Read a recent update to this piece: PLOS ONE Output Drops Again In 2016.
PLOS ONE's 2015 Impact Factor is expected to rise, the result of its shrinking size. As reported earlier this year, the open access mega-journal has experienced two successive declines in article output, from a peak of 31,509 research papers in 2013 to 28,107 in 2015–a reduction of 3,402 papers or 11%.
Published each summer by Thomson Reuters, the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) includes various annual journal-level performance measures. The indicator most eagerly awaited is the Journal Impact Factor — a simple arithmetic average of the citation performance of a journal's articles. Editors and publishers anxiously await this measure as it affects their relative ranking within their discipline. Authors, in turn, are heavily influenced by journal Impact Factors (often used to describe a journal's prestige) as a guide for where to submit their manuscripts. While PLOS does not support the use of the Impact Factor, their authors seem just as interested in this metric as everyone else.
The Journal Impact Factor is constructed by summing all citations made to papers published in the previous two years and dividing by the number of papers published in those two years. There is a little more nuance to this approach, as the number of papers in the denominator is limited to research articles and reviews — what Thomson Reuters calls "citable items." Whereas some journals publish many papers that are not considered citable (e.g. editorials, perspectives, commentary, letters, etc.), this is not the case for PLOS ONE. This will help simplify our example of how size affects Impact Factor calculations. In a future blog post, I will revisit and provide more detail on the classification and counting of citable items.
Last year, PLOS ONE received an Impact Factor of 3.234, which was the result of dividing 177,706 citations made in 2014 to 54,945 papers published in 2012 and 2013. We can further dissect the journal's IF score into two separate parts, measuring independently how papers published in 2012 compare with papers published in 2013. For 2012 papers, there were 95,631 citations made to 23,447 papers for an effective Impact Factor of 4.079; for 2013, there were 82,075 citations made to 31,498 papers for an effective Impact Factor of 2.606. The reason why there is such a large performance difference between these two annual cohorts is that 2012 papers were measured in their third year of publication while 2013 papers were measured in their second.
The Impact Factor of a shrinking journal is therefore based upon the performances of more older papers, which tends to create an upward influence on its IF calculation. Conversely, a growing journal is evaluated on the performances of more younger papers, which tends to create a downward influence on its IF calculation.
What can we expect from PLOS ONE's next Impact Factor?
If we assume that PLOS ONE papers published in 2014 have a similar citation profile to papers evaluated last year, then we can expect its 2015 Impact Factor to rise marginally, from 3.234 to 3.360 or by about 4%. It is very difficult to get an actual performance reading, as the Web of Science (the index from which the JCR citation metrics are derived) limits citation reports to 10,000 records–just one-third of the papers published in PLOS ONE each year.
I should note that the above calculation ignores changes to the journal over the past year (data availability policy, publication fee increase, competition from other open access journals, platform upgrades and publication delays) that may change the kinds of papers submitted to PLOS ONE. Taken together, these changes may countervail the rise we expect from journal shrinkage.
11 Thoughts on "As PLOS ONE Shrinks, 2015 Impact Factor Expected to Rise"
Really? An entire post devoted to a trivial (and only predicted) increase in impact factor of a single journal? I thought we were all trying to stop obsessing about impact factors. And what is SK's obsession with PLOS all about? (I also notice that nowhere in this post is there any criticism of the JIF either). Come on!
First The Scholarly Kitchen has no obsession, no position, no agenda. This post is mine alone. I write about PLOS ONE frequently because it was a true innovation in science publishing. PLOS ONE has made a huge impact on other publishers and issues like its output and performance have an outsized effect on the journal market. Second, this isn't an opinion piece. I try not to opine when I write, but base my arguments on data. Journal editorials and blogs are full of criticism and angry opposition to the JIF. If readers are upset that I'm not jumping on their bandwagon, they can simply go elsewhere.
"I thought we were all trying to stop obsessing about impact factors." Speak for yourself. Almost no one is trying to devalue JIF. And no one is obsessed with JIF. Obsession is a psychological disorder. The interest in JIF is as a proxy for one kind of merit. Only one kind, of course.
Data is data, analysis is analysis. I would like to believe that this post was not made to position any arguments about promoting IF.
I can't wait to see if you're right, Phil. Your logic is solid, but the phenomenal growth of PLoS One created such unusual citation dynamics that predictions based on normal journal expansion were perilous.
One the most common misunderstandings about JIF is that it is "a simple arithmetic average of the citation performance of a journal's articles." JIF is not an average, but a ratio: all citations that discernibly acknowledge the journal, divided by an estimation of size, based on the quantity of citable, or scholarly material.
Many critiques, and many over-interpretations of the metric (http://jcb.rupress.org/content/179/6/1091.full, http://www.ascb.org/dora/) spread outward from the difference between a true average and a ratio.
A true average could easily carry-along the article-level lineage, supporting full transparency, re-analysis, sub-analysis, and validation.
But that would be a metric other than JIF.
The JCR provides quantitative tools for ranking, evaluating, categorizing, and comparing journals. The impact factor is one of these; it is a measure of the frequency with which the "average article" in a journal has been cited in a particular year or period. The annual JCR impact factor is a ratio between citations and recent citable items published.
I think Phil's point about growing and shrinking journals "favoring" newer and older articles in their JIF calculation is a good one for those launching new journals to realize. New journals are by definition "growing", and can be growing for the first several years of their IF calculation.
I'm actually predicting a large increase in PLOS One's 2015 IF, but not because of the shrinking of output. First of all, your post cites the 2015 output as a reason for a rise in IF, but that content won't be counted until the 2016 IF. But, by looking at 2013's content and seeing how it performed in 2015, we can make comparisons with 2013's content to how 2012's content contributed to the 2014 IF.
So as you can see, article citations have increased by about 15%. The 2014 content would have to do quite poorly to bring down the IF from where it is now. So this should go up, regardless of the slowing of output.
Additionally, your statement of "If we assume that PLOS ONE papers published in 2014 have a similar citation profile to papers evaluated last year…" is a bit confusing. If we make this assumption, it would be impossible for the IF to go down.


I love technology and I strive to be charitable, as much as I am able. As a tech geek I use technology to make philanthropy easier. These are my tips and tricks. I call it Charitech.
Last Summer, when I started focusing a lot of energy on philanthropy, I was quickly overwhelmed by the daunting task of charity. It's so easy to see the great needs and want to run in the opposite direction. Sadly, that seems like a natural reaction. So my first goal was finding ways to make charity more accessible and less scary. One of the first apps I found is called "One Today".
"One Today" is a Google product. For some that's a great thing, for others that might be a reason to run for the hills! But I would recommend checking it out, regardless of your attitude towards the great search engine giant. "One Today" is a great way to do charity in small ways. And it's as simple as the touch of a button.
When you first download the app, you are asked to select areas of interest that you would like to contribute funds towards. I chose: Food, Health, Housing, Civil Rights & Liberties, and Poverty. From there the application provides a variety of charities to choose from for donations. And all you're being asked to contribute is one dollar. Yep, just a buck. That is something I could manage.
The very first charity I gave to really opened my eyes to poverty. The charity is called "Rescuing Leftover Cuisine". This charity "brings excess food from restaurants, catering companies, and institutions to local agencies, such as homeless shelters", in 12 different cities in the United States. The app provides additional information about the charity and the need. For this charity they point out that while "40 % of food produced is wasted, while 1 in 7 Americans face food insecurity". I was shocked that such a charity was needed in the United States. In a nation of such great wealth, I couldn't believe it. But those are the numbers, and it makes sense, when you think on it a bit.
So what does your ONE DOLLAR get? Again, according to the app, $1 means 42 meals for the hungry. 42 MEALS!!! That was another shocker, and it was a simple choice to push the blue button in the lower right corner and contribute one dollar. Maybe I even dug deep and gave $2 that time and BOOM!! 84 meals for the hungry. It's so small, and so big at the same time.
So consider downloading this app, and giving it a go. It won't take much time, it won't take much money, but a little can add up to a lot.

In various ways, including measuring the torque of a paddle twisting in a fluid; measuring how fast a fluid pours through a hole; using a spring to push a rod into a fluid; and measuring how fast a sphere falls through a fluid.
Sample Video Transcript
Below is a transcript of the video sample provided for this module:
Temperature is a common word used often in everything from daily weather forecasts to cooking recipes. Temperature is related to the amount of thermal energy or heat in a material or system. As more heat is added, the temperature rises. Similarly, a loss of heat leads to a decrease in temperature. On a microscopic scale, heat is related to the amount of random motion of atoms and molecules in a material. An increase in temperature corresponds to an increase in the rate of movement of the atoms in the system. When a temperature difference does exist between two systems, heat will move from the higher temperature system to the lower temperature system until thermal equilibrium, the same temperature in both, is established.

Q: How to Execute the user defined python methods using variables, read from Excel sheet I have built my reusable framework libraries for ClickLink, TypeInTextBox etc and it sits in different python modules.
When I used the methods directly in the main class like ClickLink('CP_SignIn_Link') it works fine.
But when I tried to read it from excel and use the same like below I get the following error:
Keyword(wd_handle,Arguments)

print Keyword = ClickLink
print Arguments = 'CP_SignIn_Link'

Keyword(wd_handle,Arguments,Value)

TypeError: 'unicode' object is not callable
Sample TC Excel Document:
======================

User_Keyword    | Keyword_Arguments         | Value
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ClickLink       | 'CP_SignIn_Link'          |
TypeInTextBox   |'CP_EmailAddress_TextBox'  |'ABC@D.COM'
TypeInTextBox   |'CP_Password_TextBox'      |'test'

Any help would be much appreciated.

A: I strongly belive that You are getting the  "Keyword" as a string ,
but you're trying to call it like a function.
example :

k =os.system
      k('pwd')

/home/test/kelvin/pythonall
0
But if we try  like this :

k ='os.system'
      k('pwd')
      Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "", line 1, in
      TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

Here ClickLink Is coming as string

A: I tried using the globals() keyword and it worked :)
Where User_Keyword variable will evaluate to a string equivalent to the method name in your package.
Example:

        def ExecuteKeyword(driver, User_keyword, Argument)    # User_keyword = ClickLink , Argument = SignInLink
            function = globals()[User_Keyword]
            function(driver,Arguments)            # Equivalent to ClickLink(driver,SingnInLink)

Hope this helps someone else :)

Father Angry that Man Charged in Rape of his 11 Year-old Daughter Out On Bail
September 16, 2013 by Sharon Aron Baron	No Comments
Jeffrey Giraldo
In 2012, a man was arrested and charged with raping an 11 year old Tamarac girl in the Spring Lakes Villas. Now the father of the victim is speaking out because the alleged rapist is free on bond and living in the same complex where the alleged rape occurred.
"He's a predator," said *Robert Martin, father of the victim.
In February 2012, Jeffrey Giraldo, 18, was charged with two counts of lewd and lascivious molestation, two counts sexual battery on a victim under 12, and transmission of material harmful to a minor, according to Broward County Sheriff's Office.
According to the report, Giraldo had sex with the girl at his home, as well as sending her a photo of his penis to her cell phone, despite knowing she was a minor.
"His grandfather got him out on a prerelease bond of $50,000 in July of 2012 where he's on house arrest with GPS monitoring," said Martin. "The State Attorney is coming up with a plea deal as we speak. He's been charged with two capitol felonies each carrying a minimum mandatory of 30 years."
Martin said that the plea bargain is not fair because he will only get five years probation with psychological evaluations and third degree felony charges on his record. According to Martin, Giraldo may also never receive a sexual predator tag on his record either. "Otherwise, my daughter has to go through a jury trail and be scrutinized for God only knows how long and then there's the chance he could get off, they say. So, it's quite a dilemma for me right now on what to do."
Jeffrey Giraldo – Charged with raping an 11 year-old
"I copied his Facebook page after the incident, and by the way; that's how I found him," said Martin. "His whole life is who he's going to screw next. He's all about getting sex with as many women as possible and he doesn't seem to care who they are. He has absolutely no respect for women and puts them down and makes fun of them throughout his Facebook page. He's a drug addict and drunk. Now, with this house arrest situation he can be checked for alcohol and drugs at any time, however, if he gets off on this plea bargain do you really believe he will stay clean? I think not."
Although Martin moved his family to Coral Springs, and enrolled his daughter in another school, he feels this is a small place, and running away really hasn't been the answer.
"She has every chance of running in to him or his little brother which has already happened a few times. I had to change her school a few months after this happened because of his younger brother and his entourage going after my daughter."
*Father's name changed to protect his daughter's identity

Abstract : Wide range tunable components are a key point for high frequency performances. We have developed a novel RF MEMS rotational capacitor based on surface variation and high displacement. This paper will present multiple designs with physical parameter variations for comparative test with fabricated device measurements. The goal of this work is to prove the proper operation of the devices according to fulfill target performances. The main parameters will be tunability, capacitance value, resonance frequency and finally maximal actuation voltage allowed.

Richard is well-known for his unique portrayal of Ko-Ko in Jonathan Miller's oft-revived Mikado at London's Coliseum. The first person to play Jack Point at Covent Garden, and was a principal with the New D'Oyly Carte Opera Company. He has appeared numerous times at the BBC Proms at the Albert Hall, and has made many recordings.
Of special interest are the Sir Charles Mackerras recordings of the G & S operas with Richard playing the patter roles opposite Donald Adams.
He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music, and a Vice president of both the London and Sussex G & S Societies. We were certainly treated to a most entertaining afternoon by a most accomplished wordsmith as we heard in Ken Russell's rincess Ida, his description of his adventures, dressed in pants and white body paint, descending 50 ft on a suchi-berger whilst deafened by noises of this contraption as he attempted to hear the orchestra and blinded by clouds of dry ice whilst tying to follow the conductor. Later refering to his experiences over Ko-Ko's 'little list' in the Mikado with theatre management, who would at times suggest that some of its content might somewhat ruffle the feathers of local worthies, Italy and Berlusconi came to mind.
These experiences are recorded in his book "they'd none of 'em be missed"; all copies he had brought with him were sold, although he has more at home.

The Umbrella Academy Season 3: Not Going To Release On Netflix, Is It True?
Tuesday, 11 August 2020, 03:25 MST
The Umbrella Academy is the real child of modern-day Internet content. A series that combines genres like Action, Science Fiction, and Dark Comedy. All of which somehow seems to work in perfect tandem. The show debuted in February 2019, and has never looked back ever since.
The show, which completed its second season in 2023, has garnered praise from fans and critics alike. While season 1 was an experiment by Netflix, the second installment has multiplies the reach ten folds. We all know that the show has proven to be a colossal hit, one of the biggest amongst Netflix Originals in our knowledge.
The brilliance of this show has also gotten them die-heart fans around the world. And all of us fans, fell into a frenzy after reports raised concerns over the fact that Netflix has not officially renewed the Umbrella Academy.
This news has been verified to be true by the company itself. The third season has not been made official as of yet. But we have some great news for you ahead.
Delay in renewal of Season 3: Is it a concern?
Everyone has seen the success of The Umbrella Academy, not only in the US, but globally. There is no way that Netflix will be letting go of their prime asset.
But another major positive in this developing story is that the COVID-19 pandemic situation in the US, will not be a barrier to the production. The show is shot entirely in Canada, and filming is now permitted in Canada so that we can expect a fluid transition.
In all honesty, Netflix might be in talks to renew the show for multiple seasons. It makes perfect sense to tie down one of the best, if not the best show for a longer-term. We also know that the universe of Umbrella Academy has so much potential to expand with not just the characters but story-lines too!
Although, there is no clear report of when Season 3 is scheduled to come onto the floors. But the earliest prediction will also be about late 2023, and no way before that.
The Talent on Camera's either side
The Umbrella Academy is based on a comic book series, created by Gerard Way.
A constant in all quality web-series' is the talented people that hold the show together, and this series is no different. Steve Blackman, the man behind the web-series adaptation of the comic books, has been very successful.
The cast for the Superhero drama consists of many talents. Some are Aidan Gallagher, Ellen Page, Robert Sheehan, Tom Hooper, David Castaneda, Kate Walsh, and many many more.
We, the audience, can expect to be entertained through this series for years to come, and all that through Netflix.

House Speaker Gaye Symington says Governor Jim Douglas's plan to lease the state lottery is dead. Symington says she opposes the plan because she feels it's a mistake for the state to rely more heavily on gambling revenue.
The Vermont Senate has sent a clear message to the Douglas Administration: any plan to lease the state lottery to a private company must be approved by the Legislature. Supporters of the bill say it's also evident that most lawmakers oppose the leasing approach.
Some lawmakers are hoping that the Legislature will take a serious look at Governor Douglas's plan to lease the state lottery. They say it would provide new money to help balance the state budget. But opponents argue that relying on more gambling revenue is a bad idea.
Lawmakers are asking tough questions about plans to lease the state lottery. They say the plan is risky, and that the image of the state may suffer if it allows a private company to ramp up legalized gambling.
Legislative leaders are opposed to plans to lease the state lottery. They say it's wrong to fund government by expanding legalized gambling. But Governor Jim Douglas said the deal will raise at least $50 million. He urged lawmakers to carefully consider the proposal.
Democratic legislative leaders are concerned about the Douglas Administration's plan to lease the Vermont Lottery to a private business for 30 years. The Governor says the proposal is a way to provide at least $25 million for immediate property tax relief. But the lawmakers question the social cost of relying more heavily on gambling revenue.
The Douglas Administration is considering a plan to lease the Vermont Lottery to a private company in order to finance a one time property tax relief plan. Administration Secretary Mike Smith says the proposal would provide an additional $25 million to lower the statewide property tax for education in 2008.


During their arduous trek back through the hostile terrain of Ladakh, Arjun and Naina spend days in danger of losing their lives - and their hearts.
Back in safety, the real world and its very real problems threaten – as do their own perceptions of the differences between them.
Rescued by Love is Shilpa Suraj's second book after The Girl He Left Behind. I had thoroughly enjoyed reading Shilpa's first book and can say the same for this one.
The cover is miles better than the cover of the first book. It is more catchy and attractive. The blurb is intriguing and creates an instant interest in the book.
The story looks predictable like the many other I-am-in-love-with-my-rescuer types but Shilpa gives the story her personal flavor and makes it a completely new experience for the readers. The story has more depth and much more to it than just romance. The dialogues are well crafted and the plot expertly conceived and executed.
The characters make you forget that they are not real. I loved Naina with her strength of character and her determination. She has been oppressed and ignored at home and always made to feel unloved by her parents but still she has not given up her freedom to gain their acceptance. She knows what she wants in life and is ready to fight for it. Lt. Col Arjun Rathore made my heart flutter with his serious and brooding personality. His strength and bravery and his kindness towards Naina endeared him to me. His sense of responsibility and his word of honor means everything to him and when these very ideals test his happiness, it is very interesting to see how he copes with it. The romance between these two is quiet, slow and heartfelt. There dilemmas, difficulties and the challenges they face will make their love even more strong and I am sure touch other readers' hearts too just like it did mine.
The other characters like the rescue team made me visualize the problems and dangers these brave men face while protecting their country from enemies. Naina's parents specially her father made me so angry with his ancient mindset and his arrogance. Her mother is a weak woman without a backbone who follows her husband even when he is wrong and has accepted her unhappy state of life, blaming her daughter for it which was entirely stupid and made me feel sorry for Naina. Arjun's family is a loving lot and worlds apart from the bitter and unhappy family of Naina. All the characters are so beautifully portrayed that the stay with you even after you have read the book.
Shilpa has grown as a writer which shows in her writing. The dialogues are more crisp, the characters have more depth and the story narration more engaging.
All in all, Rescued by Love is a must read book that will no doubt keep you at the edge of your seat swiftly turning pages till the very end. Strongly recommended to everyone, enjoy this sweet romance that touches the heart and leaves the reader with a smile on his face. Super shiny 5 stars to Rescued by Love and I look forward to reading more from Shilpa in the future.

The Fragile Manifesto
Graham / 2019-02-18 / agile, architecture of sorts
A lot of what I've been reading and thinking about of late is about the agile backlash. More speed, lower velocity reflects on IT teams pursuing "deliver more/newer IT" at the cost of "help the company achieve its mission". Grooming the Backfog is about one dysfunction that arises as a result: (mis)managing a never-ending road of small changes rather than looking at the big picture and finding a path toward the destination. Our products are not our products attempts to address this problem by recasting teams not as makers of product, but as solvers of problems.
Here's the latest: UK wasting £37 billion a year on failed agile IT projects. Some people will say that this is a result of not Agiling enough: if you were all Lean and MVP and whatever you'd not get to waste all of that money. I don't necessarily agree with that: I think there's actually things to learn by, y'know, reading the article.
The truth is that, despite the hype, Agile development doesn't always work in practice.
True enough, but not a helpful statement, because "Agile" now means a lot of different things to different people. If we take it to mean the values, principles and practices written by the people who came up with the term, then I can readily believe that it wouldn't work in practice for people whose context is different from those who came up with the ideas in 2001. Which may well be everyone.
I'm also very confident that it doesn't mean that. I met a team recently who said they did "Agile", and discussed their standups and two-week iterations. They also described how they were considering whether to go from an annual to biannual release.
Almost three quarters (73%) of CIOs think Agile IT has now become an industry in its own right while half (50%) say they now think of Agile as "an IT fad".
The Agile-Industrial Complex is well-documented. You know what isn't well-documented? Your software.
The report revealed 44% of Agile IT projects that fail, do so because of a failure to produce enough (or any) documentation.
The survey found that 34% of failed Agile projects failed because of a lack of upfront and ongoing planning. Planning is a casualty of today's interpretation of the Agile Manifesto[…]
68% of CIOs agree that agile teams require more Architects. From defining strategy, to championing technical requirements (such as performance and security) to ensuring development teams stick to the rules of the game, the role of the Architect is sorely missed in the agile space. It must be reintroduced.
A bit near the top of the front page of the manifesto for agile software development is a sentence fragment that says:
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Before we discuss that fragment, I'd just like to quote the end of the sentence. It's a long way further down the page, so it's possible that some readers have missed it.
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
Refactor -> Inline Reference:
That is, while there is value in comprehensive documentation, we value working software more.
Refactor -> Extract Statement:
There is value in comprehensive documentation.
Now I want to apply the same set of transforms to another of the sentence fragments:
There is value in following a plan.
Nobody ever said don't have a plan. You should have a plan. You should be willing to amend the plan. I was recently asked what I'd do if I found that my understanding of the "requirements" of a system differ from the customer's understanding. It depends a lot on context but if there truly is a "the customer" and they want something that I'm not expecting to offer them, it's time for me to either throw away my version or find a different customer.
Similarly, nobody said don't have comprehensive documentation. I have been on a very "by-the-book" Agile team, where a developer team lead gave feedback that they couldn't work out where a change would go to enable a particular feature. That's architecture! What they wanted was an architectural plan of the system. Except that they couldn't explicitly want that, because software architecture is so, ugh, 1990s and Rational Rose. Wanting an architecture diagram is like wanting to use CORBA, urrr.
Once you get past that bizarre emotional response, give me a call.

The Martin Luther King Day Marathon of Big East games took place on Monday as the 2016-17 conference season kicked into high gear with a potpourri of intriguing matchups. The annual event salutes Dr. King's legacy as each team wore an "MLK" patch (pictured) to pay homage to the leader of the civil rights movement.
Creighton paid a visit to a hostile Cintas Center as the home Xavier Musketeers were ready to take down the #7 Blue Jays and give them their first statement win of the season. Thinks looked rough in the early going for the visiting Blue Jays as their star point guard Mo Watson Jr. went down with what appeared to be a serious knee injury early in the first half. The Blue Jays Marcus Foster rallied his team with 15 points as Creighton scored the last six points of the ballgame to steal a win, 72-67. It was Xavier's third straight conference loss. Watson will have an MRI on his knee as the Blue Jay faithful wait to hear if the national assists leader will be back soon or if his injury will put a promising Creighton season in jeopardy.
#13 Butler played host to Marquette at Hinkle Fieldhouse where the visiting Golden Eagles got off to a fast start and took a sixteen point lead into halftime. Whatever Bulldogs Coach Chris Holtmann told his team during the intermisson worked as his team shot the lights out in the 2nd half with a blistering 19 of 27 performance from the field. The Bulldogs prevailed 88-80 in front of a jubilant home crowd but make no mistake about it, Marquette will not be a pushover in conference play. Butler's Kelan Martin led his team with 22 points while Marquette's Markus Howard led all scorers with 26 points.
The new #1 team in the nation, Villanova, flexed some serious muscle on Monday evening as they destroyed the visiting Pirates from Seton Hall. A rematch of last year's Big East Championship, the Wildcats avenged their loss by quickly disposing of a Pirates team that looked overmatched for most of the contest. Villanova's Kris Jenkins scored 16 points as the home Wildcats won by thirty, 76-46. The Pavilion has been a house of horrors for the Pirates who haven't won at Villanova since 1994.
St. John's looked to stop a four game losing streak on Monday afternoon. The Red Storm hosted DePaul in front of a sellout crowd at Carnesseca Arena. Malik Ellison had a career high 23 points for St. John's as they ended their losing streak with a 78-68 victory over the Blue Demons. The Red Storm have three Big East wins and have shown some marked improvement in year two of Chris Mullin's tenure as head coach.
Providence looked to get their second win against Georgetown this season as they played the Hoyas in the nitecap of the marathon in Washington, DC. Rodney Bullock scored a game high 22 points for the Friars as they beat the Hoyas 74-56. Georgetown is now 1-5 in Big East Conference play with Creighton and Xavier next on the schedule. The Friars Kyron Cartwright was one rebound short of a triple-double (16 points, 11 assists, 9 rebounds).

Q: How can I exclude lambda functions in properties from code coverage? I am trying to gather some good code coverage stats for my C# application, but I would like to ignore the generated SubSonic classes as there is no real point in gathering code coverage statistics for these functions.
I have edited the ActiveRecord.tt file to include the [ExcludeFromCodeCoverage] attribute on every method and property, and this has removed most of the irrelevant results in my code coverage window. However, despite having the code coverage exclusion attribute, lambda expressions within properties are being marked as not covered. As an example:
[ExcludeFromCodeCoverage]
int GetValue
{
    get
    {
        this.SomeMethod(); // this is excluded
        return this.Find(x => x.Value == this._Value); // this.Find is excluded
                                                       // but x => x.Value == ...
                                                       // is not.
    }
}

This only occurs in properties. Lambda expressions are ignored within methods, as expected.
Now, to me, this is rather annoying, but not necessarily fatal, as I can just ignore these expressions as I browse my code coverage list. However, our client has demanded that our code coverage level be above 95%.
I could automatically generate unit tests along with the ActiveRecord.tt file, but this is hardly ideal.
Thank you for your time.

A: Though i'm not sure what tools you're using for unit-testing, you could try to move the attribute on top of the get method declaration:
int GetValue
{
    [ExcludeFromCodeCoverage]
    get
    {
        this.SomeMethod();
        return this.Find(x => x.Value == this._Value);
    }
}

This, because on compile time, the GetValue property is converted into a method, with signature get_GetValue : int

A: Add the [ExcludeFromCoverage] attribute to the class instead of the property. Everything within the class will be excluded, including the lambdas.

A: Idk what about C#, but in Java this can be done by using inner class
class SuperTest {

    @ExcludeFromJacocoGeneratedReport
    public Object test() {
        return Optional.of(1)
                .map(FunctionWrapper.mapFunction)
                .orElseThrow();
    }

    @ExcludeFromJacocoGeneratedReport
    public static class FunctionWrapper {

        static Function<Object, String> mapFunction = String::valueOf;

    }
}

A: Probably a little late to the party however it should work with below
int GetValue
{
    get
    {
        this.SomeMethod(); // this is excluded
        return this.Find([ExcludeFromCodeCoverage] x => x.Value == this._Value); // this.Find is excluded
                                                       // but x => x.Value == ...
                                                       // is not.
    }
}

I was struggling with very similar issue linking here if it helps others.

True Story: How Monopoly Saved Thousands of Lives
Joel Windels April 9, 2017 ArticlesVideos
If you're a fan of Best Play you should know by now that Monopoly is not only an awful game, but also has a dark, fascinating and cut-throat history. We've also listed our favourite 12 Monopoly editions and done an exhaustive statistical analysis of the game. Well, guess what? There's even more to this much-maligned marvel of gaming.
A truly interesting part of its history only came to light 40 years after it happened, when the British Government declassified a set of documents from World War Two. It turns out that Monopoly's impact on the West was far more profound and life-changing than the millions of copies sat on dusty shelves across people's homes would ever suggest.
It all started in the midst of the first world war, but not on the battlefield. A young man named Christopher Clayton Hutton, or Clutty to his friends, was involved in a daring stunt with famous escapologist Harry Houdini. In 1939, this stunt attracted the attention of a hiring officer in the British army. Soon after, Clutty was offered a job to work out the best way of getting supplies to prisoners of war stuck in Nazi detention camps.
After experimenting with all sorts of disguises, Clutty eventually settled on modifying Monopoly boards. Working with the game manufacturer Waddington's, maps of Europe were printed using silk in-lays and razor-thin instruments like compasses, files and blades were intricately inserted into the famous cardboard grid. These board games were then sneaked into Nazi camps as part of entertainment care packages.
It's estimated that more than 700 prisoners managed to escape camps during the war aided by the items concealed in Monopoly boards. In fact, these Monopoly boards were the only parcels used for smuggling during the entire war that were never detected by Nazi guards.
Perhaps the most amazing story in all this concerns an American soldier named David Bowling. Bowling was held behind German lines near Berlin. Once he learned of a secret Nazi plan to execute all allied prisoners of war, getting this news to London suddenly became a matter of life and death.
At 10pm, after lights out, Bowling crept out of his quarters and made his way to the perimeter fence. He cut his way through and made a dash for the nearby forest after the alarm had been raised. Eventually, he evaded his pursuers and reached a nearby town. Bowling ad managed to escape using money, a silk map, a tiny compass, wire cutters, and a saw that were all slipped into the camp inside a Monopoly board. Within days he had reached Zurich, where the horrifying news was shared with allied forces in London. Plans were adjusted, and thousands of doomed soldiers were rescued before they could be executed.
Monopoly. An undoubtedly terrible game, but something we still have plenty to be grateful for.

Quotes about Paramahansa Yogananda from leaders in the fields of science and education.
"One of the most significant trends of our time is the gradual emergence of a scientific understanding of the relationship between consciousness and matter....Doctors, as well as their patients, are now beginning to see how much our day-to-day health and well-being depends on our state of mind. The belief that the condition of our bodies is determined solely by physical factors is being swept away in the face of advanced research that has documented with statistical accuracy the impact of personality, emotions, and lifestyles upon the functioning of every bodily system, from the heart to the stomach and even to the immuno-system. Revealing the interrelatedness of body, mind, and soul, these researches have had a profound impact in the treatment of chronic pain, and have led to a view of pain that reveals the immense value of the "how-to-live" principles taught by Paramahansa Yogananda many years ago.

Station Songs is the third full length release from multi-instrumentalist and composer, Hans-Jurgen Fuchs, although he has been around for much longer, recording previously with his wife, Ines who also appears on this release playing keyboards having rediscovered her enjoyment of musical performance.
The concept is a simple one, the nine songs chart six different travellers in a railway station from their own viewpoint and from that of an interested observer (the eponymous Invisible Man),the vocals being ably shared between Baggi Buchmann and Michael Waslilewski. It explores the themes of transience, love, futility, alienation in an atmospheric art-rock setting, tending towards the pastoral, wistful pop-oriented end of the spectrum, allowing the listener to draw her own conclusions from the alternative viewpoints expressed. Fuchs has the luxury of a day job, he teaches and writes and produces musicals for teenagers and his experience in this regard shines through in his ability to establish a character, setting and atmosphere almost effortlessly. A recent student of Max Richter this piece sees Fuchs exploring ways of developing a narrative flow and establishing motifs within a minimalist setting. While this comes in general at the expense of avant-garde experimentation and heavier elements of a rock ensemble, there is one influence which is ever present, that of Tony Banks, whose signature keyboard tones are faithfully reproduced, particularly in the extended opening track The Invisible Man, and its later counterpart Sleepwalking Man a faithful hat-tip to a master. Throughout the album Fuchs is keen to take the opportunity to explore extended instrumental passages as a means of developing the narrative sketched in by his characters, weaving a skilful pattern of story-telling, always engaging and drawing the listener in to the theatrical world of the station.
As someone who has spent perhaps more time than is good for them passing through railway stations and wondering about the fellow travellers, I have great admiration for this work which demands to be treated as a unity rather than separate tracks. It is an engaging, spellbinding metaphor which represents Fuchs' most progressive work to date and is to be applauded. It is to be hoped that Fuchs are able to find an opportunity to perform this impressive piece in a live context. It is hugely enjoyable and its dramatic potential demands interaction with an audience.

Great experience, drove well for a large vehicle, would use Goondocker again.
Great owner, and this camper van was perfect for a four-day trip to Zion and Bryce National Parks. Starting the refrigerator on propane was a bit tricky, but then we realized we could use the AC power hookup on the driver's side of the vehicle, and the rest of the trip was superb!
Janeen is a terrific hostess! She is friendly and generous; she clearly cares about her customers as well as her well-equipped RV, and goes beyond the "call of duty" to help resolve problems whenever they arise.
Overall the RV worked great for us, everything is functional and we had a great trip. I would recommend the RV for people having multipile people for the amount of bed space available. Communication with Joe was hard at first but once we got in touch he was a pleasure to work with and accommodating.
Fantastic experience! This motorhome was great! It was clean, drove really nicely and easily, had every amenity we could have asked for. We were first time RV renters and everything was organized in a way we understood it all and they made it easy for us. Great communication and very accommodating owners also. No complaints at all, only positive things to say about this experience!
We found that our truck, even though it had a towing package, was missing a relay and fuse. KayCee's truck was the same as ours and he let us use his relay and fuse to pull the trailer with. He provided a generator that we did not use but was there if we needed it. Wow! He was great.
Patrick was great, He showed me how everything works and helped me get it hooked up to my truck.
I used the Trailer as a temporary home while visiting my Son and his family. Justin went above and beyond to help me. Because I was not traveling with the trailer he delivered setup and picked it up at my Sons home. When I couldn't get the hot water on he helped me through it. Yes, I would reccomend using this trailer again.
This was our first experience doing this and it was so easy. AJ was a pleasure to work with. Very flexible with pick up and drop off. Everything in the RV was clean and working. We would rent from him again in a heartbeat!!
The camper was newer unit and we enjoined the use of a nicer unit. We had a great time and we will certainly use RV Share and call on this unit again. Thanks Thomas for helping us have agreat week in Moab!
Dealing with the owner was so easy. She was informative and there if I had any questions. The walk-thru and pickup/drop off experience was quick and easy. A definite recommend.
Renting from Chad was easy and enjoyable. The van worked out fantasticly for five nights of Utah bliss. We drove nearly 1000 miles and slept in a differnt spot each night. Chad was a big help with figuring out all the logistics, he made things easy!!! The van camping eperience was great, so happy that we decided to travel this way, it was so much fun.. Thanks for a great RV Share experience.
Linda was very easy to work with and very accessible when I text her with questions. I hope to rent from Linda again.
Exceeded every expectation we had! Brian was super nice, flexible, responsive. The camper van was spotless, easy to drive, tons of amenities for the space and comfortable bed. This experience made us rethink buying a van when renting was so easy.
We had an excellent experience renting the Revel from Brian and Michelle. They were very accommodating with the pick-up/drop-off and conveniently located within a less than 30-minute Uber from the airport. Brian did a thorough job going over the vehicle before sending us on our way. The van was clean, ready to go and stocked with everything we needed for the week. The Revel was a blast to drive and easy to park in a regular car spaces. With the solar and water on board, the Revel is an excellent camper with truly "off-the-grid" capability. A perfect vehicle to visit all the amazing National Parks in the area. The entire experience exceeded our expectations!
It doesn't get any easier than this! The trailer itself is very clean and accommodating. TC was very easy to work with and even dropped the trailer at the camp area for us. He gave us a detailed tutorial on the operation of the unit and was accessible throughout the week as questions came up (was our first time in an RV:)) We will definitely be using this unit on our next trip to Moab. Thanks, TC!
Brett was really friendly and easy to work with. The RV is in good shape and was fun to take out.
This was our first experience with an RV and Brad and his RV were outstanding. It helped make our family vacation memorable.
Excellent Motorhome. Very spacious. Owners were great to work with, very accommodating. Clean rig, was ready to go at pick-up. Written instructions throughout for all the amenities and how they work. Adrie and Matt were awesome to work with. I will rent again from them, and wouldn't hesitate at all to recommend this motorhome.
We had a great week with this RV! Everything was new and clean and reliable. Thank you.
Extremely well appointed RV, drives like a dream and very comfortable to sleep in. The owner has done an exceptional job maintaining this vehicle and is most accommodating!
Robb & Ellie host a lovely, comfortable, & very well-maintained vehicle. Robb was wonderfully communicative before, during, & after our experience. His pre-rental walk-through was thorough. A couple of questions we had during our drive were answered promptly & effectively. We rented the vehicle in order to take a three-state tour through the sourthwest; unlimited mileage was especially attractive--we knew before leaving their driveway exactly what we would pay. It was a pleasure to work with them, we were quite happy with the vehicle, & we look forward to renting again from Robb & Ellie.

Deutsche Bank announces 1000 job cuts
Embattled German lender Deutsche Bank announced Thursday that an extra 1,000 jobs would be lost in its home nation as part of a restructuring plan.
It said that it had reached an agreement with its works councils on role reductions in Germany, stating another 1,000 jobs will now be reduced in Germany, on top of initial plans for 3,000 job losses.
This brings the total number of role reductions in the country to around 4,000 which is part of 9,000 jobs being reduced worldwide to make the group "more competitive" as part of its new strategy, it said.
Shareholders of Deutsche Bank arrive for the bank's annual general meeting in Frankfurt, Germany, May 19, 2016.

"We consistently implement our strategy to make the bank more efficient," said Karl von Rohr, member of Deutsche Bank's Management Board, in a press release on Thursday.
"We are fully aware that today's decision is a difficult change with significant personal impact for many employees. We will ensure that any staff reductions are carried out in a socially responsible manner," he added.
Shares of the bank climbed higher on the news and were trading up 0.5 percent at 1.30 p.m. London time.

Bryan Cranston, notable for being "The One Who Knocks" on Breaking Bad, is making his way back into the movies, and has signed on with James Franco to star in Why Him? The comedy poses Cranston as a father visiting her daughter at college, while Franco plays the daughter's whizz kid, billionaire boyfriend.
John Hamburg is set to direct, and co-wrote the script with Ian Helfer. Hamburg previously wrote Meet The Parents, Zoolander, and I Love You, Man, just to name a few, while Helfer wrote the 2012 film The Oranges.
Franco and Cranston have collaborated in the past on In Dubious Battle, an adaption of the John Steinbeck novel. Cranston will be seen next in Trumbo which will hit theaters November 6, and then in Kung Fu Panda 3 on January 29th, 2016. Why Him is expected to be released in 2016.

A healthy settings framework: an evaluation and comparison of midwives' responses to addressing domestic violence
Anne Lazenbatt, Julie Taylor, Lyn Cree
Moray House School of Education and Sport
Child Protection Research Centre
OBJECTIVES: To compare and contrast how midwives working in either hospital- or community-based settings address domestic violence by evaluating their views on: prevalence of domestic violence; their role in addressing domestic violence; the acceptability of routine enquiry; and barriers encountered in asking clients questions about violence and abuse in pregnancy. DESIGN: A postal survey questionnaire. SETTING: Northern Ireland. STUDY POPULATION: 983 hospital and community midwives. FINDINGS: Overall, 488 midwives returned a completed questionnaire; a 57% response rate. Comparisons were made using descriptive, inferential statistics and cross-tabulation. Although there were significant differences between hospital- and community-based midwives in relation to domestic violence, both groups of midwives tended to underestimate its prevalence. KEY CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that midwives per se identify and respond to a fraction of the cases of domestic abuse in pregnancy, due to lack of confidence, education and training. This reinforces the need for both hospital and community midwives to gain further confidence and an understanding of the many psychosocial factors that surround domestic violence. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Healthy settings theory can be used effectively to identify good practice with women who experience domestic violence. Effective investment for health care requires the gaps between hospital- and community-based practice to be bridged, and for work to be integrated.
