Cell Biology and Anatomy, PhD
Sam G. McClugage, PhD
Professor and Head
Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy
The Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy offers programs leading to PhD Degrees. The department has two sub-programs: Development, Cell, and Neurobiology (DCN) and Clinical Anatomy (CAP). Areas of concentration in the DCN are cellular and molecular biology, developmental biology, and neurobiology. There is considerable overlap in these fields, with, for example, some faculty working in the areas of cellular or developmental neurobiology, and others with interests in the molecular biology of reproduction and development. The goal of the program is to train promising students for careers in research and teaching. Students in the DCN program are encouraged to develop broad expertise in the disciplines of biochemistry, physiology, molecular biology, and genetics. The goal of the CAP program is to prepare students for a teaching and research position in an academic institution for health science professionals. This program is designed to train students to: 1) master and teach Gross Anatomy and related anatomical disciplines such as histology, embryology and human physiology in a contemporary health sciences curriculum, and 2) develop expertise to conduct scientific research in a competitive basic science or clinical research environment. Students in this program may also undertake research projects in the areas of developmental biology, cellular and molecular biology, or neurobiology as emphasized in the department, or research with a clinical emphasis. Departmental Graduate Admissions Committees evaluate applications for these programs. Admission is based upon the Graduate Record Examination (a minimum combined score of 1100 on verbal and quantitative portions), undergraduate grade point average (minimum of 3.0), and three letters of recommendation. The Advanced Subject GRE is recommended, and will also be taken into consideration.
Expected time for completion of the PhD 4-6 years. Students in the DCN program become involved in ongoing research projects during the first year in a laboratory rotation format, and are encouraged to identify a dissertation advisor during this time, or shortly thereafter. DCN students are required to take the Biochemistry and Cell and Molecular Biology courses offered by the new Interdisciplinary Program. Students in both programs may take any of the courses listed below. Cell Biology and Anatomy Faculty members are integrally involved with the LSUHSC Neuroscience Center of Excellence, the LSUHSC Eye Center, the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Center, the Center for Oral and Craniofacial Biology, and the Center for Molecular and Human Genetics. Interaction with members of these centers is encouraged.
The courses listed below will normally be required of students in the Development, Cell, and Neurobiology Program.

Illustrator Daniel D'Avila reveals how he uses his passion for surfing to create a unique render.
It's always best to create images around the things you love, harnessing personal experiences to create artwork that's unique and inspiring. It's a belief that 3D generalist Daniel D'Avila took to heart for his colourful illustration, Ink Riders.
"Art and surfing are both great passions of mine," says the artist. "Surfing itself is one of the most beautiful and aesthetic sports I know, and although surfing doesn't have a relation with art, the blend between them reached a great result."
D'Avila says he used DynaMesh and ZRemesher for the characters and Photoshop to simulate the mixed paints that go into making up the smoothly rendered, oval wave. In his day job D'Avila creates photorealistic images for advertising, and as a generalist he says he's always looking to push himself and try new techniques, which is where his personal work helps.
"What really inspires me is to achieve a fresh visual regardless of what the subject is. And generally I can only reach that with hard work and observation. In the end it's very rewarding though," says D'Avila. Generally the artist spends time sketching his subjects in 2D before researching anatomy and lighting. Then the modelling begins and finally D'Avila likes to test his compositions, adjusting and refining until the image takes shape and comes alive.
The first task was to set the base mesh in Modo. From a cylinder, I simply modelled the necessary polys needed for the sculpting process. Then I positioned the wave model in my camera scene. Sometimes, if necessary, I'll delete the polygons out of my field of view, so the scene becomes cleaner and lighter.
I exported the plane as an .obj and imported it into ZBrush. In the Subtool menu I clicked the Extract tab, to give the plane some thickness, then I set the value and clicked Accept. I prefer to do this before I start sculpting the details since it's better to have some volume to sculpt.
I used the Standard, Dam Standard and Smooth brushes to sculpt the wave's ridges and the details. Around the crests I used the Inflate brush for a better liquid effect.
When it comes to creating characters I always make sketches before I begin the modelling. I find it easier to separate the concept work from the modelling tasks. Once I was happy with the raw ideas, I gathered the chosen sketches and went back to ZBrush, where the 3D sketching process is much faster.
I sketched each character so they looked fluid; the end result needed the feeling of motion. In this case I didn't need a bunch of details since all of them would be made of paint. Once I was satisfied with the result I projected the high-resolution model over a low-resolution mesh in all subdivisions.
I used my optimised model for posing. I switched to the lowest subdivision and began tweaking with the Transpose tool until I found my desired pose. Photographic reference is very useful to look at during this stage. Once I was happy, I exported all the characters in a mid-resolution back to Modo.
I positioned all the characters in the scene and began making refinements in the wave itself by adding in paint drops and splatters. All these details were made with the Inflate and Move brushes.
The diffuse textures of the wave and characters were painted in Photoshop to simulate the mixed paint effect.
The textures and final material adjustments were applied in Modo. The same yellow background was used inside the environment so the mood and tone feels like a sunset.
After the render is done, I begin the post-production in Photoshop – colour corrections are the main work at this stage. The wave in the foreground was applied with a subtle depth-of-field blur in After Effects, then I added the final touches, such as the bokeh effect in the foreground. I changed the blend mode of the layer to Screen and voilà, Ink Riders was born!
Daniel D'Avila is a generalist illustrator who runs his own studio, D'Avila Studio, based in São Paulo, Brazil. D'Avila works for ad agencies in São Paulo whose clients include Panasonic, Citroën and Google. This article originally appeared in 3D World issue 182.


Pretty in Pink, Hot in Red, Sizzling in Blue are so passé this season in lingerie fashion. Any thoughts on Scintillating in Organic?
Lingerie has many roles to play – it's the shape lifter, the intimate companion, and also the fashion accessory. Well, while we are quite fixated on the fashion component, we're unjust towards our health.
Entrepreneur Neerja Lakhani with co-founder Abhishek Lodha introduced an organic lingerie line – Inner Sense, based in Ahmedabad, that is anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, and anti-fungal. "We're trying to bridge the gap between fashion and hygiene," said Neerja in a quick conversation with us.
Neerja, to begin with, tell us about the organic concept for Inner Sense products.
So, Inner Sense is certified by The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Our lingerie is 48% organic cotton, and rest is fiber. So, we source fabric at yarn stage from companies which are certified and get them processed at factories in India we have subcontracted with.
So, do you tie up with farmers and source at the micro-level?
We don't and we can't tie up with them as we don't require that much material and it wouldn't be a fair deal at both ends unless bought in bulk. But, the companies where we source yarn from have ties with farmers.
How do you ensure the fair-trade for farmers while working with the third party?
The companies that we have partnered with for sourcing are all government-certified and a body under certification always follows fair trade and gives the producers the amount they deserve.
Does Inner Sense make special efforts in empowering women?
So, except for the co-founder, we're an all-women team at Inner Sense.
You're also vocal about the vice of child labour. What do you do to support the cause?
I have always felt that maintaining fair trade, eliminating child labour, caring about the environment are few basic things which should be in everybody's daily conduct. It does get difficult to ensure if this is being followed as we can't make regular rounds at our partnered sources or factories, but we trust them as they are certified. When we see our vendors getting work done from little kids, be it chai serving, we strictly tell them to stop.
Can you please give us a peek into your personal eco-friendly lifestyle?
Well, I make sure to follow and maintain a zero-waste lifestyle. Be it a small or a big thing, I try to buy eco-friendly items and with the increased awareness, it has become a bit easier to find things that match your ideologies.
That's right. Coming to lingerie, what are few basics to be noted before shopping lingerie?
The foremost thing is to always keep hygiene in mind. We wear them for hours in a day, they are so close to our bodies, so we have to go deeper than its outer look. It's recommended to never wear a bra to sleep and if you do, please ensure the material. Know your size, buy the right fit, and avoid wearing synthetic, prefer wearing cotton.
Is there a myth about lingerie that you would like to break?
A lot of women in India are hesitant to buy underwire bras because of the discomfort it brings along but the comfort mostly depends on the cup size. You need to know your bust and cup size well.
Speaking of which, have you ever had an underwire (uncomfortable) situation as a woman entrepreneur?
Frankly, I haven't faced any uncomfortable situation. And, I actually feel this is a very good time for women in the world. There are women from different backgrounds working together and this part needs to be highlighted more. I think this will encourage more women to come forward and participate.
Talking about business, there were few initial difficulties. When we started selling lingerie online, we couldn't keep the correct tally of demand and supply as they were selling out faster.
Your brand has recently raised a good amount. Would you like to share any tips for women who are looking for funding?
The first step would be to make a record of how much amount is needed and plan it out on how effectively will you use it. You need to find out correct ways to inculcate the funding. Once your plan is sorted, there are so many companies, investors, and websites that can help you out with it. In the time of internet, all you need to do is invest time and research.
Wrapping up, what do you think is required to run a successful partnership?
It's very important for partners' views and goals for the company to be synced. There has to be understanding and trust between the partners.

A right bag of kooky weirdness. The work of New England's Merrill Garbus, it's all jarring guitars, African yodelling and clanking great drums. It sounds like it should be a horrible mess but her tribal post punk is actually terribly compelling.


The current MINI Countryman crossover is now in its second generation under BMW stewardship. It takes the conventional MINI to the next level and caters for those who need a slightly bigger car that can handle things such as a tougher terrain and is ideally suited for a rural environment.
Inside the Countryman,MINI has created an interior that's interesting to look at with plenty of design cues that hark back to the original car, but also housing a huge amount of modern technology that you'd expect to see in much bigger, more expensive cars thanks to its parent company BMW.
When ordering your new MINI Countryman, you simply pick from one of three petrol engines - One, Cooper and Cooper S, and one diesel (Cooper D) - followed by a trim level; Classic, Sport or Exclusive. It is available with manual and automatic transmissions and MINI's own ALL4 all-wheel drive.
If you'd like your MINI Countryman's credentials with a greener hue, there's now a plug-in hybrid electric variant, too.
A significant selling point for the MINI Countryman is how well it handles. Despite being fun to drive, there's no escaping the fact it's also mature with greater evidence of comfort and refinement than the previous iteration. It's not at all bad, just nicely different.
Whichever MINI Countryman lease deal you choose, at Leasing Options you'll be getting the best possible price thanks to our Price Match Promise. And, if you require any assistance, our friendly customer service team are always on hand to answer any questions you may have.

Rapid Dragon's first live fire test of a Palletized Weapon System deployed from a cargo aircraft destroys target
Published Dec. 16, 2021
By By Air Force Research Laboratory Public Affairs
EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, FLORIDA (AFRL) – The Air Force Rapid Dragon Program, a fast-paced experimentation campaign led by the Air Force Strategic Development Planning and Experimentation (SDPE) office, successfully completed its final flight test December 16 at the Eglin AFB Overwater Test Range.
The flight test capstoned a 2-year series and culminated in a live fire of a current inventory cruise missile armed with a live warhead. Rapid Dragon demonstrates the ability to employ weapons using standard airdrop procedures from cargo aircraft using the Rapid Dragon Palletized Weapon System.
The program name is derived from a thousand-year-old Chinese military designed crossbow catapult that launched multiple crossbow bolts with the pull of a single trigger, raining destruction down on armies from tremendous ranges. These lethal devices were called Ji Long Che—Rapid Dragon Carts. Today, the Rapid Dragon concept is changing the game again, this time as an airborne delivery system for U.S. Air Force weapons. And like its namesake, these palletized munitions promise to unleash mighty salvos en masse on distant adversaries.
During the December test, an MC-130J flown by an Air Force Special Operations Command operational flight crew, received new targeting data while in flight which was then routed to the cruise missile flight test vehicle (FTV). The aircraft agnostic Battle Management System's inflight receipt and upload of the new targeting data into the FTV was a first-time achievement with a live cruise missile.
Once inside the drop zone over the Gulf of Mexico, the MC-130J aircrew airdropped a four-cell Rapid Dragon deployment system containing the FTV and three mass simulants, which were sequentially released from the palletized deployment box while under parachute. Safe separation from the deployment box and weapon deconfliction was demonstrated using an unconventional deployment method (nose-down vertical orientation). Immediately after the vertical release, the FTV deployed its wings and tail, achieved aerodynamic control, ignited its engine, performed a powered pull-up maneuver, and proceeded toward its newly assigned target. The cruise missile successfully destroyed its target upon impact.
The next step for the Rapid Dragon Program will be a live-fire test with a cruise missile from a C-17 in Spring 2022, demonstrating the aircraft agnostic capabilities of the Palletized Weapon System. Of note, the new retargeting methodology developed by the Rapid Dragon team is designed to be transferrable to other strike and cargo platforms, potentially increasing the lethality of those aircraft. Lastly, a follow-on program will look at expanding the Rapid Dragon carriage portfolio to include additional weapon systems and multiple effects capabilities, as well as continuing the maturation of the system, taking it from a developmental prototype to an operational prototype over the next two years.
"This type of experimentation campaign, that address capability gaps and demonstrates transformative efforts, helps us shape future requirements and reduces timeline to fielding," said Maj. Gen. Heather Pringle, Air Force Research Laboratory commander, adding "This approach ultimately enables a rapid fielding alternative to traditional lengthy acquisition timelines."
In addition to SDPE and AFSOC, demonstration participants included the Naval Surface Warfare Center-Dahlgren; Standoff Munitions Application Center; Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control; Systima Technologies; Safran Electronics & Defense, Parachutes USA, and R4 Integration, Inc.
Agility and collaboration enabled this government/industry team to go from a design to a system level flight test in 10 months, followed by a live fire five months later. During those last five months, Rapid Dragon has conducted five system level flight tests using three different aircraft (MC-130J, EC-130SJ, and C-17A).
"Rapid Dragon is a prime example of a government/industry partnership that embraces this acceleration mindset, building a community of subject matter experts and executing an aggressive, but well-thought-out, experimentation campaign," said Dr. Dean Evans, SDPE's Rapid Dragon Program Manager. This sentiment was echoed by Aaron Klosterman, SDPE's Experimentation & Prototyping Division Chief when he said, "This accomplishment is a testament to what an agile U.S. Air Force and industry team can do when it is empowered to do business differently."
The successful Rapid Dragon experiments pave the way for U.S. and allied mobility platforms to dramatically increase fires available for a combatant commander to place more adversary targets at risk.
"Rapid Dragon was able to accelerate development by building a broad and strong team. We were committed to a 'test often/learn-fast' culture, dedicated to experimenting frequently and taking calculated risks. In addition to the MAJCOMs and Air Staff, the Rapid Dragon team included the Developmental Test (DT) and Operational Test (OT) communities, the aircraft and weapons Program Offices, and the mission planners. This collaboration from the onset streamlined the process and accelerated development, involving groups from the program inception that are not normally included at the very early stages, and that has made all the difference," Evans added.

Rangers news headlines as Ibrox hero gives Morelos Old Firm advice and Zungu's qualities outlined
Rangers have also been reacting to news that Steven Gerrard won't face any punishment from the SFA
Robert FairnieDigital Journalist

Here are your Rangers news headlines on the morning of Tuesday, October 13.
Laudrup's advice to Morelos
Rangers hero Brian Laudrup reckons his old club can exploit Celtic's back three in this weekend's Old Firm derby – and Alfredo Morelos will be key to their success.
He wrote in his Daily Mail column: "Alfredo Morelos v Shane Duffy is one that promises to be box-office material. A physical match-up taken to the limit.
"Morelos has a long trip back from international duty with Colombia but, if he starts, he will inevitably be the focus of a lot of attention.
"We all know his temper is an aspect he sometimes struggles to control, although we haven't seen as much of that this season.
"Duffy is an old-school centre back. He knows his tricks, without offending him. He is superb in the air both defensively and when attacking set-pieces - which he has already shown - but he lacks a bit of pace in certain area.
"If Morelos can drop deep and drag him out of position, there could be space to exploit in behind Celtic's back three. Ryan Kent has already shown he can do that.
"Scott Arfield is another whose late runs are very difficult to track. These are weapons that could hurt Celtic if their defenders are not at the very top of their concentration."

Zungu's key qualities pinpointed
Ex Rangers midfielder Dean Furman has been outlining the key qualities of his South Africa teammate Bongani Zungu.
In an interview with the Daily Record, he said: "I remember when he first came in as a young player and he very quickly caught my eye.
"He's big and physical so the Scottish Premiership shouldn't be a problem for him. Some of the opposition on the African continent are particularly big and he never struggled in that department.
"In fact, at the last Africa Cup of Nations he scored headers from set-pieces, so it shows he can handle himself.
"But he's also very good on the ball for a big guy, which initially impressed me.
"I've always played with him as a more attacking midfielder but he's adapted to become a little more defensive so that's another string to his bow."
He added: "I also came up against him when I moved to South Africa and played against Mamelodi Sundowns. He was scored a brilliant goal against us.
"He was more of an attacking, box-to-box midfielder, and playing for a team that was expected to win, produce trophies and play good football. That bodes well for coming to Rangers where there are similar expectations."

Rangers react to SFA Gerrard decision
Rangers have reacted to news that Steven Gerrard won't face any punishment from the SFA for comments he made in the wake of the win against Dundee United.
Gerrard was charged by the SFA compliance officer for what he had to say about a challenge on Alfredo Morelos during the match.
However during a disciplinary hearing on Monday they were unable to prove that the Ibrox boss had broken any rules.
In a statement Rangers said they "are unsurprised at the outcome of today's hearing but remain bemused that the charge was brought against our manager Steven Gerrard in the first place.
"We now look forward to focusing on more important matters on the field of play."

Research Interests: Modern religious thought, especially the intellectual history of Christianity; Continental philosophy of religion; feminist thought; environmental thought; secularism & the postsecular; death and the afterlife.
My research is concerned with the intellectual history of Christianity and the secular afterlives of theological concepts. I am interested in the erasures, endurances, and reinventions of the theological within secular frames of thought. And I am especially interested in how these traces of the theological have influenced the way we think about the natural world, other creatures, our mortal bodies, and the eventual destinies of all these things. My current book project, Creature Feeling: Political Theology and Animal Mortality examines the theological figure of creaturely life. While the term "creature" is often considered a cognate for the term "animal", I look at the way that political theology has also rendered the figure of creaturely life a sign of vulnerability and mortality. I examine the violent legacies in the political theology of creaturely life; how its vulnerabilities have often turned it into a sign of humiliation and a tool for exploitation. And I ask whether it's possible to distill a creature feeling - a gentler, more tender attention to our animal mortality - from creatureliness.

Broad City: The Rewatch, Part One
Posted on January 8, 2015 by Elyse
If you're anything like me, you fell in love with Broad City when it debuted on Comedy Central this past January (or you were lucky enough to know about it when it was a webseries on Youtube), and were devastated when the season was over after a mere 10 episodes. Luckily, the new year is here and with it comes the show's much anticipated second season. In preparation for this momentous occasion, I'm rewatching the first season, taking note of everything that made Broad City my favorite irreverent feminist comedy of the year. Come along with me on the first part of a wacky journey through the lives of two sometimes irresponsible, always entertaining NYC 20-somethings, Abbi and Ilana.
Happy dance (via Comedy Central Tumblr)
Episode 1, "What A Wonderful World," immediately shows the type of characters Abbi and Ilana are going to be. Abbi attaches a Post-it note to her vibrator that says "Tuesday 7am" and claims that her schedule is "pretty booked" because she has to finish watching the first season of a TV show while eating a cashew stir-fry. Meanwhile, Ilana engages in a Skype call in the middle of having sex with her friend Lincoln and asserts to him that their relationship is "purely physical." Ilana is the carefree wild child to Abbi's wannabe put-together adult and while their "odd couple" dynamic is nothing new to television, it manages to still ring true and feels all the more groundbreaking because they are women.
(via Notes from the Peanut Gallery)
When Ilana convinces Abbi to blow off work and spend the day attempting to scrounge up cash to attend a secret Lil Wayne concert that night, the two hatch the sort of schemes that respectable young women in sitcoms never do. They buy marijuana with an office store gift card obtained by returning stolen goods; they drum on buckets in Central Park with a fishbowl of change set in front of them; they put out a sketchy Craigslist ad and clean a man's apartment in their underwear for an hour. Ultimately, they fail at their goal, but as they sit on a stoop wearing furs and drinking liquor they took from the creepy man's apartment, they comfort one another saying how the concert would have been no fun anyway and tomorrow is really the day they're going to turn it all around. Not only have Abbi and Ilana's misadventures through the entire episode been unsavory and fruitless, but there is nothing to assure the viewer that things will get better for them, and it does not appear that either of them are really interested in trying (evidenced by Abbi's final nonchalant response of "What kind?" when a messily drunk and vomiting Ilana asks if she wants to come hang out and have pizza). And yet, we like them. The spell is cast.
(via mediaproject-broadcity.blogspot.com)
Episode 2, "Pu$$y Weed," expands just how unreliable and immature Abbi and Ilana are when it offers them both opportunities to act like "grown ass women." Abbi wants to pay for her own weed instead of relying on Ilana, and Ilana decides to file her taxes on her own. That both ladies fail at their goals is a given, but their failing so spectacularly is endearing. When Abbi buys her own weed, she smokes too much of it and acts out at the slightest provocations, while Ilana spends the entire episode schlepping around a wrinkled grocery bag full of financial papers, only to ultimately give up and unwittingly throw all her documents in the trash. In this episode we see a glimpse of Abbi's insecurities about her age, when she has an extreme reaction to a woman asking how many children she has, smoking to excess in the bathroom of a dentist's office and muttering "I am NOT a mom!" into the mirror. It is clear that while Abbi doesn't quite have her life together, she feels ashamed that she is not more of an "adult." Of the two girls, Abbi is clearly the "straight man," but "Pu$$y Weed" shows that she is just as capable of awkward antics as her foil Ilana.
(via Buzzfeed)
(via Bustle)
"Working Girls" explores the young women's work lives and compares how seriously (or not) they both take their responsibilities. Ilana's extreme dedication to doing as little work as possible – while still getting paid – is contrasted by Abbi's willingness to go above and beyond when it comes to retrieving a package for her attractive neighbor Jeremy. Once again, Abbi and Ilana are completely ineffective at accomplishing their goals, when Ilana makes every wrong decision at her temp job and Abbi never retrieves Jeremy's package, despite her best efforts. Both women, whether they're trying their best or not trying at all, ultimately end up back where they started. The series builds momentum and the audience identifies with Abbi's earnest desire to succeed in spite of her bad luck, while we are entertained by Ilana royally screwing up virtually every opportunity she is presented with and still managing to come out unscathed. The "slacker" who gets away with all transgressions and still manages to survive is usually reserved for men, so it's exciting to see the role inhabited so successfully by women.
(via grist.org)
In Episode 4, "The Lockout," Abbi and Ilana's friendship is put to the test when they again find themselves in a less-than-ideal situation. After bug-bombing Abbi's apartment, the ladies head to Ilana's for the weekend, only to find themselves without a key and bumming around the city until Abbi's "gallery showing" in the evening at a vegan sandwich shop. The menu of unladylike treatment our favorite gal pals are subjected to this episode included: getting thoroughly creeped out by a shady locksmith, being maced by Ilana's neighbors, mace-induced vomiting, trudging around NYC with several large bags and a closet rod from Abbi's favorite place, Bed Bath & Beyond, and having clean clothes ruined by Ilana's greed for the premium lotion at Soulstice, the gym where Abbi works. In the end, the two are still friends who continue to support each other even in the most dire and frustrating circumstances. It would be easy for Broad City to fall back on the old trope of women in constant competition with each other, often split apart by petty squabbles, but Abbi and Ilana are always there for one another.
(via tumblr)
Broad City's midseason episode, "Fattest Asses," is perhaps one of the most satisfying of the series. After watching the girls consistently lose, we finally get to see them cut loose and take charge. After a bad day at the gym, Abbi is ready to have some fun, and goes to a rooftop party with Ilana. We chuckle when the ladies reach for a second (and a third) fried mac and cheese ball, despite being told about starving children while shoving the snacks into their mouths; we cheer when Abbi, fed up with the line for the women's restroom, marches into the men's and kicks a stall door in, exclaiming "Not today!"; and we guffaw at the awkward attempt at casual sex with a pair of orgy-craving DJs that wraps up the episode.
This episode is also the first depiction of the ladies' casual sex lives (not including the Skype sex scene from the first episode). Women receiving oral sex is an act which, incredibly, remains infrequently explored in television and film, except when it is used to expressly portray a unique kind of relationship or connection between partners. In Broad City, however, it is simply an aspect of female sexuality. Of course, the girls' would-be one-night-stands turn out to be weird and Abbi and Ilana don't quite get their happy ending (yuk yuk yuk) but they went out and took a chance and mostly had a good time. We can see that they are not just losers who never catch a break and it's it fun and comforting to watch them stumble along the way to the successes that (for them) come few and far between. This incredibly relatable, human element is what is so endearing about Broad City. The fact that it's a pair of women who are single, Jewish and (at least in Ilana's case) mixed race and queer, allowed to be so human, is just icing on the cake.
As we prepare for the season 2 premier on January 14th, be sure to come back here next week for Part 2 of my rewatch of the first season!

EDIT January 2014: The attachment (that was downloaded 43 times!) has been removed from this posting, and the text where I described its features has also been removed.
My version is a rewrite from scratch of David Jamieson's original; it completely restructures the sequence of processing, and consequently reduces what coding is repeated after selecting a different category or making a change in displayed year. On my computer, this makes it amazingly quicker to redisplay the table after a new selection.
Also, do post a reply if you find this useful, and implement a version of it on your site.

I've tried to follow your instructions - I think you need to expand them a little, don't just put them in comments in the files. I'm almost a newbie and it took me a while to remember that dailysummaryT.html needed processing, via Cumulus - V 1.9.3 Build 1053.
Before that though I found that readDayfile.css wasn't being processed in dailysummaryT.html, I just had black text, it turned out to be syntax thing, I'm using FireFox 17.0.1 In FireBug it would not register as a script, once I fixed the syntax it loaded, in FF and IE, on WinXP and Win7.
I think I also had a syntax issue with readDayfileS-part_min.js in dailysummary.html I also found at least 2 references to the default daj folder not in the location mentioned in the documentation.
I did rename that file to readDayfiles.js just in case it was some sort of server side issue with hyphens or long names, no change.
I renamed dailysummary.html to daily.html, where I'm at so far is http://sassafras.id.au/projects/weather/daily.html The table does not display for me. I would like to be able to use the flexibility you describe in your notes.
As part of my testing/comparison process I loaded DAJs version at http://sassafras.id.au/projects/weather ... mmary.html I wanted to be certain I had my path naming correct etc, both sets of files are set up the same so far as I can tell, they also read off the same dayfile.txt All the files are in the same folder.
Oh, and I also tried using the older 1.5.1 ajax jscript that DAJ uses, no change.
Paul - Mooral Creek Weather at Sassafras.
There are a couple of gothchas in DAJ's original PHP script as it stands on the Wiki.
Have fixed those and included a couple of the features DAJ added via other posts. Have also increased the documentation in the script.
Have been waiting to find a way to post those into the Wiki which hopefully will be done in the next day or so (there are issues getting .zip files installed on the Wiki which is being resolved).
You can see the result here http://silveracorn.co.nz/weather/datasummary.php (Note:- this is not the same script as the 'Annual Data' menu item on the website).
Sorry but my website is PHP and accordingly I'm not familiar with js and so am not prepared to offer an updated js version.
Further, I am not sure the core PHP issues addressed in this update would arise in the js version.
http://sassafras.id.au/ A very impressive site.

I found in other postings that I have done, that readers on this forum can be critical, can be more expert than me and can be fairly ignorant.
I speak for me, and in general silent, but read as much stuff as I can, which includes your writings. I'm sure I speak for many by saying your efforts are more than appreciated! Basically I'm a novice, but at some point, your expertise will help me to develop my site. Keep up the excellent work - I am extremely grateful to you and all others who impart their knowledge via this forum.

Thank you, you have obviously seen the range of responses I have received.
I started learning about web design because I thought it would be good brain exercise and something that I could do when I had to curb my outdoor practical activities. It has not been as easy as I expected because of all the different browser dependencies and then web pages can be viewed on different devices.

EDIT - removed 'daily.html' that was previously attached here, as I have made further modifications since the original posting.
I'm using the same version of Firefox as you.
When Firefox version 11 introduced the web console (in tools menu or right click), I found I seldom needed to use Firebug, although I still have it available. I use several browsers, but the Error Console in Firefox gives (plain English) messages that are much easier to understand than the (technical worded) equivalent in other browsers. You may find that useful especially if you start editing script files.
I did try using 'Kompozer' (you mention you use this) for creating HTML, but I found it gave me problems when I edited HTML, hence I used HTML-kit 292 to edit your 'daily.html' with a little help from Notepad reading your 'today.htm'.
Ok, I hope you can upload this HTML to your site and see the table being displayed.
I suggest you then edit the HTML until you get the headings and look that suits you - the rest of your site looks good so that should be easy for you.
Then, edit the main array in the script file so you see the headings there that suit you.
That should move you on quite a bit!
You might want to experiment with some small changes to your other weather web pages, following hints elsewhere on the forum - for example <#metdate> (with date/time formatting - see Wiki for web tag details) is quite useful on the 'today' and 'thismonth' web pages to indicate the rollover status (before/after local 9am). Also see http://sandaysoft.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... terday+tag.

Thanks for going through everything sfws. It now works, thankyou.
The most enlightening of your comments was the difference between the file system views in server side and browser based processing. Undoubtedly that was the problem. I also appreciate the far greater documentation, much better for someone like myself, 14 years in IT, on the systems management side, if I wanted code written I had a chat to programmer. Of course I wrote the more basic scripts, time to learn a bit more.
Yes I had noticed very early on in using kompozer that it corrupts some script files, and I noticed it again in the first few hours I was playing around with the Cumulus web files. I still prefer to use it because I want to use a wysiwyg, low cost, simple, and yes you can't beat writing code. I do use gedit for script edits as required, and I do try to use css throughout the rest of sassafras.
The reason the dayfile.txt was not updating is I had disconnected the internet here, we went down to Melbourne for a week and the forecast was for a few days of thunderstorms here. Better safe than sorry. When we got back it seems the power went off for a while on the laptop, no UPS yet and the base station was plugged in with a faulty power cable to boot, almost dead flat batteries there too.
I'll have more of a play with it over the next day or so, thanks again.

Looks good on your site.
For the pressure criterion the '(lighter background)' should be associated with 'maximum' with the colour scheme I provided - compare captions for RH and all the two value temperature criterions with your editing of the pressure one.
I have even had a peep at your species lists - lots of work typing that lot in! I know a little about some UK species, but am mostly content to admire it without identification or study.
passafras wrote: difference between the file system views in server side and browser based processing. Undoubtedly that was the problem.
Yes the browser views of the file system are the subject of many discussions elsewhere on this forum, that together with book reading helped me when I started experimenting a year ago. For ease of maintenance, I created separate folders for Cumulus templates, processed HTML, CSS and ECMA/Java Script, but that causes problems when you do not use web space and try to do things locally. So I am now using a single test folder with anything I am using/working on. I archive into the multiple folder structure trying to remember to change the file references!

Just a cross-reference here, that the Wiki article http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/AnnualDataSummary has been amended today in the spirit of being more helpful after seeing all references in this 3rd party tools forum to the Annual Summary.
The change is actually a few minor edits (and I've added my signoff to my contributions), but the Wiki reports it as a big edit as I've corrected some spelling and introduced some consistency in styles.

I now have proof that my routine copes with pre-rollover in the new year correctly and with local time variations.
See http://sandaysoft.com/forum/posting.php ... =18&t=6640for full report.

I'd like to use this but it's so massive on my webpage you'll need a week's holiday just to scroll through it.
I've been trying to edit the css but had no luck. I've looked at the Wiki help page and it lists items to change that don't even exist in the css.
defines the width of the entire table and the starting font size. If you change '100em' to '60%' then the table will be reduced to 60 per cent of the available width. You probably want to reduce the '9pt' to '5pt' to bring the font down in proportion.
is the relevant style declaration.
Experiment with changing the table cell size (65em) to something smaller, the fonts used in the table cells are expressed in percentages anyway, so will reduce in proportion.
This is what I see on my screen with the changes so far.

text:
Q: Transfinite Numbers in Set Theory Since my school doesn't teach higher-level things like set theory or transfinite numbers, I have been learning on my own. There are large gaps in my knowledge of higher-level math because of this.
Where would transfinite numbers fit in this sequence?
$$\mathbb S \supseteq \mathbb O \supseteq \mathbb H \supseteq \mathbb C \supseteq  \mathbb R \supseteq \mathbb Q \supseteq \mathbb Z \supseteq \mathbb N$$
or alternatively:
Sedenions $\supseteq$ Octonions $\supseteq$ Quaternions $\supseteq$ Complex numbers $\supseteq$ Real numbers $\supseteq$ Rational numbers $\supseteq$ Integers $\supseteq$ Natural numbers.
(I know I'm not including irrational numbers, but you get the point).

A: They would fit nowhere. In fact, the "transfinite numbers", more commonly called ordinals, extend the natural numbers, but do not contain the negative integers. So, the closes thing we can say is that
$$
\mathbb S \supseteq \mathbb O \supseteq \mathbb H \supseteq \mathbb C \supseteq  \mathbb R \supseteq \mathbb Q \supseteq \mathbb Z \supseteq \mathbb N \subseteq \mathsf{On},
$$
which doesn't help you much.
In fact, the ordinals are a totally different way of extending numbers than the extensions you've given. The extensions you've given are all about having different algebraic properties; the naturals you start with, the integers solve all equations of the form $a + x = b$, the rationals all equations of the form $a\cdot x = b$, the reals complete the rationals (which gives you calculus), the complex numbers add solutions to $x^2 = -1$, and the final ones are all interesting because they extend the complex numbers in such a way that they are "finite-dimensional complex algebras" (you'll learn eventually what this means) where multiplication acts relatively nicely. By contract, the ordinals are an extension that have to do with ways of "well-ordering" sets.
If you want something in the middle, there is the field of surreal numbers -- it extends both $\mathbb R$ and $\mathsf{On}$ at the same time, and it is a very interesting object. It is in some sense the "largest field" that is still linearly ordered -- that is, either $a < b$ or $a = b$ or $a > b$. (Note that that already doesn't make sense for the complex numbers.)

A: Both the ordinal numbers and the cardinal numbers extend the natural numbers, but in a different direction than the integers, and therefore cannot be inserted into this sequence.
The ordinal and cardinal numbers add numbers that are larger than any natural numbers. In contrast, the integers add numbers smaller than all natural numbers. The rational numbers and real numbers add something in between the integers. And the complex numbers, octonions and sedenions add numbers in directions orthogonal to the real numbers.

Q: A Question on Lebesgue Decomposition How can I show that the Lebesgue measure has no Lebesgue decomposition with respect to the counting measure? I know how to show that reverse is true, but just can't figure out how to show this direction.

A: The Lebesgue measure has a Lebesgue decomposition with respect to the counting measure. It is just $m = m + 0$, the zero measure is singular with respect to all measures, and $m \ll |\cdot|$, since if the counting measure is zero, the set must be empty.
Suppose $|\cdot| = \nu_0+\nu_1$, where $\nu_0 \ll m$, and $\nu_1 \bot m$.
If $\nu_1 \bot m$, then $\nu_1$ must be supported on a set of $m$ measure zero. Let $N$ be this set. Now choose $x \notin N$. Then $|\{x\}| = 1$, $m \{x\} = 0$ (and hence $\nu_0 \{x\} = 0$) and $\nu_1 \{x\} = 0$ (since $x \notin N$), which is a contradiction. Hence the counting measure does not have a Lebesgue decomposition with respect to the Lebesgue measure.


Expectations are a fickle thing.
I've written about them before and I talk about them all the time, usually as a way to keep mine in check. Or at least try to.
See the thing about expectations is that they can make or break you to say the least (clearly I'll say more than the least like I always do) and that's the part you get to decide. And even as I type that out I know that it's not that easy.
Life isn't what I expected it would be right now and this post will more or less be a giant, yet hopefully relatable with maybe a hidden lesson of sorts, rant.
I am not good at keeping friends.
I always joke with new friends I have a three year expiry date and they call me crazy and we laugh and yet three years later, they're gone. Or I'm gone, depending on the way you look at it.
You watch movies where you stay best friends with the same people from kindergarten allll the way to marriage and while that does happen (I'm looking at you Jess and Carly, keep it going!) it's not realistic. You move schools and cities multiple times and next thing you know you're always texting "let's meet up over break!" and then break comes and it doesn't happen. Okay well maybe it is if you're good at keeping in touch, but I'm not.
What I'm trying to say is not every friendship you have is going to be straight out of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (amazing book, good movie) and that's okay! I'm lucky enough that most of my friends live in the city, save for a fave of mine who happens to live in Ottawa (which I will be visiting this summer!) but it isn't always that way.
Friendships take effort on both parts too and I think that's another thing Hollywood forgets sometimes. That's one thing I'm guilty of, on both sides of the scale. I can be very stubborn and if one small thing happens, I can pull away and slam walls down very quickly. I'm not good at saying sorry and I'm certainly not a fan of chasing after people.
But then again a 'friend' once told me I have a spine like a jellyfish and I'm too nice to people, which I know isn't always a bad thing but it can be. It's tricky to pull back from a friendship but if you're able to see they're walking all over you then it's time to have a firm chat.
Life happens, but hold on to those people that make life good. That was so cheesy, I'm sorry.
We all know now that I base what my love life should look like on movies, and I've been trying to ease up on that but my goodness it's tricky! And Me Before You is out and I must see it so you better believe it's going to get harder!
In my head, my first kiss was supposed to happen in high school. With my crush, on prom night or something equally dramatic. Instead it happened when I was 19, at a bar on Halloween with a guy dressed like Batman. Wicked story, but it wasn't what I had imagined it would be.
Really, I'm 24 and still waiting for a magical "first" kiss, call me crazy.
Expectations and dating are in a long-term relationship in my books. I always try to keep mine in check but I'm usually not very good at it.
This is truly the only area I've learned to deal with them a bit, and it's as easy as making sure Adele isn't playing too often and maybe not watching a seventh episode of Say Yes to the Dress.
The most important thing I've learned is that you can't play the compare game! At all! I need to write this on my fridge so I see this all the time.
You can't take your relationship and put it up against your friends who have been dating for such a time, both in a good or bad comparison. They are not you and what they're doing is going to be completely different from anything you do.
On the other hand, and this might be harder to do, you can't compare your current man (girl, woman, boy, whomever) to a past one. I learned this the hard way, after too much wine and access to my phone. It's not how it works. And it will be tempting, I'm sure it's some sort of automatic response (at least that's what I'm going with) but from what I've seen, it only does bad.
It's basically like you have to look at every relationship as a stand alone book series. I know this sounds weird, stick with me. Sure there might be books that are knock-offs, maybe a bad movie that went straight to Netflix too, but your book is your book, and nothing else is, or will ever be, the same.
This is what sparked this post.
I finished college, moved downtown Toronto and was all set to begin working in an industry I love.
What I didn't account for was the jobs I had lined up falling through and causing me to be in frantic job search seven days a week.
Promising interviews have turned up nothing and I've started second-guessing everything on my resume. And, since you're probably thinking I'm being a tad dramatic. I even applied to a store I've worked at for several years and still didn't get it.
I'm not saying I expected to walk out of school and straight into a career, but that is what I thought would slightly happen because I had arrangements before hand. Note to self: get everything in writing so you can't be screwed over in the future, or at least not as much.
I still enjoy living on my own but I call home at least twice a day. Mostly because I'm horrible at cooking but also because some days I don't talk to anyone and that gets lonely. Texting isn't the same as hearing voices, and strangely enough my friends are not fond of phone calls. (It also has hardly hit me that I don't live at home anymore so I don't quite feel grown-up and am in partial denial of how not-so-good it's lookin' these days.) And I will admit I'm excited for my sister to join me in the fall, even though I will probably regret saying this after a month or so of her being here.
What movies and books fail to show is that while growing up happens too quickly, sorting out your life as you grow up can take quite a bit longer.
By the way, I wrote this bit while listening to this song. Instant tears, I assure you.
Apparently the key to happiness is to keep expectations low because then you're always pleasantly surprised. I haven't fact-checked this but it does make sense to me except when it comes to yourself. And this might be the very reasoning my sister is always on my case about having my head in the clouds and giving me trouble.
I think of all the things in your life you should set high expectations for who you're going to be and what you're going to do.
I'm not talking crazy things, like when I decide I need to lose 20 lbs in a few months but at the same time don't go to the gym and eat a lot of pizza. but achievable expectations! Just for you, because maybe someone reading this thinks 20 lbs is easy peasy but remember, no compare game.
That whole thing about you being your own soulmate? I dig it. You're the only one there for yourself, gotta love yourself first before others, all that jazz. And if you're going to fall head over heels in love with yourself well then you have to do things that make you happy and swoon a little.
I compare myself, slightly and I'm not on the same level, to one fictional character: Carrie Bradshaw. But, in a strange plot twist of events, I'm at least realistic about it.
I know I will never have a gorgeous flat in NYC (Toronto will do), jet off to Paris with an older admirer (well, maybe) or buy a pair of Manolo Blahniks.
But I can let her inspire my style, lust after my own Mr. Big (the good qualities only) and want nothing more than to be a writer.
Another secret I'll let you in on, and I've yet to master it, is to not let people know every success or every failure. I know this sounds strange, and I like to keep it real, but it's nice to keep somethings to yourself a few close friends instead of the whole world being there at all times. I'm also not against shouting victories and whispering failures, but that's all up to you.
See if you told everyone your hopes and dreams at every turn, you do feel pressure to accomplish it all STAT. You might be good with pressure, but I am very much not. I crack, no diamonds forming anytime soon.
It's all about the balance, which also if you must know, I terribly lack.
If there was a lesson in there I'm not even sure I grabbed onto it.
But I do have a little bit of advice, if you've read this far that is.
Put your expectations in what you can control and don't just expect things but work for them too.
How wise does that sound? Fluke, I swear.

Q: CefSharp: EvaluateScriptAsync hanging? I am visting the Twitter profile page and I am trying to detect if the logged in user has followed the profile they're viewing, can someone tell me why the Followed() method is hanging and not returning anything? I've waited up to 10 minutes for it to return something but it hasn't?
I can't imagine a situation where it would take 10 minutes to process so something must be stopping it from returning something, can anyone help?
private bool Followed()
{
    JavascriptResponse js = EvaluateScript("document.getElementsByClassName('ProfileNav-item--userActions')[0].children[0].children[0].className");
    return !js.Result.ToString().Contains("not-following");
}

JavascriptResponse EvaluateScript(string script)
{
    var task = _browser.EvaluateScriptAsync(script);
    task.Wait();
    return task.Result;
}

I think js.Result or js may possibly be null, but why would it be? That's the real question here.


There is magic and tragedy in every ordinary life, sometimes just around the corner. Try as we might, though, we can never tell which is coming. The thirteen short stories in Breaking and Entering explore what happens after. After a chance encounter, long forgotten choice or simple mistake breaks the barriers or bonds that either hold people together or keep them apart. Sometimes the results are good, sometimes they are not. But they are always life-changing.

Fault Creep and Microseismicity on the Hayward Fault, California: Implications for Asperity Size

The Hayward fault is documented to undergo significant creep, with some patches accommodating 50% or more of the long‐term fault displacement. In spite of this, the fault has also experienced moderate to large earthquakes. By comparing the patterns of microseismicity observed on the fault with models of fault zone creep, we can investigate the long‐term displacement/deformation history of the fault in terms of the relative roles of aseismic creep, fault slip accommodated through microseismicity, and strain accumulation (slip deficit). We find that microseismicity on the Hayward fault produces a negligible percentage of the seismic moment dissipated on the fault. Combining seismicity with our fault creep models allows us to calculate the size of asperities on the creeping fault. For small asperities associated with repeating earthquakes on the Hayward fault, the rupture areas of these asperities range from 20 to 60 m2.

Podplukovník generálního štábu Čestmír Jelínek (19. září 1902 Košíře – 19. srpna 1942 Věznice Plötzensee) byl důstojník československé armády a odbojář z období druhé světové války popravený nacisty.

Život
Čestmír Jelínek se narodil 19. září 1902 v dnešní pražské čtvrti Košířích v rodině krejčího Maxmiliána Jelínka a Marie rozené Hrdinové. Od roku 1916 studoval na české reálce v Plzni, kde v roce 1922 maturoval. Následovalo studium na Vojenské akademii v Hranicích odkud byl v roce 1924 vyřazen jako poručík dělostřelectva. Sloužil u dělostřeleckých pluků, do roku 1925 v Olomouci, do roku 1933 v Brně. Mezi lety 1933 a 1936 studoval na Vysoké škole válečné v Praze, poté se vrátil do Brna, kde sloužil v různých funkcích. Po německé okupaci v březnu 1939 prováděl likvidaci bývalého III. sboru, od září 1939 pracoval u zeměměřičského úřadu v Brně. Byl členem Sokola.

Protinacistický odboj
Již od března 1939 se Čestmír Jelínek zapojil do budování Obrany národa, zabýval se zpravodajskou činností, ukrývání zbraní a přípravou sabotáží. Kvůli různým názorům na vedení odboje se postupně vyhrotily vztahy mezi ním a Františkem Šmídem a na základě právě jeho výpovědi byl 20. listopadu 1939 zatčen gestapem. Vězněn byl na Špilberku, Sušilových a Kounicových kolejích a brutálně vyslýchán. Podle svědectví se neúspěšně pokusil o sebevraždu. Následovalo věznění v Breslau a berlínské věznici Alt-Moabit. Ve dnech 26. a 27. listopadu 1941 byl lidovým soudem odsouzen k trestu smrti, poté přesunut do věznice Plötzensee a 19. srpna 1942 společně s dalšími brněnskými exponenty Obrany národa popraven gilotinou.

Posmrtná ocenění
 V roce 1945 obdržel Čestmír Jelínek in memoriam Československý válečný kříž 1939
 Čestmír Jelínek obdržel in memoriam Řád Milana Rastislava Štefánika
 V roce 1946 byl Čestmír Jelínek in memoriam povýšen do hodnosti podplukovníka generálního štábu
 V roce 1946 byla po Čestmíru Jelínkovi pojmenována ulice v brněnských Žabovřeskách

Rodina
Čestmír Jelínek se v roce 1931 oženil s Marií Hrejsemnou, v roce 1937 se manželům narodila dcera Milada.

Impact of weight loss on serum leptin in obese postmenopausal women
Zaida R. Cordero-MacIntyre, Shiva Metghalchi, Jason Rosen, Warren Peters, Timothy G Lohman, Maria Luz Fernandez
A 6-month weight loss program consisting of energy restriction (1,200 kcal) in combination with phentermine hydrocholoride (Fastin) treatment evaluated changes in plasma leptin, insulin, and glucose concentrations in 39 obese post-menopausal women (body mass index 30-38 kg/m2). Values for these parameters were correlated with plasma lipids concentrations and body composition measurements previously reported for this population. Over 6 months, participants had a 9% weight loss (P < 0.001) and a 9% reduction in body mass index (P < 0.001) compared to baseline with a 20% reduction in total fat mass and 25.8% in trunk fat (P < 0.001). Plasma leptin levels were reduced by 27% (P < 0.001) at 3 months and by 32% (P < 0.001) at 6 months. In contrast, plasma glucose and insulin levels did not change over time. Significant positive correlations tions were found between changes in plasma leptin and changes in LDL cholesterol (r = 0.366), weight (r = 0.570) and trunk fat (r = 0.362) over 6 months indicating that reductions in leptin are associated with improved parameters in plasma lipids and body composition.

Q: Change default hash function for block hashing i'm very new with HF and i'm supposed to study this platform for a university project. The first thing assigned is to understand Fabric sources, in particular find where the block creation is done and in which way may be possible to change the default hash function used for blocks creation.
I'v found some files in which may be the interested part, but i'm new with the platform and i really don't know where to get such information.
I've found this:

*

*https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric/blob/release-1.2/common/ledger/blockledger/util.go
CreateNewBlock function

*https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric/blob/release-1.2/protos/common/block.go
Any help? Thank you.

A: According to the document, currently SHA256 is the only one valid algorithm. And it was hardcoded some places.
However, you can do some experiments, bellow are some configuration places you may want to investigate -
The BCCSP configuration for both peer and orderer nodes, and the channel configuration Hashing Algorithm part.
BCCSP configures the blockchain crypto service providers.
BCCSP:
    # Default specifies the preferred blockchain crypto service provider
    # to use. If the preferred provider is not available, the software
    # based provider ("SW") will be used.
    # Valid providers are:
    #  - SW: a software based crypto provider
    #  - PKCS11: a CA hardware security module crypto provider.
    Default: SW

    # SW configures the software based blockchain crypto provider.
    SW:
        # TODO: The default Hash and Security level needs refactoring to be
        # fully configurable. Changing these defaults requires coordination
        # SHA2 is hardcoded in several places, not only BCCSP
        Hash: SHA2
        Security: 256
        # Location of key store. If this is unset, a location will be
        # chosen using: 'LocalMSPDir'/keystore
        FileKeyStore:
            KeyStore:

A: I found the solution.
It IS POSSIBLE to do so, it can be done by replacing hashing function in
protos/common/block.go

file, as i said in my post ;)
