Kernohan's notch phenomenon in chronic subdural hematoma: MRI findings.
We report two cases of Kernohan's notch phenomenon secondary to chronic subdural hematoma detected by MRI. In the first case, the patient was drowsy with an oculomotor palsy and a hemiparesis ipsilateral to the chronic subdural hematoma. MRI in the post-operative period showed no abnormal signal or deformity of the crus cerebri. The neurological signs immediately resolved after trephination. In the second case, the patient was admitted with progressive decrease in their level of consciousness and ipsilateral hemiparesis with the chronic subdural hematoma. MRI on admission revealed an abnormal signal in the contralateral crus cerebri against the chronic subdural hematoma. After surgery, the mental state gradually recovered to normal with some degree of residual hemiparesis. In patients with chronic subdural hematoma, a compressive deformity of the crus cerebri, without abnormal signal on MRI, may predict a better neurological recovery in patients with Kernohan's notch phenomenon. |
Close correlation between behavioural response and binding in vivo for inhibitors of the rolipram-sensitive phosphodiesterase.
The antidepressant rolipram interacts in vitro with a binding site in brain tissue labeled by 3H-rolipram. A 3H-rolipram binding assay was employed in vivo to compare the affinity of rolipram-related compounds and reference phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors with their potency in behavioural measures for potential antidepressant property. In two species, mice and rats, the potency of a number of compounds to antagonise reserpine-induced hypothermia (mice) and to induce head twitches (rats) was determined, as well as their potency to displace 3H-rolipram from forebrain binding sites in vivo. The treatment schedules for the two series of experiments were identical. Significant correlations between pharmacological effects and displacement of 3H-rolipram binding in vivo were observed in both species. Since the reference PDE inhibitors closely fit into the binding-pharmacological activity relationship, the PDE inhibitory properties of the substances involved are discussed. |
It’s been a month now, since the church’s November 5th policy changes. It’s been a pretty awful month—in the church and in the broader world. I don’t know that I’ve ever felt so discouraged about my country, and its enthusiasm for guns and xenophobia. And I don’t know that I’ve ever felt so discouraged about my church.
I read more conservative Mormon blogs sometimes, some of which laud obedience above all and condemn different viewpoints. In theory, exposing myself to this is a good thing, because it seems problematic if I stay in a bubble and only read stuff that I already agree with. But in practice, I don’t know. I don’t know that it’s worth the despair I so often feel as a result. It doesn’t help that I think that they’re likely more representative of church membership than are other perspectives. When I want to believe in an expansive, inclusive church that has room for questioning and diversity, it’s painful to be reminded that so many see that vision as dangerous and even immoral. And I wonder if they’re right, that I’m deluding myself in thinking that the church has room for me.
For the most part, I don’t take it all that personally when I read from church members about the evils of homosexuality, and how gay marriage is destroying society. I don’t think it’s aimed at me as an individual—I think it’s aimed at what is perceived as a kind of amorphous, generalized threat. Because to frame it in terms of individual lives—Emily and Jane, the nice couple down the street, are ruining civilization as we know it by getting married—ends up looking and feeling absurd. Which is telling, of course. But anyway, I’d like to think that if my fellow church members who are vehemently opposed to LGBT rights met me, they’d be friendly, and would for sure help me move. I’d like to think that we could find stuff we had in common, and get along okay. And I do think that could happen.
But when people recite the justification that these policies are actually a blessing, I want to ask them to explain that to the too many LGBT members who, as a direct result of this change, have become more hopeless and even suicidal. One of my sisters once proposed that the real divide in the church isn’t between liberal and conservative, orthodox and less orthodox, but rather between those whose faith in the institution is such that they simply can’t believe it could ever harm anyone, and those who have found themselves in some way broken by it. I think that many members genuinely can’t conceive of the church as hurting people, and so they have to find a way to spin everything, even outright cruelty, in positive terms. That can really mess with your thinking, though, when you get told that the things that are hurting you are actually good for you.
In Relief Society today, we talked about holding on to faith in the face of challenges, and people said the usual things. Go back to the basics. Focus on what you do know. In some ways, that makes sense to me. It’s because of some basic beliefs, after all, that I stay in the church. But it’s not as if those basic beliefs can be neatly separated from the basic questions with which I’m grappling. One fundamental, it was proposed, is that we are children of God. But it’s precisely that belief that makes me question policies which hurt God’s children who happen to be LGBT.
I’m enough of an optimist to think that these policies will eventually change. But I don’t know if that means months or years or even decades. The damage that they’ve already done is heartbreaking. Even if things were to change tomorrow, as happy as I’d be, I’d still be mourning for the fallout, for how many people we’ve already lost. And I’m not sure that we’ve gained anything, besides an increased reputation for being really, really, anti-gay.
I realize that I’m not saying anything that hasn’t been said a thousand times on different blogs in the last month. I don’t feel more settled or insightful or anything than I did when the policies were first announced. I still feel like the church is in some very fundamental way at the core of who I am, and I don’t want to lose that. But I’m perhaps as bothered by the ease with which church members have swallowed these changes as I am with the changes themselves. I tell myself that it doesn’t matter if they want me, because they’re going to be stuck with me. And a visiting member of the stake presidency today told me that he liked my rainbow ribbon, which was cool. And there are still so many things that I love about the church and the Mormon community. But time isn’t helping with this particular wound. I find myself imagining, really imagining, what it would be like to leave. It’s not so much that I think the grass is greener elsewhere. It’s that it might be green at all.
But there’s an episode of MASH in which Colonel Potter is planning to retire, much to the consternation of his unit. And Hawkeye says to him, “You can give me a hundred good reasons to leave, and I can’t give you one good reason to stay. Stay anyway.” There’s something about that exchange that articulates why I’m still around. |

Evaluating high-fidelity human simulators and standardized patients in an undergraduate nursing health assessment course.
An undergraduate nursing health assessment course provided three experiential modalities for practicing health assessment skills: high-fidelity human simulators (HFS), standardized patients (SP) and community volunteers (CV). Previous research has examined the impact of each distinct modality on learning outcomes. However, few studies have compared these learning strategies. This study investigates learners' satisfaction, self-efficacy and performance behaviors among three learning approaches. Forty-four undergraduate nursing students were randomly assigned to perform focused respiratory assessments on a HFS, SP or CV. Participants completed the Health Assessment Educational Modality Evaluation (HAEME) survey to assess self-efficacy and modality satisfaction. A performance checklist evaluated assessment skills. Performance behaviors were significantly greater with HFS, but learners were significantly less satisfied with this modality. Significant differences in students' self-efficacy were not found across the three modalities. Significantly lower satisfaction with HFS may reflect learners' perceived lack of realism. However, HFS may provide a low-stress opportunity for novice learners to practice skills. Results support the integration of distinct experiential learning modalities in an undergraduate nursing health assessment course. |
The First Minutes

The first minutes after the baby comes into this world are so exhilarating and emotional for the parents. Everything seems to come together and the life is full of dreams and plans in that moment.The baby is really busy in first few hours. The lungs kick-start when the baby cries or just splutters for the first time. The newborn is then thoroughly dried with warm towels so as to not lose heat, and when clear that he/she looks active and normal, the baby goes to the mother. Once placed on mother's abdomen or between mother's breasts, baby apparently feels safe and the transition from life in womb to outside the uterus is much easier.Every baby is different. Some babies need help to begin to nurse and others find their way to the nipple quickly. Apparently every newborn, when placed on mother's abdomen, soon after birth, has the ability to find mother's breast all on her own and to decide when to take the first breastfeed. This is called 'Breast Crawl'. They often use small push-ups as they maneuver their own way to reach the nipple. It is such an amazing this to watch and usually the parents find it worth the wait. While doing a crawl, there are those moments when mother and the baby gaze at each other. This is a precious experience that parents will always remember.In first hour or so of birth, infants usually are in a very quiet state if placed close to the mother. They would hardly cry. They will make those cute little sounds to show they are hungry, and make eye contact with parents once in a while. And once they are tired, they will go back to sleep again.VisionHow far can a newborn see? The vision of a newborn is a little fuzzy. They cannot see too far. Infants can only see a few inches away. They prefer high contrast items. They may also be attracted to bright primary colors. So this is the time, to hold the baby close to your face and watch them imitate your facial expression in their own cute little ways. The vision gets better and more focused with each passing month.HearingThe baby is well acquainted with the sound of their mother as the sound travels easily through womb. Their sense of hearing is very strong in last few hours of birth. But their hearing power is not good enough yet for outside womb, so they respond better to high pitched and exaggerated sound. This may be because it reminds them of the soothing whooshing noises in the womb. But they are most likely to respond to familiar voices that he/she heard when in the womb.Taste, Smell and TouchYour baby's taste buds develop in the womb because they were exposed to your diet through your amniotic fluid. The same taste of food also passes through your breast milk. A newborn has a strong sense of smell as well. They can distinguish between the smell of their mother and any other woman. An embryo develops its first sense of touch just before the eighth week. Slowly each part of body will start responding to touch while still in the womb. A newborn responds to various aspects of touch. And since the hands and lips have largest number of touch receptors, a newborn enjoys sucking to their own thumb.As the newborn grows, parents grow and change. You will fall in love with your baby a little bit more every single day. Baby begins to respond slowly and a strong emotional bond builds between the baby and the parents. Gradually the baby develops the foundation of strong and wonderful attachment with the family. |

Dandy-Walker syndrome successfully treated with cystoperitoneal shunting--case report.
A neonate presented with Dandy-Walker syndrome manifesting as a large posterior cranial fossa cyst, aplasia of the lower cerebellar vermis, and elevation of the confluence of the sinuses but without hydrocephalus. A cystoperitoneal shunt was placed at one month after birth. The cyst diminished in size, and marked development of the cerebellar hemispheres and descent of the confluence of sinuses were observed, but not vermis development. The primary pathology of Dandy-Walker syndrome is posterior cranial fossa cyst formation due to passage obstruction in the fourth ventricle exit area and aplasia of the lower cerebellar vermis. The first choice of treatment in patients with Dandy-Walker syndrome in whom the cerebral aqueduct is open is cystoperitoneal shunt surgery, regardless of the presence or absence of hydrocephalus. |

Conventional graphics data copying techniques are handicapped by the limitations or restrictions of graphics hardware, such as when relying upon a three-dimensional (3D) graphics pipeline to copy one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), and 3D memory regions from a system or video source to a destination in system or video memory. Such conventional techniques can be severely inefficient with regard to the use and waste of time, power, cache, etc., as they require running of a large number of processes and computations to perform the necessary copying tasks. |
Q:
mongodb having multiple conditions for $ne
Im trying to do a query where I exclude certain borough names such as Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island, I was able to exclude just one but can not figure out how to exclude more then just one
excluding just one:
db.rest.find({ borough : {$ne : "Brookyln"}});
this worked just to exclude one and so I looked around to see how I can do multiple and tried
db.rest.find({ borough : {$ne : ["Brooklyn", "Queens", "Staten Island"]}});
which did not work, how can I accomplish this?
A:
You can use the $nin operator:
db.rest.find({ borough : {$nin : ["Brooklyn", "Queens", "Staten Island"]}});

Structure and function of renin.
Purification and determination of the primary structure of renin laid the foundation for determining the complete structure and function. Identification of the functional groups in the active site and demonstration of the sequence homology of renin and aspartyl proteins have been the most important steps to date in characterizing the general properties of renin. The demonstration of a long subsite structure in the active site of renin and other aspartyl proteases was another important step. The lack of immuno-crossreactivity and substrate specificity between human and non-primate renin suggests that the active site of human renin is unique. This has been clearly demonstrated by the synthesis of an inhibitor peptide specific for human renin. |

Q:
Why are there no Domain Commands in DDD?
Why there are only Domain Events (not talking about CQRS) in the Domain-Driven Design theory?
Domain Commands like CreateOrder or CollectPayment seem to be a valid concept as well.
Is there a reason for this? Or are commands seen as a subset of events?
A:
Commands are typically the result of a user action. Inside the domain we don’t have user actions, therefor we don’t need commands. Instead we have events which can help us react to things that have happened in the domain as a result of a user action outside the domain.
A user clicks on a button and a command is send. When a CommandHandler receives a command, it can create a new aggregate, or make an aggregate by fetching the necessary data from persistence and invoke a method on the aggregate. The invoked methods can emit events.

Q:
PHP add key value to array with each loop iteration
I have an array from which I want to create a new array with key value pairs. I think I know what's required, I just need some help with the syntax.
foreach ($stuff as $thing){
$thing1 = $thing->prop1;
$thing2 = $thing->prop2;
// this is where I need to set $newstuff = array($thing1 => $thing2);
$newstuff[] = ??
}
A:
Can use array_map() instead of foreach(). Example:
$newstuff = array_map(function($v){return array($v->prop1=>$v->prop2);}, $stuff);
And using foreach():
foreach ($stuff as $thing){
$newstuff[] = array($thing->prop1=>$thing->prop2);
}

Q:
PHP Laravel are DB function results cached?
Noob question. I'm working on a project which involves interacting with some legacy software and the database is not compatible with regular Laravel Relationships.
If I'm defining things in a constructor like this:
public function __construct(array $attributes = array())
{
parent::__construct($attributes);
$this->vatpercentage = $this->customer()->vatpercentage;
$this->vatcode = $this->customer()->vatcode;
$this->partrevision = $this->part()->revision;
$this->unitprice = $this->part()->unitprice;
}
public function part(){
return Part::findOrFail($this->partnum);
}
public function customer(){
$traderid = Order::where('id', $this->orderid)->value('traderid');
return Customer::where('id', $traderid)->where('tradertype', 'C')->first();
}
I need to reference customer(), part() and other similar functions many times in the constructor. Is the DB getting queried every time I reference $this->customer(), etc or is the result cached the first time I reference it and then used for all the other times following? Basically am I doing a lot of unnecessary DB calls by coding in this way rather than setting $this->customer = $this->customer() and grabbing the values like $this->customer->example?
A:
No database query or method call is going to be cached automatically in your application, nor should it. Laravel and PHP aren't going to know how you want to use queries or methods.
Everytime you call customer(), you're building up and executing a new query. You could easily cache the result in a property if that's what you want, but you'd have watch the value of the $orderid property:
protected $customerCache;
public function customer()
{
if ($customerCache) return $customerCache;
$traderid = Order::where('id', $this->orderid)->value('traderid');
return $customerCache = Customer::where('id', $traderid)->where('tradertype', 'C')->first();
}
You're also performing too much in your constructor. I would highly recommend not performing queries in any constructors, constructors should be used to pass dependencies. The way you have it designed would make it very hard to unit test.

Astronomy
Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences, that includes an observation and explanation of the events taking place outside of the Earth and its atmosphere. It studies the origin, development, properties of the objects observed on the sky(and they are out of the limits of the Earth), and also processes related to them. |
This invention relates to automatic transmissions having a layshaft kinematic arrangement, particularly to automatic transaxles having dual input clutches, but no torque converter.
Automatic transmissions for transmitting power between an input and an output, either over a continuously variable range of speed ratios or in discrete step changes among speed ratios, have associated with them several sources of parasitic losses, which adversely affect fuel economy. These losses are associated with a torque converter, open hydraulic friction clutches and brakes, hydraulic pump, and gear meshes.
To improve fuel economy in a motor vehicle having an automatic transmission, an automated shift manual (ASM) transmission can be used to eliminate or substantially reduce all of these parasitic losses except gear mesh losses. An ASM transmission generally performs gear ratio changes by first interrupting torque transmitted from the engine to the transmission input, preparing the transmission components associated with the next speed ratio, and then restoring torque at the input. A primary functional feature of ASM transmissions is the need to interrupt power transmitted from the engine to the transmission input shaft before or during each gear ratio change.
Dual clutch layshaft transmissions are essentially two ASM transmissions, one providing odd numbered gears and one providing even numbered gears. Shifts between odd numbered gears and even numbered gears can be accomplished without interrupting power flow. While operating in an odd numbered gear, couplers can be actuated to configure the transmission for the next even numbered gear. Dual clutch transmissions have parasitic losses only slightly higher than ASM transmissions.
Motor vehicles, in which the front wheels are the driven wheels and the engine and transmission are located in a forward engine compartment, generally require the engine and transmission to be arranged in a space whose lateral dimension is limited by the spacing between the front wheels. The engine compartments of such vehicles are both narrow and short. When the engine is also of the type having six in-line cylinders, there is an acute need to minimize the package space occupied by the transaxle, particularly its lateral dimension, in order to conserve space for long engines. |
Eco-Friendly Shades and Shutters
The last few decades have seen a major rise in eco-consciousness. It is both fashionable and ethical to pay careful attention to how companies source the products they are offering. We know now that our planet’s resources are finite and that long term effects of industry and supply chains can be significant. At Colorado Shade and Shutter, we take our commitment to the earth seriously and want to provide eco-conscious consumers with equal quality products. You shouldn’t have to choose between your conscience and your style, and with us you don’t.
Modern shutters are made from lightweight and durable materials for longevity and beauty, though the most common material is historically wood. Modern design takes advantage of developments in engineered materials to provide wood alternatives that look and behave like wood, or better. These can withstand severe temperature swings without showing any of the degradation that a lower quality wood may be subject to. But if you want to stick with a classic, you can rest easy knowing that all of our woods are carefully sourced.
We love trees and forests, that’s why our SmartWood comes from managed forests. This ensures that a healthy ecosystem remains behind as we harvest materials. Although our wood comes from some of the best-managed timber production operations in the world, we understand if it still gives you some pause. This is why we offer composite woods, made from recycled scraps, so you don’t have to worry about cutting down a new tree for the wooden shutters you have been dreaming of.
When it comes to home cooling, shades and shutters are without doubt the eco-friendly option. Don’t waste precious energy and money by blasting your air conditioning if some well-placed and stylish shading can provide much of the cooling that you need. Open your plantation shutters to let in the light and air on a cool morning, and shut them to block out the hot sun on a sweltering afternoon. Or find a good middle ground using our operable louvers on our plantation shutters.
We love our home state, Colorado. We do what we can to bring you the best products for you and for Colorado. We know our climate well, and we know blinds and shutters, so we want to work with you to find the right option for your home design, for your budget, and for your beliefs. Maybe that means some sheer privacy shades, or maybe some of our hardwood options to bring you the beauty and comfort that operable louvered blinds bring. Maybe it means using a new hybrid engineered material for a new set of plantation shutters to complete your house’s look and temperature control. Whatever is right for you and your house, we have the selection, expertise, and care to make your ideas reality. |

Inborn errors of metabolism.
Inborn errors of metabolism, also known as inherited metabolic diseases, constitute an important group of conditions presenting with neurologic signs in newborns. They are individually rare but collectively common. Many are treatable through restoration of homeostasis of a disrupted metabolic pathway. Given their frequency and potential for treatment, the clinician should be aware of this group of conditions and learn to identify the typical manifestations of the different inborn errors of metabolism. In this review, we summarize the clinical, laboratory, electrophysiologic, and neuroimaging findings of the different inborn errors of metabolism that can present with florid neurologic signs and symptoms in the neonatal period. |

These are all good questions and I doubt anyone here could answer any of them at this point...
I will only hypothesize that him and some one like Phil, even in limited/part time advisory role, could convince some "A" list players to sign in Toronto. Maybe not right away, this summer... but hopefully, sooner rather than later. Come to think of this whole story-line - practically, there is no other meaningful impact. Maybe some other expansion of the empire with real estate, open new bars, which will bring even more $, which could (hypothetically) be used on future players - all this after some initial success, of course.
A bright light for me is the dismiss of the Haws ceiling. Championship talk is music to my ears.

Maybe not right away, this summer... but hopefully, sooner rather than later. Come to think of this whole story-line - practically, there is no other meaningful impact. Maybe some other expansion of the empire with real estate, open new bars, which will bring even more $, which could (hypothetically) be used on future players - all this after some initial success, of course.
A bright light for me is the dismiss of the Haws ceiling. Championship talk is music to my ears.
If I were a player and my high priced agent is telling me that the Toronto Raptors are about to be owned by one of the biggest conglomorates in North America I think it might change my perception of the franchise. Who would you play for, a cheap owner like Jordan who doesn't want to pay anyone or a wealthy owner like the Buss family? Then you add to that that Tim Leiwke, a well respected and well known entity in sports is running the show and possibly Phil Jackson is also representing Toronto....seems like a big build up in our favour. Perhaps the players themselves don't keep up to date on things like ownership changes, but I'm sure agents are well versed in these matters. Hopefully they see Toronto as a good destination for their clients.

But wasn't MLSE one of the North America's biggest sports conglomerates long before Lieweke? What does he bring that changes anything in that regard?
First, good find Matt. McLean's would be the last place I look for Raptors news.
Second, I had no idea McLean's was owned by Rogers :|
Third, what the hell does a person in Lieweke's position do? Other than hiring GMs, what does his job description entail? What are his day-to-day activities that actually contribute to winning basketball games?
I understand that there's a lot to be excited about based on his past, and these recent comments, but is this guy capable of making a difference on the court by sitting in the stands with us creatons?
As he said in his interviews:
- he hires competent people,
- he lets them do their job,
- he continuously checks in,
- he continuously asks what needs to be done to make a winner.
I guess the excitement would come from his experience in the NBA and who he has worked with. He has a couple of things going for him that MLSE has not had in a long time:
- someone making decisions at the top who knows what they are talking about when it comes to sports,
- someone who cares about winning as much as profits,
- someone who is going to have a flashing bullshit detector when Colangelo is passing the buck.
**This is all my opinion based on your third question. I give it as much credibility as Colangelo** |

G protein betagamma subunits interact with alphabeta- and gamma-tubulin and play a role in microtubule assembly in PC12 cells.
The betagamma subunit of G proteins (Gbetagamma) is known to transfer signals from cell surface receptors to intracellular effector molecules. Recent results suggest that Gbetagamma also interacts with microtubules and is involved in the regulation of the mitotic spindle. In the current study, the anti-microtubular drug nocodazole was employed to investigate the mechanism by which Gbetagamma interacts with tubulin and its possible implications in microtubule assembly in cultured PC12 cells. Nocodazole-induced depolymerization of microtubules drastically inhibited the interaction between Gbetagamma and tubulin. Gbetagamma was preferentially bound to microtubules and treatment with nocodazole suggested that the dissociation of Gbetagamma from microtubules is an early step in the depolymerization process. When microtubules were allowed to recover after removal of nocodazole, the tubulin-Gbetagamma interaction was restored. Unlike Gbetagamma, however, the interaction between tubulin and the alpha subunit of the Gs protein (Gsalpha) was not inhibited by nocodazole, indicating that the inhibition of tubulin-Gbetagamma interactions during microtubule depolymerization is selective. We found that Gbetagamma also interacts with gamma-tubulin, colocalizes with gamma-tubulin in centrosomes, and co-sediments in centrosomal fractions. The interaction between Gbetagamma and gamma-tubulin was unaffected by nocodazole, suggesting that the Gbetagamma-gamma-tubulin interaction is not dependent on assembled microtubules. Taken together, our results suggest that Gbetagamma may play an important and definitive role in microtubule assembly and/or stability. We propose that betagamma-microtubule interaction is an important step for G protein-mediated cell activation. These results may also provide new insights into the mechanism of action of anti-microtubule drugs. |
A wireless sensor network (WSN) (sometimes referred to as a wireless sensor and actuator network (WSAN)) are spatially distributed autonomous sensors or nodes to monitor/control physical or environmental conditions such as temperature, sound, pressure and so forth. Sensors or actuators on the network cooperatively pass collected data through the network to a central location where data is analyzed and stored and/or commands sent to operate the respective network nodes. Many networks are bi-directional, and thus also enable control of sensor activity. These networks and nodes are used in many industrial and consumer applications such as industrial process monitoring and control, machine health monitoring, and so forth. One important factor for operating nodes on the network is for very low power consumption.
Power consumption in such networks is an important factor as the devices employed at each node are relatively inexpensive and often times operate from battery power. One manner in which to reduce the power of low power wireless networks is to have intermittent data transfer (burst operation) when sending and receiving data to the nodes. Sleep timers are sometimes employed to synchronize the burst operations. Since the sleep timer is usually always ON, the sleep timer needs to be both very low power and very accurate for lowest system power. However, conventional crystal oscillator drivers in the sleep timers can have large power losses based on process variations in the timer circuit and thus can cause high power consumption which reduces battery lifetime. |

The Epic Saga of a Smart Meter Opt-out-OMG
This is a hair-raising documentary by Truthstream Media’s Aaron and Melissa Dykes about the bureaucratic marathon involved in opting out of the Oncor SmartMeter installed in their Texas home. The bizarre antics and intimidation tactics of the service provider, customer support and technical crews are totally astonishing.
Bruised but not beaten, Aaron and Melissa say the switch was worth it in every way. They felt better without the spiking baths of ionizing radiation, they stopped getting headaches, their small son stopped sleeping on the couch in the livingroom (his bedroom was right next to the SmartMeter), their monthly bill went down and they eventually recouped the extortionate cost of opting out. Then, of course, there was the satisfaction of victory against the Man.
“One way to oppose the establishment is to waste their resources and make it cost too much to carry out bad policies,” Aaron remarks |

Enhanced activity and selectivity in cyclohexane autoxidation by inert H-bond acceptor catalysts.
Herein, we demonstrate that the chain-initiating dissociation of cyclohexyl hydroperoxide, CyOOH, is substantially accelerated by H-bond acceptors (e.g. Teflon), which assist O-O bond breaking by stabilising the leaving *OH radical. This is a completely new approach to boost the chain-propagating radical concentration. Indeed, up to now, literature has remained focussed on transition metal catalysis. In addition to this initiation effect, we demonstrate how inert perfluorinated compounds are also able to steer the selectivity at the molecular level, by promoting the conversion of the intermediate cyclohexyl hydroperoxide to the most desired end-product, cyclohexanone. This effect is explained by an enhanced, H-bond-assisted, hydroperoxide propagation. This hitherto overlooked hydroperoxide propagation was recently presented by us as the dominant cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol source. We herein thus confirm our previously reported autoxidation scheme, and illustrate its usefulness as a solid basis for designing new catalytic systems. |
Delivery of biotherapeutics by inhalation aerosol.
The role of inhalation therapy is adapting to changes brought on by advances in several related disciplines. These range from device technology to the molecular and cell biology of the lungs. Acceptable bioavailability and efficacy have been achieved via the oral route for most traditional pharmaceuticals. Unfortunately, injection is the normal mode of delivery with biotherapeutic agents and alternative delivery approaches are needed. Many preclinical and clinical studies with inhaled proteins, peptides, and DNA have been completed and demonstrate that efficacy can be achieved within the lungs and systemically. Despite the promising results, the development of inhaled biotherapeutics is beset with unique problems that require an integrated and rational approach to development. Aqueous protein formulations are often not stable to aerosolization, while stability of powder formulations can be difficult to evaluate in the solid state. Inhaler efficiency and reproducibility are unacceptable with existing devices and, although improvements in technology have brightened the outlook, new devices are not yet available and remain untried with most biotherapeutics. Once delivered to the lungs, these molecules are also subjected to a variety of efficient clearance mechanisms that can significantly reduce the probability of them being effective. Despite these problems, the number of potential drugs being tested via inhalation continues to increase, suggesting some promise of future success. This review discusses the above issues and highlights a variety of biotherapeutics that have been administered as inhalation aerosols. |
Clinical physiology of adrenergic receptor regulation.
Radioligand binding studies now permit the direct investigation of the alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors. The concentration of the receptors in cell membranes is modulated by a wide variety of physiological and pathophysiological variables and may be either increased or decreased in different conditions. Ligand binding techniques have also shed light on the ways in which the adrenergic receptors are coupled to other components of the hormone-sensitive adenylate cyclase system. This "coupling" is also a highly regulated step, control of which importantly influences catecholamine and sensitivity of tissues. |

Q:
Complex join query with query builder
I am trying to write a complex query with query builder and I need help(I am a complete noob in join queries) The situation is like this, I have a country table, a hotel table with country_id relationship, and promotions with hotel_id relationship.
So hotels have countries, and promotions have hotels. Now I need to find all promotions who belong to a a set of countries. To do that I need to check that the hotels they belong to are in those countries.
Anyway can someone help me build the query with query builder? I'll accept mysql queries as well.
A:
Assuming you have set up your relationships with @OneToMany and @ManyToOne in your entities and you've populated a desired Doctrine collection or array of IDs of countries into $countries:
$result = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager()->createQueryBuilder()
->select('c, h, p')
->from('AcmeBundle:Promotion', 'p')
->innerJoin('p.hotels', 'h')
->innerJoin('h.country', 'c')
->where('c IN (:countries)')
->setParameter('countries', $countries)
->getQuery()
->getResult();
The resulting SQL will end up being something similar to:
SELECT c.*, h.*, p.* FROM promotions p
INNER JOIN hotels h ON p.hotel_id = h.id
INNER JOIN country c ON h.country_id = c.id
WHERE c.id IN (?)
Note that this query will not work without defining your Doctrine entities appropriately. Since you didn't provide your Entity configuration, I had to answer your question with assumptions. Here's some more information on setting up your Database with Doctrine, specifically Entity Relationship mapping

It takes a while to figure out why this deliciously yummy concoction about urban aspirations is called "One By Two". And it would be a crime more criminal than character assassination to tell you why the two main characters in the film never meet till the closing moments.
This is a film that wears its heart on its sleeve. And it doesn't roll up that sleeve when the narrative is endangered by uncomfortable twists of circumstances. Devika Bhagat loves her protagonists Samara and Amit, quirks, excesses, flatulence and all.
The urban fable constructs Samara and Amit's dreams as a spiral of frustrations. We really don't expect these two people to come out triumphant at the end. And really, they don't. What they do is to connect themselves as very believable young people with dreams that seem to be picked out from the streets rather than manufactured on a cinematic stage.
One of them likes to pound the guitar. The other one loves to dance. She is on that crazy journey through the dance-reality show, the kind that Anushka Sharma embraced in Aditya Chopra's "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" to fob off a housewife's boredom.
The dysfunctional girl Samara(effectively played by Preeti Desai)has serious dreams that seem driven more by her alcoholic mother's frustrations. Indeed some of the film's most effective dialogues and drama emerges in the mother and daughter scenes....Quite understandable when the mother is played by the ever-dependable Lilette Dubey.
There are some very interesting incidental characters lining up to lend a sense of optimism to the central dilemma of two characters who never seem to get their fundas right. Among the peripheral characters Abhay's two clingy office colleagues make an interesting study in work-place behaviour. Just why these two back-benchers end up necking in Abhay's bedroom is a mystery no one , not even the film's writer, can unravel.
I specially liked the spirited sassy girl (played by Yashika Dhillon) who plays the brassy bahenji chosen as a Bahu by Abhay's over-zealous parents(Rati Agnihotri and Jayant Kripalani, making a cute if cliched 'careless' couple).
Besides the fact that the real-life Abhay-Preeti pair never meet till the end,the remarkable thing about "One By Two" is that it weaves interesting episodes into inherently routine lives making their anonymous existence seem far more special than it actually is. That's the magic created by the skilled writing, convincing characterization and of course credible performances.
While Preeti as the day-time dreamer tripping over her dance shoes to get to the finishing lines, gets a tailor-made role(including a scene justifying her poor command over the Hindi language), it is Abhay who holds the yawning stretches of this urban tale where the human aspirations don't listen to the alarm clock.
Abhay clocks up a very assured working-class hero's character. He is bitter but not broken. Bewildered by the vagaries of life, but never unamused by the irony of it all. He is everyman, and yet special in his ordinariness.
As for the film , the quirky mood is never too far off from the smooth surface. Pushing its way out of the film's inner-world the characters' insistent clamorous self-projections become more amusing than tragic when weighed against the sheer commonness of their dreams.
There is a warm lived-in feeling to Bhagat's directorial debut. It may not win your heart as unconditionally as Farhan Akhtar's directorial debut "Dil Chahta Hai". But there's a winsome, bubbly bouncy and ebullient quality to this take on urban aspirations. |
This invention relates to a heat exchanger, and more particularly to an integrated solid propellant gas source (i.e., gas generator) and fluid heat exchanger.
There are many situations where a heated fluid is needed quickly from a remote source of unheated fluid. One of these situations is with regard to prepacked liquid engine missiles, where pressurized gas is needed to pressurize oxidizer tanks. Unfortunately, prior art solid propellant gas generators are not able to pressurize oxidizer tanks, because of the reaction between the oxidizer and the gas generated by the solid propellant.
Prior to the advent of the instant invention no direct means was available to overcome this problem. Specifically with regard to the prepackaged liquid engine missiles, the options that were available were: (a) an independent pressurizing source, such as a nitrogen tank, completely separated from the fuel rich gases; or (b) the introduction of an interface protective barrier (i.e., a bladder) that separates the liquid from the pressurized gas. |

Q:
What are Ubuntu One's security measures?
Tell me how Ubuntu One handles security. Is my data encrypted when stored on Ubuntu servers? Who holds the key? Do Ubuntu One employees have access to my data?
A:
From the Ubuntu One FAQ :
What security and privacy policies does Ubuntu One have?
Data transmission - We use both SSL and secure certificates to deliver Ubuntu One services in a secure manner. Secure certificates ensure that you are communicating with Ubuntu One and SSL encrypts the transmission of all subscriber data. This data include files, notes, and all other data backed-up and synchronized through your personal cloud. SSL is good enough for banks so it should be good enough for us.
To authenticate the desktop software, we use oauth. This means that the desktop has a token that passes to the server to validate it. This enables subscribers to authenticate many computers independently and remove access from any one machine just by going to the Ubuntu One website.
We do not store your files encrypted in our data storage since we need them unencrypted in order to send them to the people you choose to share with. If you are concerned about storing your files unencrypted in the Ubuntu One cloud, you could always store the files already encrypted so Ubuntu One never sees the plain text files. Doing so may prevent the proper functionality of some Ubuntu One features such as multiple computer synchronization, web browser access, and sharing with others.
Additional details can be found in the Ubuntu One Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
Personal data - Ubuntu One uses the Ubuntu Single Sign On service for user authentication. Please refer to the Ubuntu Privacy Policy for details on data security and retention.

The sinker technique: a simple, effective technique for exposing coronary arteries in off-pump surgery.
Exposure and stabilization of coronary arteries in the circumflex and right territory is essential for off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. A new, easy technique of exposing and stabilizing coronary arteries using a sinker (weight) hung on a silicone elastomer suture for hemostasis from the arteriotomy is described. |
Black Pond Wildlife Management Area
Black Pond Wildlife Management Area is a New York State Wildlife Management Area (WMA) that lies on the eastern shore of Lake Ontario, and at the northern limit of an unusual region of sandy barrier beaches and lagoons. Much of the barrier beach in Black Pond WMA has forested sand dunes that are about high; these are the highest sand dunes in the northeast United States excepting Cape Cod. Immediately north of the WMA is the El Dorado Beach Preserve, which is a bird refuge owned by The Nature Conservancy. North of the outlet from Black Pond to Lake Ontario, the shoreline is a weathered, flat bedrock shelf that is "calcareous" instead of sandy.
From the parking lot at road's end, the WMA has an accessible trail and boardwalk that reaches through the interior wetlands to the sandy beach on Lake Ontario. From the terminus of the boardwalk, it is possible to walk south along the beach for about without getting wet feet. This beach route passes out of the WMA, past the beachfront residences of Jefferson Park, through Southwick Beach State Park, and into the sizable Lakeview Wildlife Management Area. Walking north along the beach leads onto the El Dorado Beach Preserve; a hiking trail and bird-watching blinds at the Beach Preserve are normally reached by Grandjean Road, which is north of Black Pond.
Black Pond WMA, with Lakeview WMA, Deer Creek Marsh WMA, and the Sandy Pond Beach Unique Area, comprise the Eastern Lake Ontario Marshes Bird Conservation Area. The Nature Conservancy's adjacent El Dorado Beach Preserve extends this bird conservation area. Black Pond WMA, Southwick Beach State Park, Lakeview WMA, Sandy Pond Beach Natural Area, and Deer Creek Marsh WMA have been included in a New York Natural Heritage Area, the "Eastern Lake Ontario Barrier Beach and Wetland Complex".
The WMA and the Beach Preserve are in the Town of Ellisburg in Jefferson County.

I believe I may have mentioned already that I am helping mother clear out the house that she and Big Daddy have been living in for over fifty years. Yes, it is quite a job, but every day, we find new treasures, and I am enjoying the process in between bouts of tearing my hair out and taking tranquilizers.
When we got to my old bedroom and opened the closet, mom explained that she had saved my doll collection, and that I should be the one who decided what to do about it. They were all in shoe boxes, so I put them in a bag in the car, and waited until I got home to open them up and get a trip down memory lane. I just used to love those dolls.
OK, so the first one I opened was this:
I just want to say something before we go further into this post. First of all I have no memory of this doll. I know that doesn’t sound good. He was probably buried in the doll box and I only played with like, the Scarlett O’Hara doll. There is really nothing else I can say, without making it worse. Except…
Then I had this idea. Earlier on the same day, mother had pulled out her collection of old political badges. I mean, at least they are Democrats, right? So I did try to make it better:
After that, I decided to call Junior and Miss Pearl into the parlour to help me out, because before I knew what was happening, I had a major political incident on my hands. One by one, we pulled out the dolls and I applied the appropriate badges. Before long, we had a whole feminist liberationist Central America/Cesar Chavez thing going on:
Then it all got a bit silly. Junior offered to donate his Andy Warhol doll (after all, I am my mother’s daughter) to the tableau:
He then decided that these two looked kind of like a couple:
So there you go. Now I have what is perhaps the most politically incorrect mantlepiece on the planet. Or maybe the most politically correct? Who knows? At least I feel as though, in some strange way, I have empowered my dolls. |

Q:
Performance monitor visualization tool
I'm looking for a tool to display data from performance monitor counters. I'm looking for something that would be visually appealing (look like a dashboard) and it should be able to aggregate (sum up) over multiple counters. No thresholds/alarming needed, we are using Nagios for that.
A:
I would look into Cacti for this. It is fairly customizable, with respect to exactly what you are graphing, and how the data should be interpreted. It should be capable of doing what you need.

Gurdjieff used to say to his disciples, ‘Don’t ask me what to do. You cannot do anything, because to do something first you will be needed. And you are not there, so who will do it? You can think about doing, but you cannot do anything.’ Also he insisted that there is no soul in a man. Against all the traditions he insisted, ‘Man has no soul. Soul is simply a possibility – it can be, it may not be. It has to be achieved. You are simply a seed. The Fourth Way system that he developed aims at developing… Read more » |
PARP inhibition: A promising therapeutic target in ovarian cancer.
Ovarian cancer is burdened by the highest mortality rate among gynecological cancers. Gold standard is represented by the association of platinum-taxane -based chemotherapy and radical surgery. Despite several adjustments occurred in cytotoxic drug in last decades, most patients continue to relapse, and no significant enhancement has been reached in the overall survival. The development of drug resistance and the recurrence of disease have prompted the investigations of other targets that can be used in the treatment of ovarian cancers. Among such targets, polyadenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) represents a novel way to target specific patways involved in tumor growth. PARP accelerates the reaction of the polyADP-ribosylation of proteins implicated in DNA repair. PARP inhibitors have shown activity in cancers with BRCA mutations, with other deficient DNA repair genes or signaling pathways that modulate DNA repair, or in association with DNA damaging agents not involved in DNA repair dysfunction. A number of inhibitors for PARP has been developed, and such drugs are under investigation in clinical trials to identify their impact in the treatment of ovarian cancers. This review aims to summarize the recent researches and clinical progress on PARP inhibitors as novel target agents in ovarian cancer. |

MERRILLVILLE — A northwestern Indiana community is planning to turn a trash-filled former lumberyard into a new park honoring the region's unions.
Town Councilwoman Carol Miano says Merrillville recently acquired the land after she discovered it was listed on a tax sale. She tells The Times of Munster that the Lake County commissioners were instrumental in taking the land off the tax sale so Merrillville could buy it for the park project.
She says the new park will be called Union Park to honor local unions.
Northwestern Indiana Building and Construction Trades Council business manager Randy Palmateer says the union appreciates the council's decision to recognize local working families. Palmateer says he's excited about the planned park. |
Seriously, every time we think the left-wing fascists hit a new low, they just keep digging. This time a university has just declared that the phrase “politically incorrect” is, itself, yes… politically incorrect.
From Campus Reform:
The phrase “politically correct” is now a microaggression according to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
The university’s “Just Words” campaign is the work of UWM’s “Inclusive Excellence Center” and aims to “raise awareness of microaggressions and their impact”—microaggressions like “politically correct” or “PC.”
The university also claims the word “lame” is a microaggression that somehow both “ridicules and ignores the lives of amputees” and therefore shouldn’t be used.
UWM also claims that using the phrase “third world” to describe third world countries is a microaggression because it “reinforces heirarchical [sic] attitudes towards nations around the world, [and] establishes Westernized (industrialized) countries and cultures as the ‘standard’ upon which to measure national well-being or economic status.”
Interestingly enough, while the university’s Inclusive Excellence Center has labeled several common-use adjectives harmful, the man running the campaign, Warren Scherer, the director of the university’s Inclusive Excellence Center, has taken to Twitter to express his displeasure with Republican presidential candidates in a non-inclusive manner. |
Q:
post to another domain from cakephp controller
Is it possible to POST to another domain from inside of a cake controller? I am collecting data and posting to the server and once confirmed it has saved I need to send the data out to another server. the other server is not running cake so just a POST to the other server's processing script page is where I need to send it.
I am already doing that via sending an ajax post then normal post one right after the other but I would rather wait until I have confirmed that the data has been stored before it is sent.
Thank you.
A:
Cakephp doesn't have a method to do so. That is not a normal flow of action, you should normally have a form that sends the data to the other domain script, does something and then you are redirected back to a page with the results either by cookie, by get or directly in the url path...
Still you have some ways to achieve that
My sugestion is that you use curl, that way you can send the post data to another domain page and maybe receive a json code that you can parse and understand.
Also you can use the get method insted of post to send the data to the other place and make sure the other place redirects you back. Or you can continue with the js solution. :)
also you can do it another way, opening a tcp connection and sending the request there...
Hope this helps you.

Episode summary: Amanda is nearly abducted by enemies of the Moldavian royal family. Steven invites Luke to Amanda's wedding. Recast Fallon makes her first appearance.
Recap: Prince Michael and his security entourage enter his La Mirage suite, and the men are all "What the fuuuuuck?!" when they see Amanda sitting on the sofa. Yuri (the head security guy who wears an eye-patch) demands to know how she got into the suite and if she's alone...and when Amanda looks put out by the aggressive inquisition, Prince Michael tells Yuri to chillax and go deal with the luggage. Amanda explains to Michael that she's well known around the La Mirage, so when she told the front desk people she's his fiancee, they promptly let her into the suite. Prince Michael orders Yuri to check and recheck the security protocols within the hotel, then apologizes to Amanda for the unpleasant freakout just now. Amanda poutishly tells him she has no desire to live under lock and key...and that while she loves him, she doesn't love the feeling of being caged. Prince Michael urges her to think of being caged as feeling loved and protected, then assures her that for now they're safe and under guard...and that inside this suite they're free to do whatever they like. Amanda perks up at that and gives him an amorous smooch.
Jeff drops by Alexis' ColbyCo office to show her the concert crowd photograph he's pretty sure is a Fallon sighting. Alexis studies the photo and concedes that, yep, the woman in question bears a strong resemblance to Fallon, then lectures him about how hard it is to let someone go when you lose them. When Jeff insists that the woman is definitely Fallon, Alexis cries, "Fallon is dead!" and advises him to get on with his life.
Krystle canoodles Kristina and tells Blake she's soooo happy to be back home...then muses about how Sammy Jo was once a vulnerable little baby. She tells Blake she promised Rock Hudson she'd look out for her niece if something were to happen to him, and Blake rolls his eyes dismissively and says she's a big girl and is just going to wind up hurting her (Krystle) again. He then steers her into their bedroom, where a giant fur rug is spread out among candles. Oh ick. Krystle's all, "Ooooh! How romantic!", and the two lay down and start to go at it atop the rug, which...blech, blech, and double blech.
Over at the La Mirage, Lady Ashley asks Jeff whassup with him being distracted, then correctly guesses that he's still pondering whether or not it's really Fallon in the concert crowd photo. When he insists that it is Fallon, Lady Ashley firmly tells him she won't be used to "blot out painful memories" and that she wants to be the woman he's thinking about while they're doinking. She declares that she's suspending their May-December hookup until he can come to a resolution about his Fallon obsession, and Jeff nods his agreement before sadly shuffling out of the room.
After dining out at a fancy restaurant, Prince Michael tells Yuri that he and Amanda are skipping an outing to a local nightclub 'cause they want to return to La Mirage. Yuri's all, "But the nightclub is on the agenda!" and makes it clear he doesn't like the idea of him changing his plans in such willy-nilly fashion - but Prince Michael's like, "I don't give a shit if you like it or not, we're heading back to the hotel now."
At the La Mirage bar, a shady looking dude tells Yuri, "I was counting on you", and Yuri explains that whatever nefarious plan they hatched had been all set to occur at the nightclub - but then the prince abruptly changed his itinerary. The shady looking dude snarls, "Get the job done! Is that clear?!" and Yuri promises that next time, nothing will go wrong.
Adam runs into Jeff, who's returning to his bedroom after a gym workout, and mockingly suggests he focus less on his muscles and more on his brain. Jeff accuses him of altering the Fred Oates cable and vows to never let anything like that happen again.
At ColbyCo, Steven tells Luke that after deeply pondering the idea of them moving in together, he's decided he can't bring himself to make a commitment to anyone, least of all a fellow gay. He insists he's not ashamed of their romance, but Luke argues, "Are too!" and storms out of the office.
Dominique drops by Alexis' office to demand an explanation as to why she opposes selling an asset (a timber company) from Tom Carrington's estate that she and Blake both agree needs selling. Alexis says she strongly feels that the estate should hold onto this asset, and is relishing the fact that she (Dominique) and Blake require her approval before they can go ahead with the sale. Dominique huffily snarks, "This isn't the end of the deal! We'll see you court!" then flounces out of the room.
Blake and Amanda are having breakfast and looking over the guest list for the wedding. Blake notices that Dominique's name isn't included, and a puzzled Amanda says she's sure it was on the list before she handed it over to Alexis. Blake scrunches his face irritably and says he's going to give Alexis the what for for trying to exclude his half-sister from the blessed event.
Alexis and Amanda are enjoying a private fashion show in downtown Denver when Blake wanders in to admonish Alexis. He pulls her aside and asks her whaddup with her removing Dominique's name from the guest list, and Alexis smirkingly says it was a mere oversight and that she'll make sure to [re]add it.
Dex arrives downtown just as Prince Michael and Yuri exit the royal limo. Dex ambles over and tells Prince Michael he hopes that he and Amanda will be very happy - just as Amanda and Alexis exit the fashion show building. As Amanda and Prince Michael climb into the back of the limo, a group of bad guys suddenly launch a sneak attack and knock Dex to the ground, toss Michael out of the limo [that probably shouldn't have made me laugh as hard as it did], and restrain Amanda inside the vehicle before the driver squeals off. Alexis stares in horror after witnessing her daughter's abduction, while Dex, Prince Michael, and Yuri pile awkwardly into Dex's car to race after the limo.
During the car chase, Amanda struggles with her grab-handsy abductors in the back seat...even though there's not much chance she'd be able to escape from a moving car with two burly men sitting on either side of her. Eventually, the idiot driver ends up on a dead end road...and the bad guys are all, "Ack!" and flee the limo. Dex runs over and flings open the back door to make sure Amanda's OK, then orders Prince Michael to hold her in his arms comfortingly and gently coo at her that she's safe now - while he runs off the try to catch the bad guys on foot. Yuri gets in on that action and gets ahead in the foot chase so he can misdirect Dex about where the bad guys ran.
"We've got to rescue Amanda.."
"..from the needless manhandling she's currently enduring."
The Denver reporters gather en masse at Carrington manor for a press conference to get the skinny on Amanda's attempted abduction. One reporter asks Prince Michael if he considers this an act of terrorism 'cause of all the political unrest in his country, and Michael breezily says that since it happened on American soil, it was was likely just a band of U.S. outlaws. Blake chimes in and says he'll do whatever it takes to ensure the safety of his family...and after an irrelevant question about Adam's abduction as a baby pre-Dynasty, Blake abruptly calls an end to the pointless Q&A. Once the reporters have filed out, Blake says that the royal wedding should be held in Denver - but Prince Michael points out that since it's a state affair, it needs to be held in his country...not least 'cause the Moldavian army is loyal to the royal family and can provide excellent security. Amanda agrees that she thinks the wedding should take place as planned, and Alexis concurs and shoots Blake a fuck you smirk.
At La Mirage, Claudia coos at Adam to stop worrying so much about Amanda...but he continues to hold his head in his hands and laments about how she's never going to forget the trauma of being kidnapped. He then whines about how much more Blake likes Jeff than him, and that Blake doesn't approve of their budding romance. Claudia envelopes him into a bear hug, moans, "Tighter..", and smooches him in a show of solidarity for being totally on board with continuing their icky hookup.
Over a boring lunch at La Mirage, Lady Ashley wanks Dominique about everything she's accomplished in her life - but Dominique worries that she's somehow betraying her poor, younger self who struggled so hard to make it in the music industry. Lady Ashley tells her that she's been tapped to be the official photographer of the Moldavian wedding, and that she's falling in love [presumably with Jeff] and doesn't yet know what to do 'bout that.Steven is playing walkie talkies with Danny at the mansion when Claudia drops by to spend some quality playtime with the tot. When Steven heads upstairs to get changed for work, an irked looking Adam asks to speak with him privately. He glares at Steven and says he's trying to figure out exactly what he is: gay? straight? bi? too confused to decide? Steven snarks back that it's none of his damn business what sexual orientation the writers want to assign him at any given time, and Adam says he's utterly fascinated by what a deviant he is (yeesh). He then orders Steven to leave Claudia alone, and to not turn to her whenever he's ashamed of hooking up with Luke...and when Steven's like, "Or what?", Adam hisses, "I'll make you wish you were never born."
"What is your penis telling you today about your sexual preference?"
"Pretty much whatever the censors are willing to let the show push the envelop with this week."
Prince Michael caresses Amanda as she lays in bed beside him and gets all schmaltzy about her being a real life sleeping beauty...then says he's soooo relieved that she's OK after nearly being abducted by a group of bumbling idiots with no getaway strategy.
Over breakfast at Luke's apartment, Steven and Luke discuss their Saturday plans. Luke proposes they fly to Key West for a vacay, but Steven says he can't 'cause he has to travel to Moldavia for Amanda's wedding...and speaking of Amanda's wedding, would he like to attend as his plus one? Luke looks flattered by the invitation, but says he's worried about him flaunting their relationship to his homophobic family. Steven points out that caring for someone isn't the same as flaunting and insists he wants him there as his guest, regardless of what his shitbag of a father thinks.
Jeff is teaching Little Blake how to play chopsticks on the piano when Little Blake asks why his mommy went away. Jeff furrows his furry brows and has no answer for the troubled tot.
Jeff tells Lady Ashley that Fallon had an annoying tendency to always run away from him, and that if she is alive it's on her to deliver herself back to them. When Ashley says he'll never be happy unless he resolves the whole Fallon conundrum, he insists he's over his ex and wants her (Ashley) to be part of his future. He coos, "I love you, I want you.." while giving her another of their chemistry-free smooches.
Alexis is packing up her jewelry for the Moldavia trip when Dex enters the room. She tells him she's still pretty freaked out by her first hand account of Amanda's abduction and hates how helpless she felt as she watched it happen. She thanks him for rescuing her daughter, and he assures her that Amanda is just fine...and that while there's a tiny bit of political disgruntlement in Moldavia, overall it's a crime free country. He says his main concern is that King Galen will try to court her, and Alexis looks delighted by his jealousy - just as her manservant Lin enters the room with a cable for Dex. He instantly tears up at whatever the message is, so I'll assume it's the sad news of Rock's passing.
Blake is going over the security plan with Prince Michael and Yuri to transport Amanda and the prince to the airport prior to their flight to Moldavia. Yuri says he blames himself for the abduction and that he'd sooner die than let harm come to Prince Michael and Amanda...and an oblivious Prince Michael assures him that his devotion to the royal family is unquestioned.
Amanda bids farewell to Blake and Krystle, and excitedly says the next time they see her will be at her wedding. Squeal! Once she and Prince Michael are both out of earshot, Blake shoots Yuri the stink-eye and warns the eye-patched one that if anything happens to Amanda or the prince, he's holding him personally responsible. Yuri nods gravely and replies, "Not to worry. I know what my duty is."
En route to the airport, Prince Michael kisses Amanda and promises they'll live happily ever after...and the limo driver nods at Yuri before shooting him a sinister grin. Subtle, dude.
Jeff is staring at the Fallon portrait, which has been newly repainted to resemble Emma Samms, as he flashes back to himself telling the Emma Samms version of Fallon that she's the first girl he ever loved. Emma Samms, who struggles valiantly to conceal her British accent, returns his I love you...before Jeff carries her over to the bed and mounts her. When Jeff comes out of the flashback, he glares at the painting and screeches, "Nooooo!! Damn it! You're dead, Fallon!"
"Miss me?"
"Yes, even though you're not at all the woman I remember."
At a Los Angeles police precinct, a detective is telling a brunette with poofy hair that he needs to know what her name is if she expects him to help her. The camera then pans over to the brunette - Emma Samms, not surprisingly - as she tears up and says she has no idea what her name is, then pitifully begs, "Pleeeeease help me!"
And so begins the oddest recast in the history of primetime TV.

Tardive drug-induced extrapyramidal syndromes.
The clinical features, outcomes, differential diagnoses, epidemiology, risk factors, and treatment approaches to tardive drug-induced extrapyramidal syndromes (EPS) are reviewed. Tardive forms of dyskinesia (TD), dystonia (TDt), akathisia (TA), Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (TGTS), myoclonus (TM), and parkinsonism (TP) are described. Moreover, pharmacological and topographical subtypes of TD are discussed. While TD, TDt, and TA are clearly delineated syndromes, there are limited data on TGTS, TM, and the questionable TP. TDt is distinguished from TD by clinical and treatment-related variables. Epidemiological studies provide evidence of better prognosis for TD compared with both TDt and TA. Two distinct groups of variables were found to be associated with a higher risk for TD: an exogenous factor (neuroleptic treatment variables and alcohol or drug abuse) and a factor of predisposition (elderly, female, affective disorder diagnosis, presence of EPS, diabetes mellitus type II, and signs of central vulnerability). In contrast, being younger and male was associated with TDt. A significant relationship between the hyperkinetic forms of tardive EPS was confirmed. Therapeutic strategy differs for the mild, moderate, and severe forms of tardive EPS. Using low doses of antipsychotics is a good preventive approach. Reducing the dose or switching to an atypical antipsychotic is the usual, but not yet fully explored, first therapeutic step. Clozapine, an antipsychotic with antidyskinetic and antidystonic effectiveness, is the second treatment step. Various suppressors of tardive movements were tested in controlled trials, mainly in TD. GABAergic benzodiazepines (clonazepam), adrenergic antagonists (propranolol, clonidine), antioxidants (alpha-tocopherol), and calcium channel blockers (nifedipine) are useful in the third step of treatment of more severe tardive EPS. Unlike TD, TDt and (partially) TA improve on higher doses of anticholinergic medication. Local injection of botulinum A toxin markedly ameliorates focal tardive dystonia over several months. Less verified therapeutic interventions are discussed. |
Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) speaks at Netroots Nation conference on Saturday: "I don't want to bring a chair to an old table. This is the time to shake the table. This is the time to redefine that table. Because if you're going to come to this table, all of you who have aspirations of running for office. If you’re not prepared to come to that table and represent that voice, don’t come, because we don't need any more brown faces that don't want to be a brown voice. We don’t need black faces that don't want to be a black voice. We don't need Muslims that don’t want to be a Muslim voice. We don’t need queers that don't want to be a queer voice.

There it was, and I was the only one there. It was as if I was a real explorer. The temple looked like its natural state when explorers first arrived: overgrown trees, giant roots, moss, and rubble. Inside, there was a monk with a basket of bracelets. He mumbled a prayer in Khmer, closed his eyes, and tied a bracelet around my wrist. He bowed in prayer and I bowed back. I read that the bracelet represents many blessings.
I already had many blessings – I was not only in Angkor Wat, but I was alive to tell the story. The bracelet was the same color orange as the sunrise. That moment that astounded me. It will forever remind me that every day when you see the sunrise, it is a blessing. I vowed that from that moment on, I would get up early and watch the miracle of the sunrise.

Velocity correlations in dense granular flows observed with internal imaging.
We show that the velocity correlations in uniform dense granular flows inside a silo are similar to the hydrodynamic response of an elastic hard-sphere liquid. The measurements are made using a fluorescent refractive-index-matched interstitial fluid in a regime where the flow is dominated by grains in enduring contact and fluctuations scale with the distance traveled, independent of flow rate. The velocity autocorrelation function of the grains in the bulk shows a negative correlation at short time and slow oscillatory decay to zero similar to simple liquids. Weak spatial velocity correlations are observed over several grain diameters. The mean square displacements show an inflection point indicative of caging dynamics. The observed correlations are qualitatively different at the boundaries. |
The results of a number of experiments support the notion that exposure to television violence can increase the likelihood that children will engage in aggressive behavior themselves. Additionally, it has been recently demonstrated that observation of media violence may also lead to an increase in children's tolerance of others' aggressive behavior. The proposed research is designed to test the hypothesis that media violence affects children's tolerance of aggression through emotional habituation to such stimuli and/or through influencing children's perceptions of reality. Additionally, children's television viewing habits, aggressive behavior, and age will be examined in relation to tolerance of real life aggression. |
A radar level gauge (RLG) is suitably used for making measurements of a process variable, e.g. a filling level, of a product such as process fluids, granular compounds and other materials contained in a tank.
An example of such a radar level gauge can include transceiver circuitry for transmitting and receiving microwaves, a signal propagating device arranged to direct microwaves towards the surface and to return microwaves reflected by the surface to the transceiver, and processing circuitry adapted to determine the filling level based on a relation between microwaves transmitted and received by the transceiver.
There are different principles for performing radar level gauges, including frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) and time domain reflectometry (TDR). An FMCW based RLG will emit a radar sweep with gradually varying frequency, and mix the received signal with the original signal (homodyne mixing) to form a frequency domain tank signal. A TDR based RLG will emit a pulse train of very short pulses (order of ns), and sample the received signal with the original signal in a sample and hold circuit, thereby forming a time domain tank signal.
In both cases, the tank signal will include a set of peaks indicating echoes from the tank, and one of these peaks corresponds to the echo from the surface.
The processing is configured to identify, and typically also track, the relevant echoes, in order to distinguish the surface echo from other echoes, such as reflections from structures in the tank, double bounces, etc. The surface echo can then be used to determine the distance to the surface, and consequently the filling level.
However, each echo will typically also result in a series of smaller “ghost” echoes, flanking the “actual” echo. Such ghost echoes may be caused by imperfections in the RLG electronics, and may interfere with the echo identification. For example, a the processing circuitry may confuse the ghost echoes with actual echoes, and spend computation resources on tracking these ghost echoes. Further, the ghost echoes may reduce performance when the surface passes a structure in the tank, i.e. when the surface echo for a period of time is very close to, or completely coincides with, a stronger echo from the reflecting structure. |
Q:
Rails: How to store a value in one place and reference it in others
I would like to store a value, say the name of my app, in one place (like a constant) and then reference that throughout my app.Therefor if I need to make a global change I can make it in once place and it update throughout my app. Here is one idea on how I can make it work:
In a constants file
APPLICATION_NAME = "FuzzyOnions"
In any view I can now reference it like this:
You are going to love using the <%= Constants::APPLICATION_NAME %> application.
The problem I'm running into is when I try to reference it in places such as: <% @page_title = "<%= Constants::APPLICATION_NAME %> / About" %> rails throws an error. It also throws an error if I try to reference the constant in a link such as %= link_to 'Contact Us <%= Constants::APPLICATION_NAME %>', page_path("contact-us") %>
Is there another way to reference a constant that will not throw an error in these instances? Is there a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do to begin with?
A:
<% @page_title = "<%= Constants<::APPLICATION_NAME %> / About" %>
should be
<% @page_title = Constants::APPLICATION_NAME + " / About" %>
And:
<%= link_to 'Contact Us <%= Constants::APPLICATION_NAME %>', page_path("contact-us") %>
should be
<%= link_to 'Contact Us '+ Constants::APPLICATION_NAME, page_path("contact-us") %>

XAssist is a NASA AISR-funded project for the automatino of X-ray astrophysics, with emphasis on galaxies. It is nearing completion of its initially funded effort, and is working well for Chandra and ROSAT data. Initial support for XMM-Newton data is present as well. It is capable of data reprocessing, source detection, and preliminary spatial, temporal and spectral analysis for each source with sufficient counts. The bulk of the system is written in Python, which in turn drives underlying software (CIAO for Chandra data, etc.). Future work will include a GUI (mainly for beginners and status monitoring) and the exposure of at least some functionality as web services. The latter will help XAssist to eventually become part of the VO, making advanced queries possible, such as determining the X-ray fluxes of counterparts to HST or SDSS sources (including the use of unpublished X-ray data), and add the ability of “on-the-fly” X-ray processing. Pipelines are running on ROSAT, Chandra and now XMM-Newton observations of galaxies to demonstrate XAssist's capabilities, and the results are available online (in real time) at http://www.xassist.org. XAssist itself as well as various associated projects are available for download. |
Eisenia arborea
Eisenia arborea, or the southern sea palm (not to be confused with the sea palm), is a dominant species of kelp that is found in the Northern and Eastern Pacific from Vancouver Island, Canada south to Isla Magdalena, Mexico, and along the coast of Baja California. They are commonly found from the midtidal areas stretching to the subtidal areas. It is an edible seaweed, a source of nutrients for grazing marine invertebrates and a source of alginic acid, a food thickener. Some of the algas have a hollow stripe above its holdfast with two branches terminating in multiple blades. Eisenia arborea is studied in order to predict environmental stress in oceans intertidal zones. Hollow stripes where present when the Eisenia arborea did not receive essential nutrients for its thalli development. Eisenia arborea with hollow stripes are believed to be evolved algae in order to increase their survival in harsh living conditions. They play a huge role in determining environmental stress.
Phlorofucofuroeckol-B, a phlorotannin can be isolated from E. arborea.

Q:
Where can i find vtk documentation for python?
I am trying to use VTK from python. I tried to find and could not realy find anything on the web which can be used for documentation. I tried looking at the c++ documentation but the methods are very different.
Thanks a lot
A:
You could see the python examples at VTK's wiki. There is another resource by going to the official nightly documentation and looking for a particular class; in the section examples for many (not all) classes you can find implementations in python (also in c++ and tcl). A third option is to go to the source folder of your last downloaded release of VTK; look for the folder "Examples", there you will also find different VTK implementations in python (besides C++ and tcl)
A:
I recommend you use Mayavi and TVTK from Enthought, the API is much pythonic:

It seems he's more addicted to you and terrified of being alone than really "in love". In this case, the best you can do for him and yourself is shut him off completely. If you give him some attention out of pity, it will never be enough. And it would keep feeding him false hopes. So as painful as it can be, now is the time to be objective and block him off for his own good. Maybe in a couple of years you could even be friends, but not now. He has to confront himself with his own monsters, deal with his own issues and he can only do it alone. |
Bullying, harassment guides reviewed
The State Services Commission says it has begun a review of its guidelines on bullying and harassment in the workplace following the resignation of the chief executive of the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority.
Roger Sutton resigned after an investigation upheld complaints from a senior staff member about sexual harassment.
In a statement today, the commission said its review would be incorporated in work being carried out by union the Public Services Association.
Commissioner Iain Rennie has written to all chief executives of government organisations, reminding them of their obligations as good employers and their responsibility to have processes in place to deal with complaints. |
Disclosed in CN1046682 A entitled ‘Rope Climbing Device’ is a rope climbing device, the rope climbing devices are hung in pair on a steel cable, steel rope, rope or slender pole suspended in the air, and by alternate operation of hands and legs, human body is able to ascend or descend along the rope and stay at any location on the rope; this rope climbing device is characterized in that, the device comprises paired groove pulleys that are tightly jointed at their peripheries and capable of rotation in opposite directions, wherein a cam groove, an eccentric channel or a non-isodiametric annular groove is carved on the middle of the periphery of one or two groove pulleys, a hole for consecutive passage of the rope is formed at the tight jointing spot on the periphery of each groove pulley, the size of the hole is variable as the groove pulley is rotated, the device can slide up and down along the rope when the hole becomes larger and can clamp the rope tightly to stay at any specified location without falling when the hole becomes smaller. The rope climbing device has such a shortcoming that: the rope climbing device is a mechanical climbing device that requires matching of human hands and legs and ascends along a rope or a pole based upon human strength, besides, locking between the rope climbing device and the rope or the pole is achieved through hand and leg operations, therefore, inconvenient operation and limited ascending and descending heights are brought, and it is difficult to ensure its safety and reliability. |
It is the first time that the conflict has reached Khartoum in decades of conflict between the country's Arab-dominated rulers and fighters from far-flung regions.
Al-Turabi denies that he has any links to JEM.
Brief detention
Earlier on Monday, Awad Babiker, al-Turabi's private secretary, said he was arrested shortly after the curfew was lifted on Sunday.
Sudan's state television had announced the lifting of the curfew in districts no longer affected by the fighting.
Babiker said that four other members of al-Turabi's Popular Congress Party had been detained.
The government accuses it of having links to JEM.
Mahjoub Fadl, press secretary of Omar al-Bashir, Sudan's president, claimed on Monday that authorities found documents confirming links between leaders of the Popular Congress Party and the JEM attack in Omdurman.
Amr el-Kakhy, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Khartoum, said: "It's well known that al-Turabi was a key partner of President Bashir in the coup that brought them to power in the 1980s.
"Since then, they have had their differences and al-Turabi was jailed. He was released on the condition that he would stay away from political life.
"Whenever something happens, al-Turabi is usually blamed - he is known for his criticism of the government."
Chad shuts border
In a related development, Chad's government announced on Monday that it was closing its eastern border with Sudan.
The move came a day after Sudan broke off diplomatic relations with Chad, accusing its neighbour of involvement in the previous day's attack.
"We are now cutting our diplomatic relations with this regime," al-Bashir had said on state television.
"These forces [behind the attack] are all basically Chadian forces supported and prepared by Chad and they moved from Chad under the leadership of Khalil Ibrahim."
The Chadian government has denied "all involvement".
Clashes persist
On the ground, Sudanese forces continue to hunt for Darfur fighters in Khartoum, where a shooting incident on Monday sent workers fleeing in panic.
Exchanges of fire also could be heard on the outskirts of Omdurman.
An interior ministry official said some fighters were still holed up in parts of Omdurman and a curfew there was extended indefinitely. |
Q:
How to read/write to a file from ActivityThread in android?
I am working my personal project and making some framework changes in Android OS code (AOSP). I want to write/read from a single file before an app is launched. I am making changes in framework/base/core/java/android/app/applications/ActivityThread.java, where it launches activity to run the app.
Each app is launched as a separate process and android expects me to add permission in AndroidManifest.xml, but I am not reading/writing file from the app, I am reading from the framework, before the app is launched.
Is there any way to create a single file which can be used by all users in ActivityThread?
A:
Framework code running in app's process haven't any special privileges. Your need to put such code somewhere in system services.

Lethal altruists: itineraries along the dark outskirts of moralistic prosociality.
Suicide bombers are the most spectacular example of an impregnable morality toward one's own group that co-exists alongside a radical amorality toward members of another group. Suicide bombers carry out massacres with the utter conviction that they are acting in accordance with values associated with the greatest good. Suicidal attacks are conceived as a form of lethal altruism, a damaging drift from human cooperative tendencies and one that requires a detailed understanding. Strong altruism is a main component of a cluster of temperamental traits that may distinguish individuals with propensities to put themselves at the threshold of major progroupal sacrifices. Among all populations there will be pockets of extreme moralizing altruists willing to make high investments in others, investments involving great personal risk. A research framework is outlined to study other constitutionally based traits (dominance, boldness, aggressiveness, machiavellianism, narcissism, messianism, credulity/religiosity) that may also contribute to the different roles played by self-recruited members in combative cells that in turn are crucial for the ties they establish and the tactics employed. Individually oriented research may reveal profiles distinguishing between potential inducers and performers of martyrdom. As a rule, machiavellistic leaders do not usually squander their personal choices on group commitments; on the contrary, their gift for simulating altruism is used for individual gains. Potential martyrs, on the other hand, are by definition squanderers. Evidence accrued in recent years in fields going from behavioral economics to cognitive neuroimaging makes such an endeavor feasible. |
Intermolecular C-N addition of amides and S-N addition of sulfinamides to arynes.
An efficient, mild, transition-metal-free method has been developed for the intermolecular C-N sigma-bond addition of amides and S-N sigma-bond addition of sulfinamides to arynes to form one C-C bond and one heteroatom-carbon bond in one step at room temperature. Evidence for a stepwise mechanism is provided. |
Q:
Rust futures -- join two futures together
I have this code
use futures::Map;
use futures::sink::SendAll;
use futures::sink::SinkFromErr;
use futures::stream::Forward;
use futures::sync::mpsc::Receiver;
use futures::sync::mpsc::Sender;
use futures::{Future, Stream, Sink};
use std::boxed::FnBox;
use tokio_core::reactor::Core;
use websocket::async::futures::stream::SplitSink;
use websocket::async::futures::stream::SplitStream;
use websocket::ClientBuilder;
use websocket;
pub fn main(recv: Receiver<String>, send: Sender<websocket::OwnedMessage>) -> Box<FnBox() -> () + Send> {
Box::new(move || {
let mut core = Core::new().unwrap();
let handle = core.handle();
let f = ClientBuilder::new("wss://...")
.unwrap()
.async_connect(None, &handle)
.from_err::<Error>()
.map(|(duplex, _)| duplex.split())
.and_then(|(sink, stream): (SplitSink<_>, SplitStream<_>)| {
let writer: Map<SendAll<SinkFromErr<SplitSink<_>, _>, _>, _> =
sink
.sink_from_err()
.send_all(recv.map(websocket::OwnedMessage::Text).map_err(Error::Receiver))
.map(|_| ());
// Trying to uncomment these lines:
// let reader =

// .forward(send);
//

// Comment this out:
writer
});
core.run(f).expect("Unable to run");
})
}
quick_error! {
#[derive(Debug)]
pub enum Error {
WebSocket(err: websocket::WebSocketError) {
from()
description("websocket error")
display("WebSocket error: {}", err)
cause(err)
}
Receiver(err: ()) {
description("receiver error")
display("Receiver error")
}
}
}
I added some type annotation for clarity. This version compiles, but I want another future, that reads from the stream (stream) and writes to send. I can't make it compile and I type errors are completely incomprehensible. So my questions are:
How do I make the forward() call compile? (try to enable the commented-out code)
How did you come up with the code that makes this compile? In my experience, futures-heavy code is impossible to write and understand because types are too complex and type errors are incomprehensible.
A:
I needed two map_err calls, one for mapping websocket errors from stream, one for mapping sender errors from send:
pub fn main(recv: Receiver<String>, send: Sender<websocket::OwnedMessage>) -> Box<FnBox() -> () + Send> {
Box::new(move || {
let mut core = Core::new().unwrap();
let handle = core.handle();
let f = ClientBuilder::new("wss://...")
.unwrap()
.async_connect(None, &handle)
.from_err::<Error>()
.map(|(duplex, _)| duplex.split())
.and_then(|(sink, stream): (SplitSink<_>, SplitStream<_>)| {
let writer: Map<SendAll<SinkFromErr<SplitSink<_>, _>, _>, _> =
sink
.sink_from_err()
.send_all(recv.map(websocket::OwnedMessage::Text).map_err(Error::Receiver))
.map(|_| ());
let reader =
stream
.map_err(Error::WebSocket)
.forward(send.sink_map_err(Error::Sender));
reader.join(writer)
});
core.run(f).expect("Unable to run");
})

Neurons with different immunoreactivity form clusters in the CNS of Helix pomatia.
The distribution of serotonin (5HT-ir), FMRF amide (FMRF a-ir), catch-relaxing-peptide (CARP-ir), dopamine (DA-ir), gamma-amino-butyric-acid (GABA-ir), and leucokinin (LK-ir) immunoreactive neurons were compared in the ganglia of Helix CNS. These neurons are not distributed randomly, but their location outlines distinct groups in the ganglia. In a few groups only DA-ir, GABA-ir and LK-ir neurons can be seen, whereas in the majority of groups FMRFa-ir, CARP-ir and 5HT-ir neurons are localized together. In the latter groups of immunoreactive neurons either FMRFa- and CARP- or 5HT- and FMRFa-immunoreactivities coexist in numerous neurons. Immunoreactive groups composed of DA-ir, GABA-ir and LK-ir neurons are localized exclusively in the areas of the origin of skin nerves, suggesting that these neurons are related to the processing of cutaneous afferent information. Other groups constituted by 5HT-ir, FMRFa-ir and CARP-ir neurons are localized first of all in ganglia the neurons of which innervate large masses of muscle fibers. The primary role of these neurons in motor/efferent processes is assumed. |

Q:
Polling vs events pros and cons in JavaScript
I'm bit of a novice to JavaScript so I've been wondering on positive and negative sides of using polling compared to using events in JavaScript? When does one use one or the other?
By polling I consider any effect that is triggered on something that repeats itself usually using setTimeout. But also for example:
function render() {
Bloop.renderComponent(box, document.body);
requestAnimationFrame(render);
}
Is also polling since requestAnimationFrame(render) which is called before each frame is called.
Basically anything that fits this definition
A:
This is a bit of a "which is better, fish or the colour orange" type of question, but in terms of the general behaviour of JavaScript, and particularly the more functional side of it's nature it is probably more idiomatic to use events to react to changes of state than it is to have a timed polling system.
It is a lot more flexible and less confusing to be adding and removing event listeners as your application starts to grow. Polling is easier to conceptualise when you are first imagining everything clocking in to a central location, but as your application gets more complex that is liable to get increasingly difficult to do, whereas events can come from anywhere and go to anywhere so they are much less tightly coupled.
Also when an event is triggered and there is nobody to hear it, nothing happens. If you have a whole lot of timeout based polling loops, you may find that things are happening after the main system crashed as timeouts trigger, which makes debugging the problem or following up any logs more confusing.
Practically if you are animating things, you will probably want to use some degree of polling for your animation loop and events to communicate when to trigger other animations or when interactions occur, so you're likely to want to use both.

Real-time diamagnetic flux measurements on ASDEX Upgrade.
Real-time diamagnetic flux measurements are now available on ASDEX Upgrade. In contrast to the majority of diamagnetic flux measurements on other tokamaks, no analog summation of signals is necessary for measuring the change in toroidal flux or for removing contributions arising from unwanted coupling to the plasma and poloidal field coil currents. To achieve the highest possible sensitivity, the diamagnetic measurement and compensation coil integrators are triggered shortly before plasma initiation when the toroidal field coil current is close to its maximum. In this way, the integration time can be chosen to measure only the small changes in flux due to the presence of plasma. Two identical plasma discharges with positive and negative magnetic field have shown that the alignment error with respect to the plasma current is negligible. The measured diamagnetic flux is compared to that predicted by TRANSP simulations. The poloidal beta inferred from the diamagnetic flux measurement is compared to the values calculated from magnetic equilibrium reconstruction codes. The diamagnetic flux measurement and TRANSP simulation can be used together to estimate the coupled power in discharges with dominant ion cyclotron resonance heating. |

Q:
Skip receiving messages broadcasted by me over wireless network
I have a code which transmits messages (broadcasts) continuously on wireless network and also receives messages continuously. Hence, I have the transmission and receiving happening simultaneously using pthreads. The problem that I am facing is that I want to skip receiving messages sent by me, and only receive the packets/messages sent by others. Is it possible to do this?
Note that this code runs on a wireless modem and not on the laptop. The modem runs using OpenWrt OS.
A:
In general, there is no way to prevent receipt of your own node's messages.
Your best bet is to continue letting it receive its own packets and then ignore any that have your MAC or IP address.

Design and implementation of deformation algorithms for computer assisted orthopedic surgery: application to virtual implant database and preliminary results.
In cranio-maxillofacial and in trauma surgery while making osteosynthesis the surgeons want to reposition bone fractures and make fixation using implants and fixations devices. These devices need to be bent during surgery or prior surgery to fit geometrical boundary conditions defined by the individual anatomy of the patient. In clinical routine, surgeons must frequently repeat several times the "bend and try" process until they get the best fitting. This process often requires up to twenty minutes for a single osteosynthesis plate. A realistic deformation algorithm is then a pre-requisite to a computer-aided planning system which aims to help surgeons to optimally pre-bend the implant in respect to an individual patient bone structure. It has been shown that computer assisted planning system for bendable implant improves the results and operation outcome: shorter operation time, more accuracy, less post-operative implant failure, etc. This paper presents our preliminary results on implementing different types of deformation algorithms in the context of computer assisted orthopedic surgery. |
This invention relates to an image forming apparatus, an image forming method, wherein printing is performed on a recording sheet based on print information, and relates to the recording sheet. Particularly, this invention relates to a recording sheet, provided with a storing medium, an image forming apparatus, and an image forming method wherein such recording sheet can be used.
Recently, a technology has been introduced wherein a storing medium, such as a RFID (radio frequency identification) tag, is provided to a recording sheet. In an image forming apparatus, wherein such recording sheet can be used, an index image, such as a thumbnail, is printed on the recording sheet based on print information, and the print information is stored in the storing medium provided to the recording sheet. In this case, the content of the print information, stored in the storing medium, can be briefly checked by the thumbnail. |

Science has revealed the importance of a good night’s sleep time and time again. From improving your life expectancy to making you a happier person, getting a decent amount of sleep is one of the easiest things you can do to improve your health, both mentally and physically.
You may be wondering how you can go about improving your sleep by a measurable degree. One of the best ways to do this is to ensure that your bed and pillows are up to the task. Sleeping on a bed which is uncomfortable will only make it harder for you to get a good deal of sleep.
While we understand that bedding is not the most affordable of products, you may wish to start saving up so you can ensure that your sleep is as peaceful as possible. Good pillows and a proper mattress are both highly relevant if you want to make sure that you can get as much sleep as possible.
Today, we are going to be taking a look at memory foam pillows. We are going to look at everything about them, from how they are made and the different varieties of these pillows, to the benefits that they offer to improve your sleep. Before we get into details, let’s take a look at some of the basics.
What Is Memory Foam?
You may be wondering what exactly memory foam is. Before we move on in this article, it is important for us to make sure that all of our readers are following along. While we are confident that the vast majority of our readers have heard of memory foam, it is possible that some are not as well-acquainted with it as others.
Memory foam is a type of treated polyurethane, which may not sound very comfortable, but it tends to offer superior comfort when compared to typical bedding materials. The reason for memory foam being so comfortable is because it becomes easy to mold when it is exposed to heat.
Memory foam does not need to be exposed to a large amount of heat to change its shape. For example, the heat which is radiated from your body is enough to ensure that it changes shape with little difficulty. This is one of the main reasons that memory foam makes for such a comfortable bedding material.
What Is A Memory Foam Pillow?
You may be wondering what exactly goes into making a memory foam pillow, now that you know what memory foam is. You will find that a memory foam pillow is exactly what it sounds like; these pillows use memory foam as a primary building material to improve their comfort and quality.
Since they are made out of memory foam, you will find that these pillows have many benefits, both concerning health and enjoyment for the user. There are few reasons why you would not wish to opt for a memory foam pillow instead of a pillow which is made out of a more traditional material.
Brief History
Memory foam was created back in the 1960s by NASA engineers, to create cushions for both spacecraft and aircraft. These engineers were looking to create pillows that were comfortable but could still offer adequate protection in the event of a crash or an accident, and they ended up creating memory foam.
While it took some time for memory foam to become an attractive option for those who would prefer a more comfortable alternative to standard pillows, you will find that their popularity has grown. As memory foam pillows become more and more affordable, you will find that their popularity will keep expanding.
Pillows made out of memory foam used to be rather expensive when compared to your typical pillow varieties, but as manufacturing techniques have improved, so has their cost. You can now find memory foam pillows for the same price as reasonably comfortable traditional pillow types.
Memory Foam Material
As we stated earlier, memory foam is a type of polyurethane, which is a synthetic compound. Unlike the down that fills some other pillows, animals do not have to be harmed to produce memory foam pillows, so they are more friendly towards nature and the birds from which down is harvested.
Keep in mind that memory foam does have a few disadvantages when compared to other materials, but they are usually only applicable in rare circumstances. Some users may have an adverse reaction to memory foam pillows and may end up developing a rash when coming into contact with them.
While a type of allergic reaction to memory foam is highly uncommon, you should simply keep in mind that it is not outside of the realm of possibility. You may wish to try a single pillow before investing in an entire set and finding out that you can’t use memory foam because you react badly to it.
Memory Foam Pillow Vs. Regular Pillow
There are many advantages to memory foam pillows when they are compared to regular pillows. Some of the more crucial advantages concern the health benefits that are offered by these pillows. We will take a closer look at these health benefits later on in this article.
You will find that memory foam pillows are also much more comfortable than regular pillows since they conform to the shape of your head and shoulders. Unlike regular pillows, they do not push your head upwards while you are sleeping. Instead, memory foam pillows accommodate your sleeping style.
If you are not impressed with the comfort of your current pillow, or you have a medical condition which makes it so you can’t sleep on them anymore, memory foam pillows are the best option available. While they may be slightly more pricey, memory foam pillows are not as expensive as they once were.
Types Of Memory Foam Pillows
Shredder Memory Foam Pillow
Memory foam pillows of the shredded variety are the most similar ones to traditional pillows as they share a common design. Imagine a regular pillow which is filled with down but then replace all of the small bits of down in the pillow with shredded up bits of memory foam (hence the term "shredded").
These memory foam pillows have the advantage of less integrity, which some would consider as being more comfortable. If you are looking for a middle ground in between regular pillows and memory foam pillows, you will not find a better option than the shredded variety of memory foam pillows.
Contoured Memory Foam Pillow
This is one of the more standard types of memory foam pillow that people tend to jump to when they think about pillows that are made out of this material. They are made out of one piece of memory foam that is cut out in the size of a regular pillow, with the usual sizing (double, king, queen, etc.)
They are known as contoured memory foam pillows because they feature two ridges on the upper and lower part of the pillow, which leaves a shallow crease in the middle of the pillow for your head. The lower part of the ridge supports your neck which ensures that it remains in line with the rest of your head.
Wedge Memory Foam Pillow
Wedge pillows are used for more than a head rest, unlike the other types of pillows. You will find that these pillows are very versatile. They are known as wedge memory foam pillows because they are quite literally shaped like a wedge. You can sleep on these pillows as if they were regularly shaped, but they have more applications.
For example, you can lie down on these pillows to keep your back propped up so you can read with greater ease. You can also prop up a particular part of your body to aid with injury recovery. There are few better memory foam pillows for medical applications than wedge pillows thanks to this level of versatility.
Traditional Style Memory Foam Pillow
This is the most common type of memory foam pillow as well as the oldest variety. These memory foam pillows are simply a block of memory foam pillow that is cut in the shape of a regular pillow. This type of pillow has largely been superseded by newer varieties because it tends to retain an uncomfortable amount of heat.
These pillows are essentially contoured memory foam pillows without the contours. Since contoured pillows are largely superior, you will find that they have mostly taken the place of traditional memory foam pillows. However, conventional memory foam pillows are more affordable since they are more simply built.
Memory Foam Neck Pillow
As you may have guessed from the name, memory foam neck pillows are designed to support your neck while you sleep. These pillows can feature many different designs and still be considered neck pillows. For example, some memory foam neck pillows are in the form of contoured pillows, and some are available in a wedge shape.
Memory foam neck pillows are the best option if you would like to reduce neck pain after sleeping or if you have recently suffered a neck injury from which you are still recovering. These pillows are often more affordable than other types of memory foam pillows as they can be smaller.
Memory Foam Travel Pillow
You have very likely seen a memory foam travel pillow if you have ever been in an airport or ridden on a plane. They are those pillows that tend to be shaped like donuts and are meant to fit around your neck. These pillows are often confused with memory foam neck pillows due to this.
While memory foam neck pillows are meant to be used in bed to provide better spinal support for your neck, you will find that memory foam travel pillows are intended to provide better comfort in a seat. This makes them ideally suited for plane rides or long journeys by car since they are small enough to fit comfortably in your seat.
Memory Foam Body Pillow
These pillows are meant to support your body, so they can feature many shapes, depending on what part of your body they are made to work with. Most of the time, memory foam body pillows are meant to support a part of your back, so there is a bit of an overlap between these pillows and wedge pillows.
Memory foam body pillows are often a better alternative to investing in a memory foam mattress, which ensures that you will not have to deal with the high price of an entirely new bed. While you can keep your old mattress, you can also enjoy the comfort and body support of memory foam with these pillows.
Health Benefits Of Memory Foam Pillows
Pain Relief
You will find that one of the primary benefits of using memory foam pillows is that they tend to reduce the amount of pain that you experience while you are lying in bed. This pain can be located in any part of your body, but the pain which is most often relieved by these pillows is neck and back pain.
Memory foam pillows help relieve pain because they are far softer than most other types of pillows and because there are pillows which are made specifically to offer support for injured users. Many other pillow types will not account for potential injury in the same way as memory foam pillows.
Spinal Alignment
One of the most important benefits that you get out of memory foam pillows is that they help keep your spine in alignment. When you sleep on regular pillows, your neck is often pushed upwards, which knocks your spine out of alignment and can end up injuring you in the long term or causing discomfort.
Since memory foam pillows mold themselves to your head, they allow you to sleep in a much more natural position. This natural sleeping position will allow you to sleep comfortably while keeping your neck in alignment with the rest of your spine, reducing your risk of sleeping pain and chronic aches.
Hypoallergenic
Memory foam pillows are much more friendly to users with allergies than more traditional pillow types. You will find that most people will not suffer from respiratory allergies when they come into contact with memory foam pillows as they tend to retain less dust and because of the material they are made out of.
While down and other traditional pillow materials can end up causing you respiratory difficulties, there is only a small percentage of the population that has difficulty with memory foam. While shredded memory foam pillows may cause more issues than slab-type pillows, they are still relatively hypoallergenic.
Hygienic
You will also find that memory pillows are superior to regular pillow varieties in the domain of hygiene. These pillows tend to be much easier to clean than regular pillows as they are not enclosed. The longer you use a regular pillow, the more sweat and other dirt will end up seeping through the exterior and into the down.
Since the insides of most memory foam pillows tend to be exposed and washable, you will find that they are much easier to clean off than other pillow types. If you are hoping to ensure that your pillows are as clean as possible, few models do a better job of that than memory foam pillows.
Firmness
Memory foam pillows are available in varying degrees of firmness, much like more traditional pillows. The difference between these two types of pillows when it comes to hardness is the amount of variety that is available. The firmness of regular pillows depends on their material composition.
While traditional pillows offer a relatively small range of firmness, you will find that memory foam pillows have a much larger range of firmness options. This is because the firmness of memory foam pillows can be changed by adjusting the density of the memory foam that they are composed of.
A softer pillow will conform to your head and neck better, and most memory foam pillows tend to be much softer than regular pillow types. For those of us who prefer firmer pillows, all hope is not lost, as there are firmer types of memory foam available for more substantial kinds of pillows.
Support
Support is another aspect which is closely related to firmness. The level of support that you get out of a pillow is directly linked to the degree of firmness that it features, but there are a few other aspects on which support depends. For example, the firmest travel pillow will not offer a good deal of support.
Wedge pillows tend to offer more support than other models simply because they are meant to support certain parts of your body. Body pillows, however, tend to provide the most support, since some of them are made to support the entirety of your body as you sleep (at least in the case of the larger types of body pillows).
Accessories
Pillow Covers
You will find that some memory foam pillows will come with pillow covers. These are not meant to be confused with pillowcases, though they are broadly similar. Pillow covers are necessary with specific types of pillows. For example, a shredded memory foam pillow would simply be a loose pile of memory foam chunks without one.
On other memory foam pillows, particularly the slab varieties (contoured, traditional, etc.) you will find that pillow covers are more optional, but they help when it comes to the matter of hygiene. A pillow cover will stop your pillow from collecting dirt and dust since memory foam is a rather porous material that can attract and hold dirt with ease.
Some pillow covers will be removable, such as the ones which are often used with slab pillows, but the ones which come included with shredded pillows will often be an integral part of the pillow. If you could remove the cover from a shredded pillow, it would be difficult to get all of the memory foam back inside of it.
Memory Foam Pillow Cleaning And Maintenance
How To Clean Memory Foam Pillow
There are many ways to clean your memory foam pillow. If you only need to spot clean your pillow, you can use a rag with detergent and warm water to clean off any parts of the pillow which are dirty. Once this is done, you can leave your pillow to air dry before using it once again.
If your pillow needs to be cleaned more deeply, you will have to submerge it in a bathtub which is filled with warm water and detergent and then use a washcloth to clean off the surface. This will allow you to get most of the embedded dirt out of with ease. Once this is done, squeeze the water out of your pillow and leave it to air dry.
Keep in mind that the density of your memory foam pillow will affect how long it takes for it to dry. You may have to give your pillow up to a full day to dry, so ensure that you have a backup pillow to sleep on during this time period. This may necessitate cleaning your pillows on different days.
How To Repair Memory Foam
Memory foam can be particularly vulnerable to damage due to its construction. This is one of the reasons why pillow covers are getting more and more common, as they make it easier to prevent tearing and other issues.
You will find that memory foam can be repaired many ways, but the most common way to fix memory foam pillows is by using a safe adhesive which is formulated for use with this material. All you have to do is hold the two ripped parts of the pillow together while you spray adhesive between them and then let it dry.

LINQ: join multiple Table Column using Linq and find aggregated sum from child table values
I'm using Linq (code-first approach) query to retrieve the data from DB and couldn't able to get similar result while using below linq query:

Swift downfall or ever-rising?
Since November, there has been a massive turnaround. Fifth in League One, supposedly £2m better off (unless you Ian Dowie)and yet there is still a little bit of uncertainty about the rest of the season. Don't get me wrong, I am a very happy Saddler at the moment, my expectations have been exceeded, but after the departure of Danny Fox and Scott Dann to Coventry you start to ask a few questions. It's all very well cashing in on your best players, but it's only a good thing when you re-invest the money back into the squad - which so far has brought us an nowt (at least one player)! Why?
I'm not going to blabber on about Jeff Bonser this, Jeff Bonser that because he may like to have a tight ruling over the pennies, but we are in a more positive situation than we have been. At least he has been man enough to admit his mistakes over the last few years (not leaving being one of them...damn, it slipped out, I was trying to be impartial!). We have had, allegedly a lot of income from the January Banks's sale with Foxy and Dann the man departing to the Ricoh, however I am yet to see players such as Michael Ricketts become permanent. It's all very well signing players on loan, and as a smaller less fortunate club in a financial sense, we have to. However, when you get some money in, it needs to go back into the playing budget, funding player's of Ricketts mould. Walsall don't do this. We would rather see the opportunity slip through our butter fingers.
Where does this leave the club for the rest of the season? Well, the Play-Offs, as I have already pointed out earlier in the season, are a distinct possibility, especially as we have seen one of the most in-form Saddlers sides in a long while take to the pitch this season. However, will the sales of key players harm those chances? I think it may hinder them a little, but with Ropes entering the frame and we have talent in the wings in the form of Mannie Smith, who gives a stuff? One thing's for sure - we are moving in the right direction. |
Co-host Julie Chen opened the floor to Sharon who, assuming everyone was already in the know, chose to focus on the positive outpouring of love her family has received from their public.
“Jack will actually be here on Wednesday to talk about his diagnosis but um, he’s great, he’s doing really, really good and I want to thank everyone for all their texts and goodwill and love they send to us…”
Julie then made the MS announcement after praising Jack as an amazing and strong man. She then asked Sharon if there was anything else she wanted to add.
“Just thank you to everyone um, for all their good wishes it’s been amazing, um, but for Jack cause I really believe that vibes of prayer help.”
Sharon reeled it in at the end saying that, what she was doing at that moment wasn’t helping (crying), “cause I’m just feeling sorry for myself, and that is no good. So we have to think positive. And move on with the show we all love so much.”
The show must go on, and it did. Wednesday’s line-up that will include Jack and his mother discussing what’s next for him and his family will certainly be something to watch.
While we all have varying opinions on Sharon and her eccentric antics, it’s clear to everyone that she’s a dedicated parent who’s nothing short of crazy about her children.
We admire her strength dealing with her only son's recently discovered chronic disease. Hang in their Sharon, we’ll be sending you some good vibes. |

An islet of ability in autistic children: a research note.
An aspect of cognitive functioning in autistic children was investigated by comparing their performance on the Children's Embedded Figures Test with that of MA-matched normal and MA- and CA-matched mentally retarded non-autistic children. The autistic children were significantly more competent at this task than either group of control children, and also showed qualitatively different strategies. Since the performance of the autistic children was better than predicted from MA and commensurate with CA, it can be regarded as an islet of ability. This finding is discussed in terms of orientation and visualization factors involved in visuo-spatial abilities and is also related to cognitive deficit. |
Another lone wolf truck attack.
On Friday morning a terrorist, likely Islamic, ran down innocent pedestrians in the street and then rammed into a department store. The driver then disappeared down the street.
The New York Times blamed the truck.
It was just another random truck attack…. |
