We live on a boat and Caden's WiiU and gamepad got wet during a nasty squall in St Augustine. Both the WiiU power brick and gamepad were non functioning afterwards. We bought a new power brick which brought the WiiU back to life, but the gamepad was still down on it's luck. The screen kept scrolling to the right, and a lot of the buttons wouldn't work.
Caden was able to follow the repair guides and easily disassemble the gamepad. I instructed him on how to clean the contacts with isopropyl alcohol. Caden did a lot of troubleshooting to make sure everything on his gamepad was working by repeatedly having to disassemble, clean contacts, re-assemble and test. A few times he would miss a step and not assemble the gamepad correctly, such as not connecting a cable forcing him to check over his work. Eventually he cleaned and assembled everything to where it was working again. The only function not salvageable by cleaning was the ZR button on the gamepad, which we ultimately had to order a replacement flex cable.
The repair guides were put together very well and Caden was able to follow the instructions easily. The only advice I gave him was on cleaning the contacts and to be extra careful when inserting the flat ribbon cables into their connections. I tried to stay out of his way and let him make mistakes on his own. He's very proud of himself for being able to fix his WiiU and get back to playing his new favorite game Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It was a great self confidence booster! Bonus picture of the working gamepad+cat!

'Child's Play' franchise creator, producer team up for Chucky SyFy show
"We're friends 'til the end, remember?"
Everyone's favorite demonic doll, Chucky is headed to a small screen near you. That's right, the Child's Play character is getting his own television show on Syfy.
Last year, Chucky's first movie Child's Play received its own reboot. The franchise has experienced a series of do-overs since its original debut in 1988. However, unlike previous Child's Play films, Chucky was not a haunted serial killer doll but instead an artificial intelligence that's conceited into his character.

Now, according to Deadline, the doll is getting it's own show simply titled Chucky.
Chucky creator Don Mancini and producers David Kirschner and Nick Antosca will I be the brains behind the series.
"The character Don and David created has terrified audiences for over 30 years. The longevity and legacy of Chucky speaks to the creative storytelling and the loyal fans the film series has collected over the years," says Entertainment Networks President, Chris McCumber. "We are excited to once again partner with Nick and UCP on this new Syfy series, and are incredibly proud to bring Chucky to television for the first time with the original creators."
The show has been in the works for over a year, and Mancini says it's something he was excited to do. He will also be directing the first episode of the series.
"I've long wanted to bring Chucky to television and Syfy is the perfect network for us," he states. "The show will be a fresh take on the franchise, allowing us to explore Chucky's character with a depth that is uniquely afforded by the television series format, while staying true to the original vision that has terrorized audiences for over three decades now."
In the new series, a vintage Chucky doll is discovered at a yard sale. His town is soon turned upside down as various murders expose it's citizens' secrets.
Other characters from the franchise are supposed to make appearances, but those names have not been revealed.
The series will also tell the origin story of Chucky and how he became so evil.

Iran is home to one of the world's oldest civilizations, beginning with the formation of the Elamite kingdom in 2800 BCE. The Iranian Medes unified Iran into the first of a series of empires in 625 BCE, after which it became the dominant cultural and political power in the region. Cyrus the Great founded the Achaemenid Empire in 550 BCE, which at its greatest extent comprised major portions of the ancient world, stretching from the Indus Valley in the east, to Thrace and Macedon on the northeastern border of Greece, making it the largest empire the world had yet seen. Following its collapse from the conquests of Alexander the Great in 330 BCE, Iran once again became a great power under the Sasanian dynasty, exerting influence well beyond its borders.
In 633 CE, Arab Muslim armies invaded Iran and conquered the region by 651 CE. Iran would thereafter become a vital contributor to the subsequent Islamic Golden Age, producing many important scientists, scholars, artists, and thinkers. The emergence in 1501 of the Safavid dynasty, which promoted Twelver Shia Islam as the official religion, marked one of the most important turning points in Iranian and Muslim history. The Persian Constitutional Revolution of 1906 established the nation's first parliament, which operated within a constitutional monarchy. Following a coup d'état instigated by the UK and the US in 1953, Iran gradually became a more autocratic country. Growing dissent against foreign influence and political repression culminated in the Iranian Revolution, which led to the establishment of an Islamic republic on 1 April 1979.
Iran is a founding member of the UN, NAM, OIC and OPEC. Its unique political system, based on the 1979 constitution, combines elements of a parliamentary democracy with a religious theocracy run by the country's clergy, wherein the highest state authority is the Supreme Leader. A multicultural nation comprising numerous ethnic and linguistic groups, Shia Islam is the official religion and Persian is the official language.

Newport Beach Handyman Installs LED Exterior Light Fixtures and Leviton Occupancy Sensor Infrared Wall Switch for Energy Savings. All In 1 Handyman, providing energy efficient lighting for Mission Viejo and Irvine homeowners, explains how homeowners can go green and save energy with lighting.Conserving energy resources allows homeowners to enjoy cleaner air and a healthier environment. According to Energy Star, Americans saved more than $19 billion and avoided greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those of 29 million cars through choices they made with energy-saving measures in one year alone."We've definitely seen an increased interest in making homes more energy efficient," says Steve Bowman, owner of All in 1 Handyman. "One easy way homeowners are going green and saving energy is by using energy efficient lighting products such as LED lighting. Substantial savings are possible whether building a new home, renovating an existing one, or simply updating features to improve a home's efficiency."All In 1 Handyman is happy to help homeowners take the newest step forward in providing energy efficient lighting in homes: integrated LED light fixtures. For example, a homeowner in Mission Viejo had replaced his kitchen lighting with LED light bulbs and wanted to switch his outdoor lighting as well. All In 1 Handyman installed three new exterior light fixtures with LED light bulbs. LED lighting has become so reliable, efficient, and long lasting that for many applications, the concept of changing burned out light bulbs is becoming obsolete. In fact, LED light fixtures consume up to 85% less energy than standard lighting over the course of their long lives, while providing just as much brightness and versatility.Another way to save energy and money with lighting is occupancy sensors. All In 1 Handyman was recently contacted by a homeowner in Irvine who needed home repairs and lighting installed. "A lot of new construction here in Irvine comes with infrared wall switches that monitor a room for occupancy, but not every room has one," explains Steve Bowman, owner of All In 1 Handyman. "The device automatically turns lights on when a person enters a room and off when they leave. This saves energy, provides convenience, and lowers electric bills. I installed two Leviton occupancy sensor infrared wall switches in the pantry, where someone may leave the light on after snacking, and the laundry room where homeowners often have their arms full of laundry or forget to turn the light off."The occupancy sensor is ideal for any room that would benefit from automatic hands-free light control, such as bathrooms, closets, laundry rooms, basements, pantries, and garages. The high tech switches have a secret spot on the front that adjusts the sensitivity of the infrared sensor and a setting to determine how long the light will stay on after a person leaves. In this case, the homeowner wanted the newly installed sensors set for five minutes for optimum energy savings. All In 1 Handyman was also able to readjust the sensors in the three bathrooms for five minutes as the client requested. Thanks to their help, the homeowner was able to complete all their home improvements just in time for the arrival of twins.
Newport Handyman Helps Irvine Homeowner Transform Unused Space into Elegant Residential Wine Cellar Irvine, CA – For the avid wine enthusiast, nothing matches the luxury and elegance of a custom built, in-home wine cellar. Many wine lovers are indulging their passion by taking their wine-tasting or collecting hobby to the next level and constructing wine cellars inside their own homes. A wine cellar can become a fun place for entertaining friends, not to mention an ideal place to control wine storage temperatures and conditions."Wine cellars represent a great new option for home owners," says Steve Bowman, a general contractor and owner of All in 1 Handyman. "Sunrooms and home theaters used to be the latest trend, but residential wine cellars are certainly growing in popularity. It's a wonderful way to add elegance, functionality, and value to a home."Increasingly, homeowners are making use of a basement, closet, empty room, or unused space in a home to create an environment where they can display their love of wine. Such was the case with a client in Irvine who contacted All in 1 Handyman.The homeowner wanted to divide a room partially used for heating, AC, and a water tank and use the other half as an in-home wine cellar. After removing some old closet doors and sheet rock, All in 1 Handyman framed out a ten-foot long wall with a doorway and added insulation to the ceiling and walls. Can lights along with a pendant light and dimmer switches, Venetian plaster, laminated wood flooring, and a custom stained door to match the wine racks and flooring were installed to allow the homeowner and guests to immerse themselves in the aura and atmosphere of a charming wine cellar. If that weren't enough, cable was run into the room for a 32-inch flat screen TV so the homeowners could sip their wine and gaze at gorgeous pictures of Italy and the Napa Valley. "We're very proud of the newly completed custom wine cellar," says Steve. "The project went smoothly, was completed on time and on budget. It's a great example of how we can transform a small unused space into a room that allows wine lovers to enjoy their passion." What better way to ring in the New Year? With 15 years of experience, All in 1 Handyman Services has the knowledge, expertise, and craftsmanship to design and build a wine cellar, perfectly suited to a client's desires, personal taste, and budget. This unique company specializes in translating client's dreams into exceptional designs and can help with kitchen and bathroom remodels, flooring, cabinets, carpentry work, and much more.
Newport Beach Handyman Shares Creative Ways Homeowners Can Use Recycled Materials When Remodeling Irvine, CA – For those homeowners who don't want to settle for the ordinary, one of the hottest trends right now is remodeling with recycle or salvaged materials such as reclaimed wood. Homeowners not only have a one-of-a-kind signature look different than the cookie cutter fixtures and accessories found in chain stores but also save money and help the environment. "Companies are popping up today selling old reclaimed wood with years of weathering and turning the material into something beautiful like picture frames, park benches, fences, planter boxes and yes even doors for master bathrooms," says Steve Bowman, owner of All in 1 Handyman Services. "Recently a client from Irvine found a website describing step-by-step how to build a sliding barn door. We were asked to install the custom built door with barn door hardware in their master bedroom. The door installation provided an incredible finishing touch on the master bedroom remodel." If homeowners think outside the box, many salvaged items can be reused in the home. For example, old wooden lockers from a warehouse can be turned into upper cabinets or discarded flower pots can be used as pendant lights adapted to a track light system. Old fireplace mantles, vintage light fixtures, faucets, or metal ceiling tiles can all be installed for a unique look. Some of the older products are actually better quality as well. The creative and artistic homeowner can even turn recycled materials into works of art or art installation in their homes. Where can recycle materials and products be found? Homeowners may be surprised at all the resources available. Aside from salvage stores and companies that sell reusable home products, check out antique stores, auctions, garage sales, flea markets, Craigslist, and demolition companies. Dilapidated barns are often a good source for wood that can be used in flooring, and wall or ceiling treatments. Steve enjoys helping homeowners and interior designers execute their vision by providing installation of recycled materials, art installation, or window treatments. He can restore, replace, or repair anything. His wide range of handyman services includes remodeling, painting, finish carpentry work, gates, fences, dry wall, flooring, electrical work, plumbing, window installation, concrete work, deck staining, and much more.

With the new year around the corner and nine months before the start of the Golden Globe Race 2022, the skippers and organizers are keeping busy. While most boats get in the shed for their winter refit, some sailors prefer to spend time on the water.

Also known as Captain Coconut, Mark, a former royal Australian Navy commander and an Ocean hydrographic surveyor, was a competitor in the 2018 GGR, doing well until barnacles and a diminishing water supply forced him to stop at his home port of Adelaide.
Exactly three years after stopping in Adelaide, Sinclair will set of to complete his voyage, under the 2018 GGR Notice of Race he could continue the race in Chichester Class, aiming to become the 6th finisher of the 2018 Golden Globe Race.
"I have unfinished business with the GGR and several reasons to complete my voyage. I sailed the easy part of the course and want to have a go at the second one. It is an interesting route: one week to Tasmania, another week to New Zealand, before another 2 months to Cape Horn." Mark told us from his home port of Adelaide. "All sailors who finished the 2018 GGR had been around the world at least once, so this is a great preparation for the 2022 edition, rounding the Horn and bringing the boat back to Les Sables d'Olonne!"

GGR Founder and Chairman Don McIntyre is halfway through his 3000 nm Trans-Atlantic crossing with his 5.80 meters boat Trekka.
Don, who originally planned to sail in the Golden Globe Race 2018 but then had to withdraw, focus on running the event instead, now been getting plenty of sailing since leaving Lagos in November. "I'm delighted to be back at sea!" McIntyre told us from his boat Trekka, "Give me wind I go fast, give me blue I go happy, give me warm I go naked, give me Trekka I go to Antigua." One happy sailor for sure!
Meanwhile, the Austrian skipper Michael Guggenberger just finished his 2000 nautical miles qualifier started from Les Sables d'Olonne on his ketch-rigged Biscay 36 Nina.
Leaving Les Sables d'Olonne on the 6th of November, Michael crossed the Bay of Biscay down to the Canary Islands (Spain), non-stop, returning to Lagos to complete his qualifier with sailing total 2480 nautical miles.

"I am very pleased with this qualifier. This is my longest solo sail to date and the longest with my Biscay 36. I have learned a lot about myself and the boat." Said by Guggenberger before setting off from Lagos on his way back to Les Sables. "This trip made me more confident about my solo sailing abilities, sleep pattern, on-board routine, and validated a lot of technical choices I made this year."
"Nina has stood the test with no major issue and will get a small makeover during the winter. I still need to work on the sail combination and trimming of my cutter rig, allowing 12 sails, and want to face heavier weather than I have so far."

1¢ euro coin
A coin is generally a piece of hard material, generally metal and usually in the shape of a disc, which is used as a form of money. Along with banknotes, coins make up the cash forms of all modern money systems. Coins are used for lower-valued units, and banknotes are used for the higher values.
History of Coins
The history of coins extends from ancient times to the present. Coins are still widely used for monetary and other purposes. Any history of coins is going to be very incomplete, money being a central theme in human history since its invention. One could approach the history of minting technologies, the history shown by the images on coins, the history of economics, the history of coin collecting or collectors, or many other topics. A recently published history of the greatest treasures and hoards ever found is fascinating reading. Many histories have been published of the politics around the creation of a single coin, notably the crime of 1873 and its connection to silver coinage of the United States. The history of mining, and various gold and silver rushes and their associated pioneer coining efforts are also extremely interesting reading. Even something as lowly as the history of counterfeiting leads one in a thousand interesting directions. Numismatics is, by its very nature, the study of history. Coins have often been referred to as "History in Your Hands."
All histories of coins begin with their invention between 643 and 630 B.C. in Lydia. Since that time, coins have been the most universal embodiment of money. These first coins were made of electrum, a naturally occurring pale yellow mixture of gold and silver. The most famous and widely collected coins of antiquity are Roman coins and Greek coins. The Byzantine empire minted many coins, including very thin gold coins bearing the image of the Christian cross and various Byzantine emperors.
Minting Technologies
Ancient coins were produced through a process of hitting a hammer positioned over an anvil. The Chinese produced primarily cast coinage. Relatively few non Chinese cast coins were produced by governments, however it was a common practice amongst counterfeiters. Since the early 1700s, presses have been used, beginning with screw presses and progressing in the 1800s towards steam driven presses. Recently modern minting techniques involving electric and hydraulic presses have been more commonly employed.
Collecting coins
See Coin collecting and Numismatics for more information on the collecting of coins, bank notes and Exonumia.
The value of a coin
The market exchange value of a coin comes from its historic value, and/or the intrinsic value of the component metal (for example gold or silver).
However, in modern times, most coins are made of a base metal and their value comes strictly from their status as fiat money. This means that the value of the coin is decreed by government fiat rather than agreed by the people, which really makes it less a coin and more a token in the strictest sense.
To distinguish between these two types of coins, as well as from other forms of tokens which have been used as money, monetary scholars have defined three criteria that an object must meet to be a "true coin". These criteria are:
It must be made of a valuable material, and trade for close to the market value of that material.
It must be of a standardized weight and purity.
It must be marked to identify the authority that guarantees the content.
By the above definition, the invention and first known usage of coins comes from the Kingdom of Lydia circa 643-630 B.C. Under three generations of Lydian kings, the money of Lydia gradually moved from being lumps of electrum (a naturally occurring alloy of silver and gold) to coins of a guaranteed weight and purity, marked with the seal of the King. True coins also developed very close to this time frame in both India and China.
The history of coins is a long and interesting one. For example, in 1979 and 1980 a Chinese architectural team excavating the region surrounding the ancient kingdom of Loulan discovered some Mesolithic stone tools and coins (see Loulan: Modern Chinese Expeditions).
Coin debasement
US price levels, 1800 - 2000
Red line marks leaving silver standard
Throughout history, governments have been known to create more coinage than their supply of precious metals would allow. By replacing some fraction of a coin's precious metal content with a base metal (often copper or nickel), the intrinsic value of each individual coin was reduced (thereby "debasing" their money), allowing the coining authority to produce more coins than would otherwise be possible. Debasement of money almost always leads to price inflation unless price controls are also instituted by the governing authority. Some consider a classic example of this phenomenon to be the behavior of price levels in the United States since 1964 (the last year circulating United States Coins were minted of 90 percent silver).
Features of modern coinage
The milled edges still found on many coins were originally designed to show that none of the valuable metal had been shaved off the coin. Prior to the use of milled edges, circulating coins suffered from "shaving," a common problem where unscrupulous persons would shave a small amount of precious metal from the edge of a circulating coin. This is the reason some modern coins have ridges, known as "reeds," on their edges; the presence of reeding shows that the coin's edge has not been shaved. Circulating unmilled British sterling silver coins were known to be shaved to almost half of their minted weight. This form of debasement in Tudor England led to the formulation of Gresham's Law. The monarch would have to periodically recall, paying only bullion value of the silver, and re-mint circulating coins.
Traditionally the side of a coin carrying a bust of a monarch or other authority, or a national emblem, is called the obverse, or colloquially heads. The back side is called the reverse, or colloquially tails. However, the rule is violated in some cases. [1] (http://www.ucalgary.ca/~cns/euro.html) Another rule is that the side carrying the year of minting is the obverse, although most Canadian coins are an exception.
Coins are popularly used as a sort of two-sided die; in order to choose between two options with a random possibility, one choice will be labeled "heads" and the other "tails," and a coin will be flipped or "tossed" to see whether the heads or tails side comes up on top. See Bernoulli trial; a fair coin is defined to have the probability of heads (in the parlance of Bernoulli trials, a "success") of exactly 0.5. A widely publicized example of an asymmetrical coin is the Belgian one euro coin. See also coin flipping.
Coins are sometimes falsified to make one side weigh more. Such a coin is often said to be "weighted."
Some coins, called bracteates, are so thin they can only be struck on one side.

I'm seeing this traceback (python 3.6, twisted 18.7.0). This is in the rendering of a ParentRedirect.
render is passing a URLPath instance as the first arg to redirectTo, presumably on the assumption that it'll be stringified (or bytes-ified), but it just gets handed to nativeString, which doesn't know what to do with it.
redirectTo is documented to want a bytes anyway (and explicitly rejects unicode strings), so probably render should do the bytes-ifying before passing it down to redirectTo.

Q: Query gives empty result if I check whether the date 2019-01-12 falls with in a December to January date range I'm creating an basic Zodiac signs app and I got stuck at this issue.
Basically, I just want to check if today falls between a particular date   range in the mysql table.
NOTE (IGNORE THE YEAR 2019. I just added that for querying convenience)
This is my table:
Zodia Signs Table
 $date = "2019-03-09"
    $zodiacSign =   DB::table('zodiac_signs')
        ->where(function ($query) use($date){
            $query->where('from_date', '<=', $date)
                  ->where('to_date', '>=', $date);
        })->get();

Every date except the date between 2019-12-22 and 2019-01-19 is working as expected. What am I doing wrong here?

A: Maybe you mean for your from_date to be 2018-12-22, not 2019-12-22? (or maybe the to_date should be 2020. You get the idea. December of year N and January of year N+1).

A: You may try a different logic to find the user's Zodiac sign. The approach could be like this, assume that the user's date of birth is December 25. so check the month (December) with your database it could be either Sagittarius or Capricorn. then check the Day (25), as day is > 22 then the Zodiac sign would be Capricorn.
if i break down into steps,

*

*set the range with month and day only, do not add year. check the

*user's month first and find which two could be his/her sign check

*check the day to finalize the decision

You may try a different table structure to accommodate this approach.

A: The quick and lazy solution is to add Capricorn twice. Once to be part of the start of the year (starts in 2018) and once for the end of the year (ends in 2020). If it's not desirable to have zodiacs appear twice, you will need to update your query to special-case the zodiac that crosses the year line.

OK, I admit it–I'm cheating just a little with this week's choice for Song of the Week. Yes, the Carter Family had first recorded this song for the Victor Talking Machine Company in 1930; however the recording below, by the late great Lonnie Donegan, falls well outside our default timeline of 1870 to 1939. It's this week's featured recording simply because I've been fortunate enough to find this 45 rpm vinyl EP on Ebay.
The song passed into the repertoire of, among others, Woody Guthrie, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Cisco Houston, and Pete Seeger, becoming a staple of the mid-century American folk cannon. It was recorded by Lonnie Donegan in 1956. Donegan had been playing banjo with the Chris Barber trad jazz band, later the Ken Colyer band, since the late 1940s, but it was always American folk blues that had been closest to his heart. In fact, Tony Donegan became 'Lonnie' Donegan after opening for the American blues singer-musician Lonnie Johnson at the Royal Festival Hall in June 1952.
Lonnie Donegan's greatest heroes were Leadbelly and Woody Guthrie. By later 1954 he had left the Chris Barber band, and was forging his new role as the 'King of Skiffle', photos of him in those early years–the dress, the pose–clearly showing the debt to Guthrie.

Patients with advanced stage of squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus have a poor prognosis with a lethal outcome. In order to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of dendritic cell (DC)-based immunotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus, we performed a phase I/II clinical trial of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) pulsed with SART1 peptide in seven patients with advanced stage of this disease. Although the feasibility of this therapy was definite, the effectiveness was not clearly confirmed in advanced stage of squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus. However, in vitro study revealed that moDCs generated for this therapy possessed a potent ability of inducing SART1 peptide-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). In addition, these moDCs were demonstrated to be able to produce exosomes with an antigen presenting ability for inducing SART1 peptide-specific CTLs. ELISPOT assay using cryopreserved patient's lymphocytes demonstrated that IFN-γ ELISPOTs were increased after four times of SART1 peptide-pulsed moDC vaccinations compared with before the vaccination in a patient. The present study demonstrated that moDCs prepared from advanced stage of squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus possess a good immune function and in vivo immune responses (detected by ELISPOT assay) were evoked by the infusion of these moDCs. These findings suggest that DC-based immunotherapy could be one of the modalities applicable for squamous cell carcinoma of esophagus.

Overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is common in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Targeting EGFR is an effective approach to treat EGFR-positive HNSCC. However, the clinical benefits of the present EGFR-targeting agents are still limited in HNSCC patients.
Recombinant glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-EGFR fusion protein was produced and purified. Dendritic cells (DCs) of C3H mice were pulsed with fusion protein. Mice were challenged with HNSCC cells before or after vaccination with these DCs, and the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) secretion, tumor growth, and survival of mice were assessed.
Significant in vitro and in vivo antitumor activities were observed for mice immunized with DCs pulsed with GST-EGFR fusion protein, compared with the control groups (p < .05).
The DCs pulsed with GST-EGFR fusion protein can provide not only preventive but also therapeutic antitumor activities against HNSCC in the animal model.

p53 accumulation in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cells creates a targetable tumor antigen. Adjuvantdendritic cell (DC)-based vaccination against p53 was tested in a phase I clinical trial.
EXPERIMENTAL METHODS:
Monocyte-derived DC from 16 patients were loaded with two modified HLA-class I p53 peptides (Arm 1), additional Th tetanus toxoid peptide (Arm 2), or additional Th wild-type (wt) p53-specific peptide (Arm 3). Vaccine DCs (vDC) were delivered to inguinal lymph nodes at three time points. vDC phenotype, circulating p53-specific T cells, and regulatory T cells (Treg) were serially monitored by flow cytometry and cytokine production by Luminex. vDC properties were compared with those of DC1 generated with an alternative maturation regimen.
No grade II-IV adverse events were observed. Two-year disease-free survival of 88% was favorable. p53-specific T-cell frequencies were increased postvaccination in 11 of 16 patients (69%), with IFN-γ secretion detected in four of 16 patients. Treg frequencies were consistently decreased (P = 0.006) relative to prevaccination values. The phenotype and function of DC1 were improved relative to vDC.
Adjuvant p53-specific vaccination of patients with HNSCC was safe and associated with promising clinical outcome, decreased Treg levels, and modest vaccine-specific immunity. HNSCC patients' DC required stronger maturation stimuli to reverse immune suppression and improve vaccine efficacy.

A marketers' guide to TikTok
One of the biggest and fastest-growing social media channels, TikTok is a phenomenon that looks set to stick around.
It's particularly popular with millennials and Gen Z, with 69% of users being aged 16-24. It was the most downloaded iOS app on the Apple App Store for Q3-Q4 in 2019, has been downloaded over 1.5 billion times, and (as of January 2021 figures) had amassed over 689 million users worldwide.
The main reason for TikTok's popularity is that it's a lot of fun. It makes it simple for users to create, edit and share their own content, and popular content goes viral really quickly. The younger generation of users are smartphone natives, accustomed to consuming YouTube content created for them, and comfortable with the idea of creating their own, as well as being open to the idea of influencers.
But despite its opportunities, it's an app that many marketers haven't quite got the hang of yet. Captiv8, the largest AI-Powered Branded Content Platform, recently published a comprehensive marketers' guide, and I want to share with you some of the key insights and TikTok marketing tools.
What is TikTok?
In case you're unfamiliar with it (in which case, where have you been?), let's start with the basics. TikTok is a social platform which allows users to create and share short-form videos. 15-second videos can be set to soundtracks using published music or original backing sounds, and lip-synching, dance and prank videos are all popular.
Challenges are also hugely popular on TikTok, where users are challenged to recreate a video on a particular theme, or using a particular piece of music, and share it using a challenge hashtag.
One of TikTok's big success factors is its simple, lo-fi production capability. Millennials and Gen Z, although used to influencers, find content that is too 'slick' inauthentic and less trustworthy. TikTok 'keeps it real', bringing often unfiltered, unedited and deliberately imperfect content to users, in contrast with the level of 'perfection' which often characterises Instagram channels, for instance.
Another string to TikTok's bow is its potential for rapid internet domination. Unlike other channels, where it can take years to build enough of a following for content to go viral, with TikTok, a single video has the potential to go viral within hours, catapulting the content creator to fame.
For millennials and Gen Zs whose ambition is to become an influencer, or even just those who enjoy the challenge of creating viral content, the potential is seductive indeed.
Let's take a look at five key ways marketers use TikTok:
Branded hashtag challenges
Hashtag challenges make use of the natural tendency of TikTok users to create and share content, rather than merely consume it.
Branded hashtag challenges take it a step further to create genuine brand engagement, and are one of TikTik's most widely used and most successful marketing tools.
By sharing a branded video, and challenging users to record their own version using your sponsored hashtag, you can build affinity and drive engagement with your brand, potentially across millions of users.
In a recent campaign, E.L.F cosmetics created a song 'Eyes, Lips, Face' to use for their #eyeslipsfacecampaign which (at the time of Captiv8's report publication had nearly 18,000 TikTok videos using the song and collectively the videos tagged with #eyeslipsface had been viewed nearly 1.2 billion times.

In-feed videos
In-feed videos look like the typical social media ads you'll be familiar with from other platforms. The video spots (up to 60 seconds, but 15 is recommended) havesound and you can choose from CTA types including website clicks, app downloads or to your brand's TikTok Business Account. The video ads auto-play within a user's feed, but can be skipped.
This is a relatively cost-effective way to advertise onTikTok, but some skill is needed to make sure your video is eye-catching enough to avoid a skip.The CTA options make it simple to measure your ad's success.
Find out more and see some examples on in-feed video ads here: https://blog.shuttlerock.com/complete-guide-to-tiktok-video-ad-formats
Brand takeover
TikTok Brand Takeovers are ads that are served to users immediately they open the TikTok app. It's a 3-5 second full-screen ad which can be either a static image or a GIF, and users can click out at any point. You can use the CTA options to link to your brand's TikTok page or to your external website.
You can also add interactivity and engagement by including a branded hashtag. It's a great high-impact tool for generating high reach, as the whole screen is clickable.
Brand takeovers are exclusive to one advertiser in a category per day, so yours is the only ad in this format that users will see that day. This does make it a premium format, with a price tag to match, so is mostly used by larger brands looking for maximum exposure and reach.
Branded lenses
Branded lenses are a feature that allows users to interact and play with the brand using their filter. They allow users to test products (so are ideal for cosmetic brands, for example) and choose to buy. You can also integrate branded lenses into a hashtag challenge, creating stronger interaction with your brand and promoting your products more widely.
TikTokbranded lenses offer brands the possibility of using 2D, 3D and Augmented Reality (AR) to providecreative face filters and objects, including animated objects,for users toincorporate into their content.
Lenses appear within thetrending section of the TikTok app and users can select themwhile filming, giving them creative control whilst also interacting with, and promoting your brand.
They are time-limited, with branded lenses live for up to 10 days,and able to rank in the top 5 trends for up to 5 days. It's an excellent tool for driving deeper brand engagement, and cosmetic brands have successfully used this ad format not only to generate sales, but also to trial new products through AR technology.

Top View is possibly the prime area of TikTok, appearing first when users open the app. Because it seems more native, users are less likely to skip it before it fades into an in-feed video ad up to 60 seconds long. By creating an engaging video, brands can develop a really immersive brand experience, and there's no competing content to distract the user.
TikTok only allows one advertiser per day per category in Top View, so it's great for increasing brand awareness in your category.
See a top view example here: https://www.tiktok.com/business/en-GB/apps/tiktok
The future for TikTok – watch this space
These are the top five options currently, but in common with other social media platforms, TikTok isn't static, and there are constant new developments for marketers.
TikTok's future focus looks to be on increasing revenue through advertising, creating revenue streams for creators, and improving its user safety measures, especially for children. The platform doesn't yet offer a direct way for creators to make money out of their content, though there are a number of ways in which you can generate income streams through it – developing your influencer status, or using content to sell product or services being two.
According to the Captiv8 report, advertising and in-app spending accounted for $100M globally in 2020, so despite some gaps, it's a serious revenue generator as well as being a highly effective platform for forward-thinking brands to use for audience building and engagement.

My boyfriend was kind enough to get me the stater kit, for Christmas, which included the LED Lamp, before and After Cleanser, Base Coat, and Top Coat. The kit and an extensive range of gorgeous shades is available from the Depend Cosmetic website right here.
1. Make sure you have all your tools, colors, etc. nearby, and prep your work space with kitchen roll. Give your self a dry cleaning pushing your cuticles up using an orange wood stick. If needed cut any excess skin using a cuticle trimmer. Be very careful those things can be sharp!!
2. Make sure the nail is free from any nail polish. Buff the nail to remove any surface oil and create a clean surface for the polish to adhere to.
3. Use the Before and After Cleanser to prep the nail. It is very important to not touch the nail after this step to avoid oils to be transferred to the nail and thereby jeopardizing the gels ability to adhere to the nail. In essence the dryer the nail the better.
Tip: Avoid giving yourself a "damp or wet" cuticle cleaning i.e placing your hand in water for 5 minutes, as this will provide too much moisture to the nail and can hinder the gel from adhering properly.
1. Apply a thin layer of Step 2 (clear base coat) to both of your thumbs and cure in the LED lamp for 30 seconds. Apply to the last four fingers on your left hand, cure for 30 seconds, repeat on the right hand.
2. Apply one thin layer of Pretty Purple to both thumbs, cure for 30 seconds. Do the same to remaining fingers on left hand cure, repeat for right hand. Repeat steps and Apply a second layer of Pretty Purple. Apply one layer of French White to Ring fingers and cure. Repeat for a second layer and cure. Tip: If you get a bit of polish on your skin, no worries, just use a tooth pick to pick up the polish around the skin or cuticle before you cure.
3. Use a dotting tool to or tooth pick to apply Pretty Purple dots on the ring finger. Tip: Start in the center of the nail working from cuticle to tip, dip tool into gellack polish for each dot to insure same size and opacity.
4. Use a dotting tool to apply French White in one line start dotting from cuticle to tip. Cure thumbs, then left hand, then right hand for 30 seconds each. Tip: the less pressure you apply the smaller the dot will be, the more pressure the larger the dot will be.
5. Apply Step 4 (clear top coat) to thumbs, cure for 30 seconds, apply to remaining fingers on left hand, cure, repeat for right hand.
6. Saturate the Before and After Cleanser on a cotton pad and rub on cured nails to remove sticky residue and leave behind an amazing glossy shine. Voila and your nails will be chip free and shiny for 2 weeks.
2. Apply one thin layer of Baby Pink to both thumbs, cure for 30 seconds. Do the same to remaining fingers on left hand, cure, repeat for right hand.
3. Apply Black Of Night as the boarder of the leopard spots. Using a thin brush or tooth pick create random "c" shapes on the nail. Cure thumbs for 30 seconds, repeat one hand at a time.
3. Apply Mint Green with a dotting tool or tooth pick for the center of the leopard spots. Dot in the center of the black outlines. Cure thumbs for 30 seconds, repeat for each hand.
4. Apply Step 4 (clear top coat) to thumbs, cure for 30 seconds, apply to remaining fingers on left hand, cure, repeat for right hand.
5. Saturate the Before and After Cleanser on a cotton pad and rub on cured nails to remove sticky residue and leave behind an amazing glossy shine.

This past Sunday I volunteered to give a presentation on randonneuring during a spring clinic at my local cycling club (FLCC). Other presenters were Steve Powell and Andrejs Ozolins on self-contained touring, Bill Goffe on credit card touring and John Dennis on health tips as they relate to cycling, in particular long distance events.
The turnout was great and I was very happy to see a crowd that showed great interest. John Dennis gave me a very flattering introduction, and I am grateful for that. We all had a good time, there were plenty of funny moments and I believe the attendees left with a much better understanding of what randonneuring is all about.
I have uploaded my presentation to scribd. See below.

The bracelet I had made was in memory of a soldier who died in a vehicle accident in Iraq on 28 April. His spouse was assigned to my company, and I had to tell her that her husband was killed while we were deployed here in Iraq as well. It was the hardest thing Ive ever done, and I wear it as a reminder that whenever things seem bad, they will never be as bad as they were on that day.

I hope this newsletter finds you well. With Region 2's elections in the Valley behind us, we are fully in the Neighborhood Council election cycle now with EmpowerLA and City Clerk staff both qualifying candidates and holding elections at the same time. I want to congratulate Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council on their great election turn out in pouring rain no less last Saturday. Thanks to Ethan Turer, their Youth Rep and Election Chair, and the PRNC board and election volunteers, they signed up 23 candidates for 5 open seats and had 730 people come out to vote! On election day, Ethan was using social media to remind their stakeholders to come out and vote. Congratulations to Ethan and PRNC since they have taken the lead in getting Mayor Garcetti to come out to swear their board in!
I stopped by USC this week to talk about Neighborhood Councils to master students in Terry Cooper's public policy class. Terry is the Director of the USC's Civic Engagement Initiative, and has studied the Neighborhood Councils from the start. We're talking about how USC can do a follow up study on the impact of Neighborhood Councils so hopefully we can make that happen soon. I'm also talking with UCLA about how we can work together to create Neighborhood Council profiles to provide board members with the necessary information about their community history, demographics, zoning and assets to support their work.
Yesterday, I was at the first TEDx for the City of Los Angeles, which was organized by the Emergency Management Department. It turns out that General Manager Jim Featherstone, who is Interim Fire Chief now, is a big TED fan as I am, too. He and his team put together a great TEDx session for City employees that covered emergency management and leadership issues with presenters both local and across the country, including our LAPD Chief Charlie Beck. I'm picking the brain of his staffer, Chris Ipsen, who coordinated the event about how we can do something about civic engagement since Los Angeles' Neighborhood Councils are setting the standard in that arena.
I'll be trying to get around to all the polling locations in my little electric car tomorrow in Region 1 of the Valley. If I don't see you, enjoy the warm weather this weekend!

Q: Cookie values returned as undefined I'm trying to set and read it back but it is return 'Undefined'.

        var data1 = JSON.parse(readCookie("formData"));
        alert(data1.Month);

        return false;
    });

**The html:**

The cookie appears to be setting correcting. The cookie data looks like this:
    [{"name":"Month","value":"07"},{"name":"Year","value":"2010"}]
but the alert returns 'Undefined. If I leave out the .Month from the alert, it returns object Object.
I'm at a loss as to what is wrong so any help would be appreciated.

A: [{"name":"Month","value":"07"},{"name":"Year","value":"2010"}]

If this is your data, then data1.Month does not exist.  This is an array of objects.
{"name":"Month","value":"07"}

and
{"name":"Year","value":"2010"}

These objects, have a name property and a value property.  To get the month, you'd need to loop through the array, and find the object with the value of name equal to 'Month'.

Second Sight's 'Dawn of the Dead' 4K Ultra HD Box Set Bumped from Pre-Halloween to Post-Halloween
The wait is going to be just a little bit longer for Second Sight Films' hotly anticipated 4K Ultra HD release of George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead, we've learned this week.
Available in Blu-ray or 4K Ultra HD versions, Dawn of the Dead will now release on November 16. It had previously been set for release prior to Halloween on October 26.
The company tweeted today, "Due to current circumstances manufacturing & packing are going to take longer than expected. Apologies, we know it's been a long wait and thank everyone for their continued patience as we head for home straight!"
Boasting a restoration of the film from the original camera negative provided by producer Richard P. Rubenstein, the Limited Edition box set is now available for pre-order in the UK and United States through Zavvi:
UK – Blu-ray Set (£69.99)
UK – 4K Ultra HD Set (£79.99)
US – 4K Ultra HD Set ($99.99)
The set includes a new commentary track on the US Theatrical Cut, a new 59-minute documentary special feature, a previously unreleased archive interview with George Romero, a new 13-minute featurette wherein Tom Savini talks about the film's makeup effects, the 2014 documentary The Dead Will Walk, and various other brand new interviews and featurettes.
Also included, a 150-page hardback book and the movie's novelization.

The first three discs are 4K Ultra HD discs, but the fourth disc (even in the 4K Ultra HD set) is a Region B Blu-ray and you'll need a Region Free player to play it.
The Blu-ray version of the set includes all Region B Blu-ray discs.

One of the six elements on the Passover seder plate, this spiced chunky spread symbolizes the mortar that the Jewish slaves used for constructing buildings in ancient Egypt. You can serve it spooned over matzo, though it's also a fine topping for roast chicken or beef. I like to start light with the prominent flavors (cinnamon, honey, and red wine) and then add more to taste.
Mix all the ingredients together in a medium bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes, toss well, then add more honey, red wine, or cinnamon to taste.
The haroset will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days before serving.
Next time use a FP. Very easy, very good!!
We tripled this recipe for a Sedar so it was a bit time consuming (lots of tiny chopping) but very good.
