Congenital heart disease includes a variety of malformations of the heart or its major blood vessels that are present at the birth of a child.
Congenital heart disease occurs when the heart or blood vessels near the heart do not develop properly before birth. About eight out of every 1,000 newborns have congenital heart disease, which is the most frequent congenital malformation. About half of these cases require medical treatment. More than 500,000 patients with congenital heart disease in the United States have reached adulthood. Some of these had mild types of congenital heart disease, but most needed surgery in order to survive. Patients who had surgery are likely to experience other cardiac problems later in life. Congenital heart disease is also called congenital heart defect.
Most types of congenital heart disease obstruct the flow of blood in the heart or the vessels near it, or cause an abnormal flow of blood through the heart. Rarer types of congenital heart disease occur when the newborn has only one ventricle, when the pulmonary artery and the aorta come out of the same ventricle, or when one side of the heart is not completely formed.
When the temporary blood vessel connecting the left pulmonary artery to the aorta in the fetus does not close in the newborn, some of the blood that should flow through the aorta returns to the lungs. Patent ductus arteriosus is common in premature babies, but rare in full-term babies. It has also been associated with mothers who had German measles (rubella) while pregnant.
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome, where the left side of the heart is underdeveloped, is rare, but it is the most serious type of congenital heart disease. In this situation, blood reaches the aorta, which pumps blood to the entire body, only from the ductus, which then normally closes within a few days of birth. In hypoplastic left heart syndrome, the baby seems normal at birth, but as the ductus closes, blood cannot reach the aorta and circulation fails.
When heart valves, arteries, or veins are narrowed, they partly or completely block the flow of blood. The most common obstruction defects are pulmonary valve stenosis, aortic valve stenosis, and coarctation of the aorta. Bicuspid aortic valve and subaortic stenosis are less common.
Stenosis is a narrowing of the valves or arteries. In pulmonary stenosis, the pulmonary valve does not open properly, forcing the right ventricle to work harder. In aortic stenosis, the improperly formed aortic valve is narrowed. As the left ventricle works harder to pump blood through the body, it becomes enlarged. In coarctation of the aorta, the aorta is constricted, reducing the flow of blood to the lower part of the body and increasing blood pressure in the upper body.
A bicuspid aortic valve has only two flaps, instead of three, which can lead to stenosis in adulthood. Subaortic stenosis is a narrowing of the left ventricle below the aortic valve, which limits the flow of blood from the left ventricle.
When a baby is born with a hole in the septum (the wall separating the right and left sides of the heart), blood leaks from the left side of the heart to the right. A major leakage can lead to enlargement of the heart and failing circulation. The most common types of septal defects are atrial septal defect, an opening between the two upper heart chambers, and ventricular septal defect, an opening between the two lower heart chambers.
Heart disorders that cause a decreased, inadequate amount of oxygen in blood pumped to the body are called cyanotic defects. Cyanotic defects, including tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries, and tricuspid atresia, result in a blue discoloration of the skin due to low oxygen levels. About 10% of cases of congenital heart disease in the United States are tetralogy of Fallot, which includes four defects. The major defects are a large hole between the ventricles, which allows oxygen-poor blood to mix with oxygen-rich blood, and narrowing at or beneath the pulmonary valve. The other defects are an overly muscular right ventricle and an aorta that lies over the ventricular hole.
In transposition (reversal of position) of the great arteries, the pulmonary artery and the aorta are reversed, causing oxygen-rich blood to re-circulate to the lungs while oxygen-poor blood goes to the rest of the body. In tricuspid atresia, the baby lacks a triscupid valve and blood cannot flow properly from the right atrium to the right ventricle.
In most cases, the causes of congenital heart disease cannot be identified. Genetic and environmental factors, and lifestyle habits can all be involved. The likelihood of having a child with a congenital heart disease increases if the mother or father, another child, or another relative had congenital heart disease. Viral infections, such as German measles, can produce congenital heart disease. Many cases of congenital heart disease result from the mother's excessive use of alcohol or taking illegal drugs, such as cocaine, while pregnant. The mother's exposure to certain anticonvulsant and dermatologic drugs during pregnancy can also cause congenital heart disease. There are some genetic conditions, such as Down's syndrome, which affect multiple organs and can cause congenital heart disease.
Symptoms of congenital heart disease in general include: shortness of breath, cyanosis (bluish discoloration of the skin), heart murmur, respiratory infections that recur excessively, stunted growth, and limbs and muscles that are underdeveloped.
Patent ductus arteriosus: quick tiring, slow growth, susceptibility to pneumonia, rapid breathing. If the ductus is small, there are no symptoms.
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome: ashen color, rapid and difficult breathing, inability to eat.
Obstruction defects: cyanosis (skin that is discolored blue), chest pain, tiring easily, dizziness or fainting, congestive heart failure, and high blood pressure.
Septal defects: difficulty breathing, stunted growth. Sometimes there are no symptoms.
Cyanotic defects: cyanosis, sudden rapid breathing or unconsciousness, and shortness of breath and fainting during exercise.
Echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging are used to confirm congenital heart disease when it is suggested by the symptoms and physical examination. An echocardiograph will display an image of the heart that is formed by sound waves. It detects valve and other heart problems. Fetal echocardiography is used to diagnose congenital heart disease in utero. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, a scanning method which uses magnetic fields and radio waves, can help physicians evaluate congenital heart disease, but is not always necessary.
Congenital heart disease is treated with drugs and/or surgery. Drugs used include diuretics, which aid the baby in excreting water and salts, and digoxin, which strengthens the contraction of the heart, slows the heartbeat, and removes fluid from tissues. Surgical procedures seek to repair the defect as much as possible and restore circulation to as close to normal as possible. Sometimes, multiple surgical procedures are necessary. Surgical procedures include: arterial switch, balloon atrial septostomy, balloon valvuloplasty, Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure, Fontan procedure, pulmonary artery banding, Ross procedure, shunt procedure, and venous switch or intra-atrial baffle. Children with congenital heart disease require lifelong monitoring, even after successful surgery.
Arterial switch, to correct transposition of the great arteries, involves connecting the aorta to the left ventricle and connecting the pulmonary artery to the right ventricle. Balloon atrial septostomy, also done to correct transposition of the great arteries, enlarges the atrial opening during heart catheterization. Balloon valvuloplasty uses a balloon-tipped catheter to open a narrowed heart valve, improving the flow of blood in pulmonary stenosis. It is sometimes used in aortic stenosis. Transposition of the great arteries can also be corrected by the Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure, in which the pulmonary artery is cut in two and connected to the ascending aorta and the farthest section of the right ventricle. For tricuspid atresia and pulmonary atresia, the Fontan procedure connects the right atrium to the pulmonary artery directly or with a conduit, and the atrial defect is closed. Pulmonary artery banding, narrowing the pulmonary artery with a band to reduce blood flow and pressure in the lungs, is used for ventricular septal defect, atrioventricular canal defect, and tricuspid atresia. Later, the band can be removed and the defect corrected with open-heart surgery. To correct aortic stenosis, the Ross procedure grafts the pulmonary artery to the aorta. For tetralogy of Fallot, tricuspid atresia, or pulmonary atresia, the shunt procedure creates a passage between blood vessels, sending blood into parts of the body that need it. For transposition of the great arteries, venous switch creates a tunnel inside the atria to re-direct oxygen-rich blood to the right ventricle and aorta and venous blood to the left ventricle and pulmonary artery.
The outlook for children with congenital heart disease has improved markedly in the past two decades. Many types of congenital heart disease that would have been fatal can now be treated successfully. Research on diagnosing heart defects when the fetus is in the womb may lead to future treatment to correct defects before the baby is born.
Congenital heart disease cannot be predicted and most types cannot be prevented. General measures to ensure the birth of a healthy baby, such as avoiding excess alcohol, not taking drugs, and avoiding exposure to rubella and environmental toxins, will help prevent some cases.
The main artery which pumps blood through the body. Many congenital heart defects affect the aorta.
Refers to physically abnormal conditions that are present at birth. Congenital heart disease includes a variety of defects that babies are born with.
Marked by bluish discoloration of the skin due to a lack of oxygen in the blood. It is one of the types of congenital heart disease.
Incomplete development or underdevelopment of the heart. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is the most serious type of congenital heart disease.
Relating to the septum, the thin muscle wall dividing the right and left sides of the heart. Holes in the septum are called septal defects.
A narrowing or constriction--in this case, of various heart valves. Stenosis reduces or cuts off the flow of blood. It is one of the types of congenital heart disease.

If you are working at a stationary desk, a CPU holder is very nice to have. If you are working at a height-adjustable desk, CPU holders are essential to prevent accidental disconnection of your power and network connections. They also provide improved access to your ROM drives, USB drives and peripheral connections while allowing you to neatly tuck everything away when you're finished.
Available in standard or locking models, ErgoAdvantage 7300 series CPU holders hold your computer stably and securely with their substantial clamping force. Each features a 17" glide track and the option of adding a tamper-proof locking nut for added security. Each is rated to hold an impressive 85 pounds maximum. An optional track riser kit is available for those users (particularly standing height-adjustable desk users) who have desk hardware mounted on the bottom of the desktop surface which might interfere with the mounting pattern or movement of the CPU.
Each 7300-series CPU Holder (or riser kit to which the rest of the assembly is attached) is mounted directly to the underside of your desk with sharp-point screws--either on the left or right side depending on what side from which is it more convenient to access your DVD-ROM, USB ports and more. Not recommended for single-leg adjustable-height desks.

Q: Pretty MuPad: Output of assignment, expression and result in one line - How to create that function? I'm trying to get Matlabs's MuPad as pretty  and convenient as MathCad.
Assume two variable assignments:
x_a:=2*unit::mm;
y_b:=5*unit::mm;

and I want a prettyfied (typeset with Tex) output like
z = x_a + y_b = 7 mm

I already managed to do so by using output::mathText(...):
output::mathText(hold(z)," = " , (z:=hold(x_a+y_b)) , " = " , z)

which looks as desired:

But this is not really convenient and not readable. So I'm trying to wrap it into a macro or a function:
evalPrint(z,x_a+y_b)

How can I do that?

What I tried:
I wrote a procedure as follows:
evalPrint :=
proc(x,y) begin
  output::mathText(hold(x)," = " , (x:=hold(y)) , " = " , x)
end_proc:

but I just get

What am I missing?

Regarding horchler's answer: his first solution does somehow not work, while the second does:
procedures:
evalPrintVal := proc(x,y) option hold;
begin
    output::mathText(x, " = ", evalassign(x,y));
end_proc:
evalPrintEq := proc(x,y) option hold;
begin
    output::mathText(x, " = ", evalassign(x,y), " = ", context(y));
end_proc:
evalPrintEq2 := proc(x,y) option hold;
begin
    output::mathText(x, " = ", y, " = ", evalassign(x,y));
end_proc:

call:
evalPrintVal(U_1,15000*unit::V);
evalPrintEq(E_h, U_1*1.05);
evalPrintEq2(E_h, U_1*1.05);

output:

A: This is a problem of scope. MuPAD is no different from most other programming languages in that methods/functions/procedures have a limited lexical scope. The DOM_VAR domain type refers to a local variable of a procedure (a bit more here). You can't directly see the name of a variable before it's passed into a Matlab function (use inputname for this), and MuPAD is no different. Additionally, arguments are normally evaluated before they get passed into the functions or procedure.
Luckily, the fix is pretty easy in terms of coding. First, you need to use the hold option for your proc. This appears to both prevent evaluation of input arguments and allow access to "the actual parameter in the form that was used in the procedure call." Then you need to use context to evaluate the last part of your output. The resultant procedure looks like this:
evalPrint := proc(x,y) option hold;
begin
    output::mathText(x, " = ", y, " = ", context(y));
end_proc:

Then
x_a := 2*unit::mm;
y_b := 5*unit::mm;
evalPrint(z, x_a+y_b);
z;

returns

However, since this was done in a procedure, the value of z wasn't assigned a value in the global scope like in your inline expression. To handle this, the evalassign function can be used:
evalPrint := proc(x,y) option hold;
begin
    output::mathText(x, " = ", evalassign(x,hold(y)), " = ", context(y));
end_proc:

which now returns 7 mm for z like your inline expression:

This form works as well and is slightly more concise:
evalPrint := proc(x,y) option hold;
begin
    output::mathText(x, " = ", y, " = ", evalassign(x,y));
end_proc:

Tested in R2015a.

Logitech G Introduces Force Feedback Racing Wheel for the PlayStation®4
Logitech G29 Driving Force Features Hand-Stitched Leather, Dual-Motor Force Feedback and All-Steel Pedals With Clutch
NEWARK, Calif. — June 11, 2015 — Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI), a leading innovator of gaming peripherals, today announced the Logitech® G29 Driving Force™, a force feedback racing wheel licensed for PlayStation®4 (PS4™) and PlayStation®3 (PS3). Built for precision racing and long-lasting reliability, the Logitech G29 Driving Force features a dual-motor force feedback transmission with anti-backlash helical gearing, hand-stitched leather-wrapped rim, and stainless steel throttle, brake, and clutch pedals.
"Our fans have been asking for a PS4 wheel since launch of the system," said Ujesh Desai, vice president and general manager of the Logitech gaming business. "For the past 18 months we have been working with Sony to deliver a fully-licensed racing wheel and I am excited to announce it today."
Engineered with dual-motor force feedback, the Logitech G29 Driving Force realistically simulates the feel of your car with weight shift, realistic road conditions and tire wear, so you can sense under- or over-steering, traction loss and more. With helical gears modeled after the gearing used in car transmissions, you get exceptionally smooth, quiet and precise steering action. Anti-backlash hardware also keeps the wheel and pedal input tight, to maximise control.
Built to last, the Logitech G29 Driving Force features solid steel ball bearings in the wheel shaft, and stainless steel paddle shifters and pedals. High-quality, hand-stitched leather gives the Logitech G29 Driving Force the look and feel of a high-performance racecar wheel, and ensures a more comfortable and durable user experience. Additionally, built-in clamps and bolt points allow you to securely mount the wheel to a table or racing seat to minimise shifting or wobbling during aggressive maneuvers.
For seamless access to racing controls, the D-Pad, console buttons and semi-automatic paddle shifters are conveniently located on the Logitech G29 Driving Force. LED indicator lights tell you exactly when to shift, so you can maintain maximum acceleration without taking your eyes off the track. A 24-point selection dial and plus/minus buttons let you also fine-tune your driving preferences.
The Logitech G29 Driving Force comes with a separate floor pedal unit that lets you comfortably brake, accelerate and change gears, just as you would in an actual car, and also allows you to maintain a more realistic body position for driving. The nonlinear brake pedal mimics the performance of a pressure-sensitive brake system for a responsive, accurate braking feel. Additionally, the G29 includes a dedicated clutch, so gamers who want to test their abilities can have a truly immersive racing experience.
The Logitech G29 Driving Force is expected to be available in July 2015, for a suggested retail price of €399.99. For more information please visit our website or our blog.

Riot grrrl is a feminist movement and music genre largely credited for generating third wave feminism out of the punk rock moshpits in the Pacific Northwest and Washington, D.C. In Los Angeles, riot grrrls took the concepts shared through music and zines and applied them to a diverse culture. In Los Angeles, there is solidarity between riot grrrls, chicana punks, black panthers, peace punks, racial justice activists, animal rights activists, food not bombs and LGBT activists. This is what happens when people work towards the common goal of liberation for all people. Lost Grrrls: Riot Grrrl in Los Angeles documents this scene.
Riot Grrrl's utopian call for a grrrl revolution catalyzed a feminist youth movement by encouraging grrrls to produce their own music, performance and politics. Grrrl Love shows what is possible when a group of grrrls band together in the belief that they "can, and will, change the world for real" (Riot Grrrl Manifesto).

NCAA Football Tickets
Saturdays just aren't the same without college football. When fall comes around, universities across the country take to the gridiron to battle for supremacy and droves of fans unleash their passion in the stands. Business really picks up once bowl games come around, and squads only have one chance to put a winning cap on all of their hard work and perseverance. Pick up College Football Playoff tickets right here for both the Orange Bowl and the Cotton Bowl. We also have College Football Championship Game tickets available for the biggest game of all. The playoffs get a lot of attention, but real fans know they aren't the only college football games out there. Check out the huge selectin for all College Bowl Games, from the Rose Bowl to the Peach Bowl and everything in between. Don't miss out on one last game this season and get your college football tickets today.
Conference Championship Games
While bowl games get a lot of attention in the press, many true fans consider the biggest game of the year their conference championships. For many teams, winning the conference carries more weight than beating a team from a different division in a far-off bowl game. College Football Championship Games always provide some great moments. Throw in the fact that the winner of the championship game goes on to play in one of the BCS Bowls and these games are riding on some pretty high stakes. So if your team is able to earn the right to play for the chance to best all of their conference rivals, you'll want to witness the accomplishment in person.
Southeastern Conference (SEC)
The Southeastern Conference is one of the big dogs, maybe the biggest, in NCAA football and is home to several bona-fide classic games every year. The SEC has 12 member schools, and if you attend a meeting between teams in the SEC Conference you are in for a treat. The SEC was established in 1932 when 13 teams left the Southern Conference to form a league of their own. Ten of the 12 SEC schools have been in the conference since the beginning, and in 1991 the SEC expanded to include the University of Arkansas and the University of South Carolina to complete its current membership. Perhaps the biggest game of the year is the SEC Championship game, and you can believe SEC Championship tickets are some of the hottest of the season. There's not really much more exciting than seeing an SEC game in person so if you can get some SEC college football tickets, do it.
SEC East:
South Carolina Fighting Gamecocks
SEC West:
As the oldest conference in college football, the Big Ten Conference has plenty of tradition and strong programs. Many Big Ten teams pose a threat to take the National Championship any year. And the Big Ten Championship Game, played at Lucas Oil Stadium, provides added excitement. You can't beat seeing a Big Ten game in person, and if you can get tickets to see it you better get the chance.

The American Athletic Conference is the newest football conference on the block, as it was created when the Catholic schools left the Big East and took their name with them. It's a whole new look, and each school boasts a solid program with a chip on its shoulder looking to make a name. There are 10 members in the American Athletic Conference, and while not all of them are playing for a national championship, these football teams have steadily improved and are now holding their own against anyone in college football.
Southern Methodist Mustangs
Tulsa Golden Hurricanes
UCF Golden Knights
One of the younger conferences in college football, the Mountain West Conference is nonetheless a formidable foe for football programs everywhere. While the Mountain West conference has only been around since 1999, many schools are traditional powerhouses, while others have their sights set on college football dominance. Make sure you get yourself to a Mountain West football game soon.

Whether measurements from sensors, results from simulations or interview recordings, modern scholarship generates incredible amounts of digital information which, properly kept and shared, holds the potential to drive new research and innovation. Recognising this, funders are implementing policies for RDM and data sharing, such as the Horizon 2020 Open Research Data Pilot, which aims to improve and maximise access to the research data generated by EU-funded projects. But good data management skills are useful far beyond complying with funder commitments: well-managed data foster good scientific practice and sharing well-formed, well-described data increases research impact.
Identify appropriate RDM tools and services.
Are you publishing an APC-free OA journal on a shoestring?
OpenAIRE is hosting a webinar on Thursday, 12 May 2016 at 10:00 CEST where you can learn more about the new OpenAIRE call for proposals to fund APC-free Open Access journals and platforms under the alternative funding mechanism of the FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot.
Besides funding APCs, OpenAIRE would also like to offer a funding opportunity for APC-free OA journals under the EC Gold Open Access Pilot: after all, two thirds of the journals listed in the DOAJ charge no APCs to their authors. Therefore, a call for proposals has been put together that will allow these journals and/or platforms and publishers to apply for funding for improving their publishing workflows along a number of suggested lines.
A maximum of €200,000 will be awarded to up to 12 bids to perform technical improvements on APC-free OA journals such as becoming OpenAIRE compatible, systematically collecting funding information in the article metadata or implementing ORCID. In order to be eligible for funding, such journals must have published (or accepted for publication) eligible articles arising from finished FP7 projects during the last year.
The call for proposals will remain open until the 30th of June, and bid assessment will be done during the month of July. The selected proposals will be announced in early August and will have until the 30th of April 2017 to carry out the proposed improvements.
The second part of the webinar will be a Q&A session where questions about this funding initiative will be answered.
As of Mar 10th, 275 funding requests have already been granted by this pilot to researchers and projects across Europe and beyond, with only 1 having been granted in Luxembourg.
Join the OpenAIRE webinar to be held on Friday 18 March at 11am to learn more about the progress of the FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot.
What dissemination actions will be carried out next.
Full details and registration link can be found on the OpenAIRE website.
If you have any questions, contact us on orbilu@uni.lu.

Congratulations to The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) for further strengthening their support of Open Access. As of the 1st December, all publications emerging from a 'call for proposals' published by NWO after this date must be immediately accessible to everybody from the moment of publication.
Valuation Score: assessment by users of the journal, either authors, editors or reviewers peers.
With QOAM you can not only express your experience with a journal as a researcher but also find out more about an OA journal, its quality and cost.
Horizon 2020 has been at the forefront as a major funder implementing Open Access policies. Following the Open Access pilot in FP7, Horizon 2020 brings a strong mandate for Open Access to publications as well as an Open Data Pilot in certain areas.
Many questions arise from this policy: how to practically follow the requirements, which media to use, and what about confidentiality issues? Which issues should be taken care of at the proposal stage, during the project and after the project finishes?
The aim of this workshop is to provide answers, to exchange experiences, and to define problems and barriers. The target audience is NCP's, research administrators and project coordinators.
The morning will be devoted to Open Science in Horizon2020. After an introduction by the EC, the benefits of Open Science will be presented by Lennart Martens. The Open Access mandate and the Open Data Pilot will be clarified with examples of how OpenAIRE services can be of help.
The afternoon will propose interactive workshops, taking a closer look at the practical implications of the Open Access mandate and the Open Data Pilot. One track will discuss the mandate, how it affects projects and researchers and how OpenAIRE can help you to comply. In a parallel group, the Open Data Pilot will be discussed, with a presentation of research data management tools. There will be time for discussion and questions as your input is important for the success of the project.
You can register for the workshop here: registration OpenAIRE workshop. There is no registration fee.

Leader: Animal health needs more research, not less
The foot and mouth epidemic may be past its peak but the lessons for research policymakers are fundamental. For decades, the United Kingdom had an Agricultural Research Council. The word "food" was added to its title in the 1980s to reflect the rise of consumerism and in the 1990s the name changed to the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council to reflect a further shift in emphasis. It is right that biotechnology, the new century's hallmark industry, should have a research council. But against its massive potential, less prestigious priorities, such as animal disease, are sure to have trouble competing for funds and priority. Farming, supported by a lacklustre agriculture ministry, could never compete with biotechnology, backed by the Department of Trade and Industry for funds.
The way ahead might lie in reorganisation, perhaps with the Natural Environment Research Council taking over agriculture research. There might even be a case for non-human biotechnology to have its own research council. But whatever happens, there must also be a ministry and an industry capable of demanding better research. Everything we know about global warming and the ease with which infectious diseases spread suggests that animal health is a subject where more research, not less, ought to figure in future spending plans.

Q: Express: Share session with websocket I'm writing a chat application with node.js and Express. The authentication is working and I can login to user accounts and register new sessions. My problem is that the chat itself runs within a Websocket (Websocket-node) and I can't access the session data. How can I identify new connection requests made to the websocket without the session data?
Thanks!

A: I would advise not working with WebSockets directly and instead use Socket.IO.  It has authorization and handshaking built in

Here is how you can get session information

BIGOTS OPPOSE FUNDS FOR RELIGIOUS GROUPS
Home/Latest News Releases/BIGOTS OPPOSE FUNDS FOR RELIGIOUS GROUPS
Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on opposition to federal funding of religious groups affected by the coronavirus pandemic:
The apostles of inclusion always draw the line when it comes to houses of worship and religious non-profits. They have done so again now that religious non-profits qualify for financial assistance from the Small Business Administration. This bothers them: they want to discriminate against these entities.
The Trump administration does not believe it is proper to discriminate against any organization in the distribution of funds attendant to the coronavirus pandemic. American Atheists calls this an "unconstitutional giveaway" and Freedom From Religion Foundation says it is "alarmed" by the policy. Neither can match the bigotry of Charles Pierce, the veteran religion hater (he has a special hatred of all things Catholic) who writes for Esquire.
Pierce objects to the funding of religious groups, saying it is unconstitutional "even if the Supreme Court's Papist majority" may think otherwise. He has much in common with nativists and the Ku Klux Klan—they routinely called Catholics "papists."
Pierce is angry that there are five Catholics on the Supreme Court. Yet proportionately there are more Jews: Jews are two percent of the population but make up a third of the high court, while Catholics are a quarter of the population and make up a little over half. No one but an anti-Semite objects to having three Jews on the Supreme Court, and no one but an anti-Catholic bigot is livid over having five Catholics.
It does not help the bigot's case for him to invoke James Madison's Memorial and Remonstrance as support for his position. If he were better read, he would know that Madison's statement was nothing more than an argument against the government's granting tax support for only one religion. Hence, Madison is on the side of the Trump administration.
Indeed, if the bigot knew something about the Founding he would know that the same Congress that passed the First Amendment accepted the third article of the Northwest Ordinance without emendation: "Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and happiness of mankind, schools and the means of learning shall forever be encouraged."
As Walter Berns said, "It is not easy to see how Congress…could promote religious and moral education under a Constitution that promoted 'the absolute separation of church and state' and forbade all forms of assistance to religion."
Kudos to the Trump administration for its policy of inclusion and its rejection of intolerance and discrimination.

That was quick. Paul Bettany is out of the running to play Prince Philip in Season 3 of Netflix's The Crown, Deadline has confirmed.
Deadline reported over the weekend that Bettany was in active negotiations for the role as a replacement for Matt Smith, who played the character in the first two seasons.
Discovery said today it will premiere its scripted anthology series Manhunt: Unabomber with a special two-hour episode Tuesday, August 1 at 9 PM. The series depicts the true story of the FBI's famed hunt for the Unabomber, the deadliest serial bomber in history.
EXCLUSIVE: Keisha Castle-Hughes is in negotiations for a role in Discovery Channel's upcoming FBI crime drama Manifesto.
EXCLUSIVE: Paul Bettany is set to star as Ted Kaczynski, also known as the "Unabomber," in the Discovery Channel's upcoming high-profile FBI crime-drama Manifesto.


Problem is here that Velocity and dynamics are only linked on Pianos, percussion and guitars.
Woodwind, string and brass control dynamics by breath pressure (ie the Expression controller in MIDI), and velocity controls attack.
Hi! Thanks for answering I don't think this is really the problem here. If I change manually the velocity of any note using the inspector (changing the Velocity property), the playback reflects that change, playing the note softer or louder, it does not matter what instrument is in use. When I put dynamics on the score all it does to playback is change the velocity from that point onward to it's Velocity property value.
I expected the hairpin to change the velocity gradually to reach a change equal to it's "Velocity change" property in the end and it's not happening.
WE have a very talented young man working on MIDI stuff in the development team atm. Hopefully we will see both of these implemented before too long.
Oh, it's great to know someone is working on that. Thanks!
I think this did work at one time - each successive note getting loud , but it seems not to any more. Hopefully we'll get it fixed before release.


With markets going up Chinanet Online Holdings Inc fell ($0.73) Tuesday, a 33.33% drop, closing at $1.46. Chinanet Online Holdings Inc swung 51.22% between high and low. Despite the drop in value, trading volumes were solid at 332.00% of normal which can indicate investor opportunities. Be aware that the Altman Z-Score1 (An indicator of the probability for a 2-year bankruptcy) is below the recommended threshold of 1.8%, and calculated to be -0.55.
CNET was outperformed by the rest of the Communication Services sector which went up 0.21%.
ChinaNet Online Holdings, Inc., through its subsidiaries, operates an integrated service platform that provides advertising and marketing services in the People's Republic of China. Its platform comprises CloundX, an omni-channel advertising and marketing system; and a data analysis management system. The company offers Internet advertising, precision marketing, and related data and value added services through its Internet advertising portals, including 28.com; and liansuo.com. It also produces and distributes television shows comprising advertisements. The company serves customers in the food and beverage, women accessories, footwear, apparel and garments, home goods and construction materials, environmental protection equipment, cosmetic and health care, education network, and other industries. ChinaNet Online Holdings, Inc. was founded in 2003 and is based in Beijing, the People's Republic of China.
(1) The Altman Z-Score calculation was first published in 1968 by Edward I. Altman, and is used for predicting the probability that a firm will go into bankruptcy within two years. An Altman Z-Score below 1.8 (Remember that Chinanet Online Holdings Inc's score is -0.55) is the trigger to be alert for this situation. Some analysts believe this score is less relevant for some companies, in particular companies operating to accumulate users that may run at huge losses to scale up.


On the 4th day of December I opened the door to the land of brunch heaven – Mercante; an authentic Italian restaurant that serves up a bottomless brunch on a Sunday, with eggs fluffier than Bagpuss and unlimited Prosecco. That's unlimited.
Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Mercante is an ideal place for bringing friends and family together – a gorgeously rustic Italian breakfast is served with a variety of cold cuts and cheeses, warm freshly baked bread, fruit, cereals and pastries… and on Sunday you can indulge in their bottomless brunch, hole up with the Sunday papers and never, EVER leave. (Ever).
The menu has been created by the very clever Head Chef – Davide D'ignazio, a young Italian talent who draws on his experience in some of the world's best restaurants to create dishes that celebrate his home country. He has brought together a range of dishes and flavours that represent the distinct regions and traditions of Italian cuisine… very very special stuff.
Mercante is the ideal spot for brunching and catching up with friends – the food is absolutely delicious, the sunlight pours in while you sip your Prosecco… and to be just over the road from Green Park in Mayfair, means the location couldn't be more ideal.
My bottomless brunch at Mercante made for the perfect start to my Sunday, leaving me full of beans (and eggs) for my Christmas frock shopping later that day over on Duke Street.
p.s. For the month of December, use the code 12DOORSOFMAYFAIR when booking your bottomless brunch in Mercante and enjoy a complimentary champagne upgrade!
Twelve Doors of Mayfair is written in partnership with the Sheraton Grand London Park Lane. All thoughts and opinions are my own.


Has anyone heard from OldBones-Larry?
BostonGirl I have been having a rough patch. Breathing is difficult with the season change. I still watch out over travelers on the route through NML though.
OldBones-Larry Thanks for the quick response. I am having a rough spell too so I can certainly relate. Just know that you are in our thoughts...look at BostonGirl, she is IN NML and she already knows about the Caravan Master!
Welcome back OldBones-Larry. I'm just 17 days quit. But I'm very familiar with your Caravan. I hope you get to feeling better.
Walk in front of the camels for awhile.
you might have been getting the "bad wind"
Thank you for continuing to watch over us, despite your current desert malaise. Perhaps some quinine is in order.
Hi Larry! I was just going to respond and say---he wished me a Happy Birthday WITH VIDEO on facebook on Tuesday!!!
Take care.....rest and be well.
I met him Saturday on my Quit date.

Q: 100% width in css is not working in lower screen resolution I am doing a project http://damiracle.com/clientdemos/site_ibfa/
where I am using the header panel width 100%.
    #header
{

    width:100%;
    height:829px;
    /*background:url(../images/head2.png) repeat-x;*/
    background:#000;
    /*overflow:hidden;*/
    margin-bottom:10px;

    }

Everything is working fine when it is big screen resolution but when it is a smaller screen resolution it is showing a white space in the right side. I have tried by all means.
I have writen a global css
html,body,div,dl,dt,dd,ul,ol,li,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,pre,code,form,fieldset,legend,input,textarea,p,blockquote,th,td {margin:0;padding:0; border:0;font-size:100%; font:inherit; vertical-align:baseline;}

but then also it is not working.
I shall be obliged if any one helps me to sort it out.
Thanks in advance to all of you

A: Add min-width:1200px; to your #header
#header {
    width:100%;
    height:829px;
    background:#000;
    margin-bottom:10px;
    min-width: 1200px;
}

P.S: you can use one background image for all blocks! optimize you site. For title in blocks use img with alt(it's good path for SEO and users with disabled images), like this:
<img src="/images/destination-egypt.png" alt="Destination Egypt"/>

or for more optimize use CSS-sprites.

A: Its because your #headerTOP has a width: 1200px .
So your #header just get the size 100% size of the screensize. But your #headerTOP will always be larger than that if the screenwidth is lower than 1200px.


I'd not encountered "ODDEE" before, so I'm not sure what this website is really about or where it's coming from. Still, they had an interesting short piece on famous and fascinating castles. There was also a reader-submitted list that is at least as good as the original piece.
The castles go from the most elaborate designs made without a serious purpose for defense, to the small, pragmatic fortified "Schloss" of a German raubritter.
Of particular interest is Marienburg, or "Mary's Castle," built by the Teutonic Order out of bricks instead of stone. The other one that caught my eye was the Hunyad Castle, where Vlad the Impaler was imprisoned. It is probably the most fearsome looking of the fortifications, having the look of a serious fighting position that was decorated entirely as an afterthought.
Remember, tonight of all nights, that God loves a good fight, as long as it's fought with a good heart.
Lieutenant James Adamson was awarded the Military Cross after killing two insurgents during close quarter combat in Helmand's notorious "Green Zone".
The 24-year-old officer, a member of the 5th battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland, revealed that he shouted "have some of this" before shooting dead a gunman who had just emerged from a maize field.
Seconds later and out of ammunition, the lieutenant leapt over a river bank and killed a second insurgent machine-gunner with a single thrust of his bayonet in the man's chest.
We talk about America and China competing for influence in Africa, but the Belmont Club points out that we thereby miss the real story.
The US is more deeply Christian than Europe, but a large percentage of its ruling class belongs to the "Imagine" religion instead.
Still, the real disadvantage here goes to China. China cannot market itself to Muslims in Africa as the competitor to America. To the degree that Africa is Christian, it will not look to China for leadership -- though there are millions of Chinese Christians, the state is in theory opposed to the faith. Muslims will not look to China for leadership either: worse than Christianity for Islam is polytheism (e.g., Chinese folk religion, certain variations of Buddhism) or the rejection of god (e.g, scientific atheism, other variations of Buddhism).
We may yet see the right in America build a unity on Christian grounds, and so adapt itself to the increasing percentage of Americans who are coming from the Catholicism of Latin America. If we do, America's leadership position within Africa -- and as a potential source of admiration for Chinese Christians -- will increase.
We looked at The Franklin's Tale and The Wife of Bath's Tale as well this week.
I wanted to include these because there was so much interest in Chaucer associated with our discussion about the descriptions of women in The Knight's Tale and The Miller's Tale. One of the things that you may not know about Chaucer unless you read the whole of The Canterbury Tales is that he chases the questions of men and women all the way around, trying to view them from every side. So, you have loyal wives and disloyal wives; you have devoted husbands and scoundrels; you have tales of courtly love, and ribald stories; you view it from the perspective of the Church, and from very earthy perspectives.
The Wife of Bath's Tale shows some signs of being among Chaucer's favorites. For one thing, he gives her an extraordinary prologue! It's as long as some of the tales by itself, and contains a remarkable number of well developed theological arguments. It also includes some ribald "advice" on how to chew up a husband who gives you trouble, although it advises also that you accord with one in peace once he stops trying to boss you around. That last bit of advice is the most important, and makes up the subject of the actual story.
The story is Arthurian, and treats the question of "What women want most." What it proves that they want most is sovereignty: in Chaucer's version of this story, over their men as well as themselves. This is not the only version of this story, however, and in many versions it is simply to be sovereign over themselves.
2. Let her rescue herself.
This surprised me. I was under the impression that the hero's role in romances was to rescue the heroine. But in all of these books the heroine has the most significant role in her own triumph over adversity.
Ah, well, that's the real trick, isn't it? The male figure in this story isn't the hero. He's the love interest. The damsel in distress is still the damsel; but the difference between a story written by a man and a story written by a woman is that in the women-written romances, the woman rescues herself.
What is the man for, then? He's the love interest. That's all, really; love is important enough that he doesn't need to do more than love and be loved.
The Wife of Bath's Tale puts the lady in the role of the rescuer, even of the knight. In learning to serve her and be guided by her, the knight -- it is usually Sir Gawain, in this tale, though Chaucer doesn't name him -- finds a lady love who is both beautiful to him and faithful, though at first he took her to be rather otherwise.
In The Franklin's Tale, we have a story with some resonance today: it is the story of a military wife whose husband is deployed, and who finds herself being pursued by a young squire who develops an ardent fascination with her. She is loyal to her husband and true, but finds herself responding to his flirtation with a playful promise she takes to be impossible. The squire arranges to have a wizard and illusionist make the impossible appear to come true, and then reminds the lady of her promise to give her love to him.
The lady's response is virtuous: she considers, but rejects, suicide, and instead confesses everything to her husband so they may think about the matter together. The knight who is her husband takes her honor to be as important as his own, and says that she must keep her word having given it. In spite of the sorrow and pain he feels, and the shame this will bring on him, he counsels her to be as bound by her word as he would be by his own.
Which was most generous, do you think, and how.
Pray tell me this before you farther wend.
I can no more, my tale is at an end."
It's a good question. Is the knight the most generous, to put his lady's honor at the level of his own? Is the lady the most generous, to have loved her husband so much as to trust him with her sorrow? Is the squire the most generous, to lay aside his claim on the lady in honor of the truth of her heart? Or is it the illusionist, who has a legitimate claim on the squire that the squire brought on himself by wickedness, but who lets it go when he sees the squire abandoning his evil?
Quite a story! The most memorable scene for me is the shipwreck, early in the tale, where Lee describes hanging from the mast and watching the swirling waters below. What was the part that sticks with you?
The question attending Lee's book is whether or not it is legitimate. It would be welcome, in a sense, to suppose that it wasn't: then we could dismiss the various cruelties, especially toward babies, as being simple legends. Indeed, one of the oddities is the cruelty toward babies; we see that with tales about the Comanches, but normally frontier stories suggest that the Indians kept captured children and raised them, even if they slaughtered adults or traded them as slaves.
Of this probably spurious classic work, Walter Prescott Webb stated that "there is no better description of the life of the Texas Rangers than that of Nelson Lee." The book has since been a source for several writers about Comanche culture. But in 1982 anthropologist Melburn D. Thurman called Lee's account of Comanche ceremonies "blatantly erroneous" and demonstrated that Ernest Wallace and E. Adamson Hoebel's discussion of the "Comanche" Green Corn Ceremony in The Comanches: Lords of the South Plains (1952) employed questionable data from Lee's book. Though noted Indian scholars have long identified the Comanches as a nonsedentary and therefore nonagricultural people, Lee narrated to his New York editors that Comanches planted corn, beans, and tobacco. Other wildly erroneous claims abound. Lee said that the Comanches wrote hieroglyphics on tree bark; built villages with central squares, streets, and houses of important men located on the squares; and resolved irreconcilable differences between two adversaries by lashing them together with a cord and requiring them to fight to the death. Accordingly, Thurman and other specialists of Plains Indians disputed Lee's captivity claims and, by extension, other claims he makes concerning his exploits.
I'm left admiring the quality of the tale, but I think we have to believe that some of the wilder stories were put in to make it salable.
Yet the Rangers have always liked this book, and still like it, as evidenced by the fact that it's posted on their website. What do you think?
There are quite a few more posts on the blog, with most of the text being in the Old Norse. It's a fairly plausible bit, actually: the dialogue is just what the sagas should contain.
