On January 2, the Indian elephant Ryuka wrote this year's Chinese zodiac sign of the horse in kanji at the Okinawa Zoo & Museum.
On January 2, the Indian elephant Ryuka tried kakizome or first calligraphy at the Okinawa Zoo & Museum. She wrote this year's Chinese zodiac sign of Horse in kanji, holding a special customized brush for calligraphy with her trunk. In tribute to this year's Chinese zodiac, the Yonaguni horse Dunan and Navie signed the works by Ryuka with their signature hoof prints in red color.
The zoo gave the elephant and horse-signed works as New Year presents to the visitors born in the Horse year.
Their kakizome will be displayed at the special exhibition gallery until the end of this month.

Harry Connick Jr. to launch daytime show
'I felt like this would be an opportunity to do all the things I love to do under one roof,' he says.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Harry Connick Jr. has recorded, toured, performed in movies and sitcoms, starred on Broadway and, in the process, charmed nearly everyone he meets.
Now he's launching a syndicated daytime talk-variety show, appropriately titled, "Harry," and his reason why is simple.
Harry Connick Jr.'s syndicated daytime talk-variety show, "Harry," premieres Sept. 12.
"I love to entertain and I've done so many things throughout my career that have fulfilled me, I felt like this would be an opportunity to do all the things I love to do under one roof," Connick told TV writers Wednesday at the summer Television Critics Association meeting. "I'll get to experience the entertainment business in a new way."
Music will play an important role on the New York-based series, and the nine-member group with which he tours and records will serve as his house band.
But they won't be plugging in songs in a formulaic fashion, he promised.
"Music's gonna be done in a whole bunch of ways – spontaneous ways," he said. "Sometimes we'll play, just cause we feel like playing."
And when it comes to talking with his guests, Connick said he'll be doing it off-the-cuff, eschewing the usual talk-show practice of the "pre-interview" (where a producer chats up each guest beforehand, then prepares a list of talking points for the host).
"That way, there's this undercurrent of rehearsal," said Connick. "I just want to have conversations."
"Harry" premieres Sept. 12 (check local listings).

As the evidence mounts of the negative effects of medical marijuana laws in various states, it's even more important for parents to recognize that marijuana needs to be on their parenting radar screen.
The parents of teenagers' friends can have as much effect on teens' decisions about substance use as their own parents, a new study suggests.
If the parents of a teenager's friends are not aware of their own child's alcohol or drug use, or condone it, then it is more likely the teen will drink or smoke, the study found.
The study included 9,000 ninth graders, who were asked about their closest friends, their parents' discipline, and whether their parents knew who their friends were, HealthDay reports. The researchers broke the teens down into about 900 groups of friends. A year later, the teens were surveyed about their substance use.
The researchers found substance use in tenth grade was significantly related to parenting behavior of friends' parents. This was true even after taking into account the effects of the teenagers' own parents' behaviors, and their friends' substance use.
The study appeared in the May 2012 Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs.
"Parental Involvement in Homework: A Review of Current Research and Its Implications for Teachers, After School Program Staff, and Parent Leaders" from the Harvard Family Research Project. October 2004, 10 pages.

Q: Which is a better design pattern for a database wrapper: Save as you go or Save when you're done? I know this is probably a bad way to ask this question. I was unable to find another question that addressed this.
The full question is this: We're producing a wrapper for a database and have two different viewpoints on managing data with the wrapper.
The first is that all changes made to a data object in code must be persisted in the database by calling a "save" method to actually save the changes. The other side is that these changes should be save as they are made, so if I change a property it's saved, I change another it's save as well.
What are the pros/cons of either choice and which is the "proper" way to manage the data?

To provide more information, we're using Node.js, and we're writing our own wrapper for Neo4j because we feel that the current one available is not complete, or have run into issues where we need more functionality. That being said, an example of the save as you go method (these examples are in Javascript):
// DB is defined as a connection to the database via HTTP(REST)
// "data" being an object that would represent new data
var node;
db.getNodeById(data.id, function(err, result) {
  node = result;
  // This function task an optional callback as a third parameter because in
  // in addition to setting the property on the "node" object it saves the
  // new value to the database by making an HTTP request.
  node.set("firstName", data.newFirstName);
  // auto saved as well
  node.set("lastName", data.newLastName);
  // end here as the node has already been updated with your changes.
});

And the opposing example would be:
// DB is defined as a connection to the database via HTTP(REST)
// "data" being an object that would represent new data
var node;
db.getNodeById(data.id, function(err, result) {
  node = result;
  // This changes the value for the node object only, nothing in the
  // database is changed.
  node.set("firstName", data.newFirstName);
  node.set("lastName", data.newLastName);
  // Save all your changes
  node.save();
});

A: If you need transactions in your application, you will need to offer some kind of explicit "Save" option.   If the applications don't need transactions, using a database (as opposed to, say, a NoSQL technology) may be redundant.
This also means that the "Save" operation should not be a method called on the mutated object.   It should be a method on the transaction object, or the session.

A: I'd go for explicitly calling the save() method.  Otherwise you'll get redundant saves when you don't need them. What if you have some sort of "onKeyUp" event.  Do you really want to save as the user is typing each character? You'd be locked into that model.
In a multi-tiered app it's good for the code to be "aware" of the tier it's on. You don't need to hide it by having a bunch of state saving magic going on behind the scenes. Why is being "aware" good? Because hiding it is obfuscating how it works, not abstracting. (my opinion).
On another topic...... instead of Node.save(); use save(Node n); Actually save could still be a method of an object, just not the Node object. Why? Saving is not something that a node does. And this functionality literally is different depending on which tier your on, suggesting it's a behavior of the tier, not the node.
For example lets say you have Node.Draw(); This method doesn't even make sense on the serverside. Instead do something like GameBoard.Draw(Node n);
I'm probably getting too far off topic, but that's my 2 cents.

A: This post is old, but I had the same issue with respect to an inventory management project my company is building.  It's a web-based PHP application with a PostgreSQL backend.  We opted for the Save-As-You-Go approach as opposed to a Stage-and-Commit style (I borrowed the terms from version control because it's accurate here), because we want to offer feedback to the user immediately if there's an issue saving a record update to the actual database.  Waiting until the script is closing and destructors are being called to finally discover there's an issue with saving all the user's changes was an unacceptable risk (given the complexity that our transactions can have).  The drawback might be increased database traffic, but the user can know rather than hope that his changes have been made correctly.  Those are the pros and cons I considered when answering this question for myself.  Hopefully my answer will assist somebody else too.

My friend Bruce Sundlun was born 98 years ago this week. When he ran for Governor of Rhode Island in 1990 he wrote a book called "Hope". Recently, I came across an old copy, which you can read here.
The book recounts Sundlun's epic life and looks back at a Rhode Island that is now largely gone. It's also a timeless window into how the sacrifices, energy and "can do" attitude of millions of individual Americans survived the Depression, beat the Nazis, won the Cold War and built the Great American 20 th Century. They worked to build a prosperous, tolerant country before passing it on to their children and grandchildren for safe-keeping. Their example is a daily inspiration to me.
Sundlun's book also lays out the then candidate's detailed vision for a better Rhode Island, and the policy positions he believed would make it so. It's a remarkable reminder of a time when we picked our leaders based on something other than coverage of polls and attacks, gratuitous analysis of the "horse race" or an overreliance on labels, ideology and "teams." A quarter century after his election, and several years after his death, the Governor's legacy and historic record of accomplishment can be traced back directly to these pages.
Good media coverage is a valuable part of creating a climate where an organization's business goals can be achieved. It confers third-party credibility and adds real value to your social media. Here's just some of the recent good news about our clients.
For over a century, the Boy Scouts have created opportunity for millions of boys like Juan Osorio. Juan's mother moved his family from Colombia to Central Falls, R.I. when he was a child in pursuit of the American Dream. She signed him up for Scouting where he thrived and ultimately became an Eagle Scout.
Juan grew up to work for the Narragansett Council, Boy Scouts of America until he was promoted last year to Scout Executive/CEO of the Chattahoochee Council in Columbus, Georgia. Recently, Juan shared his thoughts on Scouting, and America, with the Providence Journal before departing for Georgia.
Quonset Business Park is known as Rhode Island's economic engine, and a key component of that success is the Park's own short line railroad called Seaview Railroad. The railroad conveniently and cost-effectively delivers rail cargo from across the country, like lumber and automobiles, to businesses throughout the park.
This past December, Seaview broke its annual record by transporting 7,007 railcars at Quonset in 2017. Because of the railroad's growth, Quonset continues to strengthen Rhode Island's economy by attracting more companies and jobs to Rhode Island.
The Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank strengthens the state's economy and protects our environment. Recently, R.I. Governor Gina M. Raimondo appointed Shaun O'Rourke, Director of Stormwater and Resiliency at the Infrastructure Bank, to new, additional duties as the state's first "Chief Resiliency Officer".
In this new role, O'Rourke will lead the state's efforts to prepare for climate-change and coordinate efforts between state agencies, local governments and the private sector. O'Rourke will remain at RIIB while fulfilling this new, important role.
Recently, local Scouts marked their 30 th annual Scouting for Food drive by helping the community donate and deliver thousands of canned goods to 150 local food banks and meal programs in three states served by the Narragansett Council. Over 200,000 pounds of food was collected and distributed to about 150 food pantries and meal programs around the state.
WPRI Eyewitness News anchor Mike Montecalvo, a long-time champion of the event, worked with his colleagues at Channel 12 to help sort and deliver the donations.
The Newport Restoration Foundation (NRF) works to preserve, interpret, and maintain landscape and objects reflecting 18th- and 19th- century architectural culture in Newport, R.I. and on Aquidneck Island. Last week, we worked with the group to announce the arrival of their new executive director Mark Thompson.
Thompson plans to execute NRF's new strategic plan and prioritize its nationally-recognized "Keeping History Above Water" program when he assumes the new role on February 5, 2018.

Generating a conditional allele of Irf6
A research team that includes Youssef A. Kousa, M.S., D.O., Ph.D., has created a novel tool to delete Interferon regulatory factor 6, which regulates how epidermal cells differentiate, multiply and migrate.
A research team has created a novel tool to delete Interferon regulatory factor 6 (Irf6), which regulates how epidermal cells differentiate, multiply and migrate.
Mutations of this critical transcription factor are implicated in two orofacial clefting disorders. As with other transcription factors, the IRF6 protein binds to specific regions of DNA and plays a role in that specific gene's activity. With van der Woude syndrome, a rare disease that occurs in 1 in 35,000 individuals, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) says mutations to the IRF6 gene inhibit production of the IRF6 protein. That protein shortfall lies at the heart of incomplete development and stalled maturation of tissues in the skull and face. For popliteal pterygium syndrome, IRF6 mutations can trigger facial abnormalities, webbed skin, and fused fingers and toes.
According to the NIH, the IRF6 protein is active in embryonic skin cells that later become tissue in the head, face and tongue. The study authors write that DNA variation in the IRF6 gene (which issues the marching orders to make the IRF6 protein) significantly heightens risk for developing non-syndromic cleft lip and palate, one of the most common congenital defects.
Studying the function of this critical gene in preclinical models has been hobbled by the fact that experimental models created without the Irf6 allele are born with severe skin, limb and craniofacial defects and die shortly after birth.
To overcome this hurdle, the research team did a bit of creative genetic shuffling to make a conditional allele of Irf6 to test in specific tissues at specific times as the experimental animals matured.
"The experimental models with the Irf6 conditional allele were viable after birth and, in fact, showed no developmental or reproductive defects when compared with their litter mates – which provides a reassurance that this specific change does not appear to affect overall normal gene function," says Youssef A. Kousa, M.S., D.O., Ph.D., a pediatric resident in the child neurology track at Children's National Health System and co-lead author of the technology report published online May 8, 2017 in Genesis.
To drill down into how the conditional allele affected the experimental models, the research team bred them with other animals specially designed to illuminate the function of the conditional allele. Some genotypes were lost, as was expected. Litters that were hypothesized to experience certain rates of severe limb, skin and craniofacial abnormalities did so. Immunostaining revealed IRF6 expression throughout the spinous layer and basal – or deepest – layer of the epidermis, but such expression was lacking in wildtype and knockout embryos.
In a different group of experimental models, the researchers added the deleter strain Ella-Cre. Nineteen resulting embryos were positive for the conditional allele but showed no evidence of recombination. Eight normal embryos showed incomplete recombination. Nine embryos showed complete recombination in tail tissue. Just one embryo phenocopied the wild type embryos.
"Our research team successfully created the conditional allele for IRF6, which will open the door to future studies of gene function in neonatal experimental models," Dr. Kousa and colleagues conclude. "Even though the allele is capable of recombination, we saw that efficacy varied and is linked to specific cell types. One possible explanation is variation in chromatin structure at the IRF6 locus."
Future research will explore the utility of other Cre-drivers, such as Gdf9-Cre or CAG-Cre, to provide additional clarity about the functionality of the newly derived conditional alleles.

There's been a lot of buzz surrounding this East London four-piece indie band and it's increased exponentially following the release of this, their self-titled debut album. The cover alone is enough to hint at the weird, psychedelia the album provides - the multicoloured design suggestive of the multi-faceted musical pallette on display.
The list of influences is endless, musical colours colliding in kaleidoscopic array. Daft Punk-esque electro beats and basslines meet jangling guitars (no pun intended). Driving rock and roll meets 70s hippy folk. Gentle vocals suggest Simon and Garfunkel, with a Jose Gonzales delicacy and Beach Boys harmonies. Tribal drums mix with oriental melodies.
Take Default as an example, the band's debut single. It encapsulates their unique brand of weirdness with its convergence of musical styles. Firewater features a bassline reminiscent of Stevie Wonder's Higher Ground; Waveforms begins with dubstep wobbles that makes way for a concoction of grating synths and intricate rhythmic patterns; Zumm Zumm's repetitive synth bass acts as a constant counterpoint to the track's other elements. Later, Hand of Man offers a more relaxed, acoustic affair and the oriental melodies of penultimate track Skies Over Cairo set it apart from the rest of the album. That the band is led by drummer David McClean is telling - complex rhythmic patterns and repeated riffs take precedence over melodic variation and development.
'Django Django' is a creative and artistic melting pot, equally modern and retro. It's unlikely to appeal to the pop demographic though, with its overall lack of vocal or melodic hooks - this is indie music that will most likely end up sidelined. It's an album of eclectic musical colours but a lack of accessible direction, individual ideas that converge into a blur, technicaly ability over emotional heart. An interesting creation, but also a frustrating listen, this is avante-garde-pop that leans a little too heavily on the weird.
Listen: 'Django Django' is available now.
Watch: The band are currently on tour, see their website for details.

Build up your science with the "Architecture" show.
Towers, teepees, castles, and condominiums – some kind of planning goes into all buildings, no matter how big or small. Architects are people who design buildings, and the areas around buildings. Usually architects draw on a computer or a big desk (a drawing board). The plans show the dimensions of all parts of a building. Architects try to design with the purpose of the building in mind, but even buildings used for the same thing can look very different.
Normally buildings are a lot more than boxes. Architects use different shapes and materials to make buildings unique. Columns, arches, and different holes (windows and doors) give a building a personality while being useful at the same time. Wood looks cozy, while steel looks cool. Rounded shapes look soft, and angled shapes look hard. Architects use different shapes and materials to create a feeling or mood while keeping the building useful for people.
Be constructive – watch the "Architecture" episode.
Architects design buildings and spaces to be useful and to affect the senses.
The biggest building in the world, Hong Kong's Asia Terminals freight station, measures 865,930 square meters (9,320,867 square feet)?
The West Edmonton Mall in Alberta, Canada, is the largest mall in the world? There are 800 stores and a parking lot for 20,000 cars.
Strahov Stadium, in Czechoslovakia, is the world's biggest stadium? It can hold 240,000 spectators and 40,000 performing gymnasts.

Writing to be Understood
December 22, 2010 R. M. Almeida
Biography, Reflections, Writing
I asked a friend of mine to take a look at my website today, and was surprised to receive feedback that what I had written gave the impression that I was some starving, no name writer. To date, I have been published in 17 magazines and have compiled over 25 manuals in the past seven years.
Another comment that my friend made dealt with my description of a writer as a person who was sitting in the corner of a bar or restaurant dutifully recording what our eyes see. Due to my friends comment, I now feel I need to elaborate with a story or two — moments in my life that led to publishable short stories.
Perhaps I should talk about the New York club in San Jose, Costa Rica. The year was 1983, I had some time and decided to plan an excursion to the capital city of San Jose. I went alone, more of a side trip that lasted all day. I did not have enough currency with me, so I stopped into the bar to see if the bartender knew of any place I exchange my money. One of the patrons in the bar happened to mention that the appliance store across the street could change my money. The patron decided to escort me across the street to the appliance store, since the store owner was a personal friend of his. He introduced me, and I gave the owner about $150 to exchange for Costa Rican currency. One thing that caught my eye in the owner's office was a photograph of him with a younger man in fatigues, the owner sporting an AR–15 assault rifle, and the younger man armed with a Russian-made AK–47, the photograph obviously taken deep in the Costa Rican jungle.
After thanking the owner and the patron of the bar, we made our way back to the New York club. I offered to buy him a drink. Several hours (and many highballs) later, I soon found that I was in the company of a former Army captain. He had a lot of interesting stories to tell — about the jungle, about the seedier side of San Jose, as well as tales of lakes hidden deep in the jungle harboring many secrets, including a new secret that he embellished in his drunken fervor. My new friend bragged that only a few days before he had tracked, ambushed, and executed a pair of drug dealers. To support his claim, it was not long before a much older man sauntered into the bar, and told him in Spanish that if he kept talking about his deed, he would likely end up dead. My new friend nodded, then excused himself, and followed the older man out the door.
My stint in the Navy took me to places that many people would not even dream of going. Perhaps I could talk about the time that I was in Hong Kong, in 1985. I'd found a very interesting bar called Susie Wong's. Whatever I would find myself in a new city, and out alone, my first instinct — after purchasing a drink at the bar, was to find a nice seat against the wall, so that I can see everyone that walked into the bar. As a writer, unless you meet a character, you need to develop the ability to observe. It is these moments of observation, that can give you ideas for your stories. As a writer, especially a fiction writer, you're better off watching than getting involved.
That day, I was noticed by a gentleman with an Irish brogue. He told me his name is Gordon McClintock, and that he was a financial planner. I didn't know why, but there was something about a story that did not ring true. One of the first questions that Gordon asked me was if I was an American. I told him yes, I was. Mr. McClintock made a decision to elaborate about how bad the American government operated. He continued to talk about the ugly American, and how I should be proud of my heritage. At that point I decided to buy him another drink. After his drink but delivered to the table, I asked him why he felt such hatred for the American government. And he prattled on for another hour, defending his words — meanwhile, I was pressing him with drinks. It took about three hours for Mr. McClintock to crack, but I did finally get the truth out of him. After about the 10th drink, Mr. McClintock began to change the subject, and talk about all the goings-on in the bar that we were now in. Gordon related vivid details of assassinations, murders, and brawls that were a regular occurrence in the bar (especially at night). His next confession, was the reason why he was in Hong Kong in the first place. Gordon McClintock, it turned out, had been a member of the IRA (Irish Republican Army) , a well-known terrorist organization of the time. Mr. McClintock also admitted that he was married to the daughter of a Chinese Triad chieftain.
When I am relating or true life stories, not fabrications. However, if it were not for these moments in my life, if I had not been in the corner of the bar, being quiet and unassuming, these characters for my stories would never have come to mind. And so my friends, I have always lived for moments like these — those precious times in my life that provided me the fodder for my now published science-fiction stories.

George Michael's sister dies suddenly in her North London home on anniversary of his death
His younger sister Melanie Panayiotou was found dead at her home on Christmas Day

George Michael's sister Melanie Panayiotou has died aged just 55, exactly three years after the singer's tragic death.
Hairdresser Melanie was found by her older sister Yioda Panayiotou at her home in North London, on Christmas Day - the same day George died in 2016.
George passed away at his home in Oxfordshire, while Melanie died at her home in Oak Hill Park, Hampstead .
The awful news has been confirmed by George's rep to the Mirror .
"We can confirm that very tragically Melanie has passed away suddenly," he said.
"We would simply ask that the family's privacy be respected at this very sad time.
"There will be no further comments."
George Michael died on Christmas Day in 2016
In a statement to the Mirror, the Metropolitan Police said: "Police were called by London Ambulance Service at approximately 7.35pm on Wednesday, December 25 to reports of the sudden death of a woman, aged in her 50s, at an address in Oak Hill Park, NW3.
"The death is not being treated as suspicious by police.
"A report will be compiled for the coroner into the circumstances."
The siblings were very close from birth, with Melanie travelling around the world with her beloved brother at the height of his fame.
She was also with him for most of his life milestones, and George left the bulk of his estate to her and Yioda when he died aged 53 from heart and fatty liver disease.
Melanie had spoken proudly of her famous brother in November, telling The Big Issue about the release of the George-inspired Christmas movie Last Christmas.
"My family and I hope you all enjoy the film, and Yog's music old and new, woven beautifully into this fun, easy tale of love and self-love," she wrote in the publication.
"As many of you know, Yog adored Christmas and he loved the idea of this film. I am sure he will be enjoying seeing Emelia [Clark]'s amazing light bulb smile, something they share, across the celestial miles!
"And, most importantly, we all, together with our dear departed Yog (my 'very proud to be gay' brother — contrary to what you may have read recently!) wish a very merry, merry Christmas to Big Issue sellers and readers alike," Melanie added.

Many businesses provide an array of product lines which might be unique to a single organization or might be common across the firm's industry. If an organization raises the price tag, customers may consider it a top quality product, but there's also the risk that customers may regard the price too high for the value they are getting from the item. There are only a few products that don't have any very clear competition in the marketplace.
