In the Networked Society, where connectivity is the starting point for new ways of innovating, collaborating and socializing, there are few things more important than network capacity. In environments such as stadiums, busy streets and multi-story office blocks, large numbers of people gather - and they expect to be able to connect with one another and access information using mobile devices. At times, these dense concentrations of users place so much demand on the network that quality of service suffers.
In cases where it is not practical to densify existing operator networks Ericsson's (NASDAQ:ERIC, news, filings) solution to this problem is Small Cell as a Service. This approach involves using low-powered, short-range radio access nodes to supplement existing telecom networks and increase capacity in traffic hot spots where large numbers of users gather. The resulting densified network is owned by either Ericsson or a partner, and could serve multiple operators in scenarios when dedicated operator deployments are impractical.
Jean-Claude Geha, Vice President and Head of Managed Services, Ericsson, says: "This is an innovative managed services model that we are launching to cope with the huge volumes of traffic that are generated in areas where large numbers of people gather. Our solution is unique because of our ability to seamlessly combine 3G/4G with carrier-grade Wi-Fi, thereby ensuring that network capacity always exceeds demand."
Small Cell as a Service will enable operators to manage increasingly video-centric traffic in ultra-dense environments where it may not be practical to find additional sites for macro cells. The service is also a means of monetizing carrier-grade Wi-Fi and dedicated media content, advertising and over-the-top (OTT) services. It can be offered in conjunction with broadcast services such as content distribution and delivery, content processing and video stream handling, as well as Ericsson's content management systems.
Other advantages include increased satisfaction as a result of an enhanced end-user experience, all-inclusive pricing for a variety of services provided at agreed service levels, and reduced risks as significant technological, operational and financial risks are offloaded to Ericsson. Ericsson will showcase the complete solution at Mobile World Congress 2014.


A suspect was wounded on Sunday, May 27 after a Hemet Police K-9 team broke up an early morning burglary that ended with a police shooting, authorities said.
Officers fired at a fleeing pickup truck nearly struck the dog's handler and hit the dog, causing minor injuries, the police department said.
The pickup truck driver was hospitalized, as was a second suspect who was caught by K-9 Duke, a Belgian Malinois who continued chasing him on foot despite being struck by the truck during the chase.
Both suspects, who were not identified, were expected to survive.
There were two separate instances of officers using their guns in the incident that started at 5:23 a.m. in the 2000 block of East Florida Avenue in the city.
The officer-handler, who was not identified in the news release, and Duke answered a burglary alarm at the address. There was a truck backed up to the business with one suspect inside the building, the release said.
One of the suspects fled on foot, heading east, and the truck with the other suspect at the wheel took off in the same direction. "The truck nearly struck the K-9 Officer and did strike K-9 Duke," the news release said. There was a shooting by the officer at that encounter, the department said.
More officers came to the scene and caught the fleeing truck at Yale Street and Florida Avenue, where the second police shooting took place, this time wounding the driver.
We are working an incident in the area of Yale and Florida. The entire intersection has been closed in all directions. Please use Acacia, Columbia, Girard and Devonshire to detour around the area. It will be closed until further notice. Please avoid this area.
Duke was taken to a local veterinary for treatment for injuries to his leg and was sent home to recover. Hemet Police Lt. Glen Brock described his injuries as minor.


A high-tech surgical robot can be used to save lives, but it's also a great way to win at Operation.
The da Vinci Surgical System is a high-tech robot that costs around $2 million and is meant to treat conditions such as cancer and artery disease. A group of students from the Johns Hopkins University Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics figured: "Hey, why not use it to play Operation too?"
Operation is a board game where players have to successfully operate on a patient named Cavity Sam to win. Sam has various holes in his body that contain humorously named parts, such as Spare Ribs and Water On the Knee. Each hole is lined with metal, and the board is electrically charged. Touching the metal on the outside of each hole with the game's included tweezers makes a buzzer sound, causing the player to lose his/her turn. The goal is to remove each part without the buzzer going off.
Critics wonder if systems like the da Vinci are truly an improvement over a trained surgeon. After watching this video, is there any doubt? The da Vinci takes Cavity Sam's Wish Bone out with ease. I just wonder how well it would do with the Charley Horse.
However, before you go spending $2 million to beat your little brother in Operation, there could be some foul play afoot. NPR emailed Carol Reiley from the video about whether or not the buzzer would have sounded from use of the da Vinci. She wrote back: "Yes, we could've grounded the robot and completed the circuit to make the nose buzz. But since it was a 2 million dollar machine, we decided against it."
Phooey. Still, it doesn't look like the robot touches the sides, so I'll call this a win. Reiley added that the video's purpose was to show off the da Vinci's "dexterity and hand-tremor reduction." It's a bit like using C4 explosives to weed your garden, but how can you not approve of something so unnecessary.


When it comes to my handbag, I've come a really long way from the girl who used to carry everything but the kitchen sink. I've long since downsized my handbag - although I carry a bigger one for supplies when it's that time of the month or I'm taking my laptop to Costa ofc -, but there are still a bundle of things that I consider to be essentials in my handbag that I hate being without.
In today's post I thought I'd share my 8 handbag must-haves for the gal who likes to be prepared for pretty much everything!
I hate when my hands feel filthy, and I love getting to wash them after being on public transport or I've finished up work, but sometimes between times I don't have the time to wash them - like, my bus is due less than 10 mins after I finish work, so I tend to skip a bathroom break -, or I'm not near a toilet to do so - getting off the bus in the middle of town. For times like this I much prefer to at least use some hand santiser so I feel a bit less gross and paranoid that I'm going to catch a cold from the germs on the bus. I have a really cute travel one from Aldi's that cost less than a quid, and it's the best thing I ever picked up. There's always Soap & Glory's one, too, if you're pickier with your scents.
It doesn't matter if it's winter or summer, I always seem to forget to leave the house with a pair of sunglasses, so in the last week I've made sure to keep a pair in my handbag at all times. The winter sun is brutal, and it's finally seeming like spring/summer here in Scotland which means it's pretty blinding out. I'm so bad for looking out the window and seeing it's sunny, but reckoning I'll be fine without a pair of sunnies, but I'm always proved wrong as soon as I head towards my bus stop!
Because of my job, my fingernails are often prone to breaking and splitting, and having ragged edges. For this reason I always keep a good glass nail file in my handbag (borrowed from my mum), and a decent pair of nail clippers (i.e. not ones from Primark cos they break after two mins). I also find that nail clippers can double as a pair of scissors if you need to remove an annoying label or tag from your clothes - I'm forever irritated by clothing labels and end up having to remove them in the middle of the day!
In the last few years, my flaky dry skin has turned into the stuff of nightmares, with my nose and chin becoming oily, while the rest of my face remains crumbly still. For this reason, if my face is made up, I always make sure to take a good powder with me, but I found that my usual powder brush was just too big to be trekking about in my handbag. Enter the Real Techniques Mini Powder Brush, a teeny thing that's half the size of my normal brush, but fluffy and full enough to keep my skin matte during the day. It's an absolute live saver for oily-skinned folks like myself.
I'm constantly making lists - whether it's shopping lists or to-do lists - and I love to jot down ideas when I'm sitting in the likes of a cafe or having breakfast away from home, so keeping a tiny reporter's notepad in my handbag is ideal. I bought a three-pack for £1 out of Flying Tiger, and it's super handy to have a notepad at all times.
Dehydration often leaves me with headaches at the end of a shift at work, and although I'm trying to make sure I drink enough water, I find myself having to reach for the old painkillers before I hit the hay back at home. Between this and liking to be prepared for my period - although I do know when it's coming, I just worry about not having painkillers when I need them -, I always make sure to have some paracetamol in my bag.
There's been plenty of instances when I've been dropped off somewhere or picked up somewhere that when I'm on the bus home, I only then realise that I haven't brought my big Urbanears over-ear headphones. To make sure I always have a pair with me, I recently picked up an amazing pair of in-ear buds by Panasonic that are easy enough to wrap up neatly and store in a pocket in my bag, so I'm never without music for those bus journeys.
I always keep a pack of Superdrug travel make-up wipes in my handbag, a habit I've had since I was about 18. Back before I met Jack, I would often end up randomly crashing at the houses of my friends or boys I was seeing without any real notice, so I started packing make-up wipes because even if they're not great for your skin, I'd much rather have something to take off the bulk of my make-up off with, than sleep in it. Nowadays, I very rarely want to stay at anyone's house, but I still keep my wipes handy just in case - plus, it means I can tidy up or remove for reapplication any pesky liquid lipstick.
What are your handbag essentials? Have I missed anything?

What an amazing home! The house was completely updated and I assume very recently.
Kitchen is well appointed. The appliances are top shelf!
Beds - incredibly comfortable. There is a full size in upstairs level. 2 more bedrooms on main level. And yet 2 more in fully finished basement - hate to even refer to it as a basement!
Two car garage available. Unfortunately, our rental - a Nissan Pathfinder Armada was too tall to fit.
Gas grill is a very nice Weber Genesis. We got steaks at the local Whole Foods and they cooked up real nice.
We only had one issue - the one TV in the house was not working properly. The owner William came over to try and fix. As it turned out, the previous renter either took or misplaced the remote. So, we never were able to watch the TV.
Speaking of William, communication was timely and he was very helpful. A VRBO rockstar.
William is the absolute best, the property is very clean, and comfortable. I will definitely be staying here more n the summer.
We called this our Model Home. Very clean, new furnishings throughout. Decorated by IKEA? It was perfectly located for our long weekend with family.
William the owner was very responsive. He fixed a sink the same day he was made aware of a problem. The house was cleaned very thoroughly prior to our stay. The neighborhood was very quiet and within a short walk to a grocery store. I would stay here again.
This is a beautiful home that was a 10-15 minute drive to where we needed to be. The house is spacious and easily accommodated all of us without feeling like we were on top of each other!
A beautiful spacious home; it's perfect.
The home was beautiful and even more spacious than it looked in the photos. The house had everything we needed and more. It is meticulously clean with so many welcoming touches. There was plenty of parking both on the street and a 2 car garage. Our family had our holiday celebration here and William's decorations made it so festive. Thank you!

Gallisk-keltiska folkstammar är de keltiska stammar, som vid tiden för vår tideräkning bodde i Gallien eller nära angränsande områden som Belgica, Poslätten eller på de brittiska öarna. Vid denna tid hade även vissa germanska stammar överskridit den romerska gränsen vid Rhen och mer eller mindre assimilerats av den romerska kulturen. Se även lista över keltiska stammar!

Galler keltiska folkstammar i Gallien: Se även Gallien

Liksom i Germanien fanns det i Gallien en mängd stammar vid tiden för vår tideräkning, många nämnda i samband med Julius Caesars erövring av Gallien år 58-51 f.Kr., varav här följer några av de största:

Arverner eller arvaner, lat. arverni i nuvarande Auvergne.Var det folk som startade upproret mot romarna efter en tvist mot häduerna, när de bad germanerna om hjälp. Efter att sverbernas hövding Ariovistus år 70 f.Kr. hjälpt dem med detta så stannade hans armé kvar i Gallien, vilket gjorde att Caesar startade sitt erövringskrig. Deras huvudort Gergovia vid floden Dorogne blev aldrig besegrat av romarna trots deras belägring år 52 f.Kr. Gallernas hövding Vercingetorix tillhörde arvernernas stam.

Allobroger, lat. allobroges i nuvarande Dauphine i franska Alperna.Vocontier, lat. voconti,

Rutener, lat. ruteni,' Volker, lat. volcae,
var folk som bodde längs Medelhavskusten i den romerska provinsen Narbonensis.Akvitanier, lat. aquitani,var förmodligen ett gemensamt namn på de folk som bodde norr om Pyrenéerna, bland annat: Auscier, lat. ausci,
 Tarbeller, lat. tarbelli,Lemoviker , lat. lemovices,
 Santoner, lat. santoni och
 Pictoner, lat. pictones var folk som bodde längs Biscayabukten.Häduer, lat. Haedui,
 Lingoner, lat. lingones,
 Senoner, lat. senones och Cubier, lat. cubi

var några av de folkstammar som bebodde centrala Gallien. Häduerna var ett av de folk som kämpade om herraväldet i Gallien mot arvenierna, vilka till slut besegrade dem med hjälp av germanerna under sveberhövdingen Ariovistus.Veneter, lat. veneti och Aulerier, lat. aulerci
var de största stammarna längs Engelska kanalen, där den lilla stammen
 Pariser, lat. parisii bodde i området runt staden Lutetia vid Seine.Menapier , lat. menapii,
 Eburoner, lat. eburones,
 Nervier , lat. nervii och Remer, lat. remi
var några av de folkstammar som bodde i den romerska provinsen Belgica liksom de germanska stammarna usipeter och tenkterer.Treverer, lat. treveri,
 Leuker, lat. leuci och inte minst Sekvaner''', sequani
bodde väster om Rhen och fick därmed tidigt kontakt med germanerna. Efter att Ariovistus hjälpt till att besegra häduerna, så bosatte de sig i sekvanernas land sydväst om Rhen. Sekvanerna stred senare mot burgunderna, men kunde inte hindra dem från att slå sig ner i deras land.

What Does Mark Up Mean?
Nisha Fernandes answered
Mark up has several alternate definitions. With regard to legal jargon it means the process by which a legislative proposal is amended after the necessary debate. It is usually held by the state legislative session or US. Congressional committee that is a committee of jurisdiction, who has the authority of make changes. The committee will then deliberate and then propose amendments and then if the proposals are successfully accepted the legislative language of the bill in question will be amended. However in case the changes incorporated are extensive, the committee usually decides to reintroduce the amended legislation under a fresh bill.
Mark up may also indicate an increase in the prices of goods. Alternatively it may denote the written instructions regarding how a job is to be printed generally found on a job ticket. It is also a commonly used term in budget deliberations. In this context it refers to those times when lawmakers examine the budget in great detail in order to review any potential flaws.

Cystic fibrosis drug to be available in England after pricing deal
A sign hangs in front of the world headquarters of Vertex Pharmaceuticals in Boston
LONDON (Reuters) - Cystic fibrosis patients in England will have access to life-extending drugs after the state-funded health service said it had agreed a pricing deal with manufacturer Vertex Pharmaceuticals.
England's National Health Service (NHS) has been negotiating with Vertex for years about supplying Orkambi, a combination drug that improves lung function.
The U.S. company had wanted to charge around 100,000 pounds ($129,000) a year for a course of Orkambi, according to reports. The terms agreed on Thursday were not disclosed.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it was "fantastic news for those suffering from this terrible disease."
"I pay tribute to those who have campaigned so passionately and tirelessly on this issue - your efforts have made all the difference," he said.
Two other Vertex cystic fibrosis treatments - Symkevi and Kalydeco - are included in the deal, Vertex said.
"This important agreement, reached in collaboration and partnership with NHS England and (funding watchdog) NICE, will allow more than 5,000 eligible cystic fibrosis patients in England to have access to CFTR modulators to treat the underlying cause of their disease," said Ludovic Fenaux, senior vice president, Vertex International.
More than 10,000 people in Britain have cystic fibrosis, a debilitating, life-shortening inherited condition.
Vertex said it had also recently announced reimbursement agreements in Scotland, Australia and Spain.

Wilkes-Barre, PA — Verlin Yoder drove Woodside Charm to a 1:54.1 win in the Breeders Crown 2-Year-Old Filly Trot final at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono on Saturday (Oct. 27) over a track that was rated "sloppy" to remain undefeated.
Woodside Charm remains undefeated with Breeders Crown win. Curtis Salonick photo.
Yoder owns and trains the Chapter Seven—Fireworks Hanover filly, which was Yoder's first Breeders Crown entry, along with his first appearance.
Yoder took his filly right to the top as the gate swung open, followed by When Dovescry and Cloud Nine Fashion, with The Ice Dutchess waiting in fourth for a move.
The first quarter went in :27.4.The field remained in the same order as Woodside Charm glided along easy to a half in :57.1. The Ice Dutchess took to the outside and tried to launch a challenge but was soon weary and faded by three-quarters which went in 1:25.2.
When Dovescry made her move just after three-quarters, but Woodside Charm was taking Yoder on an easy path to the winner's circle.
When Dovescry finished second to the 1-9 favorite, with Cloud Nine Fashion holding on for third and Special Honor sliding in fourth.
It was the seventh win in seven starts for Woodside Charm, who was bred by AV & Son.
Simon Allard, who steered When Dovescry had nothing but praise for the winner.

Fueling a new breed of American power metal, Niviane (pronounced nih-vy-anne) hail from Sacramento, California and started in the fall of 2014. The quintet has taken a couple of years to assemble the right players, vocalist Norman Skinner probably possessing the most street cred in the scene because of his work in Imagika during the mid to late 2000's. The Druid King is their debut album, combining traditional/power metal with class, grace, and a sense of worldwide sophistication that places the songwriting and performances at a level rarely achieved this early in a band's career.
Much of the guitar foundation that Gary Tarplee and Mark Miner employ has that darker edge while still executing thick riffs and clean nuances that are very enticing and exhilarating – conjuring aural visions of Queensrÿche, Savatage, and aspects of Crimson Glory during their prime for "Watch the Banners Fall" or "March of the Jötunn". Patches of keyboard/orchestral pop in now and again, but they aren't a primary driver for the Niviane foundation – used as enhancement much like the sword fighting sequence that opens "The Berserker". Occasional spots of heavier, staccato-oriented gallops or cultural / melodic runs galvanize the hooks, allowing the steady drumming of Noe Luna to propel the rhythm section in metal 101 ethics for highlight efforts like "Into Twilight" and the title track much like Primal Fear or others in that European power mold. The Middle Eastern/exotic inflections play against each other in a push and pull manner to start "Adrestia", the main guitar hook and lead play taking older 80's power aesthetics and propelling them into a modern, biting atmosphere.
Norman's professionalism and versatility when it comes to the vocals takes the band from impressive to outstanding. His clear command, keen sense of knowledge for holding out the right notes, and ability to move from lower register to siren Halford/Dickinson-oriented screams keeps the listener engaged consistently – the versatility shining on the shapeshifting "Watch the Banners Fall" just as much as the stomping marcher "Arise Samurai". The cover art reflects what you should expect musically from Niviane- the blue color scheme and forest scene working in tandem with the meaty power context. The Druid King is an excellent debut from a US power metal band that concentrates on solid musicianship and strong songwriting/execution first and foremost, hopefully an indicator of a bright and fruitfully creative career in the offing.

Over the past few weeks, you and your team have not only provided my family a reassurance but also provided us with options to fix our sewer issue. You listened to our concerns and provided a few options for us to choose from. With each option you provided, you laid out the pros and cons. You were honest, followed up with the city (double checking), organized, and prepared/completed the work in a timely manner. We can't thank you enough for the hard work you and your team have accomplished on our property.
Just a quick note to say thanks for a job well done. We received a quote for putting a pad for our R.V. in our backyard. We phoned to say go ahead Saturday morning & Evan called back to say he would try to fit the job in that day, which he did. The excavator operator was very helpful and obliging. More dirt had to be removed than anticipated and Evan didn't charge us any extra for this but honored our original quote. We are very pleased with the prompt and excellent service we received.


TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) - Caterpillar, which is building a $58 million mining center near downtown Tucson, celebrated a milestone on Friday when the final I-beam was put in place.
The outside finished, the company hopes to have the rest of it ready for occupancy in early 2019.
Tucson's Ward 1 Council member Regina Romero told the 200 employees and dignitaries that "bringing Caterpillar to the city of Tucson, especially the West side of downtown was an absolute game changer."
There is little doubt the companies decision to move to Tucson rather than Denver, or the eight other communities vying for the Mining Center, has changed the economy.
"We've seen others follow, we see Amazon, and I think it is directly related," said Fletcher McCusker, the Chair of Rio Nuevo, which was instrumental in convincing the company to come to Tucson and is the principal financing agent. "Had Caterpillar not come, had we not seen the excitement that it has created, I don't think Amazon would be coming."
Amazon announced this week it is opening a new fulfillment center on Tucson's east side, and will employ 1,500 workers.
Sun Corridor says there will be two more announcements about companies moving to Tucson within the next 60 days.
It's a synergy that plays on itself.
But for the neighbors, the sentiment is not quite the same.
For Lorraine Bartlett, who has lived across the street from where the new mining center is being built, it's a mixed blessing.
"Plainly I say, give me three million dollars and I'll sell you my home," she said. "But was doing it in jest."
Bartlett says she receives calls frequently from speculators who want to buy her out.
"They give me their name, they're interested in buying my home, give me a call back," she said. "I ignore them because I love my home."
It's become a sore point, according to others who say some are happy about it but some are not.
For decades, Barrio Sin Nombre was all but ignored but because of Caterpillars move next door, they are suddenly the center of attention.
All these new homes coming in, the people buying up the vacant land and redeveloping, which is good," she said. "But they're paying so much money for it."
She says the neighborhood has been warned about gentrification which she fears is coming and could send home prices skyrocketing, forcing people, out of their homes.
"The city is going to have to deal with that," McCusker said. "I think they have the will but they don't have the urgency yet."


Chinese social network, Weibo, has expanded the availability of its Windows 10 application, adding support for the Xbox One. Although it appears the app is a heavily stripped-down version of the Weibo experience, it sits among the few social networks apps to release for Microsoft's flagship games console.
Although not heavily used in western countries, Weibo is a microblogging service often described as a hybrid of Facebook and Twitter. With existing apps on both Windows 10 desktop and mobile devices, the move to an Xbox One application only feels like a natural progression into Microsoft's ecosystem.
For now, the Weibo application for Xbox One appears to cut back on a huge number of the service's features. Condensing the service down to a timeline and some basic interactions, the user experience differs hugely from existing solutions on other Windows 10 devices. The app's interface doesn't have a huge amount going for it either, with a clunky cursor and thick black border on-screen at all times.
While it might offer the same functionality as other devices, the app is still a relatively easy way to check your Weibo timeline and perform basic tasks on the service. With a majority of western social networks yet to adopt Microsoft's UWP platform or the Xbox One, Weibo's arrival on the system should be a welcome addition to eastern audiences.
If you're looking to download the app, simply search for 'Weibo' on the Xbox Store. However, if you've previously installed the app on other Windows 10 devices, the app will appear under your 'Ready to Install' list in Games & Apps. Will you be picking up Weibo for Xbox One? Make sure to let us know in the comments!

Woman Stabs Children in Kindergarten Rampage Injuring Multiple Students

World Crime School Stabbing Kindergarten
At least 14 children have been injured at their school in southwestern China after a woman launched a knife attack on kindergarten students.
Police have said a 39-year-old woman—whose surname was given as Liu—used a kitchen knife to target the school in the city of Chongqing. The motive for the attack is unclear, though the BBC suggested that reports on social media indicated the woman harbored grievances against the government.
A statement issued by the Chongqing police said the incident occurred at around 9:30 a.m. local time Friday as the children were returning to lessons after morning exercise. Liu was arrested at the scene, police said.
Videos posted to social media showed injured children being led out of the school, some apparently with injuries to their faces. All were sent to nearby hospitals for treatment but there is no information on their condition.
Police denied reports that two students had died, urging social media users to avoid spreading rumors and rely only on official channels of information.
The attacker was subdued by school security and other members of staff, CNN reported. Other footage showed Liu—wearing a red top—surrounded by police as bystanders kicked, punched and shouted at her.
CNN also reported that large crowds of angry residents gathered at the scene in the aftermath of the attack as police began their investigation.
This is the latest in a string of knife attacks on Chinese schools in recent years. For the most part they have been launched by individuals holding some kind of grievance against local officials, individuals or the schools more generally. Unlike in the U.S., China has tight gun control laws meaning would-be attackers usually resort to knives instead.
Last month, a man who killed nine children in a school stabbing spree was executed by firing squad. Zhao Zewei, 28, attacked his former school in the northwestern province of Shaanxi in April, having long held a grudge against the institution where he was bullied as a child.
Zhao armed himself with three knives and waited outside the school gates at the end of the day. As students emerged to head home, he rushed at them and began his assault. In addition to those killed, another 12 were wounded.
In another attack in 2017, a 41-year-old man scaled the wall of a kindergarten in the southern province of Guangxi before stabbing 11 students. None of the children sustained life-threatening injuries.
Chinese authorities were forced to introduce tighter security measures in 2010 after a spate of knife attacks on schools within a month. Strangers were banned from campuses and long metal poles were distributed to security staff to hold attackers back. Citizens were also required to register with the government when buying large knives.

Can you grow berries in Pokemon LeafGreen and firered?
To berry crush you must get the powder jar from the guy who lives in that house next to the guy who tells you what the gym leader badges do in Cerulean city. Go upstairs and go to the far left. Talk to the woman and the option to berry crush will be there. I belive you cannot do it with Emerald. To berry …... Berries in cluster on stalk low to ground, glossy red when ripe, greenish unripe. Herbaceous plant, low to the ground. Leaves alternate, deeply toothed, sometimes 3's, slightly glossy. Rare, in east woods, may have only 3-4 berries.
Easy way to find Berries in Berry Forest In Berry Forest, on Three Island, if you pay close attention to the ground, you can see little dark circles. This means that a berry is located under ground on that spot.
You can't buy PP-restoring items in any shop. My best suggestion would be to go to Three Island and look for Leppa Berries in the forest. You can get Berries by looking for little bumps in the ground.

'How hate crimes laws forced me into exile'
Pro-family activist stages own disappearance
Alyssa Farah About | Email | Archive
Alyssa Farah is a special Washington correspondent for WND.
Brazilian pro-family activist Julio Severo
Julio Severo, a prominent Brazilian pro-family activist, has been forced into exile because of the "hate crimes" laws that are being implemented in his native land, perhaps providing a preview of what Christians can expect in the United States should similar "hate crimes" proposals be implemented.
And several organizations are reporting Congress could begin adopting measures similarly draconian to Brazil's as early as this week.
"It is imperative that we contact all members of the House and demand that they vote against this bill as it will not protect a pastor, Bible teacher, Sunday School teacher, youth leader or anyone else from prosecution if he or she teaches against homosexuality if an individual who hears their message then goes out and commits a crime against a homosexual," wrote Pastor Rick Scarborough of Vision America Action, which as a website link to make that contact.
"Hate crimes laws that include sexual orientation are a bad idea, because they elevate homosexuality to the same status as race and do nothing to prevent violent crimes. All crimes are motivated by hate," said Mathew Staver, chief of Liberty Counsel, which also is alerting people to the congressional plans.
"Hate crimes laws will not be used to punish the perpetrators but will be used to silence people of faith, religious groups, clergy, and those who support traditional moral values," Staver said.
Severo reports he was forced to flee his homeland after federal prosecutors there recently charged him with "homophobia' for his statements about the nation's "Gay" Parade in 2006.
Get "The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom"
Severo told WND that while Brazil does not criminalize Christianity, it does regulate what biblical principles can and cannot be preached, and it bans biblical citations that disapprove of the homosexual lifestyle.
"Brazil grants freedom to preach Christianity, provided that the sermons avoid negative mentions of state-protected behaviors and cultural trends," Severo said. "The Brazilian government is establishing more and more categories of protected behaviors, banning negative mentions. So Brazilian preachers need to get updated on the latest political changes and preach a Gospel according to the state interests."
He said, "Today it is risky to preach a complete Gospel in Brazil. Because of the diversity politics, you cannot say anything negative about witchcraft, especially when such practices are from Africa."
He cited an example of what is happening.
"In Rio, a Pentecostal minister led a criminal to Jesus and convinced him to deliver himself to police. Rev. Isaías da Silva Andrade accompanied the former criminal to police and when they asked how his life had been changed, the minister answered that the former criminal lived under the influence of demons from Afro-Brazilian religions which inspired him to criminal conduct, but now he found salvation in Jesus. Because of this innocent account, Rev. Andrade is now being prosecuted for discrimination against the Afro-Brazilian 'culture'! If condemned, he will serve between two and five years in jail," Severo said.
Severo reported on his blog that prosecutors were working to find him by demanding his address from friends and acquaintances.
So he said he took matters into his own hands to protect himself and his family, as well as his friends, from further discrimination.
'"I was forced to leave the country with my family: a wife in the advanced stages of pregnancy and two little children," he reported on his blog. "We are now in a place that is completely foreign to us. What choice did we have?"
He said Brazil has no law stating that the broadly interpreted "homophobia" – a term used derogatorily against those who choose to follow biblical precepts and not endorse homosexuality – is illegal.
But he said case rulings show that it is considered a crime. In fact, he said Brazil is one of a growing number of countries cracking down on "homophobia."
Severo said an influential homosexual activist attempted to publish his name and contact information, which he believes was an attempt to intimidate him. He said he became alarmed and concerned for his own safety and that of his family.
"Because of the fierce opposition of gay militants and their charges against me, I had limited freedom to appear openly in Brazil," Severo said. "The most important homosexual leader in Brazil tried to publish my complete name, physical address and telephone number, in a stealth way of intimidating me. Yet, even now I have to be careful."
WND has reported that the Obama administration has stated its dedication to strengthening "federal hate crimes legislation" and expanding "hate crimes protection."
Gary Cass of the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission was among those raising the warning of impending "hate crimes" legislation in the United States.
"One of the gravest threats to religious liberty and freedom of speech is proposed hate crime legislation. Even while national attention is focused on the economy and Obama's radical economic and foreign policy, the far left is at work undermining our First Amendment rights at home with hate crime legislation," he said.
"In other countries where these types of laws have been implemented, pastors and Christians have been jailed and fined for their faithful adherence to the Scriptures," he said.
He reported Barney Frank, an openly homosexual congressman, announced Thursday that the House Judiciary Committee will be considering "hate crimes" legislation, H.R. 1913, this week.
"Frank is expecting the committee to pass the bill which would leave it in the House to vote on later this spring, according to a news release issued by Barney Frank on his website last week," Cass said.
As reported earlier by CADC, the bill, H.R. 1913, is named the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act. The bill already had 42 co-sponsors. The bill was introduced into the House on April 2 by U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
"All freedom loving Americans must voice their opposition to this bill. If this bill passes it lays the foundation for censoring Christians. In other countries, like in Canada and Sweden, where these types of hate crime laws have been implemented, pastors and Christians have been jailed and fined for their faithful adherence to biblical values," he said.
Also raising the alarm was the Traditional Values Coalition, where Executive Director Andrea Lafferty said, "the so-called hate crimes bill will be used to lay the legal foundation and framework to investigate, prosecute and persecute pastors, business owners, Bible teachers, Sunday School teachers, youth leaders, Christian counselors, religious broadcasters and anyone else whose actions are based upon and reflect the truths found in the Bible."
The organization warned based on a broad definition of "intimidation," even "a pastor's sermon could be considered 'hate speech' … if heard by an individual who then acts aggressively against persons based on any 'sexual orientation.'"
The organization noted during markup of the plan in a 2007 committee hearing, Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala., admitted that the law would not protect a pastor from prosecution.
Scarborough reported the U.S. plan is to be voted on in the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday.
"Hate crimes laws are actually 'thought crimes' laws that violate the right to freedom of speech and of conscience," warned Liberty Counsel. "Hate crimes laws will have a chilling effect on people who have moral or religious objections to homosexual behavior. Evidence of a person's beliefs will be used against any individuals who are even suspected of criminal activity.
"Hate crimes laws are unnecessary, as criminal laws already provide criminal penalties for the violent crimes," the organization continued. "Additional penalties will subject individuals to scrutiny of their beliefs, rather than focusing on a person's criminal actions, and will do nothing to prevent crime."
Severo said, "If they wish to continue with their absurd acts against me for 'homophobia,' I state that I am no longer in Brazil. Leave my friends in peace."
But that doesn't mean people won't hear from him.
"I will not be silenced. The voice that God gave me will continue to be used to alert Brazil, whether I am in India, Kenya, Nicaragua, or any other country in the world," he said.
The article that originally sparked controversy, in which Severo criticized Brazil's homosexual parade, also urged homosexuals to repent of their behavior and turn to Christianity. The article went on further to suggest that there are links between homosexual organizations and pedophilia.
Some in the U.S. are fighting back, too, including Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas.
He appears in a YouTube video arguing against the earlier plan.
"A large part of this is that many people do not understand the Christian heart," he said. "They just don't like people who disagree with them. The true Christian heart can disagree with people, and still love them deeply," he said.
But the law, Gohmert said, would allow prosecutors to "go after a minister … who says [sexual] relations outside of the marriage of a man and a woman are wrong."
The congressman says if there is a crime, and the suspect says he was inspired by a minister, the preacher suddenly also would be a defendant in the crime.
The video is here:
Tony Perkins of FRC Action also was busy alerting his constituents.
He emphasized that the scenario explained by Gohmert not only is possible but probable.
"How would it happen? A federal 'hate crimes' law prohibiting 'bodily injury' could be construed by
many law enforcement officials and judges to include words that inflict
emotional or psychological distress," he said. "That means an 'offended' homosexual could accuse a religious broadcaster … a pastor … Sunday School teacher … or other individual of causing
emotional injury simply by expressing the biblical view that homosexual
behavior is morally wrong and unhealthy.
"That's all it could take to trigger a wave of federal prosecutions and begin an
era of censorship like America has never seen!" he warned.
Critics have said "hate crimes" laws actually criminalize thought because they demand enhanced penalties because of the "perception" of the victim by the perpetrator. A mugger, for example, who attacks a victim while screaming an epithet denoting a race or sexual preference could get a much more significant penalty than a mugger who attacks a victim but doesn't say anything.
Matt Barber, director of cultural affairs at Liberty Counsel, has spoken out repeatedly in opposition to the idea.
"The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees equal protection under the law," he said. "Hate crimes legislation is … [a] violation of the Fourteenth Amendment in that it elevates one class of citizen based upon their chosen sexual behaviors above other people."
Coral Ridge Ministries, launched by the late D. James Kennedy, has published a book on the issue by John Aman, who says such laws put into doubt "the future of religious liberty and freedom of speech for Christians."

Q: How to find the browser versions from command-line in Linux & Windows? In ubuntu when I just open a terminal and say
"firefox -v" or "konqurer -v"
it prints all the version information.
But, I am not able to find how to go about this for

*

*Chromium on Linux & Windows (7) [Couldn't get to work with this link and this link

*Firefox on Windows (7)

*IE on Windows (7)

Previously on Windows xp executing "someexe.exe /?" used to show help and command line options for that exe. But it doesn't seem to be working for Windows 7. I tried "Chrome.exe /?" and it just starts chrome.
I know how to get it in GUI, but I would like to script it.  How can I do this?

A: It depends on the linux flavor, but if its an RPM-Based OS (RedHat & its darivities mainly)
  rpm -qa | grep browsername

usually does the trick.

A: I know this is a old question but it might help someone. (Donnow about Windows haven't used it in a long time ;)
Chromium and Google Chrome for Linux both have a command line flag to output the version. You can find them like:
google-chrome --product-version

and
chromium-browser --product-version

Many other interesting command line flags here: http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/
Hope it helps. :-)

A: In case anyone is interested in getting the version from Chromium source without building it, it's in this file:
src/chrome/VERSION

and from a compiled chrome, as others mentioned the following works (at least on Ubuntu which I tried)
./chrome --product-version

A: I can't find a version command line switch for Chrome in Windows; in general the command line switches begin with -- rather than a single -, and a good list of known ones appears here: http://www.waltercedric.com/component/content/article/1713.html

A: Per Technet, there is no way to get the IE version from the command line on Windows.  The "-v" switch is UNIX-only.

Nutter How-To Series: Build a Brand
By Patrick J. Concannon and Rory P. Pheiffer and Heather B. Repicky and Derek Roller on 01.01.2017
Introducing a new how-to series about how to build a brand. Please check back periodically for the next article in our on-going series.
Licensing, Logo Protection, and Fair Use – Rounding Out Nutter's How-To Series on Branding
Twelfth in The Series
Nutter's series on building a brand began with the selection of a trademark and the process of formally protecting a mark via trademark registration. More recent articles in the series have addressed policing a brand, proper trademark usage, and brand considerations in the social media environment. This article, the last in the series, focuses on additional post-registration considerations, namely: (1) exploiting your mark through licensing, including important quality control considerations; (2) applying to register branding elements in addition to the core plain text mark to enable more effective policing of your brand's entire commercial impression; and (3) assessing the unauthorized use of your brand by third parties (or using another's mark without authorization) for purposes of determining whether such uses are "fair" or, on the other hand, harmful and actionable.
What to Do Once Your Trademark Registers—The Brand & New Media
Eleventh in The Series
Nutter's series on building a brand began with the selection of a mark and the process of formally protecting it via trademark registration. At this point in the series, the mark is registered and ready for use and investment to elevate it into a brand. One area that can impact your brand is the use of your mark in "new media," such as the Web and social media services. New media works differently than anything that has come before and there is a great deal to consider, from reserving domains and usernames to monitoring use—both your own and others'—across these mediums.

What to Do Once Your Trademark Registers – Avoiding Genericism and Dilution
Tenth in The Series
As discussed in the previous article in Nutter's IP Branding Series, monitoring competitors' use of your marks and marks possibly akin to your marks, and enforcing your rights in your marks against those competitors, is an important aspect of protecting and building your brand. Equally important is policing your own use of the mark, the use of your mark by licensed third parties, and the use of the mark by third parties that are neither competitors nor licensees. The graveyard of brands that were arguably too successful because the brand name became genericised is fraught with lessons to be learned in protecting the use of your mark. Dilution is also a concern, although it is becoming increasingly more difficult to successfully show that your mark is being diluted or tarnished.

What to Do Once Your Trademark Registers—Defensive Monitoring and Enforcement
Ninth in The Series
Our prior article in the series addressed the basics of what to do once your trademark registers, focusing mainly on your own use of the mark and supplemental submissions required to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in connection with your registration. Of course, your mark does not exist in a vacuum, and another category of activities you should undertake once your trademark registers involves monitoring the USPTO and other trademark offices for other potentially confusing or otherwise problematic marks and, where necessary, taking action to defend your mark. We also begin to address enforcing your mark through litigation, a vast topic that will be explored further in future articles.

What to Do Once Your Trademark Registers – The Basics
Eighth in The Series
Following the conclusion of trademark prosecution, your certificate of registration has arrived in the mail. Now what? Over the course of the last three articles in our series, we will tackle this one, not so simple question. While a brand is nothing more than a mark (trademark or service mark) that has done well in life, like life, success comes with a little luck, and plenty of planning. Thus, obtaining the registration is truly just the beginning of your path to building a successful national or global brand. The present article will start with the basics—what you need to do to keep and maintain the trademark(s) you obtain.

Considering Your Brand during Trademark Prosecution
Seventh in The Series
The articles in our May and July editions of the IP Bulletin addressed eight of the most commonly asked questions that arise when completing a U.S. trademark application filing. Once the application has been filed with the USPTO, substantive examination by an examining attorney from the USPTO will commence in due course. In stark contrast to the long waits experienced by patent applicants, the average time between application filing and the issuance of a first Office Action is only 2.8 months at the time of this publication. There are many reasons why an examining attorney may initially reject a trademark application. When building a brand, an applicant should give special consideration to the response strategy before replying to any Office Action.

How to File a Trademark Application: The Guts of a U.S. Trademark Application (Part 2 of 2)
Sixth in The Series
The article in our May edition of the IP Bulletin addressed four of the eight most commonly asked questions that arise when completing a U.S. trademark application filing. More particularly, we considered the trademark application form that should be used, the classes of goods or services to include in the application, the items included in the description of goods and services, and appropriate and acceptable specimen of use to be included as part of the application. The other four most commonly asked questions are tackled in this article, including: (5) should I include color or design features as part of my trademark application; (6) what is my filing basis; (7) what is my date of first use; and (8) what other considerations should I be making when preparing my U.S. trademark application?

Fifth in The Series
This fifth installment of Nutter's continuing series on building a brand focuses on the essentials of filing a U.S. Trademark Application. The four commonly asked questions addressed in this article are: (1) what trademark application form should I use; (2) what classes of goods or services should I include in my application; (3) how do I decide what items I should include in my description of goods and services; and (4) what is an appropriate and acceptable specimen of use? Questions pertaining to color and design features, filing basis, dates for first use, and other considerations that should be made when preparing a U.S. trademark application will be included in our July edition.

Where to File a Trademark Application: A Territorial Question
Fourth in The Series
Once you've checked off the five "Cs" and decided on the trademark you want to protect as part of building your brand, you next must decide where you want to file for protection. You see, even though Thomas Friedman has been driving the globalization "Lexus" since before the 21st century, and the reaches of the geography-obliterating, all-encompassing Internet and Mother Web connects Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, trademark rights themselves remain territorial. A single trademark application will not provide global property rights. This fourth article of Nutter's branding series explores a trademark applicant's various options regarding where to file a trademark application.

Five "Cs" to Check-Off Your List Before You Decide on Trademarks
Third in The Series
This third installment of Nutter's continuing series on building a brand focuses on considerations you should undertake before finalizing your selection of trademarks to build your brand. Before filing, consider taking the following five preliminary steps: (1) coordinate your efforts; (2) construct your trademark strategy; (3) conceive the overall design; (4) conduct a preliminary search; and (5) consider contacting an intellectual property professional. If you follow the five "Cs," you can reduce the chances of finding yourself back at the drawing board coming up with a new idea for a trademark.

What is a Brand?
First in The Series
Branding is often an important part of commercial success for a company, product, or line of products. However, there is often confusion surrounding how to go about identifying potential brand names, selecting the best one, protecting that name, and enforcing protective rights to avoid losing the brand's unique association with the product. In a series of articles in the next several IP Bulletins, Nutter will address these various legal aspects of branding. Today, we start at the beginning with a discussion of what a brand is, and how it relates to the legal world of trade and service marks.

New USPTO P3 Program for After Final Office Actions Is Useful Hybrid of Pre-Appeal and AFCP Programs
By Rory P. Pheiffer on 08.09.2016
Posted in Patents, Rules and Regulations
The Post-Prosecution Pilot Program, dubbed "P3" by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), offers applicants a new, and arguably improved, path through the after-final landscape. P3 provides applicants the opportunity to orally present proposed amendments or arguments to a panel of examiners after a final rejection has been issued but before filing a notice of appeal. As the USPTO's latest rollout under the Enhanced Patent Quality Initiative, P3 incorporates effective features of the existing Pre-Appeal Brief Conference Pilot program (Pre-Appeal) and the After Final Consideration Pilot 2.0 program (AFCP). Applicants should consider taking advantage of this no-fee program to make their case for allowance, propose non-broadening amendments, and receive feedback from a larger pool of examiners prior to filling a notice of appeal or Request for Continued Examination (RCE).

Five Programs to Speed up Patent Prosecution
Posted in Patents
Long delays at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) can be frustrating and detrimental to a company. What options exist to speed up patent prosecution? Rory Pheiffer, a partner in Nutter's Intellectual Property Department, analyzes five programs that can accelerate patent prosecution in the piece "Getting on the Patent Fast Track While Keeping Competitors in the Rearview Mirror."

New Website Provides Useful Examiner Data for Free
A website recently launched that aggregates individual examiner data in real-time to provide practitioners with information they may find helpful in determining prosecution strategies that may be effective in achieving allowance before a particular examiner. The website, known as Examiner Ninja, allows a user to look-up data about any examiner at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The website presents data about allowance rates when various prosecution strategies are utilized, and also provides data about how quickly an examiner takes particular types of action during prosecution. The data is provided for each examiner, and each individual examiner's data is compared to the same data for all examiners in that particular examiner's art unit, and to all examiners at the USPTO.

Supreme Court Ruling on at Least Five Patent-Related Cases
Posted in Litigation, Patents, Post-Grant Proceedings
To date, the Supreme Court has granted certiorari (commonly referred to as cert) to five patent-related cases this term, which will result in three oral arguments likely to be decided before the end of the term. Two of the cases were consolidated into a single argument, while another case was subject to a Grant-Vacate-and-Remand (GVR) order, meaning the previous decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) has been vacated by the Supreme Court and the case must be reconsidered by the CAFC. There are also over 20 pending Petitions for Writ of Certiorari, which may result in additional patent matters being heard by the Court this term.

Actual Notice Requirement Presents Challenge for Collecting Pre-Issuance Damages
By Rory P. Pheiffer and Alex Nagorniy on 02.22.2016
Posted in Litigation, Patents, Rules and Regulations
Most patent owners are aware that under 35 U.S.C. § 154(d), publication of a United States patent application confers provisional rights to the patent owner. The provisional rights allow an owner to collect damages for infringement of issued claims dating back to the date of publication provided that the claims are substantially similar to the claims that are included in the published application. It can often be difficult for a patent owner to prove that issued claims are substantially similar to published claims. However, even if a patent owner is able to prove claim similarity from publication to issuance, a further obstacle to collect pre-issuance damages was solidified by the Federal Circuit recently in Rosebud LMS v. Adobe Systems—the statutory requirement of actual notice. In the recent Federal Circuit decision, the Court found that constructive notice was insufficient to meet the actual notice requirement under 35 U.S.C. § 154(d), and that instead a patent owner must prove the infringer was actually aware of the patent at issue.

Federal Circuit Affirms High Standard to Find Patentee Disclaimer
In a decision likely to be lauded by patent applicants and owners, the Federal Circuit recently issued an opinion that affirms its staunch position that the bar to prove a patent owner made a disclaimer that impacts the claim scope is high. The opinion provides some useful quotes that prosecutors and litigators representing applicants and owners will likely be interested in calling upon when presenting argument against assertions that a previously taken position amounts to a disclaimer or disavowal by the applicant/owner.

Had Your Fill of Turkey? How about a Side of Patent Petitions Data?
Now that our readers have had their fill of turkey and all the fixings, they can gorge on an abundance of patent petitions data. Earlier this year, Director of the USPTO Michelle Lee announced a new public, user-friendly tool to obtain information about the abundance and success rate of petitions of every nature. The information generally includes:
The average number of days a petition is pending before a decision is made;
The grant rate for a petition; and
The office within the USPTO that makes the decision on the petition.

Two Paths for Faster Appeals at PTAB – One for All Applicants; the Other for Small Entities
Earlier this fall the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) announced the "Streamlined, Expedited Patent Appeal Pilot for Small Entities" program (the Streamlined, Expedited program), which allows small and micro entities to expedite a single ex parte patent appeal pending before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (Board). In order to take advantage of this program, a patent applicant must:
Be a small or micro entity appellant;
Have only a single ex parte patent appeal pending before the Board as of September 18, 2015;
Have no claim involved in the appeal that can be subject to a rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 112;
For each ground of rejection that is applied to more than one claim, select a single claim as representative and only discuss that claim in the appeal for that ground;
Agree to waive any requested oral hearing; and
Acknowledge that any oral hearing fees paid in connection with the appeal will not be refunded.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Third Party Preissuance Submissions
Summary: While the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA) brought sweeping changes to the United States patent system, including moving to a first-to-file system and implementing and modifying a number of post-grant proceeding options, one less heralded change is the expansion of the third party preissuance submission process, by which a third party can submit prior art references in a pending U.S. patent application for consideration by the examiner. The revised preissuance submission process is significantly more robust and accessible than its pre-AIA counterpart. Key features of the process such as low cost, anonymity, and preclusion from estoppels make it a potentially attractive tool for challenging pending applications. However, a third party's participation in the patent prosecution process is still limited and the submitted references may even inadvertently strengthen any patent that issues from the application in which the submission is filed. Accordingly, third parties should carefully consider the limitations and risks associated with the process before filing a preissuance submission.

Q: R Split String With Parenthesis DATA = data.table("COL1"=c("(1.12,3)", "(5.4,7)", "(-9,12)", "(0.4,7)"),
                  "CAT"=c(1.12, 5.4, -9, 0.4),
                  "FOX"=c(3, 7, 12, 7))

I wish to split COL1 into CAT and FOX but not to keep parenthesis
Here is what I try:
DATA[, c("CAT1", "FOX1") := tstrsplit(COL1, ",", fixed=TRUE)]

I seek data.table approach

A: Here is a data.table approach:
new_animals = c("CAT_new", "FOX_new")
DATA[, (new_animals) := tstrsplit(substr(COL1, 2L, nchar(COL1) - 1L), ",", fixed = TRUE)]
DATA[, (new_animals) := lapply(.SD, as.numeric), .SDcols = new_animals]
DATA

#       COL1   CAT   FOX CAT_new FOX_new
#     <char> <num> <num>   <num>   <num>
#1: (1.12,3)  1.12     3    1.12       3
#2:  (5.4,7)  5.40     7    5.40       7
#3:  (-9,12) -9.00    12   -9.00      12
#4:  (0.4,7)  0.40     7    0.40       7

Basically, this says we do not want the first and last character of the string. Then we want to convert those tstrsplit() outputs into a numeric type.

A: Using regex :
library(data.table)
DATA[, c('CAT1', 'FOX1') := list(sub('\\((-?\\d+(?:\\.\\d+)?),.*', '\\1', COL1),
                                 sub('.*,(\\d+)\\)', '\\1', COL1))]

DATA
#       COL1   CAT FOX CAT1 FOX1
#1: (1.12,3)  1.12   3 1.12    3
#2:  (5.4,7)  5.40   7  5.4    7
#3:  (-9,12) -9.00  12   -9   12
#4:  (0.4,7)  0.40   7  0.4    7

The first one captures the numbers before the comma and the second one captures after comma. Since in the first part we can have numbers without decimal places I have used non-capturing group with optional characters.

A: You can use tstrsplit in the data.table package as follows:
cols <- c("CAT1", "FOX1")
DATA[, (cols) := tstrsplit(gsub("\\(|\\)", "", COL1), ",", type.convert = TRUE)]

#        COL1   CAT   FOX  CAT1  FOX1
# 1: (1.12,3)  1.12     3  1.12     3
# 2:  (5.4,7)  5.40     7  5.40     7
# 3:  (-9,12) -9.00    12 -9.00    12
# 4:  (0.4,7)  0.40     7  0.40     7

I think as anyone in a job, once you reach a level, you like to push on further to perfect your skills. In makeup, the opportunities are boundless. I am always looking for ways to create the perfect skin for all my clients. Airbrush makeup is going to bring me up a notch.
Airbrush makeup is makeup sprayed onto the skin using an airbrush gun instead of being applied with sponges, brushes, fingers, or other methods. It used to be only used in creative makeup in the film industry but has grown popular with the advert for high definition TV and camera.
I love the coverage especially on acne skin as I do not need to pile on lots of concealer yet achieve a smooth finish. I am really liking this.
More details on Airbrush makeup in my blog Airbrush post here.
What else to look out in 2014.
I will be going to London and Iceland in April. Initially I was reluctant to fight the cold weather but who am I to reject the warm invitation of my bridal couple and I will be traveling with the best company ever – Joe from Acapella Photography. We had a blast in New Zealand last year and we are looking forward to this trip again. I didn't get to go London last year, this makes up for it. The museum, the park and the shopping.
And Bali is waiting for me in June. I am still available for travel in August so do contact me if you are interested to do overseas pre-wedding. The early the better so my weekends are free to travel or else if I am booked for jobs on weekends, I could not travel for long distance.
I am still in discussion to come up with a comprehensive course for aspiring makeup artists. I have been to a number of makeup schools and teachers in Taiwan and Singapore and I know what are important to students starting out on a career. With my partner, we will fuse our experiences and provide the most comprehensive outline for aspiring makeup artists without having to walk and tumbled through pit holes like how we did.

While we won't have our recent poll tabulated on AMD/Intel preference until early next week, early results indicate that people on the whole would rather have an AMD processor next go-round.
Well, they ought to wait a bit longer.
As another Inquirer article recently pointed out, the real deal isn't supposed to show up until early next year.
I dunno, unless you're an overclocker who has lots of excess electrictiy to get off your hands in the fall, wouldn't you rather have a CPU that "will dramatically drop voltage and wattage consumed," especially if you're overclocking it?
If I had to bet, I would say this would be K8L, likely with another IBM SOI bailout, and arrival will be early Q2.

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
Diseases Treated
Sjogren's Syndrome
Crystalline Arthritis is a term used to describe arthritic disorders characterized by small crystals that are present in joints and soft tissues.
These crystals can trigger episodes of severe inflammation, and can lead to destructive arthritis or premature degenerative arthritis over time.
The most common causes of crystalline arthritis are gout, and CPPD arthropathy (generally termed "pseudogout").
Gout is caused by chronically elevated levels of uric acid. The uric acid eventually forms crystals which can deposit in many different joints but most commonly in the lower extremities and other distal joints. Often times, severe attacks of arthritis occur which can be quite debilitating. If the crystals are present in high numbers they can lead to accumulations of crystals called tophi which can deform or destroy joints. Gout is usually treated with medications to lower uric acid levels and to treat episodes of inflammation, and often times dietary and lifestyle changes can assist in the recovery. This condition is very treatable with many options available.
CPPD arthropathy (calcium phyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disorder) often presents as "pseudogout" with severe attacks of inflammation and demonstration of a CPPD crystal in the joint and/or soft tissues. CPPD arthropathy is unique in that it can be associated with metabolic disorders that rheumatologists are able to rule in or out with clinical examination, and x-ray / laboratory studies. This condition can be associated with premature osteoarthritis in unusual locations. The crystals themselves cannot be removed, but the crystals do not form large masses and the disease itself is usually quite manageable after diagnosis.
