Effect of pressure overload on cardioprotection of mitochondrial KATP channels and GSK-3beta: interaction with the MPT pore.
The mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) pore may serve as the end-effector of cardioprotective mechanisms, namely the mitochondrial K(ATP) channels and glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3beta). We recently showed that augmented MPT pore induction contributes to pressure overload-induced exacerbation of infarct size. This study tests the hypotheses that (i) elevation in perfusion pressure attenuates cardioprotection associated with activation of mitochondrial KATP channels or inhibition of GSK-3beta and (ii) perfusion pressure modulates the regulation of the MPT pore by mitochondrial KATP channels and/or GSK-3beta. Langendorff-perfused hearts were subjected to a regional ischemia-reperfusion insult at a perfusion pressure of either 80 or 160 cm H2O. The perfusion medium contained no drug, diazoxide (80 micromol/l; mitochondrial KATP channel opener), lithium chloride (LiCl, 1 mmol/l; nonselective inhibitor of GSK-3beta), SB-216763 (3 micromol/l; selective inhibitor of GSK-3beta), cyclosporine A (0.2 micromol/l; inhibitor of MPT pore induction), glibenclamide (50 micromol/l; inhibitor of KATP channels), and the combination of cyclosporine A and glibenclamide or the combination of glibenclamide and LiCl. The increase in perfusion pressure in the absence of a drug caused larger infarcts, an effect associated with poorer recovery of function following ischemia reperfusion. Treatment with either diazoxide or cyclosporine A reduced infarct size at both perfusion pressures but in contrast to diazoxide, cyclosporine A was more protective at the higher pressure. On the other hand, LiCl and SB-216763 reduced infarct size at both pressures, with the effect more marked at the higher perfusion pressure. Glibenclamide did not affect infarct size but eliminated the cardioprotective effect of cyclosporine A while having no effect on LiCl-induced cardioprotection. Perfusion pressure primarily affects GSK-3beta-mediated regulation of MPT pore formation in the ischemic reperfused heart. | Pile |
802 F.2d 1106
Buck Duane WALKER, Petitioner-Appellant,v.UNITED STATES of America, Respondent-Appellee.
No. 85-2502.
United States Court of Appeals,Ninth Circuit.
Submitted July 14, 1986.*Decided Oct. 14, 1986.
Earle Partington, Honolulu, Hawaii, for petitioner-appellant.
Elliott Enoki, Asst. U.S. Atty., Honolulu, Hawaii, for respondent-appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii.
Before KENNEDY, FARRIS and HALL, Circuit Judges.
KENNEDY, Circuit Judge:
1
Appellant Walker was convicted, among other offenses, of the interstate transportation of stolen property from Palmyra Island to the state of Hawaii, a violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2314. We affirmed Walker's conviction in United States v. Walker, 575 F.2d 209 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 439 U.S. 931, 99 S.Ct. 320, 58 L.Ed.2d 325 (1978). Walker was later indicted for murder, and we rejected his attempt to bar trial under the doctrines of double jeopardy and res judicata. United States v. Stearns, 707 F.2d 391 (9th Cir.1983), cert. denied, 464 U.S. 1047, 104 S.Ct. 720, 79 L.Ed.2d 182 (1984).
2
The present appeal is from denial of a motion under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2255 in which Walker makes a collateral attack on his earlier conviction under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2314. His contention is that Palmyra Island is not a possession of the United States within the meaning of the relevant statutes. We disagree and affirm the district court's denial of his petition.
3
One of the elements of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2314 is that the stolen property was transported in "interstate commerce." 18 U.S.C. Sec. 10 defines "interstate commerce" as "commerce between one State, Territory, Possession, or the District of Columbia and another State, Territory, Possession, or the District of Columbia." Palmyra Island is a possession of the United States. See 48 U.S.C. Sec. 644a (placing Palmyra and seven other American Pacific Islands under the jurisdiction of the District of Hawaii); United States v. Fullard-Leo, 331 U.S. 256, 67 S.Ct. 1287, 91 L.Ed. 1474 (1947) (recognizing that Palmyra is under United States sovereignty); cf. Yandell v. Transocean Air Lines, 253 F.2d 622, 623 (9th Cir.1957) (describing Wake Island, which is also listed in 48 U.S.C. Sec. 644a, as a United States possession). As a result, Walker's transportation of a stolen boat from Palmyra to Hawaii falls squarely within the prohibition of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2314. There is no reason to suppose that Congress intended a silent exception in the statute where the transportation is in interstate commerce wholly within the confines of a single judicial district. The jurisdictional lines of the district court are irrelevant for purposes of the interpretation and implementation of 18 U.S.C. Secs. 10, 2314.

The denial of the petition by the trial court is AFFIRMED.

The panel was unanimously of the opinion that oral argument was not required in this case. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a)

Abnormal glycosylation of human cellular fibronectin in the presence of swainsonine.
The relationship between post-translational modifications of macromolecules and their intracellular routing is of fundamental importance. The availability of the indolizidine alkaloid, swainsonine, which interferes with glycoprotein processing, provides a new probe for studying relationships between glycosylation of proteins and their cellular routing. Using fibronectin as a model glycoprotein, we have explored the effect of swainsonine upon oligosaccharide structure, glycoprotein synthesis, and secretion. Confluent human fibroblasts were labeled with radioactive mannose or glucosamine in the presence or absence of swainsonine. Fibronectin was secreted into the medium of swainsonine-treated cultures and found to contain endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H-sensitive oligosaccharides, instead of the normal complex endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H-resistant oligosaccharides. Pronase-released glycopeptides and hydrazine-released oligosaccharides of isolated fibronectin from the culture media were analyzed using endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H and specific exoglycosidase digestions in conjunction with calibrated gel filtration chromatography. The structure of the swainsonine-modified endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H-sensitive oligosaccharide was found to be a hybrid type, Gal beta leads to GlcNAc beta leads to Man alpha leads to [Man alpha leads to (Man alpha leads to) Man alpha leads to]Man beta leads to GlcNAc beta leads to (+/- Fuc alpha leads to)-GlcNAc. Other experiments showed that the synthesis and secretion of fibronectin were not affected by its change in glycosylation. The results also infer that swainsonine inhibits Golgi mannosidase II in intact cells, and that removal of two mannose residues by that mannosidase is not a prerequisite for addition of galactose to the existing peripheral nonreducing GlcNAc or for the addition of fucose to the innermost reducing GlcNAc. The composite results indicate that significant changes in oligosaccharide structure had little effect upon the routing and cellular release of a typical N-asparagine-linked glycoprotein. | Pile |

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a surface-mounted connector in which terminals projecting from a connector main body is soldered to a substrate in a state of being placed on the substrate.
2. Description of the Related Art
On a substrate of an electronic device or an electronic circuit, for example, a connector and the like are mounted as electronic components. When the connector is mounted on the substrate, for example, the connector is fixed to the substrate in such a manner as to be fastened to the substrate with screws.
Here, a surface-mounted connector that is one type of connector (which may occasionally be referred as an SMT connector) is provided with a connector main body formed into a substantially rectangular box, and a screw fastening flange portion formed so as to project from a side of the connector main body. With the screw fastening flange portion being fastened to the substrate by inserting screw(s) through the flange portion, the connector main body, that is to say, an SMT connector is fixed to the substrate.
However, the screw fastening flange portion of the SMT connector occupies a relatively large size (area) on the substrate, and therefore, the large occupying area becomes an obstacle in producing small-sized electronic devices or electronic circuits.
In this case, there exists a structure in which the SMT connector is mounted on the substrate by soldering fixing terminal, provided on the SMT connector, to the substrate instead of using the screw fastening. The fixing terminal is formed as, for example, a member that is bent so as to have a substantially L-shaped cross section. The fixing terminal is temporarily fixed to the connector main body in such a manner as to be press-fitted, along a side wall of the connector main body, from a side that is opposite to a side in which the connector main body is mounted on the substrate. In the temporarily fixed state, the bent portion is made to face the substrate when the SMT connector is mounted on the substrate (for example, see Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open (JP-U) No. 5-23429). With the fixing terminal being soldered to the substrate, the connector main body, that is to say, the SMT connector itself is mounted on the substrate. Here, even if the bent portion of the fixing terminal is made smaller than the above-described screw fastening flange portion, to some degree, in the area occupied on the substrate, a sufficient soldering strength is obtained. For this reason, an electronic device or electronic circuit can be made smaller.
However, if excessive force is applied to the fixing terminal for some reason (for example, when the SMT connector is placed on the substrate, the SMT connector is bumped against other electronic components mounted or placed on the substrate) during a time period from a time in which the fixing terminal is press-fitted into the connector main body and brought into a temporarily fixed state until a time in which the SMT connector is placed on the substrate, and further until a time in which the SMT connector is mounted on the substrate, the fixing terminal is dislocated from a regular mounting position on the connector main body. As a result, the fixing terminal is removed from the connector main body or is placed on the substrate in the state of being raised (separated) from the substrate, and there is a possibility that mounting failure of the connector main body may occur. | Pile |
Disentangling plastic and genetic changes in body mass of Siberian jays.
Spatial and temporal phenotypic differentiation in mean body size is of commonplace occurrence, but the underlying causes remain often unclear: both genetic differentiation in response to selection (or drift) and environmentally induced plasticity can create similar phenotypic patterns. Studying changes in body mass in Siberian jays (Perisoreus infaustus) over three decades, we discovered that mean body mass declined drastically (ca. 10%) over the first two decades, but increased markedly thereafter back to almost the initial level. Quantitative genetic analyses revealed that although body mass was heritable (h(2) = 0.46), the pronounced temporal decrease in body mass was mainly a product of phenotypic plasticity. However, a concomitant and statistically significant decrease in predicted breeding values suggests a genetic component to this change. The subsequent increase in mean body mass was indicated to be entirely due to plasticity. Selection on body mass was estimated to be too weak to fully account for the observed genetic decline in body mass, but bias in selection differential estimates due to environmental covariance between body mass and fitness is possible. Hence, the observed body mass changes appear to be driven mainly by phenotypic plasticity. Although we were not able to identify the ecological driver of the observed plastic changes, the results highlight the utility of quantitative genetic approaches in disentangling genetic and phenotypic changes in natural populations. | Pile |
Inhibition of axon reflex vasodilatation by topically applied capsaicin.
Topical application of capsaicin to human skin produced an initial burning erythematous reaction which diminished over 24 hr leaving the skin unresponsive to histamine-induced axon reflex vasodilatation without altering sensitivity to pain, touch and temperature. Depletion of substance P from local sensory nerve terminals is suggested as a possible explanation for this capsaicin effect. | Pile |
I Don’t Auto-Update
This is super random, but I really hate auto-updates. Long gone are the days when I’d look forward to OS updates on my Mac or iPhone because it seems like Apple is only interested in adding features to their newest products. How many times have I seen app updates for the iPhone X in the past few months? It’s been crazy. I’m sure, going forward, my little phone is going to be left in the dust while the OS is optimised for the absolute latest iPhone model while the updates that affect my phone are just going to make it slower and run hotter. Or the macOS updates are going to be centred on the touch bar that I don’t want, need, or have.
What I especially hate is when developers release a new version of their app and in the what’s new section, all it says is one of these:
Bug fixes.
General improvements.
We’re making the app better to use, so we update it every 2 weeks. (I think it’s because they want to stay at the top of the most downloaded chart.)
The excitement is way too much for me…
I’m not sure about anybody else, but I kinda would like to know what’s actually been improved. I don’t need the computer science explanation, I just want to know what bugs have been fixed and I mean the ones that would improve speed, improve the look, or something like that. I think developers should be a little more transparent like that or at least have a longer explanation of what work they’ve done. I’m perfectly fine with “Fixed spelling mistakes”. That would always make me happy.
The browser that I use as my default now, Vivaldi, does a really great job at this. There are actual things to look forward to with updates, they document them where people can see them, and they prove that you don’t have to go through 16 full number versions to bring in something new. It’s definitely annoying not to be able to distinguish what changed from Chrome 33 to Chrome 60. I’m sure 80 is right around the corner.
Something like this is nice to see. Plus, if you’ve missed something it’s there.
Still, I have a hope that new updates to software and apps bring something new and exciting to the table. I actually don’t have the auto-update features on anything turned on. I just get a notification of what’s changed then I can decide whether I want to install them. I usually do, but at least this way I can see what’s changed before I install it. I do this on my Mac, PC, Android devices, and iOS device. Security updates are different, but I’m usually well-informed of what’s happening in the security world anyway. I also don’t think that it’s smart to explain in detail what the security updates do before a certain percentage of people install them (an example of how telemetry can be used for good instead of evil).
I’m still hopeful and still looking forward to “remarkable” updates with stuff. My XBox One kinda auto-updates itself (because it’s always “on”) which makes me a little uneasy since I want to see the progress of Astroneer.
That’s all from me for the moment. Weird post but it’s been on my mind. You can never tell what I’ll post. | Pile |
TEDxWakeForestU 2016
From cyber security to human trafficking to food safety to Sandy Hook, Wake Forest’s 5th annual TEDxWakeForestU speakers addressed various safety and security issues on Feb. 20. See TEDxWakeForestU and this link for speakers since 2012 and the bios of this year’s speakers. The Winston-Salem Journal reported on the event this month and its story is reprinted below.
Security. Usually when people think of that word, they think of the physical sense of safety.
Students at Wake Forest University wanted to explore a broader concept of security, one that takes into account such issues as informational data, quality education and the existence of modern slavery.
For the fifth year, Wake Forest hosted its TEDxWakeForestU event Saturday in Wait Chapel. More than 1,300 people filled the chapel to hear eight speakers discuss security.
Mark Hurd, CEO of Oracle Corp., talked about data, how it’s threatened and how it’s secured.
Oracle is an information technology company that works with businesses to secure personal and professional data.
Hurd estimated that there are 17.6 zettabytes (1 billion terabytes) of digital information stored worldwide, and by 2020 that number could double. It’s generated by governments and companies, individuals, the private sector, and increasingly, machine-to-machine communication, Hurd said.
“Most of this is good,” he said. “It can save lives and create better service. But there is a dark side.”
Cybercrime, Hurd said, costs $450 billion every two years. The Pentagon is attacked 10 million times a day, he said.
Hurd’s advice to students: Read before you click and think before you post.
“The Internet forgets nothing,” he said. “No one is looking out for you. You decide what you want to put in the public domain.”
The second speaker, Katrena Perou, is the chief program officer at Urban Arts Partnership, a nonprofit that works to advance the intellectual, social and artistic development of underprivileged public school students.
Perou highlighted Samuel Gompers High School in South Bronx, N.Y., that had a graduation rate of 29.6 percent.
Perou said that juvenile crimes mostly happen between 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., after school and before parents get home from work.
She became familiar with the high school students by listening to a CD of songs written by them and produced at the school.
One song called “State of Emergency,” written by a 16-year-old boy, made Perou pull her car over and write out the lyrics.
The song expressed what many students at the school were feeling — their voices weren’t heard, they weren’t trusted, and it was only a matter of time before they ended up dead or in prison, Perou said.
She used the song to draw the leaders of the school to the forefront and, by example, join arts programs that would help keep students out of trouble and further their education.
The third speaker, Bradley Myles, is the CEO of the Polaris Project, which fights to eradicate modern-day slavery.
Modern-day slavery, Myles said, shows up as labor trafficking and sex trafficking. The draw is the high profit, low risk model.
“Traffickers will tell you that they wanted to make a lot of money and they didn’t think they’d get caught,” he said. “What we want to do is reverse that model and make it low profit and high risk.”
The way that Myles and the Polaris Project is doing that is by implementing a national hotline for trafficking victims, collecting and analyzing data to track trafficking networks and working with partners to identify and stop traffickers.
There are 21 million victims of human trafficking, and less than 1 percent are being found because of their sense of helplessness, Myles said.
“We are the modern-day Underground Railroad,” he said of the Polaris Project.
Other speakers at the event included Maureen Berner, a professor of public administration and government at UNC-Chapel Hill; Carl Krebs a partner at Davis Brody Bond architectural firm that designed the 9/11 memorial and museum; Errin Fulp, WFU professor of computer science who researches security within computer networks; Ignacio Packer, secretary general of the Terres Des Hommes International Federation that works to promote the rights of children; and Nicole Hockley, the founder of the Sandy Hook Promise, a nonprofit that works to end gun-related deaths in America.
TED is a nonprofit organization started as a conference in California about technology, entertainment and design. In its 32 years, it has broadened its scope to include other “ideas worth spreading” with speakers who talk about their lives in 18 minutes.
TEDx offers individuals or groups a way of hosting local, self-organized events. | Pile |
Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia of the gingiva.
The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical-pathologic features of what appears to be a gingival form of proliferative verrucous leukoplakia. Ten adult patients with recurrent and histologically progressive gingival leukoplakias who were diagnosed and treated at the University of California, San Francisco between 1994 and 1999, comprised the subject group for this investigation. Clinical and microscopic features were reviewed. Proliferation indices and p53 expression were evaluated immunohistochemically, and the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA was determined by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. Lesions presented as solitary or regional flat/papillary/verrucal leukoplakias of the free and attached gingiva (tooth-bearing areas only). With time, flat lesions developed a papillary or verruciform profile. Although lesions were recurrent, they were confined to the gingiva, and multiple lesions did not develop. Half the patients used tobacco, and HPV could not be detected by using PCR. Microscopically, 6 cases began as hyperkeratotic lesions, and 4 initially exhibited a psoriasiform pattern with a marked inflammatory component. With recurrences, the lesions became progressively atypical histologically. The proliferation indices for these lesions showed modest increases over normal epithelium, and positive p53 staining was evident in 4 of 10 cases, indicating a disruption of the keratinocyte cell cycle in these lesions. The mechanism associated with the positive p53 staining (protein binding to wild type p53 versus mutation of the p53 gene) was not determined. Lesions recurred after conservative scalpel or laser excision, and many developed into verrucous or squamous cell carcinoma. Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia of the gingiva (PVLG) appears to be a subset of oral proliferative verrucous leukoplakia. It can be characterized as a solitary, recurring, progressive white patch that develops a verruciform architecture and may not be associated with HPV. PVLG has an unpredictable course and is at risk for development into verrucous or squamous cell carcinoma. Currently, there is no way to determine or predict which gingival white lesions will follow the clinical course described for this group of patients with PVLG. | Pile |

Dear Bob,
You may be surprised to find the enclosed knitted uterus and fallopian tubes in your own mail, since you have not been a loud voice in support of attacking the health care rights of women. I have selected you as recipient for two reasons. First, you have been a consistent and vocal opponent of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Fiscal concerns aside, the Act markedly increases access to preventive care, reduces the availability and cost of health care for women, and adds accessibility for those with pre-existing conditions, all good things for Tennesseeans. Second, you have not spoken out against the rampant proliferation of medically unsupportable, intrusive, misogynistic attacks on women's health care that are occurring with startling frequency in state and federal legislation. Surely, as a husband and father of two young women, you must dread the expansion of government into women's personal medical matters, especially considering that in a different political atmosphere this may set precedent for the legislation of procedures or care measures that are just as objectionable to you as abortion currently is.
I appreciate your focus on issues that are of great concern to your constituents, especially fiscal responsibility and jobs creation. I do hope you will, as one of the more practical, scientific-minded and reasonable men in your party, use your influence to effect a better attitude towards women's health care in your colleagues. The uterus is a reminder for you to do just that.
Sincerely,
Essie Bruell, M.D.
Chattanooga, TN

This invention relates to the art of powder metallurgy. This invention is the result of a contract with the Department of Energy (Contract No. W-7405-ENG-36).
Alloys of tungsten in uranium are conventionally produced by coreducing uranium tetrafluoride with tungsten oxide or tungsten fluoride. The maximum amount of tungsten which can be alloyed with uranium to obtain a coherent shape using this coreducing process is about 4 wt %. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,959,194, issued Sept. 25, 1990, entitled "High Strength Uranium-Tungsten Alloy Process" (Dunn et al.), a method of making alloys of tungsten and uranium is disclosed. These alloys may be described as dispersion-strengthened and precipitation-strengthened alloys where tungsten particles are uniformly dispersed throughout the alloy. The composition of these alloys ranges from about 4 wt % to about 35 wt % tungsten. In an article in the Journal of Metals (January 1950) entitled "The Alloy Systems Uranium-Tungsten, Uranium-Tantalum and Tungsten-Tantalum," Schramm, Gordon, and Kauffman reported on their work which resulted in construction of a phase diagram for the uranium tungsten system. | Pile |

University of Wyoming doctoral candidate John Calder holds sediment cores taken from Seven Lakes in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness Area of northern Colorado. Calder and his colleagues examined charcoal deposits in 12 lakes in and near the wilderness area, finding that wildfires burned large portions of that area during a documented spike in temperatures in North America starting about 1,000 years ago.

The history of wildfires over the past 2,000 years in a northern Colorado mountain range indicates that large fires will continue to increase as a result of a warming climate, according to new study led by a University of Wyoming doctoral student.
"What our research shows is that even modest regional warming trends, like we are currently experiencing, can cause exceptionally large areas in the Rockies to be burned by wildfires," says John Calder, a Ph.D. candidate in UW's Program in Ecology and the Department of Geology and Geophysics.
The findings will be published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a major scientific journal. The paper, "Medieval warming initiated exceptionally large wildfire outbreaks in the Rocky Mountains," is co-written by UW researchers Calder, Dusty Parker, Cody Stopka and Bryan Shuman, along with Gonzalo Jimenez-Moreno of the University of Granada in Spain.
Calder and his colleagues examined charcoal deposits in 12 lakes in and near the Mount Zirkel Wilderness of northern Colorado, finding that wildfires burned large portions of that area during a documented spike in temperatures in North America starting about 1,000 years ago. That period, known as the Medieval Warm Period (MWP), lasted about 300 years, when temperatures rose just under 1 degree Fahrenheit.
Temperature increases over the past few decades have been comparable to those of the MWP, resulting in some of the largest wildfires in U.S. history. Since the mid-1980s, beginning with the large fires in Yellowstone National Park in 1988, there has been an increase in the frequency of large wildfires in the American West.

If the warming trend continues as projected, the fires of recent years could be just the start of more extensive and devastating blazes, the researchers say.
The study examined how often large areas burned in the past 2,000 years. It found that the only time when fires burned substantially more area than in the 20th century was during the MWP.
"When we look back in time, we only see evidence of large areas burning one time in the last 2,000 years," Calder says. "This suggests that large wildfires of the magnitude we have recently seen used to be very infrequent."
The researchers estimate that 83 percent of the 385-square-mile study area burned at the beginning of the MWP, when the climate warmed 0.9 degrees. That represented an increase of more than 250 percent, compared to the 20th century.
By comparison, the average increase in temperature in the Rocky Mountain region since 2000 has been about 1.25 degrees higher than during the 20th century.
"Corresponding to those higher temperatures, 12 percent of our study area burned in the large Zirkel Complex fire in 2002," Calder says. "Our data indicate that, in the Medieval Warm Period, fires were either much larger, or large fires similar to the Zirkel Complex fire burned in that same wilderness area once every decade or two when the temperatures warmed by 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit."
The Medieval fires would be unusual almost anywhere in the Rockies.
"Using Yellowstone fire history as a baseline for comparison, our minimum estimate of 50 percent of (Mount Zirkel) sites burned within a century at the beginning of the MWP exceeds any century-scale estimate of Yellowstone burning for the past 750 years," the scientists wrote. Over the century that led up to and included the massive 1988 fires, only about 30 percent of Yellowstone burned.
"The large increase in the number of sites burned by fires (during the MWP) highlights the risk that large portions of individual landscapes may burn as climates continue to warm today," the researchers concluded.

Q:
Table filter not working with select2
I'm creating table filter for my project. With input fields it works perfectly, but I can't manage to work properly select2 filter, it just don't work.. Here is my jQuery code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.filterable .filters input, select').keyup(function(e) {
var code = e.keyCode || e.which;
if (code == '9') return;
var $input = $(this),
inputContent = $input.val().toLowerCase(),
$panel = $input.parents('.filterable'),
column = $panel.find('.filters th').index($input.parents('th')),
$table = $panel.find('.table'),
$rows = $table.find('tbody tr');
var $filteredRows = $rows.filter(function() {
var value = $(this).find('td').eq(column).text().toLowerCase();
return value.indexOf(inputContent) === -1;
});
$table.find('tbody .no-result').remove();
$rows.show();
$filteredRows.hide();
if ($filteredRows.length === $rows.length) {
$table.find('tbody').prepend($('<tr class="no-result text-center"><td colspan="' + $table.find('.filters th').length + '">Deja, bet rezultatų nepavyko rasti</td></tr>'));
}
});
});
$("#street").select2({
minimumInputLength: 3
});
And here is my JsFiddle :
https://jsfiddle.net/5202jsax/9/
Appreciate for help in advance!
A:
Working Fiddle.
The keyup event will not work for the list select, you've just to add the change event also to deal with the select elements, like :
$('.filterable .filters input, select').on('input change', function(e) {
//Your logic HERE
});
NOTE : I'm using the input event in this example since it's more efficient when dealing with the user inputs.
Hope this helps.

Inositol trisphosphate restores impaired human gallbladder motility associated with cholesterol stones.
Gallbladder motility is impaired in specimens with cholesterol stones but normal with pigment stones. Muscle cells obtained from 19 human gallbladders with cholesterol stones and 11 with pigment stones were enzymatically digested and contracted with cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8), acetylcholine, and KCl. Muscle cells from pigment stones had a greater contraction than cells from cholesterol stones. CCK-8-induced contraction was unaffected by calcium-free media but was blocked by strontium. Potassium-evoked contraction was blocked by a calcium-free media and unaffected by strontium. Inositol triphosphate (IP-3)-induced contraction was similar to the contraction caused by CCK-8 in permeable cells from pigment stones but was greater than the response to CCK-8 in cells from cholesterol stones. Muscle cells from gallbladders with cholesterol stones contract less than cells from gallbladders with pigment stones; CCK-8-induced contraction only uses stored calcium; and IP-3 causes contractions of equal magnitude in cells from gallbladders with cholesterol and pigment stones. These abnormalities could result from an impaired receptor activation of the mechanism for IP-3 generation and release of stored calcium. | Pile |

A:
The resource.getrlimit call will tell you the hard and soft limits for various system resources. For memory
soft, hard = resource.getrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_AS)
The softlimit is the value which, when reached, the operating system will typically restrict the process or notify it with a signal. The hard limit represents an upper bound on the values for the softlimit. The softlimit can be modified with an appropriate call to resource.setrlimit(). The hard limit is typically controlled by a system-wide parameter set the the system administrator. It cannot be raised by user level processes, although it can be lowered. This is reported to work on Linux but not MacOS or Windows where it returns -1 for both values.
I suspect that you are running up against the OS's max for process size.

A developmental study of the auditory Stroop effect.
A pediatric auditory version of the Stroop procedure was developed and administered to 48 normal children from 3 to 6 years of age. Our purpose was to define the developmental course characterizing interaction between auditory and semantic speech dimensions in young children. The procedure was a reaction time (RT) task that required children to respond as quickly and as accurately as possible to words spoken by a male or a female voice. Children were instructed to ignore what was said and to push the "Mommy" button if Mommy was talking or the "Daddy" button if Daddy was talking. Performance was obtained for words with neutral, congruent, and conflicting semantic content. Preschool children manifested processing dependencies that were similar to those observed in adults on the visual Stroop procedure. Conflict between semantic and auditory dimensions significantly increased RT and congruence between the two dimensions significantly decreased RT relative to the neutral condition. The pattern of results indicated that the meaning of words was processed automatically in the normal children. The magnitude of the Stroop effect reflected developmental change with increasing age. | Pile |
[Effect of morphine dependence on the hypothalamus of the mother and offspring during postnatal ontogenesis (experimental study)].
Electron microscopy was used to study the time-course of changes in the neuroglia of the hypothalamus. The offspring manifested deceleration of the time of glia maturation with partial destruction of the protein-synthesizing and oxidative-energy structures as well as more frequent occurrence of satellitosis. The mothers and offspring demonstrated membranous bodies in the nucleus and cytoplasm of astrocytes, pronounced osmiophilia of the nucleus of oligodendrocytes accompanied by the impairment of myelination in the function of the latter ones (demyelinization) and axon degeneration by the dark type, which may serve a morphological substrate for the hypothalamic syndromes seen in patients suffering from opium dependence. | Pile |

BBC to show Women's Super League
It has been a great week for followers of the Women's Super League, after it was announced that the BBC will screen four programmes next season.
As part of the deal, there will be goal round-ups, highlights and previews of England women's national team games.
In addition to the BBC's coverage, the BBC Sport website will show a weekly round-up of all the week's games for free. The very same programme will also be shown on the BBC News sportsday feature every Friday.
"Our football league being consistently shown on terrestrial television will enable us to take the game to a wider audience and engage new fans in the sport, and hopefully inspire more young girls to play the game."
The women's game is growing at a fast rate here in England, and the success of the game was measured at the Olympics, where the crowds were equally as high as the men's equivalent, with some games being played in front of sold out venues at Coventry's Ricoh Arena and Newcastle's St. James' Park.
"We look forward to bringing our audiences a great range of women's football over the coming months."

Q:
VS Code - debugging referenced project (.NET Core)
How can I force debbuger in Visual Studio Code to step into method which is defined in project which I added reference to? I am referencing Encog library which is outside the working directory like this:
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup>
<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
<TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.2</TargetFramework>
<RootNamespace>IDS_CS</RootNamespace>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<ProjectReference Include="..\encog-dotnet-core-master\encog-core-cs\encog-core-cs.csproj" />
</ItemGroup>
</Project>
Debugger starts and everything seems fine, however I cannot step into method which is implemented in the Encog librarye.
Any solution? Thanks!
A:
In all of your *.csproj (C# project) files that you want to debug in vs-code, be sure to add the <DebugType>portable</DebugType> in a <PropertyGroup> option. Below is a snippet of how I have all of my *.csproj files setup. After doing this I was able to debug step-into the main web application as well as any of the code referenced from one of my other projects to support separation of concerns: my logic lair layer :) vs. my model layer vs. my data layer, etc.
In all your *.csproj files:
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.1</TargetFramework>
<GenerateDocumentationFile>true</GenerateDocumentationFile>
<DebugType>portable</DebugType>
</PropertyGroup>
A bit more info can be found here if you have project.json files instead of *.csproj files.

FAMILY COLUMN: ‘I’m a mumsy mum - and proud of it’.
Emma Hakier
Flicking through photos in preparation for our son’s third birthday this week, I was beaming.
Snap-happy is my middle name, so we have thousands that capture everything from firsts, to comedy moments, cute expressions, family occasions and little bits of mischief.
Go columnist Emma Hakier with her two children, Issac and Jessica.
But one reduced me to tears. A picture that captured what nearly became one of our final moments together, and one that makes me want to scream at the ‘unmumsy mum’ brigade.
Jessica was two, and Isaac just 11 days old when the photo was taken on a sunny day at LothertonHall near Leeds.
I was ill at the time, but brushed it off as being tired from over-doing things in the days following 10lb Isaac’s tricky birth - nothing was going to spoil our first proper day out as afamily of four. Unusually, while we were picnicking, my hubby grabbed the camera and started taking photos of the children and I (as with most families, mummy takes most of the pictures). Little did we know, that hours later, I would be rushed to hospital and diagnosed with an illness that kills 47,000 people a year in the UK – Sepsis. Had he and my parents let me persuade them that I didn’t need to go to hospital that evening, or had A&E staff not immediately suspected sepsis when we arrived, my beautiful babies would have grown up without a mummy, and their doting daddy would have been widowed at 41. Needless to say, when the terrifying truth of how close I’d come to having my life snatched away by an illness I’d never heard of, began to emerge in the two weeks of intensive treatment that followed, it was a huge wake-up call.
I definitely don’t take life for granted, and I cherish every second with my loved ones - even more than I did before. So where do ‘unmumsy mums’ come into this? In the three years since my battle with sepsis, which is thought to have been caused by a procedure carried out during Isaac’s delivery, there has been a growing trend for mums to moan about every aspect of motherhood.
I don’t profess to be theperfect mummy, but I cannot relate to this at all.Don’t get me wrong, some of these blogs are light-hearted and funny, and I get that they create a sense of camaraderie among those who find parenting harder than others, but some of these women take their moaning to such extremes, that you wonder why they ever bothered having kids in the first place.
Recently, one made it sound like swearing at toddlers behind their backs was normal parental behaviour – there were hundreds of comments from people who said they do it regularly … I don’t get it. All parents have days where they feel wine is ‘needed’, or where a lie-in would be nice, but the giggly, snuggly, cheeky, playful times make it all worth it.
How can mums moan, when there are people who would do anything to be blessed with children, and others who are praying for a miracle to keep theirs alive? I wouldn’t want to miss a second of being a mummy, and I thank my lucky stars daily, that I don’t have to. Every moment is precious - I am a ‘mumsy mum’ and proud. | Pile |
Candida: an increasingly important pathogen in the nursery.

John Waters Wants You to Wreck Things From the Inside in ‘Make Trouble’ Book Trailer — Watch
The book comes out in April.
John Waters, the director of “Hairspray” and “Pink Flamingos,” gave an invigorating commencement speech to the graduates at the Rhode Island School of Design two years ago. The essence of the speech was to “make trouble.” He goes on to define what type of people you have to make trouble for: the spiritually poor. Encouraging then and encouraging now, Waters’ speech, which has been transcribed into a book titled “Make Trouble,” will find its way into bookstores on April 11.
In the initial speech, Waters was addressing graduates; however, with his new book he’s speaking to the masses. It is now more important than ever to “make trouble.” This country currently finds itself in a state that needs to be upset. We can no longer condone the crimes and injustices waged against the people of this country by the oppressor. We need to stop treating humans as commodities. The spiritually poor need to cease exploiting people as profitable. That furthering a personal agenda destroys the prosperity of hundreds of people.
Waters points out that “we must wreck things from the inside.” I myself am about to graduate from college, and I find that Waters isn’t so much making a statement, but calling us to action. See his trailer for “Make Trouble” below: | Pile |

Q:
JavaScript: How to calculate and update input field value based on inserted value from the other
I have two input fields and a variable:
var x = 5;
First: <input type="text" name="first">
Second: <input type="text" name="second">
When I input a value in the first input field I want to update and display the second input field value with: first-input-field-value * x
When I input a value in the second input field I want to update and display the first input field value with: x / second-input-field-value
A:
A simple solution would be to implement event handlers that perform the respective arithmetic for each input element. Some things to consider would be:
ensuring the user supplied input is a valid number. Below I parse the current string value of the updated input and ensure the parsed result is a valid number before performing the arthimetic
use the input event ensure that arthimetic and input updates are peformed immediatly, and for different user interactions (keypress, paste from keyboard, etc)
In code this can be written as:
/* Query document for first and second input elements */
const inputFirst = document.querySelector('input[name="first"]');
const inputSecond = document.querySelector('input[name="second"]');
const x = 5;
/*
Add event handler for the input event that will be run when user interaction
with input causes value change
*/
inputFirst.addEventListener("input", (event) => {
/* Obtain current numeric value for this input after user interaction */
const value = Number.parseFloat(event.target.value);
if(!Number.isNaN(value)) {
/*
The value is a number, so we're safe to use it for arithmetic. Here
we update the value of the secondInput from the input event of the
firstInput
*/
inputSecond.value = value * x;
}
});
inputSecond.addEventListener("input", (event) => {
const value = Number.parseFloat(event.target.value);
if(!Number.isNaN(value)) {
inputFirst.value = value / x;
}
});
First: <input type="text" name="first">
Second: <input type="text" name="second">

Q:
Vector Space and Linearly Independence
I have a homework question that is giving me a hard-time on. I am using many ideas but they seem to not work out. If someone can give me pointers, it would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
The question is:
In the vector space of real-valued functions $F=\{f\mid f:\Bbb R\to\Bbb R\}$, determine if the following set $S$ is linearly independent. $$S=\left\lbrace \sin 2x, \cos 2x, 2 \right\rbrace$$
A:
Start from a linear relation $\;a\sin 2x+b\cos 2x +c\cdot 2=0$, and set successively $\;x=0,\enspace x=\dfrac\pi4, \enspace x=\dfrac\pi6$, say.

Q:
Most Django-esque way of returning a common queries of a model
My models are:
class DiscussionVote(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)
path = models.CharField(null=False, max_length=50)
I keep finding myself doing two common queries:
DiscussionVote.objects.filter(path=request.path, user=request.user).exists()
and
DiscussionVote.objects.filter(path=request.path).count()
I'm new to Django and not sure on the best route to creating a simple method to return these two common queries. What I'm thinking of is something along the lines of:
DiscussionVote.objects.get_vote_count(path) // to return a number
DiscussionVote.objects.has_voted(user, path) // to return a bool
Is this possible, thanks!
A:
Yes @Sebastien is correct; you can also use a QuerySet (so you can chain things) and reuse more code in the long term. It might not fit your specific use-case as well but I find it better as project grows. Some pseudo-code here (not tested):
class DiscussionVoteQuerySet(models.QuerySet):
def by_request(self, request):
return self.filter(path=request.path)
def by_user(self, user):
return self.filter(user=user)
class DiscussionVote(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)
path = models.CharField(null=False, max_length=50)
objects = DiscussionVoteQuerySet.as_manager()
Then you can do:
_count = DiscussionVote.objects.by_request(request).count()
_has_voted = DiscussionVote.objects.by_request(request).by_user(user).exists()

129 페이지 - I have endeavoured to show that no absolute structural line of demarcation, wider than that between the animals which immediately succeed us in the scale, can be drawn between the animal world and ourselves; and I may add the expression of my belief that the attempt to draw a physical distinction is equally futile, and that even the highest faculties of feeling and of intellect begin to germinate in lower forms of life...

71 페이지 - THE question of questions for mankind — the problem which underlies all others, and is more deeply interesting than any other — is the ascertainment of the place which Man occupies in nature and of his relations to the universe of things.
132 페이지 - Our reverence for the nobility of manhood will not be lessened by the knowledge, that Man is, in substance and in structure, one with the brutes; for, he alone possesses the marvellous endowment of intelligible and rational speech, whereby, in the secular period of his existence, he has slowly accumulated and organized the experience which is almost wholly lost with the cessation of every individual life in other animals...
123 페이지 - Darwin's hypothesis, maintain, that whatever system of organs be studied, the comparison of their modifications in the ape series leads to one and the same result — that the structural differences which separate man from the gorilla and the chimpanzee are not so great as those which separate the gorilla from the lower apes.
115 페이지 - And it is a remarkable circumstance, that though so far as our present knowledge extends, there is one true structural break in the series of forms of Simian brains, this hiatus does not lie between Man and the man-like apes, but between the lower and the lowest Simians; or, in other words, between the old and new world apes and monkeys, and the Lemurs. Every Lemur which has yet been examined, in fact, has its cerebellum partially visible from above, and its posterior lobe, with the contained posterior...
130 페이지 - At the same time, no one is more strongly convinced than I am of the vastness of the gulf between civilized man and the brutes ; or is more certain that whether from them or not, he is assuredly not of them.
83 페이지 - So that it is only quite in the later stages of development that the young human being presents marked differences from the young ape, while the latter departs as much from the dog in its development as the man does.

Tue, 25 May 2010 12:18:11 +0000ED20913940@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/<p>Lincolnshire County Council was thrown into 'total disarray' after discovering that the vital roles of 'Change Manager' and 'Diversity Coordinator' will be left unfilled due to the government's programme of cutbacks. In a further blow to the local community, Adult Education courses in crystal healing and Reiki have been slashed.</p>
<p>Dazed residents were reported to be wandering the streets in shock, unable to comprehend how society would continue to function. The entire public sector from Lincolnshire has been signed off sick with stress for two months, and all council employees over the age of 40 have taken early retirement due to ill health.</p>
<p>'Change managers are simply not something you can dispense with without severe, long-term consequence', warned one local trader. 'Not only that, but the education cutbacks could be a disaster for the county. Without a steady flow of inadequately-qualified practitioners of worthless pseudoscience, Lincoln's wellbeing industry will be brought to its knees.'</p>
<p>Council workers have organised a series of strikes to protest at the cutbacks. These are scheduled to take place in 'as little as 2 years', to allow adequate time for proper public consultation, and the recruitment of the council's new 'Industrial Relations Coordinating Manager' (Salary 55K, plus car, bonuses, generous pension entitlements, relocation package, subsidised canteen and assistance with home office costs).

God of War 4 has a Norse mythology setting and series star Kratos wears a beard, according to a huge leak of assets.
Did you miss me?
Video game industry insider Shinobi602 teased the Norse mythology setting on Twitter before NerdLeaks dug up concept art from the website of someone who worked at developer Sony Santa Monica Studio in late 2015. That website is now offline.
NerdLeaks and its Twitter account are, at the time of publication, also offline, perhaps as a result of Sony's angry finger wagging. But, as you'd expect, NeoGAF has archived all the images.
So, what do we know? Well, it looks like Kratos can use an axe to cut vines and create bridges and walkways. Environments include Alfheim and "Land of the Fairies", reinforcing the Norse mythology setting.
News that Sony Santa Monica is working on a new God of War comes as no surprise. Back in December 2014, Santa Monica Studio's creative director Cory Barlog confirmed development had begun. At the time he said the new game was not a prequel. A reboot, perhaps?
God of War 4 is expected to launch on the PlayStation 4 - and there are whispers it'll also make use of the extra horsepower of the not so super secret PS4K, too, whenever that comes out.

Isocitrate lyase of conifers (Pinus pinea).
1. Isocitrate lyase has been purified about 60 times from the conifer Pinus pinea. A first characterization was made. 2. The high instability is an important feature of this enzyme from higher plants, this causes serious problems in the purification and characterization. 3. A substantial agreement with the data from the literature was found for what concerns pH dependence of Vmax and pKm, the effect of bivalent cations and the requirement of Mg2+. 4. Kinetic studies gave evidence for a mechanism ordered uni-bi with glyoxylate being the last product released, kinetic constants were calculated, no evidence for cooperative effects was found. 5. Equilibrium constant by Haldane method calculation agrees with value calculated with isocitrate lyase from the bacterium Pseudomonas indigofera. | Pile |
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a control device for a die cushion mechanism which generates a force on a slide of a press machine using a servomotor as a driving source and, in particular, to a control device for controlling the force generated by the die cushion mechanism of the press machine.
2. Description of the Related Art
It is known that a press machine, for press working such as bending, drawing or punching, is provided with a die cushion mechanism as an attached device for applying a predetermined force or pressure, during the press working, to a movable support member (generally called a slide) supporting a first mold for press working, the force being generated by another movable member supporting a second mold. The die cushion mechanism is generally configured such that the slide (or the first mold), moving in a mold-clamping direction, directly or indirectly collides with a movable element (generally called as a cushion pad) held at a predetermined pressure and, until the molding is finished, the cushion pad is moved with the slide while applying force or pressure to the slide. During this operation, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a wrinkle in a workpiece to be pressed by, for example, clamping an area around a site, of the workpiece, to be pressed between the cushion pad and the slide.
Many conventional die cushion mechanisms use a hydraulic or a pneumatic unit as a driving source. However, the control by the hydraulic or the pneumatic unit may be carried out only under a constant pressure. It is preferable that the pressure during drawing is varied corresponding to the amount of the drawing, however, the pressure cannot be varied in the hydraulic or the pneumatic unit.
In recent years, therefore, a die cushion mechanism using a servomotor as a driving source has been used to carry out force control with a high response, as described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 10-202327. In the die cushion mechanism described in this publication, a cushion pad positioned below a slide of a press machine may be upwardly and downwardly moved by a servomotor, corresponding to the rise and fall motions of the slide. The servomotor is activated by a predetermined force command corresponding to the position of the cushion pad and adjusts the force or pressure applied, to the slide, by the cushion pad while moving the cushion pad with the slide. The collision of, and pressure between, the slide and the cushion pad may be determined by detecting a load applied to an output axis of the servomotor via the cushion pad.
In recent press working, it is desired to carry out the press working with a higher accuracy, and at a high speed, in order to improve the productivity. In order to increase a speed of the press working, it is necessary to rapidly accelerate or decelerate the slide during the press working. Also, in controlling the force of the die cushion mechanism, a necessary torque for controlling the force is obtained, as well as another torque for accelerating or decelerating the die cushion such that the motion of the die cushion may follow the motion of the slide. In driving a servomotor in the prior art, a response of the force control is constant without relation to the acceleration or the deceleration of the slide. Therefore, when the slide is gradually accelerated or decelerated, the force may be controlled so as to follow a commanded force. However, when the slide is rapidly accelerated or decelerated, the force is deviated from the commanded force. On the other hand, when a force gain is increased for the rapid acceleration or deceleration of the slide, a problem such as vibration at a low frequency may occur in the machine during the gradual acceleration or deceleration of the slide. Due to this, it is difficult to increase the force gain for rapid acceleration or deceleration. | Pile |
1. Technical Field
The invention relates to vibration damping devices which develop damping performance when being applied to a suspension member, such as for automobiles or other equipment. More particularly, the invention relates to such a damping device using an electrorheological (ER) fluid as the damping medium and having a plurality of spaced electrode bands, which device is of a relatively simple structure, easy to assemble and to apply a voltage to the ER fluid contained therein for changing the damping characteristics of the device.
2. Background Information
Vibration damping devices have been used for considerable periods of time to dampen the vibrational forces applied to the suspension system of vehicles to provide a controlled response by reducing the vibrations caused by road bumps and depressions passing from the tires to the vehicle frame by the interposing of oil-filled shock absorbers or high-pressure gas damping devices.
Although these prior art oil and high-pressure gas damping devices have proven satisfactory, a more recent development has evolved in which an electrorheological or electroviscous fluid is used within the chamber of the damping device, wherein the liquid is in contact with one or more electrodes, usually mounted in a restrictive passage, which depending upon the size of the electrodes and the amount of voltage applied to the liquid, will change the viscosity of the liquid, enabling the damping device to have a greater range of performance characteristics than those achieved by the high-pressure gas or oil-filled shock absorbers.
An example of an anti-vibration device which uses an expandable liquid chamber containing an electrorheological fluid is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,973,031. U.S. Pat. No. 4,858,733 discloses another damping device using electrodes in combination with an electroviscous liquid contained within closed chambers. The liquid is movable through a restricted passage where voltage is applied to the electroviscous liquid as it moves through the passage to change its viscosity to achieve various damping effects. Various other types of such ER vibration damping devices use elastomeric members or sleeves for containing the ER fluid, such as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,180,145. Although these devices have proved satisfactory, they are limited as to the amount of internal pressures available for damping, since the sleeves expand and affect the response time and peak force available.
Therefore, the use of rigid fluid chambers formed of metal have been utilized with ER fluids in order to be able to develop higher internal pressure and quicker response times. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,819,772 and 5,259,487 are believed to be the closest prior art to the vibration damping device of the present invention. The damping devices of both of these patents use an ER fluid which is contained within rigid housings to provide for increased pressures and quicker response time not believed obtainable with ER dampers using an elastomeric sleeve or bellows for the chamber-forming member.
However, the structures of both of these prior art damping devices require a complicated structure consisting of numerous parts in order to achieve the electrical isolation required for applying a voltage to the restricted orifices or ducts through which the ER fluid moves, and requires the passage of the wires applying the voltage to the electrode to pass through the ER fluid chamber. Likewise, the outer body or housing must be of a rigid metal, since this outer housing is connected at one end directly to one of the spaced vehicle components, and therefore must be of sufficient strength to support the various loads and forces applied thereto. An outer end of the piston rod is connected to the other of the spaced vehicle components for mounting the vibration damping device on the vehicle.
All of the known prior art dampers which use an ER fluid use a single continuous electrode which communicates with the ER fluid. It has been found that by providing a plurality of electrodes spaced within the damper that a greater damping force can be produced with the same equivalent electrode length than that with a continuous electrode with approximately the same electrical current and voltage.
Thus, the need exists for an improved vibration damping device, using ER fluids, which is of a simpler construction, which is able to withstand the various loads and forces exerted thereon when mounted between spaced structural components of a vehicle, and which enables a voltage to be applied to a plurality of spaced electrodes contained within the damping device in an easier manner than existing ER fluid dampers. | Pile |
Local Filmmaker Found Dead
Investigations continue into the death of a Northamptonshire woman found at a flat in London.
Paramedics found the body of Robyn Whitehead - granddaughter of the late Teddy Goldsmith - at a flat in Hackney, east London, on Sunday.
It is understood drugs paraphernalia was discovered at the flat, which is reported to have been rented by a friend of controversial singer Pete Doherty.
The 27 year old grew up in Northamptonshire and went to school in Kettering. Miss Whitehead's family told Heart: "Robyn had an exceptional capacity for compassion and for love both to her family and close friends.
"To lose her so young and so far before her life's work was done is heartbreaking."
Scotland Yard said: "Her death is not being treated as suspicious." An inquest has been opened and officials are deciding on a date for a further hearing.
Miss Whitehead worked as a photographer and filmmaker.
The 27-year-old recently completed a documentary film The Road To Albion, which followed Doherty in the years after he left his band The Libertines.
A spokeswoman for the singer said: "Peter Doherty was shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of Robyn Whitehead.
"Peter wishes to convey his condolences to Robyn's family and her close friends at this very difficult time."
Miss Whitehead's mother is Dido Whitehead, the cousin of socialite Jemima Khan and prospective Conservative MP Zac Goldsmith, and her father is 1960s filmmaker Peter Whitehead. | Pile |
The Minnesota Vikings have been building towards a contender for a few years, and national media has taken notice.
It seems like this offseason, the national media has finally taken notice of what the Minnesota Vikings have built. Bucky Brooks of NFL.com gave his ranking of the NFL’s most talented rosters yesterday. The Vikings are the number 5 ranked team on that list.
The teams ahead of the Vikings are Denver, Carolina, Pittsburgh and then Seattle ranks number one. This is great company for the Vikings to be in. It seems like people and media around the country are starting to give the Vikings some respect.
Here is what Brooks had to say about the Vikings.
A lot of the credit for this team being where it is has to go to the front office. Rick Spielman has done right by Mike Zimmer in giving him the right pieces to build this team with. The defense has been the focus for the last couple years, and they are ready to make the jump to Super Bowl contender.
Brooks has shown a liking to the Vikings and what they have done in the last couple seasons on multiple occasions. At this year’s combine, Brooks told the Vikings media team that the team was just a piece or two away. It seems like they got that piece in Laquon Treadwell.
Expect the Vikings to be contending for not just division championships, but Super Bowls for the next few years. This team has been built for a nice run. They will only take another step forward this season. Expect the players Brooks listed as “Risers” to step into the “Blue Chip” column and new “Risers” to step up from this year’s rookie class. | Pile |

As a leader, not just a general, he has worked to get all the necessary resources to get the job done (unlike the smartasses in the Petagon right now), and manage a team of talented but dickheads like Monty, Patton and Charles De Gaulle.

Great Bear Rainforest
Greenpeace fought for a decade to ensure greater protection for the magnificent Great Bear Rainforest, and continues to work with the B.C. government and other partners to ensure the forest’s long-term sustainability.
Stretching along the coast from Vancouver to Alaska, the Great Bear Rainforest is the largest tract of intact coastal temperate rainforest in the world. The forest was threatened by industrial logging and mining. Habitat for elk, eagles and bears was being destroyed.
On March 31, 2009, the B.C. government announced the preservation of 50 per cent of the Great Bear Rainforest, following through on part of its 2006 promise to protect 70 per cent. Greenpeace, our environmental partners, the B.C. government, First Nations and logging companies celebrated. The B.C. government called the agreement the “most significant environmental announcement in the province’s history.” We agree.
The Great Bear Rainforest agreement also includes more restrictive logging regulations, recognizes First Nations as governments and supports sustainable development in First Nations communities. Although many parts of the plan are being implemented, Greenpeace’s campaign to protect the rainforest is not over. The B.C. government has committed to setting aside 70 per cent of the natural level of old growth forest by 2014. We will make sure it does.
How Greenpeace protects the Great Bear Rainforest
Exposing environmental problems: We cast a spotlight on industrial projects that threaten the health of the rainforest.
Pressuring the marketplace: We communicate with companies that buy wood from the rainforest, urging them to use their purchasing power to influence logging practices. We encourage Forest Stewardship Council certification for logging companies.
Supporting communities: We support First Nations in their efforts to diversify their economies and increase their governance over their traditional territories.
Advocating for wildlife and ecosystems: Species in the rainforest are at risk of extinction despite commitments in the agreement. We push for the conservation of habitat.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a shaft encoder. More particularly, the invention relates to a fiber optic converter for such a shaft encoder.
2. Prior Art
Shaft encoders are electromechanical devices which provide electronic representations of the variable properties of a rotating shaft. By properly coupling the input shaft of the encoder, and operating the encoder in conjunction with suitable electronics, the output from the encoder may be made to represent angular or linear position, speed of rotation, direction of rotation, and amount of rotation. Moreover, incremental shaft encoders may provide high-level and/or low-level logic outputs having both single-ended and differential (i.e., complementary pair) signals. A standard connection between an incremental encoder and a shaft control system may be completed using six wires for the three signals (using differential signaling), and another pair of wires for the power supply. However, the problem with these encoders is that in many applications the signal wires are often bundled or cabled along with AC power cables, high-frequency signal cables, and/or other cables that contain high levels of electromagnetic fields. These fields may generate interferences with the encoder signals. Moreover, the encoder signals, if carried for distances exceeding several meters, are susceptible to interference from lightning induced voltages.
To alleviate the problems associated with Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI), differential signaling may be used where two logic signals are separated by 180 degrees in phase. However, even with differential signaling, other problems arise due to the non-isolated nature of these signals, including ground bounce, overshoot, ringing, and ground loops, each generating a unique noise signature and interference signature. Furthermore, the encoder signal may not be completely immune from electromagnetic interferences, especially when the line length becomes longer than a few feet and when these events are generated by lightning. | Pile |

Rep. Ralph M. Hall, R-Texas, is really old.
And in case northeast Texas voters don't know that already, a GOP super PAC wants to remind them.
Now or Never PAC released an advertisement Thursday that featured disco music, a picture of President Jimmy Carter and a narrator declaring, "Now he's 90, the oldest member in Congress ever!"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkDhpXa0_BY
Hall is in a dogfight of a runoff against another Republican, attorney John Ratcliff, on May 27.
Ratcliffe, who is not associated with the ad, denied in a recent interview with Roll Call that he was making Hall's age an issue in the race. But he has alluded to the topic, running a biographical ad that used the word "new" five times.
A spokesman for the super PAC was unable to verify how much money the group put behind the ad, but a GOP source tracking ad buys estimated it to be at least $40,000.
Political ads that underscore a candidate's advanced age through dated music and images are nothing new. But they haven't been that successful, either.
In 2010, California Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman aired a similar ad against Democrat Jerry Brown. The ad opened with 1960s music and images of a vinyl record player.

In 2012, American Action Network, a center-right outside group, revisited the concept with an ad against now-Rep. Rick Nolan, D-Minn., who served in Congress in the 1970s. The ad resembles the anti-Hall spot, featuring disco images and music.

Q:
How do you override a method for a java type instance with Groovy meta programming?
I am trying to override the functionality of a method of a java type instance in my Groovy code but I am getting a classcast exception.
I looked at the guide posted here but I can not get it to work.
Since my actual problem is a bit of mess, below is some runnable example code that fails with the same error.
In the example I want to override the substring method of an instance of the java.lang.String class. In reality I want to override a method of an instance of a class that does not have a corresponding Groovy implementation, so the answer to my example is not to simply use a Groovy string instance.
class example {
static void main(args) {
java.lang.String hey = new java.lang.String("hey")
ExpandoMetaClass emc = new ExpandoMetaClass( java.lang.String, false )
emc.substring = {
"This is not a very good substring implementation"
}
emc.initialize()
def proxiedHey = new groovy.util.Proxy().wrap(hey)
proxiedHey.setMetaClass(emc)
printf proxiedHey.toString()
printf proxiedHey.substring(1)
}
}
The above example fails at line 12, i.e printf meh.toString(). The exception thrown is
Caught: java.lang.ClassCastException:
groovy.util.Proxy cannot be cast to
java.lang.CharSequence at
example.main(test.groovy:12)
So, any ideas on what I am doing wrong or if there is another way to solve my problem of adding and/or overriding methods of a java type instance?
I am using Groovy version 1.7.4.
A:
You are creating an ExpandoMetaClass for java.lang.String, but assigning it to a groovy.util.Proxy. Make a metaClass for groovy.util.Proxy instread, like so:
java.lang.String hey = new java.lang.String("hey")
def proxiedHey = new groovy.util.Proxy().wrap(hey)
ExpandoMetaClass emc = new ExpandoMetaClass( groovy.util.Proxy, false )
emc.substring = {
"This is not a very good substring implementation"
}
emc.initialize()
proxiedHey.setMetaClass(emc)
printf proxiedHey.toString()
printf proxiedHey.substring(1)

Q:
SQL group by year+month, but get months w/o records too
I want to group the content of a table by text and then by year + month and add up the count:
+-------------+---------+----------+----------+

Now I would also like an entry in the result table for the missing months with count 0.
I have read in other threads about temporary tables, but I haven't quite figured out how to make it work.
WITH DATERANGE(LEVEL, TEMP_DATE) AS (
SELECT 1, CURRENT DATE - 5 MONTHS
FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1
UNION ALL SELECT LEVEL + 1, TEMP_DATE + 1 MONTH
FROM DATERANGE
WHERE LEVEL < 1000 AND TEMP_DATE < CURRENT DATE - 1 MONTH
) SELECT TEMP_DATE FROM DATERANGE;
Temporary date table:
+------------+
| TEMP_DATE |
+------------+
| 2013-09-05 |
| 2013-10-05 |
| 2013-11-05 |
| 2013-12-05 |
| 2014-01-05 |
+------------+
How can I achieve this easiest? I'm using DB2.
A:
I would make a temp table with the same sort of values (year and month). Then you can outer join from that to your data table:
select
dt.theyear,
dt.themonth,
sum(t1_count)
from
DateTable DT
left outer join table1 t1
on dt.theyear = t1.t1_year
and dt.theMOnth = t1.t1_month
group by
dt.theyear,
dt.themonth
Here's a SQL Fiddle example (SQL Server, because they don't have DB2, but it should translate just fine):

Q:
Correct Formulation of a map between two measurable spaces
Let $\pi: (X,\mathcal{M},\nu) \to (Y,\mathcal{N},\eta)$ be a measurable map i.e. $\pi^{-1}(E) \in \mathcal{M}$ for all $E \in \mathcal{N}$. I want to define a map from $L^{\infty}(Y,\eta)$ to $L^{\infty}(X,\nu)$. The natural thing to do is the following:
Define a map $\tilde{\pi}:L^{\infty}(Y,\eta) \to L^{\infty}(X,\nu)$ by $$\tilde{\pi}(f)=f\circ\pi,f \in L^{\infty}(Y,\eta)$$
Recall that
$$\|f\|_{\infty}=\inf\left\{\alpha \ge 0: \mu\left(\{x: |f(x)|>\alpha\right)=0\right\}$$
Claim-1: $\tilde{\pi}(f)$ is measurable.
Proof: Let's assume that $\tilde{\pi}(f)$ is real-valued, without any loss of generality. Observe that $\tilde{\pi}(f)^{-1}([a,\infty))=\pi^{-1}\left(f^{-1}([a,\infty)\right)$. Since $f$ is a measurable, $f^{-1}([a,\infty)) \in \mathcal{N}$. Since $\pi$ is a measurable map, $$\tilde{\pi}(f)^{-1}\left([a,\infty)\right)=\pi^{-1}\left(f^{-1}([a,\infty))\right) \in \mathcal{M}$$
Claim-2: $\tilde{\pi}(f) \in L^{\infty}(X,\nu)$
Proof: Observe that for a.e $x \in X$ , we have $|f(\pi(x))| \le \|f\|_{\infty} < \infty$.
At this point of time, I need one assumption that $\pi_{*}(\nu)=\eta$. I don't see how else to move forward without this assumption.
Let $E_{\alpha}=\{x\in X: |f(\pi(x))|\ge \alpha\}$. Let $F_{\alpha}=\{y \in Y: |f(y)|\ge \alpha\}$. Then, $E_{\alpha}\subseteq\pi^{-1}\left(F_{\alpha}\right)$. For $\alpha > \|f\|_{\infty}$, observe that $\eta(F_{\alpha})=0$. Since $\pi^{-1}(F_{\alpha}) \in \mathcal{N}$, we have that $\nu(\pi^{-1}(F_{\alpha}))=0$ and hence $\nu(E_{\alpha})=0$. Thus, $\|\tilde{\pi}(f)\|_{\infty} \le \|f\|_{\infty}< \infty$.
Please let me know if there is something wrong with this proof. Thanks for the help!!
A:
The function $\tilde {\pi} $ is not well defined function unless you make an extra assumption on $\pi$. You need the condition $\nu (\pi ^{-1}(E))=0$ whenever $E \in \mathcal N$ and $\eta(E)=0$. You don't need the stronger assumption that $\eta =\nu \circ \pi^{-1}$.

This time last year, former North Texas rapper Astronautalis had just released his 11-track gem, This Is Our Science. This Friday, he opens for Flobots, a Denver-based prog hip-hop group signed to Motown Records. On his website, Astronautalis encourages you to be proactive: "Their fans are nuts, my fans are nuts...all I'm sayin...might want to buy tickets in advance. Seriously."

FuxaThursday, October 4, at Good Records/Dada
Getting to see Fuxa, the longtime electronic project of Detroit's Randall Nieman, in an intimate space like Good Records should be enough to get the synth-heads out. The group's latest release, Electric Sound of Summer, features vocal contributions from Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips and a cover of Fun Boy Three's "Our Lips Are Sealed," but a decade between albums has given Nieman a chance to fine-tune his ambient sound, and the result is blissful. Austin's All in the Golden Afternoon set the scene. 6 p.m. Catch them later tonight at Dada with New Fumes. -- Audra Schroeder

Aspen Ridge, Saskatoon
Aspen Ridge is a neighbourhood located in northeast Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, construction on which began in 2014. At full build-out, Aspen Ridge will eventually house an estimated 13,000 people. Unlike many of the city's suburban neighbourhoods, it will feature higher density housing on a grid network of roads.
History
The land where Aspen Ridge is located was annexed on August 1, 2010. The first concept drawings of Aspen Ridge (then unnamed) appeared in the University Heights Sector Plan in 2007.
Government and politics
Aspen Ridge exists within the federal electoral district of Saskatoon—University. It is currently represented by Corey Tochor of the Conservative Party of Canada, first elected in 2019.
Provincially, the area is within the constituency of Saskatoon Willowgrove. It is currently represented by Ken Cheveldayoff of the Saskatchewan Party, first elected in 2003.
In Saskatoon's non-partisan municipal politics, Aspen Ridge lies within ward 10. It is currently represented by Councillor Zach Jeffries, first elected in 2012.
Institutions
Education
No plans exist yet for schools in Aspen Ridge. St. Joseph High School and Centennial Collegiate are located in the University Heights Suburban Centre immediately to the south. The nearest elementary schools as of 2019 are located in nearby Evergreen and Willowgrove, though the city's public and separate school boards have yet to indicate where students residing in Aspen Ridge will be bused until such a time as schools are constructed in the community.
Parks and recreation
No plans exist yet for recreation facilities within the community, although the community plan shows the usual allotment of neighbourhood parks. A regional recreation facility, the SaskTel Soccer Centre, is located in the University Heights Suburban Centre to the south. The Forestry Farm Park and Saskatoon Zoo is also in the vicinity. A 24-metre wide Greenway has also been planned abutting the northwest border of Aspen Ridge, designed as a park, stormwater drainage channel, alternative transportation corridor and protective buffer to adjacent Northeast Swale natural area.
Commercial
The neighbourhood concept plan identifies two commercial zones: a mixed-use commercial/residential area on the edge of the community in the southwest corner, and a purely commercial district in the southeast corner. Until such commercial development occurs, the nearest major retail area is several kilometres to the southwest in the University Heights Suburban Centre.
Location
Aspen Ridge is a roughly triangular shaped neighbourhood located within the University Heights Suburban Development Area. It is bounded to the south by the neighbourhood of Evergreen and the University of Saskatchewan Kearnan Farm, with the latter forming a green belt separation between Aspen Ridge and other communities to the south. To the north and east it is bounded by the proposed provincial perimeter highway, and to the north and west it is bounded by the Northeast Swale preserved lands . Its primary road access is via McOrmond Drive from the south and northwest which links to Chief Mistawasis Bridge, connecting to the northwest end of Saskatoon with Agra Road, a grid road, providing access to the perimeter highway to the east, though this road will be removed by further development.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to devices for suspending plants in sunlet areas, and more specifically to frames adapted to be attached to the inside of window frames for suspending potted houseplants adjacent to the glass pane.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A number of plant holders are known in the art. U.S. Pat. No. 172,011 discloses a horizontal rail permanently secured to each side of the window frame and having sliding pot supports disposed thereon. U.S. Pat. No. 328,926 discloses a set of rings for supporting frusto-conical pots in a cantilevered position in front of the window sill. U.S. Pat. No. 342,476 discloses a vertical pole supported by horizontal rods attached to brackets on the window frame and in turn supporting radial clusters of pot-supporting disks. U.S. Pat. No. 2,051,241 discloses a shelf suspended by hooks from the top rail of the lower window sash. U.S. Pat. No. 3,007,582 discloses screw-extensible vertical poles, with extending pegs, for car windows. U.S. Pat. No. 3,978,612 discloses a bracket affixed to the top rail of the lower window sash and pivotally supporting rod members terminating in hooks. U.S. Pat. No. 4,068,761 discloses a vertical spring-loaded pole which stands on the window sill and provides projecting pegs for supporting plants. However, most conventional plant holders suffer from the defect that they interfere with the opening and closing of the window or with the placement of curtains and draperies. Many of them also do not adapt to different sizes of windows. | Pile |
Distribution of the MCS4 RNA genes in mycoplasmas belonging to the Mycoplasma mycoides cluster.
MCS4 RNA is one of the small stable RNAs found in Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capricolum type strain California kid. This RNA has a sequence similarity to that of eukaryotic U6 snRNA. There are two genes encoding MCS4 RNA, designated mcs4a and mcs4b, in the genome. Homologous sequences of these genes were not found in databases of other bacterial sequences. We searched for MCS4 RNA and its genes in other bacteria by PCR and hybridization techniques. The results strongly suggested that this RNA exists only in a limited species of mycoplasmas belonging to the Mycoplasma mycoides cluster. | Pile |

2 for £2 budget beauty buys
BC Body Collection Waterproof Mascara in Navy.
It’s ok for a £1 mascara but it was never initially priced that way. At it’s original RRP of £3.99 it’s poor-average quality based on the fact there are better brands making better mascaras but as a £1 it’s just grand – you get what you pay for. Mine isn’t the “Gold Collection# but that’s all they have left for the moment – same brand, same colour at Fragrance Direct.
Makeup Revolution Lipstick “Rebel with Cause” which is a sumptuous burgundy.
The RRP of this product is £1 and is about right value for money wise. The colour is lovely, rich and glossy and it slides on really nice. It just doesn’t stay there long. One thing is that the case is a little loose and doesn’t “clunk” so I can’t take it anywhere. I’d say if you really need a deep, bold berry shade like this I would buy a more expensive brand like a Chanel or Tom Ford. It will be worth it in the long run. If you just want one for experimenting or wearing for a picture or turning up somewhere then this is a good pick. Just remember to touch it up! Makeup Revolution is on sale in Superdrug and online in their extensive store! | Pile |
Experience of a Maastrich type II non heart beating donor program in a small city: preliminary results.
To study the results of a non-controlled cardiac death (Maastricht type II) donor program in a city of 200,000 inhabitants. The study was initially focused on lung donation and was extended to kidney donation after 9 months. A prospective observational study was conducted between October 2012 and December 2013. The Intensive Care Unit of Marqués de Valdecilla University Hospital in Santander (Spain), and surrounding areas. Patients (< 55 years) who died of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. All out-of-hospital cardiac arrests were treated with mechanical cardiac compression (LUCAS II). The diagnosis of death and organ preservation were performed in the ICU. A total of 14 calls were received, of which three were discarded. Of the 11 potential donors, 7 were effective donors with a median age of 39.5 years (range: 32-48). A total of 5 single lung transplants and four kidney transplants were performed. In addition, corneas and tissues were harvested. The non-valid donors were rejected mainly due to technical problems. There were no donation refusals on the part of the patient relatives. The lung transplant patient survival rate was 100% after one month and 80% after one year. One month after transplantation, the kidney recipients had a serum creatinine concentration of<2mg/dl. The interval from cardiac arrest to renal preservation was 80minutes (range: 71-89), and the interval from cardiac arrest to lung preservation was 84minutes (range: 77-94). A Maastricht type II donation program in a small city is viable for both abdominal and thoracic organs. The program was initially very cautious, but its potential is easily improvable by increasing donor and by equipping mobile ICU ambulances with mechanical cardiac compression systems. Full management of the donor in the ICU, avoiding the emergency department or operating rooms, reduces the warm ischemia time, thereby improving transplant outcomes. | Pile |
An electronic safety system for a vehicle is disclosed. In particular, a device and method for generating alert notifications on board of the vehicle is disclosed. For example, the vehicle may be, but is not limited to, a vehicle for hire.
Vehicles for hire (typically with a driver) such as taxicabs are a commonly-used mode of transportation. Unlike public transport systems such as buses or the subway, a vehicle for hire offers a private ride (i.e. not shared by strangers without any private arrangement). This usually offers greater flexibility for passengers in terms of the pick-up and drop-off locations and travelling hours compared to public transport systems. Due to the non-shared ride offered by vehicles for hire, a passenger may enjoy more privacy and convenience as a result. However, this also poses security and safety risks to the passengers and/or drivers. Since they are confined within a private space within the vehicle, their accessibility to assistance in a timely manner in case of an emergency may be limited. For example, there may be safety concerns for a lady traveller who notices an abnormal behaviour of the driver while she is on board.
Therefore, it would be desirable to provide a safety system and method for use with a hired vehicle to address the above concerns. | Pile |
The ruling allows for one house per 40 hectares over a 4000 hectare block of forestry land.
Most of the island's 250 residents, who are predominantly Māori, have fought the plan for years.
They do not want any development, and say it would intrude on their way of life, push up property rates, put pressure on existing infrastructure and cause ecological damage.
Jason Murray, who has lived all of his life on the island in Tauranga Harbour said residents will stop any development, by any means it takes.
"That's what we have been talking about on the island and everyone said it, that you know, if you guys build it, then we are going to burn it down because of the passion we hold for this island and protecting all the values that make us who we are, the hapu over here, so yeah, we will defend that and if they are going to build it we are going to burn it."
Western Bay of Plenty mayor Ross Paterson said this was in line with the district plan rules on the mainland.
The democratic and legal process had been followed, Mr Paterson said, adding he hoped those opposed to development would not take the law into their own hands.
"That has happened in other parts of the country and I would be disappointed if it was to happen there. I think through this process we have developed a very good understanding with the five sub-hapu out there and I don't really think that would happen in the long term."
For Mr Murray the need to stop any housing development is more than just not wanting to share the island with others.
"The land up there was stolen land, it was confiscated right back in the days [of the land wars] and the people have been fighting to get it back ever since then. That whole place has huge cultural significance and spiritual values out there and there's bones and burial sites that are all scattered through the bush. We are kaitiaki (guardians) of that area to protect it and leave it as it is."
Howard Palmer said 102 extra homes would change the makeup of the community forever.
"I'm against putting a whole new community besides ours where their cultural values and their practices are different from ours and that is what will happen."
Just about all legal avenues of opposition have been exhausted, so direct action might need to be considered, Mr Palmer said.
"And I suppose that could take a whole lot of different forms, but it will not be any action against people, but it certainly may be action against property."
Residents did not want it to come to that but the entire process had been a one-sided affair, he said.
Nessie Kuka, who has lived on Matakana all her life, said they would not just sit by and let the development happen.
"(We're) letting all the real estate agents know and everybody else that we are not happy with anybody building up in that bush, otherwise we would have been there a long-time ago," she said.
Mr Paterson said while the project had been approved, the next step was up to the developers.
"[The project] can now happen, just waiting to see if the two large landowners are ready to go in that direction or whether they wish to keep using it as a commercial forest at this stage."
There is talk of mediation between the two sides, but locals opposed to the development are not holding out much hope because they are in no mood to compromise.
RNZ News was unable to make contact with the two companies, TKC Holdings and Carrus Corporation that own the land. | Pile |

where <latitude> and <longitude> are numbers
To get the geographic coordinates of a postal address, you need to use a geocoder.

Correspondence was lower for REM than for nonREM reports and for longer than for shorter reports from either stage. | Pile |
What do Tashfeen Malik, “Lady Al-Qaeda,” Maryam Jameelah, and the Boston Bomber’s widow all have in common?

Anyone who has studied Islamic terrorist killers and radical Islamic culture knows that this is very unlikely.
Samia Labidi, a French-Tunisian dissident and former Islamist, describes how Tunisian Islamist men infiltrated her family “very softly, by means of marriage.” They also infiltrated universities by promising men to “restore their masculine dominance.” Docile wives and polygamy in a post-feminist age might seem very attractive.
Radical Islam appeals to many men for this reason, among others.
According to Labidi, once an Islamist penetrates a single family, “the next step is to marry off the remaining sisters to Islamists.” As a girl, her brother-in-law had Samia, her sisters, and their mother face-veil and subjected them to nightly at-home “political” meetings based on the Qu’ran. They were indoctrinated to believe that Islamic law “takes care of women and protects them” and that “what is good for Western women is not good for Muslim women.”
Chillingly, Labidi writes that when such Islamists were exiled from their countries of origin they entered Europe and the internet to continue their work on a “global scale.”
Labidi views the Western feminist embrace of a woman’s alleged “religious” right to the burqa as a “betrayal” of feminism.
I totally agree. In my view, whenever burqas, heavy face veils, and dark, Iranian-style head, shoulder, and shapeless body coverings appear in the West, we must consider this as a symbol of radical Islam–or of Islamic Jihad.
Katherine Russell, an American convert to Islam and the widow of one of the Boston bomber’s, wears very heavy head and body coverings as well as dark glasses.
Female Jihadists themselves are often heavily head-, shoulder-, and body-covered, if not face-veiled. Pakistani-born Aafia Siddiqui, “Lady Al-Qaeda,” was a neuroscientist and wore dark head- and body-coverings; Pakistani-born Tashfeen Malik, studied to be a pharmacist. Her hijab is dark, heavy, and decidedly unfriendly.
Perhaps the most interesting (and most mentally unstable and dangerous) female Jihadist was American-born convert Margaret Marcus (Maryam Jameelah), who fled to Pakistan to become a propagandist and translator for Maulana Abul Ala Mawdudi, who adopted Maryam. She helped him as an editor and translator in his influential work which argued the case for militant Islam against the West and which justified Sharia law. Maryam wore an Afghan-style burqa.
Daniel Pipes has argued that the West should ban the burqa for reasons of security, which include crimes committed by men wearing burqas. I have argued for such a ban on the grounds that the burqa and niqab are sensory deprivation isolation chambers and, as such, violate the wearer’s human rights. In addition, the increasing appearance of heavy hijab, niqab (face veils) and burqas on Western streets, psychologically rattles infidel and secular women. First, they cannot free these women—who also function as a warning: If radical Islam succeeds, this can happen to them.
While I don’t think that women are the masterminds behind male Jihadists, I do think that our myths about female pacifism or passivity are dangerous. Women suicide killers and human bombs have a long history of killing civilians, including children, for nationalist and Islamic religious purposes. | Pile |

The Sun in white light
88% waxing, gibbous Moon
A tripod mounted Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ72 bridge camera at 60x optical zoom was used to image the 88% waxing, gibbous Moon. The camera was set to ISO-100 and 1/250s exposure at f/5.9. 101 images, were precisely cropped and registered in Nicola Mackin's AstroCrop software, stacked and wavelet processed in Registax 5.1 with post processing in Photoshop. Click on the image to get a closer view:
Astronomical sketches of the Moon and Sun
The Orion Nebula and the Moon
An LN300 video camera, fitted with an IR/UV cut filter was placed at the Newtonian focus of a Star Discovery, f/5, 150mm Newtonian and 150 frame AVIs were captured at 4 different exposures. The AVIs were stacked in Registax and the resulting images were derotated and stacked in Deep Sky Stacker. The resulting image was post processed in Photoshop:
An animation was made of the separate exposures and the final image to show the information that can be extracted from the images when combined.
The data were captured in a bright, moonlit sky.
A 25mm eyepiece was fitted to the Newtonian and an afocal image of part of the Moon was captured afocally with a Samsung WB600 compact camera. Click on an image to get a closer view:
A Pentax K-x DSLR camera fitted with the lens from a 2x Barlow was attached to the 150mm Newtonian (the Barlow lens is to increase the focal length of the system to allow the camera to be brought to focus). Two sets of 10 images that overlapped were captured at ISO 200 and 1/100s exposure. The two sets of images were stacked in Registax and the resulting images were combined and post processed in Photoshop. The image ws saturation enhanced to reveal the differences in surface mineralogy of the Moon and an animation was made of the saturation enhanced and desaturated images:

Pheretima aspergillum decoction suppresses inflammation and relieves asthma in a mouse model of bronchial asthma by NF-κB inhibition.
Guang-Pheretima, the live form of the earthworm Pheretima aspergillum, is a traditional Chinese medicine commonly used for the treatment of asthma, cough, stroke, epilepsy and other diseases due to its anti-inflammatory, anti-asthmatic, anti-seizure, thrombolytic and diuretic properties. Although Guang-Pheretima is effective in the relief of asthma, its pharmacological activity and the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Hence, we investigated the effects of a Pheretima aspergillum decoction (PAD) against inflammation in a model of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma in BALB/c mice, as well as the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway involved in this process. OVA was used to sensitize and challenge the airway of the mice, and PAD was administrated by gavage. We measured airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in the mice 24h following a final methacholine challenge with whole-body plethysmography. The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), serum and pulmonary tissues were collected 48h after the last challenge. The levels of inflammatory factors and the related mRNAs were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), respectively. The number of differential inflammatory cells in the BALF was counted. Serum total and OVA-specific IgE levels were measured with ELISA. The activation of NF-κB signaling in the lung was detected by western blotting. In addition, the lung tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin or periodic acid Schiff stain for histopathological examination. PAD treatment significantly alleviated AHR in the asthmatic mice, decreased the mRNA and protein levels of IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 and downregulated IgE. In addition, PAD treatment attenuated mucus secretion and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lung while inhibiting the activation of NF-κB signaling. PAD effectively inhibited the activation of NF-κB signaling in the lungs of mice with OVA-induced asthma, and mitigated AHR and Th2 type inflammatory reactions. Therefore, PAD may serve as a drug candidate for asthma treatment. | Pile |

Nipomo, Calif. Mar. 1936. Migrant agricultural worker’s family. Seven hungry children. Mother aged 32, the father is a native Californian. Destitute in a pea pickers camp, because of the failure of the early pea crop. These people had just sold their tent in order to buy food. Most of the 2,500 people in this camp were destitute. Library of Congress.
The photograph that has become known as “Migrant Mother” is one of a series of photographs that Dorothea Lange made of Florence Owens Thompson and her children in February or March of 1936 in Nipomo, California. Lange was concluding a month’s trip photographing migratory farm labor around the state for what was then the Resettlement Administration. In 1960, Lange gave this account of the experience:
I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her, but I do remember she asked me no questions. I made five exposures, working closer and closer from the same direction. I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean- to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me. There was a sort of equality about it.

Prosthetic heart valves can replace defective human valves in patients. For example, one piece valves have been suggested that include sewing rings or suture cuffs that are attached to and extend around the outer circumference of a prosthetic valve. In addition, multiple component valves have also been suggested that include a sewing ring that is separate from a valve component. The sewing rings of either type of prosthetic valve can be tedious and time consuming to secure within a target site, i.e., within an annulus of a heart where a natural heart valve has been removed.
For example, to implant a sewing ring within an annulus of a heart, between twelve and twenty sutures may be secured initially to tissue surrounding the annulus. The sewing ring and/or the entire prosthetic valve may then be advanced or “parachuted” down the sutures into the annulus. Knots may then be tied with the sutures to secure the sewing ring within the annulus, whereupon the sutures may be cut. Consequently, this procedure can be very complicated, requiring management and manipulation of many sutures. The complexity of the procedure also provides a greater opportunity for mistakes and requires a patient to be on cardiopulmonary bypass for a lengthy period of time.
Because the annulus of the heart may not match the circular cross-section of the sewing ring and/or prosthetic valve, the prosthetic valve may not fit optimally within the annulus. As a result, natural blood hemodynamics through and around the valve may be impaired, resulting in clotting, possible emboli production, and eventual calcification of the valve structure.
To address this concern, flexible sewing rings have been suggested for use with multiple component valves. The sewing ring may be implanted within the annulus, e.g., using the procedure described above, i.e., parachuted down an arrangement of sutures. The sewing ring may conform at least partially to the anatomy of the annulus. Alternatively, instead of using sutures, it has also been suggested to drive staples through the sewing ring into the surrounding tissue to secure the sewing ring.
When a mechanical or prosthetic valve is then attached to the sewing ring, however, the valve and sewing ring may not mate together effectively, e.g., if the shape of the sewing ring has been distorted to conform to the annulus, which may also impair natural blood hemodynamics, create leaks, and/or otherwise impair performance of the prosthetic valve. | Pile |
The Love Song of Jonny Valentine: A Novel

One of the most critically acclaimed books of the year, Whiting Award-winner Teddy Wayne’s second novel is “more than a scabrous sendup of American celebrity culture; it’s also a poignant portrait of one young artist’s coming of age” (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times)—and an enduring yet timely portrait of the American dream gone awry.
In his rave on the cover of The New York Times Book Review, Jess Walter praised Wayne’s writing for its “feats of unlikely virtuosity” and the boy at its center as “a being of true longing and depth, and…a devastating weapon of cultural criticism…You’d have to be made of triple platinum not to ache for Jonny Valentine.”
With “assured prose and captivating storytelling” (Oprah.com’s Book of the Week), The Love Song of Jonny Valentine also showcases “one of the most complicated portrayals of the mother-son relationship since Room” (BookPage). Touring the country in a desperate attempt to save a career he’s not sure he even wants, Jonny is both driven by his mother’s ambition and haunted by his father’s absence, constantly searching for a familiar face among the crowds. Utterly convincing, whip-smart, yet endearingly vulnerable, with an “unforgettable” voice (Publishers Weekly, starred review), the eleven-year-old pop megastar sounds “like Holden Caulfield Jr. adrift in Access Hollywood hell” (Rolling Stone).
Called “a showstopper” (The Boston Globe), “hugely entertaining” (The Washington Post), “heartbreakingly convincing” (People), “buoyant, smart, searing” (Entertainment Weekly), and “touching and unexpectedly suspenseful” (The Wall Street Journal), this extraordinary novel has been widely embraced as a literary masterpiece and the rare “satire with a heart” (Library Journal, starred review).
With The Love Song of Jonny Valentine, Teddy Wayne has accomplished two impressive feats. He has created an alternate universe of top 40 pop whose stars, songs and trends feel instantly familiar without being derivative, and he has written a novel for adults but narrated by the consistent and heartbreaking voice of an 11-year-old pop star. | Pile |
Screening, characterization, and cloning of a solvent-tolerant protease from Serratia marcescens MH6.
A solvent-tolerant bacterium strain MH6 was isolated by hydrophilic organic solvent DMSO enrichment in medium and identified as Serratia marcescens. The extracellular protease with novel organic-solvent-stable properties from strain MH6 was purified and characterized. The molecular weight of the purified protease was estimated to be 52 kDa on SDS-PAGE. The open reading frame (ORF) of the MH6 protease encoded 504 amino acids with 471 amino acid residues in the mature protease. Based on the inhibitory effects of EDTA and 1, 10-phenathroline, the MH6 protease was characterized as a metalloproteinase. The enzyme activity was increased in the presence of Ni2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+. The protease could also be activated by the nonionic surfactants Tween 80 (1.0%) and Triton X-100 (1.0%). The protease showed remarkable solvent stability in the presence of 50% (v/v) solutions of long-chain alkanes and long-chain alcohols. It was also fairly stable in the presence of 25% solutions of hydrophilic organic solvents. Due to its high stability in solvents and surfactants, the MH6 protease is an ideal candidate for applications in organic catalysis and other related fields. | Pile |

Q:
How do you get from a byte[] or from a MemoryStream to a System.Windows.Controls.Image in WP7?
I need to make a GET request that requires oauth, for and image to display in a page. Is there a way to do this without building a custom webrequest or httpwebrequest?
A:
If it's an image make sure that you are reading the stream as binary data.
Something like:
var httpRequest = (HttpWebRequest)ar.AsyncState;
var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpRequest.EndGetResponse(ar);
int lengthInBytes = Convert.ToInt32(httpResponse.ContentLength);
BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream());
byte[] imageInBytes = new byte[lengthInBytes];
using (br)
{
for (int i = 0; i < lengthInBytes; i++)
{
imageInBytes[i] = br.ReadByte();
}
}
DispatcherHelper.CheckBeginInvokeOnUI(() =>
{
MemoryStream rawBytesStream = new MemoryStream(imageInBytes);
BitmapImage img = new BitmapImage();
img.SetSource(rawBytesStream);
imageInUI.Source = img;
});

Large animal-related injury requiring hospital admission: injury pattern disparities.
Due to the infrequent occurrence of large animal-related injury (LARI) in many areas, their significance as a public health problem could be overlooked. The purpose of this study was to examine the demographics and injury disparities associated with LARI. The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Nationwide Inpatient Survey from 2001 was used to construct a cohort of patients admitted after LARI. Patients were stratified by age, gender, race, and median household income of patient's zip code. Where available total hospital charges were converted to cost using the hospital's cost-to-charge ratio. To determine variables associated with injury type, univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis were used. 2424 LARI admissions were identified within the database. The largest proportion of admitted patients were female (53.8%), Caucasian (64.6%), and from areas with median income >$45,000 (41.8%). Average hospital cost was $5062. Overall, the most common injuries were rib fractures (15.2%), vertebral fractures (11.6%) and haemo-pneumothorax (9%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that age disparities with older patients receiving more rib fractures, haemo-pneumothorax, vertebral fractures, and pelvic fractures. Skull fractures and head injuries are disproportionately seen in younger patients. Gender disparities were also present, with females more likely to have vertebral fractures but less likely to have rib fractures and heart and lung injuries. Disparities based on age and gender are associated with hospital admission for LARI in the United States. These admissions have a significant impact on the healthcare system with nationwide cost estimates of nearly $60 million. These findings represent potential areas for targeted prevention efforts. | Pile |
Vittilapuram
Vittilapuram is a village in Thoothukudi district, Tamil Nadu, India. It is located on the bank of the Tamirabarani river. It is around 15 kilometers from Tirunelveli junction and 2 kilometers from Vasayappapuram Vilaku on the Tirunelveli-Thoothukudi highway, NH 7A. The place name comes from the Sri Panduranga Vittalar temple. It was built by King Vittalarayar under the jurisdiction of Empire Sri Krishnadeva Rayar in 1547 AD.
Temples
Vittilapuram hosts many temples including Sri Panduranga Vittalar, Virbakasheswar, Vandimalachi Ammam Kovil, Bala Vinayagar, and Tiruvaikuntapathi Swami. The Tiruvaikuntapathi Swami is dedicated to Vishnu. A sacred canal bridge was built in the nineteenth century. It was later replaced.
Sri Panduranga Vittalar temple
Panduranga temple was adorned with Kumbabishekam on 2 July 2009. This was a special occasion as it was celebrated almost after 106 years with the full support of Sringeri Saradha Peetam. This temple has a rich collection of stone carvings. Each Tamil calendar Thai month (January English calendar), Laksharchanai is celebrated. The temple was visited by Great Saints of Maharashtra including Namadev, Duggaram and Haridas Kiri. Two Bahavathamela were organized by Sri Namaji and Sri Ganapathy Duggaram Maharaj, respectively.
Transport
Bus transport is available from Tirunveli.

[Disease, physician-patient contacts and work disability in a general practice].
The frequency of Coronary Heart Disease symptoms (questionnaire from G. Rose) and some risk factors were recorded for 314 men in a general practice as part of a preventive screening programme. Simultaneously the number of physician-patient contacts and the total days of work disability were registered. The patients were divided into four social classes. There was a significant increase of symptoms of autonomic nervous disorder and hyperuricemia (p less than 0,025) as well as the number of smokers (p less than 0,001) with descending social class. The same trend was found with the frequency of physician-patient contacts and the total days of work disability (p less than 0,1). Patients with vegetative symptoms showed a mean of 7,2 physician-patient contacts and a work disability of 37,4 days per year. For patients with abnormal ECG findings the rates were 5,6 contacts and 33,4 days of disability per year. There was a significant difference in these rates compared to a control group. | Pile |

We will continue an analysis of tubulin which has been blocked from polymerization by diamide, NEM and oxidized glutathione. The prime aim is to see whether specific sulfhydryls are involved and whether they include a common set for all agents. This work will involve labelling with radioactive agent and peptide mapping. With diamide we will examine peptide under both reducing and oxidizing conditions and will explore for peptides which show alterations in position. We will explore the site of interaction of NEM and GSSG with an acto-myosin gel obtained from sea urchin eggs which can be induced to contract with these agents. We have characterized the components of the gel and should be able to identify the components alkylated by the sulfhydryl agents. Their separation should allow more incisive understanding of their participation in the contraction phase. In addition, we will investigate the participation of purified thioltransferase on their reaction. We will further explore the site(s) of interaction of NEM with the egg surface, an interaction which leads to exocytosis and vitelling membrane elevation. We will use observations on the limited time necessary for NEM to interact with the surface in order to cause elevation, the minimum concentrations necessary and the fact that iodoacetic acid can block the NEM effect without causing elevation itself. Other projects include studies on the reversible interaction of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase with the egg surface, effects of BCNU and its breakdown products on tubulin and isolation of G-6-PD mutants of CHO cells for studies on the effects of diamide and hydroperoxide on the shape of the cells. | Pile |
Q:
The attribute 'translate' is not allowed in Magento 2.2
I was created simple custom module in magento 2.1. And it's working fine in magento 2.1.9.
But today I tried to installe in magento 2.2 and it's shows this error:
1 exception(s): Exception #0
(Magento\Framework\Config\Dom\ValidationException): Element 'item',
attribute 'translate': The attribute 'translate' is not allowed. Line:
1920
Exception #0 (Magento\Framework\Config\Dom\ValidationException):
Element 'item', attribute 'translate': The attribute 'translate' is
not allowed. Line: 1920
Here is file where generate this error
<referenceBlock name="checkout.root">
<arguments>
...
...
<item name="fee" xsi:type="array">
<item name="component" xsi:type="string">Vendor_Module/js/view/checkout/cart/totals/myfile</item>
<item name="config" xsi:type="array">
<item name="title" xsi:type="helper" translate="true" helper="Vendor\Module\Helper\Data::getCustomText"/>
</item>
</item>
...
...
</arguments>
</referenceBlock>
A:
You are not allowed to use translate attributes for <item> nodes that have xsi:type anything else other than string.
Just remove translate="true" from this line
<item name="title" xsi:type="helper" translate="true" helper="Vendor\Module\Helper\Data::getCustomText"/>
