Q: Programmatically view content of html element loaded from another file I would like to get the contents of a file on the server into a string. What is the easiest way to do this? Right now I am trying:
 <script type="text/template" src="partials/someTemplate.html"
 id="someTemplate"></script>

 <script>
  console.log($('#someTemplate').html()); //nothing comes up
 </script>

A hacky way to do this is:
 $('<div>').appendTo(document.body)
 .load('partials/someTemplate.html', function () {console.log(this.innerHTML);} );

and then get the innerHTML of that, but that's a waste of an HTML element. Any thoughts? I feel like this should be silly easy.

A: Just use $.get():
var html;

$.get('partials/someTemplate.html', function(res)
{
    html = res;
});

A: You basically need to use an asynchronous server request (ajax) to get the content of a file and process it later.
This can be done in pure JavaScript using XMLHttpRequest but the most popular and easiest way to do this is using jQuery's $.ajax function.
$.ajax({
  url: "partials/someTemplate.html"
}).done(function( content ) {
    console.log( "Your returned content is " + content );
});

You can configure this ajax call in many ways as described in documentation, you can pass parameters to the file, cache the request or demand a specific content type to be returned if that is necessary, but given example would do just fine for what you are trying to accomplish.
Please note that there are many ways to do an ajax request in jQuery, like .load(), $.post(), $.get(), $.getScript() and $.getJSON() but those are all just shorthand methods for an Ajax request so if you use those you are basically using an $.ajax with some predefined parameters.
Also, make sure that you need to use JavaScript and an async request at all. Getting content of a file inside some other file is mostly often done using some server side processing language like PHP (require() and include()),.NET, Java etc.,  and while that seems obvious for some people I felt obligated to say that since you didn't provide enaugh information about why you need that content and what you want to do with it.

Accelerated technological modernization is one of the priorities of the Kazakh President's address. Kazakhstan will create new industries and introduce digital technologies as part of the modernization. The existing enterprises have already started modernization. Atyrau machine-builders make the manufacturing automated and robotized. They say, it will save resources and increase labor capacity.
Atyrau Machine Engineering Plant is one of the largest in Kazakhstan. The plant has been oriented towards modern technologies since the independence. As a result, at present, the plant's capacities allow producing unique equipment for the oil and gas industry, which has no analogues in Central Asia.
The plant's management pays much attention to automation of production, improvement of technologies and acquisition of new equipment for labor-intensive work. We have purchased highly efficient welding equipment, which boosts the welding process tenfold, unlike manual welding.
Another high-tech has been launched operates at the plant – the manufacturing of flanges for oil equipment.
Our plant has modern equipment. Our products comply with European standards. We use software for automated lathes. It takes 5 hours to grind one flange on a conventional machine, and 4 minutes – on the automated complex.
Three automated complexes are serviced by only two operators, and the plant can operate round the clock. It means that production time is reduced, and quality is raised to world standards. This increases export capacities. All industrial facilities in Atyrau region are modernizing production lines now. As a result, the region's indicators show dynamic growth every year.

We took the tours from China Private Tours before. And they never disappoint us. We took the train from Shanghai to Suzhou this time. We were met at the Suzhou train station by Cindy and she was great. She taught us so much about the gardens in suzhou, which were amazing, we took a canal cruise with her and understood a lot about the people who live nearby the canal. Cindy took us to the home of a Chinese family that cooked an authentic Chinese lunch for us, which was very good and some of the best food that we ate in the two weeks we were in China. We saw a great museum and the ancient street. Cindy, who speaks very good English and is very knowledgable about the history of Suzhou and China. If we ever get to go back, we will surely use them again.
I booked this tour arelatively short time,everything worked excellent.Mytour guide Lee and the driver Mr Huang were punctual at the Suzhou train Station to come pick us up.The van was clean.warm,comfortable.
Lee was very thoughtful and patient.We didn't feel rushed.For lunch we wanted to try the local food and he picked the perfect place...This lunch was the best during our stay in china!
Lee's english is perfect and he is extremely knowledgeable about the city as well as china!
We wer always felt very comfortable on this tour and can recommend it to anyone.Thand you thank you!!!
This is my first trip to Suzhou, Thanks for Sam's arrangement, it's flawlessly planned and executed.
From the time the guide met us,every aspect of the tour was perfect, the guide was flexible when we wanted to make adjustments;expertly explained the various sites we visited... never missed a beat.
I took the Essence of Suzhou tour through this company. My guides name was Becky and she was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The company was very prompt with communication and even personalized the tour to fit my needs. I highly recommend this tour company and Becky the tour guide. I would also like to note that as a tall, person of color I was a bit of a novelty and many onlookers waned to take pictures or ask questions. Becky was very professional and protective of me and always controlled the situation. I really appreciated her.
This one day tour was excellent! It is a very good value for money and I would kindly recommend it! We arranged the tour through the internet, the inquiries,booking,confirmation were quite easy.The guide called us the night before the tour to our hotel, the pick-up time was exactly on-time. Our guide was very fluent in English and informed us very well about the visited sights. She was polite, helpful and well informed. She even through in a few extra stops for us at no extra charge. She was very kind and gave us enough time to see the old buildings, the canal...and to take enough photos. We had a very nice day!
Our family recently visited Suzhou to do some sightseeing with Leo. We had booked a private tour through China Private tours who had organised our tour guide Leo and a private driver to ferry us around. We had a great visit despite the weather because Leo was a young bubbly guide with a very good command of English and knowledge. The best attraction was Tiger Hill. This was interesting because it was different. A huge leaning pagoda on top of the hill with various other sights on the way up plus local history. Highly recommend it.
We are two couples came from Shanghai to Suzhou by the fast train. And first of all, we have to thanks for China Private Tours giving the recommendations which train to take and how to pick up the train tickets at the station. We were met at the exit by our local guide Alan with a very bright welcome sign which is very easy to find him. He is an amazing man. He speaks excellent English like a native speaker. There are several aspects of Suzhou, China that convince you that there does not exist an appropriate adjective nor collection of adjectives that helps describe the beauty of this place, and Tiger Hill is one very clear example of this. From the pagoda to the beautiful old buildings overgrown with vegetation to the canal surrounding the park. Excellent service, excellent team!
We gained a perfect travel experience from this professional team, especially our tour guide Leo. I strongly recommended Shantang street which is a place to visit and learn about Suzhou history. It was maintain as much as possible to the past with commercialization of shops and river cruise. Walking down the narrow walk way and trying out local cuisine. Worth a trip and the night light around the structure was attractive. Thank you guys!

Having certain medical conditions can affect your oral health. Learn more about how pregnancy, diabetes, cancer treatment, and eating disorders can affect oral health and what you can do to keep good oral care.
Are you expecting? Good oral health is important during pregnancy. In fact, research has shown that there is a link between oral disease and pregnant women giving birth prematurely or to low-birth-weight babies. Taking care of your mouth is important for the overall health of you and your baby. But many women may not understand how pregnancy can affect oral health or what they have to do to maintain good oral care.
Pregnancy causes changes in your body in many ways - and your mouth is no exception. Hormone changes during pregnancy can affect oral health. You may experience oral problems that you didn't have before pregnancy. Pregnant women are at increased risk of cavities, gingivitis, and sensitive gums (such as bleeding when you brush).
Pregnancy gingivitis. Hormone levels during pregnancy cause gum tissue to be more sensitive to plaque. If the plaque isn't removed, gingivitis (red, swollen, inflamed gums that are more likely to bleed) occurs. Pregnancy gingivitis is actually not different from gingivitis that occurs in people who aren't pregnant, but because gingivitis often occurs in pregnant women (especially between months two to eight of the pregnancy), it's called "pregnancy gingivitis."
Pregnancy tumors. This term sounds scary but these tumours are not cancerous. They are growths of gum tissue that appear in the mouth during the second trimester. They usually go away after the baby is born. However, your dentist may remove the tumors if they bleed, prevent you from eating properly or doing proper oral hygiene, or do not go away after the baby is born.
Gingival enlargement. This is an increase in size of the gums and occurs less frequently than pregnancy gingivitis and pregnancy tumors. The gums may enlarge to the point that they cover the teeth completely.
Enamel erosion. Pregnant women have increased acid in the mouth because of morning sickness. The acid causes dental erosion.
metal fillings for cavities. Your dentist can recommend other types of fillings if needed.
routine dental x-rays. Sometimes, dental emergencies require the use of x-rays to help diagnose the problem. If this is the case, your dentist will take all precautions to protect you and your baby (e.g., using a lead apron placed on your abdomen to shield the radiation from you and your baby). Talk to your dentist if you have any concerns.
What can I do to maintain good oral health during pregnancy?
Make an appointment with your dentist as soon as you are pregnant or if you are planning to become pregnant. Go for a dental check-up during your first trimester and get a cleaning done.
Visit the dentist regularly while pregnant. For most people, this may mean every 6 months, but for others, your dentist may have recommended you to visit more or less often (e.g., once during the first trimester and once during the second trimester). Follow the schedule your dentist suggested.
Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. If you can, also brush after each meal. Floss daily as well. Keeping your teeth clean, especially near the gum line, will help prevent gingivitis.
For some women, brushing causes morning sickness. If that's the case, rinse your mouth with water and use a rinse with antibacterial properties or fluoride.
Snack wisely. Pregnancy can bring on cravings for certain foods and for eating more than usual. Try to avoid snacks with high sugar content. Rather, choose nutritious snacks such as fruits and vegetables. After snacking, brush your teeth.
People with diabetes are more at risk of oral disease than people without diabetes. If you have diabetes, it's important to maintain good oral care to reduce your risk of mouth problems such as gingivitis. Common oral health problems in people with diabetes include cavities, gum disease, fungal infections, and taste impairment.
Diabetes lowers the body's resistance to infection and can slow wound healing. People with diabetes may also produce less saliva, which can cause dry mouth and a burning sensation in the mouth. Since saliva helps protect the teeth from cavities, having less saliva can lead to cavities.
are more at risk of oral diseases (e.g., oral infection, gum disease) than people who do not have diabetes. Unfortunately, having gum disease can then make it harder to manage blood sugar.
What can I do to maintain good oral health?
Keep your blood sugar levels under control. Take your medications as prescribed by your doctor and monitor your blood sugar levels regularly. Other ways to keep your blood sugar levels under control include eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. Maintaining good blood sugar levels may help to reduce your risk of oral health problems.
Help prevent plaque formation and acid attacking your teeth: Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. If you can, also brush after each meal. You should also floss daily.
Get regular check-ups from your dentist (and let your dentist know you have diabetes!). For people with diabetes, dentists may recommended dental visits every 3 months. Follow the schedule your dentist suggests. At the appointment, let your dentist know of any changes in your health status and any symptoms you may have (e.g., sores, mouth pain, swelling, or areas of redness in the mouth).
Get treatment for oral infections immediately.
Cancer treatment can affect your oral health, even if you are not being treated specifically for the mouth. Radiation therapy to the neck and head area and chemotherapy help treat cancer, but they can also cause side effects affecting the mouth. Many people undergoing cancer treatment don't realize that a dental check-up is important in maintaining your overall health.
How does cancer treatment affect oral health?
What can I do to maintain good oral health during cancer treatment?
If possible, visit your dentist 1 month before you start cancer treatment. Mouth problems from cancer treatment may occur because a person's oral health is not ideal. Going beforehand may help prevent some mouth problems.
Brush your teeth at least twice a day and after every meal with an extra-soft toothbrush. You should also gently brush your tongue and gums. Use a fluoride toothpaste.
Your dentist may also recommend a mouth rinse. Follow the instructions provided by your dentist. Avoid mouth rinses that contain alcohol, which can dry the mouth.
If you experience dry mouth as a side effect of cancer treatment, your dentist may recommend a saliva substitute. Follow the directions provided by the dentist. You can also keep your mouth moist by drinking lots of water, chewing sugarless gum, or sucking ice chips.
Avoid foods that can irritate or hurt your mouth: Sharp or crunchy food (e.g., potato chips), spicy dishes, or high-acid food (e.g., citrus fruits and juices). Also avoid using toothpicks, which can cut your mouth.
Avoid sugary foods, which can cause cavities.
Call your dentist or doctor if your mouth hurts.
Eating disorders can have a huge impact on a person's quality of life. Eating disorders include anorexia (characterized by extreme food restriction) and bulimia (characterized by overeating followed by vomiting or using laxatives to get rid of the food to prevent weight gain). Eating disorders, in addition to being a condition that requires medical attention, can also have an impact on oral health.
How do eating disorders affect oral health?
Eating disorders can mean the body is not getting adequate nutrition needed for good health. Without all the necessary vitamins and minerals, the gums and other tissue inside of the mouth may bleed easily.
In bulimia, the frequent vomiting can affect teeth. Throwing up causes stomach acid to repeatedly wash over the teeth, causing erosion of the enamel, tooth sensitivity, thinning, and chipping.
Eating disorders can also cause bad breath, mouth sores, tender mouth, dry mouth, cracked lips, sensitivity to hot or cold food and drinks, and changes in tooth colour, shape, and length.
See your dentist regularly, who can help catch oral problems early. For most people, this may mean every 6 months, but for others, your dentist may have recommended that you visit more or less often. Follow the schedule your dentist suggests.
Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. Floss your teeth every day, too.
After throwing up, rinse your mouth with baking soda to help neutralize the stomach acid.

Q: What's the size of the largest patch on Wii U so far? I'm considering buying a Wii U Basic set, but I really do not want to attach external hard drive to the system. I know that it's little opionated, but still, if I would use only disk based games (say 10 at max) and would download about 10 SNES games from virtual console, would internal 3GB would be enough for saved games and possible patches?
As @fbueckert correctly mentioned that that's depend on particular games, I reformulate question a bit: what's the largest patch on Wii U so far (if patches are applied in stack then full patches stack size)?

A: As a response to the titled question, the largest single firmware update on Wii U was the 4.0.0 update which was 701MB.
Regarding the actual file size of Virtual Console games, currently the largest SNES game on the market appears to be Earthbound at a download size of 43MB. Assuming that all the titles you download are at 40MB, you'd be around 400MB of storage for all your titles.

*

*The 8GB Basic Set has approximately 3GB available for data storage and download.

*A certain amount (~5GB) of space is used by the operating system, pre-installed
software, save data, account-related data and other kinds of data.

*Nintendo Land cannot be downloaded onto the 8 GB Basic Set system but you can purchase the game at retail and there is room for save data.

*If you don't have enough storage space, a message will be displayed on screen with the relevant information. You can also go to Data Management in the System Settings to see details about your available storage space.

Sources:
List of Virtual Console Games

A: *

*The first update was around 5GB, according to multiple tweets and sites. See here for an article, and links to those tweets.

*The 4.0.0 update was indeed around 600/700 MB, as said above.

*2.1 was around 600 MB source

*3.0.0 downloading could take up to an hour, according to Nintendo, according to this site. Assuming Nintendo assumes not everyone has a > 1 MB/s speed, it is well under the 5GB of the day-one patch.

*4.0.2 was "rather small", according to this site.

*Update 5.0.0 was also small, very small compared to other in my opinion: it was ~530 MB according to this Reddit post. I bought my secondhand WiiU while it was downloading this update, it was done in under 15 minutes. I don't know the download speed where I bought it, but that's rather fast.
I didn't search for more file sizes, but I think we can take a conclusion here. I found the x.0.0 updates, which should be the largest. The first update, the day-one patch, was by far the largest - 5 GB. After that, each update was between 500-700 MB, with the largest one the 4.0.0 update (from the updates I found and listed above), which is 701 MB. I think that in the future they will most likely be around this size again.

A: Bear in mind that firmware patches will replace many files as well. It's not like each patch takes up an additional 700MB space on your console - a lot of it replaces existing older files. So in the end the actual space taken up on the console should only increase a little with each firmware release.

snRNP facts for kids
Kids Encyclopedia Facts
Small nuclear RNA (snRNP, or 'snurps'), joins with proteins to form spliceosomes. The spliceosomes govern alternative splicing.
The background to this is that, in eukaryotes, most genes code for a protein in separated strings of DNA. This is because, of a total gene, coding bits (exons) are separated by non-coding bits (introns). The process called alternative splicing can produce many possible proteins from the gene parts because the proteins are put together in different ways. Alternative splicing produces alternative messenger RNAs, and these produce different proteins. Spliceosomes control the details of the splicing.
The two essential components of snRNPs are protein molecules and RNA. The RNA found within each snRNP particle is known as small nuclear RNA, or snRNA, and is usually about 150 nucleotides in length. The snRNA component of the snurp is specific to individual introns because it 'recognises' the sequences of critical signals at the ends and branch sites of introns. The snRNA in snurps is similar to ribosomal RNA: it acts both as an enzyme (catalyst) and builds structure.
SnRNPs were discovered by Michael Lerner and Joan Steitz. Thomas Cech and Sidney Altman also played a role in the discovery, winning the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1989 for their independent discoveries that RNA can act as a catalyst in cell development.

How to get the latest news from the web on Google's proxy list
Google is adding a proxy list to its search results, which you can use to see the most popular websites and search engines, according to a report.
Google is adding the proxy list as part of the search results to the Google Chrome Web browser and Chrome for Android mobile app, and the list includes the top five most popular search engines on the Internet.
The list is only available in the Chrome browser.
The new proxy list allows you to search for popular news and news stories on the web, or any site that has a Google+ account, like Google News.
Google has previously added this proxy list for Google News and Google+, as well as for some of its other products.
The proxy list is also available in Chrome and the Google+ apps, according Google.
If you're on Google+ and you search for a website, you can also see all of the news stories that have been published by Google, including all of their newscasts, Google+ posts, and Google+ articles.
Google has said it will be rolling out the proxy lists to other popular Google services as well.
Google isn't alone in adding this proxy feature to its list of search results.
Other popular search providers like Bing, Yahoo!, and Microsoft have added it to their search results as well, ABC News reported.
Google recently added its own news index to its own search results with news and trending topics in the top 20,000 most-searched search results from March.
It added a similar feature for news in April.
Google's search results also include a news section called "News, Technology, and Technology News."
The new news section will show the most news stories from the past week and include links to other Google news, technology, and technology sites.
News organizations and media companies that are looking to get their content to the top of search engine results have been trying to improve the way their content is shown.
But Google's latest update is a major step in that direction, with the addition of a new proxy to the search result list.
Google previously added a proxy for Google+ accounts to its web search results in March, but it did not add this proxy to its Chrome web browser.
Google also previously added Google News to its Google+ search results and its mobile app.
But that proxy was only available for the Chrome Web browsers and not for other Android mobile apps.

Pressure Doesn't Have to Turn into Stress
Category Personal Effectiveness
When I was in my late twenties, I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Doctors operated and told me to hope for the best. I returned to Japan, where I was working, and tried to forget about it. The tumors returned a year later, this time in my liver. After a long search, the surgeons found a new procedure to remove them, but I knew this was, again, perhaps only a temporary fix. I was a mess for the next six months. The hardest part of my illness was my constant anxiety about it coming back.
Then I met a man who changed my outlook. Dr. Derek Roger had spent 30 years researching why some people in difficult situations become overwhelmed, while others persevere. He taught me everything he'd learned, and as I started applying it, my anxiety subsided, even though my situation didn't change. In fact, the cancer came back about five years ago and remains relatively stable in my liver. But I no longer worry about it. Derek became my mentor, and over the past 10 years we have trained thousands of leaders to overcome their stress.
The process starts with understanding that stress is caused not by other people or external events, but by your reactions to them. In the workplace, many people blame their high anxiety levels on a boss, job, deadlines, or competing commitments for their time. But peers who face the same challenges do so without stress. Derek and I often meet executives who have high levels of pressure but low levels of stress, and vice versa.
Pressure is not stress. But the former is converted to the latter when you add one ingredient: rumination, the tendency to keep rethinking past or future events, while attaching negative emotion to those thoughts. Of course, leaders must practice reflection — planning for the future or reviewing past lessons — but this is an analytical, short-term process, with positive fallout. Rumination is ongoing and destructive, diminishing your health, productivity, and well-being. Chronic worriers show increased incidence of coronary problems and suppressed immune functioning. Dwelling on the past or the future also takes us away from the present, rendering us unable to complete the work currently on our plates. If you ask ruminators how they are feeling, none will say "happy." Most feel miserable.
To break this stress-inducing habit, Derek and I recommend four steps:
Wake up. People spend most of their day in a state called "waking sleep." This is when you pull into the office parking lot but can't remember the drive there, or when someone in a meeting asks for your opinion but you've missed the last few minutes of conversation. Since all rumination happens during this state, the first step is to break out of it. You can do this physically: Stand or sit up, clap your hands, and move your body. Or you can do it mentally: Connect with your senses by noticing what you can hear, see, smell, taste, and feel. The idea is to reconnect with the world.
Control your attention. When you ruminate, your attention gets caught in an unproductive loop, like a hamster on a wheel. You need to redirect yourself to areas in which you can take useful action. Here's one exercise we encourage executives to use: Draw a circle on a page, and write down all of the things you can control or influence inside of it and all of the things you cannot outside of it. Remind yourself that you can care about externalities — your work, your team, your family — without worrying about them.
Put things in perspective. Ruminators tend to catastrophize, but resilient leaders keep things in perspective for themselves and their teams. We tell people to try three techniques: contrasting (comparing a past stress to the current one, i.e., a major illness versus a missed sale), questioning (asking yourself "How much will this matter in three years' time?" and "What's the worst that could happen?" and "How would I survive it?") and reframing (looking at your challenge from a new angle: "What's an opportunity in this situation I haven't yet seen?" or even "What's funny about this situation?")
Let go. The final step is often the hardest. If it was easy to let it go, we would have done it already. We find that three techniques help. The first is acceptance: Acknowledge that whether you like the situation or not, it is the way it is. The second is learning the lesson. Your brain will review events until it feels you've gained something from them, so ask yourself, "What have I learned from this experience?" The third is action. Sometimes the real solution is not to relax, but to do something about your situation. Ask yourself, "What action is required here?
While struggling with cancer, it took me a couple of years to train myself to follow these steps. But ultimately it worked. My stress levels went down, my health improved, and my career took off. More heartening, I discovered that everything Derek had taught me could be taught to others, with similar results.
Nicholas Petrie is a senior faculty member at the Center for Creative Leadership and the lead researcher and creator of its Change Equation, which shows leaders how to change in ways that minmize stress and maximize results. He works with CEOs and their teams to create resilience strategies for organization.

Held every summer, this is one of Europe's largest scale dance festivals. This year's festival's opening performance was BIT, a piece by Maguy Marin based on the thought of French linguist Émile Benveniste and set to tantalizing techno sounds. At the festival's main venue, the Volkstheater, there will be performances by three representative Belgian dance companies, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker & Rosas, Wim Vandekeybus / Ultima Vez, and for the closing performance, Need Company. And, other leading companies including Amagatsu Ushio's Sankai Juku, Canada's Marie Chouinard Company will be part of the five-week program.
Also on the program is a group of works that cross the borderline between visual arts and contemporary dance, which will be performed in a venue that occupies an entire floor of the Leopold Museum in the MuseumsQuartier. In this open space will be held performances by choreographers and dance artists including Xavier Le Roy, Chris Haring, Akemi Takeya, Ian Kaler and Ivo Dimchev.
In the 8:tension series introducing young choreographers, there are 13 works have been chosen this year from Europe, America and Brazil. For participants in this series, the Casinos Austria Prix Jardin d'Europe and the FM4 Fan Award 2016 will be awarded to outstanding works.
The predecessor to this festival is the Vienna International Dace Week launched in 1984 by the Brazilian-born dancer Ismael Ivo and others. It began initially as a workshop festival but soon performances were added and in 1988 it took on its present name. Today it has become one of Europe's leading festivals inviting internationally renowned choreographers and companies such as Wim Vandekeybus and Marie Chouinard, La la la Human Steps, Rosas, Joseph Nadji and Emio Greco to name a few. In 1996, it also established the scholarship system danceWeb-Europe.

OES's co-op student becomes an inventor | OES Inc.
Proceeding his final year of high school, student Gordon Ngo, worked at OES for a summer to develop his idea for an Operator Alert System for motor vehicle safety. It was a novel idea and backed by significant research. With support from OES, Gordon was encouraged to take the invention to the next level by applying for a US patent. After three years since applying for the patent, we were very pleased to receive notification from the United States Patent and Trademark Office that the patent application was granted, and an official patent successfully attained.
Gordon is currently enrolled in a combined degree program for Engineering and Medicine; The Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry with Biochemical, Civil, Electrical, Integrated, Mechanical and Software Engineering (BESc and MD), at Western University (formerly, The University of Western Ontario). We are very proud of Gordon and looking forward to seeing what his bright future holds.

Q: How to map ember object hierarchy to Haxe I have just started to create Haxe externs (strictly typed class definitions)
based on the yuidoc output from the ember source.
Now I need help to understand how to implement the kind of mixing architecture special to Ember.
For example the Ember.Object extends the Ember.CoreObject - however I wasn't able to locate any constructor inside the latter - is there any direct call to new Something() in Ember at all?
Then Ember.Object uses Ember.Observable which in turn imports cacheFor from the ember-metal / lib / computed.js module - is this relation reflected inside the data.json output of yuidoc or will I need to parse the sources directly in order to collect all methods into my class definitions?

A:
is there any direct call to new Something() in Ember at all?

For the most part, no. You're supposed to call Class.create() not new Class().

is this relation reflected inside the data.json output of yuidoc or will I need to parse the sources directly in order to collect all methods into my class definitions?

The data.json file should contain most of the documentation written. The problem you'll experience is that not everything is documented (mostly private API).

Where can I find the Container Class API docs?

In the source code.

When the future of genetic engineering arrived on Sebastian Cocioba's doorstep, it was affixed to the back of a postcard from Austria with a little bit of packing tape.
Cocioba is a 25-year-old college dropout whose primary interest is tinkering with plant genetics in a lab he cobbled together from eBay. The lab is located in the spare bedroom of his parent's lavish apartment in Long Island City, across the river from Manhattan. A few months ago, an internet friend from an online bio-hacking forum had sent him the lab's latest addition: attached to that postcard was Crispr-Cas9.
Sebastian Cocioba with the Crispr protein shipped to him in the mail by a friend.
Deposited onto a flimsy fragment of filter paper and wrapped in plastic, it looked like a tab of acid. But inside that crude packaging was the key to an incredibly precise DNA-editing technology that will revolutionize the world.
Crispr—a memorable acronym for the mouthful, "clustered regularly-interspaced short palindromic repeats"—gives scientists an unprecedented ability to decrypt and reorder genes, opening up a dazzling and terrifying universe of possibilities. This year, a top national security official called gene-editing a weapon of mass destruction—along with nuclear detonation, chemical weapons and cruise missiles—because it could be used to create "potentially harmful biological agents or products."
Crispr is every sci-fi future that we have ever dreamed about or feared: designer babies, unlimited energy, and the end of genetic diseases like Alzheimer's.
Researchers have used Crispr to make wheat resistant to a damaging blight; to alter 62 pig genes so they could, theoretically, grow human organs for transplant; and to edit a human embryo to repair a gene that causes a fatal blood disorder. But the biggest bonus in the eyes of DIY biohackers is that it makes at-home genetic experimentation astonishingly accessible.
Sebastian Cocioba in his parents living room, in which dozens of plants he has grown help mask the scent of his parents' smoking.
"If the genome was a book and you wanted to sneak a sentence into the middle and make it look like it was there the whole time, Crispr can do that," Cocioba explained, vibrating with enthusiasm as he held between his thumb and forefinger a plastic-wrapped Pandora's box.
Crispr, which arrived on the science scene in 2012, has made genetic engineering simpler, faster, and cheaper—and galvanized the movement of DIY scientists who want to try their hand at genetically modifying plants, insects, animals, and, someday, maybe even humans.
David Ishee, a 30-year-old Mississippi resident who never attended college, first started doing at-home experiments after seeing kits to make glowing plants online.
Crispr, he said, will vastly expand the kind of experiments he's able to do at home. Software like DeskGen already allows anyone to easily design custom DNA sequences and then have them delivered to their doorstep for a few hundred dollars. Crispr will allow Ishee to then insert those genes into a host organism with relative ease.
"Crispr is great because it's simple and cheap to use for precision genomic insertion, editing or deletion with a lot of different kinds of cells," he told me. "That gives me a lot of new options. Up until now, all the genetic edits I've made have been limited to plasmids and unguided genomic insertions. That limits the kinds of cells I can work with and the types of work I can do."
When synthetic biology's most prominent scientists gathered last year in Napa to debate the ethical implications of genetic engineering, Nobel prize-winning molecular biologist David Baltimore lamented in his opening remarks that the simplicity of Crispr has been overhyped.
"It's not something you can do in a garage," he said.
Last year, a former NASA researcher raised more than $65,000 on Indiegogo to create and sell DIY Crispr kits, suggesting in a YouTube video that his NASA lab could be recreated "on a kitchen table." This month, Genspace, a community DIY bio lab in Brooklyn, began offering Crispr workshops, spurred by the demands of a "Crispr craze" among DIY biologists.
Cocioba is currently plotting his first Crispr experiment: knocking out the gene in Oxalis corniculata (a.k.a. sourgrass) that can cause kidney stones for people and animals that eat too much of it. Willy Wonka, he told me, is his inspiration. Wonka may have been a little nuts, but he dedicated his life to engineering fantastical new things to give to the world.
"I want to make white plants, blue plants, glowing plants, plants that when you touch them they curl up, all kinds of things," Cocioba said. His current obsession is genetically engineering a blue rose—none of the other blue roses on the market, he says, are truly "cerulean blue." But his ultimate goal is to be taken seriously as a scientist. He wants to make useful discoveries, engineer interesting plants and publish his work.
Just as a bunch of engineers and computer hobbyists in a garage ushered in the modern era of personal computing, it could very well be biohackers like Cocioba that lead the way to the future of genetic engineering—that is, if somebody doesn't try to stop them first.
Cocioba's tiny laboratory is cramped, but it has an expansive view of the Manhattan skyline. When I first visited, I looked out the window and immediately thought about a different city (London) and a more traditionally trained scientist (Alexander Fleming). Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928, basically by accident. While trying to find a cure for Staphylococcus, he went on vacation and forgot to sterilize his petri dishes or close the window. He returned to find that a cure had literally blown in, in the form of the common mold Penicillium notatum. His carelessness sparked the revolution of modern antibiotics and saved millions of lives.
Accidents happen all the time in science. Sometimes it's the result of being sloppy, like that time drunk physicists discovered that red wine increases superconductivity. Sometimes it's just good fortune, as with the discovery of Crispr: researchers in the 1980s and again in 2012 were looking for something else entirely when they made the discoveries that led to the development of the gene-editing technique.
But not all accidents are guaranteed to have happy outcomes. What if, instead of penicillin, something had blown into that window that caused Staphylococcus to undergo a super-strength mutation and the bacteria had gotten out? If Alexander Fleming couldn't remember to sterilize his lab space and shut the windows, what can we expect of a 25-year-old working out of his parents' spare room?
I looked around at Cocioba's assembly of gene guns, DNA amplifier machines and grow-light plant experiments and imagined a dystopian future in which some kind of plant pathogen escapes from the lab and kills off all of New York City's plant life.

This kind of doomsday hand-wringing has caused some to wonder whether DIY biology should require licensing and regulation, or perhaps be stopped altogether. At a "collaborative biohacking" panel I attended at the technology conference South by Southwest this month, a woman who introduced herself as a "Ph.D. scientist" stood up to pronounce her horror that amateurs were performing synthetic biology experiments at home.
Sarah Richardson, a panelist and molecular biologist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, responded that it's not that easy to cook up a pathogen, even for a scientist with a Ph.D.
"Frankly, I'm less scared of the people in their garages than the people in institutions," she said.
Besides, she went on, some rewards are worth the risk.
Other scientists I spoke to echoed Richardson's insistence that my fears were misplaced. There are limitations to what a DIY scientist can actually pull off. You might be able to order custom DNA sequences on the internet, but there is no Amazon for human embryos nor YouTube videos explaining how to implant them into humans. And you still need to master the technical know-how of what to splice and where.
Also assuaging the fears of scientists is that DIY bio is a tight-knit community with a rigorous sense of ethics and safety.
When DIY bio first started to develop in the early aughts, it was mainly individual hobbyists working out of labs in their garages. Now, a decade-plus later, the amateurs, enthusiasts, students and trained scientists that make up the movement tend to work together in designated community labs built out in commercial spaces.
The DIY bio community's demographics and how they have changed over time.
A recent study of the DIY bio community by the Woodrow Wilson Center debunked the "seven myths about do-it-yourself biology," such as the belief that DIYers work alone, are averse to government oversight and could unleash a deadly epidemic.
Todd Kuiken, an environmental scientist who worked on the study, told me that while scientists tend to only think about the ethical implications of their work after the studies have already been done, the DIY bio community started organizing early on to establish its own safety and ethical principles.
"They organized in a much more proactive way than I would say the professional scientific community has," Kuiken said.
Through DIYbio.org, biohackers can access the community's code of ethics or ask a professional biosafety expert a question. The FBI's bioterrorism division keeps tabs on the community but has basically asked that it police itself.
Plus, Kuiken pointed out, the same regulations that govern what scientists are allowed to release beyond the laboratory doors apply to DIYers, too.
Cocioba told me that while there's no laws that say whether or not it's legal to create genetically modified organisms in his home, he decided to be cautious and only use his home lab for research. He uses the School of Visual Art's bioart lab, where he is a scientific consultant, to do the actual modifying.
"At home I don't really have anything more dangerous than the stuff that's under your kitchen sink," he said.
Kevin Esvelt, the pioneering Harvard University biologist working with Crispr and gene drives to engineer malaria-resistant mosquitoes, told me that he'd like to see the culture of ethics and safety that exists in the DIY bio world move into institutional science.
"I'm really not concerned about the DIY bio community right now," he told me. "So you turn fruit flies yellow? So what. Natural selection is still going to weed that out."
Esvelt has concerns about the ethical implications of Crispr, but like Richardson is more wary of the professionals than amateurs. The biggest threat that the DIY Crispr enthusiast poses, he said, is stoking public fears about the mad scientist in their kitchen.
"It's fine to do experiments in your kitchen as long as you sterilize it," he said.
The best way to improve the safety of science, he said, would be to create new rules requiring all scientists to register their work.
"As long as science is done behind closed doors, people have no reason trust science," he said.
I went into this story terrified of the calamity DIY biologists could unleash on the world, but experts convinced me that even if biohackers had the technical ability to create something terrifying, they probably wouldn't. When forging a path to the future, there is always risk, but opening up the doors of science to so many new minds makes the risk seem worth it.
If Cocioba is the citizen scientist looking to make his way into the scientific establishment using a back door, Josiah Zayner is the anarchist trying to smash that door down.
Zayner wants science to be for the masses. He's sick of articles that tell us scientists have made major strides in some amazing technology, such as invisibility cloaks, but that a version for the public is still at least 10 years away.
Josiah Zayner, spinning down some DNA in his apartment kitchen.
After getting a Ph.D from the University of Chicago, Zayner went on to NASA as a synthetic biology fellow to work on engineering bacteria for terraforming Mars. But his scientific interests were not always in line with NASA's so he decided to set up his own lab.
"All my friends right now are working post-doc jobs earning $40,000 a year with their Ph.D. It's this cultish system and the idea that one day they could have their own lab holds them in it," he told me. "I'm just like f*** the system. Science is a classist thing. DIYbio can break that down."
So he created an Indiegogo campaign to sell Crispr kits to anyone who wants them and launched The Odin, an online store that sells inexpensive DIYbio supplies. His big dream is to help people with cancer learn how to hack their own disease by using Crispr to delete the part of the body's cells causing them to mutate.
Zayner does all of his work from a two-story apartment in suburban Castro Valley, California, where he recently moved because it has a garage for his lab. He had me do a simple experiment with him to turn yeast red in order to demonstrate how easy it is to use Crispr. We worked in his kitchen, right alongside all the dirty bachelor-pad dishes.

What Zayner and Cocioba have in common is the fundamental belief that you don't need a Ph.D. to be a scientist. Both are driven by the view that any sharp, scientifically inclined mind can contribute to the body of science—and that the more minds are dedicated to solving the world's scientific problems, the faster we'll solve them.
The computer programmer is a fitting analogy. Computers were the domain of government and academia until the equipment became relatively cheap and small. It was only then that a band of determined hobbyists and engineers formed the Homebrew Computer Club, leading us all down the path to our modern world of smartphones, tablets and social media, where everyone is a computer expert of sorts.
Right now, the genetic engineering revolution is in its early days, comparable to the point in the Homebrew revolution when hobbyists were making computer memory by wrapping magnetic tape around a copper wire. The mainstream biohacker's day has not yet come but it almost certainly will.
Zayner told me that most people who write to him about using Crispr want to create something novel and silly, like a glow-in-the-dark cat. But genetic engineering, he told me, will one day solve all of the world's troubles. He believes the biggest hurdle to getting there is getting people familiar enough with technologies like Crispr so that they realize how difficult a task it is to engineer harm.
"What's the worst that can happen?" he told me. "Well, obviously the worst that can happen is somebody creates a disease that turns the world into zombies."
But he assured me that won't happen.

[post_ads]Now they're worried about something bigger: a full crackup of the alliance, or at least such a weakening of Washington's security commitments that NATO would emerge deeply damaged.
European Council President Donald Tusk warned European leaders last month that judging by Trump's language, allies could no longer assume that NATO would endure. NATO diplomats are making dark jokes about whether Trump and Putin could unveil a globe-shifting alliance of the sort that helped lead to World War I. Others are considering the legal architecture for a NATO in which the United States is no longer the preeminent player.
[post_ads]Some diplomats say they are puzzled by the gap between Trump's ire and the opportunity for an easy political victory at the NATO summit. Fellow NATO leaders, spooked by Trump, are expected to increase defense spending by 3.8 percent this year, extending a trend that started under President Barack Obama. When Trump took office, only four NATO nations met the guideline of spending at least 2 percent of their annual economic output on defense. This year, eight are on track to do so, with another seven set to get there by 2024. Ahead of the summit, NATO countries have also signed on to U.S. security priorities on counterterrorism and military readiness.
