The term multiple endocrine neoplasia 1 (MEN1) refers to a familial tumor syndrome characterized by the combination of tumors of the parathyroid glands, pancreatic islet cells, and anterior pituitary gland.
Patients may also develop adrenal cortical tumors, carcinoid tumors, facial angiofibromas, collagenomas, and lipomas.
Parathyroid tumors are the first manifestation of MEN1 in more than 85% of patients. In less than 15% of patients, the first manifestation may be an insulinoma or prolactinoma.
The frequency of MEN1 is estimated to be 1 case in 30,000 persons with a female to male ratio of 1:1.
The age of onset of endocrine tumors is usually in the teenaged years; however, the diagnosis is frequently delayed until the fourth decade of life.
The gene for MEN1 has been localized to chromosome band 11q13 and codes for a 610-amino acid protein, referred to as menin.
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) has been found in the region associated with MEN1, suggesting that the gene has tumor suppression function consistent with Knudson's two hit hypothesis. More than 90% of tumors from MEN1 patients have LOH.
5-10% of patients with MEN1 may not harbor mutations in the coding region of the MEN1 gene; these individuals may have whole gene deletions or mutations in the promoter or untranslated regions.
More than 10% of the MEN1 mutations arise de novo.
MEN4 syndrome: Germline mutations in CDKN1B/p27 gene, encoding the p27kip protein, have been reported in (a) a small family presented with characteristics of MEN1: somatotropinoma, parathyroid tumors, and renal angiomyolipoma, (b) in a Dutch patient diagnosed with three lesions compatible with a diagnosis of MEN1: small-cell neuroendocrine cervical carcinoma, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-secreting pituitary adenoma and hyperparathyroidism.
It presents as a single parathyroid adenoma, mostly in the sixth decade of life.
Symptoms are due to hypercalcemia, in contrast to individuals with MEN1 syndrome, who are often asymptomatic and identified during evaluation for manifestations of MEN1 syndrome.
CASR, the gene encoding the calcium-sensing receptor, responsible for familial benign hypercalcemia (FBH), also called familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH or FBHH) and neonatal severe primary hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT).
MEN2 syndrome, caused by mutations in RET characterized by medullary thyroid carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, and PHPT.
Germline mutations in the AIP gene, encoding aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein, have been identified in 15% to 20% of FIPA cases.
The causative gene or genes in the majority (70%-80%) of FIPA families is currently unknown.


HomeQuack TreatmentshomeopathyIs Statutory Self-Regulation the Answer for Homeopathy?
Put not your trust in princes, especially not princes who talk to plants.
All this might just be funny but harmless. Does it matter if people waste £130m a year on potions? It matters that the NHS spends £50m on alternative treatments, a figure expected to rise soon to £200m. It matters that Newsnight found homeopaths advising patients visiting malaria areas not to take anti-malarial drugs. And that patients are told not to give their children the MMR jab. The alternative lobby replies that conventional medicine can also do more harm than good.
The proposed regulation is actually about control of the practitioners rather than the therapy and its primary aim is rightly protection of the public.
Whilst The Society welcomes the creation of a Natural Healthcare Council, it is greatly concerned at its proposed inclusion of homeopathy, notably without consultation since, as a profession, in 2006, homeopathy unanimously concluded that this voluntary register was not appropriate for its needs and the public who use it.
This is because homeopathy was already far more advanced in self-regulation than the other therapies involved; it has (as identified by The House of Lords Select Committee on Science & Technology) a self-contained system for diagnosis and treatment of individual rather than being complementary; its training is far longer and educational outcomes much higher.
Through The Society of Homeopaths, homeopathy already has a far more rigorous regulatory process in place than anything proposed to date by the Foundation. And what's more, our members want much more than voluntary regulation: they want statutory regulation. Hardly the behaviour of charlatans.
So, no need to include the homeopaths because we are tons better than the other flaky lot.
This is quite an interesting statement. The Society makes it clear that it does not consider itself to be a complementary therapy. Homeopathy is strictly alternative, or in their words a 'complete system of medicine'. Homeopaths define themselves in opposition to real medicine. They derogatorily call doctors 'allopaths' and accuse them of being in the pay of pharmaceutical companies, and that all they are interested in is 'alleviating symptoms, keeping people sick and using very dangerous drugs on patients that kill them'.
It is for this very reason that homeopaths should never be allowed to self-regulate. The reason is not that I believe homeopaths to be 'charlatans', but rather the far more scary prospect that they actually believe what they say.
Of all the professions in our Group 1, homeopathy carries the fewest inherent risks in its practice, at least in relation to the consumption of homeopathic medicines. We are also aware that there is unusually strong contention about the evidence available for its efficacy. These two points could be seen as arguments against statutory regulation which could be considered unnecessary due to the limited risks and could also be seen as awarding a degree of legitimacy to a therapy about which much of the conventional scientific world has strong doubts and reservations.
While the practice of homeopathy may itself be free from risk, it does create an opportunity for diverting conventional diagnosis and treatment away from patients with conditions where conventional treatment is well-established, as some patients seem to see it as offering a complete alternative to conventional medicine. Such attitudes mean that homeopaths are in a position of great responsibility. It is imperative that there is a way of ensuring that this position is handled professionally, that all homeopaths are registered, that they know the limits of their competence, and that there are disciplinary procedures with real teeth in place.
The Lords wonder if protection of title would help in this role. As a result of the review, the homeopaths were sent packing to get their house in order. They have failed spectacularly. The Lords are quite clear in their report that a non-statutory self-regulated profession needs a single register and accountable practices. The homeopaths are showing no signs of being able to cope with either. Despite being in a 'position of great responsibility', the danger to the public from their strictly alternative beliefs still remains.
The Lords urge the Society of Homeopaths to consider statutory regulation. From the above press release, it looks as if that is what they are now doing. They do not want anything to do with the Natural Healthcare Council as that would just be humiliating. But there are a number of stumbling blocks. The Society do not speak for all homeopaths, there is no single register and so no defined path to achieving this goal. It is not yet clear what SoH want to do. Maybe they just want to wait and see other Homeopath groups, like the Alliance of Registered Homeopaths, fail or merge. Maybe they wait in the hope that someone will just ask them to step into the role of sole Regulator.
However, I believe allowing any homeopathic group to become a sole regulator, statutory or not, would be a huge mistake as it would not meet the simple requirements that a regulator should meet. First and foremost is the protection of the public. As the House of Lords recognised, homeopaths carry great responsibility as many people see them s being primary and sole healthcare providers. The big problem is, and this is missed by the Lords, is that homeopaths see themselves in this role too.
What self-regulation for homeopaths would fail to do would be to allow any objective and evidence-based criteria to be used to judge homeopathy's effectiveness. This blog and others have been hugely critical of homeopaths for their dangerous advice to their customers about malaria treatment, AIDS treatments and the vaccination of children. Homeopaths actively disparage real medicine and its practitioners, they wean their customers of their GP prescribed medications without medical supervision and spread unfounded fear about MMR and other vaccinations.
The Society of Homeopaths say in their press release that they have a "rigorous regulatory process in place". Many would now strongly dispute that. It is a regulatory process that lacks transparency, that fails to act against the dangerous practices of its members, is willing to publicly misrepresent its actions, and is openly flouted by the Societies directors, fellows and members. To allow this ethos of regulation to become statutorily endorsed would be a grave mistake.
To offer statutory regulation to homeopaths would be to give official endorsement to their delusional beliefs that they offer a genuine alternative to conventional, evidence-based medicine. That cannot be in the best interests of the public. Voluntary self-regulation for homeopaths has been tried and has failed. To now offer statutory self-regulation to homeopaths would just offer state-approval to that failure without addressing the reasons for failure.
What is going to happen next is anyone's guess. The Princes Foundation for Integrated Health must now surely be aware of the massive problems here. The whole programme of FiH is in jeopardy because its whole ethos is about finding common ground between conventional medicine and the complementary non-medically qualified health workers (quacks). The largest group, the non-medically qualified homeopaths, have made it quite clear that they will not be taking part and that they are deeply hostile to the integrative programme.
To think they ever would be was just plain naivety.

Your government has to grow some balls, they've tried being polite and it hasn't worked.
It's time for Homeos to be openly accountable, of course they're resisting the exposure of their in-house discipline as ineffective.
Our government needs to do more than grow some balls, it needs to get it's sorry head out of its flabby arse and start acting like a real government. Mind you, its no secret that the current establishment consists of a bunch of lying, corrupt, ignorant and cowardly gobshites. I think we were all made brutally aware of that over the MMR scare and the bloody Iraq war.
Worth remembering they said that next time they claim that homoeopathy is complementary and they'd never dream of discouraging their clients from getting proper medical treatment.


Much work in the ethics of war is structured around the distinction between jus ad bellum and jus in bello. This distinction has two key roles. It distinguishes two evaluative objects—the war 'as a whole', and the conduct of combatants during the war—and identifies different moral principles as relevant to each. I argue that we should be sceptical of this framework. I suggest that a single set of principles determines the justness of actions that cause nonconsensual harm. If so, there are no distinctive ad bellum or in bello principles. I also reject the view that whilst the justness of, for example, ad bellum proportionality rests on all the goods and harms produced by the war, the justness of combatants' conduct in war is determined by a comparatively limited set of goods and harms in a way that supports the ad bellum–in bello distinction.

Covid-19 Greg Abbott
TX Now Has the 6th Highest COVID Cases & Under-Reporting 8,800
June 10, 2020 June 17, 2020 Michelle H. Davis
Our COVID cases are skyrocketing.
A month ago, I wrote an article which pointed out how fast Texas' COVID cases were growing. The article showed that in a matter of 13 days Texas went from the 12th highest cases to the 9th, and would soon have the 8th highest cases. While I knew that that we were soon going to pass Pennsylvania's case count, I wasn't expecting the state to report a one day increase of 2,504.
This time there was no announcement from the state blaming it on a cluster of tests at a meat packing plant. In fact, as of 9:00 pm, there has been no statement at all. Not from DSHS, not from Greg Abbott, radio silence.
A rapidly increasing pace.
The numbers here are from 5/11/20.
In the last month, our numbers have doubled. On top of that, our our hospitalizations have been reaching peak numbers every day for the last 3 days. (I'll get to that)
Today is exactly 23 days since Abbott's phase two, 16 days after Memorial Day, and 7 day's since Abbott's phase three.
If you already didn't know that Greg Abbott only looks out for himself, this is the outcome of his eagerness to please his campaign donors. Now Texas is plunging into the abyss.
Here are the numbers today.
We went from 40,251 to 81,434 in a month.
But look at Pennsylvania. Although, Texas went up by 40,000 in a month, Pennsylvania only increased their case count by 20,000.
Pennsylvania was on lock down longer than us, plus their restrictions were much tighter.
And they have a cool map that shows each county color coded in a three-phase matrix.
What is the state reporting today?
Is reason for this discrepancy, (1,677), because DSHS has a one day delay from the counties' reports? Likely.
So, how did I get to 8,800?
From the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, which now has a total of 7,200 positive cases. You can see this on their new dashboard, here.
Last month we learned the state was under-reporting by 2,800. We also learned that DSHS was telling counties it was up to them whether or not they wanted to include the cases at the prison as part of their overall case count. Which led to more than half of the counties not reporting the cases, so the state didn't report them either.
The whole thing is stupid, beyond belief.
Soon after that last article was published, the state told the counties that were reporting in their overall case count, they could still report them, but they couldn't identify them separately.
In turn, it appears that counties have stopped reporting them all together, (the few that were), and are now relying on TDCJ to report them. This is evident, especially in more rural counties where the positive cases the TDCJ is reporting is higher than what the county is reporting.
The problem is, DSHS is still not including these in their overall positive COVID cases. That's 7,200 DSHS is still not counting.
Some of these inmates are sent to hospitals that are also taking regular citizens, some are released, some are moved to other prisons, and all of them have contact with prison employees.
Greg Abbott Keeps Lying and DSHS Has Been Helping Him
We all know he got caught trying to inflate the testing numbers. When confronted about it, initially he lied, then when confronted again, he said they were going to be reported separately soon.
Texas' DSHS did start reporting the antibodies tests in their total test count and separately.
But here is the true hilarity of it; Although, the DSHS in now using the antibodies test so they can give Abbott a bullshit number for his idiotic positivity rate… they weren't including any antibody tests in our overall case count.
Here is disclaimer on the dashboard saying they started discluding them on May 19th.
Who trusts them now?
Greg Abbott, like Donald Trump, has lied to us, and lied to us, and lied again.
None of us would be shocked if Abbott came out tomorrow or later this week and talk about how great he was doing and how he's working diligently to protect Texans from coronavirus. Then he, Dan Patrick, disgraced speaker of the house Dennis Bonnen, and anti-woman crusader John Hellerstedt will all give each other high-fives and slither to the back room for a cigar.
Or maybe he'll just keep quiet hoping our attention will stay focused on the current uprising. But, Democrats know how to walk and chew gum at the same time.
From the Texas Tribune:
COVID Cases Hospitalizations.
This is today, reported from the Texas DSHS.
They are also reporting that there are 13K hospital beds, 1,500 ICU beds, and 5,900 ventilators.
But as much as they've already lied, who knows if any of these numbers are real.
While you're out there this week.
If you are attending a march, going to work, or on quarantine; start having the conversation with people you meet or know.
Are they registered to vote? Elections decide every thing in your life, your representation writes or votes for police reform, determines whether or not you get healthcare, and if your child is taught Creationism in school.
It's not enough for us to simply just vote ourselves, the Republicans from our legislator to the White House have been screwing up royally for a long time. It is time to get them out.
In the last election, over 11 million Texans who were eligible to vote, did not vote. If they become voters, Democrats will take Texas. If Texas wins, America wins.
We all know a person or two that doesn't vote. Now is the time to talk to them about the importance of it. If every Democrat could convince one non-voter how important voting was, we would win by a landslide.
Make sure you're registered to vote!
Are you registered to vote? Not sure, find out HERE!

Page 1 Once there was a beautiful and adventurous girl named Samantha. She was the youngest of three daughter to the king David, king of Giana. In the place there was a special secret cave that can lead you to a secret garden. To enter the garden you had to be the age of fifteen. Samantha's fifteenth birthday was coming up in a few months. Her sister always teased Samantha that the garden was so beautiful and lush. Samantha and her friends Charlie the dog and Cassandra the cat were getting more and more determined each day to see what the garden looks like. Every time Samantha and her friends tried to get the key they always got caught by the king. There was only one other person who had the key, the old and grumpy witch Patzilla. She lived in the deepest and darkest parts of the kingdom Giana. ...read more.

Samantha started her journey after a sit down and small bit to eat. She came across many cute and cuddly animals on the way. Samantha met some new friends called Brittney the bunny, Theodore the chipmunk and daisy the deer. Her new friends helped Samantha find a nice place to sleep, so she would be nice and fresh for a big day looking for that precious jewel. As the sun began to rise the next morning, Samantha woke up to a surprising fright. She had forgotten that she was at the secret garden. Her animal friends had already made Samantha breakfast when she woke up. They had made her some eggs and special fruits. Samantha ate her breakfast very fast, because she was very hungry. ...read more.

When Samantha came to Patzilla said with a loud voice "YOUR LATE SAMANTHA". " I know" replied Samantha nervously. Patzilla's punishment for Samantha was that she would become Patzilla's servant. When Samantha's sister's found out about this they told their father what Samantha had done. King David went to visit Patzilla and agreed to hand over the kingdom to her if he could have Samantha back. As the king knew that she would die from old age. Patzilla accepted the king's offer and moved into the castle. Samantha and her family moved to a small farm cottage for the meanwhile.

Third Win For Podravina (NZ)
The impressive recent form of the Pencarrow Racing team continued at Matamata on Wednesday as talented mare Podravina (NZ) (Bel Esprit) took out the $11,000 Baker Racing 1600.
Trained by race sponsors Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman, the four-year-old settled in midfield for rider Opie Bosson. She was travelling beautifully approaching the home turn, and she sprinted through a gap one off the rail to score by half a length.
Podravina has now had 12 starts for three wins, four placings and $43,785 in prizemoney.
Bred by Pencarrow Thoroughbreds Ltd and raced by Sir Peter Vela, Podravina is the first foal to race out of Posavina (NZ) (Tiger Hill), who carried the Pencarrow blue and white hoops to victory in the Group 3 Lowland Stakes (2100m).
Posavina is a half-sister to another former Pencarrow star, Rasa Lila (NZ) (Darci Brahma), who won seven races including the Group 2 Travis Stakes (2000m) and Group 3 Cuddle Stakes (1600m). She also placed in the Group 1 Easter Handicap (1600m) and Windsor Park Plate (1600m).

Multiple myeloma researcher Rafael Fonseca, M.D., has received a joint appointment with Mayo Clinic and TGen to lead a collaborative research project investigating biology, genetics and targeted treatment of multiple myeloma. This program is part of a research collaboration agreement signed by Mayo Clinic and TGen in Sept. 2003 to broaden areas of joint research endeavors.
The focus of Dr. Fonseca's research is the evaluation of MGUS (monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance), multiple myeloma and Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. Multiple myeloma and Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia involve devastating tumors of the bone marrow and lymphatic system that are diagnosed in nearly 16,000 Americans every year. MGUS is a very common condition that is found in approximately one to three percent of the population over the age of 50, and is the precursor to multiple myeloma.
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells, which are found in bone marrow, the blood producing tissue that fills in spaces within bone. Plasma cells produce antibodies (substances that help the bone fight infection). Typically plasma cells make up one to two percent of all cells in the bone marrow, but in a person with multiple myeloma, abnormal plasma cells (or myeloma cells) multiply in a cancerous manner. The growth of myeloma cells results in reduced production of blood, which produces anemia. Patients may also have associated destruction of bones.
Dr. Fonseca's research efforts have been fundamental to the understanding of the biology of myeloma and have established the role for the clinical implications of genetic aberrations of myeloma. Along with other researchers, he has shown that myeloma is composed of several subcategories defined at the genetic level. His laboratory is committed to translating this knowledge to a platform for targeted therapy for the disease.
"My colleagues and I are in the initial stages of a systematic evaluation of MGUS, myeloma and macroglobulinemia by molecular and cytogenetic methods," says Dr. Fonseca. "Ultimately our lab aims to understand the nature of the tumor cells, the significance of these abnormalities and how to best use this knowledge to generate targeted therapy."
Macroglobulinemia is a special type of lymphoma that produces a large amount of protein of the IgM type (antibody) and thus has some similarities multiple myeloma.
"The multiple myeloma research program Dr. Fonseca leads is a critical component of our collaboration with TGen," said Laurence J. Miller, M.D., chair, Mayo Clinic Cancer Center - Scottsdale. "Pursuing joint research strategies and building strong partnerships with researchers at TGen helps to advance Mayo Clinic's mission of integrating research and educational efforts with clinical medicine to provide optimal health care for our patients and for patients everywhere."
TGen President and Scientific Director, Dr. Jeffrey Trent, adds, "Dr. Fonseca's joint appointment is a tremendous addition to the TGen faculty, and proves our vision of collaboration can be successful. His research in multiple myeloma is gaining international recognition, and he has the rare combination of excellence in basic science, excellence in clinical management of patients with this difficult set of disorders, and he is remarkably collaborative in his research vision. I believe Dr. Fonseca is absolutely the perfect choice to lead the partnership to a successful outcome."
Dr. Fonseca was formerly a consultant in the Department of Hematology and Internal Medicine at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., where he conducted multiple myeloma research since 1996. In January 2004, he joined Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale to serve as the site director for Hematology Malignancies and vice chair for Research for Hematology and Oncology. He also serves as the chair of the myeloma laboratory committee in the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group and is a scientific advisor to the International Myeloma Foundation, and holds leadership roles in other national myeloma organizations. He holds several NIH research grants and is a clinical investigator of the Damon-Runyon Cancer Research Fund.
Mayo Clinic has one of the premier myeloma treatment groups in the world, with more than 60 years' experience treating multiple myeloma using a multidisciplinary approach that includes medications, experimental therapies and diet and lifestyle management. Mayo has been a leader in the recognition of new treatments, prognostic factors and a basic understanding of the biology of the disease.
The mission of TGen is to make and translate genomic discoveries into advances in human health. Translational genomics research is a relatively new field employing innovative advances arising from the Human Genome Project to apply to the development of diagnostics, prognostics and therapies for cancer, neurologic disorders, diabetes and other complex diseases.


Repost – Abstract Photography – Ep. 3 – Dutch goes the Photo!
This is the third and last in a series of reposts on the techniques and processes that I use in creating abstract photographic images; these posts were originally published in February, 2016. Hope you enjoy them!
Over the pass couple of days I have covered concepts and techniques, and I promised to do a bit of a deeper dive into what lies beneath the surface of the process of capturing these images.
In terms of photographic technique, the ideas are rather simple and mastered relatively quickly. Most of my personal photography projects tend not to last very long, as quickly I start looking for novel ways to capture and present material; at such a time, I usually put the project aside for at least a year or so, waiting for it to feel fresh again when I go for the next image in a series. This project has been different, in that I have been shooting in this genre for more than 4 years thus far, and it has not felt stale to me yet. As this surprised me somewhat, I started looking into the how and why this project is different.
This wraps up this 3-part series on abstract photography, but, fear not! From time to time, I will feature an image from my Kryptomorphaics collection to discuss it in more detail.
I sincerely hope you enjoyed this introduction and look forward to hearing what other topics might interest you.
Thanks! I wish my garden was in bloom right now instead of covered in snow!
Soon, all too soon, the snow will arrive here, and provide many opportunities for wonderful photography!
I did a post on what you taught me with these tutorials and wanted to thank you. It was so much fun!
Wonderful results! Glad you had fun with this process!
Thank you! I will be using this technique a lot more in the future!

Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) is a form of dementia associated with the presence of Lewy Bodies in the brain along with a characteristic set of symptoms and disease progression. As is the case for any form of dementia, DLB is a progressive illness affecting an individual's ability to live and function independently. Lewy Bodies are not exclusively found in the brains of individuals with DLB but have also been found in individuals with Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. The extent and location of Lewy bodies tends to differ among these illnesses. The diagnosis cannot be confirmed definitively without a post-mortem autopsy but it can be made clinically based on an individual's symptoms.
Central Feature: Presence of progressive cognitive decline that interferes with normal functioning
Core Features: Fluctuating cognition (variations in attention and alertness); visual hallucinations; and/or Parkinsonism
Suggestive Features: REM sleep behavior disorder; neuroleptic sensitivity; and/or low dopamine uptake in the basal ganglia on SPECT or PET imaging
Supportive Features (although these symptoms may be present in DLB, it is unclear if they provide any diagnostic specificity): Repeated falls and syncope; transient, unexplained loss of consciousness; severe autonomic dysfunction (such as orthostatic hypotension or urinary incontinence); hallucinations in modalities other than visual; delusions; depression; relative preservation of medial temporal lobe structures on CT/MRI scan; generalized low uptake on SPECT/PET perfusion scan with reduced occipital activity; abnormal (low uptake) MIBG myocardial scintigraphy; and/or prominent slow wave activity on EEG with temporal lobe transient sharp waves
Progression: A diagnosis of DLB is suggested when symptoms of dementia occur before or at the same time as symptoms of Parkinsonism. If motor symptoms are present prior to the onset of dementia a different diagnosis, such as Parkinson's disease dementia, is suggested.
Cognition in DLB1,3
DLB has been found to be associated primarily with impairments in attention, executive functioning, and visuospatial skills. Impairments in memory may not be present initially but may develop as the disease progresses.
Treatment1,2
There is no cure for DLB. As with any dementia diagnosis, treatment primarily entails management of symptoms and increased oversight by others to ensure safety. Medications commonly used to treat various symptoms that are seen in DLB may have little or even adverse effects in patients with DLB, such as a worsening of some symptoms. For example, some medications commonly used to treat the motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease can worsen cognitive functioning or worsen hallucinations. Also, some antipsychotic medications used to treat hallucinations or behavior symptoms may worsen these symptoms in DLB.

Q: How to hide checkbox for specific records or only to parent rows in lightning treegrid I would like to hide the checkbox only for parent rows . I am not sure how to achieve it. I went through the lightning library but I couldn't find any information related to it.
<lightning:treeGrid aura:id="Tree"
                            columns="{!v.gridColumns}"
                            data="{!v.gridData}"
                            expandedRows="{!v.gridExpandedRows}"
                            hideCheckboxColumn = "true" />

Is there any way where I can pass the boolean value dynamically to hideCheckboxColumn in the component?

A: NO. you cannot the attribute hideCheckboxColumn is at the component level and its all or nothing kind to show/hide checkboxes.
you will have to most likely create your own component using the markup and CSS provided in lightning design system

Apple TV 4K is built to take full advantage of 4K HDR so you watching TV gives you a visual treat of higher quality. From the beginning to now it has got a lot smaller and a lot smarter—and it has a few tricks up its sleeve that you might not know. Here are some tips to improve your Apple TV experience. They all work with the latest, fourth-generation box. This smart device offers you the live content you care about most the news and sports.
You can add apps; you can move them around to access your favorites more easily. You don't need to settle with the layout that Apple TV offers you as default. You can use your top part of the remote for re-arranging the apps, tap and hold on any app to move the icon somewhere else on the screen. Tap again to confirm. To delete an app from the home screen entirely, tap and hold on it and then press Play/Pause to delete it.
The most recent tvOS updates have enabled folders too. Just like on iOS, you can drag an icon on top of another icon to instantly create a folder, which will keep your apps more neatly organized. Drag the app icon out to the edge of the folder, and it will return to the home screen grid.
In Settings, there are more options for changing your home screen's appearance, including switching between a light and a dark interface mode and choosing from a list of available screensavers.
The Touch Remote- Cleverer Than It Looks!
If you find your Touch Remote too sensitive, or not sensitive enough, head to the Settings app then choose Remotes and Devices, then Touch Surface Tracking. You can check up on the remote's battery level at the same time.
You can double-tap the Home button to display all of your recent apps.
Within an app, if you scrub left or right on the touch-sensitive top half of the remote, it lets you go backward or forward in videos and audio tracks.
If you need to free up some storage, you can see which installed apps are eating up more space by going to Settings and then choosing General and Manage Storage. The next screen shows all the apps on your Apple TV, with the most significant culprit at the top.
There's a trash can right by each entry on the list—tap once on this icon, and you can delete the app and free up some space. You can always download the apps you are removing again.
Your Apple TV has Bluetooth on board, so make the most of it. You might already realize you can boost the audio capabilities of your box with Bluetooth speakers or headphones, but you can connect other devices as well.You can connect two Bluetooth devices can be connected to your Apple TV at any one time. Head to Remotes and Devices from the Settings app, and then choose Bluetooth to pair devices, or to remove one device and make room for a new one. Use a Bluetooth keyboard to control your Apple TV. To pair a keyboard make sure it's discoverable.
No more typing to find exactly what you're looking for. Siri has arrived on the Apple TV, so make use of the voice-controlled assistant by pressing and holding on the Siri button on the remote.Just ask Siri for a movie, show, genre, actor, or song you love.
The Siri's results pop up along the bottom of the screen most of the time, so they won't interrupt what you're doing. When watching movies and shows, you can say, "Forward or rewind ten minutes" to jump around, or ask, "Who stars in this?" to get a list of cast members to appear on the screen.
Certain apps can be helpful here, specifically Plex, which will stream audio, video, and photos from any computer on the same network straight to your Apple TV. Install Plex on your computer and also install the app on the Apple TV to get started. Plex has more information about setting up the app.
VLC Media Player, already one of the most versatile media players for computers and phones. On the Apple TV, it provides support for streaming almost anything from your local network.


Empress Nur Jahan ruled Hindustan for sixteen long years. While her story is often told with wonder and awe, historians and writers ignore the tale of her daughter, Laadli: the reluctant princess who found herself sucked in the maelstrom of her insensitive mother's ruthless ambitions. Destiny having thrust royalty on her, Laadli was trapped into living a life dictated by her ambitious mother. She travelled through tragic events of her life with a stoic optimism.
The novel is a peep into pages of history – a saga of broken hearts, palace intrigues, ruthless machinations, endless tussles for power and riches, decadence and debauchery. Set against the background of the opulence of the Mughal Empire, Nur Jahan's Daughter is the story of a royal lineage plunged into fratricidal friction, treachery, unbelievable loyalty and passion; a colourful tapestry woven with the splendorous skeins of life in medieval India and the Mughal courts. Nur Jahan's Daughter presents a vibrant and pulsating view of those times through a fascinating kaleidoscope of events.

Some time ago I bought a MAX232 chip to convert RS232 levels from my serial port to TTL 5V levels. I also bought a DB9 connector and some capacitors to go with it.
Unfortunately, I can no longer find those. I've pretty much looked everywhere.
This is a bad setback for me at the moment. Everything seems to be going wrong lately and its brought my morale down to a very low level. If I don't do something interesting or fun soon, I'm going to get lost, crash down and burn alive. I've been there once, it's horrible.
I sometimes wonder if this is what psychopaths go through before they snap. Not that I see myself becoming one, even under the worst of conditions.
I need to either focus hard on what I'm doing and forget the rest of the world, but that's what I've been trying to do and it's not working.
The other option is to go out and do social activities, have fun and relax. I have no idea how to do that.

Not that the first Okoy recipe I posted is difficult to make but this one is much simpler; less ingredients (anatto powder and baking powder) yet not lacking in flavor and texture that befits a delicious one. I just have to share it with you.
Place all the vegetables, egg, flour and cornstarch in a large mixing bowl.
Add water and gently toss everything together making sure all the vegetables are thinly coated with batter.
Using a large spoon, scoop mounds of the mixture leaving enough room between each other. Four at a time is ideal if using a medium pan. Flip when vegetable fritters start to brown at the edges.
It is very common to see whole shrimps in this vegetable fritter but chopping them helps distribute the shrimps in the batter more uniformly. Kabocha squash gives that delicious sweetness and texture I love- sort of creamy and moist but not soggy. You can throw in chopped spring onion for added flavor and color. Of course the temperature of the oil is crucial in frying. Not hot enough will cause the fritters to absorb too much oil and too hot will burn them. I don't use a thermometer when frying so the best bet is to heat oil slowly and to test if it's ready, you can drop a piece of carrot or squash and the way it sizzles will tell you it's ready. One large spoonful of the mixture is enough for a medium sized fritter- cooks faster too!

Xbox 360 backwards compatibility – looking back to the future?
With E3 around the corner, we're coming up on the one-year anniversary of Microsoft's backwards compatibility program for the Xbox One. Announced by Phil Spencer on-stage at Microsoft's E3 presser last year, the program allows players to revisit a growing number of Xbox 360 games that might otherwise have been left behind, and now seems to be a good time to take a look at the current state of backward compatibility on Xbox One.
There are currently over 150 games available, and while the most sought-after titles (as voted for at the Uservoice page) such as Black Ops II, Skyrim or Red Dead Redemption have yet to surface, there are still some heavy hitters ready to play right now – games like the original Black Ops, which has just been added, the entire Gears of War saga, Halo Reach and Halo Wars, and Alan Wake. Some publishers seem to be happier than others to make their games available on the service, with Sega in particular showing strong support; just recently we've had Jet Set Radio HD, Sonic & Knuckles and Phantasy Star II added, among others. Here's hoping for Sonic Generations and Racing Transformed before too long.
Backward compatibility was Microsoft's big surprise announcement last year, and one wonders how they might follow that up next month. Spencer has previously indicated that he'd love to see original Xbox compatibility make its way to the Xbox One, and while I'd personally love to see that happen (if only for the Sega exclusives still stuck on that platform), I think we'll likely be waiting a while for that; while additions to the 360 catalogue have picked up a bit recently, it's still going to be a while before the bulk of that catalogue is available on Microsoft's newest machine, so that's undoubtedly where the team's focus will be for the foreseeable future. Having said that, Mike Ybarra, one of the main minds behind 360 BC, has indicated that his team have a couple of things in the pipeline that are on the same scale as that E3 2015 announcement, so who knows? It'll be interesting to see what they bring to the Los Angeles Convention Centre next month.
Oh Dom, why do we have to do this again ;___;
There's an ongoing joke about backwards compatibility that says it's the feature everyone wants but nobody uses, and that past the first year of a new generation, as the hardware beds in and more games begin to take advantage of the additional power, it gets forgotten. For my part, I've always made rather sparing use of backwards compatibility in generations past, but to my mind, two things make the Xbox One feature particularly great.
First of all, I'm still playing 360 games. The previous generation was a long one and I'm sure I'm not the only one who still has some kind of backlog on their last gen systems – I'm yet to play South Park: The Stick of Truth, which is one of the games playable on the Xbox One. Knowing I can get around to it whenever I feel like it without having to hook up another system is pretty handy, and I hope some more of the games in my backlog, like Binary Domain and Asura's Wrath, get added down the line. Don't get me wrong, I still have my 360 hanging around, but it's not always hooked up, unlike my Xbox One, which is always connected in order to feed my Halo 5 addiction.
Secondly, there's the way the feature integrates with your existing library. You can of course simply put a compatible disc in, download the game and then play, but it's the ease with which your digital purchases carry over that makes backward compatibility such a pleasure to use. Maybe you bought The Witcher 2 on the Xbox store a few years back, or got Gears of War 3 via Games with Gold? Perhaps you bought Shadow Complex back during 2009's Summer of Arcade? All of them will simply appear in your download list on the Xbox One, ready to go when you want them. I already have around 50 Xbox 360 games installed on my Xbox One, and it almost makes the console feel a little bit like my PC Steam account; I can just pick from a bunch of games and then launch one without having to get up and switch discs. Add to that the ability to use Xbox One-specific features like taking screenshots or game clips, or even livestreaming, and they may as well be native games.
Just 'cause Alan's still got his 360 hooked up doesn't mean we all do.
While the backward compatibility program hasn't noticeably moved the needle on console sales (and I imagine that the main aim of it was to encourage 360 owners to make the jump), it's certainly a crowd-pleaser for those already deep within the Xbox ecosystem, and it makes me wonder what Microsoft's plans are going forward. We've had comments from Spencer about mid-gen hardware refreshes in the last few months, and with the recent PlayStation 4 Neo leaks – including the expectation that it'll be both backwards and forwards compatible – it's looking like the console landscape will be moving to a model of iterative hardware, with the focus on an evolving platform, rather than a specific piece of hardware. Imagine buying a console in 2026 that also gives you access to everything you bought back in 2006. Or even 2001. What if there's no PS5 or XB2, but instead just a 'PlayStation' and an 'Xbox' that play all of your games, past present and future. Wouldn't that be pretty amazing?
To me, Xbox 360 backward compatibility feels like Microsoft's first step in enabling a future like that. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here.

Bugging summer smallmouth
Contrary to conventional wisdom, late summer can offer explosive topwater smallmouth action
by Tom Davis - Monday, Aug 30th, 2021
Photo: Tim Tim Landwehr / Tight Lines Fly Shop
I could have marked the rock hump with GPS, or even a simple bleach-bottle buoy. But this was a family vacation to the Wisconsin Northwoods, not a fishing trip, and my kit was bare-bones: an 8-weight rod, a box of bugs, a couple spools of leader material. When I spotted the pair of outsized smallmouth—I was poking around under a high midday sun in the aluminum rowboat that came with our cottage—I had to go Old School to be sure I'd find my way back when the lake glassed off that evening.
Triangulation, it's called. Remember that? A white boathouse, a lightning-scarred pine, and the wreckage of a duck blind gave me landmarks to reckon by, and when I rowed out after supper a swell of anticipation rose in my chest with each pull of the oars. The lake, as I'd hoped, had gone mirror-smooth. I anchored with the reddening sun at my back, knotted a chartreuse Dahlberg Diver to my leader, greased it up, and began slinging casts. A loon yodeled from a nearby bay, raising the hair on the back of my neck.
Bent like a heron, eyes glued to that quiff of day-glo deerhair and rod pointed straight at it, I worked the fly in short glugs with my line hand, pausing to let the ripples settle before twitching it again, the bug submerging briefly then bobbing to the surface ...
Ker-pow!
Or maybe it was Ka-boom! It's a commentary on my misspent youth, I suppose, that a heavy smallmouth blowing up on a bug always conjures comic-book shorthand. It points up the fact, too, that among smallmouth guides, who have to get their kicks when and where they can, it's all about the "eat."
Fishing the crash
Largemouth bass on the fly: Tips from the pros
The wild unknown
Those of us lucky enough to be attached to one of these brawlers also savor the next part: the slugfest that bends your stick to the corks and threatens to put your rod arm in traction. On this occasion, sadly, the smallmouth scored a first-round TKO. The instant the bass felt the hook it erupted from the water in a torquing leap and, just that fast, came unstuck. The fish gave me enough of a look, though, to establish its generous dimensions—and make me grumpily second-guess my decision to use a barbless fly.
The conventional wisdom in the smallmouth camp, its northern chapter in particular, is that the best topwater fishing comes early—May through mid-June, roughly. Or, to pin it down more precisely, just before and after the spawn. The bass are in the shallows then, making them more accessible to surface presentations and at times even affording the chance to sight-cast to them.
As the summer waxes and the water warms, the smallmouth drift into deeper lies. This is when a lot of flyfishers, assuming that the window of topwater opportunity has closed, stow their bugs and poppers for the season—and deprive themselves of some of the most explosive action of the year.
The person who opened my eyes to this was Wendel Dafcik. The co- proprietor, with his brother Kurt, of Crow Rock Lodge on Ontario's Lake of the Woods—a fabulous smallmouth destination, FYI—Wendel was my early mentor in the art and science of bass-bugging.
"Mid- to late-summer is my favorite time to fish topwater," he insisted. "You typically get a lot of warm, still, stable weather then, and under those conditions the smallmouth really orient to the surface. The 'big boys'—the 3-, 4-, and 5-pounders—get active then, too."
All true—but it's vitally important at this time of year that you pick your spots. Bugging during the middle of the day is just sweaty casting practice; better to focus your efforts on the early morning hours and, especially, the two-to-three hours before sunset. That's when the bass, invigorated by the cooler water and emboldened by the lower light, move up to prowl the rocky points, reefs, and shorelines. A few bulrushes or lily pads sweeten the pot; ditto the presence of any kind of woody structure.
These fish are hunting aggressively, and they're not choosy. When that bug or popper gurgles into view and trips the smallmouth's predatory trigger, all hell breaks loose.
That's another thing about late-summer smallies: They fight like demons. Their stamina having ramped up to match their punching power, the same bass that in May or June would have given you just enough of a tussle to suggest what it's capable of will now plain wear you out. A springtime smallmouth is a sparring partner; a summer smallmouth is a beast.
I've been talking about stillwater smallmouth here, but while river smallies are a somewhat different animal they, too, get fatter, fitter, and more responsive to topwater presentations as the summer progresses. They're also affected just as positively by stable weather patterns—maybe more so.
The leader and hook point both checked out, so I swished the bug in a tube of fly-dry, shook off the excess crystals, and waited. A brood of half-grown mergansers skittered through the reeds in front of the ruined blind. The evening air was tightening and I buttoned my shirt at the throat.
After a while I stood up and started casting again. The fish I'd stung was unlikely to return but maybe his partner would give me a whirl.
He did. This time, despite a display of acrobatic leaps and bruisingly powerful rushes that left me shaking my head in awe, the hook held. The tape
read 19 inches—about 4½ pounds. I gave him one last admiring look before slipping him back into the water.
I rowed to the cottage in deepening twilight. A pair of loons were calling now, playing question-and-answer in voices as old as time.

10 Missions Media Selects Indigo Trigger to Improve Content and Audience Platform Integration
Project will focus on advancing Omeda & ePublishing integration to drive new revenue opportunity and improve customer experience

"We spent the better part of September and October reviewing all parts of the 10 Missions audience and content eco-system. After working closely with the team for a few months — and with the help of some great partners at Omeda and ePublishing — we were able to deliver a recommendation and blueprint that the 10 Missions team was happy with. From there, it was all about charging ahead to deliver on the recommendation, which is where we are now."
As part of the project, INDIGO TRIGGER will drive the project and act as a system integrator for the Omeda platform, working as an extension of the 10 Missions team. The project, which kicked off in mid-October, will run in two phases spanning roughly five months, with the first phase going live mid-January 2022.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Sterling Brown sued the city of Milwaukee and its police department Tuesday, saying officers' use of a stun gun during his arrest for a parking violation constitutes excessive force and that they targeted him because he is black.
Brown's attorney Mark Thomsen filed the lawsuit in federal court, accusing police of "discriminating against Mr. Brown on the basis of his race." The lawsuit alleges officers involved in his arrest used their incident report to try to reframe what happened to give the impression Brown was resisted and obstructed them.
"Mr. Brown hopes that instead of the typical denial of the claims ... the city actually admit to the wrongs, admit that his constitutional rights were violated," Thomsen said at a news conference outside City Hall after filing the lawsuit.
Brown never appeared to threaten police before or during his arrest, according to police body-camera videos.
Mayor Tom Barrett said in a statement he hopes something good comes from the lawsuit.
"I'm hopeful this incident will be a turning point and allow us to take those actions necessary to improve police community relations," he said.
Police Chief Alfonso Morales has not responded to an Associated Press request for comment.
Morales apologized to Brown last month when body-camera video of the arrest was released. Brown wasn't charged with anything and three officers were disciplined, with suspensions ranging from two to 15 days.
A group of officers discussing the arrest shortly after it happened talked about "trying to protect" themselves from possible backlash over their confrontation with an NBA player and synchronized "their stories concerning what took place in the parking lot," the lawsuit said.
One officer reacted to the arrest with glee, according to the lawsuit, which showed screenshots of him going on Twitter to mock Brown.
"Nice meeting Sterling Brown of the Milwaukee Bucks at work this morning! Lol(hash)FearTheDeer," one tweet read, referencing a slogan used to cheer on the Bucks at games. That same officer posted a racist meme of Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant, according to a screenshot from the lawsuit.
Police have only released the body camera video of the first officer who contacted Brown. But additional body camera and squad car videos showed the moments after officers used a stun gun on him. In one, Brown is on the ground and handcuffed when an officer puts one of his boots on Brown's ankle, holding it there. Brown doesn't mention being in any discomfort but he questions the officer's actions.


Naruto Uzumaki, a hyperactive and knuckle-headed ninja, lives in Konohagakure, the Hidden Leaf village. Moments prior to his birth, a huge demon known as the Kyuubi, the Nine-tailed Fox, attacked Konohagakure and wreaked havoc. In order to put an end to the Kyuubi's rampage, the leader of the village, the 4th Hokage, sacrificed his life and sealed the monstrous beast inside the newborn Naruto.
Shunned because of the presence of the Kyuubi inside him, Naruto struggles to find his place in the village. He strives to become the Hokage of Konohagakure, and he meets many friends and foes along the way.

iPhone XR will reportedly be replaced by iPhone 12s in Q2 2021
A new Nintendo Switch, the first major PS5 games, and the next 'Halo' entry: These are the 5 biggest things to expect from gaming in 2021

Algorithms and automation: Making new technology faster and cheaper
Samsung dreams of 600MP phone cameras, but they're not without their challenges
Previously, conflicting information had emerged about iPhone XR's future. We now seemingly know when it will be discontinued and which phone will replace it.
Leaker Komiya claims that after the introduction of the iPhone 12, Apple will stop selling the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max. They also say that the iPhone XR will be taken off the market by the end of the first quarter of 2021.
The tipster says Apple will launch a new model by the name of iPhone 12s in the second quarter of 2021.
As Tom's Guide points out, Apple used to release S models in the past, but as modest annual upgrades.
If the new rumor has any substance to it, the iPhone 12s will be released a few months after the iPhone 12 goes on sale. Speaking of which, don't expect the new models this month. A recent report has corroborated claims about an October release. Even the latest leak hints at the same.
The iPhone 12s will supposedly be LTE-only
Back to the iPhone 12s, it could be the rumored 4G-only iPhone 12. According to earlier forecasts, this variant will be announced in February 2021. This estimate is loosely in line with the alleged Q2 release time frame. After all, if the iPhone 12 launch date has been moved up, Apple might reschedule the release of the 4G model too.
Based on this assumption, the iPhone 12s will retail for $800. We expect it to have more in common with the iPhone 12 Pro than the standard iPhone 12.
Rosenblatt Securities analyst Jun Zhang had previously claimed that the LTE iPhone 12 won't have a lot in common with the 5G models. He was also expecting Apple to launch two 4G-only models, but that seems unlikely at the moment.
All the 5G-ready iPhone 12 variants will probably feature the upcoming A14 Bionic chipset and OLED displays. The iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Max will likely come with a dual-camera system, and the Pro modes will have a triple camera setup with a LiDAR depth sensor.
Only the highest-end model is expected to offer mmWave 5G.
