Touch, awareness of touch, and compliance with a request.
In certain situations it has been shown that touch has a positive effect on the compliance with a request expressed by a stranger. However, the difference between the effect of touch on request compliance between people who had noticed and those who had not noticed this contact has never been taken into account. In this experiment a female confederate asked 227 women to answer a questionnaire. When asking for their collaboration the forearm was or was not touched for a brief period of 1 to 2 seconds. Analysis showed that touch was associated with significantly higher compliance to the request but no difference was found between subjects who had noticed the tactual contact and subjects who had not noticed. | {

Q:
javamail fetch mail pop3 android
I want to fetch emails in android by using javamail.
but I encountered some problems.
in POP3, if I want to fetch the content of a certain mail, the javamail will download all the content of the mail including the attachments. if the attachments are large enough, the android program will throw oom exception. But I tried in IMAP protocal, it only fetch the skeleton of the content first and even if there are some large attachments, it works well.
so, how could I fetch the content of a certain email using pop3 protocal when there are large attachment in the email?
following codes work well with imap, but not with pop3.
public void getContent(Part part) throws Exception {
String contentType = part.getContentType();
int nameindex = contentType.indexOf("name");
boolean conname = false;
if (nameindex != -1)
conname = true;
if (part.isMimeType("text/plain") && !conname) {
bodytext.append((String) part.getContent());
} else if (part.isMimeType("text/html") && !conname) {
String html = (String) part.getContent();
Spanned plainText = Html.fromHtml(html);
bodytext.append(plainText);
} else if (part.isMimeType("multipart/*")) {
Multipart multipart = (Multipart) part.getContent();
int counts = multipart.getCount();
for (int i = 0; i < counts; i++) {
BodyPart mpart = multipart.getBodyPart(i);
Log.d("type,"," "+ i+mpart.getContentType());
String disposition = mpart.getDisposition();
if ((disposition != null)
&& ((disposition.equals(Part.ATTACHMENT)) || (disposition
.equals(Part.INLINE))))
continue;
String contype = mpart.getContentType();
if(contype.toLowerCase().indexOf("application")!=-1||contype.toLowerCase().indexOf("name")!=-1)
continue;
getContent(multipart.getBodyPart(i));
}
} else if (part.isMimeType("message/rfc822")) {
getContent((Part) part.getContent());
}
}
A:
I do not know the specifics of JavaMail, however:
IMAP provides methods in it's protocol for downloading MIME Parts of a message, allowing the message to be picked apart on the server and downloaded in parts.
POP3s basic protocol only has support for downloading the entire message. With the optional TOP extension, it will allow you to download the first n lines of a message.
If JavaMail has specific extensions to stream the download of a message to disk (rather than all in memory), that should allow you to get around your Out Of Memory error.

A biology teacher drowned her three-year-old daughter to “protect” her from her father after the breakdown of their marriage.
Claire Colebourn, 36, hit "rock bottom" after her high-flying husband Michael, who she met at university, ended their 16-year-relationship, a court heard.
She woke their daughter Bethan at their home in Fordingbridge, Hampshire, in the early hours of October 19 last year, led her to the bath and drowned her by holding her body down under the water, before making multiple suicide attempts.
She was found guilty of murder by a unanimous verdict at Winchester Crown Court yesterday and will be sentenced on Monday morning.
The ex-sixth form teacher initially denied all memory of the incident, but later recalled how Bethan agreed to have a bath in the middle of the night at her mother's instruction, telling police: "Sadly, my little girl trusted me completely." | {

RIP Lou Reed
"Her life was saved by rock & roll," is a sentiment felt by many of us at Berklee, which makes the October 27 death of Lou Reed, who penned those lyrics, particularly poignant.
The Velvet Underground, Reed's band with John Cale, Sterling Morrison, Maureen "Moe" Tucker and Nico, created the concept of the permanent underground in popular music, a destination unto itself rather than as a way station to mainstream fame. Reed sang overly of drugs ("Heroin") and sex ("Venus in Furs") when others had merely alluded to it. Brian Eno famously observed that few people bought their 1967 debut The Velvet Underground & Nico (CD 241), but “everyone who bought one of those 30,000 copies started a band.” Their intentional minimalism set the stage for punk, earning Reed the designation as a godfather of the genre. "Sweet Jane" from Loaded (CD 11410) contains the riff that launched a thousand ships. Their influence can be heard in every band that glorifies droning or that harnesses feedback, m b v (CD 35402) by My Bloody Valentine being just one of the most recent examples.
As a solo artist, Reed would have his biggest hit with "Walk on the Wild Side" from his 1972 album Transformer (CD 13384). 1975's Metal Machine Music (CD 23521) was notoriously unlistenable but showed his willingness to experiment. Reed continued to earn acclaim later in his career with albums such as New York (CD 219), which celebrated the grittiness of his home, Songs for Drella (CD 23523), his reunion with John Cale to pay homage to their deceased mentor Andy Warhol, and Magic & Loss (CD 464), a moving rumination on mortality inspired the cancer deaths of close friends.

In response to "numerous fan requests", Techland has announced Bad Blood—a battle royale-inspired PvP mode that's due next year. Independent of the developer's ongoing free DLC drive, Bad Blood is a standalone expansion.
Capitalising on the recent popularity of battle royale games , the incoming expansion will play into what makes the likes of PUBG and Fortnite Battle Royale work, while "retaining the core of what made people fall in love with Dying Light in the first place," so says Techland in a statement. In doing so, Bad Blood promises "violent and dynamic" online bouts that mix PvP with PvE mechanics.
"Our aim is both to satisfy players’ demands for competitive PvP gameplay and to explore new directions for Dying Light’s multiplayer experience," says Techland producer Tymon Smektala. "Since Bad Blood was inspired by fan requests, we want player feedback to be an integral part of our development. That's why we’re inviting Dying Light fans to take part in our Global Playtest. They can play the expansion early and share their thoughts, knowing their feedback will have a major influence on Bad Blood's development."
Bad Blood is for now without screens or moving pictures, however those interested can sign up for its global PC playtest in this direction.
Again, Dying Light: Bad Blood is due at some point in 2018. In the meantime, here's Chris' thoughts on the base game and its The Following expansion. | {

Evaluation of various biomarkers as potential mediators of the association between coffee consumption and incident type 2 diabetes in the EPIC-Potsdam Study.
The inverse association between coffee consumption and the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is well established; however, little is known about potential mediators of this association. We aimed to investigate the association between coffee consumption and diabetes-related biomarkers and their potential role as mediators of the association between coffee consumption and T2D. We analyzed a case-cohort study (subcohort: n = 1610; verified incident T2D cases: n = 417) nested within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition-Potsdam study involving 27,548 middle-aged participants. Habitual coffee consumption was assessed with a validated, semiquantitative food-frequency questionnaire. We evaluated the association between coffee consumption and several T2D-related biomarkers, such as liver markers (reflected by γ-glutamyltransferase, fetuin-A, and sex hormone-binding globulin), markers of dyslipidemia (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides), inflammation [C-reactive protein (CRP)], an adipokine (adiponectin), and metabolites, stratified by sex. Coffee consumption was inversely associated with diacyl-phosphatidylcholine C32:1 in both sexes and with phenylalanine in men, as well as positively associated with acyl-alkyl-phosphatidylcholines C34:3, C40:6, and C42:5 in women. Furthermore, coffee consumption was inversely associated with fetuin-A (P-trend = 0.06) and CRP in women and γ-glutamyltransferase and triglycerides in men. Coffee consumption tended to be inversely associated with T2D risk in both sexes, reaching significance only in men [HR (95% CI): women: ≥4 compared with >0 to <2 cups coffee/d: 0.78 (0.46, 1.33); men: ≥5 compared with >0 to <2 cups coffee/d: 0.40 (0.19, 0.81)]. The association between coffee consumption and T2D risk in men was slightly reduced after adjustment for phenylalanine or lipid markers. Coffee consumption was inversely associated with a diacyl-phosphatidylcholine and liver markers in both sexes and positively associated with certain acyl-alkyl-phosphatidylcholines in women. Furthermore, coffee consumption showed an inverse trend with CRP in women and with triglycerides and phenylalanine in men. However, these markers explained only to a small extent the inverse association between long-term coffee consumption and T2D risk. | {

Q:
How to find and delete products in magento that have no image
Can anyone help me find products that have no images assigned to them.
Either a list of products with no images or a way to delete them using a PHP script would be ideal
Thank you
A:
$collection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')
->addAttributeToFilter('media_gallery', array('isnull' => true))
should give you all the products.
$collection->delete();
should delete them all.
But be careful, if the filter is wrong, you might delete all products!

Synthesis, in vitro kinetics, and in vivo studies on protein conjugates of AZT: evaluation as a transport system to increase brain delivery.
Our method to increase the delivery of polar drugs to the central nervous system is via drug-protein conjugates with proteins that interact with and cross brain capillary endothelial cells. As a model for drugs containing a reactive hydroxyl group, AZT was conjugated via a succinate linker to two such protein carriers, the highly cationic histone H1 and an anti-transferrin receptor antibody, OX-26. The protein carriers were selected on the basis of their ability to interact with brain capillary endothelial cells by absorptive or receptor-mediated events, respectively. An in vitro pH profile of the rate of AZT release indicated that the observed hydrolysis proceeds by a specific base-catalysis mechanism. At 37 degrees C, the release of AZT proceeded at a rate approximately 10-fold faster (Kobs approximately 8 x 10(-4) min-1) than expected for a simple ester (AZT succinate; Kobs approximately 1.25 x 10(-4) min-1). Using simple model systems, product analysis revealed that intramolecular cyclization of the succinate linker accounts for the observed rate enhancement. Drug delivery in vivo was assessed using immunohistochemical techniques and quantitative brain uptake measurements with singly and doubly labeled AZT-OX-26 conjugates. Immunohistochemical staining of brain sections showed the colocalization of AZT and OX-26 in the brain vasculature. Therefore, drug can be linked to the antibody without affecting the targeting property of the antibody. Furthermore, an in vivo time course using radiolabeled conjugate showed that AZT is delivered to the brain capillaries but is not transported into the brain parenchyma with the antibody.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) | {

The veiled racism I sense in the United States today is couched, in public discourse at least, in terms that allow for plausible deniability of racist intent. And those who resist any policy initiative from the Obama administration engage in a scorched-earth policy that reminds me of the self-centered white flight, the abandonment of public schools, and the proliferation of private schools, that followed the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision to desegregate public schools. The very people, like my own rural, working-class family back in East Texas, who stand to gain from the efforts of the Obama administration and the Democratic Congress are, because of their racism, willing to oppose policies that would benefit them the most. Their racism outweighs their own self-interest. | {

Evaluation of proliferating cells in acute leukemia with antibodies to proliferating cell nuclear antigen and Ki-67 monoclonal antibodies.
The percentage of proliferating leukemic cells was evaluated in 32 patients with acute leukemia; this percentage was measured by flow cytometry and immunostaining with antibodies to proliferating cell nuclear antigen and Ki-67 monoclonal antibodies. In the peripheral blood samples, the mean proportion of cells that stained for proliferating cell nuclear antigen was 10%, the mean proportion of cells that stained for Ki-67 was 12%, and the mean proportion of cells in the S phase was 5.9%; in the bone marrow samples, these means were 15%, 15%, and 10.1%, respectively, all of which were higher than in the peripheral blood samples. There was a correlation between the proportion of cells that stained for proliferating cell nuclear antigen and cells that stained for Ki-67, and there was no correlation between the proportion of cells that stained for proliferating cell nuclear antigen or Ki-67 and the proportion of cells in the S phase. | {

Preston (speedway)
Preston were a British speedway team that existed from 1929 to 1932.
Brief history
They first competed in the English Dirt Track League (effectively the Northern League) in 1929 when they were runners-up to Leeds Lions. In the same season they won the English Dirt Track Knockout Cup beating Halifax in the final. They were based at Farringdon Park, New Hall Lane, Preston, Lancashire.

In 1987, the Associated Press voters were faced with a difficult choice. This was a year disrupted by the players’ strike, which led to a 15-game season that included three games featuring replacement players. Jerry Rice was the rare unanimous first-team All-Pro selection at wide receiver, courtesy of a record-breaking 22 touchdown receptions in 12 games. How remarkable was that? Eagles receiver Mike Quick was second in the league in receiving touchdowns with *11*, and no other player had more than 8! And for good measure, Rice scored a 23rd touchdown on a rush against the Falcons.
And it’s not as though all Rice did was catch touchdowns. Cardinals wide receiver J.T. Smith crossed the picket line and played in all 15 games; he wound up leading the league in receiving yards, but Rice led the NFL in receiving yards per game for the second straight season. A remarkable year from the greatest receiver in NFL history is certainly worthy of MVP honors.
The biggest threat to Rice capturing the MVP award appeared to be his own quarterback, Joe Montana. The 49ers lost on opening day in Pittsburgh, but the 49ers went 10-0 in Montana’s remaining starts. In part, this is because this was a dominant San Francisco team on both sides of the ball, but Montana led the NFL in completion percentage, touchdowns, touchdown rate, and passer rating. He also ranked 2nd in ANY/A, behind Cleveland’s Bernie Kosar (the Browns went 8-4 in his starts, and Kosar received minimal MVP attention). Montana had three 4th quarter comebacks and three game-winning drives, while Kosar had none. And in a head-to-head game on Sunday Night Football, Montana outclassed Kosar. And Montana was Montana, so it’s no surprise that peak Montana on a 10-game winning streak was considered the best quarterback in the NFL.
There were really just two knocks on Montana that year. One was that he crossed the picket line after a week: that means two of his ten starts came in those games, slightly inflating his stats. The other was was that his backup — future HOFer in Steve Young — was insanely efficient on 69 pass attempts and three starts. How efficient? Despite playing in 1987, Young posted what remains today as the single-greatest ANY/A average of the modern era, among players with at least 50 pass attempts.
How far ahead of the pack was the San Francisco passing attack with Montana, Rice, and an assist from Young? Below are the NFL team passer ratings from the last 10 games of the season, which is when all regular players returned. The 49ers lapped the field with a passer rating that would still be outstanding 30 years later:

Montana had a 103.8 passer rating, while Young had a 120.8 rating! Now, was Young’s performance enough to cost Montana the MVP? In 2011, Aaron Rodgers was remarkable, with a 122.5 passer rating, but seeing Matt Flynn torch the Lions for 480 yards and 6 touchdowns (and a 136.4 passer rating) in his only start didn’t cost Rodgers the award. From ’99 to ’01, Kurt Warner had a 103.4 passer rating and averaged 7.87 ANY/A and won two AP MVP awards, while his backup Trent Green had a 101.8 passer rating and 7.63 ANY/A in 8 games and 5 starts for those same Rams. Heck, last season, Tom Brady received 15 of 50 All-Pro votes despite not having the best passer rating on his own team! Brady averaged 8.81 ANY/A and had a 112.2 passer rating, while Jimmy Garoppolo had a 113.3 passer rating and averaged 8.59 ANY/A on a Young-like 63 attempts.
Montana was still widely viewed as the best quarterback in football that season. He was named the first-team All-Pro quarterback by the Associated Press, the Pro Football Writers of America, Pro Football Weekly, the Football Digest, Sports Illustrated (Dr. Z), USA Today (Gordon Forbes), the New York Daily News (Bryan Burwell), the Washington Post (Michael Wilbon), Newsday (a young Peter King), the Buffalo News (Larry Felser), and NFL Films.
But he was not a unanimous first-team choice. The Newspaper Enterprise Associated, The Sporting News, College and Pro Football Newsweekly, Gannett News Service’s Joel Buchsbaum, and National Sports Daily all chose John Elway as its first-team All-Pro quarterback.
Is there anyone else to consider? If you really want a fourth candidate, it’s not another offensive player, , but Eagles defensive end Reggie White, who like Rice, was a historically great player having a historically great season. White had 21 sacks in 12 games, while no other player had more than 12.5 sacks! White also had a 70-yard strip-sack touchdown against the eventual Super Bowl MVP that year, too. But let’s be real: this was a three-man race.
The Results
The Football News, NFLPA (poll of league players), and Washington Touchdown Club named Players of the Conference. All three named Elway the MVP of the AFC, of course, while Rice was the NFC MVP for two of the three organizations, with the WTC going with Montana. That splitting of the vote for 49ers players would be a sign of things to come, at least when it came to the Associated Press. For just about everyone else, the answer was pretty easy.
Eight organizations — the Pro Football Writers of America, the Newspaper Enterprise Association & Jim Thorpe Athletic Club (voting as a collective entity), The Sporting News, Sports Illustrated, the Football Digest, the Maxwell Club of Philadelphia Bert Bell Award, the New York Daily News, and the Minneapolis Star Tribune (Robert Sansevere) — named Rice their MVP.
Michael Wilbon, writing for the Washington Post, put out his column with one game left in the regular season. He named Rice, with 20 touchdown receptions in 11 games, his Most Outstanding Player, and Elway his most valuable player. “Yes, it’s a copout to pick an MVP and an outstanding player, but where would the Denver Broncos be without John Elway? He’s completed 56 percent of his passes with 19 touchdowns and only 11 interceptions. Without Elway, the Broncos probably would be the Raiders.” Had Wilbon waited another week, his vote may have gone to Rice alone, as he caught two more touchdowns in the final game (we’ll get to Elway’s final game later).
At Newsday, Peter King went with Elway as his MVP, with Montana 2nd, Rice 3rd, and White 4th.
King appears off on an island. The only other outlet to name Elway MVP that year? Well, that happened to be the Associated Press. Of the 84 AP voters, 43% named Elway MVP, with the remaining 57% voting for one of the 49ers stars. Of course, 30 votes went to Rice and 18 to Montana, allowing Elway and his 36 votes to narrowly take the award.
Here was the story from the AP on January 1, 1988:
John Elway of the Denver Broncos, who carried the injury-decimated Denver Broncos to the best record in the AFC, was named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player by The Associated Press on Thursday. Elway was one of only three players to receive votes for the award, beating out wide receiver Jerry Rice of San Francisco, who was named the AP’s offensive player, and 49ers quarterback Joe Montana. Elway was beaten out by Montana for the first-team quarterback spot on the AP’s All-Pro team “It’s very flattering,” Elway said in Denver. “But without the team behind you, you don’t have a chance to win an award like this. A quarterback tends to get more credit than he deserves sometimes.” Of 84 votes cast — by three broadcasters and sports writers from each NFL city — Elway received 36 votes to 30 for Rice. Montana got 18 votes. Elway carried the Broncos to a 10-4-1 record this season, good enough for the home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, even after losing to injury such stars as running backs Gerald Willhite and Steve Sewell , safety Dennis Smith , wide receiver Steve Watson and center Bill Bryan. Also, five defensive players from the team that went to the Super Bowl last season retired. Elway entered the league as the first choice in the 1983 draft, but got off to a shaky start, thrown in as the savior of the Denver franchise. Still, in his last four years, the Broncos have been 44-17-1 with him as the starter. “It makes me feel like I’ve come a long way in five years,” Elwav said. “As a rookie, I hit rock bottom. When you start down-and-out and then come back to this level, it makes all the hard work seem worthwhile. That makes this award seem even more special.” How far he has come was evident during a four-game stretch in mid season when he carried the Broncos to four straight victories after a loss in Buffalo that dropped the Broncos to 4-3-1. He threw for 341 yards and three touchdowns in a 31-29 win over the Bears and 347 and two TDs in a key 31-17 victory in San Diego. “Since he’s been here he’s played an awful lot of good games” Coach Dan Reeves said after the San Diego game. “But I don’t know that he’s been as consistent as he’s been in these past three.” With his running backs hurt, Elway relied principally on three fast wide receivers Vance Johnson, Mark Jackson and rookie Ricky Nattiel, who were nicknamed “The Three Amigos”. He finished with 224 completions in 410 attempts and 19 touchdowns. He also finished as the team’s second leading rusher behind Sammy Winder, carrying 66 times for 304 yards, a 4.6 average. On numerous occasions, he scrambled his way to first downs on third down situations and ran for four touchdowns. Against San Diego, for example, he carried six times for 40 yards and against the Bears, he was five for 35.
So was Elway a deserving MVP choice by the Associated Press? Remember, nearly every organization chose Rice as MVP, and even the AP only narrowly selected Elway over Rice. There’s no doubt who sportswriters as a group thought was the most valuable player in 1987. The AP is the “name” award, but there’s no reason to take the votes of 36 men as superior to those of other organizations. The Maxwell Club MVP polled 640 people, and there Rice actually received a majority of first-place votes (which, of course, Elway did not in the AP poll):
In ballots for the Bert Bell Award cast by sports writers, football coaches and club members, Rice received 326 first-place votes and 1,996 total points to become the first wide receiver to win the prize since it was first awarded in 1959. White had 105 first-place votes and 905 points, Elway received 133 first-place votes and 833 points and Montana garnered 49 first-place votes and 421 points.
If four AP voters selected Rice over Elway — or seven of the Montana voters went for Rice, or some combination of the two — then Rice would have been the AP, NEA, PFW, Sporting News, Sports Illustrated, and Maxwell Club MVP. And no one would ever associated Elway with being the most valuable player in the NFL in 1987. Perhaps the most remarkable note: Elway didn’t even account for more touchdowns than Rice that season: both were responsible for 23 touchdowns.
The Case For Elway
That said, let’s end with some reasons why Elway won the award. Elway’s numbers may not look great to you — 3,198 yards, 19 passing touchdowns, 12 interceptions, 83.4 passer rating — but they are better than they appear at first glance. He finished 4th in ANY/A and actually led the NFL in net yards per pass attempt. He had a better interception rate than Montana, but a mediocre 4.6% touchdown rate hurt his ANY/A average. That low touchdown, however, was due in part to all the injuries to the Denver running backs that turned the Broncos in a pass-happy team that ranked 2nd in pass attempts.
It’s also probably fair to throw out Elway’s terrible numbers from the last game of the season, played in absolutely miserable conditions, that the Broncos won 24-0 over a Chargers team that appeared frozen. He was 7 of 20 for 98 yards with an interception in a game that had 14 inches of snow, but also a game that was never in doubt. It’s not hard to imagine that the voters ignored his stats from the game. And without those bad numbers, Elway’s ANY/A jumps to 7.00, which was narrowly ahead of Montana’s ANY/A.
Let’s operate under the assumption that the voters paid little attention to the first two weeks of the season — the pre-strike games were a distant memory — and the final week of the year, due to the blizzard conditions and since the game was meaningless for San Francisco. Over that time period, Elway edged out Montana in ANY/A (though not passer rating), despite, you know… not having the best player in football. If anything, it’s Kosar (who played well in the two pre-strike games, too) who has a real gripe:
Elway produced legitimately great passing numbers over games 6 through 14 of the 15-game season, while also finishing the season 2nd among all quarterbacks in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. Oh, and he did it with a mediocre supporting cast and a coach who wasn’t exactly quarterback-friendly, while engineering a new-look, quarterback-centric, shotgun offense. That was the opposite of the situation Montana found himself in, and we can all agree that elevating a mediocre team to the 1 seed is the kind of stuff MVPs are made of. But if you don’t score more touchdowns than a wide receiver, it’s hard to be the most valuable player in football.
Ironically, Elway had a better claim to be made as the most valuable quarterback in the NFL, rather than its most valuable player. The Associated Press just got it reversed. | {

Introduction to Differential Equations (2008) - peter_d_sherman
http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/DE/Definitions.aspx
======
acjohnson55
DiffEq seemed like black magic to me when I took it as a freshman in college.
They basically just taught us the recipe bag for solving equations in
different shapes, but very little insight.
When I started a gamified music discovery company, I actually ended up using
DiffEq to define a scoring algorithm that would produce continuously varying
point values based on time series input data. I had to relearn how to do it,
but the concepts made far more sense with a real application.
~~~
freetime2
"Ten lessons I wish I had learned before I started teaching differential
equations" is relevant here. I feel that DiffEq was the most useless
undergraduate course that I took for my comp sci degree. They really didn't
spend enough time going into the fundamental concepts so that I am not even
sure I could recognize a differential equation if it were staring me in the
face at this point... much less any of the tricks that they taught us to solve
them.
10\. TEACH CONCEPTS, NOT TRICKS
What can we expect students to get out of an elementary course in differential
equations? I reject the “bag of tricks” answer to this question. A course
taught as a bag of tricks is devoid of educational value. One year later, the
students will forget the tricks, most of which are useless anyway. The bag of
tricks mentality is, in my opinion, a defeatist mentality, and the
justifications I have heard of it, citing poor preparation of the students,
their unwillingness to learn, and the possibility of assigning clever problem
sets, are lazy ways out.
In an elementary course in differential equations, students should learn a few
basic concepts that they will remember for the rest of their lives, such as
the universal occurrence of the exponential function, stability, the
relationship between trajectories and integrals of systems, phase plane
analysis, the manipulation of the Laplace transform, perhaps even the
fascinating relationship between partial fraction decompositions and
convolutions via Laplace transforms. Who cares whether the students become
skilled at working out tricky problems? What matters is their getting a
feeling for the importance of the subject, their coming out of the course with
the conviction of the inevitability of differential equations, and with
enhanced faith in the power of mathematics. These objectives are better
achieved by stretching the students’ minds to the utmost limits of cultural
breadth of which they are capable, and by pitching the material at a level
that is just a little higher than they can reach.
We are kidding ourselves if we believe that the purpose of undergraduate
teaching is the transmission of information. Information is an accidental
feature of an elementary course in differential equations; such information
can nowadays be gotten in much better ways than sitting in a classroom. A
teacher of undergraduate courses belongs in a class with P.R. men, with
entertainers, with propagandists, with preachers, with magicians, with gurus.
Such a teacher will be successful if at the end of the course every one of his
or her students feels they have taken “a good course,” even though they may
not quite be able to pin down anything specific they have learned in the
course.

I feel like Vladimir Arnold echoed a similar sentiment, but I can't find the
quote. He was complaining that a first course in ODE and PDE tends to teach
methods for finding exact solutions, even though equations with exact
solutions are _vanishingly rare_ in practice.
Or maybe it was Rota again, who knows?
Edit: nope, Rota again. Lesson one in your link :)

definitely in the spirit of Arnold
his book on ODE is otherworldly
the quote maybe comes from his pde book

Tangental anecdote: Every time I see Diff EQ mentioned the first thing that
pops into my head is the number 11. That's the score of my first, last, and
only Diff EQ test. 11%.

had you studied at all? most undergrad differential equations classes are
fairly mechanical in nature, you just learn to identify the type of problem,
then you follow the steps exactly as they are written in the textbook, super
little variation or freedom
~~~
btrettel
This is often more true than many believe. But in my experience few students
get so far that they recognize the patterns and can respond in the way you
describe. That might be the crux.
I remember my undergraduate mechanical vibrations class. Every exam was
basically a test of how well you could do the Laplace transform on some linear
ODEs. I memorized the most common transforms, so this became fairly
straightforward and fast for me, but it was obvious the other students were
struggling.
If I had a problem that wasn't solveable with the Laplace transform, say a
linear ODE with variable coefficients, I'd likely take longer to do the exam,
but those never appeared in the class.

Does anyone know websites or resources which explains how Diff Eq is used in
Computer Science? I know it's used in a variety of areas in CS, but I really
like to see or read well-explained tutorials or articles. e.g. what's finding
area got to do with the topics in CS? what does 'area' correspond to?
~~~

Not really Computer Science per se, but practically every engineering field
uses numerical solvers. No one reallistically solves nontrivial differential
equations by hand these days.

Not so much in engineering, but in science, approximate perturbation

I think the schools spend far too much time on symbolic differentiation and
integration. This limits the exercises to the kinds of toy problem that yield
to those methods. Kids get sidetracked on solving anti-differentiation
puzzles, while the fundamentals are relegated to those (largely useless)
puzzles.
After 20 years of engineering--in almost every case--numerical methods have
been the only way forward. In hindsight, a year-and-a-half long course to
convey the fundamentals seems excessive.
~~~
crispyambulance
While numerical methods are absolutely critical in practice, analytic methods
like you learn in what people call calculus and diff-eq are _absolutely_
essential to understanding the physical world.
You can't actually _understand_ numerical methods without a fairly deep
grounding in analytical methods.
The real problem is here is a lack of context. Engineering and most science
curriculums take a "short-cut" through mathematical education. They try to
teach just enough math to get through the major coursework. As a result you
end up with students who feel it's all just one big memorization trick .
~~~
jstewartmobile
> _analytic methods ... are _absolutely_ essential to understanding the
> physical world_
How so? My experience has been that the "physical world" is where the symbolic
approach completely breaks down.
> _Engineering and most science curriculums take a "short-cut" through
> mathematical education._
Only people taking more math than scientists and engineers would be
mathematicians. A year-and-a-half course to cover the limit, tangent-at-a-
point, functions of tangent-at-a-point, area-under-the-curve, and generalizing
all of that to higher dimensions doesn't seem like much of a "short-cut" if
you ask me.
~~~
Cobord
That is only if your allowing yourself to take the numerical methods as a
black box. If you want to be sure that your method is okay, you prove error
bounds as you take limits of 0 mesh size. Otherwise it is just building tables
of black magic for what schema to use when.
~~~
jstewartmobile
That's kind of where I was going with this. Instead of burning all of that
time on symbolic differentiation, dig-down into numerical methods ASAP so
students can get a feel for all of the related "gotchas"\--of which there are
many...
edit: IMHO, many of those "gotchas" are much more interesting than the
fundamentals of calculus.
~~~
Cobord
Consider symplectic integrators. You would never come up with them or realize
the problem of energy drift if you hadn't first paid attention to the
fundamentals of the geometry and calculus underlying the problem.
This is just my favorite example, but it illustrates how understanding the
fundamentals also explains the gotchas. Just getting a feel for them through
experience is again just black magic by building up a table of what to use
when without the generalizing principle behind it.
~~~
jstewartmobile
Never said to do away with the fundamentals. Will say that most symbolic
differentiation and integration (which is a big chunk of the coursework) is
not fundamental as much as it is fruitless busywork.
Even so, I spent a year of my time--and God knows how much of other people's
money--grinding out the mathematical equivalent of crossword puzzles so I
could get my job certificate--just like every other engineer.
Use that same time to apply the fundamentals to numerical methods, and you get
to go in far more interesting directions--like symplectic integrals, or chaos
theory.

>Never said to do away with the fundamentals. Will say that most symbolic

It's no more busywork than being able to multiply two single digit numbers in
your head. Whether it's useful to your job really depends on the job. I had a
job once in the engineering industry. When we were in meetings discussing
projects, if you could not do those types of analyses (e.g. asymptotic
behavior of certain Calc II type integrals) in your head, you would not know
what's going on. Sure, everyone could explicitly show all the steps for your
benefit, but you'd be slowing everyone down.

Can anyone compare this vs other resources to learn differential equations? I
want to learn math roughly to the level of an undergrad engineering student,
so I've looked at some Advanced Engineering Mathematics books (one by Zill,
another by Kreyszig), both have mostly good reviews, and to be honest, Paul's
Notes seem almost a level above in clarity and understandability. For example,
compare the explanation of integrating factor and exact equations. The books
typically explain exact equations via a total differential, which I'm kind of
confused about... why not just say that the left part of the equation is a
total derivative?
I can't decide whether to continue reading the Advanced Engineering
Mathematics book or learn the topics it contains via Paul's Notes and other
resources. My worry is that the reason Paul's Notes seem clearer is simply
because they're more superficial.
What are some other good learning resources for advanced engineering undergrad
math?
~~~
enriquto
> compare the explanation of integrating factor and exact equations
those are fringe subjects, completely irrelevant for the modern usage of
differential equations. They are useful only in computer algebra when you want
to implement differential galois theory. In practice you want to understand
the overall behavior of your system (qualitative theory) or compute particular
solutions numerically (using numerical methods, which are more precise than
evaluating the expression of the exact solution).
You'd do much better with a qualitative book about differential equations
(e.g., Arnold), about numerical analysis, or about dynamical systems (e.g.
Strogatz).

Does anyone know any website similar for advanced linear algebra and
probability with practice problems explained with detailed solutions step by
step? I know there exists other great textbook like Strang's, but I often find
textbook based learning resources lacking because of lack of detailed
solutions.
~~~
BlackFly
Not really a website, but I believe you can find ebooks online...
I highly recommend Numerical Linear Algebra by Trefethen. It gives very
detailed descriptions of particular interpretations of the singular value
decomposition and eigenvalues, it works out detailed algorithms for LU
factorization, eigenvalue/eigenvector decomposition, QR factorization etc. If
you know basic linear algebra, the book is a pleasure to read through. For
this crowd of people it is also very practical.
I don't know a good resource for probability... it is a much more diverse
subject than linear algebra (which is a very small, very detailed subset of
algebra).

First and second order diffeqs with constant coefficients are a big deal, you

A Chinese stealth unmanned combat aerial vehicle had its maiden flight on Thursday, photos taken by military fans revealed.
The successful flight shows the nation has again narrowed the air-power disparity between itself and Western nations.
The Sharp Sword conducted its first flight in a test-flight center in Southwest China at around 1 pm, fans said on cjdby.net, China’s most popular military website, adding that the test lasted nearly 20 minutes.
Several pictures in the post showed a delta-wing drone in flight with one photo showing its takeoff.
The news and photos have since been widely forwarded by major news websites, including Sina and people.com.cn, the online portal of People’s Daily. Xinhua News Agency also highlighted the pictures on its website.
The Sharp Sword was developed by the Shenyang Aircraft Design Institute and manufactured by Hongdu Aviation Industry Group, military observers said. Both belong to Aviation Industry Corp of China, the nation’s leading aircraft manufacturer.
The drone has been called China’s equivalent to the US’ Northrop Grumman X-47 series and the nEUROn, a joint effort of various European companies.
A worker at the information office of Aviation Industry Corp of China who refused to be named declined to confirm the news on late Thursday.
Since early May, a host of long-distance photos of a Sharp Sword prototype began to appear on several military websites, with observers speculating the photos signaled that the cutting-edge unmanned combat aerial vehicle was going to have its maiden flight soon.
With the test flight on Thursday, China became the fourth power in the world, after the US, the European Union and the United Kingdom, capable of putting a stealth drone into the sky.
"The drone can be used for reconnaissance and an air-to-ground strike, but more importantly, it has a huge potential for aircraft carriers," Wang Ya’nan, deputy editor-in-chief at Aerospace Knowledge magazine, told China Daily.
"I think the size and technological capability of the Sharp Sword make it a suitable choice for the navy if it is to select an unmanned combat platform for its aircraft carrier."
Wang said that the high visibility on the sea and the advanced radar used on modern battleships mean the carrier-based aircraft must have excellent stealth technology to evade detection, which in turn provide a good opportunity for the stealth drone.
The drone used in the test flight seemed to be equipped with the RD-93, a Russian turbofan engine, he said, adding that the engine was originally designed for a fighter jet, making it relatively large for a drone.
"Using the RD-93 compromises the stealth capability of the Sharp Sword, but the situation will be changed after our domestically developed engine that is specifically designed for drones enters production," Wang said. | {

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Wang Xiaobo from Haikou, Hainan Province, is a salesman at the Hualing Real Estate Marketing Ltd. He was arrested at work and taken to a brainwashing centre on May 8th, 2015, where staff tried to brainwash him for about 18 hours daily.
Mr. Wang recently managed to escape from the brainwashing centre and tell his story.
Breaking Left Arm
I am Wang Xiaobo, a relatively new practitioner. On the morning of May 8th, four officers from the 610 Office (an organisation of special agents just for persecuting Falun Gong) arrested me at my workplace and took me to a brainwashing centre on the 4th floor of the Huatian Hotel in the Shiziling Industrial District.
They started to deprive me of food on the second day. I was told to stand to attention on the morning of May 11th, which I refused. I was beaten and they broke my left arm, which was set by a doctor.
After it was decided that I was getting better, the brainwashing started in full force. It went on for about 18 hours a day for seven days.
Escaping from the Brainwashing Centre
Those trying to brainwash practitioners at the brainwashing centre left on June 11th. So I locked the room.
I was able to kick away the bars on the window, climb out and down the air conditioning units from the 4th floor to the 2nd floor. Then I jumped to the ground and left the hotel.
Eight people were involved in the brainwashing sessions and there were two police officers on duty every day. They also hired two security guards to watch the gate on the 4th floor and monitor the practitioners in their rooms.
There were about 10 practitioners there at the time of my arrest.
A male practitioner in his 60s refused to be “transformed” [forcibly renounce Falun Gong]. He was tortured and verbally abused daily.

My question is that can we create a textbox like IP address box means we can insert only numeric value in textbox like "122.235.25.36" and all dots (.) already remains there.
I am making a app. in which I want to assign any IP in particular format as we see in network place for configure a network IP.

Greater Dayton Area Overview
Summary
Wrapped along the Great Miami River, the Greater Dayton area prides itself on big city amenities coupled with Midwestern charm and hospitality. The many towns and villages that dot the Miami Valley lie in the shadow of downtown Dayton’s distinction as the ‘Birthplace of Aviation’. With the Aviation Heritage National Historic Park, the National Air Force Museum, and the trails of Wilbur and Orville Wright it’s a richly cultured area, making this a great place to live and work. Outside the city, there are still plenty of wide-open spaces in the Greater Dayton area to call home as the easily accessible suburban areas continue to build on the area’s reputation for unique attractions, pleasant living and exceptional natural beauty.
Transportation
Two of America’s most traveled highways, I-75 and I-70 meet in Montgomery County, making it easy to get just about anywhere you want to go; Rt. 35 also crosses through the region. RTA provides bus service to Dayton and surrounding areas. Dayton’s RTA is one of only five cities in the U.S. with electric trolleys offering an environmentally responsible form of mass transit. The Greyhound Bus station services many nearby midwestern cities. Biking enthusiasts will love the Great Miami River Recreation Trail.
Hospitals
Several hospitals serve the area including Grandview, Southview, Children’s Hospital and the Miami Valley Regional Hospital.
Shopping
You can find it all in downtown Dayton-including department and specialty stores with many just a quick walking trip away. The Wegerzyn River Market at the historic Cannery Warehouse is worth a special trip. Many household needs can be met within minutes of home at several neighborhood shopping centers.
Recreation
The area is as alive with activity as you want, or offers a slower pace if you’re looking for some solitude. Arts and culture attractions, theatre, pro sports, and numerous colleges call this area home. You’re probably no more than 15 minutes away from any of the Five Rivers MetroParks with 20 facilities covering 11,000 acres for year-round recreation. Each of the nearby cities host annual events including Stagecoach Days, Heritage Festival, the internationally acclaimed Dayton Air Show, Ice Cream Festival, and Old Fashioned Days.

[Characterizing Fracture Characteristics of Heterogeneous Oil and Gas Reservoir by Using Microscopic Infrared Spectroscopy Technique ——Taking Carbonate Reservoir of the Wumishan Formation of Jixian System in Renqiu Burried Hill as an Example].
Oil and gas reservoir fracture is not only the important reservoir space, but also the main passage of the oil and gas migration. Therefore, the characterization of fracture is of great importance. However, reservoir rocks have strong heterogeneity, how to characterize heterogeneous reservoir fracture accurately is an urgent problem to be solved. Microscopic infrared spectroscopy imaging technique can be used to analyze spectral curve of the mineral molecules, different peak characteristics were got, and rock medium composition, the size of the rock fracture, and fracture filler properties and other characteristics were obtained accurately. In this work, carbonate heterogeneous reservoir of Renqiu buried hill was taken as an example, based on the microscopic infrared spectroscopy imaging technique, by the analysis of core sample infrared imaging spectrogram and spectral curves of different characteristic regions, the physicochemical characteristics of the target sample and spatial distribution of the rock medium were obtained, the regions where rock fracture maybe occurred were predicted and the effectiveness of the fractures was analyzed. The results show that the main medium of rock sample is dolomite. The rock fractures contain hydrocarbon organic and salt-water inclusion, which mainly exist in dolomite medium. The proportion of salt-water inclusion is 51.7%, and that of alkane organic matter is 26.0% in the fracture filler. The fracutres extend from the upper left region of core sample to the lower right region, which shows that the extended region of the core sample may be the passage of fluid migration. The salt-water inclusions can impede the migration of oil and gas, resulting in the decrease of fractures permeability. The experimental results show that the width of fractures is 1～1.5 mm, which belongs to large fracture, oil and gas can pass the fractures smoothly, therefore, the effectiveness of the fracture is good. The results showed that it is feasible to characterize the fracture of heterogeneous reservoir by means of microscopic infrared spectroscopy imaging technique, and it provides a new method for the accurate characterization of the fracture of heterogeneous reservoir. | {

[Leptospirosis in children in Ciego de Avila Province, Cuba].
The morbidity of leptospirosis among children from Ciego de Avila Province was investigated from 1982 to 1995, and 253 cases were diagnosed. Isolated cases prevailed over those occurring in outbreaks. The 10-14 age group was predominant, followed by the 5-9 age group. According to sex, it was more frequently found in males than in females. One death occurred during this period. There was an increase of cases from July to August and October, and November showed a higher incidence of cases. Fever, headache and myalgia were the symptoms and signs more frequently reported, and 92% of cases showed no icterus. Acute fever, leptospirosis and viral meningoencephalitis were the presumptive diagnoses most frequently made. Possible sources of infection involving a larger number of cases were contact with low terrains and bathing in rivers, ponds and lakes. Regarding diagnosis, 162 cases were diagnosed by the microagglutination test and 91 by the hemolytic test. Canicola, australis and pomona were the serogroups more frequently detected by the microagglutination test. | {

Q:
Building cdk modal - ngOnInit is not triggered and no data is passed
I'm trying to build modals library that is dependent only on CDK.
Modal is opened with service and I pass entryComponent to render it in modal.
Here is sample: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ofzpks?file=src%2Fapp%2Fmodal.component.ts
In modal itself I'm creating component with factory:
const compRef = this.componentFactoryResolver.resolveComponentFactory<any>(this.modalContentComponent);
const componentRef = this.modalContainer.createComponent(compRef);
I have two problems:
I have to trigger componentRef.instance.ngOnInit(); manually
I pass some data to that component: componentRef.instance.name = this.data.name; but component never renders it
A:
In your modal.component.ts, use ngOnInit instead of ngAfterViewInit:
ngOnInit() {
const compRef = this.componentFactoryResolver.resolveComponentFactory<any>(this.modalContentComponent);
const componentRef = this.modalContainer.createComponent(compRef);
componentRef.instance.name = this.data.name;
}
Updated StackBlitz
Doing it this way means that ngDoCheck will run and detect the changes for you since ngDoCheck runs directly after ngOnInit.

REDBLACKS Cheer and Dance Week – Calendar Release
We wrap up our series profiling the Ottawa REDBLACKS Cheer and Dance Team with a look at the tean calendar.
Photos by Jordyn P. and Gord Webber
This has been a pretty good time to be an Ottawa REDBLACKS Cheer and Dance member. Not only have the REDBLACKS won two games this past week, three in a row but they also had their Calendar release this past Wednesday evening. With Casino Lac Lemay as a backdrop many members of R-Nation came out for the event. This is the second year in a row that this event has been held but the fourth year in a row the team has had a calendar. All of the cheer teams have them. The proceeds help offset costs of the season.
This year’s calendar is particularly wonderful as it has many of the members, in uniform, across the city in front of landmarks like Parliament Hill, etc.
At the calendar release, the crowd that included fans of all ages were able to meet and mingle with members of the Cheer and Dance team and coaches.
It was somewhat of a family affair as Laviotette Flowers decorated the room. (The business is owned by the family of this year’s cover girl, Jenny)
We spoke to the Director of the team Lisa Aucoin about the calendar. “Our team members are volunteers and fundraising minimizes their out-of-pocket expenses. This year the Grey Cup is taking place right here in Ottawa but we will still have some costs associated with the weekend. We are doing some fun extras to welcome the other teams to our great city along with some special plans to commemorate our 1st Grey Cup festival at home! “
A question that comes up is ‘why would you want to buy a calendar?’ and the answer for me is simple; to support the team. Over the past several days we have had the opportunity of speaking to members past and present and one common denominator is their passion for what they do and what they do is support our city. Being a member of this team goes way beyond what we see on the field on game days. It includes intense training, practices that go late into night to make their routines seem effortless, countless hours of community activities that support a range of good causes and overall being a positive force within the community.
As someone who has supported this league, since I was a child I have a ton of respect for what they do. It is always easy to sit back and think ‘it’s no big deal’ or to blow it off but consider this, they are the only ones at a game who are always smiling. Think about it, coaches can get mad, players can get mad but the cheerleaders are always bringing the positivity.
I am also impressed at how this team empowers women. The coaches are all women and many were on the team before. Riley, a third year vet on the team, started, as many do, very shy but it isn’t uncommon to find her teaching the dance team new routines at practices. When asked about it she said, “It’s nice to be taking more of a leadership role. The team has come so far and we have grown so much as a team.”
For Kela, a first year dance team member who joined the team after moving in from Vancouver, one of her favourite aspect is the younger members of R-Nation, ‘I love love love meeting the kids. Best part of the game for me is when the little kids come running up for pictures or to show you their cartwheels.”
So, should you buy a calendar to support this team? Well considering everything they do for our community, you might want to buy two!
I would like to buy an Ottawa Redblacks cheerleader calendar, and have it shipped out to me. I have contacted the Facebook web site of the Ottawa Redblacks cheerleaders on Saturday Nov 25 9:38 pm. Is there another email where I can contact the cheerleading team? The calendar is ***not*** sold on the Ottawa Redblacks online store. | {

The effectiveness of four translation strategies on nurses' adoption of an evidence-based bladder protocol.
The primary purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an intervention consisting of the four translation strategies of educational materials, educational meetings, reminders, and audit and feedback on nurses' adoption of an evidence-based bladder program for patients with stroke in an acute care setting. The secondary purpose was to evaluate the difference in incontinence episodes of patients with stroke before and after nurses received the intervention. Finally, the purpose was to evaluate the influence of nurses' attitudes and the demographic characteristics on the adoption and use of the evidence-based bladder program after receiving the intervention. This study was the first to provide empirical support for the influence of the combination of these four translation strategies and nurses' attitudes toward research on the adoption of evidence-based practice in a time-series design study. Thus, the combined use of the four translation strategies did have an impact on nurses' adoption of evidence-based practice. | {

Deputies: Improper U-turn caused wreck on Freshour Road
A 63-year-old Clifton Springs woman was ticketed following a two-vehicle accident Wednesday morning on Freshour Road that occurred, deputies allege, when the woman made an improper U-turn and struck another car.
Kathryn M. Drennan was driving a 2014 Toyota Rav-4 south on Freshour at around 7:48 a.m. when, according to the Ontario County Sheriff’s Office, she pulled to the right at the intersection with Stoddard Road. She then proceeded to make a U-Turn, deputies say, and struck a 2010 Chevrolet sedan that was southbound on Freshour. | {

The Rorschach and traumatic loss: can the presence of traumatic loss be detected from the Rorschach?
Loss, an expected part of everyone's life, can be a catalyst promoting significant growth. But all losses are not the same or affect everyone in like manner. Some losses are of such magnitude and intensity that individuals cannot cope, and, therefore, they keep reliving them (posttraumatic stress syndrome) as if through repeated attempts (Freud, 1923-1922/1961) they might master what had been initially so overwhelming. This study, using an inpatient hospital sample, examines the Rorschach protocols of individuals who had experienced traumatic loss in childhood or early adolescence and compares them with a control group of individuals who appear to have no such history. Our hypotheses that victims of early trauma have a distinguishing Rorschach profile was validated in the exploratory study. Further study is needed to clarify whether factors other than traumatic loss may be contributing to this profile. | {

Be'lakor has revealed that guitarist Shaun Sykes will be sitting out upcoming tour dates throughout the rest of 2015 for medical reasons. Shaun comments:
“To the fans,
"Over the past 12 months I have been battling with a medical condition that will render me unable to play on the upcoming European tour. This has been a very difficult decision to make, and no one is more disappointed than I am to be missing these upcoming shows in Europe. Matt Dodds (guitarist from one of my favourite bands, Arbrynth) will be filling in for me during my absence, and will no doubt do a stellar job.
"My number one focus at this point in time is to complete the album and recover to a point where I can return to my regular duties in the band. Despite my setbacks, everything is going well in my recovery and I expect to be back soon. I want you all to know I am fully committed to getting back out there and playing shows for you guys.
"My sincerest apologies to you all."
Be'lakor also adds: "Despite this, preparations for the upcoming shows are going really well - after an extended period finalising our new music away from the stage, we can't wait to play live again. Cheers, and see you on the road soon!"
If you are planning your Summer vacation and are looking for a place where your favourite bands might have a show, where the beer is outrageously cheap, and the landscape is awesome, you might want to try the lands of Transylvania.
We’re talking about a particular place from this region: Rasnov city, placed in the heart of Romania, near the legendary Castle of Dracula.
Here, an international extreme metal festival is to be held August 12th – 15th 2015: the Rockstadt Extreme Fest. The full ineup includes 45 bands with names such as Moonspell, At The Gates, Marduk, Combichrist, Ensiferum, Kataklysm, Carnifex, Taake, Cattle Decapitation, White Walls, Krisiun, Be'lakor, Suicidal Angels, and many more confirmed.
Besides good music, you’ll be able to enjoy urban sports in a special area inside the festival site, see movies in the dedicated outdoor cinema (set-up in collaboration with the Dracula Film Fest), and more. For further details, head over to this location. More...
Australian outfit Be'lakor is currently working on the follow-up to 2012's "Of Breath and Bone." The band has checked in from the studio with the following update:
"Fourth album recording is upon us! After nearly three years of writing and refining, we begin tracking today. If you're on Instagram, follow us there! What better way to see studio updates, photos of gluten-free organic quinoa, and Steve brewing his artisan tea? Infernal hailz." More...
Following its European release in late 2012 via Kolony Records, this week the third full-length from Australian melodic death metal act Be'lakor sees official stateside liberation through Kolony’s new North American distribution via eOne Entertainment.
To celebrate its stateside release, today This Is Not A Scene is hosting a stream of the massive "Of Breath And Bone" in its entirety. Check it out here or in the player below.
New live ventures for Be'lakor are coming together to take place sporadically throughout the remainder of 2013 in support of the new album. Stay tuned for new updates. The following press release was also issued about the album:
"Of Breath And Bone takes the talents of young but motivated and exceptionally talented Melbourne, Victoria-based quintet Be'lakor to entirely new levels since previous releases. Following the band’s self-released 2007 debut The Frail Tide, Italian label Kolony Records brought the crew into the label’s family for the release of their follow-up, in the form of 2009’s Stone’s Reach album. Stone’s Reach led the band to perform at massive international festivals including Summer Breeze, in addition to European tours and solo international appearances across the continent.
"Having refined their talents even further, the band’s superb third album Of Breath And Bone further exemplifies Be'lakor’s superior metal prowess. Boasting nearly an hour of prime, harmonious death metal, Of Breath And Bone proves why the band is considered the leading melodic death metal band in all of Australia, mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street studios (Opeth, Paradise Lost, Amon Amarth)." More...
Italian metal label Kolony Records has inked a brand new distribution deal for all of North America through DisManic via eOne Distribution. Having continually expanded to reach more and more European fans and stores since the label’s 2008 formation, with this new distro deal Kolony now aims to get their quality metal releases into the hands of more North American extreme music fans, beginning late this spring with the latest release from Be'lakor.
"Of Breath And Bone" was successfully released by Kolony records across Europe in mid 2012, and is now set to become available to North American fans on June 4th, 2013. The following press release was issued about the band:
"Considered the leading melodic death metal band in all of Australia, despite the young age of its members, the success of Be'lakor’s previous 'Stone’s Reach' album led the band to perform at massive international festivals including Summer Breeze, in addition to European tours and solo international appearances across the continent. More...
The organizers of the upcoming Summer Breeze 2012 festival have issued the following update about confirming new acts:
"Italy is not exactly a hotbed for dark doom metal. Fortunately enough, there are always exceptions to confirm the rule. With the three albums they have released so far, The Foreshadowing have provided a master class in gloom and doom. Hailing from Rome, the band prove that it is indeed possible to write great atmospheric songs without falling into excessive pathos and kitsch. Especially singer Marco Benevento's clear, ear-piercing vocals take the group's material to a level which is only populated by bands such as Katatonia, My Dying Bride, early Anathema and even Opeth. Don't miss this black pearl of darkness! You will hardly experience anything bigger, darker and more epic at Summer Breeze 2012!
"Breakdowns aren't exactly the most innovative element in metal nowadays... However, if you use them with such conviction and vehemence as Bleed From Within, even the most athletically challenged of metalheads should soon mutate into pit fighter number one. The UK band have two albums out which should appeal to fans of As I Lay Dying, Bring Me The Horizon and Parkway Drive, while at times Bleed From Within are even more melodic than the aforementioned bands, only to dive into a brutal breakdown the very next second. All fans of metalcore and deathcore should highlight this band in their personal running order, as this is the perfect stuff for all of them!"
The festival is set to take place from August 16th - 18th, will full details available at this location. The currently announced bill is as follows: More...
Australia's Be'lakor has posted the entire new "Of Breath and Bone" album online for streaming, which can be heard in the playlist below or by heading over to the band's YouTube page here. Be'lakor commented:

"Recording update and another short song preview! This time, from one of the recent keyboard recording sessions at Penny Drop Audio in Melbourne (complete with bare feet at the end, which is no doubt the key to a good take ;) All album tracking is now complete. It's been a long and challenging process, as always, but we think the results will be worth it."
Be'lakor has posted a video clip of Shaun Sykes recording some lead guitars for the band's forthcoming third album, due out April/May 2012. The clip is available below, and the band commented:
"Hey everyone. We'll be putting up a new video from our recording sessions in a day or so (keyboard recording), but just in case you missed our most recent one, here's a short clip of Shaun recording lead guitars. We're so close to being finished now - getting ready to start the mixing / mastering process with Jens Bogren soon." More...
Swedish death metal giants Amon Amarth are the latest band to confirm an appearance at the Brutal Assault 2012 Festival. The festival will be held from August 9-11, 2012 at the Old Army Fortress in Josefov, Czech Republic.
Amon Amarth will join the following bands who had previously confirmed:
Australia's Be'lakor, which had previously canceled a run of European tour dates, has now issued the following update about newly scheduled shows in Europe:
"We are very excited to be playing these dates in Germany, Portugal and England. It’s been a long time coming, and after some recent setbacks with the cancellation of dates, we have relied on our fans in Europe to help us in finding these shows. We owe a great gratitude to everyone who e-mailed us suggesting venues and contacts. Whilst we obviously couldn’t make it to every country in the short space of time that we have on this tour, we hope that some of the fans in other countries who have been waiting to see us will also be able to make it to one of these shows."
Australia's Be'lakor has issued the following comments about canceling several of their upcoming European shows:
"As many people have noticed over the past few days, we have unfortunately been dropped from the 'Assault of the Carnivores Tour 2010' in Baroeg, Holland - due to the apparent difficulties of organizing shows around August. This has been especially bad news for Be'lakor, as the Baroeg show was part of a series of up to 10 shows that were being organized through an agent of a prominent American death metal band for the remainder of our European tour.
"We are now faced with the extremely disappointing situation of having had nearly all of our tour pulled from beneath us (with the exception of Summer Breeze). None of this has been within our control and, given how close we are to August, has left us with the very difficult task of trying to find replacement shows.
"As we are sure that any fellow travellers will appreciate, the costs of travelling from Australia to Europe - especially for a small band like ours - are considerable. For this reason, it is essential to us that we make the most of this opportunity and play as many shows as possible. Needless to say, we are very unhappy with how things have worked out. More...
Australia's Be'lakor has issued the following update about performing a send off show before embarking on a European tour:
"Before we head off for our European tour, we're playing one last massive show in Melbourne: Saturday, August 7th at The Espy. Make sure you come along - it will probably be our last show in Australia for some time, because after we return from Europe we'll be getting back into the process of song writing as we work on our third album. Hope to see you all there!"
The dates and venues of Be'lakor's European tour, which will kick off in August, will be announced as they are made available.
Australia's Be'lakor has issued the following update about their upcoming tour dates with Turisas:
"Hey everyone, as most of you hopefully know, there has been a change for the Turisas tour. We are still supporting Turisas for their Aussie tour, however, as we announced recently, the Brisbane date (Friday May 21st) has been canceled. (For some reason, despite the fact that we have deleted this show from our tour calender on Myspace, it is still showing up on our page - please IGNORE this date). The problems with the tour were a result of Just Say Rock pulling out of their role as the event promoter/organizer.
"Luckily, Soundwave Touring has taken over the tour - but the Brisbance date has been dropped (this was not our call of course). So, apologies to all Brisbane-based fans. The following dates are still correct: SYDNEY Saturday 22nd May - The Factory Theatre (All Ages), MELBOURNE Sunday 23rd May - Billboard the Venue."
Australia's Be'lakor has issued the following statement about performing at the Summer Breeze festival and planning more European tour dates:
"Yes, it's finally happening. Be'lakor is coming to Europe! We're honoured to have been selected to play at Germany's massive Summer Breeze Festival in August of this year. Of course, more dates around Europe will be announced soon! Thanks to all the fans who have supported us for so long, and waited for us to get over to Europe to play. We can't wait."
More information on the Summer Breeze festival can be found here. Be'lakor's upcoming Australian dates are as follows:
Be'lakor has issued the following announcement about supporting Turisas for several upcoming Australian tour dates:
"It's been a great week for us! We're proud to announce that we will be supporting Finland's Turisas along the east coast of Australia for their upcoming Australian tour. What is essentially our first international support slot, we are very excited to be playing with Turisas and heading back to Brisbane and Sydney (with the final show in Melbourne) over one packed weekend in May. We will update the details under the gigs section on MySpace so stay tuned. If you live in or around any of these cities, come show some support and enjoy the gigs!"
Australian metallers Be'lakor, who recently signed to Kolony Records, have issued the following statement about their first live show of 2010:
"On Saturday January 9th, 2010, Be'lakor will take to the stage at The Arthouse in Melbourne. Also playing on the night will be three of Melbourne's best rising bands in melodic metal - Arbrynth, Rainshadow and Okera. This gig promises to be an amazing evening of dark, moving and melodic music, brought to you by White Noise Productions. Be'lakor's set will be over an hour long... with a few surprises in store. There are also plans to launch a new t-shirt design on the night (more news on that soon!) So, tell your friends, and hopefully we'll see you there on the night!"
Be'lakor released their album "Stones Reach" in Europe on November 30th, 2009. | {

LSD alters eyes-closed functional connectivity within the early visual cortex in a retinotopic fashion.
The question of how spatially organized activity in the visual cortex behaves during eyes-closed, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD)-induced "psychedelic imagery" (e.g., visions of geometric patterns and more complex phenomena) has never been empirically addressed, although it has been proposed that under psychedelics, with eyes-closed, the brain may function "as if" there is visual input when there is none. In this work, resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) data was analyzed from 10 healthy subjects under the influence of LSD and, separately, placebo. It was suspected that eyes-closed psychedelic imagery might involve transient local retinotopic activation, of the sort typically associated with visual stimulation. To test this, it was hypothesized that, under LSD, patches of the visual cortex with congruent retinotopic representations would show greater RSFC than incongruent patches. Using a retinotopic localizer performed during a nondrug baseline condition, nonadjacent patches of V1 and V3 that represent the vertical or the horizontal meridians of the visual field were identified. Subsequently, RSFC between V1 and V3 was measured with respect to these a priori identified patches. Consistent with our prior hypothesis, the difference between RSFC of patches with congruent retinotopic specificity (horizontal-horizontal and vertical-vertical) and those with incongruent specificity (horizontal-vertical and vertical-horizontal) increased significantly under LSD relative to placebo, suggesting that activity within the visual cortex becomes more dependent on its intrinsic retinotopic organization in the drug condition. This result may indicate that under LSD, with eyes-closed, the early visual system behaves as if it were seeing spatially localized visual inputs.

Bukki
Bukki ( Buqqi, "proved") may have been an early High Priest of Israel. Another Bukki is mentioned in Numbers as a leader in the Tribe of Dan.
Bukki is mentioned in the books 1 Chronicles (6:4) and Ezra (7:4) as the son of the High Priest Abishua, a priest fifth in descent in the line of Eleazar. In the Apocrypha (2 Esdras 1:2), his name is listed as Borith and in 1 Esdras 8:2, he is called Boccas. According to Josephus (Antiquities of the Jews 5.10.5; 8.1.3) and other extrabiblical sources, he succeeded his father as High Priest.
He is contemporarily identified with the Samaritan High Priest Bakhi.
Etymology
Personal name shortened from Bukkiah, meaning, “Yahweh proved”
Numbers 34:22
". . . and the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli . . ."

Mortality after emergency surgery continues to rise after discharge in the elderly: Predictors of 1-year mortality.
It is known that emergency surgery in the elderly is associated with high short-term mortality, but longer-term outcomes are not well described. We hypothesized that 30-day mortality may underestimate the true operative mortality experienced in this cohort. The purposes of this study were to characterize postoperative mortality rates extending to 1 year and to identify preoperative predictors of 1 year mortality after emergency abdominal surgery. We retrospectively reviewed the records of all patients older than 70 years who underwent emergency abdominal surgery at a major teaching hospital between 2006 and 2011. Demographics, preoperative physiology, prehospital status, body mass index, laboratory values, Charlson scores, comorbid conditions, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, and operative details were recorded. The primary end point was 1-year mortality. Complementary log-log binary regression was used to determine independent predictors of death. Model discrimination was evaluated using the c statistic. A total of 390 patients met our inclusion criteria. The mean age was 79 years, and 56% were women. Postoperative mortality was 16.2% at 30 days and 32.5% at 1 year, reflecting a doubling of mortality over 11 months. Independent preoperative predictors of 1-year mortality were Charlson score of 4 or higher (hazard ratio [HR], 1.79; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.38-2.34), American Society of Anesthesiologists class of 4 or higher (HR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.22-2.21), albumin less than 3.5 (HR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.31-2.28), and body mass index lower than 18.5 (HR, 3.36; 95% CI, 1.48-6.86). The c statistic was 0.81. The 1-year mortality after emergency surgery in the elderly is significantly higher than that at 30 days. We identified a constellation of preoperative clinical markers that were highly predictive of this poor late outcome. The presence of these findings in the emergency setting should prompt preoperative discussion about treatment goals and encourage surgeons to set realistic expectations about outcomes with the patient and family. Future studies will develop a clinical scoring tool that can be applied at the bedside to provide more effective counseling for this high-risk population.

Q:
how to report grammar ambiguity in antlr4 with c++ target
This question is a followup on a similar question with java code - how-to-report-grammar-ambiguity-in-antlr4. I am trying to port that code to c++, but I am facing some compilation errors with using the antlr templates.
The main program in c++ is the following:
// TestA_Main.cpp
using namespace std;
using namespace antlr4;
using namespace atn;
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
string filename = argv[0];
ifstream stream;
stream.open(filename);
ANTLRInputStream input(stream);
AmbigLexer lexer(&input);
CommonTokenStream tokens(&lexer);
AmbigParser parser(&tokens);
parser.addErrorListener(new DiagnosticErrorListener());
// the following line has an error on the call to getInterpreter
parser.getInterpreter().setPredictionMode(PredictionMode::LL_EXACT_AMBIG_DETECTION);
parser.stat();
}
I ran the following commands on it:
java org.antlr.v4.Tool -Dlanguage=Cpp Ambig.g4
g++ -std=gnu++0x -I. -I/antlr4_cpp/runtime/include -I/antlr4_cpp/runtime/include/atn TestA_Main.cpp
And I am getting the following compilation errors, on the call to getInterpreter:
TestA_Main.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
TestA_Main.cpp:27:27: error: no matching function for call to ‘AmbigParser::getInterpreter()’
parser.getInterpreter().setPredictionMode(PredictionMode::LL_EXACT_AMBIG_DETECTION);

/softwares/antlr4/antlr4_cpp/runtime/include/Recognizer.h:73:8: note: template argument deduction/substitution failed:
TestA_Main.cpp:27:27: note: couldn't deduce template parameter ‘T’
parser.getInterpreter().setPredictionMode(PredictionMode::LL_EXACT_AMBIG_DETECTION);
Can you please tell me how to fix the above code? I am using antlr-4.6
A:
It's a template function and you have to specify the template parameter explicitly:
parser.getInterpreter<ParserATNSimulator>()->setPredictionMode(PredictionMode::SLL);

CAMAGUEY.- If someone had told me that I had to tackle this subject, I would have smiled. In our society, in spite of the enormous efforts to turn it more and more cultured an prepared, there are still reminiscence of the past, and the chauvinism does not escape from this, but as life changes whether you like it or not, the situation is other. That´s the way I got to Dr. Arcilia María Artola Silva, specialist in Integral General Medicine (MGI) and in Psychiatry.
She works in the Psychiatric Hospital René Vallejo, in this city. She holds a Master Degree in Social Psychiatry, and in Satisfying Longevity, and she is an Assistant Professor. With great kindness, she used a bit of her limited time to see us and to explain us some issues related with sexual dysfunction, an issue that everybody have heard about it at least one time, but we do not always tackle it without prejudice.
Sexual dysfunction consist of the inability which a person has to enjoy a relation of this kind despite having all conditions to achieve it, like material and physical conditions, the adequate place, the feeling of loving your partner. This can be present during any stage of the sexual act (that includes desire, preference, arousal and orgasm) and prevents the individual or couple to achieve a full enjoyment, according to Dr. Arcilia.
Sexual dysfunction may be classified into: difficulties in attraction and desire, which happens to a person with lack of sexual desire though the person is healthy, loves his partner and feels attracted to her. There is also the sexual refusal, in cases where people feels at the same time eagerness and repulsion towards the act.
- Is it more frequent in men or women?
- This problem appears either in women or in men. In the feminine sex appears difficulties in the desire, arousal, orgasm and dyspareunia – painful intercourse, in women as well as in men, though the last ones are less frequent – and it is defined as pain or an inconvenience before, after or during the sexual union; the difficulties with the vaginal lubrication, and the vaginismus - pain to the sexual contact due to difficulty in the muscles - and absence of orgasm; in the masculine case, difficulties in the erection and in the ejaculation when it is precocious, mainly, because these are no only ones.
- What do you mean with not organic?
- We take care of the psychic part and to having detected an organic damage; the patients have to go to other specialists.
- Earlier we listened people talking about frigidity in the woman …
- This concept was abolished, it is treated as absence of vaginal lubrication, both in the youngest and in the age of the menopause for hormones absence.
- Anyone has a stumble in the sexual contact, but: when must the person or the couple begin to worry and go to the doctor?
- When it turns into a long event. A limit time is not defined, it is perceived when displeasure is produced in the couple. For example, in case of the erectile sexual malfunction, in an occasion the man may not get the erection for several factors. For instance, the man does not like his partner, the ambience is not the suitable one, he is worried, there has been some discussion between them earlier and that does not mean that he should go to the doctor; on the contrary, if it is continuous, it recurs, he must go.
- How and to what doctor the person has to go?
- The ways are different. We open a sexuality consultation every Monday in the Psychiatric Hospital René Vallejo, at 30 after 8 in the morning. In addition, they can go to his family doctor who will indicate him what to do, since sometimes they resolve in the consultation of Psychology of the area of Health.
- What are the causes that originates this suffering?
- Multiple. Inside our specialty, we are discarding them, sometimes we have to diagnose the patient and in other cases, the couple says it because she knows what happens to him, but she does not know how to remedy it.
“Among these, we find a bad sex education, the girls who have been violated or they suffered from lewd abuse, something that can happen in the males, but it is seen more frequently in women, or the first relations have been very traumatic, at early ages, without knowing well their couple, without feeling love, in epoch of student they do it in public places and in a rapid way to avoid that someone see them. Things like those cause with frequency premature ejaculation, they get accustomed to this rapidity, and it becomes a habit.
“We cannot forget the social causes, as: houses shared by several members of the family, lack of ventilation in the rooms, children who sleep in the same pieces as their parents”.
- Anyway, a major number of cases comes to you for a cause than for others …
- Certainly. The erectile sexual malfunction is the more frequent one; the man goes alone, without his couple. We still stumble over taboos about the topic and they are ashamed, or they do not have a stable partner; nevertheless, others come to us for mistake. I attended to a couple because he was thinking that he was suffering from premature ejaculation and she did not have this criterion, she was feeling satisfied.
“The most treated ones are the men over 60 for erectile sexual malfunction. Also those of about forty; and the women for lack of orgasms, almost always the young people treated are the males in full youth due to premature ejaculation, in this order”.
- If the sexual initiation happens in very early ages, can any malfunction be provoked in this sense?
- Sure. They are not prepared, they do not know each other very well, even nor do they feel love. They see each other, go out and can face a premature ejaculation, an absence of orgasm, and although it is not the topic they can face pregnancy in the adolescence. They rush; they do not live the nice epoch of engagement.
- Let’s imagine that the person is already in consultation: does it solve his problem?
- Yes, because it is functional or psychic, not for organic damage.
- In these consultations, I always say that we do not mention medicines, but: do you apply any treatment that does not take them implicitly?
- Yes, in couples as well as alone. Every case needs its method, we do not have a formula for all equally. Among those that we order to do the treatment in couple is the erectile sexual malfunction. That is, we send them to "date" for one week as in the old times, like giving her flowers, going to certain places, saying pretty things to each other, all this without penetration not even touching the erogenous areas. In the second week, they can play sexual games, touch and continue without penetration. When they are in the third one, after this agreeable preamble they can end with the penetration.
“We offer service to persons of the third age, they think that they can continue the same way as when they were younger, and it is not like that, in this stage of the life they need much more caresses, kisses, a pretty communication in every respect.
“We have a medicine that is taken 30 minutes before the sexual act, but it is not a miraculous tablet, this man cannot walk up and down all the time and come and that´s it, no, the caresses are necessary...
“In case of the premature ejaculation - it appears quickly of an inevitable and inopportune form - we indicate exercises in couple, and the absence of orgasm alone and in couple. In these cases, we verify lack of sex education, the orgasm is almost learned. Every person must know how he or she feels better, he or she is unique and every person feels it in his or her own way to reach the climax and to know what he or she desires. The female should not please the male, no, it is mutual, to be aware of your own body and sexual answers is something fundamental so that it takes place”.
- Do the young people use this medicine?
- They shouldn´t; nevertheless, they obtain it and use it.
- But if they have no problems with the erection …
- The tablets are a powerful vasodilator, the time of the erection gets longer, the performance.
- Can it hurt them?
- Of course, it can provoke them high blood pressure, something very dangerous in the young people. It is not convenient to take medicines without medical prescription; this is a principle we must not break.
- If the cause is linked to those social problems referred to the housings and rooms shared by many, issues that are not solved so quickly: what to do?
- We indicate variants as to look for a schedule in which the children are in the school, for example, people receive advices so that the daily routine does not bore them, they do not take such a rigid life, to go to other places. The couple needs a time for themselves and it has to look for it and to find it.
- Is the masturbation normal?
- Completely. Both in the male and in the female. If the person does it, he or she knows his or her body and they will be able to guide their couple. What would not be accepted is that this act goes so far as to constitute a compulsion, which does it continuously, or in case of the men in public places.
- Can it happen that someone comes to the psychiatrist and is sent to another specialist?
- Yes. In fact, this consultation is multidisciplinary because it discards if the ailment is for an organic reason.
- Organic cause: how?
- The diabetes mellitus, the menopause age, venous insufficiency in the men, among others.
- If you verified that the person endures some of these or other causes: what do you do?
- We send the person to the specialist that corresponds.
- Do you feel that the patient goes away satisfied?
- Of course, and later on we continue to follow the case for a time. The interested party has to put on his part, almost all the patients need psychotherapy.
- Do you think that in Cuba the persons come to the doctor for this phenomenon in an uninhibited way?
- No, we are sure that there are more sexual malfunctions in the street, without medical attention, that the treated ones; nevertheless, if they would come to the doctor they would solve their problem. Obviating it makes them unhappy, they feel shame, that is a reality and there is machismo. Sometimes we advise the masturbation, especially to the woman and they recount that it gives them disgust, how they feel disgusted of themselves and that is real. There is lack of culture of the matter and this is a brake.
- A recommendation?
-Especially to the adolescents, I will say to them that before the sexual relations, first they need to know themselves, to go so far as to practice them for love and that it must happen with protection, this way the worries diminish, and to do it in a suitable ambience. They must not consume medicine if they do not need it and if it is indicated by the doctor; if he or she presents some conflict should not be ashamed, just go to the specialist and for sure he or she will go out forward and happily.
“And for all ages I will say to them that love is like a garden, if you do not take care of it, it dies”. | {

Q:
Insert dynamic size object at arbitrary position in file
I have a binary file with the following structure:
+---------+-------+------+----+-------+
| Header | Obj1 | Obj2 | ... | Index |
+---------+-------+------+----+-------+
The Index is a vector of variable size depending on the number of objects and stores the file position for each object. E.g.
vector<size_t> index;
index.push_back(ofs.tellp());
write(reinterpret_cast<char *> obj, sizeof(obj));
Also the files are pretty big (1Gb+).
I'd like to put the index just after the header, so it's faster to read. Can I do this without having to copy and write all the objects twice? Thanks.
A:
You have two solutions:
use a separate file for the index
move on to a chunk based design
The first one is relatively obvious, so I'll only outline the second one: the problem here is that your index size depends on the number of objects you stream. It need not be so.
A solution would be to skip a definite amount of space (later used for indexing), stream the objects (up to N), record where you are, get back to the index to write it down, and then move on to the next chunk (note: the chunks are not fixed size here).
Example of layout:
- Step 1: skip index space and start streaming objects
| Header | <unused space for now> | Obj 1 | Obj 2 | O3 | ... Obj N |
- Step 2: after writing N objects write the index,
record the offset,
start a new chunk
| Header | I1 | ... | IN | Offset | Obj 1 | Obj 2 | O3 | ... Obj N | <unused sp
Your index is thus built as a linked list of fixed size chunks (N) interleaved in the middle of your storage.
Note: a third solution would be to use a simple SQLite file and let it index for you...

Additive solution-7 reduces the red blood cell cold storage lesion.
Transfusion of long-stored red blood cells (RBCs) is associated with decreased in vivo RBC recovery, delivery of RBC breakdown products, and increased morbidity and mortality. Reducing the burden of this RBC "storage lesion" is a major challenge in transfusion medicine. Additive solution-7 (AS-7) is a new RBC storage solution designed to improve RBC metabolism by providing phosphate and increasing buffering capacity. Storage quality in AS-7 was measured in a prospective, randomized, three-center trial using units of whole blood from healthy human subjects whose RBCs were stored for up to 56 days in AS-7 (n = 120) or for 42 days in the control solution AS-1 (n = 60). Hemolysis and shedding of protein-containing microvesicles were significantly reduced in RBCs stored in AS-7 for 42 and 56 days compared with RBCs stored in AS-1. Autologous in vivo recoveries of RBCs stored in AS-7 was 88 ± 5% at 42 days (n = 27) and 82 ± 3% at 56 days (n = 27), exceeding recoveries of RBCs stored in currently used solutions. Increasing the phosphate, pH range, and buffer capacity of a RBC storage system allowed RBCs to be stored better and longer than currently approved storage systems. AS-7 ameliorates the long-term storage lesion resulting in significantly increased viability in vitro and in vivo. | {

On one side is a crowd of Republicans trying to look presidential. On the other side is a lone Democrat trying to look normal.
There was Senator Marco Rubio, Republican of Florida, seeking to appear statesmanlike at a rally on Monday evening as he joined the race for the White House in 2016. There was Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, another likely Republican contender, leading a trade mission to Germany, France and Spain this week. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky is coming off a five-state chartered-jet trip to kick off his campaign, and former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida was in the swing state of Ohio on Tuesday to outline his economic agenda for business leaders.
Confident that her command of the world stage is well known — hey, Mr. Walker, I visited 112 countries as secretary of state; let me know when you get to Togo — Mrs. Clinton used her announcement video on Sunday to position herself as just one of many Americans (mothers, families, factory workers, gay fiancés) getting ready for big changes. With its progressive themes and checklist of ethnicities, the video looked like an Allstate ad selling anti-Republican insurance.
That day, Mrs. Clinton also set out in a van for Iowa, making unannounced pit stops like an everyday American in hopes of impressing (and hopefully not freaking out) fellow travelers with her suddenly accessible self. It was not your typical American road trip: The Secret Service was driving, two aides sat where Bill and Chelsea might, and presumably no one asked, “Are we there yet?” or demanded to watch a Disney DVD.
Then, in Iowa on Tuesday, Mrs. Clinton held a low-key round table with community college students to talk about their futures and hopes, at one point empathizing with a young woman who said her disabled sister would benefit from year-round schooling. Mrs. Clinton’s suggestion that she would support a constitutional amendment on campaign finance reform seemed almost offhand compared with her attempts to engage with the students.
The emergence of folksy Hillary and the ready-to-lead Republicans clearly signals the start of the Perception Primary, during which candidates seek to erase their deficits and persuade voters to see them differently.
“Mrs. Clinton knows that her image is elite, aloof and disconnected to average voters, while Republicans like Rubio, Walker and Paul each know they are perceived as untested and not ready for prime time,” said Richard Tafel, the founder of Log Cabin Republicans, a gay advocacy group, and an adviser to nonprofit groups about public policy. “The irony is that each party has to pretend to be like the other. The dynastic Clintons are pretending to be average Joes, while the average-Joe Republicans are pretending to be powerful global leaders.”
Steve Elmendorf, a Democratic strategist, said the Republican contenders had to clear the highest hurdle for a presidential candidate: “convincing voters they are up to the job.”
He believes that Mrs. Clinton has already passed that test, given her record and experience, and now needs to concentrate on connecting with people. “Her challenge is to look less presidential and focus voters on her message on middle-class economics,” Mr. Elmendorf said.
But perception can cut different ways: The danger for all of the candidates is that they will ultimately be seen as phony, given that voters have plenty of experience sniffing out the truth about politicians.
Mitt Romney sought to connect with broad cross sections of Americans during his presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2012, but many voters came to see him as a wealthy man with policy ideas aimed at helping people like himself. Al Gore tried to dress in earth tones in hopes of relating to more voters in 2000, while Michael S. Dukakis, a wonk’s wonk, tried to appear tough on defense issues by riding in a tank.
Mrs. Clinton plans to avoid the cities of Iowa in her inaugural campaign trip this week, focusing instead on coffee shops, a community college’s satellite campus and a family-owned business. Big rallies in major media markets would put her at a remove from voters and suggest that she is simply looking for a coronation as the Democratic nominee, her political advisers say.
Some Clinton supporters in Iowa and New Hampshire — the states she is visiting first, which have early nominating contests — believe that her down-home style is an authentic reaction to the need to reach out and fight for support in both states.
“It’s never a walk in the park winning elections in New Hampshire, and I think there will be one or two other Democratic candidates who could become formidable by coming up and campaigning and meeting voters,” said Kathy Sullivan, the Democratic national committeewoman from New Hampshire. “It’s been eight years since the last campaign, so she needs to introduce herself again, and doing a lot of small-scale events and having back-and-forth conversations with voters show that nothing is being taken for granted.”
But some Republicans contend that voters will not accept Mrs. Clinton as one of the “everyday Americans” that she featured in her video and vowed to fight for as president.
“Hillary didn’t become Hillary by being one of the gals; she became Hillary by not being one of the gals, but by being one of the guys, only smarter and craftier,” said Rich Galen, a Republican strategist and onetime aide to Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker. “The danger for Clinton is she has made a career of not being of the people. She has been a cipher, easily changing from leader to victim as circumstances dictate.”
While Mrs. Clinton has the spotlight all to herself for now in the Democratic field, as many as a dozen Republicans are jockeying for attention and looking for ways to be taken seriously.
Mr. Rubio, in his kickoff speech on Monday, sought to sound presidential by touching on issues at home (taxes) and abroad (support for Israel). But he also framed his White House aspirations around himself — with many references to “I,” “me” and “my” — rather than around ordinary Americans, as Mrs. Clinton did in her video. He got deeply personal only in talking about his immigrant parents, though he sidestepped any real discussion about the nation’s immigration system (which once made him a target of conservative ire when he tried to fix it with a comprehensive plan).
Mr. Rubio and most of his Republican rivals will be in New Hampshire this weekend for a state party summit meeting, huddling with groups of elected officials and party activists to make their case. So far, no candidate has risen above the rest.
“My head tells me that Jeb Bush is the only Republican looking presidential at this point, but my heart vacillates a little,” said Barry Wynn, a major Republican donor from South Carolina. “I’ve heard people say, when they listen to Bush in person, he can come across as presidential. But he and the other Republicans need to become sharper, more sure-footed, if one of them is going to beat Hillary and her I’m-like-you message.” | {

Collagen type 1 (COL1A1) Sp1 binding site polymorphism is associated with osteoporotic fractures but not with bone density in post-menopausal women from the Canary Islands: a preliminary study.
An association between the polymorphism for transcription factor Sp1 in the gene COL1A1 and low bone density (BMD) and osteoporotic fractures has been described but not confirmed for all races and ages. The aim of this preliminary work was to ascertain whether this association is present in women from the Canary Islands. Polymerase chain reaction RFLP was used to determine COL1A1 polymorphism Sp1 in 199 consecutive outpatient post-menopausal Caucasian women from the Canary Islands, aged 50-70 years. BMD was measured at lumbar spine and hip by DXA and at third lumbar vertebrae by QCT. Prevalent vertebral fractures were recorded on standard lateral X-ray film. Non-vertebral osteoporotic fractures were registered by medical record and self-reported history. Biochemical markers (serum osteocalcin, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase), blood calcium and phosphate were also assessed. Distribution genotypes were 113 (50.8%) GG homozygotes, 73 (36.7%) Ss heterozygotes and 7 (3.5%) TT homozygotes. All patients with osteoporotic fractures carried the GG allele more frequently than TT homozygotic women. The odds ratio was 3.01 (95% CI 1.6-5.7) for prevalent vertebral fractures (n=62) and 2.33 (95% CI 1.2-4.4) for all osteoporotic fractures (n=65) for the T-carrying allele vs TT homozygotic women. There was no difference in BMD measured by DXA or QCT, nor in bone markers, blood calcium or phosphate. This preliminary study confirmed that the presence of at least one copy of the T allele is associated with osteoporotic fractures, but not with low BMD, in women from the Canary Islands. | {

Diacetyl peroxide
Diacetyl peroxide is the organic peroxide with the formula (CH3CO2)2. It is a white solid or oily liquid with a sharp odor. Since the pure material poses an explosion hazard, it is often used as a solution, e.g., in dimethyl phthalate as a solvent.
Preparation
Diacetyl peroxide forms upon combining hydrogen peroxide and excess acetic anhydride. Peracetic acid is an intermediate.
Safety
Organic peroxides are typically explosive since they contain both the oxidizer, the O-O bond, and reducing agents, the C-C and C-H bonds.
It is shock sensitive and explosive.
The threshold quantity for Process Safety Management per Occupational Safety and Health Administration 1910.119 is if the concentration of the diacetyl peroxide solution is greater than 70%.
There have been reports of detonation of the pure material. The 25% solution also has explosive potential. The crystalline peroxide is especially shock sensitive and a high explosion risk.
Health hazards
Contact with liquid causes irritation of eyes and skin. If ingested, irritates mouth and stomach.

Q:
Calculate $\frac{\partial}{\partial x_k}(\frac 1{|x-y|^{n-2}})$ and $\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_j \partial x_k}(\frac 1{|x-y|^{n-2}})$?
I want to take first partial derivative w.r.t. $x_i$ (for $i,j,k=1,\ldots,n$) of
$$x\mapsto\frac 1{|x-y|^{n-2}},\quad x\neq y.$$
where $y\in\mathbb{R}^n$ is fixed.
Can I ask here if the following calculation is correct? I would like to make sure because I need to take the second partial derivative w.r.t. $x_i$ as well.
\begin{align}
\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i} \left(\frac 1{|x-y|^{n-2}} \right) &= \frac{\partial}{\partial x_i} |x-y|^{2-n} \\
&= \frac{\partial}{\partial x_i} \left(\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-y_i)^2 \right)^{\frac{2-n}2} \\
&= \frac{2-n}2 \left(\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-y_i)^2 \right)^{-\frac{n}2} \frac d{dx_i} (x_i-y_i)^2 \\
&= (2-n) \left(\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-y_i)^2 \right)^{-\frac{n}2} (x_i-y_i) \\
&= (2-n) \frac{x_i-y_i}{|x-y|^n}
\end{align}
Edit:
What about the second partial derivative? (Edit: Yes, Jack is right, the $i$'s below should have been $k$'s.)
\begin{align}
\frac{\partial^2}{\partial^2 x_k} \left(\frac 1{|x-y|^{n-2}} \right) &= (2-n) \frac{\partial}{\partial x_k} \left(\frac{x_i-y_i}{|x-y|^n} \right) \\
&= (2-n) \left(\frac{|x-y|^n \frac{\partial}{\partial x_k}(x_i-y_i)-(x_i-y_i) \frac{\partial}{\partial x_k}|x-y|^{2n}}{|x-y|^{2n}} \right) \\
&= (2-n) \left(\frac{|x-y|^n (1)-(x_i-y_i) 2n|x-y|^{n-1}(x_k-y_k)}{|x-y|^{2n}} \right) \\
&= (2-n)\left(\frac{1}{|x-y|^n}-2n \frac{(x_i-y_i)(x_k-y_k)}{|x-y|^{n+1}} \right)
\end{align}
Second edit: Following Jack's updated answer, I now have
\begin{align}
\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_j \partial x_k}\left(\frac 1{|x-y|^{n-2}} \right) &= \frac{\partial}{\partial x_j} \left(\frac{x_k-y_k}{|x-y|^n} \right)\\
&= \frac{\partial}{\partial x_j}(x_k-y_k) \frac 1{|x-y|^n} + (x_k-y_k) \frac{\partial}{\partial x_j} \frac 1{|x-y|^n} \\
&= \frac 1{|x-y|^n} + n \frac{(x_j-y_j)(x_k-y_k)}{|x-y|^{n+2}},
\end{align}
the last step owing to $(*)$ in Jack's answer with $n \mapsto n+2$.
A:
You calculation is basically correct except that you need to be careful with the dummy index.
\begin{align} \tag{*}
\frac{\partial}{\partial x_k} \left(\frac 1{|x-y|^{n-2}} \right) &= \frac{\partial}{\partial x_k} |x-y|^{2-n} \\
&= \frac{\partial}{\partial x_k} \left(\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-y_i)^2 \right)^{\frac{2-n}2} \\
&= \frac{2-n}2 \left(\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-y_i)^2 \right)^{-\frac{n}2}\frac {\partial}{\partial x_k} \left(\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-y_i)^2 \right) \\
&= \frac{2-n}2 \left(\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-y_i)^2 \right)^{-\frac{n}2}
\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{\partial}{\partial x_k} \left( (x_i-y_i)^2 \right) \\
&= \frac{2-n}2 \left(\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-y_i)^2 \right)^{-\frac{n}2}
2(x_k-y_k) \\
&= (2-n) \left(\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-y_i)^2 \right)^{-\frac{n}2} (x_k-y_k) \\
&=(2-n)\frac{x_k-y_k}{|x-y|^{n}}
\end{align}
Now to find $\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_k^2} \left(\frac 1{|x-y|^{n-2}} \right) $ it suffices by linearity to find
$$
\frac{\partial}{\partial x_k}\left(\frac{x_k-y_k}{|x-y|^{n}}\right).
$$
The product rule tells you that the nontrivial part is
$$
\frac{\partial}{\partial x_k}\left(\frac{1}{|x-y|^{n}}\right)\tag{**}
$$
But you can use $(*)$ to get $(**)$.
Here is another way to simplify the calculation (and notations) to get $(*)$. First notice that
$$
\frac{\partial}{\partial x_k}|x-y|^2=2(x_k-y_k).
$$
Then
\begin{align}
\frac{\partial}{\partial x_k} \left(\frac 1{|x-y|^{n-2}} \right) &=
\frac{\partial}{\partial x_k} (|x-y|^2)^{\frac{2-n}{2}}\\
&=\frac{2-n}{2} (|x-y|^2)^{\frac{-n}{2}}\cdot 2(x_k-y_k)
\end{align}
Similarly, you can find $(**)$.
[Added due to the change in OP] Now to find $\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_m\partial x_k} \left(\frac 1{|x-y|^{n-2}} \right) $ it suffices by linearity to find
$$
\frac{\partial}{\partial x_m}\left(\frac{x_k-y_k}{|x-y|^{n}}\right)=
(x_k-y_k)\frac{\partial}{\partial x_m}\left(\frac{1}{|x-y|^{n}}\right)+
\delta_{mk}\left(\frac{1}{|x-y|^{n}}\right)
$$
where $\delta_{mk}=1$ when $m=k$ and $\delta_{mk}=0$ when $m\neq k$.
The nontrivial part is
$$
\frac{\partial}{\partial x_m}\left(\frac{1}{|x-y|^{n}}\right)
=\frac{\partial}{\partial x_m}(|x-y|^2)^{(-n/2)}\\
=\frac{-n}{2}(|x-y|^2)^{-\frac{n}{2}-1}2(x_m-y_m)\\
=-n(x_m-y_m)|x-y|^{-n-2}

Leverkusen -
Die Polizei hat am Dienstagabend die wahrscheinlich größte Massenschlägerei außerhalb der Fußball-Szene verhindert, die in Leverkusen je gedroht hat. Dazu hatten sich rund 200 Personen verabredet.
Der Busbahnhof war über Stunden gesperrt, weil dort eine große Zahl Personen auf Waffen untersucht, Personalien festgestellt und auch einige in Gewahrsam genommen wurden. Ein Augenzeuge berichtete, dass gegen 18.30 Uhr eine Gruppe Männer – darunter auch viele Jugendliche – am Wiesdorfer Bahnhof aufgetaucht waren. Über die Herkunft der Personen machte die Polizei zunächst keine Angaben. Es handelte sich augenscheinlich um junge Männer.
Ein Bus der Wupsi wurde von der Polizei vorübergehend benutzt, um die Festgehaltenen zu untersuchen und Personalien festzustellen. Ralf Krieger Foto:
Die Lage soll sich zuerst im äußersten Norden Rheindorfs entwickelt haben. Der Polizei waren Hinweise zugegangen, dass sich zwei verfeindete Gruppen dort nahe der Endhaltestelle Peenestraße zur Schlägerei versammelt hätten. Die Polizei schritt dort schon kurz nach 17 Uhr ein. Hier, wie später auch in Wiesdorf, wurden bei den Beteiligten Gegenstände wie Mundschutz oder Handschuhe gefunden.
Unklarer Anlass für die Konfrontation
Nachdem in Rheindorf für Ruhe gesorgt war, sollte die Schlägerei wohl in Wiesdorf stattfinden. Die Lage war verworren. Noch am Abend war für Außenstehende nicht erklärlich, was der Anlass der Konfrontation gewesen sein könnte. Eine Gruppe von etwa 50 Personen soll sich in die Wiesdorfer City abgesetzt haben, laut Augenzeugen seien dann etwa 100 Personen aus einem Zug herausgeholt worden, noch bevor es zu Auseinandersetzungen kommen konnte.
Einheiten von Bereitschaftspolizei und Bundespolizei rückten zur Verstärkung auf dem Busbahnhof an. Ralf Krieger Foto:
Polizei und Bundespolizei fuhren mit einem Großaufgebot auf und stellten die 100 jungen Migranten auf dem Bürgersteig nebeneinander auf. Ein Mädchen war dabei. Wer sich ausweisen konnte, durfte zuerst aus der Reihe treten und sich durchsuchen lassen. Viele der jungen Männer machten provozierende Gesten gegenüber den Polizisten wie auch zum Fotografen und feixten. Es machte den Anschein, dass die Sache für manche mehr ein Event als eine unangenehme Angelegenheit war. Zahlreiche Schaulustige verfolgten die ungewöhnlich große Polizeiaktion als ein Spektakel.
Den Busbahnhof fuhr jetzt kein Bus mehr an, auch der Zug stand immer noch auf dem Gleis still. Die Wupsi hatte einen Bus als „Gefangenentransporter“ zur Verfügung gestellt, darin saßen ein paar der Männer mit Handschellen. Sechs von ihnen sind laut Angaben eines Polizeisprechers zur Gefahrenabwehr in Gewahrsam genommen worden. (mit ger) | {

Books I Recommend (that Transformed My Life)
When I was a child I was an avid reader. I read 100’s of books. Looking back now I still vividly remember the Little House books, Robinson Crusoe, The Swiss Family Robinson, and The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle. These adventures played a big part in shaping my life and probably in part turned me into the adventurer and explorer that I am today. There is little doubt in my mind that reading is one of the most beneficial ways that I spent my time as a child.
I wish I could say that I stayed an avid reader for my whole life but in college I think partying took over to a great extent and in recent years the computer has largely replaced books for me. In 2011 I began a transformation from From Drunk Dude to Dude Making a Difference and that was fueled more by documentaries than anything else. I’ve shared the influential documentaries at 23 films that changed my life. Although documentaries were my greatest source of education and inspiration in my transformation there were also many books that had a profound influence on me. I can’t remember all of them but the following is a list of books that have made their mark in my mind and that I encourage you to read as well. Of course there are many other books out there that could have had a huge impact on me had they come into my hands but these are the books that I have read and that I recommend.
I was sleeping on the streets of downtown San Diego spending time with people with no home and checked out a copy from the public library. I don’t recall which biography it was exactly that I read but every one has great value to it. He was a great inspiration to me before reading his biography but the inspiration grew after this read. See this page for some of my favorite quotes by him.
Yvon Chouinard is the founder of Patagonia and 1% for the Planet and a huge inspiration to me. Through his business, nonprofit, and personal life he truly is leading the way into a more sustainable world. These books really inspired and informed me on how to carry out my business in an ethical manner. In his mind the answer to living in a healthy world is simple; know the affects of your actions and do what is right. It comes down to living simply, reducing consumption, buying quality products that last, and giving back to what gives to us.
In Defense of Food just happens to be the Michael Pollan book that I got my hands on but even having not read any of his other books I would recommend every one of them. He is a brilliant man who explains food so simply yet so deeply. I recommend his books to anyone who wants to know whats going on with the food they are eating.
Through my years of dumpster diving activism Tristram Stuart has become a great friend of mine. It wasn’t until after we became friends that I finally read this book. I was already widely versed on the topic of food waste this book still managed to teach me so much. It’s a must read for anyone who wants to make an impact in the world of food waste.
I first saw the movie and a few years later read the book. Christopher McCandless is hugely inspirational to me and I have a lot of respect for him. This is an adventure worth reading and that should get you thinking.
A year of eating only local, mostly only food that Barbara and her family grew themselves. This is an experiment that I plan to embark on myself, only to a bit of a greater extreme than them. This book really made me want to dive into growing my own heirloom food and to connect with the soil.
This is the little shelf of books that I kept while I was living at The Teeny Greeny.
“An illuminating perspective on the science of meditation—and a handbook for transforming our minds, bodies, and lives. In The Joy of Living, world-renowned Buddhist teacher Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche—the “happiest man in the world”—invites us to join him in unlocking the secrets to finding joy and contentment in the everyday. Using the basic meditation practices he provides, we can discover paths through our problems, transforming obstacles into opportunities to recognize the unlimited potential of our own minds.”
The Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama XIV and Howard C. Cutler“Nearly every time you see him, he’s laughing, or at least smiling. And he makes everyone else around him feel like smiling. He’s the Dalai Lama, the spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet, a Nobel Prize winner, and an increasingly popular speaker and statesman. What’s more, he’ll tell you that happiness is the purpose of life, and that “the very motion of our life is towards happiness.” How to get there has always been the question. He’s tried to answer it before, but he’s never had the help of a psychiatrist to get the message across in a context we can easily understand. Through conversations, stories, and meditations, the Dalai Lama shows us how to defeat day-to-day anxiety, insecurity, anger, and discouragement. Together with Dr. Cutler, he explores many facets of everyday life, including relationships, loss, and the pursuit of wealth, to illustrate how to ride through life’s obstacles on a deep and abiding source of inner peace.”
There are so many thousands of incredible books out there and these are just some of the ones that have had a positive impact on me. And for many of them it was sheerly a matter of luck or coincidence that I ended up reading them. The library is one of my favorite places to spend time and I highly encourage you to support your local library and spend time there. Used book shops and Little Free Libraries are also great resources for expanding your knowledge.

Awesome! I've been waiting for the list from you. Loved "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle." Thanks for posting. One book on food, and food regulation that really struck me was "Folks, This Ain't Normal" by Joel Salatin. The other that I really enjoyed was "The Good Life" by Helen and Scott Nearing. Also check out "This life is in your Hands" by Melissa Coleman and "The One-Straw Revolution" by Masanobu Fukuoka
Rob, the Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle was and is the most affecting book for me. If you're yet to read it I can't recommend it enough. Any outer purpose to life is always secondary to our primary, inner purpose – to be fully present in the now and all outer purposes are awash with joy and grace when one has their main focus on the inner purpose.
I already put many of these on hold at the library! Here are some that have inspired me over the years:
Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair with Trash-Edward Humes, This is a must read for those trying to understand how we deal with the trash placed on the curb which magically disappears week after week. "Edward Humes investigates trash—what’s in it; how much we pay for it; how we manage to create so much of it; and how some families, communities, and even nations are finding a way back from waste to discover a new kind of prosperity"
Stranger in the Forest: On Foot Across Borneo- Eric Hansen, First westener to walk across Borneo, I have endless respect for people who venture into the sheer unknown. "…provides a rare and intimate look at the vanishing way of life of one of the last surviving groups of rain forest dwellers. Hansen's absorbing, and often chilling, account of his exploits is tempered with the humor and humanity that prompted the Penan to take him into their world and to share their secrets"
Eating Animals-Jonathan Safran Foer “I'm not better than anyone, and I'm not trying to convince people to live by my standards of what's right. I'm trying to convince them to live by their own.” -Jonathan Safran Foer, Finding works about food that are not preachy can be difficult. I dont want to be told one way is better than the other, but to be presented with views you can pick and choose to align with your own morals and beliefs. Enjoyable and informative read. | {

Majority of College Students Not Marketing Themselves ...
Majority of College Students Not Marketing Themselves Online For Future Careers
According to a new study by Millennial Branding and StudentAdvisor.com, college students are not using the power of social media to develop their careers while in school.
Over 200 students were surveyed for the study. Of the participants, 85 percent believe internships are important for their future careers, yet only 34 percent have LinkedIn accounts. LinkedIn being the largest professional social network and a hub for both employers and job seekers. The site is “a primary online mechanism for connecting to internship opportunities,” the study claims.
The study shows that despite the current generation growing up with the internet, they do not understand personal branding and do not take advantage of the opportunities the internet offers to promote themselves for their future professional lives.
The lack of personal promotion online is not the only type of future professional development students lack, the study hints. Only 29 percent say they have received career help from their university, only 22 percent are involved with professional development groups or groups related to their career choice, and only 20 percent have taken or would be willing to take a course on social media.
Editor-in-Chief of StudentAdvisor.com, Dean Tsouvalas is quoted in the study as saying: “College students are missing out on a very valuable resource by not leveraging LinkedIn. Internship opportunities, and the ability to network alumni or gain incredible insight into a company, are all there, waiting for students to take advantage.”
So students, are you taking advantage of social media to promote yourselves? And do you feel you and your fellow students lack professional development skills? Let us know in the comments.

Epinephrine-induced cyclic AMP production in skin fibroblasts from patients with dementia of Alzheimer type and controls.
Skin biopsies were obtained from six patients with dementia of Alzheimer type (DAT) and from three hospitalized age matched controls. Fibroblasts from these biopsies were grown in culture and compared for their growth characteristics and sensitivity to epinephrine with four cultures from age matched healthy individuals. The growth characteristics were similar in all three groups. The basal levels of cyclic AMP and the epinephrine-induced increase of cyclic AMP levels were also similar in control and DAT cells. | {

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - When is a tweet just a tweet?
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump speaks at the USA Thank You Tour event at the Wisconsin State Fair Exposition Center in West Allis, Wisconsin, U.S., December 13, 2016. REUTERS/Shannon Stapleton
A debate is percolating in the U.S. State Department, where diplomats measure their words with demitasse spoons, on how to handle Donald Trump’s Twitter commentary if he continues to tweet after he becomes U.S. president on Jan. 20.
By tradition, anything the president says is regarded as U.S. policy and can be repeated to foreign officials without fear of contradiction, at least from the White House.
But Trump has questioned bedrock planks of U.S. policy, such as whether Taiwan is part of “one China” or whether Washington would defend NATO allies, causing consternation at home and abroad.
“I have never hesitated to take anything that POTUS said in speeches, press conferences, and other remarks as anything but policy,” a midlevel diplomat who has served on four continents wrote Dec. 7 on an internal State Department discussion board, in reference to the President of the United States (POTUS).
“But what about tweets?” he asked.
“Given the president-elect’s penchant for using (Twitter) in a much more spontaneous context than most other USG officials, how should FSOs regard those statements?” he added, referring to U.S. government (USG) foreign service officers (FSOs).
“In theory, we all should have a firm grasp of what is hyberbole (sic) and what is not, but in practice we should not be so sure. I for one am done making assumptions in this area for at least the next four years,” the diplomat added.
He then appealed to the State Department’s Bureau of Public Affairs to issue an ALDAC, or formal message to “All Diplomatic and Consular Posts,” clarifying matters.
The post, titled “Is a Tweet policy?” on “The Sounding Board,” a forum on the State Department’s intranet, prompted thoughtful, though equally perplexed, comments.
Another official wrote that he was confident President Barack Obama’s comments are to be taken “seriously and literally”, Trump may want his tweets to be taken both “seriously and figuratively,” he wrote.
“Assuming there is a strategy here, it would seem that it would be to create a sense of ambiguity around issues previously thought to be settled for the purpose of leveraging a better deal to advance USG interests,” he added. “Miscommunication may be the very purpose of the President Elect’s tweets.”
A spokesman for the State Department said it would have no comment on how the next administration and president may use social media.
Obama has tweeted since 2015 from the account @POTUS.
Rather than suggesting specific policies, Obama used the handle to encourage Americans to vote, to cheerlead for Hillary Clinton, Trump’s election opponent, and to remember the recently deceased, including writer Elie Wiesel and golfer Arnold Palmer.
From his Twitter account, @realdonaldtrump, Trump has mocked Clinton as “Crooked Hillary,” attacked a former Miss Universe and sniped at the parents of a Muslim American U.S. Army captain who died in Iraq after the soldier’s father spoke against him.
On Nov. 27, he tweeted “I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally” but provided no evidence for the claim, which electoral officials have denied. Trump lost the popular vote by close to three million votes.
The president-elect has not said definitively whether he will continue tweeting after Jan. 20. Trump’s transition team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A third official said the entire government would need to deal with the issue to “limit the amount of miscommunication a specific POTUS tweet could engender.”
“As the great Bette Davis line goes, ‘Fasten your seatbelt, it’s going to be a bumpy ride,’” he wrote. | {

Q:
restrict some quantity for adding to cart
we needed "pre-order/Back order" feature [ user can buy out-of-stock Products ]
so we wrote custom module. how it works is , if we set value
"yes" to pre order attribute, it will allow for pre-order,
for "NO", it will not show "Pre order" button in view page.
but problem is user can enter any number of quantity & add to cart items.
what we need is what quantity we enter in backend, only it should allow that much quantity to add-to-cart.
<?php $_collectionSize = $_productCollection->count() ?>
<?php $_columnCount = $this->getColumnCount(); ?>
<?php $i=0; foreach ($_productCollection as $_product): ?>
<?php if ($i++%$_columnCount==0): ?>
<ul class="products-grid">
<?php endif ?>
<li class="item<?php if(($i-1)%$_columnCount==0): ?> first<?php elseif($i%$_columnCount==0): ?> last<?php endif; ?>">

The background description provided herein is for the purpose of generally presenting the context of the disclosure. Work of the presently named inventors, to the extent it is described in this background section, as well as aspects of the description that may not otherwise qualify as prior art at the time of filing, are neither expressly nor impliedly admitted as prior art against the present disclosure.
In recent years, with prosperous development of display technologies, display devices (for example, computers or television screens) are increasingly valued. Conventionally, a display device includes a color filter substrate, a display medium, and an active device array substrate. In addition, a spacer is also disposed between the active device array substrate and the color filter substrate, to prevent the two substrates from contacting each other. However, in a manufacturing process of the display device, the color filter substrate and the active device array substrate are easily misplaced, and consequently a visual effect of the display device is affected. In addition, the spacer and the active device array substrate are also vulnerable to an external force to generate relative displacement or deformation. Consequently, an unpredictable phenomenon occurs. For example, the spacer may cause an alignment layer to be peeled off. Consequently, a phenomenon of a shimmering bright dot or light leakage of the display device occurs. | {

Image caption Climate temperature predictions can influence planning, such as for sea defences
Global temperatures could rise by 1.4-3.0C (2.5-5.4F) above levels for late last century by 2050, a computer simulation has suggested.
Almost 10,000 climate simulations were run on volunteers' home computers.
The projections,published in Nature Geoscience, are somewhat higher than those from other models.
The researchers aimed to explore a wider range of possible futures, which they say helps "get a handle" on the uncertainties of the climate system.
People planning for the impacts of climate change need to consider the possibility of warming of up to 3C by 2050, even on a mid-range emission scenario, the researchers say.
The study - run throughclimateprediction.netwith the BBC Climate Change Experiment - ran simulations using a complex atmosphere-ocean climate model.
The representations of physical parameters were varied between runs of the model, reflecting uncertainties about precisely how the climate system works.
And the forecast range was derived from models that accurately reproduced observed temperature changes over the last 50 years.
The low end of their range is similar to that of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its 2007 report, but the high end is somewhat above the range their analysis produced.
'Innovative' ensemble
Myles Allen of the School of Geography and Environment and Department of Physics, Oxford University, principal investigator of climateprediction.net, said other climate modelling groups' data did not "set out to explore the full range of uncertainty, which is why studies like ours are needed."
The research was described as "an important step toward estimating uncertainty more comprehensively," by Gabi Hegerl, professor of climate system science at the University of Edinburgh.
The results were also described as "very promising" by Prof Corinne Le Quere, director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of East Anglia.
"Better constrained climate projections are needed to help plan a wide range of adaptation measures, from sea defences to water storage capacity and biodiversity conservation areas," she added.
However, the research was questioned by Julian Hunt, emeritus professor of climate modelling at University College London.
He said: "I have reservations about relying on a model that combines land temperatures - which are clearly rising - with sea temperatures which can be subject to big decadal fluctuations."
He said the higher range of the prediction was looking "increasingly likely", but for three particular reasons: | {

Cecilia Freire
Cecilia Freire Peñas (born 17 November 1981) is a Spanish actress best known for playing Blanca Román on Física o Química (2008–2009) and Rita Montesinos on Velvet (2014–2016).
Biography
Cecilia Freire felt a calling to be an actress as a child, and started studying acting at age 14.
She has worked as a film, theater, and television actress. In 2008 she became very popular for her role in the film Mortadelo and Filemon. Mission: Save the Planet. She has also appeared in films such as No Shame in 2001 and in 2008.
In theater, she has worked in London in The Winter's Tale, while in Spain she has been in plays such as La katarsis del tomatazo and Pero ¿quién mató el teatro?, in addition to having taken her first steps in shorts like La habitación de los abrigos by Nerea Madariaga.
In television, she appeared in on La 1 (2003), on the Telecinco series (2006), which was not very successful, and played Setefilla on Hospital Central on Telecinco (2007).
From 2008 to 2009, she was part of the Antena 3 series Física o Química in the role of Blanca, the Zurbarán Institute's literature professor, which made her known to the general public. She was one of its veterans, with a character who was always very prominent in stories, but left the series to focus on her theatrical career, having already been successful in the play Luz de gas. Her character Blanca quit the Zurbarán after being left at the altar, and departed for New York, leaving behind her boyfriend Berto, her friend Irene, and her students. She returned at the end of the seventh season to mark the end of the series.
In 2010, she starred in and appeared in the short film Perra. In 2011 she shot another short, Aunque todo vaya mal, the directing debut of the actress , who had joined Física o Química to play Marina, the new philosophy professor, just after Freire left.
In 2012, she performed in on laSexta as a monologist.
From 2014 to 2016 she gave life to the character Rita Montesinos on the Antena 3 series Velvet. Rita is a seamstress in the Galleries, who along with her friends Ana (Paula Echevarría) and Luisa (Manuela Vellés) and her sister Clara (Marta Hazas) are known as the "Velvet girls". Freire appeared in the first four seasons of the series. In October 2016 she won Best Female Performer at the 63rd edition of the Ondas Awards for her role as Rita Montesinos.
In November 2016 she played Inma in the film Don't Blame the Karma for Being an Idiot, a comedy directed by Maria Ripoll based on Laura Norton's homonymous novel.
Since 2018 she has starred in the TVE series , where she shares the screen with actresses such as Macarena García, , and Ana Wagener.

Erythropoietin prevents dialysis fluid-induced apoptosis of mesothelial cells.
In peritoneal dialysis (PD)-treated patients, denudation of the mesothelium correlates with peritoneal fibrosis and vascular changes. Since recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) induces a range of cytoprotective cellular responses, rHuEPO treatment may reduce PD fluid (PDF)-induced damage. To investigate the antiapoptotic effect and mechanism of rHuEPO in peritoneal mesothelial cells (PMCs), isolated mice PMCs were used for in vitro characterization of rHuEPO effects. To confirm the in vitro effects, active caspase-3 was analyzed in imprints of liver visceral peritoneum of mice pretreated overnight with rHuEPO (5000 U/kg intraperitoneally) and exposed to PDF (Dianeal 4.25%; Baxter Healthcare, Deerfield, Illinois, USA) for 4 hours. Mouse PMCs expressed EPO-receptor mRNA and protein. Short exposure to rHuEPO (5 U/mL) induced phosphorylation of JAK2, STAT5, and ERK1/2. PMCs pretreated for 1 hour with rHuEPO showed reduced PDF-induced caspase-3 activation (49.6%) and DNA fragmentation (38.4%) in comparison to cells treated by PDF alone (p < 0.05). rHuEPO treatment induced an increase in ERK1/2 phosphorylation and reduced levels of PDF-induced phospho-P38. PD98059, a specific inhibitor of ERK activation, fully blocked the protective effect of rHuEPO. In mice, rHuEPO reduced the apoptotic effect of PDF, as assessed by the level of active caspase-3. Our study presents new insights into clinical use of rHuEPO in the setting of PD. We found that rHuEPO provides ERK1/2-dependent protection to PMCs from PDF-induced apoptosis. The use of rHuEPO, or any of its new derivatives that do not stimulate erythropoiesis, should be considered for peritoneal preservation. | {

The present invention relates to a child seat, and particularly to a child seat for use on a child swing. More particularly, the present invention relates to a child seat having an adjustable seat back arranged to assume several positions relative to a seat bottom of the child seat, a support structure for appending the child seat to support arms appended to a swing motor of a child swing, and a child restraint apparatus to prevent the child from inadvertently sliding off of the front edge of the child seat.
Child seats that adjust a child's position by pivoting the seat back relative to the seat bottom are well known in the art. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,998,307 to Cone, U.S. Pat. No. 4,762,364 to Young, U.S. Pat. No. 4,325,578 to Borucki, U.S. Pat. No. 3,366,294 to Stephenson, U.S. Pat. No. 3,054,637 to Pambello, and U.S. Pat. No. 1,876,111 to Van Guelpen all disclose child seats having seat backs that are adjustable relative to the seat bottoms.
Further, child seats for use on child swings are widely accepted, and child swings having child seats are also well known in the art. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,807,872 to Spilman et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,325,578 to Borucki, U.S. Pat. No. 4,323,233 to Gebhard, U.S. Pat. No. 1,544,187 to Schroeder, U.S. Pat. No. 1,379,566 to Holland, U.S. Pat. No. 1,231,686 to Zuniga, U.S. Pat. No. 648,740 to Haggard et al., U.S. Pat. No. 465,275 to Kennedy et al., and U.S. Pat. No. 463,863 to Johnson all disclose child swings having child seats for use on the child swings.
What is needed is a child seat having an adjustable seat back capable of being fixed at a number of positions between a reclined position and an upright position. Ideally, such a child seat could be formed to include a support-receiving structure for mounting the child seat to support arms appended to a swing motor. Also, such a child seat would include a child restraint apparatus movable between an upright child-restraining position above the seat bottom and an unobtrusive child-releasing position.
According to the present invention, a child seat is provided for a swing. The child seat includes a seat shell having a seat bottom with a front edge and a back edge. An adjustable seat back is pivotably appended to the back edge of the seat bottom and extends upwardly from the seat bottom. The child seat further includes swing support-receiving structures that are arranged to receive support arms appended to a swing motor. The support arms and the support-receiving structures cooperate to suspend the child seat above a floor. Additionally, the child seat includes a rotatable restraint bar that is usable to restrain a child seated in the seat shell.
The adjustable seat back is adjustable between an upright position and a reclined position. The adjustable seat back includes a mechanism for locking the seat back in several positions relative to the seat bottom. The locking mechanism has a peg mounted to the seat back. The peg reciprocates between a seat back-locking position and a seat back-unlocking position. The seat shell further includes a wall arranged to define a peg-receiving notch. The peg-receiving notch receives the peg when the peg is in the seat back-locking position. The peg and the peg-receiving notch cooperate to fix the seat back relative to the seat shell when the peg is received by the peg-receiving notch.
Advantageously, the adjustable seat back is formed in a seat back shell that is pivotably appended to the seat shell. The seat shell has a proximal end and a distal end. The seat shell further includes two spaced-apart side edges positioned to lie between the proximal end and the distal end. Two side arms are appended to the side edges and extend upwardly therefrom. A first pivot axis lies in spaced-apart relation to the seat bottom adjacent to the proximal end and intersects both side arms. A bottom surface of the seat shell includes a nesting surface adjacent to the proximal end. The nesting surface is arranged to curve along an arc having a radius that is constant about the first pivot axis.
The seat back shell also has a proximal end and a distal end. The seat back shell further includes two spaced-apart side edges positioned to lie between the proximal end and the distal end. Two side arms are appended to the side edges and extend upwardly therefrom. A second pivot axis lies in spaced-apart relation to the seat back adjacent to the distal end and intersects both side arms. A top surface of the seat back shell includes a mating surface adjacent to the distal end. The mating surface is arranged to curve along an arc having a radius that is constant about the second pivot axis. The curvature of the mating surface provides the seat back shell with a shell-receiving cavity adjacent to the distal end of the seat back shell.
The seat back shell is rotatably appended to the seat shell. The proximal end of the seat shell is positioned to lie in the shell-receiving cavity. The seat shell and the seat back shell are arranged so that the first pivot axis and the second pivot axis are coincident and the nesting surface fully engages the mating surface when the seat back is in the reclined position.
In preferred embodiments, the pivot axis lies in a transverse direction across the seat shell and the seat back shell. Also, the child seat includes a longitudinal dimension perpendicular to the transverse direction. As the care giver pivots the seat back shell relative to the seat shell the nesting surface slides over the mating surface. Though the size of an overlapping area of the nesting surface and the mating surface changes as the seat back shell pivots relative to the seat shell, the nesting and mating surfaces remain in full engagement in overlapping area through the full range of movement of the seat back shell relative to the seat shell 28.
Illustratively, an adjustable seat back in accordance with the present invention is pivotably mounted to a seat bottom included in a child seat for use on a child swing. It is within the scope of the present invention to include such an adjustable seat back in a wide variety of child-supporting units such as car seats, high chairs, car beds, child carriers, strollers, and other types of child seats.
Ideally, two locking mechanisms for locking the seat back relative to the seat bottom are provided with the child seat in accordance with the present invention. One mechanism is appended to the seat shell adjacent to the first side arm and the second mechanism is appended to the seat shell adjacent to the second side arm. Also, the pegs are preferably appended to spring assemblies which are appended to the seat back shell. The spring assemblies urge the pegs to seat back-locking positions in which the pegs are inserted into peg-receiving notches. Release handles, each of which is movable between a peg-inserting position and a peg-releasing position, are appended to the spring assemblies. The release handles move the pegs from the seat back-locking positions to seat back-unlocking positions.
When the care giver wishes to adjust the position of the seat back, the care giver grasps the child seat with both hands placing one hand on the first side arm and the other hand on the second side arm. The release handles are arranged so that the care givers fingers will engage the release handles. The care giver then simply squeezes the release handles to unlock the seat back-locking mechanisms, adjusts the seat back to the desired position relative to the seat bottom, and releases the release handles to lock the seat back-locking mechanisms and fix the seat back relative to the seat bottom.
The nesting and mating surfaces of the seat shell and the seat back shell cooperate with the locking mechanisms, including the pegs appended to the seat back shell and the peg-receiving notch formed in the seat shell, to provide a child seat with an adjustable seat back. The seat back is pivotable relative to the seat shell and can be selectively locked relative to the seat shell when the care giver allows the peg to be received by the peg-receiving notch.
The seat shell can be formed to include more than one peg-receiving notch. Each peg-receiving notch formed in the seat shell and positioned to receive the peg when the seat back is in a position between the upright position and the reclined position provides an additional intermediate position in which the seat back can be fixed to the seat shell. The seat back can be arranged to be fixed is as many positions as desired between the upright position and the reclined position for which there is room to form notches in the seat shell
Construction of the child seat using a seat shell having a nesting surface and a seat back shell having a mating surface is particularly advantageous. The mating surface and a top surface of the seat back shell adjacent to the nesting surface provide an essentially smooth and continuous seating surface for the child. As the seat back is pivoted relative to the seat bottom, the top surface of the seat shell and the mating surface of the seat back shell continue to provide an essentially smooth and continuous seating surface. The top surface and the mating surface are arranged so that adjustments of the seat back are essentially imperceptible underneath a child seated in the seat shell so that the only change noticed by the child is the child's change of position.
The seat back locking mechanism cooperates with the seat shell and the seat back shell to provide a child seat that can be easily adjusted between several positions without causing discomfort or significant shifting of the child. The seat back can be fixed in several positions relative to the seat bottom and can easily be adjusted and locked into a different position by the care giver.
The seat shell further includes the support-receiving structure which is appended to the seat shell and is arranged to receive support arms appended to a swing motor. The support arms and the support-receiving structure are arranged to suspend the seat above a floor.
The seat shell and the side arms appended to the seat shell further include a bottom surface. Each side arm includes an inner side wall, a top wall appended to a top edge of the inner side wall, and an outer side wall appended to the top wall. The inner side wall, the top wall, and the outer side wall cooperate to define a downwardly opening U-shaped channel. The support-receiving structure is disposed within the U-shaped channel and is appended to the bottom surface underneath the top wall.
The support receiving structure includes a U-shaped bridge and an inverted U-shaped bracket positioned to lie in spaced-apart relation to the bridge. The bridge and the bracket are each appended to a bottom surface of the top wall. In preferred embodiments, a second U-shaped bridge is appended to the bottom surface of the top wall between the first bridge and the first bracket, and a second inverted U-shaped bracket is appended to the bottom surface of the top wall adjacent to the first bridge, with the first bridge positioned to lie between the second bracket and the second bridge.
The support arms include mounting ends that are formed so that a transverse cross section of the mounting ends are non-circular. The support-receiving structures are arranged to receive the non-circular mounting ends. The non-circular shape of the mounting ends of the support arms cooperate with the corresponding shape of the support-receiving structures to fix the support arms and render the support arms unable to rotate relative to the seat shell.
Illustratively, a child seat having an adjustable seat back in accordance with the present invention is intended for use on a child swing. However, it is within the scope of the present invention to include such an adjustable seat back in a wide variety of child-supporting units such as car seats, high chairs, car beds, child carriers, strollers, and other types of child seats.
For the reasons described above, use of the support structures of the present invention on a child seat for use on a child swing eliminates the twisting and yaw movement of the child seat and the support arms. Typically when mounting a child seat to a swing frame structure it is necessary to improve the stability of the structure by providing an additional support member apart from the seat shell and arranged to directly connect support arms that are received on both sides of the child seat. However, the structural stability provided by the support structures of the present invention permits mounting a child seat to a child swing without providing any member apart from the seat shell to directly connect the two mounting arms. As a result, use of the support structures of the present invention simplifies the design and the assembly of the child seat.
In preferred embodiments, the child seat further includes a rotatable restraint bar that is usable to restrain a child seated in the seat shell. The restraint bar includes a post having a base, a tip, and a stop tab appended to the base. The base of the post is mounted for rotation to the seat shell. The base is arranged so that the tip swings easily along an arc between a child-restraining position above the seat bottom and a child-releasing position in which the stop tab engages the seat shell. In preferred embodiments, the restraint bar is T-shaped and includes a transverse cross member having a top wall arranged to define a tray having a flat upwardly-facing top surface and a lip surrounding the perimeter of the top surface, the transverse cross member being appended to the tip of the rotatable post.
Advantageously, a child seat for a swing is provided. The child seat includes an adjustable seat back that is pivotably appended to the seat bottom, swing support-receiving structures that are arranged to receive support arms appended to a swing motor, and a rotatable restraint bar that is usable to restrain a child seated in the seat shell. Consumers will appreciate the convenience and the ease of use of the various features of this child seat. Manufacturers will likewise appreciate the ease of assembly provided by the designs of the various component elements of this child seat.
Additional objects, features, and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment exemplifying the best mode of carrying out the invention as presently perceived. | {

[Current methods in molecular pathology].
Current methods in molecular pathology Abstract. Macroscopy and microscopy were the cornerstones of tumor analysis in pathology for many years. Recently, we have witnessed an enormous increase in knowledge of genetic and epigenetic alterations occurring in tumors. The detection of these alterations is becoming increasingly important during pathological work-up because they have an important impact on the diagnosis, prognosis, therapy, and prevention of tumors. It is therefore crucial to have appropriate methods available to detect these genetic alterations, such as mutations, translocations or changes in the methylation profile. In the following review article, we will present current methods that are being applied in molecular pathology. | {

[Clinical evaluation of patients with pyriform sinus fistula].
Thirteen patients with pyriform sinus fistula treated surgically at our department were clinically evaluated. Twelve (92%) fistulae occurred in the left pyriform sinus, and one (8%) in the right. There were a mean of 4 infectious episodes before the final diagnosis. The median age at the first infection was 5 years, and the median age at surgery was 13 years, although there were 2 elderly patients (over 60 years old) in this series. Association with pharyngeal foreign body was suspected in the case with onset at 81 years of age. There was a history of previous surgery for cervical disease in 54% of the patients. The final diagnosis was based on delineation of the fistula by hypopharyngography, although coronal section of CT and MRI were also useful for understanding the morphopathology. The surgical procedure consisted of identification and staining of the fistula under direct hypopharyngoscopy, followed by identification and extirpation of the fistula until the distal end via a cervical approach. There was no recurrence of infections, although resection of the thyroid gland and identification of the recurrent laryngeal nerve were not always performed. The most important surgical principle is considered to be complete disconnection of the lesion from the hypopharynx, and complete identification and extirpation of the fistula by the procedure used at our department is considered to be a useful surgical strategy. | {

Q:
How to deal with `Use of undeclared identifier 'UIDevice'`
I followed the MD file step by step. But there is still an error in the compilation. What can I do?
In the FaceppClient.m file :
if ([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] compare: @"5.0" options: NSNumericSearch ] != NSOrderedAscending)
_ios50orNewer = true;
Xcode outputs this error :
Use of undeclared identifier 'UIDevice'
I added #import "UIDevice.h" in the file, but Xcode outputs "UIDevice.h not found".
I added the UIKit framework to the Project, but I still have the compilation issue.
What can I do then?
A:
Try adding this line at the top of your .m file :
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
Adding the framework to the project is useful, but you also have to include the needed headers in your code.
A:
And for Swift 5 users who got here, try
import UIKit

Sitagliptin and Lansoprazole Preparing for a Phase-II Clinical Trial
This trial is giving two drugs (both of which are already in use) to people with type-1 diabetes in their honeymoon phase. The hope is that it will preserve some beta cell function. This study is not yet recruiting patients. They hope to recruit 54 patients and finish in April 2014. Sitagliptin is the generic name for Januvia, and Lansoprozole is the generic name for Prevacid.
A Little Discussion: I still don't understand why this is supposed to preserve beta cells.
When I blogged about the Sitagliptin only clinical trial, I said that I didn't understand why it might help type-1 diabetics; and I still don't. With this trial, I don't understand why adding a antacid like Lansoprozole would help type-1 diabetics, either. On the other hand, Januvia is available now for type-2 diabetes with a prescription, and Prevacid is available "over the counter" and as a generic. So if this pans out, you will be able to get this as an "off label" use without waiting for further FDA approvals.
For me, a far more interesting trial, which I have blogged about before, is being run by the NIH, and which uses Diamyd plus Sitagliptin and Lansoprozole. That one I understand: Diamyd stops the autoimmune attack by retraining it, and the other two drugs reverse beta cell damage or develop new beta cells. You can read about that study here:
http://cureresearch4type1diabetes.blogspot.com/2010/02/diamyd-combo-phase-ii-trial-scaled-back.html
and I think they have upped the enrollment to 7 since I wrote that blog entry. On the other hand, if this Sitagliptin and Lansoprozole only study lays a scientific foundation for more studies where they pair it with something to stop the autoimmune attack, that would be valuable.
Delay in Trucco's Phase-I Trial
Trucco's clinical trial is one of the first ones that I ever followed in my "status" web page. That was years before I started my blog. I've never blogged on it, because there has never been news. Basically, they remove dentric cells, which are part of the immune system, treat those cells, and then put them back in the patient (the same patient where they came from). This trial only enrolls people who have had diabetes for more than five years, so honeymooners are excluded. It is a safety only study: they are not measuring any BG, A1C, insuline usage or C-peptide numbers. If it turns out safe, then they plan to start a honeymooner only study to see if it improves any of those things.
Now, finally, there is news. In June 2010, Trucco's group updated their clinical trials record as follows:
Estimated Enrollment:
15
Study Start Date:
March 2007
Estimated Study Completion Date:
June 2011 (previously had been mid-2010)
Estimated Primary Completion Date:
December 2010 (previously had been mid-2009)
So this is basically a one year slip.
Web status page: http://joshualevy.pbworks.com/DiabetesCureReadyForHumanTrials#TruccoatChildren%E2%80%99sHospitalofPittsburgh Year old newspaper article: http://durangoherald.com/sections/Features/Health/2009/08/24/Experiment_seeks_way_to_head_off_Type_1_diabetes_found_in_children/Scientific Overview: http://www.mcgowan.pitt.edu/news/images/Trucco_PediatricDiabetes_2008.pdf(Includes a nice diagram on page 8, even if the rest is highly technical.)One Possible Cure, but not yet in Clinical Trials.
Some researchers in India are working with a "release as needed" injected insulin. This is broadly similar to SmartInsulin. A single injection of this new insulin, called Supramolecular Insulin Assembly II (SIA-II) resulted in good blood glucose levels (which they call "physiologic glucose levels") for over 100 days in animals. I'm very much looking forward to what this does in people. But remember: drugs generally take 10+ years to go through human trials, and less than half of the drugs successful in animals ever go on to human trials. (Since this is an Insulin it might be slightly faster than 10 years, but not much.)
Another benefit of this drug, is that it puts pressure on the SmartInsulin developers. In turn the SmartInsulin developers put pressure on the SIA-II developers. I'm a firm believer that competition pushes both groups of developers to move faster, so I'm all for it. It sounds to me like both SmartInsulin and SIA-II are close to starting human trials, but SmartInsulin is closer.
Discussion: What is a Cure? Is this a Cure?
This drug (and also Smart Insulin) can start off an interesting parlor conversation about what is a cure? Are treatments like SmartInsulin or SIA-II cures? Obviously, each of us must make up their own mind about what is and is not a cure. But in my mind, a treatment that required one injection every 3 months, and no blood glucose checks, no dietary limitations (no counting carbs), with no long term side effects and a normal life expectancy. Personally, I would call that a cure, even though it requires an injection every 3 months, and even though you would have type-1 "on the inside". It would be a functional cure. Your opinion may differ.
News from Cerco Medical
I don't really cover Cerco Medical, because they have not yet started human trials for their "islet sheet", which is an encapsulated beta cell cure generally similar to LCT's Diabcell. However I know people are interested in it, and this is the most specific news I've heard about when they are hoping to start a clinical trial:
His [Scott R. King, president of Cerco Medical] company is planning to begin human testing in 2012 or 2013.
This comes from a newspaper article, which is mostly about Artificial Pancreas work in Oregon: http://www.oregonlive.com/health/index.ssf/2010/08/putting_blood-sugar_control_on.html

Q:
Job only scrapes one page and does not work when click all check boxes
I am trying to scrape data of the website below which works for one page. However as soon as I click the check boxes, the job does not work. Earlier on you can see that I only detect 24 elements and have not clicked the checkbox, that is scrapes correctly.
As soon as I click the check boxes, there are more elements and it does not work correctly as seen below. Why is it doing this? I believe Selenium should generally scrape what it is seeing however in this case it is not doing that...

Q:
C# - Sort File.ReadLines IEnumerable without Memory Overhead?
Is this possible?
I have the following code to reduce the total amount of memory usage:
File.WriteAllLines(
Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(file[0]), "(Sort A-Z) " + Path.GetFileName(file[0])),
File.ReadLines(file[0]).OrderBy(s=>s)
);
(file[0] is the input file path).
This reduces usage from ForEach's e.t.c reducing CPU usage aswell as memory usage (barely).
Its also faster than using a Foreach.
The issue however, is the .OrderBy(s=>s) causes it to load the entire thing into memory. Its not as bad as normally loading it into memory, but it still rises quite a bit of memory. (Im using a 80mb file).
Is there some way to order the IEnumerable/Order by A->Z when saving to a file without using much memory?

A:
It is necessary for .OrderBy to load the entire contents into memory. It would be impossible for it to work any other way.
OrderBy receives an IEnumerable. Therefore it receives items on at a time. However, consider the scenario where the very last row needs to be sorted before the very first row. This could only be achieved if the last row and first row were both in memory at the same time. Consider the scenario where the entire input were already sorted in the reverse order. Hopefully these examples show why it is necessary for OrderBy to load the entire contents into memory.
Algorithms exist to partition data sets into individual partitions, on disk, then merge those partitions. However, they are beyond the scope of the Linq OrderBy function.
Internally OrderBy reads everything into a buffer array then performs a quicksort over it. If you're feeling brave, refer to the reference source:

Robert Levi
Rober H. Levi (1916–1995) was a prominent Baltimore businessman and philanthropist. He was president of the Hecht's department store chain at the time of its merger with the May Department Stores Company in 1958.
Early years
Born in Baltimore in 1916, Levi attended City College of Baltimore, where he served as the captain of a champion lacrosse team for two years. In 1960, he was inducted in the City College Hall of Fame for the accomplishments he achieved while a student. Granted a full scholarship, he then went on to pursue a bachelor's degree in economics and play lacrosse at Johns Hopkins University, where he received his diploma in 1936.
Marriage and career
Levi married Ryda Hecht in 1939. His wife was the daughter of Alexander Hecht, who owned the Hecht's department store chain. After starting work at Hecht's in 1942, Levi rose through the ranks of the company to become the chairman and president of the Hecht Department Stores in the Baltimore-Washington area in 1955.
In 1958, he negotiated the merger between Hecht's and the May Department Stores Company, then served as the vice-president of the May Company and chairman of its Hecht's division until retiring from the company in 1967. Later, Levi joined the Mercantile Trust and Deposit Company, serving as chairman of the banks executive committee until retiring in 1985.
Charitable work
Robert Levi also well known for contributions to his community. He led the Sinai Hospital Building campaign in the 1950s, served as a trustee of [Goucher College], acted as treasurer and trustee of the Walters Art Museum, directed Associated Jewish Charities, and headed the Federal City Council and the National Capital Downtown Committee in Washington, D.C.
In 1972, along with the leaders of four other major banks in Baltimore, Levi co-founded the Baltimore Community Foundation. He served as the foundation's first chairman, ensuring the city would always have “a philanthropic organization that was a gathering of all people—no color line, no religious affiliation, no special cause.”
For 31 years, he served as a trustee of Johns Hopkins University and Hospital. Levi was also an active part of the Greater Baltimore Committee, which worked to revitalize the city through projects such as the Inner Harbor, Oriole Park at Camden Yards, and the Jones Falls Expressway.
The Levi Sculpture Garden at the Baltimore Museum of Art bears his legacy and is the result of his donation of 14 sculptures and funding from the City of Baltimore and the State of Maryland. The garden highlights pieces from the second half of the twentieth-century including works by Louise Nevelson, Joan Mirò, George Rickey, and Alexander Calder Jose de Rivera, Jim Dine, Ellsworth Kelly, Isamu Noguchi, and Scott Burton.

An assessment of measures to predict the outcome of driving evaluations in patients with cerebral damage.
The evaluation of the ability of patients to return to driving after cerebral damage stands out as one of the most important tasks confronted by rehabilitation professionals. The present study was designed to critically assess evaluations that were developed at one facility to determine fitness to drive: an offroad, predriver evaluation of skills regarded as important in driving and an on-road, behind-the-wheel evaluation of abilities needed to drive in actual traffic situations. The evaluation results of 3-patients with cerebral damage due to traumatic head injury or cerebrovascular accident were studied retrospectively. Only 4 out of 21 items on the predriver evaluation significantly predicted the outcome of the predriver evaluation and none of the predriver evaluation items predicted the outcome of the behind-the-wheel evaluation. Only 6 of the 26 tasks on the behind-the-wheel evaluation significantly predicted the outcome of the behind-the-wheel evaluation. None of the items on the predriver evaluation or the behind-the-wheel evaluation explained a significant portion of variance related to outcome. The lack of internal and predictive validity of driver evaluations is discussed in light of these findings, and recommendations are given for improving the predictive power of driving evaluations. | {

Sleeping Turtles Preserve North
Sleeping Turtles Preserve North includes 173 acres of land in Sarasota County, Florida that were purchased in four parcels during 2003 and 2004 through the Environmentally Sensitive Lands Protection Program (ESLPP). The name "Sleeping Turtles" comes from descriptions on naval maps from the 1800s of the Myakka River. The park includes floodplain swamps, pine flatwoods, upland mixed forests and seasonal wetlands; habitats for gopher tortoises, swallow-tailed kites, alligators and song birds. The preserve can be toured on five miles of unpaved hiking trail and is located at 3462 Border Road in Venice.

Q:
Does anyone know the official rules for Destruct 3?
We've got our hands on an old Destruct 3 game that came without any rules. We contacted the makers (Uncle Skunkle), but oddly enough, they wouldn't send us the rules without documentation of where we got the game. We've made up some rules of our own, but they're not entirely satisfying. Anyone know the real rules, or where we can get them without any paperwork?
A:
This might help. Although it's only a review, it does explain a lot about the scoring and building rules. There obviously are a few rules that are missing (ie. how the dice work).
I assume you do not have any kind of shop receipt for the game. You could suggest to them that you could send them a picture of the game to prove you actually have it. They could describe a specific setup for you to replicate so you can't just pick a picture off the web.

452 U.S. 926
101 S.Ct. 3063
69 L.Ed.2d 428
David SAYE and Edward T. Kassingerv.Larry WILLIAMS
No. 80-1123
Supreme Court of the United States
June 8, 1981
On petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied.
Justice REHNQUIST, dissenting.
1
Respondent was an officer in a university police department. Over the objections of petitioners, his superiors, respondent desired to run for the office of County Sheriff. The chief of the local police force, Chief Brown, also desired to run for that office. Chief Brown was involved in an accident, and respondent approved an accident report which stated among other things that Brown had been drinking. The next morning petitioners, at the request of Chief Brown, had the accident report changed so as to read "Not known if drinking." Respondent objected to the modified accident report, and disclosed these events to his father, who in turn leaked the original and altered accident reports to the press. When petitioners learned of the leak, they fired respondent. Respondent subsequently filed suit alleging that he had been fired for engaging in protected First Amendment activity.
2
After a jury trial, respondent was awarded compensatory and punitive damages against both petitioners. Relying on the so-called Pickering defenses, see Pickering v. Board of Education, 391 U.S. 563, 88 S.Ct. 1731, 20 L.Ed.2d 811 (1968), petitioners had sought to defend the discharge on the grounds that respondent by leaking confidential police material for his own political ends, had destroyed a harmonious working relationship with his superiors. Petitioners also contended that they were entitled to "official immunity" from damages, in that they had in good faith discharged respondent for violating the department's policy against disclosing confidential police investigative reports. See Wood v. Strickland, 420 U.S. 308, 95 S.Ct. 992, 43 L.Ed.2d 214 (1975); Scheuer v. Rhodes, 416 U.S. 232, 94 S.Ct. 1683, 40 L.Ed.2d 90 (1974). The District Court, however, held that evidence of these defenses was inadmissible into evidence, and it declined to instruct the jury as to "qualified or good-faith" immunity.
3
The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed. Williams v. Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 629 F.2d 993. It first held that evidence of the confidentiality policy, which went directly to the issue of official immunity, could only be admitted if the policy
4
"(1) factually existed, (2) was consistent with other state statutes and regulations, (3) was not vague, (4) did not proscribe protected first amendment speech overbroadly, (5) was communicated to the appellee and (6) was not void as a matter of public policy in its instant application." Id., at 1000 (footnotes omitted).
5
Although the court conceded that petitioners had shown enough evidence of the existence of a confidentiality policy to establish a jury question, the court held that the other factors were not present, namely, that the confidentiality policy conflicted with state regulations. Because the evidence of the confidentiality policy was inadmissible, the court concluded that there was insufficient evidence to warrant a jury instruction as to the existence of "good-faith" immunity.
6
It seems to me that the Court of Appeals' six-prong "test" unjustifiably expands the principles announced in such cases as Wood and Scheuer. In those cases, we held that official immunity is available where there is evidence that the official has a subjective good-faith belief in the lawfulness of his action and where the action is not inconsistent with undisputed and settled law. Accordingly, I believe that the novel test announced by the Court of Appeals warrants review.
7
The court next rejected petitioners' contention that the District Court erred in refusing to permit petitioners to introduce evidence and to charge the jury as to their "Pickering defenses," based on this Court's decision in Pickering v. Board of Education, supra. Petitioners argued that they should have been permitted to show the necessity of maintaining discipline in a organization such as a police department and to show how respondent's conduct leads to a breakdown of that discipline. The Court of Appeals disagreed, finding that the District Court correctly found that respondent's First Amendment interests outweighed petitioners' interests in maintaining discipline. 629 F.2d, at 1003.
8
I disagree. In Pickering, the Court held that whether speech of a public employee is protected depends upon "a balance between the interests of the [employee] as a citizen, in commenting upon matters of public concern and the interest of the State, as an employer, in promoting the efficiency of the public services it performs through its employees." 391 U.S., at 568, 88 S.Ct., at 1734. But we also recognized that even accurate public criticism of a superior by a subordinate might warrant dismissal where the relationship between superior and subordinate is of such a nature that public criticism would seriously impair the working relationship between them. Id., at 570, n. 3, 88 S.Ct., at 1735, n. 3. As the late Judge Leventhal explained in Meehan v. Macy, 129 U.S.App.D.C. 217, 230, 392 F.2d 822, 835 (1968), cited with approval in Arnett v. Kennedy, 416 U.S. 134, 161-162, 94 S.Ct. 1633, 1648, 40 L.Ed.2d 15 (1974):
9
"We think it is inherent in the employment relationship as a matter of common sense if not common law that an employee in appellant's circumstances cannot reasonably assert a right to keep his job while at the same time he inveighs against his superiors in public with intemperate and defamatory lampoons. We believe that Meehan cannot fairly claim that discharge following an attack like that presented by this record comes as an unfair surprise or is so unexpected and uncertain as to chill his freedom to engage in appropriate speech." (Footnote omitted.) In this case, I believe that the Court of Appeals struck the wrong balance. As it itself acknowledged:
10
"Viewed in the light most favorable to [petitioners], it was established that the 'leak' of the altered report would irreparably damage the working relationship between [petitioners] and Williams. Although Saye was not Williams' immediate superior, there was frequent communication and necessity for working together. It is clear, therefore, that disharmony would result. Additionally, as [petitioners] argue, discipline is a necessary component of a smoothly-operating police force. Although this necessity of discipline does not rise to the same level as required by the military, see Parker v. Levy, 417 U.S. 733, 94 S.Ct. 2547, 41 L.Ed.2d 439 (1974), discipline must be maintained between police officers during periods of active duty." 629 F.2d, at 1003.
11
Though the court observed that "disharmony would result," it nevertheless concluded that evidence of "this very real threat of disruption, disharmony and breakdown of discipline" was properly excluded by the trial court, not only as an absolute defense but even as a basis of a good-faith "official immunity." Ibid. In my view, the court gave too little weight to the need for maintaining a close working relationship in a quasi-military organization like a police department. And quite unlike the situation in Pickering, respondent's actions here called into question the integrity of his immediate superiors with whom he worked daily.
12
More significantly, I believe that the decision here conflicts with those of other Circuits. In Sprague v. Fitzpatrick, 546 F.2d 560 (CA3 1976), cert. denied, 431 U.S. 937, 97 S.Ct. 2649, 53 L.Ed.2d 255 (1977), the court took a much broader view of the Pickering defenses than did the court here. It concluded that the public criticism of the District Attorney by his first assistant precluded any future working relationship between the parties and hence was unprotected. See Clark v. Holmes, 474 F.2d 928 (CA7 1972), cert. denied, 411 U.S. 972, 93 S.Ct. 2148, 36 L.Ed.2d 695 (1973). Likewise in this case, I believe petitioners should have been permitted to introduce evidence as to the breakdown of a minimally acceptable working relationship between the parties as well as to the maintenance of necessary police department discipline.
13
Viewed in one context, I can understand why this case is not a particularly attractive candidate for review. Like so many other cases, it involves a number of factual disputes, with conflicting evidence on both sides. Nonetheless, the legal issues presented by the case—whether the trial court erred in refusing to admit into evidence material going to "qualified immunity" and Pickering defenses—are sufficiently isolated from the factual controversies so as to make this case a suitable vehicle for review. I would grant certiorari to consider those legal issues.

Clinico-pathological observations on the pathogenesis of severe thrombocytopenia and anemia induced by Plasmodium vivax infections during antimalarial drug efficacy trials in Aotus monkeys.
During routine antimalarial drug efficacy trials, we observed, for the first time, severe thrombocytopenia developing in Aotus monkeys infected with Plasmodium vivax. Data obtained from 26 Aotus infected with the AMRU-1 strain showed that 77% developed severe thrombocytopenia, whereas only 15% had severe anemia, with hemorrhagic diathesis ensuing in 31%. In general, thrombocytopenic monkeys either failed primary treatment with experimental antimalarial drugs or were found to have higher-density parasitemias, longer patency duration, and lower hematocrits. In these monkeys, severe thrombocytopenia inversely correlated to parasitemia (R = -1.0), and animals that received a blood transfusion had significantly higher platelet counts (P < 0.05) by day 38 after inoculation. In conclusion, the AMRU-1 strain of P. vivax, was considered to be highly pathogenic to Aotus monkeys, and thrombocytopenia rather than anemia should be regarded an early indicator of drug treatment failure with this strain. | {

Donkey show
A donkey show is a supposed type of live sex show in which a woman engages in bestiality with a donkey, which, according to urban legend and some works of fiction, were once performed in the Mexican border city of Tijuana, particularly in the mid-20th century.
Gustavo Arellano, in his ¡Ask a Mexican! column, argues that donkey shows are not real.
As late as 2008, they have been mentioned as a reason to visit Tijuana, and naive tourists may seek them out.
The "donkey show" myth has been portrayed in several American films, including Losin' It (1983), Bachelor Party (1984), The 40-Year Old Virgin (2005), Clerks II (2006), The Heartbreak Kid (2007), and Cake (2014).
In the 1981 book New West, a Tijuana taxi driver offers tourists a ride to see a donkey show in the red light district.
In Mark Winegardner's 2005 book The Godfather Returns, set in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Fredo Corleone's wife Deanna Dunn insists on attending one: "on a whim, they'd headed to Mexico. When they'd gotten there, Deanna Dunn, insisted on going to see a donkey show. ... who thought that watching a donkey fuck a teenage Indian girl was a hoot."
In 2005 the term is claimed to be used to describe a situation that has become a "complete mess".

Q:
Comparing two XML files & generating a third with XMLDiff in C#
I am trying to write a simple algorithm to read two XML files with the exact same nodes and structure but not necessarily the same data inside the child nodes and not the same order. How could I create a simple implementation for creating a third, temporary XML being the differential between the two first ones, using Microsoft's XML Diff .DLL ?
XML Diff on MSDN:
XML Diff and Patch Tool
XML Diff and Patch GUI Tool
sample XML code of the two different XML files to compare:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Stats Date="2011-01-01">
<Player Rank="1">
<Name>Sidney Crosby</Name>
<Team>PIT</Team>
<Pos>C</Pos>
<GP>39</GP>
<G>32</G>
<A>33</A>
<PlusMinus>20</PlusMinus>
<PIM>29</PIM>
</Player>
</Stats>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Stats Date="2011-01-10">
<Player Rank="1">
<Name>Sidney Crosby</Name>
<Team>PIT</Team>
<Pos>C</Pos>
<GP>42</GP>
<G>35</G>
<A>34</A>
<PlusMinus>22</PlusMinus>
<PIM>30</PIM>
</Player>
</Stats>
Result wanted (difference between the two)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Stats Date="2011-01-10">
<Player Rank="1">
<Name>Sidney Crosby</Name>
<Team>PIT</Team>
<Pos>C</Pos>
<GP>3</GP>
<G>3</G>
<A>1</A>
<PlusMinus>2</PlusMinus>
<PIM>1</PIM>
</Player>
</Stats>
In this case, I would probably use XSLT to convert the resulting XML "differential" file into a sorted HTML file, but I am not there yet. All I want to do is to display in the third XML file the difference of every numerical value of each nodes, starting from the "GP" child-node.
C# code I have so far:
private void CompareXml(string file1, string file2)
{
XmlReader reader1 = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(file1));
XmlReader reader2 = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(file2));
string diffFile = StatsFile.XmlDiffFilename;
StringBuilder differenceStringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
FileStream fs = new FileStream(diffFile, FileMode.Create);
XmlWriter diffGramWriter = XmlWriter.Create(fs);
XmlDiff xmldiff = new XmlDiff(XmlDiffOptions.IgnoreChildOrder |
XmlDiffOptions.IgnoreNamespaces |
XmlDiffOptions.IgnorePrefixes);
bool bIdentical = xmldiff.Compare(file1, file2, false, diffGramWriter);
diffGramWriter.Close();
// cleaning up after we are done with the xml diff file
File.Delete(diffFile);
}
That's what I have so far, but the results is garbage... note that for each "Player" node, the first three childs have NOT to be compared... How can I implement this?
A:
There are two immediate solutions:
Solution 1.
You can first apply a simple transform to the two documents that will delete the elements that should not be compared. Then, compare the results ing two documents -- exactly with your current code. Here is the transformation:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Name|Team|Pos"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When this transformation is applied to the provided XML document:
<Stats Date="2011-01-01">
<Player Rank="1">
<Name>Sidney Crosby</Name>
<Team>PIT</Team>
<Pos>C</Pos>
<GP>39</GP>
<G>32</G>
<A>33</A>
<PlusMinus>20</PlusMinus>
<PIM>29</PIM>
<PP>10</PP>
<SH>1</SH>
<GW>3</GW>
<Shots>0</Shots>
<ShotPctg>154</ShotPctg>
<TOIPerGame>20.8</TOIPerGame>
<ShiftsPerGame>21:54</ShiftsPerGame>
<FOWinPctg>22.6</FOWinPctg>
</Player>
</Stats>
the wanted resulting document is produced:
<Stats Date="2011-01-01">
<Player Rank="1">
<GP>39</GP>
<G>32</G>
<A>33</A>
<PlusMinus>20</PlusMinus>
<PIM>29</PIM>
<PP>10</PP>
<SH>1</SH>
<GW>3</GW>
<Shots>0</Shots>
<ShotPctg>154</ShotPctg>
<TOIPerGame>20.8</TOIPerGame>
<ShiftsPerGame>21:54</ShiftsPerGame>
<FOWinPctg>22.6</FOWinPctg>
</Player>
</Stats>
Solution 2.
This is a complete XSLT 1.0 solution (for convenience only, the second XML document is embedded in the transformation code):
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:variable name="vrtfDoc2">
<Stats Date="2011-01-01">
<Player Rank="2">
<Name>John Smith</Name>
<Team>NY</Team>
<Pos>D</Pos>
<GP>38</GP>
<G>32</G>
<A>33</A>
<PlusMinus>15</PlusMinus>
<PIM>29</PIM>
<PP>10</PP>
<SH>1</SH>
<GW>4</GW>
<Shots>0</Shots>
<ShotPctg>158</ShotPctg>
<TOIPerGame>20.8</TOIPerGame>
<ShiftsPerGame>21:54</ShiftsPerGame>
<FOWinPctg>22.6</FOWinPctg>
</Player>
</Stats>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="vDoc2" select=
"document('')/*/xsl:variable[@name='vrtfDoc2']/*"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*" name="identity">
<xsl:param name="pDoc2"/>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*">
<xsl:with-param name="pDoc2" select="$pDoc2"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="*">
<xsl:with-param name="pDoc2" select="$vDoc2"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
-----------------------
<xsl:apply-templates select="$vDoc2">
<xsl:with-param name="pDoc2" select="/*"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Player/*">
<xsl:param name="pDoc2"/>
<xsl:if test=
"not(. = $pDoc2/*/*[name()=name(current())])">
<xsl:call-template name="identity"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Name|Team|Pos" priority="20"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when this transformation is applied on the same first document as above, the correct diffgrams are produced:
<Stats Date="2011-01-01">
<Player Rank="1">
<GP>39</GP>
<PlusMinus>20</PlusMinus>
<GW>3</GW>
<ShotPctg>154</ShotPctg>
</Player>
</Stats>
-----------------------
<Stats xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" Date="2011-01-01">
<Player Rank="2">
<GP>38</GP>
<PlusMinus>15</PlusMinus>
<GW>4</GW>
<ShotPctg>158</ShotPctg>
</Player>
</Stats>
How this works:
The transformation is applied on the first document, passing the second document as parameter.
This produces an XML document whose only leaf element nodes are the ones that have different value than the corresponding leaf element nodes in the second document.
The same processing is performed as in 1. above, but this time on the second document, passing the first document as parameter.
This produces a second diffgram: an XML document whose only leaf element nodes are the ones that have different value** than the corresponding leaf element nodes in the first document
A:
Okay... I finally opted with a pure C# solution to compare the two XML files, without using the XML Diff/Patch .dll and without even needing to use XSL transforms. I will be needing XSL transforms in the next step though, to convert the Xml into HTML for viewing purposes, but I have figured an algorithm using nothing but System.Xml and System.Xml.XPath.
Here is my algorithm:
private void CompareXml(string file1, string file2)
{
// Load the documents
XmlDocument docXml1 = new XmlDocument();
docXml1.Load(file1);
XmlDocument docXml2 = new XmlDocument();
docXml2.Load(file2);
// Get a list of all player nodes
XmlNodeList nodes1 = docXml1.SelectNodes("/Stats/Player");
XmlNodeList nodes2 = docXml2.SelectNodes("/Stats/Player");
// Define a single node
XmlNode node1;
XmlNode node2;
// Get the root Xml element
XmlElement root1 = docXml1.DocumentElement;
XmlElement root2 = docXml2.DocumentElement;
// Get a list of all player names
XmlNodeList nameList1 = root1.GetElementsByTagName("Name");
XmlNodeList nameList2 = root2.GetElementsByTagName("Name");
// Get a list of all teams
XmlNodeList teamList1 = root1.GetElementsByTagName("Team");
XmlNodeList teamList2 = root2.GetElementsByTagName("Team");
// Create an XmlWriterSettings object with the correct options.
XmlWriter writer = null;
XmlWriterSettings settings = new XmlWriterSettings();
settings.Indent = true;
settings.IndentChars = (" ");
settings.OmitXmlDeclaration = false;
// Create the XmlWriter object and write some content.
writer = XmlWriter.Create(StatsFile.XmlDiffFilename, settings);
writer.WriteStartElement("StatsDiff");
// The compare algorithm
bool match = false;
int j = 0;
try
{
// the list has 500 players
for (int i = 0; i < 500; i++)
{
while (j < 500 && match == false)
{
// There is a match if the player name and team are the same in both lists
if (nameList1.Item(i).InnerText == nameList2.Item(j).InnerText)
{
if (teamList1.Item(i).InnerText == teamList2.Item(j).InnerText)
{
match = true;
node1 = nodes1.Item(i);
node2 = nodes2.Item(j);
// Call to the calculator and Xml writer
this.CalculateDifferential(node1, node2, writer);
j = 0;
}
}
else
{
j++;
}
}
match = false;
}
// end Xml document
writer.WriteEndElement();
writer.Flush();
}
finally
{
if (writer != null)
writer.Close();
}
}

I have spared to show the implementation for the CalculateDifferential() method, it is rather cryptic but it is fast and efficient. This way I could obtain the results wanted without using any other reference but the strict minimum, without having to use XSL...

Each month a new box is set up full of samples of great brands perfect for new and expecting moms as well as babies! This way, you can try the products before you buy! Bluum’s monthly products are picked by an expert mom team looking to find products that will really stand out and help you as your raise your children and enjoy motherhood! Samples are geared towards babies 0-12 months but Bluum hopes to branch into other age ranges soon!
When my Bluum box arrived I set up my webcam and opened it so you could see the box just like it was being opened! Now, keep in mind I am *not* a video blogger for a reason! But, here is my modest attempt at a vlog! Check out the contents of my Bluum Box!
Here’s a recap! My Bluum box included: Episencial Soothing Cream, Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream, Spiffies Cleaning & Teething Tooth Wipes, Dr Sears Baby Wash & Shampoo, Dapple Baby Bottle & Dish Liquid and Plum Organics Tots Peach Mish Mash Organic Fruit Snack. The really cool thing about Bluum is you never know what you will get giving you the chance to learn about great new brands and try products you may not have ever heard of before! While I have heard of 4 out of the 6 brands I received to try, I have only ever tried one of the products (Plum Organics) from my box and I already know that one is a hit with my youngest so it was a welcome treat!
I loved that everything that came in my box is totally applicable and something we can and will use! It was fun to read and learn about the products and the first one I couldn’t wait to try was the Dapple dish soap! It promised to remove odors from sippy cups – a big problem here in our home! I really loved Dapple and already plan to pick up a full sized bottle to save our stinky sippy cups of the future! I also had a lot of fun with the Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream! It is for any dry skin, cracks, chapped lips, hard heels, eczema, sunburns, or split cuticles so I applied it everywhere I could think of! While I wasn’t a fan of it on my lips I did love it on my heels and cuticles!

I actually have been disappointed in my Bluum.com experience so far. There was an initial problem placing my order and it took 4 days for anyone to get back to me, and another week to actually process the order. Then I was super excited to get my first box… and very disappointed in the contents. The cute little fuzzy rattle was the only redeeming product, the food storage bags might be OK but don’t have a use for them now. The diaper rash ointment contains Wintergreen oil/methyl salicylate so NO WAY am I putting that on my baby’s skin (and it’s too chalky for me to use for myself – threw that sample away after one use). They have 2 more boxes to try and win me over, but at this point I definitely won’t be renewing my subscription. Just glad I didn’t pay full price!
Email used for daily emails is yobonks(at)gmail(dot)com – there wasn’t a spot for it on the form.

Student Associations Drive Student Success

The life of a college student is busy, to say the least. Managing academic priorities, potentially working a part-time job – all while maintaining somewhat of a social life – can be difficult. Student leaders take on additional responsibility by dedicating themselves to their on-campus student association.
Student associations (SA) play a crucial role in student success. They represent the collective student voice and provide a variety of academic supports and resources. SA’s dedicate time and services to providing a safe, social, and rewarding college experience for all students. CSA is proud to highlight some of the significant accomplishments from our member associations.
Brockville Students Administrative Council (SAC) supports students at St. Lawrence College (SLC) in Brockville . The council’s goal for the 2015/16 year was to increase overall SAC awareness among students to enhance their college experience. Based on direct requests and feedback regarding events, one-on-one conversations with students, and the biggest SAC Election turnout in history, it is evident SAC has become an important part of the students experience at SLC.
Campaigns like Good Mood Food and Positive Body Image Workshops made a direct impact on student satisfaction while creating opportunities for individuals to get involved on campus. Combined with on- and off-campus events, students had more opportunities to get involved than ever before. The SA also worked toward improving student spaces on campus. Funds were designated to new patio furniture, couches for the student lounge and hydration stations throughout the college.
All aspects of student life are equally important and SA’s recognize this. While Brockville SAC worked toward raising awareness and improving student culture, the Northern College Student Association – Timmins (NCSA), from Northern College Timmins campus, focused on enhancing student supports.
NCSA’s major initiative for the year was to ensure all students had comprehensive coverage, included mental health resources, finance services, and legal consultation services – regardless of whether or not they opted out of the student insurance benefits package. NCSA accomplished this goal with no extra cost for students, and all three Northern College campuses benefit from this change.
Another objective for NCSA-Timmins was to reposition the SA with college administration to ensure students have an equal voice in policy, finance, and management discussions. Following a full year of on-campus advocacy, the future of the SA as a collaborative partner of Northern College has been ensured.
SA’s do tremendous work for college students across the province. They drive student success. Each aspect of student life is crucial, and SA’s are equipped to assist students with the knowledge, resources and services they require for a positive college experience. To student leaders across Ontario, CSA thanks you. | {

Maternal inheritance of plastids and mitochondria in Cycas L. (Cycadaceae).
Cycas is often considered a living fossil, thereby providing a unique model for revealing the evolution of spermatophytes. To date, the genetic inheritance of these archaic plants is not fully understood. The present study seeks to document the process of organelle inheritance in an interspecific cross of Cycas species. Extranuclear organelle DNA from chloroplasts and mitochondria was analyzed using both polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and microscopy. Here, we show that the chloroplasts and mitochondria in the progeny of interspecific crosses between Cycas taitungensis and Cycas ferruginea were exclusively inherited from the female parent. Epifluorescence microscopic analyses of the pollen cells from Cycas elongata indicated that there was a significant degradation of organelle DNA in male reproductive cells following maturation; the DNA fluorescent signals were only seen after pollen mitosis two, but not detectable at mature stage. Lack of organelle DNA fluorescent signal in prothallial cells was confirmed by the absence of plastids and mitochondria in electronic microscopic images. In conclusion, these data suggest that the maternal plastid and mitochondrial inheritance in Cycas, native to the old world, are the same as seen in seed plants. | {

Impact of Early Invasive Approach on Outcomes of Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome and Baseline Anemia: Analysis From the ACSIS Registry.
Anemia in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is strongly related to the increased risk of bleeding and mortality. Whether benefit of early invasive strategy exceeds the risk of bleeding in these patients is unknown. To assess impact of early coronary angiography on outcomes of patients with ACS and baseline anemia. Biennial Israeli ACS registry (ACSIS) prospectively collects data from all 26 public hospitals. The endpoints included rates of in-hospital major bleeding, as well as 30-day and 1-year mortality. Anemia at baseline was present in 1,464 of 5,600 patients with ACS (26.1%). Coronary angiography within index hospitalization was performed less frequently in patients with anemia (76.6% vs. 90.8%, P < 0.001). Non-performance of coronary angiography was associated with older age and higher prevalence of comorbidities. Among patients with anemia who underwent coronary angiography, the majority (95.5%) had obstructive coronary disease, of whom 77.8% were triaged to revascularization. Performance of coronary angiography was associated with significantly lower (P < 0.0001) rates of mortality at 30 days (5.7% vs. 15.6%) and at 1 year (11.9% vs. 34.1%). Major bleeding occurred with similar incidence in groups with and without coronary angiography (3.1% vs. 3.8%, respectively; P = 0.54). By multivariable analysis, performance of coronary angiography was an independent predictor of lower 1-year mortality (hazard ratio [95%CI] = 0.30 [0.21, 0.44]. In the setting of ACS, despite the presence of baseline anemia, early coronary angiography with subsequent revascularization, when indicated, was associated with improved clinical outcomes including 1-year mortality without significant increase in rates of major bleeding. | {

Where Are Our Exclusives? Grievances Of An Xbox One Owner
So I looked at the upcoming console exclusives for the Xbox One. The pure console exclusives, not the ones you can play on the PC as well. Currently, there are about five games waiting to be released. Of those five, I’d heard of none of them. Of the games that have already been released, 35 are true exclusives. With those 35 games, Rare Replay and Sunset Overdrive were the only ‘full games’ that weren’t either an indie / arcade title (though the indie titles have been pretty solid, so far), or a Forza or Halo title.
Granted, if you cast the net further. Perhaps start looking at games which release on the PC or are exclusive to the platform. Then the list starts to look passable. But there’s nothing that’s really new. At least no new AAA looking titles. And there’s only one or two that really grab my interest.
Will there be many Xbox exclusives in 2017?
There are a few I’ve been looking forward to for a while now, like State of Decay, Cuphead, Below and Sea of Thieves. But the release dates for them are sketchy at best. Maybe they’ll be out this year, maybe they won’t. But when you look at PlayStation’s line-up, it’s a different story.
You’ve got a new Crash Bandicoot, Days Gone, God of War, The Last of Us Part II, Spider-Man, and Deep Down on the way. That’s just the games exclusive to the PlayStation 4, though. Open the net out and you’ve got a tonne of games, waiting to be played. Alex and I discussed it in this week’s GG EZ Live Show, on Facebook. You can check that out here (it’s from about the 10 minute mark).
Where are our exclusives?
So I’d like to know, where are our exclusives? I mean, some of the good ones have been cancelled already. Scalebound and Fable Legends are both gonners. What’s next? Below’s looking pretty ropey and Undead Labs have gone rather quiet about State of Decay 2 (though I’m relatively confident we’ll be seeing it late this year or early next year). It just feels like the Xbox One is lacking excitement at the moment. Though that’s not to say that the PlayStation is killing it with their exclusives – they’re just doing a slightly better job.
But what do you think? Do you wish that the Xbox One had better, or more, exclusives? Or are you happy with the big titles – your Halo Wars, Crackdowns and Forzas? Let me know in the comments below!
Oh, and before you say it. Yes I do realise that I brought this on myself by buying an Xbox One – cheers.
DrunkSuperman
where are they? simple, they are most likely being pushed towards the Scorpios library
Snagg Dadon
lol i have all console you sir are a liar ps4 exclusives are awesome right now!!!! check metacritic or sumtn ….i wanted xb1 to be better but i have no games for it…
GamingOnForLife
Wait…did you just cite Deep Down as an upcoming game…? DEEP DOWN? That game has not been seen for years. No guarantee it will ever come out.
You’re also dreaming if you think Last Of Us 2 is out in 2017 or even 2018. God of War 4 is a coin toss as to whether it will be 2017 as well. You look at how Sony positions their releases, favouring spring time so 2018 looks likely. So this year you’ve got the excellent Horizon Zero Dawn, Nioh, GT Sport, Nier and potentially Detroit.
And why are saying State of Decay 2 has gone quiet? Check their twitter, they are regularly posting concept art and teasing their full reveal and release date at E3.
People are quick to forget in 2016 Xbox had Quantum Break, Recore, Forza Horizon(GOTY contender) Gears 4 and Dead Rising 4 alongside a number of indie games. Xbox user got to play Ark Survival Evolved first. Astroneer first. Will be getting Conan Exciles first and has had We Happy Few first and Elite Dangerous first.
J.j. Barrington
So much wrong with this comment.
Like Dead Rising. Do timed exclusives count? You say “a number of indie games,” but don’t seem to count those towards Sony’s library. And yes, that matters, because it’s an obvious comparison.
There are games left off your Sony exclusive list, like Spider Man, Dreams, and whatever Sucker Punch is working on.
For your Xbox list, Crackdown has been coming out for forever, so has Cuphead. Forza’s yet another Forza, and that’s part of the problem.
Simply put, when you look at the number of big exclusives on either console- and Recore’s price alone tells you it’s not in the argument- there’s no comparison.
So what are you so bothered about?
GamingOnForLife
The overwhelming sense of panic the author presents is what gets me. A great game came out on PlayStation, good for PS4 owners. Doesn’t mean the sky is falling and you just forget the games you have literally just been playing on Xbox all year around.
I get it’s easy to dismiss Forza because it’s a racing game and it may not be your thing but if your criticising it for being a sequel then could we not say that about God of War 4(technically game 5), Uncharted 4(technically game 5)? I’m not attacking those games, as Forza, GoW and Uncharted are all acclaimed games. Horizon and Motorsport also cater to two very different groups of gamers.
You call out Crackdown for ‘coming out forever’ but then name drop Dreams? Pretty sure they’re close in when they were announced. I’ll take SpiderMan though, that one I did miss out.
On Recore, the price of a game is not an immediate indicator of it’s quality. I happened to enjoy that game as I’m sure PS4 users may have enjoyed the Order or Knack. I might add though that those two games scored lower in reviews than Recore but did cost more.
LordCancer Kain
the sky fell on 360. there is no sky for one, just nothingness.
J.j. Barrington
“Doesn’t mean the sky is falling and you just forget the games you have literally just been playing on Xbox all year around.”
It’s been coming for years. Since last generation. It’s not just “a great game” that came out. It’s multiple such titles. It’s not just Horizon: Zero Dawn, not just about the first party, either. It’s about the overall gap in libraries.
“I get it’s easy to dismiss Forza…”
Dismissing it, as you call it, because it comes out every year. Even if you split Horizon and Motorsport- and Xbox fans sure don’t; nor do prospective buyers, as they’ll just see another racer- that’s still an entry every other year, which is just TOO frequent. Not strictly because it’s a sequel, but because it’s already caught its biggest rival in numbered titles, and it’s like a decade younger.
“You call out Crackdown for ‘coming out forever’ but then name drop Dreams?”
Crackdown AND Cuphead. Previously, I would have added Scalebound to that list, but… I’m sure we could list other titles that have just taken a long while to come out on Xbox. There aren’t so many of those on PS4, particularly that Sony has any control over(since you’ve already mentioned Deep Down). And I think we’ve seen far more of Dreams than of Crackdown at this point.
“On Recore, the price of a game is not an immediate indicator of it’s quality.”
Wasn’t speaking of the quality, but rather the status. Simply put, it’s not one of the bigger releases on either console, and the price reflects that. The asking price of all the other titles we’re talking about is full, quality aside.
” I might add though that those two games scored lower in reviews than Recore but did cost more.”
I might add that in both cases, reviewers seemed to want something in the games that was never meant to be there. But that’s a whole different story.
MiamiBeachMedMan
To be fair, the author only mentioned a few games, but for Sony, my personal list looks like this…
Currently playing – Gravity Rush 2, Yakuza 0, and Nioh.
Soon to be playing – Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier Automata, and Persona 5.
Will play later – God of War 4, Uncharted the Lost Legacy, TLOU Part II, Detroit Become Human, Wild, What Remains of Edith Finch, Spider-Man, Dreams, Gran Turismo Sport, Death Stranding, Days Gone, Hellblade, Ni No Kuni II, Gang Beasts, Nex Machina, the list goes on and on, and hopefully one or two games soon to be announced we don’t know about, certainly Sucker Punch’s unannounced title.
For Microsoft?
Currently playing – nothing. Halo Wars II is not my taste as I’m not an RTS fan.
Soon to be playing – nothing.
Will play later – Crackdown (I can only hope development for this one is going smoothly), Below, Cuphead, State of Decay, and hopefully one or two games soon to be announced we don’t know about.
So while this list caters to my own personal taste, even considering tastes of various gamers, it’s not really a fair fight, and it has not been a fair fight for quite some time now. That much is hard to dispute, and only someone with a closed mind to the reality of the industry at the moment would even try. And I’m not suggesting that is what you’re doing, but I have seen others feebly attempt to pretend like somehow Microsoft is “winning”, or producing better content for consumers. That notion is laughable.
There but 90% of those are third party Japanese niche titles, those company’s could easily release on Xbox one, the reason they don’t it because of how Xbox one is doing in japan , so really if you took away all those niche Japanese titles then Sony would nothing
J.j. Barrington
The reason they don’t is because those games don’t do well on Xbox, which is why Xbox doesn’t do well in Japan.
Daniel Long
another bullshit article with no research, what were the media saying when Sony had no games 2014/2015/2016 shit all they were stone cold quiet, typical Microsoft released 5 tripple a titles last year compared with Sony’s like 2
Xbox has already released Rise and Shine and Halo Wars 2 and coming soon
“that’s not what real gamers care about”? What games that continually scoring high review scores?
Nioh
Gravity Rush 2
Yakuza 0
Horizon Zero Dawn
Nier Automata
All killing it.
8 out of 10 highest rated games this year are available on PS4 but not xbox. Sony are miles ahead.
Tomaterrrx
Don’t think we’ll get Halo 6 this year.
J.j. Barrington
Half of what you list is speculation. The rest is DLC or not even exclusive. That’s horrible.
Daniel Long
Are you alright man, 20 out of the 25 games I listed are confirmed, and what DLC I have listed, and most of these are exclusive to console on Xbox One do your research before running your mouth
J.j. Barrington
Lol, all that “at this stage” stuff is hilarious. It’s still sad that you list DLC like it’s a full game. The TR game is barely a rumor, let alone exclusive. You just listed developers like that confirms anything. There’s NOTHING to go on for Ion. Conan and The Culling are both multiplats. That’s almost half your list.
And you seriously think Voodoo Vince is gonna do better than even Gravity Rush?
You would have been better off NOT defending this garbage.
Daniel Long
Okay then you enjoy all those Japanese niche titles that none of you play station fans will buy, and enjoy your best Tripple A game that will release this year in Horizon,
nearly forgot about Grand Turismo Sport, how long has this game been in development, since the start of the PS4 cycle, Turn 10 will release Forza 7 this year making that including Forza Horizon games 5 Forza games they will have released this gen, and Polyphony can’t even release 1 GT game.
your the one wasting his time here, I need to get back to finishing mass effect 3 via backwards compatibly before Andromeda comes out, which I will be able to play a week early thanks to EA Access, thanks for telling Sony that you don’t need EA Access, wait it was Sony telling you, don’t need it just like you don’t need Back Compat, LOL
Tomaterrrx
Fanboy comment of the day goes to you lol.
Gamez Rule
“Turn 10 will release Forza 7 this year making that including Forza Horizon games 5 Forza games they will have released this gen” = Milking big time IF that is five titles in one gen.
Tomaterrrx
That’s nice to know. If the games were getting worse then I’d have an issue with them milking the game. But Forza games aren’t getting worse (not by a lot anyway). I’ll continue to let MS take my money as long as the games are good. FH3 is arguably the highest rated racer this gen and it’s amazing.
J.j. Barrington
“all those Japanese niche titles that none of you play station fans will buy,”
Right, cuz Raiden, Ion, Beacon, Graveyard Keepers and so many other games on that list are big sellers.
“enjoy your best Tripple A game that will release this year in Horizon,”
Dude, “triple” is a word you learn to spell in elementary school. Not that hard. That aside, there’s already been Nioh, Gravity Rush 2, and Yakuza 0, and I’m probably missing a few. GT Sport IS coming up, and so are Persona, Valkyria Revolution, Crash Bandicoot, FFXII, Hellblade… yeah, nothing of quality to play there. /s
“how long has this game been in development, since the start of the PS4 cycle”
Possibly, but I don’t see how it’s a negative that they don’t rush out a game every year or very other year.
“Turn 10 will release Forza 7 this year making that including Forza Horizon games 5 Forza games they will have released this gen,”
Ah, so it’s better to run a franchise into the ground having a release every year? I get it.
“I need to get back to finishing mass effect 3 via backwards compatibly”
What? No current gen games to play right now, and your next current gen game is a multiplat? Yeah, I’m really jealous of you.
” just like you don’t need Back Compat”
Well, since I still have a PS3, I actually DON’T need BC. And while there are still plenty of older generations titles that I like to play, I’ve got a backlog of current generation games to get through, too.
Man, I know you won’t get it, but you just argued against yourself, there.
I own both PS4 and XB1. I’ve been gaming since Atari. Never in my life have I hated an actual console until the XB1. Biggest purchase regret I’ve ever made.
Gamez Rule
Yet again within this generation Sony has shown that they still continue to bring a stronger first party support system on PS4 than what Microsoft offers for the Xbone. MS’s first party efforts have always paled in comparison to Sony’s and it looks like nothing has changed that view either.
IMO from being an Xbone owner I believe it’s getting worse for the Xbone supporters, I mean where are our TRUE exclusive games for Xbone and NOT network exclusives that we are being shown all the time, because at this moment where is the incentive to purchase the Xbone if you already have a PC? At least PC users don’t have to pay to play online using the same games Xbone users do.
Just look at Quantum Break, I bought the Xbone version which at one time was a classed as a FULL exclusive title for Xbone only, then within weeks of release it become a network exclusive ( Xbone & Windows 10 ), then it was released on Steam in which I bought from their myself too. Why not just make FULL exclusive titles on Xbone like we see on PS4 like *Horizon: Zero Dawn. | {

After years of erasure and dehumanization, Indigenous youth will finally have something for themselves in Molly of Denali says Charitie Ropati
In a country where media continues to misconstrue who we really are, accurate representation becomes almost shocking. Pocahontas was the first film where I saw and heard the word “Indian” on screen and the film wasn’t historically accurate. It played into the narrative of white saviorism, something I wouldn’t understand until I was older. Then it was Peter Pan. Despite feelings of uneasiness as I watched the red caricature play the flute, I saw myself. But it painted my people as if we were of the past. The combination of the fetishization of native women in the film and the reinforcement of racist stereotypes by the color of their skin made me uncomfortable as I gazed at the cartoonish Indians. I asked myself as a six-year old if those that I saw on the screen were my people, growing ashamed of how grotesque the characters were.
As I grew older, I realized that I had to ask myself whether or not these films and television shows perpetuated disparaging stereotypes? Are they harmful? Do they reinforce the harmful narrative of the “red-skinned Indian?” These are the questions that many Native peoples have had to ask themselves because of the long history of erasure and misrepresentation. Molly of Denali was different. I walked into the National Museum of the American Indian with these same questions at the premiere. When the episode titled Native Names ended I realized that Native youth would finally have a culturally accurate show, a show that they could see themselves in. I was astounded, shocked and even grew emotional because it wasn't another culturally insensitive caricature but was contemporary, modern, and reflected the lives of Alaska Native children.

Molly of Denali has the potential to address stereotypes perpetuated by mainstream media and Hollywood. When people think of Alaska, they think of “Eskimos and igloos” but my people are more than a racist narrative given by colonizers. We are resilient, intelligent, modern, and reflect beyond the preconceived notions of “Eskimos.” We are here and we still exist, this is what the show means. There is a resurgence and revitalization of Indigenous peoples across the country, from the first Native American lead on Netflix, Sivalyna Rose, to an animated series on an Alaska Native girl, spaces previously dominated by Eurocentric ideals are being indigenized.
Representation matters.
I have never truly seen myself in Western media. PBS Kids will broadcast a show with an Alaska Native lead, there is power in that statement. This isn’t “another Dora,” this is Molly of Denali and after years of erasure and dehumanization, Indigenous youth will finally have something for themselves.

Tickets for the re-opening concert will go on sale Friday, December 12th at noon over at Ticketmaster. Pricing has not yet been announced, but I imagine this price-tag for a ticket to this special concert will carry at least 3 digits. | {

In a paper conveying apparatus of an image reading apparatus, image copying apparatus, etc., sometimes a jam occurs when the paper moves along the conveyance path. In general, a paper conveying apparatus is provided with the function of determining whether a jam has occurred by a paper being conveyed to a predetermined position inside the conveyance path within a predetermined time from the start of conveyance of the paper and of stopping the operation of the apparatus when a jam has occurred.
On the other hand, if a jam occurs, a large sound is generated in the conveyance path, so the paper conveying apparatus can determine whether a jam has occurred based on the sound which is generated on the conveyance path and thereby detect the occurrence of a jam without waiting for the elapse of the predetermined time.
A paper jam detection apparatus which detects a jam sound, converts it to an electrical signal, amplifies the electrical signal, and detects the jam by the specific frequency component which is included in the amplified electrical signal has been disclosed (see Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2001-302021). By experimenting on various types of jams in advance, sounds which are generated when jams occur are detected, how strong the amplitude is for each frequency component is processed and analyzed, and the frequency component with a large amplitude strength is set as a specific frequency component. | {

It was even more impressive in person. I love getting away from the city to see the stars. I still see them where i live, but the light pollution never lets me get a good enough shot. Plus it is nice to leave the electronics at home and get away. I did have my phone but it didn't get a signal so i was totally cut off from the city. | {

Q:
Linking to documentation in a comment
I'd like to provide anyone reading my plugin in Vim a direct link to the help article on command-completion
At the moment, I'm simply saying " :help command-completion but i'd love to do something like" |command-completion| to allow a user to navigate directrly with C-]. I've tried a few random combinations but nothing seems to work. Is this possible?
A:
I assume you're following the advice in the Vim help pages (:h write-local-help) and formatting your links with double-stars and double-bars in the Vim style. However, for vim to recognize them as tags, you have to set the iskeyword option correctly, namely
:set iskeyword=!-~,^*,^\|,^\"
The way Vim does this for its own help files is to use a modeline. For an example of this, type :help and go to the last line in the help window. Finally, you'll have to create a tags file for your plugin. Use the :helptags command for that.
