Q: Using Browserfield.displayContent with  that has an external url I am trying to create a screen for a blackberry 5.0+ app that has a banner at the top and then a Browserfield underneath that views an external site. The banner is hosted on one site and the content for the BrowserField is hosted on another.
Originally I tried using 2 BrowserFields but had issues when several devices did not display the banner and only showed the content underneath. Furthermore when another screen with the same setup was displayed the app would crash with an IllegalStateException. I did a bit of research and it seems that BrowserField seems to have some trouble when several instances of it exist at once.
So in order to get around this issue I have combined both BrowserFields into one, using the frame tag in html, with the hopes of displaying the Banner ad in the first frame and the content underneath in the second frame.
The html I made works in a normal browser:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
      <frameset rows="10%,90%">
             <frame scrolling="no" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CZ1HhhanNgc/TI0xscVLW8I/AAAAAAAABps/sfeO4E3234k/s1600/head-mp-700x88.jpg" noresize="noresize" frameborder="0">
              <frame src="http://www.penny-arcade.com"  frameborder="0">
      </frameset>
</html>

What I am doing is reading the html in as text, removing the \n and \rs and then putting it in the following method: browserField.displayContent(html,"http://localhost");
This method is supposed to display the html in the browser, but instead on the simulator I get this:

On the device I get a blank screen. I don't know whats going on with the displayContent() method, so I would assume that it doesn't allow external sites? I don't really know what my options are from this point on. Is there some kind of fix for this, some library that I can use or some other way to implement this?

Edit:
So @Nate suggested a change to the DOCTYPE tag, and posted a screenshot of the html working. However I did this and I still get the same results, so I am going to post the code I'm using to make the screen. Here it is:
public final class MyScreen extends MainScreen
{
   /**
    * Creates a new MyScreen object
    */
   private BrowserField browserField;
   public MyScreen()
   {
        // Set the displayed title of the screen
        setTitle("MyTitle");
        BrowserFieldConfig config = new BrowserFieldConfig();
    config.setProperty(BrowserFieldConfig.VIEWPORT_WIDTH, new   Integer(Display.getWidth()));
        config.setProperty(BrowserFieldConfig.NAVIGATION_MODE,
    BrowserFieldConfig.NAVIGATION_MODE_POINTER);

    config.setProperty(BrowserFieldConfig.INITIAL_SCALE, new Float(1.0));

    config.setProperty(BrowserFieldConfig.USER_SCALABLE, Boolean.FALSE);

    //supposed to prevent InvalidStateException from refreshing sometimes
    ProtocolController eventsProtocolController = new ProtocolController(browserField)
    {
      public void handleNavigationRequest(BrowserFieldRequest request) throws Exception
      {
        browserField.setFocus();
        super.handleNavigationRequest(request);
      }
   };

   config.setProperty(BrowserFieldConfig.CONTROLLER, eventsProtocolController);
   browserField = new BrowserField(config);

   try
   {
      String embeddedLinkFrame = readTextFile("frame.html");
      browserField.displayContent(embeddedLinkFrame, "http://localhost");
   }
   catch (Exception e)
   {
      System.out.println(e.getMessage());
   }
   add(browserField);
   }

   public String readTextFile(String fName)
   {
     String result = null;

     DataInputStream is = null;
     try
         {
      is = new DataInputStream(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/" + fName));
               byte[] data = IOUtilities.streamToBytes(is);
       result = new String(data);
     }
     catch (IOException e)
     {
           System.out.println(e.getMessage());
     }
     finally
         {
      try
              {
          if (null != is)
                      is.close();

       }
               catch (IOException e)
               {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
       }
     }
      return result;
 }
 }

A: Ok, my apologies for the first answer.  I think DOCTYPE was a red herring (but I didn't have your Java code at the time).
I see a few potential problems:
Network Connectivity
First, as is always the case, make sure you have network connectivity for your device, or simulator.  That may include the MDS simulator running.  You can always test connectivity with the normal Browser app, checking a website you know to be running.  I believe that if you have a total lack of connectivity (i.e. network disabled), then you will get your frames showing just the text / URLs.  However, I believe it will also have something like this:

Could not select proper Transport Descriptor for: http://www.penny-arcade.com

instead of showing null, as you show.
Adding BrowserField
Next, I think there is a problem with you asking the browser field to display content before you've added the field.  Simply switch the order of those two lines of code to this:
   add(browserField);

   try
   {
      String embeddedLinkFrame = readTextFile("frame.html");
      browserField.displayContent(embeddedLinkFrame, "http://localhost");
   }
   catch (Exception e)
   {
      System.out.println(e.getMessage());
   }

I believe the behaviour if you have these lines out of order, however, is just to get a blank browser field.
Viewport Properties
Lastly, I would not recommend setting page properties programmatically, as you've done.  Although this is not going to keep your page from displaying, I'd recommend putting those properties in HTML meta elements:
<head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
</head>

Source: BlackBerry.com

Update: Protocol Controller
Unfortunately, my simulator is acting up, and declining to support hot-swap right now.  So, it's hard for me to run many times, and collect decisive results.  But, it looks to me like removing your ProtocolController object prevents this problem from happening for me.  (maybe you can clarify why you're using the protocol controller in this situation?).  If this answer was a motivation, you might look carefully at the poster's full comments about it's usefulness.

Most of us will never experience life behind bars, but it's hard to not wonder what it would be like. One visit to the Colorado Prison Museum in Canon City and you can get a pretty good idea of what prison feels like - and you don't even have to commit a crime. The museum is housed in what formerly was the Women's Prison Building.
The exhibits cover 140 years of prison history. Each of the inmate cells on the upper level tells the story of some phase of life behind bars. Exhibits depict living and working conditions, punishments, and the lives of inmates and guards at the prison.
This is one prison you can go to without committing a crime - and you can check out any time you please. Check out the gas chamber.
Winter visiting hours are Wednesday-Sunday, 10am-5pm, and in the summertime, the hours are 10am-6pm Monday - Sunday. Admission is $8 for adults and $6 for kids 6-12. You're asked to allow at least one hour to explore the museum.
You'll find the Colorado Prison Museum just as you enter Canon City from the west on Highway 50.


Note: This will not be a long march, a dharna or a protest. This will be the beginning of a revolution. Minar-e-Pakistan will become the Tahrir Square of Pakistan, the symbol of change. This will inshAllah be the long expected change the Pakistani nation is waiting for, a change from its roots. This will inshAllah be the beginning of a new era in the history of Pakistan. The target is to organize a gathering of 5 million people in front of Minar-e-Pakistan. Spread the message all over Pakistan and reach Minar-e-Pakistan on the 23rd December.
LAHORE – Minhaj-ul-Quran chief Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, while addressing Workers Conventions through video conferencing from Canada on Sunday, announced that he would return to Pakistan on December 23.
The Minhaj-ul-Quran organised conventions in 100 countries of the world and more than 25 Tehsils of the country, including the main ceremony at Central Secretariat in Model Town.
He said that it was wrong to describe the prevalent system as democracy, for democracy denoted exercise of rationality and free choice, while the people of Pakistan were forced to vote along tribal, ethnic and linguistic lines contrary to the spirit of democracy.
The Minhaj-ul-Quran chief said that the profane moviemakers were the worst enemies of humanity and global peace. He asked if the prime minister of Pakistan could be sent home for contempt of court, why the government was silent and not knocking the doors of the International Court of Justice.
Qadri highlighted the need for legislation at the UN level to preclude any possibility of such despicable occurrences. He also urged the Muslim countries to frame a joint policy on the issue.
So he wants to be the new khomeni?
Sorry but no "IMPORTED" revolutions here. If you know what I mean.
In Pakistan's yay or nay, the fate of other nations will be sealed. Insha Allah.
I'm no fan of tahir ul qadri either but he has a point. The present system of elections needs to go dude. It's worthless.
^^ I would go on to say that under present circumstances, elections are useless. I would rather have a Islamist and firecely patriotic military man who would purge, literally all the liberal scumbags in every part of our society and purse ruthlessly all those, regardless of colour, on global level, who are involved in hurting Pakistan and its people in last 60 odd years.
I have my reservation about this man, if he was a pan islamist, a patriot who would want too make Pakistan a global power, they wouldnt have tolerated him in west.
To change anything, one needs to win first - putting the cart before the horse wali baat!
And win with a majority that they can fudge with the constitution without opposition.
The First question is who would be this fierce patriotic military man who cleans up the whole country? We have seen military rule as well as the rule from these criminals. No doubt Pakistan had better times under the military rule compared to the political era. The military rule was only a short term solution and none of the generals not even Zia-ul-Haq or Ayub Khan who were Islamic and patriotic could clean up the country. The generals can´t and will not do it for Pakistan. That´s for sure. We should not rely on the generals to come forward and do the job for us. It is the Pakistani people who must take the step.
Coming to Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri. His only purpose in life is to prepare and educate the people of Pakistan to bring a peaceful Islamic revolution in Pakistan. He is working on it day and night since more than 30 years. He tried it through the political process but when he saw that it is only a waste of time he decided to cancel his seat in the National Assembly. Believe me he is a true patriot who wants to make Pakistan a global power. The difference between him and other scholars or politicians is that he had a clear vision and a plan right from the beginning.
Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri knows how to deal with the west. He is an intellectual and a wise person. He distinguishes himself from the rest of the maulvis who become emotional in critical times and calm down when the issue is over without presenting any solution to the problems. Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri gives solutions and this is what the west acknowledged. He always avoided a direct confrontation course because this would harm the greater purpose to bring an Islamic revolution in Pakistan. He revealed very little of his plans and this is the reason why he made it through to reach this stage.
You´ll see people will join in millions and the critics will be stunned. Revolution is near, It is now or never!
Not at all. khomeni seized power through a bloody revolution. Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri wants a peaceful revolution and is not power-hungry.
The 23rd of March is an important day in the history of Pakistan when seventy one years ago, the Muslims of the sub-continent gathered at the then Minto Park (now Minar-e-Pakistan) and charted a new course of action to achieve separate homeland under the inspiring leadership of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The day reminds us of the heroic sacrifices and contributions rendered by the Muslims to realize the dream of Allama Muhammad Iqbal.
Despite living together with Hindus for well over 800 years, the Muslims could not amalgamate into the native composite culture and civilization. They kept their cultural identity, religious values and civilizational ethos intact and distinct from those of other communities that inhabited in Hindustan in spite of various efforts to impose a uniform culture and code of life. They also resented the efforts of the British government to treat the Indian political and constitutional problem under the ideal of Westminster democracy. Their quest for seeking separate electorate and other Muslim-specific concessions from the ruling British also bespoke of their innate desire to be treated as a nation.
The insistence of Congress on the application of Westminster democracy, where majority rules the roost, was an attempt at stifling the Muslims' identity and assimilating them into larger Indian whole. The Nehru Report, which turned a blind eye to the existence of the Muslims and tended to project the notion of joint Nationalism, was a watershed, which made Muslims realize the gravity of challenge they were up against. It was at this stage that Allama Dr Muhmmad Iqbal, sage and philosopher of the East, vented out their pent-up desires and emotions and came up with the idea of a separate homeland for the Muslims after studying the Indian problem from the prism of history, geography, religion and politics. The treatment meted out to the Muslims at the hands of the ruling Congress between 1937 and 1939 only confirmed the efficacy of Iqbal's thoughts and genuineness of the Muslims' demand for being treated as equal to the Hindus. This provides the historical background for the passage of Resolution for Pakistan on March 23, 1940.
This day demands of us to do much-needed introspection and identify whether Pakistan of today represents the ideals which characterized the freedom struggle. An objective appraisal reveals that we have drifted far beyond from the vision of our founding fathers who wanted to make Pakistan a truly modern, moderate, democratic and welfare Islamic state where all citizens could live peacefully, enjoy equality before law, equal access to opportunities in accordance with the principles of social justice and equity propounded by Islam.
The flood of challenges Pakistan is mired in suggests that we have put the idea of Pakistan at the backburner. In the absence of strong nationalism, various sub-national identities on the basis of ethnicity, sectarianism, and provincialism have emerged to fill in the vacuum. The cropping up of forces of terrorism and extremism also owes itself to absence of a unifying idea which could bind diverse elements into a national power. We cannot succeed unless we search for our moorings and values.
Minhaj-ul-Quran International is striving to attain the goal for which Pakistan was achieved. It has launched a worldwide campaign against the forces of terrorism and extremism that are bent on bringing Pakistan and Islam into disrepute and embarrassment. On this auspicious day, let us pledge not to rest unless we achieve the goal of making Pakistan a truly democratic, Islamic welfare state as envisioned by Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Allama Dr Muhammad Iqbal. I extend my felicitation to people of Pakistan on this day.
Well, I might not be very fond of Dr. sb but the problem with not only him but all religious parties is that they don't have any vision. They only know how to manipulate people with what people like to hear. They have proved to demagogues nothing more. I feel the same problem with Imran Khan as well based on his recent performances. Both of them say we will make Pakistan "Quaid ka Pakistan" or "Allama Iqbal ka Pakistan" but they don't know how it will be done. Zaid Hamid belongs to the same category. Religious parties will just say we will implement Islamic system in Pakistan and it will cure everything and when you say that it will not solve all of Pakistan's problems, what about other problems, they will say oh this guy is not a muslim. That is what I have felt so far. You guys might disagree but this is the fact. I have seen his videos that put a big question mark on what he does and how he does it. Sorry but no offense intended. This is just my personal opinion.
Maybe my personal bias against Dr Tahir ul Qadri is preventing me from getting excited but lets hope whatever happens makes Pakistan a better and stronger more prosperous place.
Ayub Khan wasnt Islamist, Zia was but unforunately for Zia, he was engulfed in disputes on both side of border with india and USSR.
People have different prespectives, personally I feel that time for leaders who make compromises just to appease other nations is long gone. We need someone who can tell the "world", either our way or highway. Our people are being cut to sizes in hundreds each day, yet our leaders or the ones who are aiming to be one, still look in the shades of black and grey.
I'm not sure about this guy anymore. Not since minhaj ul Quran said something positive about coalition forces on thier website.
They did??? What did they say?
The Pakistani people must and have to realize, that Pakistan needs a revolution.
poor average hard working Pakistanis are seen as third class citizens and suppressed politically, socially and financially!
It's all about beraa-pan - showing off and showing muscles to create fear among others.
ie. shahbaz sharif's daughter was in a bakery; she talked bad to the worker in the bakery.
Later on the day the elite security officers came along with some son-in-law or familymember related to shabaz sharif/nawaz sharif. The result was; that familymember beated the worker from the bakery where the other elite security officers beated him as well.
There is no clear story about the argue which occured in the bakery, but sending a elite force which protects only "elite"-groups and beats the crap out of labour force workers, then surely Pakistan needs a revolution!!
I've heard the same. it is said that in the fatwa against suicidal attacks, the attacks on the coalitions forces aren't allowed because they've come as guests in the country (Afghanistan) where there are a lot of Muslims. Therefore they must not be touched. I have to admit and state eventhough i haven't seen or read the fatwa which has been published, but been told by others who've critical reviews about the fatwa.
I've seen pictures of xe-agents protecting him when he was in mumbai.
There are rumours he met them as well.
Taken from their own website, a UK spokesman for the organisation said "minhaj ul quran pays tribute to the dead british soldiers."
just access that link and search for the word tribute.
No matter how educated, how pious, i can't stand with someone who makes such statements.
Ok this is your personal opinion. I agree with you to some extent. Most of the religious parties really have no vision and no plan how to implement things. Religious parties got some chances in the past to prove their critics wrong and much to my regret they failed to deliver. But that does not mean that you put every religious party or everyone with an Islamic viewpoint into one category. Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri had a plan before announcing the revolution, which strategy to apply and how to implement it and also has a post-revolution plan. He revealed some points in talk shows and inshAllah he is going to reveal everything in front of the Pakistani crowd on the 23rd December. Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri is an intellectual who is not only a renowned Islamic scholar but also a lawyer who fought important cases for Pakistan and the Muslims.
Ayub Khan was a true patriot. Pakistan had a good time under his rule. You are right Zia-ul-Haq had a very tough time with hostilities on both side of the borders. The current general is facing hostilities with even higher intensity from external (eastern and western borders) as well as internal forces (government, TTP, BLA, foreign agencies, media, etc.). I agree with you we need a leader who makes no more compromises but you can´t do anything if you are weak. The GoP ruined this country. The current situation is hurting every one of us and we simply can´t do anything unless the people of Pakistan say enough is enough. The Pakistani nation voted these incompetent and corrupt leaders into power now it should be their turn to topple them peacefully.
Minhaj ul Quran is not supporting any invasion whether in Iraq, in Afghanistan in Palestine or else where. Paying tribute to a dead British soldier does not make you a supporter of coalition forces. Even armies are paying respect to fallen enemy soldiers. Would someone call them traitors or supporters of the enemy army?
Relatives of some of the dead british soldiers are receiving their bodies in Wootton Bassett. Some extremist elements planned a march through this town for protesting against the british troops. They also could have planned it in any other town. Logically this sparked outrage amongst the British population. The statement was given to defuse some tensions between the Muslim community and the British population.
Suicide bombings are decleared haram not only by Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri but also by other scholars because it is killing innocent non-combatants. The fatwa is consisting of more than 500 pages and it includes verses from the Qur´an, Ahadith of Holy Prophet SAW and opinions of leading jurists from different school of thoughts.
Let me correct you the persons which you have seen on the pictures protecting Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri on his tour to india were NOT xe-agents like some are claiming but a close protection team from a private security company based in mumbai, india. I also know the name of the close protector.
I havent seen Ayub Khan period, correct me if I am wrong, But the information i have that he was a against urdu speaking citizens of Pakistan and his decision to move capital away from karachi and his treatment of Fatima Jinnah , doesnt qualify him to be a patriot. Zia however, was a true patriot.
Zia ul Haq was a true Muslims and a true Patriot. He is unparalleled in Pakistani history.
Its too bad he died in that plane crash.
May he Insh'Allah go to Jannah.
Pakistan had a rising rate of economic growth under Ayub Khan era and a flourishing industry which was also known as the 'Green Revolution'. He fought against corruption and punished corrupt politicians. To move the capital away from Karachi to Islamabad was a political step. I think he was against Urdu speakers because they supported Fatima Jinnah over him.
I never knew that he treated the Mother of the nation Fatima Jinnah with disrespect and if it is true then it can´t be tolerated at all!
Pakistani Baba with Javed Ch - Voice of Every Sensible Pakistani Citizen..
Revolution under TUQ ? I dont think so. He might be a great religious scholar but is no statesman. He is usually surrounded by majority of his fans who even dress as he does and even speak as he does. There is way too much personality cult in the Minhaj organization.
But lets see what happens - anything annoying the current government is welcome.
"Everyone, except those who are ignorant, knows that the Quran is the general code of the Muslims. A religious, social, civil, commercial, military, judicial, criminal, penal code, it regulates everything from the ceremonies of religion to those of daily life; from the salvation of the soul to the health of the body; from the rights of all to those of each individual; from morality to crime, from punishment here to that in the life to come, and our Prophet has enjoined on us that every Musalman should possess a copy of the Quran and be his own priest. Therefore Islam is not merely confined to the spiritual tenets and doctrines or rituals and ceremonies. It is a complete code regulating the whole Muslim society, every department of life, collective[ly] and individually."
- Jinnah , Eid message in September 1945.
He called upon the mammoth Lahore audience to build up "Pakistan as a bulwark of Islam", to "live up to your traditions and add to it another chapter of glory", adding, "If we take our inspiration and guidance from the Holy Quran, the final victory, I once again say, will be ours"
-Jinnah , (30 October 1947).
Just in time for the good old Perennialist-Padri to enjoy a very Merry Christmas and elucidate the joys of Salvific Pluralism and Wahdat al-Adyan over a few mince pies.
Sorry bro I don´t know the name of the security company but this white-western guy is from South Africa and his name is also known. He settled down in India some years back and is married to an Indian woman. A cia agent wouldn´t uncover his identity. I met an Indian Muslim brother in London who was in the company of Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri during his tour to india. He assured that his close protection team has nothing to do with the likes of xe or blackwater.
This will become a brelvi vs. deobandi thing:P...just watch.
Tahir Ul qadri,i respect his knowledge but He comes off as a bit egoistic to me. Also,I agree he is a bit of an appeaser.
BUT, considering where we stand,Id support anyone who is half as bad as Zardari and Sharif...hence my support for PTI...lets see what Qaudri saab can conjure.
Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri is not a Brelvi. He respects Ahmad Raza Khan but considers himself to Ahl-e-Sunnah wal Jammat. I hope it won´t turn into any sectarian clash.
He is not working for any personal gains or benefits. All his efforts are only for Pakistan and the Muslim Ummah. That's why he comes forward to bring a change from the bottom.
dude wat r u talikig abt, revolution?? Europeans came up with socialism, communism, fascism, capitalism etc. Muslims came up with nothing. Pakistan's political system is western based mixed with Islamic base. Wat?
Slogan of 'Islam is the best' does not cut it. Its a reaction to western and modern development, but Muslims have not done much thinking, have not developed dynamic philosophies, systems, models, to implement as they use too.
Brother we (including me) must learn more about Islamic history. There are a lot of Muslims who contributed to mankind in the fields of science, astrology, mathematics, medical science and other fields. Unfortunately Muslims are living in a poor standard but we must not discourage ourselves and discredit the Muslim scientists whose works were also taught in European text books.
Islam is a complete code of life which also gives us the right systems and models. We must only implement them in the correct way. The reason why we are living in such miserable conditions nowadays is because we move ourselves away from Islamic principles. We are lying, misbehaving, we are corrupt and undisciplined, we are stealing the rights from the poor, we are harsh to others and doing other gross immoralities.
Instead the western world adopted our Islamic principles. They don´t believe in Islam but many of them are much better than a lot of Muslims. We only can do something good if we come back to Islam. The Ottoman Empire is a good example (Most of its period). Establishing an Islamic welfare state in Pakistan is also possible. After all it was the wish of our founding fathers. They firmly believed in it so should we do.
Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri has said that Iqbal's Pakistan is under serious threats both ideologically as well as territorially. He said that the country, which came into being on the basis of Allama Dr Muhammad Iqbal's thought, had been drifting from his message.
Addressing a seminar organized by Minhaj-ul-Quran Youth League to mark Allama Iqbal's birth anniversary, Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri said that political mafias held the future of this country hostage. He said that for last six decades, their hold on the national resources and decision-making processes had been getting stronger with the passage of time. He said that the system erected in the name of 'democracy' by the vested interests was ironically bereft of what this system actually stood for.
Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri said that given the complexity and plethora of challenges facing Pakistan, it was important to explore our ideological roots. He said that terrorism and extremism grew in the society because we put Iqbal's message on the backburner.
Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri asked youth and students to become true Eagles of Iqbal by dedicating themselves to nation building. He said that this was possible if they put their energies to productive use and acquired modern education. He said that a major chunk of Pakistan's population consisted of youth and the country's future was in their hands. He said that it was time that we saved the country and not politics.
Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri paid glowing tributes to Iqbal. He said that MQI espoused Iqbal's message and was struggling to put his dream into reality. He said that Iqbal's philosophy was still relevant and a beacon of light in these dark times. He said that Iqbal's was a towering personality who is born after centuries. The seminar was attended by a large number of youth and their students.


Gneiss is a medium to coarse-grained banded rock formed as a result of high grade regional metamorphism. It is characterised by a layered appearance caused by the segregation of ferromagnesian minerals from quartzo-feldspathic minerals in discontinuous layers. The ferromagnesian minerals are commonly biotite and/or hornblende with pyroxene being less common. Garnet is often present as an accessory mineral.
Augen gneiss is characterised by very coarse-grained eye-shaped lenticles of quartz and feldspar.


"Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible."
I'm also someone who avoids conflict whenever possible, so if I can lie to get out of a difficult conversation... Well, it's tempting.
But a few years ago when a lie of mine deeply hurt someone I loved, I knew I had some hard work ahead of me. I was ashamed of what I had done, of the piece of my life I'd had to work so hard to conceal. At the same time, I was writing Me, Just Different. And as Skylar learned about authenticity from her boyfriend's family, I was working on authenticity within me.
I decided I wanted to be the same person all the time, whether I was with my pastor or my coworkers. Whether I was with my husband or my girlfriends. And the first step toward that was getting rid of the lying.
This sounds a little cheesy, but to keep myself in line I pretended that at the end of the day, I would have to send a mass email to every person I'd ever met and tell them everything I'd done from the time I woke up to the time I went to bed. What I ate. Who I talked to. What kind of words I used. What I read. How much TV I watched. How long I was on Facebook versus how long I was working. And in my head, all that information would get sent to my husband, my mom, my pastor, the girl who lived in the apartment upstairs who I was currently witnessing to, my ex-friends, my boss, and so forth.
And oh boy, was I ever aware of every activity I did throughout the day.
Now. This exercise can be taken to a dangerous extreme, because ultimately the only opinion that matters is God's. If my sweet, well-meaning Grandmother disagrees with a decision I make, but God agrees with it, then sorry, Grandma. That's just the way things are going to be.
But I had reached a very scary place of duplicity where I knew God saw and disapproved of some choices I was making ... but so long as He was quiet, I could mentally blow off my bad decisions. Talk about scary.
I still have honesty problems sometimes. But I do a lot worse when I allow myself "little" lies. I find the temptation toward bigger ones grows and grows, just like C.S. Lewis was talking about. And then I have to put myself back in the mindset of sending out that scary mass email, of reminding myself that I'm working toward authenticity.
In the above quote, C.S. Lewis says, "That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance." What's a little decision you could make today that will move you closer to Christ?

What a great idea. It is so easy in my life to gloss over some of the smallest offenses. Thinking in terms of detailing the good bad and the ugly of everyday to everyone I know?! Yikes! That would definitely make me to think twice. I would live more intentionally which is the ultimate goal. Living intentionally for God.
Thanks for your courage to share and bless me this morning.
What a great post. I'm pretty sure I remember reading the acknowledgements in Me, Just Different -- and you thanked your husband for introducing you to Mere Christianity. So it's cool to know why it was important.
I'm on a serious C.S. Lewis kick right now. The man was touched...thanks for your honesty friend!
Sierra, you're so sweet :) I have LOTS of growing left to do!

Old West Austin
Here's How Much It Costs to Buy a Home in Old West Austin Right Now
Bucolic, yet essentially downtown
By Cindy Widner@CurbedAustin Jul 14, 2016, 9:46am CDT
In an ongoing series for Curbed Austin, real-estate analytics site NeighborhoodX is taking a close look at sales price ranges in different neighborhoods. Today, it's checking out numbers in the Old West Austin neighborhood.
The Old West Austin neighborhood is bounded by Mopac Expressway on the west, Enfield Road on the south, North Lamar Boulevard on the east, and West 35th Street on the south. (The Clarksville neighborhood borders it on the south and is included in its neighborhood association, but because it was originally a freedman's town and has a separate historic designation, it has very different housing stock and is excluded from this analysis.)
As the name and its inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places implies, Old West Austin is full of historic homes and comprises three subdistricts: Pemberton Heights, Old Enfield, and Brykerwoods. Many were built around the turn of or in the early 20th century. Located on a hill above Shoal Creek, it runs parallel to downtown above Enfield Road and was once considered the western edge of downtown. Today it's a quiet, green, conveniently located area containing a mix of old, new, grand, and modest homes, including many city landmarks.
The current average listing price for the neighborhoods of Old West Austin is $402 per square foot, although the individual properties that contribute to that average range from $212/square foot (2514 Hartford Road , a duplex in Pemberton Heights asking $850K) to $786/square foot (1 Niles Road, an Old Enfield mansion asking $8.25M).
You can dig into the full, interactive chart at the NeighborhoodX link below.

Henry Parland
Nelli Mažitova
2019 September 10
Helene Holzman
Once upon a time in Kaunas. On 6th May 1929, one of the most dramatic moments of the interwar period happened: assassination of Prime Minister Augustinas Voldemaras was attempted at the city garden. His nephew and captain L. Virbickas were both hurt next to the theatre door, the clothes of Mrs. Voldemarienė got shot through, while his aide P. Gudynas was killed on the spot. After the assassination attempt, the police inspected all foreigners that arrived at Kaunas that day. In one hotel, they found a hungover young man from Finland. This inability to wake him up quickly convinced the policemen of his innocence...
This young man was Henry Parland, a writer born in Vyborg. Having become famous after publishing his collection of modernist poems in his homeland, the poet immersed himself in a bohemian life. Concerned parents sent their son to Kaunas, where he was supposed to be looked after by his uncle and professor of philosophy Vasily Seseman, away from the temptations of boisterous life. Just after his arrival to Kaunas, Parland wrote to his parents:
Kaunas is not as a hole as you have thought it to be. It is a city with wonderful nature, endless space, electricity, buses, Jews and lots of poor-quality coffee.
However, Parland found some bohemian life in Kaunas as well:
To be honest, there are no more horrible drunks than Lithuanian poets, and they accepted me with open hands. I also taught them to drink tea with vodka and it seems that it has a very strong effect on the non-Finnish people. I remember a funny yet uncomfortable situation last week, when I had to prop up young men against the lamp posts on the main street of Kaunas in a long queue, and then look for a car that could take them from there. They stood obediently, clinging to the posts and only sometimes, they would fall, and I had to put them back.
Antanas Venclova recalled the following adventure of the writer in Kaunas:
On the very first Sunday, when the wife of Blazas was gone somewhere, a cheerful company came back from the city – the owner of the apartment with a Finnish poet Henry Parland /.../ and another couple of great men. One of them, a more sober one, announced that they came here, because Parland felt bad and he does not want to sleep but he really needs to have some sleep. At the dining room, Parland was forcefully laid on the couch and I was asked to make sure he would not run away anywhere. /…/ The guest finally became calmer /…/ and those who came continued partying. Parland was with his eyes closed, breathing calmly, murmuring something in German under his nose about die europaische Kultur. I went to my room. When I came back after an hour, I saw that he brought from a balcony a long rough board, placed it across the room, while he, himself, stood in the balcony and threw the remaining flowerpots of Mrs. Blazienė straight to the street. I tried to talk to him, but he did not want to talk and continued to carry on with his work very seriously. When the final pot was down, Parland returned to the room, took flowerpots from tables and windowsills, threw out them as well...
While in Kaunas, the writer started writing his first novel To Pieces (se. Sönder), but did not manage to finish it: he died from scarlet fever at the young age of 22. The writer was buried in the Old Cemetery of Kaunas, the Lutheran part (now Ramybės Park).

Q: Share code between web-app (Angular2) and mobile app (Ionic 2) I'm new to these technologies so forgive me if some of my questions don't make sense!
I have to develop both a web app and a mobile app for my company. I was thinking about Ionic 2 since it uses Angular 2, and I would like to share code between the web-app I'll build with angular 2 and the mobile app with Ionic 2 since they'll do almost the same things.
How should I do that? I'd like to keep the logic of the application the same, and I would just modify something about the UI.
Thank you!

A: You're in luck.
With Ionic 2 (Angular 2) you can just simply take all the code from the www folder and place it on your web server and you're done.
Sure, you may tweak styling a bit, but then again it's not mandatory.
Truth be told, this can be done with Ionic 1 as well. However, it's not officially supported, but with Ionic 2 it is.

A: I think the better solution is with NativeScript which truly allows you to share Angular 2 code between your iOS/Android app and your web app.
See the following bog post
http://angularjs.blogspot.bg/2016/03/code-reuse-in-angular-2-native-mobile.html
I was looking to use Ionic as well and was scratching my head for a bit with the same question but I do not think Ionic has true maintainable solution for this yet. NativeScript looks to be the first to have this as stated in this article, "This was impossible just a year ago, but now with NativeScript and Angular 2.0 this is a reality." https://www.nativescript.org/blog/details/nativescript-2.0---the-best-way-to-build-cross-platform-native-mobile-apps

A: I have replied to similar type of question at Angular 2 And Ionic for Web and Mobile App
See if you can find helpful.

Drug-coated balloon catheters are a novel clinical treatment alternative for coronary and peripheral artery diseases. Calcium alginate, poly(vinylethylimidazolium bromide) and polyacrylamide hydrogels were used as vessel models in this in vitro study. In comparison to a simple silicone tube their properties can be easily modified simulating different types of tissue. Local drug delivery after balloon dilation in the first crucial minute was determined in a vessel-simulating flow-through cell by a simulated blood stream. Balloon catheters were coated with paclitaxel using the ionic liquid cetylpyridinium salicylate as a novel carrier. Drug transfer from coated balloon catheters to different simulated vessel walls was evaluated and compared to a silicone tube. The highest paclitaxel delivery upon dilation was achieved with calcium alginate as the vessel model (60%) compared to polyacrylamide with 20% drug transfer. The silicone tube showed the least amount of wash-off (<1%) by a simulated blood stream after one minute from the vessel wall. The vessel-simulating flow-through cell was combined with a model coronary artery pathway to estimate drug loss during simulated use in an in vitro model. Calcium alginate and polyacrylamide hydrogels were used as tissue models for the simulated anatomic implantation process. In both cases, similar transfer rates for paclitaxel upon dilation were detected.
To date, there are only a few in vitro studies presented, characterizing and describing the simulated use of drug coated balloon catheters in an in vitro vessel model.10–12 The previously used models are far from physiological properties of the material, e.g. a silicone tube acts like an artery. We have been working on polymerized ionic liquids (PILs) which are able to form hydrogels. Depending on the type of ionic liquid and degree of cross-linking the mechanical properties can be modified.13 In our presented study, these hydrogels were evaluated to act as vessel model and compared to known hydrogels. Next to calcium alginate as a natural hydrogel, synthetic polymers with good mechanical and long-term stability were also used.13 PTX-coated balloon catheters using the ionic liquid cetylpyridinium salicylate (Cetpyrsal) as a novel innovative additive were studied.11 Local drug delivery within a vessel-simulating flow-through cell under physiological conditions during the first crucial minute was investigated. For an assessment of this study, the total drug delivery upon dilation (retention into the hydrogel and wash-off (release) from the hydrogel compartment by a simulated blood stream) and the residual load on the balloon were analyzed. Furthermore, the drug loss during a simulated insertion was estimated by combining the flow-through cell with a model coronary artery pathway.
Used balloons during in vitro study. Silicone tube (only balloon type 2), calcium alginate (trial 1: balloon 2, trial 2–6: balloon type 1), poly(VEImBr) hydrogel (only balloon type 2), PAAm (trial 1–3: balloon type 2, trial 4–6: balloon type 3). For the model ASTM F2394-07 only balloon type 2 was used.
Calcium alginate hydrogel. Sodium alginate (3%, w/w) was dissolved in de-ionized water. To 0.15 g CaSO4·2H2O 1500 μL de-ionized water was added and to the resulting suspension, 500 μL of a 10% (w) Na3PO4·12H2O solution was added. 16.5 g alginate sol (3%, w/w) was mixed by a sheet of strong paper with this fresh calcium-containing suspension and was filled in the vessel-simulating flow-through cell. After complete gelation, the metal rod was removed from the flow-through cell and a simulated artificial vessel wall was obtained.
Poly(vinylethylimidazolium bromide) hydrogel (poly(VEImBr)). 7.5 g of 1-vinyl-3-ethyl-imidazolium bromide (36.93 mmol, [VEIm][Br]), synthesis previously described by Bandomir et al., was dissolved in 11.675 mL de-ionized water.13 Rotiphorese® Gel B (4.925 mL), 750 μL APS solution (10%, w/w) and 150 μL of TEMED were added. The solution was mixed using a Vortex and after a short reaction time (1–2 min), the flow-through cell containing the metal rod was filled with the polymerizing solution.13 The metal rod was removed following complete hardening of the hydrogel.
An adapted vessel-simulating flow-through cell was chosen, which is described in detail by Seidlitz et al.15 Instead of the acrylic glass disc a metal disc was used. Calcium alginate, PAAm and poly(VEImBr) hydrogels were inserted as hydrogel compartments. The DCB was placed in the simulated vessel wall and dilated for 60 s with a nominal pressure of 7 bar. The flow-through cell with the inflated balloon catheter is shown in Fig. 1 with PAAm hydrogel as the vessel model. After expansion, the balloon was removed and isotonic sodium chloride (NaCl, 0.9%) as a perfusion medium was circulated along the simulated vessel wall for a duration of 1 min at a flow rate of 35 mL min−1. Pumping of medium was managed with a gear pump (Ismatec MCP-Z ISM 405A, pump head model 186-000, Germany; Tygon® tube R 3607, 3.17 mm ID, VWR International GmbH, Germany) and the set flow rate was adjusted to the blood flow velocity in coronaries.16 The isotonic solution was collected in a falcon vessel and the PTX concentrations were measured by HPLC (see HPLC parameters). The process of balloon angioplasty was simulated applying an in vitro model, consisting of a guiding catheter (Cordis® Vista Brite Tip®; 6F; 1.75 mm ID; 90 cm) with a guide wire (Biotronik SE & Co KG, Galeo M 014) and a flow-through cell with different hydrogel compartments at the end of the test path, representing the vessel wall. Experiments were also performed with a silicone tube (3.0 mm ID) as the vessel model to compare the results. Paclitaxel transfer into different simulated vessel walls was measured. Before balloon dilation, the guiding catheter and vessel model were flushed with 20 mL NaCl-solution (0.9%). PTX-coated balloon catheters using Cetpyrsal additive were inserted into the guiding catheter and via a guide wire, the balloon catheter was placed in the simulated vessel wall.

After balloon deflation, the pump was started (flow rate 35 mL min−1). The PTX concentration simulating drug wash-off from the vessel model within the first crucial minute was determined by HPLC measurements. The guiding catheter was then flushed with 20 mL methanol. The balloon catheter was extracted in 10 mL methanol for 30 min at 23 ± 2 °C and then the residue on the balloon was analyzed. The used hydrogel after cutting into small pieces was also extracted with methanol (20 mL) for 30 min at 23 ± 2 °C to detect the amount of transferred drug into the vessel model. The entire guiding catheter was then flushed with 20 mL of 0.9% NaCl-solution in preparation of the next experiment. In summary, the total PTX delivery upon dilation composed of drug transfer into the hydrogel and drug wash-off from the hydrogel compartment after 1 min by a simulated blood stream. All samples were quantified by means of HPLC after a 1 : 2 dilution with methanol.
A standard anatomic model adapted from ASTM F2394-07, recently described in the literature as a standard procedure, was applied to simulate the implantation process of DCB.17 The model consisted of polymethacrylate plates forming a simulated course of a coronary artery. The used guiding catheter (Cordis® Vista Brite Tip®; 6F; 1.75 mm ID; 90 cm) with a guide wire (Biotronik SE & Co KG, Galeo M 014) and the tortuous path equipped with a PTFE tube was placed in a 37 ± 2 °C heated water bath (Fig. 2). The model was flushed with 30 mL 0.9% NaCl-solution. A DCB was introduced into the guiding catheter of the model and initially placed at the end of the PTFE tube. The guiding catheter was then flushed with 30 mL 0.9% NaCl-solution to recover particles and PTX released during tracking. At the distal end of the test path, a hydrogel vessel model (calcium alginate or PAAm) was placed and the balloon was dilated to 7 bar and held for 1 min. The balloon was removed after deflation and extracted in 20 mL methanol for 10 min (residual PTX load on the balloon) at 23 ± 2 °C. The pump was then started (flow rate 35 mL min−1) and the PTX concentration simulating the drug wash-off in the first crucial minute was determined. Then the used hydrogel after cutting was also extracted with methanol (20 mL) for 30 min at 23 ± 2 °C (drug transfer into the vessel model). After balloon extraction (10 min) in methanol, the balloon was removed and the entire pathway was then finally flushed with 30 mL methanol. Subsequently, the test path was flushed with 0.9% NaCl-solution in preparation of the next balloon dilation.

The total PTX delivery upon dilation composed of drug transfer into the vessel model (hydrogel) and drug wash-off from the hydrogel compartment after 1 min by a simulated blood stream. All samples were quantified by means of HPLC after a 1 : 2 dilution with methanol.
Particle quantification. Micro particles (>10 μm and >25 μm) were quantified according to USP 788, Eur. Pharmacopeia via the particle counter HIAC ROYCO 9703 device (sensor model HRDL400, HACH, Loveland, Colorado, USA).
The first set of experiments of DCB compared different hydrogels as tissue models to evaluate drug release of PTX. Drug transfer, the retention of PTX into three different hydrogels as tissue models respectively vessel walls as well as the wash-off (release) from the hydrogel compartment within a vessel-simulating flow-through cell were investigated during balloon dilation. A PTX transfer should be examined by using different hydrogel compartments to determine the influence of the tissue model relating to the PTX transfer upon dilation. Certain properties of the used hydrogels to simulate a vessel wall such as permeability, flexibility and long-term stability of synthetic polymers (poly(VEImBr) and PAAm) are of particular importance. Calcium alginate as a natural polymer is easily accessible but has limited long-term stability. Monovalent cations such as Na+ dissolve the network within short time. In addition, alginate hydrogels are prone to microbial contamination. Results for various vessel models are depicted in Fig. 3. The total PTX delivery upon dilation composed of drug transfer into the hydrogel and drug wash-off from the hydrogel compartment after 1 min by a simulated blood stream. In the following the results from the balloon dilations will be discussed.
Fig. 3 Drug transfer rate for PTX in different in vitro vessel models.
Drug transfer into the vessel model (Fig. 3, entry 1). The PTX transfer into the vessel models are listed in Table 1. Drug delivered in the silicone tube was extracted with methanol (38.6 ± 3.4%, 1.02 ± 0.03 μg mm−2). Considerably lower PTX was delivered into hydrogel-based vessel models. In the case of calcium alginate as the vessel wall, a PTX content in the hydrogel of 21.4 ± 10.7% (0.53 ± 0.23 μg mm−2) was detected. Alternatively, with PAAm as the vessel wall, only 2.8 ± 1.8% (<0.1 μg mm−2) of PTX was transferred into the hydrogel. There are different possibilities for interpretation of the observed results. Drug transfer from coated balloons to the simulated vessel wall could occur in different ways. Paclitaxel may dissolve on contact with the hydrogel compartment and diffuse into the gel. Thus, solubility is very important for drug release and delivery. Dissolution depends on solubility of the used drug in 0.9% NaCl-solution. Liggins et al. published a maximum solubility of anhydrous PTX of 3.59 ± 0.41 μg mL−1 in water after 3 h at 37 °C.18 Another report described a solubility of <0.1 μg mL−1 in aqueous medium, which is quite low.19 Water solubility could be increased by synthesis of derivatives, under the risk of changing pharmaceutical characteristics.20 Due to very poor solubility of PTX in water, transport via dissolution and diffusion into the hydrogel is not responsible for the main transfer. Another drug transfer pathway may occur by particle transfer of PTX due to prevailing mechanical forces during balloon expansion onto the vessel wall. Over a period of one minute, a contact between the expanded balloon and simulated vessel wall is established, thus allowing transfer of PTX particles. The contact time was consistent in every case, but the inner diameter of the silicone tube (3.0 mm) was different in comparison to the artificial vessel walls (3.14 mm). Hence, the prevailing mechanical forces during balloon expansion in the silicone tube were stronger and more PTX could be transferred. To conclude, the main PTX transfer during balloon expansion occurred due to prevailing mechanical forces.

Poly(VEImBr) 28.7 ± 26.2% <2% n. a.
Furthermore, the hydrogel characteristics were important for PTX transfer and diffusion into hydrogels.21 PAAm and poly(VEImBr) were synthetic polymers with a specific cross-linker content (poly(VEImBr): 1.7% to PAAm: 0.8% cross-linker content).13 On the contrary, the calcium alginate hydrogel is a natural polymer with variability in its properties. In addition to mechanical properties (flexibility) of the vessel models, different adhesion properties were present. This corresponds to different amounts of PTX wash-off from the vessel models after 1 min by a simulated blood stream (see Table 1 or Fig. 3). Moreover, the diffusion of PTX into the vessel wall occurs at various rates, which may be related with the cross-linker content. This leads to PTX diffusion into synthetic polymers < 5% (poly(VEImBr) and PAAm) compared to the natural polymer of 21.4 ± 10.7%.
Drug residue on the balloon. The residual loads of PTX on the balloon catheter were also determined (Fig. 3, entry 4). Extraction of the balloon in methanol resulted in the highest PTX concentration for the silicone tube (59.5 ± 4.6%, 1.6 ± 0.2 μg mm−2) as the vessel model, meaning most of the PTX remained on the balloon surface. Only 40% of the drug could be transferred during balloon dilation. However, considerably less drug on the balloon catheter surface were analyzed in the cases of dilation in calcium alginate (30.8 ± 7.6%, 0.8 ± 0.2 μg mm−2) and PAAm (33.2 ± 15.3%, 0.8 ± 0.4 μg mm−2) as vessel models. Consequently, in both cases about 70% of the drug is removed from the balloon catheter.
In conclusion for the simulated use of DCB, the total drug delivery upon dilation is different for the used hydrogels simulating the vessel wall. Calcium alginate hydrogel as the vessel model showed the highest PTX delivery upon dilation. The wash-off from the alginate hydrogel was high (drug release after 1 min by a simulated blood stream: 41.2 ± 14.2%). However, 21.4 ± 10.7% of the drug diffused into the hydrogel compartment. The silicone tube showed the least amount of wash-off (<1%) from the vessel model after 1 min, but it is quite different to natural vessels. Poly(VEImBr) hydrogels as vessel models were difficult to analyze. In the case of PAAm as the vessel model, only 20% of PTX could be delivered upon dilation.
In order to simulate the implantation process, the vessel-simulating flow-through cell was combined with a model coronary artery pathway to estimate drug loss and transfer as well as particle release. Cetpyrsal-based DCBs were manually advanced through a tortuous vessel path, consisting of a guiding catheter with a guide wire. Calcium alginate and polyacrylamide hydrogels were used as tissue models for the simulated use in an in vitro model (Fig. 4). The obtained results can be compared with the data from Petersen et al.11 In their study, they also used the anatomic model according to ASTM F2394-07 with a silicone tube as the vessel model.
Fig. 4 Total drug transfer rate upon dilation for PTX after simulated anatomic passage.
Total PTX delivery upon dilation (Fig. 4, entry 1). Only small transferred fractions were observed for both vessel models after passage of the balloon catheter through a simulated anatomic model. In the case of PAAm, a total PTX delivery upon dilation of 5.1 ± 2.1% (0.14 ± 0.06 μg mm−2) was achieved. Similar transfer rates for PTX upon dilation were detected with calcium alginate as the vessel model (6.4 ± 3.8%, 0.13 ± 0.07 μg mm−2). As before, a short wash-off time (drug release after one minute) was chosen to simulate the drug behavior after pass through the tracking model. With PAAm as the vessel model, a PTX content of 1.7 ± 0.7% could be detected in the wash-off solution. A similar value for calcium alginate as the vessel model was found (PTX content of 2.0 ± 1.1%) as wash-off from the hydrogel compartment in the first minute. The PTX transfer into the hydrogel compartment was slightly higher (PAAm: of 3.4 ± 1.9%; calcium alginate: of 4.3 ± 2.8%). Thus, the drug diffused into the vessel model or adhered on the vessel wall and was not released in one minute into the medium. However, the total PTX delivery upon dilation was similar for two different vessel models after the simulated implantation process. Petersen et al. transferred more PTX in the silicone tube (up to 40%) with a PTX–Cetpyrsal balloon catheter (50 : 50, w/w) coated in a folded condition. With the balloon coated in an expanded condition, the PTX transfer in the silicone tube was lower (5–15%).11 Here, the used balloon catheters were coated in an expanded condition. Seidlitz et al. used pure PTX-coated balloons and showed PTX transfer rates to gel below 1% (calcium alginate as vessel model).12 In their study, they also used a model of a coronary artery pathway to investigate drug loss and drug transfer to the gel. However, in our study with the novel DCB coating more PTX was delivered upon dilation (calcium alginate: 6.4 ± 3.8% compared to below 1%). In conclusion, the PTX transfer upon dilation depends on the coating of the balloon and the used vessel model simulating the vessel wall.
Drug residue on the balloon (Fig. 4, entry 2). Extraction of the balloon catheter in methanol resulted in a PTX content of 1.38 ± 0.46 μg mm−2 with PAAm as the vessel model (Fig. 4). Consequently, there was still 51.4 ± 15.7% PTX remaining on the balloon surface and about 50% of the drug is removed from the balloon catheter. However, expansion of the balloon in calcium alginate yielded only 0.27 ± 0.14 μg mm−2 PTX residue on the balloon (13.3 ± 8.3%). The balloon was almost completely unloaded.
Particle quantification. In addition to the total drug delivery upon dilation, particle measurements (>10 μm, >25 μm) were performed after track and dilation of the balloon (Table 2). These size limits (>10 μm, >25 μm) are assumed from the evaluation of surface and coating damage of stent delivery catheter. The estimated mechanism from DCB involves the delivery of particles to the inner lumen of coronary arteries, the release of particles or coating fragments in the coronary arteries. Complications are occlusions of small vessels or capillaries.17,27 Quantified particles are mainly PTX particles because Cetpyrsal does not form any ascertainable particles in aqueous solution under used conditions.
Drug-coated balloon catheters are an alternative for coronary and peripheral artery disease. Based on the limited number of published results of in vitro characterization of drug coated balloons, there is a need for further research. Novel PTX-coated balloons using ionic liquid Cetpyrsal as an additive for the in vitro study were applied. Drug delivery upon dilation in different tissue models (calcium alginate, poly(VEImBr) and PAAm) using a vessel-simulating flow-through cell was investigated and compared to a silicone tube as the tissue model. The highest PTX delivery upon dilation was achieved with calcium alginate as the vessel model (about 60%). However, a total PTX delivery upon dilation of 20% was determined with polyacrylamide as vessel model. The used vessel models showed seemingly various adhesion properties, thus the PTX wash-off quantities during simulated blood flow were different. The silicone tube showed the lowest amount of wash-off (<1%) from the vessel model after 1 min simulated blood stream. The highest drug wash-off (release) was achieved with calcium alginate as vessel model. Moreover, the diffusion of PTX into the vessel wall occurs at various rates, which may be related to the cross-linker content of the hydrogels. In addition to solubility and thus diffusion of PTX, the hydrogel material as well as the coating was crucial for drug transfer from the balloon into the vessel wall when compared to reported data. Furthermore, the vessel-simulating flow-through cell was combined with a model coronary artery pathway to simulate an anatomic implantation process. Vast amounts of the coated drug were lost during a simulated artery pathway. Only a small fraction of the total loads of PTX were delivered upon dilation. Similar transfer rates for PTX upon dilation were achieved with calcium alginate and PAAm as vessel models. The crucial drug delivery upon dilation was examined with the aid of different hydrogel materials to evaluate the in vitro research. These are important data for the in vivo application.

Q: How to show that $\sum_{g\in G} \phi (g) = 0$? If $\phi \ne 1  \in \hat G$  where G is   an abelian group , show  that $\sum_{g\in G} \phi (g) = 0$
My attempts  : It is  sufficient to show  that $g\in G\setminus\{1\}$ then there exists $\phi$ such that $\phi(g)\neq 1$.
After that  I am not able  to show that $\sum_{g\in G} \phi (g) = 0$
Any hints/solution  will be appreciated, thanks  in advance

A: Hint : If $S$ is your sum show that $S = \phi(h)S$ where $h \in G$ is such that $\phi(h) \neq 1$. It works even if $G$ is not abelian.

Employment Legislation
What is the Statutory Code of Practice on Sexual Harassment and Why it is Being Developed?
MoorepayAll TopicsWhat is the Statutory Code of Practice on Sexual Harassment and Why it is Being Developed?
Back to Employment Legislation Overview
The Government has committed to developing a Statutory Code of Practice on Sexual Harassment via the Equality and Human Rights Commission (ECHR). They have commenced a consultation on the introduction of a duty on employers to protect workers from sexual harassment.
In addition, consideration would be afforded to the regulation of non-disclosure agreements where allegations of sexual harassment are apparent.
Why This Code is Being Developed
Although there are existing protections against sexual harassment in the workplace in UK law, there is significant evidence that sexual harassment is still widespread in the workplace. This was further highlighted in the #MeToo Movement that gained momentum in 2017 onwards.
In a report in 2018, the Women and Equalities Select Committee raised concerns about sexual harassment in the workplace. The Select Committee recommended a statutory Code of Practice on sexual harassment and harassment at work. The UK government then published a consultation on harassment in the workplace in 2019 to explore these concerns.
The Code will provide greater protection to prevent harassment before it takes place as well as improve safe reporting methods for sexual harassment claims, through new workplace policies and procedures.
Key Points of the Proposed Code
The Code is till in development, but is likely to cover:
Guidance for employers on how to actively prevent sexual harassment in the workplace before it takes place
Systems and procedures for anonymous reporting
Systems and procedures for investigating and recording complaints
Specialist support for victims
Training, induction, risk assessments and other relevant policies and practises

Q: increase the size of nodes in decision tree I am using decision tree classifier and want to plot the tree using matplotlib
I am using this but nodes are small and not clear:
from sklearn import tree
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.figure(figsize=(15,15))
tree.plot_tree(model_dt_smote,filled=True)

A: You can pass axe to tree.plot_tree with large figsize and set larger fontsize like below:
(I can't run your code then I send an example)
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from sklearn import tree

clf = tree.DecisionTreeClassifier(random_state=0)
iris = load_iris()
clf = clf.fit(iris.data, iris.target)

fig, axe = plt.subplots(figsize=(20,10))
tree.plot_tree(clf, ax = axe, fontsize=15)

How to Enable and Hide Slide Over on iPadOS
By Andrew Myrick 0 comments Last updated July 11, 2019
The name of the game with the iPad Pro is productivity. While there are some fun new features with iPadOS, namely Xbox and PS4 controller support, these devices are meant to help you get work done.

Before Apple unleashed the iPadOS beta on the world, the iPad was capable of using multiple windows with the help of split-screen and Slide Over. Split-screen is self explanatory, as you can have two windows open side-by-side on your display. Slide Over allows for you to pull up a third app which opens in a window and can be moved around the display.
Enable/Disable Slide Over in iOS 12 and before
Back in the days of iOS 12 and before, Apple's implementation of Slide Over, was pretty straight-forward:
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Dock
From the Dock, touch and the app and then drag it to the screen
If you already had Split Screen enabled, you could press hold on an icon from the Dock, and then drag the app over the divider. This would give you three apps to work with at the same time, hopefully making you even more productive.
Moving the app was quick and easy, as you would just touch and hold the top of the app, and slide it around. Then when you were ready to get rid of the third app, you would just hold the same spot at the top and swipe to the left from the right of the display.
How to enable Slide Over on iPadOS
Before you can hide Slide Over on iPadOS, you'll need to enable it with the necessary app. Luckily, nothing has changed in that regards, as you'll need to follow these steps:
As you can see, Apple has made life easy by not changing another, albeit minor, feature on us. This will give you an app that is overlayed on your screen, and you can move it about as you need.
How to hide Slide Over on iPadOS
Now that iPadOS is making its way into the hands of more and more users, there seems to be a change in the guard. Apple has decided to make things a bit more difficult if you need to hide Slide Over on iPadOS.
There are a couple of methods that you can take in order to get rid of the Slide Over panel, and they are all pretty simple. The first of which is simply grabbing the top of the app, and then swiping it to the right until it's gone from the screen.
The problem here is that while this is the same method as before, it does not work as fluidly. There have been plenty of instances where I will try to swipe a Slide Over app off my screen, only to have it take the place of the right-side app within Split View.
There is another way that has made its way into iPadOS, but it's not as intuitive as one would think. When you are ready to get rid of the Slide Over app, grab from the left side of the panel and swipe it right until it's off the screen.
Both of these are quick and easy, although it's not exactly apparent that you can even grab an app like that. This could just a be a bug, but we are now onto the 3rd beta for iPadOS and the "fix" is still available.
What else can you do?
If you are continuing to have issues with hiding Slide Over, there are a couple of other options to work with. The first is the most basic of basic, but it requires you to restart your iPad. This is obviously the least ideal situation, especially if you are in the middle of trying to get some work done.
However, some folks have reported seeing the Slide Over app get stuck or frozen and while it can be moved around, it can't be removed from the screen. The next option is to head into the Settings app on your iPad and fiddle with some of the different options.
Select Multi-tasking & Dock
From here, you can try toggling "Allow Multiple Apps" off and on, and if that doesn't work, toggle "Gestures". If you go this route, we would recommend restarting your iPad to be on the safe side of things.
Apple's release of iPadOS is the biggest ever for iPad owners, as we inch closer to a full computer replacement. However, it's extremely important for these smaller features to work so that users don't end up getting frustrated and looking elsewhere.
We are hoping that Apple gets it together and fixes these bugs, or provides us with some documentation if there are new methods. Nonetheless, if you continue to have issues, sound off in the comments below and we will do our best to help you.
