Google Glass and Rapid Diagnostic Testing
A good deal of diagnostic tests are easy to perform but require a trained eye to interpret the results. Particularly with lateral flow assays, most famously used in at-home pregnancy test strips, simply knowing which lines mean what for different tests can require significant training and memorization. But cameras and computers can help automate that process and Google Glass has both, and in a convenient form.
A study just published in ACS Nano discusses the development of a Google Glass app that lets a clinician simply look at the lines on a test strip and receive back the correct interpretation within seconds. The app is voice controlled and provides both yes/no, as well as quantitative results depending on the test. The strips are marked with individual QR codes to identify which test is being performed and the app is supported by a server that actually analyzes the images and sends results back to Google Glass.
Holomic to Use Google Glass for Real-Time Diagnosis
A follow up to the ACS Nano paper is an announcement that Holomic is launching a Google Glass Platform for the measurement of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) and lateral flow immunoassays. Developed at the research lab of Professor Aydogan Ozcan at UCLA and licensed by Holomic, the Glass Platform is the first Glass diagnostic application to read RDTs for the real-time diagnosis and tracking of various diseases and health conditions.
Rapid diagnostic tests are widely used globally as a cost effective and quick method of diagnosing health conditions. They test for a variety of conditions including HIV, malaria, diabetes, thyroid, cardiac and other chronic and acute indications. Their accuracy and reliability can be significantly improved with digital readers, however, these tend to be expensive and bulky. Holomic introduced a cost-effective smartphone-based reader (HRDR-200) in 2013, and is currently delivering this quantitative reader for the accurate reading of rapid tests and connectivity with Electronic Health Records. With the Google Glass Platform, Holomic continues to lead in innovating technologies for point-of-care diagnostics.
The Google Glass Platform includes a custom-developed Glass Application software downloadable from the Google Glass server to your Glass. It is intended for use with RDT cassettes marked with QR code identifiers in well lit ambiances and no other hardware is required. It works like this: the Glass user looks at the RDT and with a voice command leads the Glass to acquire the RDT image with its camera and to transmit it to the Holomic Cloud-Server for rapid post-image processing. The server can be accessed from anywhere using a web browser to see a dynamic spatio-temporal map and real-time statistics of uploaded test results. Professor Ozcan and his team have tested the system with RDTs for HIV and PSA and have obtained outstanding results.
Google's Glass is still in beta and available only to a limited number of users. Likewise, Holomic's Glass Platform (Glass Application and Holomic Cloud-Server) will initially be available only to a limited number of researchers at universities and rapid test development organizations. Holomic's objective is to collaborate with Google, the Ozcan Research Lab at UCLA (see below), and the user community to further advance this promising platform for improved healthcare.
Ozcan Research Lab at UCLA Uses Google Glass to Track Dangerous Diseases
Researchers from UCLA's Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have created a Google Glass application and server platform that lets Glass users analyze point-of-care diagnostic tests targeted at a wide range of diseases and health conditions.
The researchers say the technology has the potential to enhance the tracking of dangerous diseases and improve public health monitoring and rapid responses in disaster-relief areas or quarantine zones. The system relies on the use of rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) in which blood or fluid samples are placed on small strips that change color to indicate the presence of a range of diseases and conditions.
Tests that can utilize this type of technology include HIV, malaria, and prostate cancer. Using Glass, the user captures an image of the test result. Once the image is caught by Glass, it is uploaded to a UCLA-designed server platform which relays accurate analysis of the RDT in less than eight seconds. The technology also works with commonly available in-home tests.
The technology allows for quantified reading of results to a few parts-per-billion of sensitivity. This is much greater than the human eye can see, therefore eliminating the potential of human error in results.
Aydogan Ozcan, principal investigator and the Chancellor's Professor of Electrical Engineering and Bioengineering at UCLA and associate director of UCLA's California NanoSystems Institute commented on the technology,
This breakthrough technology takes advantage of gains in both immunochromatographic rapid diagnostic tests and wearable computers. This smart app allows for real-time tracking of health conditions and could be quite valuable in epidemiology, mobile health, and telemedicine.
The server is capable of processing fast and high throughput evaluations of incoming RDT images coming from multiple devices simultaneously. A web portal where results can be viewed was also created. Maps charting the geographical spread of diseases and conditions and the cumulative data of all tests submitted over a period of time can be viewed through the web portal as well.
The researchers tested the technology on in-home HIV tests designed by OraSure Technologies and a prostate-specific antigen test from JAJ International. Images were taken under different conditions of light. Out of 400 tests submitted, the RDT reader was able to read 99.6%. Every test result read was accurate and quantified according to the researchers. Additionally, over 300 blurry images or images of the testing device taken under various natural-usage scenarios were successfully read 96.6% of the time.

He is a free-going sort who ran well at Clonmel the last day when a decent third. This will require another step up though and, although I'm sure he'll have his day one day, I'm just not sure it will be in a race as competitive as this.
After all the chat, I am just really looking forward to getting back aboard Presenting Percy who has his first start of the new season over hurdles. It's a high-class field and it will be a big ask for him to win this on his return. His trainer Pat Kelly has a plan for him though and you only have to look at his record with good horses on the big stage to respect that he knows what he is doing. This is all about getting him on track for a potential tilt at the Cheltenham Gold Cup and this is just one stepping stone on our way there. Looking at the race itself and the eye is very much drawn to Willie's (Mullins) at the foot of the weights and it won't be easy giving weight to the likes of Limini and Shaneshill.
The big race of the day is every bit as competitive as you might expect with a who's who of Irish staying chasers all declared to take their chance. I'm riding last year's winner Monbeg Notorious who races off a lofty mark of 152 this time around rather than last year's winning mark of 137. Obviously, life will be a lot tougher and he also comes here without having had a prep. He does go well at the track though and will relish the soft ground so there are definite grounds for optimism. Looking at the rest and I've huge respect for Irish Grand National winner General Principle who will surely give Jack (Kennedy) a lovely spin. Willie (Mullins) has a big team like you might expect and I thought Pleasant Company might go well at a decent price back over fences.
My final ride of the day is back aboard Veinard in the beginners chase. He actually ran well enough the last day, but he has become a little disappointing. We all know he has plenty of ability and I suppose it just comes down to whether he is on a going day or not.

Q: How safe is reading a void * pointing to a char as an int? How safe is reading a void * pointing to a char as an int?
Example: To test the first bit of a char in a system where 8 bit chars are much slower to access than 32 bit ints.
char c = 'B'; // a char here to illustrate the potentially dangerous case, but the
              // point is this could be a char, could be an int... I am just
              // interested in the first bit
void *v = &c;
int i = *(int *)v;
if (i & 0x01)
{
    printf("yep");
}

Seems to work, but if my char (c) was right at the edge of the valid memory allocated to this process, would it be reading into invalid memory? Or is the system clever enough to stop copying after the first 8 bits?
thanks

A: It's undefined behavior in all cases.
In most practical systems, it will read normally from both c and adjacent memory, failing (with access violation aka segmentation fault) if c is close to the end of a memory page and the adjacent page is marked unreadable.
In a smaller but still non-trivial number of systems, you're likely to get an alignment fault and/or read a 32-bit value overlapping with c but with c at some location other than the start.
But if the compiler catches you doing this, it has permission from the Standard to "optimize" all your code in very broken ways.

If you're afraid of systems where 8-bit accesses are slow, then use int_fast8_t instead of char.  That lets your build environment pick a better variable size.

A: No, it's not safe.
And your use case is totally artificial as I have NEVER heard of a system where reading a 32-bit value is faster than reading an 8-bit one. If anything, it's sometimes the other way around.
(And even if you found such a system, leave "optimizations" like this to the compiler. it will do a much better job.)

A: The system is not clever enough, and your program is prone to memory access violations

A: It's simply undefined behavior.
On the other hand I can imagine a situation where this will work. Notice that after declaring c, you declare v. Since c is on stack, by casting it's address to void* and then dereferencing it you might get int which will be made of 1 byte from c and 3 bytes from v. But this is all just one of many possible implementations.

A: The int variable is going to be loaded with 3 bytes plus the one you want to load. Also your cast to int may cause misalignment. And, this cast is not portable between platforms that differs in endianess according to the way you mask inside the if. This is a bad approach, rearchitect your system to avoid the current situation.

A lot of moral questions are packed into this quick read, and I was thinking about the story long after I finished the book. You know that there will be a murder, but all the events leading up to the murder leave you wondering how it could have possibly happened. I enjoyed Garcia Marquez's journalistic style in this book. Recommend!

I've been spending a lot of time reading the Puritans lately. It has been so refreshing to learn more about them and learn more from them. One of the things I learned is their tremendous heart for evangelism. For them, gospel-sharing was what they did every time they mounted the pulpit to deliver God's word. They knew what we've perhaps forgotten: the gospel is the power of God for salvation and preaching was the main vehicle to deliver it. Of course, now, we have so many delivery vehicles for sharing the redeeming love of Christ that we are richly blessed. This blog serves as one of those venues (and the links to Facebook and Twitter…).
When I browsed Richard Baxter's many works I came across one titled "Fifty Reasons Why a Sinner Ought to Turn to God." As expected, they are common sense, varied, rich, penetrating and useful. I hope to share one each time I blog on this topic believing that as I do I'd be reminded of the greatness of being a son of God and that maybe a reader would find the same.
Do not delay: turn to Christ.


How do I set the compensator system to go straight on the track?
You will need to set the compensator screw, so it coasts straight. Please refer to the Owners Manual for some great information. Then go to the track and place the chair on the 100m straight section and line it up with the lane. (Hint: while you're not in the chair). Push the chair forward and see which way it's pulling, set the compensator as you align the front wheel. It will take several passes to get it right and it will never be 100% right on.


The venues for the two parts of the event were both within a renovated wharf shed at Docklands.
The first part of the event took place in the Sumac space and saw all the shortlisted nominees (around 40 different groups) assembled to select the merit award winners who would later battle it out for the top spot in each category (viz. Government, Business, Media, and Education). The Education category had the most entries on the shortlist (18) and just five were selected for merit awards – ETA didn't make it to the next stage unfortunately. We were still very proud to have been nominated and shortlisted amongst such a great bunch of programmes in the tech diversity space around Education.
Moving on to the Gala Dinner in the massive Peninsula space, we had our own table consisting of (clockwise in the below photo) Kym Vassiliou (EPIC Assist), Lee, Kylie (Lee's wife), Bill Gamack (CEO of EPIC Assist), Paul Seaman, Maria (Paul's wife), Michele Playfair and Craig Thompson (EPIC Assist). The event was a packed house with about 400 people sitting down for the dinner.
The MC for the evening was Soozey Johnstone and she did a really good job of keeping things on track and injecting her own passion for diversity into proceedings. Apart from revealing the award winners, there were three keynote speakers sprinkled throughout the evening.
First up for an opening keynote was Philip Dalidakis (Minister for Trade & Investment, Innovation & the Digital Economy and Small Business in Victoria) and he announced the winner of the Minister's Prize in the shape of the Grad Girls Program 2018 (VICICT4.Women).
Next up was Georgina McEncroe, founder of the all-female shared ride service, Shebah. Her background as a comedian made this a very open and entertaining short speech!
The last keynote was a very personal one, from Alan Lachman who shared the story of his daughter losing her sight and this being the inspiration for setting up Insight. The three keynotes were all quite different but each made for a welcome break between award presentations and food courses.
It was great to see the "Champion" award going to the RISE programme at the Department of Health & Human Services, so even though ETA didn't get up, at least an autism-related initiative took the main gong.
This was a well-run event and the venue was impressive, with good service and fine catering for our vegan needs. It was inspiring to see all of the great work going on towards improving diversity in the tech sector, but a little surprising to see something of a lack of diversity amongst the nominations (e.g. there was a very heavy bias towards gender diversity). The breakdown of nominations by the four categories also needs to be reconsidered, as there were very large numbers of nominations in Business and Education (17 and 18 respectively) while only 3 in Media and 4 in Government.
It was a really enjoyable evening and I consider myself fortunate to be working with a bunch of genuinely nice people on this initiative. I'm looking forward to running the third course of ETA in 2019 and maybe, just maybe we'll have better luck at these awards next year if we're nominated again!

Die Laienbewegung der Claretiner (en.: Lay Claretian Movement; es.: Movimiento de Seglares Claretianos; Offizielle Abkürzung MSC) ist auch unter dem Namen "Laici Claretiani" bekannt. Sie ist eine missionarische Vereinigung von Gläubigen und in die Claretinische Familie intergiriert. Sie wurde 1983 gegründet, 1988 vom Heiligen Stuhl anerkannt und ist weltweit mit 135 Ortsgruppen in 23 Ländern vertreten.

Geschichte
Die Ordensgemeinschaft der Claretiner wurde 1849 von Antonius Maria Claret (1807–1870) gegründet. Zu den "Missionaren, der Söhne des Unbefleckten Herzens Mariens", wie die Claretiner vollständig heißen, gehörte eine apostolische Laienorganisation. Auf dem XIX. Generalkapitel, welches 1979 abgehalten wurde, beschloss man die Laienorganisation "Laici Claretiani" als selbständige Vereinigung von Gläubigen in die Claretinische Familie aufzunehmen. Am 20. April 1988 erteilte der Päpstliche Rat für die Laien das Anerkennungsdekret.

Selbstverständnis
Ihr Hauptaugenmerk legen die Mitglieder der MSC auf die Mission. Sie wollen das Evangelium verkünden und bemühen sich um eine Umgestaltung der Welt nach Gottes Plan. Ihr missionarisches Wirken wird vom Wort Gottes und der Eucharistie begleitet und ist durch die Barmherzigkeit der Mutter Gottes geprägt. Ihre missionarische Arbeit richtet sich an die Ausgeschlossenen und Ärmsten und wendet sich gegen die Ungerechtigkeit in der Welt. Die Mitglieder helfen beim Aufbau der Kirche vor Ort, in dem sie Katechese leiten, biblische und theologische Bildung leisten und in der pfarrlichen und diözesanen Pastoral mitarbeiten.

Organisation und Ausweitung
Auf der Basisebene bilden sich die Ortsgruppen, mehrere Ortsgruppen sind zu Regionen zusammengefasst. Die Regionen werden durch die Regionalversammlung und einem Regionalrat geleitet. Auf der internationalen Ebene ist das höchste Gremium die Generalversammlung, an ihr nehmen die Regionalräte und Delegierten der Ortsgruppen teil. Der von der Generalversammlung gewählte Generalrat besteht aus mehreren Mitgliedern und dem Kirchlichen Assistenten. Zur MSC gehören weltweit 135 Gruppen die sich auf Afrika, Asien, Europa, Nordamerika und Südamerika verteilen. Der Hauptsitz ist in Rom ansässig. Die deutschen Interessen werden durch die Claretiner in Spaichingen wahrgenommen.

KOLB: Remembering A Journalist Whose Voice Is Sorely Missed In Today's Politics
Photo by Amanda Edwards/Getty Images
Charles Kolb Deputy Assistant to George H.W. Bush
December 15, 2021 12:08 PM ET
The irreverent, iconoclastic, British-born, Oxford-educated journalist Christopher Hitchens died on December 15, 2011. If there is one journalist whose writings and voice I have missed since, it's Hitchens'.
We both attended the same Oxford college, Balliol, a few years apart. I first met Hitch in Washington, D.C., at a farewell party for a mutual friend, Sherard Cooper-Coles, then a high-ranking British Embassy diplomat.
I can recall talking with Hitch in a corner at the party about our mutual admiration for novelist Ian McEwan. I'd merely read everything McEwan had written; Hitchens was one of McEwan's closest friends, along with novelist Martin Amis and poet James Fenton. After that encounter, I made it my business to try to read everything Hitchens wrote.
I ran into him early one morning at New York's LaGuardia Airport as we both awaited the first shuttle to D.C. Hitch looked like he always did: tie askew, shirt collar unbuttoned, chest bared, rumpled like he'd been up all night. (He had.) That's when I first learned, surprisingly, that he endorsed George W. Bush's Iraq invasion.
As a Republican, I'd set aside my misgivings and subscribed to The Nation just to read Hitchens. His endorsement of Bush was too much for the far-left weekly. They let him go. I didn't renew my subscription.
Hitchens had a penchant for telling things as he saw and experienced them: in columns, in books, and on television. His views were always carefully honed, enhanced by his remarkably wide, encyclopedic reading in seemingly every subject, especially English literature. He once even endured water-boarding to ensure accurate war reporting.
George Orwell was a special Hitchens favorite, as was Martin Amis's father, Kingsley, who, like Hitch, had a special fondness for well-crafted English sentences and well-crafted alcohol.
Hitchens skewered cultural and political icons with abandon. He was bipartisan in his scorn and withering in his analysis. He subtitled his book on Mother Teresa "The Missionary Position," and he was well ahead of his time in identifying the Clintons as grifters, titling his book on Bill Clinton, "No One Left to Lie To." The paperback edition listed three women he contends Clinton raped.
And then there was former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Hitchens famously branded him a war criminal. A short study of Thomas Jefferson, however, elicited enthusiastic praise for the American founder.
Everybody knew how much Hitch enjoyed scotch, usually starting at midday. His favorite was the pricey Johnny Walker Blue, which he fondly called "Mr. Walker's amber restorative." Charles Dickens could not have written better.
At a luncheon in New York City where I'd persuaded him to speak, I noticed while sitting next to him that he wasn't touching his food. "Oh no, Charles. Can never lecture on a full stomach." But he did down two "Blue" restoratives on an empty stomach before giving a brilliant, hilarious overview of American domestic policy.
Hitchens took on religion and God in his well-researched and skeptical book, "god is Not Great." The devout were not amused, but his book was a lively send up, reminiscent of that famous line in Philip Larkin's poem "Aubade" deeming religion a "vast moth-eaten musical brocade/Created to pretend we never die." My only complaint about the book, delivered to Hitch via e-mail, was that he'd let the Mormons off too lightly.
No Pascal wager from Hitchens, though. And, like former Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer, set on fire at Mary I's stake (in front of Balliol, coincidentally), no backsliding when facing certain death.
The week his autobiography, "Hitch-22," became a best-seller, Hitchens was diagnosed with stage-four esophageal cancer, the same disease that killed his father. Writing in Vanity Fair, he solemnly informed us: there is no stage five.
While his enemies gleefully waited for Hitchens to "get religion" near the end of his life, Hitchens continued with articles describing his medical treatments while also skewering Pope Benedict XVI, whom he repeatedly referred to as Joseph Ratzinger.
Near the end, again in Vanity Fair, he listed two regrets: that he'd probably not live long enough to attend his daughter's high-school graduation and to write Joseph Ratzinger's obituary.
During his life, Hitch's personal identities evolved. He became an American citizen and discovered with considerable pride, years after her death, that his mother had been Jewish.
Not since H.L. Mencken has American journalism had such a voice. Today, consider raising a glass of amber restorative in his memory.

I'm Charlie Angulo and my love for Transportation Design brought me to Art Center College ofDesign where I could make my ideas into a reality.
Since my focus is exterior design, I try to enhance the passion and emotion that exists within each person. People do not know whether they like cars until they experience a good one, and with a culture that is getting less interested in the automobile industry, my challenge is to inspire people to experience what they haven't experienced, and that would be done through design.
My goal is to help innovate, inspire, and push towards the future of transportation through technology and design.

A Romulan delegation arrives to study reports on the Dominion, a privilege granted in exchange for the use of a cloaking device aboard the Defiant. Meanwhile, O'Brien, at Quark's riding out a mild case of radiation poisoning from an accident, is suddenly transported to another part of the bar, where he sees himself having a conversation with Quark. He just as suddenly returns to where he was, then falls over in pain. Bashir blames the radiation and assures O'Brien that hallucinations are a normal side effect. But when O'Brien returns to the bar five hours later, he has the same conversation with Quark that he 'hallucinated'. Dax theorizes that O'Brien's exposure to radiation could have caused him to temporarily shift five hours forward in time. Then, O'Brien experiences another timeshift -- into the middle of a brawl in Quark's between the Romulans and some Klingons.

The World's Rarest Ape Is On The Brink Of Extinction – Here's Why
One year after being discovered, the Tapanuli orangutan is already on the brink of extinction.
A rare Tapanuli orangutan.
The Tapanuli orangutan, discovered just last year in the forests of Sumatra in Indonesia is on the brink of extinction, and a new study claims that China is in part responsible.
A new study, published in the journal Current Biology claims that China-backed road construction and deforestation is threatening the already-fragile habitat of the Tapanuli orangutan – one of the rarest creatures on the planet.
"The Tapanuli orangutan is only the seventh species of Great Ape known to be alive today – and it's one of our closest relatives," explained William Laurance, Director of the Centre for Tropical Environmental and Sustainability Science and the research team leader on the study. "It was only described scientifically as a new species late last year. Losing it would be like watching the disappearance of the Humpback Whale or the Bald Eagle – iconic species that we all care about."
The research team leader explained to All That's Interesting the importance of conservation efforts on behalf of these animals and the dangers of encroaching on their habitat.
Laurance does not believe there are any Tapanuli orangutans in captivity, and there are fewer than 800 of these orangutans left in the wild today, in an area less than one-tenth the size of Sydney, Australia. That small area is now being threatened by the deforestation and road construction making its way through the Sumatran jungles.
"They disappear from areas with roads due to big increases in human pressures such as poaching, deforestation, illegal logging, and illegal mining," Laurance said. "There are very few areas left in Sumatra, or Indonesia for that matter, that don't have a lot of roads. Many roads are created illegally by loggers and miners."
Laurance and his team also believe that China is responsible for the low numbers of this species.
"I hate to make generalizations, but the Chinese are currently the most predatory developers on the planet," Laurance said. "I say that based on nearly 40 years of working in developing nations across the Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America, where Chinese developers are extremely active now."
The study – as well as a related article written by Laurance – points out the specific building plans that are putting the orangutans at risk, and attempts to impress upon the public the risks associated with them.
"In many ways, I think the Tapanuli Orangutan is a tragic icon of China's alarmingly aggressive development schemes," he said. "China's "Belt and Road Initiative" will construct massive roads, railroads, dams, ports, and other infrastructure projects across large expanses of Asia, Africa, Europe and the Pacific region. We've been warning for the last several years about this program and its incredible risks and costs for the environment. It also has very large social and economic risks."
So far, conservation efforts are few and far between. Laurance and his team hope that spreading the word about the Tapanuli orangutan can help give the cause a clearer image of what could happen if China's roadway efforts continue.
"The Tapanuli Orangutan puts a 'face' on the environmental costs we've been talking about," Laurance explained. "It's easier to see just what China's policies are going to mean, in real terms."

Q: Angular2 Table does not build properly after filtering I have got a problem with filtering a table in angular2.
Filtering works perfectly fine, but deleting the filter this does happen.
EDIT
When I start the program the filter is empty and the view is okay. When I filter for something everything is fine too. If I remove the filter again the elements are there but not in the table anymore... as you can see here.
The table does not rebuild as planned. The Lines are all over the place but not in the table anymore.
I have tried to simplify the html code. If you need to see more, please ask!

{{detail.itemName}}

{{detail.itemId}}

             <input value="" [(ngModel)]="searchValue" (ngModelChange)="filterDetails()"/>

{{detail.itemName}}

{{detail.itemId}}

             <input value="" [(ngModel)]="searchValue" (ngModelChange)="filterDetails()"/>

Here is the simplified Typescript Code (works more less like javascript - thats why I used that tag - hope that´s fine)
public filteredDetails: POSStockDetailWeb[];
public searchValue: string;

//the constructor an the init functions

filterDetails() {
  if (this.searchValue == null || this.searchValue == "")
    this.filteredDetails = this.POSStock.safePOSStockDetails;
  else {
    console.log(this.searchValue);
    this.filteredDetails = [];
    for (let detail of this.POSStock.safePOSStockDetails) {
      if ((detail.itemId.indexOf(this.searchValue) !== -1) ||
          (detail.itemName.indexOf(this.searchValue) !== -1)) {
        this.filteredDetails[this.filteredDetails.length] = detail;
      }
    }
  }

}

Thank you for your help!
If you need more input please ask!

A: I have tried it and it works When I change the filter it filters. The code I have tried is:
html:

{{detail.itemName}}

{{detail.itemId}}

               <input value="" [(ngModel)]="searchValue"
                   (ngModelChange)="filterDetails()"/>

Ts code:
    public filteredDetails: any[] = [];
    public safePOSStockDetails: any[] = [{itemName: 'a', itemId: '1'},
      {itemName: 'eea', itemId: '45'}, {itemName: 'eia', itemId: '12'}];
    public searchValue = '';

    filterDetails() {
     if ( this.searchValue === '')
        this.filteredDetails = this.safePOSStockDetails;
     else {
        this.filteredDetails = [];
        for (const detail of this.safePOSStockDetails) {
            if ((detail.itemId.indexOf(this.searchValue) !== -1) ||
            (detail.itemName.indexOf(this.searchValue) !== -1)) {
                this.filteredDetails.push(detail);
            }
        }
    }

A: Found the problem.
To solve another problem with my normal table being too large for smartphones, I have used the css visible-sx-inline and for the large table: visible-sm-inline visible-md-inline...
I dont´t realy know why, but they have caused the problem.
@kimy82
Thank you for your help!
I would be interested in the results of the simple version with the classes in it.
(if you still have it and the time for doing so)


On May 25th 2018 a new EU regulation could mean big fines for businesses of all sizes if they don't follow new personal data and privacy rules.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will replace the 1995 Data Protection Directive and will restrict the way that businesses collect, store and export personal data.
This includes data held on customers, potential customers, suppliers, employees and any other EU residents.
The Government has said that it will ban tier one contractors from bidding for work if they don't pay their suppliers promptly.
As part of a broader package of measures designed to protect smaller businesses, the Government announced plans to exclude suppliers from major Government procurements if they cannot demonstrate "fair and effective" payment practices with their subcontractors.


The Lifestyle Checkpoint Interactive Health & Wellbeing kiosk can allow employees or patients to monitor their own health and wellbeing at a time convenient to them, but at the same time upload the data to any electronic patient or occupational health records system. Therefore, this avoids the need to have a qualified nurse to supervise the kiosk and allows the user to take their tests, when convenient.
The benefits of this are that your medical centre or surgery can not only allow the qualified medical personnel to focus on the more intrusive or specialist tests but avoids patients or employees being frustrated by not being able to get a suitable appointment.
The kiosk is simple to use, with no supervision required, and measures Height, Weight, BMI, Total Body Fat, Visceral Fat, Muscle Mass, Bone Mass, Hydration Levels, Metabolic Rates, Upper Arm Blood Pressure, Body Temperature and Blood Oxygen Saturation Levels. All tests are completed within 3 – 4 minutes. Alongside the information being uploaded, the user receives their own personalised report that has normal/ideal ranges next to each measurement, so they can fully understand the results as well.
With smart card technology, Wifi enabled and capabilities to add additional lifestyle questionnaires, the kiosk is a major step forward in producing efficiencies in any medical centre or surgery.
Lifestyle Checkpoint provide trusted, independent and high-quality Health and Wellbeing Kiosks to leading industries across the UK – in construction, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, utilities and other key sectors as well as in many other world-class organisations.


"We have seen a few of those," says Jay Wessland, CTO of the Boston Celtics. He says a typical example he's seen involves someone pretending to be CEO or CFO who emails a high-level employee in the finance department to wire money or W2 tax forms. He says whaling attacks, a form of business email compromise also known as "CEO fraud," have increased over the past few months.
Whaling is becoming a big enough issue that it's landed on the radar of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which last week said that such scams have cost companies more than $US2.3 billion in losses over the past three years. The losses affect every US state and in at least 79 countries. The FBI said that it has seen a 270 per cent increase in identified victims and exposed losses from CEO scams since January 2015. For example, Mattel lost $US3 million in 2015 to one CEO fraud scam, while Snapchat and Seagate Technologies also fell prey to similar schemes.

In 1862 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a shy Oxford mathematician with a stammer, created a story about a little girl tumbling down a rabbit hole. Thus began the immortal adventures of Alice, perhaps the most popular heroine in English literature. Countless scholars have tried to define the charm of the Alice books–with those wonderfully eccentric characters the Queen of Hearts, Tweedledum, and Tweedledee, the Cheshire Cat, Mock Turtle, the Mad Hatter et al.–by proclaiming that they really comprise a satire on language, a political allegory, a parody of Victorian children's literature, even a reflection of contemporary ecclesiastical history. Perhaps, as Dodgson might have said, Alice is no more than a dream, a fairy tale about the trials and tribulations of growing up–or down, or all turned round–as seen through the expert eyes of a child.

"I've been impressed with my teacher's capabilities and her student- oriented approach. I have learned a lot not only from class conversation but also from her corrections during the classes. She is willing to correct my mistakes on the spot, helping me to not repeat the same mistakes anymore."
"My tutor understands well the difficulties of students who learn English as a second language. She gave me an achievable goal of learning English and gave me confidence. In tutoring, I had opportunities to correct my English pronunciation and to study English grammar. I certainly appreciate her teaching me."


When discussing the liberalization of our drug policy it is common to hear many concede that in regards to some drugs, cannabis in particular, the UK should move towards a more permissive policy. However, many people are more reluctant to advocate an equally permissive policy for drugs like crystal meth (methamphetamine). This reluctance is ill-founded, as when one examines the history of crystal meth it becomes evident that it is a creation of the drug war, as moonshine was a creation of alcohol prohibition during the prohibition years in the United States. Controlling it will simply lead to an even stronger drug being developed.
There can be no doubt that crystal meth is an extremely unpleasant drug. Crystal meth is highly addictive and one of the most dangerous of the illegal drugs to quit and has a high relapse rate. Users develop extensive neurological and physiological damage; one of the most debilitating and damaging of these effects is what is known as 'meth mouth' which results in the deterioration of the gum and teeth loss.
Despite its reputation and prevalence today, methamphetamine has been around since the nineteenth century in medicine and is still used in some medications today. But its use as a recreational drug is a relatively modern phenomenon. Why then, when there are less dangerous drugs with similar effects, is crystal meth even on the drugs market? The answer is that crystal meth is a creation of the drug war.
However, during the drug war this changed as it became cheaper and safer for those who traded in cocaine to switch to a cheaper product. And so was born the drug we know today as crystal meth.
This is a pattern in other prohibitions. The prohibition of a substance does not eliminate demand, it only changes the nature of the market. During the prohibition of alcohol in the United States moonshine became a substitute for previously legal alcohol. Although having the same desired effect of alcohol before prohibition moonshine contained higher levels of toxins and was regarded as more dangerous previously available alcohol. Like many government policies, the prohibition of illegal drugs is motivated by good intentions. However, the unintended consequences have been disastrous with more potent and dangerous drugs entering the market.
The government should move towards a policy that allows for the free trade of substances that are currently prohibited – however brutal those substances are to their users. Such a policy, which moves towards total legalisation, would be effective in reducing crime and breaking the monopoly criminals have on the drugs trade, and reduce the tendency toward ever-stronger substances. A more realistic policy decision would be to move towards a system of decriminalisation as currently used in Portugal. A more liberal policy would allow for a safer environment for those who use the drugs, remove many stigmas currently attached to drug use, and make it easier for addicts to seek treatment.

There's been so many times that I've wished I could quickly link to a specific headline in an article, but there's no id attributes on the tag...so I can't.
But then there's nothing I can do to fix it, because it actually requires the blog author to overhaul their site to add ids to all the heading tags which may not be a quick job.
So, my dear blog author, here's my work around until you do serve ids in your headings.
Then, if there's a hash fragment in the URL, the window will jump down to the named element. Thus "faking" permalink support.
The id attribute is only applied if there's no id on the heading element and is simply a regular expression that strips away anything that isn't an alphanumeric and converts it to lowercase.
So a heading that reads: "What does a Pro account get you?" is converted to whatdoesaproaccountgetyou. Pretty simple.
Inspired by Github's readme permalinks, when you hover near the left of the title then you'll see a ¶ character that is clickable and gives the reader the permalink.
Now I can share headline specific links to your site whilst all you needed to do was add one line. Thank you!


The Force, it's calling to you.
Last week, I dug into my old diaries and found what I wrote when I first saw Episode 1. I was surprised to read myself gushing over a movie that is today considered as bad as they get. I even loved Jar Jar Binks. But even then, I wrote that I loved it all because it was so bad. Literally. I'd been prepared to love it all and when it turned out to be silly, I told myself I loved it for the trash factor. Back then, I was okay with that.
Now, after seeing The Force Awakens twice, I'm only slowly understanding how much the prequels let me down, and how much Episode VII lives up to its very first sentence spoken: "This will begin to set things right".
Yes, the obvious plot parallels to IV and V bothered me after the first viewing. Not so much after the second. JJ Abrams felt sure Star Wars needed a reboot, and I think it worked fine. My only qualm remains Starkiller Base, but I can apply my Episode 1 practice here and like it because it's just so ridiculous.
What I love more and more is the characters. Those characters! I can't even decide which I love most.
JJ Abrams gave us a female protagonist whose gender isn't even an issue, as well as a black hero whose skin colour is never even mentioned. (It reminds me of the novels of David Weber, where skin colour and gender are totally secondary.) He gave us a daredevil pilot who is kind and likeable instead of selfish and badass. He gave us a villain that is so much your typical entitled manchild that teenagers hate him and adults love him for being such a complex figure.
How can you not love Poe? I'm hoping the rewrite of Episode VIII will enlarge his role.
Video of the painting process is here.
I didn't fall in love with Kylo Ren until really late in the day, but as you'll have noticed, fall in love I did. I can't wait to find out what turned him to the dark side, and whether anything might turn him back to the light. I'm also semi-guiltily digging through Youtube to locate anything with Adam Driver in it. I can't believe how versatile he is.
I never really liked Han in the original trilogy. "I happen to like nice men", and as opposed to Leia, Han never managed to convince me he was one. But in this film, he breaks my heart. He started out as a cocksure smuggler who hadn't even realised he'd lost his way; he found a terrific girl, found purpose, and ended up losing purpose, and the girl, and his way, as well as their son. The Force Awakens gives us what Han Solo "used to be" and tries to be again, but too many things have happened to be that person again. The Force Awakens is so psychologically astute and I connect with it on so many levels, and I keep discovering new ones.

So here's the first work-in-progress documentation on the blog. Doing progress descriptions is so much easier in this editor than pasting it all together in Photoshop. Join me for a gigantic multi media show – video to come later, too!
For this image, I used (surprise!) a limited palette of Sepia Brown, Indigo, and Madder Red. The only exceptions were some Burnt Sienna and Cadmium Orange for the skin, toned done with a mix of the other three.
First, I wet the paper with a sponge, laying down a faint indigo tone so the skin will remain pale later on.
Next, after everything is completely dry so the paint doesn't bleed into the figure, I lay down a generous background wash of my main three colours. I allow the paint to mix on the paper as opposed to putting down a smooth layer of one colour. Those little swirls you see are done using nail polish remover.
Next (again after waiting for the background wash to dry) I lay down my first skin layer, using Burnt Sienna tones down with my dirty water. I use much water on his right cheek, the side of his nose and other highlighted areas. My light source is upper left.
After the first wash has dried, I apply some Sienna with Madder Red for the areas where the skin is thinner – around the eyes, nose, mouth, and the ears. Then I let this dry too.
The problem with working from light to dark often is that such hues appear much stronger when hair, eyes, and clothes are still white. So I put down some more red than I usually would have, but I still had to add some after the hair and eyes were done.
You see me carefully applying a mix of Indigo and Madder (toned down with dirty water) whilst trying to keep the camera on the picture or on my brush, and finally dabbing off the paint again where I want no hard edges.
I might train my son to do the shooting for me next time… Having no hand free to keep the paper still wasn't the coolest of ideas.
This is what the finished shadow looks like.I also darkened the shadowy areas under the nose, the eye sockets, under the lower lip, in the ear, on the forehead (from the hair) and under his chin.
Then I proceeded to paint the hair. I started with a gradient wash, dark on the right and getting lighter on the upper left, to allow for my light source.The hair is mostly Sepia, but again with quite a lot of Madder and Indigo mixed in. I have all three of those in pretty much every area of the image.
For the next step, I waited for everything to be completely dry again. I love doing hair in a sort of cell-shading, and that means no wet-into-wet bleeding.
I did the eyes while waiting for the hair to dry; starting with a more purplish tone, I just left a lighter speck at the bottom of the eyeball.
After drying, I apply a second layer, darker this time, mostly in the upper portion of the eyeball – the lid casts a shadow.
Finally, a last, very dark layer in the pupil and along the upper rim again. A white speck will be done later in white pigment marker – after everything is dry.
You'll notice I've already drawn the next hair layer at this point.
This is what I meant by cell-shading – one of the few anime influences I allow myself. I just love to paint hair like that. I kept very few highlights on the right half of the image, and left loads in the left.
While working on the hair, I put down the first fur layer, allowing the paint to dry in places and painting over others while it's still wet, to allow a certain amount of blending. I use a very thin size 2 marten brush for a long fur effect.
When this layer is again completely dry, I'll add some darker shades, again with the same brush.


Natural disasters, loss of key suppliers and other emergencies can affect any business.
If these hit your business, would you be able to keep going?
Natural disasters, loss of key suppliers and other emergencies can affect any business, from the multi-national corporations to the small corner shop. But there are ways that these risks can be reduced. The role of Business Continuity Management (BCM) is to assist the continued operation of a business in the face of unexpected events and adversity – whether natural or man-made. In essence, business continuity is about planning and preparing for the worst.
Nottinghamshire Prepared website gives guidance on preparing a Business Continuity Plan and the risks that we all face in Nottinghamshire.
Flood, like fire, can wipe out stock, computer systems, papers and vehicles. Again it can result in long term repairs which can mean buildings are out of use for weeks and even months. Again there are measures that you can take to protect or reduce the risk to your business. The Environment Agency website can offer advice.
Computer fraud is becoming more and more prevalent. Having your computer system hacked can not only put your own business at risk, but leave you open to investigation under data protection if details of customers are stolen. Your reputation could also be damaged irreversibly. Check out Get Safe Online for details on how to ensure your systems are safe.
Does your business rely on a small number of suppliers? What if they went out of business overnight and tomorrow didn't exist. Having not only robust contracts, but also having backups and alterative plans, could prevent your business from being dragged down by another.

Real Estate|Buyers Scarce, Many Condos Are for Rent
Buyers Scarce, Many Condos Are for Rent
By VIKAS BAJAJ JAN. 16, 2007
Correction Appended
The Columbia, above, formerly the Columbia Hospital for Women, is a new complex of condos in the Foggy Bottom section of Washington. An owner who bought a two-bedroom unit in 2004 is facing having to sell it at a loss or rent it for less than his monthly payment. Credit Michael Temchine for The New York Times
WASHINGTON — David Franco's illuminated model of a proposed 10-story condominium tower dominates a sales center that, in spite of the "Now Selling" banner still fluttering outside, is conspicuously closed for business.
"We could have waited it out and kept pushing and pushing," Mr. Franco said about the decision to abandon plans to sell 180 luxury condominiums with floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the Washington Monument and Capitol Hill. "But it would have taken significantly longer."
After six weeks of failing to lure more than a couple of dozen buyers, Mr. Franco and his partner, Jeff Blum, joined the builders of nearly 6,000 condominium units in the Washington metropolitan area who have decided in the last three months to recast their projects as rental apartment buildings.
Since the middle of 2006, the frenzied condominium market here and in several other big cities like Las Vegas, Miami and Boston has collapsed. Once roaring sales have slowed to a trickle, sparse inventory has mushroomed into a glut and soaring prices have flattened out and started falling.
In many cities, banks have significantly scaled back loans to condominium builders. Some have demanded that developers sell half or more of the units in a building before even beginning construction.
In hopes of salvaging something from their costly plans, hundreds of developers like Mr. Franco are looking to the strong market for apartments, planning to rent their units for at least a couple of years while waiting for today's condo surplus to shrink. Mr. Franco and Mr. Blum hope to break ground on what will be a somewhat less expensive building this spring.
In some cases, developers are even turning older buildings back to rentals after a brief or aborted attempt at condo conversion. Meanwhile, another 2,500 proposed condominiums in the Washington area have been scrapped altogether, according to Delta Associates, a real estate research firm.
The latest salvage operation on the part of condo developers is far from a sure bet, however. Condominium buildings generally cost more to build and operate than those built for apartments from scratch. And while rents are high and rising in most cities, in many cases they still are not sufficient to turn a profit.
Industry analysts also point out that rents may start sagging if too many condos are converted into apartments too quickly. While rents were rising at a robust 6.1 percent annual pace in the Washington area late last year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, some buildings in the suburbs have recently started promoting move-in specials and other incentives to lure renters.
"You can do it, but it isn't as attractive," Tom Meagher, a Boston real estate consultant, said about converting condos into apartments. "You are not going to get enough rent to cover the cost. You might have to go back and redesign the floor plans."
In the Boston area, Mr. Meagher is tracking 600 condo projects representing about 49,000 units in various stages, from applying for permits to active construction. While the recent slowdown is forcing developers to consider converting their projects to apartments and offices, he expects as many as a third of them will never be built at all.
Mr. Franco said that he and Mr. Blum were able to cut 10 percent from the costs of their planned building, on land in the trendy U Street corridor. That should be enough to make a profit, he said. Beyond switching to some less expensive materials, they also decided to subdivide some larger units into smaller apartments.
The partners are now going through a similar financial exercise on another proposed building across the street, which was to house 225 condominiums but now could be recast as a rental building as well.
Lenders started tightening the purse strings for the condominium market in early 2006 as sales weakened first in cities like Miami and Las Vegas.
"Did the lenders pull back soon enough?" asked Robert Brennan, managing director of real estate finance at Credit Suisse in New York. "I don't think we know yet."
Real estate experts say condos are more susceptible to booms and busts than single-family homes are because they attract more investors who do not intend to live in them and are easier to build than a new subdivision in many cities.
And while there are tentative signs that the worst of the overall housing slump may be easing as builders cut back and interest rates remain relatively modest, condo markets continue to suffer.
Take the owner trying to sell a spacious two-bedroom condo for $879,000 in the former Columbia Hospital for Women, which closed in 2002, in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington. In 2004, the investor was so confident that he would make a handsome resale profit that he told his agent, Thomas P. Murphy, he wanted to buy five condos. Mr. Murphy said he flatly told his client he would only assist him in purchasing one unit in any one building.
"He needs $890,000 to break even, but the offers are at $800,000 to $840,000," Mr. Murphy said. "He does remember that I told him he was not getting five of them."
Could he rent the condo? Yes, but that option is not appealing, either. Mr. Murphy estimates that the unit could rent for $4,000 a month, far short of the $6,800 a month the condo costs in mortgage interest, maintenance fees, insurance and taxes.
"They have a choice of how they want to lose it," Mr. Murphy said of investors and condo developers. "Drip by drip or in one slap."
Mr. Murphy said he believed condo sales had picked up somewhat lately and he even ran a four-way bidding contest on one well-priced condo in Foggy Bottom, near the State Department. But the supply of newly built condos is so large and so many of them are similar to each other that many sellers are having to sharply cut their asking price. Others have simply given up.
At the end of 2006, 24,200 units were on the market in the Washington area, up from 13,000 at the start of 2005. Sales have slowed to 663 in the fourth quarter of 2006 from 3,520 in the first quarter of 2005, according to Delta Associates. Recorded prices have been flat, which probably masks an effective decline since only the most attractive properties are selling and many owners throw in extra inducements that do not show up in official figures.
One of the few exceptions to the trend is in Manhattan, particularly at the high end. Condo and co-op sales increased to 2,441 in the fourth quarter, from 1,574 a year ago, and inventory was relatively flat at 5,900, said Jonathan J. Miller, an appraiser. Much of the increase can be attributed to a legal change in how sales of co-ops are recorded, but Mr. Miller said a 5.5 percent drop in prices from the third quarter also helped.
Nationally, condominium sales have fallen further than those of single-family properties, 13.6 percent from November 2005 to the same month in 2006; free-standing homes showed a 10.7 percent decline in the same period. Inventories have risen 38.1 percent for condos and 29.6 percent for individual homes, according to the National Association of Realtors. The national median price — half the condos sold for more and half for less — was $224,600 in November, unchanged from November 2005.
But there is no comprehensive, national source of data for new condominiums sales. The Realtors group only measures sales of existing units and the Commerce Department, which tracks sales of new single-family homes, does not collect data on condominiums.
In the recent housing boom, many cities welcomed condos, hoping the young, upper-income set they attract would help revitalize older neighborhoods. In some cities, condominium construction also gave municipal officials an opportunity to demand that developers set aside some units for affordable housing in exchange for zoning and building approvals.
In Washington, the area around 14th and U Streets was one of several formerly run-down neighborhoods to get a facelift largely from new condo projects. The area was once a hub of African-American civic and cultural life, but the neighborhood was ravaged by riots in 1968 after Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination and fell into decades of neglect and disrepair.
The area has now become home to trendy cafes, a Whole Foods grocery and other stores. But signs of its hardscrabble past linger on in dilapidated apartment buildings and storefronts. The influx of transplants from nearby Dupont Circle and Adams Morgan has also raised the usual strains that accompany gentrification — rising rents, increased traffic and the displacement of local residents.
Mr. Franco, who lives in the neighborhood, said he was sensitive to those concerns. His company, Level 2 Development, contributed $1 million to help a group of tenants in low-income apartments buy their building as part of a deal with the local government for the approval of his condo project.
He had hoped to take up residence in a 3,200-square-foot corner unit with an expansive terrace, which will now be cut up into smaller rental apartments.
But as he drove around the neighborhood recently pointing out rows of redeveloped buildings, he acknowledged that the market might have reached its limit for now. As an example, he pointed to a used car lot that seemed to be a vestige of a bygone era.
"The reality is not everything can make way for condos," Mr. Franco said. "This guy may be doing so much business that it has far more value than what a real estate sale can fetch."
Correction: January 19, 2007
A chart on Tuesday with the continuation of a front-page article about the slowdown in the condominium market mislabeled the top line of the scale showing the number of condos for sale. It is 25,000, not 30,000. A corrected graphic can be found online.

Jean-Marie Lehn, född 30 september 1939 i Rosheim, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, är en fransk kemist. Lehn tilldelades, tillsammans med Donald J Cram och Charles J Pedersen, Nobelpriset i kemi 1987 med motiveringen
"för deras utveckling och användning av molekyler med strukturspecifik växelverkan av hög selektivitet".
Pedersen fick halva prissumman och Cram och Lehn delade på den andra halvan.

Cram, Lehn och Pedersen lyckades framställa molekyler med specifik och selektiv funktion. De interagerade med andra molekyler som de, genom sin struktur och form, passade ihop med. Molekylerna härmade existerande enzymer och kunde därmed användas för att studera sådana ämnens funktion. De tillverkade molekylerna har sedan fått namnet gästvärdföreningar.

Oops! No one caught the mistake I made yesterday, identifying a ♀as ♂. She had a cream breast with indistinct borders, indicative of a ♀. Note the distinct change from grey to cream under this bird's chin -> ♂.

Users may select any combination of activities from the activity hierarchy to create time use variables. For more information about specific activity categories, click on category names in the activity hierarchy. For more information about this variable, including comparability, see MAIN.
The time of day filter restricts the time use variable to a particular range of time during the day. When a time of day filter is applied, only time spent in the activities (given other filter selections) during the specified time range is returned.
Secondary activities occur at the same time as primary activities. Secondary activities are NOT consistently collected (see SEC). By applying secondary activity filters, only time spent during the primary activities in which one or more selected secondary activities also occurred will be aggregated to create a time use variable.
The location filter (ELOC and MTRAV) allows users to restrict the time use variable currently being created to a particular set of places or modes of transportation. When a location filter is applied, only times spent in the selected locations (given other filter selections) are added together.
The who filter allows users to restrict the time use variable currently being created to those that occurred alone or with specified others. Users may also filter activities based on the presence of other people; distinctions can be made between whether ALL of the people must be present or ANY of the selected persons must be present. Users who specify "ALL" must note that only two present selections may be made because most surveys only allow the respondent to report two people who were with them during the activity.
