King for a Day…15th anniversary
Home/News/King for a Day…15th anniversary
Faith No More released their fifth studio album King for a Day…Fool for a Lifetime 15 years ago this week in March 1995. It is fair to say that the initial reaction was muted, with a lot of critics and fans somewhat underwhelmed after the splendour of Angel Dust. However, KFAD is now regarded as a minor classic, showcasing as it does the band's genre-hopping at its most extreme and featuring such crucial cuts as Ricochet, Evidence, Digging the Grave and the title track.

Bordin, Gould, Patton: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 14 & 15. (Roddy receives no
writing credits on this record.) It had been previously speculated that Trey
Spruance wrote on 3, 6, 8, 12, & 13. When asked directly, Trey denied nvolvement
on "Get Out", "Star A.D.", "Caralho Voador", and "Last to Know". His account is
"On 'Ricochet', a little help on vocal harmonies and inversions,
nothing big…The guitar parts for 'Evidence', keyboard parts
(chords, and minor chord part in the middle) for 'Cuckoo for Caca',
some of 'What A Day'. 'Ugly in the Morning', the ending guitar riff.
On 'Digging' I just spiced up the chords. [For 'King for a Day'], the
climax Em D C part was mine, that's it. 'Just A Man', a few
suggestions here and there. Maybe a chord turnaround or two, but
nothing major."
"Evidence" was recorded in Spanish, Italian and Portuguese
Guitars on "I Started a Joke" by Dean Menta.
"Evidence (Spanish Version)" re-vocaled at Battery Studios London with Engineer
Steve Bush.

(RMD53421)].
Sample quote: "Among the best cuts are "Ricochet," a portentous anthem reminiscent of "Epic"; "Digging the Grave," which has a grungy feel that isn't completely ruined by Patton's histrionic screaming; "Take This Bottle," a country alchy ballad worthy of George Jones; and "King for a Day," a haunting reverie anchored by Roddy Bottum's atmospheric keyboards."
Sample quote: "King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime remains one of Faith No More's underrated releases."
Sample quote: "Archaic progressive-rock fusion, oddly out of step with the times."
Sample quote: "Although it could never live up to the intensity of "Angel Dust", this album is a lot more approachable and doesn't disappoint."
Addicted to Noise
Sample quote: "For the most part, Faith No More's sound has failed to evolve. Like the great dinosaurs of the past who are now extinct, metal bands must change and adapt to new surroundings or they will eventually atrophy and die. Not choosing the humility of death by breaking up, Faith No More has essentially devolved and crawled back to the anonymity and safety of the great Primordial Lake, home to many of rock's reluctant dinosaurs, where they will eventually, thankfully, be eaten by a shark or large snake."
Sample quote: "Patton has finally abandoned his adenoidal Dickies whine for a more nuanced Jello Biafra-as-Tom Jones thing, which works better than you might think. Though the music still careens from genre to genre as casually as most bands go from chord to chord–there's a song here for every radio format, and you may grow to despise the "Sukiyaki"-flavored blue-eyed-soul song "Just a Man"–King for a Day is never less than coherent, which is more than you can say for Primus."
Band quotes
As previously mentioned on the blog, Metal Hammer's Story Behind the Album feature on the release is a must-read for any FNM fan detailing as it does the circumstances of Jim Martin's departure, Roddy's problems at the time of recording and the band's quest for musical freedom. I've pick-pocketed a few choice quotes from that seminal piece and a few from elsewhere below:
"What I remember most about the recording of 'King For A Day' was that everything was different than it had been before. In the two years before we'd done a lot of growing up but we were… we weren't exactly in a coherent mental state when we made that album – we were all fucked up in some way. And the studio was out in the middle of a fucking forest. It was on this dirt road with nothing but the studio and the cabin for two miles. It was like sensory deprivation. But the good thing about it was we had nothing else to do but record."
"Things for me personally were going to hell. I came out. I saw some friends die. I was with Courtney Love throughout Kurt's final months 'cos she was a close friend and at the same time my own father died. I just holed up and had a nervous breakdown basically. I just realised I had to chose my priorities very carefully. Things like honesty and passion and art. But whilst the album was being recorded, all of that is a real blur for me 'cos of the shit I was going through at the time. And my heroin addiction didn't help. And the suicide of two of my friends didn't help. Nothing helped. Things had to reach a low before I could help myself. My first impulse was to leave. But I couldn't just let it go, it was something I helped start, it's very important to me."
"It was tough with a lot of unknowns, a lot of problems in the band, a lot of insecurity and wondering if we were going to make this record. We weren't a band for a while. Of course we wanted to continue, but there are other circumstances that play a part. We're felt like we were getting old. You can only put up a facade for so long. You get a new guy after new guy, and it's like, how many facelifts can you get? We're not going to have guys drop off and get new ones, and then have Faith No More reunite. Fuck that."
"I think it's us being us, more than anything. I think we finally had the resources to be us on this record."
Mike Patton CMJ New Music Monthly
"We're just trying to write in different ways. I think you just get as much power in a melody as you can out of just straight ahead discordant chord-bashing rock. There's a different kind of tension. If there is a something I can be critical about our past records is, there isn't as much dynamics and there isn't a lot of slow, subtle tension. I really do want to learn how to do that as an artist and be able to develop that ability. We all do."
Bill Gould, Faces magazine
Chart performance
Although retrospectively viewed as a flop, mainly due to us chart performance, KFAD actually peaked in the top ten of the album charts in nine major countries, scoring a number two in Australia and a number three in New Zealand.
In the US, however, the album spent only eight weeks in the Billboard Top 200 and peaked at number 31 on 14 April 1995.
The album spawned three singles Digging the Grave, Ricochet and Evidence. Digging the Grave reached number 12 in Australia and numbers 16 in the UK and New Zealand.

My list:
1. KFAD
2. The Real Thing
3. Album of the Year
4. Angel Dust
5. Introduce Yourself
6. We Care a lot
For me King for a day is the greatest album ever recorded.
Agata March 30, 2010 at 11:42 am
I guess:
1.KFAD
2. Angel Dust/Album of the Year
But it also depends on my mood.
@ Broken Throat I just love Riccochet 🙂
Steve March 29, 2010 at 6:43 pm
Can't pick a top 5. It changes depending on my mood.
Alksyntrs March 29, 2010 at 5:28 pm
Thanks 3d-alex…
Yes, I Wanna Fuck Myself is a good song. I realised recently who was GG Allin (what a surprise!), I first thought Patton wrote it. I'll be glad to read what you got about Green Field.
SeanL March 29, 2010 at 5:11 pm
Here's my list…
That being said, I fucking love EVERY FNM album.
"I chuckle a little when I read the Entertainment Weekly review."
And how about Rolling Stone's review of Album Of The Year when it originally came out. They gave it one and a half stars out of five. That magazine pretty much lost all credibility to me then.
And if I were to rank Faith No More's albums, I think Real Thing would be number one (probably just because it's a sentimental favorite), but I don't know about after that. I'm of the rare breed who truly enjoys the first two Chuck albums as much as the Patton ones. They're worlds different, but I still enjoy them all the same.
Jones March 29, 2010 at 1:48 am
Going with ti mort's idea, if I had to list my favorite albums in order…
The first two are sort of tied, though.
Bobby B Better March 28, 2010 at 3:08 am
I chuckle a little when I read the Entertainment Weekly review. I remember reading it when the album came out. I've always thought FNM were about 5 years ahead of the then current musical scene, especially the last 3 albums, and particularly KFAD. So I agree with the review of the album being "out of step with the times." There are a lot of simularities between this album and what System of a Down were doing years later and getting praise, airplay, and album sales for.
Broken Throat March 28, 2010 at 1:20 am
Remember buying the album and my inital reaction was "shit it's not Angel Dust" but gave it a couple of goes and it grew on me to becom my favorite album. The whole KFAD album was bitter sweet for me, as coming from dublin when it was first announced FNM were to play The Point and was well up for it by that time (November 24th 1995).
The gig never happened (bloddy David Bowie instead that night). I remember writting a letter to London Records at the time complaining (tennager, crap hand writting, jesus i cringe thinking of it). so two years later when no Dublin date was announced t went to Brixton for the Album Of The Year tour. some of the best £ 300 i spent at the time as i went with the attitude "i'll never see them again". God bless last year Brixton, Berlin and Dublin :-).
Gettting off the point but i wanted to check with others……
(i know this is each persons own opinion) but am i missing something with Richoet always thought it was just a good song but i know alot of fans are nuts about it.
and have always said when the day comes i would have Evidence played as i'm lowered into the ground or burnt to ashes any others doing this (FNM tracks) have to admit thought this has been joined by Weezer's Island In The Sun.
JDub March 27, 2010 at 6:08 pm
Ti Mort your list of albums is the same as mine. As far as Star A.D. I think that is the only unchecked FNM song on my Ipod, I hate it. Some people seem to really like it though so it may be a good song just not my style.
I would love to see FNM tour occasionally, and when Mike P and Mike B work on their other projects Billy and Roddy could work on new material. I think a semi active band is the most us fans can hope for. Even though I dream of #1 albums and a superbowl halftime show.
Miss Chievous March 27, 2010 at 3:16 pm
In reply to Ti Mort:
1°) KFAD =>Because if someone decided to do a biopic upon my high school years, this record would be the perfect OST… even though I've been graduated 12 years after his release 😉
2°) Angel Dust => Because it was the 1st album I've bought circa 2005 (yeah, I know it's pretty late but I became addicted very very fast)
3°) Album Of The Year => Because I really love the songs and the experimentations they did on this record EX-AEQUO With The Real Thing => Because it was released in France the week of my birth (June 27th and I was born 5 days after) and because my dad likes Epic
4°) Introduce Yourself => Because Chuck's songs were pretty good but gets a bit old years after years.
5°) We Care A Lot => Because it's the record I know the less but I still love to headbang on it 😀
Oh, and before I forget, I created a "FNM French Community" on Facebook called "Faith No More French Community and it's open to all the French-Speakers people from France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxemburg and so on 😉

Alksyntrs:
An extract of an interview with Roddy:
# ZB- b-sides – have you ever thought about doing a smashing pumpkins type thing and putting your b-sides all together, because a lot of my personal favorites are b-sides.
# RB- yeah, we put out one thing that i think just came out in europe called songs to make love to.
# ZB- is that the same thing that came out in america?
# RB- i don't think it came out in america.
# ZB- no, songs to make love to came out in america.
# RB- oh, it did?
# ZB- yeah, like two years ago.
# RB- well, that was kind of along that line. it seems like most of our b-sides are very sort of quiet.
# ZB- yeah, i know that "spanish eyes" is one i haven't heard you play yet.
# RB- nnno.
# ZB- well, that part after "prettiest eyes in all of mexico," – i just piss myself every time i hear that.
# RB- it's pretty funny.
# ZB- i know that the b-sides from this album, like "absolute zero" a lot of people are surprised that they didn't get on the album and what not. i was really impressed with "i wanna fuck myself" i thought you really stayed true to the g.g. allin d.i.y. ethic.
# RB- that was pretty good, wasn't it?
# ZB- did you play guitar on that?
# RB- i played bass on that.
# ZB- coming from g.g.'s hometown, that really meant a lot.
# RB- (laughing) did it?
# ZB- it really did.
# RB- it's cool, it's such a classic song, you know, it's really good.
# ZB- yeah, when he was in jail, one of his many times, there's this local paper called jam rag, it's a music paper, and he put personal ads in jam rag for pen pals in jail!
# RB- really?
# ZB- yeah, it'd say, "join g.g. and fight oppression," and yadda yadda yadda, and they'd be personal ads, like any other ad. it was so funny.
# RB- what a nut that guy was!
# ZB- yeah, the murder junkies are actually still playing around detroit.
# RB- are they?
# ZB- they played sunday but i didn't find out until yesterday.
# RB- who sang?
# ZB- i have no idea. it said g.g. allin on the flyer, but i think that must've been a joke.
# RB- but yeah, i would like to put out a b-side thing. it would be cool. i mean, the low-tech stuff we've done i really like. i mean, everything that we've recorded by ourselves. anything low-tech i think is great. i like pushing that boundary. faith no more now spends a lot of money when we record. but the fact that it can be done with not a lot of money is such a universally appealing theme. everyone should know that, that you can make really great songs and record them for really cheap. a great song is a great song.
I think I have another one with Billy saying something about the story behind choosing "I started a Joke"…I'll try to find it later…
NoneOfThemKnew: I find that a little hard to believe. The backup singers on Just A Man sound a lot like women to me. =P

Rome - Holiday Tour Packages from India
A city where the modern and old go side by side rather than take on a collision course, Rome is a picturesque travel destination that blurs the line between the past and present and still make you feel the difference. Between ancient iconic landmarks and modern cafes, you can choose to spend your holiday indulging in various sightseeing & activities, or just sit in a corner lazily watching the world go by. Either way, you can write your own story of a Roman vacation.
Top places to visit in Rome
Which places in Rome should be featured in your tale of romance with the Eternal City?
Historical Centre, A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Historical Centre of Rome is only around 4% of the city area but has the most concentration of tourist attractions, which is why it always makes it to the list of places to travel to when in Rome.
The Modern Centre, on the other hand, has a good mix of the old and new. But because it is home to the Trevi Fountain, Castro Pretorio, and other old landmarks, contemporary touches are not as prominent.
Vatican City is an independent state that is not just a popular vacation destination because of its religious significance, but also because of the Vatican Museums, Italian districts of Borgo, Monte Mario and Prati, St. Peter's Basilica, and the Swiss Guards.
When in Rome, travel with an open heart and you will discover places to visit that did not make it to the list of popular tourist destinations, but are still worth visiting.
Top things to do in Rome
Falling in love or wishing you would fall in love is one of the things to do when you visit the Eternal City for the first time. Isn't the Trevi Fountain the perfect place to toss a coin and make a wish?
With plenty of museums and interesting landmarks, sightseeing would be a fun and educational experience. If you can only visit so much during your holiday, pick some of the highly recommended museums or those where you can get in for free. Better yet, sign up for a museum tour so you can check out some of the world's best museums in Rome.
Enjoy a leisurely stroll at the Travestre district and see what a hip Roman neighbourhood looks like. You can then relax in great cafes and trattorie in between.
As a city known for its excellent food and wine, it is only right that you add food and wine tour in your list of things to do during your Roman holiday.
Top attractions in Rome
And so the plot of the tale of your Roman holiday thickens. What attractions would make your vacation unforgettable?
Colosseum - No Roman holiday would be complete without a look at the amphitheatre that provided the world a great example of what stadiums should be like, from the design to construction.
Basilica of St. Peter- This impressive church is not just a major tourist attraction in Rome, but also the centre of the Catholic world. Its cavernous interior can accommodate statues with a height of over 100 meters.
With an abundance of museums and attractions, Italians holds an event called the "Settimana dei Beni Culturali" where everyone can gain entry to these places for free. So choose Rome holiday packages that fall on this week, which usually happens mid-May.
Rome holiday packages from India
Choose from a wide range of Rome holiday packages to choose from. In fact, if you wish to see the best of Italy and Rome during your holiday, it is recommended to sign up for one of the Rome holiday package tours on offer.

In this study, gallium nitride (GaN) nanowire (NW) arrays were grown on a gold-coated Si(111) substrate by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The important parameter that decides the density of GaN NWs was considered to be growth temperature. Therefore, in order to study the effect of growth temperature, we grew GaN NWs at various growth temperatures, namely, 800, 850, 900, 950, and 1000 °C, under identical growth conditions. The optimum growth temperature was observed to be 950 °C, and the diameters of the grown GaN NWs were in the range from 80 to 250 nm, and the average length was 3 μm. The surface morphology and optical characterization of the grown GaN NWs were studied by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), photoluminescence (PL), and cathodoluminescence (CL), respectively. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis confirmed the presence of gallium and nitrogen in the grown NWs. The PL and CL spectra revealed sharp peaks at 366nm with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 102meV and at 3.36 eV with a FWHM of 85 meV, respectively, indicating that the grown GaN NWs were highly crystalline.

Ex-IBM Employee from China Gets Five Years Prison for Stealing Code
Image credit: pexels.com
By Brendan Pierson
NEW YORK (Reuters)
A former software engineer for IBM in China was sentenced to five years in prison after he pleaded guilty to stealing proprietary source code from the company, prosecutors announced on Friday
Jiaqiang Xu, 32, was sentenced on Thursday by U.S. District Judge Kenneth Karas in White Plains, New York, according to a statement from the office of U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman. Xu pleaded guilty in May 2017 to economic espionage and theft of a trade secret.
Leanne Marek, Xu's attorney, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Xu worked as a systems software developer for International Business Machines Corp from 2010 to 2014, according to a public LinkedIn profile. The company was not identified by name in court documents, and did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Xu was arrested in December 2015 after meeting with an undercover officer at a White Plains hotel, where authorities said he was recorded saying he used proprietary IBM code to make software to sell to customers, according to prosecutors.
He was originally charged with theft of a trade secret. The economic espionage charges were added in a superseding indictment filed last June
Prosecutors said the proprietary computer code Xu stole was related to a so-called clustered file system, which facilitates faster computer performance.
Xu, who began working at IBM in China in 2010, had full access to the source code before voluntarily resigning in May 2014, prosecutors said.
According to the criminal complaint filed in 2015, the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2014 received a report that someone in China was claiming to have access to the code and using it for business ventures, prompting the investigation that led to the arrest.

BFI's pride at best of British in Cannes
21st May 2014 16th August 2015 Jason Korsner
BFI staff posing in "Pits and Perverts" T-shirts to promote Pride, closing the Directors Fortnight at Cannes 2014
On Monday over lunch, the head of the BFI Film Find, Ben Roberts, proudly boasted to a group of British reviewers about the work the organisation has been doing over the past year. With two British directors up for the Palme d'Or – Mike Leigh for Mr Turner and Ken Loach for Jimmy's Hall – Roberts laughed that "Mike and Ken" don't even have to tell him what their films are about to get money. "They've put their time in, they deserve it."
But with such established directors being able to get film after film into contention in Cannes, Roberts acknowledged that the BFI had to "work the hardest on the films that find it harder getting across the line," referring to films directed by women or coming from ethnic minority communities. Among those he highlighted was Amma Asante's slave drama Belle.
Listing upcoming British movies with the enthusiasm of a proud father, praising his children's sporting achievements, Roberts announced upcoming films such as a biopic about the artist David Hockney, which he sees as a companion piece to Leigh's Mr Turner, as well as films being screened in Cannes, including editor-turned director Andrew Hulme's Snow in Paradise, part of the Un Certain Regard artistic strand.
But perhaps the film filling the BFI with the most pride was the closing film of the Directors' Fortnight side-bar, Pride, by Matthew Warchus, which tells the story of the unlikely camaraderie that built up between a group of gay campaigners and striking miners in the 1980s. The BFI see Pride as being "the next Full Monty or Billy Elliot." So proud are they of pride that they even posed in replica "Pits and perverts" t-shirts – one of the team had worn one at the original demonstrations, thirty years ago.
To give an idea of the scale of the BFI's work, these were among 34 features backed by the BFI over the past year, with nearly 5 times as many more given help in development. The fund, Roberts says, is about creating new opportunities, with about a third of the film-makers receiving help being first time directors and nearly as many directing for only the second time.

We noticed that in CF patients with diabetes the initiation of insulin treatment was associated with a notable clinical improvement that could not be explained by the treatment of their relatively mild hyperglycaemia. In addition glucose values on home or ward monitoring were often higher than those seen during the OGTT. We therefore gave insulin treatment to four patients with long standing CF, who had weight loss and deteriorating lung function without a clear cause, and had high random glucose values even when their OGTT showed normal glucose tolerance. We report improvement in all four patients in objective markers of clinical status.
Case 1 was a 20 year old male, homozygous for DF508, diagnosed at 6 years of age with failure to thrive and a positive sweat test, with pancreatic insufficiency and stable cirrhosis. From the age of 19 years his lung function and weight had been deteriorating despite trials of corticosteroids, DNase, intravenous and nebulised antibiotics, and nutritional supplements. An HbA1c (4.6%) and OGTT (75 g glucose, baseline 3.8 mmol/l, 60 min 10 mmol/l, 120 min 4.6 mmol/l) were normal. He was given a glucometer to monitor his random post-prandial blood glucose (RBG) concentrations, revealing 11 (out of 30) values above 11.1 mmol/l (6.0–24.0 mmol/l) during a two week period. He was commenced on a trial of Insulatard. Three months later on a dose of 8 units daily, without symptoms or glucose values suggestive of hypoglycaemia, his weight (43.7 kg to 49.4 kg) and spirometry (1.48/3.69 l to 1.78/3.85 l; see fig 1) had increased.
Improvements in FEV1 (A) and FVC (B) after the introduction of insulin therapy.
Case 2 was a 23 year old female with pancreatic insufficiency, no history of liver disease, and a genotype homozygous for DF508, who first grew Pseudomonas aeruginosa in her sputum aged 20 years. From the age of 21 she had problems with weight loss and declining lung function without clear cause. At 22 years of age, because of an RBG of 12.0 mmol/l she underwent an OGTT, which was normal (baseline 4.9 mmol/l, 120 min 6.7 mmol/l), as was her HbA1c (5.3%). She continued to lose weight and was commenced on a trial of Insulatard. Three months later on 6 units daily, without symptoms or glucose values suggestive of hypoglycaemia, her weight (50 kg to 54.2 kg) and spirometry (1.32/1.83 to 1.43/2.00 l; see fig 1) had increased.
Case 3 was a 23 year old female diagnosed at birth with a positive sweat test and genotype DF508/Q220X. She is pancreatic insufficient with hepatosplenomegaly and has consistently grown Burkholderia cepacia in her sputum. Since the age of 22 she had declining weight and lung function. During an infective exacerbation at the age of 22, while also on oral prednisolone, a 60 minute glucose value, after a glucose challenge (50 g), was 12.0 mmol/l. One month later, while no longer on prednisolone, an HbA1c (4.4%) and OGTT (75 g, baseline 4.2 mmol/l, 60 min 4.5 mmol/l, 120 min 6.1 mmol/l) were normal. Glucose monitoring at this time showed that some post-meal values exceeded 11.1 mmol/l. Subsequently she was commenced on a trial of Insulatard. Three months later on 8 units once a day, without symptoms or glucose values suggestive of hypoglycaemia, her weight (46.0 kg to 47.8 kg) and spirometry (1.7/2.8 to 2.00/3.14 l; see fig 1) had increased. No other therapy had been instituted during this period of time.
Case 4 was a 15 year old female diagnosed at birth with failure to thrive and a positive sweat test, with pancreatic insufficiency and no known liver disease. She had been stable until the age of 14 when her weight and lung function started to deteriorate. At the age of 12, because of an RBG of 11.6 mmol/l, she underwent an OGTT (baseline 3.9 mmol/l, 120 min 7.5 mmol/l) and HbA1c (4.9%), which were normal. This was repeated again at 14 years (4.5%, baseline 4.5 mmol/l, 60 min 11.0 mmol/l, 120 min 6.8 mmol/l). She was provided with a glucometer to monitor her glucose concentrations, revealing a number of raised blood sugars (up to 18 mmol/l) and so was commenced on a trial of insulin. Three months later on Novorapid insulin 5 units once a day and Mixtard 30/70 7 units prior to her gastrostomy feed, without symptoms or glucose values suggestive of hypoglycaemia, her weight (29.3 kg to 30 kg) and spirometry (1.02/1.27 to 2.05/2.16 l; see fig 1) had increased.
We report four patients with CF who had deteriorating respiratory function and weight loss that improved with the introduction of small doses of insulin despite having normal glucose tolerance on an OGTT performed within 9 (range 1–9) months of starting insulin. In all cases RBG values exceeded 11.1 mmol/l, suggesting that there was evidence of hyperglycaemia despite the OGTT result. These preliminary results suggest that the appropriate timing of initiation of insulin therapy may need to be earlier than occurs in clinical practice at present.
This small series of consecutive cases does suggest that insulin can result in a significant clinical improvement, even without significant hyperglycaemia as shown by OGTT or HbA1c, although interestingly all cases had multiple RBGs above 11.1 mmol/l. If these results were repeated in a large patient series it would support the early introduction of home glucose monitoring in patients at risk of diabetes, with insulin treatment being introduced on the basis of these results rather than WHO criteria during an OGTT.
The improvement with insulin treatment in weight and lung function seen in our patients has also been seen by Lanng and colleagues in patients with CFRD, as assessed by OGTT, treated with insulin.4 There is, however, also clinical deterioration in weight and lung function 2–4 years prior to the diagnosis of diabetes on OGTT.3,4 Analysis of patients in this prediabetic phase has revealed declining insulin secretion and that the degree of insulin deficiency appears to be correlated with the rate of decline in clinical status.3 These results support the concept that it is the insulin deficient state that leads to the clinical decline and not solely the abnormal glucose metabolism. Insulin is an anabolic hormone with roles in both lipid and protein metabolism, and its absence could potentially have a significant impact on the overall nutritional and clinical status of the patient. The benefit in our patients is unlikely to result from improved glucose concentrations as HbA1c values were normal before insulin treatment and not altered significantly by it.
The development of diabetes is associated with a poorer clinical prognosis with a sixfold increase in morbidity and mortality in patients with CFRD.6 The nature of this deterioration remains somewhat unclear, with debate surrounding whether CFRD leads to the deterioration or whether it reflects an association with the more severely affected, and hence sicker patients. It may be that early insulin therapy is one of the most effective treatments in patients with long standing and complicated CF. We feel that while interpretation from such a small case series is limited, there is sufficient evidence to study this further in a large randomised control study. We propose that in patients with CF clinically significant insulin deficiency may precede the development of diabetes as defined by OGTT.

This is an example of my database (60k rows), I want to find values for x y z (in the code I put "1" just for convenience to run the script but I want to find them!) to have maximum value of P. The target P must be 1 or closed to 1.
I didnt find what I'm looking for in thread with similiar title.
In excel is pretty simple but can't find more than 1 parameter.
Thanx in advance.

A: I'm not satisfied with this answer, but maybe this is something that can at least get you started.
The optim() function finds the optimum set of answers for the problem you're trying to solve, but it looks to me, at least with the toy data, that it finds itself into a local maxima. You'd have to run it several times to find the best parameters, for me it occurs when P = 0.8571429, and even then the x, y, z values can vary quite significantly, which would indicate that there are several equally optimal solutions for this particular data.
database <- matrix(c(51,43,-22,-92,28,-21,68,22,9,-20,-30,-1,-10,10,-10,-5,10,-2,30,-3,-5),ncol=3,byrow=TRUE)

U.S. Virgin Islands Powerball Numbers
The U.S. Virgin Islands became the first territory outside of the United States mainland to offer Powerball when it joined the game in November 2002. It is the smallest lottery of all 47 participating jurisdictions but still generates more than $17 million in ticket sales every year. View the VI Powerball numbers below.
The latest U.S. Virgin Islands Powerball draw took place on Wednesday July 17th 2019, offering a jackpot worth $40 Million. See the winning numbers from the draw, including which Power Play was selected, right here.

Virgin Islands Powerball Rules
To play Powerball in the U.S. Virgin Islands, select five main numbers between 1 and 69 and one Powerball between 1 and 26. You can select your own numbers or ask for a Quick Pick. You also need to decide whether to add Power Play to your ticket or not. The following rules are also specific to the U.S. Virgin Islands.
You must be at least 18 years old to purchase Powerball tickets.
There is no local tax on winnings, but federal income tax still applies at the same rate as the U.S. mainland.
If you win a prize, you need to visit one of the Virgin Islands Lottery's sales offices. There is one on each of the three main islands. For prizes over $1,200, you will need to provide two pieces of photographic identification and complete a claim form. It will take a day for the payment to be made if you win a prize of $1,200 or above. The locations of the lottery offices are as follows – opening hours are listed in Atlantic Standard Time (AST):
Telephone No:
Opening Hours (AST)
St. Thomas 8300 Krondprisens Gade (340) 774-2502 8:00am-5:00pm Monday-Friday

St. John Lumberyard Complex
St. John Ticket Sales Office (340) 776-6676 8:00am-4:00pm
If you win a prize without playing on one of the three main islands, you can mail your ticket to the following address:
The Virgins Island Lottery
5800 Krondprindsens Gade
St. Thomas, VI 00802
You must submit your winning ticket within six months of the draw taking place if you are to claim a Powerball prize in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
When you purchase a Powerball ticket on the U.S. Virgin Islands, you are helping to support communities throughout the territory. The VI Lottery is now recognized as one of the top producers of revenue for the territory, and has benefited the lives of thousands of islanders.
Among the beneficiaries have been the Education Initiative Fund, the Pharmaceutical Assistance Progam, the GERS Retirees Bonus Program, local non-profit organizations, the Horse Race Commission and the Office of Veterans Affairs.
A History of Powerball in the U.S. Virgin Islands
Powerball was launched in the U.S. Virgin Islands on November 14th 2002, ahead of the drawing two days later. The territory's participation was approved by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) following a series of negotiations as the VI Lottery looked for a way to boost revenue. The VI Lottery was established in 1937, making it the oldest continuous lottery in the U.S., and the arrival of Powerball has helped the territory to generate $1.5 million for public schools every year and provide vital funds for many other areas.
The U.S. Virgin Islands has not yet celebrated a jackpot winner but multiple players have landed second-tier prizes. Some of those winners have also added Power Play to double their prize to $2 million, including one lucky participant who bought their ticket from Pharmacy One on St. Thomas on January 5th 2013, and another player who won $2 million in the famous $758 million drawing on August 23rd 2017.

War foes get word out to Congress
By - The Washington Times - Thursday, October 3, 2002
House and Senate members say their constituent mail is running overwhelmingly against a unilateral attack on Iraq, although several Republicans say that has started to change.
"It's overwhelming numbers, something like 300 to 29," said Sen. Lincoln Chafee, Rhode Island Republican.
Others reported even more lopsided responses opposed to war, and said phone calls seemed to be genuine outpourings from constituents, not a concerted drive by war opponents to flood offices.
"This is not orchestrated. People overwhelmingly want it done multilaterally," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat, whose office had received more than 20,000 contacts, of which about 300 were supportive of unilateral military action.
Still, public polls are running in favor of using force against Saddam Hussein and in support of President Bush.
An ABC News-Washington Post poll released Friday found 58 percent of respondents approved of the president's handling of Iraq. Furthermore, 61 percent favored the use of U.S. military forces to remove Saddam from power. Of those, more than three-fourths said they would feel that way even if U.S. allies opposed such action.
"I think what they are saying is they would like to see the problems with Iraq resolved, but they would like to see it worked out without war," said Rep. Michael N. Castle, Delaware Republican.
Several senators and staffers said part of the reason the calls don't match the polls is that someone who is in favor of war is much less likely to call to express their opinion.
Sen. Pete V. Domenici, New Mexico Republican, said he had met with 13 constituents and took an informal poll of the three men and 10 women. All supported the president's stance on Iraq, he said.
Some lawmakers said part of the discrepancy may be because the president's full-court press on the issue gives his opponents a rallying point.
That could explain the e-mails and phone calls to the office of Rep. Jim McDermott, Washington Democrat, who traveled to Iraq last week.
Spokesman John Larmett said calls went from about 80-to-1 opposed to war before the trip to about 50-50 during and after the trip. Many of those new calls in support of the president came from outside Mr. McDermott's Seattle district. Mr. Larmett said calls of support within the district still comprised about 85 percent of communications.
Michigan Democrat Rep. David E. Bonior, who traveled with Mr. McDermott, saw a boost in support for his position.
Communications to his office "tipped dramatically more toward the pro-'our position,'" spokesman Bob Allison said.
Sen. Sam Brownback, Kansas Republican, said the messages from letters and calls to his office were running opposed to war, but that reversed after former Vice President Al Gore questioned the president's Iraq policy and Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, South Dakota Democrat, accused the president of politicizing national security.
"The week before last, they were solidly opposed to war. After the Gore speech and the Daschle speech, it definitely turned around," Mr. Brownback said.

In this post I describe how I made a DIY bicycle dynamo USB charger for smartphones and battery packs. The idea came from multiple sources, including Mr. Howdy, Arenddeboer.com, and Peter. But they assume the person making the charger knows how to read a circuit diagram. I cannot understand a circuit diagram. If you're like me, then this blog post is for you.
Efficiency: Will charge a Sony Experia Z smartphone at a rate of approximately 1% per 1km (with the smartphone turned off).
When charging your smartphone using a wall charger or your laptop's USB, the electricity going into your phone is direct current (DC) at 5 volts. A bicycle dynamo hub, however, usually creates electricity in the form of alternating current (AC), at 6 volts. So, we've got to change the electricity created by the dynamo hub (6V AC) into the same type as what comes out of your smartphone wall charger or your laptop's USB (5V DC). That's what this device does.
Disclaimer: I know nothing about electronics. This charger has worked well for me so far (about 1,000km of cycle touring), but it may turn on you and eat your smartphone's innards alive, rendering it a useless shell. Also, note that in very hilly terrain where constant high cycling speeds are expected (on the downhills), the charger may not cope with the high voltage output from the dynamo (voltage output often varies depending on speed) (thanks to commenter Prashant for the real-world observation). This may mean a need to unplug the charger on long, fast downhills. If you'd rather let someone else take the responsibility for your delicate electronics, check out the Bright-Bike Revolution (amazing value for a solid charger) or the Busch & Mueller Luxos IQ2 headlight with USB charging built in, or the Tout-Terrain Plug II.
The capacitors help keep the flow of electricity steady as you slow down and speed up on your bike (see Wikipedia for more).
Cut the veroboard (stripboard) into an oblong, 4 holes wide by approximately 25 holes long. I did this by scoring the board with a craft knife on both sides and then snapping it.
Start to populate your board. On the capacitors, the long leg is positive. Click on the photos for a larger version.
This step can be tricky…aligning the bridge rectifier in place. Note the polarity (positioning of the negative and positive legs).
Looking from the top, your board should now look something like this.
You can now go about carefully soldering the parts in place at the rear of the board. Take care not to overheat the parts, and make sure not to 'connect' any of the copper strips on the stripboard with stray bits of solder.
Post-soldering should look something like below. Ignore all the drill-marks, except for the one at the bottom. You need that one to stop current going directly to the regulator (LM2940). Holes can be made by hand-turning a 5mm drill bit.
Prepare your micro-USB connector by butchering a cheap USB to micro-USB cable, discarding the big USB end. We will attach this to the circuit-board, and it will plug into your smartphone. Frustratingly, USB cable inner wire colors are sometimes different (like, green for negative). But most of the time, they will be red (positive), black (negative) and white (data). You won't be needing the white wire, so you can cut it short.
Before attaching the micro-USB cable to the circuit-board, a suitable case needs to be found. I happened to have an old fish-tank PH level tester container hanging around that was a perfect size.
Container sorted, time to thread the cables through the openings and solder them to the circuit board. I first attached the micro-USB cable. Red on the positive line, black on the negative line.
Next, attach the wires that will run from the dynamo hub. The polarity (negative and positive direction) here doesn't matter at all; the bridge rectifier has magic fairies inside that sort all that out.
Install the circuit board in a suitable container. Before sealing the container up properly, now may be a good time to hook the unit up to a dynamo hub and smartphone to check that everything is working.
This step is not essential, but I wanted to make this unit as weather-proof as possible. Using a couple of different size heat-shrink tubing, I covered the whole thing up, making it very weather-proof.
I wanted to be able to easily attach and remove the charger from my bike. The only time I use it is when I am cycle touring (about twice a year). This was easily done by using simple male/female connectors. The wire running from my hub to the female connectors is on my bike all the time, and I can just connect the charger when I need to.
This is the second charger I have made (using the exact same circuitry). The first one ended up in a PVC pipe casing, which is ugly and bulky. It works exactly the same as this new slick-cased version. Using the PVC-pipe-case version, I was able to get around 1% charge for every 1km pedaled on a laden, flat-terrain four-day cycle tour (with the phone powered off). That was charging a Sony Experia Z smartphone, which has a very large battery (2330mAh). With an iPhone, with its smaller 1440mAh, this might be more like 2% charge per 1km.
In any case, with the phone powered off, it will charge fully over a full day of cycling. It does not put out enough charge to keep up with intensive computing tasks like Google Map Navigation. That is, with the screen on all the time, plus the GPS running, the battery will still run down even while charging.
My wife has claimed this new version as her own, so I am still stuck with the PVC pipe version. On her bike, this is the set up we have at present (she doesn't use a handlear bag). Here, the charger is attached using a cable tie, in the photo at the top of this post, we have attached a velcro strap, which will make attaching/removing the charger easier.
Note Viktoras's comment that the Biologic Reecharge may not give enough output for some devices.
You said you used a 25V 2200 microfarad capacitor, but you linked (the Farnell link) a 16V 2200 microfarad.
Will it work with a 16V instead of 25V or not ?
Thanks a lot for your guide anyways, Im bought the components and am working on this right now 🙂 Got an external battery and a 6V 3W Shimano Dynamo so hopefully it will work.
hi, i am also not an electronics engineer. i thought if you use a buck-boost (step up-down converter), it can handle higher voltages upto 48 volts. linear voltage regulators dissipate rest of the energy as heat (more risk of burning components or you need larger heat sink), on the other hand buck-boost is a capacitor based modules. And if you use normal brushed dc motor as a dynamo in place of hub dynamo, it will be easy and cheap to recreate it in any bicycle.

Q: Convert categorical "other" value to NA in a data frame using dplyr trial <- data.frame(c("A", "B", "C", "other"), c("a","b","Others","d"))
There are 2 categorical variables (attributes) in the data frame. I want to recode the value "other" as NA. I follow the link here: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/naniar/vignettes/replace-with-na.html

na_strings <- c("other", "Others")
trial %>%
  replace_with_na_all(condition = ~.x %in% na_strings)

However, the "other" value does change to NA, but all other characters are turned into numbers. I want the rest of the values to remain character.
What should i do? Thanks in advance.

A: Here is a simple dplyr solution:
library(dplyr)
library(naniar)

trial %>%
  mutate_if(is.factor,as.character) %>%
  replace_with_na_all(condition = ~.x %in% na_strings)

You just need to change your variable class from factor to character before the replace_with_na_all function.

A: You can use base R :
trial[sapply(trial, `%in%`, na_strings)] <- NA

Or only dplyr to do this :
library(dplyr)
trial %>% mutate_all(~replace(., . %in% na_strings, NA))

#  col1 col2
#1    A    a
#2    B    b
#3    C <NA>
#4 <NA>    d

data
trial <- data.frame(col1 = c("A", "B", "C", "other"),
                    col2 = c("a","b","Others","d"))


Do analyse, critical (in the academic sense of the word) analysis is particularly good but whatever you do make sure that you are not just describing the sources or repeating Section B.
Do show some awareness of the significance of the sources you evaluated in Section C to your investigation. Eg: Explain why these sources were so important.
Do reference this section fully or you will be doomed to a low score.
Do discuss different historians' opinions in depth.
Do not write your Section D analysis without discussing the material presented in Section B.
Do not describe different historiographical viewpoints without analysing them.
Do not simply restate Section B with limited supporting comments.

Galaxy S10 vs. Pixel 3: Which camera is best?
Galaxy S10 Plus vs iPhone XS Max: Which camera is better?
Pixel 3 vs. OnePlus 6T: Which Android should you buy?
It's a refurb, but it ticks all the important Chromebook boxes. Plus: Two bonus deals!
In the market for a new laptop? This might be the ideal time to see if a Chromebook is the right option for you.
The price is certainly right: Today only, and while supplies last, Woot has the refurbished HP Chromebook 14-ca043cl for $199.99, with free shipping for Prime subscribers. (Amazon owns Woot.) Elsewhere, I'm seeing it new for $325.
Available in your choice of Chalkboard Gray or Snow White, the HP is a 3.4-pound laptop with a 14-inch Full HD screen. That means it runs at 1,920×1,080 resolution, higher than what you see in a lot of budget Chromebooks. Just as important, it's an anti-glare IPS screen, so it should look sharp from all viewing angles.
The dual-core Intel processor is no powerhouse, but it doesn't need to be: Chrome OS requires considerably less horsepower than Windows. Similarly, the system has just 32GB of onboard storage, but most people are likely to keep their data in the cloud, in which case local storage is less crucial.
If you need more, you can pop in a microSD card or leverage one of the system's four USB ports: two USB-C, two USB 3.1.
This should also be a pretty decent multimedia machine, as it incorporates a B&O Play sound system and dual speakers.
Two caveats: This being Chrome OS, printer setup can be a hassle — and that's assuming your printer is indeed Google Cloud Print-compatible. And, this being a refurb, the warranty is just 90 days.
CNET hasn't reviewed this model, but some 80-plus Google reviews average out to a respectable 4.2 stars. At $200, I'm liking this laptop option.
That means someday, maybe, it'll be time to jump back into lakes, rivers, pools and the like. And I can think of no better toy to bring along than a remote-controlled boat.
Like this one: For a limited time, and while supplies last. Cheapskate readers can get the Force1 H102 Velocity RC boat for $54.99 with promo code CNETBOAT. Price elsewhere: at least $66.
I haven't tried this myself, but it looks pretty slick. It's speedy, able to hit 20 mph. It can automatically recover from capsizing, making it good for younger captains. And it comes with two batteries, each good for about 10 minutes.
There may be better or cheaper options out there, I really don't know. But this looks like fun, no question.
Charge all your things (including one USB-C thing) for $15.
So many devices that require USB charging, so few powered ports available.
If that's your situation, check this out: For a limited time, and while supplies last, the Jarv 40W five-port Desktop Charger is just $14.97 with promo code CNET40WPWR. Regular price: $24.95. That's another Cheapskate exclusive, amigos.
I haven't shared one of these in a while, which is too bad because they're super useful. Basically, you get four "smart" standard USB ports, each able to charge at 1.2 or 2.4 amps, depending on what's connected. There's also a USB-C port for charging your Nintendo Switch or what have you.
There are tons of these floating around, some with six ports, some with QC 3.0 ports (for fast-charging compatible phones) and so on. If you need one that includes USB-C, this is a good choice.

Nottinghamshire have signed Australian fast bowler Peter Siddle as their overseas player for the 2014 season.
Siddle has no conflicting international commitments and will be available for all of Nottinghamshire's LV= County Championship and 50-over matches but won't feature in twenty20 games.
He has taken 167 wickets in 46 Test Matches for Australia and will go head to head with Nottinghamshire duo Graeme Swann and Stuart Broad when the battle for the urn resumes next week.
"I've always wanted to spend a season in county cricket and this feels like the right opportunity at a time when Australia have no Test matches scheduled," said Siddle, 28.
"He'll be an excellent role model for the younger players in our squad and his wicket-taking ability will lift us," - Mick Newell.
Director of Cricket Mick Newell hopes that his decision to add quality to the bowling attack will pay dividends after a long tradition of recruiting overseas batsmen.
"Peter was always our number one target and we're very pleased to have secured his services," said Newell.
Siddle was an impressive performer during Australia's defeat at Trent Bridge in the first Investec Ashes Test of 2013 with an eight-wicket return.
"He was excellent over here during the Ashes series," said Newell.
"He has a track record of taking wickets all over the world and I'm hopeful that he can exploit the conditions at Trent Bridge.
Newell has already penned in Siddle and Andre Adams as the leaders of Nottinghamshire's LV= County Championship bowling attack next season leaving Harry Gurney, Luke Fletcher, Andy Carter, Ajmal Shahzad, Paul Franks and Jake Ball to compete for the remaining spots.
"I'm hoping that he will bring out the best in the other bowlers as I expect to name Peter and Andre in the side," said Newell.
