LifeSprout, Inc. Closes $6.5 Million Seed Series Financing, Appoints Industry Veteran Adam Gridley as Executive Chairman
Financing to support clinical development of next generation aesthetic filler and regenerative cell therapy products
BALTIMORE, May 29, 2019 -- (Healthcare Sales & Marketing Network) -- LifeSprout, a privately-held aesthetics and regenerative medicine company founded out of Johns Hopkins University, announced that it has closed a $6.5 million seed-stage financing. LifeSprout is using proceeds from the financing round to support clinical development and scale-up of the first products from its Regenerative Matrix technology platform.
Lead participants in the financing included institutional investors Kairos Venture Partners, Triskelion Investments, Maryland Technology Development Corporation, Ginkgo Gofar, and AngelMD, as well as Medytox, Inc., a strategic investor.
LifeSprout's proprietary Regenerative Matrix platform comprises biomimetic, biocompatible materials engineered to look and feel like natural tissue. The first product from this platform – Lumina™ – is a next generation aesthetic filler that combines the proven safety of hyaluronic acid with biostimulatory effects. Lumina™ fillers exhibit a "what you see is what you get" injection profile and offer strikingly natural feel. The company is developing additional cell therapy products designed to offer powerful regenerative medicine solutions to patients with orphan diseases.
LifeSprout also announced the appointment of Adam Gridley as Executive Chairman of its Board of Directors. Mr. Gridley is a pioneer in the regenerative medicine and aesthetics industries, having held corporate and product development roles at BioForm Medical, which developed and launched one of the first soft tissue fillers – Radiesse™. He then served as Senior Vice President of Product Development and Technical Operations at Merz, one of the world's largest aesthetics companies. Most recently Mr. Gridley was Chief Executive Officer of a restorative cell therapy company developing biologics for cartilage repair. He joined the LifeSprout Board of Directors in April 2018.
"We are delighted to welcome a visionary leader – Adam Gridley – to this important role. His addition is a powerful testament to the technology and team we've built at LifeSprout and will be an important catalyst as we look to the clinic," said Sashank Reddy, MD, PhD, co-founder and President of LifeSprout. "In a few years we have taken the technology from inception at Johns Hopkins to preclinical manufacturing of our first products in aesthetic medicine. We have also developed an exciting pipeline of cell therapy products for true regenerative solutions."
"I am excited to join LifeSprout as Executive Chairman. LifeSprout has positioned itself for the future of soft tissue restoration – developing novel biomaterials with regenerative capacity that offer beautiful and natural results," noted Mr. Gridley. "I am looking forward to helping steer the team toward clinical implementation of this exciting pipeline."
"We are very pleased to have this group of sophisticated and diverse investors participate in this seed financing, and we are excited to add Adam to our team," said Eric Goorno, CEO of LifeSprout. "Their commitment to and support of the company during its rapid growth phase is another important validation of our product platform, which is positioned to bring important new benefits to our patient and physician customers. We look forward to initiating our pivotal clinical studies for the Lumina™ filler family, as we advance the product line toward regulatory clearance and commercialization."

CINCINNATI (AP) — Coach Zac Taylor says he never doubted the toughness of the Bengals offensive line, no matter how many backups had to be pushed into service to replace the injured starters.
"We've had confidence throughout," Taylor insisted Monday, a day after Cincinnati dominated Buffalo to advance to the AFC championship game. "I think it's everybody else who wants to create a narrative of no confidence."
Nobody would have blamed Taylor if he had been a little uneasy about the situation. The Bengals were going into snowy Buffalo with three replacements on an offensive line that had been such an important part of Cincinnati's winning streak in November and December.
Jackson Carman, 23, started an NFL game at tackle for the first time, slotting in for Jonah Williams, who was out after dislocating a kneecap last week. Hakeem Adeniji started his third game this season in place of La'el Collins (knee) at right tackle, and Max Scharping started a second at right guard for Alex Cappa (ankle).
The result was a 27-10 win and one of the most complete games of the season for the Bengals offense.
The line benefited from Joe Burrow's ability to speed through his progressions and get the ball out fast.
The third-year quarterback picked apart the Bills, completing his first nine passes and giving the Bengals a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. Running back Joe Mixon picked up yards in chunks, finishing with 105 yards and a touchdown. Burrow was sacked just once and took only three hits.
"They were mauling guys," Mixon said of the O-line.
Mixon had his first 100-yard game since putting up 153 yards and four touchdowns in the Week 9 win over Carolina that started the Bengals on their current 10-game win streak.
Center Ted Karras was credited with keeping the linemen together and making sure they were communicating. Karras got banged up himself, getting his right knee taped in the second quarter and visibly limping, but he played through it.
"We knew we had a big task on our shoulders against a great defensive front with three (new) guys coming in, and the biggest moment in our football lives up until this point, so unbelievable performance," said Karras, a seven-year veteran who spent the first part of his career blocking for Tom Brady in New England. "I'm so proud of the guys."
Adeniji, who started nine games last season and sometimes struggled with pass protection, has held his own at right tackle since Collins tore an ACL against the Patriots on Christmas Eve.
"You got three new guys that haven't played together a whole lot. It's a loud environment, which already makes it difficult with guys who are on the same page," Adeniji said.
"Obviously, there's other things, but that was the biggest thing. I feel like we were able to nail that, and we were in unison on a lot of the stuff that we were doing, and it pays dividends."
Cappa, who has an ankle injury, and Williams are considered week to week so their status for Sunday's AFC championship game at Kansas City is uncertain.
Taylor would say only that both players were "improving every day, and we'll see where it ends up."
Regardless of who can go, Cincinnati now knows it can adapt and thrive against the Kansas City Chiefs, a team the Bengals beat 27-24 on Dec. 4.
Adeniji said it's all about keeping Burrow clean. The Bengals don't need to be reminded that he was sacked 19 times in the postseason last year.
"Joe is one of the premier players in the league," Adeniji said. "He's such a leader for our team and does so much for our team, we want to do our job to be able to let him perform to the best of his ability — because he's going to take us where we need to go."

Communications and marketing mastermind, Stacy Lieberman, leaves CSUN
Christina Cocca

After leading projecets centered on building CSUN pride, she will take her skills to the Autry National Center. Photo credit: Ken Scarboro/ Senior Photographer
>>CLARIFICATION: "CSUN Today" will launch this week, not on Aug. 27. And Lieberman is not solely responsible for the positioning platform, she assisted in its development.
Stacy Lieberman, associate vice president of marketing and communications at University Advancement for CSUN, announced her resignation on Aug. 10, 2012, effective today.
During her time at CSUN beginning in January 2011, Lieberman contributed a multitude of ideas and improvements for CSUN.
Along with her staff, she developed "CSUN Today," an online newsroom that will promote the University through the web. "CSUN Today" launched on Aug. 27.
Lieberman developed a new positioning platform to help generate pride internally and externally for CSUN's many accomplishments.
The platform, "CSUN. Shine." was unveiled at the Fall 2012 Freshman Convocation that took place on Aug. 23.
Lieberman hopes the new platform will distinguish the university for its hands-on approach and care for student success for those who haven't set foot on campus.
Lieberman also co-led the Web Coordination Group, a committee responsible for graphic and style guidelines for WebOne, CSUN's new web content management system to be implemented in the coming months.
Before her position at CSUN, she worked as the director of external affairs at the Skirball Cultural Center for nearly 10 years.
"I had been in the cultural world for years, but I heard of this opportunity to create and unify a cohesive message for CSUN's story and the excellence that was here," Lieberman said.
Vance T. Peterson, vice president for University Advancement at CSUN, hired Lieberman when he knew her skill set and experience "would be a terrific fit for CSUN."
"Stacy contributed enormously to the University, and she is a first-rate professional who will be greatly missed," Peterson said.
Another major contribution from Lieberman was the reorganization of protocols for emergency communications on campus. She evolved the structure and responsibilities of the communications staff in the Emergency Operations Center to better respond to social media during times of crisis, which proved beneficial after last year's gunman scare.
Lieberman also established "Campus Communicators," a group of over 50 CSUN staff members who represent all divisions of the University to build cohesive communications. This group collaborates on social media applications, branding and web communications among other initiatives.
Kevin Lizarraga, part of the Campus Communicators group at the University Student Union, said Lieberman laid the groundwork for future accomplishments.
"Before her, there was no arena for campus professionals to talk about goals under one umbrella," Lizarraga said, who has been the USU's marketing manager for over six years. "That was a lofty and ambitious goal for her, and it was a remarkable accomplishment."
Lizarraga said she started a mission for CSUN to have a stronger brand, and he wished Lieberman could stay.
"I am a big Stacy fan," Lizarraga said. "I could talk about her all day."
Although Lieberman will be greatly missed by her colleagues, she has accepted a new position at the Autry National Center at Griffith Park as vice president of communications, marketing and visitor experience.
In her letter of resignation, Lieberman said she will lead a team that will help "redefine and expose to a larger public the wonders and complexities of the American West."
Lieberman said she is confident her new opportunity will be rewarding and will help her provide more balance in her life.
"My track record is helping public institutions with public narrative…building pride, owning successes, engaging community, alumni, students and stakeholders in the story," Lieberman said. "I am strongly hoping the groundwork I've laid paved the way for CSUN's story to be told in prideful ways."
A successor for the position has yet to be named.

'Here Comes Summer' was an event held at the Spitalfields City Farm, hosted by Mike's table. Over the course of two evenings the team prepared and delivered two delicious three-course meals made from surplus food. The backdrop for the event, the wonderful Spitalfields City Farm, provided an oasis of calm in the middle of London. The combination of eating 'al fresco', watching the sun go down over the City and eating fantastic, professionally cooked, food was a highlight for many of the guests.
Both evenings started with a welcome drink reception. On the second evening, guests were invited to try a drink from a range of mocktails - the 'Spitalfield Sunrise', a refreshing strawberry based mocktail, was the biggest hit. After all the guests had arrived, they were all led to the tables, laden with artisan bread.
As is common at a Mike's table event, the evenings weren't just about the food, they were also about the conversation! There was a pleasant hum of discussion and laughter throughout both evenings. Many of the comments about the events have stated how lovely it was to meet other people in a friendly, informal and relaxed environment.
As the sun set, candles were lit on the tables and the nights came to a close. The guests departed with full stomachs and smiles on their faces.
"It was a blast. Thanks for getting me involved!"
"It was a complete privilege to share Thursday and Friday with you, guests and the team; you have something really special there. Will be great to do help again ;-)"
"It was so lovely to see so many happy people. Those two boys were in the element, running around, playing, chatting to us as we made the trifles and eating them. It was lovely to see the smiles on their faces.
"What a lovely evening and brilliantly organised. We did enjoy it."
"Thank you again to you and your team for another brilliant evening of delicious food and good company and the granola and apples and was really good to chat with you after and thank you for spending time to do that."
"If I had to give you a score out of ten, I'd give you a ten."
"Thank you again so much for last night - it was a truly lovely evening and so wonderful to see the care that went into giving everyone such a special experience."
"From our side, the people we have spoken to since really enjoyed and appreciated the evening - both the food and the social company. This is a great thing to be able to refer our clients to."
Raph from SHP gave us 4 CD compilations of music he thought we'd like - we love it and they'll be the playlists in the kitchen for our next events!

When Jacques Issongo saw young men of LUCHA devoted to fighting for social justice and accountability in the Democratic Republic of Congo, he felt a call within that prompted him to join the movement. A movement that has brought significant change in the DRC while on the other hand, has cost him his job and family. He has faced countless physical assaults and arbitrary arrests as a result of his involvement with LUCHA.
I met up with Jacques at the African Human Rights Network (AHRN) headquarters in Dar es Salaam Tanzania. Here, he came for two reasons. "I travelled to Dar es Salaam, one, to attend the annual workshop of Young African Defenders in Action since I am a member. Two, to relax my body from the beatings I have received in my home country of Congo. We conducted a peaceful protest against the heavy taxes that were imposed by the government on all phone users since this is exploitation. In return we were intimidated through beatings," he told me during our interview. His trip was facilitated by the African Human Rights Defenders, an organization that values activists and all human rights defenders.
About LUCHA
Since its colonization in 1885, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has been plagued with violence, conflict and underdevelopment. Although the country has not officially relapsed into civil war since 2003, it has experienced an extremely negative post-war peace. Since 2008, armed groups have proliferated in the country. Today, around 70 different armed groups operate in its troubled Eastern provinces of North and South Kivu. A small youth-led movement emerged in Goma in 2012 that encouraged Congolese citizens to fight for the promotion and respect of human rights. It called itself LUCHA, a portmanteau of the French phrase Lutte pour le changement ('struggle for change'). LUCHA sought to use peaceful protests to hold the government to account and agitate for change – particularly with regard to improving the dignity of the people through service delivery and social justice.
Jacques during on of the protests
In 2016, they protested against President Kabila's decision to postpone democratic elections. Ever since, they have been fighting for democracy though the price of protest has proved to be really high. "In the most extreme case, I was forced to flee my residence for the forest for a month or two. This happened in 2018, after I had left prison in December of 2017. We were protesting against then President Kabila under a campaign dubbed #ByeByeKabila. I became 'wanted' in Kananga, the capital city of the Kasai-Central Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is painful and hard living in hiding as I was. I had to change cities to keep myself safe. Living in fear forced my wife to leave with our baby and they have never come back since. Nevertheless I have no regrets," he narrated fiercely.
Jacques disclosed to me how at one point he was wanted dead. "I really can't tell what their intentions were, all I know is that a reporter told me to hide. He said the police had been ordered to maim my legs with bullets. They had planned to shoot me."
The Significant Changes
Despite the harsh injustices, Jacques together with other LUCHA activists have remained dedicated to spreading awareness about poor service delivery and governance practices, and holding the government to account. "I am proud that right now I can confidently identify myself as a LUCHA. Some years back around 2015, I couldn't even wear a LUCHA T-shirt. We were all living in fear as much as we were fighting so hard to bring change. Our greatest success was when our protests finally led to Kabila being voted out after 18 years. Congo had a new president. We have been able to hold several dialogues with government authorities. Even though we are still not yet where we intend to be, there is great progress," he told me while showing the writings on his LUCHA T-shirt.
'Congo is big and demands greatness from all of us – Patrice E. Lumumba' read the t-shirt he had on. Patrice Lumumba was a great Congolese politician and an independent leader who played a significant role in the transformation of his country. Jacques desires to see more of such leaders in his country who will lead the people of Congo independently and selflessly. "I have personally sacrificed my life for the betterment of my country's people. I lost my job as an assistant professor in a university and on top of that lost my family. But, I have never regretted nor looked back since my efforts have benefitted millions of other Congolese. I believe someday we shall equally have leaders who will value us and lead the country with the dignity it deserves," he said full of hope.
Young African Defenders in Action (YADA)
His passion for humanity landed him in the Young African Defenders in Action, a leading pan-Africanist youth network dedicated to promote and protect human rights and encourage youth groups to avoid violence. It connects and supports young defenders from different African countries working for a better Africa. "We are currently having a two week workshop that consists of young defenders working on community projects, to share experiences on our daily activities and current challenges in Africa," he said.
Jacques- second from the right, together with other YADA members
According to Jacques, the workshop was very fruitful and of great benefit to him as they were able to learn from each other's experiences. They realized that they are tackling similar problems across the continent and if they work together with combined synergies, change is bound to happen. By the end of the workshop, he was elected as the coordinator of YADA through voting. "As human rights defenders, we have a great responsibility for Africa, especially for my country Congo. Our endless protests are a fight for change and equality but most people do not realize that. It is a very difficult fight and all we can ask for is support. Let us speak in unison and demand what is rightfully ours," he concluded.

The Pentagon's top general said Thursday the U.S. military's reach could extend even further into Iraq if the anti-Islamic State campaign gains momentum, and he held out the possibility of eventually recommending to President Obama that U.S. troops take on the riskier role of calling in air strikes.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the White House's announcement Wednesday that up to 450 more U.S. troops would be sent to Iraq to invigorate its flagging campaign against the Islamic State is a natural extension of U.S. assistance. He said the base the troops will set up will not produce instant results but may serve as a model to be replicated elsewhere in Iraq, possibly requiring even more U.S. troops. "The campaign is built on establishing these lily pads, if you will, that allow us to continue to encourage the Iraqi security forces (to move) forward, and as they go forward there may be a point where" additional such U.S. hubs are called for to enable the Iraqis to succeed, he told reporters traveling with him to Naples.
Dempsey said he has not recommended putting U.S. troops closer to the battlefield to call in air strikes — a step that critics of the current U.S. approach say is overdue, even though it raises the risk of American casualties. But he pointedly held out the possibility that it may become necessary.
Dempsey said the use of American troops to call in air strikes could even happen in the push to retake Ramadi, a city lost by Iraqi forces who had not received U.S. training, or in a counteroffensive to oust the Islamic State from other key cities like Mosul or Beiji.


While talking a walk through my local Tuesday Morning store, I saw several sets of fancy chargers on display. I stopped to look at them, thinking about what elegant tablescapes they would make for holiday parties, especially for Christmas, New Year's or Valentine's. I love to use chargers under my white china dinner plates to add color and verve to my tablesettings. In the olden days, chargers were placeholders at the table, used before the plates were served by the servants and then removed. Nowadays, chargers can be removed or stay on the table under the dishes to achieve a certain look.
One particular charger caught my eye–it was a silver charger with three rows of clear glass beads around its rim. I immediately thought that I could easily replicate the look by gluing beads from my own glass bead stash around the rim of my own silver chargers. So I went home and got out my silver chargers and glass beads. I began the simple process of creating my own glass bead silver chargers. Acrylic, metal and wooden chargers can be found in most craft and home decor stores. In the craft stores you can find plainer chargers for about $2 each, and the prices will rise according to the store or the elaborateness of the charger. I used an inexpensive acrylic charger with a slightly raised border on the outside rim. The inexpensive glass beads are also found in craft, home décor, and discount stores, as well as dollar stores.
Two glass beads created two rows around the rim because they fit perfectly. I laid out all the glass beads to make certain that they would all fit, before I began to glue them down. An epoxy or super glue will work well for most glass to metal joints. An epoxy will give you a stronger joint and provides more time to position your pieces precisely. When gluing glass, make sure the surface is completely clean and dry. Take care to not leave fingerprints as the oil and sweat from your hands will interfere with the bond. This entertaining craft project is very easy to do and is not too time-consuming if you are only making four to six chargers. These embellished chargers should make a sparkling special table to impress your guests, especially when you tell them you made them yourself! You might also choose to make one or two of these chargers to use as platters for appetizers or desserts instead of using them under your dinner plates. Enjoy!

We asked a bunch of grown adults to label diagrams of male and female reproductive systems. This is fifth-grade science, so it should've been easy, right?

The who what and why behind TEEPTHIS.
The TEEP THIS mission is to bring more attention to the sport and culture of Muay Thai kickboxing by showcasing it's amazing fights, intense training and colorful people through the art of photography, while chronicling my own journey into the ring. My name is Charles Little II and I started this website in April 2016 after training Muay Thai for about one year. I fell in love with Muay Thai and started this site so that I could share what I love. I hope that the content here can help inspire others as Muay Thai has inspired me. Through the offerings at this website, the conversations and contributions generated here and the continued practice of Muay Thai, I hope to connect with other like-minded Muay Thai practitioners, advocates and veterans, visit as many gyms and training facilities as I can, workout with trainers and fighters of all levels and experiences and share what I learn along the way. I hope that my Muay Thai journey chronicled here and the stories, images and videos that are shared here on TeepThis.com can be an inspiration to others as Muay Thai has been to me. An inspiration to regularly take self-inventory, to transcend excuses and avoid blame; to constantly challenge myself and continually strive to create the best version of ME that I can each and every day. Train hard, live well, love much, laugh often. Sawaddee Kap.
Following Muay Thai blogs and Muay Thai fighters has been an integral part of my Muay Thai journey since I was first introduced to The Art of 8 Limbs in the spring of 2015. A few of the names that I follow regularly include The Muay Thai Guys Sean Fagen and Paul Banasiak, Kru Ricardo Perez from Team-Toro Muay Thai in Chicago, my favorite fighters like Buakaw, Malaipet, The Great Saenchai, Gaston Belaños, Julio "The Don" Pena, WCK Full Rules Mauy Thai and the very first nak muay that I ever met online and to whom I have the utmost of respect and reverence the mighty Sylvie Von Duuglas-Ittu. Her youtube videos with Master K were what I found when I first began searching for clues as to how to execute a round-kick with maximum power and minimal effort after my Krav Maga instructor kicked me across the room whilst still in mid-sentence. Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself, let me start at the beginning.
I began training Krav Maga in February of 2015. This was actually my second time visiting the Krav Maga self-defense system. I'm not sure what was different about this time around. It's not like I made myself any new promises or declared any resolutions as I re-approached the training, I just got tired of sucking in my gut and fantasizing about living a healthier lifestyle and found myself walking into the Krav Maga Worldwide training center in West Los Angeles all over again. Krav Maga is a fucking great fight system and the way that they teach it at KMW makes so much sense and makes the training accessible to anyone and everyone. Whatever your physical condition, whether you're a man or woman, hefty or petite, it doesn't matter; Krav will work for you! The physicality of Level 1 Krav Maga, yes sure it's demanding especially when you're first walking in off the street, but you'll survive it. It's not like Muay Thai where you could actually end up throwing up in your own mouth or tearing a muscle or something on your first day and just never come back. Krav is doable for anyone and that's important when it comes to finding the confidence or motivation within yourself to not just quit and go back to the training day after day until you actually find yourself in good enough shape to start really enjoying yourself! Which is precisely what happened in my case. I trained Krav Maga monday through friday every morning at 7am and often times in the evenings as well; bringing my training frequency to 5-10 times per week. It may sound excessive when you read it but its not. Of the 16 hours that we have each day to live our lives (less the 8 hours we spend sleeping), I've decided to devote 1-2 hours a day to taking care of ME first. Before my family whom I love, my friends whom I adore and my work to which I am devoted. That leaves 14-15 hours per day to cater to everyone and everything else in the world. When you think of it like that, it doesn't make sense not to devote 1-2 hours to yourself per day! It's all just a matter of perspective. Now, where was I? Oh yes, Krav Maga.
About 3 months into Krav Maga training I was in class with instructor Jay Denton who upon introducing the "roundhouse" or "round kick" or "shin kick" to the class proceeded to invite me to the front of the room to aid in his demonstration. The 6'3" 200-plus pounder was explaining the technique while positioning the kick-shield over my left ribcage. Then he ever so effortlessly sent a round kick at the pad that I was holding firmly against my body. It felt like I had just been hit with a baseball bat and all the while the intonation in his voice never fluttered. Not a single bit. After class I cornered him and inquired about the kick and what it would take for me to possess such a skill one day? "It's all in the hips Charles…" he told me. So as soon as I had a chance I went perusing around the internet searching "roundkick" and "how to round kick". I found this youtube video "The secret of Muay Thai is in the Hips and Standing Leg" . I've been hooked on Muay Thai ever since!

Q: JAX-RS in relation to Jersey and JSRs I'm trying to get my head around some concepts in Java:

*

*JSR(s): describe specifications, but carry no actual implementations. E.g. http://jsr311.java.net/ is the "home" for "Java™ API for RESTful Web Services". It serves as a common reference for all implementations of JSR-311.

*One can download the interfaces (?) of JSR-311 from http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.ws.rs/jsr311-api, however, unless you are implementing JSR-311 by yourself these have no particular value?

*JSR(s) will usually/always have a reference implementation. To find it you'll have to google "JSR XXX reference implementation" or see the specifications home page (e.g. http://jsr311.java.net/)

*For JSR-311 this reference implementation is Jersey. Using maven you can get the jersey server from http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.sun.jersey/jersey-server/1.9. Since
Jersey provides an implementation according to the interfaces found in http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.ws.rs/jsr311-api, you only need to add Jersey as a dependency in your project and not the jsr311-api itself. (this applies to all JSR technologies?)

*Putting both http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.ws.rs/jsr311-api and http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.sun.jersey/jersey-server/1.9 as dependencies in your project will possibly cause classpath problems?

Am I completely off or onto someting?

A: *

*Yes, this isn't anything new. Think about JDBC, java provides the
interfaces (Connection, Statement, ResultSet etc) but it is up
to database vendors to provide implementations.

*If you're using a JSR-311 implementation like Jersey or Apache CXF
then you'll annotate your classes with the javax.ws.rs annotations, such as @Path, @GET, @Produces etc. This is why you need to explicitly have JSR-311 as a maven dependency.

*Yes, usually. Have a look at the JSR list on wiki.

*You need both the JSR and the implementation. The annotations are in the JSR, the implementation provides supporting classes, such as com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer.

*No, it is necessary to have both as dependencies (see point 4); you won't get classpath conflicts.

A: *

*—

*One can download files from a variety of sources. To get the most official version of the JSR-311 specification go to its JCP download page. It's quite possible that you can't get a JAR file (with all the interfaces and stuff) from JCP pages, but still, this is the official source. (There are always nice PDFs of public drafts also!)

*—

*You're right, because Jersey contains the API defined by JSR-311, however I would add a compile dependency to the jsr311-api JAR file and add Jersey as runtime dependency. This creates a nice separation between API and implementation and you can swap out your JSR-311 implementation anytime [sic]. If you intend to use Jersey all the way include only Jersey. One less dependency in your POM.

*If Jersey packages the same API as the jsr311-api JAR contains, it won't. If it packages something different, well, that would be awful! Maven will probably bark at compile time if one has a corrupt JSR-311 API on its classpath (I've already seen lots of java.lang.ClassFormatError: Absent Code attribute in method that ... errors, so it won't go unnoticed, that's for sure).

Other than these, you're right.

Q: Error getting trigrams using gensim's Phrases I want to extract all bigrams and trigrams of the given sentences.
from gensim.models import Phrases
documents = ["the mayor of new york was there", "Human Computer Interaction is a great and new subject", "machine learning can be useful sometimes","new york mayor was present", "I love machine learning because it is a new subject area", "human computer interaction helps people to get user friendly applications"]

sentence_stream = [doc.split(" ") for doc in documents]
bigram = Phrases(sentence_stream, min_count=1, threshold=2, delimiter=b' ')
trigram = Phrases(bigram(sentence_stream, min_count=1, threshold=2, delimiter=b' '))

for sent in sentence_stream:
    #print(sent)
    bigrams_ = bigram[sent]
    trigrams_ = trigram[bigrams_]

    print(bigrams_)
    print(trigrams_)

The code works fine for bigrams and capture 'new york' and 'machine learning' ad bigrams.
However, I get the following error when I try to insert trigrams.
TypeError: 'Phrases' object is not callable

Please let me know, how to correct my code.
I am following the example documentation of gensim.

A: According to the docs, you can do:
from gensim.models import Phrases
from gensim.models.phrases import Phraser

phrases = Phrases(sentence_stream)
bigram = Phraser(phrases)
trigram = Phrases(bigram[sentence_stream])

bigram, being a Phrases object, cannot be called again, as you are doing so.

PS4 will ship without many core features, requires 300MB day-one patch
By Grant Brunner on October 25, 2013 at 2:45 pm
Sony has promised a number of outstanding features for its new game console, but today we learned of a substantial catch for early adopters. While features like Remote Play, game broadcast, and play-as-you-download are still slated for the PS4's launch, they will not ship on the first production run. Instead, you'll need to download a 300MB patch on launch day to gain access to a laundry list of promised PS4 features.
Earlier today, Sony announced that software update 1.50 will be released alongside the initial launch of the PS4. It'll weigh in at a hefty 300MB, and will enable a number of vital aspects of the new console. Specifically, this update will include Vita Remote Play, second screen functionality with tablets, gameplay recording, game broadcast, play-as-you-download support, multi-account functionality, party chat, face recognition, voice commands, a background music player, online multiplayer, and the ability to play Blu-ray and DVD movies. If you can't pull down the patch immediately, none of those core features will work at all on your shiny new $399 chunk of plastic and silicon.
If you recall, the Wii U had a similar patch requirement on day-one. Unfortunately, Nintendo's servers didn't have nearly enough throughput, so it took a number of hours to get the Wii U up and running. In fact, the lengthy patching process even caused some consoles to fail before a single game was played. Sony's track record with patches and download speeds is far from spotless, so don't be surprised if the initial patching experience causes a few problems.
So, if Sony already knows the console needs an update, why can't it patch the PS4's firmware before launch? Unfortunately, that isn't feasible with current production techniques. Since we're only a few weeks out from the PS4 launch, most of the units are likely already off the assembly line, and being prepared for worldwide shipment. Clearly, the engineers were working on the PS4 until the last possible moment, and that means a number of features got left on the cutting room floor. In previous generations, leaving this many features unfinished would likely call for a delay. Now, it's simply standard operating procedure to ship a broken product with a day-one patch.
Keep in mind, the Xbox One will also receive a day-one update, so many of the same issues may befall that platform as well. While it's not clear what Redmond intends on patching, Marc Whitten claims that the download will only take 15-20 minutes. Hopefully, the network infrastructure will actually be able to handle the load of hundreds of thousands of customers updating at once. If not, we can expect a record amount of bellyaching across the entire internet.

E. Lockhart is known for her feminist writing, and Frankie does not disappoint as a heroine who challenges conventions on how women are expected to behave. How? Frankie takes on the old boys club in her boarding school, directing a male secret society thorough a series of pranks with a political agenda. Only problem: the boys don't know that she is the mastermind.
The dialogue between Frankie and her boyfriend Matthew is excellent. In fact, all dialogue in this book really shines. It's like you really hear the characters speaking in the room with you.
I grew up reading PG Wodehouse – slightly stained, yellowed copies that smelled of vanilla and glue – purchased from secondhand bookstores. My favourite was "Leave it to Psmith" where a particular fire alarm prank at a boarding school had me in stitches every time I read it.
I'm not sure how popular PG Wodehouse is with the younger crowd. It certainly wasn't popular when I was reading it. But even if you don't get the PG Wodehouse illusions and english boys boarding school traditions, it is not necessary to enjoy "The Disreputable History…" In fact, I was not in stitches with the "The Disreputable History…" as it is more of a social commentary.
The novel asks elite education systems if they include all religions, all cultural practices and women as well as men. It asks why we're still holding onto a male dominated view of education? Why women can't be devious, intelligent prankers, as well as men?
And honestly, I'm not sure exactly how important this fight is since the setting, again, was in an elite boarding school. Frankie knows that her future opportunities are pretty much guaranteed whether she runs the secret society or not. And yet… even though Frankie is incredibly privileged, "The Disreputable History…" suggests that there are still inequalities even among society's upper crust. Will Frankie make it to the top of the world? Or will some men's club keep her out?
Does this matter? Or is this extreme privilege in society a problem onto itself?
1) I attended a Harry Potter party that coincided with the beginning of the school year at my local library. There was a wide range of ages from students of Hogwarts to Alumni. We drank butter beer (caramel soda with syrup and ice-cream), made crafts (wands, spell books and tote bags), and watched a local improv comedy group preform themed skits.
2) I read "Beedles the Bard," the collection of Wizard Fairytales written by JK Rowling.
3) I listened to "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" on audio book. Let's just say that Voldermort still scares the crap out of me. I barely slept the night after listening to the final chapter. Funny how my bathrobe on the back of my chair looks exactly like Voldermort with the lights out. Oh my god.
4) Sometimes I wear a Ravenclaw pin on my button-down shirt. I know it's more trendy to be Hufflepuff or Slytherin, or some weird combo like Griffinpuff, but. I just can't. I'm a Ravenclaw thorough and thorough.
5) I'm rewatching Harry Potter movies 4 (Daniel Radcliffe has the best hair in this one), and 7 parts 1 and 2 just for the feels.
I tell you guys. The magic's still going strong even with the muggles.
But I wanted to talk about another item on the list entirely.
Yep. I did it. Out of peer pressure from my YA book club.
It didn't knock me off my broomstick to say the least. And I was disappointed. Very disappointed.
There were so many directions the play could've gone in. A whole new year at Hogwarts, a whole new threat to conquer, a whole new cast of characters that didn't involve the golden trio. And some of this happened, but it wasn't exploited to the fullest extent. Instead, the writers relied on one thing above all others: fan service.
Fans want more official Potter in any shape or form. It doesn't matter about the quality, it just matters that it exists. It doesn't matter how many times people joke about Voldermort's lack of a nose. It's still funny… or is it?
Let me just say it: Watching Harry, Ron and Hermione in office jobs with greying hair, parenting problems, and developing guts is not magical. It's *bloody* depressing.
No, there's nothing wrong with it, but I like Harry Potter to stand for hope. For light in the midst of darkness, for extraordinary among the mundane. And to see the hero of my youth reduced to someone more muggle than wizard, that was very depressing indeed.
As for the plot involving the kids, it was a tired rendition of the plot from the fourth book. Bringing the threat of Voldermort back in the running killed the satisfaction of the seventh book's resolution. Can't there be other dark wizards? Must we always rely on Voldermort? Why can't Voldermort stay dead where he belongs?
Harry Potter is the Iliad and Odyssey of our time. We know the myths inside and out. We don't need a rehash, because the original work is timeless onto itself.

Men's Pain, Women's Pain, and Our Pain: Adventure to the World of Gender and Pain: Sex, Gender, and Pain.
Okifuji, Akiko Ph.D.
The Clinical Journal of Pain: March 2001 - Volume 17 - Issue 1 - p 102
Special Topic Series: Musculoskeletal Pain: Book Reviews
University of Washington; Seattle, Washington, U.S.A.
Sex, Gender, and Pain. Edited by Roger B. Fillingim. Seattle: IASP Press, 2000, 416 pages, $79.00
Sex, Gender, and Pain contains an exhaustive range of expertise, from genetics and neuroscience to psychosocial gender issues, and it tries to uncover underlying mechanisms in regard to sex differences in the human pain experience. Premier scholars who apply their knowledge in their respective fields to the sex and gender issues associated with pain wrote seventeen chapters and a concluding chapter.
Pain is highly a personal experience; therefore, we encounter large individual differences. This situation causes much frustration in clinicians and researchers whose attempts to understand and to treat pain are marred by the simple reality that patients are individuals. John and Jane experience pain in different ways. Is this because of John's Y chromosome? Jane's estrogen level? How they were brought up? Or doctors' biases in evaluating men and women? Is it because John is from Mars and Jane is from Venus? Everyone experiences pain somewhat differently. Do sex and gender contribute to the individual differences in pain over and beyond other sex- and gender-neutral factors?
Given the history of our awareness in sex differences and gender differences in various human experiences, our understanding of the effects of sex and gender on pain experience is surprisingly primitive. The first part of this volume provides some idea of the complexity of the issue. Effects of reproductive hormones on the central nervous system, for example, are widespread and variable. Similarly, it seems difficult, if not impossible, to delineate the exact sequence of boyhood and girlhood circumstances determining how we express sensory experience. Moreover, sex and gender are salient issues in our identity, but they account only for a portion of what we are. It is a daunting task to delineate the responsibility of sex and gender in who we are and how we experience pain.
Pain is a complex, multifactorial experience. Attempts to find lawful, orderly relations among sex, gender, and pain necessitate careful investigation of all aspects of life. The middle part of the book explores various analog situations and investigates the roles of hormonal, menstrual, reproductive, and cultural factors in experimental pain and analgesic responses. The last third of the volume covers clinical epidemiology and specific clinical syndromes that are known to be more prevalent in women (headache, fibromyalgia, temporomandibular pain, and irritable bowel syndrome) or are femalespecific (genital pain). To be sure, Sex, Gender, and Pain does not have all the answers. One gets a clear sense that conflicting and inconsistent results are more the rule than the exception in this field. What the book provides is a chance to evaluate sex and gender differences in pain from a range of perspectives. The volume contains a variety of basic and clinical topics, and readers cannot help but feel privileged to explore unknown territory guided by the first-rate scientists who authored the chapters. Each chapter serves as a valuable resource, providing clear direction in its respective field. Our journey has just begun. This book is a milestone in our continuing quest for better understanding of the enigma of pain.

Do they check your finances upon entry to the UK? Or just when you actually make the application for the visa?
Standard international requirement in most countries are that one possess an onward ticket if not resident or the means to purchase one. it used to be $300 US and may well have changed since my travelling days. Expect to be asked at immigration.
Yeah sorry, just to clarify, I was meaning the 2000 or so pounds you are required to have for the working holiday visa.
Thanks for you reply tho.
I think the answer is that they could do if they wanted. Laws have tightened up enormously of late. It's all a matter of luck.

Boise is now the least affordable housing market in U.S., study says
Sally Krutzig
The Idaho Statesman
Toronto headlines and news articles declared their city was no longer the second least affordable place across the United States and Canada. The Canadian city was "beat out," said the Daily Hive, by "one unexpected US city: Boise, Idaho."
Boise is officially the second least affordable housing market on the continent. When it comes to housing, only Vancouver, B.C., is worse for home buyers, according to a new study from Oxford Economics, an economic forecasting company in England.
To determine the affordability of a housing market, the Oxford Economics' Housing Affordability Indices look at whether a city's median-income household can afford a median-priced home.
With a Housing Affordability Indices score of 1.61, Boise's home prices are 72% above what a median-income household can afford. The report calls Boise "the most rapidly increasing [Housing Affordability Indices] of any metro in our U.S. projections."

(Oxford listed the following cities where "potential buyers will find homes most out of reach": Vancouver, Boise, Toronto, Portland, Hamilton (Ontario), Las Vegas, San Jose, and L.A.)
Oxford has not yet made all of its income and housing numbers public. However, Intermountain Multiple Listing Service data put Ada County, Idaho, homes at a median price of $534,950. The city of Boise lists a one-person household median income to be $52,700 and a two-person median income to be $60,200.
While Canada has long dominated the list, the report says the United States is catching up. The report predicts "affordability will deteriorate fastest in the West." California, Idaho, Washington and Utah all are showing signs of people struggling to buy homes on median state incomes, according to the report.
"Falling affordability will also be evident in smaller western metros whose economic boom has only strengthened in Covid's wake," the report says. "Boise, Idaho, offers a clear example of quickly deteriorating housing affordability dynamics."
Vanessa Fry, who studies housing issues as the interim director of the Idaho Policy Institute at Boise State University, said that when housing becomes less affordable, certain groups of people begin to get priced out of an area. She worries that young people who grew up in Boise will either have to leave or, if they've already left, will not be able to move back.
"Let's say there was a family and their children went away to college," Fry said. "It's becoming increasingly difficult for those college students to return back home and have to find a place of their own that is affordable."
To retain young people, Fry said it's important for communities to find ways for people of all income levels to not have to put more than 30% of their income toward housing.
"Whether it's first-time home buyers or first-time renters, what we're going to see is our economy is going to be full of workers beginning to age," Fry said. "Because these people (who are) new to the workforce, those youth that are just graduating from college, or maybe they're going into a more of a professional life to be an electrician or a plumber after high school, where are they going to find a place to live if it's not within their ability to access because it's too costly?"
The Oxford Economics report found the most affordable cities in the U.S. or Canada to be Chicago; Quebec City; and Columbus, Ohio.

Where Is Dana Canedy Now?
The movie 'A Journal for Jordan' is sure to tug at one's heartstrings and bring tears through its stirring portrayal of the love shared by Dana Canedy and her fiance, First Sergeant Charles Monroe King. Based on Dana's memoir 'A Journal for Jordan: A Story of Love and Honor,' the movie takes the viewer through the nuances of their life together and helps one witness the passion and care that goes into a relationship's foundation. Nevertheless, with the movie showcasing Charles' shocking death in combat and the journal he left behind for his son, fans are curious about where Dana Canedy is at present. Well, we decided to jump in and find out!
Who is Dana Canedy?
Dana Canedy is a celebrated journalist, author, and editor who has made quite a name in publishing. She graduated from the University of Kentucky and worked at a few minor publications before earning her breakthrough and landing a job at The New York Times in 1996. It did not take long for Dana to cement her place in the organization, and she showcased her talent by co-authoring the series 'How Race Is Lived in America,' which won a Pulitzer Prize in 2001.

In the early 2000s, Dana shared a wonderful relationship with her fiance, Charles Monroe King, which is wonderfully documented in 'A Journal for Jordan.' Charles was a first sergeant in the United States Army. The two fell insanely in love and shared a bond that was out of this world. With Charles being in the Army, there was no guarantee on when he could be called up for duty. Moreover, the fear of death always looms over a soldier's life. Thus, fearing the worst, he began writing a journal once the couple expected the birth of their son.
Months into the pregnancy, Charles had to depart to Iraq, and although he returned mid-deployment to see his newborn's face for a few weeks, he had to leave to lead his men into an active warzone. In a shocking turn of events, Charles was just a month away from coming back home when a stray IED claimed his life on October 14, 2006. His journal, which survived, was passed onto Dana and ultimately became his voice of guidance and love for their son.
Still mourning her fiance's death, Dana decided to put her thoughts into words and wrote a heartwrenching article in The New York Times in 2007. The article propelled her into popularity and soon evolved into Dana's own memoir, 'A Journal for Jordan: A Story of Love and Honor,' which she wrote to help her get through grief. Writing the book was a positive way to direct her sorrow, and although it brought her a lot of popularity, Dana loved that she could share Charles's story with others around her.
In July 2017, Dana went on to earn the coveted position of administrator of the Pulitzer Prize while still working at The New York Times. Moreover, a few months later, in the same year, she began working solely as a senior editor and was in charge of recruiting, management training, and career development, among others. At present, Dana holds the position of Senior Vice President and Publisher at Simon & Schuster's publishing imprint. Being the first black woman to have such an administrative post in a U.S. publishing house, Dana has established herself in the pages of history, and we would like to wish her the best for all her future endeavors.

En l'arquitectura eclesiàstica la cel·la és el lloc de dimensions reduïdes destinat a ser habitat per un fidel, normalment un monjo, quasi de manera permanent, això és sense sortir-ne gaire, bé que sovint durant un període delimitat; pot ésser composta per una habitació, un oratori, un pati i alguna dependència. Poden ser construccions exemptes però l'habitual és que formin part d'una edificació major; són característiques les cel·les en monestirs i convents de clausura, construccions uniformes adossades entre elles i situades al llarg de galeries, un bon exemple n'és la cartoixa d'Escaladei.

Una condició és l'austeritat de la cambra, on no hi ha més objectes, estris i mobiliari que els estrictament necessaris per a dur una vida d'oració, meditació, estudi i descans, però també algunes eines per a treballs manuals o per a cultivar un petit hort a l'eixida. Per a extremar l'aïllament, normalment solen disposar de torn, mena de tambor d'eix vertical giratori proveït d'una obertura encastat a una paret, que permet passar objectes o aliments de fora a dins i viceversa sense que hi hagi contacte visual entre els individus.

Durant l'alta edat mitjana el terme cel·la s'utilitzà per a designar petits monestirs no dependents del papat sinó només del senyor, eclesiàstic o civil, del lloc.

How to reset the BIOS password?
I know this has been asked and answered for some other models but I can't find any discussion for this specific model. I, like an idiot, set a BIOS password and forgot it after not using my laptop for a few months. I can still use it but I currently have Ubuntu installed, and I would like to return to Windows. Unfortunately I can't do this because of the BIOS password.
I've popped off the back cover of the laptop but I don't know where to go from here. I'm assuming I need to find the CMOS but I don't even know where to begin, and I can't find any pictures or guides regarding the CMOS on this model.
A supervisor password protects the system information stored in the BIOS. The user must enter the supervisor password to get access to the BIOS and change the system configuration.
Attention: If you forget the password, there is no service procedure to reset the password. The system board must be replaced for a scheduled fee.
Do you know where the CMOS battery would be located on this model, or at least what it looks like so I know what I'm searching for before tearing the laptop apart?
Hi, I need your help; my laptop (lenovo yoga 720 15ikb) has a password in the bios, I opened it but I do not see any CMOS. Logan if you have managed to solve this problem, help me please.
Amily Grey thanks for the help. But My laptop has not cmos battery, at least I did not identify any. I have disconnected the Li battery, I pressed the power button for 60 seconds but the bios continues with password. They say that you can make shorting some pads on the logic board, but I do not know where.
Logan Henry will be eternally grateful.

Hola from España. Kyocera is in Barcelona this week for five days and nights of eating paella, drinking sangria, and, of course, defining the future of the wireless industry at the 2016 Mobile World Congress. We're excited to be here with the movers and shakers of the mobile industry, including many of the partners with whom we collaborate closely to enable the future of ruggedized mobile devices.
Kyocera will be showing off our latest mobile phones and devices, including the recently announced DuraXE and DuraForce XD, and featuring our devices in the booths of some of our partners, including Qualcomm, SOTI and Mobile Tornado. If you're on the ground in Barcelona, be sure to stop by their booths and see how we are working together to bring dependable, rugged devices to enterprise customers worldwide, and enabling new levels of connectivity, security and enterprise management.
Qualcomm (MWC 2016: Hall 3, Booth 3E310): Kyocera and Qualcomm share a long, rich history, as Kyocera's North American mobile-phone business was formed through the acquisition of Qualcomm's handset business in 2000. The relationship and partnership remain strong to this day. The companies' offices are separated by a few miles and Kyocera continues to use Qualcomm's top-notch Snapdragon processors in our devices.
SOTI (MWC 2016: Hall 5, Booth 5B40): Kyocera and SOTI have partnered to bring Enterprise Mobile Management (EMM) software to rugged devices worldwide. Kyocera recently launched North America's first LTE-capable feature phone, the DuraXE, which runs on an open-source operating system and uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 1.1 GHz quad-core CPU, typically used in smartphones. This is allows the device to support SOTI's flagship product, MobiControl, so that enterprises can enable, optimize and secure their mobile workforces across all platforms, for both corporate-liable and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) polices.
Mobile Tornado (MWC 2016: Hall 5, Stand 5E81): Mobile Tornado provides leading professional Push To Talk over Cellular (PoC) and Wi-Fi solutions, and Kyocera partners with Mobile Tornado to deliver the highest-quality PTT solutions, particularly for wireless operator TELUS in Canada. Both companies ensure that Kyocera rugged devices are tested and certified for compatibility with the Mobile Tornado PTT client. This means better business connectivity and continuity in order to solve issues like latency, responsiveness and screen operability in extreme conditions.
MWC 2016 is sure to be full of innovative solutions for the wireless and mobile industry, and at Kyocera, we look forward to seeing how enterprise functionality and ruggedized design will continue to evolve. We look forward to seeing you on the show floor.

First choose your image. Something with clearly defined shapes within it will make it easier but the process will be the same whatever you choose.
Decide what size you want your final picture to be. My initial picture was approx A4 but I wanted my wall-hanging to be larger so I resized the image.
I like my image to be monochrome (black and white) I find this makes it easier to copy and is cheaper!! You may need to change the image into a monochrome one or as I did just choose " print in black" on the printer options.
Now print your image. You need to ensure that you select "print at 100%" when you print. There are several ways of doing this. Some software will automatically print your image on 4 separate sheets of paper PROVIDED you ask the printer to print at 100%. Otherwise cut each corner and print it separately. This is what I did. Then tape the pieces together.
You are now ready to begin. Use a light box, if you are lucky enough to own one or do as most of us do and tape your paper pattern to the window BACKWARDS. This way for final picture will be the same way round as your original.
Make your base. I use a bonded curtain lining for pictures (and Advent calendars etc) because it has a nice firm feel but you use what ever you prefer. Because the foreground in my image was completely covered by roofs, all I needed to do was add the background sky fabric and tack it around the edge. If you are using wadding then you will need to make "sandwich" which is a little bigger than your final picture and tack all 3 layers together. Choose the top layer to match your image, sky/ground/grass or something neutral if most of it is going to be covered.
Trace each shape onto bondaweb (steam-a-seam or your material of choice) and the iron onto the fabric as usual. Use your original image to match the colours as closely as you wish. As you can see, I extended the shapes slightly, particularly where they tuck behind the roof in front to make assembly easier.
I found it easier to cut all the pieces before beginning to attach them. Start with the background and build up the image gradually. I only ironed them in place once I had ALL the pieces ready and was happy with how they looked.
I then used mostly a fairly close zigzag stitch around the edge of each piece, occasionally I used one of the fancy stitches on my machine instead.
Once all the pieces were attached, I started to stitch in the details. I considered adding more fabric for the windows, doors etc but decided against! I stitched them free hand because I wanted to have the freedom that gave but that is a purely personal choice!
Finally, all the loose ends have to sewn in before trimming and binding the picture as usual!

Everton boss Silva has positive news on Coleman and McCarthy
Coleman set to be fit for Nations League games as McCarthy returns to training

Everton boss Marco Silva believes Séamus Coleman will be sidelined for just a couple of games by the foot injury he sustained while away on international duty, a timeline which would have him back comfortably in time for Ireland's Nations League games against Denmark and Wales next month.
Coleman didn't train with his club after returning from Poland and Silva said he would know more about the seriousness of his injury over the next 24 hours as the medical staff continue to assess the stress fracture but, he suggested, the Irishman would be out for "one or two weeks, perhaps".
James McCarthy took part in the first team's training session and now looks to be a matter of weeks away from a return to competitive action himself, something that raises the distinct possibility of him being called up by O'Neill too.
Silva did not give any sense about when he feels the 27-year-old might actually be match fit but he acknowledged that him getting back to this stage was "good news" after the seriousness of the injury he suffered back in January.
Alan Browne, who missed the game in Poland due to a calf injury, is to be assessed at Preston before their game against Reading but manager Alex Neil feels the midfielder may well be fit enough to feature and he may well make the bench.
Neil Warnock, meanwhile, has expressed confidence that Harry Arter's international exile will be ended soon with the Cardiff City boss believing that Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane will move quickly to sort the situation out.
"I spoke to him early doors," he said at a press conference to preview the club's game against Chelsea. "My advice to him was: 'Say nothing and get on with your football'.
"He loves his country, though, and wants to play for them again. We are talking about grown-up people and I am sure that will be sorted. You get rows like this a lot of the time and I think Martin will make sure that is sorted in the next few weeks.
"I am sure there are lessons to be learned by everybody. Martin doesn't need me to tell him that Harry is a good player to have in the squad. I was quite pleased he didn't go away from a selfish point of view but I am sure Roy will deal with the situation in the right way in the cold light of day."

Indlejret software er computersoftware, der er programmeret til at kontrollere maskiner eller udstyr, som typisk ikke bliver regnet for at være computere. Softwaren er ofte specialskrevet til en bestemt maskine, som den kører, og som har tids- og hukommelsesmæssige begrænsninger. Begrebet bruges af og til synonymt med firmware, selv om firmware også kan bruges om den ROM-baserede kode i en computer, hvor den ligger bag operativsystemet, mens indlejret software for det meste er den eneste software i det pågældende stykke udstyr.

Also known as Roman blinds, Roman shades look sleek and perfectly tailored. They are easy to install and operate, with the wide pleats folding flat as they are pulled up. They may also be purchased in blackout fabrics. Blackout Shades A bit pricier than normal styles are blackout shades which are used to totally keep sunlight out of a room. Woven Wood Shades Woven wood shades (usually made of bamboo) give full, unprocessed coverage and come in a variety of finishes that filter different light variations. Pleated Shades Made in manifold patterns and textures, pleated shades boast easy installation and operation. They come with a privacy liner that provides a consistent, white appearance from the outside. Solar Shades Solar shades are great for rooms that are facing the sun or those where light control is important, such as a media room or a reading room. Solar shades are created from sheer weaves, providing sun protection through glare reduction, light distribution and prevention of UV ray-related damage on furniture. Roller Shades While still providing privacy, a roller shade is an easy but very effective design made to filter soft light into a room. Available in thin weaves, which accept more light into the room, or the usual room-dimming shade, roller shades could be raised or lowered in just one smooth, effortless motion. Honeycomb or Cellular Shades Universally known as cellular shades, this immaculate-looking treatment comes in a whole variety of room-darkening or light-filtering fabrics in a wide array of colors, and may be purchased triple, double, or single-celled. (More cells lead to better insulation.) This style offers out of the ordinary lifting options, like an unending cord loop to help lighten large, denser shades, and the usual bottom-up/top-down. This means you can lift or lower the shade to provide privacy similar to that of a caf? curtain. Lastly, as with most shades, they offer privacy but let some light into the room.
