Q: How to test non-exported typescript functions with jest without emitting js files I have some non-exported functions I want to test in jest.  In JavaScript, I'd use rewire.  In order to test TypeScript using rewire, you point your rewire() call at the emitted JavaScript file rather than the TypeScript file.
However, I'm using webpack to compile my TS, so in my tsconfig.json, I have { compilerOptions: { noEmit: true } }, and there is no emitted file to point rewire at.
How can I test my non-exported functions?

A: I came up with a less-than-ideal but better-than-exporting workaround.
jest.config.js
module.exports = {
  // ...
  globals: {
    TEST: true,
    // ...
  }
};

global.d.ts
export {};
declare global {
  const TEST: boolean;
  // ...
}

webpack.config.js
const { DefinePlugin } = require('webpack');
module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    new DefinePlugin({ TEST: 'false' })
  ]
};

my-module.ts
function myNonExportedFunction() {
  // ...
}

if (TEST) {
  module.exports.myNonExportedFunction = myNonExportedFunction;
}

__tests__/module.ts
const { myNonExportedFunction } = require('../my-module');

test('myNonExportedFunction', () => {
  // ...
});

The two drawbacks to this method are:

*

*you're including minimal test code in your production code (though webpack can remove code based on constants)

*you lose strong typing on your non-exported functions, though you lose that type-safety with rewire anyway

Soros-Funded Wikipedia Redefines 'Recession,' Edits Page at Least 116 Times This Week
July 29th, 2022 12:45 PM
Wikipedia, a site funded by George Soros, followed the liberal media's lead in shielding the Biden administration on bad economic news. The online encyclopedia literally redefined the word recession on its website in recent days.
The move sparked outrage on Twitter, with even Tesla CEO Elon Musk slamming Wikipedia in a viral tweet: "Wikipedia is losing its objectivity."
Wikipedia allowed at least 116 edits to the "recession" page on its site in the past week alone. It appeared to be an attempt to downplay the "technical definition" of recession, which is characterized by two quarters of negative GDP growth. After the government released a July 28 report revealing that GDP had indeed fallen for a second-consecutive quarter by 0.9 percent, some Twitter users speculated about whether the timing was pure coincidence.
The Wikimedia Foundation, which hosts Wikipedia, reported in 2018 that Soros committed $2 million to support the platform. "'The Endowment is not just a practical way to support Wikipedia,'" Soros said at the time. "'My gift represents a commitment to the ideals of open knowledge—and to the long-term importance of free knowledge sources that benefit people around the world.'"
Debate over the definition of the word "recession" has heated up in recent days, and it seems that even Wikipedia, one of the most influential websites in the world, has jumped into the fight. MRC Business verified online claims that at least one particular sentence on the word "recession" was altered as recently as July 28, the same day of the government report. There were 41 total edits of the "recession" page that same day.
Even early in the morning on July 28, the day the government dropped its GDP report that confirmed recession fears, Wikipedia's definition of a "recession" was still pretty straightforward: "While national definitions may vary, two consecutive quarters of decline in a country's" GDP "is commonly used as a practical definition of a recession." [Emphasis added].
Another revision also on July 28 altered that definition and spun the "two consecutive quarters" rule as applying to "the United Kingdom and other countries": "There is no global consensus on the definition of a recession. In the United States, it is defined as "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the market, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real [[GDP]], real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales."
As of this story's publication, the most current definition is even further removed from the original: "Although the definition of a recession varies between different countries and scholars, two consecutive quarters of decline in a country's real gross domestic product is commonly used as a practical definition of a recession."
Wikipedia editors also added two warning labels to the top of the "recession" page, cautioning readers that "An outdated version of this article has been widely circulated," and "Initial news reports" about this page "may be unreliable."
MRC Business has yet to receive comment from Wikipedia on why so many changes were allowed before the second-quarter GDP report dropped early on July 28.

In der ersten Woche werden wir darüber sprechen, wie Texte digitalisiert und zum Beispiel in XML dargestellt werden können und was OCR (optical character recognition) für die Anwendung in der Praxis bedeutet. Wir befassen uns außerdem mit der Erstellung von Korpora und den Schwierigkeiten, denen wir dabei begegnen können. Viel Spaß!
Hello, my name is Sara Wick.
We are here in the digitisation center in the Zentralbibliothek in Zurich.
- My name is Peter Moerkerk, I'm the head of the digitisation centre.
- What are the most important goals of your current digitisation projects. - At the moment, we have four different projects.
and make them available as searchable PDF files.
Another project is "Book on Demand", "eBook on Demand".
which we will send back as PDF.
This is a Europe-wide project.
The biggest project in the library of Zurich is the project DigiTUR, where "TUR" stands for Turicensia.
both from the city and the canton of Zurich.
have put together a large amount of material with their staff.
and made it available online to the general public, free of charge and in high quality.
and contains more than 28.000 items.
together with the ETH and the city Basel.
At the moment, approximately 15.000 documents can be found on this platform.
DigiTUR, is a project where 35 people are currently involved.
In my department we already have 6 new employees.
and several librarians in the Department of Ancient Prints as well as in the Conservation Department.
and assess the potential digitisation.
The duration of the project DigiTUR is five years.
That was one of the lottery fund's requirements.
of almost CHF 10 million.
And for these CHF 10 million, we will offer a lot after the expiry.
[Laughs] I will give you some numbers.
1 million pages from newspapers.
- To transport the material to the right place at the right time.
from 35mm, negative, to double-A0, oil paintings and manuscript maps.
Or panorama maps, with a length of 6 or 7 meters.
to keep the recently hired people busy is really a big challenge. At the beginning, that was our greatest challenge.
the single Departments are supplied with sufficient digital copies.
An what are they doing with our digitised copies?
Some of them are being structured on the platforms.
you surely don't want to look for a certain chapter on every single page.
That's what I mean by structuring, it allows you to jump from chapter to chapter.
free of charge and with a high quality.
Quantity and Quality! That's important!
We are not primarily concerned with quantity.
That is important, because we are dealing with a lot of data here. But the quality needs to be good.
It has to be good in terms of colour and content.
and quality in terms of colour and sharpness.
We attach importance to that and that the copies can be used in a sustainable way.
"well you digitised that book, but 20 pages are missing actually!"
and their content is thus missing. No, we will spare no effort to meet these requirements.
in order to reach such high quality standards?
- It is important to choose the right equipment.
that might sound like a short period, but it is indeed a relatively long time. Yes, 12 years ago we started with the digitization project.
to have equipment that is able to deal with such volume.
the quality is high but they are even faster.
We continuously check the possibilities that we have because it makes a huge difference if it takes 1 minute or 10 seconds to scan something.
Then it is important to have different scanners available.
the smallest book that we have with 1.8 cm.
Or our largest panorama map with almost 8 meters.
We also have a huge selection of devices, even with different opening angles.
Our Conservation Department dictates which opening angle we are allowed to use, and we can apply scanners with 30° to 60°, 90° and 180°.
And we also have machines that scan with glass.
Well, we have materials that can be pressed lightly under glass.
that under no circumstances should come into contact with glass, because the gold could jump off.
For all these different problems we have a suitable machine.
And for a sustainable storage, what are the challenges there?
We were supported in an excellent way by our IT team.
there are no projects without the contribution of IT.
And also for digitization IT is needed.
and we scan directly on the server. The lines needed to deal with this amount of data, first of all.
and needed to wait for 20 seconds because it needed some time to save the digital copies.
and there are no more bottlenecks during scanning.
We are able to save the copies and also save redundantly.
and longterm safeguarding of the recorded data.
We were able to build a new computer centre, down here in the basement. And I have to praise our IT department for that.
You can imagine that there is nothing more tragic than working for 5 entire years and then everything is gone.
[laugh] That's a catastrophe, just try to imagine.
- Yes, that wouldn't be good. - No, it wouldn't.
- We have another expert here with us.
and I work at the Zentralbibliothek Zurich as a specialist for German studies.
What kind of visions does a library like the Zentralbibliothek have in terms of availability of digital copies in the field of Digital Humanities?
that we provide appropriate metadata.
that are accessible via library catalogue and specialised platforms like e-rara and e-manuscripta.
i. e. they can be referenced permanently and are thus also useful in science.
But that is not enough for the demands of science in the longer term.
in order to adjust the metadata in a more detailed way.
i.e. full texts should thus be available in machine-readable form.
according to the TEI guidelines.
and for the long-term archiving at a later stage.
and store them in a suitable format.
- For one thing, these meta data are important for the library, but digitised copies can also be used in other fields of action.
are the disposition of digitised copies in the right form on the one hand, but it can go beyond that, we can also act as consultants.
So, we can point to the right platforms, the right infrastructures.
by using linked open data technologies and link the items to their corresponding web resources.
which would be the digitised copy at the beginning.
and that we offer support regarding the long-term storage of such data.
Another important keyword is "reusability"
that needs to be guaranteed for research data.
And I think, that also in this case, libraries can support such a process.

The In-between World of Chaplaincy
By Rev. Barbara Talcott, School Chaplain
I am a School Chaplain. "That's a church person, right?" Well, no, not really—but yes, kind of. "Oh, so you're a school person." Yes, but also not really. It's kind of complicated. To be honest, we chaplains don't fit very well into any of the categories most people are comfortable with.
I knew from the start of my process toward ordination that I was called to be a school chaplain, but I didn't realize until after I was ordained how unusual that made me. Chaplaincy is definitely a job that other ordained ministers—and even most churchgoers—have trouble understanding and appreciating, because although many of us have been ordained by the Church, we don't work in churches. In fact, we spend much of our ministry serving people who are non-Christian, and even non-religious. We have very different rhythms to our weeks and years, and because of our school responsibilities we can't attend almost any of the events organized to gather and support parish clergy. To our fellow clergy and the people in the pews on Sunday, then, we can have the look and feel of outsiders. Many of them are more comfortable thinking of us as teachers than as ministers. And in church-related groups, chaplains are often made to feel marginal, as if somehow we were not "real" members of the clergy.
That would be just fine—what's wrong with being categorized as a teacher, after all?—except that as school chaplains we also often have the look and feel of "outsiders" to our fellow teachers and administrators. We have responsibilities to God, to the institutional Church, and to the profession of ministry that can make our school colleagues baffled and even suspicious. In the ordination vows I took, I publicly committed myself to the life and work of the Church and vowed to obey my Bishop and other ministers who have authority over me. I don't remember ever making a vow like that to a school! We are regularly drawn away from school activities by our chaplaincy responsibilities, particularly by the time we have to put into preaching, by pastoral needs in the community, and by the time it takes to plan and lead worship. As a result, many school teachers and administrators are more comfortable thinking of us as ministers than as teachers. And yes, in a group of school colleagues, chaplains can also feel a bit marginal, as if somehow we are not "real" members of the faculty.
So really, we are in-between people. But why on earth, given everything that a school has to accomplish, would a school bother having these marginal folks hanging around? What is a school chaplain for?
Well, at a church school like St. Mark's this is less hard to answer than it is at other schools. There is a chapel building to be stewarded and plenty of traditional services that have to be planned and staffed: Morning and Evening Chapels, Faculty Installation, Voluntary Eucharist, Evening Meditation, Baccalaureate. That is the most basic level of the job: taking care of the chapel building and making the required services happen. But if we step up and actually do our job well, these spaces and these services should offer little islands of time and space quite intentionally away from all of the rest of the things the school has to accomplish.
The chaplaincy is specifically tasked to preserve the chapel spaces and the chapel times as "set aside" places, marginal places, places where the pressure to accomplish can stop and where people can withdraw enough to get some perspective on the bigger picture of what it is to be alive and to be human. Chapel is not the only place where people can get perspective, of course, but if the chapel and the chaplaincy are not offering that kind of perspective then even I have got to wonder what we are here for. In order to successfully offer marginal experiences, chaplains pretty much have to be marginal people. To act as a bridge from one perspective to another, from one imperative to another, chaplains have to have one foot on each side and be willing to inhabit in both worlds simultaneously, no matter how odd that can make them seem to others, and no matter how lonely it can get.
There is one final thing I want to say about chaplains and perspective. We are not here, living in our in-between roles, only to give people opportunities to put things in perspective. We are also here to be with people when perspective is forced on them without their ever asking for it or wanting it. While students are enclosed in the community of St. Mark's, the world does not maintain suspended animation awaiting their return. Car crashes and scary medical diagnoses, divorces, deaths and other major life changes continue apace, and school chaplains are trained and ready to accompany people—both individually and as a community—through some of the saddest and scariest times in their lives.
I love being a school chaplain; I love being tasked to help students find the perspective they want, and also navigate the perspective they definitely don't want. I even love being kind of marginal and in-between. As school chaplains we tell students to do their best on their schoolwork, and then immediately remind them that, when you step back and get some perspective, how they do on their schoolwork doesn't matter even a little bit.
Mr. Stephen Hebert and I are happy to welcome anyone to the offbeat, kind of marginal, happily irrational, through-the-looking-glass world of the chaplaincy. We like what we do, and we like it even better when we have company.
The Rev. Barbara Talcott is in her sixth year as St. Mark's School Chaplain and the Religion Department Head. She is also the parent of a VI Former.

When a user creates a collection and makes that accessible to a group of people, all pages within the collection receive the same access permissions (wanted behavior).
When the user adds another page to the collection, this page immediately takes on these access permissions as well (wanted behavior). However, the user is not alerted to that fact but it is only implied.
It should be more obvious that when a page gets added to a collection that the same access permissions apply as to the rest of the collection to give the user the chance to review these access permissions.
"Page added to collection and took access from the collection. Collection updated to include access from new page."
Clarification for my initial report: A message is displayed saying that the access permissions have been updated, but there is no shared page notification sent out because the pages had already been shared previously. Sure, this avoids notifications, but the current message is not very obvious (it's small and in green).
I think a popup message would be better than just a screen confirmation as that is overlooked very easily. We might also have to have different messages, e.g. one for when the collection takes on the access permissions of the pages that were added to the collection and another one for when a new page is added to a collection and takes on these sharing permissions.
The issue is not that the user doesn't know what pages are in the collection, but that the information about the access permissions is not easily visible. Thus, for this bug here I would not add the pages on /view/share.php for the collection. If that is an issue for users, it should receive it's own feature request.
as well because their access permissions will have also changed.

Key VEGF signaling system components and matrix metalloproteinases in the diagnosis and prognosis of overall survival of patients with renal cell cancer
Kushlinskii N.E., Gershtein E.S., Kolpakov A.V., Bezhanova S.D., Mushtenko V.V., Korotkova E.A., Pushkar D.Y., Bazaev V.V.
Background: Evaluation and search for new molecular markers of renal cell cancer, first of all, associated with angiogenic and invasive activity, continue to be highly relevant. In our previous publications, we have assessed the potential diagnostic value of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) 2, 7, 8, and 9, their tissue inhibitor type 1 (TIMP1) and components of the VEGF signaling system in renal cell cancer. Aim: To assess the role of serum VEGF, VEGFR1, VEGFR2, MMP2, 7, 8, 9, and TIMP1 levels in renal cell patients as diagnostic and prognostic markers of overall survival. Materials and methods: 99 renal cell cancer patients (94 primary and 5 at progression) were recruited into the study. The control group included 97 healthy control blood donors. Ninety three (93) primary patients with renal cell cancer were followed for 1 to 45 (median, 26) months for assessment of their overall survival. Serum concentrations of the study proteins were measured by direct immunoenzyme analysis (Quantikine® ELISA kits, R&D Systems, США). Results: Serum VEGF, VEGFR1, VEGFR2, MMP7, MMP8, and TIMP1 levels in renal cell cancer patients are significantly higher than those in the control group. The diagnostic characteristics of the markers are considerably different, the most reliable marker with 84% sensitivity at 87.5% specificity being MMP7. VEGFR1, MMP7, MMP8, and TIMP1 were positively associated with disease stage and TNM indices. MMP7 and TIMP1 levels also increased with a higher tumor grade. MMP7 was found to be a significant unfavorable prognostic factor for overall survival: the 3-years survival in those with low (< 6.3 ng/ml) marker level amounted to 93%, whereas with high, 51% (p < 0.001). MMP7 prognostic value remained significant also in stage I renal cancer: after 3-years' follow-up, all patients with low MMP7 were alive, while survival of those with high marker levels was 72% (p=0.02). Increased serum MMP8 level (> 51 ng/ml) also had an unfavorable prognostic value in the whole renal cell cancer patient group, with 3-years' survival being 78 and 58% for low and high levels, respectively (p < 0.01). The components of VEGF signaling system, MMP2, MMP9, and TIMP1 had no significant prognostic values. Conclusion: MMP7 should be viewed as the most promising diagnostic and prognostic renal cell cancer marker. VEGF and its soluble receptors could be useful for monitoring of patients receiving anti-angiogenic treatments and prediction of their sensitivity to these agents.
The pathological anatomy of alcoholic disease
Paukov V.S., Erokhin Y.A.
The problem of alcohol abuse is high on the agenda for the whole world both medically and socially. However, the fight against this disease is less than effective, mostly due to the fact that its solution has been left to psychiatrists and experts in narcology. They are making attempts to treat alcoholism, a disease which results from long-term, chronic alcohol intoxication and alcohol dependence. What is missed here is a long period of excessive use of hard drinks characterized by alcohol cravings with no alcohol dependence; this period is called "excessive alcohol consumption". Based on the results of 1113 autopsies of patients aged 18 to 73 years who died at home or in a hospital, the authors propose the concept of the alcohol disease, whose pathogenesis consists of 3 stages: stage 1, episodic alcohol intoxication, stage 2, excessive alcohol drinking, and stage 3, alcoholism and its complications. The article describes the changes over time that can be found in the liver, vessels and other organs. The authors emphasize that the formation of Mallory bodies (auto-antigens), mainly in the stage of alcoholism, triggers an irreversible autoimmune inflammatory reaction explaining an extremely poor effect of alcoholism treatment. In this regard, excessive alcohol drinking is being suggested as a separate stage, which should be treated by internists.
Clinical and morphological analysis of dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus and columnar-lined esophagus
Mikhaleva L.M., Voytkovskaya K.S., Fedorov E.D., Birukov A.E., Gracheva N.A., Shegoleva N.N., Chigrai L.V., Shidii-Zakrua A.V.
Background: Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a precan-cerous disease of the esophagus. The risk of adenocarcinoma in BE patients increases with the extension of segment length and with the presence of dysplasia. Columnar-lined esophagus (CLE) devoid goblet cells is also associated with dysplasia and adenocarcinoma, however, with a lower risk. Aim: To perform clinical and morphological analysis of patients with BE with goblet cells and CLE devoid goblet cells on the presence or absence of dysplasia. Materials and methods: This prospective clinical morphological study included 78 patients with columnar-lined esophagus at EGDS, among them 20 patients with a long segment, 58 patients with a short segment. Biopsy specimens from the CLE area of the distal part of the esophagus were stained by hematoxylin and eosin and standard PAS-reaction with Alcian blue. Histological examination showed BE with goblet cells in 49 patients and CLE devoid goblet cells in 29 patients. In those with BE, the morphometric analysis of the goblet cells density was performed and the number of the affected crypts was counted in dysplastic fragments. Results: In the short segment group, the male to female ratio was ~ 1:1.1, and CLE devoid goblet cells was found in 53% of cases (27/58 patients), and BE with goblet cells in 57% of cases (31/58 patients). In the long segment group, the male to female ratio was ~ 2.3:1, along with predominance of BE with goblet cells cases (18/20 patients, 90%) and high density of goblet cells (11/18 patients, 61%). The rates of goblet cells detection increased with the extension of the segment length (p < 0.05). The relative goblet cells density in the patients with the long BE segment was also significantly higher than in the short segment group (p < 0.001). Advanced inflammatory infiltration was found in 22 of 58 (38%) cases with the short segment and in 13 of 20 patients with the long one (65%, p = 0.012). The rates of erosion in the long segment group were 1.62-fold higher and ulcerations 3.87-fold higher (p = 0.014). Esophageal dysplasia was identified in 10 of 20 cases (50%) with the long segment and in 2 of 58 cases (3.4%) with the short segment. In 10 of 12 cases (83.3%) dysplasia was multifocal and involved from 2 to 10 crypts (in total, up to 25 crypts). Conclusion: The long segment of metaplasia was associated with higher rates of active chronic esophagitis, higher presence of goblet cells and their higher density. Dysplasia was found in 10 patients with three and more risk factors of progression (male gender, long segment, hiatal hernia, etc.). In most cases, the biopsy samples showed multiple foci of dysplasia.

Specifics of type IV collagen expression in basal cell skin carcinoma
Khlebnikova A.N., Belova L.A., Gurevich L.E., Selezneva E.V., Sedova T.G.
Rationale: Type IV collagen is the main component of the basal membrane ensuring its integrity. Basal membrane destruction is associated with absent type IV collagen expression being directly related to an increased tumor invasion risk. Specifics of the protein expression in various morphological types of basal cell carcinoma have not been well described. Aim: To study the association between type IV collagen expression and basal cell carcinoma morphological structure and invasion potential. Materials and methods: We performed an immunohistochemistry analysis with anti-type IV collagen antibodies on 30 biopsy specimens of the skin involved with basal cell carcinoma. Results: The superficial multicentric type of basal cell carcinoma differed from the solid, micronodular, and infiltrative types by linear continuous type IV collagen expression (р < 0.0083). Most often, there was no type IV collagen expression in the micronodular and infiltrative basal cell carcinomas; however, no significant difference of the solid type and each of the abovementioned types was found. Aggressive basal cell carcinoma types (micronodular and infiltrative, taken together) were significantly different (р = 0.033) from the solid type by the absence of type IV collagen expression. Linear continuous expression was seen exclusively in basal cell carcinomas with the invasion of < 0.825 mm. Conclusion: We have identified the difference in type IV collagen expression depending on the morphological type of basal cell skin carcinoma, prevailing linear continuous expression in the superficial multicentric type and its absence in the micronodular and infiltrative types.

Clinical and morphological characteristics IgG4-associated retroperitoneal fibrosis
Lishchuk S.V., Dubova E.A., Pavlov K.A., Borbat A.M., Udalov Y.D.
Background: Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RF) is a rare disease with inflammation and fibrosis of the retroperitoneal soft tissues and adjacent organ involvement. At present, a proportion of RF cases are believed to be IgG4-associated. Aim: Clinical and morphological comparison of the IgG4-associated and idiopathic (non-IgG-associated) RF. Materials and methods: The study was based on a comprehensive morphological assessment of surgical and biopsy samples taken from 12 RF patients. In addition to hematoxylin eosin stained specimens, we performed immunohistochemistry (IHC) with determination of absolute CD138+ counts, IgG+ and IgG4+ cells in the inflammatory infiltration, as well as IgG4/IgG and IgG4+/CD138+ ratios. Results: The proportion the IgG4-associated RF was 66.7% (8/12). The majority of IgG4-associated RF patients were men, with the mean age of 54.9 ± 10.3 years. Idiopathic RF was found without any gender imbalance in the younger patients. In all cases of IgG4-associated RF, the adjacent organs were also involved, whereas in those with idiopathic RF the aortic wall was involved in only half of the cases. Morphological specimen investigation in IgG4-associated RF showed signs characteristic for an IgG4-associated disorder, such as advanced lymphoplasmocytic infiltration, storiform fibrosis, and obliterating phlebitis. IgG4+ plasma cells numbers in the infiltrates was at least 25 per high-power field, and the IgG4+/IgG+ and IgG4+/CD138+ ratios exceeded 50% in all cases. No signs of an IgG4-associated disease were found in idiopathic RF, with significantly lower numbers of IgG+ and IgG4+ plasma cells in the infiltrations and the IgG4+/IgG+ ratio below 10%. Conclusion: A big proportion of RF is IgG4-associated, being an intrinsic feature of a systemic autoimmune IgG4-associated disease. The differential diagnosis should be based on the morphological assessment and immunohistochemistry results with obligatory identification of CD138, IgG, and IgG4 expression in the involved tissues. In some cases, it allows for avoidance of an unnecessary surgery. Reliable and accurate diagnosis would determine the subsequent treatment strategy of these patients.
Patient-derived xenograft model of well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor in immunodeficient Balb/c Nude mice
Trifanov V.S., Maksimov A.Y., Goncharova A.S., Lukbanova E.A., Karnaukhov N.S., Kit S.O., Volkova A.V., Protasova T.P., Tkachev S.Y., Khodakova D.V., Zaikina E.V., Mindar M.V., Akulshina I.M.
Background: Orthotopic patient-derived xenografts (PDX) in immunodeficient mice are recognized as the most adequate neoplastic model due to their ability to maintain primary tumor properties after implantation. They can be used to study anti-neoplastic effects of pharmacological substances in vivo and to investigate characteristics and mechanisms of carcinogenesis. Results of preclinical studies of pharmacological substances obtained with PDX models are virtually no different from those of subsequent clinical trials. Aim: To develop an orthotopic PDX model of a highly differentiated human pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET) by implanting a fragment of the patient's tumor into the pancreas of immunodeficient mice. Materials and methods: A tumor fragment was obtained from a patient with a highly differentiated pNET G2 and liver metastasis. Fifteen (15) male immunodeficient Balb/c Nude mice with a mass of 22-24 grams were used to establish the orthotopic PDX model of human well-differentiated pNET. A fragment of primary pNET was orthotopically transplanted into the pancreas of 10 animals. A fragment of the metastatic lesion was transplanted into the liver of 5 animals. The animals were followed for up to 45 days. In vivo monitoring of the tumor growth was performed with a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system (ClinScan, Bruker BioSpin, Rheinstetten, Germany). At the end of the experiment, animals were euthanized and autopsies were performed, with routine histopathological examination and immunohistochemical study with antibodies to human chromogranin A, synaptophysin, and the marker of proliferative activity (Ki-67) of both original donor tumor and orthotopic pancreatic and liver xenografts. Results: Obvious changes in the mice condition were noticed at 30 days after surgery. They manifested as an increase in abdominal distension, swelling, and cyanosis in the projection of the pancreas. MRI showed a homogeneous neoplasm in the pancreas. At autopsy, the engraftment rate was 73% of all study animals, with yellow masses with even contours and a volume of about 100 cm3 present within the yellow-pink pancreatic tissues. The morphological assessment showed histological similarity between the original patient's tumor and patient-derived xenografts, which were identified as highly differentiated G2 pNETs. At immunohistochemical assessment, the patient's primary and metastatic tumor tissue specimens expressed anti-chromogranin A (full-blown cytoplasmic reaction) and anti-synaptophysin (mild cytoplasmic reaction) antibodies. Ki-67 was positive in 5.2% of the cells. An immunohistochemical study of the orthotopic tumor fragments and heterotopic tumor fragments showed moderate cytoplasmic staining with antibodies to chromogranin A and synaptophysin. The rate of Ki-67 in the orthotopic pNET model and metastatic model does not exceed 5% and 8%, respectively. Conclusion: Engraftment of tumor material after transplantation of human pancreatic cancer was observed in 73% of the cases, which should be considered a good first passage implantation result. The morphological studies confirmed that the orthotopic PDX was a well-differentiated pNET, histologically corresponding to the donor tumor. The model created in the experiment mirrors the histological characteristics of the donor tumor and can be used in preclinical studies of new treatments for well-differentiated pNETs, including those of antitumor activity of new pharmacological substances.
Merkel cell carcinoma (neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin): a lecture with a brief overview of 19 cases and demonstration of two clinical observations
Gurevich L.E., Grishina E.E.
The lecture deals with epidemiology, clinical morphological and genetic characteristics of a rare aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin, or Merkel cell carcinoma (MC). We describe the algorithms for the differential diagnosis of these tumors and their treatment approaches, and focus on the main unresolved issues, such as delayed and erroneous diagnosis, the search for new diagnostic markers and targets for the development of more effective treatment methods. We provide a brief clinical and morphological analysis of 19 own observations of MC in 10 men and 9 women aged 40 to 85 years (57.9% of the patients were above 60 years, 31.6% from 50 to 60 years, and 10.5%, below 50 years). In 42.1% of the cases, the tumors were located in the head, in 15.8% in the limbs, and in 15.8% in the trunk and soft tissues; in the rest of the cases the primary tumor location was not identified. Only in 4 cases MC was diagnosed immediately; in all other cases, the initial diagnoses had been wrong. The diagnosis of MC was established after the analysis of medical files, histological and immunohistochemical biopsy studies and was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. All the tumors were expressing synaptophysin, chromogranin A, CD56; in all cases except one, cytokeratin 20 of the dote-like type, type 2A somatostatin receptors in 66.7%, nuclear survivin in 100%, p53 in 88.9%, CD117 in 57.1%. To illustrate the topic, we present 2 clinical observations of MC. The first case was an 82-year old man who had been living for a long time in the territory with increased sun radiation. A bright red tumor developed on his left upper eyelid, becoming gigantic (5 cm in diameter) within 2 months and bleeding. Despite the radical excision of the tumor, at 2 months after the surgery he developed local recurrence and metastases in regional lymph nodes. Thereafter, he underwent the orbital exenteration and lymphodissection of the affected lymph nodes. The second observation was a 63-year old man. At 10 years after he had had his renal transplant, he developed a mixed skin tumor on the anterior neck surface. The tumor was represented by MC and porocarcinoma with signs of squamous and sebaceous differentiation. These observations demonstrate MC rapid growth, its aggressive potential and such risk factors as prolonged high insolation and long-term drug immunosuppression after organ transplantation. Conclusion: At present, the rarity and low understanding of MC, its rapid growth, late diagnosis, aggressive biological potential and the lack of uniform treatment standards do not allow for cure in most such patients. The solution to the problem lies in the search for the cellular targets that would allow for the development of new effective targeted treatments for these aggressive tumors. In addition, integration of any results obtained in multicenter studies of the disease is essential.
Primary thyroid-like follicular renal carcinoma: a clinical case and literature review
Volchenko N.N., Goeva N.S., Vorobyev N.V., Muradyan A.G., Ratushnaya V.V.
Primary thyroid-like follicular renal cell carcinoma is an extremely rare type of renal cell cancer with low malignancy potential and relatively good prognosis. It has not been included into the World Health Organization classification of renal tumors. This tumor is characterized by morphology similar to primary thyroid follicular cancer, but with different immune phenotype, which is important for morphological diagnosis. Surgery has been recognized as the only curative treatment. We describe our own observation of follicular renal carcinoma in a 68-year old man, in whom renal tumor was identified during his regular examination due to past colon cancer. The disease was asymptomatic. The patient had elective laparoscopic nephrectomy. At pathological assessment, the tumor looked like a follicular thyroid neoplasm. Immunohistochemistry revealed no expression of RCC, TTF-1, thyroglobulin, CD-10, synaptophysin, and chromogranin A. The differential diagnosis included metastatic primary thyroid malignancy as the most probable diagnosis, as well as highly differentiated neuroendocrine tumor and the so-called "thyroid kidney" that might occur in long-standing chronic pyelonephritis. Conclusion: The case of primary follicular renal carcinoma illustrates that this rare renal tumor is heterogeneous both in its structure and tumor cell immunophenotypes. Longer follow-up and accumulation of larger numbers of the disease is needed. This would allow for a more objective assessment of its prevalence in the population, of its clinical characteristics and morphological variability.
Myxoid adrenal cortical carcinoma, a rare type of adrenal cortical cancer. A case report
Korosteleva P.A., Krivosheev A.V., Vorontsova S.V., Voronkova I.A., Britvin T.A., Krivosheeva Y.G.
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy of the adrenal cortex with aggressive clinical behavior and an unfavorable prognosis. Its estimated annual incidence is 0.5 to 2 cases per 1,000 000. The unfavorable prognostic factors include its rare variants, such as myxoid ACC. This ACC type was first reported as early as in 1979; however, its low prevalence hinders any reliable assessment of its prognostic value. Few published data indicate more than 2-fold lower median survival of patients with myxoid ACC, compared to that in classical ACC. Here we present a rare clinical case of myxoid ACC in a 56-year old woman with Cushing's syndrome, invasion of the adjacent tissues and organ by the time of diagnosis, rapid progression of the disease with fatal outcome. We discuss the variations of the myxoid component, associated with different cellular growth patterns in ACC. This clinical case demonstrates the aggressive course of myxoid ACC type, compared to the classical one, and is aimed at drawing the attention of various medical specialists to rare ACC variants.

Clearly some members of Heineken's ad agency have been reading the social science literature as evidenced by this recent ad (video below), which has been all over my social feed, as well as having been written about in Vox, The Huffington Post, Fast Company, The Today Show, The Guardian, and many other places. The ad has 3 sets of partisans who disagree on the hot button issues of climate change, feminism, and perceptions of those who are trans-gender do 2 things that conform to our 2 main recommendations – they cooperate in building a bar and they build a relationship by asking and revealing personal things about themselves. These exercises mirror well-established research paradigms from research on minimal groups, realistic conflict theory, contact effects, and the fast friends procedure, but I think the ad works because these paradigms build on what most of us already know – that if we get to know people personally first, politics are secondary to the relationship we have built, and that revealing things about ourselves and working together are great ways to build such a relationship.
Please do watch the below video and share with your friends.

Without wading into the wisdom of current immigration policy, I wanted to point out a relatively obvious pattern of group dynamics that we see everyday, yet somehow often fail to appreciate – our ability to band together in the face of adversity. It's one of the prime ways that humans have evolved to take over the planet in cooperating groups of millions. When we see a need in our community, we work together with efficiency that no other species can match.
If you read the news, you may feel like the world is falling apart. Yet, for every story about partisans bashing each other, I also see a lot of love in the world. This story in the New York Times, where a local synagogue took the lead in hosting a group of Syrian refugees was the kind of news that wouldn't be news, except for the recent immigration ban. It's the kind of everyday kindness that happens all the time – but that never gets near the attention as the extremely rare terrorist attack.
Some of the volunteers were children or grandchildren of refugees. Their synagogue, Am Shalom ("People of Peace") in Glencoe, Ill., displays a statue depicting members' families who perished at the Nazis' hands. The Syrian family, and the president's orders, were coming on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, some of the volunteers noted with tears in their eyes. A hundred synagogue members had contributed in some way to helping resettle the Syrians: renting an apartment steps from a playground, assembling a vacuum cleaner, lining up juice boxes in the refrigerator. Some of the synagogue members had signed on instinctually, so the Syrians would be helped the way their own parents or grandparents had been aided when they arrived in the United States.
Many people are showing solidarity with refugees by going to airports and holding signs of welcome and peace. The ACLU has raised millions from those who want to protect refugees. Just over a week ago, millions marched in support of women, many with positively framed signs like the below.
Yes, there remains a lot of division in this country. But there is also a lot of love. And while the forces of division get a lot of attention, let's not forget to pay attention to the millions and millions who demonstrate this love every day, and whose conviction has never been more on display. Hating the haters only plays into the hands of extremists who thrive on division. But seeing countless stories of immigrants who risk their lives for our troops, research tuberculosis, and flee attacks on their home to start small businesses can't help but spur people to positive action.
People learn much better from stories than from statistics and for the longest time, we heard statistics about how we were more likely to be killed by a swimming pool than a terrorist attack by an immigrant, but still saw stories of immigrant terrorists and criminals. Now we are finally seeing stories of everyday immigrants who want a better life for their children and predictably, people are coming together to help them. There are a lot of good people in the world.
By: ravi 1 Comment In: Civil Social Media Project,News Commentary Tags: clinton, election, trump
No matter who wins tomorrow, we need to remember that elections are a means, not an end, and the goal of both political parties is to improve the lives of American citizens, no matter who they voted for. After such a bitter election season, it will no doubt be hard to work together on governing for the common good, and so we collected the below links that provide advice on how to move bridge our divisions on November 9th.
– This essay by Jon Haidt and I in the Wall Street Journal is a far more conversational restatement of many of the themes we talk about on CivilPolitics.
– Brian Klaas writes in Foreign Policy about what we can learn from reconciliation in more fragile democracies like Tunisia, where members of the winning party actively sought buy-in from those who lost, listened to their concerns, and developed working relationships that dispelled many of the worst fears of election day losers.
– Eric Liu writes in The Atlantic about how reconciliation requires empathic listening and "doing stuff together" in order to reach a place where we still argue, but do so in a more productive way.
– This article talks about how churches are bringing people together under the unifying goal of doing God's work.
– Both The New York Times Run-Up podcast (also see here) and This American Life have shows where people who supported each candidate talk about the reasons for their support and their feelings about the election. Hearing people in their own words can help humanize them and dispell the simple stereotypes that we often have about people who disagree with us.
– This New York Times article talks about How to Argue Fairly and Without Rancor.
We would be remiss if we didn't point out that most all of these articles involve specific ideas to implement our over-arching recommendations for disagreeing in a productive way – specifically building relationships and creating cooperative situations. For our part, in addition to our regular programs, we will be specifically trying to create a more civil social media atmosphere by highlighting situations where partisans work together across the aisle. If you want to help us improve the partisan atmosphere on social media, please do join our Facebook community and help us spread the word that American democracy is not just arguing about which candidate is worse, but all is still often about working together for the common good.

Many travel adventures are described as unique but our voyage to Antarctica is truly incomparable. Awe-inspiring, educational and the epitome of the road-less-travelled.
On these New Zealand Antarctic cruises, you can explore rich and interesting wildlife. As you cruise to Campbell Island and Auckland Islands of New Zealand's Sub Antarctic Islands, you'll travel with people who have worked these areas for years as they share their knowledge with you.
Far below New Zealand to the south are the Sub-Antartctic Islands. Home to a vast array of wildlife, birdlife incorporating the Auckland Islands, Campbell Islands and more. These islands are mostly pristine and undisturbed. There has been some human interference with introduced species but a concerted effort has seen them returned to their original condition. The islands are remote from each other giving a rich and interesting trip through the wildest parts of the Southern Ocean.
Travelling in the footsteps of Sir Robert Falcon Scott and Sir Ernest Shackleton to Antartica is a voyage extroadinaire. Along with your shipmates you'll be venturing in to the Ross Sea through a time gateway of a couple of months. This is due to the passage being frozen for 10 months of the year.

Q: Random Number Between 2 Values Hi i wanna generate a random number between 2 values.
I have 2 variables.
This is the default value:
(MIN = MAX = 1)
Later this value can change!
I have use this:
rand()%(max-min)+min;

But i got debug about division for zero.
Any ideas?
Edit: With the default value the number generated must be 1.

A: In your initial case (max-min) is 0 and modulus by zero is undefined behavior. From the C++ draft standard section 5.6 Multiplicative operators says:

The binary / operator yields the quotient, and the binary % operator yields the remainder from the division of the first expression by the second. If the second operand of / or % is zero the behavior is undefined. [...]

As for generating a random number between min and max you should use the random header and uniform_int_distrubution:
#include <iostream>
#include <random>

int main()
{
    std::random_device rd;

    std::mt19937 e2(rd());
    int min = 1, max = 1 ;

    std::uniform_int_distribution<int> dist(min,max);

    for (int n = 0; n < 10; ++n) {
            std::cout << dist(e2) << ", " ;
    }
    std::cout << std::endl ;
}

If for some reason C++11 is not an option then the C FAQ gives us the proper formula when using rand in the section How can I get random integers in a certain range?  which indicates to generate random numbers in the range [M, N] you use the following:

M + rand() / (RAND_MAX / (N - M + 1) + 1)

A: The range [min, max] contains max - min + 1 numbers! So your code should have been like this:
rand() % (max - min + 1) + min;

Don't forget to check the value of RAND_MAX though, your range shouldn't get close to that. In fact, you want it to be much smaller than that to avoid too much bias.


This is a not-to-be-missed experience for the prudent investor. And it's being offered at a tremendous value.
Normally, registration for a 3-hour event with speakers like these would cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. Of course, you'd also need to add to that sum your travel costs of getting to the event.
Axel Merk - Axel Merk is the President and Chief Investment Officer of Merk Investments, and manager of the Merk Funds. He's an expert on macro trends and his investment advisory firm offers funds and advisory services on liquid global markets, including domestic and international equities, fixed income, commodities and currencies.
G. Edward Griffin - Ed Griffin is a researcher, lecturer and film maker, and author of the book The Creature From Jekyll Island, the exhaustive and definitive work on the formation of the Federal Reserve. In addition to his expertise on the Fed, he is also known for his coverage and commentary on international banking, terrorism, taxation, U.S. foreign policy, cancer, the Supreme Court, and the U.N.
12:05pm to 12:40pm EST -- G. Edward Griffin will explain how a private banking cabal gained control of America's monetary system through the formation of the Federal Reserve, and how it has since metastasized to control the financial and political systems as well. A massive wealth transfer from the public's pockets has been the result, and will continue until the system is bled dry, just as any parasite left unchecked will kill its host.
1:20pm to 1:40pm EST -- Axel Merk will share his learnings from his recent time spent with past and current Federal Reserve regional presidents. He'll explain how the Fed's actions have created massive asset price bubbles that will be extremely destructive when they collapse. Similarly, the Fed's actions have destroyed the incentive to save, as well as doomed pensions to insolvency -- creating a massive brewing retirement crisis.
If this first webinar goes successfully, that will enable us to produce more of these 'gatherings of great thinkers' for you in the future. We have great hopes for this new webinar platform, but how much we use it in the future will be a direct function of how many people like and attend these live events. So if you want more of these, please participate!
I will be at work on 6/7 but I am interested in watching this. Will you be posting it for watching later that day/week? Do you need to be a premium member in order to do so? Really enjoy the site found it a few months ago. It has given myself and family direction on "what should we do?"
Yes! After the live event, the platform we're using will provide all of those who registered (whether they were able to watch live or not) with access to an archive video of the event.
So if you end up missing part or all of the live event, you can replay it as much as you like afterwards.
Will this be video with graphs and such or audio only?
It will be live video.
There will likely also be some charts and other visuals, but not too many. The presenters will have the option of sharing up to 3 slides each during their presentation - but I don't know yet if every presenter will choose to use them or not.
Will this be made available to all PP subscribers at some point ?
I missed the registration deadline, and now it seems to late to register for it.
We'll be announcing this more broadly on the site shortly: for those who missed registering for the live webinar but would still like to see it, we're making access available to a video of the full 3-hour event for $75.
If you're interested, email us here and we'll send over the details for gaining access.
To your specific question, dreinmund, no, this webinar will not be made generally available to all subscribers.
That said, now that we have our webinar platform up and running, Chris and I will be producing certain webinars expressly offered to all of our paying subscribers. And from time to time, we will also create ones available to the general public. And, once a quarter or so, we intend to produce "big" events like this recent one, which will be available to anyone who purchases access.

est un album du Devin Townsend Project sorti le  chez HevyDevy Records et InsideOut Music. Il est le dix-septième album studio du musicien canadien Devin Townsend, et le septième du Devin Townsend Project.

Les musiciens y ayant pris part sont, hormis Devin Townsend, Brian Waddell à la basse, Ryan van Poederooyen à la batterie, Dave Young à la guitare et aux claviers, et Mike St. Jean aux claviers. Anneke van Giersbergen intervient également au chant, comme sur les précédents albums. La pochette de l'album a été réalisée par Anthony Clarkson.

L'album est disponible dans plusieurs formats, notamment un CD en boîtier cristal classique, une édition spéciale en digipack avec un deuxième CD fait de démos, mais aussi en disque vinyle.

Contexte et composition
Devin Townsend a déclaré avoir eu du mal à trouver de l'inspiration pour écrire un nouvel album avec le Devin Townsend Project après Z². Il lui a fallu trouver un « angle », un concept qui le motive et l'inspire, et cela a été le lâcher-prise, et le fait de laisser plus de place aux autres membres du groupe lors de la composition de l'album. Il a ainsi changé sa façon de composer pour Transcendence. Alors qu'auparavant il tentait de contrôler tous les aspects de sa musique, il a dit avoir donné plus de latitude aux musiciens et au personnel qui l'entourait, afin de tenir compte de leur avis et de plus les impliquer dans le processus de création. Lors de la composition, il donnait ainsi des riffs, paroles, ainsi que des grandes lignes aux membres du groupe, comme ce qu'un passage donné était censé faire ressentir à l'auditeur, puis laissait le groupe arranger cela d'une manière qui corresponde à sa vision. Il a déclaré que cette approche a été salvatrice, et que . Il dit ainsi :

Pour décider des chansons qui se trouveraient sur l'album parmi la soixantaine composées, Townsend a dit avoir apporté chacune d'elles aux membres du groupe, et décider ensemble lesquelles garder, processus nouveau pour lui qui auparavant arrivait directement avec la liste des chansons à jouer.

Avec cet album, Townsend a déclaré vouloir faire . Il a ainsi souhaité

Sortie et promotion
Afin de faire la promotion de l'album, un documentaire, réalisé par Mike "ZimZim" Zimmer durant l'enregistrement de l'album et divisé en sept parties est publié sur YouTube. Le premier épisode est disponible le , il parle du processus d'enregistrement et d'écriture de l'album. Le deuxième est publié le , il se concentre sur le batteur du groupe, Ryan Van Poederooyen. Le troisième, en ligne le , concerne le guitariste Dave Young.
Le quatrième épisode, publié le , parle du bassiste Brian "Beav" Waddell. Le  est disponible le cinquième épisode, cette fois sur le claviériste, Mike St-Jean. Puis le sixième épisode, montre le processus d'enregistrement en général. Le dernier épisode est visible le , on peut notamment avoir un aperçu de l'enregistrement des chœurs.

 est sorti le  en Europe et en Amérique, et le  au Japon. Dans son édition classique en boîtier cristal, l'album comporte dix titres. La version digipack contient un deuxième CD appelé Holding Patterns, constitué de onze titres dont neuf démos. L'édition japonaise, quant à elle, comporte trois démos en bonus : , , et .

Accueil
 a été globalement très bien accueilli par la critique. Il obtient un score de 80/100 sur le site Metacritic, d'après six notes.

Album musical sorti en 2016


Finally got around to watching Darling in the Franxx. Despite the ruined sloppy seconds of Eva mounting Gurren Lagann in a fifteen hour cuck-fest, Zero Tsoo is now my spirit animal.
I've been watching The King's Avatar (which is technically not an anime since it's made in China but IDK where else to put it) and it's been great.
Plot centers around an esports champion getting basically forced out of the team he helped found because he's not marketable, getting older, and they've had a losing streak that they blame on him. Despite this, he's a really good Glory player who's been playing it since the begining ten years ago, and he's not giving up the game. What follows is him building back up with a new account and making an impact on the other guilds and players of the game. All the characters are fun and interesting, I think the animation/presentation is good, I like the pacing and themes, and it's all free on Youtube.
I'm on episode 6 out of 13 I believe. It's not revolutionary but it's a solid entertaining show and I would recommend.
Wait, why does he need a new account? Did his team take it from him or something?
Probably needs a new screen name/account so he can get back on the team if they kick/banned his old name.
If it's an E-Sports team, they'll just recognize him when they meet up at tournaments though.
In the madeup game Glory, it's like an MMO with PvP elements, but unlike games like WOW, your character is tied to a physical account card. Because of the contract he had signed when he was helping found the team all those years ago, his character belonged to the team basically, and it's a really good and iconic character so they want to keep it for its commercial and tactical value (and to screw him over). Additionally, because the agreement he signed was that he "retire", he's forbidden from playing competitively for a year. This stuff is explained in episode one plus some more stuff that heads off plot holes, so I recommend watching that if you're curious. Link.
"Don your armor and weapons, we shall enter the women's bath!"
Watching Goblin Slayer, Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken and Seishun Buta Yarou Wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume Wo Minai.
Gonna watch Index III once all the episodes are out.
Goblin Slayer is something else, man. Was not expecting quite this level of gore... Still, neat sefies so far.
How's Bunny-Sempai been so far?
Of the new stuff, I've been watching that.
Its odd, on the surface, it actually does not look to have a lot going for it. BUT, through the first 2 episodes so far, it has you constantly wondering, just what the heck is really going on. Or, as my one brother mentioned, it is like a anime episode of Twilight Zone. It makes you want to keep watching, just to know how this is all occurring.
Also been watching Index III, and one other.
Episode 2 was a mess all things considered. The pacing was terrible, they cut out the all-girl team that originally took the Goblin Quest and the scene of the villagers crying in relief. The speech comparing Goblin Slayer to a Goblin was taken out of context and removed the best part.
I do recommend supplementing your viewing with the manga, just so you don't miss anything. Although both Anime and Manga cut the part from the Novel featuring the Illusion and Truth, who are basically the DM's.
It's like Monogatari, but without the visual style. The manga was a solid love story, that did a good job of ratcheting up the tension as the situation got steadily worse.
Still frustrating that she only wears the Bunny Girl suit once. At least it's in the OP.
I'll check it. Thanks, MoB.
I did not really tink it comparable to Monogatari myself, but then I've never come across anything quite like Monogatari in all my years of watching anime. I liked it overall, but while that series is good, for the most part, but has its bad parts, and generally you can only take watching it in small doses.
This (Bunny) ep 3 should be out within the next day or two, but while as I said I think it has an appeal, I do think it more of a narrow one that may turn off some. We shall see if it can keep my interests.
So glad to be seeing Slime as an anime. Lot of fun so far.
I've been working through my backlog lately, and I think I'm at the point were I need to swear off LN adaptations. Most of them aren't worth watching past a couple of episodes, which turns out to be a blessing in disguise. The ones I get my hopes up for ultimately disappoint with an unsatisfying non-ending in which nothing is resolved.
Just finished up Darling in the Franxx. If I had to sum up my feelings in one sentence, it would be: Vandread did it better.
I've become interested enough in Gundam that I'd really like to learn just what it is that people like about it so much.
Any suggestions as to where I should start? I've never seen a single episode or OVA of any Gundam series at all.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Origin is a prequel to the original series, focusing on Char Aznable, and how he came to be who he was.
Noticed that there is a Baki series in Netflix, and took a look at it. Honestly, I think you'd need to have either read the manga or seen the Grappler Baki to even have any idea what's going on.
Anyone know if there will eventually be more to WorldEnd? Like season 2 or movie? Been enjoying it, up to episode 11. Love the opening. Cannot believe there is practically no fan fiction for the series.
Recently watched Frame Arms Girl, and rewatching Grancrest Wars.
Finished watching Utawarerumono The False Faces at Crunchyroll, and it didn't really have the impact Visual Novel had.
Started watching Durarara!! and it's okay so far.

FC United of Manchester Preview
Harrogate Town return to league action on Saturday afternoon with a trip to FC United of Manchester's Broadhurst Park.
The Red Rebels have recently appointed Tom Greaves as successor to long term Manager Karl Marginson in an effort to beat away the threat of relegation.
Marginson guided his side to 13th last season, just five points shy of Town's total, but FC United currently sit just one place above the drop zone, and 20 points behind Town.
Despite their league position, Greaves' side have won their last six fixtures on home soil, and know a seventh successive win could lift them above four teams.
Simon Weaver's side have only once come away from an away tie with FC United with a win; on their first visit back in 2009, though FC United have failed to win any of the last five meetings between the sides.
The last meeting between the two ended in a 2-2 draw thanks to now-Town midfielder George Thomson's late equaliser, one of four meetings between the sides throughout the 2016/17 season, in which Town mustered 10 goals.
Following last Friday night's FA Trophy win at Darlington, Town have won eight of their last nine matches away from home and have lost just one of 13 on their travels.
Recent form suggests something will have to give on Saturday with The Red Rebels not having a home game end in a draw since April.
Mark Beck could play a part after featuring for Josh Falkingham's Under 21s on Monday night, while Joe Leesley could make his 75th Town appearance since joining in Summer 2016.

When the City of Newton acquired two parcels adjacent to the Crystal Lake bathhouse, it resold the house at 230 Lake Avenue to a private owner. However, the city retained the rights to a lakeside path from the Crystal Lake beach to the existing parkland at Levingston Cove. The Conservators holds a conservation restriction on this pathway.

Crystal Lake has had several names. Its colonial name was Wiswall's Pond. For much of the 19th century, the lake was known as Baptist Pond, after the church that used it for baptisms. The lake was used for ice harvesting in the 19th century, as was Bullough's Pond. Ice dealers who sold the ice for refrigeration renamed it Crystal Lake to sound appealing to customers. Read this 1911 Crystal Lake booklet for more history of the lake.
The wall and gas lights at Cronin's Cove were erected.
The lake was named Baptist Pond because First Baptist Church in Newton used the lake for baptisms.
Two small parcels were acquired, one donated by Moses and Emeline Crane.
The bathhouse was built. According to Historic Newton News (Spring 2019 issue), its purpose was "to discourage swimmers from disrobing in public."
The City of Newton used CPA funds to acquire by eminent domain the property at 20 Rogers Street, to expand the Crystal Lake swimming area.
The city purchased the shoreline portion of the adjacent property, 230 Lake Avenue, and built a lakeside path from the Crystal Lake beach to the existing parkland at Levingston Cove. The Newton Conservators entered into two conservation restrictions which permanently establish public access to the lakeside path.

We measured the magneto-optical response of PrLSMO in order to investigate the microscopic aspects of the magnetic field driven paramagnetic insulator to ferromagnetic metal transition. With applied magnetic field, optical weight transfers to lower energy and develops a clear signature of ferromagnetic domains. Mn-O stretching and bending modes soften through the phase transition as well, demonstrating precisely how the lattice is coupled to the transition. We also extract the H-T optical phase diagram and compare it with that from resistivity, magnetization, and magnetostriction to show that the lattice responds more slowly than charge and spin at low temperature. Color rendering allows visualization of the thermochromic and magnetochromic effect.

Chiben Gakuen Senior High School baseball team players mob the field at Hanshin Koshien Stadium in Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture, after their pitcher smacked a walk-off double to win the 88th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament (commonly known as "Senbatsu") on March 31, 2016. Chiben Gakuen, of Nara Prefecture, had led the squad from Kagawa Prefectural Takamatsu Commercial High School 1-0 for much of the game. But Takamatsu pushed a run across in the 8th inning, knotting the score at 1-1 until the 11th. That's when, with a man on first and two out, Chiben hurler Shoki Murakami came to the plate and smashed a long drive over the head of the Takamatsu center fielder, cashing in the winning run.
