In Silico Structural Homology Modelling and Docking for Assessment of Pandemic Potential of a Novel H7N9 Influenza Virus and Its Ability to Be Neutralized by Existing Anti-Hemagglutinin Antibodies
Kolin Harinda Rajapaksha, Nikolai Petrovsky
The unpredictable nature of pandemic influenza and difficulties in early prediction of pandemic potential of new isolates present a major challenge for health planners. Vaccine manufacturers, in particular, are reluctant to commit resources to development of a new vaccine until after a pandemic is declared. We hypothesized that a structural bioinformatics approach utilising homology-based molecular modelling and docking approaches would assist prediction of pandemic potential of new influenza strains alongside more traditional laboratory and sequence-based methods. The newly emerged Chinese A/Hangzhou/1/2013 (H7N9) influenza virus provided a real-life opportunity to test this hypothesis. We used sequence data and a homology-based approach to construct a 3D-structural model of H7-Hangzhou hemagglutinin (HA) protein. This model was then used to perform docking to human and avian sialic acid receptors to assess respective binding affinities. The model was also used to perform docking simulations with known neutralizing antibodies to assess their ability to neutralize the newly emerged virus. The model predicted H7N9 could bind to human sialic acid receptors thereby indicating pandemic potential. The model also confirmed that existing antibodies against the HA head region are unable to neutralise H7N9 whereas antibodies, e.g. Cr9114, targeting the HA stalk region should bind with high affinity to H7N9. This indicates that existing stalk antibodies initially raised against H5N1 or other influenza A viruses could be therapeutically beneficial in prevention and/or treatment of H7N9 infections. The subsequent publication of the H7N9 HA crystal structure confirmed the accuracy of our in-silico structural model. Antibody docking studies performed using the H7N9 HA crystal structure supported the model's prediction that existing stalk antibodies could cross-neutralise the H7N9 virus. This study demonstrates the value of using in-silico structural modelling approaches to complement physical studies in characterization of new influenza viruses.

W&L Professor Challenges Class of 2016 in Convocation Address
Addressing Washington and Lee University's annual Fall Convocation, Arthur H. Goldsmith, the Jackson T. Stephens Professor of Economics, issued a sobering challenge to the entering Class of 2016, while also wishing them joy and satisfaction in their college careers.
His challenge: that no member of the class would engage in an act of violence, including sexual assault, during the four years at W&L.
The title of Goldsmith's address was "Finding Your Path to a Life Well Lived," and he began by referring to the upcoming year-long interdisciplinary seminar on happiness, "Questioning the Good Life," that the University is sponsoring. Everyone, Goldsmith noted, "is jumping on the happiness bandwagon."
View Lifestream Archived Video
A conventional view in the field of happiness studies, he said, is that individuals all have a "happiness set point" established by genetics or personality. "Set-point advocates or theorists believe that following impactful events that advance or harm happiness, we tend to naturally gravitate back to our set point," he said. "Thus, given enough time, those who were victims of traumatic events early in life should be just as happy later in life as they were prior to being victimized."
Referring to research that he and colleague Tim Diette, assistant professor of economics at W&L, have recently done, Goldsmith argued this pattern does not hold in cases of "traumatic victimization," and such events may have long-term effects on individuals' happiness.
College-age students are at an especially critical juncture in this regard, Goldsmith noted. "In light of our findings indicating that exposure to violence — no matter when it occurs in the life cycle — damages mental health, happiness and life satisfaction, it is … clear that college-aged individuals everywhere have tremendous potential to harm others, derailing them as they are traveling their path to a good life."
That data is what led Goldsmith to challenge the Class of 2016 "to do something historic and in line with the principles and values espoused by our community at Washington and Lee … I ask each of you to take a moment to reflect on why this is sensible to embrace, and then to pledge that you will never engage in an act of violence while at Washington and Lee. In addition, I ask that you pledge that you will become an active bystander and will speak up or act if a troubling situation arises — no matter who the potential perpetrator might be."
Aside from that challenge, Goldsmith told the students that the important decision they would make at Washington and Lee would be what path they choose to take. "The overriding question is, 'What will you commit your energies and talents to?' " he said. "Many of the achievements and accomplishments you can visualize looking forward will entail extensive effort and absorption in the near term that will crowd out some simple pleasures. On a fundamental level, you will be asking yourself, what is the good life, and how do I derive it or position myself to experience this?"
He concluded with his wish for the students to flourish at Washington and Lee and to nurture "habits of mind and soul" that contribute to the sense that their lives are "fulfilling and meaningful."
The convocation, forced indoors because of threatening weather, opened W&L's 264th academic year and the 164th year of the School of Law. Classes in the Law School began on Aug. 27, while undergraduate classes begin Thursday, Sept. 6.

We Heart Music
Firefox AK: Heart of Mine
Firefox AK, spending her morning in New York to talk to us about...
The original Firefox is back with a new album, If I Were A Melody, to be released this month. I call her the original, because Andrea Kellerman was using that as her ...
It's been five years since Firefox AK (aka Andrea Kellerman) released Color the Trees, so we're excited to hear that she is back with a new forthcoming album in early 2017. She teased us that she will once again be collaborating on a song with her friend Annika Norlin (Hello Saferide) on the new record (the two of them previously worked together on Hello Saferide's 'Long Lost Penpal').
Why the long break? According to Kellerman, it was mostly due to the stress of trying to be successful at her record label: "I was probably naïve, but for me, who was used to the personal and loyal people at Razzia Records, it was almost shocking to all of a sudden work with people who were more concerned with sales figures than I was ever used to. In the end it took away the joy of making music."
She took a break from music to raise her family (apparently in Los Angeles!) and worked as a graphic designer after all the tour promotion for Color the Trees.
Anyway, Firefox AK's latest single and music video Heart of Mine is out now on Razzia, so she has not left the record label. The new single was produced by Claes Björklund, known for being in the duo Iamamiwhoami (with singer Jonna Lee), and the music video was directed by Mats Udd. The video has a creepy, demonic possession, vibe to it.
Sample lyrics from "Heart of Mine":
"Told you like a thousand times
This is where I wanna be
Ruffling my feathers before your eyes
Never felt this way before
Never wanted nothing more
calling out the crazy before your eyes"
We're big fans, of course. And in case you forget, we did speak with Andrea Kellerman when she first appeared at CMJ in 2008 via telephone. You can download the audio file on archive.org.

Feist is the solo project of Canada's Leslie Feist, a prolific artist who has also played in one...
Jonna Lee is originally from Stockholm, Sweden, but is currently living in London. Her debut solo album is called 10 Pieces, 10 Bruises and was released on October 10th, 2007 on Razzia Records. Supposedly she had released music when she was 16, but I couldn't find any information on her previous releases.
She wrote a full electro-influenced album prior to 10 Pieces, 10 Bruises, but then right before releasing the album in 2006, she changed her mind. You can listen to "Passerby", a demo from 2005 on her myspace page.
She then started working on brand new material with Claes Björklund (her fiancé). She wrote a song called "And Your Love" with Ed Harcourt in mind as the male singer. She sent the song to him and he loved it so much that he ended up producing and playing on most of her album.
Harcourt even invited Lee to be the opening act on his tour through Sweden and Norway, which, sadly, just ended on December 12th.
Regarding the album, I think it would've been kind of cool to have just 10 songs on the album (representing 10 Pieces/Bruises), but there is an eleventh track called "Prints" with "bonus track" written next to it. The only information about this song listed on the liner notes is that it was recorded at Ed Harcourt's house in London last August. They must've really liked this song to stick it on the album (probably at the very last minute!)
Jonna Lee - All I Want for Christmas Is You
There's some great songs on this album, including the single Dried Out Eyes and "I Wrote This Song", featuring Danny Goffey (from Supergrass[W♥M]) on drums and backup singing. It's a fun love song: "I wrote this song about you/I thought it might attract you/Sweet thing now would you like to..."
Although this might not be considered "singles" friendly, I quite like "Autumn Song", complete with its clapping. It made me miss the orange leaves of the Fall... and it's the song I've chosen.
Anyway, in a Christmas-related song theme of late, she's recorded Mariah Carey's 1994 song, "All I Want For Christmas is You", at Johan Lundgren's new large studio.[1] The song is available for download on her myspace.

Q: jest snapshot breaks with emotion 10 / babel 7 using enzyme So I had jest snapshots working properly generating css and html in the snapshots with babel 6 / emotion 9 however I need wanted to update to babel 7 and emotion 10 but my snapshot tests with enzyme no longer work. The code compiles and works fine after updating the required code, just the tests are broken (and nothing in the migration docs show anything related to testing setup updates).
test('renders properly', () => {
  // this works generating the correct css / html snapshot output
  expect(renderer.create(<component.Template>test</component.Template>).toJSON()).toMatchSnapshot();

  //this does not
  const wrapper = shallow(<component.Template>test</component.Template>);

  expect(toJson(wrapper)).toMatchSnapshot();
});

The enzyme version generates this output:
exports[`renders properly 1`] = `
<ContextConsumer>
  <Component />
</ContextConsumer>
`;

I have tried add the emotion serializer both by adding it to the snapshotSerializers in the jest configuration and manually adding it in the setupFilesAfterEnv script.
Anyone know why I would get getting this output?

A: If you have configured everything correctly just do
test('renders properly', () => {
  const wrapper = shallow(<component.Template>test</component.Template>);
  expect(wrapper).toMatchSnapshot();
});

This should work as expected.

To be in possession of an absolute truth is to have a net of familiarity spread over the whole of eternity. There are no surprises and no unknowns.
It took me 40 or 50 years, but I had it from the beginning.
The necessary premise is that a man is somehow more than his "characteristics," all the emotions, strivings, tastes and constructions which it pleases him to call "My Life." We have ground to hope that a Life is something more than a cloud of particles, mere facticity. Go through what is comprehensible and you conclude that only the incomprehensible gives any light.
A human being is a part of the whole called by us "universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.


The Real Housewives of Orange County is new tonight, Tuesday, June 19th @ 9/8c (only on Bravo)! And PETA needs to be alerted about Vicky Gunvalson and Brooks Ayers.
In the Season Finale: Part 1, roles are reversed as Brooks spoils Vicky with a new mink coat. The ladies also face Alexis for the first time since she stormed out of Costa Rica early. Ex-housewife Jeana returns at Heather's party, but surprisingly isn't the source of the main conflict (for once!) Who would have guessed eating cake could cause spark such an uproar?
Vintage fur is not even cool, let alone brand new fur coats. We can only hope Vicky chastised him and returned it immediately.

Mold Found in Seattle Hospital ORs Leads to 1 Death, 5 Infections
July 3, 2019	 ‐ PSQH
Seattle Children's hospital said this week one patient died and five others have been infected by mold that forced the closure of all of the facility's main operating rooms, according to the Seattle Times.
The hospital revealed the information to the Times in its response to questions about the closures of four ORs on its main campus on May 18 because of the presence of Aspergillus mold and the remaining 10 ORs on May 24.
Seattle Children's says the ORs have been infested by mold at different points in the past year, possibly due to problems with the ORs' air handling and purification systems, the Times reports. Three patients were infected last year and three in 2019, a hospital spokesperson told the paper. The patient who died developed the infection in 2018.
The Times reports that CMS sent a letter on June 20 informing the hospital that it was out of compliance because of the OR mold problem, adding that CMS will terminate Seattle Children's Medicare provider agreement on September 19.
About 1,000 surgeries have been postponed, with other surgeries moved to the cardiac catheterization facility on the hospital's main campus in Seattle and its Bellevue campus. Most surgeries have been moved to other hospitals in the Seattle area.


Today was a therapy day.
This past weekend was a holiday. We spent a lot of it with our families.
For some reason, some combination of things left me feeling triggered. Alone. Used. Lonely. Sad. Angry.
So, I went to therapy. Wendy asked what I wanted to do in our session. I hate this question. I get paralyzed and don't know how to answer.
Do I work with the horse?
Do I ride her? Do I stand beside her?
What's my goal? What should my goal be?
What does Wendy want me to do?
What does Daisy (the horse) want me to do?
I finally said I just wanted to walk with Daisy - lead her on her lead rope and see where we go from there.
So, I started into the arena with Daisy nicely walking behind me. As soon as we got inside the arena, she put her nose down and drug me around.
I knew what Wendy was thinking. I was thinking the same thing.
Because I don't express what I want, I get pushed and pulled around.
And I am so tired of being pulled around.
Wendy told me to connect with Daisy. Spend a minute breathing and getting together and try again.
This time, Daisy walked behind me and pushed me with her nose.
I realized I was not present nor connected to my own body, so I stopped. Took a breath. Concentrated on my feet, my legs, my arms, my hands, and finally my core, and then I just wanted to cry.
So, we pulled up a couple of jumping blocks, sat down, and I cried.
No one knew I was caught up in a trauma reaction that was leaving me feeling empty, alone and used. I was doing it entirely to myself - because that's how I used to live. For whatever reason, I got trapped in the automatic reactions before I ever had a chance to think about it. I just did it, and that is also what I did when I was being used and abused.
In the same way Daisy can act as a mirror to show me how I live the rest of my life. My interactions with people over the weekend showed me how I used to be. It gave me the chance to feel the sadness and anger over the past.
We talked about how if I don't know what I want, the only option left is what others want. I will feel taken advantage of even if that is not what others want. They have no choice if I don't know and/or don't express my wants or needs in the relationships.
I felt tired. How exhausting to have to think about, and then ask for what I need all the time.
But... What if I went through the exhaustion of thinking and asking, and it worked?
Wendy asked me to try. Pick something I wanted with (or from) Daisy, and then communicate to her what I wanted. It took me way too long to think of something, and then suddenly, I had a plan in my head.
Without thinking, we walked to specific points in the arena. I wanted her to stop when I stopped. When she didn't, I asked her to back up. I used the lead rope. I used my voice. I used my body language. She listened. By the time we got back to where Wendy was waiting, Daisy stopped when I stopped. She didn't push or pull me, we just walked together.
That was the most assertive I have ever been with Daisy. And the most calm I have ever felt working with her.
By the end of the session, I didn't feel as tired or as sad as I felt at the beginning. I felt energized and empowered.
So much about this really hits home for me. I know this about myself and I still struggle with it a lot. I'm so glad you write your experiences, I love reading them and I don't feel so isolated knowing I'm not alone in this. After several months of keeping to myself, I decided I need more and and tried to make an effort to ask for things I want, and with that, all the anxiety and fear came flooding back. I know this sounds totally corny, but as I sit here typing this tears are running down my face. Sure every time it gets better, I get more awareness, confidence, self-love, but it's still at times overwhelming.
"Because I don't express what I want, I get pushed and pulled around.
And I am so tired of being pulled around."
"We talked about how if I don't know what I want, the only option left is what others want. I will feel taken advantage of even if that is not what others want. They have no choice if I don't know and/or don't express my wants or needs in the relationships."
This really resonates with me. For a long time, I often agreed with people with whatever they suggested, even if I didn't want to, because it made me feel unsafe to go against their wishes. So for me, it started with voicing my opinion about small matters such as which movie to see or which game to play. It was a bit scary sometimes, but simply stating my own preference felt so good, like my opinion did matter after all. And even if my choice didn't win, I wasn't as frustrated about it because I had at least made myself be heard.
It's so true that just voicing my thoughts makes me feel better - it doesn't matter if anyone else listens, it just feels better that I listened to me. I'm pretty lucky - in that most of the time I voice my opinions and my thoughts, people around me get excited to hear from me and respond very positively.

Shaft, Cardi B's former manager, is suing her for "no less than 10 million" dollars for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and defamation, among other things, according to court documents.
Court documents obtained show that Shaft claims Cardi "falsely communicat[ed]" to her fiancé Offset and members of her entourage that "'Shaft is robbing me.'" The suit also claims that before meeting Shaft, Cardi B had about 100,000 Instagram followers and had not rapped or performed music. Shaft then made Cardi B a "party host," traveling the country with DJ Self, who Shaft also discovered, which paved the way for her appearance on Love & Hip Hop.

MUBIVIEWS: LA RUPTURE [day one]
This week, our writers were once again confronted with the task of discussing a film that resides outside the norms of film criticism. The bizarre and at often times difficult to watch LA RUPTURE (Claude Chabrol 1970) creates a hectic, drug-addled experience from start to finish which only increases in confusion as the rules of cinematic editing are loosened throughout its running time. The chaos that ensues will no doubt allow room for an stimulating debate with our writers.
RUPTURING THE SENSES
STEVEN FEGAN
LA RUPTURE (Claude Chabrol 1970) begins with a rattle of the senses, living up to its namesake as it subverts the conventions of a slow-burn set-up to the story and instead introduces two of its primary characters in a spectacularly sudden incident. However, before this, the film opens with the foreboding words: "What utter darkness suddenly surrounds me?" spoken by French dramatist Jean Racine who was known for combining elements of comedy and tragedy. These words have instant connotations of unexpectedness and subversion from conventional modes of storytelling as the opening scene plays out and, in hindsight, acts as a warning for the viewer. They also attest to the overall theme of surprise and suspense throughout the film where there is rarely any warning or exposition as to the fate of these characters.
We are introduced to our main protagonist Hélène (Stéphane Audran), as she prepares her son's breakfast. Her husband Charles (Jean-Claude Drouot) stumbles out from another room and without warning or incitement, assaults his wife and subsequently their son (Laurent Brunschwick). This startling event, both for Hélène and the audience, immediately fractures the subtle introduction previously set up to provide an unpredictable series of events that later unfold. The tenacious start to the film immediately poses several questions to the spectator as there is no explanation for Charles' actions. But before the audience can even begin to speculate the reasons for his sudden burst of violence against his wife, he lifts his son into the air and throws him against a nearby table. At this point, the film surpasses questions of domestic abuse and instead invites the audience to question the unpredictable direction of the film itself.
LA RUPTURE sets out to do exactly what its title suggests: rupture the conventions of story set-up and defy the expectations of its audience to provide a fresh and unexpected thriller that never truly explains itself, a trademark style that Chabrol utilised throughout his career. In doing so, it maintains the suddenness and confusion that a breach of any kind usually presents.
Every day this week a different writer will provide their perspective on our MUBIVIEWS film and each post will be open to comments from our readers. Watch LA RUPTURE on mubi.com until 5 May 2017 and join the discussion!
MUBIVIEWS: SILENCE [day three]
This week, our writers discuss a film that speaks quietly to its audience and requires the recognition of the quiet intensity of the narrative. SILENCE (Pat Collins 2012) is about a sound recordist, Eoghan (Eoghan Mac Giolla Bhride), who returns to Ireland after 15 years of living in Germany to record areas free of man-made sound. During his quest, he is influenced by folklore and a series of challenging encounters that reflect the intangible silence of his childhood. The film celebrates the beautifully poetic landscape of Ireland and the stories it has to tell.
TALKING IN SILENCE
MATTHEW WEARS
Contrary to what the title would suggest, SILENCE (Pat Collins 2012) is a film in which sound plays an equally important role as to its absence. Although the film follows the brooding Eoghan (played by co-writer, Eoghan Mac Giolla Bhride) and his quest for quiet, it is through dialogue that the secrets to this film are unlocked. Seemingly random encounters occur throughout this pensive piece of filmmaking and the conversations had during these moments act as our guide through the often ambiguous narrative.
This is an extremely personal film and with each new character a new concept or snippet of information is unveiled. These interactions allow for Eoghan's conscience to slowly be exposed as well as allowing us to delve deeper into his memories. The information gives the audience a framework to better understand the film. This is explicitly demonstrated in the scene in which Eoghan joins a local man for a drink in his mother's house. Together, they talk of philosophical theories which re-contextualise what silence could actually represent. Here, it is perceived as a concept achievable only prior to birth or after death. It is perhaps the most crucial scene in the film, allowing the audience to view silence as something other than an objective of tranquillity. It can also be seen as devoid of any life or existence.
The conversation that takes place is extremely free-flowing and natural, making it hard to determine where "documentary" ends, and "drama" begins. SILENCE is a film that requires the utmost attention to the dialogue and themes being discussed in order to interpret the narrative. Without these pivotal pieces of information, the film becomes nothing more than an assortment of bleak images, perhaps only fully understood by the writer himself. The brief exchanges throughout act as the glue to produce a coherent, thought-provoking film.
Every day this week a different writer will provide their perspective on our MUBIVIEWS film and each post will be open to comments from our readers. Watch SILENCE on mubi.com until 26 April 2017 and join the discussion!

Swtor next expansion for The Old Republic's
This is the second expansion to The Old Republic. BioWare released Rise of the Hutt Cartel in April. It raised the level cap to 55. The developer first sold it for $20 and $10 for subscribers. It is now a free update for all players.
The Old Republic premium subscribers will get Galactic Starfighter on Dec. 3. Those players will also get exclusive skins for their ships, suits for their pilots, and leveling benefits. Preferred Status players (those who have spent money in The Old Republic) will get the expansion on Jan. 14. Everyone else will get it on Feb. 4.
This story takes place in the Star Wars fictional universe shortly after the establishment of a tenuous peace between the re-emergent Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic, 300 years after the events of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic games, and more than 3,500 years before the events in the Star Wars films. The Jedi are held responsible for the success of the Sith during the devastating 28-year-long Great Galactic War (which led to the Treaty of Coruscant prior to the "cold war"), and thus choose to relocate from Coruscant to Tython, where the Jedi Order had initially been founded, to seek guidance from the Force. The Sith control Korriban, where they have re-established a Sith Academy. The game's "Return" cinematic trailer depicts the events where Korriban is re-conquered by the Sith. During these events, a smuggler named Nico Okarr is being led to his prison cell in a jail orbiting Korriban by a Jedi, Satele Shan, and her master, Kao Cen Darach. Suddenly, a Sith named Darth Malgus, who serves as the main antagonist, and his master Vindican, along with several Sith troops, attack the base. Satele, a trooper named Jace Malcom, and Okarr escape the attack, but Darach is cut down by Malgus. Malgus then kills Vindican, who was wounded by Darach. 10 years later, new conflicts have arisen. In the "Hope" cinematic trailer, Satele and some troops destroy a Sith party that includes Malgus, and Malcom, who has become the troop's commander, states that, despite the losses, there is still hope amongst even "a single spark of courage". Later in the "Deceived" cinematic trailer, however, Malgus, having appeared to survived the earlier attack albeit with a mask covering his nose and mouth, leads an army of Sith into the Jedi temple at Coruscant, killing many Jedi including the Jedi Grand Master Ven Zallow. Satele is later named the Grand Master.

SWTOR Trick or Treat Edition
Of particular interest to me in these patch notes are things like removing the rating requirement from all PVP items, the Basic Gear vendors on fleet selling Makeb rep items, and Achievements for boss kills crediting correctly for people in the group. One of the biggest bugfixes that affects my daily SWTOR life is the Quick Travel terminals listed in the first line item. That had been driving me utterly batty since that bug started. Batty, get it? (Hey, if they can get away with the TRK-R Treatment Chamber pun, I'm running with my batty one!)
In more serious news, the Cartel Market section of the notes also mention a trio of dyes available for either 1000 or 600 cartel coins, and while players were eager to see the black/black and white/white to reappear, the black/white and white/black often go for a lot on the Galactic Trade Network, so this is a good tradeoff. Although, given the holiday season, it would have been nice to see more Halloween-colored dyes out there. The orange/green and black/orange are nice dyes already out there, but only as random drops from cartel packs.
The only thing that made me arch a brow in the patch notes was the note about a major Consular story quest that was bugged. I understand the need to advise that the bug was fixed, and the minefield that is trying to do so without spoiling the plot (which some folks have already commented unhappily about on the forums). However, as much as I would have liked to have avoided the spoiler myself because I haven't gotten that far in the story on any of my Consular characters, I have to also acknowledge that it's nearly two years since launch. It would be like an acquaintance of mine throwing a tantrum because someone talked about Dumbledore's death right before seeing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince… when the book version had been out for three years already at the time of the complaint. It's not the other person's fault he didn't read the book.
Swtor Guild of Don'ts
The majority of guilds, particularly insurance coverage raid, have a summary of essential AddOns. This could include things similar to Playerscore, Omen, Lingering Boss Mod in conjunction with recount. If the great news is record, make sure an individual download whatever's with WoW gold from guild. It's there for ones reason and is seen as a requirement; similarly make sure you have a doing work headset and mic. Whatever one does, don't spam Recount unless asked due to the raid leader, there's nothing extra annoying and make sure you do it throughout raid chat furthermore.
Most guilds have a guild bank, Have a peek but don't continue pilfering stuff. Should you decide see something you could us, ask initially, even if it's originating from a tab you can certainly access. Also, perhaps a good considered to deposit some gold being a token gesture whenever you make any withdrawal. If it's possible to transmute gems as well as make glyphs, then perhaps a good idea that will put some in here and there or offer them towards your guildmates. When all the way through doubt, ask if it's alright to consider something.
There are some subjects you should definitely leave out affecting guild chat as well as vent – at least until you familiarize yourself with people. Matters just like religion, politics, Moonguard, furries, sex and personal stuff is more preferable off being fended out of. Nothing kills the particular mood faster than as the guildie asks passed away someone has approved Jesus as your personal personal savior. Of program, most guilds? which include mine – actively ignore that surgery, these topics will be all we ever before consider. That claimed, I've been during my guild for a variety of years and we're not merely guildmates, we're real-life close friends also.

SWTOR the Darkmoon Faire
The questionnaire conducted within coordination having Peanut Labs advised that more than half involving current World of Warcraft players have grown tired in the game. Researchers polled 381 on the internet customers in addition to found of WoW gold which 50% want to buy Movie Star Wars: The Old Republic as well as another 38% spoken to interest.
Implementing other research data, including other level of competition, Lazard Budget Markets worked out that World of warcraft could shed between nine hundred, 000 as well as 1.5 a dozen million readers following that launch associated with Star Battles: The Outdated Republic, which can be slated with regard to release at December 20 th.
But as everyone believes, studies as well as online gaming might be hit in addition to miss when it comes to where players will gravitate. And if you have one matter we've learned over the years it is usually that the MMOG market is definitely in flux. World associated with Warcraft is king in the hill for years and they've managed to achieve back a bundle of players that they've dropped during that time to numerous competition and now and again even achieve ground our site of Vcsale. The concern now is definitely – the amount longer may they stay in the top with the hill?
Swtor Factions and Specializations
The Imperial Agent class is a hands-on everything that can use both ranged abilities and melee. He also has a variety of capacities to choose from. While the imperial agent seems tame, specializations do a lot more interesting and cheap swtor credits in the game. The procedure is another hybrid class that has a healing talent tree talent tree and a rogue-like (stealth and melee). The Sniper, on the other as described – a user long-range rifle with two talent trees dedicated to ranged DPS.
This class is oriented with a few melee abilities force, including a boomerang sword toss (no joke). There are two specializations: Guardian and Sentinel. Guardian is a defensive class that can tank and deal damage and heavy armor and buy swtor credits in the game. The Sentinel has two swords and is all about offense, and has two talent trees dedicated to this task. Jedi Knight Class the most popular by far is on this list SWTOR class, if it is only for aesthetics.
The character is a Jedi Consular hybrid powder / Jedi. It uses a light saber, but also has some strength-related capabilities as well. This class has two specialties SWTOR: Sage and shade. The Sage can be either a force-using melee / caster damage dealer or healer while the shadow could become either a tank or a DPS class. The Sith Empire has four classes and announced to date: Imperial Agent, Bounty Hunter, Sith Warrior, Sith and Inquisitor.
SWTOR Group Quests for Series
During the meeting, two waves, each wave containing a boss, broke into the room with tons of back-up. The Trooper Class "tanks" the boss, confronts the Jedi Knight adds, the smuggler help deal damage to all targets, and the Jedi Consular heals the group and buy swtor credits in the game. In SWTOR, the series of group quests and combat in general supports this style epic. A developer has released game play video shows the epic SWTOR showing a group of four players take a "boss" encounters.
There are two specializations: Sorcerer and the Assassin. The wizard seems to be the only class of conventional casting in the game because he can sit back and lots of channels Force Lightning and not need to use the light saber at all and swtor credits for sale in the game. It also has a healing talent tree. The Sith Inquisitor specializes in using the dark side of force and the class that obtains access to the Force lightning capabilities.
A talent tree focuses on one-DPS melee class with stealthy steps, while the other talent tree focuses on tanking. What you see in the list above is just what is being announced and swtor power leveling in the game. However, given the available specializations within each class SWTOR, I do not count on seeing the classes, or before the release. The killer on the other hand uses a double bladed light saber and use force lightning to charge his attacks.
SWTOR Bruce Maclean of Update
As Thanksgiving Season approaches, you are at the top of our list of things we are thankful for. We receive a lot of support from you, the players, and it's really because of you that we are able to continue development on this game we love so much. We'd like to show a tiny measure of that thanks with a Double XP weekend starting November 27th and continuing through Thanksgiving Weekend until December 2nd.
The no-longer-super-secret space project has been revealed at last! We are working hard to bring you the Galactic Starfighter™ free Digital Expansion in February, but on December 3rd we are planning to open it up to Subscribers with Game Update 2.5: Galactic Starfighter Subscriber Early Access. Also in Game Update 2.5 we'll have continued class balance updates and an all new PvP Warzone Arena, the Makeb Mesa Arena.
We will have individual blogs and updates on each and every one of the above items, stay tuned to SWTOR.com and these forums for updates! This isn't an exhaustive list, and we are also working on some (very exciting) longer term stuff and some shorter term surprises we aren't ready to cough up just yet. As always the dates listed above are the dates the teams are shooting for, and though we are working very hard and feel like we can hit them there is always a chance something will have to slip if it's not ready. I'll let you know as soon as we know if that happens.
We here at BioWare would like to say thank you for your continued support. I was going to say 'keep your feedback coming', but I don't think you need the encouragement – you're a vocal lot! But we love to hear it, and we wouldn't rather have any other community than you. See you in game!
Swtor Character Name Renewal
The "Character Name Renewal" program will take place in November and, according to a newsletter from BioWare, will "offer [players] the benefit of more character names" to choose from in the future. "We are currently in the process of identifying accounts that have been inactive for prolonged periods," said BioWare. "If those accounts do not login to each of the potentially impacted characters within the required timeframe the attached Character names will be released back into the general pool."
The Renewal program will have no effect on Subscribers or characters that are in active play. "[Subscribers] will keep [their] names throughout this process and benefit from the increased options released back into the pool post program," said BioWare.
Swtor Hyperspace Beacon
In the video games industry, like many industries on the cusp of technology and innovation, competition is high, as are the stakes. And developers like BioWare want to keep its latest creations like the next expansion for SWTOR under tight control to supposedly prevent the competition from stealing its secrets and creating a game just like it. I'm not so sure that makes a lot of sense. In fact, I've found that most of the reasons behind a beta NDA don't hold true when it comes to the next expansion for SWTOR. Here are the top four myths that I hear from those who support an NDA.
You want to know how to get viewers to your livestream and get yourself banned by BioWare all in one stroke? Film the beta for Star Wars: The Old Republic Galactic Starfighter! However, like the many who have leaked information about upcoming games, I have wondered why there is an NDA on these things in the first place. What is lost by companies allowing players to stream or talk about closed beta tests, and what is gained by company by keeping some things under wraps?
Swtor free-to-play characters
If you're a free-to-play or preferred status player, this does mean you're at some risk of losing your name. Characters below level 10 who haven't been played in 60 (free) or 90 (preferred) days will need to be renamed, as will characters below level 30 who haven't been played in 120 (free) or 180 (preferred) days. Characters 30 and above will be exempt across the board, as will all characters of subscribers. So you might be able to get your desired character name back! Or you'll find out that Xylophone is actually a level 31 Juggernaut, which is still kind of neat.
There's nothing wrong with getting a desired character name because you were the first person to create a character with that name on a given server. But it does kind of smart if you're a Star Wars: The Old Republic subscriber with a burning desire to use the name "Xylophone" but can't, especially if that name was just snapped up by a free-to-play character who hasn't even made it off of Tython. It's with that in mind that the game is instituting a series of name releases for free-to-play and preferred status players.

Q: How to remove the repeated consecutive elements in dynamic array in systemverilog? module tb;

  bit [7:0] bytes [];
  bit [7:0] q[$];

  initial begin
    bytes = new[20];
    bytes[0] = 8'hee;
    bytes[1] = 8'hea;
    bytes[2] = 8'haf;
    bytes[3] = 8'haf;
    bytes[4] = 8'haf;
    bytes[5] = 8'h50;
    bytes[6] = 8'h6a;
    bytes[7] = 8'h0d;
    bytes[8] = 8'hc8;
    bytes[9] = 8'hc8;
    bytes[10] = 8'h21;
    foreach(bytes[i])
      $write("%h ", bytes[i]);
    $display("\n");
    q = bytes.unique();
    foreach(q[i])
      $write("%h ", q[i]);
  end
endmodule

In the above code, I need to remove the consecutive duplicate elements (only the consecutive duplicate elements) of the dynamic array called bytes and put them in a queue called q. Also, I need to remove all the trailing 0's. I tried using unique(), but what I get is something different.
Expected output:
ee ea af af af 50 6a 0d c8 c8 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

ee ea af 50 6a 0d c8 21

Output I am getting on QuestaSim on edaplayground
ee ea af af af 50 6a 0d c8 c8 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

00 0d 21 50 6a af c8 ea ee

More information:
Once it's 0, it cannot have more duplicates. Since it's a dynamic array created by reading the data values on DUT interface, last value read is the 0 and that remains at 0 unless new data.
Since its duplication is only due to the current data being held on the output interface (following some arbitartion priority, waiting for few cycles for next priority port data). and the data is constraint randomized to have unique values (data which is input to DUT).
eg. I send a,b,c,d on the input on port 3 and port 3 waits for few cycles to check is any other port is requested, hence the output may be something like a bbb cc d ( 3 cycle for b and 2 cycle for c) and the dynamic array reads this output. Removing the duplicated items is so as to compare the input and output equivalence in Scoreboard.

A: You can loop through the original array and only add items to the new queue when consecutive items do not match.  This also removes the trailing 00.
module tb;

  bit [7:0] bytes [];
  bit [7:0] q[$];

initial begin
    bytes = new[20];
    bytes[0] = 8'hee;
    bytes[1] = 8'hea;
    bytes[2] = 8'haf;
    bytes[3] = 8'haf;
    bytes[4] = 8'haf;
    bytes[5] = 8'h50;
    bytes[6] = 8'h6a;
    bytes[7] = 8'h0d;
    bytes[8] = 8'hc8;
    bytes[9] = 8'hc8;
    bytes[10] = 8'h21;

    $display;
    foreach (bytes[i]) $write("%h ", bytes[i]);
    $display;

    q[0] = bytes[0];
    for (int i=1; i<bytes.size(); i++) begin
        if (bytes[i] != bytes[i-1]) q.push_back(bytes[i]);
    end
    if (q[$] == 0) void'(q.pop_back());

    foreach (q[i]) $write("%h ", q[i]);
    $display;
    $display;
end

endmodule

This outputs:
ee ea af af af 50 6a 0d c8 c8 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
ee ea af 50 6a 0d c8 21

Here is a demonstration on edaplayground.

Regarding the unique array method, the IEEE Std 1800-2017, section 7.12.1 Array locator methods, states:

The ordering of the returned elements is unrelated to the ordering of
the original array.

Perhaps that means that the resulting order can't be guaranteed.  With your code, we get mixed results on different simulators on edaplayground (original code in Question); some produce your desired output order, while others do not.

A: It seems like the order of the elements in the queue which is returned by the unique method is not defined. So, how about changing your queue to be a queue of ints:
int q[$];

and then using unique_index:
q = bytes.unique_index();

and then using the sort method on that:
q.sort();

Then the order is defined, whatever simulator you use. (And it is better to write code that works on any simulator). So, we now have a queue of indexes, which we can use to index the original array (byte):
foreach(q[i])
   $write("%h ", bytes[q[i]]);

This gives me this output (on Aldec Riviera Pro):
ee ea af af af 50 6a 0d c8 c8 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

ee ea af 50 6a 0d c8 21 00

In this code, using for loops comparing the next value with the current value. if current value is same as next value , the current value will be skipped and next value will be assigned to current value .after replace, reduce the iterator by 1,so that it will  be in current position.

Q: $\int_{A-x} f(y) \lambda(dy) = \int_A f(y-x) \lambda(dy)$ Let $f: \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}$ be measurable and Lebesgue-integrable. Let $A \in \mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ a Borel set:
I want to show that:
$$\int_{A-x} f(y)  \lambda(dy) = \int_A f(y-x) \lambda(dy) $$
Here is my attempt:
Let $f = I_B$ where $B$ is Borel set be an indicator function. Then
$$\int_{A-x} f(y) \lambda(dy) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} I_{B \cap (A-x)}(y) \lambda(dy)= \lambda(B\cap (A-x))$$
$$\int_A f(y-x) \lambda(dy) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^d}I_{A \cap B}(y-x) \lambda(dy) = \lambda((A\cap B)+x)$$
Are these two equal? I know that $\lambda(C +x) = \lambda(C)$.
If I showed it for indicator functions, it also holds for sums of indicatorfunctions. By monotone convergence theorem, it is also true for positive functions and then we can lift this to arbitrary integrable functions by writing such a function as the difference of two positive functions.

A: When $f=I_B$ we have $\int_A f(y-x)\lambda (dy)=\int_{\mathbb R^{d}} I_A(y)I_B(y-x)\lambda (dy)$, and not what you have written. The value of this integral is $\lambda ( A\cap (x+B))$ because $y-x \in B$ iff $y \in x+B$. But $\lambda ( A\cap (x+B))=\lambda ((A-x) \cap B)$ by translation invariance of Lebesgue measure.
So the desired equality holds when $f=I_B$, hence for simple functions and then for non-negative measurable functions by Monotone Convergence Theorem. Finally it holds for integrable $f$ by considering $f^{+}$ and $f^{-}$.

Thales has achieved delivery of the first of three maritime surveillance aircraft under the Meltem II programme for Turkey. This aircraft will be operated by the Turkish Coast Guard from Izmir Air Base. Pierre Eric Pommellet, Senior Vice-President of Thales Group, officially handed over the aircraft at a ceremony held at the Turkish Aerospace Industry (TAI) facility in Ankara. The official hand-over was presided by Turkish Minister of Interior, Mr Idris Naim Sahin, who thanked all contributors to the programme and its main contractor Thales for "delivering a state-of-the-art aircraft which will enable the Turkish Coast Guards to perform their surveillance duty up to 120 miles from the coast".
Designed around a latest-generation integrated tactical command system, the AMASCOS solution ties together multiple sensors – radar, FLIR, ESM, acoustic system, AIS, MAD, SLAR radar, IR/UV scanner – to detect, identify and track threats, maintain real-time tactical situation awareness, manage NATO and national tactical datalinks and deploy onboard weapon systems.
The ceremony was also attended by the Undersecretary for Defence Industries (SSM), the Turkish Coast Guards Chief Admiral, and the Turkish Coast Guard Izmir Air-base Commander. The French Ambassador to Turkey also attended the ceremony with a representative of the French defence procurement agency (DGA), as well as the General Managers of TAI, Havelsan, Aselsan and Milsoft, the Turkish companies involved in the programme.
This marks the delivery of the first maritime surveillance aircraft equipped with the Thales AMASCOS mission system, which will provide the Turkish Coast Guards with an enhanced capability to better monitor the Turkish Exclusive Economic Zone and Territorial Waters.
» Search and rescue operations.
Thales is the prime contractor for the Meltem II programme, which calls for the delivery of six maritime patrol aircraft for the Turkish Navy and three maritime surveillance aircraft for the Turkish Coast Guard, all based on modified CASA CN-235 platforms. The programme also includes the provision of additional maritime patrol systems to the Turkish Navy, to be integrated on ATR 72 aircraft. All mission systems are based on Thales's AMASCOS solution (Airborne Maritime Situation & Control System).
This success marks a new major milestone in the Meltem II programme, and follows the delivery of four maritime patrol aircraft (initial standard) to the Turkish Navy during the first semester of 2012. This is further testament to the maturity of the AMASCOS solution and further consolidates Thales's market leadership in maritime surveillance and patrol systems.
The programme represents the latest validation of Thales's position as a world-class systems supplier and integrator offering a broad spectrum of mission critical systems, able to meet specific requirements of both armed forces and civilian protection agencies from across the world.


This projects journey first began with Jon-Michael Degidio at the University of Floridas Tropical Aquaculture Lab back in 2013. However, the species couldnt get past 44th day post-hatch until Oceanic Institutes intern Avier J. Montalvo had his first successful run back in March. Montalvo overcame the challenges of getting the larvae to eat and the increased mortality past 40 days post-hatch, where previously, by day 60 there was a single survivor. Now Quality Marine has healthy, successfully captive-bred juvenile specimens.


I accepted my last review book ten months ago and have remained commitment-free ever since.
I didn't join any challenges in 2016, not even the goodreads challenge. No more avoiding long books!
I joined fewer events and readalongs, carefully selecting those that truly interested me.
I wrote fewer book reviews, opting instead for shorter 'book briefs'.
I mostly read what I wanted, when I wanted... free-range reading!
Nonfiction is down slightly from last year, but I'm still happy with 30%.
Litsy... have you joined yet?
I don't anticipate any major changes at Lakeside Musing... more free-range reading, readalongs with friends, blogging events, and continued bookish chatter.
Thank you for reading and talking about books with me this year.
It's finally time to say good-bye to 2016... and I am more than ready to move on! As for reading, it's been a fairly average year in both quantity and quality. There were no stand-out reading experiences like last year's "Trolloping with friends" through the Chronicles of Barsetshire, though there were plenty of great books and a few memorable readalongs.
Here are my favorite books read in 2016. Of course, they were not all published this year. An asterisk denotes a read/listen combination. You know how much I love alternating between print and audio, especially with nonfiction.
Ann Patchett keeps getting better and better!
Why did it take me so long to read Ms. Umrigar? So many of you have raved about her for ages. I'll try The Space Between Us next.
My favorite nonfiction read of 2016...here's my book brief.
Which authors have you discovered this year?
The complete schedule for #AMonthfFaves2016 is here.
#AMonthofFaves is back! It's taken me nearly half the month to figure that out, but better late than never, right? Andi, Tanya Patrice, and Tamara are rotating the daily hosting duties once again. The best part of this event (besides reading all the posts, of course) is that it's perfectly fine to come and go... play along one day or every day, whatever fits your schedule. The complete schedule is here.
This is a 2016 must read that I just couldn't get to in time. I only managed to read one chapter before the library book was due, but it was amazing. Hopefully Santa will bring me a copy for Christmas.
This book is waiting for me in Florida! Towles' debut, Rules of Civility, was a favorite a few years ago and I can't wait to dive into his new novel.
I had so much fun reading the Barsetshire novels with Audrey and a few others last year, that we've decided to test the waters for a #PalliserParty! I'm not committing to the entire series just yet, but plan to begin this first book in mid-January.
My daughter is reading this now and will bring her copy home for me at Christmas. It sounds like a book I'll love.
I'm not going to forget about nonfiction just because November is over. This book has been on my wish list for a long time, but now I own both the ebook and audiobook (thanks to those daily deals!) and am ready to go.
What books are on your winter reading list?
Hello again! After experiencing an early island-style Christmas, we are back in the Great White North and ready to begin preparation for our more traditional celebration. We enjoyed nearly a week of sunshine and gulf breezes, but now it seems a little harder to face the windchill and snow squalls. Sigh.
This masterfully crafted story about a blended family was a real pleasure to read.
Ann Patchett has done it again!
I read most of this on the flight home last night, then finished the last few chapters this morning. It felt like I was living within the pages! This novel features one of the most unusual premises I've come across... book clubs will find much to discuss here.
I will try to post mini-reviews of both books (and several others) this week. I've fallen behind again!
I picked this up recently as a kindle deal and read the first 10% on Friday. Very intriguing and a little creepy, too... but do I really want to read a psychological thriller so close to Christmas?
I swore off Amy Tan several years ago when her books started to become indistinguishable from one another, but this is a book club selection. The blurb doesn't sound all that appealing and I'm not sure I can finish it before the meeting next week anyway. It sounds like I'm trying to talk myself out of this one... Have you read it? What did you think?

Kang, Korda looking for good health as LPGA kicks off season
JEFF BABINEAU
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A year ago, it took mental toughness for Danielle Kang to get across the finish line to win the LPGA's season-opening Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions.
The conditions were unseasonably cold and breezy, and Kang was ready for everything that came her way. Mental toughness would come in handy later in her season, too, as Kang dealt with a spine on her tumor that kept her out of golf for...
The conditions were unseasonably cold and breezy, and Kang was ready for everything that came her way. Mental toughness would come in handy later in her season, too, as Kang dealt with a spine on her tumor that kept her out of golf for three months.
Likewise, Nelly Korda experienced a 2022 season that at times featured golf in her life and at times did not. Korda, who started last year at No. 1 in the women's world ranking, had surgery to alleviate a blood clot in a subclavian vein that formed in her left arm.
Coming off a monster 2021 season — four victories, her first major, the No. 1 ranking and an Olympic gold medal in Tokyo — the 24-year-old American spent four months on the sideline early in 2022. She returned in June, struggling to find a rhythm before winning the Pelican Women's Championship in November an hour up the road from her home in Bradenton.
Kang and Korda are looking for fresh beginnings and good health as the 2023 season starts anew at Lake Nona on a well-manicured golf course in a rare format.
The 29 LPGA players in the field, all tournament winners from the past two seasons, will play for a purse of $1.5 million in this no-cut 72-hole event. The pros are joined by 56 celebrities and athletes from other sports who compete for their own purse of $500,000.
That leads to a first-round grouping on Thursday featuring LPGA player Marina Alex, former NFL receiver Victor Cruz and Larry the Cable Guy. Former MLB pitcher Derek Lowe won the celebrity division in 2022, defeating Lake Nona resident Annika Sorenstam (competing as a celebrity) in a playoff.
Kang said Wednesday that thinking back to her 2022 TOC victory leads her to reflect more on her disappointing 2021 season — she went winless — than looking to what was ahead of her, when a tumor was detected on her spine. It led her on an emotional journey and inspired her to do some things in the offseason that took her away from golf. She went on safari in Kenya, finding the awe upon being charged by a rhino.
"Where I'm at is I just don't want to be known as a player that's injured or was injured, so I kind of want to move forward with it," said Kang, 30, a six-time winner on the LPGA. "I feel good. I've hit low points. I don't think we … this isn't a therapy session, so I'm not going to go right into that.
"I feel good. I learned a lot of things. I think only people that struggle in whatever it is, it's all relative. You just got to find out why you're going through what you're going through. All I can tell people is they can make it out and figure it out and use it to their advantage."
Korda, who also owns a victory at Lake Nona (2021 Gainbridge LPGA), played late into the year and did not have much of an offseason. She took only one week off from playing and one week off from the gym. Korda said fitness will be a big focus for her this season, wanting to avoid the fatigue and burnout that can accompany a long season.
In addition to playing the QBE Shootout in Naples as one of two women in the field and the PNC Championship with her father, Petr Korda, she spent her time "off" testing new equipment. She signed a deal with TaylorMade. She also signed a deal making her a Nike athlete, wearing the company's clothes, which fulfills a childhood dream of hers.
Korda played three events in Florida to start 2022, then did not play again until the U.S. Women's Open in early June. The time away made her think about how fortunate she is to do what she does for a living, and how much she truly enjoys it.
"I think I was just a little bit more grateful to be playing, to be traveling, to be doing what I love," said Korda, at No. 2 the highest-ranked player at Lake Nona.
"Obviously, appreciation grows when it's taken away from you in that sense, so for sure I think I've just grown to appreciate it a little bit more," she said. "Just simple things of getting to go on the range, and hit some balls, hit some putts and traveling."
And, of course, get back to winning.
