IRELAND HAS THE highest rates of citizenship granted, proportionately, in comparison to any other EU state.

The latest Eurostat figures show that when compared with the total population of each member state, Ireland has the highest rate of 5.3 citizenships granted per 1000 resident population.

This is followed by Sweden (5.2), Spain (4.8) and Luxembourg (4.7).

On average, 1.9 citizenships were granted per 1000 inhabitants in the EU.

New citizens

The total number granted citizenship in Ireland in 2013 was 24,262 people.

In 12 EU countries, including Ireland, at least nine persons out of every 10 who obtained citizenship in 2013 were citizens of a non-EU country.

93% of those granted citizenship in Ireland were non-EU citizens, with 7% coming from other EU member states.

Source: Eurostat

At EU level, 89% (or 871,300 new citizens) of those granted citizenship were citizens of a non-EU country, and 10% (98,500) of another EU Member State.

In total, EU member states granted citizenship to almost one million people in 2013.

Countries

Moroccans, Indians, Turks, Colombians, Albanians and Ecuadorians represented together almost a third (31%) of the total number of persons who acquired EU citizenship in 2013.

The two largest groups of EU citizens acquiring citizenship of another EU member state were Romanians, 23,000, and Poles, 18,000.


Q:

Script_sig for coinbase transaction afbff1130b6fcbdceebbadfc48a842af1f03ee08a79e042b37fc467518b49a0f

I am currently developing a blockchain parser in Python, and it has been crashing in the file blk00006.dat for the coinbase transaction with the hash afbff1130b6fcbdceebbadfc48a842af1f03ee08a79e042b37fc467518b49a0f in the block 0000000000000a46714e1b03e5e0693e9ecaa3ec1853f1cdf34e9ca52e13f1ff. The reason it was crashing is because it has an OP_PUSHDATA2 in the script signature with a value of 28265. However, there are only 21 bytes left to read according to the size of the script.
I fixed my code to avoid crashing in this script, but I am still curious about how this script_signature got accepted by the network.

A:

Scripts are not parsed. From the protocol perspective they are byte arrays, and their contents is irrelevant for transaction deserialization.
Scripts are executed however, at the time they participate in spending. For outputs, that is when they are (attempted to be) spent. For non-coinbase inputs, that is immediately. Coinbases never participate in spending, so for almost(*) all purposes, they are just byte arrays.
(*) There are two partial exceptions to this. BIP34 requires the coinbase to start with a push of the block height. The 80000 vsigops limit also counts CHECKSIG operations in coinbases (treating them as scripts, but it stops counting at the first invalid opcode).


PLUM, PA - A man was shot in an apparent domestic incident Thursday morning on Deborah Jane Drive. He was taken to the hospital and reportedly is in critical condition.

The shooting prompted the Plum School District to go into a shelter in place status for several hours in which no visitors were allowed to enter district buildings.

Allegheny County police are investigating the incident. They have not revealed whether anyone has been taken into custody.


The invention concerns a catalyst for hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons.
A method for catalytic hydrogenation of acetylenic compounds with 2 or 3 carbon atoms to the corresponding olefin compounds is known from EP-A-0 686 615, in which a supported catalyst in the form of spheres or extrudate is used, containing palladium and silver. At least 80% of the palladium and at least 60% of the silver are located close to the surface of the catalyst. The catalyst preferably contains aluminum oxide as a support and 0.01 to 0.5 wt. % palladium and 0.001 to 0.002 wt. % silver. Because of the form of the support, the activity and selectivity, in relation to the weight, are relatively low. Only a relatively low space velocity can be used with this catalyst and the pressure drop is relatively high.
A catalyst, containing Pd and Ag for selective hydrogenation of acetylene, is known from EP-A-0 689 872. The catalyst is produced by treating a support material (preferably aluminum oxide) in the form of spheres or cylindrical pellets, with an alkaline solution of reducing agent for Pd and Ag.
A supported catalyst for diolefin hydrogenation, containing palladium, silver and an alkali fluoride is known from EP-A-0 693 315. Spherical pellets or cylindrical extrudates are preferably used as support.
A catalyst for hydrogenation of C2 to C10 alkynes, preferably acetylene, to the corresponding alkenes in the presence of sulfur compounds is known from EP-A-0 738 540, which contains palladium, silver, at least one chemically bonded alkali metal (preferably K), chemically bonded fluorine and an inorganic support (preferably aluminum oxide) in the form of pellets.
EP-A-0 732 146 describes catalysts, whose supports represent molded bodies with a trilobal cross section and through openings. The catalysts contain iron oxide-molybdenum. oxide compounds as catalytically active components. The catalysts are used specifically for oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde, although some other applications not demonstrated by examples are stated (for example, hydrogenation of acetylene and olefins).
EP-A-464 633 describes catalysts, whose support represents molded bodies with a trilobal cross section and continuous openings (cf. FIG. 5). The catalysts contain a mixture of elements of groups VIII and 1B of the Periodic Table, especially palladium and gold, as the catalytically active components. They are used for conversion of olefins with organic carboxylic acids and oxygen to unsaturated esters, especially for production of vinyl acetate from ethylene and acetic acid.
EP-B-591 572 describes a catalytic material in the form of particles with a trilobal cross section and at least three continuous pore openings, as well as a specific ratio between height of the particles and spacing between the axes of the holes. This material is used for oxidative dehydrogenation of methanol to produce formaldehyde.
Catalysts for selective hydrogenation of diolefins and alkynes to mono-olefins and alkenes are also marketed by the applicant under the names G-58 and G-83, which contain palladium and silver on a spherical support or on a support in the form of solid pellets or extrudates (cf. data sheets “Girdler Catalysts G-58 C, G-58 D, G-58 H, G-58 I and G-83 for Selective Hydrogenation”, from January 1998).
Catalysts on such supports generally have the drawback that their activities and selectivities are relatively low and hydrogenation reactions can only be run at relatively low space velocities. These catalysts also have relatively high flow resistance.
The task underlying the present invention is to eliminate these shortcomings. It was surprisingly found that these shortcomings could be eliminated by using a catalyst whose support has a specific shape.
The object of the invention is therefore a catalyst for hydrogenation of unsaturated hydrocarbons, containing catalytically effective amounts of Pd and optionally Ag on a support. The catalyst is characterized by the fact that the support represents a shaped body with a trilobal cross section, in which the lobes are provided with through openings.


1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a spot film device suitable for use with the radiographic system and having a grid for absorbing X-rays scattered from an object who is under radiographic process, and a grid carrier device for carrying or moving the grid between radiographic and parking positions.
2. Description of the Related Art
In the case of the spot film device for the radiographic system, object 2 to be examined is radiated with X-rays emitted from X-ray tube 1 and those X-rays penetrated through object 2 are transferred onto film 3 as an X-ray image of object 2, as shown in FIG. 1.
When object 2 is radiated with X-rays, X-ray scatter is caused from inside object 2 in addition to those effective X-ray components which include information on the X-ray image of object 2. When this X-ray scatter enters into film 3, film 3 is exposed to blur the X-ray image of object 2 on film 3. Grid 4 for absorbing this X-ray scatter is thus arranged above film 3. Grid 4 includes a plurality of lead foils 5 arranged side by side (or 40-60 lead foils per centimeter) and a plurality of interspacers 6 between these lead foils 5 through which X-rays can pass. Effective X-ray components are emitted in a certain direction, but X-rays scattered are emitted in various directions. When grid 4 is used, therefore, X-ray scattered can be absorbed by lead foils 5 and thus prevented from entering into film 3. This can prevent the X-ray image of object 2 from being blurred. On the other hand, effective X-ray components are allowed to pass through interspacers 6 to enter into film 3.
When the object is a pregnant lady or an infant, the amount of X-ray used is comparatively small. When the grid is used, however, effective X-ray components are more or less absorbed by the grid and the amount of effective X-ray components entering into the film becomes smaller not to display the X-ray image of the object on the film. Therefore, the grid is not used in this case. When the object is a grownup, the amount of X-ray used is comparatively large. Therefore, the grid is used.
When the grid is used, it happens sometimes that images (or shadows) of lead foils are projected on the film to appear as a mesh pattern thereon. The grid is thus shaken to prevent the mesh pattern from being transferred onto the film. When bones of a human body is to be radiographed, however, it is said there is no trouble even if the mesh pattern is transferred onto the film. Therefore, the grid is used but not shaken in this case.
As apparent from the above, there are cases where (1) the grid in not used, (2) the grid is used and oscillated, and (3) the grid is used but not oscillated.
In order to meet all of these cases, therefore, the spot film device is provided with the grid carrier device for moving the grid between radiographic and parking positions as well as shaking the grid when it is at the radiographic position. The radiographic position represents where the grid is positioned when it is used and the parking position denotes where the grid is positioned when it is not used.
In the case of the conventional grid carrier device, the grid is supported on the grid support frame such that the grid can oscillate. In other words, the grid is supported by one ends of plate springs, and the other ends of the plate springs are connected to the grid support frame. The grid support frame is connected to an endless belt and when this belt is rotated, the grid support frame is moved or carried between the radiographic and parking positions. When the grid support frame has reached the radiographic position, an electromagnet attached to the frame is excited to draw an iron piece attached to the grid and then demagnetized to release the iron piece. The grid is thus freely oscillated by the plate spring.
However, the free oscillating of the plate spring is damped as time goes by. The oscillating of the grid is thus damped accordingly and sometimes stopped in the worst case. This means that the grid is not reliably shaken over a certain range. In short, the conventional grid carrier system has low reliability in oscillating the grid.
Further, the grid support frame is moved by one means and the grid is shaken by another means in the case of the conventional grid carrier system. Namely, one means is the belt and another means is the electromagnet different from the belt. This causes the conventional grid carrier system to be made comparatively complicated in construction.

Dual Loyalty and the Israel Lobby

A historical perspective of American Jewish allegiance.

This article is excerpted from a longer piece by the author in response a 2006 Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) event, "The Israel Lobby and the U.S.
Response to the War in Lebanon." The event featured two political scientists, John J. Mearsheimer, a professor at the University of Chicago, and Stephen M. Walt, a professor at Harvard and former academic dean of the university's Kennedy School of Government. Prior that year they published a working paper on the Kennedy's school's website "The Israel Lobby," in which they argue that "the United States has a terrorism problem in good part because it is so closely allied with Israel."

American Jewry and Israel

As a pluralistic society, the United States has long wrestled with the issue posed by the foreign ties of its citizens--the issue, in short, of dual or divided loyalty. In the realm of foreign policy in particular, there has been a perennial fear that domestic interest groups will distort American priorities. In his Farewell Address, George Washington warned against "[s]ympathy for the favorite [foreign] nation facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest where no real common interest exists."

Even though the United States has proved over two centuries to be a great engine of assimilation, such fears are not ipso facto illegitimate. Today, the political scientist Samuel Huntington has again worried about a weakening of America’s national identity through an upsurge of seemingly unassimilable elements. Latin American immigrants, particularly from Mexico, may be leading us, Huntington writes, toward a "demographic 'reconquista' of areas Americans took from Mexico by force in the 1830's and 1840's." He points to data suggesting that Muslims, too, particularly Arab Muslims, “seem slow to assimilate compared to earlier groups" and, in one study of attitudes in Los Angeles, "do not have close ties or loyalty to the United States."

Where do American Jews, an assimilated ethnic group par excellence, fit in this picture? It is undeniable that a considerable number--the proportion in polls hovers around 75 percent--feel a strong or very strong emotional pull toward Israel. Some are drawn by the significance, after millennia of exile, of a great return to the heartland of the Jewish religion and nation; others by gratitude for the existence of a secure refuge in the wake of the Nazi cataclysm; others by simple kinship with relatives living in the Jewish state; still others by the historical-religious-cultural bond that links all Jews everywhere into a single community.

Does this pull differ in kind from that which Armenian-Americans feel toward Armenia, or Filipino-Americans toward the Philippines? Does it differ from the pull--if that is the right word--that Catholics feel toward the Vatican or Muslims toward Mecca and Medina and their co-religionists abroad? It would hardly seem so. Virtually all American citizens carry bundles of loyalties, some of them sometimes in conflict with each other, others not. The Chinese-American novelist Lan Samantha Chang, writing in the middle of the Wen Ho Lee espionage affair, quoted her father: "I love China. . . . But I am a citizen of the United States." Funeraria Latina, an American subsidiary of Service Corporation International, ships 80 percent of its Hispanic cadavers out of the United States for burial abroad. When Jerold S. Auerbach, a professor at Wellesley College, says that "my body is in the United States; my heart and soul are in Jerusalem," he is thus giving voice to a wholly American sentiment.


School for parents and teachers: The collective art of raising a child.

Thursday, 21 March 2019 13:37

The Formentera Council's education department unveiled today the 2019 programme of “School for parents and teachers: The collective art of raising a child”. The programme covers three informational talks for parents and teachers that will take place between next Tuesday March 6 and Thursday May 2.

The initiative is about creating places of learning and exchange between families and educators. The idea, says education and culture councillor Susana Labrador, “is to come up with common learning space where everyone has a voice—that's where the organising efforts of the CiF education office, the Federation of Formentera Parents Associations (FAPA) and the CEP teacher training centre come in”.

The three conferences will start at 6.00pm in the Sala d'Actes, next to the Sant Francesc library.

New round of Catalan classes for adults

Tuesday, 05 March 2019 13:46

The Formentera Council's “Language Advisory Service” (Servei d'Assessorament Lingüístic, SAL) reports that tomorrow March 6 enrolment begins for the second round of adult education Catalan language courses. Registration, which continues through March 15, is free and can be handled in person at the OAC or online via the OVAC website.

Organised by the SAL, the course offering includes two groups at a range of levels: A2 (morning and evening), B1 (morning and evening), B2 (morning and evening) and C1/C2 (morning and afternoon).

The instruction is aimed at preparing students for the official exams that are being organised by the Govern balear's directorate general of language policies for this May.

Classes start March 18 and 19. The morning groups will meet at the adult learning centre, or Escola d'Adults, and the afternoon groups at IES Marc Ferrer.

Two Formentera pupils named finalists in water work's Digital Kids' Contest

Wednesday, 28 November 2018 15:44

The environment and education offices of the Formentera Council announce that Munay Guzmán Westcott, a pupil of CEIP Mestre Lluís Andreu, Stefan Cionabu Alexandru, who attends CEIP Sant Ferran de ses Roques, have been selected by Aquàlia in the water work's Digital Kids' Contest (Concurs Digital Infantil) as part of World Water Day.

CiF secretaries of environment and education Daisee Aguilera and Susana Labrador were joined by Maria del Mar Yern, the head of Aqualia’s municipal water service, in giving the children their prizes.

The young students' contributions were picked from more than eight thousand across Spain and Portugal.

This year's subtitle—“the stirring journey of water”—serves to remind youngsters of the hard work home water service requires. Pupils visited www.aiguaperagrifus.cat for videos, comics, activities and other educational material for the project, which was open to year three and four primary school students in areas Aquàlia operates.

As prizes were handed out, Daisee Aguilera offered “initiatives like this put Formentera youth in the position to see just what it takes to get water to their taps—all the parts of the water cycle—so that we're truly grasping the importance of this resource around the world, and at the same time learning how to be more responsible in how we consume it”.

Del Mar Yern, for her part, applauded the children's participation and praised the cooperation of the Council, schools and teachers.

Elàstic Nou, the theatre company behind the educational initiative, say the premise of Millie Porter —combining homemade storytelling with an actress from an English background— is all about getting kids interested in the language.

The show's wild dynamism creates a setting in which participants are in near constant interactive engagement. Through words, songs and games, Millie takes children on a journey they aren't likely to forget.

CEIP Mestre Lluís Andreu salutes victims of gender violence

Friday, 23 November 2018 17:02

This Friday the teaching staff and student body of CEIP Mestre Lluís Andreu will host a special tribute event to honour the women and children claimed by gender violence in 2018.

CiF culture secretary Susana Labrador was joined by school director Neus Masdeu and Espai Dones chairwoman Dolores Tamargo in launching an appeal to the 450 pupils in the crowd to do their part to jettison gender violence, emphasising the importance of more equitable education if future generations are to achieve the goal.

Picking up where the adults left off, the children in the crowd chimed in with their own performance of Aitana's “Ets la força”, showing off posters and other craftwork inspired by the struggle to end violence.

Local observance of International Day for the Elimination of Violence this Sunday November 25 comes with an entire morning of activities. Volunteers will staff an information booth in Sant Francesc's plaça de la Constitució from 11.00am. At noon the students of the Eivissa-Formentera conservatory will give a concert and then a flash mob will dance to Rosalia's “Malamente”. At 1.00pm, the crowd will hear voices calling for the erasure of gender violence as part of a reading of the day's manifesto. Capping the day's programme, the film Custodia compartida will be shown in the cinema (Sala de Cultura).


Mission accomplished for BHS cross country at DSL Finals

VICTORVILLE — In its final season in the Desert Sky League, the Burroughs cross country team accomplished everything it set out to at the beginning of the year. The Burros completed their season objectives at the DSL Finals on Wednesday at Victor Valley College, with the boys winning the league title and the girls coming in second."This entire season has been a dream come true," Burros head coach Anthony Barnes said. "The kids stuck with the program and it paid off."After the Burroughs boys team and raced closely with Granite Hills in the two league cluster meets, the Burros delivered a comfortable result in the finals to win a first-ever league championship. The Burros beat the Cougars 37-49, ending their four-year reign atop the league."Execution was the key today — we ran as a team," Barnes said. "Having a week and a half off made us hungry again to pull it off. The team focused and worked on a couple of things, including starts, running more as a pack from the get-go and being more aggressive."Josh Boston led the way for Burroughs, winning the race with a time of 15:53 to defend his individual league championship. Boston finished 11 seconds faster than the next runner despite racing while sick."Josh just had more desire than the next guy," Barnes said. "With about a half-mile to go he was 50 yards behind, and he ended winning the race by more than 50 meters. He told me when he came in, 'I wasn't going to lose it — I wasn't going to give up my championship.'"Christian Schultz was the second fastest runner for Burroughs, racing to a fourth-place finish with a time of 16:42. Greg Ostrom came in seventh, completing the three-mile course in 17:20.Burroughs' final four runners helped the team comfortably secure the league championship. Nathaniel Aralar (17:38), Alex Salinas (17:46), Andrew Estabridis (17:47) and Alan Bradford (17:59) finished in 12th through 15th place — and each finished ahead of Granite Hills' fourth and fifth runners."We put seven guys in front of Granite Hills' fourth runner, so it was pretty much a slam dunk at that point," Barnes said. "For the seniors, it's the culmination of sticking together as a group and as a team. It's a great payoff for that commitment and dedication over the years."The Burroughs' girls team finished second at the DSL finals to secure a second-place finish in league. Granite Hills won the league championship with a dominant performance — the Cougars had seven of the top eight finishers."For the first time in two months, we actually lined up seven girls and finished with seven girls — that was a positive," Barnes said.The only runner to break up Granite Hills' stronghold at the top was Burroughs' Maryah Marcano, who finished second with a Burros' course-record time of 18:56. Only the Cougars' Katie Deimling finished ahead of Marcano."There was a very solid group of Granite Hills girls behind her, and they weren't able to close up the gap for second place," Barnes said. "She continues to go out there and keep trying it until it works and she beats (Deimling). In the process of doing that, she is leaving everybody else behind."Seven racers competed in the race for the Burros, who raced earlier in the season with the minimum requirement of five runners. Julia Ernst (ninth, 21:41), Anne Ewbank (10th, 22:03), Marin Carey (12th, 23:00) and Cindel Barnes (25th, 27:01) rounded out the top-five for Burroughs. Rawiah Osman (27th, 27:53) and Jenna Daugherty (28th, 28:52) also raced for Burroughs. With the regular season completed, Burroughs now looks to the postseason. Next up for the Burros are CIF Prelims on Saturday, Nov. 16 at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut.

A leading crypto exchange, Kraken, has just released its latest report on the upcoming Bitcoin halving in May 2020.

According to the report, history showed a trend of bull runs happening around halving events. It was noted that, the 2 past halvings demonstrated a 2-year uptrend in BTC price, starting from 12 to 18 months prior to the halving. This was then followed by a roughly 80% peak-to-trough downtrend.

After the halving event, Bitcoin is going to witness a 50% reduction in supply. Provided the BTC price continues to trade around $9,300, the report estimated that global mining was going to lose $3.1 billion in annual revenue after the halving.

The report stated that, the May halving would reduce annual supply inflation from a rate of 3.7% to 1.8%. It also said the Bitcoin’s code prescribes a down-trending inflation rate until total supply approaches 21 million BTC in the year 2140. Adding that, 99% bitcoin’s supply will however be minted by 2032.

Meanwhile, contrary to Kraken’s report, Binance CEO, Changpeng Zhao recently said the upcoming halving should have a couple of different impacts. Historically, Zhao claims the bitcoin community have seen the halving impact positively on the coin’s price. Adding that, historic events do not necessarily predict future events so the community shouldn’t take that too literally.

Re: Zone Alarm blocking Sophos Updates

Sorry, typing in a hurry. The update server was on a separate network segment, not the internet (like I thought it was). The request came across on port 139 and was showing as such in the log-- that helped me identify where Sophos was going to get it's updates. I added that segment to the trusted zone and it allowed access on port 139. Hopefully that's a little more clear. Sorry, when I try to type things to fast, to avoid too much time on the internet, they don't come out like they should.

The Bharatiya Janata Party is planning greater organizational role to its relatively younger leaders in districts and state bodies through internal elections that will kick off next month, two BJP leaders said.

The idea is to give reins of the state units to leaders who are 55 or less, and put even younger leaders in charge of the district and units below that.

The BJP on Saturday appointed Sanjay Jaiswal (53) and Satish Poonia (55) as its president in Bihar and Rajasthan. Swatantra Dev Singh who took over as UP BJP chief in July is also 55. Karnataka too got Nalin Kumar Kateel (52) as the new president in August.

“We feel this is the time for a generational change in the party,” said a BJP general secretary on condition of anonymity. “The leadership issue is settled in the party, and younger leaders who get an opportunity today can be groomed for bigger roles in next 15 years.”

This strategy will also have its reflection in the team of national office bearers when it is constituted after the election of Jagat Prakash Nadda as the party president by year end.

“The RSS is also going through a similar change and leaders in the age group of 50-55 are getting promotion over those who are older to them. There is a general admission within the Sangh parivar and its affiliates that a new and young leadership needs to be promoted for next 15-20 years,” the second BJP leader quoted in the story said.

There can be certain exception, but the general idea is to have leaders in the age bracket of 50-55 years in leadership roles, this leader said.

In July, the RSS and the BJP chose 53-year-old BL Santosh over senior pracharaks such as Saudan Singh and V Satish for the post of the organisational secretary. This post if reserved for RSS leaders loaned to the BJP, and is responsible for the organsiational matters of the party.

The BJP is currently holding a verification of its membership base, and the organisational elections will start from next month. The BJP team at booth, mandal and state levels will chosen between October and November, before the election of the national president in December last or early January.

There will be change of leadership in some other states and younger faces will replace existing president, the first leader said. “The idea behind younger presidents is also to influence a new energy into the party, particularly in states where the BJP sees an opportunity to grow,” this leader said.

Prevention of non-specific interactions of gold-labeled reagents on tissue sections.
The protein A-gold technique is amongst the most useful labeling techniques available for light and electron microscopic immunolabeling. Some electron microscopic studies, however, have suggested that protein A-gold, and other protein-gold complexes as well, may bind non-specifically to certain tissue structures, particularly in skin, creating a specious pattern of labeling. We utilized the protein A-gold technique with antiserum to both involucrin and keratin under a variety of conditions to document the specificity of labeling. When the standard conditions were followed, the protein A-gold technique produces highly specific results. These conditions include: 1. the blocking of unreacted aldehyde groups by amination; 2. the blocking of non-specific binding sites on tissue sections by preincubation with inert proteins; and 3. the use of proper concentration of the protein A-gold complex. However, non-specific labeling could be produced if the three components of the standard protocol were omitted. In particular, the use of too concentrated protein A-gold lead to non-specific labeling.

Clarifying:
I still haven't heard from anyone that this solves a general problem
that is widespread. The only actual example has always been CLDR, and
its decision to ship these code points in XML. Shipping these code
points in files was pretty far down the list of "what not to do" when
they were originally adopted. My view continues to be that this is was a
questionable design decision by CLDR, given what was on the record. The
reaction of several outside implementers during this discussion makes
clear that viewing that design as problematic is not just my personal view.
Usually, if there's a discrepancy between an implementation and Unicode,
the reaction is not to retract conformance language. I think arriving at
this decision was easier for the UTC, because CLDR is not a random,
unrelated implementation. And, as in any group, it's perhaps easier to
not be as keenly aware of the impact on external implementations.
So, I'd like to clarify, that this is the sense in which I meant
"special favor", and which therefore is not the most felicitous
expression to describe what I had in mind.

Children of cancer patients: prevalence and predictors of emotional and behavioral problems.
Children of patients with cancer are at increased risk for developing emotional and behavioral problems. This study explored the prevalence and predictors of emotional and behavioral problems in Children of cancer patients in a multisite research project. A cross-sectional sample of N = 235 families was recruited simultaneously in 5 university medical centers. The participants, including parents (N = 402) and children (N = 324; ages 11-21 years) completed standardized questionnaires. Emotional and behavioral problems in children were measured by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). On the basis of previous research and using a mixed-model approach, child-, parent-, family- and cancer-related variables were examined in addition to socioeconomic status as potential predictors. Descriptive statistics and a multiple random coefficient model were used in the analyses. Compared to norms, Children of cancer patients show increased mean levels of emotional and behavioral symptoms. The best predictor of emotional and behavioral problems from the perspectives of the child, the healthy parent, and the ill parent was general family dysfunction. Although family dysfunction was identified as the main predictor, the analysis revealed that the main part of variance was related to the individual child's level. The results indicate that screening for child mental health problems and family dysfunction in oncological and psychosocial treatment units can identify the families most in need of psychosocial support. Psychological services need to be both family-oriented and child-centered and focus on family dysfunction to prevent mental health problems in children.


Q:

ReactJS: Problem with rendering component state

I'm new to React and trying to set up a form which upon hitting submit, should set the component state equal to the user entry so that I can store it and reference it elsewhere. This works as the console logs the correct string after submitting. However I run into trouble when trying to display this state on screen.
I've tried passing the state as a prop to a child component and have it rendered there, but I run into the same error.
import React from 'react';
var hasSetMainGoal = false;

class LearningGoals extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);

        this.state = {
                maingoal: ''
        };

        this.handleInput = this.handleInput.bind(this);
        this.updateMainGoal = this.updateMainGoal.bind(this);
    }

    handleInput(e) {
        this.setState({ maingoal: e.target.value });
    }

    updateMainGoal = ({ target }) => {
        this.setState({ maingoal: target});
        console.log('My main goal is ' + this.state.maingoal);
        hasSetMainGoal = true;

    }

    render() {

        if (!hasSetMainGoal) {
        return (

                        What is your main learning goal?

                        <input type='text' id='mainGoal' className='formFieldInput'
                        placeholder='' name='maingoal' value={this.state.value} onChange={this.handleInput} />

                        <button onClick={this.updateMainGoal}>Submit</button>

        );
        }
        else if (hasSetMainGoal) {

            return (

My main goal is {this.state.maingoal}

            );
        }
    }
}

export default LearningGoals;

I would want to have {this.state.maingoal} displayed on screen, but instead I get the following error:

react-dom.development.js:57 Uncaught Invariant Violation: Objects are not valid as a React child (found: [object HTMLButtonElement]). If you meant to render a collection of children, use an array instead.
      in h1 (at SetGoals.js:55)
      in div (at SetGoals.js:54)

A:

Why you are getting this error
Your problem is in here, where you set the state to target but target is an object.
updateMainGoal = ({ target }) => {
    //                        target is an object
    this.setState({ maingoal: target});
    console.log('My main goal is ' + this.state.maingoal);
    hasSetMainGoal = true;
}

And when you try to render it, it fails because you can't render objects.
else if (hasSetMainGoal) {

    return (

My main goal is {this.state.maingoal}

    );
}

And if you look at the error

Objects are not valid as a React child (found: [object HTMLButtonElement])

[object HTMLButtonElement] is the target of this.setState({ maingoal: target})
How to solve it
You shouldn't be doing this.setState({ maingoal: target}); in updateMainGoal. Your state is already up to date when the user types in the input and handleInput sets the state for you.
What you should do is keep hasSetMainGoal in the state and set that when you click the button.
Here is the full component code
import React from 'react';

class LearningGoals extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);

        this.state = {
                maingoal: '',
                hasSetMainGoal: false
        };

        this.handleInput = this.handleInput.bind(this);
        this.updateMainGoal = this.updateMainGoal.bind(this);
    }

    handleInput(e) {
        this.setState({ maingoal: e.target.value });
    }

    updateMainGoal = () => {
        this.setState({ hasSetMainGoal : true});
        console.log('My main goal is ' + this.state.maingoal);
    }

    render() {

        if (!this.state.hasSetMainGoal) {
        return (

                        What is your main learning goal?

                        <input type='text' id='mainGoal' className='formFieldInput'
                        placeholder='' name='maingoal' value={this.state.value} onChange={this.handleInput} />

                        <button onClick={this.updateMainGoal}>Submit</button>

        );
        }
        else {

            return (

My main goal is {this.state.maingoal}

            );
        }
    }

Liverpool renew shirt sponsorship deal

The bank signed up as Liverpool's main sponsor in July 2010, and its logo has been on the team shirt for five seasons.

The financial terms of the agreement remain confidential but British media have reported that the current deal is worth about 20 million pounds ($29.83 million) a season.

“This extension further demonstrates the great strength of our long-term relationship and the success of our partnership with Standard Chartered,” Liverpool's Chief Commercial Officer Billy Hogan said on the club's website (www.liverpoolfc.com).

“The sponsorship of the Liverpool shirt is extremely prestigious and only five brands will have adorned the shirt in the 40 years since we created the sponsorship opportunity.”

Peter Sands, Standard Chartered's group chief executive, said: “Liverpool Football Club is a fantastic club and hugely popular across our global footprint.

“We are very pleased to be able to continue this collaboration, and look forward to what we can achieve together in the future.” -Reuters

Q:

Git diff with -m

I've a merge conflict, and when I do a git diff I'm shown diff in combined format. The documentation for git help diff, where it explains the combined diff format, it's mentioned that I could use -m with any of the diff commands. But git diff wouldn't take a -m option. git help diff-tree however documents -m option.
I'm trying to look at diffs of the file between each merge parent, one at a time, potentially using the -m switch. Yes, I could use commands like git diff :{1,2}:/path/to/file or git diff :{1,3}:/path/to/file, but given a combined diff output, how do I use the -m switch?

A:

To clarify my own question: the -m flag to git diff or git show, when applied to a merge commit, individually lists how that merge commit differs from each of its parent, one by one.
Say, if you've a layout as below:
--X--A--,
         \
  --X--B--M--
         /
--X--C--'

git show -m M concatenates outputs of git diff A M, then git diff B M and git diff C M. git show M shows the diff information, but in a combined diff format. The -m flag is also useful in cases where git omits diff output completely


Automated melanoma recognition.
A system for the computerized analysis of images obtained from ELM has been developed to enhance the early recognition of malignant melanoma. As an initial step, the binary mask of the skin lesion is determined by several basic segmentation algorithms together with a fusion strategy. A set of features containing shape and radiometric features as well as local and global parameters is calculated to describe the malignancy of a lesion. Significant features are then selected from this set by application of statistical feature subset selection methods. The final kNN classification delivers a sensitivity of 87% with a specificity of 92%.


Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys

Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys, also known as Tunbridge Wells Boys' Grammar School, TWGSB or "Tech", is a community grammar school located in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England.

Founded as a technical school in 1956, TWGSB became a grammar school in 1982. It is a state school, and one of the largest of the remaining grammar schools in England. It is currently (2019) ranked 265th out of 3166 registered state schools in England.

The school has over 1,200 pupils ranging from 11 to 18 years of age, and more than 100 staff members. Entrance is selective, with pupils falling within the top thirty per cent band of ability upon entrance. Prospective students are required to take the 11-plus to gain a place.

Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys has a mixed sixth form. A minimum of 48 points across all GCSE's and a 5 in English Language and Maths is required and although priority for places is given to TWGSB students, the school welcomes applications from both boys and girls from other schools.

Headteacher, John Harrison retired in December 2016 after 10 years at the helm. Simon Marsh became acting headteacher and was followed as headteacher by the appointment of Amanda Simpson.

Academic standards
The school offers a broad range of subjects right through to A2-level. Seventy five to eighty five per cent of pupils remain at the school and study A-levels after taking GCSEs.

TWGSB became a Humanities College in September 2007. This meant that the school received additional funding from central government for three different areas:
 A one-off amount to support a Capital Project.
 Additional recurring funding based on the number of pupils to support in school developments.
 Additional recurring funding based on the number of pupils to support community developments.

Following their inspection on 30 April – 1 May 2008, Ofsted rated the school's overall effectiveness as Good, Grade 2 on a four-point scale. The effectiveness of the sixth form was also rated as Good. In their report Ofsted said "This is a good and improving school; it is well led and provides students with good standards of education, guidance and care.... Students make good progress from their starting points to achieve high standards. ... Teaching is good overall and sometimes outstanding... but there is more work to do in developing a common approach so that best practice is shared in a systematic way... an effective and hard-working senior leadership team.... There is variation in the quality of leadership at some levels; this is evident in the unevenness of students' performance across subjects, particularly at Key Stage 4 and in the sixth form."

School identity
The school's Latin motto, Faber est quisque suæ fortunæ, means "Every man is the maker of his own fortune". The school has a strict uniform policy, which involves the use of a "uniform and conduct card". Students are required to have this card with them at all times. However this is mainly prevalent in the lower years, from Year 9 onwards rarely being used by teachers or students. Every time the student violates the code of conduct, the card is signed by a member of staff (or sixth form). In theory failure to produce the card results in an immediate after-school detention, but this very rarely happens, with teachers tending to be lenient if the student is not a repeat offender. The official school hymn, Jerusalem, was traditionally sung on the afternoons of the individual year group award ceremonies but this practice has been rarely observed since 2006 (when John Harrison became headteacher).

A house system was established from September 2007:
 Red: Kestrels
 Orange: Ospreys
 Yellow: Hawks
 Green: Merlins
 Blue: Eagles
 Purple: Falcons

These houses compete throughout the year in sport and academic competitions, especially on Sports Day. House points are usually awarded to the winning House in these events and are also given out for good work within classes. The Houses compete for the House Cup (awarded to the House with the highest number of House Points) and the Sports Cup (awarded to the House who wins Sports Day).

The school makes use of a prefect system, whereby responsibilities are given to the upper school to keep the school's rules of conduct in effect.

Facilities
The school has the following main buildings:
 The Main Building
 The "Barnard" Centre (or Music & Drama and History & Religion and Philosophy Block)
 The "Bates" Complex (or Mathematics & English Block)
 The Art & Design Building
 The Sixth-Form Block
 The "New Block", or "Blue Block" (Business Studies, Economics, Psychology & Physical Education)
 The "New" Hall
 The "Temporary Block" (used as extra cross-curricular teaching rooms)

The school also has cricket, rugby, football and softball pitches, and use of the adjacent Tunbridge Wells Sports Centre, as well as their own "3G" pitch. The 3G Pitch is listed on the IRB website as a Regulation 22 Compliant Pitch.
Also, the 3G Pitch has been tested and now appears on The FA Register r, therefore it can be used for match play in all competitions outside the National League System.

Extracurricular activities
The school has a wide range of clubs and societies (including sporting, acting and music related activities). In addition there is a school orchestra (and Jazz Band). They publish the Eclectics Magazine annually. The school runs teams in several sports.

The school also has two student councils: the School Council and the Sixth Form Council. The School Council consists mainly of lower school students who meet once a term to organise trips and discuss their views on the school. The Sixth Form Council consists of Year 12 and 13 students. The main aims of the Sixth Form Council are organising social events for the Sixth Form and for the school as a whole.

Tennessee Collegiate Athletic Conference

The Tennessee Collegiate Athletic Conference (TCAC) was a former college athletic conference which was predominantly for smaller, private colleges in Western and Middle Tennessee.

Conference History
The TCAC was created in 1985 from the western division of the old Volunteer State Athletic Conference.  The charter members were Belmont University, Bethel College, Blue Mountain College, Christian Brothers University, Cumberland University, David Lipscomb University, Freed-Hardeman University, Lambuth University, Trevecca Nazarene University, and Union University.  The TCAC survived in that form until 1995 when both Belmont and Christian Brothers announced their intentions to go to the NCAA.  The remaining teams formed a new conference, the  TranSouth Athletic Conference which existed until the 2012-2013 school year.

Members' New Affiliations

Sponsored Sports
The TCAC sponsored 9 sports for men and women including baseball, basketball, golf, tennis, softball, and volleyball.  Bethel, Cumberland, and Lambuth play football in the Mid-South Conference.

Combination external beam radiation and brachytherapy boost with androgen suppression for treatment of intermediate-risk prostate cancer: an initial report of CALGB 99809.
Transperineal prostate brachytherapy (TPPB) can be used with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to provide a high-dose conformal boost to the prostate. The results of a multicenter Phase II trial assessing safety of combination of EBRT and TPPB boost with androgen suppression (AST) in treatment of intermediate-risk prostate cancer are present here. Patients had intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Six months of AST was administered. EBRT to the prostate and seminal vesicles was administered to 45Gy followed by TPPB using either (125)I or (103)Pd to deliver an additional 100Gy or 90Gy. Toxicity was graded using the National Cancer Institute CTC version 2 and the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group late radiation morbidity scoring systems. Sixty-three patients were enrolled. Median follow-up was 38 months. Side effects of AST including sexual dysfunction and vasomotor symptoms were commonly observed. Apart from erectile dysfunction, short-term Grade 2 and 3 toxicity was noted in 21% and 7%, primarily genitourinary related. Long-term Grade 2 and 3 toxicities were noted in 13% and 3%. Two patients had Grade 3 dysuria that resolved with longer follow-up. The most common Grade 2 long-term toxicity was urinary frequency (5%). No biochemical or clinical evidence of progression was noted for the entire cohort. In a cooperative group setting, combination EBRT and TPPB boost with 6 months of AST was generally well tolerated with expected genitourinary and gastrointestinal toxicities. Further follow-up will be required to fully assess long-term toxicity and cancer control.


Wendy's to keep a small stake in Arby's after breakup

NEW YORK — The marriage of square burgers and roast beef sandwiches is about to end. Wendy's/Arby's Group said Monday it will sell a majority stake in its struggling Arby's brand to Roark Capital Group, an Atlanta private equity firm.

The move marks the end of a short-lived union between the two fast-food chains and represents a role reversal. Arby's started as the suitor in the relationship and ended up on the chopping block.

Roark, which already owns Moe's Southwest Grill, Cinnabon and other restaurants, will pay $130 million in cash for an 81.5 percent stake in Arby's. It also will assume $190 million worth of Arby's debt.

Together, Wendy's and Arby's make the No. 2 chain restaurant by U.S. revenue, behind McDonald's, according to Technomic, a food industry research firm. Counted separately, Wendy's falls behind Subway, Starbucks and Burger King to No. 5. Arby's is No. 16.

Wendy's/Arby's Group Chief Executive Officer Roland Smith said the chain entertained offers from "quite a number" of bidders, but he declined to give details. He said the company's decision to keep an 18.5 percent stake in Arby's should signal its confidence in Arby's future.

The company tallied the value of the deal at $430 million, including the cash payment, the assumed debt, the tax benefit and the 18.5 percent stake, worth around $30 million.

Wendy's and Arby's came together when billionaire investor Nelson Peltz and his investment firm, which already owned Arby's, agreed to scoop up Wendy's.

Wendy's/Arby's Group let its two brands remain distinct after the merger, with Wendy's focusing on salads, baked potatoes and Frostys, and Arby's hawking roast beef sandwiches, curly fries and Jamocha shakes.

The combined company has struggled since its formation in the depths of the recession, losing money in seven of its 10 quarters. In January, it said it would consider selling Arby's to focus on Wendy's, which it hopes to expand by launching breakfast in more locations and by opening more restaurants overseas.

Wendy's has almost twice as many restaurants — 6,600 to Arby's 3,600 — and produces about 70 percent of the company's revenue.

Error: Unknown option S jcmp

"jcmp" is the name of the screen session that was previously launched using an os.system() call

A:

You're getting that message because you are not passing the arguments correctly. Each argument should be an individual string in the list. That is, -S jcmp should not be a single argument but two; same for -X stuff.
subprocess.call(["screen", "-S",  "jcmp", "-X", "stuff", "'kick Jman100'`echo -ne '\015'`"])
