Wallowing is well and good, for a very limited time. Cry your tears, bash him with your girlfriends, burn your mementos if you want, but give yourself a wallow deadline and then rededicate your attention to the positive. Find things that you are passionate about and spend time doing them. Learn a new hobby, dedicate yourself to a charity or kick items off your bucket list. Any of these options will increase your daily joy in life and help your ex become a distant memory.
Many women find themselves dating the same kind of man over and over until they get past an internal issue. Take your time being single to try and deduce the patterns that you have in relationships, or ask an honest and direct friend who has your best interests. What type of guy do you date, and what change in attitude or behavior would change the kind of guy you might like? Are you too permissive of bad behavior and find "fixer-uppers" to date? Do you find guys who are emotionally unavailable? Answer a few of these questions so that you can fend off your ex, the sequel.
The next question to make sure you understand is what you bring to a relationship. Compassion, a sense of humor, intelligence, a sense of adventure, and a good attitude are just some of the things that can enhance a real relationship. Don't simply look for someone else to get over your ex, though. Instead, identify the best parts of yourself and spend time doing solo and friends-only activities that highlight what fun this side of yourself is. This will help you recalibrate the standards you should have in a relationship, and help you to develop the self-love needed to prevent future men from taking advantage of you. If you're not looking to date, you will likely find a lot of the pressure is off, and it can become a great time for growth and reinvestment in your own value. Once these things become an important part of your requirements, dating will likely become easier, and your ex will be on his or her way to being a distant memory.

IBM pits Watson super against humanity
This time, we're in Jeopardy
Timothy Prickett Morgan Mon 27 Apr 2009 // 17:19 UTC
Answer Engine
The Watson QA system software has been in development for the past two years and is based on open source code created by IBM's Software Group called Unstructured Information Management Architecture (UIMA), which is available as an Apache project. As the name of this code (a framework, really) suggests, UIMA is designed to bring some order to unstructured data so it can be analyzed and that analysis can be used to drive decisions.
It is the backbone of something that might be called an answer engine (something that processes all kinds of unstructured and structured data and comes up to an answer to a direct question) as opposed to a search engine (something that collects data and indexes it in such a way that with multiple search terms you can find bits of structured and unstructured data that you might use to come up with an answer). The confidence in an answer engine is what differentiates it from a search engine, and it is also what distinguishes a Jeopardy player who hits the buzzer quickly and asks the question to a statement and therefore wins the money.
By the way, the Watson QA system software is not based on or derived from the InfoSphere Streams software or the System S streaming server that IBM announced as a prototype at Toronto Dominion Bank three weeks ago as a very fast options trading system that can take in data from many different data streams - stock tickers, news feeds, video, etc. - and use it to drive stock buying and selling decisions.
While the System S and Watson QA machines use different software, they are both based on the same hardware. In this case, it is the BlueGene/P massively parallel supercomputer, which is based on a processor card that has four 850 MHz single-core PowerPC 450 chips and 2 GB of DDR2 main memory linked by symmetric multiprocessing. A single rack of the BlueGene/P has 1,024 of these four-core processor nodes and is rated at around 13.9 teraflops of number-crunching performance. Of course, not all of the work that the Watson QA machine is doing will be crunching numbers, but processing text and organizing it to speed up how questions to Jeopardy statements are created.
The Watson QA system is based on various forms of textual data (books and other types of authoritative data) that will be pumped into the system and organized based on the general Jeopardy question categories. Most of the system is programmed in Java, according to Ferrucci, but there is a smattering of C++ where performance is critical and Prolog is also used for some of the rules relating to textual analysis.
The parallel processing in the system is not only used to find bits of relevant data quickly, but also to score relevant bits that support it as being part of the question relating to a Jeopardy statement and then to come up with the resulting question and then to assign it a score on how confident the Watson QA system is in its answer.
Sometimes, the Watson machine will not hit the buzzer because it is not confident in the results it gets, and sometimes, it will be confident in the answer and, like the rest of us from time to time, be wrong. One of the tricks, according to Ferrucci, is to determine the optimum amount of information that allows the Watson QA system to come up with the right questions. Too much data (particularly if it is conflicting) can be as bad a thing as too little.
Just like the Deep Blue chess playing supercomputer stored a gazillion possible chess games and moves and sorted through those for the best possible moves based on where it was in a real game, the Watson QA system is being fed with likely statements Jeopardy game host Alex Trebek will make and the possible questions relating to those statements. (In some bases, past Jeopardy statements are being pumped into the machine, in fact). The UIMA framework is what is used to do deep analytics on the raw data ahead of time, and it is also used to parse the statements to "understand" them.
The exact configuration of the Watson QA super has not yet been determined, and it is not clear if the machine will be equipped with electronic ears to hear and speakers to talk as it responds. The machine will be put in the Jeopardy studios and will be disconnected from the Internet - no cheating with Google allowed by humans or computers.
As is always the case with Big Blue, the Jeopardy challenge is ultimately about not just some free PR, but doing some big business. The code behind the Watson QA system will undoubtedly end up front-ending a lot of enterprise applications, wherever decision makers want a little assistance and maybe a second opinion on a decision they want to make. In many cases, it is hard to imagine a computer doing worse than what some living and breather managers have done to businesses, but these people are our relatives and we don't want them living with us.
Here's to hoping that Watson QA gets its clock cleaned by some reigning Jeopardy champs. I am putting my money - and perhaps humanity's future - on Brad Rutter, the five-time and undefeated Jeopardy champ who also won three Jeopardy tournaments. Rutter is a self-described "slacker" from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, who dropped out of Johns Hopkins University and aside from working in a local record store, has made $3.3m playing Jeopardy. I get the feeling I am rooting for the underdog here.
IBM is not pounding its chest just yet on its ability to win the Jeopardy throw-down. But after two years and by throwing the gauntlet down this morning, Big Blue must be pretty confident. So can Watson QA win at Jeopardy? "We'll see," says Ferrucci with a laugh. "We certainly wouldn't be in the game if we didn't think we had a good chance." ®

Q: just statically linking to libboost_thread triggers access violation crash on startup I am dealing with the following setup:
A C++/CLI dll links to a static lib, which itself links against a static build of libboost_thread.
Without linking against libboost_thread the .exe, that loads the dll, runs fine.
I can even link to libboost_system and it still all runs fine.
At the very moment that I am linking against libboost_thread, the application always crashes with an access violation on startup before even entering any of my code.
This even happens if I am not including any boost header, I don't have to use anything from boost. Just linking against boosts threading library is enough to let the app crash.
I am using boost 1.53.0 and the prebuilt windows libs from http://boost.teeks99.com/ (especially libboost_thread-vc110-mt-gd-1_53.lib in both,the 32 and the 64bit version, tirggers this issue).
Any idea, what can cause that?

Coral Pink Color Stuns On A Native Coneflower!
Looking for something hot, hot, hot for your perennial beds and borders? A little tropical color to boost your border from 'Ho-hum.' to 'WOW!'?
If so, then it's time to plant some Sombrero Hot Coral Coneflowers. These coral-pink versions of the native Echinacea purpurea (Coneflower) are reliable bloomers that will fill your flower beds every year from mid-summer until the first frost with hot, tropical color.
Sombrero Hot Coral needs to be planted in full sun and average soil, but once it is established it will reward you with eye-catching blooms all season. It is compact, so it will fit into any garden or container. Don't let the compact size fool you, though, because Hot Coral covers itself in flushes of coral-pink daisy-like flowers with high bronze-colored central cones all through the season.
Hot Coral will bring hot color to perennial borders, natural meadows, butterfly or pollinator gardens and wildlife gardens. You can keep cutting the flowers for bouquets and they will keep coming all summer and fall filling your vases. Leave some on for the winter, though, because birds love the high central cones and will enjoy picking at the dried flowers all winter.
Sombrero Hot Coral will bring hot, tropical color and tons of flowers to your garden. Don't wait to order yours!

Interview with Cliff Thomason, Hemp Activist and Owner of Oregon Hemp Co.
Industrial Hemp is here to stay. The economic and medicinal benefits of this most versatile crop are undeniable. Testimonials by families tell stories of children recovered from epilepsy, adults healed from cancer, not to mention the great potential to create much needed jobs and sustainable economic development for farmers across our nation as hemp is also an excellent source of protein. We love Hemp!
To celebrate Hemp History Week, Indo Expo interviewed Cliff Thomason, President and co-founder of Oregon Hemp Company. Cliff was the first farmer to plant hemp legally in Oregon in over 70 years. Today Cliff is a proud farmer of ten thousand acres in Hemp crops having spoken publicly on the topic countless times. But things did not come easy for Thomason. As an activist, he co-founded the Oregon Industrial Hemp Farmers Association, and lobbied on behalf of Oregon Hemp farmers rights against HB2668 in 2015 and for HB4060 in 2016.
IE: Good Morning, Cliff! It is a pleasure to chat Hemp with you during Hemp History Week!
IE: HOW AND WHEN DID YOU START WORKING WITH INDUSTRIAL HEMP?
CT: A friend called in March of 2015 and said if I could get seed and land we could start building a Hempire. I got seed and land, and on May 1st, 2015 we we were the first farmers to legally grow hemp in Oregon in almost 80 years.
IE: WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT WORKING WITH HEMP?
CT: I love working with the growth of the industry. Our company is on track to plant 10,000 acres in 2019. We do a lot of sharecropping, giving farmers all over the state an opportunity to be a part of this industry. I got into hemp to create jobs and industry in rural Oregon.
IE: WHAT ARE SOME CHALLENGES OF WORKING WITH HEMP TODAY?
CT: Most of the challenges we face are from ignorance. We are constantly educating people on hemp and cannabis. We are finally turning the corner on getting people clear on what we are doing.
IE: Indo Expo is launching a Hemp Start Up Accelerator Program in Oregon to support Hemp startups through extremely subsidized booths. The idea is to create a platform for new Hemp entrepreneurs to grow their businesses.
WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE FOR NEW FARMERS AND PROCESSORS TRYING TO GET INTO THE HEMP MARKET?
CT: My advice has always been the same: Its not how much you can plant, it is how much you can harvest, dry, store, and sell. Work your plan backwards to see what is the right amount to plant.
IE: Thank you for the opportunity to share your story with us as a Hemp advocate and businessman! And most importantly, thank you for everything you have done to free the Hemp crop!

SHOOTING IS UNDERWAY…
SHOOTING IS UNDERWAY ON JEREMY DYSON & ANDY NYMAN'S GHOST STORIES
Principal photography began last week on GHOST STORIES, a supernatural thriller based on the original Olivier nominated stage production. The film is co-written and directed by Jeremy Dyson (writer The League of Gentlemen, Psychobitches) and Andy Nyman (The Commuter, Severance) who co-wrote and directed the original stage production.
Andy Nyman also leads the cast, reprising his role as Professor Goodman alongside Paul Whitehouse (Alice in Wonderland, 'Harry & Paul', 'The Fast Show'), Alex Lawther ('Black Mirror', Old Boys, The Imitation Game) and Martin Freeman (The Hobbit franchise, 'Fargo', 'Sherlock').
The film is produced for Warp Films by Claire Jones (Sightseers, Kill List), and Robin Gutch ('71, Kill List) and is backed by Catalyst Global Media and Screen Yorkshire. Altitude Film Sales is handling worldwide sales. Lionsgate will distribute the film in the UK/Eire. Principal photography began on October 24th and is scheduled to last for 5 weeks in Yorkshire.
Jeremy Dyson & Andy Nyman said of the project, "Over half a million people have seen the play and now we are beyond excited to be bringing the film version of 'Ghost Stories' to life. We adore supernatural thrillers and will be doing our utmost to ensure we give our audience an unforgettable experience that makes them laugh, scream and haunts their dreams".
Martin Freeman added, "I'm delighted to be on board Ghost Stories. Andy and Jeremy's script is funny, scary and extremely surprising. And they have amazing taste in actors".
Phillip Goodman, professor of psychology, arch-skeptic, the one-man 'belief buster' – has his rationality tested to the hilt when he receives a letter apparently from beyond the grave. His mentor Charles Cameron, the 'original' TV parapsychologist went missing fifteen years before, presumed dead and yet now he writes to Goodman saying that the pair must meet. Cameron, it seems, is still very much alive. And he needs Goodman to find a rational explanation for three stories that have shaken Cameron to his core. As Goodman investigates, he meets three haunted people, each with a tale more frightening, uncanny and inexplicable than the last.
Jeremy Dyson is best known as a member of sketch comedy team 'The League of Gentlemen' along with Mark Gatiss, Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith which started as a stage act and went on to become a BAFTA Award-winning TV series. He also co-wrote and directed Sky Arts hit series 'Psychobitches', which won the 2015 Rose D'or for Best Comedy.
Andy Nyman's acting career has included roles in many films including The Commuter, Death at a Funeral, Kick Ass 2, Severance, Automata and Black Death. TV credits include 'Peaky Blinders', 'Dead Set', 'Ballot Monkeys' and 'Power Monkeys. Nyman is a co-writer and director of magician and illusionist Derren Brown's TV and stage shows including Russian Roulette, Séance, and Messiah. Their collaborations have been nominated for and won both BAFTA and Olivier awards.
The stage production of Ghost Stories broke box office records when it opened at the Liverpool Playhouse and Lyric Hammersmith before transferring to the West End's Duke of York's theatre and later playing Toronto, Moscow, Sydney, Shanghai and Lima, Peru.

SXSW 2011 Review: ELEVATE
Director: Anne Buford
"It is crucial to Africa's future social and economic development that it's young people have a sense of hope." – Amadou Gallo Fall
This is the primary mission of the SEEDS Academy (Sports for Education and Economic Development in Senegal). Amadou Fall, former scouting director for the Dallas Mavericks, started a school that aims to help African teenagers obtain an American education in hopes that they can one day go to college in America and possibly play in the NBA. Director Anne Buford saw a compelling story unfold in four teenage basketball players and documented their journey from the academy to when they obtained their visas to come to the US.
Filmed over four years from the cement courts in Senegal to American prep schools, ELEVATE took the story of four West African teenage boys, recruited for their academic achievements as well as their athletic prowess for the SEEDS Academy. Assane Sene, Byago Diouf, Dethie Fall, and Aziz Ndiaye all accepted scholarships to prep schools and face many new challenges. Alone in a foreign country with no friends, having difficulty with school,and playing a different style of basketball than they're used to, they relentlessly pursue their dreams with courage, resilience, and a humble nature in order to help achieve their dreams.
The greatest thing this documentary does is highlighting the motivation of the boys. They don't have dreams of fame and fortune, many of the boys at the SEEDS Academy (and not just the subjects of the documentary) have aspirations of becoming doctors, and a lot of them plan to one day move back to Africa so they can help their families. These aren't spoiled players who have street agents coming out of high school, they genuinely want an American education. The film also does a great job of showing that they're just like regular teenagers. They like sneakers, enjoy music, and one of the boys especially likes American girls with "big backsides."
From a technical standpoint, as a film for people who like sports, there's a lot to relate to. One of the boys is on a team that gets off to a hot start before going on an eight game losing streak, and he gets attacked and blamed for the losses by one of his American teammates. Any former high school athlete can attest to how often locker room fights break out after a loss, but this is something that neither of these African players has ever had to deal with. They also lack a fundamental base of skill when it comes to basketball, but as pure athletes, these boys are as gifted as they come. That transition to the American game, however, doesn't come easily and along with everything else they have to deal with, some of them have trouble in school despite how intelligent they clearly are.
ELEVATE is a solid documentary that tells an uplifting tale about how sports can be used as a tool to help improve one's life. That improvement doesn't have to come from the fame and fortune of the NBA, though, it can come from simply being given the opportunity for a better life, something that so many of the boys from Senegal are trying to achieve.

MotoGP: Valentino Rossi wins season opener in Qatar
Italian legend Valentino Rossi won the opening race of the 2015 MotoGP season in a thrilling finish in Qatar.
Yamaha's Rossi, a seven-time MotoGP champion, claimed his 109th Grand Prix victory after the 36-year-old held off Ducati's Andrea Dovizioso.
Andrea Iannone on the Ducati made it an all-Italian podium, with Spain's two-time defending champion Marc Marquez back in fifth place.
Britons Cal Crutchlow and Bradley Smith came seventh and eighth respectively.
Marquez won the opening 10 races in 2014 but made a dreadful start to the new season as he was forced off the track and slipped to the back of the field.
The 22-year-old fought his way back up to fifth but could not challenge Rossi, who began the race eighth on the grid but charged to the front.
Rossi, who won the last of his seven titles in 2009, and compatriot Dovizioso enjoyed a dramatic duel in the closing stages, with the former champion defending a small lead over the final two laps.
"This was one of the best victories for me," said Rossi. "The bike was fantastic, I never gave up but it was a real fight with the Ducatis and the Hondas who were really strong.
"I'm so happy for me, for the team and for Yamaha. The second part of the race was really good and I'm very happy because we had difficulties in testing and practice but my experience helped today.
"This is a great, great victory but I had a good feeling this morning."

MotoGP: Andrea Dovizioso claimed a sensational pole position in Qatar
Ducati fill 3 of the top 5 positions on the grid for Sunday's race in Qatar.
Andrea Dovizioso blitzed his way to pole in spectacular fashion as he took advantage of the softer tyre option to set a time two-tenths quicker than the rest of the field, and funnily enough, seemed quite pleased: "I am very happy because the pole today is the result of a group effort: after two years in which we have suffered, we finally managed to achieve a competitive motorbike, and I honestly did not think we would have been so fast right away with the GP15."
One of the surprises of QP2 was the pace of Dani Pedrosa as he out-qualified his teammate Marc Marquez to finish in 2nd. The Spaniard was delighted to get onto the front row: "It was fantastic, because I think that it was one of my fastest laps at this track. It was vital to set a good lap time today, without making any mistakes, due to the fact that at this track all the times are very close together."
Andrea Iannone was disappointed to miss out on a front row start on the second Ducati Team GP15, as he finished in 4th.
It was another disappointing day for the Movistar Yamaha's of Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi, who will start tomorrow's race in 6th and 8th place respectively
Monster Tech 3 Yamaha's Bradley Smith, who only just made it through from Q1 with last lap of the session will start from 7th, admits he didn't make it easy for himself
Cal Crutchlow, who ended the practice sessions 2nd fastest overall, crashed out at turn 14 and will have to start the race from the back of the fourth row: "Thankfully it's just my pride that is hurt today, but obviously I'm not happy. I made a stupid mistake. The positive is that we were very fast and we had a great chance to get on the front row and my ideal time would have put us there. But hey, that's racing! The other guys did a better qualifying and we were 12th."

MotoGP: Crutchlow pulls off shock to finish 2nd behind Marquez
Marc Marquez finished on top of the combined timesheets after FP3 in Qatar, but it was Cal Crutchlow that caught everyone off guard.
The top ten riders in the combined standings make it through automatically to Qualifying 2, with the rest having to take part in Q1, with only the top two making it through to the second qualifying sesson. Therefore there was a lot to play for under the lights in the desert on Friday, as riders look to get their season off to a good start at the Commercial Bank Grand Prix of Qatar.
If the timesheets are anything to go by we should be in for one hell of a race on Sunday, as less than a second separated the top 18 riders. It was a frantic end to the two days of Free Practice as riders left it until the last five minutes of FP3 before putting on fresh rubber to begin their flying laps.
Reigning World Champion Marquez finished on top of the combined timesheets, improving his time from the earlier in the evening in the final practice session, and finishing with a 1'54.822, beating Casey Stoner's 2008 Circuit Record (1'55.153) by over three-tenths in the process. Marquez stating: "Today has been a very good day because we have improved our pace, which is the most important thing, and tried out a few things that have allowed us to progress."
The big surprise of the day came from CWM LCR Honda's Cal Crutchlow as the British rider put was the proverbial satellite cat amongst the factory pigeons. He managed to finish within 0.096s of Marquez in 2nd place overall, setting a incredible flying lap after admitting he had struggled early on during the final session. Crutchlow is not sure whether he will be battling for the race win on Sunday though, as he said: "I'm not sure today's speed and lap-times are relative to where we will finish the race, but I hope it is!"
The Ducati Team used "winglets" on both of its riders bikes for the first time, after having previously only tried them on Andrea Dovizioso's machine. Andrea Iannone set a time good enough for 3rd early on in FP3 before losing the front at turn 2 late on, ending his chances of improving further. Dovizioso could not match the pace of his teammate and had to settle for 6th place behind the Team Suzuki Ecstar GSX-RR of Aleix Espargaro (4th) and Dani Pedrosa's Repsol Honda (5th). It wasn't just the factory Ducati's that improved from yesterday with Yonny Hernandez setting a time good enough for 7th place on his satellite Pramac Racing GP14.2.
A big shock from the final day of practice was the lack of pace of the Movistar Yamaha's as Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi only just scraped through to Q2, finishing in 8th & 9th respectively. Lorenzo believes he will struggle in qualifying unless they make some changes: "It will be a hard fight for the front row tomorrow, because many riders have the extra soft tyre, that gives them four-tenths of a second. They are also stronger than last year, so it will even be difficult to get a position on the second row, but you never know what will happen. Maybe we can find something that will give us half a second and even let us fight for pole position."

MotoGP: Qatar Test, Day 2: Dovizioso edges out Marquez
Reigning MotoGP champion splits factory Ducati riders Dovizioso and Iannone
Ducati's dominance over the final MotoGP test of the year at the Losail International Circuit continued today with factory rider Andrea Dovizioso ending the day on top of the timing sheets while Marc Marquez was a close second and the Repsol Honda rider was followed closely into third place by the second factory Ducati in the hands of Andrea Iannone.
The second session got off to a similar start with Dovizioso and Iannone consistently in the top three but today it was Marquez who was at the front for the majority of the day but he was moved off the top with Dovizioso setting a fastest lap time of 1m 54.907s on his 33rdof 38 laps. Marquez's best time of 1m 55.091s was just .013s ahead of Iannone in third.
Movistar Yamaha rider Jorge Lorenzo made small improvements today although the Spaniard's best lap of 1m 55.500s came in just his 15th of 51 laps, this was in stark contrast to teammate Valentino Rossi who left it until his 50th lap to set the 5ht best time of 1m 55.581s while Dani Pedrosa sits in 6th today on the second of the Repsol Honda machines.
Cal Crutchlow once again showed good pace on board the CWM LCR Honda with the British rider continuing to grow in confidence on the factory machinery while his teammate Jack Miller ended his second day in 21st in the Open Class. Crutchlow's best time of 1m 55.624s was enough to see him ahead of his fellow countryman Bradley Smith on the Tech 3 YZR-M1 whose best lap of 1m 55.648s was .010s ahead of his teammate Pol Espargaro in 9th and closing out the top ten today was AB Motoracing's Karel Abraham with a best time of 1m 55.765s.
Pramac Racing's Yonny Hernandez was just outside the top ten with his best effort of 1m 55.772s while his teammate Danilo Petrucci didn't fair so well with the Italian in 22nd. Team Suzuki Ecstar's second day sees teammates Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Viñales in 12th and 14th respectively with just .015s separating them and in between is the Estrella Galicia 0.0 Marc VDS rider Scott Redding with his best lap of 1m 55.803s.
The Open Class this year is gearing up to be one of the closest and the Avintia Racing and Drive M7 Aspar teams were locked in battle today with Hector Barbera and Mike Di Meglio in 15th and 17th respectively while Nicky Hayden and rookie Eugene Laverty sit in 16th and 18thpositions. Michele Pirro set the 19th best lap today for the Ducati Test Team while Stefan Bradl and the Athina Forward Racing team rounds off the top 20following a crash early on for the German rider.
Bradl's teammate Loris Baz ended day two in 23rd position with his best time of 1m 56.936s enough to finish ahead of Aprilia Racing Team Gresini's Alvaro Bautista while Octo Ioda Racing Team's Alex e Angelis finished ahead of Marco Melandri and the second of the Aprilia machines in 26th place.

January 27, 2023 | Unlocking the Unimaginable: Revolutionary New Method for Materials Discovery
Harvard Study Casts Doubt on the Prevailing Model of Fixed Memory Formation
TOPICS:Cell BiologyCognitive ScienceHarvard UniversityMemoryNeurologyNeuroscience

A newly published study from the Harvard Medical School casts doubt on the prevailing model of fixed memory formation, suggesting that the brain may be far more flexible with what is retained and forgotten.
The human brain has a region of cells responsible for linking sensory cues to actions and behaviors and cataloging the link as a memory. Cells that form these links have been deemed highly stable and fixed.
Now, the findings of a Harvard Medical School (HMS) study conducted in mice challenge that model, revealing that the neurons responsible for such tasks may be less stable, yet more flexible than previously believed.
The results, published on August 17 in the journal Cell, cast doubt on the traditional notion that memory formation involves hardwiring information into the brain in a fixed and highly stable pattern.
The researchers say their results point to a critical plasticity in neuronal networks that ensures easier integration of new information. Such plasticity allows neuronal networks to more easily incorporate new learning, eliminating the need to form new links to separate neurons every time. Furthermore, the researchers said, once a memory is no longer needed, neurons can be more easily reassigned to other important tasks.
"Our experiments point to far less stability in neurons that link sensory cues to action than we would have expected and suggest the presence of much more flexibility, and indeed a sort of neuronal efficiency," said study senior author Chris Harvey, an assistant professor of neurobiology at HMS. "We believe this trade-off ensures the delicate balance between the ability to incorporate new information while preserving old memories."
The Harvard Medical School study involved experiments with mice repeatedly running through a virtual maze over the course of a month. Analyzing images of brain activity in a brain region involved in navigational decision-making, the researchers noted that neurons did not stabilize into a pattern. Instead, the set of neurons forming the mice's maze-running memories kept changing for the duration of the study. In fact, neurons kept switching roles in the memory pattern or left it altogether, only to be replaced by other neurons.
"Individual neurons tended to have streaks where they'd do the same thing for a few days, then switch," Harvey said. "Over the course of weeks, we began to see shifts in the overall pattern of neurons."
The experiments are part of the research team's ongoing efforts to unravel the mysteries of memory formation and, specifically, how the brain captures external cues and behaviors to perform recurring tasks such as navigating a space using landmarks. Imagine a person driving a familiar route to the grocery store who sees the bank and turns right at that corner without even having to think about it consciously.
To mimic that process, mice in the study were trained to run down a virtual passage — a computer-generated maze displayed on large screens in front of a treadmill — and turn right if they were given a black cue or left if they were given a white cue. Researchers imaged hundreds of neurons in the part of the brain responsible for spatial decision-making as the mice were galloping down the virtual maze.
Once the navigational links were firmly established in the mice's brains over the course of a few weeks, the researchers expected the activity of the neurons to look the same from day to day. During maze runs that occurred within 24 hours of each other that was, indeed, the case. Neurons that activated in response to the white cue could be distinguished from neurons that activated in response to the black cue. However, over the course of several weeks the line between cues in individual neurons blurred, and the memory pattern began to drift across neurons, the researchers observed. A neuron that had been associated with the black cue would lose its specialization and be replaced by another, or it might even become associated with the white cue. This came as a surprise to the researchers.
"We were so sure that the neurons would be doing the same thing every day that we designed the study expecting to use the stable pattern as a baseline," said study first author Laura Driscoll, a graduate student in the Neurobiology Department. "After we realized the neurons were changing roles, we had to rethink parts of the study."
The researchers tested how the pattern changed when they added shapes as a third cue while the mice were navigating the maze. After some reassignment of individual neurons as the mice learned the new cue, the researchers found very little change to the overall activity pattern. This finding supports the idea that neuronal networks that store memories stay flexible in order to incorporate new learning, the researchers say.
The researchers hypothesize that neuronal stability may differ across various brain regions, likely depending on how often the skill or memory they encode needs to be modified. For a task like navigation, which frequently requires the brain to incorporate new information, it would make sense that the neurons remain flexible, Harvey said. However, more instinctual physical responses, such as blinking, may be hardwired with little neuronal drift over time.
The results provide a fascinating early glimpse into the complexities of memory formation, Driscoll said. To elucidate the big picture of memory formation and storage across brain regions, researchers say they hope to study other areas of the brain involved with different types of decision-making and memories.
"I hope this research inspires people to think of memory as something that is not static," Harvey said. "Memories are active and integrally connected to the process of learning."

Bryson suffered a seizure and was involved in two car collisions Saturday.
Commerce Secretary John Bryson, who was involved in two car accidents over the weekend and suffered a seizure, notified President Barack Obama on Monday that he is taking a medical leave of absence, effective immediately.
Bryson's functions and duties have been transferred to Deputy Secretary Rebecca Blank, who will serve as acting secretary of commerce.
"I notified President Obama this evening that effective immediately I am taking a medical leave of absence so that I can focus all of my attention on resolving the health issues that arose over the weekend," Bryson said in a memo addressed to Blank.
"During the period of my illness, I will not perform the functions and duties of my office. Therefore, by operation of law, as my first assistant you will act in my stead for the duration of my absence," he wrote.
Press secretary Jay Carney, who told reporters earlier that the White House was "obviously concerned" by the news of Bryson's accidents and seizure, acknowledged Bryson's leave of absence in a statement to the press.
Bryson's indefinite leave from his post comes less than a year after his nomination was approved by the Senate in October. The secretary had faced pushback from Senate Republicans over issues related to trade agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea. Bringing to the job more than three decades of business experience, Bryson succeeded Gary Locke, the former Washington governor who is the current U.S. ambassador to China.
A graduate of Stanford University and Yale Law School, Bryson was chairman and CEO of Edison International for 18 years. He and his wife, Louise, have four daughters.
The announcement of the medical leave came following Monday's revelation that Bryson, 68, was involved in two car collisions on Saturday in the Los Angeles area, one of which is being treated as a felony hit and run. The Commerce Department said Bryson suffered a seizure, although its timing in relation to the accidents remained unclear.
Bryson's car rear-ended another vehicle in San Gabriel, Calif., around 5 p.m. local time Saturday, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the San Gabriel Police Department. After getting out of his Lexus to speak to the occupants of the Buick, Bryson allegedly drove away, hitting the car one more time as he left the scene. The three men in the Buick reportedly called 911 as they followed his car.

Q: Why is this evaluated to true Can someone please explain me why this line is evaluated to true?
false && (true) ? false : true

I mean, for what i know about boolean arithmetic, false && something is evaluated to false.
Furthermore, this will be evaluated to false, as predicted:
true && (true) ? false : true

A: ?: has lower precedence than && (see the manual) so your expression gets evaluated as
(false && (true)) ? false : true

=>
 false ? false : true

=>
 true

The same applies to your second expression, which is evaluated as
(true && (true)) ? false : true

=>
 true ? false : true

=>
 false

A: Nick's answer already explained it. However, I think its much easier to understand when we think ternary operators (:?) as a short form of if-else operation. Therefore,
false && (true) ? false : true
statement is same as :
if (false && (true)) {
    return false;
} else {
    return true; // the if condition is false, so this will get executed.
}

Since the condition inside the if is false the else block is executed and therefore, true is returned.

Critical Remote Code Execution in SPNEGO, (CVE-2022-37958) effects Windows Protocols like RDP and SMB, Patch now
A critical remote code execution vulnerability has been discovered in the SPNEGO (Simple and Protected GSS-API Negotiation Mechanism) extended negotiation security mechanism. This vulnerability, designated as CVE-2022-37958, has been rated as having a CVSS score of 10, the highest possible severity rating. Microsoft has previously patched the original vulnerability associated with this CVE (Information Disclosure/Low) on its September 13, 2022 Monthly Rollup and on December 13, 2022, the severity rating was raised to a High Severity.
SPNEGO is a security mechanism that is commonly used in web applications to negotiate the authentication and security protocols that will be used to establish secure connections between the web application and its clients. The vulnerability lies in the way that SPNEGO processes specially crafted authentication requests, which can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server hosting the vulnerable web application.
The risks to RDP and SMB are significant, as these protocols are commonly used in businesses and organizations. RDP allows users to remotely connect to and control another computer or device, while SMB is used for file sharing and other network services. If these protocols are not properly secured, an attacker could potentially gain access to a network and cause significant damage.
To protect against this vulnerability, it is important to ensure that all systems that use RDP and SMB are regularly patched and updated. This will help to prevent attackers from exploiting the vulnerability. In addition, it is important to use strong and unique passwords for RDP and SMB connections, and to regularly change these passwords to prevent unauthorized access.
It is also advised to use a virtual private network (VPN) when connecting to RDP, as this will help to encrypt the connection and protect against potential attacks. Additionally, limiting access to RDP and SMB ports and restricting access to only trusted users and devices can also help to reduce the risk of an attack.
The impact of this vulnerability is severe, as it can allow attackers to completely compromise the security of vulnerable web applications and gain full access to sensitive data and system resources. In addition, the vulnerability can be exploited remotely, meaning that attackers do not need to have any access to the network or physical access to the server in order to exploit it.
The vulnerability was discovered by Security Researcher Valentina Palmiotti after discovering the vulnerability could allow attackers to remotely execute code. Security researchers at the CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC), who have released an advisory detailing the issue and providing guidance on how to mitigate it. In their advisory, CERT/CC recommends that organizations using vulnerable versions of SPNEGO should upgrade to a patched version as soon as possible.
https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2022-37958
In addition to patching the vulnerability, organizations should also take steps to protect themselves from potential attacks. This may include implementing network intrusion detection and prevention systems, monitoring network traffic for suspicious activity, and ensuring that web application firewalls are properly configured to block malicious traffic.
Overall, the discovery of this critical remote code execution vulnerability in SPNEGO highlights the need for organizations to keep their security systems up to date and to closely monitor their networks for potential threats. By taking these steps, organizations can help to protect themselves and their sensitive data from the risks posed by this and other vulnerabilities.
There are currently no publicly available exploits for this vulnerability and active exploitation has not been seen in the wild. Red Piranha is closely monitoring any further developments related to this vulnerability through our open and closed Intelligence sharing platforms and will provide additional advisories as necessary.

Last Call: The Shutdown of NYC Bars
The hospitality industry is the artistic heartbeat of New York. Thousands of artists, musicians, and actors flock to Queens to work in the service industry to supplement their dreams. In March of 2020 these dreamers put their lives on hold, self- isolating and sacrificing their income as Queens became the global epicenter of COVID-19. LAST CALL follows two local bars and frontline workers in a tale of two sacrifices that saved not only the lives of thousands but also the future of New York.

The Tragic Tale Of Ichabod Crane
By John Petz
When I sat down to write this I envisioned Ichabod with Jeff Goldblum in mind. However, something went very wrong in my brain box. At some point I was struck with Rowan Atkinson on the brain. Which means, at least in my opinion, Ichabod wound up a bizarre blend of the Blackadder and Mr. Bean, not a pleasant thought, which is why I'm not trying to think about it. Whether you love it or hate it one thing is certain, I had a lot of fun writing it.

ROME, Sept 12 (Reuters) - A man who wrote fake reviews about Italian restaurants and hotels on the online travel site TripAdvisor has been jailed for nine months and ordered to pay an 8,000 euro ($9,300) fine, the company said on Wednesday.
TripAdvisor said in a statement that the sentence was handed down in June by a court in the southern Italian city of Lecce. There was no immediate confirmation from the court.
The man, who was not named, offered to sell glowing reviews to businesses across Italy to bump up their ratings on the TripAdvisor site, which claims hundreds of millions of online visitors each month.
"We see this as a landmark ruling for the Internet," TripAdvisor said. "Writing fake reviews on TripAdvisor has always been a violation of the law in many jurisdictions ... However, this is the first time we have seen the laws being enforced to the point of securing a criminal conviction."
The U.S.-owned company said Italian businesses tipped it off in 2015 that a man was offering to write fake reviews to boost their online profiles.
A subsequent investigation revealed "more than 1,000 attempts" to submit reviews for hundreds of different properties. TripAdvisor said it believes some businesses paid for fake reviews and were subsequently hit with penalties that lowered their all-important popularity rankings.
It added that Italy's Postal and Communications Police had carried out a parallel investigation and had brought the eventual prosecution.

Yesterday, the station announced her replacement. Weekday morning anchor Kelly Chapman has been promoted to the afternoon and evening anchor role.
She will co anchor the 4 p.m. with Max Roth and work alongside anchor Bob Evans for the 5, 5:30 and 9 p.m. newscasts. Evans has been with the station for 23 years.
"Kelly is a dedicated journalist and an outstanding communicator whose personality shines through the screen," said news director Marc Sternfield. "She has been an important part of our successful morning newscast and will be a strong addition to our afternoon and evening news."

Q: Detecting the autoproxy details in Javascript Is it possible to detect and get proxy server name and port in javascript?

A: No. The browser proxy settings are not available from JavaScript running in a web page.
Maybe. The browser proxy settings may be available (in some web browsers) from JavaScript running with elevated permissions (for example, a Firefox add-on).

A: For what it's worth:  While you're asking about JavaScript, getting access to the browser proxy settings even from any kind of browser plug-in such as a Flash or Java applet is also not possible, or at the very least not in any reliable or compliant way.
I mention this only because sometimes such plug-ins provide viable workarounds when JavaScript can't do something ... but here I think you are S.O.L.
Perhaps you could tell us a little bit more about what you are trying to accomplish?  Maybe there's another way to address your needs.


Did you know that time spent indulging your creative impulses can bring you the same benefits of healthy lifestyle as meditating? It's true! When you spend time focusing on creating or enjoying art, music, fictional writing, or poetry you enter a state that mimics the same state you enter when meditating. The result is that your breathing regulates, your muscles relax, and even your digestion is positively impacted.
Anybody can benefit from creative expression. However, people who are feeling sad, depressed, anxious, or overly-stressed should especially consider adding or increasing the creative activity in their lives. How do you nurture your creative side? What if you've never been particularly creative? Don't worry. Everybody has the ability to enhance and increase the time they spend creating and appreciating music, art, and writing. If you need a few suggestions, keep reading. The tips below can help anybody get started.
The possibilities are endless. Remember, your goal isn't perfection. It is to enjoy the process. While you are working on your project, your brain will release a lot of dopamine. This is a brain chemical that acts as a natural anti-depressant.
We all have to eat. For most of us, this means that we also have to cook. One excellent way to enhance your creative side is to add creative element to something you already do. Cooking is a great place to start! You don't need to be a gourmet to get started. Just get creative with flavors, colors, and textures. Even something as simple as baking a cake from a mix can become a creative activity if you use the frosted cake as a canvas for some decorator's icing and sprinkles. When you make a salad, add different fruits and vegetables for more visual appeal, and to add new flavors and textures. Try adding different fruits and berries to make a smoothie. Don't be afraid to experiment! Every attempt may not work perfectly, but you'll benefit from the boost in creativity and the addition of new foods to your diet.
This is no longer a creative outlet reserved for grandmothers. Men, women, children, and teenagers are all discovering the pleasures of creating via knitting and crocheting. One of the benefits of knitting and crocheting is that it is a hobby that is relatively easy to learn, yet, as a person progresses, they can challenge themselves with more complex projects. Knitting and crocheting involves a lot of repetitive motion which has been proven to increase relaxation and your ability to focus. And as a bonus you will get new hand-made clothes which you can also use as a gift. And we all know how joyful it is to give presents!
If you are fortunate enough to live in an area where you have access to art museums, art fairs, sculpture parks, or urban art installations, please make the time to go and look at these exhibits. When you look at art, you engage the parts of your brain that process feelings of pleasure and success. This is even more so when you look at pieces of art that you are not able to immediately understand. Of course, getting out of the house and looking at art has a few additional benefits. You will be out among other people benefiting from socialization, and you'll be getting in a lot of walking, which will help you to stay healthy and happier, as sports evoke the release of dopamine. You can ask your friends go out with you and thus you will have a better mood.
No matter how exactly you decide to increase the presence of creativity in your life, you are going to reap both physical and mental benefits. Of course, this only works if you do it. So, don't wait! Before the day is over, do something creative. Your body and brain will thank you. And all the academic assignments and term papers writing will become much easier for you once you develop your creativity.

Recently, families in the New Parents Education and Support Group at Hudson Hospital enjoyed a morning of Mommy/Daddy and Baby Yoga on July 18 led by instructor, Anna Reis. This program is a wonderful opportunity for moms and dads who want to get into shape while bonding with their babies. Interactive songs and baby massage are incorporated into the yoga poses and activities. There were 20 families attending with a total of 40 participants for this event this morning.
The group meets the 1st and 3rd Tuesday mornings of each month. This ongoing group meets in a relaxed environment and allows families to meet others experiencing similar joys and concerns of parenting while giving and receiving encouragement. Group meetings rotate from general facilitated support discussions to more formal education topics with guest speakers. The group's goals are to help families transition into life with a baby through support, education, and connection to others.

Title: Request to waive the competitive procurement process and purchase a replacement Police/Fire Boat from Metal Shark of Jeanerette, LA.
Appropriate $100,000 to expenditure account 001-1200-521-6403 / Project PDBTRP for police boat replacement.
Appropriate $100,000 to revenue account 001-0000-369-7018 Insurance Recovery (Anticipated through Negotiation with Insurance Carrier).
Staff recommends approval to waive the competitive solicitation process and award this purchase to Metal Shark of Jeanerette, LA.
The City has worked with its insurance broker to obtain recovery for the police boat hull that was damaged in an accident on December 31, 2018.
Procurement was directed to seek pricing from Brunswick Commercial & Government Products and Metal Shark for the replacement of the 24" Brunswick Dauntless hull, removal of salvageable City marine equipment/motor and installation of same on a new boat.
Procurement was notified by Brunswick they are currently under a corporate restructuring and would not be able to submit a response for 4-6 weeks or until the restructure process was complete. The only product they could offer, which is similar to the Brunswick Dauntless, would not accommodate the fire pump, dive door and other features would not be available.
Metal Shark has a model that is comparable with the Brunswick Dauntless 24'. Their offer includes a trade-in for the City's Brunswick Dauntless hull for a total price of $100,000.00.


Henceforth, in developing countries where Nutriset and the IRD have registered a patent, local companies will be able to obtain a "Patent Usage Agreement" in just a few clicks. This agreement will enable them to use the patent to develop and market their own products with humanitarian aid organizations.
This simplified mechanism is consistent with the mutual objective of Nutriset and the IRD of strengthening the nutritional autonomy of countries and populations affected by malnutrition.
Derived from this innovation, Nutriset developed a range of products for the prevention or treatment of different forms of malnutrition: Plumpy'Sup™, Plumpy'Doz™, Plumpy'Soy™, Enov'Nutributter®, QBmix®, etc. The Plumpy® range products are currently massively used by humanitarian organisations and health ministries that aid populations affected by malnutrition. Since their development, it is estimated nearly 7 million children benefitted from the Plumpy® range products.
At the same time Nutriset initiated a network of producers located close to needs, supplying already more than 30% of Plumpy'Nut® used to treat severe acute malnutrition. "Created in 2005, the PlumpyField® network now counts 11 producers and should be manufacturing more than half the Plumpy® range by 2014" specifies Michel Lescanne. In 2010, the cumulative production capacity of Nutriset and network members already reached 55,000 tons per year, while demand remains below 30,000 tons.
The online Patent Usage Agreement announced today will accelerate the availability of innovative and effective products in the fight against malnutrition and will promote the economic development of African countries. The IRD invites beneficiaries of the agreement to contribute 1% of their turnover each year. The revenues resulting from these agreements will be entirely used to implement the IRD's research actions in favour of Southern Countries for the development of the solutions and products of the future. "At the same time the IRD will keep investing several tens of millions of euros each year, encouraging the emergence and reinforcement on location of new research teams or developing innovative technologies and responsible partnerships that systematically associate the economic players of the South", underscores Michel Laurent, chairman of the Institute.
Nutriset requests no financial compensation for this license deeming that its research will be paid for through the sale of its products.
Each day, Nutriset and the IRD contribute to the nutritional independence of vulnerable countries and populations.
