From the ancient Greeks in their marble theatrons through the rough- and-tumble Elizabethan audiences of the half-timbered playhouses of the South Bank to the present-day upper-middle-class theatre-goers of New York's Broadway and London's West End, tragedy has had a peculiar appeal which the philosopher Aristotle termed "catharsis," a therapeutic purgation or expulsion from the consciousness of pity and fear. However, nineteenth-century British audiences felt no lift from tragedy; their tastes ran to pantomime, burletta, and especially melodrama. That such popular tastes influenced even serious fiction writers such as Dickens is undeniable; certainly, A Tale of Two Cities exhibits a number of melodramatic features, which early stage-adapters seized upon and heightened.
Although Bulwer Lytton's 1833 Copyright Act gave a dramatist a measure of protection, even after the 1842 Literary Copyright Act combined the protection of authors of dramatic works with that accorded authors of literary works, dramatic adaptations of works of genres not stage-related, notably the novel, were outside the terms of British copyright legislation. "To the novelist's delight and irritation, the plays often appeared long before the novels were complete" (Bolton 3), so that, for example, just twelve instalments into The Pickwick Papers the most prolific of London's theatrical pirates, Edward Stirling, staged the burletta Pickwick Papers; or, The Age in We Live at The City of London Theatre, Bishopsgate, on 27 March 1837. By the end of 1838, no less than 26 such adaptations had graced the boards of London's minor theatres; three stage adaptations — by William Leman Rede, T. W. Moncrieff, and Edward Stirling — appeared even before the novel had finished its serial run! "Dickens's novels in general were exploited for their sensational, lachrymose, or farcical elements, which came to be magnified under the glare of the gaslight" (Colby 142). The only way that a novelist such as Charles Dickens could protect himself against theatrical piracy was to acquire the right of stage representation by adapting his own work for the theatre. However, for Dickens, fully occupied with editing a weekly magazine as well as writing novels, a less time-consuming method of controlling stage adaptations of his works was to grant official approval to a dramatist and company who were prepared to work with him. "Whenever this was done such plays were regarded as being the official versions. All the same, other versions were made and performed in other theatres" (Morley 34).
Whereas a conventional melodrama such as Douglas Jerrold's The Rent Day (1832) is built around a series of obstacles and blocking- figures, a Christmas Book stage adaptation usually focuses on a single character's problem in the main plot: Scrooge's emotional poverty and social isolation in Edward Stirling's or C. Z. Barnett's A Christmas Carol (1844), Trotty Veck's alienating misanthropy in Lemon and à Beckett's The Chimes (1844), John Perrybingle's possible cuckolding in Albert Smith's The Cricket on the Hearth (1845), and Redlaw's brooding incessantly over past wrongs in Mark Lemon's The Haunted Man (1848). Among the dramatists who early on apprehended the theatrical potential in Dickens's works were Edward Stirling, W. T. Moncrieff, T. P. Taylor, and Charles Webb. So successful in terms of runs were the early Christmas Books on stage that within a year of the publication of The Cricket on the Hearth no fewer than eight stage versions were produced in London alone, and by Christmas Day 1846 competing versions of The Battle of Life were playing at the Albert Saloon, the Grecian, the City of London, the Bower Saloon, the Britannia, and the Surrey (the last of these under the management of playwright Stirling). To thwart "unauthorised" productions Dickens elected to provide the pirate of his own choosing with proof-sheets so that the version produced with his advice and assistance would be first into the field. Thus, he settled upon his friends Mark Lemon and Gilbert Abbot à Beckett for The Chimes at the Adelphi Theatre, and Albert Smith for The Cricket on the Hearth at the Lyceum. "There is considerable evidence that Dickens had written this Christmas story not only with the stage in mind, but specifically with the view to having it produced by the Keeleys' company at the Lyceum" (Bolton 48).
The visual appeal of all his abundantly illustrated novels, but especially of his five Christmas Books, is evident in the adapters' employing the tableau vivant so frequently. Thus, the moment realised in a plate by Leech or Phiz might become a "frozen scene" in which the actors would assume the postures, expressions, and juxtapositions of the illustration to the delight of the audience. Although the elaborate scene painting and costumes that contributed to the effectiveness of dramatic adaptations of the historical novels of Sir Walter Scott and William Harrison Ainsworth were not significant factors in most adaptations of Dickens's novels, Dion Boucicault's version of The Cricket on the Hearth — Dot in 1859 at New York City's Winter Garden Theatre, in 1860 at the Boston Museum and Boston Academy, at London's Adelphi in 1862 and at Edinburgh's Theatre Royal later that year, and finally at Birmingham's Theatre Royal in 1864 expended considerable effort on the fairies' costumes and special effects.
Whereas Scott never took money from his friend Terry for his assistance with dramatic adaptations, Dickens appears to have bargained with competing theatrical managements for his early proofs and the use of his name on advertising posters in order to secure some recompense for his work when dramatized.
Although the second Christmas book, The Chimes has not had the Carol's enduring appeal, "at least nine stagings of "The Chimes" occurred in the first season of its life" (Bolton 268) in London and provincial theatres. However, after first announcing The Chimes for Christmas 1844, the management of London's Strand Theatre settled upon a revival of the more sentimental Carol. "Stirling's "Chimes" at the Lyceum ran about thirty-three performances, whereas his "Carol" at the Adelphi in early 1844 had run more than forty, and his "Martin Chuzzlewit" at the Lyceum itself had run over 100" (Bolton 268). The next Christmas Book, The Cricket on the Hearth was quite a different story, however: within a month of its 20 December 1845 publication no fewer than 16 productions appeared on the London stages alone — in fact, of some two dozen theatres in the metropolis, only six were not featuring some version of the novella, although the most popular version of the story, Dot by Dion Boucicault, appeared fourteen years later. Whereas Bolton records 24 distinct adaptations of the Carol by the end of the nineteenth century, he gives 114 for The Cricket on the Hearth, as opposed to 117 for David Copperfield, 46 for A Tale of Two Cities, and a mere 16 for Great Expectations, although these full-length novels proved much more popular as the subjects of film- adaptations in the twentieth century.

Lennar & CalAtlantic merger to create homebuilding titan in Greater Orlando
By Bob Moser
Lennar Corporation and CalAtlantic Group announced plans to merge this week and form America's largest homebuilder. In Greater Orlando it will bring together the buying power of two of this market's largest production builders, with local footprints that may complement each other.
In Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties alone this year, CalAtlantic had 135 single-family lot closings in the first quarter and 174 closings in the second quarter, while Lennar had 294 closings in Q1 and 310 closings in Q2, according to the Greater Orlando Builders Association.
Osceola County Developments
Sun Terra buys balance of Starwood's 11,000-acre Harmony project for $24M
Hear from the new developer on why he thinks Osceola County's housing market has caught up to the Harmony vision.
Lennar, Greater Orlando's largest builder by volume, has 43 local communities in development, with concentrations in Horizon West, ChampionsGate and Storey Park in southeast Orlando.
CalAtlantic has 49 active developments, with most of its focus in Osceola County, Horizon West and Lake County.
The stock and cash deal is worth an estimated $5.7 billion, and would create a homebuilder with close to 240,000 single-family home lots in 21 states, a market value near $18 billion and combined revenue of $17.2 billion over the past year.
That combined revenue tops D.R. Horton's $12.6 billion reported in 2016, which ranked it as the top-producing homebuilder this year by Builder Magazine.
Nationally, the merger is a response by both companies to rising costs of labor, materials and the need for greater efficiencies. When Standard Pacific and Ryland Homes merged in 2015 -- creating CalAtlantic -- they estimated annual cost savings of $50 million to $70 million.
Tavistock buys ownership stake in local homebuilder active in Lake Nona
Insight on which company was the target of investment, and what the developer stands to gain.
The local impact won't be known until Lennar and CalAtlantic reveal more details about how the new company will look and operate.
The companies haven't announced if one brand will absorb the other, if they'll continue to operate separately but merge regional offices to find efficiencies and purchasing power, and if they find the brands of CalAtlantic and Lennar carry distinct reputations with buyers.
The companies said in a public filing that they have a May 2018 deadline to finalize the merger.
The median sale price for new homes in Metro Orlando from July through September of this year was $318,000 compared to $220,000 for existing homes, which reflects a year-over-year price increase of 4.6 percent for new build compared to 10 percent for existing product, according to Redfin.
New construction home sales were up 14.1 percent in September compared to last year in Metro Orlando, while existing home sales were down 7.4 percent. And 5,210 residential building permits were issued in the metro area in August, up almost 16 percent from the year prior, per Redfin.

Short title: A Cause of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis
doi: https://doi.org/10.14740/jmc3358
Abstract ▴Top
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis is a common and often serious complication of long standing ascites in the presence of advanced liver disease. We report a case of a 74-year-old woman with alcoholic cirrhosis admitted to our emergency department with a 1-week history of diffuse abdominal pain and increased abdominal perimeter. On physical examination, she had a significant abdominal distention and a positive fluid wave consistent with ascites. A diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis was made and empiric therapy with ceftriaxone was started but the patient's condition worsened. Four days later Listeria monocytogenes was detected in peritoneal fluid culture and ampicillin was initiated according to in vitro sensibility test. The patient completed 14 days of treatment with clinical and laboratory improvement. Listeria is an uncommon cause of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. Clinicians should be aware of the uncommon agents of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, mainly when there is not a proper response to therapy.
Keywords: Alcoholic cirrhosis; Ascites; Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis; Listeria monocytogenes
Introduction ▴Top
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is an infection of ascitic fluid and the most common pathogens include gram-negative bacteria, usually Escherichia coli and gram-positive cocci. The guideline-recommended empiric treatment of SBP is a third-generation cephalosporin. However there has been growing concern about the efficacy of third-generation cephalosporins as empirical therapy of SBP due to resistant and unusual microorganisms.
Here we describe a case of SBP by Listeria monocytogenes, an unusual and intrinsically resistant agent to the empirically recommended group of antibiotics.
Case Report ▴Top
We report a case of a 74-year-old woman with a history of chronic liver disease of alcoholic etiology with portal hypertension and esophageal varices and a history of upper digestive hemorrhage 5 years ago. Her regular medication included alprazolam and omeprazole. She was brought to the emergency department with a 1-week history of diffuse abdominal pain and increased abdominal perimeter, without any other symptoms. On physical examination, she had a body temperature of 37.8 °C and no remarkable changes in blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and peripheral saturation. She had a significant abdominal distention and a positive fluid wave consistent with ascites. Blood analysis revealed hemoglobin of 12.8 g/dL, platelets of 371,000/µL, elevation of inflammatory markers: leukocytes of 16,090/µL and C-reactive protein (CRP) of 21.74 mg/dL, hypoalbuminemia of 2.8 g/dL and international normalized ratio (INR) of 1.52. Abdominal ultrasound revealed large volume ascites and a subsequent diagnostic and therapeutic paracentesis was performed in which the peritoneal fluid cell count showed 3,136 leukocytes/mm3 with 86% neutrophils consistent with the diagnosis of SBP. The patient was hospitalized with the diagnosis of SBP and medicated with ceftriaxone 2 g/day. Despite initial clinical improvement, on the second day of antibiotics, the patient still presented fever and elevated inflammatory markers: leukocytes 14,940/µL and CRP 17.92 mg/dL. An abdominal computed tomography was performed to exclude secondary peritonitis. On the third day of hospitalization, new paracentesis was performed and showed an increase in the number of cells with 6,783 leukocytes/mm3 with 97% of neutrophils and on the next day the cultural peritoneal fluid of the first paracentesis revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. The blood cultures were negative. Antibiotic therapy was changed according to in vitro sensibility test for ampicillin 2 g of 6/6 h and she completed 14 days of therapy. The patient presented clinical and laboratory improvement. After 48 h of targeted therapy, paracentesis showed a decrease in the number of cells with 3,753 leukocytes/mm3 with 98% of neutrophils and on the ninth day of therapy the peritoneal fluid no longer presented criteria of SBP and cultural negative.
Discussion ▴Top
SBP, an infection of ascitic fluid with no evidence of an intra-abdominal source [1], is a frequent complication of end-stage liver disease and it is associated with significant morbidity and mortality [2].
The diagnosis of SBP is based on neutrophil count in ascitic fluid of > 250/mm3. Ascitic fluid culture is frequently negative and is not necessary for the diagnosis of SBP, but it is important to guide antibiotic therapy. When culture is positive (40% of cases), the most common pathogens include gram-negative bacteria, usually Escherichia coli and gram-positive cocci (mainly Streptococcus species and Enterococci), which are responsible for more than 95% of the cases [3]. In a minority of cases (< 5%), Candida species, anaerobes, and Listeria are implicated [2].
Listeria is a gram-positive facultative anaerobic rod and its major human pathogen is Listeria monocytogenes [4]. Listeria is found in numerous sources including water, sewage, live animals, and dairy products. Transmission occurs fecal-orally from contaminated food or animal products [5]. It is also found in the fecal flora of many mammals, including 5% of asymptomatic healthy adults [6].
It has been increasingly recognized as a pathogen in immunocompromised patients, particularly in infect newborns, pregnant women and the elderly [4], with an estimated annual incidence of 0.2 cases per 100,000 population in Europe and USA [7].
Cirrhosis is usually known as the most common form of acquired immunodeficiency. The cirrhotic patient has low complement and opsonin levels, dysfunctional reticuloendothelial system, neutrophil dysfunction, and a gut mucosa unusually permeable to bacteria. The permeability of the intestinal mucosa may actually be higher in alcoholic patients [6].
Alcohol consumption [8] and proton pump inhibitors are known risk factors for listeriosis [2]. Increased intracellular iron stores are thought to be important to foster the growth of Listeria [4]. Cirrhosis and hematologic malignancies are also risk factors for listeriosis, and a high index of suspicion for listeriosis must be maintained in these patients [5].
Listeria monocytogenes infection can present with a wide range of manifestations such as gastroenteritis, meningoencephalitis and septic arthritis. SBP by Listeria is a rare entity and it is usually associated with bacteriemia [8]. The first case was described in 1977 by Rheingold et al.
Listeria should be suspected as a cause of SBP when the patients have iron overload, exposure to farm animals, or poor response to empiric therapy within 48 - 72 h, especially in the presence of known risk factors [6, 7]. The diagnosis of Listeria SBP is dependent on the growth of the organism in the peritoneal fluid, which normally takes 4 days.
Failure of antibiotic therapy should be suspected if there is worsening of clinical signs and symptoms and/or no marked reduction or increase in ascitic fluid neutrophil count after 48 h of treatment compared to levels at diagnosis.
The guideline-recommended empiric treatment of SBP is a third-generation cephalosporin, which has activity against the most common causative pathogens. Cefotaxime, a third-generation cephalosporin, has been extensively investigated in patients with SBP because it covers most causative organisms and because of its high ascitic fluid concentrations during therapy [3], but Listeria is intrinsically resistant [4]. Penicillin and ampicillin are effective against Listeria and appropriate treatment with a length of 10 - 14 days.
Consequently, patients with SBP due to Listeria do not have a satisfactory response to empiric antibiotic therapy and it is crucial to identify Listeria as the causative agent. Nevertheless, Listeria monocytogenes peritonitis was associated with a mortality rate as high as 30.7% [9], even when the antibiotic therapy was changed to ampicillin. It was not clear whether the cause of the high mortality rate was due to delayed diagnosis, inappropriate use of antibiotics, or the underlying co-morbidities of the patient population [8].
There has been growing concern about the efficacy of third-generation cephalosporins for empiric treatment of SBP because of resistant or unusual organisms causing peritonitis. Two recent studies examining the efficacy of ceftriaxone reported respective failure rates of 41% and 43% in SBP cases due to acquired bacterial resistance and insufficient susceptibility of isolated organisms [10, 11].
A heightened awareness of Listeria monocytogenes as a potential cause of SBP is necessary to allow for early intervention with appropriate antimicrobial therapy, given its specific treatment and distinct from what is currently used empirically. Given its increased recognition and high mortality rate, a change in empiric SBP treatment may be needed from the standard recommended third-generation cephalosporins to a combination of aminopenicillins with a β-lactamase inhibitor, particularly in areas with a higher geographical predilection for listeriosis and perhaps in patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis or when others risk factors for listeriosis are presented.

The event has been created by former CUFC YTS player Ian Milburn and ex-Cumbrian Run Organiser Mike James. The idea came about after the CUFC Legends v Workington Legends game for Tony Hopper in May 2017, which Ian was involved in both organising and taking part.
"I had the idea after the game," Ian explained. "The state of our bodies after that game wasn't good, so I knew that we couldn't get it played annually, but we wanted to do something to raise funds to support Tony, Sue and their family.
The route can be labelled as iconic as it highlights some of the most recognisable landmarks in Carlisle.
Starting from Brunton Park, at the back of the Pioneer Stand, the Half Marathon will then head right onto Warwick Road and up to the Citadel, The Lanes, The Cathedral and Carlisle Castle.
After heading out towards Crosby-on-Eden, the route will loop round coming back through Linstock and into Rickerby Park, over the Suspension Bridge, then through Stoneyholme before entering the ground through the Paddock gates and finishing in front of the Players Tunnel.
There will also be entertainment on parts of the route, and Voice UK 2018 finalist Courtney O'Neill will be performing at the finish line. Carlisle United club captain Danny Grainger will start the Fun Run, and we hope to have a few former Carlisle United legends participating.
We will have confirmation of the starter(s) of the Half Marathon and 10k early next week, but we are closing in on 1,000 runners which is unprecedented in recent times for the first year of a running event. We hope that the local community will join us in supporting the day.
There will also be a fantastic medal for all Half Marathon and 10k competitors which features the "Be Just And Fear Not" crest, which is symbolic to our Great Border City.

Accueil News Here's how Cole Sprouse responded to new allegations against him
Here's how Cole Sprouse responded to new allegations against him
Frazer Harrison/Getty Images
Cole Sprouse has been making headlines for multiple reasons recently. First, Sprouse and his Riverdale co-star Lili Reinhart split in May 2020, Page Six reported, and then the Disney alum was spotted protesting with Kaia Gerber in support of Black Lives Matter in June 2020, according to Life & Style magazine. Sprouse and Gerber were first linked in March 2020 (via the Daily Mail), and angry fans immediately suspected he'd cheated on Reinhart. The actor defended himself on Instagram, per Life & Style magazine, writing: « Attacking my friends, baseless accusations, leaking my address, and sending death threats are all qualities of insanity and fanaticism. »
Now, Sprouse is the subject of a much more serious rumor. He and three other Riverdale castmates were accused of sexual assault by multiple Twitter users. Per Us Weekly, Sprouse's name went viral on Twitter after the newly created account @Victori66680029 claimed Sprouse assaulted her after a party at New York University in 2013. Soon after, more Twitter users — who used a similar format for their usernames — shared allegations against Reinhart, Vanessa Morgan, and KJ Apa (via BuzzFeed News). Later on, the account that accused Reinhart revealed they'd made up the story, writing, « Do you see how easy it is to lie and you guys will believe it? Vanessa Morgan and KJ Apa didn't do jack s**t. You will believe anything. »
Let's dissect what really happened.
Cole Sprouse says he was 'falsely accused' of sexual assault

After Cole Sprouse was accused of sexual assault via Twitter on June 21, 2020, the actor took to social media to clear the air about the rumors, per Us Weekly. « Earlier today myself and three other cast mates were falsely accused of sexual offense by anonymous accounts on Twitter, » the Riverdale star wrote. « I take these accusations very seriously, and will be working with the right teams to get to the root of it. »
« False accusations do tremendous damage to victims of actual assault, » he continued. « Furthermore, I would never seek to silence anybody. I encourage that people look into the accusations themselves, as the events detailed were factually untrue. » Sprouse concluded, « This seems to be the latest claim in a series of incidents seeking to baselessly cancel my castmates and me. »
The actor's accuser, Twitter user @Victori66680029, claimed he sexually abused her after a party in 2013. She wrote that Sprouse « became aggressive » when they went back to his room at New York University after a party; she told the story in detail in a series of tweets, writing, « I never told anyone because who would believe me over a rich Disney star. »
Sprouse wasn't the only Riverdale cast member to speak up after the allegations went viral.
How Lili Reinhart defended her ex-boyfriend Cole Sprouse

Even though Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart are no longer together, the Ohio native stuck up for her ex-boyfriend after he was accused of sexual assault on Twitter in June 2020. A separate Twitter user also claimed they were « sexually harassed » by Reinhart, then admitted they'd made it up to demonstrate how easy it is to lie.
The actress re-tweeted Sprouse's statement on Twitter and added, « I have always taken sexual assault allegations seriously. But it was proven that this account was created specifically to create false stories about me and my cast. I can't think of something more twisted than lying about sexual assault. It invalidates the men and women who are brave enough to come forward with the truth. »
« This kind of lie can ruin lives and career, » the actress continued. « And I can call it a lie because the person who made the allegations already admitted that the stories were fabricated. »
Reinhart — who previously spoke about a « man in a position of power » who tried to « take advantage » of her in a Tumblr post in 2017, per E! News — stated she is « looking into taking legal action » following the incident. « This kind of sick behavior only harms true survivors, » she explained. « This was incredibly triggering for me and scary because I've always supported survivors and believed them. »
« I hope and pray that this does not discourage real survivors from speaking out about their experiences, » she said.
Madelaine Petsch stuck up for her 'Riverdale' co-stars

The cast of Riverdale is tight-knit even when the cameras aren't rolling, so much so that after Cole Sprouse, Lili Reinhart, Vanessa Morgan, and KJ Apa were accused of sexual assault in June 2020, Madelaine Petsch, who plays Cheryl Blossom in the series, stuck up for her co-stars.
« As someone who has been sexually assaulted, I am deeply, deeply disturbed that anyone thinks that it is okay to falsely accuse someone of sexual assault, » Petsch wrote on Twitter. « This is why real assault allegations can sometimes not be taken seriously, you should be ashamed. This is disgusting. »
Petsch also took to her Instagram Story (via E! News) to talk about how upset she was that her friends had to endure this kind of pain. « I am so taken aback right now, » she began. « My heart is really hurting for my friends and castmates who went through this today and I hope that everyone knows how serious it is to accuse somebody of that. »
« I hope they understand the severity of what that does to people who have actually been through that, » she added. « It takes away the power from the victims who have gone through this, takes away the voices of people who want to come forward and talk about their experiences because it just validates the whole narrative that people lie about this stuff. »
Meanwhile, Morgan simply re-tweeted Sprouse's tweets. As of this writing, Apa hasn't made any public comments.

Q: Como mostrar otra pagina en google apps script? Tengo poca experiencia usando HtmlService de GAS, logre correr algunos js en la pagina que cargo de inicio, pero deseo que deje de mostrar la primer pagina y que al consumir una nueva pagina me la muestre con los parámetros que le envió a una función.
El función es:
function showPagina(iSession){
  var principal = HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('pPrincipal')
  principal.data = iSession;
  return principal.evaluate()
    .setTitle('Sistemas | Control de Activos')
    .setSandboxMode(HtmlService.SandboxMode.IFRAME)
    .setFaviconUrl(sFavIcon);

}

Pero al consumirla me regresa el siguiente mensaje en la consola de chrome:

A: Respuesta corta
Las aplicaciones web creadas con Google Apps Script pueden crear y servir HTML, para ello cargan un estructura principal y luego sobre esta se puede actualizar el contenido inicial tomando contenido estático de otros archivos en formato HTML, generarlo de forma dinámica mediante plantillas, directamente mediante programación o la combinación de lo anterior.
Ejemplo usando archivos estáticos
El siguiente código corresponde a una aplicación web realizada con Google Apps Script y HtmlService. Esta aplicación al ser cargada muestra un contenido predeterminado. Consta de dos botones, los cuales actualizan el contenido de un DIV.
Consta de cuatro archivos, uno en formato .gs y tres en formato .html.
Código.gs
Incluye el código que corre del lado del servidor. La función doGet() es la función principal la cual devuelve el contenido de la página Index.html. Las funciones getPagina1 y getPagina2 toman el contenido de los archivos Pagina1.html y Pagina2.html y lo devuelven como un objeto de contenido.
function doGet() {
  return HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('Index');
}

function getPagina1() {
  var html = HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('Pagina1').getContent();
  return html
}

function getPagina2() {
  var html = HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile('Pagina2').getContent();
  return html
}

Index.html
Contenido HTML principal. Incluye la estructura principal y dos botones los cuales actualizan el contenido del DIV con resultado como id.
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <base target="_top">

    <input type="button" value="Página 1"
      onclick="google.script.run
          .withSuccessHandler(actualizarDiv)
          .withUserObject(this)
          .getPagina1()" />
    <input type="button" value="Página 2"
      onclick="google.script.run
          .withSuccessHandler(actualizarDiv)
          .withUserObject(this)
          .getPagina2()" />

     Contenido predeterminado

Pagina1.html
Contenido de pagina 1

Pagina2.html
Contenido de pagina 2

*

*Types of Scripts > Web Apps

*HTML Service: Create and Serve HTML

A: para este caso yo uso un metodo un poco mas eficiente, (a mi parecer), el cual consiste en usar una funcion unica para llamar cualquier página .html del GAS.
function incluir(filename) {
   return HtmlService.createHtmlOutputFromFile(filename)
         .getContent();
}

Luego en el Index.html pones algo asi:
  <button onclick="requestcodegs('registro')">
    Registrarse
  </button>

y dentro del script del html una función. en este caso

requestcodegs();

que llame nuestro incluir de esta manera:
function requestcodegs(entrada) {
  google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(cargacodegs).incluir(entrada);
}

function cargacodegs(entrada) {
   document.getElementById('general').innerHTML=entrada;
}

Al hacer esto, podremos llamar cuantas veces queramos la función:

requestcodegs("nombredelapagina");

Y luego, el contenido lo pondremos con un

inner.HTML

en un div o contenedor de preferencia.
Aqui encontraras un ejemplo.

Como ves mi index.html está vacío, ya que depende de una validación si se muestra inicio, o el perfil del usuario.

A: Veo que la pregunta es de hace unos meses pero creo que es interesante.
La función doGet, cómo doPost, recibe consultas a través de la URL del tipo:

direccion.es/page?parámetro=valor&otroParámetro=otroValor...puedes añadir más...

Vamos a responder a un parámetro para cargar dinámicamente una página por defecto, la principal, y otra más:
Archivo Código.gs
1- var rutaWeb = ScriptApp.getService().getUrl();
2- function doGet(e) {
3-   var page = e.parameter.p || "Web";
4-   return HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile(page).evaluate();
5- }

*

*Ruta de la página web para utilizarla más adelante.

*La función doGet recibe parámetros (e)

*He utilizado la letra 'p' (e.parameter.p) para pasar el valor de la página que quiero cargar a la variable 'page'. Verás cómo un poco más adelante en las páginas html. He utilizado '||' para indicar que en el caso de no existir
parámetro 'p' pase 'Web' a la variable (page). 'Web' es el nombre de la página principal.

*doGet devuelve la página pasada a través del parámetro 'p' como una plantilla html.

Web.html (página principal por defecto)
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <base target="_top">

Página principal

Dale: <a href="<?!= rutaWeb + '?p=Alumno' ?>">Página Alumno

El atributo HREF del enlace es un Scriptlet que concatena la ruta de la web que guardamos como variable (rutaWeb) con el parámetro 'p' y su valor 'Alumno' que es el nombre de otra página, a la que lleva el enlace.
Alumno.html (la otra página)
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <base target="_top">

Alumnos

Puedes volver a la página <a href="<?!= rutaWeb ?>">Principal

Fíjate que para volver a la página principal no incluimos parámetro alguno, recuerda en (Código.gs) la construcción de la variable 'page'.
Puedes probar el funcionamiento.
Proyecto funcionando compartido.

We Asked, You Answered: Does U.S. Foreign Aid Raise Living Standards?
Published May 31, 2017 at 10:03 AM CDT
"Should America Keep Giving Billions Of Dollars To Countries In Need?"
That was the headline of a story NPR published in early May, looking into a former Trump campaign adviser's claim made during an interview on Morning Edition. Stephen Miller said there's "zero evidence" that U.S. foreign aid has had an effect on economic development.
The economists we interviewed said that Miller has a point: Attempts to connect the dots between aid and growth have had mixed results. But, the specialists said, there may be other ways to measure the impact of foreign aid.
We wanted to know what our audience had to say, so we invited them to submit their views as part of our #CuriousGoat series. We received over 100 responses over the past two weeks. Here's a sampling, edited for length and clarity.
"I work on projects that aim to eliminate several diseases, like blindness-causing trachoma, as a public health threat. Generally, people in the developing world who have blindness can't work. Despite the complexity of measuring results, I have a hard time seeing that saving someone's sight and ability to work didn't affect their standard of living." -Gail Liebowitz
No evidence necessary
"For Selthare in Botswana [a beneficiary of an HIV/AIDS program], it raised his standard of living because without aid he would not be alive. We have so much in this country, do we really want to be responsible for just letting people die because there is no proof our aid is raising the standard of living country-wide? I can live without the $4 or $5 a year from my income that goes to foreign aid to developing countries." -Kathy Hamel
Firsthand proof
"As a returned Peace Corps volunteer, I have seen firsthand how important foreign aid is. To say that foreign aid is only valuable if it leads to demonstrable economic growth is ridiculous. Foreign aid has brought HIV medications to people who would otherwise have no access to them, built schools for children who otherwise couldn't go, helped expecting mothers and their babies survive difficult pregnancies, led to farmers adopting smarter agricultural practices so more people are fed and so much more. Cutting foreign aid is cowardly because those politicians don't have to answer to foreigners who have thrived because of U.S. aid in their communities. Shame on them." - William Sullivan
"Aid is about more than just dollars and cents. The United States has a moral responsibility as the richest country in the world to help. Our blessings are many and we are morally responsible to share those blessings to lift others up." -Lyn
"As a military person I was part of the U.S. foreign aid support to countries like Honduras in the 1980s. After all this time and money I don't think they are any better. I would like to believe our foreign aid is welcomed, but I do not believe programs without specific goals and realistic expectations should be funded." - Bobbie Carleton
Don't forget corruption
"I am surprised that the article does not mention corruption. I have spent my life in Africa and don't believe that much aid money ever does anything but buy property in London and villas in Switzerland. I do not think that Western countries should enrich corrupt despots and officials while their citizens live in poverty." -Dan Flehmen
Wrong question
"While the evidence base on the impact of foreign aid is mixed, I'm not sure the right answer is less foreign aid. Why aren't we asking how foreign aid can be more evidence-based and cost-effective? Alleviating poverty is the single greatest challenge facing humankind." -Erin Crossett
Thank you to everyone who participated in this month's #CuriousGoat.

Q: Do I have to handle deprecation when I'm supporting a lower iOS-version? For instance, let's say my iOS-application supports down to iOS 7.0, and I want to make an alert. In iOS 7, I would use UIAlertView. In iOS 8/9, this has been deprecated by UIAlertController. Do I have to check if currentVersion > iOS7, and then create BOTH alerts, an alertView for iOS7 and an alertController for iOS8+? Or is it okay to use UIAlertView in an iOS7-app, even though it will be running on iOS9+ devices eventually?
Will I ever need to check what the current iOS-version is, and implement multiple objects (one for each version), in simple matters like this?

A: Deprecation is just a note that a feature may be removed in a future version. The deprecated class or method still works, though.
So you can simply continue using UIAlertView and face the risk of breaking in a future iOS version. It still does work on iOS 9. There's no guarantee that it will continue to work on iOS 10, though.
The best solution here is to check whether UIAlertController is available at runtime. If it is, use that class for your alert, otherwise fall back to UIAlertView.
You usually do not check the iOS version! It's better to check whether a method or class is available, except in the very rare cases were Apple explicitly tells you check the iOS version: this happens when a method that was considered to be private was made public by Apple.

UK consumer morale slips as economic mood hits four-year low - GfK
LONDON (Reuters) - British consumer morale has sunk back to depths hit just after last year's Brexit vote and worse may be to come as households' view of the broader economic situation dropped to a four-year low, according to a survey on Friday.
FILE PHOTO: A woman shops in a supermarket in London, Britain April 11, 2017. REUTERS/Neil Hall/File Photo
Market research firm GfK's consumer confidence index fell to -12 in July from -10 in June, a one-year low and slightly below the median forecast in a Reuters poll of economists.
The figures are likely to strengthen the conviction of Bank of England officials who want to keep interest rates on hold ahead of next Thursday's policy decision.
"All bets must now be on a further drift downwards in confidence," said Joe Staton, head of market dynamics at GfK.
The component of the survey which measures households' assessment of the economic situation over the past year - a good guide to official data on household spending - hit its lowest level since July 2013. This was around the time Britain's economic recovery started in earnest.
Although unemployment is running at its lowest level since the 1970s, Staton pointed to a growing squeeze on household finances.
The Brexit vote in June 2016 led to a big fall in the value of sterling, which has pushed up inflation, eating into consumers' disposable income this year.
"If Brexit negotiations continue to deliver more questions than answers, it's unlikely the overall index score will find any tailwinds for some time," Staton said.
Although the minority of BoE rate-setters who want to hike interest rates think exports and investment will soon compensate for a consumer slowdown, others are wary about how long the downturn will last.
Britain's economy failed to build much momentum over the past three months after almost stalling at the start of the year, reducing an already slim chance that the BoE will soon reverse last year's emergency interest rate cut.

Your 6 Biggest Questions About Menopause—Answered
We collected your top concerns about the transition years and went to the experts for answers.
By Beth Levine
Photo: Fuse/Thinkstock
Q: I've been having hot flashes for a decade now. Is something wrong with me?
A: Not at all. I was part of a team of researches who conducted a study on hot flashes that revealed a high degree of variability. It's estimated that at least 20 percent of women go through menopause without ever having hot flashes, but our study found that close to 40 percent had them for at least 14 years. We can't definitively predict who will be in which group, but we did find that women who began having hot flashes while still having periods ended up having them longer than women who didn't get them until after menopause. Unfortunately, we don't know enough about what causes hot flashes to understand why that happens. But if it's any comfort, you are definitely not alone. — Nancy E.

ARCADIA, Calif. (Feb. 9, 2019)–The luck of the Irish carried the day in Saturday's Grade II, $200,000 San Marcos Stakes at Santa Anita, as Irish-bred Platinum Warrior carried his Irish-born jockey Shane Foley to a 16-1 upset win. Trained by John Sadler, the 4-year-old grey colt by Galileo got a mile and one quarter over a "good" turn in 2:02.37.
Based in Ireland, Foley had been Platinum Warrior's regular jockey prior to his U.S. debut at Arlington Park in Chicago four starts back on Aug. 11.
Owned by Yuesheng Zhang, Platinum Warrior, a Group III winner in Ireland on May 27, is now 12-3-1-0 overall and with the winner's share of $120,000, he has earnings of $208,290.


Well, no, I thought. And neither have I. There's too much text for my grandson, but not for me.
I read my first Tove Jansson book about four years ago. It was called The Summer Book, and it was on the adult shelves. It was the cover that attracted me first. It's a paperback, but it has flaps, so you can easily mark where you stop reading. I like that. And I've no idea why, but the cover is nice to the touch – soft and smooth, but substantial. It shows a deep blue sky (Aquamarine? Ultramarine?) with just a couple of light cloud trails, and in the bottom quarter of the page is a small wooded island, edged with a pale stony beach, set in a dark blue sea.
It's about an elderly artist and her six year old grand-daughter and a summer they spend on the island. Nothing huge happens. When the southwest wind was blowing, the days seem to follow one another without any kind of change or occurrence… It was just the same long summer, always, and everything lived and grew at its own pace. It's a small world, with only a few characters, and Tove Jansson simply takes you right into it, so that you come to know the place and the people very well, in all their apparent simplicity. You enter deeply into the way they experience life. And that isn't an easy thing to do, either as a writer or as a human being.
I've read her other adult books too, though I think The Summer Book is my favourite. But the Moomins are what she's famous for, and until now they have completely passed me by. I had vaguely thought I might have seen a television series, but then realised I was confusing it with something else – was it called The Clangers? About triangular shaped characters who lived on the moon and made funny squeaky noises?
And then she (his mother) took Moomintroll by the hand and went into the sky-blue room. And there in the valley they spent the whole of their lives, apart from a few times when they left it and travelled for a change.
It's the same voice as it is in the adult books: cool, clear, utterly unpretentious and essentially rather serious. I love it, and though I've come a bit late to the Moomins, I intend to make up for it and read my way through the rest of them. Are there any other fans out there? And if so, can you explain what it is that you like about them?
Ah, how lucky for you to discover the moomins! What a pleasure! I have always loved them, and shared them with my children (one loved them, one couldn't see the point).
"Any book would be better with a moomin in it" - there's an interesting idea. As you say, War and Peace with moomins. Move over, Pride and Prejudice with zombies.
I was introduced to them by a school friend with whom I've long lost touch, but to whom I will always be grateful - thanks, Penny!
I ADORE the Moomins. I first read Finn Family Moomintroll when I was seven. It was a present from my big sister (who has impeccable taste. I've been a fan ever since. The books are full of quiet wisdom! Moominpappa at Sea probably mu favourite- although it's hard to pick.
So difficult to pinpoint what's great about the Moomin books - but I think you've probably nailed it: "cool, clear, utterly unpretentious and essentially rather serious". Yes - only we should perhaps add, very funny indeed. And, in the least mawkish sense possible, wise.
A new writer for me - thanks for the introduction!
I haven't read a lot of the Moomin books - something I should probably put right - but I did happen on the one set in midwinter. I was impressed by the sense of still eeriness that book conveyed.
I think you might be on to something there! As Stroppy Author said, move over 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies', here comes 'Oliver Twist and the Moomins'! Or maybe 'Of Mice and Moomins'? 'The Wonderful Moomin of Oz'?
I absolutely adored the Moomins too, and when I started having my own Finn family (in that my partner's surname is Finn - obviously I couldn't resist giving it to my children) I longed for the day when they would read Tove Jansson. Alas - not one of the four fell for the Moomins quite like I had!
I have just done the same thing with my 7 year old funnily enough! I went into my local bookshop and there was a huge Moomin display so I bought Comet in Moominland even though it's a bit much for him to read for himself because it's exactly the kind of thing that he likes being read. He likes gentle stories with a serious tone best of all and these can actually be hard to find.
I have no idea how I managed to never read the Moomin books as a child (as I read A LOT!) but I have really enjoyed what I've read so far. It reminds me of Pooh too- it's oddly Zen in tone isn't it?
By some odd kind of synchronicity we have just finished reading your book Emily's Surprising Voyage funnily enough as he is studying Brunel and the SS Gt Britain at school. It was exactly the kind of book that he likes as it was gentle and human yet got him thinking about all sorts of other things too (like the welfare state, industry, travel, modern communication etc). Great book- thanks!
Around New Year, I saw a really good tv documentary about the artist Tove Jansson. It gently linked aspects of her life to characters that appear in the Moomin novels. Her own work as a painter was overwhelmed by Moomin's popularity (The Sherlock/Conan Doyle effect)as well as by the totally punishing schedule of the contracts she had agreed to.
If you can catch the documentary somehow, do! She eventually lived - and was happy - in a shack on a very small island, such as I imagine for the Summer Book. (It was a beautiful book production - I bought it as a present and didn't like to read it first.
The documentary also solved a Mommin mystery for me. It showed that Moomin had appeared as a syndicated strip cartoon in the Daily Express newspaper(or was it the Mail?)which might explain why some children/people were really familiar with the Moomin world and others (ie. non-Express reading families like my own) didn't.
I do intend to try out a Moomin novel this year but when I was young, there was something indefinably scary about the illustrations though I can't quite say why. I put them back on the library shelves. Maybe looming Moominmama? Maybe that small angry character? I'm hoping this year's reading might sort out the mystery. Perhaps.
Cathy - of course you're right to flag up the humour too, and the wisdom.
I'm one of those that missed out on the Moomins, but I have just taken a copy of Finn Family Moomintroll out of my local library, so plan to put that right.
I saw the documentary on Tove Jannson that Penny mentions - it was fascinating. It was on BBC 4 so look out, it will be back sooner or later.
I read The True Deceiver a few years ago, but have never read any of her Moomin books - about time I rectified that! Thanks, Sue.
The A4 sized, hardback collections of Moomin cartoons are fabulous too - very popular with my very visual son. There are about five of them.
I read The Summer Book on a beach in Cornwall a few years ago; it seemed the only appropriate place to read it. You're right that the feel of the cover was a large part of the pleasure! I think I shall go and take it off my shelf and stroke it and maybe read some and recapture that summer light at this dark time of year.
Penny - I did see the documentary and very much enjoyed it. Hope it comes on again.
Gorgeous blog. I love Tove. Which reminds me: I left a Moomin at the bottom of my shopping. When I got home it smelt a bit trolley.
Came to this late and also to the moomins late. They somehow never travelled to Africa. but then a Swedish friend introduced me. The fact hat your post has evoked so many responses shows how well-loved they are.
I think you hit it spot on when you said the books like Tove are: 'cool, clear, utterly unpretentious and essentially rather serious'. I think Catherine also used the word 'wise' and thats how she comes across in her relationship with her granddaughter in The Summer Book. When my own granddaughter is here with me at the sea, I feel very close to that book. Then there is also The Winter Book too.
I'm off to buy The Summer Book now. Thank you for such a compelling introduction. My grand-daughter has little moomin playmates, and I read mooomin stories to her, courtesy of her Finnish mother. I never had these stories myself when I was young, unfortunately.
Thank you so much, everybody, for all your lovely comments. Tove obviously has a great many fans!

Cisco-threatening open switch coming from Facebook, Intel, and Broadcom
Facebook and friends try to replace proprietary network hardware.

Six months ago, Facebook announced that its Open Compute Project (OCP) would develop a top-of-rack switch that could boot nearly any type of networking software. With the help of Intel, Broadcom, and others, the consortium devoted to open hardware specifications would develop a rival to Cisco's network hardware.
Facebook aims to knock Cisco down a peg with open network hardware
Today, Facebook and friends described the first tangible steps they've taken toward reaching that goal. Intel, Broadcom, Mellanox, and Cumulus Networks have contributed specs and software that bring the Open Compute Project closer to a finished switch design.
Frank Frankovsky, VP of hardware design and supply chain operations at Facebook and head of the Open Compute Project, announced the latest developments in a blog post and conference call with reporters today. Frankovsky says the project is on track to "help software-defined networking continue to evolve and flourish," since open source software-defined networking systems could be installed on Open Compute switches.
Intel has contributed a specification for a bare-metal, top-of-rack switch. "The specification describes a 48x4 10/40G switch [48 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports and four 40 Gig ports] including all necessary subsystems for switching, control CPU, peripherals, external interfaces, power, cooling, and mechanical enclosure," Intel said in the announcement.
An Intel official on today's conference call said the spec does not require Intel components, although it's likely any products based on it would use Intel chips. The company has published an example of a switch that adheres to its proposed specification.
Intel's contribution is one of four major ones, and one of about 30 total "covering most of the network hardware stack and even some of the network software stack," Frankovsky wrote.
Broadcom contributed a network switch specification of its own, saying it "address[es] popular leaf and spine switch configurations and feature requirements, in compliance with the charter defined by the OCP networking initiative… Our network switch specification is based on the widely deployed Trident switch architecture [a Broadcom product], which supports a wide ecosystem of networking operating systems and applications."
Mellanox is also contributing a top-of-rack switch specification, and Cumulus Networks is contributing its Open Network Install Environment, a "network boot loader to install software on network switches."
The building of an open switch specification follows the Open Compute Project's work on reference designs for servers, motherboards, storage, racks, and interconnects. As we noted previously, "Facebook itself has used these designs to buy hardware directly from original design manufacturers (ODMs) that build servers exactly to Facebook's specifications. This approach strips out many of the hardware and software features companies like HP and Dell insert into general-purpose products, making them cheaper and more efficient."
The network project would similarly provide an alternative to vendors like Cisco, Arista Networks, and Dell's Force 10 division. The Open Compute Project promises a "specification and a reference box for an open, OS-agnostic top-of-rack switch." Whether that reference box will be based on an amalgam of submitted specifications or just one of them isn't clear yet, and no release date has been set.
Although Facebook is the most obvious beneficiary, about seven to 10 potential users of the open network tech, including Fidelity and Goldman Sachs, have been participating in workshops to review the specifications, Open Compute officials said.
Cisco has thus far professed to be unbothered by the Open Compute Project. Cisco has gotten involved in open networking projects such as OpenDaylight and says it will offer compelling alternatives to Open Compute. "What we will not do is leave that concept alone like we did SDN and allow other people to gain the high ground and then play defense," Cisco CEO John Chambers told Network World in July. "This one you will see us out ahead of the game on."
Last week, Cisco announced an "open set of APIs" and partnerships with various tech giants to advance its so-called Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) that aims to speed up deployment of applications. The APIs can help with management, orchestration, monitoring, virtualization, network services, and storage, "allow[ing] the network to rapidly respond to the needs of applications while delivering up to 75 percent TCO savings compared to merchant silicon-based competitor switches and software-only network virtualization solutions," Cisco said.
In response to today's Facebook announcement, Cisco said in a statement to Ars, "It's important to acknowledge that the largest web-scale companies driving OCP have the skills, resources, and specialized traffic patterns that justify considering this approach carefully. However, most IT departments won't relish taking on the additional operational cost, skills and expertise that are required to integrate their own technology.
"We're finding that the majority of customers are looking for a turnkey solution that gives them the programmability and flexibility they want, with lower operating costs, and that's exactly what Cisco ACI will deliver, without compromises on scale, performance and security."

But password is right. I did same while tried to install other apps.
As far as I remember, there is no such problem using xubuntu.
ln -s /usr/local/bin won't take any effect.
I won't run terminal to run pycharm, and don't want to add whole folder to $PATH

COSMO BARRANCA
limited edition print
EMILIO GRECO
Emilio Greco was born in Catania, Sicily, where he was apprenticed to a stone mason and sculptor of funerary monuments at an early age.
From the 1950s he taught sculpture in Rome, Carrara and Naples, and it was during that decade that his own work first began to receive recognition. Strongly influenced by Etruscan, Greek and Roman art, Greco is best known for his powerful portrait busts and sensual nudes that are classicised, yet volumetric, often characterised by perfectly rounded heads. However, whilst life-size female figures dominate his oeuvre, Greco also received important religious commissions like his contemporary Giacomo Manzù. These included a monument to John XXIII for St Peter's in Rome, depicting the Pope visiting the city's Regina Coeli prison.
One of Greco's first major works was his Monument to Pinocchio (1953). Taking Collodi's famous tale as its theme, the artist's maquette won a nationwide competition (fig. 3). This moving study in bronze captures the moment when the fairy transforms Pinocchio from a puppet into a boy. The base of the sculpture represents a significant departure from Greco's signature style – its abstract, spiralling forms evoking a hollow tree trunk.
In 1959 Greco began to work on a set of monumental bronze doors for Orvieto Cathedral, representing merciful actions from the life of Christ. Initially unenthusiastic about the commission as the proposed themes (including episodes from the Crusades) left him uninspired, Greco's attitude changed dramatically once the subject matter was confirmed. He later stated: "When, finally, the Corporal Works of Mercy – those capital commands of human behaviour – were suggested to me, I accepted immediately because I felt strongly that this theme was congenial to my beliefs. It is an eternal theme, perpetually occurring, not only a historical one; a human theme, not only one connected with the Church." Working studies for these monumental commissions are in both bronze and on paper. These were the materials favoured by Greco throughout his long career and there are strong similarities in the artist's approach to both media.
For instance, Greco's drawing style is extremely sculptural in its evocation of volume, revealing a particular fascination for conveying a sense of depth, and for exploring and defining the space between forms, rather than the forms themselves – which, by contrast, tend to be cursorily traced with simple, flowing lines. Conversely, the surfaces of Greco's heads are often scored with lines recalling the dense cross-hatching characteristic of his works on paper.
