Type A strains of C perfringens are commonly found as part of the normal intestinal microflora of animals and lack some of the powerful toxins produced by strains of other types. C perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) is the principal toxin involved in C perfringens foodborne illness and is associated with nonfoodborne diarrheal disease in different animals. C perfringens also produces a necrotizing toxin associated with necrotic enteritis in poultry (see Necrotic Enteritis) and dogs, colitis in horses, and diarrhea in pigs. C perfringens type A is implicated in a rarely occurring hemorrhagic diarrhea in dogs and has been associated with nosocomial and acquired acute and chronic diarrhea in dogs. The acute form is characterized by a necrotic enteritis in which there is massive destruction of the villi and coagulation necrosis of the small intestine. Many large, gram-positive rods are visible in fecal smears, and large numbers of C perfringens type A are recovered on anaerobic culture of feces of dogs with acute diarrhea. Fecal tests are not useful in determining the cause of diarrhea, however, because of a high number of false-positive results. A commercial ELISA for CPE in dogs is quite specific. PCR for CPE gene expression in dogs is being evaluated. Type A strains from pigs with diarrhea have produced enterotoxin in vitro, and anti-enterotoxin antibodies in sows indicate that enterotoxin is produced in vivo. Enterotoxin has also been demonstrated in the feces of pigs with diarrhea but not in feces of healthy animals. C perfringens isolated from pigs with diarrhea are typically nonenterotoxigenic but produce the cytotoxic β2 toxin, which possibly plays a role in disease. Experimental disease has been produced in pigs challenged orally with C perfringens type A.
Infection with C perfringens types B and C causes severe enteritis, dysentery, toxemia, and high mortality in young lambs, calves, pigs, and foals ({blank} Enterotoxemia Caused by Clostridium perfringens Types B and C). Types B and C both produce the highly necrotizing and lethal beta toxin responsible for severe intestinal damage. This toxin is sensitive to proteolytic enzymes, and disease is associated with inhibition of proteolysis in the intestine. Sow colostrum, which contains a trypsin inhibitor, has been suggested as a factor increasing the susceptibility of young piglets. Type C also causes enterotoxemia in adult cattle, sheep, and goats.

Lamb dysentery is an acute disease of lambs <3 wk old. Many may die before clinical signs are seen, but some newborn lambs stop nursing, become listless, and remain recumbent. A fetid, blood-tinged diarrhea is common, and death usually occurs within a few days. In calves, there is acute diarrhea, dysentery, abdominal pain, convulsions, and opisthotonos. Death may occur in a few hours, but less severe cases survive for a few days, and recovery is possible. Pigs become acutely ill within a few days of birth and there is diarrhea, dysentery, reddening of the anus, and a high fatality rate; most affected piglets die within 12 hr. In foals, there is acute dysentery, toxemia, and rapid death. Struck in adult sheep is characterized by death without premonitory signs.
Hemorrhagic enteritis with ulceration of the mucosa is the major lesion in all species. Grossly, the affected portion of the intestine is deep blue-purple and appears at first glance to be an infarction associated with mesenteric torsion. Smears of intestinal contents can be examined for large numbers of gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria, and filtrates can be made for detection of toxin and subsequent identification by neutralization with specific antisera.
Treatment is usually ineffective because of the severity of the disease but, if attempted, includes specific hyperimmune sera and oral antibiotics. The disease is best controlled by vaccination of the pregnant dam during the last third of pregnancy, initially with two vaccinations 1 mo apart and annually thereafter. When outbreaks occur in newborn animals from unvaccinated dams, antiserum should be administered immediately after birth.
(Pulpy kidney disease, Overeating disease)
This classic enterotoxemia of sheep is seen less frequently in goats and rarely in cattle. It has a worldwide distribution and affects animals of any age. It is most common in lambs either <2 wk old or weaned in feedlots and on a high-carbohydrate diet or, less often, on lush green pastures. The disease has been suspected in well-nourished beef calves nursing high-producing cows grazing lush pasture and in sudden death syndrome in feedlot cattle; however, supportive laboratory evidence in the latter is lacking.
The causative agent is C perfringens type D. Predisposing factors are essential, the most common being the ingestion of excessive amounts of feed or milk in the very young and of grain in feedlot lambs. In young lambs, the disease usually is restricted to ewes with single lambs, because ewes with twins seldom give enough milk to allow enterotoxemia to develop. In the feedlot, the disease usually is seen in lambs switched rapidly to high-grain diets. As starch intake increases, it provides a suitable medium for overgrowth of C perfringens, producing epsilon toxin. The toxin causes vascular damage, particularly in capillaries of the brain. Many adult sheep carry strains of C perfringens type D as part of their normal intestinal microflora, which is the source of organisms that infect the newborn. Most such carriers have nonvaccinal antitoxin serum titers.
Usually, sudden deaths in the best-conditioned lambs are the first indication of enterotoxemia. In some cases, excitement, incoordination, and convulsions occur before death. Opisthotonos, circling, and pushing the head against fixed objects are common neurologic signs; frequently, hyperglycemia or glycosuria is present. Diarrhea may or may not develop. Occasionally, adult sheep are affected too, showing weakness, incoordination, convulsions, and death within 24 hr. In goats, the course of disease ranges from peracute to chronic, with signs that vary from watery diarrhea with or without blood to sudden death. Affected calves not found dead show mania, convulsions, blindness, and death within a few hours. Subacutely affected calves are stuporous for a few days and may recover. In goats, diarrhea and nervous signs are seen, and death may occur over several weeks. Type D enterotoxemia occasionally is seen in young horses that have overeaten.
Necropsy may reveal only a few hyperemic areas on the intestine and a fluid-filled pericardial sac. This is particularly the case in young lambs. In older animals, hemorrhagic areas on the myocardium may be found as well as petechiae and ecchymoses of the abdominal muscles and serosa of the intestine. Bilateral pulmonary edema and congestion frequently occur but usually not in young lambs. The rumen and abomasum contain an abundance of feed, and undigested feed often is found in the ileum. Edema and malacia can be detected microscopically in the basal ganglia and cerebellum of lambs. Rapid postmortem autolysis of the kidneys has led to the popular name of pulpy kidney disease; however, pulpy kidneys are by no means always found in affected young lambs and are seldom found in affected goats or cattle. Hemorrhagic or necrotic enterocolitis may be seen in goats.
A presumptive diagnosis of enterotoxemia is based on sudden, convulsive deaths in lambs on carbohydrate-rich feed. Smears of intestinal contents reveal many short, thick, gram-positive rods. Confirmation requires demonstration of epsilon toxin in the small-intestinal fluid. Fluid, not ingesta, should be collected in a sterile vial within a few hours after death and sent under refrigeration to a laboratory for toxin identification. Chloroform, added at 1 drop for each 10 mL of intestinal fluid, will stabilize any toxin present. Although immunologic tests have been developed to replace the traditional mouse assay for detection of toxin, they are less sensitive. A PCR for detection of epsilon toxin gene is available for identification of the isolates as either type B or D.
The method of control depends on the age of the lambs, the frequency with which the disease appears on a particular property, and the method of husbandry. If the disease is seen consistently in young lambs, ewe immunization probably is the most satisfactory method of control. Breeding ewes should be given two injections of type D toxoid in their first year, a booster injection 4–6 wk before lambing, and each year thereafter.
Enterotoxemia in feedlot lambs can be controlled by reducing the amount of concentrate in the diet. However, this may not be economical, and immunization of all lambs with toxoid on entering the feedlot likely will reduce losses to an acceptable level. Two injections, 2 wk apart, will protect lambs through the feeding period. When aluminum-precipitated toxoids or bacterins are used, the injection should be given at such a site that the local cold abscesses, which commonly develop, can be removed easily during normal dressing and will not blemish the carcass.

The nostalgic vision of a rural Midwest populated by independent family farmers hides the reality that rural wage labor has been integral to the region's development, says Deborah Fink. Focusing on the porkpacking industry in Iowa, Fink investigates the experience of the rural working class and highlights its significance in shaping the state's economic, political, and social contours.
Fink draws both on interviews and on her own firsthand experience working on the production floor of a pork-processing plant. She weaves a fascinating account of the meatpacking industry's history in Iowa-a history, she notes, that has been experienced differently by male and female, immigrant and native-born, white and black workers. Indeed, argues Fink, these differences are a key factor in the ongoing creation of the rural working class.
Other writers have denounced the new meatpacking companies for their ruthless destruction of both workers and communities. Fink sustains this criticism, which she augments with a discussion of union action, but also goes beyond it. She looks within rural midwestern culture itself to examine the class, gender, and ethnic contradictions that allowed-indeed welcomed-the meatpacking industry's development.
"This admirable book melds history, anthropology, and a strong sense of social justice. . . . A chilling portrait of how economic restructuring reshapes everyday life and exacerbates longstanding oppressions of class, race, and gender."
"Forceful, visual, evocative, and well-placed . . . The oral histories, along with the other sources, provide an excellent historical context and comparison for what was happening in contemporary meatpacking plants in the Midwest."
"A model of American social and labor history."
"Deploying the methodological skills of the anthropologist and the historian, Deborah Fink makes visible working-class wage earners, women and men whose historical agency and experience have been denied or effaced in the rural Midwest. Fink demonstrates the central but overlooked significance of wage labor for rural midwestern economic growth and offers an original and compelling analysis of class development and class relations. Deeply moving, her important study of working people in Perry, Iowa, evokes the horror, grimness, and humor of rural working-class life over the course of the twentieth century."

I created a chuppah with the 4 columns and they worked great. Noticed there were inset nuts that would hold a screw also great for an outdoor event as a spike that would be placed in the ground. And even had them on the top for added support for a heavy arrangement. Great improvement from what I have had before. The product was deliver earlier than expected and in great condition. They called prior to delivery to arrange a time and day. Very easy process.

Focal point at entry of venue or to soften a corner area of a room. I place 2 topiaries with the column.


Joshua LaRock is internationally recognized as a preeminent figurative artist. LaRock's exquisite paintings are an ode to the past filtered through a contemporary life. Both his portraits and narrative pieces are memorable for their emotive quality and for evoking an eerily present feeling. Inspired by Bouguereau and other Old Masters, LaRock imbues his work with a shade of the timeless, drawing the viewer deeper into his personal interpretation of how the world ought to be.
Among LaRock's most striking works are those of his wife, Laura. In 2012, Portrait of the Artist's Wife was hailed as "deserving of special attention" during the historic American Chinese Oil Painting Artist League (ACOPAL) exhibition at the Beijing World Art Museum. Additionally, Laura in Black was part of the prestigious BP Portrait Award 2016 exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery (London) and is the subject of his premiere instructional video The Layers of Portrait Painting.
LaRock has participated in exhibitions throughout the United States, Europe, and China, is recognized as an Art Renewal Center Living Master, and is a sought after workshop instructor. The artist currently lives in North Carolina with his wife and two children. He is dedicated to painting that which invites humanity into the timeless story of beauty.
LaRock is represented by Collins Galleries (Orleans, MA), Stephen Ling (Beijing), Maxwell Alexander Gallery (Los Angeles), and Portraits, Inc. (Birmingham, AL; Flat Rock, NC; and New York City).


Energy productivity for manufacturers will be the focus at the Innovation X-Change conference on Monday, August 13 at Eithad Stadium in Melbourne.
With energy prices at record levels and little sign of decline, the Australian Alliance for Energy Productivity (A2EP) has identified the importance of energy productivity, particularly in manufacturing. The conference is therefore aimed at helping manufacturers get the most out of the energy they use.
Among the speakers are experts from industry (including HVAC&R), government and academia.
A2EP says the event is ideal for general and process managers from relevant businesses as well as other associates in industry. Registration for the event is open with options for attending the full day or the morning or afternoon sessions.

Q: ngOnChanges how the simpleChanges object is handled I am very new to angular 5 I am learning component interaction from the official site it's given
ngOnChanges(changes: {[propKey: string]: SimpleChange}) {}

And in the life cycle hooks
ngOnChanges(changes: SimpleChanges) {}

I understand that SimpleChanges is an object that ngOnChanges gets as an parameter and we can access the previous and current value using it. But I didn't understand how the following is working :
ngOnChanges(changes: {[propKey: string]: SimpleChange}) {}

I couldn't find any good explanation also anywhere

A: {[propKey: string]: SimpleChange}

means: an object with keys of type string, each associated to a value of type SimpleChange.
If your component has 3 inputs a, b and c, and the inputs a and c change, then Angular will call ngOnChanges() with an argument like the following:
{
  a: {
    previousValue: ...,
    currentValue: ...,
    firstChange: false
  }
  c: {
    previousValue: ...,
    currentValue: ...,
    firstChange: false
  }
}

A: This is only type sugar for argument in ngOnChanges function.
{[propKey: string]: SimpleChange

Above line means, that the argument is kind of hashmap, where key is a string and the value is a instance of SimpleChange function.
"propKey" is a just a name, instead of that you could also type "aaa", or "myPropKey" and will be still works.
Please look at the https://www.sitepen.com/blog/2013/12/31/definitive-guide-to-typescript/ abd search for hashmap

Domingo Roberto Cacho Mandrafina (Buenos Aires, 2 de noviembre de 1945) es un artista y dibujante de historietas argentino. Es principalmente conocido en su país por su trabajo en la clásica historieta Savarese, cuyo protagonista fue creado por Mandrafina junto al guionista Robin Wood.

Biografía

Inicios
Su pasión por la historieta se despertó desde muy pequeño, desde los seis años, influenciada por la lectura de revistas como El Tony, Patoruzito y el Pato Donald. Sin embargo, reconoce que "lo fundamental fue Randall, de Arturo del Castillo. Ahí tomé conciencia de que quería ser dibujante de historietas."

Luego de transcurrida la escuela secundaria y tres años de la carrera de sociología empezó a cursar estudios en el IDA (Instituto de Directores de Arte), entre cuyos docentes estaban Alberto Breccia y Ángel Borisoff. "Empecé primero con trabajos sueltos, con Medrano, que tenía un contacto con EE.UU, mandaba trabajos desde acá", tras lo cual realizó algunas historietas para Paturozito y Billiken, entre otras publicaciones.

En 1971 llevado por Lito Fernández (de quien fuera ayudante hasta ese momento), comenzó a colaborar con Editorial Columba. En un principio dibujó historias unitarias para Intervalo. Pasados tres años le encargaron el dibujo de "...una serie bastante mala, Flavia Massini, una de esas historietas de Intervalo, que ya venía de antes." y más tarde (otros tres años) realizó adaptaciones de películas a la historieta.

Madurez y consagración
A mediados de los años 1970 se integró a un estudio de dibujantes, junto a Macagno, Marchionne, y luego Enrique Breccia, junto a los cuales produjo historietas de toda índole, dirigidas, a través de un agente, al mercado escocés.

En colaboración con Ray Collins, elaboró algunas historietas, de corte policíaco que fueron publicadas en Skorpio, mientras junto a Robin Wood, daban vida, en 1978, a la serie (policiaca también) Savarese, que contó más de un centenar de episodios. Un año después, esta vez junto a Guillermo Saccomano, publicaron El condenado para Record, que duraría hasta el año 1985.

A comienzos de los años 1980 inició una colaboración con el guionista Carlos Trillo produciendo obras vinculadas al género negro. La primera historia que desarrollaron juntos fue Los misterios de Ulises Boedo que versaba sobre los desaparecidos. Más tarde realizaron una serie de historias mudas publicadas en la revista Superhumor, y luego la serie El husmeante para la publicación Don.

Continuó trabajando con Trillo en obras cargadas de mensajes alegóricos, fuerte sarcasmo y fondo oscuro como Piñón Fijo, Peter Kampf lo sabía, Cosecha verde (serializada entre  fines de 1989 y principios de 1991 en la revista Puertitas),  El iguana (que continuaba la historia de Cosecha verde), Spaghetti Brothers, y más tarde Dragger. Estas obras, a diferencia de las realizadas para Columba (exportadas casi exclusivamente a Italia), comenzaron a traducirse en España, Francia, Italia, Alemania y también en los Estados Unidos y le reportaron una puerta de acceso al mercado internacional, desde mediados de los años 1980.

En la misma época realizó otros trabajos junto a Enrique Breccia (Metrocarguero (1984) y Espartaco(, Ricardo Ferrari (El Golem y La Vuelta, estas también con la colaboración de Macagno y Breccia), y Saccomano (Republiqueta).

A fines de los años '80 y principios de los '90 dejó de trabajar para editoriales argentinas, "...justo en los meses de la hiperinflación, en los que se cortó el pago.", como explicó el mismo. Durante este tiempo dibujó (además de las ya mencionadas El iguana, Dragger, y Spaghetti Brothers) Vieilles canailles, con guiones de Carlos Trillo.

Años recientes
En la década del 2000 publicó una serie llamada El conejo de Alicia en la revista Fierro.

Negrești-Oaș est une ville roumaine du județ de Satu Mare, dans la région historique de Transylvanie et dans la région de développement du Nord-ouest. Negrești est le centre du pays d'Oaș (Țara Oașului).

Géographie

La ville de Negrești est située dans le nord-est du județ, à la limite avec le județ de Maramureș, sur le cours supérieur du Tur, entre les Monts Igniș à l'est et les Monts Oaș au nord, à  à l'ouest de Sighetu Marmației et à  au nord-est de Satu Mare, le chef-lieu du județ.

Negrești-Oaș est le centre de la microrégion du pays Oaș, créée autour de la ville en 2006 et qui regroupe 10 communes.

La municipalité est composée de la ville de Negrești-Oaș et des villages suivants (population en 2002) :
 Luna (596) ;
 Negrești (), siège de la municipalité ;
 Turu ().

Histoire

La première occupation des lieux est très ancienne puisque la région a été le centre de la culture de Suciu de Sus à l'âge du bronze. De nombreuses céramiques ont été découvertes lors de diverses campagnes de fouilles.

La première mention écrite du village de Negrești date de 1490 sous le nom de Felshewfalw (Felsöfalu, « haut-village » en hongrois) comme domaine de la famille Móric, mais il est fait mention du pays de Oaș bien avant dans une lettre du  comme voie du sel entre la Marmatie et la Pannonie. Le pays de Oaș est aussi cité dans les chroniques de Grigore Ureche.

La commune, qui appartenait au royaume de Hongrie, a fait partie de la Principauté de Transylvanie de 1526 à 1699 puis de l'Empire des Habsbourg.

Après le compromis de 1867 entre Autrichiens et Hongrois de l'Empire d'Autriche, la principauté de Transylvanie disparaît et, en 1876, le royaume de Hongrie est partagé en comitats. Negrești intègre le comté hongrois de Satu-Mare.

À la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale, la commune rejoint la Roumanie le , ce qui sera reconnu en 1920 au traité de Trianon.

En 1940, à la suite du Deuxième arbitrage de Vienne, elle est annexée par la Hongrie jusqu'en 1944, époque durant laquelle sa communauté juive est exterminée par les « croix-fléchées ». Elle réintègre la Roumanie après la Seconde Guerre mondiale au traité de Paris en 1947.

La commune de Negrești a connu un très important développement dans la seconde moitié du  et a obtenu le statut de ville en 1964.

Politique

Démographie

En 2002, la composition religieuse de la commune était la suivante :

 Chrétiens orthodoxes, 76,04 % ;
 Catholiques romains, 3,40 % ;
 Pentecôtistes, 3,09 % ;
 Grecs-Catholiques, 3,03 % ;
 Réformés, 2,25 %.

Économie

L'économie de la ville repose sur les services (enseignement, santé), le commerce. Negrești est également un marché agricole. La ville a connu une industrialisation au cours du  : embouteillage d'eau minérale, activités minières, travail du bois, construction de machines, industrie alimentaire et textiles.

Le tourisme joue un rôle de plus en plus important dans l'économie de la cité qui est une excellent base pour le tourisme montagnard aux alentours.

Communications

Routes

Negrești est située sur la route nationale DN19 qui relie Satu Mare à Sighetu Marmației par le col de Huta à  d'altitude. La route départementale 109-L rejoint Bixad et les monts Oaș vers le nord et l'est.

Voies ferrées

Negrești est desservie par la ligne de chemin de fer Satu Mare-Bixad.

Lieux et monuments

La ville est le point de départ de nombreuses randonnées dans les Monts Igniș, notamment vers le mont Pietroasa.

 Negrești, éco-musée plein air qui présente l'architecture traditionnelle en bois du pays Oaș ainsi que les traditions locales.

 Negrești, église orthodoxe de la Naissance de la Vierge (Nașterea Maicii Domnului) construite de 1847 à 1857 en pierres de taille avec divers éléments de style baroque comme le clocher.

 Tur, église orthodoxe Saint-Démètre datant de 1850.

Chinese Boy Obsessed with Science Discovers 66-Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Eggs While Playing
Gavin ANCIENT HISTORY, ARCHAEOLOGY	Leave a comment
The Beijing Youth Daily reported that a 9-year-old primary school student from Heyuan, Guangdong province of South China, accidentally discovered what he suspected of being a fossil dinosaur egg while playing on downtown riverbank with his mom
Third-grade Zhang Yangzhe (pictured) made the extraordinary discovery while playing on the embankment of Dong River in Heyuan, southern China's Guangdong Province
Later, the mom of the boy, Li Xiaofang, approached the local museum whose staff members were walking around the site and found even more dinosaur eggs.
The fossils of the 11 dinosaur eggs date back to 66 million years ago.
Earlier in an interview, Li said she was playing near the Dongjiang River with her son Zhang Yangzhe.
"The flood destroyed the bridge over the river and exposed the soil below the abutment," she said. This is what helped the boy to find the eggs.
The schoolboy found 11 eggs in total.
"He found an eggshell on the slope (of the broken bridge) and called me immediately to tell me about his discovery, saying it seemed like a dinosaur egg," said Li.
She added that the boy had recently visited the local dinosaur museum where he saw various shapes of dinosaur egg fossils, some complete while others are broken, which helped him recognize the dinosaur egg at a glance.
Soon after the excavation of the first one, another was also unearthed about 80 cm above the previous spot on the slope.
Knowing their archeological values, his mother Li contacted Heyuan Dinosaur Museum via the help of a friend.
Yangzhou was accompanied by his mother (pictured with her son) while coming across the fossils. According to his mother, Li Xiaofang, Yangzhe has read many books about dinosaurs
The city, known as the "hometown of dinosaurs", has discovered a large number of dinosaur eggs and bone fossils since 1996.
A dinosaur research institute named China's Ancient Animal Museum and Dinosaur Egg Museum, also known as the Heyuan Dinosaur Museum, has been established in the city.
Thousands of eggs have been found in the city of Heyuan over the years.
Huang Zhiqing, deputy director of the research department of Heyuan Dinosaur Museum, said they rushed to the scene with police after receiving the news.
A total of 11 "stone eggs" each about 9 centimeters in diameter were excavated, later verified as dinosaur eggs all dating back to the late Cretaceous age, according to the local museum.
Huang Zhiqing said houses were built at the place where the dinosaur eggs were discovered, so the soil softens as time flies. Dinosaur egg fossils which remain in good condition despite water and erosion are extremely rare.
Huang Zhiqing said the museum will organize manpower to clean and repair these dinosaur egg fossils. They will also find an appropriate time to re-examine and further excavate the abutment.
"Maybe we will discover new things," Huang Zhiqing said.
Li said the child's recognition of the dinosaur egg is inseparable from his education.
"Maybe because of the city's environment, he is full of curiosity about everything related to dinosaurs," she said, adding that he goes to libraries and museums to search for information he is curious about.

I gotta be honest with you: I LOVE reading shower thoughts. In case you're unfamiliar, those are the totally random but also slightly mind-blowing thoughts that you have when you're in a relaxed state, like when you're in the shower (or really, really stoned).
Here are 12 of my faves!
1. The robot uprising is real.
6. It probably was a man's idea. Bravo.
10. If this is true, why are their humans living in Antartica??

Q: Converting a Password Hashing Script from GO to Nodejs I have a hard time converting an existing GO script to NodeJS. It basically a hashing script which takes in 2 arguments agreedUponKey and salt and returns a password hash.
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "hash"
    "crypto/sha256"
)

func main() {
    var agreedUponKey string
    var salt string
    var h hash.Hash

    agreedUponKey = "giri"
    salt = "XYZabc987"

    h = sha256.New()
    h.Write([]byte(agreedUponKey))
    h.Write([]byte(salt))

    sha256Sum := h.Sum(nil)
    print("calculated passwordHash:", sha256Sum)

    var hexHash = make([]byte, 0, 64)
    for _, v := range sha256Sum {
        hexHash = append(hexHash,[]byte(fmt.Sprintf("%02x", v))...)
    }

    print("calculated passwordHash:", string(hexHash))
}

I have managed to code up to the below point
var crypto = require('crypto');
var convert = require('convert-string');

function test(pwd,key) {
  console.log("Password :",pwd);
  var byteKey=convert.stringToBytes(key);
  var bytePwd=convert.stringToBytes(pwd);
  var hash = crypto.createHash('sha256').update(byteKey+bytePwd).digest('base64');
  console.log("hashcode of password :",hash);
};
test("XYZabc987","giri");

The 2 hashes are different. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am a Noob in GO Lang
Please Note : You can use https://play.golang.org/ to compile and run the Go Script

A: var crypto = require('crypto');
function test(pwd, key) {
    var input = key.concat(pwd)
    var hash = crypto.createHash('sha256').update(input).digest('hex');
    console.log("hashcode of password :", hash);
};
test("XYZabc987", "giri");

You could verify the correct hash using this online tool.

The class is always super challenging with Sabina! She is upbeat and focuses on the form as well as keeping it interesting every time!
The class was okay but got the impression as there were only three of us (and two of us new) that the instructor wasn't on top form. We were left at the end of the class to copy the stretches of another girl as the instructor left to go to the toilet. Shame as it's put me off using the studio again especially at 17 points a class!
This was my first megaformer class and Felicity was fantastic- and hilarious! Will definitely come back.
Sabina is the best! She's always looking out for you and corrects you when necessary. In addition, she always manages to change up the class to create a fun and tough workout at the same time.

Hello all, My DNA 75C recently developed a black spot on it and I'm looking into getting a replacement screen. I can't seem to find any video anywhere that shows how to replace it though. I'm currently deployed and don't have access to many tools. So I'm debating on whether I should send it off or do it myself. Could someone post a link or video or something so I can determine whether I can do it or if I need to send it? Thanks!

Off-duty Firefighter killed in a Fort Worth Car Accident
Posted on September 3, 2018 May 24, 2019 by The Patel Firm PLLC
An off-duty firefighter was killed in a car crash in Fort Worth, Texas on U.S. Highway 377 on Tuesday August 28th, 2018, according to CBS DFW.
Details of the Fort Worth Car Accident
According to the Department of Public Safety, Firefighter Charles Andrew Heimer was killed on Tuesday, August 28, 2018, after a car accident in Fort Worth, Texas when he was hit head-on by a pickup truck that crossed the center median causing another deadly Fort Worth car accident. The firefighter, a veteran who joined the department twelve years ago, was off duty at the time. Sadly, he leaves behind a wife and two sons ages 6 and 9.
Different types of motor vehicle accidents
Head on Texas car accidents: This type of car accident in Texas occurs when the front ends of two vehicles traveling in opposite directions hit each other. Head on car accidents can cause severe personal injury to victims. Head-on collisions can be avoided by obeying traffic rules and avoiding speeding or reckless driving. Also, driving distractions should be avoided as they take your eyes off the road and increase the chances of a head-on collision.
Rear end car accidents: A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration survey shows that rear-end accidents are the most frequent type of collision that occurs in the United States making up 29 percent of all accidents. Rear end car collisions occur when a car crashes into another car in front of it. It can be caused by sudden braking by the car in front or when the car behind accelerates faster than the vehicle in front of it.
Side impact car accidents: These types of car accidents are also known as T-bone collisions. This type of Texas car accident occurs when the side of a vehicle is hit by the front or rear of another vehicle. These accidents are particularly deadly because there is less cushion on the side of a vehicle to absorb the impact of the crash.
Rollover car accident in Texas: it occurs when a car flips over onto its side or roof. Sharp turns, or sudden braking at high speed most often cause them. All vehicles can be involved in a rollover accident, but sport utility vehicles are often at a higher risk because of their high center of gravity.
Single vehicle car accident: These accidents involve only one motor vehicle. In some instances a car crash into other objects such as poles, trees, fire hydrants and walls, and they may involve innocent bystanders. These crashes often result in property damage and personal injury.

Oh well, using up my vacation time early isn't going to be a big deal this year since Mark will be offshore for both Thanksgiving AND Christmas this year. Won't matter if I have any time left by then or not!
It was a great weekend, though. The weather was absolutely gorgeous both days. It didn't start raining until the wee hours of this morning. Of course we got 3 inches or so then, but still - it was at least a gorgeous weekend.
Half of each of two huge trees in front were cut off before Isaac "just in case"
It got cut up, but it was impossible for us to pick up even the sawed-up branches.
They were all just unbelievably heavy.
that other giant tree that's still laying across the fence back there.
Then it'll all be done. Now -- if there just aren't any more storms this year . . .
I took this picture after we all ate and it STILL looks wonderful!
Buddy and Lisa both rode Duke for a while, too -- something he definitely needed! None of them have been ridden for months. Then we got both Duke and Lizzie bathed. About time. They haven't had a bath in a couple of months either! Last night when I check on them, everyone was sound asleep in their stalls so it must have made them feel really comfy.
My friend Jan is out in California at some sort of Hollywood Awards thing for Henry Darrow (the one whose biography she wrote). She ran into Carter Oosterhouse (from HGTV) out there yesterday! He is SO cute, isn't he!?
Even Jan, who generally doesn't get all that excited about things, definitely looks like she thinks he is, too.
Quite a visit. I'll bet she's run into all sorts of famous people!
I sure hope things dry out enough now that the porch painting can get finished by this weekend. I can't wait to put the furniture and rugs back out there and go sit and look at that nice cleared front yard!
And THIS year we are not going to pile hay on that porch the way we've done for the last couple winters. I'm sure the neighbors will be happy to hear that. ;-D We're going to get an outfit from over in Houston to come build us one of those 12 X 16 storage buildings on skids just inside Lizzie's paddock. That's one of the high spots on the land. And Lizzie doesn't go out to graze in her paddock like the guys do in theirs so she won't miss that space in the slightest. And that way it'll be very easy for our hay guy to just back his truck in through that front gate and unload the hay directly into that building. Then every couple weeks we'll just haul 10 bales or so over onto the barn porch (well let's be honest -- we'll probably ask Buddy to do that, actually) so some bales will be accessible to me no matter what the weather -- and no matter whether my back is working or not! And the house porch will stay nice and tidy! Lovely.

Looking Again at the list of Top Ten matches for Bret Hart and for Ric Flair there are a few things that pop out at me. Almost all of Ric Flair's matches are main events. His matches are against some of the biggest names in the history of wrestling. Bret Hart's matches are from all over the card with wrestlers of all levels.
Looking at this list, I feel that Ric Flair might have a better top ten, but I enjoy Bret Hart more.

Baldock is a Royal
Date: 2nd August 2018 at 12:23pm
Written by: Jamie Fry
Reading FC have signed former Brighton striker Sam Baldock on a three year deal for an undisclosed fee.
The new number 9 has taken the step down in division in search of more first team football, and he believes he has found that in a switch to the Madejski.
The 29 year old made a total of 94 appearances for the Premier League side, scoring 20 goals. Baldock began his career at MK Dons, and has since played for West Ham and Bristol City before Brighton, scoring a total of 104 career goals.
Boss Paul Clement said of his new signing, "I'm very happy that Sam has joined us here at Reading, having pursued his signature throughout the summer. I always felt he was the right striker for us to bring to this club in terms of his age, his experience and his quality."*
This is certainly a good move for Baldock, as he is now entering what is perhaps is prime, so he will be wanting to play more regular football and justify the fee spent on him. Whether it is a good move for Reading however remains to be seen. We definitely needed more power up front so from that viewpoint obviously, it makes sense, but I don't think he is the dream striker we desperately need. Baldock has never scored more than 11 goals in a Championship season, and is his style of play that different to McNulty? Time will tell, for all we know, he could become a real fan favourite.

PREMIERE | Katie Costello appreciates "New York Graffiti"
REBEL POP co-founder and pop songstress Katie Costello is releasing her third LP, Twice the Love, and celebrating such with the premiere of a video that expresses her loving and rebellious, pop music style.
Premiering exclusively on Popdust, "New York Graffiti" will bring any New Yorker warm and fuzzy feelings, seeing some famous spots in Manhattan and Brooklyn that were likely wandered into in the first few months after moving, enjoyed with hope and wonder in your eyes. And it's extremely appropriate because those are exactly the kind of sentiments expressed in the video. It turns something as common and seemingly unlovely as graffiti into something well-known and notable.
Katie also spoke with Popdust about the release of "New York Graffiti" and Twice the Love, sharing her favorite things about music and New York.
You've been writing and performing songs since you were thirteen. What have you learned about the music industry in that time?
The music industry is an ever-changing, evolving sphere. Even since I first began writing and performing it's gone from chiefly CD's to downloads to streaming presently. As an artist, it's required adjustment and adaptation. Then, there's the human element... Many come to this industry bright-eyed, but as a result of let downs and encountering the scheming of others they themselves become schemers... I've been disappointed many times by what I've learned about people and what they are willing to do to make money and fulfill their blind ambitions. I've come to learn about the lobbying that various large entities carry out that doesn't help artists. Despite these truths, I've also found new strength within myself to see through the challenges anyway. It's worth the reward of doing what I truly love. That doesn't mean things always go the way I wish for, but that's also part of the journey. A big part of the music industry is uncertainty and the wonder of being an artist in the face of it. Although the music industry is not easy to navigate. The rewards, both personal and professional, make it worth the rigors.
You're originally from L.A. but you've been in New York for a few years now. What do you think about the New York music scene?
Yes! I'm from the Los Angeles area and I've been in Brooklyn for 8 years now. I think the New York music scene is very special and unlike other cities. Because of the well-connected public transit system and the proximity of live venues in New York City, it's quite accessible and easy to catch live shows. This provides a unique type of night life that is hard to replicate in L.A. with the nature of driving being the primary mode of transit. New York is a place where, if you're open to it, you can discover very special and top-notch music taking place in the most unexpected places. Sometimes a dive bar in the West Village will have a master guitar player doing his thing in the basement and it'll be the most mind-blowing thing you've every seen or heard. That kind of stuff has happened to me in New York City. It's a very spontaneous and magical place in that way.
Let's talk about a video all about New York, your new video for "New York Graffiti." What inspired its production?
It's perfect that we were just talking about the West Village in New York City because that's the main location of my new video for "New York Graffiti". It is also an area that has remained one of my favorites in the city. A lot of creative inspiration as well as important life events have taken place for me in New York City. I moved there basically the day after I turned 18 and I feel that living there, and the inspiration it's provided me, has given me greater confidence as a person as well as an artist. For that reason, myself, Vivekan and Bill Mejia (the directors of the video) collaborated to capture a day in the life of an artist in New York City who is living out their dream. You can say it's somewhat auto-biographical.
The video features you in some cool spots around the city, including some notorious graffiti. Do you have any favorite spots that you shot at?
So much of my musical and artistic exploration in New York City has taken place in and around Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, especially the East and West Village. These are also significant places for the other directors of the video in addition to myself - Vivekan and Bill Mejia. Because of this, as well as the iconic and legendary nature of this part of New York City, most of the video is shot in and around Washington Square Park, and Park Slope, Brooklyn. These are places that hold a very special place in my heart.
Today, you're also releasing your album, Twice the Love. What was the writing and recording process for this project like?
Making my third full-length album Twice the Love was unlike anything else I've released before. Aside from one or two tracks here and there, all of my other records are songs that I wrote by myself with piano or guitar. After the songs were composed, I'd record them. With my album Twice the Love, I collaborated with a different songwriter/producer for almost every track. You'll see there are some people I collaborated with for multiple songs on this album. However, for the most part, each song is written in a different city and had a completely different creative conception. These differently produced tracks have a common thread that makes Twice the Love an album I'm very happy and proud to share with people. That thread is finding happiness from inside, rather than it being based on outer circumstances. This LP has all the aspects of what made me unique as an artist before, but now with more confidence and pop flare.
Besides "New York Graffiti," what are some of your other favorite songs off the record?
My favorite song always changes, but right now, I'd say it's Track 11 on the album "Holiday." I collaborated with producer Justyn Pilbrow to write and record this song in Brooklyn; and I feel it is very unique and special. It's the first song we wrote together. For me, it's about sitting with your mind and your inner experience of desire as a human being. Sometimes desire is painful. It's easy to run towards a vacation, a lover, a drink, a meal, etc., but it's not easy being present throughout life's ups and downs. My song "Holiday" captures a sentiment I haven't heard in other contemporary pop.
Can you tell us a little bit about what's in store for you next now that's the album has dropped?
I'm always writing new songs. Since collaborating with so many different songwriter/producers, I've enjoyed writing by myself again too. It's nice to enjoy both collaboration as well as solo creative inspiration! I'm finishing more new records at the moment and I hope to continue to share my evolving music and inspiration with people!
"New York Graffiti" is featured on Katie Costello's new album Twice the Love out today. Katie will be performing in Los Angeles at Hotel Cafe on the 6th to celebrate its release.

Sissonville VFD New Firehouse
26 months after an electrical fire destroyed the main Sissonville Volunteer Fire Departments fire station, the new Station 26 Firehouse opened for business on Saturday, November 17, 2012. Nearly one hundred guests from the community joined the firefighters as the Kanawha County dispatcher announced the new Station 26 as operational at 10:00 am. The new station is named the Thomas K. Johnson Fire Station, after the former Chief and charter member of the VFD.
The new station was built with donations, government funds and loans totaling over one million dollars. In addition to the Fire Station, three new trucks/apparatus have been purchased to replace vehicles which were also destroyed in the 2010 fire. New safety equipment for the firefighters also had to be replaced, which costs approximately $3200 per person. The Sissonville VFD has 32 Members at this time, and is led by Chief Tim Gooch. The Department also sponsors various training programs, including the annual Sissonville Fire and Rescue School.


The San Diego County-Imperial County Regional Communications System (RCS) provides public safety voice and data communications to more than 200 local, state, and federal agencies in the San Diego and Imperial counties. The RCS' vision is to provide our users with seamless communication with their own and other public safety/service agencies. No one's safety should be in jeopardy because public safety/service personnel can't communicate with one another. The San Diego County Sheriff's Department's Wireless Services Division oversees the operation and maintenance of the RCS.

This essay connects Burke's concept of a mind-body dialectic with studies of embodied rhetorics to explore connections between bodily vocations and the writing linked to them. Randonneuring, a form of endurance bicycling, and the ride reports written by participants, provides a case in point.
Combining a dramatistic analysis with the Toulmin model productively contributes to a rhetorical understanding of the 2016 presidential election and locates Burke as an integral component of political communication criticism. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton's rhetoric differed not only on policy arguments, but also on their rhetorical vision for America. Trump's campaign arguments privileged the agent and thus invoked identification with an idealist worldview, while Clinton's rhetoric privileged agency and thus invoked identification with a pragmatic one. Warrants and worldviews are interconnected parts of campaign rhetoric that contribute to both persuasion and identification.
Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al-Megrahi, who was convicted as the notorious Lockerbie Bomber, was freed by Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill on humanitarian grounds. The justification MacAskill provided in a speech on the release was widely criticized as cover for alternative motives. This essay uses MacAskill's speech as a case study of a failed construction of motives to reveal cultural constraints on the construction of motives. It illustrates the function of what Clarke Rountree has called "specific dimensions" of pentadic relationships (as opposed to "general dimensions") and how that shapes constructions of motives.

KB Journal's mission is to explore what it means to be "Burkean." To this end, KB Journal publishes original scholarship that addresses, applies, extends, repurposes, or challenges the writings of Kenneth Burke, which include but are not limited to the major books and hundreds of articles by Burke, as well as the growing corpus of research material about Burke. It provides an outlet for integrating and critiquing the gamut of Burkean studies in communication, composition, English, gender, literature, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and technical writing. In light of this, Kenneth Burke need not be sole focus of a submission, but Burke should be integral to the structure of the argument.
