Q: Combine varargs and argument by name I'd like to be able to define a function like this:
def paralellize(func: ⇒ Unit *) = {
    func.par.foreach(_.apply())
}

but it seems that Scala doesn't like it:
')' expected but identifier found.
def parallelize(func: => Unit *) = {
                             ^
<console>:3: '=' expected but eof found.

I think this is due to the combination of varargs and by name arguments.
My intention is to be able to parallelize arbitrary code easily:
parallelize(
     {
        println("a")
        Thread.sleep(1000)
        println("A")
     },
     {
        println("b")
        Thread.sleep(1000)
        println("B")
     }
)

A: I'm not sure if i fully understood your question, but if you want pass many functions as argument you can try it like this
def paralellize(func: (() => Unit)* ) = {
  func.par.foreach(_.apply())
}

A: A shorter variation of Kamil answer:
def paralellize(func: () => Unit* ) =
  func.par.foreach(_.apply())

For the earlier numerous a very long time, Batman's traits have been pretty properly outlined. He's stoic, remarkably intelligent, nearly unbeatable in hand-to-hand combat, and so forth. Nonetheless, there exists examples of this tried and true mildew being broken, which most notably happens when Bruce Wayne's Batman adopts the place of various DC Comics characters.
Admittedly, examples of this are unusual, however occur usually adequate to warrant consideration. The Darkish Knight has slipped into the footwear of Lanterns, demons, and Gods. What takes place in such instances? We'll have a look at just some of them throughout the following article. Listed under are 10 Events Batman Has Been Totally different DC Heroes or Villains.
The Purple Demise represents an evil mannequin of Batman born out of Darkish Nights: Metal, a sequence whereby Batman discovers DC's Darkish Multiverse. Fed up with the pace at which criminality continues to develop, the Bruce Wayne of Earth -52 violently merges himself collectively together with his Earth's Flash. Afterwards, Batman turns into the murderous Speedster, The Purple Demise, and items about killing off his private rogues gallery.
This mannequin of the Bat has been throughout the info most recently on account of its receiving a degree out on The Flash television sequence. Such an Easter egg leads many to think about Purple Demise might presumably be certainly one of many current's giant villains in forthcoming seasons.
Batman has adopted the place of Inexperienced Lantern a handful of situations. Nonetheless, most likely probably the most notable occasion choices throughout the one-shot Elseworlds story, Batman: In Darkest Knight. Revealed in 1994, this comic follows the important tenets of Batman mythos, such as a result of the murder of his dad and mother. Crucial shift occurs with Bruce Wayne's turning into a Inexperienced Lantern, in its place of Hal Jordan.
Desperately wanting to fight crime, Bruce begs for a sign in regards to the good plan of motion. A sign arrives as a crashed alien vessel, the place an injured Abin Sur relinquishes his Inexperienced Lantern Vitality Ring and offers it to Bruce. In a single concern alone, Bruce proves an environment friendly Lantern.
Batman & Demon: A Tragedy is a lesser recognized Elseworlds one-shot, written by Alan Grant and drawn by Jim Murray. In it, Bruce Wayne has for the ultimate millennium shared his physique with Etrigan the Demon. Because of the two are sure, Etrigan takes over at night time time and turns into Gotham's murderous Bat-like vigilante. Due to Bruce's virtuous nature, however, Etrigan solely targets the worst of criminals.
Most attention-grabbing is that this story's Jekyll and Hyde overtones. Bruce awakens with no recollection of his nightly escapades, and is conscious of nothing of the demon inside. Alfred secretly being the wizard Merlin who watches over Bruce makes this Elseworlds story the entire additional memorable.
Batman's worn a variety of Lantern Vitality Rings, however none are pretty as mystifying as that which belongs to the Sinestro Corps. Batman has wielded the Yellow Lantern Ring on two occasions. One event is transient, and takes place earlier to the events of Sinestro Corps Wrestle when a hoop seeks him out.
One different event occurs all through Eternally Evil. Following Sinestro Corps Wrestle, Batman retains a Yellow Lantern ring in his place, realizing such a software program will are available helpful. Throughout the fight in direction of the Crime Syndicate, Batman dons the ring to fend of Vitality Ring, the Crime Syndicate's villainous mannequin of a Inexperienced Lantern.
DC's Darkish Multiverse spawned just some villainous variations of the Bat. However, none are pretty as disconcerting as The Batman Who Laughs. Mainly, he's Batman in Joker sort. A contact of Bruce Wayne's sanity nonetheless rests inside The Batman Who Laughs, nevertheless the Clown Prince takes over.
This melding of the two occurs following a murderous rampage on the Joker's half. Batman lastly subdues him, though not sooner than Joker toxin begins infecting residents of Gotham, driving them to madness. As luck would have it, Batman moreover turns into contaminated. His descent into insanity leads him down a path that sadly culminates throughout the murders of numerous Bat-family members.
All through Brightest Day, Batman briefly wields a White Lantern ring. Deadman grants it to him, hoping the vigilante is worthy of adjusting the Entity as bearer of the White Mild. The ring rejects Batman just about instantly, as he is not the true successor to such vitality.
Though he solely wears the ring for just some transient moments, the Darkish Knight receives a surprising white go nicely with redesign, which mirrors that of the White Lantern Corps. His fleeting time throughout the place is a shame, significantly because it may need been intriguing to see how his powers manifest with white life energy.
Technically, this Batman doesn't flip into one different DC hero or villain. Nonetheless, it might be argued that, to an extent, The Murder Machine emulates Cyborg. Earth -44's Bruce Wayne has a well known origin, however all of the items modifications as quickly because the rogues murder Alfred. With Cyborg's help, Batman designs AI that aids him as Alfred did. AI Alfred, dubbed Alfred Protocol, will also be constructed to protect Batman by any means.
RELATED: The Batman Who Laughs Is Once more – Nonetheless Which Bruce Wayne Did He Merely Kill?
Lastly, the AI slays plenty of villains and deems Batman unfit to protect himself. It overtakes Batman's ideas, then provides him a mechanical physique with which Alfred Protocol begins ruthlessly killing. Even Cyborg falls to the AI's cruelty.
A mannequin of Batman who injects himself with a Doomsday virus to battle Superman, The Devastator, like just some others on this guidelines, originates from DC's Darkish Multiverse and resides on Earth -1. His need to end in Superman's demise lies in Earth -1's Man of Steel turning into a murderous madman, going so far as to even killing Lois Lane.
Whereas the Doomsday virus turns the Bat proper right into a monstrous being, and ensures his victory of Superman, it doesn't solely affect Batman. The virus is infectious. As a result of it spreads the world over, no person is spared from transforming into monstrous, Doomsday-esque creatures.
Batman with a Inexperienced Lantern ring is such a distinctive concept that it has to have occurred higher than as quickly as. The latest telling of such a narrative takes place all through Batman: The Dawnbreaker. Throughout the Darkish Multiverse's Earth -32, Bruce Wayne's tragic story performs out as common; significantly common.
On the fateful night time time of his dad and mother' murder by the fingers of Joe Chill, a Inexperienced Lantern Vitality Ring appears sooner than youthful Bruce Wayne. Wanting vengeance, he takes it with out question. Whatever the Corps' strict pointers in direction of the utilization of lethal energy, Bruce corrupts the ring and kills Chill. From then on, this mannequin of Inexperienced Lantern ruthlessly patrols Gotham.
The Batman of the Darkish Multiverse's Earth -12 is named The Merciless, a barbarous battle machine of an individual. This mannequin begins as a hero, combating alongside Shock Woman to strip the God of Wrestle, Ares, of his seemingly limitless vitality. The Wrestle God's helm harbors lots the ability, which Batman removes all through combat and dons, after believing Shock Woman lifeless by Ares' hand.
Batman's flip to villainy occurs all through this battle, as quickly as he locations on the helm. He slaughters Ares, and shortly turns into corrupted by the dominance the helm grants him. As with completely different Batmen from the Darkish Multiverse, The Merciless strikes down all who stand in his method, heroes and villains alike.

RACE TEAM SALUTES PARALYZED VETERANS ON RACE DAY
West Allis, WI, June 8, 2021 – With military history within their family, race car drivers Dalton Zehr & John Beale are teaming up with The Paralyzed Veterans of America Wisconsin Chapter on Father's Day weekend to salute four paralyzed Veterans. The relationship between these two organizations started earlier this year when The Beale Foundation donated an all-terrain wheelchair to Cody Becker, 32, of Salem, Wisconsin. He is a paraplegic due to a motor vehicle accident that occurred while on active duty during his service in 2008. The all-terrain power wheelchair has changed his life, allowing him to access his large property and the outdoors in ways that he hasn't been able to do since his injury. Christopher White, CPL, US Marine Corp (Retired), Cody Becker, PFC, US Army (Retired), Ken Ness, USAFA '78 & Scott Griffith, CW2, US Army (Retired) names will be displayed on Dalton Zehr's #119 Super Late Model during the ARCA Midwest Tour Father's Day 100 at the Milwaukee Mile on Sunday, June 20th, 2021. "It's an honor to have these names displayed on my race car and hopefully we can take them to victory lane at the Milwaukee Mile" stated Dalton Zehr who is the 2018 ARCA Midwest Tour Champion. Track Enterprises, Inc. & ARCA Midwest Tour are also honoring the Veterans by having them involved in the pre-race opening ceremonies.

Ballet Idaho's 'Rubies' Glitters
by Harrison Berry
Paul Boos rehearsing with Ballet Idaho company dancers.
Paul Boos came to Boise from New York to oversee Ballet Idaho's production of George Balanchine's "Rubies," the middle act of his 1967 ballet, Jewels. Boos was onstage Feb. 13 at the Morrison Center, basking in a standing ovation from the crowd for his efforts. "Rubies" was one of the most challenging dances Ballet Idaho has ever attempted, and it gave Boise audiences a new sense of what heights the dance company can reach.
"Rubies" is a work of art in a bottle. Narrative- and character-free, traditional ballet movements have been overlaid with the raw sexuality of the Jazz Age: The ballet opens with thrusting hips and high kicks. At times it looks like the dancers, with their glittering red costumes, are performing in a burlesque show. But unlike burlesque, "Rubies" has no punchline—just virtuoso performances by Andrew Taft and Elizabeth Keller and clockwork movements from the company dancers.
Ballet Idaho regulars rarely see Taft in this form. His performances are consistent and precise, but Friday night, he was inspired: His limb extensions were more fluid and he was lighter on his feet. It was one of the most energetic ballets of his career but by its end, he seemed effortlessly composed, as though he hadn't just spent the last half hour sprinting and leaping across the Morrison Center stage.
The evening began with a work by an undisputed master, but the middle ballet of the evening, "This Mortal's Mosaic," was choreographed by Daniel Ojeda, a gifted student. "Mosaic" was an accessible, witty and fun collage of short cuts and vignettes about traditional (and some non-traditional) ballet themes like spurned love and relationships gone awry. Ojeda has already demonstrated his broad dance vocabulary, but here, he showed his mastery of it by expressing an array of feelings in a short amount of time without confusing or burning out the audience.
Rounding out the evening was the garrulous "Aaaaargh! Pirates!" by Peter Anastos. After the immense energy of "Rubies" and the substantial "Mosaic," "Pirates" was a sorbet of sight gags, stage fighting and sexual innuendo. It closed out with an exhilarating pas de deux between Angela Napier Gibson and Nathan Powell, but Taft, who performed in both "Rubies" and "This Mortal's Mosaic," again stole the show in the fourth variation of "Pirates."

B.C. Opposition Liberals push for emergency meeting amid legislature turmoil
Published November 24, 2018 Updated November 25, 2018
British Columbia's Opposition Liberals are pushing for an emergency meeting to question Speaker Darryl Plecas about how and why he hired a special adviser to look into his concerns about two top legislature officials.
Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson said Saturday that his caucus still has a lot of questions about the Speaker's decision to hire his friend Alan Mullen in January to examine the administrative duties of Sergeant-at-Arms Gary Lenz and Clerk Craig James.
The Speaker's office forwarded information to the RCMP in August and the Mounties are investigating with the help of two special prosecutors. The legislature, including the Liberal caucus, voted unanimously Tuesday to place Mr. Lenz and Mr. James on administrative leave.
Mr. Wilkinson said he's asking questions now in part because it came as a surprise to him when Mr. Mullen revealed Wednesday that he was hired to look into matters of concern for Mr. Plecas, including the legislature investigation.
Before Wednesday, the Liberals thought Mr. Mullen was a clerical worker and driver for the Speaker, Mr. Wilkinson said.
"We have a lot of questions, just as the public do, about how Mr. Mullen was hired and why, and the cash flow and compensation involved in all these recruitments that the Speaker's been engaged in," Mr. Wilkinson said.
Mr. Plecas said in a statement that the suggestion that Mr. Mullen was hired under a cloud of secrecy is "utter nonsense."
"He was hired with a job description and in consultation with human resource and financial officials at the legislature. I hired him without a competition, but that is consistent with the hiring of virtually every other ministerial aide in Canada," he said.
"The notion that he was hired as an investigator of any kind is also utter nonsense. The notion that he has engaged in any form of 'investigation' beyond doing due diligence on concerns expressed to, or observed by, my office is further nonsense. To do less than due diligence would be wildly irresponsible."
Mr. Plecas added he was "completely confident that all of this will be abundantly clear to the public once some portion of the police investigation has concluded."
A lawyer for Mr. Lenz and Mr. James has said the two men deny any wrongdoing and do not know why they have been suspended. Attorney Mark Andrews sent a letter Friday urging the legislature to immediately reinstate the two officials.
The Speaker's office has agreed to arrange a meeting of the legislative assembly management committee on Tuesday afternoon, but Mr. Wilkinson and Liberal house leader Mary Polak are pushing for a meeting as early as 7 a.m. Monday.
The committee, chaired by the Speaker and made up of the three house leaders and other top legislature members, is responsible for the financial accounting of the legislature.
Mr. Mullen, who met Mr. Plecas while the two worked together at federal prisons in B.C.'s Fraser Valley, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
This week, Mr. Plecas hired former B.C. Liberal and attorney general Wally Oppal as a second special adviser.
Mr. Oppal said Saturday the Speaker obtained "significant" legal advice before taking any of his actions in this matter.
"I'm not going to get involved in the political aspects … but I can tell you that he acted in good faith," Mr. Oppal said.
Mr. Plecas is a former Liberal member of the legislature who was ejected from the party after he accepted an offer to become Speaker under the NDP and Greens' power-sharing agreement. The Speaker does not vote on bills, so his decision ensured the two ruling parties had 44 votes and the Liberals had 42.
In the event of a tie, the Speaker casts a vote to break it.
Ms. Polak released a sworn affidavit this week that said Mr. Plecas proposed installing Mr. Mullen as the acting sergeant-at-arms, which she described as "inappropriate."
Asked whether his questioning of the Speaker was politically motivated, Mr. Wilkinson replied that the people of B.C. are entitled to know the truth about recent events.
"It's all very murky. People can draw their own conclusions once the truth is known, but right now we have all kinds of missing pieces in this puzzle."
He insisted he wasn't able to raise these questions on Monday or Tuesday this week, in response to a question about whether he had neglected to do his job as Opposition leader when the motion to suspend Mr. Lenz and Mr. James came up.
The Liberals received the request for the urgent motion at 8:30 p.m. Monday and it was entered at the end of question period Tuesday, he said.
"There was no time whatsoever to provide for questions about the specifics of the topic," he said.
Asked whether he regrets voting for the motion, he said the key issue now is whether the government obtained the necessary legal advice before recommending it be approved.
NDP House leader Mike Farnworth did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Mr. Farnworth has said previously that the decision to introduce the motion was made by the house leaders for all three parties.
Green spokesperson Jillian Oliver said party House leader Sonia Furstenau will attend the committee meeting on Tuesday.
"Our priority is to recognize the seriousness of an active RCMP investigation and give the police the space they need to do their jobs," she said.

I created a map using DeePsea under the ZdoonHexen project and ran it under ZdoomGL. When I load my wad and start going through the level I notice the engine refuses to render properley in place of some nodes.
I already ran zdbsp and had it fix the nodes for GL, but that made no difference.

The ability to connect to the Internet or another computer without attaching an Ethernet cord or telephone wire to one's computer. It was invented in 1994 and became popular in the 2000s. Wireless technology has facilitated mobility in both study and many occupations. Many wireless devices use technology certified as Wi-Fi, a brand name. See also: Work from home.
While P/C carriers are increasingly relying on mobile solutions, the potential for wireless technology in the life/health insurance industries is somewhat more limited, said Hersh.
Claims have been made on occasion that the mobility and convenience afforded by wireless technology will result in reduced staffing needs.
Jonathan Rudes, co-chair of the Real Estate Technology Forum and senior vice president at Winoker Realty said: "Particularly at a time when property owners are looking for ways to help their landlords market their buildings in a challenging economic environment, wireless technology could provide a relatively easy and inexpensive component of a strategy that differentiates our landlords' buildings from the competition.
To a certain extent, there's an inverse relationship between the level of penetration of Internet-connected PCs and the popularity of wireless technology.
The Foundation oversees a number of programs designed to put wireless technology to work addressing the challenges of society.
Researchers specializing in the field of wireless technology and graduate students on telecommunications courses will also find it an excellent guide to the topic.
Also on display in the living room, the i830 is packed with Windows(R) Pocket PC applications, Bluetooth wireless technology, advanced speech recognition, speakerphone, MP3 player, built-in QWERTY keyboard, and EVDO connectivity for faster data transfer.
The report answers critical questions surrounding the broadband wireless market, such as the precise positioning of each broadband wireless technology and which applications, technologies and regions/countries will drive growth over the next five years.
Kyocera also introduced a number of new accessories with Bluetooth wireless technology for hands-free communication -- including a headset, an installed hands-free car kit and a portable hands-free car kit -- in addition to a music controller with stereo headset, a Push-to-Talk headset and a walkie-talkie dispatch button.
Aegis is making significant progress in developing technology that improves emergency responders' ability to communicate through wireless technology, and COMCARE will work with them in that effort.

To help you understand, I will list my health challenges and medications, and then I will explain some of them. I carry the following list with me in case of an emergency because there are too many to remember. Plus when I go to a new doctor I don't have to write it all out.
I believe this is a main cause of my health issues. I studied a lot about it and learned it can be the basis of lots of medical illnesses. One main consideration is my combination of Major Depressive Disorder, OCD, Anxiety and S.A.D. Our thyroids control our hormones and chemical makeup. These combined illnesses are caused by this chemical imbalance. We have to monitor this group very closely because I can get out of balance very quickly. For example, see My Suicide Attempt.
I don't know for sure if Irritable Bowel Syndrome is considered to be a cause from the thyroid, but either way I have had it all my life. I was diagnosed as a teenager. This is the main reason for my disability along with my psychiatric illnesses. In October, 2012 I had most of my large intestines removed due to having hundreds of precancerous polyps. The term is FAP, Familial Adenomatous Polyposis. It is usually hereditary but my family members test negative. It is funny, though, because my step-daughter and her son both have this disease. So, along with my IBS, Interstitial Cystitis, and only having about 10 inches of colon, I practically live in the bathroom.
Interstitial Cystitis is like always having a urinary infection. It is very uncomfortable and also keeps me in the bathroom. I have pain, frequency and other symptoms from it. I have read that this is an autoimmune disease and can also be linked to the thyroid. In March of 2014 I had an Interstim device implanted to control some of the pain by sending signals to my brain that there is no pain. It has helped enormously but not on a constant basis.
We can link the following in the same category: Degenerative Disc Disease & Carpal Tunnel and Neuropathy & Fibromyalgia. They are all neurological, muscular and bone related. The discs in my neck are deteriorating and cause horrible pain at times where the pain radiates down my arms and back. The other diseases cause pain and numbness in my arms and legs. At times I can't do anything because of all the discomfort.
The Sleep Apnea & Insomnia wreak havoc on my daily schedule. I can't keep one because my sleep patterns are all over the place. I can't fall asleep at first, then getting up to go to the bathroom and the time I spend in there wakes me up fully again so I can't fall back to sleep. I can sleep 12 hours that way with all the bathroom breaks I need. If I sleep only about 7 or 8 hours during the night I will need at least 1 nap a day.
As you can see, I am a package deal of mental and physical because they both feed off each other. My life isn't fun and even though I have all these challenges, I plan to lead a healthier life. I will continue looking into ways of healing and eventually start up my business again doing angel readings and helping others in various ways.

Saturday Night at the Movies - Saturday 12 March 2016, 5pm
It's a Western movie special tonight - yeehaw!
This week, Andrew Collins is saddling up and setting out for the Wild West to celebrate one of his personal favourite film genres: the Western.
Among the great composers featured tonight is Ennio Morricone, whose inventive use of bells, coyote howls, electric guitars, harmonicas and the distinct twang of the Jew's harp influenced and revolutionised the music of Westerns to the point where it's hard to imagine a score without his unorthodox instrumentation. His extraordinary 50-year career was finally rewarded last month when he won his first Oscar for Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight.
Watch: Ennio Morricone's tips for writing film music as iconic as Gabriel's Oboe >
Also tonight, classic Western scores from Elmer Bernstein and Alfred Newman.
Not to be missed, whether you're good, bad or ugly.

Parents, Students Blast Akeredolu Over Suspension Of Free Shuttle Buses
Posted by George on Tue 14th Jan, 2020 - tori.ng
Since the suspension of the schemes by the state government, students and pupils were seen trekking long distances to their various schools.
The Ondo Shuttle Buses
Following the suspension of the operations of the Free Shuttle School Buses, parents and students have described the action of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu-led government as inconsiderate
Most of the parents, who spoke on the development, maintained that the decision to suspend what they described as a laudable scheme which has been in operation for over eight years, was a move to inflict pain on the masses.
Since the resumption of students for the 2019/2020 second term academic session in Ondo State on January 6, 2020, the operations of the free school shuttle school buses have been grounded.
It was gathered that the development had led to about 50,000 students in public schools stranded on a daily basis across the state.
A parent with one of his children at Oyemekun Grammar School, Mr. Seyi Ojo, who expressed dismay over the situation, appealed to the state governor, Oluwarorimi Akeredolu not to allow the free shuttle buses initiative to die untimely.
Another parent, Mrs. Janet Ismail from Ikare-Akoko said the suspension of the buses' operations had caused untold hardship for the pupils and financial burden on parents.
The free shuttle buses were introduced by the administration of immediate past governor of the state, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko to convey primary and secondary school students free of charge in major towns in the state.
It was learnt that operations of the 90 shuttle buses were suspended by the state government due to an alleged lack of funds for maintenance and fueling.
According to a source, he hinted that the State Ministry of Transport had failed to settle debt incurred for the fueling of the buses since last year, which made the filling station owners to reject further debt.
Reacting on the issue, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transport, Mr. Tobi Ogunleye dismissed insinuation that government had suspended or cancelled the free shuttle buses.
According to Ogunleye, the non-operation was as a result of ongoing general maintenance of the vehicles.
Mr. Ogunleye, however, gave an assurance that hopefully, the shuttle buses would return to roads this week.

What to Expect Now That Kevin Spacey Sexual Assault Accuser Has Died Mid-Lawsuit
Elura NanosSep 18th, 2019, 1:45 pm
Woah, didn't see that coming. "John Doe," the massage therapist who sued Kevin Spacey a year ago for allegedly forcing him to grab the actor's genitals during a massage has died. Because the person had been proceeding anonymously, there are currently no details being reported on the death or the plaintiff's identity.
Right now, the Doe sexual assault lawsuit is Spacey's biggest legal concern. That's because the unrelated Massachusetts criminal case against Spacey fell apart when that complaining witness pleaded the Fifth; the civil case relating to those allegations was also dismissed with prejudice. The John Doe civil case has been proceeding in California over Spacey's objection regarding the plaintiff's shielded identity.
So, what happens now to John Doe's civil lawsuit? There are a few possibilities.
The lawsuit could continue.
When an individual plaintiff in a civil lawsuit dies, that person's estate inherits the lawsuit. It's not a straightforward and simple process, though. There are the procedural issues of which beneficiaries or heirs would be permitted to receive any proceeds of trial, as well as who, exactly would make legal decisions on the estate's behalf during the pendency of the lawsuit.
Sure, if there's a will laying out the executor and heirs, that helps. But John Doe may well have died intestate (i.e., without a will), which means there could be drama between surviving family members over how to handle the case.
Even if the estate wants to continue the case, there are some major hurdles. First, those individuals standing in for John Doe will need to prove to the court that they have the right to litigate the case. This means piercing the plaintiff's anonymity to at least some degree in order to adequately satisfy the court's requirement.
Next, there will be the problem of evidence. Sexual assault cases are notoriously difficult to prove, even under typical circumstances. But when the complaining witnesses isn't present, proof can be nearly impossible. Spacey's lawyers certainly know this, and are likely not rushing to make any lucrative settlement offers to the Doe's family.
The lawsuit could be dismissed.
Beneficiaries of John Doe's estate may realize that their chances of walking away with big money damages aren't great, and just choose to preserve as much of the estate funds as possible. If they determine that the juice just isn't worth the squeeze (or, if they value Doe's anonymity above all else), they'll move to dismiss the case voluntarily. Alternatively, Spacey (or the court itself) could move to dismiss the case based on lack of available evidence and end things there.
John Doe's estate and Kevin Spacey could come to a quick settlement.
This is the simplest and most direct way to end the matter for everyone involved. Likely, Doe's surviving relatives are not expecting to devote the time and energy required to pursue a major lawsuit against a wealthy Hollywood celebrity; without the presence of the person who entitled to compensation, it's tough to see how proceeding with protracted litigation would make much sense.
As for Spacey, he'd be smart to put this whole thing to rest ASAP. Every step in the process – which has now gotten significantly more complex – is damaging to Spacey's wallet and image. A discreet and speedy settlement would minimize the fallout for everyone involved – and still allow Doe's lawyer to collect his contingency fee.

Q: shrepoint 2007 workflow retrieve group of values I have two lists that i would like to use to create a workflow that sends email whenever an item is created.
Here the details:
List Officers has two columns, City and Officer and there clearly are lots of officers per city. in the second list Enquiry there is one field City (mandatory), so basically i want that when a new item is created in Enquiry the workflow lookup the city in the Officers list and send an email to all the officers in that city.
Any idea on how i could achieve this?
i don't have access to the sharepoint server and i don't know how to work with visual studio, c# etc. just plain SPD 2007

A: In the past, I would have my list of Officers have one city listed and the Officer column be set to either a person/group field with multiple selections possible or a plain text multiline field where I would put in email addresses delimited by semicolons. Then in my workflow, I'd look up that particular field store it in a variable and use it in my email.
SPD doesn't give you options to store collections of data like that.

Q: Compass and Sass are dead? I am going through the code school course "Sass Foundation". I am on a level where the professor tells about the compass framework.
When I installed it I realized that the code which it generates does not include the -ms- and -o-.
That is why I would like to ask professionals for some tips, and information which I cannot find here on Stack and on the Internet.

*

*Is the Compass dead now? If yes what should I use instead of it?
(to be sure that it will add -ms-, -o- etc.)

*Is the Sass dead now?

*I did some research and the people say that I should not use the    .sass but .scss, but on the other hand, if I use the .scss I won't be able to use the indented syntax. Should I avoid the indented syntax? If yes please specify why.

A: Since none of the answers are 100% accurate, I will provide my own answer.

*

*Is Compass dead? Yes, apparently. According to their GitHub page:

Compass is no longer actively maintained.

Compass seems to be dying because it is written in Ruby and there are much faster Sass transpilers written in C/C++, mainly LibSass.
What should you use now? Based on this GitHub issue conversation, I would recommend switching to Bourbon for a base set of utility mixins.

*Is Sass dead now? No, absolutely not. Modern Sass transpilers, including LibSass, fully support the Sass specification and work great.

*Should you avoid the Sass syntax? No. In my opinion, the Sass syntax is cleaner, easier to read, and is definitely easier to type.
You can mix Sass and SCSS syntax. So you can import Bourbon SCSS syntax into your Sass syntax document and use the mixins without issue.
In conclusion, use the syntax that makes you happier.

A: Compass is not, dead - it did what it did well - but it's now been replaced in most peoples' work flows. People started using CodeKit shortly after that- and now they generally use task runners and build tools like, grunt, gulp, brunch, broccoli etc.
What you want is pre-processing and something that has autoprefixer. This could be any of the things mentioned above and can usually be installed and configured with a collection of npm  modules. It all depends on the project you're working on. I'd say that gulp is the most popular right now. (I use Ember, so Ember CLI does that for me)
.sass is just another syntax (the original one, I believe). Most developers use .scss and I'd encourage you to stick with that syntax because it's more like CSS and when sharing projects people will thank you. (although I prefer stylus)
EDIT
Afterthoughts... I'd say that "Sass Foundation" is what is dead. That course is going to cause you more trouble then help you. Just write scss and learn new bits as you need them. It's just CSS with some helpful features like variables and nesting.

A: Assuming I'm understanding what you're asking, yes, I would transition to SCSS instead of using SASS. Why? Generally speaking, SASS combines both Sass and SCSS. Sass itself is an older syntax that primarily deals with indentation (instead of brackets, etc.) and doesn't present any real addition to CSS. On the other hand, SCSS is meant to extend CSS3 by providing additional functionality such as variables, nesting, and others. The other bonus is that technically speaking, every valid CSS3 stylesheet is also a valid SCSS stylesheet.
So to conclude, I would definitely consider making the change to SCSS as you will find this is the standard among a lot of frameworks and tools used in the industry, plus it is a newer syntax in comparison to Sass and provides a good deal more functionality to make your life that much easier as a developer.
If you want to find out more information, just take a look at their website: http://sass-lang.com/
So to answer your questions specifically:

*

*No, it is not dead, it has just been updated to follow industry standards. There are many alternatives available. For example, a popular one is Gulp.

*Sass isn't dead either, however most developers have moved to SCSS instead.

*I would go with SCSS, due to what I have described above.

James William Boyd
James William Boyd (1822 – 1903) was a Confederate States of America military officer who was alleged in a conspiracy theory to have been killed in the place of John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of President Abraham Lincoln.
Biographical documentation on Boyd's life is scant. It has been determined that he was a captain in the 6th Tennessee Infantry of Confederate States Army during the American Civil War, and that he was a prisoner of war in December 1864 when he requested permission to be released so he could return to his home in Jackson, Tennessee, to take care of his seven motherless children; Boyd's wife Caroline died while he was incarcerated. Edwin M. Stanton, the U.S. Secretary of War, approved Boyd's petition on February 14, 1865. Boyd's official whereabouts following his release remain a mystery – his son James received a letter to meet Boyd in Brownsville, Texas, for a trip to Mexico, but Boyd never showed up for the rendezvous and no further contact was ever received from him.[1]
According to a theory put forth by the 1977 book and subsequent film The Lincoln Conspiracy, Boyd was mistaken for John Wilkes Booth and killed on April 26, 1865, at Richard Garrett's farm, near Bowling Green, Caroline County, Virginia. The theory adds that the U.S. government was aware of the error, but covered it up and, thus, enabled Booth to escape to freedom.[2]

The Lincoln Conspiracy (ISBN 1-56849-531-5) details the assassination, the Boyd plot, and Booth's escape to the swamps.
The Curse of Cain: The Untold Story of John Wilkes Booth (ISBN 1-58006-021-8) continues with the claim that Booth escaped, sought refuge in Japan and eventually returned to the United States where he died in Enid, Oklahoma in 1903.

Off-Grid Utilities
Seeding the integrated utility revolution
This year may prove to be a significant milestone in Shell Foundation's work to bring modern energy services to people in Africa living on $2 to $10 a day.
For more than 18 months, SF has been incubating a new business model, referred to as the Energy Company of the Future, to catalyse a fully-integrated utility approach that improves existing grid reliability, provides additional generation capacity, and delivers affordable off-grid technologies such as solar home systems and mini-grids in rural areas where grid extension is not yet viable.
The aim has been to take a customer centric approach that supports universal access to energy for customers at all income levels, and equips households and businesses with the means to put the received energy to good use, for example by financing key domestic and productive use appliances from TVs to refrigerators to solar pumps.
From mini-grids to off-grid utilities
SF's first experience in the mini-grid sector dates back to 2008, supporting Husk Power with a biomass mini-grid model in rural India. Based on customer demand for reliable power, SF worked with Husk to develop a customer-centric utility model to deliver 24/7 A/C power to customers in Bihar, India. The importance of customer-level data and smart meters to run these types of models led to a new partnership with SparkMeter in 2015 to develop an affordable, smart metering solution specifically designed for the remote off-grid sector.
Over time, we have nurtured a portfolio of partners to improve the viability of mini-grids by lowering costs to serve and accessing blended capital, resulting in the creation of Odyssey Energy Solutions, an IT platform to effectively and transparently deploy donor funding and provide asset monitoring services to investors (in partnership with our long-standing incubation partner Factor[e] Ventures). We also supported the creation of a new project equity facility specifically for mini-grids with Cross Boundary Energy Access (CBEA) and the creation of the African Mini-grid Developers Association (AMDA) to align the sector's voice in Africa, share market data and support policy-makers and investors.
In recent years, the sector has made substantial progress towards better understanding the market opportunity of the sector positioned to serve 100 million people in Africa alone. The private sector has started to coordinate through AMDA to align messaging on policy and financing needs and promising progress has been made with large programmes committed to mini-grids from the World Bank and the Africa Development Bank.
Despite this, and factoring in continued innovation and growth of existing models, research with Catalyst Off Grid Advisors (2017) shows that the UN Sustainable Development Goal for universal energy access (SDG7) will be missed by more than 100 million households. This reality spurred our continued search for more integrated utility-type models which can deliver services to both on- and off-grid customers in both urban and rural areas.
An engineer works on a Husk plant platform
SDG7 will be missed by more than 100 million households. We need more integrated utility-type models which can deliver services to both on- and off-grid customers in both urban and rural areas.
Integrated distribution models
Large scale utility companies and off-grid companies still work in isolation, despite obvious synergies related to government policy, regulation, cost efficiencies, technology and cross-subsidisation. In partnership with DFID, USAID and the Rockefeller Foundation, SF started to identify integrated distribution models predicated on partnerships with existing utilities, public sector backing and a customer value proposition for access to 24/7 reliable power for all, irrespective of location and income levels.
The ability to serve all customers – from large commercial and industrial customers to rural, residential customers – is critical to achieving SDG7. Most off-grid models exclusively serve low demand households and lack the anchor loads or commercial customer base to achieve commercial viability and scale. On the other end of the spectrum, some business models focus only on serving the more profitable commercial and industrial customers and leave underserved customers without much improvement in energy provision.
The past 18 months were spent developing the idea from a concept to a business model ready for testing and validation by engaging utility distribution companies across Sub-Saharan Africa and India to explore possible partnerships.
This work has resulted in the creation of a new business, Konexa, launched this year – which seeks to radically transform access, reliability and affordability of electricity in three Sub-Saharan countries, with the goal of reaching over 50 million customers through grid and off-grid solutions.
Konexa: The Energy Company of the Future
Konexa is currently validating the integrated utility model through a pilot project in northern Nigeria. To this end, it has signed commercial agreements with two Nigerian distribution companies and identified a pilot area around several 11kV feeders serving a population of around 50,000 to test and refine its approach. Konexa aims to start deploying initial solar home systems and mini-grids later this year and refurbishing the existing grid infrastructure in 2020.
One of the most important roles for Konexa is the ability to carve out special purpose vehicles (SPVs) containing utility assets that allow infrastructure investors to come in without taking on the risk of the incumbent utilities' existing financial state. Particularly in Nigeria, where many utilities have a negative value, Konexa's role in unlocking capital for grid renovation is potentially game-changing.
The many years of SF's off-grid learnings have been incorporated into the Konexa model, such as the need to ensure households and businesses have access to appliances to improve the sales of energy as well as ensuring the economic development of the village, so customers can afford it. The usage of smart technologies, such as pre-paid metering, combined with customer centric business models that have evolved from off-grid solutions, will help demonstrate a path to utility reform.
Though early days, our hope is that Konexa is one of several new models that will deliver a much-needed step change to accelerate progress towards SDG7. Having supported the business to launch, SF will play an early-stage role to enhance its ability to serve lowest-income customers while seeking second-stage support to take it to scale. We will share learnings and insight from this new approach as the work progresses.

Q: Configuring JmsToolBox for JBoss EAP 6.3 (HornetQ 2.3.x) JMSToolBox is a tool for browsing queues in a jms provider.
But it's not possible to configure it for browsing in JBoss EAP 6.3 (HornetQ 2.3).
Anyone tried this and can provide the right configuration?
Thanks in advance,
Mario

Update 2017-02-28:
With the help of the JTB author everything works now.

*

*There was a problem in the version of JTB i used. This was fixed with JTB 3.8. The problem was that the bundled hornetq clients (version 2.4.x) had a problem with connecting to older versioned hornetq servers (version 2.3.x). This seemd to be a known bug.

*The user/role used for the connection has to have the permission "manage".

@titou10: Thank you very much for your help!

A: I'm the author of JMSToolbox.
JTB should work with HornetQ. At least it does on my test workstation.
Did you follow the instructions to setup JMSToolBox for HornetQ?
What exact problem do you encounter?


We're delighted introduce you to Rebecca Screen who, as a naturopath and health coach, brings a wealth of knowledge and experience about nutrition and health to the Baby Bistro team. Not only does Rebecca advise us on the best ways to develop healthy, organic options for babies, toddlers and now, with our Big Eats range, older children, she has also agreed to share her extensive knowledge with you all on our blog.
When you buy Baby Bistro certified organic children's food for your little and most precious ones, you know you are buying pure, healthy, nutritious and delicious food, with no nasty chemicals.
Organic food is how Mother Nature intended – grown, processed and handled without the use of synthetic chemicals, artificial fertilisers, or genetically modified ingredients (GMOs).
There is evidence that organic food is safer, more nutritious and better for you than non-organic food – especially if you are a child. Children are more vulnerable to toxins due to their immature and still developing brain, digestive system, detoxification and immune systems. A child's natural protective barrier – the blood-brain barrier – is not fully intact until at least two years of age; which exposes children to toxins such as heavy metals, which can affect the brain.
Children also have a larger intake of food per kilo of body weight, which makes them more susceptible than adults, to the effects of toxins. Toddlers eating mostly organic food have been found to have less than one sixth the pesticide residues in their urine, compared to children who eat conventional foods.
Considering all this, we can see why it is so important to reduce children's exposure to toxins – particularly during their early years.
To ensure you are purchasing genuine organic products, check for a certification label.
At Baby Bistro we are very proud to provide you with high quality products, that have passed stringent requirements, and are delighted that the majority of our range is now certified organic by Australian Certified Organic (ACO). When you see a certification number and logo, you know that there is a seamless chain of organic integrity in every step in the life of that product – from farm to your babies and children.
As a health care professional and mother of two children, Rebecca understands first-hand the importance of good health and nutrition, from pre-conception, across the life-span.
Her journey with good food, health and natural medicine began as a young child. She remembers her Mum's nutritious home cooked meals, having fun baking, and using food as medicine to help some common health complaints. This progressed into early work as a Dental Nurse, before she found her true passion and graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Health Science – Naturopathy, at the Southern School of Natural Therapies (Melbourne). Today, as a Naturopath and Health Coach, Rebecca loves helping people understand and improve their health and vitality. She focuses on areas such as children's health, digestion, women's health, fertility, weight management, stress and fatigue.

Q: Two signature wilcards side by side
 I'm quite sure someone already has asked this question before. However, I can't find an answer to my question so I thought I'd ask you guys.

As the title says, I'd like to have two signature lines next to each other with 2 names below them. So far I've written this code:
\begin{center}
    \hbox{
        \vbox{------------------------------------------------  \\ Name 1} \hspace*{2cm}
        \vbox{------------------------------------------------  \\ Name 2}
         }
\end{center}

However it seems like the first \vbox is swallowing the other one and it visually looks like this (I know, nothing special to see here I guess):
Any idea how I could solve this problem (two \vboxes in one \hbox, or maybe another solution with two \vboxes)?

A: No need for \vbox really. You can define your wildcard as a \parbox:
\documentclass{article}

\newcommand*\wildcard[2][5cm]{\vspace*{2cm}\parbox{#1}{\hrulefill\par#2}}

\begin{document}
Some text...

\begingroup
  \centering
  \wildcard{Name 1}
  \hspace{1cm}
  \wildcard{Name 2}
  \par
\endgroup

Oak Shadows Golf Course suitable for school complex, architect firm says
Jon Baker TimesReporter.com staff writer
NEW PHILADELPHIA A representative of the GPD Group told members of the New Philadelphia Board of Education Tuesday that there is no reason why a new educational complex could not be built at Oak Shadows Golf Course.
"It's a great site," said Rodwell King, senior project manager for the project. "The aesthetics are great. It's located in an appropriate place. It doesn't have any negatives."
The school district has signed an agreement to purchase the golf course for $3 million, contingent on approval of a bond issue by voters in March. Eventually, both a high school-junior high school and an elementary building would be built on the 280-acre site.
The entire project would cost about $100 million, with the state paying 55%.
GPD Group conducted an environmental site assessment. As part of that assessment, it did nine soil borings on both sides of Oak Shadows Drive. The report indicates there are no barriers to building on the site.
According to the report, current flooding and water issues on the land are man-made problems that were part of the irrigation plan for the golf course. There are simple solutions to properly deal with the storm water that is currently being diverted to the property from a housing development.
King said about 10% of the site is in the flood plain of Beaverdam Creek and a smaller portion is in the floodway, where building is not permitted. Parking lots and sports fields could be located in the flood plain.
He noted that there are four gas wells on the property, and there is a record of mining operations in the northern part of the property, where development is not planned.
A traffic study for the site will be completed by the end of November.
Following King's presentation, King, Superintendent David Brand and board members spent more than 40 minutes answering a barrage of questions about the project from audience members.
Residents questioned the $3 million purchase price, suggested that a third party review the environmental site assessment and asked how the district would manage flooding on Hillandale Road.
A series of questions focused on access to the property, with residents expressing concerns about whether roads and bridges in the area would be able to accommodate increased traffic and school buses.
"Those are city questions," King responded.
Brand said school officials have been in discussions with city leaders right from the start. He said the city has committed to help the school district with the project.
Board member Dave Frantz said the school district's first priority was to evaluate the location. The next step is to determine things such as whether there is enough drinking water and what improvements need to be made to roads in the vicinity.
Another question focused on the fact that the mineral rights underneath the golf course are not part of the purchase agreement. Schools Treasurer Julie Ervin said the district's attorneys are researching that.

Board member Chris Weaver acknowledged that the district still has work to do.
"We feel like we have identified what could potentially be a site," he said. "There probably isn't a site in the city that doesn't have some flaws. There's probably every place we would want to go, there's some potential issue."


Background Immunogenicity of anti-TNF-α drugs may affect both safety and efficacy. Several authors have found antibodies reacting against biological agents in the sera of rheumatic patients who failed a biologic therapy. Infliximab (IFX), a chimeric monoclonal antibody which contains 25% mouse-derived proteins, induces the formation of antibodies up to rates of 60%. Some case reports and histological studies have demonstrated the involvement of the Th1 response following the immunization versus a TNF-α blocker. To our knowledge no study has still attempted to demonstrate that TNF-α blockers may induce Th17 responses.
Objectives To investigate whether the immunogenicity of a biologic agent may affect the Th1 and Th17 compartment, after performing a validation assay of the test.
Methods The whole blood samples was collected from a cohort of 10 healthy volunteers, 15 drug-free patients affected by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) according to EULAR/ACR 2010 criteria, 20 RA patients treated successfully with IFX and 20 RA patients who discontinued IFX due to a lack of efficacy or adverse events. Peripheral Blood Monunuclear Cells (PBMCs) were cultured in presence/absence of 50 μg/ml IFX. Th1 lymphocytes were identified as IFNγ, IL2- secreting, Tbet-expressing CD4+ T cells, and Th17 lymphocytes as IL17, IL21-secreting, RORγT-expressing CD4+ T cells. The variations in the percentage of Th1 and Th17 T cells following the treatments were analyzed by flow cytometric analysis. Data were analyzed with Student's T Test. Unpaired T test "type 3" for unequal variances with a two tailed P value (Excel) was used. Significance was set at P<0.05. 10 healthy subjects and 10 RA drug-free patients were used for validation assay.
Results Twenty RA patients who had a loss of response to IFX or who developed an adverse event (females 16; mean age 61.3±12.2 yrs, mean disease duration 13.4±7.2 yrs) were compared with 20 matched RA controls (females 15, mean age 57.0±12.2 yrs, mean disease duration 18.1±9.5 yrs) successfully treated. Patients failing IFX developed Th1-Th17 responses following incubation with IFX 50mg/ml whereas responder patients did not. Indeed, IFX increased significantly the percentage of both Th1 and Th17 T-cell subpopulation (p<0.01and p<0.05, respectively) in patients failing IFX. In contrast, IFX incubation reduced significantly both Th1and Th17 T-cell percentage (p<0.05) in responder patients (Fig.1a,b,c,d).
Conclusions Subjects affected by RA may have an impairment of peripheral tolerance, which could favour the development of an aberrant immunologic response against biological drugs. The loss of response as well as adverse events to IFX may derive from a paradoxical activation of Th17 or Th1 lymphocytes following sensitization, thus worsening the inflammatory status related to the underlying disease.

\section{Partially Quenched Chiral Perturbation Theory (PQChPT)}
We will introduce PQChPT
following the formulation in ref.\ \cite{BG}.
For simplicity, we will restrict ourselves
to the case in which  there are 3
quarks $u$, $d$ and $s$, with masses $m_u$, $m_d$
and $m_s$ respectively, and a set of $N$
degenerate quarks $q_S$ (with common mass $m_S$)
(the arguments can easily be generalized to
other cases). We wish to consider
lattice computations in which only the
$N$ quarks $q_S$ contribute as sea quarks.
Hence, we add three additional {\it bosonic}
quarks $\tilde u$,
$\tilde d$ and $\tilde s$ with the same other
quantum numbers and masses as their counterparts $u$, $d$ and
$s$, which will cancel the sea-quark effects caused
by the $u$, $d$ and $s$ quarks.

If one assumes that, as in unquenched
QCD, the strong interactions between
these quarks are responsible for chiral
symmetry breaking and confinement, one expects
Goldstone mesons  corresponding to the breakdown of
the graded chiral symmetry group
$SU_L(3+N|3)\times SU_R(3+N|3)$ to
$SU_{L+R}(3+N|3)$  by the vacuum state
(quark masses can be incorporated like in full ChPT).
However, the spectrum of Goldstone mesons is
enlarged relative to full QCD, and is described
by the $(6+N)\times (6+N)$ hermitian matrix
\begin{equation}
\Phi=\pmatrix{\phi&\chi^\dagger\cr\chi&{\tilde{\phi}}\cr}\ ,
\end{equation}
where $\phi$ is the $(3+N)\times (3+N)$ matrix of ordinary
mesons made from the $3+N$
ordinary quarks and antiquarks, $\tilde \phi$
is the corresponding
$3\times3$ matrix for bosonic-quark mesons,
and $\chi$ is a $3\times
(3+N)$ matrix of fermionic
mesons made from a bosonic quark and an ordinary antiquark.
One can then construct, using the unitary field $\Sigma$
defined through
\begin{equation}
\Sigma \equiv \exp{(2i\Phi/f_p)}\ ,
\end{equation}
and the diagonal  mass matrix $\hat M$ with entries
\begin{equation}
m_u ,m_d, m_s, m_S,\cdots,m_S,m_u,m_d,m_s
\end{equation}
on the diagonal (where $m_S$ occurs $N$ times),
the $O(p^2)$ Euclidean partially quenched chiral Lagrangian as:
\begin{eqnarray}
{\cal L}&=&{f_p^2\over 8}\; {\rm str}\left( \partial_\mu \Sigma \partial_\mu
\Sigma^\dagger \right)\nonumber \\
&&-{f_p^2\mu_p\over 4}\;{\rm str}\left({\hat M}\Sigma+{\hat M}\Sigma^\dagger\right)
\nonumber \\
&&+{m^2_0\over
6}\; \Phi^2_0 +{\alpha\over 6}
\left( \partial_\mu \Phi_0 \right)\left(\partial_\mu \Phi_0 \right),
\label{L}
\end{eqnarray}
where {\rm str} denotes the supertrace, and
$\Phi_0 \equiv{\rm str}(\Phi)$
is invariant under the chiral symmetry group, and
is called super-$\eta'$. $f_p$ is the tree-level
weak decay constant;
$m_0$ and $\alpha$ are parameters introduced through
the $\Phi_0$ terms.

\section{Interplay between $m_0$ and $m_S$}
The $O(p^2)$ two-point functions can be read off
from the Lagrangian eq.~(\ref{L}). In particular, let us consider
the $\eta'$ two-point function
(in the mass-degenerate case $m=m_u=m_d=m_s$,
and with $\alpha=0$ for simplicity).
The two-point function reads  \cite{BG}
\begin{eqnarray}
\langle \eta' \eta' \rangle =\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!
&&{1\over p^2 +m^2_\pi}\nonumber \\
&&+{-m^2_0 \over (p^2 +m^2_\pi)^2}
{p^2 +M^2_{SS} \over p^2 +M^2_{SS}+Nm^2_0/3}\ , \label{tp}
\end{eqnarray}
where the tree-level pion mass-squared $m^2_\pi =2\mu_p m$, and
$M^2_{SS}=2\mu_p m_S$.

A number of comments is in order.
First, the combination $m^2_{\eta'}=M^2_{SS}+Nm^2_0/3$ is the
mass-squared of
the super-$\eta'$
at tree level.
Second, in the situation in which the sea quarks are integrated
out (hence their dynamical effects are absent), which
mathematically corresponds to setting $N=0$ or taking
$M_{SS}$ much larger than other relevant energy scales
({\it i.e.} external momenta, $m_0$ and  $m_\pi$),
the last factor in eq.~(\ref{tp}) turns into unity and the two-point
function degenerates into the form  predicted by fully quenched
ChPT, with the double-pole term which gives rise to ``quenched
chiral logarithms." In the partially quenched case, the double pole
is also present for $M_{SS}\ne m_\pi$.
The sea-quark dynamics is encoded in this last factor in which
the interplay of the two scales $M_{SS}$ and $m_0$ is evident.
We will show below in an explicit example
how this interplay occurs in physical quantities.
Third, one can also envision integrating
out the super-$\eta'$
when  $m_0$ is much larger than the other mass scales. This is
the limit considered in ref.\ \cite{Sharpe}.
Finally, in the unquenched theory, which is obtained by setting
$N=3$ and $m_S=m$, we obtain for the two-point function
\begin{equation}
\langle \eta' \eta' \rangle_{full} ={1\over p^2+m^2_\pi +m^2_0}\ ,
\end{equation}
in which the double pole has disappeared.
Again, the $\eta'$ decouples from the theory if, in addition,
$m_0$ is heavy compared to other energy scales.
This corresponds to conventional ChPT
in which $\eta'$ is not explicitly represented.

We thus observe that PQChPT contains different mass
scales (all assumed to be below the chiral symmetry breaking
scale $\Lambda_p$): that of the valence quarks and those introduced
by  partial quenching, {\it i.e.} $m_0$ and $m_S$.
In particular, the ratio of $M_{SS}$ and $m_0$ is
arbitrary. One can develop
PQChPT systematically and it ``interpolates" between
the fully quenched and unquenched theories.
It allows us to assess the situation
in which $M_{SS}$ is of the order $m_0$, which is
likely to be the case in typical
partially quenched lattice computations.
We have calculated the nonanalytic one-loop corrections for
the chiral condensate, weak decay
constants, Goldstone-boson masses,
$B_K$, all  with nondegenerate valence-quark masses,
and the $K^+ \rightarrow \pi^+ \pi^0$ decay
amplitude with degenerate valence-quark masses.
In the following, we will focus only on the
one-loop mass predictions in the degenerate valence-quark
limit. We refer to ref.\ \cite{GL}
for further discussion of other quantities.

\section{Method}
The complete $O(p^4)$ predictions of PQChPT contain contributions
from
$O(p^4)$ operators whose associated coefficients are
largely unknown. To further complicate the matter,
there are also one-loop contributions, whose
coefficients contain unknown $\eta'$ coupling constants,
proportional to $\log{m^2_{\eta'}}$ coming from
$\Phi_0$ tadpoles, which thus
give rise to a complicated dependence on $m_S$ and $m_0$.
To simplify and still make useful predictions, we
adopt a procedure in which only the
loop corrections nonanalytic in the valence-quark
mass are kept, and
each fixed value of the sea-quark mass $m_S$ corresponds
to a different partially quenched theory. This then allows
us to ignore contributions from $\Phi_0$ tadpoles.
We also expand the results in $m^2_\pi /m^2_{\eta'}$
for further simplification. This preserves the
property that PQChPT predictions give the fully quenched results
for $M_{SS}\to\infty$, or the unquenched result for $M_{SS}=m_\pi$
(and $m_0\to\infty$),
when comparing the nonanalytic one-loop corrections.
As the fully quenched and unquenched results already existed,
this offers a nontrivial check of our results.

The comparison between our results \cite{GL}
and those of ref.\ \cite{Sharpe}, however,
is actually more delicate, and deserves some more explanation.
In our case, we keep the super-$\eta'$, whereas in ref.\ \cite{Sharpe} the
super-$\eta'$ is integrated out. One would therefore in general expect
that in order to ``match" the two theories, we would need
to adjust the bare parameters. For the quantities considered
in ref.\ \cite{GL}, it turns out that, at one loop, all nontrivial adjustments
come from $\Phi_0$-tadpole contributions. Since we did not
include such contributions, we conclude that,
for the comparison, no adjustment is needed.

Eventually, one can obtain
numerical estimates of one-loop corrections,
taking, for example, a value like $700$ MeV
or $1$ GeV (as in refs.\ \cite{GL,GLquenched})
for the cutoff $\Lambda_p$
in the chiral logarithms.  The difference should gives an idea of
the size of the unknown contributions from $O(p^4)$ operators
and $\Phi_0$ tadpoles.

\section{Physical Predictions}
The mass-squared for the pions with degenerate valence quarks
at one loop then reads
\begin{equation}
\left[ m^2_\pi \right]_{\rm 1-loop} =m^2_\pi \left(
1-{2\over 3(4\pi f_p)^2}I \right)\ ,
\end{equation}
where
\begin{equation}
I=B+\left(B+C\right)\log{m^2_\pi \over \Lambda^2_p}\ , \label{full}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
B={(m^2_\pi -M^2_{SS})(m^2_0 -\alpha m^2_\pi)\over
  m^2_\pi -M^2_{SS} +{N\over 3}(\alpha m^2_\pi -m^2_0)}\ ,
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation}
C\!\!=\!\!-m^2_\pi {\alpha (m^2_\pi -M^2_{SS})^2\!\! +\!\! {N\over
3}(m^2_0 -\alpha m^2_\pi)^2
\over
            (m^2_\pi -M^2_{SS} +{N\over 3}(\alpha m^2_\pi -m^2_0))^2}\ ,
\end{equation}
or, after the expansion in $m^2_\pi /m^2_{\eta'}$,
\begin{equation}
I={\cal{M}}^2 -Am^2_\pi
+\left( {\cal{M}}^2
-2Am^2_\pi
\right) \log{m^2_\pi \over \Lambda^2_{p}}\ , \label{I}
\end{equation}
and
\begin{eqnarray}
&&{\cal{M}}^2 \equiv {M^2_{SS} \ m^2_0 \over {M^2_{SS} +Nm^2_0 /3}}
={3y\over 1+Ny}M_{SS}^2  \ , \\
&&A\equiv{\alpha M^4_{SS}+Nm^4_0/3\over\left(M^2_{SS}+N
m^2_0/3\right)^2}
={{\alpha+3Ny^2}\over{(1+Ny)^2}}\ ,
\end{eqnarray}
where $y=(m^2_0/3)/M^2_{SS}$.

We will examine the  coefficients of the
chiral logarithm in eq.~(\ref{I}), which is particularly sensitive to
the chiral limit, in more detail.
{}From (partially) quenched
lattice data, it is estimated that $m_0^2/3$ presumably has a value
$m_K^2/2\;{<\atop\sim}\;m_0^2/3\;{<\atop\sim}\;m_K^2$ ($m_K=496$~MeV
is the physical kaon mass)
\cite{Sharpem0,delta}. Typical lattice computations have $N=2$ and
$m_K^2\;{<\atop\sim}\;M_{SS}^2\;{<\atop\sim}\;2m_K^2$. These values of
$m_0^2$ and $M_{SS}^2$ correspond to $y$ ranging from $y\approx 1/4$ to
$y\approx 1$.
This leads to ${\cal M}^2/M_{SS}^2=1/2$ for $y=1/4$ and to
${\cal M}^2/M_{SS}^2=1$ for $y=1$.  For $y\rightarrow\infty$ one obtains
${\cal M}^2/M_{SS}^2=3/2$. This shows that for relatively heavy sea
quarks,
there is a clear dependence of the coefficient of the chiral logarithms
on $m_0^2$.
(Experience with quenched lattice data \cite{Sharpem0} indicates that
it is hard to fit the chiral logarithms reliably,
partially because of the ``competition" of $O(p^4)$ coefficients.
This may make it difficult to see the $y$ dependence of
the chiral logarithms in practice.)

The quantity $A$ also has an effect on the coefficients of the chiral
logarithms, in particular for values of the valence-quark mass of order
of the sea-quark mass.
Taking again $N=2$, we find $A=(8\alpha+3)/18$ for $y=1/4$ and
$A=(\alpha+6)/9$ for $y=1$, while $A=3/2$ for $y\rightarrow\infty$.  It
is
clear that $A$ is more sensitive to the value of $\alpha$ for smaller
values
of $y$.   We note that for $m/m_S=1$, our expansion
parameter $m_\pi^2/m_{\eta'}^2=1/(1+Ny)$
(for $\alpha=0$), so that our results may not be reliable
for smaller values of $y$.  In that case, expression~(\ref{full})
should be used.

Nashville .. We Now Know Who Bit Beyonce!!! Sources Name The Culprit
Earlier this week actress Tiffany Haddish said she saw an actress biting Beyonce at a party in 2015.
Haddish told GQ: "There was this actress there that's just, like, doing the mostest… She bit Beyoncé in the face." Haddish went on to say that Beyoncé said: "That bitch is on drugs. She not even drunk… She not like that all the time."
Page Six news has confirmed the biter as Sanaa Lathan.
The actress denied the allegations earlier in the week, but Page Six reports that 'multiple sources' confirm that Sanaa lathan is the bitter!

Скрытые связи: наука для устойчивой жизни () — научно-популярная книга американского физика австрийского происхождения Фритьофа Капры. В этой книге автор предлагает целостную альтернативу линейным и редукционистским взглядам на мир. Он стремится распространить системную динамику и теорию сложности на социальную сферу и представляет «концептуальную основу, которая объединяет биологические, психологические и социальные аспекты жизни»
.

Содержание

Книга разделена на теоретическую часть (главы 1–3) и более практическую часть с примерами применения (главы 4–7).

Часть первая

Первая часть начинается с введения в теорию эволюции пребиотиков и биотиков и подчеркивает важность мембран в этом контексте. Затем автор подробно рассматривает различные теории познания, сознания, языка и социальной координации. Он утверждает, что все биологические и социальные явления являются результатом сетевой характеристики жизни. Следовательно, системная динамика является подходящим инструментом для анализа таких явлений.

В центральной части своей книги Капра предлагает понять, что жизнь и социальную реальность можно понять, применив структуру из четырех взаимосвязанных точек зрения: формы, материи, процесса и значения. Капра считает, что это системное понимание может значительно продвинуть другие интегративные социальные теории, в частности, теории Юргена Хабермаса и Энтони Гидденса.

Часть вторая

Вторая часть начинается с главы о сложности и изменениях, в которой Капра представляет концепцию управления, которая признает сетевые характеристики всех человеческих организаций. Он объясняет, как обучение и изменения в организации могут быть облегчены за счет изучения биологических наук. Пятая глава ― это глубокая критика глобального капитализма.

Капра берет на себя исследование теории Мануэля Кастельса, который объясняет, как глобализация формируется современными коммуникационными технологиями и сетевыми явлениями. Затем автор объясняет, что он видит глобальную рыночную экономику как машину с серьезными социальными и экологическими последствиями. Впоследствии Капра дает подробный обзор рисков современной биотехнологии и приводит веские доводы против догмы генетический детерминизм. В конце книги автор оценивает рост всемирного гражданского общества, который, по его мнению, проявился в протестах против саммита Всемирной торговой организации в Сиэтле в 1999 году.

Отзывы

Книга имела большой успех и переведена на 8 языков . Рецензенты оценили его как «отличное введение в суть проблемы и логику ответа» и «чудесный синтез, настолько опередивший любую работу в аналогичном направлении, что он установит планку для развития устойчивой мысли на ближайшее будущее».

Q: Pass WP post content to a JQuery plugin (Fancybox) - now with link I've been struggling with this for days... hopefully this will bring some light into it.
I'm building a portfolio WP. It only displays image thumbnails, with a.video elements that call the fancybox. In the  tags, the attributes have the information for the fancybox to load the content. The "href=" is the url of the video to show, the "title=" is the title of the post, etc.
I want to somehow bring the content of the post to the fancybox window and display it as the title (caption under the video).
My approach so far has been to bring the content of the post into the  tags and then passing that content into the FBox .js file.
I've brought the post content (the_content) to a custom attribute for , eventid= and also have brought it to INSIDE the  tags.
I've got that working: the post content are loaded in the index page both as the "eventid=" attribute and as the text inside the  tags.
This is how the Fbox calling element is loaded inside the WP loop in the index.
<a class="thumbnail-frame excerpt-text <?php if($video_url !='' || $embeded_code != '')         : ?>video<?php else: ?>shots<?php endif; ?>"
<?php if($video_url !='' || $embeded_code != '') : ?><?php else: ?>rel="set-<?php    the_ID(); ?>"<?php endif; ?>
href="<?php if($video_url !='' || $embeded_code != '') : ?>#embed-<?php the_ID(); ?><?php else: ?><?php echo $upload_image_1; ?><?php endif; ?>"
title="<?php the_title(); ?>" eventid="<?php the_content(); ?>"><?php the_content(); ?>

However, I'm still having trouble in sending that text into the FBox javascript plugin so that the content is grabbed from the index and loaded in the Fbox.
The most I've done is
 'titleFormat' : function(title, currentArray, currentIndex, currentOpts) {
 return '' + jQuery("a.video").html() + '';

That posts the content of the FIRST post only inside the Fbox (it gets the content of the first a.video element it finds).
I've tried with
 'titleFormat' : function(title, currentArray, currentIndex, currentOpts) {
 return '' + jQuery(this).html() + '';

But it returns a null or undefined value and it prints it in the Fbox.
I'm stuck, I don't know how to grab the specific text content for each post and bring it into the FBox. I was thinking maybe using a global variable?
I'm a student so I'm clearly super novice, I just really want to surpass this obstacle.
Here's the link to the blog so you understand what I'm talking about.
http://realitynext.heliohost.org/wordpress/
Thanks!

A: If you want to get all the a.video elements you need the .each() iterator:
'titleFormat' : function(title, currentArray, currentIndex, currentOpts) {
  var string =  '';
  jQuery("a.video").each(function() { string = string + $(this).html(); });
return string + '';
}

And if you want only the content of the element that was clicked you need this:
'titleFormat' : function(title, currentArray, currentIndex, currentOpts) {
  return '' + jQuery(currentArray[currentIndex]).html() + '';
}
