Q: Flutter - Mockito Firestore...get() - The method 'document' was called on null for learning purposes I am trying to mock a Firestore controller class with Mockito.
firestore_controller.dart
import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

class FirestoreController implements FirestoreControllerInterface {

  final Firestore firestoreApi;
  FirestoreController({this.firestoreApi});

  @override
  Future<DocumentSnapshot> read() async {
    final DocumentSnapshot document = await this.firestoreApi.collection('user').document('user_fooBar').get();
    return document;
  }
}

firestore_controller_test.dart
import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart';
import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';
import 'package:mockito/mockito.dart';
import 'package:fooApp/Core/repositories/firebase/firestore_controller.dart';

class MockFirestoreBackend extends Mock implements Firestore {}
class MockDocumentSnapshot extends Mock implements DocumentSnapshot {}

void main() {
  TestWidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();

  group("Firebase Controller", () {

    final Firestore firestoreMock = MockFirestoreBackend();
    final MockDocumentSnapshot mockDocumentSnapshot = MockDocumentSnapshot();
    FirestoreController sut;

    test("try to read a document", () async {

      // Arrange
      final Map<String, dynamic> _fakeResponse = {
        'foo': 123,
        'bar': 'foobar was here',
      };

      sut = FirestoreController(firestoreApi: firestoreMock); // INJECT MOCK

      // Arrange: Mock
      when(firestoreMock.collection('user').document('user_fooBar').get()).thenAnswer((_) => Future<MockDocumentSnapshot>.value(mockDocumentSnapshot));
      when(mockDocumentSnapshot.data).thenReturn(_fakeResponse);

      // Act
      final fakeDocument = await sut.read();

    });
  });
}

 Console Output
NoSuchMethodError: The method 'document' was called on null.
Receiver: null
Tried calling: document("user_fooBar")

sorry if the mistake is obvious, this is the first time I've used Mockito
Where's my error? What do I miss? Thanks a lot!

A: try this:
https://pub.dev/packages/cloud_firestore_mocks
A test I've done using it:
class MockFirestore extends Mock implements Firestore {}
class MockDocument extends Mock implements DocumentSnapshot {}

void main() {
  final _tAppointmentModel = AppointmentModel(
    appointmentID: kAppointmentID,
    date: DateTime.parse("2020-12-05 20:18:04Z"),
    description: "test description",
    doctorID: kDoctorID,
    hospitalID: kHospitalID,
    infantID: kInfantID,
  );

  group('AppointmentModel tests: ', () {
    final tAppointmentID = kAppointmentID;
    final tInfantID = kInfantID;
    final tDoctorID = kDoctorID;
    final tHospitalID = kHospitalID;

    test('should be a subclass of Appointment', () async {
      expect(_tAppointmentModel, isA<Appointment>());
    });

    test('store and retrieve document from Firestore', () async {
      final instance = MockFirestoreInstance();
      await instance.collection('appointments').add({
        'appointmentID': tAppointmentID,
        'date': DateTime.parse("2020-12-05 20:18:04Z"),
        'description': "test description",
        'doctorID': tDoctorID,
        'hospitalID': tHospitalID,
        'infantID': tInfantID,
      });

      final snapshot = await instance.collection('appointments').getDocuments();
      final String expected = _tAppointmentModel.props[0];
      final String result = snapshot.documents[0].data['appointmentID'];
      expect(expected, result);
    });
  });
}

A: So I think I've found why this is - it appears to be a bug(ette) in Mockito, in that it doesn't handle the "dot walk" from collection(any) to document() or getDocuments().  I fixed it like this:
declare five classes:
class MockFirebaseClient extends Mock implements Firestore {} //for your mock injection

class MockCollectionReference extends Mock implements CollectionReference {} //for when declaration

class MockQuerySnapshot extends Mock implements QuerySnapshot {} //for the thenAnswer return on collection of docs

class MockDocumentReference extends Mock implements DocumentReference {} //for single doc query

class MockDocumentSnapshot extends Mock implements DocumentSnapshot {} // for the thenAnswer return on single doc query

Do your setup etc - then the when clauses are just:
when(mockCollectionReference.getDocuments())
         .thenAnswer((_) => Future.value(mockQuerySnapshot));  //for collection of docs query

when(mockDocumentReference.get())
            .thenAnswer((_) => Future.value(mockDocumentSnapshot)); //for single doc query

Title: Agglomeration of magnetic nanoparticles
Authors: Chuan Lim, E.W.
Feng, R.
Issue Date: 28-Mar-2012
Citation: Chuan Lim, E.W., Feng, R. (2012-03-28). Agglomeration of magnetic nanoparticles. Journal of Chemical Physics 136 (12) : -. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3697865
Abstract: The formation of agglomerates by salt-induced double layer compression of magnetic nanoparticles in the absence and presence of an external magnetic field was investigated experimentally as well as computationally in this study. The structures of the agglomerates were analyzed through scanning electron microscopy and proved to be highly porous and composed of large spaces among the branches of a convoluted network. In the absence of an external magnetic field, the branches of such a network were observed to be oriented in no particular direction. In contrast, when the agglomeration process was allowed to occur in the presence of an external magnetic field, these branches appeared to be oriented predominantly in one direction. A modified Discrete Element Method was applied to simulate the agglomeration process of magnetic nanoparticles both in the absence and presence of an external magnetic field. The simulations show that agglomeration occurred by the formation of random clusters of nanoparticles which then joined to form a network. In the presence of anisotropic magnetic forces, these clusters were rotated to align along the direction of the magnetic field and the final network formed consisted largely of elongated branches of magnetic nanoparticles. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.

State championships will change format this year
PUBLISHED: January 30, 2007 at 2:25 p.m. | UPDATED: August 15, 2016 at 8:04 p.m.
It doesn't happen often, but this season the California Interscholastic Federation boys and girls state basketball championships will extend to a three-week format and all the Northern California regional championship games will be played in Stockton.
"It's a facility issue," CIF director of communications Emmy Zack said. "We like the two-week format, but the downside is that we don't have our own facility and we can't have (the tournament) when we want it."
Arco Arena hosts the first and second round of the NCAA men's basketball tournament on March 15 and 17. The third weekend of March is the traditional date of the CIF state championships. Arco will host the high school state finals on March 23-24.
The CIF was aware of the situation before the new contract (that runs through 2009) was signed in 2006.
"We knew that facility would not be available; this is not unprecedented," Zack said. "We've done this before when Arco was not available."
Division I, II and III NorCal championship games will be played at the new Stockton Arena and Divisions IV and V at Delta College on March 17.
Due to expansion in the Los Angeles City Section, the SoCal Division I brackets for both boys and girls will include 16 teams, rather than the eight which qualify in all other divisions. This had nothing to do with the state championships being extended a week, Zack said.
The decision to extend the schedule was made by a commission of administrators and coaches. It gives teams more rest and moves the regional semifinals to Saturday, perhaps allowing more people to attend, Zack said.
"We think it's going be another great tournament," she said.
GAELS MAKING NOISE: After a 70-24 loss to Miramonte — the top team in the Diablo Foothill Athletic League — Dublin responded like veterans, even with two freshmen and two sophomores in the starting line up.
The Gaels bounced back to beat Northgate (by 11 points) and Alhambra (by 14 points) in the same week. Dublin at one point was down 14 points to the Bulldogs in the first half before turning on the jets.
"It says a lot about their character," Gaels coach Mark Wainwright said. "Miramonte whipped us bad. We said, 'Lets just put our cards on the table, we got our butts kicked, there's a level we want to get to but there's a lot of work to be done to get there.'"
Freshmen guards Chereese Thomas and Nikki Beckman, along with sophomores Jayme Goodwin and Jasmine Smith make up the small lineup that can score from all angles.
Thomas is establishing herself as one of the league's top defenders and the return of center Miesha Britton from injury has Dublin looking to improve on its 15-5 and 6-2 DFAL record.
"They came out and played the best third quarter of their lives," said Wainwright about the Gaels outscoring Alhambra 17-3 in the period. "They just took over and they were all over them … We were hitting them from all directions."
THE 'WOW'-LING EFFECT: St. Patrick-St. Vincent junior forward Alex Cowling can do it all: rebound, run the break, post up, hit a 3-pointer.
But leadership is perhaps her best attribute, and she has the Bruins on a path to the Division IV state championship.
"I like to think that I'm not selfish," Cowling said. "If I'm not open I'm not going to force it. I look for the open person first."

Will this work on nav units in trucks?
Could you tell me what the difference is with the extra choices of 4, 8 or 16 gb SD chips. Are these in addition to the sale price and what extra is provided with each level of chip choice. In other words, what makes it better for me as a user for each level of chip set.
The Size of the SD card is user preference and some users may need extra storage for pictures geocaches or gpx tracks.
The larger card just gives you extra space.


Pixies will be hitting the road on a 2019-2020 World Tour, kicking off this September with 33 dates scheduled across 16 European countries.
The pioneering alt rockers will head out on what will be their first European tour in two years in support of their brand new studio album. They will rehearse and prepare to play in the region of 90 songs from across their back catalogue alongside tracks from their new release.
Pixies' upcoming release, which has yet to be given a title, was recorded last December at Dreamland Recordings near Woodstock, NY with producer Tom Dalgety. It will be the band's second album since naming Paz Lenchantin as permanent bassist as well as their eighth overall studio recording.
Pixies are Black Francis on rhythm guitar and vocals, Joey Santiago on guitar, David Lovering on drums and Paz Lenchantin on bass.
After five genre-defining studio albums, Pixies disbanded in 1993.
They launched their reunion tour in April 2004, playing to sell-out crowds across the globe for 15 years.
Founding bassist Kim Deal left the band in 2013.
Since reuniting, Pixies have released two studio albums including 2014's Indie Cindy and 2016's Head Carrier.


You have been mediating all your life. As a child you persuaded your parents. As an adult, you persuade your spouse and children. As an employee, you have persuaded your employer.
Mediation is a meeting with parties who have a dispute and a trained mediator who acts as a neutral. The mediator does not favor either side of the dispute but assists the parties in reaching a mutual resolution. The mediator acts as the voice of reason.
The goal of a mediation is reached when the parties believe that the resolution was fair. The two main factors in a successful mediation are the parties ability to cooperate and the skill of the mediator.
Mediation is a creative solution to problems, your problems. If you maintain an all or none approach, the mediation will probably fail and the legal system will have to resolve your conflict at a greater financial and emotional price.
The best approach to mediation is to keep an open mind. You don't have to automatically discount possible solutions at the beginning. This only fuels the anger of the opposing side –the side that you need to cooperate. You should ask questions and explore the realistic possibilities of the offer. Sometimes by asking the right questions, you can reveal the weakness of the offer without having to directly discount the offer. Sometimes you can steer the offer into a more beneficial one.
On matters that are fresh, parties tend to maintain a defensive position stronger and longer. On matters that have existed for awhile, most favor a resolution and are flexible to solutions.
You may have more than one mediation. This is preferable if there are a lot of issues. A three hour session is a long time. The parties become emotionally drained and unless things are running smoothly and you are making progress, you should stop after three hours. You can then evaluate whether another session would be beneficial.
The most important element in a successful resolution is your choice of mediator. While it is certainly preferable to have a mediator with knowledge of your particular dispute (landlord/tenant; property issues; divorce/separation); the mediator's ability to interact with different personalities is even more crucial. The mediator needs strong people skills. The mediator needs to have basic psychological savvy that only comes from experience. They should be creative and suggest options, lots of options. They need to be clear, organized and keep the mediation moving. Their skills should match the sophistication of the participants.
Your life experiences should help you in selecting a mediator. If you generally like someone and are impressed with them, so will your opponent. If you dislike someone, you are not going to trust their judgment. Hire only experienced mediators. You then have the benefit of many years of conflict resolution to help you.
Can I always select the mediator?
If you arrange for a private mediator, you can. If you are using a mediator through a court system or through a company or government, you might be assigned a mediator. You can ask if an outside mediator is allowed.
How can I find out if my dispute can be handled through mediation?
If a lawsuit is filed, call the court where the matter is pending and ask if it can be referred to a mediator. If the court has a dispute resolution program, it will be transferred there. If you have an attorney, tell your attorney you wish to have the matter submitted to mediation. If you have a dispute with a company or corporation, ask if they utilize or would utilize a mediation service. Most governmental agencies utilize mediation as well.
If a lawsuit is filed and the matter is resolved through mediation, what happens to the lawsuit?
The parties enter into a written resolution and it is submitted to the judge as a consent agreement.
Always have a goal in mind of what you want and what you will settle for and back into it. Always keep your goal in mind so that you can direct the resolution.
Can I take an attorney to the mediation?
Yes. Obviously, if you already have an attorney involved in the dispute, you should take them, or you should retain an attorney who is also a mediator. They will investigate and argue both sides. Their legal experience and training sharpens their ability to persuade. You should consider the importance of the matter. If it's important, you should take your own attorney.
What if I don't want to say negative things about my opponent in front of them?
Ask the mediator to caucus. In a caucus, you speak in private with the mediator, outside the presence of the opposing side. You can speak in confidence. The mediator will not share your comments if you request a matter be kept confidential.
Should I hire a mediator who is an attorney?
Yes, but consider the mediator. Are their people skills strong? Attorneys are problem solvers. They are paid to resolve disputes. Their experience teaches them to look for an answer, deal with the controversy and seek results. This is the purpose of mediation.
You find out the opposition's version of what happened. You find out what information (later known as evidence) they have that supports their position. This helps should the matter not be resolved and it goes to Court. You know more about what you have to disprove.
As an attorney, what do you see as the benefit of mediation?
You control the outcome. Most of the cases I handle alter individual's lives. Any time you give this control to a judge, you run a 50/50 risk it might not go your way. You need to honestly evaluate the effects of a bad result. This possibility is the reason for mediation.

As I mentioned in my last post, I recently went to an event with ASOS beauty for the brand Deciem and more specifically, their brand The Ordinary.
I'm just going to throw it straight out there that this isn't sponsored, I just LOVE this brand. I had actually bought two or three products before I went to the event - just sayin'.
So, on to the products. At the event we were lucky enough to meet and hear the co-founder chat about the items and how to use them. They're great as they're stackable and so so affordable. Most of the things I've featured are £5-6, and all below £10. Can I get a hell-yeah?
My favourite of all has to be the hyaluronic acid. I use it morning and night, before my moisturiser and after using the caffeine solution on my under-eyes. The acid just helps to puff your skin back up and leaves my skin feeling glossy and moisturised (but absolutely not greasy). Following the acid, my next favourite has to be between the caffeine solution which is used on under eyes to help curb darkness or potentially the vitamin c suspension moisturiser which is just so lovely and thick but not in any way heavy when on the skin.
I also totally reccomend the high-spreadability primer as it gives your make up an insane, smooth base to sit on and also the rose-hip oil for use at night. It's a little bit greasy feeling but by the time you wake up in the morning your skin legit feels GREAT.
So yes, a little bit on my latest favourite brand. Let me know if you've tried anything before!

Kesha's New Music May Be Here Soon, & It's About Time
by Karen Fratti
There is some very good news for Kesha fans this weekend. Sony's announced that Kesha's new music is coming out a lot sooner than expected. In a statement from Buzzfeed, the record company said, "Creating a new album takes time, and everyone's goal is to deliver a high quality album consistent with Kesha's past releases. We hope to share exciting new music with Kesha's fans soon. But it might be best to not get your hopes too high just yet. In a total buzzkill move, Kesha's attorney s attorney, Daniel Petrocelli, told Buzzfeed, "Kesha has been trying for six months to record and release new music. Only in the last month, after our last court hearing, has any progress been made, but it is hardly enough. Kesha still has received no commitments on promotion, songs, or even a release date."
Talk about mixed messages, huh? He added, "We hope things turn around fast. Meanwhile, Kesha intends to continue participating in the creative process in the hopes she can meaningfully return to work."
Over the course of the past months, Kesha's submitted 28 songs to Kemosabe, the label owned by Sony and run by Dr. Luke, the producer at the heart of Kesha's legal battle with the label.

Petrocelli said this August that Kesha's submitted the songs to Sony and that ler legal team "conveyed to Sony Music and the label Kesha's strong desire to release the single and an album as soon as possible." Sony's statement that they expect to have new music "soon" is promising, but the lack of concrete promotional dates and deadlines means they might be taking their time.
Kesha moved to drop her suits against Dr. Luke in August in an effort, according to her, to move on with her career and get new music out into the world. She's been stuck in a legal dumpster fire with Dr. Luke, Kemosabe, and Sony Music since 2014 after alleging that Dr. Luke sexually assaulted and emotionally abused her. Kesha was reportedly told that she couldn't release new music unless she worked with Dr. Luke, which the label claims is just not true. Dr. Luke's attorney Christine Lepera, told BuzzFeed that Kesha dropped her claims "because she has no chance of winning them," not because it was a way to get back to work. Lepera addd in August that, "Kesha never should have brought her false and meritless claims against Dr. Luke in any court," Lepera added.
In any case, it's been a long, hard few years for Kesha and her fans. Let's hope Sony gets some new music on the calendar as soon as possible.

Q: Ordenar elementos de un archivo importado en python Tengo un archivo con 10 elementos desordenados, deseo ordenar esos elementos en otro programa de manera ascendente y que me genere un archivo de salida con los datos ya ordenados.
Mi archivo con 10 elementos es éste, guardado en formato .py nombrado "T6"
def num(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j):
print(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j)

num(4,3,6,1,2,8,5,7,9,10)
Y este es el de importar
import T6
band = False
while band == False:
band = True
for i in range(len(T6.num)-1):
      if (T6.num[i] > T6.num[i+1]:
         aux = T6.num[i]
         T6.num[i] = T6.num[i+1]
         T6.num[i+1] = aux
print(T6)
T6.num(4,3,6,1,2,8,5,7,9,10)

A: Después de leer tu comentario, he entendido que lo que quieres es tener en T6 una variable con 10 números, y poder llamarla desde otro módulo y que aparezcan de forma ordenada.
Antes de nada, en tu código hay varias cosas raras, como por ejemplo que estás haciendo len(T6.num) y T6.num es una función por lo tanto te va a dar error. O que en el if te sobra un paréntesis...
Para poder hacer lo que pides puedes incluir la variable en el return. Te pongo un ejemplo:
T6.py
def num():
    numeros_desordenados = (4, 3, 6, 1, 2, 8, 5, 7, 9, 10)
    return sorted(numeros_desordenados)

Importar.py
import T6

print(T6.num())

Si no quieres que tu función devuelva eso, también puedes declararla como variable global:
T6.py
def num():
    global numeros_desordenados
    numeros_desordenados = (4, 3, 6, 1, 2, 8, 5, 7, 9, 10)

Importar.py
import T6

print(sorted(T6.numeros_desordenados))

De esta manera llamas directamente a la variable.

Asking for your prayers...
Jose Fernando at the Angel Tree Project Christmas Party last year
Dear ProNiño family and friends--
We have received word that one of the children at the foundation—Jose Fernando—was hospitalized recently for acute kidney failure. Fernando lives at Amor y Paz on the Las Flores campus. He is now out of the hospital and is recovering rapidly, with continued medication and a prescribed special diet. We appreciate and ask for your thoughts and prayers as Jose Fernando continues in the recovery process.
2015 Angel Tree Project Video
We wanted to share the 2015 Angel Tree Project video with you all in case you didn't catch our Facebook post earlier. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Angel Tree Project, here's a quick breakdown:
The project was started 5 years ago by volunteer and fundraising all-star, Tabitha Lazenby to ensure that every ProNiño child had a present to open on Christmas
Similar to Angel Tree Projects in our local communities, Tabitha gathered volunteers and donors to put together a backpack for each child at the foundation, filled with gifts, sweets, toiletries and other necessities
This year ProNiño USA partnered with the Angel Tree Project to expand our fundraising capabilities and together we raised enough money to cover the costs of a trip to the Joya Grande Zoo for all of the children as well as a huge party at the Railroad Museum to celebrate the holiday and open their backpacks
Interested in giving next year? Check back in November to learn more about participating in this amazing fundraiser! You can also learn more about monthly giving and supporting our cause year-round below! Enjoy the video :)
A TRIP BACK AFTER SEVEN YEARS
ProNiño USA President, Katrina Parkinson, spending time with some of the boys living at the Las Flores center with teacher and ProNiño graduate, Luis Reyes
A FEW WEEKS AGO, four of our PNUSA board members spent nearly a week at ProNiño visiting the kids at all of the centers, as well as meeting with staff and Honduran board members.
Being new to the board this year and not having personally visited ProNiño in seven years, it was truly amazing for me to see all of the improvements that have taken place over the years! This includes the addition of three new housing sites, all of which are housed according to age, structured on-site schooling taught by three professional teachers, a two-year vocational training program for the oldest boys residing at Grandes Heroes, and an expanded agriculture program just to name a few. However, even more amazing was being able to see many of the same boys all grown up seven years later.
inspiration for this holiday season
At the onset of this year's Annual Christmas Fundraiser, I had the opportunity to chat more with Tabitha Lazenby, the original coordinator of Project Angel Tree, with whom ProNiño USA has partnered this holiday season. Much of what we needed to accomplish involved discussing the more mundane but no less important aspects of a fundraiser—budgets, logistics, planning, etc., but as our conversation went on, it became more and more clear to me that the stories and details of this project must be shared and celebrated, as the work of the Angel Tree coordinators and volunteers is truly amazing.
After her initial visit to ProNiño with a fellow Delta flight attendant and former Board member Laura Long, Tabitha started her Angel Tree Project to ensure that the children of ProNiño had gifts to open and a reason to celebrate at Christmastime. Much like traditional local Angel Tree programs during the holidays, Tabitha gathers wish lists, clothing and shoe sizes, and other basic information on each of the ProNiño children and reaches out to her local community to find sponsors. Each sponsor purchases the items on their Angel's list and fills a school backpack full of these Christmas goodies for the children to open at Christmastime. Year after year Tabitha and her fellow collaborators have found sponsors for every child residing in the ProNiño centers, many of whom have never even travelled to ProNiño or Honduras before.
Back to School Fundraiser Success
We wanted to share some photos of the boys in their spiffy new school uniforms and thank all of those who donated to this year's first ever Back to School Fundraiser! Keep an eye out for more information on our upcoming Annual Christmas Fundraiser in the next several days!
New Fundación proNino director
New PNH Director Ramiro (center) with the boys on the ProNiño soccer field
We are very excited to share a bit more on the new Director of Fundación ProNiño Honduras, who has shown in the last couple of months just how wonderful an addition to the ProNiño family he will be. Ramiro lives with his wife and 13 year-old son in Santa Rita, a city just south of El Progreso, where the ProNiño centers are located. On directing the ProNiño Honduras (PNH) program and working with ProNiño USA, Ramiro shares, "I would like to earn PNUSA confidence, work with transparency, have a honest communication and with professionalism. I have several project[s] going around in my mind, [and] I want to express those projects as soon as I can, [as] my goal is [for] PNH to be self sustained in a close future." We are so grateful to have him on board and we look forward to sharing more with you all as we learn of new projects and developments at the centers!
Final chapter, justice prevails: A letter from the pnusa board
Reverend Joseph Maurizio, Jr. of Johnstown, PA , previously charged with 8 counts of sexual molestation of minors and possession of child pornography, was convicted on 5 counts by the US. District Court, Johnstown, PA.
Maurizio traveled to ProNiño between years 2000 to 2009 under the guise of promoting charitable work for the ProNiño organization. When allegations about sexual activity surfaced in 2009, ProNiño USA took immediate action to ban Maurizio from the ProNiño property and swiftly pursued justice by contacting and cooperating with the FBI and later with the United States Department of Homeland Security. In 2014, Maurizio was jailed where he remained without bond until the trial. ProNiño USA worked tirelessly to bring charges and a conviction against the accused. On September 22, 2015, the guilty verdict was announced, justice prevailed, and this sad, devastating chapter in the ProNiño history has ended.
It is with heartfelt emotions and boundless appreciation that ProNiño USA gives thanks for our courageous board members and on-site employee who waged a battle of immense, lengthy proportions to protect the rights and welfare of our boys. PNUSA moves forward committed to protecting the rights of not only the ProNiño boys but also children worldwide. The Honduran Fundación ProNiño Board and the ProNiño staff have taken actions to secure their property and thoroughly screen and supervise volunteers so that no similar action nor any improper behavior will ever occur in their facility again. We continue to educate, safeguard and counsel our boys.
ProNiño USA Board of Directors
pnusa back to school fundraiser
Each year Fundación ProNiño faces the financial burden of purchasing school uniforms for the boys and girls that reside at the centers. In Honduras most every school has some type of uniform—including uniform shirts and pants, boxers, t-shirts, belts, socks, and physical education uniforms—and for the nearly 100 children at ProNiño things can add up pretty quickly! For the month of September we will be hosting a Back to School Fundraiser to alleviate Fundación ProNiño of this financial burden and cover the costs of purchasing uniforms for the kids. We've set a fundraising goal of $6,900, and we are hoping for your donation of $35 or more to cover the cost of one full school uniform set. To learn more about this fundraiser you can go to the Back to School Fundraiser page here, and click the button below to Donate Now! We appreciate all of your support with this fundraiser and we hope to meet our goal by the end of the month!
Former Pronino Child makes big splash in honduras!
ProNiño graduate Cristian Manzanares
This past Saturday night, an alumni of the Foundation Proniño Centers became a local hero here in the Lake Yojoa area of Honduras.
Cristian Manzanares who graduated over 3 years ago successfully from our program after being in the foundation more than 10 years, saved a man's life. Not just any man, a Honduran Congressman named Gerardo Martínez, the representative from the department of Comayagua!
The congressman went out on a Waverunner at around 4pm from Honduyate, a marina and hotel where Cristian is currently employed at Lake Yojoa. At 8pm Cristian was called back to work and sent in a small boat with another employee to search the lake—at night—for any sign of the congressman.
Cristian, his wife & new baby
At 11pm I went over to the marina and was more than a little worried since now we had a missing congressman and a missing boat with two employees—one of them being Cristian. We debated sending another boat out but it was pitch dark, and there were no vessel assists options (we're in Honduras, ok?), so we waited.
By this time the president, Juan Orlando, had been contacted and an arsenal of first responders showed up—albeit with no boat or option to look for him. Firemen, military police, and COPECO (emergency disaster services) were all standing around in the marina at Honduyate not knowing what to do.
A little after midnight the two employees along with one scared, cold and wet congressman, came back in the marina to many cheers! In Cristian's own words he describes how they found him:
"We found the Waverunner first so we assumed he had to be close by. We searched along the marsh but couldn't see anything for hours. We finally heard him calling out to us on one of our passes. The boat couldn't enter the marsh where the congressman was trapped floating (think swamp grass) so I took off my shirt and jumped in the water, jeans and all. I swam through the grass, grabbed the congressman and told him it was going to be ok. I tied 2 life jackets to support his weight, tied him with a rope and pulled him back to the boat behind me. The other employee and I lifted him out and brought him back to the marina."
Congressman Gerardo Martínez
Its an amazing story, we are incredibly proud of this young man. This story goes a long way to prove at Proniño we take children from the street, broken homes, horrific situations, and give them a chance at a dignified life. Cristian has a long and sad story from before his days at Proniño—he was literally sold twice by his own mother as a baby—his grandmother each time going to recover him. Proniño provided this child, well man now, the tools he needed to get an education, grow up in a home-like setting, and go out and start a life on his own. Cristian is fully employed, married to a very sweet girl, and has an even sweeter five-month-old baby.
Thank you for reading and thanks Cristian for being such an honorable man and example of the good this foundation can do!
Story written by Kevin Cestra, ProNiño USA Sponsorship Coordinator & On-the-Ground Liaison
A new addition to the pronino family
Meet Jairo, our newest family member at Fundación Proniño! He's from Lempira, Honduras, and he's 12 years old. Our Sponsorship Coordinator, Kevin Cestra, asked him why he was at Proniño and he answered "because I have no family." Kevin's response: "You have a family now, a big family of brothers, sisters, tios and tías, and we'll take care of you." He smiled and let Kevin take the picture on the right.
We are looking for someone who would like to sponsor Jairo! This is an incredible opportunity to make a difference in this child's life with a relatively small but important financial contribution.
We always say without our Sponsorship Program we would not be the organization we are today and it's true! We could not be more grateful for our sponsors. For just $35/month or $420/year, our sponsors help cover the cost of education, clothing, food and medical needs for these children. Our updated and newly integrated payment platform allows new sponsors to choose which plan option is right for them: monthly or annual subscriptions, online or via mail.
Most importantly, at ProNiño USA we are proud to say that your contributions are going straight to meeting the needs of these kids. It's certainly one of the beautiful things of being a nearly 100% volunteer-run, smaller non-profit organization. Click on the link below to learn more about our Sponsorship Program and let's get Jairo sponsored!
sponsor jairo today!

shRNA targeting α-synuclein prevents neurodegeneration in a Parkinson's disease model
Alevtina D. Zharikov, … , J. Timothy Greenamyre, Edward A. Burton
Research Article Neuroscience
Multiple convergent lines of evidence implicate both α-synuclein (encoded by SCNA) and mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD). Occupational exposure to the mitochondrial complex I inhibitor rotenone increases PD risk; rotenone-exposed rats show systemic mitochondrial defects but develop specific neuropathology, including α-synuclein aggregation and degeneration of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons. Here, we inhibited expression of endogenous α-synuclein in the adult rat substantia nigra by adeno-associated virus–mediated delivery of a short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting the endogenous rat Snca transcript. Knockdown of α-synuclein by ~35% did not affect motor function or cause degeneration of nigral dopaminergic neurons in control rats. However, in rotenone-exposed rats, progressive motor deficits were substantially attenuated contralateral to α-synuclein knockdown. Correspondingly, rotenone-induced degeneration of nigral dopaminergic neurons, their dendrites, and their striatal terminals was decreased ipsilateral to α-synuclein knockdown. These data show that α-synuclein knockdown is neuroprotective in the rotenone model of PD and indicate that endogenous α-synuclein contributes to the specific vulnerability of dopaminergic neurons to systemic mitochondrial inhibition. Our findings are consistent with a model in which genetic variants influencing α-synuclein expression modulate cellular susceptibility to environmental exposures in PD patients. shRNA targeting the SNCA transcript should be further evaluated as a possible neuroprotective therapy in PD.

Q: MongoDB query through php driver returns no resutls So I have a php script on a web server listening for mongoDB queries via a JSON object POST with another page building and sending queries to the php service. All my standard queries such as :
{"field1":"2342342","field2":"234234"} are sent and return the correct resutls.
However, when I try to send a query that includes a range of values it returns nothing.
{"field2":"1234","date" : {$gte : "2013-02-11"},"date" : {$lte : "2013-02-11"}}

I can go into the command line and call:
db.collection.find({"field2":"1234","date" : {$gte : "2013-02-11"},"date" : {$lte : "2013-02-11"}} )

which returns the results as expected. Obviously there is something going on that I do not fully understand.
PHP command doing the search:
$c_collection->find(json_decode($request));

Any help would be much appreciated.

A: You are attempting to search the database using a duplicate element name.  MongoDb would issue an error such as this while performing this search:
Duplicate element name 'date'.

You need to place your range within the same block.  For example:
{
    'date': {
        $gte:"datehere",
        $lte:"datehere"
    }
}

In PHP:
$criteria = array('date' => array('$gte' => 'datehere', '$lte' => 'datehere'));

Then use that json as your criteria.
Also, why are you decoding the criteria before passing it to the database?  The method can accept an array just fine.

Much has been written on Israel's decision not to allow entry to Left-wing linguist Noam Chomsky today, and I guess even more will be written. Form the official Israeli response, it is not clear who made the decision in this case – a top government official or a low level bureaucrat – and it seems that Chomsky might still be permitted to enter the West Bank, once some people will realize the PR damage to what's left of the reputation of the only democracy in the Middle East. But that's not the important issue here.
According to Chomsky, what bothered Israeli officials at the Allenby crossing was not only his views, but the fact that he intends to visit the West Bank, and not Israel. Later it was said that the IDF authority might end up granting him a visa. But whatever way this affair ends, it is clear that Chomsky made a better case against Israel today than in anything he said or wrote. He practically proved that the Palestinians are far from being autonomous, and that the West Bank is in reality under siege, with Israel dictating who and what might leave or enter.
When the Spanish clown Ivan Pedro was denied entry by the Shin Beit into the West Bank, some people tried to make a national security case out of it, claiming Pedro refused to submit information regarding his contacts in the West Bank. I hope nobody is planning the same line with the Chomsky. Israel simply decided not to let him in because he is pro-Palestinian, like it does every day to many others. The only difference is that in those cases nobody alerts Reuters.
There is no arguing that Israel is now viewing certain ideas, not just actions, as existential threat, and is willing to make use of its powers in order to suppress them. It is important to understand this point: Some people think that the state made a stupid mistake today, when it chose to refuse Chomsky a visa. But That's only true if you judge the affair in terms of actual security – then you conclude that making such a fuss over a speech in Ramallah by an aging linguistic that no one would even notice is pure madness. But if you are obsessed with the persecution of "dangerous ideas" and constantly searching for ideological menaces, then Chomsky is a threat. In this context, not allowing him to enter your country might be logical and even legal – again, if you consider Israel's control of all entrances to the West bank legal – but it is also scary is hell.
The Israelis need to learn the definition of democracy. A totalitarian democracy is not a democracy and Israel is a theocracy, just like Iran is! The only difference is that Israel executes people with bombs and bullets in mass instead of ropes and hoists. By comparison, Israel makes Iran look like a bunch of angels!
Of course that's total nonsense. The Palestinian population in the West Bank and Gaza between 1948 and 2005 increased 6 fold – evidence of either the most inept attempt at Genocide ever, or, uhm… no Genocide at all. But still – if you convince people that Israelis are Nazis, then there's only one thing to do! Organize Partisan units, run to the forests, and kill as many Nazis as you can! No more marching like sheep into the uhm… non existent gas chambers! You don't negotiate with Nazis! As Malik Ali has stated many times at UCSD and UCI, you don't sit for tea and crumpets with Nazis! You physically annihilate them! So yeah, forget Prado the "world famous" Spanish Galician Clown.
As for Chomsky, it looks like his denial of entry was a bureaucratic snafu. The reasons you offered for his denial were not official and came from him, not the Ministry of the Interior. Furthermore, all indications are that this might very well be remedied today and Bir Zeit University will get their Jew.
And that's a good thing. Israel has nothing to fear from Old Man Chomsky. He's like a living, breathing anachronism, a modern day manifestation of that time when radical chic was the flavor of the moment for the limousine liberal set. They happily wrote checks for the Red Brigades and the Baader Meinhoff gang, they railed against the injustices of Western Hegemony but God forbid they should ever sell their fancy shmancy homes in Lexington and donate the proceeds to humanitarian aid. Western colonialism is a cancer on the world, but gosh darn, it is soooo comfy!
I am opposed to Chomsky's denial of entry into Israel and if he gets in, I am going to have to try and shlepp into Ramallah again to hear him speak. He's a great linguist but a terrible political theoretician. I know this because I've heard him speak and read his writings. I wouldn't want to deny anyone that privilege and I am pretty sure that Israel can handle having him here.
But please don't try to paint this as some sort of massive police state thing, where dissent is suppressed routinely and thoughtlessly. Given the situation, Israel's security apparatus has acted with great restraint.
Finally, the PA has a certain measure of autonomy, but they are not sovereign. That's why Israel controls the borders. I look forward to final status talks and a negotiated and peaceful settlement as per SC242.
If Israel refused Chomsky entry because of his past declarations, you are proving my point, that it is an ideological refusal. I find it extremely worrying, especially when it comes next to so many other cases. Remember that this country is trying to make mentioning the Nakba illegal and talking about Apartheid just as bad. When you forbid ideas, it doesn't stop in the border, nor with Arab citizens. BTW, I would have had Holocausts deniers enter Israel. I actually think it will be harder for them here than in any other place.
If it was a low level decision that prevented him from entering its even worse, because it shows how further down the system these undemocratic behaviors goes.
I read your post, btw. Your argument about everything you have trouble explaining here remains the same: "I don't support it, but…" "it's probably a mistake…", "it's a bad move, from the right intentions" it's not that smart… etc. You not only refuse to assume responsibility as a writer (because you hold both ends at once, thus making it impossible to criticize you. You are both for having Chomsky enter and against it), but you also fail to see things as a system. This goes from entrance policy to the whole settlement issue, which just another mistake for you. You fail to see the nature what's happening, and the toll it's taking on the Israeli society, so you conclude it's the Palestinian responsibility to make the necessary steps that will allow us out of the WB and except for that small business, it's a picture perfect democracy. It is a legitimate way of facing reality – one that most Israelis will use – but I disagree with it.
One last remark – refusing Chomsky to talk because he might incite people and by then cause them to become a threat to national security – thus making him a security threat himself – is one argument you better not make, as it can be taken very far. I guess you can make the same case against this blog, BTW. The whole incitement offense is a bad path for a democracy to march on, so in most places, unless there is a specific call for action, the democratic tendency is not to do anything. Not to mention the fat that this whole "incitement" business is applied only on one side in Israel, even though the right has showed his capacity for violence. But I guess this is one of these "mistakes" again.
Noam, in the US, foreign Holocaust deniers are denied entry while citizens are free to deny whatever they like and march in Nazi uniforms. Under ordinary circumstances I am a staunch free speech advocate, but in times of war, do we really need to allow the enemy into our camp?
Prado (not Pedro – you'd think with such a world renowned clown you could at least get his name right) is a foreign agitator with nothing to add to any positive discourse. If the security services felt that they ought to deny him entry then so be it. It's not a free speech issue, it's a security issue. If it was based solely on speech, I'd have let him in.
That's why I don't mind Chomsky coming in, even though he has no absolute right to do so. It's clear the decision was a bureaucratic snafu as opposed to a systematic suppression of ideas. The extreme left in this country is more a victim of apathy than it is of some concerted systematic plan by the authorities to shut it down. No one's buying what you're selling. But do by all means feel free to keep selling it!
Sorry man, I'd chat some more but I have to run to Hebrew U. and check out the anti-homophobia day events there.
CK: I wonder what would you consider "real alarm".

Ovechkin: "I don't feel that power…"
By NBC SportsApr 16, 2010, 2:50 PM EDT
Following up on our story this morning on Alex Ovechkin's struggles last night against Montreal, there was no question his 'off game' would be brought up today by the media in Washington. And you have to hand it to him, he's owned up to exactly what everyone noticed, saying today to what was likely a horde of media attention:
"I don't know why, but last game, I don't feel that power or something. I talked to Bruce, and how I said, I didn't play my game at all last night. It's not about Montreal. It's all about me."
Tarik El-Bashir of the Capitals Insider notes that the Canadiens certainly deserve credit for shutting him down. The Habs played him perfectly, as Bruce Boudreau noted today, but it's not like this is the first team that have ever used a trap system to try and stop him.
We can't discredit the Canadiens on this, but there's no denying that Ovechkin has not been himself lately. He needs to get back to having fun, to being the free-wheeling player that has been successful for so long. Is he gunshy after all the criticism he received after his hit on Brian Campbell (including here on Pro Hockey Talk)? Boudreau acknowledges that if Ovechkin is playing his game, then it doesn't matter what the other team does:
"The deal is when he's on top of his game it doesn't matter how they are playing against him," Boudreau said. "That's the way we've looked at it for the two and half years I've been here, and that's why we don't try to get him away from matchups. Because if he's on top of his game, it doesn't matter who he's playing against."
Here's Ovechkin talking to the media, courtesy of the the Washington Capitals:
