Pars tuberalis seu infundibularis, dio hipofize.

Dio je adenohipofize. U embrionalnoj fazi pars tuberalis razvije se od ektoderma usne šupljine.

Vrećasta izbočina ektoderma na krovu primitivne usne šupljine embrija,  tik ispred ždrijelne membrane  (Rathkeova vreća) prethodnik je pars tuberalisa. Raste ka gore. Intenzivnom proliferacijom stanica prednje stijenke Rathkeove vreće, a malo produženje toga režnja raste duž drška hipofize. Njega pri tome obavija čineći pars tuberalis.

Građa
Građen je od brojnih krvnih žila (najbolje vaskularizirani dio hipofize) i vlaknastih struktura sličnih vezivnim vlaknima između kojih su brojne izdužene jezgre. Na tom su mjestu i svojstvene stanice adenohipofize. Tuberalni dio je ljevkast i okružuje infundibul neurohipofize. Među kapilarama su i nakupine epitelnih stanica čiji je oblik najčešće oblika kocke. Jedine su to stanice unutar hipofize u kojima može biti glikogena. Do danas nije otkriveno proizvode li stanice tuberalnog dijela uopće ikakve hormone.

Krvlju ju opskrbljuje gornja hipofizna arterija (arteria hypophysialis superior, arteria hypophyseos superior), koja je ogranak cerebralnog dijela unutarnje karotidne arterije.

Pars nervosa se nastavlja s eminencijom medijanom hipotalamusa preko drška hipofize. Parvocelularnim neuroni iz hipotalamusa završavaju u eminenciji medijani hipotalamusa.

Day 1 at MQ
Today is the third annual MQ meeting. A group of pPODers came along and were excited to hear about MQ's work and all of the exciting mental health research taking place across the world.
Sophie Dix, Director of Research gave us a warm welcome, introducing us to MQs brilliant new "Swear campaign", promoting the amazing plethora of work the charity are involved with, using research to break down barriers in mental health. At the heart of this was MQs multidisciplinary approach to taking on this challenge from all angles. Did you know that on average three children in every class have a diagnosable mental health disorder and only one in four of those are getting the help they need?
First up was Keynote speaker 1, Professor Louise Arseneault who shared with us her insightful work on the victims of bullying. Louise's work focuses on the victims themselves rather that the perpetrator, finding that the victims may have certain characteristics that increase their likelihood of victimization such as maltreatment at home. She also gave evidence from her extensive work using twins of the detrimental mental health effects of bullying, accounting for many confounds including previous mental. She even shared with us work showing bullying is even implicated in a poorly regulated immune system as well as a study showing emotional distress is associated with childhood bullying as late as till 55 years old!
Next was a symposium of anxiety and related behaviors, starting with Assistant Professor Susanna Ahmari (University of Pittsburgh) guiding us through new technology being used to discover brain correlates of repetitive thoughts within OCD. Using mouse models Susanna explained how her team was able to increase obsessive grooming in mice by optogenetically stimulating connections between the Orbitofrontal Cortex and Striatum. This increased grooming persisted after stimulation and increased brain plasticity in parallel. A very exciting finding as Deep brain stimulation to the Ventromedial area currently used to reach deep brain areas to the same effect of increased plasticity may be able to be applied non-invasively using Transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Professor Hugo Critchley from the University of Sussex, showed us his novel research that uses participant's accuracy of their own heart beat rate timing to measure interoception. Following on from work suggesting that those with conditions such as anxiety may show more discrepancy between there subjective perception and objective heartbeat he has developed therapy's to alleviate anxiety by teaching individuals to be more accurately aware of their own bodily states, a simple but brilliantly promising therapy.
Professor Michelle Moulds (University of New South Wales) was the last speaker on this symposium. Both from work in the UK and in Australia, she has developed an innovative new transdiagnositic approach to treating repetitive thoughts within depression and anxiety, arguing that these presentations show more similarities than differences between diagnoses. From this she has developed a non-diagnosis specific measure of repetitive thoughts that cuts across disorders. Her work brings about interesting questions of the commonalities between disorders and the causes of comorbidities. Much of this will I'm sure be discussed in tomorrow's Panel discussion "what use is a diagnosis?", watch this space…
After a brilliant lunch we reconvened with symposium 2 on early mechanisms of mental illness. Professor Ezra Susser kicked us of with the effects of prenatal micronutrients. He presented studies on the effects of micronutrients prenatally and their relation to schizophrenia in later life, including naturalistic examples from Dutch and Chinese samples. However Susser noted that generally we do not have large enough of long enough randomized controlled trials to infer causality largely due to the difficulty of experimenting using pregnant women. Susser also stressed the importance of viewing translational science not as a linear process from basic science clinical application then implementation but rather a dynamic process where each process learns from the other. He also noted that this time of globalization was one to branch out and share knowledge- something I hope we are all contributing to over these two days!
Professor Beatrice Rico added to the debate by discussion of inhibitory circuitries related to schizophrenia. She discussed the role of altered GABA signaling in schizophrenia and her work on interneurons ran from her lab at Kings College London.
Professor Jonathan Mill gave us an overview of the work from his work in both The University of Exeter and Kings College London. He presented evidence of the new emergence of epigenetics in relation to schizophrenia, highlighting that the gene regulation implicated in epigenetics changes at different points in one's lifespan. He highlighted that there are critical periods in pre and perinatal period for epigenetic influences from diet, infection, medication, climate, hormones, psychosocial factors, radiation, toxins, drugs. In order to explore the full effects, research needs reflect an epidemiological design. Exciting research ahead!
Last but not least Professor Carmen Sandi (The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne) closed with her work into the (plasticity coding) STX gene in mice. Fascinatingly STX knockout mice show reduced plasticity in the amygdala, inhibiting their freezing conditioning response. Using this finding Carmen's team are attempting to use this as a mouse model of psychopathology, as the mice show such an increase of pathological aggression to not only their competitor males, but also to female mates and juveniles. This is important to think about how these findings are modeled onto humans and perhaps an indicator as to how this aggression can inform cycles of interpersonal violence. A final interesting observation of the purposely-bred mice was that the social hierarchy in place could vulnerability and responses to stimuli with mice with a lower social status having poorer outcomes.
Overall a fascinating and inspiring talk had by all the pPod team, with lots of food for thought! The day ended with linking in with colleagues and a huge display of posters, with Emily representing the Healthy Start, Happy Start study. Roll on day 2…..

A little story. A psychiatrist cured me of OCD. I didn't follow through and he later died. This is what I've learned. You train the subconscious to give up it's secrets by reading the patients repetitive thought pattern aloud as the patient free associates, in brief word groups. Spread it out over the course of three and a half months till the patient acts out the repressed experience(s) and relates them to the therapist. Get the patient to face them so the therapist can reverse them Make sure the patient follows through with the therapy or the patient could end up in worse shape like me.

USA, Canada and Mexico to jointly host the 2026 World Cup
The World Cup will return to American shores for the first time since 1994 after a 'United Bid' claimed a landslide victory in the World Cup bidding vote
By Simon Head - 13 Jun 2018
The World Cup will be heading Stateside for the second time in eight years' time.
The United States teamed with Canada and Mexico to form a 'United Bid' for the 2026 World Cup Finals, which will be the biggest World Cup tournament ever staged.
The bid was officially confirmed as the winner on Wednesday, beating off a rival bid from Morocco to earn the right to host the tournament. The 'United Bid' polled 134 of the 200 votes cast, a total of 67% of the vote. Morocco polled 65 votes.
A monumental day for our sport. The #United2026 dream is now a reality.

It means the World Cup will return to American shores for the first time since they hosted the tournament back in 1994.
The tournament in the US was a qualified success, with huge attendances across the nation and an exciting tournament that starred the likes of Romario, Hristo Stoitchkov and Roberto Baggio.
Following the success of USA '94, a new professional soccer league, Major League Soccer, was formed, and the 'MLS' has grown into an established member of the American sports family, with an exciting, vibrant product played out in front of passionate fanbases from coast to coast.
Newly-elected US Soccer president Carlos Cordeiro hailed the winning bid, tweeting: "Thrilled that the 2026 World Cup is coming to the USA, Mexico and Canada!
"We're ready to welcome players and fans to the greatest sporting event the world has ever seen!"

— Carlos Cordeiro (@CACSoccer) June 13, 2018
The 2026 tournament will be the largest ever staged by FIFA, with a 48-team lineup playing a total of 80 matches in a 34-day period across 16 host cities.
The majority of the tournament will be held in the United States, with the cities of Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, New York/New Jersey, Orlando, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington D.C. shortlisted to host games. Ten of the US cities listed will be selected as host cities ahead of the tournament.
For the first time ever, World Cup football will also be staged in Canada, with the cities of Edmonton, Montreal and Toronto hosting games.
And the bid will also see the World Cup return to Mexico for the first time since 1986, when the nation recovered admirably from a huge earthquake in Mexico City to host the tournament only eight months later.
The Mexico '86 tournament remains one of the most beloved in football history, as a Diego Maradona-inspired Argentina charged to the final and defeated West Germany 3-2 to become world champions in a tournament packed with great games and stunning goals.
Forty years on from that historic tournament, the World Cup will return to Mexico, with the cities of Monterrey, Guadalajara and Mexico City hosting matches in 2026.


A former warehouse, Arnolfini is one of Europe's leading centres for the contemporary arts, presenting innovative, experimental work in the visual arts, performance, dance, film, music and events over five exhibition spaces, a theatre/cinema auditorium, reading room and light/dark studios are housed in the Grade II listed building.
We have been working with the Arnolfini since 2012, providing mechanical and engineering support as well was consultancy services on facilities management topics. Throughout this time, Almeda has provided a range of planned and reactive services, as well as consultancy advice and project performance.
We firmly believe that the ongoing manageability is a direct result of effective mobilisation and close liaison with the customer. With the initial validation of asset details, we are able to identify the compliance requirements of each asset and fully populate our information management system such that we can establish the most efficient method for applying a planned and reactive technical service.
The performance of this assessment of assets allowed Almeda to determining when the Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) needed to be carried out in line with industry standards. Once established and agreed, the PPM schedule has minimised the challenges that would ordinarily be associated with a site such as this. Indeed, by regularly discussing the forecasted work with the customer, we minimise disruption while also ensuring that the appropriate resource, material and subcontractor support is arranged for on time completion.
When required, we provided rapid emergency response, as we did when the basement flooded. Almeda responded to an emergency call out on a weekend within 1 hour when a leak in some pipework had caused the basement to flood. When we arrived on site, we installed specialist plant to pump the water out of the basement and then fixed the leak. We returned to site the following day to ensure that the customer was satisfied with the resolution, what also checking the state of the site to ensure that the fix had been correctly completed first time.


OpenDoor Services offers three main service areas to its consumers; Employment Training, Behavior Management, , and Community Integration. Incorporated within these programs are trainings such as those listed below.

A screen shot from the video posted Monday by Coachella previewing this year's mysterious art installation.
Coachella organizers partially lifted the veil of secrecy around this year's art installation by posting a two-minute video to Facebook, promising a bigger, more complex piece.
The video, called "Building soon," was released around noon Monday on the Coachella Facebook page. In just a few hours, it had been shared hundreds of times.
"We're conducting a whole building process on the polo field at Coachella. That's our canvas. That's our pile of clay," one of the artists in the video says.
A photo of the mysterious installation was posted on Reddit before it was pulled down over the weekend. Coachella's annual art installations are often shrouded in mystery. Years past have included a three-story astronaut and a giant snail.
For this year, Coachella's organizers are promising to spend more money than ever before. Work began four years ago, according to the video.
"It's gonna to blow people away," according to the video.

Q: NetBeans 10 Blurry when JDK 11 is Installed? When I originally installed Apache NetBeans 10 I was using JDK 8 (1.8.0_201) and the GUI looked fine.
Loading Menu fine with JDK 8
IDE fine with JDK 8
I got NetBeans 10 for the purpose of working with Java 11, however after installing JDK 11 (11.0.2), the NetBeans GUI became bigger and blurry, and I don't know why?
Loading Menu Bigger and Blurry with JDK 11
IDE buttons and images blurry with JDK 11
I will also note that this also happens with my swing programs I was developing in Java, once Java JDK 11 was installed all the buttons in the programs became bigger, and the images became blurry.

Q: How do I tell lxml which charset to use? I'm working with html and using lxml to parse it. For testing purposes I have an html document saved as a string in a python file with encoding=utf-8 at the top.
Whenever I try to parse the html using lxml I get weird html encodings if the html does not have the <meta charset="utf-8"> tag.
This is the code:
t = lxml.html.fromstring(page_html)
print lxml.html.tostring(t)

If the page_html string contains the meta charset above the tostring() method returns nicely encoded html (i.e. ' turns into ’). If it does not have it, the results are garbled (i.e. ' turns into â€™)
This encoding happens in the fromstring method rather than the tostring one so I can't just insert a new meta element in the tree after it is created as by that time it is to late.
The only solution I can think of is to try and modify the original html string and add the meta tag there before creating the tree. This seems kinda klunky though. Isn't there a better way to do it using lxml?

A: Turns out I just need to pass in a custom parser to the fromstring method. So this fixes it:
parser = html.HTMLParser(encoding="utf-8")
t = lxml.html.fromstring(page_html, parser=parser)
print lxml.html.tostring(t)


The story of IULY.B is pretty simple: born in Iasi, he discovered and developed his production skills through self-learning when he was just a teenager, a hobby that in time evolved into something more serious.
His records over the last five years have proven popular with releases for renowned labels such as Visionquest, Memoria, and Fuse London (Infuse). Deep, hypnotic energies are forged into merciless basslines, born out of IULY.B's rich imagination and keen sense of space. The young producer has a specific depth of field that's loaded with percussive details, making its ambient sensibilities feel active rather than passive.

A year ago, young lovers Nicole and Jess (Julie Mond and Joey Mendicino) ran away from home and have yet to return, prompting Jess's brother (Richard Tillman) and his friends to set out on a sweeping search for the couple. But the friends don't bargain for a run-in with a murderous madman. The crazed psycho might well be responsible for the disappearances of Nicole and Jess -- and could potentially become the catalyst for their own undoing.

I am bout to start tomorrow 4 Jan. I have used the old style body trim in the past so this is different this time. I am hoping I can get my routine sorted before going back to work so that I don't have to worry about food issues.
I have a lot to loose. 70Kgs there about is the dream amount. But I will break it down into stages to keep it more achievable and not look like a massive mountain to climb as such. So my first goal is to loose around 4kgs before going back to work. I think it is achievable and then to look at 5kgs each month as a starting goal.
Good luck and let me know how you go. You are only 1 day ahead of me.

The immortal, prototypical detective first appeared on the film screen in a 30-second, 1900 one-reeler (registered in 1903) from American Mutoscope and Biograph Company, titled Sherlock Holmes Baffled (1900). Hopefully this problem will soon be remedied. However, this delegation was accused of spying and sent in exile to a remote desert. I have been very generous and depicted the 3 objects grouped together. In a will, he read the words: "I, Bridget Hodgson, of the City of York, midwife…" His depiction of her in the series is carefully drawn from historical research, though the murders she investigates are fictional.

Q: Rails: Can I apply Ajax to a link_to method? As I understand it, Ajax allows you to only refresh the part of the page that you specify, as opposed to reloading the whole thing. Is there a way of doing this with a link_to method, for example, <%= link_to 'approve', approve_model_path(@model.id), method: :put %>  ? I can't figure out how a link_to could be executed without the whole page being reloaded.

A: You can apply ajax by setting remote to true:
<%= link_to 'approve', approve_model_path(@model.id), method: :put, remote: true %>

This does a js request, then you need an approve.js.erb to do the few changes you need (without refreshing the page)


Trevor Noah, the host who replaced John Stewart on The Daily Show, has written an extraordinary book about his experiences growing up in South Africa. The title of the book is Trevor Noah: Born a Crime. I enthusiastically recommend it!
Trevor Noah was the offspring of a South African mother and a white man who was her friend but not her husband, at a time when in South Africa, relations between the two races was against the law. He was raised by his adventurous, rule-defying, and yet deeply religious, caring, and wise mother. She taught him not to believe in limits.
This wonderful image and great insight explains so much about how Trevor Noah could come from apartheid South Africa, where he was only able to make it as a local hustler in the 'hood in his early adult life, to become the talented, creative and quick-witted host of The Daily Show.
This is true for so many people. When I work with clients to figure out a better career direction, one of the first things we do is to imagine a different future, one that plays to their strengths. I ask them to imagine a workplace they would want to go to every day. I ask them to think about a mission or missions that excite them. We talk about what they would do if they won the lottery. We talk about how they would fix their present job. We mine their pasts for information that will unearth strong interests and motivators, as well as aptitudes or natural talents that will help them rise to the top of their chosen field. This doesn't always get them everything they want, but usually gets them a lot closer to a work life they will enjoy.
If you have not had the experience of imagining a different and better future for yourself, it can be very hard to dream of a career that goes beyond the norm you know in the corner of the world where you live and grow up. Ask yourself what you want to do in life and then stretch that idea further. If you can dream it, you can try to work your way toward it. Identify the goal, and then plan the steps you want to take and start out on that path. Even if you do not end up getting to the exact goal you set, you are on a new and challenging path, which is in itself more gratifying.
I want to be clear. Just because you have an idea of what you want to accomplish in your career doesn't mean that you will actually get there. But often the goal is less important than you might think, because the process itself is also gratifying.
In my own life, when I was in college, I watched some of the Chicago Seven Trial in federal court. After that, I got it in my head that I wanted to be an Assistant US Attorney. At that time being a prosecutor was not considered to be a viable career path for a woman. It was a goal that was beyond the range of what I thought was possible. But after seeing a few days of that federal trial, I was so excited, I didn't care that it was not supposed to be a good career for a woman. I did not know I would actually be able to achieve my goal, but I took the necessary steps to try to get there by studying hard for and taking the LSAT, going to law school, landing a job as an Assistant State's Attorney, and working in the Official Misconduct Unit because it was similar to the work done by federal prosecutors. I also networked in a creative way to meet key people who could help me interview at the U.S. Attorney's Office. I am happy to say I was able to achieve my goal, and it was a fulfilling job. But even if I had never become an Assistant US Attorney, I had decided on a path I believed in and felt challenged by, and that was gratifying in itself. If you believe in the road you are on, the journey is actually part of the reward.
So dream beyond the highest rung! You might surprise yourself.

Buying a Semi Truck is never easy especially when you want to buy used semi truck. When you are buying a new semi truck it is easier because you don't have doubts' about the functionality of the truck and the equipment.
However in most of the cases many people are choosing to buy used semi truck over the new truck to save money but in these cases you need to perform detailed truck inspection in order to protect yourself from additional repair expenses or in the worst case from ending with a used semi truck that can't be properly repaired to serve you well.
In this article I will list 20 things that need to be checked before you decide to buy a used semi truck, so let's start.
When you want to buy used semi truck first thing that you need to do is contact your friends and ask if they have a used semi truck for selling.
Buying from people that you personally know is always a step forward from a good deal. That person will never sell you a used semi truck that is in a bad shape.
First and the most important they will inform you about the history of that used semi truck and the possible problems that you may face in future and next may give you a good friendly price.
We all know how the selling of used vehicles is performed. In the first look, the used semi truck can be extremely polished that you won't be able to notice the cracks of that deal until is too late.
If you can't find a friend that is selling used semi truck the second option is to check the online platforms.
These platforms are great for finding used semi truck. The cool thing is that you can search through hundreds of trucks and choose the one used semi truck that fulfills your needs.
But wait… after you find the right used semi truck for you now you need to go there and check the condition in person. You saved precious time for searching and now you need to be careful with the checkups.
Check the papers to see if they match with the used semi truck that you have in front of you. Respect everybody but most of all yourself. Don't let the flow take you away from the important things. Always trust the facts, not the face.
Be present and don't let be charmed and disrupt from the important things.
This step is very important and needs to be made because if the surface of the used truck is rusted the safety of the load is compromised. The rusted truck surface can make your semi truck to be not reliable for transportation.
Check the surface of the used semi truck in daylight, and do that very carefully and detailed. I will tell you that the rust checks are the first things that the dealerships are inspecting on a used semi truck so you conclude how important is to make this right.
Be aware that the rust may be under the surface and not easy for revealing. Lean your head to check the surface for raised spots and if you find one know that one sneaky rusty spot is hiding from you under that bubble.
Asking direct questions especially when you are face to face with the person that you are expecting the answer is the number one tactic to get the honest answer even if the person is not telling you the truth. The body language will tell the right information.
Remember it is your right to know what happened to that used semi truck before ending up in that lot. Everything you need to do is to ask the question and wait for the reaction. Like I said before be focused and don't let to be charmed with that salesman talk.
If he tries to change the subject be aware that he might be hiding some defects that can cost you a lot if you decide to buy that used semi truck.
Check every part of the used truck that can be opened. Defects of these parts can be a sign of bad maintenance of the trucks. If the previous owner didn't care for the doors he might not be that concern for the other parts of the truck.
However, for the doors and the windows important thing is to be in perfect shape because if the air circling in and out it will affect your health and it will slow the truck down which will affect the consumption of the truck.
Be sure that the door panels of the used semi truck are a perfect fit and properly fixed on the joints.
Checking the tires for proper tread is the first thing that you need to perform when you are checking the truck tires of one used semi truck but… don't forget to check the tires for cracks and other deformities.
Let be honest, you need used semi truck in good condition, not a truck that can harm you and harm the other participants on the traffic. The tires are the parts of the used semi truck that are connected to the highway and sudden tire blow can cause chained road catastrophe.

STILL IN THE HUNT: Bartlesville singles' players, No. 2 doubles squad still alive going into Saturday
By Mike Tupa mtupa@examiner-enterprise.com
Bartlesville High School's singles' players were still in contention for a consolation championship as their first day at the Class 6A state boys tennis tourney drew to an end.
At No. 1 singles, Al Le — who was seeded No. 7 out of 16 players — opened up by drubbing Shawnee's Will Jardan, 6-4, 6-4.
But, Le suffered a defeat at the hands of No. 2 seeded Brogan McLaughlin (Edmond North) in the quarterfinals, 0-6, 0-6.
Le moved over to the left side of the bracket, where he next will face Yukon's Nate Moore in the consolation quarterfinals.
Bartlesville's Luke Epperson also posted a 1-1 record on Friday. The unseeded No. 2 singles battler fell to No. 4 Chaden Hesses (Jenks), 0-6, 0-6, in the opener.
But, Epperson bounced back to snuff Yukon's Jackson Wolf, 6-2, 6-1.
Next on his radar is Tulsa Washington's Josey Orford, who is seeded No. 7.
At No. 1 doubles, Bartlesville's unseeded duo of Dax Butler and Jesse James suffered defeat in the first round to the rackets of the No. 4 seeded Edmond Memorial (Loberg and Redman) pair, 1-6, 0-6.
Butler and James next had to knock off the Norman North team of Nash and Sonne to stay alive — but came up short.
The Norman North duo eliminated Butler and James, 6-2, 6-3.
Bartlesville's No. 2 doubles twosome of Tony Morina and Cooper Williams had to take on the No. 5-seeded Owasso squad (Kendall and Perkins) in their curtain raiser. Owasso won, 6-0, 6-2.
Morina and Williams next had to take on Mustang's Downing and Reece in a clash of survival.
In one of the feel-good stories for Bartlesville at tennis state competition this year, Morina and Williams grinded to a gritty win against the Mustang pair, 6-4, 7-6.
Morina and Williams next will take on a Bixby pair to open play Saturday.

Q: Perl: $SIG{__DIE__}, eval { } and stack trace I have a piece of Perl code somewhat like the following (strongly simplified): There are some levels of nested subroutine calls (actually, methods), and some of the inner ones do their own exception handling:
sub outer { middle() }

sub middle {
    eval { inner() };
    if ( my $x = $@ ) { # caught exception
        if (ref $x eq 'ARRAY') {
            print "we can handle this ...";
        }
        else {
            die $x; # rethrow
        }
    }
}

sub inner { die "OH NOES!" }

Now I want to change that code so that it does the following:

*

*print a full stack trace for every exception that "bubbles up" all the way to the outermost level (sub outer). Specifically, the stack trace should not stop at the first level of "eval { }".

*Not having to change the the implementation of any of the inner levels.
Right now, the way I do this is to install a localized __DIE__ handler inside the outer sub:
use Devel::StackTrace;

sub outer {
    local $SIG{__DIE__} = sub {
        my $error = shift;
        my $trace = Devel::StackTrace->new;
        print "Error: $error\n",
              "Stack Trace:\n",
              $trace->as_string;
    };
    middle();
}

[EDIT: I made a mistake, the code above actually doesn't work the way I want, it actually bypasses the exception handling of the middle sub. So I guess the question should really be: Is the behaviour I want even possible?]
This works perfectly, the only problem is that, if I understand the docs correctly, it relies on behaviour that is explicitly deprecated, namely the fact that __DIE__ handlers are triggered even for "die"s inside of "eval { }"s, which they really shouldn't. Both perlvar and perlsub state that this behaviour might be removed in future versions of Perl.
Is there another way I can achieve this without relying on deprecated behaviour, or is it save to rely on even if the docs say otherwise?

A: It is not safe to rely on anything that the documentation says is deprecated. The behavior could (and likely will) change in a future release. Relying on deprecated behavior locks you into the version of Perl you're running today.
Unfortunately, I don't see a way around this that meets your criteria. The "right" solution is to modify the inner methods to call Carp::confess instead of die and drop the custom $SIG{__DIE__} handler.
use strict;
use warnings;
use Carp qw'confess';

outer();

sub outer { middle(@_) }

sub middle { eval { inner() }; die $@ if $@ }

sub inner { confess("OH NOES!") }
__END__
OH NOES! at c:\temp\foo.pl line 11
    main::inner() called at c:\temp\foo.pl line 9
    eval {...} called at c:\temp\foo.pl line 9
    main::middle() called at c:\temp\foo.pl line 7
    main::outer() called at c:\temp\foo.pl line 5

Since you're dieing anyway, you may not need to trap the call to inner(). (You don't in your example, your actual code may differ.)
In your example you're trying to return data via $@. You can't do that. Use
my $x = eval { inner(@_) };

instead. (I'm assuming this is just an error in simplifying the code enough to post it here.)

A: Note that overriding die will only catch actual calls to die, not Perl errors like dereferencing undef.
I don't think the general case is possible; the entire point of eval is to consume errors.  You MIGHT be able to rely on the deprecated behavior for exactly this reason: there's no other way to do this at the moment.  But I can't find any reasonable way to get a stack trace in every case without potentially breaking whatever error-handling code already exists however far down the stack.

A: UPDATE: I changed the code to override die globally so that exceptions from other packages can be caught as well.
Does the following do what you want?
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Devel::StackTrace;

use ex::override GLOBAL_die => sub {
    local *__ANON__ = "custom_die";
    warn (
        'Error: ', @_, "\n",
        "Stack trace:\n",
        Devel::StackTrace->new(no_refs => 1)->as_string, "\n",
    );
    exit 1;
};

use M; # dummy module to functions dying in other modules

outer();

sub outer {
    middle( @_ );
    M::n(); # M::n dies
}

sub middle {
    eval { inner(@_) };
    if ( my $x = $@ ) { # caught exception
        if (ref $x eq 'ARRAY') {
            print "we can handle this ...";
        }
        else {
            die $x; # rethrow
        }
    }
}

sub inner { die "OH NOES!" }

Democrats for Life walks back endorsement of pro-abortion candidate
When last week Live Action blogger Kristi Burton Brown called out Democrats for Life of America for endorsing Virginia pro-abortion Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Tim Kaine, she received this response from DFLA Executive Director Kristen Day:
We support Chairman Kaine because of his record and work with DFLA.� While Governor, Tim Kaine signed the Choose Life Life license plate bill in law.� We were proud to work with the Governor to ensure the bill was passed and critical funds could be used to support crisis pregnancy centers.� He also signed in to law the Pregnant Women Support Act introduced by Senator Phil Puckett and cosponsored by then Republican Senator Ken Cuccinelli.� �While Chair of the DNC, he supported pro-life Democrats and his policies help elect pro-life elected officials.
This despite the fact that Kaine's website states:
I strongly support the right of women to make their own health and reproductive decisions and, for that reason, will oppose efforts to weaken or subvert the basic holding of Roe v. Wade.� We all share the goal of reducing unwanted pregnancies and abortions.� The right way to do this is through education and access to health care and contraception rather than criminalizing women�s reproductive decisions.
Under fire, DFLA has now rescinded its endorsement, as noted by Secular Pro-Life. DFLA's current statement is almost the same as the endorsement, with the caveats…
Former DNC Chairman and Governor Tim Kaine has been a friend to DFLA and has previously defined himself as a pro-life Democrat…. His spokesman and website are is now identifying him as a pro-choice Democrat.�� DFLA, therefore, cannot endorse Governor Kaine.� However, should he be elected to the Senate, we look forward to the opportunity to work with him to pass pro-life legislation.
… Just in the nick of time, since Kaine released an ad yesterday castigating Republican pro-life opponent George Allen for his pro-life stance…

Obviously, DFLA did not vet Kaine.
As an aside, the national pro-life community has shunned DFLA since 2010, when Day signed affidavits in support of Democrat Congressman Steve Driehaus in his lawsuit against the Susan B. Anthony List, blaming the pro-life group's ad campaign for his defeat.
Day further implicated National Right to Life Committee and Family Research Council.
The lawsuit is still live and negatively impacting SBA List's work. SBA List announced last week that Lamar Companies would not erect its billboard against Indiana Democrat Congressman Joe Donnelly, because the Driehaus lawsuit had not been settled.
But as SBA List says, "If you can't do billboard, you do tv!"

If DFLA were really FL they wouldn't be D. �Period. �Why does nobody from DFLA ever speak at the March for Life?�
DFLA is a joke. I used to be a member when I was a Democrat, but became a vocal critic when in 2004, 1) some state chapters endorsed Kerry, and 2) they kept Rep. James Langevin on their Advisory Board even after he gave the introductory speech for Ron Reagan at the DNC where he promoted Embryonic Stem Cell Research. DFLA showed their true loyalty to the Democrat Party during the Obamacare battle when all but one of their pro-life sweethearts caved to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. Coward Bart Stupak is their poster boy.
If Bart Stupak did nothing else he taught us a Democrat is a Democrat is a Democrat, first, foremost, and only. If we learn nothing from that we are stupider than he was.
There is no such thing as a 'Democrat for Life', it doesn't exist.
CharlieE
There's no such thing as "pro-abortion"; it doesn't exist.

Pro-life Democrat?� An oxymoron.
Every year during the March for Life, "pro-life" Democrat Senator Bob Casey holds a conference in the Russell Building with pro-lifers who show up there, and during the conference he talks at us telling us what a great pro-lifer he is. � It's the same every year. �One year someone in the audience asked him, why do we need to come in here to see you, Senator Casey? �You should be marching for life with the rest of us! �But Casey's response is always that he is just too busy doing his job. �Yet somehow, Republican Congressmen and Senators are able to make the time to speak at the rally before the march.
Senator Casey might be a disgrace (he wasn't brave enough to defy his party and vote against funding Planned Parenthood).� His dad, however, was a true pro-life Democrat and mounted one of the most important challenges to Roe v. Wade.� Of course, he ended up getting screwed over at the 1992 DNC because of this (despite otherwise being a liberal governor).
They're rare, but they do exist and deserve support.
CharlieE,
Years ago pro abortion people called themselves just that…pro abortion. Abortion was called abortion, not "choice" "women's health" or "reproductive freedom". When abortion started becoming more unpopular it was changed to pro choice.
So yes pro abortion does exist.
CharlieE, would you also agree that there's no such thing as "anti-choice" and that it does not exist? Just wondering.�
Courtnay
Charlie, your president is pro-abortion. He sees his daughters' unplanned pregnancies as entirely solvable by abortion, because babies are "punish"ments.
Dude, do your homework. We're pros here.�
TheCardinalRules
Democrats for Life lost relevance when they supported that sham executive order in 2010 which, in practice, did nothing to stop taxpayer funding of abortion in Obamacare.
TheLastDemocrat
What is the reason for disparaging someone simply for being a democrat?
Elected officials are�a tiny portion of the ppl who identify with the democratic party.
In these recent four years, it has become clear�to may democrats that there�are two camps under the democrat banner: socialists and�plain ol' Constitution-believing democrats. Ted Kennedy was strongly pro-life before realizing the political advantage to be gained by being pro-choice, and the same for Jesse Jackson. The aceptability of abortion has been pushed by socialists, who have had to be "Fabian"/underground/masquarading as�plain ol democrats.
�"Occupy" has helped make this evident. NPR used to NEVER identify any of their heros as anti-capitalist or as socialist or marxists, even when these heros (Zinn, Chomsky, Steinam, etc.) are on record as socialists. Now, in the recent 2 years, there is a 50/50 they will mention this. Many Pacifica stations are playing the weekly "Uprising" show which is decidedly socialist, anti-capitalist.
This is not a time to�alienate your neighbors who identify as democrats�not because they want to subvert the dominant paradigm, but because they are interested in�a fair. level playing field between the employer and empployee, consumer and corporation, want due process, want quality�public education regardless of local SES, want product safety, want to protect the quality of the envirinment,�protect whistleblowers, a humane medical safety net, open government, etc. – and believe in the Constitution and in a regulated capitalist economy, where opportunity is fair, but not where any posessions are mathematically evenly distrbuted�across all.
This is a unique time. If Obama gets re-elected, the dem party will definitely split into 2 clear branches similar to the 'conservative/republican' split.
If you have friends and family who identify as democrat, you should encourage them to continue to be Americans, but point out how the party�is getting railroaded by people who want to boo God and make commitment to govt-funded abortion a line-in-the-sand issue.
They may or may not become republican or conservative. They may finally wake up and see that, yes, it has been proven that the Rosenbergs were communist Russian spies, and yes, many actors in the McCarthy days actually were reds. It is not wrong�to acknoweldge what history has revealed.
And yes, there is a 'communist party usa' – it is easy to find their website; there is a 'democratic socialists of america' -it is easy to find their website.
Or, you can cast blanket aspersions�on all democrats, and fulfill the stereotype of a boorish, insensitive, unthinking conservative.

This is not a time to�alienate your neighbors who identify as democrats�not because they want to subvert the dominant paradigm, but because they are interested in�a fair. level playing field between the employer and empployee, consumer and corporation, want due process, want quality�public education regardless of local SES, want product safety, want to protect the quality of the envirinment,�protect whistleblowers, a humane medical safety net, open government, etc. � and believe in the Constitution and in a regulated capitalist economy, where opportunity is fair, but not where any posessions are mathematically evenly distrbuted�across all.
I guess I just don't understand the need for "actual democrats" then, because America as it is already HAS all those things, and I don't think Republicans are trying to take any of those things away.

I also think the DFLA is a joke.�


Erythropoietin (Epo) is widely used clinically to treat anemia associated with various clinical conditions including cancer. Data from several clinical trials suggest significant adverse effect of Epo treatment on cancer patient survival. However, controversy exists whether Epo receptor (EpoR) is functional in cancer cells. In this study, we demonstrated that EpoR mRNA expression was detectable in 90.1% of 65 melanoma cell lines, and increased copy number of the Epo and EpoR loci occurred in 30 and 24.6% of 130 primary melanomas, respectively. EpoR knockdown in melanoma cells resulted in diminished ERK phosphorylation in response to Epo stimulation, decreased cell proliferation and increased response to the inhibitory effect of hypoxia and cisplatin in vitro. EpoR knockdown significantly decreased melanoma xenograft size and tumor invasion in vivo. On the contrary, constitutive activation of EpoR activated cell proliferation pathways in melanoma cells and resulted in increased cell proliferation and resistance to hypoxia and cisplatin treatment in vitro. EpoR activation resulted in significantly larger xenografts with increased tumor invasion of surrounding tissue in vivo. Daily administration of recombinant Epo fails to stimulate melanoma growth in vivo, but the treatment increased vascular size in the xenografts. Increased local recurrence after excision of the primary tumors was observed after Epo treatment. Epo induced angiogenesis in Matrigel plug assays, and neutralization of Epo secreted by melanoma cells results in decreased angiogenesis. These data support that EpoR is functional in melanoma and EpoR activation may promote melanoma progression, and suggest that Epo may stimulate angiogenesis and increase survival of melanoma cells under hypoxic condition in vivo.

Those moves hint at the transformation in Kristi Wolf's Shreveport, La., classroom once designer Genevieve Gorder, formerly of the television show "Trading Spaces," got her hands on it.
Student Ella Wolfe won the $25,000 facelift at Caddo Magnet Middle School for Ms. Wolf in a classroom-makeover contest.
The contest, sponsored by Expo, a producer of dry-erase markers and whiteboards, drew more than 11,500 entries nationwide, according to the St. Louis-based company. In 100 words or less, students described why their teacher (or in Ella's case, former teacher) deserved the top prize.
Ella wrote that Ms. Wolf was as "bright" as an Expo marker, and now her 6th grade classroom is, too, with soft-yellow walls, yards of black-patterned drapes in a similar shade, and red accents. Included in the makeover is a whiteboard that interfaces with a computer through special software.
Another 250 contest winners received $1,000 worth of Expo products for their schools. The competition is in its second year, but this is the first year the company has put $25,000 into a classroom.
Another grand-prize winner along with runners-up will be selected early in the new year.

Byrd named Carroll head football coach
Previous Carroll Football Coaches
Bernard Otten: 1961-65
James Spoerl: 1966-89
Donald Green: 1990-91
Mark Ewald: 1992-93
Steven Bartlett: 1994-2010
Robert Levy: 2011-13
Ben Rulli: 2014-18
RIVERSIDE — Carroll High School has selected current assistant coach and social studies teacher Cody Byrd as the varsity football team's eighth head coach.
Byrd takes over all football operations, effective immediately, replacing former head coach Ben Rulli who resigned from the position in January. Since joining the football program in August of 2017, Byrd has served as the special teams coordinator, pass game coordinator, and wide receivers coach.
"I'm incredibly excited to take the next step at Carroll," Byrd said. "This community is an unbelievable place to teach and coach. I'm blessed to be a part of the school, and I look forward to building a football program the Carroll community can be proud of."
Prior to joining the staff at Carroll, Byrd was the assistant for safeties and wide receivers at Eaton High School from July 2013 through December 2014. Byrd was also an active duty member of the United States Army as a Staff Sergeant stationed in Fort Bragg from May 2006 through June 2012. Byrd was directly responsible for training soldiers, managing more than $2.6 million of equipment, and conducting performance reviews of his subordinates. Byrd also served two combat tours (27 months total) in Afghanistan.
Byrd has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Social Science Education (Adolescent to Young Adult) and Master of Education in Integrated Social Studies from Wright State University, maintaining a 4.0 GPA in both courses of studies.
"We are very pleased to announce Cody Byrd as the next Head Football Coach at Carroll High School," Carroll High School Athletic Director Scott Molfenter said. "He is an excellent fit for our community, bringing an understanding and appreciation for what it means to be a complete student-athlete. Cody's military and coaching background have proven him to be a leader of young men, and we look forward to seeing the positive energy he will bring as the head coach of the Carroll Patriots."
"The Carroll football program has made great strides in the last couple of years, and Cody Byrd is a big reason why," Principal Matt Sableski said. "He has tremendous football knowledge, has earned the respect of his players and his peers, and is a natural leader. His moral compass and value set is exactly what we want in our head football coach."
Last season, Carroll finished with a 6-4 record and barely missed the postseason playoffs. The Patriots were eliminated from playoff contention in the final week of the season. Greater Catholic League Co-Ed records go back to the 2013 season. Carroll's 6-4 record was the school's only winning record during that span.

Tag: Adelaide Oval
Ashes Daily – To follow-on or not to follow-on: that is the question.
England have been behind the eight ball since Joe Root won the toss and decided to bowl four days ago, but if England go on to win tomorrow the question on everybody's lips will be 'gee, I wonder if the result would be different had Smith enforced the follow-on'.
At face value Smith's decision to bat again after dismissing the fragile English batting line-up makes sense.
The seamers had already bowled 76 overs and when you are carrying just three fast bowlers and a sole spinner through a five-match test series it is wise to give them a rest when the opportunity presents itself.
But consider the message enforcing the follow-on would've sent to England, who were bowled out for just 227 after seeing Australia pile on double that in a day and a half.
Had they been sent straight back in while the memories of the first innings carnage were fresh in the mind, England's batsmen would've been low on confidence rather than buoyed by the possibility of a history-defying win for the ages stemming from impeccable swing and seam bowling.
No batsmen at any level enjoys batting after a failure in the first innings because the pressure is on to avoid back-to-back low scores.
Fall cheaply twice in a test match and all of a sudden your career hangs by a thread.
You begin to question facets of your game and technique that were once completed without question while rumours swirl in the press of a likely replacement for the next match.
Four of England's top 5 failed to go past 20 in England's first innings; three of those are finding their way in test cricket and, had they been put back in on the evening of day three and dismissed cheaply once again, it might have set the tone for the remainder of the series.
Where is our next run coming from? How can we score over 300 against these bowlers?
Our next game is at the WACA – we could get rolled for 100.
Australia's bowlers would've looked more like the formidable West Indian attack of the nineties and the mind games that are so important in the Ashes would've set a cat amongst the pigeons in the English camp, potentially leading to further Overton-esque changes.
By electing to bat again, Smith has inadvertently given up Australia's stranglehold on both the test match and the series.
All of a sudden the English don't fear the Australian quicks, while the batsmen, who were previously infallible in their home conditions, are as human as the rest of us after all.
Cracks begin to form in the Australian batting ranks and before you know it the pressure is right back on them to avoid a loss to the old enemy on home soil.
If you need evidence of this, look no further than Peter Handscomb who could find himself out of the side if Australia goes down tomorrow.
Had Smith enforced the follow-on, Handscomb walks away with a score of 36 – assuming, of course, that Australia weren't required to bat again – and is automatically retained for the third test at the WACA.
A loss under such circumstances, however, shines a spotlight on technical deficiencies that are swept under the rug when a side goes through a series unbeaten.
Smith's decision has further ramifications that can't necessarily be quantified. England have gained confidence in their ability to dismiss the Australians, and, if they complete the job tomorrow, their batting is capable of what can only be described as a statistical impossibility.
A stat was flashed up on Channel Nine's telecast today. It detailed the highest run chases in test history at the Adelaide Oval.
The last side to chase down a score over 300 was way back in the early 1900's when wickets were uncovered and every delivery sent down by the opposition quicks was a potential landmine.
If a side can do it in these conditions, it can't be difficult to replicate such a feat on an artificially concocted drop-in wicket.
Even if the visitors fail, they have been given a huge leg up by a decision that could well decide the path this series takes.

Ashes Daily – Where have we seen this before? Dogged England show fight to keep faint title hopes alive.
Nothing but a memory now…An image from day two of the first 2017 Ashes test at the Gabba.
Today's play showed exactly why the Ashes is seen as one of the most exciting sporting spectacles on the planet.
England's batting crumbled as many predicted it would, before the Australians, electing not to enforce the follow-on, lost four of their own under the bright Adelaide lights.
Jimmy Anderson and Chris Woakes were the architects of England's recovery. Both made the ball talk in a way it hasn't so far this series to give their batsman a chance of saving the test match if – and it's a big if – they manage to dismiss the Australians for under 150 tomorrow morning.
If the Aussie quicks are let loose on the fragile English batting lineup for any longer than 4 sessions you get the feeling that it will be good night Irene by midway through the final day.
Give the England batsmen a total of 320 though and it's amazing what confidence from a dogged bowling effort can do.
Australia will need to produce the magic they did earlier today to dismiss proven performers like Root and Cook who have managed to get England out of the woods from a similar position several times in the past.
Both threw their wickets away this morning; Root pushing at a wide half-volley; Cook playing at a rather unthreatening delivery from Lyon with an open blade. Given another chance, it is unlikely they will fall in the same fashion.
Australia will, however, have the advantage of bowling under lights for two sessions before the end of this test match.
If the ball swings and seams like it did for Anderson, Broad and Woakes this evening, England's junior brigade will have no hope of fending off Australia's quicks to save the game.
Just as impressive as England's evening session were the Australian seamers who it appears have finally hit their straps.
Despite winning comprehensively at the Gabba, you got the sense that the quicks were below their best.
Cummins was on the short side for most of the first innings while Hazlewood looked to be down on pace.
Starc produced moments of brilliance but has improved with every over as the series has progressed.
One cannot write an article without mentioning the legend that is Nathan Lyon. It was only a year ago that he was on the outer following a tough series against South Africa and when Australia arrived at the Gabba for the first test against Pakistan, it looked as if Lyon might be left out.
The selectors opted in favour of the spinner over a fourth seamer and, since earning a regular spot, finds himself atop the wicket-takers list for 2017.
Of the top five players on that list, four are spinners.
Lyon has gone past Sri Lankan maestro Rangana Herath and usurped South African seamer Kagiso Rabada.
Joining him at the top of the leaderboard is Ravi Ashwin, who also has 55 wickets. Lyon, however, has played 2 fewer games.
By the end of his career, Lyon will have surpassed many of the game's greatest bowlers on the all-time leading wicket-takers list.
He is the glue that holds the Australian bowling attack together and has played a role in many of the wickets taken by the quicks down the other end.
They say you should judge an off-spinner on their ability to bowl their side to victory on the fifth day of a test match.
Many Australian spinners have had their day in the sun – Hauritz on the fifth day at the SCG in 2010 against Pakistan being one such example – but few have managed to do the heavy lifting on wearing wickets all over the world like Lyon does on a consistent basis.
If he continues the way he has so far this Ashes series, he might outlast the likes of Warner and Marsh who will step down when younger players with quicker reflexes hit the big time.
No off-spinner is currently putting their hand up for test selection in the Shield competition other than Agar, whom the selectors prefer to play deputy to Lyon on away tours to the sub-continent as he lacks the incumbent's control.
Jon Holand and Steve O'Keefe are also on the radar but haven't put their hands up when given the opportunity and are reaching the twilight of their respective careers.
Lyon, much like Warne, is a fan favourite and with this comes an enormous ego boost that helps a bowler's confidence when stood at the top of their mark.
If Australia are to win this test match, Lyon must stand up once again and their batsmen must push the lead beyond 350. Any less and they are leaving the door open for an Australian like comeback at Adelaide in 2006.
It seems unlikely, but we musn't forget that Root and Cook, not to mention Bairstow and Ali, have conquered uphill battles like this before.
You have to wonder what the English press would make of England's bowling performance tonight if Stokes was in the side.
350? Pfft. We'll do that inside two sessions. Remember Cape Town?
Tomorrow's morning session will decide the test match.

Ashes Daily – England's bowling attack requires fire and brimstone
Day One of the first test at the Gabba.
The English bowlers were well below their best at the Gabba last week. Broad and Anderson struggled to find rhythm, while Ball and Woakes looked tame at times and downright predictable at others. It seems to me that there is a lot of sameness about the English attack. Where is the out and out quick that strikes fear into the hearts of the batsmen? History tells us that if you want to stay competitive in an Ashes series, you're going to have to try some short stuff from time to time. It worked for Australia at the back end of the first innings and most of the second – particularly against the tailenders – but England don't have the bowlers capable of replicating this tactic.
Anderson, Ball and Woakes are all in the team to pitch the ball up and make it swing, but this plan of attack is ineffective when the pitch isn't offering the sideways movement of Trent Bridge or Lord's. When playing on flat wickets, the likes of which England will encounter at the SCG and MCG, bowlers must bend their backs and intimidate rather than float it up and pray for seam movement. Broad is the man that posses the pace required to execute a leg-side trap, but Anderson – whose record in Australia is rather disappointing for a bowler of his calibre – Ball and Woakes are all working towards a common goal that in Australia, with a Kookaburra ball and flat drop-in wickets, can be a frivolous task.
England would do well to bring in a Mark Wood, who is currently on tour here in Australia with the Lions, or Liam Plunkett, who appears to have been pigeonholed in the shorter formats. I must admit I haven't seen a lot of Overton and he could well be the man that adds some variety to an otherwise similar bowling attack. If so, the sooner they get him in the side the better. An attack featuring Ball and Wokes alongside Anderson and Broad is incapable of getting the job done at the WACA, where pace and bounce – and more importantly, who uses it best – often dictates the outcome of the game.
We all knew not having Stokes in the side would greatly weaken the English batting lineup, but it seems it has hurt the bowling unit just as much. Not only does he add the mungrel to get under the skin of the Australian batsmen, he adds variety to the pace attack that can trouble batsmen on flat wickets where swing bowling won't cut the bacon during the second innings.
Adelaide and the pink ball will suit the English quicks because the wicket will play into their hands and allow them to gain reward from standing the seam up as they would in England. As soon as they move on to the WACA, they require a point of difference to avoid the embarrassment of the Gabba. That point of difference is someone who can successfully execute a 145 kph short ball directed at the batsman's badge.

EU observers meet journalists in Hyderabad
Front Page, Media Development
HYDERABAD: Tereza Lewis and Ingo Buettner, the long-term members of the European Union (EU) Election Observation Mission (EOM)-Pakistan 2018 on Friday visited the local press club to ascertain first-hand information about the July 25 general elections in Hyderabad.
The observers explained to journalists the main objectives of the mission, saying that they were to support the democratic process in partner countries, to enhance people's confidence in the electoral process and to help promote respect for human rights and rule of law.
The club's office-bearers Nasir Shaikh (president), Mansoor Marri (vice president), Rauf Chandio (general secretary) and others briefed them about the arrangements for the polling and scenario of contests among candidates on National Assembly and Sindh Assembly constituencies in Hyderabad district.
Mr Shaikh expressed the view that the social media had emerged as a powerful tool while WhatsApp was being increasingly used by people for sharing information about all sorts of incidents, situations, developments and other happenings supported by video clips etc.
He observed that there was a new trend of people approaching candidates directly through the social media to inform them about their grievances and express their views with regard to the state of their areas.
The observers were told that candidates were facing problems in undertaking door to door visits within their constituencies as part of their election campaign.
They were informed that there was no pressure on people [voters] from political parties or candidates as anyone could freely talk to the candidates without any fear which seemed to be a significant change in the election environment.
EU's mission is led by the chief observer, Michael Gahler, who hails from Germany.
