Q: joining with code table with multiple codes in single cell So i have two tables with one being a code table like this:
Codetable:
Name |code
Alex |Al
Harry|Ha
Sam  |Sm

Data Table:
ID|Game|Players
1 |Map |AL Ha
2 |Uno |As Da
3 |Bro |Bd Ha
3 |trio|Da Da Da Sm
4 |pong|Al

I wanted to join the tables and get the data of the games with players that don't match, so the end result would be:
ID|Game|Players
2 |Uno |As Da

I tried the following to first join the matching but it only gives me rows that are a straight match like Al=Al not like Al=Ha Al
select a.* from datatable a join codetable b on b.code like '%'+a.Players+'%'

Please let me know if you need additional info

A: You have your LIKE logic reversed and you need a LEFT JOIN to find those that do not match.
SELECT a.*
FROM DataTable a
LEFT JOIN CodeTable b on a.Players LIKE '%' + b.code + '%'
WHERE b.code IS NULL

This will also work.
SELECT a.*
FROM DataTable a
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(
   SELECT *
   FROM CodeTable b
   WHERE a.Players LIKE '%' + b.code + '%'
)

Here is a demo of both.

Some of the things in this comic are based on real events (though I exaggerated for fun) like putting cheesecake into soup, and making food into ducks (my cooking tastes horrible in case you're wondering).
Enjoy your holidays LIKE AN ARTIST!
I'm an artist... and can confirm that my room is indeed messy. I also think adding cheesecake to anything could make it better, and given the opportunity I will always enjoy wearing a long black coat.
This makes me smile a lot.
I am glad I found this.
I need that axolotl hat!
Love his expression in the 4th panel.
You seriously put cheese cake in soup?

VIP Hotspot: Who Do You Think You Are?
When: November 3 & 4, 2016.
Where: Hilton Puckrup Hotel, Tewkesbury.
Why: To help you find out who you really are, craft your message, and get you to stand out in a sea of samey… so you can attract the kind of customers and clients you want and deserve, and live the life you truly want.
But also to put you in the Hotspot – which is why you've landed on this page.
There are only two VIP hotspots available, one on each day. It's not for the faint-hearted, because you'll be sitting up in front of everyone with me, and we'll be going through your business, your goals, your branding, and your messaging in minute detail — and pulling apart anything that needs it.
By the time we're done, though, you'll have a complete Action Plan for your business and your marketing. One that works for you. We won't be taking what other people are doing and trying to squash it and bend it to fit your business and your personality; nor will we be trying to crowbar your business and personality into someone else's model.
We'll be creating a unique plan you're excited about putting into action. Something you can get started on right away.
We'll be filming these Hotspots, so you won't have to worry about making notes or do anything except be there, fully, in the room and participating.
It's not going to be a passive thing, either. It's not going to be me talking at you and going through everything and pointing out where you can improve in the same way I do in my critiques.
In these Hotspots, I'm going to be asking some really tough questions (and helping you answer them). It's not going to be easy and it's probably not going to be terribly comfortable.
If you've got your goals, your systems, and your business sorted — this isn't for you.
And if your cashflow is really tight, this isn't for you either. I don't want anyone getting into financial difficulties in order to do this, because that won't do you any good at all.
If you're doing okay business-wise, however, but feel stuck in a rut, like you're floundering, you're stuck for ideas, and you need a thorough going-over – you can apply below.
I know not everyone will want or be able to afford a Hotspot though, so there are 25 workshop-only tickets available here.
In a nutshell, I'm going to work with you to dig right into the meat of your business and put together an action plan that'll get you closer to your goals.
Plus, the workshops themselves will help you get to the bottom of what really makes you different. What makes you and your business totally unique – because it's the biggest thing I see business owners struggling with.
Most have great products and services, and do an amazing job… but you'd never know, because they blend into the background with everyone else.
Because standing out is scary.
No more blending in. No more being afraid to stick your head above the parapet. I will hold your hand and help you craft a shield of steel (like Batfink).
Well, we're all totally overloaded with information and one thing I didn't want to do was simply overload you with more information.
There are plenty of bootcamp-type events out there, where you can listen to people talk from a stage all day. I didn't want to do that.
What I want is for you to come to the event, learn a new skill, put it into practice at the event, and take something new away with you.
So it's not going to be me stood at the front of the room talking at you for two days. Nor am I going to have an endless stream of guest speakers talking at you.
Instead, there'll be a couple of presentations — because you do need some background information — but we're going to spend two days hammering out your USP, your message, your brand, and — to some extent — your voice.
As well as your Hotspot, you'll be doing practical exercises in groups and on your own, and you will come away with a new skill — including the one, unique, wonderful thing that makes you completely different from everyone else in your industry.
Not only that, but you'll be able to articulate it clearly, too.
So, what's the price of a VIP Hotspot ticket? £1,250 + VAT.
Simply fill in your details below, book your VIP Hotspot ticket, then follow the instructions carefully. I'll be sending you an email with a link to an application form.
After that, you simply sit back and wait for me to send you further information – and I'll see you in November!

Pine Tree Pollen, Natural Hormones for All-male Tilapia Culture
by oneexpert | Dec 27, 2018 | STII-Bridge
A raw pine pollen is the richest seedbed of male hormone, the testosterone derived from plants. Its effect is known to be a sex reversal hormone for fishes.
The pine pollen of a pine tree could change the sex of tilapia. A new study of the Central Luzon State University (CLSU) under the National Tilapia Research and Development Program has tested the pollen from pine trees may reverse the hormone of popular fish.
Producing all-male tilapia for breeding is desired because the female fish in the presence of the male. The use of pine pollen trees in its unprocessed condition (pollen has a protective cover) enables the change of sex of young fished used for breeding, turning in 84.59-90.46% males, according to the CLSU study.
The project titled "Phytoandrogen: An Alternative Natural Androgen Similar to Testosterone on Sex Inversion and its Effectiveness in Monosex Culture of Nile Tilapia."
The use of pine pollen technology in tilapia sex change eliminates health hazards previously associated with all-male tilapia production. It is an environment friendly approach and could be an alternative to the use of high-priced standard hormone in sex change. In the event of a ban of this standard hormone, the pine pollen technology could replace it. More importantly, the pine pollen technology does not cause deposit of harmful chemicals onto the soil of the pond. Using this natural product contributes to improving management and standard practices of tilapia culture.
Pine pollens are the male part of the pine tree. A raw pine pollen is the richest seedbed of male hormone, the testosterone derived from plants. Its effect is known to be a sex reversal hormone for fishes. In the Philippines, the most common Pine Tree is the Benguet Pine (Pinuskesiya). This tree is commonly found in cold and elevated areas like Baguio City, hence it is called the "City of Pines".
The male and the female reproductive organs are found in the same tree. Producing a new pine tree plant is by wind where the yellow powder pine pollen is carried by the wind and contacts the female seed. The male and female flowers of pine trees appear during the cool dry season from December and become ripe in March.
Female fish and amphibians living downstream from pine pulp mills develop male sex organs and other male characteristics due to the high levels of male hormone, androgens, in the water. Pine pollen is easily absorbed by the body when taken in powder or in liquid form dissolved in alcohol.
Under the CLSU study, the young fish with no identified sex is fed with different concentrations of pine pollen dissolved in alcohol for 28 days. For example, 40 milligrams of pine pollen are added and soaked with 62.5 milliliters of alcohol. After seven days of soaking, the filtered liquid is added to 125 grams of commercial feed, fry mash.
The feed with the pine pollen solution is air dried and fed to the young fish for 28 days. The feed with pine pollen solution is given six to eight times per day. After the 28th day, the fish fed with pine pollen solution is transferred to a bigger area and allowed to grow bigger. The number of males are checked by visually looking at the hole in the belly. The male has two holes, one rounded and one pointed hole, and the female has three holes. There are difficult cases of identifying the sex by just looking at the belly. Therefore, the belly is cut and the reproductive organ is seen under the microscope.

Newly retired and with money in his bank account just waiting to be spent, Brian Slater and his wife set off for France, determined to buy their dream cottage. But it wasn't to prove as easy as they hoped.
In this amusing - at times farcical - account of the trials and tribulations of buying and renovating an old house, the author pokes fun at both the French and the English - but, most of all, at himself.

I met Rob Wilson of RCWS consulting at the DAM London conference last summer, where he talked about digital identifiers. He has long career working on information architecture for range of organisations and industry standards bodies, including the ultimately doomed e-GMS project, which was an attempt to unify government metadata standards for sharing and interoperability.
Identifiers are a hot topic at the moment, and so I was pleased Rob was willing to talk to me and some of my colleagues about some of the problems and attempts at solving them in the wider industry. Rob described the need for stable and persistent IDs for asset management and that this is not a new problem but one that has been worked on by various groups for many years. He distinguished between ID management and metadata management, pointing out that metadata may change but the ID of an asset can be kept stable. In just the same way that managing metadata as a distinct element of content is important, so IDs need to be managed as distinct from other metadata.
Rob is an independent consultant and has no commercial affiliation with the EIDR content asset identifier system, but suggested it is a robust model in many ways. The EIDR system embeds IDs within asset files, using a combination of steganography, strong encryption, and watermarking and "triangulation" of combined aspects to create a single ID. The idea is that the ID is so deeply ingrained and fragmented within the structure of the file that it cannot easily be removed and can be recovered from a small fraction of the file – e.g. if someone takes a clip from a video, the "parent" ID is discoverable from the clip. Rob thought the EIDR system was better than digital rights management (DRM) methods, which rely on trying to prevent distribution, and "locking" content after a certain amount of time or use, which gives an incentive to everyone who has such content to try to break the DRM system. If an individual can still access their illegally held content despite the ID, they have little incentive to try to remove the ID.
The system does not try to prevent theft from source, but helps to prove when copyright has been breached, because the ID – the ownership – remains within the file. It is intended as a tool to deter systematic copyright theft by large organisations, by making legal cases easy to win. Large organisations typically have the funds, or insurances, to cover large claims, unlike individuals, so it is unlikely to be cost-effective to pursue individuals.
The EIDR system also has an ID resolver that manages rights and supply authentication (as well as ownership) so that when content is accessed, the system checks that the appropriate rights and licences have been obtained before delivery.
Rob also outlined the elements of information architecture that need to be considered for unified organisational information management – establish standards, develop models, devise policies, select tools, maintain governance, etc. He emphasised that IDs are not a "silver bullet" to solve all issues, but that if a few problematic key use cases are known, they can be investigated to see if robust federated ID management architecture would help.

As stated in my Singapore blog, first I went to Singapore, then left to see fireworks for New Years in Kuala Lumpur, then cruised around in Vietnam with my old lab mate Binh Nguyen, and finally returned to Singapore to visit Enrico Marsili at Nanyang Technological University. If you are interested in hearing about Singapore and phosphorous, check out the Singapore blog! Unlike my other blogs where I start with science and move into my thoughts during my visit, this blog starts with my thoughts and ends with my lab visit. For those of you that are here strictly for the science, please skip to the end of this blog where you will find a story and description of my visit to Hanoi University of Science and Technology in Vietnam.
While sitting in my hostel in Singapore, after walking around most of the city, I decided that I was ready to move onto another city. However, having planned very little of the Southeast Asia leg of my trip in advance (other than Vietnam and Singapore), I was left in a bit of a pickle. I could go to the Philippines and visit a farm or a major city; however, I would not have very much time there before I needed to return to visit Vietnam. Also, a plane on such short notice might be costly. To determine where I was to visit for New Years, I took to the internet to investigate which city in Southeast Asia had themost spectacular fireworks show. Much to my chagrin, I noticed that Singapore was on the list so I briefly contemplated the idea of extending my stay in Singapore for another few days.
New Years in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!
However, determined to explore a new place in a new country, I kept skimming through the page until I discovered that the show in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is also ranked as one of themost spectacular in the world. As an added bonus, there are so manyprivate bus lines between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore that one leaves practically every fifteen minutes and can cost as little as ~$12USD. The ten hour bus ride is quite practical and is relatively painless when booking an overnight bus since you can leave late in the evening and wake up when you arrive in Kuala Lumpur (and as an added bonus, you do not have to pay for the cost of staying in a hostel that night).
Upon arriving in Kuala Lumpur, I walked a few blocks to my hostel and was greeted by friendly guy from the USA. He was born in Mississippi or South Carolina –somewhere in the south- and allowed me to check-in 'early'. In other words, he allowed me to check-in at 6AM so that I could make up for the sleep I missed on the bus (I'm no good at sleeping on buses). When I woke up, I had a conversation with him and he explained to me his living situation for the last year.
He had decided that the career he had back home was not satisfying. He was tired of working multiple part time jobs to make ends meet in order to merely maintain the quality of life or standard of living that has been determined is 'acceptable' for most residents of the USA. He, like over 76 million adults in the USA (~31%), was living a life in which he worked all day every day so that he could acquire enough sustenance to not die. Until one day he decided that he was finished with that life. He took the little money he had saved and invested it into a plane ticket to Kuala Lumpur. Once in Kuala Lumpur, he started working for the hostel since they could provide him with room and board. Then, he found a job in town teaching English making about $15 an hour. To put this into perspective, it costs about %40 less to live in Kuala Lumpur and have the same standard of living as a person in Phoenix, AZ; or 55% less to live in Kuala Lumpur vs the cost to live in New York City. This person spends four to five months of his life working full-time as an English teacher in Kuala Lumpur, where he has the relatively samequality of life as a citizen of the USA, lives in a hostel, and gets to spend the other seven to eight months of his life travelling around Southeast Asia. He decided to leave the stresses of middle class American life behind and this is the life he found for himself.
This reminds me of a conversation I had in the United States when I was purchasing a cell phone from a store in Mesa, AZ. This was after I had returned to Mesa, AZ and I was telling her about #ScienceTheEarth. She mentioned to me that she could never do anything like my trip because her life always had to have a plan. I told her the story about this man I met in Kuala Lumpur, he had a plan - the same plan that she had - to go to his dead end jobs in the USA to barely scrape enough money together to make ends meet. Then, he walked away from the 'plan' to pursue something that did not make him feel like he was working for the sake of survival.
This is our dilemma. Somehow, we have convinced ourselves that having a job and paying the bills merely for survival is a viable 'plan'. We have convinced ourselves of this because it is what we have been told our whole lives. Not having a job, not working every day, not paying the bills, that's what losers do. But you, you're gonna be a winner, and the way to be a winner is to blindly clock in at multiple jobs every day to make sure you procure enough resources to survive. And how cliché is it to hear someone ask you if you are really 'living' and not just alive? Yet, this is exactly what many of us have convinced ourselves is our lot in life. Our purpose, our passion, etc… that's for some other place and some other time. We are encouraged to not entertain ourselves in the naivety of our dreams, but rather to root ourselves in the harsh reality that is the struggle for a paycheck in a world of limited resources.
And why? Who set these rules? It is not sustainable to dupe ourselves into believing that we have to work for the sake of escaping work- that the activities with which we occupy ourselves on the day to day serve no greater purpose than allowing us to procure the resources necessary to escape that life. Rather, the actions that we do on the day to day, the work itself, that ought to be our ends. Why live most of your life for the sake of the hope that you may one day have the means to escape that life?
It is not nonsense that we ought to enjoy the time we spend on this Earth. It is nonsense that we expect to dislike most of it for the sake of escaping what it is we do not enjoy. This fear of the 'non-plan', or really, this fear of what may happen to your mind if left to its own devises, is a false one. You have no greater asset than your mind and there is no greater manifestation of this asset than discovering what it is that is your plan.
We are not here to hope for a better place; we are here to be in the better place for which we hope. We ought, in every moment, to work to make that better place tangible. For through that work, our hopes will manifest as our present reality.

The next time you think about how much you dislike your job or feel that resentment for not getting the benefits you deserve from your employer, the next time you convince yourself that it is somehow noble to hate your day to day tasks, but perform them anyway merely to acquire sustenance; I want you to remember the story about the dude from the USA. The dude who left it all behind to find a better quality of life, doing something he loves in a place he loves doing it. Not because his plan was to sell a phone or pay a bill, but because his plan was to start enjoying what he did. He found that place and I can think of nothing more noble than that.
After visiting Malaysia, I boarded my flight for Vietnam. In Vietnam, I was to be staying with an old colleague of mine from the Biodesign Institute named Binh Nguyen. After finding my way to Binh's high rise apartment, I unloaded my stuff and proceeded to sleep on the floor of his living room on a bamboo mat which he provided for me. Before visitingHanoi University of Science and Technology to give my seminar, I had a few days to pop around town. Binh was occupied with his job managing workers in a clothes knitting factory, so I ventured out on my own. He suggested that I visit the Old Quarter since this is the area of town which is most frequented by tourists.
The traffic in Hanoi is absolutely insane (on the level with India), so there was no way I was going to rent a car or attempt to drive myself. Therefore, to reach the Old Quarter I had to take a series of buses which was quite difficult to navigate on account of all of the signs being written in Vietnamese. In addition, Vietnam was one of the only countries in the world in which I did not have cell phone reception so my phone was not very helpful. This is when I learned of the friendliness of the Vietnamese.
All the buses I boarded in the city had two employees working them- one to drive and one to collect money and point people in the direction of their seat. I walked up to the person taking the money and asked how to get to a location which I pointed to on a paper map. He looked a little confused. I pointed to the place again. He briefly glanced back in recognition. He then proclaimed something loudly in Vietnamese so that the whole bus could hear- a nice young woman raised her hand. He pointed at her and said "you follow." And so I did.
Nguyễn Hồng Hạnh and her friend Ngô Ngọc Anh had not met many Americans in Vietnam. When Nguyễn Hồng Hạnh talked with me on the bus, she was eager to show me the little village (Đình Bảng Village) where Ngô Ngọc Anh and she were raised. They showed me around a bunch of temples, many of which had been rebuilt since they were destroyed in the Vietnam War. After exploring the city for a few hours, they took me to a eat Che Thai (a Vietnamese fruit cocktail). Together, we all talked about a variety of topics from growing up to eating food and her engagement with her husband to be. Vietnam has a very similar custom to other Asian countries like India and Pakistan in which women often marry younger- her friend was much less traditional and was waiting until she had a more established career before she was to get married.
What I took from this experience was how comfortable everyone was with expressing sentiment that was very personal with one another despite that we had met only one day prior. That everyone trusted one another enough to meet in this city, to share food, and to discuss topics which were of importance in their lives. It started with a simple need for directions and continued through a shared trust and a shared desire to communicate across cultural boundaries. By starting conversations with trust, we enable ourselves to find connections that otherwise would be completely lost. There is no way to plan for experiences like this- this is not a tourist attraction, you cannot pay for it. It's genuine moments like these that help me realize just how eager the rest of the world is to say hello.
In Old Quarter Hanoi, I found a place to purchase a boat cruise in Halong Bay that was ~$80USD for two days including room, food, kayaking, hiking, swimming, and a cave tour. I took the deal. While sitting on the boat cruise in Halong Bay, I met a Chilean couple that was traveling together. Making small talk, they asked me who I was and what it is I am doing. I told them that I am a traveling scientist that is visiting universities, research centers, and institutions around the Earth to tell the narrative of science as a collaborative force which unites our global community in a quest for knowledge for the purpose of solving the world's largest societal problems. I informed them that I teach about sustainability concepts, microbial fuels cells, and the quest for human knowledge.
One of them had an instant retort which clearly expressed hostility towards my actions. Pondering the reason for this hostility, I sat and listened. She had a PhD in neuroscience and was convinced that there was nothing I could do to change the world. She insisted that scientists were all helpless to an insurmountable system ran by large oil corporations and private investors. That the corruption in the system was what ran the show and the mere idea of suggesting otherwise was a farce. She mentioned that this belief is what led her to leave the sciences and become a professional party planner where she no longer had to worry about the sources of her funding or fear retaliation from large companies in terms of limiting funding if she discovered certain results. She made it very clear that her attempts at changing the system in the past had led her to an unfruitful conclusion, but did not expand on what had happened, when, and who was involved.
We had a series of exchanges along these lines- nothing out of line or anything like that. She was clearly as passionate about her helplessness and pessimism as I was about my hope and optimism. I understand how it is she feels. I think a lot of us feel this way. Although the election of the current POTUS no doubt exacerbates this feeling of hopelessness, it is by no means its progenitor. We know that large corporations like big pharma and big oil control a lot of the wealth in the world. And we know that there is a lot of political and corporate influence which perpetuates this status quo. And this is precisely why we cannot afford to leave the sciences to encourage lives of complacency and hedonism.
This is the time that we need scientists the most. Science educators have an important role to play in informing the public about how the facts and data we collect influence and enhance their quality and quantity of life. That as scientists, we can no longer afford to be passive observers and that we must use our facts to take political action. To advocate science, we do not only need scientists sitting in a lab- we need to talk to people of all ways of life to encourage our message. There is no reason why a person collecting signatures for a ballot cannot be collecting signatures for science. But to encourage this work, to have this influence, we must choose to persist in science.
As humans, we ought to enjoy our work all of the time. However, this goal is unrealistic- there are always going to be troubled times or rough days. However, I think it is realistic that we can expect to put ourselves in a situation where we enjoy our work most of the time. After all, we cannot expect to feel fulfilled if we seldom or never enjoy our work. And for this, we cannot allow ourselves to perform menial tasks simply to collect a paycheck. For in this instance, a paycheck is nothing more than an empty promise that performing a task we dislike today will inevitably lead to performing a task we do like tomorrow. Rather, the pleasure of our labor ought to come in the day to day task of performing it and we ought to enjoy our tasks for the satisfaction of performing them rather than the satisfaction of escaping them.
For this sentiment, she accused me of purporting a Marxist philosophy which is not necessarily true. Rather than collecting capital in terms strictly monetary gains, we can obtain individual and emotional capital by discovering who it is we are and what it is in ourselves that we have to offer to ourselves and to others so that we can dictate the direction we take in our daily tasks. I would argue that my philosophies have significantly more to do with transcendentalism than they do Marxism; for transcendentalism is an almost wholly American philosophical construct which holds the triumph of the individual as self-sustaining and self-reliant as its paramount motivation. In this context, we can perceive profit as a self-identified person gaining wisdom from insight and experience.
With this intellectual capital, we can understand ourselves and place as a means to discover our passions and actualize the world as we want it to be. And then we can use our individual passions to generate collective visions and form a community and culture of passionate positive social actors. Certainly, political and corporate actors pull a lot of strings- the real question is, what do you choose to do about it?
Alas, for those of you whom have read the blog in its entirety and for those that decided to skip to the bottom, welcome to the section where I fill you in on the latest and greatest research from Hanoi University of Science and Technology in Vietnam. During my visit here, I gave a presentation about bioelectrochemistry. The students here were eager to learn; unfortunately many of them had great difficulty in understanding my English. Fortunately, Binh chose to give a presentation directly after mine in Vietnamese.
Binh Nguyen is a former research of my former lab that was working diligently on improving and developing a bio-refinery containing photosynthetic bacteria that simultaneously sequester carbon dioxide from the environment while generating lipids which can be extracted to produce fuel. The main focus of the project is to develop a carbon neutral biotechnology which converts the CO2 in the atmosphere into the long chain carbon compounds necessary to create fuel. This would allow humans to continue using a relatively similar fuel infrastructure to the one already in existence. However, since the materials for the development of the fuel are the same as the material produced by burning the fuel (CO2), the utilization of carbon based fuels becomes carbon neutral. He aims to improve this process by enhancing the growth rates and lipid recovery from the microorganisms responsible for the bio-refinery process. You may remember hearing about similar research in previous blogs fromPoland, Germany (why the DSMZ is starting to collect more photosynthetic microorganisms), andIsrael. Jonathan Trent gives a comprehensive overview (using similar but different microorganisms) via a TedTalk below.
For more information about the photosynthetic cyanobacteria based fuel production plant that Joule plans to install in New Mexico, USA, check out Biofuels Digest or their profile on Bloomberg. For more information about the lab of Bruce Rittmann, where Binh conducted his research, visit the lab website.
Dr. Thi Thai Yen Doan is a longtime friend and collaborator of Dr. Binh Nguyen who has also looked at ways to optimize lipid extraction from microalgae based biorefineries. In addition, Dr. Yen is seeking to compliment the production of carbon neutral fuel from photosynthetic microorganisms with the removal of nutrients from agricultural pig and meat farm waste. As discussed in previous blogs from Singapore, Austria, Spain, and Switzerland, nutrients found in manure including carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous can have lasting harmful impacts on the environment since it leads to the growth of unwanted microorganisms and eventually eutrophication.
Dr. Yen, Doan Thai (left) and Binh Nguyen (right). Tube in the back are lab scale pig slurry reactors that are used when coupling the growth of Chlorella with BNR and lipid production.
For this reason, it is important to develop technologies that can either recover these nutrients or remove them. However, Dr. Yen's research seeks to hijack the process of eutrophication and turn it on its head. Rather than suffer from the consequences of uncontrolled growth of photosynthetic microorganisms in the environment, she exploits the nutrient rich slurry to grow the photosynthetic microorganisms she wants in bio-reactors. In this way, she not only generates carbon based fuel from carbon sequestration, she also develops that fuel while simultaneously performing biological nutrient removal (BNR). Right now, a big challenge is finding the right nutrient balance to consistently grow the photosynthetic microorganisms, but as shown with companies like Joule,Heliae, and OriginClear Petro (to name a very few)- commercialization is very imminent.

But which mother? Elizabeth worked as a sales lady before her marriage. Her mother-in-law, Anna Louise Ross Summers, who lived with Elizabeth and Charles D. Summers, worked as a seamstress and dressmaker.
James and his brother Frederick Fugle (b. abt. 1845) were English; James emigrated in 1867 and Frederick three years later. James may have been the "James Fuggle," "draper's assistant," born in Sevenoaks, Kent, listed in the 1851 and 1861 censuses of England. They may have been the sons of Sevenoaks tailor Samuel Fuggle (b abt. 1800). The houses where they lived, "Taylor's Cottages," on 55 Akehurst Lane, Sevenoaks, are still in existence.
Advertisements from the 1870s and 1880s call for skilled "cloakmakers"–seamstresses–and cloth-cutters to work in their shop, so they were not only selling but producing ladies' clothing.
The Fugles became wealthy enough to travel to Europe, and to keep a summer home in the Waverly area of Baltimore County.
James Fugle died at his Arlington, New Jersey home of pneumonia in February 1910, and is buried in Baltimore's Green Mount Cemetery.
He and his wife, Laura Walsh Fugle, had three children: Hellen ("Nellie;" later Mrs. George D. Thompson); Frederick Walsh Fugle, who settled in Montclair, New Jersey, married Nellie LaSalle Canton, daughter of sculptor John LaSalle, and worked in a paper and twine business; and Edyth, who married Canadian furrier George K. Campbell and settled in Kearny, New Jersey.
James and his brother Fred C. Fugle apparently parted ways, and Frederick did not share in the prosperity of his elder brother. He remained in Baltimore, employed in a series of sales jobs.
Fugle thought well enough of "mother" to give her a portrait of himself. It's a classic Bachrach portrait of the early 20th century: a dignified head and shoulders against a tasteful neutral background, on the new larger mount–cut down, no doubt to fit in the album.


A 15-year veteran of Telemundo's New York O&O who began his tenure at the NBCUniversal-owned Hispanic network as a news department intern in 2001 has just been appointed the station's VP/News.

Q: jquery + table row edit - String problem I've one problem with editing a row... I wanted to use a button to enter edit mode in the table (generated from php array (data taken from mysql))
I have two rows for each data:

                    <?=$row->id; ?>
                    <?=$row->pl>0 ? '
' . $row->pl .'
' : '
' . $row->pl . '
';?>

<?=$row->reason;?>

<?=$row->comment;?>

<?=$row->cdate; ?>
<?=$row->ctime; ?>

<?=$row->mdate; ?>
<?=$row->mtime; ?>

                    <button id="editlink">Edit</button>
                    <button id="deletelink">Delete</button>

                    <form id="<?php echo $row->id;?>">
                    <?php echo $row->id; ?><input type="hidden" name="id" id="id" value="<?php echo $row->id;?>" />
                    <input type="text" id="pl" name="pl" value="<?=$row->pl;?>" />
                    <textarea id="reason" name="reason"><?=$row->reason;?></textarea>
                    <textarea id="comment" name="comment"><?=$row->comment;?></textarea>

<?=$row->cdate; ?>
<?=$row->ctime; ?>

<?=$row->mdate; ?>
<?=$row->mtime; ?>

                    <input id="edit_save" type="Submit" value="Save" />
                    </form>
                    <button id="cancellink">Cancel</button>

I attached two jquery statements to it ...
1st. one ... changes the row to

    $("#editlink").click(function() {
        var datapos = $(this).parent().parent().prevAll().length;
        var editpos = datapos + 1;

        $("#data_table tbody tr:eq(" + datapos + ")").hide();
        $("#data_table tbody tr:eq(" + editpos + ")").show();
    });

Works perfectly.
2nd. Suppose to save (POST to PHP script) once the change has been done and reload the page.
    $("#edit_save").click(function() {
        var dataString = $("form").serialize();

        var editpos = $(this).parent().parent().prevAll().length;
        var datapos = editpos - 1;

        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "edit",
            data: dataString,
            success: function() {
                $("#lightbox").fadeIn(900);
                $("#notification-box").show();
                $("#notification-box").html("<img src='<?php base_url();?>img/notification.gif'>
Saving
");

            location.reload();
            }
        });
    });

So, the issue I have here is that the dataString is a value of all values generated in the table not the specific row I wanted to edit.
I would be really glad if someone can help me with that.
Cheers,
/Jacek

A: $("form") would fetch all <form> elements in the page, you need the clicked button parent form: $(this).parent('form'):
var dataString = $(this).parent('form').serialize();

When to Register a Trademark for Your Business
When to Register a Trademark
Category: Protecting Your Ideas
As individuals, we take a number of steps to protect ourselves, such as buying health, car and homeowner's or renter's insurance. As a business owner, are you taking the necessary steps to protect your business and its assets? Business owners often don't think of their company name, product or service names as an asset, but they often are.
Trademark registration as protection
One way to protect these names is to register a trademark. A trademark is one of three legal terms used to describe "intellectual property," the others being patent and copyright. Whereas patents and copyrights are basically used to protect the commercial rights of inventors and creators of artistic or literary works, respectively, the basic concept behind a trademark or service mark is to prevent unfair competition.
Advantages of registering a trademark
Although registration is not mandatory for trademark protection, trademarks on the USPTO Principal Register receive significantly stronger protection than unregistered or "common-law" marks. Advantages of that protection, as defined by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), include:
Constructive notice to the public of the registrant's claim of ownership of the mark
A legal presumption of the registrant's ownership of the mark and the registrant's exclusive right to use the mark nationwide on or in connection with the goods and/or services listed in the registration
The ability to bring action concerning the mark in federal court
The use of the US registration as a basis to obtain registration in foreign countries
The ability to file the US registration with the US Customs Service to prevent importation of infringing foreign goods
Use of trademark symbols during and after the registration process
Only after the USPTO has granted your trademark "registered" status are you permitted to use the federal registration symbol, which is ®, which signifies that your mark is listed on the USPTO Principal Register and protected nationally from use by others. This process generally takes 10-12 months from time of application to confirmation of acceptance, and use of the ® is not permitted during this time. The TM and SM symbols, for trademark and service mark respectively, are used instead while a USPTO application is pending, just as they are for state-registered and common-law marks.
Renewing a trademark
Once registered by the USPTO, the mark can be renewed indefinitely. Current regulations require renewal of a trademark every 10 years.
The USPTO only grants trademarks within the United States. There are patent and trademark agencies in other countries throughout the world that grant registered trademarks offering similar advantages to owners of trademarks used in international trade.
Keep in mind, as you are choosing your company, product and service names and/or logos that the more unique and descriptive they are, the better your chance of being granted a registered trademark on that term or design.

Q: What is the best data structure and algorithm in this situation? I have a program that is just one big for loop. I first have an empty set. On each iteration of the for loop I need to peek and remove the minimum value from the set. Also in each iteration I can add anywhere from 0 to 8 values to the set(values are random). Which built in Java data structure should I use? I considered doing a bubble sort with an ArrayList and just taking out the first index. I'm am looking for the the fastest algorithm to accomplish this task.

A: Try PriorityQueue. It provides O(log(n)) time for the insertion methods (add(), remove()); constant time for the retrieval methods(size(), peek()).


Fahrenheit is delighted to present GLMAOUR, an extensive installation produced by Renaud Jerez (b. 1982 in Narbonne, France; lives and works in Berlin), in collaboration with artist Anina Troesch (b. 1987 in Emmental, Switzerland; lives and works in Frankfurt am Main) and writer Hardy Hill (b. 1993 in Wilmington, Delaware; lives and works in Los Angeles). It is the result of a one-month collaborative working process, realized on-site at Fahrenheit. Using soft material such as industrial fabrics, clothing, bandage and foam, the exhibition proposes a critical reflection the appropriation of popular culture's images in attempts to interpret their destination. The raw materiality, human appearance (or disappearance) and an elaborate sense of the grotesque in the exhibition address the Californian culture of comfort and its mass cultural production.

Q: In JavaScript there an elegant way to merge two Objects and sum any common properties? I'm deduping a large array of Objects, many of which have some properties in common. All of the properties are integers.
It's trivially easy to loop through the keys and merge manually, but I can't help but feel like there's some combination of Object.assign and map and reduce that could do this is one line. As the language matures, it seems worth staying ahead of the curve.
EDIT: As an example:
let A = {
  "a": 10,
  "e": 2,
  "g": 14
}

let B = {
  "b": 3,
  "e": 15,
  "f": 1,
  "g": 2,
  "h": 11
}

let C = Object.magicMerge(A, B)

/*
{
  "a": 10,
  "e": 17,
  "g": 16
  "b": 3,
  "f": 1,
  "h": 11
}
*/

A: There isn't really any shortcut in vanilla JS, you have to explicitly iterate through each object and each property, and sum them up somehow. One option is to group with reduce:

const arr = [{
  foo: 1,
  bar: 2
}, {
  bar: 5,
  baz: 7
}, {
  baz: 10,
  buzz: 10
}];

const combined = arr.reduce((a, obj) =>
  Object.entries(obj).reduce((a, [key, val]) => {
    a[key] = (a[key] || 0) + val;
    return a;
  }, a)
, {});

console.log(combined);

I prefer reduce because the outer combined variable, once created, is not mutated within its scope, but you can use for..of instead if you wish:

const arr = [{
  foo: 1,
  bar: 2
}, {
  bar: 5,
  baz: 7
}, {
  baz: 10,
  buzz: 10
}];

const combined = {};
for (const obj of arr) {
  for (const [key, val] of Object.entries(obj)) {
    combined[key] = (combined[key] || 0) + val;
  }
}

console.log(combined);

A: Here's something without loops/reduce:
let C = Object.fromEntries(
    Object.keys(A)
        .concat(Object.keys(B))
        .map(k => [k,
            (A[k] || 0) + (B[k] || 0)
        ])
)

And here's a generic function for any number of objects:
let mergeSum = (...objs) => Object.fromEntries(
    Array.from(
        new Set(objs.flatMap(Object.keys)),
        k => [k,
            objs
                .map(o => o[k] || 0)
                .reduce((a, b) => a + b)
        ]))

C = mergeSum(A, B)

or even more generic:
let mergeReduce = (objs, fn, init) => Object.fromEntries(
    Array.from(
        new Set(objs.flatMap(Object.keys)),
        k => [k, objs.map(o => o[k]).reduce(fn, init)]
    ));

// for example:

sumOfProps = mergeReduce([A, B],
    (a, b) => (a || 0) + (b || 0))

listOfProps = mergeReduce([A, B],
    (a, b) => b ? a.concat(b) : a,
    [])

A: I would do like:

function objTotals(array){
  const r = {};
  array.forEach(o => {
    for(let i in o){
      if(!(i in r))r[i] = 0;
    }
  });
  for(let i in r){
    array.forEach(o => {
      if(i in o)r[i]+=o[i];
    });
  }
  return r;
}
const a = [{a:0, b:2, c:5, d:1, e:2}, {a:1, b:3}, {a:5, b:7, c:4}, {a:2, b:1, c:9, d:11}];
console.log(objTotals(a));

A: I would do it in this way:

const a = { "a": 10, "e": 2, "g": 14 };
const b = { "b": 3, "e": 15, "f": 1, "g": 2, "h": 11 };

const sum = [...Object.entries(a), ...Object.entries(b)]
  .reduce(
    (acc, [key, val]) => ({ ...acc, [key]: (acc[key] || 0) + val }),
    {}
  );
console.log("sum:", sum);

One liner as you asked :)
In my opinion it is most elegant way to do that.

A: Yeah, seems to me you're going to need to merge the keys then merge the objects. Tried for a simpler solution, but this one (while longer than I like) does the job, and for any number of objects.

const object1 = {
  a: 4,
  c: 2.2,
  d: 43,
  g: -18
}, object2 = {
  b: -22.4,
  c: 14,
  d: -42,
  f: 13.3
};

// This will take any number of objects, and create
//  a single array of unique keys.
const mergeKeys = (objects)=>{
  let keysArr = objects.reduce((acc, object)=>{
    acc.push(...Object.keys(object));
    acc = [...new Set(acc.sort() )];
    return acc;
  }, []);
  return keysArr;
}

/***
 * this first gets the unique keys, then creates a
 *   merged object. Each object is checked for each
 *   property, and if it exists, we combine them.
 *   if not, we simply keep the current value.
 *
 ***/
const combineAnyNumberOfObjects = (...objects)=>{
  const keys = mergeKeys(objects),
        returnObj = {};
  keys.forEach(key=>{
    returnObj[key]=0;
    objects.forEach(object=>{
      returnObj[key] = !!object[key] ? returnObj[key]+object[key] : returnObj[key]
    })
  })

  return returnObj;
}

console.log(combineAnyNumberOfObjects(object1, object2));

As you said, trivially easy to merge and manually add each prop. The one line answer above? Beautiful. ;)

Eagles Hockey Results
March 7, 2010 admin Athletics
The Eagles girls defeated Kenora 2-1 to sweep the NorWOSSA finals and earn themselves a trip to the OFSAA championship in Wingham on March 22nd.
The DHS Boys Hockey team fell to the Fort Frances Muskies in 2 straight games this weekend in the NorWOSSA finals.
On Friday night, the Eagles displayed a "never say die" attitude, battling back three times from deficits to send the game into overtime. Despite dominating the play in the Muskie end for most of the OT period, FF scored on a partial breakaway at the 15:23 mark of the first OT period. Zach Lake once again made some key saves in the game despite recording the loss. Goal scorers for the Eagles were Ryan Lobreau with two while Jared Stratford and Blair Dingwall added singles in the 5-4 OT loss.
"We had several golden opportunities late in the third to break the tie but sometimes the puck just doesn't bounce your way and putting the finish on the game is tough." said Coach Oltsher, "Our message to the boys before OT was to keep up the hard fore-check and to minimize their mistakes. It was unfortunate that FF capitalized on such a small error…but hey, that's hockey."
On Sunday, the Eagles just didn't have the wheels to pull of the win. FF scored on the power-play twice in the game and added an empty net to win by a 3-0 margin.
"Their goalie played well, but we didn't test him often enough. Our fore check wasn't as good as it was on Friday and FF seemed to play a better defensive game this afternoon." said Oltsher, "Despite this, our guys didn't give up and they left it all on the ice. The coaching staff is very proud of our team and would like to congratulate them on a very successful season despite finishing in second place."
Congratulations to both teams for your hard work and great seasons.
Good luck at OFSAA, girls!

Most people don't know it, but there were actually tons and tons of mainstream articles written in newspapers in the 1800's and early 1900's reporting that giant human skeletons have been found.
This is an avalanche of credible information about giant human skeletons. So where did the skeletons go?
This is the article published about 4 giant skeletons. It isn't the only one of its kind.
On this archive website, it is even possible to find a list of old articles from the 1800's about giants. Keep in mind these are mainstream articles from when today's outlets were in their infancy, from outlets such as the New York Times or London Globe. According to rules of credibility imposed on us by the mainstream paradigm, this is the epitome of credible.

Scientists Pinpoint Saturn With Exquisite Accuracy
Scientists have paired NASA's Cassini spacecraft with the National Science Foundation's Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) radio-telescope system to pinpoint the position of Saturn and its family of moons to within about 2 miles (4 kilometers). The measurement is some 50 times more precise than those provided by ground-based optical telescopes. The feat improves astronomers' knowledge of Saturn's orbit and benefits spacecraft navigation and basic physics research.
The team of researchers used the VLBA -- a giant array of radio-telescope antennas spread from Hawaii to the Virgin Islands -- to pinpoint the position of Cassini as it orbited Saturn over the past decade by receiving the signal from the spacecraft's radio transmitter. They combined this data with information about Cassini's orbit from NASA's Deep Space Network. The combined observations allowed the scientists to make the most accurate determinations yet of the position of the center of mass, or barycenter, of Saturn and its numerous moons.
The study team included researchers from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Socorro, New Mexico. The scientists are presenting the results of their work today at the American Astronomical Society's meeting in Seattle.
The new measurement was made possible by two factors: Cassini's long-term presence in the Saturn system and the VLBA's ability to discern extremely fine detail. The result is a greatly improved table of predicted positions of objects in the Saturn system, known as an ephemeris. An ephemeris is one of the basic tools of astronomy.
"This work is a great step toward tying together our understanding of the orbits of the outer planets of our solar system and those of the inner planets," said Dayton Jones of JPL, who led the study.
The improved positional information will help enhance precise navigation of interplanetary spacecraft and help refine measurements of the masses of solar system objects. It will also improve predictions of when Saturn or its rings will pass in front of background stars -- events that provide a variety of research opportunities for astronomers.
VLBA measurements of Cassini's position have even helped scientists who seek to make ever-more-stringent tests of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity by observing small changes in the apparent positions of actively feeding black holes, or quasars, as Saturn appears to pass in front of them on the sky.
Cassini's navigation team, charged with plotting the spacecraft's course around Saturn, began using new positional information provided by the ongoing study in 2013. The new ephemeris has enabled them to design better maneuvers for the spacecraft, leading to mission-enhancing savings in propellant. Previously, the navigators performed their own estimates of the positions of Saturn and its satellites using data gleaned by tracking Cassini's radio signal during its communications with Earth. The new calculations, enhanced by VLBA data, are about 20 times more accurate.
Jones and colleagues plan to continue the joint observations with Cassini and the VLBA through the end of Cassini's mission in late 2017. The team plans to use similar techniques to observe the motion of NASA's Juno spacecraft when it reaches Jupiter in mid-2016. They hope to improve the orbital knowledge of that giant planet as well.
JPL, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages the Cassini and Juno missions and the Deep Space Network for NASA. The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is a facility of the National Science Foundation, operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.

Search for the Unicorn
"Search for the Unicorn" is an exhibition at the Cloisters, an arm of the Metropolitan Museum, built in 1937 at the top of Fort Tryon Park at 195th street in Manhattan thanks to a gift from John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The current Bulletin from the Metropolitan Museum is devoted to the Cloisters if you wish to learn more of its history.
It is a magical space where you can actually imagine yourself going back in time to the Middle Ages in Europe. It is the perfect location to imagine the mythical figure of the Unicorn. There is a quote on the wall of the show which I think is perfect. It is from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, " 'Well, now that we have seen each other' said the Unicorn, "'f you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you. Is that a bargain?'"
I have been infatuated with this mythical animal with his white coat and single horn since I was a child when my father took me to the Cloisters where he pointed out all the works of art that had come through the family's hands. But what I liked the most was this group of tapestries, known as the Unicorn Tapestries. They were given by Rockefeller just before the Cloisters opened to the public in 1938. They tell the story of the hunt for the Unicorn and consist of 7 large tapestries made in Flanders around 1500. They represent noblemen and hunters searching for the Unicorn and the maiden who entraps him. There is so much detail that the flora and fauna alone are captivating. (A different series of Unicorn tapestries with a red background exists at the Musée Cluny in Paris.) One of the Met series is the centerpiece for the current exhibition.

The Narwhal is a medium sized whale that lives in the arctic. Narwhal Tusks have been known to grow up to 10 feet long, and were thought to be the horns of Unicorns. As a result they were safeguarded in churches. The Cloisters have one in their collection but there is a larger one on loan for the show from a private collection.

A piece that I particularly liked was a Majolica dish with the coat of arms of Matthias Corvinus (1440-1490) King of Hungry and his second wife, Beatrix of Aragon, a princess from Naples. The symbolism of the sleeping Unicorn in the maiden's lap as she combs him represents the King who has collapsed in the lap of the maiden who will become his wife.
I was surprised to find that the Unicorn could be found in other cultures and religions. In the exhibition there is a silver Torah Crown from Poland made in the 1778,
as well as a page from the Shahnama, the 14th century Book of Kings written in early modern Persian. Since the book has 50,000 verses it had been split up at the beginning of the 20th century. Rosenberg & Stiebel sold one of the volumes for a member of the Rothschild family to a trustee of the Metropolitan Museum who split the book again, giving one half to the Metropolitan and selling the rest. Iran bought a few pages for many times what we had sold the entire book for.
Several of the other objects in the show came through our hands. I know that one came into the Cloisters' collections during my tenure at the firm and this was a wooden box made in the Upper Rhine circa 1300. There are images on both sides of the box but just one of the Unicorn on the left side. There are over 300 works of art from my family in the Met but only a fraction of those were sold directly to the museum. Most came through private collections that were given or bequeathed to the Met. This particular one we sold to a dealer who had closer ties to the museum at the time and she sold it to the museum.
As you walk around the Cloisters you come across still more images of the Unicorn, a frieze over a doorway made in the Auvergne, France in the early 16th century.
and, of course, the six other tapestries from the "Hunt of the Unicorn" series in one room all together, enveloping you in the magic of the Middle Ages.

The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) passed the United States congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2011 and reflects a shift in the government's effort toward food safety. Instead of looking for problems with raw food imports, FSMA calls on import companies to track how food is processed and transported by exporters before it arrives on US soil.
The goal, the Food and Drug Administration explains, is to prevent the potential for food contamination and minimize food recalls in the American supply chain.
To do this, all food facilities covered by the new law must conduct hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls (HARPC) and implement what the government calls "science-based preventive control measures" to reduce the risk of contamination.
FSMA calls on food processors to do two things. First companies must understand how HARPC works and differs from the hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) that many companies currently have in place. HARPC and HACCP are food safety management systems in which raw food products are analyzed for biological, chemical, or physical hazards during production, procurement, handling, manufacturing, distribution, and eventually consumption.
Second, companies must increase their vigilance by incorporating HARPC into their operations. HARPC is much like HACCP yet it focuses on preventive measures to identify and eliminate potential risks to the food supply. Under HARPC, companies must establish and implement science-centered risk-based preventive controls, which extend beyond the critical control points (CCP) required by HACCP.
About 48 million Americans, or one in six, become sick by foodborne illnesses each year, FDA reports. Nearly 130,000 require hospitalization and 3,000 people die. The new law targets imported raw foods, in part, because 15% of the US food supply arrives from other countries and new hazards are being discovered in foods each year.

Q: Get CDATA from BeautifulSoup Python I have a HTML source code with a CDATA tag that has some info I would like to have.
When I try the following:
switch_url = switch_soup.find_all(text=re.compile(('Switches')))

I get this output:
['//<![CDATA[\n    "url":"https://xxxx.meraki.com/xxxxxxx/n/xxxxx/manage/nodes/list","name":"Switches","admin_only":false},{"is_current":false,"url":"https://nxx.meraki.com/xxxxx/n/xxxxx/manage/configure/switchports","name":"Switch ports","admin_only":false},{"is_current":false,"url":"https://xxxx.meraki.com/Dormitory/n/xxxxxxx/manage/configure/dhcp_servers"//]]>\n  ']

How can I acquire the "Switches" url, which is: "https://xxxx.meraki.com/xxxxxxx/n/xxxxx/manage/nodes/list" from the CDATA output?
Thanks in advance!

A: What you need is this
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import re

// source.html contains your html above
f = open('source.html')
soup = BeautifulSoup(''.join(f.readlines()))
cdata = soup.find(text=re.compile("CDATA"))

or you can try this
for script in soup(['script', 'style']):
        script.decompose()

    text = soup.get_text()
    lines = (line.strip() for line in text.splitlines())
    chunks = (phrase.strip() for line in lines for phrase in line.split("  "))
    text = '\n'.join(chunk for chunk in chunks if chunk)
