DR. J. IRVING BEATTIE
Surnames: SAXE, MAYER
DR. J. IRVING BEATTIE.--Prominent and successful from the very beginning of his practice as a physician and surgeon, Dr. J. Irving Beattie has become pre-eminent among the leading medical men of Santa Clara County and is today rightly regarded as one of the first citizens of Santa Clara, in which city he has his residence and office at 1075 Benton Street. He was born in the province of Ontario, Canada, on June 1, 1883, and came to California as a young man of seventeen.
When properly prepared for special work, he entered the Cooper Medical College at San Francisco, from which he was graduated with honors in 1905; and then he traveled in Europe and for a year worked in the London Hospital. On his return to America, he spent a year at the French Hospital at San Francisco.
In 1907 he located at Santa Clara, and on the first of the year opened an office as the third doctor at the corner of Main and Benton Streets, which for decades has been the Mecca for thousands of sufferers, succeeding to the office of his uncle, Dr. D. A. Beattie, now located in San Jose, who in turn succeeded Dr. Saxe, an early and noted practitioner at Santa Clara. Dr. Beattie's success may be in part estimated from the constant attendance of patients during the afternoon hours when he is available for office consultation. The mornings are devoted to surgical operations at the hospital, and to visiting those in distress at their own homes.
On January 12, 1907, Dr. Beattie was married to Miss Hilda Mayer, a native of San Francisco and the daughter of Charles Mayer, Jr., of the Bay metropolis. She is a graduate of the University of California, having finished her studies with the class of 1906; and she has been of inestimable service to her husband in his constantly increasing practice. Two children have blessed this union, Hermione and Yvonne. As public-spirited as he is genial, Dr. Beattie joined the ranks of the Americans in the World War and in 1918 went to Fort Riley, where he served as lieutenant until three months after the signing of the armistice.

Clear and Sincere, Any Dumb Animal Proves a Comfort
Any Dumb Animal, AE Hines' debut collection of poetry, recounts a lifetime of intimate experiences: a traumatic childhood, divorce, parenting, and love found later in life, in addition to relating to moments of great historical significance on a personal level. The volume opens like a shot, the first poem, "Phone Call," detailing both his coming out and his struggles with an unfaithful partner, jarring the heart with an immediate plea for understanding.
Poem by poem, Hines reveals his tender and often painful memories, inviting the reader to feel alongside him—outrage, regret, love. He crafts arresting images and manages to carve beauty out of suffering and agony, rendering the critical moments in his life, both big and small, with the same attention to detail. Taking the smallest of ideas, like the difficulty in dividing a comingled drawer of patterned socks, as in "Gay Divorce," where he uses that to represent the entirety of losing a marriage, decades' worth of partnership. There are echoes of his earlier memories in the later poems, repetitive motions, like the juxtaposition of his helpless mother "running back and forth along the pier" in "How We Learn" in the same way the author "…couldn't stop myself from running / down the long white ward / out into the night" as he leaves his mother in "The Commitment." This poem repeats history, too, duplicating the way his mother could not save him all those years ago, detailed in "How We Learn." Hines shows an understanding that comes with time and pain in these lines:
"How could she forgive
any more than I
could forgive myself
for driving away in the darkness,
to board a plane, to put
thirty years and three thousand miles
between us,
for saving the one person
I could possibly save?"
Despite (or because of) the emotional vulnerability in many of the poems, the book exudes homeyness. The author is well-grounded in his subject matter and that plays out clearly in the text—you can't help but be enveloped by his life, like a warm comforter. The poems in Any Dumb
Animal have a poised quality to them, a slow and steady weight. The collection feels like a friend you can sit in silence with for as long as you need to gather yourself. This effect is enhanced by the language choices; Hines is sparing but not sparse. His poems delight in their physicality, like in "Grace," which describes both "the crisp patter of rain" and "the harpoon of a needle into your leg."
Hines crafts arresting images and manages to carve beauty out of suffering and agony, rendering the critical moments in his life, both big and small, with the same attention to detail.
Though the poet unspools the length of his life in Any Dumb Animal, he also takes care to touch on the intersections where that life met the world at large. "What I Learned" details the effects of COVID-19 and Hines' own decisions about intubation, while in "This Morning After the Riots," he weaves together the threads of his Southern upbringing with his current reality, living in Portland during the George Floyd protests of summer 2020. Hines also relates to the movements of the present in "Me Too." The author doesn't restrict himself to current events of historical significance, though; in "Bohemian Rhapsody, 1991," he allows the reader a glimpse into his experience of the HIV and AIDS tragedy, writing about "…all of us burning up / together in that back alley bar."
An earthy and tender collection of poetry, Any Dumb Animal tells the story of a man redeemed by love. This book exemplifies the much-beloved quote "If you're going through hell, keep going," and the poems feel like a catharsis for Hines, both an exorcism and an exaltation. This is not a subtle collection. There is little in the way of nuance to tease out. Hines writes plainly and has a clear voice that rings with sincerity.

I don't think there is any specific information about this in the Pokémon anime, manga, or games, but the ratio of humans to Pokémon in the Pokémon world is likely similar to the ratio of humans to other animals in the real world. The estimates listed below are from this article: How Many Wild Animals Are There. The author admitted the estimates are not very good, but I could not find a better source.
1.0124 * 1015 animals / 7 * 109 humans = 144,628 animals per human.
This number should give a general idea of the ratio between humans and animals, but should in no way be taken as accurate. And note that if I added arthropods into the sum, then the ratio would be greater by several orders of magnitude. I didn't do so because bug Pokémon are much larger than their real world counterparts and their populations probably would not be comparable as a result.

Beginner's Guide to Horse Racing, Off-Track Betting at the Jockey Club, Race Analysis by Michael Patricks
The Delta Downs Jackpot
Posted by Santa Rosa Horse Racing on November 18, 2016 November 18, 2016
Delta Downs 11/19/2016
Race 7-$1,000,000
Post Time: 2:45 PM PST
As daylight gradually contracts and steadily gives way to longer nights so does the mass quantity of graded stakes races post Breeders' Cup. Hardened handicappers will most likely focus their attention on a bevy of small stakes races to be offered at Laurel Park this weekend, including the Grade III Frank DeFrancis Dash for $250,000, which is sure to be a good one. However, since 10 Kentucky Derby points are up for grabs in the Grade III Delta Downs Jackpot, and 2016 Preakness Stakes winner Exaggerator won this race last year, we'll turn our focus to this competitive affair which has drawn a gritty field of 10 runners to compete around the Vinton, Louisiana bull ring.
***Inclement weather could be in the forecast, be advised the foregoing analysis was done with a fast track in mind.***
1-Pat On the Back 15/1 ML- New York-bred arrives in Louisiana seeking four victories in five starts after cleaning up on state-breds, including a convincing score last time at 20/1 in the Sleepy Hollow. This useful son of Congrats has been extremely well managed in his campaign while racing without Lasix or any race day medications in his past performances. His versatility in running style is without a doubt a feather in his cap and coming out of the races he exits, he will certainly be a nice price when the gates fly back. The chief issue of concern with him is the fact he will have to run faster than he ever has before to make an imprint while taking his racetrack with him in the process. He notably picks up Robby Albarado for Saturday's event but may risk getting pinned down along the inside, where he could take a ton of dirt while facing the unenviable task of trying to run down more accomplished animals to achieve victory. Sporting three wins in five starts I would not say that this is the impossible dream, but I'd happily give him more than a pat on the back and congratulate him on this accomplishment should he get his head down on the wire in the Jackpot. Albarado and McPeek won this race in 2006 with Birdbirdistheword and this one is a trier; consider in your gimmicks.
2-Line Judge 6/1 ML- Played the role of big man on campus at Canterbury before proving his quality last time at 8/1 in the Jean Lafitte, Delta's stepping stone to the Delta Downs Jackpot. In the Jean Lafitte, Line Judge benefitted from a perfect trip in a smaller field, able to come home the final quarter-mile in 26.3 seconds, a fraction that simply will not be fast enough to get the job done this time around. Now, you're being asked to take a smaller price on the morning line than you received last time at the closing odds of 8/1 and you're asking L.J. to beat even better horses with his hand being forced from an inside draw. No doubt this is a talented two-year-old, but I get the distinct feeling the fun is over for this guy and when push comes to shove from the company he'll be entertaining on the front end, can't help but think he'll be softened up and besieged by the onslaught of quality closers he faces in opposition. To be clear, Line Judge deserves a chance to prove himself against this Grade III cast, but if you missed the wedding at 8/1 last time, don't go to the funeral at a lesser price today; calling a foot fault on him.
3-Thirstforlife 8/1 ML- Casse: Part One–Ran his eyeballs out last time at Keeneland while clinging on desperately over a tiring, good surface. He truly laid his body down in a long drive where he prevailed in a multiple horse photo when you could essentially throw a blanket over them at the finish. He was thought to be a good one as evidenced by his unveiling, where he competed against stakes horses at Churchill Downs, finishing a credible third. After graduating, he failed to make a real dent in the Best Pal where he was summarily dispatched by Klimt, who himself has been a bit disappointing in his last couple efforts. A fast surface on Saturday could help his cause, but what truly hinders him in my view is his inability to seemingly pass horses when it matters most, as that's something he'll almost certainly have to do if he wants to be anything beyond an ornamental also-ran in the jackpot. With so much speed signed on in the race, it's very difficult to envision his usual tactics prevailing here. Expect Casse to have Geroux take back a bit and hope he can stalk and finish. If he's able to relax, he certainly has a puncher's chance in the end–but if he's hell bent for leather on making the front end once again, he'll be nothing more than a pace casualty when he attempts to lead them behind enemy lines; leaning against.
4-Our Stormin Norman 8/1 ML-Casse: Part Two—Uncoupled 8/1 stable mate ships in with Thirstforlife off his maiden breaker at Keeneland, a comprehensive front running score at 9/5. It appears the blinkers did the trick for him last time as his Beyer grew by a whopping 31 points. This son of Blame has faced pretty nice horses in his maiden efforts and several next out winners have emerged from those contests, and that's worth noting. Leparoux sees fit to spend his Saturday atop this one's back and it's quite possible the best is yet to come from 'Norman, especially when hailing from this potent outfit. The pin prick into his proverbial balloon stems from the simple fact that with the addition of blinkers and how he took the race by storm from the get go on graduation day, it's going to be awfully tough to get this guy to settle down early as he's sure to be amped up between the ears, under his new hood. There's an approximate three-furlong run from the gate into the first turn and it's easy to envision this guy being super pumped up with that type of runway in front of him considering Line Judge, Dangerfield, and Hot Sean will all have the same idea in mind. Leparoux may be able to get this guy to relax, and if he can, then who knows? Just think that will be much easier said than done. Believe 'Norman may have a rude awakening in his first start against winners, but will earmark him for other sprint races down the road; making other plans.
5-Dangerfield 12/1 ML- Got quite a bit of respect in his Pleasanton graduation when toppling winners by an open length margin. Aqua Frio came back to win sprinting over the tapeta at Golden Gate Fields and Only You Babe who finished third, was the best two year-old filly competing in northern California at the time. Doug O'Neill has put three consecutive six furlong works into this guy in an effort to inflate his tires and does have a Delta Downs Jackpot victory in his past with Goldencents (2012). It's difficult to know for sure just how much horsepower Dangerfield possesses, and that's no joke. He was handled with relative ease by southern California maidens before asserting himself against northern California winners. If he can step forward off his Pleasanton effort you'd be foolish to toss him out, and keep in mind that O'Neill enlists Flavien Prat to ride. Given his connections' tendency to strike with these types of runners and since he doesn't appear to be a "need the lead type", I'm leaning towards including him in my wagering party; wild card sort makes a lot of sense with a heads-up ride.
6-Gunnevera 5/2 ML- Morning line favorite reunites with Javier Castellano after posting a considerable upset in the Saratoga Special when victorious at 9/1 odds in a five horse field. Gunnevera benefitted from blistering fractions in the Saratoga Special and cleaned up on the embattled leaders, with him and Recruiting Ready 14 lengths clear of third. Took the overland route in the Breeders' Futurity when chasing Classic Empire who came back to win the Breeders' Cup Juvenile with a tenacious effort in holding off Not This Time. Off company lines alone it would appear that this race falls on Gunnevera's racket to serve out. There is a litany of speed sign on, he's capitalized in a similar fashion before, and he's got two bullets in the holster from Gulfstream Park West to offer in preparation for this. His connections remained realistic by keeping him out of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile and aiming for this Grade III spot. My question surrounding him is whether he is still improving –or has he already plateaued? He needs to take a step forward in the Jackpot as his evenly-run Breeders' Futurity effort is only good enough to make marginal headway in this spot. Gunnevera is an obvious must-use in exotics and multi-race wagers based on his paper tiger status, but I'm looking elsewhere for top honors.
7-Balandeen 10/1 ML- Dueled three wide in the one-turn mile of the Street Sense when chasing and eventually running down the post time favorites in that event before eventually surrendering to the unbeaten McCraken. Balandeen and the other pace setters did all the heavy lifting for McCraken to make his bold move and to this guy's credit he hung around for a clear cut second place finish at a healthy price, though he could not stall the winner late. Balandeen will likely be pushing the pace setters along once again with Dangerfield just to his inside employing a similar tactic. Appreciate that Balandeen will likely be in the outer flow and expect him to make a midrace move into contention somewhere along the back stretch and entering the far turn. He will have to hold off some of the true closers like Gunnevera and J Boys Echo, but fully expect this guy to give a good account of himself while outrunning his odds in the process. Trainer Chris Hartman knows how to ship and win and has done well with limited starts in Cajun country. By Benardini, you can expect this guy to continue eating up the ground; logical player at a nice number and expect this son out of Mamma Kimbo to grab a nice slice of the pie.
8-Hot Sean 7/2 ML- Southern California speedball hails from the Bob Baffert outfit and retains hustling pilot Martin Pedroza for the Delta Downs Jackpot. After a second place finish on debut, Hot Sean took care of business at odds-on in his graduation before once again doing the same against four rivals last time out in a first level allowance score. Hot Sean appears likely to help set up a hot pace with his wide draw and you can expect Pedroza to put him in the race early, trying to keep him from taking too much dirt in his face. It's not too difficult to envision 'Sean surviving the battle, but eventually succumbing in the proverbial war to the wire, with some real proven runners launching bids from just off his heels. Hot Sean will certainly have to adorn himself with not just heavy war paint but also full artillery of body gear if he's going to be the last one standing at the wire in this one. Young Bob Baffert runners are capable of dramatic improvement at any stage in proceedings, but based on Baffert's reputation, you're taking a severe underlay on him if the morning line odds are an accurate reflection of the public's perception; demand an overlay if you're going to back him; caveat emptor.
9-J Boys Echo 8/1 ML- Likely underlay at post time shows up as a talented, lightly raced sort who looks to have the perfect running style for the Jackpot. After a tardy break in his debut, J Boys Echo ran on determinedly to finish a willing second at 8/1. Stretching out to two turns naturally suited this guy to a tee, where he was able to stalk the pace and pull clear to a powerhouse victory of better than five emphatic lengths, showing he had plenty left in the proverbial tank. Interestingly, his customary pilot defects to the inside runner at a much bigger price and Romans employs Cajun Kent Desormeaux to do the steering on Saturday. Obviously, Desormeaux knows the track and would take pride in winning this $1,000,000 race as there is nothing like winning when you come back home. Expect the morning line odds on him to dip somewhere in the neighborhood of 5/1 at post time, which still provides a good measure of value if you're backing him on top. This son of Mineshaft should love the added ground and he will most likely be launching a formidable bid in tandem with Gunnevera while approaching the half-mile pole and unquestionably be heard from in the stretch; logical contender for all the marbles.
10- Tip Tap Tapizar 10/1 ML- Ran in the Jean Lafitte with plenty of cover and chased Line Judge around the track, unable to make headway on that one who was able to set soft fractions on the front end. The tables have most certainly turned in terms of a pace standpoint this time around and that will likely boost this one's appeal to price hunters. Gerard Melancon has long been one of the perennial riders on the Louisiana circuit so it should make this one's appeal that much more pronounced with a local pilot astride. Going from inside to outside, Tip Tap Tapizar will have to find some cover and avoid losing ground into the first turn. But, with a three furlong run to the turn and so much other speed in front of him, expect Melancon to get him a nice spot somewhere in the middle flight, ahead of Gunnevera and J Boys Echo. The question is simply whether he is good enough. The Steve Asmussen barn is one that you have to respect, but curbing my enthusiasm is the staunch reality that this guy was manhandled by 15 lengths against Gunnevera in the Saratoga Special and then life and death to get up over Holiday Bonus in the Sapling, who hasn't come back to do much since. His comeback effort last time was reasonable behind a soft pace, but it's my opinion he'll need to take a couple big steps forward if he's to threaten for top honors; other appeal more.
Consensus: 7-9-6-5
Lucky 7 for yours truly in the Jackpot. I foresee Balandeen and the lightly raced J Boys Echo coming to the wire with Gunnevera closing and Dangerfield trying hard from just behind the top three. Give Pat On the Back an extra push in your wagers if the race comes cup wet.

The WORCESTER PARK Blog :: Pasta La Vista!
With appropriate Mediterranean tardiness, La Continental mezze/tapas/bistro has finally opened (in place of the old 'Berties' cafe).
There were a few customers in there when I wandered past, which is encouraging for a brand new venture and they are open for evening meals too.
The menu is certainly comprehensive - even if the lunch special today was the distinctly un-Mediterranean 'Cottage Pie & Veg' - and prices don't look too bad, so I shall have to check it out soon.
Of course if you've beaten me to it and have already sampled their fare then you can add your comments to the ever-popular restaurant & cafe review page of the blog.

TEXTS FOR "GRIMLY HANDSOME"
GRIMLY HANDSOME is a new play about killers, police detectives, and animals that premiered on January 3rd, 2013, in the Other Forces festival at Incubator in New York. (The show runs until January 20th. Click here for tickets). The following passages are from a novel that exists in this play.
"I had no desire to come to his attention."
"But Dominic, we need you."
Dominic dropped the butt of his cigarette and crushed it under the sole of his Hugo Boss loafer. He had always taken a lot of shit from the guys over what they called his "fancy" way of dressing, but he'd never even been tempted to give it up. He was a firm believer that most people treated you better, took you more seriously, once you gave them a look at your market value.
"Lawrence is an asshole," he said simply.
Moran shrugged. "Nothing I can do about that. But Dom, he wants you on this too. He may be an asshole but he knows an ace profiler when he sees one. And you're the best in the business."
Dominic hated flattery worse than low-sodium soup, but he could tell Moran was being sincere. "All right," he said. "Have the boys messenger me the crime scene photos ASAP. And tell the asshole I'll take the case."
It was to be the most fateful decision of his life.
The place was deserted. Except for a couple of down-and-outs nursing cups of coffee. The waitress was nowhere to be seen. In a joint like this that was probably for the best, ha ha. He could hear the faint sound of someone moving around in the kitchen, but he decided not to make his presence known just yet. Eventually the cook emerged. He was completely bald, with beady eyes, and sweating profusely. "Help you?" "I wonder if you can," said Dominic. "I'm looking for someone I hear's a regular customer of yours." "Look around," said the man, and started shuffling back in the direction of the kitchen. "Hang on." The cook turned around. He was a good head taller than Dominic, and now he fastened on the detective's blue eyes with his own beady ones. "You police?
"Dominic." Says the cook. "Let me tell you about it. Let me explain what you are seeing. This is a moment of great global unhappiness. For example, my mother. Her feet are swollen so she can't walk. Just an example, she's not here. What is it, what do you see that you haven't seen before. What are the clues. Come on. Here is a clue: a rat. Yes, a little animal rife with disease. Sitting on your bed when you open the door. Making a little nest on your pillow. The bodies of lesser creatures are lying all over the room. Plundered. Chyewed. Now. Do you make friends or what."
Dominic says: "I don't go in for parables."
The cook says: "It's very simple. There's always someone waiting."
He'd seen it a hundred times, and he still couldn't get used to it. Dead men bled out on the pavement because a junkie needed a fix; wives and mothers battered and bedraggled, old before their time; old couples beaten on the way home from the movies by some joker with something to prove; and always the shouting, the crying, the constant chorus of outrage and grief that surrounds every corpse like Dolby. It was no picnic, but he'd learned to live with it, learned to let it go when his head hit the pillow. But this, the way the kid looked up at him, like he was scared Dominic would hit him, or worse—crud in the corners of his eyes, his blond hair filthy with god knows what fluids—this he couldn't get used to.
No matter how hard he tried.
"Jimmy," he said to the little face, "I'm not gonna hurt you. Jimmy. My name is Dominic. I'm a detective. Do you understand me? Good. Now, me and these other guys, we wanna find out who did this to you."
"Well, yeah, that's a great place to start."
The kid shifted in his chair and looked up at the ceiling. When he spoke again, his voice was pitched high with annoyance, as if someone had just told him to stop playing video games and wash up for supper. "What?"
In fact, Dominic wished he could tell the kid to wash up.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Look, Jimmy. I know you have a hard time trusting people. I'm the same way. What if I send these fellows out to get you some lunch and meanwhile we talk just the two of us."
The kid shrugged.
"You're not hungry?"
"I'd rather have a cigarette."
He thought about it for a moment, then reached into his pocket and tossed the kid his pack of marlboros. "Just between you and me. Guys, if you wouldn't mind. Mercutio, pick us up a couple big macs and some cokes." Grumbling, the other men cleared out. "So what happened?"
"I guess the guy got mad and hit me."
"Congressman Philiphead?"
"I don't know. The redheaded guy."
"That's him." The kid probably had no idea what a congressman was. For that, Dominic almost envied him. "What were you doing when he hit you?"
"Hanging out."
"You hang out with grownup men a lot?"
"They pay you to hang out with them?"
"You could go to jail for that."
"Jimmy, nobody's gonna put you in jail."
"We would like, to put you in school."
"Jimmy, you're a prostitute."
"That may be true, but. The words you use don't really attach to anything. Don't attach to my experience of a night or a morning or an afternoon or a meal or a fight or a high or a prize or a fuck obviously if I did know the answer to your question. Another example is 'congressman,' that's a piece of inflated language, it's drivel."
"No, it's very specific."
"No, me. If I have my mouth full of sin half the time it doesn't mean, it doesn't mean I'm not expert. Learn from me."
"I'd like to."
"Buy a ticket to my seminar."
"Yes, I'd like to."
"Sign my cock."
"No! Sign my check. Ok. For the information."
Outside, pink and silver clouds were racing past the window. In the street, shopkeepers raised the metal grates over their windows, then lowered them. Then raised them again.
The kid continued: "The congress man, as you call him, runs a ring."
"But," said Dominic weakly, "he is a congressman."
"I don't have much time."
"What about your big mac?"
"That was weeks ago. He runs a ring of victims. You have everything you need to convict."
"Victims of what are we talking. My head—"
The kid spoke quickly: "I have a face and a neck and a body that hurts men's hearts. One look, one look and you're broken. What can't you want from me. This is what I mean by a victim."
"You mean there are more like you?"
"Ever so many."
"Well how
UP?!?!?"
"I, I. Excuse me, kid, I lost track of time there for a minute."
The kid looked at him with wide eyes.
Dominic remembered the kid was afraid. "Are you afraid of me?" And then he realized he'd been mistaken. "Am I…" It was the other way around. "Are you…?"
Just then the guys arrived with the grub.

The Surveillance and Pharmacogenomics Initiative for Adverse Drug Reactions (SAPhIRE) program is funded by the Biomedical Research Council (BMRC) of A*STAR, Singapore to improve drug safety by developing an active surveillance network for adverse drug reaction (ADR) monitoring and discovery of genomic biomarkers that are predictive of specific ADRs.
SAPhIRE seeks to strengthen collaborations among genomic and bioinformatic scientists, clinicians, health economists, and regulators to significantly aid in the translation and implementation of robust, validated pharmacogenomics biomarkers with demonstrated cost-effectiveness. We will build on the strong example of successful implementation of genetic testing for HLA*B-1502 prior to carbamazepine use in Singapore.
Development of clinical grade diagnostic assays of genomic biomarkers for ADR clinical testing.
This new initiative is built on the strategic partnership between BMRC and the Health Sciences Authority, as well as close collaboration with local hospitals.

Integrating a new Captcha type — .:: GSA SEO & Marketing Forum ::.
I am facing a bit of a problem not finding a Captcha type on GSA Captcha Breaker, at the time I though this software could solves any Captcha.
Can you please help me make GSA Captcha Breaker recognizes and solves this type of Captcha ?
I'll be very very thankful.
It can not solve every captcha. If that was possible then I would be rich and the software wouldn't be available for that price. However that captcha type looks not that complicated. If you can, please provide more samples (filename should have the correct answer) or at least an URL where to get them.
Thanks for your quick answer Sven.
I can provide many samples, but I dont know where to get all possible faces of that captcha type.
I'll gather as much samples as possible and post them.
I wonder how can I have GSA solve similar captcha ?
those lines at the bottom are a problem. Hard to solve things automatically. However I will try to add it on next update. But don't expect a good solve rate.
I appreciate it very much !
Please notify me whenever you do, so that I update my software when it's ready.
I tried it but I no Captcha has been solved successfully !
Is there anything else that can be done ?

KAMENRIDER memory of heroez Premium Sound Edition_20201108222332
One of the longest series in the Tokusatsu heroes, Kamen Rider comes a new entry, Kamen Rider: Memory of Heroez. This fan-favorite by Bandai Namco Entertainment was released on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on 29th October this year. The game is based on Kamen Rider OOO, Kamen Rider Zero-One and Kamen Rider W. The cell-shaded design and graphics can be noticed immediately when you launch the game, after a few tutorials on the game, you are taken into Narumi's story, a Detective Agency.
About Kamen Rider: Memory of Heroez
Shotaro is investigating Sector City, an island that is guided by a mysterious robot called Ai. As you progress the game, you will unlock memories and soon you will get the other half of Kamen Rider W.
The gameplay is quite linear as you progress through the city. It is mainly build for fan-service and also for younger kids who are really into the series. It's not hard to learn the skillsets and moves before venturing further into the game. The game can feel quite slow-paced at first with unnecessary cut scenes for unlocking doors. The battle is also pretty straight forward, you will be put into a square invisible wall to defeat your enemies before you can venture further into the mission.
Some enemies are pretty straight forward, but some can be a bit of a challenge, some have shields and some bosses might get pretty challenging as well.
One of the most amazing feature in Kamen Rider: Memory of Heroez, is the ability to change form at any time you want (once you've collected each memory of the Riders). Any long serving fans will definitely go crazy when they "HENSHIN", and unleash your finishing moves that will definitely make any fans jaw drop.
Judging from the huge cast of voice-actors, the delivery of lines and fantastic voice overs, really makes you get so indulged into the game. Kamen Rider Accel and Birth is also being made available in a short segment of the game.
The entire game campaign lasts around 10 hours or so. And it also features a survival mode as well.
Kamen Rider: Memory of Heroez is a great game, for both newcomers and long-serving fans who are really into it.
Kamen Rider: Memory of Heroez is available on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch now.

May IPI slows on GE14, softer exports
Syahirah Syed Jaafar
The Edge Financial Daily
July 13, 2018 10:25 am +08
This article first appeared in The Edge Financial Daily, on July 13, 2018.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's Industrial Production Index (IPI) grew at a slower pace of 3% in May compared to 4.6% in the previous month as economic activities tapered off during the 14th general election (GE14) and exports growth decelerated noticeably, pointing to a more pedestrian second-quarter gross domestic growth (GDP) growth, economists say.
The May output was in line with RHB and Nomura Malaysia projections, but slightly above MIDF's forecast of 2.7%.
"This slowdown was likely due to fewer working days during the month as a result of the GE14 and the two-day post-election holidays," RHB economist Vincent Loo Yeong Hong wrote in a client note yesterday, but observed May's ebbing IPI number mainly reflected the deceleration in export growth to 3.4% year-on-year (y-o-y) during the month.
"It was also an indication that trade volumes have started to lose steam amid a slowdown in global economic activity and growing concerns over the US-China trade war," Loo said.
Given slowing industrial activities, he projected second-quarter GDP growth would dip to 5.3% from 5.4% in 1Q 2018.
"We maintain Malaysia's 2018 GDP growth forecast at 5.2%, easing from 5.9% in 2017, on a slowdown in external trade but cushioned by resilient domestic demand," he said.
Nomura also noted that taking into account the IPI and other data, GDP growth looks to track at 5% y-o-y in 2Q.
"This represents a slowdown from 5.4% in 1Q and is well below our 5.8% forecast premised on boosts from election-related spending, the return of fuel subsidies and the zero-rating of the goods and services tax in June.
"These factors pose downside risks to our 2018 GDP forecast, which already anticipates growth slowing to a below-consensus 5.1% in 2018 from 5.9% in 2017," Nomura said in a note yesterday.
MIDF said it expects IPI output to expand at a steady pace in the second half of 2018 amid escalating trade tensions, but partially offset by moderating inflation and supportive policy changes for businesses such as tax-holidays and stable retail fuel prices.
According to the statistics department, growth in May's IPI was supported by manufacturing and electricity segments, their indicators growing by 4.1% and 2.6%, respectively.
The mining index declined 0.5% however, with the contraction led by a sharper fall in natural gas output but offset by a rebound in crude oil output.
The major subsectors which registered increases in May 2018 were electrical and electronic equipment products (4.8%), petroleum, chemical, rubber and plastic products (3.7%), and non-metallic mineral products, basic metals and fabricated metal products (5.0%).

Lucas Oil Speedway Preseason Spotlight: Traveling man Gibbs riding wave of momentum in USRA Modified
Lucas Gibbs is coming off a fifth-place points finish in the Pitts Home USRA Modified division at Lucas Oil Speedway. (Kenny Shaw photo)
WHEATLAND, Missouri (Feb. 12, 2020) - If they handed out track championships for miles traveled to race, Lucas Gibbs would be an instant contender at Lucas Oil Speedway. Each week during the season, Gibbs and team make a 500-mile round trip from Udall, Kansas, with their USRA Modified.
That means there are times he rolls into the driveway at home as the Sunday-morning sun is rising. But Gibbs said the grind is worthwhile.
"We're about 45 minutes south of Wichita," Gibbs said. "It's a long drive, but it's well worth it. We enjoy racing there. All the people, all the staff and the drivers. We're lucky to be able to race there."
Gibbs is eager to fire up a new Big Adventure RV Weekly Racing Series season in a few weeks. He's coming off a solid fifth-place points finish in the Pitts Homes USRA Modified division, which included four top-five finishes and seven top-10s in 12 attempts.
A new MB Customs car is about 75 percent completed, but Gibbs said he plans to open the new season in the MB Customs machine that he drove to a season-best third-place feature finish in last year's Lucas Oil Speedway weekly finale.
Overall, the season was probably Gibbs' best since he began racing Modifieds in 2013. He said regular mechanical input from Tommy McCoy, who also has helped Kansas racers Darren Fuqua and Lance Town, was key.
"We started off the year struggling pretty hard," Gibbs said. "We've never been that great (at Lucas). But Tommy came over and started helping and we kind of partnered up. It's been really good since then. We got a lot better, a lot more consistent - and the driver got a lot better in general.
"I'm really excited to get going," he said of a new season, which begins April 4. "We kept our old car and will start out with it. I'll probably practice with the new one on Test and Tune day (March 28). I'm really confident about starting a new year. I'm not cocky or anything, I'm just excited to see how we start."
The primary goal is to get into victory lane. Gibbs said chasing a points championship is not something that will consume him.
"I would look to try and win some races and we'll see where the points fall," he said. "I'm not a big points guy. If you get too wrapped up in the points, it can take the fun out of it."
Fun is how Gibbs describes the sensation of driving a USRA Modified, with its combination of big horsepower on 8-inch tires. He selected the No. 51 because that was the number his maternal grandfather, Lonnie Cooper, had when he raced.
"Not everybody can afford to run the Modified and I feel fortunate to be able to," Gibbs said. "It's very competitive and that's the main thing that interests me."
"My aunt and uncle, Missy and Matt Swiggart, have raced in the past," Gibbs added. "We've just always been a racing family. I started racing go-karts at about 7. It's something we've always done as a family and it's always kept me intrigued. Racing is always evolving.
"I have a lot of people who help me. My Mom and Dad (Jim and Brenda), sister Bailey, girlfriend Irene and aunts and uncles Vic and Barbara and Matt and Missy. They go when they can. They ride in a truck nine or 10 hours a week when they could be doing other things."
Team sponsors include Dynamic NC, TMR Technologies, Scott Bailey Racing Engines, Schaeffer Oil, Joe Archambeau, Dynamic Drivelines and Mel Hambelton Ford Racing.

A: You're duplicating the initialization of variables (ex: size,tosses,etc) here.
If want to manipulate a property of a specific class you need to use this keyword. So,
int size = Integer.parseInt(x); becomes this.size = Integer.parseInt(x);
int tosses = Integer.parseInt(y); becomes this.tosses = Integer.parseInt(y);
etc..
Then in your randomizer() method you could try something like :
Random random = new Random();
for (int i = 1; i <= this.tosses; i++) {
    int value = 1 + random.nextInt(this.size);
    System.out.println(value);
}

A: You mean something like this?
Random r = new Random();
for (int i = 0; i < numTosses; ++i) {
    int rand = 1 + r.nextInt(cubeSize);
    // use rand, which will be an integer from 1 to cubeSize (inclusive)
}

36 Once-Popular Baby Names That Are Disappearing
36 Once-Popular Baby Names That Are Rapidly Disappearing
Don't expect to meet any Debras, Carols, or Deans on the playground this year.
By Jessica Leigh Mattern Published: Apr 7, 2017
Though baby name trends come and go, there are a ton of classic monikers that have stood the test of time, topping the "most popular" list for over 135 years. But just because a name was incredibly well-liked at one point in time—we're looking at you Donna and Dennis—it doesn't mean it will be a top choice for parents forever.
13 Short Baby Names With 3 Letters or Less
The following once-common names are rapidly declining in popularity, according to BabyCentre, which used its database of 300,000 parents across the U.K. to determine this year's most favored and unfavored monikers, according to Brit + Co. According to its data, BabyCentre says that not a single parent has registered a child with these names in their system so far this year—and some of them are pretty surprising! Here are some names that apparently are in danger of going extinct in the near future:
It's not clear what names these parents are opting for instead, but we have a feeling it's a more unconventional choice like Kyd, Benajah, Tatjana, or Alizeh, some of which, are growing in popularity by more than 4,000 percent.

In this talk, I address the challenges of information/knowledge fusion from multiple (possibly conflicting) sources. For example, consider that there are multiple experts (sources) providing knowledge-based models of the same scenario/situation and we wish to aggregate this information in order to assist in decision-making. There are several problems we may run into by naively merging the information from each source – the experts may disagree on the probability (uncertainty) of a certain event or they may disagree on the direction of causality between two events (e.g., one thinks A causes B while another thinks B causes A); the experts may even disagree on the entire structure of dependencies among a set of variables in a (probabilistic) network. The challenge here is to develop a semantically sound and computationally effective methodology that explicitly accounts for the uncertainty and conflicts. In our solution to this problem, we represent the knowledge-based models as Bayesian Knowledge Bases (BKBs) and provide an algorithm called Bayesian knowledge fusion that allows the fusion of multiple BKBs into a single BKB that retains the information from all input sources. This allows for easy aggregation and de-aggregation of information from multiple expert sources and facilitates multi-expert/source decision making by providing a framework in which all opinions can be preserved and reasoned over.


Social work in a digital age: ethical and risk management challenges.
Reamer FG. Social work in a digital age: ethical and risk management challenges. Soc Work. 2013;58(2):163-72.
Digital, online, and other electronic technology has transformed the nature of social work practice. Contemporary social workers can provide services to clients by using online counseling, telephone counseling, video counseling, cybertherapy (avatar therapy), self-guided Web-based interventions, electronic social networks, e-mail, and text messages. The introduction of diverse digital, online, and other forms of electronic social services has created a wide range of complex ethical and related risk management issues. This article provides an overview of current digital, online, and electronic social work services; identifies compelling ethical issues related to practitioner competence, client privacy and confidentiality, informed consent, conflicts of interest, boundaries and dual relationships, consultation and client referral, termination and interruption of services, documentation, and research evidence; and offers practical risk management strategies designed to protect clients and social workers. The author identifies relevant standards from the NASW Code of Ethics and other resources designed to guide practice.

Casa Rosa Farms is an 110 acre organic family farm based in the Capay Valley. We raise Limousin-influenced cattle, also known as Lim-Flex. We prefer Lim-Flex beef for our grass fed program because of their long rib section, calm disposition and double muscling. We find that Limousin beef have more tenderness than Black Angus when raised on our grass. We also raise California Red Sheep, rotationally grazed through orchards and fields. We no longer raise pastured pork. Our poultry eat many organic fruits and vegetables, from our own farm and those of neighboring organic farms. We pledge to never administer antibiotics, hormone implants, or feed any genetically modified grains to our market animals (those slaughtered for meat). Our cattle and sheep are 100% grass fed. We specialize in smoked, cured and specialty meats for retail sale, partnering with small butcher shops to focus on quality not quantity. We invite you to taste the difference.
Our family has been farming in the Central Valley since emigrating from the Azores in the 1960's, buying their own farmland in 1974. The third generation (Casa Rosa Farms) wanted to do something different, so we planted an olive orchard and became certified organic by CCOF in 2009. While we no longer own our original family farm, we are still farming hay along with our parents on their farm and moved to the Capay Valley in 2012. Since then we have expanded our pasture based meats production. We practice holistic grazing management, inter-cropping within orchards, and have invested in solar power generation on our farm. Our cold room and freezers are about 70% solar powered. Our olive and fruit orchards are utilized by wild turkeys and peacocks for cover and food. Fruits of the orchards: extra virgin olive oil, apricots, plums, heirloom Bartlett pears, figs, pomegranates, oranges, Fuyu persimmons, Asian pears, quince, Marcona almonds and pecans.

Revista Minera fue una publicación periódica editada en la ciudad española de Madrid entre 1850 y 1936.

Historia
La Revista Minera, editada en Madrid, bajo el subtítulo «periódico científico é industrial redactado por una sociedad de ingenieros», entre los que se encontraban algunas de las figuras más prestigiosas de la época como Felipe Naranjo o Luis de la Escosura se imprimió primero en la Imprenta de Antonio Yenes, aunque más tarde pasaría a hacerlo en la de J. M. Lapuente. La revista, que contaba con láminas y cuadros estadísticos, publicaría su primer número el 1 de junio de 1850, con 32 páginas. En 1874 publicó un índice acumulativo muy detallado de los números anteriores, los correspondientes a la Serie A.

En 1875 la revista fue adquirida por Ignacio Gómez Salazar, que la fusionó con la revista La Minería, también propiedad suya y cambió completamente el formato (paso a tamaño folio, con pocas páginas por número) y los contenidos, reduciendo hasta casi desaparecer los artículos puramente científicos y dando mucho más peso a los aspectos comerciales.  Mantuvo el nombre de  Revista Minera, con el añadido de científica, industrial y mercantil. Esta sería la Serie B, dirigida por Eugenio Maffei. En 1883 la dirección pasa a Román Oriol, que intenta recuperar el contenido científico, aumentando en número de páginas. Esta sería la Serie C, que el 1 de julio de 1886 pasaría a llamarse Revista Minera, Metalurgica y de Ingeniería, que  se publicaría hasta 1936.

Entre sus redactores se contaron Álvarez de Linera, Lucas Aldama, Luis de Barinaga y Corradi, José Egozcue, Luis de la Escosura, Martín Gaitán, Antonio Hernández,  José de Monasterio, Anselmo Tirado y Sergio Yegros.
