Abstract Background Whole genome sequencing techniques have added a new dimension to studies on bacterial adaptation, evolution and diversity in chronic infections. By using this powerful approach it was demonstrated that Pseudomonas aeruginosa undergoes intense genetic adaptation processes, crucial in the development of persistent disease. The challenge ahead is to identify universal infection relevant adaptive bacterial traits as potential targets for the development of alternative treatment strategies. Results We developed a microarray-based method applicable for discovery of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in P. aeruginosa as an easy and economical alternative to whole genome sequencing. About 50% of all SNPs theoretically covered by the array could be detected in a comparative hybridization of PAO1 and PA14 genomes at high specificity (> 0.996). Variations larger than SNPs were detected at much higher sensitivities, reaching nearly 100% for genetic differences affecting multiple consecutive probe oligonucleotides. The detailed comparison of the in silico alignment with experimental hybridization data lead to the identification of various factors influencing sensitivity and specificity in SNP detection and to the identification of strain specific features such as a large deletion within the PA4684 and PA4685 genes in the Washington Genome Center PAO1. Conclusion The application of the genome array as a tool to identify adaptive mutations, to depict genome organizations, and to identify global regulons by the "ChIP-on-chip" technique will expand our knowledge on P. aeruginosa adaptation, evolution and regulatory mechanisms of persistence on a global scale and thus advance the development of effective therapies to overcome persistent disease.

Brad Pitt Just Responded to Those Jennifer Aniston Dating Rumors & We're Shook

Awards season is upon us, and that means many of today's hottest celebrities will all be in the same room. And yes, that includes celebrity exes, too. But never fear—Brad Pitt responded to Jennifer Aniston dating rumors at the 2020 Golden Globes, and we finally have an answer to if they're back together.
Pitt and Aniston were married for five years before splitting in 2005. Since then, fans of the former couple have consistently wondered if the pair would ever reunite—or, if not reunite, at leasts reconcile. And luckily, it seems Aniston and Pitt are friendly and happy to see each other tonight. "I'll run into Jen, she's a good friend," the 56-year-old actor told Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet. "The second most important reunion of her year? I understand! That was a play on Friends. They were saying that." So there you have it, Jen is simply a "friend," and it doesn't look like she and Brad are back together.
Both Aniston and Pitt are nominated for Golden Globes for their stellar performances in TV and film this year. Aniston was nominated for her role as Alex Levy in Apple TV+'s hit dramatic series, The Morning Show. She lost the award to Olivia Coleman for The Crown, but the Friends alum still looked stunning and is surrounded by some of her best friends, including Ellen Degeneres and Reese Witherspoon. So despite her "loss" we'd say tonight is 100 percent a "win" for the actress.
Pitt reunited with Leo DiCaprio to introduce their Golden Globe nominated film, Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood. The Fight Club star received a supporting actor nomination and WON for his role in Quentin Tarantino's latest film. He began his speech with "holy moly," and nothing will ever be more relatable. He then joked that he wanted to bring his mom to the Golden Globes, but that any woman he stands next to, people think he's dating them. The crowd laughed at the joke, which even earned Pitt a smile from Aniston. (Shoutout to the cameraman who perfectly timed filming Aniston as Pitt referenced his dating life).

When this year's nominees were announced, people were quick to wonder what a reunion between Pitt and Aniston might look like in such a public environment. Both arrived at Sunday night's red carpet within minutes of each other but reportedly did not see one another before heading inside.
"Jen and Brad are friends and occasionally connect," a source told Us Weekly exclusively following the announcement that both stars were nominated at the Globes. "There's no chance that a potential run-in between Jen and Brad will be tense or uncomfortable." We're not entirely surprised. Pitt attended Aniston's 50th birthday celebration a few months ago. He also attended her holiday party. So yeah—it seems like they're absolutely on good terms. TG!

Q: How to run a Node app (NextJS) on gcloud from github? I have followed these steps:

*

*I installed `Google Cloud Build app on Github, linked it to Cloud Build and configured it to use a certain repository (a private one)

*I set up a trigger at Cloud Build: Push to any branch

*the project has no app instances after deploying (App Engine -> Dashboard)

My cloudbuild.yarml looks like this:
steps:
  - name: 'gcr.io/cloud-builders/gcloud'
    args: ['app', 'deploy', '--project=project-name', '--version=$SHORT_SHA']

If I try to run the trigger manually: I get this error in Google Cloud:

unable to get credentials for cloud build robot

I have also tried to set IAM roles based on this article but using @cloudbuild.gserviceaccount.com doesn't seem to be a valid "member" (perhaps I need two projects, one for running and one for building the app?)
How do I fill the gaps / fixes the errors mentioned?

A: It seems the error message looking for credential that has the required permission. From the article that you are following, in the step #4, don't add manually the Service Account for Cloud Build. Check if you enable the Cloud Build API in your project, if the API is disabled try to enable. It will automatically create the Service Account for Cloud Build and look likes this:

[PROJECT_NUMBER]@cloudbuild.gserviceaccount.com

Once the service account is created, go to Cloud Build  > Setting page and enable the required roles for you application.

As one of the oldest franchises - that's right! - Champs offers a multitude of options when it comes to watching your team play. With several locations in the city Champs is a great choice when it comes to major (and even minor!) international and local sporting events. Naturally though, their most important draw is football - after all, we are in Hungary.
It is one of the newest additions to the sports bar scene, and while it is on the Buda side, do not let the location discourage you. In fact, the nearby lake provides a welcome escape from the rushes of the city. Also, if you like a certain London based, red-and-white football club, this is the place to be on matchday. You are welcome.
Established just after the fall of communism, John Bull is alltime classic in the city. You have live sports here all day round, catered to the international (well, mostly Brits that is) crowds that frequent this living legend of a pub. The beer is great, location likewise, atmosphere always a classic!
Once you are finished with your match of the day, you can always catch a beer bike tour! As the largest providers in the city, Beer Bike Budapest has something going on all year round, every day! Give us a call or book online for the easiest convenience!


Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you have given, Mr Mayor.

He felt loved and accepted as a gay man in his UMC congregation for 14 years until February, when he said he "basically left."
At UMC's General Conference that month, the denomination had voted for the Traditional Plan: clergy would not marry LGBTQ couples, and regional conferences would not ordain "self-avowed practicing" LGBTQ clergy. Although that's the view UMC has held since its formation, churches and conferences have long disregarded the rule.
UMC churches in Charlotte span different views, some fully supporting LGBTQ marriage and others maintaining that it's sinful. Self-identifying "progressive" churches say God's love and inclusion call them to fully accept LGBTQ marriage and clergy. Self-proclaimed "traditional" churches say including LGBTQ-identifying congregants does not mean supporting their marriage.
In the months following the February ruling, many conferences and churches have quietly or openly opposed the decision. Some Charlotte pastors married LGBTQ couples before the ruling. Rev. Valerie Rosenquist and Rev. Michelle Chappell, lead pastors of First United Methodist Church and Dilworth United Methodist Church respectively, say they're open to doing it again.
Still, several Charlotte congregants distanced themselves from UMC churches, temporarily or permanently.
Simmons was one of them. But after he left, First United Methodist Church pastors and members reached out to ask him back. Eventually, he returned to the church, again seeing the rainbow LGBTQ posters on its walls and pride flags near its stairwell.
Rulings and Reactions
The Traditional Plan approved during the 2019 General Conference upheld the UMC standard of banning LGBTQ marriage and clergy. It also added consequences for disobedience, which will go in effect on Jan. 1, 2020.
After one offense, clergy would be suspended without pay for a year. On the second offense, they would lose credentials.
"This is the traditional plan with teeth. Do we want to be in the punishment business? I don't think so," said the Rev. James Howell, lead pastor at Myers Park United Methodist Church.
Alternatively, Good Shepherd Church lead pastor the Rev. Talbot Davis said the decision just reaffirms "the same positive message" the UMC has always held. "We've been in support of what UMC believes. We're not the outlier, we're the United Methodists."
At a conference in June, the Western North Carolina Conference officially rejected the Traditional Plan. However, that decision does not change the consequences for marrying LGBTQ couples.
'A matter of how we interpret the Bible'
The Bible has verses about LGBTQ relationships: Jude 1:7, 1 Timothy 1:10, 1 Corinthians 6:9...
Other verses are about love and acceptance: James 4:12, John 8:7-11, Galatians 5:14...
"It's a matter of how we interpret the Bible," Howell said.
He said he's read over 50 books and 100 blog posts on the topic. He talks about it with his congregation. He said most Myers Park congregants are centrist, but there are some progressives and conservatives.
"We are trying to be a big tent church. That's hard for everybody," Howell said.
As a delegate at the General Conference, Howell voted for a plan that would allow each church to choose whether to marry LGBTQ couples. When that vote failed, Howell wished he had "a fake wig and mustache to camouflage the embarrassment," he said in a March article for United Methodist Insight.
Across town, the staff at Good Shepherd Church felt peaceful and clear that the Bible forbids LGBTQ marriage, Davis said. They don't think it's God's design.
The Rev. Talbot Davis is pastor of Charlotte's Good Shepherd Church, a United Methodist church in Steele Creek. In the debate within his denomination over same-sex marriage, he takes a traditionalist stand. He says the Bible and longtime Methodist teaching support marriage between a man and a woman only. David T. Foster III dtfoster@charlotteobserver.com
"Jesus affirms heterosexual marriage. God has already decided," said Brooke Presley, their children's ministry leader.
The church is very straightforward about their stance against LGBTQ marriage, Davis said. The decision had little impact other than a quiet buzz among the congregants.
For Dilworth United Methodist Church and First United Methodist Church, the opposite was clear. Restricting LGBTQ marriage was equivalent to denying congregants full inclusion in the church, said Chappell and Rosenquist.
Rosenquist, who is the lead pastor at First United Methodist Church, said that denying LGBTQ marriage would give a message of "lack of inclusivity and lack of tolerance." She believes that goes against God's message of love.
"Not only do we welcome you, but we offer you full rights and privilege," Chappell said.

Possible split
Groups like Reconciling Ministries Network and Sacred Witness NC push for progressive change within the denomination. Some progressive congregants at Myers Park UMC started a group called In God's Image where they discuss pain they felt following the Traditional Plan ruling.
Still, church leaders anticipate a schism in the denomination. But it would be painful, Rosenquist said. Churches may lose property. It could disrupt pension plans. It could fracture congregants' family heritage at a church or cemetery.
The UMC denomination has talked about creating separate branches: one more traditional and the other more progressive, said the Rev. Amy Coles, the Western North Carolina Conference bishop's assistant.
Whatever the separation, Howell said he hopes it will be "amicable."
The "kingdom is about what we share, the redemptive love of Christ from creation and forever, and being Christ's body, not what divides us," he said in a June article for United Methodist Insight.

I have worked with Mark Brand Architecture on several projects from 2010 to present. I hired the company in 2010 in order to build a state of the art dental office from a raw space, the end result was incredible. The budget was accurate, the deadlines were spot on and his team conducted themselves with professional conduct and amazing attitudes.
I have continued to work with Mark on several other projects including my personal residence.
Mark did an amazing job on our home in Sonoma. What was a fairly traditional ranch house was transformed into a California/Italian villa! It was a big project. We more than doubled our living space and created many, many outdoor places to entertain, relax and enjoy the views.
I would use Mark Brand Architecture again in a heartbeat.
We loved working with Mark and his team when we remodeled our home in Mill Valley. They listened to our input, challenging appropriately when needed, and incorporating what we then jointly agreed upon in the design. Mark's team brought numerous good suggestions to the project.
I hired Mark Brand Architecture to design the remodel for my house in San Francisco. His design brought much needed light into the interior of the house. The remodel was extensive and Mark and his staff gave me a lot of help during the remodel, especially when it came to working around or through problems that the old structure of the house posed which included working with the engineers he helped me find.
San Francisco Contemporary Architect Mark Brand has been an amazing find. Mark Brand and his team of professional architects have provided creative and insightful architecture in a thorough and timely manner. If you are looking for a San Francisco Bay Area-based contemporary architect, I would absolutely recommend you contact Mark Brand Architecture.
I would recommend Mark to anyone needing a first-rate architect without hesitation. I hired Mark as the architect for the remodel of my house. I had very particular objectives with respect to design and aesthetics, and aimed to achieve a traditional Japanese design with modern Western elements. My house is tiny, so making smart use of small space was crucial to success, as was managing contractors and navigating the permit process.


It is no secret that people replace heat radiator in Peugeot, as well as in other car models, in the cold season to heat and dry the car.
if all of the above is fine, the heat radiator is most likely to be clogged with various sediments and oxides, so it needs to be replaced.
You should replace the heat radiator in a warm room, as kneeling in front of the car in freezing weather brings no satisfaction. However, the good news is that you do not need to remove the cowl, as the part is replaced on the driver side near the accelerator pedal.
it is necessary to remove the side plastic plate; to do this, you need the T20 screwdriver; the screw is hidden behind the second plastic plate that is located along the tunnel; you need to bend it and to unscrew the screw.
remove the plate that is located over all the pedals and that is easily removed.
now you have access to the heat radiator and should unscrew four screws.
prepare the container for antifreeze drained and pumped from the pipes.
It is necessary to open the lid of the expansion tank and close it again for excessive pressure output.
remove clamp parks from radiator tubes.
carefully remove the nearest and longest tube of the heat radiator and slowly pump out all the antifreeze freely flowing.
after removing all the antifreeze remove the clamps of the shorter tube.
unscrew the screw from the clamp of the plastic mount of two tubes located near the accelerator pedal.
bend the tubes to the sides and remove the heat radiator.
install the new radiator and assembly it in the reverse order.
Be very attentive to what antifreeze you use to operate your car, as this is very important for the interior radiator. It is not recommended to mix different types of cooling liquid, otherwise, when mixing they can make bubbles and leave sediments on the inner walls of the heat radiator, as well as on the entire cooling system, including the main radiator located under the hood.
After replacing the heat radiator you need to upgrade the cooling system.
Peugeot cars are very popular with many people around the world. The first reason is that such cars are notable for their security, beautiful design and functionality. However, owners of Peugeot face the necessity of servicing the car. It does not prove that these cars are insecure. The point is that the planned maintenance and service of the car are necessary due to the improper operation of the car. One of the common procedures is the replacement of the Peugeot radiator. It should be also noted that you can do this with your own hands, but you need to understand the technical complexity of the vehicle.

Imre Lengyel (ur. 24 kwietnia 1977 w Budapeszcie) – węgierski skoczek do wody, trzykrotny medalista mistrzostw Europy, trzykrotny medalista uniwersjady, dwukrotny olimpijczyk (Atlanta, Sydney).

Przebieg kariery
Zadebiutował w 1994 roku, biorąc udział w mistrzostwach świata rozgrywanych w Rzymie, gdzie zajął 22. pozycję w konkurencji skoku z wieży. Dwa lata później wystąpił na igrzyskach olimpijskich w Atlancie, w ramach których wystartował w konkurencji skoku z trampoliny 3 m i zajął 17. pozycję, uzyskując w półfinale łączną notę 551,25 pkt. W 1997 został dwukrotnym złotym medalistą uniwersjady, w konkurencji skoku z trampoliny z wysokości zarówno 1, jak i 3 m. Na mistrzostwach świata w Perth (rozegranych w 1998 roku) zajął 4. pozycję w konkurencji skoku z trampoliny z wysokości 3 m. W 1999 został wicemistrzem Europy w skoku z trampoliny 3 m.

W drugim (i ostatnim) występie olimpijskim, który miał miejsce w Sydney, również wystąpił jedynie w konkurencji skoku z trampoliny 3 m (ind.) i z wynikiem 390,87 pkt zajął 11. pozycję. Na uniwersjadzie w Pekinie sięgnął po trzeci medal imprezy tej rangi, tym razem brąz w konkurencji skoku z trampoliny 1 m. W 2002 roku zdobył dwa srebrne medale mistrzostw Europy w konkurencji skoku z wieży z wysokości 10 m – zarówno indywidualnie, jak i w duecie.

strength of materials measurement in engineering of the capacity of metal, wood, concrete, and other materials to withstand stress and strain.
Materials are considered to be elastic in relation to an applied stress if the strain disappears after the force is removed.
Effect of hole diameter, hole distance from the edge, and material properties on lateral pin holding strength of medium density fiberboard and particleboard.
Some of the materials used in engineering, notably timber and wrought iron, are 1 P o far from being isotropic that their strength is widely different for stresses in different directions.
Owing to the plasticity of the materials to be tested, the applied loads must be able to follow considerable change of form in the test-piece: thus in testing the tensile strength of wrought iron or steel provision must be made for taking up the large extension of length which occurs before fracture.
The material of a beam is disposed to the greatest advantage as regards resistance to bending when the form is that of a pair of flanges or booms at top and bottom, held apart by a thin but stiff web or by cross-bracing, as in I beams and braced trusses.
In calculating the dimensions of materials required for specific application, the engineer uses working stresses that are ultimate strengths, or elastic limits, divided by a quantity called factor of safety.
In laboratories materials are frequently "tested to destruction." They are deliberately overloaded with the particular force that acts against the property or strength to be measured.
Strength of materials is the scientific area of materials science for the study of the strength of engineering materials and their mechanical behavior in general (such as stress, deformation, strain and stress-strain relations).
Strength is considered in terms of compressive strength, tensile strength, and shear strength, namely the limit states of compressive stress, tensile stress and shear stress respectively.
Compressive strength is a limit state of compressive stress that leads to compressive failure in the manner of ductile failure (infinite theoretical yield) or in the manner of brittle failure (rupture as the result of crack propagation, or sliding among a weak plane - see shear strength).
Ultimate Strength.—The ultimate strength of a material with regard to any stated mode of stress is the stress required to produce rupture.
breaks under a uniformly distributed pull of 6o tons, the ultimate tensile strength of the material is reckoned to be 30 tons per square inch, although the actual intensity of stress which produced rupture may have been much greater than this, owing to the contraction of the section previous to fracture.
Influence of Time.—In testing a plastic material such as wrought-iron or mild steel it is found that the behaviour of the metal depends very materially on the time rate at which stress is applied.
For a given material, the ratio of stress to strain is known as Young's modulus of elasticity.
This is not the same as the strength of a material, which is the stress needed to break it.
The main variables behind fractures of tensed materials are the fracture energy, the strain energy available, and the size and shape of the worst crack in the material.
In this test, the equivalent strength of the perforated material is used in place of the strength of the solid material.
By evaluating the effect of the perforations on the yield strength of the material, S*, can be obtained as a function of the yield strength of the solid or unperforated material, S. Thus, the designer is able to determine safety margins for the perforated material for any geometry of application and any loading conditions.
Strength of materials perforated with round holes in a standard pattern, where strength is defined as yield strength of perforated material/yield strength of unperforated material.
This implied that the material properties of composite materials may be different in tension and in compression as well as in bending.
One quick way to estimate the material properties, i.e., the moduli in 1 and 2 direction of a composite is by using the rule of mixture.
The term "composite material" can be broadly defined as the resultant of combining two or more materials, each of which has their own unique properties, to form one new material.

Furthermore, the strength and conditioning exercises were Japanese Symbol for Strength and strength trainingoccupational therapy in their attitude towards the professional strength flea treatment.
Compressive strength for materials is generally higher than that of the tensile stress, but geometry is very important in the analysis of compressive stresses.
Ultimate strength is an attribute directly related to a material, rather than just specific specimen of the material, and as such is quoted force per unit of cross section area (N/m²).
The material we used, indium gallium arsenide, is a brittle, weak crystal.
Apart from the obvious interest in high strength at high temperature, another application of these results may be in coating technology.
Many engineering materials require coatings to protect them from the environment (such as paint, or enamel, or oxide ceramics) which often fail because they are brittle.
Statics and Strength of Materials (the latter also known as Mechanics of Materials) are branches of (classical) mechanics.
Strength of materials deals with the stresses in a body and deformation of a body that result from applied forces.
Material said to be linearly elastic because loading and unloading stress-strain curves are linear and coincident.
Covers a broad range of topics not usually included in a one-semester Statics and Strength of Materials course, e.g.- Belt friction, stress concentrations, Mohrs circle of stress, moment-area theorems, centroids by integration, area moments of inertia by integration, elastic-inelastic behavior, inelastic bending of beams, statically indeterminate beams and square threaded screws.
The fourth edition of Applied Statics and Strength of Materials presents an elementary, analytical, and practical approach to the principles and physical concepts of statics and strength of materials.
This fourth edition was prepared with the objective of updating the content where necessary and rearranging and revising some of the material to enhance the teaching aspects of the text.
Strength in materials doesn't just refer to the inherent strength of the high performance materials we produce everyday.
In fact, that is only a small part of the strengths we provide to our customers and to the end use markets that we serve.
The New AGY has built its strength in materials strategy around three key components, being a materials solutions provider, a strong customer focus and creating and motivating a world class team.
The objective of the strength of materials lab.
is to demonstrate the basic principles in the area of strength and mechanics of materials and structural analysis to the undergraduate students through a series of experiments.
Tests such as the tension tests of a steel coupon, torsion of model circular sections and bending of a steel bar are conducted in the lab.
Strength of materials (also known as mechanics of materials) is that branch of classical mechanics which deals with the static response of solid bodies under the action of applied forces.
A better approach is to develop some fundamental principles that govern the strength and rigidity of all solid bodies and use these principles in combination with a few experimentally determined mechanical properties of materials to predict how a body responds under the action of forces.
Assumed all along material homogeneous and isotropic, that is, mechanical properties do not vary with position and direction in material.
DSP technology makes it possible to manufacture cement-based materials with strength and durability five to ten times greater than that for mortar and concrete.
The binding material in conventional concrete and mortar consists of cement with a relatively large amount of water and is therefore rather porous.
In Densit® materials, the use of DSP technology, with its ultra-fine powders, reduces the waster content of the binding material to an absolute minimum.
The goal is to develop a simple inventory to measure mastery of fundamental strength of materials (SOM) concepts such as stress, strain and buckling.
Although a copy of the strength of materials inventory is not available, information about its development can be obtained by contacting either Jim Richardson, Civil Engineering Department, University of Alabama, or Jim Morgan, Civil Engineering Department, Texas AandM University.
We have given Version 3 to 60 SOM students and 60 students in follow-on courses at the beginning of the Fall semester of the 2001-02 academic year.
The Placemat Strength Training Program is designed to maintain or improve muscular strength and endurance in older adults.
Muscular strength and endurance are necessary to be able to take care of personal, household, social, and daily needs and maintain independence.
The exercises are designed to improve upper and lower body strength necessary in transferring and ambulation, thereby increasing safety, decreasing falls, and increasing hip strength.
This is changing as materials continue to improve and molders…emerges.
High-strength materials are becoming more common in stamping, especially for the aircraft and space industries.
Although all high-strength materials have their own special features and behave in their own unique ways, they also share some common characteristics and typical reactions to stretching and drawing.
Extra material outside of a finished part increases the amount of stretch that occurs in a product, and it leaves a large amount of stress-loaded material outside of the drawn part.
The ultimate compressive strength for concrete is about 20 MPa.
Recall that flexural stress is a combination of compression on the inner concave surface and tension on the outer convex surface.
Since concrete is very weak in ultimate tensile strength (only about 2 MPa), a concrete wall cannot bulge or flex very much before it cracks.
The first is what type of material the object is made of, while the second is how much of this material there is.
Magic is required to increase the hardness of a material, however this is often unstable and may fade after time.
Since materials on FyrWorld have a hardness value from one to twenty, a player could roll a 1d20 to determine what or who gets damaged.
Material Properties: Strength of Material - Simple Compression Studies, Plasticity and Adiabatic Shear Bands, Metastable Phases, Phase-Change Measurements, Rear-Surface Studies etc.
A Study on Controlled Low Strength Material - The aim of this research is to address CLSM's engineering properties and chemical resistance.
Strength of Materials Video - Learning strengths has never been easier than with streaming video.

Webinar Recap: Best Practices for Managing Funding Opportunities at Medical Schools and Health Science Centers
Sarah Yecke
How do medical schools and medical research centers use InfoReady Review™ to manage their internal funding opportunities? In a recent webinar, we invited Laura Hessler (Program Manager) and Jill Jividen (Assistant Director) from the Office of Research at the University of Michigan Medical School (UMMS) and Lisa Youngentob (Director, Research Development) from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) to share best practices around these processes.
The University of Michigan is unique in that they have nearly 20 standalone instances of InfoReady Review™ used across different colleges, schools, centers, and institutes. Laura and Jill work mostly within the UMMS site, which facilitates internal funding processes, limited submissions, and a variety of award programs. The opportunities they manage are also shared widely across campus with cross-promotion on the various instances of InfoReady Review™ to direct potential applicants to the right place. Any UMich user is able to log in with their institutional credentials to any site, making the application and review processes familiar for users.
Collaboration is especially necessary in the limited submissions process, where UMMS works closely with the central Office of Research (UMOR). Administrators use templates in InfoReady Review™ to quickly post scaled-down versions of the sponsor's application. After the review process is complete in InfoReady Review™ and final selections have been determined, UMMS enters the final decisions in InfoReady Review™ and uses the system to email all pertinent stakeholders about next steps and resources to help refine the final submission to the sponsoring organization.
Jill and Laura also highlighted the variety of reporting features in InfoReady Review™, specifically for pilot grants. Administrators can set up progress reports for awardees at the time of awarding, with scheduled reminders for 6 months or even a year or more in the future. The progress reports allow administrators to simplify the collection of results and outcomes through a standardized post-award process that automates their workflow and communication, even when the next action items for applicants are not until much later.
Bridge funding is another important process at UMMS, where a quick turnaround for the application and review process is critical. Administrators first ensure eligibility and accuracy of materials, using InfoReady Review™'s Return function to send comments and ask for re-submission. To expedite the review process, the application form includes a place for applicants to suggest peer reviewers, which are supplemented with members of the UMMS Biomedical Research Council, an internal peer review body.
Besides relying on an established pool of peer reviewers, Jill and Laura shared other strategies for finding and maintaining these critical players in the internal funding process. They try to limit the number of requests, especially for more complicated application processes, and they always get permission before assigning reviews in their InfoReady Review™ site. At the end of the year, they send thank you cards to express appreciation for reviewers' service. With so much of the process in online or digital format, a personal touch goes a long way.
Though Lisa Youngentob from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) uses InfoReady Review™ for many of the same processes as UMMS, she chose to focus on a specific seed grant program where she has used InfoReady Review™ in unique and creative ways. The Collaborative Research Network (CORNET) Awards is a collaborative intramural seed grant program.
Researchers are matched through an online questionnaire that is converted to a spreadsheet where potential collaborators can find each other and begin a conversation. Once they finalize their proposal topic, the UTHSC member of the team submits the application in InfoReady Review™. Lisa uses a pre-made CORNET template that only needs minor adjustments each cycle. She recommends requesting as much information as possible in the Applicant Requirement fields, even if it won't be needed until later in the review or post-award process. Lisa also includes eligibility confirmation questions in a "Yes or No" format with a tooltip pop-up informing applicants that a "No" make them ineligible. With this information, the PI knows immediately to stop filling out the proposal.
Once the applications have entered the review stage, each is assigned at least three reviewers. Similar to UMMS, UTHSC relies on a pool of reviewers that are invited by their Vice Chancellor for Research to participate in the process. They add to the reviewer pool by making reviewing future proposals a condition of accepting a CORNET Award. To mimic the familiar NIH rating process, Lisa uses a 1-9 rating scale for criteria (an added benefit is that applicants get accustomed to NIH-style reviews). She includes specific reviewer instructions to remind them of the scoring rubric directly at the top of the review form. In the final awarding process, Lisa updates each application as awarded or rejected in InfoReady Review™. To keep unfunded teams working together, the PIs are provided links to other funding opportunities that match their submitted CORNET proposals.
Lisa noted the transition to InfoReady Review™ has been smooth, especially now that there are so many repeat users in the system. In the future, UTHSC hopes to expand their use of the system to facilitate one-on-one sessions between faculty members and their grant consulting services partner, as well as routing faculty requests for various processes and services.
We want to thank Jill, Laura, and Lisa for sharing their insights on how InfoReady Review™ helps them facilitate internal funding processes at their respective institutions.

All times are UK (BST)
Premier League: Everton v Tottenham Hotspur
20.00 on Sky Sports Premier League & Main Event
Such is the financial muscle of the Premier League, here we are presented with the spectacle of two managers - Carlo Ancelotti and Jose Mourinho - who have won the Champions League a total of five times, scrapping it out to see who gets to take their team, next season, into UEFA's inaugural third-tier competition, the Europa Conference League. Both teams had periods of ascendency in the first half of the season but both appear to be running out of steam, ideas and luck, and in the process perhaps look more familiar to their fans. For both sides this game offers the opportunity to invigorate themselves for the run-in with a win against a notable scalp, but Spurs may be distracted by the thought of a Wembley trip - with fans - next weekend. We all know how Jose loves shiny things and winning any silverware will do much to placate an increasingly unhappy fan-base. It would also guarantee them that Conference League place. GS
FA Cup Semi-Final: Chelsea v Manchester City
17.30 on BBC One
Ok, who remembers the last time these two sides met at Wembley. Anyone? No. How about if I tell you it was the League Cup final two years ago, where the Chelsea goalkeeper, Kepa Arizabalaga refused to be substituted just minutes before the penatly shoot-out - which they lost. See, you do remember it. It was the only memorable thing from two goalless hours of football. Mauriizio Sarri was in charge of Chelsea that day and had he been allowed to bring on the 2016 penalty hero Willy Caballero maybe he could have stopped Pep acheiving a unique domestic treble. This time, that burden falls upon Thomas Tuchel, who after the humbling against West Brom, saw his side give a dominant display against Crystal Palace. That game allowed Chelsea fans, perhaps for the first time, to see the real Kai Havertz, and also be reminded of the talent that is Christian Pulisic. They both scored in the first ten minutes at Selhurst Park; let's hope someone can get an early goal in this one to prevent a turgid repeat of 2019. GS
Copa del Rey Final: Athletic Bilbao v Barcelona
20.30 on Premier Sports 1
So happy to see this game on the telly after having been denied the chance to watch the 2020 Basque derby final that took place at the beginning of this month. Athletic were the losers but have the chance to wipe away those fourteen days of hurt. The task ahead is huge in view of the quality of opposition. The Bilbao club's league form is indifferent with no wins in five league games but no losses either. But just because it's Barca it doesn't mean it's a foregone conclusion. Take note of what Jon and Terry said on the latest La Liga Weekly podcast: Barca haven't won the big games at this crucial stage of the season. They blew it against Cadiz in the league and again against Real in the Classico. And then they blew it big time against PSG in the Champions League. There could be no better opportunity for Athletic to claim a famous victory, a trophy, and wash away the heartbreak. TD
MLS: Los Angeles v Austin
23.00 on FreeSports
MLS returns for a new season, and with it a brand new team, Austin FC. The idea for an MLS franchise in Austin started in 2017 when Anthony Precourt, the owner of Columbus Crew, annouced he was going to relocate the club from Ohio to Texas. The opposition to the plan led to Crew being bought by the owner of the NFL team the Cleveland Browns (who themselves had been the victims of a controversial relocation) and remaining in Columbus. Meanwhile Precourt was given the opportunity to start a new team in Austin. While MLS East side Orlando City has its roots in Austin, there has never been a top-level professional team in the City for any sport. The fact that Austin's first major league franchise is a soccer team fits well with the city's reputation of being different and defying outsider's expectations of a city in Texas. Local interest appears very strong with demand for season tickets being double the 15,000 available. There's also been some online banter between the respective clubs' part-owners Will Ferrell and Matthew McConaughey that has added a little Hollywood sparkle to this season opener. GS
Bundesliga 2: Bochum v Hannover
After HSV's shock defeat to mid-table Darmstadt, last Friday, league leaders Bochum had the chance to take a potentially decisive seven-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga 2 table. But they too suffered a shock defeat to another mid-table side, Paderborn by the shocking scoreline of 3-0. In a league where shock results are not actually that shocking, that was pretty shocking. This hitherto unfancied team from the Ruhr have another chance to take the initiative on account of HSV's, match at Sandhausen being postponed because the home team is one of three Bundesliga 2 clubs that are isolating because of the 'rona. Of course, the backlog of fixtures will almost certainly lead to twice weekly action in the final weeks of the season where there will be shocks aplenty. Bochum can insulate themselves from further shocks by beating a Hannover side seemingly comfortable as a nondescript second-tier club. Unless of course... TD
Serie A: Atalanta v Juventus
With Inter doing what Juve usually do, winning ten games in a row in the third quarter of the season, the Old Lady's nine-year grip on the Scudetto is finally slipping. A busy summer awaits the giants of Turin, how busy could well depend on whether or not they can hold on to a Champions League place, which is far from guaranteed with five teams, including today's hosts, chasing realistic hopes of seizing one of the three remaining places. One decision Pirlo will will have to make is whether they hold on to Ronaldo or cash in as much as they can before the final year of his eye-watering contract. Despite being the league's top scorer, the 35 year old appears increasingly frustrated at the club and this week hit the headlines after appearing to throw his shirt to the ground at being taken off in the 3-1 win over Genoa (apparently he was leaving it for a ball boy). Shifting Ronaldo will mean that Dybala would have to stay, despite all the rumours of him coming to the Premier League after being rebuked by the club for breaking Covid rules. Juventus are themselves are in conflict with the authorities, along with Atalanta and other clubs, who are opposed to Serie A's president Paolo Dal Pino decision to sell off a part of the league to outside investors. It's a plan that La Liga and the Bundesliga are also reported to be considering but the teams opposing the plan feel that it gives up too much for what is seen as a short-term problem - the financial hit from Covid. GS
FA Cup Semi-Final: Leicester City v Southampton
Despite us being at the business end of the season, these sides have met only once. This was back in mid-January where Leicester won 2-0 with Harvey Barnes and James Maddison on the scoresheet. Barnes will miss out on a trip to Wembley through injury and it will be interesting to see if Brendan Rogers allows Maddison back into the side after it was found that he attended a party with Ayoze Perez and Hamza Choudhury, in breach of COVID-19 rules. This resulted in all three being dropped for the 3-2 loss away to West Ham which was a brave (and correct) decision by Rogers, with Leicester still not guaranteed a top-four place. With his point made, I can't see players of this calibre being left out with a chance to be battered by Manchester City in the final up for grabs. For Southampton, today offers the opportunity to draw a line under last week's embarrassing 3-0 defeat to Big Sam's struggling West Brom. They can also draw on the fact that they've yet to concede in their cup run, but I can't see that happening today - Leicester to go through. JB
Whatever you watch, have a great weekend.

Merry Crocmas: 'Black Water' Remains the Most Brutal Killer Crocodile Movie
Black Water is one of those rare instances where "based on true events" isn't just a gratuitous tagline. The 2007 movie (later followed by an unrelated and more polished-looking sequel) is in fact inspired by an event from a few years earlier — near the Finniss River in the Northern Territory of Australia, two people were stranded in a tree after a massive predator killed their friend, then continued to stalk them. While that real-life account and this piece of fiction are substantially different in most respects, they both illustrate the terrifying unpredictability of "salties."
After spending Christmas vacation with family, Black Water's three main characters set off on a number of small adventures before returning to their humdrum lives. It's only when sisters Lee and Grace (Maeve Dermody, Diana Glenn) and Grace's husband Adam (Andy Rodoreda) go fishing in a mangrove do they encounter one of Australia's most dangerous residents. The namesake of Backwater Barry's isn't available on that one ill-fated day, but another tour guide named Jim (Ben Oxenbould) offers to take the unaware customers out on the water. Big mistake.
A strength of Black Water is its brisk pacing. It takes almost no time before the leads are tossed into the deep end; they're left to fend for themselves as Jim is consumed by a hungry, hungry crocodile, and their dinghy is capsized and out of reach. The movie's factual basis then comes into play as the three survivors scramble up the nearby trees, waiting out a threat that never goes away. It's now a game of patience for both the protagonists and the audience.
Something that makes Black Water stick out from the herd is its verisimilar execution. Directors and co-writers Andrew Traucki and David Nerlich saw an opportunity after Open Water made a big splash in the shark niche of horror, and they wanted to create something similar. Up until this movie, though, crocs had been treated more cheesily than seriously. The idea of these reptiles cropping up in unexpected parts of society, larger and smarter than nature allows, and chomping their way through humanity is already absurd enough. It was only normal for filmmakers to take a less than serious approach. This movie contrarily dares to be realistic in a subgenre known for its silliness.
A key to Black Water's critical success is its ability to make the characters seem genuinely frightened. Traucki and Nerlich ditched the humor intrinsic to past croc flicks, and they made their scenario consistently dire and hopeless, not to mention plausible. The filmmakers emphasized what's already there, apropos of a saltwater crocodile, rather than drumming up something fantastical. These living and breathing monsters don't need to be enhanced; they're intimidating enough just the way they are. There's a particular instance where the scaly antagonist reveals its head above the water's surface before submerging; its jaws are wrapped around a recent catch. This one scene, charged with Grace's anguished cries and music to match, is so simple yet remarkably sinister. Moments like that achieve more than a standard jump-scare.
Limiting the cast to one set for most of the story is torture for both them and the viewers. Black Water becomes downright agonizing to watch as Grace, Lee and Adam cling to trees and pray for help that never comes. Their desperate attempts to escape, although foolish and typically unsuccessful, are forgivable, unlike other movies where extremely bad decisions are transparent. But what else can the characters do here other than wait to die? If not by crocodile, then by dehydration. That painful realism doesn't do much in the way of cheap thrills, however it does keep your attention.
On account of their similar premises and neighboring release dates, Black Water and Greg McLean's Rogue are often compared. Resources aside, the two movies are worlds apart in execution. McLean's river epic, based on the iconic saltie named Sweetheart, has since become a benchmark in these sorts of movies. Rogue is stylishly made, has broad appeal, and it boasts top-end special effects. Black Water, produced with a fraction of McLean's budget, relies on its filmmakers' ingenuity and commitment to harsh reality. Traucki and Nerlich's debut also includes reasonably seamless compositing, which makes the actors' fearful performances even more impressive.
Black Water doesn't let up once the characters enter the water. And after a grueling struggle between man and animal, it lacks even the trademark bittersweet ending deemed necessary to help shake off feelings of sadness. The lack of catharsis is unbearable. The ultimate outcome won't sit well with everyone, but there's a twisted kind of poetry in the movie's aggressive depiction of fleeting life.
What might be viewed as another regurgitation of the Jaws formula is in actuality a bright spot in the wide and varied world of creature-features. In this subset of horror, one that's been regularly dismissed as schlocky, predictable and devoid of originality, this movie is refreshing without straying too far from familiar waters.
Horrors Elsewhere is a recurring column that spotlights a variety of movies from all around the globe, particularly those not from the United States. Fears may not be universal, but one thing is for sure — a scream is understood, always and everywhere.

Q: OnTouch Listener removes round corners on CardView I added onTouchListener to my RecyclerView adapter and it works fine with changing the color, but it also removes the round corners of RecyclerView. You can see it in the screenshot.
Here is the code:
holder.cardViewRemaining.setOnTouchListener((v, event) -> {
        if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
        {
            v.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#f0f0f0"));
        }
        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP || event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL)
        {
            v.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
        }
        return false;
    });

A: You need to use setCardBackgroundColor() .
holder.cardViewRemaining.setOnTouchListener((v, event) -> {
        if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
        {
            holder.cardViewRemaining.setCardBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#f0f0f0"));
        }
        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP || event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL)
        {
            holder.cardViewRemaining.setCardBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);
        }
        return false;
    });

A: How to programmatically round corners and set random background colors
It seems that instead of using setBackgroundColor method, you should retrieve the background drawable and set its color.

Autonomous vehicles and mental health
David Rojas-Rueda
Barcelona Institute of Global Health (ISGlobal), Barcelona, Spain
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are about to initiate a mobility revolution that will shape the urban environment and modify the mental health of urban populations in the coming years. A fully autonomous vehicle is a vehicle that has a full-time automated driving system that undertakes all aspects of driving that would otherwise be undertaken by a human, under all roadway and environmental conditions. By 2020, we expect fully autonomous vehicles to be on the market, and by 2035 more than 30 million AVs will be on the streets. Currently, car makers are testing different versions of AVs that deliver various degrees of autonomy.
Vehicles that can drive themselves without human input will affect important health determinants associated with urban environments including public spaces, traffic injuries, social interactions, physical activity, air pollution, traffic noise, access to health services or substance abuse services. Many of these health determinants are associated with mental health (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Autonomous vehicles and mental health framework
Impact on road safety and its consequences
Traffic injuries and fatalities are the most commonly discussed AV-related health determinant. We expect AVs will be able to avoid all traffic crashes associated with human errors (currently an estimated 90% of causes of all traffic crashes in Europe). AVs will modify our road safety perception, reducing the risk not just of crashes but conflict with other drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and others, mostly eliminating the stress of driving a car that can trigger mental distress and exacerbate mental health problems. Instead, the AV scenario will open up a new experience in mobility, with the possibility to relax and enjoy a safer, less stressed transit experience, whether riding in an AV or as a pedestrian or cyclist, encouraging more active transport.
Transformation of the commuting experience - but in a good or bad way?
Beyond elimination of the concentration, stress, and risk of injury currently associated with driving, AVs could transform the commuting experience by freeing up time in transit. Recently some future AV scenarios have offered a vision of how we could use this extra travel time. There could be substantial mental health benefits if driving time were substituted with relaxing and enjoying recreational activities in transit. However, these new ideas are also opening the door to using the commuting time for work activities. Could this mean that our commuting time becomes an extension of our work time? If so, there are two different ways this might evolve. The first way (and maybe the less probable) could offer people a shift in work time location from workplaces to AVs, starting and ending work while in transit. This incorporation of commuting time into the workday would eliminate the extra hours of commuting, freeing up more time for personal activities, including time for physical activity, and social time to spend with friends and family. Perhaps more likely, a second way will be an expectation that in-transit work forms an addition to our current work hours, the overall effect being exposure to increased work hours, which may be associated with work-related stress and potential health consequences including depression and anxiety. Either way, there is a risk that spending time working in an AV may just substitute driving stress with work-related stress.
Impact on accessibility and autonomy
AVs can help provide better access to more places and services, such as social and leisure activities, and health services, including improved access to health services for people with mental disorders. AVs will also open new opportunities to particular population groups such as disabled people, children or older people, who will particularly benefit from the increased autonomy AVs will offer. Autonomy has also been related to reduced stress, more motivation, and better mental health outcomes.
Impact on social interaction
AVs could facilitate increased access to venues for social interactions and social support that help promote good mental health. But private AVs could also increase isolation during travel periods. There is some evidence suggesting that increasing car use and time expended in cars are associated with less social interaction and cohesion between neighbors. Increasing the number of individual and private AVs (similar to current car use) and travel periods might maintain poor social interaction. But if the AVs are managed as shared vehicles this could produce the opposite effect, stimulating social interaction between travelers and improving social networks and support.
Impact on alcohol and substance abuse
Substance abuse is associated with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, amongst other mental health problems. Traffic campaigns have been effective interventions to reduce substance abuse in drivers. If we no longer need to drive, then perhaps people will be less interested in controlling their consumption of alcohol or other drugs, which may result in increased alcohol and substance abuse. Regulations could be implemented in the future to reduce alcohol and substance abuse when riding in an AV.
Environmental risk factors could also be affected when AVs reach our cities. Air quality and traffic noise, both correlated with stress, annoyance, and neurodevelopment problems, could be reduced if the AVs are designed as electric vehicles. Imagine a complete change of the vehicles fleet: with only electric AVs we would no longer have traffic noise, and there would be a vast improvement of air quality in our cities.
Placemaking opportunities
Finally, AVs offer an excellent opportunity to reshape our cities. If we bet on an AV model based on shared vehicles (as opposed to private/ individual AVs), we will be able to reduce the public spaces dedicated to cars. Imagine fewer cars on the streets and less car parking space: cities will have the opportunity to build more parks, plazas and public spaces dedicated to people, where we can enjoy our families and friends, interact with our neighbors, improve social cohesion, and create better communities. Furthermore, the cities will also have the possibility to increase physical activity, and access to nature creating new parks and green spaces that will help deliver an improvement of population physical and mental health.
We are facing many challenges with AVs, and mental health practitioners and urban planners need to understand the future implications of AVs in mental health, and support AV models (electric AVs and shared AVs) that will help reduce the risk of mental disorders and deliver mental health benefits for everyone. We are at the right moment to work to ensure that AVs achieve a better future for urban mental health.

Royal Irish Academy – Tom Crean story to be revised
Where can I purchase your books about Tom Crean?
You can purchase all formats and versions of the Tom Crean biography 'Crean – The Extraordinary Life of an Irish Hero' and the children's book, 'Tom The Mighty Explorer', at our website shop. Click here to visit
If you wish to purchase more than 10 copies of the Signed Second Edition Tom Crean Biography which we carry a limited stock of, then we are able to apply a discount and you can contact me direct at info@tomcreanbook.com to make an enquiry
How is your biography of Tom Crean different to other books written about him?
My account of Crean's life focuses almost entirely on Tom Crean and rarely deviates from his life and career.
During my research I unearthed a host of new information about Crean that had never before been published. I also discovered that a previous account of his life written by Michael Smith, contained a number of inaccuracies and was missing a host of signifiant events, assignments and people who played a part in Crean's story. To check out some of what I discovered, check out the following post – https://tomcreanbook.com/tom-crean-the-facts-from-the-fiction/
I submitted all of my research to the Royal Irish Academy and after examination they confirmed that substantial changes were to be made to the official entry for Crean in the Dictionary of Irish Biography, in light of what I had found.
I wish to buy a number of books, can I buy them directly from you and can I get discount?
Yes – if you are a bookseller or a school and you wish to purchase books in greater volume than ten copies, then I'm happy to offer a discount relevant on the number of books you require.
Please send me the details of which books and how many you require and I will come back to you with the cost.
Why can't I purchase your books at Eason's chain of Irish bookshops?
Eason do not stock my books nor have they ever offered me a valid explanation for this despite many requests since the release of the first edition in 2018.
On 7th July 2021, they did respond finally to an email I sent asking them why they still offer books about Tom Crean that contain inaccuracies when they were fully aware that Tom Crean's story had been revised in light of the sources I had submitted to the Royal Irish Academy. Those changes were applied to the Dictionary of Irish Biography in March 2021.
Their response was:
"These books are selected based on their potential appeal to our broad customer base. Alternatively, if they are revised or later editions of a published title, we assess their performance within the Irish market based on Nielsen ICM data".
So, in a nutshell, despite my self-published biography of Crean being the only account of his life that has had the content within it and the sources used to transcribe it, officially validated, books about Crean, both children's and adult version that have been released by established publishers and that contain inaccuracies and are missing a series of events, are given a place on the Eason bookshelf because they sell more. It has to be remembered that Eason are fully aware of the changes made to Tom Crean's story and that I had offered, on a number of occasions, to send them my entire sources so they too could examine them – they never did take me up on that offer. However they did end their message to me with the following gem of a swerve:
"With regard to Eason stocking existing titles referencing Tom Cream, any issue regarding their content is not for Eason to assess and should be taken up with the respective publishers"
It leaves a bitter taste in the mouth to learn that factual accounts of a story are of little importance when it comes to book sales and that readers of all ages are destined to digest falsehoods about Tom Crean's life for the foreseeable future based entirely on the business decision of a bookseller.
I believe it's morally and ethically wrong but I'm a minnow in a sea of sharks and can do nothing to change it other that keep continuing to raise awareness of the facts on this page.
Ok, rant over but that is the answer to why Eason do not stock my books.
Do you undertake author visits to schools ?
As we live in the digital age and to save on travelling and subsistence costs, I'm happy to use a video platform such as Zoom, Facebook Messenger, Skype or WhatsApp to tell children about Tom Crean and to answer their questions. Wherever you are located in the world this is possible.
Because I live in the UK, I am able to undertake physical visits to schools here if requested. E-mail me at info@tomcreanbook to make an enquiry of this type and I will come back to you.
How can I contact Tim Foley in a call?
You can contact me directly from within or outside of the UK using the number 0044 (0)7887727477
Can I re-use the images or content on your website?
In most cases, yes, providing you apply accreditation in the form of ©Tim Foley and a link to www.tomcreanbook.com
I am an accommodating chap but there will be certain instances in which I wouldn't allow images or content of mine to be used so It's better to let me know first where and how you wish to use them.
I am an author and wish to write a book about Tom Crean, can I consult with you?
Absolutely you can and I'm excited to learn more about your project whether it be for children or the grown-ups. I'd be happy to impart my knowledge of Crean to help you.
Because of my research Tom Crean's story has changed so do please share the posts.

Q: How to keep web app to api app calls within ILB ASE I have web and api app deployed within ILB ASE fronted by Application Gateway.Would I be able to make the calls from my web app to api app without exposing api app externally? If so, how can I do that?
I configured application gateway to point to the front end web app. I created internet routable domain and added to custom domain in my web app. In my DNS, I pointed the custom domain to hostname of the application gateway and I am able to logon to my web app. But, I see my web app written in AngualarJS is making XMLHttpRequest to backend API URL and as the backend API URL can not be resolved from my desktop, it is failing.
My requirement is not to expose API app outside of the ILB ASE VNET. Any suggestions?

A: If you want the web app and API could communicate with each other in an ILB ASE, you need to deploy an internal DNS service. For example, you could deploy a custom DNS server on Azure VM in the same Azure VNet. You can specify DNS server IP addresses in the VNet settings. The VNet is your ASE subnet located.
Please note that restart ASE after DNS IP address is added to VNet if you add the DNS after you deploy ASE. You could refer to this and read more details about custom DNS in ASE. Let me know if this works.

Prior to his nomination, he was an ad hoc member for three years. As a study section member, he reviews several R series funding grant proposals three times a year—in February, June, and October. Garcia was also a standing member of the Community Influences on Health Behavior study section from 2008-2012. Selection criteria for study section membership is based on success in being awarded NIH grants, public health research, and a strong publication record.


The movie trailer for Nim's Island, the new family adventure comedy from Fox-Walden, is now online. Based on the popular novel by Wendy Orr and Kerry Millard, about a young girl named Nim (Abigail Breslin) who lives on an isolated island with her scientist father. When the father goes missing, Nim requests the help of a reclusive author (Jodie Foster) of the novel she's reading. And Gerard Butler plays Alex Rover, the fictional hero from her novels.
I think I might be out of the age range and demographic on this one. It has a good cast, and doesn't look as bad as most kid-targeted movies. It seems like something that you could sit through and enjoy if you had kids to entertain. I'm just not sure I'd ever be interested in this film on my own. Watch the trailer below, and as always, tell me what you think – Comment Now.
You can also watch the new trailer in High Definition on Yahoo! Movies. Nim's Island hits theaters on April 4th 2008.
