P2Y12 receptors on platelet membrane are key modulators of platelet aggregation and thrombosis in acute coronary syndromes (2). Oral P2Y12 receptor inhibitors (clopidogrel, ticagrelor, and prasugrel) combined with aspirin (dual antiplatelet therapy [DAPT]) have revolutionized the antithrombotic management of acute coronary syndromes (3–5). Ticagrelor and prasugrel, the newer members of oral P2Y12 receptor inhibitors, have a stronger and more predictable antiplatelet profile than clopidogrel, resulting in reduced thrombotic outcomes in patients with acute coronary events at the expense of increased bleeding risk (4,5). The duration and potency of DAPT have been an ongoing challenge. Potent P2Y12 receptor inhibition significantly decreases the thrombotic risk related to a culprit lesion, stenting of that lesion, or remote nonculprit lesions in acute coronary syndromes, especially during the first 3 months post–percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (6). Hence, the current practice guidelines on the management of acute coronary events recommend the preferential use of potent DAPT with ticagrelor or prasugrel for 12 months after an acute coronary syndrome treated with PCI (7,8). Depending on the individualized thrombotic and bleeding risk, shorter or longer DAPT can be considered.
Despite our progress in understanding the pharmacodynamics of P2Y12 receptor inhibitors in acute coronary syndromes, there are still unanswered questions: Is there any difference between ticagrelor and prasugrel in terms of thrombotic and bleeding outcomes; and is there any net benefit in de-escalating from potent DAPT with ticagrelor or prasugrel to traditional DAPT with clopidogrel in the era of next-generation drug-eluting stents? In real-world experience, ticagrelor or prasugrel is switched back to clopidogrel before or after hospital discharge in 5% to 15% of patients with acute coronary syndrome requiring PCI (2,9). The current guidelines do not provide any clear recommendations on de-escalation of P2Y12 inhibitors, leaving clinicians uninformed on how to manage these patients, who are frequently encountered in daily practice.
In this issue of the Journal, Motovska et al. (10) present the 1-year outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with primary angioplasty and randomized to prasugrel versus ticagrelor: the PRAGUE-18 (Comparison of Prasugrel and Ticagrelor in the Treatment of Acute Myocardial Infarction) study. This is an open-label, multicenter study conducted in the Czech Republic in 1,230 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction or high-risk non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, undergoing primary or emergent PCI, respectively. The patients were randomized to ticagrelor (n = 596) or prasugrel (n = 634) for an intended duration of treatment of 12 months. The study had 2 major objectives: 1) to compare the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor versus prasugrel at 12 months post-primary PCI; and 2) to assess the ischemic and bleeding risk of economically motivated, post-discharge de-escalation to clopidogrel. There were no significant differences between ticagrelor and prasugrel in the composite endpoint (5.7% vs. 6.6%; p = 0.503), cardiovascular death (3.0% vs. 3.3%; p = 0.769), myocardial infarction (2.5% vs. 3.0%; p = 0.611), stroke (0.7% vs. 1.1%; p = 0.423), all-cause death (4.2% vs. 4.7%; p = 0.654), definite stent thrombosis (1.5% vs. 1.1%; p = 0.535), all bleeding (11.1% vs. 10.9%; p = 0.999), and Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction major bleeding (0.7% vs. 0.9%; p = 0.754). Similar ischemic and bleeding outcomes between ticagrelor and prasugrel were also observed in the subgroup analysis. Approximately one-half of the patients switched to clopidogrel at any stage throughout the follow-up. In fact, more than 70% of patients switched to clopidogrel due to economic motivation (i.e., patients were not willing to accept the costs associated with ticagrelor or prasugrel and switched to clopidogrel after obtaining the treating physician's approval). More than 70% of the economically driven switches were done within the first 30 days post-hospital discharge. An economically motivated switch from ticagrelor or prasugrel to clopidogrel was associated with lower ischemic and bleeding risk compared with "no switch," whereas noneconomically driven transition to clopidogrel resulted in a significant increase of the ischemic endpoints. There was no difference in ischemic and bleeding outcomes between patients who switched from ticagrelor to clopidogrel and those who switched from prasugrel to clopidogrel. Notably, patients who de-escalated to clopidogrel due to economic reasons had lower risk compared with those who continued on ticagrelor or prasugrel.
PRAGUE-18 is a purely academic study, free from industry support and associated biases. The study was meticulously executed, achieving excellent follow-up of all patients. It provides original and clinically relevant head-to-head comparison of potent oral P2Y12 receptor inhibitors post-primary PCI, as well as real-world data on the efficacy and safety of switching from stronger to traditional DAPT.
The study has several caveats that need to be acknowledged. This is an open-label study with inherent bias. Due to premature termination of enrollment secondary to futility, the study ended underpowered with limited sample size. However, the primary outcomes between treatment groups were consistently similar throughout the enrollment period, suggesting that a sample size increase would likely not make any major difference. The de-escalation strategy was heterogeneous, nonrandomized, and biased, as it was primarily driven by patients' cost sharing. The frequency of de-escalation for any reason in the study was much higher than previous, large, and consistent registry data (54% vs. 5% to 15%) (2,9), and this actually represents one of the reasons for the study's reduced power. The discrepancy in de-escalation frequency is likely attributed to the fact that economic reasons for de-escalation are more applicable in the Czech Republic compared with the United States and other European countries, and/or are more applicable recently than the past. Despite these limitations, the current study is hypothesis-generating and deserves our attention.
Even though switching between new oral P2Y12 receptor inhibitors is not very common, ranging between 2% to 4% (9,11,12), there are clinical scenarios that require changing from ticagrelor to prasugrel (e.g., in patients with dyspnea or compliance issues, given that ticagrelor is administered twice daily), or from prasugrel to ticagrelor (e.g., in patients with cerebrovascular events). Large-scale clinical studies to guide the transition between new P2Y12 inhibitors are limited, and most data are derived from pharmacodynamic studies. The PRAGUE-18 study, even though very underpowered, is the first randomized study that provides head-to-head comparison of ticagrelor versus prasugrel in terms of efficacy and safety in patients with high-risk acute coronary events undergoing primary or emergent PCI. The acute/subacute phase (7 days) and 1-year outcomes did not support the hypothesis that one of the potent P2Y12 inhibitors was more effective or safer than the other (10,13). Overall, the PRAGUE-18 study provides important preliminary evidence on the feasibility of switching between potent oral P2Y12 receptor inhibitors. A larger, purely academic study comparing the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor versus prasugrel in patients with acute coronary syndromes treated with early invasive strategy is now under way (NCT01944800) (14).
Switching from potent to standard DAPT is a real-world challenge. Reduced costs associated with a generic formulation of clopidogrel, as well as increased bleeding risk associated with the new potent P2Y12 inhibitors—sometimes in the context of concomitant anticoagulation—represent the most important reasons for switching to clopidogrel (6,11). Nonbleeding side effects, such as dyspnea; patient characteristics and social issues; medication adherence; and patient/physician preference are additional reasons for de-escalating to traditional DAPT (6,11). Given the absence of large trials specifically designed to assess the safety and efficacy of de-escalation strategies, we rely on data from pharmacodynamic studies and existing clinical trials and registries. Pharmacodynamic studies showed that de-escalation, especially from ticagrelor to clopidogrel, increases platelet reactivity and theoretically increases the thrombotic propensity at the acute/subacute stage of acute coronary events (11). In line with these pharmacodynamic observations, the SCOPE (Switching from Clopidogrel to New Oral Antiplatelet Agents During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) registry showed that early de-escalation increased the thrombotic events, without reducing the bleeding outcomes (15). In contrast, TRANSLATE-ACS (Treatment With Adenosine Diphosphate [ADP] Receptor Inhibitors: Longitudinal Assessment of Treatment Patterns and Events After Acute Coronary Syndrome), a large, multicenter, longitudinal registry, showed that early switching from ticagrelor or prasugrel to clopidogrel was not associated with increased thrombotic events when compared with continuation on the higher-potency agent in myocardial infarction patients treated with PCI (9). Small-scale and relatively underpowered randomized clinical trials (TOPIC [Timing Of Platelet Inhibition After Acute Coronary Syndrome]  and TROPICAL-ACS [Testing Responsiveness to Platelet Inhibition on Chronic Antiplatelet Treatment for Acute Coronary Syndromes] ), as well as nonrandomized data from PRAGUE-18, consistently provided evidence that early downgrading from ticagrelor or prasugrel to clopidogrel, with or without platelet function test guidance, is a feasible strategy, leading to reduced bleeding risk without increasing the ischemic risk.
Taken together, these data might challenge the current guidelines, which recommend preferential use of potent versus traditional DAPT for 1 year. Given that the majority of stent thrombosis occurs during the first month, whereas the majority of bleeding events happen after the first month, a strategy of a potent DAPT with ticagrelor or prasugrel during the first 1 to 3 months to reduce the ischemic events succeeded by a less-potent DAPT with clopidogrel thereafter to reduce the bleeding risk appears attractive (Figure 1). Tailored assessment of thrombotic/bleeding risk and platelet function and genetic testing have the potential to identify the patients who will benefit from shorter and less-potent DAPT, as well as those who will benefit from longer and more-potent DAPT (Figure 1). Alternative strategies with single antiplatelet therapy with potent P2Y12 inhibitors also have the potential to reduce bleeding without jeopardizing ischemic efficacy (18,19).
ASA = aspirin; DAPT = dual antiplatelet therapy; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention; PRECISE-DAPT = PREdicting bleeding Complications In patients undergoing Stent implantation and subsEquent Dual Anti Platelet Therapy.
Preliminary data from existing clinical trials show that DAPT de-escalation in low-thrombotic-risk patients is feasible. Large randomized controlled trials focused on outcomes and cost-effectiveness are needed before a P2Y12 de-escalation strategy is widely adopted. Such trials should investigate the role of de-escalation in high- and lower-risk acute coronary syndromes requiring PCI. It might not be straightforward to conduct those trials, given the lack of interest and support from the pharmaceutical industry, but at the end of the day the academic cardiology community has the responsibility to advance science in an unbiased manner and deliver the best and safest patient care, in line with the Hippocratic principle of "primum non nocere [first do no harm]" (1).

Thirteen creations by Antonin Artaud taken from his two most important poetry collections, El Llombrígol dels llimbs and El Pesa-Nervis (L'Ombilic des limbes and Le Pèse-nerfs, 1925), representative of the diverse and unclassifyable style of the Marseillan author, already present at the beginning of his career. In his poetry, Artaud steps away from the self and goes way beyond, willing to encompass the full scope of the evil that society introduces in individuals, something that he suffered first-hand in his troubled relationship with Surrealism and André Breton. Inventor of total art, Artaud is cryptic and metaphysical, and yet displays a clarity of thought that transcends lyricism to get directly to the conscience of the reader.
Antonin Artaud (1896-1948). Poet, playwright, essayist and theatre director, he played a central role in 20th century avant-garde movements and is considered to be one of the fathers of contemporary theatre. In 1932 he wrote Teatre de la crueltat (Théâtre de la cruauté), a manifesto that laid the foundations of avant-garde theatre together with his plays El teatre i el seu doble (Le Théâtre et son double, 1938) and Heliogàbal (1934). Homeless and mentally ill, he spent most part of his later life living in asylums. Van Gogh, suïcidat per la societat (Van Gogh le suicidé de la société, 1947), one of his most famous works, was published shortly before his death.
Edgar Alemany (Castell, Menorca, 1989) is a poet and musician. He has published two books, Calidoscopi (El Gall editor, 2007) and Funàmbuls de llum (Viena, 2009), and the small volume Hi ha el dau amb porta (Gnurf, 2012). He has translated into French and published in the Cahiers Artaud nº2 his poem "Així cau" (Éditions les Cahiers, 2014) and currently lives in Paris, where he studies acting in connection with the figure of Artaud.

M/Y Lady Sarya listed for sale by PrivatSea
This is a unique opportunity to purchase a yacht that only a privileged few have had the opportunity to enjoy…
Lady Sarya is a legendary 76m motoryacht built in 1972 by Rinaldo Gastaldi in Nuovi Cantieri Apuania in Marina di Carrara, Italy, for New York property developer William Levitt. At the time, the then-named La Belle Simone played host to the most glamorous celebrities of the era, including notable A-listers such as Gregory Peck, Frank Sinatra, Michael Caine, Harry Belafonte, Julio Iglesias, Gina Lollobrigida, Rex Harrison, and James Bonds Sean Connery and Roger Moore. The distinctive yacht also made an appearance in the famous 1978 film 'The Greek Tycoon' based on Aristotle Onassis' life with Anthony Quinn.
Characterised by her unmistakable twin funnels, Lady Sarya has a large swimming pool positioned between them on the upper deck. The unique interior is full of artisan woodwork and remarkable marble design – exclusive handmade details that are a rare find in the industry today. The yacht is the epitome of sophistication and the ultimate combination of vintage ambience and classic luxury. This is a unique opportunity to purchase a yacht that only a privileged few have had the opportunity to enjoy.
The yacht's upper deck leads onto the outdoor pool and to the bar where guests can enjoy an aperitif at sunset or an informal lunch. The deluxe and spacious master suite is located on the main deck and occupies an expansive 100sqm in total. It features his and hers bathrooms and a separate dressing room with its own seating area, all beautifully appointed in neutral colours. On the lower level, each of the three cabins – the VIP cabin and two guest cabins all with ensuite bathrooms – have a unique charm with bright colours and the finest furnishings. Two additional cabins on the upper deck – one single and one double – complete the guest accommodation.
As well as her distinctive interior design and exclusive details, Lady Sarya cruises comfortably at 16 knots, with a top speed of 21 knots and a maximum cruising range of 3,200nm. She has a gross tonnage of 1,031, a steel hull with an aluminum superstructure and teak decks. The yacht can accommodate 11 guests in six cabins and up to 36 crew.
Recently refurbished in 2020, Lady Sarya's luxurious on-board atmosphere has been respected and maintained while adding a fresh touch.

A Boy and His Dog (1975 film)
L.Q. Jones
by Harlan Ellison
Alvy Moore
John Arthur Morrill
Scott Conrad
Tim McIntire
LQ/Jaf Productions
March 15, 1975 (1975-03-15) (Filmex Festival, Los Angeles)[1]
A Boy and His Dog is a 1975 American black comedy science fiction film directed by actor L.Q. Jones, from a screenplay by Jones based on the 1969 novella of the same title by fantasy author Harlan Ellison. The film stars Don Johnson, Susanne Benton, Alvy Moore, and Jason Robards. It was independently produced and distributed by Jones' company LQ/Jaf Productions.
The film's storyline concerns a teenage boy, Vic, and his telepathic dog, Blood, who work together as a team in order to survive in the dangerous post-apocalyptic wasteland of the Southwestern United States.
Shout! Factory released the film on DVD and Blu-ray in August 2013.[2]
In the post-nuclear war America of 2024, Vic (Don Johnson) is an 18-year-old boy, born in and scavenging throughout the wasteland of the former southwestern United States. Vic is most concerned with food and sex; having lost his parents, he has no formal education and does not understand ethics or morality. He is accompanied by a well-read, misanthropic, telepathic dog named Blood, who helps him find women to rape, in exchange for which Vic finds food for the dog. Blood cannot forage for himself due to the same genetic engineering that granted him telepathy. The two steal for a living, evading bands of raiders, berserk military androids, and mutants. Blood and Vic have an occasionally antagonistic relationship (Blood frequently annoys Vic by calling him "Albert" for reasons never made clear), though they realize that they need each other to survive. Blood wishes to find the legendary promised land of "Over the Hill" where above-ground utopias are said to exist, though Vic believes that they must make the best of what they have.
Searching a bunker for a woman for Vic to rape, they find one, but she has already been severely mutilated and is on the verge of death. Vic displays no pity. He is merely angered by the "wastefulness" of such an act, as well as disgusted by the thought of satisfying his urges with a woman in such a condition. They move on, only to find slavers excavating another bunker. Vic steals several cans of their food, later using them to barter for goods in a nearby shanty town.
That evening, while watching old vintage stag films at a local outdoor "cinema", Blood claims to smell a woman, and the pair track her to a large underground warehouse. There, Vic attempts to rape Quilla June Holmes (Susanne Benton), a scheming and seductive teenage girl from Downunder, a society in a large underground settlement. Unknown to the pair, Quilla June's father, Lou Craddock (Jason Robards), had sent her above ground to "recruit" surface dwellers. Blood takes an instant dislike to her, but Vic ignores him. After Vic saves Quilla June from raiders and mutants, they have repeated sex. Eventually, she secretly returns to her underground society. Enticed by the thought of more women and sex, Vic follows her, despite Blood's warnings. Blood remains on the surface at Downunder's portal.
Downunder has an artificial biosphere, complete with forests and a city, which is named Topeka after the ruins of the destroyed city that it lies beneath. The city is ruled by a triumvirate known as the Committee, who have shaped Topeka into a bizarre caricature of pre-nuclear war America, with all residents wearing whiteface and clothes evocative of rural United States prior to World War II. When Vic is told that he has been brought to Topeka to help fertilize the female population, he is elated to learn of his "stud" value. His joy is short-lived, when he is informed that Topeka meets its need for exogamous reproduction by electroejaculation and artificial insemination, which will deny him the sexual pleasure that he had envisioned. People who refuse to comply with the Committee are sent off to "the farm" and never seen again, as they are violently killed. Vic is informed that when his semen has been used to impregnate 35 women, he will also be sent to "the farm".
Quilla June helps Vic escape only because she wants him to kill the Committee members and destroy their android enforcer, Michael (Hal Baylor), so that she can usurp their power. Vic has no interest in politics or remaining underground. He only wants to return to Blood and the wasteland. The rebellion is quashed by Michael, who crushes the heads of Quilla June's co-conspirators before Vic disables him. She proclaims her "love" for Vic and wants to escape to the surface with him—now that her rebellion has been quashed, and the Committee has decreed that she will be sent to the farm.
On the surface, Vic and Quilla June discover that Blood is starving and near death. She pleads with Vic to abandon Blood, forcing him to face his true feelings. Vic decides that his loyalties lie with his dog. Off-camera, Vic murders Quilla June and cooks her flesh so that Blood can eat and survive. Blood thanks Vic for the food, and they both comment on Quilla June. Vic says that it was her fault that she followed him, while Blood wryly jokes that she had marvelous judgment but did not have particularly good "taste". The boy and his dog continue to talk as they walk off together into the wasteland.

L. Q. Jones as Actor In Porno Film
Harlan Ellison wrote the original novella A Boy and His Dog and began an adaptation for film. However, after encountering writer's block, actor/director L.Q. Jones came onboard to write the script. Jones' own company, LQ/Jaf Productions (L.Q. Jones & Friends), independently produced the film. Distributors initially were reluctant to finance the production, so Jones raised $400,000 through family and business associates.[3] The film was shot at Pacific Ocean Park in Venice, California, and on location around Barstow, California[1] and Coyote Dry Lake in the Mojave Desert.
In an interview, Harlan Ellison said: "When he [Blood] calls Vic 'Al' or 'Albert', he is referring to the Albert Payson Terhune dog stories, whereas a traditional boy and his dog relationship is turned upside down in this movie".
James Cagney's voice was considered as the voice of Blood, but was dropped because it would have been too recognizable and prove to be a distraction. Eventually, after going through approximately 600 auditions, they settled on Tim McIntire, a veteran voice actor who also did most of the music for the film. Ray Manzarek (misspelled in the film credits as "Manzarec"), formerly of The Doors, was also among those credited for the score.
McIntire sang the main theme. Bolivian composer Jaime Mendoza-Nava provided the music for the Topeka underground segment.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 78% approval rating based on 36 reviews, with an average rating of 6.6/10. The site's consensus states: "An offbeat, eccentric black comedy, A Boy and His Dog features strong dialogue and an oddball vision of the future".[4] On Metacritic the film has a score of 68% based on reviews from 10 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[5]
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 2.5 stars out of a possible 4, writing that Ellison's novella "seemed almost to defy filming" but nonetheless Jones managed to offer "a sort of wacky success".[6] Richard Eder of The New York Times wrote that the realistic world set up in the beginning and the underground community introduced later "don't really work together; their contrast, and a ridiculous ending, shatter the picture. And the talking dog chews up the pieces".[7] Variety called the film "a turkey" and "an amateurish blend of redneck humor, chaotic fight scenes, and dimwitted philosophizing".[8] Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune gave the film 1.5 stars out of 4 and wrote: "Rather than illuminate the present through a glance at a possible future, 'A Boy and His Dog' is simply a dim-witted collection of tired sex gags and anti-American imagery".[9] Charles Champlin of the Los Angeles Times praised the film as "an offbeat delight" with performances that "have that comfortable naturalness often detectable when an actor is directing other actors".[10] Gary Arnold of The Washington Post panned the film as a "shoddy, puerile science-fiction parable" that "mistakes juvenile facetiousness for wit and glorifies a juvenile concept of freedom, which means making it in the wild, away from such unmanly encumbrances as civilization and girls".[11]
The film was not commercially successful at its release. It has since become a cult film[12] and also inspired the video game series Fallout "on many levels, from underground communities of survivors to glowing mutants", according to Jesse Heining, a developer of the game.[13] On the film's DVD audio commentary, Jones states that Ellison was generally pleased with the film, with the exception of some lines of dialogue. Ellison particularly objected to the film's final line, which did not originate from his original short story, in which Blood said of Quilla, "Well, I'd say she certainly had marvelous judgement, Albert, if not particularly good taste". Ellison referred to it as a "moronic, hateful chauvinist last line, which I despise".[14][15]
Accolades[edit]
The film won the 1976 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation at MidAmeriCon, the 34th World Science Fiction Convention in Kansas City, Missouri, located not far from the real Topeka, Kansas. Johnson won the Golden Scroll for Best Actor, which was shared with James Caan for his performance in Rollerball. In 2007, it ranked #96 on Rotten Tomatoes' "Journey Through Sci-Fi" (100 best-reviewed science fiction films).[16]
Legacy[edit]
According to L.Q. Jones, George Miller cited the 1975 film adaptation of A Boy and His Dog as an influence on the Mad Max films, particularly The Road Warrior (1981).[17]
Sequel[edit]
There were rumors regarding a sequel, but it never materialized. On the film's DVD audio commentary, L.Q. Jones states that he had started to write a script sequel to the film that would have picked up where the first film ended and featured a female warrior named Spike, and we would have seen this world through the eyes of a female instead of a male (this happens in Ellison's story, Blood's a Rover, when Blood partners with Spike after the ostensible death of Vic). Jones and Ellison reportedly collaborated on this short-lived effort, although Ellison said that such 'collaboration' never went beyond a short "what if?" conversation, and that any efforts were solely that of Jones.
According to Cult Movies 2, Jones had a sequel planned called A Girl and Her Dog, but the plan was scrapped when Tiger, the dog who portrayed Blood, died. In a December 2003 interview,[18] Jones claimed that he had been repeatedly approached to make a sequel, but funding was always an issue. In 2018, Ellison's teleplay featuring Spike — the girl in the proposed A Girl and Her Dog film — was finally published. Blood's a Rover by Harlan Ellison (Subterranean Press 2018), a "fix-up" novel, consisting of "Eggsucker" and "Run Spot, Run", two short stories from the 1970s and 1980s, as well as "A Boy and His Dog" (Ellison's novella) and an unproduced teleplay from the 1970s, "Blood's a Rover", was published in a limited number of hardcovers.

Democrat Joe Cunningham Defeats GOP Katie Arrington for South Carolina House Seat
Democrat Joe Cunningham defeated Republican Katie Arrington for South Carolina's 1st Congressional District early Wednesday, in a fiercely competitive race.
Katie Arrington, a state representative, beat incumbent Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC) in the Republican primary, in a major upset.
She ran on a conservative platform and the district went for President Donald Trump in 2016 by double digits, but her opponent and Democrats argued that she was too far right for the district. Sanford is a Never Trump Republican.
During the race, Arrington was seriously injured as a passenger in a fatal car accident. She had multiple emergency surgeries and spent weeks in the hospital before finally returning to the campaign trail.
While she was recovering, national Democrats connected with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) flooded South Carolina.
Cunningham is the first Democrat to take the district's seat since 1981, according to The State. Cunningham, an attorney, positioned himself as a moderate who would reach across party lines.

Q: Python recv drops bluetooth data? I have a python application running on an IOT device which is receiving data over a bluetooth (pybluez) connection. I'm testing the IOT device with an android phone. Most of the protocol is small chatty packets, however, there's one operation which requires sending a larger amount of data all at once, about 58K in my current test.
It works sometimes, but more often than not it hangs waiting for additional data that never comes. I suspect this means I'm either overflowing some limited size buffer and dropping data, or the transport is unreliable and some data is being dropped.
The code I'm using to read the data looks like this:
# Read the boundary off the socket
borderDataSize = borderPoints * 16
while len(data) < borderDataSize:
    newdata = client_sock.recv(4096)
    data += newdata

# ... logic to process the data ...

Has anybody experienced this? I don't think i've ever seen this with my smaller chatty communications running in a loop, does this mean it's probably some sort of buffer overrun? Are there any best practices for dealing with this problem?

Line breaks are no longer rendered in comments after upgrading to 2.2 (no change in theme – MistyLook).
I wonder if anyone came across this and if they know of a fix?
Once confirmed by anyone else I can submit it to the bugs database.
I would really appreciate the help with this issue, there is nothing worse than trying to read a comment that has no paragraph or line breaks!
I've searched but came up with nothing so far. Please help if you could.
After upgrade to 2.2, line breaks no longer render in the comments. No other changes.
I have completely removed all WP files and copied the distribution files afresh into the directory, ensured that all permissions and ownerships are okay, but the problem still persists.
I am having the same problem, and apparently, nobody here has an answer.
This has happened to all of my WordPress installations. I am surprised that there aren't more people complaining about it, because it IS a friggin mess.
What I noticed is that if you open up a comment to edit, and just save it, the comment will display properly. But who the hell wants to do that?
There has just got to be more to this story. I have 3 at 2.2 and my comments are still fine.
Are you all using similar/same themes?
Does the problem persist if you try switching to the Default theme?
Any of you guys running the More Smilies plugin (or perhaps something similar)?
Thank you very much for the investigative work!
Now we have to find another replacement for the smilies.
I don't know how to fix it to shut off the comment text filter, if anyone can help that would be wonderful. I love this plugin but it's not being supported by the author anymore.
I've updated a web site to WP 2.2.1 and indeed, all line breaks in comments went missing, but they showed up again when I deactivated the More Smilies plugin.
The topic 'Line breaks not rendered in comments' is closed to new replies.

Northern B.C. communities offer affordable home ownership, states report
Some communities less affordable in 2017 than previous year
Mar. 16, 2018 12:48 p.m.
Home ownership in northern B.C. remains affordable, particularly compared to Vancouver, according to a report released by the BC Northern Real Estate Board.
According to the report, the average price of a single family home sold in northern B.C. in 2017 was about $290,000 while the typical Vancouver single detached house averaged more than $1,500,000.
The communities of 100 Mile House and Williams Lake are still affordable places to live, states the report, however, home ownership is less affordable now than it was a year ago.
"Price growth in 2017 varied widely from community to community. Average house prices in 100 Mile House and Smithers increased significantly. Once again, the highest average house prices in northern British Columbia are found in Fort St. John, although prices continued a recent downward trend," states the report.
"Changes in affordability also varied across the region. Kitimat, Mackenzie, and Fort St John saw affordability improve by 16.7 per cent, three per cent, and 2.7 per cent, respectively. Prince George, Prince Rupert, Smithers, and Williams Lake saw affordability worsen by 4-10 per cent. In 100 Mile House, affordability worsened by 12.4 per cent. In most cases, worsening affordability can be attributed to increases in average house prices. The most affordable community in Northern British Columbia remains Mackenzie, where homeowners require only 20.1 per cent of their annual income to cover the costs of housing.
The BC Northern Real Estate Board (BCNREB) Housing Affordability Indicators estimate the proportion of median household income that is required to cover mortgage costs, municipal taxes and fees, and utilities for the average single family home. The higher the measure, the more difficult it is to afford a home, states the report.
For example, an affordability measure of 50 per cent means that home ownership costs, including mortgage payments, utilities, and property taxes take up 50 per cent of a typical household's pre-tax income.
Historically, the largest contributor to affordability has been house prices, and this trend continues for 2017, states the report.
The percentage of household income to finance home ownership in some northern communities are estimated as follows; 100 Mile House 36.33 per cent, Williams Lake 29.47 per cent, Fort St. John 27.41 per cent, Kitimat 20.63 per cent , Mackenzie 20.13 per cent, Prince George 30.88 per cent, Prince Rupert 33.05 per cent, Quesnel 25.19 per cent, Smithers 26.17 per cent and Terrace at 32.66 per cent.

Ted Dawson, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Institute for Cell Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and one of the study's leaders, says the new findings hinge on how aggregates of alpha-synuclein protein enter brain cells. Abnormal clumps of alpha-synuclein protein are often found in autopsies of people with Parkinson's disease and are thought to cause the death of dopamine-producing brain cells.
A few years ago, Dawson says, a researcher at Goethe University in Germany published evidence for a novel theory that Parkinson's disease progresses as alpha-synuclein aggregates spread from brain cell to brain cell, inducing previously normal alpha-synuclein protein to aggregate, and gradually move from the "lower" brain structures responsible for movement and basic functions to "higher" areas associated with processes like memory and reasoning. "There was a lot of skepticism, but then other labs showed alpha-synuclein might spread from cell to cell," Dawson says. Intrigued, his research group began working with those of Valina Dawson, Ph.D., professor of neurology, and Han Seok Ko, Ph.D., assistant professor of neurology, to investigate how the aggregates enter cells.
The researchers knew they were looking for a certain kind of protein called a transmembrane receptor, which is found on the outside of a cell and works like a lock in a door, admitting only proteins with the right "key." They first found a type of cells alpha-synuclein aggregates could not enter -- a line of human brain cancer cells grown in the laboratory. The next step was to add genes for transmembrane receptors one by one to the cells and see whether any of them allowed the aggregates in. Three of the proteins did, and one, LAG3, had a heavy preference for latching on to alpha-synuclein aggregates over nonclumped alpha-synuclein.
The team next bred mice that lacked the gene for LAG3 and injected them with alpha-synuclein aggregates. "Typical mice develop Parkinson's-like symptoms soon after they're injected, and within six months, half of their dopamine-making neurons die," Dawson says. "But mice without LAG3 were almost completely protected from these effects." Antibodies that blocked LAG3 had similar protective effects in cultured neurons, the researchers found.
"We were excited to find not only how alpha-synuclein aggregates spread through the brain, but also that their progress could be blocked by existing antibodies," says Xiaobo Mao, Ph.D., a research associate in Dawson's laboratory and first author on the study.

Q: Progress bar tight against other content Background: At time of writing, Fomantic-UI is the live-development fork of Semantic-UI which will one day be rolled into Semantic-UI and is for the mean time the de facto supported genus of Semantic-UI.
Issue: FUI provides both a capable modal component and a useful progress bar component. The requirement is how to have a progress bar appear in a modal tightly connected to the bottom of the modal header segment. As per my gif below. In this use case the user is searching for something on a server with an async process happening and I need to show the user some indication of action elsewhere.

Using the standard progress bar CSS meant that the progress bar is not connected to the header.

$('#b1').on('click', function(e) {

  $('#m1').modal('show')

  $('#m1').find('.theProgress-bar').show();

  setTimeout(function() {
    $('#m1').find('.theProgress-bar').css({
      visibility: 'hidden'
    });
  }, 5000)

})
<link href="https://fomantic-ui.com/dist/semantic.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Click the 'show modal' button to open a modal.

    <button id='b1'>Show the modal</button>

Header

Note the progress bar is NOT tight against the line that separates the header from the content.

The idea behind Lenore Skenazy's book, Free-Range Kids, is to help parents see some risks are worth it. My three favorite "commandment" to raising safe, self-reliant children without going nuts with worry are study history, relax, and fail.
Skenazy urges parents to remember that in the past "your ten-year-old would have been forging horseshoes or at least delivering papers." She reminds readers that until recently, adults depended on children for survival, be it through chores in the field or around the house. Competence, not age, determined the responsibilities children acquired. It was the idea being everyone needed to earn their keep. After all, she notes, "Until the recent advent of small families, it was often the older sisters who took care of the kids who came along." Sure enough, children survived the early onset of independence.
While a kid's capability hasn't changed, our society's perception of just how much freedom a child should have has. If you love your child, you must restrict her to keep them safe, right? Well, that's what Skenazy argues the "blamers" would say; however, she claims, "They don't know your kid like you do." According to Free-Range Kids, "This eagerness to distrust each other and even to find glaring fault with each other means that it's hard for moms and dads to relax, too. If the only good parent is a parent who never leaves their kid's side – not even to run to the back of the store for a can of tuna fish – then it's very easy to spot the bad ones." As a result, Skenazy insists things that previous generations would have done without a moment's hesitation are now fodder for the gossip mill.
Part of the problem is, according to Skenazy, that we buy into two incorrect assumptions. One – children are wet clay at birth and need to be molded into something special quickly. Two – they need more attention than ever before if they are going to end up smart and successful. Skenazy quotes Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, director of the Temple University Infant Language Laboratory and coauthor of Einstein Never Used Flashcards, "Everywhere we've looked, the children are not gaining any advantages from these extra edutainment activities." Success, instead, is largely based on nature. If you want to nurture something in your child, skip the skill and drill. Focus on persistence and promote curiosity.
Need a little more convincing that free-range kids become self-reliant adults, try watching this video called Famous Failures. It might just inspire you to give your child the freedom she needs to succeed on her own.

Some call fashion frivolous, but ready-to-wear trends can actually tell us a lot about what's happening not just in the industry, but also in the world at large. And last month, the 400-plus Spring 2019 shows in New York, London, Milan and Paris gave us a lot to mull over. There was Hedi Slimane's provocative Celine debut; Alessandro Michele's reliably quirky, first-ever Paris-based Gucci collection (look out for his Spring 2019 wares on the red carpet at this year's "Notes on 'Camp'"-themed Met Gala); Chanel's faux-seaside getaway (a favorite of buyers, even if it was noticeably lacking in diversity).
The collections themselves seemed to comment on the (raging dumpster fire of uncertainty that is our) current political climate, with designers falling into various factions: the escapists filled their spring lines with vacation-themed or over-the-top princess-y looks, the defiant invited women to reclaim their sexuality in unabashedly revealing clothing, the forward-thinking set out to erase the line between menswear and womenswear entirely, championing a new, genderless era of dressing.
Now, well in advance of next spring, we've got the 411 on all of the Spring 2019 trends worth knowing — i.e., the ones that we think will stick. Spoiler alert: it's looking like bold-shouldered blazers, statement cardigans, feathery shoes and highly impractical handbags will be everywhere in six months. Shop accordingly.

Canaries are divided into different types, by colour, song or breed of canary.
This is the most common type of canary, they are yellow in colour and can reach up to five inches in length.
These is a small canary reaching about four inches in length. They have a unique round style of crest with a yellow body and a white ring around their upper neck.
These will grow to about five inchest in length. These canaries are red in colour and are normally bred for bird shows.
Canaries are sociable birds and prefer to be kept with at least one other canary. Do not put two male canaries together as they will fight, and you should not house different breeds of canaries together.
The average lifespan of a canary is ten years and they originate from the Canary Islands.

50 Years on – how Apollo 13's near disastrous mission is relevant today
When an oxygen tank blew during the 1970 Nasa moonshot, the successful rescue mission was thanks to Nasa organisation, not improvisation
Kevin Fong
Sat 29 Feb 2020 11.00 EST

Eighteen months ago, I was combing through the Apollo 11 mission logs, looking at the timelines and events for something unique that we might focus on to celebrate the 50th anniversary of humankind's first landing on the moon. Last year, that idea became the BBC World Service podcast 13 Minutes to the Moon.
As the series drew to a close, it became clear that there was unfinished business. Some of the flight controllers who had been present for the Apollo 11 landing had also worked on another, arguably more dramatic, endeavour – the ill-fated flight of Apollo 13.
That mission was crippled by an explosion while en route to the moon and nearly 200,000 miles from Earth. The story was popularised in 1995 in a Hollywood film starring Tom Hanks, but I knew that there was much more behind the narrative than the movie had managed to tell. So for the new series of the podcast I wanted to get under the skin of the thing and focus not just on the crew who flew the mission, but also on those who saved it – the incredible team of flight controllers who worked round the clock in shifts for 87 hours.
We were after more than the story, gripping though it is. I wanted to understand what lessons we all might learn from what became arguably Nasa's finest achievement: the recovery from catastrophe in deep space and the rescue of a crew from what looked like certain death. How do you lead a team through that? How do you keep yourselves going in the face of something so hopeless? It felt to me like there should be something all of us might learn.

Apollo 13 was the United States' third mission to land humans on the moon. Launched on 11 April 1970, it followed less than a year after Neil Armstrong's successful first lunar landing and famous small step. Commander Jim Lovell, a former US navy test pilot and spaceflight veteran, led a crew of two rookie astronauts, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise. Things had gone awry even before launch. Swigert was a late inclusion in the crew, having been swapped in at the last moment to replace his colleague Ken Mattingly who had been exposed to a case of German measles. But this drama in the buildup to the mission drew only moderate interest from the media.
To the American public, sending people to the moon, a feat that had existed only at the limits of their imagination just 12 months earlier, had now taken on the air of something almost routine. There was much less press hoopla about the launch itself and television networks across America declined the opportunity to interrupt their schedules and include live inserts of Apollo 13's early inflight broadcasts. The view of the editorial teams back on Earth was clear: astronauts had landed on the moon not once but twice already and, with much of the novelty gone, the Apollo 13 mission deserved little attention, or so they thought.
Fifty-six hours in, with the crew nearly 200,000 miles from Earth, an explosion in one of Apollo 13's two oxygen tanks left the command module Odyssey fatally damaged. Coasting in space, with alarms flashing all around them, bleeding oxygen and losing electrical power, Lovell, Swigert and Haise were suddenly in deep trouble.

The lunar landing was called off and over the next four days, the crew and mission control would find themselves fending off deadly threats over and over again. They would solve problems one day, only to discover a host of new complications that might kill the crew the next. But they kept working together, across hundreds of thousands of miles of empty space, with everything against them, until they got the crew all the way back.
On 17 April 1970, with the world watching, Apollo 13 reached Earth again. The capsule, surrounded by an inferno created by the heat of re-entry into the atmosphere, became impossible to contact by radio. At mission control, they watched and waited in silence.
We tend to mythologise these stories of outrageous survival to the extent that it becomes difficult to tease fact apart from fiction. This is doubly true of Apollo 13. The popular retelling goes something like this: Apollo 13 was rescued by an elite team led by flight director, Gene Kranz, for whom failure was "not an option". The rescue was executed calmly and deftly without any doubts that it would succeed.
But you only have to listen to the opening hours of the mission control recordings and the space-to-ground radio transmissions to know that was not the case. After the rupture of the oxygen tank, both the crew and their flight controllers struggled to make sense of what was happening.
That the mission control team was caught flat-footed in the opening phase of the accident is strangely reassuring. Nobody, not even the exhaustively drilled Nasa flight controllers, is able to glide swan-like through chaos like that. Initially there was no structure. There were misdiagnoses and mistakes. The vehicle had failed so totally that it fleetingly crossed the mind of at least one flight controller that he should simply pack up and go home.
Exemplary leadership is what got them through that first hour. Kranz kept his team and the vehicle together masterfully, buying time enough to start solving the problem. When reviewing the response to sudden crises, we often overlook that chaotic period, simply because it has little real structure and doesn't appear to move things forward. But preventing a team from disintegrating in the face of an apparently overwhelming challenge is a feat in itself. The average age of the flight control team was 27; some were freshly graduated from university. During routine mission operations you would never guess that; their statements are so clear and confident, their knowledge so deep. But immediately after the accident there are times when, listening to the mission audio loop, you hear a hint of fearful youth.
Nasa had learned to be wary – they knew that plans hatched in the heat of the moment often harbour flaws
After a torrid hour of failed troubleshooting, a new shift of flight controllers arrived, as well as a new flight director, waiting to take their turn. They were at this point still in the thick of the fight and the temptation for Kranz to keep going and refuse to relinquish control must have been enormous. Nevertheless he passed the baton to the incoming team, recognising that fresh eyes and minds were what was needed. This is the true spirit of teamwork – the ability to know when your part is done, when someone new can bring something better than you can.
That ability to relinquish control and delegate authority didn't stop there. The Apollo missions were complex endeavours. Nobody could be across it all and Nasa knew that in mission control it had a team of people who, as a whole, were far greater than the sum of their individual parts.
In approaching this crisis, their delegation of authority and deference to expertise is almost total. In the face of high-stakes scenarios, it is tempting to wrest control from more junior colleagues. But in 1970 the approach of mission control was quite different. They empowered their most junior team members, giving them total ownership of their specialist stations. They would interrogate their recommendations but not second-guess them. It is a lesson that industry and wider society has largely failed to heed.
The other aspect of the Apollo 13 mission that I found fascinating during our interviews with the team was the depth of Nasa's preparation. I had always imagined Apollo 13 to be a feat of wall-to-wall improvisation. After all, the rupture of the oxygen tank had torn the heart out of the command module, leaving it dead, forcing the astronauts to use the lunar module as a lifeboat and means of propulsion.

But what surprised me was how little of the response to the accident demanded improvised solutions. Nasa had learned to be wary of creativity and inventiveness in the heat of the moment. That doesn't mean it refused to improvise, nor that it wasn't capable of doing it well – only that it knew plans hatched in the heat of battle often harbour hidden flaws.
Incredibly, Nasa had already rehearsed many of the contingency and fallback plans required to rescue Apollo 13. In earlier missions, it had experimented with using the lunar module's engines to drive both it and the command module. It had a checklist ready to manage the sudden powering down of the command module that was required to save dwindling battery power. Nasa even had a procedure for flying the spacecraft without their primary navigation and guidance computer. And then, when finally it had no choice but to improvise, it did it with same obsession and attention to detail it brought to everything else.
Finally, we should turn to the things we think we know about the mission through retellings in popular culture. The best quotes are often misquotes. For example nobody ever said: "Houston, we have a problem." The precise words were: "Houston, we've had a problem." That is just a glitch in tense.
More significant is the mission's other catchphrase – "Failure is not an option" – which we have taken to characterise Nasa as the sort of steel-willed organisation that steadfastly refuses to entertain the possibility of failure. But in truth nobody uttered those words during the mission. The quote itself derives from a line of script in the 1995 movie and Kranz then borrowed it as the title for his autobiography, published in 2000.

And while the flight controllers enjoyed regurgitating that particular strand of mythology to us, it was clear that the possibility of failure remained very real throughout the mission. Fifty years later, several of the flight controllers were still moved to tears when describing the moment when Apollo 13 finally reappeared after the communications blackout.
Despite their protestations, it became obvious that they all must have known how perilous the scenario was. But, importantly, what they didn't do was devote any time to contemplating disaster. As flight director Glynn Lunney, who relieved Kranz's first shift told me: "If you spend your time thinking about the crew dying, you're only going to make that eventuality more likely."
