Q: select and extract a vector of indices from a data frame I have a data frame and a vector:
parameters <- data.frame(index = c(3:12, 15:18, 23:25), variable = c("Pin",
                      "Pout", "Tin", "speed", "D", "L", "Cin_h", "Cout_h", "VdA",
                      "preswirl", "mu", "mol_weight", "Cp", "Z", "ffactor_N",
                      "ffactor_M", "nfreqs"),
                      value = c(65, 4, 16.85, 7900, 110, 60, 0.1975, .1875, 2.31,
                                0.2, 0.0011877, 22.0, 1.4, 1.0, 0.0785, -0.1101,
                                30))
temp <- runif(100)

I want to read a vector of indices from parameters, and use them as an index  vector to read into temp. For example, let's assume I want the index corresponding to the variable nfreqs and Pout:
library(dplyr)
index_vector <- parameters %>% filter(variable %in% c("Pout","nfreqs")) %>% select(index)

The problem is that now index_vector is not a vector, but a dataframe, thus I can't use it to read into temp:
> temp[index_vector]
Error in temp[index_vector] : invalid subscript type 'list'

temp[index_vector$index] works, of course. But I was wondering if I could directly extract the vector I'm interested in, during the dplyr call, i.e., by suitably modifying
index_vector <- parameters %>% filter(variable %in% c("Pout","nfreqs")) %>% select(index)

A: We need to extract the column
temp[index_vector$index]
#[1] 0.2784451 0.1061800

But, if we need to do this within the %>%
library(magrittr)
parameters %>%
    filter(variable %in% c("Pout","nfreqs")) %>%
    .$index %>%
    extract(temp, .)
#[1] 0.2784451 0.1061800

Let's talk about one of the most talked about budget phone Asus ZenFone 5. It created lot of buzz in the mobile market and paved the way for Asus in mobile market arena. Let's discuss top things which you should know about this awesome device.
Asus has launched ZenFone series, it is the range of mid-range smartphones, the toughest rival being ZenFone 5. It gives a tough competition to Moto G, Lenovo and Google's Nexus 5.
When I say 'mid-range', it is only the price because the features are at par with high–end phones.
It is hard to believe, but ZenFone 5 is pretty impressive in design unlike boring designs that follow 'mid-range' smartphones. Needless to say but the design of phone is acknowledged worldwide and ZenFone's design won Reddot Award 2014. This is among top three prestigious awards in the world for industrial design.
The phone has premium touch which is mostly seen in iPhone and Samsung Galaxy high-end models comprising narrow side and metallic front bezel. The sides are polished with CNC Diamond cut technology finished with precision of 0.13mm giving the phone a rich look.
ZenFone has added simplicity to the phone by minimalizing all factors which clutter a basic Android UI. Asus calls its customized Android UI as ZenUI, icons are flat, color schemes are pleasing to eye, home screen is borderless while widgets blend in with screen. Combining all the features gives an agreeable and seamless experience to users.
Asus has also claimed to have designed over a thousand feature improvements to pile up with Android.
Asus has OpenCloud, its cloud service which lets you access your phone's data on other devices like your laptop, tablet, phablet etc. and vice versa. OpenCloud gives 5GB of free lifetime data storage, although users can also connect to their cloud accounts of Google Drive, Dropbox, SkyDrive, Asus HomeCloud and other such services.
You stay in Himalayas? Well even if you don't, and want to use your phone in Delhi's cold weather with gloves on, this phone will let you to use it. The ultra-sensitive touch can work this way as it can even detect slight changes in electric and magnetic fields.
Every phone has its features but not every mid-range phone has high-end features. With ZenFone 5, this has happened and it is now the toughest competition in budget phone category.


The facelift, technically known as rhytidectomy, is a plastic surgery procedure able to restore a more youthful facial appearance by removing excess fat deposits in the face and neck and tightening loose skin. The surgery may be performed on its own or it may be combined with other procedures like an eyelid lift or brow lift.
If you are healthy, have a good underlying bony structure, and are looking to improve the appearance of loose facial skin, jowls and extra fat deposits, then a facelift may be right for you. Tobacco and nicotine containing products cannot be used for several weeks before and after a facelift.
What does a consultation for a facelift entail?
During a consultation for a facelift, Dr. Naderi will examine your face, including the skin and underlying bone, take a thorough medical history, and discuss your goals. All aspects of the procedure will be explained including the technique, the anesthesia, the facility, the recovery, the risks, the costs and so on.
Dr. Naderi performs facelifts at INOVA system hospitals including Fair Oaks Hospital, Loudoun Hospital, Fairfax Hospital, and Mt. Vernon Hospital as well as the Countryside Ambulatory Surgery Center.
What type of anesthesia is used for the facelift?
General anesthesia or MAC (monitored anesthesia care) may be used for the facelift.
How is the facelift performed?
For the facelift, hidden incisions are made inside of the hairline and inside of the ear for women or in front of the ear for men. Excess fat and skin are then removed, the muscles are altered, the skin is tightened and the incisions are then closed.
How long does the facelift take to perform?
The facelift takes about two to three hours to perform.
Where are the incisions made for the facelift?
The incisions made for a facelift are hidden ones that are concealed inside of the hairline and inside of the ear for women or in front of the ear for men.
Does the facelift leave scars?
The incisions made for the facelift do leave scars though they are well-concealed behind the hairline and inside of the ear for women or in front of the ear for men.
Does the facelift involve much pain?
Patients may experience some discomfort after the facelift, though medication can help to control this.
Recovery after a facelift takes about ten days. Patients should expect some swelling and bruising. Bruising will fade within two to three weeks, and patients can help to reduce swelling by keeping the head elevated for the first few days. Bandages applied after surgery are usually removed within a few days.
When will I be able to return to work after undergoing a facelift?
Patients can return to work in about ten days after the facelift.
How soon will I be able to exercise after my facelift?
Patients will need to wait at least three weeks after the facelift before partaking in strenuous activities or exercise.
When will my stitches be removed after my facelift?
The stitches are removed in about one week after the facelift.
What are the risks or complications associated with the facelift?
All surgery carries potential risks. Those associated with the facelift include bleeding and fluid collection (1-3%).
Is the facelift covered by insurance?
The facelift is typically not covered by insurance as it is usually considered cosmetic in nature.
Can I finance my facelift?

A bass guitarist, pianist and composer, Piotr Damse, apart from his active participation as a stage musician in Cracow's live music scene, decided to publish his debut album. It was released by Lynx Music record label, renowned for promotion of progressive music, though the above- mentioned album does not present as being overly progressive. The following album constitutes a kaleidoscope of sounds inspired by ethnic and folk instruments such as banjo, duduk, harp or violin. Electronic music also plays its role here, adding to its expressive value.
Supported by lush harmony, the artist clashes various musical phrases. The abundance of musical genres utilised in the project takes us throughout music regions of the world, which brings out multidimensional character of the recorded material. If one could illustrate the album with one accurate expression, it would be 'film music without a film'.

Mulhall, John P; Verma, Nipun; Deveci, Serkan; Tal, Raanan; Kobylarz, Keith; Müller, Alexander (2014). Sildenafil citrate improves erectile function after castration in a rat model. BJU International, 113(4):656-661.
TAKE HOME MESSAGE: The administration of phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor commencing at the time of castration might preserve erectile function. OBJECTIVE: To determine if sildenafil citrate treatment could improve erectile function after castration. To determine if sildenafil citrate treatment reduces collagenisation and apoptosis in erectile tissue after castration. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In all, 60 Sprague-Dawley rats were studied; the rats were divided into the following groups: sham - no orchidectomy (S), control - orchidectomy only (O) and treatment - orchidectomy plus sildenafil treatment (V), with 10 rats per group. Erectile haemodynamics assessment was done at 7 days (S7, O7, V7) and at 28 days (S28, O28, V28) yielding a total of six groupings. Functional assessment measured the mean maximum intracavernosal pressure-mean arterial pressure (ICP/MAP) ratio. TUNEL assay was used to define apoptotic indices (AIs) and Masson's trichrome staining was used to evaluate smooth muscle-collagen (SM-C) ratios. RESULTS: The S28 group had the highest and the O7 group the lowest ICP/MAP ratio, at a mean (sd) of 70 (6)% and 36 (6)%, respectively. Both treatment groups, V7 [42 (12)%] and V28 [49 (13)%] showed statistically significant improvements over their corresponding control groups: O7 [36 (6)%] and O28 [37 (9)%] (P < 0.05). However, ICP/MAP values for V7 and V28 remained significantly below the S28 group (P < 0.001). There were no significant differences in ICP/MAP values between the 28-day and 7-day ICP/MAP ratios within each group (S, O, V). There were no significant differences in SM-C ratio between the O and V groups (O7 vs V7, P = 0.45; O28 vs V28, P = 0.16). There were no significant differences in AIs between the O and V groups (O7 vs V7, P = 0.54; O28 vs V28, P = 0.8). CONCLUSIONS: Daily treatment with sildenafil improved erectile function in rats after castration. ICP/MAP ratios increased significantly in the treatment groups compared with the control groups with the greatest erectile function occurring 28 days from administration. In this series of experiments the improved erectile function recovery with sildenafil after surgical castration cannot be explained by smooth muscle protection and decreased collagenisation. The improved erectile function with sildenafil after surgical castration cannot be explained by reduced apoptosis in erectile tissue.

Complex logic puzzle
This is a puzzle that was sent to me a while back, I am told it is really hard, but supposedly solvable, I cant solve it, but I am interested in the solution, or any tips on how to proceed.
In front of you is an entity named Adam. Adam is a solid block with a single speaker, through which he hears and communicates. For all propositions (statements that are either true or false) $p$, if $p$ is true and logically knowable to Adam, then Adam knows that $p$ is true. Adam is confined to his physical form, cannot move, and only has the sense of hearing. The only sounds Adam can make are to play one of two pre-recorded audio messages. One message consists of a very high note played for one second, and the other one a very low note played for one second.
Adam has mentally chosen a specific subset of the Universe of ordinary mathematics. The Universe of ordinary mathematics is defined as follows:
Let $S_0$ be the set of natural numbers:
$$S_0 = \{1,2,3,\ldots\}$$
$S_0$ has cardinality $\aleph_0$, the smallest and only countable infinity.
The power set of a set $X$, denoted $2^X$, is the set of all subsets of $X$. The power set of a set always has a cardinality larger than the set itself, $$|2^X| = 2^{|X|}$$
Let $S_1 = S_0 \cup 2^{S_0}$. $S_1$ has cardinality $2^{\aleph_0} = \beth_1$
Let $S_2 = S_1 \cup 2^{S_1}$. $S_2$ has cardinality $2^{\beth_1} = \beth_2$
In general, let $S_{n+1} = S_n \cup 2^{S_n}$. $S_{n+1}$ has cardinality $2^{\beth_n} = \beth_{n+1}$
The Universe of ordinary mathematics is defined as $$\bigcup_{i=0}^\infty S_i$$
This Universe contains all sets of natural numbers, all sets of real numbers, all sets of complex numbers, all ordered $n$-tuples for all $n$, all functions, all relations, all Euclidean spaces, and virtually anything that arises in standard analysis.
The Universe of ordinary mathematics has cardinality $\beth_\omega$.
Your goal is to determine the subset Adam is thinking of, while Adam is trying to prevent you from doing so. You are only allowed to ask Adam yes/no questions in trying to accomplish your task. Adam must respond to each question, and does so by playing a single note. After Adam hears your question, he either chooses the low note to mean yes and the high note to mean no, or the high note to mean yes and the low note to mean no, for that question only. He also decides to either tell the truth or lie for each question after hearing it. If at any time you ask a question which cannot be answered by Adam without him contradicting himself, Adam will either play the low note or the high note, ignoring the question entirely.
Adam has given you an infinite amount of time to accomplish your task. More specifically, the set of both questions asked by you and notes played by Adam can be of any cardinality. If in your strategy this set is uncountably large, for any number of possibilities of Adam's chosen subset, you must describe the order that the elements of this set take place in as completely as possible.
During your questioning, you are keeping track of the following numbers:
$B_1 = $ The number of questions in which Adam had the option of truthfully responding in the affirmative. (This number and the following numbers can of course be cardinal numbers.)
$B_2 = $ The number of questions in which Adam had the option of truthfully responding in the negative.
$B_3 = $ The number of questions in which Adam had the option of falsely responding in the affirmative.
$B_4 = $ The number of questions in which Adam had the option of falsely responding in the negative.
$B_5 = $ The number of questions in which Adam responded with the high note.
$B_6 = $ The number of questions in which Adam responded with the low note.
$B_7 = $ The number of questions.
Let $C = B_1+B_2+B_3+B_4+B_5+B_6+B_7$
A strategy exists which will eventually allow you to determine Adam's chosen subset. Describe such a strategy in which $C$ is as small as possible, for all possibilities of Adam's chosen subset.

$\begingroup$ Why the (group-theory) tag? $\endgroup$ – Oscar Cunningham Jan 16 '11 at 12:37
$\begingroup$ I think that since your questions are well-ordered (i.e. there's a "next question") then it's better to use ordinal numbers in order to keep track of the questions and so on. $\endgroup$ – Asaf Karagila♦ Jan 16 '11 at 14:34

I'd like to thank Ed Brown for his great selection of books as part of the 10 Great Books series. Ed Brown is the host of Science on Top, a weekly podcast discussing some of the latest news in science. Through it he hopes to draw attention to the wonder, complexity and importance of scientific research.
Without question, Demon-Haunted World is one of the seminal works of modern skepticism. Opening with the adage "it is better to light one candle than curse the darkness", Sagan shines light on many of our deeply-held superstitions: UFO's, the Loch Ness Monster, ESP, faith-healing and many more. The title chapter – and perhaps my favourite – details the history of demons and witches in the middle ages as an illustration of what superstition and ignorance can lead to. The whole book is brilliantly written – it's almost impossible not to read it in Sagan's slow, thoughtful, passionate voice.
I have long believed that an oft-overlooked aspect of skepticism is activism. Skepticism isn't just a way of thinking, it's about making the world better through scientific reasoning. And one crucial area that's crying out for scientific reasoning, argues Henderson, is politics. "Precisely what politicians think,' he writes, "is less important than how they think." But The Geek Manifesto is not just a tale of woe (although there is a lot of woe). It's a call to arms. It's an observation that the 'geeks' – the scientifically literate, the curious, and the social-media aware – are stirring and we're starting to make ourselves heard. An observation beautifully highlighted by the successful online campaign to get members of the public to buy and send a copy of The Geek Manifesto to every UK Member of Parliament.
We've all met people who, no matter how much evidence is presented that contradicts their world view will refuse to change their mind. Most people, in fact, double-down on their beliefs when directly challenged. Mistakes Were Made looks at the vaccinations, WMDs, criminal investigations and lots of other examples that show how cognitive dissonance, confirmation bias and false memories lead to self-justification. It's a great book for learning not only how our own thought patterns can be limiting us, but also for understanding why other people believe the things they do even when they're shown to be clearly wrong.
A very easy to read summary of some of the more common phenomena. Ghosts, Nostradamus, the Shroud of Turin, astrology and ESP are just some of the 27 paranormal subjects Lynne Kelly shines a scientific light on. Learn how to 'read minds' with the cold reading lesson, find out how spoon bending is done and how fire-walking works. Important lessons, in a fun and easy-to-read book!
We all know people who see chiropractors, acupuncturists or homeopaths. The evidence (or lack thereof) for these alternative medicines is clearly laid out in Trick or Treatment. But while the thorough analysis of the published medical literature is useful, the very first chapter is what grabbed me. An invaluable introduction to the scientific method, and it's importance in assessing medical treatments and claims.
Not really about skepticism, it's more of a popular science book. But it's definitely worth a read. It's probably one of the key books that got me interested in the wonders of science as a teenager, and I'm sure that was mainly because it's so funny. If you want a light-hearted (yet reverent), detailed summary of how the universe began and everything that's happened in it until now, this is the book for you.
I'm kind of cheating here, because this is really two books in one: a collection of fascinating science stories interwoven throughout a hilarious fantasy romp. Bumbling wizards living on a flat, disc-like world (which flies through space on the back of four elephants all standing on the back of a giant turtle, which makes sense) observe an even stranger world, a spherical world where things on the bottom are upside down but don't fall off. And by alternating between fiction and non-fiction, the Science of Discworld explores the origins of the universe, ideas of creation and lies-to-children – the half-truths and factual inaccuracies we use to teach broader truths.
Despite the deluge of scientific evidence warning of the dangers of climate change, a few scientists with links to politics and industry are working to foster the appearance of uncertainty. The same tactics, in fact, that were used to challenge the dangers of tobacco smoking. Merchants of Doubt is a fascinating and worrying look at how politics can hijack science, and how bad science can hijack politics. It's a big book, and at times a rather heavy read, but it's worth it.
Humans are not solitary creatures: we have evolved in tribes, and that has led us to a 'tribal' way of thinking. In Tribal Science, McRae explains how our social nature influences our decision making, pointing to historical events where otherwise intelligent people make bad choices. It also has one of the best accounts I've read of what happened to Einstein's brain after he died (it was stolen by the scientist who did the autopsy). An easy, fun read.
I'm a space nut, so I find most things Phil Plait writes to be wonderful! This is a skeptical look at common astronomy myths and inaccuracies, as well as conspiracy theories and general space knowledge. Everyone's wondered, at some point, why the sky is blue. One of the best explanations is in Bad Astronomy, as well as a superb point-by-point refutation of the moon-landing hoax.


Exploring Kerrie Warren's 'Australian Panorama' is like taking an extended walk through nature, as there is a point at which superficial preoccupations fall away, a point at which tranquillity descends, a point at which the unfolding landscapes begin to communicate with us directly, and a point at which we know that the experience has quietly come to an end, at least for now.
For some viewers however an inherent tension continues. As much as these works may allude to the external world, they nonetheless effect a movement in the opposite direction, drawing viewers into dynamic interior landscapes. The experience is immersive, although one is not immersed from without, but from within. This sensation of immersion is enhanced by the two immense panoramas that give the exhibition its name and flank the eastern and western walls of the gallery: The First Hit and Up for Rural Review would perhaps all too forcefully dominate the exhibition were it not for Warren's skilled manipulation of depth, texture and colour. Instead of feeling dominated, viewers feel invited to share in the surging, exploding, arcing, and often radiantly colourful life-forces expressive of the true and often unseen energy of the land.
It is as easy to become lost in the intense vitality and marked lyricism of movement as it is to participate in the vast unfolding vision they represent. The viewer dances with the raw dynamism of the land or rests to observe the fireworks that these lyrical canvasses set off. Like Ian Fairweather and Jackson Pollock, Warren paints standing up and looking down upon the artwork from above. Unencumbered by specifics of location, time and dimension, evocative combinations and distillations of impression, sensation, memory and reflection are synthesised in a process within which spontaneity, intuition, power, balance, extravagance and restraint all play a part.
While working within the abstract expressionist tradition, whimsical figurative interventions lap playfully at the edges of several works, providing a sense of fleeting solidity. Rhythmic and undulating, these artistically charged works evoke a state of lively flux, somehow reassuring in their inconstancy, and at once dynamic and at rest.

QuickSheets are two-page documents developed with PA DCNR-State Parks to provide specific control recommendations for the most common invasive plant species in natural areas. The audience for these sheets is natural resource professionals, who would have access to the equipment and materials described.
Knotweed is a rhizomatous forb that grows in dense, towering, monocultures, particularly in riparian corridors. This sheet provides the management approach and prescriptions to control Japanese knotweed and its congeners giant knotweed (Fallopia sachalinense) and Bohemian knotweed (Fallopia x bohemica).
This sheet describes the management approach and prescriptions to manage common reed, more commonly known as phragmites. Phragmites is a tall (8+ feet), rhizomatous, cool-season grass that grows in monocultures in wetland areas. The species is native to the northern hemisphere, including North America. However, exotic genotypes native to Europe and Asia are highly invasive in the eastern and central U.S.
The term 'exotic shrub' covers dozens of invasive species, including such notables as multiflora rose, autumn olive, shrub honeysuckles, Japanese barberry, privets, and the buckthorns. This sheet describes a general management approach and specific prescriptions to control most any of these exotic species.
Stiltgrass is an annual, warm-season, shade tolerant grass native to East Asia that is highly problematic in forest and other natural settings. This sheet describes the management approach and prescriptions for control.
Tree-of-heaven, or ailanthus, is a highly invasive, suckering tree species native to east Asia. Ailanthus is fast-growing, and will grow in sidewalk cracks, sun-baked subsoil, as well as verdant sites. This sheet describes the management approach and prescriptions to keep this pest in check.
Purple loosestrife is an herbaceous perennial that chokes wetlands and shores. It has prominent lavender blooms, and was introduced as an ornamental as well as accidentally through ship's ballast. This sheet describes the management approach and prescriptions for control.
Mile-a-minute is a spiny, annual vine native to east Asia that can reach lengths of 20 feet. Since its introduction in York County in the late 30's, its spread covers North Carolina to Ohio to Massachusetts. This sheet details the management approach and prescriptions to control mile-a-minute.
There are a number of invasive biennial species, including garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata), poison hemlock (Conium maculatum), and common teasel (Dipsacus fullonum). This sheet covers the management approach and prescriptions to control weedy biennials in natural area settings.
The label 'woody vines' covers a number of invasive species, including Oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus), kudzu (Pueraria montana), porcelainberry (Ampelopsis brevipedunculata), and Chinese wisteria (Wisteria sinensis). This advisory outlines the management approach and prescriptions to control any invasive woody vine.

Hungarian election panel clears questions of LGBT referendum
Demonstrators protest against Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and the latest anti-LGBTQ law in Budapest, Hungary
Hungary's National Election Committee (NEC) approved on Friday the government's list of questions on LGBT issues it wants to put on a referendum as part of what Prime Minister Viktor Orban has called an "ideological war" with the European Union.
Orban, a nationalist who has been in power since 2010, proposed a referendum on ruling party legislation that limits schools' teaching about homosexuality and transgender issues, stepping up a culture war with the EU.
An NEC spokesman confirmed that the panel had approved the government's questions.
Facing a tough election next year, Orban has increasingly sought to promote social policies that he says safeguard traditional Christian values against Western liberalism.
The European Commission has launched legal action against Orban's government over the new law, which came into force this month, saying it is discriminatory and contravenes European values of tolerance and individual freedom.
Orban aims to hold the referendum by early 2022 before a parliamentary election, where six opposition parties will unite against him for the first time.
Another set of referendum questions on key government policies submitted by Budapest Mayor Gergely Karacsony, who is vying with other opposition candidates to become Orban's challenger next year, was not on the NEC's Friday agenda.
Hungarians will be asked whether they support the holding of sexual orientation workshops in schools without parents' consent, and whether they believe gender reassignment procedures should be promoted among children.
They will also be asked whether content that could affect sexual orientation should be shown to children without any restrictions, and whether gender reassignment procedures should be made available to children.
The amendments, which have caused anxiety in the LGBT community, ban the use of materials seen as promoting homosexuality and gender change at schools, ostensibly as a measure to prevent child abuse.
Several civil rights groups have criticised Orban's reforms and a global survey last month by the Ipsos polling organisation found that 46% of Hungarians support same-sex marriage.
Orban owes some of his electoral success to a tough line on immigration. As that issue has receded from the political agenda, his focus has shifted to gender and sexuality issues.
A June survey by the think tank Zavecz Research put public support for Orban's ruling Fidesz party at 37% of all voters, while the joint opposition party list had 39% support. Another June poll by Median put support for Fidesz at 39% compared with 33% for the opposition parties.

After a while I found out I cannot login to the server via SSH.
I've connected to the server via KVM,
got user prompt - entered root but got no password prompt. just login incorrect after several seconds.
Anyway I can get into the server in order to fix this ?
I believe during the upgrade attempt a critical file was changed that broke one of the security related libraries

Inventors: Gregory Dean Hampton, Kamran Moallemi, Robert L. Warren
Method and apparatus for embedding auxiliary data in a primary data signal using frequency and time domain processing
Abstract: Auxiliary data is transported in subbands of a primary data signal by hiding the data in the form of colored noise. The colored noise has a spectrum that simulates the spectrum of the primary data signal in each subband. The data to be transported is first converted to a spread spectrum signal. The primary data signal is analyzed to determine its spectral shape. The same spectral shape is imparted to the spread spectrum signal in each subband, which is then combined with the primary data signal for transmission. The spectral shaping can be performed using time domain modeling and synthesis such as linear predictive coding. A plurality of different auxiliary information streams can be transported on the primary data signal. By adjusting the gain of individual spread spectrum signal carrier(s) and the power of the colored noise, the auxiliary information stream(s) can be rendered at any desired level below or above an interference threshold in the primary data signal.
Inventors: Chong U. Lee, Kamran Moallemi, Robert L. Warren
Multi-media copy management system
Abstract: Reproduction of a multi-media data signal which is stored on a source media or distributed via a communication network is controlled by inserting master tag data and control tag data into the data signal. A player/recorder inserts an additional generation of control tag information each time a copy of the media is made. If the number of generations of the control tag information is above a threshold value, reproduction of the data signal may be inhibited. For example, if the data signal comprises video data, the player/recorder may only allow playing of the video signal on a display but will not allow recording. The playing and recording of associated signals, such as an audio signal which accompanies a video signal, may also be controlled. The master tag data and control tag data may be provided as spread spectrum signals which are spectrally shaped and power-adjusted according to the data signal to render them imperceptible in the data signal.

A plurality of different auxiliary information streams can be transported on the primary data signal. By adjusting the gain of individual spread spectrum signal carrier(s) and the power of the colored noise, the auxiliary information stream(s) can be rendered at a desired level at, below or above an interference threshold in the primary data signal.
Method and apparatus for transporting auxiliary data in audio signals
Abstract: Auxiliary data is transported in a conventional audio signal by hiding the data in the form of colored noise. The colored noise has a spectrum that simulates the spectrum of the primary audio signal. The data to be transported is first converted to a spread spectrum signal. The primary audio signal is analyzed to determine its spectral shape. The same spectral shape is imparted to the spread spectrum signal, which is then combined with the primary audio signal for transmission. The spectral shaping can be performed using time domain modeling and synthesis such as linear predictive coding or by using subband coding techniques such as fast Fourier transforms. A plurality of different auxiliary information streams can be transported on the audio signal. By adjusting the gain of individual spread spectrum signal carrier(s) and the power of the colored noise, the auxiliary information stream(s) can be rendered inaudible in the primary audio signal, or at any desired level below or above an audible threshold.

Abstract: Reproduction of a data signal which is stored on a source media or distributed via a communication network is controlled by inserting master tag data and control tag data into the data signal. A player/recorder inserts an additional generation of control tag information each time a copy of the media is made. If the number of generations of the control tag information is above a threshold value, reproduction of the data signal may be inhibited. For example, if the data signal comprises audio data, the player/recorder may only allow playing of the audio signal over speakers but will not allow recording. The playing and recording of associated signals, such as a video signal which accompanies an audio signal, may also be controlled. The master tag data and control tag data may be provided as spread spectrum signals which are spectrally shaped and power-adjusted according to the data signal to render them imperceptible in the data signal.

November 4, 2011 in Tips.
The question has (predictably) popped up several times now, so here is a recapitulative post with workaround.
FireMonkey (as of now) doesn't support rendering semi-transparent objects in 3D.
October 24, 2011 in News, Tips.
…or when the old/new VCL mule shows it can still kick!
I was asked how hard it would be to do yet-another-Cover Flow-clone with VCL+GLScene, and how that would stand vs using FireMonkey on Windows.
October 17, 2011 in Tips.
If any of you had a look at FireMonkey's TCube object, you might have noticed rendering it is quite slow and quite complex.
If you were curious enough to look at the code, you might have noticed that TCube is actually a static mesh made up of 452 vertices, 1440 indices and 480 triangles, instead of the 8 vertices and 6 quads (12 triangles) one could have expected.
October 6, 2011 in Tips.
This post was actually written sometime ago, alas XE2 Update 1 didn't change much.
I've been looking at FireMonkey 3D side, by that I mean strictly the 3D side, not the UI components, or the 2D. Here are some observations, most born from maintaining and developing 3D software in C++ and later with GLScene, and with an eye to eventually porting some of GLScene code to FireMonkey (after all, most of GLScene's code is actually linear algebra stuff, mesh manipulations, file format imports, etc. and not OpenGL-specific).
September 5, 2011 in News.
Dan Bartlett spotted some GLScene source code in FireMonkey, see this thread in the Embarcadero forum for details, parts of the VectorGeometry.pas, Spline.pas and raycasting code have been identified. The code having been incorporated in closed-source code (KSDev's, Delphi XE2) it hadn't been spotted or reported so far (at least to my knowledge).

Case Report: Familial FSGS Associated with a Novel Variant of WT1
Genetic Diseases of the Kidneys: Non-Cystic - 1
1002 Genetic Diseases of the Kidneys: Non-Cystic
Stewart, Alexandra, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, United States
Alexandra Stewart,
Thurlow, John Stephen, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, United States
John Stephen Thurlow,
The underlying causes of Familial FSGS are currently being elucidated by exome sequencing. WT1 has been reported in association with Frasier Syndrome, Denys-Drash syndrome and isolated nephrotic syndrome. WT1 variants have emerged as a common cause of autosomal dominant FSGS.
We report a case of a 22 year old male who presented at age 17 with nephrotic range proteinuria progressing to ESRD over 4.5 years. His renal biopsy at that time revealed FSGS andExome sequencing (Next Generation Sequencing) demonstrated a WT1 variant of uncertain significance. Family history was significant for the following: mother with microalbuminuria (229mg/24hr on spot protein) and hypertension (onset 2 years prior to proteinuria); maternal uncle with congenital unilateral renal agenesis and later End Stage Kidney Disease requiring transplant at age 29 years; and maternal grandfather who died in his 60s on dialysis for unknown reasons. Genetic analysis in the patient and mother revealed the same heterozygous variant in WT1 (c.1078G>T, p.Gly360Cys).
WT1-related renal disease is associated with autosomal dominant inheritance. We strongly suspect the WT1 variant described was pathogenic, as evidenced by a family history of both FSGS and genitourinary tract malformations. We review the association of WT1 with nephrin and postulate a potential interaction with XY karyotype, similar to other WT-1 associated disease.

Pancakes are always a tasty treat but one of the many joys of this month is that there is a whole day dedicated to them! So grab your ingredients, a group of friends and dust off that pan – here are TOAST's top tips for perfecting Pancake Day.
On Tuesday 28th February homes up and down the country will getting messy – cue the egg and flour beating, furious batter whisking and adventurous pancake flipping - and potentially a bit of scrapping off the ceiling too.
Pancake Day or 'Shrove Tuesday' is a centuries-old tradition which marks last day for feasting before the 40-day fast period of Lent, which begins the day after on Ash Wednesday, and leads all the way up to Easter Sunday.
Traditionally a bell would be rung to call people to church on Shrove Tuesday (more on this later…), where they would gather to make confession and to be absolved of their sins. Following this, churchgoers would dash home and cook up as much perishable food as possible, in anticipation of Lent starting the next day, and so Shrove Tuesday became an occasion of much fun and merriment as people came together to celebrate one final blow-out, knowing it would be their last proper feast until Easter Sunday! Foods that most often needed to be used up would include eggs, butter and milk; which when mixed together with a little flour and heat would create…pancakes!
Ye olde pancake was often thick and sprinkled with a few spices; a far cry from today's sophisticated, skinny French crêpe, or stacks of the fluffy, syrup-soaked American equivalents. But regardless of form, Shrove Tuesday is still celebrated in the UK and around the world, in countries such as Australia, Canada, Denmark, Sweden, France and Poland who have all adopted the tradition and enjoy the fun and games, and of course - a lot of eating!
Even the sound of the church bell synonymous with Shrove Tuesday can still be heard across churches and villages today, although more likely today to mark the start of popular pancake race where competitors line-up, pans-in-hand, eager to see who can flip their pancakes and run at the same time to be the fastest across the finish line! This British tradition is said to have originated in 1445 when a housewife from Buckinghamshire was so busy making pancakes that she forgot the time until the church bell rang, and so she raced out of the house still carrying her frying pan filled with her uncooked pancake batter, tossing it all the way to church to prevent it from burning!
For Catholics and Anglicans the day is still observed with confession and absolution, in addition to slightly more modest feasting. But whether you are religious or not, Shrove Tuesday can be full of fun, joy and a whole-lotta sugar, that will ultimately make you happier that it's a Tuesday! So this year why not embrace this simple and tasty tradition and share it with others – here are TOAST's top tips for perfecting Pancake Day!
Get mouths watering by sending out a few pancake-inspired invites to your guests, like these gems by British illustrator Angela Chick.
The perfect pancake takes practice and a good pan; made from durable anodised aluminium Le Creuset's Pancake/Crêpe Toughened Non-Stick Pan is the perfect shape for creating delicious pancakes that brown evenly and release from the pan effortlessly, so it will have you flipping pancakes like a pro in no time!
Alternatively, Crate and Barrel's Silver Dollar Pancake Pan is a great, easy-to-use pan for making lots of little yummy pancakes at one time – perfect for when feeding a crowd.
Do you want to go for a simple, traditional pancake or thick, fluffy American-style? Gluten free buckwheat pancakes are very in this year – switching to wholegrain flours are healthier and will add a nutty flavour to your pancake proceedings - as well as fibre and slow-release energy. Or perhaps you might like to add a certain 'je ne sais quoi' to your pancake party and opt for some sophisticated French crêpes instead? If so, you can impress your guests with Andrew James' expert Crêpe Maker – a stand-alone crêpe stove, which comes with all the tools you need to make crêpes like a true French chef, including a batter spreader, wooden spatula, oil brush and ladle, as well as few tips to get you started.
Whatever your preference just make sure you make enough mixture; one pancake is never enough! Go for approximately 3 pancakes per head - and make sure you have some extra for some trial / disaster pancakes, just in case!
For lots of opportunity for fun, pick up a pancake batter dispenser like this one from OXO, which uses a unique valve in the spout to keep batter from leaking between squeezes. The comfortable, flexible body is easy to squeeze with one hand making it hassle-free and perfect for creating fun shapes and your very own 'pancake art'. Plus - snap on the base and you can store any extra batter in the fridge.
The best thing about pancakes is how versatile they are as when it comes to fillings – anything goes! If you want to keep things healthy trying swapping oil and butter for coconut oil, add lots of fresh fruit, berries and chopped vegetables to your toppings table, and if you want your pancakes to keep you feeling fuller for longer, sprinkle a bit of protein powder into your mix.
Gourmet popcorn creator Joe & Seph's have recently launched a range of delectable caramel sauces that are perfect for pancakes. Try their Salted Caramel Sauce or Toffee Apple & Cinnamon Caramel Sauce – both winners of 2 Stars each at the Great Taste Awards in 2016! Their Gin & Tonic Caramel sauce is also one to try and makes a great talking point on the toppings table!
If you're entertaining then why not invent a few topping combinations of your own, give each one a fun name, and then write up a short menu for your guests to choose from, and salivate over! You could even design one for each guest based on what you know they like, i.e. the Sophie Special – which would be a classic lemon and sugar, in case you were wondering. It needs to be freshly squeezed lemon juice mind you, and for that you might want to invest in a good quality juicer - for both style and substance, Alessi's options are both design classics as well as being brilliantly functional. Their Juciy Salif citrus squeezer is a truly iconic object, sketched by Philippe Starck during a holiday by the sea in Italy – a great talking point when entertaining and a truly beautiful object for the table.
Smaller and more convenient, but no less impressive is their stunning Valerio which combines a minimalist citrus squeezer and a small pestle.
Prepare, chop and decant all your toppings in advance and lay them out on a big table for your guests to choose from. We love Emma Bridgewater's stylish new monochrome 'Knives & Forks' range – perfect for laying out lots of different ingredients beautifully, or for a more Spring-centric look – her cheerful new Wallflower is delightfully floral and very uplifting.
Jimbobart's charming 'Are We Having Pancakes' hand-painted plate is also the perfect dish for serving up pancakes, for obvious reasons!
For real wow factor then you could also layer all your ingredients on a few cake stands, like this incredible creation from Be&Liv, made from transparent acrylic plates wrapped around a 24K gold plated stand.
Keep piles of pancakes warm with this brilliant Farmhouse White Pancake Warmer; crafted by skilled Portuguese artisans, this stylish piece of stoneware dish can go straight from the oven (keeping your pancakes warm) to the table, whilst perforations in the top allow steam ventilation to prevent soggy pancakes! It's also a great piece of kit if you'd prefer to make batches of pancakes to serve to your guests, rather than one by one.
Their matching syrup jug is also a lovely addition to any pancake party table!
Keep the tradition of the 'Pancake Bell' alive and get yourself your own bell to begin proceedings – you could ring it to wake up the house if you're serving breakfast pancakes for breakfast, or use it to mark the start of pancake flipping competition at home with friends and family.
Have a little fun in your kitchen by inviting your friends and family over for a pancake cooking challenge like no other; get two frying pans and plenty of batter at the ready, set a timer, ring the bell and see who can make the most (and best tasting!), pancakes in under 5 minutes! The host is judge and guests can take it in turns until there is only one pancake champion!
In honour of this time-old tradition why not give something up for lent? It's only 40 days…eeek.
Don't forget to tag @ToastLifeUK in your pancake creations – we would love to see them!


Regional anesthesia, including central and plane blocks (serratus anterior plane block and erector spinae block), are used for post-thoracotomy pain. The rhomboid intercostal block (RIB) is mainly performed by injection to the upper intercostal muscle plane below the rhomboid muscle. It has been reported to provide analgesia at the T3-T9 levels. The RIB was performed on 5 patients who had been scheduled for thoracotomy. The catheter was advanced in the area under the rhomboid muscle between the intercostal muscles. Postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) scores were observed and each patient's resting VAS score remained below 3 for 48 hours. The RIB has been observed to be a convenient plane block for post-thoracotomy analgesia. We believe that further information from detailed studies is required.

Для более ранних версий, я думаю, надо выкачивать html, добавлять туда скрипт, и отдавать уже во вьюху.
A: Скрывать блоки по окончание загрузки стр. выглядит не очень красиво, если и скрывать то уже начиная со старта страницы, я для этого использовал WebChromeClient
public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress)
{
    if (progress < 100) {
        wv.loadUrl("javascript:какой то скрипт");

Собственно так делаю когда не вижу больше выхода, а так лучше будет подменять css сайта свой.
UPD
По поводу js, почему бы не использовать
$('#header').attr('style', 'display:none');


"Ada's dreams smelled like fire. They floated away like Chinese paper lanterns if she didn't write them down. She had to trap them with a pen. That was how it started. Not a journal, exactly, but a deck of index cards, scribbled over with encounters..."
I've been getting up before the sun lately. It's a different world when almost everyone else is still asleep. And words are different, too, closer to dreams. A good time for pages.

Mr. Tom Harris: The locations of the properties in question, along with details of the purchaser are as follows.
Mr. Tom Harris: The Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) has carried out a study of the costs and benefits of electrification, including the Great Western Main Line. Although Reading to Maidenhead was not estimated separately, a cost in the order of £50-£70 million could be expected for this section of route on the basis of the rates used.
Jim Fitzpatrick: The information requested is not available at constituency level.
Jim Fitzpatrick: The Government announced in February, the intention fundamentally to review the driver testing and training system with the aim of improving the way driving is taught and assessed as part of the Government's effort to reduce all road casualties. Work continues to inform this and we plan to consult publicly as soon as practicable.
The Department continues to campaign on road safety issues relevant to young drivers. For example, we are running a Christmas drink-driving campaign based on new material launched this summer and we have revived an influential rear seat belt wearing TV commercial.
Mr. Tom Harris: The total number of road traffic accidents including the number involving road freight is not available.
The total number of road traffic accidents that have resulted in personal injury (PIAs) in each of the last five years and the number involving at least one heavy goods vehicle (HGV), that is a vehicle over 3.5 tonnes gross weight, on the M1, M2, M6, M20, M25, M60, M62, A1(M), A1, and A14 are shown in the following tables.
Jim Fitzpatrick: A table showing the number of reported personal injury road accidents involving (a) cyclists, (b) pedestrians and (c) goods vehicles that occurred in England in each of the last five years, broken down by police force area has been deposited in the Libraries of the House.
accidents involving class 3 vehicles. However, in 2006, the Department published research into the use of class two and three mobility scooters and powered wheelchairs. Based on the evidence gathered, the Department does not believe that class 3 vehicles have a significant impact upon road safety at this point in time but continues to monitor the situation.

If I were you I wouldn't link to that Matt dude. He doesn't make any sense.
As far as the "It's all about the lying" article, it's line after line of the guy's opinions. What's to discuss?
It's just more of the same. All hat and no cattle.
Ha! Glad to know that, Dave. Barbara Bush looks like such a tough old bird it's surprising she didn't manage to knock some sense into her son.
But seriously, news reporting seems to have become mostly a matter of trying to thread through all the lies to figure out what's really going on. It's just one report about lies after another today, from the UAE deal to the lies about New Orleans to what's now happening in Iraq, which is totally out of our control.
The most impressive lie, to me, was the news report in which Chertoff was officially reporting on the news that everything possible was being done in New Orleans and the situation was under control WHILE we were watching the live reports of the begging souls at the Conference Center, the Superdome, on the bridges, all desperate, shots of that dead body in the wheelchair, a father holding a baby pleading for at least water to keep the baby alive, and I just couldn't fathom Chertoff standing there assuming this was OK or we didn't know about it. Liar! This is a brutal man and we have to get rid of him.
Well I'll be seeing him in about an hour so I'll tell him Hi for you.
Well, that's different. Always good to lend a friend a hand.

Q: Mouseposition Tooltips, (Tippy, Tooltip.js) on Fullcalendar i implemented Tippy (https://atomiks.github.io/tippyjs/)  as a Tooltip library for Fullcalendar (https://fullcalendar.io/)
I have this in the eventRender function of fullcalendar:
    eventRender(info) {
      info.el.setAttribute('id', info.event.id);
      let  eventWidth = 0;
      let relX = 0;
      let relY = 0;
      let relOffsetX = 0;

      $( info.el).mouseover(function( event ) { //info.el -> html element
        relX = event.pageX - $(this).offset().left;
        relY = event.pageY - $(this).offset().top;
        eventWidth = document.getElementById(info.event.id).offsetWidth;
        relOffsetX = relX - eventWidth / 2; // not finished but atm nothing is set as offset
        tippy(info.el, {
          content:  `${info.event.extendedProps.listTitle  } / ${   info.event.extendedProps.swimlaneTitle}`,
          offset: relOffsetX,
        });
      });

The offset is correctly calculated but it does not work, the tooltip always is in the same positon ignoring the mouse position.
Can someone help?
I would also accept as a alternative solution another Tooltip node or meteor package, which works better.

Configuration of JSCS is via presets ( see http://jscs.info/overview#preset ), e.g. based off Google JavaScript style guides.
This buik of the JSCS configuration file is then just selecting the desired preset and providing any overrides as necessary - i.e. it wont have much in it.
Note - as the presents are baked into JSCS, simply updating JSCS updates the presets and the associated linter rules. I.e there is no need to manually reconcile linter rules against the reference set.

## ESLint

Configuration managed by the eslint-config-defaults npm package ( https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-config-defaults ). This provides a setup of well known presets that can be selected via the eslint configuration file.

ESLint supports framework integration with e.g. React and Angular. Each integration is install as a npm package  (eslint-plugin-**) and configurated in the eslint configuration file within the packages section.

## JSHint

I've moved away from JSHint to ESLint for its ES2015+ support. In addition, ESLint configuration can be managed via the eslint-config-defaults package which allows for off-the-shelf configuration.


I think we have made it through the worst of the spring rains..
Thank goodness for Sunshine, BBQ's, evenings out on the deck with a glass of wine at the end of the day and so much more!
To that end, lets talk Wine.
Pinot Grigio being totally dry, with a brilliant acidity and a bitter almond note, Pinot Gris fleshy and having faint honey notes.
Pinot Grigio is rapidly becoming a favourite amongst the white wine drinkers in our crowd.
There are about 71,000 acres of Pinot Grigio vines planted worldwide!
In store we offer three kits in stock at the moment.
Traditional Vintage Italian Pinot Grigio-you will finds hints of Apple, Pear and light spice.
Atmosphere Italian Pinot Grigio described as 'Crisp, fresh with delicate floral aromas, green apple on the palate, subtle mineral, citrus and tropical fruit flavours. Both the Italian Kits are a 0 on the sweetness scale.
Then, we have the top of the line Cellar Craft Showcase Pinot Gris from Yakima Valley Washington. Ever had and loved New Zealand's Oyster Bay Pinot Gris? This kit will put you in mind of that wine. 'Green apple and lemon against a honeyed, floral backdrop. Rich mouth-feel, tangy acidity, with floral and mineral noteson the lingering finish.' This kit is about a '1' on the sweetness scale and divine in every sense of the word!
Whether you choose the dry Italian or the off dry Yakima valley kit, they will be a hit at any party you have or attend!
Lightly spiced fair, fish and shellfish are classic Pinot Grigio pairing. Semi soft to firm cow and sheeps cheeses, fresh veggies and lively salads.
Cheers, enjoy the patio season-it's my second favourite time of year in the Kootenays!
April Customer Appreciation Draw winner-New May contest!
Congratulations to our April Customer Appreciation draw winner, Shauna Quigley! She managed the closest count of the itty bitty jellybeans. There were 356, she guessed 353..pretty darn close! Although there were three others that were just about as good. These were the obviously competitive bunch-employing calculators and or much patience in their counting of da Beans!
This one should be interesting.
I'm looking for ideas for a great June customer appreciation draw or contest!
Every idea received will be entered for a chance to win 10% off their next kit! The author of idea we decide to USE- will receive a plump 15% off their next kit purchase!
I've done a couple of draws now-one where simply purchasing a kit gets you an entry, one where each kit purchase gets you one guess at how many jellybeans in the wine bottle-closest guess won.
I'm looking for something along these lines, but with a different twist. The idea being that it's a 'customer' appreciation draw-so a kit purchase would garner an entry into whatever amazing, crazy, incredible idea you come up with! June 1 will mark the beginning of my seventh month as store owner-so, a half year anniversary draw.
Think big-ish! It's the best way I have of thanking my customers for their continued support!
All ideas must be submitted by midnight May 30th.
I look forward to reading all your wonderful ideas! It's an Easy peasy way to win 10% off the kit of your choice-you've got nothing to lose!
Yet again we will feature not two, but FOUR Traditional Vintage wine kits at 10% off.
Vibrant and fruit-forward with a subtle grassy aroma and flavours of gooseberry and fig. Refreshingly light and very dry.


On a desert site of undisturbed native vegetation, the modest retreat is defined by an 8-foot-high concrete wall that supports a steel roof structure and encloses two courtyards.
Everything inside the containment wall functions as living space, making it a 2,900-square-foot, rather than a 730-square-foot (of climate-controlled area), house.
In the traditional post-and-beam model, glass expanses blur the boundary between landscape and building.
In contrast, this retreat is about the walled enclosure marking the building as volume and mass.
What is adapted from mid-century design is the logic and clarity of an unconventional residential structural system — and the virtue of supreme indoor-outdoor living on a small scale.
