Press Release for Monday, November 28, 2016
UNF Listed in National Rankings for Study Abroad Participation
The University of North Florida ranked No. 9 nationally on the list of "Leading Institutions by Duration and Institutional Type" for short-term study abroad programs and No. 17 nationwide on the list of "Leading Institutions by Institutional Type" (Carnegie classification of Master's Institutions), according to the Institute of International Education's 2016 Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange.
Over 1,300 institutions across the country participated in this year's Open Door report. UNF was the only Florida state university in the Master's Carnegie classification that was listed in the report. UNF, which has students studying abroad at more than twice the national average, awarded credit to 578 students who studied abroad in the 2014-15 academic year.
"I am pleased that UNF continues to be nationally ranked in the Open Doors report," said Ruth Lopez, UNF International Center director. "It shows that students want to be internationally engaged and faculty use the real world as their classroom."
The Student Affairs International Learning Scholarship is also a direct positive impact in helping Ospreys go abroad. Antoinette Vitale, a junior majoring in public relations spent the entire summer at the University's exchange partner, Sophia University in Tokyo, Japan. "My favorite part about the Asian studies program was that I would learn about Japan and then walk outside of the classroom and my lectures would come to life," he said.
Students participating in the Coggin College of Business's International Business (IB) Flagship Program regularly account for 30 to 40 percent of the University's study abroad numbers. In addition to short-term programs, IB offers semester exchanges and international dual degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Giovanni Kague, a Coggin student spending his junior and senior years at KEDGE Business School in Marseille, France, says this about his dual degree program: "Having the privilege of being a UNF-KEDGE dual degree scholar has allowed me to appreciate the cultural similarities and differences between the U.S. and France. During my two years of business and language study in each country, I've grown both personally and professionally in pursuit of liberty, independence and success!"
Dr. Andrés Gallo, professor of economics and director of the IB Flagship Program, attributes this recognition to UNF's overall commitment to internationalization. "The UNF community at every level and across all colleges should be recognized for this top 10 accomplishment.
The administration's financial support, faculty expertise and staff facilitation create an environment where students can feel safe exploring beyond their comfort zones. Intentional international experiences are essential in preparing our graduates for today's competitive global economy – in Northeast Florida and beyond."
The annual report on international student mobility indicates that the total number of U.S. students receiving credit for study abroad increased by 3 percent to 313,415 students in 2014-15. Short-term study abroad programs are defined as for either the summer or eight weeks or less. The Open Doors report is published by IIE with support from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

Five nests each of Reticulitermes flavipes Kollar (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) and Solenopsis gayi Spinola (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) were collected in sites distanced at least 1 km in the Metropolitan Region, Santiago, Chile, to study the modification of hermeticism conducts of termites exposed to ant specimens on transparent plastic arenas lined with filter paper sprayed or bathed with a water extract of the termite, obtained by setting 20 of them on test tubes that were frozen, added acetone, and stirred in a vortex mixer. Finally the termites were eliminated and the acetone evaporated with gaseous nitrogen. Then, the extracts were dissolved in H2O. A control group was used per nest. The behavior of S. gayi receiving R. flavipes treated or untreated was observed during 6 min, registering antennal exploration (AE), mandible opening (MO), biting (BI), abdomen flexed dorsally or ventrally (AFD and AFV, respectively), fighting (FI), backward movement (BM), transport of intruder (TI), and death (DE). The behavior of R. flavipes receiving treated or untreated termites was also observed during 6 min, registering the approach to the intruder and brief pursuit by one or more termites (API), mandible opening (MO), and biting (BI). The transference of ants treated to their original nests increased the frequency of recognition events (AE and MO), as well as BI, which occurred earlier, compared with control groups. In contrast, when treated ants were transferred to receiving termites, a decreased frequency and a delayed appearance occurred in API and MO. Intruder death (DE) did not occur in both transference bioassays. In summary, S. gayi treated were recognized as intruders and rejected by the ants of their nests. In contrast, the recipient R. flavipes termites recognized the extract-treated ants as members of their nests.

Greetings from De Tomas Wines!
"De Tomas" simply means "from Thomas," because that's me, Thomas Guilliams. As many of you all ready know, I grew up working for my parents, John and Shawn Guilliams. My winemaking odyssey began in 1978, when my parents brought me to Spring Mountain in a wicker basket. My earliest memories of happy times with my family are tied to planting the vineyard, and making wine in the cellar with my father and grandfather. I officially "turned pro" in 1997, when at age 18 I took a cellar job at Caymus Vineyards. Since age 19, I have been saving toward the goal of having my own wine company, which culminated in the formation of De Tomas Wines, LLC in 2007.
In the wake of my parents' separation and subsequent sale of Guilliams Vineyards, my wife and I are more committed than ever to continuing to blaze our own trail in the wine business. Despite our fair share of setbacks, I have recently bottled another 250 cases of extremely good wine. That's why we need your support now more than ever, to help us continue a family tradition that began over 35 years ago.
2010 was a very lucky vintage for me. The Rose from this vintage sold out in 6 weeks, and I am only now releasing the reds. I was lucky to find such good Merlot, from Rutherford, grown on the Carpy Connely Ranch by Tom Gamble. This is the backbone of another very good red blend. I lucked out again when I found one ton of amazing Petit Sirah on a ranch south of Calistoga. I showed up a little before dawn to pick the fruit myself, and paid the farmer, Melvin Cooke. He told me to go "over by the crick, that's where the best fruit is." It turns out his ranch is positioned in such a way that Dunaweal lane marks the southern boundary, and a tributary creek marks the north. On the north side of this block was a gravel fan worth getting excited about. That day was a truly unique experience, picking all day to get just one ton from the ancient vines. The result is the darkest wine I have ever seen, and I spent 3 years working to tame the massive tannins while the wine aged in French oak. After blending with small amounts of Cabernet and Merlot, the finished product is a serious and hand crafted offering.

Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride
By: Cary Elwes, Joe Layden, Rob Reiner (foreword)
Narrated by: Cary Elwes, Christopher Guest, Carol Kane, and others
From actor Cary Elwes, who played the iconic role of Westley in The Princess Bride, comes a first-person account and behind-the-scenes look at the making of the cult classic film filled with never-before-told stories, exclusive photographs, and interviews with costars Robin Wright, Wallace Shawn, Billy Crystal, Christopher Guest, and Mandy Patinkin, as well as author and screenwriter William Goldman, producer Norman Lear, and director Rob Reiner.
almost as funny & heartwarming as the film itself
By emma on 25-10-15
Narrated by: Cary Elwes, Christopher Guest, Carol Kane, Norman Lear, Rob Reiner, Wallace Shawn, Robin Wright, Billy Crystal
A MUST listen for any Princess Bride Aficionado
If you could sum up As You Wish in three words, what would they be?
Authentic Revealing Funny
Have you listened to any of the narrators's other performances? How does this one compare?
I particularly enjoy audio books when they are narrated by the author and this one was a particular treat.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, it brought back all the warm, happy and playful emotions I have when watching The Princess Bride film.
I now feel like an insider. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the film again (must be at least my 20th viewing now) spotting all the interesting details highlighted in the book. i.e. Carey's broken toe and the Spinal Tap Baseball Cap in Fred Savage's Bedroom in the opening scene.

The meeting was organized by Catherine Rose and Tessa Chynoweth. It brought together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to share ideas about common problems facing the historical study of childhood. The one-day event offered 14 papers dealing broadly with the relationships between ideas and lived experience within the field. It called for a discussion of memory, interdisciplinarity, the historicity of age, cultural comparison, institutional space, and the significance of historical research on childhood.
Pooley Keynote Lecture
In "Children's writing and subjectivity in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century England," Siȃn Pooley provided a close reading of children's contributions to and correspondence with late-19th/early-20th century periodicals and their editors. She explores children's writing, family relations, public presence, and the production of the self to pose questions about agency, power, and causality.
Newton Keynote Lecture
In "Voices of Sick Children: Challenges and Solutions in the History of Childhood," Hannah Newton explored five major issues:
(1) a lack of written records by children;
(2) the temptation to assess authenticity of past children's actions based on the present;
(3) the difficulty of assessing emotions and pain of persons in the past;
(4) urge to make ethical judgments about past practices;
(5) lack of evidence regarding poor children.

The Guardians called Supervisors are not only concrete in speech and cooperative in reaching their goals, but they are also directive and expressive in their social address-very directive and very expressive. Supervisors do not hesitate even for an instant to express their opinion of someone's performance, nor do they withhold their demand for improvement.
Supervisors see themselves as responsible for seeing to it that those in their charge do as they should. They feel proud of their responsibility and of their efforts in making others responsible. Representing from ten to twelve percent of the general population, eStJs can be counted on to do their duty no matter how difficult it may be, or what sacrifices it demands. And they can be tough-minded about others' derelictions of duty. Supervisors naturally gravitate to the role of supervisor in their relations with others, and feel especially responsible for making sure that people behave in keeping with agreed upon procedures and standards of conduct-or else face the consequences. Like a seasoned, stalwart umpire, they will set their jaw and point out mistakes and transgressions to anyone who steps out of line; they feel obligated to do so, and they're sometimes surprised when the culprit does not seem grateful for their reprimand.
Supervisors are gregarious and civic-minded, and are usually pillars of their community. They are generous with their time and energy, and very often belong to a variety of service clubs, lodges, and associations, supporting them through steady attendance, but also taking a vocal leadership role. Indeed, membership groups of all kinds attract ESTJs like magnets, perhaps because membership satisfies in some degree their need to maintain the stability of social institutions. Like all the SJs, ESTJs worry a good deal about society falling apart, morality decaying, standards being undermined, traditions being lost, and they do all they can to preserve and to extend the institutions that embody social order. Supervisors are so in tune with the established, time-honored institutions and ways of behaving within those institutions, that they have a hard time understanding those who might wish to abandon or radically change them.

La casa dels esperits és la primera novel·la de l'escriptora xilena Isabel Allende. Va tenir un èxit immediat a escala internacional.

El llibre, com molts altres següents, utilitza l'estil conegut com a "muntatge en la boira de la nit" incorporant-hi coses inversemblants i estranyes al que és ordinari. La història narra la vida de la família Trueba al llarg de quatre generacions i segueix els moviments socials i polítics del període postcolonial al país en què viuen (Xile). La novel·la és narrada des de la perspectiva de dos dels seus protagonistes. Incorpora una mescla d'esdeveniments que tracten sobre l'amor, la família, la mort, els fantasmes, les classes socials, la revolució, la política i els ideals.

Trama
La casa dels esperits, la primera novel·la d'Isabel Allende, narra la vida de la família Trueba, especialment centrada en la Clara, una dona distreta amb dots de clarivident.

La novel·la comença amb una presentació de la família del Valle i l'Esteban Trueba, qui marxa a les mines d'or per fer-se ràpidament ric i així poder casar-se amb la Rosa, la filla gran dels del Valle. Tanmateix, al temps, l'Esteban rep una carta a través de la qual és informat de la mort de la Rosa, morta a causa de beure un aiguardent enverinat, i originalment destinat al seu pare, un polític liberal. En rebre la notícia, l'Esteban decideix anar al feu que son pare li havia deixat d'herència. En arribar-hi es troba famílies en una pobresa extrema. Amb mà dura i molta feina, l'Esteban aconsegueix posar dempeus el feu, compra feus veïns i aconsegueix fer-se ric. Però després d'uns anys, l'Esteban ha de viatjar a la ciutat, car sa mare estava molt greu de salut, així que decideix casar-se amb la filla petita dels del Valle: Clara.

La Clara era una noia clarivident amb poders, a més de poder veure el futur, podia veure i parlar amb els esperits.

Així que la història continua, la Clara i l'Esteban tenen una filla: Blanca; i dos fills: Jaime i Nicolàs, qui són enviats a un col·legi anglès.

La Blanca, des del primer viatge a les Tres Maries (el feu de son pare), s'enamora d'un nen del lloc. Passen els anys i el noi es torna un procomunista, predicant idees del comunisme que es donava a Europa, per així mostrar a la gent que treballava al camp que és possible organitzar-se per aconseguir un canvi. L'Esteban el fa fora del feu, amenaçant de matar-lo si l'hi veu de nou, però la Blanca, durant la seva estada a les Tres Maries, el segueix veient totes les nits d'amagatotis.

La Blanca acaba tenint un fill amb ell i son pare l'obliga a casar-se amb un comte francès: Jean de Satigny, perquè no tingui un fill bord. Però un temps després d'haver-se casat, la Blanca s'assabenta que el seu espòs té un apuntament sexual "estrany", ja que a la seva oficina tenia fotos pornogràfiques dels seus criats. En saber-ho, ella fuig de casa de sos pares i mai més se sap res d'en Jean de Satigny fins que criden la Blanca per reconèixer el seu cadàver. En fugir de la casa del comte, la Blanca estava a punt de parir. Dona a llum la seva filla a casa de sos pares, amb l'ajut del seu germà Jaime (que era metge). La filla es diu Alba. Després d'una sèrie d'esdeveniments, el partit comunista guanya, però al cap de pocs dies, els militars, finançats pels polítics conservadors, com l'Esteban Trueba, fan un cop d'estat i derroquen el candidat que es dedueix que és Salvador Allende (expresident de Xile). En el transcurs dels primers vint anys de la vida de l'Alba, s'anomena sempre un home a qui deien "el Poeta", que també seria un altre famós poeta conegut internacionalment: Pablo Neruda.

La novel·la comença i acaba amb el mateix enunciat: "Barrabàs arribà a la família per la via marítima". La història es presenta com una compilació d'escrits de l'Esteban Trueba, de les anotacions en els diaris de la Clara, la seva esposa, i les edicions i anotacions de la seva neta Alba. Com el llibre és una recopilació d'escrits de diferents autors, el punt de vista canvia freqüentment sense previ avís.

Reasons for low utilisation of public facilities among households with hypertension: analysis of a population-based survey in India.
Introduction:In India, for most patients, primary healthcare remains the intended entry point for the management of non-communicable disease risk factors. The extent and determinants of non-utilisation of public primary care among households with hypertension are not well examined. We explored health facility utilisation patterns and reasons for non-utilisation of public facilities in 21 states and union territories in India, with a focus on hypertension. Methods:We used data from the 2012-2013 District Level Household and Facility Survey. We examined the self-reported usual source of care for all households, households with hypertension and─to understand multimorbidity for those with hypertension─households with hypertension and diabetes. Hypertension was defined by self-reported diagnosis or measurement of systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mm Hg. Diabetes was defined by self-reported diagnosis or fasting blood glucose level ≥ 7.0 mmol/L or non-fasting blood glucose level ≥ 11.1 mmol/L. We assessed facility utilisation choice and reasons for non-utilisation of public facilities by household with the presence of hypertension alone and hypertension with diabetes. Results:In 336 305 households, 37.6% (N=126 597) had at least one household member with hypertension, while 15.9% (N=53 385) had members with hypertension and diabetes. 20.0% of households sought care at public primary clinics, 29.9% at public hospitals and 48.3% at private facilities. Choice of private facilities increased with the burden of disease. Households with hypertension only and hypertension and diabetes cited quality reasons for non-utilisation of public facilities more than households without hypertension. Conclusion:Households, particularly those with hypertension, chose private over public primary facilities for usual care. Quality of care was an important determinant of facility choice in households with hypertension and diabetes. With the increase in hypertension and cardiovascular disease in India, quality of public primary healthcare must be addressed for current policy to become reality.


This week construction crews are expected to significantly increase the volume of work activity on the roof of the library. This will include the start of an operation in which anchor bolts will be driven through the roof and into 80 existing interior columns underneath.
The bolts will reach less than a foot into the top of each column, but noise and vibration from cutting and drilling will be noticeable to library users on the lower floors of the building directly below. Noise levels may vary significantly depending on the location and some characteristics of each column.
To drill the anchor bolts, a hole is cut first through the hard roof membrane over each column--a task that produces its own noise and vibration. Once the bolts themselves are drilled, a small weatherproof box will be placed over each hole and sealed around the edges to prevent any leaks. The drilling of these anchor bolts, along with the installation of their protective boxes, is expected to take several weeks. The operation will likely begin on the Freret Street side of the roof and slowly progress toward the Dixon Hall side.
An external elevator to carry crews and material to the roof top was erected last week and is now operational. The large crane for the construction project is still expected to arrive on site in just a couple of weeks (on Feb. 10). Some deliveries of steel and other materials for the framing of two more library floors, which are the main focus of the construction project, may begin to arrive before the crane.
Meanwhile, inside the building workers are wrapping up completion of the concrete shear wall support slab in the emergency stairwell on the Dixon Hall side of the library building. Another crew is finishing up the demolition operation in the library basement that is removing what is left of the old pipe, mechanical systems, and ceiling there.

Q: Using knex to read from file and insert into database end in error i have a small piece of code which reads a line from a file, parse it and then inserts into my database.
However after 10 to 12 thousand lines i always get this error:
Unhandled rejection Error: Knex: Timeout acquiring a connection. The pool is probably full. Are you missing a .transacting(trx) call?

The first file has about 150k lines.
Already tried to manipulate directly the transaction, but had no success.
Any ideas on how to manage resources correctly in order to make all the file?
Here goes the code i'm trying for now:

var fs = require('fs');
var knexfile = require('./knexfile');
var knex = require('knex')(knexfile.production);
var readline = require('readline');

var rl = readline.createInterface({
  terminal : false,
  input : fs.createReadStream('FOO_BAR.TXT') // About 150k lines
});
knex.transaction(function(tx){
  rl.on('line', function(line) {
    knex("dadosbrutos").insert({ // this table does exists
      AA_DATA : line.substring(0,8),
      BB_DATA : line.substring(8,16),
      CC_DATA : line.substring(36,44)
    }).then(function(){
      tx.commit(); // dies after 12k inserts
    });
  });
});

A: i created a module to promisify readline https://www.npmjs.com/package/readline-promise, but ill include the source in this post with my answer.
also make sure that you are not exceeding the maximum transaction size for your database.
is there a reason you need to use a transaction? if not, you can just do all of the inserts without a transaction.
var fs = require('fs');
var promise = require('bluebird');
var knexfile = require('./knexfile');
var knex = require('knex')(knexfile.production);

// iterates through each line calling callback
function each(cfg) {
    return function(callback) {
        return new promise(function(resolve, reject) {

            // create an array to store callbacks
            var rl, cbs = [];

            // create an interface
            try {
                rl = readline.createInterface(cfg);
            }
            catch(err) {
                return reject(err);
            }

            // handle a new line
            rl.on('line', function(line) {
                cbs.push(callback(line));
            });

            // handle close
            rl.on('close', function() {
                promise.all(cbs).then(function() {
                    resolve({
                        lines: cbs.length
                    });
                })
                .caught(function(err) {
                    reject(err);
                });
            });
        });
    };
}

knex.transaction(function(tx){
    return each({
        terminal : false,
        input : fs.createReadStream('FOO_BAR.TXT')
    })(function(line) {
        return knex("dadosbrutos").insert({ // this table does exists

The Second Opinion: New Nuances for Injunctions to Prevent Interference with Contract
In Rouge Resto-bar Inc. v. Zoom Media Inc., 2013 QCCA 443, the issue before the Quebec Court of Appeal was whether a permanent injunction could be granted to stop "knowing participation in a contractual breach" where, as a result, the defendant's co-contractant would be deprived of the benefit of its contract with the defendant without being a party to the case. The contract between the defendant and its co-contractant allegedly constituted a breach of the contract between the latter and the claimant.
The Court of Appeal decided that an injunction to prevent one party from performing a contract without impleading its co-contractant would contravene the fundamental principle audi alteram partem in that it would deprive the latter of rights without giving it an opportunity to be heard. An exception may arise, however, where the defendant's co-contractant commits a "flagrant violation" of its distinct contractual obligations towards the claimant by contracting with the defendant such that the latter knowingly participates in the breach.
Zoom Media had contracts under which it paid to install advertising panels in 39 restaurants. It then sold advertising space on the panels to third parties. Subsequently, Rouge contracted with the same clients on a similar basis to install advertising panels of a different size in different areas of the same restaurants. Claiming its contracts gave it an exclusive right throughout its clients' premises and that Rouge had knowingly participated in the breach of Zoom's contracts with the restaurants, Zoom obtained an injunction from the Superior Court ordering Rouge to withdraw its panels. None of the restaurants, the common clients who would lose the revenues from their contracts with Rouge, were parties to the case.
The Court of Appeal first noted that the Quebec cases awarding damages against a third party for knowing participation in a breach of contract generally involved a simultaneous condemnation of the claimant's co-contractant, as a party to the case. The court then examined the cases cited by Zoom, including Trudel v. Clairol Inc. of Canada, [1975] 2 S.C.R. 236, considered to be the basis for a recourse against third party interference with contractual rights under Quebec law. In these cases, an injunction or damage award was granted against the third party without impleading the claimant's co-contractant. The Court of Appeal found that the common element in these cases was the fact that the conduct of the claimant's co-contractant, who was not a party to the litigation, was a "flagrant violation" of its contract with the claimant.
The court states that all the authorities relied upon by the first instance judge involved a party to a contract pursuing its co-contractant without impleading or obtaining an order against a third party. Based on one of these authorities, the Court of Appeal states that litigation between the parties to a contract could result in an injunction which would respect audi alteram partem even if the order affected the rights of a third party who was not impleaded.
The Court of Appeal concluded that the judicial dispute as to the exclusivity clause in the contracts between Zoom and the restaurants and as to the resulting validity of the contracts between Rouge and the restaurants could not be resolved without hearing or impleading the restaurants which were parties to both contracts- presumably all 39 restaurants- as required by audi alteram partem. On this basis, the permanent injunction was refused.
The Court of Appeal went on to state that if the Clairol line of cases creates an exception to the above, the exception is limited to circumstances in which the co-contractant's breach is a "flagrant violation" such that the third party knowingly participates in it. In this circumstance, it may be possible to order injunctive relief against the third party despite the fact that the co-contractant of the claimant, who may be affected by the order, is not a party to the proceedings.
In the instant case, the Court of Appeal stated that the terms of the exclusivity clauses in the various contracts between Zoom and the restaurants varied so much that the breach by the restaurants was not "flagrant" with the result that Rouge did not "knowingly" participate in the breach.
The Rouge decision seems to raise more questions than it resolves.
Under Quebec law, a third party is liable for participation in a contractual breach only if the third party "knowingly" participates in the breach. The wrongful conduct arises in commercial contexts particularly in relation to non-competition and exclusivity clauses. The Court of Appeal seems to make the flagrant violation by the co-contractant a pre-condition for the third party to knowingly participate in the breach which would mean that the flagrant violation is a new and additional element of the wrongful conduct.
Other than a reference to the dictionary definition of "flagrant", the Court of Appeal provides no guidance as to its meaning.
The decision is not clear in its application of audi alteram partem. The court states that the dispute related to the exclusivity clauses between Zoom and its clients and their impact on the contracts with Rouge cannot be decided without impleading the clients. It is not clear whether Rouge must have been a party. In this regard, the court indicates that injunctive relief can be ordered in litigation between the parties to a contract even if the order affects a third party who may have contracted separately with one of the litigants but is not impleaded. It is not clear why this is consistent with the Latin maxim, whereas the instant case is not. It may be that the court is conflating injunctive relief with specific performance.
The Court of Appeal does not indicate whether the exception based on a flagrant violation actually applies. The court posits the exception only if the Clairol line of cases creates the exception without determining the issue. Other than to reconcile earlier decisions, the Court of Appeal does not explain why a flagrant violation permits or might permit an exception to audi alteram partem. In addition, where the exception applies, the court would be determining whether the co-contractant's breach is flagrant without necessarily impleading or hearing the co-contractant.
The scope of the decision is not clear. The holding is broadly stated without limiting its application to injunctive, as opposed to monetary, relief. It is also not clear whether the decision applies to injunctive relief to prevent participation in a contractual breach before the fact or merely to stop a breach that has already occurred and is on-going.
Finally, none of the issues raised by the Rouge decision is addressed within the context of the judicial discretion applicable to injunctions.
The lesson to be taken from the Rouge decision is that a claim based on knowing participation in a breach of contract in Quebec should be pursued at the very least against the claimant's co-contractant and, if in doubt, against all of the relevant parties.

Q: Can't exec 'coremlc' (No such file or directory) for Xcode 10 Beta 6 I am trying to run some projects that use CoreML models in XCode 10 Beta 6 and I am using macOS Mojave Version 10.14 (18A384a). I can't build/run any of the demo projects or even the projects provided by Apple. The models cannot be compiled and I get the error "can't exec 'coremlc' (No such file or directory)". Any idea how to deal with this?

A: I did not change anything but unzipped the Xcode bundle again and it worked. I don't know exactly what caused the error.


Things quickly fell apart for Bayer Leverkusen just over on hour into their match against RB Leipzig on Saturday. After leading most of the match 2-1, Timo Werner tied things up with a solid strike from inside the box. Emil Forsberg then gave his squad a 3-2 lead over their opponents after converting a penalty in the 71st minute. It was then Matheus Cunha's turn to shut the door on a possible Leverkusen comeback, and he did so in quite filthy fashion.
Good lord, Cunha, those defenders have families they have to go back to!

Q: How to remove empty rows in NSTableView? I have a NSPopover window which contains a NSTableView. I want to remove empty row in the table view so I could use Auto Layout to make the popover window to fit the table view. Right now I have to assign a fixed size to the table view, which is not good because it will leave a lot of space in the window when there are few rows in the table view.
For iOS, the question and answer is Resizing UITableView to fit content. Unfortunately it does not apply to OS X.

A: An instance of NSTableView works differently to an instance of UITableView. Basically on OS X scrollable table views are an instance of NSScrollView that contains an instance of NSTableView as document view.

*

*NSScrollView and NSClipView

These two classes aren't part of the table view—nor are they required—but virtually all table views are displayed using the classes that make up the scroll view mechanism.

Apple Doc
This document view is clipped by a clip view ("The document area") of the scroll view, which is a subview of the scroll view itself.
Here you have a explanation of the scroll view hierarchy.
So the table view itself is a non-scrolling view, whose size is automatically adopted from its content (number of rows) – and everything you want and everything you need.
Therefore there are two ways to get your goal:

*

*"Operate" the table view out of its hierarchy: Use a single table view without its parent views. This is not what you get in IB, when you put a table view in a window. You have to do that manually or to construct the table view in your code.

*Resize the parental scroll view to the table view with autolayout.
I prefer the first approach, because I cannot see any reason to have a scroll view with a clip view around the table view, if there is nothing to scroll and clip. However, the second approach should work, too.
If you have questions, simply add it as comment.
Here is an example:
I made a video of it for better explanation
http://sendvid.com/0lu0tgda?secret=d7b751f9-a3e9-4cd1-9865-20884b0bd6c8
I put a "Tableview" (that means, what you get from IB, so it is a scroll view hierachy with a table inside) into a window and placed at at the left side. I did some bindings to get easy insert and remove. Just the usual stuff.
Then I have a method, replacing the scroll view with its table view:
- (IBAction)replaceView:(id)sender
{
  // Exchange the view
  NSView *contentView = self.scrollView.superview;
  NSTableView *tableView = self.tableView;

  [contentView addSubview:self.tableView];     // Isolate the table view and make it the new subview
  NSRect frame;
  frame.origin = self.scrollView.frame.origin; // Take the location from the scroll view
  frame.size = tableView.frame.size;           // Take the table views size
  tableView.frame = frame;
  [self.scrollView removeFromSuperview];       // Remove the meaningless scroll view

  // Size the window to the table view
  NSWindow *window = contentView.window;
  NSRect contentFrame = contentView.frame;
  contentFrame.size.height = frame.size.height;
  NSRect windowFrame = window.frame;
  windowFrame.size.height = [window frameRectForContentRect:contentFrame].size.height;
  [window setFrame:windowFrame display:YES];

  // Set constraints to make the window resizing, when table view resizes
  [contentView addConstraints:
  [NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"V:|[tableView]|" options:0 metrics:nil  views:NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings(tableView)]];
}

Yeah, you can beautify that in many directions. However, it is just to demonstrate what you have to do and which tools to use.

Barton le Clay Road Traffic Calming Works
The Barton-le-Clay Traffic Calming Plan was initiated in 2014 and the stated objective of the initiative is:
"A proposal by Barton-le-Clay Parish Council to solve excessive traffic speeds within the parish, thus improving safety for our children and elderly residents, reducing traffic induced noise levels and improving the quality of parish life for all our residents".
The initiative commenced due to the excessive traffic speeds encountered within the village resulting in the issues below:
Correspondence on excessive speeds goes back many years between parishioners, the parish council, local county councillors and various authorities including the police and CBC (Central Bedfordshire Council).
Residents are greatly concerned for their safety while walking on village footpaths due to excessive speeds by passing through traffic.
Residents are greatly concerned for their safety while crossing B class roads within the village due to excessive speeds by passing through traffic.
The excessive speeds by through traffic, and by passing traffic on the A6 bypass, is causing considerable vehicular noise pollution within the village.
Accidents and incidents are only avoided currently due to residents minimising general pavement pedestrian movement, restricting children's cycling within the village, parental escorting of children for all village activity and by severe restrictions on elderly residents movements.
The stress, anxiety, hazards and noise caused by the excessive traffic speeds is not a tolerable long term situation for the residents of Barton-le-Clay, with clear evidence of psychological retreat manifest.
From correspondence received to the PC (Parish Council), pleas and delegations to the PC in session and investigations conducted, it was clear that the vast majority of residents wanted the situation resolved by a comprehensive integrated traffic management plan.
CBC 2015 Speed Survey
The intolerable traffic speed situation was brought to the attention of Central Beds Council in 2014 and CBC commissioned an independent traffic speed survey. The key points of the survey were as follows:
The Survey was conducted over period 01 May to 30 May 2015 by independent consultants.
Survey Output Highlights:
Substantial excessive speed on all class B and C roads through Barton-le-Clay village.
Hexton Road (B655/30mph): Average Fastest Speed (7 day average): 63.1mph
Luton Road (B655/30mph): Average Fastest Speed (7 day average): 66.5mph
Sharpenhoe Road/30mph): Average Fastest Speed (7 day average): 50.4mph
Bedford Road/30mph: Average Fastest Speed (7 day average): 56.9mph
Higham Road/40mph: Average Fastest Speed (7 day average): 62.7mph
The Survey Output fully supported empirical observations by residents.
The Five Year Plan
Due to limitations on CBC budgets the only possible scheme available to the village and CBC was the utilisation of the Rural Match Funding (RMF) a scheme designed for 'minor' works whereby initiatives by Parish Council are funded jointly by the parish council themselves and the local council.
BPC submitted a five year plan in 2015 to CBC that would address (in co-operation with CBC expertise), the problem road by road and without too drastic an effect on the parish precept (the parish levy within the council tax).
The plan calls for one road calming measure to be introduced each year starting with the road that experiences the worst of the excessive speeds, in accordance with the CBC 2015 Speed Survey.
Thus in 2015 RMF was granted to introduce traffic calming works on the Luton Road, which has recently been completed. The calming measures are designed by road management experts and approved by CBC and are a combination of proven speed reduction measures.
Over the years there have been well intentioned calls for speed cameras on our village roads. This was investigated by the Parish Council and while speed cameras might be considered by many a 'prime solution' the fact is by law they cannot be installed, unless there is a history of local siting fatalities or another critical reason for installation.
It has been possible however to install a speed camera on the Hexton Road, opposite the Arnold Academy due to the unusual circumstances of pathway access to the school, which is permitted within the regulations. We would like to ensure residents of Hexton Road, and all residents using the footpath to/from School, Recreational Ground, Church, Graveyard and the Hills that the speed camera is not the total traffic calming solution for the road, just addressing the immediate problem of speed in the environs of the school.
Public Reaction
We are delighted to report that the reaction of the residents has been overwhelmingly supportive of the plan in general and the Luton Road works in particular. We have received highly positive feedback from residents of the Luton Road, supportive phone calls and positive reactions to both Parish Councillors and staff.
As might be expected there are a small number of negative reactions to the measure, many from those utilising Barton-le-Clay as a route to/from work. While we realise that at peak times the Luton Road measure (and measures to follow) will add minutes to those passing through Barton Village we hold the welfare of all our residents both young and old as our priority. We hope you will come to support us in time.
The Parish Council is very much looking forward to working closely with CBC, and achieving the required funding and design expertise to tackle the remainder of the village's roads, over the forthcoming four years. We look forward to the continued support of our residents.

SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. – The Mount Holyoke College swimming & diving team kicked-off its season in fine fashion on Friday evening, picking up several wins in a tough meet against Assumption College. The Greyhounds pulled away with a 157-114 victory, but the Lyons saw sophomore Bri Groves lead the way with three individual victories and a relay win.
MHC opened the meet with a solid start as senior Anne Kuenning (Bow, N.H./Bow), Groves (Reston, Va./South Lakes) and seniors Katie Tyler (Hadley, Mass./Hopkins Academy) and Emily Craig (Rochester, N.Y./Gates-Chili Senior) swam to victory in the 200-yard medley relay. The foursome posted a time of 1:54.46.
In the 1,000-yard freestyle, first year Natalie Burkett (Framingham, Mass./Framingham) opened her collegiate career with a fifth-place finish. She notched a time of 12:16.52. In the 200-yard free, Craig – a captain – swam to fifth with a mark of 2:06.76, while in the 100-yard backstroke, Kuenning was second overall with a time of 1:03.57.
Groves earned her first individual win of the meet in the 100-yard breaststroke, posting a time of 1:09.72. The Lyons grabbed another victory in the 50-yard free as Tyler touched the wall first with a mark of 25.79.
In the 100-yard free, Craig swam to fourth overall with a time of 57.60, while in the 200-yard back, Kuenning once again took second with a time of 2:18.91. In the 200-yard breast, junior Amy Lim (San Francisco, Calif./Lowell) was fifth with a time of 2:56.48.
Groves rounded out the individual swims with two more victories, touching the wall first in the 100-yard butterfly with a mark of 1:00.77, while also claiming the win in the 200-yard individual medley. She recorded a time of 2:15.77 in the event, besting the second-place finisher by almost seven seconds (2:21.05).
In diving, Lyons first year Samantha Nemivant (Scottsdale, Ariz./Notre Dame Prep) picked up her first collegiate wins, taking the 1-meter board by a score of 247.20 points. She was also victorious on the 3-meter board, notching 198.45 points.
Rounding out the action was the foursome of Kuenning, Burkett, sophomore Delany Berry (Collinsville, Conn./Canton) and Lim, who posted a time of 1:53.26 in the 200-yard free relay to finish first overall.

The Bermuda Government still has a contract with local tech firm Trunomi to develop the Perseid electronic identification project, which uses blockchain technology.
David Burt, the Premier, told the House of Assembly during Premier's Question Time on Friday that the pilot project remained on the books.
However, he said that the Government was "looking to adjust its approach" rather than dealing with one vendor.
Mr Burt emphasised that the technology involved was developing rapidly, and that "multiple companies" could now use it to verify identities.
He added: "The Government is working with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on developing a framework, and looks forward to updating members once that has passed through Cabinet."
Responding to questions from Craig Cannonier, the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Burt said: "This is something we wanted to have done already."
But the Premier warned against getting locked into technology that was already becoming outdated.
The two parties have sparred repeatedly over the pace of developing the island's fintech sphere.
Questioned about the fintech development fund approved by Parliament in July 2018, Mr Burt conceded that no monies had been deposited so far.
He said: "When there are, I can assure members of the Opposition that they will know."
Meanwhile, during the motion to adjourn, Opposition backbencher Michael Dunkley lambasted the cryptocurrency firm Arbitrade as a "ghost company".
Criticising the apparent lack of movement over the firm, Mr Dunkley told MPs that the public had come to view Arbitrade as "a scam".
The Smith's North MP said the Government's hoped-for deals with Arbitrade had become "an embarrassment".
Last week The Royal Gazette reported that a promised $1 million investment by Arbitrade into fintech development had failed to materialise.
Although the Arbitrade group announced in October that it had acquired Victoria Hall, on Victoria Street, to serve as its world headquarters, it does not hold a licence to conduct digital asset business on the island.
Mr Dunkley said: "Arbitrade has failed to meet any of its promises. Government has supported them and Bermuda is embarrassed, and it must stop."
Wayne Caines, the Minister of National Security, said it was the Bermuda Monetary Authority that oversaw whether companies complied with their obligations.
On the fintech fund, Mr Caines said: "The money has been set aside. When the process has been completed, the money will be put in."
During a fractious exchange in which Dennis Lister, the Speaker of the House, threatened to stop the debate, Mr Caines insisted: "Now that the process is robust, and every stone is being overturned, we downplay the very processes we are doing?"

Preparation and biological activities of optically active dehydroxymethylepoxyquinomicin, a novel NF-κB inhibitor
Yoshikazu Suzuki, Chie Sugiyama, Osamu Ohno, Kazuo Umezawa
NF-κB is a transcription factor that induces inflammatory cytokines and anti-apoptotic proteins. We have designed a new NF-κB inhibitor based on the structure of the antibiotic epoxyquinomicin C. The designed compound, dehydroxymethylepoxyquinomicin (DHMEQ) was synthesized as a racemic form from 2,5-dimethoxyaniline through 5 steps. Application of racemic DHMEQ onto the chiral column (Chiralpak AD) directly gave enantiomeric DHMEQ after purification. (-)-DHMEQ was more potent than its enantiomer. (-)-DHMEQ was found to inhibit NF-κB activity and macrophage differentiation induced by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in human monocyte THP-1 cells.
