Rocketman (2019) Review!!
June 16, 2019 · by Mirza Baig	· in Drama, Fantasy, Movie Review, Musical.	·
Synopsis – A musical fantasy about the fantastical human story of Elton John's breakthrough years.
My Take – In the wake of the massive success of the Freddie Mercury biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, in the form of the Best Actor Oscar win for its leading star, Rami Malek, and an enormous box office take of $903.7 million worldwide, an Elton John biopic was inevitable.
After all with about 300 million albums sold, he remains arguably one of the most successful recording artists of all time. His songs are amongst the most prodigious achievements in human history and the artist behind those mystifying compositions has also managed to live a life worthy of being regaled in cinema.
However, unlike Bohemian Rhapsody which focused much of the backstage drama and story on the late singer, here, the film outlines his career, from his start in the late 1960s to his stint in rehab in 1990, with a bit of his childhood thrown in.
Frankly, on paper, this is a boilerplate biopic, showing his rise, his inner demons, spiral to the bottom, and his redemption, but director Dexter Fletcher, who stepped into complete Bohemian Rhapsody after director Bryan Singer's firing, has something else in mind, as he does an about-turn from that rather more straightforward tale.
Here, he blows right through the trite plot with gusto, and as the grandiose showmanship of Elton demands, and brings us an extravagant musical, with an indulgence in melodrama and large choreographed dances, making the film leap away from realism into a soaring film musical exploration.
All of course, upheld by a unique performance from its star, Taron Egerton. If you are a fan of Elton John, and I believe that is a safe assumption if you are a viewer of the film, you shan't be disappointed with the renditions of most of his greatest hits in this dazzling jukebox musical fantasy.
The story follows Elton John (Taron Egerton), who enters a rehab in a feathery orange stage outfit, and in midst of a confession group talks about his loveless life as Reginald Dwight. Growing up in a household which included an absent and disinterested father (Steven Mackintosh), a bitter mother (Bryce Dallas Howard) and caring grandmother (Gemma Jones), who unknowingly plant seeds for this future creative genius.
While his parents don't consider him to be anything special, Reggie continues to pursue of his dream of becoming a musician with Elton John as his stage name. A dream which eludes him until he is paired with Bernie Taupin (Jamie Bell), a struggling lyricist, hereby sending both down a road to superstardom, making him a multimillionaire at the age of 25.
But unknown to everyone around, that as he continues to claim spotlight as a musician, his is still struggling to come to terms with his identity as a gay man. In his hope to find love, he indulges in a love affair with his manager John Reid (Richard Madden), who in turns encourages Elton to adopt the flamboyant costumes and embrace a hedonistic lifestyle of substance abuse and extravagance that accentuated self-loathing and self-doubt. Eventually Elton has to learn to come to terms with his thinking and his feeling of wanting and needing.
Tagged as a musical fantasy, here, director Dexter Fletcher and screenwriter Lee Hall do an outstanding job of pulling back the curtain and revealing how Reginald Dwight became arguably the largest music icon on the planet. The screenplay, production design and costumes pay equal homage to the man's music and his penchant for drama – Versace robes, flamboyant headdresses, and sunglasses of all shapes, shades and sequins.
I especially enjoyed the details in the story, such as how he picked the name Elton John and his brief marriage to Renate Blauel (Celinde Schoenmaker). What the film paints beautifully is a picture of the musician's life, both the incredible highs and tragic lows. You get to see a respectful and psychological turn in his persona, you get to witness the heartbreaking "addictions" that he constantly forces himself into, you get to view the uncut collision of him dealing with his sexuality, and you even get to feel that loss of love that Elton had felt when he persistently questioned his relationship with peers.
Elton's childhood and his rocky relationship with his parents, which help explains his need for adoration, combined the root of his self-loathing is deftly written and integrated into the story. All of these affairs are dispensed without and blockades or any desires of censorship and I must commend the filmmakers for going about this risky decision.
Whereas, the integration of Freddy Mercury's troubled personal life in Bohemian Rhapsody was not nearly as successful or believable, here, these scenes do not feel like collages in as an afterthought. However, the best way in which this film differs from Bohemian Rhapsody, are its musicals, which director Fletcher stages with real panache.
Sure, the film really only has this one trick – but it uses it well enough to get by. The songs always pertain to the presented events transpiring on screen. The methods they use to present the songs as well, offer some more than compulsive and devouring visuals.
There are musical numbers where characters sing Elton's songs to convey their thoughts and emotions in a dramatic scene, to reenactments of historical musical performances that are scintillating kaleidoscopes; that included Elton actually exploding in air as fireworks. I also appreciated how they redid all the songs to fit the scenes in a more appropriate manner. It makes the film seem less like a compilation of Elton's original greatest-hits and more like a rendition of what each song means to the story.
However, other than the fact that there are already plenty of artistic liberties taken here, it found it disappointing to see how the film to chooses to emphasize on similar points for their self-discovery and growth, particularly the aspects of both of them having a heartless, manipulative and abusive agent/manager who is also their lover and brings out the worst in focal character.
Nevertheless, the cast here is brilliant. Much of the film depended on the incredible authenticity and cannily believability of Taron Egerton as Elton and without a doubt he deserves an immense amount of praise for his performance in this role. Here, he is just bleeding with range and chaotic pizazz in this encapsulation of a contrasted human individual. He fully encapsulates every aspect of Elton, including his display of exceptional vocal talents and energetic, rhythmic dance moves. I sense awards season has a place for him.
In supporting roles, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jamie Bell, Richard Madden and Steven Mackintosh are also exceptional. On the whole, 'Rocketman' is a wholly enjoyable and thoroughly entertaining musical fantasy uplifted by an electrifying performance from Taron Egerton.

confluent pigment
unspotted
young, 8 mm
on food sponge
with egg mass
Hypselodoris peasei (Bergh, 1880)
Maximum size: 20 mm.
Identification: This species is small and elongate with many parallel white longitudinal lines on its light cream to peach notum. The notum may be variably spotted with blue-black. A deep blue or violet line encircles the mantle margin and the edge of the foot. The rhinophores are white with two orange bands and the gills are white with varying amounts of orange on the outer surface. The rhinophore banding is variable in very young animals and the orange pigment may be confluent on the anterior margins of the rhinophores in old animals.
Natural history: Hypselodoris peasei is a common, diurnal species that is often found in groups feeding on the yellow sponge Luffariella sp. It occurs in a variety of rocky habitats, as well as in Halimeda kanaloana beds, and has been found in protected to exposed locations from 2-64 m (6-209 ft). The white egg masses are often found on or near the sponge and typically consist of about two whorls.
Distribution: Big Island, Maui, Lanai, Oahu, Kauai and Niihau.
Taxonomic notes: This species was listed as "locusts" in Bertsch and Johnson, 1981 and was described as Hypselodoris andersoni in Bertsch and Gosliner (1989). It is listed under that name in Hoover, 1998. It seems possible that Doris prismatica var. lineata Pease, 1860 was this species rather than Hypselodoris bertschi as suggested in Kay, 1979. In that case, it was first reported from Hawaii in Pease, 1860. It was named for William Harper Pease who described and recorded over 300 species of Hawaiian mollusks. It's referred to as "Anderson's nudibranch" in Hoover, 1998 and as the "locust nudibranch" in Hoover, 2006. (Note 1)
Photo: John Hoover: Magic Island, Oahu; Oct., 1997.
Note 1: Due to variation in rhinophore pigmentation and mantle gland distribution, there's some chance that more than one species is being lumped under this name.

Ultimate Nachos
The key to crispy nachos is to limit the number of ingredients that go into the oven with the chips. These start with three essential ingredients: a dollop of homemade pinto bean dip, sliced jalapeños, and plenty of grated cheddar.
Crazy Nachos
WHEN I WAS YOUNG and growing up in Dallas, our favorite Mexican restaurant was a family-owned hole-in-the wall called Herrera's. It's now expanded to a much larger location, but in the 1970s it was in an old adobe building that had ten tables and to reach the dining room, you had to walk through the kitchen. Dallas went crazy for its soulful cooking, and the waits to get in were often long, but it was worth it. We all had our favorite things to order: for my dad, it was the enchiladas, I loved the tamales, and my mom always went for the crazy nachos. Now, it always surprised me that my mom would order nachos since she ate them at home almost every single day for her lunch. However, she explained that while hers were good, Herrera's Crazy Nachos were the best. In those days—before nachos became a sloppy stack of "chips and stuff"—nachos were a refined, simpler dish, with each individual tortilla chip topped with just cheese, beans, and jalapeños. So when Herrera's added taco meat, guacamole, and sour cream to their crazy nachos, it was considered quite daring and wild. That said, Herrera's crazy nachos were still elegant: each chip was a self-contained bite of all these fantastic flavors. I admit that the name may seem a bit dated to some, as there's really nothing crazy about these nachos at all. But no matter what you call them, they're a fully loaded treat that is great to enjoy when watching games or sitting around and visiting with family and friends. And, if you're like my mom, they make a fine meal, too.
Lisa Fain 03.21.14
Klobasnek (Sausage Kolaches)
IF YOU MEET A CZECH TEXAN, he or she will politely inform you it's incorrect to use the term sausage kolache when referring to a sausage-stuffed kolache. When you scrunch up your face with confusion, the person will then kindly explain that the correct term for this savory pastry is klobasnek. But wait, let's back up here for a minute. If you're not familiar with a kolache, then you may be wondering what the heck I'm talking about. Allow me to explain. A kolache is a sweetened yeast roll that's been stuffed with a fruit, cream cheese, or a poppy seed filling. The roll is either square or round, and there's a well in the center to contain the filling. With a klobasnek, the dough is wrapped entirely around the filling, and the only way you can tell what's inside is to take that first bite. You find these pastries all over Texas, though they were first introduced in Central Texan Czech communities, such as the small towns of West and Caldwell. While the origin of the term klobasnek for the sausage-stuffed version is a little vague, The Village Bakery in downtown West has claimed provenance for the term. What's interesting, however, is that these Czech pastries are more associated with Southeast Texas than with Central Texas. The two pastries are different things, but some people still insist on calling them sausage kolaches. This doesn't bother me, but I can see how it could upset some linguistic purists. No matter what you call them, however, they are good. I like to eat them for breakfast, warm from the oven when the cheese is still melted and the sausage juicy with a snap. Though they are still good a few hours later at room temperature and can easily be reheated, too.
Taco Rice
Why have plain white rice when you can have taco rice instead? Taco rice slices, it dices, it juliennes... okay, maybe not, but it _does_ have many different uses. Eat it as a side dish, stuff it into a burrito, use it as a base for a bean-and-rice bowl, or use it as a base for a casserole, like in my [Southwest Veggie & Rice Casserole](/recipes/food/views/51222620) . Taco rice doesn't take much more time than cooking regular white rice, but has so much more to brag about.
Beth Moncel 02.05.14
Southwest Veggie and Rice Casserole
I could eat a simple bowl of rice, black beans, salsa, and cheddar cheese any day, but this recipe takes that concept to the next level. [Taco Rice](/recipes/food/views/51222630) gives this casserole an ultra-flavorful base to build upon and a mélange of vegetables provides more texture and flavor than you can shake a maraca at. A little cheddar cheese thrown on top is like icing on the cake to this yummy Southwest casserole. So come on, get your veggie on!
Yvonne's Unstuffed Poblano Casserole
When you think about peppers, comfort food usually isn't the first thing that comes to minds. But to us, it means home, and for different reasons. Crystal's mawmaw always made great stuffed peppers, and we put that recipe in our first cookbook. And when Sandy tastes a poblano pepper, she's instantly reminded of this recipe, since Sandy's oldest sister, Yvonne, makes these for her every time she comes home for a visit! Poblano peppers are smaller and spicier than their bell pepper cousins, but they're not too hot. Fairly mild overall, they pack a ton of flavor. Best of all, they've perfect for stuffing with a variety of ingredients.
Sandy PollockCrystal Cook 08.30.13
Persimmon Margarita
Persimmons are one of the hallmarks of fall. From the time the temperature drops until the holidays, persimmons start making their way to the local farmers' market. The waiting game can be almost unbearable, but once they are finally ripe, the reward justifies the wait. My favorite thing to do with persimmons is to press the ultra-ripe fruit through a fine-mesh strainer, discard the skin and seeds, and shake the resulting pulp into my fall Margaritas.
David Alan 07.31.13
Cinnamon-Sugar-Cayenne Rim
Suffering Baptist
The Suffering Bastard is a 1940s tiki standby that was originally made with bourbon and gin as its base. This variation utilizes cask-strength True Blue corn whiskey from Balcones Distilling in Waco, with a nod to that city's famous teetotaling population.
The bell peppers in this dish work to keep your skin looking great. Their vitamin C helps build firming collagen and fends off damaging free radicals.
Georgia Downard 10.25.12
West Texas Stacked Enchiladas
In most parts of Texas, enchiladas are rolled tortillas stuffed with a filling and covered in sauce. But often in West Texas (and also New Mexico) the filling and sauce are instead layered between flat tortillas. They look a bit different, but the end taste is the same, not to mention stacked enchiladas are a heck of a lot easier to make. Another feature of stacked enchiladas is the inclusion of a fried egg on top. I don't know how this tradition came about, but it's a brilliant addition. When the yolk mixes with the sauce, its creamy transformation takes the sauce from merely delicious to truly decadent. I was born and raised a rolled-enchilada girl, but I can appreciate a plate of stacked ones, especially those made with an ancho chile sauce. And if I squint, I can see in the stack the rugged terrain of West Texas, with the egg standing in for clouds and the sun. It's West Texas on a plate.

Q: Odd MFC/GDI behaviour (blank image) that doesn't appear when screen is recorded There is this weird bug in my program that I'm trying to fix, but I'm really at a loss for what it could be. This part of my program has a dialog which shows previews of various items using MFC/GDI. When I scroll through different items, sometimes the preview image just disappears and goes blank. However, it:

*

*Only happens on some machines

*Apparently happens on both Windows 7 and XP

*Doesn't happen on the same item every time

*Item IS STILL THERE when one takes a screenshot, but it is blank when viewing it normally.

*Seems to happen at random places throughout the code when I'm attempting to trace through it with breakpoints. It's not always in the same location that the screen goes from image to blank, which leads me to believe that it's not happening in the same thread as my main thread, even though that's really the only thread that's not blocked at that point. That means that it's happening in a windows thread or something, doesn't it?

I'm assuming it's a race condition of some sort, but the behaviour of the preview in screenshots, in particular, rather confuses me. Why would it be fine when taking a screenshot but be blank when viewing it on screen? Is there some mechanic of the "printscreen" that bypasses what's displyed or updated on the screen?
I realize that I haven't given much information and that people obviously can't help much, but if anyone could think of ANYTHING, it would be much appreciated :)
Thanks!

A: When you record your screen, are you reading the desktop using GDI apis? In that case, any hardware-accelerated surface may become black (or possibly white). To test this, you can disable hardware acceleration for your graphics card. If your recorder starts working then you've found the culprit!
To record these non-GDI surfaces you probably need to read the surface using DirectX/OpenGL. I would start with this article: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dialog/screencap.aspx

A: Another theory: GDI resource leak
If you forget to free your GDI objects, weird things start to happen - including unpainted areas.

*

*Run taskmgr.exe and add the "GDI Objects" column.

*Run your software and monitor the GDI object count. Does it stabilize?

*If your GDI Object count does not stabilize, look in your relevant WM_PAINT handlers.

Here's an example of a GDI leak:
void CMyWnd::OnPaint()
{
    CPaintDC dc(this);
    dc.SelectObject(&font);
}

Selected GDI objects must always be deselected:
void CMyWnd::OnPaint()
{
    CPaintDC dc(this);
    CFont *pOldFont = dc.SelectObject(&font);
    // Use font
    dc.SelectObject(pOldFont);
}

Introduction to Sun Island (太阳岛)
Sun Island Scenic Spot, located on the north shore of the Songhua River in the urban area of Harbin, is the largest comprehensive cultural park for rest and recreation. With an area of 98 hectares, green area of 74 hectares and water area of 5.6 hectares, the development area of the island is now close to 20 square kilometers and it has more than 20 scenic spots in the park.
Harbin Sun Island Park once was holiday resort of leisure for foreign nationals before liberation, and there are still a lot of foreign architectures with various styles in the area of the scenic spot:after the founding of the PRC and many years of construction, Sun Island Scenic Spot has now formed health resort integrating tourism and summer resort.
Sun Island Park offering a pleasant to stroll during the warmer months and on the weekends newly married couples can be seen taking pictures. In the winter it becomes part of the snow sculpture festivities. However, as with everything in Harbin, the park itself is still very Chinese with a cage full of squirrels, a petting deer area (just have to buy them some food), go carts, a pond that is just full of turtles, and newly weds sporting bright colored dresses.
During the month of Harbin's famous Ice Festival, Sun Island Park is transformed into a ice paradise where many ice sculptures can be seen.

Emergency Protection Order
Such an order is applied for only when it is considered that a child is at immediate risk of harm. An Emergency Protection Order gives the Local Authority Parental Responsibility but initially this order can only be granted for a period of 8 days. Representation at a hearing when an application for an Emergency Protection Order is applied for is essential.
Care Order
Such an order provides the Local Authority with parental responsibility for a child. The parents who have parental responsibility will retain this but the Local Authority's parental responsibility will override the parent's and therefore they are able to make decisions in respect of the child. This can include where the children will live and will go to school. This Order will last until the child reaches the age of 18. The court is also able to grant Care Orders on an interim basis and they are often applied for if Social Services want children to be removed from the care of parents pending assessments. Representation in any such application is essential.
Supervision Order
Such an order places an obligation on the Local Authority to provide advice and assistance to the main carer of the child. It does not give the Local Authority Parental Responsibility. This will be for a defined length of time, usually 12 months.
Placement Order
This is an order which gives the Local Authority permission to place a child for adoption and this does not require the parents' consent. Such orders are often applied for alongside Care Orders if the Local Authority intend to place a child for adoption.
Special Guardianship Order
This is an order where somebody other than the parents take responsibility for caring for the child until the age of 18. A Special Guardianship Order provides Parental Responsibility which they share with the parents but the Special Guardian is able to use their Parental Responsibility to make overriding decisions. Special Guardianship Orders are often applied for by grandparents and other family members when parents are unable to provide children with the care required. There are complex rules relating to Special Guardianship Orders including the provision of support services such as financial payments by the local authority. This means that expert legal advice is an absolute must.
We are also able to offer advice and assistance to all family members such as grandparents who may seek care of grandchildren as an alternative to being placed in foster care.

Overview of the Autism Speaks / Google research project MSSNG.
Autism Speaks approached BBDO for help with a landmark research project. Together with Google, the non-profit was going to sequence the genome of 10,000 individuals on the autism spectrum and then make that information available in the cloud for scientists around the world to research.
They needed a name. And a hook. And our help raising $10 million dollars to make the project a reality.
It was a beautiful idea — one that promised to find the missing answers to a puzzle that now afflicts one in 68 children worldwide. That's how we landed on the name MSSNG, and led us to team up with biochemist Linden Gledhill to create works of art from actual strands of DNA.
We created 10,000 individual photographs of DNA, which we turned into a gallery show, posters for sale on MSSNG.com, even a coffee table book.
On the web, visitors could learn about the project while exploring crystallized DNA through a virtual microscope—one that allowed them to create their own custom works of art.
We needed every dollar to go into research. So we used radio and online video to spread word of the launch. The radio spot featured an original composition based on real sequences of genetic code.

Avoiding Traffic Jams in the Brain
By Janice Wood
Brain networks — areas of the brain that regularly work together — might avoid traffic jams at their busiest intersections by communicating on different frequencies, according to new research.
"Many neurological and psychiatric conditions are likely to involve problems with signaling in brain networks," says co-author Dr. Maurizio Corbetta, a professor of neurology at Washington University in St. Louis. "Examining the temporal structure of brain activity from this perspective may be especially helpful in understanding psychiatric conditions like depression and schizophrenia, where structural markers are scarce."
Scientists usually study brain networks using magnetic resonance imaging, which tracks blood flow, assuming that an increase in blood flow to part of the brain indicates increased activity in the cells of that region.
But MRI has its limitations, according to Corbetta. "It only allows us to track brain cell activity indirectly, and it is unable to track activity that occurs at frequencies greater than 0.1 hertz, or once every 10 seconds," he said. "We know that some signals in the brain can cycle as high as 500 hertz, or 500 times per second."
For the new study, conducted at the University Medical Center at Hamburg-Eppendorf, the researchers used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to analyze brain activity in 43 healthy volunteers. MEG detects very small changes in magnetic fields in the brain that are caused by many cells being active at once. It can detect these signals at rates up to 100 hertz.
"We found that different brain networks ticked at different frequencies, like clocks ticking at different speeds," said lead author Joerg Hipp, Ph.D., of the University Medical Center at Hamburg-Eppendorf and the University of Tübingen, both in Germany.
Networks that included the hippocampus, a brain area critical for memory formation, tended to be active at frequencies around 5 hertz. Networks constituting areas involved in the senses and movement were active between 32 hertz and 45 hertz. Other brain networks were active at frequencies between 8 and 32 hertz.
"There have been a number of fMRI studies of depression and schizophrenia showing 'spatial' changes in the organization of brain networks," Corbettta says. "MEG studies provide a window into a much richer 'temporal' structure. In the future, this might offer new diagnostic tests or ways to monitor the efficacy of interventions in these debilitating mental conditions."
The research was published May 6 in Nature Neuroscience.

Q: HTML5 Offline Single Page Application (SPA) - Security Concerns We want to build an offline capable HTML5 SPA with sensitive business data.
Most likely with knockout.js!
But we have really hard security concerns.
What about encryption? Encryption may be possible. But the appropriate key has to be on the (offline) client side as well. And if you have both the algorithms plus keys on the client side you could also store it unencrypted in local storage.
What about data manipulation? It´s easy to manipulate the DOM or JavaScript objects with tools like Firebug etc.
I really love knockout but it doesn´t feel right for real world business applications.
Any suggestions?

A: I'm no security expert, but if you use js to encrypt/decrypt client-sde wouldn't you have to store both public and private keys client-side? Effectively neutralizing your whole security model.
I think once you have data client-side there really is no way to keep it fully secure, you have to trust the browser to keep the state private but really to be 100% secure you either have to abandon the web or live with the consequences by redirecting to a page or destroying your state after specific time period, sending partial data to the client and relying on server side to fill in the blanks. In a sense all web pages are offline capable if you don't close the tab. Think of your banking website with all your account activity on the page, I see no distinction between that and offline js from a security point of view.
Re: Data manipulation, this really isn't a KO "feature" but JS allows you to do pretty advanced data manipulation and libraries like linq.js make things so much easier. Not quite sql but respectable none the less.
I think KO is absolutely right for real-world business applications. More broadly the browser/js/html may not be right for the level of security you are after.
Bit of a rant, Hope this helps.

InfoTrack take advantage of Land Registry National Polygon Service to reduce delays in the conveyancing process
InfoTrack, the conveyancing service provider, are taking advantage of Land Registry National Polygon Service by placing title data into a Map Search tool. The feature allows conveyancers to quickly identify land by Title Number or postcode.
InfoTrack say this is in direct response to their findings that delays are caused when land is not clearly identified early in the conveyancing process.
InfoTrack state the new, free to use, feature is designed to overcome the challenges that conveyancers continue to face and saves valuable time when dealing with large areas of land, and is particularly useful for commercial and new developments.
Scott Bozinis, CEO of InfoTrack commented "Our data tells us that many delays in the conveyancing process are a result of land not being identified clearly from the start. This is especially true when land has no associated postcode or lacks information. Using Land Registry title data and adding a simple feature to search by Title Number helps overcome the delays. The investment into the National Polygon Service demonstrates our intention to continue to evolve the market and give conveyancers back their time."
Stuart Gray, Land Registry's business development manager, said "we are delighted InfoTrack is using the data in such an innovative way. The National Polygon Service is the most comprehensive dataset we supply. They now have immediate access to more than 24 million titles in England and Wales. By integrating this data with our Business Gateway API they can also access our register data, title plans and obtain online ownership confirmation, enabling them to verify home ownership online. We look forward to working together in the future.
New mapping features have also been introduced onto the InfoTrack platform, including the ability to draw and plot boundaries of properties and highways on an uploaded plan, catering for the different ways in which conveyancers' work.
Scott added, "Technology in the workplace must be enjoyable and easy for the user and that should be no different even if it is the plotting of boundaries. By providing convenient mapping tools, conveyancers can provide information about property the way they want. Along with being able to perform key conveyancing tasks – including searches, indemnities, SDLT Submissions and AP1 Transfers within a single platform, using InfoTrack to complete a matter is made more enjoyable than using multiple sites."


"Potentially, yes. If you have different expression of two alleles, and one is very low, you may not be able to call them correctly -- e.g. you may call the wrong genotype, or miss the call altogether (if it looks hom-ref).
I am calling variants with RNAseq data using gatk. Since the missing call for hom-ref (i.e. 0/0) may affect the calculation of heterozygosity of a population a lot, is it possible to recover 0/0? If not, how should I properly deal with loci with 0/0 so that the heterozygosity will not be biased?
In my vcf files from gatk, missing genotypes are represented in two ways, "./." and ".". Although documentations indicate that they represent diploid and haploid genotypes that are missing, it is still unclear why they are different. Could you please provide some hints on what may generate "./." and "."? Also, is "." actually hom-ref (i.e. 0/0)?

WOOD. Choosing the wood for an outdoor project is important If you're planning to use an outdoor oil finish, make sure to select a wood that has some resistance to decay, like cedar or redwood. But if you want to paint the birdhouse, as we did, you could also use Douglas fir.
One wood that should really be avoided is pressure-treated (Wol-manized) lumber. Thafs because the chemicals used in the processing of pressure-treated lumber can often be harmful to birds.
I was never a star pupil in geometry class. So when I first saw the plans for this eight-sided birdhouse, all I could do was wonder how I would ever calculate all the angles and lengths. But Kevin, who designed the birdhouse, assured me it wouldn't be all that difficult As it turns out, he was right. Figuring out the angles for the octagonal roof and main body of the bird-house is pretty easy. (I found the information on a chart) The tricky part is fitting all the pieces together.
To help you out, we've included a separate article on this type of joinery (known as "stave" construction). It starts on page 32.

Blade Runner 2019: Did Life Imitate Art?
5/28/2019; 47 minutes
The film Blade Runner was set in a dystopian 2019 Los Angeles. A timely gathering is in order. Three futurists sit down for a conversation on the film's legacy and its relevance to Southern California. The guest speakers are David Brin, Paul Sammon and Mike Davis. They discuss the film's influence and compare its vision with today's 2019. Blade Runner initially underperformed in theaters when it was first released in 1982; some praised its thematic complexity and visuals, while others were displeased with its slow-paced narrative and unconventional plot. However, by 1992 it had become a cult classic and was re-released in newly edited versions. Why did it take a decade to find — or create — its audience? (#34684)

Jim Jordan Hides From 1/6 Committee But Says It Is His Job To Tell The Truth
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) made himself an outspoken critic of the 1/6 Committee.
Jim Jordan says it is his job to tell the truth to the American people, "And it is our job to tell the truth and bring the truth to the American people."

Jordan said on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures, "It does not I wonder if he wants to one way and then try to deceive American people. They've been doing it for such a long time. But remember Joe Biden said was to unite the world and they do nothing that. And it is our job to tell them Truth and take the Truth to the people American people. The advantage of the job is that The American people think outside. "
Rep Jordan made the remarks while appearing on Fox News trying to persuade Americans to believe he was telling the truth about everything except one thing he did not ask of former Trump member Larry Kudlow.
Jim Jordan is a truthful man who refuses to talk about the Capitol invasion. Rep. Jordan says everything else, but don't ask him about Trump's takeover or his role in it.
If Jordan wants to tell the truth, he can begin to sit down with the 1/6 Committee under oath.

What do we expect from the police?
We hire the police to serve and protect. What do want them to do? The latest police shooting in LA puts the police front and center in the midst of controversy. The police say the man "African" was reaching for one of the policeman's weapon, and the police killed him. Who is at fault here? We also have to ask when did it become acceptable to fight with the police? Policeman want to go home at the end of the day and they will subdue any threat to that outcome Does this mean every time a policeman shoots he is justified? No, but we have to look at the facts of each case before we indict either party.
Racist or ridiculous? Share your thoughts.
Husain Abdullah flagged on MNF for praying?
Tim Tebow was known for offering a prayer of thanksgiving for good plays he made in college and in the NFL. He popularized "Tebowing". He was not penalized, but last night Husain Abdullah offered up an act of thanksgiving and he was rewarded with a 15 yard penalty. Can we say double standard. Share your thoughts.
Does Ferguson showcase the generational division in the black community?
Who is leading the young people in the black community? As we watch the conflict in Ferguson we see young people willing to risk tear gas to get their point across. To these young people Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are icons from the past. They are not really relevant figures to the young people. This is the social media generation. They are more comfortable texting than listening to leaders from the past recite rhymes or platitudes. So where do we go from here? What is victory? Will an arrest quell the violence? Since an arrest is not imminent will the unrest simply go on unchecked? No it won't. The city has to return to normal. People have to go work, children have to go back to school. This has to come to an end, and it will, it will be interesting to see how it ends.

It is fine to disagree with the administration about the handling of Bowe Bergdahl but taking potshots at his father is seemingly a bridge too far. Yesterday Joe Scarborough crossed that bridge and said what he would have done if his son was in a similar situation. Churck Todd who is no fan of the administration challenged him. It is so easy for the media to sit in their comfy chairs and ponder all the "what ifs", but it is truly another thing to be the parents of a son that has been missing for 5 years. At this point we don't know all the facts of Bergdahl's disappearance, and we also know it is impossible to say what we would do for our own child. Joe needs to take a step back from the plank.

The Heart of Dating
Salt + Light Media
As a single Canadian man transplanted into Los Angeles, I'm morbidly interested in the dysfunctional dating culture here. We have perhaps the highest density of young adults anywhere, yet the most bemoaning and anguish of those unable to find love. Countless stories of bad dating manners and gender role dysfunction abound. Not surprising then to see the growing trend of "friends with benefits" - mutual use-use relationships of sex and nothing more.
Christians aren't immune from this cultural tornado. Ask any young adult Catholic these days "Can men and women be 'just friends'?", "How should you initiate a dating relationship?" and "Is it OK to kiss? when and how?" You will rarely find any agreement. Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body has done wonders re-directing our understanding of conjugal sex. But how do we apply it to navigating the twisted rapids of dating in a secular world?
This has left many adrift seeking answers. We see this hunger reflected through the popularity of shows like "The Bachelor", "The Bachelorette" or "Bagged" (remember, none of them are actually "real"). Or films such as the "No Strings Attached" chronicling a decidedly sex-only relationship.
Contrast this with a new documentary, "The Heart of Dating" which aims to contribute some Christian perspective. In a spirit similar to "Irreplacable", which examined the state of fatherhood, this documentary follows a number of "datables" across North America as they seek out love. They question how and why courtship has collapsed, and what new practices are taking it's place.
Megan Harrington and Catherine Fowler, are the producers of this film - both friends of mine whom I highly highly respect. Originally from Montana and Kansas (respectively) they've earned their stripes working in the entertainment industry for a number of years. They've also secured cooperation from Focus on the Family, so I expect nothing from greatness from this project!
They are currently in production, so please keep them in your prayers. Check out the trailer here and watch for it when it's released!

Combining fast paced action with tactical gameplay. Pixelated yet realistic blood, gore, gun mechanics, and an emerging storyline blend together beautifully, creating an atmosphere you won't soon forget.
The game is still in early stages. Most of the core elements and mechanics are already finished, but as of now there's only two levels to play through. We wanted to give you a taste of what the game will be like when it's finished, so the latest build is now available as demo.
Donations are always welcome, as it helps us to stay motivated.
Currently, the plan is to add 5 chapters (Acts) which tell different parts of a bigger story revolving around the Blue Hotel, a powerful syndicate responsible for the great majority of the nation's crime. We also want to add quite a few weapons, each with its own perks and disadvantages.
The controls are as follows:
Button(s)
Walk W / A / S / D
Run Shift
Aim Right mouse button
Shoot Left mouse button
Interact / Close Door
Reload R
Pause game
Toggle Silencer
Left Ctrl
Switch Weapons

I really like the gameplay, it feels very tactical and unique. However, it could use some Feedback improvement, for instance, some weapons can only be shot after aiming down the sights, and I only realized that after my 5th death. Maybe this could be done by changing the cross-hair or drawing a Laser/Line when you can shot the weapon.
The game suffers from A LOT of pixel distortion, the application surface is too small, and camera rotation and movement only make it worse, please give an option to change the window size and allow the game to use Half Pixels, it will look great.
The weapons feels great, but some of them doesn't make much sense, there's an WW2 weapon, but also a Laser Sniper Rifle (?), it doesn't fits. besides that, they mostly feel nice and the sound effects are great.
I like the enemy AI, nice job.
The aesthetic is great, but it needs improvement, specially on the level design, most rooms are huge, and they don't have a purpose, add some props and variety to them.
The game is definitely worth to keep a look at. (btw, the Discord link is down).
Can't wait to see where it's going. Good luck with the project, it does have a ton of potential.

Really love the aesthetic! but my 4k monitor screws with everything. the main menu blacks out 3/4ths of the monitor and only appears in the top left corner, the levels load in fullscreen but the fade in and out mask on level load and death only covers the top left corner, a windowed mode might be a huge help. I'm not sure if there is a cooldown time on firing but no weapon other than the gas fired more than once for me (maybe I just died too quickly). No complaints here, just letting you know what happened on my end, game looks awesome!
Lockhead2 years ago
Thanks a lot for the feedback. I'll look into the resolution problem immediately.
After a lot of tweaking, the game should now be resolution independent. However, since I do not own a 4k monitor myself, I'd love to hear from you if the issue has been resolved.

Q: Problem with Elasticsearch and getting results I have a Elasticsearch in a dockercontainer, but I have problems getting results back.
My set up is like this:
In program.cs
var pool = new SingleNodeConnectionPool(new Uri(builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("Elasticsearch")));
var settings = new ConnectionSettings(pool)
    .DisableDirectStreaming()
    .DefaultIndex(ElasticSearchHelper.AddressesIndexName);
var client = new ElasticClient(settings);
builder.Services.AddSingleton(client);

My indexer:
await _elasticClient.Indices.DeleteAsync(AddressesIndexName, ct: cancellationToken);
            if (!(await _elasticClient.Indices.ExistsAsync(AddressesIndexName, ct: cancellationToken)).Exists)
            {
                var result = await _elasticClient.Indices.CreateAsync(AddressesIndexName, m =>
                 m.Map<Address>(d =>
                     d.AutoMap()
                     .Properties(
                         p => p
                         .Text(t => t.Name(n => n.Street))
                         .Keyword(t => t.Name(n => n.AddressId))
                         .Text(t => t.Name(n => n.AddressId))
                     )
                 )
                , ct: cancellationToken);
            }
            int totalRows = 0;
            var addresses = await _dataContext.Addresses.Take(100).ToListAsync(cancellationToken);
            performContext.WriteLine($"Found {addresses.Count} addresses");
            if (addresses.Count > 0)
            {
                var bulkAllObservable = _elasticClient.BulkAll(addresses, b => b
                     .Index(AddressesIndexName)
                     .BackOffTime("30s")
                     .BackOffRetries(2)
                     .RefreshOnCompleted()
                     .MaxDegreeOfParallelism(Environment.ProcessorCount)
                     .Size(1000)
                )
                .Wait(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(15), next =>
                {
                    totalRows = totalRows + next.Items.Count;
                    performContext.WriteLine(ConsoleTextColor.Green, "{totalRows} of {addresses.Count}");
                });
            }

My first query that does return results
var docs = _elasticClient.Search<Address>(b => b
            .Index(ElasticSearchHelper.AddressesIndexName)
       .Query(q => q
           .Terms(t => t.Field(f => f.Street).Terms("skovvangen"))

           )
       );

My second query that doesn't work:
docs = _elasticClient.Search<Address>(b => b
            .Index(ElasticSearchHelper.AddressesIndexName)
       .Query(q => q
           .Terms(t => t.Field(f => f.AddressId).Terms("000021c5-e9ee-411d-b2d8-ec9161780ccd"))

           )
       );

The first query returns a result but the second does not no matter what I do.
I am guess it is because I haven't set up the indexing correctly.
I am new to Elasticsearch, so I really need some pointers to what I am doing wrong.
Hope you can help me.


An effective direct mail piece can create and sustain relationships with your past, present, and future customers — but how can you ensure your direct mail piece leads to action? Sure, your promotion can be visually stunning, but a good offer is most commonly responsible for generating profitable responses.
Here are some tips for making your direct mail campaign stand out and spur action.
Specify your audience and personalize the offer. Depending on your audience, the offer in each piece should change. Use the data you have collected to your advantage by personalizing the message. Is this a first-time customer, or a life-long customer? Your offer should speak to them appropriately.
Once you've decided on your target, it's time to decide which offer will be the most appealing to them.
Let's dive into these options a bit further.
Tactic #1: Offer a strong guarantee. The harder the offer, the stronger the guarantee must be presented. If you're asking for payment with an order, it's vital to provide a promise to return the money if the customer isn't satisfied. Watch out for the small print and asterisks (**), which will dilute a guarantee and ultimately lessen your net results. It's best to make a guarantee as clear as possible.
Optimizing the discount for the highest returns at the least cost.
Nudging your consumer into the desired purchase value bracket.
In one case study, a national retail marketer utilized customer purchase history and variable print technology to deliver targeted discounts to specific audiences. The result was a 14% boost in ROI and higher redemption rates.
Tactic #4: Find the right response deadline. Conflicted over the grace period you should offer as a deadline to respond? If it's too soon, they will miss the deadline — and if the deadline is too long, they'll procrastinate. To combat this issue, offer the "Fast Fifty," or an offer that rewards a group of people that sign up first. The reader infers speed is of the essence, but rank in line trumps all. In fact, whether the responder was the 50th, or the 300th, you can still honor the offer.
Time the offer close to the most recent sale. The easiest time to close a sale is immediately after the preceding order. Review the invoices you are currently mailing and ask how you can provide a variable offer on the invoice to inspire an additional purchase.
Test your offer. With any type of offer, testing is imperative. Analyze your results across offer categories, such as premium 1 vs. premium 2 vs. no premium. You should also look for differences in responses by premium within the list category. For instance, half of your responders may like premiums, while the other half want a price discount. As a marketer, you need to know the demographic preference for one premium over another.
Each person who comes in contact with your direct mail marketing campaign is different — so the offer inside should be, too.

It can become tiring having to spend an entire weekend day at the Laundromat doing your laundry. You are stuck in one location for hours on end, feeding quarters into machines also used by other people. You might think this is your only option to get your clothes washed and dried, besides paying for a laundry service. But you would be wrong, as there is another option for you to consider, regardless of whether there are any existing washer and dryer connections in your home.
You are able to retake control of your weekends by purchasing your own combination washer and ventless dryer. This is an all-in-one appliance that not only washes your clothes, but also dries them in the same unit. Because the unit is ventless, there is no dryer vent required for drying your clothes. The appliance does not even require a special dryer plug, and it can be plugged directly into a regular 110V outlet. Your only consideration is deciding how you want to hook up the hot and cold water lines and the discharge line.
One option is to have a plumber install washer hook ups in a fixed location within your home. Your other available option is to add a wheel kit and portable water connection kit to your appliance. Both of these kits turn your new combination washer and dryer into a portable machine. You can store it out of the way whenever it is not needed. Any time you want to do a load of laundry, you simply roll the unit up to your kitchen sink, connect the adapter on the water connection kit to your faucet, turn on the water, plug in the appliance, and you are ready to do laundry.

Q: Bad interaction between line-height and border-width breaks vertical rhythm - can they be reconciled? I'm trying to implement a baseline/vertical rhythm on a responsive site. Top and bottom borders on table cells are causing me trouble. I have a minimal version of the problem here:
http://codepen.io/bakert/pen/akZWXE
If you set the border on th/td to 0 the vertical grid is respected from top to bottom and the text in both columns lines up. If you set the border to 0.0625em/1px/anything and scroll down below the table you will see that the columns are now out of whack. The text in the table itself is also no longer respecting the vertical grid.
The problem is that line-height does not account for border-width. The two things are additive in determining the height of the tds. Ideally I'm looking for something like box-sizing: border-box but for line-height + border.
I could solve this by explicitly giving th.bordered, td.bordered a fractionally smaller line-height than p but that sounds pretty awful. Should I be setting my vertical rhythm using something other than line-height? A combination of line-height and margin and I then reduce the margin by the width of the border? I'm hoping there's something simpler than that!

A:   table {
    width: 100%;
    box-shadow: inset -1px -1px 0 0 #ccc;
  }
  td {
    padding-right: 1em;
    width: 50%;
    box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 0 0 #ccc;
  }

EDIT - September 4th
Fix for background-color.
You can use border for  element and margin should move element below 1px up. So border on table would not create another line-height problem. But this can not be used on  elements.
  table {
    width: 100%;
    margin-bottom: -1px;
    border: 0 1px 1px 0;
    border-style: solid;
    border-color: #ccc;
  }

Fatigue management for truck drivers – what research shows
2019-06-18 /in News /by Sybul Ngobeni
By Eugene Herbert
According to some experts as much as 60% of truck crashes can be attributed to fatigued driving. Clearly, if that is even remotely true, it is imperative that something is done about it– and soon.
Fatigued driving management for truck drivers is an important element of keeping our roads safe. While the mining industry has largely implemented a range of fatigue management strategies, truck drivers on our roads can be at risk. A new, world-first, study into fatigue in heavy vehicle shifts is providing some startling revelations.
The Australian National Transport Commission (NTC) and the Cooperative Research Centre for Alertness, Safety and Productivity (Alertness CRC) is releasing the results of a world-first study into heavy vehicle driver fatigue.
The two-year scientific study evaluates alertness monitoring technology and the impacts of work shifts on driver alertness. It analyses shift start time, the number of consecutive shifts, shift length, shift rotation, rest breaks and their likely impact on driver drowsiness and fatigue.
Spokesperson and Theme Leader for the Alertness CRC Associate Professor Mark Howard says the research involves a study of more than 300 heavy vehicle driver shifts. This is both in-vehicle and in a laboratory, as well as 150 000 samples of retrospective data. "We found slow eye and eyelid movements, longer blink duration and prolonged eye closure are reliable predictors of drowsiness and fatigue'" Associate Professor Howard says.
The fatigued driving management for truck drivers study also confirms the scientific link between alertness and drowsiness patterns associated with specific work shifts for heavy vehicle driving. NTC Chief Executive Officer Dr Gillian Miles says these findings will inform future fatigue policy as part of the NTC-led review of the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL).
"This is critical new evidence that will ultimately help to decrease heavy vehicle fatigue risk. This s at a time when the nation's freight task is expected to double by 2030," Dr Miles says.
The Alertness CRC conducted the research as part of a wider collaboration, including the NTC, the Australian Government, Transport for NSW, Austin Health, Monash University, the Institute for Breathing and Sleep and the heavy vehicle industry.
Greatest alertness levels are possible under current standard driving hours for shifts. This is starting between 6am to 8am, including all rest breaks.
The greatest risk of an increase in drowsiness occurs:
After 15 hours of day driving when a driver starts a shift before 9 am
After 6–8 hours of night driving (when a driver starts a shift in the afternoon or evening)
After 5 consecutive shifts when driving again for over 13 hours
When driving an early shift that starts after midnight and before 6am.
During the first 1-2 night shifts a driver undertakes and during long night shift sequences
When a driver undertakes a backward shift rotation (from an evening, back to the afternoon, or an afternoon back to a morning start
After long shift sequences of more than seven shifts
During nose-to-tail shifts where a seven-hour break only enables five hours of sleep – a duration previously associated with a three-fold increased risk for motor vehicle accidents.

Miles Johnston recently hosted an amazing conference in Ireland in which some of the top Speakers on the World of the Occult and Conspiracies spoke. This video on ever important topic of the Black Goo. Some say it is an Evil Sentient similar to what we first saw in the Star Trek, but others have also stated that there are two types of Black Goo, one being Evil and the being the energy lifeline of the Earth itself that has been corrupted over the years. As always the Military Industrial Elites are front and center.
This tale on the History of the Black Goo is told by a former SuperSoldier called "John", who was a member of the British Armed Forces.
Soldier "John" , now extremely ill, describes his personal events on **'Thule' island i**n the far south Atlantic, in 1982, when his mission orders were changed to go to this island, and ultimately destroy the remaining Argentinean 'refinery' base deep under the ice, in strange, beautiful, blue ice tunnels, where many crates or tanks of this sentient fluid were contained. Involving three Royal Navy ships, which bombarded the island for some hours, before John and the rest went in, a container ship, and a submarine.
John describes his personal experiences to a small Bases Christmas lecture audience at the Black Swan Inn, Devizes, Dec 2017.
The Black Goo has been much talked about, now we have a soldier who stood on top on these crates inside a super cold tunnel system, and was there when the Royal Navy and SBS – SAS forces removed many tanks (2, x 2m by 1.5) for use in the UK, which resulted in many deaths of Marconi scientists in the later 1980s.
Nexus Magazine is publishing an update in Alec Newald's book Co-Evolution.
This account described by John, a former soldier of a certain regiment in the British Army, who was there when a massive quantity of the 'oil' was removed, and who was part of the team responsible for the destruction of the facilities there, in 1982. This has never been made public before.
He has given this statement due to the state of his health, due a strange illness which requires him to give many very painful blood samples, often spending time in hospitals in counties far from his native England.
The lecture was immediately preceded by a special presentation by Michael Shrimpton on the Falklands islands, which had a Nazi submarine base on Thule Island in the 1940s, and possibly earlier..and later, and links it to the infamous Admiral Byrd mission in the early 1950s.
The Armus Black Goo Mass from Star Trek. Notice that the name of the Episode is called "Skin of Evil" because that is very similar to the ending of Lucy the movie.
The Ending to Lucy. Notice anything similar?
