Faster-acting antidepressants may soon be a reality
Published	 Tuesday 1 August 2017	 Published	Tue 1 Aug 2017
By Tim Newman
Using cutting-edge techniques, researchers have investigated the mechanism by which common antidepressants work, finally pinning down the specific receptors responsible for their action. The findings might pave the way to designing improved, faster-acting antidepressants.
Understanding where antidepressants act is the key to improving their function.
Depression is characterized by persistent low mood and feelings of hopelessness, and it is one of the most common mental disorders in the United States. In 2014, there were an estimated 15.7 million U.S. adults who experienced at least one major depressive episode, representing around 6.7 percent of the country's adults.
Treatments for depression generally include talking therapies in conjunction with medication. The class of drugs most commonly prescribed is selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and these include brands such as Prozac and Zoloft.
SSRIs can help some people with depression, but they are not perfect; not everyone responds well to them, and side effects including nausea, insomnia, agitation, and erectile dysfunction can be unpleasant.
Also, SSRIs can take some time to kick in; although some people might feel some benefit within hours or even minutes, most people do not feel the full antidepressant effect until they have been taking the drugs for weeks or even months.
How do SSRIs work?
In the brain, messages are sent between neurons by releasing neurotransmitters into a gap between the cells, or the synapse. Serotonin is one such neurotransmitter. It is released from the first neuron and binds to receptors on the second neuron.
Normally, once serotonin has been released into the synapse and relayed its message, the majority is reabsorbed into the first nerve cell for reuse at a later date. SSRIs prevent serotonin from being reabsorbed. In this way, they ensure that serotonin hangs around in the synapse for a longer time, exerting more of an effect.
Antidepressant success affected by environmental conditions
Researchers investigate factors that influence how well SSRIs work.
Although SSRIs have been known to medical science since the 1950s, their exact mechanism is not understood. This is because there are at least 1,000 types of neuron that can be influenced by a surge in serotonin, and some of these neurons may be excited, while others might be inhibited.
The mixed response is because there are 14 subtypes of serotonin receptor throughout the body and any single nerve could have a cocktail of receptor types. Teasing out which receptor subtype is playing the most significant role has proven challenging.
The role of the dentate gyrus
A group of scientists from Rockefeller University in New York City, NY, recently set out to take a closer look at the action of SSRIs on a particular type of nerve cell. The team was headed up by Lucian Medrihan and Yotam Sagi, both research associates in the Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, and Paul Greengard, Nobel laureate.
Their findings were recently published in the journal Neuron.
"Many different types of synapses throughout the brain use serotonin as their neurotransmitter. An issue of major importance has been to identify where in the myriad of neurons the antidepressants initiate their pharmacological action."
Paul Greengard
The team concentrated on a group of cells in the dentate gyrus (DG). According to the authors, they chose the DG because previous work has established that "SSRI treatment promotes a variety of synaptic, cellular, and network adaptations in the DG."
Specifically, the team investigated cholecystokinin (CCK)-expressing neurons within the DG. These neurons were of interest because they are heavily influenced by neurotransmitter systems that are associated with mood disorders, such as depression.
Finding the right receptor
Using a technique called translating ribosome affinity purification, the team were able to identify the serotonin receptors on CCK cells. Sage explains, "We were able to show that one type of receptor, called 5-HT2A, is important for SSRIs' long-term effect, while the other, 5-HT1B, mediates the initiation of their effect.
The next step in the study involved efforts to mimic SSRIs' effects by manipulating CCK neurons in mice. They used chemogenetics to switch nerve cells on or off and implanted tiny electrodes inside the mouse brains.
The findings were clear. When the CCK neurons were inhibited, the pathways important for the mediation of SSRI responses lit up. In other words, the scientists had recreated a Prozac-like effect without using the drug.
To back up these findings, the team used behavioral experiments in a pool and observed swimming patterns. Again, silencing the CCK neurons created behavior that was similar to that displayed by the mice that had been given SSRIs: they swam for longer with increased vigor.
According to the researchers, understanding the importance of the DG and the specific cells important for treating depression will help to design faster-acting, more effective antidepressants with fewer side effects.
The work was carried out using techniques that would have been impossible just 5 years ago, and the studies that follow are likely to improve our understanding even further.

Maggie Stiefvater - The Raven Boys - Animated Book Trailer & Preview
Blue Sargent had forgotten how many times she'd been told that she would kill her true love. Her family traded in predictions. These predictions
tended, however, to run toward the nonspecific. Things like:
Something terrible will happen to you today. It might involve the number six. Or: Money is coming. Open your hand for it. Or: You have a big decision and it will not make itself.
The people who came to the little, bright blue house at 300 Fox Way didn't mind the imprecise nature of their fortunes. It became a game, a challenge, to realize the exact moment that the predictions came true. When a van carrying six people wheeled into a client's car two hours after his psychic reading, he could nod with a sense of accomplishment and release. When a neigh- bor offered to buy another client's old lawn mower if she was looking for a bit of extra cash, she could recall the promise of money coming and sell it with the sense that the transaction had been foretold. Or when a third client heard his wife say, This is a decision that has to be made, he could remember the same words being said by Maura Sargent over a spread of tarot cards and then leap decisively to action.
But the imprecise nature of the fortunes stole some of their power. The predictions could be dismissed as coincidences, hunches. They were a chuckle in the Walmart parking lot when you ran into an old friend as promised. A shiver when the number seventeen appeared on an electric bill. A realization that even if you had discovered the future, it really didn't change how you lived in the present. They were truth, but they weren't all of the truth.
"I should tell you," Maura always advised her new clients, "that this reading will be accurate, but not specific."
It was easier that way.
But this was not what Blue was told. Again and again, she had her fingers spread wide, her palm examined, her cards plucked from velvet-edged decks and spread across the fuzz of a family friend's living room carpet. Thumbs were pressed to the mystical, invisible third eye that was said to lie between everyone's eyebrows. Runes were cast and dreams interpreted, tea leaves scrutinized and séances conducted.
All the women came to the same conclusion, blunt and inex- plicably specific. What they all agreed on, in many different clairvoyant languages, was this:
If Blue was to kiss her true love, he would die.
For a long time, this bothered Blue. The warning was spe- cific, certainly, but in the way of a fairy tale. It didn't say how her true love would die. It didn't say how long after the kiss he would survive. Did it have to be a kiss on the lips? Would a chaste peck on the back of his palm prove as deadly?
Until she was eleven, Blue was convinced she would silently contract an infectious disease. One press of her lips to her hypo- thetical soulmate and he, too, would die in a consumptive battle untreatable by modern medicine.

Growing Pains in Boise, Idaho.
Kyle Basile - Friday, April 20, 2018
Locals cope with rising home prices, traffic;
'You have to plan ahead for restaurant reservations now'
Jim Carlton
April 15, 2018 8:00 a.m. ET
BOISE, Idaho—Laura Johansen has always loved the easiness of life in her hometown: The first-rate hiking and rafting a short drive from her front door. The quick commute to her job at a local hospital. The affordability.
But when Ms. Johansen, who was renting her home, decided to buy a house earlier this year, the Idaho native was shocked. The median price of a single-family home in Boise's Ada County had shot up to almost $300,000, well-above the $200,000 homes she was eyeing when she first considered homeownership two years ago.
"It does make it tough on locals like us," said the 57-year-old administrative assistant.
Shining On in the Gem State
A robust increase in jobs has accompanied a population boom in Idaho, but the influx of workers has recently caused housing prices to swell in places like Boise, the state capital.
The same qualities that have kept Ms. Johansen here are drawing waves of new arrivals from other states, making Idaho the fastest-growing state in the nation last year, according to the U.S. Census. Low costs and a business-friendly government are luring new employers, whose workers relish the backdrop of forested mountains above cities like Boise and the easy access to an outdoor paradise.
"I just fell in love with Boise," said Mac Harman, founder and chief executive officer of Redwood City, Calif.-based Balsam Brands, an online home décor retailer that has roughly doubled the number of employees at its new downtown office here over the past two years. "The people are so kind, and everything is so new and beautiful."
But as Idaho—and its capital city—have boomed, the state is also struggling to cope with the byproducts of its success: soaring housing prices, labor shortages and worsening traffic congestion in one of the more wide-open places in America.

The shift is a far cry from a decade ago when Idaho's economy collapsed during the recession, in part due to a housing glut. The state has since rebounded bigger than ever—with its population jumping 10% from 2011 to more than 1.7 million in 2017.
The rate of job growth has increased to the highest in the country, much of it concentrated in the Boise metro area, home to some 700,000 people. Construction cranes dot the modest-sized downtown, while new home developments extend into farm fields on the city's outskirts. At a Hammett Homes subdivision, cows grazed lazily behind a row of new homes.
Idaho's low crime rate, affordability and scenery have attracted Californians especially. According to U.S. Census data, 85% of Idaho's 15,784 net new arrivals from other states came from California in 2016.
"We're coming from California in droves, because it's gotten to the point we don't want to live there anymore," said Toni Wolfe, 51, a Los Angeles police detective who expects to retire this year, as she toured the Avimor development in the foothills above Boise. Ms. Wolfe said the idea of raising her daughter in a safe community was appealing

Boise's newfound popularity has already led to a housing shortage, with locals bearing the brunt. Median single-family home prices in Ada County have doubled from $147,000 in 2011 to $297,000, according to Intermountain Multiple Listing Service, Inc. That is well above the means of many Boise residents, whose median household income is $52,249.
"People are saying, 'How am I supposed to afford a home?' " said Dana Zuckerman, chair of the Capital City Development Corp., Boise's redevelopment agency.
Newlyweds and Boise-area locals Mike Morrow and Saira Ortiz found so few homes in their price range of about $200,000 that they ended up settling in late March for a two-bedroom townhouse for $202,000. They preferred a single-family home with a yard and more space, but lost out on one to a cash bid from a California buyer, broker T.C. Warford said.

"The disappointment has been so great," said Ms. Ortiz, 31, an accountant.
Rents are going up too. Debbie Morrison, a leasing agent for Wright Property Management, said her company has implemented rent increases of up to 10% in the past 12 months. By comparison, rents nationally went up 2.5% over the 12-month period ending in March, according to online research firm Yardi Matrix.
Meanwhile, once clear roads are often jammed each morning. Ms. Morrison said the 15-mile commute from her home in a Boise suburb to downtown, which two years ago took a half-hour, can now take as long as an hour.
Craig Shaul, research supervisor for the Idaho Department of Labor, said the growth has also led to a shortage of construction workers.
Subcontractor Jason Woods, for example, said he runs a crew of six carpenters on jobs in the Boise area when he needs a dozen, because he simply can't find any more. Workers will jump ship to another contractor who offers to pay more, he said.
With projections showing that Idaho could add another 200,000 people by 2025, planning experts said city and state officials will have to move quickly to keep up with infrastructure needs—namely more roads and sewage connections.

Three Things I Wish I Knew When I Started My Business - the glu.
1. It's OK to say "no".
When I first started out I was desperate to build Black Dog Gelato and took on any wholesale account that came to me. In doing so, not only did I find myself literally working around the clock, I formed partnerships with other businesses that weren't always in line withmy brand image. Now I take the time to evaluate how a relationship will impact our production and if it is in the best long-term interest of the brand.
2. Realize a better work/life balance.
When I opened my first shop, I worked long and hard hours, sometimes 20-plus hours at a stretch. I lived the business both in the kitchen and at home. I gave everything I had and I put a strain on my body, mind and personal relationships. By compromising my health and well-being, I became a weaker person which ultimately affectedmy performance at work. I can't say that I have achieved an optimum balance, but I work on it everyday and am happier for it.
3. Failure is just part of the process.
It took me years to get Black Dog up and running and there were days when I thought it was never going to happen because I didn't land a wholesale account or I couldn't find the investors I needed. I took these failures personally and probably wasted too much time lamenting my situation instead of adapting and developing a new strategy. The day before I signed the lease for the first shop, I started looking for a job because I thought it was over; I didn't have enough money. The next day I woke up, told myself I was going to do it anyway and the shop has been open for eight years.

Was looking at Wikipedia's Gunbuster page. According to Fanboys.net, the Gunbuster holds the record for most enemies killed by one mech in an anime. I always knew that Gunbuster kicked ***, but I didn't know it kicked that much ***.

That was over a relatively short number of battles, too. The Gunbuster has a lot of multi-directional, rapidfire weapons, and as Coach said... with Noriko and Kazumi inside it, the Gunbuster is a blazing inferno - and Gunbuster as a blazing inferno... muteki da!
Every time I watch the last two episodes, I'm even more impressed with the mechanical design of the Gunbuster. That dialogue I referenced above is probably my favourite bit in the series. Yeah, I know - how did it sneak past the "Gunbuster make stuff go boom" parts? Because it's god damned awesome, and it makes me feel hot blooded, that's why.

First of all I didnt like gunbuster, as it showed little plot, crappy animation, and hardly ANY dramatic scenes (maybe just for me?). Plus I dont think it killed the most. I mean cmon, there was what, 2 eps where it killed ANYTHING. In ep 5 it shot about 6 laser beams and sure, it took out a row of them with one shot but it didnt look to be that much. Maybe they are counting ep 6 where they used the planet jupiter and a giant nuke to make a black hole, but that was just gay (and it didnt show the enemies dying let alone if they were even there). I think thats just cheating personaly...

It's amazing how differently two people can see the same anime. I mean, I don't think it matters that our opinions differ, but it's surprising to me to see that you say it didn't have enough dramatic scenes. The other criticisms are just our different tastes, but that surprised me. It never fails to move me, and I just can't watch it without just... boiling inside. I wish that could have been the case for you, but of course I respect your taste.
Plus I dont think it killed the most. I mean cmon, there was what, 2 eps where it killed ANYTHING. In ep 5 it shot about 6 laser beams and sure, it took out a row of them with one shot but it didnt look to be that much.
*watches episode 5*
Hmm, I remember it blowing up a crapload of STMC with the lasers. I'll get back to you on that one.
Maybe they are counting ep 6 where they used the planet jupiter and a giant nuke to make a black hole, but that was just gay (and it didnt show the enemies dying let alone if they were even there). I think thats just cheating personaly...
Why, are the STMC any less dead? Think of it from a military perspective. The Earth was able to take out thousands of STMC assets with that operation. The Gunbuster managed to walk away from blowing up a giant nuke. That's pretty badass in my book.
Haha, well for me it was really the delivery of the drama. I know that it had it, but it just didnt hit me. Maybe it's becuase I watched it with japaneese dialoge and english subs (all today for the first time mind you), but I dont know. I didnt feel impacted by the main characters troubles becuase I didnt like her. On top of that, the series flew by way too fast with hardly any time to get to know the main character, have her face a few problems, etc. I felt it was too short. Now FLCL which was done by the same guys was GREAT! My all time fav for the music, animation, and the last episode (best of any anime I have watched so far in my book). I guess I wasnt hooked into to.
As for ep 5, it did take out maybe a hundred. About 4 with the first shot, that line of about a hundred guys with the second, and then pretty much just firing at the head ship. It didnt seem to add up to that much...
Now ep 6 yes from a military perspective it was a good way to kill the enemy, but I wanna watch the action! I wanted some bullets flying and stuff exploding, but all I got was a black hole *cries*. I dont count that as gunbusters kills, becuase I mean the planet Jupiter deserves some credit as well as the Earth filling it with nukes. Yea, gunbuster DID set it off in the end but compared to what the other two contributed that was nothing. Also, how in the crap did it survive that blast!? haha, I thought it to be too unreal and it didnt have a huge dramatic buildup. I think the anime fell flat on its face
I didn't really like FLCL so much. I couldn't get involved with it to any great degree. It's fun to watch, but it's sat on my shelf since I watched it. Gunbuster on the other hand, well, the more I think about it, the more I realise that it's easily my second favourite mecha anime, behind Zeta Gundam. It's probably in my top five overall.
Words just can't express how much I adore Gunbuster.
Ha ha, its ironic becuase its about the exact opposite for me. I loved flcl. For me it had the music (GREATEST MUSIC SO FAR), I loved the animators syle, there are a crapload of jokes such as when the pigeons come out of the tv when they main char on the tv says "What are these pigeons doing here!?" and a cat jumping fro on sided of the screen and looping around to the other side, and the ends of each episode posed a new conclusion. O well, I guess to each his own?
Reflect wrote: O well, I guess to each his own?
Of course. We each have something we enjoy, and that's all that counts.
I love FLCL, but I would watch Gunbuster over it any day, anytime, anywhere.

...And you expect people to respect your opinion? When it consists of "THAT WAS GAY"?
Aim for the Top/Gunbuster was and still is a masterpiece, in every sense of the word. The animation is phenomenal even today, the characters are all well developed, and there's tons of drama, especially compared to drivel like FLCL. The last episode alone is arguably unparalelled in animation in that category.
Aww, don't take it personal. I still love FLCL.
CrossboneGundam wrote: ...And you expect people to respect your opinion? When it consists of "THAT WAS GAY"?
Well yeah, I did kinda notice that, and disaproved, but no matter how much I disagree with the way in which he expressed his opinion, it's not going to change his mind, so I thought screw it.

It has been available in Europe, but that's not a great release, I assure you. The last I heard, Manga Entertainment had the license, and were planning a DVD release "real soon now".
This release is cut, although I don't really mind missing out on a few boob shots. It's also very badly subtitled.
Manga, you suck, and you suck hard.

umm, actually, it was a LOT more than a hundred of those things taken out per shot, remember that they were fighting in an area that is MUCh bigger than anything in reality(for example, the Gunbuster was pretty close to the size of the Empire State building, I believe, & yet it had to deal with THOUSANDS, not hundreds of enemies that were even bigger than it was). It's the scale of the whole thing that made it work, when you saw the enemy being blown up, it wasn't close-up, they appeared tiny in our view, because that was the only way to see a large number of them, & also a way to illustrate how big an area of effect the Gunbuster's weaponry had. Trust us, it was wiping out thousands of them in a shot, & then in the final battle, it had to help hold off MILLIONS of them to protect the Black Hole Bomb(& also remember that the enemy there took up ALL of the space of an entire stellar system, about the size of our solar system, a nearly unimaginable number), that's why it had such a rep as THE baddest mech of all time. But as the ther said, to each his own....

Definately not going to happen now; Manga Ent. lost the Region 1 licesence earlier this year. I, for one, am upset because I never had gotten a chance to watch it on either VHS or DVD and tried to get into Gunbuster 2, hoping the original would follow.
Well, perhaps someone else will pick it up (maybe ADV, as they seem to play favorites with GAINAX) and release it on DVD here, but I cannot imagine this happening anytime in the immediate future.

Led by a pair of out-of-nowhere performances from Michael Dyer and DeVante Parker the University of Louisville football team became postseason bowl eligible Saturday.
Dyer ran for 173 yards and a touchdown and Parker had nine catches for 132 yards, despite the fact that neither of whom was even a sure thing to play in the game, the Cardinals rolled over North Carolina State 30-18 in an Atlantic Coast Conference game at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.
Will Gardner also threw a pair of touchdown passes and John Wallace booted three field goals as UofL (6-2, 4-2) bounced back from its disappointing loss at Clemson with a homecoming win.
The Wolfpack (4-4, 0-4) played the Cards tough, though. N.C. State trimmed Louisville's lead to five (23-18) with 2:21 to play before Dyer broke free for a 46-yard TD run 1:37 later to seal the win.
Dyer (thigh contusion) and Parker (broken foot) weren't locks to play due to injuries, but both looked very good in their returns to the field.
UofL didn't escape unscathed, however. Running back Brandon Radcliff didn't play in the second half due to turf toe while Dominique Brown, who is apparently dealing with an ankle injury, did't register a carry. Add those to the fact that both wide receiver James Quick and linebacker Lorenzo Mauldin left the game due to injuries and a bye week couldn't come at a better time for the Cards, who next host No. 2 Florida State on Oct. 30.
Here's a quick look at what else happened in UofL sports this past weekend:
Jerry Ramirez's goal, off an assist from Tim Kubel, with less than four minutes to play in the first overtime period lifted the men's soccer team to a 2-1 upset of second-ranked Syracuse on Friday night in at ACC match at Lynn Stadium. Kubel's penalty kick in the 78th minute sent the match into extra time. The Cards (7-5-1, 4-2-0) next host Evansville at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday night.
Fourth-inning RBI singles from sophomore Michael Bollmer and freshman Brendan McKay gave the Kiekhefer Krush a 2-1 victory over Vrable's VIctors in the decisive game of the baseball team's best-of-three Pizza Bowl series.

Q: Mocha tests not failing when they should I'm trying to test my routes file, and mocha is returning success for all of my expects, even though I've coded a couple that should absolutely fail. I added a 2+2 = 5 test just to make sure something would fail. I have done() in my assertion blocks.
I'm using a MEAN stack, and I tried to test the node files with jasmine, since I'm already using that to test the Angular files, but got tons of crazy errors, so I threw all that out and decided to give mocha a try instead.
Results:
  Routes
    1) makes sure something fails
    GET /
      √ returns status code 200
    GET /nonexistent
      √ returns status code 400
    GET /api/todos
      √ returns status code 200
      √ returns a list of todos

Test file
// test/routes.spec.js

var request   = require('request');
var expect    = require('chai').expect;

describe('Routes', function() {

    var base_url = "http://localhost:8080/"

    // does fail as expected
    it("makes sure something fails", function () {
        expect(2 + 2).to.equal(5);
    });

    describe("GET /", function() {
        it("returns status code 200", function() {
            request(base_url, function(error, response, body) {
                expect(response.statusCode).to.equal(200);
                done();
            });
        });
    });

    //should fail
    describe("GET /nonexistent", function() {
        it("returns status code 400", function () {
            request(base_url + "/nonexistent", function (error, response, body) {
                expect(response.statusCode).to.equal(200);
                done();
            });
        });
    });

    describe("GET /api/todos", function() {
        it("returns status code 200", function() {
            request(base_url + "/api/todos", function(error, response, body) {
                expect(response.statusCode).to.equal(200);
                done();
            });
        });

        //should fail
        it("returns a list of todos", function() {
            request(base_url + "/api/todos", function(error, response, body) {
                console.log(body);
                expect(body).to.equal("abcd");
                done();
            });
        });
    });

});

Routes file:
// app/routes.js

var Todo = require('./models/todo');

module.exports = function(app) {

    // api ---------------------------------------------
    // get all todos
    app.get('/api/todos', function (req, res) {
        Todo.find(function (err, todos) {
            if (err)
                res.send(err)
            res.json(todos);
        });
    });

    // create todo and send back all todos after creation
    app.post('/api/todos', function (req, res) {
        Todo.create({
            text: req.body.text,
            done: false
        }, function (err, todo) {
            if (err)
                res.send(err);

            Todo.find(function (err, todos) {
                if (err)
                    res.send(err)
                res.json(todos);
            });
        });
    });

    // delete a todo
    app.delete('/api/todos/:todo_id', function (req, res) {
        Todo.remove({
            _id: req.params.todo_id
        }, function (err, todo) {
            if (err)
                res.send(err);

            Todo.find(function (err, todos) {
                if (err)
                    res.send(err)
                res.json(todos);
            })
        })
    })

    // application --------------------------------------
    app.get('*', function (req, res) {
        res.sendFile(__dirname + '/public/index.html');
    });
};

A: You want to use the done callback but none of your tests declare it in the parameters of the callbacks passed to it. Your first test, for instance, should be:
it("returns status code 200", function (done) { // <== Add parameter here!
    request(base_url, function(error, response, body) {
        expect(response.statusCode).to.equal(200);
        done();
    });
});

Without the parameter, Mocha considers the test to be synchronous. So it does not wait for request to call its callback, and ends right away. The fact that done is undefined does not lead to an error because the JavaScript interpreter does not get to done() before Mocha deems the tests over.

A: I'm a JavaScript novice and had to change my code from
it('getReports', () => {
  getReports()
    .then((res) => {
      assert.equal(200, res.statusCode);
    });
});

to
it('getReports', () => getReports()
  .then((res) => {
    assert.equal(200, res.statusCode);
  }));

i.e. Had to remove the first set of curly brackets.
After this the Mocha tests reported an error.

A: Starting with Node 8 you can use the native async/await approach for requests and testing.
First use request-promise or request-promise-native instead request.
const request = require('request-promise-native');

Tests with async/await:
// testing success results - any error will fail the test
it('Returns status code 200', async () => {
    const response = await request(base_url);
    expect(response.statusCode).to.equal(200);
});

// testing for a particular error
it('Testing a particular error is thrown', async () => {
    let error;
    try {
        await request(base_url);
    } catch (err) {
        error = err;
    }
    expect(error).to.be.ok;
    expect(error.message).to.equal('Expected error message');
});

A: In my case running test files with the below command solved the problem.
node --unhandled-rejections=strict node_modules/.bin/mocha  --require @babel/register --require babel-polyfill test/**/*.test.js

Q: postscript scaling Hi this is a bit of a long shot but I'm curious as to whether it can be done. I'm creating a graph with gnuplot and outputting as postscript, is there a way to make the graph dynamic such that as you zoom in the numbers on the axis scale. i.e. zoomed out you see 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Zoomed in to a section sees 1.1, 1.2, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 .
Cheers.

A: No -
although a postscript file is actually a program in a full-fledged language, it has no information on zoom level when being rendered.
It is possible that some postscript implementations have a way for the postscript program to actually know the raster resolution is rendering too - and if that is true, it would be theoretically possible, but it would be non-trivial. Non-trivial as in: require a lot of coding in postscript itself, including dinamically generating the label's text - usually
text in postscript files is "hard coded" in place at time of generation of the postscript file itself. It certainly would not just a quick hack prepended to the file

A: PostScript graphics state has current transformation matrix. Everything is multiplied by this matrix. Executing PostScript command scale before drawing the graph effectively changes the current transform matrix elements to scale the output. Do your development tools provide any means to embed raw PostScript code?

A: PostScript is a programming language where you have if else statements to control the logic. So depending on a current scale you could calculate you can draw other things. It might be possible if you do it yourself but needs logic that you need to come up with (that is called programming ;-))

W okresie intensywnego rozwoju owczarstwa w Wielkopolsce, owce tej rasy stanowiły drugą pod względem liczebności  populację w Polsce. Za szczyt liczebności owiec tej rasy, uznaje się rok 1986, gdzie liczebność wynosiła 4.991 tys. sztuk. Za wyhodowanie owcy wielkopolskiej zespół prof. Z. Śliwa, doc. E. Kozal i dr A. Gut otrzymał Nagrodę Państwową drugiego stopnia.  Największe i najstarsze stado zarodowe znajduje się w miejscowości Brody, w Doświadczalnym Gospodarstwie Rolnym Uniwersytetu Przyrodniczego w Poznaniu.

Tuesday Media Transcript: S Landon Collins
Q: What did you learn about the guys in the locker room from the win on Sunday against Kansas City?
A: We�re going to definitely fight back. Just a lot of guys stepping up and just trying to be better � better teammates and better players on the field.
Q: There�s still a long way to go to get back to respectability, right?
A: Yeah, correct, we�ve got a long way to go, but we keep working at it every day. Day-by-day, week-by-week, game-by-game, we�re going to keep on improving.
Q: Did the defense feel like themselves on Sunday?
A: Yeah, definitely. We were playing fast, we were on the same page. We played and did our job to the best of our ability and everybody did what they were supposed to do, so that was the best thing about it.
Q: How important is it to keep the momentum going on Thursday night against the Redskins?
A: It�s a long week, but at the same time, we�re not thinking about the week, we�re just thinking about playing the game and just being back on the field and being our best. Being our best us and by doing so, we�re going to take the momentum that we took from playing against the Chiefs and from that point on, we�re going to sit down and have the mindset of what we did and how we got. Hopefully, how we got those two wins, we harp on it and keep that going.
Q: What does Thanksgiving mean to you?
A: Thanksgiving means, really, just to be thankful for just the opportunity that I have to open my eyes each and every morning. To be there for my kids, be accountable for them and be grateful for every opportunity that I�m getting today.
Q: What are some of your favorite Thanksgiving dishes?
A: My all-time favorite is ham. The ham is the best part, with the pineapples on top. But the best part is baking sweet potato pies with my mom.
Q: Can a short week help carry the momentum over from a win on Sunday?
A: I think so. You just kind of got a win and you kind of still got that hype behind you. Not as in a good hype, but behind each other and that good feeling that we can do this again and we want to just showcase it right then and there and we�ve got the opportunity to do so. I think so, yeah.
Q: Does playing on national television help keeps guys focused?
A: Yeah, I think so too because at the end of the day, it�s primetime. Everybody�s watching that game, it�s Thursday Night Football. So at the same time, yeah. You�re representing this organization and at the same time you�re representing yourself and you don�t want to get embarrassed in those type of games.


Meet the slim bifold No. 2 - an ultra slim wallet made with real, full grain leather and compact enough to fit in your front pocket. Its small form factor does not compromise its utility, though. You can keep your currency bills in it without folding them up. This fully functional wallet feels surprisingly roomy and can easily put any run-of-the-mill fat wallet to shame. We designed this wallet to carry 4-8 cards and 20 currency bills.
The vegetable tanned leather gives this wallet a deep and rich patina over time, and more importantly, incredible strength.
We have 2 of these on sale under the As-Is Sale because of fine surface scratches in one or two spots on the wallet. These are cosmetic defects, very imperceptible and we vouch that these do not impact the functioning of the wallet. It has been made with premium full grain vegetable tanned leather (North American cowhide) and built to last a lifetime.
The leather used around 1 mm thick.

For 25 years, Billy Jonas — performer, singer-songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and educator — has perfected the art of the neo-tribal hootenanny with audiences around the globe. Billy developed his craft in the late 1980's as a founding member of the Oberlin College Big Bang Theory performance art collective. He refined things further in Chicago during monthly "Bangalong with Billy" shows at the No Exit Cafe, and subsequently in the 1990's as a co-founder (with Bill Melanson) of the funky folk duo The Billys. Billy tours solo and with Billy Jonas Band, who were honored with a White House performance in 2010. Using voice, guitar, and homemade industrial re-percussion, each concert is a soul-spelunking, heart healing, joy-filled journey.

For all the songs out there, and all the music programs, there weren't always a lot that specifically worked for these Early Childhood themes and concepts – the themes I had built my curriculum around. So, I started writing songs anywhere I felt a need for one, and soon I had an album's worth of music. Whether songs that sprang up from the books we read, like The Brown Bear Rap, or about washing our hands or about trains – I suddenly had a knack for writing preschool appropriate songs great for the classroom, and perfect for the Early Childhood community because it was designed especially for them and the people who love them.

Porto is 300km / 186mi north of Lisbon but good flight, road and rail connections make it very easy to get to.
If you're wondering whether you can visit Porto as a day trip from Lisbon, it's doable if you plan carefully. The city is smaller than Lisbon, and most sights are within walking distance. However, if you have time, Porto deserves at least one night's stay – its historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Centre.
The atmospheric Cais da Ribeira riverfront, the unique Dom Luís bridge, the beautiful São Bento station, and the port wine lodges on the opposite side of the Douro River, are some of the highlights of Portugal's second city (check out our travel guide for visiting Porto). Here you can find out how to get from Lisbon to Porto.
There are frequent trains from Lisbon to Porto. The service is operated by CP. Choose the fast train, called Alfa Pendular (AP), which runs every hour or so. The trip takes about three hours.
In Lisbon, trains leave from Santa Polónia and Oriente stations. Santa Polónia is the old central station, while Oriente is the modern station in Parque das Nações, close to the airport. You can get to both stations by metro (blue and red lines). In Porto, you arrive at Campanhã station and should take another train to São Bento station in central Porto (this journey is included in your Alfa Pendular ticket).
Tickets can be booked on CP's website up to 60 days in advance. You can get a promo ticket in second class for around €10 one way, but this price may be hard to get as it is only available for travel during certain hours and booked 5, 8 or more days in advance. A regular ticket will cost you anything from €25 to €32 one way.
The bus between Lisbon and Porto takes about three hours and 30 minutes. Buses run every hour and a half throughout the day, and the service is carried out by Rede Expressos / Renex.
In Lisbon, you can take the the bus to Porto at either Sete Rios bus terminal (metro's blue line) or Oriente station (metro's red line). The bus terminal in Porto is located about 10 minutes walking distance from Bolhão and the city's main attractions.
Tickets are about €17 one way, and all trips can be booked on Rede Expressos' website up to 30 days in advance.
Several daily flights, carried out by Ryanair and TAP, connect the two major Portuguese cities. A flight from Lisbon to Porto takes 55 minutes. During flash sales, return flights can be as cheap as €20, which is lower than the usual train and bus fares. The regular fare ranges between €30 – 50.
Overall, expect the journey to take around 3 hours. This includes at least 30 minutes before departure at your boarding gate, as well as the time spent getting to and from airports. Lisbon Airport is 10km from the city centre, and it takes 35 minutes by metro to get there. Porto Airport is 12km from the Bolhão metro station in the city centre, and it takes about 40 minutes to get there (unlike Lisbon metro, Porto metro runs mostly on the surface).
The journey from Lisbon to Porto takes about three hours on the A1 motorway. Tolls from Lisbon to Porto can be quite expensive. Expect to pay around €22 just in toll fares.
If you want to hire a car, check out our page on car rental in Lisbon, which includes advice on where to hire a car in the city, some car rental companies to compare prices from, and things to know when hiring a car in Portugal – for instance, why it's best to get a Via Verde toll transponder from your rental car company.

Parkland Deputy Arrested for Doing "Absolutely Nothing"
On February 14th, 2018, tragedy struck Stoneman Douglas High School as a gunman open fired killing 17 people. Footage shows that the then school resource officer, Deputy Scott Peterson, did not enter the building to confront the shooter. Many people became angry with his inaction and called him a coward. Peterson retired shortly after the incident. However, the Parkland sheriff has formally fired him.

The Truth About Mass Shootings in America
Ryan Lau | @agorisms
Without a doubt, mass shootings are a major issue in the United States today. Too often, a gunman opens fire and kills innocent people. As a result, many American citizens and officeholders alike are calling for drastic increases in gun control. They believe that doing so will help to reduce gun violence in America.
To defend this point, two figures are often touted; that there is nearly a mass shooting a day in America and that our country is a radical outlier in mass shootings and violence. Ultimately, though, neither of these points rings true. Both reside on a faulty foundation that involves manipulating the facts.

Marco Rubio Proves Politicians Will Do Anything for Votes
Indri Schaelicke | United States
In January of 2016, speaking at a New Hampshire campaign event, Republican Presidential hopeful Senator Marco Rubio reaffirmed his pro-gun right stance. "I believe that every single American has a Constitution—and therefore God-given right—to defend themselves and their families," Rubio said. The statements he made at this rally were clearly politically motivated- he was attempting to build a base of voters in a state with a strong commitment to gun rights, especially among Republicans. And it sort of worked- he received 10% of the vote in the New Hampshire Republican primary and came away with 2 delegate votes.

Governor Jerry Brown's New Gun Control Laws Are Foolish
By Teagan Fair | United States
On Friday, Jerry Brown, Governor of California, signed bills advancing gun control within the state. A notable piece of this is a law that will raise the minimum age for buying rifles and shotguns from 18 years old to 21 years old.
It is a bit over seven months since the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, when 19-year-old gunman Nikolas Cruz killed 14 students and 3 teachers, injuring 17 others, using a Smith & Wesson M&P15, which is an AR-15 style semi-automatic rifle. This event launched the left into a full out attack on the second amendment and gun rights. Three weeks after the shooting in Parkland, California passed laws that raised the legal age to purchase a gun, banned bump stocks and allowed police to bar a mentally ill person from owning guns for up to a year if judged to be mentally ill by a court.
Seven months later, California has passed laws that will be put into place on January 1st. The minimum age to buy a rifle or a shotgun will be 21 years of age. These laws also ban firearms for those convicted of serious domestic violence and those who have been hospitalized due to their mental health more than once in a year. Another bill governor signed by the governor will make it easier for both family members and police to seize guns and ammunition from those who are 'threatening and potentially violent'.
Like all of these proposed gun control laws, raising the minimum age to buy a firearm to 21 is ridiculous. Of course, you can join the military at 18 and kill people for the government. You can invade countries, attack people you've never met and destroy or take lives of innocent people if it's in the name of the government, but you cannot defend yourself from people trying to attack you unless you are three years older than the minimum age to do previously mentioned activities. If it's not in the name of the government, of course, it's sinister now. You can vote for who will represent you at 18, but owning a tool used to defend from criminals, private or government, is somehow malicious. More people are killed by cars than guns each year, yet you can drive at 16 years old.
Not to mention the fact that putting a law on it will likely prove useless, as is true for most gun control arguments. For this particular case, if someone has their mind fixed on committing murders, they will 1. Do so whenever possible, whether that time is when they are 16, 18, 21, etc. and/or 2. Kill by any means necessary, whether that is doing so by gun, knife, car, chemicals, a bat, a sharp stick, jabbing a spoon into someone's throat, etc. Additionally, if someone is actually fully willing to commit mass murder, they will not be scared of the fact that they are not allowed to buy a gun, considering the fact that it's incredibly easy to purchase guns illegally, and no law will change that. It's pretty hard to imagine a mass murderer thinking, 'Man, I really want to go into a vulnerable area and kill as many defenseless children as I can in cold blood, but apparently I'm not allowed to go and buy a gun. Wouldn't want to do anything illegal, because it's not like I'm prepared to kill vulnerable teenagers!' Obviously, if one does not fear mass murder, they will not fear buying a firearm illegally.
This rule can go for most legislation, including all of the previously stated laws coming into place starting in January. People convicted previously of domestic violence, will obviously not be afraid to illegally obtain a firearm if it supports the much worse crime they are already planning and not afraid to commit. Any future mass murder does not fear gun control laws. Yes, Governor Brown, even if they are mentally ill. Law abiding citizens, on the other hand, who have no interest in murder, hence why they are considered law-abiding citizens, are the only ones who will likely be affected by such laws, leaving them defenseless and in a worse state than before.
Governor Brown's laws are foolish, both morally and practically. There is no excuse for us to sit and watch as our rights are gradually taken away. I advocate for those who wish for these rights to be protected to stand up to those enforcing these laws on law-abiding citizens so that we can attempt to protect our liberty.

How Far Will Government Go to Try to Reduce Gun Violence?
By Casey Ward | United States
These days there are more states than ever adopting arbitrary gun laws. Essentially, these only make people feel better, rather than actually saving any lives. Amidst all the discussion, one thing is missing. How far are gun control advocates willing to go to enforce these laws?
To fuel the discussion with those willing to create more legislation:
Do you support gun control and how much?
What is the purpose of gun control?
How do you think that those weapons would be confiscated?
How many out of the 55,000,000 gun owners are you willing to kill in order to enforce these laws?
When answering the first question, most will say assault weapons are bad without even defining what an assault weapon is. The problem here is that when given vague wording, it is on purpose to slip in more restrictions without contest. The average restrictions supporter would describe an assault weapon as "full auto" even though full auto is next to impossible to get right now, so unless you have $10,000+ just for stamps and other legal fees.
The next most common restriction is bump stocks. Then, there are mental health and the terror watch-list restrictions. In both of these, many harmless individuals are listed due to a false positive in the system. It is also worth noting that poor mental health does not mean someone is violent. Depression and anxiety are the two largest mental illnesses in America, yet seldom cause violence towards others. Still further are laws regarding those with restraining orders Mental health, the terror watch list, and restraining orders completely violate due process, effectively making them guilty until proven innocent.
In response to the second, question gun control advocates will likely claim restrictions are to reduce gun violence. Along with all of the school shootings in today's media, there is also some conjured up belief that banning guns will magically make kids stop killing each other. This simple is not the case. Using Australia as a counterexample, it is clear that violent crime does not fall when the state creates more laws.
Typically, the proposed method to confiscate these guns is through some sort of voluntary buy-back. However, if it fails, policemen with guns will have to fill the role of enforcer. People will not just hand over their weapons, as proven in New Jersey, Denver, and Massachusetts. Sending the police to someone's home is considered attempted murder, but where is the line? Is it only attempted murder when kids online do it Does it count when adults proclaim something illegal and beg armed killers to do their dirty work?
Surely, many are willing to use gun violence to stop gun violence. Thus, the veracity of trying to stop gun violence goes out the window. Though this is perhaps the most ironic instance of police coercion, it is far from the only one. Every new law requires an increase in coercion to enforce it. Ask these questions and see, is it really worth the lives that will inevitably be lost?

I bleed for the first time in two years. I tell everyone. Someone close to me says, wow, it's like you're a real woman again. Amenorrhea means no children, or children if you're lucky. The Latin translates to no moon. I am a moonless woman. The Pollock painting does not depict me. Often, I think of the infertile wife & the husband who leaves her. How nobody wants to admit they've been left. But I'm a real woman now. Someone will keep me. Someone will look past the other things. The insomnia. The compulsion to pick holes in freshly healed skin. I can cook, too. I can clean. I can read to kids at night, even if they aren't mine.
