children. By naming a Guardian in your Will, you, rather than the local court, can decide who should care for your children if something happens to you. Your children's financial needs can be met by creating a Children's Trust in your Will. It holds all of your assets for your children's benefit until they have reached the level of education you want to provide for them and are mature enough to handle an outright distribution from your Estate. In creating a Trust, you must appoint a person to be in charge of the Trust, called a Trustee. Your Trustee will invest the assets in the Trust and make decisions about their distribution to your children.
If structured and funded properly, the use of a Revocable Living Trust can eliminate court costs (except in an unusual situation); lower the amount of attorney time needed to administer your Estate, thus lowering attorney fees; and avoid time delays. In most situations, the successor Trustee can assume management of the Trust immediately. The payment of final bills, collection of insurance monies, sale of appropriate assets, etc., can be done very quickly. The actual time it takes to "administer the Estate of the decedent" by means of a Living Trust often can be reduced by half, as compared with the probate process.
On the other hand, Trusts are not for everyone. Because of the added initial cost, funding requirements and other issues, some people prefer a Will for their primary Estate Planning document. Even with the Trust, it is recommended that you have a Will, often called a "pour-over" Will to cover any assets not included in the Trust at your death.
Almost everyone today has some form of tax-deferred retirement program because of the tax advantages these programs provide. Retirement money is often a combination of employer-provided pension, profit sharing plans, personal IRA's, KEOGH's, annuities, etc.
The problem is that "tax-deferred" means exactly that. The tax is not eliminated; it is merely delayed until the money is withdrawn during your lifetime or by your children after your death.
The other way is to indicate in your Will or Trust that you wish to leave a portion of your Estate to Christian causes, and that the assets used for this gift should be those that have not previously been subject to income tax (known legally as "Income In Respect Of A Decedent").
Contact Barnabas Foundation to see if you are a candidate for these substantial tax savings by calling 1-888-448-3040 or visiting their website.
When planning for the future allocation of your Estate, you can use the occasion to reinforce the importance of the biblical concept of a tithe to your family. For example, if a couple with four children had an Estate of $600,000, a tithe of the Estate would provide $60,000 for charity and $540,000 to their children, or approximately $135,000 for each child.
The concept of a "Child Named Charity" actually was presented to Barnabas Foundation by a couple who had lost a child and wanted that child's share to go to their favorite Christian charities. It has become a popular way for many people to distribute gifts from their Estate.
For example, if a couple has four children and wants to include a "Child Named Charity" in their plans, they would divide their Estate five ways: one-fifth to each child and one-fifth to their favorite Christian organizations. A "Child Named Charity" makes a strong statement to family members about your commitment to Christian causes. At the same time, it still provides a substantial portion of your Estate for your children.
Sometimes Christians decide to leave most or all of their Estate to Christian charities. In some cases, the children of people who choose this option have substantially more assets than their parents, or they may have made lifestyle or financial choices that would make it undesirable to give them any more assets. Others who do not have children or other family members they wish to remember with a bequest may leave their entire Estate to the charities of their choice.
No matter what type of bequest you choose, we encourage you to notify the charities you have selected to make sure that your gift will be credited and use properly. If a charitable organization knows about your bequest and has made provisions for it, it is more likely that your gift will be handled and acknowledged according to your wishes.gift will be handled and acknowledged according to your wishes.
Barnabas Foundation's Stewards Fund, a donor-advised fund, is one of the best ways to maximize and simplify charitable giving.
The Stewards Fund enables a donor to make a one-time gift to Barnabas Foundation and decide later how the gift will be distributed to the donor's favorite charities. The donor receives an immediate tax benefit and has plenty of time to determine which charities to support. The Stewards Fund also provides the flexibility to ensure that gifts are applied in the most effective way. A donor can give appreciated assets, like stock; arrange for the sale of a business; or use the Fund as an alternative to a family foundation. The Stewards Fund accommodates many charitable gift opportunities, and also allows the donor to designate multiple charities from a single gift. A Stewards Fund account can be established by contributing a number of different types of assets. There is no set-up fee for this account and individuals may gain tax benefits as well, depending on the asset(s) they contribute.

A friend sent me a link yesterday via my Facebook page. It said that he agrees on more issues with Jill Stein, the recently named Green Party presidential candidate, on more issues than any other Presidential candidate in 2012. Besides thinking, "Seriously?" I couldn't help but wonder whom I would be most aligned with if I answered the questions in the survey honestly and with no intention of aligning to my candidate of choice, Ron Paul.
To make it even more accurate, you are asked to label the issue by importance. There are five options from least important to most important. By appropriately selecting these options, your concerns become prioritized and thus can be more closely aligned to a candidate's platform.
Obviously, as I mentioned earlier, you really need to answer the questions honestly to get a good read on your actual political affiliations. Even then, the choices can be very close. In my case, I aligned 90% with Gary Johnson and 81% with Ron Paul, my top two choices.
It was my 3rdchoice that disturbed me, and ultimately pointed out the fatal flaw in polls such as this. I was 61% aligned with Mitt Romney. Now, as we all know, Mitt has had a ferocious propensity for flip-flopping over the years. This poll takes into account the things that he is saying while on the campaign trail.. For that reason he came up as my 3rdchoice, since he is saying what conservatives (mostly) want to hear.
My 4thchoice was Barack Obama at 27%. This made a lot of sense to me because I do pride myself on examining all sides of a discussion and understanding that most things are not black/white in politics, but rather they are tinted with a Touch of Grey.
So, here is my challenge to you fine readers. Take the poll. Answer it as honestly and completely and specifically as you can. Then, take a moment to reply in the comments with you personal preferred candidate of choice, and the candidate that the poll says is most closely aligned to your own beliefs. Finally, pass this on tour friends and encourage them to do the same. Perhaps they'll even come to www.policymic.com and join up in order to share their scores.
By the way, not surprisingly to me, I had a 0% match with Jill Stein.


The modern Persians call this place Nakshi Rustam (" the picture of Rustam ") from the Sassanian reliefs beneath the opening, which they take to be a representation of the mythical hero Rustam.
This gigantic work, the line of which may still be traced throughout its course, was formerly called the Khandak Sabur or " Sapor's trench," being ascribed to the Sassanian king, Shapur I.
§ viii., " The Sassanian Empire."
BALASH (in the Greek authors, Balas; the later form of the name Vologaeses), Sassanian king in A.D.
ZOROASTER, one of the great teachers of the East, the founder of what was the national religion of the Perso-Iranian people from the time of the Achaemenidae to the close of the Sassanian period.
About the 5th century, during the rule of the Persian Sassanian dynasty, Mery was the seat of a Christian archbishopric of the Nestorian Church.
The name is pronounced Boosheer, and not Bew-shire, or Bus-hire; modern Persians write it Bushehr and, yet more incorrectly, Abushehr, and translate it as "father of the city," but it is most probably a contraction of Bokht-ardashir, the name given to the place by the first Sassanian monarch in the 3rd century.
This Lakhmid kingdom was more or less dependent, during the four centuries of its existence, on the Sassanian empire, to which it formed a sort of buffer state towards Arabia.
The district, however, was reconquered by Persia under the Sassanian dynasty, and we hear of Nestorian Christians at Samarkand, at any rate in the 6th century.
He began successfully to decipher the Pahlavi inscriptions of the Sassanian kings (1787-1791).1 In 1792 he retired from the public service, and lived in close seclusion in a cottage near Paris till in 1795 he became professor of Arabic in the newly founded school of living Eastern languages.
AIWAN, the reception-hall or throne-room of a Parthian or Sassanian palace.
The power of Ardashir, the Sassanian, however, was already rising, and the Parthian Artabanus died in battle in 22 4 (or 227); and Ardashir proposed to prove himself the successor of the Achaemenidae.
The Great Mosque, Ulu Jami, formerly a Christian church, occupies the site of a Sassanian palace and was built with materials from an older palace, probably that of Tigranes II.
If any vestige of Hellenism still survived under the Sassanian kings, our records do not show it.
The spirit of the Sassanian monarchy was more jealously national than that of the Arsacid, and alienrafts could hardly have flourished g y under it.
As for the date of composition, it is evident, from the conflicting statements in the different MSS., that there must have been an earlier and a later recension, the former belonging to 587-589 A.H., and dedicated to the prince of Mosul, `Izz-uddin Mas`ud, the latter made for the atabeg Nusrat-uddin Abu Bakr of Azerbaijan after 593 A.H., since we find in it a mention of Nizaml's last romance Haft Paikar, or the "Seven Beauties," which comprises seven tales related by the seven favourite wives of the Sassanian king Bahramgur.
SASSANID, Or Sassanian Dynasty (Or Sasanian), the ruling dynasty of the neo-Persian empire founded by Ardashir I.
But when the Sassanian empire was overthrown by the Arabs, the conquerors immediately advanced eastwards, and in a few years Bactria and the whole Iran to the banks of the Jaxartes had submitted to the rule of the caliph and of Islam.
They do not differ on any point of faith; the dispute is confined to a quarrel as to the correct chronological date for the computation of the era of Yazdegerd, the last king of the Sassanian dynasty, who was dethroned by the caliph Omar about A.D.
AC °E a� most important of these documents is the liturgical inscription of Hadji-abad, where the Arsacid and Sassanian alphabets are found side by side.
P. 248 f.) regards the former as probably derived from the " ancient alphabet of Eastern Iran, a sister alphabet of the Aramaean of the satrapies," while the Sassanian belongs to a later stage of Aramaic.
It was taken by Sapor (Shapur) II., and became the capital of an autonomous province of the Sassanian Empire, until it fell into the hands of the Arabs (c. 640), under whom it regained its autonomy.
In the south of Babylonia, in the district of Mesene (the modern Maisan), after the fall of Antiochus Sidetes (129 s.c.), an Arabian prince, Hyspaosines or Spasines (in a cuneiform inscription of 127, on a clay tablet dated after this year, he is called Aspasine) founded a kingdom which existed till the rise of the Sassanian Empire.
The Sassanian Empire.T hat the Arsacid Empire should have endured some 350 years after its foundation by, 4rdashirl.
The new empire founded by Ardashir 1.the Sassanian, or Neo-Persian Empireis essentially different from that of his Arsacid predecessors.
The Sassanian Empire, in fact, is once more a national Persian or Iranian Empire.
It was of fundamental importance that the Sassanian Empire could not make good its claim to world dominion; and, in spite of the title of its kings, it always remained essentially the kingdom of Iranor rather west Iran, together with the districts on the Tigris and Euphrates.
That Babylonia permanently remained a Sassanian province was due merely to the geographical conditions and to the political situation of the Roman Empire, not to the strength of the Persians.
Thus it is all the more worthy of recognition that the Sassanian Empire was a fairly orderly empire, with an excellent legal administration, and that the later sovereigns did their utmost to repress the encroachments of the nobility, to protect the commonalty, and, above all, to carry out a just system of taxation.
Yet it maintained itself not merely in the west, where its head resided at Babylonpropagating thence far into the Roman Empirebut also in the east, in Khorasan and beyond the bounds of the Sassanian dominion.
Of the Sassanian rock-sculptures some have already been mentioned; besides these, numerous engraved signet-stones have been preserved.
The fundamental work on Sassanian history is Theodor Nldekes Gesch.
(1887; containing a history of the Sassanian Empire, pp. 86 sqq).
De Bartholomaei, Collectio,i de monna-ies sassanides (2nd ed., St Petersburg, I875)~ For the inscriptions: Edward Thomas, Earl1 Sassanian Inscriptions, Journ.
In the interior of the Sassanian Empire the old troubles broke out anew on the death of Shapur II.
Was one of the most illustrious sovereigns of the Sassanian Empire.
This family was descended from one Abu Shaja Buya, who claimed to be of the old Sassanian house and had become a chieftain in Dailam.
Thus for the first time since the Arab conquest of the Sassanian realm Persia was ruled by a single authority, which extended its conquests westward into Asia Minor, where it checked the rulers of Byzantium, and eastward to India and Central Asia.
,Most 01 them go back to the 5th Christian century and ascribe to onc of the Sassanian kings, BahrSm V.
The truth is that we possess but a trifling portion of a very much larger Avesta, if we are to believe native tradition, carrying us back to the Sassanian period, which tells of a larger Avesta in twenty-one books called nasks or nosks, as to the names of which we have several more or less detailed accounts, particularly in the Pahlavi Dinkard (9th century A.D.) and in the Rivayats.
The first of the Sassanian kings, Ardashir Babagan (226-240), caused his high-priest, Tanvasar, to bring together the dispersed portions of the holy book, and to compile from these a new Avesta, which, as far as possible, should be a faithful reproduction of the original.
In its outward form the Avesta, as we now have it, belongs to the Sassanian period - the last survival of the compilers' work already alluded to.
But this Sassanian origin of the Avesta must not be misunderstood: from the remnants and heterogeneous fragments at their disposal, the diasceuast or diasceuasts composed a new canon - erected a new edifice from the materials of the old.
But to search for a precise time or an exact locality is to deal with the question too narrowly; it is more correct to say that the Avesta was worked at from the time of Zoroaster down to the Sassanian period.
The great bulk - over threef ourths of the Sassanian contents - especially the more secular literature collected, has fallen a prey to oblivion.
Another monument in the vicinity is a gigantic bas-relief, carved on the vertical face of a rock, representing the victory of the Sassanian Shapur I.
The city is said to have been founded in the 4th century by the Sassanian king Shapur II (309-379).
The modern name, a Persian word meaning "iron gates," came into use in the end of the 5th or the beginning of the 6th century, when the city was refounded by Kavadh of the Sassanian dynasty of Persia.
His chief publications are his translation of the History of Herodotus (in collaboration with Sir Henry Rawlinson and Sir Gardner Wilkinson), 1858-60; The Five Great Monarchies of the Ancient Eastern World, 1862-67; The Sixth Great Oriental Monarchy (Parthian), 1873; The Seventh Great Oriental Monarchy (Sassanian), 1875; Manual of Ancient History, 1869; Historical Illustrations of the Old Testament, 1871; The Origin of Nations, 1877; History of Ancient Egypt, 1881; Egypt and Babylon, 1885; History of Phoenicia, 1889; Parthia, 1893; Memoir of Major-General Sir H.
The ancient Drangiana (Zaraya, Daranka, " lake land ") received the name of " land of the Sacae " after this country was permanently occupied by the " Scythians " or Sacae, who overran Iran in 128 B.C. It was included in the Sassanian empire, and then in the empire of the caliphs.
24), became the founder of the New-Persian or Sassanian empire.
The Parthian capital Ctesiphon remained the principal residence of the Sassanian kingdom, by the side of the national metropolis Istakhr, which was too far out of the way to become the centre of administration.

No surprise: Americans worry about prescription drug costs
A new survey by HealthCare.com finds 4 in 10 Americans who need prescription medications are concerned that the cost of those drugs could lead to bankruptcy or debt.
The survey, reported by the online publication Drug Topics, polled 1,002 U.S. adults who have taken prescription drugs. The findings showed 44% of respondents overall were concerned about drug costs with 49% of Medicare Part D recipients worried.
Other findings:
One third (33%) said their drug costs are going up. Just 7% said their Rx costs had declined.
Nearly 3 in 10 (29%) said they had difficulty paying for food and housing due to the high cost of their medications.
4 in 10 think the government should regulate drug prices.
The top three ways people save money on drugs: Use generics (50%); use discount programs (30%) and opt for a 90-day supply (30%).

During my 24-plus years of training experience in wastewater, I learned that many operators were held back from advancing their operating license because they struggled with the mathematics portion of wastewater operator certification examinations.
This tool for operators — represented through video tutorials — offers mathematical templates for performing accurate wastewater calculations. It also provides definitions, explanations, and alternative applications for the calculations beyond the specific examples presented. In addition to operators, it may also serve educators, engineers, regulators, and others.
Some common calculations needed for combining concentrations are accessible below. Your specific calculations may have different requirements such as expressing the results as square feet, cubic feet, increment of millions, or even incorporating a time element in calculation solutions.
This is the 'Combining Concentrations' presentation in my series of "Math Solutions." If you have specific wastewater math queries, please submit a question.


14.90.070 Cost of Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
Pursuant to WAC 197-11-100 and WAC 197-11-420, the applicant shall pay all costs associated with preparation and circulation of an EIS to evaluate the environmental impact of the applicant's proposed development. The draft and final EIS shall be prepared under the direct supervision of the City Planner, pursuant to a 3-party contract involving the applicant, the City, and the preparer. The City may in part offset these costs by charging non-governmental entities for copies of any documents prepared under this section. The City Planner shall have the authority to determine that the EIS preparer is qualified to perform the work.

Hi, I am still trying to apply the consensus WGCNA to my own data following the Tutorial written by Peter Langfelder and Steve Horvath. I managed to draw the preservation heatmap etc, which corresponds to Figure 1 in the Tutorial II.5 (https://labs.genetics.ucla.edu/horvath/CoexpressionNetwork/Rpackages/WGCNA/Tutorials/Consensus-EigengeneNetworks.pdf). If I understood correctly the consensus modules are the preserved ones between both data sets.
But how do I obtain the differentially connected genes on my two data sets?
I also have a large number of consensus modules (=88), which makes these heatmaps a bit confusing. Do you have here any recommendations?
How do you define the differentially connected genes? Genes that apear in the preserved consensus modules in both datasets? Or genes that change their connectivity and direction in each dataset?.
You can merge the clusters (now I don't remember in which tutorial is this explained, but there is one explaining it).
I am not sure how I should define "differentially connected genes". If I understood correctly, than the ones which show up in the preserved consensus modules in both data sets are not differentially connected (because of the word "preserved"). Or am I wrong? So, according to these assumptions of mine, I would determine the genes that are differentially connected which change their connectivity and direction between the two data sets. But I don't know if this is right and how to extract them.
With merging the clusters do you mean Tutorial II.3 ("Relating the consensus modules to female set-specific modules (this section requires the results of Section 2.a of the female turorial"; https://labs.genetics.ucla.edu/horvath/htdocs/CoexpressionNetwork/Rpackages/WGCNA/Tutorials/Consensus-RelateToFemMods.pdf )?
You could then use DiffCoExp or DiffCoEx (not the same tools) that depend on WGCNA.
No, I was referring to the 2.b.5 section.
how to match Ref. and Test data set genes for module preservation based on WGCNA?
Is it correct to consider the genes of grey module resulted from consensus network analysis (WGCNA) as differential expressed?
What is `soft thresholding` with WGCNA?
