Filamin A Rabbit Recombinant mAb detects endogenous level of Filamin A.
Filamins are the first family of non-muscle actin-binding protein. They are cytoplasmic proteins that cross-link cortical actin into a dynamic three-dimensional structure. They interact with a large number of cellular proteins of great functional diversity, suggesting that they are unusually versatile signalling scaffolds. Filamins are a family of actin-binding proteins composed of filamin A, B and C. Filamin A serves as a central mechanotransduction element of the cytoskeleton.

Do markets and trade help or hurt the global food system adapt to climate change?
March 9, 2017 by mprasad
By Keith Wiebe, IFPRI
Rapidly expanding global trade in the past three decades has lifted millions of people out of poverty. But trade has also reduced manufacturing wages in high income countries and made entire industries uncompetitive in some communities, giving rise to nationalist politics that seek to stop or reverse further trade expansion in the United States and Europe. Given complex and uncertain political support for trade, how might changes in trade policy affect the global food system's ability to adapt to climate change?
The authors for the new Food Policy paper "Do markets and trade help or hurt the global food system adapt to climate change?" argue that the best way to understand food security in a changing climate is by looking at it as a double exposure: the exposure of people and processes to both economic and climate-related shocks and stressors. Trade can help us adapt to climate change, or not. If trade restrictions proliferate, double exposure to both a rapidly changing climate and volatile markets will likely jeopardize the food security of millions. A changing climate will present both opportunities and challenges for the global food system, and adapting to its many impacts will affect food availability, food access, food utilization and food security stability for the poorest people across the world. Global trade can continue to play a central role in assuring that global food system adapts to a changing climate. This potential will only be realized, however, if trade is managed in ways that maximize the benefits of broadened access to new markets while minimizing the risks of increased exposure to international competition and market volatility. For regions like Africa, for example, enhanced transportation networks combined with greater national reserves of cash and enhanced social safety nets could reduce the impact of 'double exposure' on food security.
The paper can be accessed online and downloaded in pdf from this page.

In my final year of high school, I spent time at the end of the world. At least that's how parents who dropped off or picked up their kid(s) here from other parts of the province described it.
The government of Canada had a bursary program meant to promote bilingualism and share anglophone and francophone cultures across the country. High school students could apply to the program to learn "the other language" at a French or English university for six week of language summer school. I applied late. I had hoped for Quebec City or Montreal. I got Pointe-de-l'Eglise (Church Point), Nova Scotia.
Click on image to enter a 360° image. You can then move your mouse (on a desktop) or swipe (on smart device) to turn around in the scene.
I took the train all the way from Sydney, Nova Scotia, to Church Point, which might not seem that far on a map, but this was not an express train. It stopped at every stop along the way and as the day went on, it began to feel like the journey would never end. It was certainly long enough to discover that there were 3 other kids on the train heading to the Ste-Anne summer school in Church Point as well.
Finally, we were there! The train stopped, well, it seemed in the middle of nowhere. It was dark. There was no train station. All we could see was what appeared to be a dirt road leading away from the tracks. As we stood in the quiet darkness with our suitcases, after the train chugged away into the blackness, the others looked at each other in a bit of a panic. This was not town centre, there were no cabs as had been expected. Me? The train was a few minutes early, so I wasn't nervous yet. Unlike my newfound companions, I had co-ordinated my plans with the school, so I was able to reassure them with, "don't worry, someone is coming to pick me up." Someone did, a little surprised by my entourage, but all was well.
The sun rose the next morning on a spectacular day. I followed the sounds of the ocean to an amazing beach and my disappointment at not getting out of the province quickly faded. And there was more to explore. Université Sainte-Anne is not only the sole French language university in Nova Scotia, but it is also surrounded by the very rich Acadian culture and history, in a picturesque area. We were there during the Acadian festival, the beach was a short walk away and the largest wooden church in North America, Eglise Sainte-Marie, is right there! I sang with the school choir, which sang in that church. It was a good summer and I've been wanting to get back here ever since.
Born and bred in the province, my fellow's stomping grounds lay between Halifax and Amherst. He had never felt the need to spend much time exploring other parts of the province – the family cottages were the perfect place to relax during time off, so why look elsewhere when he already knew a paradise? It was a happy summer when I finally was able to drag him out of his comfort zone and show him more of the province in which he grew up. He, like many other native Bluenosers, had no idea this church existed. I had been telling him what an architectural wonder it was, but he never really got it…until, that is, a spire appeared ahead of us as we drove from Digby to Halifax. He said the words. You know, those words you love to hear but still have you wanting to throw something at the speaker? "You're right." He was impressed. He is now looking forward to peeking around more corners in Nova Scotia to see what other treasures are waiting to be discovered.
More information about the church, including a live webcam that looks over the university campus and onto St. Mary's Bay.

Werner «Wieni» Keller (* 29. Januar 1934 in Zürich; † 28. Dezember 2020 ebenda) war ein Schweizer Klarinettist des Traditional Jazz und Unternehmer.

Leben
Keller war gelernter Motorradmechaniker und brachte sich mit 14 Jahren das Saxophon-Spiel selbst bei. 1950 gründete er mit Freunden die Tremble Kids in Zürich, bei denen er kurz nach der Gründung für den Klarinettisten einsprang und danach bei diesem Instrument blieb. Keller wurde der Bandleader. Die Band hatte insbesondere ab Mitte der 1950er Jahre grosse Erfolge in Mitteleuropa. 1956 machten sie ihre ersten Schallplattenaufnahmen. 1961 beendete er seine Karriere als professioneller Musiker, 1963 heiratete er und wurde Vater. Er organisierte aber zum Beispiel in der Casabar in Zürich das Jazzprogramm; ab 1971 spielte er auch wieder regelmässig mit den Tremble Kids, die damals einen Schallplattenvertrag von MPS bekamen. Ab 1985 spielte er mit den Buddha's Gamblers vorwiegend im Swing-Stil.

In den 1960er-Jahren gründete er mit seiner Ehefrau, einer Coiffeuse, eine Handelsgesellschaft. Mitte der 1970er-Jahre lancierte Keller die Import Parfumerie. Sie ermöglichte in einer rechtlichen Grauzone, Duftwässer in der Schweiz deutlich billiger zu verkaufen als in den üblichen Parfümerien. Damit wurde er reich, er verkaufte das Unternehmen, das in der Zwischenzeit zahlreiche Verkaufsläden in der Schweiz hatte, in den 1990er-Jahren.

Keller, der in Zürich lebte, verstarb kurz vor Jahresende 2020 im Alter von 86 Jahren in Zürich.

On January 10, golf industry personnel from throughout the Greater Vancouver area gathered at Riverway Golf Course in Burnaby for a BC Allied Golf Association town hall meeting designed to review the advocacy history between implementation of phase 3 water restrictions during the summer of 2015 and today, present a summary of the irrigation survey commissioned by AGA-BC aimed at fulfilling the regulator's request for data, and to solicit input and direction from the golf industry at large for implementation of water use management plans as an alternative to arbitrary restrictions based on the day, time or irrigated area.
Presenting were Jerry Rousseau, WCTA Executive Director, Jim Ross, Prairie Turfgrass Research Centre (retired) and Jamie Robb, BCGSA Vice President.
In search of a sportsfield water management plan template for sportsfields to use as a guide, we've been in touch with STMA via Sports Turf Canada and have begun contacting a few WCTA members. Experience from the golf lobby effort will be helpful however certain differences require a slightly modified approach.
Message to our sportsfield members in all locations – we would be interested to know if you are currently operating under a water management plan and if so, we'd appreciate having a copy. Please contact exec.director@wctaturf.com if you can assist.

Q: Refreshing picturebox image in visual basic I am coding a program that edits pictures, I have a picture box where I load a bitmap, the first image loads fine, but if I want to load a second image, the second image won't load and the first one stays, it won't refresh. How can I do to change the image in the picture box using 2 different bitmaps?
I have PictureBox3.Image = bm where bm is a bitmap variable, it loads fine, but then if I press the other button to load another bitmap in PictureBox3 (PictureBox3.Image = bm2), it won't load.
Private Sub Button3_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
    Dim clr As Integer
    Dim ymax As Integer
    Dim xmax As Integer
    Dim x As Integer
    Dim y As Integer
    Dim bm As Bitmap = PictureBox1.Image
    xmax = bm.Width - 1
    ymax = bm.Height - 1
    For y = 0 To ymax
        For x = 0 To xmax
            With bm.GetPixel(x, y)
                clr = 0.21 * .R + 0.72 * .G + 0.07 * .B
            End With

        For x = 0 To xmax
            With bm2.GetPixel(x, y)
                clr = (1 * .R + 1 * .G + 1 * .B) / 3
            End With

"Just a quick note to say thanks for Rob's help this morning. He certainly lived up to your claim that itauthority can sort in minutes what would take hours to do ourselves and probably end in tears of frustration."
We have today received a report from BT OpenReach explaining that the London Riots have impacted some parts of the BT network and customers should expect occasional delays when raising faults or placing new orders.
BT OpenReach have stated "During this period of serious civil disturbance in parts of London and other cities in the UK, OpenReach continues to provide a normal service as far as possible across the country.
However we would like to advise customers that some local disruption is likely where risks to our people are too great or the police or fire authorities will not allow us access.
In addition, work in the late afternoons, evenings and at night in parts of London and in a number of town and city centres, continues to be severely restricted until law and order is fully restored.
There has been some impact on the service we are able to provide our customers, including missed appointments, where our engineers have been unable to access affected areas.
In these exceptional circumstances, it may be necessary, in certain areas, to focus our restricted resources on repair rather than provision to ensure your end users have service.
We estimate that, for the rest of this week at least, there will be between 500 and 1000 jobs outstanding each day requiring re-appointing and we will work with you to ensure this is done as smoothly as possible."

Q: Array to Newline String to Array again through HTML I have an array that comes in from from my API that I would like to arrange in a way that is better for the user (namely, in a column as opposed to the typical comma separated printed array).
This is my JS Fiddle to give a clearer picture: https://jsfiddle.net/2z89owas/
My question is, how can I get output3 to display just like output (and maintain its status as an iterable array like it was as dates)?

A: First you should not be using value for an html element. You can use .value for extracting value from inputs. Change your line to:
var val = document.getElementById('output2').innerHTML;

Afterwards, you have to split the same way you did join.
var dates3 = val.split('<br>');

document.getElementById('output3').innerHTML = dates3;

A: You can directly use join, something like:
document.getElementById('output3').innerHTML = dates.join(',');

A: You can try mapping over the contents of dates instead, as so:
let datesElem = dates.map(date =>`<p>${date}</p>`);
// test: console.log(datesElem)

document.getElementById('output3').innerHTML = datesElem

I was using coupons forever,,! Probably since I was 18!
I have been using coupons for years. I hate spending more than I have to on anything!
Although I have used coupons before in the past. I have just recently just begun calling myself a couponer. Very new at it.
I've started using coupons for over 5 years now, but past 2 years, i've been paying more attention to what coupons i have..
I am a new couponer, started a few months ago and loving it.

Egyptian pro-democracy activist free after 5 years in prison
CAIRO (AP) — A leading Egyptian pro-democracy activist was freed from prison early Friday after serving a five-year sentence for organizing and taking part in protests, his family and lawyer said. The terms of his release, however, require that he report to a police station every day for the next five years.
Egypt's leading pro-democracy activist Alaa Abdel-Fattah takes a moment as he speaks about his late father Ahmed Seif, one of Egypt's most respected human rights lawyers, during a conference held at the American University in Cairo, Egypt. Abdel-Fattah was released from prison early Friday March 29, 2019, after serving a five-year sentence for inciting and taking part in protests, his family and lawyer said.
Egypt's leading pro-democracy activist Alaa Abdel-Fattah walks with his sister Mona Seif prior to a conference held at the American University in Cairo, near Tahrir Square, Egypt. Abdel-Fattah was released from prison early Friday March 29, 2019, after serving a five-year sentence for inciting and taking part in protests, his family and lawyer said.
Surrounded by plainclothes policemen, Egyptian prominent blogger Alaa Abdel-Fattah waves to the crowd after attending the funeral of his father, Ahmed Seif, in Cairo, Egypt. A leading Egyptian pro-democracy activist was released from prison early Friday March 29, 2019, after serving a five-year sentence for inciting and taking part in protests, his family and lawyer said.
Alaa Abdel-Fattah rose to prominence with the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings that swept the Middle East and in Egypt, toppled long-time President Hosni Mubarak. To many, his imprisonment three years later — at a time when authorities imposed draconian laws banning public gatherings and unauthorized demonstrations — was another sign of Egypt's return to autocratic rule.
Abdel-Fattah's sisters, Mona and Sanaa Seif, posted on Facebook that "Alaa is out," along with a video of him at home, playing with a dog. His lawyer, Khaled Ali, confirmed the release by posting: "Thanks God, Alaa Abdel-Fattah at home."
Facebook pages set up in support of Abdel-Fattah, including "Free Alaa," posted videos of him grinning, hugging and shaking hands with friends as he walked out of a police station in Cairo. In the background, women were ululating. Later in the day, he was pictured massaging the feet of his child Khaled, who was born shortly after the 2011 uprising.
Though out of prison, Abdel-Fattah's sentence stipulates that for the next five years he will be under "police observation" and must report to a police station every day. In some cases, released convicts only sign a logbook and then leave the police station but in others, measures are hasher.
Photojournalist Mahmoud Abu Zaid, popularly known as "Shawkan," who was released earlier this month also after a five-year term, must stay overnight at the police station for the next five years. He is also prohibited from managing his financial assets and property for the duration of those five years — measures that Amnesty International has called "outrageous."
It's unclear to what extent that part of Abdel-Fattah's sentence will be carried out. An outspoken dissident, Abdel-Fattah was detained several times before under different governments for lobbying for civil rights on social media and in public. An influential blogger, he hails from a family of political activists, lawyers and writers. His late father was one of Egypt's most tireless rights lawyers, his sisters are also political activists and his aunt is award-winning novelist Ahdaf Soueif.
"We're overwhelmed with joy that he is out and amongst us, but I also feel how wrong it is that he spent five years unjustly in prison," the novelist told The Associated Press over the phone from London.
"We are heartened by the amount of joy his release has generated across the world," she added. "We hold everyone who is still unjustly in prison, everyone who's been disappeared, very much in our hearts and thoughts."
Abdel-Fattah's five-year sentence was his longest prison term. He was convicted for taking part in a peaceful demonstration following the military's ouster in July 2013 of Egypt's freely elected but controversial Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
After Morsi's ouster, Egypt's military-backed transitional authorities waged a heavy crackdown on his supporters who had rallied against his ouster, including a sit-in by Islamists in Cairo that was broken up by security forces in an operation that left hundreds dead.
Within weeks, the government also went after secular and liberal activists who opposed a newly introduced law banning street protests without prior permission from authorities. The new law required participants to formally ask the Interior Ministry three days in advance whether they can hold a rally while also setting prison terms and high fines for violators.
The demonstration that led to Abdel-Fattah's arrest and sentencing was against trials of civilians before military tribunals, known for their swift and harsh rulings. Security forces raided his house after the protest, beat up his wife and confiscated his laptops but he was not there. He later turned himself in.
"I don't deny the charge," he wrote in a statement released at the time. "It's an honor to hold responsibility for people's rallies in defiance of legalizing the return of" Mubarak-style rule. Egypt under current President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, a former general, has rolled back many of the freedoms won by the 2011 uprising. El-Sissi has silenced most dissenting voices in the media and placed severe restrictions on civil society groups. The Muslim Brotherhood, from which former President Morsi hailed, has been outlawed as a terrorist group.

@george1421 Increasing PHP-fpm memory did the trick. Thx for the thinking together.
@browolf Are you running into the CPU stall issue too?
@Sebastian-Roth Brilliant. Thank you so much!
@Sebastian-Roth I have 70 same model PCs and same SSDs. The PCs were purchased at the same time and were configured on the same day.

@EricLA2K Thanks heaps for keeping us posted. I am fairly sure this will help other users as well!!
UNSOLVED Lenovo X1 Tablet (Gen 3) Stuck at "init.xz...ok"
@dpusser_CMS Yes, ich can understand that it seems a little over the top to build your very own kernel just having started to use Linux. Bu hey, I think it's never to early to get your fingers dirty and this is not very hard to do with all the things provided. There is not much you can mess up so I'd encourage you to just give it a go and simply ask if you think something is not going the right way. Just take a picture of the screen with an error or whatever and we'll guide you the rest of the way!
SOLVED FoG with UEFI or Secure Boot?
@jcabuco Yeah, in gernal that's right. But switching forth and back is not very convenient. You might want to look into setting up dnsmasq as ProxyDHCP as George suggested at some point.
@nevinconstantin Please keep us posted on the issue and if and how you were able to solve this. Resizing to a smaller disk does actually work in many cases. So it is not something FOG is unable to handle in general. But there are partition layouts where the later partition(s) prevent from a full resize.
@Sebastian-Roth Yes, problem solved. The error is gone (sorry for the bad photo): https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZhWkYuHLTwndZBZPA Thanks!
@Quazz ok, then i keep my already downloaded kernels/inits, and wait for next release for further tests.
Hey, Thanks again, it's ok on both Vms and 3050 with "REFIND_EFI" Bios Exit Type. We can pass this post in resolve state. Have a good day.

It seems like everyone and their uncle was at the Karachi Eat Festival. The crowds were intense, the lines were long but dedicated foodies made their way to try Fatso's grilled cheese sandwiches, Choc and Churros churros and something called chocolate gol gappay which I did not even attempt to get because there are only so many times one can die and go to heaven. Set against the backdrop of Frere Hall, the whole place was a photo op, so armed with a camera, Amna and I attacked the festival (and the food). Join us? Yes.
Because did you even go to the festival if you didn't take a photo in the Chai Wala rickshaw?
Mandatory "in the moment" shot.
Emaan's Cakes got us feeling some type of way.
The Magnum kiosk was lit. And the kind stranger who took our picture was the best.
Atiya: I am a khao suey junkie and therefore, Saniya's Kitchen did not disappoint. So spicy and tangy.
Fatso's grilled cheese roast beef sandwich was SO WORTH my burnt tongue.
Amna: These balloons at the Magnum lounge were the ultimate selfie background!
But seriously, the lemonade at The Melting Pot was delicious!
And the award to the best lighting goes to the Lipton stall. All the goals.
Hope you enjoyed this tour! Did you go to the festival? What were your favorite vendors? Let us know!

Make sure that you use the latest version of VCStarter. Check this thread: http://www.vietco...#post_9981. I recommend using VCStarter 1.7 BETA (you need to download and unpack 1.65.1 first, then replace VCStarter.dll by 1.7 BETA VCStarter.dll).
How many FPS do you get? Maybe too many, which causes the game to behave weird. So, in VCstarterConfig.exe, check the option "Limit FPS to fix stuck bug" and set it to 120 FPS.
ah ok, no I am running to that patch, I will do what you write there and report back!

Marvin L. Ratts Has Passed Away
Mar 8, 2016 | News
Marvin L. Ratts, 91, born May 31, 1924 passed away Saturday, March 5, 2016 at Russell, Kansas. He was born in Atlanta, Kansas, the son of Lawrence and Mary (Williams) Ratts. Marvin joined the U.S. Army in early 1942 serving in Europe during WWII with the 101st Airborne Division. Marvin received an Honorable Discharge from the Army in early January of 1946 and returned to Kansas State University graduating with a degree in Geology.
Marvin was united in marriage to Dorothy Gallup on June 6, 1950. He was employed by Dowell Inc. and worked in the oil and gas fields in Hugoton, Ulysses, and Great Bend before moving to Russell in 1952. He began working for Shields Oil Producers in September 1956 as a Geologist/Engineer and retired in March 1996 after 40 years. In April 2011, Marvin had the distinct honor of being inducted into the Oil and Gas Hall of Fame in Great Bend.
Besides activities related to work, Marvin had many other skills and interests. Marvin was a master of woodworking and made much of their furniture and cabinets. Marvin also enjoyed boating, fishing, hunting, golfing, and traveling with his belated wife, Dorothy.
Marvin was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Dorothy, on March 20, 2005, and his golfing "buddy" and son-in-law, Keith, on August 25, 2007. He is survived by his daughter Patricia Whisenand, daughter Glennis Wylie, four grandchildren, Anthony M. Whisenand, Teri Dee Whisenand (Phil), Tamara Jai Whisenand, and Shawn Charpentier (Scott); seven great grandchildren, Brittany, A.J., Michael, Andrew, Talyn, Sabra, and Colton. Marvin is also survived by his sister Martha Amyx and brother Bill Ratts.
Celebration of Marvin's life will be held at 10:30 A.M. Friday, March 11, 2016 at Pohlman-Varner-Peeler Mortuary in Russell. Burial will follow at the Russell City Cemetery where the Russell V.F.W. Post #6240 Honor Guard will conduct Military Rites. Visitation will be from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Thursday at Pohlman-Varner-Peeler Mortuary. A Memorial has been established with Russell Regional Hospital. Contributions and condolences may be sent in care to Pohlman-Varner-Peeler Mortuary, who is in charge of these arrangements. Marvin was a fine man, a wise mentor and friend, and a valued investor. Our deepest sympathy is extended to his children and extended family.


Nestled in an elbow of the Weweantic River, Birch Island Conservation Area isn't actually an island. But with river views peeking through the pines in nearly every direction, you could be forgiven for mistaking it for one. This town-owned conservation area is located next to the Coalition's Horseshoe Mill, creating a network of trails that are popular with hikers in Wareham.
With soft, hilly trails and glimpses of the Weweantic River at every turn, Birch Island is a place where everyone can enjoy the outdoors. The town of Wareham protected this land in 1972; since then, local outdoor enthusiasts have come to Birch Island to fish in the river and explore the woods.
Look low for toads, wildflowers, and other unique sights at Birch Island Conservation Area.
Starting at the parking area, follow the trail until you reach the main loop. The trails are blanketed with pine needles in many places, and they climb up and down gently rolling hills. Several smaller trails off to the side lead to fishing spots and scenic river views.
The pine forest at Birch Island provides shelter for animals large and small, from rabbits and opossums to white-tailed deer. You can also search the forest for songbirds. Near the edge of the river, look for many species of wintering waterfowl feeding on the Weweantic's rich fish and plant life.
The day after Thanksgiving is a great time to take a walk outside. You can stretch your legs, walk off a big meal, and spend some more quality time with your loved ones.
Discover Buzzards Bay's largest freshwater river at Horseshoe Mill, part of the growing Weweantic River Reserve in Wareham.
If you want to explore a classic Wareham landscape, Westgate Conservation Area is an ideal spot.
Canoe or kayak upstream from Fearing Hill Swamp in Wareham to explore the Weweantic River's protected wooded shores.

Q: Find UserPrincipals where name is empty I want to return all UserPrincipals that do not have a name.
Using this code:
List<UserPrincipal> searchPrinciples = new List<UserPrincipal>();
searchPrinciples.Add(new UserPrincipal(ctx) { Name = null });

Gives me an error:
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: Principal.Name cannot be null or empty.

I get the same error when using this search parameter:
 searchPrinciples.Add(new UserPrincipal(ctx) { Name = ""});

A: You can't set UserPrincipal.Name to null, according to the specification: (Principal.Name)

'Principal.Name' is the name of the principal or null if the name attribute is not set.
[...] Throws 'ArgumentNullException' if the application tries to set the name to null.

If you want it to be null (or empty), just don't set it all. It'll be initialized to null by default.
If you want to search all the UserPrincipal instances that have a null name, you can do something like this (LINQ):
IEnumerable<UserPrincipal> result = searchPrinciples.Where(p => String.IsNullOrEmpty(p.Name));


Simmons' playoff woes from previous year continued in Game 1 as he only scored nine points on nine shots. Now the teams face off in a critical Game 2 of the 2019 NBA Playoffs on Monday night at 8 p.m. ET. Sixers will not let that happen again and Vegas odds give them a -7.5 spread and expect them to beat the odds for the home win.
The team that averaged 23 wins per year over the previous three seasons has been to hell and back in the National Basketball Association. Russell proved his All-Star self, leading the Nets with 26 points and four assists.
Sixers head coach Brett Brown says that the use of a cell phone is "completely unacceptable" and that "the club will deal with it".
"I understand it. They want to see us win". That's big progress for us. "Like I said before, earlier in the season, we just wouldn't have the composure to close a game like that out".
However, other than Jimmy Butler's solid performance since he was the only one to show up, the Sixers made it clear in Game 1 there are plenty of reasons to be concerned over this series with the Nets, and here are three that stand out the most after Saturday.
Embiid's health is a key storyline for the Sixers. He is listed as questionable right now for Game 2 due to his knee injury. It's like every missed shot, you get booed so you get the next one and it's kind of like, 'should I shoot it or should I not because I'm about to get booed?' I don't know.

The 76ers, however, were surprisingly topped by sixth-seeded Brooklyn, 111-102 at the Wells Fargo Center.

Former McLaren doctor Aki Hintsa dies at 58
Andrew Lewin 16/11/2016 at 12:06 16/11/2016 at 12:07
Former McLaren doctor Aki Hintsa - who worked closely with Mika Hakkinen, Kimi Raikkonen and Lewis Hamilton - has died at the age of 58.
Hintsa first worked in F1 in 1998, going on to become physician and chief medical officer at McLaren where he worked closely with his fellow Finns. The founder of Hintsa Performance, he stopped work at McLaren in 2013 before publishing his book The Core - Better Life, Better Performance in 2015.
In July 2015 it was reported Hintsa was battling cancer, with the Finn passing away on Tuesday 15 November.
McLaren posted the following obituary to Hintsa on the team's website:
It was with deep sorrow that we heard the news this morning that Dr Aki Hintsa had died.
Aki had been fighting cancer with extraordinary courage in recent months, his indomitable spirit an inspiration to all who crossed his path.
His last appearance at a Grand Prix was at Monza this year, where his warm smile and infectious chuckle were very much in evidence, despite the battle that was being waged within his newly slight frame.
He first joined McLaren back in the days of Mika Hakkinen and Kimi Raikkonen, with both of whom he developed a powerful rapport, working with them not only to improve their physical fitness but also to help them develop the mental and emotional strength to translate their mercurial talents into the disciplined performances that would result in many grand prix wins for McLaren and, in Mika's case, world championships in both 1998 and 1999.
Aki worked with similar success with the drivers who followed in Mika's and Kimi's McLaren wheeltracks, and grew particularly close to Lewis Hamilton. Undoubtedly, Aki played a crucial role within Lewis's inner circle during his time at McLaren, and it was often to Aki that Lewis would turn first in times of stress. Equally, no-one was more thrilled than Aki when Lewis won the 2008 world championship for McLaren with an overtaking move that has since passed into racing folklore, on the last corner of the last lap of the last race, in Brazil, where Aki's trademark warm smile and infectious chuckle were replaced by exuberant high-fives, muscular bear-hugs and indecipherable whoopings in his native Finnish.
First and foremost, Aki was a doctor. Prior to arriving in Formula 1 he had practised medicine in many parts of the world, particularly in poverty-stricken and war-torn parts of Ethiopia in the 1980s and 1990s, where he worked as a missionary-cum-medic and combined his magnificent qualities as an inspirational leader with great medical expertise and an ability to improvise in dreadfully difficult conditions, often requiring considerable physical bravery and enormous mental fortitude so to do. In his uplifting book 'The Core', published last year, he told for the first time a multitude of stories that surprised even those Formula 1 friends who had known him well for many years. Such was Aki's modesty that he had never boasted about his life in Africa, or indeed the fact that before that he had started out as a first-class ice hockey player in his native Finland.
'The Core' is more than an autobiography, however. It is also a profoundly intelligent self-help book. In it Aki urges his readers to ask themselves the questions that most busy people never stop to consider. Who am I? What do I want from my life? Am I even in control of my own life? How can I improve the quality of my home life without compromising my professional life at the same time? How can I achieve inner and outer wellbeing, in other words?
Doing that successfully is far from easy, but undoubtedly Aki achieved it. He was taken from us far too soon, aged just 58, but he packed more into his all-too-brief life than did many who lived almost twice as long. And, in so doing, he illuminated the lives of everyone he met, friendly and funny and kind and wise as he invariably was.
God bless you, dear friend. You will be missed. Indeed you will be missed more than these words can say, and more than you will ever know.

The purpose of this document is to provide a quick way for someone who wants to test drive Domino on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, for example for a lab pilot, etc. This document is not a comprehensive installation guide for Domino 7 on SLES 9, but I hope that it may save some time to others like me who needed a running Domino server fast, to eventually tune it or use it together with other solutions like Novell Identity Manager.
At the time of this writing, there was no Redbook for Domino 7 on Linux.
I got my Domino version from the IBM web site, which is a 90-day eval. I got the server portion for Linux, and the client/admin portion for Windows. I will concentrate on the server side, since the client side is fairly trivial.
The first step is to create a user and a group called notes on SLES.
Figure 1: Start YaST as root, and select Security and Users.
Figure 2: From the User and Group Administration screen, click Add.
Figure 3: Create a user called notes, and select a password.
Figure 4: You should now have a new user called notes.
Figure 5: Now select the Groups radio button, and click Add.
Figure 6: Create a group called notes, and add notes as a member.
Figure 7: You should now see the new group called notes.
Before we start the installation, we need to modify an X server parameter, otherwise the second portion of the installation, the graphical portion, will not launch properly.
Figure 8: in YaST, select the System category, then click on /etc/sysconfig Editor.
Figure 9: Expand the Desktop, then the Display manager section, then select DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN and set its value to yes.
Now we are ready to launch the installation. You need to open a Terminal screen as root, and mount the installation CD or ISO.
Figure 10: If you try to launch the installation with a non-root user, you will get an error message like the above.
Figure 11: Switch to root using su, then launch the installation.
Figure 12: Launching the installation executable.
Figure 14: Domino Server Installation Welcome screen.
Figure 15: Press TAB to continue.
Figure 16: Press TAB to read the Software Agreement.
Figure 18: Press Tab to continue.
Figure 19: Press TAB if you agree with the terms.
Figure 20: Accept the default(No) by pressing TAB unless you only want the data directories.
Figure 21: Press TAB unless you don't want the default of Domino Enterprise Server.
Figure 22: You could also select to install a Domino Messaging Server. To change the selection, press Spacebar.
Figure 23: The 3rd type of installation is Domino Utility Server.
Figure 24: Press TAB in order to accept the default which is to install all template files.
Figure 25: Press TAB if you are ready to accept the default of No.
Figure 26: You now have the opportunity to select the program directory. Press TAB to accept the default.
Figure 27: Next you will have to select the existing user and group for the installation.
Figure 28: Press TAB to accept the default of No if you do not want to run multiple servers.
Figure 29: You can change the default data directory, of press TAB to accept the default.
Figure 30: Press TAB to accept the default user which is notes.
Figure 31: Press TAB to accept the default group which is notes.
Figure 32: Here you can accept the default, which is Manual Server Setup, but I decided to go for Local Server Setup in order to launch the setup tool automatically.
Figure 33: Once the configuration is complete, you are now ready to install the program.
Figure 34: You have a last opportunity to review your configuration. Press TAB to install.
Figure 35: You should now see the progress bar for the installation.
Figure 36: Once the program installation portion is complete, the graphical setup tool should launch automatically.
Figure 37: If you get an error similar to the one above about the DISPLAY environment variable, it is because you did not configured the display manager as in Figure 9.
If you need to re-install, you can delete the 2 directories with rm -R as root, and restart the installation after configuring the display manager.
Figure 38: Make sure that xdm is listening on port 6000 by using the netstat command.
Figure 39: Welcome screen for the graphical setup portion of the installation.
Figure 40: Select between first or additionnal server then click Next.
Figure 41: Select a server name, then type in a descriptive title. Click Next.
Figure 42: Type an organization name, and select a Certifier password. Click Next.
Figure 43: Select a Domino domain name, then click Next.
Figure 44: Select the administrator's name, choose a password, then click Next.
Figure 45: Select the internet services you want, then click Next.
Figure 46: It is also possible to go into Advanced Domino Services for a more granular list.
Figure 47: Select the network settings, then click Next.
Figure 48: You can modify the security settings. Click Next when you are done.
Figure 49: You have one last chance to review your settings. Click Setup when you are ready.
Figure 50: You should now see the Domino Server Setup progress screen. It took less than a minute on my system, which is a VMware machine.
Figure 51: You should get to this Setup summary screen after the setup portion is completed.
Before you start the Domino server, you may want to double check a few things.
this issue yet on my system.  I will update the article once I find a solution.
But on my system, this is not sufficient.
Figure 52:  Starting the Domino server.
Figure 53: Domino server console during startup.
Figure 54: Domino server console. You may be getting the error about bindsock like me. Also, there is an error about port 6400 being already in use, but this is not true.
I will try to revolve these errors and post a footnote for this article later.
Now we are ready to test the server with a client running on Windows. If you have not done so already, you should install the client on a Windows machine.
Figure 55: Starting the Windows client for the first time.
Figure 56: Enter the name for the notes user, and the Domino server name. You will need either DNS resolution or an entry in hosts in order to make the connection.
Figure 57: Adding an entry in the Windows hosts file in order to resolve the Domino server name.
Figure 58: You may be getting a warning like the one above. It is not mandatory to have the same password as your Windows logon, which would provide you with a single sign-on.
Figure 59: Without single sign-on, you must enter the password for the notes user.
Figure 60: You will be presented with several optional configuration options like Instant messaging and Internet mail.
Figure 61: Setup screen for additional services.
Figure 62: Setup screen for Internet mail.
Figure 63: Once you are done with the configuration, you should see this Welcome screen.
Figure 64: If you close the Welcome screen, you should be able to browse the domain information.
Figure 65: With Domino Administrator, you should be able to manage your servers and domain. Above is a Remote Console screen for our server.
Figure 66: You can access different pages like the one above which allows you to manage the services.
Figure 67: The above page is for managing the server's document.
This is it for this quickstart guide for installing Domino 7 on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9. Hopefully, this simple guide will help you to get up to speed faster, and allow you to get a rough idea about the steps involved.
Feel free to send comments, feedback and questions to me.
You get only a little mistake when he is searching for a SLES configuration. This error you can ignore.
where "domsrvr" is an example of the user id that will run the Domino server. Specify the UNIX user name in the first column that is the owner of the notesdata directory specified during Domino installation. If more than one Domino partition exists on the same Linux for zSeries platform, repeat these lines for each user id. The "soft" value specifies the new default file descriptor limit (ulimit -n), and the "hard" value specifies the maximum file descriptor limit that may be set by the user.
The user id must login after the above changes are made and saved.
Warning: Always make /etc/security/limits.conf change ( 1. above) in addition to modification of the "start" script. Otherwise, on the occasion that Domino is started from a login session, the file descriptor limit will be inadequate.
You should see the server starting.
As I didn't really see any mention of it anywhere else, I though I'd just write this as a comment to your Quickstart guide to Domino 7 on Suse Linux.
You need to put proper permissions on tunekrnl to allow this file to change some of the system variables which are needed to give Domino a better performance.
Thanks for your extremely detailed and useful article that helped me achieve this for a client with little fuss.
After creating the notes user, run sux notes as this initialises their gui environment, otherwise the server config still doesn't run.
These can be with Postfix port 25, Apache port 80, NDS LDAP ports 389/636. Once we killed postfix and moved the Domino services to other ports, the errors vanishes.
The bindsock problem is self induced.
Once that is done, you can restart smtp and the error message will disappear.
This is a longstanding and misleading display bug where port 6400 decimal is x1900 hex which when you byteswap it, becomes ... port 25! You can read more about this in my post to the Suse Domino list http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-domino/2004-Sep/0013.html.


A powerful new material could one day speed up the charging process of electric cars and help increase their driving range.
"Our material combines the best of both worlds -- the ability to store large amounts of electrical energy or charge, like a battery, and the ability to charge and discharge rapidly, like a supercapacitor," said William Dichtel, a pioneer in the young research field of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) at Northwestern University.
The material has stability, capable of 10,000 charge/discharge cycles, the researchers report. They also performed extensive additional experiments to understand how the COF and the conducting polymer, called poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) or PEDOT, work together to store electrical energy.
Dichtel and his team made the material on an electrode surface. Two organic molecules self-assembled and condensed into a honeycomb-like grid, one 2D layer stacked on top of the other. Into the grid's holes, or pores, the researchers deposited the conducting polymer.
Each pore is only 2.3 nanometres wide, but the COF is full of these useful pores, creating a lot of surface area in a very small space. A small amount of the fluffy COF powder, just enough to fill a shot glass and weighing the same as a dollar bill, has the surface area of an Olympic swimming pool.
The modified COF showed a dramatic improvement in its ability to both store energy and to rapidly charge and discharge the device. The material can store roughly ten times more electrical energy than the unmodified COF, and it can get the electrical charge in and out of the device 10 to 15 times faster.
Dichtel, the Robert L. Letsinger Professor of Chemistry at the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, is presenting his team's findings at the American Chemical Society (ACS) National Meeting in Philadelphia. Also, a paper by Dichtel and co-authors from Northwestern and Cornell University was published by the journal ACS Central Science.

OTTAWA — Canada is deploying a military transport plane to ferry relief supplies to Indonesia, where there are reports the government is restricting the activities of foreign aid workers in the aftermath of a deadly earthquake and tsunami.
The Department of National Defence says the Hercules plane loaded with shelter kits, tarps and other equipment and carrying 20 Canadian military members left Trenton, Ont., on Monday and is scheduled to arrive in Indonesia on Friday.
It will help move supplies and other aid around the region, which continues to experience tremors nearly two weeks after a massive earthquake and tsunami killed at least 2,000 people on the island of Sulawesi.
Ottawa previously announced that Canada was contributing $1.5 million in funding to help aid organizations provide emergency assistance to those affected by the disaster.
Yet even as the Canadian military arrives in the country, Indonesian officials are reportedly trying to limit foreign involvement in the disaster relief effort.
After making a rare appeal for international assistance, the country's aid agency says it now only needs tents, water treatment units, generators and transport, and that foreign aid workers can only be in the field with Indonesian partners.

SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, Texas (AP) — Three thousand mourners filled an event center to capacity for the funeral of eight members of a family who were among the more than two dozen killed in a shooting at a small Texas church.
RELATED: The glue that kept Sutherland Springs together before and after the shootings
Families of the victims accompanied black and white hearses in limousines as fire marshals and sheriff's deputies shepherded hundreds more — some in funeral attire, others in everyday clothes — to the funeral Wednesday (Nov. 15) in Floresville, Texas, about 12 miles from the First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, where the Nov. 5 shooting occurred.

John survived the shooting Nov. 5 at the church but Crystal, who was pregnant, was killed along with three of their children. (Torie McCallum via AP, File)
Church member John Holcombe, among the massacre's few survivors, invited the public to attend the funeral of his pregnant wife, Crystal, 36, and three of her children, Greg, 13, Emily, 11, and Megan, 9; his parents, 60-year-old Bryan and Karla Holcombe, 58; a brother, 36-year-old Marc Holcombe; and Marc's 18-month-old daughter, Noah. The dead will be buried privately on an unspecified date.
News reporters were barred from entering the event center and were being held in a pen with two trucks obscuring the view inside.
The gunman, Devin Patrick Kelley, began firing into the church as John Holcombe's father, Bryan Holcombe, an assistant pastor, ascended to the pulpit. Walking up and down the center aisle, Kelley killed 25 people at the church, including crying babies at point-blank range, according to witness accounts. Authorities have put the official toll at 26, because Crystal Holcombe was pregnant.

Holcombe was managing the church's audio-visual operations at the back of the building and escaped with minor injuries. Crystal Holcombe's 7-year-old daughter Evelyn also escaped the barrage of gunfire. Her eldest child, 14-year-old Phillip, had stayed home from church services that day.
Crosses for members of the Holcombe family are part of a makeshift memorial for the victims of the shooting at Sutherland Springs Baptist Church placed along the highway Nov. 10, 2017, in Sutherland Springs, Texas.

Kelley died of what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound after he fled in a vehicle. Authorities say Kelley was involved in a domestic dispute with his mother-in-law, a member of the church who wasn't present that day. However, among the victims was Lula White, the gunman's wife's 71-year-old grandmother.
Kelley had a history of domestic violence: He was given a bad conduct discharge from the Air Force after pleading guilty to assaulting his first wife and stepson.
Under federal law, anyone convicted of domestic violence cannot purchase a firearm. But the Air Force failed to inform federal law enforcement authorities that Kelley had been court-martialed. When he tried to buy guns after his release from a military prison, his conviction was not in the database used to conduct background checks, and the purchases went through.
In addition to those killed, another 20 people were injured in the shooting. Eight survivors remained hospitalized Wednesday at two San Antonio-area hospitals, their condition ranging from good to critical.
Brooke Army Medical Center reported five adults, listed in good to critical condition. University Health System had two children and one adult still hospitalized, with their conditions ranging from fair to serious.
Further details on the hospitalized victims weren't released.

Bela Pratapgarh (Hindi:   []), kurz Bela, ist eine Stadt im nordindischen Bundesstaat Uttar Pradesh.

Sie liegt im Südosten der Region Awadh (Oudh) rund 60 Kilometer nördlich von Prayagraj am Ufer des Flusses Sai. Zum Zeitpunkt der Volkszählung 2011 hatte Bela Pratapgarh 76.133 Einwohner. Die Stadt ist Verwaltungssitz des Distrikts Pratapgarh.

Bela wurde 1802 von den Briten als Quartier für die im Fürstenstaat Oudh stationierten Hilfstruppen nahe der Stadt Pratapgarh gegründet, die dank ihrer aus dem 17. Jahrhundert stammenden Festung ein Machtzentrum in der Region war. Seinen Namen erhielt Bela nach einem Tempel der Göttin Bela Bhawani am Ufer des Sai. Nach dem Indischen Aufstand von 1857 annektierten die Briten Oudh und machten Bela zum Verwaltungssitz des neugegründeten Distrikts Pratapgarh.

Die Namen Bela und Pratapgarh werden bisweilen vertauscht. So nennt sich der Bahnhof in Bela Pratapgarh Junction. An diesem Bahnhof kreuzen sich die Bahnstrecken von Lucknow über Raebareli nach Varanasi und von Prayagraj nach Faizabad. Auch die Straßenverbindung von Prayagraj nach Faizabad (National Highway 96) führt über Bela.

Ridiculous-looking iPhone gun accessory is ridiculous
By Mark_Raby 2011-01-29T06:05:13.28Z
There have been light guns since the days of the NES, and gun-shaped controller accessories continue to be a staple for every game console. Since people are starting to call the iPhone a serious game device, why not?
It's called the App Gun, courtesy of a company called AppToyz. All you have to do is strap your iPhone into the little case at the end of the gun, and suddenly you can play all those arcade shooters without the annoyance of your fingers getting in the way.
Well, to clarify, all the arcade shooters that are specifically designed for this accessory.
Above: Careful with this thing, you might put someone's eye out. Or, at the very least, you'll be the most annoying person on the subway
When you pull the trigger, it causes a little rubber arm to tap the touchscreen for you. These arms are not movable; they can only hit the screen at the spot where they're stationed. The App Gun comes with a download for a special augmented reality game, which uses the iPhone's camera to make it look like you're gunning down enemies right in front of you.
So if you want the perfect example of an "I have it because they make it" iPhone accessory, the App Gun will be available for you sometime this summer for around $30.

Q: Django - URL regex pattern I have a model named Tag and I have many of these in my database.
I want to access them in a page via a URL on the following way:
If I want to see Tags with id 1, 3 and 4, then the URL should end up in 134.
What regex pattern should I use in order to get, lets say, a list [1,3,4] from a URL like /.../134/?
Thanks in advance

A: It could be difficult/impossible to do with just a regex if both A.) the number of consecutive digits in the URL is arbitrary, and B.) you need to return each number to your code individually.
If you only need to grab the string of digits (then parse it later in your code), you could just use this:
/(\d+)/ (escape the /'s if they're used as delimiters)
Then you could just run some string manipulation on $1
If you need the regex to return each digit as $1, $2, $3, etc, I believe the only solution would be something rather inelegant, like this:
/(\d)(\d)?(\d)?(\d)?(\d)?(\d)?(\d)?(\d)?(\d)?(\d)?/

...in which case it would support a maximum of 10 tags in the URL.

A: You would need fixed width tag identifiers (e.g. 001003004), otherwise it's ambiguous. If you use that, you can just capture \d+ and then do something like this in the view:
>>> import re
>>> tag_string = "001003004"
>>> regex = re.compile("\d{3}")
>>> tag_list = map(int, regex.findall(tag_string))
[1, 3, 4]


Since I first published my recipe all those years ago, things have changed quite a bit. I've spent a lot of time geeking out on the process and tweaking it to make the absolute best chai ever. I even actually weigh everything now instead of measuring, it's far more accurate and reproducable.
To start out with, you'll need a really big stock pot, one that can handle 8 quarts of boiling water and can still be handled and poured without spilling. Add 8 quarts of water to it and start heating up. I've found it takes around 35 minutes on my stove to get to boiling.
Start prepping the ingredients. Thankfully, we're doing a much longer boil time so things like grinding up the cloves or breaking apart the peppercorns don't really matter. We'll get the essense of whatever ingredients are added no matter what.
Add all of the above to the heating water, let come to a boil. Reduce heat so that it's at a slow boil. It can take a bit to get this much water dialed in so it's not going to fast or too slow. Cover completely, don't leave the lid cracked or you'll lose too much water to evaporation. Let boil for approximately 3 hours.
If you're familiar with my previous recipe, you'll notice that we didn't add the ginger with everything else. This is because of the way that ginger dissolves into water. The longer that it goes, the more bitter it becomes. If we added the ginger now, it would be a very bitter batch of chai.
After about three hours, prepare 177g of ginger by thinly slicing it. Use the ginger from the coop if you can, you want the stuff with bright yellow flesh, not the larger ginger that's white. Add to the boiling water and boil for another 45 minutes to an hour.
At this point, you'll need a larger pot to strain stuff into. I have a thin mesh seive that works pretty well for filtering, really anything with a fine enough mesh to catch peppercorns should work. Transfer the excess spices to compost and rinse out the pot that everything was boiling in. Pour half the liquid from the larger pot into the smaller one. It should be about 3.5 quarts, I typically lose about a quart of water to evaporation. Transfer the other half to another pot that's large enough.
Next up is the tea. I currently use two different varieties, the Tower of London and All India blends from Harney and Sons. I buy it by the pound, loose leaf. I use about 65g of each, adding them staggered about 2.5 minutes apart so that I have time to strain each of them without going over a 5 minute steep time. I filter into the large pot then rinse out the main pot and transfer back, then repeat with the secondary.
After the tea has steeped, it's time to add the sugar. I use about 265g per, though usually don't actually measure it, just use about 2/3 of a cup. I'm no longer using brown sugar, instead I use a sugar I get at the coop called Turbinado. It's kind of a sugar in the raw, brown with large granules.
I don't add the milk right away anymore, instead I add that on a per-cup basis. Some of the people that I've given chai to also water it down with a little tap water, too. The new way of doing things does make some pretty strong concentrate.
