Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis of chromosome 12p abnormalities is useful for distinguishing epidermoid cysts of the testis from pure mature teratoma
Liang Cheng, Shaobo Zhang, Gregory T. MacLennan, Christopher K. Poulos, Ming Tse Sung, Stephen D. Beck, Richard Foster
Purpose: The distinction of epidermoid cyst of the testis from teratoma is of critical importance because the former is benign and the latter is a malignant tumor that may have associated metastasis of either teratomatous or non - teratomatous germ cell tumor types. Chromosome 12p abnormalities are seen in the vast majority of testicular germ cell tumors of adults and are present in all histologic subtypes. In this study, we investigated the clinical utility of interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of chromosome 12p abnormalities for distinguishing epidermoid cysts of the testis from pure mature teratoma. Experimental Design: Sixteen testicular epidermoid cysts and 17 testicular teratomas were investigated for isochromosome 12p [i(12p)] and 12p overrepresentation using interphase FISH analysis. Results: Neither i(12p) nor 12p overrepresentation were observed in 16 epidermoid cyst cases, whereas i(12p) was detected in 76% of teratomas and 12p overrepresentation was identified in 29% of teratomas. Overall, 88% of testicular teratomas had chromosome 12p abnormalities. Conclusions: FISH identification of i(12p) and/or 12p overrepresentation in routinely processed surgical specimens is a useful ancillary diagnostic tool in distinguishing testicular epidermoid cysts from teratoma.

Earth Defense Force 5 (PC) – Review
August 1, 2019	- Pimp Without The Pee	- No Comments
Good: stress-relieving, non-stop action, small vs big
Bad: lacks any form of depth besides collectable weapons, lots of ''useless'' weapons
Earth Defense Force is a series that's been hopping along since 2003, and, despite what the title of the current game might make you believe, the series actually has had more than five games. Overall, you could say it's actually a (small) franchise. A franchise that made its mark with its own quirkiness and way of fighting. The "fifth" Earth Defense Force game already came out on PS4. Now, a good year later, it's also out on PC. So it's time to recheck what's going on at our precious Earth.
Earth Defense Force has always had somewhat of a ridiculous notion to it. EDF 5 is no exception to this rule. The game only has a "story" mode, with multiple campaign levels. Which is kinda weird for a game like this because everything about it feels a lot like an arcade-type of game, meaning you would expect something else for you to play around with. Anyway, the story is here, and it's true to the series, though it's not a piece of literature.
It is, however, at times hilarious in its own way. For some, it might feel like it's trying a bit too much to make you laugh, but it certainly has its moments. You start during a tutorial level in a "secret military base", where stuff quickly goes down as giant ants come through the hallways and the intercom is alerting all troops. You are called a "civilian" and the EDF will take you to a "safe place" while they also give you a weapon… You go from one "safe place" to another as you seem to be very helpful to the armed forces. Delightfully (or annoyingly) oblivious as every person you ever speak to is wondering "which country made these weapons", while ominous things fall from the sky. The entire game is a lot like a B-grade sci-fi movie, without really caring about directing everything you will see and, instead, focussing on having fun.
The graphics in EDF 5 are a bit disappointing in a way. The models and animations of most of the characters surrounding you might as well come from 2003 till 2005, and other than that there's simply not much to be seen. The graphics are basic, to be short, but then again it doesn't really matter for the game since it's just an action-heavy shooting fest. There are some small in-game cutscenes that can be a bit annoying (especially at the highest difficulty) because they let the game continue but basically render you impossible to properly play. Altogether, it's not detailed, but the game doesn't care since it wasn't going to take itself seriously at any point anyway. And in this case, neither should you.
There is some music present in the game, but it's mostly noticeable in the main menu and upon a special moment such as a victory. During the game itself, you mostly notice the sound effects and voices that tell you a little bit of background story as well as that they "enhance" the experience of the B-grade sci-fi movie you play through. Civilians screaming for you to save them, silly military troops guessing what's going on, and sometimes also complete parts of news broadcasts, letting you know little by little what the current state of the world is. It's one of the aspects that make Earth Defense Force most recognizable, cause it's used as the main medium to turn any situation into something silly.
Earth Defense Force 5 is a third-person shooter where you can go totally wild on alien forces. Every time you start a new mission, you can pick one of four characters/classes and load them up with anything you gathered for those specific classes. The ranger, your starting class and the easiest to control, is pretty straight forward. Two guns on him, and a support item. Guns can be anything from assault rifles to shotguns to grenades and more. Blast away with whatever you choose, and call it a day.
Is it really that straight forward you ask? Well… Yes. That's actually the entire game. But the hilarity that's added sometimes and just the stress-relieving aspect of going through many monsters and other enemies is enough to stay entertaining. The game is available for online games up to 4 players and also has split-screen. So the other classes, which do play differently but maybe not as smooth as the ranger, are a welcome addition when playing together as you share the fun. There's the Wing Diver who is good at short-range, can fly, and deals high damage (but with low HP). The Air Raider which is more of a tactic backup class as you give information to support ships that come in to help you, and the Fencer, who is incredibly slow but has giant (long-range) weapons to back up your teammates.
Most campaign levels only have a single type of monster, making it feel a bit boring at times perhaps, but there is something done very well about EDF 5 that just keeps luring you back or makes you say "just one more mission", clicking the next one. Enemies drop crates of Armor, Weapons, and HP, which gradually give you more HP as you play, new weapons, or heal you on the spot. Annoyingly enough, not every weapon is as useful as it seems though. And it could be that you have to restart a mission a couple of times to find something that works for the enemy at hand. This seems like the biggest plothole, cause it takes away from the fun of shooting stuff as well as that it gnaws at the feeling of "us big guys are winning from impossible odds".
Earth Defense Force 5 has some entertaining bits. The voices and sound effects, and the smooth way that you can just carve your path through waves of monsters as you collect and shoot your weapons of choice. It has a bit of a downside as well, mainly that there's no depth in any way. Especially for a PC release that's a lot later but still at a high price (50 euros/dollars), it could have had more. But what it wants to do, being funny in its own way and giving you something fun to do, it does well.

Nice game, engine runs quite smoothly, control is not stubby; graphics are stylish, especially effects around items being picked up.
1. I was able to run it on win98se; I suppose this info may be kinda useful.
2. As far as I recall soda junkies, crystal ond other games of the genre, JoeSnow levels are relatively pretty big. It's nice.
3. I couldn't get to some coins - theese are there just like "more active" background or for cooler level design?
4. I'd like to know perfect scores for whole demo to figure out how far I'm from perfectness. Some "progress" or % collected info could be displayed.
5. What does power item do? Except from score and graphical coolness I wasn't able to see any difference. I expected it to be "jump powerup" with which I would be able to reach those coins I couldn't get.
PS. Ooops It was meant to be in work in progress board. pff.
2. Yea, it IS similar to Soda Junky and Crystal since you put it that way.
3. You do not have to collect every single coin in the level. If there are some coins you cannot get, let them be.
4. I'm not sure if getting a perfect score would be ideal.
5. Power item only give you 10,000 points, thats it, heheh.
BTW, as of version 1.1, have you noticed any change of speed or performance?

Martha Minow: How Can Restorative Justice Create A More Equitable Legal System? Our justice system is flawed and inequitable, says Harvard law professor Martha Minow. She calls for a reset to emphasize accountability, apology, and service, rather than punitive punishment.

Martha Minow: How Can Restorative Justice Create A More Equitable Legal System?
Listen · 10:25 10:25
MANOUSH ZOMORODI, HOST:
On the show today, making amends for past wrongs. We've been looking at U.S. history, but how do we think about our present? Should we reconsider justice in this country and how we ask individuals to make amends if they've committed a crime?
MARTHA MINOW: Oh, I'm so glad you put it that way. I've been thinking a lot about...
ZOMORODI: This is Martha Minow.
MINOW: And I teach at Harvard Law School, where I have been since 1981.
ZOMORODI: She studies the U.S. criminal justice system and international law.
MINOW: I've been so compelled by this story of people who, at a young age, have been either forced into the role of being a child soldier or drawn into conflicts and how international law treats such individuals.
LUIS MORENO-OCAMPO: Mr. President, Your Honors...
MINOW: The very first case was against Thomas Lubanga...
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #4: Thomas Lubanga Dyilo...
MINOW: ...For drawing minors, children...
MORENO-OCAMPO: Children.
MINOW: ...Juveniles into armed conflict.
MORENO-OCAMPO: Some of the most serious crimes for the international community.
ZOMORODI: This is a recording of Lubanga's trial before the International Criminal Court.
MORENO-OCAMPO: Thomas Lubanga systematically recruited children under the age of 15.
MINOW: And he was convicted of that activity as a violation of crimes against humanity.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #4: The prosecution has proved that Mr. Thomas Lubanga Dyilo is guilty of the crimes.
MINOW: The question that then emerges - what about the minors themselves? - because many of them do commit horrible crimes. They kill people. They rape. They conscript other minors.
MORENO-OCAMPO: They cannot forget what they suffer, what they saw, what they did.
MINOW: And in international law, the approach is very much to say, well, they deserve another chance. They are not the ones most responsible. The people most responsible are the adults who created the conflicts and drew or forced the minors into it.
ZOMORODI: I mean, that's pretty remarkable that international law sees child soldiers as victims and gives them another chance.
MINOW: You are right. And how different that is from the way we talk about juvenile justice in this country...
ZOMORODI: Yeah.
MINOW: ...Where very similar elements are present. Young people are drawn into conflicts - drug dealing, for example - that is not of their creation, people who haven't yet had a chance to have a childhood, to develop a sense of right and wrong. What a different approach it is, as many countries have developed for child soldiers, to say, OK, we know you have that challenge, and we're going to help you. And you're going to learn some skills, as well as have some therapeutic opportunities, as opposed to what we do with juvenile offenders in the United States.
(SOUNDBITE OF TED TALK)
MINOW: The rhetoric of innocence is resonant when we talk about child soldiers but not when we talk about teen gang members in the United States.
ZOMORODI: Martha Minow picks up this idea on the TED stage.
MINOW: Youth are caught in worlds that are made by adults, and forgiveness can offer both accountability and fresh starts. What if, instead, young people caught in criminal activity and violence could have chances to accept responsibility while learning and rebuilding their lives and their own communities? Legal frameworks inviting youth to describe their conduct could also involve community members to hear and forgive. Called restorative justice, such efforts emphasize accountability and service rather than punishment.
ZOMORODI: So this is really about finding a way for them to move forward.
MINOW: It is a focus on the future rather than the past. So often our legal system, our criminal process, even school discipline processes focus entirely on what happened in the past. It's retrospective. Restorative justice has a view that actually the community, the people who are involved, are going to have some kind of a future.
MINOW: Restorative justice alternatives involve offenders and victims in communicating in ways that an adversarial and defensive process does not allow. And it's become the go-to method in places like the District of Columbia juvenile justice system and innovations like Los Angeles' Teen Court. Many schools in the United States have turned to use restorative justice methods to resolve conflicts and to prevent them and to disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline. Some American high schools have replaced automatic suspensions with opportunities for victims to narrate their experiences and for offenders to take responsibility for their actions.
ZOMORODI: So what does restorative justice look like in schools? Can you give us an example?
MINOW: I'd be glad to. It's an example, and it's a true story, about how restorative justice processes can work. And this involved a young woman named Mercedes who attended a public high school in California. And there were two other students who called her names, and they were almost getting into a fight. And a counselor took her aside and earned enough trust so that she admitted that she had stolen shoes from one of the other students. And the three of them agreed to have a conference - a restorative justice-style conference - which means that they each had a chance to describe their version of what happened. Turns out, they had known each other for a long time in childhood and had never found a way to talk without coming to blows. But suddenly, Mercedes apologized. And she said that, indeed, she had stolen these shoes. But she did so, she said, because her mother needed money. And she wanted to sell the shoes in order to get enough money so her mother could get a drug test and hopefully show the state that she was clean and then regain custody of two other children.
The other girls were moved, and they did not exactly forgive Mercedes, but they said they didn't expect her to pay the money back. And they wanted to go forward, and they just wanted assurances that they could trust her going forward. And later on, Mercedes said that if this process had not taken place, she was sure she would have been on the road to suspension and maybe expulsion and maybe out on the street. But the school might also refer the matter to the criminal justice system, especially if there were blows landed, and that could lead to charges, a hearing, even to penalties as severe as incarceration.
ZOMORODI: I mean, not to sound naive, but it seems unbelievable that if Mercedes' school didn't have this program, that pair of shoes could have landed her in prison.
MINOW: Sadly, there are more kids in the criminal justice system now, particularly girls. There's been a real increase in the numbers of girls who are involved in criminal justice. We are the most incarcerating country in the history of human beings. And I think that this is a wake-up call for people across the political spectrum that something's not working in our criminal justice system and the institutions that feed into it, which include schools. That's why we call it the school-to-prison pipeline, unfortunately, particularly for people of color.
ZOMORODI: You mentioned these restorative justice experiments happening in LA and D.C. But this isn't really about one school here or a couple juvenile courts. I mean, it sounds like you're really advocating for a broader mindset shift across the entire criminal justice system and society - that we need to rethink what constitutes a crime and why someone might commit it in the first place.
MINOW: I think we need a reset in this country. And yes, it is a mindset shift. So for example, the contrast between bankruptcy and criminal law is so striking because, you know, with bankruptcy, we say, yes, you have a chance for a second...
ZOMORODI: Right.
MINOW: ...A second chance. You can have a clean slate. You can start over. And we don't do that when it comes to crime. You know, even people who've served their entire sentence - you know, people lose the right to vote in many states. They lose the ability to get credit, to get jobs, to actually start a new life. And we need a mindset change. We absolutely need a mindset change.
ZOMORODI: Yeah. And I guess that would mean that all of us would actually need to put greater value in the act of someone taking responsibility for their actions.
MINOW: I think the word responsibility in English is such an interesting word, because it - on the one hand, it certainly implies, you know, blame or guilt or who caused something. But I think it also carries with it the idea of ability to respond. And sometimes getting hung up on who caused what can get in the way of, you know, people assisting the turn from the past to the future, causes of why does a conflict occur. If that the example of Mercedes is one that we can point to, you know, why did her mother not have the ability to get money for a drug test? Why did this young girl think that she had to steal in order to help her mother?
ZOMORODI: Right. Right.
MINOW: Can we address that? And so if you really take restorative justice seriously and making amends seriously, it includes not just in this particular situation what do we do, but how do we understand what leads to these conflicts, and making a ground for building a different kind of society.
ZOMORODI: That's Martha Minow. She's a law professor at Harvard University, and you can see her whole talk at ted.com.

Q: SVPullToRefresh custom view causes layoutIfNeeded go into infinite loop I tried using custom views for the SVPullToRefresh but I've stumbled upon weird issue. I've made the demo project to illustrate the issue: https://github.com/gaks/SVRefreshProblem
The project is simply one UITableViewController with a TableView and the xib file with custom refresh bar view. The SVPullToRefresh is added to the tableView via the IBOutlet in the viewDidLoad: https://github.com/gaks/SVRefreshProblem/blob/master/SVRefreshProblem/DemoViewController.m
There is also a code that loads the RefreshBarView from the xib file and sets it as a custom view for SVPullToRefresh (for 'loading' state only for illustration):
RefreshBarView* refreshBarView = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"RefreshBarView" owner:self options:nil] objectAtIndex:0];
refreshBarView.bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 60);

[[tableView pullToRefreshView] setCustomView:refreshBarView forState:SVPullToRefreshStateLoading];

The issue is that when you pull the table view to trigger the refresh it goes into infinite loop and eat-all-available-memory state after calling [self layoutIfNeeded] in the - (void)setState:(SVPullToRefreshState)newState. As far as I was able to debug it keeps calling - (void)layoutSubviews over and over.
What's weird is that when you open the xib file: https://github.com/gaks/SVRefreshProblem/blob/master/SVRefreshProblem/SVPullToRefresh/RefreshBarView.xib
... and remove the label from the view - it works just fine (except you have an empty view).
What am I doing wrong?

A: Loading from nibs is for ViewControllers, not views proper.  You can try to do this programmatically which will work :
    UIView *v = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 60)];
    [v setBackgroundColor:[UIColor grayColor]];
    UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 60)];
    [label setText:@"asdf"];
    [v addSubview:label];
    [[tableView pullToRefreshView] setCustomView:v forState:SVPullToRefreshStateLoading];

A: Try to turn off "Use Auto Layout" in your nib.

At least three people have been killed in an explosion in a city near Pakistan's border with India
February 16, 2019 - Srinagar, India, February 17th, 2019. Indian paramilitary soldiers stand guard as authorities impose restrictions in parts of Srinagar after Kashmiri traders called for a strike on Sunday in protest against the targeting of Kashmiri Muslims by Hindu groups in some parts of India as tensions grow following a recent bomb attack by militants on an Indian police convoy in Indian-administered Kashmir. The suicide car bombing of a paramilitary convoy on the Srinagar-Jammu highway, about 20km from Srinagar, killed at least 40 soldiers and injured dozens. The attack, which is believed to be the deadliest on Indian forces in disputed Kashmir, has been claimed by the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad Islamic group
At least three people were killed and many others injured in an explosion at a Shiite Ashura festival rally in Bahawalnagar city, southeastern Punjab province, Pakistan, on August 19, local time. The police have now arrested a suspect.

The Palokaski crime series debuts in the Netherlands and Poland!
J. K. Johansson's Palokaski Trilogy (Tammi), a hybrid of Twin Peaks, Gone Girl and Nordic crime, launches in the Netherlands by The House of Books and in Poland by Literackie this summer.
Behind the pen name J.K. Johansson is a team of seasoned professional storytellers who have not publicly revealed their identities. Johansson loves HBO's television series, Jo Nesbø's thrillers, Tove Jansson's Moomin books and well-written erotic scenes. Johansson's hobbies include yoga, crossword puzzles, big mountain snowboarding and the endless stalking of innocent (and not so innocent) people in the internet.
J. K. Johansson recently gave a Polish-language interview to Literackie:
"It is simultaneously easier and more difficult to disappear in the global digital world of today. Everybody leaves all sorts of tracks, and one can be found more easily. On the other hand, creating a false identity and decoy is easier than ever," the authors wrote.
"The film rights of the Palokaski Trilogy have been acquired by Eyeworks, which is part of Warner Bros. We are working on the complete story of all three books, but the format and the schedule are still open. In Finland, readers have loved the entertaining story and told that this is the best kind of reading you can take with you on a holiday trip," Johansson continued.
PRAISE FROM INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHERS:
"J.K. Johansson has written an intriguing novel. The plot and the psychology behind the disappearance of Laura is so very cleverly put together that reading this first book in a series of three will definitely raise your appetite for the following two books. We are thrilled to publish this series."
-Ilonka Reintjens, The House of Books, The Netherlands
"We are very glad it is us who will be the publishers of this intriguing series. A crime novel in the spirit of Twin Peaks? Readers have been waiting for such a book for years."
–Paweł Ciemniewski, Wydawnictwo Literackie
"A small town. A missing girl. A secret that grows deeper the more is unveiled. Laura is electrifying, and we are thrilled to publish this wonderful book as first part of a series that will be a treat for fans of Nordic crime fiction."
-Susanne Gretter, Suhrkamp, Germany
PRAISE IN FINNISH MEDIA:
"Noora is a book in which almost every character has a secret; this amps up the tension in the story. The crimes and murders simply provide an extra garnish to the narrative."
–Ruumiin kulttuuri, The Finnish Whodunnit Society's quarterly magazine
"Like its predecessor Laura, Noora is constructed from the building blocks of guaranteed literary entertainment. A slick plot has been packed full with surprises and a sense of danger and dread. The chapters are short and snappy and almost always end in a hook that a reader can't resist."
–Kouvolan sanomat newspaper, Finland
ABOUT THE PALOKASKI TRILOGY:
LAURA (Tammi 2013): Former internet cop Miia Pohjavirta begins a new career as a special needs teacher at her former high school. On her first day at work, she hears that student Laura Anderson has disappeared from a party held on the Palokaski beach to celebrate the end of summer. When Laura's parents create a Facebook page in order to locate their daughter, a Pandora's Box is opened.
NOORA (Tammi 2014): Noora is a lonely girl with no friends. When Laura Andersson's body is found near the Palokaski beach, Laura's former classmate Noora is confused. She cannot help but feel annoyed about the fact that even in death Laura is getting so much attention. On the day following the discovery of Laura's body, Noora visits Miia Pohjavirta's office and says that she is fearing for her life.
VENLA (Tammi 2015, full English synopsis now available!): Venla's case is the undercurrent in all the parts of the series. The sudden disappearance of Miia and Nikke's sister Venla in the 1980s left its mark on the whole family. As Miia finds herself being pulled back into Venla's mystery, she begins to see connections between the stories of Laura, Noora and Venla.
