It doesn’t take long to figure out which part of the world Gio Gonzalez calls home. The answer is obvious when the Washington Nationals pitcher wears his black snapback cap with HIALEAH spelled out in black block letters. It is gleaned, too, from his walk-up music at Nationals Park, which currently is a snippet of a Pitbull song called “Greenlight” featuring Flo Rida and LunchMoney Lewis. All three are Miamians. There are references to the 305 — the Miami area code — throughout. Gonzalez is Miami-Dade County through and through.
But as the son of a mother born in Havana and a first-generation Cuban father from New Jersey, his identity is a bit more complicated.
“If I talk to a Latin ballplayer, I’m Cuban,” Gonzalez said. “And if I talk to an American guy, I’m American. No matter what. You’re never going to win in that argument. It’s never a win-win situation.”
This is National Hispanic Heritage Month, a period that runs from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, and Major League Baseball is recognizing it with a campaign it’s calling “Ponle Acento,” meaning “put an accent on it.” Of the league’s 30 teams, 23 are hosting Hispanic Heritage games, including the Nationals’ game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
[Mariners suspend catcher for remainder of season over nasty tweets]
Said Manny Machado of his heritage: ‘I love this country. I love everything about it. But, you know what? I’m Dominican. You get the best of both worlds, and it’s a privilege, honestly.’ (Mitchell Layton/Getty Images)
The effort is to celebrate “the many ways that MLB clubs and Latino players impact the game on the field and in the Latino community,” the league said. According to MLB, 214 players on Opening Day rosters this season identified as Hispanic/Latino (28.53 percent). Players from Latin American nations comprise the vast majority, but included in the calculation is a growing population of American players who likewise identify as Latino, reflective of the American population at-large.
They are the sons and grandsons of people who left Latin America for the United States, and they are players who navigate between two universes, inside and outside of the clubhouse.
“I’m American-born,” said Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado, a Miami native and son of Dominican immigrants. “I love this country. I love everything about it. But, you know what? I’m Dominican. You get the best of both worlds, and it’s a privilege, honestly.”

Not every Latino is the same. Different countries have different cultures and dialects. Countries contain more layers of differences within. Latin Americans, so often grouped together, are vastly diverse, too, beyond country of origin. Some speak Spanish fluently. Some prefer Spanglish. Some do only English. Some have a deeper connection to their roots than others. The diversity is evident in baseball clubhouses.
Nationals reliever Rafael Martin was born in California but spent parts of his childhood, until the seventh grade, in Mexico. He’s fluent in English and Spanish and easily flows between conversations in both. He catches up on telenovelas with his mother during the offseason, and he listens to two genres of music: banda, a type of traditional Mexican music, and country. Before he became a professional baseball player, the only Latinos he had ever interacted with were Mexican.
“At first, it’s interesting,” Martin said. “Weird sometimes. Especially like [how] other countries use different words in Spanish. I find it very interesting, the way people come up in different countries, different styles.”
[Nats’ Melancon admits it’s strange being back in Pittsburgh]
Gonzalez grew up in Hialeah around Latinos, mostly Cubans, hearing Spanish constantly. His grandparents spoke the language exclusively. But Spanish wasn’t prevalent in his household, and that’s what he told the group of Latinos on the 2004 Bristol White Sox, his first professional team, who gravitated toward him because of his last name and were puzzled when Gonzalez was reluctant to use Spanish.
“It was funny,” Gonzalez said. “I told them the only time I was spoken to in Spanish either was when I was in trouble from Mom or Dad or when I stayed at my grandparents’ house.”
A 12-year crash course later, Gonzalez, 31, says his Spanish has vastly improved. With the language skills and cultural connection comes additional duty.
“I always wanted to make it a point to speak to Latin ballplayers in Spanish,” Gonzalez said. “Let them know I understand and I can help them out in any way.”
As the son of Hall of Famer Tony Perez, Eduardo Perez was born in Cincinnati, grew up in major league clubhouses and split his childhood between the continental United States and Puerto Rico. He attended high school in Puerto Rico then college at Florida State before the California Angels drafted him in the first round in 1991. He realized his unique background immediately.
Perez said he bought 50 $1 Whoppers from Burger King for his Latino teammates every day in spring training with the Angels one year. He lost count of the times he served as an interpreter during eye exams. He gave financial advice to Latinos and explained cultural differences.
“A lot of players have been cut short not understanding the culture on both sides,” said Perez, now an ESPN analyst. “That is something that has to be improved on. And that’s where sometimes I’d come in and help.”
While major league teams are now required to have a Spanish-language translator and minor league coaching staffs are increasingly diverse, bilingual players still serve as intermediaries. Nationals minor league pitcher Ronald Peña was born in Florida to Dominican immigrants. His family has cooked Dominican dishes for teammates, and, as he’s often the only Spanish-speaking player on his team with a car, Latino teammates feel comfortable asking him for rides.
“It’s kind of like being the middleman,” said Peña, 25, who roomed with Nationals catcher Pedro Severino for two years. “It’s something I take pride in, being able to help those guys out with whatever was needed.”
Peña said he identifies as Dominican, even though his time spent in the Dominican Republic growing up was limited to a couple weeks every year or two. Machado does, too, and he announced earlier this year that he will play for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic next spring. In 2006, Alex Rodriguez, also raised in Miami by Dominican parents, initially announced he was going to play for the Dominican Republic before changing his mind and playing for the U.S. team. The decision was heavily criticized in the Dominican Republic. Two years later, Rodriguez committed to the Dominican team, but an injury forced him to withdraw from the next year’s competition.
“It’s tough,” Machado, 24, said. “I’ve played for Team USA already. I played here, but I think it’s a little more than that. I think it goes more to pride and more to what my family wants and what they would love. They’ve always wanted to see me play in those Dominican colors and represent their country.”
Icy political relations between the United States and Cuba don’t give Cuban-Americans the option to play for Cuba, and Gonzalez played for the U.S. team in the 2013 tournament.
“You want to kind of represent where you’re from,” Gonzalez said. “Obviously I was born in Hialeah, Florida, and I’m American, but I also have Latin roots, so it’s a nice thing to put that badge on your chest. . . . I wish there was something like a Cuban-American team. It would be a pretty interesting group. A big group.” | {

On the incidence of third head of biceps brachii in Turkish neonates and adults.
The occurrence of a third head of the biceps brachii has been reported in several articles. The aim of this study is to determine on the incidence of the third head of biceps brachii in Turkish neonates and adults, and to compare it with other studies. Also the functional and phylogenetic importance of the third head was described here. The third head was studied in 160 arms of 60 (45 males, 15 females) neonatal and 20 (13 males, 7 females) adult cadavers and was found in 24 (15%) specimens. It had the three different origins and frequently arose from the anterior surface of the humerus and distal to the insertion of the coracobrachialis muscle. In all cases, the third head inserted into the conjoined tendon of biceps brachii and received its nerve supply from the musculocutaneous nerve. In our study the rate of the third head was different than those for most other published series and that the difference are possibly caused by evolutionary and/or racial trends in different studied populations. We believe that the third head of biceps brachii muscle is not a relatively rare variant. The knowledge of such variations may become significant in preoperative diagnosis and during surgery. | {

The double-stranded (ds) RNA-activated protein kinase, PKR, is one of several proteins induced by interferon and plays a pivotal role in the cellular antiviral response. PKR has also been implicated in other cellular processes including transformation, differentiation and apoptosis. There are also structural and functional connections between PKR and the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. PKR is synthesized in a latent state and is activated upon binding to dsRNA to undergo autophosphorylation reactions that activate the kinase. In turn, activated PKR phosphorylates eukaryotic initiation factor 2a, resulting in the inhibition of protein synthesis in virally-infected cells. The importance of this antiviral pathway is highlighted by the diverse mechanisms that viruses have evolved to combat PKR. The broad objective of our research program is to define the molecular mechanisms for activation and inhibition of PKR. We will define the stoichiometries, affinities and free-energy coupling that govern formation of macromolecular complexes that regulate PKR activity using quantitative biophysical and structural methods. We will determine how NS5A from hepatitis C virus and NS1 from influenza virus interact with PKR to evade the antiviral pathway. Mutations in these proteins that affect virulence or confer interferon resistance will be correlated with PKR binding and inhibition. We will determine how short, heparin oligosaccharides function as PKR activators. Microarrays of synthetic oligosaccharides will be screened and structure-activity relationships will be generated to define novel small-molecule activators of PKR. These studies will provide the foundation for the design of therapeutic agents that target PKR for the treatment of viral infections and cancer. | {

The present invention relates generally to the removal of impurities contained in fluidic streams. More specifically, the invention relates to adsorbents for the removal of water and/or other oxygen-containing impurities from fluid streams comprising ammonia and methods for making and using same.
Ultra-high purity (UHP) ammonia (NH3) is widely used in a variety of different applications. For example, UHP ammonia may be used in the semiconductor industry for forming silicon nitride barrier layers in integrated circuits (IC). It is believed that the silicon nitride layers prevent metal migration during IC processing. Further, UHP ammonia is needed for manufacturing metal nitrides, such as gallium nitride, aluminum nitride, and indium nitride, that are used in light emitting diodes (LED) and laser diodes. These metal nitrides have the ability to emit light over a wide-spectral range. With the blue light capability, manufacturers of LEDs are now able to make these devices in any color of the spectrum. Furthermore, laser diodes are key components of optical storage media, see, e.g., P. Kung and M. Razeghi, Opto-electronics Review, 8(3) 201-239 (2000).
The electrical properties of devices such as IC devices and LEDs are very dependent on the impurity level in the nitride layers, which, in turn, is directly related to the purity of source ammonia used in manufacturing. Therefore, a purification system is normally required to remove impurities in ammonia. This purification is often done by passing a stream of gaseous or liquid ammonia through a purifier. One major target of the purifier is oxygen-containing impurities. Trace levels of oxygen-containing impurities in ammonia, such as water (H2O), oxygen (O2), carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide (CO2), can adversely affect production yields during the manufacture of semiconductor or other electronics devices as well as the end-product performance.
Among the oxygen-containing impurities, water may be the most challenging to remove. Water has a high affinity for ammonia due to its similar physical and chemical properties, e.g. molecular size and hydrogen bonding. For the manufacturing of semiconductor or other electronic devices, ammonia having water concentration at the ppm level is considered unacceptable. To ensure satisfactory performance of the manufactured device, the water content in the ammonia must be reduced to the ppb level, i.e., less than 100 ppb or below. Current drying methods and materials may have certain limitations when removing water and other oxygen-containing species down to the ppb level.
Ammonia has been traditionally supplied as a cylinder gas because the consumption rate of ammonia in these processes has been relatively low. Recently, however, the rapid growth in the LED market has increased the usage of ammonia thereby making it uneconomical to supply or use ammonia in this manner. Subsequently, the electronics industry is moving to “bulk supply” systems in which large storage vessels are used to supply ammonia. Using these systems, it would be more preferable to purify the ammonia at the storage vessel. This places new demands on the ammonia purification system. In this connection, the purifier must be capable of handling and purifying ammonia at relatively higher flow rates. Further, it is desirable for purifiers of bulk supply systems to have a longer useful life than point of use purifiers.
Bulk supply purification systems for removal of impurities from ammonia typically involve a purification bed containing sorbent media, scavengers, or adsorbents. These purification beds tend to be relatively large and the adsorbents contained therein are comparatively expensive. In order to reduce the operating costs and size of the system as well improve separation efficiency, it is desirable that the adsorbent satisfy one or more of the following criteria. First, the adsorbent should have relatively fast sorption kinetics since the efficiency of a purifier is directly related to the rate of sorption of the impurity on the media. Faster sorption rates may allow for smaller sorption beds thereby increasing the purification efficiency at a lower cost. Second, the adsorbent should have relatively high sorption capacity since the size of the purifier is directly related to the sorption capacity of the adsorbent. Adsorbents with high capacity are thus required to reduce the overall purifier size and cost. In addition, a relatively high adsorption capacity at the water partial pressure range of interest, up to 6.65×10−3 torr, is necessary to reduce the impurity levels of ammonia to the ppb level. Third, the adsorbent should be stable in ammonia to prevent the formation of gaseous or volatile by-products generated during purification. Fourth, the adsorbent should be nonvolatile at the temperatures needed for purification. Lastly, the adsorbent is preferred to be regenerable.
There are a number of physical and chemical adsorption methods in the prior art for removing water and other oxygen-containing impurities from ammonia. One chemical adsorption method to remove water from ammonia involves metal oxide adsorbents. For example, Japanese Patent 97142833 discloses removal of water from ammonia by contacting the gas with an adsorbent comprising BaO, or a mixture containing BaO as the major compound, whereby water is removed through a chemical reaction with the metal oxide. Because the major mass transfer limitation may be through the reaction product, this approach may suffer from low adsorption kinetics.
Another chemical adsorption method is described in EPs 0484301 B1 and 0470 936 B1. These patents describe the use of hydrogenated getter metal alloys comprised of varying amounts of zirconium (Zr), vanadium (V) and iron (Fe) with a preferred composition of 70% Zr, 24.6% V, and 5.4% Fe. These hydrogenated getter metal alloy adsorbents are impractical for bulk purification of ammonia for several reasons. The preparation of these alloys involves multiple steps prior to use: the alloys need to be activated by heating to elevated temperatures of around 350° C. in a reducing gas stream and the alloys need to hydrogenated, or treated in a stream of hydrogen. Further, the alloys may require an operating temperature of over 100° C. to work properly.
Yet another chemical adsorbent method is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,241,955. The '955 patent discloses an adsorbent that is a reduced metal oxide, solid substrate having a surface area of 100 m2/g or larger. An oxide, such as manganese or molybdenum oxides, is partially reduced in H2 or another agent to produce active sorption sites. It is believed that the gaseous contaminants are removed by a combination of reaction with metal active sites and adsorption on the substrate surface.
A still further example of a chemical adsorption method is disclosed in European patent application EP 1,176,120. The '120 application describes removing water and other impurities from ammonia by contacting the ammonia with an adsorbent having manganese oxide and/or nickel oxide as an active ingredient on a porous support. The adsorbent is prepared by reduction in hydrogen of the metal oxide at temperatures greater than 500° C. for manganese and up to 350° C. for nickel. The ammonia may further be passed through a bed of synthetic zeolite.
Further examples of prior art, chemical adsorbents consist of a scavenger deposited on an organic support. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,761,395 discloses metallic carbanion or anion scavengers on an organometallic support. The active scavenger sites are formed by the reaction between a protonated carbanion and an organic deprotonating agent. A major concern of using this approach is the possibility of releasing hydrocarbon impurities to the purified gas stream if the organic deprotonating agent is not fully removed from the support or if the protonated carboanion is an organic material. Hydrocarbon contamination, even at very low levels, may be deleterious to semiconductor devices. Yet another example of a scavenger on an organic support is found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,531,971. The '971 patent discloses a pyrolyzed metal scavenger deposited on a polymeric or macroreticulate polymer support. The pyrolyzed metals are selected from Group IA of the Periodic Table. One potential problem with this approach is that the scavenger may release metal particles into the purified gas stream. Further, the reaction between free alkyl metal and water may release gaseous H2. The introduction of new impurities from either of the adsorbents described in the '395 or '971 patents, namely hydrocarbons, metal particles, and gaseous H2, is unacceptable in the manufacturing of semiconductor, LED, or other electronic devices.
Further examples of prior art chemical adsorption methods involve scavengers deposited on an inorganic support. In this connection, published application WO 00/23174 describes a scavenger that comprises an active agent on an inorganic support such as a zeolite, alumina, or silica material. The active agent is formed by pyrolysis of an adsorbed hydride at an elevated temperature. Because of the limited number of function groups on the surface of an inorganic support and the unfavorable pyrolysis reaction, the amount of active sites may be limited.
A still further example of a prior art adsorption method is the use of CaSO4 by itself to remove water from ammonia. One drawback to this approach is the low achievable water adsorption efficiency due to its limited surface area.
The aforementioned chemical adsorption methods are typically not regenerable because the reaction between the active phase of the scavenger and water is almost irreversible. To remedy this, physical adsorption on molecular sieves may be used to remove water from ammonia. This method, however, may be inefficient because of the thermodynamic properties of ammonia and water. Since their thermodynamic properties are similar, ammonia and water may compete for the adsorption sites on the material.
Accordingly, there is a need in the art to provide new adsorbents to purify ammonia to the ppb level. There is a need in the art to provide regenerable adsorbents that have a relatively high sorption capacity and relatively faster sorption kinetic. There is also a need in the art to provide adsorbents that operate effectively at ambient temperatures. Further, there is a need in the art for adsorbents that can avoid the introduction of additional contaminants into ammonia during the purification process. Moreover, there is a need in the art for processes for making adsorbents that require fewer process steps to manufacture and have lower activation temperatures.

Influence of sampling strategies on the estimated nitrous oxide emission from wastewater treatment plants.
In the last few years, the emission of nitrous oxide from wastewater treatment plants has become a topic of increased interest, given its considerable impact on the overall climate footprint of wastewater treatment plants. Various sampling strategies to estimate nitrous oxide emission from wastewater treatment plants have been applied in different studies. The present study addresses the influence of sampling strategies on the estimated emission by analysing the variability of an extensive dataset of nitrous oxide emissions resulting from a long-term online monitoring campaign at a full-scale municipal wastewater treatment plant. It is shown that short-term sampling is inadequate to accurately estimate the average nitrous oxide emissions from a particular wastewater treatment plant, while online monitoring is indispensable to capture the short-term variability (diurnal dynamics). | {

Optimal medical therapy for coronary artery disease in 2011 - perspectives from the STICH Trial.
Medical, percutaneous interventional, and surgical treatments for the management of coronary heart disease have progressed markedly during the past decade. There is evidence to suggest that for patients with stable coronary heart disease optimal medical therapy is equal in effectiveness for lowering the risk of major cardiovascular events, such as cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke, as are revascularization procedures, such as coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary intervention. The landmark Surgical Treatment for Ischemic Heart Failure (STICH) trial found no significant difference between medical therapy alone and medical therapy plus coronary artery bypass grafting with respect to the primary end point of death from any cause (all-cause mortality). However, secondary outcomes showed fewer deaths from cardiovascular causes in the surgical group versus the medical group. Medical therapy has improved over time, as have surgical techniques including myocardial preservation, and both approaches have their place, especially since chest pain relief and quality of life may benefit more in some cases by revascularization. Certainly, coronary artery bypass grafting has general acceptance for three-vessel coronary heart disease, and percutaneous coronary artery intervention is the standard of care for the involved artery in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction when the intervention can be accomplished rapidly. Medical management includes lifestyle changes that benefit coronary heart disease, drug therapy to improve prognosis, and drug therapy to improve symptoms. The key to clinical management is the selection of the procedure and/or medical management strategy that is in the best interest of the individual cardiovascular patient. In addition, discussing with patients their options and considering what best fits their wishes is especially critical when there is no clear-cut best strategy. Continued collaboration between cardiologists concentrating on medical approaches with interventionists and cardiac surgeons (heart team approach) is essential for optimal management for each individual patient. | {

Directional characteristics of the acoustic receiver of the leopard frog (Rana pipiens): a study of eighth nerve auditory responses.
The directional characteristics of the peripheral auditory system were assessed from studying the effects of sound direction on the responses of single auditory fibers in the eighth nerve of leopard frogs (Rana pipiens). Two types of directional response characteristics were observed which are correlated with the best excitatory frequency of the afferent fiber. Low-frequency sensitive neurons possessed V-shaped directional-response curves with a null at the frontal sound field. High-frequency sensitive neurons, on the other hand, showed a strong response to sound coming from the ipsilateral field with a progressively weaker response as the sound source was rotated to the frontal and contralateral field. Two directional cues were revealed: pressure variation at the eardrum and the directionality of the acoustic receiver system. The relative weight contributed by each factor also varies with frequency. | {

This application is in response to RFA-NS-13-003, NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research Grand Challenge: Discovering Novel Drugs for Disorders of the Nervous System (U01). Orexin- A (OXA) and orexin-B (OXB), also known as hypocretin-1 and hypocretin-2, are lateral hypothalamic (LH) neuropeptides that stimulate orexin-1 (OX1) and orexin-2 (OX2) receptors. Recently, our laboratory and others have generated compelling evidence that OXA peptide, acting through OX1 receptors, regulates the stimulatory effects of nicotine on brain reward systems and thereby controls nicotine self-administration behavior in rats and mice. In addition, OX1 receptors regulate the relapse-like reinstatement of extinguished drug-seeking responses in abstinent rats and mice. Indeed, the development of OX1 receptor antagonists that are safe for use in humans is considered perhaps the most promising approach to developing novel therapeutic agents for tobacco dependence and other substance abuse disorders in humans. We aim to facilitate the design, synthesis and testing in relevant preclinical models, of novel OX1 receptor antagonists through the Blueprint Neurotherapeutics Network. We have identified novel chemical scaffolds that are yielding selective OX1 receptor antagonists that should be suitable for development through the Blueprint Network. We have developed robust cell-based assays to reliably OX1 receptor antagonist actions (and appropriate counterscreens). In addition, we have established the most relevant animal model of nicotine addiction currently available, the intravenous nicotine self-administration procedure, in mice. We can now assess the effects of novel OX1 receptor antagonists on nicotine reinforcement in wildtype mice to determine if the compounds demonstrate in vivo efficacy. Also, the effects of novel OX1 receptor antagonists on responding for nicotine in OX1 receptor knockout mice can be assessed, thereby determining if the compounds are behaviorally selective. This exciting drug development program capitalizes on the unique capabilities of Blueprint Neurotherapeutics Network. It will leverage our progress to date in identifying novel chemical scaffolds and take advantage of our highly relevant in vitro and in vivo assays. Hence, this program promises to yield OX1 receptor antagonists as novel therapeutic for smoking cessation. | {

Glowcap Mushrooms
Description
I've seen your kind use shiny round pieces of metal to trade for things that you need. We're not so different from you. We use shiny round mushrooms as our currency.
Glowcap mushrooms grow everywhere in the marsh, you just have to know how to pick them from the ground without wrecking them. I'll teach you how to do it, if you promise to bring us some for our reserves. What do you say, <name>?

What many people don't know about mining/herbalism/gathering, is that nodes spawn in specific places. I have a mod called gatherer, it tells me exactly where I've gathered one of my last ores/plants/gathering material.
I recently went back today to grab some, and noticed that they were all in the same place I had gathered last time. Here are some coordinates, watch out, only a certain amount can be spawned in the region at a time. These should mostly work though.
37,32 37,43 37,37 37,46 36,47 35,49 27,50 27,52
Glowcap mushrooms are MAINLY, about 90% on the left side of Zangarmarsh.
These do grow in areas, and are very small, so you have to look in the entire area when going to the coordinate.

I turned in the first 10 and I can't take this quest. I am friendly with them and i'm level 62.
Comment by Eric6879
40, 35 and surrounding area, you'll find about 5 Glowcap Mushrooms. Lvl 62 Bogflare Needler's are the only mobs in the area.
Comment by mctrustry
A good crop of 'shrooms are available from about 30,35 down to 34,38 and over to about 38,31. Any herbalists can take advantage of the plethora (a whole buncha) ragveil in the area too. Lvl 64 Rogue, I easily picked up 30 and killed ogres when I could be bothered!
Comment by Arorndulia
For advice there are alot of mushrooms at the ango'rosh ogres. Alot easier to find them there.
Comment by Kirestin
This quest is easiest if you also have the quests Wanted Boss Grog'ak and Familiar Fungi. This is where I had the best luck finding these shiny mushrooms. The Ogre's are levels 62 and 63 .
Comment by Vanquisher
Anyone know if this counts as an achievement as part of the number of quests completed?
Comment by TheMardraum
This quest needs to be fixed. Only being able to attain the starter at neutral turned out to be a pain for me, as I did the two quests at neut in the spawning glen, and those along with killing giants popped me friendly before I had a chance to grab it

also used as money in Sporregar
Comment by Frungi
Sometimes I just don’t understand the logic behind quests…I’ll teach you how to pick glowcap mushrooms without wrecking them, but GO WRECK SOME FIRST. Because we’re running low on wrecked mushrooms.
Comment by keaa
I had a very hard time finding the mushrooms. I went and tried Ango'rosh, and I couldnt find any, on my way back to Sporeggar, I went and gave Marshlight Lake a try. Had a lot of luck with that. Finished in about 15 minutes. :)
Comment by scorpio0679
Ok so you need to know what they look like. I was looking for shiny white mushrooms, for some reason. The glowcap actually has a bright orange cap on it, looks kinda like a mini furnace. When you hover the mouse over it, it comes up with one of the gear wheels same as if you were harvesting herbs. however, these do not sparkle so makes it a little more challenging to know what you are looking for.
took me a while because i didn't know what i was looking for but now that i found one, all of a sudden they are everywhere lol.
Comment by 3ICE
There is a way to get this quest past friendly if you forgot to take it while you could.
Kill Sporeggar Spawns for -15 rep each, or hell, massacre the entire Sporeggar village, and you will be back to neutral very fast. ("At War" is a great tool.)
Sure you then have to grind your rep back up again, and it is going to take a few hours even with Sanguine Hibiscus being so easy to farm, but to completionists, one quest is worth all this trouble.
Me, I just set carbonite to ignore the quest (fake completed) and moved on. Already got for loremaster.
Comment by jadea864
Thank god I read this, I was going crazy trying to find the Glowcaps! They kinda look like little orange mushrooms with uplights in the tops of them. Best tip is to look around for them, don't rely on the map cos I kept circling the same spot and couldn't find one until I moved a bit further away on another quest.
Comment by xennex
I think I got this quest at friendly and I turned it in at honored, but I can be mistaken, maybe I got it at neutral. Anyway, at honored the follow-up repeatable quest is no longer availabe.
Comment by gtadem
As of 4.3, this quest is either no longer available or not available at friendly and beyond. You can now get friendly with Sporeggar simply by doing two of the four quests inside Underbog. Quests you can do regardless of your rep with Sporeggar, unlike before.
Having viewed this lacking a 2nd time, I filled out a ticket. A GM has confirmed that this quest as of 4.3 is no longer available at friendly and beyond. So if you're a fan of "buyable XP" like me, be sure to turn in your glowcaps before going into the underbog for the first time. Or just don't turn in the underbog quests until after you turn in the glowcaps quest.
Comment by Juranda
Unless you are a hardcore completionist, this quest is a little counterproductive. Glowcaps are used as currency with this faction and they have a companion pet, tabard, and recipies for a few different professions available. Pounding through the Underbog, doing the 2 quests inside and turning in the repeatable sanguine hibiscus quest inside the instance is a much better way to gain rep, as the hibiscus continues to respawn after everything in the instance has been killed. With human and guild bonus applied I got 900 rep per 5 turned in all the way to exalted.
Comment by WokkaD
All, please note : THIS QUEST HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE GAME
As mentioned below, the Glowcaps are the currency of Sporeggar.

Save at least 30 of these to buy the pet from sporeggar's quartermaster Mycah.Save 10 more to purchase the tabard. | {

[Nutrition management for COPD].
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory reaction of the lung and of the whole body, and pulmonary cachexia often occurs during the advanced stage. The effects of nutritional support upon the management of under-nutrition in COPD remain controversial. However, a study of the effects of nutritional supplement therapy upon such patients with COPD has recently been published. The present report comprises a review of recent articles about the nutritional support of patients with COPD, especially those with cachexia, and a discussion about the roles of nutritional supplement therapy, focusing on exercise and treatment with ghrelin and vitamin D in the management of COPD. | {

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert made the decision to pull $796 million in line item funding to refuel the USS George Washington from a list of unfunded priorities the Pentagon sent to Congress, the U.S. Naval Institute reported.
Following the yearly defense budget submission, the Pentagon regularly sends Congress an unfunded priorities list of items not covered in the budget proposal. The idea is to give Congress an indication of where they might put any additional dollars -- should they become available.
A specific listing of funding for long-lead items for the USS George Washington was placed on an early draft of the list and then subsequently removed, according to USNI.
The USNI report quotes a March 31 letter from Greenert to Congress spelling out his rationale for removing the item from the unfunded priorities list.
"I have not included specific funding in the [Fiscal Year] 2015 budget for the USS George Washington refueling overhaul," the letter states.
The Navy has said it would like to keep the USS George Washington in active service for another 25 years, which would keep the service’s carrier fleet at 11.
However, Navy senior leaders have also said that decisions about funding the mid-life refueling and overhaul for the George Washington -- something which is necessary for the carrier to continue with another 25 years of service life -- will need to be deferred for another year.
If sequestration levels of spending return in 2016, as is currently the law under the Budget Control Act, then the Navy will not be able to afford the five-year, $7 billion effort needed to refuel the carrier, senior leaders have said.
Greenert addresses these points in his letter to Congress, saying the decision about whether to refuel the carrier hinges upon the fiscal outlook in 2016 and beyond.
"This unfunded transcends FY 2015 -- it is a Future Year Defense Program requirement. Retaining this aircraft carrier would require $7 billion across our FYDP. Thus, the decision to refuel or inactivate CVN-73 is dependent upon the fiscal outlook in FY 2016 and beyond, and whether we will be forced to return to sequestration levels [of funding]," the letter states, according to USNI.
According to these and other comments from senior Navy officials, the USS George Washington will be refueled and kept in service if sequestration is avoided or ended in 2016. Conversely, a return to sequestration levels of funding in 2016 means the aircraft carrier would be retired.
Keeping the dollars for the refueling and overhaul off of the unfunded priorities list seems to make the equation or circumstance more clear, essentially suggesting that continued sequestration means no carrier.
At the same time, it would also appear that placing the unfunded priority dollars on the list would leave the door open for Congress to explore potential scenarios wherein funding options for the carrier could be explored within the framework of sequestration.

Months before Jeff Bridges told the world what it means to be a “trim tab” in his Golden Globes speech, he talked to us about the man who originated the phrase: Bucky Fuller, an architect whose innovations include the geodesic dome.
Fuller came up surprisingly quickly when the Oscar-winning actor stopped by our “Shoot This Now” podcast for a talk about his new environmental documentary “Living in the Future’s Past.” You can listen on Apple or right here.
Bridges, who received the Globes’ Cecil B DeMille award on Sunday night, told us in October how Fuller, one of his heroes, introduced the metaphor of the “trim tab” to explain how small changes can force large ones. Fuller noted that the rudder of a massive ship has a rudder of its own, called a “trim tab,” that moves the larger rudder, and in turn the entire ship.
“Bucky Fuller says that this is a great metaphor for how the individual affects society — that we are all connected to other groups of people who are likeminded, want to go in that direction,” Bridges said. “And as a matter of fact on Bucky’s gravestone he’s carved in there ‘Call Me Trim Tab.’ And that’s always been an inspiration to me.”
Bridges presented the film “Living in the Future Past,” which Susan Kucera directed. The film opened a week before Bridges’ “Bad Times at the El Royal
Bridges tried to be a trim tab on the set of “Bad Times,” asking for a small, environmentally friendly change. It turns out he didn’t need to, as he explains on the podcast.
Pauline Kael said Bridges “may be the most natural and least self-conscious screen actor who ever lived.” That shines through in his chat with us, which also covers “Starman,” why birds fly the way they do, and why we may all want to re-think the kinds of straws we use.

The mediating and moderating effects of meaning in life on the relationship between depression and quality of life in patients with dysphagia.
To identify whether meaning in life has moderating and mediating effects on the relationship between depression and quality of life in patients with dysphagia. Dysphagic patients typically have multidimensional problems, such as depression, which can negatively influence their quality of life. Meaning in life, therefore, can be used as a psychological resource that may enhance quality of life for these patients. A descriptive cross-sectional research design was used. Ninety patients with dysphagia were recruited for a survey from eight general and rehabilitation hospitals in Korea. The questionnaires, which included the Korean version of the Swallowing Quality of Life scale developed by Cha, the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale developed by Radloff, and the Purpose in Life test developed by Crumbaugh and Maholick, were used for data collection. Descriptive statistics, Hayes' PROCESS macro and Cronbach's alpha were used for data analyses. Meaning in life was found to mediate the relationship between depression and quality of life in patients with dysphagia. However, the index of moderation was not statistically significant, which mean that meaning in life did not moderate the relationship between the patients' depression and quality of life. Meaning in life had a mediating effect on the relationship between depression and quality of life in patients with dysphagia. Thus, to improve the quality of life of patients with dysphagia, nurses should apply interventions to help them find meaning in life. Meaning in life can be used as a nursing intervention strategy to improve the quality of life for patients living with dysphagia and depression. | {

Corticosterone treatment of pregnant low dose endotoxin-treated rats: inhibition of the inflammatory response.
Can the endotoxin-induced inflammatory response, underlying experimental pre-eclampsia, in pregnant rats be inhibited by corticosterone? On day 10 of pregnancy, rats were implanted with pellets containing 25% corticosterone and 75% cholesterol (n = 10) or with 100% cholesterol-pellets (n = 10). On day 14 of pregnancy, rats were infused with either endotoxin (1.0 microg/kg bw) or saline. Three days later, they were sacrificed. Cryostat kidney sections were immunohistologically stained for the presence of neutrophils (PMN) and monocytes (MO) and the expression of inflammation-associated adhesion molecules. In cholesterol-treated rats, endotoxin significantly increased glomerular numbers of PMN and MO, glomerular expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 and glomerular numbers of LFA-1 and VLA-4-positive cells as compared with saline. Corticosterone treatment significantly inhibited glomerular infiltration of PMN, MO and LFA-1 positive cells after endotoxin infusion. It did not affect glomerular ICAM-1 or VCAM-1 expression or numbers of VLA-4 positive cells. It is concluded that pre-treatment with corticosterone inhibits the low dose endotoxin-induced glomerular inflammatory reaction in pregnant rats, most likely by inhibiting LFA-1 expression, thereby decreasing the adhesiveness of inflammatory cells for activated endothelial cells. | {

In July 2017, a multidisciplinary group of clinicians and researchers who focus on the care and study of older adults or on the fundamental mechanisms of aging (Table S1) met at a retreat in San Francisco, CA, to create a roadmap for developing a biomedical workforce capable of efficiently translating recent advances in geroscience through early‐stage clinical trials to improve the health and care of older adults. This retreat was the final of a series of six retreats funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) R24 Geroscience Network: a consortium of 18 centers across the United States that seeks to accelerate the translation of advances in the basic science of aging toward improving the care of older adults.
“Geroscience” describes the application of biological mechanisms of aging to improve human health and treat disease.1 The novelty of geroscience as a translational discipline, and the source of its clinical promise, is that the same mechanism(s) of aging contribute to many chronic conditions. A geroscience intervention might have greater, even transformative, clinical impact compared to treating several conditions individually. Multimorbidity, for example, is seen not as a coincidence of independent diseases but rather as a multisystem manifestation of aging that can be targeted by therapies—a perspective familiar to geriatric medicine practitioners. The geroscience hypothesis is that therapies targeting fundamental aging processes might improve human health span by delaying, preventing, alleviating, or reversing a wide range of chronic diseases and conditions for which age is the primary nonmodifiable risk factor.2
The Geroscience Network retreats2 created strategies for developing geroscience interventions and testing the geroscience hypothesis (Figure 1). The first three retreats defined specific needs in drug screening and development,3 preclinical animal models,4 and clinical trials.5 The fourth retreat helped to develop the protocol for the Targeting Aging With Metformin study, a proposed randomized controlled trial testing whether metformin can delay multimorbidity.6 The fifth retreat described three frameworks for designing early‐stage clinical trials of geroscience interventions, targeting geriatric syndromes, age‐related diseases, and resilience.7
Figure 1 Open in figure viewer PowerPoint 1 7 What is translational geroscience? A deep understanding of fundamental mechanisms of aging leads to the development of therapeutic interventions. These aging‐targeting interventions are then tested for efficacy in clinical trials using outcomes that broadly represent aging, including geriatric syndromes, chronic diseases of aging and multimorbidity, or decreased physical resilience. The first generation of such geroscience clinical trials is currently underway or completed. Mechanisms of aging are adapted from the “Pillars of Aging”,and clinical trial frameworks are from an earlier report of the Geroscience Network.
Together, these retreats identified early‐stage, proof‐of‐concept clinical trials as the key bottleneck in the development of geroscience interventions. Many discoveries remain “stuck” at the laboratory bench. One of the most critical barriers to translation is the scarcity of investigators with the combined training and expertise in clinical research, care of older adults, and aging biology necessary to lead these trials. The retreats concluded that neither geroscience clinical trials nor the investigators to carry them out will emerge spontaneously at any scale from existing programs. The need for new infrastructure to support geroscience clinical trials was discussed in a separate white paper.7 This final retreat described the unmet need for geroscience investigators and discussed four major topics related to training this workforce: subject domains and competencies, identification of candidate learners, credentialing, and program implementation.
Investigators for Early‐Stage Geroscience Clinical Trials: An Unmet Need Geroscience clinical trials, as envisaged by the Geroscience Network retreats, would target integrative, multisystem phenotypes of aging, such as geriatric syndromes,8 multimorbidity, or resilience to acute health stressors.9 The pathophysiology being targeted is aging, not a particular disease. Although aging occurs throughout the lifespan, these phenotypes that are representative of aging are best characterized and most feasible to study in older adults. They also comprise the core of geriatric medicine as a clinical specialty. Apart from the biological mechanisms of the interventions, geroscience trials that target geriatric syndromes, multimorbidity, or resilience in older adults will be familiar to any geriatric‐oriented investigator. Many geroscience interventions, such as those targeting senescent cells or proteostasis, have pleotropic effects on multiple systems. Therefore, they may be similar in concept to the pleotropic and multicomponent interventions that are the well‐studied standard of care for geriatric syndromes.8, 10 Geroscience clinical trials will emphasize, rather than exclude, older adults with multiple comorbidities.11 They will often occur in coordination with care programs specialized for older adults, such as inpatient geriatric services, rehabilitation, and prehabilitation. They will involve multidomain and functional outcomes.12 The field of geroscience can also be advanced through testing interventions in more traditional single‐disease clinical trials with a disease‐specific primary outcome if these trials incorporate elements like aging biomarkers and multidomain or functional secondary outcomes. While there was a strong consensus that the interrelationship between geroscience and geriatric medicine makes translational investigators drawn from a geriatric medicine background indispensable to the progress of both areas, the workgroup also recognized that most investigators will come from other fields. Geriatric medicine is a small field with few clinical trialists and even fewer bench or T1 translational researchers. “Geriatricized” investigators from other fields have been critical to advancing many areas of aging research and are already doing the same in the nascent field of geroscience. Joan Mannick and Nir Barzilai, two of the most prominent champions of geroscience, who are leading major studies targeting syndromes of aging with drugs modulating mechanisms of aging,6, 13 were originally trained in infectious disease and endocrinology, respectively. Training programs must be sufficiently flexible to enroll candidate investigators from a variety of backgrounds to serve a variety of roles on multidisciplinary geroscience teams.
Training Domains and Topics The competencies required for a geroscience team to perform early‐stage clinical trials fall into four broad domains (Figure 2): (1) elements standard to clinical research, (2) elements of geriatric medicine, (3) elements specific to geriatrics clinical research, and (4) elements unique to geroscience. The ideal investigator leading a multidisciplinary team will possess deep expertise in all four areas. More often, investigators will acquire sufficient expertise in several areas to work effectively with teammates who have complementary expertise to run geroscience clinical trials or to incorporate geroscience elements into their clinical trial. Figure 2 Open in figure viewer PowerPoint Translational geroscience research comprises four content domains: general clinical research, geriatric medicine, geriatric clinical research, and geroscience. Representative core competencies within each content domain are displayed. A complete list of competencies is under development. CTSA, Clinical and Translational Science Award program; IND, Investigational New Drug; PoC, Proof of Concept. The first domain consists of the standard competencies needed to perform human subject research and clinical trials. These define the curriculum of most clinical research training programs such as those supported by CTSA.14, 15 Examples of knowledge and skill elements include study designs, statistics, developing aims, writing trial protocols and Institutional Review Board applications, and team leadership. The second domain includes competencies in geriatric medicine that are not only essential to clinical care but also to the design of research studies involving older adults. These topics include geriatric syndromes, frailty, multimorbidity, polypharmacy, aging physiology, functional measures, and cognitive testing. Many of these represent the targeted conditions or key outcome measures of geroscience trials. The third domain includes clinical research competencies specific to research with older adults. Examples include recruitment of older patients, research in regulated care settings, ethical conduct of research in vulnerable populations, functional and cognitive assessment research tools, multidomain outcomes, and the management of incidental findings. Many investigators already possess expertise in the first three domains, which essentially comprise an older‐adult clinical research training curriculum. Outstanding programs exist to provide this expertise to investigators from other fields, including the NIA's Grants for Early Medical/Surgical Specialists' Transition to Aging Research (GEMSSTAR) and Butler‐Williams Scholars Programs. The fourth domain includes new competencies unique to geroscience, which few clinical investigators from any field currently possess. For investigators across the translational spectrum, this must include a working understanding of the biological mechanisms of aging that geroscience interventions are developed from and target, to inform study design, biomarkers, and outcome measures. Clinical investigators must understand the strengths, weaknesses, translational opportunities, and relevance of the preclinical models in which interventions are tested.4 Meanwhile, basic scientists require an understanding of how multimorbidity or geriatric syndromes can be modeled in preclinical systems, as well as of age‐relevant pharmacokinetic and toxicology testing in old animals. Geriatric pharmacology—how aging physiology affects drug metabolism, interactions, excretion, and efficacy—is core to both preclinical and clinical study of interventions. Finally, this is a new field with no clear regulatory template and limited industry involvement, so the first generation of investigators must be able to navigate US Food and Drug Administration Investigational New Drug (IND) applications and phase 1 trials, and be able to work collaboratively with regulatory agencies on new drug approval indications, such as multimorbidity or frailty. Across these four domains, the group identified six core competency areas: Biology of Aging, Geriatric Medicine, Clinical Research and Trials, Statistics and Epidemiology, Geriatric Pharmacology, and Regulatory/Compliance. The group is currently working to define a curriculum with specific competencies, learning objectives, learning activities, and assessment activities.
Candidates Candidates for translational geroscience training would be drawn from diverse backgrounds and career stages, and they would be trained with varying intensity to fill different roles in the research ecosystem. The workgroup determined that a key priority must be to identify and cultivate a core group of specialist translational geroscientists who will have expertise in all four content domains: clinical research, geriatric clinical research, geriatric medicine, and geroscience. Identification of candidates in medical or graduate school, or early in training, would allow the greatest use of existing training programs and funding mechanisms, reduce opportunity costs, and provide time for the deepest development of specialized expertise. Further along, established researchers might move laterally into geroscience research from geriatric clinical research, from translational research in other fields of medicine, or from basic science. Geriatricians interested in clinical research can be identified during or immediately after clinical fellowship and recruited to adopt a translational geroscience focus for their clinical research efforts. Clinical researchers in neurology, oncology, cardiology, orthopedic surgery, or many other fields, who are interested in studies of geriatric conditions in older adults, might be similarly recruited to adopt a primary geroscience focus and become champions of translational geroscience. Whatever their field of origin, this group would receive intensive training in all four content domains and would be competent to lead geroscience clinical trials as envisaged. A larger group of researchers would receive focused training in specific areas to function as part of a multidisciplinary geroscience translational team. A cardiologist, for example, might receive training in geroscience biology, then partner with others to run a heart failure trial of a geroscience intervention with geroscience secondary outcomes. Such training would not be as intensive or comprehensive as the full four‐domain curriculum envisaged above, but it could be efficiently provided from the same infrastructure to a much larger pool of researchers. An even broader pool of candidates would receive sufficient training to participate in a translation‐competent research chain spanning basic research through drug development to clinical trials and practice implementation. The basic scientists, clinical researchers, and clinicians in a translation‐competent chain share a core common knowledge base, have a familiarity with the systems on the adjacent links in the chain, and can interpret literature from adjacent links. Basic scientists with successful laboratories may not be able to make the leap to clinical research, but they would still play a critical role in the translational research chain. Basic and clinical researchers might share a common understanding of frailty and how frailty can be measured in animal models and in the clinic, and they might help adapt each other's tools and studies to facilitate translational collaborations.
Credentialing The workgroup concluded that a formal national accreditation for geroscience training would be unnecessary and counterproductive from the standpoint of creating flexible and efficient training programs. Geroscience training must also be distinct from geriatric medicine training to accommodate diverse candidate backgrounds, although curriculum elements should be shared. In time, principles of geroscience that are necessary for practice should be integrated into accreditation requirements for geriatric medicine clinical fellowship. Some form of credential or certificate for geroscience training might still be useful to early career investigators by helping to establish credibility, demonstrating competence for a grant application, and serving as a formal milestone in career development plans. Many training programs at CTSA hubs offer some form of credential or degree.16 Credentialing for geroscience research should be similarly locally defined and flexible. | {

Q:
A doubt in understanding a proof in Galois Theory
Let $K/F$ be a cyclic extension of degree $n$, and suppose that $F$ contains a primitive $n$th root of unity. If $K=F(\sqrt[n]{a})$ with $a\in F$, then any intermediate field of $K/F$ is of the form $F(\sqrt[m]{a})$ for some divisor $m$ of $n$.
In the proof of it, $\sigma$ is assumed to be the generator of $Gal(K/F)$. Then any subgroup of $Gal(K/F)$ is of the form $<\sigma^t>$ for some divisor of $n$. So the intermediate fields will be the fixed field of $\sigma^t$. If $t$ is a divisor of $n$, write $n=tm$ and let $\alpha = \sqrt[n]{a}$. Then $\sigma^t(\alpha^m)=(\omega^t\alpha)^m=\alpha^m$, so $\alpha^m$ is fixed by $\sigma^t$.
My doubt:
$\alpha^m$ is fixed by $\sigma^t \implies$ $F(\alpha^m)=F(\sqrt[t]{a})$ is the fixed field,
OR,
$\alpha^m$ is fixed by $\sigma^t \implies$ the fixed field of $\sigma^t$ has degree $m$ over $F$, so $F(\sqrt[m]{a})$ is the fixed field.
I cannot understand. Can someone please clear my doubt?
Thank you
A:
If $F$ contains a $n$-root of unity $e_n$, $
e_n^p\sqrt[n]a,p=1,2,...,n$ are roots of $X^n-a$ so $K$ is the splitting field of $X^n-a$ and is separable, so the extension is Galoisian. You can apply the fundamental theorem of the Galois theory.
An intermediate field $L$ if the set of elements fixed by $\sigma^t$ and if $n=mt$, $\sigma^t(\alpha^m)=\alpha^m$, we deduce that $\alpha^m\in L$, $[L:F]=t$ and the minimal polynomial of $\alpha^m$ is $X^t-a$. We deduce that $[F(\alpha^m):F]=t$ and $F(\alpha^m)=L$.

On “Government” (Summer 2011)
Fall 2011: Science (Volume 14 n3)
Michael Liu’s article, “The Shadow Government,” was a welcome addition to the discussion of how best to transform the building industry toward sustainability. The ever-changing world of green building requires continued discussion, re-evaluation, and evolution, from the foundations of the LEED green building rating systems that help us engage an entire industry to the AP+ credentials of the implementers.
In fact, the stakeholders participating in the discussion are what have made LEED successful. The painstaking, volunteer-driven, consensus-based process for rating-system development depends on community involvement. The verification and certification infrastructure behind this rating system certainly has a cost to maintain; however, the US Green Building Council (USGBC) is committed to reducing the cost of certification and increasing the number of certifications through initiatives like the Volume Program and LEED Automation.
Like LEED, the Accredited Professional credential was developed as a tool for market transformation. After some experience implementing a rating system in the real world, the presence of professional silos preventing the uptake of green principles became apparent. Architects, engineers, developers, code officials, and contractors had all begun to speak the same language, but they certainly weren’t fluent. Someone who could fill in the gaps and communicate across industry silos was required, hence the development of the LEED AP. Since that time, the industry has demanded greater levels of expertise in addition to familiarity with principles, and the credentialing system has grown. Like the pursuit of LEED certification itself, the use of LEED APs by project teams is completely voluntary.
As the industry evolves, the basic principles of green building design will become basic principles of all building design, requiring an evolution of not only the rating system but also the education and credentialing system. The evolution will continue until the mission is completed and every building is truly sustainable. Silly titles aside, we welcome constructive contributions to this vital discussion.
Congratulations to Michael Liu for exposing the sham called LEED [“The Shadow Government”]. If I have my facts right, it was started by a marketing director, a lawyer, and a used-car salesman (that may be hyperbole), but there is no doubt that it has grown into a feel-good, huge, money-making organization devoid, as Liu points out, of any serious supervision about claims or structure. True, the USGBC has raised awareness, but at what cost to the actual understanding of sustainability? What was not said is that the AIA should have been out in front of this issue rather than allowing sustainability to become just another commercial enterprise. Real sustainability is affordable for everyone, but LEED isn’t.

My congratulations to Michael Liu for suggesting the emperor has no clothes [“The Shadow Government”]. In my view, USGBC and LEED are a direct threat to our profession — and to our children’s survival.
Those of us at May’s AIA convention heard Thomas Friedman make that point starkly in his keynote address: Right now, we are all having a Green Party, when what is required is a Green Revolution. At parties, it’s about everyone having a good time; in revolutions, it’s about change or die. We can build all the LEED-certified buildings we want, but by itself that will do little to solve the problems — not only because 98 percent of the building stock is already here but also because it is the settlement pattern and corresponding lifestyles that require correction. This is only one of the reasons why LEED and the USGBC are actually an impediment to real solutions: Their focus is dangerously misplaced, while providing participants with a feel-good gold star for their foreheads. What worked in third grade seems a poor model for grownups to follow.
Real solutions to a “hot, flat, and crowded” world lie at a scale well beyond the parts of the building, or even the building itself. It is clear that solutions lie at the community, city, regional, and national scales: it’s about walkable cities, work/live in the same places, mass transit, higher densities. Finding those solutions likely points to firms that are integrated across disciplines, because solutions are going to be systems-level solutions.
If architects are to remain viable as independent professionals, that is the path that is required to stay ahead of the curve. Without this understanding, architects will simply become a small design cog in a large systems wheel. The bigger vision will be lost, and the course steered will fall to the likes of the USGBC and their unfortunate self-serving bureaucracy. I’d like to see architects at the helm on this one, as we have already given away too many parts of our profession.
In closing, I urge ArchitectureBoston to adopt a formal policy to stop printing the LEED letters after architects’ names. As licensed professionals, placing LEED after one’s name is a tacit admission that you once did not know how to score points, but now you do. Why is that a credential worthy of our profession?
Although ArchitectureBoston’s “Government Issue” was both timely and thoughtful, I read with consternation Chris Walsh’s characterization of Massachusetts’ affordable-housing zoning law, Chapter 40B. To begin, Walsh fails to mention that in the November 2010 election there was a referendum question on 40B, and Massachusetts voters decided to continue
the program.
Although it is true that 51 communities have exceeded their 10 percent threshold, which Walsh asserts as evidence of the program’s failure, it is also true that, at present, 117 municipalities only need to produce or preserve fewer than 100 units to reach the 10 percent threshold. Walsh alleges that the 40B program eats up open space. This does not reflect the reality of Massachusetts land use in which large-lot zoning is probably the most important determinant of housing development, and particularly so when coupled with Title V and the Wetland Protection Act, neither of which is suspended in determining site acceptability. In fact, increasing housing density under 40B is actually more land efficient. Further, the expiration date of low-income use requirements referred to applies to subsidy or financing programs and does not apply to Chapter 40B developments that are held in perpetuity through zoning.
Citing the Columbia Point development as a failed large urban housing project neglects its complicated history as Boston’s largest public housing development, the lurches and retreats of federal housing policy, the geographic isolation of the development, its history as a dump, and its miraculous conversion in 1984 into the mixed-income Harbor Point development.
Walsh’s critique may make for good sound bites on the campaign trail, but the inaccuracies of his examples and general lack of understanding of the history and context of affordable housing sadly misrepresent reality, to the detriment of your readers and those they may influence.
Diane Georgopulos FAIA
Cambridge, Massachusetts Ms. Georgopulos has worked for 25 years as an architect for MassHousing, the state’s affordable housing finance agency.
I opened ArchitectureBoston’s “Government Issue” with great anticipation but found little within to be upbeat about. From the editor’s opening observation that 69 percent of respondents in a recent student survey believe that community service is honorable while almost no architects serve in elected office, it seems obvious that there is a world of difference between advocating for good design in the public realm and actually serving in public office, unfortunately exemplified by the recent conviction of yet
another Massachusetts State House leader.
At a time when popular opinion is running against “big government,” our failure to maintain bridges, build a successful public education system, invest in smart growth, or even provide adequate healthcare to all is a failure of political leadership, not government, be it big or small. In a society driven by sound bites and devoid of critical thinking, it is easy to conflate government with politics. But contrary to what we hear, government at all levels is filled with many smart, talented, and even idealistic people who want to be challenged to do the right thing, as James Kostaras notes in “What I Learned.”
If, as Vernon Woodworth tells us in “Notes From the Suggestion Box,” technology will soon allow us to model performance and regulatory metrics of all sorts, we need political leadership with a compelling vision for this future. And with political vision should come a commitment to honest and timely assessment of government programs.
Idealistic? Yes. Unrealistic? No. But as long as we keep seeing the “problem” as government and fail to demand political vision and leadership, and as long as the electorate is titillated by elk-shooting, combed-over candidates, and not challenging government to be all that it can be, there is no purpose for architects to seek public office. | {

NO. 07-08-0291-CV
IN THE COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE SEVENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
AT AMARILLO
PANEL D
SEPTEMBER 24, 2009
______________________________
NICHOLAS FARHOOD, a/k/a NICK FARHOOD,
individually and d/b/a CAMEO CUSTOM HOMES,
Appellant
v.
KEVIN CLEMENTS,
Appellee
_________________________________
FROM THE 393rd DISTRICT COURT OF DENTON COUNTY;
NO. 2007-60155-393; HON. VICKI ISAACKS, PRESIDING
_______________________________
Memorandum Opinion
_______________________________
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.
Pending before the court is an appeal by Nicholas Farhood, individually and doing
business as Cameo Custom Homes, from a summary judgment awarding Kevin Clements
$251,757.98 against Farhood. The dispute between the two litigants arose from a
construction contract under which Farhood agreed to build a home for Clements. They
executed a contract specifying the construction price to be $750,000. According to
Clements, Farhood demanded other monies in excess of that sum to complete the work,
contrary to the terms of their agreement. Farhood purportedly demanded the additional
sums to cover deviations from the contract as requested by Clements. The dispute
resulted in Clements suing Farhood under various causes of action and seeking a partial
summary judgment. The trial court granted the aforementioned summary judgment and
severed the claims encompassed by the decree from those necessitating further
adjudication. We reverse the judgment and remand the cause.
The motion for summary judgment filed with the court was rather global and vague.
Yet, it is clear that Clements sought to recover the difference between what he allegedly
thought the actual contract price was ($750,000) and the amount he actually paid. Yet, in
the attachments to his motion, he included a document entitled “Change Order
Confirmation Agreement.”
Per that item, the signatories, which included Farhood and
Clements, alluded to “certain alterations and extras in the improvements contemplated by”
a mechanics lien contract involving the construction at issue.
So too did the parties
represent, via the document, that “the extra work done and materials furnished as a result
of said alterations cost $90,000, which sum is a part of the Contract Price secured by said”
mechanics lien contract. Elsewhere in the same writing, the parties stated that the
“Contract Price stated in and secured by [the lien contract] has increased from $192,000
to $292,500 . . . .” Other attachments to the motion indicate that the mechanics lien
contract for $292,500 constituted a lien second to a $900,000 first lien. Finally, the total
loan amount obtained by Clements apparently exceeded $1,192,000.
Authority obligates us to construe the summary judgment evidence in a light most
favorable to the non-movant, i.e. Farhood. Johnson County Sheriff's Posse Inc. v.
Endsley, 926 S.W.2d 284, 285 (Tex.1996) (holding that summary judgment evidence must
be construed in favor of the non-movant). And, in so construing the evidence appended
by Clements to his motion, we hold that there exists a material issue of fact regarding the
price that he contractually agreed to pay for the construction of his house. Simply put, he
said it was only $750,000. Yet, other evidence reveals that he secured a loan for over
$1,192,000, and signed a “Change Order Confirmation Agreement” increasing his financial
obligation by an additional $292,500. Given the material issue of fact regarding the extent
of Clements’ obligation, he was not entitled, as a matter of law, to recover $251,757.98
from Farhood. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 166a(c) (permitting entry of a summary judgment when
the movant is entitled to it as a matter of law).
Accordingly, we reverse the summary judgment and remand the cause for further
proceedings.

Tesla Wednesday filed in the United States a lawsuit against its former employee Cao Guangzhi for stealing its Autopilot related trade secrets before joining Alibaba-backed Chinese EV maker Xiaopeng M
Tesla Wednesday filed in the United States a lawsuit against its former employee Cao Guangzhi for stealing its Autopilot related trade secrets before joining Alibaba-backed Chinese EV maker Xiaopeng Motors earlier this year, The Verge reported.
Tesla alleges that Cao, before telling the company he’s quitting on January 3rd, had started copying more than 300,000 Autopilot related files and directories to his iCloud account and later on logged into the company’s intranet to clear his browsing history.
Xiaopeng Motors, or XPeng, which was set up in 2014 in Guangzhou, the capital city of China’s southern Guangdong province, told The Verge Thursday in a statement that the company is not aware of any alleged misconducts by Cao, adding that an internal investigation into this case has also started.
And Tesla isn’t the only company entangled in such trade secret theft disputes of late. Apple also sued its former employees, including two Chinese nationals, for alleged similar conducts. One of the charged later joined XPeng, although XPeng later on denied receiving such an application.
Xiaopeng on December 12th launched G3, its first-ever electric vehicle with L2.5 autonomous driving capabilities, including autonomous parking and set pre-subsidy prices between RMB 227,800 (US$34,024) and 257800 (US$38,505). The model received more than 10,000 orders in two weeks after its debut, announced He Xiaopeng, founder of the company. | {

Q:
Should I, for any reason, allow a Super Admin to see the users' password through the UI?
Currently I am developing an application with 3 roles: 1 for customers, 1 for the company employees and another one for a Super Admin.
Is it a good practice to allow Super Admin users to see/edit the users' passwords through the UI? Or should it only be modified directly through the DB?
UPDATE: I am using asp.net membership provider and MySQL. Therefore, there is a table in the DB called my_aspnet_membership which stores two fields: Password and PasswordKey. The field PasswordKey seems to be the encrypted password. However, the Password field is stored in plain text. So, can anyone tell me why this is designed in this way if it is not a good practice? Thank you all for your responses!
UPDATE: For those who asked if it really stores the password in two different fields:
A:
Your password should not be stored un encrypted inside your database and as such, shouldn't be visible to users of the UI nor the database.
As for whether it should be modifyable, sure.
In this case the password should be re-generated through user or administrator request. Again, this should be encrypted in the database. My preference would be to auto generate the new password for the user rather than have an administrator type it themselves.
Given this, the only way to change the password directly in the database would be to encrypt it first before insertion. It's quicker to do this through an UI that deals with the encrypting.
UPDATE
In answer to your update, you should specify in your web.config that the password format be hashed:
<providers>
<add [...]
passwordFormat="Hashed"
/>
</providers>
as outlined here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff648345.aspx
A:
No user should be allowed to see the Plaintext password of any other user whatsoever. The password must be encrypted atleast if not hashed even in the database.
You MAY allow the super admin to change any user's password, but allowing him to see it in plaintext is taboo.
EDIT: Are you absolutely certain the password field stores the password in plaintext, while there exists another passwordkey field? Because, it sounds similar to a 'salt' mechanism to me. Where, the password is first encrypted with one key, and then re-encrypted with the passwordkey field.
EDIT 2: I am now almost absolutely certain that your database is using a salted password. Salted passwords are often used to increase the security level of the database. For more information on salt, check this.

Muhammad Shah of Brunei
Muhammad Shah (born Awang Alak Betatar) established the Sultanate of Brunei and was its first sultan, possibly from 1363 to 1402. The genealogy of Muhammad Shah is unclear, and is based on several historical sources and legends.
Life
The early life of Muhammad Shah is unknown. The current Sultanate of Brunei was formed by Muhammad Shah, with the help of his brothers Awang Pateh Berbai (also known as Ahmad of Brunei, the third Sultan of Brunei) and Awang Semaun. He ruled from 1368 to his death in 1402. He ruled as Raja Awang Alak Betatar until the early 1360s, at which point he converted to Islam to marry the daughter of the King of Temasik (Old Singapore, known as that time in Brunei as Johor).
Muhammad Shah died in 1402, and was succeeded by Sultan Abdul Majid Hassan.
It is unclear whom Muhammad Shah married, but it is reported either as the daughter of Iskandar Shah, or the daughter of Sang Nila Utama, both of the House of Sang Sapurba.
It was noted that Muhammad Shah created the Sultanate. He sent a mission to China in 1371; the Ming Shih (Book 325), a contemporaneous Chinese reference book, noted that the King of Brunei in 1370 was Ma-ho-mo-sa. Local Brunei historians take this to refer to "Muhammad Shah" the first Islamic Sultan of Brunei, however others take it to read as "Mahmud Shah". Another viewpoint is that Ma-ho-mo-sa could be pronounced as "Maha Moksha", which means Great Eternity, a Buddhist name; this is in keeping by the Chinese record of his successor also having a Buddhist name.
His daughter, Princess Ratna Dewi, allegedly married a Chinese immigrant by the name of Ong Sum Ping also named Ong Sum Ping who started a trading station at Mumiang on the Kinabatangan River. For this he was conferred the nobility title of Pengiran Maharaja Lela and elected Chief of Kinabatangan.
There is evidence that there was an Islamic presence in the current area of Brunei before the current Sultanate - there is evidence that there was also a pre-existing Muslim dynasty in the area.

Maxillary expansion in an animal model with light, continuous force.
Maxillary constriction is routinely addressed with rapid maxillary expansion (RME). However, the heavy forces delivered by most RME appliances to expand the palate may lead to deleterious effects on the teeth and supporting tissues. The objective of this study was to explore a more physiologic maxillary expansion with light continuous force. Twenty 6-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were equally divided into experimental (EXPT) and control (CTRL) groups. A custom-fabricated archwire expansion appliance made from 0.014-inch copper-nickel-titanium wire was activated 5 mm and bonded to the maxillary molar segments of animals in the EXPT group for 21 days. The force applied to each maxillary segment was 5 cN. Microfocus x-ray computed tomography and histological analyses were used to compare the tooth movement and bone morphology in the midpalatal suture and buccal aspect of the alveolar process between the EXPT and CTRL groups. Descriptive statistics (mean ± standard error of the mean) and nonparametric statistical tests were used to compare the outcomes across groups. Compared to the CTRL group, there was a statistically significant increase in buccal tooth movement and expansion of the midpalatal suture in the EXPT group. There was no difference in the bone morphologic parameters between groups. The mineral apposition rate was increased on the buccal surface of the alveolar process in the EXPT group. Application of light, continuous force resulted in maxillary osseous expansion due to bilateral sutural apposition and buccal drift of the alveolar processes. This animal experiment provides a more physiologic basis for maxillary expansion. | {

Q:
UISlider glitch shows two thumbs?
A UISlider in my app sometimes shows a second thumb after it is dragged. This is completely unintentional and unwanted. I've done some searching and can't find any other references to this phenomenon. Can anyone figure out why this is happening? Is this a bug?
Two thumb slider:
This code is executed when a "show options" button is pressed:
readAndApplySettings() //This sets GameSpeed from a file
var SpeedSlider = UISlider()
SpeedSlider.minimumValue = 1
SpeedSlider.maximumValue = 20
SpeedSlider.setValue(Float(21 - GameState.GameSpeed), animated: true)
SpeedSlider.continuous = true
SpeedSlider.addTarget(self, action: "SpeedSliderValueDidChange:", forControlEvents: .ValueChanged)
// Code setting frame and location omitted
OptionsLabelButton.addSubview(SpeedSlider)
This is the ValueDidChange code:
func SpeedSliderValueDidChange(sender:UISlider) {
GameState.GameSpeed = Int(21 - sender.value)
TimerInterval = Double(GameState.GameSpeed) * 0.0167
tempSpeedLabel.text = "Speed: \(21 - GameState.GameSpeed)"
}
A:
Looks like you have created multiple UISliders, double check you are not calling your function twice. As well, if you are using storyboard to create the UISliders. Make sure you do not have two sliders on top of each other.

Philip Fong, AFP | Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters (C) crowd the area in front of the departure gates to block access during another demonstration at Hong Kong's international airport on August 13, 2019.
Flights leaving Hong Kong's airport were disrupted for a second day as protesters staged new rallies on Tuesday, hours after the territory’s embattled leader warned them against heading down “a path of no return”.

The airport's arrival and departure halls were blocked by thousands of protesters who were gathered in the hub for the fifth consecutive day to press their calls for democratic reforms and an independent inquiry into alleged police brutality.
The airport authority announced that check-in services for departing flights were suspended but that it did not expect arriving flights to be affected.
Some flights were able to depart and land earlier on Tuesday, a day after more than 200 flights were cancelled.
Police use pepper spray in scuffles with protesters at Hong Kong airport
The new gathering came as Beijing sent more ominous signals that the 10 weeks of unrest must end, with state-run media showing videos of security forces gathering across the border.
The crisis, which has seen millions of people take to Hong Kong's streets, has become the biggest challenge to Chinese rule of the semi-autonomous city since its 1997 handover from Britain.
Hong Kong's pro-Beijing leader, Carrie Lam, gave an at-times emotional press conference on Tuesday morning in which she warned of dangerous consequences if escalating violence was not curbed.
‘Path of no return’
"Violence, no matter if it's using violence or condoning violence, will push Hong Kong down a path of no return, will plunge Hong Kong society into a very worrying and dangerous situation," Lam said.
"The situation in Hong Kong in the past week has made me very worried that we have reached this dangerous situation."
Lam, who faced fierce questioning from local reporters and at one point appeared to be on the verge of tears, appealed for calm.
"Take a minute to think, look at our city, our home, do you all really want to see it pushed into an abyss," Lam said, although she again refused to make any concessions to the protesters.
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet urged Hong Kong on Tuesday to exercise restraint and conduct an impartial investigation into the actions of police forces, adding they are using "less-lethal weapons in ways that are prohibited by international norms and standards".
The Hong Kong authorities should engage in meaningful dialogue with protesters to restore public security, Bachelet said in her statement, while welcoming Lam’s pledge to listen to the protesters’ grievances.
Hong Kong's business credibility has already been damaged, says professor Jean-Pierre Cabestan
Airport chaos
On Monday thousands of protesters filled Hong Kong's airport to denounce what they said were violent tactics by police in trying to quell weekend rallies.
Hundreds of protesters, dressed in signature black T-shirts, then began flowing into the airport again on Tuesday afternoon, threatening further disruptions.
They chanted: "stand with Hong Kong, stand for freedom," as passengers scrambling to catch rescheduled and delayed flights wheeled their luggage through the airport.
Protesters had also put up posters and daubed graffiti that included the term "an eye for an eye".
This was in reference to a serious facial injury that reportedly caused a woman to lose the vision in one eye at a demonstration that turned violent on Sunday night.
The demonstrators accused police of causing the injury by firing a bean-bag round.
The disruptions caused headaches for travellers, but many said they sympathised with the protesters.
"The protesters are the loveliest people in the world," said Pete Knox, a 65-year-old Brit on his way to Vietnam.
"I understand the basics of the protest and they've got a point: it's about freedom and democracy and it's incredibly important."
'Mobsters'
The protests began in opposition to a bill that would have allowed extraditions to the mainland, but quickly evolved into a broader bid to reverse a slide of rights and freedoms in the southern Chinese city.
Authorities in Beijing on Monday slammed violent protesters who threw petrol bombs at police officers, linking them to "terrorism".
On Tuesday state media upped the ante, calling protesters "mobsters", warning they must never be appeased and raising the spectre of mainland security forces intervening to quash them.
The official state news agency Xinhua warned in a commentary Tuesday that "violent radicals" were pushing Hong Kong into an "abyss".
In a video posted on its Weibo channel, a CCTV anchor warned viewers: "When dealing with terrorism, there is no soft hand."
The stern words came as videos were promoted by state media of Chinese military and armoured vehicles appearing to gather in the southern city of Shenzhen, which borders Hong Kong.
A senior US administration official on Monday urged "all sides" to avoid violence.
"Societies are best served when diverse political views are respected and can be freely and peacefully expressed," the official said on condition of anonymity.

Antelope Valley Indian Museum State Historic Park
The Antelope Valley Indian Museum State Historic Park is a state historic park of California, USA, interpreting Native American cultures of the Great Basin and surrounding regions. The park and its grounds are situated on the Antelope Valley's rural east side in northern Los Angeles County, California.
The museum contains the combined collections of H. Arden Edwards and subsequent owner and anthropology student Grace Oliver. The exhibits represent and interpret Native Americans groups, both aboriginal and contemporary, of the Southwest, Great Basin, and Californian cultural regions. A number of the artifacts on display are rare or one-of-a-kind items.
The museum was originally constructed by homesteader/artist H. Arden Edwards in 1928. The chalet-style structure was built over the rock formation of Piute Butte in the Mojave Desert. The unusual folk art structure, originally used as a home, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Demonstrations and special events
Joshua Cottage features a "touch table" room where visitors can experience food grinding and processing techniques, or learn how earlier Native Americans started fires using sticks or bow drills.
Outside the museum is a self-guided nature trail, a picnic area, and an outdoor ceremonial arena. Occasionally guest Native American groups perform traditional dances and other programs. An annual opening event each fall features a traditional ground blessing ceremony. There are also Native American artists demonstrating and selling their work, Native American food, and special activities for children. The museum also sponsors periodic educational seminars.

" Breakfast at Tiffany's, Armani, Klein, Karan..." " What?" "Are you on drugs?" "Honey, they need it to look like trash so their ten-page frigging ads in greys and beiges look like class."

"We'll see you at The Boulevard later!" "I love old cheesecloth!" "That's Nicole Farhi." "Could you put..." "Hi." "Josh, Tim and I are going down the pub." "Well done!"

" Can you feel it filling your empty hole?" " Yes." "The pulsations!" "I'm sorry, but I don't think this is quite what I'm looking for." "I didn't spend my youth burning my bra so that I could squat saggy-titted over a forest loo hole waiting for the sun to come up while the men go off hunting down the pub." "I'm sorry." "Let me dance the Shiva healing dance!" "I just don't think that the sort of person that I want to find in me is the kind of person who likes making corn-buggery-dollies in the sacred body workshop." "Look!" "The Shree Baghwan Risha sandal." "Let us worship it." "For God's sake!" "Let me just kill the whales!" "Have you ever smoked grass or, you know, that other stuff?" "Hash?" "No." "Well, then." "How can you know it's wrong?" "I don't smoke because I tried it once and I think I'm allergic or..." "Anyway, it didn't really do anything for me." "I didn't notice the difference." " It makes people really boring." " Yeah." "You think you're being really funny or clever, but you're just being incredibly dull." "Who needs drugs to do that?" "When I say something really funny or clever, I like to remember it the next day." "For heaven's sake!" "Your roach is too tight and your paper is too loose!" "Give it to me." "Pass me some card." "Collectors' thimble collection..." "CH0326." "Now, I'm just getting a message here." "Would a Mrs Monsoon, who phoned in a couple of hours ago, and who I had such a lovely time talking to..."

"Do you, Mitchell Friedman, take Bo Mo Chrysalis to be your lawfully wedded wife?" " Wi-wife?" "!" " No!" "Out of my way, I'm a trained nurse!" "Turn over!" " Go ahead, he's all right!" " Do you, Mitchell Friedman to be your lawfully wedded wife?" " I do!" "Hurry up, I'm losing him!" "By the power invested in me by the State of New York, I pronounce you husband and wife!" "Yes!" " You may now kiss the bride." " Not on your life!" "Honey, he's all yours, but I wasn't getting a pulse!" "Chrysalis, you married the richest man in New York." "What are you going to do now?" "I'm going to Disneyland!" "The Secret Feather." "It's for you." "Great." "London Bridge..." "Grass..." "All different sorts of grass." "Little teasers." "These..." "A little better." "There, there!" "I knew she would be there." "Pats, Pats!" "Eddie?" "Yeah, babe!" " Come on!" "Stoli, babe!" " Can I have a Stoli?" " I've got a bottle!" " I got bored!" "I'll meet you down there." "Get me from here!" "I can't find the stairs!" "Come on, Ed." "You can land just here!" "Come on, sweetie!" "It's quite easy!" "Can we land on that building?" "We can't land on your roof!" "Good to see you!" "Let's go home!" " Cheers." " Cheers." "It's quite like the old times, Ed." "It has only been three days, actually." "Has it?" "It felt like..." " Well, cheers." " Cheers." "I should..." " I didn't mean to drag you back." " You didn't drag me back, no." " From New York." " Yeah, New York!" "Yeah..." " Fantastic shopping." " Yeah, it was fantastic." "I was not taking them!" "I'm entitled to a discount!" "I'm Patsy Stone!" "Yeah, and all that fabulous fun you must have been having." " Oh, yeah." "It was fabulous!" " Yeah?" "Yeah, it was fantastic." " Yeah..." " Yeah..." "There's something I meant to say on the plane, but I was too drunk, obviously, and it's just that..." "I was passing, you know." "I was just in New York, passing." " I didn't mean to drag you back." " You didn't." "I know that you didn't drag me back." "I was thinking of leaving anyway." " Were you?" " Because I..." " What?" " The job wasn't up to much." "Yeah..." " Anyway, cheers." " Cheers." "Thanks a lot." "Yeah, you're welcome." " Actually..." " Actually..." " Hello, darling." " Mum." "I didn't expect to see you here." "Well, yeah..." "I didn't expect to see you, either." "Darling." " Found yourself, then?" " Ta-daa!" "Yeah, it was fabulous." "I only needed those few days, feeling part of something with my sort of people." "No, no, no!" "I can't breathe your second-hand air like that." "I'm sorry." "Being with people I could really relate to." "Are those eyes, are they?" "Are those your eyes?" "Are they?" "Gosh, you must be bored!" "I'm bored!" "Anyway, how could I expect to find Nirvana?" "They couldn't even find decent furniture!" "If you want to talk bollocks and find the meaning of life, you're better off downing a bottle of whisky." "At least that way you're unconscious by the time you start to take yourself seriously." "Mother Nature is no fool." "Phew!" "Hoover-vacuum's broken!" "How did that happen?" "It fell out of a window when I was doing sills." "Look at this, darling!" "I couldn't get out of her contract." "Luckily, it was non-specific." " That's what they said at the tribunal." " Yes, thank you for that!" "The police phoned." "They've released your mother." "Oh, damn!" "Good though, ain't it?" "They haven't had a record out for years." "Sweetie!" "Stop looking at me like that!" "Darling, squatting is against the law." "She changed the locks and was using my credit card." "She's lucky not to have been sent down." "Ashtray, ashtray!" "Go on!" "Quick, ashtray!" "Thank you." " Yoo-hoo!" " How did she get in?" "How did she do that?" "Oh..." "Released, then?" " Yes, dear, but I'm tagged." " Oh." "Don't sit here." "Go and sit over there." "I have to report once a week for a cup of tea with my social worker, Mandy, and I gave her your number at university, dear." "Just in case she wants to contact you if I go missing." "Could you get those cheesy balls from the cupboard behind you?" " Why don't you get them?" " Because YOU'RE here." "I know that my childhood has been a convenient form of legalised slavery, but I'm over 18 now." "Do you understand?" "Actually, not the cheesy balls." "The japanese seaweed twiglets." " Open them!" " No!" "This is not how it's going to be any more, Mum!" "I'm not going to be here just to put you to bed, to feed you, stub out your joints, clear out the sick, lie for you, disapprove of you..." "And not just you." "You as well!" "Cesspit from hell!" "Stinking bag of bones that haunts this house every day like a mouldering cadaver, leeching the lifeblood out of everything it can get its filthy suckers onto!" "I'm fed up being suckered!" "I won't take this any more!" "This is not how it's going to be!" " Good morning, dears." " Good morning, Gran." " Is Tom up yet?" " I looked in on him and he was unconscious." "I think he was smoking last night." "Easy, Gran." " Oh, no!" " Oh, no!" " Saff, darling!" " Oh, dear." "You said they weren't going to be allowed in our kitchen any more." "What do you want?" "We'll have breakfast with you this morning." "Patsy dropped the keys to our bed in Soho last night." "I'll have dry toast." "It's all my teeth manages." "Use Patsy's." "Isn't it that doggie that sticks its nose up your crotch?" " Get out!" " Pity." "Yeah, have the packet." " Want some of those?" " No, no one's taking them any more." "I like him." "You can't be here today." "Use your own place." " What?" " Victoria, can you get the spare keys, please?" " What?" " They can't be here when Dad comes." "He'll leave." " I know." " Is that bastard coming back?" "I might hang around." "It's the only bloodsport they haven't banned." " No!" " What?" " Didn't I leave a bottle of voddy here?" " No." "Can I have one?" "Careful, darling." "You don't want another overflow situation." "Check your colostomy bag." "We had to skid our way out of the Rhumba Go Go Club last night." "Torville and Dean!" "I'll be the judge of that!" "Here you are." "Now, go!" " What?" " The jailer has brought her keys." " Move." " What?" "WE'VE GOT TO GO, DARLING." "See you later." "Come on." " Are you still with us?" " Yes." "Mum, I'll do the house." "Why don't you go to the hairdresser's before Dad arrives?" "No, it's all right." "Oh!" "Oh, dear!" "I've forgotten my specs." "I won't be long." " Not dead yet?" " No, not dead yet." ""B", is it?" "Still, not a bad life, darling." "No, not a bad life." | {

Chicago to upgrade rail system's wireless network
The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) plans to upgrade the wireless communication network in its subways and underground facilities to increase the speed and reliability of its network, with the goal of ensuring that customers of all major wireless carriers will have continuous mobile phone service underground in all CTA subway tunnels.
As a first step, the CTA issued a Request for Information (RFI) bid to solicit responses from wireless telecommunication companies to determine the feasibility of designing, financing, installing, operating and maintaining a modern cellular infrastructure system in the 11.4 miles of CTA’s Red and Blue line tunnels and underground facilities.
“To be a world-class city, Chicago must have a world-class infrastructure, so that people can get around the city efficiently, safely, and productively,” said Mayor Rahm Emanuel. “CTA is investing in all aspects of its infrastructure, from rails to stations to wireless access and as the quality of the service continues to improve, I am confident more and more passengers will use the system to get to work and school and enjoy their lives.”
The four-week RFI bid is intended to gather information through an interactive and collaborative process with interested parties, which will help CTA determine the estimated project budget, requirements and timeline for implementation. This information will form the basis of the official Request for Proposals (RFP), which will be issued at a later date. CTA will ultimately seek a neutral-host partner that can serve all wireless carriers. The goal of both the RFI and the RFP will be to find a partner that can provide CTA customers with uninterrupted wireless service.
Under the proposed project, CTA would ultimately own the new network; however, respondents would be solely responsible for funding their proposed projects. In addition to building and operating a vendor neutral-host network — which will allow any wireless service provider to operate on the system — the selected vendor will also be responsible for managing and negotiating third-party license agreements with major wireless service providers. Fees generated from the third-party licenses would be split with the managing vendor and CTA.
The CTA currently owns and leases its subway cellular network to six major wireless service providers, which generates approximately $1.8 million in non-farebox revenue for the agency annually. | {

Q:
Unable to modify LD_CONFIG_PATH from script
I'm trying to write a script that adds some path to LD_CONFIG_PATH in order to not get "blabla.so not found". The problem is that my script is able to modify its own context (via export) but it doesn't affect other shells. I want to set the a variable globally so it persists between reboots and shells.
My current script looks like:
LDPATH='/opt/mqm/lib64'
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LDPATH:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
ldconfig
which I run like
sudo ./set_my_ld_path.sh
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
And it returns nothing (LD_LIBRARY_PATH is empty).
I also tried
LDPATH='/opt/mqm/lib64' env
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LDPATH:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
ldconfig
but it only writes all my existing variables such as PATH/LANG/HOME/LC_TIME/...
For example, I can run following script in powershell and it does what I'd like to have here:
# setting an environment variable for current and descendant processes, same as bash `export`
$env:OPENCV_DIR = $OPENCV_DIR
# applying it machine-wide, persists between users/shells/reboots
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("OPENCV_DIR", $env:OPENCV_DIR, [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)
How could it be done?
A:
First of all, assignments can not have spaces around the =.
Secondly, you can never affect the current environment from a child process (a script).
To run a script that sets an environment variable, and have that change affect the current environment, you will need to source the script using either . (dot), or source in bash.
You may also not source a script through sudo (it's unclear why you are using sudo at all in this case).
This means that you can have a script file like this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/mqm/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
which you then source using either
. ./file
or
source ./file
Setting (and exporting) the variable in your shell startup file for interactive shells (~/.bashrc if you use bash), would set it "globally" (for all processes started from the shell).

Common mudpuppy
The common mudpuppy (Necturus maculosus) is a species of salamander in the genus Necturus. They live an entirely aquatic lifestyle in the eastern part of North America in lakes, rivers, and ponds. They go through paedomorphosis and retain their external gills. Because skin and lung respiration alone is not sufficient for gas exchange, mudpuppies must rely on external gills as their primary means of gas exchange. They are usually a rusty brown color and can grow to an average length of . Mudpuppies are nocturnal creatures, and come out during the day only if the water in which they live is murky. Their diet consists of almost anything they can get in their mouths, including insects, mollusks, and earthworms (as well as other annelids). Once a female mudpuppy reaches sexual maturity at six years of age, she can lay an average of 60 eggs. In the wild, the average lifespan of a mudpuppy is 11 years.
Appearance
Mudpuppies are small and can be compared to the size of a lizard. Mudpuppies can be a rusty brown color with gray and black and usually have blackish-blue spots, but some albino adults have been reported in Arkansas. In clear, light water, their skin gets darker, likewise in darker water, their skin gets lighter in color. At sexual maturity, mudpuppies can be long and continue to grow to an average length of , though specimens up to have been reported. Their external gills resemble ostrich plumes and their size depends on the oxygen levels present in the water. In stagnant water, mudpuppies have larger gills, whereas in running streams where oxygen is more prevalent, they have smaller gills. The distal portions of the gills are very filamentous and contain many capillaries. Mudpuppies also have small, flattened limbs which can be used for slowly walking on the bottoms of streams or ponds, or they can be flattened against the body during short swimming spurts. They have mucous glands which provide a slimy protective coating, and granular glands that secrete poison used as defense against predators.
Neoteny
Mudpuppies are one of many species of salamanders that fail to undergo metamorphosis. Most hypotheses surrounding the origin of Necturus's lack of metamorphosis concern the effectiveness of the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland in some salamanders, like the axolotl, produce normal thyroid hormones (THs), but cells in the organism express thyroid hormone receptors (TR) that are mutated, and do not bond correctly with thyroid hormones, leading to some salamanders in a state of perpetual juvenile-hood. In contrast to Axolotls, in mudpuppies, these THs are normally expressed. However, it is believed that instead of having TH-insensitive tissues that block the effects of THs, some mudpuppy tissues, such as the external gills, have lost the ability to be regulated by TH over time. This selective insensitivity to THs suggests a normal level of activity in the hypothalamo-pituitary-thyroid axis in developing mudpuppies, unlike other salamander species.
The common mudpuppy also does not have a parathyroid gland. The majority of salamanders with parathyroid glands rely on them to help with hypercalcemic regulation; hypercalcemic regulation in mudpuppies is primarily done by the Pituitary gland instead. In common mudpuppies, the purpose of the absence of a parathyroid gland is poorly understood. One reason for the absence might be the lack of variability in the climate of mudpuppies, as the parathyroid glands of salamanders vary greatly depending on seasonal changes, or whether the organism hibernates.
Distribution
N. maculosus specimens live in streams, lakes, and ponds in the eastern part of North America. They appear in the southern section of Canada, as far south as Georgia, and from the Midwest United States to North Carolina. In the more northern sections, they are called mudpuppies, and in the southern portions, they are called waterdogs. The mudpuppy hides under cover such as rocks and logs during the day and becomes more active at night. However, in muddy waters, the mudpuppy may become active during the day. Mudpuppies can even live under the ice when lakes freeze.
Diet
Mudpuppies use rows of teeth to eat their prey. Salamanders have three different sets of teeth: dentary, premaxillary, and vomerine teeth, which are named due to their location in the mouth. All the teeth, despite their different locations, are very similar. They are small and conical, meaning mudpuppies are homodonts due to their similar shape. The common mudpuppy never leaves its aquatic environment and therefore does not undergo morphogenesis, however many salamanders do and develop differentiated teeth. Aquatic salamander teeth are used to hinder escape of the prey from the salamander, they do not have a crushing function. This aids the salamander when feeding. When the salamander undergoes the "suck and gape" feeding style, the prey is pulled into the mouth, and the teeth function to hold the prey inside the mouth and prevent the prey from escaping. At both sides of their mouths their lips interlock, which allows them to use suction feeding. They are carnivorous creatures and will eat almost anything they can get into their mouths. Typically they prey upon animals such as insects, mollusks, annelids, small fish, amphibians, earthworms, and spiders. The jaw of a mudpuppy also plays a significant role in its diet. The mudpuppy jaw is considered metaautostyly, like most amphibians, meaning the jaw is more stable and that the salamander has a dentary. This affects their diet by limiting the flexibility of the jaw to take in larger prey. The mudpuppy has few predators but may include fish, crayfish, turtles, and water snakes. Because fishermen frequently catch and discard them, humans are considered to be one of their main predators.
Reproduction
Mudpuppies take six years to reach sexual maturity. Mating typically takes place in autumn, though eggs are not laid till much later. When males are ready to breed, their cloacae become swollen. Males deposit their spermatophores in the substratum of the environment. The female will then pick them up with her cloaca and store them in a small specialized gland, a spermatheca, until the eggs are fertilized. Females store the sperm until ovulation and internal fertilization take place, usually just prior to deposition in the spring. Before the eggs are deposited, male mudpuppies leave the nest. Once ready, the female deposits the eggs in a safe location, usually on the underside of a rock or log. They can lay from 20–200 eggs, usually an average of 60. The eggs are not pigmented and are about 5–6 mm in diameter. The female stays with her eggs during the incubation period (around 40 days). Hatchlings are about 2.5 cm long and grow to 3.6 cm before the yolk is completely consumed.

Memorial Day 150th Observance
The tradition of honoring the nation's fallen soldiers traces back to the time after the Civil War. Communities would visit the graves of the fallen, decorating them with flowers and remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The first Memorial Day in the northern states, also known as Decoration Day, was held on May 30, 1868. The tradition continued each year on May 30th, and ceremonies were eventually held in cities and towns in every state.
May, 2018 marks the 150th anniversary of Memorial Day. Tremont City has held ceremonies since the inaugural year and hosts the 2nd-longest running parade in Ohio.

Q:
Jquery datepicker : Selecting the value for second datepicker based on first date picker
First date picker
<div class="input-group date " data-provide="datepicker">
<input type="text" name="date1" class="form-control datepicker1" placeholder="Select pick up date">
</div>
Second datepicker
<div class="input-group date" data-provide="datepicker">
<input type="text" name="date2" class="form-control datepicker2" placeholder="Select delivery date">

There are two date pickers. The value of the second date picker is based on the first one. If the user chooses today's date on first date picker then the date picker 2 will only allow choosing date starting from tomorrow.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.datepicker1').datepicker( {
format: 'dd-mm-yyyy',
startDate:'+0d',
autoclose: true,
onSelect: function(date){
var date1 = $('.datepicker1').datepicker('getDate');
var date = new Date( Date.parse( date1 ) );
date.setDate( date.getDate() + 1 );
var newDate = date.toDateString();
newDate = new Date( Date.parse( newDate ) );
$('.datepicker2').datepicker("option","minDate",newDate);
}
});
$('.datepicker2').datepicker( {
format: 'dd-mm-yyyy',
autoclose: true,
minDate:0,
});
});
if the user chooses 10-04-2019 in the first date picker then the user should only able to choose from 11-04-2019 in the second date picker.
this is the requirement
A:
Just set minDate option for the second datepicker input, so that user can't select that date or set date backwards.
Check my updated snippet of your code below:
$(document).ready(function(){
// Init first datepicker
$('.datepicker1').datepicker( {
format: 'dd-mm-yyyy',
startDate:'+0d',
autoclose: true,
onSelect: function(date){
// Select next day
var nextDay = new Date(date);
nextDay.setDate(nextDay.getDate() + 1);
$(".datepicker2").datepicker("option","minDate", nextDay);
}
});
// Init second datepicker
$('.datepicker2').datepicker( {
format: 'dd-mm-yyyy',
startDate:'+0d',
autoclose: true,
onSelect: function(date){
//validate date here
}
});
});

Premier Rachel Notley took a swipe Tuesday at Brad Wall, accusing the Saskatchewan premier of conducting a “political drive-by” ahead of this week’s Council of Federation premiers meeting in Whitehorse.
It appears to be “a summer tradition” for Wall, she said, chiding him for not simply picking up the phone and talking to her if he took issue with recently announced changes to Alberta’s beer tax.
We apologize, but this video has failed to load.

“If he would actually like to see a solution, that is a better approach,” Notley said.
“In the meantime, I will not be lectured about any efforts that our government might take … to support our small brewers, our economic diversification, our workers and our industries.”
Wall was quick to retaliate.
Wall said Tuesday afternoon his people did pick up the phone, contacting Notley’s office last week to discuss concerns that the tax could hit Saskatchewan businesses and cost jobs.
“It’s not a drive-by. It’s not even a walk-by,” he said.
Last week, the Alberta government announced it would replace a sliding scale beer tax with a standard markup per-litre rate of $1.25 for all beer sold in the province, regardless of the size of the brewery or its origin.
It says the plan establishes a level playing field for all beer sold in Alberta, which has the most open beer market in the nation. | {

The West Manipur Region
The West Manipur Region, which is currently surrounded by dense forests, was once full of swamps and marshlands. The region is home to Manipur Zoological Garden where the brow-antlered deer, an endangered species in Manipur, lives.
Various tribal groups live in the west, but it’s largely dominated by the Meitei people, who are considered high caste.
West Manipur has a variety of industries such as a spinning mill and factories for assembling bicycles, TV sets and linens. There are also workshops where jewelry and bamboo items are crafted by hand.
Manipuri is the primary language used in this region, but there are other dialects spoken within the tribal communities.
Christianity came to western Manipur in 1910 through English missionary W.R. Robert. | {

Kaiserkeller
Kaiserkeller is a music club in the St. Pauli quarter of Hamburg, Germany, near the Reeperbahn. It was opened by Bruno Koschmider on October 14, 1959. The Beatles had a contract with Kaiserkeller to play there in 1960.
Biography
A Caribbean steel band that had played at Allan Williams Jacaranda club in Liverpool took an offer to play in Hamburg. After receiving letters enthusing about Hamburg's club scene, Williams made contact with Koschmider, offering to act as a booking agent, to which Koschmider agreed. Koschmider had previously booked Derry and the Seniors after seeing them perform in London, and as they were successful in Hamburg, he asked Williams to look for additional groups. Rory Storm and The Hurricanes were Williams' first choice, but as they were committed to a season at Butlins holiday camp, they turned his offer down (as did Gerry & The Pacemakers) so Williams sent The Beatles to Hamburg instead. They were required to play six or seven hours a night, seven nights a week. The Beatles first played at Koschmider's Indra club, sleeping in small, "dirty" rooms in the Bambi Kino, and then moved (after the closure of the Indra) to the larger Kaiserkeller.
After the summer season ended in early October 1960, Rory Storm and The Hurricanes were free to travel to Hamburg, replacing Derry and The Seniors at the Kaiserkeller. They arrived in Hamburg on 1 October 1960, having negotiated to be paid more than The Seniors or The Beatles. They played five or six 90-minute sets every day, alternating with The Beatles. Rory Storm and The Hurricanes were later presented with a special certificate by Koschmider for their performances.
The St. Pauli quarter was well known as being an area where prostitutes were to be found, and was dangerous for anyone that looked different than the usual clientele. The stage of the Kaiserkeller was made of planks of wood balanced on the top of beer crates, so the two groups made a bet to see to who would be the first to break it. After punishing the stage for days, a slight crack appeared, and when Storm jumped off the top of the upright piano, it finally broke. Storm's guitarist, Johnny 'Guitar' Byrne, remembered that as Storm hit the stage, it cracked loudly and formed a V-shape around Storm. He disappeared into it, and all the amplifiers and drummer Ringo Starr's cymbals slid into the hole. Koschmider was furious, and had to replace the live music with a juke box. Both groups went across the road to Harold's cafe for breakfast, but were followed by Koschmider's doormen with coshes, who beat the musicians as punishment. Horst Fascher was Koschmider's nightclub bouncer, whose career as a boxer had been cut short (he had unintentionally killed a sailor in a street fight) although he later became a friend of The Beatles, and protected them.
Klaus Voormann once watched performances by The Hurricanes and The Beatles in the club, and invited photographer Astrid Kirchherr and friend Jürgen Vollmer to watch the performances the next day. The Beatles bass player, Stuart Sutcliffe, met Kirchherr between sets, and began dating Kirchherr shortly thereafter. Voormann was in a relationship with Kirchherr at the time, although after other visits to the Kaiserkeller their relationship became purely platonic, although she always remained close friends with Voormann.
In October 1960, The Beatles left Koschmider's club and worked at the Top Ten Club, which was run by Peter Eckhorn. When McCartney and drummer Pete Best went back to the Bambi Kino to get their belongings they found it in almost total darkness. As a snub to Koschmider, they found a condom, attached it to a nail on the concrete wall of their room, and set fire to it. There was no real damage, but Koschmider reported them for attempted arson. McCartney and Best spent three hours in a local jail and were deported, as was Harrison, for working under the legal age limit. Lennon's work permit was revoked a few days later and he went home by train, but Sutcliffe had a cold and stayed in Hamburg, and then flew home.
Later years
Today the Kaiserkeller is an alternative Rock Club that belongs to the "Große Freiheit 36".

It's been slightly more than eight years since Body Count's last speed/thrash metal assault on the world's eardrums. The lengthy delay doesn't come from a lack of desire, but rather the day job that keeps founder and frontman Ice-T out of the recording studio and on the production set.
"I've been doing Law & Order," Ice-T explains during a phone interview from his East Coast home. I was supposed to do four episodes, and it's been 16 years. That's a five-day-a-week gig. My band's in L.A. I'm in New York. It threw everything into a zone."
See also: Cannibal Corpse's Death Metal Still Provoking Controversies
Yet Ice, as he frequently calls himself, decided that now was the time to again awaken the beast. He thought this as well in 2005, when Body Count went to work on Murder 4 Hire. Still reeling over the recent death of guitarist D-Roc the Executioner from leukemia (two other original band members previously passed away), founding guitarist Ernie C. fused together a band and wrote a dozen songs. Ice-T, in turn, was primarily focused on his acting career. The album lacked focus and true conviction. Ice freely admits as much.
"Body Count suffered tremendous tragedies. We lost three members, one at a time . . . I kind of mailed it in," he says with some regret in his voice. "They sent me tracks; I did vocals. We weren't even in the same room. I wasn't happy with it."
What Murder 4 Hire lacked, Manslaughter, the group's latest, more than makes up for. Sonically and lyrically, the album frequently channels the power and enraged energy of the band's 1992 eponymous debut. With songs glorifying crime, violence, and freaky sex, along with tracks fighting the establishment or slamming societal issues, Ice-T sounds as pissed off as ever 22 years later.
"Ain't that funny?" he says with a laugh. "One of the keys in doing this record is that I had to sing from a real place. I had to sing about things that bother me right now. I couldn't have anybody say, 'Ice, this isn't real to you anymore.' I had a long time to think about things that pissed me off and what I wanted to address. Every song on the record is either about something that bothers me or ticks me off. Or it's something I feel should be respected and honored, like 'Bitch in the Pit' or 'I Will Always Love You.'"
These tracks offer shout-outs to women braving the mosh pit and servicemen suffering the traumas of war to keep America safe. The latter track's gritty details are drawn from Ice-T's personal military experience, back when he was Tracy Marrow.
"I think the best music can come from somebody who's been there," he says. "I wrote this story from the eyes of the soldier. I've played that to servicemen and they broke into tears because what I'm saying and the way I'm saying it. They know I know . . . My allegiance is to the servicemen, not the politics."
Manslaughter also features "Institutionalized 2014," a full-on rage machine (based on the famous Suicidal Tendencies song) of venom denouncing phone bank outsourcing, vegetarianism, and senseless violence. And "Back to Rehab" is a searing metal send-up for a "homey . . . fazed on liquor" that Ice kicks off tour until he's clean. "Talk Shit, Get Shot" burns with ferocity at Internet bloggers and the bullshit they spew.
"I fuckin' hate Internet bloggers. I hate people who use the Internet to talk shit and disappear into anonymity. I wish I could reach through the fuckin' screen and snatch some of them," he says, his voice rising slightly.
"These songs come from real places, some more angry than others," he adds, calmer again. "I think we'll always have shit we're pissed off at in life. Music is a good release valve for some of us to let us just vent it, you know?"
Clearly, but what of the crazed funk-metal odyssey of "Black Voodoo Sex"?
"It's an Ice-T adventure because I've always loved telling stories about sex with voodoo bitches in graveyards," he says with a laugh. "Those are just outrageous songs. You've got to remember, Body Count is grindhouse. Body Count is so outrageous it can't be taken seriously. It's over-the-top violent, over-the-top sexual. Even back in the day with 'Cop Killer,' if you believed I killed a cop, you also believe that on the next song I dismembered my mother with a Ginsu carving knife.
"My buddy says, 'Ice, you've got a dark humor, and if people don't get your humor, then you'll scare the shit out of them,'" he says. "My audience, my fans, they get it and know when I'm serious. They know."
Unfortunately, too many people sadly accept the lyrical content as literally as a 7-year-old would -- as nothing startling reality. President George H.W. Bush and Vice President Dan Quayle raised a stink about the perceived threat of "Cop Killer" -- a song about a Jason-like character seeking revenge on cops because police brutality drove him mad. Neither probably ever heard the song. National protests erupted along with demands that Warner Brothers censor the album.
"There were more people who didn't listen to my music than did and they were easily swayed," Ice says. "So I became the villain."
Could the backlash have been foretold?
"No! Hell no!" he says emphatically. "I come from a background of listening to Black Flag, and I had a T-shirt from Millions of Dead Cops. I thought cops were fair game. I didn't know there were things you couldn't say about them. No, it blindsided me."
Ice eventually decided to drop the song from future re-issues. Not because of label demands, but to shift the focus onto Body Count the band, and not a single song.
"When the president is talking shit about you, you gotta do something," he recalls. "I had to defuse the situation or it was just going to keep going and end up ugly."
In a strange twist, given his body of work stuffed with anti-police tomes or songs glorifying crime, Ice-T's acting career has been primarily predicated on portraying cops.
"It's very ironic. The last thing I ever thought I would be doing is acting like a cop and getting paid for it," he says with a laugh. "Hell yeah! I was a career criminal. I was out there fucking up . . . Life is ironic, man. If I ever thought as a kid I be a rock star and headlining at the Mayhem Festival I'd say, 'Get the fuck out of here! I think I'd be out in the parking lot robbing people.' I've changed. Now I'm handing out advice about how to be good."
Perhaps, but listeners will have to dig deep through the rage, violence, and occasional freakiness to unlock that advice.
"On the surface [Manslaughter] looks like some brutal slasher shit, but inside, there might be some jewels that can save your life," he says in closing. "That's what Ice-T can give you. It's medicine. It just don't look like medicine." | {

"allDay"= false, // This is correct
Hope this helps

Kevin Jorgeson
Kevin Jorgeson (born October 7, 1984) is an American rock climber.
Biography
Jorgeson was born to Eric and Gaelena Jorgeson. His father was an employee of the Santa Rosa Parks and Recreation Department, and helped to instill Kevin and his younger brother Matt with a love of the outdoors, and encouraged an 11-year-old Kevin to pursue climbing when an indoor climbing facility opened in the city. He began competing in international climbing contests at 16. Jorgeson is known for being able to free climb, using no equipment other than gear to protect from falling, and is well known for being able to high ball large boulders.
Jorgeson and his climbing partner Tommy Caldwell were the first two climbers to successfully complete a free climb of the Dawn Wall of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park, completing the 3,000 ft climb between December 28, 2014, and January 14, 2015. The Dawn Wall is one of the most difficult big-wall climbs in the world, with multiple pitches rated 5.14 in the Yosemite Decimal System. The climb had been planned since shortly after the release of the documentary film Progression in 2009, in which Caldwell, who had previously free climbed other, easier routes on El Capitan, surveyed the Dawn Wall to consider if it was possible to free climb. Jorgeson wrote to Caldwell after seeing the film, and the two men began to plan out and practice for the ascent.
The Dawn Wall, a documentary following Jorgeson and Caldwell on their free climb of the Dawn Wall, was released on September 19, 2018. The documentary was directed by Josh Lowell and Peter Mortimer.
Kevin Jorgeson is sponsored by Adidas and Five Ten.
As of July 2019, Jorgeson was working toward opening a new climbing facility called Session, in Sonoma County, California. The project broke ground in 2018.
He is also a cofounder of 1Climb, an organization focused on introducing children to climbing.
In addition to climbing, Jorgeson performs as a keynote speaker for various corporate events, such as for The Gap, Samsung, and Alcon Laboratories.

Mother of abandoned baby found
Hollywood Police reported that the mother of an abandoned baby boy at a laundromat on the 1900 block of Johnson Street had been located and arrested this morning. The mother of the abandoned baby is Estela Román-Morales, 28. The media should be covering the story the way that they are because this is not right, and people should be made aware that there are some people who are not mentally in the right state of mind.
Tate competent to understansd legal proceedings
A Broward County judge found Lionel Tate mentally competent to understand legal proceedings, even after allegations surfaced that the convicted child-killer suffered abuse at the hands of his own mother while a youngster. The media is blowing this whole story out of proportion. Lionel Tate is a convicted child-killer, now he will always be in the spot light for everything he does, good or bad, because the media is constantly on top of him.
Man shot to death after chase

Beatles may finally sell their songs online
The Beatles are preparing to sell their songs online after years of refusing to take part in the Internet music boom. The media should be covering this story a little more because music selling online has been a big debate for a long time. And when a big band decides to sell their music after not wanting to do so for many years is a big step for the internet music industry. To read more click here.

A woman died Wednesday after going on a ride at Walt Disney World so intense that it has motion sickness bags. A 49-year-old woman was riding "Mission: Space" on Tuesday. She was taken to a hospital, and died a day later. He name was not released. At least the media is covering this story a lot because it involves children as well as adults going on rides that many of the public enjoy. To read more click here.
New Orleans home are now 3 feet higher
A long-awaited government projection on New Orleans' flood danger recommends that thousands of homes and businesses in areas ravaged by Hurricane Katrina be raised at least 3 feet. The media should be covering this story more to let people know the current status on the ravaged New Orleans. The media forgets sometimes about major disasters that are still recuperating.

BSO's new Fire Cheif
The BSO Fire Rescue gets a new cheif. Joseph Lello was named head of BSO Fire Rescue Wednesday morning by Broward Sheriff Ken Jenne. It is good that the media is letting the public know about the new people in charge of their saftey, and we all know that the media will continue to cover stories on the new cheif to see if he is doing his job well.

Poll shows public afraid of Nuclear weapons in Iran
A poll was done by The Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg and it suggests many Americans are worried about the dangers of a nuclear-armed Iran. At the same time, a majority doubted Bush's ability to make the right decision about whether to go to war with Iran. The media needs to cover this story more because if they do, then the public may voice their thoughts more, and show the president what they are thinking. To read more click here.
Possible Housing aid in South Florida
There is a new proposal that would help public workers in the affordable housing crisis. It would be almost $60 million in Broward County and $40 million in Palm Beach County. There is a lot of money here to help the public so the media needs to keep a close eye on this stiuation epsecially since its in its last weeks of legislative session.

Heres how spanish news reporting it "An angry mob beaten yesterday by one of several suspected hijackers in the Los rails Yaguate, San Cristobal. The lynching victim is an unidentified man, who in addition to administer beatings bruised in various parts of the body, the crowd on fire, causing burns to his chest and other parts of her body. Held by the deceased took a gun. His companions managed to escape through the bushes, so they are pursued to actively now, according to the version set in the scene. Police said the deceased, accompanied by several unidentified, allegedly abducted the merchant Luis Antonio Dur�n, Los Alcarrizos, Santo Domingo Oeste, and after negotiations were about to collect the money demanded for their release. At that moment, according to preliminary reports, the crowd attacked the strangers with sticks, stones and other objects, making cause injuries , who has occupied a Browning pistol, numbering filed down.

The effects of 20-hydroxyecdysone on the metabolic labeling of membrane proteins in Drosophila imaginal discs.
20-Hydroxyecdysone induces evagination of imaginal discs of Drosophila melanogaster cultured in vitro. The possible involvement of cell-surface proteins in this process has prompted us to study the synthesis of membrane proteins in imaginal discs. A procedure is reported for the isolation of membrane vesicle fractions from discs that are enriched for the plasma membrane enzyme, Na+/K+-ATPase, and that label with the surface-labeling reagent [125I]iodosulfanilic acid. 20-Hydroxyecdysone alters the pattern of [35S]methionine incorporation into polypeptides in these membrane vesicle fractions. Increased and decreased incorporation as well as changes in migration on two-dimensional gels of specific polypeptides are caused by the hormone. These changes parallel in time the onset and the continuation of evagination. | {

Q:
How to filter a document library based on Managed Meta Data
What is the best way to filter a document library based on a Managed Metadata column?
When a user clicks a link in the "Current Navigation", it directs them to a Page with a Document library. I want the document library to already be filtered based on a value in the Managed Meta Data column. Say, for example, the metadata tag I want to filter is "Dinosaurs", the document library needs to show all the documents with the tag "Dinosaurs" (+ optionally all descendent metadata terms).
I know you can create a view on the document library and apply it to the document library web part, but I have many MetaData terms and this isn't an option.
Is there a way to do this via code?
A:
What you are looking for is "Metadata Navigation".
if you go to:
Library settings
Metadata navigation settings
Pick a field under Available Hierarchy Fields
you will get a treeview with terms and the library view will filter based on those terms
you can also have key filters

Wallets made of fabric and leather are, of course, known. The durability of the wallet has been recognized as a function of the material from which it is composed. While leather is widely used for this purpose, even after being folded a few times, the wallet shows signs of wear. Textile fabric wallets are even more prone to wear. | {

Effects of [6]-shogaol on cholinergic signaling in HT22 cells following neuronal damage induced by hydrogen peroxide.
Cholinergic neurons play a major role in memory and attention. The dysfunction and death of these neurons, especially in the hippocampus, are thought to contribute to the pathophysiology of memory deficits associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore, studying the cholinergic properties and cell survival may help in treating this disease. We investigated the possible effects of [6]-shogaol on cholinergic signaling in HT22 hippocampal neuronal cells. HT22 cells express essential cholinergic markers, including choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and choline transporter (ChTp). HT22 cells treated with H(2)O(2) for 3h showed an increase in ROS production (35%). These features were partly recovered by [6]-shogaol. Treating H(2)O(2)-treated HT22 cells with [6]-shogaol markedly increased the expression of ChAT and ChTp, an effect similar to that of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Furthermore, K-252a, an inhibitor of the BDNF receptor Trk B, attenuated the effects of both [6]-shogaol and BDNF. These data suggest that [6]-shogaol protects neurons by increasing ChAT and ChTp expression through a BDNF increase and thus may be useful for treating neurodegenerative diseases. | {

Chronotope
In literary theory and philosophy of language, the chronotope is how configurations of time and space are represented in language and discourse. The term was taken up by Russian literary scholar M.M. Bakhtin who used it as a central element in his theory of meaning in language and literature. The term itself comes from the Russian , which in turn is derived from the Greek ('time') and ('space'); it thus can be literally translated as "time-space." Bakhtin developed the term in his 1937 essay "Forms of Time and of the Chronotope in the Novel" (). Here Bakhtin showed how different literary genres operated with different configurations of time and space, which gave each genre its particular narrative character. For example, the chronotopic frame of the epic differed from that of the hero adventure or the comedy.
Definition
In the philosophy of language and philology, Bakhtin scholars Caryl Emerson and Michael Holquist state that the chronotope is "a unit of analysis for studying language according to the ratio and characteristics of the temporal and spatial categories represented in that language". Specific chronotopes are said to correspond to particular genres, or relatively stable ways of speaking, which themselves represent particular worldviews or ideologies. To this extent, a chronotope is both a cognitive concept and a narrative feature of language.
In "Forms of Time and of the Chronotope in the Novel," Bakhtin defines the chronotope thus:
Examples
The concept of the chronotope has been most widely used in literary studies. The scholar Timo Müller for example argued that analysis of chronotopes highlights the environmental dimension of literary texts because it draws attention to the concrete physical spaces in which stories take place. Müller discusses the chronotope of the road, which for Bakhtin was a meeting place but in recent literature no longer brings people together in this way because automobiles have changed the way we perceive the time and space of the road. Car drivers want to minimize the time they spend on the road. They are rarely interested in the road as a physical space, the natural environment around the road, or the environmental implications of their driving. This contrasts with earlier literary examples such as Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken" or John Steinbeck's novel The Grapes of Wrath, where the road is described as part of the natural environment and the travelers are interested in that environment.
Linguistic anthropologist Keith Basso invoked "chronotopes" in discussing Western [Apache] stories linked with places. In the 1980s when Basso was writing, geographic features reminded the Western Apache of "the moral teachings of their history" by recalling to mind events that occurred there in important moral narratives. By merely mentioning "it happened at [the place called] 'men stand above here and there,'" storyteller Nick Thompson could remind locals of the dangers of joining "with outsiders against members of their own community." Geographic features in the Western Apache landscape are chronotopes, Basso says, in precisely the way Bakhtin defines the term when he says they are "points in the geography of a community where time and space intersect and fuse. Time takes on flesh and becomes visible for human contemplation; likewise, space becomes charged and responsive to the movements of time and history and the enduring character of a people. ...Chronotopes thus stand as monuments to the community itself, as symbols of it, as forces operating to shape its members' images of themselves" (qtd. in Basso 1984: 44–45).
Anthropologist of syncretism Safet HadžiMuhamedović built upon Bakhtin’s term in his ethnography of the Field of Gacko in the southeastern Bosnian highlands. In Waiting for Elijah: Time and Encounter in a Bosnian Landscape, he argued that people and landscapes may sometimes be trapped between timespaces and thus "schizochronotopic" (from the Greek σχίζειν (skhizein): "to split"). He described two overarching chronotopes as "collective timespace themes", both of which relied on certain kinds of past and laid claims to the Field’s future. One was told through proximities, the other through distances between religious communities. For HadžiMuhamedović, schizochronotopia is a rift occurring within the same body/landscape, through which the past and the present of place have rendered each other unbidden.
The chronotope has also been adopted for the analysis of classroom events and conversations, for example by Raymond Brown and Peter Renshaw in order to view "student participation in the classroom as a dynamic process constituted through the interaction of past experience, ongoing involvement, and yet-to-be-accomplished goals" (2006: 247–259). Kumpulainen, Mikkola, and Jaatinen (2013) examined the space–time configurations of students’ technology-mediated creative learning practices over a year-long school musical project in a Finnish elementary school. The findings of their study suggest that "blended practices appeared to break away from traditional learning practices, allowing students to navigate in different time zones, spaces, and places with diverse tools situated in their formal and informal lives" (2013: 53).

Q:
Can I sheetrock over styrofoam on a garage ceiling?
I am buying a home with a detached garage that the original owner insulated. The garage is probably 25 years old. At the time of construction, 1" expanded foam was nailed directly to the rafters to insulate the ceiling. Over time, the foam has shrunk (and deteriorated to some degree) leaving 1/2 - 1" gaps around all the seams and is not sufficient any longer. The attic is vented properly.
I would like to re-insulate the ceiling with standard blown-in fiberglass or cellulose. I would also like to sheetrock the ceiling to provide a better finish.
Can I install the sheetrock over the existing styrofoam and then blow in the insulation in the attic?
A:
Yes you can sheet rock with longer screws. However the screws will basically have no hold until they hit the wood. Your previous insulation will continue to shrivel. Your ceiling will sag (glue and screw your drywall to ceilings). And you will be like - "why didn't I prep this for a couple hours so I don't have to redo it." Nothing worse than completing a job and knowing that something you did could (probably will) go wrong.
Also I doubt your insulation is even/flat and I think this would make hanging it flat very hard.
I am all about saving time but if you are in the house for more than a year or two I think you are wasting time.
Also why are you insulating the roof of a detached garage?

Trends in residential policies and services for people with intellectual disabilities in Taiwan.
In Taiwan, 92-95% of people with an intellectual disability (ID) live with their families, with the remaining residing in residential facilities. Instead of funding community-living alternatives, the Taiwanese Government funds only registered facilities as part of its residential policies and services. The purpose of this study was to evaluate current policies and services trends regarding people with an ID in Taiwan. Both documentary research, such as an analysis of policies, services programmes, official statistics, surveys, reports and funding provision reports, and a mail survey, were conducted to examine current trends and characteristics of the 96 residential settings available for people with an ID in Taiwan. During the 1990s in Taiwan, residential programmes for people with an ID showed the biggest growth since 1952. Since the first 'Community Home' was launched in 1990, the number of smaller scale residential settings with a unit size of less than 30 has grown significantly, particularly since 2000. However, the rate of institutionalization of people with an ID and who live in the institutions has also risen. In Taiwan, unlike in Western societies, residential services for people with an ID provided by formal care systems are tending to grow in number, and these include both large and smaller residential settings. | {

Q:
Naming the capturing image third time
I created a basic service to get images from a camera every 10 second. The service works perfectly, but I'm trying to name the image files like ImageYYYYddmm_HHmmSS. After the second file, the images are getting the same YYYYddmm_HHmmSS, thus overwriting the first image. Where is my mistake?
public class CP extends Service
{
Camera.PictureCallback mCall = new Camera.PictureCallback()
{
public void onPictureTaken(final byte[] data, Camera camera)
{
FileOutputStream outStream = null;
try{
outStream = new FileOutputStream("/sdcard/Image"+tar+".jpg");
outStream.write(data); outStream.close();
Log.i("CAM", data.length + " byte written: /sdcard/Image"+tar+".jpg");
camClose(sHolder);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e){
Log.d("CAM", e.getMessage());
} catch (IOException e){
Log.d("CAM", e.getMessage());
}
}
};
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
public void camClose(SurfaceHolder sHolder) {
if (null == mCamera)
return;
mCamera.stopPreview();
mCamera.release();
mCamera = null;
Log.i("CAM", " closed");
}
}
A:
Tar is never updating to the current time. In your onPictureTaken, try something like this:
public void onPictureTaken(final byte[] data, Camera camera)
{
FileOutputStream outStream = null;
try{
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
tar = (sdf.format(cal.getTime()));
outStream = new FileOutputStream("/sdcard/Image"+tar+".jpg");
outStream.write(data); outStream.close();
Log.i("CAM", data.length + " byte written: /sdcard/Image"+tar+".jpg");
camClose(sHolder);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e){
Log.d("CAM", e.getMessage());
} catch (IOException e){
Log.d("CAM", e.getMessage());
}

Kerisiano Kalolo
Aliki Kelihiano Kalolo, also commonly referred to as Kelihiano Kalolo, is a Tokelauan politician who served as the Head of the Government of Tokelau, or Ulu, from February (or March?) 2012 to February (or March?) 2013 and again since 12 March 2019. He is a member of the Council for the Ongoing Government of Tokelau, serving as Minister for Foreign Affairs, Education, Economic Development, Natural Resources and the Environment, prior to and then simultaneously to his leadership of the government. The office of Ulu rotates on an annual basis between the faipule of each of the country's three atolls; Kalolo, as faipule of Atafu, took office as Ulu for the first time in 2012.
As Ulu, he oversaw the replacement of Tokelau's old ship, the MV Tokelau, which was considered no longer to be safe and seaworthy, with the newer, custom-built PB Matua, provided by New Zealand. In June 2012, Kalolo sacked his Minister for Transport, Foua Toloa, over the latter's insistence that the MV Tokelau was still seaworthy, and New Zealand Foreign Minister Murray McCully's indication that the New Zealand government could not work with Toloa. Toloa's portfolios (Finance, Telecommunications, Energy and Transport) were taken over by the Ulu.
Kalolo also oversaw the small country's transition from diesel-powered energy to solar energy, implemented by a New Zealand company.
In September 2012, he was appointed Chancellor of the regional University of the South Pacific. Prior to becoming Ulu, he had served as the University's co-ordinator in Tokelau.
His term as Ulu ends or ended in March 2013; his successor is Salesio Lui, the faipule of Nukunonu.

Acne keloidalis of the burned male face. Case report.
Acne keloidalis is characterized by infected keloid-like nodules in the short-cut nuchal region probably caused by recurving, ingrowing hairshafts. A case with a deep, partial-thickness burn of the hair-bearing part of the face of a man is reported. After healing, the patient started shaving himself thus inducing a severe state of acne keloidalis. It seems advisable in males not to shave during the first eight eight to ten months after a partial-thickness burn of the face in order to avoid this troublesome condition. | {

1 action Range: 30 feet
30 feet Components: V, S
V, S Duration: Instantaneous You rip a Medium sized boulder out of the earth from an unoccupied space you can see within range and hurl it 30 feet in a direction of your choice. The boulder moves along the path until it is stopped by a creature or object of size Large or larger. Each target in its path must succeed on a Strength saving throw or take 3d6 bludgeoning damage and be pushed along with the boulder. On a successful save, a target takes no damage and is moved out of the path of the boulder to the nearest unoccupied space. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the boulder is size Large, it is only stopped by Huge or larger creatures or objects, and it deals 5d6 bludgeoning damage. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the boulder is size Huge, it is only stopped by Gargantuan or larger creatures or objects, and it deals 7d6 bludgeoning damage. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 9th level, the boulder is size Gargantuan, it can't be stopped by any creature or object in its way, and it deals 9d6 bludgeoning damage.
Ice Glide 1st-level Transmutation Casting Time: 1 bonus action
1 bonus action Range: Self
Self Components: V, S, M (an ice pick)
V, S, M (an ice pick) Duration: Concentration, up to 1 round You create a ramp of ice formed from condensed water underneath your feet as you walk. The ramp continuously forms up from the ground until it reaches 20 feet in length, 15 feet in height, you stop moving, or you move through a space without some amount of water. The ramp also stops forming if you attempt to move above another creature or above a space with a lower elevation than the start of the ramp. The ramp is 3 feet thick. When the spell ends at the start of your next turn, the ramp melts and safely brings any creatures standing on it down to the ground. The ramp is an object made of ice that can be damaged. The ramp has an AC of 10, 30 hit points, and vulnerability to fire damage. Reducing the ramp to 0 hit points destroys it. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the ramp can be up to 30 feet in height and 40 feet in length, it has 60 hit points, and you gain a +10-foot bonus to your base walking speed for the duration. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the ramp can be up to 50 feet in height and 60 feet in length, it has 90 hit points, and you gain a +30-foot bonus to your base walking speed for the duration.
Ice Tower 4th-level Transmutation Casting Time: 1 action
1 action Range: 30 feet
30 feet Components: V, S
V, S Duration: 1 minute Choose an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The space must contain some amount of water, such as a puddle, fog, or a fountain. Using the water, you create a 5-foot tall cylindrical tower of ice coming out of the ground in that space. When you cast the spell, and as an action on each of your turns, you can cleave off a section of the tower and launch it as a whirling ice disc if you are within 30 feet of the tower. The disc originates from the tower and travels towards the target. When you do, make a ranged spell attack against a target that you can see and that is within 60 feet of the tower. On a hit, the target takes 2d4 cold damage and 2d10 slashing damage. When the spell ends, the ice tower melts away. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a slot of 5th level or higher, the slashing damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 4th.
Jet 4th-level evocation Casting Time: 1 action

S, M (a pinch of ash) Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes Jets of flames erupt from your heels. You gain a flying speed of 30 feet for the duration. The first time you take off from the ground on each of your turns, each creature within 5 feet of you must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 2d10 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful save. When the spell ends, you fall if you are still aloft, unless you can stop the fall. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 4th. | {

Pakistan political leaders and military top brass today discussed security situation in the country, especially in the wake of military operation in restive North Waziristan, and pledged to evolve a strategy to eliminate terrorism and extremism on long term basis.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif chaired a meeting of National Security Conference, comprising heads and representatives of all major political parties in National Assembly and the military leadership at his residence.
In a statement issued at the end of the day-long discussion, the civil-military leaders showed commitment to fight militancy till its end.
"It was noted with pleasure that the whole nation including political parties had rejected terrorists and their ideology. Representatives of all political and religious parties agreed that state has to fight and eliminate militancy," it said.
"There was absolute unanimity of views on the need to evolve a strategy to eliminate terrorism on long term basis. The meeting also agreed to work to address extremism," the statement said.
In the meeting, Director General Military Operations Major General Amir Riaz briefed the political leadership about the military operation Zarb-e-Azb in the North Waziristan tribal region.
It was the first briefing since the launch of the military operation on June 15 in which more than 600 militants and over 35 soldiers have been killed. The operation has also displaced about one million people.
The participants of the conference were informed about the areas cleared by the armed forces during the operation.
"The conference was also told that the terrorists are on the run and their command and control system had been crippled," it said.
The meeting was informed that the stated policy of the armed forces during Zarb-e-Azb was to ensure no collateral damage and protect the life and property of innocent civilians. | {

Q:
Does Koenig's lookup apply here?
Is the following snippet correct C++ code?
#include <sstream>
class Foo;
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& str, Foo x); // (A)
namespace test {
class Message {
public:
std::ostringstream str;
};
template<typename T>
Message& operator<<(Message& m, T& t)
{
using ::operator<<;
m.str << t;
return m;
}
}
namespace detail {
class Class {
public:
int i;
Class() : i(5) {}
};
}
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& str, detail::Class& myClass) { // (B)
return str << myClass.i;
}
int main() {
test::Message m;
detail::Class c;
m << c;
}
According to http://goo.gl/NkPNau GCC compiles this fine, while Clang doesn't find the operator<< (B).
In case you are wondering: This is from a code that uses GTest with a custom operator<< for std::set to print nice assertion messages. We couldn't figure out a way to make it work with clang other than putting the operator<< (B) in std namespace (yeah I know...).
A:
Clang is correct here. Let's call g++'s behavior a language extension.
Argument-dependent lookup (aka Koenig lookup) does apply, since m.str << t is interpreted using the best overload matching either m.str.operator<<(t) or operator<<(m.str, t), and the second case is an unqualified-id as the function name. But:
14.6.4.2:
For a function call that depends on a template parameter, the candidate functions are found using the usual lookup rules (3.4.1, 3.4.2, 3.4.3) except that:
For the part of the lookup using unqualified name lookup (3.4.1) or qualified name lookup (3.4.3), only function declarations from the template definition context are found.
For the part of the lookup using associated namespaces (3.4.2), only function declarations found in either the template definition context or the template instantiation context are found.
If the function name is an unqualified-id and the call would be ill-formed or would find a better match had the lookup within the associated namespaces considered all the function declarations with external linkage introduced in those namespaces in all translation units, not just considering those declarations found in the template definition and template instantiation contexts, then the program has undefined behavior.
At the template definition context, (B) is not visible. (B) is visible at the template instantiation context, but the global namespace is not an associated namespace of either std::ostringstream or detail::Class.

Critics slammed President Donald Trump on Monday for using Memorial Day to praise his own performance as president, a departure from the more traditional statements issued by previous administrations.
"Happy Memorial Day!" Trump tweeted Monday morning. "Those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today. Best economy in decades, lowest unemployment numbers for Blacks and Hispanics EVER (& women in 18years), rebuilding our Military and so much more. Nice!"

The unconventional tweet was sandwiched between an earlier video message that solely praised the country's veterans and a string of tweets that praised Fox News and railed against his political foes. The president also visited Arlington National Cemetery on Monday, where he gave a more conventional speech. Still, critics, including some conservatives, pounced on the president for what many suggested were insensitive and tone-deaf remarks delivered via social media.
"This is perhaps the most disgusting Trump tweet ever," tweeted Nate Bell, a conservative Arkansas politician also known for controversial remarks. "Memorial Day is a solemn day to reflect on the memories of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for freedom, liberty & justice for all. It's NOT a 'Happy' day nor is it a day to tout your draft dodging 'bone spurs' self."

The editor at large of the conservative magazine The Weekly Standard advised his 340,000 followers to ignore the president's message.

"My advice, FWIW: If you happen to have encountered this tweet, as I did--put it out of mind," wrote Bill Kristol. "There are so many appropriate expressions of respect and appreciation on this Memorial Day that deserve your attention, and that reflect well on the country. Attend to them. Ignore Trump."
Direct replies to the president's tweet also blasted him, with several noting that Trump avoided serving in the armed forces due to "bone spurs," a medical condition affecting the feet that the president used to secure a deferment after having already received several to attend college.

"Well, he definitely wrote this one himself," wrote Jonah Goldberg, editor of the conservative-leaning National Review.
Others compared it to the Memorial Day statement former President Barack Obama issued during his final year in office, which did not tout his personal or presidential achievements. "This Memorial Day, I hope you'll join me in acts of remembrance," Obama tweeted in 2016. "The debt we owe our fallen heroes is one we can never truly repay."
Former President George Bush also issued statements that contained nary a mention of the economy or job numbers. "Laura and I join our fellow citizens in honoring the courageous souls who have given their lives in defense of our country," he said in 2015, echoing a string of previous statements made by the Bush family on Memorial Day. "Today our hearts go out to America's Gold Star Families, for whom every day is Memorial Day. We honor your loved ones and thank you for service and sacrifice."
This isn't the first time Trump's Memorial Day message has been slammed by critics. In 2015, he wrote on Twitter: "I would like to wish everyone, including all haters and losers (of which, sadly, there are many) a truly happy and enjoyable Memorial Day!" The mention of "haters and losers" was a refrain invoked by Trump on numerous occasions, including the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Jacob Zuma resigns as South Africa’s president
Jacob Zuma has resigned as the president of South Africa with immediate effect, state television announced Wednesday night. President Jacob Zuma announced his resignation ahead of Thursday’s no-confidence votes.
“I have therefore come to the decision to resign as president of the republic with immediate effect even though I disagree with the decision of the leadership of my organisation … I have always been a disciplined member of the organisation,” local media quoted Zuma as saying.
Zuma further noted that he was not afraid to leave office as he did not fear the no-confidence motion.
“I fear no motion of no confidence or impeachment for they are the lawful mechanisms for the people of this beautiful country to remove their president,” he said.
Mr. Zuma, 75, has led South Africa since 2009. His resignation came a day after he was rejected by his parry, the African National Congress, ANC. | {

Characterization of human cells transformed by chemical and physical carcinogens in vitro.
Several different classes of chemical carcinogens induced the transformation of human fibroblasts grown in vitro. Characteristics of the events that occur from time of treatment through the expression of neoplastic transformation are presented. The S-phase appeared to be the portion of the cell cycle most vulnerable to insult. Staging of the cells by blocking them in G1 before releasing them to proceed through scheduled DNA synthesis (S) was required to induce reproducible transformation. Compounds such as insulin were added to the cells upon release from the block to sensitize the cells to the carcinogen that was added during S. Growth of the transformed cells as distinct from nontransformed cells was promoted by growth in medium supplemented with 8X nonessential amino acids. Carcinogen-treated cells in the early stage of transformation exhibited abnormal colony morphology and were able to grow at 41 degrees C, in air atmosphere, and in medium supplemented with only 1% serum. In addition, the transformed cells were insensitive to KB cell lysate and exhibited density independent, as well as anchorage independent, growth (i.e., growth in 0.33% agar). Cells that grew in soft agar also produced undifferentiated mesenchymal tumors in preirradiated nude mice. | {

Bongoville
Bongoville is a town in south eastern Gabon, lying east of Franceville. It was known as Lewai until its renaming for President Omar Bongo, who was born in what was then a village but was greatly enlarged under his presidency. It lies just west of the Bateke Plateau and is home to Stade de Bongoville, a 2,500-capacity stadium where the city's AC Bongoville football club plays its home games.

Lifting smooth curves to characteristic zero
This is a continuation of the project outlined in this post yesterday of describing Grothendieck’s proof that the fundamental group of a smooth curve in characteristic has topological generators (where is the genus). The first step, as I explained there, is to show that one may “lift” such smooth curves to characteristic zero, in order that a comparison may be made between the characteristic curve and something much more concrete in characteristic zero, that we can approach via topological methods. This post will be devoted to showing that such a lifting is always possible.
1. Introduction
It is a general question of when one can “lift” varieties in characteristic to characteristic zero. Doing so often allows one to bring in transcendental techniques (to the lift), as it will in this case of . Let us thus be formal:
Definition 4Let be a proper, smooth scheme of finite type over a field of characteristic . We say that a lifting of is the data of a DVR of characteristic zero with residue field , and a proper, smooth morphism whose special fiber is isomorphic to .
There are obstructions that can prevent one from making such a lifting. One example is given by étale cohomology. A combination of the so-called proper and smooth base change theorems implies that, in such a situation, the cohomology of the special fiber and the cohomology of the general fiber, with coefficients in any finite group without -torsion, are isomorphic. As a result, if there is something funny in the étale cohomology of , it might not be liftable. See this MO question.
In the case of curves, fortunately, it turns out there are no such problems, but still actually lifting one will take some work. We aim to prove:
Theorem 5Let be a smooth, proper curve of finite type over the field of characteristic . Then if is any complete DVR of characteristic zero with residue field , there is a smooth lifting of .
One should, of course, actually check that such a complete DVR does exist. But this is a general piece of algebra, found for instance in Serre’s Local Fields.
The reason there won’t be any obstructions in the case of curves is that they are of dimension one, but we’ll see that the cohomological obstructions to lifting all live in .
The strategy, in fact, will be to lift to a sequence of smooth schemes (where is the maximal ideal) that each lift each other, using the local nilpotent lifting property of smooth morphisms.
This family is an example of a so-called formal scheme, which for our purposes is just such a compatible sequence of liftings. Obviously any scheme gives rise to a formal scheme (take the base-changes to ), but it is actually nontrivial (i.e., not always true) to show that a formal scheme is indeed of this form. But we will be able to do this as well in the case of curves.
2. Local lifting of smooth schemes
Let us start by lifting the smooth curve to a sequence of schemes , following the program outlined earlier. It will be convenient to do this in a more general setting. Let be a base scheme, and let be a subscheme defined by an ideal of square zero. Suppose is a smooth scheme. We want to know if there is a smooth scheme whose restriction to is . In general, this need not exist, but the next result states that the smooth lifting does locally.
Hereafter, all schemes are noetherian.
Proposition 6 (Local lifting of smooth morphisms)Lifting to a smooth -scheme can always be done locally. If , there is a neighborhood of , a smooth scheme such that .Moreover, any two liftings are locally -isomorphic. If is affine, and lift the open affine , there is an -isomorphism .
Of course, it is not very deep to lift the schemes themselves: the composite would do. The point is to preserve essential properties (in this case, smoothness).
Proof: We are going to deduce it from the “équivalence remarkable de catégories” of Grothendieck, that states the following: if is a closed subscheme defined by an ideal of square zero, then base-change gives an equivalence of categories between the collection of schemes étale over and the schemes étale over . In other words, étale -schemes can be lifted globally (and uniquely). For smooth morphisms the statement is weaker.
Indeed, we note that (by one characterization of smoothness) there is a neighborhood of such that the map
factors as a composite
where is étale. Now then extends uniquely to a scheme étale over . This is the lifting we want.
Finally we need to show local uniqueness of the lifting. We will do this using the infinitesimal lifting property. Let be affine, . Suppose and are affine, without loss of generality, say where is an ideal of square zero. By hypothesis, we are given two smooth -algebras (whose spectra are the two liftings ), together with an isomorphism
But here we use the infinitesimal lifting property of smooth morphisms. Namely, the map
can be lifted to an -homomorphism because is -smooth. This homomorphism, moreover, induces the identity mod (when both are identified with ). The claim is that this is an isomorphism, which follows from the next lemma.
Lemma 7Let be a noetherian ring. Let be flat -algebras, and let be an ideal of square zero. If a map is such that the reduction mod , , is an isomorphism, then is itself an isomorphism.
Proof: Indeed, we note that by flatness, . Similarly for . That is, flatness makes the associated graded behave nicely. But, again by flatness:
and consequently the map is an isomorphism. In particular, the map induces an isomorphism on the associated gradeds of the -adic filtration. Since is nilpotent, this gives the result. The point of the lemma is that determine the associated gradeds by flatness.
In the proof of the above result, we showed something more specific than just local unicity. When the base and the target are affine, then any two smooth liftings are isomorphic (noncanonically, in general).
3. Global lifting
So we can always lift smooth things locally. Of course, there will be lots of ways of doing that in general, and the question is whether we can patch them together. In the étale case, there are no nontrivial automorphisms of the lifting: that is, the functor of base-changing by is fully faithful (by the infinitesimal lifting property for étale morphisms). As a result, there is no problem patching local liftings.
For smooth morphisms, the problem is more delicate. We can always lift locally, but to patch the liftings one needs a “cocycle” condition, which is not automatic. As a result, there is a cohomological obstruction to lifting that comes from these automorphisms.
Let be a smooth -scheme. Suppose as a subscheme defined by an ideal of square zero. We are going to define a sheaf on as follows: for each , will denote the set of -automorphisms (where is the pre-image of in ) inducing the identity on .
We shall use:
Lemma 8The sheaf is canonically isomorphic to a quasi-coherent sheaf on , which is independent of the lifting .
This is a remarkable statement. It is clear that can be made into a sheaf of groups (since is defined by an ideal of square zero, it is easy to see that an automorphism of restricts to an automorphism of ). In fact it is not even obvious a priori that this sheaf of groups is a sheaf of abelian groups.
Proof: To see this, we will start by assuming (and consequently ) affine. Say . Then we are looking for the set of -homomorphisms
that induce the identity . Such a map is necessarily of the form , where is an -homomorphism. One requires, of course:
Since , this is equivalent to saying that is an -derivation.
One can check that the composite , as the composite of two -derivations , is always zero. As a result, the group of such automorphisms is isomorphic to the group of derivations.
Such derivations are classified by maps of -modules
However, these are the same as maps of -modules because is a -module, as . It follows that the sheaf in question is the sheaf
where is the ideal of square zero cut that cuts out . Note that is an -module. This is coherent and completely independent of : indeed, it is also isomorphic to
where is the dual of the (locally free) cotangent sheaf and is the ideal of in . This depends on the embedding but not the lifting .
Now let us try to analyze the situation we are ultimately interested in. Let be a smooth separated scheme, where is a subscheme defined by an ideal of square zero. For simplicity, let us assume affine, since that is the only case we shall need. We know that there is an open affine cover of consisting of schemes that lift to smooth affine -schemes such that
Now, for each , we have two liftings of the affine scheme : namely, and .
By formal smoothness (namely, the infinitesimal lifting property), we have isomorphisms
that induce the identity . This is where we have used the affineness and separatedness hypotheses. The hope is that these would satisfy the cocycle condition, and that we could glue all the together. Unfortunately, they needn’t.
So let’s recall the cocycle condition: for any three indices , one must have
If we had this, then we could just glue the and get a smooth lifting of to .
What we can do is to consider the differences , which are automorphisms of . By the previous lemma, this is a 2-Cech cocycle with values in the sheaf defined as above, over the open cover . (One should check that it is actually a 2- cocycle, but this is formal.)
Now, if it were a boundary, then we would be done and we could make the lifting. For if we have a 1-cochain in , this would be a collection of automorphisms of each such that, for each triple , one has:
The point is now that if this 2-cocycle is a coboundary, then we can use the to modify the transition maps (by, say, precomposition) so as to have satisfied the cocycle condition. In particular, if the Cech of this sheaf vanishes with respect to the open cover , the lifting exists.
Note that this is a good Cech cover of because is separated and eaech is affine. It follows that if is of dimension one and , then the lifting exists.
Corollary 9Let be a smooth curve. Let be a DVR with residue field and maximal ideal . Then there is a compatible system of smooth schemes .
4. From formal to actual
Let be a smooth curve. If is a complete DVR with residue field , then we have seen how to lift to a sequence of compatible smooth schemes by the previous section. Namely, we first lift to , lift that to , and continue repeatedly. This is still rather far from our ultimate goal, which is a smooth, proper scheme .
Now, with the mechanics of the lifting procedure behind us, we want to turn the system of schemes into an actual scheme. We have already stated that this is a so-called formal scheme, which we will denote by the symbol , and write formally
to indicate the system of maps . We shall think of formal schemes very naively; we do not need to worry about their general theory, so shall treat them as a black box here. We shall write , and similarly for for .
We now that one way of obtaining a formal scheme is to start with an actual scheme and consider each of the reductions mod . Such formal schemes are said to be algebrizable. This is the formal analog of complex analytic spaces that come from algebraic varieties. There are formal schemes, even proper ones, that are not algebrizable, so we are going to need a special tool in the case of curves.
That tool is:
Theorem 10Let be a complete local ring, a formal scheme. Suppose is proper. Suppose moreover there is a compatible system of line bundles on each such that is very ample on .Then there is a projective morphism , such that the “formal scheme” is obtained from : that is, is algebrizable.
This is a consequence of Grothendieck’s “formal GAGA” and appears in EGA III.5. We shall not prove this.
But we shall use it. Consider a formal scheme obtained by successively lifting a smooth proper curve over the residue field . Now is projective, so it has a very ample line bundle on it. If we can lift this to each , then the above result will imply that the formal scheme is algebrizable, and then we will have lifted to characteristic zero.
Here the fact that we are in dimension one saves us (again!), because we can successively lift the ample line bundle step by step. We use:
Lemma 11Let be a scheme of dimension one, a closed subscheme defined by an ideal of square zero. Then the map is surjective.
Proof: Suppose is defined by the ideal of square zero. There is an exact sequence
where the first map sends . This is a general fact about rings, even. Now since (and similarly for ), the long exact sequence in cohomology and gives the result.
It follows that we can lift the sequence of smooth schemes to a projective scheme . The only thing left to see is that is smooth over . This follows because it is smooth on the special fiber: indeed, one checks flatness by the infinitesimal criterion. It is a general fact that if is a finite-type morphism of noetherian schemes, and is such that the fiber is smooth over and is flat at , then is smooth at . With this in mind, it is clear that is smooth on the specific fiber.
But this means in particular that is smooth everywhere! Indeed, the smooth locus of a morphism is always open. Let be the collection of points where is not smooth. Then the image of is closed because is proper over , but this image does not contain the closed point; as a result, it is empty. So is -smooth.
This completes the proof that smooth curves can be lifted to characteristic zero. | {

Q:
Visual Scripting vs Coding
Happy Thanksgiving,
First of All, I have been searching to know if Visual Scripting is a new thing that have been made for game engines.
Let me show you some example of visual Scripting
the other thing is just regular coding like writing c++ code in IDE
now I tried both of them but the question that I have been trying to figure out is,
since I tried both of them it seems visual scripting is more easier, and more understandable for at least me I feel it makes sense when I connect nodes comparing it with when I am writing a code some thing like "Player controller"
I will tell you how long it took me to write an enemy controller !
writing code for player controller in c++ it took me about 2 hours
whereas it took me only one hour connecting nodes to make a player controller using visual scripting it , but even though it was an easy process and fast, I did not feel good about it, and I started to think more about what would be the advantage of writing c++ code rather than just connecting nodes?
so here is the question:
What are the advantages of writing code ?
what are the advantages of using Visual script?
What are the disadvantages of both of them?
I know this
advantages of Visual Scripting it is not as complicated as writing c++ code
Also would writing code be faster than the "already created scripts"(Visual Scripts)
Last question if you have to choose between both what would you choose Visual or writing code?
Note: I decided to ask the question here instead of game engine websites, is because here where I can find "Programmers" where in most games engine websites they all prefer the "happy way" as they call it which is (visual scripting) not the "sad way" which is (writing code)
I hope this time I did not ask some "bad" question that will result in too many negative votes :) be easy on me it is Thanksgiving ;)
Update:
Here is some more information about the Visual Scripting that I am using in Unreal engine I got it from Unreal Engine website
"The Blueprints visual scripting system in Unreal Engine is a complete gameplay scripting system based on the concept of using a node-based interface to create gameplay elements from within Unreal Editor. This system is extremely flexible and powerful as it provides the ability for designers to use virtually the full range of concepts and tools generally only available to programmers.
Through the use of Blueprints, designers can prototype, implement, or modify virtually any gameplay element, such as:
Games - set up game rules, tweak gameplay conditions, etc.
Players - create variants with different meshes and Materials or character customization.
Cameras - prototype new camera perspectives or change the camera dynamically during play.
Input - change the player controls or allow players to pass input to items.
Items - weapons, spells, pickups, triggers, etc.
Environments - create randomized props or procedurally-generated items."
I do not think there is such a thing like if you have to make something complicated you need to write code for it (my opinion)
A:
If you look at UML, it is a modelling language that pretty much encompasses everything you can do with code, and it is great for modelling a system, however it falls short when used for program generation. Basically it takes a lot more diagramming, and a lot more diagrams, to describe really complex interactions than it does to write the equivalent code.
Take a simple 5 way switch statement. Easy to write, complicated to draw. Modelling different path-ways through a system can become very cumbersome, very quickly.
The drag-drop-connect model of code generation works very well when there is a simple data pathway, but once you are talking complex interactions between state machines, it becomes quite complex. In the past I've noticed these sort of Visual Modelling system end up with scripting on the connections to cater for the complexity, which often ends up making them more difficult to understand than straight code, and much harder to find where things are happening.
Finally, the higher level the language, the more trade-offs you have to make in terms of performance and control. So the more important these are, the lower the level of language of choice. If you are writing a highly time critical device driver function, you may end up writing assembler, while a high level menuing system for automation can happily be written in a scripting language. A visual language is a very high level language, so the trade-offs are likely to be quite high. However, the time to market tends to go down the higher the language level. So how much time and effort you want to put into something also becomes a factor.
A:
Visual Scripting is often used in many game engines like Unity, Construct 2, Unreal Engine etc.
Why is that? Because it's much easier.
Code written in VS is easier to understand, often single node can replace 100 lines of normal code.
To add to that, it's much more understandable, it's easier to get your head on what's going on. More importantly, it's easy to learn so a person with small knowledge can actually use it. There's a lot of stuff going on behind such scripts and you actually don't need to know what's happening to use it.
When you type normal code, you need to know what you are doing, it allows skilled user for far more flexibility and performance (visual scripting often lacks this). Although it's much harder to organize such projects, and code can get easily out of hand. But yeah, performance and flexibility, that's a REALLY big thing.
For example, in some engines you can just write Player Jump or something like this, and you dont care how it is happening, you dont even have to know the game mechanics, physics mechanics etc.
If I had to chose one, I would pick depending on a project. It's the same question as:
If you could create a game in Game Engine or create it from scratch with code, which one would you chose?
All of us have their own preferences. Big companies tend to create their own technology and engines so that they can work faster, and to make the work easier.
So the Adv/Disadv:
VS:
+ Rapid development
+ Easy to maintain
+ Easy to learn
+ Easy to work on in a team
+ Often portable
+ Hidden a lot of stuff that you dont have to care about
+ Much more clear
+ Often doesnt contain "code errors"
+ Clumsy-friendly (you wont forget that semicolon)
- Lack of flexibility
- You dont really know what is happening
- You will learn how to solve a problem but you wont be able to do it outside of specific engine
- Often is much slower than code
- You cant do performance updates
- Engine dependent (each uses other way of coding)
- You need to learn how each engine works
- If there is an engine bug, you cant fix , you have to wait for patch
- They are often paid, or they lack possibilities
- Oh right, limited possibilities
Code:
+ Allows you to learn how to actually do something
+ Give you way more possibilities
+ If you learn how to code, you can code anything
(if you learn engine scripting you are limited to it, you wont write any other application than game)
+ Basically no limits (outside of technical stuff)
+ If you learn 1 language, its much easier to understand any other modern language
+ You are actually in control of what is happening
+ Gives you true knowledge about how to write algorithms and program stuff
+ Code is independent of companies
+ Most things are free
+ It can be MUCH faster than scripting
- Harder to learn advanced stuff
- Harder to maintain big projects
- You are able to be clumsy and destroy stuff
- Often hard for others to understand
- Not as clear as Visual Scripting
- At some point its hard to maintain
- Lots of platform dependent stuff
- To actually do something you need to learn pretty decent amount of things
The choice really depends on situation, company, team preferences, deadline, platform, objectives etc.
I hope I kind of sorted it out for you : ).
A:
"Visual Programming" is neither a "new" concept, nor new to game programming.
It's also a very broad concept: the idea of "visual programming" has many applications in many different domains.
You've mentioned "game programming". Another is "education". For example:

Case studies in breakthrough pain.
To illustrate the variable presentations of and treatments for breakthrough pain (BTP). Five cases of BTP were selected by the author, and treatment options were then considered. Breakthrough pain presents in many different ways in clinical practice. Clinicians must first evaluate patients to identify the subtype, etiology, severity, and pattern of BTP, and then use that information to suggest appropriate interventions. Whenever possible, correctable causes of BTP should first be addressed. A variety of treatment tools are available, including opioid analgesics, nonopioid analgesics, adjuvant agents, nonpharmacologic strategies, and procedural and surgical interventions. In many cases, more than one treatment option will be appropriate, but in all cases, regular communication between patient and clinician will be needed to achieve optimal control of BTP. Treatment of BTP should be individualized by using a multidisciplinary approach to address each patient's pain profile. | {

Q:
Forcing the Browser Back a Page
I was wondering if there was any way through php or javascript I could tell the browser to go back to the page it came from, or even better not load the page at all (the later being probably impossible).
The reason for this is that I have written a small php script that will take parameters from the url and post a tweet for me discreetly while I am at work.
ex.
tweet.php?user=myname&pass=mypass&message=My message goes here
Though it works, I get stuck with a white page. It would be nice if I could have the browser go back to the page it was just on, so the pause between work would be minimal.
Thank you for the help!
A:
javascript: history.go(-1);
A:
The JavaScript function for this is window.back(). Have your PHP script produce something like the following to have browsers automatically "bounced back" to the submitting page:
<html>
<head>
<title>Success</title>
</head>
<body onload="window.back()">
<h1>Success</h1>
</body>
</html>
Non-JS browsers will see a "success" message, JS browsers will get bounced back.

ieReads + FedEx Supply Chain = Olympian Organizers
ieReads + FedEx Supply Chain = Olympian Organizers
Feb 1, 2019
Foothill Family Shelter process group workshops occur Thursday nights and parents are invited to bring their children, however, there is not always a volunteer designated to oversee the children. ieReads is working to place a regular volunteer to read to children attending these workshops, however,before this can occur, over 1,000 books needed to be sorted and organized so that the ieReads volunteer would be able to effectively read age appropriate books to the children. For this special ieReads volunteer opportunity, 7 amazing and cheerful volunteers from FedEx Supply Chain in Fontana, California helped sort and label over 500 books for the children's rooms. Now, the participating children will receive additional literacy programming from the ieReads program, which is working to ensure that more children in the Inland Empire are reading at grade level by the end of the 3rd grade. Thank you FedEx Supply Chain! | {

Q:
Change CSS of Dynamic buttons
I have the follow and is able to do the alert. How can I change the class of the button selected?
$('body').on("click", "button[name=likebtn]", function (){
alert($(this).attr("value"));
$(this).toggleClass('btn btn-mini likebtn');
// OR
$(this).addClass('btn btn-mini likebtn').removeClass('btn btn-mini btn-primary likebtn');
});
The buttons are dynamically output:
$('#div').append("<button class='btn btn-mini btn-primary likebtn' name='likebtn' type='button' value='"+obj.value+"'>"+"LIKE"+"</button>");
I tried the following but failed:
A:
Maybe you should use removeClass() before addClass()
$(this).removeClass('btn-primary').addClass('btn btn-mini likebtn');
Because you add btn btn-mini likebtn by .addClass('btn btn-mini likebtn') and then you remove them by calling .removeClass('btn btn-mini btn-primary likebtn');
EDIT: If you want to remove btn-primary class only:
$('button[name=likebtn]').on("click", function (){
// ...
$(this).removeClass('btn-primary');
});

Q:
Why must x and y coordinates be initialized inside paintComponent()?
Exercise1609: Write a program that draws line segments using the arrow keys. The line starts from the center of the frame and draws towards east,north, west, or south when the right-arrow key, up-arrow key, left-arrow key, or down-arrow key is pressed. In short, draw a maze. See comments below for a description of my question.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class Exercise1609 extends JFrame {
private KeyboardPanel panel = new KeyboardPanel();
public Exercise1609() {
add(panel);
panel.setFocusable(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Exercise1609 frame = new Exercise1609();
frame.setTitle("Tegn med piltaster");
frame.setSize(600, 300);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
//The panel that listens for key and responds by drawing
public static class KeyboardPanel extends JPanel {
private int x,y,previousX,previousY;
private boolean firstTime = true;
public KeyboardPanel() {
/**
* why must x and y be initialized inside paintComponent?
* if I want to start drawing from the middle of the panel?
* If I remove the if-block inside paintComponent and instead
* place the initialization here, as shown with the two lines below:
* x = previousX = getWidth() / 2;
* y = previousY = getHeight() / 2;
* ...then the program will not start to draw from the middle,
* but upper left corner of the screen
*/
addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
@Override
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
previousY = y;
previousX = x;
switch (e.getKeyCode()) {
case KeyEvent.VK_DOWN:
y++;
break;
case KeyEvent.VK_UP:
y--;
break;
case KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT:
x++;
break;
case KeyEvent.VK_LEFT:
x--;
break;
}
repaint();
}
});
}//end constructor
@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponents(g);
if(firstTime) {
//Why can't x and y be initialized outiside paintComponent?
//Why can't they be initialized inside the constructor of this class?
x = previousX = getWidth() / 2;
y = previousY = getHeight() / 2;
firstTime = false;
}
g.drawLine(previousX, previousY, x, y);
System.out.println(x + " " + y);
}
}
}
The last line System.out.println(x + " " + y); outputs 0,0 if I try to initialize x and y anywhere else
but paintComponent(). When initialized inside paintcomponent() the output is 292,131...which is what I want.
A:
getWidth() and getHeight() are not set correctly until the UI elements have gone through a layout pass. This is guaranteed to happen before paintComponent() is called but probably not at other points where you have tried to call them.
See: getWidth() and getHeight() are 0 after calling setPreferredSize()
If you need to be notified when the width and height of the component is set/changed, check out ComponentListener: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/event/ComponentListener.html

WASHINGTON: President Trump says he wants a second round of tax cuts. He says he is working on details now but expects his proposal to be ready by early this Fall. Maybe this proposal can fix the income tax problem once and for all. But to do that a single rate tax is necessary.
To determine what a plan to permanently fix the federal income tax code would look like, let’s first look at what the goals of income tax policy should be.
Income Tax Policy Goals
The first goal should be to enact a plan that raises sufficient revenue to cover all government spending which will eliminate the annual budget deficit. The tax plan should encourage economic growth, rather than placing burdens on growth. The plan should be as easy to administer as possible so that households could easily and without the advice of professionals, calculate their tax liability.
Any new plan should also not distort any markets by placing special taxes or subsidies on certain expenditures. The plan should be flexible enough so that changes could easily be made when economic conditions warrant. And lastly, perhaps most politically important, the plan should be viewed by taxpayers as being fair and equitable.
This is the only tax plan that can meet all of the goals, although there will be debate about the last goal.
Here’s the plan:
A single rate tax of 15 percent on all income above a livable minimum (twice the poverty level) with no deductions for anything. All income is treated the same whether earned from wages, rent, interest, profit, dividends or capital gains. The corporate tax rate is also 15%.
The plan is easy to administer.
For a family of four, the livable minimum would be about $50,000. If that household had total income of $70,000, they would subtract the livable minimum of $50,000 leaving a taxable balance of $20,000. Just multiple that by 15% and they would pay $3,000 in federal income tax. That’s it. Tax liability does not change no matter how that income was earned or how that income was disposed.
By eliminating all loopholes, this policy would treat every American exactly the same, giving no preferential treatment to anyone. Labor and capital taxes are at the same rate. The tax liability calculation is simple. No tax preparers are needed, and we have almost no need for the increasingly obtrusive IRS.
The plan would stimulate economic growth.
In the short term annual economic growth could increase to 5% or more. In the long term average annual economic growth would be at least ½% higher than the historical standard of about 3%.
The plan is approximately revenue neutral.
The plan may result in a slight decline in tax revenue in the first year or so. But then tax revenue would increase at a faster rate than the current tax code increases revenue, mostly because of the rapid economic growth.
The plan is flexible.
If Congress determines that fiscal policy action is necessary to stimulate future growth during a recession, the 15% rate could be lower for a short time. If Congress decided some taxpayers need credits, the livable minimum could be increased for say single mothers who need help with child care expenses.
The plan is (arguably) equitable.
This is the tough part. There are many different definitions for fair and equitable. This plan recognizes that households with low income are already pay 6.2% (really 12.4% counting the employer contribution) of wages to social security. American’s pay a sales tax on most consumption in 45 states. They pay hidden taxes on products like gasoline, liquor and tobacco.
There are also property taxes if they own a home or higher rents to cover the property taxes if they rent a home. They pay a state income tax in 43 states. They really can’t afford to pay any federal income tax. This plan allows them to earn up to a livable minimum before they pay any income tax at all.
15 Cents on the dollars for everyone
Above the livable minimum, each income earner will pay 15 cents of every dollar earned. The other 85 cents goes to the household.
Most people would say that for a tax plan to be fair, tax liability should increase as income increases. In other words the highest income earners should pay the most. With this plan tax liability increases proportionately as income increases.
That means the highest income earners will pay the most income taxes. With the current progressive system today, tax liability rises disproportionately as income rises. Many argue that is not fair and equitable.
This bold, yet relatively simple tax plan meets all of the goals. | {

Q:
SO Question mysteriously converted to community wiki
Elegant ways to support equivalence ("equality") in Python classes
The question has not met any of the requirements to become community wiki. Oddly, the revision history now states that the question was turned into a community wiki question immediately upon posting, yet I don't recall having posted this question as community wiki; I'm certain I gained reputation points from upvotes and accepting an answer. Why is the state of this question different now?
A:
I'm certain you accidentally marked it as Community Wiki when you first asked it. According to the timeline of the question, you got upvotes as early as the day you posted it. Your reputation graph from your profile page, however, lists no reputation gain for that question during that period. If you double-check your reputation audit, I'm sure you'll find post 390250 to be equally devoid of reputation change.
As a comparison, my answer here was converted to Community Wiki after it already received 4 votes. My reputation graph also indicates the 40 reputation earned from those.
The syntax is unusual, but observing a couple of other 2008 Community Wikis, it seems this was how Community Wiki was performed back then.

Big Eight Conference
The Big Eight Conference was a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)-affiliated Division I-A college athletic association that sponsored football. It was formed in January 1907 as the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MVIAA) by its charter member schools: the University of Kansas, University of Missouri, University of Nebraska, and Washington University in St. Louis. Additionally, the University of Iowa was an original member of the MVIAA, while maintaining joint membership in the Western Conference (now the Big Ten Conference).
The conference was dissolved in 1996. Its membership at its dissolution consisted of the University of Nebraska, Iowa State University, the University of Colorado at Boulder, the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, the University of Missouri, the University of Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State University. The Big Eight kept its headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri.
In February 1994, the Big Eight and the Southwest Conference announced that the two leagues had reached an agreement to form a new conference. The eight members of the Big Eight joined with SWC schools Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor, and Texas Tech to form the Big 12 Conference the following year. A vote was conducted on whether to keep the new conference's headquarters in Kansas City, and by a vote of 7–5 the conference members voted to move to Irving, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. The two Oklahoma schools, all four Texas schools, and Colorado voted for the move while both Kansas schools, Nebraska, Missouri, and Iowa State voted for Kansas City.
History
Formation
The conference was founded as the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MVIAA) at a meeting on January 12, 1907, by five charter members: the University of Kansas, the University of Missouri, the University of Nebraska, Washington University in St. Louis. The University of Iowa who was also a member of the Western Conference (now the Big Ten Conference) was also a joint member of the conference. Iowa only participated in football and outdoor men's track and field.
Early membership changes
In 1908, Drake University and Iowa Agricultural College (now Iowa State University) joined the MVIAA, increasing the conferences membership to seven. Iowa who was a joint member departed in 1911 to only compete in the Western Conference, but Kansas State University joined the conference in 1913. Nebraska left in 1918 to play as an independent for two seasons before returning in 1920. In 1919, the University of Oklahoma and Saint Louis University applied for membership, but were disapproved due to deficient management of their athletic programs. The conference then added Grinnell College in 1919, with the University of Oklahoma applying again and being approved in 1920. Oklahoma A&M University (now Oklahoma State University) joined in 1925, bringing conference membership to ten, an all-time high.
Conference split
At a meeting in Lincoln, Nebraska, on May 19, 1928, the conference split up. Six of the seven state schools (all except Oklahoma A&M) formed a conference that was initially known as the Big Six Conference. Just before the start of fall practice, the six schools announced they would retain the MVIAA name for formal purposes. However, fans and media continued to call it the Big Six. The three private schools – Drake, Grinnell, and Washington University – joined with Oklahoma A&M to form the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC). The old MVIAA's administrative staff transferred to the MVC.
The similarity of the two conferences' official names, as well as the competing claims of the two conferences, led to considerable debate over which conference was the original and which was the spin-off, though the MVIAA went on to become the more prestigious of the two. For the remainder of the Big Eight's run, both conferences claimed 1907 as their founding date, as well as the same history through 1927. To this day, it has never been definitively established which conference was the original.
Conference membership grew with the addition of the University of Colorado on December 1, 1947, from the Mountain States Conference. Later that month, Reaves E. Peters was hired as "Commissioner of Officials and Assistant Secretary" and set up the first conference offices in Kansas City, Missouri. With the addition of Colorado, the conference's unofficial name became the Big Seven Conference, coincidentally, the former unofficial name of the MSC.
The final membership change happened ten years later, when Oklahoma A&M joined (or rejoined, depending on the source) the conference on June 1, 1957, and the conference became known as the Big Eight. That same year, Peters' title was changed to "Executive Secretary" of the conference. He retired in June 1963 and was replaced by Wayne Duke, whose title was later changed to "Commissioner".
In 1964, the conference legally assumed the name "Big Eight Conference". In 1968 the conference began a long association with the Orange Bowl, sending its champion annually to play in the prestigious bowl game in Miami, Florida.
Formation of the Big 12 Conference
In the early 1990s, most of the colleges in Division I-A (now known as the Football Bowl Subdivision) were members of the College Football Association; this included members of the Big Eight and Southwest Conferences. Following a Supreme Court decision in 1984, the primary function of the CFA was to negotiate television broadcast rights for its member conferences and independent colleges. In February 1994, the Southeastern Conference announced that they, like the Big Ten, Pac-10, and Notre Dame before them, would be leaving the CFA and negotiate independently for a television deal that covered SEC schools only. This led The Dallas Morning News to proclaim that "the College Football Association as a television entity is dead". More significantly, this change in television contracts ultimately would lead to significant realignment of college conferences, with the biggest change being the dissolution of the Big Eight and the Southwest Conferences and the formation of the Big 12.
After the SEC's abandonment of the CFA, the Southwest Conference and the Big Eight Conference saw potential financial benefits from an alliance to negotiate television deals, and quickly began negotiations to that end, with ABC and ESPN. Though there were complications over the next several weeks (some of which are detailed below), on February 25, 1994, it was announced that a new conference would be formed from the members of the Big Eight and four of the Texas member colleges of the Southwest Conference. Though the name would not be made official for several months, newspaper accounts immediately dubbed the new entity the "Big 12". Charter members of the Big 12 included the members of the Big Eight plus Baylor, Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech.
Dissolution
Following the formation of the Big 12 Conference in 1994, the Big Eight continued operations till August 30, 1996, when the conference was formally dissolved and its members officially began competition in the Big 12 Conference.
Although the Big 12 was essentially the Big Eight plus the four Texas schools, the Big 12 regards itself as a separate conference and does not claim the Big Eight's history as its own.

Subsequent conference affiliations
Colorado left the Big 12 for the Pac-12 beginning with the 2011–12 season.
Drake withdrew from the Missouri Valley Conference from 1951–1956. The MVC stopped sponsoring football in 1985; Drake remains a member for all non-football sports. The football program dropped to Division III in 1987, playing as an independent until a change in NCAA rules forced the program to play in Division I. When the new rule took effect in 1993, Drake joined the newly formed Pioneer League, a football-only league playing at the FCS level that prohibits the awarding of football scholarships.
Grinnell joined the Midwest Collegiate Athletic Conference beginning with the 1939–40 season; their affiliation from 1928–1939 is unclear. The MCAC merged with the Midwest Athletic Conference for Women to form the Midwest Conference beginning with the 1994–95 season.
Missouri left the Big 12 for the SEC beginning with the 2012–13 season.
Nebraska left the Big 12 for the Big Ten beginning with the 2011–12 season.
Washington University left the MVC in 1946; it joined the College Athletic Conference from 1962 through 1971, and became a charter member of the University Athletic Association, which began play with the 1986–87 season. It was independent in all other years. Washington University is now a football-only affiliate member of the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin.

Football
Shared championships are shown in italics:
† Kansas would have won the 1960 title, but after found to be using an ineligible player they were forced to forfeit their victories over Missouri and Colorado, which meant that Missouri was awarded the 1960 Big Eight title.
‡ Oklahoma initially won the 1972 title, but after it was found that they used ineligible players, they were penalized by the NCAA, though they did not force OU to forfeit games. The Big Eight asked them to forfeit three games and awarded the title to Nebraska, but Oklahoma still claims these wins and this title.

National team titles by institution
The national championships listed below are for the final eight members of the conference, as of July 2014. Football, Helms, and equestrian titles are included in the total, but excluded from the column listing NCAA and AIAW titles.
Racial integration
The history of the Big Eight Conference straddles the era of racial segregation in the United States, particularly as it relates to African Americans.
Before the formation of the conference, three African-American brothers at the University of Kansas are the first known to have participated in organized sports for a league school: Sherman Haney played baseball for KU beginning in 1888, followed by Grant Haney and then Ed Haney, the last of whom also played football at KU in 1893. At the same time, the University of Nebraska football team had on its roster George Flippin, the son of a slave, beginning in 1891. Nebraska's football team featured three more African-American players over the next 12 years. Notable among these NU players was Clinton Ross, who in 1911 apparently became the first African-American to participate in sport in the MVIAA, following the league's formation in 1907.
Race relations in the United States, however, deteriorated in the early 20th century, and African-American athletes disappeared almost entirely from the conference in the four decades after Ross's final season at NU in 1913. The lone exception during the following decades was Iowa State. In 1923 Jack Trice became the first African-American athlete at Iowa State – and the only one in the conference. Tragically, Trice died two days after playing his second football game with Iowa State, due to injuries suffered during the game (against Minnesota). Jack Trice Stadium at Iowa State is now named in his honor. Trice was followed at Iowa State by Holloway Smith, who played football for ISU in 1926 and 1927. After Smith, the league's teams were all-white for more than two decades. (During this time all of the major professional sports leagues in the U.S. were also segregated.)
Modern era
The modern era of full integration of league sports began at Kansas State, with Harold Robinson. In 1949, Harold Robinson played football for Kansas State with an athletic scholarship. In doing so, Robinson broke the modern "color barrier" in conference athletics, and also became the first ever African-American athlete on scholarship in the conference. Harold Robinson later received a letter of congratulations from Jackie Robinson, who had reintegrated major league baseball in 1947 while playing with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
In the spring of 1951 the conference's baseball color barrier was broken by Kansas State's Earl Woods, and in the winter of 1951–1952 Kansas State's Gene Wilson and Kansas's LaVannes C. Squires jointly broke the conference color barrier in basketball.
Nebraska was the third league school to (re)integrate its athletic teams, with Charles Bryant joining the football team in 1952. Iowa State would be next, with Harold Potts and Henry Philmon reintegrating the Cyclone football team in 1953. The following season, Franklin Clarke became the first varsity African-American football player at the University of Colorado. In 1955, Homer Floyd became the first African-American to play football for the KU Jayhawks since Ed Haney in 1893. Sports teams at the remaining three conference schools (Oklahoma, Missouri and Oklahoma State) were subsequently all integrated by the end of the 1950s. Most notably, Prentice Gautt became the first black player for Bud Wilkinson at Oklahoma in 1956.

According to the prior art, the preparation required to reuse liposuctioned material involves the separation of the vital cell component to be re-injected from the waste material composed of anesthetic liquid or biological fluids (serum or blood) from cell debris and oil resulting from the rupture of suctioned adipocytes.
Such separation may occur within the syringe that is used for withdrawal, or in special containers, essentially in three manners:
by settling: the materials separate due to differences in density under gravity,
by centrifugation: the materials separate due to differences in density under the effect of a centrifugal force,
by washing: the lipoaspirate is placed in a thin-mesh strainer and washed, generally with a saline, that may be progressively replaced or not.
According to the best known technique (Coleman lipostructure), the syringes containing the lipoaspirate are closed at the bottom by a luer-lock cap, and are placed in a centrifuge for separating the liquid phase from the solid biological material.
Before using the biological material so obtained, the anesthetic and biological liquids left on the bottom of the syringe after centrifugation must be manually drained by removing the luer-lock cap from the syringe and causing them to flow out by gravity, whereas the cell fragments and oil resulting from the breaking of the cell walls of adipocytes lie on the cell material to be transplanted and are removed in an incomplete and rudimentary manner, using gauzes that partially absorb the excess oil and often make the last part of the suctioned material unusable.
The above described technique suffers from a number of drawbacks.
First, the step of suction and separation by centrifugation causes a considerable amount of adipocytes to break and release a significant amount of oil, which cannot completely removed with the Coleman technique, and makes a significant portion of the lipoaspirate unusable, that is, the portion of cell material that, after centrifugation, is located on the upper part of the syringe barrel, in contact with oil, and hence is contaminated by said oil.
This is because the presence of oil in the biological filler to be injected increases the risk of infections and rejections and causes increased inflammations.
Furthermore, the above described process involves multiple contacts of the liposuctioned material with surfaces of various types of instruments, as well as long-time contact with air in a potentially non-sterile environment, whereby use thereof in an operating room is recommended.
A technique is also known but rarely used, which involves mechanical fragmentation of the suctioned cell agglomerate using a blender, whose cutting blades separate fat lobules and provide an injectable cell suspension.
This fragmentation technique has many drawbacks.
First, the fragmentation step, which is followed by centrifugation, causes a considerable amount of adipocytes to break, which causes more than half of the liposuctioned material to be unusable for later aesthetic treatments. As a direct result, an increased number of liposuction sessions are required to compensate for this loss of material occurring during preparation of the material to be transplanted, with increased discomfort for patients.
Furthermore, the quantity of usable cell suspension that can be obtained using the above described procedure and devices largely depends on the skill of the health care staff in setting the speed and operating time parameters of the blender and the centrifuge and on the conditions of the instruments: an excessive rotation speed of the blades or the use, for example, of a blender with poorly cutting blades does not cause separation of fat lobules, but rather the mechanical break of the cell walls of a large amount of adipocytes, which involves oil formation and makes the cell suspension unusable, in addition to requiring accurate separation of the cell fragments and oil from the suspension. This is because the presence of oil in the biological filler to be injected increases the risk of infections and rejections.
Furthermore, the above described process involves multiple contacts of the liposuctioned material with surfaces of various types of instruments, as well as some contact with air in a non perfectly sterile environment, as is the case of doctor's offices. Since the material is of biological nature, extended contact with air or with multiple instruments, that may even not be perfectly sterile, increases the risk of bacterial or viral contamination, and may jeopardize treatment results.
The technique that involves washing through a strainer also has certain drawbacks.
Particularly the strainer net may easily become clogged with the liposuctioned material, which requires a manual action to remove fat from the meshes, thereby slowing down the preparation process and especially increasing the risk of contamination of the material to be injected.
The use of a simple strainer does not allow the liposuctioned material to be constantly maintained in a closed and perfectly sterile environment throughout the preparation process, i.e. from the liposuction step to the injection step.
Patent documents are known which disclose cell isolating devices.
The international application WO 2009/073724 discloses a method and an apparatus for isolating cells from lipoaspirate.
Particularly, it discloses a method for separating the adipocyte and oil fraction from the non-fat cell fraction in a lipoaspirate.
In order to obtain lipids and adipocytes that float on a cell solution of interest and other small cells within a container defined as “separation chamber”, the adipose tissue is placed in a digestion chamber, and forced through a filter and through a head having pores into said “chamber”.
The steps of washing the tissue, removing excess liquids, enzymatic digestion, antibiotic addition and cell selection may occur in a container defined as “digestion chamber”. The digestion chamber may contain a filter that retains the tissue but allows the passage of dissociated cells and fluids. An aqueous emulsion containing adipocyte lipids is formed in this chamber.
The dissociated material in the digestion chamber may pass through a dispersing filter with pores smaller than the pores on the dispersing head contained in the first “separation chamber”. This filter 115 is used to prevent clogging of the pores of the dispersing head.
In the “separation chamber” the lipids and adipocytes are separated from the cell population.
The device provides a cell population from a tissue without using the centrifuge but by forcing the solution through filters with pores of various sizes.
Said device is particularly complex in terms of construction, as shown in the figures.
Furthermore, the many passages of the organic material through chambers and filters extend the duration of the method, and expose the organic material to contamination risks.
Also, the complexity of the method and device make them unsuitable for use, for instance, in out-patient environments, which require quick preparation of injectable material from lipoaspirate and quick performance of face and body defect correction without the assistance of particularly specialized staff.
Furthermore, in this method, emulsions are formed using chemicals and not only through the use of mechanical means and forces.
US Application 2007/0274960 discloses a method of preparing a stem cell-containing composition. In order to prepare a stem cell population, in certain embodiments the liposuctioned adipose tissue is physically treated, i.e. cut or minced into smaller pieces, and undergoes enzymatic treatment, which facilitates release of the cells of interest from the other tissue components.
Therefore US 2007/0274960 allows the adipose tissue to be divided into smaller pieces by forcing it through an array of screens, to obtain smaller portions of uniform sizes, that can undergo enzymatic treatment in a more uniform manner, thereby providing a quicker release of stem cells and reducing the contact time between the released cells and the enzyme solution.
According to this patent, an emulsion of adipose tissue may be prepared using a perfluorocarbon solution, which emulsion is separable from the stem cells of interest.
The patent does not include the preparation of an emulsion of liquids that can be mechanically separated from lipid cells or small cell agglomerates.
The container that contains the cutting means cannot be also used for injecting adipose tissue into a patient. U.S. Pat. No. 6,020,196 discloses a method for collecting microvascular endothelial cells.
The patent describes a method of treating suctioned adipose tissue, which adipose tissue, suctioned by a syringe with a cannula having apertures of such a size as to minimize stresses on cell components and to obtain a homogeneous adipose tissue, is forced from one syringe to another through a filter (74) located between the suction ports of the two syringes.
By pulling the pistons of the syringes, the suctioned adipose tissue is homogenized by being forced through the filter from one syringe to another.
A lower viscosity of the suctioned material allows easier removal of the contaminants and improved digestion of the sample, for obtaining endothelial cells.
The method as disclosed in this patent suffers from certain drawbacks that make it unsuitable for use in the preparation of injectable fat, because:
the filter may become clogged by the adipose tissue: the filter-holding device forms a restriction in the flow line from one syringe to the other; the clogged filter obstructs the passage of adipose tissue from one syringe to the other and requires disconnection of the syringe and replacement of the filter to continue adipose tissue washing; due to these steps, the preparation of an emulsion of solid and liquid components becomes difficult and time-consuming and the organic material is exposed to contamination;
the passage through the filter meshes for disintegration of the connective tissue also leads to the break of adipocytes, with formation of excess oil and the need for a later accurate separation of intact fat cells from oil.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,020,196 provides a homogenate from which endothelial cells may be extracted with the addition of collagenase and centrifugation, hence through the combination of chemical and physical actions. The patent does not involve the formation of an emulsion of liquid components upon which lipid cells or small agglomerates of lipid cells obtained from liposuctioned adipose tissue may float, which cells are directly injectable, after appropriate treatment, into a patient, without requiring particular sterile conditions of the environments, e.g. without requiring a perfectly sterile operating room.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,020,196 does not involve the possibility of providing a single device that, through a few simple treatment steps, allows preparation of the liposuctioned material and collection and temporary storage of fat, until reinjection.
Patent application US 2003/0100105 discloses an apparatus for extracting cells from organs. The apparatus includes a digestion chamber containing the organ and protease, and agitation means, such as balls having at least one cavity, which balls only act upon the organ. | {

AFFIRM; and Opinion Filed April 2, 2014.
S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-13-01152-CR
MARIO ALVERTO RODRIGUEZ, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 5
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F-0637100-L
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Bridges, O’Neill, and Brown
Opinion by Justice O’Neill
Appellant Mario Alverto Rodriguez pleaded guilty to the felony offense of DWI third on
September 20, 2006. On November 21, 2006, the trial court sentenced him to ten years’
confinement, probated for five years, a $1,000 fine, and $12,000 in restitution. The State filed a
motion to revoke probation on March 29, 2010. Another motion to revoke probation was filed
on March 31, 2011 and capias was issued. The motion and capias were served on appellant on
May 22, 2013. On July 12, 2013, the trial court revoked appellant’s community supervision and
sentenced him to four years’ imprisonment. In a single issue, appellant argues the trial court was
without jurisdiction at the time it revoked his probation because his five-year probation period
had expired. We affirm.
To support his argument on appeal, appellant alleges, “At the time of his hearing upon
the motion to revoke probation, it appears that no arrest warrant had been filed pursuant to the
most recent motion to revoke.” Appellant is incorrect.
Article 42.12 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure sets out the law with respect to
community supervision. TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. ART. 42.12 (West 2013). The relevant
section regarding a trial court’s jurisdiction provides the following:
(e) A court retains jurisdiction to hold a hearing under
Subsection (b-2) and to revoke, continue, or modify community
supervision, regardless of whether the period of community
supervision imposed on the defendant has expired, if before the
expiration the attorney representing the state files a motion to
revoke, continue, or modify community supervision and a capias is
issued for arrest of the defendant.
TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 42.12, §21(e).
Appellant’s five-year period of community supervision began on November 21, 2006 and
expired on November 20, 2011. See Nesbit v. State, 227 S.W.3d 64, 69 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007)
(holding the term of community supervision begins on the day of sentencing and expires on the
day before the anniversary date); see also State v. Crecy, No. 05-11-01003-CR, 2012 WL
2106534, at *2 (Tex. App.—Dallas June 12, 2012, pet. ref’d) (mem. op., not designated for
publication). The State filed a motion to revoke community supervision and issued capias on
March 31, 2011, which fell within the trial court’s jurisdiction under article 42.12, section 21(e).
Thus, the trial court retained jurisdiction over this case and properly revoked appellant’s
community supervision.

Appellant’s sole issue is overruled, and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

FOX president talks Mariah Carey, ‘Fringe’
FOX’s President of Entertainment, Kevin Reilly, got the network portion of the Television Critics Association summer tour to a positive start. The TV executive has every right to be positive as FOX has had ratings hits with shows like “American Idol” and “The X-Factor.” The network failed to make any waves in the drama category of the recent Emmy nominations. He wouldn’t say which new shows had the potential to change that next year but expects FOX to see more success with its dramas.
During his announcement that Mariah Carey would become a judge on “American Idol,” Reilly called the singer and put her on speaker. Carey said, “I am so excited to be doing ‘Idol.’ First of all, I wanted to be there today, and I wish I could have been there myself to tell you, but I think you know the show just sort of just happened quickly. So I can’t wait to get started in a couple months, and everybody have a great TCA, and I will see you in January.”
Here are a few other highlights from Reilly’s meeting with the TV critics:
On the upcoming season of “Glee”: “Now that I’ve read the first three scripts, I am very happy with how seamless it is. There’s going to be thematic links between the two. Although we have not severed relationships with anyone, obviously we’re not going to be servicing that large a tapestry of characters. We are adding some characters in New York. We’ve cast two guys already, one in New York, one in Ohio. We have fresh faces joining Ohio, so this is sort of the natural, almost a mirror of real life that people graduate and new faces come in. But I think also like real life, this is set in a small town in Ohio with very important and close relationships. Just as in real life, people tend to not stray too far away from that. Some people settle down in their hometowns. Some people go away, but they come back for holidays. They come back for reunions. And because we have a very good relationship with all the actors, some of whom have very vibrant careers now on the outside, the idea is to kind of keep that relationship where it can be fluid and for the audience in terms of who is going to show up when.”
On giving “Fringe” one final season: “I don’t like to just pull the plug on any show, because many of our failed shows, most of them have many, many millions of fans. But ‘Fringe’ has a particular fan base. We have a checkered history with genre at best because we’re one of the only networks that has consistently tried genre. Genre is hard. It’s been a really contemporary show for which most of the fans are there, but they’re there on their DVRs. I’m hoping this puts to bed the ‘ghost of Comic Con’ sentiment, if you will, which is, ‘Damn you, FOX. You put these shows on and then break our hearts.’ I think, at least hopefully, we’ve got a little bit of cred for seeing one through that really deserved it.”
On the affect of DVRs on ratings: “All of the top shows tend to shift in proportion. So what you’re seeing right now is the penetration of DVRs particularly, and the demo has now gotten around 50% and you’re watching people learn how to use them, and that’s the way they like to watch television. So we’re not fighting that.”
On Britney Spears joining “The X Factor”: “I think they’re going to be surprised at just how feisty she is. She is not afraid to lay it on the line. She’s tough. She knows what she’s doing. She’s been around, she’s seen it all, and she definitely lays it on the line.” | {

The Road Apples
The Road Apples were an American pop rock group from [Boston Massachusets].Their lead singer/guitarist was David Finnerty. The other band members were Flip Morse (lead guitar and vocals), Bard Richmond (bass guitar and vocals), Jean-Do Sifantus (drums), and Chuck Eisenhardt (the original keyboard player, later replaced by Wally Baier). The group charted two singles on the Billboard Hot 100 in the mid-1970s. Their first single "Let's Live Together" rose to No. 35 on that chart. A follow-up release "Holding On" b/w "Good Lovin' Woman" also entered the Hot 100 and rose to No. 77. The Road Apples participated in the 'Partners of the Americas' program in 1976 and travelled to Colombia, in South America where they performed numerous free concerts for the people of Medellín and Cartegena.
The Road Apples lead singer and principal songwriter Finn Finnerty later formed 'The Joneses' and released a CD (Atlantic 1990) including a rock cover of "Let's Live Together".
The instrumental Version of their Song "Let's Live Together", was used as Backgroundmusic in a german Radiochartshow, called "WDR Schlagerrallye". WDR = Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WestgermannBroadcast)
