Home WinBuzzer News CCleaner Lands on the Windows Store, Ending Long-Running Microsoft Feud
CCleaner Lands on the Windows Store, Ending Long-Running Microsoft Feud
CCleaner is now available on the Microsoft Store for Windows 11 users despite Microsoft previously flagging the app as a PUA.
CCleaner is amongst the most popular PC cleanup utilities for the Windows platform. However, users may be surprised to see the app is now available in the Microsoft Store. That is because Microsoft has a long-standing issue with the Piriform-developed app.
According to Softpedia, CCleaner is now available in the Microsoft Store, although may not be for everyone just yet. So, what has brought this dramatic change where Microsoft and Piriform have buried the hatchet? Well, to get to that we must first look at the history.
In 2019 Microsoft blacklisted the CCleaner tool from its Support Forum network, censoring mentions of the registry cleaning program. Redmond's concern was seemingly justified a month later when Avast confirmed a critical flaw in CCleaner. By 2020, Microsoft Defender was classifying the tool as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA).
It is worth noting a PUA is not a dangerous app per se, or one that compromises security. It is any app that has been installed on a machine without permission. In an explanation at the time, Microsoft offered the following reason for blacklisting CCleaner:
"Bundling of software, especially products from other providers, can result in unexpected software activity that can negatively impact the user experiences. To protect Windows users, Microsoft Defender Antivirus detects CCleaner installers that exhibit this behavior as potentially unwanted applications (PUA)".
Microsoft Store Appearance
Users on Windows 11 can now download the tool directly on the Microsoft Store. No information has been given on why Microsoft is now greenlighting CCleaner. Is it possible the app has sneaked onto the Store?
Unlikely, so it seems Microsoft and Piriform have put their differences aside. It also seems that Piriform announced this was happening at the end of last year. While the source for the announcement is not available, the following quote has been circulated:
"Reviving older PCs and keeping brand-new Windows 11 devices healthy remains a top priority worldwide, especially during work-from-home times with people relying even more on their home PCs being fast and reliable," says David Peterson, General Manager of CCleaner. "Making CCleaner available for Windows 11 ensures people can keep their brand-new devices running at an optimal performance."
Tip of the day: Windows now has a package manager similar to Linux called "Winget". In our tutorial, we show you how to install and use this new tool that allows the quick installation of apps via PowerShell or a GUI.

Q: How to map postgresql enum to scala play model and enum? I could find this question asked in many places but none of the methods which were described seemed to work for me.
I am just starting to explore Play with Scala (2.4.2) and so I started a simple and functional CRUD application following this page. I created a Cat model and I want to add a status field in it with defined values (Awake, Sleeping, Dead). I created the postgresql enum easily with, added in an evolution :
CREATE TYPE cat_status AS ENUM ('awake', 'sleeping', 'dead');

Then, I tried to define an object extending Enumeration and as well, using trait like in the code found here, in my model file:
package models
import play.api.libs.json._

sealed trait CatStatus
case object Awake extends TaskStatus
case object Sleeping extends TaskStatus
case object Dead extends TaskStatus

implicit val catStatusTypeMapper = MappedColumnType.base[CatStatus, String](
      {
        case Awake => "awake"
        case Sleeping => "sleeping"
        case Dead => "dead"
      },{
        case "awake" => Awake
        case "sleeping" => Sleeping
        case "dead" => Dead
      }
    )

case class Cat(id: Long, name: String, age: Int, color: String, picture: String, race: String, status: CatStatus)

But when I run "activator compile" I get the following error:
[error] XXX/app/models/Cat.scala:10: expected start of definition
[error] implicit val catStatusTypeMapper = MappedColumnType.base[CatStatus, String](
[error]          ^

I tried moving the code within an object, like in here:
object myCatMapper{
implicit val catStatusTypeMapper = MappedColumnType.base[CatStatus, String](
      {
        case Awake => "awake"
        case Sleeping => "sleeping"
        case Dead => "dead"
      },{
        case "awake" => Awake
        case "sleeping" => Sleeping
        case "dead" => Dead
      }
    )
}

But then, I get this error message:
[error] XXX/app/models/Cat.scala:11: not found: value MappedColumnType
[error] implicit val catStatusTypeMapper = MappedColumnType.base[CatStatus, String](
[error]                                     ^

I tried to add "import scala.slick.driver.PostgresDriver.simple." and/or "import scala.slick.lifted." but "object slick is not a member of package scala".
I would appreciate any help with how to achieve this simple thing.
Thank you all.

Q: Howto search in PDFs using regular expressions? Usually I use Notepad++ to search in file(s) using regular expressions. Today I am wondering if there is a PDF program that does the same for PDFs. Of course I could convert the PDF to text and use Notepad++ but is there a more easy way without converting?

A: *

*Agent Ransack is free (lite) and supports PDF as its release notes confirm.

*PowerGREP is a commercial product.

Just as you said, the evident alternative is to convert PDFs to text. One way for a programmer to set that up for bulk processing is by using the Python package PDFMiner. Agent Ransack uses "pdftotext" from the Xpdf project (and you can too).

A: several options:

*

*Agent Ransack (top answer in Best way to *confidently* search files and contents in Windows without using an indexing service? )

*DnGrep which is a Free and Open source software. Unfortunately it is at the moment only available on Windows. (a feature request has been opened for other platforms here)

While you might not hear about them on CNN, the United States has its own musical ambassadors, who expose people in other countries to American music, and aim to make cultural connections. And one such ambassador is Grammy-nominated bluegrass-folk band Della Mae.
As a part of the U.S. State Department's American Music Abroad program, the group, formed in Boston and now based in Nashville, has played concerts in Pakistan, Kazakhstan and many other places around the world.
Although they sing in English, the members of Della Mae — who currently also include Kimber Ludiker (fiddle), Jenni Lyn Gardner (mandolin), Courtney Hartman (guitar and banjo) and Zoe Guigueno (bass) — can still get international crowds into the music. "I think [people] connect with the rhythm and the harmonies," she says, noting that listeners typically associate musical major keys with happiness and minor keys with being sad, no matter where they live.
Just as these women perform as diplomats for the U.S., others have served as unofficial ambassadors for them, trailblazing for equality in the musical world. Though Woodsmith still occasionally hears comments like "You play that well, for a girl," but, overall, she thinks that this mentality is fading away.


Another week comes to an end, and as tradition demands it we have updated our weekly releases Spotify playlist with this week's albums and tracks from many artists like Magnificence, Fox Stevenson, Lit Lords, Dave Winnel among many others.

Among them are tracks such as Malua "Caprice", Redax "Lose Control", Danny Eaton, "That Place" and finally the remix of Monkey Safari of "Turn It Around" from Yotto.
This week also saw the release of the collaboration between Gramatik & Adam Stehr "East River Soul", GTA & Valentino Khan "Break Your Neck PT.2 VIP", Gareth Emery & Ashley Wallbridge "Amber Sun" and Sub Sonik & Galaticxx "Runaway".

Working With AOC
Nick Hannon BA MSc PhD
Project Officer, Geophysics
Nick is a geophysical Project Officer with a wide range of experience across both academic archaeology and the commercial archaeology sector.
After graduating from the University of Leicester with a BA Hons in Archaeology, Nick trained with the University of Leicester Archaeological Services as an Assistant Archaeologist. Nick gained valuable experience through numerous evaluations, large excavations (notably Pineham, Northamptonshire) watching briefs and trial trenching project projects, alongside leading on large-scale LiDAR projects.
Nick followed this by completing a MSc in Archaeological Information Systems at the University of York where he specialised in the use of LiDAR data for investigating archaeological landscapes. Nick then worked for Historic England (formally English Heritage) in York, within the geospatial imaging team which specialised in the use of 3D technologies such as photogrammetry and terrestrial laser scanning to record heritage assets through projects such as the UAV photogrammetric survey of the Rievaulx abbey and the laser scanning of Richmond Castle.
Nick then completed a Historic Environment Scotland funded PhD at Canterbury Christ Church University which focused on the LiDAR data for the Antonine Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Scotland. This project led to the production of a number of high-profile reports focusing on the results within this data. During his studies at Canterbury he also taught undergraduate students both the use of GIS and remote sensing for archaeology, and fieldwork techniques at their annual field-school in conjunction with the Culver Archaeology Project, at Bridge Farm, West Sussex.
Whilst studying for his PhD Nick worked as the Archaeological Fieldwork Technician at the University of Bristol. Here Nick was responsible the management of the department's fieldwork activities including the University's undergraduate field-school at Berkeley Cast. Nick was also responsible for the teaching a range of archaeological survey techniques and the use of GIS.
Following the successful completion of his PhD Nick returned to commercial archaeology as a Geophysical Project Supervisor with Headland Archaeology where he was responsible for undertaking fieldwork and the production of reports text and report graphics in both CAD and GIS environments on a number of large-scale project such as the Lower Thames Crossing Project.
Nick joined AOC Archaeology in 2019 as a Project Officer. Nick is now responsible for supervising projects through their data collection and reporting phases and specialises in the use of GIS to produce high-quality imagery to support. Nick has gained further experience of supervising complex, large-scale geophysics projects with AOC such as the A96 Dualling Programme.

Q: Any suggestions for multiple out.setText(); In my Java project with WindowBuilder Pro. I use methods to return a values then out.setText(value_1); but when I try to out.setText(value_2); a value_1 has been removed.
My solution is to String show = out.setText(value_1).concat(value_2) and then out.setText(show);. Does anyone have another suggestions/solutions of this problem?
Thanks.

A: Its pretty simple. Try this :
out.setText(out.getText()+value_2);

That's it.

A: You could consider using a JTextArea instead of a JTextField. A text area is a multi-line text field and has an append(String text) method.

Diego Schwartzman explains how much playing for Argentina means to him
Top-ranked Argentine tennis player Diego Schwartzman is extremely excited about starting his season at the ATP Cup.
"It's very nice to start the year playing the ATP Cup. It's a team tournament, playing for Argentina," Schwartzman said, per the ATP Cup website. "I think everyone here who is [on] the team wants to be here and play for Argentina. Under the flag, everything is different."
Schwartzman, 29, is set to make his third consecutive appearace at the ATP Cup as he represented Argentina in each of the first two tournament editions.
"I really like Sydney. I [played] very good matches here. Obviously [the] ATP Cup, it's very tough, because every year the best teams in the world qualify," Schwartzman said. "It's going to be tough, [a] good challenge, and I think it's the best preparation for everyone who plays before [the] Australian Open."
Schwartzman speaks on the team atmosphere
"We enjoy a lot when we can share moments, playing as a team, it's totally different than all the year," Schwartzman said. "So every moment obviously is totally different for us, playing as a team, staying in the matches every time no matter if you lose or if you win, because you have to stay.
"It's a team match, so every moment it's different and we are trying always to enjoy and be ready for the team no matter if you lose or if you win."
Meanwhile, world No. 44 Federico Delbonis is very excited about making his ATP Cup debut.
"I am very excited to be here of course. In the past few years I skipped a couple of Davis Cup [ties]. I didn't have the opportunity to play here, and always enjoy playing [on] a team," Delbonis said. "And now to do it again for me is a big, big challenge and I want to do it the best as possible to try to help the team."

Giants vs. Cubs: Geovany Soto Homer in 13th Drops Giants 5-2
By Ernie Pomin Jun 30, 2011, 3:32pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: Giants vs. Cubs: Geovany Soto Homer in 13th Drops Giants 5-2
As if there wasn't enough baseball played at Wrigley Field over the past three days the San Francisco Giants and Chicago Cubs took Thursday's game to the 13th inning, after the Giants had the lead and the Cubbies down to their last strike not once, but twice. And it was Geovany Soto's three run homer that eventually sealed the G-Men's fate, falling by a score of 5-2.
The Giants had a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the ninth thanks to an RBI single from Miguel Tejada in the second. Yesterday's hero Aramis Ramirez stole the show once again as he homered off of Brian Wilson with two strikes and two outs, tying the game and ensuring the third blown save for Wilson this season. The Giants offense went 10 1/3 innings without getting a hit until Pablo Sandoval launched his first home run since returning from the DL, only to watch Ramon Ramirez (L 2-1) give it away in the 13th with an RBI single from Darwin Barney and the aforementioned Soto home run. It marks the second walk-off loss to the Cubs for San Francisco in as many days, and a series tie with Chicago during the four game set. John Grabow earned his first win of the year for the Cubbies.
Matt Cain pitched well to begin the game, tossing seven full innings of scoreless ball with only four hits, one walk, and six strikeouts. Cain notched his 1,000th career strikeout against Koyie Hill in the fifth, joining Tim Lincecum, Jason Schmidt, Gaylord Perry and Juan Marichal as the only San Francisco Giants to reach this epic milestone.
It'd be easy to point the finger of blame at Wilson or Ramirez, but the Giants made some critical errors as a team, like leaving the bases loaded in the 12th. It was a team loss that will certainly sting as it was a game the Giants should have won on two separate occasions this afternoon.
With the loss the Giants move to 46-36 on the year, they are 7-5 in extra inning games for the season.Full box score can be found here.
The Giants will now head to Detroit to take on the Tigers in another interleague matchup, with Madison Bumgarner (4-9 3.84 ERA) set to take on ex-Giant Brad Penny (5-6 4.66 ERA) at Comerica Park. First pitch is set for 4:05 p.m. PT with coverage on CSN Bay Area and KNBR 680 AM.

The book "Green Values, Religion and Secularism" was published by the Green European Foundation, with the support of our partners Bureau De Helling and Green Foundation Ireland. Along with the publication, a series of book launch events is planned throughout this year, which will promote it and serve as a space for the debate within the Greens towards a more coherent stance on the changing role of religion in European society.
The book features conversations with Green European politicians and activists on the issues around religion and how it intersects with public and political life. Six Green Foundations across Europe participated in these conversations, along with the Green activists and politicians from France, Turkey, Poland, Ireland, Greece, Belgium, the UK and the Netherlands.
The book illustrates how the relationship between religion and modern society has shifted in the last decades. The Green politicians from different European contexts reflect on the way their own religious or secular values influence their political attitude; the role of religion in the public forum; conflicts between fundamental rights, such as the freedom of religion and the principle of sexual and gender equality; the role of Islam in Europe and the question whether religion is a source of inspiration or an obstacle for Green politics. Furthermore, this publication depicts how the debate about values, religious or secular, cannot be escaped within a Europe haunted by many different crises at the same time.
The book was edited by Erica Meijers (Bureau De Helling) and Nuala Ahern (Green Foundation Ireland).

Benoit Monange, Director of the French foundation Fondation de l'Écologie Politique and co-author of the book 'Green Values, Religion and Secularism', on why he is proud of this book and how it contributes to showing a path to mutual respect of every belief and community. In a non-dogmatic way, 'Green Values, Religion and Secularism' invites people to listen to life stories, to beliefs and to different ways of life.
The co-editor of the book 'Green Values, Religion and Secularism' and editor-in-chief of the Dutch 'Tijdschrift de Helling', Erica Meijers, talks about her understanding of Religion in Europe as well as how Greens should interact with religious identity. Religious beliefs in Europe are diverse and it is important for Greens to continuously strive to allow space for everyone in a pluralistic and democratic society.
We asked the speakers of our seminar on 'Green Values, Religion and Secularism' in Athens about their perception of religion and the relation of church and state in Greece.

The Eurostar practice community has train stations in the major vacationer destinations. Some points of your holiday should be deliberate, for example flights, and accommodation within the extra widespread tourist locations.
Correct planning by online tour planners, tour guides for Europe and so forth precede the making of the bundle for the travellers which thereby swimsuit their needs well. For those who consult a tour information earlier than going to Europe, you can save upon loads of hassle that you could be in any other case encounter whereas touring.
The first thing you will have to bear in mind is, what time of the year you need to go because many of the countries are cold throughout winter and most of the people desire anytime between March and September. As far as I used to be concerned then, a Europe trip entailed a fortnight in Spain, Italy, France, Portugal etc, and many others.
Out of those Europe travel packages, the vacationers can simply choose one and revel in the perfect trip in accordance with their curiosity. Starting from Paris, next to the worldwide well-known Eiffel Tower that so many vacationers come to see from in all places, you'll be able to stroll up alongside Champs Elysees, thought of one of the romantic avenues on the earth.
The vacationers could make their desire as to what they're inquisitive about and can plan a visit to the destinations that are most favoured. I would definitely suggest attempting to remain a minimal of 3 days in any massive European cities.
The most effective choices to enjoy the magic of Christmas season is to make a go to to Christmas markets the place you may feel the normal really feel and aura. In 4 or five weeks you may soak up the fantastic thing about the continent, with all of continental Europe accessible to you – the rail hyperlink between France and Great Britain means that a visit to England is completely possible as a part of your rail journey.
Here is a comprehensive guide about Italy, with details about the most-visited locations within the country, its cuisine, historical past, traditions, culture, and far more. Speaking about luxury and comfort, Europe has a variety of probably the most developed nations on the earth which provide vacationers with one of the best residing conditions in addition to nice pastimes.
Geographically, Europe can definitely appear a great distance from home, particularly when you reside within the Oceanic area as I do. People have a considerably higher alternative to go to Europe than we do because of the relative proximity of continental Europe, but, we hear the expression "the world is getting smaller" and it's actually true as far as more diversified alternatives with air travel turn into available. Located in Central Europe, unified Germany is bordered on the north by the North Sea, Denmark, and the Baltic Sea; on the east by Poland and the Czech Republic; on the south by Austria and Switzerland; and on the west by France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and Netherlands.
Different people would have much more exotic designs on European vacations. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is located within the city of Pisa, roughly 1 hour from Florence by practice and involving a journey through the countryside of Tuscany. These areas even have rain all through the years and maximum rain falls in summer however the skies are a lot clearer than those of the British kind and Germany is legendary for its warm and exquisite sunny days in summer season.

Live Video: Senate Impeachment Trial
Biden's Psychological Burden
by Court Anderson May 16, 2019 May 17, 2019 11888

The leading Democrat candidate for 2020, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., will not be the party's nominee, despite steadily growing support. When politics, business, and family come together, Biden's moral vision blurs. It will be his downfall.
His is a long and traumatic journey. Biden rose quickly in national politics, a Catholic in the Kennedy mold, square-jawed and full of ambition, but with the common touch. His story, slowly uncovered over years of accomplishment, loss, and pain is a classic tragedy, and in keeping, it is ultimately a criminal tale as well. One can't help but feel pity for the aging and sentimental Biden, who first lost his wife and one year-old daughter in a 1972 car crash while Christmas shopping, and then his son Beau, his firstborn and political heir apparent, to brain cancer in May of 2015.
These are horrific events no parent should have to endure. Biden was a single father to his two boys for years after the car crash, all while he was a new senator. As Biden states in his biography, Promises To Keep (and sounding disturbingly like Liam Neeson in his recent controversial confession), "I liked to [walk around seedy neighborhoods] at night when I thought there was a better chance of finding a fight…I had not known I was capable of such rage…I felt God had played a horrible trick on me."
The psychological effect of these and other events, combined with professional disappointments over the decades, may well have catalyzed the ruinous decisions Biden has made in recent years.
Grief And Poor Judgment: Father Doesn't Know Best
The surviving son, Hunter Biden, suffered the same loss of his mother and baby sister as a young boy. Hunter sustained a fractured skull in the accident (a tractor trailer hit the family car, the driver was found not at fault). Hunter went on to name one of his daughters Naomi, after his lost baby sister. When Beau died, in a case of Shakespeare-meets-Jerry-Springer, Hunter took up with Beau's widow Hallie while separated from his own wife, Kathleen. For two years Hunter and Hallie lived together, though they announced a split two weeks ago, perhaps unwilling or unable to weather the gathering storm of scrutiny surrounding Joe's nascent campaign.
Hunter is the linchpin, the common cause of Joe's recent blunders. On paper, Hunter appears to be both a success and the family's black sheep. Closer scrutiny reveals that the scales tip heavily to the latter. One can forgive a father for looking past the failings of his son when so much was lost early in the boy's life, especially when their pain is intimately shared. Familial forgiveness is one thing, but Joe's notion of forgiving involved political favors and taxpayer funds, crimes too obvious to ignore, and then there's the matter of Hallie. Sentimentality and favoritism exacerbated by old age is not an acceptable confluence of traits in the potential leader of the free world.
The first misstep was in 2013. In a steroidal case of Take-Your-Kid-To-Work-Day, Hunter flew with his father to China on Air Force Two. Within days, as Peter Schweizer points out in his book Secret Empires, Hunter's investment firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners, landed a $1.5 billion deal with the Chinese government. It's one thing to help get your son's career on track, it's another entirely to use the loftiest political influence in the world, taxpayer funds, and unknown deals to land him a ten-figure deal with a geopolitical nemesis.
It should be noted that Rosemont Seneca's other partners are John Kerry's children, and that the firm appears to be a well-fixed landing pad for the troubled youths of both families.

In 2013, Hunter tested positive for cocaine and was discharged from the Naval Reserve. He had been commissioned into the Navy despite having no prior military experience, a spotty criminal record, and being past the cutoff age (he was 43 at the time). How does one receive such special dispensation, apart from being the son of a sitting VPOTUS?
It's worth noting that a certain family friend, father to Hunter's business partners, has no small degree of influence in the Navy, as he was a highly decorated Lieutenant and Commander of several Swift Boats in Vietnam. That man, of course, is John Kerry, who got his start in the armed forces by enlisting in…the Naval Reserve.
The program Hunter completed is a farce writ small. He had six classmates. From his own Wikipedia page: "In May 2013, Biden was selected as a direct commission officer in the U.S. Naval Reserve, a program that allows civilians with no prior service to receive a limited duty officer's commission after attending a two-week class covering topics such as military history, etiquette, and drill and ceremony, in lieu of boot camp. Because Biden was past the cut-off age for the program, he needed a waiver. Biden received a second waiver because of past drug use and drug related arrests.[9][10][11][12] One month after commissioning, Biden tested positive for cocaine use and was discharged from the Navy reserve in February 2014. It is not clear whether his discharge was "general" or "other than honorable"."
A two-week course on history and etiquette = a lifetime of saying "I served with pride." Heck of a deal. Of course, what is easily granted is easily squandered. Military service was meant to bolster Hunter's resumé, perhaps setting the table for a political run to rival that of his brother Beau. Again, one feels the guiding hand of the father at work here, pushing Hunter to pursue yet another aspect of a ready-made future.
After Hunter's predictable washout, Biden demonstrated poor judgment yet again, both as a father and a statesman: almost immediately, the son's discharge led to a job for a gas company oligarch in the Ukraine for $2.6 million a year. Biden was helping the company, Burisma, avoid legal action. As Rand Paul heatedly pointed out to a flustered George Stephanopoulos on Monday, taxpayers deserve to know about these backroom dealings. In a spluttering smoke bomb of an article for the Washington Post, Oliver Bullough lamely avoids mentioning Hunter's salary and makes an obfuscatory argument that the real story here is the sacking of an inept Ukranian attorney general.
Back to the psychological: everyone, even Bullough, admits giving Hunter the job was a mistake. But why was it done? Through the Biden lens, cracked by tragedy and covered with the fingerprints of good intention, Hunter's job appears to have been arranged as either a participation trophy from his doting dad, or as a financial life preserver.
The trophy theory fits if we see Joe as the ameliorative father who desperately wants all his children to be happy. Daughter Ashley, from Biden's second marriage, also had some bad drug-related press, but eventually married and is now a fashion designer and social worker. As Hunter's mishaps piled up, his brother Beau–Joseph Robinette "Beau" Biden III–was building an enviable career. Attorney General of Delaware by age 37, he also rose to the rank of Major in the Delaware National Guard as a Judge Advocate General. At the time of his death, Beau was considered the frontrunner for Governor of Delaware. Everyone was fine except Hunter. How to help the emotionally scarred boy Joe had raised?
The financial life preserver theory is equally feasible. Hunter has regularly struggled with financial responsibility, according to his ex-wife Kathleen Biden during their divorce proceedings. She accused him of spending the family's money on cocaine (checks out so far) and prostitutes. Divorce proceedings are often rocky, but it is worth noting that the case was settled quickly, and Hunter's lawyers did not publicly dispute Kathleen's accusations.
Lastly, Biden allows, even endorses Hunter's affair with Hallie a scant five months after Beau's death: "We are all lucky that Hunter and Hallie found each other as they were putting their lives together again after such sadness," he said in a statement. "They have mine and Jill's full and complete support and we are happy for them." It is astounding that Biden would permit his unstable, scandal-ridden son to abandon his own nuclear family and take up with his dead son's widow.
The press held back in a rare show of deference, but neither the act nor the endorsement are the actions of mentally sound people. Might Hunter and Kathleen (or Joe and Jill) have invited Hallie to live with them, or visited often, attended group therapy sessions with her, planned group trips with Hallie's two children and Hunter's three? There are many ways to heal after great loss, but divorcing your wife to comfort an aggrieved sister-in-law is morally, not to mention politically, wrong. It is another of Hunter's social-emotional miscalculations, but it is Joe's public paternal failure.
Flashbacks And Ghosts
This is not Biden's first crack at the presidency. It is his third.
In 2008, he ran but never got out of single digits in the polls, quickly withdrew, then danced around the idea of the vice presidency before signing onto the Obama ticket.
His first bid, in the 1988 race more than 30 years ago, failed despite Biden raising more money than either Dick Gephardt or the eventual nominee, Michael Dukakis. He was embarrassed by accusations of plagiarism from a campaign trail speech, and after bowing out, had two operations to treat brain aneurysms. As with many of the tragedies in the Biden family, either accidental or self-inflicted, it was spun into a positive: if he hadn't dropped out of the race, he wouldn't have detected the first aneurysm, and without treatment, Biden might have died on the campaign trail. Losing saved his life.
Add that psychologically warping memory to the bonfire of hurt pride, familial tragedy, and dashed hopes of dynasty, then cut to election night, November 2016 and consider this: if Hillary had won, Biden would have been reasonably assured that the China scandal would remain a secret, and the Ukraine scandal would have faded from memory. So much Democrat skullduggery would have gone uninvestigated, from wiretapping Trump to the Steele dossier. In the grand scheme, what were a few favors among family? A lifetime politician like Biden never would have gambled so much to help out his less successful son if he thought there was a significant chance he'd be caught. That subterfuge began to unravel when Trump won.
All the Hunter controversy arrows point to one of two conclusions :
Joe was never going to run in the 2016 primary. He figured China would surface if he did, that the Ukraine deal would get dredged up, and he would have to relive Anita Hill, the inappropriate touching, his failed 1988 bid–all of it. With his old ally Hillary about to take the White House and provide cover, Biden tried twice to make his second son wealthy, and go out a winner of sorts. Beau's death was an awful confirmation that he had made the correct call.
Joe was going to run in 2016, but fighting through the mess of factors listed above, let alone hellbent Hillary, was too much to bear even before Beau's death.
One imagines it was the latter, and Biden was simply overcome with grief, too sad and angry to fight Hillary and all his ghosts. After all, Beau was a superstar. Charismatic, but without his father's wandering hands, his penchant for schmaltz, or foot-in-mouth disease. Beau had the honest, earned pedigree that Hunter had tried to ape through backdoor Naval admissions trickery. Beau had the seemingly solid marriage, and the Governor's mansion within reach.
To have an heir with the chops and mettle to almost certainly vie for the presidential nomination himself someday, what an ace up the sleeve. The weight of presidential expectation lifted from Joe's tired shoulders: the Bidens will have another shot, someday. And then to lose him, again to suffer the loss of a child, the loss of lasting legacy, and be forced to recall his own brain disease which thwarted his aspirations the first time. It's haunting.
…And In This Corner, The Scranton Kid!
"Rocky Balboa," not Joe Biden. Philadelphia, PA. Image: Zakarie Faibis
"If we were in high school, I'd take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him…I've been in a lot of locker rooms my whole life. I'm a pretty damn good athlete." —Joe Biden on the campaign trail, re: President Trump
The retired fighter has been called upon to lace 'em up one last time. Was it Joe's idea this time, or Barack's? Likely both. Obama wants someone to salvage his legacy, and Biden is the only one who can defend the decisions he's made in the name of family. Watch as he chases the campaign donation chicken, as he drinks the raw eggs of press conference questions, as he faces new opponents: Socialist Caucus, Identity Politics, Sonny Scandals, and his old nemesis, Painful Past.
Just today, Biden announced that Philadelphia will be his campaign headquarters, for like Rocky Balboa, Joe Biden is from Pennsylvania. But the similarities end there. Rocky is a champion who overcomes tremendous odds. Joe is a perennial almost-President who has suffered tragic setbacks.
Rocky is fictional. Joe is all too human.

perfect opinion of biden.. he may run and lose again


US President Barack Obama and Vietnam's Party chief discussed concerns over China's activities in the East Sea (aka South China Sea) during a historic White House meeting on Tuesday marking two decades of engagement between the former foes.
Nguyen Phu Trong met with Obama in the Oval Office, where they had "candid" discussions over differences about human rights and religious freedom as well a pending Pacific trade agreement with the region, Obama said.
Trong, one of the most powerful figures in Vietnam, invited Obama to visit his country and said he was grateful that the president had graciously accepted. Obama said he looked forward to going to Vietnam, but no date was announced.
The Vietnamese leader's trip follows a year-long charm offensive by the United States after a dispute over sovereignty erupted between Vietnam and China in May 2014.
Washington took advantage of the row, ramping up diplomacy with Hanoi after China parked an oil rig unannounced in waters that Vietnam considers its domain.
Obama said the US-Vietnam relationship was based on mutual respect and said in the last two years alone "significant progress" had been made in cooperation on education, climate change, public health and security.
In a nod to Vietnam's concern about China, Obama said the East Sea dispute needed to be resolved using international rules.
The goal was to "ensure that the prosperity and freedom of navigation that has underwritten the enormous economic growth that's taken place in the region continues for decades to come," Obama said.
Trong, without naming China specifically, said he had shared Vietnam's concern about the East China Sea and "the recent activities that are not in accordance with international law that may complicate the situation."
China has laid stake to nearly all of the South China Sea, while Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei claim overlapping parts of it.
Both men noted that the United States and Vietnam had made strides in their relationship.
"There continue to be significant differences in political philosophy and political systems between our two countries," Obama said, adding diplomacy would help overcome disagreements.
Trong said 20 years ago few would have imagined a substantive meeting between the countries' leaders.
"We have been transformed from former enemies to become friends, partners, comprehensive partners. And I'm convinced that our relationship will continue to grow in the future," he said through an interpreter.

Q: @PostConstruct & Checked exceptions In the @PostConstruct doc it says about the annotated methods:
"The method MUST NOT throw a checked exception."
How would one deal with e.g. an IOException which can be thrown in such a method? Just wrap it in a RuntimeException and let the user worry about the faulty initial state of the object?
Or is @PostConstruct the wrong place to validate and initialize objects which got their dependencies injected?

A: Yes, wrap it in a runtime exception. Preferebly something more concrete like IllegalStateException.
Note that if the init method fails, normally the application won't start.

A: Generally, if you want or expect application start-up failure when one of your beans throws an exception you can use Lombok's @SneakyThrows.
It is incredibly useful and succinct when used correctly:
@SneakyThrows
@PostConstruct
public void init() {
    // I usually throw a checked exception
}

There's a recent write-up discussing its pros and cons here: Prefer Lombok's @SneakyThrows to rethrowing checked exceptions as RuntimeExceptions
Enjoy!

A: Use a softened exception like so, in effect wrapping in RuntimeException:
private static RuntimeException softenException(Exception e) {
    return new RuntimeException("Softened exception.", e);
}

Then usage is like:
} catch (IOException e) {
        throw softenException(e);
}

With drought conditions persisting and too little precipitation forecast for the foreseeable future, Connecticut Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Raul Pino today signed an order declaring a temporary 30-day public water supply emergency for four Fairfield County towns served by Aquarion Water Company (AWC): Greenwich, Stamford, Darien and New Canaan.
Aquarion's water issues are also affecting several towns in nearby Westchester County, N.Y., who are also served by AWC: Rye, Ryebrook and Port Chester.
DPH is working closely with the New York State Health Department and the Westchester County Health Department to ensure an adequate water supply for all seven towns.
The rarely used declaration was requested by AWC to allow the company to divert water from other sources of supply to the four Connecticut towns which are facing a substantial depletion of their public water supply as a result of ongoing drought conditions.
DPH, in consultation with the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) and the Public Utility Regulatory Authority (PURA), determined that the declaration was necessary to prevent further depletion of the water supply. To view the Commissioner's Declaration and Order, please click here.
— an announcement from the Connecticut Department of Public Health
"This is not a step that the Department of Public Health takes lightly or frequently, but it is clear that despite water conservation efforts taken by Aquarion and its customers, diversion of water from other areas in Aquarion's water supply in addition to continued mandatory water conservation measures is necessary to avert a much larger water crisis in these towns," said Commissioner Pino.
"Ensuring an adequate supply of safe drinking water remains our number one priority for protecting public health, and we will be monitoring the Aquarion situation very closely through a series of mandatory weekly reports and enhanced water quality testing by Aquarion."
— Tips on How to Save Water (Sept. 29)
"While this declaration deals specifically with these four towns and neighboring towns in New York, the entire state remains in a drought advisory, and I encourage all Connecticut residents to conserve water during this prolonged period of dry weather," added Commissioner Pino.
The DPH order places several conditions that AWC must meet for the duration of the public water supply emergency.
Those conditions include:
prohibiting AWC adding new customers without prior approval by DPH;
continuing mandatory outdoor watering bans for the CT and NY towns;
requiring AWC to provide weekly public notifications on water supplies for the affected towns;
requiring AWC to perform a water audit of its top 20 largest water users in the affected towns and assist users identifying ways to reduce usage; and
providing several weekly reports to DPH, the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) and local health departments on water supply measurements, effectiveness of conservation practices, communications with town and local health officials in both the Connecticut and New York-affected towns, results of water quality monitoring, and information on daily water diversion totals.
The order will remain in effect for 30 days, but AWC can apply for additional 30 day extensions, up to a maximum of 150 days.
Excerpt from an Aquarion Water Co. Announcement
Aquarion Water Company issued a news release about the Department of Public Health ruling on Thursday. Here's an excerpt:
This DPH ruling will allow Aquarion the flexibility to transfer water between systems which will provide immediate short-term help.
In early July, Aquarion issued an advisory requesting customers voluntarily reduce water consumption. With the situation worsening because of a continuing lack of significant rainfall, on September 16 Aquarion declared a mandatory outdoor watering ban in Greenwich, Stamford, Darien and New Canaan.
This ban covered irrigation systems, sprinklers, soaker hoses and hand held hoses. Aquarion has been promoting the immediate need for conservation, by calling and visiting customers, as well as using newspaper ads and direct mail, to make customers aware of this emergency situation. This has resulted in a lessening of daily demand.
Aquarion Water Company President and CEO, Charles V. Firlotte, said, "Without reducing demand and absent significant precipitation, the water supply situation in Greenwich, Stamford, New Canaan and Darien will not meet the needs of that region. The DPH declaration of an emergency is greatly needed."

MONSTROUS motorcycles of India's rich & famous; From Salman Khan's Suzuki Intruder to John Abraham's Yamaha V-Max
Posted on June 16, 2018 by Shantonil Nag
Most of the Indian celebrities are all about luxury cars and SUVs. However, there are many celebrities who love their adventure on two wheels and they do like it big time! Here are some monstrous bikes used by Indian celebrities!
Yamaha V-Max
John Abraham is an avid automotive enthusiast. The model turned actor owns a pretty wide range of performance cars and bikes. John also owns a Yamaha V-Max, the ultimate sports cruiser, and it came to India long before the Ducati Diavel. However, Yamaha does not officially sell the bike in India anymore. The huge looking V-Max is powered by a 1.7-litre V4 engine that generates a magnanimous 174 Bhp and 153 Nm. The V-Max looks brutal and matches the muscles of John.
Salman Khan owns quite a few motorcycles and has been spotted riding them out quite often. One of them is the Suzuki Intruder M1800. The popular actor is also the brand ambassador of the Suzuki India and owns a Hayabusa too. The Intruder is a cruiser bike which is powered by a massive 1.8-litre V-Twin engine. It generates a maximum power of 127 Bhp and peak torque of 160 Nm.
Indian Roadmaster
Madhavan has remained a true bike enthusiast for a long time. He is a diehard biker who owns a few expensive cruisers. One of the latest bikes taking up space in his garage is the Indian Roadmaster. It is the most expensive bike from the American manufacturer and is priced at almost half a crore. The bike is powered by a 1,811cc V-Twin engine that produces a maximum of 150 Nm at a low of 2,900 rpm.
BMW K1600 GTL
Madhavan also owns the monstrous BMW touring bike K1600 GTL. He was regularly spotted on the K1600 GTL before the arrival of the Indian Roadmaster. The bike is powered by a 1649 cc engine that produces 158 Bhp and 175 Nm. The bike has the most compact 6 cylinder engine that is found on any bike. This is more of a touring bike than a sports bike and gets extremely comfortable seats.
Indian cricket icon, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, has an expensive garage that includes a few imported SUVs and bikes. The Kawasaki ZX14-R is one of the many exotic bikes that he owns. The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R was the flagship bike of the Japanese maker for a long time and had speed record battles with arch-rival Suzuki Hayabusa. Dhoni owns a black Ninja ZX-14R, which is powered by a 1.4-litre petrol engine that generates a maximum of 197 Bhp and 162.5 Nm. Dhoni also owns the Kawasaki Ninja H2 but he has not been spotted on it yet!
Dulquer, like his father – superstar Mammootty – is a car and bike enthusiast. He has a great taste when it comes to both of them and owns a few exotic set of wheels including Porsches and Ferraris. He bought an R1200 GS adventure tourer, which is powered by a 1,170 cc twin cylinder engine that makes 124 Bhp and 125 Nm. The bike is extremely big in size and can make any average Indian bike look puny!
Sanjay Dutt has been a bike guy for a while and owns exotics like Rolls Royces and Ferraris. When Sanjay Dutt played a minor role in Shah Rukh Khan starring – Ra.One film, he refused to take money for the same. SRK instead decided to gift him a bike he was eyeing. SRK gifted him the Multistrada 1200. It is powered by a 1,200 cc V-Twin engine that makes 157.8 Bhp and 136 Nm. The advantage of the Multistrada is the fact that it can be taken off-road as well.
BMW K1300 S
Ajith has an extremely versatile garage and his motorcycle collection covers almost all the segments. From Aprilia Caponord to BMW S1000RR, Ajith has all of them in his garage. One of the monster bikes that he takes out regularly is the BMW K1300 S. The bike is a sport touring bike and is extremely comfortable for long rides. It is powered by a 1.3-litre 4-cylinder four-stroke petrol engine that generates a maximum of 170 Bhp and 140 Nm. Ajith has done quite a few tours on the K1300 S including one from Pune to Chennai!
Rohit Roy
Honda Rune is a less known bike in India and only a few hardcore enthusiasts like Rohit Roy have them. Only 600 units of the limited edition cruiser bike were made ever and it was priced at around Rs. 24 lakhs by the company. The bike is powered by a 1,832cc boxer type six-cylinder engine that produces a maximum of 118 Bhp and 167 Nm of peak torque.
Harley Davidson Street Glide Special
Urvashi Rautela is a former Miss India Universe and has started to become popular in the Bollywood. Urvashi is one of the few female celebs who ride a Harley-Davidson. She owns a touring spec Street Glide Special that gets an FM radio, waterproof speakers and a seat as comfortable as a sofa!

Five Prime Announces Third Quarter ...
Argos Announces Receipt of Milestone ...
Five Prime Announces Third Quarter 2017 Results and Provides Business Update
by NASDAQ Market News November 6, 2017
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Nov. 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Five Prime Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:FPRX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing innovative immuno-oncology protein therapeutics, today provided a corporate update and reported financial results for the quarter ending September 30, 2017.
"This is an exciting time at Five Prime, as many of our programs are reaching important inflection points," said Lewis T. "Rusty" Williams, M.D., Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Five Prime. "Importantly, later this week at the SITC annual meeting, we and BMS plan to report our first clinical data from the Phase 1a/1b immuno-oncology trial studying cabiralizumab with OPDIVO®. The oral late-breaking presentation will highlight preliminary safety, PK and PD data, and initial efficacy from one of the expansion cohorts. We expect all of the cohorts in the trial to be fully enrolled before the end of 2017. Furthermore, we anticipate starting a Phase 1/3 chemotherapy combination trial with FPA144 before year end. The Phase 1 component will serve as a lead-in to our planned global registrational trial of FPA144 as a front-line therapy in patients with metastatic gastric cancer whose tumors overexpress FGFR2b. Additionally, we are on track to file an IND for FPA150, our anti-B7-H4 antibody during the fourth quarter, which would position us to initiate a Phase 1 trial early in 2018.
With the start of 2018, we also look forward to welcoming Aron Knickerbocker as the new president and CEO of Five Prime."
Business Highlights and Recent Developments
Clinical Pipeline:
Cabiralizumab (FPA008): an antibody that inhibits CSF1R and has been shown to block the activation and survival of monocytes and macrophages.
– Advanced the ongoing Phase 1a/1b trial of cabiralizumab/OPDIVO® in immuno-oncology.
– Five Prime and Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS), are evaluating the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of the immunotherapy combination of cabiralizumab with the PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor OPDIVO® (nivolumab) in advanced solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma and ovarian cancer.
– Five Prime has completed enrollment in some of the Phase 1b cohorts and expects the remaining cohorts to enroll fully during the fourth quarter of 2017.
– Data on preliminary safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data as well as initial efficacy from one of the expansion cohorts that enrolled quickly are scheduled to be presented in a late-breaking oral presentation at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) meeting on Saturday, November 11, 2017.
– Advanced the ongoing Phase 1/2 trial of cabiralizumab in patients with PVNS.
– Five Prime reported initial trial data at ASCO in June 2017, showing that cabiralizumab demonstrated clinical benefit in patients with PVNS. The company is preparing to enroll additional patients in the Phase 2 portion of the trial to refine the dosing schedule to optimize the therapeutic index of cabiralizumab in this chronic disease setting. These additional data are intended to support a pivotal trial for cabiralizumab in PVNS.
FPA144: an isoform-selective antibody with enhanced antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) in development as a targeted immuno-therapy for tumors that overexpress FGFR2b, a splice variant of a receptor for some members of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family.
– Preparing to start the FIGHT Phase 1/3 clinical trial to test the combination of FPA144 with front-line chemotherapy in patients with metastatic gastric and gastro-esophageal junction cancer. By the end of 2017, Five Prime plans to begin dosing patients in the Phase 1 portion of the FIGHT Phase 1/3 clinical trial in order to test the safety of ascending doses of FPA144 in combination with the FOLFOX6 chemotherapy regimen in unselected patients. This safety lead-in portion of the trial will support the start of the Phase 3 portion of the trial, which Five Prime expects to initiate in 2018. The randomized, controlled Phase 3 trial would serve as a global registrational study and will evaluate FPA144 plus FOLFOX6 versus placebo plus FOLFOX6 in patients whose tumors overexpress FGFR2b or have FGFR2 gene amplification.
– Applying companion diagnostics to identify the estimated 10% of patients with gastric and gastro-esophageal junction cancer eligible for enrollment in the Phase 1/3 trial. Five Prime plans to use immunohistochemistry (IHC) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) tests to identify eligible patients for its global Phase 3 clinical trial. Five Prime believes the addition the ctDNA test will double the eligible patient population to 10% from the previous 5% identified by IHC testing alone.
– Enrolling patients in Phase 1 safety trial of FPA144 monotherapy in unselected patients with gastric cancer in Japan, where the incidence of gastric cancer is high. Completion of this Phase 1 trial is intended to enable the inclusion of Japanese patients in the planned global Phase 3 clinical trial.
– Closed enrollment of gastric cancer cohorts in the Phase 1 monotherapy trial of FPA144. As Five Prime prepares for the initiation of its front-line Phase 1/3 clinical trial, it has closed enrollment of the gastric cancer expansion cohorts in its ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating the safety, PK and efficacy of biweekly 15 mg/kg infusions of FPA144.
– Advanced the Phase 1 monotherapy cohort testing FPA144 in patients with metastatic bladder cancer. The company continues to enroll patients in the Phase 1 clinical trial cohort testing FPA144 as a treatment for patients with metastatic bladder cancer whose tumors overexpress FGFR2b, as assessed by the company's IHC test.
– Presenting new data on FGFR2b expression in bladder cancer at SITC 2017. Poster P51, entitled "FGFR2b Expression and Baseline Immune Signature to Guide FPA144 Development in Urothelial Cancer," will be featured in poster sessions on Friday, November 10, 2017, from 12:30-2:00 pm ET and 6:30-8:00 pm ET.
FP-1039: a protein drug designed to block FGF signaling. As a ligand trap, FP-1039 binds to and neutralizes a subset of FGF ligands (such as FGF2), preventing these growth-promoting and angiogenic proteins from reaching FGFR1 on the surface of tumor cells.
– Data from the phase 1b trial in mesothelioma were presented in an oral session at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2017 Congress in September. The Phase 1b trial evaluated FP-1039 with front-line pemetrexed and cisplatin in untreated, unresectable mesothelioma. Five Prime is transferring the process from its former partner, GSK, and developing and a more commercially viable cell line and process; no clinical supply is available at this time. Five Prime is exploring partnering this program.
Preclinical Research and Development:
Continue to advance first-in-class preclinical development candidates in IND-enabling studies.
– FPA150 (anti-B7-H4)
– An antibody designed for two mechanisms of action: to block an inhibitory T cell checkpoint pathway and to enhance killing of B7-H4-expressing tumors by ADCC. B7-H4 is frequently overexpressed in breast, ovarian and endometrial cancers.
– Data featured in an oral poster discussion during the ESMO 2017 Congress suggest that FPA150, which possesses T cell checkpoint and ADCC activity, has the potential to be an effective therapeutic by improving anti-tumor immune responses in patients with cancer.
– Investigational New Drug (IND) application planned for December 2017.
– FPT155 (CD80-Fc)
– A multi-targeting immune modulator that can stimulate T cell responses through three critical pathways: CTLA4 blockade, CD28 agonism (without superagonism) and PD-L1 blockade.
– Preclinical data on FPT155 were featured in a poster presentation at the 2017 AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics in October. Work done in preclinical models with FPT155 suggests that it has the potential to be a potent T-cell co-stimulator with strong antitumor activity, and it may have a synergistic effect when combined with anti-PD1 therapy.
– On track for an IND application in mid-2018.
Target discovered by Five Prime in its respiratory disease collaboration exclusively licensed by partner GSK.
– In August, GSK exercised its right to exclusively license a drug target discovered by Five Prime in the respiratory disease collaboration between the companies. This resulted in a $500,000 payment to Five Prime.
Aron Knickerbocker selected by Board of Directors to succeed Dr. Rusty Williams as President and CEO of Five Prime effective January 1, 2018. Dr. Rusty Williams will be named Executive Chairman.
Bryan Irving, Ph.D. appointed Senior Vice President, Research.
Summary of Financial Results and Guidance:
Cash Position. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $320.8 million on September 30, 2017, compared to $421.7 million on December 31, 2016. The decrease in cash was primarily attributable to cash used in operations to advance FPA144 and cabiralizumab clinical development and preclinical development programs toward IND applications.
Revenue. Collaboration revenue for the third quarter of 2017 increased by $1.6 million to $8.3 million from $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2016. This increase was primarily due to revenue recognized under the 2015 cabiralizumab collaboration agreement with BMS, under which Five Prime is reimbursed for the expenses from the cabiralizumab immuno-oncology trial.
R&D Expenses. Research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2017 increased by $18.8 million to $42.7 million from $23.9 million in the third quarter of 2016. This increase was primarily related to advancing our FPA144 development program and the FPA150 and FPT155 programs toward IND applications.
G&A Expenses. General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2017 increased by $0.6 million to $9.7 million from $9.1 million in the third quarter of 2016. This increase was primarily due to accruing rent for the lease on our new corporate office to be occupied in December 2017.
Net Loss. Net loss for the third quarter of 2017 was $43.3 million, or $1.54 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $19.4 million, or $0.72 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2016.
Shares Outstanding. Total shares outstanding were 28.9 million as of September 30, 2017.
Cash Guidance. Five Prime expects full-year 2017 net cash used in operating activities to be less than $120 million. The company estimates ending 2017 with slightly less than $300 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

Q: Filter an Array of Object that has different attributes I have an array of objects that I want to filter so that it only shows objects with Id with atleast "something" that is not empty in it besides Id. so this array below
[{id:1, a:true, b:[]},
 {id:2, a:false, b:[]},
 {id:3, foo:'', bar:{}},
 {id:4, bla:[1,2,3], blabla:{x: 1}}];

show give me the following result:
[{id:1, a:true, b:[]},
 {id:4, bla:[1,2,3], blabla:{x: 1}}];

This is where I am at however I know this way of doing is is not ideal even if it gives me the above result :
const  dataArray = [
        {id:1, a:true, b:[]},
        {id:2, a:false, b:[]},
        {id:3, foo:'', bar:{}},
        {id:4, bla:[1,2,3], blabla:{x: 1}}
];

const filterArray = dataArray.filter((value) => {
        return value.foo != '' && value.a != false
})

console.log(filterArray);

https://jsfiddle.net/cnuvkg54/

A: If I understand your goal correctly this could be a way of dealing with non truthy properties, other than id
const dataArray = [
  { id: 1, a: true, b: [] },
  { id: 2, a: false, b: [] },
  { id: 3, foo: "", bar: {} },
  { id: 4, bla: [1, 2, 3], blabla: { x: 1 } },
  { id: 5 }, // should not be in filterArray
  { id: 6, a: false } // should not be filterArray
];

// with Object.keys
const filterArray = dataArray.filter(({ id, ...data }) =>
  Object.keys(data).some((key) => data[key])
);

// with Object.entries
const filterArray2 = dataArray.filter(({ id, ...data }) =>
  Object.entries(data).some(([, prop]) => prop)
);

console.log(filterArray);
console.log(filterArray2);

A: You could check objects with keys.

const
    array = [{ id: 1, a: true, b: [] }, { id: 2, a: false, b: [] }, { id: 3, foo: '', bar: {} }, { id: 4, bla: [1, 2, 3], blabla: { x: 1 } }],
    result = array.filter(({ id, ...o }) => Object.values(o).some(v => v && typeof v === 'object'
        ? Object.keys(v).length
        : v
    ));

console.log(result);
