Q: Display changes between two directories Okay this is about my fifth thread on the topic because I'm balls-out lost in every aspect of this horrendous assignment. I've used other solutions that worked perfectly but cannot be employed such as using the awk command, sed, and comm. Instead, gotta do this the hard way.
I am so lost, at this point I'm not even doing it to hand it in because it's a zero since it's past the due date, I've been tearing my hair out for the past 18 hours trying to get this done just for the sake of getting it done. Much appreciated if you can save me from putting a bullet into my head.
Point of the assignment: You are to write a Bash shell script which will help compare the contents of two directories. Write a utility that satisfies the following requirements:

*

*Your script will compare filenames
in two directories, and list
information about filenames that are
in one directory but not the other.
The information listed will be a
long listing of each file, similar
to the "ls -l" command. The
directory names must be specified,
including any required absolute or
relative paths.

*Your script will work for all kinds
of files, including directories that
are contained in the specified
directories. The script will print
an appropriate error message if the
number of arguments passed to it is
something other than 2, or if the
directory names specified are not
names of valid existing directories.
If an error message is issued, then
the script should end with an exit
status of 1 (one). Otherwise, it
should end with an exit status of 0
(zero).

Specifications:

*

*Files in the directory that this
script is supposed to work on don't
have execute permissions, only read
which if I'm not mistaken can only
display file names, so we can't see
file contents. I tried, I get
permission denied.

*All information regarding this
assignment can be found here:

What I have done:
#!/bin/bash

if [ ! -d $1 ]
   then
      echo $1 is not a valid existing directory >&2
      exit 1
   elif [ ! -d $2 ]
      then
      echo $2 is not a valid existing directory >&2
         exit 1
   elif [ $# = 0 ]
      then
         echo Usage: compdir dir-name1 dir-name2 >&2
         exit 1
   elif [ $# = 1 ]
      then
         echo Usage: compdir dir-name1 dir-name2 >&2
         exit 1
   elif [ $# = 2 ]
      then

         ls -a $1 > temp1
         ls -a $2 > temp2

         cat temp1 |
         while read input
         do
            grep -Fvf temp1 temp2 > temp1_diff
         done

         cat ~temp2 |
         while read input
         do
            grep -Fvf temp2 temp1 > temp2_diff
         done

         #Files that are in $1 but not in $2
         cat temp1_diff |
         while read input
         do
            Files that are in $1 but not in $2
            cd $2
            ls -la `cat ../temp1_diff`
         done

         cd ..
         echo -e

         #Files that are in $2 but not in $1
         cat temp2_diff |
         while read input
         do
            Files that are in $2 but not in $1
            cd $1
            ls -la `cat ../temp2_diff`
         done

   elif [ $# = 3 ]
      then
         echo Usage: compdir dir-name1 dir-name2 >&2
         exit 1
   else
         echo Usage: compdir dir-name1 dir-name2 >&2
         exit 1
fi

The problems I am encountering:

*

*It will not write any files that
have any characters like dots or
spaces or anything in them to
temp1_diff and temp2_diff.

*I cannot get the echo to echo once
even if it's before or in the loop.

*I get constant errors that it cannot
navigate to $1 or $2 etc.

A: How about approaching it this way:
for f in `ls -a $1`
do
    if [ -r $1/$f ] && [ ! -x $1/$f ] && [ ! -r $2/$f ]
        then
            echo "$f Not in other dir"

Now you know that the file is in your first dir, but not the second.
Edit: changed to check if file in first dir is readable + not executable per specs in question - that will tell you if it's not in the other dir with read permissions

A: *

*You can list the whole tree by using find. If you want the tree "based" in the same place, do find $the_dir -printf '%P\n' > somewhere. (otherwise find will prepend $the_dir to every line, making comparisons harder)

*Instead of checking every single line separately, keep in mind that if you have a file with both directory contents listed, you can just take unique lines from it. Use uniq -u for it. (requirement doesn't say you have to tell where the file is / isn't)

*Don't check the argument count many times, it's either == 2, or it should go into the else clause.

Also, the comment about file permissions is wrong - if it has +r, you can read it. If the file has +x, you can execute it. Whether you see the file depends only on the containing directory's permissions.

A: Once upon a time, there was a program called dircmp that did quite a lot of what is requested - the main difference being that it did not do ls -l format listings for files found in but not the other directory.  That will require some hacking.  Some time ago it became clear that dircmp was going the way of dinosaurs, but there's enough of the palæontologist in to create a version that works for me.  It will likely give you some issues if you have to deal with filenames containing blanks, tabs or newlines, but otherwise is likely to usable.
Here is the not complete answer to your assignment, but at least a workable start point.

You want to make sure that the plumber has fulfilled all his requirements as promised in the agreement before he gets paid. Knowing what tools and the proper way to use them will make you much better at plumbing. Before attempting any repairs, you should have a plan; otherwise, a mistake could make repairs even more costly. Check the floors in your bathroom for soft areas around the floors. You can wind up saving your money simply by noticing the problem as early as possible. Use strainers on all drains to prevent debris that might clog the pipes from getting through. The bathtub's strainers need to cleaned out as needed. If you get your water from a well and orange or pink stains appear in your sink or tub, it's because of the iron level in the water. This is something that needs to be taken care of by water softener, which can be bought at a store, or have a company come out to your house and take care of it for you. By having a regular cleaning routine, lemon rinds, and even cherry pits, your disposal can be kept smelling fresh and running smoothly for many years to come. You can save a lot of money in your energy with efficient shower heads. More information about Local Emergency Sewer Plumbing Cleaner Pylesville MD.
It's a lot easier to take hair that is on a screen than eliminating it off a pipe. Clean the aerator to adjust water pressure issues due to sediment build up. Take out the aerator, disassemble it, and brush it clean with a little vinegar. Don't bother running water while putting food through your garbage disposal. In contrast, sending water and garbage through the disposal together can shorten its lifespan by encouraging more waste to stick to the moving parts. Try to avoid the use drain cleaners as often as you can. Drain cleaners contain very corrosive chemicals and can actually damage pipes if used too much. If you find that your drain is clogged, hire a pro to figure out the problem. There are two ways to get a stubborn clean-out plug. The first one is to use a hammer and chisel to attempt loosening the fitting loose. Your second option is to simply chisel through the out plug.

Cyclists may be unaware they don't need specialty insurance to protect their bicycles. In many situations, bicycles are covered by your standard homeowners, renters, or condo insurance policy. Plus, if you're injured on your bike in a collision with a vehicle, your auto insurance may even cover your medical bills.
Under personal property coverage on most home insurance policies, your bike may be covered for what it's currently worth. You're typically protected if the bike is stolen (or vandalized) pretty much anywhere, including your home, garage, at the park, etc. Same goes for renters or condo insurance. A deductible may apply and you'll be covered up to the applicable limits of your home, condo or renters policy. The National Bike Registry estimates that over 1.5 million bicycles are stolen annually, and that number is on the rise thanks to the growing popularity of cycling. So you'll want to make certain your bicycle is covered.
Bike damage from a car accident while being transported: Your homeowners, renters, or condo policy may cover your bike up to the limits of your policy. That includes situations where your bike is attached to a bike rack or mounted on your car.
You crash your bike: If your bike is damaged because you fell off it or collided with a tree, pedestrian, curb, etc., it won't be covered by your home, renters, or condo insurer unless you added it separately to your policy. This is very easy to do, and is simply called scheduling your bike as an individual item on your policy. Some insurers, specifically renters insurers, may not allow you to schedule your bike.
A driver crashes into your bike: If you're riding your bike and involved in an accident where the other party is at fault (e.g., they crash into you), their auto insurance policy covers the damage. If the at-fault driver is uninsured, then you'll want to file a claim on your homeowners, renters, or condo policy.
If you're injured in a bike accident, your health insurance will likely provide medical coverage. But your auto insurance may also cover your hospital bills, suffering, and lost wages. If you have personal injury protection or medical payments coverage (which can be optional coverages), your injuries will be covered. As with any auto insurance claim, you're covered up to the specified limits of your coverage, and a deductible may apply. Remember, if you're involved in an accident that isn't your fault, then the at-fault party's insurance should cover your bike and injuries. If the at-fault driver has no insurance, then the uninsured motorist insurance on your auto policy will kick in if you have that coverage.
It's true that bicyclists usually bear the brunt of any collision, but it's possible for you to cause property damage or even injure or kill someone else while riding your bike. In those rare cases, the liability limits on your homeowners, renters, or condo policy will generally cover you if the accident was your fault.
To insure your bicycle, just get a homeowners, renters or condo insurance quote online or call 866-749-7436 to speak to an expert insurance rep.
When should I purchase separate insurance for my bike?
If you have an expensive bike, you may not receive the replacement value you're looking for, as most insurers have limits on home, condo, and renters policies. For example, at ASI, one of the insurers in Progressive's network and part of our family of companies, the limit on bicycles is $1,500. So if your bike is worth considerably more than that, you may want to purchase specialty bike insurance to keep it fully protected. Or, if you don't want to manage two separate policies, just schedule it as an individual item on your homeowners policy.
Also, a deductible will apply to property damage on your home, renters, or condo policy. Keep in mind, insurers only pay out for damages above your deductible. So, if your deductible is $1,000 and your bike is worth less than that, your claim is nullified.

How seriously does the degree of trust in basic social and political institutions for people from different countries depend on their individual characteristics? To answer this question, three types of models have been estimated using the data of the fifth wave of the World Value Survey: the first one based on the assumption about a generalized relationship for all countries, the second one taking into account heterogeneity of countries (using introduction of the country-level variables), the third type applying a preliminary subdivision of countries into five clusters. The obtained results have been used for suggestion of possible actions to increase public confidence in the basic institutions.

The 5,000 square foot store, at the southeast corner of Preston Road and Royal Lane, carries 12,000+ titles in a variety of categories, with a focus on fiction, children's books, and creative non-fiction.
The store features a flexible event space with seating for up to 100 people for book signings and a children's stage for weekly storytimes and other programs.
The name Interabang Books comes from an old printmaker's term. The interabang is a punctuation mark that combines a question mark and an exclamation point in a single symbol. When we were discussing our vision for the store, 'discovery' and 'excitement' were words that came up again and again. The interabang symbol exemplified our essential idea and captured our imaginations.

Re: "Dead wrong," July 4.
The letter writer is "dead wrong" referencing the June 26 article "Protesters in Redlands."
It's not the first time the letter writer has lashed out at America: democracy in America, the American culture, and most of all, we the people.
His racist, immoral political attack on First Amendment rights in America is beyond the pale of contentious hate speech and beyond the pale of political, social, economic attack – and even represents a form of cultural terrorism.
His commentary regarding an American flag rally held in front of Congressman Jerry Lewis' office in the city of Redlands on June 25 is dead wrong. Our message that day – Stop illegal immigration, hire Americans – represents the voice, the will and the mandate of we the people. Alive and well. And morally righteous.
We met with Congressman Lewis' staff that morning, as per our scheduled appointment – democracy in action. Congressman Lewis' staff members were elated that morning with a press release being celebrated during our meeting. The congressman's staff informed his American-born constituents of legislation spearheaded by Lewis to enhance border security by increasing the number of U.S. Border Patrol agents.
Congressman Lewis is a strong supporter of the republican form of self-government. They believe in the power of constraint and incarceration, the rule of law and that which fosters and renders democracy upon the Commonwealth: America. Democracy of we the people.
I do not stand alone on this issue – illegal aliens on American soil. Moral Americans oppose illegal aliens on U.S. soil, illegal alien sympathizers, corporate America, American employers and immoral, corrupt elected senators, House members and President Obama for not enforcing U.S. immigration laws.

Nearly 40% of residents in Delaware County have gotten their first COVID-19 vaccine dose
Corey Ohlenkamp
Muncie Star Press
MUNCIE, Ind. — Vaccination efforts across Delaware County are going well as the county draws closer to nearly half of all residents getting one of three available vaccines against COVID-19, though there is still a long way to go.
Here is what we know currently about vaccination efforts within Delaware County.
As of Thursday the Indiana State Department of Health reported that 37,364 Delaware County residents, nearly 40% of the county's overall population, have gotten at least their first dose of the vaccine. The state average for first dose of the vaccine is a little over 42%.
The county reported up to 546 new vaccine doses administered within the past 24 hours as of Thursday afternoon, with long-term data showing that the county has kept a consistent seven day average on distribution of doses.
►STAY INFORMED AND SUPPORT LOCAL JOURNALISM: Subscribe today using the link at the top of this page.
The seven-day average is down from a peak at the beginning of the month when vaccine availability opened up to everyone over the age of 16, though no serious drops have been reported yet.
Over 68,615 doses of vaccine have been administered countywide.
Of the county's 95,921 eligible residents, 31,251 are now fully vaccinated. That number, while promising, is still a far way from where it needs to be for herd immunity, however, and Delaware County is actually behind the curve on those fully vaccinated.
Some counties, including Hamilton County, are showing fully vaccinated rates of 45.9% compared to Delaware's 32.6%.
Rising vaccine numbers are still a good sign as Indiana reported 716,306 total cases of coronavirus, an increase of 1% from the week before.
There is concern from medical officials over the population's vaccine hesitancy in the coming weeks. Those who don't want to get the vaccine might derail plans for reaching herd immunity levels.

Statewide data showed more than 1,840,000 residents were fully vaccinated as of Thursday, which is roughly 34% of the state's population over the age of 16.
For many age groups within the state, however, it's nowhere near herd immunity status. Experts have said that the threshold for that is around 60-70% of the population gaining immunity.
Data from the ISDH shows that significant parts of the state's population have yet to get fully vaccinated. Here is a breakdown of the different age groups and how many have been fully vaccinated in Indiana:
16-19: 5.1%
20-24: 11.3%
25-29: 12%
80+: 69.3%
To schedule a vaccine appointment at one of the hundreds of sites around the state, visit ourshot.in.gov or call 211. All residents over the age of 16 are now eligible for the vaccine.

Kansas sees 240,000 mail-in ballot requests, more than ever before
by: Korinne Griffith, Kansas Capitol Bureau
Posted: Jul 10, 2020 / 04:34 PM CDT / Updated: Jul 13, 2020 / 08:38 AM CDT
TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNW) – With coronavirus cases on the rise in Kansas and the primary election just around the corner, things will likely look very different at the polls this year. But that shouldn't stop you from voting.
We are less than a month away from the August 4 primary election in Kansas. However, there are only days left to register to vote.
The deadline to register is midnight on Tuesday, July 14, 2020. To register, you have a couple options:
Go to the Kansas Secretary of State website where you can download the voter registration application (in English or Spanish) or you can find the link to register online.
Contact your local election office. They may also have an option to register online or will get you a paper application.
Secretary of State Scott Schwab, does not recommend using third-party websites to register.
"Sometimes they don't have all the correct information for folks to supply us," explained Schwab. "So the best thing to do is go to our website."
Remember, voter registration must be submitted by July 14, so if you print out an application, you must get it to your election office before they close on Tuesday.
The primary election ballots are sent out based on political party affiliation, which you choose when you register to vote. This means, if you register as a democrat you will receive a ballot with only the democratic candidates, and the same goes for the republicans. For those already registered, the deadline to change your party affiliation has passed, but for unaffiliated voters you must choose to receive either a democrat or republican ballot.
If you want to avoid potential crowds at the polls, you can request a mail-in ballot. Some counties in Kansas are sending advanced voting/mail-in applications to all registered voters, for both the primary and general elections. But you can also get the application from your local election office. Contact the office for the best way to get the application.
According to Secretary Schwab, Kansas is already seeing a major mail-in ballot voter turnout.
"Right now, we're up to over 240,000 requests for mail-in ballots," said Schwab. "To put that in perspective, in 2018, which was one of the largest elections participated in state history, we had 51,000."
If you choose to vote by mail-in ballot, Secretary Schwab says it's very important to sign the outside of your ballot envelope. Election workers will compare your signature on the ballot to your signature on the voter registration to make sure you were the one filling out the ballot.
"We train those clerks with the FBI and the KBI's course study on how to match signatures," explained Schwab. "To make sure that it wasn't a fraudulent ballot."
Schwab also recommends turning in your mail-in ballot in person, if possible. That way there's no chance of it getting lost in the mail. Schwab says most county election offices have a dropbox for ballots.
Of course, if you would prefer to vote in-person, that option is still available. Kansas received $4.6 million in federal funding under the CARES Act, Help America Vote Act (HAVA), $2.6 million has been distributed to counties to be used for keeping polling locations safe during the coronavirus pandemic. This includes plexiglass shields, face masks for workers, hand sanitizer, cleaning supplies and disposable stylus pens.
But, for counties across the state, there is an urgent need for election poll workers. Secretary Schwab explained most poll workers are elderly and are therefore more likely to contract a severe case of the coronavirus. Because of this, they are choosing not to work this year. Counties are looking to young people to help fill in.
"They always say, 'I'm just a teenager, I don't know, what can I do to make a difference?' Well the biggest thing they can do is work at a poll because we need that young population," said Schwab.
Kansas poll workers are paid and are typically required to work at least a half-day shift. You must be at least 16 years old to be a poll worker. Contact your local election office for more information.

January 27, 2016 /0 Comments/in Newsletter/by Darren
Stay warm, sick monkey.
Just finally starting to get over this nasty-ass flu virus bacterial infection garbage illness. I've been sick as a monkey for over a week now. It's been terrible – I felt as if my head were full of cement and snapping turtles and my body was riddled with scratchy insulation mixed with electric eels and swamp juice. Fever, itchy skin, sore teeth and hair, insomnia, mouth lesions, dizziness, uncontrollable swearing all manifested themselves in my body over the last week. I self-diagnosed either Ebola, Haunta Virus or the Black Death. Swanson, my 10 year-old cheerfully chimed in with "Maybe it's cancer, Dad?!" I finally got in to see the doctor and got on some antibiotics so in a few days I should be right as rain. It's a wonder we're all not dead.
Burnt – Bradley Cooper is a cooking guy who self destructs via drugs and some questionable behaviour. But just when you thinks he's done like dinner, he bounces back and opens a new restaurant in London towne. For people who like to eat and look at nice food.
Difret – Heavy duty drama about a young girl living in Ethiopia who suffers in an arranged marriage. She ends up shooting her would-be husband and must stand to defend herself. Just because something is a tradition doesn't mean it should still exist.
Downton Abbey S 6 – More hoity-toity shenanigans in the huge mansion. I think that this may be the last season. That'll do, Downton Abbey, that'll do.
Effie Gray – Oh the British scandals keep on coming. Love triangle between a Victorian art critic, the teenage Effie and a painter with three names. Scandal and hushed whispers, I presume, ensue.
Freeheld – Julianne Moore is dying once again. This time she's fighting the system with her partner, Ellen Page, to secure benefits before she kicks off. Steve Carrell and Michael Shannon are along for the good times.
Goosebumps – Fine frightening family fare finds famed author RL Stine's imaginary monsters escaping from somewhere to terrorize a small town. Much hijinks ensue.
Heist – Dad can't afford his daughter's medical treatment so he does what every good dad would do, he robs a casino. Things don't go as planeed, because they never do, and he's then forced to hijack a bus. Another straight to video flick starring good old Robert DeNiro.
Hyena Road – Canadian war drama from Paul Gross about the ups and downs (mostly downs, I assume) of the war in Afghanistan.
Meet the Patels – Funny doc about a 30-year-old Indian-American fella whose family are keen on helping him find a bride in the traditional Indian way. Much hilarity, I presume, ensues.
The Prophet – Animated tale of exiled poet and artist Mustafa as he takes a perilous journey home with his housekeeper and her daughter. Looks pretty amazing.
Last Witch Hunter – Noted thespian Vin Diesel is the title witchunter who must hunt some nasty witches before they can unleashing their witching powers. Not a documentary.
Learning to Drive – Ben Kingsley teaches Patricia Clarkson how to drive and to navigate life's hills and curves. And how to properly eat a popsicle.
Luther S 4 – Hunky dreamy Idris Elba is the famed surly detective who goes about detecting crimes in old London towne. Still haven't seen this show. Heard nothing but swell things.
Truth – Robert Redford is Dan Rather in this dramatic drama about CBS news and their 2004 investigation into George Bush's military service, or lack thereof, and how it cost Dan and his producer Marla Maples, their careers.
Wannabe – Aspiring mob fella wants to rise in the ranks of the mobby world so he attempts to fix the trial of John Gotti to win some brownie points. I wonder if everything goes as planned?

My Internship in Canada
We have a special guest star reviewer this week! Aaron, who rents over yonder at Cambie Street want to tell you about a nice movie that he liked…
I saw My Internship in Canada at a film festival. It's a hilarious comedy, but the movie has almost nothing to do with declaring war or the balance in parliament etc. Those things just set the stage.
A political intern from Haiti is assigned to a Quebec MP, and they decide to consult their constituents about whether to vote for war. But local issues and personalities are much more important. Roads are blocked and unblocked because of pay scales, meetings are stacked and unstacked. All sorts of personalities grope for what they want and need. The competing interests range from First Nations to loggers to truckers to mayors of small towns. Everything is presented very low-key, and the audience was laughing itself silly by the end.
Altogether, the film was a great surprise and a real gem.
Cool beans. See ya next week.

Just a friendly heads up notification ~ we only have one hoodie left at each location for you to adorn your beautiful body with. Only $29.99. Be the coolest kid in school. First come first serve. Lots of T-shirts are still up for grabs. See you soon!
Deathgasm – Awesome horror-comedy finds two heavy metal dudes fighting an ancient evil known as Aeloth the Blind One who wants to rip apart the very fabric of reality. Whatever that is. Along the way they have to deal with family members, friends and neighbours who have been possessed and have turned into psychotic murderers. Includes not one, but two deaths by giant dildo. Good fun!
Diary of a Teenage Girl – Great coming of age drama/comedy finds a teenage girl having an affair with her mom's boyfriend. Yikes! This one showed up on a lot of best of the year lists. So there's that.
Dragon Blade – Strange-looking (why the long faces, everyone?) historical epic finds Oscar-winner Adrian Brody (whatever happened to that guy?) and his big army (not an euphemism for anything) attempting to take over the Silk Road in China. Jackie Chan and, for some reason, John Cusack stand in his way. You read all of that right.
Experimenter – Fine drama about Stanley Milgard (Peter Sarsgaard – kinda rhymes) who was that dude who designed the experiment in which one person was to administer an electric shock to another poor bastard in a different room. The experiment was to see if folks would continue to shock the monkey if told to do so. Make a good double bill with Stanford Prison Experiment.
Everest – Bunch of manly men – The Gyllenhaal, Brolin, Clarke, Hawkes and others – decide to climb Mt. Everest for some stupid reason. It doesn't go well. Based on true events. I've never seen the appeal in doing such a crazy thing. But then I'm afraid of everything.
The Intern – Lame-looking comedy finds Robert DeNiro (I want the Taxi Driver Robert DeNiro back, not this lame, milquetoast, awe-shucks Robert DeNiro) going to work as a senior (no kidding) intern for an online fashion start-up headed by Anne Hathaway and all of her perfect teeth. Do you think that the old dog teaches the youngin' a trick or two? Sigh.
My Internship in Canada – Canadian comedy from the great province of Quebec finds an MP who, for some reason, holds the deciding vote on whether or not Canada will go to war. With whom, I'm not too sure. I hope it's Iceland. We'd kick their asses!
The Look of Silence – Another excellent doc (Oscar nominated!) from that guy who made Act of Killing. This is kinda like an extension of that film as it follows an optometrist in Indonesia who tracks down and confronts the maniacs who murdered his brother. A very dangerous thing to do as these awful people are still in power. I spent 2 months in Indonesia last year and it's such a lovely country and the people so nice it's hard to imagine the horrors that befell this place all those years ago and that the pricks who did the killing still have never been prosecuted.
Stanford Prison Experiment – Drama thriller about that notorious experiment back in the day where some volunteers were divided up into "guards" and "cons" to see what would happen. I guess the guards, drunk and insane with power didn't treat the cons all that well. Go figure. Make a good double bill with Experimenter.
Stonewall – Lame (from what I've heard and read and heard) retelling of the famous Stonewall incident in 1969 (cops busted a gay club because they were gay and the cops were dicks) and how that lead to the rise of Gay Rights across the land. Directed, for some reason, by Roland Emmerich (Day After Tomorrow).
Straight Outta Compton – Excellent drama-rama chronicling (get it, chronic?) the rise of N.W.A, described as "The most dangerous band in the world". Guess they never heard of Menudo.
This Changes Everything – Great, important doc follows the amazing Naomi Klein as she tries to save the world from climate change which, of course, will kill us all. Come on people, get out of your cars and off your tanning beds! Let's save the world! At Cambie, soon to Commercial – my boneheaded distributor sent me something called Arthur and Merlin in place of these. I guess they're kind of similar.

The Man Who Fell to Earth.
One of the worst things about getting older (I have a laundry list of things I hate about getting older) is people are always dying. Friends, co-workers, neighbours, neighbour's dogs and people you don't know on a personal basis but that you grew up with. Read more…
We will be closing early this coming Sunday (17th) for a well-deserved staff party. Get in before 9pm to get what you need!
Beeba Boys – Locally shot gangster epic, directed by Deepa Mehta, tells the gangster tale of a guy who wants to take on the local, and I do mean local as it's also set in Vancouver, crime kingpin and get all of his gangster related riches.
Hotel Transylvania 2 – More monster hijinks as Dracula and his pals go about their monster business.
Irrational Man – Last year's Woody Allen film find a neurotic (no!) and tormented philosophy professor finding the will to live after he commits some sort of existential act. I'm not even sure what that means. Anyways, I think it's always a good thing to have a new Woody Allen film. Life is short. Not as short as Woody Allen, but still short.
Life – Sparkly vampire (Robert Pattinson) who works as a photographer for Life magazine is assigned to take some shots of an up-and-coming actor who goes by the name of James Dean. Sounds intriguing (no actual vampires appear in this film). Directed by Anton Corbijn (Control).
The Martian – MATT DAMON is stranded on Mars and has to eat his own poop. Or something like that. For some reason this won best comedy at this years Golden Globes. Good stuff.
Mr. Robot S1 – Excellent, weird TV series (also a Glorbin Glob winner) about a junkie computer nerd/genius who stumbles on a secret anarchist society bent on taking down the man! Pretty fun series that you should be watching.
Sherlock: The Abominable Bride – The famed detectives look to solve the case of The Abominable Bride! Whatever that is. Yeti Bride? Why would anyone marry someone who is abominable? Or a Yeti?
Sinister 2 – More sinister doings are afoot when a young family with twins (always a bad sign) move into a house that's been marked by death. That's got to wreak havoc with the property values.

Goodbye, Mr. Bowie.
January 12, 2016 /0 Comments/in Black Dog Blog/by Darren
One of the worst things about getting older (I have a laundry list of things I hate about getting older) is people are always dying. Friends, co-workers, neighbours, neighbour's dogs and people you don't know on a personal basis but that you grew up with. They were always there. There was some sort of comfort in that. Of course I'm talking about the passing of David Bowie. I was never a huge Bowie fan but I liked much of his music and I always thought of him as an interesting, dynamic, cool, classy and brilliant man. His was one of the first music videos I remember seeing. I think it was Ashes to Ashes. I remember it being weird, I didn't particularly like the song, but I liked him and all of the odd imagery. Funny, I can still picture much of it in my brains. He also managed to write one of my favourite songs of all time – Heroes. Might seem a little cliche but the line "we can be heroes, just for one day" has always stayed with me. I find that line quite inspiring but also profoundly sad. It's perfect.
Bowie wasn't just a great, original musician, he had quite a distinguished film career as well. He sought out intelligent, odd and interesting parts such as the freaky alien guy in Man Who Fell to Earth, the freaky vampire in The Hunger, the freaky goblin king in Labyrinth, Nicholas Tesla (bit of a freak) in The Prestige, Andy Warhol (big time freak) in Basquiet and the POW in Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. All cool. And he could do comedy. Check out this great scene from the Ricky Gervias show Extras. Brilliant.
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xnleeu_extras-david-bowie_shortfilms
Somewhere there's a band, perhaps the weirdest band ever, being assembled – Bowie on lead vocals, Lemmy on bass, John Bradbury from the Specials on drums. Angus Scrimm (the Tall Man from the Phantasm series) can be the manager. I guess we just need a lead guitarist. There's lots of ageing rockers out there.
I'll leave you, not with a clip of Mr. Bowie himself, but with a song of his used to great effect (much great Bowie music can be found in many films – one of my favourites was the Portuguese covers in A Life Aquatic. What's yours?) in one of my favourite films of the last few years, Frances Ha. It just exemplifies the feeling of being young and free and alive. Much joy is to found here. You will be missed, David Bowie. But I'm glad that you were here with us for a while.

Black Dog Newsletter January 4 to 10th "Fleshy Book Edition"
January 5, 2016 /0 Comments/in Black Dog Blog/by Darren
"I'll Eat Your Soul! But I can't digest it as I'm just a fake book!"
Fleshy Book Edition?! What on earth is that young fella talking about, you ask yourself. Well let me tell you, we recently bought a pile of DVDs and Blu Rays from a lovely young man and included was a Special Edition of the original Evil Dead flick. The "special" thing about it was it comes ensconced in the Necronomicom – the book made of human flesh – that, when one reads certain passages from it, unleashes a nasty demon into our world! Intrigued? I bet. We have put it up for sale at the Commercial Drive location for a mere $45! Where else can you find such a book made out of humans for such a low price? First come, first served. (Only $1 to touch it's fleshy grossness!)
It's my turn to inflict upon you fine people my picks for best and the worst of what 2015 had to offer in the realm of film. Click on this nice button here for the best, and here for the worst. Enjoy responsibly.
American Dreamer – Documentary originally made in 1971 lets you to hang out with a young and rebellious Dennis Hopper as he puts together he latest film, The Last Movie and walks around with a large gun.
Ashby – Young guy, wants to know more about growing up, befriends his neighbour and Arby's mystery-meat sandwich impersonator, Mickey Rourke, who's also an ex-CIA assassin and who's also dying. Life lessons (one of which is not too much plastic surgery, please) abound.
Bone Tomahawk – Crazy, hyper-violent western of sorts finds a bunch of manly men – Kurt Russell, Patrick Wilson, Matthew Fox – setting out to rescue some folks who've been taken captive by some cave-dwelling cannibals. To me, this film has everything I want in a movie – tough guys, moustaches, horses, and cannibals. Can't wait to see it (I hear it's pretty damn good).
Captive – Drug-mom is taken hostage by a judge-murdering fella who's on the lam. Much drama and soul searching, I presume, ensues. Personally I can't stand hostage dramas. I don't know why but I hate them. But don't let my weird hangups stop you from checking this out.
The Green Inferno – Another Eli Roth flick (Knock Knock) splatters across your TV. Some student activists travel to South America to save the rainforest only to be taken captive by a bunch of forest-dwelling cannibals. I sense a theme in this week's releases!
The Falling – Is there anything more terrifying in movies than boarding schools? Even without any cannibals around this one sounds pretty intriguing. A girl's boarding school in 1969 England is the setting for some mysterious happenings as girls start having fainting spells after some sort of tragedy. Stars that girl with the pointy sword from Game of Thrones.
Heaven Knows What – Well reviewed heavy duty drama about the ups and (mostly) downs of a couple of junkies in New York City. Don't do drugs kids! Stay in school! Don't eat people!
Memories of the Sword – Fun, stylish Korean flick set in olde tymes where revenging is the order of the day. Aren't all sword epics about some sort of revenge? I'm OK with that.
Over Your Dead Body – Reality and fiction intertwine as some stage actors take their passions into their bedrooms where things don't go as one might think they do. Or maybe they do go as one might think they do as this is a Takeshi Mikke (Audition) film.
Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension – I don't even know what number this is in the series but from what I've heard it's the worst one yet. I used to like these films – the first 3 are pretty damn fine – but it's like beating a dead horse that's been sitting in your backyard for most of the summer and then one of your neighbours calls the cops and you get arrested and then upon release you seek out revenge on that neighbour and the next thing you know…cannibalism! Ahem…
Second Mother – Excellent film from Brazil about a housekeeper who's estranged daughter comes to live with her. Much drama, hilarity, life lessons, class divides and maybe (hopefully) a smattering of cannibalism, I presume, ensue.
Tokyo Tribe – Crazy fun trip from Sion Sono (Why Don't You Play in Hell?), who seems to be giving Miike a run for his money in the prolific department, about an alternate reality Japan where gangs rule the streets and fight it out via epic rap battles! Sounds pretty alright to me.
True Detective Season 2 – New cast! New crimes! New moustaches! (Should be showing up on the shelves sometime today (Tuesday).

Q: How to pass arguments from main.py to a page in plotly? I have a page in plotly which has a call back like this -
@dash.callback(
    Output("graph", "figure"),
    Input("checklist", "value"))
def update_line_chart(checklist):
    log = logparser.parse("D:\\Path\\openFoamParser\\simplefoam.log")
    data_pd_coeffs = log.getAbitrarySeriesCombination(**{"Cm": None, "Cd": None, "Cl": None, "Cl(f)": None, "Cl(r)": None})

    graph_params = {"yaxis_title": "Coeff - value", "xaxis_title": "Iterations", "width": 2000, "height": 800, "title": "Force Coeff Vs. Iterations"}
    fig = plotter.subPlot(1, 1, [(data_pd_coeffs, (1, 1))], graph_params)
    fig.for_each_xaxis(lambda axis: axis.title.update(font=dict(color='black', size=18)))
    fig.for_each_yaxis(lambda axis: axis.title.update(font=dict(color='black', size=18)))
    return fig

And I have a main.py where
if __name__ == '__main__':
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    parser.add_argument("-f", help="path to openfoam file")
    args = parser.parse_args()
    main(args)

Is there any way to pass these args in my main to my pages? I don't want to hardcode the paths in the plotly dash page.

The ANOVA Institute for Regenerative Medicine has opened its doors in Frankfurt, Germany offering a groundbreaking new treatment option to patients worldwide. For a significant amount of conditions and diseases, the medical industry has a very limited arsenal of medications that usually target the symptoms, at best. This can be seen across orthopedic problems like osteoarthritis or cartilage-related damage but also for severe neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease or ALS. No medication-based treatments are designed or able to target the disease itself on a cellular level, where they begin, and therefore also lack the ability to deliver lasting results.
However, a new chapter of treatment has now begun at the ANOVA Institute for Regenerative Medicine in Germany with Stem Cells and their secretome set to have a lasting impact on how these degenerative diseases are treated.
Behind the Science
Stem Cell therapies have long been thought to have huge therapeutic potential. Stem Cells, as our bodies own building blocks, have an enormous potential for regeneration but also immune modulation for diseases where the immune system starts to malfunction, like in the case of many auto immune or chronic inflammatory diseases.
There are several thousand clinical trials which involve stem cells in one way or another. Many of these ongoing clinical trials and stem cell research is based on autologous (patient's own) Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). These type of stem cells are relatively easy to obtain from a patient via bone marrow blood or fat tissue and have been shown to hold vast healing potential. However, the results from the past were not always that significant as it appeared that in some cases the MSCs were inactive.
More than a decade passed until around 2010 the importance of the so called extracellular vesicles became clear. Most of the stem cell therapeutic activity is actually from what the stem cells secrete, not from the stem cell growing in the body and replacing damaged tissue, as originally anticipated. The Stem Cell Secretome consists of tiny "communication vesicles" (soluble paracrine factors) that interact with surrounding (stem) cells. Healthy Mesenchymal Stem Cells do this intensively with signals that have almost exclusively "positive" effects on surrounding cells and subsequently exert these effects on the local tissue environment and the whole immune system, in parallel. The properties of the secreted factors are anti-inflammatory, neuro- and- angiotrophic, immunomodulatory, anti-apoptotic, neuroprotective and anti-oxidatory. "There is no drug in the world which even remotely offers all these positive properties with a near-zero side effect profile."- says Prof. Stehling, founder, director and visionary of the stem cell center.
The scientific research of these extracellular vesicles exploded from the moment when the enormous regenerative potential of micro-RNA packed exosomes, microvesicles, chemo- and- cytokines (that stem cells produce), was discovered. A new class of stem cell therapeutics was born through the utilization of stem cells as a "factory" to produce these healing properties in highly concentrated and controlled fashion, for a more potent medication, as opposed to "traditional" direct injection of stem cells in hopes that they would secrete some of these substances and stimulate repair and regeneration.
The ANOVA Institute for Regenerative Medicine is the first commercial center to have developed such a method and successfully applied it for the treatment of numerous diseases. "Stem Cell Secretome therapy fundamentally changes stem cell therapy in medicine, in general. Not only it has allowed us to create high doses of these essential factors from stem cells and to have a much higher level of control on what we actually inject patients with, but it has also allowed us, for the first time, to tailor the therapy for results. Subsequently, it has allowed us to design a therapy plan with many injections over a long period of time, a point that was often criticized when stem cells were used for the treatment of chronic or degenerative conditions. A single injection can only help for a certain time."- says Dr. Atta, chief physician in the ANOVA Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
"Another factor which is fundamental to why we think the therapy is ready for human application, is its patient safety profile. Stem Cell therapies, while relatively safe as compared to most pharmaceutical therapies, hold some intrinsic safety risks, which is one of the reasons why they are not yet standardized and heavily regulated. All of these safety risks can be thankfully excluded with the stem cell secretome. Essentially, we have the concentrated effect without the risk."
While clinical results will take some years to be conducted, stem cell-based therapies hold huge potential for treating all diseases where stem cells are currently applied.
ANOVA is currently conducting evidence-based research in cooperation with Prof. Bonnetti, University of Verona, who does the pre- and post assessment of patients with ALS, an absolutely devastating disease. In the absence of public funding, the clinic is currently treating these patients for pure material costs, in order to understand as quickly as possible of how this treatment can help them. ANOVA reports promising preliminary results of the secretome treatment. The same can be said about their treatment of Parkinson's patients which also showed initial encouraging results, paving the way for an increased treatment frequency.
The benefits also extend into less devastating but nonetheless important conditions in the sporting field. With orthopedic problems like osteoarthritis or cartilage-related damage on the rise, ANOVA has already treated several top level professional athletes from both NHL and NFL, all with reassuring results and all of them regularly returning for treatments.
Another extremely interesting and promising property of the stem cell secretome is that it appears to have a temporal reversing effect on some of the fundamental aging mechanisms of cellular aging which is why it is also of highest interest to the cosmetic industry.
Proven Track Record
Under the strategic leadership of Prof. Dr. Stehling, the ANOVA Institute for Regenerative Medicine employs a multi-disciplinary team of experts from all over the world to provide patients with the best diagnostics and care, influenced by the latest developments in research. The private clinic already has a 10 year track record of excellence in diagnostics, interventional radiology and translational medicine offering state of the art diagnostics. With the addition of the ANOVA Institute for Regenerative Medicine it has become an institution almost symbolic for the excellence of applied stem cell therapies.
The ANOVA Institute for Regenerative Medicine is located in at Strahlenberger Str. 110, Frankfurt/Offenbach, Germany, approximately 15 minutes from the Airport. More information can be found at https://anova-irm.com/ or by calling +49 69 50 50 00 944.

Stem Cell Secretome for the treatment of ED: A success story
How well does stem cell therapy for erectile dysfunction work? Are clinical results available, and if so, what do they show? In this article, we share some research insights on stem cell therapy for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, and talk about a success story of one of our patients who was treated for ED at ANOVA Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
Can stem cell therapy cure erectile dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, affects nearly half of all men between the ages of 40 and 70 in one way or another. ED is defined as a disease which makes it impossible for a man to have a sufficient erection for sexual intercourse. Naturally, sexual dysfunctions are accompanied with a lot of stress for patients and their partners. In this article, we summarize the causes of ED, common treatments, and how stem cells can help treat the disease in a promising way.

The University of Maryland and Terrapin Development Company are partnering with a Philadelphia-based developer to build a new, mixed-use development complex in College Park.
The $300 million project — called Parcels B&C — will stretch across five acres in the Discovery District near The Hotel and the intersection of Campus Drive and Route 1.
"This development will be transformational for the city, county and state," Ken Ulman, Terrapin Development Company president, said in a news release. "This new project within our Discovery District will continue to grow the University of Maryland's position as an economic driver by bringing in thousands of additional jobs to our community, as well as creating a dynamic, place based development to serve as a gathering spot for the local community."
Parcels B&C will house between 200 and 250 multifamily residential units and 550,000 square feet of workspaces, including for research, offices and retail space, according to a news release.
[After merger, College Park startup IonQ plans to go public with $2 billion valuation]
"Together, we will grow our ecosystem for innovation and technology that creates a lasting impact for the university's students, faculty, staff and neighbors," said university President Darryll Pines in a news release.
The project will create a neighborhood of vibrant spaces and deliver value to the university and business stakeholders, said Jerry Sweeney, president and CEO of Brandywine Realty Trust, the project's developer, in a news release.
"The Discovery District will deliver an unmatched convergence of talent, transit, and amplify the visionary spirit that will be the foundation for a world-class innovation ecosystem," Sweeney said.

Q: Reason for this error during OPENCV haar training? OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (rect.width >= 0 && rect.height >= 0 && rect.x <
image->width && rect.y < image->height && rect.x + rect.width >= (int)(rect.widt
h > 0) && rect.y + rect.height >= (int)(rect.height > 0)) in unknown function, f
ile c:\Users\vp\work\ocv\opencv\modules\core\src\array.cpp, line 3006

I get this error when I do sampling of the positive images. I have a total of 1200 positive samples.
In many places it mentioned that the dimensions being passed to CvSetImageROI() are greater than the maximum dimension allowed.
I am using a web cam that produces images with dimensions of 640x480.
Code for Sampling:
opencv_createsamples.exe -info lent.txt -vec vec\Samples.vec -w 24 -h 24
Other thing that I did was changing the dimensions of the samples to 30x32/30x30/32x32 and many,but the error persists.
What do I do now ?
NB: This could be a possible duplicate question, but the previous ones did not help me.
Please help!

A: There was some error in saving the ROI of the images. The first image could not satisfy the dimensions and hence it raised the error!
I have solved that error!

Impact Climate Awareness and Action
How can we help people become more aware of climate action and adopt sustainable behavior?
When sustainability is taken into account, not every action carries the same weight. How can we motivate people to adopt a new, sustainable lifestyle and act in meaningful ways in their everyday lives in order to address the main causes of climate change?
Challenge description
If you can see it, you can be it...but too often, people simply don't know what they don't know. Education is a critical starting point from which we can begin to implement change in the world.
If we want to stop climate change's most dangerous effects, we need to start making education on it compelling, engaging, and actionable so that people adopt better habits and become the change they wish to see!
Challenge vision
We need to explore new ways to convey the complexity and the interdisciplinary nature of climate action and sustainability to more diverse communities and youth groups, whose desire for concrete action to stop climate change is often neglected by adults who sometimes don't have the necessary means to keep themselves updated or informed on the matter, themselves.
We need new innovative projects for diverse populations and generations concerning sustainability, that also align with the SDGs of the UN Agenda2030.
What are some successful sustainability+educational projects that we can we implement to involve childrens' parents and relatives, storekeepers and retailers, businesses and organizations in this ecological transition?
How can we promote behavioral change in people's daily lives and provide them with new insights and approaches to successfully engage them in better habits?
How can we offer people correct data and show them the most effective tools to reduce personal, national, and global carbon emissions? How can we equip them with the ability and responsibility to know the costs of their lifestyle and make better decisions for themselves and the future of their children?
Finally, how can we foster cultural change? How can we integrate environmental education with social justice, human rights, and holistic well-being? How can we shift our communities towards more sustainable paradigms?
Join us at Climathon 2019: Together, we can make Houston and the world a better place to live!
