Background and Objectives: Most athletes suffer from zinc and magnesium deficiency. Zinc and magnesium deficiency can reduce anabolic hormones and reduce performance of athletes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of three months of zinc-magnesium supplementation along with intense endurance training on somatomedin C levels and endurance performance in female Wistar rats.
Methods: In this experimental study, 24 mature female Wistar rats, were randomly divided into three groups of 8 each: (control, intense endurance training, and intense endurance training+zinc-magnesium supplementation(. The training protocol consisted of running on treadmill for 3 months (5day/week). In the supplement group, in addition to standard meal and water, 227 mg of zinc sulfate and 10g of magnesium sulfate, were used per liter of water. One week before the end of the period, the subjects' endurance performance, was assessed, and 24 hours after the last training session and after 8 hours of overnight fasting, blood samples were collected. Then, plasma level of somatomedin C, was measured. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc tests.
Results: In this study, three months of endurance training along with supplementation, had no significant effects on serum somatomedin C levels of the groups (p=0.23), but endurance performance of the endurance training+supplementation group, significantly increased compared to the control (p=0.00) and training without supplementation group (p=0.00). Also, the endurance performance of the training without supplementation group, significantly increased compared to the control group (p=0.003).
Conclusion: According to the results, zinc-magnesium supplement may be cautiously taken into account as a factor in improving endurance performance in female rats.
Keywords: Endurance, Zinc, Magnesium, Insulin-Like growth factor I, Rats.

Consider how much pain medication patient will need until follow-up with primary care doctor. Ideally, patient should have enough pain medication to last until his/her follow-up appointment (when taken correctly).
Give clear instructions on how to take medication safely, including discussing potential side effects and what to do if pain becomes uncontrolled (return to emergency room/call clinic).
If being discharged on pain medication different from medicine received while inpatient (e.g. patient received IV morphine while inpatient, but will be dicscharged on PO oxycodone), then convert (using equianalgesic tables or equivalence calculator) patient's total 24 hour inpatient pain medication regimen to near equivalent dosage of pain medication regimen patient will be able to take as outpatient (i.e. what is available at patient's pharmacy or what insurance will cover).
Consider whether patient will have decreasing need for pain medications in days following discharge.
Discuss with patient that the ultimate decision about further prescribing of pain medication will be based on primary-care doctor's assessment. If can concerns about safety of prescribing pain medications to patient, discuss with primary care doctor to coordinate plans.
Ultimately, same rules apply to prescribing opioids at discharge from inpatient setting as they do in outpatient setting (i.e. if potential risks risks outweigh expected benefits from medication, then the opioid should not be prescribed).
If patient has existing opioid agreement w/ primary care doctor, the primary care office should ideally be contacted to coordinate care, and last doses of narcotics should be documented if patient is expected to submit urine toxicology screen at primary care doctor or substance abuse program.
Include pertinent information on discharge summary (e.g. urine tox results, medications prescribed at discharge).
Discuss non-pharmacological ways to deal with pain (e.g. warm/cold compress, massage, acupuncture, physical therapy).

Story posted November 22, 2017 in Arts & Entertainment by Lauren Smith.
Country music's favorite couple, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, have finally put out an album together, The Rest of Our Life. The two have been featured on numerous songs of each other's in the past, but this is their first duet album together. The power couple have been married for 20 years and have three kids together. The Rest of Our Life shows that their love for each other and their family just keeps getting stronger.
The two had just finished their Soul2Soul tour where they played some of their new songs for their fans. McGraw and Hill balance each other well. Their voices blend perfectly together and their harmonies make for country music gold, but it lacks the intensity you'd expect from two of country's biggest voices.
The 11 new tracks on the album have the two singing in unison on most of the songs, but McGraw gets more singing time and has a stronger presence on the songs. That may have to do with him being more in the spotlight with his touring and acting in recent years. Hill took a break from music to focus on raising their daughters.
The Rest of Our Life is mostly ballads. The title track has McGraw singing the first verse, sounding very vulnerable. He stretches his voice to new limits as he sings in falsetto, a sound we usually don't hear from him. The two harmonize on the chorus and Hill takes over the second verse. They go back and forth throughout the song to meet up again in the chorus. Hill's voice has a larger range than McGraw's and she pushed his notes to be higher. The song is accompanied by mostly a piano.
The first single released from the album, "Speak to a Girl," came out in March and had fans not so patiently waiting for their joint album. They called it a, "special song about truth, honesty and respect." It is an important song for the country music community because the lyrics are about respecting a woman and the right way a man should speak to a woman, where most country songs lately have lacked that. McGraw noted how extremely special this song is for him because he is the father of three daughters. "That's how you talk to a woman/ That's how you speak to a girl/ That's how you get with a lady who's worth more than anything in your whole world," the two sing together in the chorus.
"Speak to a Girl" was the first song we heard from Hill since 2014 and she proved she was ready to comeback by letting her vocals take lead on the final chorus. All though the song just made it into the top 20 on Billboard's U.S. Country Airplay chart, coming in at No. 19, McGraw and Hill made enough of an impact with it that hopefully fellow country stars will follow in their footsteps to write songs with deeper meanings.
"Cowboy Lullaby" is mainly just McGraw singing. The soft ballad is slow and full of romance as it paints a picture of two lovers in the beauty of the countryside with wild horses, as any song with the word "Cowboy" in it always mentions. Hill gets to mostly sing on "Lie to Me" and lets her powerful vocals soar to high ranges as McGraw takes a seat to sing the backup vocals quietly. Even though the song is about a failing relationship, it is clear that is not the case for McGraw and Hills relationship.
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are lucky in love in The Rest of Our Life, but the album did not meet expectations. They are two of the biggest acts in country music with a pocket full of hit songs between the both of them, but most of the songs on this album are forgettable and won't be hits. All though the album wasn't the success fans were hoping for, McGraw and Hill prove their love is a success.


Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eye Pen in Blackest Black claims to stay on for 16 hours and be easier to apply "than traditional liquid liquid liners." It has a felt tip applicator and Revlon recommends storing the liner horizontally. There is 0.056 oz / 1.6 g of product and the price varies depending on the retailer.
My favorite liquid eyeliner in pen style is Stila's Stay All Day Liquid Eyeliner (review here) and so I will be using that to compare the Revlon liner to. In the above picture, the Stila liner is on top. Revlon's applicator is thicker and more stiff, which can be a pro or con. There was a short learning curve for me and I believe this liner would work better for those who are new to the pen style of liquid liner. The stiffness allows for straighter lines and precise application. I prefer a more flexible liner so that it can curve and flow around my eye better though. Unlike the Stila liner, the Revlon liner has stayed stiff even months after using it.
I did the above swatches with one swipe each. The Stila liner is more pigmented than the Revlon liner, but the Revlon liner can be built up to create that same darkness.
In the above eye swatch, you can see how thin the liner can be applied. I find the best way to do this is to just lay the applicator horizontally and just touch the lash line.
In the above eye swatch, I winged out the liner and it was so easy to do. I also just laid the liner horizontally from the end of the wing and connected it to the pre-drawn line.
Even though Revlon claimed that this liner could stay on for 16 hours, I did see smudging / smearing not only in the inner corner, but the outer corner too. I did try to give this "test portion" more wiggle room because my eyes are slightly watery and I tend to touch the inner corner a lot, but it was more noticeable than any other liner (liquid or other formulations) I've tried.
Final Thoughts: This liner is good for beginners, but the lasting power is very disappointing. I don't hate this, but I much prefer other liquid liners over this one. My sister has very oily lids and said that the L'oreal Infallible Super Slim Liquid Eyeliner lasts all day for her and even though I haven't tried that one personally, I'd rather recommend that one. Revlon has some great products, but this liner just isn't one of them.
Below are some additional packaging pictures.
Have you tried this liner? What liquid pen style eyeliner is your favorite?
Aww, thank you! I've spent years perfecting applying eyeliner. It was the only makeup item I was really into from 7th grade to the end of high school. I used to have a monolid on one eye and a hooded lid on the other too so it was a nightmare trying to get them even. Good thing the monolid miraculously turned into a hooded lid over time for me hahaha I think the drugstore lacks in a good pen style liquid liner too! It's probably my favorite style of liquid eyeliner.


This Potato Pancakes Recipe is the best way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. This cheesy mashed potato pancakes recipe is well loved by everyone in our family. This is just about the only way that my kids will eat mashed potatoes and by "eat," I mean they wolf them down!
There's just something about that beautiful cheese pull with each one that makes these completely irresistible. Potato pancakes are quick and easy to make and have the simplest ingredients.
Sometimes the best recipes are the simplest and YES, it's totally worth it to make mashed potatoes just to have these potato pancakes! P.S. Don't miss the sweet little taste test with my son at the end of the video!
All that melty cheese! I want these all over again. Seriously my friends, these are GOOD! I love how forgiving these potato pancakes are. We usually wing it and "eye-ball" the recipe except for when we measured everything just for you!
*This recipe works best with mashed potatoes that are not ultra creamy and buttery, and if they are, you may need a little more flour for them to hold a patty shape. This recipe is not intended for use with instant mashed potatoes.
Time Saving Tip: Use a trigger release ice cream scoop, scraping the scoop against the side of the bowl to quickly and easily create uniform patties.
Cheesy potato pancakes are the best way to use up leftover mashed potatoes and yes it is absolutely worth it to make mashed potatoes just for this recipe!
Fill a 5 Qt pot with water. Add 1 Tbsp salt and peeled quartered russet potatoes (2 lbs or about 7 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered). Cook until easily pierced with fork. Drain well and mash in 4 Tbsp butter then let cool to room temp. Mashed potatoes can be made 1 - 3 days ahead.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups mashed potatoes, 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup flour and 2 Tbsp chopped chives. Use a potato masher to mash the mixture together until well mixed. If the potatoes are too loose to hold a patty shape, add flour a Tablespoon at a time.
Place a heaping tablespoonful of potato mixture between your palms and form into a round, 1/3" thick patty. Dredge both sides of the pancake in bread crumbs and set on a cutting board. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat with enough oil to lightly cover the bottom of the pan. Once oil is hot, add patties in a single layer and sauté 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining patties, adding more oil as needed. I usually have 2 skillets going at once to finish sooner.
*Recipe works best with mashed potatoes that aren't super creamy. If they are very moist, you may need a little more flour for them to hold a patty shape. Do not use instant mashed potatoes.
If you try this mashed potato pancakes recipe, let me know!! Oh p.s. you can also use dill if you don't have chives.
Tell me how can i get your shared recipes .
I happened upon your site completely by accident, and I couldn't be more pleased! Growing up my next-door neighbors with refugees who emigrated to the US from Ukrayina, when it was still a country! She was always feeding me, but I was a kid; I didn't remember the names of the recipes (never mind the Cyrillic! *grin*). YAY!!!
Would you think an air fryer would cook these just as well?
I wish to know if I can use your recipes in our family cook book as long as I give you the credit for it.
Love all your recipes. I'm a old Hungarian gal myself, so these recipes take me back. My grandson taught me how to cook. Still, use the old recipes.
Christmas cookies, poppyseed and walnut rolls are always a big hit. Do you have a cookbook out to purchase?
Hi Natasha, what is the possible substitute for the eggs? My daughter is allergic with eggs.
Can you tell me how many potatoes I need to make 4 cups mashed potatoes?
I baked mine last night…I was not having much luck with frying because they were falling apart (I realize now, I think I was using too much oil to fry them in).
Looks great, will defenitely try it.
I'm a huge potato lover. This looks awesome. Thank you, will definitely give this a go. The simple recipes are always the best!
Can I bake them instead of frying? I feel weird putting an egg on it and not having them enough time to let the egg cook.
Would it be good at 350 for around, 8-10 minutes?
Wow. This is awesome. And so kid friendly! I just happen to have left over potatoes and cheese.
They were so good the next day i made same thing except double..and i added a few other leftovers.
A bit of parmasean and mexican blend cheese.
And since i had no fresh greens i added several different kinds of dry ones..i think chives…basil…rosemary!?
Oh and i mixed plain with italien bread crumbs.


I love celebrating everyone's Birthdays, making sure there is at least one good thing in their day. I make cakes for everyone at work, they get to choose the flavour. It's always the same thing, vanilla or chocolate. This year things got very wild when one kid asked for ice cream cake….vanilla!
I was thrilled when this weeks birthday cake request was a Chocolate Oreo Cake! I had not made one of these, yet, and I am always up for a challenge!
I am not a fan of Oreos, well any store-bought cookie really. Though, I do love a Dad's Oatmeal cookie, or at least the memories that go along with them. It brings me back to being at my Gramma and Poppa's (who I miss greatly!) when I was little (and grown). My favourite days were spent with them. Gramma always had cookies, there were always at least 5 boxes of cookies in her cupboard above the sink. I only like the Dad's, but would eat just about anything she gave me. Why does food taste better at Gramma's? I would even eat those God awful Puffs, you know the ones, with the cookie, marshmallow and dab of jelly, all covered in chocolate. Blah! Gramma kept them in the fridge, for some reason, which made them that much chewier, but yet I'd eat them! No wonder I was a beast!
Anyways, this was an easy cake to make.
I was pleased how this one turned out! It looked great and smelt amazing!
Everyone loved it! It was enjoyed at work, so I did not get a picture of he inside, but it looked great!
I was asked to make a Confetti Basketball cake for a 10th Birthday. This one turned out pretty good!
I was asked to make a cake for a 75th birthday party. They asked for a chocolate later cake with plumeria flowers. I am not much of a horticulturist, if it's not a rose, tulip sunflower or a few ofhers, I am clueless!
I went searching and decided these would be doable. They initially asked the flowers be made iut of icing. I tried many times, but had to go with gumpaste.
I was fairly happy with how they came out, for a first attempt!
Good heavens, I have not baked in months, and I am back already!
My Mom's had a rough go for the last while, but is on the mend! The woman never asks for anything, ever! When she requested some Lemon & Cranberry Scones I got in the kitchen real fast! Her kitchen, I might add, so the lighting is horrible!
This is another repeat, you can see the original version here, but it's been years and it could use an update.
My 'go to' scone recipe is from Ina Garten. Check out her original recipe. She makes some amazing desserts. I've yet to be disappointed with anything I've tried of her's. I'm guessing it's the insane amount of butter she uses. Mmmmm!
1. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix 4 cups of flour, 1/4 cup sugar, the baking powder, salt and orange zest.
2. Add the cold butter and mix at the lowest speed until the butter is the size of peas.
3. Combine the eggs and heavy cream and, with the mixer on low speed, slowly pour into the flour and butter mixture.
Mix until just blended. The dough will look lumpy!
9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are browned and the insides are fully baked. The scones will be firm to the touch.
10. Allow the scones to cool for 15 minutes and then whisk together the confectioners' sugar and orange juice, and drizzle over the scones.
These scones are always a huge hit! Mom was thrilled. The house had an amazing aroma of lemon and a few smiling faces. Everyone said they were delicious!
If you are looking for a scone recipe, this is a must try! It is very versatile and works with many different flavour profiles.


To appear in the proceedings of BUCLD30. Note: this version is both brief and somewhat theory-sparse.
Phonological patterns often have systematic exceptions in morphologically-derived contexts. In OT, such patterns are often captured with constraints enforcing phonological similarity throughout a morphological paradigm -- e.g. Output-Output Faithfulness (Benua, 2000). In the OT learning literature, it has been argued that phonological learners must have an inherent bias for high-ranking OO-Faith to prevent the acquisition of superset grammars (McCarthy, 1998; Hayes, 2004).
The current study tested for such a bias, asking whether learners are preferentially OO-faithful at early stages of morphological acquisition. Twelve 4-year-old children learned the names of objects in an artificial language, including a novel plural suffix, and then played a 'wug-test' game (Berko, 1958). The wug-test compared participants' production of the same coda-onset clusters in two morphological contexts, where only one was protected by OO-faith. A pair-wise within-subjects t-test (p < 0.01) showed that codas were produced faithfully in fewer clusters where OO-Faith was not relevant (56/112; 50%) than in clusters where the coda was protected by OO-Faith (70/87; 80.4%). These initial results support the claim that children in the process of acquiring new marked structures prefer repairs that satisfy OO-faith, at the expense of other markedness and faithfulness pressures.

  <configSections>

  </configSections>
  <LoggingParameters myconfig="C:mydir\mypath1\mypath2\log4net.config" />

And got the FileInfo with this code (path is not empty anymore)
LoggingParameters config = (LoggingParameters)ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig("LoggingParameters");
FileInfo fInfo = config.MyConfigFile;

This post by Scott Mitchell may help you

A: I would avoid writing configuration access code by hand. It's too easy to foobar. Check out this addin that lets you visually design your configurations. Let it write the boilerplate code for  you while you focus solely on the visual designer and your problem domain.

Rosie and Isabel are keen gymnasts and come up with a complex acrobatic routine for the three to perform at Friday's barbecue party. Daisy is desperate not to let her friends down, but she struggles, especially as Dancer spooks at everything too! Can Daisy and Dancer make a brilliant partnership in time to wow the crowd?


This summer, we carried out a second trial of a slightly steeper approach angle for aircraft landing at Heathrow. This is one of 10 practical steps Heathrow is taking through its Blueprint for Noise Reduction to explore ways to improve the noise climate around the airport.
The international standard approach angle for most airports in the world is set at 3°, except where enhanced obstacle clearance is required (e.g. buildings and high terrain). We believe that a steeper angle is possible and will lead to quieter approaches. In September 2015, we ran a 6-month trial testing a 3.2° approach angle and sought permission to introduce the procedure permanently. The CAA was supportive but requested further data during warm months to consider the effect warmer temperatures have on approach angles flown. A second trial was therefore conducted between 25 May 2017 and 11 October 2017. The data is now being analysed while we investigate options to make the slightly steeper approach permanent, and as such, we have extended the trial for a further 12 months.
We believe that a steeper angle is possible and that this, in conjunction with a number of other Heathrow initiatives, will lead to quieter approaches to the airport. As we have done over the last few decades, we will continue to explore initiatives like this to further reduce Heathrow's overall noise footprint to improve the impacts on the ground. Our long term aim is to introduce approaches of up to 3.5° in the future, and we plan to incorporate steeper angles of descent into our proposals for redesigning the Heathrow airspace as part of the Government's airspace modernisation strategy.

The NRC Prepares for Advanced Reactor Designers to Come Knocking
Jennifer Uhle
Director, Office of New Reactors
Today's conversations about powering civilization in the future often propose carbon-free energy sources. In addition to solar and wind, these conversations sometimes touch on advanced nuclear reactor designs. Designers have yet to submit any of these designs for NRC review, but we expect applications in the future and we're preparing for them.
These technology approaches range from evolutions on proven technology (such as high-temperature gas reactors) to innovative concepts that would re-use the "waste" nuclear fuel from today's reactors.
Jennifer Uhle, second from left, participates in the panel.
I recently took part in one of these discussions at the Third Way group's first Advanced Nuclear Summit and Showcase at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. The NRC contributed to the summit due to its focus – what can agencies and legislators in Washington do to support development of advanced nuclear designs? The NRC's only role is ensuring these designs meet stringent safety standards.
My portion of the discussion involved the NRC's review of reactor designs to meet our mission of protecting public health and safety. As I told the audience, we carry out that work as efficiently as possible so that the NRC avoids becoming a roadblock to deployment of appropriate technologies.
The NRC's looking ahead to potential applications for reactors cooled by something besides water. Our limited advanced reactor budget includes work to stay up to date on this "non-light water reactor (LWR)" technology development. Vendors are considering many non-LWR technologies for future licensing work. We're taking a technology-neutral approach to stay properly positioned to efficiently review whatever vendors submit.
The summit also attracted non-LWR designers, venture capitalists, the Department of Energy, national laboratories, industry groups, universities, media, and think tanks, such as the Clean Air Task Force. Members of Congress attended the summit to discuss proposed legislation related to nuclear power.
Advanced reactor designers told the audience they're targeting deployment in the 2020s to the 2030s, depending on where their designs are in development. The NRC's preparation for potential advanced reactor applications includes our ongoing partnership with the Department of Energy. DOE's support for research and design activities will help vendors gather the information they need for their design applications.
The next milestone in that partnership will be our second advanced non-light water reactor workshop, currently scheduled for June. This workshop will present DOE's strategies to support the development, and NRC's plans for efficient licensing of advanced reactors.

Is it available in the market? I want to buy this mobile.
The other massive down-side is the really rubbish microphone, so people can't hear unless you speak up, or in a closed environment, or put your hand near microphone to drown-out the external sounds. Another massive downside is that despite the large storage, it has a fixed storage for messages, so it only holds about 210 sms messages in inbox, and 200 sms messages in sent items - so pretty stupid thinking from samsung.
Another huge downside is the rubbish cpu, so even browsing menu's is very slow, so web browsing using Opera mini or the rubbish Netfront browser requires a lot of patience!
The only reason I don't replace it is because Android is spyware, iPhone's are too expensive and too distracting, so no other choice. And the newer feature phones from Nokia have terrible display quality (low colour and ppi), and terrible camera, and Firefox OS is too primitive and hard to get in the west, and Symbian is dead and it has massive memory leak issues, so after 2 years the phone will just die by itself.
I've been using this phone since 2009 and the battery still has a 2-3 week durability.
Using this phone since 2009. This week i encounter some problems with the micrhophone. I have to up-close to my mouth so the other person i talk to can hear me well. 3 days battery.
i recourd my telephonic conversation in that time the file type that its recorded is SQCP now i cant manage it many converter i tried many Player i tried but i cant found any result can any one help me that how can i play these file type?
MicroSD FLASH TRANSCEND 16gb hc works ok without uptimes.
Hi Guys, im looking for this phone day and night but i can't find it in stores. Can some1 assist where can i find this phone and buy. i use to have it before but i lost it.
I got this phone in 2008 but luckly switch on this phone in 2012 its amazing. request to samsung please launch next version in touch screen.
I love this phone! I have this for like 3 years now, and except for a few scratches and where the paint has peeled off, and the shorter battery life, it still keeps going.
It also doubles a reliable 3G modem when I couldn't pickup a WiFi signal on my laptop. If there's one thing I could change I wish it could use both Bluetooth and Modem function as the same time, otherwise it's one heck of a phone.

2016 OPEN STUDIO TOUR ARTIST HIGHLIGHT: LANIA D'AGOSTINO
by Flannery Winchester
A brief interview with 2016 Open Studio Tour artist: Lania D'Agostino
Artwork by Lania D'Agostino
Can you tell us a little bit about the work that you do in your studio?
I do figurative sculpture, some are from live models others are smaller figures sculpt in clay and cast in resin. I have a studio just for painting that is overflowing with figurative paintings in bright colors. I use mostly oil paint and charcoal.
What drew you to the medium(s) that you are currently working with?
I have been sculpting and casting figures for the museum industry for over 20 years so I am well versed in the figure. Some of the sculptures I do now use the same materials and techniques that I've learned in my business. The direction that I've been going with these sculptures are based on social issues such as transgender and gender variance awareness, homelessness and Black Lives Matter.
With the sculptures I need to have the direction and intent of the work first but with the paintings they are a direct painting process that is more of a spiritual journey. I usually learn their stories after they are finished.
What is something that you think is unique about your studio or practice?
I have a great space that has so many things going on it can be overwhelming for the first time visitor.
On one end there is the sculpting studio where I do my large sculptures and life casts. This is also where we build the figures for the museum industry and all the Star Wars mannequins. This area has casts of body parts, molds and tools.
There is the inventory area that has many life size sculptures stored along with a large collection of mannequins (which are used for my business). There are many unusual and vintage mannequins which are just a bad habit.
At the other end I have a spacious painting studio that is overflowing with paintings and small sculptures. My painting area reveals my process with years and years of stories on the walls.
For anyone planning a visit to my studio they will want to bring a camera and know it will probably not be a quick stop.
"Knowing" show at gallery
What is one thing you love about being an artist in Baltimore?
I love Baltimore. I chose it for my home many years ago and am more excited about the growing artist community every year. It's a rich city to live and work in.
What are you most excited about for this year's Open Studio Tour?
I'm excited this year to open my studio because I have a lot of new work that has not been shown in any gallery. It's a great opportunity to be able to show people my studio and reveal my process. I always enjoy the conversations I have with the folks that visit.
Check out Lania D'Agostinos' studio at 1440 Light Street! Her studio will be open on Saturday, October 8 between 10am and 6pm.

Five Questions with BOPA Executive Director Bill Gilmore
by Dionne McConkey ⋅ Quote
Get the inside story on Baltimore's arts council, events agency and film office and how it operates with executive director Bill Gilmore.
Q. Tell us a little bit about the history of BOPA and how it came to be the organization that is today.
A. In the 1970s, the office was originally known as the Baltimore Office of Promotion & Tourism because we managed the tourism business back when there really wasn't a lot of tourism product in Baltimore. Things were just getting started at the Inner Harbor, before Harbor Place, the only things that were down there were the Constellation and the Science Center. Then when the Convention Center was built, they established what was called the Baltimore Convention Bureau, which managed meetings and conventions. In the late 80's, the Convention Bureau took over the tourism function to create the Baltimore Area Convention and Visitors Association, so we dropped the "T" and operated as the Baltimore Office of Promotion for a number of years. During the O'Malley administration in the early 2000's, we added the "A" by combining the Mayor's Advisory Committee of Arts and Culture with our office to become The Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts.
Q. Can you tell us a little bit about your background, and when you began working at BOPA?
A. I started in 1980 as a graphic designer. I was recently out of the Master's program at the University of Baltimore and was hired as a part-time graphic artist. Over the course of time, I moved into the art director position, then the opportunity came to become what was then the promotions director, responsible for all the special events. I became the deputy director in the late 1980s, and during the Schmoke administration I was appointed director. So it was a combination of right place, right time, and opportunity.
Q. What does BOPA do specifically for artists and cultural organizations in Baltimore?
A. Obviously we're a funder, and we've been very fortunate to have secured the resources to support programs like the Transformative Art Prize, the Sondheim Prize, our newly created Municipal Art Society Public Art Prize, and the City's Creative Baltimore Fund. We have programs and grant dollars to actually commission work from artists, and through our events like Artscape, Light City, and the Book Festival, we are able to engage the arts community through commissions, programming and performances. We hire a lot of arts educators to staff Bright StARTs and our other arts education initiatives. Every day we get emails or the phone rings from artists or arts organizations that are looking for resources, advice, or opportunities to collaborate.
Q. With only a 50-person staff, how does BOPA manage to coordinate all of its programs? (more than 30) while serving as the city's arts council, events agency and film office?
A. The dedication of the staff, without question, is the #1 ingredient to make all of our programs successful, because you can administer a lot of things and not have the success and positive outcome that we have. People tend to really get into the rhythm of the organization and events that we do annually and seasonally and enjoy making such a positive impact. Our job is to provide a diversity of opportunity, fun events and educational programming. It has a profound impact on the quality of life for the people who are living here and working here, and brings joy to people who are visiting. So, it's a lot of work, don't discount that, but I think the team effort and positive outcome is what motivates us and keeps things moving forward.
Q. What is the most rewarding thing about being BOPA's Executive Director? Would you say it's contributing to the positive impact on the city and quality of life?
A. Yes, on many different levels. I think a lot of people don't realize the jobs that we help facilitate. I mentioned the artists and performers that we hire, but that has a lot of residual effects to secondary spending. A big part of our budget goes into the local economy, and we're providing job security for a lot of artists. And I think it's rewarding just in its diversity, we do so many different things and there's always that next big event.
Q. What is your favorite thing about Baltimore?
A. Baltimore is a wonderful place to live. Its geography, being on the water in the mid-Atlantic region, it's close to so many different things. I think that the pride that people have for the city manifests itself in so many unique ways artistically, but also there's a sense of camaraderie and collaboration here. I've heard so often from people that have moved here how thrilled they are with how people are nice and want you to succeed. People really want to work together and see things through collaboratively.
Q. What is one thing that you like to do in your free time that people might not know?
A. I like to play with my dog, Archie, a black lab rescue.
Q. What exciting things does BOPA have coming down the pipeline in the future?
A. Light City returns for its second year in March. And hopefully, we'll be producing an Orioles celebration for the winning of the World Series this year. We last had one in 1983.

Q: Google Cloud SQL Instance does not start I've stopped my Google Cloud SQL 2nd generation instance on 02 Jan this year.
Today I'm trying to start it again but just receives an error:

"Could not complete the operation"

This is the only info in the logs:

{
   protoPayload: {…}
   insertId: "54775E151DAA9.A2E1542.960A7970"
   resource: {…}
   timestamp: "2017-02-01T10:55:00.523Z"
   severity: "ERROR"
   logName: "projects/hti-info-center/logs/cloudaudit.googleapis.com%2Factivity"
  }

All functions including restoring of backups are disabled as the instance is stopped.
Is there anywhere I can get more information about the instance's current state in order to try and resolve this issue, without having to sign up for a Google Support package?

A: This was suggested by Google support, and worked for me:
try to start your service via gcloud by running the following command:
gcloud sql instances patch [INSTANCE_NAME] --activation-policy=[ACTIVATION_POLICY]

and set the activation policy to "ALWAYS" or "ON_DEMAND".

A: Similar situation it's happening to me, post a comment here: https://code.google.com/p/googlecloudsql/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20log&groupby=&sort=&id=216
It seems that they have a bug with the cloud SQL instances since Jan 25th (although I have experimented a similar error on January 13th).
Very very frustrating...
In your case, if the instance is stopped, have you tried to create a clone or export the data and create a new instance?

A bright, clean fruit-driven nose followed by full but soft Merlot character on the palate.
The finish is clean but firm and does not show the flabbiness sometimes seen in Merlots.
This may be due to the small amount of Cabernet in the blend which gives the wine its backbone.
It is drinking well now but will continue to mature well for a number of years.

My days are often filled with the "vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv" sounds of airplanes flying around the playroom, garage, living room, etc. My son LOVES all things airplanes. We had a left over piece of wood in the playroom and one day my son took it out and sat on it, pretending to fly a plane. I asked him if he would like to make some airplane controls (yes!). We started by flipping through his airplane book making note of all the dials and knobs in the cockpit, then it was time for a trip to Walmart. Once we found the aisle with switches and knobs I let him choose which ones he wanted for his controls. When we got home, we created this - together.
We simply used screws to attach everything. The wooden pieces have holes in the bottom, so we screwed in a screw (leaving some of it sticking out) and stuck the wooden pieces onto the screw.
The wood pieces can be purchased HERE.
Since posting the picture above over a year ago, a steering wheel (AKA apple cutter) has been added - by him - as a steering wheel. He uses his controls often in our imaginary adventures. They are a HUGE hit!

High-pressure recrystallisation - A route to new polymorphs and solvates
Francesca P.A. Fabbiani, David R. Allan, William I.F. David, Stephen A. Moggach, Simon Parsons, Colin R. Pulham
The recrystallisation of organic compounds from solution under high-pressure conditions is shown to be a versatile method for the formation of new polymorphs and solvates. The technique is illustrated by the crystallisation of a new polymorph of phenanthrene from dichloromethane at a pressure of 0.7 GPa, and the crystallisation of a novel dihydrate of paracetamol from water at a pressure of 1.1 GPa. These phases have been characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction. We also demonstrate that the technique can be used to prepare a polymorph that is metastable under ambient conditions. Thus the orthorhombic form of paracetamol was crystallised from ethanol at a pressure of 1.1 GPa.

Nick Cannon Health Scare Causes Him to Quit Radio Show
"The Doctors found blood clots in my lungs and said if I don't slow down and stop working so hard then it's a wrap!" says "America's Got Talent" host
Tim Molloy | February 17, 2012 @ 9:03 AM	Last Updated: February 17, 2012 @ 9:28 AM
"America's Got Talent" host Nick Cannon announced that he would quit hosting his New York radio show because of blood clots in his lungs.
Cannon, husband of Mariah Carey, said his doctors had ordered him to slow down and relax, and that Friday's radio show would be his last.
"Under doctor's orders, I have been asked to put my health first and cut back on some of my professional commitments in order to allow my body to get the rest that it needs to keep up with the demands of my multi-tasking schedule," he said on the website of 92.3 NOW, where he has hosted the "Rollin'" morning show for the last two years. "Even Superman has to sleep."

He elaborated on his health scare on Twitter: "The Doctors found blood clots in my lungs and said if I don't slow down and stop working so hard then it's a wrap!"
Cannon said he still plans to host his syndicated "Cannon's Countdown" and to contribute to 92.3 NOW whenever possible

Neill Blomkamp – Elysium
(Alphacore)
Words: Michael Batchelder
Elysium shows us a dystopian future where the wealthy have fled to the titular luxury space station, and the poor are dying in the disease-ridden slums that now cover Earth. In this vision of the future, the wealth gap has far surpassed today's meteoric number, and Earth's residents constantly attempt to reach this intergalactic paradise to access the lifesaving medical care, but are often killed in the process.
Elysium and director Neill Blomkamp's first feature-length film District 9, have a good deal in common, both in their stunning visuals and in their storytelling. District 9 was set in Blomkamp's hometown of Johannesburg and served as commentary of apartheid-like segregation and violence. Elysium, meanwhile, tackles immigration and healthcare.
The film begins with Max DeCosta (Matt Damon), born in an orphanage and now a factory worker with a history of stealing cars. After an accident at the factory where Max is exposed to radiation, he realizes his only chance for survival is to get to Elysium.
Earthlings, however, are banned from Elysium. His only way to reach the station is by engaging in the dangerous mission of hacking a prominent CEO's brain and downloading critical data from his brain (it's the future after all) in exchange for a one-way ticket to Elysium. Damon is excellent as Max DeCosta, a role similar to past characters he has played, such as Jason Bourne in the Bourne Trilogy.
Opposite Damon is Jodie Foster, who plays Elysium Secretary of Defense Delacourt, whom we first see shooting down immigrant spaceships trying to reach Elysium, and killing dozens in the process. Foster seems one dimensional in this role, and we don't learn much about her other than that she really doesn't like immigrants. I'm also not sure what sort of accent Foster was attempting to pull off in this movie, but it just didn't work – her performance is especially disappointing given her talent and filmography.
The special effects in this movie are excellent, especially the way Elysium has been presented with mansions and greenery along the outer ring. I would have liked to see the film spend more time here and learn more about this place. Instead, it's constant violence and fighting from the time Max begins his mission until the end of the movie.
Technically, the film is daring and inventive. Especially in contrast to an action genre overwhelmingly dominated by sequels and superhero movies, Blomkamp's commentary at times seems smart and poignant. Still, Elysium's sanctimony sometimes reaches tedious levels, demonstrating that subtlety is not Blomkamp's strong suit (he also wrote
the screenplay). The few people of Elysium that we actually see are greedy snobs, hoarding all of their wealth and technology to themselves while the people of Earth are dying. The story would have benefitted from more complexity, even among its villains, or at least more character development, especially for its central characters like Delacourt, about whom the viewer knows hardly anything. Even Max is rather unremarkable and unrelatable. I left the film thinking far more about the action and the special effects than I did any of the characters.

Review: Elysium


The PHPWee HTML compression technology is totally new. It actually parses HTML documents and removes unneeded spaces and verbosity without changing meaning in any way. The output is generally at least as W3C compliant as the input.
If you care to take a look at Google Page Speed tools - page loading speed is becoming not only an important part of web user interface design - but is also starting to affect organic search positioning. Poorly optimized code may be slowing the web down by as much as 20% - even after GZip compression is applied at the server side.
We typically see a 15%+ improvement on page load speed on un-optimized websites by applying phpwee. Even Wikipedia and Github.com can get a boost. The benchmark tests can be found at searchturbine.com/php/phpwee.

Seinfeld: Hulu Reveals Most Watched Episodes Ahead of Festivus
by Cindy McLennan, December 16, 2016
All 180 episodes of the Seinfeld TV show are available to watch on Hulu. Now the streaming service has revealed which episodes Hulu subscribers watch the most. Are you the master of your domain? Can you guess which ones they are? We have the whole list, after the jump.
Created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, the Seinfeld sitcom originally ran for nine seasons on NBC from 1989 to 1998. Seinfeld starred as a fictional version of himself. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richards, and Jason Alexander also starred.
'Tis The Season…For Seinfeld
December 15, 2016 • Press Admin • Categories: Acquisitions
Seinfeld, it's a show about nothing. But for a show about nothing there's something about Jerry, George, Elaine, Kramer – and of course Newman – that have veteran and newcomer fans alike tuning in more than twenty years after the show's finale aired. That's right, you, you and yada yada yada.
Today there are plenty of lists ranking all 180 Seinfeld episodes, from the best Seinfeld episodes of all time to the most underrated, and let us not forget 'The 10 Essential Elaine Episodes'. While devoted Seinfeld fans have been debating which episodes should be named "best of" for almost two decades, we've decided to put an end to this bone of contention — just in time for Festivus!
Hulu Insights took a deep dive into Seinfeld viewing, pulling viewership data since June 2015 to identify quintessential, fan-favorite Seinfeld episodes. With the linear trend as a base-line for viewership, we were able to identify the following six clear Seinfeld fan-favorites — episodes showing a significant spike in viewership compared to the show's average:
6. The Yada Yada (Season 8)
Jerry doubts his dentist's religious conversion; Kramer and Mickey fight over a double date as Elaine undermines a couple's chances at adoption.
5. The Contest (Season 4)
Jerry challenges George, Kramer and Elaine to pool their money in a contest of self-denial. Meanwhile, an excited Elaine looks forward to her data with hunky John Kennedy, Jr.
4. The Marine Biologist (Season 5)
Romance starts to blossom between George and his former college classmate Diane, after Jerry falsely tells her that George is a successful marine biologist.
3. The Boyfriend (Season 3)
While performing his comedy act, Jerry meets Keith Hernandez (as himself), the former New York Mets all-star and one of Jerry's favorite baseball players. But Jerry finds himself competing for his new pal's time with Elaine, who has caught Keith's eye.
2. The Soup Nazi (Season 7)
A demanding soup stand chef bans Elaine from eating his wares.
1. The Pitch (Season 4)
Jerry and George propose to write a television series. Newman blames Kramer for his speeding ticket; Jerry and George are offered a deal at NBC.
We also found that viewership of Seinfeld tends to be linear, not episodic, where by Season 3 viewership settles in and remains steady through the finale. Whether a veteran or a newcomer fan, viewers are watching Seinfeld in the same way they would a long-form narrative program, starting at the beginning and working their way through episode by episode, season by season.
"Wait – what about the Festivus episode?" you ask? Well, although "The Strike" – which featured and popularized the holiday – did not make the fan-favorite list, viewing of the episode during the month of December increased by over 150% last year. Viewers in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle were most likely to tune-in to the Festivus celebration, making up close to 25% of all episode views.
"The Strike" is also the most-watched episode of Seinfeld in the month of December, with viewers more than twice as likely to tune-in than in any other month. In fact, on December 23rd, the day of Festivus, the episode saw 17 times the number of average views than any other day during the six months prior or afterward…proving Festivus is really a "holiday for the rest of us."
So get out your unadorned aluminum Festivus pole, prepare to air some grievances, and curl up with your favorite Seinfeld episode on Hulu. And remember – Festivus miracles do happen!

Q: How to access UI elements in multiple threads? I had a standard foreach loop which I later turned into a Parallel.Foreach(). However in my loop I have areas where I access the UI elements and get and set the UI elements info.
So when I run it I get an error that I cannot access the element as another thread has access to it. There are multiple elements I need to access and the x:Name are stored in the list.
How do I get past this?
Parallel.ForEach(calculatedTestVariables, variable =>
        {
            string idName = "id_" + variable.id;
            var textBox = this.FindName(idName) as TextBox; //need the text from this TextBox

            //some calculations
            int x = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4

            textBox.Text = x.toString();

        });

A: To do this, you need data binding. You may follow such a way,
First create your view model and update your properties:
public class MainViewModel : BindableBase
{
    private string m_TextProgress;
    public string TextProgress
    {
        get { return m_TextProgress; }
        set { SetProperty(ref m_TextProgress, value); }
    }

    public void Run()
    {
        List<Variable> calculatedTestVariables = new List<Variable>();

        for (int i = 0; i < 5000; i++)
        {
            Variable item = new Variable();

            item.id = i;
            calculatedTestVariables.Add(item);
        }

        Parallel.ForEach(calculatedTestVariables, variable =>
        {
            string idName = "id_" + variable.id;

            //some calculations
            int x = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4;

            TextProgress = "" + variable.id + x;
        });
    }
}

Set your DataContext

<Window.DataContext>
    <local:MainViewModel />
</Window.DataContext>

<Grid>

    <StackPanel>
        <TextBlock
            Width="120"
            Height="30"
            HorizontalAlignment="Left"
            VerticalAlignment="Top"
            Text="{Binding TextProgress, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Mode=OneWay}" />

        <Button
            Width="120"
            Height="30"
            HorizontalAlignment="Left"
            VerticalAlignment="Top"
            Click="Button_Click"
            Content="Calculate" />
    </StackPanel>
</Grid>

and call your Run method from GUI side


Greetings, I think I can go in and change the PHP config file to change my settings. Is that the right way to do it? or is there a tool I am missing in the dreamhost panel?
You won't be able to do it from the panel, and you won't be able to change the generic php.ini file provided by DH, as its use is shared by all users, and you do not have the adequate *nix permissions to change it.
That said, there are numerous threads in this forum regarding the installation and use of your own copy of php.ini (as well as compiling your own php - though that is considerably more difficult) to allow you to modify things like maximum file upload size, register_globals setting, etc. Just search.
These generally point you to, and amplify, the information provided in the Dreamhost wiki regarding this purpose - just go to the Dreamhost wiki and search for "php.ini" (no quotes). Good Luck!
Should I be able to put those settings in the php.ini I create?
As I said, this whole discussion has been had, at length, on this forum.
1)RG_Emulation has nothing to do with php config…it is in the globals.php file that is part of the Joomla! distro. Read the Joomla! documents, the comments in the globals.php file, and/or visit Joomla.org, where this is discussed.
Learn to search the forum - if you had searched for "joomla", you would have found this thread - where modifying php.ini for Joomla! (and the rg-emulation) were addressed, solutions found, and example code posted.
I probably should have been more clear in my posts to specifically ask the question.
I'm glad you found the rg-emulation solution !
I'm sure you are correct about the post I referenced (you should not have had to search the forum, as I actually linked the relevant thread for you in my last posting) not specifically referencing magic-quotes, as that user was using PHP 4.4.2, and no magic_quotes setting needed to be changed for that parameter.
I do suggest you carefully re-read the post, however, because, in addition to the max_post and max_upload_size that was talked about in the wiki article, I provided the code to be added to the update-php.sh script to modify the register_globals setting in the php.ini.
Exactly which setting(s) you need to modify in the php.ioni depend upon which version of PHP you are using (also discussed in the post). It seems you are using PHP5, as you are seeing a warning from Joomla! about "magic_quotes" instead of "register_globals", right?
If that is the case, you will not need the line I supplied the other user for register_globals, but will need, instead, a "substitution" regular expression to change the magic_quotes setting.
The wiki only mentions the max_post and max_upload_size, but the forum thread not only talks about the whole process, it also supplies example code as it relates to the register_globals setting; you just need to modify that to make it change magic_quotes.
Yes, you can modify whatever php setting you need using this process. Just carefully review the php.ini file for your version of php (see the wiki to find it), then review the forum post(s) I pointed you to for a discussion of what is involved in changing the setting to be the way you want. You will need to modify the update-php.sh script to remove the substitution for register_globals, and replace it with one to modify magic_quotes, if you are using PHP 5.
Checking both system setting and phpinfo in the Joomla! administrative backend will show the settings you set up.


r.llr llrplot(r) Receiver Operating Characteristic A binary classifier maps an input x to one of two classes, A and B. DET curves have the property that if the underlying scoredistributions for the two types of trials are normal, the curve becomes a straightline. et al., "The DET Curve in Assessment of Detection Task Performance", Proc. from matplotlib import pyplot as plt def DETCurve(fps,fns): """ Given false positive and false negative rates, produce a DET Curve.
Hence, in the EPC framework, the cost is defined as the tradeoff between the FAR and FRR. I plotted a DET curve based on following steps: First, I changed the threshold and count the number of false rejections and false acceptances. Use the --help option on the above-cited scripts to find-out about more options. The minimum value is determined by the discriminative properties of the classifier, and this minimum approaches 0 for a classifier that completely separates the two classes.
Often one wants to summarize the plot in a single metric. Evaluation¶ To count the number of correctly classified positives and negatives you can use the following techniques: >>> # negatives, positives = parse_my_scores(...) # write parser if not provided! >>> T In practice, many detection problems give rise to more-or-less straight DET curves, and this suggests that there exists a strictly increasing warping function that can make the score distributions (more) Normal. The value indicates that the proportion of falseacceptances is equal to the proportion of false rejections.
The probability of a miss, the fraction of target scores below (or equal to) the threshold θ.

Apr 7, 2015 Can you help by adding an answer? Since this makes the axes infinitely long, one has to confine the plot to some finite rectangle of interest.

Traditionally, researchers have used ROC curves where one of the axes is used to describe the complement of an error rate.
Reload to refresh your session. cllr() computes a normalized form of the cross-entropy between the "true posterior" (1 for target trials and 0 for non-target trials) and the posterior resulting from the classifier score when interpreted The diagonal y=x in a DET plot corresponds linearly to a quantity known as d' (d-prime) from psychophysics, ranging from 0 at 50% error to about 6 at 0.1% error. non-target, the lower scores, a.k.a.
