Background/Aims: Antibodies to Saccharomyces cerevisiae are associated with Crohn's disease. The aim of this study was to assess the sensitivity and specificity of antibodies to Saccharomyces cerevisiae for Crohn's disease in an Italian population and to evaluate their clinical role. Methodology: Antibodies to Saccharomyces cerevisiae serum levels were assessed in 72 inflammatory bowel disease patients (30 Crohn's disease; 42 ulcerative colitis) and 35 age-matched controls. Patients were divided into subgroups on the basis of disease behavior and clinical feature were evaluated. Results: Antibodies to Saccharomyces cerevisiae sensitivity and specificity for Crohn's disease patients were 50% (31-68) and 91% (77-98), for IgG and 56% (37-64) and 94% (80-99), respectively, for IgA. No correlation was observed between the presence of antibodies to Saccharomyces cerevisiae and clinical features.

Approved Biosimilars
FDA Rejects Mylan and Biocon's Follow-On Insulin Glargine
Mylan and its partner Biocon have received a Complete Response Letter from the FDA in regard to their application for a follow-on insulin glargine referencing Lantus.
Samantha DiGrande
Mylan and its partner Biocon have received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the FDA in regard to their application for a follow-on insulin glargine referencing Lantus.
Though neither Mylan nor Biocon have issued corporate statements concerning the CRL, Julie Knell, senior director of global product communications for Mylan, acknowledged the CRL in an email to The Center for Biosimilars®, and said that, "Following submission of our Insulin Glargine application under the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway, we had agreed with FDA to provide additional clinical data in support of the manufacturing site change from Bangalore to Malaysia. Hence, the recent CRL was anticipated and built into our plan."
Knell continued, "Together, Mylan and Biocon are already executing on all required activities we had agreed upon with FDA, and they are progressing according to plan," and said that the companies did not anticipate a change of timing for their anticipated launch.
The CRL comes after Biocon received a Form 483 from the FDA in February that noted 6 observations after an inspection of a manufacturing facility in Malaysia revealed conditions that may have violated the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act.
In contrast with the FDA's concerns, regulatory agencies in Europe and Australia have both authorized the drug. In March 2018, the product was authorized for marketing as a biosimilar by both the European Commission, following a positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use in January 2018, as well as by the Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia. The biosimilar will be sold under the brand name Semglee in a 100 IU/mL 3mL prefilled pen in both territories.
This CRL is the latest in a series from the FDA for proposed follow-on and biosimilar products. In the last 2 months, Amgen received a CRL for its proposed trastuzumab biosimilar, ABP 980; Pfizer received a CRL for its proposed trastuzumab biosimilar, PF-05280014; and Celltrion received CRLs for its proposed rituximab and trastuzumab biosimilars CT-P10, and CT-P6, respectively.

Gonna Pay For That! I'm already a bit stiff and sore and it hasn't been 5 hours since I left the ice. I took my youth group ice skating today. Involved was some terrifying moments on the slick stuff along with using muscles I don't normally use. Although I didn't fall, I am going to pay tomorrow with some stiffness. Worth it? Oh yeah. We had a blast. Our walk with God is like using our muscles. We need to exercise our faith. Reading God's word, talking with Him in prayer, worshiping Him. Are these rules from God? Well,He does tell us to exercise these things. But look at them more as what they are - privileges. We get to read God's love letter. We are able to chat with our Creator. We can be speechless as we consider "how great is our God". I don't think you'll end up sore in any way, but you will end up walking closer with Jesus through these privileges. And will you pay for it? Nah. Just like spending time with my youth was priceless today, spending time with Jesus is beyond compare. And as the song says, "nothing compares with the promise I have in You"

Q: Make a quantity selector javascript H everyone,
I would like to put a quantity selector on a product page, my script was working fine but since I added a feature to remove the stock on the merchant side, my script doesn't work anymore when there is no more stock... I don't see at all how I could solve the problem.
In database, I usually have a stock (in int) and when there is no stock there is a null in database.
Here is my script:
if({{ $CurrentProduct->disposable_quantity }} != null) {
                if (newQty > {{ $CurrentProduct->disposable_quantity }}) {
                    $('input[name="quantity"]').val({{ $CurrentProduct -> disposable_quantity }});
                }
            }

if({{ $CurrentProduct->disposable_quantity }} != null) {
                if (inputValue > {{ $CurrentProduct -> disposable_quantity }}) {
                    $('input[name="quantity"]').val({{ $CurrentProduct -> disposable_quantity }});
                }
            }

I don't really understand where this is coming from, the fact that I can't increment my quantity when it equals zero.

The lumbar spine (low back) is made up of 5 vertebra (bones), discs in between each vertebra, nerves exiting the spinal cord and many muscles and ligaments that provide movement and stabilization. The last lumbar vertebra also connects to the sacrum and coccyx (tailbone). An acute injury, such as car accident, a fall, or lifting heavy objects can cause pain and decreased range of motion. Acute injuries can affect all structures in the spine from the vertebrae and corresponding joints of each, spinal muscles (strains) and ligaments (sprains), spinal nerves and discs (bulging or herniated). Often disc oriented back problems require a special type of exercise approached called McKenzie technique that our therapists can instruct you in if necessary. Chronic spinal disorders can also affect the same structures of the spine, but typically build up over time. Arthritic or degenerative changes to the spine that develop over time can predispose people to spinal disorders. These changes do not necessarily have to be painful, rather extraneous variables including our level of fitness, body morphology (type or size), lifestyle and diet, stress, posture, or other biomechanical faults can all lead to stress on these arthritic spinal areas eventually causing pain. At CPTC, we can treat all arthritic changes to the spine, and we look to identify the stressors that inflame these arthritic changes.
Sacro-iliac (SI) disorders also fall into the lumbar area. The SI joint is where the sacrum and the Iliac portion of the pelvis join. This joint is very close to the lower lumbar vertebra and is often seen as the 'dimple' in a person's lower back. The pelvis also has a joint in the front of the body called the pubic symphysis. These joints can become inflamed or stressed just like any other joint in the body.
Coccyx (tailbone) pain can result from a fall landing on your buttock or from chronic poor posture. There are internal and external treatments that can be used to assist in correcting alignment, as well as appropriate strengthening and stretching. Correct sitting and standing posture can greatly assist with pain management for patients with coccyx pain.
Another common symptom we treat is 'sciatica' (irritation of the sciatic nerve/nerve roots that comprise the sciatic nerve) which refers to the pain sensation and or numbness/tingling that can radiate from the back and into one or both lower extremities and possibly into the feet/toes. It is important to realize that sciatica is NOT a diagnosis, but rather a symptom of something that is CAUSING it. Disorders of the lumbar spine, sacro-iliac joints and pelvic/hip muscles can all create these symptoms and it is our job to identify your source of sciatic pain.
We are also trained to treat all post-surgical spinal conditions following appropriate tissue healing parameters and the referring physician's rehabilitation guidelines or protocol.
Depending on your individual needs, your treatment plan may include a wide variety of interventions, such as: joint mobilizations of the spine, soft tissue mobilizations to surrounding muscles, modalities (electrical stimulation, ultrasound or traction if indicated), exercises for strengthening and/or stretching, and posture education.


If it's underground Balkan can fix it – main water line, sewer line, oil fill line, steam line, any line at any time. One of the things that Balkan prides itself on is working seamlessly with other tradesmen. So when a potential environmental issue arose in Manhattan concerning an underground oil fill Balkan was integral in solving the problem quickly, efficiently, and safely. When an underground oil fill line becomes defective it has the potential to leach oil into the ground, not only causing a loss of valuable heating oil but a potential environmental issue as well.
Securing required NYC DOT permit, which mandated weekend only work.
Complete break-out of the sidewalk affected by the damaged oil line.
Excavation exposing the entire line from the curb line into the building.
Complete installation of a new oil fill line including proper insulation.
Backfill and compaction of the excavation.
Sidewalk cement restoration with the new oil fill cap to grade.
All debris removed from the site and left broom clean.
All work completed the same workday – with the sidewalk ready for pedestrian traffic Monday morning.
What may seem like a simple main water line, sewer line, or other service line problem can get complicated when proper coordination and expertise are not utilized. A licensed plumbing contractors job is to take the extraordinary and to make it ordinary. At Balkan there is a fully staffed office open for 12 hours a day with a principal of the company on hand at all times. After hour calls are typically responded to until 10PM and likewise monitored by a principal of the company. Even though Balkan is the largest sewer line and main water line service company in NYC we still provide personal, professional service, and cater to your particular job need – even a broken oil fill line in a NYC sidewalk.

Adrien Broner Ordered To Pay Over $800,000 In Sexual Assault Case
By: Sean Crose
"Boxing star Adrien Broner has been ordered to pay more than $700k to a woman who claims AB sexually assaulted her at a nightclub back in 2018, court records show."
The above quote, from TMZ (the site has changed the amount owed in an update), indicates that Broner has once again gotten himself into a world of trouble. The incident that led to the heavy fine reportedly occurred on June 8th of 2018. According to TMZ, the accuser, who goes by the alias "Katherine Larson" reported Broner "smothered her" on a couch, "and shoved his tongue down her throat at a Cleveland nightclub." Larson also claimed "Broner continued the assault until his friend pulled him off her."
After Larson went to the police, Broner reportedly pleaded guilty to assault and unlawful restraint charges. On Tuesday, the judge in the civil case ordered Broner to pay more than $830,000 to Larson.In it's article, TMZ quotes the judge as saying there was "clear and convincing evidence that (the fighter) acted maliciously and that a substantial punitive award is necessary to punish and deter him from engaging in similar conduct in the future." Larson claimed she suffered from PTSD due to Broner's actions, and subsequently required a considerable amount of therapy.
"In issuing the award," TMZ states, "the judge noted that Broner had not shown up to defend himself against the woman's claims."
Broner is known for getting in trouble. Once known as one of the top stars in the sport, perhaps even heir to Floyd Mayweather's throne, he went through money and people's patience with outlandish behavior. After losing to Marcos Madiana in a 2013 war, Broner fell from on high. Still, the antics continued, and the man found himself in some form of trouble with the law over and over again. Although still popular, the Cincinnati native hasn't won a major fight in years. His most recent outing, against the iconic Manny Pacquiao, resulted in a one sided decision loss last January.
In the video of the police report TMZ provided, a friend/associate of Larson's claims neither she nor Larson even knew Broner. "That's all I know," Larson herself says, "that he's a boxer." In the video, Larson tells the officer on duty that she was out having a good time when "all of the sudden I'm laying flat on my back and he's on top of me." Larson states that she tried to get out of the situation but that "he kept like telling me to shut up and telling me to kiss him." Both Larson and her associate are clearly upset in the video. "It was all these dudes in here," Larson recalls of the incident, "and nobody did anything."

Lifeline/Childline helping the community to help themselves
Posted by admin | Nov 7, 2014 | Community and Culture
(L-R) Lavinia Titus, Kayleigh Bock, Stephanie Van Wyk, Mathilda Riruako, Punaete Kangootui and Dinah Kawedi are all responsible for the running of Childline/Lifeline radio Uitani, which means "We will live".
Lifeline/Childline Namibia receive approximately 20 000 calls from children a month on their free National Child Helpline and free sms line which was introduced in 2010, operating 14 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The organisation currently has eight counsellors with the other assistance being volunteers and interns from the University of Namibia's social work and psychology students.
National Director Lifeline/Chidline, Jane Shityuwete said that even though their may task is to counsel, they also have programmes in place at grassroots levels that encourage behaviour change.
Said Shityuwete, "We work with the communities to raise awareness of ours services and help. We also have parenting courses were we give parents tools on how to communicate with their children, how to give quality time to their children and how to positively engage with their children."
Shityuwete said that they are planning on a Gender Based Violence (GBV) helpline, to help with the prevention of GBV, both for the victim and the perpetrator or even victim to be or perpetrator to be.
"This line will be for people who think they might become a perpetrator or victim of GBV and for the ones who are already in this situation," she added
"We are currently getting our funds from the US government and UNICEF for this project, but we still need more funds from the Namibian government and private sectors," she said.
"We also have a programme called Safe Schools and Safe Communities, were communities and schools identify their own issues that they are struggling with and come up with their own solutions to these issue. Communities must own their problems and find solutions for them," Shityuwete said.
She added that they also have sexual risk reduction planning programmes which are set to teach and help girls and young women understand what sexual risks they are taking, then they can protect themselves from HIV/AIDS.
"The hallmark of our work is that all our programmes are integrated. We do not do them in isolation, if a teen mother comes to use for counselling, we counsel her as a parent, on sexual risk reduction and self esteem, it is all integrated," she added.
"We also have a radio program called Uitani, meaning 'We Will Live'. This programme is fully child participatory, it is lead by the children, whatever topic they wish to discuss in their schools and communities, this is the platform for them," said Shityuwete. "They can take their recorders home and can record what they want to and ten we edit it in our studio and send it different radio stations," she added.
"Everybody needs support, and there is no stigma in that, we all struggle and I urge you to contact us on our free phone and sms line 116, no problem is to small for us we will take you seriously," she encouraged.
Lifeline/Childline has got offices in the Hardap, Oshana, Ohangwena and Khomas Regions and they will also assist in referrals to connect with the Ministry Gender Equality and Child Welfare and Social Workers for further assistance.

I believe that what I'm about to say is accepted by venture capitalists as fact, even trivially obvious fact, yet very few entrepreneurs I meet seem to understand it.
An option on a share of stock of an early stage company is (for all practical purposes) equal in value to a share in that early stage company. Not less, as most entrepreneurs seem to believe (and god forbid you think "the VCs have the option to put in more money" is economically advantageous to you).
Here's why. Black and Scholes (and Merton) won a Nobel prize for inventing the Black-Scholes model, which was the first model that somewhat accurately modeled options pricing. Using this model, and making a few reasonable assumptions (the option is "near the money," the maturity is sufficiently far away), the key driver of an option's value is volatility (in fact, if you listen to option traders talk, they actually talk about prices in "vols"). In public markets, options are usually priced at some fraction of the share price. This is because public stocks under normal circumstances have volatilities around, say, 20% (at least they used to 10 years ago when I was programming options pricing algorithms).
So if your share price is $1, an option (European Call is a fancy word for options similar to what are given out in startups) is worth $0.9993 dollars.
This is good news for start up employees, directors, and advisors who are awarded stock options. Their options are economically as valuable as stock but have better tax treatment.
Here's the bad news. At least since I've been observing early stage deals (since 2003), so-called financial innovation in venture capital has been all about creating new kinds of options for investors, each one more obfuscatory than the last.
– The first way they create options is by simply doing nothing – telling the entrepreneur "great idea, come back in a few months when you've made more progress." The logic is: why would you invest now when you could invest in, say, 3 months with more information? (as VCs say, why not "flip another card over"). This is obviously perfectly within their rights and logical, but ultimately, in my opinion, penny wise and pound foolish. While the VCs might be successful with this strategy on a specific deal, in the long run they are hurting themselves reputationally and also probably by letting some good deals slip away.
– Next there was "warrant coverage." This is perfectly legitimate in many cases (e.g. as a "kicker" in a venture debt round, as part of an important strategic partnership), as long as the entrepreneur understands 1 warrant basically equals 1 share. One mistake entrepreneurs often make is to focus so intently on nominal valuation that they don't realize their "effective valuation" with warrants is much lower. For example, if the valuation is $10M pre and you give 100% warrant coverage, the valuation is really $5M pre.
– Over the past few years with big VCs starting "seed programs" we've seen the emergence of situations where there is no contractual option but the signaling value of the VC's potential non-participation gives them option-like value. I discuss why I dislike these deals here. (This might be one point on which Fred and I disagree…?).
– Super pro rata rights. This is a new term that's popped up lately. Pro-rata rights are options, but seem like reasonable ones. If as an investor I bought 5% of your company, pro rata rights give me the right to invest 5% in the next round. They are arguably a reasonable reward for taking a risk early on. Super pro rata rights mean if I buy 5% of your company now I have the right to invest, say, 50% of the next round. This is a really expensive deal for the entrepreneur. If an investors puts in $250K for 5% of your company now with super pro rata rights on 50% of the next round, I'd just for simplicity assume you sold ~20% (assuming the next round sells 30% and the VC does half of that) of your company for $250K. (The actual analysis of the value of super rata rights seems tricky – maybe some finance PhD will figure out how to price them at some point).
Good VCs don't mess around with this stuff. They realize that real value is created when you invest in great people and innovate around technology, not finance.

CoinMarketCap Pushes Exchanges to Transparency: Sign of Mature Market?
CoinMarketCap and major crypto exchanges are pushing to improve liquidity, strengthening the long-term growth trend of the sector.
In May, crypto market data provider CoinMarketCap requested all exchanges in the global exchange market disclose accurate data in a move to improve transparency of the information displayed on the platform. CoinMarketCap declared an ultimatum to all exchanges listed, clarifying that they would be delisted from the platform if they fail to provide accurate trading data, volume and other relevant information.
In an initiative called Data Accountability and Transparency Alliance (DATA), CoinMarketCap said that it will "review, align, and enhance reporting standards across the industry" with the objective of eliminating inflated volumes and inaccurate information from the market. The CoinMarketCap team said:
"Any exchange that does not provide this mandatory data to us via a new or updated summary endpoint will be excluded from all price and adjusted volume calculations on the site. There is a 45-day grace period for all exchanges to send this new endpoint to us, and changes will go into effect on June 14, 2019."
The 45-day grace period has now well passed, with 70% of crypto exchanges reported to have provided CoinMarketCap with information required to comply with the DATA initiative.
Is the crypto industry on the right track?
In March, Bitwise Asset Management, a San Francisco-based investment firm founded by former executives at Facebook, BlackRock and Goldman Sachs, reported in a presentation to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that 95% of the reported volume in the crypto exchange market was fake.
Related: Bitwise Calls Out to SEC: 95% of Bitcoin Trade Volume Is Fake, Real Market Is Organized
The Bitwise team disclosed that only 10 exchanges, with the exception of BitMEX, have a real daily bitcoin (BTC) trade volume above $1 million, which included Binance, Bitfinex, Kraken, Bitstamp, Coinbase, bitFlyer, Gemini, itBit, Bittrex and Poloniex.
At the time, the Bitwise team explained that, when inflated volumes were removed from the bitcoin market, the volume of the dominant cryptocurrency relative to its market cap was healthy. The firm also stated that arbitrage between the 10 exchanges had improved, indicating the formation of a healthier market structure. The report read:
"When you remove fake volume, the real bitcoin volume is quite healthy given its market cap. Gold's market cap is ~$7 trillion with a spot volume of ~$37 billion implying a 0.53% daily turnover. Bitcoin's $70 billion market cap would imply a 0.39% daily turnover, very much in-line with that of gold.
"Arbitrage between the 10 real exchanges has improved significantly. The average price deviation of any one exchange from the aggregate price is now less than 0.10%! Well below the arbitrage band considering exchange-level fees (0.10-0.30%) & hedging costs."
Over the past several months, the top exchange rankings by trade volume, following the implementation of the DATA initiative on CoinMarketCap, have started to reflect legitimate volumes coming from reputable exchanges.
BitMEX, Binance, OKEx and Huobi have been ranking as the top four exchanges based on reported volume, with Binance, OKEx and Huobi also ranking as the top three exchanges on adjusted volume.
For many months, the exchange Coinbene had ranked as the top exchange on CoinMarketCap, an exchange Bitwise explicitly suspected of having artificial trade volume. In an official statement, Carylyne Chan, the global head of marketing at CoinMarketCap, said:
"We are highly encouraged after seeing strong support for our DATA initiative so far. With these submitted data points, we aim to provide more meaningful analyses and metrics for our users, and empower them with information to do their own research even more effectively."
Over time, the crypto market will begin to reflect real volume
Currently, CoinMarketCap estimates the global crypto exchange volume to be over $100 billion, a figure that is still estimated to be substantially higher than verifiable volume in the market.
Bitwise created a methodology called the "Real 10" volume of bitcoin, with data from the 10 exchanges it identified as having verifiable volume. The Real 10 volume of bitcoin is hovering at around $3.1 billion as of June 26, according to Messari. The Real 10 volume, put together with the CME bitcoin futures market volume and BitMEX, likely surpasses $14 billion, since CME has registered over a billion dollars in daily volume at its peak in May and BitMEX has been recording over $10 billion in daily trading volume in the past month.
Even with the removal of 30% of the exchanges that failed to comply with CoinMarketCap — which the firm has not disclosed yet — it is entirely possible that exclusion of alternative cryptocurrency volume would result in the verifiable daily volume of the crypto market being less than $30 billion.
As CoinMarketCap continues to delist exchanges that failed to comply with the DATA initiative from the platform, the daily volume of the market on CoinMarketCap is expected to decline. Still, a large discrepancy between real volume and reported volume exists.
The Blockchain Transparency Institute team said:
"Initial BTI Verified exchanges include 9 of the top cleanest exchanges in our rankings. These exchanges include Coinbase, Upbit, Bittrex, Poloniex, Liquid, Kraken, Gate, Bitso, and Lykke. The largest exchanges in the United States, Korea, Japan, and Mexico are all on our initial release and we will be announcing new additions each month. All initial BTI Verified exchanges are over 90% clean with a few that are 97-99% clean including Coinbase and Upbit. Kraken was the cleanest exchange we found with these current algorithms at over 99%."
Over time, with the launch of strictly regulated platforms in key countries like the U.S., the reported volume of the crypto exchange market will likely see less inflation, and portray real demand and interest from both retail and institutional investors.
The Commodities and Futures Exchange Commission (CFTC) approved the application of LedgerX on June 25 to operate in the U.S. market as a crypto derivatives and clearing platform. LedgerX co-founder Juthica Chou said:
"We've long had the goal to expand the range of customers we can serve beyond our institutional base — it's the natural next step for us. Omni, by interfacing with our existing institutional liquidity pool, will offer retail customers a top tier experience from day one."
Bakkt, the highly anticipated bitcoin futures market operated by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) — the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) — is expected to launch in July. Adam White, the chief operating officer of Bakkt, said on June 13 that the Bakkt bitcoin futures platform will launch on July 22 and that its launch will establish a new standard for accessing crypto markets, while also raising liquidity in the market. White said at the time:
"This launch will usher in a new standard for accessing crypto markets. Compared to other markets, institutional participation in crypto remains constrained due to limitations like market infrastructure and regulatory certainty. This results in lower trading volumes, liquidity, and price transparency than more established markets like ICE's Brent Crude futures contract, which has earned global trust in setting the world's price of crude oil."
For years, minor exchanges with restricted capital and resources had the incentive to inflate their volumes to appeal to retail investors. However, with the emergence of strictly regulated and reputable platforms, the incentive to spend significant resources in an attempt to become more compelling to retail investors has noticeably dropped.
Minor exchanges will likely not survive, increasing transparency in the market
At the start of 2019, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an intergovernmental organization founded as a part of the G-7, released a guideline to request crypto exchanges to revamp their internal management systems and Know Your Customer (KYC) policies to crack down on money laundering.
Already, key countries participating in the G-20 summit, including South Korea, have started the process of preparing a new bill to reflect the recommendations of the FATF.
All of the requests released by the FATF, such as asking crypto exchanges to record all transactions above $1,000, will likely not be accepted by most member countries. But, they are likely to follow the vision laid out by the FATF to strengthen Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policies.
Related: What Crypto Exchanges Do to Comply With KYC, AML and CFT Regulations
To comply with such policies, exchanges will need to appoint in-house security experts, establish better internal management systems and cover legal costs, which would generally create an impractical environment for small exchanges with small profit margins to operate in. The communique released by Japan's Ministry of Finance read:
"Technological innovations, including those underlying crypto-assets, can deliver significant benefits to the financial system and the broader economy. While crypto-assets do not pose a threat to global financial stability at this point, we remain vigilant to risks, including those related to consumer and investor protection, anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT). "
The G-20 explicitly said that it "looks forward" to adopting the guideline released by the FATF by the end of June, which indicates that member countries would try to follow the FATF's guideline at maximum capacity, adding that:
"We welcome IOSCO's work on crypto-asset trading platforms related to consumer and investor protection and market integrity. We welcome the FSB's directory of crypto-asset regulators, and its report on work underway, regulatory approaches and potential gaps relating to crypto-assets."

Q: DAX REMOVEFILTERS not working as expected I know this is a commonly asked question, but after hours of research, I still can't figure out why this isn't working.
I'm using a general ledger as a fact table in my Power BI data model. I have a slicer pane which allows the user to filter by fund, department, and transaction type (Actual or Budget). However, for certain visuals I want to ignore the transaction type selected in the slicer.
I created two measures: [Actuals Total] and [Budget Total]. They're pretty much the same, but here is the DAX for one of them:
Budget Total = CALCULATE(SUM(GL[Amount]),REMOVEFILTERS(GL[Transaction Type]),GL[Transaction Type]="Budget")
But as you can see below, it appears the filter on transaction type still applies.

Am I missing something?

A: First, you need to create a proper star schema from your GL table. It should look something like this:

Then, write 3 DAX measures (the first one for convenience):
GL Amount = SUM(GL[Amount])

Actual Total = CALCULATE( [GL Amount], Trx[Trx Type] = "Actual")

Budget Total = CALCULATE( [GL Amount], Trx[Trx Type] = "Budget")

Notice that REMOVEFILTERS is not necessary because syntax sugar hides an implicit ALL in these measures, which in full version look like this:
Actual Total =
CALCULATE (
    [GL Amount],
    FILTER ( ALL ( Trx[Trx Type] ), Trx[Trx Type] = "Actual" )
)

ALL here is identical to REMOVEFILTERS.
Also notice that you must use Transaction type from the dimension, not from the GL table.
Finally, make sure that the slicer is based on the transaction type from the dimension, not from the GL table.

Home/Front/Sandeep Thakur's PIL stains Devendra Fadnavis clean record in Wadhwa's illegal Amey CHS at Nerul ?
In nearly 5 years as Chief Minister, Devendra Fadavnis holds a clean record. No allegations of corruption, no scams and so far no accusations of any nexus with powerful builders in the state. This has been an achievement for him as a Chief Minister. However, a PIL by eminent RTI activist Sandeep Thakur in the Bombay High Court challenges this clean record of Chief Minister Devendra Fadavnis. The PIL in question is against Nerul situated Wadhwa Group's Amey CHS.
The case in Bombay High Court brings on record that Wadhwa Group's Amey CHS does not have an Occupancy Certificate. On one hand the group's Chairman Vijay Wadhwa and Managing Director Navin Makhija speak of following ethical practices as a builder group, on another hand they have made sold even fire refuge areas in their project at Nerul to make money from ignorant buyers. Without Occupancy Certificate, the flats have been sold to the tune of Crores and the architect of the project Hiten Sethi too lives in the same building.
The construction has not been done as per approved plan.
Fire refuge area also not spared to make money.
Besides these there are several violations, some committed by the architect Hiten Sethi in his own pent house in the same project. The violations are so many and such that NMMC can never regularize them.
CHIEF MINISTER DEVENDRA FADAVNIS SHIELDING WADHWA GROUP?
The most shocking expose in the case has been made by the petitioner Sandeep Thakur in the Bombay High Court where he has brought on record that the Principal Secretary of the Chief Minister's Office has been pressurizing NMMC on OC to Wadhwa Group.
He added that he has brought on record in the Bombay High Court, the interference of the CMO in the case.
The fate of Wadhwa Group's Palm Beach Residency Amey CHS will be decided on March 22nd when the case will be heard next. Sandeep Thakur says that he has appealed to the court to order that flats be vacated in the project, violations should be demolished and action should be taken against both NMMC officials and architect Hiten Sethi.
It may be recalled when NMTV has spoken to NMMC Commissioner Dr Ramaswamy N he had said that they rejected the OC to Wadhwa Group in November 2018.
Sandeep Thakur advocates that such builders, who put the lives of citizens at risk if an untoward incident of a fire ever occurred, should be jailed and blacklisted.
According to sources, post this PIL, Wadhwa Group is facing the heat of aware buyers who have pulled back from investing in its project Wise City at Panvel next to Navi Mumbai International Airport. The project, one may recalled was launched by Chief Minister Devendra Fadavnis with much fanfare last year. It's unfortunate that a Chief Minister of the repute of Devendra Fadavnis is aligning his clean record with the unethical work by Wadhwa Group. As for Wadhwa Group, they often speak of the highest standards of ethical building. Unfortunately, the Wadhwa Group does not seem to be walking its talk in its Nerul project. Meanwhile since the life-savings of many ignorant buyers stands at risk, it will be a wait and watch on the Bombay High Courts' stand on it. This PIL is extremely crucial also because it will hopefully bring an end to the dangerous trend of unethical builders selling flats illegally to ignorant buyers.

Mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome: a population-wide study on prevalence and health care use in Finland in 1998–2016
Jaana Keto*, Sonja Hahtola, Miika Linna, Liisa Väkevä
Department of Industrial Engineering and Management
Background: Information about health care use and costs of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) patients is limited, particularly in a European setting. Methods: In this population-wide study we set out to investigate prevalence, and trends in health care use in two CTCL subtypes, mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS) over a time period of 19 years in 1998–2016 by using a nation-wide patient register containing data on all diagnosed MF and SS cases in Finland. Results: The prevalence of diagnosed MF and SS rose from 2.04 to 5.38/100000, and from 0.16 to 0.36/100000 for MF and SS respectively during 1998–2016. We found a substantial decrease in inpatient treatment of MF/SS in the past two decades with a mean of 2 inpatient days/patient/year due to MF/SS in 2016, while the mean numbers of MF/SS related outpatient visits remained stable at 8 visits/year/patient. Most MF/SS-related outpatient visits occurred in the medical specialty of dermatology. In a ten-year follow-up after MF/SS diagnosis, the main causes for outpatient visits and inpatient stays were MF/SS itself, other cancers, and other skin conditions. Also cardiovascular disease and infections contributed to the number of inpatient days. Mean total hospital costs decreased from 11,600 eur/patient/year to 3600 eur/patient/year by year 4 of the follow-up, and remained at that level for the remainder of the 10-year follow-up. MF/SS accounted for approximately half of the hospital costs of these patients throughout the follow-up. Conclusions: The nearly 3-fold increase in prevalence of diagnosed MF/SS during 1998–2016 puts pressure on the health care system, as this is a high-cost patient group with a heavy burden of comorbidities. The challenge can be in part answered by shifting the treatment of MF/SS to a more outpatient-based practice, and by adapting new pharmacotherapy, as has been done in Finland.

20th Anniversary of the Washington Agreement – a Review
2021 marked the 20th anniversary of the signing of the "Agreement Between the Austrian Federal Government and the Government of the United States of America on the Settlement of Questions Concerning Compensation and Restitution for Victims of National Socialism", Federal Law Gazette III no. 121/2001), which entered into effect in 2001.
An annex to the agreement comprised ten paragraphs in which specific measures were agreed. The ways in which these measures were implemented are briefly outlined below.
1. Immediate Compensation for Survivors
Item 1 of this Agreement provided for immediate compensation to be paid to survivors for seized tenancy rights, household effects and personal valuables. This was put into practice by the National Fund from 2001 onward.
Applications could be filed until 30 June 2004. Lump sums of 7,630 euros (7,000 US dollars) and an additional payment of 1,000 euros were disbursed to approx. 20,000 applicants or their heirs. In total the National Fund made payments totaling approx. 175 million euros as compensation for seized tenancy rights.
2. Establishment of a General Settlement Fund
Item 2 concerned the establishment of a General Settlement Fund as a comprehensive resolution to open questions of compensation for victims of National Socialism.
In 2001 the Federal Law on the Establishment of a General Settlement Fund for Victims of National Socialism and on Restitution Measures (General Settlement Fund Law, GSF Law) was enacted. The opportunity to file applications was publicized worldwide in 18 languages, 29 countries and 138 print media editions. By the time the deadline had expired in May 2003, over 20,700 applications had been filed. After the last class action suit against Austria and Austrian enterprises had been dismissed in the USA in 2005 and legal closure (see Item 10) had been declared, in January 2006 the General Settlement Fund began to disburse the 210 million U.S. dollarswith which it had been endowed.
The applications for compensation of losses of assets filed with the General Settlement Fund were decided on by an independent three-person Claims Committee. The governments of the United States and the Republic of Austria each appointed one member. These two members then nominated their chairman. The Claims Committee was composed of Sir Franklin Berman (Chairman), the U.S. American nominee G. Jonathan Greenwald and the Austrian nominee Dr. Kurt Hofmann.
The Claims Committee has now decided on all applications for compensation of asset losses. Approx. 215 million US dollars have been disbursed. In total around 25,000 beneficiaries (applicants, heirs and co-heirs) received a payment from the General Settlement Fund.
On 4 April 2017, the Final Report of the Claims Committee was officially acknowledged by the Main Committee of the National Council whereupon the Claims Committee was dissolved.
3. Arbitration Panel for In Rem Restitution of Publicly-Owned Property
Item 3 stipulated the establishment of an Arbitration Panel for In Rem Restitution to examine applications for the return of immovable properties and the assets of Jewish communal organizations.
In addition to the Claims Committee, an independent Arbitration Panel for In Rem Restitution was also established at the General Settlement Fund. This three-person committee was active from 2001 to 2021 and could recommend the restitution of real estate and superstructures, as well as movable assets belonging to Jewish communal organizations that were publicly-owned on 17 January 2001.
In this context, publicly-owned property comprised property owned (directly or indirectly) by the Federation (Republic of Austria) or by the provinces and municipalities that had opted into the proceedings of the Arbitration Panel. These were the City of Vienna, the provinces of Upper Austria, Salzburg, Carinthia, Lower Austria, Lower Austria, Styria, Vorarlberg and Burgenland and the municipalities of Bad Ischl, Eisenstadt, Frauenkirchen, Grieskirchen, Kittsee, Kobersdorf, Korneuburg, Mattersburg, Oberwart, Purkersdorf, Rechnitz, Stockerau, Vöcklabruck and Wiener Neudorf. The municipalities of Bad Vöslau and Schwechat also requested the Arbitration Panel to examine two cases that came before the Panel.
One member of the Arbitration Panel was nominated by each of the governments of the United States and the Republic of Austria. The chairman was nominated by these two members. The Chairman of the Arbitration Panel was University Professor Josef Aicher; University Professor August Reinisch was nominated by the US American government and the Austrian government nominated former Ambassador Erich Kussbach.
The Arbitration Panel decided on all 2,307 applications for in rem restitution received and issued 1,582 decisions on them. The total value of the properties recommended for restitution by the Arbitration Panel amounts to an estimated 48 million euros.
On 29 June 2021, the Final Report of the Arbitration Panel was officially acknowledged by the Main Committee of the National Council, whereupon the Arbitration Panel was dissolved.
4. Additional Social Benefits for Survivors*
Item 4 provided for additional social benefits for surviving victims of National Socialism in the field of victims' welfare, nursing allowance and pensions.
In order to implement these agreements, the Opferfürsorgegesetz ("Victims' Welfare Act") and the Allgemeines Sozialversicherungsgesetz ("General Social Security Act") were amended when the GSF Law was enacted. For nursing allowance, it was agreed to "allow disbursement of nursing allowance up to category 7 to victims of National Socialism living abroad as soon as possible". Furthermore, it was agreed that the previously applicable cut off of six years of age at the time of forced emigration as a requirement for receiving compensation was dropped and internment in establishments similar to concentration camps, such as Sammellager ("assembly camps") was put on equal footing with imprisonment in order to meet the requirements to claim a pension. Finally, the requirement that pension recipients hold Austrian citizenship no longer applies.
Since 2002 money for all seven categories of nursing allowance has been "exported" to victims of National Socialism residing abroad; this was previously only possible in the second category of care. Between the end of 2001 and the end of 2003 the number of recipients of nursing allowance pursuant to Sec. 5a of the Victims' Welfare Act was on the increase; since 2004 the number of recipients has been in decline. At the end of 2021, 1,030 recipients of nursing allowance lived abroad: 671 in the USA, 529 in Israel, 135 in Great Britain. The remainder are resident in 21 other countries. From 2002 up to and including 2021, nursing allowance amounting to 255.1 million Euro was distributed to persons abroad.
The number of recipients of a pension pursuant to the Victims' Welfare Act diminished from almost 1,648 in the year 2016 to 1,092 in early 2022. As per January 2022 there were a total of 176 recipients with their place of residence outside Austria.
By the end of 2021 a total of 1,022.1 million Euros had been spent in the field of victims' welfare. This sum consists of total victims' welfare expenditure of 988.6 million Euro and monetary payments from the Offset Tax Fund/victims' welfare in the amount of 33.5 million Euro.
With regard to the General Social Security Act, it was determined in the Washington Agreement that "all those born on the present-day territory of the Republic of Austria between 1 January 1933 and 12 March 1938 will be eligible to buy into the Austrian pension system under the conditions of Sec. 502 (1), (4), (6)." At the end of 2005, around 14,300 persons were drawing a pension from the state pension system on the basis of the benefits provisions; at the end of 2021 there were 3,107. In the same period, the total annual expenditure for the pensions of these beneficiaries fell from around 22 million euros to 46 million euros.
5. Restitution of Works of Art
Item 5 regulates the restitution of artworks, which was to be continued on the basis of the Kunstrückgabegesetz ("Art Restitution Law") of 1998 "at an accelerated pace". Beyond this, similar procedures were to be carried out at a municipal and provincial level and, with this in mind, provenance research was to be intensified. The Austrian Federal Government gave assurance that it would do "its utmost" to tackle the issue of art restitution for objects owned by Austrian companies and public bodies which were not covered by the Art Restitution Law.
Following resolutions in this regard by Vienna and Styria (passed prior to the publication of the Washington Agreement), in 2002 Salzburg, Lower Austria, Burgenland and Upper Austria passed similar resolutions or provincial laws, joined by Carinthia and Vorarlberg in 2003, Tyrol in 2007 and the Municipality of Stockerau in 2004.
In 2009 the scope of application of the Art Restitution Law – which up to this time had only governed items in Austrian federal museums and collections – was extended to include other moveable cultural objects directly owned by the Federation and, furthermore, also objects which had been seized between 1933 and 1938 on the entire territory of the German Reich. To date, around 10,000 objects have been restituted on the basis of the Art Restitution Law.
The National Fund has also been running an art database since 2006. It serves as a platform for information and a forum for finding the heirs to restitutable art. It contains around 9,000 objects, 2,800 of which have already been subject to examination. If no legal successors can be found to the aggrieved owners of an object which is suitable for restitution, the National Fund disposes of the item in accordance with its legal mandate and allocates the proceeds for the benefit of the victims of National Socialism. In June 2010, art objects were transferred to the National Fund pursuant to the Art Restitution Law for the first time: it received 8,363 books from the National Library, the proceeds of which benefit the victims of National Socialism.
For more information on the tasks of the National Fund in the area of art restitution, see https://www.nationalfonds.org/disposition-of-heirless-art-objects
6. Hakoah Sports Club
Item 6 provided for the restitution and renovation of the former grounds of the Jewish Sport Club Hakoah.
In 2004, in exchange for the grounds seized by the Nazi regime in 1938, the reestablished club was given a 19,500 m² piece of land in the Vienna Prater near the Ernst Happel Stadium. Beyond this, the City of Vienna and the Republic of Austria each provided four million US dollars for its conversion. The opening ceremony for the sports center took place in March 2008.
7. State Archives
Item 7 stipulated that the Republic of Austria provide additional funding to the Austrian State Archives to improve access to the files and answer enquiries about restitution and compensation matters quickly and non-bureaucratically.
In 2001, two positions were created for community servicemen (filled on rotation in line with the duration of their compulsory period of service) to assist with these inquiries; in 2007, they were reduced to one position. An estimated 90,000 files were made available for processing the applications for restitution and compensation. Around two-thirds of the 72,000 files that were researched for the Claims Committee by the Research Department of the General Settlement Fund came from archives in Vienna, the majority from the Austrian State Archives.
8. Jewish Cemeteries
Item 8 stipulated financial support for the restoration and upkeep of Jewish cemeteries in Austria.
After systematic records had been made of the Jewish cemeteries in Austria in 2001, and the Federal Office for the Protection of Monuments had carried out investigations as to their suitability as official registered monuments, in 2010 the Bundesgesetz über die Einrichtung des Fonds zur Instandsetzung der jüdischen Friedhöfe in Österreich ("Federal Law on the Establishment of the Fund for the Restoration of the Jewish Cemeteries in Austria") was enacted. The National Fund was entrusted with administering the Fund. An Advisory Board issues recommendations for the decisions of the Board of Trustees. On the basis of guidelines that were issued in May 2011, the Board of Trustees of the Fund for the Restoration of the Jewish Cemeteries in Austria makes its decisions on applications for funding.
From 2010 to the end of 2020, the Cemeteries Fund subsidized around 50 restoration projects at 13 Jewish cemeteries throughout Austria with a total of around 7.3 million euros.
9. Subsidies to the Annual Holocaust Education Program at the Salzburg Seminar
Item 9 provided for subventions for the annual Holocaust educational program of the Salzburg Seminar.
The "Salzburg Global Seminar" of the "Holocaust Education and Genocide Prevention Initiative" is a long term project which was developed in collaboration with the United States Holocaust Museum and the Austrian Foreign Ministry to investigate the links between Holocaust education and genocide prevention. Austria subsidized the international founding conference of this initiative, "The Global Prevention of Genocide: Learning from the Holocaust", with 75,000 Euro from the Future Fund. The Austrian team of the Task Force for International Cooperation on Holocaust Education, Remembrance, and Research (today the International Holocaust Remembrance Association) assisted in planning and holding the conference.
Another conference, "Learning from the Past: Global Perspectives on Holocaust Education", which was held in Salzburg in 2012, investigated the role of the Holocaust as a point of reference for educators on the subject of genocide and human rights worldwide. The conference was sponsored by the National Fund and the Future Fund.
Another conference, "Holocaust Education and Genocide Prevention: Sharing Experiences across Boarders" was also co-funded by the National Fund in 2014.
10. Legal Closure
Item 10 governs the legal closure regarding claims "arising from or related to the National Socialist era or World War II that have been or may be asserted against Austria and/or Austrian companies".
Following the establishment of the General Settlement Fund and the Arbitration Panel, the statutory amendments pertaining to the additional social measures agreed under Item 4, the "good faith progress" in implementing Items 5 to 9 and the dismissal of the last class action suit, in 2005 "legal peace" was announced in Federal Law Gazette II no. 414/2005.
Twenty years on from the signing of the Washington Agreement, most of its measures have been fully implemented. Critical analysis of Austria's (own) Nazi past and the ability to learn its lessons shall continue to remain challenges in the future.
* The information on Item 4 "Additional social benefits for survivors" was updated on 16 May 2022 with information provided by the Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection on 22 April 2022.

ITC Commissions First Offsite Solar Plant in Tamil Nadu
ITC Limited, one of India's leading multi-business conglomerates and an acknowledged exemplar in sustainability, has commissioned its first offsite solar plant in Dindigul, Tamil Nadu.
The 14.9 MW solar plant, built at an investment of Rs 76 crores, will help reduce CO2 emissions over the course of its lifetime said the company press release.
The plant has already helped ITC to achieve the rare feat of meeting 90% of its electricity requirement from renewable sources in the state of Tamil Nadu.
This new project is in line with ITC Chairman Mr. Sanjiv Puri's 'Sustainability 2.0' Vision, a comprehensive goal-based agenda which raises the bar for sustainability performance. This bold Vision calls for inclusive strategies that can support even more livelihoods, pursue newer pathways to fight climate change, support circular economy and enable transition to a net zero ecosystem.
As a part of this Vision, ITC plans to meet 100 percent of the entire grid electricity requirements from renewable sources by 2030 and contribute meaningfully to combat the threat of climate change, added the release.
Spread over a sprawling fifty-nine acres, the solar plant in Tamil Nadu is built with the latest in solar technology and complies with all national and international standards on design and safety. The unit will generate over twenty-two million units of renewable energy annually for ITC's hotels, food manufacturing plants, paper manufacturing facility, and printing and packaging factories in Tamil Nadu.
Commenting on this new project, Mr Sanjiv Rangrass, Group Head – ITC Life Sciences & Technology, Central Projects, EHS & Quality Assurance, ITC Ltd. stated, "At ITC, we have relentlessly pursued a mission for environmental stewardship through a gamut of large scale endeavours that comprehensively address the threat of climate change. Our large-scale investments in renewable energy assets are an integral part of our low carbon strategy aimed at making a meaningful contribution to a net zero economy".
ITC's renewable portfolio comprises 138 MW of wind power plants and 14 MW of Solar plants with 53MW of additional solar capacity under execution. Currently, projects are also underway in other sources of renewable energy like biomass boilers. The Company has made investments of over Rs. 1000 crores in renewable energy assets to date.
Renewable energy powers twenty factories, nine hotels, and six office buildings of ITC in Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Bihar, Haryana, West Bengal, and Punjab. In 2018, ITC became the first private sector entity to wheel renewable energy across states through the Inter-State Open Access mechanism. Currently, ITC's 46MW Wind power plant in Andhra Pradesh supplies power to over 15 ITC establishments in 8 states. This has led to a higher renewable energy utilization for the company.
Besides investing in new renewable energy assets, ITC, as part of its Sustainability 2.0 agenda aims to achieve a 50% reduction in specific emissions and a 30% reduction in specific energy consumption by 2030 over a 2014-15 baseline. Such efforts in decarbonizing energy consumption through low-carbon energy solutions will be met through large-scale digitalisation and R&D initiatives, cross-sectoral collaborations, and partnerships.
ITC is an exemplar in environment stewardship. The Company was recently rated at the 'Leadership Level' with scores of 'A-' for both Climate Change and Water Security by CDP, one of the most reputed independent global platforms for disclosures on environmental impacts.

Q: Missing Provisioning Profile :Apps must contain a provisioning profile in a file named embedded.mobileprovision App is already submitted to App Store from xcode-9 and now I have to update new version.But now xcode is updated i.e.xcode 10.During Validating it shows
'Apps must contain a provisioning profile in a file named embedded.mobileprovision..' .App is working fine on simulator
Even I have downloaded provisioning certificated.

A: You can also create a new build.json file at the root of your cordova project, if you don't already have one, and add the following json data. This basically tell the build process for "ios" to use the legacy build system. It will automatically add the build flags in the build.json file to your build command e.g. cordova build ios --prod will also run as though it was typed as cordova build ios --prod --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0".
{
    "ios": {
        "debug": {
            "buildFlag": [
                "-UseModernBuildSystem=0"
            ]
        },
        "release": {
            "buildFlag": [
                "-UseModernBuildSystem=0"
            ]
        }
    }
}

A: Clean your build (Cmd + Shift + K).  Quit XCode (don't just close the project, make sure XCode has completely quit).
Delete everything in the ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles folder.
Re-start XCode and load your project.
If you have XCode set to Automatically Manage Signing, you should be able to select your team and then it should re-download your provisioning profiles for you.  If you don't, you'll have to manually download them from your Apple Developer account and then select "import" from the Debug signing dropdown and the Distribution signing dropdown.
If you then try to run the app on a device and you get a "Valid Provisioning Profile cannot be found for this executable" you need to go to Window | Devices & Simulators.  Find your device on the left side of the window, ctrl+click on it, select "See Provisioning Profiles".  Click on each individual profile and click the minus sign at the bottom.  When the list is empty, click on the plus sign to add a new one, then find the profiles you downloaded and import each of them, one at a time to that list.
That should hopefully fix any provisioning profile issues that XCode is giving you.
Good luck!

A: If you have the above problem and it is being solved by switching to legacy build system. The alternative with new (default) build system is to to manual signing.
When uploading or validating your archive pick 'manual' option and select your Team and download the provisioning profile. (Or import after a download from the developer portal).

A: I tried to clear out the provisioning profiles and none of it did help. What changed from the previous XCode version to this one is the build system. By changing your build system back to the legacy one, this was resolved for me.
You can switch out the build system under file > workspace settings (or project settings) and then select Legacy Build System under Build System (see screenshot).

Edit: As of cordovo iOS 5.0.0 the new build system is now supported. Changelog can be found over here: https://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2019/02/09/cordova-ios-release-5.0.0.html

A: If running/building from the CLI, use this command to use the legacy build system instead of the new one
cordova build ios --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0"

A: I created a new provisioning profile and selected "Manually Manage Signing" and selected the profile I had manually created.
It then complained about missing a 1024x1024 icon which I fixed with this answer: Missing App Store Icon. iOS Apps must include a 1024x1024px App Store > Icon in PNG format


My name is Tim Preston and I am currently a student at MakerSquare, a 10 week full-time intensive web app development course in awesome Austin, Texas.
I am by no means an expert programmer. I am, however, a very thorough and methodical learner, so what I can offer to other aspiring programmers are some lessons I've learned on how to overcome some of the frustrating experiences that you will be sure to encounter.
I absolutely understand how daunting it can be to learn and debug stuff in what can only be described as an alien language. But, it doesn't matter where or how you start, or how bumpy the ride is, what matters is that you DO start and that you keep at it!
Lesson 1: Understand the basics.
I can only guess what it must feel like to debug a program with tens of thousands of lines of code, but for us beginners, understanding the basics (not just learning, but truly understanding) is crucial.
There's no way any of us will ever know that a word has been misspelled without understanding the alphabet first, and the same goes for code.
In this day and age where we're so obsessed with instantaneous results, we find ourselves wanting to fly before we're aware of the hands and knees we have to crawl with.
The beginnings are humble, but there is beauty in that modesty, so take time to absorb the basics. It's only with this kind of foundational knowledge that you'll be able to take full advantage of all of the future possibilities.
When I find myself stuck, the first thing I ask myself is: does the code I'm writing make sense?
If I had to describe (even through body language) that I needed to use the restroom, any person could figure out what I was trying to say, because humans are intuitive.
Computers, on the other hand, are not.
I think this fact is one of the hardest to come to terms with. It's okay to feel that way, because not only is it a brand new language to learn, it's a language that is entirely instructional. No sarcasm or tone will work here. However, we're all capable of understanding logic – the reason many people believe that "coding isn't for everyone" is because they may be intimidated by the syntax and "grammar" of programming.
It's perfectly natural to feel that way as human brains aren't wired to work the way a program needs you to. It is up to us to learn to "talk" to the machine. When writing code, you have to tell your program what has to be done and EXACTLY in the right order.
If you're making sense to the computer and yourself, you're on the right track.
So let's say the basics are covered, and let's even go so far as to say that the logic of your work is fine. And yet, your program is laughing at you (if it could) when you specifically asked it to be quiet!
As programmers (especially the aspiring kind), you're quick to realize that there are a million ways for a program to go wrong, yet only one way it can be right.
Some would disagree. They would say that with programming there are always many ways that code can be written in order for it to execute properly.
Lesson 4: Embrace that frustration, seriously, embrace it!
The MakerSquare instructors hammer it into our heads to EMBRACE the frustration. I'm not kidding! The sooner you do what seems completely masochistic, the more comfortable you will become with it and the less intimidated you will feel. But we only need to embrace that frustration enough to do the right amount of problem solving to squash it.
And when you do squash it by making a program execute properly, you will feel GLORIOUS.
Stay positive and motivated with why you wanted to learn programming to begin with.
Remember: You're a person, and what you're dealing with is a dumb computer, and there is no such thing as a program or even a computer that is smarter than you!

A Black-Box Adversarial Attack for Poisoning Clustering

February 2022 Adversarial Learning, Clustering, Machine Learning, Genetic Algorithms, Black-Box, Derivative-Free
Examples of original images (top) and their perturbed versions (bottom)
Clustering algorithms play a fundamental role as tools in decision-making and sensible automation processes. Due to the widespread use of these applications, a robustness analysis of this family of algorithms against adversarial noise has become imperative. To the best of our knowledge, however, only a few works have currently addressed this problem. In an attempt to fill this gap, in this work, we propose a black-box adversarial attack for crafting adversarial samples to test the robustness of clustering algorithms. We formulate the problem as a constrained minimization program, general in its structure and customizable by the attacker according to her capability constraints. We do not assume any information about the internal structure of the victim clustering algorithm, and we allow the attacker to query it as a service only. In the absence of any derivative information, we perform the optimization with a custom approach inspired by the Abstract Genetic Algorithm (AGA). In the experimental part, we demonstrate the sensibility of different single and ensemble clustering algorithms against our crafted adversarial samples on different scenarios. Furthermore, we perform a comparison of our algorithm with a state-of-the-art approach showing that we are able to reach or even outperform its performance. Finally, to highlight the general nature of the generated noise, we show that our attacks are transferable even against supervised algorithms such as SVMs, random forests and neural networks.

Q: "Turn on the radio" or "put on the radio"? Are both of these correct?

"Turn on the radio"
"Put on the radio"

A: We commonly turn on the television, radio, heater, lights, stove or anything else that requires a switch or knob to operate.
We do, however, put on the kettle, coffee, clothes, jewelry, things we wear, or manners/affectations (put on airs).

A: Both are used. "Put on the radio" is allowed, or at least is written, but "put the radio on" is more common, which may be why the comments to the OP say "put on the radio" sounds so foreign.
I am not smart enough to know how to insert the images but here are the ngrams on the matter.

With our intense Roku application development, we captured all the common problems and their solutions. Here is a quick list that you can refer as a starting point if you run into an issue.
https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/Debugging+Your+Application to learn more about debugging.
You can easily connect with debugging console of your application, by using a standard shell provided on your computer's OS and Telnet client application.
There are 3 ports used to debug the Roku channel.
sgnodes all: Prints every existing node created by the currently running channel.
sgnodes roots: Prints every existing node without a parent created by the currently running channel.
sgnodes node_ID: Prints nodes with an id field set to node_ID, except it bypasses all the hierarchy and rules, and just runs straight down the whole list in the order of node creation.
loaded_textures: Display the current set of images loaded into texture memory.
sgversion [default | force ]: When the 1st parameter is the default, it sets the default rsg_version of a channel when it is not specified in the manifest.
There are several very common errors during the SceneGraph application development. Here are a few that we encountered very frequently.
This error occurs because of BrightScript variable has been incorrectly spelled after it has been declared, never declared at all, or declared as a local variable in another function. In the debug console show the local variable used at the time of the error and variable listed as uninitialized. To solve this error you have to declare the variable or variables listed earlier in the application prior to the message and correct the spelling, or declare then correctly, or declare the variable using the m object reference which gives the variable file scope.
This error occurs because of a component by that name has either not been created, or an attempt is made to access a component member using an incorrectly spelled component name. In the debug console show the component objects and variables used at the time of the error, and note the component objects listed as invalid. To solve this error you have to correct the mismatch between the component name and the component object creation function argument and Correct the case-sensitive spelling of the component name either in the component file, or at the point where you attempted to create the component object.
This error occurs because of the graphic image file was not found in the location specified in the application. In the debug console show the graphic image does not found or path not found. To solve the error you have to check that graphic image file is in the specified location or the path and file name spelling to ensure that the correct graphic image appears.
This error occurs because of the ContentNode node assigned to the content field of the list or grid either does not exist, or was assigned after focus was set on the list or grid. To solve this error you have to check that the ContentNode node has been created successfully at the time it is assigned to the list or grid content field and set the focus on the grid or list after the content field is assigned a valid ContentNode node.
This error occurs because of time consuming calculation and more recursive call. In the debug console show the line number at which the error is detected will be flagged with an asterisk, and the message will provide the name of the function. There is a way you can achieve multithreading (only in the essence not actually), ie task node (read roku SDK for more info). To solve this error you have to create the task node and give the work of heavy calculation operations in task node.
This error occurs because of exceeding the stack size. To solve this error you have to reduce the recursive call.
