San Diego has a warm climate throughout the year. While this means that the winters are mild, summer can be quite hot. This is why most local homes and businesses rely on air conditioning to maintain a comfortable temperature all year long. A quality air conditioning unit can take care of you. However, these units function best if you take care of them as well. Champion Air is proud to have expert AC Contractors in San Diego.
Your air conditioner is an advanced machine. Like all machines, it must be properly maintained in order to function at peak capacity. In many cases, investing in regular maintenance can prevent problems down the line. Many people are hesitant to pay for such maintenance, but they do not realize that the upfront investment can prevent catastrophic repairs later. Maintenance can also ensure that your unit is functioning safely. Moreover, regular maintenance improves the unit's efficiency in order to maximize its ability to cool effectively.
Regular maintenance is recommended once a year. This maintenance can include a number of important tasks. The first task is to look at the filters. Heating and cooling units use filters to process the air. These filters become dirty as air is continually pushed through them. Therefore, these filters must be changed in order to maintain the efficiency of the unit. Another major area for maintenance is the coils. Dirt can collect on the coils, which can damage the unit over time. Other areas to check are the coil fins, drain channels, vents and more.
A residential air conditioning unit is designed to provide temperature control in a home. Some of these units are designed to cool the entire house, and they are installed outside with a control panel inside. There are also window units that can be installed in a room for targeted relief. All such units must be checked each year in order to ensure that they are safe and functional. Residential air conditioning service will look carefully at the unit itself while also checking the various vents and ducts associated with the unit.
Commercial services are similar to residential services, but the maintenance is often more extensive. This is due to the fact that commercial units are necessarily more complicated. In many cases, a commercial air conditioning system will have more working parts in order to provide variable temperature control. This means that temperature control can be customized in different parts of the building. Most of the time, commercial air conditioning units are placed outside. This may be behind the building or on the roof.
Maintenance is an important preventative measure, but it is only a worthwhile investment if you work with an air conditioner contractor that you trust. There are many contractors available in San Diego, but not all of these contractors are bonded and licensed. If the company cannot prove its legitimacy, then the company cannot be trusted with your air conditioner. Also look carefully at how established the company is. It is imperative to work with a company that has years of proven experience in the local community. Experience ensures that the company has dealt with all brands and unit types, which can ensure that the maintenance is done properly.

Angelica Berner is one of 2019's new class of Brooke Owens Fellows.
The "Brookies," as they are affectionately called, are exceptional undergraduate women in aerospace and are selected for the award based on their talent, experience, leadership, professionalism and commitment to serving their communities. Newest Brookie Angelica Berner will be working at DigitalGlobe, and was matched with former NASA astronaut Scott Parazynski as her executive-level mentor. Photo courtesy of Angelica Berner.
Berner, who graduated from Arizona State University in December 2018, is one of 38 women awarded this fellowship for 2019.
Each is paired with a 12-week summer internship at a leading aerospace organization and partnered with executive-level mentors in their field.
Berner will be working at DigitalGlobe in Westminster, Colorado.
Berner will also join other fellows for the Brooke Owens Fellowship Summit during the summer. The summit will feature team projects, one-on-one mentoring sessions and Q&As with congresswomen, astronauts, CEOs and company founders.
The fellowship was created to support and inspire talented professional women in aerospace and named for acclaimed pilot Dawn Brooke Owens, a much-beloved expert and pioneer in the space industry. After Owen's passing at the age of 35 from breast cancer, the fellowship was created to honor her legacy by three of her close friends: Lori Garver, former deputy administrator of NASA; Cassie Lee, former head of space programs for Paul G. Allen; and William Pomerantz, the vice president of special projects at Virgin Orbit.
The fellowship is highly competitive and draws hundreds of applicants at more than 125 universities in 13 nations. Berner described the multistep application process as, "unlike anything she had experienced before."
"(The fellowship) encourages each applicant to not only introduce their 'on paper' self but to delve deep into who they are outside of their education/career," she said.
After an intense process of interviews with various leaders in the aerospace industry, Berner received a call from one of the founders to tell her that she had been selected.
"She was very patient and enthusiastic as I told her how excited and humbled I was (and still am) to have received the opportunity!" Berner said.
"As I prepare for my internship at DigitalGlobe, I'm beyond excited to have the opportunity to work in the aerospace industry with such an awesome company!"
Berner grew up in Chicago, and graduated from ASU as The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean's Medalist for the Department of Physics.
She participated in the ASU/Nasa Space Grant for two years and completed a summer internship at the NASA Langley Research Center.

Another beautifully bound, illustrated and embossed tome from Tartarus, this is a collection of tales (or recountings, if you like) from Angela Slatter. I'd previously encountered Slatter's work in another collection from Tartarus, and had been impressed with that single short story.
This collection is all set in the same world, and Slatter manages to ingeniously weave an overarching thread that runs through and unites all the tales.
The opening story, "The Coffin-Maker's Daughter" introduces Hepsibah Ballantyne, the eponymous coffin-maker's daughter. Her dead father, Hector, continues to haunt and harangue her from beyond the grave, constantly belittling and insulting her while she goes about her craft. When she is betrayed by the daughter of one of her customers, she takes revenge by poisoning her and capturing her spirit. Hepsibah reappears in several of the other tales, including the excellent "St Dymphna's School for Poison Girls", where young ladies are trained to become assassins.
Slatter's work is excellent, and eminently readable. The world that her creations live within is excellently depicted, and the characters easy to relate to. It's easy to see how she's managed to make such an impact on the genre and garnered a British Fantasy Award and numerous other nominations.

Crandall, H. et al., Bayarsaihan, D. et al., Hultqvist, M. et al., Kanai, F. et al., Geiszt, M. et al., et al.
van de Loo, Bennink, Arntz, Smeets, Lubberts, Joosten, van Lent, Coenen-de Roo, Cuzzocrea, Segal, Holland, van den Berg, Sadikot, Zeng, Yull, Li, Cheng, Kernodle, Jansen, Contag, Segal, Holland, Blackwell, Christman,
Enhanced autoimmunity, arthritis, and encephalomyelitis in mice with a reduced oxidative burst due to a mutation in the Ncf1 gene [1].
To assess the role of Ncf1 in Lyme arthritis, we introgressed Bb2Bb3 from severely arthritic C3H/He mice onto mildly arthritic C57BL/6 mice [2].
Within this region, the Ncf1 gene of the phagocyte nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase has recently been identified as a major regulator of arthritis severity in rodent models of rheumatoid arthritis, an effect attributed to protective properties of reactive oxygen species [2].
Genomic organization of the genes Gtf2ird1, Gtf2i, and Ncf1 at the mouse chromosome 5 region syntenic to the human chromosome 7q11.23 Williams syndrome critical region [3].
In contrast to wild-type mice, arthritis elicited in both p47phox(-/-) and gp91(-/-) mice showed more severe joint inflammation, which developed into a granulomatous synovitis [4].
Mice genetically deficient ((-/-)) in either iNOS or the p47phox subunit of NADPH oxidase, transgenic (Tg) mice that overexpress SOD, and their respective wild-type (WT) littermates were fed dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in drinking water for 7 days to induce colitis [5].
The p47phox mouse knock-out model of chronic granulomatous disease [6].
Identical to the case in human CGD, leukocytes from p47phox-/- mice produced no superoxide and killed staphylococci ineffectively. p47phox-/- mice developed lethal infections and granulomatous inflammation similar to those encountered in human CGD patients [6].
Ang II phosphorylated p47phox, a regulatory subunit of NADPH oxidase, and induced reactive oxygen species formation via NADPH oxidase activity [7].
After bile duct ligation, p47phox-/- mice showed attenuated liver injury and fibrosis compared with WT counterparts [7].
Bb2Bb3 regulation of murine Lyme arthritis is distinct from Ncf1 and independent of the phagocyte nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase [2].
We also show that an Arg-to-Gln mutation in the PX domain of p47phox, which is found in patients with chronic granulomatous disease, eliminates phosphoinositide binding, as does the analogous mutation in the PX domain of p40phox [8].
Wild-type (WT) controls and p47phox-/- mice were treated with intraperitoneal (i.p.) Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (5 or 20 microg/g of body weight) [9].
Whereas the time course of parasitemia in NOS2-/- x p47phox-/- mice was nearly identical to that seen in normal control mice, allopurinol treatment of these double-KO mice also enhanced the magnitude of peak parasitemia [10].
Effect of amphotericin B and micafungin combination on survival, histopathology, and fungal burden in experimental aspergillosis in the p47phox-/- mouse model of chronic granulomatous disease [11].
These results show that Ncf1, a gene important for oxidative burst, regulates the susceptibility and severity of both arthritis and encephalomyelitis and modulates, directly or indirectly, the level of T cell-dependent autoimmune responses [1].
Interestingly, female Ncf1-mutated mice spontaneously developed severe arthritis during the postpartum period [1].
A single nucleotide polymorphism was identified in the Ncf1 gene that did not influence the protein sequence or expression of Ncf1 [2].
We have isolated and analyzed the sequence of bacterial artificial chromosome clones from the syntenic mouse chromosome 5 region that contains Gtf2ird1 and Gtf2i as well as a neighboring gene, Ncf1 [3].
Ncf1, located downstream of Gtf2i, consists of 11 exons that extend over 8 kb [3].
Although polymorphonuclear leukocytes from C57BL/6 mice generated a greater oxidative burst than polymorphonuclear leukocytes from C3H/He mice, studies with the Bb2Bb3 congenic mice demonstrated this difference was not linked to Ncf1 alleles [2].
Proteins homologous to p47phox and p67phox support superoxide production by NAD(P)H oxidase 1 in colon epithelial cells [12].
Glucose dose-dependently increased both neonatal rat myocyte protein synthesis and the expression of p47phox protein, while apocynin (an NADPH oxidase inhibitor) blocked the enhancement of protein synthesis by high glucose [13].
MMP-2 mRNA expression and activity were analyzed in wildtype and p47phox-deficient (p47phox-/-) murine smooth muscle cells (SMC) [14].
Mouse peritoneal macrophages and aortic segments from aldosterone-treated mice exhibited increased superoxide anion formation by up to 155% and 69%, respectively, and this effect was probably mediated by NADPH oxidase activation, because increased translocation of its cytosolic component p47phox to the macrophage plasma membrane was observed [15].
Next, we used ECs obtained from p47phox-/- mice (MAE-p47-/-), which do not produce ROS in response to OS, to determine the role of NADPH oxidases [16].
VSMC from p47phox-/- mice showed markedly reduced ROS generation and NF-kappaB activation in response to Ang II and AT1-AA [17].
CD95L induced within 1 min ceramide formation and serine phosphorylation of p47phox, which was sensitive to inhibitors of sphingomyelinase and protein kinase Czeta (PKCzeta) [18].
Like p47phox, p41 contains an amino-terminal Phox homology domain, two SH3 domains, and a conserved carboxyl-terminal, proline-rich motif [12].
Voglibose treatment decreased the myocardial expression of an NADPH oxidase subunit (p47phox) [13].
LPS-induced NF-kappaB binding activity and accumulation of RelA in nuclear protein extracts of lung tissue were markedly increased in WT compared to p47phox-/- mice 90 min after treatment with 20 but not 5 microg of i.p. LPS per g [9].
However, p47-phox phosphorylated by calyculin A treatment lost its ability to activate NADPH oxidase [19].
Furthermore, Lyme arthritis severity was not altered in mice lacking either the Ncf1 or Gp91phox subunits of the NADPH oxidase complex [2].
Both iNOS-/- and p47phox-/- mice were attenuated in the ability to control C. burnetii infection compared to wild-type mice [20].
Here we describe two proteins, p41 and p51, with significant homology to two cytosolic components of the phagocytic oxidase, p47phox and p67phox [12].
p47phox deficiency impairs NF-kappa B activation and host defense in Pseudomonas pneumonia [21].
In both control and gp91phox(-/-) animals, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and MMP induction was enhanced by AVF, whereas in p47phox(-/-) and eNOS(-/-) mice such response was negligible [22].
We found that the mutated Ncf1 led to a more severe and chronic relapsing collagen-induced arthritis [1].
The use of linkage analysis and positional cloning of genes in animal models for RA resulted in the identification of one of the genes regulating severity of arthritis in rats and mice, the Ncf1 gene [23].
Western blotting of BPAECs and immunocytochemistry of BPAECs and rat and mouse lungs showed the presence of p47phox, a cytoplasmic component of NADPH oxidase and the putative target for PR-39 inhibition [24].
Immunoprecipitation and Western blotting analysis demonstrated that arsenic stimulation induced serine phosphorylation of p47phox, a key component of NADPH oxidase, indicating that arsenic induces O2* formation through NADPH oxidase activation [25].
Northern blot analysis was used to assess induction of mRNAs encoding gp91-phox, and the myeloid oxidase cytosolic components, p47 and p67 [26].
Enhanced autoimmunity, arthritis, and encephalomyelitis in mice with a reduced oxidative burst due to a mutation in the Ncf1 gene. Hultqvist, M., Olofsson, P., Holmberg, J., Bäckström, B.T., Tordsson, J., Holmdahl, R. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. (2004) [Pubmed]

Pythagorean Triples are sets of 3 positive integers where a2 + b2 = h2. They are so called because the Pythagorean Theorem tells us that if the lengths of the sides of a triangle are proportional to the numbers in such a triple, then the triangle is a right triangle with "a" and "b" being the lengths of the legs and "h" being the length of the hypotenuse.
The algorithm starts from the "begin" value and terminates after the "end" value is searched. Default values are provided. If you leave the end value blank, only the value for the begin number will be searched, just as if you were to put the same number in both boxes.
For output display you can have nicely spaced columns (the default) or tab-delimited output, which can be directly pasted into spreadsheets. Changing the format is very fast because only the output is changed, the calculations are not re-done. In either case, the first number on the line is an arbitrary line number (1..n), then the shortest leg, then the longer leg, and finally the hypotenuse.
This page has been tested on my iMac with Safari, Netscape, and Internet Explorer. Netscape 7.2 is outrageously slow. Safari is probably the best. Nevertheless, this should work in any modern browser on any OS (Linux, Mac, Windows, etc).
This calculator solves for Pythagorean Triples in which three integers have the relationship: a2 + b2 = h2.
Euclid's Formula (circa 300 bc) generates all possible primitive Pythagorean Triples (not multiples of other triples) from two coprime numbers "m" and "n" if m > n and at least one of them is even. It may be necessary to swap "a" and "b".
Finding triples in order of the shortest leg.
To find triples in order of the shortest leg, we start with the beginning value entered and count upward, one at a time. For example, if we started with 3, we would search for all Triples that have 3 for their shortest leg, then for all with 4 as the shortest let, etc. etc.
Once we have chosen a trial value for "a", the first and smallest member of the triple, we need to consider how far up we need to search for "b", the second number of the triple. From the definition of a Pythagorean Triple we know that "a", "b", and "h" must all be integers. So for any given value of "a", we are looking for the lowest value of "b" for which a2 is less than the difference between b2 and (b + 1)2.
This value is important. Failing to search values up to this limit will cause us to miss some triples. Searching values of "b" above this is a waste of time, since above this limit a2 is smaller than the minimum required to reach the next square.
We can do a little algebra and find that (b+1)2 = b2 + 2b + 1. So when "b" becomes so large that 2b + 1 is larger than a2, there is no further point in searching for larger values of "b", as a2 is no longer large enough for the sum of the two squares to even reach (b + 1)2.
So our limit for "b" is the next integer larger (to be safe) than a2/2.
It is important to note that after finding a value for "b" that produces a triple we cannot abandon the present value for "a", since there may be some larger value of "b" that combines with "a" to produce a larger "h". So we must continue on until the limit for "b" (as described above) has been reached. At that point we have finished with that value of "a" and can move on to a+1.
Finding triples in order of the shortest hypotenuse.
a2 + b2 = h2 and therfore b2 = h2 - a2.
So for each candidate value of "a" we find the candidate value for "b". If the value of "b" is an integer, and it has no common factors with "a", we have found a triple.
Of course we have to check for all the values of "a" up to h/sqrt(2). It is not necessary to search above that, as once "a" goes above that, the value of "b" would be smaller than the value of "a" and we would just find duplicates.

The Brain That Wouldn't Die!
The classic 1960's B-movie The Brain That Wouldn't Die has fallen into the public domain and is now available to download or to watch online.
It's another classic story of boy meets girl, boy loses girl in terrible car crash, boy keeps girl's head alive in neuroscience lab while looking for attractive new body.
Needless to say, it all ends in tears, but not before a journey that takes us from the lab, to a cat fight in a strip bar, and back again.
All in the best possible B-movie taste of course with some er… 'unique' dialogue that should give any experimental scientist cause for thought:
"The paths of experimentation twist and turn through mountains of miscalculations and often lose themselves in error and darkness!"
Wise words indeed.

Inside the psychotic world of Grand Theft Auto
A brief article published in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine in 2001 reported the case of a young man who suffered delusions that he was a player inside a computer game.
The game isn't mentioned by name, but it seems to be Grand Theft Auto.
The authors of the case study point out that they're not suggesting that computer games cause psychosis, but they comment on how it's a somewhat unusual illustration of how ideas from a person's life get incorporated into the themes of psychosis.
A young man was admitted from prison to a psychiatric facility after reports that he had been acting in a bizarre manner. He had been arrested for stealing motor vehicles and assaults with weapons. At interview he was found to be experiencing the delusion that he was a player inside a computer game (adult-certificate game, widely available) in which points are scored for stealing cars, killing assailants and avoiding police vehicles.
Psychotic symptoms had emerged slowly over two years. His family had noticed him becoming increasingly withdrawn and isolated from social activities. He developed delusions that strangers were planning to kill him and also experienced auditory hallucinations, constantly hearing an abusive and derogatory voice. Previously a computer enthusiast, he began to play computer games incessantly. He felt that the games were communicating with him via the headphones.
In a complex delusional system he came to believe he was inside one of these games and had to steal a car to start scoring points. He broke into a car and drove off at speed, believing he had `invulnerable' fuel and so could not run out of petrol. To gain points he chose to steal increasingly powerful vehicles, threatening and assaulting the owners with weapons. Later he said he would have had no regrets if he had killed someone, since this would have increased his score.
After arrest and while in prison he continued to believe he was in the game, despite initial medication. When he was admitted to hospital six weeks later, part of ward management was to deny him access to computer games. Nothing abnormal was found on physical examination, blood investigations, drug screen, electroencephalography or a computed tomographic brain scan. Paranoid schizophrenia was diagnosed and he responded well to further treatment with antipsychotic medication.
Similarly, 'rock and roll delusions' have occasionally been reported in the medical literature (David Bowie seems to be a favourite).

Can't compute the wood for the trees
Computer scientist David Gelernter has written an in-depth article for Technology Review where he criticises the possibility of creating artificial consciousness, but has high hopes for unconscious artificial intelligence.
My case for the near-impossibility of conscious software minds resembles what others have said. But these are minority views. Most AI researchers and philosophers believe that conscious software minds are just around the corner. To use the standard term, most are "cognitivists." Only a few are "anticognitivists." I am one. In fact, I believe that the cognitivists are even wronger than their opponents usually say.
But my goal is not to suggest that AI is a failure. It has merely developed a temporary blind spot. My fellow anticognitivists have knocked down cognitivism but have done little to replace it with new ideas. They've showed us what we can't achieve (conscious software intelligence) but not how we can create something less dramatic but nonetheless highly valuable: unconscious software intelligence. Once AI has refocused its efforts on the mechanisms (or algorithms) of thought, it is bound to move forward again.
Gelernter is a a great writer and an interesting guy, not least because of his brush with death, courtesy of disturbed anti-technologist Ted Kaczynski aka 'The Unabomber'.

The hardest cut: Penfield and the fight for his sister
In 1935, world renowned neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield published three remarkable case studies describing the psychological effects of frontal lobe surgery.
They remain a fascinating insight into the link between brain and behaviour, but one case was unlike anything Penfield had tackled before.
It described the fight to save the life of his only sister.

Is bigotry a mental illness?
The Psychiatric Times has an interesting article discussing whether bigotry should be classified as a mental illness. The author concludes no, but the discussion gives an important insight into how we decide what is a mental illness and what is not.
Most people might think that an opinion, no matter how disagreeable, shouldn't get someone diagnosed with a mental disorder.
The difficulty comes when deciding what criteria you should use to decide that someone's mental state has gone beyond what is normal and should be considered an illness.
Generally, if a mental state is considered to cause distress or impairment, it's considered to be a sign of mental illness.
This goes for physical illness as well. A physical difference is only considered an illness if it causes problems as a result.
However, someone who is extremely racist might genuinely suffer problems as a result of their opinions.
As we reported previously, a small group of psychiatrists are pushing for a diagnosis of 'racist disorder' to be included in the next revision of the diagnostic manual on this basis.
One argument to be wary of in the justification of this, or any other mental disorder, is that 'it must exist because biological differences can be found between people thought to have the condition and those without'.
As the mind and behaviour is just a reflection of brain function, any difference, no matter how trivial (ice cream preference for example), will have a related biological difference.
As with physical illness, biological differences in themselves can't define an illness, because they have to be linked to what is considered serious distress or impairment in everyday life.
Biology might tell us why the difference occurs, but it can't tell us whether the difference should be considered good or bad.
This decision is essentially a value judgement, because what is considered serious, distressing, impairing or relevant to everyday life aren't cut-and-dry decisions and are made on the basis of a consensus of opinions.
In some cases, such as cancer, it's easy, because everyone agrees that an early painful death is bad.
In other cases, particularly for mental illnesses, the issues can be a lot less straightforward because there there are few obvious and direct effects of mental states.
These issues ask us to question what we consider an illness and highlight that the decision is as based as much on social considerations and context, as on the science of biology.
The Psychiatric Times article tackles exactly these sorts of issues in its discussion of bigotry, and is a great guide to the philosophical issues involved in classifying mental disorder.
If you want to explore further, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy has a great entry on mental illness that tackles many of the conceptual difficulties.

Kidman new face of brain game, will it sharpen the mind?
As a sure sign that cognitive improvement games have gone mainstream, Nicole Kidman has been announced as the new face of Nintendo's latest 'brain training' title.
The idea that mental training will actually help boost your mental skills is relatively new.
It was traditionally thought that the mind and brain just start losing their edge after young adulthood and your best hope was to learn to use your remaining resources more effectively as you age.
However, studies started to appear in the late 1990s suggesting that practicing certain tasks could act as a sort of 'mental workout', actually improving mental abilities directly in people with disorders like Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia.
Most people weren't fully convinced of the benefits in healthy older people until a key study was published last year in the Journal of the American Medical Association that showed modest but reliable improvements, even after five years.
The effects were typically small (often too small to be picked up without standard tests), but interestingly, the training also had a knock-on effect on the participants' ability to look after themselves effectively on a day-to-day basis.
It seems that cognitive training may have a stronger effect in people with mental impairments. A recent review of 17 studies found a positive effect on mental abilities, everyday activities and mood in people with Alzheimer's.
However, as far as I know, no controlled trials have ever been published on any off-the-shelf 'brain training' game, including Nintendo's. You'd guess from the medical literature that they might have a similar effect, but it's yet to be shown for sure.

Chandrasekaran said he and Schultz reject the notion that the U.S. is "fundamentally broken." He noted stories of goodness in towns and cities across America, and said the solution to many of the country's challenges can be found in change-makers, idea-generators, and community leaders.
Chandrasekaran said he and Schultz selected each "upstander" using a "journalistic" process.
The series lives at Starbucks.com/Upstanders, which is powered by newly launched social change platform Fotition.
"Our goal here is not to sell more coffee; it is to inspire and engage millions of Americans to be better citizens," noted Chandrasekaran. "More Americans need to be standing up, rather than standing by." The chain also wants customers to encourage people to vote, find the "upstanders" in their communities, and share their stories with Starbucks, he added.

An excellent look at the Southern Soul label Sound Stage 7 and associated labels Seventy Seven, Sound Plus & Lunar. An often over looked southern soul sound of the mid 60's and 1970s, headed up by Nashville DJ and producer John Richbourg, once described as a white man with a black soul! This massive package is easily the best look at the label we've seen so far with a total of 77 tracks on 3 CDs, issued in March 2006. Plenty of deep soul, blues and R&B hits with many rare gems. A pity we are not treated to any label scans, however, a fascinating story is told in the accompanying 48 page booklet. Available on Charly 3 CD Box Set SNAJ 734.


Andrew Wiles has now proved Fermat's Last Theorem, but to most of us it's still as much of a mystery as it ever was. In Fermat's Last Theorem Amir Aczel gives us the background to this proof, describing the evolution of the mathematics involved, and the stories of mathematicians who have tried in the past to prove it but failed. Several convinced themselves that they had cracked it, only to have a fatal flaw discovered in their proof. The book is written in a non-technical way, with hardly any mathematical notation, and so it will appeal to the non-mathematical reader who wants to find out what all the fuss was about. Continued..
The Artist and the Mathematician: The Story of Nicolas Bourbaki, the Genius Mathematician Who Never Existed . Amir Aczel's book has a strange title, but then the story of Bourbaki is rather strange. Originally a joke, the Bourbaki name became a focus for updating the syllabus of mathematics in French universities, and eventually grew into a huge project to rewrite mathematics from the bottom up. As such it had great influence in the mathematical world, bringing a new sense of rigor to the way mathematics is done, as well as leading to initiatives such as New Math in the USA. Continued..
Philosophers have argued about the nature of consciousness for many centuries. In Impossible Minds Igor Aleksander looks at the question of whether a machine can be conscious, and more generally, what experiments with machine consciousness might tell us about the human variety. Aleksander describes the work he has been doing in trying to model consciousness, describing the features he thinks a conscious being will have and how he has included these in his neural network Magnus. But the book isn't just a description of the author's work, it also discusses the ideas about consciousness which people have put forward through the centuries. Thus it would suit anyone looking for a general overview of the nature of consciousness and the question of whether a machine can possess it. Continued..
Nowadays any mention of genetic engineering is likely to provoke a noticeable reaction, either in favour or against. In The Thread of Life: The Story of Genes and Genetic Engineering, Susan Aldridge gives an easy to read overview of this subject. The book was written over 10 years ago, before the debate became so polarised, and it's interesting to see how Aldridge is essentially in favour of genetic engineering, but still warns about the potential dangers.
The first part of the book looks at DNA - its discovery, its action in the cell, the sequencing of DNA and the role of DNA in evolution. Continued..
A speculation of the possibility of creating machines with a human-like mind.
Nanotechnology is seen as likely to be a significant presence in the future, and one way to implement it may be to use a technology that's been around for billions of years -that of life, and in particular of DNA. In Genesis Machines, Martyn Amos tells of the recent research into the possibilities of biological computers, explaining how experiments can be done which select a piece of DNA from billions within a test-tube, thus effectively implementing a massively parallel computer. Amos then goes on to describe how research has moved away from trying to compete with electronic computers, towards using biological computations within a biological context. Continued..
Death is something which has been thought of as a prime example of inevitability. But now it begins to look as if death may not be as certain as it seems. How to Live Forever or Die Trying: On the New Immortality takes a look at the people and research which is leading to this change. Bryan Appleyard has visited several of the organisations dedicated to the quest to conquer death. There are quite a few such organisations, including some which will freeze your body on the basis that you can be revived when we have found out how to banish death. Appleyard has also interviewed many people, both those who are involved in this quest, and those who oppose it. Continued..
In Galileo's Finger: The 10 Great Ideas of Science Peter W Atkins devotes a chapter to each of Evolution, DNA, Energy, Entropy, Atoms, Symmetry, Quanta, Cosmology, Spacetime, and Arithmetic. The book is written so that the chapters can be read individually if desired. Each chapter takes a look at the historical development and describes of some of the important concepts of the subject. The book gives a wide view of each subject rather than reporting the latest results, but it does help the reader to get an understanding of some difficult concepts, such as String theory, General relativity and Gödel's incompleteness theorem. Continued..
If you try to learn about thermodynamics then you might find yourself getting bogged down in the mathematics and the terminology. If so then you should consider reading Four Laws that drive the Universe in which P W Atkins gives a non-technical introduction to the subject.. In case you thought there were just 3, well Atkins starts with the Zeroth Law, which allows the concept of temperature. He then introduces the First law (conservation of energy) and the Second law which C P Snow said ought to be understood by any educated person. Continued..

How to set passed values into template's fields ?

A: For HTML this would work:
<input value="{{data["username"]}}" type="text" placeholder="Username" name="username" id="username" class="large_input">

For your JS I image you need to write this instead:
$('#code').val('{{data['code']}}');

Rock 'n' Roll Bookshelf: Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards (2008)
Posted Jan 16th 2014, 15:42 by Penguin Pete
This won't be a straightforward review of the book, Al Kooper's Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards. That's because Al Kooper is a character impossible to talk about without having the whole post revolve around him. We'll start by saying it's Kooper's self-penned autobiography, and a witty and engaging story-teller he is, too.
What??? You've never heard of Al Kooper? Well, by the time you're done, you'll wish you could trade lives with him.
Al Kooper, who did Super Session with Mike Bloomfield and Stephen Stills.
Al Kooper, who founded Blood Sweat & Tears, a band that later (after they kicked him out) went on to 3 Top-10 Billboard hits in 1969, including this one:
Al Kooper, played organ on Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone":
Al Kooper, who later became a music producer and signed a formerly undiscovered southern bar band you know as Lynyrd Skynyrd:
Al Kooper, who also produced the first album for The Tubes:
Al Kooper, he shared a studio and stage or two (by invitation) with Jimi Hendrix (page 94 of the book has a photo of same). Al Kooper, hung out with Elton John (page 155, photo). Al Kooper, was visiting with George Harrison and Ringo Starr the very night they got the news of John Lennon's passing away (page 231, photo). Al Kooper, did soundtrack production for film director Hal Ashby (page 151, photo).
This is why we can't just do a straight book review of Kooper's rollicking, frolicking, outrageous, no-punches-pulled autobiography. Just to introduce this stellar personality takes a whole blog post, and then there's no room for the blinking book!
Kooper is kind of like the Forest Gump of rock and roll: He managed to witness and/or participate in and/or create the bulk of the golden age of rock firsthand, through mostly innocently wandering into the wrong studios at the right time. But his sheer drive to be in and stay in the music business certainly helped along: Among many anecdotes he tells us, he wasn't even scheduled to play with Dylan on the day of recording "Like a Rolling Stone" - but he ran in to replace the scheduled studio organ player on that day. Since he didn't know the song that well, his notes came in with a slight delay because he bluffed his way through the whole thing, listening to what the band was doing first and then playing along.
See, that's just one thing you didn't know about a famous piece of music, and it took Al Kooper to tell you. And now you know who Al Kooper is, which - trust us on this - will come in handy in the afterlife where he'll be minding heaven's pearly gates whenever Saint John takes a smoke break, because he'll likely work his way to the top there, too.

(in English) Evolutive Image Coding has shown promising results in efficiency compared to other lossless coding methods, but until now, the processing power required for the fitness evaluation has limited its usefulness outside of large computer clusters. Using the CUDA programming language on comparatively inexpensive NVIDIA graphics cards, we have obtained speed increases of up to 150 times for the fitness evaluation. Some of the techniques we have used to improve performance include utilizing the GPU's fast shared memory whenever possible as well as performing some calculations for which the GPU is not as well suited, such as a histogram-based calculation, on the CPU while the GPU simultaneously calculates the fitness evaluation in order to minimize idle time.

What a beautiful, relaxing and comfortable place to stay whilst travelling! We stayed one night, enjoying a superb afternoon in a sun drenched verandah. The scenery was superb and the accompanying 'wildlife' just added the extra touch.
The accommodation was very clean and generously provided all the little 'extras' that makes you feel like you are experiencing a 'home away from home'. Everything is thought of ……. chocolates, port, candles and bubbles for the spa – enjoyed whilst overlooking the range. Awaking to glorious sunrise – from the Chapel – it was a real 'recharge' to the batteries.
We would highly recommend a stay at Hillview Cottages. The services is tops! Close to town with a number of eating places/take aways if you need a break from the kitchen!

Q: Circumvent the limitation of C# and pass collection of child elements In my Windows Store App I used c# 5.0. And I need to call the method which takes collection of base class, by passing collection of child class:
    public class Foo // base class
    {
         public int fooVariable = 1;
         public void fooMethod(){....};
    }
    public class Bar:Foo // child class

    public void DoSomething(Foo foo)
    public void DoSomething(List<Foo> foos)
    {
        foreach (var foo in foos)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine(foo.i);  //access to variable
            foo.fooMethod();         //access to method
            foo.i = 10;              //!!!i can change variable!!!
        }
    }

    private List<Bar> _list;
    public void Call()
    {
        DoSomething(new Bar());         // ok
        _list = new List<Bar>();
        list.Add(new Bar());            // I can add a lot of items.
        DoSomething(list);              // not ok

        foreach (var foo in foos)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine(foo.i);  // in console I need to see '10'
        }
    }

Is it possible to circumvent such limitation? If yes - how?
UPD
In DoSomething I neeed full access to all public methods/variables(read/write) /properties(read/write)

A: It looks like DoSomething(List<Foo> foos) only actually needs to iterate over the list. So you can change it to:
public void DoSomething(IEnumerable<Foo> foos)
{
    // Body as before
}

Now you can pass in a List<Bar> to that method due to the fact that IEnumerable<T> is covariant in T.


Uma tarde memorável neste lugar incrível. Vista de tirar o fôlego. Funcionários excepcionais e muito bem organizado.
Para uma tarde de frio, recomendo ir agasalhado na parte aberta.
although there are a few sights highlighed above the windows we felt that such a big city should be able to name more of them. When visiting a castle say, they show loads of different buildings and names on a plaque at waist hight. This would be much more helpful than only 4 or 5 buildings mentioned above the windows.

Go Daddy Super Bowl Ad to Hype .Co Domains
Go Daddy will use its 30 seconds during next year's Super Bowl to promote the .co domain, with lots of skin, of course.
The domain registrar, which has advertised in the big game since 2005, hopes that viewers will flock to websites ending in .co, and then spur a new round of buying. Since dot CO launched in July, about 500,000 have been registered. Go Daddy and partner .CO Internet S.A.S. sell the domains along with Register.com, Network Solutions and others.
An estimated 100 million people are expected to watch the Super Bowl on Fox on February 6. Thirty-second spots are going for around $3 million. Go Daddy, which produces its own ads, plans to feature Danica Patrick and Jillian Michaels in the ad, but isn't giving any other details about it.

I stutter and repeat myself a lot so bear with me.
If you've watched the video, I'd suggest a quick scan of the information here as I may have forgotten to share it in the video.
and I just loved how this worked out, I had to share.
I'm including the still shots with explanation as I know some may not be able to watch videos.
If you can, scroll on down and have a watch.
These are the pieces I'll be using today.
paint a dry or light layer down. Get the edges; inside and out.
Make sure not to have too much paint or your chipboard can warp.
as the chipboard color will darken the colors.
I wanted my color to be brighter and therefore needed the white base.
You'll need to let it dry completely before moving on.
If you are creating a tree or package ornament, you will repeat the step on the other side.
hanging the piece as you work may effect the outcome.
Next, you're going to add your thin, dry layer of liquid glue.
making sure to cover the entire surface.
ECD has a video demonstrating this entire technique with coloring, using their sticky paper.
With the glue, the polishing is not necessary.
You're ready to color up in your favorite combos.
This is actually a snowflake but I immediately saw red berries, leaves and the floral center.
So many possibilities. Go wild!
Once complete, you can run a metallic embroidery floss or thin ribbon through.
Adhere to card or package or hang from tree.
Sit back and gaze upon your beautiful embellishment or ornament.
