Researchers have identified a mechanism that controls the expression of genes regulating the growth of the most aggressive form of medulloblastoma, the most common pediatric brain tumor.
Mass. General research team shows a mechanism that controls the expression of important genes in medulloblastoma
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers have identified a mechanism that controls the expression of genes regulating the growth of the most aggressive form of medulloblastoma, the most common pediatric brain tumor. In their report published online in Cancer Discovery, the team also identifies potential targets for future treatments.
"We set out to find the most important regulators of gene expression programs in medulloblastoma," says senior author Miguel Rivera, MD, of the MGH Department of Pathology and the Center for Cancer Research. "To do that we used a powerful genomic technology called chromatin profiling to map all the genomic elements contributing to transcription regulation in Group 3 medulloblastoma – the most aggressive subtype. This goes beyond measuring gene expression because it tells you how genes are turned on and off."
Medulloblastoma is a fast-growing tumor that arises in the developing brain and most commonly affects children under the age of 10. Four molecular variants, each with different patterns of DNA alteration and gene expression, have been identified. Subtypes WNT and SSH are the best understood; the other two – Group 3 and Group 4 – are poorly understood and account for 60 percent of tumors.
Cells regulate whether specific genes are transcribed into RNA through the action of transcription factors, proteins that bind to DNA and either stimulate or suppress the expression of their target genes. Rivera's team used advanced genomic technologies to identify key DNA elements called enhancers that were active in primary Group 3 medulloblastoma samples and cell lines. The transcription factor OTX2, which plays a role in normal brain development and is known to be highly expressed in Group 3 medulloblastomas, was present at the majority of active enhancer sites in tumors, suggesting it may have a role in promoting the expression of tumor-associated genes.
Subsequent experiments revealed that OTX2 can function as a "pioneer factor," opening up chromatin – which consists of DNA wound around proteins called histones – to activate enhancers and that its function is amplified by a second transcription factor called NEUROD1. The investigators then identified a set of genes the expression of which was significantly reduced when OTX2 was suppressed. Among these genes, they found that expression of the kinase NEK2 responded to OTX2 levels and that its depletion or pharmacologic inhibition strongly reduced the growth and survival of medulloblastoma cells.
"Overall, our findings show that OTX2 is a critical factor in regulating gene expression programs in Group 3 medulloblastoma and possibly in the WNT and Group 4 subtypes, where it is also expressed," says Rivera, who is an assistant professor of Pathology at Harvard Medical School. "This work points to OTX2 itself and its target genes – including NEK2 – as potential therapeutic targets. Disruption of the relationship between OTX2 and NEUROD1 may also be a potential treatment strategy. We now need to get a more a detailed picture of the mechanisms OTX2 uses to activate enhancers and improve our understanding of the function of NEK2 and other target genes regulated by OTX2."

ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER stands for interest deficiency hyperactivity condition, one of the most usual youth problems. ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER was previously called ADD, or focus deficiency condition. Both grownups and also kids should have ADHD, however signs and symptoms constantly start in youth.
ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER is a persistent problem noted by relentless negligence, hyperactivity, as well as often impulsivity. ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER starts in youth and also commonly lasts right into their adult years. If left without treatment, ADHD might meddle that incorporates institution as well as job, as well as that incorporates psychological and also social property development.
ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER is a lot more typical in kids, whose impulsivity and also hyperactivity could look like disruptive actions. Inattentiveness is a trademark of ADHD in ladies, however considering that they typically aren't commonly disruptive in the class, they might be more difficult to detect.
ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER oftens run in family members. When a single person is detected that incorporates ADHD, there is a 25 % -35 % opportunity that one more relative will certainly additionally have the problem, as compared to 4 % -6 % of the public.
No person understands without a doubt whether ADHD is much more typical today, yet it is extremely clear that the variety of youngsters obtaining identified and also dealt with for ADHD has actually increased in time. Several of this boost in medical diagnosis as well as therapy is because of better understanding of the signs and also a growth of exactly what is taken into consideration ADHD. Some specialists really feel that ADHD mores than identified, while others feel it is under identified or under dealt with.


Second part of the workshop was much more diverse than the first one. Firstly, we had Ursa at our side – to give explanations, clear doubts and advise. Secondly, we invited a young boy – Damian – to be addition to our team and practice impro exercises with us. And last but not least – we organized a press conference to which we invited media and teachers to explain the idea of the project to them.
We were all surprised how well it went – not only did we practice but we also had enough time to talk, talk and talk – about future workshops, extra impro events that we plan and all that should and can happen in the project.

American Bride in Kabul
by Phyllis Chesler
DustJacket: Standard
List Price:0.00
Few westerners will ever be able to understand Muslim or Afghan society unless they are part of a Muslim family. Twenty years old and in love, Phyllis Chesler, a Jewish-American girl from Brooklyn, embarked on an adventure that has lasted for more than a half-century. In 1961, when she arrived in Kabul with her Afghan bridegroom, authorities took away her American passport. Chesler was now the property of her husbands family and had no rights of citizenship. Back in Afghanistan, her husband, a wealthy, westernized foreign college student with dreams of reforming his country, reverted to traditional and tribal customs. Chesler found herself unexpectedly trapped in a posh polygamous family. She fought against her seclusion and lack of freedom, her Afghan familys attempts to convert her from Judaism to Islam, and her husbands wish to permanently tie her to the country through childbirth. Drawing upon her personal diaries, Chesler recounts her ordeal, the nature of gender apartheid—and her longing to explore this beautiful, ancient, and exotic country and culture. An American Bride in Kabul re-creates a time gone by, a place that is no more, and shares the way in which Chesler turned adversity into a passion for world-wide social, educational, and political reform.
"Engrossing...Chesler adroitly blends her personal narrative with a riveting account of Afghanistan's troubled history, the ongoing Islamic/Islamist terrorism against Muslim civilians and the West, and the continuing struggle and courage of Afghan feminists."--Publishers Weekly
"No human culture compromises the rights of women more than Islam. Today over 700 million women are directly or indirectly affected by the Koran and the teachings of Mohammed. Phyllis Chesler is by far the bravest and most outspoken American feminist to address the plight of Muslim women. In this book she shares with the reader her first encounter with Islam in Afghanistan. It is a moving account of the harrowing experience of one woman who almost meets her death in a culture that could not be more alien to her American upbringing. Yet every page is laden with compassion and love for the ex-husband and his family she unwittingly joined. I recommend this book be put on the reading list of every American school." --Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Author of Infidel and Nomad
"Boom. Suddenly Phyllis Chesler is a prisoner in Afghanistan. Without a passport. As a wife without rights of any kind. Her bridegroom, once her equal when they met in New York, now in his own land, is a stranger…she is in an utterly male society where women and children are a mans property—"his to protect or abuse. They are his to kill. It is the way things are." This is disconcerting to say the least…She escapes. This is how it all started. This is a bold book; intimate and rich in detail; as revealing a story about class, gender and religious differences as one will find. Chesler is a voice crying out for women. She had the right training. She will never stop." --Kate Millett, author of Sexual Politics and Going to Iran
"This is a wondrous, invaluable memoir and meditation on women, culture, history, and the meaning of freedom. Phyllis Chesler tells a moving story in a direct, unaffected style and is able to draw conclusions of a wider import: reflections on the complex interplay of culture, more complex than the cliché of "a clash of cultures." Chesler is remarkably generous to her husband. In trying to understand him, she is able to tease out valuable historical and cultural lessons. After fifty years of reflection, Chesler is able to distil mature and wise judgments from her dramatic experience, on the persecution and suffering of Muslim women. Cheslers own feminism really began with these experiences in Afghanistan. One of the other merits of the book is her introduction to the reader of a whole host of writers, travelers, and diplomats who have written perceptively about Islamic countries in general but on Afghanistan in particular, especially the treatment of women and slaves." --Ibn Warraq, author of Why I am Not Muslim and Defending the West: A Critique of Edward Saids Orientalism
"With a deft pen and a half-century of experience, Chesler revisits her brief, unpleasant, but life-changing and ultimately precious time in an Afghan harem. Although hardly the only feisty Western woman to despair at finding, on their visiting his home country, her debonair Muslim husband turned into an unrecognizably primitive tyrant, she drew unique benefits from the experience. These included finding her career focus (feminism), her field of study (psychology), her world outlook (principled liberalism) -and this marvelous book." --Daniel Pipes, Director of the Middle East Forum, author of In the Path of God: Islam and Political Power.
"In her fascinating new memoir, Phyllis Chesler offers a vivid account of landing in Afghanistan in 1961 as a young bride - and finding herself a victim and virtual prisoner of that countrys cruel anti-women customs and habits. Ms. Chesler was only 20, the product of a sheltered Orthodox Jewish household in Brooklyn, when she married a fellow student, a Muslim who came from a prominent Kabul family. Her companion was seductive, exotic, alluring, and seemed to promise her the world. But Ms. Chesler, who would go on to become a famous feminist leader and the author of the classic Women and Madness, attributes some of her later accomplishments, including her passionate stance on behalf of women, to insights she gained in that period. She finds herself trapped in a household replete with madness, including a mother-in-law who is sadistic and punitive and a husband who emerges as mean and uncaring. Despite her in-laws wealth, she is often hungry, denied the foods that she can eat, and she cant even go out on her own to see a country she had longed to explore. Stripped of her U.S. passport when she landed, she finds her movements severely restricted. Many of the books insights about 1961 Kabul seem oddly relevant to Kabul in 2013 - a culture that, if possible, has become even more heinous to women with the advent of the Taliban. This is an eye-opening work." --Lucette Lagnado, author of The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit and The Arrogant Years
"With An American Bride in Kabul, Phyllis Chesler, brilliantly brings to life the plight of so many Muslim women helplessly trapped in the prison which is Islamist misogyny. Through the eyes of her innocent and insightful Brooklyn girl, Chesler provides humanity a service—a window into the internal workings of the male-dominated Islamist familial conspiracy against women. Her story is believable because it is sadly repeated millions of times around the globe. A must read, An American Bride will leave readers finally able to feel the powerlessness which overwhelms Muslim women who are victims of honor abuse and violence. Readers will leave understanding like so many Muslim reformers already do that Islamist misogyny is a Muslim problem that needs Muslim solutions." --M. Zuhdi Jasser, MD, President, American Islamic Forum for Democracy, author of The Battle for the Soul of Islam: An American Muslim Patriots Fight to Save His Faith.
"I love this book and could not put it down. It is the romantic and riveting story of a young woman from the orthodox Jewish neighborhood of Borough Park, who rebelled against a sheltered life in which women were religiously dominated by men and who then traveled to Afghanistan where she saw women who were far more oppressed and who lived under conditions of polygamy, purdah, poverty, and the burqa. This journey sowed the seeds of a very American feminism. We learn about other westerners, especially women, who travelled this route and we learn about the ancient history of the Afghan Jewish community. This book has the power to inspire a new kind of interfaith dialogue. Book club members will discuss this work for a good long time." --Rivka Haut, Author and Orthodox agunah activist, Co-Editor of Daughters of the King: Women and the Synagogue, Co-Editor of Women of the Wall, and Co-Editor of Shaarei Simcha Gates of Joy
"I loved every second of reading Cheslers amazing book. Kudos to her for standing in her truth. An American Bride in Kabul is a very courageous piece of work and I am in awe of Phyllis Cheslers determination to tell the truth of her experience, a truth which confirms the stories of so many Muslim women. I couldnt stop reading this book and felt Phylliss powerful words grabbing my heart and opening up the deep emotions. A must read!" --Soraya Miré, Author of The Girl With Three Legs
"Phyllis Chesler's An American Bride in Kabul is the most compelling autobiography I have read in a long time. It not only vividly tells us about womens lives in Afghanistan from the perspective of an American woman, but more importantly how and why American women fall into the trap of an Islamic marriage." --Nonie Darwish, author of The Devil We Dont Know: The Dark Side of Revolutions in the Middle East
"Phyllis Chesler's brilliant and courageous memoir will resound in your heart and mind long after you turn the final page. Dr. Chesler, an American Jewish woman, escaped from starvation and isolation in Afghanistan--and came close to death in the process. Perhaps most inspiring is Dr. Chesler's voyage in using those unimaginable experiences as a springboard to become a leader of women's rights around the globe. Her decades of academic and professional work advocating for women who cannot cry out for themselves is a tremendous legacy: the seeds of this deep calling were sown in Afghanistan and are now recounted here in this moving and marvelous book." --Sara Aharon, author of Kabul to Queens: The Jews of Afghanistan and Their Move to the United States
"Chesler pens a cautionary tale of the perils of far-flung passion and the hazards of romantic exoticism. In precise, pungent and, at times, granular detail, she summons a world festooned by fantasy and myth. In An American Bride in Kabul, she gives full-throated voice to the beguilements of the East, etching a portrait-in-the-round, at once grand and engrossing." --Michael Skakun, author of On Burning Ground: A Sons Memoir
"Phyllis Chesler's newest book is rich and operatic, taking us into a world few of us have known about, telling us in descriptive, historical, political, religious, and deeply personal detail things that can transform our ways of thinking and feeling about everything from interpersonal dynamics to global politics. And this book illuminates one major reason she has for decades been the insightful, ardent, tireless feminist educator and activist she became." --Paula J. Caplan, Ph.D., Harvard University psychologist and author of, among others, The Myth of Women's Masochism and Don't Blame Mother
"Intelligent, powerful and timely." —Kirkus
"Chesler pens a cautionary tale of the perils of far-flung passion and the hazards of romantic exoticism. In precise, pungent and, at times, granular detail, she summons a world festooned by fanatsy and myth. In An American Bride in Kabul, she gives full-throated voice to the beguilements of the East, etching a portrait-in-the-round, at once grand and engrossing." --Michael Skakun, author of On Burning Ground: A Sons Memoir

« Google Powers Push for Plug-In Hybrid Cars
New Effort to Harness Tidal Power in San Francisco Bay »
Google to Go Carbon Neutral by 2008
June 19, 2007 by Todd Woody
On the heels of its $11 million push for plug-in hybrids, Google today said it will aim to generate 50 megawatts of renewable energy for its data centers by 2012 as part of its goal to carbon neutralize its operations by the new year. "Towards this end, we will set an internal cost of carbon voluntarily by using a 'shadow price,' the theoretical cost of carbon that we expect under a regulatory market," Google (GOOG) stated, a day after it put its 1.6 megawatt solar array – the
largest commerical solar installation in the U.S. – into operation at the company's Silicon Valley headquarters. "This will allow us to make operational decisions as if there were already a price on carbon. That in turn enables us to include the true cost of power as one of the key criteria in site selection for our data centers – a cost not yet being recognized by the market, but one that will soon become real through carbon legislation. This is an important tool to reduce the financial risk that our energy investments face, and when evaluating power options, it will also put renewable energy on a level playing field."
Google will tap solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and other renewable energy sources depending on the location of the facility, Google energy strategist Bill Weihl told Green Wombat through a spokesperson. The green electricity may generated on-site or elsewhere.
The search giant will purchase carbon offsets to cover emissions it does not directly eliminate. "As a start, we�ve calculated our own carbon footprint by taking into account the emissions from purchased electricity, employee commuting, business travel, construction, and the manufacturing of our servers," Google said. "And we�ve partnered with the Environmental Resources Trust to have our footprint independently verified." The company also said it will press for public policies to establish energy efficiency standards, renewable energy requirements, public funding for clean energy R&D and the setting of a price on greenhouse gas emissions.

A Sunday ride with our buddy Bill mugging on the Polaris.
"Snowmobiling? It's supposed to be 50 degrees tomorrow?" Clearly my buddy didn't understand: There's still snow out there if you're willing to chase it!
The snow has admittedly been disappearing quickly here in the Upper Midwest. While our friends in Maine have been posting grooming pictures, others in New York showing big snowfalls and of course most mountain areas still offering good riding, the snowpack has been disappearing faster than anticipated relatively close to the Snow Goer offices. But, with aftermarket product testing left to do, a pre-production 2020 Polaris 600 Indy Adventure 137 sitting in our shop plus new skis to test from Ski-Doo, we were in no mood to shut 'er down for the season. With birds loudly singing the sounds of spring in the front yard Saturday afternoon, we packed our gear bag and made plans for an escape on Sunday.
We got an early start out of the Minneapolis area and trailered up to Finland, Minnesota, where we planned to ride a couple of state trails, take in the sights, log some more miles and get some work done. It worked out expertly. The crusty trails weren't perfect – some sections were great and others were choppy and a local groomer said they are likely done maintaining the trails for the season. But still, it was awesome getting out and riding some more, and a heck of a lot better than watching college basketball.
For 2020, Ski-Doo will be using a slightly modified keel on the Pilot TS skis on trail machines. The skis are so new that they weren't even ready when we and other media outlets tested the 2020 units four weeks ago at the annual Rode Reports/Snow Shoot event, but Ski-Doo's hyper-capable marketing folks shipped us a pair of boards to install onto our 2019 demo units. Sunday morning we affixed them to our 2019 MXZ X-RS 600 E-TEC.
The new-for-2020 skis is black while the Pilot TS ski from our 2019 MXZ is in yellow. Look closely at the black ski and you'll see where the keel was expanded forward.
Once on the trail, our initial impressions were favorable, but ultimately we'll have to give the skis a grade of "Incomplete" due entirely to the conditions of the trails – not the skis. The skis feature more keel at the front. To hear Ski-Doo engineers tell the story, the adjustable Pilot TS skis worked great on sleds in the REV-XS chassis when they were introduced, but to truly shine in all snow conditions on the more forward-canted REV Gen-4 chassis machines, they needed to be adjusted.
Sure enough, we felt the handling with the new skis was improved slightly, particularly in sloppy, loose snow, giving the MXZ on which they were attached a more positive feeling when zipping in and out of turns. However, as noted, we'd want to test them in more (and more "normal") conditions than what we experienced yesterday in Northern Minnesota before offering a final verdict. Also, we have since learned that Ski-Doo itself is still testing modified versions, so nothing is final at this point.
The brilliant blue color on this particular sled made it headturning all on its own, but the new-for-2020 137-inch Indy models platform also caught the attention of these particularly savvy riders, who knew they were looking at something for the future.
The Indy Adventure was a joy to ride in these conditions – the front end handling through rather choppy conditions never failed or surprised us, always going exactly where we wanted it to. The rear suspension was good, too, though it still didn't have the energy absorbing magic of the rMotion on the MXZ we had with us.
Interestingly enough, when we stopped for our first fuel stop about 50 miles into the ride, the Ski-Doo E-TEC took 3.61 gallons to fill, and we then stuck the gas pump nozzle in the Polaris and filled it, running the pump up to 7.22 gallons. Go ahead and do the math: They took the same EXACT amount of fuel on that section of trail, down to the hundredth!
After riding the CJ Ramstad North Shore State Trail north from Finland up to the Lutsen turnoff, then bombing some local trails down to Lutsen, then Tofte, then going back up and over the hill, we eventually wound our way back to the famous Trestle Inn Saloon for a late lunch at about 4 p.m. Pulling into the lot, we were excited to see a FAST Blade IW-X snowmobile in the lot. Standing outside at looking at it, I told my relatively newbie riding partner for the day the history of the Blade and how it was a passion project of the Karpik brothers of nearby Eveleth, Minnesota, in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
We then walked inside the Trestle Inn for lunch, and sitting at a table at the back of the joint were the actual inventors of that sled! Snowmobile Hall of Famers Gerard and David Karpik were enjoying a bacon cheeseburger and a bowl of chili, respectively. It was great bumping into these old friends, and we made plans to riding with Gerard later this week on one of his new suspension setups.
I sure hope you get a chance to ride with Garard and his new suspension setup. If you can try and keep him insight…..

Top-rated Florida target Tedarrell Slaton commits to Gators on National Signing Day
Image Credit: 247Sports
If the rest of 2017 National Signing Day can play out like the first hour did for the Florida Gators, no one would have anything to complain about. Minutes after the day truly began, four-star lineman Tedarrell Slaton (Fort Lauderdale, FL) committed to the Gators during a ceremony at American Heritage High School.
Slaton (6-foot-5, 360 pounds) primarily committed to Florida over Georgia and joins the Gators looking to play on the defensive line, though he also played offensive line in high school and excelled at both positions.
He's rated 69th nationally in the 247Sports Composite, making him Florida's highest-ranked commitment of the cycle, which is not expected to change by the end of the day. Slaton is also the Gators' only U.S. Army All-American of 2017.
The commitment by Slaton continues positive momentum that has been built up by Florida. He's the program's fifth commitment in as many days, three of which are four-star prospects.
Be sure to check out live coverage of National Signing Day here at OnlyGators.com where we will talk more about Slaton's commitment and the rest of the Gators' 2017 class.

Wow! When you have a beautiful model, a fantastic old truck, and great light, you get magic! Just be sure to watch out for rattlesnakes while you work. We were taking Jamie's senior pictures at the ag farm at the school when I almost stepped on a big one. Jamie ran it over a couple of times, but the dirt was too soft to flatten it, so it slithered off. She was disappointed–she wanted to hold the dead snake up with her antler trophies!

11 March: Peter Fishpool
John Arnold, who had been on the same course as Peter at Portsmouth College of Education (PCE) in 1971 introduced Peter. After training at PCE Peter taught a Crookhorn and then at Dartington Hall school in Devon. From 1990 to 2001 he was the Communications Secretary for the Religious Society of Friends in Britain and from 2001 to 2013 CEO of Christian Education.
From 2013 to the present he is the UK Convener and Company Director of The Male Journey Ltd and the Correspondent Treasurer of the George Gorman Memorial Fund.
In he talk Peter quoted from the film "Brave Heart": Every man dies but not every man lives. He asked "How are you living your Christian life?"
He also read the poem The Summer Day by Mary Olive:
The Summer Day
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away. I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Peter said that men are not good at sharing from the heart and need a buddy system to support each other. he provided the following statistics (click on a date to see origin of data):
In the UK, men are three times as likely to take their own lives than women. (2017)
Males accounted for 66% of all alcohol-related deaths in the UK in 2016
In every age category, from 16-24 years to aged 75+, men show signs of drug dependence more than their female counterparts. (2018)
Men were more likely to be victims of Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) violent crime than women (2.1% of males compared with 1.3% of females. This was true for all types of violence, with the exception of acquaintance violence which showed no significant difference and domestic violence which showed the reverse trend (0.4% of females were victims compared to 0.2% of males) (2017)
The number of men in prison (2017) was 80,794 (95.3%); the number of women was 3,952 (4.7%)
In the year 2017/18 596,000 men were arrested in England and Wales; the corresponding figure for women was 103,000 - a ratio of men to women of almost 6:1.
The British Crime Survey 2009/10 showed that men were at greater risk of personal crime and violence than women. Women were at higher risk of theft from the person and intimate violence.
In many societies, and particularly in the past, young men or boys undertook a rite of passage, proving themselves before their tribe or community.
Peter has become involved in a modern version of rites of passage through organisations such as The Male Journey, The Mankind Project and The New Warrior Adventure Training.
He commended what we are doing in Men's Group in the way in which we seek to support and encourage each other.


Autistic teenager bashed by group..
An autistic teenager who was brutally bashed on the bus by a group of Sudanese youths says he's too scared to leave the house.
Max, 17, was travelling by himself on the bus at Tarneit on Saturday afternoon when the group approached him and demanded his phone and Nike sneakers.
'When he wouldn't hand them over, they attacked him,' Max's distraught mother told 3AW Mornings on Tuesday.
Max spoke with 3AW Drive later that day.
'I'm scared to leave the front door of my house,' he said.
His mother called on the government to act.
'For Christ's sake just open your eyes and see what's going on around you,' Julie said.
'There will be more than one life taken soon.

Q: jquery - get a set of matched dom elements I have a page with div elements everywhere.
What's the best way to get the div elements with a custom ID tag.
e.g.
john
,
Chris

I'm using this function to look for div elements with rIndex attribute. And I want to put those div elements into an array so I can do further processing.
$("div").each(function(index){

      if($(this).attr("rindex"))
      {
     results[index] = $(this);
      }
});
alert(results[0])

But the alert message is returning me a function definition, not the element.

A: Custom attributes are done like this (w3c) :

john

A: You can simply use this jQuery selector:
$('div[rIndex]')

But, as a side note, can I suggest declaring the divs in this manner instead:

and then using this selector:
$('div[data-index]')

Then your code complies with html standards.

A: The Has Attribute selector supports custom attributes:
alert($("div[rIndex]")[0]);

That said, Yoda is right: in this situation, you should prefer the custom data attributes defined in HTML5:

john

alert($("div[data-rIndex]")[0]);

A: HTML

john

Chris

JavaScript
var results = [];
$("div[data-rIndex]").each(function(index){

  if($(this).data("rindex"))
  {
 results[index] = $(this);
  }
});
alert($(results[0]).html()); //should alert 'john'

I tidied your HTML up a bit, working demo here - http://jsfiddle.net/aerj4/
If you want an array of the divs, you could do this -
var results = [];
$("div[data-rIndex]").each(function(index){

  if($(this).data("rindex"))
  {
 results[index] = this;
  }
});
alert(results[0])//alerts [object HTMLDivElement]

New laws require six regulations to implement fully
At least half a dozen of new regulations are required to implement the Civil and Criminal Codes that came into effect on Friday.
They replace more than a century old General Code called Muluki Ain first promulgated by Jung Bahadur Rana 165 years ago.
The codes endorsed by the Legislature-Parliament in August 2017 bring huge changes in the civil and criminal proceedings of the country. They elicited mixed reactions from different sectors.
The national gazette would soon publish the regulations concerning courts proceedings while others would be tabled soon in the Cabinet for endorsement.
The Supreme Court has authority to finalise the regulations related to court proceedings while the Cabinet has to endorse the others.
Ministry of Law and Justice Spokesperson Ramesh Dhakal said the apex court has approved Regulations Related to Court's Proceedings, Civil Proceedings and Criminal Proceedings.
Dhakal said some others like Regulation on Investigation of Criminal Offence and Civil Offences have been finalised by the Ministry and forwarded to the Cabinet soon.
Regulations concerning the High Courts and District Courts are under formulation.
"The new codes are already effective, but we need the regulations to ease the implementation process by the concerned authorities," Dhakal told the Post.
Legal experts say as the Civil and Criminal Codes directly guide routine law and order their implementation does not stop because of the lack of regulations. Police have started investigation process based on the new codes as well as the courts.
"The regulations are must to facilitate the implementation process," Advocate Om Prakash Aryal told the Post.
The new national laws have brought many changes in the existing legal proceedings. Some provisions faced criticised for ambiguity because they give scope
for multiple interpretations that the government could use to target media or an individual.
Although there has been wide spread criticism of some of the provisions related to privacy, Nepal Communist Party leaders spiritedly defend it.
Senior Advocate Ram Narayan Bidari also a member of National Assembly from the NCP claims privacy laws are strong everywhere in the world.
"The provisions regarding right to privacy doesn't affect free press," he told the Post. "I don't accept the argument that it needs to be reviewed."

Rebekah Jones, the COVID Whistleblower Who Wasn't
May 13, 2021 May 13, 2021 Mary Pat Campbell
Link: https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/05/rebekah-jones-the-covid-whistleblower-who-wasnt/
There is an extremely good reason that nobody in the Florida Department of Health has sided with Jones. It's the same reason that there has been no devastating New York Times exposé about Florida's "real" numbers. That reason? There is simply no story here. By all accounts, Rebekah Jones is a talented developer of GIS dashboards. But that's all she is. She's not a data scientist. She's not an epidemiologist. She's not a doctor. She didn't "build" the "data system," as she now claims, nor is she a "data manager." Her role at the FDOH was to serve as one of the people who export other people's work—from sets over which she had no control—and to present it nicely on the state's dashboard. To understand just how far removed Jones really is from the actual data, consider that even now—even as she rakes in cash from the gullible to support her own independent dashboard—she is using precisely the same FDOH data used by everyone else in the world. Yes, you read that right: Jones's "rebel" dashboard is hooked up directly to the same FDOH that she pretends daily is engaged in a conspiracy. As Jones herself confirmed on Twitter: "I use DOH's data. If you access the data from both sources, you'll see that it is identical." She just displays them differently.
Or, to put it more bluntly, she displays them badly. When you get past all of the nonsense, what Jones is ultimately saying is that the State of Florida—and, by extension, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—has not processed its data in the same way that she would if she were in charge. But, frankly, why would it? Again, Jones isn't an epidemiologist, and her objections, while compelling to the sort of low-information political obsessive she is so good at attracting, betray a considerable ignorance of the material issues. In order to increase the numbers in Florida's case count, Jones counts positive antibody tests as cases. But that's unsound, given that (a) those positives include people who have already had COVID-19 or who have had the vaccine, and (b) Jones is unable to avoid double-counting people who have taken both an antibody test and a COVID test that came back positive, because the state correctly refuses to publish the names of the people who have taken those tests. Likewise, Jones claims that Florida is hiding deaths because it does not include nonresidents in its headline numbers. But Florida does report nonresident deaths; it just reports them separately, as every state does, and as the CDC's guidelines demand. Jones's most recent claim is that Florida's "excess death" number is suspicious. But that, too, has been rigorously debunked by pretty much everyone who understands what "excess deaths" means in an epidemiological context—including by the CDC; by Daniel Weinberger, an epidemiologist at the Yale School of Public Health; by Lauren Rossen, a statistician at the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics; and, most notably, by Jason Salemi, an epidemiologist at the University of South Florida, who, having gone to the trouble of making a video explaining calmly why the talking point was false, was then bullied off Twitter by Jones and her followers.

How Drawing Makes Us Better at Data Visualization
February 25, 2021 February 25, 2021 Mary Pat Campbell
Once I've selected lots of individual graphs to use, I often need to arrange them together on a page or screen.
For example, if I'm designing an infographic, the one-page summary might involve three, four, or five individual graphs.
Or, if I'm designing a dashboard, the screen might involve three, four, or five individual graphs.
I need to decide which graph should be displayed first, second, or third. Is there a natural sequence?
I also need to decide which graphs "go together." Is there a natural grouping? A categorization? Similar graphs should be next to each other on the infographic or dashboard.
I use a pen and paper to sketch what that page could look like.

Being in the center of GOD'S will is like being in the eye of a hurricane, there is calm, peace and safety in the center (eye) of the hurricane. The rest of the hurricane is vicious and unforgiving and that is what life is like at times when we are outside of GOD'S will. The Bible is full of scriptures that reveal to us what GOD'S will is and how to live it for Him.
Our heavenly Father wants good blessings for us like, wisdom, health, finances, and safety. He desires to give us wonderful lives to live for Him! I find that this is totally possible through the choices we make, and GOD gives us the ability to make those choices.
My hope is that in the pages of this website you'll find yourself inspired by the words of life you read here, and encouragement through scriptures, videos, and pictures. I will be adding new articles and poems to the pages: Spirit/Mind/Body and Words of Encouragement fairly often.
It is wonderful when GOD saves a person, and GOD'S, Holy Spirit then lives inside of us. GOD'S, Holy Spirit is greater in spiritual strength than Satan!
Welcome to www.AccountableChristianEncouragement.com, I invite you to stay awhile and enjoy your time here!


Wireless communication between mobile weighing systems and smartphones, tablets or network PCs. Discover the benefits of RAVAS Connect Me.
if stock discrepancies came to light immediately, rather than only after production comes to a standstill?
if you knew how much waste you were generating during the production process?
if order picking errors were a thing of the past?
if you always sent exactly the right amount of goods?
if there were no longer any risk of overloaded forklift trucks?
Join those who have already made the transition to Industry 4.0 and make your internal logistics smarter and more efficient through sophisticated connectivity.
RAVAS Connect Me offers solutions for more efficient warehouse management, smarter shipping and more streamlined production. From a handy app to complete integration with your Warehouse Management System or ERP system.
RAVAS produces weighing systems that are built into the forks of warehouse trucks and forklift trucks – tools that save you lots of time.
And it goes without saying that you want to take maximum advantage of the data you collect. For example, for process control and optimisation, quality management, tracking & tracing, benchmarking and management information. Our mobile weighing systems have WiFi and Bluetooth, so they can communicate with smartphones, tablets and network PCs.
RAVAS WeightsApp is the handy mobile app from RAVAS, a low-cost solution for collecting and sending weighing data.
The app stores the weighed gross weights, along with tare weight, product code, date & time and ID of the device or operator. You can review that data whenever you want. You can also send it to any email address as a CSV file, after which it can be imported in a spreadsheet program on a PC.
With WeightsApp you can download a log file from the RAVAS indicator and send it to us as a CSV file. When a fault occurs, this gives us faster insight into the causes, enabling us to resolve the problem quicker, and sometimes even using remote access. This saves you time and expense!
Besides that, the app is also just really handy for reading out measurement results. Ideal in every situation where you are too far from the indicator.
The RAVAS WeightsAPP is a free app for smartphones and tablets. It is available for both Android and iOS (Apple) and can be downloaded from Google Play and the Apple Store. You can use the app in combination with the new RAVAS indicators 3200 and 5200, both of which feature Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) data output as standard.
With the RAVAS RDC software, in combination with RAVAS indicators 3200 and 5200, you collect the data from your mobile weighing system effortlessly and securely on a network PC.
The software generates a CSV file with gross, net and tare weights, product ID, date & time and scale ID.
The RAVAS 3200 and 5200 indicators can be equipped with a WLAN module, using the RDC protocol. With a press of the PRINT key on these indicators you send all the data from a weighing directly to the PC with the RDC software.
These indicators also include a buffer where weighings can be temporarily stored – handy if the weighing system is temporarily out of range of the WLAN. The 3200 can store up to 8 weighings locally, and the 5200 has a buffer for up to 800 weighings. In addition, the RDC software allows you to retrieve a log file in which you can see when an indicator was started.
The information that RAVAS RDC collects can be accessed not only on the network PC but also on a tablet or other smart device via the web browser and WLAN.
RAVAS RDC runs under Windows and uses the WLAN in the warehouse to collect data from the indicators of the weighing system. The RAVAS RDS software is delivered with a licence key for a one-time payment.
Want to truly get the most out of your weighing data? Then choose RIS for complete integration of your mobile weighing system with your WMS/ERP system. RIS allows you to establish two-way communication between RAVAS mobile weighing systems in a warehouse via a WLAN to any WMS/ERP system. This enables you to efficiently make optimal use of weighing data.
Integration of this kind is, of course, customization work, but with RIS everything has been made as simple as possible. The installation can be performed locally by your own software expert, optionally with remote support from RAVAS. Setting up the integration requires no complex programming at the ASCII character level. RIS makes use of RESTful APIs, and therefore browser commands are all you need. This means you can do a lot yourself.
The RAVAS RIS software runs under Windows and is delivered with a licence key for a one-time payment.

Franjo II. (franc: François II) (19. siječnja 1544. – 5. prosinca 1560.), francuski kralj od 1559. – 1560. godine

Iznenadna smrt Henrika II. 1559. godine tijekom viteškog dvoboja na prijestolje Francuske postavlja njegovog petnaestogodišnjeg sina slaboga zdravlja Franju II.

Kratkotrajna vladavina ovog kralja rezultira jačanjem prokatoličke frakcije i jačanjem mjera protiv Hugenota .

Nakon smrti Franje II. naslijedio ga je brat Karlo IX., kralj Francuske.
