Could scientists peek into your dreams? (w/ video)
April 4, 2013 by Barbara Bronson Gray, Healthday Reporter
In small study, computer programs and brain MRIs identified visual images during sleep.
(HealthDay)—Talk about mind reading. Researchers have discovered a potential way to decode your dreams, predicting the content of the visual imagery you've experienced on the basis of neural activity recorded during sleep.
Visual experiences you have when dreaming are detectable by the same type of brain activity that occurs when looking at actual images when you're awake, the small new study suggests.
The scientists created decoding computer programs based on brain activity measured while wide-awake study participants looked at certain images. Then, right after being awakened from the early stages of sleep, the researchers asked the subjects to describe the dream they were having before being disturbed.
The researchers used functional MRI to monitor brain activity of the participants and polysomnography to record the physical changes that occur during sleep. They compared evidence of brain activity when participants were awake and looking at real images to the brain activity they saw when participants were dreaming, when they were in light—or early—sleep. Functional MRIs directly measure blood flow in the brain, providing information on brain activity.
Published April 4 in the journal Science, the study shows it may be possible to use brain activity patterns to understand something about what a person is dreaming about, according to Yukiyasu Kamitani, lead author and head of neuroinformatics at ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories, in Kyoto, Japan.

"Our current approach requires the data of image viewing and sleep within the same [person]," Kamitani said. "But there are methods being developed for aligning brain patterns across people. It may become possible to build a decoder that works for different people with a small amount of data for calibration."
While the research may conjure up images of science fiction movies—such as aliens from another planet finding a way to reveal our most private mental activities— there are practical applications to the research, Kamitani said.
"There is evidence suggesting that the pattern of spontaneous brain activity is relevant to health issues, including psychiatric disorders," Kamitani explained. "Our method could relate spontaneous brain activity to waking experience, potentially providing clues for better interpretations of [brain activity]."
The research involved only three participants, who, over seven or 10 sleep "experiences," were awakened and asked for a visual report a minimum of 200 times each.
The authors gave an example of what a study participant said when awakened: "Yes, well, I saw a person. It was something like a scene. I hid a key in a place between a chair and a bed, and someone took it." Researchers then compared the participant's description to the functional MRI activity pattern before awakening. This pattern was put through a machine learning decoder assisted by vocabulary and image databases. The system's prediction identified a man, a key, a bed and a chair, which compared closely to the participant's immediate report.
The researchers chose to awaken the subjects in light sleep rather than in deeper "rapid eye movement" (REM) sleep solely to make the research easier to do. Kamitani said that because it takes at least an hour to reach first REM stage, it would be difficult to get sleep and dream data from multiple participants. "REM dreams may contain richer contents, so we are interested in decoding REM dreams in the future," he said.
Although this study doesn't help identify why people dream, it could potentially be useful in advancing understanding, Kamitani said. "I believe our method may provide a tool for investigating what is the function of dreaming."
As to why it is so hard to remember a dream minutes after waking up, Kamitani said he thinks it is because particular neurotransmitters or brain regions involved in memory are not active during sleep. But he hopes his research will help explain.
"During sleep and dreaming, part of the brain—the higher visual cortex—is working as if seeing images," he said. "Since the contents of a verbal report were predicted only from brain activity immediately before awakening—zero to 15 seconds before—[it may be that we] only remember contents related to brain activity [we experience] immediately before we wake up."
While one expert said the results are intriguing, he was cautious. "The results are interesting, but in view of previous disappointments relating brain activity to complex visual experience, one would like to see this replicated," said Dr. Irwin Feinberg, a professor emeritus at the University of California, Davis.
Feinberg emphasized that the research was not designed to determine a cause-and-effect relationship. "It's a correlation of brain activity and visual experience, largely statistical and purely by association," he said. "It does not shed light on the function of sleep or the function of dreaming within sleep."
But Feinberg said the researchers' focus on non-REM sleep is interesting and valuable. "Non-REM sleep constitutes 75 percent of our sleep; REM is only 25 percent. Nature knows what it needs, so the fact that non-REM occupies such a large percentage and occurs first suggest that it is of far greater importance than is REM."

HTC has launched a new smartphone under the mid-range segment, the HTC Desire 12s. The smartphone is launched in Taiwan but also listed on the company's Middle East and Africa website.
HTC has launched a very few smartphones in recent days and its latest offerings include Desire 12+ and Desire 12. The highlight feature of the of the HTC Desire 12s is the 13-megapixel camera both on the front and rear.
It has a unique striped dual finish design giving it striking looks and a grip that your hand will love. However, the top and bottom bezels are thick which is something we don't expect in the time when phones are coming with almost bezel-less displays.
The Desire 12s is a mid-range phone so we can't expect powerful specs, still, it has got decent features. An Octo-Core Snapdragon 435 chipset which is in a combination of 3GB/4GB of RAM and 32GB/64GB internal storage. The phone has a 5.7-inch HD+ display having an 18:9 aspect ratio and 720×1440 pixels resolution.
The rear camera is 13-megapixel equipped with LED flash, phase detection autofocus and capable of recording 1080 pixel video recording. The front also has a 13-megapixel selfie sensor with LED flash. There is a 3,075 mAh battery and offers 4G VoLTE connectivity, Bluetooth 4.2, and Wi-Fi 802.11b / g / n.
For location, it has a GPS antenna with GLONASS, NFC feature for sharing, 3.5mm audio jacks, and micro-USB port. The smartphone runs Android 8.1 with HTC Sense.
As mentioned above, the HTC Desire 12s is launched in Taiwan but also listed on the Middle East and Africa website, so we can expect it going global. The pricing of 3GB RAM and 32 GB of storage variant is NT$5,990 (around INR 13,900).
The price of 4GB RAM and 64 GB storage model is NT$6,990 (around INR 16,200). It'll be available in Red, Black, and Silver color options.

All Who Belong May Enter
Winner of the 2020 Nonfiction Prize, selected by Jaquira Díaz
Genre: New Releases, Nonfiction
Publishers Weekly Review
By Nick Ward
Nicholas Ward's debut essay collection, All Who Belong May Enter, centers on self-exploration and cultural critique. These deeply personal essays examine whiteness, masculinity, and a Midwest upbringing through tales of sporting events, parties, posh (and not-so-posh) restaurant jobs, and the many relationships built and lost along the way. With a storyteller's spirit, Ward recounts and evaluates the privilege of his upbringing with acumen and vulnerability. Ward's profound affection for his friends, family, lovers, pets, and particularly for his chosen home, Chicago, shines through. This collection offers readers hope for healing that comes through greater understanding and inquiry into one's self, relationships, and culture. Through these essays, Ward acknowledges his position within whiteness and masculinity, and he continuously holds himself and the society around him accountable.
Praise for All Who Belong May Enter
Well observed and curious, these essays will appeal to readers who, like Ward, are sensitive to inequality but unsure how to combat it.
In All Who Belong May Enter, Ward thoughtfully and honestly interrogates aspects of masculinity and how it affects his relationships and how he moves through the world. He expands his personal story to explore how gentrification has changed cities like Detroit and Chicago, considering white silence and complicity. An introspective, beautifully written work.
—Jaquira Díaz, author of Ordinary Girls
Nick Ward's work reads like you're swapping stories with your new best friend over a beer or two or five while simultaneously offering a deep interrogation of the places and institutions that make us who we are. In deeply felt, near-cinematic essays about his Midwest suburban childhood, his years in the restaurant industry, a zigzagging career in the arts, and the love and friendships that define him, Ward challenges us to be better—better thinkers, better partners, better citizens. All Who Belong May Enter is a bridge into complicated and vital conversations about masculinity and violence, whiteness and responsibility, and the people we want to be in this beautiful mess of a world. All of us belong to this work. Let's get to it.
—Megan Stielstra, author of The Wrong Way to Save Your Life
Nicholas Ward is a personal essayist, arts administrator, and company member with 2nd Story, a storytelling community. His work has appeared in Catapult, The Billfold, Bird's Thumb, Midwestern Gothic, Hinterland Magazine, and Belt Publishing's Chicago Neighborhood Guidebook. He lives in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, works as the booking manager at Young Chicago Authors, and is a community organizer with the 48th Ward Neighbors […]

Q: Como acessar um módulo Cocoa Touch Framework no Playground Swift Criei um módulo Cocoa Touch Framework no Xcode 6.0.1 com Classe implementada em Swift e consigo importa na minha View Controller e usá-la normalmente. O problema que o não consigo usar o mesmo código no Playground criado no mesmo projeto.
No Playground o modulo é reconhecido mas a classe contida nele não.

Minha classe é declarada em JSON.swift assim:
public class JSON {
    // meu código Swift
}

A: Tente isso no seu Playground do Xcode 6.0.1
import Foundation
let jsonObject: [AnyObject] = [
  ["name": "João", "age": 20],
  ["name": "Pedro", "age": 45],
]
func JSONStringify(jsonObj: AnyObject) -> String {
  var e: NSError?
  let jsonData: NSData! = NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(
    jsonObj,
    options: NSJSONWritingOptions(0),
    error: &e)
  if e != nil {
    return ""
  } else {
    return NSString(data: jsonData, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
  }
}
let jsonString = JSONStringify(jsonObject)
println(jsonString)

Funciona no Mavericks
Desta forma funciona pois você está delegando o trabalho de serialização à classe NSJSONSerialization da biblioteca padrão
Ou seja, seu código Swift é apenas um Wrapper.
A deserialização também pode ser feita de forma análoga.

A: Por defeito as classes têm visibilidade internal. Apenas é necessário colocar a classe como pública e já ficas com o acesso.
public class Foo {
    public init() {
    }
}

A lot has changed since our last news roundup as cryptocurrency markets have dipped a bit in value since. At the time of writing Bitcoin (BTC) has an average price of around $6150 per coin and the total valuation of all 1600+ coins is around $248 billion today. Other cryptocurrencies such as ETH ($439), ETC ($15), LTC ($80), BCH ($720), QTUM ($8.60), XRP ($0.47), and ADA ($0.12) are all seeing market consolidation during this interesting year.
Cryptocurrency markets have been consolidating into a tight triangular pattern this week as many markets have seen losses between 8-20 percent but since then most of the top digital assets have spiked 1-7 percent over the last 24-hours. At the moment the number one cryptocurrency according to market valuation, Bitcoin (BTC), has seen nine-week high as far as market dominance is concerned. Today BTC's overall valuation amongst all the other digital assets is 42.4 percent. Bitcoin and Ethereum markets have seen a nice spike two weeks ago when the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission detailed that decentralized cryptocurrencies like ETH and BTC were not deemed securities under U.S. law.
This week in the Ethereum realm Stanford University students created 16 Ethereum-Based dApps (decentralized applications) as a demonstration for the schools' active blockchain deployment. Participants of Stanford's CS 359B program called "Designing Decentralized Applications on Blockchain," build the applications using the Ethereum network. "Alongside lectures, there will be a quarter-long project where students design, implement and evaluate a novel distributed application on a modern blockchain, such as the ones of the Ethereum or NEO cryptocurrencies," explains the program.
This week Bitcoin Cash (BCH) fans saw the launch of the new Github tipping application Gitcash.io. The application allows developers using the popular platform Github to tip each other in BCH. A great majority if not all cryptocurrency developers use Github to host their open source code online so people can use it, contribute to the software, and even fork the program. GitCash is a Bitcoin Cash tipping platform for Github! We support custom user profiles, complete tipping histories, and custom BIP38 paper wallets," explains the Gitcash.io developers.
The Cardano (ADA) team has sent out their newsletter which details the developer's roadmap for Q3 2018. The ADA wallet has seen a significant improvement over the last 11 days since the client now syncs to the Cardano chain instantaneously. Developers have also released an interesting version of the ADA paper wallet in which the team says is the most secure and robust paper wallet that exists today. Also, the community will be pleased to hear that Cardano has partnered with the mobile systems and payment provider Metaps.
The cryptocurrency Ethereum Classic has seen some excellent market support this week. The ETCDEV team who work on the core ETC protocol has released the Emerald Wallet which will be tethered to the team's Emerald Platform. The new wallet shows key infrastructure support like Ledger nano compatibility, BIP 39, paper wallets and other features. After the ETCDEV released the Emerald Wallet v1.0 they stated over Twitter, "With much love ETCDEV Team is happy to release Emerald Wallet v1.0.0 to the ETC community." The venture capitalist and well known ETC supporter, Barry Silbert, also tweeted about the new release.
The cryptocurrency Qtum is off to good strides this year in 2018. The Qtum Foundation has revealed collaborations with two of China's reputable software firms Qihu, and Baofeng. The company Baofeng has revealed the firm will help Qtum unleash 50,000 fully operational Qtum nodes within two years. Qihu 360 is one of China's leading software companies with over 900 million users. Many believe the Baofeng partnership and Qihu 360 will add significant nodes and security to the Qtum network as a whole.
There's always a lot going on in the cryptocurrency space and this week is no different. Many traders and enthusiasts are at the edge of their seats wondering - What's next for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies? Most crypto-proponents are still very optimistic about the long term achievements blockchain will accomplish going forward. Coinmama will surely be watching and informing our readers of all the action taking place with new announcements and market action.

#SportBits . . .Weekend WrapUp
February 14, 2017 February 14, 2017 #SportBits
Happy Monday #SportBits readers! There is a lot of sports news to discuss so let's get right to it.
There are now six New England Patriot players refusing to go to the White House for the Super Bowl celebration and perfunctory meeting with POTUS with pressure mounting on more to join.
Martellus Bennet started it all by saying before the Super Bowl that he wouldn't go if the Patriots won. He reiterated those sentiments shortly after they defeated the Falcons.
The next day safety Devin McCourt joined Bennett saying he would not attend because he "doesn't feel accepted in the White House."
Soon Dont'a Hightower, LeGarrette Blount and Chris Long said they would not attend either. Long, the only white player in the group went on to say there is a "pathetic sea of NFL white silence this year."
Fans are ramping up pressure through social media urging team members to boycott and expressing support for those who won't attend.
FYI: Tom Brady skipped the post-Super Bowl visit in 2015 while Barack Obama was president citing a "prior family commitment." He was seen less than 24hrs later at an Apple store shopping for watches. Brady did attend all three times during George W Bush years.
More sports and politics to report with Steph Curry openly questioning Kevin Plank and his association with President Trump.
Kevin Plank is the CEO of Under Amour and Steph Curry is their superstar client. Curry's signing by Under Armor put them on the map in the sports apparel industry and was a huge coup over main rival Nike. Curry is probably the most popular endorser of Under Armor apparel. Even those grandpa-looking shoes were a bestseller.
But when Plank praised Trump as an "asset to the country," Curry took to twitter .
Curry responded with "I agree with that description," Curry said, "If you remove the 'et'" from asset."
Curry then followed up his tweet with daylong discussions with Under Armour reps and Kevin Plank himself who explained that his views were meant from a business perspective and not political. Plank tried to distance himself from Trump's controversial policies and comments that have enraged women, Muslims, Mexicans, African-Americans and the poor and impoverished across the nation. Curry felt comfortable with the explanation.
To me, it was an positive example of how open and honest communication can solve problems and misunderstanding during this volatile time.
The same can not be said for the situation in New York where team President Phil Jackson has taken to the media to shame and humiliate his star player, Carmelo Anthony. Whether it's in an online article stating that Anthony holds the ball too long, or his comparison via twitter of Anthony to a failed ex-NBA player – Jackson's choice of communication and follow through is not the way to solve problems or misunderstandings – and doesn't feel very zen-like to me.
More news from Knickland: Former Knick legend Charles Oakley got into a scuffle before the Clipper game last week and was escorted out of Madison Square Garden and arrested. Oakley was allegedly sparring with Knick Owner James Dolan over being left out of recent Knick activities. Dolan's actions have backfired as fans have taken to social media in support of Oakley and have been chanting his name at home games.
PEOPLE ARE FEELING EMPOWERED TO SPEAK THEIR MINDS THESE DAYS AND I LIKE IT!
On to the NBA..where the OKC Thunder fans were speaking their minds Saturday night.
The big game that had everyone talking was the Golden State Warriors v. Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday. It was the long-awaited return of Kevin Durant to OKC – a place he had spent all previous eight seasons before joining their biggest rivals, the Warriors.
Duran hired extra security for what was an emotionally charged and explosive scene at Chesapeake Energy Arena. He was booed as he entered the arena, as he was introduced and every time he touched the ball. His mom said later she was hurt by the treatment she and her son received on Saturday night.
"The most vicious things you could say, they said about my son tonight. It's hurtful. We poured our heart into this place. Not just him. Our family. This is basketball. This is not whether or not you're going to make it into heaven." ~ Wanda Durant
But the game didn't really live up to the hype as the Warriors defeated the Thunder 130-114. Durant scored 34 points and Russell Westbrook had 47 for the Thunder.
OK, TIME TO TUNE INTO COLLEGE HOOPS PEOPLE.
March Madness is right around the corner. The tournament begins March 14th and concludes the final four weekend, April 1 and April 3rd. Sixty-eight teams are chosen: 32 Division I conference champions and 36 at-large bids.
So, pick your team now and start following because in a couple weeks that's all we'll be talking about. #prepper
In women's basketball, the No.1 UCONN women's team looks to extend their winning streak to 100 v. No.6 South Carolina tonight in Storrs, CT. The Huskies last loss came early in the 2014-15 season against then No. 6 Stanford. THAT IS ONE HELLUVA STAT! I'm not a UCONN fan but I'm rooting for them to hit 100.
Lastly:
Jordan Spieth won at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am over the weekend. This was his 9th PGA tour title. Tiger Woods has pulled out of the Genesis Open in Los Angeles this week citing back spasms.
At UFC208 in Brooklyn on Saturday, Germaine de Randamie defeated MMA fighter Holly Holm for the inaugural featherweight title. There was some controversy surrounding the fight when after the second round horn sounded, de Randamie continued to throw punches, landing what many considered the best strike of the night that seemed to wobble Holm as she walked back to her corner. Despite complaints, the ref did not warn de Randamie or take a point. de Randamie has agreed to a rematch because of the controversy.

NBA:
GET READY FOR GAME 6 OF THE NBA FINALS!! The Cavs are trailing 3-2, so if they lose tonight in Cleveland, it's ova! Draymond Green will be back in the lineup for the Warriors, but big man Andrew Bogut, is out. An MRI revealed that Bogut has multiple bone bruises in his knee and will be out six to eight weeks. The injury will not require surgery. His shot blocking ability will be definitely be missed.
To quote #POTUS, there has been a lot of "yapping" between these teams…with wives getting into the mix…and emotions are high. It's going to be an exciting game. And what makes it even better…YES BETTER…is ESPN's announcement yesterday that longtime TNT announcer, Craig Sager, known for his outrageous suit ensembles, will be the sideline announcer. Sager, currently battling an aggressive form of Leukemia, has never worked the Finals. Classy move by ESPN. Can't wait to see what he wears tonight! #NBAFashion

MLB:
Old man Ichiro Suzuki broke Pete Rose's all-time record of 4,256 after a double during the Miami Marlins' game against the San Diego Padres yesterday, but Rose said he wasn't counting Ichiro's hits in Japan. The Miami Marlins outfielder has a career total of 4,257 hits – 2,979 in MLB and 1,278 in the Nippon Professional Baseball League. God love Pete Rose…. he's always got something to say…but does he maybe have a point??
"I'm not trying to take anything away from Ichiro — he's had a Hall of Fame career — but the next thing you know, they'll be counting his high school hits." ~ Pete Rose
Here are yesterday's MLB scores, news and highlights.
Five-time grand slam champion Maria Sharapova can't play tennis for 2 years because she took a drug called meldonium, which was banned starting in 2016. She has officially appealed the decision seeking to wipe out or reduce the ban imposed by the International Tennis Federation. Fellow tennis player and Head racquet client, Andy Murray, thinks the ban is progress in the battle against doping, and that Sharapova should have know about the ban.
"I don't really see that as being a valid excuse. If you're taking any medication, it's your responsibility as the athlete to check and make sure what you're taking is legal…if you're taking medication, there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't know whether it's on the banned list or not." ~ Andy Murray
SOCCER:
Copa America continues! The #USMNT take on Ecuador tonight in the quarterfinals. And here are yesterday's results.
European Championships results are here.
The 116th U.S. Open begins today from Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania. 156 of the greatest golfers in the world will compete for the United States' biggest prize in golf. Settle in folks…we've got 4 days of great competition ahead, from a course that many say is probably one of the hardest courses played. I'm #TeamRickie all the way…who do you want?

#SportBitsDaily … Tuesday
Today's theme ….balls.
The Golden State Warriors blew their chance to clinch the NBA title at home last night. The war of words between LeBron James and Klay Thompson that began Sunday, continued on the court, and King James came out on top. The Cavs needed the win, and behind a 41pt performance from James and Kyrie Irving, they did just that, 112-97. The series returns to Cleveland for Game 6 on Thursday…and with Draymond Green back in the lineup after his groin-grabbing suspension – it'll be dramatic – and fun.
Big balls for Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy …b0th confirming they WILL take part in the summer Olympics despite #Zika concerns .
More groin news: Cleveland Indians third baseman Juan Uribe was carted off the field in the fourth inning of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels after Mike Trout's ground ball nailed him in the nuts. He is listed day to day with a testicular contusion. Wasn't he wearing a cup, you ask? Don't they all wear cups? Well, apparently Cleveland trainers didn't have one in his size. #biggerballs
*Insert some witty #DonJuan hashtag here.
Yesterday's MLB scores…here.
Hey…let's hear it for the old guys:
Ok, 32yrs may not be old. But to pursue an NFL career at that age is…well… ballsy. 32-year old former NBA player Nate Robinson had a tryout Monday with the Seattle Seahawks, a league source confirmed. The 5-foot-9 Robinson had been playing basketball in Israel, but he has expressed interest in pursuing an NFL career.
"The biggest challenge is probably all the haters, everybody counting me out, somebody not really giving me the opportunity. That's what I think the biggest challenge will be, getting somebody to give me that chance."
Good luck Nate – I'm rooting for you!
Meanwhile, Ichiro Suzuki is 42 years old, and after a disappointing 2015 season with his longtime Mariners team, many thought he was done. But he hung in there and signed with the Marlins for 2016, and is having a helluva season so far. Suzuki has a .350 batting average and is just 23 career hits short of 3000.
ICYMI:
Baylor interim president David Garland acknowledged Monday that a movement to bring back Art Briles as football coach in 2017 has gained momentum among a few key donors. #BEYONDballsy. There are no words…except that my incoming high school senior WILL NOT be looking at Baylor this fall. #BaylorScandal #notrust #nofaith
Let's end with a shout out to all the ladies of the WNBA …

#SportBits … Memorial Day
May 30, 2016 #SportBits
Happy Memorial Day #SportBits readers! I hope you are enjoying your long weekend. Today I am very thankful for all the women and men in the military who bravely serve this country. Their commitment affords my kids and me the freedoms we experience every day – and often take for granted. Thank you.
You know what else I'm thankful for? Sports! Following my teams and chatting about it on Twitter, at work, or with my family is fun. Don't get me wrong, I love going to a great museum, or hitting up that killer Memorial Day Sale at Nordstrom's, but knowing that I get to watch Game 7 tonight between #OKC and #GSW really makes my day. What about you? What's making YOUR Memorial Day?
There were so many games, tournaments, and races to keep up with this weekend…I gave it my best-shot people….here we go.
NHL: The Stanley Cup Final is set. The Pittsburgh Penguins will battle the San Jose Sharks for the coveted trophy. The Sharks are in the finals for the first time in franchise history, while Sidney Crosby and the Penguins return for a 5th time. Game 1 is TONIGHT in Pittsburgh (8pm ET. on NBC) . There are many interesting storylines in this one…but I'm just excited to watch the fast and frantic pace that is expected in this series, along with the playoff beards that just keep-a-growin'.
NBA: Thank goodness for the Sharks because the Golden State Warriors have put the #NoCal fans in a tizzy. Over the weekend, the Warriors went to #OKC facing elimination in Game 6, and came out with an improbable win. Only 9 times in NBA history has a team come back from a 3-1 deficit. We'll see if the Warriors can do it TONIGHT in Oakland for Game 7. Watch this game folks (9pm ET. TNT) – or if you have $29,000 – you can get a floor seat. If it's anything like the last one, it might just be worth it!
Waiting in the wings from the East Conference is #KingJames and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Having beaten the Toronto Raptors in 6 games, the Cavs are hoping to bring the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy to Cleveland, where no professional sports team has won a championship in nearly 52 years. #Ouch. James is back to the NBA Finals for a record 6th straight time. THAT'S impressive…but it won't mean squat if he doesn't win the title. Finals begin Thursday.
MLB: It was a great weekend for me because I was able to watch 2 Dodgers games on TV. Don't get me started on the Dodger/TimeWarnerCable BS that we are STILL experiencing out here in Los Angeles. Just … don't.
The Dodgers traveled to New York to take on the World Series runner-up NY Mets, and this rivalry is officially ON. It began with the Mets accusing the Dodgers of cheating with lasers. The Mets contacted Major League Baseball about the possibility of the Dodgers using lasers to gain an unfair advantage in their defensive positioning. Next there was the Dodger debut of 19-year old lefty phenom pitcher Julio Urias. The Mets didn't appreciate all the hype surrounding the kid, and made his first outing a rough one. Over the course of 2.2 innings, Urias allowed three earned runs and five hits while walking four batters and striking out three. He's been sent back to his room Triple-A, Oklahoma City team and can not come out to play (in the majors) for a bit…
Oh, it doesn't end there…things got really chippy on Saturday night. Mets Thor-esque pitcher Noah Syndergaard was given the quick boot for throwing a pitch behind Dodger Chase Utley. The 99-mph fastball appeared to be in retaliation for Utley's leg-breaking slide to former Mets infielder Ruben Tejada in the NLDS last season. Twitter went nuts and Mets fans were M A D as many felt Thor should have been given a warning first.
In other baseball news, USA softball star Jennie Finch became the first woman to manage a professional baseball team on Sunday. Finch was a guest manager for the Atlantic League's Bridgeport Bluefish. Her aggressive base running strategies helped lead the Bluefish to a 3-1 win over the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs at The Ballpark at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Finch is now 1-0. #girlmode

Soccer: The 100th anniversary of the oldest international soccer tournament kicks off this Friday at Levi's Stadium Santa Clara, CA when the U.S. meets Columbia in the first round of the Copa America Centenario. The 16-team competition will be played in 10 U.S. cities over the next month. It's a great test for the USNMT going into the summer Olympics…and who doesn't want to win the 100th anniversary title? Here is a complete TV guide for upcoming matches. If you're a soccer fan, you're in for a treat.
In NCAA news: so many tournaments… lacrosse, baseball, softball, ultimate Frisbee .. too many to cover. Sorry folks. Check here for final scores and updates on what's happening in college sports sports.
Tennis: It's been a nightmare year in tennis so far, and the hits just keep on coming. A match-fixing scandal began the year at the Australian Open. Maria Sharapova is out of tournament play due to a drug suspension. Roger Federer skipped the French because of an undisclosed injury. Clay King Rafa Nadal withdrew on Friday because of a wrist injury. And on Sunday, home favorite 6th seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga retired after pulling his groin. Add all this to the ongoing bickering over equal pay, and the announcement by several high profile players that they are skipping the Olympics. #noreliefinsight
Speaking of the Rio Olympics, more than 100 prominent physicians, bioethicists and scientists from around the world posted a letter Friday urging World Health Organization Director-General Margaret Chan to exert pressure on Olympic authorities to move the Olympics from Rio de Janeiro or delay the Games because of public health concerns over the Zika virus, according to the Washington Post. In the open letter posted Friday on Twitter and Facebook, the authors said evidence shows that "Brazil's Zika strain has more serious medical consequences than researchers previously knew, that Rio de Janeiro is one of the hardest-hit areas of the epidemic, and that Rio's mosquito-killing efforts are not meeting expectations." #ongoing
Golf: Texas native Jordan Spieth won his first PGA tournament in his home state on Sunday. A sure cure for his Master's meltdown blues, Spieth birdied the last three holes in front of family and friends to win the Dean and Deluca Invitational in Fort Worth, Texas. Spieth is the reigning U.S. Open champion and will try to defend that title at Oakmont in three weeks. #cantwait
The Russian doping scandal continues. According to the Associated Press, 8 more Russian athletes tested positive in the retests of doping samples from the 2012 Olympics. The IOC is using newer methods to test samples. Russia has already been banned from competing in track and field, including at the Rio Olympics, by the international track and field federation. The IOC said Friday that 23 athletes from five sports and six countries tested positive in retests of 265 samples from 2012.
A very sad story from the NFL: New Orleans Pelicans guard Bryce Dejean-Jones was fatally shot after breaking down the door to a Dallas apartment early Saturday morning. Dejean-Jones was visiting his girlfriend for his daughter's first birthday. According to police, the resident of the apartment, who had been asleep, retrieved a handgun and called out to Dejean-Jones but did not get an answer. Dejean-Jones kicked the bedroom door and the resident fired his gun through the door, striking and killing Dejean-Jones. It's not clear at this time whether any substance played a part in this horrific tragedy.
Let's end with the great underdog story from the Indianapolis 500! In what has to be one of the biggest upsets in the Formula-One sport, 24 year old California native Alexander Rossi won the 100th running of the "Greatest Spectacle In Racing" on Sunday. The 66-1 long shot used super speeds and a savvy fuel strategy to take the checkered flag, giving the Andretti family the biggest win of their storied careers. Columbian runner-up (for the 2nd time in 4 yrs) Carlos Munoz was not happy it all came down to fuel consumption – but a win is a win…#dealwithit. Rossi, on the other hand, had the best quote of the day: "The emotional roller-coaster of this race is ridiculous," he said. "There were moments I was really stoked, really heartbroken, really stoked. I was like, 'Wow, I'll need to see a psychiatrist after this." #pagingDr.Phil

After having previously been the King Philip girl's junior varsity lacrosse coach, Kourtnie Wilder inherited the varsity team this spring. The Warriors went 8-10 last year and found themselves in the Division 1 East Tournament with the twelfth and final seed. Despite that last place seeding, King Philip went on to upset Acton-Boxboro and Lexington before bowing to neighboring Franklin in the semifinals.
Despite picking up two wins in the state tournament last year, Wilder is looking for better results this spring.
Looking to keep the Warriors' train moving in a positive way are senior captains Katie Crowther, Christina Hathaway, and Izzy Argicola. While Hathaway and Agricola lead the defensive squad with vocal leadership and intimidation, Crowther was supposed to be the team's go-to scorer.
The first year varsity coach will also be looking for the captains to relay her message to the rest of the team and keep them focused while working together to improve upon their run through the playoffs.
Junior midfielder Caroline Klim, not used to being a big scoring threat, has picked up her game this year and is the Warrior's leading goal scorer and one of the top ten scorers in the Hockomock League.
Aiding Klim in the middle of the field will be juniors Alli Meehan and Dana Truini. Wilder will be relying heavily on the two girls to play both offensively and defensively while being consistent athletes on the field in all that they do. The coach also is looking for them to continue being big on draws, transition play, and putting the ball in the net. Sophomore attacker Jess Sullivan has occasionally found the back of the net and the Warrior coach sees her moving forward and eventually coming into her own on the field.
King Philip's biggest strength on the field is their defense, which is heavily laden with seniors. Junior keeper Caroline Watson will be the team's last line of defense. The three-year starter has been playing really well this season and the coach is looking for her to continue her strong play.
King Philip has posted more wins than last season and has already qualified for the state tournament. If things continue as they have the Warriors should have no problems eclipsing Wilder's expectations.

Bolton Was Concerned By Giuliani's Activities In Ukraine, Reports Say
By Tim Mak • Oct 15, 2019
Originally published on October 15, 2019 10:21 am
We're learning that President Trump's former national security adviser, John Bolton, was concerned about Rudy Giuliani's activities in Ukraine. That's according to multiple reports coming out of the House impeachment inquiry. Yesterday former national security official Fiona Hill testified to congressional investigators behind closed doors. NPR's diplomatic correspondent Michele Kelemen is on the line from the State Department. Good morning, Michele.
MICHELE KELEMEN, BYLINE: Good morning, Noel.
KING: So Fiona Hill testified behind closed doors, but some information about her testimony has come out. What do we know?
KELEMEN: Well, we know it lasted a really long time. She was there for more than 10 hours. She raised concerns about how the ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, was treated. Remember - Jovanovic was withdrawn in May after a smear campaign led in part by Trump's private lawyer, Rudy Giuliani. And Hill also had concerns about Giuliani and another key figure in all of this, Gordon Sondland. He's the Trump donor who's now ambassador to the European Union and was tasked with dealing with Ukraine.
Together, Giuliani and Sondland seemed to be carrying out kind of a side foreign policy, not the one that was agreed to by the National Security Council. We're told, for instance, that Hill described a tense exchange between Sondland and National Security Adviser John Bolton about that.
KING: So Fiona Hill was working with John Bolton. What was the relationship between those two?
KELEMEN: Well, I've been told she worked quite well with Bolton. Fiona Hill, as long as I've known her, has really tried to stay above the political fray. She sees herself as kind of a nonpartisan expert on the region, someone who's - you know, she's a critic of Vladimir Putin, to be sure. She's someone who is a critic of Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, but also someone who has spent her whole adult life studying Russia and the region. And she's known to be a kind of a nonpartisan political expert who knows how governments normally function. And so when she sees something that's out of the ordinary like this, she went to the Hill and talked about it.
KING: How did the White House feel about Fiona Hill's testimony?
KELEMEN: Well, the White House has been trying to block a lot of people from going up to testify. They see this as a Democratic-run kangaroo court, as they've called it. They tried to warn her against talking about anything that was - that would be of executive privilege. I should point out that Fiona Hill actually left the government - or she had turned over all her responsibilities before that phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. So she was not on that call and wouldn't have been able to talk about that part of this story.
KING: There are other State Department witnesses who are going to be testifying in closed-door hearings this week. Who are they?
KELEMEN: Well, one is Deputy Assistant Secretary George Kent. He was the No. 2 at the U.S. embassy in Kiev until last year, and he was also a lead figure in U.S. anti-corruption efforts for the region before that. A day after his deposition, another career diplomat, Michael McKinley, has been called to appear. He just resigned last week as a top aide to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. I expect, you know, these two will be talking a lot about how the U.S. ambassador, Marie Yovanovitch, was treated, among other things.
KING: NPR's Michele Kelemen at the State Department. Michele, thanks so much.
KELEMEN: Sure thing. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Home Lifestyle Japanese Moms Who Stay Thin During Pregnancy Cause Kidney Problems in Babies, Study Finds
Japanese Moms Who Stay Thin During Pregnancy Cause Kidney Problems in Babies, Study Finds
The Japanese are considered to be among the healthiest in the world, but kidney failure caused by hypertension or high blood pressure has been a major concern for many people in Japan.
According to researchers, low birth weight babies caused by pregnant Japanese women trying to stay thin may have to do with the country's kidney problems.
Scientists Monash University's Biomedicine Discovery Institute in Australia and the Jikei University School of Medicine in Tokyo specifically identified the problem to be nephrons — the structural unit in kidneys that regulates the concentration of water and soluble substances such as sodium salts in the body.
Jikei University School of Medicine (Photo via Flickr / Takayuki Miki (三木貴幸) (CC BY-SA 2.0))
The findings, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation Insight, showed that the Japanese have generally fewer nephrons than normal, which in itself, has broad health implications.
Japanese people without hypertension or kidney disease had 640,000 nephrons, a far cry from the European average of 900,000 to one million. For Japanese patients with hypertension, the number is at around 392,000, while the figure further slides down to 268,000 for those with chronic kidney disease.
"In the present study, 9 Japanese hypertensive subjects with a mean age of 68 years had 37 percent fewer nephrons than 9 normotensive subjects with a mean age of 64 years," the paper noted.
This is particularly significant since one-eighth of the population suffers from chronic kidney disease in the country, the second-highest rate in the world.
Nephron expert and lead researcher John Bertram explained that scientists have hypothesized a lower nephron count could be responsible for hypertension since the 1980s due to the role of the kidney itself, dictating the amount of sodium and renin in the bloodstream.
Bertram noted that their research, which involved the analysis of 59 kidneys from 59 individual patients collected via autopsies, established a clear correlation between nephron count and hypertension.
3D reconstruction of nephrons captured with a 63X objective on a Nikon Confocal A1R microscope (Photo via Flickr / eLife – the journal (CC BY-SA 2.0))
"This paper, the first such study in an Asian population, shows that Japanese with hypertension have significantly fewer nephrons than normotensive Japanese do – it's a clear-cut finding," Bertram said.
Researcher Go Kanzaki explained how low birth weight babies and kidney problems could actually be connected.
"There is a trend towards Japanese women staying thin and small during pregnancy to try to look beautiful but their babies are more likely to be born smaller and with smaller kidneys and therefore less nephrons—the number of nephrons is set at birth," he said.
A separate study, published in Journal of Clinical Medicine Research in 2016, further posits that pregnant Japanese women's "strong desire to be thin" has indeed contributed to a steady decrease in the average birth weight in Japan over the last three decades.
It is important to point out, however, that such a trend is not necessarily caused by women's vanity alone.
"Japan recommends stricter limiting of weight gain during pregnancy, compared to other developed countries," Japanese researchers pointed out in another report published in Scientific Reports.
"In this context, pregnant Japanese women are expected to weigh themselves at every perinatal check-up … Moreover, the majority of Japanese women believe that carrying a smaller baby would ensure a smooth delivery, which can lead them to avoid extra weight gain during their pregnancy."
Bertram and his team explained that a person's low nephron count could help identify potential hypertension or CKD, however, current methods used to count nephrons rely mainly on autopsies.
"Ultimately, you would hope that health professionals will think more about low birth weight although the idea's not there yet," explained Bertram.

These last two days have focused on our sense of our bodies. It was a bit odd to walk around the house for my walking meditation but the snow in town makes walking difficult in some areas.
I can see how focusing on the body can increase our awareness of ourselves. And I see how it helps us to be more aware and in tune with the world around us too. And I can see how it helps us to focus in our meditation.
It's a great start! We are almost to the halfway point.

Custom GTINs
------------

If the standard GTINs provided are not enough for your needs, you can implement your own by subclassing `BarcodeValidation::GTIN::Base` or any of its subclasses. If your custom class overlaps with a default class or one of your other custom classes, you can declare `prioritize_before <other class>` to re-order their evaluation order.

An example:

```ruby
# A custom class that handles any length GTIN as long as it starts with "123".
# Note that we must still provide a VALID_LENGTH to allow transcoding to other GTINs by zero-padding.
# Due to this inheriting from Base, it is automatically registered and added to the end of the list of classes to check if it `handles?` an input.
class MyCustomGTIN < BarcodeValidation::GTIN::Base
  VALID_LENGTH = 20

  def self.handles?(input)
    input.start_with?("123") && input.length <= VALID_LENGTH
  end

  # Custom validity check
  def valid?
    self.class.handles?(input) && check_digit.valid?
  end
end

# A custom implementation of GTIN13, which addresses a subset of the GTIN13 range.
class MyCustomGTIN13 < BarcodeValidation::GTIN::GTIN13
  # Ensure we get a chance to handle GTINs before our parent,
  # so we can handle the subset we care about and have our parent handle the rest.
  prioritize_before BarcodeValidation::GTIN::GTIN13

  def self.handles?(input)
    input.start_with?("123") && super
  end

  def valid?
    input.start_with?("123") && super
  end
end
```

Netanyahu bemoans 'impossible demands' by prospective coalition partners
With only 2 weeks left to form the next government and many hurdles remaining, PM says task seems 'absurd,' claims budgetary demands cannot be met
By TOI staff	15 May 2019, 9:36 pm 3 Edit

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday evening complained that the task of forming a coalition seemed "absurd," accusing potential coalition partners of making excessive and conflicting demands during negotiations.
Two weeks before the final deadline for submitting Netanyahu's coalition to the Knesset, talks appeared to have stalled, and no agreement has been signed with any party. Without reconciling the right-wing and ultra-Orthodox parties' demands and securing their support, Netanyahu will be unable to achieve a coalition of at least 61 seats in the 120-member Knesset. Nonetheless, most analysts believe the coalition will come together in the next two weeks.
At an event in the northern town of Atlit marking 100 years since the death of Zionist activist Aaron Aaronsohn, Netanyahu said: "I prefer to be here than at coalition negotiations, and be free for a bit from this task which seems absurd."
"All the factions are making impossible demands that conflict with each other," the premier charged. "One faction asked for four minister posts and budgetary demands that we don't have.
"Had we had a budget like the United States, it could have been okay. But we don't, and we cannot destroy Israel's economy and the state's budget."

The Haaretz daily on Wednesday quoted sources familiar with the talks as saying Netanyahu, whose Likud party won 35 seats in the April 9 election, has started to wonder if Yisrael Beytenu party leader Avigdor Liberman and Kulanu party leader Moshe Kahlon were coordinating an effort to torpedo the establishment of a right-wing coalition.
Liberman later denied doing anything of the kind; Kahlon, as of Wednesday evening, had not responded to the claim.
The secularist, hawkish Liberman has demanded more than what Likud believes is his fair share of control over ministries and government policies — given his party's paltry five Knesset seats — including the defense minister post, a more secularist religion-and-state stance, and a more combative posture toward Hamas in Gaza.
Meanwhile, Kulanu's Kahlon, the finance minister in the outgoing government — in which he controlled 10 Knesset seats — is now seeking to hold on to the job despite his party shrinking to just four seats and has refused to conclude his coalition talks with Likud.

On Tuesday, United Torah Judaism MK Yisrael Eichler openly accused Liberman of trying to prevent a right-wing government.
"Maybe he's struck a deal with [Blue and White's] Yair Lapid to establish a secular government without Haredim, and without Netanyahu," Eichler suggested in an interview with Kan radio.
Liberman threatened on Monday to take his party to the opposition, citing significant gaps with Likud in coalition talks, mainly on security-related issues. He declared he would hold no further negotiations, telling Netanyahu that he could either accept his demands or risk sending Israelis back to the polls.
In the coalition talks, Liberman laid out five core demands he said were his party's red lines, including the defeat of Hamas, blocking any changes to proposed legislation regulating military conscription for ultra-Orthodox men, and ending certain despised practices employed by some in the state rabbinate when dealing with Russian-speaking immigrants, such as DNA tests to examine Jewish family ties.
If Netanyahu fails to form a coalition by May 28, the task could be assigned to a different member of the Knesset. If no member of the legislature is likely to be able to form a government, the country could face new elections.

Comparison of earnings of one company with another does not make any sense. Similarly, comparing market price of two stocks is meaningless as there are number of other factors that need to be checked before taking a decision.
Earnings per share or EPS is one of those factors which need to be looked into while doing research of a stock.
Earnings per share or EPS is a very common phrase in the financial market. EPS is calculated to find out the portion of company's net profit that can be allocated to each share of its common stock i.e. EPS tells you how much net income the company has earned for each share you own.
Two factors are required to calculate EPS. Number one is, net profit or net earnings of the company which can be found from company's profit and loss account and the second one is number of shares outstanding at the end of the year.
If you want to calculate EPS of a quarter then this calculation should be done by taking quarterly net earning with the number of shared outstanding on the last date of the quarter.
Both net earnings and number of shares outstanding can be obtained from company's annual report or from any financial website.
Let us assume that company X ltd has net profit of Rs. 2, 00,000 at the end of the year. Same year company's number of shares are 1, 00,000.
EPS is calculated to find out how profitable the company is in comparison to others. If your EPS is higher compare to others then your company is more profitable than the one with low EPS.
To know in which company you should invest, one of the factor while comparing should be the comparison of EPS.
You should not take your investment decision only by basing on EPS. There are number of other factors which should be looked in before taking an investment decision and EPS is one of them.
As per GAAP requirements, publicly owned businesses must report their earning per share or EPS below the net income in their income statement. This is communicated by management so that anyone can compare it with the market price of their shares.

In the choir of the St. Peter's Church in Leuven is a twelve-meter high sacrament tower designed by architect Matheus de Laeyens from 1450. It was ordered by the Brotherhood of the holy Sacrament. Sacrament towers were frequently built from the mid-15th century. These are tabernacles in the shape of a tower, in which the sacred sacrament, a host, was kept. This design was no exception: for this reason doors are provided on the choir side and in the direction of the two northern chapels, which the Brotherhood of the Holy Sacrament was given in 1432 from the chapter of Saint Peter. Sacrament towers were regularly built until the 17th century. Then the Church decided that the tabernacle should be placed in the center of the altar.

The tower in St. Peter's Church was built between 1537 and 1539 and this makes it the oldest preserved sacrament tower in Belgium. In addition to these, six others were once found in Leuven, namely in the churches of Sint-Jacob, Saint Quentin (two copies), Park Abbey, Sint-Geertrui Abbey and in the Celestine Monastery in Heverlee. Only the first one still exists. In Flemish Brabant there are still a few sacrament towers from the 16th and 17th centuries that can be seen, especially in Zoutleeuw, Zuurbemde and Diest.

Description
The structure of the sacrament tower consists of an open landing as a base, with the actual tabernacle above it and then reliefs with the passion of Christ and finally a richly elaborated tower crown. Six niches on the third level crown the sides of the tabernacle. It contained reliefs depicting passion scenes, but all but one were lost, just like the apostle figures who stood around the tabernacle. These statues were placed back during a restoration of the tower. The only remaining original fragment is the Grace Chair, in which a throning God the Father supports the dead body of his Son. The theme of the mercy seat is represented three more times in St. Peter's Church, namely on the back of the right side panel of the Edelheeretriptiek (1443), and in the burial monuments of Michaël Scribaens (circa 1504) and Adolf van Baussele (circa 1559).

The actual tabernacle occupies the second floor and is enclosed by panels with tracery and Eucharistic symbols (chalice and lamb). The twelve apostles are depicted in the niches on the corner supports: they were witnesses to the establishment of the sacrament of the Eucharist.
