Q: JQuery Modal Boxes and Iframe I've been using Simple Modal and i feel it doesn't live up to what i need at the moment. Is there a Modal Box that supports loading external files and allows those external files to close the modal box and redirect the parent page to some url. An example of what i want to do. You have a list of users, you could click "Add user" and a Modal Box with the form pops up, you fill that in and submit it. That would close the box and reload the user list page so you would see the user in the list. Then you could click "Edit user" and a Modal Box with the user info filled in the form fields would pop up and you could edit, submit and it would close and refresh. I know this can be done if i have the user info form as a hidden div for each user but this will not scale well and it is a lot of overhead data. I found some code about this on Google Code but just can't get it to work (possibly different simple modal version I am willing to change to another modal box tool also. UPDATE: Do either Thickbox or Fancybox support being closed from a child IFrame element? A: Sounds like you already found the answer but for the benefit of others you can close an iFrame implementation of FancyBox by using the following JavaScript in the iFrame: parent.$.fn.fancybox.close(); A: Below is a basic dialog interaction loading content into an iFrame and then closing the dialog from the iFrame. Note that to illustrate this I have two code snippets. The first is labeled file1.html. The second you should name "myPage.html" if you want it to work and place it in the same directory as the first file. Note that the call to close the dialog could be used in other ways depending on your desired functionality. For example another example could be on successful form submission. Create the files locally on your system and open file1.html and try it out. file1.html <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.1/jquery-ui.min.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.0/themes/base/jquery-ui.css"/> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $("#modalDiv").dialog({ modal: true, autoOpen: false, height: '180', width: '320', draggable: true, resizeable: true, title: 'IFrame Modal Dialog' }); $('#goToMyPage').click( function() { url = 'myPage.html'; $("#modalDiv").dialog("open"); $("#modalIFrame").attr('src',url); return false; }); }); </script> </head> <body> <a id="goToMyPage" href="#">Go to My Page</a> <div id="modalDiv"><iframe id="modalIFrame" width="100%" height="100%" marginWidth="0" marginHeight="0" frameBorder="0" scrolling="auto" title="Dialog Title"></iframe></div> </body> </html> myPage.html <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.0/themes/base/jquery-ui.css"/> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function() { $('#clickToClose').click( function() { window.parent.$("#modalDiv").dialog('close'); return false; }); // uncomment and use the below line close when document is ready (no click action by user needed) // the same call could be put elsewhere depending on desired functionality (after successful form submit, etc.) // window.parent.$("#modalDiv").dialog('close'); }); </script> </head> <body> <a id="clickToClose" href="#">Click to close.</a> </body> </html> A: Fancybox is also another option. Works similarly to Thickbox EDIT: It appears after some playing around that the plugin does not natively support closing the Fancybox through an child iframe element. I think that this is certainly achievable with a little effort (I started hacking together something here, although I stress that this was simply a POC and does not work as the button within the iframe removes the fancybox div wrapper from the DOM and therefore does not display when you click the google image again).I am wondering however, if an iframe is the right lines to go down. For adding a user, my thought would be that you could present the user with a modal form like the one on the Monster site you get when you click 'Sign In.' Once you click add user, make an AJAX call to your datasource to insert a new user and then on returning success, you could either initiate a page refresh or use AJAX to update the list. For editing a user, once a user is selected, you could make an AJAX call with a user id to populate a modal form with the user details retrieved from your data source when the AJAX call returns success. Once you have finished editing the user, make an AJAX call to update your datasource and then again, initiate a page refresh or use AJAX to update the list. Instead of the page refresh or final AJAX call in each scenario, you could simply use JavaScript/jQuery to update the list/ list details, depending on whether a user has been added or edited, respectively.	{ "pile_set_name": "StackExchange" }
Q: Understanding Intel iris graphic card spec for mac mini I'm reviewing moving to some software that has a system requirement of a 1GB of video / graphics card. The computer in question is a 2014 Mac mini, which I remember at the time of buying had a "Intel Iris Graphics" but no stated MB / GB number so I presumed it was a not very powerful graphics card built directly onto the CPU. Just now i checked "About this Mac" and it seems to state that the graphics card is "Intel Iris 1536MB" - Does that mean that I have a 1.5GB graphics card ? If so why doesn't apple list it as that, even now on the current mac mini page they list the graphic card as "Intel Iris Graphics" ? Mac Mini Specs A: The Intel Iris graphic chipset uses shared memory meaning it allocates up to 1.5GB (not 1.5Ghz which is frequency or more commonly known as speed) of RAM from the system to be used as VRAM. So, If you have a Mac mini with 8GB of RAM, you really have a Mac mini with 6.5GB of usable RAM because 1.5GB was allocated to video. From Apple's website: Integrated Video on Intel-based Macs Apple computers using Intel Iris Graphics as the primary GPU dynamically allocate up to 1.5 GB of system memory. You were correct in your presumption - it's not a powerful graphics card built onto the CPU. You should check with the vendor of your software to see if it has a requirement of 1GB of dedicated video memory (meaning it's built into the card and doesn't share with the system) or not.	{ "pile_set_name": "StackExchange" }
Villages Pictures of villages remind us of how humanity has socialized and built infrastructure to help them carry on in their daily lives. From a photographer's perspective, these pictures also provide a way to explore beautiful colors, shapes, lines and patterns. I also like how rural American and coastline villages show a very calm and peaceful aspect of life.	{ "pile_set_name": "Pile-CC" }

1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tape cassette and, more specifically, is directed to a tape cassette of the type having a mouth for receiving a head drum and tape loading members when the tape cassette is inserted in a recording and/or reproducing apparatus, and which is capable of being tightly closed when the tape cassette is not in use. 2. Description of the Related Art An existing tape cassette for use in a digital audio tape player (DAT) has a mouth and is provided with a front lid for closing the front opening of the mouth and a slide shutter for closing the lower opening of the mouth. In this tape cassette for a DAT, an extension of the top wall of the case or body of the cassette extends across the top of the mouth for closing the latter from above. Accordingly, the position of the tape cassette must be raised when it is desired to receive the head drum in the mouth of the tape cassette for reducing the size of the recording and/or reproducing apparatus measured laterally and from front-to-back. Consequently, the height of the recording and/or reproducing apparatus has to be increased. On the other hand, if the height of the recording and/or reproducing apparatus is not increased, the head drum needs to be located outside the mouth of the cassette case and, consequently, the size of the recording and/or reproducing apparatus, as measured in the front-to-back direction, has to be increased.	{ "pile_set_name": "USPTO Backgrounds" }

Ovarian cancer: an analysis of forty-four patients at the National Radiotherapy Centre, Accra--Ghana. The median age for ovarian cancer is 60-65 years. Greater than 70% present with advanced disease but recent treatment advances have resulted in modest improvement in treatment outcome over the past decade. To evaluate the median age, time of presentation, histology and treatment outcome of 44 cases referred to us for management. We studied 44 cases of ovarian cancer. Chemotherapy consisted of 3 weekly cycles of Cisplatin at 75mg/m2 and Cyclophosphamide at 750mg/m2 or Paclitaxel at 175mg/m2. Parameters documented included age, histology, time of presentation stage and treatment response. These were obtained from clinical examination, operation notes, pathology reports, radiological exams and Cancer Antigen 125 tumor marker levels. Age range was 12-64 years with a median of 45 years. Thirty-seven (82%) had stage 3 or 4 disease. Thirty-seven (82%) presented after four months of which two-thirds presented more than one year after initial symptoms. Thirty-seven (82%) had epithelial ovarian cancer, four (9%) had germ cell tumours and three (7%) stromal tumors. Only twenty five patients could be assessed for treatment response. Twenty (80%) out of these 25 patients received Cyclophosphamide and Cisplatin chemotherapy. Total clinical response rate was 52%, with only four patients (16%) achieving complete clinical response and nine patients (36%), a partial response. Our patients presented with a median age of 45 years which is lower than what is reported for most countries. A large majority present with advanced disease and presented more than four months after initial symptoms. The response rate of cyclophosphamide/Platinum chemotherapy in this group with epithelial cell type was relatively low.	{ "pile_set_name": "PubMed Abstracts" }
Blockade of leukotriene B4 signaling pathway induces apoptosis and suppresses cell proliferation in colon cancer. We investigated whether leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) and its signaling pathway play an important role in the progression of human colon cancer via a direct stimulation of cancer cell proliferation. Remarkable expression of LTB(4) receptor 1 (BLT1) in human colon cancer tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry, and Western blot analysis revealed the BLT1 expression in cultured human colon cancer cell lines, Caco2 and HT29. The 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor AA-861 and LTB(4)-receptor antagonist U75302 showed negative effects on survival and proliferation of both Caco2 and HT-29 cells. The inhibition of cell proliferation is due to the apoptosis because nuclear condensation and increased annexin V expression were observed in the cells treated with AA-861 and U75302. Knockdown of BLT1 by small interfering RNA caused the suppression of BLT1 protein, resulting in the inhibition of cancer cell proliferation. Blockade of BLT1 by the receptor antagonist significantly suppresses the LTB(4)-stimulated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation in colon cancer cells. These results indicate that the blockade of the LTB(4)-signaling pathway induces apoptosis via the inhibition of ERK activation in colon cancer cells. The LTB(4)-signaling pathway might be a new therapeutic target for colon cancer.	{ "pile_set_name": "PubMed Abstracts" }
Urinary metabolites of pinacidil. II. Species difference in the metabolism of pinacidil. 1. Pinacidil was given orally to rabbit (10 mg/kg), dog (10 mg/kg), monkey (10 mg/kg) and mouse (150 mg/kg), the urinary metabolites were separated by h.p.l.c. and their structures determined by mass spectrometry. 2. Three new metabolites, namely, omega-hydroxy-pinacidil-O-glucuronide (M-8), pinacidil-pyridine-N-oxide-O-glucuronide (M-9) and pinacidil-pyridine-N-glucuronide (M-10) were isolated from rabbit urine, and one new metabolite, namely, pinacidil-pyridine-phenolic-glucuronide (M-11) was isolated from mouse urine. 3. M-9 is a unique glucuronide because the glucuronic acid is linked to the oxygen of pyridine-N-oxide. 4. In man, similar to rat, dog and mouse, pinacidil-pyridine-N-oxide (M-1) was the main urinary metabolite, with pyridine-N-oxidation being the major metabolic pathway. On the other hand, M-8 and M-9 were the most abundant metabolites in monkey and rabbit urine, respectively. Therefore, rat, dog and mouse have similar metabolism of pinacidil to man, but monkey and rabbit are significantly different in their metabolism of the drug.	{ "pile_set_name": "PubMed Abstracts" }

I knew the expression to relax from head to toe, but I must say confirm and add that it really starts with your feet and toes. Meanwhile, I couldn’t get a grasp of the delicious sweet cupcakes beside me, my hands were taken as a hostage for a spa manicure treatment with O.P.I oil treatment and full-hand masks. It’s a shame that I don’t really live around Verdun to visit as often, but if you do, I recommend you only go there. I am just on point for Valentine and the boys.

Eric Massa Framed? Politico is reporting that the Democratic Representative from New York, Eric Massa, who recently announced his intention to resign amidst a sexual harrassment charge from a male staffer, is now claiming that the investigation was set up by the Obama administration because Massa didn’t vote for Obamacare. Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) says the House ethics committee is investigating him for inappropriate comments he made to a male staffer on New Year’s Eve — and that he’s the victim of a power play by Democratic leaders who want him out of Congress because he’s a “no” vote on health care reform. “Mine is now the deciding vote on the health care bill,” Massa, who on Friday announced his intention to resign, said during a long monologue on radio station WKPQ. “And this administration and this House leadership have said, quote-unquote, they will stop at nothing to pass this health care bill. And now they’ve gotten rid of me, and it will pass. You connect the dots.” Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Massa insisted that he did not know the basis of a House ethics committee investigation into his conduct until after he announced his retirement last Wednesday, and he took House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) to task for going public with information related to the probe before it is completed. Of note is that Massa did not deny the accusations against him, namely that he made sexually suggestive and inappropriate comments to a young male staffer. But he also says he announced his resignation before finding out what he was being investigated for, which sounds odd to me. What else has he done that he was afraid of being investigated for? It does sound a bit fishy that he was investigated so soon after voting against Obamacare, but it also sound odd that he would suddenly decide he was being framed instead of fighting it initially. Personally, I’d like to see him fight it, and see what other dirt comes up. Is that wrong of me? Don’t get me wrong — I’m not really interested in seeing Massa dragged through the mud. I’m just wondering what else he was involved with that had him so worried about an ethics probe. He seems very unconcerned about the sexual harrassment issue, and I can’t help but think he was involved in something with more substance.

529 F.Supp.2d 852 (2007) PHG TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, Plaintiff, v. The ST. JOHN COMPANIES, INC., Defendant. No. 03:05-0630. United States District Court, M.D. Tennessee, Nashville Division. March 26, 2007. 853 Lea Speed Hall and Adam S. Baldridge of Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & 854 Berkowitz, PC, Memphis, TN, for Plaintiff PHG. Robert Schroeder and Jennifer Phelps of Bingham McCutchen, LLP, Los Angeles, CA, for Defendant St. John Companies. MEMORANDUM ROBERT L. ECHOLS, District Judge. Pending before the Court are Defendant The St. John Companies, Inc.'s Motion For Summary Judgment Of Invalidity Under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) (Docket Entry No. 209) and PHG Technologies, LLC's Motion For Partial Summary Judgment (Docket Entry No. 133), to which the parties have responded in opposition. PHG Technologies, LLC ("PHG") brought this action against The St. John Companies, Inc. ("St.John") seeking to enforce its design patents on medical label sheets, U.S. Patent Des. No. 496,405 S ("the '405 patent") and U.S. Patent Des. No. 503,197 S ("the '197 patent"), and to protect its "EasyID" trademark. The Court entered a preliminary injunction against St. John and denied the parties' motions for partial summary judgment. PHG Technologies, LLC v. St. John Companies, Inc., 2005 WL 3301601 (M.D.Tenn. Dec.5, 2005). In November 2006, the Federal Circuit vacated the preliminary injunction, ruling "based on the evidence of record at this preliminary stage" that PHG failed to meet its burden to prove likelihood of success on the merits on the question of patent validity. PHG Technologies, LLC v. St. John Companies, Inc., 469 F.3d 1361, 1369 (Fed.Cir.2006). On PHG's motion, the Court dismissed St. John's counterclaims for unfair competition (Count XI), violation of the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act (Count XII), and unjust enrichment (Count XIII). PHG Technologies, LLC v. St. John Companies, Inc., 459 F.Supp.2d 640 (M.D.Tenn.2006). The parties have now filed cross-motions seeking summary judgment in their favor on various claims and counterclaims. The Court previously set forth numerous relevant facts in the above-cited prior opinions in this case and in the related case. PHG Technologies, LLC v. TimeMed Labeling Sys., Inc., No. 3:05-1091 (M.D.Tenn.) ("TimeMed case"). In the interest of brevity, the Court will not restate facts here except as necessary to address the particular legal issues raised by the pending motions. I. STANDARD OF REVIEW "Summary judgment is appropriate when there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c)." Continental Plastic Containers v. Owens Brockway Plastic Prods., Inc., 141 F.3d 1073, 1076 (Fed.Cir. 1998). Material facts are those which may affect the decision so that the finding of such facts is relevant and necessary to the proceedings. Id. (citing Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986)). If sufficient evidence is presented so that a reasonable fact finder could decide the question in favor of the non-moving party, a genuine issue is shown to exist. Id. The Court must believe the evidence submitted by the non-movant and draw all justifiable inferences in that party's favor. Id. The Court must assess the adequacy of the non-movant's response and determine whether the showing the non-movant "asserts it will make at trial would be sufficient to carry its burden of proof." Id. II. ANALYSIS A. St. John's Motion for Summary Judgment of Invalidity Under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) St. John seeks summary judgment in its favor on the patent infringement claims 855 asserted against it by PHG in Counts I and II, and on St. John's corresponding declaratory judgment Counts I and II as stated in its counterclaim against PHG. St. John contends that PHG's design patents are invalid because label sheets having the configuration shown in the '197 and '405 patents were "on sale" more than one year prior to the critical date, September 14, 2001. Patents are presumed to be valid. 35 U.S.C. § 282; VMS Gaming, Inc. v. International Game Technology, 184 F.3d 1339, 1355 (Fed.Cir.1999). To prevail St. John must demonstrate a lack of genuine dispute about material facts and show that the facts not in dispute clearly and convincingly demonstrate patent invalidity. Amazon.com, Inc. v. Barnesandnoble.com, Inc., 239 F.3d 1343, 1358-1359 (Fed.Cir. 2001). St. John's motion for summary judgment on patent invalidity is in all respects nearly identical to the motion for summary judgment on patent invalidity made in the TimeMed case. St. John relies on the opening briefs and supporting papers filed by TimeMed in the related case and makes those filings part of the record in this case. (Docket Entry Nos. 209, 130, 131 & 132.) St. John's Statement of Undisputed Facts in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment (Docket Entry No. 129), with the exception of minor stylistic and record citation revisions, is identical in substance to the Statement of Uncontested Facts in Support of Summary Judgment filed by TimeMed. (No. 05-1091, Docket Entry No. 88.) After the Court denied TimeMed's motion for summary judgment on the issue of patent invalidity, the Court permitted St. John to file a Supplemental Memorandum (Docket Entry No. 213) in support of its summary judgment motion in this case. In the Supplemental Memorandum, St. John identifies two reasons why its motion for summary judgment should be considered independently and decided differently from TimeMed's motion. First, St. John contends that PHG cannot rely on the experimental use exception to overcome a prima facie case of patent invalidity because (a) PHG principal Brian Moyer at his deposition in this case "admitted that he did not know what happened to all 4,000 label sheets [fabricated by Ward/Kraft] and could not say they were not sold[ ]" and (b) St. John contends the label sheets were put on sale by Ward/Kraft; therefore, no amount of experimentation by PHG subsequent to the Ward/Kraft offer for sale could retroactively ameliorate the legal effect of Ward/Kraft's offer for sale. Second, St. John contends that this Court erroneously relied on Tone Bros., Inc. v. Sysco Corp., 28 F.3d 1192 (Fed.Cir.1994), in the TimeMed case, but in any event Tone Bros. does not apply here because St. John's on-sale defense relies on the acts of the third party, Ward/Kraft, not PHG. Thus, according to St. John, for Tone Bros. to apply by analogy in this case, PHG must present evidence from which a jury could reasonably find that Ward/Kraft was experimenting, thereby negating the effect of Ward/Krafes offer for sale or sale of label sheets to PHG. St. John's initial attack on the testimony of Brian Moyer bears little fruit. A fair reading of the deposition transcript excerpt cited does not reveal that Moyer. "admitted he did not know what happened to all 4,000 label sheets and could not say they were not sold[.]" The gist of the testimony is much different. St. John's counsel asked Moyer: Q. You didn't sell any of the first 4,000. A. No. Q. And you, didn't sell any of the second 4,000; correct? A. Not that I recall. 856 (Docket Entry No. 177-3, Moyer Depo. at 60-61.) Taking this testimony in the light most favorable to PHG, St. John has not produced evidence in support of its summary judgment motion establishing that Moyer commercially sold to customers any of the first 8,000 label sheets he obtained from Ward/Kraft. St. John next requests that the Court focus on Ward/Kraft's actions prior to the critical date, rather than PHG's actions. St. John urges the Court to hold that Ward/Kraft sold or offered to sell label sheets to PHG, thus rendering PHG's design patents invalid, and that Ward/Kraft did not engage in experimental use which would negate its sale or offer to sell. The Court fully examined the entire course of conduct between Ward/Kraft and PHG in its prior opinion entered in the TimeMed case. There, the Court explained why, taking the facts in the light most favorable to PHG, neither the actions of Ward/Kraft nor PHG amounted to commercial sales or offers to sell. The Court sees no reason to reiterate that entire analysis here. In rejecting St. John's contentions, the Court incorporates by reference and relies on its prior analysis in PHG Technologies, LLC v. TimeMed Labeling Sys., Inc., 2006 WL 2670967 (M.D.Tenn. Sept.18, 2006). As the Court stated in the TimeMed case, the facts show that Moyer made the disclosures concerning the design patents to Ward/Kraft with the expectation of confidentiality and "both PHG and Ward/Kraft understood that the first samples were fabricated as `test runs.'" Id. at *3, 11. The Court also observed that the evidence showed PHG ran the sample label sheets Ward/Kraft manufactured through various laser printers to see how the product would perform before PHG contracted with Ward/Kraft in October 2000 to mass-produce the label sheets for commercial sale to customers. Id. at 11. Thus, the Court held that PHG was entitled to the "small inventor" exception under Brasseler, U.S.A. I, L.P. v. Stryker Sales Corp., 182 F.3d 888, 891-892 (Fed.Cir.1999). The Court believes that it would be ignoring the requirements of law if it focused solely on the fact that Ward/Kraft did not conduct any experimentation. In Electromotive Div. of Gen. Motors Corp. v. Transportation Sys. Div. of Gen. Elec. Co., 417 F.3d 1203, 1212-1214 (Fed.Cir.2005). the Federal Circuit identified thirteen (13) objective factors to consider in determining "whether pre-critical date activities involving the patented inventioneither public use or salewere primarily experimental and not commercial." These factors are: "(1) the necessity for public testing; (2) the amount of control over the experiment retained by the inventor; (3) the nature of the invention; (4) the length of the test period; (5) whether payment was made; (6) whether there was a secrecy obligation; (7) whether records of the experiment were kept; (8) who conducted the experiment; (9) the degree of commercial exploitation during testing; (10) whether the invention reasonably required evaluation under actual conditions of use; (11) whether testing was systematically performed; (12) whether the inventor continually monitored the invention during testing; and (13) the nature of the contacts made with potential customers." Id. at 1213. The list is not exhaustive and not all factors apply in a particular case. Id. Here, the evidence suggests it was necessary for PHG to know if its patented design would work when reduced to practice on laser medical label sheets. Thus, PHG reasonably required testing to evaluate the label sheet design under actual conditions of use. Ward/Kraft knew a limited number of labels were being produced solely for testing purposes. As stated above, Moyer testified he disclosed the patented designs to Ward/Kraft with the expectation of secrecy. 857 As the second factor emphasizes, the focus is on the inventor and the amount of control the inventor exerts over the experiment. Evidence indicates that PHG inventors, Brian Moyer and Thomas Stewart, and PHG employees maintained control over the use of the label sheets as the sheets were tested in various laser printers under conditions similar to expected commercial use. The inventors continually monitored the label sheets during testing. The testing period covered a short period of time, and PHG paid Ward/Kraft to fabricate the samples, although not the full amount Ward/Kraft sought on the first 4,000 labels. According to Moyer's testimony, testing was conducted systematically, and records of the experiments were kept because Moyer sent Ward/Kraft a memorandum outlining the problems with the first boxes of label sheets. There is no evidence of any contact with potential customers during testing and no evidence of commercial sales or offers to sell to customers during testing. Thus, consideration of the evidence in light of the applicable objective factors and with a view most favorable to PHG tends to show that PHG's and Ward/Kraft's precritical date activities involving the patented designs were primarily experimental and not commercial. See id. at 1213. Finally, the Court does not believe that its discussion of the Tone Bros. case in the TimeMed opinion, along with Continental Plastic Containers v. Owens Brockway Plastic Prods., Inc., 141 F.3d 1073, 1079 (Fed.Cir.1998), was erroneous. TimeMed Labeling Sys., Inc., 2006 WL 2670967 at 12. Moreover, as Electromotive Div. of Gen. Motors Corp., 417 F.3d at 1212-1214 reveals, the focus must remain on PHG as the inventor, not on Ward/Kraft the supplier. But even if the focus shifts to Ward/Kraft, as St. John contends, the result is no different. In the TimeMed opinion, this Court discussed Continental Plastic Containers, 141 F.3d at 1079-1080, in which the Federal Circuit stated that, even if it extended Tone Bros., a "public use" ease, to the "on-sale" context, there was no nexus in that case between the alleged experimentation and the sale because Continental, the manufacturer, sold juice bottles to the inventor only for commercial exploitation, not for experimentation by the inventor. TimeMed Labeling Sys., Inc., 2006 WL 2670967 at 13. This Court also pointed out that in Continental Plastic Containers, as in Brasseler, the Federal Circuit stated Continental did not present "a case in which Continental sold a discrete number of the bottles to. L & A Juice so that L & A Juice might experiment on them to ascertain whether they were suitable for a particular purpose." Id. See also Special Devices, Inc. v. OEA, Inc., 270 F.3d 1353, 1356 (Fed.Cir.2001). St. John does not address this discussion. Thus, St. John's motion for summary judgment on PHG's Counts I & II and St. John's Counterclaim Counts I & II will be denied. B. PHG's Motion For Partial Summary Judgment PHG moves for summary judgment in its favor on several grounds. The Court will consider each ground in turn. 1. Patent validity PHG asserts that its patents are valid because the designs are ornamental, not functional, and the patents were not invalidated by an on-sale bar. Thus, PHG claims it is entitled to summary judgment on the issue of patent validity. a. Whether the patented designs are ornamental or functional PHG contends that its '405 and '197 design patents are valid because the designs are primarily ornamental, not functional, as the Court previously found when 858 it granted PHG's motion for a preliminary injunction.[1] St. John opposes summary judgment asserting that (1) the patents are invalid because PHG's design copied the upper nine rows of labels from James Riley's PLS-103 and the two lower rows of wristband labels in. PHG's design are primarily functional, not ornamental; and (2) the patented label sheet configuration is functional because it is needed to make use of the software PHG sells to customers. PHG disagrees with St. John's contentions. Title 35 U.S.C. § 171 provides that a patent may issue to "[w]hoever invents any new, original, and ornamental design for an article of manufacture[.]" There is no functionality requirement in obtaining a design patent. See id.; Continental Plastic Containers, 141 F.3d at 1079. Thus, once issued, a design patent is entitled to a presumption of validity. 35 U.S.C. § 282. The burden to establish invalidity of the patent rests on the party asserting invalidity. Id. The Court addressed the issue of patent invalidity when it granted PHG's motion for a preliminary injunction and ruled that PHG had shown a likelihood of success on the merits of its claim that its designs are primarily ornamental, not functional. PHG Technologies, LLC, 2005 WL 3301601 at *4-6. "Whether a patented design is functional or ornamental is a question of fact." PHG Technologies, LLC, 469 F.3d at 1365. The Federal Circuit vacated the injunction "based on the evidence of record at this preliminary stage[.]"[2]Id. at 1369. Thus, the appellate court's statement makes clear that this Court, following discovery and on motion for summary judgment, may reconsider the issue based on the factual record as it currently stands. A design patent concerns the appearance of an article of manufacture, and it protects the nonfunctional aspects of an ornamental design as shown in the patent. See Seiko Epson Corp. v. Nu-Kote Inc., 190 F.3d 1360, 1368 (Fed.Cir.1999). The design need not be aesthetically pleasing; the "ornamental" requirement means that "the design must not be governed solely by function, that is, this is not the only possible form of the article that could perform its function." Id. If the patented design is primarily functional rather than ornamental, the patent is invalid. Power Controls Corp. v. Hybrinetics, Inc., 806 F.2d 234, 238 (Fed.Cir.1986). The design of a useful article "is deemed to be functional when the appearance of the claimed design is `dictated by' the use or purpose of the article." L.A. Gear, Inc. v. Thom McAn Shoe Co., 988 F2d 1117, 1123 (Fed. Cir.1993). A design may embody functional features, however, and still be patentable. There is a distinction "between the functionality 859 of an article or features thereof and the functionality of the particular design of such article or features thereof that perform a function." Avia Group Int'l, Inc. v. L.A. Gear California, Inc., 853 F.2d 1557, 1563 (Fed.Cir.1988). If that were not true, it would be impossible to obtain a design patent on a utilitarian article of manufacture or to obtain design and utility patents on the same article. Id. The Federal Circuit stated in PHG Technologies, LLC, 469 F.3d at 1366: "[The determination of whether the patented design is dictated by the function of the article of manufacture must ultimately rest on an analysis of its overall appearance." Berry Sterling Corp. v. Pescor Plastics, Inc., 122 F.3d 1452, 1455 (Fed.Cir.1997). Our cases reveal a "list of . . . considerations for assessing whether the patented design as a wholeits overall appearancewas dictated by functional considerations," including: whether the protected design represents the best design; whether alternative designs would adversely affect the utility of the specified article; whether there are any concomitant utility patents; whether the advertising touts particular features of the design as having specific utility; and whether there are any elements in the design or an overall appearance clearly not dictated by function. Id. at 1456 (emphasis added). In particular, we have noted that "[t]he presence of alternative designs may or may not assist in determining whether the challenged design can overcome a functionality challenge. Consideration of alternative designs, if present, is a useful tool that may allow a court to conclude that a challenged design is riot invalid for functionality." Id. "When there are several ways to achieve the function of an article of manufacture, the design of the article is more likely to serve a primarily ornamental purpose." Rosco[, Inc. v. Mirror Lite Co.], 304 [1373,] 1378 [Fed. Cir.2002]. This excerpt from the Federal Circuit's opinion confirms this Court's previous conclusion that it cannot use the limitations of the commercial embodiment of the underlying article of manufacture to impose limitations on the scope of the design patent. See Berry Sterling Corp., 122 F.3d at 1455. PHG identifies the ornamental features of its design as the different sizes of labels and their placement on the sheet. The testimony at the preliminary injunction hearing revealed there are a multitude of ways to arrange different sizes of labels on an 8 1/2" × 11" sheet. Brian Moyer testified that PHG considered various arrangements for medical label sheets and settled on the design ultimately patented because it had "the best flow and look." He reiterates this testimony in an Affidavit supporting the summary judgment motion. (Docket Entry No. 149, Moyer Aff. ¶¶ 12.) The prior art identified by the patent examiner revealed earlier design patents that were issued for the ornamental design of a paper sheet or for the ornamental arrangement of labels on a sheet (Prelim. Inj. Hr'g, Plaintiffs Collective Ex. 1 at '654, '044, '404, '933, '264, '031), but the novel features of PHG's Medical Label Sheet, particularly the placement of various sizes of labels at the bottom of the sheet, distinguished PHG's ornamental design from the prior art, resulting in issuance of PHG's design patents '405 and '197. St. John previously suggested in connection with the preliminary injunction motion that PHG's placement of the different-sized labels was driven purely by function in label use. St. John relied on the Affidavit and preliminary injunction hearing testimony of its CEO, Adam Press. The Federal Circuit quoted from the Press Affidavit as follows: 860 The labels for use on the wristbands themselves are located on the bottom two rows of the sheet as these are usually the first labels used when a patient is admitted to a medical facility. The lower right hand corner is the easiest location for a right-handed user to remove the label as it is flush to an edge and unencumbered by a file or binder clip along the top or left hand margins. By placing the labels for the wristbands at the bottom of the page, the subsequent removal of additional labels adjacent to the removed label is facilitated. PHG Technologies, LLC, 469 F.3d at 1367 (quoting Press Aff. 115.d.).[3] The Federal Circuit determined: Mr. Press's affidavit constitutes evidence that alternative designs, which do not include the "novel feature" of PHG's designthe placement of various sizes of medical labels at the bottom of the sheetwould adversely affect the utility of the medical label sheet. It articulates a clear functional reason why the use and purpose of the article of manufacture dictated that the "wristband" labels be located at the bottom of the sheet. Id. This was in contrast to PHG's preliminary injunction evidence that Brian Moyer and Thomas Stewart chose the patented designs because they had "the best flow and look." Id. at 1368. The appellate court ruled that PHG failed to show a likelihood of success on the Merits because "PHG did not offer testimony refuting the assertions made in Mr. Press's affidavit that functional considerations dictated the medical label design, specifically the `novel feature' of the differently-sized labels being placed at the bottom of the sheet." Id. The court distinguished the case from L.A. Gear where "the patentee introduced evidence indicating that `a myriad of athletic shoe designs' could achieve the same functions that were achieved by the patented designs and `[i]t was not disputed that there were other ways of designing athletic shoes to perform the functions of the elements of the [patented] design.' 988 F.2d at 1123." Id. St. John apparently no longer relies on the Press Affidavit and testimony as neither the Affidavit nor an excerpt of the preliminary injunction hearing testimony is appended in support of St. John's opposition to summary judgment. However, PHG provides the testimony of an expert witness, Amy Sharp, who opined: It is my expert opinion that the Patented Designs are primarily ornamental and that the arrangement of the labels on the sheet contained in the Patented Designs has to do only with their look and appearance. It is also my expert opinion that the Patented Designs are not primarily functional. The bottom two rows of labels in the Patented Design could have been placed anywhere on the label sheet design. . . . the Patented Designs are not primarily functional but instead are arranged to have the most aesthetic appeal, and thus are primarily ornamental. Indeed, I created 861 some designs on which the same labels are on the sheet, but the labels are oriented differently from the Patented Designs, showing that the label layout in the Patented Designs cannot have been primarily functional (See Collective Exhibit "B"). One of these draft layouts has the labels turned 90° from the layout of the Patented Designs. The advantage of this layout is that more labels can be obtained from a single sheet of 8½ × 11" label stock. It would function as a label sheet just as well as a label sheet bearing the Patented Designs. (Docket Entry No. 260-9, Expert Report of Amy Sharp at 3-4.) Thus, as in L.A. Gear, 988 F.2d at 1123, PHG has come forward with evidence in support of its summary judgment motion that a myriad of medical label sheet designs could achieve the same functions that are achieved by the patented designs; that is, alternatives do not adversely affect the utility of the medical label sheet. See PHG Technologies, LLC, 469 F.3d at 1367. This evidence suggests that PHG's patented designs are primarily ornamental. Because St. John, the non-moving party, has not produced any evidence contradictory to Ms. Sharp's expert opinion, St. John has not shown there is a genuine issue of material fact for trial and has not carried its burden to show by clear and convincing evidence that the patented designs are functional, thus rendering the patents invalid. See Rosco, Inc. v. Mirror Lite Co., 304 F.3d 1373, 1378-1379 (Fed.Cir.2002) ("Mirror Lite has not shown by clear and convincing evidence that there are no designs, other than the one shown in Rosco's 357 patent, that have the same functional capabilities as Rosco's oval mirror."); Continental Plastic Containers, 141 F.3d at 1079. Since issuance of the Federal Circuit's opinion, St. John has shifted gears. It now focuses upon the disclosure in the TimeMed case that Brian Moyer patterned PHG's patented designs on the PLS-103, a laser label sheet of thirty labels which PHG had been purchasing from James Riley's company, Riley, Barnard & O'Connell ("RB & O"), and selling to PHG customers. PHG Technologies, LLC v. TimeMed Labeling Sys., Inc., 2006 WL 2052701 at 3-4 (M.D.Tenn. July 21, 2006). Based on evidence presented at the evidentiary hearing on a motion to correct inventorship, the Court found "that Moyer and Stewart copied all of the elements of the PLS-103 except for the new die cuts in the bottom two rows of the design depicted in the '405 and '197 patents and reduced to practice in the 20-101AW." Id. at 4. The Court specifically noted that "Stewart conceded at his deposition that Moyer incorporated the, design of the upper twenty-seven (27) labels of the PLS-103 into the 20-101 AW. (Stewart Depo. at 73-74.)" Id. The Court further found: While there may have been, as Moyer testified, many label sheets with holes punched in them available in the market at the time Moyer and Stewart designed the 20-101 AW in 2000, Moyer and Stewart did not adopt the elements of punched holes and a pattern adhesive because those elements were common knowledge in the marketplace. Rather, Moyer and Stewart adopted the features because "they were the hallmark of the PLS-103, and the PLS-103 had been a successful product for PHG. Id. St. John contends that, because the facts now undisputedly show that James Riley originated most of PHG's patented design as part of the PLS-103 label sheet, Moyer's and Stewart's contribution to the patents-in-suit consists solely of the substitution of two rows of wristband labels for the bottom row of Riley's chart labels on the PLS-103. St. John asserts that PHG's "patents can be valid only if this small 862 change in and of itself meets the ornamentality standard . . . if the difference between the prior art PLS-103 and the patented design is `primarily functional' the patents must be invalid.", (Docket Entry No. 257, Supp. Memorandum at 5.) St. John further reasons that "[o]nce the issue is properly framed in this way, the invalidity question has only one possible answer because of [PHG's] EasyID software and its functional requirements." (Id.) St. John presents deposition testimony of Thomas Stewart confirming that "[w]hen a hospital uses EasyID software to drive its printers to print label sheets . . . those label sheets have to have the configuration shown" in the patented design unless the software is modified. (Docket Entry No. 257, Ex. 5, Stewart Depo. at 63.) St. John also points to the testimony of Brian Moyer, who stated that, to his knowledge, PHG had not helped any customer modify PHG's software after sale because "[w]e want to sell them our labels." (Docket Entry No. 257, Ex. 3, Moyer Depo. at 88-89.) From this testimony, St. John suggests that "the fact that label sheets of the patented configuration are needed to fully make use of the EasyID software hospitals have purchased from [PHG] compel[s] the conclusion that the label sheet configuration is functional[ ]" as a matter of law, not ornamental. (Docket Entry No. 257, Supp. Memorandum at 6.) "The labels must be positioned where the printer is programmed to print. The wristband labels cannot be moved, as [PHG] has proposed, to form a functionally equivalent alternative design." (Id. at 7.) According to St. John, any alteration of the patented design PHG might propose would, in the words of the Federal Circuit, adversely affect the utility of the specified article such that the alteration would not truly be an "alternative" within the meaning of case law. St. John states that "[t]here can be no doubt that the need to employ a particular patented design for purposes of compatibility with a complementary product renders that design functional and precludes valid design patent protection." (Id.) Relying on Best Lock Corp. v. Ilco Unican Corp., 94 F.3d 1563, 1566 (Fed.Cir.1996), St. John contends the configuration of PHG's label sheet is dictated solely by functional concerns because of the requirements of PHG's EasyID software, just as "[a]ny aesthetic appeal of the key blade design shown in the '636 patent" at issue in Best Lock Corp. was "the inevitable result of having a shape that it dictated solely by functional concerns." Because alternative designs would adversely affect the utility of the label sheet design, such design must be primarily functional, not ornamental. A design patent protects the non-functional aspects of an ornamental design seen as a whole and as shown in the patent. Amini Innovation Corp. v. Anthony California, Inc., 439 F.3d 1365, 1370 (Fed.Cir.2006). Like PHG, the Court believes that. St. John impermissibly seeks to narrow the scope of PHG's design patent rights by imposing arbitrary requirements associated with the commercial product such as that the label sheets be used in a specific way (with PHG's software) or that the label sheets must be of a particular size (8½ × 11) or that the labels on the sheet must be a specific dimension or that the label sheets be made of a specific material (laser label sheets). However, none of these arbitrary limitations are specified in the patents and thus none are part of or limitations on the patent rights granted to PHG. (Docket Entry No. 134, PHG's Memorandum at 4.) A design patent has almost no scope, and the claim at bar is limited to 863 what is shown in the application drawings. See Elmer v. ICC Fabricating, Inc., 67 F.3d 1571, 1577 (Fed.Cir.1995). "`[T]he determination of whether the patented design is dictated by the function of the article of manufacture must ultimately rest on an analysis of its overall appearance." PHG Technologies, LLC, 469 F.3d at 1366 (quoting Berry Sterling Corp., 122 F.3d at 1455.) The drawings in the '405 and '197 patents affirm that it is the overall design of the medical label sheet that is patentednot just the details of its ornamentation. Amin, 439 F.3d at 1371. In Berry Sterling Corp., 122 F.3d at 1455, the court noted the design patent for an "ornamental design for a container to fit a vehicle cup receptacle" contained "no height or volume limitations, no requirements that the container fit in the majority of car cup holders, and no stability limitations imposed by the claim." As in Berry Sterling Corp., in this case PHG has presented evidence that the design patents include no limitations as to the size of the label sheet, no requirement that the label sheet fit in a standard printer or be made from specific materials such as laser stock, and no specification that the label sheet be able to run through a high temperature laser printer. Thus, under Berry Sterling Corp., the Court is not to consider whether the patented `designs can be used with any particular software or printer because there are no such limitations on the scope of PHG's design patents. Thus, as a matter of law, St. John cannot demonstrate that PHG's design patents are invalid on the ground that the labels must be positioned specifically to work in combination with PHG's computer software. The Court previously discussed above evidence that PHG's design is not solely dictated by its function because there were alternative designs available for the article of manufacture. See Best Lock Corp., 94 F.3d at 1566; Rosco, Inc., 304 F.3d at 1378. Also, the evidence shows that Moyer and Stewart arrived at this particular design because it had the "best flow and look," and at least some of PHG's customers use the 20-101AW label sheet without simultaneous use of PHG's protected software or a printer. For these reasons, Best Lock Corp. does not control here, and St. John's opposition to PHG's summary judgment motion must fail. b. The on-sale bar The Court discussed above in connection with St. John's motion for summary judgment the issue of an on-sale bar. For the reasons previously stated, the Court concludes that St. John has failed to present sufficient clear and convincing evidence to create a genuine issue of material fact for trial on whether Ward/Kraft or PHG placed on sale before the critical date medical label sheets embodying the patented design. Accordingly, the Court concludes that PHG is entitled to summary judgment on this issue as the design patents are not invalid due to an on-sale bar. The Court notes that St. John included in its Combined Memorandum in Opposition to PHG's Motion for Summary Judgment and Reply Brief in Support of St. John's Motion for Summary Judgment (Docket Entry No. 210) an argument that PHG's patents are invalid due to the "public use" statutory bar of 35 U.S.C. § 102(b). PHG did not address the "public use" statutory bar as a reason why its design patents are valid. Thus, the Court sees no reason to address St. John's discussion of `the issue in connection with PHG's motion for summary judgment. The Court also will not address the "public use" statutory bar with regard to St. John's own motion for summary judgment because St. John raised the issue for the first time in a reply brief, yet. St. John could have raised the issue in its opening 864 brief and given PHG an opportunity to respond. The Court concludes that St. John's asserted "on-sale" and "public use" defenses must fail. The Court notes, however, that St. John has asserted other affirmative defenses to the patent infringement claims, Counts I and II, which are not addressed in PHG's motion for summary judgment. Thus, although PHG is entitled to summary judgment on the specific issues raised in the instant motion, PHG is not entitled to final entry of summary judgment on its claims of infringement in Counts I and II. 2. Patent infringement PHG next seeks summary judgment in its favor on the patent infringement claims stated in Counts I & II. Whether a design patent is infringed is determined by first construing the claim to the design and then comparing it to the accused design. Elmer, 67 F.3d at 1577; OddzOn Prod., Inc. v. Just Toys, Inc., 122 F.3d 1396, 1404 (Fed.Cir.1997). The Court must determine whether the patented design as a whole is substantially similar in appearance to the accused design. OddzOn Prod., Inc., 122 F.3d at 1405. The patented and accused designs are compared for overall visual similarity. Elmer, 67 F.3d at 1577; Contessa Food Prods., Inc. v. Conagra, Inc., 282 F.3d 1370, 1376 (Fed.Cir.2002). Comparison of the patented design to the accused design involves two distinct tests, both of which must be satisfied in order to find infringement: (1) the "ordinary observer" test and (2) the "point of novelty" test. Contessa Food Prods., Inc., 282 F.3d at 1376; Payless Shoesource, Inc. v. Reebok Int'l Ltd., 998 F.2d 985, 990 (Fed.Cir.1993); Unidynamics Corp. v. Automatic Prods. Int'l Ltd., 157 F.3d 1311, 1323 (Fed.Cir.1998). The "ordinary observer" test originated in Gorham Co. v. White, 81 U.S. (14 Wall.) 511, 528, 20 L.Ed. 731 (1871): [I]f, in the eye of an ordinary observer, giving such attention as a purchaser usually gives, two designs are substantially the same, if the resemblance is such as to deceive such an observer, inducing him to purchase one supposing it to be the other, the first one patented is infringed by the other. Under Gorham the focus is on the overall ornamental appearance of the claimed design, not selected ornamental features. Elmer, 67 F.3d at 1578. Proper application of the Gorham test requires that an accused design be compared to the claimed design, not to a commercial embodiment. Payless Shoesource, Inc., 998 F.2d at 990. The "point of novelty" test requires proof that the accused design appropriates the novelty which distinguishes the patented design from the prior art. Contessa Food Prods., Inc., 282 F.3d at 1377. Although application of the two tests may sometimes lead to the same result, it is legal, error to merge the two tests, for example, by relying on the claimed overall design as the point of novelty. Contessa Food Prods., Inc., 282 F.3d at 1377. The focus of the "point of novelty" test is on those aspects of the patented design that make it different from prior art. Id The ultimate question is whether the effect of the accused design viewed as a whole is substantially the same as the patented design. Payless Shoesource, Inc., 998 F.2d at 991. PHG's claim in the '405 patent is the "ornamental design for the medical label sheet, as shown." Figures 1 and 2 show the front view and front perspective view of the Medical Label Sheet. Figures 3, 5 and 6 show three alternative embodiments of the Medical Label Sheet. PHG's claim in the '197 patent is the "ornamental design for a label pattern for a medical label 865 sheet, as shown." Figures 1 and 2 show the front view and front perspective view of the label pattern for a medical label sheet. As to both patents, PHG identifies the ornamental features of its design as the size and the placement of labels on the medical label sheet. The Court must compare St. John's accused design, viewed as a whole, to the ornamental depiction, claimed in PHG's design patents. The Court is to compare the accused design to the claimed design; the Court is not to compare the claimed design to St. John's commercial embodiment. When properly compared, St. John's accused label design is substantially the same as PHG's patented designs as shown in the '405 and '197 patents. See Payless Shoesource, Inc., 998 F.2d at 991. Additionally, the same configuration of hole punches as shown in the '405 patent at the top and left side of the patented design is found in St. John's accused design as well. An ordinary observer would be unable to identify any differences in St. John's design and PHG's patented design. The substantially identical nature of the designs is likely to deceive ordinary observers, inducing them to purchase St. John's accused product rather than PHG's. St. John's design also appropriates the novelty of PHG's patented design which distinguishes it from the prior art, that is, the different sizes of labels in the bottom two rows and their placement within the overall design. See Contessa Food Prods., Inc., 282 F.3d at 1377. St. John contends that its accused product does not appropriate the "point of novelty" of PHG's patented designs because PHG identifies the "point of novelty" as "the different sizes of labels and their placement on the sheet." St. John reminds the Court that James Riley contributed "most of this supposed `point of novelty' and included it in the prior art PLS-103." (Docket Entry No. 210, Combined Memorandum at 20,) This argument is without merit. The evidence establishes that St. John's design appropriates the "point of novelty" of PHG's patented design which distinguishes it from the prior art, which is the different sizes of labels in the bottom two rows and their placement within the overall design. The evidence is undisputed that the design of Riley's PLS-103 did not include various sizes of labels in the bottom two rows. Rather, the design of the PLS-103 included thirty rectangular labels, 2 ½" × 1" in size, in three rows of ten labels each, which were shifted to the right and down to create room for five 1/4" diameter punch holes along the top of the sheet and seven 1/4" punch holes along the left margin. The evidence shows that Moyer and Stewart conceived of the design which replaces the bottom one row of labels of the PLS-103 with two rows of labels of various sizes. St. John concedes "that the individually removable labels of the St. John product correspond in size and shape to the labels of the patent[ed] design." (Id. at 21.) Thus, St. John's accused design appropriates the "point of novelty" of the '405 and '197 patents. Moreover, the "point of novelty" is primarily ornamental, not functional, as discussed above. Finally, St. John contends that PHG presented the U.S. Patent Office with designs consisting entirely of black lines on a white background. The patent examiner did not see white labels on a white background and did not consider the design patentability of a white-on-white pattern. St. John claims "pit is only if the lines of separation are readily visible, creating substantially the same visual impression as the patent drawings, that the patented design exists. Lines printed on the sheet that have the patented appearance but do not define the shape of removable labels would infringe, but similarly configured actual lines of separation that do not have 866 that appearance do not infringe." (Id.) St. John has not cited any case supporting this argument. As the Court previously noted in its prior opinion, PHG Technologies, LLC, 2005 WL 3301601 at7: Other design patents have employed black lines to indicate the placement of labels on a sheet. (Prelim. Inj. Hr'g, Plaintiffs Collective Ex. 1, "Tab Compatible Divider Label Sheet," Burke; et al. (U.S.Pat. No. Des.423,044); "Print Indicia and Address Label Sheet", Hamilton et al. (U.S. Pat. No. D448,404 S); "Label Form," Sanford et al. (U.S. Pat. No. D473,264 S); "Label Sheet," Hodsdon et al. (U.S. Pat. No. D476,031 S).) Consequently, the Court determines it is improper to compare St. John's product (Prelim. Inj. Hr'g, Plaintiffs Ex. 6) to PHG's product with black lines drawn on it to resemble the drawing in PHG's '405 design patent. (Prelim. Inj. Hr'g, Defendant's Ex. 1.) The critical comparison is the overall design of St. John's medical label sheet to the ornamental depiction contained in PHG's design patents. When compared, St. John's accused design and PHG's patented design are identical. An ordinary observer would be very hardpressed to identify any differences in the two designs. St. John has not generated a genuine issue of material fact for trial on these particular issues raised concerning whether its accused design infringes PHG's patented designs. St. John points out, however, that it has raised other affirmative defenses to infringement, including estoppel, unclean hands, and patent misuse, which have not been addressed by the parties. Because defenses affecting the infringement analysis remain outstanding, PHG has not shown its entitlement to summary judgment on its own Counts I and II or on St. John's Counterclaim Counts I and II. 3. Trademark claims PHG claims that (1) it is entitled to a summary judgment finding its federally-registered "EasyID" trademark is valid, that it is the owner of the mark, and that it has a right to use the mark; (2) it is entitled to summary judgment on the trademark infringement claim stated in Count VII; and (3) it is entitled to summary judgment finding common law trademark infringement, unfair competition, and violation of the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act (Counts VIII, IX & X). The sole evidentiary support PHG offers in support of these claims is the Affidavit of Brian Moyer (Docket Entry No. 149). The Court identifies numerous problems with the Moyer Affidavit which preclude the Court from effectively analyzing the trademark infringement claims. Moyer attests that the trademark is federally registered, ¶ 65, but a copy of the federal registration is not provided. St. John placed a copy of the federal trademark registration into the record. The Moyer Affidavit is replete with self-serving and conclusory statements for which no evidentiary support is provided and for which the basis of Moyer's personal knowledge in making such statements is not explained. Several examples are: ¶ 68, "PHG's EasyID Trademark has been used with its extensively promoted and advertised software and label sheets, and is widely recognized as a source of superior quality and accuracy for patient identification[ ]"; ¶ 69, "In the relative market, namely that for medical label sheets, PHG enjoys exclusive use of the EasyID Trademark, except for the use by infringers now in litigation[]; ¶ 74, "St. John promoted and offered its identical label sheets under the infringing EASY ID name through the same channels 867 of trade for sale to the same claw of purchasers as does PHG for its own products[]"; ¶ 76, "St. John's sales representatives also contacted potential customers by telephone, made on-site presentation, and distributed point of sale materials[ ]"; ¶ 78, "St. John promoted and sold the St. John accused product to customers St. John knew were already using or had used the EasyID brand label sheets[]"; ¶ 83, "St. John used the words `EASY ID' to knowingly promote and sell the accused product to customers of PHG's products[ ]"; and ¶ 85, "St. John intended to select the "EASY ID" mark for its, identical accused product knowing of PHG's extensive use of its "EasyID" Trademark." PHG has not presented any substantive evidence to support these broad allegations, which in some cases appear to mimick legal tests that the Court must apply. There is no evidence of trademark use, advertising or promotion to establish the strength of the mark; of actual confusion of consumgrs in the marketplace, if such evidence exists; of the marketing channels used; or of the likely degree of care exercised by the purchaser. Without evidence, the Court cannot address the eight applicable factors to determine likelihood of confusion as stated in Frisch's Restaurants, Inc. v. Elby's Big Boy of Steubenville, Inc., 670 F.2d 642, 648 (6th Cir.1982). The paucity of evidence precludes the Court from granting PHG summary judgment on the claims and counterclaims relating to its trademark. Accordingly, the motion will be summarily denied. PHG has not shown its entitlement to summary judgment on Counts VII, VIII, IX and X or on St. John's Counterclaim Counts VII, VIII, IX and X. 4. Implied license Finally, PHG seeks summary judgment on St. John's affirmative defense of implied license. St. John asserted in response to the claims brought against it that because of PHG's conduct in charging certain customers higher prices for computer software if the customers refused to execute sole source agreements for labels, such purchasers of PHG's software acquired an implied license to obtain from any source label sheets that can be used with the PHG software. St. John claims that, as a supplier to such purchasers, St. John enjoyed the benefit of the implied license and is sheltered by the license from claims of infringement by PHG. The case on which St. John relies, Leitch Mfg. Co. v. Barber Co., 302 U.S. 458, 463, 58 S.Ct. 288, 82 L.Ed. 371 (1938), is inapposite to the facts of this case. There the Barber Company owned a process patent which defined in the claims of the patent a method of road building. Id. at 460, 58 S.Ct. 288. Leitch Manufacturing Company, Barber's competitor, delivered bituminous emulsion, which is an unpatented material, to a road builder knowing that the material would be used in accordance with the method claimed in Barber's process patent. Id. Leitch contended that Barber's claim for contributory infringement could not survive because if it did, Barber would be allowed to obtain a limited monopoly of an unpatented staple of commerce. Id. The Supreme Court agreed observing that "every use of a patent as a means of obtaining a limited monopoly of unpatented material is prohibited. It applies whether the patent be for a machine, a product, or a process. It applies whatever the nature of the device by which, owner of the patent seeks to effect such unauthorized extension of the monopoly." Id. at 463, 58 S.Ct. 288. Here, by contrast, PHG is the owner of design patents on medical label sheets, but there is no evidence that PHG sought to obtain a limited monopoly on unpatented material. The Court agrees with PHG that the doctrine of implied license applies only 868 to method or combination patents, Lifescan, Inc. v. Polymer Technology Intern. Corp., 35 U.S.P.Q.2d 1225, 1231 (W.D.Wash.1995), and St. John admitted that PHG's '405 and '197 patents are neither method nor combination patents (Docket Entry No. 179, Response to Statement of Undisputed Facts ¶ 76). Moreover, PHG alleges that St. John is a direct infringer under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a) because St. John without authority made, used, or sold a patented invention within the United States during the term of the patent. Thus, "whether or not [PHG's] customers have an implied license to practice the methods claimed in the two patents . . . such a license does not create an implied license for [St. John] to make and sell" the medical label sheets claimed in the '405 and '197 patents. See Lifescan, Inc., 35 U.S.P.Q.2d at 1232 (emphasis, in original). Thus, PHG is entitled to summary judgment on this affirmative defense. III. CONCLUSION St. John's motion for summary judgment on PHG's Counts I & II and St. John's Counterclaim Counts I & II will be denied. St. John has not carried its burden to show by clear and convincing evidence that there is a genuine issue of material fact for trial on its claim that PHG's design patents are invalid due to an on-sale bar. PHG's motion for partial summary judgment will be granted in part and denied in part. The motion will be granted on two patent validity issues: (1) St. John failed to carry its burden to show by clear and convincing evidence that there is a genuine issue of material fact for trial on whether PHG's patented designs are primarily functional, not ornamental; and (2) St. John did not carry its burden to show by clear and convincing evidence that there is a genuine issue of material fact for trial on its claim that PHG's design patents are invalid due to an on-sale bar. PHG's motion will be granted as a matter of law with regard to St. John's affirmative defense of implied license. PHG's motion will also be granted because St. John has not generated a genuine issue of material fact for trial on whether its accused design infringes PHG's patented designs. Because St. John has raised other affirmative defenses to infringement, including estoppel, unclean hands, and patent misuse, which have not' been addressed by the parties and remain outstanding, PHG has not shown its entitlement to summary judgment on its own Counts I and II or on St. John's Counterclaim Counts I and II. PHG's motion will be summarily denied with regard to the trademark claims because PHG has not produced evidence from which the Court can determine whether PHG has shown its entitlement to summary judgment on Counts VII, VIII, IX and X or on St. John's Counterclaim Counts VII, VIII, IX and X. An appropriate Order will be entered. NOTES [1] Despite PHG's request that the Court uphold its prior findings at this later stage of the litigation, the Court cannot do so. The Court's previous factual findings were made following an evidentiary hearing on PHG's motion for a preliminary injunction. Presently before the Court is PHG's motion for summary judgment. As PHG knows, different standards apply in evaluating the evidence placed in the summary judgment record before the Court, and the Court is not permitted to make factual findings in the summary judgment context. [2] The Federal Circuit held that PHG did not show a likelihood of success on the merits because it did not offer testimony refuting the assertions of St. John's CEO, Adam Press, that functional considerations dictated the design, "specifically the `novel feature' of the differently-sized labels being placed at the bottom of the sheet." Id. at 1368. The court also believed that this Court did not make an explicit finding "on whether the alleged alternatives are in fact functionally equivalent (i.e., that the alternatives do not adversely affect the utility of the medical label sheet)[.]" Id. at 1367. [3] Although the Federal Circuit took this Court to task for not addressing the Press Affidavit in its preliminary injunction decision, the Court specifically referenced Mr. Press' similar testimony given at the preliminary injunction hearing:" According to Press, St. John utilized the same design for a medical label sheet as PHG because function is best served in doing so. St. John placed labels for adult and pediatric wristbands at the bottom of the label sheet, as did PHG, because a wristband label logically is removed first when admitting the patient to the hospital. Moreover, the wristband label is easier to remove from the backing sheet when it is placed at the bottom edge. Chart labels are arranged in three rows of nine starting at the top of the sheet because the die cuts are easier and cheaper to make.

New Chevrolet Cruze gets 46 miles to the gallon April 19, 2013 12:00 AM Many drivers are making fuel economy a more important part of their car considerations, which means the new diesel version of the Chevrolet Cruze should be getting plenty of attention. The 2014 version of the car is said to receive 46 miles per gallon on the highway, making it more efficient than even several hybrids. The Detroit Free Press reports that, although the normal Toyota Prius hybrid gets slightly better mileage, the attractive fuel economy may make the Cruze a popular option for drivers. Easy auto repair and maintenance may also help out, as the vehicle achieves superior fuel economy without the high prices and challenges that typically come with hybrids. "We harnessed generations of diesel expertise to adapt our world-class global engine for the North American market," Gary Altman, chief engineer for the Cruze diesel, told The Wall Street Journal. According to USA Today, not all of the aspects of the mileage are as well regarded. The city rating sits at 27 miles per gallon, and the mixed rating is 33 miles per gallon. Those numbers put it in range of the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, which gets 42 miles to the gallon highway, as well as 30 mpg in the city and 34 mpg mixed.	{ "pile_set_name": "Pile-CC" }

Q: Is it possible to create a property from another property within the same prototype object? New to coding: I'm trying to do something like this in Javascript: function Calculator(a,b){ this.a=a; this.b=b; this.c=ab; this.d=c; } var myTiCalc = new Calculator(1,2); alert(myTiCalc.d); So that it prints "d" in an alert box. However I keep getting a "Nan" in the alert. Appreciate your expertise! A: function Calculator(a,b){ this.a=a; this.b=b; this.c=ab; this.d=this.c; } var myTiCalc = new Calculator(1,2); alert(myTiCalc.d); In the line #5 you put this.d=c; instead of this.d=this.c. Variable c was not defined anywhere. What I think you need is to assign property c to d of the Calculator object, so you need to call it with the this keyword.	{ "pile_set_name": "StackExchange" }

(CNN) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton said she "misspoke" last week when she gave a dramatic description of her arrival in Bosnia 12 years ago, recounting a landing under sniper fire. Clinton was responding to a question Monday from the Philadelphia Daily News' editorial board about video footage of the event that contradicted her assertion that her group "ran with our heads down" from the plane to avoid sniper fire at the Tuzla Air Base. Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for rival Sen. Barack Obama's campaign, said the Bosnia claim was part of "a growing list of instances in which Sen. Clinton has exaggerated her role in foreign and domestic policymaking." Don't Miss "I have been in the public eye for many, many years, and this is something that I think happens to anybody," she told radio station KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In a foreign policy speech last week at George Washington University, Clinton used the description of a dangerous arrival to bolster her argument that she has the foreign policy experience needed to be commander in chief. She said when she arrived in Bosnia on March 25, 1996, "I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base." But news video footage of her arrival at Tuzla shows Clinton, then the first lady, calmly walking from the rear ramp of a U.S. Air Force plane with her daughter, Chelsea, then 16, at her side. Both Clintons held their heads up and did not appear rushed. The video shows Clinton spending several minutes talking with the group, including an 8-year-old Bosnian girl who presented her with a poem, and later greeting U.S. troops. Clinton has mentioned the sniper fire at least twice earlier in the campaign, including in December in Dubuque, Iowa, before the caucuses in that state. During Monday's editorial meeting -- in which Clinton was seeking the Daily News' endorsement ahead of Pennsylvania's April 22 primary -- she was asked about the apparent discrepancy. The newspaper reported her response: "Now let me tell you what I can remember, OK -- because what I was told was that we had to land a certain way and move quickly because of the threat of sniper fire. So I misspoke -- I didn't say that in my book or other times but if I said something that made it seem as though there was actual fire -- that's not what I was told," she told the newspaper. "I was told we had to land a certain way, we had to have our bulletproof stuff on because of the threat of sniper fire. I was also told that the greeting ceremony had been moved away from the tarmac but that there was this 8-year-old girl and, I can't, I can't rush by her, I've got to at least greet her -- so I greeted her, I took her stuff and then I left. Now that's my memory of it." Meanwhile, as Clinton backpedaled from the description of her Bosnia trip, the senator from New York was keeping her focus on the economy with a town hall-style meeting Tuesday in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Clinton also pushed back against recent speculation by pundits and Democratic insiders that her chances of securing the nomination are quickly diminishing. "I know there are some in Washington, and some in the media, who want this race to be over," she said to a loud chorus of boos. "There are some who think we don't need to hear the voices of people in Pennsylvania or Indiana or North Carolina or Montana or any of the other states that haven't had their chance to vote. Well, I disagree." Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, focused on the economy and the housing situation Tuesday, participating in a roundtable discussion in Santa Ana, California.	{ "pile_set_name": "Pile-CC" }
Pointer Brand Chore Coats When it comes to rugged fashion, there are few things that get a beadsman’s blood pumping quite like denim, canvas, and leather. If you’re looking to add to your collection, check out these three chore coats from Pointer Brand. Pointer Brand is the flagship brand from L.C. King Manufacturing based in Bristol, Tennessee (they manufacture for other brands too). Landon Clayton King started the business in 1913 to fulfill a need for tough, durable workwear clothes that could withstand the rigors of a day in the woods, farm, or afield. King raised champion bird dogs in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and approached the production of his garments with the same exacting standards he held for training his dogs. In fact, the name Pointer Brand was inspired by his dogs’ ruggedness, character, and style. You’ll see the iconic pointer dog logo on a patch on every garment. L.C. King is the oldest family-owned cut-and-sew garment facility in the United States and is now owned by Jack King, the great-grandson of Landon Clayton King. The company has been passed down from father to son for four generations. Loyalty. Pedigree. Family. At one time L.C. King was a bustling factory with 130 workers creating workwear for blue-collar workers while supplying overalls, chore coats, pants, and jeans to large companies like Sears. Today, 10% of their workforce has been with them for over 30 years. While Pointer Brand’s designs are clearly rooted in their American Heritage, they are more relevant than ever as people are gravitating to items that are built to last and represent an American work-ethic and spirit. Pointer Brand’s chore coats are as good as it gets. The four pocket design is downright historic, while the cut and fit are surprisingly modern. The button down fronts are classic and tough. Workwear as fashion? Absolutely. All of the denim is small batch handmade, with no exception. It all comes from Cone Mills at their White Oak Facility in Greensboro, North Carolina. Cone is regarded as one of the oldest and best denim producers in the United States. They’ve been at it since 1905 and their quality is second-to-none. The Indigo Denim Raw Chore Coat I picked up met all expectations. The dark raw denim offset by the white stitching has a sharp and classic look. The polished nickel buttons all have the Pointer Brand logo on them, and I loved the top loading pockets, one of which snaps. It pairs great with more denim, or chinos. It is unwashed, unprocessed, and unaffected. Pure unadulterated raw denim beauty. The Brown Duck Chore Coat is an American Classic too. It’s a lightweight unlined duck canvas work coat that worked great with jeans. The brass buttons have the Pointer Logo in subtle green paint for a unique touch. I went with the traditional collar (versus the banded collar) and was thrilled with the look. While these are designed as a traditional overcoat, they recommend considering it as a base for layering as well. The third jacket I tried was the Washed Indigo Chore Coat, and it was probably my favorite. Unlike the raw version, it is pre-washed and pre-shrunk 1/4 to 1/2 size. When I took it out of the box it looked like I had owned it all my life, and it fit as much. It felt broken-in and imperfect, in a good way. This one definitely could be used as a base layer, as it’s unlined and the most fitted. It’s clear that every detail is painstakingly poured over at Pointer Brand. There was not a single flaw in any aspect of these three coats. Every hand-sewed stitch and seam was flawless. In addition to those shown, they are available in woodland camo, navy wool, navy duck, fisher stripe, hickory stripe, and white drill. They come with a standard collar, shawl collar, or banded collar. They run a bit big, so you’ll want to size down one if you want a fitted look. If you’re looking to wear multiple layers under it you may want to go with your traditional size. If you’re close to Bristol, stop by their factory store and check out their operation. Pointer Brand and L.C. King are the definition of heritage and authenticity; born out of a time when ones word was as strong as oak, there weren’t any shortcuts to a job well done, and people cared what others thought about their work.	{ "pile_set_name": "Pile-CC" }
News Releases Supporters Can Tackle Climate Change and Help Save Madagascar’s Wildlife June 15, 2017 Julie Larsen Maher_9559_Red-ruffed lemur_MAD_BZ_06 06 08_hr SAN FRANCISCO–Cool EffectTM, a non-profit organization curating the world’s premier carbon reduction projects, announced the addition of Madagascar’s Makira Natural Park Project to its platform in partnership with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). Individual contributions to the project will reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and conserve the rainforest’s endangered plants and species. Through Cool Effect’s digital platform, individuals can now support the Makira Natural Park Project by making a one-time contribution or a monthly pledge. Continued conservation efforts protect the park’s biodiversity, which is home to an incredible array of wildlife, including four lemur species that are critically endangered. Support of the project will also directly benefit the local community by improving infrastructure, providing health and education services, and supporting the training and continued implementation of sustainable agricultural practices. “WCS is delighted to partner with Cool Effect to fight climate change by helping safeguard the carbon-rich Makira forest, Madagascar’s most biodiverse protected area” said Todd Stevens, WCS Executive Director of Markets, Conservation Solutions. “Not only will the Cool Effect community be doing its part to keep the climate cool, but it will also help save incredible wildlife including 20 species of lemurs and more than 50 percent of Madagascar’s plant diversity.” Launched in 2005, the Makira Natural Park Project was developed by WCS in partnership with the Government of Madagascar as a REDD+ project (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation “plus” conservation). Upon its inception, the project was the first sale of government-owned, government-led REDD+ credits in Africa. Makira Natural Park covers a total of 372,460 hectares, is one of Madagascar’s largest protected areas, and is home to an estimated 1% of the world’s biodiversity. With consistent funding to the project, Madagascar’s government hopes to protect the forest and foster sustainable development. “The addition of the Makira Natural Park Project further maintains the promise to our Cool Effect community that we will continue to bring them only the highest quality carbon reducing projects,” said Marisa de Belloy, COO of Cool Effect. “We are excited to partner with WCS to support the project and Madagascar’s efforts to protect this valuable, biodiverse habitat.” Cool Effect currently features eleven projects on the platform all across the globe, verifiably reducing carbon with simple technology such as efficient cookstoves, wind turbines, and biogas digesters. The price per tonne varies by project and ranges from $4.12 - $13.18, with 90.13% of the funds dedicated directly to the projects and the remaining 9.87% covering transaction charges and Cool Effect’s operational fees – the minimum needed to operate as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Q: How to add the share kit in three20 and also in other views of app in iphone In my project im adding three20. The project is basically a photo and quiz app. For the photos client want to display just like three20.He also want to share the pictures through facebook and twitter.So i integrated the sharekit in three20. In the quiz also all questions is to be shared through facebook. So when i add the sharekit in three20 and quiz,it is not compiling and some errors are showing. So there any way to add the sharekit two part of the same project. Can anyone please tell me a solution for this. Thanks in advance. A: Most likely you will have included the same files in the project twice: The usual suspects are Reachability and ASIHTTP. Just make sure all your classes are unique. PS. Your question is indeed stated a little bit cryptic. Please ignore my answer if this answer is besides the point, otherwise I will count this answer toward my psychic badge ;)	{ "pile_set_name": "StackExchange" }
Specific tolerance and immunocompetence in haploidentical, but not in completely allogeneic, canine chimeras treated with methotrexate and cyclosporine. Recipient dogs were conditioned with 9.2 Gy of total-body irradiation followed by the infusion of bone marrow and peripheral blood leukocytes from a DLA-haploidentical littermate (N = 10) or a completely allogeneic unrelated donor (n = 9). Graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis consisted of methotrexate (MTX) and cyclosporine (CsA). Postgrafting all dogs were complete lymphohemopoietic chimeras. Lymphocytes of haploidentical chimeras without GVHD were unresponsive to stimulation by host lymphocytes cryopreserved pregrafting. Lymphocytes of haploidentical chimeras with GVHD proliferated in response to host cells, albeit less than donor cells pregrafting. In completely allogeneic chimeras, neither lymphocytes from dogs with GVHD, nor those from dogs without the disease showed responses to host lymphocytes. In addition, cells from haploidentical chimeras obtained early after transplantation nonspecifically suppressed donor cell proliferation. Later on, lymphocytes from dogs without GVHD showed specific suppression of donor cells, while lymphocytes from chimeras with GVHD continued to show nonspecific suppression. Cells from completely allogeneic chimeras both with and without GVHD never suppressed donor cells specifically. Both specific and nonspecific suppressor cells were enriched by nylon wool adherence, expressed T cell markers, and were not affected by the addition of indomethacin. Even after removing nylon wool-adherent cells, however, chimera cells were unresponsive to stimulation by host cells. By one year after transplant, chimera lymphocytes no longer showed suppression. In cell-mediated lympholysis assays, lymphocytes from all chimeras, regardless of GVHD, failed to generate cytotoxic cells against host cell targets. However, while haploidentical chimeras showed cytotoxicity against third-party targets, completely allogeneic chimeras did not. This deficiency was not overcome by the addition of mixed leukocyte culture supernatant or donor lymphocytes. All chimeras had basically normal antibody responses to keyhole limpet hemocyanin and phage X174. However, while haploidentical chimeras had normal responses to bacillus Calnette-Guerin (BCG) sensitization and rejected DLA-incompatible skin grafts within the normal time frame, completely allogeneic chimeras were not sensitized by BCG and showed delayed skin graft rejection. Histopathological studies revealed slow thymic reconstitution in all chimeras, particularly in the presence of GVHD. However, while healthy haploidentical chimeras eventually showed thymic histology normal for age, completely allogeneic chimeras did not.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)	{ "pile_set_name": "PubMed Abstracts" }

Nikolai Markov (architect) Nikolai Lvovich Markov (, , 9 January 1883 – 19 November 1957) was an Iranian architect of Russian descent. Biography Prior to his decisive settling in Iran, Markov was a high-ranking member of the Imperial Russian army, and fought in the Caucasus against the Bolsheviks under Colonel Nikolai Baratov, the commander of the Russian forces in Iran and to whose staff he was attached, and had served with the fanatically anti-Bolshevik Major-General Lazar Bicherakov, another one of Baratov's senior officers. A staunch supporter of the White movement, in the years around and after the Bolshevik Revolution, he had served as a captain in the Persian Cossack Brigade under General Vsevolod Starosselsky as well. Nikolai Markov later worked for the Municipality of Tehran where he built many buildings. Alborz High School, the Post Office and Telecommunications of Tehran, factories and even a mosque. He was buried at the Doulab Cemetery.

Today in Weird Science I May Never Understand… As an always-on-the-go 20-something food publicist, I eat an equal number of meals in restaurants as I do in my own apartment. I can’t complain about dining out for a living (although the resulting doubled gym time can be hard to maintain!), but I will say that the perishables in my fridge tend to, well, perish due to my neglect when eating at restaurants. A lot of sniffing, poking and staring results as I do my best to determine whether or not the week-old ground chicken and last month’s Greek yogurt in my fridge will poison me upon consumption. The good news? I haven’t given myself food poisoning yet (KNOCK ON WOOD!). The bad news? I throw away a whole lot of food that could be perfectly okay. The solution? UK Design Student Solveiga Pakstaite has created bio-reactive food labels made with gelatin-based bumps that disintegrate at the same rate as the food within their packaging. According to Fast Company, when the gelatin label becomes runny, a hard ridge under the label is revealed, evidence that the food is no longer at its prime. Science isn’t exactly my strong suit (understatement of the century), but Pakstaite’s logic makes some serious sense. “Gelatin is protein, so it decays at the same rate as protein-based foods,” Pakstaite explained to Fast Company. “The label copies what the food in the package is doing.” Right now, a patent is pending and Pakstaite’s idea is an entry in the 2014 Dyson Awards. Man, it sure will be nice to stop over-smelling my expired proteins once these babies hit shelves!	{ "pile_set_name": "Pile-CC" }

Piles of human faeces left on a green space in a Honiton road will be cleaned up today after a horde of travellers departed Honiton last night. The unsavoury scene, on a parcel of land at the bottom of Old Elm Road, is currently being dealt with - while inspections of a playing field they also stayed on is set to be carried out today. It comes after police and officers from East Devon District Council executed an eviction notice on travellers who bunkered down on Violet Hayman Playing Field, off Honiton Bottom Road. Their presence had sent social media in Honiton into meltdown, with many residents voicing their concerns over the impact they were having on nearby roads. Speaking before their departure, Mike Allen, district councillor for Honiton St Michaels, said the travellers - who arrived in a fleet of vans and caravans, had been served with a 24 hour eviction notice. The group had previously occupied land at Silver Street and Old Elm Road before settling down on Violet Hayman Playing Field on Wednesday. Cllr Allen said he does not know what the state of the playing field is, but the land at Old Elm road is ‘covered in human waste’. He said: “It is being cleaned up while we speak. “The travellers left overnight and were headed towards Exeter. “Our officers did a very fast job with kind of thing - procedures have to take place to look at welfare and housing needs first. “We really want travellers to go to specially prepared areas where all the facilities are provided. “We are working on it.” Cllr Allen said the travellers left Violet Hayman Playing Field with ‘some resistance’, but could not elaborate on what happened. Nigel Wills, lead enforcement officer for Devon Investigations Ltd, which was tasked by East Devon District Council to act as enforcement officers, said 12 caravans had been parked on the playing field. He said: “Half were from Weston-super-Mare and the other half were parked up at Baker’s Field in Newton Abbott. “Items left at Violet Hayman Playing Field included garden waste from them chopping down residents’ trees, a large tent and bits and pieces of rubbish. “They have now gone down to Starcross.” Mr Wills added that EDDC was very proactive in dealing with the travellers as they used ‘common law’ practice, instead of going through the judicial processes. If they had chosen to do the latter, the travellers could have stayed at the playing field for up to three weeks more while the paperwork was drafted. Mr Wills said: “EDDC are very proactive - one of the best in the West Country. “They used common law instead of having to go to court. The eviction notice was served on Wednesday, but they ignored that. “We then went to the next stage. The travellers were not particularly helpful, we had to have a tow truck there. “The police were very good and very pleased with the result, together with EDDC.	{ "pile_set_name": "Pile-CC" }

Q: How to become an OpenCart guru? It seems like they have no documentation except some api calls on their official forums. I have experience with Zend framework and CodeIgniter framework. Can any OpenCart masters recommend me the best way to learn it and master in shortest amount of time? I have to do a big project with it soon. A: OpenCart 1.5.X developer quick start guide for beginners This guide is written for developers already familiar with PHP, OOP and the MVC architecture In the following, you'll see examples for the catalog side of the cart. The admin side is identical in function with the exception of the views which is noted in the relevant section Understanding Libraries All of the library functionality is accessible through Controller, Model and Views using $this->library_name. All of these can be found in the /system/library/ folder. For example, to access the current shopping cart's products, you'll need to use the Cart class, which is in /system/library/cart.php and can be accessed using $this->cart->getProducts() Commonly used items customer.php - Customer related functions user.php - Admin user related functions cart.php - Cart related functions config.php - All settings are loaded from this url.php - URL generation functions Understanding the route parameter OpenCart's framework relies on the route=aaa/bbb/ccc in the query string parameter to know what to load, and is the underpinning feature to finding the files you need to edit for each page. Most route's actually only use the aaa/bbb which should be seen as two parts, however some contain three parts aaa/bbb/ccc The first part aaa generally related to the folder within a generic folder such as the controller or template folders. The second part usually relates to the file name, without the relevant .php or .tpl extension. The third part is explained in the section "Understanding controllers" below Understanding languages Languages are stored in /catalog/language/ folder in the your-language subfolder. Within this, general text values used across various pages are stored in the your-language.php file inside the folder, so for the English language on the catalog side, you'll find the values in catalog/language/english/english.php. For specific page text, you'll need the route for the page (This is generally the case, but not always as you can specify any language file you like). For example, the search page has the route product/search, and therefore the language specific text for that page can be found in catalog/language/english/product/search.php (Notice the file's name and subfolder match the route followed by .php. To load the language in a controller, you use $this->language->load('product/search'); Then you can use the language library function get to retrieve specific language texts, such as $some_variable = $this->language->get('heading_title'); The language variables are assigned in the language file using a special variable $_ which is an array of keys and text values. In your /catalog/language/english/product/search.php you should find something similar to $_['heading_title'] = 'Search'; The values in the global language file english/english.php are automatically loaded and available to use without the $this->language->load method Understanding controllers Controllers are loaded based on the route and are fairly straight forward to understand. Controllers are located in the /catalog/controller/ folder. Continuing from the last example, the Controller for the Search page is in /product/search.php within this folder. Notice again that the route followed by .php is used. Opening the controller file, you'll see a Pascal Case classname extending the Controller class, called ControllerProductSearch. This again is specific to the route, with Controller followed by the subfolder name and file name without the extension capitalised. The capitalisation is not actually required, but it's recommended for easy readability. It's worth noting that classnames don't take any values from the subfolder and file name other than letters and numbers. Underscores are removed. Within the class are the methods. Methods in the class declared public are accessible to be run via the route - private are not. By default, with a standard two part route (aaa/bbb above), a default index() method is called. If the third part of a route (ccc above) is used, this method will be run instead. For example, account/return/insert will load the /catalog/controller/account/return.php file and class, and try to call the insert method Understanding Models Models in OpenCart are found in the /catalog/model/ folder and are grouped based on function, not route, and therefore you will need to load them in your controller via $this->load->model('xxx/yyy'); This will load the file in the subfolder xxx called yyy.php. It is then available to use via the object $this->model_xxx_yyy and as with controllers, you can only call its public methods. For instance, to resize an image, you would use the tool/image model and call its resize method as follows $this->load->model('tool/image'); $this->model_tool_image->resize('image.png', 300, 200); Understanding variable assignment in views from the controller In order to pass values to the view from the controller, you simply need to assign your data to the $this->data variable, which is essentially an array of key => value pairs. As an example $this->data['example_var'] = 123; Accessing this in a view is a little should be easy to understand if you're familiar with the extract() method which converts each key into a variable. So the example_var key becomes $example_var and can be accessed as such in the view. Understanding themes Themes are available to the catalog side only, and are basically a folder of templates, stylesheets and theme images. Theme folders are placed in the /catalog/view/theme/ folder followed by the theme name. The folder name isn't of importance with exception to the default folder The admin side uses /admin/view/template/ (skipping the /theme/theme-name/ from the path as it doesn't allow differing themes) Template files reside in a template folder within the theme folder. Should any template not be available for the currently selected theme, the default folder's template is used instead as a fallback. This means themes can be created with very few files and still function fully. It also reduces code duplication and issues as upgrades are made Understanding views (templates) As with language and models, the view file's are generally related to the route, though don't have to be at all. Templates on the catalog side are usually found in /catalog/view/theme/your-theme/template/ unless it doesn't exist, in which case the default theme's templates will be used. For our search page example above, the file is product/search.tpl. For routes with three parts, it is generally in aaa/bbb_ccc.tpl though there's no hard set rule. In the admin, most pages follow this, with the exception that pages listing items, like the product listing page, are in catalog/product_list.tpl and the product editing form is in catalog/product_form.tpl. Again, these aren't set, but a standard for the default cart. The template file is in fact just another php file, but with a .tpl extension and is actually run in the controller file, therefore all of the things you can code in a controller can be run in a template file (though not recommended unless absolutely necessary) Understanding the database object Queries are run using $result = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM `" . DB_PREFIX . "table`"); DB_PREFIX as the name suggests is a constant containing the database prefix if one exists $result will return an object for SELECT queries, containing a few properties $result->row contains the first row's data if one or more are returned as an associative array $result->rows contains an array of row results, ideal for looping over using foreach $result->num_rows contains the number of results returned There are also a few extra methods the $this->db object has $this->db->escape() uses mysql_real_escape_string() on the value passed $this->db->countAffected returns the number of rows affected by an UPDATE query and so on $this->db->getLastId() returns the last auto increment id using mysql_insert_id() Understanding reserved variables OpenCart has predefined variables to use in place of the standard $_GET, $_POST, $_SESSION, $_COOKIE, $_FILES, $_REQUEST AND $_SERVER $_SESSION is edited using $this->session->data where data is an associative array mimicking the $_SESSION All of the others can be accessed using $this->request and have been "cleaned" to comply with magic quotes enabled/disabled, so $_GET becomes $this->request->get $_POST becomes $this->request->post $_COOKIE becomes $this->request->cookie $_FILES becomes $this->request->files $_REQUEST becomes $this->request->request $_SERVER becomes $this->request->server Summary While the above isn't a bulletproof guide for developers, hopefully it will serve as a good starting point for those getting started A: Global Library Methods : Basic opencart library functions along with their functionalities, Most of these can be called from anywhere in the catalog or admin folders (controllers, models, views) CACHE $this->cache->delete($key) - Deletes cache [product, category, country, zone, language, currency, manufacturer] CART $this->cart->getProducts() Gets all products currently in the cart including options, discounted prices, etc. $this->cart->add( $product_id, $qty = 1, $options = array()) - Allows you to add a product to the cart $this->cart->remove( $key ) - Allows you to remove a product from the cart $this->cart->clear() - Allows you to remove all products from the cart $this->cart->getWeight() - Sum of the weight of all products in the cart that have require shipping set to Yes $this->cart->getSubTotal() - returns the subtotal of all products added together before tax $this->cart->getTotal() - returns the total of all products added together after tax $this->cart->countProducts() - returns the count of all product in the cart $this->cart->hasProducts() - returns true if there is at least one item in the cart $this->cart->hasStock() - returns false if there is at least one item in the cart that is out of stock $this->cart->hasShipping() - returns true if there is at least one item in the cart that requires shipping $this->cart->hasDownload() - returns true if there is at least one item in the cart that has a download associated CONFIG $this->config->get($key) - returns setting value by keyname based on application (catalog or admin) $this->config->set($key, $value) - set the value to override the setting value.

Tag Archives: Repression Proper I have frequently referred to the concepts ofDISSOCIATIONand REPRESSION on this site as, of course, both are highly relevant to the subject of childhood trauma. But what is the difference between the two? REPRESSION : In terms of psychoanalytic theory (of which Sigmund Freud is considered to be the ‘father’) REPRESSION can be divided into two types : PRIMAL REPRESSION REPRESSION PROPER I briefly explain these two types of repression below : REPRESSION PROPER : This refers to an unconscious process whereby the part of the mind that Freud referred to as the ego prevents distressing and threatening thoughts from ever permeating consciousness. Freud believed that often such thoughts were kept banished from conscious awareness as otherwise they would produce intolerable guilt (generated by the part of the mind that he referred to as the superego). Examples of types of thoughts that Freud believed are kept repressed by this process are those concerning certain types of sexual and aggressive impulses and instincts (generated by the part of the mind Freud referred to as the id) that we have learned from our environment (influence of culture, parents etc) are unacceptable. PRIMAL REPRESSION : The term primal repression refers to an unconscious process whereby the ego buries distressing and threatening thoughts, feelings and memories down below the level of consciousness into the id. So, to summarize : in the case of repression proper, distressing and threatening thoughts are prevented from evergaining access to conscious awareness whereas, in the case of primal repression, distressing and threatening thoughts, feelings and memories which have gained ephemeral access to consciousness are banished from it (buried in the id). However, Freud also pointed out that there is a high price to pay for the unconscious process of repression in so far as this hidden, buried information that has been forced down into the id will create symptoms of anxiety. DISSOCIATION : In the case of dissociation (one of the core features of complex PTSD), thoughts / feelings / memories do NOT get pushed down into / buried in the id ; instead, they become separated / compartmentalized in a different part of the ego. So, we can finally summarize in this way : In the case of repression, mental information / content is split off into the id. In the case of dissociation, mental information / content is split off into a separate part of the ego. NB : This distinction relates to how the terms are used in psychoanalytic theory ; in other areas of psychology, the term ‘dissociation’ can take on other meanings (as the articles listed below will show). To learn more about dissociation, you may like to read some of my other articles (listed below) :	{ "pile_set_name": "Pile-CC" }

I recently bought one of these great little 4-bay NAS boxes from Scan for £459 delivered. Then spotted this deal a few days later - doh! It is the same price as Scan's, but you get two free 500Gb Hitachi SATA drives with the device which are worth about £42 each inc VAT. So for £465ish delivered, you'll have 500Gb worth of protected storage, and the beauty of the ReadyNAS is you can add more drives as you go along to give yourself more space.

Leaving my server on 24/7 makes me wince when I think about power consumption. Netgear's website says: The ReadyNAS NV+ takes it a step further. For instance, in an idle state, the NV+ with one disk consumes 31W and with four disks consumes 54W of power, less than your typical incandescent light bulb. It’ll take a few more watts when there is disk activity. In disk spin-down mode, the NV+ consumes only 29W. Furthermore, if you use the automatic power-on scheduler, you’ll save even more. For instance, if you plan on accessing the ReadyNAS only during an 8-hour window each day, your average usage of the box can be as low as a third of the 29W, or around 10W.

AG : affected group BAER : brainstem auditory evoked responses CG : control group CNS : central nervous system dBNHL : decibel normal hearing level HIE : hypoxic/ischemic encephalopathy Hz : stimulus frequency IPL : interpeak latencies Brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAER) evaluate the electrophysiologic activity of the auditory pathway in response to externally applied acoustic stimulation. This noninvasive, highly repeatable technique provides objective measurements of the function and integrity of the auditory system.[1](#jvim12499-bib-0001){ref-type="ref"} In healthy subjects, it consists of up to 7 waves labeled with Roman numerals recorded during the first 10 ms after acoustic stimulation.[2](#jvim12499-bib-0002){ref-type="ref"}, [3](#jvim12499-bib-0003){ref-type="ref"}, [4](#jvim12499-bib-0004){ref-type="ref"} Waves represent summated neuronal activity at different sites in the brainstem. Wave I is generated by the cochlear nerve, wave II originates from the cochlear nucleus, waves III and IV are generated in the olivary nucleus and the lateral lemniscus, respectively, and wave V in the midbrain (caudal colliculus).[5](#jvim12499-bib-0005){ref-type="ref"}, [6](#jvim12499-bib-0006){ref-type="ref"} Physiologic factors such as age[7](#jvim12499-bib-0007){ref-type="ref"} and head size[5](#jvim12499-bib-0005){ref-type="ref"} affect BAER. Stimulus frequency (clicks/s or Hz) also have clinically relevant effects on tracing.[1](#jvim12499-bib-0001){ref-type="ref"} In human infants and premature babies, higher frequencies improve the detection of brainstem abnormalities from hypoxic/ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).[8](#jvim12499-bib-0008){ref-type="ref"}, [9](#jvim12499-bib-0009){ref-type="ref"} In human neonatal intensive care units, BAER testing became a necessary tool in the diagnosis, prognosis, and follow‐up of central nervous system (CNS) disorders to evaluate the integrity of the brainstem in various conditions.[10](#jvim12499-bib-0010){ref-type="ref"} In veterinary medicine, it is currently the method of choice to evaluate auditory function, but, its use in diagnosing central neurologic dysfunction in horses, especially neonates, remains infrequent.[4](#jvim12499-bib-0004){ref-type="ref"}, [11](#jvim12499-bib-0011){ref-type="ref"}, [12](#jvim12499-bib-0012){ref-type="ref"} Neurologic disorders of foals in the neonatal period represent a diagnostic challenge. They include HIE, bacterial meningitis, trauma, and other acquired or inherited disorders,[13](#jvim12499-bib-0013){ref-type="ref"} which often may involve the brainstem. If BAER testing proves to be as useful in foals as in human infants, it will allow more accurate diagnosis and prognosis of neurologic disorders and monitoring of treatment efficacy in this species. Before it can be used in the evaluation of neurologic disorders of foals, the influence of age and head size should be evaluated for different protocols in the reference population. The aim of our study was to provide reference values for BAER in foals \<6 months of age and to evaluate the effects of age on tracing by using 3 stimulation protocols. We also wanted to determine if increasing the frequency of acoustic stimulation improved detection of conduction abnormalities in foals with neurologic disorders. Materials and Methods {#jvim12499-sec-0008} ===================== Study Animals {#jvim12499-sec-0009} ------------- For this prospective study, BAER were performed on foals \<6 months old hospitalized at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vétérinaire, Saint‐Hyacinthe, Canada, from April 2008 to April 2010. Client‐owned foals were included after owners' consent. This study was approved by the Animal Care Committee. Before BAER testing, physical and neurologic examinations were performed. To evaluate mental status, foals were observed in their stalls for 30 minutes before manipulating them. Evaluation of mental status in standing foals included affinity for the mare, interaction with the mare and environment, number of times and capacity to nurse, number of attempts to find the udder, response to loud noise, observation of abnormal posture ("star‐gazing", head pressing), seizures or some combination of these findings. In recumbent foals, the number of spontaneous movements, number of attempts to stand, responses to external (eg, opening stall door) and physical stimuli as well as interactions with caregivers were recorded. The mental status score used is presented in Table [1](#jvim12499-tbl-0001){ref-type="table-wrap"}. Based on the neurologic examination, foals were divided into a control group (CG) and an affected group (AG) (neurologic deficits). Control foals were used to establish the reference values and were separated into 4 subgroups according to age. Control group 1 included foals 0--7 days old; CG2, foals \>1 week to 1 month old; CG3, foals \>1--3 months old; CG4, foals \>3--6 months old. ###### Mental status score for foals --------- ---------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Score 0 Normal mental status Standing. Alert. Nurses properly. Normal interaction with the dam and environment Score 1 Mild obtundation Standing. Calm. Reduced affinity for the dam. Do not find udder. Decreased interaction with environment. Restlessness Score 2 Severe obtundation Standing. Obtundation. Few or no interaction with the dam or environment. Compulsive walking. Head pressing Score 3 Stupor Recumbent. No spontaneous interaction with environment. Inappropriate reactions when stimulated Score 4 Coma Recumbent. No reaction with environment. No reaction when stimulated --------- ---------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Wiley & Sons, Ltd Recording of BAER {#jvim12499-sec-0010} ----------------- Recordings were performed with an electromyogram/evoked potential system.[1](#jvim12499-note-0001){ref-type="fn"} Depending on their size and cooperation, foals were restrained either in lateral recumbency or standing. Sedation (xylazine hydrochloride[2](#jvim12499-note-0002){ref-type="fn"} 0.2 mg/kg, IV) was administered when needed, with the owner\'s consent. An alternating (rarefaction and condensation) click stimulation was delivered via internal earplugs[3](#jvim12499-note-0003){ref-type="fn"} with disposable ear tips[4](#jvim12499-note-0004){ref-type="fn"} introduced into the external auditory meatuses and secured in place with gauze. Three different stimulation protocols were used. Protocols 1 and 2 used a stimulus frequency of 11.33 Hz at intensity level of 70 decibel normal hearing level (dBNHL), and a stimulus frequency of 11.33 Hz at 90 dBNHL, respectively.[3](#jvim12499-bib-0003){ref-type="ref"}, [5](#jvim12499-bib-0005){ref-type="ref"} Protocol 3 used a stimulus frequency of 90 Hz at 70 dBNHL.[14](#jvim12499-bib-0014){ref-type="ref"} Ipsilateral stimulations were recorded for both ears. A masking noise (30 dBNHL below stimulation intensity) was applied to the controlateral ear. To assess repeatability, traces were always recorded twice. Disposable subdermal stainless steel needle electrodes[5](#jvim12499-note-0005){ref-type="fn"} were used to acquire data. The reference electrode (positive) was placed at the vertex, over the parietal suture, rostral to the site where the temporalis muscles diverge. The recording electrode was placed over the zygomatic process of the stimulated ear (ipsilateral). The ground electrode was placed over the zygomatic process of the contralateral ear and this site provided an upward inflection of the waves. Amplifier sensitivity was set at 1 μv/division, sweep speed at 1 ms/division with a bandpass filter of 100 Hz/3 KHz with automatic artifact rejection. Each trace represented the average of a minimum of 500 responses over the first 10 ms after acoustic stimulation. Data were analyzed by a computer‐based program.[6](#jvim12499-note-0006){ref-type="fn"} Waves I through V were identified using manually directed cursors. Absolute latencies for peaks I, III, and V as well as I--III, III--V, and I--V interpeak latencies (IPL) were calculated for each tracing. Data Analysis {#jvim12499-sec-0011} ------------- A repeated measures multivariate linear model, with ear and stimulation protocol as within‐subject factors and sex and age as cofactors, was used to evaluate the effects of the 3 protocols on waves I, III, and V latencies, and I--III, III--V, and I--V IPL in normal foals. The same model, with ear and stimulation protocol as within‐subject factors and mental status as between‐subject factor, was used to compare the effects of the 3 protocols on waves I, III, and V latencies, and I--III, III--V, and I--V IPL between normal and foals with neurologic disorders. Tukey\'s posthoc tests were used to compare pairs of means.[7](#jvim12499-note-0007){ref-type="fn"} Significance level was set as P \< .05. Reference values were obtained using 3 standard deviations, representing 99.7% of the population. Results {#jvim12499-sec-0012} ======= Study Animals {#jvim12499-sec-0013} ------------- Thirty‐nine neurologically normal foals were included in the CG, 26/39 males (67%) and 13/39 females (33%). Breeds included Warmbloods (13/39), Quarter/Paint Horses (9/39), Standardbreds (7/39), Thoroughbreds (6/39), and others (4/39). Reasons for hospitalization included: healthy foals accompanying their dam (10/39), musculoskeletal problems (13/39; myopathies, fractures, angular limb deviations, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis), urinary problems (6/39; omphalophlebitis, patent urachus, umbilical hernia), digestive problems (3/39; colic, meconium impaction, diarrhea), and other nonneurologic complaints (7/39; pneumonia, anemia, neonatal isoerythrolysis, eye problems, failure of passive transfer of immunity). Age of foals at time of testing ranged from 2 to 139 days (mean, 37.2 days; median, 21 days). Control group 1 included 9/39 foals, 17/39 in CG2, 7/39 in CG3, and 6/39 in CG4. Brainstem auditory evoked response tracing obtained from 1 normal foal are shown in Figure [1](#jvim12499-fig-0001){ref-type="fig"}. ![Brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAER) tracing obtained from the left and right ears of a healthy foal by using 3 protocols. All waves are not identifiable in all tracing. Wave V is partially fused with wave IV on 11.33 Hz/70 dBNHL tracing and on the left 11.33 Hz/90 dBNHL tracing. Wave II is undetectable on 11.33 Hz/90 dBNHL tracing.](JVIM-29-362-g001){#jvim12499-fig-0001} Sixteen neurologically abnormal foals were included in the AG, 12/16 (75%) males and 4/16 (25%) females. Fourteen were \<1 week old, 1/16 was 1 month old, and 1/16 was 5 months old. Breeds included Quarter/Paint Horses (3/16), Warmbloods (3/16), Standardbreds (2/16), Thoroughbreds (2/16), Clydesdales (2/16), and others (4/16). Reasons for presentation included hypoxic‐ischemic encephalopathy (4/16), failure of passive transfer of immunity (1/16), meconium impaction (2/16), bladder rupture (2/16), diarrhea (2/16), isoerythrolysis (1/16), nutritional myopathy (1/16), septicemia (1/16), orphan foal (1/16), and musculoskeletal diseases (2/16). All AG foals had abnormal mental status. Twelve suffered from mild to severe obtundation (score 1--2), 3 were in a stuporous state (score 3), and 1 was comatose (score 4). One presented with seizures. Most had no menace response but this finding was attributed to their young age (\<1 week old). Two foals had head tilts that were not associated with deafness, but 1 had concurrent unilateral facial paralysis. Unilateral or bilateral deafness (isoelectric line recorded in response to the highest intensity level of stimulation; 90 dBNHL) was found in 7.1% (4/55) of all foals tested (CG and AG). None of the 55 foals tested showed clinical signs of deafness. The foal with bilateral deafness was excluded from analysis because no tracing could be obtained. The other 3 were used in the control group based on clinical and neurologic examination findings. None of them were Paint Horses. BAER Testing {#jvim12499-sec-0014} ------------ Brainstem auditory evoked response tracing were easily obtained without sedation in most foals (49/55). Forty‐three foals (78.1%) had a complete set of tracing for the 3 protocols. All tracing were not available for both ears in all foals because of either lack of cooperation of nonsedated foals (4/55), deafness (4/55), or low amplitude of the tracing (impossible to place cursors reliably in 5 of the 90 Hz/70 dBNHL traces). A total of 107/110 tracing (right and left ears) were available for protocol 1, 102/110 tracing for protocol 2, and 98/110 tracing for protocol 3. Reference Values and Effect of Age on BAER Tracing {#jvim12499-sec-0015} -------------------------------------------------- There were no significant differences between mean latencies and interpeak latencies (IPL) for sex, age, or ear tested (all P \> .05) in CG, therefore, measures were pooled to calculate reference values. The ear was used as statistical unit. A significant difference between mean latencies and IPL was found among the stimulation protocols. Latencies decreased with increasing level of stimulus intensity with peaks I, III, and V of 90 dBNHL tracing appearing significantly earlier than for 70 dBNHL tracing (all P \< .0001). Latencies increased with increasing stimulation rates with peaks I, III, and V appearing significantly later for 90 Hz tracing than for 11.33 Hz tracing (all P \< .0001). Interpeak latencies followed the same pattern (all P \< .0016). Latencies and IPL for each protocol are presented in Table [2](#jvim12499-tbl-0002){ref-type="table-wrap"}. Reference values (mean ± 3 SD) are listed in Table [3](#jvim12499-tbl-0003){ref-type="table-wrap"}. ###### Wave I, III, and V latencies (mean ± SD) and I--III, III--V, and I--V interpeak latencies (IPL, mean ± SD) at different stimulation frequencies and intensities in normal foals \<6 months old Stimulus (frequency/intensity) ----------------- -------------------------------- ----------------- ----------------- Wave I (ms) 1.15 (±0.08)^a^ 1.04 (±0.59)^b^ 1.21 (±0.08)^c^ Wave III (ms) 2.37 (±0.1)^a^ 2.25 (±0.15)^b^ 2.49 (±0.12)^c^ Wave V (ms) 4.06 (±0.19)^a^ 3.97 (±0.24)^b^ 4.28 (±0.23)^c^ I--III IPL (ms) 1.22 (±0.09)^d^ 1.21 (±0.14)^e^ 1.29 (±0.11)^f^ III--V IPL (ms) 1.70 (±0.20)^d^ 1.69 (±0.25)^e^ 1.79 (±0.22)^f^ I--V IPL (ms) 2.91 (±0.20)^d^ 2.93 (±0.25)^e^ 3.07 (±0.24)^f^ Different letters represent statistical differences among different protocols (a, b, c, d and f: P \< .0001; e: P = .0016). n = number of ears.

No significant differences were found between the 2 groups even at higher frequencies (90 Hz). When left and right tracing were available (CG: 30/39; AG: 14/16), both ears were compared for symmetry of the traces. As opposed to normal foals, a statistically significant effect was seen between ears in the AG foals for latencies of wave V (P = .01) and I--III, III--V, and I--V IPL (P = .04, .04, and .005, respectively) for all protocols. Eleven AG foals (78.6%) had increased latencies and IPL of \>0.2 ms in 1 ear compare to the other. This threshold was used because it is currently the maximal accepted difference to validate the repeatability of the test.[1](#jvim12499-bib-0001){ref-type="ref"} Wave V latencies and III--V and I--V IPL were the most frequently affected measurements. Discussion {#jvim12499-sec-0017} ========== We provide reference values of BAER in foals from birth to 6 months of age by using 3 stimulation protocols. The only other references available were based on a limited number of foals \<1 week old and used only low stimulation frequencies.[11](#jvim12499-bib-0011){ref-type="ref"}, [12](#jvim12499-bib-0012){ref-type="ref"} Our report represents the first time that the effects of higher stimulation frequencies have been described in normal and neurologically affected foals. Brainstem auditory evoked response testing is not affected by the state of arousal or therapeutic dosages of most CNS depressants.[15](#jvim12499-bib-0015){ref-type="ref"} Age is reported to alter latencies and IPL in humans and small animals,[9](#jvim12499-bib-0009){ref-type="ref"}, [16](#jvim12499-bib-0016){ref-type="ref"}, [17](#jvim12499-bib-0017){ref-type="ref"} reflecting maturational changes in the CNS. We could not show a significant effect of age with any of the protocols used, and tracing obtained were similar to those of adult horses. This finding differs from what is observed in humans and small animals,[4](#jvim12499-bib-0004){ref-type="ref"}, [10](#jvim12499-bib-0010){ref-type="ref"} but correlates with histopathology of the brain and spinal cord showing that gyral development and myelin maturation are more advanced at birth in foals than in other species.[18](#jvim12499-bib-0018){ref-type="ref"}, [19](#jvim12499-bib-0019){ref-type="ref"} Head size is another factor that might influence latencies.[4](#jvim12499-bib-0004){ref-type="ref"}, [5](#jvim12499-bib-0005){ref-type="ref"}, [20](#jvim12499-bib-0020){ref-type="ref"} When comparing adult Thoroughbreds and ponies, head size was found to correlate with BAER latencies.[5](#jvim12499-bib-0005){ref-type="ref"} Another study demonstrated that larger horses had faster conduction times (shorter I--V IPL).[15](#jvim12499-bib-0015){ref-type="ref"} Controversial results also have been published in humans and dogs.[1](#jvim12499-bib-0001){ref-type="ref"}, [4](#jvim12499-bib-0004){ref-type="ref"} To assess differences in head size within our population of foals, we divided them into 4 subgroups but could not detect any significant difference among them. This finding is similar to what was reported by Munro et al[21](#jvim12499-bib-0021){ref-type="ref"} when they compared 2 breeds of dogs (Dalmatians and Jack Russell Terriers). A significant difference in latencies and I--V IPL was found among breeds, but not within a given breed despite the considerable scatter in head sizes within each group. They concluded that although the larger breed of dogs had increased latencies, there was no specific correlation with head size.[21](#jvim12499-bib-0021){ref-type="ref"} In horses, differences observed between ponies and Thoroughbreds[5](#jvim12499-bib-0005){ref-type="ref"} also might have been because of breed rather than size differences. We did not measure head sizes, but the lack of differences observed among subgroups suggests that this parameter does not contribute to variations in BAER tracing in foals. Ponies were not included in our study, but it would be interesting to see if the observations made by Mayhew and Washbourne apply to younger animals. Differences in breeds eventually could be evaluated in horses too, but we did not have enough foals to evaluate this parameter. Brainstem auditory evoked response testing was well tolerated and easily obtained from most foals without sedation showing that this noninvasive, repeatable, quantitative method can be used in foals \<6 months of age. Data presented here could be compared with responses recorded from clinical patients to assess the integrity of their auditory pathways. However, variations among laboratories can be observed because of technical differences. Keeping that in mind, when comparing our reference values with data from Mayhew and Washbourne,[5](#jvim12499-bib-0005){ref-type="ref"} I--V and III--V IPL are longer in foals than in adults. This could represent a delay in maturation of the central auditory pathway in foals \<6 months of age. In human infants, a decrease in wave V latencies and III--V IPL is seen with increasing age and represents maturational changes (eg, myelination, axon diameter, synaptic efficacy) in the brainstem auditory pathway.[19](#jvim12499-bib-0019){ref-type="ref"} Neurologic disorders in foals remain a diagnostic challenge. Changes in behavior (eg, decreased affinity for the dam, restlessness, head pressing, compulsive walking) and arousal, with or without cranial nerve abnormalities, are related to alterations of the cerebrum or brainstem.[13](#jvim12499-bib-0013){ref-type="ref"} In our study, BAER testing was used to assess integrity and function of the brainstem auditory system in foals with neurologic deficits. No significant differences were detected between affected and control foals. All data acquired from AG foals were within our reference range. However, when for a given foal, tracing from left and right ears were compared to each other, a significant difference in wave V latencies and I--V IPL was observed in 78.6% (11/14) of the neurologically abnormal foals and not in normal foals. This finding demonstrates a difference in brainstem conduction time between the 2 sides of the auditory pathway and thus reflects suboptimal function of the central auditory pathway in these foals. In most of the AG foals, the only abnormality of the neurologic examination was an altered mental status. Altered mental status is nonspecific for neurologic diseases and can be triggered by other causes such as metabolic derangements including hypoglycemia, electrolyte, and acid‐base disturbances or even sepsis.[18](#jvim12499-bib-0018){ref-type="ref"} We intended to compare foals with abnormal mental status and concurrent debilitating diseases with foals with altered mental status related only to CNS diseases. Unfortunately, only 4 foals with HIE met these criteria, preventing statistical analysis between these 2 subgroups. In human medicine, considerable improvements have been made in the diagnosis of neonatal neurologic diseases using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).[22](#jvim12499-bib-0022){ref-type="ref"} We intended to compare BAER results with MRI images, but only 2 owners gave consent to perform this test. In 1 foal, focal hyperintense areas on T2‐weighted images of the latero‐caudal cortex of right and left parietal lobes were noticed. No lesions were observed in the brainstem. The foal was euthanized because of unrelated problems. Gross necropsy findings included multifocal discoloration of the parietal cortex at the junction of the gray and white matter. Microscopically, numerous foci of slight variability in the thickness of the cortical gray matter were observed, associated with scattered single neurons within the white matter (neuronal heterotopia). The other foal was part of the CG and MRI was unremarkable. Increasing stimulation frequencies improves detection of BAER abnormalities in human infants with neurologic deficits[8](#jvim12499-bib-0008){ref-type="ref"} but not in experimental cats.[23](#jvim12499-bib-0023){ref-type="ref"} In horses, the effects are unknown. In humans and cats, higher repetition rates trigger decreased amplitudes and increased latencies. In our foals, the waves followed the same pattern, but it did not improve detection of CNS abnormalities and lessened the resolution of the waveforms preventing analysis of a few tracing, impeding reliable positioning of the cursors. The rate of 90 Hz represented the maximum rate possible with our equipment. The stimulation may have been too slow to trigger an abnormal response. In 1 study, significant differences in IPL were demonstrated only at much higher rates (455 and 910 Hz).[24](#jvim12499-bib-0024){ref-type="ref"} As in other species, BAER testing has been used in horses to evaluate auditory function.[12](#jvim12499-bib-0012){ref-type="ref"}, [25](#jvim12499-bib-0025){ref-type="ref"} The prevalence of deafness in the equine population is unknown and would require systematic screening as performed in humans and dogs.[26](#jvim12499-bib-0026){ref-type="ref"}, [27](#jvim12499-bib-0027){ref-type="ref"} Recently, auditory dysfunction was associated with specific pigmentation patterns in Overo Paint Horses.[12](#jvim12499-bib-0012){ref-type="ref"} We report a prevalence of 7.1% of deaf foals in our study population. Unilateral deafness was identified in 3 foals and bilateral deafness in 1. None showed clinical signs of deafness. Two were Clydesdales from the same sire such that a genetic factor cannot be ruled out. The others were bay foals of unrelated origins (Warmblood and Standardbred). Obstruction of the external ear canal and pathology of the middle ear (otitis media) were associated with diagnosis of deafness in other species.[1](#jvim12499-bib-0001){ref-type="ref"}, [28](#jvim12499-bib-0028){ref-type="ref"} In human infants tested early in life, isoelectric tracing can be recorded in normal hearing subjects because of vernix caseosa accumulation in ear canal or amniotic fluid in the middle ear.[29](#jvim12499-bib-0029){ref-type="ref"} Gross observation of the external ear canal did not identify any abnormalities and none of the foals had clinical signs compatible with middle ear disease. Radiographs or MRI were not performed and thus conduction disorders cannot be completely ruled out. All deaf foals were tested at least twice during their hospitalization and tracing remained abnormal. In conclusion, BAER testing is a reliable and easily performed technique that can be useful in the diagnosis of neurologic disorders in foals. The age did not affect BAER results in foals up to 6 months of age. However, when values for foals and adult horses were compared, mild conduction delay in the most central portion of the brainstem was detected in foals. This could be attributed to differences in CNS maturity. Changes in head size associated with age do not seem to influence BAER tracing in foals. The prevalence of deafness among the study population was higher than expected. There was no benefit in using a higher repetition rate of acoustic stimulation. It lengthened the duration of examination and made tracing more difficult to read. Nonetheless, other studies are needed before concluding that higher repetition rates are not useful in foals. A most interesting finding is that the majority of foals with neurologic deficits had asymmetry in their BAER tracing, reflecting a difference in conduction time between left and right sides of the brainstem. This indicates that BAER might be useful in the diagnosis of neurologic disorders in foals \<6 months of age.

1964 World Sportscar Championship The 1964 World Sportscar Championship season was the 12th season of FIA 'World Sportscar Championship' motor racing. It featured the 1964 International Championship for GT Manufacturers which was open to Group 3 GT cars and was contested from 16 February 1964 to 11 October 1964 over a twenty race series. Titles were awarded in three engine capacity divisions: Division I – Under 1300cc Division II – Under 2000cc Division III – Over 2000cc The season also included the 1964 International Prototype Trophy which was open to Prototype cars and was contested over four of the twenty championship races. Titles were awarded to those that were: Outright Under 3000cc Schedule The twenty championship races each counted towards one or more of the five FIA Titles, as shown below. A points coefficient multiplication factor was applied for each race to the determine the number of championship points to be awarded. Points system International Championship for GT Manufacturers Points were awarded to the top six positions in each division in each race on a 9-6-4-3-2-1 basis with the relevant points coefficient applied (see Schedule above). Points were awarded only for the position gained by the best placed car from each manufacturer in each division at each race. Only the best six race results plus one hillclimb result were retained towards the final classification. Manufacturers had to enter at least six races and one hillclimb to be eligible for championship classification. International Prototypes Trophy Points were awarded to the top six positions outright and in the Under 3000cc division in each race on a 9-6-4-3-2-1 basis with the relevant points coefficient applied (see Schedule above). Points were awarded only for the position gained by the best placed car from each manufacturer at each race. All points were retained towards the final classification. Manufacturers had to enter all four Trophy races to be eligible for championship classification. Results International Championship for GT Manufacturers Division I (1300 cc) Division II (2000 cc) Division III (+2000 cc) Note: Some manufacturers (other than the three Division winners) may have been ineligible for championship classification under the minimum race participation regulation. International Prototypes Trophy Note: Ferrari scored 46.8 points but was deemed ineligible for classification as it had not contested the Prototype category at all four races. Iso, MG & Chevrolet also scored points but were ineligible for classification for the same reason. - 3000 cc Note: MG, Rene Bonnet, Triumph, Diva, Martini & Volvo all scored points but were deemed ineligible for classification as they had not contested the Prototype category at all four races.

Q: In Login page of web application, I have allowed drag and drop of any text. Is it vulnerable to XSS attack? Will I need to add any attribute to restrict drag and drop of any file? A: An XSS attack is performed by injecting malicious code to be displayed to another user. To use a standard login form for an XSS attack, you would need the malicious code to be in the username - the only thing likely to be shown to other users. But how the username-with-malicious payload got in there isn't relevant, so it is not inherent to the fact that you use drag-and-drop. Allowing a username that consists of a large amount of text (for example, the contents of a file) would make it easier to perform this type of XSS attack in a username. So you'll want to check the username against it. That being said, usernames are often limited in the length they're allowed to have. This makes them unlikely attack vectors. If you're running some kind of forum, users signature lines and forum posts are more likely places to contain an XSS attack.	{ "pile_set_name": "StackExchange" }

great news! Keep up the good work. Stephen D Burns To: Steven J Kean/NA/Enron@Enron, Richard Shapiro/HOU/EES@EES, James D Steffes/HOU/EES@EES cc: Joe Hillings/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Scott Bolton/Enron Communications@Enron Communications, Donald Lassere/Enron Communications@Enron Communications, Sue Nord/NA/Enron@Enron, Cynthia Sandherr/Corp/Enron@ENRON, Chris Long/Corp/Enron@ENRON Subject: Fiber Optic Public Lands Right-of-Way Status The fat lady hasn't quite sung yet, but I thought it would be a good idea to give you a readout on the current status of the BLM/USFS fiber optic right-of-way issue. In a nutshell, our strategy seems to have worked and we've won all the concessions we sought. As you'll recall these were: a) to get the BLM to withdraw any "interim" policies, the first of which split fiber cables into 144 different ROW certifications, and a later version that re-packaged the issue, mandating that ROW certificates be issued each time a fiber owner subleases or sells capacity on its line, with a retroactivity clause that added extra sting; b) to get the Forest Service to retract its May 2nd memorandum which changed its fiber optic ROW policy from published fee schedules to individual "comparable" assessments (the first such assessment, which compared ROW fees in urban centers in downtown Portland and Seattle to Oregon forest lands, increased the cost of a segment of our FTV fiber build 150 fold); c) to block both agencies from implementing any proposed or final rule in FY 2001; and d) to create an open rule making process that involves all interested stakeholders, including Enron. Thanks to the considerable pressure we orchestrated from Congress and the Administration, BLM Director Fry and USFS Chief Dombeck have backed away from points a and b above, and have agreed to points c and d. The language we inserted in the Interior Appropriations Bill, which has been agreed to by the Conferees, forces both agencies to revert back to the published fee schedules, prevents them from implementing any new policies in FY 2001, and forces them to work with industry and to come up with a common policy for future rent determination. The reference in the opening sentence to gravitationally-challenged women is because the issue still hasn't quite closed. The Interior Appropriations Bill may very well be vetoed. But since our issue was settled at the staff level, and is now off the table, we're likely to remain safe from being re-examined and challenged. In fact, any changes would likely only increase the strength of our hand: some members of our coalition are trying to insert even more detailed language in the report that prescribes exactly how the agencies will proceed to determine the new rental fee schedules over the next 18 months. Through outside consultants, we've had a series of constructive discussions with the agencies over the past two weeks that have forged agreements on timing and specific ways forward. Details are forthcoming, but Enron would be involved closely in the process. The agencies were clearly surprised by the clout we wielded, and are now more than willing to negotiate. But the bottom line, again, is that we have stopped both agencies from implementing their costly interim policies or launching a rule making process either now (which they originally intended to do) or in the coming fiscal year. And by engaging key Members of Congress and the White House, and organizing and leading the 20-member Fiber Optic Public Land Right-of-Way Coalition, we've succeeded in branding Enron as a leader in the communications field.

Menu Connect to your Raspberry using Microsoft Remote Desktop In this post, we’ll explain how to remotely connect to your Raspberry from a laptop using Microsoft’s Remote Desktop. The neat thing about this is that we then get a mirrored screen view of the Raspberry’s graphical user interface on our laptop. No need to connect our Raspberry to any TV, keyboard or mouse. You will love it! What do you need to set up Microsoft Remote Desktop your Raspberry remotely? First you need to have the Raspberry connected with an ethernet cable to the router of your home network. I other words, your laptop needs to be on the same network (wifi or ethernet) as the Raspberry. Secondly, your Raspberry needs to be turned on (i.e. plugged in with a power adapter). You need to be able to remotely control your Raspberry through the command line interface on your laptop (SSH). If you need guidance how to set this up, check out this post. In order for your Raspberry and your laptop to communicate through a graphical user interface, we need to install a service on the Raspberry called xrdp. Your Raspberry needs to be connected to the internet. First, do a remote log in to your Raspberry using your command line interface on your laptop (we use Terminal on our Mac). Make sure you see the prompt of the Raspberry in Terminal. Next type ”sudo apt-get install xrdp” and press enter. Type ”Y” and press enter when you get the question to continue. The xrdp service will now be installed. The xrdp is now installed. That’s it on the Raspberry side. Now we are going to install Microsoft’s Remote Desktop app on our Mac which we find on the Mac App Store here. Download and install the app. Open Microsoft Remote Desktop. Click on ”New” and enter a connection name (we choose ”Raspberry Pi”), the IP number of your Raspberry, the user name ”pi” and the password ”raspberry” (assuming you haven’t changed the default user login configuration). You can leave the rest of the fields as they are. Now, close the configuration window (click the red dot in the upper left corner). You should now have a new configured connection as the below screen. Double click on the new connection and the remote connection is established and you should get a screen image mirroring your Raspberry’s user interface. We know, it’s magic! To quit the Remote Desktop session, slide the mouse pointer to the top of your screen so the tool bar of the Microsoft Remote Desktop app appears, click the Microsoft Remote Desktop menu and select quit. With the two ways of remotely control your Raspberry, i.e. the Terminal or Remote Desktop, there is no need to occupy the TV from your girl friend, boy friend, kids, wife or husband anymore. In subsequent posts, we will almost always use any of these two ways to work with our Raspberry.	{ "pile_set_name": "Pile-CC" }
Replacement of infected aortoiliac vascular grafts with bifurcated BioIntegral Surgical No-React® bovine pericardial xenografts. The infection of a vascular prosthesis is potentially fatal, and its effective treatment still remains the greatest challenge for vascular surgeons. We present our initial experience using bovine pericardial vascular prostheses to replace infected aortoiliac vascular grafts. Six consecutive patients with infection of the graft were prospectively included in this study. Infection of the vascular graft was confirmed by clinical symptoms, laboratory tests and the results of computed tomography and positron emission tomography/computed tomography. In all cases, the infected aortoiliac graft was surgically removed and replaced by the bovine-pericardial BioIntegral aortic-bifemoral prosthesis. Technical success was achieved in every case with no in-hospital or 30 days mortality. One patient required revision of distal anastomosis due to recurrent bleeding at day four after surgery. One patient presented with upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding during the postoperative period, which was managed endoscopically. The mean hospital stay was 14 days (range 9-19). The control CT scan performed 2 months after surgery showed significant regression of abscesses and periprosthetic inflammation. Two patients died within 32 months of follow-up: one due to heart attack, the other due to generalized sepsis, which was correlated with the previous infection. Four patients are still in follow-up. The BioIntegral prosthesis is patent in all four cases, with no clinical or ultrasonographic signs of infection. Our brief investigation shows that a bovine pericardial prosthesis may be a valuable option in the treatment of vascular grafts infections.	{ "pile_set_name": "PubMed Abstracts" }
AN AVERAGE of seven hate crimes are committed across Wales every day, new figures have revealed. Since 2005, Welsh police forces have recorded nearly 13,000 incidents which were perceived by the victim to be motivated by prejudice or hate. More than 80% of the alleged offences took place in South Wales with Wales’ largest police force recording 8,177 racially-related incidents and 1,545 offences thought to be triggered by homophobic prejudices. The data, which was released under the Freedom of Information Act, reveals a marked variation between the locations where hate crimes have been committed, with just 98 incidents recorded in the Dyfed-Powys force area compared to 2,165 in North Wales and 10,723 in South Wales. Figures from Gwent Police were yesterday unavailable. Campaigners and anti-hate crime groups last night hailed the rise in reports in the south of the country – some categories of which have risen by as much as 300% – saying they showed an increased awareness of hate crimes. Yet they also called for better training to be given to police who are said to “often ignore” the context behind an offence. The latest figures come a week after the Safer Wales charity raised fears the situation could be significantly worse than it is with just one in 10 disability hate crimes and 25% of homophobic and racist hate crimes thought to be actually reported. “I speak to people on a daily basis who are afraid to even go out of their homes because they’re scared their neighbours might verbally abuse them, or they are scared to use public transport because of the looks they will get from the driver and other passengers. There are even a lot of people who certainly wouldn’t even consider going out for a drink in the night time economy because they’re afraid of the reception they will get from people.” He added: “Hate crime, especially disability hate crime is still vastly underreported. The police, particularly in South Wales, are doing a lot better job than they used to but there are still some officers who just don’t have the right training. “I’ve heard of officers concerned that they will offend someone if they ask whether the crime could be related to a disability and so it doesn’t get properly reported. That’s not good enough and that’s why disability equality training is needed.” Chief Superintendent Alun Thomas of South Wales Police said the force was working hard to tackle the issue of hate crime and that the rise in recorded incidents was reflective of that work. “I see these figures as a positive,” he said. “It may sound perverse, but it shows that the public are increasingly confident in reporting hate crimes whereas in the past they have gone unreported. “We constantly try to encourage an increase in reporting and confidence among our victims that any hate crime, be it from any strand of diversity, will be properly investigated. “Thankfully that work seems to be paying off because we now have a well-informed picture of the situation and this enables us to give a better service.” He added: “There’s no trend in relation to victims that we are aware of and thanks to our forums and the work we do with our partners we have a good idea of what is going on either if it doesn’t get reported. “This work allows us to react to anything even if it is not recognised.”	{ "pile_set_name": "Pile-CC" }
INTRODUCTION {#s0005} ============ Telemedicine is gathering increased attention as a means to provide care in an expedient and cost-effective manner. It has been successfully implemented for pediatric care [@bb0005], stroke care [@bb0010], diabetes management [@bb0015], and intensive care management [@bb0020]. There is also increased interest in implementation for pediatric surgery [@bb0025] in the United States, and internationally it has been implemented with excellent success [@bb0030]. Telemedicine has had limited implementation for general surgery. It has been utilized for postoperative visits [@bb0035] and breast care [@bb0040]. Guidelines have not been created for the use of telemedicine in general surgery [@bb0025]. The only published study utilizing telemedicine for general surgery consultation in a clinic was conducted by Cain et al. [@bb0045]. Their study was completed by the United States Military stationed in Europe. Six centers throughout Europe conducted telemedicine with surgeons at a central location. Commonly encountered general surgery problems such as hernias, lipomas, gallbladder complaints, and evaluation for endoscopy were examined. Authors concluded that this method "was safe and effective in evaluating common general surgical conditions". There are no published studies utilizing telemedicine for general surgery consultation of hospitalized patients. Telemedicine has special interest for the care of patients in rural settings. These patients compromise a significant portion of the population in the United States and across the world. The potential to provide specialist evaluations to these patients often requires extensive travel by patients or providers. Nebraska is a state in the United States with a large rural population, and several recent local and national developments have provided the opportunity for the advancement of telemedicine. Nebraska state legislature recently passes a law which requires insurance providers to refuse to deny coverage for the sole reason that the care was given via telemedicine. Nebraska also has existing telemedicine equipment in place in rural and urban hospitals through a grant for the Nebraska Statewide Telehealth Network (NSTN). Through the NSTN, over 110 sites in the state have virtual instant access to other sites in the NSTN. Several other states have similar telehealth networks. Passage of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 also has produced increased insurance coverage for telehealth for Medicare recipients. Cain and colleagues demonstrated that telemedicine could be completed for general surgery patients, but their study was completed in the setting of the Armed Forces stationed in Europe. There have been no studies to implement telemedicine for general surgery patients in the continental United States. The purpose of our study was to determine if general surgery patients could be effectively evaluated through the use of telemedicine. METHODS {#s0010} ======= This study was conducted at Brodstone Hospital (originating site) in Superior, Nebraska and Mary Lanning Hospital (distant site) in Hastings, Nebraska. These towns are located approximately 60 miles apart and have populations of 1856 and 24,991, respectively. Both are located in rural areas and draw from a substantial population in surrounding communities. This study involved a single surgeon located at the distant site. Our typical practice was to travel to the originating site every 2 weeks to see consults and perform outpatient surgery. Our population for this study consisted of all patients seen at the originating site who were referred by their primary care provider to require surgical evaluation amendable to telemedicine consultation. Referrals were made at the discretion of the provider at the originating site, taking into account the acuteness of the patient, appropriateness of the surgical issue, and patient preference. Patients were given the option of an in-person interview either by travel to the distant site or by waiting until scheduled evaluation at outreach clinic. All patients provided written informed consent for the telemedicine consult. This study was started in March of 2018 and data was reviewed in December of 2018. This population included clinic patients and patients who were admitted to the hospital. Patients were evaluated with the assistance of the NSTN or Omnijoin software. Interviews were conducted using 64 inch live action monitors, with HD video devices mounted at the top of the device. Users were able to remotely move the camera, and remotely zoom the camera as needed. All devices came with a two way speaker and receiver. All communication was conducted using a secure, HIPAA compliant connection. Evaluation consisted of synchronous evaluation between surgeon and patient. The provider was located in his office at the distant site, patients were located either in the specialty clinic or in their hospital rooms at the originating site. Physical exam was completed with the assistance of a physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner at the originating site. Physical exam focused on examination of the heart, lungs, and abdomen, and was reported verbally by the preforming physician as each portion was completed. A nurse was present at all times at the originating site to ensure appropriate function of equipment. All patients underwent physical exam by the surgeon prior to surgery, or at their next clinic visit if surgery was not scheduled. For all patients, the office at the distant site obtained labs and radiology reports for review at the time of the telemedicine consultation. Images were electronically transferred from the originating site to the distant site, and were personally reviewed by the surgeon at the distant site at the time of the telemedicine consultation. Institutional oversight was completed through discussion with all physicians and administration at the originating site, and through discussion with physician leaders and administration at the distant site. These persons functioned as an equivalent of institutional review boards at our rural institutes. These discussions with administrative and physician leaders occurred before any patient interactions through telemedicine. Information tracked included patient gender, age, setting of evaluation (clinic vs. inpatient), reason for consult, days saved before evaluation by standard means, adequacy of telemedicine consult, correlation of physical exam by provider at originating site with in-person exam by surgeon, instances of surgery offered for the patient, days saved to surgery if applicable. For inpatient consults, we tracked if the consult would have happened without a telemedicine consult, decision to transfer patient as a result of consult, and number of serial evaluations that occurred. This is similar to methods employed by Cain et al. Due to the low number of cases, statistical analysis could not be meaningfully employed. RESULTS {#s0015} ======= Nine patients were evaluated from May to December of 2018. Results are listed in [Table 1](#t0005){ref-type="table"}. There were 3 men and 6 women. Patient age range from 30 to 86. Six were located in the clinic, 3 were inpatients. Reasons for consult included gallbladder pain (2), small bowel obstruction (2), umbilical hernia, dysphagia, blood in stool, diarrhea, and weight loss. Days saved before evaluation by standard means were 59 total days for 9 patients, with average saving of 7.4 days. Procedures conducted as a result of this study include laparoscopic cholecystectomy (2), umbilical hernia repair, esophagoscope-gastro-duodenoscopy, and colonoscopy (3). For all patients, the time saved for operation was 14 days. Telemedicine was deemed to be adequate for all referrals. No patients required additional testing as a result of the interview. For patients with surgical issues meeting criteria for this study, 2 elected for in-person evaluation rather than telemedicine evaluation. These were both patients who were not hospitalized, and traveled to the distant site for clinic evaluation. Results for hospitalized patients are listed in [Table 2](#t0010){ref-type="table"}. One of the patients would have been evaluated in person by the surgeon without the use of telemedicine, two would not have been evaluated as they were admitted and discharged in the two weeks that the surgeon was not present at the originating site.

It is also the first study to use telemedicine for general surgery consultation of serial evaluation of hospitalized patients. Our study shows that telemedicine for general surgery patients can adequately determine the need for surgical intervention. None of the patients required transfer, but results would suggest that telemedicine could be an effective tool in stratifying those patients requiring transfer and those which may remain at the originating site. This study confirms the potential for telemedicine to transform the way in which care is provided for general surgery patients in rural areas. This also has potential to expedite evaluations for urban centers in which surgeons cover multiple hospitals, or in which specialist evaluation is required. No patients were evaluated in the emergency department, but such evaluations would certainly be amendable to telemedicine consultation, and could significantly assist with determination for transfer as needed. There are several opportunities for additional application of telemedicine as a direct result of this study. First, this study may be used as a template for a multi-center trial for the use of telemedicine in rural locations. There is simply not a large enough population in a single rural community to produce a study that will definitively address the use of telemedicine for general surgery. However, grouping of this data from multiple rural sites will provide this information. This study will also serve as a template for studies focused on the application of telemedicine at urban sites, for providers who practice at multiple locations. The critical piece of application for these sites is to determine the breadth of general surgery issues in which telemedicine can be utilized for the initial consult of the patient, and to identify the range of general surgery problems to which it can be applied. As part of larger studies, the use of telemedicine for postoperative care and remote monitoring could also be an exciting and meaningful application of this study. Postoperative follow up would be very beneficial, as patients in rural locations often travel long distances for an appointment that is typically short in duration. Remote monitoring could also provide the opportunity for urgent alterations in plans for general surgery patients, and potentially decrease the rate of unneeded interhospital transfers. When preparing to conduct this study, special attention was given to the method by which we would complete the physical exam. It is the opinion of this author that a detailed physical exam by the preforming surgeon is an essential and irreplaceable part of the preoperative evaluation. Indeed, this may be a major contributing factor to the delayed implementation of telemedicine for general surgery patients. However, completion of the history by telemedicine, and completion of the physical exam by a competent telepresenter was felt to be adequate to make the decision regarding the need for surgery in this population. The correlation of physical exam by the telepresenter correlated completely with the in-person exam by the surgeon, on the day of surgery. This is likely because we utilized physicians, physician assistants, and/or nurse practitioners at the originating site for the physical exam. Other studies have used telepresenters consisting of nurses or medical technicians, further study is needed to determine if these team members would be appropriate for this critical aspect of evaluation of general surgery patients. All hospitalized patients were evaluated on the date of request for evaluation. Specialist evaluation and recommendations urgently at critical care hospitals have significant potential to prevent needless transfers, assist the physician at the critical care hospital with initial management, and provide a significant savings in resources. The patients evaluated in this study had a high rate of undergoing procedural intervention (78%). This is similar to the Cain study, in which telemedicine consultation resulted in 88% surgical intervention rate. We agree with Cain\'s conclusion that this was likely due to patients having a more thorough evaluation (imaging, etc.) by the primary care providers prior to consultation, and careful selection of patients deemed appropriate for evaluation by telemedicine. There are several limitations to our study. Due to the low population in this rural location, the number of patients enrolled in this study is small. However, we believe that the results of this study will be easily applicable to other rural populations. It is unclear which patients, and what surgical issues, were not referred for telemedicine consultation by the primary care physicians. While telemedicine has a role to expedite care for the majority of general surgery issues, it may not be adequate for all general surgery issues and further study is required to determine cases that are adequate for telemedicine. In conclusion, telemedicine is effective for the initial evaluation of general surgery patients. It is useful for the initial preoperative evaluation in clinic, and for the initial and serial evaluation of hospitalized patients. All patients should undergo in-person physical exam by the surgeon prior to operation, but determination for surgery can be completed based on the telemedicine consult. Further study is required to determine which general surgery issues are amendable to telemedicine consults and those that require in-person evaluation.

INTRODUCTION {#sec1-1} ============ Over 3 billion people died of alcohol related causes as far back as 1993.\[[@ref1]\] There are an estimated 62 million alcoholics in India.\[[@ref2]\] For psychiatrists, the estimated 40--50% of alcohol-dependent persons who develop alcohol-induced clinical syndromes are of particular importance.\[[@ref3]\] Patients with comorbid psychiatric disorders constitute the majority of alcohol-dependent populations presenting to de-addiction clinics.\[[@ref4]\] Psychiatric comorbidity rates in alcohol-dependent persons range from 100% in psychiatric in-patient settings\[[@ref5]\] to 47% in community samples.\[[@ref9]\] Regardless of whether alcohol use and other psychiatric illness are primary or secondary or independent of each other, they become extensively intertwined over time.\[[@ref6]\] The authors are not aware of Indian studies estimating the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity in alcohol-dependent patients attending general hospital psychiatry units.\[[@ref7][@ref8][@ref9]\] The aim of the present study was to examine comorbidity in association with alcohol dependence, and to analyze the relationship of physical and laboratory findings with psychiatric comorbidity at a tertiary care general hospital psychiatry unit. MATERIALS AND METHODS {#sec1-2} ===================== The study was carried out at the Department of Psychiatry and De-addiction Services at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, Delhi, a tertiary care teaching, free government hospital in 2006--07. The first consenting subject (usually the first asked) fulfilling inclusion criteria was recruited and examined per day. To calculate sample size, the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity in alcohol dependence was taken as 40%\[[@ref10]\] and error in precision was taken to be 30%. Using the formula, 2 √pq/n = prevalence × error/100, n was found to be 66.6. Thus, a minimum n = 67 was obtained. However eighty subjects were finally recruited. Males presenting for the first time, diagnosed as alcohol dependence as per International Classification of Disease-10^th^ Edition (ICD-10) Diagnostic Criteria for Research (World Health Organization, 1993) criteria,\[[@ref11]\] between ages 18 and 60 years, willing to participate, and to provide informed consent were requested for participation. Those with serious physical/neurological conditions or any other brain dysfunction interfering with assessment, with mental retardation or co-existing substance abuse or dependence other than for nicotine were excluded. They were informed of the study by treating physicians, referred to the first author, and recruited after obtaining valid written informed consent. All participants were assessed using a structured clinical interview to obtain full clinical details using the Hindi version of Diagnostic Interview for Genetic Studies (DIGS).\[[@ref12][@ref13]\] The ICD-10 International Personality Disorder Examination (ICD-10 IPDE) for personality disorders (PD),\[[@ref11][@ref14]\] Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT) for alcohol use,\[[@ref15]\] and global assessment of functioning (GAF) (present in DIGS) were applied. The DIGS and available medical records were discussed with at least one board certified; experienced psychiatrist in regular reliability meetings, and diagnosis was established. The first diagnostic category as per IPDE was taken for the sake of simplicity. All PDs were exclusive of each other, as per criteria of the IPDE. Blood sample and electrocardiogram (ECG) were taken within 24 h of the first visit and ultrasonogram within 1 week. Data analysis was conducted using the SPSS version 16.0 (San Francisco, CA). Chi-square test was used for any association between psychiatric comorbidity, ECG, and ultrasonogram changes. Student\'s t-test was used for comparing cases with or without comorbidity on continuous variables (age at presentation, age at onset, age at first intoxication, age at daily drinking, age at dependence as per DIGS, AUDIT score, GAF score, and laboratory investigations). P \<0.05 was accepted as cut-off for significance. RESULTS {#sec1-3} ======= A total of eighty participants (all males) were included with a mean age of 36.7 (standard deviation = 10.5), the large majority were educated (0--8 years: 20%, \>9 years: 80%), married (77.5%), and resided in urban areas (65%), with nearly equal representation from nuclear (48.8%) or joint (47.5%) families. Nearly, one-fifth were unemployed and around 71.3% earned \<Rs. 10,000/month. The lifetime prevalence of complicated alcohol withdrawal state was 11.25% and alcohol-induced psychotic disorder was 11.25%. The mean AUDIT score was 28.41 (8.03) with a wide range of 8--40 \[[Table 1](#T1){ref-type="table"}\]. ###### Prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity ![](IJPsyM-38-414-g001) Overall, 69 participants (86.8%) had a comorbid psychiatric disorder, the most common being nicotine dependence (78.75%). A total of 45 patients (56.25%) had comorbid PD-antisocial (15.0%), paranoid (8.75%), and avoidant (7.5%). The least common were borderline (2.5%) and impulsive (2.5%). Lifetime prevalence among anxiety disorders was panic disorder (17.5%), generalized anxiety disorder (13.75%), phobic disorders (10%), and OCD (3.75%). Affective disorders were present in 28.75% of the participants and schizophrenia in 2.5%. Mean GAF score during past month was 51.24 (15.25) with a range of 20--81 \[[Table 2](#T2){ref-type="table"}\]. There was no significant difference between those with or without comorbidity when age at presentation, age of attaining different alcohol milestones (age at first drink, first intoxication, daily drinking, and dependence), income, AUDIT and GAF scores, and lab markers (hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), fasting and postprandial blood sugar, bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase, blood urea, serum creatinine, serum uric acid, ultrasonogram, and ECG) were compared. Gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) was the only marker (P \< 0.023) that was shown to be significantly associated with psychiatric comorbidity. ###### Clinical variables and psychiatric comorbidity ![](IJPsyM-38-414-g002) DISCUSSION {#sec1-4} ========== The present study found high rates of PDs in a relatively stable Indian sample seeking treatment. Only males were included as few females seek free government treatment for alcohol or drug use. Years of schooling and psychiatric comorbidity were neither correlated as opposed to Ross et al.,\[[@ref3]\] nor was marital status. We did not find significant association between income and psychiatric comorbidity. Others reported lower socioeconomic status in patients with psychiatric comorbidity. One reported higher annual income in those with comorbid depression.\[[@ref16][@ref17][@ref18]\] Psychiatric comorbidity and age at first drink, age at first intoxication, age at daily drinking, and age at dependence were not significantly correlated as opposed to many previous reports.\[[@ref10][@ref16][@ref17][@ref18][@ref19][@ref20][@ref21][@ref22][@ref23][@ref24][@ref25][@ref26]\] Nicotine dependence expectedly topped the list of comorbidity, considering the prevalence, cheap, and easy availability of tobacco products in India.\[[@ref24]\] There were high rates of PDs, similar to studies by DeJong et al.\[[@ref26]\] (78% alcoholic inpatients with at least one Axis II disorder; 28% only one, and 50% more than one PD) and Morgenstern et al (58%).\[[@ref12]\] Lifetime prevalence for anxiety disorders was 45%, comparable to hospital-based studies by Schneider et al.\[[@ref21]\] and Bowen et al.\[[@ref23]\] with lifetime prevalence of anxiety disorders of 42% and 43.8%, respectively.\[[@ref24][@ref33]\] The most common disorder was panic disorder (17.5% vs. 2--16%) in others\[[@ref4][@ref15][@ref27][@ref28][@ref35][@ref36]\] followed by generalized anxiety disorder (13.75%), phobic disorders (10%) similar to Powell et al.,\[[@ref17]\] and obsessive compulsive disorders (3.75% vs. 2--12%) by others.\[[@ref4][@ref10][@ref21][@ref22][@ref25][@ref28]\] Prevalence of lifetime diagnosis of affective disorders was 28.75%, the most common being depressive episode (15%) followed by dysthymia (8.75%), bipolar disorder (2.5%), mania (1.25%) and mania with psychotic symptoms (1.25%). Past hospital-based studies reported lifetime prevalence from 19% to 34%.\[[@ref4][@ref10][@ref29]\] Kisore et al. from Lucknow, India, reported a prevalence of 30%.\[[@ref28]\] The prevalence of schizophrenia was 2.5%, comparable with Hesselbrock et al.,\[[@ref24]\] Nurnberg et al.,\[[@ref29]\] 2%, and Herz et al., 2.7%.\[[@ref20]\] Others reported rates ranging from 0.8% to 8.0%.\[[@ref4][@ref10][@ref21][@ref22][@ref25][@ref28][@ref29][@ref30]\] The prevalence of alcohol-withdrawal seizures and delirium tremens was 7.5% and 3.75%, respectively, as compared to 3--5% and 5%, respectively, from the literature.\[[@ref31][@ref32]\] The mean values of fasting blood sugar, postprandial blood sugar, ALT, AST, GGT, serum uric acid, and MCV were significantly higher, comparable to others.\[[@ref26][@ref34][@ref37][@ref38][@ref39][@ref40]\] A statistically significant association was found between the psychiatric comorbidity and mean GGT value (P = 0.023) only. Significant changes were seen in ultrasonogram and ECG in 53.75% and 20% participants, respectively, but both were not associated with psychiatric comorbidity. There was a significant association between GGT levels and AUDIT scores. However, no significant association between psychiatric comorbidity and AUDIT or GAF scores and between GGT and GAF scores was found. Reasons for this finding are uncertain although sample size may be an issue. This study although a cross-sectional study focused on participants from an outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital catering to Delhi and surrounding areas. It was conducted with sufficient sample size; structured interview schedules supplemented with clinical history were used. The reliability of the assessments was ensured by regular reliability meetings with a senior psychiatrist. As we included male treatment seekers who were likely to be more ill, an inherent selection bias was unavoidable. Many subjects were not motivated and were brought to hospital unwillingly by relatives. Combinations of biomarkers improve the detection of physical comorbidity in alcohol-dependent persons.

Q: Recover the do notation syntax I was reading through Scrap your type classes. This provides an alternatives for type classes. However, I was stuck with a comment by Paul Chiusano which talked about recovering the do notation syntax. Frankly I could not understand how return :: a -> (Monad f -> f a) (>>=) :: (Monad f -> f a) -> (a -> (Monad f -> f b)) -> (Monad f -> f b) would help recover do notation You can implement all the monadic combinators like this, and desugar do notation to them. The do block evaluates to a function that accepts the monad dictionary, so you can even conveniently write code that's polymorphic in the choice of monad, without having to thread the dictionary around manually. And especially, how it would fit int he context of GADT style approach mentioned in the above article? A: {-# LANGUAGE Rank2Types, RebindableSyntax #-} import qualified Prelude import qualified System.IO import Prelude (String, ($), (++)) import System.IO (IO) With Gabriel Gonzales' suggestion data MonadI f = MonadI { _return :: forall a . a -> f a, _bind :: forall a b . f a -> (a -> f b) -> f b } you could implement the necessary functions return and (>>=) as follows, with the types as suggested by Paul Chiusano: return :: a -> (MonadI f -> f a) return x = \dict -> (_return dict) x (>>=) :: (MonadI f -> f a) -> (a -> (MonadI f -> f b)) -> (MonadI f -> f b) ma >>= f = \dict -> (_bind dict) (ma dict) (\x -> f x dict) This is not enough to recover do-notation, because you'll also need (>>) and (sadly) fail. You can implement them as follows: (>>) :: (MonadI f -> f a) -> (MonadI f -> f b) -> (MonadI f -> f b) ma >> mb = ma >>= (\_ -> mb) fail :: String -> MonadI f -> f a fail str = \_ -> Prelude.error str -- Because let's not further entertain that idea. And now we have the required facilities to write simple programs: main :: IO () main = (\m -> m monad'IO) $ do putStrLn "What is your name?" name <- getLine putStrLn $ "Hello, " ++ name Of course, we're going to have to borrow some things from System.IO for that: getLine :: MonadI IO -> IO String getLine = \_ -> System.IO.getLine putStrLn :: String -> (MonadI IO -> IO ()) putStrLn str = \_ -> System.IO.putStrLn str monad'IO :: MonadI IO monad'IO = MonadI { _return = (Prelude.return :: a -> IO a), _bind = ((Prelude.>>=) :: IO a -> (a -> IO b) -> IO b) }	{ "pile_set_name": "StackExchange" }
(1) Field of The Invention The present invention relates to a servo circuit for controlling the positioning of an object under servo control (hereinafter referred to as a "servo object") to a target position by speed control and then position control. (2) Description of the Related Art Wide use is being made of servo positioning circuits for the positioning of magnetic heads on tracks of magnetic disk devices. In such servo positioning circuits, there is a desire for a technique enabling stable positioning even at high speeds. That is, in the speed control of conventional servo circuits, at the stage of acceleration control at the start of the speed control, due to the overly large difference between the real speed and the target speed of the voice coil motor, linear control of the control current flowing through the voice coil motor is not possible and there results a state of voltage control such that closed loop control by the servo circuit cannot be performed for that period. If closed loop control cannot be performed, then the control current for the acceleration control flows uncontrolled. Therefore, the rise of the current is large, resulting in oscillation of the voice coil motor. At the stage of acceleration control, parasitic oscillation easily occurs and further the parastic oscillation cannot be suppressed, so turns into residual oscillation. This has the problem of reducing the seek speed and hindering high speed seek operations. In particular, along with the increasingly higher speeds of seek operations as in recent years, the seek speed has been shortened to a value close to the cycle of the residual oscillation, making the problem of easy occurrence of residual oscillation much worse.	{ "pile_set_name": "USPTO Backgrounds" }

In show business, it’s often better to be lucky than good. “Better Call Saul” writer Gordon Smith has been both. Vince Gilligan’s assistant for the latter half of “Breaking Bad” – a job he got in part because a friend of a friend was on the “BB” writing staff – Smith was promoted to full-time writer when Gilligan, Peter Gould and company moved on to “Saul,” then wound up with the best possible assignment for the prequel’s first season: “Five-O,” the episode that detailed the tragic story of how Mike Ehrmantraut came to leave his job as a Philly cop and move to Albuquerque. It got Smith the show’s lone Emmy nomination for writing for its first season, and could well get Jonathan Banks the acting Emmy he never won on “Breaking Bad.” I spoke with Smith a few minutes ago about the experience of being a first-time nominee, making the adjustment from writers assistant to writer, the origin of Mike’s memorable “I BROKE MY BOY!” exclamation, and a lot more. Were you expecting this? “Five-O” was one of the most celebrated episodes of TV this season, but was a nomination even in your imagination before today? Gordon Smith: Not really. People were saying, “No, no, maybe you will.” I was terrified at the prospect. I’m still a little terrified. It was kind of overwhelming, really. I was not expecting it. My reaction was kind of shock. Pretty much shock. Vince is among the nicest and most magnanimous people in his position in the business, but you did get the show’s only writing nomination. Has there been any tension today at the office, or is everyone just happy for you? Gordon Smith: Honestly, our assistants and our team here has decorated the office. If there’s tension, they’re hiding it from me. We often will say, “It’s a team sport.” Writing for TV is a team sport, so no, I think everyone has a good amount of ownership and pride in all of the episodes. I hope that they all feel that. I haven’t seen anyone coming for me with the knife yet. But you never see it coming. How did you get the job at “Breaking Bad”? Gordon Smith: I was very lucky. My friend from film school Nicole Phillips, who’s writing on “The Blacklist” now, was also friends with (“Breaking Bad” writer) Genni Hutchison, who helped get my name in front of people. I’d gotten out of film school about eight months beforehand, I was out of work. I loved the show, she put me forward, and I was able to bamboozle them into hiring me on. They said, “This guy’s not a horrible person to be around.” I was an office PA starting in season 3, with the idea that I would be filling in in the writers office. I became the writers PA and Vince’s assistant in season 4, and the writers assistant in season 5. During those final years on “Breaking Bad,” did you and Vince talk much, if at all, about the idea of you writing for him? Gordon Smith: Not really. I had been writing various things for the website between season 4 and season 5, and he offered to read anything I had written. I knew that was a first step to him thinking about me as a writer to any show he’d be working on. So I gave him a pilot I had written so he could read it over hiatus. And he liked it. There wasn’t really any space in the final episodes of “Breaking Bad” to get a freelancer, but he kept it in mind. And when did you make the transition to being on the “Saul” staff? Gordon Smith: I was Vince’s assistant literally until the day the (writers) room opened for “Saul.” I kind of knew that the discussions were happening, and then, somewhere where it became a real going concern, Vince and Peter had a conversation, and Peter called me and said, “We’d love to have you on the writing team.” That was a month or so before we opened the room, and I spent that month getting my replacement ready. You’d worked with several of these writers for years as an assistant, and now you were one of them. Did your interactions with them change significantly in the new role? Gordon Smith: Not terribly. I had to get my sea legs in terms of being in the room and contributing. But both Peter and Vince were very gracious about trying very hard to make sure I wasn’t doing assistant things. My instinct was, I knew all the things that were going on, and kept thinking about ways I could help facilitate things, but their instincts – and I appreciated this very much – was, “No, we have other people taking care of that now, and they will take care of that.” So they took that off my plate. It was sink or swim at that point. I couldn’t rely on just being the information hub anymore. And was it difficult figuring out when and how to speak up and pitch ideas in the new role? Gordon Smith: They fostered a really good environment from the beginning. It’s a very open room. Everybody’s welcome to pitch in. I think it was more figuring out how to phrase things so they would land. Everybody has a different style. Sometimes, the way I would phrase things, it wouldn’t be quite right. I think it was a more subtle thing. I would speak up, but I was having trouble exactly getting my ideas across properly at first. As you say, it’s a team sport, and everyone contributes to every script, but “Five-O” was still yours. When did you find out that your episode was going to not only be the big Mike episode, but a much more serious episode than the previous five had been? Gordon Smith: We kept breaking it, and we started generating all these ideas about what Mike’s backstory should be, and when are we going to do it, and how are we going to do it, and should we spread it out over a period of time. We were breaking it as the fifth episode of the season at the time, and we ended up moving it after we’d broken it and had to adjust some things. All of these pieces started coming together, and we said, “If we’re gonna do this, we really want to pull together all these pieces into one episode.” We thought they would be more effective all at once and just plowing through it than going a little slower as we might normally do with storylines. It became obvious as we were breaking it that this would be what my episode would look like. That was a little daunting. I liked the material, but there’s a big onus on it to live up to that, to make sure it’s worthy of Jonathan Banks, and of this character, and the whole place in the mythology. I was just like, “Okay, well, I just hope it’s good enough that it doesn’t embarrass me in my first go.” This was my first chance to show Vince and Peter that they were not totally foolish to hire me. And it worked out well enough that Vince told me he wanted to immediately turn you around and have you write the next available episode. Gordon Smith: (laughs) That was fun. We knew it was supposed to be a co-write with myself and Bradley (Paul), but we were so far behind in breaking things, he was going to be in Albuquerque while we were finishing up the work, so it fell to me. I was in Albuquerque for quite a stretch, because the prep for 8 fell immediately after we finished production on 6. How much of Mike’s big speech to his daughter-in-law was conceived in the room, and how much by you on your own? Gordon Smith: It’s hard to say. It is both in the room and I had to write it. The arc of it and the thrust of it, we had in the room, down to the last line, “Can you live with it?” We kept trying to figure out where it was going to land in the journey, and it felt, eventually, like that was the end of the journey. We had a lot of the bones of it. What it was that was driving his guilt and shame about this situation? So we had to pitch that out in quite a bit of detail. We had to make sure the nuances felt true for where Mike was in terms of “Saul” and what we’d seen of him so far, but also what we knew of him in the future, in the “Breaking Bad” world. We couldn’t give him a backstory that wouldn’t match up with what we knew of him in the future. What was the origin of Mike’s “I BROKE MY BOY!” exclamation? Gordon Smith: It’s a two-part thing. In the script, I think it’s “I broke my son.” And Jonathan changed it to “I broke my boy.” It worked so well when he did it. I wouldn’t have necessarily thought of it. Jonathan’s a very passionate guy, so in the script, we wanted to make sure we gave him the material that he could use and springboard off of, but not lead him to think we wanted him to overdo it. We wanted it to be a balanced performance he could put his stamp on. And that was one of his stamps, was saying “my boy.” I think, as a father, he connected so much to this feeling, that anything less than that, it didn’t feel right. When he did it on the day, he was on a run of it, it was late at night, we were all exhausted, we had all these lightning delays throughout this process. He just hit it, and we just stopped, and (director) Adam Bernstein and I looked at each other and said, “We’re not doing any better than that, period. It was brilliant.” People applauded. We kind of knew that was what we were going to be using. I don’t think we had any questions about it in the cutting room. It was in every cut from that point forward. I recently spoke with (“Breaking Bad” alum) Moira Walley-Beckett about getting the assignment to write “Ozymandias” at the last minute, and how she had to keep pinching herself once she realized she had stumbled into the most important episode in that show’s history. “Saul” is still young, but for its first season, “Five-0” was the big one. How did it feel to you as you came to recognize the opportunity you’d been given? Gordon Smith: Absolutely. It feels like the kind of thing where you’ve been struck by lightning, and then you’ve won the lottery, and then you won another lottery, and got struck by lightning again. My God, this chain of luck, just getting on this show in the first place, I felt incredibly lucky. And being able to move up and try my hand at this, I felt incredibly lucky. I’m superstitious, and now this all seems like setting up for bad news! That’s just how I think about things. This is the first act of a rise and fall story. “It happened too quickly, so he clearly had to burn out!” I’ve been scared about how this is coming so early in my writing career. You could shorten that to “Some panic.”	{ "pile_set_name": "Pile-CC" }

Does robot-assisted gait training improve ambulation in highly disabled multiple sclerosis people? A pilot randomized control trial. Robotic training is commonly used to assist walking training in patients affected by multiple sclerosis (MS) with non-conclusive results. To compare the effect of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) with that of conventional walking training (CWT) on gait competencies, global ability, fatigue and spasticity in a group of severely affected patients with MS. A pilot, single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted in 43 severe (Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score of 6-7.5) and non-autonomous ambulant in-patients with MS. Experimental group performed 12 sessions of RAGT, whereas control group performed the same amount of CWT. Primary outcome measures were gait ability assessed by 2 minutes walking test and Functional Ambulatory Category; secondary outcomes were global ability (modified Barthel Index), global mobility (Rivermead Mobility Index), severity of disease (EDSS) and subjectively perceived fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale). The number of subjects who achieved a clinical significant improvement was significantly higher in RAGT than in CWT ( p < 0.05 for both primary outcome measures). RAGT also led to an improvement in all the other clinical parameters (global ability: p < 0.001, global mobility: p < 0.001, EDSS: p = 0.014 and fatigue: p = 0.001). RAGT improved the walking competencies in non-autonomous ambulant patients with MS, with benefits in terms of perceived fatigue.	{ "pile_set_name": "PubMed Abstracts" }

this proposal will complete preclinical toxicity testing and safety assessment of i.t. Amitriptyline. We will test its effect on acute nociceptive pain alone, its interaction with iv alfentanil in acute nociceptive pain, and its efficacy alone against intradermal capsaicin-induced hyperalgesia and allodynia in humans. These effects will be correlated with CSF neurotransmitter and amitrip-tyline concentrations to provide presumptive evidence for mechanisms in humans.	{ "pile_set_name": "NIH ExPorter" }
Karen Finley I've never felt comfortable watching Karen Finley. Her act is just too angry, her performance style too raw, to be watched dispassionately. But I think that's her point: to speak the unspeakable, to find words and gestures to make the seething emotions just below the surface audible, visible, and absolutely unavoidable. In 1989's We Keep Our Victims Ready, Finley dared to play both sides in an abusive relationship, revealing in her white-hot monologues not only the contradictory emotions the daughter feels toward her father, but also the father's twisted feelings of love, hate, sexual attraction, and self-loathing. We Keep Our Victims Ready was attacked by conservatives during the culture wars of the Bush years, turning Finley into a household name as a member of the NEA Four. It has always struck me as darkly funny that what conservatives found most shocking about this show was that Finley, at one point, smears her nearly nude body with chocolate. Of course, the best way to avoid a message is to complain about the way it's delivered. In 1992's A Certain Level of Denial, which she'll perform at Metro next week, Finley begins by mocking the conservatives' facile critique of her work: she walks onstage wearing a hat and a pair of shoes and nothing else. She then dresses throughout the rest of the show. Finley, like a clever psychoanalyst, has proven herself capable of breaking through any resistance, so that we eventually see the world behind the facade in all its awful complexity. Metro, 3730 N. Clark, 549-0203. November 10 and 11: Thursday-Friday, 8 PM (all-ages show; doors open 7 PM). $12. For more than 20 years, actors and crew members stayed silent about mistreatment they suffered at the acclaimed storefront theater.

Q: What are the pros/cons of Eigen::Ref<> vs. std::reference_wrapper<>? It appears that Eigen::Ref<>, introduced in Eigen 3.2, and std::reference_wrapper<> introduced in C++11 accomplish very similar goals. Obviously, the Eigen::Ref<> does not introduce a C++11 dependency, as std::reference_wrapper<> does, but what else should be considered? (For me, C++11 dependency is not a concern.) Here are the references: (so meta, LOL): Eigen::Ref<> std::reference_wrapper<> A: They do not cover same usage. std::reference_wrapper is typically used to store references to objects of type T into containers (instead of using pointers). Eigen::Ref can wrap any Eigen's dense object that are similar to T or allocate its own memory to evaluate expressions that cannot be referenced. It is typically used as the argument types of non template functions or to unify Map, Matrix, and sub-matrices.	{ "pile_set_name": "StackExchange" }
Splenectomy for palliation of chronic myelocytic leukemia. Sixty patients with chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) (most, in the "terminal phase" of the disease) were subjected to splenectomy because of symptomatic splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia or anemia for which they required frequent transfusions. Surgical morbidity and mortality were high when the procedure was performed on a "casual" basis, but both were reduced sharply after care of these patients was restricted to a single medical-surgical-nursing team and improved technics of surgery and perioperative management were developed. Significant hematologic and clinical benefit was achieved in half of the patients and temporary arrest of the disease was often observed, but in most patients, the basic evolution of CML was not greatly altered. In eight patients, however, long-lasting improvement (one to nine years) was recorded. Measurement of the doubling time of circulating leukemic cells and other observations were consistent with the hypothesis that, in some patients, the spleen contains a more rapidly proliferating and "more malignant" population of leukemic cells than the marrow. We conclude that splenectomy is often a useful palliative procedure in advanced stages of CML, and that it may be strikingly beneficial in 10 to 15 per cent of such cases.	{ "pile_set_name": "PubMed Abstracts" }
People are unpredictable. One night you may crave Italian food, but another only Thai will do. One day you might finish a crossword puzzle in record time, and the next not a single clue prompts an answer. Such behavioral variation has been found in laboratory studies, too: a person\'s ability to find a faint image on a screen varies widely from one viewing to the next. Similarly, when an animal repeatedly receives the same stimulus---for example, a faint image---a neuron in a region of the animal\'s visual brain might be very active upon one presentation and relatively quiet the next. Across the cerebral cortex---the brain region that integrates the senses and controls voluntary movement---neurons are notorious for their unpredictable behavior. The neurons themselves don\'t create this noise; when directly stimulated with an electrode multiple times, neurons will give the same response every time. Most neurons, however, receive signals from a host of other neurons. These various signals combine to form a seemingly noisy electrical input, which shows up as fluctuations in the recipient neuron\'s membrane potential---a difference in electrical charge between the inside and outside of the cell\'s membrane. Neuron function is intimately tied to the membrane potential, which is usually maintained within a narrow range, called the resting potential. But incoming signals can push the resting potential higher or lower. If the membrane potential rises above a certain threshold, the neuron fires, sending an electrical signal down its length. In this way, the brain relays and processes information. Since the 1960s, neuroscientists trying to account for the cortex\'s variable responses have pointed to noisy inputs from other parts of the brain as the prime suspect. In this issue of PLoS Biology, Matteo Carandini addresses this longstanding mystery of neuron variability and comes up with a different answer. Carandini simultaneously measured the membrane potentials and firing patterns of individual neurons in the cat visual cortex. He found, surprisingly, that the membrane potentials varied much less than the firing patterns, ruling out noisy inputs as the cause of neurons\' noisy outputs. Instead, the neurons amplified noise in the signals they received.[](#pbio-0020314-g001){ref-type="fig"} ![Noise and threshold make neurons unpredictable](pbio.0020314.g001){#pbio-0020314-g001} Carandini then used a simple model of neuron behavior to explain why this would occur. He started with a tried-and-true approximation of neuron behavior, called the rectification model: a neuron doesn\'t fire until its membrane potential rises above a threshold, but once it crosses this threshold, its firing rate is correlated with the strength of incoming signals. Then he added the assumption that the neurons receive signals with some randomness. Given these minimal assumptions, Carandini showed that neurons fed a noisy signal will tend to amplify the noise in the signal. Importantly, his model reproduced a well-known phenomenon: as cortical neurons\' average firing rate goes up, their firing rate also becomes more variable---that is, they get noisier. Carandini\'s model also predicted something new: as the firing rate continues to increase, the firing rate should become more consistent and less noisy---which he calls saturation of variability. Carandini\'s measurements in cats showed neurons actually behave this way, a key validation of his model. It\'s not clear whether this amplification of variability is something that helps or hampers the brain. Despite being a nuisance to neuroscientists, such fluctuations could be crucial to how the brain functions, Carandini speculates. Without some variability in their cortex, animals would act like cameras or other simple machines that respond the same way each time to a stimulus. It\'s advantageous for behavior, and hence brains, to be adaptable. But amplifying noise in a signal seems to run counter to relaying and processing the information in the signal. Carandini suggests that what appears as noise in the experiments are signals from other parts of the cortex---that is, noise is in the eye of the beholder. Now that the source of the variability is clear, neuroscientists can study whether it serves a function in the brain.	{ "pile_set_name": "PubMed Central" }
Q: Python: how to save emails generated with MIME to disk I create emails using an HTML template, and I attach an image to each email. Before sending my emails out I would like to first save them on a disk for a review and then have a separate script to send the saved emails out. Currently, I generate and send emails the following way. from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.text import MIMEText from email.MIMEImage import MIMEImage from email.MIMEBase import MIMEBase from email import Encoders fileLocation = 'C:\MyDocuments\myImage.png' attachedFile = "'attachment; filename=" + fileLocation text = myhtmltemplate.format(**locals()) msg = MIMEMultipart('related') msg['Subject'] = "My subject" msg['From'] = 'sender@email.com' msg['To'] = 'receiver@email.com' msg.preamble = 'This is a multi-part message in MIME format.' msgAlternative = MIMEMultipart('alternative') msg.attach(msgAlternative) part = MIMEBase('application', "octet-stream") part.set_payload(open(fileLocation, "rb").read()) Encoders.encode_base64(part) part.add_header('Content-Disposition', attachedFile) msg.attach(part) msgText = MIMEText('This is the alternative plain text message.') msgAlternative.attach(msgText) msgText = MIMEText(text, 'html') msgAlternative.attach(msgText) fp = open(fileLocation, 'rb') msgImage = MIMEImage(fp.read()) fp.close() # Define the image's ID msgImage.add_header('Content-ID', '<image1>') msg.attach(msgImage) smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP('my.smtp.net') smtpObj.sendmail(sender, receiver, msg.as_string()) smtpObj.quit() How can I save exactly the same emails to a disk instead of sending them right away? A: Just open a file and store the raw text. If the reviewer accepts it, just forward the text. Instead of: smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP('my.smtp.net') smtpObj.sendmail(sender, receiver, msg.as_string()) smtpObj.quit() Makes it save: f = open("output_file.txt", "w+") f.write(msg.as_string()) f.close() Later on, whenever the reviewer accepts the text: # Read the file content f = open("output_file.txt", "r") email_content = f.read() f.close() # Send the e-mail smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP('my.smtp.net') smtpObj.sendmail(sender, receiver, email_content ) smtpObj.quit()	{ "pile_set_name": "StackExchange" }

Israeli PM doesn’t rule out helping Syrian rebels JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s prime minister declined to rule out the possibility of providing arms to Syrian rebel groups, saying in a television interview broadcast Thursday that the decision of whether to intervene in the neighboring civil war is a “complicated question.” Although Benjamin Netanyahu made no clear commitments, his comments indicated that he is at least considering a shift away from two years of neutrality in the Syrian civil war that pits rebels against President Bashar Assad’s regime. Key Israeli allies, including the U.S. and Jordan, already have begun assisting secular and moderate factions inside Syria despite fears that Islamic extremists are gaining influence among the rebels. Netanyahu was discussing the deteriorating security situation in Syria on BBC World News when the interviewer asked whether Israel is arming any of the rebel groups. Netanyahu said he could not confirm such speculation but did not deny it. “We are very careful,” he said. “I have said that the arming of rebels presents the question of which rebels and which arms, and it is a very complicated question for every country, including my country Israel.” Israel has been warily watching the fighting in Syria since the uprising against Assad erupted in March 2011. Although Assad is a bitter enemy, Israel has been careful not to take sides, in part because the Assad family has kept the border with Israel quiet for the past 40 years and in part because of fears of what will happen if he is toppled. Israeli officials are especially concerned that Assad’s stockpile of chemical weapons and other advanced arms could reach the hands of Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon or other hostile groups in the region. As Assad’s position has weakened, Israeli leaders have grown increasingly concerned that some of the groups trying to topple him, particularly extremist factions linked to al-Qaida, will turn their guns toward Israel. “There are the worst Islamist radicals in the world, so obviously we are concerned that weapons that are ground breaking, that can change the balance of power in the Middle East would fall into the hands of these terrorists,” Netanyahu said. In January, Israel all but confirmed that it carried out an airstrike in Syria that destroyed a shipment of anti-aircraft missiles allegedly bound for Hezbollah, a powerful militia that battled Israel to a stalemate in a monthlong war in 2006. In the BBC interview, Netanyahu refused to confirm whether Israel targeted the convoy, but noted that Israel “has the right to act” to halt weapons transfers. Direct Israeli support for any of the factions fighting inside Syria would be risky. Any group seen as being aligned with Israel could have its credibility harmed. Israel could also provoke a backlash from other dangerous factions, including the government, embroiled in the Syrian violence. More than 70,000 people have already died in the fighting, according to U.N. estimates. Moshe Maoz, a Syria expert at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, said it would make sense for Israel to supply moderate Syrian rebel groups with arms in coordination with Turkey, though he said it is unclear whether that has begun. Israel has recently moved to repair its strained ties with Turkey, and Maoz said both countries have an interest in propping up “mainstream” Muslim groups and countering the influence of Iranian-backed extremists. “Israel has to signal to the Muslim world that Israel joins them in the struggle against a common enemy Iran,” he said. “Maybe Netanyahu is going in that direction.” Netanyahu gave the interview on Wednesday during a trip to Britain, where he attended the funeral of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and met with the current prime minister, David Cameron. Netanyahu gave few details about the meeting, saying only that Israel and Britain “see eye to eye” about preventing further bloodshed in Syria. “It’s a complicated picture because you have bad fighting the bad,” he said. But Israel may feel it has no choice. In recent months, it has coped with a string of stray gunfire and mortar shells flying out of Syria into the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights. Israeli military officials believe most of the fire has been spillover from internal fighting. But in several cases, Israel determined the attacks were intentional and quickly struck back at targets inside Syria. Israel has also treated a small number of Syrians who were wounded in fighting near the Israeli frontier. Eyal Zisser, an expert on Syria at Tel Aviv University, said he “doubts very much” that Israel is currently arming rebels. But he said Israel would likely help if approached by the West. Israel would likely back secular fighters such as the groups being trained by the U.S. in neighboring Jordan, or secular and moderate Islamic factions under the Turkey-based Free Syrian Army umbrella group headed by Gen. Salim Idris. Idris is seen as a secular-minded moderate. But he is believed to have only limited control over the dozens of brigades and battalions inside Syria. Many of these groups are Islamist-leaning factions that have little coordination with each other and are often in rivalries. Some extremist groups, including Jabhat al-Nusra, have rejected his authority. Israeli officials have said in recent months that they do have ties with pro-Western elements in the Syrian opposition. One official involved in those efforts said the contacts are continuing, but discussions have only been on the “political,” not military level. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was discussing a covert diplomatic issue. In a sign of Israeli concerns, Netanyahu has made several covert trips to neighboring Jordan in recent months. Israeli officials have given few details about the visits, and Jordan has not commented. But Jordan is Israel’s closest ally in the Arab world, and both countries have a joint interest in containing any threats in Syria. U.S. and other Western and Arab officials say that Jordan has recently been facilitating arms shipments and hosting training camps for Syrian rebels since last October. American and foreign officials have told The Associated Press that the U.S. has been training secular Syrian fighters in Jordan with the aim of strengthening the hand of moderates among the country’s fractured opposition. On Wednesday, U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told Congress that the Pentagon is sending about 200 soldiers from an Army headquarters unit to Jordan to assist efforts to contain violence along the Syrian border and plan for any operations needed to ensure the safety of chemical weapons in Syria.	{ "pile_set_name": "Pile-CC" }

Nansenflua Nansenflua is an undersea rock in the northern part of Rekvedbukta off the southeastern coast of Jan Mayen in the Arctic Ocean. The shoal is named after the ship HNoMS Fridtjof Nansen, which sank after striking the previously uncharted rock in November 1940. Nansenflua is the only obstruction in Rekvedbukta. The name Nansenflua was introduced in charts published by the Norwegian Polar Institute in 1955, and is included as a recognized name in Anders K. Orvin's 1960 paper The place-names of Jan Mayen. It follows a convention based on two then in force Orders in Council, dated 28 April 1933 and 31 May 1957, of using the Nynorsk grammatical form. The suffix "-a" in the feminine definite form was chosen, as no local dialect existed on Jan Mayen. The last part of the name, "flu(a)", means "rock awash", or "sunken rock". The geographical location is given by Orvin as , with an exactitude of 1'. The rock, located two meters under the surface, has a small top area and vertical sides of about twenty meters. It is located about one nautical mile from Eggøykalven and 1.7 nautical miles west-southwest of the peninsula Eggøya. In anything but completely calm weather conditions, Nansenflua is visible by waves being broken against it. The rock is part of the remains of a crater. Shipwreck of HNoMS Fridtjof Nansen Under the command of the exiled Royal Norwegian Navy, the offshore patrol vessel HNoMS Fridtjof Nansen visited Jan Mayen in September 1940, in order to destroy and evacuate the weather station northeast of Eggøya. The ship returned in November of the same year to disrupt German plans to re-establish a weather station on the island. Entering the bay of Rekvedbukta on 8 November 1940 in calm weather, the ship collided with the hitherto unknown shoal, rapidly heeling 45°. The whole crew of 66 entered the lifeboats. The boats reached the shore during darkness, and by the next morning the ship had sunk. Four days later the shipwrecked crew was rescued by the naval trawler HNoMS Honningsvåg and brought to Iceland. The wreck of Fridtjof Nansen, which had a length of and a displacement of , is probably still located near the rock.

Q: NSTimer not working Swift I've seen this a couple of times before, but it never occured to me what might be wrong. Firstly, I want to create the effect of scrambling numbers like they do in those hacking scenes in movies. So, I made an NSTimer to make my delays such that every 0.2 seconds, the numbers change. Then, I made another timer to tell my first timer to invalidate() after two seconds. My code is as follows: import UIKit class MainPage: UIViewController { @IBOutlet var genericDeviceName: UITextField! @IBOutlet var hackButton: UIButton! @IBOutlet var rightNumber: UILabel! @IBOutlet var leftNumber: UILabel! @IBOutlet var detectionText: UILabel! @IBAction func deviceNameEnter(sender: AnyObject) { detectionText.text = "Device detected: " + genericDeviceName.text! if genericDeviceName.text == "" { detectionText.text = "Error" } hackButton.alpha = 1 } @IBAction func hackDevice(sender: AnyObject) { var tries = 0 var timer = NSTimer() var timerStop = NSTimer() timer = NSTimer (timeInterval: 0.2, target: self, selector: "update", userInfo: nil, repeats: true) timerStop = NSTimer (timeInterval: 2, target: self, selector: "endTimer", userInfo: nil, repeats: true) let diceRoll = Int(arc4random_uniform(9) + 1) let diceRollSecond = Int(arc4random_uniform(9) + 1) UIView.animateWithDuration(0.25, animations:{ self.hackButton.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(CGFloat(M_PI))}) func update() {leftNumber.text = String(diceRoll) rightNumber.text = String(diceRoll) print("it worked!")} func endTimer() { timer.invalidate() detectionText.text = "Access Granted!" timerStop.invalidate() } } override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor() } So... what went wrong? The last few times I tried using NSTimers, they didn't work either. Is my concept of an NSTimer wrong? Or is there an error in my code? There was no error message triggered, it was just that the timer did not trigger and the numbers did not change. Not even "it worked!" was printed to the logs. Please help by suggesting some code. Thank you in advance! UPDATE I've updated my code. Here it is: import UIKit class MainPage: UIViewController { @IBOutlet var genericDeviceName: UITextField! @IBOutlet var hackButton: UIButton! @IBOutlet var rightNumber: UILabel! @IBOutlet var leftNumber: UILabel! @IBOutlet var detectionText: UILabel! @IBAction func deviceNameEnter(sender: AnyObject) { detectionText.text = "Device detected: " + genericDeviceName.text! if genericDeviceName.text == "" {detectionText.text = "Error"} hackButton.alpha = 1 } let diceRoll = Int(arc4random_uniform(9) + 1) let diceRollSecond = Int(arc4random_uniform(9) + 1) func update(timer: NSTimer) {leftNumber.text = String(diceRoll) rightNumber.text = String(diceRoll) print("it worked!")} func endTimer(timerStop: NSTimer) { timer.invalidate() detectionText.text = "Access Granted!" timerStop.invalidate()} @IBAction func hackDevice(sender: AnyObject) { var timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(0.2, target: self, selector: "update:", userInfo: nil, repeats: true) NSRunLoop.currentRunLoop().addTimer(timer, forMode: NSRunLoopCommonModes) var timerStop = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(2, target: self, selector: "endTimer:", userInfo: nil, repeats: true) NSRunLoop.currentRunLoop().addTimer(timerStop, forMode: NSRunLoopCommonModes) UIView.animateWithDuration(0.25, animations:{ self.hackButton.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(CGFloat(M_PI))}) } override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() self.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor() } override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() { super.didReceiveMemoryWarning() // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated. } /* // MARK: - Navigation // In a storyboard-based application, you will often want to do a little preparation before navigation override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) { // Get the new view controller using segue.destinationViewController. // Pass the selected object to the new view controller. } */ } Currently, it seems that the function "endTimer" does not work, due to the variable "timer" not being recognised. Please help. Thank you all so much for your time! A: A few things: The selector for an NSTimer should end in a colon (e.g. "update:" or "endTimer:" And the function should take a single parameter: An NSTimer. Second, the function that the timer calls must be a top-level function of the target. Your update method is a local function of your hackDevice, function, which won't work. Third, you need to use scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval, as in ShahiM's answer: var timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval( 0.4, target: self, selector: "update:", userInfo: nil, repeats: true) That code crashes if the function in your selector is a nested function because it's not visible to the timer. Finally, it looks like you need to move the variables diceRoll and diceRollSecond out of your hackDevice function and make them instance variables of your class. A: You should move your functions out of hackDevice. Nested functions like this are generally not used in Swift. For example: let diceRoll = Int(arc4random_uniform(9) + 1) let diceRollSecond = Int(arc4random_uniform(9) + 1) var timer = NSTimer() @IBAction func hackDevice(sender: AnyObject) { var tries = 0 var timer = NSTimer() var timerStop = NSTimer() timer = NSTimer (timeInterval: 0.2, target: self, selector: "update", userInfo: nil, repeats: true) timerStop = NSTimer (timeInterval: 2, target: self, selector: "endTimer", userInfo: nil, repeats: true) UIView.animateWithDuration(0.25, animations:{ self.hackButton.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(CGFloat(M_PI))}) } func update() { leftNumber.text = String(diceRoll) rightNumber.text = String(diceRoll) print("it worked!") } func endTimer() { timer.invalidate() detectionText.text = "Access Granted!" timerStop.invalidate() } A: Try using this : var timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(0.4, target: self, selector: "update", userInfo: nil, repeats: true) Also move your update and endTimer methods outside the hackDevice method. Explanation : From Apple docs : Use the timerWithTimeInterval:invocation:repeats: or timerWithTimeInterval:target:selector:userInfo:repeats: class method to create the timer object without scheduling it on a run loop. (After creating it, you must add the timer to a run loop manually by calling the addTimer:forMode: method of the corresponding NSRunLoop object.) . Use the scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:invocation:repeats: or scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:target:selector:userInfo:repeats: class method to create the timer and schedule it on the current run loop in the default mode. So in your code, you only create the timer but it does not start running. You have to either call the addTimer(_ timer: NSTimer,forMode mode: String) to start the timer or you can simply use scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval to launch the timer right away.	{ "pile_set_name": "StackExchange" }

Please let me know in Site Discussion if anything has gone awry! Noshu leaps up to join the tangle of limbs with a loud but off-noise laugh, not directly attacking but making the situation all the more precarious as she either shoves at those who are in her way or uses their bodies as handholds to force room for herself where there is little. Alleana Alleana looked down at Noshu and grinned down at her as she resumed Dice Roll: 1d20+6z d20 Results: 1 (Total = 7) climbing (7). Unfortunately Alleana's hair had come undone and had floated against the pole. Grabbing a handfull of her own hair, the unlucky elf lost her balance and went sprawling off the pole, arms windmilling as she tried to Dice Roll: 1d20+7z d20 Results: 3 (Total = 10) grab (10) onto the nearest object on her way down, this being Noshu. The mud and oil thwarted that attempt too as her hands slid off the other woman and Alleana plunged into the mud at the base of the pole, sending gobs of it flying in all directions. 'Blehhhh' she uttered, spiting mud, utterly covered. The one gain from this was that she no longer looked crimson from embarassment and her modesty was mostly restored by a layer of mud. Alleana can see the vein in Grom's neck throbbing with the effort it takes him to nudge up barely an inch. His progress, lacking as it may be, is far better than the sudden slip she suffers. Tumbling down to the mud soaked base in a tangle of limbs is lightened some as she watches one of the woodsman sail over her in a flying tackle on his friend that had moments before tossed him into the crowd. Both woodsmen go into a tumble and the Drunk sits down beside Allena and offers her a mud flecked flask. "Have a drink, Missy?" He offers, looking up at the half-elf and half-ork above on the pole. "The wild lass about made me give up my supper with that last boot to me gut. I'm done for." Noshu, the referred to 'wild lass' is still relatively low on the pole. Both woodsmen are tumbling around in the mud and are 'out' for this round. Drunk is 'out' for the duration unless you all fall down. Reaching the Top requires five successful climb checks. DC 20 to move up DC 15 to not slide down DC 10 to not fall off Alleana Alleana smiles, wiping mud out of her eyes and takes a small swig from the flask, handing it back with a bright thank you. Looking at the pole, she stands rubs her hands clean on her already hopelessly muddy pants as pauses for a moment to consider her best options, looking around to see if there is any sand or sawdust she can rub over her hands, and seeing the sawdust at least, rubbing her hands in it to clean them and in the hope they will absorb a little of the oil for when she makes her next attempt. With the half ork managing to almost completely encircle the pole with his powerful arms, he shinnies up just out of reach of the groundlings below. The two scuffling woodsmen fall flat on their backs, gasping for breath, and give up the contest as it looks as if he might make it. Sunlight still blazes on the bronze disc at the top, beaconing for someone to reach the prize. Noshu barely manages to keep her position, slipping and sliding she climbs up as much as she slips down and ends up making no progress at all. Alleana seeks to gain an advantage. Reaching the Top requires five successful climb checks. DC 20 to move up DC 15 to not slide down DC 10 to not fall off Grom = 2 Success Alleana = 0 Success Noshu = 0 Success All NPCs have given up. If at any time there are two 'rounds' with nobody at 1 success or better, the sunlight will have extinguished and the contest will be over. Once you are 'Two Successes' up, you can no longer be grabbed by people on the ground. I am still using a basic 'CMB' check for grapple-ish maneuvers. Everyone is more or less 'flat footed'; Dexterity isn't really helpful when you're clinging to a pole.	{ "pile_set_name": "Pile-CC" }

Share this post Link to post Share on other sites swaziloo 19 I'm a fan of the automatic (what we call JFW) configuration and haven't yet felt there were any settings I wanted/needed to adjust. The one thing that has dogged me a bit, particularly when debugging VPN "why doesn't it JFW?" issues has been a lack of insight into the IP that the machine is reporting for itself, and the IP it receives from the Symless server for the location of it's client(s)/server. Even a simple right-click-on-machine "info" panel would help greatly with debugging, particularly the address(es):port(s) that have been autoconfigured.

Stabilize the product then turn on autopilot. As stated many times, it's beta software. And as you are finding out, it is not easy, and frustrating for us, to troubleshoot a blackbox. Many (most) of us are techies and are happy to be guinea pigs, but you aren't making our jobs of testing any easier if we don't know what's going on. There's no documentation, no instructions, just "install it, trust us!". Heck I didn't even know it phoned home for registration until it did it.

Are you absolutely sure you're running beta4? Because the window no longer runs anything, it's purely for configuration. If it stops working, then it's most likely a huge bug.

Introduction {#sec1-1} ============ After central nervous system injury, activation of certain intracellular pathways can reduce infarct size and damage to the brain. The neurotrophin-tropomyosin-related kinase (Trk) signaling pathway is important in this process (Bachis et al., 2002; Barnabe-Heider and Miller, 2003). Neurotrophin 3 (NT3), one of the most recently discovered members of the neurotrophin family, acts on several intracellular pathways via the TrkC receptor (Kahn et al., 1999; Yamauchi et al., 2003). The NT3/TrkC pathway is fundamental to neuroregeneration as it stimulates the growth and activity of glial cells (Postigo et al., 2002; Hess et al., 2007). Furthermore, NT3 is not only a mediator for TrkC, but also upregulates the expression of TrkA and TrkB on neuronal membranes (Lewis et al., 2006). In the present study, we used Xuesai Tong (XST) as a positive control drug. XST promotes blood circulation, making it useful for the treatment of unstable angina pectoris (Liu et al., 2008). In addition, an in vivo study showed that XST decreases thrombosis (Chen et al., 2007). This is achieved by the inhibition of platelet activation via a reduction in arachidonic acid release (Wang et al., 2004). A clinical trial revealed that continuous infusion of XST can improve nerve conductivity in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (Han, 2003). In stroke, XST has several therapeutic effects; it promotes blood circulation during ischemic stroke and reduces tissue inflammation following ischemia (Ai et al., 2004; He and Xu, 2006). XST therapy improves learning and memory, and increases neurotrophin expression in a rat model of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (He et al., 2004, 2005; Chuang et al., 2008; Son et al., 2009; Li et al., 2009). The Chinese herbal formula Tongluo Jiunao (TLJN) has recently been patented (Li et al., 2007; Qing et al., 2007; Si et al., 2009; Wang et al., 2009). TLJN protects endothelial cells in cerebral blood vessels against ischemic attacks (Li et al., 2007; Qing et al., 2007), suggesting that it may be useful in protecting the blood-brain barrier. TLJN injection promotes the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells in the rat cortex following devascularization, by upregulating endogenous nerve growth factors (Si et al., 2009). TLJN also exhibits protective effects following ischemic injury in vivo (Wang et al., 2009). The compound is a combination of two active components, Panax notoginseng and Gardenia jasminoides. In Chinese medicine, stroke is represented by a toxic heat in the head and brain collaterals; thus, any herb that can clear this toxic heat and promote blood flow is regarded as an effective therapy. Panax notoginseng and Gardenia jasminoides are known herbs with this function. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of TLJN injection on the NT3/TrkC pathway in a rat model of cerebral ischemia induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Materials and Methods {#sec1-2} ===================== Animals {#sec2-1} ------- A total of 312 male, specific pathogen-free Sprague-Dawley rats, 4 months old and weighing 283 ± 36 g, were purchased from the Experimental Animal Center of Beijing Vital River, China (License No. SCXK (Jing) 2007-0001). The study was approved by the Experimental Animal Ethics Committee of Dongzhimen Hospital Affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine in China. The rats were randomly and equally divided into four groups: normal (naïve control), model (MCAO only), TLJN (MCAO + TLJN), and XST (MCAO + XST). Four time points were used for observation: 0.5 days (n = 15), 1 day (n = 21), 3 days (n = 21), and 7 days (n = 21) following the onset of ischemia. Establishment of rat MCAO models {#sec2-2} -------------------------------- Focal cerebral ischemia was induced using the reversible filament occlusion model as previously described (Longa et al., 1989). In brief, animals were anesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate (0.4 g/kg intraperitoneally (i.p.)). The left external carotid artery was carefully dissected through a median incision in the neck. A piece of nylon suture, with a diameter of 0.25 mm and one end rounded by heat into a ball with a diameter of \< 0.3 mm, was introduced into the transected lumen of the external carotid artery and gently advanced into the internal carotid artery to block the origin of the left middle cerebral artery. The retracted soft tissues were then replaced, the incision sutured, and the rats were returned to their home cages. Body temperature was maintained at 37°C with a heat lamp and heating pad during and after surgery, until the rats regained consciousness. Neurological evaluation was performed before and 2 hours after surgery according to a previously described method (Bederson et al., 1986). Neurological scores prior to surgery were 0 for all rats. Following surgery, rats with a neurological score of ≥ 2 were selected for the study, and rats with a score of \< 2 were considered to be unsuccessful MCAO candidates. Drug treatment {#sec2-3} -------------- Concentrated TLJN solution (approval No. 2004L01620) was provided by Tianjin Hongri Pharmaceutical Co. (Tianjin, China) and contained 4.95 mg/mL geniposide, 1.02 mg/mL ginsenoside Rg1, and 1.73 mg/mL geniposidic acid. TLJN was administered daily at a dose of 3 mL/kg i.p., equivalent to the clinical dose (Si et al., 2009). Concentrated XST solution (approval No. Z53020662) was provided by Kunming Pharmaceutical Corp. (Kunming, China) and contained 25 mg/mL ginsenoside Rg1. XST was administered daily at a dose of 1.4 mL/kg (i.p.), equivalent to the clinical dose. In the model group, an equivalent volume of saline solution was injected instead of drugs. The first injection of each solution was given 2 hours after MCAO. Infarct volume percentage {#sec2-4} ------------------------- Rats were anesthetized and decapitated 1, 3, and 7 days after surgery (n = 6 in each group per time point). Brains were rapidly removed and cut into coronal sections (2-mm thick). Slices were stained with 1% 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) in 0.1 M PBS (pH 7.4) for 30 minutes at room temperature, and fixed in 10% buffered formalin overnight. The sections were photographed with an HPIAS-1000 image acquirement system (Beijing Kong Hai, China). Infarct volumes were quantified using the Cavalieri principle (Gundersen, 1986; Yang, 1990). Quantification was carried out directly by summing the infarct volumes of all sections, or indirectly, correcting for brain edema, by subtracting the volume of undamaged ipsilateral hemisphere from contralateral hemisphere. The infarct volume percentage was calculated by dividing the infarct volume by the total tissue volume and multiplying by 100%. All quantification was carried out by an investigator blind to experimental grouping. Brain tissue and serum enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) {#sec2-5} ---------------------------------------------------------------- At 0.5, 1, 3, and 7 days after MCAO, rats (n = 5--6 per group per time point) were deeply anesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate, and blood samples were collected from the abdominal aorta. The brains were removed and immediately dissected on ice. The cerebral hemisphere ipsilateral to the MCAO was dissected out and stored at −80°C. Subsequently, brain samples were homogenized in PBS buffer, the homogenate was centrifuged for 45 minutes at 9,727 × g at 4°C, and the supernatant was collected. Concentrations of brain lysate and serum NT3, as well as brain levels of growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43), were quantified using a commercially available NT3 and GAP-43 ELISA kit (Ever Systems Biology Laboratory, Sacramento, CA, USA). Protein concentrations were determined using the bicinchoninic acid method (Ye et al., 2007). RT-PCR {#sec2-6} ------ RT-PCR was used to measure TrkC gene expression in the cerebral tissue ipsilateral to the MCAO (n = 3 rats per group per time point). TrkC mRNA primer sequences were designed using Primer Premier 5.0 software (Premier, Vancouver, Canada) as follows: rat TrkC019248 251 bp: upstream, 5′-CAA GCC CAC CCA CTA CAA C-3′; downstream, 5′-AGA GGA CCA CCA GAA GGA C-3′; rat β-actin NM_031144.2 150 bp: upstream, 5′-CCC ATC TAT GAG GGT TAC GC-3′; downstream, 5′-TTT AAT GTC ACG CAC GAT TTC-3′. Band density was determined using Gel-Pro 32-bit image analysis software (Media Cybernetics, Silver Spring, MD, USA), and TrkC densities were divided by corresponding β-actin values, resulting in relative expression levels of TrkC mRNA. Immunohistochemical staining {#sec2-7} ---------------------------- Rats in each group were anesthetized and decapitated at 0.5, 1, 3, and 7 days after MCAO (n = 5 rats per time point). The brains were immersed in silicone gel and 8-μm thick coronal sections were cut using a freezing microtome (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany) for immunohistochemistry. Sections were dehydrated through an increasing ethanol gradient and stored at −20°C until use. The sections were rinsed in 20 mM PBS and incubated in 3% H~2~ O~2~/10% ethanol for 20 minutes at room temperature to block endogenous peroxidase. The sections were then boiled in 0.01 M citrate buffer for 10 minutes for antigen retrieval, and incubated overnight in rabbit anti-TrkC polyclonal antibody (1:50; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) followed by biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG (Zhongshan Golden Bridge Biotechnology, Beijing, China) at 1:1,000 dilution in 2% bovine serum albumin, for 1 hour. Finally, diaminobenzidine was used for coloration. PBS was used instead of the primary antibody as a negative control. TrkC-stained sections were digitized using a mounted camera on an Eclipse 50i microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) and an image analysis system (Nikon). To quantify TrkC expression, five high-magnification (× 100) visual fields were selected in the peri-infarct zone, and the area of positive expression was assessed compared with the total area of each field. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed blind to experimental grouping. Statistical analysis {#sec2-8} -------------------- Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. One-way analysis of variance, followed by post-hoc analysis using the Student-Newman-Keuls multiple comparison test, was performed using SPSS 11.0 software (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA). P \< 0.05 was regarded as statistically significant. Results {#sec1-3} ======= XST and TLJN reduced ischemic infarct size in rats with MCAO {#sec2-9} ------------------------------------------------------------ TTC staining showed that the infarct volumes in the TLJN and XST groups were smaller than in the model group ([Figure 1](#F1){ref-type="fig"}). One day after MCAO, total infarct volume in the TLJN group was smaller than that in the model group (P \< 0.05). On days 3 (P \< 0.01) and 7 (P \< 0.05), infarct volume was significantly smaller in both treatment groups than in the model group, with no significant difference between the XST and TLJN groups. ![Tongluo Jiunao (TLJN) injection treatment reduced the ischemic infarct size detected by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining.\ (A) The white area represents ischemic brain tissue where cellular metabolic activity had ceased, whereas the red area represents non-ischemic brain tissue where metabolic activity has been maintained.

In the present study, we evaluated the effects of TLJN injection on the NT3/TrkC pathway. Our results suggest that TLJN promotes recovery after ischemic injury by increasing NT3 levels, reducing the necrotic area, and upregulating brain GAP-43. Hypoxia can increase NT3 and TrkC gene expression in central nervous system pericytes, which increases the tolerance of neurons to hypoxia (Arimura et al., 2012). There is evidence that injection of exogenous NT3 into the brain after MCAO in rats can alleviate brain injury by decreasing TrkC expression (Wyatt et al., 1999; Zhang et al., 1999). In the present study, serum NT3 level did not change after MCAO. In addition, brain NT3 decreased on the 7^th^ day after MCAO. Brain NT3 levels in the XST group remained low throughout the period of observation, indicating that the therapeutic effects attributed to XST are not related to an effect on NT3. However, in the TLJN group, NT3 levels were particularly high during the later stages of the observation period. TTC staining is a nonspecific method used to evaluate tissue necrosis (Hua et al., 2008; Musiolik et al., 2010), whereas GAP-43 is a specific neuronal marker and plays a role in sprouting and branching (Yuan et al., 2009; Korshunova and Mosevitsky, 2010). In the present study, infarct volume was smaller in model rats that received TLJN than in those that received saline, indicating that TLJN protects brain tissue against necrosis after an ischemic attack. In addition, GAP-43 expression was elevated after TLJN, suggesting that it may improve brain function following ischemic injury. However, expression of NT3, but not TrkC, was elevated after TLJN injections. This suggests that the TLJN strengthened the NT3/TrkC pathway by increasing NT3 expression, thereby resulting in better recovery from the ischemic attack. NT3 release occurs in both the central and peripheral nervous systems, so we measured levels of NT3 in the brain and serum. In the TLJN group, brain NT3 levels peaked on day 3 in the brain but day 7 in serum, indicating that the systemic increase is secondary to central NT3 changes. We conclude, therefore, that TLJN increases brain NT3, and since XST can markedly lower NT3 in the brain, its mechanism of action is independent of the NT3/TrkC pathway. Our findings confirm that TLJN and XST cause upregulation of TrkC gene expression. However, overexpression of TrkC after XST, particularly in the later stages of ischemic injury, may be counteracted by certain regulatory mechanisms, resulting in more extensive necrosis; this is avoided with TLJN. Further studies are needed to determine the effects of TLJN following brain ischemia in humans. *Funding: This work was supported by grants from the National Basic Research Program (973 Program), No. 2012CB518602, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, No. 30830120, and a grant from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine in China.

Immunoregulation of allergic contact dermatitis. Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to haptens can serve as a valuable paradigm for understanding the physiopathology of T cell mediated immune responses. In sensitized individuals, exposure to the relevant hapten initiates clinical expression of ACD, which depends on the rapid activation of specific T cells. Mechanisms of tissue damage include direct cytotoxicity against keratinocytes, mostly mediated by CD8+ T cells, and T cell release of cytokines, which amplify the inflammatory response by targeting resident skin cells. The expression of ACD is actively regulated by specialized subsets of T lymphocytes with suppressive functions. In particular, T regulatory cells producing high levels of IL-10 suppress ACD by blocking the functions of dendritic cells. In contrast CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells prevent immunopathological reactions and maintain peripheral tolerance to haptens by acting via a cell-to-cell contact mechanism. Understanding the role of suppressor T cells and the requirements for their in vivo and in vitro expansion are critical steps for the development of specific desensitization protocols in hapten-allergic individuals. This information may also provide the basis for novel interventions in other immune-mediated diseases.	{ "pile_set_name": "PubMed Abstracts" }

Contemporary use of and future roles for heparin in antithrombotic therapy. Although heparin therapy is an established component of the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic disease, recent advances have resulted in improvements in the clinical use of this agent. Studies have shown that weight-based dosing influences significantly both the time to reach a therapeutic intensity of anticoagulation and the incidence of thromboembolic recurrence. It is now considered the standard of care. A growing understanding of the variability among activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) reagents and the influence of these differences on aPTT outcomes has led to the use of reagent-specific therapeutic ranges for heparin monitoring. Many practitioners now choose to adjust the therapeutic range to correspond to heparin serum concentrations of 0.2-0.4 U/mL rather than the more common practice of prolonging aPTT to 1.5-2.5 times the mean normal aPTT. Pharmaceutical companies have developed low molecular weight heparins to minimize adverse effects associated with unfractionated heparin. More specific thrombin inhibitors are also under investigation with the aim of improving clinical outcomes in coronary syndromes now treated with heparin. Low molecular weight heparins or specific thrombin inhibitors are unlikely to replace unfractionated heparin in the near future. Therefore, optimum dosing and appropriate monitoring of heparin are critically important in the management of thromboembolic disease.	{ "pile_set_name": "PubMed Abstracts" }

Face of the Nation A sovereign nation resides next door, yet most Central New Yorkers know little about the people who comprise the Onondaga Nation. Folks like Andy Mager, co-coordinator of the Syracuse Peace Council, and Joe Heath, general counsel for the Onondaga Nation, are working to remedy this knowledge gap. It’s something they attribute to historically inaccurate information ingrained in the public psyche by schools and the government. “There’s a piece of it that’s just plain racism,” Mager said. “We’re raised to think of natives as romantic and historic and not in a contemporary sense.” In 2000 the SPC set up the Neighbors of Onondaga Nation (NOON) subsidiary to serve as a bridge between the Onondaga Nation and the larger local population. They gave presentations, distributed publications and completed other small-scale education programs. In March 2005, when the Onondaga Nation filed their land rights action in federal District Court against New York state, Onondaga County and the city of Syracuse, interest in the Nation’s culture and history reached a critical mass. To accommodate the renewed interest, NOON set up a series of lectures from February to December 2006. The next event, titled “The Onondaga Nation and the U.S. Courts,” addresses the Nation’s land rights action. Speakers are Heath and Larry Hauptman, a distinguished professor of history at SUNY New Paltz. The lecture takes place Tuesday, July 11, 7 p.m., at Syracuse Stage, 820 E. Genesee St. Admission is free. “What I intend to talk about is the racist way we’ve dealt with Native Americans in this country. It has been shameful in terms of genocides, ethnic cleansing and stealing land. And it goes on today {in the courts},” said Heath. “We’re hopeful that we can recover from those incredible rulings, when we think about justice.” The Second Circuit Court of New York state recently dismissed a land claim by the Cayugas, while the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear a land claim by the Oneidas. The Onondaga Nation case is still in its initial stages. The Nation hopes for two things with their land action claim. First, New York state must admit that it took land illegally from the six tribes of the Iroquois Confederacy: Onondaga, Oneida, Cayuga, Seneca, Mohawk and Tuscarora. Second, that the aboriginal title still belongs to the Onondaga Nation. One misconception about the land action claim is that it would displace non-native residents should the courts find in the Nation’s favor. However, the Nation wants everyone to know they harbor no intention of evicting anyone from their home. “They know what it’s like to have their land taken from you,” Heath said. “So that’s a significant difference from similar land claims. That’s been stressed in early sessions in the lecture series.” Instead, the Nation plans to use proprietorship to protect and conserve natural resources, secure a continuing source of revenue from the Nation’s lands and, ultimately, to achieve healing. Whatever the courts decide, the Onondaga Nation still needs to repair damages done to them as a people. Healing requires contribution from all residents who are willing to recognize past wrongs and forge ahead in a new light. “We’re a long way from doing justice,” said Mager. “We would like our community to look into our collective souls and make amends with the Onondaga Nation for crimes they have suffered. In order for people to be willing to do that, they need to understand why they ought to.” For more information, call 472-5478 or visit www.peacecouncil.net/noon.	{ "pile_set_name": "Pile-CC" }

Hasebe Nobutsura Hasebe Nobutsura (Japanese: 長谷部信連（はせべのぶつら)) (year of birth unknown - Kempo-6 (1218) was a military commander between the end of Heian period and the beginning of Kamakura period. He was the son of Tametsura who was an officer for managing horses, Uma-no-jo (右馬允) History Nobutsura's character was brave and fearless. He once captured a robber getting into Tokiwa-den as a Takiguchi musha (滝口武者), the guard of Inner Palace. He was promoted to the director of the left part of center palace guard, Sahyoe-no-kami (左兵衛尉) as he was highly evaluated for capturing the robber. Later, Nobutsura served Prince Mochihito. In Jishō-4 (1180), Prince Mochihito plotted an attack against the Taira clan with Minamoto no Yorimasa, one of the Minamoto clan families. However, the plot leaked before implementation. Nobutsura helped the prince escape from the Imperial Palace to Mii-dera. Nobutsura continued fighting alone against Imperial Guards, Kebiishi (検非違使), using only a ceremonial sword, defeated only when the end of the sword broke off. He then tried to commit suicide, instead of being defeated, but he had lost his dagger and so could not. Prince Mochihito and Minanoto no Yorimasa were forced into the Battle of Uji before they were prepared. Nobutsura was captured although he fought tremendously. He did not even intend to tell where the prince was and never yielded to Taira no Munemori's cross-examination. Taira no Kiyomori admired his braveness and lessened Nobutsura's punishment to banishment to Hino District, Hōki Province. After the fall of the Taira clan, Minamoto no Yoritomo dispatched Nobutsura to Kebiishi in Aki Province and awarded him a large portion of Suzu District, Noto Province. His descendants lasted and called themselves the Cho clan (長氏) and served the Maeda clan during the Edo period.

Q: REST - How would a PUT request handle auto-incremented resource identifiers According to the HTTP 1.1. spec: If the Request-URI does not point to an existing resource, and that URI is capable of being defined as a new resource by the requesting user agent, the origin server can create the resource with that URI. So in other words, PUT can be used to create & update. More specifically, if I do a PUT request e.g. PUT /users/1 and that user does not exist, I would expect the result of this request to create a user with this ID. However, how would this work if your backend is using an auto-increment key? Would it be a case of simply ignoring it if it's not feasible (e.g. auto-increment is at 6 and I request 10) & creating if it is possible (e.g. request 7)? From the snippet I have extracted above it does appear to give you this flexibility, just looking for some clarification. A: I'd suggest that you use POST, not PUT, for an auto-increment key, or do not use the auto-increment key in the resource ID. If you use POST, then you'd POST to /users rather than to /users/1. The reply might redirect you to /users/1 or whatever the ID is. If you use PUT, then you might PUT to /users/10292829 where the number is a unique resource key generated on the client. This key can be time-generated, or it can be a hash of time, session ID, and some other factors to guarantee uniqueness of the value across your client audience. The server can then generate its own auto-incremented index, distinct from 10292829 or whatever. For more on that, see PUT vs POST in REST Following up. . . In the case of allowing PUT to /users/XXXXXXX, for all users, you'd end up with two distinct unique keys that refer to the same resource. (10292829 and 1 might refer to the same user). You'd need to decide how to allow the use of each of these different keys in a REST-style URL. Because of the need to reconcile the use of these two distinct ids, I'd prefer to use the first option, POSTing to /users and getting a unique REST url of the created resource in the response. I just re-read the relevant section of RFC 2616, and saw a return code specifically designed for this in REST applications: 10.2.2 201 Created The request has been fulfilled and resulted in a new resource being created. The newly created resource can be referenced by the URI(s) returned in the entity of the response, with the most specific URI for the resource given by a Location header field. The response SHOULD include an entity containing a list of resource characteristics and location(s) from which the user or user agent can choose the one most appropriate. The entity format is specified by the media type given in the Content-Type header field. The origin server MUST create the resource before returning the 201 status code. If the action cannot be carried out immediately, the server SHOULD respond with 202 (Accepted) response instead. So, the RESTful way to go is to POST to /users and return a 201 Created, with a Location: header specifying /users/1.	{ "pile_set_name": "StackExchange" }
Stock Car (film) Stock Car is a 1955 British crime drama film directed by Wolf Rilla and starring Paul Carpenter, Rona Anderson, and Susan Shaw. Plot When her father dies during a stock car race, Katie Glebe (Rona Anderson) takes over the running of his garage, helped by American driver Larry Duke (Paul Carpenter). Katie struggles to fend off creditors, including the unscrupulous Turk McNeil (Paul Whitsun-Jones), who seeks to repossess her property. Further dramas ensue when Turk's girlfriend Gina (Susan Shaw) shows an interest in Larry. Cast Paul Carpenter as Larry Duke Rona Anderson as Katie Glebe Susan Shaw as Gina Harry Fowler as Monty Albright Robert Rietty as Roberto Paul Whitsun-Jones as Turk McNeil Sabrina as Trixie Alma Taylor as Nurse Sprott Patrick Jordan as Jack Lorrae Desmond as Singer Frank Thornton as Doctor Critical reception The Radio Times noted, "The mediocrity is unrelenting, with the race sequences every bit as hackneyed as the risible melodrama, although Susan Shaw briefly brightens things up as a shameless floozy"; while The Spinning Image noted, "the lower half of a double bill from British B-movie specialists Butchers, here in their element with a thriller that never did anything particularly spectacular, but provided enough thrills and spills to keep the audience in their seats for the duration, though being well aware that a more expensive and starry movie was following on must have helped in that department."

PANSS rater training using Internet and videoconference: results from a pilot study. Problems associated with the clinician-administered rating scales have led to new approaches to improve rater training. These include interactive, on-line didactic tutorials and live, remote evaluation of raters' clinical skills through the use of videoconferencing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate this approach in training novice raters on the administration of the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS). Twelve trainees with no prior PANSS experience completed didactic training via CD-ROM and two remote training sessions where they interviewed a standardized patient-actor while being remotely observed in real time and given feedback. Results found a significant improvement in trainees' conceptual knowledge and an improvement in trainees' clinical skills. The use of these technologies allows for training to be more effectively delivered to diverse sites in multi-center trials, and for evaluation of raters' applied clinical skills, an area that has previously been overlooked.	{ "pile_set_name": "PubMed Abstracts" }

Since we firmly believe that every woman should own it, ours is affordably priced and styled to flatter all figures. Dress runs large While the dress is cute with a flattering cut, it hung off of my frame when I tried it on. I usually order a medium since my measurements exactly fit the description on the size chart. Being 5 feet, 3 3/4 inches tall, I almost purchased the petite length; however, the regular length hit just at my knee. The petite would have been too short. The dress isn't bad, but if you are planning to order, I recommend going a size smaller than usual. July 22, 2015 Too Short :-( The dress has a wonderful feel, and it lays beautifully - even the arms fit great (although I was nervous after reading some reviews) but it's TOO SHORT. It hits 1-2 inches above my knee (I am 5'5") - I'd never be able to freely play with my kids at the playground or even sit comfortably in a chair without worrying that my dress is just grazing my behind. Bummer - I really wanted to love this, but instead, it's just OK - it's going back :-( June 17, 2015 Shorter Length Than Expected I just received this dress today and was disappointed in how short in length it was?much too short to wear to work as I was hoping. I'm 5'2" and purchased a petite large; however, the length was a least 2-3 inches above my knee. The dress was cute so I'm going to try a regular length and see how it works. June 16, 2015 Great little black dress The waist line sat in a weird place for my body, Or maybe it was supposed to be high but it didn't look right on me and I didn't like the short sleeves. June 12, 2015 Heavy and boxy I found the fabric too heavy and the skirt didn't drape nicely. Flared out at the sides and wasn't flattering at all, I had to return it. June 11, 2015 Sizing is Wacky. Buy one size up. This dress has a flattering and classic cut. However, it was much too small. I bought a size Medium (I'm 5'7 and 145 lbs.) and it was way to tight across the bust and hips. I've had to send it back for a large. June 8, 2015 Absolutely LOVE, LOVE this Dress This fit is perfect and have recieved so many compliments. Loved it so much... I bought the black and blue...Just wished they offered this in more colors! June 7, 2015 Loved it The dress itself is great, just didn't look good on me. I don't think. But I love the quality. June 3, 2015 Does fabric pill? For example, with a chunkychunky long necklacenecklace, the strap of a cross-body or shoulder bag? A shopper on Jun 14, 2015 BEST ANSWER:I have worn this dress on four continents over three seasons, with chunky necklaces, cardigans, denim jackets, leggings, etc. and it has held up wonderfully. No pilling, no stretching out of shape, no fading even if washed in the machine (and hung to dry).

From the prior art, a number of devices and methods are known for providing the surfaces of plate-shaped elements—herein referred to as plates or panels—with a décor. The provision of plates with décors is widespread, especially in the furniture industry and the manufacturing of flooring. For example, so-called laminate panels are known for floors, which are relatively inexpensive to manufacture and easy to work with. They are usually based on a carrier plate of a wood-based material, such as MDF or HDF, on which surface an imprinted décor paper impregnated with a resin has been applied. Over the décor paper, a so-called overlay paper is usually also applied, in order to improve the durability of the upper layer. The used papers are impregnated with resins, such as for example amino resins, which cure by compression under the influence of heat and pressure. In order to enhance the abrasion resistance of the surfaces the resins are also often provided with abrasion resistant particles, such as in particular corundum. In a further development of such laminate panels so-called direct-imprinted panels have been developed. With these direct-imprinted panels, no papers are usually applied any longer, in particular no décor paper. The décor layer is printed rather by using emulsion paints by means of gravure printing directly on the surface of the panels or the plate. For this purpose, the surface is properly pretreated, in particular ground and provided with a proper primer, which is applied via rolls. After imprinting and drying of the décor layer, several polymer layers (based e.g. on polymerizable acrylate systems) are subsequently applied and cured. The resin layers serve as a protective layer and abrasion resistant surface, whereby also abrasion resistant particles are commonly embedded within. From the WO 2008/061791 A1 of the same applicant, which content is hereby fully incorporated by reference, an improvement of the above mentioned polymer layers is known. The core of the improvement is that two different liquid polymer layers are applied wet on wet over one another on the surface of a panel, such that a partial mixing of the coating agent takes place at the interface. The two layers applied wet on wet are then cured jointly, whereby the resulting cured layer has a hardness gradient due to the partial mixing, whereby the hardness of the coating decreases with increasing depth as seen from the surface of the resulting coating. From the DE 10 2004 009 160 B4 a method for manufacturing a floor panel is known, where an undercoating is applied on the surface of a plate by roll-coating, and subsequently thereon a primer also by roll-coating. Then the décor is imprinted thereon and subsequently a highly abrasion resistant as well as scratch resistant lacquer layer is applied. This document thus shows a typical method of the prior art. From WO 2011/020755 A1 an improved method is known whereby a decorative pattern is applied by means of digital printing after rolling on a primer on the surface of a plate and drying the primer. Although in particular the above mentioned WO 2008/061791 represents a significant advance in the prior art, there is still a need for improvement. It is therefore the object of the present invention to improve the known prior art and in particular to provide an imprinted panel, which has a particularly high quality print image, as well as a method for providing such an improved print image. In a further aspect, it is the object to provide a plate as well as a method, in which the adhesion of the various layers is increased, and therefore has particularly good values as to mechanical resistance. These and other objects, which will be referred to more precisely when reading the following description, or may be recognized by the person skilled in the art, are achieved by a panel according to claim 1 and a method according to claim 4.	{ "pile_set_name": "USPTO Backgrounds" }
Slow Cooker Brisket with Chipotle Cranberry Sauce The Passover Potluck is a unique annual online event. I’ve invited my friends, both Jewish and non-Jewish, to share recipes that are kosher for Passover. My goals are simple– to foster mutual understanding between different cultures, to introduce you to my foodie friends, and to share yummy recipes and cooking ideas for Passover! To learn more about the Passover holiday, click here. To learn about what makes a recipe kosher for Passover, click here. To check out the other Passover Potluck recipes, click here. — I met Cheryl D. Lee from the blog Black Girl Chef’s Whites during Thanksgiving last year. Our friend Patti Londre invited us both to participate in a holiday event for local food bloggers, which was covered by the LA Times. There, I got to taste her Spiced Roasted Root Vegetables (a vegan side dish that can also be made for the Seder), and I was hooked. Cheryl is a gem– she’s a professional chef, and she really knows good food. I’m excited for you to meet her! This recipe contains some fun flavors from South of the border. The cooking method requires you to marinate the brisket in herbs and spices for several hours, so plan ahead. I love that the cooking method frees up room in your oven, so you can fit other dishes in there while the brisket slowly cooks on the countertop. The recipe is also gluten free (if you have gluten intolerance, make sure all ingredients are certified GF). Awesome! ~ Tori – – – Cheryl says: What’s a Christian girl like me doing making a brisket for Passover? Food reaches across all ethnic and religious lines, in my opinion. Food is one way to break barriers between people. ‘Breaking bread’ is a Biblical term meaning both the literal tearing of bread or the sharing of a meal with others. Even if you don’t speak the same language as another, if you sit and share a meal with them, you come to an understanding. Years ago when I was starting my culinary career I worked for a small café in Brooklyn owned by a Jewish couple. Hanukkah and Passover where big catering holidays for us. I learned to make brisket, matzoh balls, tzimmes, kugel, charoset and even gefilte fish! We were not a kosher kitchen, but did follow the strict rules regarding the preparation of food for the Jewish holidays. I learned how to make all of these dishes from the African-American female head chef named Leslie. Leslie had worked for the café for so long she had all these recipes and techniques ingrained in her head. She wasn’t Jewish, but didn’t need to be to appreciate and learn about another culture or religious tradition. So you see, food really does cross all barriers. This version of brisket is influenced by Mexican cuisine. Growing up in Southern California, I was exposed to the Mexican culture through food. I used dried chipotle chile peppers to add a smoky heat to the sauce. If you are unable to find whole dried chipotle chiles, you can substitute with 1 teaspoons ground chipotle chile or ancho chile powder, or 1 teaspoon dried chile flakes.

Thank you very much for browsing! You will also need A slow cooker Servings:12 Kosher Key: Meat Mix the cumin, oregano, thyme and salt together in a small bowl. Rub the spices over the entire brisket and let marinate for 8 - 24 hours. In a large slow cooker, layer the onions, garlic, and chipotle, then place the brisket on top. Pour the wine over the brisket, then sprinkle 1/3 cup dried cranberries on top. Set the slow cooker to high and the timer to 6 hours. Turn the brisket over after 5 hours, making sure that the cranberries are immersed in the liquid. When the brisket is done, remove it from the slow cooker to a plate. Pour the remaining ingredients from the slow cooker into a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Pour the puree into a small pan. Using either water or broth, thin the puree out to a thinner, sauce consistency. Add the remaining 2/3 cup dried cranberries and let them warm and plump in the sauce. Adjust the seasoning to taste, if needed. Slice the brisket thinly, and ladle a some sauce onto the slices. Serve the remaining sauce on the side. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired. Hi Lucy, I think the chiles become reconstituted in the crock pot. Not sure if Cheryl (the recipe creator) is subscribed to this thread but I would make it as-written, since the liquid in the cooker will reconstitute the peppers fairly quickly. I just made it yesterday and it was fantastic, I did not have smoked chipotle powder so I used instead hot paprika in oil that I had from Israel, I work all day, so I just put the crockpot setting to low 10 hours, when I got home the house smelled amazing and the meat just fell apart when I tried to remove it from the juices. Very very yummy. Do you think this would work with a boneless beef chuck( pot roast) I just bought a 6.5 lb one. How much longer do you think I should cook it? What about making in advance and freezing ? Whole or sliced? Would love advice & suggestions. I can’t wait to make some of your recipes( apple challah, honey roast chicken etc. thanks! Took a chance on this interestng recipe because brisket is almost obligatory on seder night.Easy to follow and the results were fantastic. Tender, deep flavors, sort of knocked it out of the park .Created a reference standard, it was that good. Thanks for the inspiration.P.S. Made the sweet and sour meatballs with pineapple chunks and that was aces as well. Will definitely keep you as a resource and recommend your website to others. Hi Cheryl – that is one beauty of a brisket. We cooked ours yesterday – 3 briskets for a total of 16 lbs. of meat – 8 hours of slow cooking. Love the pairing of chipotle and cranberries with brisket. I never change my Passover brisket recipe, but I am seriously considering trying yours next year. Thanks!! LL Chipotle is a smoke-dried jalapeño pepper; you won’t find chipotle peppers(raw, dried, or smoked), but you may find smoke-dried jalapeños. There should be virtually no difference between the powder and the pepper in heat or taste… this recipe looks wonderful; it really does mesh cultures in a satisfying way. Congratulations to the chef! Cheryl, thank you so much for sharing your recipe, and for sharing your thoughts on “breaking bread” together. I couldn’t agree more! You cook with your whole heart– that’s what makes it taste so good! 🙂	{ "pile_set_name": "Pile-CC" }

Q: Debian + Ruby1.9 problem I installed ruby 1.9.1 on my Debian Squeeze. After that I tried to install ruby gems, but aptitude why-not rubygems1.9.1 i ruby1.9.1 Conflicts rubygems1.9.1 I have /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/ in my filesystem, but I havn't any binary file like rubygems1.9.1 or gems. What shall I do? A: Just run the gem1.9.1 command anyway. The reason ruby1.9.1 conflicts with rubygems1.9.1 is because rubygems has been integrated into the ruby1.9.1 package.	{ "pile_set_name": "StackExchange" }

Assessing the effect of a desensitizing agent used before in-office tooth bleaching. Tooth sensitivity has been reported with in-office tooth bleaching. The authors conducted a study to evaluate whether the use of a desensitizing agent before in-office bleaching decreased this sensitivity. Before in-office bleaching with a 35 percent hydrogen peroxide gel (three applications of 15 minutes each), clinicians applied a placebo gel on the buccal surfaces of all teeth in 15 participants in the control group, which was left undisturbed for 10 minutes. The clinicians applied a desensitizing agent to the teeth of 15 participants in the experimental group in the same manner as that described for the control (placebo) group. They repeated this protocol one week later. Patients recorded their tooth sensitivity on a 0-to-4 scale. The authors used t test (alpha = .05) to compare the tooth color changes and the intensity of tooth sensitivity between groups at baseline and immediately after the first and second appointments. The authors used Fisher exact test and t test (alpha = .05), respectively, to analyze the percentage of patients with tooth sensitivity and its intensity. The use of a desensitizing gel did not affect the bleaching efficacy. Seven participants (46.7 percent) in the experimental group and 13 participants (86.7 percent) in the control group experienced tooth sensitivity (P < .05). The intensity of sensitivity was statistically significantly higher for participants in the control group (P < .05). The use of a desensitizing gel (5 percent nitrate potassium/2 percent sodium fluoride) before in-office bleaching did not affect the bleaching efficacy but did reduce tooth sensitivity. The use of a desensitizing gel before in-office tooth bleaching can reduce tooth sensitivity, the most common side effect associated with this procedure.	{ "pile_set_name": "PubMed Abstracts" }

More Sinful Robot Developing XXX Game Using Oculus Rift Headset Rhett PardonDec 18, 2012 12:15 PM PST IRVINE, Calif. — Software developer Sinful Robot plans on debuting its first erotic encounters episode next year after consumers are introduced to the Oculus Rift, a headset that offers an immersive virtual reality experience. The Rift headset, which is set to ship to consumers next year, features full 3D stereoscopic vision and sensors that accurately tracks every movement. While still under development, the headset is estimated to sell for between $500-$800. Oculus, the developer and manufacturer, was able to garner $2.4 million in startup funds this year through a Kickstarter campaign. While the lion's share of software sales from the Rift headset likely will be drawn from gamers wanting advanced virtual reality, Sinful Robot is working the XXX angle, complete with nudity and hardcore sex. "For the first time, consumers will be brought to an immersion level using the Oculus Rift, and we will employ cool tricks to seek out all sorts of emotions from users," Jeroen Van den Bosch, Sinful Robot's co-founder and creative director, told XBIZ. But those cool tricks won't be the only reason to subscribe to Sinful Robot's software; each episode will tell a story leading up to no-holds barred sex. "We're going to be much more than porn," Van den Bosch said. "Think of the episodes like those in 'Californication,' where the man has this crazy adventure. But with Sinful Robot, you're the one in that interactive adventure, you're the one at the center of action and you're the one who's going to have that spicy sex." Van den Bosch said that after the first episode, Sinful Robot will release an episode every two months with its sixth episode serving as the finale for the season. "We're aiming to sell each episode for $9.95, and a whole season for $29.95," Van den Bosch said. So far, Van den Bosch's Irvine, Calif.-based startup is in the beginning phases to create the next generation erotic adventure video game, and he is actively recruiting 3D programmers, artists and character animators in anticipation of the first episode's release. Oculus Rift got off the ground earlier this year when John Carmack, founder of id Software and the creator of Doom, Wolfenstein 3D and Quake, showed off the headset at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles and later finding investors through Kickstarter.	{ "pile_set_name": "Pile-CC" }
