Ein Trio zum Anbeißen ist eine US-amerikanische Fernsehserie, die vom 11. März 1998 bis zum 16. Mai 2001 auf dem Fernsehsender ABC ausgestrahlt wurde. In Deutschland war die Serie erstmals vom 30. Dezember 2000 bis zum 13. Juli 2002 auf VOX zu sehen.

Im Englischen hieß die Serie Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place. In der dritten Staffel wurde die Serie in Two Guys and a Girl umbenannt, da die Pizzeria, in der Pete und Berg gearbeitet hatten, keine Rolle mehr in der Serie spielte.

Charaktere

Michael Bergen (Ryan Reynolds), von allen "Berg" genannt, will Medizin studieren. Bis es soweit ist, nimmt er an fragwürdigen Experimenten teil. Er testet z. B. Allergiemedikamente, sprechende Marathon-Schuhe und Cremes mit hohen Östrogenanteilen, die ihn dazu bringen, bei der geringsten Kleinigkeit in Tränen auszubrechen. Neben seinem Studium arbeitet er zusammen mit seinem Mitbewohner und besten Freund Pete in Bills "Beacon Street Pizza". Wenn ihm langweilig ist, mischt er sich gerne in Petes Angelegenheiten ein, was letztlich nicht immer gut geht.

Peter "Pete" Dunville (Richard Ruccolo) ist Bergs Mitbewohner und bester Freund. Er studiert Architektur, ist sich aber nicht sicher, ob er diesen Beruf auch wirklich ausüben will. Als er später entscheidet, das Studium aufzugeben, jobbt er zunächst in der Pizzeria und wird später Sportberichterstatter, wobei er kläglich scheitert, dann Chauffeur. Letztendlich findet er sein Glück bei der Feuerwehr.

Sharon Carter (Traylor Howard) ist die beste Freundin von Pete und Berg. In ihrer Jugendzeit war sie Umweltaktivistin, aber arbeitet jetzt als Pressesprecherin für einen Konzern, der die Umwelt verschmutzt. Sie ist um keine Antwort verlegen und ehrlich – zumindest im Privatleben.

Johnny Donnelly (Nathan Fillion) taucht erstmals in der 2. Staffel auf. Er ist Sharons neuer Freund, der jedoch von Pete und Berg abgelehnt wird, da sie ihn für dumm halten. Sharon und er heiraten schließlich nach einigen Problemen und ziehen in ein eigenes Haus.

Ashley Walker (Suzanne Cryer) ist eine Kommilitonin von Berg. Beide verbindet eine gegenseitige Abneigung, da Berg nicht ertragen kann, dass sie bessere Noten hat als er. Auch Pete und Sharon mögen Ashley nicht, da sie alles direkt sagt und sehr beleidigend ist. Im Laufe der Serie werden sie und Berg ein Paar. Jedoch ist Ashley noch verheiratet und Berg muss wieder für eine gemeinsame Beziehung kämpfen. Nachdem Berg Ashley wieder für sich gewinnen konnte, zieht sie bei ihm ein. Doch auch das ist nicht von langer Dauer. Nach der erneuten Trennung wird sie Untermieterin bei Sharon und Johnny. Gegen Ende der Serie kommt sie schließlich mit Pete zusammen.

Irene (Jillian Bach) ist die etwas verrückte Nachbarin von Pete und Berg. Ihre Zeit widmet sie mit Vorliebe ihren Katzen. Nachdem Pete ihr einen Gefallen getan hat, glaubt sie, dass er in sie verliebt sei. Pete kann sie jedoch nicht vom Gegenteil überzeugen und sie stellt ihm unentwegt nach. Sie lässt Pete erst in Ruhe, als sie sich in Berg verliebt. Berg und Irene werden schließlich ein Paar.

Bill (Julius Carry) ist der Besitzer der Pizzeria "Beacon Street Pizza" und der Chef von Pete und Berg. Er muss sich ständig die Probleme von Pete und Berg anhören und hat große Schwierigkeiten dabei, die beiden zum Arbeiten zu bewegen.

Melissa (Jennifer Westfeldt) ist in der ersten Staffel Petes Freundin. Eigentlich will Pete mit ihr Schluss machen, aber überlegt es sich dann doch noch anders. Als er ihr aber deutlich macht, dass er kein Interesse daran hat, mit ihr zusammenzuziehen, kommt es zur Trennung.

Mr. Bauer (David Ogden Stiers) ist Dauergast in der "Beacon Street Pizza". Er ist geistig etwas verwirrt und will den Gästen immer wieder Geschichten aus seinem bewegten Leben erzählen. Jedoch handelt es sich dabei um Handlungsstränge aus berühmten Filmklassikern.

Besetzung

How to change the ownership of a house
We were having a drink together with the building workers as one of the property that we had designed and managed was finally completed and ready to be handed over.
The client, a young vivacious business Expat spitted out after the first glass of wine if I knew how much it will cost to add a new co-owner to the house deeds. Apparently he just met the love of his life (three month ago) and wanted to incorporate this person as co-owner of the property.
After the initial commentaries about how sure he was about it etc, I did mentioned that it would not cost much but in any case I would carry out some research on the subject and provide him with an approximate cost, recommending however to get in touch with a solicitor to carry out the process.
Very expensive and complicated.
After I concluded the research on the matter however, I had to admit that the cost and complexity of changing the ownership of a house was more, much more costly of what I had anticipated.
Not all legal forms are economically viable when incorporating a spouse as joint owner in the deeds of a house. However, it isn't so because of the costs and the procedures involved. Counting only notaries expenses, lawyers and the process itself to change ownership at the Property Registry, you can be over 1,000 Euros out of pocket. In addition, the dissimilar taxation in the different regional community where the operation is performed could raise the final sum up to 25,000 Euros, being the house of similar characteristics but in different geographical location.
There are two ways to introduce a wife/husband in the deeds of a house; through a sale or donation?
Whatever the choice, he or she, at the time of starting the process, becomes either 'buyers', in the first case, or 'donor' in the second. In the latter case, being married or not may have implications for tax calculation, since the character of 'not been a family member' increases the taxation rate.
Purchase of the property.
Of the two existing two options of introducing a couple in the ownership of the property through a purchase or donation, the first is often the most economical for both parties. Expenses such as notary fees are shared, although the remaining expenses fluctuate depending on whether we are referring to a buyer or a seller.
The buyer must cope with changing the ownership in the deeds at the Land Registry, although this process usually can be done by the notary himself. But the more onerous disbursement to be assumed by the buyer is the Transfer Tax (ITP), which taxes 7% of the final amount of the sale. In addition, it must be shown beyond any doubt before the notary the agreed form of payment.
Expenses such as notary fees are shared, although the remaining costs vary depending on whether is a buyer or seller.
For the seller, apart from sharing notary expenses, must also face the payment of Municipal Value of Land Tax Increase (IMIVIT), better known as the "Plusvalía Municipal". You will also have to pay 18% income tax on the difference between the transfer value and the acquisition cost. The financial amounts of these payments vary, in the first case, according to the municipality and the assessed land value of the property and in the second, depending on the price of the property.
Donation.
The other possibility for introducing the couple as a co-owner in the deeds is by bequest part of the ownership. Some procedures matches that performed in the process of buying and selling, as the notary and the Land Registry expenses are similar. But keep in mind that the Tax Donations could make the operation much more expensive. The minimum to be paid will be 7.65% of the purchase price of the property and can reach up to 34%.
The higher the heritage amount, the more that has to be paid.
But also, to the figure that it is obtained after applying the percentage that it is assigned a number of multipliers had to be incorporated, which vary according to the relationship of the protagonists and the existing heritage of whom receives the gift. If the degree is direct, i.e. between parents and children or spouse, the figure is multiplied by one. While if you want to include in the deeds a girlfriend (as this was the case), it should be multiplied by two. And this is because one member of an unmarried couple is considered a 'stranger' so it would be cheaper to wed first and then carry out the donation.
The amount also depends on the autonomous community in which they are domiciled, since in certain Spanish communities living together it is considered the same as a marriage. But this tax also takes into account the existing assets of the person who is donating the house. The lower section is to 390,657.87 Euros. The higher the heritage of whom receives it, the more that will have to be paid.
Before an operation of this magnitude is initiated and provided the amount of paperwork required I highly recommend using an expert on the subject of course.

How did ignoring people for our smartphones become the norm?
by University of Kent
Credit: Peter Griffin/Public Domain
It's common now to see people snubbing social companions to concentrate on their smartphone. But what causes this behaviour - known as 'phubbing' - and how did it come to be regarded as normal?
Research from psychologists at the University of Kent suggests people's internet addiction is leading them increasingly to 'phub' - and experience being 'phubbed' - in social situations. This, in turn, leads them to view this phubbing behaviour as normal.
The research, by Varoth Chotpitayasunondh and Professor Karen Douglas from the University's School of Psychology, identified a number of factors that were linked to smartphone addiction. These were internet addiction, a fear of missing out and a lack of self-control.
This smartphone addiction, in turn, was directly linked to people demonstrating phubbing behaviour. The researchers further found that it was this experience of phubbing - and of being phubbed themselves - that made people more likely to think that phubbing was 'normal' behaviour.
The research, thought to be the first to consider both the causes and consequences of this modern-day phenomena, is likely to lead to further investigations of the impact of phubbing on the quality of social interaction.
It is published as How "phubbing" becomes the norm: The antecedents and consequences of snubbing via smartphone in the journal Computers in Human Behaviour.

We stayed at the Barn for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. The Barn is beautifully decorated and is very comfortable. Anne is very helpful and had stocked the kitchen with essentials including some of the nicest bread I have ever eaten. There are lots of places to visit in the area and we would definitely stay here again.
The Kilcootry Barn was superb! We rented the "barn" to provide extra room for my family while visiting family in the area, however far from being just additional space for us, the accommodations and our host Anne, were one of the highlights of the trip. Anne goes far and above to make you feel welcome, and is a pure delight. All the rooms are absolutely beautifully decorated and all modern conveniences have been thought of and provided. The photos while beautiful, don't do justice to the beautiful accommodations and surroundings. We look so forward to visiting again in the future. Thank you Anne for everything!


1. Bacterial cell suspension preparation. The cultures were centrifuged at 2000g for 10 min, and the cells were washed with saline and resuspended in phosphate buffer (0.02 M, pH 6.8) to a final concentration of 1 x 109 CFU/mL (see Note 2).
2. Salt aggregation assay. The aggregating properties of lactobacilli in (NH4)2SO4 were tested by mixing on a glass slide 25 ^L of the bacterial suspension and the same volume of each one of the salt solutions. They were mixed with a circular movement for 2 min, and the formation of aggregates was observed.
A negative control was prepared to compare the characteristics of the bacterial suspension with and without (NH4)2SO4. The control was prepared by mixing 25 ^L of the bacterial suspension with 25 ^L of phosphate buffer 0.02 M, pH 6.8 (see Note 3). A positive control was prepared by mixing the same volume of bacterial suspension and 25 ^L of the 4 M (NH4)2SO4 solution. The results of the SAT were expressed as positive or negative, indicating the salt concentration. Bacteria that were able to form aggregates even after mixing with diluted (NH4)2SO4 solutions were termed highly aggregating. Lactobacilli that were able to aggregate in the presence or absence of (NH4)2SO4 were termed as self-aggregating.


Khong is the latest from The Yardbird head honcho, who lived three years in the legit parts of Thailand in which Jack from Lost never got a tattoo from Bai Ling, and used what he saw there to create a double-decker shrine that's lined with Southeast Asia crate wood & brick, and serves some seriously legit eats. The downstairs dining room is full of these bamboo lighting fixtures, which're actually Thai fish traps. And these chairs are made of fishing boats. The glass is made of glass. The menu's crazy-traditional (they don't even give you knives unless you ask!), and includes these Burmese fresh noodle wraps with red chili, roasted peanuts, and a palm sugar/lemon juice/cilantro concoction. This spicy, aged-pork / ginger salad comes with fried curried rice balls. Eddy would eat like 700 bowls of this Northeastern Style Jungle Curry: giant chunks of chicken soaked in rhizome broth, peppercorns, baby corn, shrooms, Thai eggplant, and lemon basil leaves. Seared ribeye that's been spice-rubbed. It's what you really, really want. There's even more seating in the back. Including secluded private dining rooms separated by more Thai crate wood. There must be, like, no crate wood left in Thailand. These stairs are lined with Thai motorcycle license plates. And lead to a hidden upstairs dining room that'll double as a late-night lounge. Reward yourself for finding it with an Orange Chang w/ a Hangar One Mandarin, Aperol, Benedictine & OJ.


Love wings? Try this heart-healthy way to make them (don't worry, they taste just as good). Serve them as an appetizer or snack on game day.
In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper sauce, 1 teaspoon cider vinegar, the garlic powder and the ginger. Add drummettes; toss to coat.
Arrange drummettes on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink, turning once. Drizzle chicken with an additional 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper sauce and 1 teaspoon cider vinegar.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl stir together sour cream, blue cheese, green onion, white wine vinegar, lemon juice and sugar. Serve dressing with chicken drummettes and carrot and celery sticks.
* You can make a healthier version by skinning the chicken wings before tossing them in the sauce. To do so, grasp the edge of the skin with a paper towel and pull it away from the drummette.
If you can't find chicken drummettes, use 12 chicken wings. Cut off the wing tips; discard or save for making stock. Cut wings at joints to form 24 pieces.

Q: What is the one dimensional analog of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem and the Euler characteristic? The Gauss-Bonnet theorem has to do with surfaces. Its generalization has to do with $2n$ ($n$ being an integer) manifilolds.
Is there an analog in one dimension with closed curves?
If there exists one such analog, then what is the geometrical interpretation of the analog of the Euler characteristic?

There is no permanent cure for Delayed Sleep-Phase Syndrome or Non-24-hour Sleep-Wake Disorder. The suggested treatments only provide ways to try to manage the condition. Often, several of these treatments are used together. They can be successful, at least partially, with some patients. But for others there is no improvement, and social and work patterns must be adjusted to accommodate the delayed schedule of the patient, or physical deterioration and mental dysfunction results. Even when one's sleep time can be shifted, there is often an impact on mental functioning.
Disclaimer: We simply post suggestions we receive from patients. We do not have first-hand knowledge of these doctors, and cannot be held responsible for bad suggestions or errors in posted information.
if you find errors or broken links, or if you have a good sleep specialist to suggest.
The prerequisite step in any case is to follow good "sleep hygiene", although for people with DSPS or Non-24 this is generally not sufficient to normalize their schedule.
Have a comfortable bedroom, dark and quiet. If light is a problem, use heavy curtains over the windows.
Reserve the bedroom for sleeping. Do not use it for watching TV.
Avoid caffeine within 6 - 8 hours of bedtime.
Avoid alcohol: while alcohol may help one to fall asleep initially, it generally causes the restorative quality of sleep to suffer.
Avoid computer screens and phone screens shortly before bed.
Do not do any serious exercise for three hours before bedtime.
Relax for a while before going to sleep.
Avoid naps in the evening.
Go to bed at the same time every night, and get up at the same time every day, seven days a week, so that your body has a better chance of adapting to the desired schedule. This is of particular importance for people with circadian sleep disorders.
The most successful method of shifting one's sleep schedule seems to be exposure to bright light first thing in the morning. This can be achieved by going out in the sunlight, or by sitting in front of a bright light designed for this purpose (typical room lighting is not nearly bright enough). Such lights are also used for treating Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), and are commercially available (see list below). It is important to use a light that has the ultraviolet components filtered out, or eye damage can result.
Recommended exposure is 10,000 lux for between ½ and 2 hours. The 10,000 lux is important. Lower intensity requires much longer exposure. It is important to note that the intensity is a function of how far your eyes are from the light: sit twice as far away, and the intensity is typically only one quarter as much! (see our Introduction to Lux.) The commercially available lights intended for this purpose are rated, for example "10,000 lux at 12 inches". In that case your eyes should be 12 inches from the light. It is meaningless to say a particular light "is" 10,000 lux. It is only that bright at some particular distance. Needless to say, the light must fall on your eyes, though you do not have to look directly into it.
The timing of the light exposure is critical. There is a point during the body's sleeping period, such that exposure before that time (for example in the evening) will delay the sleep cycle even further, but exposure after that time (in the morning) will advance it (move it earlier). The closer to that time one gets the light, the more effective it is. The general rule is to sit in front of the light immediately on arising. Some have suggested getting up an hour earlier to sit in front of the light, and then going back to sleep. The exact effect of light at different times of the day is expressed by the Phase Response Curve (PRC), which is described here, and in the delayed2sleep blog.
We are being sloppy when we say "first thing in the morning". Is this "morning" as society defines it, for people with daytime jobs? Or is this your body's idea of "morning", which might be at 2:00 pm for many DSPS people? Many doctors gloss over this also. Basically, it is not a good idea to use the lights many hours before your natural wake time, because that risks exposure at a time when it can delay your body clock even further. Instead, move your rise time gradually. For example, get up an hour before your natural rise time and use the lights. Stay on this schedule for several days until your body adjusts to the new rise time. Once you feel comfortable with this, go another hour earlier.
For sighted non-24 people it would make the most sense to wait until your natural sleep cycle rolls around to where you want it to be, and then start using light therapy when you get up.
How effective is this treatment? Many have reported sufficient improvement that they are able to function reasonably well on a traditional 9-to-5 work schedule. Others find that after a while on a normal schedule they seem disoriented, disconnected from the world. Some find it helps partially, and are able to advance their schedule an hour or two but not more. It is possible that some non-24 people might find it easier to entrain to a 24 hour cycle that is later in the day, rather than society's conventional daytime hours.
In addition, some people report side effects, such as feeling hyperactive after the light exposure. Shortening the exposure may fix that. Others report eye pain or puffiness, or headaches, including migraines. These people must move the therapy to a later time, where it is less effective, or abandon it entirely.
Are there long-term risks? Some researchers have raised the possibility that exposure to bright light containing blue wavelengths (which are needed to reset the body clock) may increase the risk of macular degeneration. This would be more of a problem for older people who may have less of the compounds that normally protect against damage. To our knowledge, such increased risk has not been shown in humans. Research is ongoing.
Akash, M, Soma, H, Yamamoto, T, et al, Noninvasive method for assessing the human circadian clock using hair follicle cells (2010) - notes that "the 3-wk adaptation period is not enough to advance the phase of the molecular clock by 4 h"
Many people are extremely sensitive to evening light, so that even low levels of blue or blue-green light late in their day can delay their circadian clock. This includes the light from a TV or computer screen. These people find they may be able to get to sleep earlier if they restrict their exposure to light for several hours before bedtime. Some find it necessary to have only very dim lighting in their homes, and to avoid any exposure to TV or computer or phone screens. It is thought that even brief exposure to light during this time may have outsized effects for these people.
Another strategy is to filter out the blue light which is primarily responsible for shifting the body's clock, for several hours before bedtime. This can be done by wearing blue-blocking glasses. Computer screens can be covered with a screen that filters out blue light, such as ruby lith. There is also software that removes some of the blue from your computer screen at night. One such program is called f.lux.
Current research strongly suggests that light therapy should be combined with dark therapy for it to be effective.
Reading Glasses Etc - look for "BPI 500"
Most of these still have some blue, so they are not recommended as part of serious dark therapy, but they may be of interest in automatically reducing exposure to blue wavelengths at night. We have not evaluated these products.
Melatonin is a hormone produced naturally by the pineal gland in the brain. Its concentration varies in a daily cycle, and is higher during the hours of sleep, and lower during wakefulness.
Melatonin has typically been recommended by doctors to assist in advancing (making earlier) people's sleep times. The usual timing is to take it from ½ to 2 hours before the desired sleep time. Recommended dose is typically between 1 and 3 mg, and some doctors prescribe even higher doses. But some people appear to achieve useful effects with as little as 0.1 mg (100 micrograms), and may experience a hangover on higher doses. Both the timing and the dose need to be adjusted on an individual basis, as the same dose in different people can give rise to 35-fold differences in blood level (see the Aldhous and the Waldhauser references below).
Emens and Eastman (reference below) note, "Higher doses of melatonin result in elevated melatonin levels for many hours and can simultaneously stimulate both the phase advance and phase delay regions of the melatonin PRCs, thereby causing both phase advances and phase delays and ultimately resulting in a smaller net resetting effect."
But research indicates that to be most effective in advancing one's circadian rhythm one should take it much earlier, and in doses small enough not to feel sleepy right away. Four to eight hours before desired sleep time has been reported as optimal. We note that there are two effects of melatonin on sleep: it makes you sleepy (hypnotic effect) and it advances your circadian rhythm (chronobiotic effect). Used as a hypnotic, one takes it shortly before desired sleep time. But used as a chronobiotic, it may be more effective if taken earlier.
For DSPD, the recommendation is to start on your body's natural schedule, taking melatonin 4 - 8 hours before your natural bedtime. If you then get tired earlier, move your schedule an hour earlier and take the melatonin an hour earlier. Let it stabilize. Then move another hour earlier. Keep doing this until you achieve your desired schedule. For people with non-24 it makes the most sense to wait until your natural sleep cycle rolls around to where you want it to be, and then start using melatonin 4 - 8 hours before bedtime.
Many people report side effects from taking melatonin, especially with the larger doses. Some feel groggy and hung over the next day. Nightmares, vivid dreams and depression are often noted. A few report migraine attacks or other mood changes. In these cases, lowering the dose may minimize the side effect. A few people report increased restlessness and poor sleep. For them this therapy may have little value. Also, there is little data on long-term effects. For example, it is not known whether taking melatonin for years would make it difficult to fall asleep without it.
Melatonin is illegal in some countries. In some others it may be available only on a specialist's prescription. In the United States it is legal and available over the counter, but it is unregulated. Buy from a respected manufacturer to be sure you are getting what is on the label. In some European countries it may be difficult to obtain by prescription, but may be available without a prescription as a "dietary supplement".
Note that while melatonin may be of help in shifting one's circadian rhythms, this is not true of many commonly prescribed sleeping pills. In addition, most other sleeping pills result in habituation, a lessened effect for the same dose, after taking them for a period of time.
Tasimelteon (Hetlioz®) - FDA (US) approved 2014 for the treatment of adults with non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder. The (U.S.) FDA prescribing information (https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2014/205677s000lbl.pdf) does not restrict its use to blind patients.
Also Circadin®, a 2 mg prolonged release form of melatonin, was approved in Europe in 2010 for use for 13 weeks for insomnia patients over 55 years of age.
Caution: melatonin supplements may worsen nocturnal asthma. See this WebMD article, based on research by Sutherland et al referenced below.
We have not used or evaluated these sources. We list them alphabetically. Note that other doses may be available if you look further.
We have not used or evaluated these sources. See your doctor to order these tests.
Over half of all totally blind (no light perception) people suffer from non-24. Since light is the major contributor to entrainment in sighted individuals, it seems clear that the blindness itself is the underlying cause of non-24 in the blind. This is in contrast to sighted non-24, where several underlying causes have been proposed, but none are well understood.
For those without any light perception it must be expected that light therapy and evening light restriction are not relevant. The main remaining treatment is melatonin and melatonin agonists. See the discussion and references in the previous section.
Experience has shown that it is often not possible for a person with DSPS to shift his sleep time earlier, at least not as much earlier as desired, even with bright light and melatonin. In the most common form of chronotherapy he is asked to shift his sleep time later instead. Typically, sleep time is shifted three hours later each day, all the way around the clock, until the desired schedule is reached. This procedure seems achievable for the patient, but he will be living a very unusual schedule during the process, and generally would require some time off from work.
The real difficulty comes with sticking to the new schedule. The patient must rigorously maintain the new schedule, seven days a week, for as long as he wants to be on it. Any delay in getting to bed, even for one night, is likely to allow his body clock to shift later, and make it difficult to impossible to shift earlier again. This then necessitates repeating the whole around-the-clock process again.
As a result, there are no late nights out with friends, no staying up with a sick child, no burning the midnight oil trying to meet a school or work deadline. In practice, most people find such an exacting schedule impossible to adhere to in the long run, and so the chronotherapy ultimately fails.
Additionally, some DSPS people find that the early (for them) schedule feels unnatural and disorienting, and they cannot perform their best work while on such a schedule.
WARNING: There is data (see the Oren reference below) indicating that phase-delay chronotherapy for DSPS can lead to Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder, which may be far more difficult to live with. In other words, where one has started with a delayed schedule which is the same every day, one may end up with a schedule that shifts later and later every day, around the clock. Where one initially could work a night job but not a day job, one can no longer work any job that requires regular hours. This is further supported by the Scheer reference and discussed in the Fadden video and document.
Note: we have used the term phase-delay chronotherapy to emphasize that it is chronotherapy in the very specific sense introduced in the Czeisler paper (below), and used for example in Section 12.4.1 of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine review paper (2007). In this sense the sleep schedule is progressively delayed until the desired sleep time has been reached. Some authors have used the term "chronotherapy" by itself to mean any prescribed procedure for resetting the body clock. Additionally, the term is sometimes used to refer to administration of medication or other therapy in accordance with the patient's circadian rhythm. We are sorry for this confusion.
Another approach has also been reported, called Sleep Deprivation Phase Advance. This involves staying up around the clock and then going to bed 90 minutes earlier than the patient's previous sleep time. Let the new time stabilize, and repeat. The same difficulties maintaining the new schedule apply. There is disagreement on whether this approach is suitable, as there is evidence that sleep deprivation may actually cause further phase delay (see e.g. the Cajochen article below).
Some doctors prescribe hypnotics ("sleeping pills") to help patients fall asleep at their desired time. Examples of these are Ambien (zolpidem), Lunesta (eszopiclone), and Sonata (zaleplon).
While these may help patients feel better, they are not an effective long-term treatment. Many patients report habituation, needing to increase the dose after a while to continue achieving the same effect. Even in the short term there is little information on dosage and timing needed to produce a circadian phase shift. There is also some question whether a hypnotic, taken at a time that's not in sync with your circadian rhythm, provides restorative sleep.
Suvorexant is a new type of sleeping pill, with a different mechanism of action (see the reference below). We have no further insight at this time.
Stimulants may also be prescribed to increase alertness during the day. These include Provigil (modafinil), Nuvigil (armodafinil), or Ritalin (methylphenidate). Their use in shifting circadian rhythm is not well studied, and they are not normally prescribed for this purpose.
Some patients have symptoms of hypersomnia as well as a circadian rhythm disorder, and for them using a stimulant medication may be particularly important..
Some have suggested large doses of vitamin B12. One of our members discusses the history of this here. Others have mentioned acupuncture. Other medications have been tried as well, for example aripiprazole (Abilify). Exercise can shift the clock too. We have not evaluated any of these.
A lot of people are helped by the treatments above. But treatment does not work for everyone. Here are some thoughts on Why Treatment May Not Work For You. People for whom treatment is ineffective often deal with their circadian rhythm disorders by sleeping on their body's natural schedule, finding a career or lifestyle in which they can do so.

Choir heading to NE campus for fall concert
Victoria Mcginty, Staff writer
For many years, the Mercyhurst Concert Choir has been bringing together a variety of singers from numerous walks of life, majors and musical abilities to perform choral pieces.
On Oct. 23 at 7 p.m., the Mercyhurst Concert Choir is set to journey to the Mercyhurst Nort East campus to showcase a variety of pieces the choir has been working on since late August.
This concert will take place in St. Mary's Chapel.
This concert, "Music for an Autumn Evening" will be the first choir concert of the 2019-2020 year, although the choir did provide music as the prelude to the Mass of the Holy Spirit.
Combining sacred and secular selections, the concert choir ultimately hopes to instill a blend of faith and culture to the Mercyhurst community.
Under the direction of C. Thomas Brooks, the group now includes 50 singers.
Brooks first directed the choir back in 1972, embarked on other opportunities in 1974 and later returned to Mercyhurst in 2017.
When discussing the present state of the choir, Brooks heavily stressed the importance of having a balance of both sacred and secular pieces on the program.
He wants to challenge his students to establish personal and musical growth.
"When it comes to music, my goal is to go deeper into the text of the pieces and be able to identify the deeper symbols enrooted in the music," said Brooks.
To start off the concert choir's two-act performance, the choir will sing "Hodie Christus Natus Est" by Giovanni Bassano, a 16th-century Italian composer.
The sacred half of the performance will include "Cantate Domino" by Giovanni Croce and "Heilig" by Felix Mendelssohn.
Audience members who were in attendance at the Mass of the Holy Spirit will recognize René Clausen's "Set Me As a Seal" and a setting of "The Prayer of Saint Francis," as well as John Leavitt's "Festival Sanctus."
Following the sacred half of the concert, Mercyhurst's Chamber Choir will perform pieces including "You Are the New Day" as performed by The King's Singers and "The Blue Bird" by Charles Villiers Stanford.
The Concert Choir will then finish the performance with selections including "This Little Light of Mine."
The concert is free and open to the public.
For more information, contact Patti Sullivan at psullivan@mercyhurst.edu or 814-725-6277.

What's New at Disney World in 2016
United States Florida Walt Disney World
All Walt Disney World
Look for unexpected surprises and delights this year and next!
Dawn Henthorn
Dawn Henthorn is a lifelong Florida resident and travel expert, former editor of Wire to Wire and Horse Racing Digest, and a journalist for Orlando Family Magazine.
Walt Disney World News / Matt Stroshane
One thing is always constant at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida... that's change. Here's what's new and what's back by popular demand...
Before you Go Information
In case you missed it, Disney World quietly raised their ticket prices again on October 4, 2015. The bad news is a one day ticket now costs $105 for the Magic Kingdom! The good news is the more days you buy, the less it costs you per day — stay 10 days and get in the parks for only $36.50 per day (Park Hopper fees are additional). Also, it will cost you $2 more to park — from $15 to $17 a day!
New 2016 Dates Announced
New dates for some of Disney World's most popular events have been announced. Why not make plans now to attend?
Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival - March 2 thru May 30, 2016
Night of Joy - Early September (2016 Dates To Be Announced)
Epcot International Food & Wine Festival - September thru November (2016 Dates TBA)
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party - Select Nights (TBA) in September thru October
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party - Select Nights (TBA) in November thru December
If you haven't been to Disney World in a while you'll be surprised at all the new attractions and major theme park makeovers, but the best may be yet to come in 2016. Just imagine...
One of Disney World's biggest transformations has been Downtown Disney morphing into Disney Springs. Even more new eateries and shops are set to open at the waterfront entertainment and shopping district in 2016
Explore the Galaxy at the newly opened Star Wars Launch Bay located in the Animation Courtyard of Disney's Hollywood Studios. Also, new fireworks Symphony in the Stars: A Galactic Spectacular set to Star Wars music will light up the sky over Disney's Hollywood Studios.
In the Spring, 2016, a spectacular evening light show, Rivers of Light will debut at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Frozen fan will be delighted with the planned Frozen Ever After attraction set to open during the Spring of 2016 at Epcot's Norway Pavilion.
The popular ride Soarin' just closed January 4, 2016. It is leaving the skies of California behind and will reopen sometime the summer of 2016 with a new name, Soarin' Around the World, and feature some of the world's most unique natural landscapes and man-made wonders.
A change that hasn't been popular at all with Star Wars' fans is the elimination of Disney's Star Wars Weekends. The popular event usually held in May is dropping off the galactic radar as Disney plans to break ground on its Star Wars Land themed area in early 2016. It is reported that the planned expansion at Disney's Hollywood Studios will cover about 14 acres.
Due to its popularity, Night of Joy will be expanding and changing venues. Previously held exclusively at Disney's Magic Kingdom, the event's concerts will move to the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex where Christian songsters will perform on indoor and outdoor concert stages. The event will also include admission to the Magic Kingdom for fun and fellowship among concert-goers.
Disney's Festival of the Masters will again be canceled in 2016 due to the construction going on at the previous Downtown Disney.
Attraction Updates
Just in case you missed these changes:
The Festival of the Lion King show reopened mid-summer 2014 at an all-new theater in the Africa section of the Animal Kingdom.
A completely reimagined Test Track returned to Epcot in the fall of 2012.
America's Bowling Alley, Splitsville, opened in Downtown Disney in the fall of 2012.
Star Tours re-opened May 20, 2011, to rave reviews. Its experience has been enhanced and now provides over 50 ride combinations, so riders will likely see something new every time they ride.
Cinderella's Golden Carrousel now has a new "princely" name!
The Main Street Electrical Parade will be staying on at Disney's Magic Kingdom indefinitely.
In July 2011, the classic musical spectacular "Captain EO" returned to Epcot. Captain EO, featuring Michael Jackson, replaced "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience." Captain EO was shown for the last time December 6, 2015.
Rapunzel, along with Flynn Rider from the upcoming Walt Disney Pictures animated feature "Tangled," are now greeting guests of all ages in a new interactive "play and greet" offering in Fairytale Garden in Fantasyland at Disney's Magic Kingdom.
Fantasy becomes a reality at Disney's Princess Fairytale Hall in Fantasyland. Loyal subjects big and small can visit either Cinderella or Rapunzel and their princes's friends in their royal chambers where guests can get autographs and photos!
Important Past Year's Changes
Disney World began testing MyMagic+ early in 2014 with Walt Disney World Resort guests. MyMagic+ will be making the guest experience easier — from vacation planning with MyDisneyExperience.com to theme park visits made easier with MagicBands and FastPass+.
While the magical transformation at the Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland opened in late 2012, and it has been completed with the opening of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train which rolled out in spring 2015.
April 2014 began Anna and Elsa's move from Epcot to Disney's Magic Kingdom. The princesses from Disney's popular "Frozen" will appear together on a daily basis at Disney's new Princess Fairytale Hall in Fantasyland. Cinderella and Rapunzel will continue their royal meet and greets there as well. This is a FastPass+ attraction.
Disney World opened its one-of-a-kind pet facility that will provide pet hospitality services including boarding, grooming and doggy day camp with amenities such as luxury suites with television and raised bedding. Your pet can participate in activities that will feature nature walks and playgroups, plus pampering services will range from ice cream treats to bedtime stories. The luxury pet resort is operated by Best Friends Pet Care.
If you haven't experienced the Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland in the last year, the newly imagined land features an expanded "Dumbo the Flying Elephant," ride (now there are two Dumbos), as well as the air-conditioned, indoor, interactive area that serves the double attraction with a circus theme. Also, open is the Under the Sea~Journey of the Little Mermaid, Enchanted Tales with Belle and Ariel's Grotto; and, the Casey Jr. Splash 'N' Soak Station will cool you off in the summer heat.
A 900-acre luxury resort Four Seasons hotel, developed along the northeast border of Disney World property opened in the summer of 2014. Anchored by the hotel, the development will also include an 18-hole championship golf course, single- and multi-family vacation homes and fractional ownership vacation homes.

Q: Creating an IFrame in sencha Well I'm trying to add an IFrame to a tab bar using sencha/ext6 modern.
Currently my try is to have a tab bar like:
Ext.define('Heren5Frontend.view.main.Main', {
    extend: 'Ext.tab.Panel',
    xtype: 'app-main',

    controller: 'main',
    viewModel: 'main',

    defaults: {
        tab: {
            iconAlign: 'top'
        }
    },

    tabBarPosition: 'top',

    items: [{
            title: 'Aanmelden wedstrijd',
            //iconCls: 'x-fa fa-users',
            items:[{
                xtype: "attendenceframe",
                id: "frameId",
                src: "http://google.com",
            }]
        }
    ]
});

With the frame as:
Ext.define('Heren5.view.main.AttendenceFrame', {
    extend: 'Ext.ux.IFrame',
    xtype: 'attendenceframe',
    requires: [
        'Ext.ux.IFrame',
    ],
});

This however fails, since the namespace isn't found. Updating app.json should make it work?
"requires": [
    "font-awesome",
    "ext-ux"
],

However this still fails with the error message at building:
[ERR] BUILD FAILED
[ERR] com.sencha.exceptions.ExNotFound: Unknown definition for dependency : Ext.ux.IFrame
[ERR]   at or
[ERR] g.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTarget(Project.java:1368)

A: Ext.ux.IFrame is not part of the modern toolkit. If you check the documentation, you see that Ext.ux.IFrame is marked with a [C] (classic) in the search, and not with an [M] (modern). It seems there is no similar component available for the modern toolkit.
You can try whether copying over the code into your project resolves the issue.

Who can forget the hostility during the 2016 election? The battle between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump caused the ends of friendships, strained family relationships, and set the tone for an angry new "normal" in the United States. And Steve Bannon, who was in the thick of the fray, predicts that this next election will be even worse … and that the problems will start this year, in 2019.
If you're not familiar with Bannon, he was formerly the executive chairman of Breitbart News, a conservative news website (and many say it's not just conservative, but alt-right.) During the last election, Bannon left Breitbart to take on the role of chief executive of the Trump campaign. That role evolved into the position of chief strategist and senior counselor of the newly elected president.
Before we get any deeper into the article, let me preface it with the fact that I'm neither a Republican nor a Democrat. I was not satisfied with any of the candidates put forth during the previous election. However, when Trump won, I vowed to cover all news about him fairly.
This article isn't really about politics, though. It's about people.
The previous election saw Democrats and Republicans turn up the heat to an extent not seen in recent history. And the advent of social media made it so that you couldn't get away from the opinions of your friends, family members, and coworkers.
People passionately defended their chosen candidate and just as passionately bashed the opponent of their candidate. The 2016 election saw the releases of private emails from the Clinton campaign by Wikileaks, which were voraciously read by Clinton opponents and dismissed altogether by her supporters. Scandal after scandal was released about both candidates and the term "fake news" was coined.
The election itself was a complete shock to many, myself included. I had fully expected to see Hillary Clinton win. The results had many calling for the end of the electoral college.
The heat didn't die down after Trump was elected. The days following the election were filled with riots, shock, and even schools canceling classes.

South Dakota: Presidents, Tumbleweeds, and Brontoburgers
3/8/2006 — By Erik Torkells
Erik Torkells
Mount Rushmore is the main attraction in southwestern South Dakota, but don't miss the area's weirder, wilder parts.
Day 1: Rapid City to Badlands
Pre-trip research showed that the region has something for everyone, from wholesome families to thrillseeking bikers. Shawnda and I fall somewhere in between. Friends since high school, we now live on separate coasts and meet up once a year for a generally silly road trip.
After arriving at the Rapid City airport, we drive 50 miles east to Wall Drug. It became well-known for the barrage of signs you pass on the approach, and now the glorified gift shop is famous because it's famous. I prefer my kitsch organic, not preprocessed; we make the best of it, posing atop a giant jackalope, laughing at the coin-operated diorama of dancing rabbits (one's arm has fallen off, another's arm is dangling by a mere thread), and watching kids get all atwitter as the animatronic T. Rex growls.
Continuing east through Buffalo Gap National Grassland, we stop to admire a never-ending meadow of yellow flowers. What keeps us loitering there, though, is the deep silence.
Badlands is Shawnda's kind of national park. You can hike, but you can also just pull over at a viewpoint, walk 50 yards, and snap a photo. The Badlands is my kind of national park, too, if for different reasons. It's gorgeous, but not in a standard way, with weird, desolate spires rising out of the prairie floor. The rock in the spires is composed of multicolored layers, and the colors change with the light.
We check in at Cedar Pass Lodge, a collection of 22 cute, basic cabins on the park border. While Shawnda takes a nap, a thunderstorm blows in. The atmosphere turns primal. A curtain of black clouds draws across the sky, and lightning streaks on the horizon. I walk behind our cabin, dodging the tumbleweeds whizzing by. Even more tumbleweeds, driven by the wind, are forced up and over the back side of one of the spires. It looks like lava erupting from a volcano.
The other research I did was to get restaurant recommendations from M.J. Adams, owner/chef of The Corn Exchange in Rapid City (which I'd read about in Gourmet). Near Badlands, she suggested Circle 10, off I-90, not far from a 15-foot prairie dog statue. We have salads with dried cherries, blue cheese, and walnuts, then BLTs on homemade English muffin bread. The people who own Circle 10 are very sweet, but Shawnda still wants to steal their pet mutt.
At 10 p.m., we go on the Night Prowl. A Badlands ranger leads a group of about 30 on a 400-yard walk into the park, past some of the rocks. The goal is to look at the stars. We lie on the ground, while the ranger sermonizes about light pollution. We don't learn a whole lot, but just being outside at night, away from civilization, is a highlight of our road trip.

Day 2: Badlands to Custer
The drive out of Badlands, along Route 44, is one of the most sublime Shawnda and I have taken. We generally rent convertibles, and we worried that it'd be too hot to go topless in July. But the weather stays bearable, and the sky is breathtaking: white at the horizon, turning bluer and bluer as you look up, until it peaks somewhere between cornflower and royal.
We hightail it, as we're booked for the 1 p.m. Candlelight Tour at Wind Cave National Park. I've sworn off caves, having found them indistinguishable. But the Candlelight Tour goes to parts of Wind Cave not accessible on other tours, and you carry "candle buckets"--metal pails rigged so you hold them on their sides, with candles inside--just like 19th-century settlers did. Besides, the cave interior is 53 degrees year-round, and the day is really heating up.
The 10 of us--11 if you count our guide, Michael--ride an elevator down 190 feet, then trudge single file through a lighted area. After about 15 minutes, Michael lights our candles and we head off into the dark. Candle buckets let you direct the light laterally, but not up or down, so you don't know how low the ceiling is or how bumpy the ground. I spend the two-hour tour in a perpetual stoop.
There's a lot of interesting geology--grid-like formations called boxwork, nubby "popcorn," which looks like it sounds, and delicate crystals known as frostwork. We stop in a nook named Pearly Gates, and sit on ledges. Michael, who is highly earnest and from Malta, which makes for an entertaining combination, slowly scans the room. "Do you want to experience something . . . different?" he says, and Shawnda begins to giggle uncontrollably. He tells us to blow out our candles. In total darkness, your eyes try to adjust, but they can't--so you give in, and it stops mattering if your eyes are open or shut.
The only food at Wind Cave is sold in vending machines, and when we surface we're starving.
I'm excited to go to Flintstones Bedrock City, a campground in Custer with exhibits and photo ops, where you can actually order a Brontoburger. But the place is lame, in a word, and we head to Hill City, where we prepare to get an Old West photograph taken. The young women at Looking Back Photo (now closed) decide that I should be a "rugged cowboy" and Shawnda a "saloon girl." Let's just say that her credentials are more impressive than mine.
When we call that afternoon, Sage Creek Grille, another M.J. favorite, says we don't need to reserve. But we arrive to find there's no room. We sulk our way over to Pizza Works (now closed), where we sit outside and peer up at the glowing Custer sign atop the hill. For dessert, we split a satisfying piece of blueberry pie at Reetz's, also known as the Purple Pie Place because, well, it's hard to miss.

Day 3: Custer to Spearfish
The Comfort Inn puts out a nice breakfast: Styrofoam cups hold single servings of waffle batter, and there are two waffle irons in the common room. But we can't pass up Chute Roosters, outside Hill City, if only because of the name. The food is forgettable, but the owner's a charmer. Roberta Wilburn, who bought the place in 1998, tells us about the ghost who haunts the building, an old dairy farm. When I try to buy a Chute Rooster mug (it's a rodeo term) she can't find the key to the vitrine, and promises to mail the mug if she ever locates the key. I fear she won't remember, however, as she's quite excited about the Elvis impersonator who'll be stopping by that evening (note: The restaurant is now under new management).
And then, Rushmore. It might just be the world's greatest tourist trap--the idea for it came from state historian Doane Robinson, who in 1923 proposed that a monumental carving would draw more visitors to the Black Hills. It was a rare case of a historian actually making history. We're moved by the ambition and the artistry, but Rushmore is a bit of a yawner. Should it be seen? Absolutely. Does it take long? Not so much. We felt the same way about Crazy Horse Memorial, the Native American rejoinder to Rushmore, when we passed it yesterday. The scope is astounding, but we just didn't get much out of it--of course, we also didn't stop. Why pay $10 when we could see it from the road?
M.J. raved about a burger in Rochford, a blip of a town, so we take Route 17 out of Hill City. It's unpaved part of the way, and the Black Hills are beautiful. At times, the road runs parallel to the Mickelson Trail; popular with hikers and cyclists, the trail traverses the length of the Black Hills from Edgemont to Deadwood.
Moonshine Gulch Saloon, the burger place, is dingy and strange--words that can mean good things to me, but not to Shawnda. The ceiling is covered with business cards (including mine, now), baseball caps, snarky signs, all sorts of things, all coated in dust. We get a kick out of a rock next to our table. Painted on one side: PLEASE TURN ME OVER. Painted on the other: M-M-M THAT FEELS GOOD. The burger isn't bad, but the place freaks Shawnda out--particularly the photos of customers bottle-feeding a fawn next to an 8-by-10 glossy of a hunter holding antlers, the rest of the deer's corpse visible in his truck. She has to work up the nerve to go to the ladies' room. But not only is it fantastically clean, someone has written inspirational graffiti on the walls. It's perhaps the last place one would expect a quotation from Euripides.
While my obsession has never been as strong as the one in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, I've always longed to see Devils Tower, across the Wyoming state line. (The apostrophe got lost when the government proclaimed it a national monument, and all the bureaucrats in the world can't squeeze it back in.) Shawnda and I are heartened to hear that after climbers discovered that the tower is especially sacred to Native Americans in June, the number of climbers that month has dropped 80 percent. Scrambling over the boulder field at the base is enough climbing for us. We have a good laugh over the names given to the climbing routes ("Old Guys in Lycra"), the exhibit asking visitors to write what Devils Tower means to them ("It gives me the creeps"), and a tasteless T-shirt in a nearby gift shop ("I like it on top").
The parking lot at the Fairfield Inn in Spearfish, S.D., is full of vintage Chevy Impalas, as our visit coincides with a convention. We take our cue from them and have an evening of retro pleasures: a brownie sundae at the Bay Leaf Café and Air Hockey at an arcade, where we rock out to "Thunder Road" on the jukebox.

Day 4: Spearfish to Rapid City
Having spotted the Geographical Center of the U.S.A. on our map, I decide it'd make a fun photo op. We skip the Center's office in Belle Fourche, figuring all we really care about is the actual spot, and drive for 30 miles on a road that has more roadkill than we've ever seen. But there's no sign where the map has a dot, and the big empty nothingness doesn't have the same appeal as it did on Day 1. (Next time, I'll stop at the office.)
On the return south, I want to check out another dot--the Government Experimental Farm. It sounds like a locale from The X-Files, and therefore worth investigating. Again, nothing there, except a lot of empty corrals. I try to convince Shawnda that federal scientists have found a way to turn animals invisible; it would certainly explain why cars keep running them over.
Being neither bikers nor gamblers, we drive right through Sturgis, home of the big motorcycle rally every August, and Deadwood, an Old West town converted to a gambling destination. We stop for another burger, at Boondocks. It's full of Hollywood memorabilia, and we enjoy watching the bikers roar in.
What we need is a challenge, and we find it at the Black Hills Maze. The maze is 1.2 miles of walkways, divided by wooden fences. There are four towers, and each one has an ink stamp with one of the Rushmore faces on it; the goal is to get all four stamps. We need an hour and four minutes to complete the maze, which is a huge victory if only because an hour and a half gets your name posted on the Hall of Shame. Two 9-year-olds solve it in 45 minutes.
Built in 1928, Rapid City's Hotel Alex Johnson has neat old bones, though the water pressure and air-conditioning are feeble. It's a relief to be downtown, where we can walk rather than drive. There are statues of presidents on many corners, starting from both ends of American history, more or less (Washington, Bush Sr.); 25 are completed. Shawnda, obsessed with politics, can't resist chatting up the woman at The Presidents Information Center and posing with JFK, whereas I'm entranced by a Pomeranian that's been half-shaved to resemble a tiny buffalo.
We've never met M.J., but by this point it feels like she's been in the back seat the whole time. In 1996, she moved from New York to Rapid City, where she opened The Corn Exchange. Her goal was to serve good food, using fresh ingredients. I'm happy to report that her restaurant is delightful. The room feels both sophisticated and homey--with a tin ceiling, hardwood floors, and exposed brick--and M.J. dotes on all her customers, including us. Shawnda and I split everything: a cheese plate, smoked trout on a white corn pancake, entrées of salmon and duck, and a bottle of pinot gris listed on the menu as Mr. Skikkels's favorite. Mr. Skikkels, M.J. informs us, is the cat who lives out back, and I should think he'd like the Belgian chocolate pot de crème even better than the wine. We certainly do.

The tourist season is mid-May to mid-October, and many establishments hibernate in winter. Despite the northern latitude, summer is broiling, and August thunderstorms can be vicious. The good news: Rapid City has an efficient airport, with rental cars outside. Ours, from Thrifty, had a 150-mile-per-day restriction. We bet we wouldn't need the unlimited mileage upgrade, and were penalized $37 (148 miles over, at 25¢ a mile). We gained some of that back by using the Mt. Rushmore parking pass ($8 value) in the glove compartment. Thrifty says customers often leave theirs for the next driver.

Q: How trigger ngxsAfterBootstrap in jasmine unit tests? In my angular application I use NGXS and Jasmine.
In some of my stores I use ngxsAfterBootstrap as initialization where I dispatch some actions.
I can't use ngxsOnInit because, don't know exactly why, but I can't get my up-to-date url parameters from my RouteState selectors (always undefined in ngxsOnInit, even when I subscribe to these selectors and wait a few amount of time)
But, with ngxsAfterBootstrap i get theses values.
So, in my unit tests, I want to test this initialization but I didn't find any solution to trigger ngxsAfterBootstrap method.
According to the NGXS documentation (https://www.ngxs.io/advanced/life-cycle), ngxsAfterBootstrap will be triggered via APP_BOOTSTRAP_LISTENER, so I think it's when we use the 'bootstrap' property of ngModule, which is not existing in TestBed.configureTestingModule ...
I tried to get my store instance, call manually his ngxsAfterBootstrap method with a StateContext mocked as argument, but obviously, because StateContext is mocked, it not trigger my actions when i use his dispatch ...
Did you know any "clean" solution about this ? (clean, here, is just to not modify my implementation to make the unit test working)
Thx ! (sorry for my bad English)
EDIT:
What I finally did :
productStore = TestBed.inject(ProductState);

...

const stateContextMocked = {
      getState: jasmine.createSpy(),
      setState: jasmine.createSpy(),
      patchState: jasmine.createSpy(),
      dispatch: jasmine.createSpy(),
} as StateContext<IProduct>;

 ...

productStore.ngxsAfterBootstrap(stateContextMocked);

...

expect(stateContextMocked.dispatch).toHaveBeenCalledWith(new GetProductAction(productIdMocked));

I tried to do that before, but i didn't like it because i couldn't use the "real" StateContext object which is automatically passed in argument of ngxsAfterBootstrap.
So, i couldn't the result of my dispatch.
But in fact, i can just test if my dispatch method has been called, and have another test that test the action dispatched itself.
It's even a better approach ^^

A: Let's say we want to test ngOnInit.

*

*In //Arrange step of the test, we mock all external dependencies, including public component methods (component methods are not mandatory by the way, it depends on our approach).

*Afterwards in //Act we trigger ngOnInit by simply calling

component.ngOnInit();

*And finally in //Assert we expect that our spies have been called.

Same approach is with ngxsAfterBootstrap, you should look at it as a simple class method. No need to overcomplicate things.

The Green Lantern Easter Egg in 'Justice League,' Explained
The DC movie universe is under Green Lantern jurisdiction, now.
The premier superhero team of the DC Universe has finally assembled in Justice League. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg are finally united, but there's one major DC hero missing from Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon's movie. Or, maybe not, as there's a huge Green Lantern Easter egg in the new movie.
This post contains Justice League spoilers.
Justice League blows the DC Universe wide open by introducing Steppenwolf (Ciarán Hinds), the uncle and general to DC's ultimate big bad Darkseid, as he brings in his Parademon army to collect Earth's three Mother Boxes, powerful alien supercomputers capable of awesome power. It's not the first time he tried to conquer the planet, as the Amazon's explain in a flashback scene.
In a scene that resembles the beginning of Lord of the Rings more than any superhero movie, Steppenwolf and his army of Parademons face down against the combined might of Amazons, the Atlanteans, "the armies of men," and some allies from other worlds. Those allies are unmistakably members of the Green Lantern Corps. They're extremely hard to miss; in a battlefield of hot auburn and brown colors, warriors who give off lime green energy and wear bright green rings have a few moments onscreen. When one dies, Steppenwolf even watches as a deceased Corps member's ring flies off, looking for another worthy wielder, confirming the Green Lantern Corps exist in the DC movie universe
In case 2011's Green Lantern with Ryan Reynolds has been wiped clean from your memory (in which case, lucky), the Green Lantern Corps are intergalactic peacekeepers made up of extraordinary individuals of willpower. Commanded by the ancient Guardians of Oa, the Green Lantern Corps are basically space cops, and from Earth, a number of humans have become Green Lanterns.
The most popular Green Lantern is Hal Jordan, who debuted in the Silver Age in Showcase #22 in 1959. But there have also been other Lanterns, including Alan Scott (an older character with a slightly different origin), Kyle Rayner, John Stewart (not to be confused with Jon Stweart of The Daily Show), and the meat-headed Guy Gardner.
Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz, Earth's two current Green Lanterns. DC Comics
Currently, there are two humans designated as Earth's Green Lanterns. Simon Baz, a Muslim-American mechanic and ex-con from Detroit, and Jessica Cruz, a 20-something woman who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. In the ongoing Green Lanterns comic series by Sam Humphries, Baz and Cruz struggle to work together as rookie cops whilst Hal Jordan deals with intergalactic politics in Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps. Both books launched in 2016, so it's easy to catch up if Justice League ignited some interest in you.
There's no official Green Lantern movie on Warner Bros.'s schedule yet, though.
Justice League is in theaters now.

Q: Close popoup when user start input I have app with edittext where user simply  writes something with the softkeyboard. After user will click at the button and he will see popupwindow, in this case user still have seen keyboard. When user will click outside the popup, it should disappear, and it work ok, but if user will click at keyboard, popup won't disappear. Maybe someone has deal with same problem and can help me.
Steps:

*

*Open app

*Invoke keyboard

*Invoke popupwindow

*Start input
result: Popup is not hidden, text is not inputted

A: If I understand you correctly, you want that the keyboard to disapper when the user clicks on it?
If so, do this for your EditText:
                final EditText sample = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.popupET);
            sample.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {

                @Override
                public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count) {
                    InputMethodManager in = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                    in.hideSoftInputFromWindow(sample.getWindowToken(),
                            InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);

                }

                @Override
                public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count,
                        int after) {
                }

                @Override
                public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
                }
            });

What it does is simply wait for the user to input any key (press on the keyboard) and then it hides it.
The sample EditText is the field you currently have in your code.

Whether you want to become a manager or already are one, you have to display some very important managerial skills to justify your position. How do you develop managerial skills then? Here's a look.
Your exemplary performance as an employee and a great team player got you to the position of a manager. A position that is highly coveted, being a manager is no piece of cake.
While you were responsible for your own work before you became a manager, you are now responsible for what your team does. You will be judged by the capacity and output of your team, not your own performance.
You have already proven how good you are. You now have to prove how you can develop those qualities in your team, for which you require to develop certain managerial skills.
Be it your equals or your subordinates, you have to learn how to respect every one of them. Respect begets respect and will get your team to take you seriously when you ask something of them. Treat them like mere subordinates and you will only be abusing the power that has been bestowed in your hands.
Respecting your colleagues also means allowing them to put forth their point of view and considering it in the process of goal achievement. Your job is to consolidate ideas and have them executed irrespective of who suggested them.
In any organization, effective communication is absolutely essential. At a managerial position, it is your job to ensure that you are a good communicator so that your team understands you and produces the kind of output you expect them to.
Be clear, be precise, and don't expect them to just 'understand' things because they are so simple. Communication also involves listening skills, and as a manager, you have to be able to listen to everyone effectively so that you are able to bring about a positive change in your work environment.
Just because you are at a higher position, you cannot hand over the reigns to your team while you sit back and relax in your new office. You know you have been there, where a problem is required to be discussed with your manager, or when you need a green signal to execute a particular task.
You have to be attentive and you have to be around so that you can help your team deal with the problems that they encounter in the process of executing a project. It is also your job to review their work and provide feedback so that they may continue with their work.
As a manager, your job is to be able to provide criticism that will help an employee make positive change, rather than hinder her/his progress due to failed confidence.
You have to allow your team to make mistakes, as that is the only way they will learn. A good manager is one who allows every member of her/his team to develop her/his own identity in spite of putting in group effort.
Organization is an essential aspect of being a good manager, and it is a skill that you must possess to function well. Multi-tasking is going to have to be your forte, so the sooner you start planning your time and organizing yourself, the better it will be for you to move higher up the ladder.
Managerial skills also require decision-making abilities, problem solving skills, analytical skills, skills that involve critical thinking, social skills, team building skills, and healthy interpersonal skills.
All these and more will help you lead a team effectively. Also remember that leading by example is the best way to lead any team to success. It is developing these managerial skills that will help you go ahead.
