A test detects 14 types of cancer in early stages with a blood test
One of the main challenges in the fight against cancer is early detection. When a tumor is located in an organ, the chances of long-term survival are multiplied. However, the need for invasive tests to detect many types of cancer, their cost, and the risk of generating false positives mean there is still a lot of room for improvement. One of the alternatives that have been developed in recent years are liquid biopsies, a type of blood test that allows the detection of tumor DNA released into the bloodstream by tumors that are still invisible.
However, these tests only achieve a sensitivity of around 10% in the earliest phase of cancer, when it has not left the organ of origin, and there are tumors such as brain tumors that escape these tests. Also, some types of cancer do not release detectable levels of DNA. A recent study estimated that some 12 types of tumors produce an adequate signal, but leave 30 of the most frequent, which cause 50% of the cases and a third of the deaths from cancer in the world, outside the scope of these tests. Finally, there are doubts about the true prognosis of tumors detected by current liquid biopsies, leaving the possibility that these tests produce unnecessary diagnoses that do more harm than good. To combat this last weakness, one of the measures used has been the combination of tests.

Today, Magazine PNAS publishes the results of a study testing the potential of a new class of biomarkers that could improve the chances that various types of cancer can be detected at an early stage in the near future with just a blood or urine test . In a proof of concept, urine and blood plasma samples from 1,260 volunteers were used to analyze the levels of glycosaminoglycans, molecules that can be related to the presence of 14 types of cancer.
As the authors explain, this method was able to raise the sensitivity to tumors in its first phase from the previous 10% to 62%. In addition, it made it possible to predict the location of the tumors with an accuracy of 89%. Another factor highlighted in the article about the new method is that it would cost around $50 per test, between five and ten times less than those that look for tumor DNA circulating in the blood, as liquid biopsies now do.

Francesco Gatto, a researcher at the Karolinska Institute (Sweden) and lead author of the study, explains that there are still steps to be taken for this type of test to reach routine medical practice. "The next step is to confirm it in a sample of more than 10,000 participants to see the setting in which it would make the most sense to use it and before being approved for the detection of many types of cancer, larger studies would be necessary, with 100,000 participants," says Gatto. The researcher believes that this type of test would make more sense in people "with a high risk of cancer, someone who is over 55 years old or with a family history of cancer." Finally, the researcher believes that these analyzes could be combined with those that look for DNA. "The same blood sample could be used to test for glycosaminoglycans and genomic markers. […] The combined capacity could be enough to become a unique screening system", he concludes.

To bring this type of liquid biopsy to the market to detect various types of cancer at an early stage, in 2017, Gatto founded together with Jens Nielsen, who also signs this work in PNASthe company elypta. That company achieved €21 million in a financing round last June to commercialize this type of test. If these biopsies end up fulfilling what they promise, cancer mortality could be reduced by up to 15%, according to a study Prepared by a team from the Grail company, which also develops this type of test.

Q: Copy row values of Data Frame along rows till not null and replicate the consecutive not null value further I have a Dataframe as shown below
   A   B   C      D
0  1   2   3.3   4
1 NaT NaN NaN NaN
2 NaT NaN NaN NaN
3  5   6   7      8
4 NaT NaN NaN NaN
5 NaT NaN NaN NaN
6  9   1   2      3
7 NaT NaN NaN NaN
8 NaT NaN NaN NaN

I need to copy the first row values (1,2,3,4) till the non-null row with index 2. Then, copy row values (5,6,7,8) till the non-null row with index 5 and copy (9,1,2,3) till row with index 8 and so on. Is there any way to do this in Python or Pandas. Quick help appreciated!  Also is necessary not replace column D
Column C ffill gives 3.3456 as value for next row
Expected Output:
 A B C     D
0 1 2 3.3 4
1 1 2 3.3 NaN
2 1 2 3.3 NaN
3 5 6 7 8
4 5 6 7 NaN
5 5 6 7 NaN
6 9 1 2 3
7 9 1 2 NaN
8 9 1 2 NaN

A: Question was changed, so for forward filling all columns without D use Index.difference with ffill for columns names in list:
cols = df.columns.difference(['D'])

df[cols] = df[cols].ffill()

Or create mask for all columns names without D:
mask = df.columns != 'D'

df.loc[:, mask] = df.loc[:, mask].ffill()

EDIT: I cannot replicate your problem:
df = pd.DataFrame({'a':[2114.201789, np.nan, np.nan, 1]})

print (df)
             a
0  2114.201789
1          NaN
2          NaN
3     1.000000

print (df.ffill())
             a
0  2114.201789
1  2114.201789
2  2114.201789
3     1.000000

Tag: Fraud. Showing results 1 - 10 of 30
4:44pm, Wednesday 29 January 2020
National Party leader Simon Bridges maintains that he was not involved with the National Party donations that resulted in the Serious Fraud Office laying charges. In a statement the SFO says, The Serious Fraud Office filed criminal charges today against four people in relation to donations paid into a National Party electorate bank account. The defendants are scheduled to appear in the Auckland District Court on 25 February. The SFO will not make any further comment until any name suppression issues have been dealt with. This is part of an investigation triggered by former National MP Jami-Lee Matenga Ross releasing phone recordings of a conversation he had with Simon Bridges regarding the allocation of donations received by the National Party. Te Ao Māori News reached out to the SFO to confirm if Bridges was one of the four and they refused to comment beyond their statement. Efforts to reach Jamie-Lee Matenga Ross have been unsuccessful so far.

Q: Pause and Resume a For-Loop in C# I'm working on a windows App in C#, I have a for-loop which update something in a loop, and I have 3 buttons on the form named "Stop,Pause,Resume". So the purpose is as same as the buttons named. Does anyone know how to do this?
Here is the Loop
    private void btnCompleteAuto_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        setGeneralValue();
        for (int i = 1; i <= autoGridView.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
        {
            if (SRP == "Pause") // this is what I was thinking but it won't work
            {                   // it will step into end-less loop
              do                // how to stop this loop on "Resume" button click
              {

              }while(SRP!="Resume")

            }
            car = false;
            try
            {
                MemberID = Convert.ToInt64(autoGridView.Rows[0].Cells["Member_ID"].Value);
                DispID = Convert.ToString(autoGridView.Rows[0].Cells["Disp_Id"].Value);
                Mobile = Convert.ToString(autoGridView.Rows[0].Cells["Mobile"].Value);
                DueDate = Convert.ToString(autoGridView.Rows[0].Cells["Due_Date"].Value);

            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Row Not Found");
            }

            AutoRecharge(network_name, pack_name, Mobile, Mobile, Convert.ToString(autoGridView.Rows[0].Cells["Rck_Amt"].Value), vendor_id, vendor_pwd, pack_id, oxinetwork_id);
            autoGridView.Rows.RemoveAt(0);
        }
    }

Here are the 3 button events in which I'm setting a variable
    private void btnPause_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        SRP = "Pause";
    }

    private void btnStop_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        SRP = "Stop";
        autoGridView.DataSource = "";
    }

    private void btnResume_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        SRP = "Resume";
    }

A: The reason this doesn't work as you expect is this:
A Windows Forms application uses a single UI thread, which continually processes incoming messages from a queue. Any event handlers you attach to the events of a Windows Forms control get sent to this queue and processed by the UI thread as quickly as possible.
Your btnCompleteAuto_Click is one such handler. Once it starts, nothing else will be processed by the UI thread until it exits. Thus any other handlers you attach to other events (btnPause_Click, btnStop_Click, etc.) must wait their turn, as they will run on the same (UI) thread.
If you want pause/resume functionality, this has to be achieved on a separate thread.
A possible way to implement it might be to use a BackgroundWorker, as suggested by saurabh.
Here is a rough sketch of what your updated code might look like (I have not even attempted to compile this, let alone debug it; it's intended only as a basic outline of how you might accomplish this functionality).
You need to be aware, however, that accessing UI controls directly from a non-UI thread is a no-no. Use a mechanism such as the BackgroundWorker.ProgressChanged event to handle any UI updates that you need to happen based on activity on a non-UI thread.
ManualResetEvent _busy = new ManualResetEvent(false);

private void btnCompleteAuto_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!backgroundWorker.IsBusy)
    {
        _busy.Set();
        btnAutoCompleteAuto.Text = "Pause";
        backgroundWorker.RunWorkerAsync();
    }
    else
    {
        _busy.Reset();
        btnAutoCompleteAuto.Text = "Resume";
    }

    btnStop.Enabled = true;
}

private void btnStop_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    _busy.Set();
    backgroundWorker.CancelAsync();
}

private void backgroundWorker_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
    // for (something)
    // {

        _busy.WaitOne();

        if (backgroundWorker.CancellationPending)
        {
            return;
        }

        // Do your work here.

    // }
}

private void backgroundWorker_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    _busy.Reset();
    btnAutoCompleteAuto.Text = "Start";
    btnStop.Enabled = false;
}

A: After Reading your actual requirement in our comment , i would suggest that use Background worker class which supports cancellation of running process.

Q: How can I put .aux files in separate folder using a command inside TexWorks? I am using TexWorks and I need to put all help files produced by Latex into a subfolder relative to the folder where I have my master .tex file. On these StackExchange pages there are answers to this question, but only for people using a command line  for latexing their .tex files. But I am using TexWorks, and do nok know how I can add such commands there.
My question is, can I put some command code into the "Arguments" window for pdflatex ? The two pictures below shows the location of the "Arguments" window.
To get the processing tools window in Texworks (picture 1): Edit/Preferences.../Typesetting tab

To get the "Tool Configuration" window in Texworks: in the Processing tools window, press "pdflatex"

A: In the below screenshot you can see how I configured Texworks to put aux files into the directory "test". The command to add is -aux-directory=.\test or any other directory. You have to create the directory manually, I think.

Big Data, the Internet of Anything (IoAT) and the Connected Car have created a new Information Superhighway that fundamentally changes the relationship between automakers and drivers. Previously, automakers had an incomplete feedback loop after they sold a vehicle but the connected car has changed all of that. Now, automakers can establish a complete feedback from each vehicle that can constantly send sensor data from each car on how it is driven, how it responds to driving conditions, and how it might be improved in future models.
Another key factor will be security. Automakers must secure vehicular data as it flows from connected cars to its final destination.
At the upcoming Automotive Cyber Security SummitI will be speaking about how Hortonworks delivers both speed and security with a Modern Data Platform for the Connected Vehicle.

And I've been charged deposit on cans/bottles of pop/juice/etc. Uh, can I take these back to the store? Or is it an incentive program for the shopping-cart crowd?
Saturday night/Sunday morning I looked up from the balcony, and as the clouds flew by, I could see stars. Not the Ben Mulroney Show variety, but actual masses of incandescent gas far, far away. Not as many as I would've seen in Kirkland Lake if it hadn't been cloudy, but the lack of tall buildings and diminished light pollution made the sky a more inspiring sight than I ever saw looking up from midtown Toronto. Now I'm wondering if my 1979-vintage National Geographic star chart got pitched or packed.
Quick plug, unrelated to any of this: if your computer will support it, get Google Earth. Seriously, it's funnn.
Beautiful flowers delivered to me at work today, on my birthday, from way out in Halifax!
Now, Scott: get back to work. We've just leared that Tom Cruise has knocked-up Katie Holmes. Please dispatch a counter-cult crew to Beverly Hills immediately.


BEACH is the go-to place for employability advice in Brighton & Hove targeting young people who have also been the driving force behind the service from the outset. The city brought together a group of school students to discuss employability skills, employers' expectations and barriers to getting a job, and as a result produced a short film. The students then interviewed potential employers around Brighton & Hove to explore employment opportunities and ways to increase their chances of getting a job. All this culminated in a collection of film clips, accessible advice and information available on the BEACH website, which is targeted at students but also used by parents and as a resource for teachers.
This project was awarded the 'EUROCITIES Awards' in 2013 in the following category: Smart jobs.
Like many cities, Brighton & Hove is faced with above average youth unemployment. The city began developing the website in 2011 in response to a legislation change ('raising the participation age'). This calls for young people to remain in learning (full time school, apprenticeship or employment with training) until the academic year in which they turn 17, and from summer 2015, until their 18th birthday. Brighton & Hove wants to equip its young people with the right skills and knowledge to help them enter the workplace.
The website aims to improve young people's employment prospects and reduce the number of young people not in employment, education or training (NEET). To keep talent in the city, young people worked specifically with employers from Brighton & Hove's growth sectors.
In the first development phase the city brought together a group of students to discuss employability skills and expectations. Next, the students interviewed employers from Brighton & Hove's main employment sectors to find out what they were looking for and what opportunities are out there. Clips from these interviews can be found in the 'meet some employers' section of the website. Once the ground work was done, the students brought together the information they had collected and worked with web developers to create the website.
The process also helps engage local employers in young people's training and development. The BEACH website is used as a teaching resource within schools, but is also accessed independently by students and parents.
A dedicated 'BEACH patrol' is responsible for the marketing and dissemination of the website. This is a group of students selected each year to act as ambassadors for BEACH. They travel to job fairs, present in school assemblies and at parents' evenings and are responsible for developing a marketing plan to increase awareness of BEACH.
BEACH was developed on a budget of €20,000 using grant money allocated to Brighton & Hove by the department for education to support the implementation of the 'raising the participation age' policy.
Some services were provided free of charge, such as venue hire and contributors' time, so the majority of the budget went on film making and web development.
The process began in December 2011 and the website was launched in September 2012. Since then, the BEACH patrol is working towards promoting the website within schools and intends to carry out a survey among teachers to measure the impact BEACH has had on individual schools.
All of Brighton & Hove's nine secondary schools are using BEACH as a teaching resource, although only six are actively involved in the website's development. The city is encouraging the remaining three schools to get involved. The plan now is to hold another employer event with a different group of students to develop new videos for BEACH, with the help of local university students studying digital media.
The model is easily replicable in other cities, and has already grabbed the attention of other local authorities. The site includes an 'about BEACH' section so cities can find out how the website was developed. A similar site called Take Off is currently under developement in the Gatwick Diamond area.

Raw Honey Benefits: How Is It Different Than Regular Honey?
Honey is the most commonly used product, can be easily found in our home. It is a thick, sweet syrup has several properties and health benefits. It's hard to choose the right honey for your family when you're running through the grocery store. There's a debate which one is better Raw or Regular. Some find raw is better while others see no difference between the two.
However, as a health-conscious consumer what's MORE IMPORTANT to note is, that whichever honey we are consuming, it is 100% pure and is not adulterated with corn or rice syrup. With the growing concern around adulteration, FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) had picked the samples of leading honey brands, as published in DNA article, to conduct a check if they are adulterated with corn syrups or rice syrups. After the test FSSAI has proposed some changes in norms which clearly implies that some of those brands were doing Rice/ corn or similar artificially made sugar syrup adulteration. Earlier, the FSSAI norms didn't have any criteria on added sugar syrups in honey, and companies have used those loopholes to do adulteration in honey.
The rice syrup used for adulteration has similar texture and color which is impossible to identify in home-based test methods. This adulteration can only be ruled out with laboratory equipment and technical expertise. Before knowing whether Raw or Regular is better for health, it's most important to find out whether it's 100% pure. Honey is effective only when it's 100% pure. If your honey is adulterated with Rice Syrup, it will not be effective in weight management.
It's not easy to choose 100% pure honey when millions of options available in the market. As screening criteria, look for brands honey that falls in the Rs. 500-600 range per kg. There's a high probability that these might be pure as pure honey is costly and is not available at cheap rates. If some honey brands are found to beat more affordable prices, that may be because they are adulterated with artificially made syrup. Secondly, check out the brand websites, whether they are performing the test for zero rice syrup addition and are qualifying or not. Only a few brands can talk about Rice Syrup addition to the public openly. These tips will help you to choose the 100% pure honey for your family. I've recently come across the brand Zandu Honey who disclose the addition test reports about Rice and Corn syrup to their customers on their website.
Now, Let's check out Raw Honey Benefits: How Is It Different Than Regular Honey?
Honey that straight comes from the beehive is raw honey. It is unheated, unpasteurized, unprocessed honey. It is poured straight into the bottle, bypassing processing methods.
On the other hand, Regular honey is processed honey prepared after pasteurization and filtration. This process makes honey smoother, increases its shelf life, removes impurities. Some honey undergoes ultrafiltration that destroys its beneficial nutrients, and some may add sugar syrup to reduce its costs.
It is more nutritious and contains a wide variety of nutrients, 22 amino acids, minerals, enzymes, and vitamins. But since it is unfiltered, it may contain extrinsic bee particles, bee wax, etc. These usually are available in villages procured from beekeepers directly.
It helps reduce risk factors for heart disease like blood pressure and cholesterol.
It has antiviral and antifungal properties.
It doesn't ferment in the stomach and used for indigestion.
It effectively relieves nausea and supplies energy.
It doesn't have added sugar or sweeteners.
It contains little to no pollen.No doubt pollen are good for health however if pollen content is more it leads to crystallization in honey. That is why you must have noticed that sometimes honey gets crystallized during winters due to high pollen content.
It may contain antibiotics. But post breakdown of FSSAI on Indian honey brands in 2004, they have to follow a prescribed limit.
It may cause narrowing of the blood vessels only if honey you are using is adulterated and not 100% pure.
It may have hidden sugars or sweeteners. Some of the brands are selling adulterated honey at low rates. They contain sugar or other sweeteners like rice syrup or corn syrup.
We are mostly dependent on regular honey as raw honey is not readily available. Also, they are usually not filtered and contains extrinsic matters and are not soothing to mouth. Choosing the right honey for your family is difficult as most of the honey available adulterated via sugar or corn syrup. Hence research and choose your honey wisely if you are really looking for the benefits when you are consuming it. The screening criteria I have suggested above can help you find 100% pure honey.

Honey has loads of benefits… I do include honey into my skincare and haircare routin too. But it is important to choose the right raw honey to get the most advantages out of it.
We usually choose products by name or packaging and do not research on the ingredients. Some of us don't even look at the ingredients list of any products. Thanks for sharing difference between raw and regular honey. This was much needed!
Thanks for sharing this, it is really important to know the adulterated honey and differentiate between pure and adulterated ones. Never knew that crystallization is due to pollens.
We love honey .Most of our home baked goodies have organic honey. This is a very eye opening post.
This is a wonderful post. I never before this gave any thought to raw honey and regular honey.
Honestly, I only thought honey can be used for health benefits when added in warm water. But never knew there are two different kinds of honey. Thanks a lot for this post.
I never know so many benefits of raw honey.. The benefits of honey are most pronounced when it is replacing another, unhealthier sweetener.
Honey is so healthy and i believe we must eplace sugar with honey in our Desserts,etc and live a healthy life.
Thanks this was pretty useful and I wasnt aware about the adulteration.
Now a days finding pure raw honey is really difficult . But raw honey has loads of health benefits..
Honey is really great for everyone, and I have added Honey to my kid's diet too. I have seen White honey and It was unimaginably good.
I love honey for the benefits that it offers. Thanks for sharing your tips on finding the pure honey. It is quite helpful.
Oh yes, yes. I completely agree with you. Even we don't buy the honey we get in the stores, the branded ones. We go for the raw ones that people take directly.
Organic honey is not easy to find. This looks like a good advice Will be trying out what you advice definitely.
Super insight. I did not know that there is a difference between normal honey and raw honey. Will check out next time while buying.
OMG, this is something I got to know for the first time. I substitute sugar with honey and jaggery most of the times but never knew whether I'm using the real one or not. Thank you for the information, any tips to choose the right honey?
Thank you for letting know the differences between raw and regular honey. Will definitely try raw honey once.
Thanks for the informative post. Its really scary to know about the dark side of the honey business.
i did not know so many things about honey. love the detailed informative post..
I prefer honey for my throat issues. I add it to a glass a warm water with lemon when a cold virus hits me.
It also works as a cough suppressant. Ever since I gave up sugar, honey has taken its place and I find its benefits working on me.
I hadn't a clue about the difference between raw honey and regular honey. All I knew were few tests to check the purity of honey.
I prefer honey to sugar in nimbu paani, and sometimes even in my cup of green tea (although mostly, prefer the latter without any kind of sweetener).
Thanks for the informative post. Will try out raw honey next time.
Getting pure honey is so very difficult. We have many times tried getting honey from places where it's available easily still in no way we could know that what we were getting was real raw honey or the regular market one. Thanks for sharing various factors which can be considered while screening honey.
This is indeed very useful information to me. I give a little quantity of turmeric and honey paste to my daughter in the morning as per doctor's advise as she is allergic to dust and other things and is asthmatic. Very informative and useful.
This is a fabulous post and I am so glad i came across this. The benefits of raw honey are immense and I'm glad you confirmed them!
Organic honey is so rare to find. This is indeed a very useful piece of information.
Till date I prefer honey and ginger juice for my kids whenever they catch cold and cough. Even I prefer to have my hot water with honey every morning.
Thank you for sharing this information. I thought the crystal formation is due to sugar getting settled..
Hi… Can you please mention a few brands which have organic and raw honey . Completely clueless. Pls help.
I love honey with my lukewarm lemon water. This post is very useful because I didn't know raw honey is more useful than a regular one.


Recognizing the fact that children of incarcerated parents are often ignored by law enforcement and faced with teachers and foster care workers ignorant to their situations or untrained in how to best handle them, the San Francisco Children of Incarcerated Parents Partnership (SFCIPP) developed a Bill of Rights for Children of Incarcerated Parents to outline eight basic rights to which every child is entitled. These include the right to be kept safe and informed at the time of the parent's arrest; the right to speak with, see, and touch the parent; and the right to be well cared for in the parent's absence.
In addition, it's extremely challenging to measure how many police departments have actually created and enforced effective methods for keeping children safe and informed. In 2014, the International Association of Chiefs of Police released a report outlining protocol for safeguarding children at the time of arrest. How many police departments have adopted these protocols remains unknown. Ann Adalist-Estrin, director of the National Resource Center on Children and Families of the Incarcerated at Rutgers University, has seen some police departments in large cities using the document but knows that many smaller departments haven't even heard of it.

In the final article of this module, we'll look at arrays — a neat way of storing a list of data items under a single variable name. Here we look at why this is useful, then explore how to create an array, retrieve, add, and remove items stored in an array, and more besides.
Arrays are generally described as "list-like objects"; they are basically single objects that contain multiple values stored in a list. Array objects can be stored in variables and dealt with in much the same way as any other type of value, the difference being that we can access each value inside the list individually, and do super useful and efficient things with the list, like loop through it and do the same thing to every value. Maybe we've got a series of product items and their prices stored in an array, and we want to loop through them all and print them out on an invoice, while totaling all the prices together and printing out the total price at the bottom.
If we didn't have arrays, we'd have to store every item in a separate variable, then call the code that does the printing and adding separately for each item. This would be much longer to write out, less efficient, and more error-prone. If we had 10 items to add to the invoice it would already be annoying, but what about 100 items, or 1000? We'll return to this example later on in the article.
Arrays are constructed of square brackets, which contain a list of items separated by commas.
Try creating a couple of arrays of your own, before you move on.
You can then access individual items in the array using bracket notation, in the same way that you accessed the letters in a string.
Note: We've said it before, but just as a reminder — computers start counting from 0!
Try making some more modifications to your array examples before moving on. Have a play, and see what works and what doesn't.
Start looping at item number 0 in the array.
Stop looping at the item number equal to the length of the array. This will work for an array of any length, but in this case it will stop looping at item number 7 (this is good, as the last item — which we want the loop to cover — is 6.
For each item, print it out to the browser console with console.log().
In this section we'll look at some rather useful array-related methods that allow us to split strings into array items and vice versa, and add new items into arrays.
Often you'll be presented with some raw data contained in a big long string, and you might want to separate the useful items out into a more useful form and then do things to them, like display them in a data table. To do this, we can use the split() method. In its simplest form, this takes a single parameter, the character you want to separate the string at, and returns the substrings between the separator as items in an array.
Note: Okay, this is technically a string method, not an array method, but we've put it in with arrays as it goes well here.
Another way of converting an array to a string is to use the toString() method. toString() is arguably simpler than join() as it doesn't take a parameter, but more limiting. With join() you can specify different separators (try running Step 4 with a different character than a comma).
First of all, to add or remove an item at the end of an array we can use push() and pop() respectively.
unshift() and shift() work in exactly the same way as push() and pop(), respectively, except that they work on the beginning of the array, not the end.
Active learning: Printing those products!
Below the // number 1 comment are a number of strings, each one containing a product name and price separated by a colon. We'd like you to turn this into an array and store it in an array called products.
On the same line as the // number 2 comment is the beginning of a for loop. In this line we currently have i <= 0, which is a conditional test that causes the for loop to only run once, because it is saying "stop when i is no longer less than or equal to 0", and i starts at 0. We'd like you to replace this with a conditional test that stops the loop when i is no longer less than the products array's length.
Just below the // number 3 comment we want you to write a line of code that splits the current array item (name:price) into two separate items, one containing just the name and one containing just the price. If you are not sure how to do this, consult the Useful string methods article for some help, or even better, look at the Converting between strings and arrays section of this article.
As part of the above line of code, you'll also want to convert the price from a string to a number. If you can't remember how to do this, check out the first strings article.
There is a variable called total that is created and given a value of 0 at the top of the code. Inside the loop (below // number 4) we want you to add a line that adds the current item price to that total in each iteration of the loop, so that at the end of the code the correct total is printed onto the invoice. You might need an assignment operator to do this.
We want you to change the line just below // number 5 so that the itemText variable is made equal to "current item name — $current item price", for example "Shoes — $23.99" in each case, so the correct information for each item is printed on the invoice. This is just simple string concatenation, which should be familiar to you.
A good use for array methods like push() and pop() is when you are maintaining a record of currently active items in a web app. In an animated scene for example, you might have an array of objects representing the background graphics currently displayed, and you might only want 50 displayed at once, for performance or clutter reasons. As new objects are created and added to the array, older ones can be deleted from the array to maintain the desired number.
In this example we're going to show a much simpler use — here we're giving you a fake search site, with a search box. The idea is that when terms are entered in the search box, the top 5 previous search terms are displayed in the list. When the number of terms goes over 5, the last term starts being deleted each time a new term is added to the top, so the 5 previous terms are always displayed.
Note: In a real search app, you'd probably be able to click the previous search terms to return to previous searches, and it would display actual search results! We are just keeping it simple for now.
Add a line below the // number 1 comment that adds the current value entered into the search input to the start of the array. This can be retrieved using searchInput.value.
Add a line below the // number 2 comment that removes the value currently at the end of the array.
// the display is regenerated every time a search term is entered.
The only thing left to do is work through this module's assessment, which will test your understanding of the articles that came before it.

It could take 12 hours of walking to burn off your Christmas dinner

It could take 12 hours of walking to burn off your Christmas dinner 21 December 2021
Overeating at Christmas time is almost like a tradition. Many of us look forward to piling our plates full of festive foods, snacking on chocolate throughout the holidays or sipping on festive drinks. Even if you were trying to eat healthier, indulgent foods are often displayed more prominently in supermarkets and shops during the holidays, making it difficult to pass up on our favourite foods and drinks.
This article was published by The Conversation.
The British Dietetic Association estimates that on Christmas day alone people might consume around 6,000 calories – with Christmas dinner responsible for most of these. But spending time with friends, work Christmas parties and New Year's celebrations might all see us overeat in the days and even weeks before and after Christmas. It's no wonder the average adult gains around 0.5-1kg over the Christmas holidays.
While that might not sound like a lot, the weight we gain during the festive season isn't always lost in the new year. This excess weight gain over the years could see some people become overweight or obese, which may increase their risk of many conditions, including cancer, diabetes, hypertension or stroke.
But research shows that giving people information about how many minutes of walking (or running) it will take to burn off the calories from foods or drinks can help people eat less and avoid gaining weight at Christmas. So, how much walking do you need to do in order to burn off Christmas dinner?
'Burning off Christmas dinner' by Professor Amanda Daley.
For an adult weighing 84kg it will take about 12 hours of steady paced walking (around four miles an hour) to burn off the calories of an average Christmas dinner. This is the equivalent of walking approximately 50 miles. Or, if you prefer, you could jog for about five to six hours.
Of course, the number of calories in your dinner will also depend on what foods you eat, how you prepare them and whether you go back for seconds. For example, if you cut out the pre-dinner nibbles and appetisers, and only have a yule log for dessert alongside two glasses of wine, your Christmas dinner may only come in around 2,080 calories. For someone weighing 84kg, this would only take around six and a half hours of walking to burn off.
The amount of physical activity you'll need to do to burn off your dinner will also depend on many factors such as age, gender and weight.
Holiday weight gain does not have to be inevitable – and walking is a great activity you can do by yourself or with others. While walking for 12 hours straight isn't something anyone wants to do during the holidays, there are many easy ways you can sneak more physical activity in during the holidays each day. For example, try walking to the shops instead of using your car if you can, or take a cycle around your neighbourhood with your children to look at the Christmas lights.
Of course, it's hard not to indulge over Christmas since it only comes around once a year. Some other easy ways to eat fewer calories during the holidays include snacking wisely, and being cautious with your portions. If you find that you have gained weight after Christmas don't be disheartened and try to focus on reducing the treats, and setting yourself a goal to get your weight back on track as soon as you can in the new year.

The Wild Movie
An urgent threat emerges to spur fisherman/filmmaker, Mark Titus back to the wilds of Alaska, where the people of Bristol Bay and its storied wild salmon runs face devastation if a massive copper mine is constructed.
By suddenly dismantling safeguards the EPA had enacted to protect the salmon, water and people of Bristol Bay - the current political regime in the United States has unilaterally revived a mining corporation's relentless pursuit to build North America's largest open-pit copper mine - directly in the headwaters of the most prodigious wild sockeye salmon run in the world.
The Wild is a race against time. The proposed Pebble Mine is spurred by a sympathetic Trump administration working to have it permitted by 2020. At stake is the survival of a keystone species that feeds 137 different creatures - including us - in a wild place that is the last of its kind on Earth. Bristol Bay feeds the entire world with its salmon, starting with the Indigenous People for whom wild salmon have been their Everything for over 5,000 years.
Filmmaker, Mark Titus worked in the Alaska salmon industry for 25 years and now focuses his lens and his passion for wild salmon on the conflict in Bristol Bay. This battle for Alaska's soul mirrors Titus' struggle to reclaim his own through addiction recovery – and becomes a harbinger to a larger, global question: How do we reconcile human separation from the natural world that sustains us – and if we can change course - how do we save the wild that remains?
Vibrant characters from Bristol Bay set the stage and impactful, world-renowned Ambassadors light it as all ponder what it means to potentially lose North America's last great wild migration. In The Wild's impassioned call for hope through action, wild salmon continue to show us how to give of ourselves for that which is far greater than ourselves.

Q: SQL Server Delete Order for FKC? I have a tree table that has foreign keys to self (depth-unlimited parents and children). Given that SQL Server lacks the CASCADE (within same table, loops) support MySQL offers, I need to first order the IDs to delete before deleting them. I order them with a CTE from most-deletable (no children) to least-deletable (top parents).
I want to throw this set of IDs to a DELETE but I need them deleted in the exact order I send them to SQLServer. Can this be done in a single query?
I could write a stored procedure to delete the records or just DELETE one by one with multiple queries from C#... but I'm wondering if this can be achieved in a simple DELETE FROM WHERE IN query? I have no clue if DELETE retains order of the IN (...) collection, because if it doesn't... the FKC will block it. -- Coming from MySQL, never cared as they can cascade within the same table.

A Building Owner's Dilemma
It's Bigger Than Your Building
By investing in your building, you are actually investing in something much greater—you are investing in the lives and resiliency of your community at large.
Contact: Dan Bech, Principal
If you have received a seismic ordinance notice, it means that your local building authority has identified your building as potentially vulnerable during a seismic event (and less likely to withstand even a moderate earthquake). A seismic retrofit ordinance often mandates some level of strengthening per the city's local building code requirements. These ordinances target building types susceptible to a higher risk of collapse, and loss of life, due to known structural vulnerabilities and/or deficiencies.
Holmes Structures is here to guide building owners and help them understand how the seismic ordinance affects their investment, and the process to strengthen and repair in order to comply with the city's building code standards. Time is of the essence, this is your opportunity to protect your building, your tenants and your community before the next earthquake occurs.
Here are some of the reasons why seismic retrofitting your building now versus later matters:
Post-Earthquake Costs Add Up
Building repairs cost more after an earthquake than the cost associated with retrofit interventions prior to the earthquake. Building damage is not limited to damage of its structural components – damage to building services and non-structural elements is also likely, including windows and partitions, mechanical, electrical, plumbing systems, and more. After an earthquake, building owners are more likely to pay a premium to return the building to a functioning, operational state, provided the building can be economically repaired. Menwhile, you are likely to lose tenant income. Loss of revenue can add up quickly.
Minimize Downtime
When building owners comply with a city's seismic ordinance, they increase the likelihood that a building will be less damaged following a moderate earthquake. It is more likely that a building can sustain the seismic forces of an earthquake with minimal damage. Because of having less structural damage, it is possible that the building may be returned to functional use (or limited use) in a shorter time frame versus without it being retrofitted. Addressing the seismic ordinance in a timely manner is a smart investment.
A building not seismically retrofitted may experience the following consequences after an earthquake:
Swift repairs are needed to secure its future use and incoming revenue
The building owner must react quickly to procure and retain the services of contractors and other construction specialists while competing with other post-earthquake demands from other parties
City officials may be overrun with permit applications for post-earthquake repairs which may cause delays in returning the building to a functioning, operational state
Prioritize Life Safety
The EPA estimates that on average, people spend 90% of their daily lives inside of buildings. The odds are stacked that you, your tenants, and everyone else in your densely populated area will probably be inside of or within proximity to a building when the next Big One hits. Enhancing life safety for your building means improving the margin of safety against collapse and affording building occupants enough time to safely evacuate. Therefore, complying with a seismic ordinance reduces your building's risk of collapse, which poses an imminent threat to preserving lives and preventing serious injury. When building owners and structural engineers partner on seismic ordinances, we not only fulfill our professional and civic duties–we potentially save lives.
Improve Community Resiliency
By strengthening your building, you are contributing to a more resilient city. Buildings house our homes, our workplaces, our hospitals and our government. Our community is more resilient when these structures do not collapse, but resiliency goes beyond that. While seismic ordinances generally target collapse prevention objectives, they are not concerned with the operability or reparability of the building following a significant earthquake. You have the opportunity to do better for your building. In many instances it is possible to improve the seismic performance of a building beyond the minimum requirements of the seismic ordinance with modest additional investments. Holmes Structures can advise you on these enhanced seismic performance objectives.
A building's structure is the skeleton that supports the systems that help it function, such as Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) systems. Non-structural components of a building, such as MEP, are not required to be addressed by seismic ordinances. When a large portion of a city's buildings are not repairable or are rendered unusable, the city's residents and even entire industries at the heart of the local economy may be forced to relocate. The more quickly building owners comply with seismic ordinances, the more likely that, piece by piece and building by building, a city will retain its people, character and capital in the face of the next natural disaster.
Recent Seismic Ordinances in California
West Hollywood Ordinance #17-1004
Implemented: 2018
Required Completion: 2038
Mandatory strengthening provisions apply to all non-ductile concrete buildings constructed before the 1979 Uniform Building Code, as well as pre-Northridge steel moment frame buildings. Additional buildings have been classified as 'Undetermined' by the City and may fall under the Ordinance.
Santa Monica Ordinance #2537
Required Completion: 2020 – 2037 (depending on building type)
All pre-Northridge moment frame buildings (constructed prior to January 1996) and all non-ductile concrete buildings constructed prior to January 1977 must be evaluated and retrofitted to meet the required seismic performance objectives.
Los Angeles Non-Ductile Concrete Ordinance #183893
Concrete buildings with a roof and/or floor supported by a concrete wall or concrete column, constructed before 1977 fall under the ordinance. The timeline stipulates enrolling in the program and either proving existing compliance through previous improvements or completing a retrofit over the next 25 years.
San Francisco Mandatory Soft-Story Program
SF Department of Building Inspection program to improve the safety and resilience of San Francisco's housing stock through the retrofit of older, wood-framed, multi-family buildings with a soft-story condition.
At-Risk Steel Frame Buildings in San Francisco
While not an ordinance, The New York Times published 39 at-risk steel frame buildings in downtown San Francisco, identified by the United States Geological Survey.
The High Seismic States of Oregon, Washington and Utah
The States of Oregon, Washington and Utah also have high earthquake risks with a large number of vulnerable building types. These states and their municipalities are currently pending legislation to pass Seismic Ordinances, per the articles below.

Q: Emacs: Execute code in shell-script mode In sh-mode in Emacs, I was looking for a way to execute a shell script in the current buffer directly like the C-c C-c in Python-mode.  Using M-! is really tiring.  Any amount of googling doesn't help.  Is this possible?

A: When I am editing a shell script called foo.sh, I set the variable compile-command to "foo.sh".  Then, C-c m (compile) or C-c r (recompile) executes the script.  C-c m lets me add or modify arguments to the script before running it, C-c r will run it with the last arguments used.

A: M-| is shell-command-on-region
so if you want to execute the whole buffer, C-x h M-| or you can rebind to something more convenient.

A: Rebind M-! to something you like better, you can do it to the local keymap to just affect the shell buffer.

HMRC collect extra tax through investigations.
Published: 6 February 2018
HMRC collected £832m in extra tax through investigations into Inheritance Tax, charitable donations and trusts last year.
This helps illustrate how HMRC is increasingly approaching non-compliance from all possible angles and, as a result, almost all taxpayers are at risk of inquiries from the taxman.
These investigations come under 'Specialist Personal Tax', and include other areas of personal tax such as probate and pensions.
Inheritance Tax (IHT) in particular has been a focus for HMRC. It was recently revealed that HMRC requested extra IHT from 400 estates last year, seeking a total of £44m.
The crackdown on IHT shows taxpayers need to be especially careful to avoid making mistakes and, as a result, possibly facing surprise bills and even inquiries.
Mistakes can often arise when someone makes a gift but keeps some benefit for themselves – so-called 'gifts with reservation of benefit'. For instance, this might occur when an individual gives a property to their adult children but continues to live there – hence retaining a benefit. It can be easy for taxpayers to be caught out by these rules, without realising it could incur a substantial IHT bill. But investigations can also be launched on more everyday issues relating to IHT – such as for HMRC to ascertain when a gift was actually made from a parent to a child.
HMRC's investigations into IHT, and other areas of SPT, are part of a much broader crackdown on the underpayment of tax by individuals.
Investigations into individuals' self-assessment tax returns have already proved to be one of the fastest growing revenue streams for HMRC. Last year, HMRC collected an additional £1.4bn through investigations into these returns – up from £856m in 2015/16.
The growth in revenue generated through investigations into individuals has partly been driven by increasing threats of court action by HMRC, which has highlighted its recent litigation record in warning letters to taxpayers. Many taxpayers are now settling up early with HMRC to avoid going to court.

Q: How to send a DELETE request with Indy? I tried several search for examples on the web on how to send a DELETE request with TidHTTP without success...
I'm working with Delphi Indy 10.0.52.
Apparently there is not such a method as Delete in the TIdHTTP object.
Is it possible?
I'm missing something here... Help!
I ended up with something (not working) like this:
procedure TRestObject.doDelete( deleteURL:String );
var
  res : TStringStream;
begin
  res := TStringStream.Create('');
  http := TidHTTP creation and init...
  try
    http.Request.Method := IdHTTP.hmDelete;
    http.Put( deleteURL, res );
  except
    on E: EIdException do
      showmessage('Exception (class '+ E.ClassName +'): ' + E.Message);
    on E: EIdHTTPProtocolException do
      showmessage('Protocol Exception (HTTP status '+ IntToStr(E.ErrorCode) +'): ' + E.Message);
    on E: EIdSocketError do
      showmessage('Socket Error ('+ IntToStr(E.LastError) +'): ' + E.Message);
  end;
  res.Free;
end;

This is a method in an object already handling GET, PUT, POST to a RESTful web service implemented with django-tastypie. I have all permissions and authentications set in the object's init phase.

A: As its name suggests, TIdHTTP.Put() forces the request method to PUT.  So you cannot use it to send other requests.
10.0.52 is a very old version, you really should upgrade to the latest 10.6.0, which has a TIdHTTP.Delete() method:
http.Delete(deleteURL, res);

If that is not an option, then to send a custom request with 10.0.52, you will have to call TIdHTTP.DoRequest() instead.  However, DoRequest() is declared as protected so you will have to use an accessor class to call it, eg:
type
  TIdHTTPAccess = class(TIdHTTP)
  end;

TIdHTTPAccess(http).DoRequest('DELETE', deleteURL, nil, res, []);

A: You can check this delphi rest client
https://github.com/fabriciocolombo/delphi-rest-client-api
Look in file HttpConnectionIndy.pas how is delete implemented.
procedure TIdHTTP.Delete(AURL: string);
begin
  try
    DoRequest(Id_HTTPMethodDelete, AURL, Request.Source, nil, []);
  except
    on E: EIdHTTPProtocolException do
    raise EHTTPError.Create(e.Message, e.ErrorMessage, e.ErrorCode);
  end;
end;


Rudimentary terms and conditions for contractors to adopt and freely adapt to suit their particular trading circumstances.
Contracts can be daunting but they are so important. Contractors who work on a letter of Intent may be found, in a court of law, not to be in contract at all. Contractors who contract by starting work, or by responding to request to start work in an affirmative manner, or who sign something 'in writing', will all be considered to have entered into 'Contract'.
Where the terms and conditions have not been provided before starting work or by the responding to request to start work in an affirmative manner or by signing something 'in writing', then the Contractors should use a model form of contract.
The JCT, NEC, the IET all publish Industry standard forms of contract, ECA provides its Members with the following contracts where no other is available. The terms are not intended to be all-embracing. It is impossible to cater for every circumstance and every trading relationship by what is a concise initial contractual solution.
ECA offer these to members in an MS Word 'open' format, members can download and amend them to suit their own particular requirements. As the value of a contract increases, so relying solely on these brief terms becomes increasingly unviable.
An MS Word document will help the Member to transfer it to their own letter lead. The pdf version can be used but is effectively locked-down.
For use where general-use materials are to be board and/or as a basis for a negotiated contract of supply.
To provide a basis upon which members can subcontract their obligations to a mechanical or other partner.
To provide general terms when contracting business to business or when making an offer to a general contractor.
A basic series of terms and conditions that can be employed when contracting in the "domestic" consumer market.
To facilitate Inter-Member transfer of labour on a short-term basis.


Paul Finch was born in Stourbridge, West Midlands. He was inspired to make jewellery whilst travelling in Asia and has been working as a self taught designer jeweller for nearly 25 years. He was based in North Cornwall for several years, then relocated to Southern France with his family in 2009. Working alone in the solitude of his rural workshop, Paul draws on his technical abilities to undertake all aspects involved in the fabrication of his work (apart from casting). This results in bold settings, indulgent and interesting pieces with no constraints on design.
Paul uses a variety of innovative techniques to create distinctive ranges of jewellery characterized by elegance & simplicity. He has a love of strong form with few embellishments preferring to contrast colour ansd texture with organic flowing forms that are both durable and comfortable to wear. He creates sculptural pieces in silver and gold combined with diamonds or gemstones in unusual settings.
Paul enjoys working with silver and semi precious stones and also produces a number of items in 18ct gold including commissioned items such as wedding and engagement rings. His contemporary collections feature a wide range of items such as rings, bangles, pendants and earrings. The jewellery is designed with durability and comfort in mind and is complimentary and sensual to the wearer.


USACE and EPA share management responsibilities of the ocean dredged material disposal sites (ODMDSs) located off the coast of the MCR. USACE dredges 3 to 5 million cubic yards of sediment annually at MCR to maintain the inlet's 6‑mile-long, deep-draft navigation channel. Much of the dredged material is disposed of at the Shallow Water Site (SWS) and Deep Water Site (DWS) ODMDSs in combination with the North Jetty Site (NJS) and South Jetty Site (SJS), which are Clean Water Act Section 404 sites. As required for EPA final designation of the ODMDSs, a Site Management and Monitoring Plan (SMMP) was prepared for the MCR deep water site and shallow water sites in 2005. These management plans are required to be updated at least every 10 years.
In support of that requirement, ANAMAR was contracted by USACE Portland District to prepare a data analysis and trends assessment report that compiles and summarizes all of the dredged material disposal history data, biological data (benthic infauna, epifauna, Dungeness crabs), chemical data (water and sediment), sediment profile imaging data (SPI camera), and physical grain size data collected within and adjacent to the sites since the 2002 baseline investigations. Temporal trends were analyzed using data on grain size distribution, infaunal and epifaunal community indices, and Dungeness crab population parameters. Possible impacts of disposal activities were also identified and discussed. Using the results and conclusions from the trends assessment, ANAMAR was tasked with preparing an updated SMMP to provide guidance for assessing ocean dumping site impacts and for implementing and carrying out long-term ocean dumping site management. The new 2016 SMMP incorporates monitoring results since the 2005 SMMP, along with results of the trends assessment, and updates management strategies based on those results.

Lessons learned: Job sites should be inspected once all work is completed
AMSA Amendment provides flexibility to continue operating with liferafts
Panama's Ship Registry provides guidance on operators regarding ways to implement the necessary security measures to prevent stowaway's access either at sea or on arrival. As the guidance says, when a stowaway is discovered, this is an indication of a failure in the implementation of the Ship Security Plan (SSP).
Namely, when calling at port and as long as they stay in a port with a risk of a stowaway embarkation, Panamanian flagged vessels are recommended to implement the following preventive measures:
All doors, hatches and means of access to holds or stores, which are not used during the ship's stay in port should be locked;
Access points to the ship should be kept to a minimum and be adequately secured;
Areas seaward of the ship should be adequately secured;
Adequate deck watch should be kept;
Boardings and disembarkations should, where possible, be tallied by the ship's crew or, after agreement with the master, by others;
Adequate means of communication should be maintained;
At night, adequate lighting should be maintained both inside and along the hull.
In case a stowaway is found on board a ship, then the Master and the Shipowner must:
Determine immediately the port of embarkation of the stowaway;
Establish the identity, including the nationality/citizenship and residence of the stowaway;
Prepare a statement containing all available information relevant to the stowaway for presentation to the appropriate authorities at the port of embarkation, the next port of call, flag State and any subsequent ports. In this respect should be used and completed the following STOWAWAYS INCIDENT REPORT ( See Annex);
Ensure that stowaways are not forced to work on board the ship, except in emergency situations or in relation to the stowaway's accommodation on board;
Ensure that stowaways are treated humanely, consistent with the basic principles;
Comply with any removal directions made by the competent national authorities at the port of disembarkation;
Cover any applicable costs related to the removal, detention, treatment and disembarkation of the stowaway in accordance to the legislation of the States which may be involved;
Not depart from the planned voyage to seek the disembarkation of a stowaway discovered on board the ship after it has left the territorial waters of the State where the stowaways embarked unless permission to disembark the stowaway has been granted by the public authorities of the State to whose port the ship deviates, or repatriation has been arranged elsewhere with sufficient documentation and permission given for disembarkation.
