There is an old saying: "He who pays the piper, calls the tune." This is one of those eternal truths that exist - and always will exist - in business, in politics, and in education.
We have seen how John D. Rockefeller captured the hearts of Baptist ministers with a mere $600,000 granted to Chicago University. What remains to be demonstrated is that he also captured control of the university.
Within a year after the grant, Rockefeller's personal choice, Dr. William Rainey Harper, was named president of the institution. And within two years, the teaching staff had been successfully purged of all anti-Rockefeller dissidents. A professor of economics and a professor of literature distinguished themselves by proclaiming that Mr. Rockefeller was "superior in creative genius to Shakespeare, Homer, and Dante."
By comparison, another teacher, a Professor Bemis, was expelled from the staff for "incompetence" when he repeatedly criticized the action of the railroads during the Pullman strike of 1894. A few years later, after the Rockefeller family, through the "philanthropy" of John Archbald, had gained parallel influence at Syracuse University in western New York, an economics instructor by the name of John Cummons was dismissed by the Chancellor for similar reasons.
Under the careful supervision of Fred Gates, John D. Rockefeller set out consciously and methodically to capture control of American education and particularly of American medical education. The process began in 1901 with the creation of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. It included on its board such politically oriented "medical" names as Doctors L. Emmett Holt, Christian A. Herter, T. Mitchell Pruden, Hermann M. Briggs, William H. Welch, Theobald Smith, and Simon Flexner. Christian Herter was slated for bigger things, of course, and became Secretary of State under President Eisenhower. Simon Flexner also was destined for larger success. Although his name never became as well-known as that of Herter, he and his brother, Abraham Flexner, probably influenced the lives of more people and in a more profound way than has any Secretary of State.
Abraham Flexner was on the staff of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. As mentioned previously, the Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations traditionally worked together almost as one in the furtherance of their mutual goals, and this certainly was no exception. The Flexner brothers represented the lens that brought both the Rockefeller and the Carnegie fortunes into sharp focus on the unsuspecting and thoroughly vulnerable medical profession.
Prior to 1910, the practice of medicine in the United States left a great deal to be desired. Some medical degrees could be purchased through the mail and many others could be obtained with marginal training at understaffed and inadequate medical schools. The profession was suffering from a bad public reputation and reform was in the air.
At one o'clock an informal conference was held with President Pritchett and Mr. Abraham Flexner of the Carnegie Foundation. Mr. Pritchett had already expressed by correspondence the willingness of the Foundation to cooperate with the Council in investigating the medical schools. He now explained that the Foundation was to investigate all the professions: law, medicine, and theology (2) . . .
Here was the classical "philanthropic formula" at work again. Have others pay a major portion of the bill (the AMA had already done most of the work. The total Carnegie investment was only $ 10,000), reap a large bonus from public opinion (isn't it wonderful that these men are taking an interest in upgrading medical education!), and gain an opportunity to control a large and vital sphere of American life.
This is how that control came about.
The Flexner Report, as it was called, was published in 1910. As anticipated, it was "published far and wide," and it did "do much to develop public opinion." The report quite correctly pointed out the inadequacies of medical education at the time. No one could take exception with that. It also proposed a wide range of sweeping changes, most of which were entirely sound. No one could take exception with those, either. The alert researcher will note, however, the recommendations emphatically included the strengthening of courses in pharmacology and the addition of research departments at all "qualified" medical schools.
And so, the Flexner Report was above reproach and, undoubtedly, it performed a service that was much needed at the time. It is what followed in the wake of the report that reveals its true purpose in the total plan. Rockefeller and Carnegie began immediately to shower hundreds of millions of dollars on those better medical schools that were vulnerable to control. Those that did not conform were denied the funds and the prestige that came with those funds, and were forced out of business.
A hundred and sixty schools were in operation in 1905. By 1927, the number had dropped to eighty. True, most of those that were edged out had been sub-standard. But so were some of those that received foundation money and survived. The primary test was not their previous standing but their willingness to accept foundation influence and control.
,Since 1910, the foundations have "invested" over a billion dollars in the medical schools of America. Nearly half of the faculty members now receive a portion of their income from foundation "research" grants, and over sixteen percent of them are entirely funded this way. Rockefeller and Carnegie have not been the only source of these funds. Substantial influence also has been exerted by the Ford Foundation, the Kellogg Foundation, the Commonwealth Fund (a Rockefeller interlock created by Edward Harkness of Standard Oil), the Sloan Foundation, and the Macy Foundation. The Ford Foundation has been extremely active in the field of medical education in recent years, but none of them can compare to the Rockefellers and the Carnegies for sheer money volume and historical continuity.
And so it hag come to pass that the teaching staffs of all our medical schools are a very special breed. In the selection and training process, heavy emphasis always has been put on finding individuals who, because of temperament or special interest, have been attracted by the field of research, and especially by research in pharmacology. This has resulted in loading the staffs of our medical schools with men and women who, by preference and by training, are ideal propagators of the drug-oriented science that has come to dominate American medicine. And the irony of it is that neither they nor their students are even remotely aware that they are products of a rigid selection process geared to hidden commercial objectives. So thorough is their insulation from this fact that, even when exposed to the obvious truth, very few are capable of accepting it, for to do so would be a tremendous blow to their professional pride. Generally speaking, the deeper one is drawn into the medical profession, the more years he has been exposed to its regimens, the more difficult it is to break out of its confines. In practical terms, this simply means that your doctor probably will be the last person on your Christmas card list to accept the facts presented in this study!
Yes, he who pays the piper does call the tune. It may not be humanly possible for those who finance the medical schools to determine what is taught in every minute detail. But such is not necessary to achieve the cartel's desired goals. One can be sure, however, that there is total control over what is not taught, and that, under no circumstances will even one of Rockefeller's shiny dimes ever go to a medical college, to a hospital, to a teaching staff, or to a researcher that holds the unorthodox view that the best medicine is in nature. Because of its generous patron, orthodoxy always will fiddle a tune of man-made drugs. Whatever basic nutrition may be allowed into the melody will be minimal at best, and it will be played over and over again that natural sources of vitamins are in no way superior to those that are man-made or synthesized. The day when orthodox medicine finally embraces the field of nutrition will be the day when the cartel behind it also has monopolized the vitamin and food product industry essential to it - not one day before.
In the meantime, while doctors are forced to spend hundreds of hours studying the names and actions of all kinds of man-made drugs, they are lucky if they receive even a portion of a single course on basic nutrition. Many have none at all. The result is that the average doctor's wife or secretary knows more about practical nutrition than he does.
Returning to the main theme, however, we find that the cartel's influence over the field of orthodox medicine is felt far beyond the medical schools. After the doctor has struggled his way through ten or twelve years of learning what the cartels have decided is best for him to learn, he then goes out into the world of medical practice and immediately is embraced by the other arm of cartel control The American Medical Association.
So let us turn, now, to that part of this continuing story.

Bright Light Therapy and Dementia
By Angela Betsaida B. Laguipo, BSN
Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe a condition characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and impaired reasoning. The most common type of dementia is Alzheimer's disease (AD). It accounts for 60 to 80 percent of all dementia cases.

Dementia Overview
What is dementia? Dementia is not a single condition or disease, but a syndrome characterized by the loss of memory and other mental abilities.
People with dementia may have deficits in short-term memory, problems keeping track of their belongings, preparing meals, remembering dates and appointments, paying bills, and traveling. The disease is generally progressive, which means that the symptoms may start in a mild manner, but as time passes by, they become worse.
Though there are many types of dementia, the most common is AD, the hallmarks of which are the twisted strands of the protein tau (tangles) and deposits of protein fragments called beta-amyloid (plaques) in the brain. Patients with the disease may have evidence of nerve cell damage and death.
Doctors diagnose dementia if two or more cognitive functions are affected, including language skills, memory, spatial skills, judgment, understanding of information, and attention.
What Happens in Dementia
First UK lockdown during COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted dementia care
Fatal chain reaction in Alzheimer's disease starts much earlier than commonly assumed
Z-drugs can increase risk of falls, fractures, and stroke in dementia patients
Dementia has many types, and each one has a different cause. For instance, Korsakoff's syndrome stems from the effects of alcohol. Some types have no definite cause and others progress more rapidly.
The most common type, AD, is characterized by the formation of plaques and tangles in the brain cells. As a result, the nerve cells become damaged or die. The common signs and symptoms include memory loss, impaired ability to name people and places or remember appointments, mood swings, anxiety, agitation, and social withdrawal due to the loss of confidence or problems with communication.
In vascular or multi-infarct dementia, the blood vessels that deliver blood to the brain become damaged. As a result, some brain cells die because the body cannot supply the needed oxygen and nutrients.
On the other hand, dementia with Lewy bodies is characterized by the formation of small spherical protein deposits (Lewy bodies) in the nerve cells. These interrupt the exchange of chemical messengers including dopamine and acetylcholine.
What is Bright Light Therapy?
Bright light therapy is usually the choice of treatment for seasonal affective disorder (SAD). But it has also been used to treat other conditions such as bipolar depression, chronic depressive disorder, circadian phase sleep disorders, postpartum depression, and insomnia and behavioral disturbance in organic dementia.
Benefits of Bright Light Therapy in Dementia Patients
Bright light therapy is a promising new treatment that can help dementia patients. It is thought to affect the brain chemicals related to mood and sleep.
Patients with dementia may have problems with sleep. The brain part responsible for the wake-sleep cycle is the suprachiasmatic nucleus. In patients with dementia, this part can be damaged, resulting in sleep disorders. Bright light therapy has been used to help normalize the sleep-wake pattern.
A study reports that sleep disturbances are common in patients with dementia, particularly AD or related dementia (ADRD). As a result, they have a difficulty in maintaining daytime function, taking a toll on the quality of life of the patients and their caregivers.
In fact, bright light may be a potential treatment for aggressive behavior in ADRD patients. After two weeks of light therapy in patients, there was improvement in the Crichton Royal Behavior Rating Scale (CRBRS) scores and Cohen-Mansfield Inventory (CMAI). Though further research is required, a 24-hour lighting system to enhance circadian entrainment, reduce fall risks, and enhance visibility is recommended.
Another study shows that bright light therapy for sleep disturbance is most effective in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. Bright light therapy administration in the morning can help treat sleep disorder in patients with dementia. This way, the therapy will entrain the circadian rhythm to reduce disruption of the normal sleep-wake cycle.

US: 33-year-old man pleads guilty to felonious assault in Ohio for alleged HIV non-disclosure
Ohio USA Alleged sexual exposure Heterosexual men
HIV-positive man again pleads guilty
Source: The Chronicle
ELYRIA – An HIV-positive Vermilion man has pleaded guilty to felonious assault for the second time in a decade to having sexual relations with a woman without disclosing his medical condition beforehand.
X, 33, entered the plea Wednesday to the charges and his defense attorney, JD Tomlinson, said he expects his client to receive about eight years in prison when he is sentenced later this year by Lorain County Common Pleas Judge Chris Cook.
Prosecutors have said the most recent case against X stemmed from a sexual encounter he had with a woman he met at an Amherst Township bar Aug. 13, 2016. Once the bar closed, X and the woman left together and went swimming before they engaged in sexual relations.
X never told the woman he was HIV-positive, according to prosecutors. The victim told investigators that if she had known that she would never have had sex with him.
Tomlinson said he doesn't believe that because of the medical treatment X has received that he can still transmit HIV to sexual partners, but he also noted that under the law that doesn't matter. Those who have tested positive for HIV are required to inform their sexual partners of their status, he said.
"He regrets it and it was an awful decision that put someone in peril," Tomlinson said.
He also said that part of the reason X decided to take the plea was so the victim wouldn't have to testify if the case went to trial.
X also pleaded guilty years ago after he had sex with several women in 2010 and 2011, including three who became infected with HIV. One of the victims died from an unrelated drug overdose before X was sentenced to five years in prison in 2012.
He was released in February 2016. He had been under the supervision of the Ohio Adult Parole Authority at the time of the most recent incident.
X remains in Lorain County Jail.
Man who infected women with HIV gets five years
ELYRIA — The Vermilion man who infected three women with HIV was sentenced Monday to five years in prison.
X, who pleaded guilty to felonious assault charges last year, apologized during the hearing before Lorain County Common Pleas Judge Mark Betleski handed down the sentence.
"My actions are inexcusable," X said. "There's not a day that goes by that I don't hate myself and regret the reckless choices (I made)."
Two of the three victims were in the courtroom Monday. The third victim died of an unrelated drug overdose, according to Dave Nehr, X's lawyer.
Nehr said his client was genuinely remorseful and his actions will haunt him.
"This stigma is going to be with him essentially for the rest of his life," he said.
According to Vermilion police, X, 27, had sexual contact with two of the women in February of last year and the third woman in October 2010. He also had engaged in sexual relations with several other women who reported their encounters with him after learning he was HIV-positive. Tests on the other women came back negative for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
X was arrested last March after returning to Ohio from West Virginia, where police said he fled after learning he was under investigation.
Police and prosecutors have said that X knew he was infected with the immune system deficiency virus, but engaged in sexual relations with women anyway.
Nehr said that X was a heroin addict who routinely shared needles and had sex with fellow junkies, often trading sex for drugs.
He said his client has been undergoing drug treatment during the time he has been housed at the Lorain County Jail awaiting trial.


When I first arrived in Quebec, I was immediately taken aback by the landscape surrounding me. As someone so familiar with driving along the highway and only seeing miles upon miles of flat land and the occasional farm or tree. Certainly fits the proper name, The Great Plains. How "Great" they are, however, is questionable.
So whenever I take in the nature surrounding me here in Canada, I cannot help but be in awe. After living a life only seeing endless fields, I am reminded of how strong my craving is for texture. Trees, mountains, wildlife, the whole shebang.
Living among the Canadian woods has probably been my favorite aspect of studying abroad. The problem is, when the university considers my stay "Winter Semester," they weren't kidding. Even in April, days that are both sunny and above fifty degrees are rare blessings.
To take advantage of these days, I go on walks. Without a car or free form of transportation, my legs will do. So with a nicer day, or at least one with sunshine and a breeze gentler than the intimidating gusts from previous days, I ventured around my campus until I stumbled a bike path that, when I first arrived, was hidden beneath a thick layer of snow.
The path is quite short, maybe a fifteen-minute walk, but with as many pictures I was capturing, constantly pulling out my phone, the original walk felt much longer. But no photo could truly commemorate the peace that comes with walking alone, no clear destination in mind, among sprawling trees and sounds of animals waking up from a long hibernation. I was honestly disappointed to eventually wander back and hear students talking loudly outside. If it was acceptable for me to become a recluse and build myself a cabin in the Canadian woods, I would without hesitation.
I don't have much time left here, and I really do hope I am afforded enough warm days to continue exploring. So much of my semester abroad has been plagued with weeks upon weeks of hiding beneath blankets inside my dorm, looking out the window to see ceaseless snowfall. Having a day where I'm not chilled to my core when walking outside leaves me in bewilderment. I certainly now appreciate the simplicity of a day that doesn't require a parka even more.
As with my other photography-oriented post, I have a similar disclaimer. I'm not a photographer. I thank the iPhone 7's camera for such high quality photos. I'm often not inspired to take pictures because I'd much rather just be in the moment without a phone in my face, but nature inspires me.
While I'd rather not leave my new oasis in the woods, I'm glad I'll have my words and images to look back on and hopefully motivate me to return to some form of this landscape, Canadian, American, or otherwise.
A little repetitive maybe, but hey, nature is beautiful, and I cannot wait for the days I can soak in more of the sun's warmth and admire all the little but intricate details found only in God's creation. We as humans are on equal ground, made with the same substance as these trees and all other plants and animals. We are part of the ecosystem. I wish we would treat it as such. But on a lovely day, my part is take pictures and look on with wonder.
Thank you! I give credit to some beautiful nearby nature.


What Does Carry Coals to Newcastle Mean?
Home » Phrase and Idiom Dictionary » What Does Carry Coals to Newcastle Mean?
Definition: To do something pointless or redundant, especially when the action would contribute to an existing surplus.
This idiom is used to express the doing, giving, or transporting of something that is redundant because there is already an overabundance of that item. For example, carrying water to the sea or sand to the beach is equivalent to carrying coals to Newcastle.
Most commonly, the idiom is used in the context of buying gifts or transporting material items. It may also be used to describe any activity that is deemed unnecessary or redundant.
The origin of this idiom can be traced back to Newcastle in England. At one time, Newcastle was England's biggest producer of coal. There would be no point in carrying coal to Newcastle because the city had more than enough coal and did not need any more.
The idiom is most commonly used to express that doing something would be pointless because there is already enough of whatever that action would produce.
An example conversation between Cathy and her mom about her little brother's birthday present illustrates the correct use of this idiom.
Cathy: I want to get Timmy a new action figure for his birthday. What do you think?
Mom: That's like carrying coals to Newcastle. He's already got 30 action figures with which he barely plays. He doesn't need any more.
The English idiom carrying coals to Newcastle means to do something pointless, especially when the activity will contribute to an existing overabundance.

Is Your Mouse Double Clicking?
Introduction: This is not actually a review of the Cougar 700M gaming mouse, but rather an investigation into the issue of mouse buttons "double-clicking" when only a single click is made. Below are my observations and my investigation into why my 5 week old Cougar 700M gaming mouse started going crazy this winter. A substantial part of the article is based on my review of the mouse posted at Amazon, where I purchased the 700M.
The Cougar 700M has some good features, but I am writing this review because of the problems that I encountered with the first mouse product that I have purchased from this company. I am not a big fan of the "Transformer' appearance of the mouse, and that is not why I bought it in the first place. I wanted a mouse with high precision that had good placement on the buttons. In general I like the button layout on the 770M, and the feel of the mouse in your hand is good. I don't like the deep grooved surfaces on the left and right sides, they do not need to be that textured, and they tend to pick up dust and other debris over time. They are also hard to clean because the grooves are relatively deep and very narrow. The braided cord also tends to pick up dust and lint over time. The software is good, and gives you lots of control over the mouse setup. You get 4 settings for different dpi/sensitivities.
Now for the problems. After about 5 weeks of normal use (no dropping or other issues that might have affected reliability) the left mouse button started performing "double clicks" when only a single click had been made. At first I did not pay too much attention, but it began to happen more frequently, often while working on a spreadsheet or when selecting files from a folder. So rather than selecting a file or folder, the file or folder would open. I would go to select a cell in the spreadsheet, and instead it would go into text editing mode while I was trying to do a "Ctrl-C" to copy the contents of the cell. As this happened more and more, the mouse became less and less usable, and very frustrating.
As Amazon is not one of our authorized resellers, please process returns with Amazon.
"When purchasing on Amazon, if that particular ad for the item states " Sold by MALABS, fulfilled by Amazon" then warranty service can be processed by HEC as MALABS is one of our authorized reseller.
Unfortunately, that is how the rules work as there are many individuals and small stores out there that sell through Amazon, and we cannot authenticate the nature of the products unless they are our registered resellers.
The mouse was sold from and fulfilled by Amazon. I found it extremely strange that a small outfit like MALABS was considered to be an authorized reseller, but that Amazon was not. Nonetheless, I contacted Amazon and explained the situation to them, and despite the fact that they did not have an obligation to fulfill Cougar's warranty, they immediately cross-shipped a replacement and sent me a return label to return the defective mouse. I have the new mouse installed, and so far no double click problems. We will see what happens over the next few weeks and months. If I have any problems I will update this review.
I received a new 700M and at first all was well. However, within 2 days the new 700M mouse began to show the double click problem much worse than the first one. Sometimes almost every click was a double click (folder or file would open rather than just get selected).
So I began to think that it must be some other problem with my computer (Intel i7 3.3GHz, 12GB RAM, Windows 7 Ultimate). I went into full diagnostics mode.
1) I first moved the USB plug for the mouse from a USB 3.0 socket to a USB 2.0 socket. Same problem.
2) I put an older (~ 1 year old G400s) Logitech mouse on the original USB 3.0 socket. No problem with double clicks at all using the Logitech mouse.
3) I disabled the Cougar mouse control software (UIX) at Windows startup. Same double click problem.
4) I adjusted the double-click speed in the Windows 7 mouse control panel. No luck.
5) Plugged the 700M into a different Windows 7 computer (I noticed a very long driver install time) and guess what? The first click opened a folder rather than selecting it! The problem was just as bad on a different computer, without the Cougar mouse control software having ever been installed.
6) Just for the heck of it, I plugged the 700M into a 14 year old Windows XP computer that was still functioning well. The first click on a folder opened it!
The bottom line was that there appeared to be something very wrong with some Cougar 700M mice. Maybe a bad batch of switches, maybe a design flaw in how the switches are mounted in the aluminum frame. Who knows? I have had many mouse buttons fail to work, but I have never experienced this accidental double-click problem with mice in the past, and I have owned many different mice from different manufacturers. Right now the Logitech G400s is working perfectly. It is not as nice as the 700M, but it doesn't make accidental double-clicks. I have uninstalled the UIX software, am returning the mouse for a refund, and I won't be buying mice from Cougar until the problems are corrected. Cougar mice are made by a Chinese company known as the HEC Group who specializes in aluminum, pharmaceuticals and resorts. Clearly, they are not focusing on their computer hardware quality.
*Second update: After looking into the issue more I see that Logitech mice have gotten many complaints about this issue (although I have not seen this particular problem with any Logitech mice I have owned, which number in the dozens). However, one person on the Logitech forum mentioned that in low humidity environments an electrostatic charge can build up on the plastic, and cause the microswitch to misread the clicks. We just had a polar vortex come through with temps around 0, and the humidity in the house is down to around 38%. Using your breath to humidify the switches supposedly fixes the problem. I have the 700M boxed up and ready to ship back, so I did not test this to see if it worked. Either way, it is a design problem that could be easily fixed with metal switch covers that are grounded. I am tempted to take it out of the box to test it. If I do, I will update.
*Final update -SOLVED; I couldn't resist. I had to test out the low humidity hypothesis. I took the 700M out of the box again, and plugged it in. The problem was severe. I breathed some humidity onto the mouse, and immediately the problem was lessened, but not gone. I slipped a small piece of aluminum foil under the left switch and touched it to a metal object. I removed the aluminum foil and breathed on the mouse again. Problem gone. Unfortunately, we are having a very cold period now and our whole-house humidifier struggles to keep the house at 38 to 40% relative humidity. So until this mouse is redesigned with grounded metal switch covers, or with special non-static plastic switch covers, I just don't want to keep breathing on my mouse to prevent the double click problem.
There is no way to be sure without more testing, but my guess is that the 700M suffers from its overall design. The aluminum frame is one of the best features of the 700M, making it feel better than a plastic mouse body. But the plastic switch covers apparently build up static charge under use and low humidity conditions, and this can discharge to the aluminum body in a way that registers more than one click.
Conclusions: Based on what I was reading at the Logitech Forums, this is a problem that affects many different mice, most often in the winter time when indoor humidity is very low, and static buildup is high. So I can't fault The HEC Group and Cougar beyond the facts that they were not good about warranty replacement, and they designed the mouse so that it has a serious electrostatic buildup problem under low humidity conditions.
RATINGS: I really liked the 700M, but I can't be bothered with breathing on my mouse in the winter to prevent it from double clicking. They need to change the design to prevent electrostatic buildup that interferes with the microswitch operation in low humidity conditions.

Have you made Beef Ragout?
1. Combine onions, green pepper and olive oil in 3-quart casserole.
2. Microwave at high (100%) until green pepper is tender, 2 to 5 minutes.
3. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover. Microwave at high (100%) ten minutes.
4. Reduce power to medium (50%). Microwave until beef and potatoes are tender, 50 minutes to 1 hour, stirring after half the cooking time.
5. If using oven other than carousel, stir 2 or 3 times during cooking.
6. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Serve over rice, noodles or potatoes, if desired.
7. This recipe is from the Sharp Carousel Microwave Cookbook.
8. I made it for dinner tonight because I had only an hour to make dinner and only had a roast thawed.
9. I cut the roast into cubes, and I almost made the time limit, but not quite.
This recipe contains potential food allergens and will effect people with Wheat, Gluten, Bell Pepper, Tomato, Potato, Beef, Onion, Olive Oil allergies.

Further gains in the cryptocurrency markets overnight, the global cryptocurrency market cap up $7 billion, finally rising above the $300 billion mark to $301 billion, Bitcoin continues in a moon-bound direction, gaining $307 to $8304, meanwhile Ethereum appears sluggish rising just $4 to $475. Recent press covering the possibility of Bitcoin ETF's being approved has likely been a major contributor to Bitcoin's bull run, however the SEC has apparently delayed it's ruling under a special extension period which gives the SEC an additional 60 days to reach a decision. The final ruling date as a result is now 21st September.
On the subject of regulatory decisions, India's Supreme Court has delayed their ruling on the Reserve Bank of India's ban on cryptocurrency. The Supreme Court was expected to reach a decision on whether to overturn the central banks ban on cryptocurrencies on July 20th, but delayed the ruling for a further 7 weeks with no clear reason given at the time for the delay. Subsequently the new expected ruling date is now September 11th. The outcome of both the SEC and the Indian Supreme Court rulings will no doubt add volatility to the cryptocurrency markets as the ruling dates approach – if both rulings favour the cryptocurrency markets it could be enough to see unprecedented gains in the markets overall.
General Electric (GE) have filed a blockchain related patent aimed at verifying and validating 3D printed components in its supply chain in a bid to protect itself from fake reproductions of replacement parts. The idea behind the patent itself is not bad (despite being somewhat vague in parts). Essentially the intent behind it appears to be that the build file, materials identifier and build file author(s) and subsequently writing the result for the produced object to a blockchain that can be later queried to verify the object as genuine. There is however a potential issue if GE were to put the idea into practice, in the abstract, the patent claims the intent to "control the manufacturing hardware using the build file to generate the object using the particular lot of manufacturing media". Whilst the build file is of course designed to do just that, it puts GE very much in control of how components are produced (which is a good thing) but also enables GE to be significantly more control over third party suppliers – forcing them to use not just the specified materials, but also the cost, supply times and potentially the manufacturing equipment authorized to use the build files - arguably leading to the possibility of a stranglehold situation where GE could control it's suppliers through the pricing of equipment and media supplies.
. The final ruling date as a result is now 21st September.


1. If you keep up with drinking today you are restarting your drinking. You are either starting or stopping today, not yesterday. Don't see last night as the screw up. See today as the day to get sobriety back within your grip. And it is doable. It will be easiest to stop today. Harder tomorrow and even harder the following days. It is at its easiest today. Please, please trust me. Seize this moment of physical and emotional pain and let it work to your advantage.
2. If it wasn't good last night it won't be good today. Go to yoga, walking, call me… Get away from the booze. I will help anyway I can. At the worst you got a big reminder of why you choose to no longer drink.

Q: How to add callback after registration with Rails3 and Devise How to add a callback to create an account for the registered user.
Devise files (registrations_controller.rb) are under controllers/devise
My user model has has_many :accounts relationship (and the account model has belongs_to :user)
First I don't know where to add the callback (what file?)
Then, how to automatically create a new account with the right user_id of the registered user?
Thanks in advance.

A: You can override devise's registration controller, add callback to create account using filters. Remember to name the file registrations_controller.rb
class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
  after_filter :add_account

  protected

  def add_account
    if resource.persisted? # user is created successfuly
      resource.accounts.create(attributes_for_account)
    end
 end
end

then in your routes.rb tell devise to use overrided controller for registration
devise_for :users, controllers: { registrations: 'registrations'}

A: Here's a thread on the google group that answers your question:
http://groups.google.com/group/plataformatec-devise/browse_thread/thread/6fc2df8d71f8b2f0
Basically it recommends just adding a standard rails "after_create" method to your user model to run the code you need.

A: I'm using both approaches.
after_create in the model to create associated data and
after_filter :send_notification_mailer, only: :create
In the RegistrationsController (same as @naveed)
because in the after_create callback I was receiving the error exception

ActiveJob::DeserializationError: Couldn't find User with id

when sending with Active Job the confirmation email in background with sidekiq because the user it was not persisted sometimes.

A: First, open your version of devise with bundle open devise. Check out the app/controllers/devise/registrations_controller.rb. You will probably see a method called in the create method when a user successfully registers. For my version (3.5.2) it is sign_up.
In routes, you'll need
devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => "registrations" }

The you can define your own RegistrationsController like so:
class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
  protected

  def sign_up(_resource_name, user)
    super
    # do your stuff here
  end
end

Q: Сколько памяти займёт типизированный указатель на массив из 100 4-ёхбайтовых элементов? type
arr  = array [0..100] of integer;
PArr = ^arr;
var
a : array [0..10] of integer;
pa: parr;
begin
...
pa:=@a;

Вопрос: сколько памяти займёт pa?; a?; всего?
Не решит ли компилятор, что если pa указывает на массив из 100 элементов, то программе нужно отделить все 100*4 байт памяти? И как  это можно проверить с  помощью стандартного debug'ера Embarcadero Delphi XE?
A: Неуверен что правильно помню но помоему указатель всегда занимает 1 регистр
те для 32 битной платформы это 4 байта для 64 битной 8.
те pa -4 байта
a  -11*4(integer) байта
Да а в вашем случае проблема может возникнуть при обрашении скажем к 11 элементу массива через "pa" т.к. ошибки не возникнет а просто считается из памяти то что там есть.
