Q:
MySQL select query with AND condition on same columns of same table
I have a table like this
itemid | propertyname | propertyvalue
___________|______________|_______________
1 | point | 12
1 | age | 10
2 | point | 15
2 | age | 11
3 | point | 9
3 | age | 10
4 | point | 13
4 | age | 11
I need a query to select all items where age greater than 10 and point less than 12.
I tried
`select itemid from table where (propertyname="point" and propertyvalue < 12)
and (propertyname="age" and propertyvalue >10)`
It gives no results. How can I make it work?
A:
you can use an inner join
SELECT
a.itemid
FROM
yourTable a
INNER JOIN
yourTable b
ON
a.itemid=b.itemid
AND a.propertyname='point'
AND b.propertyname='age'
WHERE
a.propertyvalue<12
AND b.propertyvalue>10
ok so in table a youre lookin for all items with the name point and a value smaller 12 and in table b youre looking for all items with the name age and a value greater 10. Then you only have to look for items, which are in both tables. For this you connect the two tables over the itemid. To connect tables you use the join. Hope this will help you to understand. If not ask again :)
| The following query can be used to select all items where age is greater than 10 and point is less than 12 using an inner join:
```
SELECT
a.itemid
FROM
yourTable a
INNER JOIN
yourTable b
ON
a.itemid = b.itemid
AND a.propertyname = 'point'
AND b.propertyname = 'age'
WHERE
a.propertyvalue < 12
AND b.propertyvalue > 10
```
This query connects table a and table b on the itemid, filtering for items that satisfy both conditions specified. |

Organic matter transformations and kinetics during sewage sludge composting in a two-stage system.
The use of different proportions of rape straw and grass as amendments in the composting of dewatered sewage sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant was tested in a two-stage system (first stage, an aerated bioreactor and second stage, a periodically turned windrow). The composition of feedstock affected the temperature and organic matter degradation in the bioreactor and the formation of humic substances, especially humic acids (HA), during compost maturation in the windrow. The total HA content (the sum of labile and stable HA) increased according to first-order kinetics, whereas labile HA content was constant and did not exceed 12% of total HA. ΔlogK of 1.0-1.1 indicated that HA was of R-type, indicating a low degree of humification. Temperature during composting was the main factor affecting polymerization of fulvic acids to HA and confirmed the value of the degree of polymerization, which increased only when thermophilic conditions were obtained. | Organic matter changes and rates during composting of sewage sludge in a two-stage system were investigated, with varying proportions of rape straw and grass used as additives. The study involved an initial aerated bioreactor phase followed by a windrow phase with periodic turning. The mix of materials influenced the temperature and breakdown of organic matter in the bioreactor, as well as the development of humic substances, particularly humic acids (HA), during compost maturation in the windrow. The total content of HA showed an increase following first-order kinetics, with the labile HA remaining relatively constant and not exceeding 12% of the overall HA. A ΔlogK value of 1.0-1.1 indicated R-type HA, reflecting a low level of humification. Polymerization of fulvic acids into HA was primarily influenced by composting temperature, with notable polymerization occurring under thermophilic conditions. |
Discoloration and mineralization of Orange II using different heterogeneous catalysts containing Fe: a comparative study.
Four heterogeneous catalysts containing Fe including a bentonite-clay-based Fe nanocomposite (Fe-B), hematite (alpha-Fe2O3), amorphous FeOOH, and calcined FeOOH (denoted as FeOOH-M) were employed for the photo-Fenton discoloration and mineralization of 0.2 mM Orange II in the presence of 10 mM H2O2 and 8 W UVC at two different initial solution pH values (3.0 and 6.6). It was found that, at an initial solution pH of 3.0, their photocatalytic activities follow the order Fe-B > FeOOH, FeOOH-M > alpha-Fe2O3. When the Fe-B nanocomposite, FeOOH, and FeOOH-M were used as heterogeneous catalysts, both heterogeneous and homogeneous photo-Fenton reactions were responsible for the discoloration and mineralization of 0.2 mM Orange II because homogeneous photo-Fenton reaction occurred due to the presence of Fe ions leached from the catalysts. At an initial solution pH of 6.6, their photocatalytic activities still follow the order Fe-B > FeOOH, FeOOH-M >> alpha-Fe2O3. However, only heterogeneous photo-Fenton reaction accounted for the discoloration and mineralization of 0.2 mM Orange II because Fe leaching from the catalysts was significantly depressed. In the case of alpha-Fe2O3 as a catalyst, whether at an initial solution pH of 3.0 or 6.6, only heterogeneous photo-Fenton reaction happened for the discoloration and mineralization of 0.2 mM Orange II because Fe leaching from the catalyst is negligible. The apparent discoloration kinetics of Orange II with the four catalysts at two different initial solution pH values was also investigated. | Comparison of various Fe-containing heterogeneous catalysts for the discoloration and mineralization of Orange II was conducted in a recent study. Four catalysts, including a Fe nanocomposite based on bentonite clay (Fe-B), alpha-Fe2O3, amorphous FeOOH, and calcined FeOOH (FeOOH-M), were utilized in the photo-Fenton process with 0.2 mM Orange II, 10 mM H2O2, and 8 W UVC at pH 3.0 and 6.6. Results indicated that at pH 3.0, Fe-B exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity, followed by FeOOH, FeOOH-M, and alpha-Fe2O3. Both heterogeneous and homogeneous photo-Fenton reactions contributed to Orange II degradation at pH 3.0 due to Fe ion leaching. At pH 6.6, Fe-B remained the most effective catalyst, while only heterogeneous photo-Fenton reactions occurred, as Fe leaching was reduced. For alpha-Fe2O3, only heterogeneous photo-Fenton reactions were observed at both pH levels due to minimal Fe leaching. The study also investigated the apparent discoloration kinetics of Orange II with the four catalysts at varying pH values. |

Q:
What is the meaning of "spoken of" in the last of a sentence?
I am reading a book, in which there is the following sentence.
Some 150 of them are in the native Army, and beyond being quoted as somewhat dull, are very highly spoken of.
What does spoken of mean, in that sentence?
A:
To be highly spoken of means to be "spoken of in a way that shows admiration or appreciation", "to be held in high esteem". When people are speaking about you in a certain way, that shows their opinion of you. If they speak highly of you, that means their opinion of you is high, i.e. good.
| What is the definition of "spoken of" in the sentence's context?
In the sentence, "spoken of" means to be discussed in a manner that indicates admiration or appreciation and to be highly regarded. It shows how others perceive or talk about someone with respect or esteem. |
Q:
R data frame subsetting based on a column value frequency threshold
I am a new R user and this is my first question submission (hopefully in compliance with the protocol).
I have a data frame with two columns.
df <- data.frame(v1 = c("A", "A", "B", "B", "B", "B", "C", "D", "D", "E" ))
dfc <- df %>% count(v1)
df$n <- with(dfc, n[match(df$v1,v1)])
v1 n
1 A 2
2 A 2
3 B 4
4 B 4
5 B 4
6 B 4
7 C 1
8 D 2
9 D 2
10 E 1
I want to delete rows that exceed a threshold of 3 occurrences for a value in v1. All rows for that value less than the threshold are retained. In this example I want to delete row 6 and retain all remaining rows in a subset data frame.
The result would include the following values for v1:
v1
1 A
2 A
3 B
4 B
5 B
6 C
7 D
8 D
9 E
Row 6 would have been deleted because it was the 4th occurrence of "B", but the 3 previous rows for "B" have been retained.
I have read multiple posts that demonstrate how to remove ALL rows for a variable with row totals less/greater than a cumulative frequency value, such as 4. For example, I have tried:
df1 <- df %>%
group_by(v1) %>%
filter(n() < 4)
This approach keeps only the rows where all unique occurrences of V1 are < 4. 6 rows are subset.
df2 <- df %>%
group_by(v1) %>%
filter(n() > 3)
This approach keeps only the rows where all unique occurrences of v1 are > 3. 4 rows are subset.
df4 <- subset(df, v1 %in% names(table(df$v1))[table(df$v1) <4])
This approach has the same result as the first approach.
None of these methods produce the result I need.
As previously stated, I need to retain the first three rows where v1="B" and only delete rows if there are > 3 occurrences of that value.
Because I am new to R, it's possible I am overlooking a very simple solution. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
A:
Using dplyr's top_n:
df %>% group_by(v1) %>% top_n(3)
| You can achieve the desired result by using dplyr's top_n function like this: df %>% group_by(v1) %>% top_n(3) |

β2-adrenergic receptor activation promotes the proliferation of A549 lung cancer cells via the ERK1/2/CREB pathway.
Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide and accounts for 28% of all cancer-related deaths. The expression of the β2‑adrenergic receptor (β2‑AR), one of the stress‑inducible receptors, has been reported to be closely correlated with malignant tumors. However, the role of β2‑AR activation in human lung epithelial‑derived cancer A549 cells and the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In the present study, we found that activation of β2‑AR but not β1‑AR promoted the proliferation of A549 cells. Isoproterenol (ISO) stimulation of β2‑AR induced extracellular signal‑regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element‑binding protein (CREB) phosphorylation. Blocking the ERK1/2 pathway by U0126 inhibited CREB phosphorylation and also suppressed A549 cell proliferation. Moreover, ISO treatment enhanced the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family proteins such as MMP‑2, MMP‑9, and also vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which were able to be blocked by knockdown of CREB. In conclusion, our data revealed that β2‑AR induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation which in turn activated CREB to promote A549 cell proliferation. These findings elucidate potential therapeutic targets for lung cancer treatment. | Activation of the β2-adrenergic receptor stimulates the growth of A549 lung cancer cells through the ERK1/2/CREB pathway.

While the role of β2-AR activation in A549 cells remains unclear, our study demonstrated that only β2-AR, not β1-AR, enhances cell proliferation. Stimulation of β2-AR with isoproterenol triggers ERK1/2 and CREB phosphorylation. Inhibiting the ERK1/2 pathway suppresses cell proliferation by blocking CREB phosphorylation. Isoproterenol treatment also increases the expression of MMP proteins and VEGF, which is inhibited by CREB knockdown. This research uncovers potential therapeutic targets for lung cancer treatment. |

This portrayal is intriguing, as Mr. Akbar surprisingly demonstrates his backing for the Kashmiri and Palestinian populations and their quest for autonomy. |
One Facebook post is getting some attention over what its writer says her son will NOT learn - to read.. In a lengthy post that's going viral, Crystal Lowery declares that she will not teach her 5-year-old son, John, to read just yet, saying that, despite some parental pressures to get ahead, there are more important things to learn first.. She writes that even if he doesn't show up to the first day of kindergarten with, "advanced reading skills...he will come to the classroom with so much more.". She says she's focused, for now, on helping John be a person, how to be a good sport and how to be patient.. She writes: "There is so much our children learn that cannot be measured with a standardized test. And though someday his hours will be filled with phonics and penmanship, and fractions, we aren't worried about all that today. Today he has more important things to learn." | One Facebook post is gaining attention for its author's decision not to teach her son how to read.

Lowery aims to prioritize teaching John qualities like sportsmanship, patience, and basic life skills before introducing formal academic subjects. She stresses the importance of recognizing that children learn invaluable lessons beyond what can be assessed by standardized tests, emphasizing the need to focus on fundamental life skills before academic achievements. |

Remember Richard Goldstone and his partial change of mind (or whatever it was) a couple of weeks ago? In a devastating rejoinder Hina Jilani, Christine Chinkin and Desmond Travers, the other three of the four members of the UN fact-finding mission to Gaza, May-September 2009, and co-authors of The Goldstone Report have issued a statement as they “find it necessary to dispel any impression that subsequent developments have rendered any part of the mission’s report unsubstantiated, erroneous or inaccurate”. See it here as Goldstone without Goldstone.
Veteran journalist and peace activist Uri Avnery describes Israel as The Settler State.The settlers “can do whatever they want: build new settlements and enlarge existing ones, ignore the Supreme Court, give orders to the Knesset and the government, attack their “neighbors” whenever they like, kill Arab children who throw stones, uproot olive groves, burn mosques. And their power is growing by leaps and bounds…”
He promises to show, in a future article, how the settlements can be removed…
In the occupied territories it is business as usual. In the denial of Palestinian human rights under occupationSarah Leah Whitson of Human Rights Watch brings the occupation down to its reality as a massive infringement of human rights and theft of Palestinian property: “in the areas of the Occupied Palestinian Territories where Israel has moved almost half a million Jewish “settlers,” not only do Israeli laws and policies strictly segregate Jews from Palestinians, they deliberately deprive Palestinians of the most basic needs, in many cases forcing them out of their communities.”
Following the dreadful murders in Itamar it is, unfortunately, collective punishment in the nearby village of Awarta. Noam Sheizaf reports on the thousands of members of the IDF and Shin Beit who have occupied the village, arrested and interrogated hundreds (including women), taken the DNA of all men aged 15-40, and searched and damaged many homes.
In Israel too the right is excelling itself. Or Kashti reports that the Education Ministry’s plan for the coming school year does not include civics, democratic values or Jewish-Arab coexistence…:“This is education for Zionism and Judaism without education for democracy and peace, and it promotes ultra-nationalism,” said University of Haifa Prof. Gavriel Solomon, an Israel Prize winner in the field of education.
Brigitte Herremans, Middle East policy officer for the Belgian development NGO Broederlijk Delen and peace movement Pax Christi Flanders, assesses the prospects of some sort of rapprochement between Hamas and Fatah and places developments there in a wider international context.
Recently an “expansion” in Israel studies at London’s SOAS, and “a new European Association of Israel Studies (EAIS) to be launched in September, were announced. Is the new vogue for Israel studies an academic development or Israel advocacy?Ben White sees this as an attempt to stem the tide as the international BDS movement grows; Antony Lerman asks where advocacy stops and completely disinterested academic sponsorship begin; and the Reut institute’s Eran Shayshon sees “a very small number of radical ideologues [who are] effectively blurring the lines between legitimate criticism over Israeli policy and the assault on Israel’s legitimacy by engaging wider audiences in ‘acts of delegitimization’, such as the BDS Movement and believes Israel studies will show that “Israel is first and foremost a normal country, a democracy that is struggling for its survival in an impossible reality”.
In the States, Aipac spends money to buy support among US students. The Vanguard Leadership Group of African American students is placing ads in student newpapers attacking the term ‘apartheid’ as describing the treatment of Arabs in Israel. AIPAC has been encouraging this group for some years. The ad is misleading as ‘apartheid’ clearly describes the physical separations enforced in West bank and Gaza, whereas the ad refers to Israel itself…

Q:
How to comunicate between client and server using TCP? send commands/receive data?
How can I send commands to the client over the tcp from the server .
How can I receive some information about the client's host when he's connected to server?
For example : Open apache,cmd etc..
Atm the only code I have made is for connecting to the server but I'm not sure how to send some data to the client for executing it.
Could someone help me with this?a tutorial or explanation?
A:
What you are talking about doing is going to require some sort of server/client setup. You will need to write an application that will listen on the TCP ports and take in the commands that are being sent. It is best to use a specific port and just listen to that port for incoming commands.
My question is this though, why do you need to open a cmd on a remote machine? I think most operating systems will disallow this and there does not seem to be much use for this above causing havoc.
| How can I establish communication between a client and server using TCP? How do I send commands to the client from the server and receive data in return?
To achieve this, you would need to set up a server-client architecture. Develop an application that listens on specific TCP ports to receive and execute commands. It is advisable to designate a particular port for handling incoming commands.
However, I am curious about your need to remotely open a command prompt on a client's machine. This action is typically restricted by most operating systems and could potentially lead to disruptive outcomes rather than beneficial ones. |

Most Creative People 2010. 45. Tom Ford. Fashion Designer Filmmaker. Tom Ford recently described his directing style to Gus Van Sant: "Give me the control, don't ever come on the set, and I'll show it to you when it's cut." Control comes naturally to Ford, 48, both in film--his first movie, A Single Man, was nominated for three Golden Globes and an Oscar--and in the eponymous menswear label and accessories line he launched after leaving Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. Ford's meticulous sets and wardrobe for the '60s-era drama were natural extensions of his neurotic zeal for every element of his growing brand. (He dictates the types of flowers that can appear in his stores and art-directs his own ad lay-outs.) But he surprised everyone with the inspired performances he summoned from actors Colin Firth and Julianne Moore. What's next? A much anticipated women's line and a second film project.. Add New Comment | Most Innovative Individuals in 2010. 45. Tom Ford. Designer and Filmmaker. Tom Ford recently explained his directing approach to Gus Van Sant: "Grant me full authority, refrain from set visits, and I'll share the final product with you post-editing." Ford, now 48, effortlessly commands authority in both filmmaking - his debut feature, A Single Man, received three Golden Globe nominations and an Oscar nod - and in his namesake men's clothing and accessories brand following his departure from Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. Ford's attention to detail in the film's 1960s-themed settings and costumes was a direct reflection of his meticulous dedication to every facet of his expanding business. (He stipulates the types of flowers allowed in his stores and oversees his ad layouts.) He pleasantly surprised audiences with the outstanding performances he elicited from actors Colin Firth and Julianne Moore. What comes next? The highly anticipated launch of a women's collection and a second cinematic endeavor. |

Trump hires very best, greatest net neut haters to head FCC transition - DemiGuru
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/11/21/trump_fcc_net_neutrality_haters/
======
condescendence
While I agree with net neutrality, the internet as we know it is far from this
model right now. Most people think of this issue as 'protecting' net
neutrality, instead its more of the argument of should we move to net
neutrality.
Content providers are more often than not stationing themselves at your ISP;
this means that likely have a node of distribution at your ISP's datacenter or
somewhere that openpeers with your ISP.
Who knows, maybe net neutrality isn't the answer we need to keep the internet
open/neutral. Regardless of law, large corporations will always have a leg up
on distributing their services because of their ability to easily ship out
servers to datacenters. ISP's are likely to accommodate certain services over
others because of user demand.
I think ISP competitiveness and more open peering contracts are the true
solution to what we want, the issue here is local bylaws preventing new ISP's
from entering the market (at least in the US). In my small city, we have a
single internet provider that's protected by a cable coalition...many of the
board members are past employees, family members, or have interest with that
ISP. So I think all in all, targeting these local laws is the first step to
net neutrality.
I'm not sure about all this yet, just my 2cents.
*fixed spelling
| Trump has enlisted top opponents of net neutrality to lead the transition at the FCC - DemiGuru.
While I support the concept of net neutrality, the current state of the internet does not fully align with this ideal. Rather than solely focusing on 'protecting' net neutrality, the debate should consider whether we should transition to this model.
Content providers frequently position themselves within your internet service provider (ISP), often establishing a node of distribution in the ISP's data center or at a location that peers with the ISP.
It is possible that striving for net neutrality may not be the ultimate solution to maintaining an open and neutral internet. Despite regulations, major corporations hold an advantage in delivering their services due to their capacity to easily deploy servers to data centers. ISPs may prioritize certain services over others based on user demand.
Enhancing ISP competition and fostering more open peering agreements could be key to achieving our goals. The challenge lies in local regulations that hinder the entry of new ISPs into the market, at least in the United States. In my town, a single ISP is safeguarded by a cable alliance, with many board members being former employees, relatives, or having vested interests in the ISP. Therefore, addressing these local laws is crucial in advancing towards net neutrality.
I remain somewhat uncertain about this matter, but these are my initial reflections. |

The thoughts and fears in our head. When we are ready, will be shed. Unlike chaff from the wheat. It does not require ourselves to beat.. Carried carefully through every day. It is them who are most in our way. In our mind they grow tall. Nourished and fed one and all. They need not be harvested. It is best if they are divested. Sill each time one forms. It takes room in the dorms. That we foster and planed. And give energy to expand. Let these thoughts not stay. You need not listen to their bay. They should be held then released. If they are famished you will feast. They will know many guises. So acknowledge them not as surprises. You can not be just one way. Else you not bend when paths stray | The thoughts and fears that occupy our minds will be let go when we're prepared, similar to separating chaff from wheat without the need for self-criticism. These thoughts can hinder us daily as they thrive in our minds, growing and being sustained. Instead of holding onto them, it's beneficial to let them go. Every time a thought arises, it occupies space in our minds, draining our energy. It's important to acknowledge and release these thoughts without allowing them to linger. By doing so, you'll benefit from a sense of relief and clarity, as these thoughts come in various forms and should not catch you off guard. Remaining flexible and adaptable is key to navigating life's unpredictable paths. |

What is 2+2 in base three?
I believe it to be 4 in any number system because a one-digit number
(x) in any base will be (x) times (the base to the zero power), or 1.
My teacher disagrees and says that she is sure that it isn't 4.

Hi, Hannah.
You have to start by distinguishing a number from a numeral (a way of
writing a number). The sum 2+2 is always equal to the NUMBER 4; the
only question is how to WRITE this number in base 3. In base 3, you
count
1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 20, 21, ...
because "11" in base 3 means 1 three and 1 one. This, therefore, is
how you write 4 in base 3. So the answer is, 11 (base 3).
The problem with saying that the answer is 4 is that, in base 3, there
is no symbol 4. Similarly, I could claim that in base ten, 6 + 6 = C,
because I am familiar with the base 16 system in which C is the digit
for twelve. To you, C is not a digit at all, so my answer is
meaningless to you - in base ten. I can't use C to write in base ten,
and you can't use 4 to write in base 3.

What is 2+2 in base three?
I understand 2+2 to be 4 in any number system, as a single digit (x) in any base corresponds to (x) times the base raised to the power of zero, which equals 1.

Hello, Hannah.
It is important to differentiate between a number and a numeral (the representation of a number). The result of 2+2 is always the NUMBER 4; the issue lies in how to EXPRESS this number in base 3. In base 3, the counting sequence is
1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 20, 21, ...
since "11" in base 3 denotes 1 three and 1 one. Accordingly, this is the representation of 4 in base 3. Thus, the answer is 11 (base 3).
Claiming that the answer is 4 is problematic because, in base 3, there is no symbol 4. Similarly, I could argue that in base ten, 6 + 6 = C, based on my understanding of the base 16 system where C represents twelve. However, for you, C is not a valid digit, rendering my response meaningless in base ten. Just as I cannot use C to write in base ten, you cannot use 4 to represent a number in base 3.

Wes Siler, an experienced outdoorsman, thinks that Silicon Valley billionaires are prepping for the apocalypse all wrong. (This will probably make more sense if you read the article he’s responding to, although Siler’s post does a decent job summarizing. The really short version: Peter Thiel is not the only venture capitalist with a fortified luxury bunker in remote New Zealand.)
Here is the thrust of Siler’s critique:
Predicating survival scenarios on the successful execution of a complicated series of events is a recipe for failure. By their very nature, these big, hypothetical disasters would create chaos and undo societies. […] A powerful individual may assume the politicians he buys will be polite enough to give them advance warning of a pending disaster, thereby enabling them to flee in plenty of time. But, even if the political will is there, an event like a polar shift may come without warning.
Siler suggests that “[d]eveloping experience with a wide range of real-world capabilities is the key to effective survival preparation.” Unlike the cagey tech moguls, Siler keeps no secrets about his methods:
I’m happy to share my doomsday survival plan. I spend my time developing fitness, recreating outdoors, and making stuff with my hands. I know I can navigate through the wilderness, because that’s just a fun weekend for me and my dog. I know I can set a broken arm, because I’ve set mine. I know I can build a house, because that used to be my job.
(Before we switch to my commentary, I have a few more links for those of you who find this topic interesting: BuzzFeed on Trump-inspired liberal preppers, Vocativ on similar liberal preppers, Chicago Magazine on affluent suburban preppers, Slate on prepper fiction as Americana, and Wes Siler again, on his distaste for Bear Grylls’ advice. I’ve read more about this than I realized!)
Broadly, I agree with Siler. Learning how to be a self-sufficient backpacker is less glamorous than financing an opulent bug-out mansion manned by solar-powered Roombas, but it’s more likely to keep you alive in the event of a disaster. He’s also correct that camping skills can be useful on a day-to-day basis, unlike a cellar full of canned caviar and Soylent.
Of course, if you’re a billionaire, assembling a doomsday plan fit for Tony Stark is primarily a hobby. The techies interviewed by the New Yorker come across as earnest, but my guess is that the average prepper (from any economic stratum) is unconsciously optimizing for entertainment value rather than effectiveness.
Most of us don’t take preppers seriously. We tend to see it as silly when they spend time and money planning for a highly unlikely scenario, such as total economic collapse (in a First World country, anyway) or an earthquake so devastating that civilization is wholesale destroyed. Their priors on the plausible scope of various catastrophes are skewed, and they must be falling for Pascal’s Mugging.
On the other hand, I always worry about normalcy bias — the tendency to believe that things will always be the way they’ve been in your experience. How can you tell when you’re succumbing to normalcy bias, versus rationally judging that something is too unlikely to be worth preparing for?

The combining form uni- does indeed normally mean 'one, having or consisting of one', coming as it does from Latin unus 'one'. And the OED contains entries for unisexual and unisexuality which are older than unisex and have the meanings one would expect.. Unisex was coined in the 1960s for use in relatively informal contexts, and seems to have been influenced by words such as union, united, universal, giving the sense 'shared' rather than 'single'.

Michael J. Fox Gets His Hollywood Star
There's a new star on Hollywood Boulevard, and it belongs to Michael J. Fox.
The "Family Ties," Back to the Future" and "Spin City" favorite, 41, was honored with his own star on Hollywood's legendary Walk of Fame. At its unveiling Monday, he said: "Acting is a great thing to do for a living, to do something you love, and to hear all the time that maybe you've done something to make people happy."
His production company, Lottery Hill Entertainment, recently sold a pilot to ABC for a sitcom about a retired hockey player's transition to fatherhood. "It's no more than that, and it's no less than that. It's just that, and it's great," Fox told reporters at the Hollywood ceremony, according to the Associated Press.
Fox's star is the 2,209th such plaque on the pavement. His spot is in front of the Hollywood Galaxy Theatre complex.
Fox, who has Parkinson's disease, has been devoting time to campaigning for funding for research into the illness, with which he has lived for more than 10 years. He first revealed that he has Parkinson's just over two years ago in PEOPLE.
Much of his acting work is now is focused on voiceover work for such animated films as "Stuart Little" and "Atlantis: The Lost Empire."
This year, his autobiography, "Lucky Man" (in which he revealed how his disease nearly destroyed his marriage after he turned to drinking after the diagnosis), spent 21 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list. | Michael J. Fox Receives Hollywood Walk of Fame Star

It was alot of walking for us, but so worth it!! Below are a few pictures I took while in DC:. Lincoln Memorial. Elysse and I. Praying at the wall. Ellen and I. Washington Monument. Steven Reyes sleeping... hehe | I had the chance to travel to Washington, D.C. with the Sliker family, Brent and KJ Steeno, and all the ATC interns and counselors, which was a fantastic experience for everyone involved. The journey itself was enjoyable as we watched movies, listened to music, and engaged in conversations. We spent a total of two weeks there, assisting with preparations for the event and participating in prayer walks. Additionally, we visited the Holocaust museum, Lincoln Memorial, air and space museum, and other museums, which involved a lot of walking but was well worth it. During our time there, I captured several pictures, including those of the Lincoln Memorial, moments with Elysse and Ellen, and a humorous shot of Steven Reyes sleeping. |

The top guesses as to who Landon Kirby really is on ‘Legacies’
As we all saw in the Legacies series premiere, “sweet” Landon is really a supernatural knife-carrying thief who blows up buses. He was clearly playing Hope all along (I think?) Does this mean he is malicious? Or, is he a supernatural creature trying to find more about himself and killed a bus full of people on accident? My guess is the former. And what does he claustrophobic flashback have to do with it all?!
Salvatore descendent
Landon was super interested in the Stefan Salvatore library, so maybe he knew what the knife really was/what it could do. Why else would he have chosen to take that specific item? Maybe the item can only be triggered by someone of a certain bloodline? Who knows!
Just a messenger for the real villain?
Maybe “Landon” is working for the show’s real big-bad? If he’s really been playing Hope since their dance in the park in The Originals, this was a long game he was playing (possibly with someone else). He would know that Hope and Co. would come for Rafael, so maybe he attached himself to Rafael for that specific reason, trying to appear as an innocent bystander when Hope and Ric showed up to retrieve him… and took him to the school.
A hunter
Jeremey Gilbert (played by Steven R. McQueen) is confirmed to appear on the series, and it could be to help out Landon (if he’s a hunter.) For you newbs to the TVD, a hunter is “a person that hunts vampires or hybrids usually with the intention of permanently destroying them.” (Thanks, TVD Wikia) Double thanks to Twitter for helping with this prediction!
There’s only one other person who’s faked us out before this good…
This is a long shot, but if Landon was part of the Petrova doppleganger bloodline I WOULDN’T BE MAD.
Now here’s the twist
First, let me explain: Katherine Pierce/Katerina Petrova had a daughter, thus how Elena Gilbert came about on TVD. So, it IS possible that Landon could be a part of that line somehow (I’m sure the writers could come up with a family tree of some sort.) Petrovas are Travelers, meaning they can body jump and do fancy shit like that. So, a couple of options here:
Landon is really a Traveler. Honestly, I only wish this so he could be related to Katherine somehow, and we have a “male version” of a Katherine on this show. She was DELICIOUSLY evil, and I lived for it.
What if Landon WAS the real sweet Landon during the dance in the park… but a Traveler jumped into his body to take the knife because they needed it for their own evil agenda? Honestly, I’d like it better if Landon himself had his own supernatural twist outside of being a vessel for someone else’s evil-doings. We shall see!
I think I’ve confused us all enough for now—who do you think Landon really is? Sound off in the comments below, and tweet me @lizprugh@Pure_Fandom.
Liz is the co-founder of PureFandom.com, an always aspiring #fiercefemale, and loves geeking out over any and all sci-fi/fantasy. She believes Luke Skywalker is the most underrated Jedi and still thinks vampires are cool. She hosts several Pure Fandom podcasts on The World of Game of Thrones, The CW's 'Roswell, New Mexico', and Star Wars. You can find her currently covering 'Legacies'. Nerd out with her on Twitter @lizprugh. | Potential Identities of Landon Kirby on 'Legacies'
In the debut episode of Legacies, we discovered that Landon poses as a gentle soul but is actually a mystical thief wielding a dangerous knife and causing bus explosions. Was his flirtation with Hope merely a ruse? Is he intentionally malevolent or perhaps an otherworldly being seeking self-discovery, inadvertently causing the bus tragedy? Some speculate the former. Additionally, how does his unsettling flashback tie into the mystery?
Intriguing Ties to the Salvatore Legacy
Landon's fascination with the Stefan Salvatore library hints at a deeper connection to the mysterious knife's true nature and capabilities. Why select that specific artifact unless he understood its significance? Could its powers only be unleashed by someone of a specific lineage?
Deceptive Pawn or Sinister Collaborator?
Is it conceivable that "Landon" is working on behalf of the series' true antagonist? If his manipulation of Hope dates back to their encounter in The Originals, it suggests a long-term strategy, possibly in cahoots with another party. By aligning himself with Rafael, was he aiming to deceive Hope and Ric when they came for him, ultimately leading them to the school?
A Potential Hunter?
With Jeremy Gilbert's upcoming appearance, speculation arises about Landon's potential ties to the hunter lore from The Vampire Diaries. Could Jeremy be aiding Landon, assuming he is a hunter seeking to eliminate vampires and hybrids?
A Petrova Connection?
Considering the surprise reveals in the past, some wonder if Landon could be linked to the Petrova doppleganger bloodline, a scenario that intrigues many fans.
An Unexpected Revelation
Is it conceivable that Landon, perhaps unknowingly, is part of the Petrova lineage, with connections to Travelers who possess unique abilities like body-jumping? Could Landon's true nature involve a supernatural twist independent of being a vessel for others' malevolent intentions?
As the mystery deepens, what are your thoughts on Landon's true identity? Share your speculations below and connect with me on Twitter @lizprugh@Pure_Fandom. |

Ratchet & Crank Experimental MechanismSun, 5 Apr 2015. Sometimes I like to make mechanisms purely for mechanisms sake – they often find their own place in future models and it is fun to experiment.. This latest mech is a way of producing a reduced output speed on a model. It uses a modified version of a ratchet mech that I used before here. I’ve linked the ratched to a crank as the main drive.. You can see the prototype in animated action here.. There is a twenty toothed ratchet gear hidden inside this box. The box serves to hold the ratchet tooth strips up against the gear wheel. The gear fits in here.. Part of the delight in paper animation kits is seeing how they work and this model unfortunately has the mechaniam hidden away.. The next stage prototype will feature this gear wheel which is both slightly larger (thirty teeth) and more visible. I’ll post more details of this new version as the model progresses.. | I enjoy creating mechanisms for the sake of innovation, as they often find their way into future projects. The latest mechanism I've developed is designed to reduce output speed in a model. It incorporates a modified ratchet mechanism linked to a crank as the primary driver.

I find joy in exploring the inner workings of paper animation kits, even though this particular model conceals its mechanism. The upcoming prototype will showcase a larger, more visible gear wheel with 30 teeth. Stay tuned for further details on this evolving version. |
Description. Located in Franklin County, Tennessee and in Jackson County, Alabama, The Walls of Jericho is comprised of large, intact and protected forestlands within the Southern Cumberland Mountains. Originally part of a larger property acquired by Texas oil magnate Harry Lee Carter in the 1940s, the Tennessee side of the property was managed by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) for public recreation until a private timber firm closed the area in 1977.. In 2004, The Nature Conservancy took ownership and permanently reopened this 21,453-acre area that straddles the Alabama and Tennessee border. Soon after, Alabama’s Forever Wild Program purchased the 12,500-acre Alabama section of the property to expand the Skyline Wildlife Management Area, which is open for public access. Later, in 2006, TNC transferred the 8,943-acre Tennessee tract to TWRA, along with an additional 5,400 acres to the north, to establish the Bear Hollow Mountain Wildlife Management Area. | The Walls of Jericho is situated in Franklin County, Tennessee, and Jackson County, Alabama.

Given the cost of building and running data centers, it makes sense to get rid of some of them.. The U.S. government has been trying to do so. The General Accounting Office in July reported that it closed 64 data centers since the beginning of the year and was on track to close 1,055 data centers by September 2014. However, by changing its definition of "data center" to include smaller operations not previously counted, the government reported it had about 3,700 more data centers than its prior estimates.. Analyst firm Gartner in December reported that businesses in general have too many data centers in too many countries, and it started recommending that its customers keep only two sites on each continent, unless required for disaster recovery or business continuity purposes. | Due to the high costs associated with building and managing data centers, it is sensible to reduce their number.

The present invention relates to a method of feeding a specific length of wrapping paper to a packaging section in a coin packaging machine and a device for carrying out the method.
Hitherto known method and device for feeding a specific length of wrapping paper to a packaging section where a predetermined number of stacked coins are packaged with the wrapping paper are constructed such that a cycle of wrapping paper feeding operations are generally carried out by way of the steps of forwarding a strip of wrapping paper drawn out from a wrapping paper roll to the packaging section by means of a pair of wrapping paper feeding rollers along a guide wall of a wrapping paper guide passage, firmly holding the leading end part of the forwarded wrapping paper by pressure contact of a plurality of wrapping rollers with a stacked structure of coins which are caused to rotate by the latter so as to tightly stretch the wrapping paper between the wrapping paper feeding rollers and the wrapping rollers, cutting off it to the specific length by thrusting it against a cutting knife and allowing the specific length of wrapping paper to be wound round the stacked structure of coins.
In the conventional method and device the specific length of wrapping paper to be wound round the stacked structure of coins is determined by the length of the wrapping paper guide passage extending from the cutting knife and the packaging section.
In such a country as Japan where there is only an appreciable difference in diameter among plural kinds of current coins packaging operations are practiced without any particular difficulty even though a constant length is employed for all wrapping papers to be used. To the contrary, in other countries, for instance, England where there is a substantial difference in diameter among current coins it is necessary to make an adjustment with respect to a required length of wrapping paper in dependence on the diameter of coins to be packaged.
To fulfill the above necessity there were proposed various methods. One of them is such that the position where the cutting knife is mounted is displaced along the wrapping paper guide passage depending on the selected diameter of coins. Other one is such that the cutting knife is stationarily mounted but the guide wall of the wrapping paper guide passage is divided into two parts at a predetermined position one of which is adapted to be displaced from the initial position in dependence on the selected diameter of coins so as to change the working length of the wrapping paper guide passage. Another one is a combination of the above-described methods.
Due to the arrangement made for the conventional methods, complicated displacement or adjustment mechanisms such as mechanism for displacing the cutting knife in the direction of feeding of the wrapping paper, a mechanism for displacing one of a pair of wrapping paper guide walls to a directional position different from that of the other one and others are required. In case of the conventional method in which one of the pair of wrapping guide walls is displaced to a directional position different from that of the other one it is found that a smooth and continuous wrapping paper guide wall surface is formed only for a certain kind of coins to be packaged but an angularly bent point is formed at the junction between the pair of wrapping paper guide walls when packaging other kind of coins and thereby a smooth guide wall surface fails to be obtained, resulting in an occurrence of incorrect feeding of the leading end part of the wrapping paper.
Further, it is recognized with respect to countries in which no adjustment is required for the length of wrapping paper depending on the various kinds of coins to be packed that in a certain country a short length of wrapping paper is employed for packaging operations but in other country a very long length of wrapping paper is required. To meet the requirement it is necessary to design the wrapping paper guide passage in dimensions larger than that for the first mentioned country. This causes a working space required for the wrapping paper guide section in a coin packaging machine to become enlarged with the result that the coin packaging machine is constructed in a bigger size. This means that a single design for the coin packaging machine cannot be commonly employed for all countries in the world. | The current invention pertains to a technique for providing a specific length of wrapping paper to a packaging area in a coin packaging machine, as well as the tool needed for executing this process. Traditionally, the method and tool for dispensing a specific length of wrapping paper to envelop a set number of stacked coins involve steps such as advancing a paper strip from a reel through guiding rollers towards the packaging area, securely gripping the leading end of the paper against the stacked coins by the rotation of rollers, cutting it to the desired length with a blade, and finally wrapping the coins with the cut paper. In established approaches, the length of wrapping paper required for enveloping the coins is determined by the distance between the cutting blade and the packaging segment. In countries like Japan, where there is little size variation among coins, a fixed length of wrapping paper can be used without issues. In contrast, in countries like England with more diverse coin sizes, adjustments need to be made to accommodate different lengths of wrapping paper based on coin diameters. Various methods have been proposed to address this need, including shifting the position of the cutting blade or modifying the guide passage for the wrapping paper. However, these methods often require complex adjustment mechanisms and can result in uneven paper feeding or packaging errors. Additionally, differences in wrapping paper length requirements between countries can lead to the need for larger machine designs, making a universal coin packaging machine design challenging. |

RSS leader Indresh Kumar was invited for an Iftar party organised by RSS-affiliated Muslim Rashtriya Manch at Jamia Millia Islamia on Monday, drawing flak from students who staged a protest against his presence.
Despite writing a memorandum to the Vice Chancellor Talat Ahmad against the move, Indresh visited the institution, said Imran Khan, a research scholar.
"He is prime accused in many blast cases. We do not want him in our institution and that is why we protested," he said.
Kumar speaking at the event, appealed to the Muslims to give up eating 'ghosht' (meat) as it is a 'beemari' (disease) and include cow milk in their sherbets.
“First, during Ramzan, they should plant trees in their localities, lanes, mosques and dargahs so that pollution can be tackled and the environment can be protected. Second, they should keep Tulsi plant in their homes, because it’s called Rehan (Jannat ki Jhaad) in Arabian and isse jannat naseeb hogi. (Keeping Tulsi plant in their homes would ensure a path to heaven.)", he said.
The RSS leader further said that consuming meat during the holy month of Ramadan is equivalent to consuming poison.
“Meat is a disease… Milk is the cure.”
This is not the first time Indresh Kumar has found a way to court controversy.
Just days ago, he cited 'western' traditions and Valentine's Day in particular as reasons for 'rape, illegitimate children, and violence against women.'
Addressing RSS volunteers on the completion of a training programme, Kumar said love holds "sacredness" and "piousness" in India, but the West has commercialised it and given birth to the festival.
"In India, love has been sacred and pious. It has been sung as the tales of Radha-Krishna, Laila-Majnu and Heer- Ranjha but the western culture commercialised love and gave birth to festival of Valentines’ day which is now responsible for problems like rape, illegitimate children and violence on women," he said.

Earlier, Kumar made headlines for saying that those who participate in 'beef fests' should mend their ways as they are bringing "shame to the country" by indulging in an act which is "against humanity".
Beef fests were organized in Kerala against the Central Government's notification banning the sale of cattle for slaughter last month.
In April this year, during the perpetual discussion on the issue of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Kumar asserted that even Muslims would want Ram Mandir to be constructed at the contentious site.

For in-depth, objective and more importantly balanced journalism, Click here to subscribe to Outlook Magazine | RSS leader Indresh Kumar received an invitation to attend an Iftar gathering hosted by the RSS-linked Muslim Rashtriya Manch at Jamia Millia Islamia on Monday, sparking criticism from students who protested against his presence.
Despite having submitted a memorandum to Vice Chancellor Talat Ahmad opposing his visit, Indresh showed up at the institution, according to Imran Khan, a research scholar.
Khan stated, "He is a key suspect in multiple explosion cases. We do not wish to see him at our institution, hence our protest."
During his speech at the event, Kumar urged Muslims to avoid consuming meat during the holy month of Ramzan, citing it as a 'disease', and recommended incorporating cow milk in their beverages.
Kumar also advocated for Muslims to plant trees in their neighborhoods, mosques, and shrines during Ramzan to combat pollution and preserve the environment. Additionally, he suggested the inclusion of a Tulsi plant at home for spiritual benefits.
Furthermore, Kumar asserted that indulging in meat during Ramadan is akin to consuming poison, emphasizing that milk is the remedy.
This isn't the first instance in which Indresh Kumar has sparked controversy. Recently, he linked 'western' customs, particularly Valentine's Day, to issues like rape and violence against women, during a discussion with RSS volunteers.
Kumar also raised concerns regarding 'beef fests,' labeling them as disgraceful acts and against humanity, following protests in Kerala over the Central Government's cattle slaughter ban.
Moreover, in earlier discussions about the Ram Mandir dispute in Ayodhya, Kumar expressed his belief that even Muslims would support the construction of a Ram Mandir at the contested site, stating that mosques associated with individuals are deemed impure in Islam. |
Most of the attention of the tech-world is focused on Self-Driving cars, which are likely to be among the “Top 25 Digital Startup ideas and technologies for 2017 (link). A couple of weeks ago, we saw the announcement – Volkswagen Group opts for charging network intercharge Hubject – The German automaker seems to be continuing with its acquisition spree by acquiring a Canadian mobile payments company, PayByPhone. Car makers continue to invest heavily in trying to compete in mobility race.
More about this current acquisition by VW:
Volkswagen Financial Services AG Acquires PayByPhone – Move Demonstrates Significant Confidence and Market Growth for Mobile Payments and Parking
As consumers look for easy-to-use mobile solutions that fit their increasingly digital lives, the PayByPhone acquisition signals a growing market for mobile-payment solutions. PayByPhone’s technology — the fastest way to pay for parking — will soon be available for millions more drivers across the globe. In 2016, PayByPhone has already processed more than $250 million in payments and is adding approximately 7,000 users per day to their already substantial base of more than 12.5 million registered users.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for PayByPhone to explore new ways to expand our mobile payments technology into different verticals, markets and use cases. The mobile payment movement has exploded recently, and we look forward to accelerating our consumer parking and payments agenda made possible by this deal,” said Kush Parikh, CEO of PayByPhone. “Volkswagen Financial Services AG has been at the forefront of innovation to fit its customers’ mobile lives, and we are honored to be a part of its global vision.”
The PayByPhone acquisition expands the Volkswagen Financial Services AG footprint in the mobile-payment solutions market, and positions the organization as the central service provider within the Volkswagen Group for the parking business. Volkswagen Financial Services AG has already acquired a 92 percent shareholding in Sunhill Technologies GmbH, the German market leader in mobile-parking solutions across 90 German cities.
“With the acquisition of PayByPhone, we are now the leading provider for the processing and mobile payment of parking. In the future, we will be bundling this know-how in a separate business field around the theme of parking,” said Dr. Christian Dahlheim, the management board member responsible for sales and marketing at Volkswagen Financial Services AG. | PayByPhone Press Release |
Wall Street Journal:
The German auto maker’s Volkswagen Financial Services AG will dish out an undisclosed sum to acquire PayByPhone, a Vancouver-based company that allows people to pay for certain parking spaces by mobile apps, phone calls or texts. PayByPhone, founded in 2000, says it processes $300 million in transactions annually. PayByPhone’s transaction volume amounts to just a sliver of the hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue that Volkswagen generates annually through sales of cars, trucks, financial services and other products. But the deal is about far more than one of the world’s largest auto makers getting into the parking business.
Financial Post
Volkswagen’s financial arm buys Vancouver startup PayByPhone in scramble for technology – PayByPhone, which said it processes more than US$250 million in payments each year, allows its users to securely pay for certain parking spaces with their phones and be alerted when their time expires. The app has 12.5 million registered users and can be used in several cities in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the U.K. and France, the company said. PayByPhone has about 100 employees worldwide.
Cnet
VW adds parking prowess through PayByPhone acquisition – PayByPhone, a service that lets drivers pay for parking meters with their phones, will be acquired by Volkswagen Financial Services, a part of the Volkswagen Group. The acquisition will give Volkswagen parking payment services in the US, Canada, the UK, France, Switzerland and Australia. Volkswagen previously acquired a stake in Sunhill Technologies, which provides parking payment services in Germany. Volkswagen’s interest in parking payment services demonstrates a broader trend among automakers of investing in services connected to mobility. | The tech industry's primary focus is on Self-Driving cars, expected to be among the "Top 25 Digital Startup ideas and technologies for 2017 (link)."

Volkswagen Financial Services AG's acquisition of PayByPhone reinforces the growing market for mobile-payment solutions, providing millions of drivers worldwide with access to easy mobile payment options for parking. The deal also positions Volkswagen as a key player in the mobile-payment solutions market and the leading service provider for parking within the Volkswagen Group. |
Q:
when(scenario) and how does GUID column makes sense when we have already primary key?
In my legacy web application, here is the structure of customer table in sql server 2005:-
custId, custName,custAddress,custGUID
1 scott mark B36AF54E-F2B5-4845-9595-AC05K898AE14
My question is about the column custGUID which is declared as uniqueIdentifier()which is GUID). I am not getting whats the difference between primary key and uniqueIdentifier and whats the reason to introduce extra column as guid.As per different sites i came to know that uniqueIdentifier is uniques across the whole sqlserver 2005 but primary key is unique is unique in that particular table . But i am not able to think of any scenario of making any column as GUID/unique across the sql server. Want to understand
when and how does GUID column makes sense? As all team meamber are new, not able to figure out the mystery
A:
This is a tough one to answer, as there are many reasons to do this, most of them not good at all.
You might be looking at a legacy application, where data was stored across multiple servers. To avoid having data overwritten when the data is was finally merged, a GUID column was introduced.
I've seen this in applications before where, for example, staff had a copy of the program on their laptops, and were working remotely without a reliable internet connection. So, all the invoices etc. are linked to the GUID and not the customer ID, making it possible to later merge all the data into a single database, without running the risk of having things get linked to each other the wrong way.
You are correct in your statements that the unique identifiers should have been enough, but think about what would happen if you had multiple databases running at the same time. You could end up with five customers, each having customer ID 4, for example. If I were to make a guess, I'd say this is why the original designers went this route.
| Why does it make sense to have a GUID column when a primary key already exists in a database table? In some cases, a GUID column is introduced to uniquely identify records across multiple servers, especially in legacy applications where data needs to be merged without overwriting. This approach helps avoid conflicts when data is collected offline and later synchronized centrally. While primary keys are unique within a table, GUIDs ensure global uniqueness across the entire SQL Server. This strategy may be used to prevent issues like duplicate customer IDs in separate databases. |

Presence of a neural mechanism for the expression of female sexual behaviors in the male rat brain.
Facilitatory and inhibitory neural mechanisms involved in the expression of female sexual behaviors in male rats were examined with a dual operation technique. Male rats were castrated and the preoptic area was dorsally deafferented (anterior roof deafferentation, ARD) in order to remove the forebrain lordosis-inhibitory system. Male rats with ARD displayed not only lordosis but also soliciting behaviors in response to 2 micrograms estradiol benzoate (EB) and 0.5 mg progesterone (P). The ARD male rat then received a second operation involving the hypothalamus or lower brain stem, i.e., the ventromedial nucleus and the adjacent area (ventromedial hypothalamus, VMH) were damaged by a radiofrequency lesion generator; the hypothalamus de-efferented anterolaterally by means of a Halász knife cut posterior to the suprachiasmatic nucleus (ADC) or lesions of the pontine periventricular gray and the adjacent area (dorsomedial tegmental lesion, DMTL). The DMTL effectively suppressed lordosis in EB-P-primed male rats with ARD. Only 1 of 14 ARD-DMTL males showed lordosis. In contrast, the VMH lesions or the ADC failed to interfere with the facilitatory effect of ARD on female sexual behaviors in male rats tested with the same dose of EB-P. Thus, the pontine periventricular gray plays a critical role for lordosis regulation in males. These results suggest that the male rat brain possesses the minimal neural mechanism for the expression of female sexual behaviors associated with the development of the strong forebrain lordosis-inhibiting system. | Identification of neural processes governing female sexual behavior in male rats was investigated. The study utilized a two-step technique involving castration and deafferentation in the preoptic area to eliminate a brain system inhibiting lordosis. Male rats with this modification exhibited soliciting behaviors and lordosis in response to specific hormone doses. Additional operations on the hypothalamus and brain stem region were performed to further analyze neural facilitation and inhibition mechanisms. Damage to the pontine periventricular gray effectively suppressed lordosis, highlighting its crucial role in regulation. Overall, the findings indicate the male rat brain possesses essential neural mechanisms for expressing female sexual behaviors, including the forebrain lordosis-inhibiting system. |
The effect of acupuncture therapy on pain perception and coping strategies: a preliminary report.
The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of acupuncture on the perception of pain and coping strategies, thus focusing on the psychological aspects of pain. The study was conducted in two complementary and alternative medicine clinics of public hospitals. Forty-one patients scheduled for routine acupuncture therapy because of chronic musculoskeletal pain were recruited for the study to receive eight acupuncture treatments. Twenty-four patients completed the treatment schedule and filled two self-reported questionnaires before and after therapy: (1) Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised (IPQ-R); and (2) Coping Strategies questionnaire (Brief COPE). A significant improvement was found in the following measures related to pain perception: timeline (chronic versus acute), treatment control, and personal control. Additionally, significant improvement was displayed in three measures related to coping strategies: positive reframing, religion, and venting. The results indicate that acupuncture therapy might be efficient in changing patient's pain perception from chronic to acute and in enhancing their sense of personal and treatment control over their pain. In addition, acupuncture therapy partially improved coping strategies. The present study provides further validation for acupuncture therapy in pain and highlights its possible role in affecting the psychological aspects of pain. | Title: Impact of Acupuncture Treatment on Pain Perception and Coping Strategies: Initial Findings
The aim of this study was to assess how acupuncture therapy affects the perception of pain and coping strategies, with a focus on the psychological aspects of pain. The research took place at two public hospital clinics offering complementary and alternative medicine. Forty-one patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain undergoing routine acupuncture treatment were included in the study, receiving a total of eight acupuncture sessions. Out of these, 24 patients completed the treatment and completed pre- and post-therapy self-reported questionnaires: the Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised (IPQ-R) and the Coping Strategies questionnaire (Brief COPE). Significant improvements were observed in pain perception measures related to the chronicity of pain, control over treatment, and personal control. Furthermore, positive changes were noted in coping strategies such as positive reframing, religious coping, and venting. These findings suggest that acupuncture therapy can potentially shift a patient's pain perception from chronic to acute and improve feelings of control over their pain. Moreover, acupuncture treatment was found to enhance certain coping strategies. This study further supports the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy in addressing pain issues and underscores its potential to influence the psychological aspects of pain perception. |
