Today's post is by the Scand Mobile Development Team. Scand is a software development firm from Belarus, engaged mainly in the development of cross-platform and native applications under the iOS, Android, and Windows platforms. Over the years, they have gained experience in the spheres of banking, sports, medicine, education, e-commerce, and more.
From the first weapons created by primitive hunters to the pens, palettes, and putty knives used by Renaissance artists, craftspeople have had to choose their tools wisely to solve problems in effective ways. In today's demanding mobile application market, developers must carefully evaluate the many tools available to them. Scand saw Realm as an effective tool to solve their problems due to its easy integration, flexible scalability, and clear documentation. They also developed Realm Browser for Android, a free, helpful library for viewing and editing files on Realm DB on Android devices.
From the beginning of ages, people have created and carefully chosen weapons and tools for specific purposes. We all know that convenient and reliable tools help to solve problems in a more efficient and effective way. Our ancestors treated stone in a special manner and combined it with other materials to serve various purposes: carcass dressing, hunting, digging, or wood chopping. It was necessary for survival. It is not only human power that built the Egyptian pyramids, but also brazen chisels, ropes, and lever systems. In the Middle Ages, during the rise of the navy, ships carried no fewer than 4 types of guns of different caliber and purpose. That gave opportunity to get away from attack, to capture enemy ships, or even completely destroy them. Artists of the Romantic period used dozens of brushes with different bristles, pens, palettes, and putty knives to translate their ideas into paintings.
Today, the mobile application market is dynamic, competitive, and demanding. This requires developers to be pragmatic when choosing tools. Once the scope of task is defined, modern IT developers and architects carefully evaluate available tools and make choices for languages, libraries, IDEs, patterns and algorithms.
Our team builds development processes in accordance with the principles and practices of Lean and Agile methodologies. As such, we did not replace relational SQLite databases with Realm. Instead, we use it as another effective tool for solving our problems.
Our acquaintance with Realm happened recently. Since the time of Windows Mobile 5, we were using SQLite (both native and its wrappers: CoreData, FMDB, ORMLite, GreenDAO, et al.) and serialization to store data on mobile devices. Afterward, due to active development of non-relational solutions and logic optimization, we started integration of small NoSQL storages (key-values or documents). As a result, we used either SQLite solely, or SQLite with relation to NoSQL. NoSQL was used to store data that was rarely updated and didn't require complex query, while SQLite was used as our main database.
As the matter of fact, there is a significant increase in cost for mobile app development using SQLite DB for storing data. Despite the fact that the mobile application market can decline business and developers to be agile, not everyone can afford to pay for the benefits of relational DBs that are not required or offset in a particular area. The solution, then, should be chosen depending not on habits and preferences, but on subject area.
Accordingly, our team (as well as many other developers) entered the era of polyglot persistence, where various data storages are used for different requirements. No relational DB is an uncontested datasource. That is why we carefully analyze and evaluate the nature of data. How will it be manipulated? What is its volume? Only then can we choose whether we will use a relational DB, NoSQL DB, or a combination.
Why choose Realm among others?
Easy integration - Realm easily connects through Gradle or CocoaPods.
Low entry requirements - Even novice developers will be able to master Realm in a few days.
Speed - Comparative tests show that Realm is an incredibly fast library for working with the database.
Platform independence - Realm database files are cross-platform and can be used in both OS and Android.
Scalability - Realm is ready to work with large data sets.
Documentation and support - The Realm team has provided readable, well-organized documentation about its product. If problems occur, you can always contact them through email, Twitter, GitHub, or StackOverflow.
Reliability - Realm is used by many developers in multiple mobile applications.
Data protection - Realm provides out-of-the-box data encryption.
Active development - Even though Realm is still below version 1.0, development is still ongoing.
Free - Realm is absolutely free!
We have been actively using Realm in some of our projects. When the "honeymoon" was over, we found out that we lack at least one essential function in Realm: in order to debug and test application logic or UI, we needed a handy viewer and editor of Realm DB. Realm Browser for Mac OS X turned out to be uncomfortable to use for us: it required too many activities, and is limited in functionality for our needs.
Updated October 19, 2017: With the launch of Realm Platform 2.0, Realm Browser for MacOS has been deprecated, and is replaced by Realm Studio for Mac, Linux, and Windows to manage both local and synced Realms.
We decided to create a library of our own. Realm Browser for Android is a small, free, helpful library for viewing and editing files on Realm DB on Android devices. It allows developers that use Realm in their applications to view saved data and debug modules that are responsible for easier and faster work with DB. The library also provides the ability to automatically generate data.
With Realm Browser for Android, library developers gain direct access to stored data while running the program without having to copy the data file. Developers can open the browser in two ways: by creating a notification, or by calling a method at the right time. The first way allows you to avoid interfering with the application's UI, while the second provides necessary flexibility.
At first, we created this library for ourselves. However, we decided to share it with other developers. You can view use cases and download the demo application (as well as the library itself) from our website.
In short, our product was created by developers, for developers. It is currently in alpha, and we plan to develop Realm Browser for Android further. The project has a backlog with tasks that imply development of new features and UI improvements. We have many interesting ideas on how to make the product even more useful for developers.
For almost 10 years, the Scand team has been developing applications for mobile platforms. They worked with Windows CE, Symbian, Blackberry, and experimented with such 'exotic' OS's as Bada and Tizen. Today, they are mainly engaged in development of both cross-platform and native applications under iOS, Android, and Windows platforms, and solving tasks for different subject areas. Over the years, they gained experience in the development of applications in different spheres: banking, sports, medicine, enterprise, augmented reality, education, e-commerce, and many others.

The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah
Darrel Anderson
Western, Horror, Fantasy, Science Fiction
Song of Susannah is the sixth book in Stephen King's Dark Tower series. It was published in 2004. It details the events following Susannah Dean's escape to deliver her baby. This was the "quickest" of all the books: all the action have happened in a bit more than 24 hours. The book's subtitle is REPRODUCTION.
Song of Susannah begins with Roland, Eddie, and Jake wondering how they are going to find Susannah, after her escape through Doorway Cave. Fortunately, Roland knows that the Manni know how to use the remnants of magic to re-open the door. The plan is for Henchick and the Manni to open the door twice. Roland and Eddie would go through first to rescue Susannah, while Jake and Father Callahan would go through next to convince Calvin Tower to sell the vacant lot. It does not go according to the plan; the groups get sucked through in opposite order.
Meanwhile in New York City in the year 1999, Mia is frantically searching for the place to have her baby. Susannah finds the sköldpadda inside a pocket in the Mid-World bowling bag. She uses it to get a hotel room to await the phone call that Mia is expecting. While Mia and Susannah wait, they discuss the origins of the baby. Eventually, Richard Sayre calls and instructs Mia to go to the Dixie Pig to have her baby. Susannah leaves the sköldpadda outside the dixie Pig for Jake to find. Inside, Susannah/Mia is taken through a door to Fedic where they are separated.
Jake Chambers and Oy, just after they arrived in 1999.
Back in 1977, Roland and Eddie are dropped in the middle of an ambush set up by Jack Andolini. They meet John Cullum who helps Roland and Eddie escape the general store. After they leave store, Cullum took them back to his house where he told them of Stephen King, Turtleback Lane, and the "walk-ins". He lends them his old Ford Galaxie truck and is told to head to Vermont.
In 1999 again, the trio of Jake, Callahan, and Oy land violently in the middle of a busy street. Jake very nearly shoots the driver that almost ran over Oy, but was stopped by the efforts of Callahan and the Rev. Earl Harrigan. Jake cools down and is able to find the hotel where Susannah/Mia left Black Thirteen. They attempt to remove it safely, but it awakens and forces them both to their knees, urging them to murder each other. They almost succumb, but Callahan uses his restored faith to put the orb back to sleep and save their lives.
In search of a safe storage place, he and Jake move Black Thirteen to a long-term storage locker underneath the World Trade Center, with the hope that either it will stay dormant or Roland will at some point come to destroy it. They go to the Dixie Pig, the restaurant stronghold of the Low Men and vampires where Susannah is being held, where they find the sköldpadda and prepare to ambush the forces within.

Montenegro's parliament has supported the Balkan country's membership in Nato in a historic turn toward the west amid protests by Russia and the pro-Russia opposition.
Politicians voted 46-0 to ratify the accession treaty with the western military alliance. They then stood up and applauded the decision.
The parliament has 81 members, but pro-Russia opposition politicians boycotted the session. Several hundred opposition supporters gathered outside the hall before the vote.
Montenegro has a small military of about 2,000 troops, but it is strategically positioned to give Nato full control over the Adriatic Sea. The other Adriatic nations – Albania, Croatia and Italy – are already in the alliance.
Russia has been angered by Nato's expansion to Montenegro, which is in Moscow's traditional area of interest. Russia's foreign ministry denounced the Montenegrin parliament's ratification of membership on Friday as "a demonstrative act of trampling all democratic norms and principles".
The ministry took a dismissive swipe at the country's size and military capability, saying that "given the potential of Montenegro, the north Atlantic alliance is unlikely to receive significant 'added value'".
Montenegro has accused Russia of being behind a foiled election day coup in October allegedly designed to throw the country off its path toward Nato. Russia has denied the accusation, but has actively supported the opposition.
Prime minister Duško Marković told parliament that Nato membership was a guarantee for Montenegro's future security, economic progress and regional stability.
His predecessor, Milo Đukanović – who was the head of government during the alleged coup attempt that reportedly included plans for his assassination – said joining the organisation was the most important decision in recent history.
"After long suffering and roaming through history, [Montenegro] is finally in the position where it logically, historically, civilisation-wise and culturally belongs," Đukanović said.
Opposition leaders said they don't recognise the parliamentary ratification of the Nato accession and will call a referendum on the issue, if they come to power in the future.
The country of 620,000 has been historically divided between pursuing pro-western policies and sticking to an alliance with Orthodox Christian allies Serbia and Russia.
Both Russia and the pro-Russia opposition in Montenegro also have evoked the Nato bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, which included Serbia and Montenegro at the time, as a reason to stay out of the alliance.
Marković said Montenegro was drawn into Serbia's war with Nato and that membership in the alliance would help prevent anything like that from happening again.
Montenegro was formally invited to join Nato in December 2015. Marković said 27 out of 28 NATO member states have ratified Montenegro's entry protocol and Spain would do so in the coming weeks.
Montenegro gained independence from Serbia in 2006.

Q: How to search for exact phrases using the MySQL MeCab Full-Text Parser Plugin? I'm using MySQL 8.0.27.
MATCH (column) AGAINST ('その猫' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
MATCH (column) AGAINST ('"その猫"' IN BOOLEAN MODE)

Both statements show "その小さな猫" in the results.
The documentation says:

For boolean mode search, the search term is converted to a search phrase.

So I would expect to not need the quoation marks, but it does not work in either case.

Thanks Kris... This salt can cause stomach irritation that has caused the vomiting and extreme thirst. the fact that it has only been 1 1/2 hrs is good because this means that Strider may have vomited all of this salt....

The Revolutionary War, the Roaring Twenties and other exciting eras live again on these tours.
NEW YORK CITY is a walking town, and one of the best ways to take in its historical sites is on foot. Even in winter, guided walking tours abound—and not just of the usual landmarks. Many head off the beaten paths to explore intimate neighborhoods and easily overlooked treasures, like Brooklyn's DUMBO or Harlem's Strivers' Row. So bundle up and prepare to stride into the city's past.
Those interested in Colonial America will be intrigued by Patriot Tours, which specializes in the Revolutionary War and the early days of the republic. Limited to 15-20 guests, its groups trod the twisting streets of the southern tip of Manhattan—what's now the Financial District (or, for those in the know, FiDi). One tour visits the haunts of a spy ring that passed intel on the British to George Washington's army. Another walk pays homage to Alexander Hamilton, along with his nemesis Aaron Burr, visiting the places where he studied, worked and is buried. Tour guide Karen Quinones punctuates her narratives with historic quotes from first-person accounts and facsimiles of period documents.
While Patriot Tours focuses on a particular era, ProwlerNYC takes a more offbeat approach to its two- and three-hour walks. Many are organized around an individual, tracing the milestones of his or her life through architecture and the "social, religious and technological forces that shape a style and a building's appearance," says founder Deborah Zelcer. The Little Pillbox Hat Tour, for example, uses Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and her lifelong interest in historic preservation as the common link for a variety of Midtown structures, from Grand Central Terminal to the Olympic Tower. The life and times of Nikola Tesla are the theme of another tour; the electrical inventor—a rival of Thomas Edison's—spent much of his life in the 20-block span of current-day NoMad, Murray Hill and Bryant Park.
Other groups pride themselves on offering tours that'll surprise and delight even native New Yorkers (let alone visitors). That's the unofficial motto for Untapped Cities, whose specialty is arranging access to places that are usually off-limits to the public. Intimate groups of up to 10 or 18 can get a behind-the-scenes look at an Ellis Island hospital or the fabulously ornate Woolworth Building, one of New York's first skyscrapers. Or they can literally head underground, exploring the oldest sections of the subway system.
Nor will visitors hear the same old, same old on a tour by the Municipal Art Society of New York (MAS), whose guides often have degrees in history, art, architecture or other relevant fields, and whose narratives are filled with rich and well-researched detail. Since February is Black History Month, several tours focus on Harlem—especially the explosion of writers, musicians and artists there during the 1920s and 1930s—or African-Americans' influence and presence in Brooklyn and other sections of Manhattan, complementing MAS' usual architectural tours.
All this walking can work up an appetite. To the rescue: Foods of New York Tours, whose gastronomically themed walks include tastings. In particular, its Greenwich Village tours combine historical culture and cuisine in an enriching way; not only will visitors feast their eyes on the quaint houses, winding streets and architectural oddities of the area, they'll snack in generations-old restaurants and food shops, learning how delicacies from the Old World were adapted for the New.


American Crystal coded variety trials were first started in 1973 to measure yield potential of varieties. Strict criteria for variety approval based on these trials were adopted in 1982. Opponents of strict criteria for variety approval insisted this policy would drastically reduce the number of varieties available to shareholders. Seed companies accepted the challenge to meet these standards and have provided a continuing array of better varieties ever since.
Three year data means from the coded variety trials is a shareholder's single best source of unbiased information on which to base variety selection. The 1999 trial results will be available in mid to late November. This information will be on the American Crystal's Sugar Company web site at crystalsugar.com and the Sugarbeet Research and Education Board web site at http://www.sbreb.org at the same time. Keep in mind minor differences between the top 5 to 8 varieties or more are probably not significantly different statistically.
Contact your new American Crystal Sugar company sales staff regarding questions about information in the coded variety trials. Their phone numbers and other information about these shareholders accompanies this Ag Notes.
Numerous discussions of best varieties to grow on different soil associations take place each fall. Is one variety better suited on heavy soil and another on light soil? Table 1, which is attached, summarizes the grower practices system information for variety performance on the most common Red River Valley soil associations. Heavy textured soils are the Fargo, Fargo-Hegne and Northcote soils. Medium textured soils are the Bearden, Bearden-Colvin, and Overly – Boetia – Bearden. Light textured soils are the Glyndon, Wheatville and Hamerly-Vallers. Beta 2084 for example performed well on all three types of soil for recoverable sugar per acre. Its recoverable sugar per ton was high on the Fargo or Fargo-Hegne soils, but quite low on the Northcote clay, all heavy textured soils. VDH 66156 gave similar recoverable sugar per acre across all three-soil types. Cautiously evaluate varieties based on soil type. Shareholder experience on your farm, coupled with coded variety trial three year means are a solid basis for variety selection.
The rapid completion of harvest opens a window of opportunity for shareholders to use satellite imagery of the 1999 crop to plan nitrogen management for the next 3 or 4 years. Contact your agriculturist to get your satellite images, save fertilizer inputs on the 2000 crop after beets and increase ON FARM PROFITwhen beets are again planted on 1999 beet fields. Table 2 from the Grower Practice System information shows the benefit of more precise soil sampling and nitrogen fertilizer application. Using variable rate fertilizer application technology (VRT) based on grid, topographic, or zone soil sampling increased recoverable sugar per acre in 1998 by 573, 398, and 1836 lbs. respectively. A limited number of zone sampled fields are included in this summary. Increases of up to 1836-lbs. recoverable sugar per acre are exceptional and should not be expected every year based on zone sampling and variable rate fertilization.
A quick reminder that the grower idea contest entry deadline is December 1, 1999. Contact your agriculturist for entry forms and assistance. Take those pictures now to document your entry.

Kidnapped Brit spends 600th day in illegal detention
A British father of three who was kidnapped to Ethiopia in 2014 will today spend his 600th day in detention.
Andargachew 'Andy' Tsege, from London, has been detained by Ethiopian forces since 23rd June 2014, when he was seized at an airport in Yemen and forcibly taken to Ethiopia. He is held under a sentence of death handed down in absentia in 2009, in relation to his activities with an Ethiopian opposition group. The Ethiopian authorities have refused to allow Mr Tsege to see or talk to his British family, and have denied his requests to see a lawyer.
International human rights organization Reprieve, which is assisting Mr Tsege, has asked the British government to request his release formally, but the Foreign Office has so far declined to do so. UK officials have instead made a series of requests for regular consular access to Mr Tsege, and for due process for him in Ethiopia's courts. These requests have been rebuffed by the Ethiopian government. It has recently emerged that Mr Tsege is not being held as a regular prisoner, and is not recorded in the country's prison system.
Torture is common in Ethiopian prisons, and there are fears for Mr Tsege's wellbeing. The Ethiopian government has released a series of videos and photos of Mr Tsege in detention, in which he appears gaunt and tired; in a recent assessment, a British psychiatric expert – Dr Ben Robinson – concluded that "Mr. Tsege's mental state has undergone a sharp and marked decline in detention."
Last year, the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention called on Ethiopia to release Mr Tsege without delay.
Commenting, Maya Foa, head of the death penalty team at Reprieve, said:
"It is deeply worrying that Andy Tsege – a Brit with a young family who are desperately worried about him – is enduring his 600th day in detention with no end in sight. Andy is the victim of a series of outrageous breaches of international law by Ethiopia's government – from an in absentia death sentence to kidnapping, rendition and utterly arbitrary detention. Whatever the UK has been doing to date is clearly not having an effect; the government must change its approach, and call firmly for Andy's release."

Q: How to add a line break in an Android TextView? \n not working I am getting data from xml for line break in following format;
line1 \n line2.but on setting this string in textview its displaying line1 \n line2 intead of;
line1
line2. if i hardcode the the value in textview its giving correct result but getting data from xml is not showing properly...

A: <string name="sample_string"><![CDATA[some test line 1
some test line 2]]></string>

so wrap in CDATA is necessary and breaks added inside as html tags

A: If you plan as using the string as HTML, you can use <br /> for a line break(
)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <string name="title">Hello<br />World!</string>
</resources>

(or)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <resources>
        <string name="title">Hello\nWorld!</string>
    </resources>

A: Both previous answers were almost there. The BR tag doesn't do so well with Android. However, \n works if you wrap it in a CDATA element as shown below.
In your strings.xml values file add this:
<string name="sample_string"><![CDATA[some test line 1 \nsome test line 2]]></string>`

The Picerne Group has demonstrated a consistent ability to predict and take advantage of market opportunities.
Ken Picerne grew up in a family-owned real estate investment business, Picerne Real Estate Group, based in Rhode Island. As COO, Mr. Picerne spent a decade leading a major expansion of Picerne Real Estate Group into the sun belt states, and was responsible for the development of over 12,000 multifamily units. Today, Picerne Real Estate Group is one of the largest family-owned multifamily developers and owners in the U.S., with more than 45,000 multifamily units.
In 1988, Mr. Picerne left his family business and founded The Picerne Group to invest in the California multifamily market. In the late 1980s, The Picerne Group developed apartment communities with joint venture partners who contributed land at a nominal basis. This structure kept The Picerne Group's land costs low and allowed The Picerne Group and its joint venture partners to prosper during the early 1990s recession, when its competitors floundered.
In the early 1990s, Mr. Picerne read the changing market and successfully moved the company out of development and into acquisitions. When the market corrected in 1991/1992, The Picerne Group was one of the first buyers of assets being liquidated by the U.S. Government/Resolution Trust Corporation during the savings and loan crisis. From 1992 to 1998, The Picerne Group focused its acquisitions on the hard hit Southern California market, and accumulated over 5,000 multifamily units, as well as raw land parcels that were re-entitled for multifamily development. Many of these investments were cleverly capitalized through partnerships with local Redevelopment Agencies. The Picerne Group paused investing in 1998, when the U.S. apartment market had corrected back to the high water mark that had been achieved in the late 1980s, and investment margins thus became unattractive to The Picerne Group. The Picerne Group liquidated nearly all of the assets it had acquired during this investment cycle, at significant profit, during the 2005-2007 market bubble.
Although The Picerne Group had paused investing in U.S. apartments due to deteriorating fundamentals, in 1998 The Picerne Group was approached by a Japanese bank with which The Picerne Group had developed a close relationship through its U.S. investment activities earlier in the decade. This bank had been asked by the Japanese government to take the lead in developing a program for the Japanese banks to dispose of their non-performing loans. Because of the trusting relationship that had developed between The Picerne Group and this bank, The Picerne Group was asked to participate in the program that the bank developed. Over the next few years, The Picerne Group became one of the largest buyers of portfolios of Japanese non-performing loans. The Picerne Group bought portfolios having a nominal value of several billion dollars from various Japanese banks and financial institutions. These loans were secured by various types of real estate assets located in Japan, Canada, Europe and the U.S.. The Picerne Group liquidated the vast majority of these assets by 2005/2006, realizing exceptional profits.
In 2008, because The Picerne Group believed the margins in the non-performing loan portfolio market had deteriorated, The Picerne Group again adjusted its investment focus. Turning its focus back to the U.S., The Picerne Group began to purchase notes secured by Class A apartments. The Picerne Group made its first purchase in the 3rd quarter of 2009. Over the ensuing 18 months, The Picerne Group invested several hundred million dollars in real estate secured notes purchased on a direct basis from major financial institutions. During this period, The Picerne Group was the largest single asset Class A apartment note buyer in the western U.S.
Opportunities to access existing Class A apartments at attractive margins through note purchases became rare in the middle of 2011, due to a recovering market. At the same time, The Picerne Group identified the beginning of a multifamily development cycle for Class A properties in The Picerne Group's core markets of Southern California, Denver and Las Vegas. The Picerne Group also identified a significant competitive advantage: the ability to finance unentitled land. As a result, The Picerne Group shifted to its current strategic plan of land acquisition, entitlement and apartment development, at above market returns.


We're going out for a lovely lunch today, but I just had to do a Nail of the Day post with Sephora's 'Mother's Day Flowers' polish first! I picked up this polish at Sephora in Singapore at Christmas. It's a very wearable deep puce, very glossy, a bit gloopy in application, but Orly Polishield came to the rescue!
It just happened to tone in well with the flowers in my garden this gorgeous sunny morning (I told you it's always sunny in Belfast!) - just look at that blue sky!
I like this colour as it's bright but very wearable and not too in your face.
It comes in this cute little mini round bottle and is incredibly pigmented. I could have got away with one coat really but I never feel happy unless there's two!
And last but most definitely not least, my 4 year old got me home this gorgeous little pot of yellow primroses. He made the dragonfly himself (there were two but one flew off apparently).

Tucked within Hotel Bel-Air surrounded by 12 lush acres of gardens, Hotel Bel-Air Spa is a quiet, luxurious hideaway where Angelenos go for total privacy when they need to unwind.
The hotel has been a favorite of celebrities and high-profile guests since 1946, and the equally private spa, which was added to the property in 2011, has become a go-to spot for VIPs, too.
Mirroring the rest of the hotel's glamorous inspired-by-nature design, the spa features warm red oak floors, hand-painted walls, three-dimensional floral ceilings and creamy cashmere throws on velvet chaise lounges. State-of-the-art facilities include seven treatment rooms plus a steam room, private nail salon, relaxation lounge and an adjacent 24-hour fitness studio.
For a truly unique experience, couples (and groups of up to 12) can book The Enclave, a 570-square-foot private treatment suite with its own tropical shaded outdoor patio, plus room service, a grand soaking tub and a soothing waterfall.
Each creamy-hued treatment room is decked in hand-painted wallpaper and features heated and padded tables, temperature controls and a variety of different music options, from nature soundscapes to classical music to indie pop, if you so choose.
Facials are the specialty here, where signature Valmont products and techniques are used to revitalize your skin. Enjoy the red carpet treatment with the Vitality of the Stars, a Hotel Bel-Air Spa exclusive that uses LED and microcurrent technology to renew and restore your complexion to a youthful glow.
Much like the legendary hotel, the spa is all about quiet luxury. While the black reception desk may be covered in Swarovski crystals, the facilities are awash in airy creams and golds.
Splurge on the age-defying skincare line Valmont at the onsite boutique, but the best part of visiting this spa is getting a treatment featuring the ultra-luxe Swiss products so you can test before you invest.
A refreshment cart displays fruit-infused water, nuts and a fruit mix, but we suggest ordering from the Wolfgang Puck restaurant menu and taking a light bite on the patio before leaving the luxurious surroundings.
Some of the treatments (like most of the massages and nail services) may be booked in your hotel room by request.
If you're traveling with your partner, we recommend booking one of the couples' treatments. These take place in a private suite that includes a comfortable outdoor patio where you can relax after your treatments.
You can't go wrong with one of the facials here, as all use Valmont products and are designed to generate real results and feel amazing.
The deep-tissue massage was one of the best we've ever had. The therapist completely focused on our areas of concern and worked hard to get out all of our knots, even jumping up on the table at one point.
In addition to separate relaxation lounges attached to both the men's and women's locker rooms, there is a coed relaxation room that looks out over an intimate outdoor patio.
Locker room highlights include the private marble rain showers and a mosaic-tiled steam room with twinkling LED lights.
The relaxation room has a few plush loungers, wood-paneled walls, gilded accents and a view (through French doors) of the outdoor patio surrounded by a wall covered in greenery.

Q: angular append ng-repeat not working I'm trying to append a ion-list with ng-repeat into element
<ion-list class="search-list" >
#
'  +
'
{{item}}
' +
'</ion-list>'

tag.search.directive.js
link: function($scope, $element, $attrs, $ctrl) {
  var ele = $element[0];
  var myElemenet = angular.element($element[0])
  var a = angular.element('<ion-list class="search-list" >
#
'  +
              '
{{item}}
' +
              '</ion-list>');
              myElemenet.append(a);
 }

However ng-repeat are not working, it shows {{item}} after ion-list is appended ,  anyone know what the problem is?

update code  :
angular.module('main').directive('dtTagSearch', function($window,
$ionicScrollDelegate) {
return {
scope: {
data: '=data',
},
link: function($scope, $element, $attrs, $ctrl, $compile) {
  var ele = $element[0];
  var myElemenet = angular.element($element[0])
  console.log($scope.data);
  var a = angular.element('<ion-list class="search-list" >
#
'  +
              '
{{item}}
' +
              '</ion-list>');
              myElemenet.append($compile(a)($scope));

 }

It give me an error $compile is not a function

A: you shall use $compile to bind the newly added elements with the current scope.
myElemenet.append($compile(a)($scope));

for directive, inject $compile at the place where you define it (not in link function):
angular.module('main').directive('dtTagSearch', function($compile, $window, $ionicScrollDelegate)

refer the below example:

angular.module("app", [])
  .controller("myCtrl", function($scope, $compile) {
    $scope.data = [1,2,3,4];
    var test = angular.element('
{{item}}
');
    angular.element('#test').append($compile(test)($scope));
  });

    {{data}}

A: The correct format for ion list is:
<ion-list>
   <ion-item ng-repeat = "item in items">
      Item {{item.id}}
      <ion-reorder-button class = "ion-navicon">
      </ion-reorder-button>
   </ion-item>
</ion-list>

So your code should be like this:
<ion-list class="search-list" >

#

         {{item}}

</ion-list>

Hope this helps.

Manchester City striker Roque Santa Cruz wants to secure a permanent switch to Betis but believes he is being priced out of a move.
The Paraguayan is one of a number of players still under contract at the Etihad but seemingly without a future under current boss Roberto Mancini.
The 30-year-old has spent the season on loan at Betis, where he has scored seven times in 33 La Liga appearances and wants to move to Seville-based side on a full-time basis.
"I'm fine here and I want to stay, I cannot not deny that," Santa Cruz said.
"But City are entitled to expect something in exchange for my transfer because they do not want to give players away."

A new technique to mitigate irregular buildings with soil structure interaction (SSI) effect subjected to critical seismic waves is presented. The L-shape in plan irregular building for various reasons was selected, subjected to seismic a load which is a big problem for structural design especially without separation gap. The L-shape in plan building with different dimensions was chosen to study, with different rectangularity ratios and various soil kinds, to show the effect of the irregular building on the seismic response. A 3D building subjected to critical earthquake was analyzed by structural analysis program (SAP2000) fixed and with SSI (three types of soils were analyzed, soft, medium and hard soils) to find their effect on top displacement, base shear, and base torsion. The straining actions were appointed and the treatment of the effect of irregular shape under critical earthquake was made by using tuned mass damper (TMD) with different configurations with SSI and without. The study improve the success of using TMDs to mitigate the effect of critical earthquake on irregular building for both cases of study as fixed base and raft foundation (SSI) with different TMDs parameters and configurations. Torsion occurs when the L-shape in plan building subjected to earthquake which may be caused harmful damage. TMDs parameters which give the most effective efficiency in the earthquake duration must be defined, that will mitigate these effects. The parameters of TMDs were studied with structure for different rectangularity ratios and soil types, with different TMD configurations. Nonlinear time history analysis is carried out by SAP2000 with El Centro earthquake wave. The numerical results of the parametric study help in understanding the seismic behavior of L-shape in plan building with TMDs mitigation system.
In this paper, the thermo-mechanical vibration characteristics of functionally graded (FG) nanobeams subjected to three types of thermal loading including uniform, linear and non-linear temperature change are investigated in the framework of third-order shear deformation beam theory which captures both the microstructural and shear deformation effects without the need for any shear correction factors. Material properties of FG nanobeam are assumed to be temperature-dependent and vary gradually along the thickness according to the power-law form. Hence, applying a third-order shear deformation beam theory (TSDBT) with more rigorous kinetics of displacements to anticipate the behaviors of FG nanobeams is more appropriate than using other theories. The small scale effect is taken into consideration based on nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen. The nonlocal equations of motion are derived through Hamilton\'s principle and they are solved applying analytical solution. The obtained results are compared with those predicted by the nonlocal Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and nonlocal Timoshenko beam theory and it is revealed that the proposed modeling can accurately predict the vibration responses of FG nanobeams. The obtained results are presented for the thermo-mechanical vibration analysis of the FG nanobeams such as the effects of material graduation, nonlocal parameter, mode number, slenderness ratio and thermal loading in detail. The present study is associated to aerospace, mechanical and nuclear engineering structures which are under thermal loads.
We present a simple and easy-to-implement lumped stiffness model to elucidate the load transfer mechanism among all individual tube shells and intertube van der Waals (vdW) interactions in transversely compressed multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Our model essentially enables theoretical predictions to be made of the relevant transverse mechanical behaviors of multi-walled tubes based on the transverse stiffness properties of single-walled tubes. We demonstrate the validity and accuracy of our model and theoretical predictions through a quantitative study of the transverse deformability of double- and triple-walled CNTs by utilizing our recently reported nanomechanical measurement data. Using the lumped stiffness model, we further evaluate the contribution of each individual tube shell and intertube vdW interaction to the strain energy absorption in the whole tube. Our results show that the innermost tube shell absorbs more strain energy than any other individual tube shells and intertube vdW interactions. Nanotubes of smaller number of walls and outer diameters are found to possess higher strain energy absorption capacities on both a per-volume and a per-weight basis. The proposed model and findings on the load transfer and the energy absorption in multi-walled CNTs directly contribute to a better understanding of their structural and mechanical properties and applications, and are also useful to study the transverse mechanical properties of other one-dimensional tubular nanostructures (e.g., boron nitride nanotubes).

This paper studies the particularities of the forced vibration of the hydro-elastic system consisting of a moving elastic plate, compressible viscous fluid and rigid wall. This study is made by employing the discrete-analytical solution method proposed in the paper by the authors (Akbarov and Panakhli (2015)). It is assumed that in the initial state the fluid flow is caused by the axial movement of the plate and the additional lineally-located time-harmonic forces act on the plate and these forces cause additional flow field in the fluid and a stress-strain state in the plate. The stress-strain state in the plate is described by utilizing the exact equations and relations of the linear elastodynamics. However, the additional fluid flow field is described with linearized Navier-Stokes equations for a compressible viscous fluid. Numerical results related to the influence of the problem parameters on the frequency response of the normal stress acting on the plate fluid interface plane and fluid flow velocity on this plane are presented and discussed. In this discussion, attention is focused on the influence of the initial plate axial moving velocity on these responses. At the same, it is established that as a result of the plate moving a resonance type of phenomenon can take place under forced vibration of the system. Moreover, numerical results regarding the influence of the fluid compressibility on these responses are also presented and discussed.
The present paper is concerned with the investigation of Rayleigh waves in a homogeneous transversely isotropic magnetothermoelastic medium with two temperature, in the presence of Hall current and rotation. The formulation is applied to the thermoelasticity theories developed by Green-Naghdi theories of Type-II and Type-III. Secular equations are derived mathematically at the stress free and thermally insulated boundaries. The values of Determinant of secular equations, phase velocity and Attenuation coefficient with respect to wave number are computed numerically. Cobalt material has been chosen for transversely isotropic medium and magnesium material is chosen for isotropic solid. The effects of rotation, magnetic field and phase velocity on the resulting quantities and on particular case of isotropic solid are depicted graphically. Some special cases are also deduced from the present investigation.
To cope with the demand on giant and durable buildings, reinforcement of concrete is a practical problem being extensively investigated in the civil engineering field. Among various reinforcing techniques, fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) has been proven to be an effective approach. In practice, such fibers include steel fibers, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) carbon fibers and asbestos fibers, with the length scale ranging from centimeters to micrometers. When advancing such technique down to the nanoscale, it is noticed that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are stronger than other fibers and can provide a better reinforcement to concrete. In the last decade, CNT-reinforced concrete attracts a lot of attentions in research. Despite high cost of CNTs at present, the growing availability of carbon materials might push the usage of CNTs into practice in the near future, making the reinforcement technique of great potential. A review of existing research works may constitute a conclusive reference and facilitate further developments. In reference to the recent experimental works, this paper reports some key evaluations on CNT-reinforced cementitious materials, covering FRC mechanism, CNT dispersion, CNT-cement structures, mechanical properties and fire safety. Emphasis is placed on the interplay between CNTs and calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) at the nanoscale. The relationship between the CNTs-cement structures and the mechanical enhancement, especially at a high-temperature condition, is discussed based on molecular dynamics simulations. After concluding remarks, challenges to improve the CNTs reinforcement technique are proposed.

In this article, the multiphysics response of magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) cantilever beam subjected to thermo-mechanical loading is analysed. The equilibrium equations of the system are obtained with the aid of the principle of total potential energy. The constitutive equations of a MEE material accounting the thermal fields are used for analysis. The corresponding finite element (FE) formulation is derived and model of the beam is generated using an eight noded 3D brick element. The 3D FE formulation developed enables the representation of governing equations in all three axes, achieving accurate results. Also, geometric, constitutive and loading assumptions required to dimensionality reduction can be avoided. Numerical evaluation is performed on the basis of the derived formulation and the influence of various mechanical loading profiles and volume fractions on the direct quantities and stresses is evaluated. In addition, an attempt has been made to compare the individual effect of thermal and mechanical loading with the combined effect. It is believed that the numerical results obtained helps in accurate design and development of sensors and actuators.
Intermolecular interaction energies and conformer geometries of the hydrogen bonded acrylamide dimers have been studied by using the second-order Moller-Plesset (MP2) perturbation theory and the density functional theory (DFT) with 17 density functionals. Dunning\'s correlation consistent basis sets (up to aug-cc-pVTZ) have been used to study the basis set effects. The DFT calculated interaction energies are compared to the reference energy data calculated by the MP2 method and the coupled cluster method at the complete basis set (CCSD(T)/CBS) limit in order to determine the relative performance of the studied density functionals. Overall, dispersion-energy-corrected density functionals outperform uncorrected ones. The wB97XD density functional is particularly effective in terms of both accuracy and computational cost in estimating the reference energy values using small basis sets and is highly recommended for similar calculations for larger systems.

LG Electronics wants to put one of the next wearables it brings to market on users' feet, based on a recently published patent spotted at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) by Android Headlines. The design is for a 'smart shoe' that detects and collects motion data using an accelerometer and gyro, recording steps and other information. It reduces 'step noise' with the help of a pressure sensor that is 'switched' with each step in relation to the halts in motion between steps to provide a more accurate readout than other inventions that perform similar functions. The associated images are relatively generic, rather than providing insight into how the shoes themselves would look. Instead, they show that the pressure sensor takes the form of a distributed network of sensors positioned all over the bottom of the shoe on the outsole with the placement of the switch itself still to be determined. Other equipment is installed towards the inner sole and embedded in the lining of the shoe.
Rather than measuring and analyzing data only applied only to the metrics of step counting, LG's most recent patent appears to cover the totality of foot health that's ascertainable via smart clothing -- going well beyond other devices. There are already plenty of other gadgets on the market that can be worn on the wrist or in-ear to measure cadence, steps, heart rate, and distance traveled. One example of that is Jabra's Elite Sport wireless earbuds. Introduced way back in 2016 before relaunching in India last year, those can not only deliver music or other media to a user's ears but additionally measure the distance between a wearer's steps, calorie burn, laps, and VO2 estimates. Smartwatches and other wrist-borne wearables accomplish the same thing via a similar array of sensors and have been on the market as activity trackers since the early 2000s.
LG seems to be looking to build on those types of technology rather than reinventing the wheel. The new device will not only be taking its measurements at the source of the motions and adding sensors for greater accuracy. The patent also includes a detailed diagram of the bones found in a human foot and other associated images show how the smart shoe would measure the placement of the foot and how those move throughout walking or other activities. So it appears that LG wants to use the data gathered to provide a more complete picture of a person's overall foot health. If that's coupled with an iteration of the company's ThinQ AI and a smartphone based user-interface, the resulting invention might inform a user of how they move and how that could be improved. An associated UI might, for example, suggest that the user steps too heavily or with their foot at an angle that could lead to damage in the long-term.
Shipments for smart clothing are expected to rise to 19.91 million units by 2022, following a growth of about 22.84-percent over 2019. Although those are small figures compared to the overall wearables market, that makes it a key area of the industry that's well-primed for new products and services. If LG does bring its smart shoes to consumers and also manages to get there first, the newly patented shoes could place it at the forefront of new trends in fitness tracking technologies.

Wasps - Better than Pesticides
Tiny wasps 'could work better than pesticides'
Tiny parasitic wasps could be used as pesticides to protect crops after researchers carried out the most detailed ever study of the creatures.
Published: 10:37PM GMT 14 Jan 2010

A group of scientists who sequenced the genomes of three parasitic wasp species say their work has revealed that the tiny insects have features useful for both pest control and medicine, and could even improve understanding of genetics and evolution.
In a study to be published in Science magazine, lead researchers John Werren, a professor of biology at the University of Rochester in New York, and Stephen Richards at the Baylor College of Medicine, Texas, described their tiny subjects: "Parasitic wasps attack and kill pest insects, but many of them are smaller than the head of a pin, so people don't even notice them or know of their important role in keeping pest numbers down," Prof Werren said.
"There are over 600,000 species of these amazing critters, and we owe them a lot. If it weren't for parasitoids and other natural enemies, we would be knee-deep in pest insects."
The tiny insects lay their eggs inside often much larger hosts, including caterpillars. When the eggs hatch, they kill the unsuspecting host from the inside out.
But the wasps only target specific insects, acting like "smart bombs," according to Prof Werren.
"Therefore, if we can harness their full potential, they would be vastly preferable to chemical pesticides, which broadly kill or poison many organisms in the environment, including us."
The wasps, which all fall in the Nasonia genus, also offer promise for genetic research.
Like the fruit fly, a common genetic research subject, the wasps are small, easily grown in a laboratory and reproduce quickly, but the wasps have only one set of chromosomes.
"A single set of chromosomes, which is more commonly found in lower single-celled organisms such as yeast, is a handy genetic tool, particularly for studying how genes interact with each other," Prof Werren said.
The scientists also uncovered that the wasps have acquired genes related to the human smallpox virus, a discovery that may have applications for the study of evolutionary processes.
"Emerging from these genome studies are a lot of opportunities for exploiting Nasonia in topics ranging from pest control to medicine, genetics, and evolution," Prof Werren said.

What Issues Should Clinton & Trump Address At First Debate?
"We definitely need to have conversations tonight about how both candidates approach jobs and the economy," said Deana Bass, partner at Bass Public Affairs.

Written By NewsOne Now | 09.26.16
Just ahead of Monday's first one-on-one presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, a new Washington Post/ABC News poll finds Clinton is leading Trump 49 percent to 47 percent among likely voters. Among registered voters, the candidates are tied at 46 percent, making the most important presidential election of our time a dead heat.
With so much at stake in the coming weeks, Roland Martin and his panel of guests discussed the current state of the race, as well as what issues the candidates and debate moderator Lester Holt should address that are important to the African-American community.
Barbara Arnwine, president and founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition, believes Clinton and Trump should address the Institute of Policy Studies report, which reveals it will take African-Americans more than two centuries to equal White wealth levels. The estimate given for Latinos to equal White wealth levels by the Institute of Policy Studies is at 88 years. A drastically shorter amount of time, but still unacceptable.
Arnwine said, "Somebody should be talking about what does that mean about what kind of policies we should have on the economic front to perpetuate equality of income."
Deana Bass, partner of Bass Public Affairs and a Donald Trump supporter, shared in the sentiment expressed by Arnwine and said, "We definitely need to have conversations tonight about how will both candidates approach jobs and the economy."
Bass also believes there needs to be a substantive dialogue on African-Americans consistently supporting the Democratic party because it is "important to understand exactly what they've done and what they plan to do to advance African-Americans and to actually earn the vote."
She continued, saying Trump needs to explain why African-American voters should support his candidacy and "articulate exactly what he would do for African-Americans."
Martin responded to Bass' belief that Trump should release a "specific plan" detailing his policies, but he keeps "hearing bumper sticker slogans" in lieu of policy initiatives.
Michelle Bernard, president and CEO of the Bernard Center Women, Politics and Pubic Policy, would like to see "Mr. Holt ask and ask over and over again until we get an answer about the candidate that Donald Trump wants to see most on the Supreme Court and how they are going to deal with erosion of voting rights." Bernard is also interested in Trump's stance on the erosion of reproductive rights.
Martin, who has been critical of Republicans over the course of the last year for their use of voter suppression tactics, would like Trump to address the disenfranchisement of minority voters.
The host of NewsOne Now said, "I don't understand why folks are unwilling to ask that question" because the nation can see the egregious actions of the North Carolina GOP who have openly blocked access to the polls. Martin said, "I doubt very seriously that question comes up, but it's one that should come up."
Watch Roland Martin and the NewsOne Now panel preview the first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in the video clip above.
What issues would you like to see the candidates address during tonight's debate?

Q: pdf.js and protected files not otherwise viewable I am using the PDF.js library to display PDf files within my site (using the pdf_viewer.js to display documents on-screen), but the PDF files I am displaying are confidential and I need to be able to show them within the site but block non-authorized public folks from being able to view the same files just by typing in theie URLs and seeing them show up right in their browser.
I tried to add the Deny from all line in my htaccess file, but that also of courfse blocked the viewer from showing the docs, so that seems to be a no-go.  Clearly anyone could simply look at inspector and see the pdf file that is being read by the viewer, so it seems a direct URL is not going to be secure in any way.
I did read about PDF.js being able to read binary data, but I have no knowledge of how I might read in a PDF in my own file system and prep it for use by the library, eveen if that means it is all a bit slower in loading to get the file contents and prep it on the fly.
Anyone have a solution that allows PDFJS to work without revealing the source PDF URL, or to otherwise read the file using local file calls?

A: Okay, after some testing, the solution is very easy:
Get the PDF data using an Ajax-called function that can figure out what actual file is to be viewed.
In that PHP file...
Read the file into memory, using fopen and fread normally.
Convert to base64 using the base64_encode
Pass that string back to the calling Javascript.
In the original calling function, use the following to convert the string to a Uint array and then pass that to the PDFJS library...
## The function that turns the base64 string into whatever a Uint8 array is...
function base64ToUint8Array(base64) {
  var raw = atob(base64);
  var uint8Array = new Uint8Array(raw.length);
  for (var i = 0; i < raw.length; i++) {
    uint8Array[i] = raw.charCodeAt(i);
  }
  return uint8Array;
}

## the guts that gets the file data, calls the above function to convert it, and then calls PDF.JS to display it
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
data: {file: <a file id or whatever distinguishes this PDF>},
url: 'getFilePDFdata.php',  (the PHP file that reads the data and returns it encoded)
success: function(base64Data){
      var pdfData = base64ToUint8Array(base64Data);
      ## Loading document.
      PDFJS.getDocument(pdfData).then(function (pdfDocument) {
       ## Document loaded, specifying document for the viewer and
       ## the (optional) linkService.
      pdfViewer.setDocument(pdfDocument);
      pdfLinkService.setDocument(pdfDocument, null);
    });
   }
});

Q: How to delete random text in notepad ++ How to delete random text in Notepad++?
Random text like
fTmgxemoyTkFCZzg
fOFo3YklCSTVZSm8
fV1BCN2N5QVRKbVE
fOHhaUFdmU3Bqelk

I have almost 400 entries like that.

A: if they always start with a "f" and have always the same size and always finish by a new line without any space maybe you could make a regular expression to do a search and replace all. I do not know enough regular expression, but i am sure someone else can give you the apropriate one. Best of luck

A: There are other programs which are better suited for this kind of problem.  In Vim, for example, you could type
:g/fTmgxemoyTkFCZzg fOFo3YklCSTVZSm8 fV1BCN2N5QVRKbVE fOHhaUFdmU3Bqelk/d

to delete any line containing that text.  In Emacs, you could type
M-x flush-lines
fTmgxemoyTkFCZzg fOFo3YklCSTVZSm8 fV1BCN2N5QVRKbVE fOHhaUFdmU3Bqelk

where M-x is the key combination Alt+X.

Like any agnostic, I don't deny the possibility of God's existence. But I do not believe that you can live up to any divine miracle with folded arms. I believe that people, under certain circumstances, are capable of putting extra efforts and therefore capable of miracles.
Eugene Nayshtetik,President
PLATFORM 20K R&D LAB
The activity of Platform 20k research laboratory is focused on developing ways to prevent cardiovascular diseases and detect them in early stages. To save the lives of individuals and to increase the health level of the nation.
Platform 20K has to its credit the unprecedented cardio screening in the history of Ukraine. The action was held from September 28 to November 21, 2015. Its goal was to provide the access to modern methods of electrocardiography and the benefits of early detection of cardiovascular pathologies to the residents of the most remote and inaccessible rural areas. To implement measures for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and to promote a healthy lifestyle in that regions.
The examination was conducted by 11 mobile teams of doctors (1 doctor and 1 nurse in each team) equipped with IV generation "Oracle" electrocardiographic systems, glucometers, blood pressure monitors, sufficient stock of medicines and other aids. In the case of diagnosed pathologies, recommendations for further recourse to the relevant specialists were given. In the case of detecting acute conditions patients were hospitalised or, if possible, emergency medical care was provided immediately.
The screening took place in accordance with international standards, in particular: Minnesota code, Selvester QRS Score, CIIS.
The primary action was designed to carry out cardio-diagnostics of 20,000 residents. In fact, during the 52 days of action the 22,433 patients in 565 localities were examined.
There is no doubt in the importance of such action because cardiovascular diseases are the cause of death No1 among Ukrainians. Every year, they take away the lives of more than 300k people, it's like erasing from the map of our country one regional centre after another. Prevention, early detection, and treatment of cardiovascular pathologies can significantly affect the demographic situation of the entire state.
The analysis of the results shows what to improve in the public health system for the sake of social and economic development. That is a confident step toward healthy and happy future for all of us.

HRV (Heart Rate Variability) analysis is an established method of monitoring for various health parameters:
Emotional states
Immunity factors
Signs of ageing, etc.
But in order to make accurate and, most importantly, lifestyle changing conclusions the measuring must be extremely precise and performed on a regular basis. Available ECG machines were either stationary or bulky, with a lot of wires, which made them totally unsuitable for everyday wear. That was limiting HRV analysis application to the clinical environment and its potential in full were accessible mostly for astronauts and pro-athletes.
Platform 20K lab developed world's first one wrist ECG band that performs HRV analysis with the same accuracy as an electrocardiograph. The wristband is ISO / HL7 and HIPAA compliant. It measures >80 health parameters and helps you to get yourself into peak health state, both physical and mental.
At the core of Planexta wristband technology are the ECG sensors capable of operating with high precision on dry skin and in any usage conditions, as well as software to provide continuous monitoring of health state.
The data from wristband is transmitted to world's first PRECISE service, also developed by Platform 20K, that continuously monitor, record and analyse vital parameters. This service also can be used by any medical professional to analyse and store cardiovascular data from any internet-enabled cardiograph.
Technology developed by Platform 20K has the potential to tackle the #1 cause of death worldwide and save lives of 15 million people per annum. According to NHS CDC protocol, approved by the World Health Organisation, the early mitigation of cardiovascular risks is a major factor contributing to life extension (+5 years on average).
The Platform 20K approach is to develop technologies aimed to accelerate medical processes and facilitate access to health resources. This means a transition from periodical health checkups to permanent monitoring of conditions, body parameters, physical and emotional health state and other data relevant to the specific person.
The format of a wearable device makes possible to track the effectiveness of preventive measures. For example, the health effects of smoking cessation calculated as a reduction of cardiovascular risk.
Thanks to the PRECISE software solution it is possible collect biodata: a history of the specific user and general data array. Its analysis instantly gives deep, meaningful insights into person's health that are transformed into the Concept of Health Coaching. The person receives practical recommendations and guidance on what's harmful to one's health, how to avoid it and what to do to improve your health state and get into the best possible condition.
Giving people control over their health and its determinants is the key to wellbeing, productivity, and longevity. Continuous monitoring of health parameters enables people to actively participate in the management of their own health, modify behaviour and track what influence it has on their organisms.
