Turnaround: Sense of urgency can be one extreme to the other-in other words, a crap shoot!
No emergency response capability. In our experience typical response time is 2+ days.
Many owners acquire the warranty when acquiring the property so it's a little measure of protection already in place. If the property's systems are older and the owner just wants a general level of protection from maintenance expenses, it can be a good thing.
Overall, we suggest reviewing carefully what the plan being considered offers/covers and evaluate it against the known dynamics of the property. This will be easier if it happens to be a property the owner has inhabited in the past.
Regardless of what carrier or plan the owner selects, it is important they remember that there is almost always a deductible for an assessment visit and/or service to be rendered and not every diagnosis will result in a covered remedy!
If you are considering a home warranty for your investment property and want to get a 2nd opinion, feel free to give us a call or email us—all the contact information is right here! We would love to brainstorm with you!

Q: ember-leaflet - initialize map with zoom to fit all pins I am using ember-leaflet with a new project and I've got a component which houses a map with several markers on it called embedded-map. I'm following the tutorial on their page and can set a static zoom value for my map.
I saw there is some sort of fitBounds function available for the leaflet javascript library. Is there a way to access that while using ember-leaflet? My documentation search came up short, but I did find a template helper that seems related, but not quite what I'm looking for: https://miguelcobain.github.io/ember-leaflet/docs/helpers/lat-lng-bounds.
embedded-map.js
import Component from "@ember/component";
import { computed } from "@ember/object";
import { readOnly } from "@ember/object/computed";

export default Component.extend({
  tagName: "",
  zoom: 10.25, /* I'd like this to initialize to fit all map markers */

  lat: readOnly("trip.averageLatitude"), /* `trip` is a model passed into the component */
  lng: readOnly("trip.averageLongitude"),

  location: computed("trip.averageLatitude", "trip.averageLongitude", function() {
    return [this.get("averageLatitude"), this.get("averageLongitude")];
  }),
});

embedded-map.hbs
{{#leaflet-map lat=lat lng=lng zoom=zoom as |layers|}}
  {{layers.tile url="http://{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"}}

  {{#each trip.days as |day|}}
    {{#each day.dayItems as |item|}}
      {{#layers.marker location=item.coordinates as |marker|}}
        {{#marker.popup}}
          <h3>{{item.name}}</h3>
        {{/marker.popup}}
      {{/layers.marker}}
    {{/each}}
  {{/each}}
{{/leaflet-map}}

A: I'm not intimately familiar with the latest api, but when I used ember-leaflet in a project late 2017/early 2018, I determined at least two options for this use case. Which you choose depends on your use case and what you consider "proper".
You could leverage the onLoad action of the ember-map component
{{#leaflet-map onLoad=(action "showAllPins") }}

and handle the bounds setting logic here in the action
showAllPins(map){
  let mapTarget = map.target;
  let disableDrag = this.disableDrag;
  // you *can* do totally store the map for later use if you want but... the
  // addon author is trying to help you avoid accessing leaflet functions directly
  this.set('map', mapTarget);

  /* determine min/max lat and lng */

  //set the bounds
  mapTarget.fitBounds([[lowestLatitude, lowestLongitude], [highestLatitude, highestLongitude]]);
}

or you can use inheritance by extending LeafletMap and have your own custom version of the leaflet map that handles the zoom setting in a domain specific way (extending this class allows you to override/enhance existing methods that have access to the underlying leaflet object).

A: I've found a solution to the problem, thanks to an error message I saw in the console while pursuing @mistahenry's solution above.
The tutorial suggests you pass lat, lng, and zoom parameters into the leaflet-map declaration, but the error message states you can also pass in bounds instead of the above 3, and wouldn't you know it - it does exactly what I'm trying to do!
I calculate the maximum and minimum latitude and longitude using all of the map markers I have on hand, and pass this into the embedded-map component to render the map in a way that will fit all markers on-screen.

Proceeding from data about the geographical location of the world's languages to producing a map of that geographical distribution is heavily dependent on the purpose for which the map is intended. This is illustrated with reference to the project World Atlas of Language Structures (WALS), which aims to represent the geographical distribution of the structural diversity of the world's languages. This leads overall to a preference for representing languages by means of dots rather than polygons, even though this creates problems with languages spoken over a wide area or in a number of nonadjacent areas. This is illustrated with maps showing phonetic, syntactic, and lexical features, such as tone systems, the number of grammatical genders in a language, the order of verb and object in the sentence, and the presence versus absence of a lexical distinction between "hand" and "arm." Possible research uses of the resulting maps are demonstrated by asking the question whether languages can come to resemble their neighbors as much as their relatives (i.e., other languages descended from the same common ancestor), using Mainland Southeast Asia as the test case, and concluding that areal influence resulting from language contact can indeed cause languages to resemble their neighbors in a significant number of respects.

Patton and montgomery relationship
World War II: General George S. Patton's Race to Capture Messina | HistoryNet
Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, KG, GCB, DSO, At the same time, Montgomery ordered that Patton whose Third Army was supposed to advance into Brittany to send only minimal forces and. In the s, Eisenhower (Ike) was given valuable CSC notes by Patton when Eisenhower and Patton had a very good relationship until the invasion of Sicily. . If Eisenhower and Montgomery had not assassinated George Patton, would. When Montgomery visited Palermo a few days later, Patton sent an escort push for Messina also took its toll on his relationship with Bradley.
Patton quickly injected discipline and his fighting spirit into the corps and led it to victories at Gafsa and El Guettar. For their part, Patton and many of his colleagues resented British impertinence, especially on the part of Montgomery.
Arrogant, self-centered, and pushy, the year-old general in the natty black beret irked his colleagues with outlandish statements and demands. In many ways he was not unlike Patton.
George was a magnificent soldier. But Patton felt that American interests and honor too often took a back seat to British demands. Patton welcomed the chance to assert U. But Montgomery favored a less dispersed landing to the south and in the end, his plan won out. Patton still expected Seventh Army to make its mark. If they draw enemy attacks on them my swing north will cut off enemy completely. This was not the time to raise a fuss.
For the moment he saved his invective for his diary. However, he is such a straw man that his future is secure. The British will never let him go. He slyly secured authorization to expand the American perimeter west. Patton had his eyes set on Palermo, and, ultimately, Messina. Truscott, who headed up the 3rd Infantry Division, discussed a westward reconnaissance in force toward Agrigento and Porto Empedocle.
On July 16 Alexander issued another directive that positively infuriated Patton. Patton told the army group commander in no uncertain terms that he wanted his army unleashed. Alexander agreed, providing Seventh Army hold a crucial road network near Caltanissetta in the center of the island. Wild celebrations and ebullient Sicilians greeted the Americans.
Meanwhile, Patton pushed his personal competition with Montgomery to comical new heights. On July 25 he flew across the island to Syracuse for a meeting with Alexander and Montgomery. He hurried a little too, but I started it. Some one must have sent him a box of them. Dug-in German troops continued to hold Montgomery at Catania, while his circling movement west around Etna proceeded slowly. Operation Fortitude While Patton sat in England, in earlywaiting for the news of his next mission, the orders of Fortitude South were presented to him.
Patton to lead the First U. The Germans thought Patton was the best commander in the Allied camp and expected him to be the leader of the assault. Eisenhower…used Patton's reputation and visibility to strengthen Fortitude South.
Patton had no say in the matter, it was either this or be sent home. The plan was as follows: Eisenhower and the Allied intelligence establishment an attack at the Pas de Calais, with a subsidiary attack on Norway, and secondary that in the initial assault waves there would be 10 or more divisions, with a follow-up capacity of another 65 divisions.
Ambrose also points out that even after June 6, the Germans still thought that the main attack would come at Pas de Calais, and that Normandy was a feint. The Germans kept troops located at Pas de Calais in case Patton did invade. To the Germans this also explained the absent of Patton in Normandy, the Germans believed he was the Allies best; therefore the main attack was still in the planning.
He knew what the Germans thought of Patton.
Eisenhower had false rumors sent out about Operation Fortitude. They realized that this had to be the main attack, because they had also heard rumors that Bradley was the commander of the First Army.
The Germans did know much about Bradley, so Patton would have to be the commander over an unknown man. Patton was unable to do so. Patton was asked by the organizers to give a speech, he agreed to as long as there were no reporters or press of any sort.
The organizers promised him this, and he went. At this speech he said, "that the British and the American are two people separated by a common language. Since it is evident destiny of the British and Americans rule the world, the better we know each other the better job we will do.
Patton claimed he did mention them and that he was set up. In Martin Blumenson's book, Patton: Man Behind the Legend, he says Patton said, "British and Americans, who, together with the Russians, were bound to rule the world.
However, in the papers the next day, it said that that Patton never mentioned the Russians. Ambrose and John Eisenhower also state that Patton said nothing about the Russians. This put Eisenhower in even worse trouble than the slapping incident, because now Patton had upset the Russians, whom Eisenhower was having a difficult time pleasing anyway.
After the incident, Eisenhower wrote to Patton saying, "I am thoroughly weary of your failure to control your tongue and have begun to doubt your all-round judgment, so essential in high military positions. If Eisenhower thought he could have won this war without Patton, he would have immediately removed him from his position.
He believed that the reporters of Britain or even his own commanders had set him up. Patton said to Eisenhower after he had sent him the letter. Was the "Knutsford Affair" part of the Fortitude deception scheme? If it was, then the Allied high command had gambled not only with Patton's reputation but his career.
They were certainly not above that kind of manipulation, but there was never any proof at the time. Only after Fortitude was buried did evidence emerge that the LCS and the Allied Supreme Command, for reason of deception, had indeed played with Patton's reputation.
But the devices used to advertise Patton would prove to be artless compared to the stratagems that were employed to create his fictitious command—the Quicksilver army group, First U. How could this have occurred? Would Eisenhower have ruined his old friends reputation [what was left of it] just to make sure that Fortitude was successful?
John Eisenhower said his father, "put no faith in Fortitude. He did not believe that deception plans made any difference in war, and the more ambitious they were, the more likely they were to fail. If Patton were not the commander of the First Army, there would have been no need for him to make a statement like this [referring to the Knutsford speech].
However, if he was the commander of the First Army, the Germans would think Patton was back to his old antics, it was expected of Patton to make these comments.
This was expected because Patton always tended to speak on issues when he had allegations brought against him. Many of his problems came when he spoke out when he was in a time of trouble or when his actions brought repercussions against him.
On the other hand, was this even Eisenhower's work? As of right now, no one knows if Eisenhower was setting up Patton or if he was at all. Bradley wrote, that the "British Press Association broke the rules [censorship] and released the story, omitting the Russians reference, leaving the impression that the United States and Britain would rule the postwar world.
They could have orders all British press to stop their printing of the Patton story, thus, ending the problems with this situation. Conclusion What happened to these best friends? Two men that once considered each other comrades were arguing about major issues. One can only conclude Eisenhower chose Bradley over Patton because he knew he could trust Bradley.
Patton was a warrior and would do anything to end a war. Whereas, Bradley was calm and would wait for the proper time, he would follow the orders of Eisenhower. One must consider all of Patton's mistakes; not following orders in Sicily, slapping the two soldiers, criticizing Eisenhower in public, and the Knutsford Affairs. Patton could never keep his mouth shut long enough to allow Eisenhower to give him a position of high command.
This pattern continued after Eisenhower gave Patton yet another chance as commander of the Third Army, in March of Patton was his old self, just slightly quieter this time. He still attacked where he felt necessary, because he believed he knew where the Europeans campaign should advance next. The Third Army moved at a heretofore speed, many times up to sixty miles a day and attacked hard and fast.
Patton had built this unit to the personal level of himself. These men did not necessarily care for Patton, however, they knew he was the best choice for them to come back home. Patton still moved at his own speed, however Eisenhower found a way to stop him, by stopping his supplies lines. In an interview given by Patton in September of that year, the question was asked, how long are you going to be staying here [position unknown]? Patton answered, "[Not] Till we get supplies… There is no point in making a slow advance…"[85] Bradley related something that Eisenhower said in summarizing why he did not use Patton on D-Day, "Ike was unwilling to consider Patton for any job higher than an army commander.
He knew that Patton would not listen to Montgomery, because Patton could not tolerate Montgomery. Bradley would have a hard time even though the two were close friends, because it would be almost impossible for him to control Patton as he was Patton's long time understudy.
By giving the Third Army to Patton, he was giving Patton another chance.
Ultimately, Patton ruined his chance as commander of the Third Army. Patton ordered the killing of German POWs while surrendering because he said they could not be trusted. Patton's actions were going too far and Eisenhower could not allow this to happen for Patton was going to have to change his ways. However, Patton responded with; "If you order me not to, I will stop. Otherwise, I will continue to influence troops, the only way I know, a way which so far has produced results.
Yet the same people cheer at the far greater killings of Japs. Well the more I killed, the fewer men I lost, but they don't think of that. Eisenhower however knew Patton could not continue his antics. Patton should have not kept killing all of the POWs he came a crossed, he should have taken these men into captivity.
Typically, Patton opened his mouth again, saying that the Nazis were better than the Russians were in Late He also compared Nazis to Republicans and Democrats because Nazis only cared about themselves as do the Republicans and Democrats.
Correcting History - Patton
Patton said of the Russians: Hell, why do we care what those goddamn Russians think? We are going to have to fight them sooner or later, within the next generation.
Why not do it now while our Army is intact and the damn Russians can have their hind end kicked back to Russia in three months? We can do it easily with the help of the German troops we have, if we just arm them and take them with us. They hate the bastards. Patton was personally hurt by the loss of the Although Patton was removed from his position, whenever he and Eisenhower were together, "the bond of the friendship was close and firm"[93] However, the two could not overcome Patton's actions and the words Eisenhower said to Patton.
Patton wanted congratulations from Eisenhower and never felt they were given to him. These two men will go down in history as two of the greatest military men to have ever lived.
The difference between the two is that Eisenhower is looked at as a hero; as he was a President and Five Star General, whereas, Patton will be considered a lunatic. However, if one looks at Patton's combat skills they were second to none. Those who have analyzed the relationship between these two men seem to agree on one basic point. Eisenhower was the master and Patton was his pit bull.
This can be seen in two places; the title of John Eisenhower's chapter about Patton and Eisenhower entitled, "Ike and Patton: The Master and the Pit Bull. Bradley inspired more confidence. Whereas Patton inspired fear in his men, however to him if they feared him, they would fight for him.
Early December in Mannheim, Germany, George Patton was in a car accident that later ended his life. Eisenhower was not in Europe when the accident occurred and never saw his old friend again.
Eisenhower never really talked about the death of his old friend, it was something personal to him and he kept it to himself. However, he did say one thing about his old friend out of respect: He was one of those men born to be a soldier, an ideal combat leader whose gallantry and dramatic personality inspired all he commanded to great deeds of valor.
His presence gave me the certainty that the boldest plan would be even more daringly executed. It is no exaggeration to say that Patton's name struck terror at the heart of the enemy. It was believed that Patton wanted to be buried in his favorite place, West Point. Bea Patton wanted her husband to be buried at West Point, however, it was not allowed because of the rule that bodies where not shipped back over seas. This was not to show favoritism to certain officers over others.
Eisenhower knew that Patton was a great general, however, he was not capable of leading the entire army, because it would have failed under him because he was not reliable. Leaving aside whether that victory could have happened, Montgomery's beef was with Eisenhower first, his appalling chief of supply Lee second, fellow Army Group Commanders who couldn't control the excesses of their subordinates like Bradley and to a lesser extent Devers third, and only then with the several army commanders who each tried to do their own thing.
In practical terms Montgomery seemed more appalled by the negative effects of the incompetence of Hodges 1st US Army, and the obnoxiousness of De Gaulle's orders to 'his' army French First Armyand perhaps even the ineffectiveness of his own subordinate Crerar Canadian 1st armythan he did by Patton's enthusiasms. There is hardly a mention of Patton in his diaries through this period, compared to several comments on Bradley and De Gualle, and endless ones on Eisenhower.
Patton too is being maligned by the pretense that his war was taken up with a vain competition with Montgomery.
Patton, like Montgomery, was totally concerned with the main issue of defeating Germany. But unlike Montgomery, he did not have Brooke - the Chief of Imperial General Staff - to rely on for support against Eisenhower's broad front strategy. Patton too was convinced that this was the wrong way to go, but to get his version of a thrust with him at the front happening, he had to be a bit more manipulative than Montgomery. Every word Patton used to wheedle and manipulate support, or at least a blind eye to what he was doing, was designed to get more resources from his superiors.
Indeed, if he couldn't get them from Eisenhower, he was willing to steal them wherever he could, and then get Bradley to pretend to not know what he was doing. In this he was quite willing to encourage Bradley's inferiority complex in relation to Montgomery, and to happily manipulate Bradley into tantrums to get what they both wanted, but it seems likely that Patton was more interested in getting his way by making his superiors compete with Montgomery, than in competing with Montgomery himself.
Patton is actually a more complex and clever character than the romantics give him credit for. His 'kill them even if they try to surrender' speeches in Sicily were part of his stage management of troops, not part of his innate personality.

HIs 'us against the world' propaganda was more manipulative, not so much like Bradley's inferiority complex. He wanted to win, and he would use anything to get what he needed to win, even ramping up his superiors to distrust their allies. But his genuine competitiveness with Montgomery at this stage was less about him and Montgomery, and more about him and how he could maneouvre others to support him.
He would have shown the same level of competitiveness, and the same willingness to undermine, any competitor at this point. British, French, Russian or even American. Montgomery on the other hand only saw Patton as one more junior general syphoning supplies from an inadequate source. Montgomery was in competition with Eisenhower for control, and possibly with Bradley for resources.
Minor army commanders in other people's army groups only registered on his horizon if he could get their armies assigned to his army group. Just for amusement, it might be fun to consider how Montgomery and Patton might have worked together?
Montgomery was notoriously superb to serve under, no matter what your nationality. So were their generals. Bradley certainly learned more about being a field commander from a few months of Montgomery's distant mentoring than from anything Eisenhower ever did for him in their much closer relationship.

The right sampling of homologous sequences for phylogenetic or molecular evolution analyses is a crucial step, the quality of which can have a significant impact on the final interpretation of the study. There is no single way for constructing datasets suitable for phylogenetic analysis, because this task intimately depends on the scientific question we want to address, Moreover, database mining softwares such as BLAST which are routinely used for searching homologous sequences are not specifically optimized for this task.
To fill this gap, we designed BLAST-Explorer, an original and friendly web-based application that combines a BLAST search with a suite of tools that allows interactive, phylogenetic-oriented exploration of the BLAST results and flexible selection of homologous sequences among the BLAST hits. Once the selection of the BLAST hits is done using BLAST-Explorer, the corresponding sequence can be imported locally for external analysis or passed to the phylogenetic tree reconstruction pipelines available on the Phylogeny.fr platform.
The reconstruction of phylogenetic trees from molecular sequences has become a routine task not only for specialists involved in molecular evolution or systematics but also for biologists working on their favourite gene/protein family or annotating new genome sequences. The growing interest for phylogenetic information has stimulated the emergence of new integrated, user-friendly software that produce robust trees using sophisticated methods while remaining accessible to non-specialists. Developers concentrated most of their effort on improving the speed, accuracy and versatility of the algorithms proposed for reconstructing phylogenetic trees from user-defined sets of homologous (ancestrally related) sequences. However, albeit choosing a good initial sequence dataset is crucial to the validity of subsequent phylogenetic analyses, this step has been largely overlooked in recent software developments.
There is no single way for constructing datasets suitable for phylogenetic analysis, because this task intimately depends on the scientific question we want to address. For example, biologists may be concerned by the taxonomic range of sequences, reduction of long-branch attraction effect, presence of paralogues, orthologues, pseudo-genes and/or multi-domain proteins, etc. Failure in the constitution of datasets can lead to draw incorrect conclusion from phylogenetic studies. Tools have been specifically designed to distinguish between orthologous and paralogous in genome/proteome datasets  and expressed sequence tag datasets [2, 3], but they not always the most convenient for punctual analyses.
A frequent scenario in research is a biologist having a particular sequence of interest in hands that needs to find other sequences that are related to it in sequence databases to create a phylogenetic tree. The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST)  is the most widely used set of programs for this purpose, primarily owing to its speed of execution. However, the information presented in the traditional BLAST output is not optimized for selecting and retrieving items for further phylogenetic study. For example the ranking of the identified matches in function of the alignment scores do not reflect accurately the evolutionary distances between the query and matching sequences (subject sequences). This is mainly because the BLAST scoring scheme has bias favouring hits that have smaller or no gaps (keep hits as single, long, high-scoring local alignments) over hits with long gaps (provoke the split of hits in multiple, short, low-scoring local alignments). Furthermore, BLAST results only show the levels of divergence between the query sequence and each of the individual matches but not between pairs of matching sequences. Yet this information is important when one wants to control sequence diversity in the phylogenetic dataset (e.g., avoiding over-sampling of sequences arising from the same taxon). Many features of individual alignments are useful for sampling homologous sequences (e.g., alignment coverage, level of similarity, etc) but their organization and accessibility across the BLAST result page do not facilitate their interpretation.
To fill this gap, we created BLAST-Explorer. This web-based resource combines a fast parallelized BLAST search with a suite of tools that allows an interactive exploration of the BLAST results and the easy selection of a suitable subset of homologous sequences. The traditional BLAST output is entirely reformatted to highlight phylogeny-relevant information and augmented with new features not provided by BLAST (taxonomy information, multiple alignments and similarity trees). BLAST hits can be selected either individually or in bulk using various criterions. Selected items can then be imported locally as fasta-formated sequences or passed to one of the phylogenetic tree reconstruction pipelines available on the Phylogeny.fr platform .
Blast searches are parallelized on an in-house 25-node Linux cluster (50 CPUs) and accept either proteins or nucleic acids as query. Searches can be done using the BLASTP (protein against protein database) or BLASTN (nucleotides against nucleotide database) algorithms. The TBLASTN (amino-acids against a 6-frames translated nucleotides database) and BLASTX (translated nucleotides against a protein database) algorithms are also proposed but in this case, subsequent analyses (i.e., similarity tree and multiple sequence alignment) are carried out at the protein level. The use of TBLASTX is not proposed because its output is not manageable in subsequent post-processing (e.g., alignments in overlapping non-coding reading frames). Protein and nucleotide sequence databases are updated at monthly interval. The parallelization of the Blast searches is done as follows: in a first step, each compute node aligns the query sequence against a distinct subdivision of the selected sequence database using the specified BLAST program. Then the resulting hit sequences on each node are gathered together in a smaller database which is searched again in a second BLAST run for formatting the final output. In each BLAST run, the effective size of the generic database (i.e., NR, NT, etc.) is specified using the -z flag to allow accurate calculation of the alignment E-value.
The Blast output is parsed to collect various features (scores, pairwise alignments, sequence annotations, sequence identification numbers, e-values). For each hit, taxonomic information (species and lineage) is retrieved from a weekly updated local copy of the NCBI Taxonomy database ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/taxonomy/. The Blast output is entirely redesigned such that the information most relevant to phylogenetic analysis becomes easily accessible. Menu panels and images of the similarity tree and tiling diagrams (see below) are also included.
This tool provides a phylogenetic-oriented graphical display of the BLAST results. First, a pseudo multiple-sequence alignment (MSA) of the query and BLAST hit sequences is created by parsing the standard BLAST output: individual BLAST-aligned hit sequences are piled up by positioning each residue relative to its homologue in the query sequence (high scoring pairs [HSP] stacking). Multiple non-overlapping HSPs for a same hit are concatenated; regions of the hit sequence not aligned with the query sequence are substituted with gaps. When duplicated domains are present in the hit sequence, each repeat unit produces a HSP with the homologous region in the query sequence. In this case, only the repeat unit contained in the highest scoring pair is included in the MSA (i.e., repeated domains with lower alignment scores are not considered in the alignment). Although pseudo MSAs may be less accurate than MSAs created by conventional programs (i.e., ClustalW, Muscle, etc.), we chose this option because it is much faster for large datasets (up to 5000 hit sequences).
The entry page of BLAST-EXPLORER is a simplified BLAST form that receive a single fasta-formated query sequence as input and allows (i) the selection of BLASTN, BLASTP, TBLASTN, or BLASTX  as an alignment algorithm, (ii) the selection of a sequence database (Genbank NT for nucleotides; Genbank Non Redundant Protein, Ensembl, PDB, RefSeq, Uniprot and Swissprot for proteins), (iii) the selection of a BLAST E-Value threshold and (iv) the option of filtering out low-complexity sequence segments. BLAST searches report a maximum of 5,000 hits.
By default, the result page only shows the top-100 scoring BLAST hits, while the remaining hits are kept in memory and can be activated using the large-scale selection tools (next section). Small-scale selection tools only apply on the top-100 scoring BLAST hits. The central tool in this mode is the sequence similarity tree that provides an approximate picture of the phylogenetic relationships between the query and the top BLAST hits (Fig. 1A). BLAST hits are renamed according to the species name. The similarity tree is documented with meta-information including hit description (Fig. 1B), alignment coverage (Fig. 1C), taxonomy-based coloring (Fig. 1D). The tree image allows a navigation across the BLAST result page (clicking on an alignment coverage bar [Fig. 1C] leads to the corresponding pairwise alignment [Fig. 1E]), gives access to the database record (by clicking on the hit name), as well as to the selection of individual hits (check-boxes) or in bulk (by clicking on internal branches).
BLAST-Explorer main interface. BLAST-Explorer main interface showing the similarity tree (A), hit descriptions (B), a coverage diagram representing the alignment of the hit sequences on the query (C), the taxonomy color code (D), individual BLAST pairwise alignments (E), the small-scale (F) and large-scale (H) selection tool panels. The "Score histogram" tool (G) and "Selection on taxonomy" tool (I) are given as examples.
o The top-panel shows the number of gap-free sites in the BLAST-reconstructed multiple-alignment of selected sequences (see supplementary data). This number is dynamically updated when BLAST hits are added or removed from the selection.
o The "score histogram" tool shows the BLAST score values ranked in decreasing order. A score threshold can be applied by clicking on the histogram (e.g., Fig. 1G).
o Two "Update tree" options allow redrawing the similarity tree by setting the appropriate number of top-scoring BLAST hits or using a user-defined sequence selection. The tree is generated by combining ClustalW  and TreeDyn  using either all sites of the BLAST-reconstructed multiple-alignment or gap-free sites only (N.B., the initial tree is computed using all sites).
o The "Add sequences to tree" option allow incorporating up to five external sequences (supplied by users) into the current hit sequence selection. The similarity tree is then recalculated to show the phylogenetic position of the external sequences relative to the BLAST hit sequences.
At the end of the selection process, selected sequences can be imported in fasta format ("get selected sequence" button) or passed to one of the phylogenetic reconstruction pipelines available on the phylogeny.fr platform  ("One click mode" or "Advanced mode" buttons).
o Buttons showing the distributions of the BLAST hits according to three BLAST alignment statistics (i.e., BLAST scores, percentage of similarity, and alignment coverage). Bulk selection among the BLAST hits can then be done by selecting intervals of the distribution histogram.
o The "selection on taxonomy" tool enabling the selection of BLAST hits according to their taxonomic rank (e.g., Fig. 1I). The taxonomic information is presented as a hierarchical graph allowing users to adjust the level of details that is relevant to their needs.
Following the application of the selection rules, the result page (i.e., the similarity tree and individual pairwise alignments) is updated to account for changes in the list of the top-100 best BLAST.
Several existing BLAST post-processors combine BLAST searches with automated phylogenetic analysis of the BLAST hits. However most of them do not pursue the same goal and therefore differ in the nature of the results. Also, the functionalities proposed to interact with the results vary greatly. Some of the applications allow filtering of the BLAST hits before phylogenetic reconstruction, others do not.
Phylogena is a standalone application for phylogenetic annotation of unknown sequences  and implements an automated intelligent filtering of BLAST hits before phylogenetic reconstruction. In contrast with BLAST-Explorer, the hit filtering method is optimized for sequence annotation and do not enable interactive and progressive refinement of the sequence dataset. Furthermore Phylogena does not allow retrieving the selected sequences for external analysis.
Phylogenie is also a standalone application for automated phylome generation and analysis . Because the principal force of Phylogenie is to automatically produce a large number of phylogenetic analyses in batch, it does not allow interactive filtering of BLAST hits before phylogenetic reconstruction. Phylogenie is a command-line driven pipeline, requiring at least some familiarity with UNIX and command line tools.
Phyloblast  and the NCBI BLAST server  are two web services that have the most in common with BLAST-Explorer. They produce an enriched BLAST output and allow selection of hits using various criterions. The Phyloblast server is apparently no longer maintained. Phyloblast only allowed comparing a protein sequence against a protein database using BLASTP whereas BLAST-Explorer allows nucleotide/nucleotide, protein/protein and translated nucleotide/protein comparisons. Tools for selecting hits before phylogenetic reconstruction are less versatile than those proposed by BLAST-Explorer (selection based on species names and sequence description). The NCBI BLAST service also provides several tools for selecting and retrieving matching sequences from the BLAST output; a distance tree of the BLAST hits can also be calculated. Here again the hit selection tools are more limited than in BLAST-Explorer (simple check boxes beside sequence descriptions). Furthermore the image of the distance tree does not allow interactive selection of the BLAST hits. This makes selection on phylogenetic criterion less straightforward.
The principal strength of BLAST-Explorer is the flexibility of the sequence selection process and the richness of the information displayed on screen. However, BLAST-Explorer does not propose pre-defined automated methods of hit selection such as for example in Phylogena. Rather, BLAST hit selection is multi-dimensional and mainly human-driven though an interactive graphical interface in order to respond to a wide range of sequence selection strategies. Another feature that differentiates BLAST-Explorer from other software is that it is entirely web-based. Thus no installation on personal computer and no regular update of the sequence databases are required.
The BLAST-Explorer output includes a phylogenetic representation of the BLAST hits (i.e., the similarity tree) that aims at helping in the hit selection process. It is important to note that this tree is not optimized for phylogenetic accuracy. Rather, we opted for a fast tree reconstruction strategy that is however sufficiently robust for providing an approximate phylogenetic position of the BLAST hits. Thus we advise users to use external specialized software if they want to improve or confirm the accuracy of the phylogenetic tree.
BLAST-Explorer provides a simple, intuitive and interactive graphical representation of the BLAST results that can greatly help biologists in building their sequence datasets prior to phylogenetic studies.

    }

Well if you had empty lines in file or no text in file etc., this will not work as expected.


A Montessori work cycle is an uninterrupted block of time. During this time children are able to explore the prepared environment and engage with materials of their own choosing. The time is meant to give them opportunities to enjoy the work they love, while also cultivating basic life skills.
Children's House/early childhood classrooms: 2-3 hours most mornings, additional time in the afternoon for 4 and 5 year olds.
What exactly do children do during this time?
While it looks slightly different at different levels, there is always some combination of most students working independently while teachers give individual or small group lessons. Great care is taken to not interrupt children while they are working, showing them the respect that this time and their exploration deserves.
In primary/early childhood classrooms, lessons are given mostly to individuals. Children move around the classroom selecting work of their choosing. They may work on a table or the floor, with a special rug laid out beneath them. After selecting a work from the shelves, they bring it carefully to the workspace of their choosing, and use the material as they have previously been taught. Children know they are responsible for putting the materials back neatly and selecting their next work independently. At this age, children are typically focused on their own work and may engage in what is called 'parallel play'. This can be seen as defined working and playing beside one another while focused on their own individual work.
At the elementary level the basic structure is the same, but teachers honor the developmental need for more socialization in children of this age. Lessons are more often given in small groups, and children prefer to work with one another. While there is a great emphasis on choice and self-directed learning, children in elementary classrooms are expected to meet certain academic guidelines. For example, a teacher may require that throughout the course of the day or week, a child must do work in all academic areas. Teachers check in with students to make sure they are meeting these goals, and gently guide them with strategies to do so.
Regardless of the level, the work cycle gives children a chance to develop autonomy, make choices, and find genuine joy in their work. Teachers hold this time as sacred, and it allows children to dive deeply into learning.

Q: How to do model selection with more regressors than observations? Consider a standard ordinary linear regression model with $n$ observations and $K>n$ possible regressors (i.e., more regressors than observations).
You know the model is linear but you don't know the relevant regressors. How to proceed with model selection when $n$ is small (i.e., preventing cross-validation)?

A: The standard solution is to use stepwise regression. Either forward or a bidirectional method that starts with a single predictor.
I must stress in giving this answer that I am taking your statement that 'you know the model is linear' at face value. If it is not true, then all the normal reasons why stepwise regression is a bad idea come into play.

A: What you're asking for is a common scenario in feature selection. Stepwise methods are simple to run (only a few R commands), but it's also a greedy method. I don't think it's appropriate for me to repeat advantages/disadvantages for stepwise regression, please read:

*

*Algorithms for automatic model selection

*What are the advantages of stepwise regression?
Please note the R-square, F-statistic etc in the link all assume linear model is appropriate for your data, otherwise whatever you get might not make sense. Stepewise methods are generally don't perform very well practically, but it's certinaly better than random guessing.
Many statisticians prefer Lasso regression. You have a
shinrkage parameter that you can use to control the lasso effects. The first link has the details.

Roger's Remarks
Student Services & Enrollment Management
Roger J. Thompson
Dr. Roger J. Thompson is in his thirteenth year at the University of Oregon where he serves as the Vice President for Student Services and Enrollment Management. He is responsible for services that contribute to enhancing the student experience, recruitment, retention, and graduation. His portfolio also includes providing continuing and professional education for the community.
Thompson leads an organization of more than 1,900 team members and an operating and scholarship budget in excess of $200 million. Further, enrollment at the University of Oregon has reached record levels for total enrollment; academic quality; diversity, including ethnicity, socio-economic, and international representation; and freshmen-to-sophomore retention rates during Thompson's tenure. In three of the last four years, the University of Oregon has set record enrollment for the largest, most diverse, and most academically prepared freshman class in the history of the institution. The 2019, 2021, and 2022 incoming classes all established new records in the aforementioned areas. The class of 2022 set a record for the largest class ever with 30% growth from the 2010–2019 10-year average, and representing 35% growth since 2020, while diversity and academic quality also established university records..
Additionally, capital construction and improvement has occurred throughout the division beginning with the new Kalapuya Illihi residence hall opening in fall 2017, a significant expansion and renovation of the University Health Center in 2019, and the "UO Transformational Housing Plan" supported by the University of Oregon Board of Trustees in May 2018 completing phase one with the opening of DeNorval Unthank Hall in 2021. Phase two and three of the plan will be completed in 2023.
Student Services and Enrollment Management positively impacts the student lifecycle daily through the departments that comprise the division: Continuing and Professional Education, Office of Admissions, Office of the Registrar, Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships, Student Orientation Programs, Student Services and Enrollment Management Development, Student Services and Enrollment Management Research, Strategic Communications and Marketing, University Health Services, University Housing and University Testing Center. The aforementioned departments provide services to prospective and currently enrolled students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of the UO. Since the beginning of the current UO fundraising campaign, more than $118 million has been gifted to Student Services and Enrollment Management for the support of students through scholarships.
Prior to arriving at the University of Oregon, Thompson served as the vice provost for enrollment management and special advisor to the president at Indiana University in Bloomington. During his four-year tenure at IU, the university not only reached record enrollment—growing from approximately 38,000 students to more than 42,000 students—but the quality of the freshman class grew to the highest level in its history, including a 100-point rise in average SAT scores, from 1103 to 1203. Additionally, new financial aid programs were developed and implemented to help low- and middle-income families with the cost of attending college, and the university undertook a new approach to merit-based scholarships. The signature institutional aid program, 21st-Century Scholars, was recognized by the College Board as a model for effectiveness in addressing college affordability.
Prior to his time at IU, Thompson served at the University of Alabama for more than eight years in a number of roles in enrollment management, eventually becoming chief enrollment management officer as associate vice president for enrollment management. In every year he was responsible for enrollment, the institution set records for total enrollment, entering freshman class size, academic quality, and diversity, including a growth in African American enrollment of nearly 50 percent. Thompson was also recognized for his contribution to the university by receiving the Robert Vance Award, named in recognition of the leadership provided by federal judge Vance, who was instrumental in enforcing desegregation in the South in the 1960s. While in his position as a faculty member of the UA Graduate School, Thompson served on several doctoral dissertation committees in the higher education program. He was also awarded lifetime membership to the UA National Alumni Association. Thompson also served in a number of capacities at the University of Southern California for nearly eight years, and prior to his tenure at USC, worked in student affairs at several other institutions.
A nationally distinguished expert in strategic enrollment management and student services, Thompson's work has been recognized by several organizations including PBS News Hour, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, The Atlantic, the College Board, ACT, and the American Marketing Association. Thompson has been a frequent presenter at national and regional conferences throughout the country and has published in the areas of leadership development, college choice, student persistence, student success, and affordability issues in higher education. He also served for nearly a decade on the editorial board for the higher education journal College and University and currently is a member of the advisory board for the national publication Enrollment Management Report.
He founded an AAU group of chief enrollment management officers, which he chaired for eight years. Dr. Thompson also serves as Vice Chairman of the Marist Catholic High School Board of Directors, and since 2015 Thompson has served on the statewide Board of Directors for Special Olympics Oregon. In 2016, Thompson was knighted as a Portland Royal Rosarian, an honor for those in Portland affiliated with the Portland Rose Festival parade and celebration.
A native Oregonian, Thompson earned a bachelor of arts in broadcasting from California State University, Long Beach, a master of science from the University of Central Missouri, and a doctorate in higher education policy and administration from the University of Southern California.
Beginning Friday, November 4, 2022, Dr. Roger Thompson will hold open office hours on Fridays from 9:00–10:00 a.m. for student drop-in visits. Email ssem@uoregon.edu to schedule a Zoom meeting.

I have learned to live with the crappy "premium" sound system in my 2014 EXL 6 banger w/o nav. And for the past 8 months or so, I've found a good work around for not having proper Accord text functionality with my MOTO-X. It's the Read-it-to-Me Pro android app. Properly configured, it reads my incoming texts over the stereo speakers when bluetooth connected, allows me to issue a vocal "cancel" command if I don't want to reply, or a vocal "reply" command which puts the app in speech-to-text mode (extremely accurately I might add) and then plays back my spoken reply, then allow me to issue a "send" vocal command to send the text. It's totally hands free and, IMO works better than a visual text on my display screen would work any way. So at least I can have this texting functionality with my MOTO X phone and be happy. I've not had any issues with the phone bluetooth aspect of my Accord and am happy with that as well.
This type of input is exactly what I had hoped for in this forum. Great job Whozplaying! I'll try the app on my LG G3 and report back. Thanks again.
Hello I has been a long time since anyone posted anything. I have a 2015 Honda accord hybrid exL and my infotainment system keeps locking up. They one way to get it back working is to turn off the car. I have called Honda and they said I'm the only one with this issue. have taken my car to the dealer and nothing is ever found. I do not know what else to do. Its very frustrating. I'm using it mostly bluetooth with iPhone 6 Plus. Most of the time freezes while streaming music.
are you using the USB cable into your iPhone or just BT? Do you have the issue with the USB cable?
i had an issue with the HandsFreeLink communicating with my Droid and had to delete the phone from the car's memory and re-connect. That resolved those issues.
I occasionally have an issue where calls are dropped and the HFL seems to struggle with maintaining a connection. I also see this issue with aftermarket radios.
I haven't taken a 2015 apart but this is the bluetooth module inside the 2014 non-touch screen.
I'm using both. I had issue with both. Sometimes I get the message saying that it's not compatible. But if I unplug and plug back in it goes away. But it's been better since I complete erased my device and setup as new. Repaired Bluetooth. But Honda fails to assist with it. Spoke with there corporate multiple times and they just don't give a crap. I even ask them about the Siri eyes free feature and they don't know about it. It's bad.
Sadly, Honda can't help because they only spec'd the radio, they didn't build or design it.
Still fighting with honda to fix issue. Ditched my iPhone 6 plus because they said it was the issue and bought a 6 because they said that was compatible.
I started this blog in 2012 because of all the software problems with my new 2012 Acord and like you Honda America told me I was the only one reporting the problem. They later admitted to it and made several half assed attempts to fix it but never did then I did what they wanted, I gave up. I worked in Detroit for 3 years and then for 25 years designed electronic connectors for the auto .ind. so I think I have an idea why Honda released the 2012 Acord for production when it clearly wasn't ready. Their competition was releasing a newly designed Altama. Honda had to know they had software problems but made the decision to release it anyway and address the problems later.
I'm sorry to hear that 3 years later and your having the same issues with your new car. I had Honda's in the past but I don't think I would buy another.
I was an engineer in the automotive ind. for 32 years and what Honda is telling us about the radio being spec'd from an outside supplier is true. What they are telling us about them not being responsible is BS. They control every part of the performance of parts from there suppliers and here is my thought on their prem. system. Compared to the Bose system in my GM Blazer the speakers are junk, the 360 watts they advertise is Peak to Peak, prem systems are rated RMS which is .707 times P - P = 250 watts, prem. systems are rated with a load into 4 ohms, Honda's system is into 2 ohms which gives us an actual prem. power rating of about 125 watts.
To add insult to injury, I only know of two manufactures that make prem. speakers for 2 ohm systems.
I know, I feel the same way, it would be my last. I'm just getting tired.

Detectives are appealing for information after a man suffered a fractured eye socket following an assault in Morecambe.
Police were called by the Ambulance Service around 3.20am on August 18 after a 28-year-old man was found in Queen Street with facial injuries.
The victim, from the Morecambe area, had been outside Nowhere Bar when he was put in a headlock by another man.
He was eventually released, but fell forward hitting his face on the floor, fracturing his eye socket and falling unconscious. He was later taken to Royal Preston Hospital for treatment.
The offender made off from the scene before police arrived.
Police are appealing for information following the incident and urging anyone who can assist with our enquiries to come forward.
Det Con Nikki Kay, of Lancashire Police, said: "An investigation is underway after a man was left with serious facial injuries following an assault in Morecambe.
"The attack happened close to Nowhere Bar and we believe a number of people were in the area at the time of the offence.

I didn't want to be like everybody else. Art was my religion.
Julian Schnabel, a Neo-Expressionist, with his controversial career and characteristic defiance, despises flatness in artwork. He often makes use from a wide sources of materials and unusual supports such as velvet, or cardboard onto which he heaps layers of paint. His strong sense of artistic creativity also led him to test other art forms: music, photography and filmmaking. Though he defines himself primarily as a painter, he has received international acclaim as a writer as well as film director of Basquiat, Before Night Falls, and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly; also noted for his film productions.
