Enterprising Veterans Affairs employees took to a podium Monday in Washington, D.C. to pitch projects for improving VA health care, hoping their novel ideas would win support -- and funding – for implementation across the department.
Taking a cue from the ABC show Shark Tank, the VA Innovation Demo Day brought these employee-entrepreneurs before a panel of VA leaders, including VA Undersecretary for Health Dr. David Shulkin, who said the goal of the event was to highlight programs that could work for the system at large.
"Those of us who have a chance to visit different VAs across run into staff who have terrific ideas and are working to make lives better for veterans, but those ideas tend to stay within these isolated VAs," Shulkin said. "The best thing to do was to surface these best practices and, once we believe they are making a difference, make sure they are consistently applied."
Since he was appointed to his position a year ago, Shulkin has sought to promote entrepreneurship within the ranks. Earlier this year, VA established a new Center for Innovation that oversees an "innovators network" to provide training, support and funding for problem solving.
The initiatives showcased at the D.C. event addressed several widely recognized issues at VA, from problems with access to care to suicide prevention, mental health services and technology.
The 33 projects pitched at the event included: Fitbits for aging patients and Apple watches for veterans in rural regions to monitor physical activity; using nurses to triage same-day appointment requests to ensure immediate care for those who it; and increasing access to complimentary activities like yoga, art and writing to improve wellness.
All were funded by one of three VA programs, including "Spark" grants that give $5,000 to $10,000 to get an idea rolling, "Seed" grants of less than $50,000 that can be obtained once an idea has demonstrated the project will work and "Spread" grants between $100,000 and $500,000 to expand the projects to other VA facilities.
VA Boston Healthcare System gastroenterologist Dr. Navin Kumar used a Spark grant to develop a smartphone app that would help patients prep properly for a colonoscopy.
Hooking his audience with slides of improperly prepped colons and unsettling statistics, Kumar said doctors miss pre-cancerous growths in about a third of patients who didn't follow the required bowel cleansing protocol before their procedure.
His app, developed with the help of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology student, guides patients through the proper diet, fluid intake and bowel prep the week before their colonoscopy. Following Kumar's presentation, an audience member asked to speak with him about patenting the design.
"This is great," Kumar said after meeting with several administrators and doctors interested in his creation. "When I walked in this room, I was like, where am I? It's so modern, which is not usually what people think of when they hear 'VA.'"
Shulkin said the employees selected to present at the D.C. event had to demonstrate that their projects were attractive to VA facilities beyond their own, and the presentations were streamed to major VA facilities, where staff members were watching.
"These are clearly ideas that not only can help VA but can help private health facilities around the country," he said.
Shulkin said he thinks the value of the demonstration day lies in the ideas that eventually will be adopted and those that have yet to be conceived.
"The VA had become a place that was so criticized that people didn't feel they were allowed to enjoy what they are doing. But when you combine the passion people have for caring for veterans with the ability to use their brains and implement ideas, it brings joy back to work," he said. "It's exciting."

"Every turn of the cards changes the situation. A good player isnt
waiting to see the next card. A good player is interpreting the environment and
planning their next move to bet, call or fold before the next card is turned.
The turn of the card and the reaction of the other players dictates which plan
is implemented. The point is that change is planned. Once your followers are
ready for change, you implement the plan."Andrew J. Harvey and Raymond E. Foster (Leadership: Texas Hold 'em

Articles on Leadership
and Decision Making
Problem Definition
A clear problem definition is the first, and, perhaps, most important step
toward rationally selecting the best alternative. Many dedicated and intelligent
individuals have produced elegant solutions for problems other than those they
were tasked to solve. Therefore, a good executive decision maker participates in
problem definition because this step establishes the goal for everything else
that follows and places a premium on professional judgment.READ MORE
Consensus Team Decision Making
The Westerner and the Japanese man mean something different when they talk of
"making a decision." In the West, all the emphasis is on the answer to the
question. To the Japanese, however, the important element in decision making is
defining the question. The crucial steps are to decide whether there is a need
for a decision and what the decision is about. And it is in that step that the
Japanese aim at attaining consensus. Indeed, it is this step that, to the
Japanese, is the essence of decision. The answer to the question (what the West
considers the decision) follows from its definition. During the process that
precedes the decision, no mention is made of what the answer might be. . . .
Thus the whole process is focused on finding out what the decision is really
about, not what the decision should be.READ MORE
Effective Decision Making
One of the critical, but often overlooked, requirements for effective leadership
is sound decision making. This is especially true as we soar ever higher into
the ranks of middle and upper management. Typically, as this progression occurs,
leaders become more focused on strategic decisions relating to plans, policies,
programs and personnel, and less consumed with day-to-day tactical concerns.
Good decision making, especially in middle and upper management, will therefore
likely increase overall organizational health and effectiveness. Understanding
the meaning and art of deciding, therefore, is paramount.READ MORE
Ethical Decision-Making: The Link Between Ambiguity and
Accountability
A growing body of literature thoroughly examines the topic of ethics in public
service from numerous, contrary, and complementary perspectives. What is ethics
in public service? Ethics in public service is the study of the nature of
morals and moral choices and the rules governing a profession that define
professional conduct (Bruce, 2001, p. xiii). How do we know if it is effective?
Who determines? How do we measure it? In answering these questions it becomes
remarkably clear that there are no absolutes. Nor is there any single school of
thought or theory to guide the inquiry. Why do we try to understand ethics in
public service? The answer is clear: because we intuitively know it makes a
difference.READ MORE
NCOs and Values-Based Decision Making
In the Army of One, senior leaders look to the NCO Corps to embrace a value
system that develops character and to lead soldiers. The Army depends on its
NCOs to create the environment and set the tempo for success in full-spectrum
operations. Successful NCOs anticipate change, exploit every opportunity to meet
the units objectives and motivate their subordinates to higher levels of
productivity to achieve the units goals. Successful sergeants promote Army
Values and take care of soldiers in the process. In short, they are leaders with
values-based decision-making skills.READ ON
Studies in Group Leadership How Should We Decide Elements of
Sound Decision Making
Making decisions and solving problems takes much time and energy. But most
groups allow little time and energy to selecting a decision-making model or to
evaluating the process once the decision has been reached or a solution
attempted. Ideally, decisions arise as a result of judgments and reasoning to a
final conclusion, unfortunately, that is not always the case. Problem solving
involves the organization and arrangement of several decisions so that they will
have some usefulness solving a problem.READ MORE | {

Girls Night Out - Smokey Blues
Hi Bellas,
I'm back with another makeup look from my Caress Girls Night Out Event. My friend Karla was wearing a sexy leopard print dress and I wanted to pick makeup that fit the occasion. To me, animal print can often be a neutral color. As a result, I went for a smokey eye (can't go wrong with that), but decided to mix it up.
Click here to see more!A lot of people who aren't used to color get a little scared when you try to apply something outside of the neutral category. The key is to use a "safe" color, in this case silver, and place it on the lid so that it fades into your brighter color. That way, the whole eye isn't too vibrant, but you can still add color in the middle and outer part of the lid. I picked more of a royal blue tone so that it would be a bit more wearable.
I used the bright royal blue from my Best of Both World's Yaby Palette. The color is super rich and pigmented. I also used a darker blue from my Barbie Stila palette as the outer v/contour color.
Karla was one of my last models in my chair. I think I had about 15 minutes to do her makeup...not too shabby right? It helps that I have most of my makeup in palettes...it makes for quick mixing and matching.
I loved how it came out...it really made her eyes pop, and I think the guys agreed because they couldn't keep their hands off her at the club, wink wink.
That's all for now, stay tuned for more makeup breakdowns from Caress Girls Night Out event!

[Construction of a deprivation index by Basic Healthcare Area in Aragon using Population and Housing Census 2011].
The measurement of inequalities using composite indicators facilitates the prioritization and implementation of public health actions. The most commonly source of information used for this has been the Population and Housing Census of 2011 (PCH_2011).The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of PHC_2011 and develop a deprivation index (DI) by Basic Healthcare Area (BHA) and to analyse its association with mortality in Aragon. Ecological study by BHA. Since PHC_2011 was a sample of the population it was validated by the Chi-square test for homogeneity. 26 socioeconomic indicators were calculated. Spearman correlation coefficients were used to evaluate the relationship between socioeconomic indicators and Standardized Mortality Ratios (SMR). Principal Component Analyses (PCA) were conducted using the indicators in which a significant correlation was found. Components with eigenvalues higher than 1 were extracted, and the rotated matrix (Varimax) was obtained. PCA from each component were conducted, extracting only one factor. BHA were grouped into, according to the deprivation index values. Mortality rates adjusted to the European Standard Population by age, sex and quartile were calculated. The most discriminant factor by quartiles was considered DI. A different DI for urban areas was obtained from the same variables. The validation of PHC sample detected 4 underrepresented BHA. 17 socioeconomic indicators were significatively correlated with SMR. From the first PCA, 3 components were obtained. The DI included %unemployment, %eventual workers, % insufficient education 16-64 years old and %foreigners. The % of variance explained by the DI was 59.7% and 73.8% in urban areas. In men, mortality in the quartile with the lowest deprivation (544,7 per 105; CI95%: 515,8-573,6) was significatively lower than in the most deprivated areas(618,7 per 105;CI95%:589,4-648,0). This new DI allows us to identify deprived BHA. This is a useful tool to bring to light health inequalities and to plan interventions according to population´s needs. | {

Slowly
"Slowly" is a 1954 song by Webb Pierce, written by Pierce and Nashville songwriter Tommy Hill (brother of singer Goldie Hill). The song was one of Pierce's more successful singles, spending seventeen weeks at the top of the Country and Western Best Sellers lists and a total of thirty-six weeks in the chart.
Beyond its success as a song, "Slowly" was hugely influential in the history of country music, in that it was among the first (and certainly the most successful to date) songs to feature a pedal steel guitar. The song's iconic intro, played by Bud Isaacs, was said to have sent legions of lap steel guitar players scurrying to their closets for wire coat hangers, with which they attempted to modify their existing instruments to get the pitch shifting effect achieved by Isaacs.
Cover versions
On August 23, 1966, Connie Smith recorded the song which appeared on her album Connie in the Country (1967)
In 1968, Jimmy Martin recorded the song which appeared in the album “Free-born Man” (1969)
In 1971, Jimmy Dean and Dottie West recorded a duet of the song, which hit the Top 40 on the country charts
In 1981, Kippi Brannon had her sole hit on the country charts with her version of the song
In 2014, The Haden Triplets (Petra, Tanya and Rachel), daughters of jazz double-bassist Charlie Haden, recorded the song for their debut album on Jack White's Third Man Records.

Surgical aspirator cannulas and suction devices have been used for many years to remove fluid from the body. These suction devices typically comprise a hollow tube, or cannula, having an opening at each end. The distal opening (with respect to the patient) is attached to a source of vacuum. The opposite, proximal, end is introduced into the body and fluid is removed through the cannula by force of the suction. Typically, when a vacuum is provided from the vacuum source, the fluid is sucked into the opening on the proximal end of the tube, through the tube, and into a receptacle disposed “downstream” with respect to the tube. Such suction devices may become clogged, requiring cleaning of the suction devices. This frequently occurs during surgical procedures involving suction of viscous and/or non-viscous fluid. | {

Two weeks into his presidency, the administration of Donald Trump appears to be entirely ignoring Palestinian leadership.
On Friday, London-based Arabic-language newspaper A-Sharq Al-Awsat reported that Washington has not responded to overtures by the Palestinian Authority, reinforcing top negotiator Saeb Erekat’s claim to that effect earlier this week.
The Times of Israel has learned that Jason Greenblatt, the administration’s special representative for international negotiations, met on Friday with three Palestinian businessmen with close ties to PA President Mahmoud Abbas, and informed them that the administration does not intend to build relations with the PA at this juncture.

According to Palestinian sources, the three met Greenblatt in their capacity as businessmen, and not as formal representatives of the PA, although they did have Abbas’s blessing. The sources said the three told Greenblatt that they believe a strong Palestinian economy is essential for the two-state solution to become reality.
According to the Palestinian sources, Greenblatt told the three that, for now, the administration has no intention of engaging with the PA. It was understood that the administration will likely only do so after Trump meets with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on February 15, the sources said.
The three businessmen did not respond to efforts to reach them on Saturday evening.
A spokesperson for the US National Security Council denied Greenblatt had said the administration did not intend to engage Ramallah.
“Earlier this week, White House officials, including Jason Greenblatt, held a constructive introductory meeting with a group of Palestinian business leaders who were visiting Washington for meetings with US officials, Congress, and other organizations,” a statement from the NSC read. “This meeting was one of many such engagements the administration is conducting across all issue areas. The assertion that Mr. Greenblatt said that the United States does not intend to have a relationship with the Palestinian Authority at this juncture is false.”
American relations with the PA may soon be put to the test, in light of Trump’s repeated promises to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The prospect of a relocation has angered Palestinian and Arab leadership, with the former threatening such action would create a regional crisis.
Since his inauguration, Trump has appeared to back away from that pledge, saying in a recent interview that the move was “not easy” and giving it no more than “a chance” of occurring.
In another development that may encourage PA leadership, the White House said Thursday that settlement expansion “may not be helpful,” in a possible blow to Israeli leadership that has seen the Trump administration as wholly supportive of the settlement enterprise.
In late January, a senior Palestinian source told The Times of Israel that Washington froze the transfer of $221 million which was quietly authorized by the Obama administration in its final hours.
US officials conveyed to PA Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah that the funds were not expected to be handed over in the immediate future, said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Erekat lashed out at the White House on Monday, telling Newsweek that if Trump’s first days in office were representative of the shape of things to come, “God help us, God help the whole world.
“We have sent them letters, written messages, they don’t even bother to respond to us,” he said of the new administration.
“It’s time for President Trump to… focus on what this region needs,” Erekat said. “What we need in this region is peace, what we need in this region is dialogue, what we need in this region is to bring Israelis and Palestinians back to the table.”
On Thursday, Trump met with Jordan’s King Abdullah II at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC. According to Jordan’s official news agency Petra, the two “agreed on the need to intensify efforts to reach a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
Stuart Winer contributed to this report.
Editor’s note: This story has been updated to reflect the fact that the NSC denied Greenblatt said the administration did not intend to engage with the PA yet. | {

Q:
Implementation of or in foldr and foldl' in Data.List
Here is the declaration of or function from Prelude
or = foldr (||) False
This implementation is fine if the list fields contains at least one True
If the list contains all False then overflow can happen and We have to reduce till last element
Here is the implementation using foldl'
or = foldl' (||) False
Here though it is inefficient since it has to reduce till last element of the list irrespective of the contents of the list argument. But we are guaranteed that we will not encounter an overflow.
So question is why not use the safer foldl' version
A:
If the list contains all False then […] We have to reduce till last element.
That is correct.
If the list contains all False then overflow can happen […].
That's not. Other than functions like (+), (||) isn't strict in both arguments. It only pattern matches the left one:
(||) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool
(||) True _ = True
(||) _ x = x
Therefore, if we use the definition of foldr for lists, we get:
foldr (||) False [False,False])
= False || (foldr (||) False [False]) -- use: False || x = x
= foldr (||) False [False]
= False || (foldr (||) False []) -- use: False || x = x
= foldr (||) False []
= False
However, if we use a function where both arguments need to be fully evaluated we get into problems:
foldr (+) 0 [1,2]
= 0 + (foldr (+) 1 [2]) -- cannot reduce (+), since it needs right hand side
= 0 + (1 + (foldr (+) 2 []))
= 0 + (1 + (2))
= 0 + (3)
= 3
Which is why you should use foldl' in this case. But for right-lazy functions like (||) or (:), foldr is perfectly fine.

I haven’t written much this week, on account of falling into a massive Fallout 4-sized hole (crater) in the ground. We’ll have that review Monday morning, but for now: Watch as I try to cover the entire week’s news in one go. Luckily it was a pretty slow week—aside from BlizzCon and that crazy Warcraft movie trailer.
I don’t want to set the world on fire
Speaking of Fallout 4, here’s a launch trailer:
N7 day
BioWare’s teasing some Mass Effect “surprises” for tomorrow, November 7, or “N7 Day.” Welll, sort of. The official word is: “While we won’t have any major announcements for Mass Effect: Andromeda this N7 Day, keep an eye out on Saturday for some surprises that we’re sure you’ll enjoy.”
Cryptic.
The weekly delay news
InXile announced this week that Torment: Tides of Numenera (a.k.a. sort of the Planescape: Torment spiritual successor) is officially delayed until next year, though to be honest I think we all had sort of guessed that already. There hasn’t been much news about Torment in a while, and a beta test is supposed to happen before launch. And 2015 is basically over and done with. Better luck next year.
2K’s hero-driven shooter Battleborn also got pushed back a bit, from February to May of 2016.
It’s not porn, I swear
The Witcher is headed for film. Well, technically it’s headed for film “again” since there was already a movie made in 2001, but I’d warrant more people outside Poland know about Geralt this time around.
The new film is being made in conjunction with the studio that produced The Witcher 3’s gorgeous opening cinematic, so I have (maybe) high hopes. Via a press release: “The film will be an introduction to the Witcher’s world and is planned to be the beginning of a series. The film will be based on themes from the short stories ‘The Witcher’ and ‘Lesser Evil’ from ‘The Last Wish’ collection.”
Paragon
Epic “revealed” a new game called Paragon this week. Barely. So far, this is all we have to go on:
Who took over EA’s body?
Is this real life? It can’t be. EA subsidiary Ghost Games says it will not be selling DLC for its latest Need for Speed (coming to PC in early 2016). Let me repeat: Electronic Arts is not selling DLC in one of its games.
In an interview with Vice, Need for Speed creative director Craig Sullivan said “Everything we’re doing is focusing on listening to what the fans are asking for. They’re certainly not saying to us, ‘Can you build a load of stuff and charge us for it?’ They’re not saying that, so we’re not doing that.”
“The plan is that there are no transactions in this game,” he continued. “All of the content that we’re going to give you—a pretty substantial amount in the future, starting pretty soon—is going to be free. That’s what players deserve.”
Sounds like CD Projekt Red’s evangelizing rubbed off on someone else.
Who took over Activision’s body?
Call of Duty: Black Ops III is getting mod tools on the PC. Seriously. And community maps. Seriously. Like, you won’t need to pay for maps. You will have an infinite supply of community-made content. Seriously.
This is one hell of a weird week for people who usually rant against DLC.
Hope you stocked up on VRAM
Ahead of its launch on November 19, Ubisoft’s revealed the Minimum and Recommended Specs for Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. They’re recommending you pack at least 3GB of VRAM for an optimal experience. Also 50GB of storage. Hopefully it plays better than last year. | {

While a variety of pillows exist in the market today, none have the specific purpose of simultaneously giving neck and back support, while also allowing adjustment of the firmness, as well as providing a convenient air pump to inflate the pillows for desired firmness and a convenient storage bag. The present head and chest support kit fills that void. The kit provides a convenient way to store and carry head and neck support pillows. In addition, a user can regulate the desired firmness, thus allowing the pillows to be adjusted to the user's constantly changing needs. The kit comes equipped with a pneumatic pump for quick and easy inflation of the head and chest pillows. The storage bag gives an excellent place to store the components and a means of carrying them. | {

When the Flyers drafted Valeri Vasiliev in the seventh round back in 2012, they were obviously hoping that burning a low value pick would produce a potentially high reward.
As Charlie detailed back in February of last year, Vasiliev was ranked fairly highly by Central Scouting before injuries and worry about his willingness to leave Russia had him drop into the Flyers' lap in the last round of the draft. Considering seventh round picks rarely turn out to be worth anything, it made sense for the Flyers to cast those concerns aside and take a chance on potentially skilled player.
Position: Defense
Birthdate: May 31, 1994 (21)
Acquired Via: 2012 2012 NHL Draft -- Round 7, Pick 201
2014-15 Team/League: Avangard Omsk / Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod , KHL - 2 G, 3 A in 35 GP
Nationality: Russian (Moscow)
Size: 6'2", 207
Contract Status: None
Ranking in August 2014 25 Under 25: 19
When we last reviewed Vasiliev, he had just recently made the jump from Russia's major junior league to the KHL, where he had established himself as a third pairing, "stay at home" defenseman. The general gist was that even if he was prone to the occasional blunder and wasn't putting up stellar offensive numbers, he was getting ice time as a teenager in a league with some relatively skilled players.
So what has changed since then? Well, his offensive numbers haven't really jumped too much -- he put up 5 points in his 35 KHL games last season -- and it seems that his progression hasn't come along too much. Vasiliev attended the Flyers development camp back in July, and Bill Meltzer (who is always great in terms of prospect reports) had this to say:
He has been in the KHL for two-plus seasons but his ice time and development rate have been sporadic. The player himself said that added strength is a must to play the style that makes him effective. His most recently reported height and weight are 6-foot-1 and 203 pounds. Thus far, he has been a passable young KHL defenseman on a third pairing but not a player who jumps out as a clear candidate for the NHL. Injuries have been an issue, as has lack of opportunity. Going from a strong Avangard Omsk club midway through last season to a much weaker Nizhny Novgorod (his third KHL organization) meant more playing time. He played well in nine games for his new club.
So, yeah, not much has changed since last year. Vasiliev is a serviceable third pairing KHL defenseman, but there's obviously no indication as of now that he'll ever sniff ice time in the NHL. It's hard to expect much more out of a seventh round draft pick, though.
Obviously, the kid deserves a bit more time before any final verdict is given on his overall abilities, but we're probably best at tempering our expectations. Plus, given that the Flyers have a fairly strong pipeline of capable defenseman, I can't imagine he'll be cracking the Flyers roster anytime soon.
Regardless, his potential upside and decent enough professional play are enough to earn him the 25th spot on our list. Here's a video of him scoring a fun little goal at World Juniors back in 2014:

With the signing of All-Star big man Al Horford in July, the Celtics put an end to the myth that top NBA free agents would not come to Boston. Several Celtics players helped recruit Horford with their active involvement in the process. A sizable contingent of players — including Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Marcus Smart and Kelly Olynyk — attended pitch meetings with top free-agent targets such as Horford and Kevin Durant after both hit the open market last month.
One piece of the team’s core who was notably absent at pitch meetings during free agency was Avery Bradley. While speaking at a Celtics and Arbella Insurance home court makeover unveiling event on Monday, the shooting guard explained his decision to stay on the sidelines during much of the process.
“I didn’t [recruit] that much,” Bradley said when asked by reporters about his attempts to recruit Durant. “Me and Kevin are like brothers so we talk all the time. So I’m not going to talk to him about that, you know what I mean? I was more asking him how he’s doing. I was actually with him a week before all that stuff went down at a camp in Austin [Texas], so I really wasn’t that much involved. I was more worried about myself, just getting healthy and making sure I was continuing to work out.”
Bradley and Durant both played basketball at the University of Texas. Even though their stints with the Longhorns were separated by a few seasons, they have developed a strong bond. While the 25-year-old would have loved Durant as a teammate in the NBA, he remains supportive of the All-Star’s decision to sign with Golden State.
“All I can say is that I’m happy for him, and I feel like he’s part of a great organization. And I wish the best for him. Kevin’s a really good guy and an even better player,” he said.
While the Celtics fell short in landing Durant, Bradley was not surprised that the team was able to add to the roster in a big way with Horford.
“To be honest, even though some people would say this is a tough place to come to obviously, I think if I were a player, I would want to come here. With all the history and fans, that alone would make me want to come here. I can’t speak for all the other guys in the NBA, but I wasn’t surprised at all that [Horford] would want to come here.
“Who wouldn’t want to be a part of an organization like this, with a coach like we have, and the type of guys that we have? Seeing how we are just growing every single year, improving every single year, I feel like every player would want to be a part of a process like this.” | {

Q:
Get radio button value by the group
I have a bunch of radio button on my single page, and I want to get a value from the checked one
Here's my HTML Code
<div class="row">
//first radio button group
<div class="col-md-1 col-xs-1 col-sm-1"> </div>
<div class="col-md-1 col-xs-1 col-sm-1 centerText" ><input type="radio" name="pertanyaan1" value="1"><br>1<!--<br>Awful--></div>
<div class="col-md-1 col-xs-1 col-sm-1 centerText" ><input type="radio" name="pertanyaan1" value="2"><br>2</div>
<div class="col-md-1 col-xs-1 col-sm-1 centerText" ><input type="radio" name="pertanyaan1" value="3"><br>3</div>
<div class="col-md-1 col-xs-1 col-sm-1 centerText" ><input type="radio" name="pertanyaan1" value="4"><br>4</div>
<div class="col-md-1 col-xs-1 col-sm-1 centerText" ><input type="radio" name="pertanyaan1" value="5"><br>5<!--<br>Ok--></div>
<div class="col-md-1 col-xs-1 col-sm-1 centerText" ><input type="radio" name="pertanyaan1" value="6"><br>6</div>
<div class="col-md-1 col-xs-1 col-sm-1 centerText" ><input type="radio" name="pertanyaan1" value="7"><br>7</div>
<div class="col-md-1 col-xs-1 col-sm-1 centerText" ><input type="radio" name="pertanyaan1" value="8"><br>8</div>
<div class="col-md-1 col-xs-1 col-sm-1 centerText" ><input type="radio" name="pertanyaan1" value="9"><br>9</div>
<div class="col-md-1 col-xs-1 col-sm-1 centerText" ><input type="radio" name="pertanyaan1" value="10"><br>10<!--<br>Incridible--></div>
<div class="col-md-1 col-xs-1 col-sm-1"> </div>
</div>
I've tried using loop like this
var pertanyaan1 = 1;
var isipertanyaan1 = 0;
$("input[name=pertanyaan1]").each(function(){
if($("input[name=pertanyaan1][value="+pertanyaan1+"]").prop("checked","checked"))
{
console.log($("input[name=pertanyaan1][value="+pertanyaan1+"]").prop("checked","checked"));
isipertanyaan1 = pertanyaan1;
// break();
}
// console.log(pertanyaan1);
pertanyaan1++;
});
but that code make the if useless.. The radio not filtered..
how to solve this ?
A:
No need to use loop to get selected Radio button value.
just use :checked
$("input[name=pertanyaan1]:checked").val();
$('button').click(function(){
console.log($("input[name=pertanyaan1]:checked").val());
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

PARTY TRICK: Dolphins are trained to tail walk in captivity. But until recently, it was very rare to see the behavior in wild animals.
MIKE BOSSLEY
Billie the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin liked to walk on water. She’d pump her tail vigorously back and forth, forcing her entire body out of the water, so she’d skim backwards along the surface as if she were moonwalking.
Mike Bossley, a researcher at the wildlife charity Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC), was the first to observe Billie performing the trick; he caught her doing it in the bays and estuaries around Adelaide, Australia, in the 1990s and early 2000s. At the time, it was common to see trained dolphins tail walk in marine parks. But Billie was wild.
“Tail walking in wild dolphins is indeed rare,” says Janet Mann, a biologist at Georgetown University who studies dolphin behavior. “I have seen it only once in 32 years of observing wild dolphins.”
Bossley’s now interested in what the behavior reveals about how the animals learn from one another. Billie probably learned to tail walk during a brief stint in captivity, he says. She was born off the southern coast of Australia, then trapped in a polluted harbor near Adelaide in 1987 and taken to a dolphinarium. She was never trained to tail walk, but watched the five other dolphins there train for three weeks. She was then released back into the wild.
In 1995, Bossley spotted Billie tail-walking in Port River estuary, just north of Adelaide’s city center. “I was out in my red inflatable boat, and suddenly she appeared right beside the boat and did a tail walk circling around it only about 2 meters away,” he writes in an email to The Scientist. He was surprised to see Billie tail walking, he says, but didn’t realize the significance of the behavior at the time—that a cultural trend was emerging among wild bottlenose dolphins in the area.
That started to sink in as Bossley watched Billie tail walk multiple times over the next few years, and then spotted another wild dolphin, Wave, doing it too. “I became very excited when Wave started to tail walk as well because I then realized what was happening—the behavior was spreading through the dolphin community,” he says. Bossley wanted to document the behavior, so, that same year, he enlisted the help of citizen scientists. More than 30,000 hours of observation later, he and colleagues at WDC described 11 dolphins—six adult females and five juveniles of both sexes—doing the tail walk between 1995 and 2014 (Biol Lett 14:20180314, 2018).
MIKE BOSSLEY
Among adult dolphins, “it is unclear why only females appear to tail walk, and again, why only some of the local females tail walk,” Bossley says. But the observations provide an example of the impressive imitative skills of dolphins in general. “Dolphins are excellent mimics, both physically and acoustically,” Mann says. The results support this concept and are “also consistent with the general finding that dolphins learn such behaviors when they are young.”
Based on the data, Bossley and his colleagues suggest in the paper that the mimicry illustrated by the spread of tail walking behavior might help researchers understand how wild bottlenose dolphins in the area have learned to adopt a range of foraging behaviors, from beating cuttlefish with their snouts to catching fish in conch shells.
Mann, however, says she’s not convinced by this argument because, unlike foraging behavior, the tail walk has no obvious biological function. “The context of tail walking was not reported in the study,” she says. “Was the dolphin alone, in a group? What happened before and after the tail walk?” To be absolutely sure of the function of the behavior, much more context for each occurrence is needed, she says. Perhaps then it could reveal clues about other learned behaviors.
One possible explanation is that the animals have adopted tail walking as a signal of some sort. “The behavior could be used to show other dolphins that the tail walker is exuberant or capable, which could serve as either a sexual signal or one to improve the group cohesion of the pod,” says Bernd Würsig, a behavioral ecologist who studies whales and dolphins at Texas A&M University at Galveston and was not involved in the study. That said, “I do not believe the authors have indications for these [signals] in this case.”
Bossley agrees that there’s no evidence in their study that the behavior provides fitness benefits to the animals. “I think the behavior is arbitrary because I am unable to detect any pattern to its performance. It is sometimes done when other dolphins are present, sometimes alone,” he says. “It sometimes [accompanies] a change in behavior, for example from foraging to traveling, and sometimes it does not.”
Why would wild dolphins learn to do this trick if there’s no biological benefit? “Fun,” Würsig suggests. “Dolphins do quite a bit for enjoyment.”
Whatever the role of tail walking in wild dolphins, it could serve a purpose in guiding conservation decisions. “The behaviour was not produced at high rates until decades after it was originally introduced, showing that anthropogenic impacts on behaviour can last for decades within populations,” Bossley and his colleagues write in the paper. Those anthropogenic impacts have to be taken into consideration when developing conservation strategies, they argue.
Nevertheless, this particular behavior is slowly disappearing from the wild population. Billie died in 2009, and according to the team’s observations, tail walking peaked right after that, in 2010 and 2011, with 62 sightings of the behavior each year. Then it tapered off. There were only 7 sightings in 2014—the same year Wave passed away.
The behavior, it seemed, was a fad. “What surprised me in the story,” Würsig says, “is how very long it took for [tail walking] to manifest, and that it had rather a short life.” | {

Reading skills, creativity, and insight: exploring the connections.
Studies of the relationship between creativity and specific reading disabilities have produced inconclusive results. We explored their relationship in a sample of 259 college students (age range: 17 to 38 years-old) from three Chilean universities. The students were tested on their verbal ability, creativity, and insight. A simple linear regression was performed on the complete sample, and on high- and low-achievement groups that were formed based on reading test scores. We observed a significant correlation in the total sample between outcomes on the verbal ability tasks, and on the creativity and insight tasks (range r =. 152 to r =. 356, ps <.001). Scores on the reading comprehension and phonological awareness tasks were the best predictors of performance on creativity and insight tasks (range β = .315 to β = .155, ps <.05). A comparison of the low- and high-scoring groups on verbal ability tasks yielded results to the same effect. These findings do not support the hypothesis that specific reading disability is associated with better performance on creative tasks. Instead, higher verbal ability was found to be associated with higher creativity and insight. | {

1. Field Of The Invention
The present invention relates to windows used in conventional buildings such as houses and particularly to windows that open by pivoting outwardly from their frames.
2. Description Of The Prior Art And Objectives Of The Invention
With the recent increase in the crime rate, in certain populated areas more and more home owners have attempted to secure their dwelling and other buildings from unauthorized intrusions. Various types of security systems and alarms have been have been devised such as shown in the jalousie alarm system of U.S. Pat. No. 4,449,121 whereby a jalousie-type window is connected to an alarm system wherein a deflection of the alarm strut or shaft will cause electrical contact to be made thereby activating an audio alarm. Also, a rotatable saw-bar is included in the alarm strut which will prevent the alarm shaft from being removed or cut by sawing. Other types of securty locks, alarms and devices have been made for a variety of window types. However, such prior art devices usually have certain weakness and problems associated therewith. Also, in recent years changes have been made in building codes for windows to help protect buildings and their contents in adverse weather conditions such as during hurricanes, windstorms and the like.
With the aforesaid problems and conditions understood, the present invention was conceived and one of its objectives is to provide an awning window which can be easily installed by a building contractor and which will provide both burglar and weather protection.
It is another objective of present invention to provide an awning window which include a rotatable transparent panel with a J-shaped lip which will engage a lip receptacle attached to the frame upon closing.
It is yet another objective of the present invention to provide an awning window with an alarm strut having an anti-saw bar and having an alarm switch mechanism therein.
It is also an objective of the invention to provide an awning window with an alarm strut with a panel lip receptacle attached thereto.
It is also an objective of the present invention to provide an awning window having a window sill with a lip receptacle affixed thereto for engagement with the lowermost panel.
Various other objectives and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art as the invention set forth in more detail below. | {

Philip's Story
"I remember going to school every day on the bus to St Austell from Truro and being fascinated by all the different houses built along the way. Looking back, that first interest in architecture was where it all began for me and when I left school nearly 50 years ago I resolved to become a surveyor. That goal was ultimately achieved and although now qualified as a Chartered Surveyor for many years I am best known as an estate agent having worked in the industry for 48 years.
Having spent the first 5 years in Launceston and Liskeard I returned to my home city of Truro and became property manager for a well known agricultural firm for the next 10 years. With Truro dominated by corporate agents I decided to open my own agency and took over premises in Cathedral Lane where my great grandfather had started business in 1876. I was local, a Cornishman, fiercely proud of both Truro and maintaining the Cornish identity and passionate about “planning” and the built environment. Many businesses have come and gone but 30 years later I am still here.
Agents are much maligned and in many respects they have been largely responsible for the bad reputation that exists. As a firm we have tried to maintain and portray a very professional ideology and meant in its true form being governed in all our day to day dealings by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. We are certainly less vocal than many other agents on what we have achieved over the years but the reality is we have achieved more than most and we continue to strive. I have always believed that recommendation is your best form of instruction and never take anyone for granted. It is said that, in business, loyalty is a diminishing quality with the general public and whilst sometimes bitterly disappointed by clients actions you can also be boosted by a clients complete trust and moral ethics.
Nowadays I am joined by 3 partners (all remarkably with a similar Cornish background) and with a total workforce of 16 I am proud that the ethos of the firm remains exactly the same. We are here to be of service, maintain professional standards but be understanding of your clients needs and do your best. With technology the world is constantly changing but there is still a real need for property professionals and Philip Martin will be here for many years to come.
Having sold and managed property from the banks of the Tamar to the tip of St. Just in Penwith we have an intimate knowledge of the county. Indeed WE KNOW CORNWALL, WE KNOW PROPERTY AND THIS IS WHAT WE DO." | {

Q:
Write group labels in first bar or above instead of legend
I have a stacked barplot with the following data
df <- expand.grid(name = c("oak","birch","cedar"),
sample = c("one","two"),
type = c("sapling","adult","dead"))
df$count <- sample(5:200, size = nrow(df), replace = T)
I generate a barplot and try to add the group lables to it:
ggplot(df, aes(x = name, y = count, fill = type)) +
geom_bar(stat = "identity") +
coord_flip() +
theme(legend.position="none") +
geom_text(aes(label = type, position = "stack"))
It produces:
Two to three questions arise:
How can I make the labels appear in the top bar only?
How can I make the labels appear in the center of the bar section?
Optionally: How can I make the labels appear on top of the top bar being connected to their sections by arrows?
A:
There is a link suggested above. That will help you. Here, I have another suggestion.
set.seed(123)
df <- expand.grid(name = c("oak","birch","cedar"),
sample = c("one","two"),
type = c("sapling","adult","dead"))
df$count <- sample(5:200, size = nrow(df), replace = T)
### Arrange a data frame (summing up sample one and two)
library(dplyr)
ana <- df %>%
group_by(name, type) %>%
summarise(total = sum(count))
# Draw a figure once
bob <- ggplot(ana, aes(x = name, y = total, fill = type)) +
geom_bar(stat = "identity", position = "stack")
# Get a data frame for ggplot
cathy <- ggplot_build(bob)$data[[1]]
# calculate text position & add text labels
cathy$y_pos <- (cathy$ymin + cathy$ymax) / 2
cathy$label <- rep(c("sampling", "adult", "dead"), times = 3)
# Subset the data for labeling for the top bar
dan <- cathy[c(7:9), ]
# Draw a figure again
bob +
annotate(x = dan$x, y = dan$y_pos, label = dan$label, geom="text", size=3) +
coord_flip()

The Qatari government hired John Ashcroft, the acting U.S. AG during the 9/11 attacks, in an attempt to rebut accusations that it supports terrorism.
Qatar will pay $2.5M to the Ashcroft Law Firm for a 90-day period as they attempt to confirm their efforts to “fight global terrorism and comply with financial regulations”, which includes U.S. Treasury rules, according to a Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) filing Friday with the U.S. Justice Department.
A letter included in the FARA filing penned by Ashcroft firm partner Michael Sullivan states that:
“The firm’s work will include crisis response and management, program and system analysis, media outreach, education and advocacy regarding the client’s historical, current and future efforts to combat global terror and its compliance goals and accomplishments.”

Jay Graber (left), a transfeminine person, was denied entry to PRYSM Nightclub for wearing a dress, Graber said. View Full Caption Courtesy Jay Graber and Yelp/PRYSM
CHICAGO — A Lincoln Park nightclub denied entry to a trans person who was wearing a dress, the person said.
Jay Graber, who identifies as transgender and uses the pronouns "they" and "them," said they were turned away because they wore a dress while trying to get into PRYSM, 1543 N. Kingsbury Ave., on Dec. 30.
Representatives of the club did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Graber paid $40 for tickets in advance and went to the club with a friend named Lux on Dec. 30, they said. Once there, Graber said an employee told them the two couldn't enter because Graber was wearing a dress.
When Graber said that was discrimination, the employee instead said Graber couldn't enter because they were wearing sneakers instead of dress shoes, Graber said. The employee told Graber they could enter if they returned with dress shoes, Graber said.
Graber and Lux went back to an apartment and Graber changed into dress shoes. They returned to the club and the first employee scanned the pair's tickets — marking Graber's as "male" — and motioned them toward the club entrance, Graber said.
But that's when another employee, a door manager, stopped the two, Graber said.
That employee "told us 'there was no way in h--- he would be letting a dude in a dress into his nightclub,'" Graber said. The employee also said Graber "didn't fit the dress code," Graber said.
Graber and Lux said they wanted to speak to a supervisor about ticket refunds, but were "laughed at, misgendered and ridiculed" by the employees, Graber said.
A supervisor eventually spoke with the door manager, Graber said, and Graber held up a receipt and showed the supervisor the dress. The supervisor "made a disgusted face," nodded his head no and went into the club, Graber said.
At the same time, several men and women — including women wearing dresses — were let into the club, some of them for free, Graber said.
Graber asked the employees what was needed to wear to get into the club and explained they had paid for the tickets, several rides between home and the club and they wanted to see the artist who was performing, Graber said. The employees laughed and ignored Graber and Lux, Graber said.
After waiting outside for 45 minutes, the employee who had scanned Graber's ticket approached and said he wished he could have let Graber and Lux in but that "he had been told that we would not be let in no matter what I was wearing," Graber said. The employee then asked Graber and Lux to leave.
As Graber left, they saw a person named Jazmine, who is agender and also uses "they" and "them" pronouns. Graber, Lux and Jazmine spoke and left to go to a LGBTQ-friendly club in Lakeview.
Jazmine, who has shaved, green hair, said entry was denied because of Jazmine's "general look." An employee said Jazmine's pants were joggers — a loose type of pants usually worn for exercise — and were not allowed, though Jazmine was not wearing joggers.
A friend had been trying to convince bouncers to let Jazmine into the club, Jazmine said, but once Jazmine spoke with Graber and Lux the employees "weren't having it."
"I have never had any issues until last weekend" getting into clubs, Jazmine said.
Graber posted about the incident on PRYSM's Facebook several times and messaged the club, but the organization has not responded except to ask for Graber's contact information several days ago, Graber said.
Others have shared Graber's posts and have written posts of their own on PRYSM's Facebook page, criticizing the club. The organization has not publicly responded to them.
Jazmine contacted the performer the three had been trying to see, a French artist named Madeon, on social media. The performer apologized and said he would try to ensure the three received refunds and free tickets to his next show in Chicago.
Brian Johnson, CEO of LGBTQ advocacy group Equality Illinois, said being denied entry to a public accommodation because of one's perceived gender identity "seems like a pretty blatant violation of the Chicago and the Illinois human rights ordinances."
Equality Illinois would encourage anyone with a claim of discrimination to contact the Chicago Human Relations Commission if the incident happens in the city, Johnson said.
Ken Gunn, deputy commissioner of the Chicago Commission on Human Relations, said victims of possible discrimination have 180 days to file a complaint with the commission. Once a complaint is filed, the commission will investigate the case and, if there is "substantial evidence of discrimination," the case goes to a hearing.
If the complainant prevails, the business that discriminated against the complainant can face a fine up to $1,000, Gunn said. The complainant can also go to court to receive damages.

ENERGIE RENOUVELABLE Au bord du canal de l’Ourcq, des dalles photovoltaïques éclairent la piste cyclable qui passe, non loin de là, sous un pont. L’expérimentation rappelle la route solaire inaugurée en grande pompe en Normandie en décembre 2016. Or, elle a mal vieilli
L'énergie produite par les dalles photovoltaïques permettent d’éclairer, en journée, la portion de piste cyclable qui passe sous un pont, à quelques mètres de là. — F.Pouliquen/20Minutes
Depuis janvier, le long du canal de l’Ourcq, 56 m² de dalles photovoltaïques posées sur la piste cyclable produisent l’énergie qui va permettre d’éclairer le passage sous un pont non loin de là. Et quand il y a du surplus, il est vendu et réinjecté dans le réseau.
La technologique est développée par Wattway, filiale du groupe Colas, déjà derrière la route solaire inaugurée dans l’Orne en décembre 2016. Près de trois ans plus tard, l’expérimentation rencontre des difficultés, de l’aveu même de Wattway.
L’entreprise n’abandonne pas pour autant cette idée de produire de l’énergie à même la route, mais privilégie désormais les projets de plus petites échelles comme celui de Bobigny. Une bonne idée ?
Une piste cyclable pour favoriser la mobilité douce… et pourquoi pas aussi pour produire de l’énergie ? C’est en tout cas l’idée creusée à Bobigny (Seine-Saint-Denis). Le long du canal de l’Ourcq, la première piste cycliste solaire a été mise en service en janvier dernier et a été inaugurée ce lundi par le département de Seine-Saint-Denis.
Le tronçon n’est pas bien grand. Les dalles photovoltaïques sont alignées sur 27 mètres de long et couvrent une surface totale de 56 mètres carrés. Pas de quoi couvrir toute la largeur du chemin de halage, si bien que bon nombre de cyclistes passent à côté des dalles, sans sembler les remarquer.
Éclairer sous un pont… et pourquoi pas plus ?
Il n’empêche, cette piste solaire cyclable s’acquitte de sa tâche. En sortie de piste, un panneau affiche en instantanée les performances des dalles photovoltaïques. Dont celui de la production d’énergie cumulée depuis sa mise en service, en janvier dernier. Soit 2.996 kilowatts/heure, l’équivalent de 440 jours de consommation d’électricité (hors chauffage) d’un foyer.

Cette énergie permet d’éclairer en journée la portion de piste cyclable qui passe sous le pont à quelques mètres de là. « C’était une demande régulière que nous remontaient les cyclistes, raconte Stéphane Troussel, le président du conseil départemental de Seine-Saint-Denis. Cette partie était très sombre et créait des contrastes importants au point d’éblouir les cyclistes. » Voilà pour la mission prioritaire des dalles photovoltaïques. « Le surplus d’énergie alimente également une batterie qui permet d’éclairer sous ce même pont la nuit, poursuit Etienne Gaudin, directeur de Wattway, filiale de l’entreprise Colas (groupe Bouygues) qui développe cette technologie. Quand cette batterie est pleine et qu’il y a encore du surplus – ce qui est souvent arrivé cet été –, il est vendu à Enedis et réinjecté dans le réseau Enedis. »
Dans la lignée de la route solaire en Normandie
Qu’on ne se trompe pas pour autant : cette piste cycliste solaire, qui a nécessité un investissement de 118.000 euros, coûte plus cher qu’elle ne rapporte au département. « L’enjeu n’est pas là, glisse Stéphane Troussel. Dans un territoire très urbanisé comme le nôtre, il y a des solutions plus simples pour éclairer un pont. Mais c’était le terrain idéal pour une telle démonstration et l’occasion de montrer notre attachement au développement des énergies renouvelables. »

Cette expérimentation n’est pas sans rappeler la première route solaire au monde inaugurée en grande pompe en décembre 2016, en Normandie. Et derrière laquelle on retrouve déjà Wattway. L’installation pilote alignait quelque 2.800 m² de panneaux photovoltaïques sur un kilomètre d’une route départementale à Tourouvre-au-Perche (Orne). Wattaway affichait l’ambition de fournir l’équivalent de la consommation annuelle de l’éclairage public d’une ville de 5.000 habitants. Et Ségolène Royal, alors ministre de l’Environnement, celle de déployer 1.000 km de ces panneaux solaires sur route d’ici à cinq ans.
« Pas un fiasco » pour Wattway
Mais deux ans et demi plus tard, cette route solaire normande fait pâle figure. Le Monde, dans un article paru le 22 juillet, évoque sans détour un « fiasco », « ni efficace énergétiquement, ni rentable économiquement ». Le quotidien évoque aussi des joins en lambeaux, des panneaux solaires qui se décollent de la chaussée, des éclats qui émaillent la résine protégeant les cellules photovoltaïques ou encore une portion d’une centaine de mètres trop abîmée pour être réparée. A cela s’ajoute le bruit des véhicules sur ce revêtement dont se plaignent les riverains.
Etienne Gaudin ne nie pas les difficultés rencontrées dans l’Orne, mais récuse le terme « fiasco ». « C’est une première expérience qui continue, commence-t-il. Il n’est plus significatif, aujourd’hui, en termes de production d’énergie, notamment parce que les dalles photovoltaïques sont anciennes. Elles datent de 2016, alors que nous avons beaucoup évolué depuis. Nous sommes en discussions avec le département de l’Orne pour les remplacer. Quoi qu’il en soit, ce premier site nous a aussi permis déjà d’expérimenter un grand nombre de technologies. C’est grâce à lui que nous sommes aujourd’hui en mesure de faire une piste cyclable solaire à Bobigny. »
La priorité donnée à de plus petits projets
Il n’empêche, Wattway évoque désormais ces routes solaires « comme des projets à mener sur le long terme » et privilégie en attendant des réalisations à plus petites échelles. « Nous avons aujourd’hui 45 expérimentations en cours dans le monde », précise Etienne Gaudin. Elles sont de deux types. « Les premières visent à permettre à des bâtiments [école, mairie, supermarché] d’être à énergie positive [qui produit plus d’énergie qu’il en consomme], reprend le directeur de Wattway. Nos dalles photovoltaïques sont par exemple installées sur les allées piétonnes aux abords des bâtiments et complètent très souvent des premières installations de panneaux photovoltaïques sur les toits. »
La deuxième configuration est celle, donc, de la piste cyclable solaire de Bobigny. « Sur ces installations, l’objectif est d’alimenter en énergie des équipements à proximité, reprend Etienne Gaudin. Cela peut être de l’éclairage public à Bobigny, mais aussi une caméra de surveillance du trafic au milieu d’un rond-point à Montpellier, ou des bornes de recharges pour véhicules électriques… »
Ces dalles photovoltaïques ne sont pas toujours la solution la plus pertinente. Elles ont notamment un rendement moindre que les panneaux photovoltaïques installés sur les toits ou en façade des bâtiments, que l’on peut incliner de façon optimale pour capter les rayons du soleil. « En revanche, lorsque le point de raccordement au réseau est éloigné de l’équipement que l’on veut éclairer ou lorsque le risque que les panneaux photovoltaïques soient vandalisés, notre solution a sa carte à jouer », estime Etienne Gaudin.
« Un gadget »
Marc Jedliczka n’est pas convaincu. Le vice-président du Réseau pour la transition énergétique (Cler) a du mal à voir dans ces dalles photovoltaïques installées au sol autre chose que « des gadgets » pour lesquels « on jette de l’argent public par les fenêtres ». « Un panneau photovoltaïque produit quand il est au soleil, lance-t-il. Si des voitures et des vélos passent dessus et génèrent de l’ombre, ça marche nettement moins. »
Surtout, pour lui la priorité est bien plus « de permettre le développement des solutions éprouvées, plus simples et aux rendements meilleurs ». Marc Jedliczka évoque notamment les installations de panneaux photovoltaïques sur les toits et façades des bâtiments. « En France, il y a d’un côté les petits projets, ceux des particuliers qui équipent leur maison, et de l’autre les grands parcs au sol que développent les énergéticiens, résume-t-il. Entre les deux, au niveau des écoles, des mairies, des immeubles de bureaux, des ombrières de parking, il y a encore trop peu de projets menés, notamment parce qu’il n’y a de tarifs d’achats [un prix d’achat garanti] que pour les projets inférieurs à 100 kWc [kilowatt crête, la puissance de votre installation photovoltaïque]. C’est trop bas. Nous demandons qu’ils soient étendus jusqu’à 500 kWc. » | {

[Function of CDK12 in Tumor initiation and progression and its clinical consequences].
Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) participate in many cellular processes and play a crucial role in the regulation of cell cycle and transcription processes. Recently, CDK12 was identified as a key factor orchestrating transcription of genes, such as BRCA1, ATM, ATR, FANCI and FANCD2, which are involved in the DNA-damage response pathway. Importantly, inhibition of function of these genes commonly leads to induction of genomic instability followed by cancer development, but the precise contribution of CDK12 to these processes is to be unveiled. Nevertheless, several mutations affecting function of CDK12 were already identified in a variety of tumors of different origin (ovary, breast, prostate, intestine) making tumors sensitive to cytostatics promot-ing DNA damage (platin derivatives, alkylating regimens) and inhibitors of DNA repair (PARP inhibitors). Such an effect has been already observed in the model of high grade serous ovarian carcinomas. Thus, CDK12 is becoming a potential therapeutic target of drugs causing synthetic lethality in these cells. Our review summarizes most recent information about CDK12 function in cancer and discusses potential use of CDK12 in clinics. | {

Q:
Issue with using ProtectContent - Spreadsheet gear
I am trying to make a selected cells of my excel to be editable and rest to be readonly.
Following is my code, I am trying to set the Locked property for the specified rows to be "False" and trying to protect the sheet
excl.WorkSheet(0).Range[0, myColumns.Count, rowCount + 2, myColumns.Count].Locked = false; // Unlock cells to not make them read-only by ProtectContents
excl.WorkSheet(0).ProtectContents = true; //Make all the locked cells read only
Say rowCount = 5, I would like to have the entire rows between 0-6 to be editable, but the rest of the fields in the workbook to be read-only.
But, the entire sheet ends up being protected rather than the cells that are locked only.
Can anyone please help me fix this
A:
I did this and was able to achieve what I wanted, but I am eager to know any other way to do this as well
IRange rows = excl.WorkSheet(0).Cells[rowStart, myColumns.Count].EntireRow;
rows.Locked = false;
excl.WorkSheet(0).ProtectContents = true;

Q:
Having trouble parsing Json with PHP
I have an android app that sends a json string to my server and it is formatted as follows:
{"drink_name":"testing","phone_number":"5555555555"}
When I use the command: SELECT * FROM orders, it shows that blank entries were inserted into the table.
I think my issue is arising from my PHP script (mainly because I am new to PHP).
Am I parsing the json correctly?
Below is the script that I wrote.
<?php
$handle = mysql_connect('localhost',USERNAME,PASSWORD);
if($handle==false)
{
die('No database connection');
}
$db=mysql_select_db('r2bar2');
$json = file_get_contents('php://input');
$obj = json_decode($json);
mysql_query("INSERT INTO orders (phone_number, drink_name)
VALUES ('".$obj->{'phone_number'}."', '".$obj->{'drink_name'}."')");
mysql_close($handle);
?>
EDIT:
Here is my Android code if it is any help.
protected void sendJson(final String phnNmbr, final String drink) {
Thread t = new Thread(){
public void run() {
Looper.prepare(); //For Preparing Message Pool for the child Thread
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(client.getParams(), 10000); //Timeout Limit
HttpResponse response;
JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
try{
HttpPost post = new HttpPost("http://kubie.dyndns-home.com/R2Bar2/sendOrder.php");
json.put("phone_number", phnNmbr);
json.put("drink_name", drink);
StringEntity se = new StringEntity( "orders: " + json.toString());
se.setContentEncoding(new BasicHeader(HTTP.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json"));
post.setEntity(se);
response = client.execute(post);
/*Checking response */
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), json.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
if(response!=null){
InputStream in = response.getEntity().getContent(); //Get the data in the entity
}
}
catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
//createDialog("Error", "Cannot Estabilish Connection");
}
Looper.loop(); //Loop in the message queue
}
};
t.start();
}
A:
I figured out what I was doing wrong. It seems as though I was passing in a raw data type. In order to parse the string, I used the following:
$obj = json_decode(file_get_contents("php://input"));
mysql_query("INSERT INTO orders (phone_number, drink_name)
VALUES ('".$obj->{'phone_number'}."', '".$obj->{'drink_name'}."')");
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

Q:
Rails 3 validation: two available checkboxes, can't check them both
I have a very simple object that needed an approved checkbox and a Declined checkbox
How can I check to make sure that both aren't checked?
A user should only check one, not both.
A:
As @Christopher Marshall pointed out - this functionality is accomplished by the radio button type. Just change type="checkbox" to type="radio" and make sure the name is the same

Q:
"In-place" MSD radix sort, stack space, and Stack Overflow's
I'm really confused the "in-place" MSD radix sort algorithm:
Each bin is then processed recursively using the next digit, until all digits have been used for sorting.
I'm confused because it seems to me that recursion implies O(n) stack space, where n is the length (in number of bits) of the longest string, right?
It seems to me that the only way to avoid a stack overflow is to use heap space -- but then the algorithm is no longer "in-place" by any definition.
How, then, can in-place MSD radix sort be possibly done in-place?
A:
I think that the terminology "in-place MSD radix sort" is a bit misleading because, as you noted, it's not an in-place algorithm under a strict definition of "in-place." The "in-place" terminology here most likely refers to the fact that, unlike LSD radix sort, the algorithm doesn't require an auxiliary array to temporarily store the elements from the original input array.
You are correct that the space usage of MSD radix sort is proportional to the number of digits in the largest input number. For notational simplicity, let's have n be the length of the input array and U be the largest number in the array. The runtime of MSD radix sort is then O(n log U), since the number of digits in the number U is O(log U). O(log U) is a very, very slowly-growing function. For reference, the number of atoms in the universe is about 1080, which is about 2240. Therefore, if you're sorting numbers that were generated by any physical process, the recursion depth will be at most 240, which while large is definitely manageable.
If you're sorting really large numbers - say, numbers with thousands and thousands of bits - then you're right to be worried about blowing out the stack. However, I'd argue that it's extremely unlikely that this would happen if you have a good implementation of MSD radix sort. There's a standard optimization in quicksort - which looks a lot like MSD radix sort - where instead of making two branching recursive calls, you make one recursive call on the smaller of the two ranges to sort, then recycle the stack frame from the initial call to sort the larger range. (This is essentially a tail-call elimination). Now, suppose you apply this to MSD radix sort. Since every newly-created stack frame works on the smaller of the two ranges to sort, you can guarantee that each new stack frame has half as many elements in it than the previous stack frame. As a result, the maximum depth that the stack can reach is O(log n) - not O(log U). In order for this to blow out your stack, you'd need a truly astronomically large input array, regardless of the stack size.
In summary: you're right, the algorithm is not in place. However, due to the fact that the stack depth is O(log U) in a naive implementation and O(log n) in an optimized implementation, you shouldn't need to worry about this unless you had a naive implementation and truly colossally huge inputs.

Jalan-Jalan and LeQuire Gallery’s Art & Antiques holiday event
LeQuire Gallery and Jalan-Jalan Antiques have teamed up to host a unique holiday exhibition and shopping experience 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday. Presenting “Stone-Flesh-Paint,” an exhibition by Canadian, New York-based artist Maggie Rose, the Nashville retailers will display the selection of large and small scale paintings throughout Jalan-Jalan’s showroom of rare, museum-quality Indonesian antiques.
Rose primarily explores expression, the color and texture of flesh, and her paintings often feature ethereal portraits of people, bovines and clothing bathed in natural light. Her new series of paintings are inspired by the idealized sculptures and friezes of classical antiquity.
The exhibition will move from Jalan-Jalan to LeQuire Gallery on Dec. 12, where it will remain on view through Jan. 20. Any artworks purchased in December can be taken home immediately.

If your Facebook newsfeed is like mine, you’ve probably seen a bunch of posts that say something like this one I saw this morning:
In honor of someone who means a lot to me…I’m going to say goodbye to some of you…… now I’m watching the ones who will have the time to read this post until the end. This is a little test, just to see who reads and who shares without reading!
These posts are like nails on a blackboard to me. There are a couple reasons. First, they misunderstand how the newsfeed works. Not all your friends see all your posts. So you can’t judge people by whether they respond—you can’t tell if they’ve seen it at all. Second, although the wording of each version of this sort of post varies, in most cases it implies “I read carefully. Some of you, though, are not being careful.” Can’t posters of this meme feel the smugness of the tone? It implies, “If you don’t read my long, wordy Facebook post all the way to the end, then you are a thoughtless and careless person.” Is that what you really meant to say? Third, the writer is imposing an obligation on his/her readers. Kurt Luther comments, “People’s timeless desire to impose chain letter-like obligations on others has made a smooth transition to the new medium.” Public Service Announcement: Please don’t post this meme.
I think that I understand the better impulse behind the meme. The poster is saying, “I have doubts about whether the connections we are forging on this website are meaningful. I am yearning for a deeper sense of connectedness to people I care about.” I like that impulse. So here’s my challenge: How can we express that desire for more meaningful connections without this obnoxious meme? If you have ideas, leave me a comment! (And thanks for reading to the end….) | {

As I'm sure most idol fans or just Hello!Project fans already know, a short PV preview was released for Morning Musume's upcoming new single Maji Desu ka Ska. This is the second PV preview we've gotten and the second time the fan's reactions have been split. Of course the reactions are split for all PVs. Opinions differ, personal preferences are taken into consideration, and quite honestly you can't please everyone. Despite, how hard you try some fans will always be disappointed by a PV due to their own high expectations. But, when I saw the PV previews for Maji Desu ka Ska I was impressed. I was honestly impressed. The song is upbeat, the dance is simple but high energy and cute, the outfits are vibrant, vivid, and cute. But I still found that a lot of Morning Musume fans still thought the PV was terrible. Because it follows the same formula that Morning Musume PVs have followed lately.
But then I started to think, why do fans hate this formula so much? Do they not realize this is how Morning Musume has always made their PVs? If they haven't, were they following the same group as I was? Morning Musume is my absolute favorite idol group. I follow them the closest, and I critic them the closest. When I dislike something they are doing I strongly voice my opinion about it. But it seems fans are negatively voicing their opinions just to voice their opinion. If you go back and watch all of Morning Musume's PVs they all follow the same formula. Close-up shot, dance shot, and then random scenes of the girls when no one is singing, which is usually a mixture of close-ups or full body shots.
Morning Musume has hardly ever made a PV with an actual story line, or something else going on besides this formula. I can literally only name a handful of Morning Musume PVs that aren't like this. And those PV are: Aruiteru, The Peace, Namida Tomaranai Houkago, Roman My Dear Boy, I Wish, Morning Musume no Hyokkori Hyoutan-jima, Do It! Now, Mr. Moonligh ~Ai no Big Band~, and Koko ni Iruzee.
You could also argue that Egao Yes Nude, Go Girl ~Koi no Victory~, Naichau Kamo, Souda! We're Alive, and Ambitious! Yashinteki de Ii jan count as well. But I don't count rolling in a bed, saying suki up-close, crying up close, jumping in heigh, or breaking fake glass as a story line.
I'm sure a lot of people reading this find that hard to believe. Since a lot of fans are waiting for them to make interesting PVs again. But all of their PVs have been the same. Even if you're consciously unaware of that fact. But make no mistake, Morning Musume follows that formula and so do most idol groups. And when I say you might not be consciously aware of this, I mean because directors have tricks to make a seemingly boring/low budget PV look more exciting or entertaining.
Now, that might be them having their close-ups in a more exciting setting then the rest of the PV.
Showing more shots of the setting/having them look like they are doing something. That eludes to a storyline without actually establishing one.
Have more than one shot of the dance. Seeing the same dance in different outfits adds the illusion that you're seeing something new, even though you're not.
Have them do something more interesting during their close-ups. Just because they are spinning and not standing doesn't make it less of just another close-up.
Have them wear more than one outfit, having another outfit makes the PV more dynamic. It also makes it look like it has a high budget and fans will often over look the lack of a storyline if there is more than one outfit.
Now, all of this might have been visually appealing and exciting but that doesn't make it a storyline. A storyline has dialogue that lets you know what's going on in it. Or it silently follows a storyline. Like falling in love, going to the beach, committing suicide, or just about anything really. Something that actually tells you a story while you watch it. Apparently Morning Musume fans want of all of Momusu's PVs to be Michael Jackson's Thriller video. But aside from AKB48, most idols aren't making PVs like this. Name the last idol PV you actually saw that had a storyline. I mean like the ones you see in American music videos. I honestly can't think of any. Within or outside of H!P.
Then if the storyline isn't a problem, what is? If you take the storyline out of a PV you're left only with the other pieces. Which are the dance shots and close-ups. Which are the PVs that JE and some 48 groups and subgroups are making, as well as lesser know idol groups. But I hardly ever see any of those fans complain. And I have to wonder if it's because the fans like that formula, or is it that these groups are so popular and on top of their genres (male and female idols separately of course) that they have nothing to complain about? I'm going to go with the second one.
Here are some idol PVs that are the same caliber as Morning Musume's PVs.
KAT-TUN-Ultimate Wheels
Hey! Say! JUMP-Arigatou Sekai no Doko ni itemo
SDN48-GAGAGA
Idoling!!!-Eve
Canary Club-Daisukki
Not Yet-Shuumatsu Not Yet
AKB48-Chance no Junban
And of course there are plenty more. But these are just the ones I could think of on the top of my head because they are recent.
But despite all this, it always seems like Morning Musume are judged more harshly. That Morning Musume is the only group making bad PVs. I don't understand the bias between fans. And I don't understand how harshly PVs are judged. I understand that sometimes a PV is so awful you have to complain. But every single Momusu PV gets judged harshly. No matter how much better it is than a previous PV or how similar other idol PVs are. It makes absolutely no sense to me. I might like H!P and JE the most but when their PVs suck I'm the first one to say it. And when their PVs don't suck I'm there praising it. These are idol PVs, and to expect them to be a masterpiece is ridiculous.
It seems like fans are also judging Momusu too harshy is because they have been around for a long time and are dwindling a bit. And hating on them is the cool thing to do in the idol fandom. But what about Arashi? They hardly ever release interesting PVs or ones that break the standard formula. But they have been around nearly as long as Momusu and sell significantly higher than them. And yet rabid Arashi fangirls hardly complain about anything they do.
I don't know, this is basically just a rant. And I'm sure I'll get a lot of comments telling me I don't know what I'm talking about. Or that they are an unbiased fan, so that in some way means all fans are unbiased. I think I might actually be one of the few truly unbiased fans out there. And I know that sounds extremely arrogant, but sometimes it does feel that way. I just really wanted to get all of this off of my chest. So, what does everyone think? Thoughts, opinions, disagreements. I'd love to hear other fan's inputs.

From what I observed, I think only fans outside of Japan are unhappy about the PV. The wotas are not complaining about the PV, it's the costumes the girls are wearing that they're having trouble with. LOL
I wasn't impressed that much with Chance no Junban or Not Yet's PVs either. I don't Kat-Tun's PV was close to Morning Musume's PV; they used some really cool editing. Now for me, I critique when I am just not impressed/ when I am bored. I'm not checking things off and I've even mentioned how impressed I've been with Momoclo's PVs considering how low budget, but fun they are.
I just like it when they are visually appealing and make me like the song more. Like: Nanchatte Ren'ai and Shou ga nai Yume Oibito. More outfits, interesting angles and camera shots, nice backdrops. If I like the song more after watching the PV then I like it. My main problem lately is that it is obviously formulated, which means they probably are doing a poor job because I am noticing that. (Arashi's Lotus uses that formula but I don't think about it while watching it.) The outfits and backgrounds have also been hit or miss for me. Plus, I might be subconsciously comparing AKB's and MM's PVs, and AKB's PVs have been really impressive lately.
I totally understand what you mean. Who else would not compare if there other good quality PVs out there. However, I do not think UFA gave Musume enough attention to allocate more budget to the production of the PVs. I can recall a few Kpop PV that are so much better quality and obviously have a better budget.
So rather to say it's formulated, I'm assuming that this is just the best the creative team can do for Musume with what little that they were allocated for. (^q^)
@Ryo: That's usually how it is. Foreign fans seem to make a big deal over things that Japanese fans don't even think twice about.Am I the only one who loves the outfits? They are like Naichau Kamo mixed with Maji Bomber. I love them! XD
I also understand about comparing if there are other good PVs out there, but for the most part idol PV are pretty much exactly the same. That's why I posted so many examples from different agencies. Hardly any other idols are making better PVs but it seems like Momusu is always judged the harshest.
Their are several reasons why Kpop PVs are better than Jpop PVs. But that's neither here nor there.
That might be true to an extent, but I think it's more beyond that. Other H!P fans said C-ute's Aitai Lonely Christmas and Dance de Bakoon, and Berryz Koubou's Heroine ni Narou Ka were amazing PVs. But they were nearly the same format as Momusu's were. For some reason Momusu is just judged the most.
@Mina: I wasn't that impressed with Chance no Junban or Ultimate Wheels, but I LOVED Shuumatsu Not Yet. Yes, it was simple but I thought it was energetic and fun. Much how I feel about Maji Desu ka Ska.That's when I critique also. But it seems a lot of fans are just way too harsh about Momusu for no reason. I agree on that. Momoiro Clover's PVs are usually amazing. But that's because they follow a storyline.
But more outfits and different angles don't really add anything to the PV, and are just are the same formula. That's what I was trying to say in my post. No matter how much camera effects a PV has it's still following the formula most fans claim to hate.I also think that, that makes a PV more dynamic and interesting. But most fans still complain. But if they are complaining about that, and Morning Musume has ALWAYS made PVs like that, I don't understand what they want or are expecting from PVs.I think they've always been obviously formated. I think it's impossible to not notice that they were. Watching Lotus you completely notice that formula. I mean it's basically the Monster PV in different outfits and backdrop. Arashi's PVs are worse then Momusu's. Lately their PVs have just been them standing. Like in Dear Snow, Hatenai Sora, and To Be Free. Yet, hardly anyone complains. Arashi fans are really intense. XD
The outfits and backgrounds are always a hit or miss for me too. Like in Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game. I hated the outfits, but I still kinda liked the PV. I don't really compare PVs unless they are weraing similar outfits, are doing similar effects, or have a similar backdrop. Beyond that I don't compare. AKB48's PVs have always been really impressive. They make the best idol PVs out there, in my opinion. They always have a storyline and are always fun to watch. I also really like Watarirouka Hashiritai's PVs. Valentine Kiss is one of my favorite PVs of the last couple of months. It's really adorable.
The main problem lies with us foreign fans as the people above have said. I think we are so used to seeing the high budget videos from American or world renown artists that we somehow expect that from MM as well. I think that a lot of MM fans somehow regard the group as being above the rest of the idols and therefore don't understand why their videos don't stand out from the crowd. I think everyone's waiting for some sort of shocking Lady Gaga moment from MM. They'll just have to make do with Berryz Gaga themed pv instead. lol.
That's definitely a main factor as well. I don't think foreign fans realize that American artist can spend half a million on a music video, and Japanese idols probably don't get any where near that much.I don't see why fans would regard them higher than any other groups. Maybe because they've been around longer, but beyond that I can't fathom why.Lol. Morning Musume is probably never going to make better music videos. Even at the peak of their popularity, their videos weren't all that amazing.
I would say that you're still a biased fan though, since you are defending MM which means your biased, just in their favor and not against them.
I don't think you need a super high budget in order to make a nice PV, and it would be nice if MM's PVs were more creative tbh. Souda we're alive is my favorite MM single, and even though the PV is stupid, at least it shows the girls doing different things and posing and being random and silly while doing the same old close up/dance shot formula. I liked Maji Desu ka Suka PV, but I feel like what people miss is the more relaxed feeling old PVs had or they want something a little more aesthetically appealing, like new angles and interesting backdrops and composition just so it doesn't look half assed (c-ute's shiny hotpant song (sorry, I don't remember its name) video featured the same dance shot/close up thing plus a chair and an apple, and it even recycled the backdrop from OOLG but people liked it because it had better takes and it wasn't as simplistic)
I would say I am slightly biased against them. But not in the sense that I think they are superior. More in the sense that I see how great they are, and wish everyone else saw it too. However, I don't think this post is biased at all. I'm just pointing out how people seem to judge Momusu's simple PVs harshly. But when other idol groups release simple PVs no one says anything. I also want to point out that I love most of the example PVs. The only PVs I didn't like are KAT-TUN's, Canary Clubs', and Hey! Say! JUMP's.
I agree you don't need a high budget to make a great PV, and that Momusu's PVs lately lack creativity. Because they honestly do. Souda We're Alive is actually one of my least favorite single. But I do love the PV because of how random and fun it is. I usually like PVs that are silly, fun, and energetic. I don't even really care what the set looks like if the PV is itself is fun. See, I would personally hate more relaxed PVs. I'm just not into them. Because with more relaxed PVs I seem to focus on the set and dance more. Which almost laways turn out to be horrible. Shiny hot pants song, is the greatest way I've ever heard the song described. It's Kiss Me Aishiteru, btw. And I actually didn't like that PV at all. XD The girls looked pretty but the PV was too simple. So simple I didn't even bother writing a PV review about it. >< | {

Mitochondrial cristae narrowing upon higher 2-oxoglutarate load.
Hypoxia causes mitochondrial cristae widening, enabled by the ~20% degradation of Mic60/mitofilin, with concomitant clustering of the MICOS complex, reflecting the widening of crista junctions (outlets) (Plecitá-Hlavatá et al. FASEB J., 2016 30:1941-1957). Attempting to accelerate metabolism by the addition of membrane-permeant dimethyl-2-oxoglutarate (dm2OG) to HepG2 cells pre-adapted to hypoxia, we found cristae narrowing by transmission electron microscopy. Glycolytic HepG2 cells, which downregulate hypoxic respiration, instantly increased respiration with dm2OG. Changes in intracristal space (ICS) morphology were also revealed by 3D super-resolution microscopy using Eos-conjugated ICS-located lactamase-β. Cristae topology was resolved in detail by focused-ion beam/scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM). The spatial relocations of key cristae-shaping proteins were indicated by immunocytochemical stochastic 3D super-resolution microscopy (dSTORM), while analyzing inter-antibody-distance histograms: i) ATP-synthase dimers exhibited a higher fraction of shorter inter-distances between bound F1-α primary Alexa-Fluor-647-conjugated antibodies, indicating cristae narrowing. ii) Mic60/mitofilin clusters (established upon hypoxia) decayed, restoring isotropic random Mic60/mitofilin distribution (a signature of normoxia). iii) outer membrane SAMM50 formed more focused clusters. Less abundant fractions of higher ATP-synthase oligomers of hypoxic samples on blue-native electrophoresis became more abundant fractions at the high dm2OG load and at normoxia. This indicates more labile ATP-synthase dimeric rows established at crista rims upon hypoxia, strengthened at normoxia or dm2OG-substrate load. Hypothetically, the increased Krebs substrate load stimulates the cross-linking/strengthening of rows of ATP-synthase dimers at the crista rims, making them sharper. Crista narrowing ensures a more efficient coupling of proton pumping to ATP synthesis. We demonstrated that cristae morphology changes even within minutes. | {

Carolina Falkholt
Carolina Alexandra Falkholt, with the pseudonym Blue, born March 4, 1977 in Gothenburg, is a Swedish artist, graffiti writer and musician. Sometimes she uses her own coined term grafitta, to describe her art. It is a play with the two words graffiti and fitta, the latter means "pussy" in Swedish but also with a Swedish grammatical habit of setting a gender to work titles where an "a" denotes female role.
Biography
Carolina Falkholt grew up in Dals Långed, Dalsland, Sweden. As a teenager, she moved to Stockholm to go to the waldorf school Kristofferskolan. At the same time she began painting graffiti under the pseudonym Blue. By the mid-1990s, she moved to New York City. There, as the only Swedish artist, she became a member of the two crews The Fantastic Partners and Hardcore Chickz. She worked with graffiti writers such as Sento and Lady Pink while making paintings around New York for the record company Rawkus to earn a living. Around the turn of the century, she was one of Sweden's most famous graffiti writers. After four years In New York, she moved back to Sweden and settled in Gothenburg where she is active today.
Artistic practice
In addition to spray paint and drawing, Carolina Falkholt practice involve collage, sculpture, installation, performance, film and photo. She often build up her drawings with endless amounts of circles creating a web, sometimes over vibrant colors. Typical motifs she has been investigating in her art is connected to the body, like eyes, ears, mouth, hands and the vagina. In many of her paintings of hands it is actually letters, since she is using Swedish Sign Language in her art. She is also a musician and has released records as part of her artistic practice. In several projects she has initiated various forms of collaboration with other artists, musicians, the public and organizations.
In 2010, Falkholt realized the big project Graffiti Mariestad that circulated around a now demolished silo in Mariestad harbor. During a number of months before the building was to be dismantled, the façade was painted while activities in and around the silo were ongoing. The project involved about 30 graffiti writers, including Nug, Rubin and Dwane, musicians, dancers, artists and hundreds of young people. The project resulted in one of the world's largest graffiti paintings. The project Graffiti Mariestad also resulted in Falkholt being commissioned to create a public sculpture in Mariestad, which was built, among other things, from material from the demolished silo. The twelve-meter high sculpture T.E.S.T. was inaugurated in June 2011. The whole process is documented in the book SILO.
Carolina Falkholt has had solo exhibitions at Gothenburg Museum of Art, Eskilstuna Museum of Art, Ystad Art Museum, Steneby Konsthall in Dalsland and Klippans konsthall in Skåne., among others. In 2013, she was one of the participants in Swedish Televisions (SVT) program Konstkuppen and that same year she curated and participated as an artist in the exhibition Mynningsladdare (Muzzleloader) at Röda Sten Konsthall in Gothenburg. In the same year, she participated in the X-Border biennial with the project Firewall with paintings in the three towns Severomorsk, Rovaniemi and Luleå and made the 16 meter long piece Wet Paint at Kulturhuset in Stockholm. Falkholt is represented by, among others, Gothenburg Museum of Art, Skövde Museum of Art and Halland Museum of Cultural History. In 2014 she made the painting Övermålning (Overpainting) as a commission for a highschool in Nyköping. She started by writing derogatory words towards women on the wall and then painted them over with a stylized motif of the lower part of a womans naked body. The artwork created a heated argument which was covered in media, both in Sweden and internationally. At one point politicians took the decision to build a wall in front of the painting. But Falholt and the painting had many strong supporters. The principal of the school said: "I see many pedagogic advantages to having her art in the school". After much debate the wall in front of the painting was taken down. In connection with this debate she made a performance at Konstakademien in Stockholm, where she invited politicians to Skenbröllop, a sham marriage with her. Two politicians said yes, Marita Ulvskog (Swedish Social Democratic Party) and Sissela Nordling Blanco (Feminist Initiative).
In 2015 she made a huge mural as a commission for the highschool Parkskolan in Ystad. The painting Untitled (Firewall), depict yet another stylized naked woman haning upside down with her legs in an unnatural contorted position. 2017 she was invited as one on the artist for the exhibition SculptureMotion at Wanås sculpture park, together with William Forsythe, Henrik Plenge Jakobsen, Sonia Khurana and Éva Mag. For this exhibition she did the work Train of thoughts, a railroad car moved to the woods, first painted white and then filled with her black circles creating an organic web over the whole surface.
In December 2017 she painted a 40 foot erect human penis on a building at 303 Broome Street, New York, NY. She signed the artwork on the lower right hand side. The mural was painted over by the buildings owner three days later.

Fuck the World
Fuck the World is a mural by Falkholt which depicts an erect blue penis and covers five storeys of an apartment block () in Stockholm, Sweden.
The work was unveiled in April 2018 on Kronobergsvägen in the Kungsholmen district of Stockholm. Falkholt whose work explores human sexuality said of it, "They should consider what it is they are so upset about and then talk about it" and "Sex is so important, but it’s always been too dirty to discuss."
Falkholt was confident that Stockholm residents would be receptive to the work and that it would avoid the fate of an earlier work of a pink and orange penis which was painted on the side of a four-storey building in lower Manhattan in December 2017, but was painted over after a few weeks. However following complaints from neighbouring residents, it was announced a week after being unveiled that the work is to be painted over.

Industry
Industry
Industry is the most important area of Ukraine's economy. In the current structure of Ukraine's industry a great proportion is occupied by heavy industry, especially the steel, machine-building and coal industries. A considerable part is played by the food and light industries. Top position is held by machine building.
The black coal industry is concentrated in two basins: Donets and Lviv-Vol-hynia. The largest centre of the brown coal industry is Kirovograd region. The oil and gas industries are located in the Subcarpathian and Left-Bank regions, but the extraction of oil and natural gas is insufficient to satisfy the country's needs.
Ukraine has a strong power generation industry. Large thermal and hydroelectric stations have been built. There are 10 nuclear power plants in Ukraine. Apart from the infamous plant in Chor-nobyl, others are to be found in Rivne, Zaporizhia, Khmelnytsky, the Crimea and Mykolayiv regions.
The metallurgical industry includes the ferrous and non-ferrous industries. Metallurgical plants are spread through three regions — the Donbas, Dnieper and Azov Coast regions.
The machine-building industry is presently the largest branch of industry. Instrument-making is one of the most scattered branch. A plant in Sumy produces such diverse instruments as electron microscopes and cine-cameras. An important place is occupied by heavy machine building, which provides plant and equipment for metallurgy, power stations and cement plants. A large plant is located in Kramatorsk and is a leading supplier of metallurgical equipment and powerful excavators. Smaller enterprises have been built in other centers of the Donbas and Dnieper area. Here large plants turn out powerful turbines, generators and steam boilers.
Shipbuilding is now an important branch of industry. Seagoing vessels are built at shipyards located in Mykolayiv, Kherson and Kyiv.
The motor vehicle industry sprung up after WW II, Buses are produced in Lviv, passenger cars in Zaporizhia, lorries in Kremenchuk, and both passenger and transport vehicles in Lutsk. Kharkiv has a specialized vehicle engine works. Aeroplanes are built in Kyiv and Kharkiv.
Farm machinery plants turn out nearly all types of soil cultivating, sowing and harvesting machines. The manufacture of tractors and combine harvesters is concentrated in large plants such as Kharkiv Tractor Works.
The chemical industry embraces the production of acids, alkalis, salts, fertilizers, dyes, detergents, plastics, synthetic fibres, pharmaceuticals and other goods.
The manufacture of building materials is well-developed in all of Ukraine's regions. Ukrainian limestone, sandstone, marble, granite, gabbro and labradorite already face thousands of buildings through the country. Cement works are located mainly in the Donets-Dnieper and Southwestern Economic Areas.
Ukraine's food industry is located mostly in the Forest-Steppe (sugar), the Steppe (vegetable oils), the South (fruit canning, wine). There are many textile enterprises in Ukraine: cotton (Kherson, Ternopil), linen (Rivne, Zhytomyr), wool (Chernihiv, Luhansk), silk (Kyiv, Cherkasy). Garment and footwear industries are located in large population centres. China and pottery enterprises have developed in Kharkiv, Sloviansk, in the area of Novohrad-Volynsky. | {

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have severed ties with four major tabloids based in the U.K. Now that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have stepped down from their duties as part of the royal family, the couple took another step toward distancing themselves by sending a letter to the editor of TheDaily Mail, The Sun, TheExpress and TheMirror.
As Buzzfeed reports, the letter was sent Sunday night and stating the couple "believe that a free press is a cornerstone to any democracy -- particularly in moments of crisis. At its best, this free press shines light on dark places, telling stories that would otherwise go untold, standing up for what’s right, challenging power, and holding those who abuse the system to account." After an opening up with a reverent declaration, it quickly shifts gears. Particularly when it condemns "an influential slice of the media" that "has sought to insulate themselves from taking accountability for what they say or print -- even when they know it to be distorted, false, or invasive beyond reason."
The letter goes on to explain that they've "watched people they know -- as well as complete strangers -- have their lives completely pulled apart for no good reason, other than the fact that salacious gossip boosts advertising revenue." At that point, the couple indicates that they will "not be engaging" with those four outlets. They went on to clarify that this was not a "blanket policy for all media," but they would no longer "offer themselves up as currency for an economy of clickbait and distortion."
On Monday, Markle also gave an interview with Good Morning America, although it was actually taped before the couple made their decision public. Much of the interview was spent discussing the Disney+ feature Elephants, which she narrates.
"I've been very lucky to be able to have hands-on experience with elephants in their natural habitat," Markle explained. When you spend time connecting with them and the other wildlife, you really understand we have a role to play in their preservation and safety."
Since the couple has decided to settle in Los Angeles, California, at least for now, they were spotted delivering meals to residents who've had their lives turned upside-down by coronavirus. It's part of their work with the non-profit Project Angel Food, which delivers meals to patients with illnesses that hinders their ability to go out in public. | {

Q:
How to access ItemsHost from a ItemsControl derived custom control
I'm creating a custom control called FooControl derived from ItemsControl have a default style defined for the same in themes\generic.xaml.
The default style for FooControl sets ItemsPanel property to another custom panel called FooPanel as below (I don't think the usage of custom panel matters for this question).
<Setter Property="ItemsPanel">
<Setter.Value>
<ItemsPanelTemplate>
<local:FooPanel IsItemsHost="True"/>
</ItemsPanelTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
In the code behind of my FooControl, I want to get access to the instance of FooPanel that was created automatically. By looking in reflector I found that ItemsControl does have a property called ItemsHost but I cannot access it from FooControl as ItemsHost is internal
Can someone plz suggest me a reliable way to get reference to the instance of FooPanel?
A:
Unfortunately the ItemsControl control does not expose a reference to this element (in fact, I have a feeling that the ItemsControl doesn't even have access to it itself).
Using VisualTreeHelper.GetChild() as suggested in the previous post may work, but it will break if the items control is restyled in such a way that causes the items panel do be nested further down.
A slightly less fragile (but still far from perfect) way to get a reference is to get the parent of the container for the first child (assuming that your items control contains at least one item)
Panel itemsPanel;
if (Items.Count == 0)
{
itemsPanel = null;
}
else
{
var firstContainer = ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(0);
itemsPanel = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(firstContainer) as Panel;
}
Note: This only works in SL3 and above since it uses the ItemContainerGenerator property (I believe a work around may exist for SL2)

Q:
K-Mean with Numpy
I have implemented the K-Mean clustering Algorithm in Numpy:
from __future__ import division
import numpy as np
def kmean_step(centroids, datapoints):
ds = centroids[:,np.newaxis]-datapoints
e_dists = np.sqrt(np.sum(np.square(ds),axis=-1))
cluster_allocs = np.argmin(e_dists, axis=0)
clusters = [datapoints[cluster_allocs==ci] for ci in range(len(centroids))]
new_centroids = np.asarray([(1/len(cl))*np.sum(cl, axis=0) for cl in clusters if len(cl)>0])
return new_centroids, clusters
def kmean(centroids, datapoints, n_gen, do_print=True):
clusters=None
for ii in range(1,n_gen):
new_centroids, clusters = kmean_step(centroids, datapoints)
if np.array_equal(centroids,new_centroids):
print "After %i generations stabalised" % ii
break
else:
centroids = new_centroids
if do_print:
print_clusters(clusters,centroids)
return clusters
I have left out the print_clusters method. It as expected, displays the current clusters using coloured plots in matplotlib.
Issues
kmean_step seems really ugly for an algorithm that can be described by:
Recluster the dataset around the centroids;
Recenter the centroids with their clusters.
I am a bit unsure about the termination conditions in the kmean function. I have read that they are:
Centroids don't move,
or Cluster membership does not change,
or number of iterations exceeds preset max.
I have the first and last of those, but the second seems like it will happen automatically by the first. If the cluster membership doesn't change, then the center doesn't move. Do I really need to include it? (it is surprisingly hard to implement) Or is it only included in the algorithm description for clarity?
Is this an optimal way to implement it? To fully take advantage of vectorized operations? I am a bit iff about having 2 list comprehensions, particularly since one immediately cases to a ndarrray.
A:
1. Code review
There's no documentation. What do your functions do and how am I supposed to call them?
There are no test cases. What gives you confidence that the algorithm is correct?
The algorithm is called "\$k\$-means" (not "\$k\$-mean") so I would name the functions accordingly.
The do_print mechanism looks as if it was added to help with debugging and then you forgot to remove it. Surely no user of this code is going to be interested in this? It would be better to use Python's built-in debugging facilities so that you don't need to add this kind of debugging code.
Similarly for the "After %i generations stabilised" message.
The steps in the \$k\$-means algorithm are not normally known as generations so you might want to choose a clearer name, for example steps or iterations.
The iterator range is exclusive at the top end. So range(1, n_gen) iterates from 1 up to ngen - 1 inclusive, which is probably not what you meant.
If n_gens is less than 2, kmean returns None instead of a list of clusters. It would be better to raise an exception in this case, so that the caller doesn't have to handle the exceptional return value. Alternatively, you could ensure that at least one step is taken. (Which is what I've done in my revised code below.)
Your chosen format for the return value of kmean (a list of clusters, each cluster being an array of datapoints) is likely to be inconvenient for further processing by NumPy. Generally in NumPy we want everything to be returned as uniform arrays. So if you do want to return the clusters (rather than the centroids), it would be better to return them in the form of an array giving the cluster number for each datapoint (that is, in the format of your cluster_allocs array).
Your implementation omits the initialization step (that is, the selection of initial candidate values for the centroids). It would make sense to include at least one initialization method (for example, Forgy) so that the burden is not imposed on the caller.
The kmean_step operations are hard to follow because the variables are not clearly named (what is ds? what is the e in e_dists) and because you have expressed all your loops in the form of list comprehensions. When a comprehension becomes so long and unwieldy that you feel the need to use obscure variable names like ci and cl, it's probably time to rewrite it as a loop.
The function kmean_step is not likely to be useful to the caller, so there's no good reason to put this part of the code in its own function. The component of the algorithm that's likely to be generally useful is the computation of the centroids of the clusters.
Pairwise distances can be computed using scipy.spatial.distance.cdist.
You don't need to take square roots: squared distances are sufficient to determine the closest centroid to each data point. So if you are using scipy.spatial.distance.cdist then you'd use the sqeuclidean metric.
2. Revised code
Note the docstrings, the example code (which you can run as test cases using the doctest module), and the simple and straightforward implementation. (It is a shame that there has to be a loop in cluster_centroids, but I don't know how to avoid it.)
import numpy as np
def cluster_centroids(data, clusters, k=None):
"""Return centroids of clusters in data.
data is an array of observations with shape (A, B, ...).
clusters is an array of integers of shape (A,) giving the index
(from 0 to k-1) of the cluster to which each observation belongs.

k is the number of clusters. If omitted, it is deduced from the
values in the clusters array.
The result is an array of shape (k, B, ...) containing the
centroid of each cluster.

(ANTIMEDIA) Arrowhead Springs, CA — “If Nestle wasn’t so powerful, I Strongly believe the Forest Service would [err] in the side of stream protection. We (everyone, both scientists and others) know enough to say removing water right now can’t help but make the drought emergency worse for those streams that are already stressed to the max.
“And yet, in all of this, water continues to run in their pipes, robbing it from this very critical watershed. And not just any environment. Very sad.” — Retired Forest Service biologist with over 40 years on the job, in a statement via email.
An ongoing investigation by the Anti-Media — sparked by Ian James’ series in the Desert Sun — into Nestle’s sourcing its bottled water from Arrowhead Springs, (located in San Bernardino National Forest) using a permit that expired over a quarter century ago, just made a rather stunning discovery.
“And, by the way, these aren’t springs as you and I envision a spring bubbling up out of the ground — they have horizontal wells that go into the mountainside, sometimes as far as 500 feet. And those horizontal pipes, of course, create a void; and water always seeks the path of least resistance, so the water seeps into their horizontal pipes and then drains out of the side of the mountain,” explained Gary Earney — who retired after decades with the U.S. Forest Service, where he was in charge of granting special-use permits — in a phone call with the Anti-Media.
California water is an unnecessarily complex topic that was further complicated when the continuing drought forced the governor to institute a system of restrictions and fines. Intended to ensure no individual or business would waste the precious resource, the restrictions and fines actually stratified and delineated the wealth gap — those who can afford to do so simply pay whatever fine is necessary to lessen the impact restrictions would create on daily life.
You know . . . what drought?
Previous articles in the series:
Avoid Saying “It’s Just Water” on Your Trip to California
Of critical importance to circumstances surrounding Nestle’s ostensible draw and collection of spring water — brought to retail bearing the label: Arrowhead 100% Mountain Spring Water — is the fact that the bottles bear the company’s claim its water is sourced from a natural “spring.”
To wit, compare the legal definitions for bottled “spring” and “well” water, under the Code of Federal Regulations: Title 21 § 165.110 (a)(2)(vi)(viii):
(vi) The name of water derived from an underground formation from which water flows naturally to the surface of the earth may be “spring water.” Spring water shall be collected only at the spring or through a bore hole tapping the underground formation feeding the spring. There shall be a natural force causing the water to flow to the surface through a natural orifice. The location of the spring shall be identified. Spring water collected with the use of an external force shall be from the same underground stratum as the spring, as shown by a measurable hydraulic connection using a hydrogeologically valid method between the bore hole and the natural spring, and shall have all the physical properties, before treatment, and be of the same composition and quality, as the water that flows naturally to the surface of the earth. If spring water is collected with the use of an external force, water must continue to flow naturally to the surface of the earth through the spring’s natural orifice . Plants shall demonstrate, on request, to appropriate regulatory officials, using a hydrogeologically valid method, that an appropriate hydraulic connection exists between the natural orifice of the spring and the bore hole.
(viii) The name of water from a hole bored, drilled, or otherwise constructed in the ground which taps the water of an aquifer may be “well water.”

See where this is heading?
No, It Isn’t Sping Water, and the Inspector General Has Known That for Years
By these definitions, and in the context of Earney’s description, an emphatically pertinent question is raised: Is the water Nestle draws from what is ostensibly the site of Arrowhead Springs, really what the company claims it is on the bottle — is it actually “spring” water, at all?
Conversation with Earney continued:
Question: “By any stretch of the imagination, can what they’re [Nestle] doing be described as pulling spring water, in your estimation?” Earney: “Actually, in my estimate, no — and the Office of the Inspector General, which did an inspection of that use a few years back, determined that Nestle was not taking spring water, they were taking groundwater.” During the call, he also verified water at the site of the springs is not, in fact, coming naturally to the surface — nor could it, given Nestle’s extensive piping infrastructure.
It’s important to note, as Earney emphasized, that the Forest Service has nothing to do with the laws and regulations governing water rights in the state. Because the supposed spring is located on property the Forest Service is tasked with maintaining, the agency deals purely with the infrastructure Nestle uses, and its maintenance and impact on the property.
About Those Water Rights
Nestle has claimed for years its rights to Arrowhead Springs date back to the turn of the last century — however, not-so-strangely, deed transfers marking Arrowhead Springs’ supposed migration through a string of dissolving and forming Nestle companies have been notoriously difficult to track down. A subject of contention for many, Nestle’s loud claims to historic rights are beginning to sound hollow when requests to view relevant documentation are simply shrugged off.
Could a deed from 1929 offer insight into Nestle’s reluctance to be transparent and forthcoming?
Clearly delineated in the text of this deed are rights to subterranean water at the site — but the only property denoting springs is Indian Springs.
Incidentally, as reported in The Pontiac Tribune, both the first and second articles in this series about the Nestle scandal were upvoted to occupy positions near the top of Reddit‘s front page. However — just as the second article seemed to reach its peak popularity — Reddit seemingly extended a corporate arm when the board’s moderators censored the article by removing it from the page entirely. Eventually, the reason for its banishment was said to be due to an assessment the article amounted to an opinion piece. Coincidentally, the article gained a spot at the top of the prized Reddit front page before anyone found this to be a problem.
In the Nestle vs. California drought debate, what is your opinion on water rights?
This is the third in our series of investigations into Nestle’s role in extracting massive amounts of groundwater in California during the record drought.

Q:
SQLite & Its Drivers
I'm new to the SQLite database, and more generally, to the concept of embedded databases altogether. I'm used to creating a connection string and connecting to a remote DB server (MySQL, MSSQL Srv, Oracle, etc.). I know this question is probably quite silly, but being in uncharted waters here, I can't seem to find the answer to this on my own.
So I'm writing a Java app that uses SQLiteJDBC as the Java driver for SQLite (the app's embedded db) and am creating the tables and inserting records into them from the Java app itself. What I'd like to do is download/install SQLite on my system - completely independent of the Java app - and then write SQL scripts that will do the "skeletonizing" (creating & insertions) of the database file itself, then copy that .sqlite file into my project directory where the app can then use it.
I'm just finding it incredibly difficult to develop database schema from inside the Java app itself; just seems like an unnecessary step.
So, my question:
Is this even possible? To create, say, myProgramDB.sqlite off the command line with the SQLite tool, and then (essentially) cut-n'-paste that file into my Eclipse/NetBeans project (of course, in the right directory!) and have it work? This is also assuming I have correctly imported the SQLiteJDBC JAR into my project through the IDE. I just want to create the DB somewhere else, then copy it into my project, instead of developing the DB through my app directly.
Thanks for any insight!
A:
Just think of the database as a normal file which your app refers to either by an absolute or relative file path, so with that in mind embed it in your project like you would any other file in Eclipse (or point to a specific location where you expect it to be).
If you're going to create your db manually, SQLiteStudio (http://sqlitestudio.one.pl/) is free tool which will help you build the schema.
It also lets you export the structure and/or data as sql statements, which you can then use to build a copy of your database elsewhere.

Prediction of the outcome of a phase 3 clinical trial of an antischizophrenic agent (quetiapine fumarate) by simulation with a population pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic model.
A completed phase 3 trial result was simulated 100 times on the basis of a simulation model of quetiapine fumarate (Seroquel), an antischizophrenic agent. The simulation was executed by analysts who were completely blinded from results of the actual trial until after the simulations were submitted to the holder of the trial results. Data from two clinical investigations of quetiapine in patients with schizophrenia were analyzed by use of nonlinear mixed effects modeling to derive a population pharmacokinetic- and pharmacodynamic-based simulation model. The time course of quetiapine concentrations was described by use of a one-compartment open linear pharmacokinetic model with first-order absorption and elimination. The combination of an inhibitory maximum effect pharmacodynamic model for the active treatment effect and a linear function of time for the placebo effect characterized the observed time course of change in the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale. Simulation results were compared with those in the actual trial to evaluate how well the simulations predicted the outcome. The actual trial results for all doses except the placebo group fell within the predicted Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale scores +/- 1 SE. Unlike the phase 2 trial, from which the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model was developed, the placebo group in the actual phase 3 trial showed deterioration of Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale scores with time. We conclude that variable placebo responses observed in short-term studies of schizophrenia provide an inadequate basis for the modeling and simulation of placebo subjects in clinical trials. Knowledge of the range of placebo response observed in other studies may have provided an improved basis for the placebo effect model. The model for active drug produced adequate predictions of the actual trial outcomes. | {

[The study of pancreas three-dimensional reconstruction based on the Virtual Chinese Human-Female No 1].
To study the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and 3D visualization of the pancreas and create anatomy of the digitalized visual pancreas so as to construct a concrete basis for virtual operation and surgical operation on pancreas. The digital imaging data of pancreas, duodenum, common bile duct, arteries and veins were obtained from the Virtual Chinese Human-Female 1 (VCH-F1) and processed using ACDSee and Photoshop so as to reconstruct 3D pancreas digitally and realize 3D visualization of pancreas. We successfully 3D reconstructed and visualized the pancreas and the peri-pancreatic structures: the duodenum, the common bile duct, the inferior vena cava, the portal vein vessels, the aorta, the ceoliac trunk vessels. The 3D and visualized pancreas manifested itself with its complete structure as well as its adjacency to other tissues. The 3D reconstruction and 3D visualization of the pancreas based on the digital data of VCH-F1 produces a digitally visualized pancreas, which promises us a novel method for virtual operation on pancreas, clinical operation on pancreas and anatomy of 3D visualized pancreas. | {

Yeah, it does sound kinda weird. I can't remember but I think his voice is gunna be the same for the english version as well. I'd love it to be his voice from Kirby: Right Back at Ya!! (awesome show by the way )
I guess it will be easier to unlock characters in brawl matches in this game than in Melee. In Melee, you needed 200 something vs. matches to unlock a character then 800 to unlock another character. It's easier in Brawl I should say.
It better be worth it for Wolf, I hope he isn't a rip off of Fox. And I'm pretty sure Toon Link will be better then normal Link.
I've seen some more gameplay footage with Wolf. His Reflector has a different look than Fox's Reflector. His upward and side smashes are different than Fox and Falco's as well. His up special looked different than Fox and Falco's up specials. I still have to see more footage with Wolf though.

What is different from Toon Link and Link besides the Boomerang? Does Toon Link use grappling hook to grab? Because I'm planning on using him and I don't want him to be exactling like Link from melee. | {

29 Trial Attorney, Office of
30 Immigration Litigation, Washington
31 D.C.
1 UPON DUE CONSIDERATION of this petition for review of a
2 Board of Immigration Appeals (“BIA”) decision, it is hereby
3 ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the petition for review is
4 DENIED.
5 Petitioner Yong Bin Chen, a native and citizen of China,
6 seeks review of the June 11, 2009 order of the BIA affirming
7 the September 26, 2007 decision of Immigration Judge (“IJ”)
8 Patricia A. Rohan denying his application for asylum,
9 withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention
10 Against Torture (“CAT”). In re Yong Bin Chen, No. A094 915
11 837 (B.I.A. June 11, 2009), aff’g No. A094 915 837 (Immigr.
12 Ct. N.Y. City Sept. 26, 2007). We assume the parties’
13 familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history
14 in this case.
15 Under the circumstances of this case, we review both
16 the IJ’s and the BIA’s decisions. See Yun-Zui Guan v.
17 Gonzales, 432 F.3d 391, 394 (2d Cir. 2005). The applicable
18 standards of review are well-established. See 8 U.S.C.
19 § 1252(b)(4)(B); Yanqin Weng v. Holder, 562 F.3d 510, 513
20 (2d Cir. 2009).
21 Substantial evidence supports the agency’s adverse
22 credibility determination. As a preliminary matter, Chen
2
1 does not challenge the IJ’s findings that: (1) he failed to
2 offer reasonably available corroborating evidence; and (2)
3 he provided inconsistent testimony regarding whether he was
4 baptized at an official “patriotic” church. Rather, Chen
5 incorrectly argues that “the BIA decision merely cited [his]
6 lack of detailed reference [to] the two arrest/detention
7 incidents in his asylum statement as the only basis for its
8 adverse credibility determination.” Pet’r’s Br. 6. To the
9 contrary, the BIA “adopt[ed] and affirm[ed]” the IJ’s
10 decision, noting Chen’s “changing responses when questioned
11 about implausibilities” and “lack of reasonably available
12 corroborating evidence.” Chen has therefore waived any
13 challenge to these findings, and they stand as valid bases
14 for the agency’s adverse credibility determination. See
15 Shunfu Li v. Mukasey, 529 F.3d 141, 146 (2d Cir. 2008).
16 With respect to the finding Chen does challenge, the
17 BIA reasonably found that his omission of his 2004 and 2006
18 detentions from his asylum application undermined his
19 credibility. This omission was significant because: (1) the
20 detentions were the central basis for his claim of past
21 persecution, rather than details to be fleshed out during
22 his testimony; and (2) he prepared his application with the
3
1 assistance of an attorney. Under the REAL ID Act, “an IJ
2 may rely on any inconsistency or omission in making an
3 adverse credibility determination as long as the ‘totality
4 of the circumstances’ establishes that the asylum applicant
5 is not credible.” Xiu Xia Lin v. Mukasey, 534 F.3d 162, 167
6 (2d Cir. 2008) (quoting 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(1)(B)(iii)).
7 Thus, Chen’s omission of his detentions, one of which
8 allegedly lasted for ten days with minimal food, was a
9 proper basis for the agency’s adverse credibility
10 determination. Furthermore, the BIA did not err in
11 rejecting Chen’s explanation that he did not include the
12 detentions in his asylum application because he planned to
13 supplement the application in light of the fact that he
14 included a supplemental statement with the application at
15 the time of filing. See Majidi v. Gonzales, 430 F.3d 77,
16 80-81 (2d Cir. 2005) (the agency need not credit an
17 applicant’s explanations for inconsistent testimony unless
18 those explanations would compel a reasonable fact-finder to
19 do so).
20 Ultimately, the agency’s credibility determination was
21 supported by substantial evidence. See 8 U.S.C.
22 § 1252(b)(4)(B); Xiu Xia Lin, 534 F.3d at 167. Therefore,
4
1 it did not err in denying Chen’s application for asylum and
2 withholding of removal. See Paul v. Gonzales, 444 F.3d 148,
3 156 (2d Cir. 2006). Chen does not challenge the agency’s
4 denial of CAT relief.
5 For the foregoing reasons, the petition for review is
6 DENIED. As we have completed our review, any stay of
7 removal that the Court previously granted in this petition
8 is VACATED, and any pending motion for a stay of removal in
9 this petition is DISMISSED as moot. Any pending request for
10 oral argument in this petition is DENIED in accordance with
11 Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 34(a)(2), and Second
12 Circuit Local Rule 34.1(b).
13 FOR THE COURT:

The official blog of the Clarion Foundation: discussing the art, craft, and business of speculative fiction.
In Their Own Words: Clarion And You, by Brooke Bolander
The following is the beginning of a series of posts by Clarion alumni, talking about what Clarion means to them.
The application period for the 2012 Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers’ Workshop at UC San Diego officially opened on December 1, and will remain open until March 1. If you’ve been thinking about applying, start tapping on those keys now. We’ve got a wonderful faculty waiting in the wings, featuring Jeffrey Ford, Marjorie Liu, Ted Chiang, Walter Jon Williams, Holly Black, and Cassandra Clare. Thanks to Clarion’s friends and supporters, there is scholarship money for those who need it. In addition to general scholarships, there are special grants for students of color, students who are affiliated with Michigan State University, and students who are affiliated with UCSD. Get further information on the web at http://clarion.ucsd.edu.
So it’s that time of the year again, kids. The season when a young writer’s fancy turns to thoughts of Clarion and how many goats will have to be sacrificed to gain entry into that sacred realm. From now until the deadline you won’t be able to spit without hitting an encouraging post by an alumni telling you why you need to, nay, must apply if you’re at all serious about this writing thing, and there’s a very good reason for that. Are you sitting down? Have you taken a good, cheek-bulging mouthful of your beverage of choice so you can execute a proper spit-take?
Here it comes: because it’s fucking true.
This is not some dark conspiracy dreamed up by a shadowy group of chain-smoking, half-lit ner-do-wells working on behalf of the Secret Cabal of Genre Authors and UCSD Bigwigs, weaving their wicked webs to Steal Your Money from some leather-and-mahogany den beneath the lit department. It’s not rose-coloured nostalgia for a time when, for six whole weeks, you lived in a magic bubble by the sea where everyone around you was a writer and believed fully in your talents. Clarion works. I can’t say it works for everybody because what the hell ever does, but nine times out of ten you are going to come out of this thing a stronger, wiser writer, fully aware of both your strengths and your weaknesses. The instructors and more importantly the other students will teach you what works and what doesn’t. When you are sad, they will pick you up, dust you off, and buy you an ice cream cone, even if that sadness is because they just gently tore your story a new back passage. When you make a sale, they will be there to get rip-roaringly drunk alongside you and trumpet your praises to the heavens. And when you leave? You go with all those connections, all those little strands, all those I know a guy who knows a guy threads that honestly really, really help when you’re just starting out. Connections are important. They are so fucking important, and you leave with a host of them tied to your wrists like balloons, in addition to being a fully-fledged Clarion Alumni. These people are going to be your pack from now on. They’ll understand what you’re going through even when the well-meaning folks back home don’t.
I know I haven’t gone into a lot of depth about the actual teaching process and how effective it is, but I don’t need to tell you that; Clarion’s track record speaks for itself. It is VERY fucking good. The major thing – for me, at least – was growing an entirely new family that pummeled me into believing in myself. Teachers, other students, they all know you can do it, even when you don’t. If you’re anything like me, you’ll come back with a little more self-confidence, and that’s half your battle won.
Brooke Bolander writes weird things of indeterminate genre, most of them leaning rather heavily towards fantasy. She had to be bodily forced into applying to Clarion, finally doing so two days before deadline. She studied History and Archaeology at the University of Leicester and is an alum of the 2011 Clarion Writers’ Workshop. Since the end of the workshop she has sold to Lightspeed and Strange Horizons and is very, very grateful to the friends who goaded her into the whole affair.
Her hobbies include bizarre video games, drinking, and marksmanship, not necessarily all at the same time. She lives wherever she currently is and can be reached at @BBolander or at her website, brookebolander.com. | {

Q:
Model Binder of Json.Net not being used when i post an object
To clarify...
I configure my WebApiConfig like so:
config.Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.Binder = new TypeNameSerializationBinder("namespace.{0}, assembly");
config.Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.TypeNameHandling = TypeNameHandling.Auto;
This should allow me to bind derived classes to base class.
And binder does work when WebApi serializes objects to JSON, and sends them to client, but when I post them back to server, the binder isn't used (BindToType method never gets called), and my objects get bound to base class.
When i serialize/deserialize objects manually with this settings it all works fine.
Any ideas?
A:
After some research, I found that this is a bug in ASP.NET Web Api. When the url encoded parameters are parsed, it just creates a new JsonSerializer (without passing global settings).
I filed it here

A pregnant woman has morning sickness so severe she can’t keep food down, so she stirs some cannabis-infused oil into her morning tea to regain her appetite.
An elderly man has chronic pain that keeps him up at night, so he smokes marijuana most nights before he and his wife go to bed.
There’s a growing body of research that suggests marijuana can help with conditions such as nausea and pain while posing only modest health risks for adults. But as Californians get ready to vote Nov. 8 on whether to legalize recreational marijuana, there are broader public health questions to consider, from whether it affects developing fetuses to the impact of secondhand smoke.
“We often hear there are no negative effects,” said Kevin Alexander, who works with addicts at Hoag Hospital’s ASPIRE program in Newport Beach. “But we need more research and information on how it would affect us as a community and the societal impacts.”
The Register is continuing a series that surveys research and interviews experts on common questions about marijuana use: the potential health risks, issues of government regulation and the experience of states where recreational cannabis is legal.
Q. Is cannabis dangerous for pregnant women?
A. There’s no level of marijuana use that’s considered “safe” for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, per the experts, just as there’s no safe level of alcohol, tobacco or many other substances.
While expectant moms report using marijuana to ease severe morning sickness, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends they stop using cannabis until they’re finished breastfeeding.
“Although we still need more research on the topic, the data we do have raises concerns regarding negative effects of marijuana on the growing fetus,” said Dr. Joseph Wax with the organization.
Research published in the journal Psychopharmacology found that even low doses of marijuana in pregnant rats produced offspring with learning delays plus tremors and unusual emotional behavior.
A 2010 study by researchers out of the University of Pittsburgh studied children at 10 years old who’d been exposed to marijuana during pregnancy. They found these children were more likely to miss school and show early signs of depression and attention disorders.
The Pittsburgh study’s authors pointed out that they couldn’t say how environment or family might play into that equation, though, noting it’s possible that a mother who smoked marijuana while pregnant simply passed along a predisposition for risky behavior.
More research is underway. But the American Medical Association feels there’s enough evidence of risk to push for this warning on all marijuana products: “Marijuana use during pregnancy and breastfeeding poses potential harms.”
Q. Does smoking marijuana cause lung cancer?
A. The cancer link appears increasingly weak, though more research is needed.
Marijuana contains many compounds also found in tobacco, including some known to cause cancer. That’s triggered reports suggesting that smoking marijuana must be more dangerous, since it’s typically inhaled more deeply and held in the lungs longer than tobacco.
However, the research so far suggests otherwise.
A comprehensive 2014 study published in the International Journal of Cancer found “little evidence for an increased risk of lung cancer,” even among heavy or long-term cannabis smokers. Those results are buoyed by a number of other large studies, including an examination out of UCLA in 2006 that was funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
One possible explanation is that marijuana users typically don’t smoke as often as tobacco users.
Dr. Donald Tashkin, a pulmonologist who led the UCLA study, suggested marijuana doesn’t pose the same cancer risk as tobacco because THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, has been found to slow the growth of some cancers.
THC is known to reduce inflammation, too, Tashkin points out, which may explain why there also doesn’t appear to be a link between marijuana and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which plagues cigarette smokers.
Several studies have shown a correlation between heavy marijuana smoking and other respiratory conditions, such as chronic bronchitis.
There’s an alternative, advocates say: Don’t smoke it. While edibles and concentrates come with their own set of risks, lung issues aren’t among them.
Q. Is secondhand pot smoke dangerous?
A. The jury is still out, but experts say best to avoid it if possible.
First, there’s the potential – albeit a small one – for a “contact high.”
Nonsmokers who were in a car or other small, unventilated space with heavy marijuana smokers showed some of the same temporary minor memory and coordination problems as the smokers themselves, according to a study out of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Some exposed nonsmokers even tested positive for the drug.
Those are considered extreme conditions. The National Institute on Drug Abuse notes that a contact high is highly unlikely, since very little THC is exhaled into the air.
The more serious concern is whether secondhand pot smoke poses the same deadly risks as exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke. That’s where the science isn’t settled, though research largely points to no.
As Tashkin’s studies above show, even firsthand marijuana smoke doesn’t seem to pose an increased risk of lung cancer or chronic pulmonary obstruction disease as cigarette smoke.
However, a 2014 study on rats by cardiovascular researcher Matthew Springer at UC San Francisco found secondhand marijuana smoke restricts blood vessels much like tobacco smoke. That can increase chances of a heart attack, particularly for people who have other risk conditions.
California law says medical marijuana patients can’t smoke in areas where tobacco is banned or within 1,000 feet of school or youth centers. The proposed recreational use initiative bans consumption in public or around children.
To be safe, experts recommend making sure there’s good ventilation if you’re around marijuana smokers. Or suggest other methods of consumption, such as vaporizing, edibles or tinctures.

The streptavidin/biotin complex involves one of the strongest non-covalent interactions observed in biology, and is an ideal model system for the study of high-affinity protein/ligand interactions. Analysis of high- resolution crystal structures for the streptavidin/biotin complex reveals numerous favorable protein-ligand contacts characteristic of a tightly bound complex. However, our extensive structural and thermodynamic characterization of numerous streptavidin mutants strongly suggests that direct protein-ligand contacts cannot fully explain the extremely tight biotin binding. Our previous studies also suggest that biotin follows a well defined reaction coordinate during ligand binding and dissociation reactions, and that certain mutations can alter the activation energy barrier for the binding/dissociation reactions, without any significant effect on the equilibrium structure. These results lead us to propose that streptavidin equilibrium dynamics, or structural fluctuations, help determine the equilibrium binding energy and activation energy barrier. We will test this hypothesis by performing molecular dynamics simulations and detailed crystallographic analyses of anisotropic temperature factors for wild-type and selected mutant streptavidin/biotin complexes, and then look for correlations between structural fluctuations and calorimetric measurements in wild-type versus mutant complexes. Our previous results also suggest that specific water molecules play a key energetic role in the biotin binding/dissociation reactions. We will use molecular dynamics simulations to test this proposal by further characterizing water interactions in the streptavidin binding site. We will use these simulation results to suggest mutations that can alter the equilibrium water behavior in the complex, and thus modulate the ligand binding free energy and/or activation energy. These studies will enhance our understanding of high-affinity protein/ligand binding interactions, and will help us elucidate important concepts that should be useful in structure-based ligand design projects. Such information will be helpful in rational drug design applications for therapeutically important protein targets. [unreadable] [unreadable] [unreadable] | {

Description
Passing Lane is located just right of the Overpass arete. Start up a fun, blocky face past three bolts. The route's crux is gaining the slabby face above the fourth bolt. Rolofson's guide suggests that this route could use an additional bolt, but I thought that it was well protected all the way to the anchors. It is a fun route. Again, a there's a little rope drag if you top rope or lower off this one.
There is a very large, very loose block right below the anchors. It can easily be avoided on the left, but care should be taken not to yard on it... UPDATE 7/21/06: the large block is now gone; looks like there is just dirt where it was....
The only interesting part of this route is the 4th bolt, which is really only interesting because you're going to the hospital if you don't make it. Above the ledge is maybe 5.7 and run out about 20 feet from the last bolt to the anchor.
I don't often post about routes that suck, but this just wasn't much fun. The bolts sort of lead you over to the right, which makes for a somewhat tricky traverse back left to make it over the bulge. Don't fall on the crux, it will be painful. Really, this route is just not worth doing.
It's a fun one. If you are a solid 5.9 climber you've got nothing to worry about. The fourth bolt is sketchy but there's a good ledge to hold on to while you clip into it. Over the crux it's easy but you can make it a little more difficult by staying to the right.
Based on all the beta about ledge fall potential at bolt 4, I took a couple cams with me. But didn't feel the need for additional protection with the positive hand holds working to the bolt. However, there are only 6 bolts then about 20 ft of runout from b6 to the top anchors, unless you clip a 7th bolt that seems to be off route to the left (part of Overpass?). So you may want to place some gear even though it's easy terrain up there.
Last Thursday August 11th a party of two boys and a girl climbing Passing Lane left a purple Wired Bliss TCU and two BD quickdraws in a crack at the base of Deuces Wild. If you are one of these guys, we have your gear! Write us back to [email protected] to give them back to you.
Didn't feel runout to me. I traversed right at the third bolt and came up to the fourth bolt from the left like the newest guide says. Didn't seem runout to me, nor did it seem to have a terrible ledge fall on it. You can also go a little right at the third bolt, which I have done also, and it seems to be just a little more difficult but not by much. The final bolt, I believe, is out to the left and may seem at first like it is for another route, but there were some climbers to the route on the left, and they didn't use it. Nonetheless, the climbing from there on is 5.4ish, and it can be easily skipped to reduce drag if you have someone following.
Bolts 5 and 6 are still there. Bolt 7 is still off to the left and actually on the adjacent route, so there are really just 6 bolts on this route with 20 ft of easy runout to the anchors if you don't use that 7th bolt (which could be in use by others). No X rating, and a PG-13 because of slight ledge-fall at B4 is stretching it.
Nice warm-up, I placed a small stopper in between bolts 3 and 4 to mitigate the ledgefall potential. It really isn't that hard to make the 4th clip, but the feet are getting kinda slippery there and shit happens. | {

A group of grandmothers who travelled to London to display their wall hangings ended up having to forfeit their artworks and scrounge for meals after the sister of cabinet minister Alfred Ngaro broke her promise to pay their bills, they say.

The elderly Cook Island artists, called the 'Mamas', make tivaivai, or traditional wall hangings, and were invited to participate in a travelling exhibition to London.
During their three-week stay they also planned to visit Arras in France to commemorate about 500 Cook Island Soldiers who served in World War One.
But they said a funding commitment from trip coordinator NiaVal Tali - the sister of Pacific Peoples Minister Alfred Ngaro - never eventuated and they were left to fend with the limited spending money they had brought themselves.
And the artists' hostel where their hangings had been displayed told representatives who went to collect them that the hostel would keep them because part of the women's bill was left unpaid, the women said.
The women also missed the dawn service in Arras after Ms Tali left on the 40-minute drive without them, they said.
After the trip Mr Ngaro called the women to a meeting where he apologised, and he and his wife offered them money to compensate, the women said.
However, they have not heard from Ms Tali and said they would not accept any money until she apologised.
Mr Ngaro would not comment to RNZ, saying it was a family matter.
Photo: Supplied
One of the artists, Ngāmata Uriaro, said originally, Ms Tali asked the group to contribute $2500 each to the trip, saying accommodation and food would be covered by grants.
But during a lay-over in Dubai on the way to London, that changed, Ms Uriaro said.
"Nia-Val came over to me and said that we didn't have any money [because] she didn't get any sponsors from anybody, [and] I have to tell the ladies we have to pay for our accommodation and food."
Another of the women, Ngā Tere, said she and the other four women on the trip - aged between 58 and 77 - had only a few hundred pounds' spending money each.
When she learned the cost of the trip would be much more, she wanted to go home but could not change her ticket.
While in London and France, they rationed their meagre budget, buying food and other items from discount stores.
The group managed to pay for their first week's accommodation at a hostel and said Ms Tali offered to pay for the last two weeks.
However, a representative from New Zealand House who went to collect the tivaivai was told the bill had not been paid and the hostel was keeping the artworks, the women said.
Pā Ariki, another of the artists and a granddaughter of one of the soldiers the group had travelled to commemorate, said tivaivai is a taonga and similar in importance to the korowai, or Māori cloak.
The women have still not recovered their artwork from the hostel.
Ms Tali disputed what the group said about the arrangements, saying the women complained the whole time.
She did tell them she would find funding to cover their accommodation and food but never promised it would happen, she said.
"When you're an artist you don't have a whole lot of funding but the most important thing is to go over and develop yourself professionally and that's exactly what they got, they got that and more," she said.
She had never planned to take them to the dawn service, she said.
"When you've got elderly women who have got medical issues ... I was recommended to not take them out."
The women said they had medical certificates from their doctors in New Zealand and the choice should have been theirs. | {

Q:
View not completely covering the entire screen
Once again I've searched for about 45 minutes for an answer to this question and I thought I might have found the answer but then the situation I was reading wasn't exactly like the one I'm running into.
when I add my view it seems that it's not completely covering the window I was able to get rid of the status bar at the top but there is a section of space at the bottom that the view is not covering
alt text http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/8844/picture1zjv.png
as you can see from the screenshot there is an orange bar...it's orange because I know what it actually is under there (it's the viewController's view but everything I try I can't seem to get the added view to cover the screen.
this is the only code that's run
(void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[self.view addSubview:mainMenu];
}
Any help would be appreciated.
A:
There are a few things that might be going wrong:
Your frame might be too short. In viewDidLoad: you can add a debug statement to check its height:
NSLog(@"Height is %f", self.view.frame.size.height);
It looks like you want that value to be 480, the full height of the screen.
Your origin might be too high. Similarly check your y offset:
NSLog(@"y origin is %f", self.view.frame.origin.y);
It looks like you want that value to be 0.
The origin of your superview might be too high. Assuming you this view only has one superview, this code will help check the absolute coordinates of your view's origin:
CGPoint absoluteOrigin = [self.view convertPoint:self.view.frame.origin
toView:self.view.superview];
NSLog(@"y origin in superview is %f", absoluteOrigin.y);
You can just tag on a few extra .superview's to find out the coordinates in terms of the prior views.
By the way, instead of just using 480 as a magic number in your code, you might want to do something like this to get the full height:
CGRect appFrame = [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame];
CGFloat screenHeight = appFrame.size.height;
The applicationFrame property takes into account whether or not the status bar is displayed.

Инспекторов международной Организации по запрещению химического оружия (ОЗХО) не допускают в сирийский город Дума - на место предполагаемого использования войсками президента Сирии Башара Асада химического оружия.
Об этом было сказано на заседании исполнительного комитета ОЗХО, которое проходит в Гааге. Город Дума сейчас находится под контролем сирийских и российских военных.
Британские и американские представители в ОЗХО обвинили Россию в препятствовании работе миссии. Как сообщаил представитель Швеции, Дамаск и Москва объяснили недопуск экспертов в Думу опасениями об их безопасности.
Заместитель министра иностранных дел России Сергей Рябков заявил, что отправке миссии ОЗХО в Думу препятствует то, что у нее нет разрешения от ведомства ООН, отвечающего за безопасность. Российские СМИ в понедельник сообщили, что в одном из районов Думы идет бой.
Группа экспертов прибыла в Сирию уже на прошлой неделе. После ударов США, Британии и Франции по целям в Сирии ОЗХО подтвердила, что эксперты продолжат свою миссию.
Представитель США в ОЗХО заявил, что Россия, возможно, уничтожает доказательства на месте предполагаемой химической атаки. Министр иностранных дел России Сергей Лавров в интервью Би-би-си категорически отверг это. Лавров также заявил, что отношения между Россией и Западом сейчас хуже, чем в годы Холодной войны, из-за отсутствия каналов коммуникации.
Войска президента Сирии Башара Асада, как утверждают страны Запада, ссылаясь на открытые источники и данные разведки, осуществили 7 апреля химическую атаку, жертвами которой стали мирные жители. США, Великобритания и Франция нанесли в субботу ракетный удар по объектам в Сирии, связанным, как утверждается, с разработкой химического оружия. Россия резко осудила удар и обвинила страны, которые его нанесли, в стремлении сорвать работу инспекторов ОЗХО. | {

The great baseball writer and poet Roger Angell once described a Nolan Ryan fastball as a liquid streak of white. The great baseball slugger and braggadocio Reggie Jackson once said about facing Ryan, “He’s the only guy I go against that makes me go to bed before midnight.”
That has to be how opposing hitters have felt about Justin Verlander this season. Even if they do go to bed early the night before facing him, they must be thinking about liquid streaks of white or curveballs dropping from heaven or unhittable changeups or sliders that make you flail like a snowflake in a windstorm.
One of the things I love about a baseball season is how it develops story arcs and how certain years become identified with certain players -- if you’re a baseball nerd like I am you know what I mean: 1968 is Bob Gibson, 1980 is George Brett, 1988 is Jose Canseco (until the World Series, when it became Orel Hershiser), and 1998, of course, is Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa.
Not every season has such a guy. Who won the MVP awards in 2007? Jimmy Rollins and Alex Rodriguez. That’s information that doesn’t exactly spring to mind, does it? The Cy Young winners? Jake Peavy and CC Sabathia. Good seasons, but not legendary.
I could be wrong here, but 2011 is shaping up as the year of Justin Verlander. This is a feel thing as much as a statistical thing. He pitched the no-hitter, took two other no-hitters into the eighth, is tall and dynamic on the mound, and has kind of been a one-man rotation for the Tigers. His fastball, it goes without saying, kind of gets the job done, and America loves the fastball as much as it loves Cool Whip.
Thursday night’s game against Cleveland wasn’t what I’d call a huge game for Detroit, but avoiding the series sweep certainly was at least a big game. The last thing the Tigers need is to let the Indians hang around. You let a team hang until late September, and next thing you know, you’re losing a one-game tiebreaker.
It wasn’t Verlander’s best game of the season. He nearly squandered a 4-0 lead, giving up a home run to Carlos Santana in the second inning and then a two-run double to Asdrubal Cabrera in the third after he had issued two walks. It was Verlander’s first three-walk start since May 13. But he settled down, overpowered the Indians after that and allowed just two more baserunners after Cabrera’s double, until he was lifted after seven innings and 108 pitches (tied for his third-lowest pitch count of the season). Jose Valverde closed it out once again -- he has lost three games but is 33-for-33 in save opportunities -- and Detroit’s lead is back up to three games. Amazingly, it snapped a 13-game losing streak for the Tigers in Cleveland.
Verlander improved to 17-5 for those of who you still like win-loss records, giving him 100 career victories. ESPN colleague Jayson Stark tweeted that it’s Verlander’s fifth 17-win season by age 28, and the only other pitchers to do so in the past 30 years were Dwight Gooden and Roger Clemens. His strikeout-to-walk ratio is 196 to 41, and opponents are hitting .185 against him.
Yes, it certainly feels like Justin Verlander’s season.
There’s only one hitch to all that: He’s not even a lock for the Cy Young Award right now. The Angels’ Jered Weaver is 14-5 with a 1.78 ERA. Weaver has pitched two games in which he went nine innings without a run and didn’t get the victory. In 24 starts, he’s allowed just 36 runs. Verlander has allowed 57 runs in 26 starts. Weaver has yet to allow more than four runs in a game, where Verlander has done it twice; Verlander has five games with four or more runs allowed to Weaver’s two. Since the American League went to the DH rule in 1973, only three starters have finished with an ERA less than 2.00: Ron Guidry in 1978, Roger Clemens in 1990 and Pedro Martinez in 2000.
So, yes, Jered Weaver has dominated as well.
We have time to sort out the Cy Young race. Both pitchers have plenty of big starts remaining as their teams battle for the playoffs. Maybe it will sort itself out by the end of the season.
But maybe it won’t. So I guess my question is: Do hitters go to bed before midnight when Weaver is pitching the next day?

Practice makes perfect, that's what Chris Brown always says. OK, we don't know if he really says that or not, but he does seem to be pushing his artistic boundaries.
Just over a month after upset neighbors successfully forced the singer to remove graffiti monsters from the side of his Hollywood Hills home, he created a few more — this time, on his $90,000 Porsche.
While it seems Chris was fairly pleased with his artwork, his currently on-again girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, looked more shocked than impressed when she first discovered Brown's latest canvas.
View photos
She posted a photo on Instagram of herself perched on the hood of the luxury, cartoon-covered sports car with the caption, "this is what the f*** I come home to lmao this n**** man." In the snapshot, though, she's pouting more than laughing.
Still, a few monster cartoons on the side of a car — which was also photographed by X17online — that costs more than most people make in a year wasn't enough to deter the model from joining her beau on a romantic getaway, which it seems the singer sorely needed.
Just a few weeks ago, Brown suffered a seizure at the Record Plant recording studio in Hollywood, which his team blamed on severe stress and fatigue caused by the "constant onslaught of legal matters." No word as to whether those legal matters included The Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety forcing him to paint over the "artwork" he had added to the side of his house, however.

At least Tran took the Porsche's new paint job (mostly) in stride. Both she and Chris were dressed in casual, sporty styles as they grabbed their luggage and prepared to head out of the city.
It is worth noting, however, that they left the monstermobile at home and instead departed in a more subdued black SUV. Something tells us Karrueche was pretty happy about that.

Examining the Effects of an Otago-Based Home Exercise Program on Falls and Fall Risks in an Assisted Living Facility.
The Otago exercise program is a strengthening, balance, and walking program designed to decrease falls among community-dwelling older adults. Few studies have examined the effects of the Otago program in an assisted living environment. The purpose of the current study was to assess the effects of an Otago-based home exercise program in decreasing falls and the risk of falls among older adults living in an assisted living facility. A retrospective chart review of 30 individuals residing at either of 2 assisted living facilities in central Florida was undertaken. Participants had a mean age of 87 years, were at risk for falls as determined by the Tinetti Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA), and were provided with an Otago-based intervention by home health physical therapy. The outcome measures were the number of falls in the previous year, the number of falls in the year following the intervention, and Tinetti POMA scores pre- and post-intervention. The mean (SD) number of falls significantly decreased from 1.4 (0.9) to 0.5 (0.7) fall per person per year after home health physical therapy with the tailored Otago based-exercise intervention. The intervention resulted in a statistically significant improvement in Tinetti POMA scores from 11.8 (2.5) to 17.6 (3.8). An Otago-based strengthening, balance, and walking home exercise program can potentially be used to decrease the number of falls and the risk of falling among older adults residing in an assisted living facility. | {

Free BDSM Hall picture Base presents clamps gallery with Glamour girl machine ass-fucking. I've been dying to get her beautifully big breasts into some real breast bondage so I bring it to her in the first scene. Her legs are spread wide for clamps, and Alexander revels in the reaction he gets from clamping her breast-bound nipples. He slaps her pussy around. The anal fucking machine scene which follows is glorious. Randy is perfectly spread and tied with her hands pulled up to her collar. Alexander enjoys a bit of caning and flogging before he sets the machine in motion. The next scene features her beautiful pussy, and an electric anal plug. Then we lay her out on a cold steel table, waxing and a vibrator finish her off. This is bondage photo content with bondage and gag play pictures

Sen. Bernie Sanders Bernie SandersSirota reacts to report of harassment, doxing by Harris supporters Republicans not immune to the malady that hobbled Democrats The Hill's Morning Report - Sponsored by Facebook - Republicans lawmakers rebuke Trump on election MORE (I-Vt.), a 2020 White House hopeful, released a plan on Monday to overhaul campaign contribution laws that includes a ban on donations from federal lobbyists and corporations and would replace the Federal Election Commission (FEC) with a new agency to enforce the reforms.
Sanders’s plan echoes his own grassroots-funded campaign, in which he’s pledged to not accept money from corporate PACs or super PACs.
His campaign said the plan would end “greed-fueled, corrupt corporate influence over elections, national party convention, and presidential inaugurations.” ADVERTISEMENT
“Working people all over the country are responding to that message and demanding a political revolution through their small dollar donations. When we win the Democratic nomination and defeat Donald Trump Donald John TrumpFederal prosecutor speaks out, says Barr 'has brought shame' on Justice Dept. Former Pence aide: White House staffers discussed Trump refusing to leave office Progressive group buys domain name of Trump's No. 1 Supreme Court pick MORE, we will transform our political system by rejecting the influence of big corporate money,” Sanders said in the announcement.
In his plan, Sanders calls for a ban on donations from federal lobbyists and corporations.
Sanders’s plan also calls for a constitutional amendment that “makes clear that money is not speech and corporations are not people.”
The amendment would aim to overturn two Supreme Court rulings that allow for unlimited spending in elections: Buckley V. Valeo and Citizens United.
He would also institute a lifetime lobbying ban for national party chairs and co-chairs, and ban the chairs and co-chairs from working for entities with federal contracts or that can “reasonably be expected to have business before Congress in the future.”
To enforce the laws, Sanders said he would “abolish the worthless FEC” and replace it with a Federal Election Administration (FEA).
The new FEA would have three members with a background in law or ethics enforcement, including former judges. Members would serve six years and the chair would serve 10 years to avoid one chair picking all members, according to Sanders campaign.
Hearings for violations of campaign finance laws would be conducted before an administrative judge and the FEA would be able to impose civil and criminal penalties for violations.
Sanders also pushes for mandatory public financing laws for federal elections, including a system of “Universal Small Dollar Vouchers” that give voting-age Americans the ability to “donate” to federal candidates. The plan does not say how much money would be given in the vouchers.
He also said FEA would determine the threshold candidates must meet to qualify for public financing.
His plan also calls for a ban on advertising during presidential primary debates.
Sanders said he’d also institute a lifetime lobbying ban for former members of Congress and senior staffers.
The plan is the first big campaign announcement since Sanders suffered a heart attack in Las Vegas last week.
Sanders said Sunday he is home in Burlington, Vt. to “rest for a little bit” but is “recovering well and feeling much better.”
Sanders, 78, is a top-tier candidate in the Democratic primary field.
His heart attack prompted the campaign to cancel all events until further notice and postpone a $1.3 million TV ad set to air in Iowa. | {

Inhibition of oxidative stress and improvement of endothelial function by amlodipine in angiotensin II-infused rats.
Calcium channel blockers such as amlodipine are effective antihypertensive agents. In this study we investigated the effects of amlodipine on vascular oxidative stress, expression of the lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor (LOX-1), and endothelial function in angiotensin (Ang) II-infused rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with Ang II (0.7 mg/kg/day subcutaneously injected by mini-pump), with or without amlodipine (10 mg/kg/day by gavage), for 5 days and compared with control rats. Levels of aortic ring superoxide (O(2)(-)) and peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) were determined, and systolic blood pressure (SBP) and endothelium-dependent relaxation were evaluated. Compared with control rats, Ang II-infused rats developed hypertension (175 +/- 3 v 135 +/- 2 mm Hg, P <.05), aortic hypertrophy (16.9 +/- 1.3 v 13.2 +/- 0.3 mg/cm, P <.05), left ventricular hypertrophy (0.236 +/- 0.003 v 0.204 +/- 0.004 g/100 g body weight, P <.05), and impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation (ED(50): 6.6 +/- 0.2 v 8.0 +/- 0.2 -log mol/L acetylcholine concentration, P <.05). Compared with control rats, Ang II-infused rats also had higher aortic levels of LOX-1 mRNA expression, O(2)(-)production (1005 +/- 140 v 608 +/- 159 counts/min/mg, P <.05), ONOO(-) production (1875 +/- 295 v 782 +/- 115 counts/min/mg, P <.05), and plasma free 8-F(2)alpha-isoprostanes (67.4 +/- 19.1 v 27.2 +/- 6.1 pg/mL, P <.05). In Ang II-infused rats SBP, aortic hypertrophy, endothelial dysfunction, LOX-1 expression, aortic O(2)(-) and ONOO(-) production, and plasma free 8-F(2)alpha-isoprostane levels were significantly reduced by amlodipine treatment. Amlodipine has antihypertensive and antioxidant activity in vivo, which effectively inhibits many of the oxidative stress-dependent mechanisms involved in Ang II-mediated cardiovascular injury. | {

FOR THE SIXTH CIRCUIT

et al., ) KENTUCKY

Defendants - Appellees. )

Before: DAUGHTREY, COOK, and FARRIS,* Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM. Harold Brooks Leasure, Jr. brought a civil RICO suit
against eleven businesses and six individuals, alleging that they comprised and
controlled a RICO enterprise that fraudulently stole Leasure’s businesses. The
district court granted summary judgment to the defendants on several independent
grounds, including an absence of proximate cause. Reviewing de novo and
*
The Honorable Jerome Farris, United States Circuit Judge for the Ninth
Circuit, sitting by designation.
viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to Leasure, Holloway v. Brush,
220 F.3d 767, 772 (6th Cir. 2000), we affirm.
In June 1999, defendant Coleman American entered into a contract to
purchase several moving and storage businesses owned by Leasure. Shortly
thereafter, Coleman American discovered that a number of the businesses’
accounts receivable were uncollectible. Coleman American brought suit against
Leasure in the Circuit Court of Christian County, Kentucky, arguing that Leasure
misrepresented his businesses’ accounts receivable. Coleman American prevailed
on fraud and breach of contract claims. Leasure then brought this civil RICO suit.
To sustain a civil RICO action, 18 U.S.C. § 1964(c), the plaintiff must show
that “the alleged violation led directly to the plaintiff’s injuries.” Anza v. Ideal
Steel Supply Corp., 547 U.S. 451, 461 (2006). Leasure asserts that he was injured
because the defendants acquired his businesses by fraud. He also alleges that
defendant Coleman American brought a fraudulent lawsuit against him in state
court and argues, somewhat inconsistently, that (1) Coleman American’s lawsuit
was based on records falsified by Coleman American, and (2) that Coleman
American knew that Leasure had miscalculated the accounts receivable before it
purchased the businesses, but purchased the businesses anyway so that it could
exact a large money judgment from Leasure.
2
The only record evidence that Leasure cites to support this theory is a
statement made by Richard Cundith, Coleman American’s accountant. During the
state court proceeding, Cundith testified that he advised Coleman American
against purchasing Leasure’s businesses because the businesses had no formal set
of records. Though this might show that the defendants were aware that some of
Leasure’s representations might have been inaccurate, it does not support an
inference that the defendants knew that some of Leasure’s accounts receivable
would be uncollectible.
Leasure also suggests that the short time frame between the sale and the
filing of Coleman American’s state lawsuit shows that the defendants knew about
the inaccuracies in Leasure’s disclosures before the sale. Nothing supports this
inference. To the contrary, the record shows that Coleman American only
discovered the inaccuracies after it purchased Leasure’s businesses and
unsuccessfully attempted to collect on certain accounts.
AFFIRMED.

Sometimes we do not know when small actions could have the most momentous effects. The Archduke Franz Ferdinand loved his wife, which was most unusual for a Hapsburg. She was not of royal blood and strict protocol meant she could not appear in public ceremonies with him in Vienna. Which is why he chose to undertake a royal visit to the obscure Serbian provincial city of Sarajevo for her birthday. The rest, as they say, is history.
AJP Taylor liked to list Franz Ferdinand’s love for his wife as a cause of the First World War, a reminder that history is the study of human beings. Of course the massive arms race between the imperial powers, and the nationalist and democratic forces acting on old heterogenous dynastic empires, lay at the root of the First World War. But Taylor’s absolutely correct point is that even the greatest store of paraffin will not ignite without a spark, and perhaps the spark may never come. I am with Taylor on this, against the rigid determinists.
The vast transfer of wealth from everybody else to the bankers in the great banking collapse, and the huge growth in wealth inequality and obscene concentrations of wealth in a tiny number of private hands, are the underlying causes of the collapse in old political party structures across the western democracies and the rise of insurgent politics in all its various forms, mostly under the careful control of the elite using all their media control to misdirect popular blame for mass poverty against immigrants.
There are however genuine examples of insurgent politics seeking to craft a fairer society in the UK, of which the SNP and Yes Movement in Scotland, and Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters in England and Wales, are the most important examples.
Unusually for me, this article is addressed primarily to Corbyn supporters down in England and Wales. You don’t have to be an Austrian Archduke to stand at the moment when your own small actions can have profound, indeed historical ramifications. If just a few score less ordinary people had listened to and acted on Camille Desmoulins’ great speech as the revolutionary impulse teetered, the world might have been very different. Corbyn supporters are at that moment of historic decision right now – and mostly do not realise it.
Jeremy Corbyn represents the only realistic chance the people of England and Wales have been given in decades, to escape from the neo-liberal economics that have impoverished vast swathes of the population. But he leads a parliamentary party which is almost entirely comprised of hardline neo-liberal adherents.
The majority of the parliamentary Labour party are the people who brought in academy schools, high student tuition fees, PFI, who introduced more privatisation into the health service than the Tories have, and who brought you the Iraq and Afghan Wars. They abstained on the Tory austerity benefit cuts and on May’s “hostile environment” immigration legislation. They support Trident nuclear missiles. Many hanker after bombing Syria, and most are members of Labour Friends of Israel.
Even before the current disintegration of UK political structures, there was no way that these Labour MPs were ever going to support Corbyn in power in seeking to return the UK towards the mainstream of European social democracy. They have spent the last four years in undermining Corbyn at every turn and attempting to return Labour to the right wing political Establishment agenda. In the current fluid state of UK politics, with sections of Labour MPs already having split off and others threatening to, it is even more important that the very large majority of Labour MPs are replaced by people who genuinely support the views and principles for which Jeremy Corbyn stands.
Regrettably Labour MPs do not automatically have to run for reselection against other potential party candidates, but under one of those hideous compromises so beloved of Labour Party conferences, they have to notify their intention to again be the party’s candidate for the constituency, and there is then a very brief window of a couple of weeks in which local branches and trade union branches can register a contest and force a challenge.
That process has now been triggered and it is ESSENTIAL that every Labour Party member reading this blog acts NOW to try to get rid of those dreadful Blairite MPs. If you do not act, the historic moment will be missed and the chance to move England and Wales away from neo-liberalism may be permanently surrendered.
The right wing forces have the massive advantage of inertia. The local MP is very likely a crony of the chairs of the relevant local branch institutions and of the appropriate local trade union officials (and there is insufficient public understanding of the fact that historically the unions are very much a right wing force in Labour politics). I am willing to bet that in the vast number of constituencies local officials and MPs are pretty confident of getting through this without the large majority of their members – especially the vast new Corbyn supporting membership – even noticing that anything is happening.
Which is why you need to act. Phone the chair of your local constituency today and demand that they tell you how to go about forcing a reselection battle. Make sure that they give you the phone numbers for any local branches or institutions you have to go through. If you do not know the phone number for your local constituency chair, phone Labour HQ and get them to tell you. If you are a member of an affiliated trade union or organisation, take action there too
Do not be put off. Do not follow any instruction from anyone, not even Momentum, about MPs who ought not to be challenged. Politics is a dirty game and full of dirty deals. Use your own judgement. Certainly any of the Labour MPs who abstained on Tory welfare cuts, failed to oppose the “hostile environment” immigration policy or voted to bomb Syria must be subject to challenge. I would recommend that you challenge any Friend of Israel, given that Israel is now openly an apartheid state. Remember, you may be able to influence two constituencies – that where you live, and through your trade union branch that where you work.
Whether or not you are a Labour Party member (and remember I am not), please bring this article to the attention of any and every Labour Party member you know. Progress reports in the comments section would be extremely welcome, as would anyone willing to take the time to draw up “hit lists” based on the kind of criteria I outline above.
While the media are concentrated on the Tory shenanigans, it is the Labour Party members who have the chance to make choices which could have in the long term much more important effects upon society; if people act as I recommend, this could be a historic turning point. Otherwise it will just be one of those moments that passed, and the Corbyn insurgency a small footnote of might have been.

Analog-to-digital converters such as flash and folding use amplifier arrays to parallel process an input value. Interpolation can be used to generate intermediate values between two adjacent amplifiers in the array. For example, in a folding ADC architecture, folding can be used to reduce component count (such as the number of comparators), and the folded amplifier array output can be interpolated to recover resolution.
Resistive interpolation uses two or more resistors between adjacent amplifiers to provide one or more interpolation (intermediate) values between the amplifier-driven outputs. FIG. 1A illustrates a portion of a two-stage cascaded resistor interpolator, providing interpolation-by-3. The schematic can represent single-ended signals, or polarities of differential signals.
Stage N amplifiers A1 and A2 drive nodes D1 and D2, with the series-coupled interpolation resistors R/R′/R providing intermediate interpolation nodes I1 and I2. The interpolation resistors need not be of the same resistance value, as indicated by R and R′.
The Stage N amplifier-driven nodes D1/D2 and interpolation nodes I1/I2 provide the Stage N driven and interpolated outputs. The Stage N outputs are inputs to the Stage N+1 amplifiers at driven nodes, with interpolated nodes in between.
FIG. 1B illustrates voltage inputs for amplifiers A1 and A2, VIN,1 and VIN,2, and the resulting outputs: driven outputs VOUT,D1 and VOUT,D2 from the driven nodes D1 and D2; and interpolation (intermediate) outputs VOUT,I1 and VOUT,I2 from the interpolated nodes I1 and I2. The interpolated voltages VOUT,I1 and VOUT,I2 have values intermediate the amplifier outputs VOUT,D1 and VOUT,D2.
FIG. 1C illustrates the two-stage resistor interpolator with the stage nodes aligned (and numbered). As configured, a Stage N amplifier/node A6/6 drives the corresponding Stage N+1 amplifier/node A6/6 with a driven output, and the adjacent Stage N interpolation nodes 5 and 7 drive the Stage N+1 amplifier/nodes A3/3 and A9/9 with interpolated outputs, with interpolation resistors/nodes between the driven nodes. | {

Mahindra to invest in next-gen EV tech
Mahindra Electric, the Mahindra Group’s electric vehicle development and manufacturing arm, has announced that it will make investments to ramp up its manufacturing and charging infrastructure and will develop new high-end electric powertrains, motor controllers, system integration and battery technology. The all-new initiative is termed as ‘EV 2.0’.
The announcement, which comes a week and a half after Niti Aayog, the government think tank, revealed a draft of the country’s planned shift to EVs by 2032, is indicative of the Mahindra Group’s intent to make the most of this drive towards electric mobility. The Niti Aayog plan foresees electric mobility taking centre stage in line with the government of India’s plan to pursue rapid adoption of EVs for private and public shared utility.
Compared to all other automobile manufacturers in the country, Mahindra Electric is well placed to capitalise on the EV programme. The company, which is the sole electric carmaker in the country, currently has three electric vehicles – the e20 Plus hatchback, eVerito sedan and eSupro commercial van.
According to the company, with EV 2.0, it is set to invest in next-generation EV technology solutions that will deliver longer range, higher speeds and also utilise connected car technology.
Speaking on the Mahindra Group’s EV roadmap, Dr Pawan Goenka, managing director, Mahindra & Mahindra, and chairman, Mahindra Electric, said: “The time has now arrived for EVs to become mainstream and Mahindra has the right technology and products for India. We will actively engage with the government both at the centre and the state, municipal bodies and other private players for setting up robust EV ecosystem. We are also ramping up our investments towards developing next-generation EV technologies and products that will cater to the smart cities of tomorrow.”
Speaking at the announcement, Mahesh Babu, CEO, Mahindra Electric, said, “With EV 2.0, we have laid out a clear roadmap for electric mobility in India, at par with our global counterparts and are future-ready to set out the next phase of our EV journey.”
What's the growth plan?
Mahindra will be working with SsangYong on developing EV technology, and will increase EV manufacturing at its Chakan plant. The company is also set to launch its electric three-wheeler (eRickshaw) along with an electric bus equipped with a 650v battery.
With the company working on EVs with 380v and 650v battery capacity, the company claims that the vehicle will be able to achieve top speeds up to 200kph and will have a range of up to 400km.
The company has urged governmental support to help nurture R&D in the country, and make registrations easier while facilitating charging stations to further boost adoption in the nascent EV market. | {

Modulation of the affinity and selectivity of RGS protein interaction with G alpha subunits by a conserved asparagine/serine residue.
The crystal structure of the complex between a G protein alpha subunit (Gi alpha 1) and its GTPase-activating protein (RGS4) demonstrated that RGS4 acts predominantly by stabilization of the transition state for GTP hydrolysis [Tesmer, J. J., et al. (1997) Cell 89, 251]. However, attention was called to a conserved Asn residue (Asn128) that could play a catalytic role by interacting, directly or indirectly, with the hydrolytic water molecule. We have analyzed the effects of several disparate substitutions for Asn128 on the GAP activity of RGS4 toward four G alpha substrates (Go, Gi, Gq, and Gz) using two assay formats. The results substantiate the importance of this residue but indicate that it is largely involved in substrate binding and that its function may vary with different G alpha targets. Various mutations decreased the apparent affinity of RGS4 for substrate G alpha proteins by several orders of magnitude, but had variable and modest effects on maximal rates of GTP hydrolysis when tested with different G alpha subunits. One mutation, N128F, that differentially decreased the GAP activity toward G alpha i compared with that toward G alpha q could be partially suppressed by mutation of the nearby residue in G alpha i to that found in G alpha q (K180P). Detection of GAP activities of the mutants was enhanced in sensitivity up to 100-fold by assay at steady state in proteoliposomes that contain heterotrimeric G protein and receptor. | {

Expression of type VI collagen in the developing mouse heart.
During development, the embryonic atrioventricular (AV) endocardial cushions undergo a morphogenic process to form mature valve leaflets and the membranous septa in the heart. Several extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins are expressed in the developing AV endocardial cushions, but it remains to be established if any specific ECM proteins are necessary for normal cushion morphogenesis. Abnormal development of the cardiac AV valves is a frequent cause of congenital heart defects, particularly in infants with trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). The genes encoding the alpha1 and alpha2 chains of type VI collagen are located on human chromosome 21 within the region thought to be critical for congenital heart defects in trisomy 21 infants. This suggests that the type VI collagen alpha1(VI) and alpha2(VI) chains may be important in normal AV valve morphogenesis. As a first step in understanding the role of type VI collagen in valve development, the authors examined the normal spatial and temporal expression patterns of mRNA and protein for type VI collagen in the embryonic mouse heart. Ribonuclease protection assay analysis demonstrates cardiac expression of the type VI collagen for alpha1(VI), alpha2(VI), and alpha3(VI) transcripts beginning at embryonic days 11-11.5 of mouse development. In situ hybridization studies demonstrate a coordinated pattern of cardiac expression within the AV valves for each type VI collagen chain from embryonic day 11.5 through the neonatal period. Immunohistochemical studies confirm a concentrated type VI collagen localization pattern in the endocardial cushions from the earliest stages of valve development through the neonatal period. These data indicate that type VI collagen is expressed in the developing AV canal in a pattern consistent with cushion tissue mesenchymal cell migration and proliferation, and suggest that type VI collagen plays a role in the morphogenesis of the developing cardiac AV endocardial cushions into the valve leaflets and membranous septa of the heart. | {

Effect of tolbutamide on plasma renin activity.
The effect of tolbutamide on renin secretion in rats was studied in vivo, and in vitro. Administration of tolbutamide in doses of 12.5 and 25 mg/kg body wt ip to two groups of rats produced no significant change in plasma renin activity compared to the control group. In the in vitro experiments renal cortical slices were incubated with increasing concentrations of tolbutamide (0--4 mg/ml). No significant increase in the net renin production was observed, whereas the concentration of cyclic AMP increased significantly in the incubation medium. These findings suggest that in the intact rats tolbutamide does not increase plasma renin activity. In the renal cortical experiments although tolbutamide increased cyclic AMP production, the increase may not have been sufficient to stimulate the net renin production. These results are of biological significance because of the possible effects of tolbutamide and increased plasma renin activity on the cardiovascular system. | {

The antiproliferative activity of the murine interferon-inducible Ifi 200 proteins depends on the presence of two 200 amino acid domains.
Interferon-inducible proteins, p200, have a modular organization consisting of one (p203) or two (p202 and p204) 200 amino acid motifs, designated as type a or b domains. The relationship between this domain organization and the antiproliferative activity was investigated by generating a hybrid protein with the 204 a domain upstream from the 203 b domain. This 204a/203b protein inhibits the proliferation of transfected cells, delays G0/G1 progression into S phase following serum restimulation, and inhibits the E2F-mediated transcriptional activity. These results demonstrate for the first time that both a and b domains are needed for inhibition of proliferation by the Ifi 200 proteins. | {

Newer therapeutic agents for asthma.
The past decade has seen significant advances in the available treatments for asthma. These include longer-acting bronchodilating agents, high topical potency inhaled corticosteroids, and agents that interfere with leukotriene production or action. Table 3 summarizes the clinical effects of the newer therapeutic agents reviewed. Experimental therapies for the steroid-dependent patient have also been discussed. Although clinical trials to date have established many of these as effective in asthma, the results of ongoing, large, multicenter studies investigating the relative merits of these therapies, alone and in combination, will further clarify how to maximize the utility of these agents in the treatment of asthma. | {

NEW YORK – Dallas Stars left wing Jamie Benn, Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price and Boston Bruins center David Krejci have been named the NHL's "Three Stars" for the month of October.
FIRST STAR – JAMIE BENN, LW, DALLAS STARS
Benn shared first in the NHL with nine goals and led the League with 17 points, helping the Stars (9-2-0, 18 points) match their best 11-game start to a season in franchise history (also 1996-97 and 2006-07). He recorded at least one point in nine of his 11 appearances, including a six-game point streak to open the campaign (6-4—10). Benn also registered six multi-point performances, highlighted by a pair of three-point games (Oct. 17 at FLA: 2-1—3 and Oct. 27 vs. ANA: 0-3—3) as well as two game-winning goals (Oct. 20 at PHI: 1-1—2 and Oct. 29 vs. VAN: 1-1—2). The 26-year-old Victoria, B.C., native and reigning Art Ross Trophy winner has spent his entire NHL career with the Stars, compiling 160-216—376 in 437 outings – that includes 16-16—32 in his past 17 appearances dating to last season.
SECOND STAR – CAREY PRICE, G, MONTREAL CANADIENS
Price went 7-2-0 with a 2.01 goals-against average, .936 save percentage and two shutouts to backstop the Canadiens (11-2-0, 22 points) to their best 13-game start in more than 40 years as well as the top record in the NHL. He played seven of nine games during the team's season-opening winning streak, capped by a 49-save performance in a 5-3 victory Oct. 24 vs. TOR. Price allowed two or fewer goals in six of his nine outings, including shutouts Oct. 15 vs. NYR (25 SV) and Oct. 20 vs. STL (38 SV). The 28-year-old Anahim Lake, B.C., native – and reigning Hart Memorial Trophy, Ted Lindsay Award, Vezina Trophy and William M. Jennings Trophy winner – owns a 230-155-50 record in 444 career NHL appearances (2.43 GAA, .920 SV%, 36 SO).
THIRD STAR – DAVID KREJCI, C, BOSTON BRUINS
Krejci ranked third among skaters with 7-8—15 in 10 contests to power the Bruins (6-3-1, 13 points) to third place in the Atlantic Division, punctuated by a seven-game point streak to close the month (6-0-1). He collected at least one point in each of his first nine outings of the campaign, becoming the first Bruins player to compile a season-opening point streak of nine or more games since 1992-93 (Joe Juneau and Dmitri Kvartalnov: 14 GP). That included four multi-point performances, highlighted by three-point efforts Oct. 12 vs. TBL (1-2—3) and Oct. 17 at ARI (1-2—3). The 29-year-old Sternberk, Czech Republic, native has spent his entire NHL career with the Bruins, posting 124-300—424 in 561 appearances. | {

Finland-based artist Iiu Susiraja creates photographic self-portraits, known by contemporary culture at large as selfies. However, instead of posing coquettishly, with a peace sign or a kissy face, Susiraja captures herself in more unorthodox scenarios -- posing before a table with meat nailed to it or casually donning pantyhose, hanging from her breasts, for example.
Vauhtiajot, 2009, iiu susiraja
Susiraja's photographs are as mundane as they are bizarre. Like with most selfies, the subject of her works -- herself -- is predictable and readily available. Most of the photos take place in the home, without any particular special effects or extreme costumes. And yet, for an almost inexplicable reason, the resulting images are deeply odd. Discovering them produces a similarly disorienting effect as finding a line of ants trailing through your food cabinet, unsettling despite its tedium. The intrusion of the abnormal into the domestic sphere yields a lasting impression that's both jarring and intoxicating.
Pussijalat, 2010, iiu susiraja
"I photograph me because it is the subject I certainly know the best," Susiraja explained in an email to The Huffington Post. "I make object of myself and my privacy, which is a moment of fame. To turn the privacy as a public is a shelter for me. I feel privacy very painful." Susiraja's work, somewhere between that of Francesca Woodman and Lena Dunham, explores states of solitude to help viewers feel less alone. As she said to Dazed Digital: "The abnormal may be normal."

"My art it is like playful anarchism with equipment and the rituals of taking back the power," Susiraja continued. "Everyday life is my muse." Her surprising and hilarious snapshots show the endless potential lurking inside the body at rest. Using herself as a canvas, Susiraja's confrontational self-portraits don't affirm contemporary selfie conventions, they radically revolutionize them. Power to you, Susiraja.

Q:
Interaction between multicast sources and first-hop routers (possibily DRs)
I might be missing the obvious but I would like to know how the first-hop routers are aware that multicast sources are sending multicast packets and such packets are eligible for the PIM-register process. The PIM-register process itself is clear, is the step before that is not clear to me. Do routers listen to all the multicast groups (sources send to specific L2 multicast groups) or do first-hop routers have their LAN interface in promiscuous mode?
Could someone be so kind to explain or point me to the right documentation?
Thanks, Alex
A:
A router with multicast routing enabled will have its LAN interface configured to listen for the multicast groups it intends to serve. This is time when using a mask with multicast actually means something. Multicast groups are individual addresses, so a mask is normally meaningless, but you can use a mask to specify a range of addresses for the router, e.g. 239.0.0.0/8.
I think you are also missing that besides PIM, or whichever multicast routing protocol you use, the router will also use IGMP on the LAN (or the old Cisco CGMP). IGMP is the protocol between the multicast hosts and the multicast router. IGMP is used to tell the multicast router that a host is interested in listening to a multicast group, and the router also uses IGMP to see if hosts are still interested in the group traffic, otherwise it stops routing it.
Many people now think IGMP is used for switches, but that is not its purpose. Most modern business switches can eavesdrop on the IGMP messages between the hosts and router (IGMP snooping) to tailor which interfaces receive which multicast traffic. Originally, switches would send all multicast traffic to all switch interfaces, but that is wasteful of link bandwidth, and IGMP snooping is a refinement.

Thioredoxin reductase reduces lipid hydroperoxides and spares alpha-tocopherol.
We investigated whether and how rat liver thioredoxin reductase spares alpha-tocopherol in biomembranes. Purified hydroperoxides of beta-linoleoyl-gamma-palmitoylphosphatidylcholine were decreased 35% by treatment with thioredoxin reductase and 54% by thioredoxin reductase plus E. coli thioredoxin. Thioredoxin reductase also halved the amount of hydroperoxides that had been formed during photoperoxidation of liposomes composed of beta-linoleoyl-gamma-palmitoylphosphatidylcholine, and of emulsions of both cholesterol and cholesteryl linolenate. In erythrocyte ghosts, thioredoxin reductase spared alpha-tocopherol from oxidation by both soybean lipoxygenase and ferricyanide. Thioredoxin reductase also decreased F(2)-isoprostanes in ghosts oxidized by ferricyanide, suggesting that its ability to spare alpha-tocopherol relates to reduction of lipid hydroperoxides. | {

Inhibition of receptor-mediated apoptosis upon Bcl-2 overexpression is not associated with increased antioxidant status.
Bcl-2 is reported to augment the antioxidant capacity of cells and this is hypothesized to contribute to the anti-apoptotic activity of this oncoprotein. We generated a number of stable Jurkat cell lines expressing varying levels of Bcl-2, and showed a strong correlation between Bcl-2 levels and resistance to Fas-mediated apoptosis. While individual differences could be detected, there was no overall correlation between Bcl-2 and the expression and activity of superoxide dismutases, catalase, glutathione peroxidases, thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductases, and peroxiredoxins. Cells transfected with Bcl-2 averaged 70% more glutathione than parental cells, but there was no correlation between glutathione and resistance to apoptosis. This challenges the hypothesis that the anti-apoptotic properties of Bcl-2 are linked to a global increase in antioxidant status. | {

Darren Aronofsky is one of many filmmakers interested in “Fargo on the moon” screenplay
An easy way to make anything better is to put it in space. Wars become Star Wars, Lost becomes Lost In Space, and Friday The 13th becomes Jason X, all of which are vast improvements over their boring Earth-y counterparts. A young actor and screenwriter named David Weil is aware this, and he used that knowledge to write Moonfall, a screenplay that The Wrap refers to as “a Fargo-like thriller set on the moon.”
Also according to The Wrap, a number of prominent filmmakers are reportedly interested in picking up Moonfall, which makes sense since “Fargo on the moon” is one of the best totally-out-there pitches we’ve ever heard. The only actual name that The Wrap is attaching to the film, though, is Noah’s Darren Aronofsky, who reportedly “read and liked” the script. As the site points out, that doesn’t mean he’ll produce or direct the movie, but it is something, at least.
However, the especially interesting thing about all of this is that nobody seems willing to explain what exactly “Fargo on the moon” really means. If it’s a murder mystery, then isn’t simply being a murder mystery set on the moon unique enough? Does the Fargo nod mean that the movie will be full of quirky people with folksy Moon-esota accents? What does a Moon-esota accent sound like? Would it be planet-ist of us to make fun of their weird accent? What if we did hacky observational comedy about how Earth people drive like this, but moon people drive like this?Hopefully Moonfall will answer all of these questions if it ever becomes a movie, because we don’t want to accidentally offend any stupid moon people. | {

Since November 27th, 1960 the Chargers have matched up with the Raiders 105 times, claiming victory in 45 of those contests -- including the most recent game to close out the 2011 season. That's a lot of memories of one opponent.
One of the great things about the NFL is that the divisional rivalries have remained fairly constant. And in the case of the Raiders, the familiarity has brought contempt. No matter the standings we know these games will be battles. Even during the recent stretch from 2003-2009 when the Chargers won 13 games in a row, the games were extremely hard fought, physical battles.
We all have our most vivid recollections of games. Mine is the one where Steve Foley got shot . . .
I suppose the story would be more interesting if the Raiders were actually responsible for shooting Chargers linebacker Steve Foley but that scenario would be too unlikely*. As the Chargers prepared for their first game of the 2006 season, a Monday Night Football game to be played in the Black Hole on September 11th, Steve Foley was in a hospital recovering from gunshot wounds. The linebacker, returning to his home in Poway during the early morning hours of September 3rd, was followed by an off duty Coronado police officer who suspected Foley of driving under the influence of alcohol. The police officer confronted Foley on the suburban streets and shot him three times in the arm leg and chest. It was Foley's second run-in with the law dating back to April of that year. He would never play in the NFL again.
*Raiders fans shooting Foley in the parking lot in Oakland? Far more likely.
I recall the Chargers rallying around their fallen teammate and using the Monday night stage as a platform to showcase their defense against their arch rival. The Chargers blew the Raiders out on their home turf compiling 9 sacks. The Chargers came out blazing, racking up one sack after another, and as they recorded each tackle for a loss, they mimicked Steve Foley's sack dance -- a bull stamping his feet into the tufts of grass below. It was a fantsastic start to the 2006 season.
But What Really Happened?
When I looked at the boxscore for this game I realized my memory had failed me, to a degree. The Chargers didn't get off to the fast start that I remembered, failing to record a sack in the first quarter.
1st Quarter: Setting the Stage
The boxscore for this game indicates that the Raiders were fully aware that their best course of action was to avoid dropping back to pass against the vaunted Chargers pass rush. Their first two possessions consisted of a lot of Lamont Jordan runs and short passes by Aaron Brooks. Late in the first quarter a harbinger of things to come appeared when left tackle Robert Gallery took a false start penalty.
Chargers 3 Raiders 0
Merriman doing Foley's "bull dance" after a sack.
2nd Quarter: The Reckoning
Ten seconds into the second quarter tthe flood gates had opened. Shawne Merriman sacked Aaron Brooks for a loss of 8 yards and then did the same two plays later. But on that second sack Merriman was offsides so they replayed the down. This time Shaun Phillips (Steve Foley's replacement) teamed with Luis Castillo to drop Brooks again for a loss of 3 yards.
When the Raiders finally got the ball back late in the 2nd quarter and down by 13, they went to a short passing game. Brooks completed a few short ones before Donnie Edwards and Shaun Phillips dropped him for 7 yards and the game's 3rd sack. Two plays later Shawne Merriman sacked Aaron Brooks for a loss of 8 yards at the two minute mark and the first half concluded shortly thereafter without any more points for the Chargers.
Chargers 13 Raiders 0
3rd Quarter: More of the same
The Raiders continued with a short passing game to avoid San Diego's pressure but it ddin't stop Jamal Williams as he dumped Brooks for the Chargers 5th sack of the night. The night continued with more short passes and handoffs to Lamont Jordan. Aaron Brooks continued to throw incompletions before he was sacked two more times to end the third quarter when Merriman tackled him for a 3 yard loss and Luis Castillo again sacked Brooks for a loss of 7 yards.
Chargers 13 Raiders 0
4th Quarter: Too little to late
The Raiders switched to Andrew Walter in the 4th quarter but it was more of the same: Incompletions, sacks, delay of game calls, and punts. Shaun Phillips tallied the 8th sack of the night when he tackled Walter for a 5 yard loss, resulting in another Shane Lechler punt.
During their next possession, Walter decided to take things into his own hands -- by dropping it out of his hands. Marques Harris recovered the fumble and running back Michael Turner scored a TD three plays later.
The Raiders got the ball back, down by 27, and frantically began to pass the ball down the field. They moved the ball well enough, but it was too little too late. Stephen Cooper recorded the game's 9th sack for the Chargers and the game ended two plays later when the Raiders' drive stalled on the Chargers 10 yard line.
Chargers 27 Raiders 0
So that's my most memorable Chargers versus Raiders game. For me it was a perfect storm of detail: It occurred on the 5th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, on a Monday night to open the season with a key player injured on the defensive side of the ball. Shaun Phillips filled in admirably for Steve "GSW" Foley and has continued to be a fixture at outside linebacker to this day. But it was the sacks that stood out. Oh, the sacks! And the tributes to Foley after each subsequent tackle of the QB -- memorable stuff.
The 2006 season was a fantastic one. And then we had our hearts torn out. But that's a story for another time.
Which Charger/Raider game is at the forefront of your mind?

Q:
Do Mercurial bundle files support internal integrity checks?
I am working on a project with developers around the globe and we are using mercurial for our source control solution. Currently, we communicate our change sets by creating bundles and posting to a mailing list. A disagreement has arisen about best practices, and we have not been able to find an answer in the mercurial documentation.
When creating a bundle, is there any sort of internal integrity check that occurs? Or should we be sending digests along with the change set to ensure file integrity?
A:
A bundle contains exactly the same data as the data transferred by the wire protocol. Due to the way mercurial works, there's a recursive hashing scheme going on, so every revision must be uncorrupted in order to be used.

The National Enquirer has his sexts and, it appears, saucy photos. His imminent divorce is the talk of Wall Street.
So Jeff Bezos, the Amazon boss, announced on Friday that he had turned to a singular figure for help – a “bodyguard to the stars” and Los Angeles-based security consultant named Gavin de Becker.
Bezos and his longtime wife, MacKenzie, are divorcing and the National Enquirer has revealed his extramarital affair with the television personality Lauren Sánchez. Writing on the website Medium, Bezos said the publisher of the National Enquirer had threatened to publish sexual photos he and Sanchez shared if he did not call off De Becker, whom Bezos described as an acquaintance of 20 years. De Becker, Bezos said, is still on the job with instructions “to proceed with whatever budget he needed to pursue the facts” related to the Enquirer’s possession of his communications.
By declaring his troubles so publicly, Bezos was operating straight out of De Becker’s playbook.
In his 1997 book The Gift of Fear, De Becker offered a strategy for dealing with extortionists. De Becker described the case of a client, a young actress, whose ex-boyfriend was demanding $50,000 for his silence about a private matter. He suggested she “kill the threat” by disclosing the matter to her parents so they wouldn’t learn it in “a tabloid’s way”.
“Disclosing harmful information oneself is so radical an idea that most victims of extortion never even consider it,” De Becker wrote, noting that his firm has “a few cases” like that each year.
De Becker & Associates, the 64-year-old’s firm, provides security and, as in Bezos’s case, conducts private investigations for the rich, the powerful and the famous. He has been romantically linked to stars – he dated Geena Davis and Alanis Morissette – and was a guest on Oprah. He and his employees are frequent foes of the tabloid press.
In The Gift of Fear, De Becker recounts, in jarring detail, a childhood defined by brutality. He describes picking up a pistol his mother used to shoot his stepfather, gripping it by the hot barrel as his mother went to tend the wounded man she’d just shot. As he tells it, those experiences drove him to understand violence and fear.
De Becker’s destiny was set at least in part by geography. Attending Beverly Hills high school, he befriended the actor Carrie Fisher, at whose funeral he spoke, and Miguel Ferrer, son of Rosemary Clooney. De Becker went to work for Elizabeth Taylor at 19 as an assistant, took over security for Shaun Cassidy, then a teen star, at 23, and launched his security firm in 1978.
By ever-increasing degrees, has been a Hollywood fixture since, and has become known for injecting analytical processes into the security business.
Dr Park Dietz, a forensic psychiatrist called as an expert to testify against Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Kaczynski and other prominent killers, began working with De Becker in 1983. De Becker’s firm had collected thousands of threatening communications sent to stars, and built dossiers on their authors to gauge those threats. Those records, and a similar collection held by the US Capitol police, formed the basis for their joint research: a National Institute of Justice-supported study of threats against public figures.
They shared an interest, Dietz said, in changing the way society understood stalking, which was then viewed as something experienced only by a handful of famous women. Dietz, founder of the Threat Assessment Group, believes their work made stalking “a household word” and a prosecutable crime.
De Becker, Dietz said, was “on the vanguard of recognizing the similarity of paparazzi and other stalkers”. De Becker also wanted to revolutionize his industry.

“His concern was that Hollywood was full of thug-like bodyguards, with various backgrounds in the martial arts or the military or professional wrestling,” Dietz told the Guardian. “He wanted to try to professionalize an industry that was not well-regarded. And he was a leader in that.”
De Becker’s approach hinges on the proposition that violence can be anticipated, and that would-be subjects of violent crime can be prepared. He has developed, and aggressively defended from critics, a suite of threat assessment tools known as Mosaic. Users answer a series of questions about a threatening person or occurrence using an online interface; the system analyses the answers and gauges the level of threat. His efforts landed De Becker a seat across from Oprah in 2008, an appearance that solidified his status as a security guru.
De Becker is an unabashed protector of the famous and powerful. He launched a private terminal at LAX, the Los Angeles airport, catering to that cohort. He took out an advertisement in the Hollywood Reporter defending Mel Gibson after the actor’s drunken antisemitic tirade was caught on police video.
His other clients have been reported to include Madonna, Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer, Michael J Fox and John Travolta. He provided security to Planned Parenthood, was hired by the Cosbys to investigate threats against the family after the only son of Bill and Camille Cosby was killed, and has consulted on blockbuster films, including The Bodyguard.
During the years Dietz worked with De Becker, he visited the homes of De Becker’s clients, touring guardhouses and safe rooms De Becker’s team had installed.
De Becker, Dietz said, moved with the glad-handing charm of a successful sports agent. “He knew every aspect of the world of celebrity, and had a real commitment to trying to protect them against people who would do them harm,” Dietz said.
Dietz described his time in De Becker’s celebrity-stuffed world eye-opening “and, frankly, fun”.
Others have made a similar appraisal, though considering his travails, Bezos may not be enjoying his time in De Becker’s orbit quite so much.
“He’s the funniest civilian I know,” the comedian Harry Shearer told the Los Angeles Times in 2002 of De Becker. “He’s very bright and disciplined, and he’d probably be good at whatever he wanted to do. But if you do what he does for a living, having a light side would be a necessity.” | {
