What Harvey Weinstein Must Be Thinking
RUSH: How about Harvey Weinstein? Have you heard about this? Twenty-three years in prison is his sentence. Now, if I'm Harvey Weinstein, I'm gonna tell you the first thing that hits me. You know, I've got my lawyers in there, and they're asking for five years. The lawyers are asking for a sentence of five years 'cause I may not make it any longer than that, which I think is a crock, but that's what they're saying, that's what they told the judge.
Harvey's in a walker, Harvey's this, Harvey's that, Harvey's incontinent, Harvey needs Viagra, it's falling out of his pockets, nothing to worry about with Harvey anymore, five years ought to do it. Then they pack the court. The first two rows were rape victims that were in the courtroom today. And the range, the sentencing guideline was anywhere from five to 29 years. He gets 23.
Now, this guy gave the Clintons more money individually than maybe anybody else out there, if you combine how much he gave Bill and how much he gave Hillary. And if I'm Harvey Weinstein and I'm sitting in Rikers Island today and my lawyers just told me that, "Hey, buddy, you're looking at 23 years," and we haven't even gotten to the trials in Los Angeles yet, and we haven't even gotten to the potential trials in France yet.
He's looking at 23 years in Rikers — well, he won't be in Rikers, but that's where he is now, 23 years. And I'm saying to myself, if I'm Harvey Weinstein, "What the hell did I give the Clintons all that money for? What did it get me?" Especially when Bill Clinton's out there roaming free, still capable and doing whatever he wants to do. I'm the guy that enabled him to get reelected — well, in part. Folks, Weinstein gave these people money like you can't believe. And after he had reached his limit, he's out there raising it for them and he's bundling it for them.
Weinstein was one of the primary money men of the Clintons and of Obama. And he's gotta be sitting there saying, "What did it get me?" Now, neither the Clintons nor Obama are in office and they can't pardon him now. That's not what I'm talking about. But where was the influence? Where was the assistance? Where was all the help while all these trials are going on? Where's Bill Clinton calling people, doing what he can to limit the damage here? I don't think Weinstein's asking anybody to get him out of this, but 23 years? If I'm Harvey Weinstein, I've gotta be livid. And I know things.
For example, was Harvey Weinstein ever on Jeffrey Epstein's Lolita Express jet? What do you think the odds are? I don't know. I haven't seen it. I'm just telling you, this is the way these people think, folks. You know, Weinstein and a lot of these people giving the Clintons money, yeah, they believe in the issues, yeah, they believe in the idea, yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's about much more than that.
It is buying influence. It is buying location. It is buying access. And I know the Clintons are not in office now and there's not much. But I'm still, if I'm Harvey Weinstein, "Well, wait a minute. How come I'm in here for 23 years. I gave these people all this money and they're roaming free." And, in fact she, Mrs. Clinton's running around acting like she may try to pick up the pieces of the Democrat primary.

Today I want to talk about vulnerability.
Vulnerability comes from the Latin word for "wound," vulnus.
Most people think that being vulnerable is a weakness. Whilst you are feeling vulnerable this may be the case, but exposing your vulnerability in the right arena does help you to develop strength within.
Being vulnerable and sharing your vulnerability to others shows that you are being your authentic self, you are human, that you do have flaws.
The quote below is from the author Brené Brown – Rising to the top. It sums up really well what vulnerability is and isn't.
For me becoming suddenly a single mother, home owner and responsible for my children's futureI felt very vulnerable in many areas. Financially, I just didn't have the resource available right away to help put food on the table and keep the roof over my head. Mentally, I wasn't prepared for the stress and the strain of being a single parent with financial burdens and the future of my children at hand, but to stop my feeling this way I soon made these weaknesses a strength, it wasn't easy, nothing ever is. I was lucky to have the support of friends and family, good mentors and business coaches to help me work things through.
Being vulnerable is not just on a personal relationship level, it can also be on a business level. As a leader, being vulnerable is something that can be in several areas. As a Manager, you may feel vulnerable whenever you have to talk to a co worker about their performance, or lateness or attendence levels, it can be difficult to approach, and it either is handled firmly, or sensitively depending on the circumstance. Those are the vulnerability points within that role.
Business leaders make decisions that may open them up to being vulnerable daily, whether it is gently letting a buyer down, or making a decision about the future of the company which may affect the employees.
Some may argue that they cannot afford to be vulnerable, but there is vulnerability in everything, a decision, a circumstance or situation sometimes not in your control.
If you are feeling vulnerable right now, then seek help, talk to someone who you can trust who can help support you through mentoring, finance, advice and importantly help yourself to heal your own wounds, don't rely on a Band-Aid to fix things, it does take time. Have faith and move forward with strength.

Due to unfortunate circumstances, I have been out of R6 for some time. I was hit by a 17-ton bus, then had a stroke and came down with Parkinson's Disease (got a Cherry Brown mechanical keyboard). Oh, and the pin fell out of my grenade, clipped to my harness. Also lost a string of PC's to bad luck failures. I have been retraining body and brain with LEFT 4 DEAD 2 for a while and just blew a pile jof cash on a very nice PC. Best I have had since my Amiga 1200. It is due to arrive in about a month. It is wery wery nice and I have decent internet service. Planniing to get a 1440 monitor @ 144 MHz. Hoping to get back into gaming with SAS, I miss not missing Col. RANDOM (Ret.) with my accidental discharges. Using a 7.1 headset.
I would like to pick up games I need during the end of year sales. What DLC do I need for ARMA III? What is most sensible way to approach the new, more complicated, Rainbow game SIEGE purchase? Do I need all those operators? What about INSURGENCY is it the Modern Inf. Combat one?
Hey cougar, don't think we've met but its nice to see people returning from the swat days.
About siege ubisoft took the rainbow six series in another direction and now resembles something in the likes COD, i don't suggest buying it but if you were the only thing you get tactical out of it are private coop sessions with friends. If you want diversity i suggest purchasing a year pack from the ubisoft store but its not really required.
Regarding insurgency, we've been playing insurgency sandstorm which is the new one that is still in beta. The game is turning out nice and is what mostly resembles ravenshield tho somewhat more casual. On public servers you will mostly find, in the words of one of my friends, cannon fodder. Inexperienced players that will mostly just run in there and get shot and killed, or you might get lucky and find seasoned players that actually know what they are doing.
ARMA and the DLCs go on sale all the time, so you can always pick up something you need later. I do recommend also getting at least Tanoa when you pick up the base game.
R6S is not like the Rainbow Six of old. Coop would be great if it had actual doors nad wasn't limited to 4 people.
Insurgency is still somewhat run and gun, it can be done more tactically than COD, but it is neither SWAT nor R6. Still some good fun though.
Looking forward to seeing you around, do make sure to take a look here to get started with our modset when you do pick up ARMA.
Luis and Fluffy. Thank you for your help with selecting games to purchase. I left a couple for DEC after my new PC kicks in the door and tosses a flashbang. Most of them will not run on my current desktop or laptop. Everything, literally, will run on the new one. Was a real pleasure, for first time, to not have to look as Sys. Req. on any game. Looking forward to feeling your hand on my shoulder as we line up along a wall. This will be the longest month of my life, I suspect.
Lots OF L4D2, CS and original R6 this month, I predict.
Welcome back, Cougar. Thanks for the warning. I'll keep my head down.
Welcome back , hope to see you around soon(RVS or Swat4) OS and SS still play some Coop and Adver in RVS.
Arma3 seem to be played more ,but my comp to slow and old like me.
I see Retired Sgt EZbassr (aka Snook) once in while mostly Adver OS or SS.

Practical Implications of Dynamic Markings in the Score: Is Piano Always Piano?

Abstract: Loudness is a little understood concept within music ontology. This paper takes some first steps towards understanding the meaning and practical manifestations of expressive markings in the music score, specifically those that correspond to loudness levels - such as "p" (piano), "mf" (mezzo forte), and "ff" (fortissimo). We present results showing how the absolute meanings of dynamic markings change, depending on the intended (score defined) and projected (actual) dynamic levels of the surrounding context. The analysis of recorded performances demonstrates different manifestations of the same dynamic markings throughout a piece of music. Reasons for this phenomenon include the score location of the markings in relation to the previous consecutive ones or in relation to their position in the score, such as the ending of a piece. Also text descriptions - such as "poco" and "piu" - contribute to the diversity. Next, we propose a method for abstracting the shaping of the dynamics in score time within the performances, presenting the results as dynamic landscapes. The observations show that each performance, although unique in its own way, follows a limited number of patterns in its use of dynamics. Future applications include synthesizing more natural sounding music from MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) and transcribing expressive score markings from audio input.

A technique is described where an atmospheric pressure-thermal desorption (AP-TD) device and electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass spectrometry (MS) are coupled and used for the rapid analysis of Bacillus subtilis spores in complex matrices. The resulting AP-TD/ESI-MS technique combines the generation of volatile compounds and/or pyrolysis products with soft-ionization MS detection. In the AP-TD/ESI-MS approach, an electrospray solvent plume was used as the ionization vehicle of thermally desorbed neutrals at atmospheric pressure prior to mass spectrometric analysis using a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer. The approach is quantitative with the volatile standard dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) and with the use of an internal standard (diethyl methylphosphonate, DEMP). A linear response was obtained as tested in the 1–50 ppm range (R2 = 0.991) with a standard error of the estimate of 0.193 (0.9% RSD, n = 5). Bacterial spores were detected by performing pyrolysis in situ methylation with the reagent tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) for the detection of the bacterial spore biomarker dipicolinic acid (DPA) as the dimethylated derivative (2Me-DPA). This approach allowed spore detection even in the presence of growth media in crude lyophilized samples. Repetitive analyses could be performed with a duty cycle of less than 5 min total analysis time (including sample loading, heating and data acquisition). This strategy proved successful over other direct ambient MS approaches like DESI-MS and AP-TD/ESI-MS without the in situ derivatization step to detect the dipicolinic acid biomarker from spores. A detection limit for the dimethylated DPA biomarker was estimated at 1 ppm (equivalent to 0.01 μg of DPA deposited in the thermal desorption tube), which corresponded to a calculated detection limit of 105 spores deposited or 0.1% by weight spore composition in solid samples (assuming a 1 mg sample size). The AP-TD/ESI source used in conjunction with the in situ methylation step allowed the differentiation of bacterial spores from other 'suspicious white powders' using a single stage for mass analysis and with minimum sample preparation, making this approach suitable for simple field-portable MS instrumentation and pattern recognition data analysis.


Two proposals have been published for comment at http://www.courts.ca.gov/policyadmin-invitationstocomment.htm.
The Advisory Committee on Criminal Jury Instructions is seeking comment on new and revised instructions reflecting developments in the law. The deadline for comment is Friday, January 6, 2017.
Recent legislation requires the Court of Appeal to issue its decision in cases involving the review of certain orders denying motions to compel arbitration no later than 100 days after the notice of appeal is filed. The legislation also requires the Judicial Council to adopt rules to implement this requirement and to establish a shortened notice of appeal period in these cases. These proposed rules are intended to fulfill this legislative obligation. The deadline for comment is Wednesday, January 11, 2017.


The first great guitar star of rock and roll presents all of his greatest recordings from 1958 to 1960. Includes his first three LPs and a bonus collection of singles not featured on those albums and contains over a dozen of his greatest hits such as, 'Rebel Rouser' 'Cannon Ball', 'Peter Gun' and '40 Miles of Bad Road' which helped to keep the raunchy spirit of rock and roll alive. Duane Eddy was undoubtedly a huge influence on a lot of budding guitarists and The Shadows and George Harrison no doubt took him as one of their chief inspirations. He is still recording and touring today making him a true rock and roll institution, an icon, the last true rock and roller, and well worth a look!


One stop we made while on vacation in North Dakota was to the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center at Fort Mandan. It was quite small but interactive. Here the boys each tried on the type of coat and hat worn by Lewis and Clark while on their exploration through the western United States which had been acquired through the Louisiana Purchase of 1803.
As a mother, I couldn't help but realize that these three photos will define the memory of the summer of 2012 for me. The two older boys still young enough to dress up for the camera, one beginning his last year of Elementary School contrasted with my youngest, KC, swamped by the same coat and hat and just beginning his Pre-K mornings of school this fall.
When my first son was born my mom advised that with each passing year motherhood just gets better. I have to agree with her. While I miss the coos and cuddles of my baby boys, nothing compares to the hoots and howls they bring to our home through their more mature and hilarious personalities. Time cannot be stilled but pictures do remain, a touchstone for the memories of one spectacular summer vacation spent in the wide open world of North Dakota.

Derek Jeter launches media website The Players' Tribune
@LohudYankees
NEW YORK – When Derek Jeter took off his uniform for the last time, he got dressed in a dark suit with a pinkish tie and sat for a 21-minute, end-of-career press conference. One of the very first questions asked: What's the first thing you're going to do now that you're free to do whatever you want?
"I don't know," Jeter said. "That's a good thing. I'll take some time off, I'll rest and relax just like I've done every season when the season is over with. I don't know if I'll necessarily realize it or anything will be different until about three or four weeks from now when I would normally start working out. At this point, I'm on vacation. Get away from it for a while."
Vacation lasted, what, two days?
On Wednesday morning, Jeter announced that he's going into – of all things – the sports writing business. He will be the founding publisher of a website called The Players' Tribune, which a press released labeled, "an innovative multimedia digital company where world-class athletes will share their unfiltered, honest and unique perspectives, bringing fans closer to the games they love."
In theory, it's kind of sports reporting without the reporters.
"I realize I've been guarded," Jeter said in an online letter announcing the new publication. "I learned early on in New York, the toughest media environment in sports, that just because a reporter asks you a question doesn't mean you have to answer. I attribute much of my success in New York to my ability to understand and avoid unnecessary distractions.
"I do think fans deserve more than 'no comments' or 'I don't knows.' Those simple answers have always stemmed from a genuine concern that any statement, any opinion or detail, might be distorted. I have a unique perspective. Many of you saw me after that final home game, when the enormity of the moment hit me. I'm not a robot. Neither are the other athletes who at times might seem unapproachable. We all have emotions. We just need to be sure our thoughts will come across the way we intend."
Legendary Entertainment, a film and television production company run by Chairman and CEO Thomas Tull, has joined the venture. And while he's clearly trying to separate himself from typical sports journalists, Jeter announced that several accomplished media members will have prominent roles.
Gary Hoenig, a founding editor of ESPN The Magazine, will be The Players' Tribune editorial director. Maureen Cavanagh, the former photography director for Sports Illustrated, will serve as creative director. Sarah Turcotte, former senior writer and general editor at ESPN The Magazine, will be the executive editor.
"My goal is for the site to ultimately transform how athletes and newsmakers share information," Jeter wrote. "Bringing fans closer than ever to the games they love."
How exactly that will work remains to be seen. Maybe that's what we'll find out on Jeter's fourth day of retirement.

Q: selectbox 1 selection controls select box 2 (But with data from mySQL) How do I control select box 2's output based on what is selected in select box 1?
If I select Record 1 from Select Box 1, it outputs the Record 1 ID in header. I want to output all Records in Select Box 2 with Record 1 ID.
How do I implement this, is my SQL select statement incorrect? Do I need to say something like:
Edit
Please delete.
$quer=mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT projectName, projectID

To our knowledge, the possible unveiled interaction between adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) has never been reported although it is well established that systemic autoimmune disease may usually occur in relation to AITD. As increasingly clear links of AITD with other autoimmune disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) have been reported, and the incidence of AOSD concurrent AITD draws our attention rapidly. In this study, we searched relevant literatures published in the past 30 years to explore that condition.
Keywords: Adult-onset Still's disease, autoimmune thyroid disease..
View Abstract Download PDF
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare systemic autoimmune syndrome of unclear etiology. In 1971, fourteen adults with arthritis and systemic symptoms in accordance with the features of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis or Still's disease were described by Bywaters. From then on, AOSD was regarded as a different disorder gradually by us [1], which was characterized by spiking fever, pruritic or nonpruritic evanescent rash, arthritis, pharyngitis, leucocytosis and lymphadenopathy, and less frequently, hepatitis and polyserositis [2]. There is no single diagnostic test for AOSD and it is mostly based on clinical and laboratory criteria with the exclusion of other autoimmune diseases, neoplasms and infection [1]. With several diagnostic criteria developed over the years, Yamaguchi's criteria has been the most widely used as a result of higher sensitivity (96.2%) and specificity (92.1%) [3]. Thyroid disease of autoimmune origin is a frequent condition affecting 1% to 5% of general population, especially mostly seen in women of their third to fifth decades. Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), usually includes Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), which are the most common reasons for thyroid disorders. An interplay among some conditions such as immune mechanism, environmental (for example, infection, iodine and stress), genetic and constitutional factors contributes to the mechanism of AITD. GD, the most common cause of thyrotoxicosis, is more prone to a family history with thyroid disease, especially with GD. GD can be incited by the combination of autoantibodies with TSH recepor which is activated then to stimulate thyrocyte growth and function. Through regulating
against thyroid antigen, HT turns into the most prevalent reason for hypothyroidism, which gets in connection with various endocrine disorders such as type 1 diabetes mellitus, Addison's disease and hypogonadism [4]. Diagnosis of AITD is based upon clinical manifestations and persuasive laboratory results including thyroid hormone, antibodies against thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and thyroglobulin (TG). 98% AITD are positive for either antibodies, so a negative test may rule out AITD [5].
A 43-year-old female patient without evident disease previously presented to our hospital with a 4-month history of intermittent wandering arthralgia on the left side, and also with spiking fever (the highest body temperature up to 40°C), thoracalgia and sputum for 3 months. According to the examinations of the local hospital, computerized tomography (CT) scan of the chest showed bilateral pleural effusions leading to oppressive lung parenchyma; mild inflammatory infiltration of both lungs; slightly pericardial effusion; cardiomegaly and swelling lymph nodes on the right cardiodiaphragmatic angle. Distinctive laboratory findings, as shown in Table 1, easily played a role in establishing the following diagnoses: secondary pulmonary tuberculosis; tuberculous pleuritis; tuberculous pericarditis and hyperthyroidism. Therefore, the antituberculous chemotherapy and anti-thyroid drug (methimazole) were initiated; however, a poor response was obtained. Then the patient transferred to our rheumatology ward. On physical examination, she appeared irritable, general fatigue and underweight. And palpable lymph nodes at bilateral inguinal region and supraclavicular fossa were also found. Laboratory test are shown in Table 1. According to the laboratorical results of the local and our hospital, Graves' disease (GD) was diagnosed.

Contrast-CT scan showed infection of bilateral lungs, slightly pericardial effusion and swelling lymph nodes at bilateral inguinal region and supraclavicular fossa. An abdominal ultrasound revealed splenomegaly. Thyroid ultrasonography revealed heterogeneous in echoic distribution and rich blood perfusion. Electrocardiogram showed only sinus tachycardia. A bone marrow biopsy and cytologic examination disclosed a hypercellular marrow hinting no lymphoma or other malignancies. Axillary lymph node biopsy displayed no lymphoma. According to the laboratory results, imaging studies, necessary exclusion and Yamaguchi et al. criteria, this case fulfilled the 1, 2 and 4 items of major criteria and 2 and 4 items of minor criteria, are shown in Table 2. AOSD was therefore diagnosed.
Since hospitalization in our ward, the patient had undergone an intermittent spiking fever (range from 38°C to 40.1°C) with evanescent rash. Considering the side effect of fever induced by antituberculous drugs, so stopped the treatment. According to the thyroid hormone level mentioned above, the thyroid function was improved and temporarily anti-thyroid drugs did not appear to be used by us. Although antifebrile drugs such as antondin and radix bupleuri (a traditional medicine that enable treat fever) were injected, and temperature was kept high. But when methylprednisone 30 mg per day was initiated, fever and rash gradually disappeared as well as thoracalgia. After she had received 2 weeks of therapy, the dose of prednisone tapered slowly. The secondary thyroid hormone test indicated remarkable hyperthyroidism (significantly increased FT3, FT4 and decreased TSH). Hence, methimazole was added. A week later, she was discharged with normal thyroid hormone and improved symptoms. CT re-examination demonstrated the disappearance of inflammation. During 1-year follow-up, the both diseases activity remained in remission.
As far as we know, the association between thyroid disorders and AOSD has never been reported. Nonetheless, the association of AITD with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's syndrome and Myasthenia gravis has usually been reported [6-8]. And the systemic autoimmune disease related to AITD has been widely known. Moreover, AOSD is considered as a varirant of rheumatoid arthritis, so the similar condition of thyroid disorders with AOSD may exist. In our study, coincidental link could not be ruled out.
In this case, the examination outside our hospital showed hyperthyroidism and anti-thyroid drugs were prescribed, which led to the normal FT3, FT4, TT3 and TT4 level and decreased TSH in our hospital. Therefore, the anti-thyroid drugs were discontinued. But the spiking thyroid hormone changes occurred during hospitalization. Two explanation might be correlated to this relapse. Firstly, methimazole was stopped and the recurrence happened; secondly, AOSD and thyroid gland might interact with each other. An early report by Chen et al. [9] was similar to our case. In Chen's case, elevated thyroid hormone concentrations and a palpable goiter had not been observed prior to admission. Although hydroxychloroquine was prescribed, Graves' disease appeared on the ten-day hospitalization and during the course of the disease, the hyperthyroidism had been aggravated whenever AOSD was in active stage. When the AOSD was controlled, hyperthyroidism improved accordingly. Besides, a study from Japan [10] also demonstrated Basedow's disease was serious when AOSD was in active stage and the pathogenesis of AOSD might lead to the relapse of Basedow's disease. In the Japanese study, the author reviewed the another five literatures in which three reports disclosed the two diseases occurred at the same time, one reported AOSD was prior to Basedow's disease and the remaining one was not available. Whole of them illustrated AOSD might well have an obscured role in thyroid gland. Moreover, it appeared that when AOSD and thyroid dysfunction coexisted, both of the disorders did not always get remission from corticosteroids. Despite the uncertainty of the precise mechanism in AOSD, the two conditions may share similar pathogenesis such as immune response, environmental and genetic factors, which may explain the interaction of both the disorders. Firstly, it has been demonstrated that type 1 helper cells (Th1)-mediated response, with elevated concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α (α-TNF), soluble TNF receptor-1, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-18 [11], predominates in the immunopatho-genesis of Still's disease [12]. IL-18 is regarded to occupy a vital role in the inflammatory cascade through regulating the Th1 response, and induces other cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-8, TNF-α and IFN-γ [13]. IL-1β, which modifies thyroid epithelial tightness of human thyrocytes through altering the expression and localization of junction proteins [14], promotes the progression of a number of autoimmune diseases including rheumatic diseases, AITD, multiple sclerosis (MS) and myocarditis. IFN-γ, with the potential for expressing MHC class II molecules, especially HLA-DR molecules in the thyroid epithelial cells of AITD, is always initiated by the infection of thyroid epithelial cells or appearance of thyroid antigens. And, the class II molecules enable the persistence of thyroid disease through acting as antigen-presenting cells to activate an autoimmune response [5]. In conclusion, both share molecular mimicry on the IFN-γ and interleukin level. Secondly, the cross reactivity of other autoantibodies with thyroid antigens or anti-thyroid autoantibodies or autorective T cells with other tissues and organs likely result in the concurrent diseases [15]. Thirdly, from genetically, HLA-DRB1*04 alleles correlated the two diseases [16-18].
Serositis, is a rare clinical manifestation characterized by pleuritis and pericarditis. In this case, the patient displayed polyserositis complicating cough, sputum and fever. It was extremely easy to misdiagnose the patient with pulmonary tuberculosis. After a period of anti-tuberculous treatment, the ideal result was not received. We could get a lesson from this study that AOSD affected systemic organs and tissues with wide variability, which even includes thyroid carcinoma as reported in the Inoue's study [19]. In that report, it shows that once AOSD is confirmed, we should also consider the malignancy thyroid disease such as papillary thyroid carcinoma.
So far, only a few reports have discussed the coexistence of AOSD and thyroid disorders. Literature research revealed five relevant reports (one in Chinese [20], one in French [21] and one in Japanese [10], and two in English [9, 22]). Among them (Table 3), two studies [10, 20] disclosed AOSD and thyroid disorders were diagnosed simultaneously; two [9, 22] indicated AOSD which was found before thyroid dysfunctions; one did not provide more information. In addition, only two reports provided the definite types of AITD (both were Graves' disease), but the remaining three studies had no information of detailed type of AITD and we also failed to obtain the type from the relevant antibodies level. As a result, from the three reports we only diagnosed hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. At present, we only believe the two diseases can interact with each other by their shared pathogenesis; however, the clear link between them fails to demonstrate the coexistence of AOSD and AITD is rarely published. With an eye to the limitation of this study, it would be better that when physicians diagnose their patients as one of the two, screen the another. Then we will have more chances to explore the correlation further and with the implementation of large-scale trials, it will be greatly advanced our understanding of the interplay and therapy.
In conclusion, coexistence of AOSD and AITD is so rarely published that the explicit relationship is hard to acquire, but we can believe they could interact with each other through their common pathogenesis. As more cases are reported, the hidden assiciation will become clear. Polyserositis is very scarce in the manifestation of AOSD. When, we, physicians encounter this sign, it becomes necessary to screen the relevant laboratory and imaging abnormalities. Circumstances permitting, a thyroid gland screening is recommended, especially in female patients. Finally, it is reasonable to reconsider the various manifestations of AOSD.

Tomas Andres Hilliard-Arce (born November 22, 1995) is a Costa Rican-American soccer player who currently plays for LA Galaxy of Major League Soccer.
Hilliard-Arce was born in Stamford, Connecticut, but grew up in the Charlotte suburb of Matthews, North Carolina. In high school, he played club soccer for Charlotte Soccer Academy in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. During his freshman and sophomore years, Hilliard-Arce played high school soccer with Providence Day School. While playing for the Providence Chargers, Hilliard-Arce earned all-state honors as a sophomore and all-conference honors as a sophomore and freshman. During his junior and senior years, U.S. Soccer Laws changed prohibiting him from playing club and high school soccer.
Ahead of the 2014 NCAA Division I men's soccer season, Hilliard-Arce signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Stanford Cardinal men's soccer program. Hilliard-Arce made his Stanford debut on August 29, 2014, where he started and played all 90 minutes in a 0–2 loss at Creighton. On September 9, 2014, he scored his first college soccer goal for the Cardinal, in a 4–1 win over UC Santa Barbara. Hilliard-Arce finished his freshman season with two goals in 19 appearances. Following his freshman year, he earned freshmen best XI honors from TopDrawer Soccer, Soccer America and CollegeSoccerNews.com, as well as second-team All-Pac-12. Hilliard-Arce remained a starter his sophomore year, during the program's first-ever national championship run. At the end of the season, Hilliard-Arce earned all-Pac-12 second-team honors as well as national second-team honors from TopDrawer Soccer.
Hilliard-Arce had a career year his junior year, where he helped the Cardinal repeat as national champions. His contributions, helped the program reach a record low 0.56 goals against average, one of the lowest in college soccer during the 2016 NCAA Division I men's soccer season. He earned first-team All-American honors from NSCAA and TopDrawer Soccer, as well as NSCAA College Cup Best XI, and was a semifinalist for the Hermann Trophy. At the end of the 2016 Pac-12 Conference men's soccer season, he was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year.
Speculation rose that Hilliard-Arce would go pro and forgo his senior year, but he returned for the 2017 season. There, he helped Stanford become the first program to three-peat as NCAA champions for the first time in over 20 years. Hilliard-Arce was named one of three finalists for the Hermann Trophy, but ultimately lost on voting to Jon Bakero of Wake Forest. Additionally, during his senior year, Hilliard-Arce repeated as the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, and was, again named, an All-American by various soccer media outlets.
On January 19, 2018, Hilliard-Arce was selected 2nd overall in the 2018 MLS SuperDraft by LA Galaxy. Hillard-Arce made his debut for the Galaxy on May 21, 2018 against the Montreal Impact. He was subbed on in the 91st minute.
American-born Hilliard-Arce is also eligible to play for Costa Rica through his mother. He trained with the Costa Rican U20 team in 2014.

Q: split dmp file into multiple dmp files? I am using Oracle 10g EE in Windows XP Operating System. I have a dmp file of 5 GB in my hard disc. I want to split this large dmp file into multiple dmp files and after splitting I will import those multiple dmp files.
I saw the following links but found not helpful.

*

*Split a dmp

*Split a dmp before import
How can I split this large dmp file?

A: Exporting a dump & importing it using a different user doesn't require multiple dump files, just pass the from/to user parameters
imp scott/tiger file=emp.dmp fromuser=scott touser=jeff tables=dept

If you still want to split to multiple files, you can try
exp scott/tiger FILE=D:F1.dmp,E:F2.dmp FILESIZE=10m LOG=multi-split.log

This'll create a new dump file every 10Mb.
As far as splitting an existing dump file, yeah I don't think that's possible. On what basis do you want to split them? Dump files are binary files, so text parsing them doesn't work.
Not really sure if that's what you want. You need to post your problem more clearly.

A: why you dont set condition for export command like this:
exp scott/tiger file=A1.dump log=A.log table=table1 query=\"ri>0 and ri< 1000000\"
exp scott/tiger file=A2.dump log=A2.log table=table1 query=\"ri>=1000000 and ri< 2000000\"

Q: Accessing Array Reference Variable For JSP Page First off thank you for reading! So I just learned JSP's and Servlets this week and this morning I started to tackle a program that accepts comments from a form and then displays them all on the same page! So far it works great but I'm having trouble taking this program to the next stage. Comment Deletion.
So, the way I got the comments to output is by putting each comment object in an array, and then concatenating each comment String together. By putting each comment into a static variable.
AllComments.addComment(comments[count].toString());
And then in my JSP page I have something like this
<%=AllComments.getAllComments() %>

So it works great. A new comment comes in, it's concatenated, and then all the comments are printed out as one formatted String.
The problem with this is even thought it works, by putting the comments all together I can never do anything to them again. So this makes it impossible to do my next step which would be to have a link next to each comment with the option to delete.
So in order to do that I'm thinking that I need to display the comments as a loop on my JSP page and show each comment as an individual String. And then if anyone clicks delete I can remove that comment from the array!
So far this is what I was doing trying in my JSP page
<%
    for (int i = 0; i < UserBean.getCommentCount(); i++)
    {
        %>
            <%=comments[i].toString() %>
        <%
    }
%>

However this isn't working b/c the scope of the comments reference variable is only within the protected doPut method and it's package. So what should i do to get my comments to output within the loop one comment at a time! You can view my entire servlet class below. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
if (!request.getParameter("fullName").equals("") && !request.getParameter("comment").equals(""))
{
    UserBean[] comments = new UserBean[10];
    int count = UserBean.getCommentCount();

    comments[count] = new UserBean();
    comments[count].setFullName(request.getParameter("fullName"));
    comments[count].setDate(String.valueOf(new Date()));
    comments[count].setComment(request.getParameter("comment"));
    AllComments.addComment(comments[count].toString());

    UserBean.incrementCommentCount();
}

A: You could set comments to request or sessions attributes, depends on whether you redirects to JSP or not. (If redirect then session, cause request attributes will be empty). And then get comments on JSP page from session or request.
Inside doPut method after filling comments
request.setAttribute("comments",comments);
request.getSession().setAttribute("comments",comments);

And on JSP page you will need to add to the top
<% UserBean[] comments = (UserBean[]) request.getAttribute("comments"); %>
<% UserBean[] comments = (UserBean[]) session.getAttribute("comments"); %>

Hope it helps.


Anyway, while I started off downloading my favorite SNES games, namely the DKC trilogy and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, I also came to a crossroads. This would be a really great way to try out a SNES game I have never played before. My top choices at the time were Super Mario RPG and Super Metroid (and Earthbound, but at the time, I was downloading games onto the Wii, and that game is only available on the Wii U). After some research, I decided to go with Super Metroid. I love Metroid. The reviews seemed a bit better. And I wasn't in the mood for an RPG. I'm over 80 hours into Lightning Returns at the moment. After spending 80 hours in Ni no Kuni. And who knows how many in KH2.5. I think I'm good on RPGs for a while now.
As a result, my progress through the game was rather slow. Sometimes I would spend a full hour just wandering around and scratching my head, and while I wasn't surprised the game was popular back in the day, I wasn't convinced I'd have the same experience a little over two decades later. Fortunately, that all began to change around the time I got the screw attack (I know, the game's nearly over at this point…), and it hit me that the game was starting to really grow on me. You see, I was really having trouble defeating Ridley way down in Norfair, so I returned to previous locations to find power ups I had missed. And as I explored these old locations, I noticed how easy the game had become.
Now I had no trouble getting around, finding numerous secret passages (now that I had the super useful X-ray visor), and defeating enemies was a breeze. Heck, I even got really good with the screw attack. I was seriously bad at the grappling beam (whether you prefer first-person or third, I thought the grappling beam was so much simpler in Metroid Prime), and when I got the space jump, even though I found it to be a slight improvement over the grappling beam, I still didn't understand how it worked. At all. You have no idea how long it took me to reach the room leading to the darn plasma beam as a result! At least it was easier than wall jumping….
Then, next thing I know, I return to the game after a several week-long break, obtain the screw attack, and I kid you not, I was flying around the screen like nobody's business. It was pretty awesome. And as I found one hidden upgrade after another, I started to think back about all the praise this game received, and I wondered, what do people love about this game so much? Because I finally understood. What, dear readers, do you personally love most about Super Metroid?
For me, I loved all the upgrades. I loved how I gradually became a force to be reckoned with. Not only did Samus's gear become better, but I eventually got much better at the controls, as well, which was really satisfying. Another thing I really enjoyed was finding all the hidden energy tanks, missile upgrades, and the like. In fact, it's one of my favorite things about the Metroid series, and I was really proud when I was able to find some pretty well hidden ones, including the Spring Ball. Last of all, I really enjoy games that tell a story without any dialogue. I won't spoil anything, but I found myself very intrigued during the game's last location, which turned to sadness during the final battle. Sometimes, a story can be so much more powerful when no one speaks.
I may be pretty darn late when it comes to checking this game out, but I am so glad I finally got around to it. And if you haven't, I seriously suggest checking it out. It's about $8.00 on the Virtual Console, and it's money well spent.
Super Metroid was definitely worth it. And for only a few dollars, I simply couldn't afford not to play it. I certainly need to try Super Mario RPG some time, too. And if it's not a really long RPG, that makes it even more appealing. I'm not in the mood for a big RPG at the moment.
My favorite thing about Super Metroid is how it's able to tell a fantastic story without shoving a bunch of dialogue and cutscenes at you. (Hoo boy, that final battle is an emotional doozy.) You're really in control of Samus, even if you happen to get stuck for an hour. On that note, you're right, though, about it not giving any sense of direction. Though I know the game well now, I certainly didn't when I started playing it, That's why I kept notes about the places I had been and where there were upgrades that I couldn't get in the moment. (Do kids even write stuff on paper anymore?) It took me a long time to be comfortable enough to play through the game without my notes.
I really liked that ending. I didn't expect it, and it made me rather sad. Sniff. I had trouble with the game at first because I didn't know to look for secret passages and the like, but once I did, I started having an easier time. Still a very challenging game, though, but I no longer needed to seek help quite as often.
When I played through it, I really enjoyed it's dedication to exploration and fostering an isolated atmosphere. It's just you, alone and exploring a hostile planet step by step.
I also liked the consistent level of difficulty. The game always stayed about the same in terms of how hard the current area was, but it still felt like you were progressing since the previous areas became easier to traverse.
That's an interesting point about the difficulty. I really liked how previous locations became easier because Samus got tougher. It was so satisfying being able to get through older levels with such ease when they had originally given me such trouble. I felt so powerful after a while.

Katie Couric: It's great to be traveling America among "the great unwashed"
AllahpunditPosted at 10:04 pm on October 26, 2010
It's not as bad as it sounds. She didn't mean it in a "these ignorant peasants sure do smell when they haven't bathed" way. She meant it in a "I love to chat with these ignorant peasants no matter what they smell like" way. She's a people person, guys. Accept it.
Rick Kaplan, her executive producer, says that "when she's on the road—in Iraq with David Petraeus—she has a great way with people. People like her and she likes them. There are anchors who consider being on the road a pain in the butt. She really looks for opportunities to feel the earth and touch people."
That's why Couric has spent recent weeks in Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and New Brunswick, New Jersey. She is touring what she calls "this great unwashed middle of the country" in an effort to divine the mood of the midterms.
Therein lies a key reason why Couric has sometimes struggled in her current job. She's always seemed constrained by the rigid, 22-minute format, a far cry from her freewheeling Today performances over a decade and a half. So she has devised ways to slip out of her $15 million-a-year prison—launching a Web show, engaging on Twitter, and getting out in the field.
Says James Lileks, who reminds us that "the great unwashed" is a phrase coined by one of the world's most notoriously bad writers:
If you can name the crime that will get me committed to a $15-million-a-year-prison, I will endeavor to commit it posthaste. But perhaps the reason she's struggled is contained in her quote: the middle of the country suspects she regards them as hobnailed dirt-smeared dullards. It fits with the idea that real America – smart, credentialed, urban, sophisticated – exists in a thin crust on either coast, with the rest of the country a parenthetical insert in the national narrative. Unwashed. Criminey.
No, amend that. "Real America," according to the coastal cultural viziers, is middle America, and that's the problem. "Better America" is what you get in New York. But only between certain cross-streets.
I wonder if Katie would agree, even privately. Just as everyone thinks they have a sense of humor, everyone thinks they're a populist — or rather, everyone thinks they're not an elitist. Salary's no barrier: Plenty of conservative media personalities do extremely well financially yet would bristle at the suggestion that they're among the elite. Politics is, in theory, no barrier either: I don't think of, say, Ralph Nader as an elitist even though he's farrrrr left ideologically. The combination of salary and politics might be lethal, though. Is there even a single rich liberal out there whom righties wouldn't instantly assume looks at middle America as the "great unwashed"? The only one who pops to mind is Bill Clinton but I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.

Albemarle, Mineral Resources sign integrated lithium deal
Hemanth 22 November 2018
Mineral Resources will partner with Albemarle to manage the Wodgina lithium project. Credit: Mineral Resources
Albemarle has signed an exclusivity agreement with Mineral Resources (MRL) to acquire a 50% interest in the latter's Wodgina lithium project and form a 50/50 integrated lithium joint venture (JV) in Western Australia.
Subject to the negotiation of documents, the JV will own and operate the Wodgina hard rock lithium mine, which is located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia and has an estimated mine life of more than 30 years.
Albemarle and MRL will also develop an integrated lithium hydroxide operation at the resource site if the deal is finalised.
As part of the agreement, Albemarle will be responsible for managing the marketing and sales of lithium hydroxide produced by the proposed JV.
Albemarle will pay a consideration of $1.15bn in exchange for the 50% interest in the Wodgina mine. The purchase price is based on the project's $2.3bn enterprise value.
The company expects the transaction to be accretive to its earnings.
Albemarle CEO Luke Kissam said: "This agreement is consistent with our corporate strategy of pursuing M&A opportunities that can accelerate and de-risk our organic growth strategy.
"We feel confident in leveraging this world-class lithium resource with an experienced and knowledgeable mining company like MRL to help meet the growing demands of our global customers."
The transaction will offer the company a 50% interest in all mineral rights within the Wodgina tenements, other than iron ore and tantalum, all fixed infrastructure and utility assets, the spodumene concentration plant and the project's mobile mining equipment.
Albemarle and MRL will form a company with equal ownership interests to manage the JV.
"We feel confident in leveraging this world-class lithium resource to help meet the growing demands of our global customers."
The companies will jointly fund, design, build and operate a lithium hydroxide plant at Wodgina. Albemarle will contribute its core design to the proposed plant that will produce at least 50ktpa of battery grade lithium hydroxide in the first stage and 100Ktpa in the second stage.
Once the spodumene concentration plant reaches peak production, the JV project will produce up to 750Ktpa of 6% spodumene concentrate from Wodgina.
The lithium hydroxide plant will be fed by the concentrate produced from the spodumene plant.
The exclusivity period is valid until 14 December this year and the parties need to sign binding definitive documents by the end of this period.

$pdflib->clip ();
$pdflib->fit_image($image, $x, $y, $options);

This will cut the image in the ellipse shape and also that image will fit into that.
Thanks!
