Q: Retaining a radio button action after form validation I have an html form that has radio buttons (Eg: Yes/No). When I click 'Yes', some text boxes and other elements will become visible. When click 'No' those visible elements will hide. My issue is, lets say I click 'Yes' and a text box appears. But while form submission, validation failed. But the text box appeared earlier now disappeared although radio button remains 'Yes'. I need to toggle again to 'No' and then back to 'Yes' in order for the text box to appear again. Does anyone have idea how to solve it? My codes are as below. I am using php to submit form with some validation.

$('#techYes').click(function() {
  if ($('#techYes').is(':checked')) {
    $(".tempPerm").show(); //Showing the whole hidden div
  }
});

$('#techNo').click(function() {
  if ($('#techNo').is(':checked')) {
    $("#revisionTechform").val(''); //Resetting techform Revision to NIL
    $("#techFormRemarks").val(''); //Resetting techform Remarks to NIL
    $("#temp").prop('checked', false); //Resetting Temporary Radio button
    $("#perm").prop('checked', false); //Resetting permanent Radion button
    $(".tempPerm").hide(); //Hiding the whole div
  }
});

<fieldset class="form-group">

    Techform Updated?

      <input type="radio" class="form-check-input " name="techformUpdated" id="techYes" value="techYes" <?php if (isset($_POST[ 'techformUpdated']) && $_POST[ 'techformUpdated']=="techYes" ) echo "checked";?>>
      Yes

      <input type="radio" class="form-check-input" name="techformUpdated" id="techNo" <?php if (isset($_POST[ 'techformUpdated']) && $_POST[ 'techformUpdated']=="techNo" ) echo "checked";?> value="techNo">
      No

</fieldset>

Edit
After many trials I am able to validate the form using jquery and now I am trying AJAX method to send the form data to a php file. But I am still having problem. Can someone help? My codes are as below. To understand the AJAX part, i edited the code slightly so that it won't confuse others.

<form method="post">

            Project ID

              <?php
                if(isset($_POST['prjId'])){
                  echo '<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Project ID" name="prjId" id="prjId" value="'.$_POST['prjId'].'">';
                } else{
                  echo '<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Project ID" name="prjId" id="prjId">';
                }

              ?>

            Updated Date

              <?php
                if(isset($_POST['udatedDate'])){
                    echo '<input type="date" class="form-control" name = "updatedDate" value="'.$_POST['udatedDate'].'">';
                }else{
                  echo '<input type="date" class="form-control" name = "updatedDate">';
                }

              ?>

                <input type="submit" name ="btn-upload" class="btn btn-primary" value="Save" id="saveBtnInitial">

</form>

The email_send.php page codes as below

<?php
$prjId = $_POST['prjId'];
echo $prjId;

USDA finds University mistreated lab primates
http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/2010/07/30/26199/
Published: Friday, July 30th, 2010 University researchers provided inadequate amounts of water to lab primates and violated or failed to document compliance with pre-approved protocol, according to findings from a routine inspection of animal research facilities conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture at the University in late June.
The report cited 13 violations, which included using a method to induce anesthesia that was not pre-approved, surgically placing two monitoring devices in different anatomic locations of a primate without written scientific justification and administering anesthetics following a craniotomy only on an "as needed" basis rather than routinely. A craniotomy involves temporarily removing a bone flap from the skull to access the brain.
A University animal researcher familiar with the investigation, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that the report noted technical violations and did not reflect the overall health of the University's primates. Some animal rights activists have expressed skepticism at such a justification.
"It's just ironic because as soon as the inspector comes in, she says the monkeys look great," the researcher said. "Then she goes through these records and finds that she needs to write up these citations, but her bottom line is that the monkeys are treated extremely well."
The primates have access to amenities such as large-screen televisions playing cartoons during the day and a full-time caretaker, the researcher said. The researcher also explained that no experimentation results in the death of the animals and that the primates are sent to a sanctuary upon the completion of research.
"For the most part, the issue was documentation," University spokeswoman Emily Aronson said. "Water was given to the animals regularly."
Records from the National Institutes of Health show that the University is involved with research in the "multisensory integration of faces and voices in the primate temporal lobe." Aronson said there are 15 macaques and 10 marmosets housed at the University.
The researcher said that the occasional mistake in documentation was not unusual, given the volume of records required by existing regulations. Records for procedures like the administration of anesthesia may include the dates of related surgeries, the timing and dosage of medications, observations of signs that animals may be experiencing pain, and any consultation of veterinarians.
This explanation, however, did not address the concerns of Michael Budkie, co-founder and executive director of Stop Animal Exploitation Now, the organization that originally brought the USDA report to the media's attention.
"These kinds of procedures are not unique to Princeton," said Budkie, who studied animal health technology at the University of Cincinnati. He added that he thought it was especially unusual for a single research institution to have so many citations in one inspection and also found it worrisome that most of the issues raised by the USDA regarded one set of experiments.
According to the Animal Welfare Act of 1966, every institution that participates in federally funded animal research must have an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee that pre-approves experiment protocols and upkeep procedures. The University's committee includes a practicing scientist with experience in animal research, a veterinarian, and a community member who is not otherwise affiliated with the University, Aronson said.
Aronson noted that the University was already aware of some of the problems raised by the USDA prior to the visit and was in the process of correcting them, as well as implementing an action plan to strengthen the University's IACUC. Eight of the citations involved procedure violations linked to the IACUC's ineffectiveness.
Annual USDA inspection reports from 2007 and 2008 contained no citations, and a report from 2009 cited two non-compliance items.
The University has also earned voluntary accreditation from the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care, which generally requires higher standards than those mandated by federal law, Aronson said.
Even in light of the citations, the researcher said that animal experimentation was an important part of making beneficial scientific advancements. Most modern surgical techniques and medicines are first tested on animals, which reduces the need for and risk to human subjects, the researcher said.

Harper College Distinguished Alumnus Larry Moats has never forgotten a five minute conversation he had with his English professor 50 years ago that he says changed his life and inspired a lifetime of learning.
Larry didn't like high school but knew that if he wanted to move ahead in life, he would have to "get through college." After enrolling at Harper, one of his first classes was English with Professor Robert Powell.
On his first paper, Larry received a C. He approached Professor Powell to discuss his grade. Larry remembers their conversation – the questions that Professor Powell asked him during the short five-minutes they shared. Professor Powell offered Larry the opportunity to rewrite the paper for a new grade. Larry received an A, a newfound appreciation for learning, for Harper College and for the professor who gave him a second chance.
Larry attributes this five-minute conversation with Professor Powell as a turning point in his life. It showed him that it doesn't take a lot – just a small amount of time – to have a big impact on a student's life.
After graduating from Harper, Larry ran for, and won, a seat on Harper College's Board of Trustees. In 1969, at the age of 21, Larry became the youngest elected official in the state, and served 15 years on the College's Board of Trustees. "I am passionate about the contribution that Harper made in my life. I had great experiences in and out of the classroom - they couldn't have been any better," he reflects.
During the next three decades, Larry stayed involved with Harper and continued to stay connected with Professor Powell.
Two years ago, Larry created the Professor Powell and Larry Moats Extra Five Minutes Faculty Award in memory of Professor Powell, who passed away in 2011. This unique endowed award recognizes a Harper College faculty member each year who has inspired students, given them extra time and made a difference in their lives. Nominees for the award are identified by Harper graduates who are asked to reflect on their experiences at Harper College and identify a teacher who has exemplified the award criteria.
The recipient of the Professor Powell and Larry Moats Extra Five Minutes Award for 2014 is Biology instructor, Nellie Khalil.
Emergency and Disaster Management was the dream career, Harper College was the place. Learn about Hillary Gack's road to success.

This Week's Top Comedy Video: Homeland The Musical
Filed to:Humor
Homeland is coming back this Sunday! After an uneven second season, what's the third season going to be like? Should we hope for something as brilliant as the first even though it might be unrealistic or should we just root for Homeland... The Musical to happen on Broadway. After watching the hilarious video above, I think we should hope that The Musical version will happen.
For the rest of this week's top comedy videos, including speed dating, what really happens when you're under anesthesia and Zach Galifianakis interviewing Justin Bieber can be found over at Splitsider.
It was the second week of fall TV season, with the premieres of South Park, Parks and Recreation, The Michael J. Fox Show, The Crazy Ones, and more.
SNL's new season premieres tomorrow. We looked at the biggest transitional seasons in the show's history and made a list of things looking forward to this season. Nick Rutherford, the lone member of sketch group Good Neighbor who wasn't hired this year, talked about that experience for the first time.
Just prior to Breaking Bad's finale, we looked at creator Vince Gilligan's past as a comedy writer.
Justin Bieber joined Zach Galifianakis on Between Two Ferns for one of the funniest episodes ever.
Read the advice Louis C.K. gave to an 18-year-old standup in 2005.
We interviewed Bill Hader about South Park, Eugene Mirman about the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival, June Diane Raphael about Ass Backwards, Megan Ganz about Modern Family, Nate Corddry about Mom, and Jon Benjamin about Bob's Burgers.
The popular Twitter account @Horse_ebooks is actually a fake "art project" and not a spambot-gone-rogue like we all hoped.
Fox renewed Bob's Burgers for a fifth season.
We questioned why The Simpsons isn't able to be streamed online.
Kanye West started a Twitter feud with Jimmy Kimmel.
Here's all the interesting comedy stuff that happened at the Emmys, including a big win for The Colbert Report, the 30 Rock's final Emmy, and Will Ferrell's outstanding presenting work.
Standup Dan Nainan was arrested for punching a mean journalist.
We recommended the week's best podcasts, the Twitter feed of @horselythighs, and videos about the end of Breaking Bad.

Q: How to convert HTML CSS class into style in pure python - what kind of library could be used on GAE  Is there any pure python library to use on Google App Engine which allow to convert HTML with CSS class into HTML with styles only for emailing purpose on gmail.
Want to make such conversion on google app engine.
XHTML with CSS class:

xxx

yyy

Considering that CSS is such:
p.xx, p.yy { font-size: 120%; }
p.yy { color:red; }

I want to convert XHTML classes into styles to remove CSS inclusion as it required by Gmail:

xx

yy

Is any hint - I could try to code it in regex since CSS is simple but not want to invent the wheel again.

A: Take a look at xhtml2pdf (under Apache License) for the code that combines the HTML and CSS together and then change the output from PDF to HTML.

Canon has recently begun expanding the PowerShot G series. Each camera in the series is an advanced but compact model. The Mark II is sleekly designed and moderately priced, placed right in the middle of the lineup.
This camera has the capacity to record video, along with a versatile zoom lens. You can take detailed still shots by using the 20.1 MP sensor to shoot up to 8 frames per second. Videos are recorded in full 1080P HD.
You can also utilize the expanded sensitivity range to work in multiple different lighting conditions. No more worrying about picture quality in low light, or having bright sunlight wash out your colors!
The lens has a range of 24 to 100 millimeters, meaning that it can take both wide-angle and short shots. The control ring surrounding the barrel of the lens helps you adjust the shooting settings in a tactile way.
The camera comes with a 3.0-inch touchscreen. Additional WiFi capabilities let you remotely control the camera with your smartphone. You can also share imagery in real time with a WiFi connection.
This digital camera is another great offering in the PowerShot series from Canon. The features are similar to those found with the Mark II. However, the overall form is a little thinner. There's also a shorter zoom range, with a lens that can only handle 28 to 80 millimeters.
The pictures are slightly more detailed due to the 20.2 MP sensor. There's also an image processor compatible with Canon's unique HS system. This system reduces the sensitivity and noise when you take your pictures. It also allows for continuous shots at 6 frames per second. You can take videos with full 1080P HD quality.
The intelligent IS technology minimizes camera shaking when you shoot stills. There's also a 3.0-inch touchscreen that lets you intuitively control playback and settings. Like the Mark II, you also get built-in WiFi capabilities.
This camera is a slightly different offering. Rather than being marketed toward photographers, this rugged design is made for adventurers. The image capabilities are a little less advanced than with the Canon cameras, but still extremely worthwhile.
The sensor can capture images in 16 MP at up to 5 frames per second. There's also the capability of full 1080P HD video shooting. But what really sets the camera apart is the hardiness of the design. The camera is waterproof at up to 50 feet, freeze-proof at temperatures above 14 F, able to withstand falls from 7 feet, and able to withstand a maximum of 220 lbs of pressure.
If you're an adventurer who travels in more perilous conditions, or you like to shoot while participating in action sports, this camera might be a great choice for you. It's also a good choice for people who are clumsy enough to want a robust option.
The camera's lens has a zoom range of 25 to 100 millimeters. You also get access to a 3.0-inch touch screen, along with built-in GPS and WiFi capabilities. There's even an electronic compass.
This is another sleek, pocket-sized model that's made for traveling photographers. The camera has a 20.1 MP sensor along with a Venus Engine processor that greatly increases overall image sensitivity. When shooting with an electronic shutter, you can get up to 50 frames per second. For mechanical shutters, the number lowers to 10 frames per second.
While the camera doesn't have the same HD video capabilities as some other options, videographers still have access to 4K shooting in 24p or 30p quality. You can shoot 8 MP stills at a rate of 30 frames per second.
No matter whether your subjects are close or far away, this camera has you covered. The lens ranges from 25 to 250 millimeters. In addition, the lens has a stabilizing system that helps minimize camera shaking.
This is one of the more popular models on the market. It's one of many cameras in the RX100 series from Sony. Over the years, cameras in this series have received multiple upgrades to make it ideal for both videographers and photographers.
The camera has a 20.1 MP sensor. When combined with the BIONZ X processor, you can record video in 4K HD. You can also take high quality slow motion video in HD with maximum speeds of 960 frames per second.
With still shooting, you can get up to 16 frames per second. The noise-cancelling sensitivity also reaches high levels. The lens gives you a range of 24 to 70 millimeters, and additional technology minimizes camera shaking.
As far as physical appearance goes, this camera has a 3.0-inch touchscreen along with an electronic viewfinder. You also get access to built-in WiFi.
When picking out the best point-and-shoot camera, it's hard to beat the G7 X Mark II. This camera has enough adjustability to please photographers of any skill level, and the built-in WiFi allows a greater range of control.
For adventurers looking for a more rugged camera, the Olympus Stylus is a great option. It can stand up to a lot of the wear and tear from adventuring. The picture quality will be a little lower, though.
The Panasonic Lumix is hard to beat if you want a camera with huge FPS capabilities. When you use an electronic shutter, this camera can capture a whopping 50 FPS. It also has the largest zoom range, with a lens that ranges from 25 to 250 millimeters.

Cleveland Guardians Series Previews
Series preview: Guardians at Blue Jays
The Guardians are going international

This weekend the Guardians will be making their first trip to Toronto since July 2019, when the top four hitters in their lineup were Francisco Lindor, Oscar Mercado, Carlos Santana, and Jordan Luplow, and when Mike Clevinger pitched seven innings. Jake Bauers was the DH. Wild times.
Thankfully, that feels like a lifetime ago.
The Guardians are scorching hot right now, winning their last five games and seven of their last 10, overall. The three starting pitchers they will bring to the series — Triston McKenzie, Cal Quantrill, and Shane Bieber — have combined to throw 21 scoreless innings over their last starts.
Steven Kwan, in particular, has been sensational during the Guardians' win streak, going 6-for-14 with four walks and even a home run sprinkled in there — one of only two the team has hit during the streak. A pesky errant throw that hit Kwan in the foot last Friday is all that prevents him from potentially chasing down hit-streak history. He went 0-for-2 against the Astros before being taken out early. That broke a streak of 18 consecutive games with a hit, which would be 22 right now in an alternate universe.
If it weren't for the Yankees and Astros, the Blue Jays would likely be the talk of the American League. Favored by many to win the AL East heading into the season, a relatively slow start, compared with the Yankees looking unbeatable prior to the All-Star break, led to Toronto being forgotten when discussing the best of baseball.
They have quietly amassed 60 wins on the back of a well-rounded offense featuring seven batters with over 300 plate appearances at wRC+ of 100 or higher. Catcher Alejandro Kirk has a narrow edge over Vlad Guerrero Jr. in terms of best hitter so far (141 wRC+ to 140, basically a rounding error) — the two of them will be the biggest test for Guardians pitching. Guerrero is a human home run machine with a team-leading .504 slugging percentage, and Kirk is the kind of player that 2022 would love to have. He has walked more than he's struck out (11.1% walk rate to 10% strikeout rate) and is slashing .305/.388/.461 with 12 home runs.
José Berríos, the only announced Blue Jays pitcher as of this writing, is hardly the ace he has looked like at times in his career. He is on track for the worst season of his career, with a career-low 21.1% strikeout rate and the worst ERA (5.19) since he pitched 14 disastrous games as a rookie back in 2016. The Guardians tagged Berríos for six runs over 4.2 innings when they faced him on May 5.
Guardians reliever James Karinchak is the only member of the team not vaccinated and thus will not be able to travel to Canada. He'll be replaced by Peyton Battenfield, who could make his major-league debut out of the bullpen this weekend.

2,702-Page Infrastructure Bill Released Ahead of Floor Debate
by NH Politician August 2, 2021 August 2, 2021
Senators late Sunday released a 2,702-page infrastructure bill that appears to have enough support to pass the upper chamber ahead of debate on the legislation on the Senate floor.
The approximately $1 trillion bill (pdf) was cleared for debate before it was even submitted, setting off criticism of how Congress works.
Democrats on the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, which released the legislation, said it would make "historic investments in everything from our roads to our water systems."
The package includes $4.8 billion for nationally significant freight and highway projects, $3 billion for tribal transportation programs, and $3.4 billion for constructing or repairing border stations.
It holds $550 billion in new spending and no new taxes.
The bipartisan effort showed "we can put aside our own political differences for the good of the country," Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) said Sunday on the Senate floor.
Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) asserted that the bill would counteract inflation and create more jobs.
"We made a commitment early on we were going to do two things. One, we're going to focus on core infrastructure so when President Joe Biden introduced a $2.65 trillion bill, we said—and called it infrastructure—we said there's some good stuff in there but let's pull out the good stuff, the core infrastructure, because a lot had nothing to do with infrastructure. And second we said we're not going to do it by raising taxes. We're not going to hurt the American worker more and make America less competitive, we're going to do just the opposite. We kept to those two principles," he said.
Bills require 60 votes to clear the Senate. There are currently 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats or nominal independents who regularly caucus with the left.
Democrats control the upper chamber through the tiebreaking vote Vice President Kamala Harris can pass.
A bipartisan vote last week on starting debate on the package saw 18 Republicans join with Democrats, easily clearing the filibuster threshold.
Sixteen GOP members voted yes on advancing the legislation on Friday.
In a sign of the strong Republican support for the package, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) voted with Democrats both times.
"I think we all agree an infrastructure package done correctly is a plus for the country," McConnell said on Fox Business.
A bipartisan group of moderate senators, including Sens. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Portman, and Mitt Romney (R-Utah) helped craft the legislation. They announced last week that they'd reached an agreement on the bill, but had not released the full text until late Sunday.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), one of the senators, said on CNN on Sunday that she thinks at least 10 Republican senators will support the final version.
"This bill is good for America. Every senator can look at bridges and roads and need for more broadband, waterways in their states, seaports, airports, and see the benefits, the very concrete benefits, no pun intended, of this legislation," she said. "It's going to make us more competitive, more productive. It's going to create good jobs."
But senators face opposition from some Republicans, as well as the prospect of defeat in the House of Representatives.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has said she will not allow a vote on the bill unless Senate Democrats ram through a larger, $3.5 trillion package and present that also to the lower chamber.
"We will not take up a bill in the House until the Senate passes the bipartisan bill and a reconciliation bill," Pelosi told reporters in July.
"There ain't going to be no bipartisan bill, unless we have a reconciliation bill," she added.
Republicans who support infrastructure don't back the larger package, but they would not be able to stop it. Democrats can ram it through with zero Republican votes in both chambers.
Still, passage is not guaranteed.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said Sunday that he couldn't commit to voting yes for the larger bill, indicating he believes it's too big—a belief Sinema has expressed as well.
Manchin and Sinema have regularly blocked some of their party's more radical proposals since control of the Senate shifted in January.

Some days, you just need to eat some chocolate. Don't worry, I'm not judging! The next time your chocolate craving hits, reach for these Paleo chocolate cups and indulge without overloading on sugar and artificial flavors. These chocolate cups are made using an easy two-step process. First the coconut filling is made by combining coconut butter with coconut oil and coconut sugar. Then, the filling is chilled until solid, so it can be coated in chocolate. If this seems like a lot of steps between you and chocolate, don't worry, there's only ten minutes of hands on prep work. Most of the time is spent chilling so it's easy to whip up the filling, and leave it to chill while you do the laundry or go to the food store.
What is Coconut Sugar and Why Do We Like It?
Coconut sugar is made from the sap of the coconut palm tree. It is sometimes called coconut palm sugar, but it should not be confused with palm sugar which is made with the sap of other palm trees. Coconut and other palm sugars have a long history in South and Southeast Asian cuisine where they have been used in many preparations including kecap manis, or Indonesian sweet soy sauce.
Coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index number than white sugar and contains minerals like potassium and calcium . However, it is still a sugar and should be eaten in moderation.
Use silicone – A silicone muffin pan will make removing your chocolate cups much easier. If you don't have a silicone pan, you can use muffin liners to simplify this process and make removal from the pan easier.
Chill out – Make sure your coconut butter filling is complete solid before you move on to the next step. This will decrease the likelihood of making a mess when coating with chocolate. It can be tempting to rush this step, but it's worth the wait.
Ditch the spoon – The easiest and cleanest way to fill and coat is to put your melted chocolate in a piping bag. If you don't have one, a Ziploc bag with one corner cut off will work too.
Coconut butter and dark chocolate are the perfect pairing in these chocolate cups.
In a small bowl, combine the filling ingredients together (coconut butter, coconut oil, coconut sugar).
Melt the 70% dark chocolate pieces and pour a thin layer of the chocolate into the bottom of all 12 muffin cups. Place the solid coconut butter discs back into the muffin cups and top with the rest of the melted chocolate.

Museum of medieval and modern art
The medieval and modern art museum of Arezzo is a pearl of culture and history, located in the heart of the Tuscan city. Easy to reach on foot by public transport, the museum is located in via San Lorentino 8, at the Palazzo Bruni Ciocchi called della Dogana. The palace itself is an integral part of the history of Arezzo, as it was erected at the behest of Donato Bruni, son of the famous humanist Leonardo Bruni.
The first attribution of the design of this building had been attributed to the Renaissance architect Bernardo Rossellino, but this thesis was then revised and corrected. Many noble families who succeeded each other in the palace, until the time of purchase by the Tuscan government that transformed it into a large depot serving the city, dedicated above all to the preservation of salt.
The palace became a museum in the second post-war period and has since housed an important collection of artistic works on its three floors, while in the ancient lemon house it houses the laboratory dedicated to restoration.
The museum's collections are closely linked to the city and its history. Most of the works contained belong in fact to the Fraternity of the Laity, or Fraternity of Santa Maria della Misericordia and to the Municipality of Arezzo. The Fraternity of the laity, still existing today, was born in the '200 for charitable purposes and with the aim of commissioning works of art of historical value for the community of Arezzo.
On the ground floor of the museum it is possible to meet an exhibition of medieval and renaissance reliefs and sculptures and stone fragments dating back to the Middle Ages. Sculptures from the churches of Arezzo adorn the adjoining room. The first floor follows a chronological order and presents a rich collection of paintings and objects related to medieval common life, such as coins, weapons and jewelery.
In particular, the rooms host frescoes attributed to Spinello Aretino and his son Parri. It is curious to note that in the museum's hallway there is one of the largest paintings on the table of the 16th century, the "Convitto for the wedding of Esther and Assuero", performed by Giorgio Vasari. The museum is completed with an important collection of Italian majolica and houses on the top floor a selection of art objects, weapons and elements in coral dating back to the XVI-XX century.
The medieval and modern art museum of Arezzo is open every day except Monday from 8.30 to 19.30 and admission is free. The building is part of a rich and interesting cultural history and is an integral part of the guided tours organized by the municipality of Arezzo, which help the inhabitants and visitors to discover the immense cultural heritage offered by the city.

Эстетические отношения искусства к действительности — магистерская диссертация русского писателя, критика и философа Николая Гавриловича Чернышевского, написанная в 1853 году. Диссертация является одним из наиболее значимых философско-эстетических сочинений Чернышевского.

Публикация
Впервые напечатана в типографии Петербургского университета 3 мая 1855 года, а защищена 10 мая 1855 года. После защиты диссертации Чернышевский так и не был удостоен степени магистра русской словесности. Однако через три с половиной года спустя он все же был утвержден министром просвещения Е. П. Ковалевским в звании магистра.

Содержание
В своей работе Чернышевский рассматривает одни из центральных вопросов эстетики — о сущности прекрасного, назначении искусства и соотношении прекрасного в искусстве и в жизни. Автор ставит задачу выработать новую концепцию эстетического мышления, в которой действительность будет являться источником прекрасного в искусстве. Он выводит формулу «прекрасное есть жизнь», в которой формулирует основное положение своего взгляда на искусство: «Из определения "прекрасное есть жизнь" будет следовать, что истинная, величайшая красота есть именно красота, встречаемая человеком в мире действительности, а не красота, создаваемая искусством».

Чернышевский считает, что творчество соединяет мысль и образ. Это способ объяснить и познать действительность, произнести «приговор над ней». Эстетическая концепция Чернышевского недооценивает самостоятельность творческой мысли художника. В связи с чем выводится формула: «создание искусства» всегда «ниже прекрасного в действительности».

Критика
Крупнейшие русские писатели, такие, как Л. Толстой, Ф. Достоевский, И. Тургенев, были не согласны с новой концепцией Чернышевского. Однако диссертация сильно повлияла на передвижников и демократических писателей XIX века. В. Соловьёв высоко ценил эстетические работы Чернышевского, рассматривая их как начало положительной эстетики.

unlike the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy have anthropomorphic creatures already in their wheelhouse. A talking duck and dog would fit right in with a talking tree and raccoon (maybe Howard the Duck could make an appearance to cement their bond further even further).
The best possible plot would involve Sora's group getting picked up by a bad group of aliens in space with the Guardians rescuing them by accident as they were already in pursuit of the ship. It's similar to the Birth by Sleep world based on Lilo and Stitch admittedly, but it's a good draft at least.

Gadhafi clings to power amid growing support for protests
CNN Wire Staff
Tripoli, Libya (CNN) - Embattled Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi flatly denied Monday the existence of the protests threatening to end his 41-year rule, as reports of fighting between government forces and rebels raged another day.
In a joint interview with ABC News' Christiane Amanpour and the BBC, Gadhafi also denied using force against his people, Amanpour reported. Excerpts of the interview were posted on the networks' websites.
"No demonstration at all in the streets," he said, speaking at a restaurant in Tripoli.
Told by the BBC's Jeremy Bowen that he had seen demonstrators in the streets that morning, Gadhafi asked, "Are they supporting us?"
"They love me, all my people with me, they love me all. They will die to protect me, my people," he said.
Government forces have repeatedly clashed with demonstrators over the past two weeks in Libya, fired on crowds and at times shot indiscriminately at people in the streets, numerous witnesses have told CNN. The death toll has topped 1,000, according to an estimate from U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Gadhafi's regime has lost control of parts of the country to rebel forces, and with each passing day more Libyan officials around the world have defected, joining calls for his ouster.

I sure hope Moammar Gadhafi doesn't have any nuclear weapons, bombs. I have not heard any of these discussions on this show. I hope Anderson can discuss this issue.
Please, please stop declaring Gadahy crazy or insane. He need to be held accountable for his 'sane' actions. Get it??


All of us remember the Hans Christian Andersen fable of the emperor who was deceived into thinking he was wearing beautiful new garments. These garments, he was told, were invisible to those who were stupid or incompetent. The emperor, not wanting to appear stupid or incompetent, parades through the crowd wearing only his underwear. The crowd plays along because THEY don't want to appear stupid or incompetent either. It isn't until a small child cries out the truth (uh...he's not wearing any clothes, folks), that everyone is forced to admit the reality of the situation.
Oh, the business lessons we can learn from this story!
When teams can't or won't be open and honest with each other, they are simply parading around in false clothing. You become your own worst enemy. Organizations desperately want to be led by people willing to do the right thing, and make the hard calls. That's what healthy teams do.
Put safety first. That means no judgement. If you expect people to "go there," they have to know it is safe to do so.
Speak the truth. Don't let pride or fear keep you from speaking up. No one wants to later realize that they are standing in their underwear.
Put down your dukes. Be willing to receive feedback with the spirit in which it is intended...to be helpful.
Value and respect all opinions shared. Eventually decisions must be made and you must present a united front...but only after everyone has been heard.
Know your own limitations. Effective leaders, no matter how smart they are, know and accept their weak spots. You are not perfect. You are human.
Be respectful with your words AND your body language. Pinched faces, smug grins, or rolled eyes speak volumes.
Be vulnerable. It's okay to feel wounded. The team is there to support each other and help everyone become their best selves.
Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Embrace the discourse...it's how you grow.
For some teams, having an outside facilitator can be extremely beneficial. If you think you need one...get one. Becoming a healthy team takes time and practice. Be kind. Be patient. Be intentional.

Discussion in 'Article Discussion' started by arcticstoat, 26 Jul 2011.
We take a look at upcoming indie RTS Infested Planet. It's the only way to be sure.
I finished this article, thinking "Hey, this seems worth a shot!". Then swung on to the game's website, hit the Buy button, and it's £12. For a one-man indie game in beta. Maybe I've been spoilt by the top-notch complete titles I've picked up from other indie devs at closer to half the price of this, but I can't help feeling it's a little steep for a pre-purchase that I'm essentially testing out, even with the 25% discount applied - at full release, it'll be roughly £16 (or approx 18EUR/$25). To put that into context, at £12, it's a couple of quid less than Counterstrike:Source on Steam. At £16, a couple of quid less than a Steam version of Bad Company 2, and abotu a quid more than a copy of Left 4 Dead 2 (none of which are on sale, btw). Braid, another classic indie game, is about half the price of Infested Planet, and that thing came with a $200,000 budget!
1) That game has a huge multiplayer factor, and servers set up worldwide, complete with communities.
2) I wasn't interested in Minecraft either.
Maybe I'll change my mind, but I can't help feeling that the price of indie games is going to be a hot topic, both now, and into the future. And when the triple-A titles are costing the same as the indies, I've got to stick with the known quantities, I'm afraid.
Looks good I like the fact it will be on the Mac as well.
£12 isn't that bad, it's less than 4 pints of Beer in the UK.
So give your liver a break and give it a go, I mean its £12 at the end of the day, won't break the bank unless your skint student.
Whats with all the previews on bit-tech lately? It'd be nice to see more reviews of finished games.
This appears to be a run of the mill RTS, with very little to differentiate it from any other, so what warrents the preview of it?
Don't get me wrong I like RTS' and I'll proberbly look at getting it, however 12 quid is quite steep and 16 quid is way too much. Frozen Synapse, for example, was about 15 quid and included 2 copies of the game! So I'd love to know what makes this worth more than other indie games out there.
Like the otehr have said, £12 for a preorder beta is too high. It looks a good game, but i wouldnt pay that much for it. Also, is this a case of preorder to play the alpha/beta but find they keep on getting distracted and never get around to making the full game, always testing out new things but never perfecting them?
It's preview season - not many releases out this month. If you have other indie games you'd like us to look at, let us know.


Abstract: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a heterogeneous chronic disease with a range of disease phenotypes defined by the frequency, severity and cumulative effect of known disease-associated adverse events. The present work seeks to leverage the abundant data on SCD patients that are available within Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to develop computable phenotypes that accurately represent features of SCD etiology and progression.
Learning Objective 1: Describe approaches to discovery of patient care patterns in EHR using machine learning techniques.

iBiZZtax was awarded the Emerging Golden Eagle Award 2019
The taxation industry is slowly but surely embracing technological advancement or, in other words, catching up with the disruptive forces of fintech.
The effective blending of algorithm, artificial intelligence and big data has inspired home-grown tax solution provider iBiZZCLOUD SDN BHD to roll out an all-encompassing cloud version of tax computing software – iBiZZtax Cloud – to complement its offline version which was launched 12 years ago.
The Malaysian-made software is the first 100% cloud-based system developed in Southeast Asia.
Deemed the ultimate tax solution for various types of small and medium-sized businesses or SMEs (whether they are private limited companies or sole proprietorships), iBiZZtax Cloud is poised to lift concerns of tax professionals given the latest tax regulations will be updated automatically every time the user logs into the system.
"Unlike tax computing using the conventional Microsoft Excel method, our iBiZZtax Cloud would address the ever-changing tax rules put in place by the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM)," iBiZZCLOUD SDN BHD CEO Serene See Aik Lian points out.
"This aside, tax professionals can enjoy the flexibility to work on their tax data from their office, home or anywhere else 24/7 or even to perform tax filing from any internet-connected devices."
Cost-effective Beyond that, the iBiZZtax Cloud software also allows multiple-user access, thus enabling better outsourcing options to enhance the number of users during peak periods. The issue of data loss on prior-year returns will be a thing of the past as the cloud-based tax software automatically backs up tax data on secure servers.
With high-level security protection by Microsoft Azure, tax data of iBiZZtax users is afforded full protection.
By virtue of it being cloud-based, iBiZZtax Cloud is also cost-effective as there is no need to install expensive computer equipment and servers in the office, hence reducing the cost of maintaining and managing IT systems.
"Another cost benefit that we pass down to users is the 'pay per use' option where users only pay for what they use," says See, adding that as businesses grow, they are likely to scale up their usage.
The low start-up cost is evident by iBiZZtax's RM600 start-up pack which can cater for 50 submissions or RM12 per submission.
To familiarise new users with the iBiZZtax Cloud, e-tutorial classes can be accessed from the company's website www.ibizztax.com where step-by-step video demonstrations are made available. Current available tax modules include Company Tax, Personal Tax, Partnership Tax, Forms E & EA, Ownership Tax (upcoming) LLP.
"Since its launch in August this year, iBiZZtax Cloud has received overwhelming response with 53 tax consultants signing up for our start-up package, This is an over 10% increase to our total client base," enthuses See. "Moving forward, we expect more tax professionals to migrate to our userfriendly cloud-based tax computing software."
For its significant value creation in the tax industry, the company was awarded the SME 100 Malaysia Fast Moving Company in 2010 and a year later, the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) status.
In 2016, the company emerged as the only entity endorsed by the IRBM for its capability to perform the e-BaS e-filing for year of assessment 2014. In August this year, the company entered into another collaboration with IRBM to replace the e-BaS e-filing with Web API integration of the e-Dts C (e-Data Transfer Service C) to iBiZZtax, undertaking the task of fully testing this e-filing portal.
Elsewhere, 2019 has been a rewarding year for the Company as it was conferred the Golden Eagle Award (Emerging Eagle category) as well as being the first runner-up in the Create@Alibaba Cloud Start-Up Contest (CACSC) Grand Final held in Kuala Lumpur. This achievement has qualified the company for the Global Final in Shenyang, China on Nov 28 where it will compete against representatives from 57 cities across 29 nations with its 100% Malaysian-made product.

Marvin Rees has denied accusations that Bristol City Council is in crisis after it was revealed that 17 senior members of staff had left in less than 18 months.
Concerns at the level of turnover were raised by the council's cross-party scrutiny management committee, which put forward a statement at tonight's cabinet meeting.
But the Bristol Mayor batted away the concerns, describing it as something blown out of proportion by the media, or "in the tradition of hyperbolic descriptions of mythical failure".
He said the cabinet was "focused on delivery", while the committee was concerned with the "weeds of the organisation".
Figures obtained from the council show that 17 of its 53 senior officers have left their positions since May last year. Another five are due to leave their roles in the coming months.
Last week the scrutiny commission said "urgent action" needed to be taken to control staffing, as there was an "overwhelming view" the council is an "organisation that is in trouble".
Its concerns fell in to three main categories – senior staff vacancies and interim appointments; the lack of a forward plan and the lack of chief executive and head of paid services.
The final point was addressed by Mr Rees before the cabinet meeting, through his announcement that the chief executive position was to be scrapped, and instead the council would be managed by three 'group directors'.
But he took the opportunity to oppose the other accusations during the public meeting and described the committee's fears as "misdirected".
Mr Rees said: "The fuss that was made in the papers and our local broadcaster sat comfortably in the tradition of hyperbolic descriptions of mythical failure, more than it spoke to the realities.
The Mayor delivered his much-repeated refrain that the current administration had "inherited" failures from previous leaders and took a dig at the committee with the suggestion that "errors of the past" should have been flagged by previous scrutiny boards.
Mr Rees defended the use of interim staff and claimed they had "protected the council" from long and expensive contracts, severance payments and given the authority "urgently-needed expertise".
He also described criticism at a lack of a forward plan as misplaced, and said he would not add anything to the document until he is "completely sure the policy has been appraised, costed, risk assessed and examined" by the cabinet.
But it wasn't just the scrutiny committee which raised concerns about senior positions and leadership.
Alderman Brian Price spoke in the meeting to voice his frustration at a lack of detail in the forward plan and South West Transport Network spokesperson David Redgewell claimed the turnover of senior officers was impacting the delivery of transport schemes.
Green ward councillor for Ashley, Jude English, also voiced her support for the position of the scrutiny committee.
She said: "Cabinet and the Mayor should be aware that contrary to Bristol City Council media outputs, the staffing, communication and practical issues that follow from our concerns are urgent and real.
"Many of our hardworking city councillors are facing increased workloads and work stress, uncertainty about where to get effective assistance from officers, anxiety about the effectiveness of our transitional scrutiny and oversight functions and concerns that we are not currently communicated with or listened to by the executive function of the city.

National Library of Australia Fellowships
Fellowships (including curatorial research) at the National Library of Australia
Posted by mdever on February 27, 2017 in archival research, archives, curation, fellowship, GLAM sector, manuscripts, research, research fellowship, research funding
Applications are now open for two new National Library of Australia Fellowships, bringing the total number of fellowships on offer for 2018 to eight. Additional Honorary Fellowships may be awarded to support research and special access, but without financial support.
Patrons and supporters of the Library's Treasures Gallery have funded the new Fellowship for Curatorial Research.
This is designed to support research to enhance access, communication and interpretation of the Library's collections. The research may focus on public outcomes, such as exhibitions, events and education, digital scholarship, collection management, preservation and publications. Professionals and scholars working in the field as well as academic researchers are invited to apply.
The second new 2018 Fellowship, funded by the Minerals Council of Australia, is designed to support and promote research about the industry in an historical, social or contemporary context. It is open to researchers in public policy, social research, international relations, the environment and the economy. Policy-makers, journalists, industry specialists, academic researchers and other professionals are invited to apply.
Established and early-career researchers and curators from Australia and overseas, undertaking advanced research projects.
All applications are assessed on merit by the Library's independent Fellowships Advisory Committee.
Applicants must succinctly outline and scope their proposed Fellowship research, and demonstrate the relevance of the Library's collections in pursuit of their research goals. Applications must be submitted using the online application form.
The intensive research enabled by the Fellowships can focus on Australian or international collections, with a view to creating publications or other public outputs, including curatorial projects or other research outcomes.
The period of Fellowship research may lead to longer-term outcomes, rather than immediate publication or public outcomes. The Library does not expect Fellows to complete a body of work during the residency, though they are expected to demonstrate their research progress through engaging the public, staff and donors through public presentations, podcasts and communication.
The research can be at any stage of development, or form part of a larger project. However, applicants must outline in their application their anticipated progress during the Fellowship residency, as well as how relevant collections will underpin or advance their research toward publication or other research outcomes.
Fellowship benefits
Recipients undertake a three month residency at the National Library, enabling a sustained period of research based on the Library's collections. Fellows are normally expected to undertake this period of research in one block.
Funded Fellowships provide the following financial support to recipients:
an honorarium of AUD $1,000 per week for 12 weeks
accommodation support, capped at AUD $700 per week for 12 weeks if required (not payable to residents in the Canberra region)
travel support equivalent to one return domestic airfare to Canberra (not payable to residents in the Canberra region). International travel is capped at AUD $2,500.
Fellows may choose to extend their period of residency, but no further financial support can be offered.
All Fellows receive during their residency:
special and supported access to collections and staff expertise
access to the Fellows room, with full office facilities and a personal workstation
copies of collection materials (within reasonable limits and according to access and copyright conditions)
Honorary Fellows, selected equally on merit, enjoy the same conditions and benefits but without financial support.
More information about the new Fellowships and other Scholarships on offer is available here.
Applications for the 2018 Fellowships will close on 30 April 2017.

Adeyinka Oresanya is a passionate Christian novelist, whose love for the Lord, His word and writing has birthed more than ten short stories, including the popular The Struggling Virgin, and two novels. She is the editor of The Daughter's Inspirations Fiction Pamphlets for teens, which has blessed many readers. She is an avid reader and committed teenage teacher.
"Hello." This young lady, clad in a pair of blue jeans and black top, said to me as she tapped her well-manicured index finger on my desk.
"Hello. Please, hold on," I replied with a smile. Two elderly couple were already on seat and I was attending to them.
She shifted from one foot to the other, mumbling and grunting, letting me know her issue couldn't wait another second more.
I pretended not to see. I was so used to this attitude in my line of job and I had learnt to deal with it in the calmest way I could.
I did all I could not to roll my eyes. Like yesterday, seriously?
When I went through the form I gave her to fill, I discovered she had used her card in another bank. Madam, it looks like your needs will have to wait.
I gave her a cold stare. Did this girl just suggest that I was incompetent at my job? I shook my head to step down the rising anger within me. I had been mastering how not to let customers determine my mood or spoil my day. I wasn't there yet; I would get there some day.
She grumbled but started to write.
I turned to my work and began to file away.
When she was through, she pushed the paper forward and stood up to leave without waiting for me to cross check what she had written.
I went through the form and it was alright though.
"Hello," a rich, deep voice said.
I looked up and my breath caught in my throat, again.
"I know who you are." I placed my hands in his. Warmth travelled through my body. I took my hands back. "Welcome back." I managed to say.
He pulled out the chair a little and sat down with his back straight, confidence exuding from him.
God help me through this.
"Oh, okay. You will need to present a regulatory ID card and recent utility bill of your current home address," I said.
"Yes, Ma'am." He kept that syrupy smile on.
I hope I get through this.
I opened my drawer and brought out the form for him. He perused the form while I pretended to work on my PC, stealing glances at him from time to time. Then, he took out a fountain pen and began to write, his focus totally on the form as if he was writing an exam. I turned my focus back to my PC.
"Okay." He brought out a brown leather wallet from his pocket and fished for his driver's license, then opened his moleskin notebook and took out the utility bill. Everything about this guy, from his wallet, to his stationery, to the shoes peeking at my side of the desk, reeked of alpha masculinity that made my heart sing hallelujah.
I stood up and made for the ground floor, the form and other documents in hand. Once I was out of sight, I stole a glance at his driver's license. He was 3o years old, just two years older than I was, and 1.8 meters tall.
Some minutes later, after persuading Henry to attend to the account urgently, I went back upstairs, proud of my achievement.
I nodded, unsure of what to say.
He shook my hand, looked at me with an intense gaze that melted me all over and walked away.
Like I said yesterday, I am in deep trouble.
