Laura Sánchez attended at the 10th Annual NGS & Clinical Diagnostics Congress
Laura Sánchez attended at the 10th Annual NGS & Clinical Diagnostics Congress in London, UK. In this congress our PhD student Alvaro Arana Díaz presented a poster titled "Generation of a zebrafish model of CHARGE syndrome by CRISPR-Cas9".
CHARGE syndrome is a genetic disease that causes morphological abnormalities during development and is caused by haploinsufficiency due to mutations in the CHD7 gene. The zebrafish shares most of the genes with humans, including the chd7 gene. Thus we used CRISPR- Cas9 technology to provoke the appearance of mutations in this gene, and to generate a mutant line for the study of the disease. Recently, a relationship between this syndrome and the appearance of typical characteristics of senescence, such as a high expression of mediators of senescence p15 and p21, and a low cellular proliferation have been observed. Embryonic senescence is a process involved in the development of organisms, whereas CHARGE syndrome is a disease that causes morphological abnormalities during development. Given this relationship, we generated a mutant zebrafish CRISPR line for the chd7 gene, to perform a phenotypic characterization of the mutants, and to study the process of embryonic senescence in the mutants, evaluating the expression of genes related to senescence: p15 and p21 ; in addition to the chd7 gene, and perform SA-β-Gal staining to observe senescence in embryonic tissues. Our mutant embryos have different patterns in the SA-β-Gal activity and different levels of expression of the mediators of embryonic senescence, with respect to the WT embryos, which become noticeable from 120 hpf.

Q: How to geographically filter entries in PySpark? I have a dataset of locations in Lat/Lon format of users in a time period and I would like to filter the entries using GIS functions. For example, finding entries inside a polygon (ST_Contains from the GIS world) and  using an ESRI geodatabase file to add a column that is the district that user entry is located in.
I have searched the web and found Magellan, but the Python support is not working at this time. I have also found Hive support for GIS functions in Esri Spatial, but didn't find documentation on how to load the correct package when starting up PySpark or how to register the needed functions in the PySpark shell: (ST_Polygon, ST_Contains, etc...).
Are there other alternatives that I should look into? I am using Azure's HDInsight so I have access to a HiveContext object in the PySpark shell:
>>> sqlContext
<pyspark.sql.context.HiveContext object at 0x7f3294093b10>

A: You can use any python library with Spark, no need for the library to be Spark specific. Some GIS python libraries recommended by some random search are at http://spatialdemography.org/essential-python-geospatial-libraries/
You would have to install the library you want to use. Instructions on how to install libraries can be found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/38754345/1663781
Then, simply add a column to your RDD using any of the libraries, like so:
from my_gis_library_of_choice import in_polygon, district

text_lines = sc.textFile('wasb:///mydataset')
split = text_lines.map(lambda line: line.split('|'))
with_extra_columns = split.map(lambda r: r.append(in_polygon(r[2], r[3])).append(district(r[2], r[3])))

Books, Feminism, Literature, Reading, Writing, YA Wallpaper
On criticism
Starting The YA Wallpaper with Gretchen has been a lot of fun. We're just getting going and I think we're doing something different from what anyone else is doing when they engage the genre. We're taking it on its own terms: YA is a serious genre taking on serious issues and expects more of its readers than most people expect when they hear the words "Young Adult Fiction."
Our ethic isn't just to review books, to give them stars or tell you what to read. We're not a book club-style review vlog. Our review ethic is to assume that these writers are good craftsmen/women, skilled at storytelling. We believe that reading these books will be a good time in the story department and we gladly throw ourselves into wholehearted suspension of disbelief and enter the adventures of fictional worlds.
But we also assume that these authors are thoughtful people, writing to say something, hopefully not just writing to meet a book deal obligation. And we assume that authorial intent stops when the book hits the shelves and the author is responsible for what they've written, not what they meant to write.
We're writers, too. This is painful to accept and so we expect everyone, including ourselves, to be thoughtful and respectful about this. We're learning the ropes and we're responsible for our words, too. Hold us to that.
But here's the thing: young readers are significantly impacted by this genre. I remember being thirteen and earnestly believing that Anne Shirley's love life actually represented a fraction of reality. I remember positioning myself socially as if I was Jo March, and I remember mentally breaking out of the cycle of gaslighting in my church because of Fahrenheit 451 and The Handmaid's Tale.
Most authors aren't Ray Bradbury or Margaret Atwood, I get it. One reason I love YA is because it's not the constipated social world of NYC literati. But if YA is "a thing" now and if it's going to be taken seriously and if it's more than just a marketing label, then it's appropriate to level serious literary criticism at the bestselling YA works and see how they stand up to the ideas they seem to espouse (namely, feminism and intersectionality).
The YA Wallpaper isn't about singling out an author or a book. We still love a good story. None of our criticism is intended as a personal attack against any author.
Instead, it's about taking account of the state of the genre and asking the questions we'd want to be asked if our fiction was published. The genre has turned a corner and has blossomed and matured in remarkable ways in the last few years, and we feel that not only is it ready to handle our questions, but it would be disrespectful to the craft and to the genre as a whole if we checked our critic's hats at the front page.
So, let's talk tropes. Let's talk feminism. Let's talk social norms. Let's ask hard questions about the genre, since, after all, the genre is certainly daring to ask hard questions about its audience and its world. And we're pretty excited about that.

Tory Lanez Shares "Chixtape 5" Release Date & Album Cover Featuring Ashanti
Fans have been practically begging Tory Lanez to drop Chixtape V, and recently the rapper-singer announced that the album would arrive sooner than later. We're just weeks away from the November 15 release date, and just hours ago Tory shared the cover of the record that features R&B singer Ashanti. She's shown in a pink room checking what looks to be a Sidekick phone—some of you will be old enough to remember those—in an image that gives off 1990s-2000s hip hop and R&B vibes.
In fact, Tory recently gave a shoutout to a specific era of music for helping create the sound of his forthcoming mixtape. "2000 -2006 ... I want to personally thank these 6 years for being the MAIN INSPIRATION to the SAMPLES and NOSTALGIA used on #Chixtape5," he wrote on Instagram. "I have never went this hard on the PRODUCTION of any of my albums .. really hope y'all enjoy what I have had the honor of enjoying for the last 8 months."
Meanwhile, T-Pain channels all of Tory's fans in a video that he shared on social media. "Where the f*ck is the Chixtape!" he yells while holding a bottle of Hennessy. "Give me something!... This n*gga Tory Lanez, he wanna wait. Now it's five. This is the special one." T-Pain added that Tory has "legends" on the record and first names himself, but if you think we were going to hear who else is featured, you're highly mistaken. Check out Chixtape V's album cover along with T-Pain's funny video below.

La communication supraluminique est un processus hypothétique au cours duquel de l'information serait envoyée à une vitesse supérieure à celle de la lumière dans le vide. Le consensus scientifique actuel rejette la possibilité d'une communication plus rapide que la lumière et cette dernière n'a été démontrée par aucune expérimentation. Elle est considérée impossible car elle impliquerait, d'après les invariances de Lorentz, la possibilité de . Cela engendrerait une panoplie de paradoxes temporels et contredirait la causalité.

Malgré cela, plusieurs théories et phénomènes liés à la communication supraluminique sont proposés et étudiés, faisant intervenir des concepts tels les tachyons, la  et les trous de ver.

La communication supraluminique est un concept régulièrement utilisé en science-fiction.

Tachyons

Non-localité quantique
Le principe de localité, enfreint à la suite de la violation des inégalités de Bell, ne remet pas en question le principe de causalité. En mécanique quantique, la réduction du paquet d'onde d'un système en intrication quantique fournit toujours un résultat intrinsèquement aléatoire et ne servirait pas à communiquer un message.

Trous de ver

Dans la culture populaire
 Les univers de fiction de Star Trek et de Star Wars font intervenir les communications, ainsi que les déplacements, supraluminiques.
 Dans le roman de science-fiction Armada écrit par Ernest Cline et paru en 2015, les envahisseurs extraterrestres possèdent une technologie permettant une « communication quantique » instantanée à portée illimitée. Les êtres humains procèdent à son analyse et parviennent à s'approprier la technologie extra-terrestre.

Technology has brought about many changes in today's society. We interact, exchange information, and socialize in whole new ways that were not even possible twenty years ago. These changes apply to all areas of life, and can even be incorporated into the classroom to bring about positive results in students. The use of technology in the classroom for cooperative learning, personalized learning, and group learning have the potential for great impact on the way learners learn and teachers teach.
Any educator in the classroom today would argue that students learn and retain information better when they are in a collaborative environment. Students need social interaction to help reinforce content and allow them an outlet for discussion and analysis. "Numerous studies have shown that students benefit positively in their academic and social development through cooperative learning" (Ramli, 2010).
"Teaching and learning are highly social activities. Seminal psychologists such as Vygotsky, Piaget, and Bandura have theorized that social interaction is a key mechanism in the process of learning and development. In particular, the benefits of peer interaction for learning and motivation in classrooms have been broadly demonstrated through empirical studies" (Kim & Baylor, 2006).
In a traditional classroom, this would mean that students would be grouped together and then asked to have a discussion or work collaboratively on a project. Bringing technology into the education scene opens many new possibilities and outlets for cooperative learning to occur. "Advances in computer and communication technology are providing opportunities to augment human cognition, interaction, and even social relations" (Kim & Baylor, 2006).
"In particular, pedagogical agents can be designed to simulate social interaction that may facilitate learners to engage in the learning task and consequently to enhance learning in computer-based environments. Pedagogical agents are animated life-like characters embedded in instructional applications. What makes pedagogical agents unique from conventional computer-based environments is their ability to simulate social interaction" (Kim & Baylor, 2006).
What they propose is not just an environment for collaboration to occur in, but for the student to accually socially interact and collaborate with the computer program or "environment" itself! What an out-of-this-world idea that is rapidly becoming a very real possibility.

The Cruising Pavilion: Gay Sex, Architecture and Cruising Cultures
by James Taylor-Foster
There's a sequence of scenes in Luchino Visconti's 1971 adaptation of Death in Venice in which Dirk Bogarde's Gustav von Aschenbach, who has traveled to Venice for palliative reasons, shadows a fourteen-year-old boy and his family as they weave through the campo and calle around the Piazza San Marco. The night before, von Aschenbach had clumsily refused the advances of a bemused prostitute in a plump boudoir at the Grand Hôtel des Bains, his hotel on the Lido. An accomplished composer—in Thomas Mann's Der Tod in Venedig of 1912, he's an author—he has a wife and, one assumes, a family. But Tadzio—a beguiling, effeminate adolescent and the uneasy object of his uneasy obsession—stirs in him something hitherto suppressed.
Spotting Tadzio in the piazza, von Aschenbach is compelled to follow him. He slinks behind a column as Tadzio descends a bridge, so as not to be seen. Torn between shame and incorrigible curiosity, he tails the boy until they eventually catch each other's eye. This moment of connection, charged by something that neither can articulate, is broken by the passage of a Venetian official pouring a white watery fluid over the street. Distracted, and having lost Tadzio to the indistinguishable ebb and flow of the city, von Aschenbach interrogates a nearby street merchant: "What is this filthy smell?" Ignored by the merchant, who is himself in apparent denial, his fears are soon confirmed by an empathetic bank clerk. It is disinfectant. A cholera epidemic—which no one will openly speak of or accept—has gripped the city.
Across its long history as a point of convergence between Europe, North Africa, and Asia, Venice has been known as the city of the seamy assignation. Death in Venice explores beauty and disreputable desire against the backdrop of a place that has, on more than one occasion, yielded to its louche reputation. From Casanova to Caravaggio, the islands have been hotbeds for venereal disease—syphilis, most famously—and the finest courtesans in the known world. (The mid-sixteenth-century Catalogo de tutte le principal et più honorate cortigiane di Venetia [Catalogue of All the Principal and Most Honoured Courtesans in Venice] was a best-seller in its day.)
Like one vast scenographic envelope, Venice is a city of superficial image and hidden depths—of showing only your best side, often requiring the disguise of a powdered face, a carnival mask, or a gold-studded mosaic to support a crumbling palazzo. I lived in Cannaregio for a little over a year, and would often snake my way home under the pall of night for what felt like hours contemplating how, in the guise of darkness, Venice appears to be at its most real. Imagine, for instance, the midnight voyages of pre-Napoleonic times. No rumble of outboard motors on the Grand Canal, no floodlights or bustling terrace restaurants—nothing but anonymous gondole, lacquered black and gliding silently across the water like shadows. In this sense, Venice is, and always has been, an oscillating choreography of flagrant spectacle and the great unseen.
A new exhibition, opened to coincide with the vernissage of FREESPACE, the 16th Venice Architecture Biennale, explores this latent dynamic through a revelatory study of the history and architecture of dissident sexual practices. Located at Spazio Punch on Giudecca, the Cruising Pavilion—a self-initiated, independent project among the critics, curators, artists, and architects Pierre-Alexandre Mateos, Charles Teyssou, Rasmus Myrup, and Octave Perrault—tackles the aesthetic and architecture of cruising spaces.
Its presence in Venice is not coincidental. The Giudecca, a long, slender island south of the city, is one of the few remaining Venetian bastions comparatively undiluted by the fake restaurants and retail outlets that are bleeding through the islands to its north. It is also the site of the Garden of Eden, a once unpromising six-acre artichoke garden with adjacent villa bought in 1884 and then transformed by Frederic Eden—a great-uncle of Anthony Eden—and his wife Caroline, the sister of the British horticulturist Gertrude Jekyll. (The garden was later presided over by Aspasia Manos, consort to Alexander I of Greece, and their daughter, Queen Alexandra of Yugoslavia, before the Austrian architect and artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser purchased the property in 1979.) Abandoned in 2000, the garden is now closed and concealed, offering little more than a gated view of a once-vibrant expat scene. Under the Edens the likes of Marcel Proust, Henry Sickert, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Henry James frequented the garden. Around 1908, a moment in which the polymath and open homosexual Jean Cocteau often visited, the garden became a well-known gay cruising spot.
Against this backdrop, the curators of the Cruising Pavilion have revealed an opportunity amid a void in mainstream architectural discourse. They state that cruising, which usually describes the quest for sexual encounters between homosexual men in public spaces, cannot be reduced to either men or homosexuals. Often taking place in public sites such as parks, toilets, and parking lots, or in dedicated establishments like bathhouses and sex clubs, the historical model of cruising is both evolving and fading in the face of "Grindr, urban development, and the commodification of LGBT culture." In this way, the exhibition examines the conflictual architecture of cruising: "Somewhere between anti-architecture and vernacular, the spatial and aesthetic logic of cruising is inseparable from the one of the proper metropolis," the organizers argue.1
Much like the early ideas put forward by Mann and, later, Visconti in Death in Venice, the curators observe that cruising is no less than "the illegitimate child of hygienist morality." It has been and remains "relegated to the realm of depravity, feeding off its most structuring disciplinary features." In bathrooms with wipe-clean surfaces and public parks (or bushy English gardens in Venice, for that matter) designed for peaceful weekend walks, "the modern city is cruised, dismantled, and made into a drag of itself." In the words of the artist and anthropologist Shaka McGlotten, if a public toilet is a public space for private functions, then "it is also a place for private sex that becomes public because it takes place out in the city."2 Cruising requires total invisibility in the most visible of places, while sexual encounters must disappear in plain sight.
Explored at length in the exhibition through a series of works by a collection of artists and architects, this dynamic is made self-evident. Underlining that cruising not only exists in every neighborhood of every city in the world, but that it permeates all discourses, the curators put forward a wide range of projects and proposals that are also firmly in the architectural realm. Paris-based Studio Odile Decq and New York–based practice Diller Scofidio + Renfro have each contributed schemas that present work and ideas on the scales of both rooms and cities. In the realm of landscape architecture, Pascal Cribier and Louis Benech's subversive drawings of their 1994 redevelopment of the Tuileries in Paris depict public urinals and a penis-shaped topiary in a children's playground. A design for a sex club by Los Angeles–based artist and landscape designer Alison Veit sits near to a film by Andrés Jaque examining the urban experience of the digitally augmented urban sex life. With regard to the latter, a key aim for the curators is to study new forms of sexual spatiality made available by geosocial smartphone apps. For them, the likes of Grindr have generated "a new psychosexual geography spreading across a vast architectonic of digitally interconnected bedrooms, disrupting the intersectional idealism that was at play in former versions of cruising." (The exhibition also features a 1982 French Alcatel Minitel terminal, a device that accommodated electronic communication and kickstarted digitally connected cruising.)
While the 16th Venice Architecture Biennale, the great global condenser of architectural discourse, is just twenty minutes away from the Guidecca, they may as well be worlds apart. The Cruising Pavilion has commandeered its audience—and rightly so—highlighting the event's failure to consider its own call to action without questioning the heteronormative production of space itself. Having made "a few urgent revisions" to the creative directors' "FREESPACE" manifesto, the curators of the Cruising Pavilion have made a radical step toward new ways of mainstream thinking, asserting that architecture is a sexual practice and that "cruising is one of the most crucial acts of dissidence": "CRUISING FREESPACE focuses on architecture's ability to provide free and additional spatial gifts to those who use it and on its ability to address the unspoken wishes of strangers."

Q: Android Tooltips on MenuItem I'm trying to show a tooltip on a MenuItem.
I'm using this library: compile 'com.github.xizzhu:simple-tool-tip:0.5.0' from this Maven repository:  maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }.
I'm getting the view for the MenuItem, to use it as an anchor for the ToolTip but it is launching a nullPointerException in the toolTipView.show() method.
When I debug the app, the View item is correct.
If i replace the View item with the floating button fab, it works perfectly.
At some point, it worked, but the ToolTip position was wrong, it appears on the left top corner of the screen, instead of the right position, which would be at bottom of View item.
Note: I'm creating the ToolTip inside OnCreateOptionsMenu() because OnViewCreated() run before this method, so I have to do it there.
Here is where it happens, if you need any other piece of code I can upload it.

Grant County was formed in 1820 from a portion of Pendleton County, and is surrounded by six counties. It is located in north-central, Kentucky, and was named for one or all of the frontiersmen brothers, Samuel Grant, John Grant, and Squire Grant. The county seat is Williamstown, it was incorporated in 1825, named for William Arnold, a native of New Jersey, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, and builder of the first Grant County courthouse in 1821. The 1820 Grant County population was 278 [heads of households] in the U.S. Federal Census, and it increased to 7,660 by 1860, excluding the slaves. Below are the numbers for the slave owners, slaves, free Blacks, and free Mulattoes for 1850-1870.
About 18 U.S. Colored Troops listed Grant County, Ky, as their birth location.

Man stranded on Aberdeen beach for two hours with broken limb
By Chris Jaffray
Emergency services rescue a man who broke a limb on the beach at Aberdeen, north of the mouth of the river Don. Picture by Kami Thomson 03-04-16
A 20-year-old man was left stranded on a beach in Aberdeen for almost two hours last night after suffering a fall and breaking a limb.
Emergency services were called to the incident at the entry to the River Don, near Donmouth Road, shortly after 6.30pm, but were unable to transport him to hospital immediately, due to a lack of vehicle access.
Ambulance crewmen requested assistance from the coastguard who sent a helicopter and a lifeboat to the scene.
Paramedics eventually opted to send a Polaris Ranger vehicle across the beach to transport the injured man back to Donmouth Road where their other vehicles were stationed.
The man, understood to be a student at Aberdeen University, had been out with a friend at the beach when the accident took place.
The friend, who requested anonymity, described what happened.
He said: "We were playing around at the dunes and he decided to jump, but lost his footing.
"When he was on the way down, he grabbed me and I landed on top of him and all I heard was a loud crack.
"When I got up and looked at his leg, it was misshapen and his ankle was broken.
"I then made the call to the ambulance."
Speaking from the scene Kenny Rattray, a team leader with the Scottish Ambulance Service, described the rescue operation.
He said: "We were called out to [help] a male who was injured on the beach.
"The operation involved the coastguard, a lifeboat and special operation from the ambulance service.
"The male had a broken limb and was retrieved by a Polaris Ranger vehicle and he will now be taken to hospital."
The man was eventually transported to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary at around 8.30pm.

Heidi Baker has been called "Africa's Mother Teresa" because she has taken care of thousands of abandoned and abused children in Mozambique. She has the same unselfish attitude as Mother Teresa. But she is no nun, a mother of two children besides thousands of foster children and married to Rolland, her fellow companion through extremely hard work.
She was once put in a "dummy class" because of her dyslexia, but latter earned a Ph.D. from London University. She is a Charismatic preacher and healer. Always stopping for the one. Even the spiritually blind and poor the western world.


Most of us receive a multitude of emails each day. It's easy to address them one by one, filtering and sorting and replying to them as they tumble into our inboxes.
Most of the emails I receive are either positive or pointless—nice words from readers (positive) or junk mail I do my best to filter out (pointless). Thus, it's only logical to want to check my email frequently, receiving textual praise while clearing the clutter. It's a win-win, right? After all, who doesn't want constant positive feedback? And who doesn't want to feel productive?
This sounds ideal, except for one problem: we have real lives.
You see, living in our inboxes—something I did for a long time, especially during my twelve years in the corporate world—forces us to be on edge, always seeking the next nugget of digital applause, always anticipating the next question, the next "follow-up," the next "action item." Worse, it keeps me away from living a fulfilling life, one that doesn't revolve around the white glow of my computer screen.
Similar to a lab rat, we have trained ourselves to click that "get mail" button to receive these food pellets. Hit the lever, get the food. Hit the lever, get the food. Hit the lever, get the food.
Sometimes the food is tasty—a kind message from a friend, a thoughtful question, a hilarious link from Nicodemus. But most of the time these food pellets are filled with empty calories and they taste like cardboard.
So instead of checking my email throughout each day, I check it once a day at most, and some days I don't check it at all.
A handful of changes in my life have made this shift possible—and far less stressful than you might think.
Home. I don't have Internet at home. This one change, albeit utterly frustrating at first, is likely the most productive thing I've ever done. Because I don't have Internet at home, it is impossible for emails to penetrate the walls of my abode.
Phone. I don't get emails on my phone. Once I brought my cellphone back into my life—after going two months without it—I discovered that it was better and far less stressful to remove email from it altogether. Now I use my phone to text and (ahem) talk.
Planning. When I check email, I do so deliberately: I set aside a block of time, clear my plate, and embrace the messages on my schedule, on my terms, when it's convenient for me. If I do it right, it's possible to enjoy myself, even when I'm checking my email.
Expectations. It's important to set the proper expectations with people. Let people know how you feel about email (they likely feel the same way). Ask them to respect your time and attention. My friends know I don't like receiving superfluous emails, and if they must send me an email, then I likely won't respond right away. My writing students know I don't respond the same day, either. When I do respond, it's thoughtful, succinct, and, above all, value-adding. The best question to ask yourself before clicking the send button is, Does this email add value?


The ocular surface, or surface of the eye, consists of the cornea and the conjunctiva, and is bordered by the upper and lower eyelids. Dr. Flemings, what can you tell us about the ocular surface?
Well, Dr. Reynolds, unlike the rest of the body, which is covered by skin, the ocular surface is covered by a thin layer of tear film, which is formed by the tears that spread across the eye's surface every time a person blinks. Having a stable tear film when the eye is open protects the eye against infection and contributes to eye comfort and clear vision.
Tear film has three layers. The outer layer, called the lipid layer, is oily and keeps tears from evaporating too quickly. The middle layer is called the aqueous layer, which nourishes the cornea and conjunctiva. The bottom, or mucin, layer helps spread the aqueous layer across the eye to ensure that the eye remains wet.
Excess tears drain through ducts in the inner corner of the eyelids. When the production and drainage of tears is out of balance, the tear film may become unstable or inadequate, causing "dry eyes."
The cornea is transparent, or clear, and is the part of the eye that covers the colored iris. It plays a crucial role in the refraction process that allows a person to see.
The conjunctiva is a thin membrane covering the inner surface of the eyelid and the white part of the eyeball, called the sclera.

Hamatora (ハマトラ, lit. "Yokohama Tiger") is a Japanese mixed-media project. The project began with a manga series written by Yukino Kitajima and Yūki Kodama as the character designer, while Yū Wazu is adapting the design to the illustration. The manga, Hamatora: The Comic, started serialization in Shueisha's Young Jump magazine in November 2013. An anime television series, Hamatora: The Animation, by the studio NAZ premiered on TV Tokyo and ran for twelve episodes between January 7 and March 25, 2014. It was followed by a second series by Lerche starting in July 2014, Re:_ Hamatora. Additionally, a role-playing game titled Hamatora: Look at Smoking World developed by FuRyu was released in July 2014. Other related titles include a light novel and a stage play.
The series takes place in the year 2014 when selected humans called Minimum Holders have been discovered to possess supernatural abilities. The story focuses on Minimum Holder Nice who forms a detective agency called "Hamatora" based in Yokohama and he starts gathering a large number of allies such as his partner Murasaki and assistant Hajime as well as enemies including several criminals. The anime stars Ryōta Ōsaka, Wataru Hatano, Emiri Katō, Kiyono Yasuno, Jun Fukuyama, and Yuichi Nakamura among others.
The series has earned mixed criticism by publications for manga and anime. While the elements of mystery have been well received, the themes and animation have attracted criticism. It has also been often compared with the X-Men for its setting and characters.
Hamatora – brilliant TV series, one of the best of its category I accept that my expectations are very low before I see this TV show. I know it gets a lot of stick for being the mainstream popular TV show, but honestly I can not think of anything wrong with the TV series online.
The soundtrack of these TV show is simple, decieving, full of mischief in its own right. I love how music just is the pure soul of that TV series. The action, special effects, characters and score are all perfect to me.
Sure there are classic TV series which everyone like, and they are great. But Hamatora is just non stop awesome from start to finish. I just bought this TV show on blu ray and decided to upload full TV series Hamatora here, so everyone can now see it for free online.

Quick Steps: Members > Send Email > Campaign Management
1. Select Members from the top menu, then Send Email from the left menu.
2. Select Campaign Management from the expanded menu.
3. Once an email campaign has been sent, it will move into Incomplete. The email will remain in this status until all emails have been sent to the selected recipients. The results of the send can be viewed by going to the Complete status.
An export of these members can be downloaded by clicking on the statistic.
Sent: Is the number of emails that were sent
Hard: A hard bounce back is where the email address does not exist. The spelling could be incorrect or the member's email may have been cancelled. A hard bounce back email will automatically be deleted from the email database.
Soft: A soft bounce back is where the member's mail box may be full or the email has been prevented because of spam filters, or server restrictions. Soft bounces will not be deleted from the database. The server will attempt to resend the email for 72 hours.
Opt Out: This shows how many members clicked the unsubscribe button on the email that was sent, these opt out members are automatically deleted from the email database.
Links: If you have included external links in your email, this will display the number of clicks on each link. This is a great way to track marketing success and also analyse the content that interests your members.
Info: Provides details of the groups of recipients the email campaign was sent to, as well as the ability to view a copy of the email that was sent.
Delete: Deletes the history of the campaign being sent.
You may experience delays with your email moving from Incomplete to Complete, this is due to other traffic going through the email server. Please be patient and allow up to half a day for the email campaign to send.
Tracking Links
Unlike other email distribution software, the tracking links are automatically appended to every link that is included in your email. You don't have to manually create the tracking links, just set up the hyperlinks as per normal.
Please note that the number reported will be the number of clicks, rather than the unique number of people to have clicked on the link. If a member does click a link three times, this will record as three clicks.
Open Rates
Open rates are not an exact science. Standard practice is for the email to include a small image (not visible to the reader) within the email that is downloaded from the email server, when that image is downloaded an "open" is recorded.
This means that an email must be read in HTML format in order for an open to be recorded, consider the following email clients -
Outlook is the most commonly used business email client. Later versions of Outlook have been blocking images by default. If an email is viewed without downloading the images, an open will not be recorded. Also consider the preview pane in Outlook. Whilst a user may well have image download set to automatic, he/she may simply be moving through their email list and click on your email without reading it, this will however record an Open.
Web based email systems such as Gmail and Yahoo also operate in a similar fashion to Outlook.
Mobile devices such as Blackberry open all email in Plain Text format. Therefore anyone reading your email on this platform would not count as an open.
Finally consider, as Spam Filters become more sophisticated and people are being increasingly overwhelmed by email and therefore being more selective on what they are reading.
Open rates are great for looking at short term trends and will give you a good understanding of whether shifts in your email practices are working (EG moving from a Monday send to a Tuesday send) but should not be treated as gospel.

Like many people, I come from a long line of veterans and I am proud that members of my family have helped change the history of America. On a day like Veteran's Day, we remember those from our collective past who served us and saved us. What any member of a military family would tell you about this day though is that they spend a good part of it thinking about the future. They have to ask questions like, how is the military going to affect my family tomorrow? How do I explain duty and honor to a child who misses their parent? How do we get by with a slim salary, an uncertain future and (in too many cases) how do we do it alone?
My father, grandparents, cousins, brothers-in-law, and friends have all sacrificed so much but I have to admit that the one I think about the most is my baby niece. She's 2 years old and if my sister and her husband decide they want to remain in the military, she will spend her young life being subject to so many adult emotions. I do my fair share of worrying about her father but it's nothing compared to the impact that fear is going to have on her life.
I'm not a paranoid person but I worry about so many things when it comes to my niece. Raising children in the military is a system centuries old. I'm sure that when all is said and done she will turn out a well-adjusted adult.
And even though her road will be a scary one, I hope she can look past it all and find the good and take things from her experience.
I didn't grow up with active duty parent but my family moved for other reasons. I know what that lifestyle has in store for her. I hope she makes friends everywhere she goes, and doesn't lose track of the good ones. I hope she never lets herself settle for one town but instead finds pieces of herself in many cities. Moving around is hard on a child, but hard in a way that teaches you a lesson about change and opportunities over the horizon.
I hope she learns honor.
Military jobs rarely come with the key to a mansion and, arguably, never give you anything the easy way. I hope my niece learns that her father is sacrificing more than just time, energy and livelihood. Yes, he gets compensated for what he does but compensating military personnel is not a game of equality wherein we pay them a perfect amount of money in exchange for their service. Sometimes, soldiers fall through the cracks, terrible things happen, or someone pays the ultimate price. In that scenario, no soldier's family has ever been "fairly" compensated for the loss of their son, father, brother. Despite that, soldiers keep fighting everyday and it's honor that keeps them going.
In the end, I hope she thinks it was worth it.
There wouldn't be much to fight for is she couldn't ask that one question. I hope that one day, when she is old and has lived a long honest life, she looks back on the sacrifices that her family made and thinks that people's lives are better off. I hope she thinks that she shared her dad with the United States of America in the hopes to make things better. Selfishly, I hope she knows how hard it is for me to live far away from her now and how much I miss her. But that is the unspoken sacrifice of all military families. You give up normality and a standard life and you don't hope for anything in return. Most importantly, I hope she knows we all appreciate her sacrifice too.
Joanna tries to be a wordsmith, thinks of herself as a maker and has been called a splendid turner of phrases. She is a communicator by nature and a public relations professional by nurture. She spent years helping develop lowly startups and tech giants alike as well as promoting live music and art. She is a philosopher on the weekends but only when she's not bopping around looking for local music. She is a techie who hates the word techie and spends most nights giving a side-eye at her workout equipment while binge-watching Arrested Development and D.I.Y.-ing. Most recently, she's a Las Vegas transplant by way of San Francisco and probably on her way to Taco Bell right now.
