Q: ReactiveUI - how to manage ReactiveCommand exceptions? I have simple user control with a ViewModel and a ReactiveCommand CheckForUpdates which runs in background and may throw. This command is explicitly executed in ViewModel's WhenActivated method. All I want to achieve is to catch the exception and log it in ViewModel, and additionally show Message Box to the user. The problem is, when I add Catch, then ThrownExceptions doesn't return anything and the MessageBox is not shown. When I remove Catch, the application crashes... I don't know how to do this properly??
public partial class SettingsDialog : SettingsDialogBase, IDialog
{
    public SettingsDialog()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        this.WhenActivated((CompositeDisposable d) =>
        {
            ViewModel
                .CheckForUpdates
                .ThrownExceptions
                .Subscribe(ex =>
                {
                    MessageBoxHelper.ShowError(ex); // doesn't fire when `Catch` is present in ViewModel
                })
                .DisposeWith(d);
        });
    }
}

ViewModel:

public ReactiveCommand<Unit, ApplicationUpdateInfo> CheckForUpdates { get; set; }

public SettingsDialogViewModel(IApplicationUpdateService updateService)
{
    CheckForUpdates = ReactiveCommand.CreateFromTask(async () =>
    {
        return await CheckForUpdatesAsync();
    });

    this.WhenActivated((CompositeDisposable d) =>
    {
        CheckForUpdates
            .Execute()
            .Catch(Observable.Return(new ApplicationUpdateInfo())) // crashes the app if removed
            .Subscribe()
            .DisposeWith(d);
    });
}

    private async Task<ApplicationUpdateInfo> CheckForUpdatesAsync()
    {
        throw new Exception("Error");
    }

A: You should subscribe to ThrownExceptions before the exception is thrown.
You typically do this in the constructor of the view model:
CheckForUpdates.ThrownExceptions.Subscribe(ex => ...);

If you want to subscribe to ThrownExceptions in the view, you need to do it before the view model throws, e.g.:
var subscription = ViewModel?.
    CheckForUpdates.
    ThrownExceptions.
    Subscribe(ex => MessageBoxHelper.ShowError(ex));

this.WhenActivated((CompositeDisposable d) =>
    subscription.DisposeWith(d));

Interviews// God of War: Ghost of Sparta
Posted 25 Nov 2010 16:17 by Svend Joscelyne
Companies: Ready At Dawn
People: Ru Weerasuriya
Games: God of War: Ghost of Sparta (PSP)
God of War has enjoyed direction from many different people over the years. Once a PlayStation 2 killer app (and one of the PS3's big hitters in 2010), Kratos' story of ultimate revenge took a journey on the PSP in 2008 with Chains of Olympus.
That game ended up becoming a huge deal for both the PSP platform and PSP owners around the world, easily becoming one of the biggest-selling titles on the handheld.
It made such an impact that developers Ready at Dawn decided to pack up its PSP development kits, believing it had pushed the platform as much as it could, and went off into the distance. Two years later, they're back with a PSP sequel, Ghost of Sparta.
In this interview, I chat with the Ready at Dawn studio head, Ru Weerasuriya, about the U-turn and his anticipation for feedback and comments. We also chat about David Jaffe and a few words that were exchanged...
SPOnG: So, what's the story with you guys not making any more PSP games?
Ru Weerasuriya: We sent our dev kits back. Honestly, after Chains of Olympus we thought we were done with the PSP because we had pushed it where we wanted to, and also I think there was... you know, you always try and compare yourself to other games out there. You try to figure out, ?Okay, whose doing something better and can we do it better than them??
You see that on PS3, you know: one game comes out and then another one... you know Call of Duty's coming out, and then Uncharted 2 comes out and you're like, ?Okay, you've got to do better...? So there's always somebody doing better stuff.
So, at the time after Chains we were at the point where we felt, ?Well, what else do we do?? We did everything we could have possibly done on the PSP and we don't know whether we could push it any further.
It took us a few months ? I would say three, four months ? before we really thought about it again and realised, ?Yeah, you know there are certain places we could get to if we really pushed the tech. We actually could do something better." And in the end that's kind of the reason we went back to God of War. Because we knew that all the stuff that we couldn't do on the first one could be done again in the second one.
As much as the first one was a learning experience, the second one could really be our chance to show what we were capable of. Not only on PSP but also as a God of War title that we could just have a lot of freedom with.
SPOnG: And what you?re showing me here - the Kratos screenshots and the cinematics - that?s all a part of the PSP hardware that you?re pushing right?
RW: What you're seeing right here are all PSP assets. That is the in-game Kratos model, everything all of this stuff is part of the whole game. And that's part of where we went from the first to the second one.
SPOnG: When you were at the stage when you thought "We're going to return all of our dev kits" do you think that you guys were the only ones who were pushing the PSP that hard? You obviously must have thought, "There's nowhere else to go from here..?
RW: Yeah exactly. In some ways we thought we'd done everything on the platform. Not to sound big-headed or anything, but that's one of the reasons we got a little bummed about it.
At the time we really felt like nobody else really wanted to push or, you know, had the desire to actually do more for the platform. And that bummed us out because we looked at it like, "Okay, this is going to be great, this platform is going to be awesome but if not enough people support it, it always is a hard fight to have. Competition's always good put it that way.
SPOnG: It's a bit of strange one really with the PSP because it's sold so many units - and is still selling very well in Japan - but in terms of mindshare, when people think about handhelds they don't think about the PSP an awful lot. Would you agree?
RW: I think the popularity of the PSP, it's good. I mean if you look at the sales world-wide, they're pretty good. But, at the same time, it's not as if there weren?t enough people on PSP. I think there have been a lot of games on PSP, which is one of the good things.
But I think at the same time people don't think about PSP the same way... because you don't have that core experience you expect from a powerful platform. I don't think that I expect a core experience from a Game Boy or a DS either. I do expect more of a casual experience, so something that I feel is more fun to play in small bursts.
The thing that people don't realise is that the PSP is capable of so much more. It's amazing. We've tried to prove it with what we've done, that platform is unbelievable, it's capable of replicating that home console experience. People didn't see that enough I think.

Q: noUiSlider Handles Displaying In Incorrect Places I am attempting to setup a noUiSlider (version 13.1.5) from within a Polymer 3 custom element. The slider displays and technically works but the right handle is displaying where the left handle should be and the left handle is displaying outside of the container set out for the slider.
I've taken code from a Polymer 1 element that works 100% correctly but the handles aren't working in the Polymer 3 element.
The html code is as follows and has not changed between the two Polymer versions (other than the code now being in the template function for Polymer 3):

Range Selection

Score Interval

            <input id="scoreRangeIntervalInput" on-change="_scoreRangeIntervalChanged" type="number" value="5" />

The Polymer code that sets up the slider is as follows and has not changed between the two Polymer versions (other than the retrieval of the element into the variable slider):
var slider = this.$.scoreRangeSelectorSlider;
noUiSlider.create(slider,
{
    connect: true,
    range:
    {
        'min': 0,
        'max': 100
    },
    start: [0, 100],
    step: 1,
    tooltips: [true, true]
});
slider.noUiSlider.on("end", this._sliderMoved);

In the Polymer 1 element, the slider displayed correctly with it's handles, as follows:
https://www.pastiebin.com/5cd95545273b1
In the Polymer3 element, the slider displays but the right handle is displaying where the left handle should be and the left handle is displaying outside of the container, displaying under another container:
https://www.pastiebin.com/5cd9563ac618f
The handle that can be seen in the image is the handle that should be on the right hand side of the slider. The element being shown as "div.noUi-origin" is the left handle that should be on the left hand side of the slider.
The noUiSlider code seems to be adding transformations onto the handles that are pushing them off where they should be but I am unsure of what I am supposed to do to fix this.

A: set "direction: ltr" to "scoreRangeSelectorSlider" parent

edit: in respond to comment @Filipe

How would the change from clip to clip-path be? I tried (also changing rect to inset), but the animation stops working.

Possible example with clip-path instead clip .

Which is to say that as Associated Bank Vice President for Foreign Exchange and Trade Services, Eversman has the opportunity to translate his lifelong passion for languages and dedication to banking into professional and personal fulfillment. In doing so, Eversman is clearly in today's vanguard of specialists who benefit their clients and company through specialization involving more than one expertise.
Simply stated, Eversman's is a fascinating story that he hopes might in one way or another serve as inspiration to colleagues as well as young people entering college and the career world.
"My job involves marketing foreign exchange and trade services to Associated clients," Eversman said when asked to explain exactly what he does that utilizes his love of languages. Specifically, he assists importing and exporting customers in identifying risks and structuring trade transactions involving letters of credit, trade finance and foreign exchange. On some occasions, there is a need to deal with information in a foreign language.
"Recently, a client presented us with a document in Dutch. We asked for an English translation, but I was able to confirm that the translation made sense," he said, noting that his German language background was especially helpful with Dutch. In another case, he discovered that the English translation of a draft Russian contract was inaccurate in important respects that affected his customer's interests. "I am just drawn to those kinds of things," he said.
One particularly satisfying language experience came when a colleague asked him to help translate some archaic German handwriting in a family bible, passing it down from one generation to another. Eversman said he had become familiar with the old German script when he was serving in the United States Army and stationed in Berlin.
And that takes us to Eversman's background in languages. "I am of German extraction," he said. "When I was young, my grandparents still spoke German at home." That was in Indiana. "In high school, I took Latin and French. German was not available, but I was curious about it."
Following high school, Eversman attended Indiana University where he planned to major in business. "I took my first accounting course and hated it," he said, "and promptly reconsidered my major. I also took two semesters of German and liked that, but I felt as though I was spending money on tuition and going nowhere. So I decided to pursue an opportunity to learn German in the army, travel in Europe and take advantage of the GI Bill."
That was in 1971. After eight months studying German in California, Eversman served as a German linguist and intelligence analyst with the United States Army Security Agency stationed in Berlin from 1972 to 1974.
Following his service, Eversman returned to Indiana University and by 1976 had earned his Bachelor's Degree in German, including a year at the University of Hamburg. It was then definitely time to augment his language degree with more practical study that ideally could be combined with his earlier focus. "I thought about law but decided on an MBA in Finance," he said, noting that he chose to stay at Indiana to earn his MBA and took an intensive first-year Russian course in summer school for a change of pace.
It was after gaining experience in international banking and trade services that Eversman joined Associated Bank in 2001 and continued to capitalize on his belief that everyone benefits when one can blend personal, educational and professional strengths.
"This is what I have told my two sons," said Eversman, noting that both boys have completed a liberal arts undergraduate education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, with one son now in a graduate program and the other planning to pursue graduate study after spending the next year as an AmeriCorps volunteer in Milwaukee.
"I am a liberal arts guy at heart," he said, "and I think it has served me well. My advice to young people is to seek as broad an education as possible. Even if you are studying business, take some classes in the humanities, even language courses. Business is becoming increasingly globalized, and an understanding of other cultures, languages and especially history is almost indispensible."
He is not alone in his opinion. For example, he said, "On NPR (National Public Radio) I recently heard an interview with a Harvard philosophy professor who teaches ethics in the School of Business. He urged students majoring in business to minor in Liberal Arts and vice versa. This is exactly what I mean."
As a person and as professional, Eversman said, beyond utilizing his liberal arts and financial background, he strives to meet, mentor and coach co-workers, clients and customers. "I always encourage my sons to make the effort to meet new people, even the elderly, who are often overlooked by the young. Every individual is like a book, often with a fascinating story inside. You need to take a book off the shelf, crack the binding and read at least a few pages before passing judgment."
In much the same way, it is always good to search for the person beyond the title on the business card. In Eversman's case, there is a language specialist and liberal arts guy behind the Vice President for Foreign Exchange and Trade Services.

ACO aims to be the network for Dutch scientists that are interested in "the functioning of China". ACO does not focus on scientists that want to apply a certain theory or scientific discipline regardless of geographic region. Instead, it specifically focuses on those scientists that are fascinated in the question why a certain theory or scientific approach does or does not work in the Chinese context. ACO represents the interests of Dutch scientists, but welcomes – especially during forum gatherings – the participation of other groups: policy makers, entrepreneurs, NGO representatives, etc.

HERS-EA Third Academy Urges Women Leaders to Soar!
The Higher Education Resource Services-East Africa (HERS-EA) Third Academy got off to a flying start on Monday, 1st July 2019 with women leaders drawn from various institutions in Uganda and abroad being urged to let go of all burdens so as to soar professionally and academically. Set to be held under the theme: Enabling you soar to new heights, the week-long academy got off with an opening ceremony presided over by the Vice Chancellor, Makerere University, Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe and a keynote address delivered by Prof. Judith White, Former President and Executive Director, HERS-USA.
Welcoming participants and facilitators to the opening ceremony, HERS-USA Alumnus and HERS-EA Coordinator, Ms. Naomi Lumutenga could not help but express the inner joy that came with holding the Third Academy. This, she noted, was a giant leap forward from the humble beginnings of the East Africa Chapter in 2014 as an affiliate of HERS based in Denver, Colorado, USA.
HERS-EA provides intensive residential leadership and management development training focused on women, mainly in higher education institutions and administration. "This week, you will listen to presentations by seasoned women who have a wealth of knowledge and experience but above all else, they are willing to share it freely" added Ms. Lumutenga.
The HERS-EA coordinator further urged participants to view the Academy as a space to develop 'take home' skills as well as think through a leadership project, which will be nurtured and refined at the Academy and hopefully, be implemented at their home institutions. "To help you keep record of this, you will be issued with a journal to use during the week and we hope that you will continue to update it when you leave the Academy."
The curriculum for the Third Academy will be broken down into the three main areas of; Institutional Development which will cover managing and leading change among other topics as well as Personal Development with topics such as professional women's economic empowerment through enterprise development and management for profit maximization. The curriculum will thirdly cover Networking, with sessions on personal growth and professional development and many others.
Addressing the gathering, the Chairperson HERS-EA Dr. Ruth Muwazi whose enthusiasm outweighed the fact that she had retired from Makerere University service in 2018, shared that her organisation was committed to raising the proportion of women in leadership and managerial positions in Higher Education Institutions, the same way she and a few others were empowered.
"We want to be a resource for developing women leaders in Higher Education and other Institutions" she enthused. "Our HERS cohort that trained in South Africa was helpless until Prof. Margaret Khaitsa, Dr. Florence Wakoko-Studstill and Ms. Naomi Lumutenga came along and brought us together to form HERS-EA. I may be a little soft spoken but HERS has taught me that no matter what your character is, you are a fighter" added Dr. Muwazi in encouragement.
Delivering his address at the Third Academy, the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe thanked Prof. Judith White, Amb. Dr. Gennet Zewide, from Ethiopia, and other facilitators for flying thousands of kilometres to Uganda, so as to empower women leaders in higher education at no cost.
"I also thank Prof. Margaret Khaitsa, Dr. Florence Wakoko-Studstill and Ms. Naomi Lumutenga for being patriotic by leaving the comfort of the Diaspora in the USA and UK to come to their roots and empower women leaders and contribute to socioeconomic transformation in East Africa" added Prof. Nawangwe.
The Vice Chancellor noted that more than thirty years ago, Makerere University took the step to address gender imbalance at the institution by introducing affirmative action, which awarded an additional 1.5points to females who qualified for admission.
"When I came to Makerere University there was no female member of staff and only one female student in the then Faculty of Technology" noted the Vice Chancellor, adding that ratios had significantly improved since then.
"We have therefore made a contribution to addressing the gender imbalance not only at Makerere University but also the entire country. It is not an easy task to erase the injustices of gender imbalance that have been practiced over time but we are aware that we need to do more and are committed" added Prof. Nawangwe.
He further reassured HERS-EA of Makerere University's support in as far as training women leaders for socioeconomic transformation is concerned. "The only way we will emancipate our people from poverty is by ensuring that the gender that makes up the majority of our population is empowered to make a greater contribution to our countries' economic development."
Kicking off her address, the energetic Prof. Judith White who made use of a number of props shared that there was no better way to commemorate one year since retiring as Executive Director of HERS-USA than to deliver the keynote at the HERS-EA Third Academy hosted by Makerere University.
"Today we have an incredible assembly of wonderful women. You all come with a story of what empowered you and HERS will give you a chance to think about how to exercise leadership in the institutions you come from; you are now part of HERS' soaring sisterhood" exuded Prof. White.
Prof. White's keynote address then took on a historical tone for she deemed it was important that "we all need to think about our relationships in terms of history." She then took her audience back to 1972; a turning point in her life marked by three events namely; the passing of Title IX, the founding of HERS and her graduation from Princeton University.
The passing of Title IX; a comprehensive federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, as part of the education amendments of 1972 in the USA mandated the delivery of education to women such as Prof. White and people of colour. As such, she was able to 'legitimately' graduate along with the last group of men in the hitherto male-dominated graduation since the University's founding in 1746.
Citing Women of influence, Women of vision: a cross-generational study of leaders and social change by Astin Helen and other authors, gave a sneak peek into the categories of women such as; Instigators and Inheritors whom she would expound more on during her sessions on Personal Development. She then went on to share some valuable lessons learnt over thirteen years of interaction with over two thousand women at HERS.
"You have to be strong" she started off, before quickly adding. "Make sure that you are using your strengths in ways that you want or else others will use your strengths in ways that they want."
"Soaring takes sight" she continued on to the second lesson. "Soaring takes vision, insight and foresight. Whatever goes up does not stay up forever; it must come down. Plan for a soft landing: you don't plan for if it happens; for it surely will, plan for when it happens. You want to always have a soft landing"
She then went on to tackle the third and possibly most important lesson. "Flight takes lightness; a lightness of spirit. You will have scars, sad moments and feeling that you have been let down, betrayed and not properly appreciated. The best way to stay light, to take the burden away is to share. Find other women with whom to soar... it is by finding strong women to surround yourself with that you will soar," concluded Prof. White, the audience simultaneously according her rapturous applause.
The barriers to female advancement in higher education are not the preserve of developing countries. Nevertheless factors like strong cultural influence, segregation according to caste, socioeconomic background and institutional biases make them more endemic in Africa and Asia. There was therefore no better candidate to deliver a presentation on the aforementioned than Amb. Dr. Gennet Zewide, who has in the past served as Ambassador of Ethiopia to India; Chair Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) and Minister of Education for Ethiopia.
Dr. Zewide whose PhD focused on the impact of education on women appreciated the role of FAWE in mentoring her as a female professional and underscored the importance of successful senior career women in uplifting their junior peers. She noted that the mindset of women not being decision makers was so entrenched in society, that in her personal experience, she rejected the first callup to serve as Minister of Education for Ethiopia, only agreeing after a few weeks of dealing with her deeply rooted fears. She went on to serve as Minister for thirteen years between 1992 and 2005.
Citing the caste system of India the former Ambassador of Ethiopia to India from 2006 to 2016 observed that women in certain jurisdictions face even greater barriers in advancement in higher education due to belonging to particular certain caste. She noted that it is important that affirmative action trickles even further down in such societies.
Borrowing from personal experience as a former academic and mother, she shared that society unknowingly expects women to not only perform as per their job descriptions but to also excel in order to be recognized. "As a mother, I had to bring my two daughters to my workplace whenever I had classes to teach in the evening and keep checking that they were doing their home work. I also had negotiated with students of my early morning classes to push them into mid morning because as a mother, I could not make it to work early enough!"
Dr. Zewide therefore urged the women to use their job placements to break the stereotypes of men as sole breadwinners and women as only being capable of home keeping. "I found it hard to convince my daughter who was in Grade 3 at the time that I had to work because her school textbooks portrayed women solely as the nurses, maids, cleaners and not bread winners. As soon as I became Minister, I made sure that this stereotype was changed in our children's textbooks."
Makerere University enjoys a good reputation as the champion of gender mainstreaming in the region. Delivering a presentation on Gender Mainsteraming: Situation analysis of the host university, the Director Gender Mainstreaming Directorate (GMD), Dr. Euzobia Mugisha Baine shared that Makerere's first women studies programme was launched in 1991. This was however not without incidence as the first cohort was constantly asked why they were studying women.
Dr. Mugisha Baine however noted that rather than offend, this lingering question brought to light the need to progress from simply teaching and conducting research about women and gender to promoting gender equality and women's empowerment in Makerere University.
"The Gender Mainstreaming Programme was approved by Senate and Council in 2001 and since 2000, institutionalization of gender as a cross cutting theme, has been a priority area in the University's Strategic Plans" added Dr. Mugisha Baine.
On the research and innovation front, the Director noted that Makerere's Gender Mainstreaming Programme (GMP) supports gender focused research and publications. She noted that although publishing in high impact journals lends credence to Makerere as an academic institution, research that leads to socioeconomic transformation was increasingly being promoted as part of institutional relevance to society. "This is where our Gender Mainstreaming Programme links up well with the HERS-EA model to bridge the gap between women in higher education and those at the grassroots."
Dr. Mugisha Baine further noted that Makerere University was one of the institutions that was compliant with the Public Finance, Management Act because it is keen on addressing gender and equity concerns in the budget making processes. "We however have to go beyond simply budgeting and ensuring that gender-specific interventions are seen to their successful end."
The HERS-EA Third Academy will run until Saturday, 6th July 2019, where participants will on the final day of training, be tipped on the how to land that much-desired job.

Q: In-memory compression of a Zip file I want to compress files into Zip in-memory (I will store the result on a database instead of creating files in the file system).
How can I read the raw content for the compressed Zip file ?. I can't see any property to read that content, or any method to save that content into an Stream or any other in-memory structure.
function GetZip(UncompressedFile: TStream): TBytes;
var AZipFile: TZipFile;
begin
  AZipFile := TZipFile.Create;
  try
    AZipFile.Add(UncompressedFile);
    Result := AZipFile.Data;  // ?? How to get the compressed file without saving it to the file system ??
  finally
    AZipfile.Free;
  end;
end;

Thank you.

A: Thanks to AmigoJack and Remy Lebeau for letting me know that I can use the Zip input Stream to also get the result.
This works fine :
function Zip_AddFile(FileToAdd: TStream; Title: string): TBytes; overload;
begin
   Result := Zip_AddFile([], FileToAdd, Title);
end;

function Zip_AddFile(Zip: TBytes; FileToAdd: TStream; Title: string): TBytes; overload;
var AZipFile: TZipFile;
    ZipStream: TBytesStream;
begin
  ZipStream := TBytesStream.Create(Zip);
  AZipFile := TZipFile.Create;
  try
    AZipFile.Open(ZipStream, zmReadWrite);
    AZipFile.Add(FileToAdd, Title);
    AZipFile.Close;
    Result := ZipStream.Bytes;
  finally
    AZipfile.Free;
    ZipStream.Free;
  end;

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Ribonucleasa T1}}

La ribonucleasa T1 () es una endonucleasa que se encuentra en los fungi que rompe moléculas de ARN de cadena simple después de residuos de guanina en su terminal 3'. La forma más estudiada de esta enzima es la versión que se encuentra en el Aspergillus orzyae. Debido a su especificidad por la guanina, se usa frecuentemente para digerir ARN desnaturalizado antes de su secuenciación. Igual que con otras ribonucleasas como la barnasa y la ribonucleasa A, la ribonucleasa T1 es popular para la realización de estudios de plegado.

Estructuralmente, la ribonucleasa T1 es una proteína α+β pequeña de 104 aminoácidos con cuatro filamentos antiparalelos de láminas beta que cubren una hélice alfa de casi 5 vueltas. La ribonucleasa T1 tiene dos enlaces disulfuro, Cys2-Cys10 y Cys6-Cys103, el segundo de los cuales contribuye más a la estabilidad de la proteína. La reducción completa de los dos enlaces disulfuro normalmente rompe el plegamiento de la proteína, aunque éste puede ser recuperado con altas concentraciones salinas.

La ribonucleasa T1 tiene también cuatro residuos prolina, dos de los cuales (Pro-39 y Pro-55) tienen isómeros cis de sus enlaces peptídicos X-Pro. Los isómeros no nativos de estas prolinas pueden retardar dramáticamente el plegamiento conformacional a unos 7000 segundos (casi dos horas) a 10 C y pH 5.

His penetrating intellect had mastered the subtleties of the system of Chrysippus, but they seldom appear in his works, at least without, apology.
" They endeavoured to enable the English reader to follow the correspondences of the original with the closest exactness, to catch the solemn repetition of words and phrases, to mark the subtleties of expression, to feel even the strangeness of unusual forms of speech."
In that period of extreme degradation into which all the higher arts fell after the destruction of the Roman Empire, though true feeling for beauty and knowledge of the subtleties of the human form remained for centuries almost dormant, yet at Byzantium at least there still survived great technical skill and power in the production of all sorts of metal-work.
From the subtleties of rival systems it is a satisfaction to turn to two movements in the medicine of the 18th century which, though they did not extinguish the spirit of system-making, opened up paths of investigation by which the systems were ultimately superseded.
From one of the monks he also received instruction in logic; but the subtleties of the scholastic science were thoroughly distasteful to him.
They not only introduced him to the subtleties of Italian diplomacy, but'also extended his observation over races very different from the Italians.
It rested on a mass of legal assumptions and subtleties, fallacious indeed, but ingenious, and, as the result proved, effective.
Unfortunately the lesson which his contemporaries learnt was not the importance of experiment, but only the need of contriving ether" systems "less open to objection; and thus the influence of Haller led directly to the theoretical subtleties of William Cullen and John Brown, and only indirectly and later on to the general anatomy of M.
It is intended to be a practical manual for the student and the official alike; and, to fulfil this object, it treats of the mechanic arts of life as well as the subtleties of the scholar, the duties of the prince and the tactics of the general.
His works are marked by admirable appreciation of nature, and by a rare understanding of wave-form and colour and of the subtleties of atmospheric effect; and as a sea-painter he may fairly be regarded as almost without a rival.
At Oxford he gave himself to the study of religion rather than to the subtleties of scholastic philosophy, for which he professed a strong distaste.
They produced many eminent anatomists, but in the end seem to have become lost in theoretical subtleties, and to have maintained too high a standard of literary cultivation.
More inclined to the subtleties of diplomacy than to the risks of battle, he had recognized and speedily grasped the disadvantages of warfare.
The earlier artists at Newlyn were said to have selected it as their centre, because a greyness in the atmosphere helped their depiction of subtleties in tone, part of their creed being subordination of colour to tone-gradation.
He is an earnest, sometimes stern and sometimes pathetic, preacher of righteousness, who despises the mere graces of style and the subtleties of an abstruse logic. He has no patience with mere antiquarian study of the Stoical writers.
The principles of religion he learnt from the Bible, Sulpicius Severus and some lives of saints, but to patristic literature and the subtleties of theology he remained a stranger.
L-Mu~affar Na~r of Nishaptir; Abti Abdallah Mahommed of Junaid, equally renowned for his Arabic and Persian poetry; ManawI of BokhgrS, full of original thoughts and spiritual subtleties; KhusrawnI, from whom even FirdousI condescended to borrow quotations; Abti l-Hasan.
But, on the other hand, he takes absolutely no interest in dogmatic subtleties and clerical disputes; he regards them as the source of great evils, and expresses his craving for peace: "one ought to adore the ineffable mystery in silence."
He had no objection to a national establishment of religion, provided that it was comprehensive enough, and was really the nation organized to promote goodness; not to protect the metaphysical subtleties of sectarian theologians.
Even as a boy he had intense pleasure in reading St Thomas Aquinas and the Arab commentators of Aristotle, was skilled in the subtleties of the schools, wrote verses, studied music and design, and, avoiding society, loved solitary rambles on the banks of the Po.

NHL realignment on the table again.
Re: NHL realignment on the table again.
TheHammer24 wrote: I don't really disagree with you Slappy. Perhaps I am over-valuing "fairness" and perhaps further I am ignoring the anecdotes you provide. The second half of your most recent long post is also spot on. The current system is also not fair under my scenario. But that a more-fair option is not the most-fair option is not a reason to choose a less-fair option.
I think one thing you ignore is it doesn't just matter who wins the Cup---I think it also matters who gets to the Cup, who gets to the Conference finals, and who gets the second round. There is significant disutility from your team losing earlier than they should.
Moreover, that "one of the best teams in the NHL" always wins the Cup ignores my central point: I suggest that the proposed system will make it significantly harder for certain teams to win the Cup. Suppose the West is fairly divided between a 7 and 8 team conference, but the East is divided into a stacked 8-team conference (NJ, NYR, Pittsburgh, Boston, Philly, Montreal, Toronto, Washington). Under a divisional playoff system (and unequal sized divisions), you would undoubtedly expect that conference to win fewer Stanley Cups. Yet, you would also expect a top-six team to always win the Cup. Presumably every Stanley Cup will be played between a top team from the West and a top team from the East, both whom are top-six NHL teams. That the Cup produces a "good team" as champion, doesn't mean the playoff system doesn't unfairly eliminate good teams too early.
"But that a more-fair option is not the most-fair option is not a reason to choose a less-fair option."
Of course. There is a point on the axis where unfairness outweighs the benefits it provides -- money, TV value, rooting interest, whatever -- where the structure is not one we should choose. My point on that axis is further away from a purely fair model compared to where you are, which is fine. I just don't think the proposed model is so "unfair" that its negatives outweigh its positives, but obviously to each their own. Your view is hardly unreasonable.
Also, your hypothetical conference isn't what they've done, and with a cap/reverse order of standings draft, no I don't even see your hypothetical conference dominating. Toronto hasn't won a cup in nearly 50 years. The Rags have one in 94, and before that, 1940. Boston hadn't won in 30 years prior to 2011. Philly is at nearly 40. Those places are hockey-mad, phenomenal markets, but particularly in the current economic structure, not guaranteed of success.
slappybrown wrote: Hammer's complaint -- and to use his hypothetical -- is that in a world where PGH and PHI are top 2 in the East, they shouldn't play until the conference finals. In a divisional world, they play in the second round instead. Sorry?
see, i think that matters quite a bit, actually.
Fair enough. It has consequences, no doubt (in this hypothetical world where chalk holds, less playoff revenue compared to what one might otherwise have chief among them). I think the benefits -- primarily increased viewership and TV money where there is a significantly higher chance of seeing PIT v. PHI, NYR v. PHI, TOR v. DET, LA v. ANA, EDM v. CGY, the matchups that guarantee heat and eyeballs -- outweigh the decreased "fairness" and potential lost tickets. I personally root for us to play one of our traditional rivals every year, no matter what, so far fans like me, it also has that intangible value.
i'll take "path of least resistance" over "rivalry" any day.
The current model isn't the "path of least resistance" though. Such a model has never been used.
Nor is yours. And if the Penguins were in an easier division, surely my opinion would be different. I'm not even sure I'm right and you're wrong in the cost-benefit analysis.
My hypo was an extreme example to show why my argument matters. They've not done that, which suggests to "fairness" costs are lower than I present, bolstering your assessment of that trade-off.
well i don't like the current model either. i like it better than the proposed one, but that's not much of a compliment.
What would you propose shmenguin?
Rylan wrote: What would you propose shmenguin?
east and west are still split apart for the playoffs and there are still 6 total divisions. each conference is still seeded 1-8, but division winners are not guaranteed a top 3 spot. by winning your division, you clinch a playoff birth and that's it. i would be ok if they didn't even get that, but for the sake of keeping all the regions at least a little engaged in the playoffs, i'll allow this allotted spot.
for "re-alignment", i'd move columbus to the SE, winnepeg to the northwest and minnesota to the central.
nothing earth-shattering here. detroit still gets a little screwed, but what can you do?
I agree that if the league kept the current proposal, the division winner gets a berth but nothing more -- not a guaranteed 1-3 seed.
I hate the automatic top 3.
That encourages a team to be just better than the rest of their division, but not necessarily to be good.
Plus the 6th seed playing a weak #3 is pure BS.
I agree about division winners automatically getting the top 3 seeds. Other than that, there isn't really much to complain about with the current playoff format. This whole thing seems to be about appeasing Detroit.
You guys are all making good points about the issues i agree with most of you, but no one is putting forth a solution that fixes these imbalance issues. With this set up (4 division) its just not easy.
I think you if you go with 4 divisions make one 8 teams and one 7 teams. Teams 1-4 in the 8 team get in 1-3 in the 7th team div. get it the last spot is by points. If the last team comes from a 8th team div. (5th place) they just cross over to the other div. for the first 2 rounds.
This would be intense cause tech. a team from our division could come out of the other division as the playoff winner.
This sounds complex but it makes it some what equal. But still no way perfect. There just isn't a easy way to do this.
Been reading articles on this all morning to see what the latest is and.... Alot of articles say the players will reject this new alignment on the same principal that the inbalanced divisions isn't fair. Also several GMs are unhappy with their placement.

Players are probably going to reject it. They need to make it 7-8 on each side until expansion.
Tampa Bay and Florida are the two teams with major issues with the realignment. I'm not sure why they can't get this right, it really isn't rocket science.
Keep it the way it is...slide Nashville or Columbus into the SE division.
I'm sorry Detroit, but the travel idea gets dumped on because you are playing 1 and 1 outside your conference now. So, you are only traveling 1 time zone most of the time (outside Colorado).
I think they are better going with the confrence set up (top 3 are in) with 4 wild cards getting in. You only move teams in the 5th seed who go in. If its in another time zone or really far away you play a 2-3-2 series to limit travel.
Phila. would play LA in the first round playing a 2-3-2 series. The other 2 divisions had their top 3 make it and their 4th place teams made it in with the most points. THis would also make it fair for teams in the 8th team confrences.
Penguins will be in an 8-team division with Philadelphia, Rangers, Islanders, Devils, Columbus, Carolina and Washington next season.
Any word on the playoff system that will be used?? I like thew 4 big divisions, but i don't like the 8 team divisions will be harfer to make the playoffs.
Boooooo. I don't like this.
Best possible scenario for Pens. They stay in same division and add another competitive rival (Caps) and a potential geographic rival (Jackets).
Krom wrote: Best possible scenario for Pens. They stay in same division and add another competitive rival (Caps) and a potential geographic rival (Jackets).
How many rivals do you need though? Over the course of an 82 game season having rivalry games is going to take a ton out of a team. And yes i know the other guys have to do it too, but i dunno. Either every game is going to be so emotionally charged it'll be destramental to a team, or the matchups will just get watered down.
How? TB/FLA in the north & Detroit/Chicago rivalry is dead. They are morons.
How many times will we play each division opponent? 4?
Because they are playing the other conference teams home and home, right?
What was it like back in the early 90s? I totally forget.

Seated in his room at the India International Centre (IIC) in New Delhi, Chetan Bhagat carefully takes apart a foil-wrapped sandwich, eating just one slice. "No mayonnaise," the best-selling writer says. Diet and maintaining his weight are just a few of the constants in Bhagat's life, which has recently been in a state of flux. A few months back, he shifted from his long-time publisher Rupa to Amazon-Westland. His upcoming book, The Girl in Room 105, is a thriller, very unlike his usual fare of simplistic yet engaging love stories and signature slice-of-life tales that resonated with millions.
The IIC, the bastion of the Indian intellectual liberal, is another constant in his life. It was where Bhagat always chose to stay in Delhi, and his favourite venue for book releases; the latter was a statement for all those who refused to recognise his standing as a writer. In keeping with traditions, the launch of his new book has been set for October—his releases usually happen around Dussehra, the festival season. The book is being marketed differently, with ample stress on the digital. Hence, a mini-movie promo of the book, blockbuster style, was shot by Mohit Suri, featuring actor Vikrant Massey. "A lot of the youngsters are on Instagram, and it is a way to attract them and bring them back to books,'' says Bhagat.
Coming face-to-face with the hurt caused by the prejudices is what inspired him to write the book. While interviewing for a private MBA school, says Bhagat, a young Kashmiri Muslim boy told him in a matter-of-fact manner that he was Kashmiri, but "not a terrorist''. Says the author, "It was fine with him, which is what makes it sadder. In college, his nickname was terrorist." It is this kind of mindset, ingrained deep, that Bhagat hopes to be able to change with his book.

Q: How to prevent OneLogin Protect android app v4.3.0 from crashing?
DISCLAIMER
I'm opening this Q&A because:

*

*I've tried contacting OneLogin through Twitter without success

*I can't fill a bug without a Developer Account (which I don't want)

*They clearly state in their site to ask on Stackoverflow when seeing weird errors:

THE PROBLEM
In my company, we're using the OneLogin Protect as 2FA (OTP) device for accessing a partner VPN.
On December 10, 2019, OneLogin released the version 4.3.0 of its app, which our smartphones automatically updated from the previous 4.1.0, which was fully working.
The 4.3.0 app crashes when starting, with a miserable NPE:

THE ATTEMPTS AND THE QUESTIONS
I've reinstalled it, reinstalled the previous version (which got updated again), disabled the automatic updates (which is not something I'm happy about), but this is so fragile, so I'm asking:

*

*Is this happening to us only, or it's a huge production bug?

*Is there any way to fix it?

*Are you guys at OneLogin aware of this? Are you working on it? Have you a release date for a patched version?

Hint: the problem is in the Kotlin file Utils.kt, row 42. Sanitize the input, for God sake

A: The bug has been found and fixed and a new version has been posted to the Play Store. If you update, look for version 4.3 (187) or higher.

The Bones Of What You Believe https://www.brutalresonance.com/review/chvrches-the-bones-of-what-you-believe/ Synthpop CHVRCHES Steven Gullotta Gaining a following and recognition for a band can be extremely hard in any sense. I mean, just look at how many musicians are out and about, trying to make a name for themselves. Some fail, some don't, and some don't even breach fame past their local area. However, that's not to say that some don't shoot for the stars and make it there. Because, if anything, Chvrches has proved that you can make it big in a short span of time. This young Scottish trio has gained international success, attracting a moderate following and cranking out music that slaps you straight back to the eighties. Each member of this band has their own unique talents, whether its Lauren Mayberry's sweet vocals flowing through each of the songs, Iain Cook providing his excellent and emotional guitar work to the music, or Martin Doherty applying genuine synths, the trio is not complete without one another. And I am so glad to catch on early to this rising act. Starting in 2011, the trio recorded several demos. The success was good; so good, in fact, that they decided to form Chvrches. Not having any religious connotations, the V replaced the U just so internet searches wouldn't lead to something other than them. And it's a unique and memorable name to keep through their hopefully long career. And, well, two years later, they released their debut album, The Bones of What You Believe. And, this is a powerful album in every sense of the word. I kid you not, Mayberry's vocals are something that can inspire dreams; listen to her sing often enough, and you might be inspired just to write a full length novel. This is immediately apparent with their wonderful and successful hit single The Mother We Share. Her voice shines through like a ray of sunshine on a miserable day. There's no way not to smile when listening to this song; it just has a gigantically positive energy ebbing off of it. But, even when her voice subsides and one of the male vocalists take over, the songs still sound fascinating. Under the Tide is one such instance, which takes a quiet and less pop approach, but still manages to build up and leave an impact on your soul. And what makes this song ever more magical would be the dual talents of both the lead singer and the man presented within the song. It's enough to bring a tear to a baby's eye. The music itself is just gorgeous. It's extremely uplifting in every sense of the word, with the synths ranging from hard to soft, but, no matter what, each and every song is still soothing. You can jump between any song on the list and I swear to you that you'll enjoy each minute of the whole album. Not only that, but, in the Special Edition, you are given an extra four tracks to play with, two of which are remixes. The remixes still stick within the styling of Chvrches, but never quite make as much of a hit as the original songs do. Needless to say, they were still enjoyable in their own sense. And, well, there's just so much good to say about this album that it's hard to stop talking about it. I can say that Chvrches has made me a fan. Normally, I wouldn't find myself listening to music such as this, but there's room for change in every human being. And I'm honored to say that I'll be listening and relistening to this album for ages to come. February 5, 2014 https://www.brutalresonance.com/review/chvrches-the-bones-of-what-you-believe/ 550

And, well, two years later, they released their debut album, The Bones of What You Believe. And, this is a powerful album in every sense of the word. I kid you not, Mayberry's vocals are something that can inspire dreams; listen to her sing often enough, and you might be inspired just to write a full length novel. This is immediately apparent with their wonderful and successful hit single The Mother We Share. Her voice shines through like a ray of sunshine on a miserable day. There's no way not to smile when listening to this song; it just has a gigantically positive energy ebbing off of it.
But, even when her voice subsides and one of the male vocalists take over, the songs still sound fascinating. Under the Tide is one such instance, which takes a quiet and less pop approach, but still manages to build up and leave an impact on your soul. And what makes this song ever more magical would be the dual talents of both the lead singer and the man presented within the song. It's enough to bring a tear to a baby's eye.
The music itself is just gorgeous. It's extremely uplifting in every sense of the word, with the synths ranging from hard to soft, but, no matter what, each and every song is still soothing. You can jump between any song on the list and I swear to you that you'll enjoy each minute of the whole album.
Not only that, but, in the Special Edition, you are given an extra four tracks to play with, two of which are remixes. The remixes still stick within the styling of Chvrches, but never quite make as much of a hit as the original songs do. Needless to say, they were still enjoyable in their own sense.
And, well, there's just so much good to say about this album that it's hard to stop talking about it. I can say that Chvrches has made me a fan. Normally, I wouldn't find myself listening to music such as this, but there's room for change in every human being. And I'm honored to say that I'll be listening and relistening to this album for ages to come.

I've been writing for Brutal Resonance since November of 2012 and now serve as the editor-in-chief. I love the dark electronic underground and usually have too much to listen to at once but I love it. I am also an editor at Aggressive Deprivation, a digital/physical magazine since March of 2016. I support the scene as much as I can from my humble laptop.

As manager of a local bar, The Corral, Sharlie Montgomery has put the past behind her. That is until Logan Reed walks back into her life, turning her world upside down. His presence brings back painful reminders of the past: the love they once shared, the money he took from her father, and the baby she gave up for adoption.
Logan wants to buy The Corral, and he's come back to town to prove he's made it on his own without the Montgomery money. Sparks fly whenever Sharlie and Logan are together. Anger, fear, and jealousy aren't enough to erase the love they once felt for each other. But is love enough? Logan wants a family—the one thing Sharlie can't give him.
