There's a documented automation API available now (essentially what the form was doing anyway): http://www.webpagetest.org/docs/Automating_Pagetest
Beacon support isn't there right now but it shouldn't be hard to add. Was going to look at supporting having it send up HAR files and raw results so that falls right in line with what you are talking about.
Also on the list to consider is a way for doing recurring tests (at a minimum for the private installs but maybe a fixed set of pages on the public site as well) which combined with ShowSlow would give you interesting trending reporting. I'll ping you offline because I'm working with someone on possibly standardizing the various interactions which would allow for even more creative mashups.

All sounds very exciting, let's work on that.
Meanwhile I'll look into PageSpeed automation to attach it to ShowSlow in some way.

First off, I really love the idea of automating page tests. It looks like you have a great start for doing just that.
Currently, when I run a test, I look over the results and pretty much never come back to it ever again - at least no more than a week.
I would love to see hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly trend data for a particular webpage or even an entire website. I realize this could be done manually but it would be very time consuming to do - especially when the entire process can be automated.
The first thing I would focus on is getting the testing process using a database instead of files. This way you have better control over the data.
The test history page could be setup a bit differently. You could have unique URL links (or titles such as My Homepage) on this page. Click one of these links could open up a new page that lists dates and times that tests were run for this particular URL. You could have links here to view hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly trend data if enough data exists for these particular URL. You could also have a link here to run test now so the testing data is already propagated into the test form.
On the actual test form, you could have a drop down box thats labeled something like "Run Test" and then "Once, Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly". You could have this option only available to registered members so it would encourage people to register.
If a test fails to run successfully for various reasons, you could have an automated email setup that informs the website owner that something went wrong with the test. This could be an indication that maybe their website is currently down and they need to fix it.
For the trend data, you could have flash graphs where data points are represented by circles. Clicking on a circle could goto the test results for the corresponding point.

I'll be adding trending support at some point but I'm not sure if it will ever see the light of day on the hosted instance here (more for use in the private installs). The main reason is the test system capacity. Doing recurring tests hourly for a large number of sites would consume a significant amount of the testing infrastructure. I may do something where I have a set of industry sites that are trended and may do something where I allow registered users a couple of pages but I haven't figured out the details yet.
It's also a space where there are a fair number of commercial offerings (Keynote, Gomez, BrowserMob, WebMetrics, etc) - some of which have free offerings to an extent.
Internally at AOL we already use the guts of the WebPagetest infrastructure for exactly that purpose so I'm pretty familiar with the different pieces that would have to be covered for a useful offering but we also have hundreds of test systems and a fairly large database cluster for running it on (and even there we gather exponentially more data than people end up actually using).
I agree with Pat, doing the automated testing is not cheap and can't be done just like that.
On a second topic, ShowSlow is the open source solution intended to be this source for recurring data keeping track for you and that's why I'm trying to work with Pat on integrating Pagetest.
Same problem though - ShowSlow.com (public version) can't run infinite runs of tests for you for free, but both products are open source and can't be installed locally (and many people do).
I don't know if Pat has an intention to provide paid service as part of WebPageTest.org, but ShowSlow is definitely going to - this might be a solution to your problems.

Pat, I never knew you worked for AOL. That is pretty neat.
The first thing I thought of when I saw you put the automated testing in place was the test system capacity. I know a lot of automated tests would put a heavy load on the server.
First, perhaps you could have a limit on the number of tests per time period that can be run from a single domain name. That number could be tweaked over time as more people use the website.
Second, you could have a script to automatically delete hourly data if it is more than 24 hours old. Thus, the trend data for a particular webpage would only show the last 24 hours. Likewise, for daily data, you could automatically delete data after 7 days. For weekly data, data could be deleted after 52 weeks. For Monthly data, you could delete data after 12 months. For yearly data, you could delete it after 10 years. If done this way, a single webpage would never have more than 105 database entries.
Third, you could have it where members have to log in every 60 or 90 days or their trend data would get deleted. This would encourage people to come back to the website.
Fourth, you could have a limit on the number of webpages that track trend data for a particular member. This number could also be tweaked over time.
Fifth, paying for a service would also be a possibility. If you do this though, I think you should have some sort of trial period or maybe even a number of free tests a single IP can do per day. That way you could still reel people in to use the website.
WebPagetest will always be free and there won't ever be subscription services. I like it that way as it's less complicated and simplifies building a collaborative community (also makes it easier to not have to support SLA's, etc). I am looking at various options along the lines of what you are talking about.
The code already supports running tests at different priority levels so the recurring testing would be given a lower priority than on-demand tests. Would just have to keep track of capacity to make sure the system didn't get over-provisioned.
As far as storage goes, even the hourly results are not a problem - where things get to be intensive are the storing of the screen shots, http headers and the transaction details needed to generate the waterfalls. For recurring testing it's likely that screen shots and http headers wouldn't be kept at all and the details for the individual requests would only be kept for X days.
It's all easy enough to do, it just takes time to implement :-)
One other option I'm considering is that users who run/sponsor test locations would get X testing slots (well above what would be made available for regular registered users) which would encourage more hosting of the testing infrastructure.
One suggestion I have is to allow members to specify FTP information to their own servers.
It would be very easy for a website owner with their own server to setup a FTP login that only allows access to a specific folder, which could hold such waterfall images generated by this website.
Let me know what you think? The Google Affiliate program does this in a way. Affiliates provide FTP login information and product data files are sent to third party servers for processing.
I'm actually probably going to support a beacon rather than a FTP dump so that when a test is complete it can post the data realtime to an external system as well.
In either case you'd have to build something to deal with the data (or use something off the shelf). I'm working with a few people in the industry to try to standardize the interfaces which would make it a lot easier to plug and play.

Welcome to Heywood, Oregon where three lost women find healing, hope and love under the bright light of the town's old Star Inn this Christmas season.
This is one book in a series that are all centered around the Star Inn. This one seemed like the perfect place to start with an introduction to the Inn, it's family, and the town of Heywood. And it was a great place to kick off.
This story starts off on a roll with Amanda returning to clear up her father's estate after his death. She's a big city girl that's always on the go. When she runs into her old crush, Anthony, she's in for quite a surprise. Not just because he's hot as all get out and seems genuinely happy to see her (at least at first), but his appearance is the first in a string of lies that begin to unfold.
Now, I won't be giving too much away when I say that Amanda is about to find out that pretty much everything she heard after she moved to the city about her hometown and family was all lies. Really big lies. She is perfectly devastated and confused, her reaction was everything it should have been. But Anthony doesn't really buy it. Why didn't she come see for herself, or call, or something.
Eventually the two find their way through the sea of lies and come up with a reason for why they were told to her. I really really really didn't buy the reason. None of it felt right, and they even admitted that they were just guessing. But it threw a hole into the story that I had a hard time getting out of. I kept going back to "why?" And I never got an answer that seemed even remotely believable to me.
I've already dove in to the next books in the collection. I'm excited to see what happens at the Star Inn this holiday season.


Chart Blocks somehow baffle me. I have a table with a month per year (so 2018 - 04 april) for instance as records and per record I have stuff like FB total likes, newsletter total size, IG total size. I would like to have 1 block that has all 3 together as lines, but I can't seem to figure out how.
Am I doing it wrong or is it not possible with the table I made?
One way to do what I think you need: with a record structure like this and then group by app in the y-axis field. Hope this helps.
Ohhhh so I nicely put everything in 1 record, in different columns but that is actually keeping me from getting them all in 1 chart. Darn it!
Airtable really needs a better graphs generator. It's totally counter intuitive.
I have a table that lists different projects as records, and then time used on particular tasks (a different task per column) to complete said project. It would be completely counter intuitive to put each task as a record and different projects in the the columns, particularly since i like to see total time used by grouping projects by the same client.

Das Gamma drückt genau das aus. Es sagt Ihnen wie häufig Sie Ihr Portfolio anpassen müssen. Gerechnet wird in der Regel in Tagen. Alle anderen Faktoren werden bei der Variation der Restlaufzeit konstant gehalten und verändern sich nicht. Das ist auch intuitiv verständlich: Der Basiswert beträgt 12 Euro. In den 7 Jahren kann noch so viel passieren und womöglich beträgt der Aktienkurs dann Euro oder mehr, was die Option sehr wertvoll macht. Wichtig ist auch zu wissen, dass das Theta bei sehr kleinen Kursen fast 0 beträgt.
Es wird erst dann stark negativ wenn sich der Kurs dem Basiswert nähert und die Option sich am Geld befindet. Bei einer solchen Option profitieren Sie also am meisten von einer Verlängerung der Restlaufzeit. Befindet sich der Kurs jedoch über dem Basispreis ist Theta natürlich nach wie vor negativ aber nicht mehr ganz so negativ als wäre die Option am Geld.

Handel had assembled a cast of operatic superstars for this season and the opera became an enormous success. The story of the opera is a fictionalisation of some events in the lives of Adalbert of Italy , his mother Willa of Tuscany called "Gismonda" in the opera , Otto II , and the Byzantine Princess Theophanu , who became the wife of Otto II in a state marriage intended to form an alliance between the Byzantine and Holy Roman empires.
Madame, said he , je sçais bien que Vous êtes une véritable Diablesse: Cuzzoni yielded and sang the aria Handel had written with enormous success, including it throughout her career in recitals and concerts. Handel had seen Antonio Lotti's opera Teofane , to the same libretto as Ottone , in Dresden in , and with three of the same singers in the same roles, though with newly written music by Handel, they had played in the Lotti work - Senesino, Giuseppe Maria Boschi and Margherita Durastanti repeated their roles from the Lotti opera in Ottone.
The "Argument" to the opera provides the context of the events that precede the opera. Basilio, Teofane's brother, had been driven into exile by a usurper. However, Basilio had become a pirate during his exile, and took on the name of Emireno. Gismonda's dream is to see her son Adelberto on the throne of Italy. Pur chi regni il figlio amato. When Adelberto comes to her, she informs him of her scheme to bring this to pass.
Her deceased husband had ruled Italy illegally as the country was really a possession of the German King Ottone, who is now on the way to reclaim the territory and to marry Teofane, daughter of the Byzantine emperor, who is already in Rome and has been sent a portrait of her bridegroom-to-be, which has caused her to look forward to her marriage with delight. However Ottone has been delayed in his journey to Rome by an attack on his convoy of ships by pirates, necessitating a battle at sea.
Gismonda instructs her son to present himself to Teofane as her bridegroom, and then marry her, pretending to be Ottone.
Adelberto thinks this is a very clever plan and Gismonda joyfully anticipates her son's success. Teofane comes to meet, as she believes, her husband-to-be Ottone, and when Adelberto greets her, pretending to be Ottone, she cannot understand why he looks nothing like the handsome and noble young man she had imagined from the miniature portrait she had been sent and carries with her in a locket.
Left alone, she accuses the portrait of cruelly misleading her Aria: The true Ottone has arrived to claim his rightful kingdom and his bride, and has defeated the pirate Emireno, who is brought before him in chains. Emireno hints that he is really someone very mighty but refuses to reveal his true identity and is led away. Del minacciar del vento. Ottone is now greeted by his enraged cousin Princess Matilda, who was officially engaged to Adelberto and is furious that he now proposes to marry Teofane instead.
She informs Ottone that Gismonda and Adelberto are scheming against him. Ottone hopes that Teofane can still be his despite this Aria: Ritorna, o dolce amore. Matilda, alone, yearns for revenge against Adelberto for his jilting of her Aria: Since her son Adelberto is now posing as Ottone, Gismonda poses as Ottone's mother Adelaide in a meeting with Teofane. Pensa ad amare , and leaves. Adelberto comes to lead Teofane to their wedding, but his mother reappears with the news that Ottone is invading with an army, thrusts a sword into her son's hand and sends him off to battle.
Left alone, Teofane now realises that Adelberto is only pretending to be Ottone, and laments the position in which she finds herself Aria: A sinfonia is played as an onstage battle shows the defeat of Adelberto's army and his capture by Ottone's forces.
They are joined by Gismonda, who reproaches her son for being defeated in battle by Ottone. Adelberto hopes that he will learn fidelity from Matilda's example, and is led away Aria: Lascia, che nel suo viso.

Q: How to get value from disable dropdown in yii? I am using active form in my view like
<?= $form->field($model, 'ishead')
         ->dropDownList(
                array(
                  "1" => "I'm a Head",
                  "0" => "I'm not a head"
                 ),
                ['prompt'=>'-Select a head type-']
           )
?>

By js, I have set the value and disable that dropdown
$("#register-ishead").val('1');
$("#register-ishead").prop("disabled", true);

When i submit the form, im not able to get that value of disable drop down value.
Is this procedure right? or How to do that

A: First create a hidden field in the form.
After  the below code just assign the value to hidden field.
then only it will go after submit.
$("#register-ishead").val('1');
$("#register-ishead").prop("disabled", true);

Readonly does not work in dropdown.
You have to use disabled and keep the data in hidden field.

A: One tricky way is to enable the dropdown just after submitting the form(before sending data to server). Something like this:
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#YourFormID").submit(function(){
         $("#register-ishead").removeAttr("disabled");
         return true;
    });
});

Stephanie Seymour Gets Naked In Vanity Fair (PHOTOS)
Supermodel Stephanie Seymour, who is embroiled in a bitter divorce with estranged husband Peter Brant, has taken her clothes off for Vanity Fair.
Brant is a multimillionaire businessman and polo pony breeder who is seeking sole custody of the couple's three children because, he claims, Seymour is hooked on drugs and booze and has repeatedly cheated on pee tests to hide it. He also claims his estranged wife's shopping habit costs $257,000 a month.
Seymour, 41, accuses Brant of trying to turn their children against her and ordering the domestic staff to keep her away from them. Also, there is a dispute over a Maurizio Cattelan bust of Seymour said to resemble either a hunting trophy or the figurehead on a ship's bow.
Is getting naked the best revenge? Here is one photo and you can see more and read the Vanity Fair story here.

Deadliest Drugs: Deaths vs. Media Coverage [INFOGRAPHIC]
http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/
I'm doing a regular weekly visualisation for the excellent Guardian Datablog, the front-end for an amazing library of statistics and data, lovingly hand-gathered by The Guardian.
My first post is about Deadly Drugs.
There's been a furore over here in the UK about the dangers of illegal drugs. The Government has sacked its most senior drugs advisor, Dr Professor Nutt, after he claimed cannabis was no more harmful than alcohol. And that horse-riding, and specifically 'equasy' (Equine Addiction Syndrome) was riskier than taking ecstasy. (Statistically he's correct. His study here.).
Anyway, digging at the numbers behind his statements and how drugs are reported in the popular press, I found some stuff I didn't expect about drug harms.
Check out the article on The Guardian blog for detail and data. You want both right?

Want to buy 5,000 leftover 2008 Beijing Olympics condoms? Look no further!
http://www.sportsrubbish.com/
The words "leftover" and "condoms" are not typically combined to start a sales stampede, but one Chinese collector of Olympic memorabilia is hoping he will be able to unload his 5,000 condoms from the 2008 Olympics at an auction.
100,000 condoms were distributed during the games, with this guy somehow ending up with 5% of them. His wildly optimistic plans for getting laid fell short, and now you can have these condoms for a mere 5,000 yuan ($730) minimum bid.
The auction, very tastefully named the "Exceptional Auction of China Sport Collection," will take place November 29th. With each condom possibly going for just 14 cents, that's a great value.
Auctioneer Guo Lei said, "Although anyone married should be interested for their practical use, some people will be too shy to bid for the condoms."
The condoms are inscribed with the Olympic motto - "faster, higher, stronger". I can't imagine why condoms labeled "faster" never got used. Though Michael Phelps was intrigued by the claim they would get him higher.
If you're interested in bidding, the auction is unfortunately for all 5,000 condoms, thus narrowing down the list of potential bidders to Wilt Chamberlain's ghost and as a gag purchase by whoever drew Shawn Kemp as their Secret Santa recipient this year.

5 American Fast Food Items You Can't Get in America
By Derek Thomas
http://blogs.laweekly.com/
While America may be known around the world as a fast food paradise, there are actually some menu items you can't get stateside. Here are our Top 5 oddities from abroad.
1. McDonald's Spaghetti and Fried Chicken (Philippines)
Fried chicken with a side order of spaghetti? Yes, please! McDonald's Philippines puts two great tastes that taste great together into one handy-dandy combo. Who wouldn't want to be asked, "Would you like spaghetti with that?"
2. Pizza Hut's English Style Pork Stew (China)
It's no secret the Chinese love pork (and, really, who doesn't?), but Pizza Hut China's "English-Style Pork Stew" may just set a new standard for parallel-dimension dining.
3. Subway's Herb Dog (Japan)
Again with the turkey, ham, and roast beef? Subway Japan's Herb Dog goes all-American with a greasy weenie on a bun. Why didn't we think of this!
4. KFC's Shrimp Zinger Burger (Korea)
You can order shrimp at KFC? Yes, you can, if you're in Korea. The Shrimp Zinger Burger is like the Korean equivalent of a Carl's Jr. Spicy Chicken Sandwich, but with shrimp. Meaning it's nothing like shrimp at all.
5. McDonald's Chicken Maharaja Mac (India)
Beef isn't exactly on the menu in India, what with the cow worship, so what's McDonald's to do? Chickenize, of course. Behold the Chicken Maharaja-Mac!

Lego Cheeseburger Combo is Brickalicious!
By Eran Abramson
http://www.walyou.com/
In case you wanted a complete Cheeseburger combo with all the fixings, french fries and coke but without the calories, then this Lego Cheeseburger combo looks really brickalicious. The only thing is that it isn't edible, but it sure could get a Geek salivating.
Another beautiful Art creation by Let's Brick that almost stacks up next to the Cheeseburger Bed we saw before, but this one provides a new form of inspiration and really went all out with so many different Lego bricks. It doesn't use just the regular bricks, but it made sure to get into a full stack, as to make up with all the details.
This cool Cheeseburger combo is made up of the actual Burger, that is built from the ground up with the Sesame seed bun, burger, a slice of melted cheese, tomato, lettuce, pickles and even some sauce for an extra flavor. In order to make sure you are not left hungry, the paper bag of Fries is completely full, and the actual thick fries sure look fresh. Once you are finished with you meal, you can quench your thirst with a Lego coke that seems like a mighty tasty beverage.
This is a complete Lego meal that cannot be passed up, and as mentioned before, is not calorie ridden. unfortunately, just like the Hamburger dress it also won't satisfy your actual taste buds. If you are truly interested in a tasty burger, then the huge Burger and Fries cake is a sweet one to take a bite of.

The world's longest film lasting 150 hours to be screened
The world's longest film which lasts 150 hours and has taken 30 years to make so far is to be screened in France.

Cinematon was started in 1978 and comprises three and a half minute segments of footage from celebrities, artists, philosophers and journalists, as well as young children.
It has been filmed by Gerard Courant, who wanted to capture the thoughts of his artistic friends.
For three minutes and 25 seconds, they can do exactly as they please in front of the camera.
The film, which is an ongoing project, will be screened in Avignon later this month and in Paris in January.
The subjects who feature in Cinematon include film director Ken Loach, actors Roberto Benigni and Samuel Fuller, chess grandmaster Joel Lautier and former Monty Python Terry Gilliam.
Gilliam was filmed in 1985 when Courant happened to bump into him at the film festival in Deauville, France.
"He started off to one (of the cameras), then came into the shot," Courant told The Independent. "He played with the frame, exiting and entering, and ate a 100 Franc note, making it into a little ball.
"He never stopped playing with the square, and never lost sight of the limit of the frame. The three minutes and 25 seconds with him is a true sketch."
Courant only intended to film 100 short portraits and edit them together for his project, but it proved so popular that he kept filming.
One of his favourite sketches is that of a seven-month-old baby: "It shows the whole spectrum of human emotion in less than four minutes."

Baby boy gives two-finger salute to the world... from inside the WOMB
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/
If Owen Skeffington grows up to show a lack of respect for authority, his parents can hardly complain that he didn't warn them.
A scan taken at 27 weeks clearly shows the infant raising two fingers to the camera.
Such was the hilarity at Royal Preston Hospital that the sonographer asked permission of his parents, Owen senior and Kelly, to put the picture on the wall.
The 4D scan image of baby Owen Patrick Skeffington sticking his two fingers up to the camera
The couple, from Ashton, Preston, who also have three-year-old twins girls, Niamh and Erin, said they couldn't decide whether baby Owen was being rude to them or simply showing how many sisters he has.
His father Owen, 34, joked: 'Luckily, he didn't come out sticking two fingers up!'
Owen's comical antics caused great hilarity at the hospital. The sonographer carrying out the scan even asked for the couple's permission to reproduce the image and put it on the wall for other patients to see.
Kelly has since given birth to Owen at Royal Preson Hospital.
According to popular legend, the rude V-sign was a gesture of defiance first used by English and Welsh archers during the 100 Years War against France.
The French apparently threatened to cut off the arrow-shooting fingers of the longbow men, so the archers would wave these two fingers to show they could still shoot.

Anne Frank diary offends Lebanon's Hezbollah
AFP/HO/File – Anne Frank's diary has been censored out of a school textbook in Lebanon following a campaign by …
by Natacha Yazbeck Natacha Yazbeck
BEIRUT (AFP) – Anne Frank's diary has been censored out of a school textbook in Lebanon following a campaign by the militant group Hezbollah claiming the classic work promotes Zionism.
The row erupted after Hezbollah learned excerpts of "The Diary of Anne Frank" were included in the textbook used by a private English-language school in western Beirut.
Hezbollah's Al-Manar television channel ran a report slamming the book for focusing on the persecution of Jews.
"What is even more dangerous is the dramatic, theatrical way in which the diary is emotionally recounted," said the report aired last week and also published on the station's website.
It questioned how long Lebanon would "remain an open arena for the Zionist invasion of education."
A member of the school board, Jimmy Shoufani, told AFP the school dropped the textbook from its curriculum after the controversy erupted. He asked that the school not be identified.
Hezbollah officials could not reached for comment.
In the Al-Manar report, party MP Hussein Hajj Hassan had criticized the school for showing poor judgement in picking out its textbooks.
"These respected, established schools are teaching the so-called tragedy this girl lived, and yet they are ashamed to teach the tragedy of the Lebanese people, the tragedy of the Palestinian people... the tragedy of the people of the south under the hands of Zionist occupation," he told Al-Manar.
Paris-based organisation Aladdin's Project, which fights Holocaust denial and first translated Anne Frank's diary into Arabic, issued a statement condemning Hezbollah's "intimidation campaign."
Hezbollah fought a devastating war with the Jewish state in 2006. It has since refused to surrender its weapons arguing they are necessary to fight Israel, which withdrew from southern Lebanon in 2000 after close to two decades of occupation.
The militant party last month also took aim at another textbook used in a leading private school in Beirut in which Hezbollah and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas are referred to as "terrorist organisations".
The chapter in question is usually blanked out by Lebanon's censorship bureau, but an uncensored copy purchased by a student abroad apparently sparked the uproar.
Lebanon, which remains technically at war with Israel, bans the import of products from the Jewish state.
Attorney Naim Kalaani, a member of a committee to ban Zionist products, told Al-Manar that use of the book was a violation of Lebanon's penal code and "tantamount to a step toward normalisation" in ties with Israel.
However journalist and criminologist Omar Nashabe rejected such arguments as unfounded.
"The law talks about the state of Israel -- the Israeli flag, Israeli institutions, the Israeli entity, as a nation," Nashabe told AFP.
"Besides Anne Frank is not Israeli," he added. "Anne Frank is part of world literature."
He also pointed out that Frank's diary was available online.
Frank wrote the diary while her family hid from Nazi police and sympathizers in an Amsterdam attic from 1942 to 1944.
She later died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp at the age of 15, and the diary was published posthumously.

Learning How Animals Regenerate Body Parts
http://www.nytimes.com/
By NICHOLAS WADE
The best possible kind of regenerative medicine would surely be to entice the body to use nature's own methods to regrow a damaged limb or organ. The genes that made the structure in the first place are still present in every cell of the body but somehow repressed. Could they not be reactivated to make the patient as good as new?
Many animals do regenerate parts of their bodies. Deer regrow their antlers, and some lizards their tails. The zebra fish can also regrow its tail, and researchers at the Salk Institute have now taken a first step toward understanding how.
The minnowlike zebra fish, a common sight in tropical aquariums, is a standard laboratory animal, and although mice are probably more common in labs, they do not regrow their tails. The Salk team assumed that animals would regenerate a limb by using the same set of genes as were deployed during embryonic development, so they looked at a class of master genes that controlled an egg's development into an embryo.
These genes are governed by a special kind of dual-purpose switch, which represses the genes but prepares them for activity. Thus, the master genes spring into action the instant the switch is flipped.
These dual-purpose switches were at first thought to be confined to the egg and embryonic stem cells, where they were discovered three years ago. But the switches are now being noticed in adult cells as well.
The Salk Institute scientists — Scott Stewart, Zhi-Yang Tsun and Juan Carlos Izpisúa Belmonte — have now found that dual-purpose switches control many of the 100 or so genes that are activated in the regenerating cells of a zebra fish's tail. They report their findings in the current Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The switches consist of chemical modifications to the chromatin, the material that wraps and controls access to the DNA of every cell. Genes are most directly controlled through nearby regions of DNA that are themselves turned on by certain regulatory proteins. But a second layer of control is built into the chromatin, which has to unpack itself if the regulatory proteins are to have access to the underlying DNA.
Zebra fish tails can be cut off with a razor blade (the fish are anesthetized first). Within 12 hours, genes that are usually silenced throughout the fish's adult life are turned on.
The Salk biologists have found that a key event in this activity is the appearance of an enzyme known as a methylase. The methylase homes in on the chromatin and removes chemical attachments from one half of the dual-purpose switches, and the genes are turned on.
The team has shown they can prevent the cut tails from regenerating by giving the fish a drug that inhibits the methylase. Dr. Belmonte said in an interview that he hoped to develop techniques for the opposite process, that of initiating regeneration by turning on the methylase gene.
Do people have the same dual-purpose switches built into their genetic circuitry?
"It would be wonderful," Dr. Stewart said, "if we have retained the whole apparatus for regeneration but for the trigger."
One reason for hope is that the genes for embryonic development are very similar in all vertebrates. But in people, a wound prompts the formation of only scar tissue.
An approach to regeneration, followed in stem cell research, is to take an embryonic stem cell and try to nudge it down the right paths of development toward a particular kind of adult tissue. Nature, though, seems to do the opposite, starting with adult cells. In the zebra fish, the adult cells at the site of the wound turn into a blastema, a set of cells that have reverted to a stemlike state, and each type of cell then grows and divides to reform the muscles, nerves or skin of the missing tissue. The rationale of nature's approach is presumably that the adult cells know things, like their proper position and population size in the body, which embryonic cells do not.
"Both approaches are valid," Dr. Stewart said. "Human stem cells are much more in vogue and easier to obtain funding for. But we've said, 'Let's see how nature does it.' "

Can you help me?
thank you

A: A simple rule for including files via a relative path where you have not configured an application level include_path; always base the relative path from that of the current script, eg
// public/login.php

require_once __DIR__ . '/../src/App/Login.php';

Because you're including public/login.php from index.php, the include path includes the parent directory of index.php, ie mysite. This applies across any files included.
When public/login.php tries to include ../src/App/Login.php it is actually attempting to open htdocs/mysite/../src/App/Login.php.
Another thing you might want to try is configure an application level include path. For example, in index.php...
set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, [
    __DIR__ . '/src/App',
    get_include_path()
]));

Now your src/App directory is the first searched when performing an include or require so you can simply run
require_once 'Login.php';

Update
An even better solution would be to register an autoloader, for example (in index.php)
spl_autoload_register(function($class) {
    require_once sprintf('%s/src/App/%s.php', __DIR__, $class);
});

Then you can simple create your class without worrying about including the file...
$login = new Login();

"By the time I got into office we already had a $1.3 trillion deficit and we had exploded the national debt," he said last month during one of his backyard chats with Americans.
Just last Friday, the Treasury Department portrayed it as good news when it reported that the federal deficit in the fiscal year that ended September 30th was $1.294 trillion. That's less than the $1.416 trillion deficit accrued in 2009 - the largest federal deficit ever recorded. It was also less than the $1.556 trillion that had been initially projected for 2010.
"And then we've got to pay interest to China or whoever else is willing to buy our debt," he repeatedly argued in recent weeks.
The 18-member panel will report December 1st - after the midterm election.
The Commission, chaired by Democrat Erskine Bowles and Republican Alan Simpson, was established by Mr. Obama to provide recommendations on how to "put the budget into primary balance, meaning that the federal government will pay for all of its programmatic obligations."
The federal budget was last in balance from 1998 to 2001.


At least that is what the LA Review of Books is calling Pry, A Novella.
Pry is an interactive book sold as an app on Apple devices. It is written by Samantha Gorman and Danny Cannizzaro who collectively call themselves Tender Claws. There are five chapter and two parts, with an appendix and a table of contents. So far the work is not completed yet and part two is "coming soon".
After purchasing the novella and that first chapter is clicked, the reader is pulled into the life of James, a young man going blind and trying to cope with his past. Reading through the text, it prompts the reader to pinch the screen and see into James's subconscious, and also open his eyes open to see what is around him. In many instances in the novella the reader is very literally required to pry open the text and find what is hidden in between the lines.
Between the lines of text there are can either be videos or flashing words. These lend themselves to the development of the characters within in the novella, and how James perceives it looking back on the events that have taken place. Each chapter has a different way to view the information that is being displayed. In one chapter, the text can be pulled apart. Another chapter features text that expands almost infinitely in all directions. Another is read like braille, the reader traces their finger over the dots and the words are read aloud trough the speakers. The style and format of the chapter focuses on James losing his vision.
Pry is like a human mind. It is not clear almost any aspect, and it does not follow a straight line. Instead, it starts on a path, and will slowly add more and more details, often going on related tangents, but will pull itself back around again to the main point, much like any normal conversation between two people. What is apparent is also that James is not being completely honest with his story. He is not lying, rather he is just forgetting. By pulling the lines away from each other and prying into the story and his mind, more and more gets revealed. Prying reveals information to the readers as much as to James himself.
Pry offers a unique experience for reader and their material. By not conforming to the traditional page turning, paper bound practice, the authors can explore the many possibilities that the technology age has to offer.
The reading experience is different at each read. In the table of contents, all of the chapters are displayed for the reader to see, and on each chapter is a space for four little diamonds. As each chapter is read and information is revealed, the diamonds will fill in. Telling the reader how much, or how little, the story was read. This is a frustrating but also enticing to the reader to continue and finish the chapter. Each time is a new read, and each reader will have different experience with the text and videos and interactions.

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) -- David Pastrnak had two goals and two assists, Patrice Bergeron added a goal and two assists and the Boston Bruins beat the Ottawa Senators, 4-1, on Tuesday night.
The Bruins (5-2-2) snapped a three-game skid and beat the Senators for the second time this season. David Krejci scored his second of the season, and Tuukka Rask made 38 saves.
Thomas Chabot scored the lone goal for the Senators (4-3-1), who saw their three-game winning streak end to wrap a season high five-game homestand with a 3-2-0 record as they depart for a three-game trip Thursday.
Craig Anderson stopped 28 shots.
Boston made it 3-1 just 21 seconds into the third on the power play.
Bergeron tipped Pastrnak's shot, and then put the game out of reach as Brad Marchand dangled his way around Dylan DeMelo and found Pastrnak alone at the side for his second of the night.
Trailing 1-0, the Senators tied it late in the second as Chabot scored a power-play goal from just inside the blue line, but the Bruins quickly regained the lead.
Already shorthanded, the Senators were called for too many men, giving the Bruins a two-man advantage. They scored on their first shot as Krejci beat a sprawled Anderson.
The Bruins were without Charlie McAvoy (upper body), Kevan Miller (hand), Torey Krug (ankle) and David Backes (undisclosed).
Bruins: Host Philadelphia on Thursday night.
Senators: Play at Colorado on Friday night.

Metro Hartford's Job Sprawl Continues
A new report by a prominent Washington think tank shows Hartford's downtown lost more than 25,000 jobs between 2000 and 2010. Suburban jobs also slipped during the decade, just not as fast.
The authors of the Brookings Institution report have an anti-sprawl agenda, and they are worried that when job growth returns, it will be in office parks and industrial parks that aren't transit friendly.
"Because the location of employment relates to so many aspects of a metro areas growth and performance, land use, zoning, and economic development strategies should be balanced with housing and transportation planning to ensure that regions are not just growing more jobs or better jobs, but they are locating jobs in ways that promote accessibility and connection," wrote author Elizabeth Kneebone.
The report looked at the number of jobs within a 35-mile radius of downtown. Comparing metro Hartford to other urban areas with similar populations – the three right above it and below it -- greater Hartford had the largest number of jobs, with 515,407 jobs in 2010.
The seven metro areas – from largest to smallest: Lousiville, Ky., Richmond, Va., New Orleans, Hartford, Raleigh, N.C., Birmingham, Ala., and Buffalo, N.Y. – have populations that range from 1.25 million to 1.13 million.
Greater Louisville, Ky., which has about 37,000 more residents than metro Hartford, had about 7,800 fewer jobs than metro Hartford within 35 miles of its downtown. Metro Hartford includes Tolland, Middlesex and Hartford counties.
Of the seven cities and their suburbs, only Raleigh, N.C., added jobs during the decade – just 39,395 positions.
Only New Orleans lost a greater proportion of jobs than metro Hartford -- it lost 16.6 percent of its jobs and Hartford lost 7.5 percent. Hurricane Katrina was the largest reason for New Orleans hemorrhaging of jobs.
Birmingham, Ala. and Louisville, Ky., had similar levels of losses to Hartford -- 7.3 percent and 7 percent, respectively.

Q: How do I get a Nautilus shortcut to open on top of everything? I've made a nautilus short cut for almost all of my common folders. But when I press the keys to use the shortcut the folder do open, but they only open in the background. I still have to make a few clicks to see them infront of me.
I want to configure my shortcuts so the nautilus folders show up on top of everything. How can I do that?
Currently I am only using the basic System Settings keyboard shortcut function.


Please get in touch if you are interested in joining the group as we are always looking for talented and motivated scientists to assist in external fund applications.
At the moment there are not funded positions available.
If you are interested in joining the group as a PDRA, please visit the postdoctoral fellowship opportunities webpage and indicate which funding schemes you have in mind when getting in contact with Aniello.
We welcomes enquiries by email from potential PhD students from the UK and around the world who have (or are about to obtain) a good undergraduate degree in Chemistry or a closely related subject. However if your nationality is from a country outside the EU or the UK, you are classed as an overseas student and will normally have to provide your own sources of funding for maintenance and fees.
A PhD position is available in the field of synthetic organo-main group chemistry. This project is in competition with other projects offered by the School of Physical Sciences for one of a number of EPSRC Doctoral Training Partnership and Vice Chancellor's PhD Studentships.
The project will involve the synthesis of novel silanides under mild conditions and development of structure/property relationships for their reaction with simple organic molecules to give a deep understanding of this nascent methodology. The relationship between silane substituents and their reactivity towards alkenes will be established, and the stereocontrolled addition of silanides in chiral environments (e.g. chiral allylic and homoallylic alcohols, chiral additives and chiral ligands linked to the silanes) will be investigated to provide new routes to bio-active intermediates.
The successful candidate will be based at the University of Kent's Canterbury campus, and work under the joint supervision of Dr Ewan Clark and Dr Aniello Palma, experts in main group synthesis and synthetic methodology development respectively. The candidate will therefore receive well-rounded training in synthesis (including air-sensitive techniques) and characterisation (NMR, single Crystal X-ray diffraction, chiral resolution methods etc) and ample opportunity for personal development.
This PhD Studentship is due to start in September 2019.
Deadline for this position is February 8th 2019.
For further information or informal enquiries, please contact Dr Ewan Clark (Clark Group Website; e.r.clark@kent.ac.uk) or Dr Aniello Palma (a.palma@kent.ac.uk).
This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic research department. Please contact Dr Aniello Palma (a.palma@kent.ac.uk) to discuss potential research projects.

Extra Options. During the purchase of your cabinet doors you can also order the necessary veneer to apply on your cabinet face frames and exposed ends. This veneer material is available with an adhesive back, a peel off and stick affair. You can aquire it in raw hardwood and apply a get in touch with cement to both the drawer and the veneer. I no longer recommend that approach for most DIYers its messy and there are very little savings over the peel and stick veneers. Along with your display case door purchase you may also prefer to replace the cabinet drawer boxes, other options include get or roll out drawers, these trays, etc . These are great storage and back saver options. One thing the company I use has that can be hard to find is custom made bread boards. This is ideal for replacing the old nasty exhausted plywood breadboards that come with a lot of homes. Although it seems to be a fading trend to have integrated bread boards there are some people who really like them and nothing tones a solid hardwood bread panel, if built from quality hardwoods they will last a lifetime. There a so many other options such as organizer trays for silverware, waste products bins, that I simply just can't list them all here, although I would like to make you aware of them prior to tackling a refacing project so that you can perhaps further more research them and see it they may fit your needs.

MAID law undermines mental health
 care in Canada
By Daniel Zekfeld
Garifalia Milousis
In March 2021, Garifalia Milousis described her struggle with mental illness in a viral video
. "Had someone been willing to assist my suicide during one of those lows, I know the life I've lived would not have happened," she said. "As someone who struggles with mental illness, I don't need someone to tell me how to die. I need someone to tell me to stay."
In Garifalia's case, she was told to stay. But others are not. Existing safeguards around medical assistance in dying (MAID) are insufficient to protect the vulnerable, even as Canada seeks to expand it further.
A recent petition campaign tells the story of Donna Duncan, a psychiatric nurse who dedicated her life to helping those with mental illness. Donna's daughters explain that Donna had no terminal illness, but suffered from depression as a result of a prior injury. They also blame the isolation caused by COVID-19 for her decline in mental health. She was approved for MAID on Oct. 24, 2021, and it was administered just five days later. Her life was ended less than four hours after being released from a psychiatric unit due to her depression.
That this happened even while mental illness on its own is not yet an acceptable eligibility criterion for MAID shows the power of activist doctors and the risk to vulnerable Canadians.
Canada's euthanasia law already has some of the least safeguards in the world. And on March 17, 2023, unless the law is changed before then, MAID will be readily available to Canadians who suffer from mental illness.
Adding mental illness to the scope of MAID means it can be offered to a senior who suffers from dementia, or a young adult who struggles with anxiety and depression. Expanding MAID to those with mental illness will vastly increase the amount of people who end their life that way.
Nearly all Canadians agree that Canada needs better mental-health supports. But mental-health supports should never include MAID. Offering MAID as a cure for mental illness reduces any incentive to improve mental-health supports and treatments.
Multiple psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental-health workers have expressed concern that expanding MAID to those with mental illness will hurt those who suffer. It may prevent them from asking for help because they are worried about being offered MAID. It might cause them to think their illness is incurable when various treatments have not yet been tried. It could cause
them to lose hope and influence their desire to die.
Those who struggle with suicidal thoughts need suicide prevention, not suicide assistance. Expanding MAID to those with mental illness undermines the progress we have made as a country to reduce the stigma around mental illness. Rather than offering people a way to die, we must provide the supports they need to live.
There is still time for Parliament to repeal the clause that will expand MAID eligibility to mental illness before it comes into effect. Canada should focus on increasing mental-health supports and improving access to those supports instead of offering MAID, not alongside MAID.
There's one year left. We must not devalue the lives of those with mental illness. Let's encourage our government, and all Canadians, to support those who struggle with mental illness and to stop the further expansion of MAID.
Daniel Zekveld is a Policy Analyst with the Association for Reformed Political Action, which has recently launched the Care Not Kill campaign calling on the government to repeal the expansion of MAID to those with mental illness.

So a Trojan virus ate my computer hard drive, my computer is still not working so I am using my "notebook". I finally linked it to the wireless printer today. I am reduced to using my phone to take photos, which I then cannot crop as I no longer have photoshop... I have not posted yet this month as I thought posts and reviews of patterns without any supporting photographs were a little pointless!
This pattern calls for a seam down the centre front and the centre back, and I did not cut my material in such a way as to match the prints, and even with this busy print it really bothers me! If I made it again I think I would just make it cut on the fold and then slit the skirt where I wanted to add the Godets (Threads has a good article on doing this). I will still wear the skirt as I need more skirts. I think once I have finished this skirt I will move onto new patterns though.


Effective April 14, 2017, federal natural gas safety regulations require the installation of an Excess Flow Valve (EFV) on all new or replaced natural gas service lines to residential and small commercial customers whose total appliance load is no greater than 1,000 cubic feet per hour. The regulations also allow certain existing residential and small commercial customers to request the installation of an excess flow valve on their natural gas service lines.
An excess flow valve is a safety device designed to significantly reduce the flow of natural gas in a service line that has been broken between the gas main and gas meter. The decreased flow of natural gas reduces the risk of personal injury and property damage that could occur if the escaping gas ignites. However, an excess flow valve is not designed to protect against minor gas leaks on the service line or gas meter, or any leak on customer piping inside a home or business.
The illustration shows some typical causes of broken service lines, including excavation damage. Remember, the best prevention against damaging your service line is to have all below ground utility lines marked before digging. This free service is available by calling Tennessee811 at 811 (800-351-1111).
Current residential and small commercial customers, whose total appliance load is no greater than 1,000 cubic feet per hour, approximately 1,000,000 BTU (British Thermal Unit) per hour, may request Clarksville Gas and Water (CGW) to install an excess flow valve in their service line if one does not already exist. Per city code, customers requesting the installation of an excess flow valve will be responsible for the payment of the actual cost associated with the installation of the excess flow valve and cost associated with the maintenance, if any, of the excess flow valve. The estimated minimum cost for installation of an excess flow valve in an existing service line is $700, but the actual cost may be substantially greater depending on the site circumstances or conditions.
If you are interested in having an excess flow valve installed in the service to your home or business or would like more information, please contact a Clarksville Gas & Water representative at 931-645-7400 or email Gas and Water. A Clarksville Gas & Water representative will research the technical requirements of the excess flow valve for your service line, answer any questions you may have regarding excess flow valves, and can work with you to establish an estimated time for installation.
