The book, when finally published in Russia in 1991, is said to have sold a million copies. In the meantime Mr. Limonov had written, among other things, “His Butler’s Story” (1987), another fictionalized memoir, inspired by his time as a housekeeper to a wealthy Manhattanite in the late 1970s. The protagonist, Maggie Paley wrote in a review in The New York Times, had a decidedly sour outlook. “He hates the underclass for being weak and stupid and the ruling class for being insensitive,” she wrote. “He hates women — whom he describes in terms of female sex organs — for using men. He considers the other Russians in New York to be snobs or boors. He has no use for political systems, Communist or capitalist. He believes in revolution as a ‘phenomenon of nature.’ Yet he’s made no plans to foment it.” The review was critical of aspects of the book, but Ms. Paley found some merit in the work. “Though Edward Limonov’s judgment may be faulty,” the review concluded, “he’s to be congratulated for his audacity, his insistence on saying what most people are afraid to say, his sheer, beautiful nerve.” After living in France for a time, Mr. Limonov returned to Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union and created the National Bolshevik Party. He became a visible if sometimes hard-to-pin-down figure, something like the semifictional characters in his books. “Limonov founded the NBP in 1993 after returning to Russia from years abroad,” The Times wrote about him in 2008. “Since then, his message has changed — from anti-Americanism and anti-capitalism to anti-Putinism and anti-fascism — though rabid nationalism has dominated.”

With just 8 days to go until the election, FBI agents are working frantically on the reopened Hillary Clinton email probe. Today, the agency confirmed it had found new emails from Hillary’s private server on the Huma-Weiner laptop. The agency is still examining the emails for relevance, but has confirmed that these messages are not duplicates of any found of Clinton’s private server. The new documents came from a computer used by Clinton aide Huma Abedin and her estranged husband, former New York congressman Anthony Weiner. The FBI obtained a warrant Monday to search the computer as part of an unrelated investigation into Weiner’s alleged sexting with a 15-year-old girl. FBI Director James Comey notified Congress last week that the agency was taking a second look into the Clinton email scandal upon discovery of the computer. You Might Like Huma Abedin insists that she did not know any of her emails were on the laptop. As we wrote here, the FBI is also looking into the Clinton Foundation. But tensions are high, and agents disagree on how to approach the case during the election. The Wall Street Journal has described the scenario as an “internal feud” within the agency.

The Celebreality Interview – Courtney While booting Courtney on Sunday’s episode of Charm School, Mo’Nique told the budding comedian, "Let the ladies who really need it, get it." Truer words have rarely been spoken on the show. Courtney is poised, witty and down-to-earth. In other words, she has charm to spare. After the jump, Courtney talks about her elimination ("That was some bulls***!"), her upcoming time on the road with Mo’Nique and why wet panties make the world a better place. People are really upset that you were booted this week. I know! That was some bulls***! I was like, how in the hell have I had immunity the whole time, and now just one some random s***, I end up getting eliminated? I didn’t really understand Mo’Nique’s final critique for you. Right! Because it was nothing. There was no reason. That’s why I’m telling you it was bulls***. There was no reason for me to go home. Nothing. Mo saying that you were "on the fence" didn’t really make sense. It didn’t fly. There were plenty of times when I made decisions. I was the judge for the fashion show! I immediately knew who I was picking. When I say I don’t care about something, I’m saying that because I really don’t f***ing care. It’s not because I don’t want to make a decision. That pisses me off. But you didn’t really seem pissed off when you were leaving. In contrast to most of the other girls, you seemed gracious, even. Well, I was pissed, but I was still shocked. I was just thinking, "I’m on TV, so keep your cool, Courtney, keep your cool." I wanted to say, "Now, Mo’Nique, how the f*** you gonna put me off while Hottie gets to do a whole bunch of s*** the whole time. She should leave. Or Darra. She put on that crazy-ass dress and let her whole team persuade her to do that." But I didn’t think that would change anything. I didn’t think that would get me put back up. So why make a fool of myself trying to stay on the show and still get eliminated? But because because your reaction was so cool, maybe you really didn’t need Charm School? Well, no. I don’t think I really needed Charm School. The things they were teaching us were real good lessons. A lot of that stuff, I didn’t know. Things about entrepreneurship and business. Some of that etiquette s***, I ain’t know! It was good. I wanted to keep learning, but just to say, do I need to feel like I need to go to Charm School, I’d say no. Another thing about the "on-the-fence" criticism is that it seems that the alternative, to not be on the fence and to be extremely aggressive and in people’s faces, isn’t exactly charming. They want you to jump out there and be argumentative about everything. That’s not me. I don’t like to argue. I hate that s***. And for me to step out there and be like, "Oh, I think she needs to go home because she did such and such and such," even if I stay, I have to live with those girls. I’m protecting myself. I don’t want to create animosity between me and somebody else to save myself. You didn’t really have beef with any of the girls in the house. No, I didn’t. It’s not that deep. Does that mean that you liked all the girls in the house? Yeah. I can say I liked everybody to different extents. But Brooke is your best friend? She’s not my best friend. I’m close to her. We’ve got history, we were both on Flavor of Love 1 and we lasted the longest besides New York and Hoopz. I have more in common with her than the rest of the girls, but she’s not my best friend. My best friend’s in North Carolina. It’s interesting that you bring up bonding over your time on Flavor of Love 1. Did you notice a divide in the house between Season 1 and Season 2 girls? Yeah. I think so. I was making a conscious effort to try to smooth that out. That’s why I think they said I was playing both sides of the fence. It’s like, no, I’m trying to make everybody get along because we’re all going toward the same goal. Everybody was trying to win $50,000. It wasn’t like Season 1 versus Season 2 and whoever wins is going to split the money. Eventually, you have to go against someone that was on the same season as you. You still refer to yourself as "Goldie," and you weren’t happy about getting rid of it on the first episode of Charm School. I still use the name. I’m a stand-up comedian. It comes into branding – I have to establish what I want people to call me. Speaking of stand-up, what’s up with the tour that Mo’Nique invited you to be a part of as you were exiting the show? We’re supposed to be playing Florida next month, the first week of June. But that isn’t set in stone yet. Do you think it’s going to work out? Yeah. I hope so. Are you still pursuing your medical degree? Yes and no. I’m doing this entertainment stuff. This is really consuming, so I really want to say that I gave it a lot of energy and time to make it happen. So I’m gonna do that, but I haven’t forgotten about school. If it doesn’t work out or if it’s not going the way I want it to, I’ll go back to school. I do motivational-speaking to kids. High school and elementary. I absolutely love it. I just did three high schools in Chicago. It was so fun. It’s especially great when you go to schools where the kids are underprivileged and they don’t know what they’re doing and don’t have plans for their lives. That’s where it makes a difference. I don’t think it really makes that big of a difference when you’re talking to kids that have already been accepted into college and that already know what they’re gonna do. I’m also getting ready to do a movie called Sister Switch, and another movie, but I forget the name of it. So how would you ultimately characterize your time on Charm School and Flavor of Love? It seems like it did you well. It was a crazy time in my life. Fun. It gave me the chance to explore a different part of who I am. I’ve been doing the school thing for so long, but the whole time I was doing that in North Carolina, people always told me that I was funny and I needed to try to get into entertainment. So this is me just seeing what’s going to happen with this. You were able to hold onto your dignity almost 100 percent of the time during both shows. What’s your secret? I know it sounds clichéd, but really just staying positive about everything and just remembering it’s not that serious. The bulls*** that happens, it’s not that serious. It’s gonna be over, you know? I just try to stay positive, because I’ve been through a lot. My mother passed, my sister, my brother passed. I have to live for something. Any final words? People should laugh everyday as hard as they can. Until they pee on themselves.

Mortality, cardiac vagal control and physical training--what's the link? There is little doubt that regular exercise results in increases in life expectancy and protects against adverse cardiac events in both healthy subjects and patients with cardiovascular disease. The mechanism of action of physical training remains unclear but a variety of evidence points towards an enhancement in cardiac vagal activity protecting against lethal arrhythmias. Just how physical training increases cardiac vagal activity is an area that is ill understood but plausible mechanisms include mediation via angiotensin II or NO. Further research is needed in this area. Exercise training is demanding and difficult, particularly for patients with cardiac disease. If the mechanism of increase in cardiac vagal activity with training can be determined it may be possible to use pharmacological approaches to mimic the effects of exercise with potentially beneficial effects.

Random musings on whatever subject strikes my fancy that day. In the wake of the Paris attacks, law enforcement officials everywhere are saying, into every microphone anyone will point at them, that they need backdoors into our encrypted communications. Because terror! Fear! They won’t mention this possibly relevant point: The terrorists did not even use encryption. This just puts an exclamation point on the fact that these people are simply using fear of a recurrence of what just happened to do something they think will make their jobs easier. It won’t make their jobs any easier, but it will surely work against dissent and whistle-blowing. It will also make everyone less safe. There is no such thing as an encryption backdoor for law-enforcement that will not also provide easy access for criminals.

Corey Lewandowski, the former Trump campaign manager, said Monday that the mainstream media is working overtime to try and sway Americans to believe the majority supports the impeachment inquiry into President Trump’s July 25 call with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky. He said, in his opinion, many reports indicate support for the inquiry, but they are "driven" by what the media believes the American people want to see. GRAHAM CALLS OUT THE NYT OVER REPORT "The media is no longer just reporting the news, they make the news," he told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, the host of “The Ingraham Angle.” He said the maneuver will backfire. Trump has been accused by Democrats of trying to engage in a quid pro quo with Kiev in order to obtain dirt on the Bidens. A whistleblower complaint claimed that Trump’s team worked to “bury” information about the summertime call. Trump denies any wrongdoing and says Democrats are just desperate after the Mueller investigation and 2020 prospects. CLICK TO SEE THE NEW-LOOK FOXBUSINESS.COM Victor Davis Hanson, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institute, said the Democrats’ move to open an impeachment inquiry is one of the “stupidest” moves in political history because they took out their best shot against Trump: Joe Biden.

Q: Is there a connection between *miser* and *misery*? From OALD: miser: a person who loves money and hates spending it misery: . [U] great suffering of the mind or body Synonym: DISTRESS Fame brought her nothing but misery. . [U] very poor living conditions Synonym: POVERTY The vast majority of the country live in utter misery. . [C] something that causes great suffering of mind or body: the miseries of unemployment . [C] (BrE, informal) a person who is always unhappy and complaining: Don't be such an old misery! ◆ Old misery guts here doesn't want to go out. Is there a philological relation between these two? They are very similar(like noun and adj) but I can't form a relation berween them... A: Yes there is. The best explanation can be found in the online etymology dictionary. miser (n.) 1540s, "miserable person, wretch," from Latin miser (adj.) "unhappy, wretched, pitiable, in distress," of unknown origin. Original sense now obsolete; main modern meaning of "money-hoarding person" recorded 1560s, from presumed unhappiness of such people. Miser,miserable, misery, and commiseration all arise from the same Latin stem miser, meaning wretched.

Alternate Matrices: Meconium, Cord Tissue, Hair, and Oral Fluid. Drug testing commonly involves serum, blood, or urine. More recently, alternative specimens for drug testing have been increasingly used for clinical and forensic toxicology. Examples include oral fluid (saliva), hair, meconium, and umbilical cord tissue. Each of these matrices has unique properties that provide advantages for certain applications. Oral fluid has easier and less invasive collection requirements than urine, the most common specimen for drug screening. Oral fluid drug testing is common in Europe and steadily gaining popularity in the United States. Hair accumulates drugs and drug metabolites and provides a much longer window of detection than blood or urine. Meconium and umbilical cord tissue each allow for assessment of prenatal drug exposure over the course of months. Limitations of these alternative matrices include need for laboratory-developed tests (exception being some oral fluid immunoassays), challenges with the specimen matrix, and incomplete understanding of drug incorporation and kinetics. This chapter briefly describes each of the above alternative specimens in terms of their utility, advantages, and limitations.

The Oil Company Whose Rig Just Exploded Sucks At Everything, Especially Safety Videos Senior Editor November 16, 2012 // 04:19 PM EST Every day, oil companies do a bunch of dumb, embarrassing things—they greenwash their oily-ass operations, they say they’re pro-environment, they ignore safety regulations, and they cut corners to increase profit margins. We just don’t really notice all of the terrible things that oil companies do until one of their rigs explodes. And here is a screenshot of Black Elk Energy’s “Save the Blue” effort, which proposes we preserve oil platforms in the Gulf, because fish like to swim around them. And because Black Elk Energy doesn’t want to pay to dismantle them. (Hat tip to Trey Pollard for this one) They made a video that shows some fish living around one of their oil platforms: Here you can sign Black Elk Energy’s petition, so you can support its mission of being lazy and not having to pay to restore the environment: The irony is just too rich. Here, CEO and president of Black Elk Energy calls his company an “ethical and ecologically friendly” operation. Here is a picture of him. Black Elk Energy probably did nothing worse than any of the other companies that own and recklessly operate oil rigs offshore. So while we rush to point out more of the ineptitude that is Black Elk Energy, let us remember: Every last one of them will look this horrible when one of their rigs explodes. And they will.

Thrilling World Rally Championship finale this weekend THE field is set and a 320-kilometre course in prime condition awaits a flat-out finale to the FIA World Rally Championship at Kennards Hire Rally Australia this weekend. The four-day thriller officially starting on Thursday, November 16, will see 78 crews and cars, including 18 internationals, tackle 21 stages on forestry and rural roads north and south of the Coffs Harbour event base. Wrapping up the most exciting and unpredictable WRC season in more than a decade, the 25th Rally Australia will welcome newly confirmed five-time world champion Sébastien Ogier atop a list of 11 of the planet's fastest rally drivers in outright contention. Nine of the 11 are World Rally winners and all are driving the spectacularly fast new-era Ford, Hyundai, Toyota and Citroën cars that have turned this year's competition on its head. Rally Australia Preview: WRC drivers are geared up and ready for Kennards Hire Rally Australia on the Coffs Coast this week. The internationals will be joined by 58 crews contesting finals of the Australian Rally Championship and New South Wales and Queensland State series, altogether making Kennards Hire Rally Australia the year's biggest and fastest event of its kind. While M-Sport Ford pilot Ogier will be freed of championship considerations for a no-holds attack on Rally Australia, Thierry Neuville (Hyundai) and Ott Tänak (M-Sport) promise an intense contest for second place in the series. "The Destination NSW Super Special Stage has some new features and the daytime stages are looking beautiful after recent rains. State forests comprise around 75 per cent of the stages and the Forestry Corporation of NSW has put enormous effort into presenting the roads and the spectator areas in great condition. "We're proud to be welcoming back the second-most successful driver in WRC history, Sébastien Ogier. Seb won his fifth FIA World Championship less than a fortnight ago - incidentally, on the same day Lewis Hamilton won his fourth in Formula 1 - and I've no doubt he'll want to reinforce his supremacy with victory here. "That won't be easy. Nine drivers line up with World Rally wins to their credit and with an incredible seven different winners alone this season. "Who's to say there won't be an eighth on the Coffs podium on Sunday-week? "Anything can happen. Being the final round, this is everyone's last chance for a result. "Flat-out is sure to be the strategy for everyone." The high-flying WRC action starts with the first special stage, Pilbara 1, at 8.13am on Friday. After the final, live-televised stage from Wedding Bells State Forest at 1.18pm on Sunday, crews will return to Coffs Harbour for the official podium ceremony at 3.30pm. Dedicated spectator parks will offer accessible, comfortable and safe viewing every day. Self-print tickets remain on sale up to the event at ticketek.com or can be bought at the gate. Kennards Hire Rally Australia this year will feature an expanded program of free public attractions designed to give fans a taste of rally atmosphere wherever they are. The popular Rally Show and ceremonial start on Thursday and podium presentation on Sunday in the Coffs Harbour main street will be complemented by a packed line-up of entertainment from Thursday to Sunday in the competitors' service park at C.ex Coffs International Stadium.

'View from the Bottom' Magazine of Kevin Maxwell – London Main menu Sub menu Racism is rife in the LGBT community Earlier this week, Jeremy Joseph, owner of the legendary LGBT nightclub G-A-Y, posted a comment on Facebook which surprised me for two reasons – the racial overtones of the remarks, and the numerous supportive comments from his followers that it garnered. Joseph’s outburst read to me like just another remark in a long history of comments by white gay people about those who are not white, feeding racism and resentment within the LGBT community. In his post, Joseph commented that, in the nine days since he had been away for Christmas, there had been two stabbings in central London. He went on to say, “one was fatal, the scum bags, Somalians, drug dealers are on the increase”, and that his New Year’s resolution was to “claim Soho back”. The post has now been taken down, and Joseph has apologised. But as a black gay man, I took several things from this incident – whether intended or not. First, a man with Joseph’s profile and influence, and an audience of young gay people, has no filter. At the time of posting, a man in his position did not think it irresponsible to post such a public statement, or stop to consider how it could impact on non-white people in his community. Second, aside from the fact he spoke of “Somalians” rather than Somalis, Joseph’s post appeared to link an ethnic group to “scum bags” and “drug dealers”. And finally I was left wondering, who does Joseph want to claim Soho back from? I’ve been used to that sort of rhetoric from Nigel Farage and Donald Trump, not a well known figure in an already marginalised social group. Can you imagine if someone had written a similar post about LGBT people? Gay activists would rightly be up in arms, just as they were earlier this week over Richard Hammond’s clumsy “ice cream” remarks. Yet, many white gay people supported what Joseph had written. Hypocrisy within the LGBT community is as widespread as racism, and I speak as someone who has experienced both first hand. One commentator wrote that maybe a “safe space” was needed in Soho for those who took offence. It was meant facetiously, but I think they have a point. I’m all for inclusivity, but people of colour are simply not welcome within the mainstream LGBT community. The sooner we admit this, the better we can deal with the problem. You only have to look at comments on gay social media, such as “No Blacks, No Asians”, together with the lack of non-white faces on the gay scene. What gay Somali would want to visit G-A-Y? I wouldn’t. There’s a reason UK Black Pride exists, along with non-white LGBT groups such as BlackOut UK for black gay men. When you’re not welcome at gay clubs and organisations, you have to create your own. It is no coincidence that many gay or bisexual people of colour have low self-esteem, depression and other issues, as they face racism in the LGBT community and the wider world too. After his post was removed, Joseph said he was sorry for causing offence to “some people”. For me, that’s not a meaningful apology because it fails to see the bigger picture. It’s an apology for being called out. Later, however, he posted a more fulsome apology, admitting that he should not have highlighted that some of these gangs are Somali, even in the heat of the moment. Before writing mindless posts such as these, white gay men in particular should pause to think about what it might be like to be both black and gay, experiencing both racism and homophobia together. But I know for many, it would be asking too much. As one supporter of Joseph said: “I liked it and I think you were right (kiss)”. LGBT people cannot ask for equality on one hand and discriminate on the other. It undermines our cause, and our integrity. People of colour do not enjoy equality within the LGBT community; they are an excluded, marginalised group. There is much work to be done to eradicate the rainbow racism that is rife.

Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop has told the United Nations the flow of diamonds to insurgencies and rebel groups in conflict zones around the world has been cut off, but more can be done. Ms Bishop, in an address to the UN General Assembly in New York on Wednesday, said the goal of a diamond market free from human rights abuses and forced labour remained. Australia has held the role of chair of The Kimberley Process since last year. The Kimberley Process started in 2000 when southern African diamond-producing states met in Kimberley, South Africa, to discuss ways to stop the trade in "conflict diamonds". "We have cut the flow of diamonds to insurgencies and rebel groups who would sacrifice peace and development for their own power," Ms Bishop said. "We have drained their finances. "We have removed, or at the least, greatly reduced this threat to peace and development." Ms Bishop said Australia has played a role in preparing the next step in the process and will work with nations to build on the important achievements of the Kimberley Process. "We can and should do more in preventing trade in conflict diamonds," Ms Bishop said. "For example we must look at other ways the diamond trade can align and support the 2030 agenda for sustainable development and sustaining peace. "We hope to see a market free from human rights abuses and free from forced labour."

Post navigation The EU Army What you will have with an EU army, if you get to the bones of it, is an army with the combined military power of Italy, France and Germany, to name the main players but including 20 odd others extra. It is not needed due to NATO, so you have to look at why the cunts want it. The Germans rule the eu. The Germans will be in control of this army. It will be an enormous structure to rival the US military in time. It will have laws enabling its deployment at short notice, or it would be useless. So what you have in essence is a huge military force in Central Europe, controlled by the Germans and yet under an EU flag and so isn’t answerable to German Parliament. This can be deployed by unelected EU officials on paper, so the people have no control. By Germany having financial control over the EU, they now have bought the loyalty of the rest of the EU. They have conquered Europe by financial means. The EU would like to expand fully into Russian territory. Hence the mess in Ukraine. Germany-expanding into Russia. Ring any bells? Take your seats for round 3. Just think about the republic army in the shit 2000’s Star Wars trilogy. Turned into storm troopers didn’t they? 28 thoughts on “The EU Army” They want an army because Juncker et. al. are bricking it that the penny will drop to the other EU countries who realise that the EU is just a bag of shite which exists purely to keep the greedy former bankers at the top and the pointless MEPs dipped in gravy on the way to a federal state that no one wants. So they need an army to defend themselves when the masses descend Bastille style on their ivory tower in Brussels. If it had just remained as the EEC and was all about trade no one would’ve given a fuck and remaining wouldn’t have been an issue but once some unelected quango cunts start to lord it over sovereign states, well it’s time for the gloves to come off. The fundimental problem with an EU army would be that if governed by the EU they would be very inefective off its own soil, think of the EU directives on right to life ect, be very difficult to operate under those terms, even harsh words could be banned. There was some EU cunt on the news the other day, he was something to do with immigration and was saying what a great success the EU immigration policy was. Obviously a delusional cunt. Anyway, what really struck me about the interview was when he was asked about Yugoslavia’s rejection of the immigrant quota. He said words to the effect that Europe had seen the results of nationalism in the past and we should learn those lessons from history. He went onto say that Europe could either become more united or else war would break out. Firstly, that is a false choice. War is not the inevitable outcome of the EU not becoming a supranational dictatorship. Secondly it tells of an EU ellite who will use an army to impose its will on any member state which refuses to comply with their edicts and use the excuse of fighting nationalism which they will conflate with facism. But we aren’t out are we, May and the EU are just stalling with all this ‘hard Brext’ ‘Soft Brexit’ fucking bullshit, they will just string it along until ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ starts and the retdarded mind-controlled public will forget all about it. We have already seen the BBC pushing all these ‘Marmitegate’ stories and apocalyptic stories about rising food and drink prices, Typical stalling and fear based bullshit to get the plebs to beg to stay in the EU. The population is growing, with all these cunts coming in and all you old cunts still hanging around. So they have to expand Heathrow or some other Airport, now next time your taking off think of the poor cunts under you having to listen to your fucking Plane flying over their £300,000 + houses whilst having their Foie Gras on toast. Yeah your all excited going on holiday aren’t you, yet you don’t care about the people underneath you, so this is a cunting for the whinging rich cunts who live under the flight path, the cunts on the planes and the cunts who are expanding the Airport(s). Ps Gatwick is a fucking shithole. The whole thing is a cunt. Sometimes evil cunts slip through our net on account of receiving insufficient publicity for their cuntitude. Hopefully I can prevent a particularly nasty cunt from getting away with it with my nomination of Montana County District Judge John McKeon. A 40 year old defendant admitted raping his 12 year old daughter multiple times and his scumbag lawyers managed to negotiate a plea agreement of 25 years in prison in exchange for their client’s guilty plea. Now the judge could have ignored this and still imposed the minimum sentence for incestuous rape (100 years PLUS a fine of $50,000). However, this being Judge John McKeon, a cunt of unparalleled magnitude, he did indeed choose to ignore the 25 year sentence of the plea agreement, instead sentencing the rapist scum to… sixty days. Yup, sixty days. Not sixty years, sixty DAYS (of which the rapist cunt will serve just 43). At the very least, both judge and defendant should be stripped of their trousers and pants and immediately dropped into whichever maximum security unit houses America’s most dangerous sex offenders. Alfred Robens, aka Lord Robens, Baron Robens of Woldingham is a dead cunt and for all that is still a cunt. The bloody Mancunian died of pneumonia in Surrey (“To Chertsey my noble Lord!”). He should have been buried in slag heap slurry like the 116 children and 28 adults at Pantglas primary school in Aberfan. Not forgotten. Cunt. The BBC are still cunts. Never mind the ‘so called’ Isis shit, every time these scum are named. In case using ‘Islamic’ offends – hence the ‘so called’ bit. But the pits was yesterday on the Today programme. Some moslem cunt was wheeled out to explain why the governments anti radicalisation policy was oppressive or whatever. (we are being victimised) Humphreys was interviewing so I looked forward to a good old Humphries kebabing of the cunt when he made the usual claims – moslems not terrorists, killing of MP was terrorism, moslems peace loving, nothing to do with us, terrorists take many forms etc etc. – You know the words by heart now. And every one a self serving lie. But no. Humphries was strangely compliant with this barrage of untruthful shit. Failed to challenge in his usual combative style. I can only conclude that there is a BBC directive to bend over backwards to give a platform to this rubbish and that serious challenges are deemed Islamophobic. We are continuing to nurture the viper in our midst when we should be recognising it for what it is and our public broadcaster should be warning of the dangers. The BBC are a set of trendy cunts. They should make Corbyn Director General and be done with. Hopefully the ordinary folk of the residual EU states (who let’s face it couldn’t give a shit about the EU either – with possible exception of Belgium who have a lot to gain by this nouveau fascist state in terms of employment, etc.) decide to have a bit of uncivil unrest. The only cunts you see spouting off about the EU, immigration, etc., are the politicos or the joe public fucktard snowflakes which extol that mantra courtesy of the EU meejah collaborators such as the Al-Be-Be-Cerah. When you look at news channels hosted on YouTube (where free speech still has a modicum of exposure), when those teams interview French, German, Italian and Greek bods you get the odd one being in favour of the EU but the vast majority despise the cunts and are as concerned as we are (especially the Germans and Swedes) about the amount of power the EU has, immigration and Frau Merkels betrayal of her own people (and EU nations in general). That view is diametrically opposed to the view presented by the EU collaborator meejah where *everyone* loves the EU. Tell you now, if they held an EU wide vote on in or out I bet the cunts would get the shock of their lives – hence why they need an EU army and an EU Stasi to make sure dissenters are suppressed. And as a product of East Germany I’m sure Frau Merkel knows how to put a good Stasi together! So when ordinary folk’s views are being suppressed/oppressed will the likes of the Byron Burger SJW cunts and Lily Allen be campaigning on their behalf? No because they will be the EU pandering trustee ilk with a special armband who, with a mere point of a finger, can have some cunt frog marched off the street never to be seen again. That’s where this EU army is heading, to silence dissenters, and fuck all to do with keeping peace or protecting borders. Utter EU cunts! Protecting borders? The combined navies effort in the med, which was supposed to be putting an end to people trafficking, is operating as a free ferry service to any cunt who can float ten yards from Libya. Part of the problem, not the solution. The eu army would probably recruit heavily from the flotsam, as they wouldn’t give a rats arse about shooting dissenting Europeans…… Only one nation has been asked if they want in or out and they voted out. The worlds media react like people are delusional or racist for wanting out , yet nobody is asking the José bloggs or the Jan Smiths of Europe what way they would vote. In pretty sure the results would be the same throughout Europe, but i wouldn’t bet on the powers that be letting the racist little plebs votes count. All we need is a Europe where no one goes to war against each other coz no cuntry will be interfering in another cuntries way of life ,and just have an aagreement that we’re all chums without unelected super cunts swanning around like Caesar, ready to bash anyone who stands up for themselves. Being pro exit ( brexit is a shit word made up media cunts) should not make us pariahs ,this is our world , and as long as we don’t hurt or hold back good people , we should all be free to do what we want. Wasn’t that what Chuck Yeager saved us for……. It must seem obvious to anybody that wants to see that the krauts have had two goes at european domination by force. That didn’t work so they turned to economic means. Lo and behold the EU comes along and they grab their chance of jumping into the drivers seat and pointing it in the direction they want to go. I have been saying this for 30 years but am always met with a smile and “oh , you just don’t like foreigners” . Look at the facts of history you cunts. It’s happening. The krauts have an inbuilt need to be in control by whatever means. If anybody thinks the EU army is going to be anything but jerry controlled they are living in dreamland. Leave these cunts behind at the first opportunity. Invoke Article 50 today before we are dragged into this fuck up in the making. I’d like to give a fucking cunting to cancer tonight after finding and my friend and father in law has terminal cancer. Another of my great grumpy miserable cunts who are gonna be taken away from me. Sorry fellow cunts for the heavy subject but cancer is a good, especially when it happens to people who don’t deserve it, people with common sense fews and like a good cunting. I’m gonna get pist now, good health all fellow grumpy cunts, keep up the cunting!! The last time someone tried for a big European army was in the late 1930s and they really fucked it up. Could you imagine an army led by the likes of cunts Juncker, Merkel, Tusk and co. We the first thing they would do is invade the UK so the divisions from eastern europe (poland, romania etc) could all sign on for their unemployment cheque and free healthcare and then try to attack Russia but end up attacking pissy italy instead because its closer and the french cunts are all cunting cowards. They are all a bunch of pointless parasitic cunts who should have been drowned at birth.

Q: GPU: converting floating-point vertex coordinates to fixed-point. How To? I am essentially trying to understand how GPUs work when it comes to converting floating vertex coordinates to fixed-point numbers during rasterization. I read this excellent article which explains already a lot things, but it also confuses me. So the article explains that because we use 32 bits integers and the edge function which as the following form (a - b)*(c - d) - (e - f)*(g - h), we are limited to the range [-16384,16383]. I understand how we get to this number. Here are my questions: First, this suggests that vertex coordinates can be negative. However what I don't understand is that technically at that stage vertex coordinates are in raster space, and all triangles should have been clipped before. Thus technically there should only be vertex coordinates in the range [0, image width] for the x-coordinate and [0, image height] for the y-coordinate? So why are coordinates negative? So the author explains the range is too limited [-16384,16383]. Indeed if you have a 2048 pixels in width and use 256 sub-pixels then the coordinate of the point in x would need to be 4194048. Thus you would get overflow. The author keeps going and explains how they do it on the GPU to work around this problem, but I simply don't get it. If someone could also explain how it's practically done on the GPU then it would be great. A: First, this suggests that vertex coordinates can be negative. However what I don't understand is that technically at that stage vertex coordinates are in raster space, and all triangles should have been clipped before. Thus technically there should only be vertex coordinates in the range [0, image width] for the x-coordinate and [0, image height] for the y-coordinate? So why are coordinates negative? The short answer is that, while the triangles have been clipped, they haven't been clipped to the viewport (0,0 - image width,image height). Instead, they are clipped to the guard-band clipping region, which is a larger rectangle that surrounds the viewport. Vertex coordinates that are outside the viewport but within the guard-band clipping region can have negative coordinates. There are (at least) three types of triangle clipping. The first is "analytic clipping", which is when you calculate the intersection of the triangle edges with the guard-band clip region edges if they overlap it, and then cut off the triangle at those points and subdivide the remainder of it into smaller triangles, each of which is now inside the clip region. The second type is when the triangle bounding box is clipped against the viewport to find the range of pixels to iterate over while rasterizing (note this doesn't change the triangle vertex coordinates). The third type is the per-pixel test described in the article where you are iterating across the screen and testing each pixel to see if it is inside the triangle. On top of this, depending on the implementation, center of the screen may be defined as (0,0) internally for the purposes of clipping calculations, meaning that anything on the left side of the screen is going to have a negative x-coordinate. So the author explains the range is too limited [-16384,16383]. Indeed if you have a 2048 pixels in width and use 256 sub-pixels then the coordinate of the point in x would need to be 4194048. Thus you would get overflow. The author keeps going and explains how they do it on the GPU to work around this problem, but I simply don't get it. If someone could also explain how it's practically done on the GPU then it would be great. Note: I'm not a GPU engineer and so this is only a high-level conceptual answer: The key phrase in the explanation given in the article is incremental evaluation. Take a look at the orient2d equation: int orient2d(const Point2D& a, const Point2D& b, const Point2D& c) { return (b.x-a.x)*(c.y-a.y) - (b.y-a.y)*(c.x-a.x); } Points a and b are triangle vertices, whereas point c is the screen co-ordinate. For a given triangle, the triangle vertices are going to remain the same while you iterate over the range of screen co-ordinates, only point c changes. Incremental evaluation means you just calculate what has changed from the previous time you evaluated the equation. Suppose we evaluate the equation one time and get a result w0: w0 = (b.x-a.x)*(c.y-a.y) - (b.y-a.y)*(c.x-a.x); Then c.x gets incremented by an amount s (the per pixel step). The new value of w0 is going to be: w0_new = (b.x-a.x)*(c.y-a.y) - (b.y-a.y)*(c.x+s-a.x); Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get: w0_new - w0 = -(b.y-a.y)*s; -(b.y-a.y)*s is a constant value for a given triangle, because s is the same amount each time (one pixel), and a and b as already mentioned are constant too. We can calculate it once and store it in a variable (call it w0_step) and then the calculation reduces to: w0_new = w0 + w0step; You can do this for w1 and w2, and also do a similar thing for the c.y step. The reason that this allows more precision is that the per pixel equation no longer contains a fixed-point multiply, which is what causes the overflow. The GPU can do a high-precision calculation once per triangle (e.g. in 64 bits) and then do a lower precision one per pixel (e.g. 32 bits).

Jason Dill isn’t ready to press pause. He is now 40, and how he even managed to get this far is something of a miracle. Known mostly as an iconic pro skateboarder, Dill is so much more than that. He is one of life’s true explorers, following his psychotic intuition up mountains that have pushed the limits of his body—both as part of the athleticism required to pursue a brutal sport, but also in search of the recreational pleasure of getting fucked up. Sometimes better known for his eccentricities, Dill’s time as a pro rider for Alien Workshop over 15 years solidified his reputation as an iconoclast in an industry defined by iconoclasm. His story is an odyssey that travels from the depths of anarchy to founding his own skate brand, Fucking Awesome. It is an appeal to the creative power of only doing what you want. Dill’s story is one with an inauspicious start. Born in 1976, he was raised by his mother in California. As he explains: “I come from fucking nothing, man. We come from a trailer park. When I first got money, I gave it to my mom. I got a check for 600 bucks and I gave it to my mom, and she let me go to New York. I would give my mom money, she couldn’t tell me no. If I’m only 16 and I’m paying the rent, then I’ve got some say so.” Living in Huntington Beach at that time, he was in close proximity to pro skater Ed Templeton, and this, together with his own drive, propelled him into the sport. At this point in skate style, jeans were oversized and skate shoes were huge. It was DC and Droors. In 1991, at just 12, he appeared in his first video spot for A1 Meats, a skateboard wheels company. It was clear from this early part that Dill was a prodigious and fearless talent, displaying a powerful and effortless style that was beyond his years. Dill’s career moved quickly, and at age 15, he attracted his first sponsor, Spitfire Wheels. Then he got a spot on the World Industries 101 team, headed up by Natas Kaupas. He was a loud-mouthed kid who constantly proved himself at contests. After hanging out at a competition in Canada with Alien Workshop pros Josh Kalis and Rob Dyrdek, he was added to the team in 1998. From that point on, the ticket for Dill’s permanent vacation had been fully paid for. As Dill reflects back on these early years, he sighs quizzically at how much he was able to get away with: “What kid goes to school until he’s 14 years old, drops out, and then flies around the planet? Usually you get the reverse. You drop out of school and you have to get a job at the gas station. I got rewarded. Skateboarding rewarded me. Skateboarding is totally insane. There have been plenty of times when I should have been demoted, but I was rewarded. Rewarded for my bad behavior.” During the purple patch of his eminence as a skateboarder, Dill filmed a part for Alien Workshop’s Photosynthesis video that is widely regarded as one of the most crucial sets of tricks performed and documented. The celebrated line on the video begins with a 360 flip into a fakie shove-it over a barrier, and then, in an almost vaudevillian move, he picks up his board, runs down a flight of stone stairs, and ollies a massive gap down the second set of stairs. Dill still looks back on this fondly as a pinnacle in his career: “Yeah, I mean, shit, I’m real happy that exists. I just think that was the shift of things in my life that really personified everything that was going on with me. I trusted those guys at Alien Workshop, visually. Whatever you guys want me to do, I’ll do it. That was the last video part that wasn’t painstaking. Everything after that was fucking hard and difficult and not as enjoyable. Photosynthesis was the high life, a lot of frivolous times caught on film, and somehow it all worked. It’s strange. It makes me feel weird when people say things like this, but they might have captured the greatest time of my life on there. That was a five-minute video part, filmed between 1998 and 2000, and I’m so goddamn happy that exists. It’s nice to have things in your life that you wouldn’t change in any way.” Each step along the way was schooling Dill, and this was definitely not a college education, but the kind of education that you can only receive if you embed yourself in New York street life. The inspiration to move east to New York initially came from his brother Chris introducing him to Scorsese movies. Then it all just made sense: “Once I was 13, I became friends with Gino Iannucci and Keith Hufnagel, and all of these skateboarders from New York. And they were like, ‘You need to come to New York.’ A lot of my first things happened in New York. The first time I took acid was in Queens. My first pro contest. The first time I ever hooked up with a girl in the back of a taxi. All in New York. It’s all magical. I’d never want to come back to California back then. I met so many people when I came that had a giant effect on me, from the mid-90s to early 2000s. Aaron Bondaroff, Dash Snow, Kunle Martins, Gio Estevez, my friend Mikey, so many people around my age that were very much doing their own thing. I learned a lot from watching people and talking to them, basically about the process of making things and living a life as a result of what you make.” To put this all into context, when Dill arrived in New York in 1994, he was too young to go and watch Larry Clark’s Kids at the Angelica cinema. Another critical landmark appeared that year, and this was the arrival of the Supreme store on Lafayette: “I walked through the doors of the Supreme store in 1994, and it changed my life. For me, I was let into the inside of wherever in New York because of the people I already knew. Then there was the whole thing of meeting people and hanging out all night long. Like talking to Harold [Hunter], and being like: ‘Wait, what? You guys are all in a movie?’ I think about how young I was, and how green I was. I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing. Every corner I turned, I was dumbfounded. But I could not let anyone else realize that. I was stoked at everything.” Dill became embedded in the DNA of Supreme. As a fixture on the bench outside the store, he became the embodiment of the brand, modeling for their look books. He took on everything the city could throw at him. That side of New York, at that time, was its own world of unruliness. Dill quickly descended—or ascended—into being a “completely psycho, drug addicted alcoholic.” His life inside and outside of skateboarding became a part of the city’s folklore: “From there in my twenties, I spent over a decade blacking out and being super psycho. And I loved it. I absolutely had the greatest time. It caused a lot of problems and people got really bummed, but such is life, you know. The pictures I took, the people I met, the life I led, the things I got to do, the places I went, I’d never take that away. Well over a decade, but so what? I’m not still the same. I just put different shit in my gas tank. I’m not sober nowadays by any stretch of the imagination, but that’s why I don’t wake up and look back. I had a decade-long vacation. A huge amount of my life that came out of those days helps me now, which sounds totally crazy.” The Hole on 2nd Avenue became Dill’s home between 2002 and 2005. Just to do something different, he decided to work behind the bar there: “Wednesdays and Saturdays were our nights. It was everything—our gay friends, our straight friends, graf kids, skate, anybody. Old New York people. It was fucked up. The bathroom door was gone. I asked if I could be a bartender there. For a while I did that. I’d do the best I could. Sometimes I’d smoke PCP while I was working. Then I had this girlfriend who was really into smoking crack at the time, so she’d bring some into work. It was so wild. It was so dark in there, so you could get away with anything. It was a beautiful time.” Jason Dill at Bahnhof Zoo, Berlin Jason Dill with Dash Snow Scenes from Los Angeles, New York, and Berlin During this era, he continued to film video parts, but was deep in a wormhole of partying in New York. As a pro skateboarder, his name had become a brand. “The existence of being a pro skateboarder in your twenties—and there’s product with your name on it. You go out and do whatever the fuck you want. I was a pro skateboarder who wouldn’t look at a magazine or touch a skateboard for a year. Because what I was, was a product flying around the world.” Yet this hardcore life on the frontline of drugs and booze has not been without consequence: “In my case, it was just elevating at times. And the complete opposite at times. Complete hospitalization, being completely broke. All that stuff comes from being a drug addict and an alcoholic.” Hospitalization would more squarely read as being as close to death as you can be without actually dying. In no uncertain terms, he elaborates, “I had a gastric hemorrhage and I was in pretty bad shape even upon being discharged from the hospital.” This served as an epiphany to slow down a little, along with the untimely passing of two of his closest friends, both from drug overdoses: “A good friend of mine died of a drug overdose and that really slapped me in the face. And about a year before that, another friend of both of ours, he died of a drug overdose. That happened, and I was sober for a couple of years, and that took me up to 34, skateboarding with all of my might. My actions on a skateboard between 33 and 37 brought us to where we are now.” But Dill is not one to stay on track: “Almost a year and a half ago, I had my first intervention with a bunch of friends. What can I say? I love drugs. All that AA and stuff, I just can’t do it. I get the system, but it’s just not for me. But hey, I’m an asshole. If I stopped smoking weed, what would I do? Start hiking? I don’t even know if I like hiking.” Not one to blame any single reason for falling into addiction, Dill admits that the life of being a pro skateboarder in your twenties with access to relatively unlimited cash certainly contributed: “It’s tailor made for it. Well, we’re not talking about millions of dollars a year. We’re talking 100,000 dollars a year, maybe more. And you can get real fucked up on a hundred grand a year. It’s like being a rich kid with your dad’s money, but instead, you’re by yourself. You help pay for your family because they’re poor and you can act like you’re rich. You’re completely on your own. You go out and do whatever the fuck you want.” Dill moved to LA five years ago, simply because he wanted to throw himself back into skateboarding more. He had spent time living in LA in 2001, and his recent move back was partly prompted by the New York winter cutting too deeply into the time he could commit to skating. But that’s not the only reason: “You constantly hear people saying you missed the greatest generation in New York, whether they talk about the 1920s or early 2000s. 9/11 changed everything. Before then, there were so many more skate spots downtown, less of a police presence in general. When you’d skateboard in New York, all the way down Battery Park, all the way up to midtown, the CBS Building, Time Life, you’d know where places had security. After 9/11, the deli had security. New York will always be for young people, that’s what I find anyway. I also just needed to find out what was left of my skateboarding career. Then, luckily, when I came back in, they put me on the cover of Thrasher. I was like: ‘Holy shit, woah, people want to see me skate still. Cool.’” He decided to leave Alien Workshop, the company that had supported him for 15 years, and just get on with it: “In 2013, it was all just a bit stale. And me being older. And not wanting to die with a company. And Alien Workshop turning into the Titanic. I realized I needed to leave otherwise I’d rust. It was super emotional and gnarly to leave something that you’ve been a part of for that long. But I had to go and do my own thing. In my eyes, there was a lack of something in the skateboard world in 2013. Skateboarding in 2013 felt like it was at the mall. You just put your stuff on an ageing pro skateboarder who has some sort of lineage. It was so squuuaaaare. So accepted. It was a mixture of knowing that it needed to get beat up a bit for being a kook.” By 2013, there was another watershed moment in his career. Dill decided to seize this opportunity to take life more seriously and step it up a notch or two: “I just thought: ‘Fuck this! I’m gonna make Fucking Awesome a skateboard company and do the whole deal.’ It wasn’t so much coming-of-age, but getting to an age and thinking, ‘Fuck, I can’t just keep doing the same thing.’ I need to re-appropriate what I do and put out what I put out. Instead of maybe putting out skateboard tricks, I was putting out an entire line of everything. That’s what happened, and I wouldn’t take it back.” Dill’s role at Fucking Awesome, as he puts it, is “the sole proprietor for imagery.” The brand has one eye on the appropriation of American counter-culture and one eye on provocation. The Fucking Awesome logo is brash and unapologetic. The company’s roots, it could be said, are in Steve Rocco’s approach with World Industries, Blind, and Big Brother magazine. The brand’s attitude was typified by a t-shirt featuring five dictators and George Bush, each with one hand up, emblazoned with the line, “All those in favor of Fucking Awesome, raise your hand.” Outlining his working process, Dill offers: “When you’re making shit, no one gets it. No one understands. I don’t just sit there at a computer moving shit around. I go out in the world, whether it’s Paris or Pittsburgh, or a fucking shop in Stoke Newington that sells old books. I’ll stand there for three hours and look through all that shit. And I might not find anything. But all of this is accumulated and shot out through my system. It’s how the whole operation works as far as making this company.”

Sign up for our COVID-19 newsletter to stay up-to-date on the latest coronavirus news throughout New York City If you thought poking fun at zany actor Nicolas Cage was just the preserve of the Internet, think again: now the world’s most famous living meme has gone offline to feature on a ginormous bouncy castle. The ludicrous ‘Nicolas Cage in a Cage’ attraction will allow visitors to jump around, hug or punch a giant effigy of the thespian. “Throughout internet history, we’ve seen Nicolas Cage lose his shit and be everyone, but we’ve never seen Nicolas Cage in a cage,” says Barcelona-based art collective Hungry Castle, who are debuting their inflatable installation at Splendour musical festival in Australia this month before a world tour. “ Nicolas, if you’re reading this. We’d love to get you inside your own Nicolas Cage in a cage,” said Killian Cooper, art director of Hungry Castle, whose previous work was a giant inflatable head of singer Lionel Richie. What’s behind ‘Nicolas Cage in a Cage’? We were inspired by the internet’s obsession with Nicolas Cage. He’s not just an actor, he’s a banana, he’s a vampire, he’s a hamster, he’s everyone. He’s also a polarising figure: there are people who love him, there are others who hate him. We want to give people a platform to inspire their own reaction. So, does this bouncy castle mock or praise him? That’s up to you to decide. Nicolas Cage already was in a cage, in some of his movies… Yes, they stuck him in a jail in “Con Air”. He’s been in a bee cage in “The Wicker Man”. And then there was him on Alcatraz in “The Rock”. But that’s all Hollywood, la-la land. This will be his first ever appearance in a bouncy castle cage. And if Cage himself sees this bouncy castle… Nicolas, if you’re reading this: We’d love to get you inside your own Nicolas Cage in a cage. We think you would enjoy the surreal experience. It could be dangerous though; the entire fabric of the internet is at risk of spontaneous ‘cage-bustion’. What kind of reaction are you hoping from the public? There will be cage lovers. There will be cage haters. But whatever happens, you won’t break him. We hope that it brings a few smiles to people’s faces and perhaps a story to tell their grandchildren.

The music industry in Germany has secured a legal victory over the hugely popular file-hosting service, Rapidshare. According to the rights holders, Rapidshare is going to have to stop its users from downloading infringing music tracks from its servers, or face the prospect of being shut down. Last week we reported on rumors that Rapidshare had, or was about to be, shut down, rumors that now look likely to resurface. The company, one of the world’s largest ‘one-click’ file hosting services, has lost a copyright infringement case against German performing rights outfit, GEMA. Representing a claimed 60,000 members and more than 1 million rights owners worldwide, GEMA has taken an aggressive stance in pursuing legal action against Rapidshare, trying to force it to be accountable for the infringing actions of its users. For its part, Rapidshare has always insisted that it cannot be held responsible for these actions, such as when users upload copyright works (in this case, music) to their servers for subsequent downloading by others. On 23 January 2008, the district court in Düsseldorf (Landgericht) disagreed with this assertion after GEMA succeeded in convincing the court that Rapidshare should take responsibility for infringements carried out within its service. GEMA are trying to imply that as a result of the decision, Rapidshare will be forced to take preventative action to stop GEMA works from even getting onto their servers, rather than a DMCA-style after-the-fact removal. GEMA says that if Rapidshare are forced to filter they will likely end up with a service that’s not worth operating, so they may decide to shut it down completely. The GEMA press release has been published before the complete court decision, so it should be digested with at least a degree of scepticism, considering the huge amounts of spin employed by anti-piracy agencies and the music industries alike. In a statement, Dr. Harald Heker, Chairman of the board at GEMA said: “This decision is a milestone in the fight against the illegal use of our repertoire”, which was almost a carbon-copy of a statement he made about the decision from a previous court case against Rapidshare. He went on to explain that measures have to be put in place for the protection of rights holders and claiming that file-hosts are not responsible for what their users do, is no longer an option. “With this decision of general principle,” he said, “the course of future action against comparable services has been smoothed.” In their press release, GEMA speaks about the decision of the District Court of Düsseldorf but also mentions a decision from the District Court of Cologne. TorrentFreak spoke to Christian Solmecke a lawyer at the Cologne Chambers of Lawyers Wilde & Beuger, to see what is likely to have happened in these cases. He told us: “The normal way is as follows: GEMA files a lawsuit against Rapidshare because of alleged copyright infringement on three or four songs. If GEMA wins, Rapidshare is then obliged not to host these particular songs.” Lots of anti-piracy and industry bodies state that it’s possible for file-hosting services and even ISPs to monitor, police and filter copyright works from their servers and networks. This case is no different, except this time it’s the court that has demanded this type of action. Christian explains: “From a legal point of view, it is interesting that the District Court of Düsseldorf decided that Rapidshare has to carry out a lot of preventive actions (if the GEMA press release is correct on this point, of course). This could mean that Rapidshare has to check all of its hosted material for copyright infringements – which is nearly impossible.” The instruction for Rapidshare to take preventative action is new, and despite another similar court case reaching a different decision. Christian explains: “Only 30 kilometers away from Düsseldorf, we’ve already had a similar law suit in Cologne. In that case the Oberlandesgericht (Higher Regional Court and Court of Appeal) decided that Rapidshare is only obliged to delete specific songs stated by GEMA. They were not obliged to take preventative action.” “The future will tell us which interpretation of the law is correct.” Christian told us. “Perhaps in one or two years we will get a decision on this question from the Federal Court of Justice.” As the world struggles to update its laws to cope with the digital revolution, the courts – and lawyers – are being kept very busy indeed. So back to the original question: Is Rapidshare going to be closed down – or be left with no alternative but to shut itself down? Well – maybe……maybe not. Christian finishes up: “I believe that Rapidshare will appeal against the decision of the Landgericht (District Court) of Düsseldorf. If they do so, we will have to wait and see what the Oberlandesgericht (Higher District Court) of Düsseldorf (as the Court of Appeal) says.” In the meantime, while the legal wheels turn and turn, Rapidshare.com and Rapidshare.de continue to operate as usual.

The present invention relates to grey-water utilisation in aircraft. In particular the present invention relates to a grey-water utilisation system for an aircraft; an aircraft comprising a grey-water utilisation system; and the use of a corresponding grey-water utilisation system in an aircraft. Today's commercial aircraft use vacuum toilet systems in which sewage is conveyed from the toilet bowl to a waste-water tank by means of the airstream resulting from the pressure differential between the sewage tank and the cabin. In order to support this conveyance and to clean the toilet bowl, in each flushing action a small amount of water is sprayed into said toilet bowl by way of a spray ring. The water used for this purpose is potable water that originates from the on-board potable-water tanks and has to be carried along in addition for this sole purpose. Furthermore, grey-water systems are used which convey the used water from lavatory basins, galley sinks and freight-compartment drainage to the outside by way of so-called drain masts, i.e., heated outlet stubs on the underside of the fuselage. These drain masts contribute to increased air resistance.

Internal memory =/= RAM memory The 8Gb of internal memory does us no good as the RAM memory ( 192Mb ) is the problem on the galaxy, same as the slow processor is. Don't know why ur so upset because internal memory has nothing to do with the lack of 2.1 on our phones. that's pretty much a confirmation that 192 megs of ram is enough to run froyo and obviously with the new jit compiler, cpu shouldn't be a problem either, it's just up to samsung (*sigh*) to either do froyo or release the necessary sources/drives for drakaz & co. to do it for them Honestly, this can be done. I mean my old HTC Touch CDMA *is* running 2.1 on a custom .25 kernel built by a fantastic guy in New Zealand (look at the Touch CDMA forum on XDA for the awesomeness of a community that has really breathed new life into a phone long past it's "usable" lifetime), so I see no reason that we can't pull things together and have 2.2 running on this beast in a bit of time. I mean, we'll need more that just Drakaz doing the work here and will need to find a way to get/build kernel modules for some of the proprietary hardware that Samsung is using (probably the touchscreen and camera of the top of my head) unless they have folded it all into the offical .29 kernel they built. But I'm very hopeful for a future for my Galaxy. Mostly cause I know that I'm stuck with it for the next 2.5 years btw it's funny to see the words "no phones left behind" coming out from the network that sells behold 2 Click to expand... Tmobiles mytouch 3g only switched to the 288mb ram of the 32A in FEB 2010, so unless they ve put a disclaimer they are only updating the version 1.2 of the mytouch 3g, which i havent seen anywhere, then to me it reads as if they are froyo'ing all mytouch 3g's.

Axillary lymph nodes: mammographic, pathologic, and clinical correlation. The purpose of this study was to determine the cause and frequency of axillary abnormalities seen mammographically and to evaluate the imaging characteristics of lymphadenopathy that are associated with malignancy. Ninety-six axillary abnormalities seen mammographically in 94 patients were retrospectively reviewed and correlated with the clinical diagnoses and pathologic results found in the medical records. For each abnormality, the length, margins, and presence of microcalcifications were noted. Logistic regression was used to determine an association between these findings and status (benign or malignant). Seventy-six of 94 patients had lymphadenopathy. Eighteen of 94 patients had an abnormality other than lymphadenopathy. Because two of these 94 patients had more than one abnormality, a total of 96 abnormalities occurred, 20 of which were due to an abnormality other than lymphadenopathy. Regarding the 76 cases of lymphadenopathy, the most frequent diagnosis was nonspecific benign lymphadenopathy in 29% (n = 22) of cases, followed by metastatic breast cancer in 26% (n = 20) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia or well-differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma in 17% (n = 13). Other causes (n = 21) included collagen vascular disease, lymphomas other than well-differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma, metastatic disease from nonbreast primary site, metastatic disease from unknown primary site, sarcoidosis. HIV-related lymphadenopathy, and reactive lymphadenopathy associated with a breast abscess. An association between length of nonfatty lymph nodes and malignant status was statistically significant at the .001 level. When a length greater than 33 mm was used as a predictor of malignancy, the specificity and sensitivity were 97% and 31%, respectively. We found an association between malignancy and nonfatty lymph nodes with ill-defined or spiculated margins (p = .053). Regarding the 20 abnormalities other than lymphadenopathy, epidermal cysts (n = 7) were most prevalent. The most common axillary abnormality revealed on mammography was abnormal lymph nodes. Homogeneously dense (nonfatty) axillary lymph nodes were strongly associated with malignancy when the lymph nodes were longer than 33 mm, had ill-defined or spiculated margins, or contained intranodal microcalcifications. However, our study confirmed that in most cases benign and malignant lymph nodes cannot be distinguished from each other mammographically.

The RMC serves as a resource to the Principal Research Core by providing innovative methodological approaches to adapt EBP protocols for use in community setfings. Approaches include (a) identificafion of tailoring constructs and selection of reliable, valid, culturally sensitive and ecologically feasible measures that assess these tailoring constructs, (b) development of flexible experimental designs embedded in 'pragmatic' intervention trials to answer tactical questions regarding targeted decision-making (i.e., inform the construction of decision rules), (c) packaging of decision rules (for needs-based adaptive models) and decision supports (for preference- based adapfive models) for community consumption, (d) development of web-based technology to facilitate on- line monitoring of fidelity implementation of adaptive models by community implementers, and (5) application of statistical techniques to analyze qualitative and quantitative data generated by DC trials. Figure X illustrates the units and subunits of the RMC.

Q: Motivating algebra from quadratic equations This question gave me pause for thought. We have a quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$. How much algebra can be motivated from the standard solution. Comments point out that the formula does not apply in characteristic 2, and that we need to be able to divide by $a$ and take the square root of the discriminant. I reckon this gets us thinking about fractions, fraction fields (and even local fields) with the rationals as the field of fractions of the integers (and rational functions from polynomials not far behind). Then we get quadratic extensions of fields and rings. Including Complex Numbers. What struck me was that relatively elementary observations could take us a long way. I think of talking to my daughter (age 13) about mathematical ideas and reckon I could do all of the above with her in the Quadratic case. But the quadratic case has some special features and therefore is not always paradigmatic for general theory. It has always seemed to me that indicating possible directions of travel in generalising simple results would be of huge benefit in motivating bright youngsters to take up mathematics. I'm looking for answers which give me insight into how much algebra, algebraic geometry, algebraic number theory I could motivate in an elementary way based on the "formula" for solving a quadratic equation. A: You can motivate a lot of Number Theory by picking a positive integer $n$ and asking, what if, instead of requiring $ax^2+bx+c$ to be zero, we settle for it being a multiple of $n$? From this you can define congruences, you can see what makes primes so special by reducing the general case to the case where $n$ is prime, you can introduce finite fields, you can motivate quadratic reciprocity (which is the question, if $p$ and $q$ are odd primes, and there is an integer $x$ such that $x^2-p$ is a multiple of $q$, is there an integer $y$ such that $y^2-q$ is a multiple of $p$?), and from there the sky's the limit.

SOFT SIDE OF ME What better way to pair white culottes than with the Gucci Dionysus bag? We’ve been seeing them sprawling over the internet and social media, and I have to admit that the snake-like buckle crafted from the label’s iconic ‘GG’ motif is fiercely killing me. Keeping the look as minimal as it can be and let the accessories do the rest. It’s a bit tricky to rework such a formal workwear look into something fun and quirky, the pink frame of Gentle Monster perfectly does the job while keeping the look easy going and feminine chic.

Every week we pile our garbage on the curb and it disappears—like magic! The reality is anything but, of course. Trashed, Derf Backderf’s follow-up to the critically acclaimed, award-winning international bestseller My Friend Dahmer, is an ode to the crap job of all crap jobs—garbage collector. Anyone who has ever been trapped in a soul-sucking gig will relate to this tale. Trashed follows the raucous escapades of three 20-something friends as they clean the streets of pile after pile of stinking garbage, while battling annoying small-town bureaucrats, bizarre townfolk, sweltering summer heat, and frigid winter storms. Trashed is fiction, but is inspired by Derf’s own experiences as a garbage­man. Interspersed are nonfiction pages that detail what our garbage is and where it goes. The answers will stun you. Hop on the garbage truck named Betty and ride along with Derf on a journey into the vast, secret world of garbage. Trashed is a hilarious, stomach-churning tale that will leave you laughing and wincing in disbelief. Soon to be a major motion picture from director Bradley Jay Kaplan (Stealing Cars).

French patent applications FR-A-2 749 489 and FR-A-2 749 490 disclose brushes that have a non-rectilinear core, e.g. that is shaped to match the curve of the eye. Such brushes are not suitable for all users, since the curve of the brush requires the user to perform strokes that certain people find difficult. Patent application EP-A2-1 236 420 discloses a brush having a core that is curved over at least a fraction of its length, the free end of the brush not being in alignment with the axis of the stem. During manufacture of the device comprising the receptacle and the brush, such a brush can turn out to be relatively difficult to insert in the neck of the receptacle containing the composition. European patent application EP-A-1 424 024 discloses an applicator comprising a brush having a core that includes a portion carrying the bristles that forms a non-zero angle of less than 20° with the longitudinal axis of the end of the stem. Such brushes require the user to adapt the strokes they use, since said brushes do not enable the user to comb the eyelashes or the eyebrows in the same manner as with a conventional brush that has a core that does not slope relative to the longitudinal axis of the stem. Brushes are also known that comprise a rectilinear core that extends along the axis of the stem and that has bristles that define an envelope surface that presents at least one concave or convex face. French patent application FR-A-2 811 525 discloses “off-center” brushes having a core that extends in alignment with the stem and along the longitudinal axis of said stem, the brush presenting faces forming a non-zero angle with the longitudinal axis of the core. The off-center brushes present the drawback of external appearance that can turn out to be disconcerting to the user. In addition, they are not wiped symmetrically from one end of the brush to the other, thereby causing flattening over continued use.

Georgia police have arrested three people — Tyreese Johnson (19), Shaleeya Moore (18) and Joshua Ellis (21) — suspected of murdering a 28-year-old gay social worker named Ronald Trey Peters during early June. Police arrested Ellis in at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on June 6. According to Project Q, “He’s being held on three charges – aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault and armed robbery – from an unrelated case, according to jail records.” Related: Man arrested for the murder of trans woman Muhlaysia Booker Police arrested Johnson on July 31 and Moore on July 27. It’s unclear if they have past criminal records. Two of the suspects reportedly held Peters up at gunpoint for his bag while wearing masks and then shot him multiple times near a MARTA transit station at 8:30 a.m on June 4. A witness said one of the attackers told Peters, “Give me your bag, f*ggot.” Then, according to the Atlanta Constitution Journal, “One of the unidentified suspects shot the victim in the chest with a chrome pistol, then proceeded to shoot him again in the neck after he was on the ground and took his bag.” The men allegedly fled in a maroon, four-door truck with a third person driving. Peters was transported to a local hospital and pronounced dead. Police released photos of the three suspects late last month and declared the murder as “hate motivated.” However, Georgia has no hate crime laws that offer enhanced penalties for targeting a person based on sexual orientation. In response to the slaying, Allison Padilla-Goodman of the Anti-Defamation League urged state lawmakers to pass hate crimes legislation and added:

Abstract : For (lambda, mu) and (g,f) small, the equation x - x + 2x cubed + g(x) = - lambda x + mu(cos t + f(t))is considered near the separatrix S of the unperturbed equation (lambda, mu) = (0,0). For (g,f) in a neighborhood of the zero functions, a complete description is given of the bifurcation curves in (lambda, mu) - space to homoclinic points. The perturbation of subharmonics outside S is also considered in a symmetric and nonsymmetric case.

A Florida man is under arrest after deputies said he sent sexually explicit text messages and a naked photo of himself to an 11-year-old girl. A Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO) detective, who is a part of a national task force known as South Florida Internet Crimes Against Children, received a sworn statement from the girl claiming that 22-year-old Cristian Murcia Araujo sent her inappropriate text messages and a photo. The girl told the detective that Araujo told her she was pretty, asked if she had a boyfriend and requested a full body picture. The girl said she responded negatively, telling Araujo, "No, don't you know I am 11 years old and you have a girlfriend." The girl told the detective that Araujo then sent her a photo of his genitals and a fully clothed image of himself. According to PBSO, a controlled phone call was conducted between the girl's mother and Araujo. During the phone call, PBSO says Araujo made the following statements: "I know what I did was wrong" and "she asked me for the picture." When the mother asked why he would send a picture of his genitals to an 11-year-old, even if she asked for the photo, Araujo replied, "Because I'm an idiot." When the detective reviewed the contents of Araujo's cell phone, she observed a very sexually explicit text message conversation between he and the girl. The detective said Araujo admitted to having a sexually explicit conversation with an 11-year-old girl and sending her pornographic images of himself. Cristian Murcia Araujo is charged with one count of solicitation of a child, one count of misuse of a two-way communication device, and one count of transmission of material harmful to a minor. He was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail.

Psychedelic Ransom Notes Product Notes Nnmaddox is a revolutionary. Make no mistake about it. He's fronted successful bands. He's a radio star, the founder of 14mercy, the producer of award-nominated albums and an inspiration to legions of fans. He's been called a visionary, a genius, and a pioneer in this digital age. He's turned virtual unknowns into phenomenons. All of that aside, he has also released some of the most unique solo albums in recent years. Psychedelic Ransom Notes picks up where Rainbow Kaleidoscope left off. But while the latter contained simple pop songs, Psychedelic Ransom Notes thrives on harder, abrasive sounds coupled with poetic lyrics that make limpdick pop-rock bands of today cry like a bitch. While other bands take years to write a mediocre album, pretentiously secluding themselves in an 'inspiring' atmosphere, Nnmaddox cranks out classics in f***ing apartment in Queens, New York. He laughs at douchebags 'rockers' painstakingly agonizing over every pop, crackle, and hiss on a recording. Nnmaddox knows the value of spontaneity and the beauty of imperfection. Nnmaddox views his Top 40 peers as embarassing crybaby pussies who wouldn't know how to change a flat tire. Don't be fooled by his rail-thin exterior. This man is no crooning bitch. He'll take a motherf***a's head off if he gotsa. And you better f***ing believe he already has. He'll straight up hit you with a tire iron and steal your wallet. What Maddox accomplishes with Psychedelic Ransom Notes is a masterpiece that combines elements of world music with straight-forward kick-ass rock n roll. He throws a ballad or two in there for the bitches as well. He knows how to please a crowd. He don't play. He don't eat a whole lot, he's not exactly a 'nice guy,' but he'll make your dumb ass laugh, cry, dance, scream and puke. And he ain't afraid to ruffle feathers either. F***, he'll massacre a whole farm of chicken if he needs to. Unlike the pansy-ass CEO's who are determined to follow proven formulas that are certain to make millions, Nnmaddox will take chances on shit that might fall flat on it's f***in' face. He'll come out of left field while you're busy sucking Bono's ass, and put a crowbar throught your f***in' teeth. And he ain't tryin' to save the world either. He's not Sean Penn, or Brangelina, or the f***in' Beastie Boys. He's trying to blow it up. No socially aware 'We Are The World' songs here. Just straight up rock n' roll.

Menu At Least It Will Make A Good Story Blogger Idol – You Sucked Me In by Terri L. Spilman The 52/52 Project creator, Sherry Stanfa-Stanley washing down a few bugs while living outside of her comfort zone. I swore off blogger contests months ago. The pinnacle of my shame was when I nominated myself for a Circle of Moms most humorous blogger award. I could only muster up one shameless self-promotional Facebook status update begging my friends to vote me up the ladder to the status of top mommy jester. Who the hell was I kidding? Insert a bar from Carly Simon’s hit, “You’re So Vain.” And then, it happened. Blogger Idol. Sponsored by Little Birdie Social Media, Blogger Idol is an online blogging contest based on the premise of the television show, “American Idol”, where blogging hacks like me compete against each other for prizes and stuff. I follow last year’s winner Martini’s and Minivans on Facebook. She would be the Carrie Underwood of Blogger Idol. “Come on, it’s not too late.” “I never thought I’d win.” “Be in the Top 12.” I was sucked in – again. According to Sherry Stanfa-Stanley, it’s O.K. to do things out of your comfort zone. She’s the brilliant mind behind the 52/52 Project. Sherry is knocking off a list of 52 activities completely out of her comfort zone. Stuff like getting caught up in a drug bust with the local SWAT team, taking voice lessons, trying out for the reality television show “Survivor”, going camping with the likes of Ted Bundy in the adjacent tent and eating chocolate-covered bugs! So folks, I guess putting myself out there for a blogging contest isn’t all that bad. Why not? Quite frankly, I love to blog. I haven’t been blogging much lately because I’ve been writing articles for my local newspaper. I always thought the pinnacle of writing was getting a byline. Lois Lane, Pulitzer-prize winning stuff. However, a byline can’t replace the empowerment of blogging – the thrill of freestyle story telling and interacting with the world just by pressing the “Publish” button is just pure bliss. So, go like Blogger Idol on Facebook and tell them you’d like to see The Laughing Mom make an ass out of herself – again. It promises to be very entertaining. I entered too … And I just feel like it’s silly. I love blogging. I’m just not sure what made me enter. (A moment of brazen bravery? Insanity? Too much wine?) Honestly, I feel like I’m too new to this to have the stones to throw my hat into any ring. On the other hand, why not?! At a minimum it’s going to give me great reading material and feel a little more connected to the writers in the top 12. I agree with you. I loathe “vote for me” stuff, however, this just sounded like fun. Good luck! I don’t think experience matters at all. They are looking for public appeal. At the very least, we can have a good laugh about it!

John Goodman has had an up-and-down weight loss journey, but now he’s looking fitter than ever. The actor, 63, showed off his new, slimmer look at the Trumbo premiere in London Thursday night, giving his costars Bryan Cranston and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje some competition in the who-looks-best-in-his-suit department. Get push notifications with news, features and more. Goodman has been open with his weight struggle over the years, previously joking with PEOPLE, “It takes a lot of creative energy to sit on your ass and figure out what you’re going to eat next.” The 6’2″ actor admitted to David Letterman in 2011 that his weight tends to fluctuate and that he was “pushing 400” lbs. at his heaviest. Previously, the actor said he lost weight by cutting sugar and alcohol from his diet and working out six days a week.

The long arm of the Federal government has reached inside Marty Hahnes’ magic hat and pulled out a handful of bureaucratic idiocy. Hahne performs magic shows for children in southern Missouri under the name of Marty the Magician. For his big finale he pulls a rabbit out of a hat — a time-honored magic trick with little risk to the rabbit, magician or audience. In 2005, a U.S. Department of Agriculture inspector cornered him after a show. She asked to see his license. “License for?” Hahne asked. “The rabbit,” was the reply. To keep his rabbit in the magic act Hahne was told he had to purchase a $40 annual license, take the rabbit to the veterinarian and submit to surprise home inspections. And for a kicker, if Hahne planned to take the rabbit out of town for an extended period of time, he had to submit an itinerary to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. His rabbit travels with him in a small cage adorned with USDA-mandated stickers, indicating which end is up. But this year, the idiocy got worse. To keep his rabbit license, Hahne was told he had to submit a disaster plan covering what would happen with his rabbit in the event of every conceivable emergency: fire, flood, tornado, faulty air conditioning, ice storm, power failure. Luckily for Hahne, a professional disaster plan writer heard about his plight and offered to write a plan for his rabbit. It must be completed by July 29. As of last week, it was 28 pages long and growing. But it was still short, considering what the USDA requested it include, according to Kim Morgan, the professional who volunteered to write the plan. While Hahne, thanks to Morgan, is responding with a serious plan, some other magicians are responding to the requirement with all the seriousness it deserves. “I’ll take a piece of paper and put down, ‘Note: take rabbit with you when you leave.’ That’s my plan,” magician Gary Maurer said. The original law requiring the licensing dates back to 1966 and applied to laboratories that used animals in research. But the paper-shufflers in Washington, D.C., and the psychopathic elected class expanded the law with amendments and regulations so that the original four-page law grew so that there are now 14 pages just for rabbits. It grew exponentially under George W. Bush after Hurricane Katrina and now applies to all licensed exhibitors. And you think you live in a free country?

Q: Area of a recursive function What is the area of the region bounded by $y = f_n(x)$ and the $x$-axis as $n$ gets large? $f_0=1-|x|$ $f_n=1-|1-2f_{n-1}(x)|$ Assume the domain of $f$ to be the real numbers. By trying various values for $n$ and $x$ I got that $f_n(x) = 2^{n}\cdot f_0(x)$ By integrating this I got that the area is given by $2^{n-1}\cdot x\cdot (2-|x|)$. However, I was also told that the area is in fact $1$ as $n$ approaches infinity. The formula I came up with (guessed) seems to check out if I integrate $2^{n-1}\cdot f_0(x)$ between certain values and for a certain $n$ and compare it to manually expanding that certain $f_n$ and integrating it between the same values. My questions are: Is my formula wrong? How can we prove the area is 1? A: You must be integrating between -1 and 1; otherwise, the integral diverges. Within this region, $f_n$ is a periodic sawtooth. This is obvious by following the steps geometrically for any one of the teeth: $-2f_{n-1}$ doubles the height of $f_{n-1}$ and flips the graph over the x-axis, which is then raised by $1$. The absolute value creates a new "tooth", and then subtracting all that from $1$ flips everything over. The process converts each tooth into a pair of teeth of the same height but half the width, whence the new teeth have half the original area of the teeth they have replaced. Two of them occupy the original area. Therefore, by induction, the integrals of all the $f_n$ between -1 and 1 equal the integral of $f_0$, which is 1.

A growing black hole, called a quasar, can be seen at the center of a faraway galaxy in this artist's concept. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Quasars are supermassive black holes that live at the center of distant massive galaxies. They shine as the most luminous beacons in the sky across the entire electromagnetic spectrum by rapidly accreting matter into their gravitationally inescapable centers. New work from Carnegie's Hubble Fellow Yue Shen and Luis Ho of the Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics (KIAA) at Peking University solves a quasar mystery that astronomers have been puzzling over for 20 years. Their work, published in the September 11 issue of Nature, shows that most observed quasar phenomena can be unified with two simple quantities: one that describes how efficiently the hole is being fed, and the other that reflects the viewing orientation of the astronomer. Quasars display a broad range of outward appearances when viewed by astronomers, reflecting the diversity in the conditions of the regions close to their centers. But despite this variety, quasars have a surprising amount of regularity in their quantifiable physical properties, which follow well-defined trends (referred to as the "main sequence" of quasars) discovered more than 20 years ago. Shen and Ho solved a two-decade puzzle in quasar research: What unifies these properties into this main sequence? Using the largest and most-homogeneous sample to date of over 20,000 quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, combined with several novel statistical tests, Shen and Ho were able to demonstrate that one particular property related to the accretion of the hole, called the Eddington ratio, is the driving force behind the so-called main sequence. The Eddington ratio describes the efficiency of matter fueling the black hole, the competition between the gravitational force pulling matter inward and the luminosity driving radiation outward. This push and pull between gravity and luminosity has long been suspected to be the primary driver behind the so-called main sequence, and their work at long last confirms this hypothesis. Of additional importance, they found that the orientation of an astronomer's line-of-sight when looking down into the black hole's inner region plays a significant role in the observation of the fast-moving gas innermost to the hole, which produces the broad emission lines in quasar spectra. This changes scientists' understanding of the geometry of the line-emitting region closest to the black hole, a place called the broad-line region: the gas is distributed in a flattened, pancake-like configuration. Going forward, this will help astronomers improve their measurements of black hole masses for quasars. New work solves a quasar mystery that astronomers have been puzzling over for 20 years. It shows that most observed quasar phenomena can be unified with two simple quantities: one that describes how efficiently the hole is being fed, and the other that reflects the viewing orientation of the astronomer. This graph shows the distribution of about 20,000 luminous Sloan Digital Sky Survey quasars in the two-dimensional space of broad line width versus FeII strength, color-coded by the strength of the narrow [OIII] line emission. The strong horizontal trend is the main sequence of quasars driven by the efficiency of the black hole accretion, while the vertical spread of broad line width is largely due to our viewing angle to the inner region of the quasar. Credit: Yue Shen "Our findings have profound implications for quasar research. This simple unification scheme presents a pathway to better understand how supermassive black holes accrete matter and interplay with their environments," Shen said. "And better black hole mass measurements will benefit a variety of applications in understanding the cosmic growth of supermassive black holes and their place in galaxy formation," Ho added.

The Finnish case: community prevention in a time of rapid change in national and international trade. This article looks at the present Finnish situation in planning and development of community-level prevention of alcohol and drug problems, and the experiences gained so far. Results from the first extensive evaluated project of this kind in Finland, the Lahti Project, and the program and evaluation plans for a new project in the Helsinki metropolitan area are also described. It is argued that in the present Finnish context there is need for detailed theoretical and well-measured evaluation on why the results of community-based prevention are or are not achieved.

"_" "_" "Like all good citizens," "Anton has spyware detection on his cellphone, so it shut off immediately." " You checked with the Russian Ambassador?" " Of course!" "He claims that his crack security team has scoured every inch of the Embassy... no Missy." " He's lying." " Probably, but the only way we could prove it would be to search the Embassy ourselves, and that would require..." "It would require an invitation from the lying Russian Ambassador, and we might as well ask for the keys to the Kremlin while we're at it." "Clearly, the only real hope for saving my daughter in time is to hand over Olga." "Not your only hope, sir." " Edward..." " Which we can never do." "listen, you do not give up hope." "You never give up hope." "Come on, sir." "You know that everyone in this room will do whatever is in their power to get Missy back." "We're in play." "Madam Vice President." "You broke Truman's record for shortest training period." "Lucky me." "Olga Petrovka is..." "Well, you already know that." "Our job is to be ready when you are, ma'am." "A young girl's life is at stake, and I have no idea what I'm doing." "Like Malcolm said, we're gonna walk you through this whole thing." "Well, we better run, because Missy Stanton is dead in two hours." "Gentlemen, what have we got?" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help, help!" "Shut up!" "You've done missions like this before." "Yes, ma'am." "And they've been successful?" "Not always, ma'am." "Percentage of a positive outcome?" "We have a 30%, 35% chance at this." "20% tops." "So what would you advise?" "I'm afraid we can't answer that question, ma'am." "I get it." "This is my job." "It's my decision to make... alone." "John get the girl." "Yes, ma'am." "Shut up." "Shh, shh." "Really?" "Is he wearing some kind of body camera or something?" "Yes, ma'am." "It's a small button." "The all-seeing eye." "Who are you?" "I'm a friend of Missy Stanton's." "Check it out." "It's a million bucks." "I'm worth quite a bit more." "Oh, I love this part." "Like watching a bug hit a speeding windshield." "It's not for you." "See, I brought it for your boy." "He works for me now." "That's my suit." "That's my Rolex!" "You son of a bitch!" "You're not gonna need it anymore, Anton." "I will double his offer." "_" "_" "My name... is Lev." "He is pissed." "Get yourself dressed." "You're my invitation to the Russian Embassy." "John, there's something on his shoes." "What is it with women and shoes?" "It says a lot about who you are and where you've been." "Looks like they're covered in concrete dust and mud." "What's Markov's business in the States?" "Looks like mostly commercial real estate, business parks, hotels." "Oh, wait a minute." "We were wrong." "They didn't take Missy to the Russian Embassy... not the existing one." "She's being held at the future Embassy site." "Unfortunately, completed or not, the Russian construction site still enjoys diplomatic protection." "So..." "so what do we do?" "Means we go ugly." "What does that mean?" "Judicious disregard for accepted legal formalities." "Check cell seven..." "Petrovka." "Yes, yes, yes?" "!" "Just get Olga!" "Where... where's Olga?" "Did you find her?" "We don't know, sir." "I'll look better in black." "Strip." "Ah!" "Ha ha!" "Yeah!" "_" "Good to see you again." "Shut the door." "_" "_" "_" "_" "Don't." "Stupid." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." " You getting the feed, Malcolm?" " Got it." "I just downloaded a back door into their security system." "We own it now." "Turning off all recording." "Erasing their hard drive." "You never existed, John." "_" "Oh, good girl, good girl!" "What's going on?" "Your father doesn't love you." "Shh." "All right, shh, shh." "I'm a friend." "Okay?" "You're okay." "Take a deep breath." "We're gonna get you home." "She's gonna need a ride." "John, I am sending an encrypted E-mail to St. Mary's Hospital." "Their location is two clicks from your position." "Estimated time of arrival, three minutes." "I say again, E.T.A..." "three mikes." " How copy?" " E.T.A... three Mikes, copy that." "Where am I headed, Malcolm?" "Elevator near the northeast corner." "Go!" "Duck in there, duck in there!" "What are you doing?" " Improvising." " Seriously?" "Well, plan "B" is dying." "Come on." "Hold on!" "Holy Toledo!" "Aah!" "Okay, you're all right." "Good job." "Go to the door..." "to the left." "Almost there, almost there." "Careful." "You did good." "See that ambulance?" "That's for you." "You run to that." "What about you?" "Forget me." "Forget you?" "Yeah." "Go." "John!" "There's someone in the elevator." "John, Olga is in the elevator." "There's an inbound helo, coming, no doubt, to pick her up." "Of course there is." "You know, Olga... you raise the definition of "high maintenance"" "to a whole new level." "And yet here you are." "No." "No, no." "Okay, fine." "We try it your way." "All right." "Now my way!" "You know, Olga," "I think that we need to take a break and hurt other people for a while." "Welcome to command." "Missy's safe." "Olga's back in her cage at the FBI." "We did okay." "You know, we got to savor every victory, big and small." "That's the good part." "Yeah." "The man who saved you, honey?" "Did you get a good look at him?" "No." "Nicolas, darling." "What's the next plan to get me out?" "You're holding it." " Yeah?" " Volker's here."

High-availability (HA) cluster is a system of multiple network devices, such as computers, working together to provide network resources for one or more client nodes in a communication network, and operates through redundancy processing to provide uninterrupted server application. Each computer functioning as a network device of an HA cluster may be regarded as a physical host node. When a physical host node is unavailable or cannot handle a client's request for other reasons, the request will be forwarded to another available physical host node in the cluster without any intervention from the client—the cluster system performs the location of available resources and completes the forwarding of the request automatically without user input. In an HA cluster environments (such as Heartbeat- or Corosync-based cluster system), as resources are shared, there is a need to protect the security and consistency of the shared data from a malfunctioning physical host node to prevent data corruptions or a system crash. For example, a cluster manager may fence abnormal physical nodes or physical nodes which have become inactive in order to prevent access to shared resources by those nodes.

" Hello?" " Hello." " Good morning, boys, it's Lloyd." " Morning, Lloyd." "Lloyd, listen." "I don't think Vince is up yet, but we're still on for Ari, right?" "Absolutely, he'll meet you at noon." "And sorry to bother you, E, but I'm actually calling for Johnny." "Oh, okay." "It looks like you're gonna have to get used to two superstars living in the house now, E." "Yeah." "All right, later." " What's up, Lloyd?" " All good things, Johnny." "Brett Ratner saw your new TV show and he wants to offer you a part in his new movie." "An offer?" "No audition?" "You're kidding." "I'm not kidding!" "Sound good?" "Sounds amazing." "Thanks, Lloyd." ""Rush Hour 3," huh, Johnny?" "That is sweet." "Yeah, could be." "Brett wants me to come up to Casa del Ratner" " to discuss the role." " Nice, Drama." "What is it?" "I don't know, but I'm gonna tell him straight up, it better be something I can sink my teeth into 'cause Johnny Drama don't shine shoes no more." "Oh, someone's getting a little cocky." "No cockiness here, Turtle, just the confidence that gainful employment can give a man." "Amazing Turtle's been able to stay confident this long without a job, huh?" "Ha-ha, I knew my life would suck if Drama got a career before I did." "Maybe your life wouldn't suck so much if you called that girl Kelly." "I did call her." "What are you talking about, Vince?" "I'm seeing her today." "She's got the house all to herself." "And you didn't tell us?" "What, are you trying to play it cool, Turtle?" "Well, unlike him, I don't like to brag about my accomplishments." "You know what?" "Speaking of which, Johnny, you may not wanna do too much bragging at your day job." "People tend to get jealous." "Good tip, bro." "TV people are so bitter." " I'm out!" " Hey, congrats!" "Okay, so now everyone has so much excitement, what are we gonna do?" "Ari's got a money guy who says he's dying to fund "Medellin"." " Do you believe him?" " Do I ever?" "So what, this guy's a prince, Ari?" "A prince, an arms dealer, a coke dealer, who knows?" "What I do know is that 60 million to him is like lunch at the Ivy to you and me." "That's me and Vince, not you and me, E." " Jesus." " It's impressive, huh?" "Is that the Mrs. Prince?" "Nika Marx..." "ex-Ukrainian soap star." "I think she's the brains of the operation." "Ari!" "Ari!" "Nika, how are you?" "How do I look?" "You know Vinny Chase?" "My boy." " Hello, Vince." " Hello." " Big fan." " Thank you." "It's very nice to meet you." " My wife Nika." " Big fan as well." "Thanks." "Oh, Vinny's manager, Eric Murphy." " Eric Murphy." " Mm?" "You have very tiny hands." "Come come, I prepared a feast on the veranda, huh?" "Just imagine the one sheet... my face sandwiched between Tucker and Chan." "Like Joe Pesci in "Lethal 3"?" "Only a whole lot prettier." "Damn, that is so cool, Drama." "You know, "Rush Hour" was the first Jackie Chan movie I ever saw." "Since then I've seen them all." "And Chris Tucker?" "Man, I would kill to be in that movie." "Yeah, who wouldn't, bro?" "I waited a long time for an op like this." "Take it from me, Tommy..." "you pay your dues, keep the faith, maybe your day will come also." "You think?" "Who knows?" "The truth is this business is a fucking crap shoot." "Hey, everybody, got some bad news..." "network brass is running late." " How late?" " It could be a few hours." "But, JJ, I've got my thing." " What thing?" " You know, my thing." "Oh, right, you've got your big fuck-my-TV-show-I've-got-a-movie-offer" "I-gotta-sit-down-with-the-hotshot- director thing." "Too bad you gotta miss it." "James!" "Aw, just kidding!" "Hey, we're all thrilled for you, Drama." "Congrats." "Oh, you didn't have to do that." "Don't get too cozy with your new friends, we've got a night shoot." "Don't worry, JJ." "I'll be there." "I'm not gonna pull a Clooney... not yet." " Hey." " Hi." " So uh, nobody's home?" " Nope." "Oh, shit." "I thought you guys were going to the Aquarium." "We got kicked out, baby." "Your brothers threw a snow cone at a sea otter." " Who's the white boy, Kelly?" " Yeah, Kelly?" "Who's the white boy?" "Shut the hell up and get in the house." "You're in enough trouble already." "What's going on here?" " Nothing." " We were just gonna hang out." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "So let's hang out." "What do you think of Sylvester Stallone as Pablo Escobar's father, huh?" "Why are you laughing?" "What do you guys think, huh?" "If he survives "Rocky 6" without brain damage, it's something to consider." "Sylvester Stallone just doesn't feel right, Yair." " But he sells foreign." " And if he does it shirtless, just imagine how many women will come to see this movie." "She's making fun of me." "Hey, but did Ari explain to you how I make my money?" " Oh, no." " May I please speak?" "Hmm." "I make my money abroad, the States are just a bonus for me." "And you... you may laugh at Sly Stallone, but in France he makes me $5 million." " How much does Vince make you?" " Not much." "Yeah." "Hey, unless you are in your Aquaman suit, Vince... you know, flippity floppity... the rest of the world does not really know who you are." " The world will know soon enough." " They will," " if we make this movie right." " We wanna make it right." "Boom, let's call the lawyers and get the ink flowing." "Hey hey, settle down, Ari." "Now, do you understand my position?" "Yes, I do, but just so you understand ours, we bought this project so we can make it the way we see it." "So you're saying no to Stallone, huh?" "No no, he's not saying no." "Vinny, he..." "you know, we're just talking." "Actually, I am saying no, Ari... respectfully, of course." "I love your commitment to your vision, Vincent, and I say no to my husband quite often." "We will find a way to make this movie" " and we will make it right." " We shall see, huh?" "Until then, cheers, huh?" " Perfect." "Salud, I'chaim!" " Salud." "Prost." "Hello, ladies..." "Johnny Chase, official cast member, "Rush Hour 3"." "Nice." "Oh, Brett, I can get used to this." "Hi, I'm Mr. Ratner's assistant." "Can I help you?" "Johnny Chase, here to see Brett." "Yes, Mr. Chase from "The Five Towns"." "Brett's excited to meet you." "He's finishing a photo shoot." "Let me tell him you're here, okay?" "Hey, Lana?" " Yeah?" " Please give Mr. Chase a neck massage" " and get him a drink." " Sure." "Tell Brett Johnny Chase has arrived." "In more ways than one." "Marissa, you have the best ass in the world." "Stick it out a little, great." "Excellent." "Ooh, put your leg up on the motorcycle." " Brett." " Love it." "I got it." " Johnny Chase is here." " Where is he?" "Do me a favor." "Why are there Krispy Kreme doughnuts here?" "I don't understand." "These are supermodels, not teamsters." "Where is he?" "He's the guy right there, getting a drink." " That's not him." " It isn't?" "Are you a fucking idiot?" "That's not him." "Give me the camera." "Good one, Lindsey." "Very funny." "Open up." "I knew you were lying." "Yeah. "We're just friends"." "Yeah, right." "You're just using us to suck up to our mom." "What?" "Yeah, you're just a dirty, horny sex man" " like all the others." " Nasty man." "Okay, he's out." "You kids got yourselves an hour or so." " Go have some fun." " You sure?" "Should I not be?" "Come on, Turtle, before you put your foot in your mouth." " Thank you so much." " Mm-hmm." "A simple thank you is all I'm looking for..." "Russian, Hebrew, Farsi, I don't care." "Anything'll suffice." "Thank you for what, Ari?" "He said he'd think about it." "That just meant he's not gonna let his wife make him look like a little bitch." " He's in, trust me." " What do you think, Vin?" "I think the wife freaked me out." " Yeah." "She was a little cold, no?" " A little warm actually." "What do you mean, Vinny?" "Did you not see the way she was looking at me?" "Looking at you?" "She was wearing sunglasses." "Still looking." "Believe me..." "it was very uncomfortable." " He thinks everyone wants to fuck him." " Everyone does, no?" "Although I don't know what you're talking about." "Me either." "Hey, nobody would be happier than me if you two were right... trust me." "I don't understand, Lloyd." "It's like you're speaking in a foreign tongue." "They misread the credits, Johnny." "It was a simple mistake." " These things happen." " Not to me, not anymore." " I'm on a hit TV show now." " Johnny, don't get crazy." "They said the part is for a 17-year-old." "They meant to offer it to your little brother on the show." "Tommy?" "Tommy's gonna be in "Rush Hour 3" and I'm not?" " Jesus Christ." " Be happy for him, Drama... karma." " Fuck karma, I don't need karma." " What do you need, Johnny?" "I need to be in "Rush Hour 3"." "Okay, sweetie, I'm ready to press on." " Uh, excuse me, Mr. Chase." " Yes?" " Was that your agent?" " It was." "He told you about the mistake?" " He did." " So... uh, why... why are you still here?" "Because I didn't make the mistake." "No, Mr. Chase, you didn't." "I did." "I screwed up and misread the credits." "I'm..." "I'm terribly sorry." "Well, sorry ain't gonna cut it, pal." "Let me tell you something my father told me..." ""The best thing to do with mistakes is to not make them"." "But since you did, the least you can is fix it." "Ho... how would you like me to fix it?" " Find me a part in "Rush Hour 3"." " Mr. Chase, I..." "You can tell Brett or whoever your skipper is that I'm not leaving here until you do." "Okay." "Check, please." "Thank you." " Turtle, I'm still eating." " It's been an hour already." "Please stop worrying about my dad." "His bark is worse than his bite, trust me." "Besides, he'd only really be mad if he thought you were trying to get into his little girl's pants." "And that's not what you're trying to do, right?" "Of course not, you're wearing a skirt." "Just so you know, it's gonna take a long time to get into whatever I'm wearing." "You have to earn it." "How?" "You can start by taking off your hat." "Wow, I must really like you." "You have hat head." " That's great." " No, it's cute." " Really?" " Really." "This is just like when you thought Mrs. Rodrigo wanted" " to fuck you in 10th grade." " Yes, it's exactly like that" " because you thought she didn't." " Did you fuck Mrs. Rodrigo?" "Hand jobs in the Spanish lab every Tuesday." "You never told me that." "I'm very quiet about these things." " What, are you jealous?" " A little... she was hot." "Still is... she calls me every once in a while for phone sex." "Oh, look at this..." "Nika Marx calling my cell phone and not yours." "She doesn't have my number." "What are you talking about?" "I saw you give it to her." "No, I gave her the one-digit-off move." "Oh, that's a girl move." "It's the whoever's-being- treated-like-meat move." " Hello." " Eric, it's Nika." " Hey, how are you?" " Is Vince there?" "I have some excellent news and I'd like to tell it to him personally." "Sure, hold on." "She wants to talk to you." "She's got excellent news." "Take it." "Hello, Nika, how are you?" "I apologize for calling your partner, Vincent, but I somehow took your number down incorrectly." "No worries..." "I never answer my phone, anyway." "We want to make this movie, Vincent." "Fantastic." "Mmm, does that excite you?" "Yes, it does, very much so." "They're in." "I just have one small concern..." "creatively." "I'd like you to meet me at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in an hour and we'll discuss." " Is this okay?" " Sure." " Oh, one more thing, Vincent..." " Yes, Nika?" "Come alone." "Ciao." "Don't look now, honey, but you're about to get gammoned." "Bring it on, TV star." "Ooh, low blow." "But not a TV star after today..." "hopefully." "Uh, Johnny, can I have a word with you a sec?" "Oh, hey, Brett." "Uh, excuse me, ladies." "The big guy needs a word." "Brett, there was an extra suit in the pool house." " I hope you don't mind." " My assistant said you won't leave." "Why would I wanna leave a paradise like this?" "Such a beautiful home you have..." "and so tastefully done, Brett." "Really, a class look you've got going here." "What's wrong with you?" "Are you retarded or something?" "Just following in your footsteps, Brett." " My footsteps?" " Yup." "You talked your way into NYU film school at 16 with a C average, you got Spielberg to give you cash to direct your first student film." "You're a man who won't take no for an answer." "You know what, Brett?" "Neither will I." " Scott." " You want me to call the cops?" "Dry him off, bring him up to the house." "And no wet feet." "Scott, you wanna get me a towel?" "Why are you walking so fast?" "Come on, you look like an athlete... keep up." "You really wanna get me home fast, it's not the walk to the car that matters," " it's the drive home." " What does that mean?" " Means you drive slow." " Oh yeah, right." "Give me the keys." "All right." "Let's see what you got, hotshot." "Thank you." "You're out of your mind." "I haven't even opened her up yet." "You're doing 106." " You nervous?" " No." " 110." " All right, maybe a little." "I don't know why you want me to go with you." "Even if she does wanna fuck you, it's a hotel bar." " What could she possibly do?" " Convince me." "You know I have a thing for Eastern-bloc women." "Yeah." "Just pretend like you didn't understand her." " I'll tell her the phone cut out." " There she is." "Hey, Nika." "How are you?" "What is the meaning of this?" " Uh, what's that?" " I asked you to come alone." " Oh..." " So why you bring the little man?" "Well... it's a creative meeting, and as a producer, I just thought I should..." "Creative meeting is something I do alone with my actors." "It gives me a chance to speak with them free of distractions of producers who may have their own agenda." "We're all on the same page here, Nika." "We will be on the same page when you leave." "You can pick Vince up in two hours." "That should be plenty of time." "I-I'd really like to stay." "I won't say anything." " Could be like a babysitter." " Why do we need a babysitter?" "You know, just to make sure everything stays appropriate." "What is it you thought was going to happen here, Vincent?" "Nothing, I just..." " Nothing." "Nika..." " I'm talking to Vincent." "As far as I am concerned, you're not even here." "You think I was trying to seduce you." "Is this why you bring your little chaperone... for protection?" "Because you assume I want to fuck?" "You Americans are such conceited, self-absorbed pigs." "You have made a terrible mistake." "Maybe she didn't wanna fuck." "I told everyone I work with and everyone in my family that I'm doing this movie." "Now what am I supposed to tell them when they see the kid brother from my show dropping "F" bombs with Chris Tucker?" "I feel for you, I do, but I've got nothing in this movie for you." "The only parts I got are French." "Je parle francais." "I speak it, Brett." " John..." " I'll do it for free!" " Johnny..." " I'll pay you." " Jesus Christ." " All right, seriously." "What if I fly myself out, put myself up, you give me a little something;" "if I don't deliver, you cut it." "Or cut it anyway." "As long as I'm on the call sheet and listed on IMDB," " we're all good." " You're telling me you're gonna spend 20 grand to go to Paris for a part that I might end up cutting?" "Such is my passion for movies." "Congrats." "You can play the bus driver on the Champs-Elysees." "Yes!" "Ici venez, frere!" "That's French for "Come here, bro"." "All right, all right." "You good?" " Oh, yeah." " You'll leave?" "Yeah, I'll leave." "Actually, I need you to let me do one more thing." "What the fuck did you guys do?" " Nothing, really." " We just showed up at the bar and she inferred a lot from that without any help from us." "Was she right?" "Was her inference right?" "She can't prove that." "Yair Marx is not a guy you want angry with you." " Yair Marx is on the phone." " Jesus Christ." "Yair, we making a movie or not?" "You heard about Vincent and Nika's creative meeting?" "Oh, no, not yet." "I just got out of a meeting myself and I just jumped in to take your call." "It went very well." "We want to make this movie." "We want to have you all to the house tonight for a check-signing dinner celebration." " Sounds great." " 8:00 p.m., Ari." "Ciao." "That was an odd turn." "Do you think he's setting us up?" "For what?" "What do you think, the guy's a killer?" "He's not a killer, is he, Ari?" "I don't know what he is, Vince." "He could be Mossad, he could be Hezbollah..." "neither would surprise me." "Fuck him then." "We don't need to get involved with a guy like that." "Oh, E, yes we do." "We just sold the house." "We don't even have a place to live." "We need somebody to pay for this movie and this guy's gonna do it... trust me!" "So what else do I gotta do?" "Well, you'd have to tell me your real name." "What?" "Do you think I'd have sex with someone saying, "Oh, Turtle"?" "Daddy, Kelly's jerking off another boy in the car!" "What are you talking about jerking off?" "We're just kissing!" "And what does he mean by "another" one?" " I'd better go." " Turtle!" "Yeah, me too!" "I'll call you." " Oh, there he is." " Hey." " The movie star." " How'd it go, Johnny?" "How do you think it went?" "I went, I saw," " I conquered." " Nice." "Eh, so nice in fact, I had time to look out for one of our own." "Hey, Tommy, can I talk to you for a second?" " I dropped your name to Brett." " Really?" "Yeah, and Chris and Jackie too." "Anyway, you might wanna keep your cell phone on, 'cause we might be traveling to Paris together." "Holy shit!" "Are you serious?" "Oh, I don't..." "I don't even know what to say." "I do." "Say if you get it, the plane tickets are on you." "Absolutely." "I owe you, Drama." "You do indeed, Tommy." "My chef is the best in the world." "You know, I stole him from Le Cirque." "You tell anyone, Yair, or is there still an amber alert out on the guy?" " Yes, cute, Ari." " Offer the dessert, already." "William!" "Voila, bring the dessert, huh?" "No no no no." "No dessert for me." "I'm full." "Yeah, me too, I'm completely stuffed." "Yeah, you don't get this figure by eating desserts." "You gentlemen will want this, huh?" "Wow." "Rich." "Help yourself, Vincent." " "Medellin," huh?" " "Medellin"!" " "Medellin," yeah!" " All right." "Cheers." "Thank you so much, really." "Thank you, Nika." "I'll be upstairs." "She hasn't been feeling well, huh?" "Come, let us take our drinks out in the garden, huh?" "The view is spectacular, huh?" "Eh, hang back with me for a moment, Vince." " I'd like to speak with you." " Sure." "What's up?" "You are excited to make this movie, yes?" "I can't tell you how appreciative I am." "Listen." "I know what happened today..." " with my wife." " You know?" "Mmm." " I feel terrible." " Hey hey, imagine how terrible I felt to see this beautiful woman come home heartbroken and in tears." "You know, in 1990, she was voted Eastern Europe's most beautiful..." " over Paulina Porizkova." " I'm sorry." "Yeah, you need to apologize..." "not to me, but to her." "Yeah, no problem." "Good." "She's upstairs waiting for you... in the bedroom." "Are... are you serious?" "Vincent, I never joke about my wife's happiness." "What she wants, I get for her." "Now if you want this check to clear, you will go upstairs and you will fuck my wife like the superstar you are while I stay down here and play billiards with your friends, huh?" "Ari, those are my Cubans!"

SIGNAL Smoke Detector Signal is a smoke detector by Matthew Jobson with a few simple, but interesting twists. When the batteries run out, the lid opens to display the brightly colored housing, this visually alerts people of the need to change batteries. By including glow in the dark arrows and outer body, the designer is trying to involve children in the process of fire safety education. There is only one State in Australia at the moment that has laws requiring that new homes, apartments, buildings or new renovations require that you fit a mains powered smoke detector. That State is Adelaide. Now, I have no idea about the rest of the world, but to be honest, it really doesn’t matter. How many existing, old homes and buildings are there in the world that these new laws WON’T apply to? Now I personally think it’s great to have this sort of legislation put in place for the future, but the MAJOR FLAW and an issue I feel very strongly about is.. What can we do now? What about everyone else, who isn’t building a new home or conducting major renovations? What happens to them? Are they expected to suffer? We designers are always designing for the future, something so fantastic and life changing that in reality, only the smallest quantity of the population could ever afford it or have access to it. What’s the point in all these wonderful new designs if the average person doesn’t have access to it? I agree that mains powered smoke detectors that come supplied with battery back up (a necessity if there is a power outage.. and actually it’s a requirement to have battery back up) are a much better solution, but they are 10x the price and your supposed to get a qualified electrician to install them. Whilst the legalisation will take years before the entire world is fitted with mains powered smoke detectors, my concept is here now, it’s cheap, anyone can install it, and it might save a life or at the very least, help to warn consumers of the dangers of flat batteries in their existing battery powered smoke detectors. interestingly enough, when I bought a few smoke detectors to pull apart, of the 20 or so in the hardware store, only 1 was mains powered, and just as a funny aside, when I went to buy a couple of extra 9v batteries to run tests on my concept, there were warning labels on both the Duracell and Energiser 9v battery packs saying “don’t forget to change your smoke alarm batteries”. lol This is a problem for the here and now, and you might want to open your eyes to the sheer quantity of people who aren’t affected by this legalisation (and the places in the world where there currently is no legalisation.. eg.. the city i am living in right now) I’m sorry if this comes off as rude, that’s not my intention. I just feel very strongly about this, and as a designer I feel it’s my responsibility to create designs that are realistic in terms of technology, usability, understandability and also marketability. Love your passion, altitude and your sense of responsibility. We need more designers who are like yourself that has vision, drive and a thick skin because truth of the matter is, most design you come up with will get critiqued heavily. I was pretty famous at my Uni for shooting down my own work, and to me, this is important, because when everything is said and done, Design must win and people must benefit from it. They can’t benefit from it if they can’t afford it, or they don’t know about it, or if something else cheaper or cooler looking grabs their attention before they get a chance to look at your “better” product. Yes the annoying noises are still the primary warning system, the visual is secondary, for cases where your away from the device for a long time (holiday) or people who have hearing difficulties, and even for those of us who are lazy enough to ignore it (gives u a second chance lol) I can’t tell you how many times my stupid smoke alarm has gone off at 3am with the low battery warning, and having one in every other room and having them beep once every 3 minutes makes it hard to figure out which one it is when you’re already groggy and just want that darn chirping noise to stop. This is such a genius idea… I want one. Now! Are these available for purchase anywhere yet? We are new started Swedish company that works for instance with web commerce and sale of designer fire products outwards to other firms and individuals, likewise restaurants and for home use. We have a great interest in your SIGNAL Smoke Detector, and wonder what it will cost to re-sell your product on the Swedish market? Our idea is to start buying one bye one of your smoke detector depending on the volume of orders we receive from our customers, this is because we currently don’t have any stock store to storing our products yet. And as we mostly work with web-based direct sales, this way is the most reasonable. We would be grateful if you could send Us a purchase price including vat for the product to Us, the dimension of the product and Product high-resolution Pictures?

Factors predicting survival in peripheral T-cell lymphoma in the USA: a population-based analysis of 8802 patients in the modern era. Current prognostic models for peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) have multiple limitations, and questions exist regarding applicability to current patients. We utilized the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER)-18 database to evaluate factors affecting overall survival (OS) of PTCL in the modern era and identified 8802 patients between 2000-2010. Most subtypes of PTCL increased in incidence during the study period. In univariate analyses, age >55 years, black race, advanced stage, absence of extra-nodal disease, omission of radiation therapy (RT) and high-risk histology each predicted inferior OS (P < 0·0001). Multivariate analysis (MVA) demonstrated that hepatosplenic, enteropathy-associated and extra-nodal Natural Killer/T cell histologies, each had hazard ratios >1·5 (P ≤ 0·0001) for death. Further, age ≥55 years, black race and advanced stage maintained their significance in the MVA (P < 0·0001 each). Based on the significant factors, a prognostic model was constructed and subsequently validated in an independent cohort. The new model incorporated age, stage, histology and race, with an OS ranging from 9 months (highest risk group) to 120 months (lowest risk group). In summary, this is the largest study of PTCL patients in the modern era that provides risk stratification utilizing a new prognostic model that can be incorporated into future prospective clinical trials.

Cardiovascular Events Triggered By Angry Outbursts In other words blowing a gasket due to uncontrolled anger, road rage for example, can be the trigger for a fatal heart attack or stroke, especially in those with diagnosed or underlying heart disease. Many of us have been victims of uncontrollable anger, rage, when some inconsiderate driver either drives to slow or passes us and cuts us off only to take the next exit 200 feet up the freeway. In fact … Most of us have seen shows on TV depicting some poor devil falling face first into his bowl of chili after he imploded over some insult or other occurrence. When we see it on the idiot tube we may laugh or chuckle but if it happens to us in real life it is certainly anything but a laughing matter and … Rage induced medical emergencies happen and they happen more than many of us even the medical community itself suspects. It’s interesting to note that researchers now report that intense road rage or other anger based outburst nearly quadruples the risk of stroke. Rage can also increase the risk of heart attack almost FIVE times normal[1]. “Based on the totality of the evidence, there is a higher risk of MI, ACS, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, and arrhythmia in the two hours following outbursts of anger,” Dr Elizabeth Mostofsky (Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA). “If clinicians ask patients about their usual levels of anger and find that it is relatively high, they may want to consider suggesting either psychosocial or pharmacologic interventions,” senior author Dr Murray Mittleman (Harvard School of Public Health) said in a statement. Personally I find this information fascinating as well as a little disconcerting since I have a tendency to piss people off. I wouldn’t want to be the underlying reason someone dropped dead. They also went on to say that beta-blockers, paroxetine, other serotonin-specific reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and psychosocial interventions may be helpful to “sever the link between anger episodes and cardiovascular events,” but this all speculation that remains to be determined in future studies. Anger and Acute Cardiovascular Events Previous small studies indicated that angry outbursts were indeed suspect for an increased risk of cardiovascular events however another recently published study of nearly 4000 patients showed a 2.4 times increased risk of heart attack within 2 hours of an angry outburst[2]. With the previous work tucked inside their arsenal of information they continued to search for more evidence of cardiovascular events following episodes of anger or rage. Doing so revealed nine case-crossover studies. In each the patient was his or her own control. These studies inspected the effect of anger upon heart attack and acute coronary syndrome (four studies), ischemic stroke (two), ruptured intracranial aneurysm (one) and ventricular arrhythmias (two). Seven of the studies were published between 1995 and 2013. Two others were unpublished. The studies were conducted in the US, Sweden, Israel, England and the Netherlands. “The results should not be assumed to indicate the true causal effect of anger episodes on cardiovascular events,” the researchers cautioned however … The studies did indicate evidence that a higher risk of cardiovascular events indeed does exist following outbursts of anger or rage. The risk of an event following an episode of rage was much higher among individuals who had a high baseline Framingham 10-year cardiovascular disease risk score and the history of frequent angry outbursts. What’s more … The risk is cumulative. “With increasing frequency of anger episodes . . . transient effects may accumulate, leading to a larger clinical impact,” according to the researchers. They went on to suggest that since psychological stress increases heart rate, blood pressure and vascular resistance there may be a direct linking mechanism between anger and cardiovascular events. Healing The Hostile Heart “While the long-term link between chronic mental stress, anxiety, depression, and hostility and adverse cardiovascular events has been well established, it has been more difficult to determine the short-term risk of an acute outburst of anger,” Drs Suzanne Arnold, John Spertus (University of Missouri, Kansas City), and Dr Brahmajee Nallamothu (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor) write in an accompanying editorial[3]. The review by Mostofsky and colleagues found a consistent link between anger and acute CHD events, as the authors acknowledge yet … The combined risk estimates may or may not be completely reliable due to the small number of studies. If one duck dies from a hunters 12 gauge blast that certainly doesn’t mean all 12 gauge blasts are lethal to ducks right? It takes thousands of shot dead ducks for many people to get the picture. “How to prevent these dangerous episodes,” the editorialists claim to be the real critical question to ask. SSRI’s used to reduce mental stress didn’t perform when it came to reducing cardiovascular mortality after an MI, they noted. “Given the lessons we have learned from trying to treat depression after MI, treating anger in isolation is unlikely to be impactful,” they caution. “Instead, a broader and more comprehensive approach to treating acute and chronic mental stress and its associated psychological stressors is likely to be needed to heal a hostile heart,” they conclude. The researchers and editorialists report no conflict of interest. The study was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health.

Q: For Loop Batch Copy Raster TIFF to BMP in ArcMap I need to convert TIFFs to BMPs using CopyRaster from ascii to raster output TIFFs. I am not sure how to define the "outRaster" so that it will convert the rasters to BMP.

166 Pa. Superior Ct. 374 (1950) Paci et al. v. Shipley et al., Appellants. Superior Court of Pennsylvania. Argued November 15, 1949. March 14, 1950. *375 Before RHODES, P.J., RENO, DITHRICH, ROSS and FINE, JJ. (HIRT and ARNOLD, JJ., absent.) Challen W. Waychoff, with him Waychoff, Maxwell & Waychoff, for appellants. John I. Hook, Jr., with him Scott & Hook, for appellees. OPINION BY FINE, J.: This is an appeal by certain owners of land contiguous to a portion of an unnamed alley from the decree of the court below restraining them from interfering with the lawful use of said alley by appellees, other owners of land over which the remaining portion of the alley in question exists, and requiring them, appellants, to remove obstructions which they had placed across said alley. Buckeye Coal Company, prior to 1917, purchased several large tracts of undeveloped land situate in Cumberland Township, Greene County, and in 1923, constructed houses thereon which were leased to employes of the company. The town thus created was named Nemacolin. The alley in question, approximately 250 feet in length, was laid out by the company in 1923 and *376 has been used continuously since that time. The route of the alley was from Dewey Lane to Grant Lane, crossing lots 351, 352, 353, 354, 345, 346, 347. It has been surfaced with "red dog" for many years. The company entered into an agreement in 1946 with Richard L. Baily whereby it agreed to sell the said town of Nemacolin to him, and he in turn was to reconvey the lots and houses erected thereon to the employe-tenants then occupying the respective houses. The deed from the company to Baily was dated November 29, 1946, and contained the following clause: "This conveyance is made subject to any highway, telephone line or other easement now in effect upon said described ten tracts or parcels of land." Thereafter, Baily, by deeds dated December 2, 1946, and recorded the same day, conveyed lot No. 352 to Emil Paci and Helen T., his wife, appellees; lot No. 353 to Harry L. Davis and Gertrude H., his wife, appellees; lot No. 354 to Walter Pavlak and Mary I., his wife, appellees; lot No. 347 to Forrest W. Shipley and Daisy W., his wife, appellants; and lot No. 346 to Joseph W. Petratus, appellant. Anthony Petratus and Laura, his wife, appellants, are the parents of Joseph W. Petratus and reside with him. Each of the aforesaid deeds contained the following clause: "Subject to and under the exceptions, reservations and conditions contained in the deed from Buckeye Coal Company to the said Richard L. Baily, also under and subject to all existing roads, streets, alleys, rights of way, pipe lines, electric lines and telephone poles, water and sewage lines now on said premises." Appellants, in May, 1947, effectively obstructed the use of the alley, precipitating this litigation, at two points: (1) where the alley crossed the boundary lines between lot No. 346 and lot No. 354 by the erection of a wooden fence across the alley, (2) and by the erection of iron posts across the alley where the alley intersected Grant Lane. They contend that the alley was not *377 shown upon a plan of lots in question duly recorded by Baily; that the alley as laid out was at a different location from that claimed by appellees. They further argue that, (1) the alley is not shown to have been dedicated to public use and is, therefore, not a public way; (2) Baily, being owner of the entire tract, had a right to relocate the ways existing upon the land at the time of his acquisition, and exercised such right when he filed of record a plot of the entire town; and (3) said recorded plot could not be altered or changed without consultation of those parties having an interest in the land affected thereby. The foregoing contentions do not present a fair appraisal of the basic issues involved in this appeal. It is unnecessary to determine the effect, if any, of the recorded plan. It is conceded the recorded plan erroneously designated the location of the alley. The evidence adduced permits no conclusion other than that appellees had a right to use the alley in question and that this right existed by reason of recognition thereof in the Baily deeds. The decree will therefore be affirmed. "It is settled law in Pennsylvania that an owner of land may arrange it as he pleases, doing no injury to others, and that any ways or other privileges which he may provide for the necessary or convenient use of the different parts of the land, or of structures on it, will remain as servitudes upon the parts subjected to them by him, in the hands of subsequent purchasers with notice, or when the easements are continuous and apparent. The easements thus created, being for the specific use of the lands for which they were provided, become appurtenances of those dominant estates, and require no deed or writing to support them; they pass by a conveyance of the estates to which they are appurtenant": Held v. McBride, 3 Pa. Superior Ct. 155, 158; Ozehoski v. Scranton Spring Brook Water Service Co., 157 Pa. Superior Ct. 437, 43 A.2d 601. "It needs no citation of *378 authority to show that such a right of way, appendant or annexed to an estate, may be used and enjoyed by those who own or lawfully occupy any part of the dominant tenement for any purpose to which it may from time to time be legitimately applied. Only those who may be properly regarded as trespassers on the dominant tenement can be excluded": Gunson v. Healy, 100 Pa. 42, 46, 47. At the time of the agreements between Baily and the present litigants for the sale of their respective properties there was a right of way or alley across their lands. The agreements did not designate the location of the right of way or alley then in use for it was plainly visible and known to the parties. Equity will consider the parties contemplated the continued use of the alley as visibly used and known at the time of the agreement. Appellants were not misled. Decree affirmed, appellants to pay the costs. PER CURIAM, March 14, 1950: The foregoing opinion was prepared by Judge FINE before his resignation on March 1, 1950. It is now adopted and filed as the opinion of the Court.

Bovine lens epithelial cells have a ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis system. Lens cells must remove obsolete or damaged proteins produced during development, maturation and aging to maintain lens transparency. In reticulocytes removal of abnormal or obsolete proteins is thought to involve a ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic pathway. Two hallmarks of ubiquitin (Ub) dependent proteolysis have previously been demonstrated in lens cell or tissue supernatants: (1) the presence of ubiquitin conjugates, and (2) ATP-dependent proteolysis. Nevertheless, conclusive proof was lacking of a requirement for ubiquitination of substrate proteins for proteolysis. Here we show that in bovine lens epithelial cell (BLEC) supernatant, ATP-dependent proteolysis is also ubiquitin-dependent. Ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1), the first enzyme in the cascade of ubiquitin ligation, was purified over 3000-fold from a rabbit reticulocyte lysate using Ubiquitin-Sepharose, and showed ATP-PPi exchange activity. Antiserum to E1 was prepared in goats and affinity-purified on Protein G-Sepharose. Western blot analysis revealed that both the goat antiserum and purified antibody (anti-E1(IgG)) recognize specifically E1. Anti-E1(IgG) inhibits 86% of the ATP-dependent degradation of labeled histone H2A in reticulocyte lysate and 75% of the ATP-dependent degradation in BLEC. Upon reconstitution with purified E1, 100% and 80% of proteolysis was restored in reticulocytes and BLEC supernatant, respectively. This confirms that there is a ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic system in lens.

…from maternity to motherhood How to do perineal massage Perineal massage is a method performed to relax and soften the perineum, the area between the vagina and the rectum. This practice is most often undertaken during the final six weeks of pregnancy, in order to alleviate tears to the perineum during childbirth and help prepare for the sensations experienced during childbirth. Perineal massage involves stretching the muscles between your vagina and your bottom (perineum) during pregnancy, to prepare for giving birth. This will help the opening of your vagina to stretch more easily as your baby is born. If you’ve never given birth vaginally before, massaging your perineum towards the end of your pregnancy can reduce your risk of episiotomy. It may also reduce your risk of having a tear. Even if you have had a baby before, perineal massage can help to reduce discomfort after the birth. Start perineal massage when you are 34 weeks pregnant and aim to do it at least once a week or twice a week. Perineal massage should focus on the inside of your vagina, though you may still feel the skin on the outside stretching. Here’s how to do a perineal massage: Choose a comfortable position. This could be sitting or lying down, or you could try standing with one foot on a chair. You could even try doing the massage in the bath or shower, where the warm water will help to soften your perineum. Make sure your hands are clean and your nails are trimmed Use a lubricant such as olive oil/sweet almond oil to your hands and the perineal area. Place a thumb or two fingers 3cm into the vagina (half your thumb). Massage the area by gently rubbing the perineal tissues between your thumb and fingers. Press downwards and to the sides, gently stretching until you feel a tingling sensation. The feeling lessens after a few moments. Once this sensation is felt, hold the stretch for around one minute, until the feeling subsides and begin gently massaging the lower part of the vagina by moving your thumb back and forth. While massaging also hook your thumb onto the sides of the vagina and gently pull these tissues forward, as your baby’s head does, when they are being born. Continue to gently rub as you stretch for around 3-4 minutes. Discontinue if you feel pain. When you’re heavily pregnant, it can be difficult to do perineal massage yourself. If your partner is willing, he can do it for you. The process is the same, although he may find it easier to use his index fingers, rather than his thumbs. The important thing is to find a routine that works for you and stick to it. Perineal massage shouldn’t hurt, though it may feel a bit uncomfortable, particularly at first. After you’ve been doing it for a few weeks, you may notice the skin and muscles around your vaginal opening becoming looser. This is a great sign that perineal massage is working.

The proteasome has been validated as a therapeutic target, as demonstrated by the FDA approval of bortezomib, a boronic acid proteasome inhibitor, for the treatment of various cancer indications, including multiple myeloma; and more recently, carfilzomib, a tetra-peptide epoxy ketone-containing proteasome inhibitor, for the treatment of refractory multiple myeloma. Oprozomib (chemical structure shown below; also known as ONX 912) is an orally bioavailable (epoxy ketone-containing) tri-peptide irreversible proteasome inhibitor, which has demonstrated preclinical anti-tumor activity and a broad therapeutic window in preclinical models and is currently being studied in Phase I clinical trials.

Share your bug fixes The GPU is an unruly beast. Please share your most annoying bugs and how you eventually managed to fix them, so that others won’t have to go through that same horror. Here’s a few of my own, in no particular order: - Number of parameter on kernel calls: a kernel stack space is limited, and may vary with the hardware. As a rule of thumb, try to keep it below 128 bytes. NVIDIA claims it can go up to 256, but with mem alignment and other issues, it can rarely reach that threshold safely. If you’re unsure on how to calculate your kernel’s stack size, assume that on a worst-case scenario, each normal argument takes 8 bytes each, except for pointers (i.e., array arguments), where you should count 16 bytes. Exceed the stack size, and you’ll have crazy errors. - Launching kernels within a different context: If you’re getting “Invalid handle” while launching your kernel in a multi-gpu setting, it usually means that the “gpu” instance that you’re using to launch the kernel is on a different context than the current context. Either use CUDAfy’s multi-threading management tools (check cudafy’s unit test for examples), or manually switch the gpu’s context to become the current context, by calling mygpu.SetCurrentContext() before you launch the kernel. - If you’re getting an ErrorUnknown after either launching your kernel or (if launching it asynchronously) on the next cudafy instruction, that means that your kernel aborted unexpectedly. There could be a plethora of reasons for that, but the most frequent is memory access violations. Use emulation mode to pinpoint your problem. The CUDA Toolkit “cuda-memcheck.exe” can also help you there. Other frequent reasons for ErrorUnknown are calling “return” on only a few of the threads within the block, or dividing by zero, or even launching a kernel with an excessively large blockDim*GridDim. - If you’re getting inconsistent numerical results, which change on every run, most likely you are accessing uninitialized memory somewhere in your computations. Another source of this can result by not calling SynchThreads() after some particular manipulations of shared memory where more than one thread contribute for a common shared result. Try placing SynchThreads() everywhere, and if it fixes your problem, selectively remove them. This has fixed some vexing problems I had where different hardware & architectures would produce inconsistent results.

PlayStation VR Worlds PlayStation VR Worlds is a video game compilation developed by SIE London Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was released in October 2016 as a launch game for the PlayStation 4's virtual reality headset PlayStation VR. The game includes five different experiences, including London Heist, VR Luge, Scavenger's Odyssey, Ocean Descent and Danger Ball. The game received mixed reviews upon release. Gameplay As a virtual reality game, PlayStation VR Worlds features five different experiences, including the following: London Heist: It is a first-person shooter in which the player controls a mobster who is tasked to steal a diamond. VR Luge: In VR Luge, the player character leans on a street luge sled and slides down a highway while evading other vehicles. Scavenger's Odyssey: Players explore a sci-fi location using vehicles and defeat aliens using the Scavenger beam and pulse cannons Ocean Descent: The player character descends to the depth of the ocean and observes different marine wildlife. Danger Ball: Danger Ball is a sports game in which the player avatar uses their head to hit a ball. Development SIE London Studio was the game's developer. It was officially revealed in March 2017. Prior to the game's announcement, Ocean Descent (formerly known as Into the Deep), London Heist and VR Luge were created as tech demo for the PlayStation VR. Only the London Heist level allows the use of the PlayStation Move controller. The game was released on October 13, 2016 as a launch game for the virtual reality headset of PlayStation 4, PlayStation VR. Reception The game received mixed reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic. London Heist was commonly named by critics as one of the game's best levels. Ocean Descent was also praised, though many critics noted it as a "passive" experience. Scavengers Odyssey was heavily criticized for inducing motion sickness. The game's lack of replayability and expensive price were also criticized, with Chris Carter from Destructoid calling the title a "paid demo". Legacy The London Heist level was expanded by London Studio into a full game named Blood & Truth, which was released on May 28, 2019.

In many areas, particularly those In hot climates, heat transferred to the roof of a building by the sun can cause a significant rise in the internal temperature of the building. This can be a problem in those areas where it is warm year round or where temperatures rise to extreme levels, since it can lead to increased energy costs for air conditioning and increased insulation costs. The present invention is concerned with a roof covering that mitigates this problem.

Q: Comparison of Lat, Long Coordinates I have a list of more than 15 thousand latitude and longitude coordinates. Given any X,Y coordinates, what is the fastest way to find the closest coordinates on the list? A: I did this once for a web site. I.e. find the dealer within 50 miles of your zip code. I used the great circle calculation to find the coordinates that were 50 miles north, 50 miles east, 50 miles south, and 50 miles west. That gave me a min and max lat and a min and max long. From there then I did a database query: select * from dealers where latitude >= minlat and latitude <= maxlat and longitude >= minlong and longitude <= maxlong Since some of those results will still be more than 50 miles away, then I used the great circle formula once more on that small list of coordinates. Then I printed out the list along with the distance from the target. Of course, if you wanted to search for points near the international date line or the poles, than this won't work. But it works great for searches inside North America! A: You will want to use a geometric construction called a Voronoi diagram. This divides up the plane into a number of areas, one for each point, that encompass all the points that are closest to each of your given points. The code for the exact algorithms to create the Voronoi diagram and arrange the data structure lookups are too large to fit in this little edit box. :) @Linor: That's essentially what you would do after creating a Voronoi diagram. But instead of making a rectangular grid, you can choose dividing lines that closely match the lines of the Voronoi diagram (this way you will get fewer areas that cross dividing lines). If you recursively divide your Voronoi diagram in half along the best dividing line for each subdiagram, you can then do a tree search for each point you want to look up. This requires a bit of work up front but saves time later. Each lookup would be on the order of log N where N is the number of points. 16 comparisons is a lot better than 15,000! A: The general concept you're describing is nearest-neighbour search, and there are a whole raft of techniques which deal with solving these types of queries, either exactly or approximately. The basic idea is to use a spatial partitioning technique to reduce the complexity from O(n) per query to (approximately) O( log n ) per query. KD-Trees, and variants of KD-Trees seem to work very well, but quad-trees will also work. The quality of these searches depends on whether your set of 15,000 data points are static (you're not adding a-lot of data points to the reference set). Mount and Arya's work on the Approximate Nearest Neighbour library is both easy to use and understand, even without a good grounding in the math. It also gives you some flexibility in the types and tolerances of your queries.

216 SHARES Facebook Twitter For film fans, Paul Schrader is the gift that keeps on giving. Not only is he an incredible writer, an accomplished director, and all-around creative genius, but he’s also one of the few people in Hollywood that has a zero-fucks-given mentality. If there were a “Zero Fucks Given” Mount Rushmore of directors, you’d have monuments dedicated to modern masters of interviews like Lars von Trier, Nicolas Winding Refn, John Carpenter, and of course, Schrader. And recently, he’s proven his status among those elite storytellers with a hilarious anecdote about “Taxi Driver 2” and his triumphant escape from Facebook jail. READ MORE: Ethan Hawke No Longer Attached To Paul Schrader’s New Surreal Western As part of a recent episode of “The Q & A Podcast,” the filmmaker was asked a variety of questions about his career and his most recent feature, “First Reformed.” But the part that stood out most to us is a story he shared when asked about the possibility of a “Taxi Driver” sequel. “No, no, no. That was a stupid idea that [Robert] De Niro had,” Schrader quickly refuted. “Marty [Scorsese] said, ‘Bobby [De Niro] wants to do a sequel to ‘Taxi Driver.’’ I said, ‘That’s the stupidest fucking idea I’ve ever heard,’” the filmmaker eloquently stated. Alas, Schrader goes on to explain that Scorsese wasn’t trying to discuss it with his writer. Instead, the director wanted Schrader to be the one to break it to De Niro. “And with Marty, you quickly realize that he gets you to play the bad guy. He’s not going to tell Bob this is the stupidest idea he’s ever heard,” Schrader said. “So, we have lunch together and I said, ‘Bob, this is the stupidest idea I’ve ever heard.’…But then I thought, ‘Well, wait a second, Bob. Maybe [Travis Bickle] is still alive.’ You know, he was on a death trip. I don’t think he lived more than six months after that movie, but maybe he is still alive.” READ MORE: Paul Schrader Is Conflicted About His First Oscar Nomination: “I Have Never Really Respected The Academy For Their Choices” He continued, “Maybe he’s [infamous “Unabomber”] Ted Kaczynski. Maybe the whole movie takes place in a cabin in Montana, where he’s writing in his journal, sending out bombs. Now, that would be cool. But De Niro doesn’t like that idea.” Speaking of stupid ideas, and Schrader’s knack for saying things that most Hollywood types would never dare, the filmmaker was released from his self-imposed Facebook jail post-Oscars. And in typical fashion, the man didn’t take long before letting out some things he has been holding back. First, you may be wondering, “Why was the Oscar-nominated writer of ‘First Reformed’ in self-imposed exile during awards season?” Well, Schrader has your answer. READ MORE: Paul Schrader Talks Favorite Films He Directed & Why He Released The Director’s Cut Of ‘Dying Of The Light’ On Torrent Sites “Last fall, after I admitted that I’d like to work with Kevin Spacey, A24 requested that I stay off from [Facebook] until award season was over. It’s over and I’m out of FB jail,” he wrote in a recent Facebook post. But then Schrader launches into some of his thoughts on issues that happened while he was away, which included one statement that shows just how amazing he is, and why film fans around the world should be envious of his position. “…ran into Spike Lee, Alfonso Cuaron, Pavel Paveloski (sic), Bo Burnham and Barry Jenkins so often at so many ceremonies and events I never need to see them again,” he continued. READ MORE: The 2019 Oscars: A Diverse “New” Academy At War With Itself However, the last point is something that is sure to stoke the flames of Oscar debate that has risen up since “Green Book” took home the Best Picture award. In a veiled statement, that isn’t so subtle when you look at Schrader’s reported dislike of the Peter Farrelly film, he wrote, “…learned anew never to underestimate the power of mediocrity.” Welcome back to the social media world, Paul Schrader. We sure did miss you.

Yes, murdering sex workers is common enough in fiction to have its own TV Tropes page. We're not saying those shows or games are the reason so many prostitutes wind up murdered; we're saying the real murders and our oddly glib attitude about the subject come from the same place: society doesn't see sex workers as human beings. Continue Reading Below Advertisement Mary (the brothel worker we spoke to) saw the same double standard even among actual criminals: "Sitting next to a girl in a police truck (okay ... handcuffed to a girl), she said, 'Why can't you sit with those other girls? Are you all hookers? That's nasty.' Turns out this amazing woman was caught for animal cruelty ... she starved a Labrador, and I'm the nasty one." Yasushi Akimoto/amana images/Getty Images Continue Reading Below Advertisement Meredith, meanwhile, started off in a strip club. Things like handjobs and allowing some light fingering were extremely common among her co-workers, yet they still considered full-on prostitution to be disgusting and shameful: "I remember we had parking lot security to keep us safe, and to stop hookers from cruising around to pick up clients as they left the club. Well, one enterprising chick fliered the employee parking lot on accident with signs that said 'Looking for a good time? Call Yolanda.' So all my co-workers were just incensed, like, 'That's so disgusting,' and I'm like, dude -- a lot of the shit we do every day would be considered prostitution if we got busted by a cop."

Q: Optimization of a program in python I am trying to solve this problem on HackerRank: Animesh has N empty candy jars numbered from 1 to N with infinite capacity. He performs M operations. Each operation is described by 3 integers a, b and k where a and b are index of >the jars and k is the number of candies to be added inside each jar with index between a and >b (both inclusive). Can you tell the average number of candies after M operations? I have written the below code in Python 3: def operate(a, b, k, array): for i in range(a - 1, b): array[i] += k def mean(array): return int(sum(array) / len(array)) splitinput = [int(x) for x in input().split()] candy = [] for i in range(splitinput[0]): candy.append(0) for j in range(splitinput[1]): splitinput2 = input().split() operate(int(splitinput2[0]), int(splitinput2[1]), int(splitinput2[2]), candy) print(mean(candy)) It works, but times out on some test cases. How could I approach making this faster? I'm been coding in Python for a while, but the finer points of optimization still elude me. A: You don't care where the candies are. As long as you know how many candies there are and how many jars, you can compute the mean. Thus, you can just keep one count of all candies: jars, ops = map(int, input().split()) candies = 0 for i in range(ops): a, b, k = map(int, input().split()) candies += k*(b-a+1) print candies / jars This avoids having to keep track of N separate counts or increment k counters for each operation. When you get large k values, this is very important.

Reducing no flow times during automated external defibrillation. There has recently been an increased attention focused on the importance of reducing time without blood flow from chest compressions (no flow time, NFT) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). In this study we have analyzed and quantified the NFTs during external automatic defibrillation in 105 cardiac arrest patients. We found that for around half of the time (about 10 min), these patients were not perfused. We have proposed methods to reduce NFT in connection with analyses and shocks. The key factors were rhythm analysis during ongoing CPR, capacitor charging during analysis, 1 min of CPR immediately after a shock (with rhythm analysis during CPR at the end of the 1 min), and distinguishing between asystole and organized rhythm in analyses to skip pulse check if asystole. The potential reduction in NFT using these methods was calculated theoretically and we found a reduction in the total NFT of about 4.5 and 1 min, respectively, in the subgroups of patients having at least one shock and patients having received no shocks. In the present study, the median NFT ratio could theoretically be reduced from 51% to 34% or 49% to 39% depending on if the patient would have a shockable rhythm or not. By introducing the proposed methods into an AED, the NFT would be significantly reduced, hopefully increasing the survival.

The third chapter in the Insidious franchise is released today. Are you scared yet? "Go away, Patrick Wilson. You can't come in." Insidious: Chapter 3, the heroic medium Elise says ‘I can’t keep doing this anymore’. After a while of the stale mediocrity that unfolds over the course of two hours, you’ll be thinking the same. Say what you will about the first Insidious film, ridiculous asides involving Darth Maul or not, the low-budget Poltergeist knock-off had just enough genuinely unsettling moments in it to make it worth your while. It had an effectively creepy atmosphere, spine tingling soundtrack and a notion of a neitherworld existing between life and death where demons frequent. While exercising all the tropes of the evil spirts oriented haunted house thriller, the film still managed to carve just enough of its niche out to separate itself from the rest of the pack.

Insidious’ success was due in large part to Saw, The Conjuring and Furious 7 director James Wan’s confident and controlled direction. The material aims low but Wan takes it higher than it probably deserves. Having signed off on the second entry, which to some comes into its own and for others feels like more of the same, Wan was ready to leave Insidious and its creator Whannell behind. Stuck without a director, Whannell took it upon himself to both star in and direct what proved to be by far the weakest and cheapest looking entry of the series, Chapter 3. Without spoiling anything, let it be said the series has now reached the equivalent of Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, where you can make whatever movie you want and sell it purely on the basis of the connections to the series.

Without spoiling anything, let it be said the series has now reached the equivalent of, where you can make whatever movie you want and sell it purely on the basis of theconnections to the series. A sort of prequel to the first two movies, Chapter 3 sets itself apart somewhat with how Elise (Lin Shayne) fulfills her obligations as psychic successor to Poltergeist’s Tangina Barrons. Chapter 3 is something of an unfrightening letdown with half of the technical proficiency of Wan’s offerings. It breaks my heart to say this, but beyond Blumhouse and producer Oren Peli making yet another killing at the box office, Chapter 3 really has no business being in the theater. Now some of you will attest Whannell is entitled a second chance considering it’s only his debut as a film director, but for all intents and purposes, the difference between Wan’s craft and Whannell’s inexperience behind the camera is unmistakable. Where Wan managed to use the budgetary limitations to his advantage and felt like a professionally made PG-13 horror thriller, Chapter 3 feels not unlike tween melodramas produced by CW for Warner Brothers. For a first time director, Whannell pats himself on a back whenever he’s onscreen with annoying egocentrism not seen since M. Night Shyamalan’s Lady in the Water. We know Whannell has written these films. It says so on the opening credits. Do we really need him to come out and say it in broad daylight? "Gee. I really hope evil spirits like cell phones cause I can't put this one down." Fans of the Insidious franchise will get the expected jump scares with the soundtrack blasting loud whenever it wants to resort to startling you. Other than trying to sink its teeth into Elise, Chapter 3 just doesn’t do a whole lot in the way of creating genuine scares or a compelling storyline. We’ve seen the demonic possession and neitherworld story done to death over the last forty years and judging from this and the numerous trailers before the film, the trend isn’t on its way out anytime soon. Elise comes into her own but the rest of the cast, including the irrepressible Dermot Mulroney as the young possessed girl’s father, tend to get lost in the shuffle. Besides changing a couple characters around and setting it at a timeframe prior to the first two movies, the new Insidious feels like a disappointingly average retread of familiar territory. While that doesn’t necessarily make it bad, it doesn’t make it good enough to recommend. Intended to be scary, Chapter 3 bores viewers to tears despite its valiant attempts to frighten beyond abruptly blaring the soundtrack up loud. Not that the other movies were masterpieces, per se, but that they still held your interest and were worth seeking out despite Darth Maul briefly reappearing before making an unwanted cameo near the very end. I’m all for horror that relies mostly on shadows, claustrophobia and atmosphere, but Whannell pretty clearly has turned over a sophomore effort beneath the abilities of his colleagues and contemporaries. If you were me, I’d pass on this unnecessary and tiresome prequel. There’s just not enough new here for us to get worked up over. Oh well. I suppose it was marginally better than Poltergeist II: The Other Side.

Navigation Fifty Shades of Grey - DVD Review Review by Rob Carnevale product IndieLondon Rating: 2 out of 5 FOR an ‘event’ movie, Fifty Shades of Grey is curiously uneventful… a slick but muddled affair that’s high on romance but low on anything really edgy. If anything, it’s audiences who may feel violated. Sam Taylor-Johnson directs with a softly, softly touch that negates any of the air of anticipation surrounding this big screen adaptation of EL James’ S&M-laced romance novel. Admittedly, the decision to focus on the ‘relationship’ rather than the sex proves wise but as a film, this is all build up and no climax. Just when things start to get interesting on a cerebral level, Taylor-Johnson pulls the plug. But then Fifty Shades of Grey was largely doomed to fail from the outset. Ardent fans of the books harder, more graphic elements were always going to cry foul of the film’s failure to put them all on screen… but then who would want to see endless scenes of spanking and domination anyway? Surely, that would just be exploitative, or even pornographic. Rather than go there, Taylor-Wood’s film opts to explore the characters more, if not their motivations. Hence, Dakota Johnson plays the virginal college student Anastasia Steele who begins to fall under the spell of ‘enigmatic’ billionaire businessman Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan), only to discover that beneath the charming veneer is a troubled soul who gets his kicks from sado-masochism. But rather than opting for anything too dark, the film seems more interested in the romantic elements and lacks the edge to prevent it from feeling dull. Early on, the romance feels like something that might belong in a teen romance mixed with the wish fulfilment of a Pretty Woman or the high-end sophistication of a Thomas Crown Affair (as evidenced by two ‘seduction’ scenes involving flying in high priced toys). The S&M element is only ever in the background… a place where Grey would like Steele to go – but something she, in turn, keeps him [and us] waiting for. Once there, it’s more gentle heavy petting than anything really eye-opening, until Steele asks for Grey to do his worst in a bid to understand him more. It’s here that the fractured psychology of the Grey character threatens to become exposed and yet it’s also here that the film suddenly ends. Audiences are left dangling yet, ironically, not really wanting to see more. If anything, there’s a sense of relief that it’s over. And then comes the realisation that – like a bad relationship – you’ve been used and maybe even abused. This is, after all, a big Hollywood blockbuster that’s looking to kick-start a franchise. As such, there’s no attempt to finish the story or offer any closure. It’s an opening chapter and not a very compelling one at that. It’s also a film that keeps its eye firmly on the cash potential, as further evidenced by the high profile pop songs that accompany every sex scene (including the two scenes of S&M). And it’s here that the superficiality of the whole endeavour really becomes exposed, with serious issues such as sexual power and control, the debilitating effects of child abuse and even the degradation of women (perhaps unsurprisingly we see more of Johnson than we do of Dornan) flung by the wayside; glossed over with soft-core lighting and mood music to make us feel titillated rather than absorbed or even part of a worthwhile debate. The only real surprises come in the form of Taylor-Johnson as director (she at least makes the film look attractive) and the quality of the performances from both Johnson and Dornan, the former of whom really makes a strong impression with her handling of the limited material. She has range and her talents will hopefully be more gainfully employed in better films than this.

VENTURA VENTURE “Am I going to run for office again? Right now, I might say ‘no.’ But I’ve learned after 59 years on this planet that you never say ‘never.’ If Congressman Ron Paul called me, I would consider being on his ticket. Whether I’m in as president or vice president, we’d have to flip a coin,” Jesse Ventura tells Inside the Beltway, brimming with admiration for the Texas Republican. The former Minnesota governor has much to say. He has a new website (www.weaintgottimetobleed.com) and his new book “63 Documents the Government Doesn’t Want You to Read” hits bookshelves Monday. Mr. Ventura is making appearances in Manhattan all week, having flown in a private jet from his home in a remote area of Mexico. “I’m suing the Transportation Security Administration on the grounds they violated my rights under the Fourth Amendment, which protects Americans from unreasonable searches and seizures. So I’m not flying commercial,” he says, vexed that even as a former Navy SEAL and state governor, he is still treated as a security risk and sent through airport scanners. Mr. Ventura, who hosts “Conspiracy Theory” on TruTV, is a big fan of WikiLeaks but dismisses the mainstream media. He blames CBS’ “60 Minutes” for the “downfall” of news after the network discovered it could make big ratings and ad revenue from dramatic coverage. Mr. Ventura also contends that the press has failed in its traditional watchdog role, “creates rather than reports news” and has “dumbed down America” by focusing on celebrities rather than mportant issues. “And idiots like Bill O’Reilly on Fox News won’t have me on their show. Think about that. Fox News won’t have me on the air, but Al Jazeera will put me on any day. I think that Al Jazeera is a lot more ‘fair and balanced’ than Fox News,” Mr. Ventura says. “And all these knuckleheads who want to run for president, like Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich. Do we really want stupid people to run?” the former wrestler demands. “The greatest thing Americans can do to save our country is to stop voting for Republicans and Democrats. Both parties have been bought out by corporations. I mean, has anyone ever wondered why every secretary of the Treasury in recent years came out of Goldman Sachs?” RE-ELECTION FEVER Observers have deduced that President Obama is poised to file his re-election papers with the Federal Election Commission. Like, soon - possibly Monday in a terse little email to followers with hullabaloo to follow. Major fundraising events in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York already are scheduled throughout April; the “Obama 2012 Victory Fund” is being established, says Chicago Sun-Times political writer Lynn Sweet. And the timing? Not so prudent, perhaps. “With all of the speculation surrounding the presidents re-election announcement, does the White House believe it is ‘good optics’ to formally kick off the presidents re-election campaign during negotiations to keep the government open, a budget battle for the next fiscal year and unrest in the Middle East?” asks the Republican National Committee. CREEPING UP Uh-oh, the honeymoon apparently has ended. “The GOP election bounce appears to be over, with more American adults in March identifying themselves as Democrats than Republicans for the first time since October. Now, just 34 percent of adults consider themselves to be Republicans. Thats down three points since December and just over a point lower than a month ago. The number calling themselves Democrats rose to 35.3 percent from 34.3 percent in February.” (From a Rasmussen Reports tracking survey of 15,000 adults conducted from January to March and released Friday.) BY GEORGE It was inevitable, perhaps. George Washington is getting a $60 million, 45,000-square-foot presidential library to augment Mount Vernon, his bustling old homestead. The Fred W. Smith National Library for the Study of George Washington will house 2,500 rare 18th- and 19th-century books, including 80 owned by Washington, plus 500 letters, ledgers and account books that bear his writing or signature. Groundbreaking on the five-acre facility dedicated to “America’s most famous founding father” is April 14; the anticipated completion date is 2013. FAST TIMES It’s getting dramatic. Fiscally conscientious Republicans are now Snidely Whiplash-style villains as well as “tea party extremists.” Officials in eight progressive groups have called a “fast against budget cuts against America’s needy.” The organizations include MoveOn.org, the Service Employees International Union and the Center for Community Change. “I am fasting because this budget will leave pregnant women and children hungry, sick people without health care, children without pre-school and students without teachers - while giving tax breaks to those who caused this crisis,” says Justin Ruben, MoveOn’s executive director. “We don’t have a budget crisis in Washington. We have a moral crisis. Those who will go hungry because of these cuts are largely invisible to decision-makers in Congress.” POLL DU JOUR • 58 percent of U.S. voters disapprove of the way Democrats in Congress are “handling their job.” • 81 percent of Republicans, 73 percent of conservatives, 34 percent of liberals and 28 percent of Democrats agree. • 55 percent overall disapprove of the way Republicans in Congress are handling their job. • 75 percent of liberals, 74 percent of Democrats, 32 percent of Republicans and 42 percent of conservatives agree. • 40 percent overall would vote for the House Republican candidate if an election were held now; 37 percent would vote for the Democrat.

I've always been a tremendous fan of Big J, and I never appreciated how so many nut-jobs, sects, and entire religions butcher his purpose to suit their own means.

FCC Blocks Chinese Company's Bid For International Phone Services In The U.S. Enlarge this image toggle caption Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images The Federal Communications Commission has blocked a Chinese company from providing international phone services in the United States, citing national security concerns as tensions persist between Washington and Beijing. China Mobile USA, though a Delaware corporation, is ultimately owned and controlled by the Chinese government, according to the FCC. The company filed an application in 2011 to provide international communications services. "There is a significant risk that the Chinese government would use China Mobile to conduct activities that would seriously jeopardize the national security, law enforcement, and economic interests of the United States," FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said. "Among other things, if this application were granted, the Chinese government could use China Mobile to exploit our telephone network to increase intelligence collection against U.S. government agencies and other sensitive targets that depend on this network." China Mobile USA does not provide domestic services in the United States, an FCC spokesperson says. If the application had been granted, the company would have been able to connect to the U.S. network, receiving greater access to telephone lines, cellular networks, fiber-optic cables and communication satellites — heightening the risk of communications being monitored, degraded and disrupted. In 2018, the U.S. Department of Commerce communicated with the company and the U.S. intelligence community before recommending the application be denied. Last month, the FCC indicated that it intended to follow through with that recommendation in a draft order. Thursday's announcement came after a unanimous 5-0 vote from the FCC's Republican and Democratic commissioners. After the vote, Pai said the agency was also examining authorizations that had been previously granted to two other Chinese firms, China Telecom and China Unicom. China Mobile USA is a subsidiary of China Mobile Limited, which did not immediately respond to NPR's request for comment. Lawyers representing China Mobile USA said the drafted order to reject the company's application was guided "more by tensions in the bilateral U.S.-China relationship than an absence of effective mitigation options." The denied application is the latest indication of a growing rift between the United States and China. Amid a trade war, the Trump administration has insisted that Chinese telecom company Huawei has ties to the government and that its equipment could be used to spy on people or commit economic espionage. Congress has banned government agencies and contractors from buying Huawei equipment, prompting Huawei to sue the U.S. government. Reuters reported that for more than a year, President Trump has also been considering an executive order that would block American companies from using equipment manufactured by Huawei and its competitor, ZTE. In March, U.S. authorities warned allies in Europe to ban Huawei from their 5G communication networks or face the possibility of receiving less intelligence from U.S. agencies. Germany declined to exclude the company. Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei denied the alleged links to Chinese intelligence and said the company would refuse government requests to share customer information. A FCC spokesperson told NPR that ownership of China Mobile USA traces to the China Mobile Communications Corporation, which is "subject to the supervision of the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission," a part of the Chinese government managed under the State Council.

Recently Katy Perry has been forced to withdraw from sale her shoes after the blackface controversy. Here is a close up of her shoes with blue eyes, a gold triangle nose, and glossy red lips. Gucci too has been forced to withdraw its clothing after people complained of depictions of blackface. Gucci’s creative director Alessandro Michele said that these items were a tribute to Leigh Bowery. Gucci had a runway show based on satanic ritual abuse. Here is a tribute to Bowery entitled 'Satan's Daughter'. Boy George wrote a song for Leigh Bowery entitled 'Satan's Butterfly Ball'. Bowery is a gay icon. Philippine Rothschild wearing one of her Baphomet necklaces Here is Rothschild wearing a similar image. These necklaces look like the images on Katy Perry's shoes and Gucci's clothing. I have drawn the conclusion that Gucci and Perry were not doing blackface but were selling clothing and shoes with images of satan on them, pushing them on to the public without our knowledge but with the knowledge of those high up in the know.

Herpesviral proteins regulating apoptosis. The induction of apoptosis of virus-infected cells is an important defense mechanism of the host. Apoptosis of an infected cell can be induced cell autonomously as a consequence of viral replication or can be mediated by CTLs attacking the infected cells. Herpesviruses have developed different strategies to interfere with cell-autonomous apoptosis and to block CTL-induced apoptosis mediated by death receptors such as Fas and TRAIL. Herpesviruses, which establish a lifelong persistence in the infected host, can be found principally in two different conditions, episomal persistence with a limited number of genes expressed and lytic replication with expression of almost all genes. To meet the need of the virus to enhance survival of the infected cell, herpesviruses have evolved different strategies that function during both episomal persistence and lytic replication. Herpesviruses, which encode 70 to more than 200 genes have incorporated cell homologous antiapoptotic genes, they code for multifunctional genes that can also regulate apoptosis, and, finally, they modulate the expression of cellular apoptosis-regulating genes to favor survival of the infected cells. Viral interference with host cell apoptosis enhances viral replication, facilitates virus spread and persistence, and may promote the development of virus-induced cancer.

“They almost treat me like a leper, really. Like I don’t deserve a place in society because I’m obese. You know, I must be so fat that my heart doesn’t break when people say things.” Weight discrimination: It’s real. It’s happening. And I’ve been guilty of it. I used to be one of those people who said, “They just need to have more control. They just need to eat healthier.” Just because it was easy for me. But once I fell into the pit of food obsession, once I endured the overwhelming cravings and seemingly never-ending restrict-binge cycle, and as I’ve gained weight despite every intention to try to lose weight again, I feel as if I’ve had a glimpse into the world of an overweight person. Not only have I not endured the physical disabilities that come with being obese, but most of all I have not faced the torment, the never-ending weight discrimination that haunts many people for the rest of their lives. Weightism It’s the new buzzword in the diet/health paradigm–weightism. After years of bashing the overweight, it’s time to show more sympathy for those who struggle with their weight; it’s time to give them a voice. We need to recognize that this is not a lack of willpower, but that obesity and eating disorders are illnesses, and they need to be treated as such. Unfortunately, try as I might to break away from weightism, an unconscious switch in my brain often lights up the moment I see a large person. I hear the voice in my mind say, “She needs to work on eating better” or, “He needs more control.” And then karma bites you in the butt. When you’re the one gaining weight, you hear those same comments from that negative voice within–or perhaps worse, from others. Weight has become a moral signifier: Fat? It’s because you’re a “bad,” lazy person eating crap. Thin? It’s because you’re a “good” person who has control and discipline. I was brainwashed from childhood to see the overweight as people who were lazy, undisciplined, and stupid. (“Well duh, just eat less and exercise more.” “Well duh, get off your butt.” “Well duh, just eat healthier.”) Yes, I thought anyone who was overweight lacked self-control, didn’t care about their bodies, couldn’t see how fat they really were. So now we’re assuming they are blind? We’re assuming they don’t think about their weight or notice that other people stare and call them names? I was lucky to grow up in a household that emphasized exercise, that ate relatively healthy (especially compared to other families), and I have “thin-favorable” genes. I assumed that if others really wanted to be thin that badly, they would just do it. It didn’t help hearing from family members about how “that fat person looks terrible in that dress” or remembering how we used to smirk at some heavy-set people breathed heavily as they walked by. We were skinny, yes, and it was easy for us, yes, so we assumed everyone could be just like us if they tried hard enough. On an episode of “Fat Doctor,” Series 1 Episode 3, a morbidly obese woman named Amanda Beere goes grocery shopping with her son. The show states that “she rarely leaves the house because she’s terrified of comments from strangers.” “You get people shouting from cars. I get kids throwing eggs at me,” she says. Her 17-year-old son chimes in: “We have people like shouting and calling her names: ‘You ate all the pies, fatty, lose some weight you stupid bitch.’” Not only do these obese citizens experience torment from their own internal criticism (you know how much harder we are on ourselves), but also from strangers and even family and friends. There are many obese people who suffer from food addictions and may self-medicate due to emotional trauma. Some try in vain to make changes, only to fall back into their addictive behaviors no matter how badly they wish to get out (doesn’t this sound familiar to anorexia?). The outside appearance of obesity should not indicate morality (a “good” or “bad” person, or someone who is “in control” or “out of control”), but that there is something inside of them that is hurting, that has endured a difficult circumstance. Before operating on his next patient in “Fat Doctor,” Series 3, Episode 10, bariatric surgeon Shaw Summers points out the scars lining the patient’s body once she is asleep: “What you can see–she’s got a lot of these little lines across her and she has been so distraught and distressed by her situation that she’s resorted to deliberate self-harm and it’s a cry for help, really, that she’s just so upset and distressed by her predicament […] and it’s not unusual that patients who are so big are in a state of absolute distress and despair at the fact that they can’t get out of this trap. And this is a true addiction, a true medical problem. It’s not just a cosmetic thing.” “But I’ve been through crap too,” you say. Don’t we all deal with our pain differently? Some turn to drugs, smoking, cutting, or in this case, food. Some hold in the pain, only for it to come out in their negative actions toward others. We all find some sort of outlet; and for our society, food is the easiest to access as a “drug;” especially with the kind of processed food being marketed and sold everywhere. And because it is so accessible, and because we all must eat, once the addiction begins, it is difficult to stop. People who medicate with food do not choose this path; it comes down to upbringing, past traumas, and habits. Guy Poindestre states in “Fat Doctor,” Series 2 Episode 5, “I am at my wits end with my eating problem. It is a problem that yes, some people could say is self-inflicted But is smoking or is being an alcoholic or being a crack addict something that is self-inflicted? I consider my addiction to food the same way. I have a food problem. I am addicted to it.” Illness Little do we recognize that there is more that comes into play than just “calories in, calories out.” Our bodies are more complex than a simple math equation. Bariatric surgeon Shaw Summers says this: “The reason why some people are big and others can eat the same amount of food and not get big is wrapped up a whole host of different factors–from things you can’t influence like genetics and your metabolism, to things you can influence like your mood, your habits, your environment, your upbringing–all of these things impact on how you relate to food and how food forms part of your life and we still don’t understand fully how we influence that apart from to do something to the intestinal system that makes it difficult to continue doing it. It would be lovely not to have to do this kind of operation [bariatric surgery] on people.” (“Fat Doctor,” Series 3 Episode 7) Obesity is not a measure of control. It is a disease, an illness. It can be classified as a mental illness; a result of a difficult past, abuse, trauma, or simply a way of growing up. After trying to overcome emotional or physical abuse from the past, these people have to endure more emotional abuse from their outside criticizers. Can you imagine trying to lose weight through all of that? How would you feel if you were dying of cancer, only to have people to pointing fingers and telling you it’s your fault, that you put yourself in this position, that you just need to “buck up and get some willpower”? That is the kind of message we are sending in society. A Voice Unheard As much as others try, some will never reach the “right size” that our nation deems acceptable for our bodies. And perhaps that in itself–that unattainable goal–starts the binge-purge, restrict-binge cycle of eating disorders also happening (but not as well recognized) in larger people. The thinnest bodies are not always the ones with the eating disorders. In “Fat Doctor,” Series 3 Episode 1, morbidly obese patient Jean Marie signs up for bariatric surgery and explains her relationship with food to the therapist: “If I hated anything in life, it would be food. My relationship with food is bad,” she says. And when she goes in to talk to a therapist, she admits to her own past of dealing with an eating disorder: “Well I would starve myself–“ “Throughout the day?” “Well it would be for two or three days and then I would binge, and then I would purge, I would want to be sick. And as I got older and older, I would get good at hiding it from everyone.” Eating disorders don’t always come in packages of 85-lb girls. What makes an eating disorder perhaps more difficult for the obese, is that we discriminate against them in a way that connects their plight to willpower and discipline. The same way we may tell an anorexic to “just eat more,” plays out the same in an obese person when we say “just eat less.” Summers says this of the weight discrimination: “The general attitude in society is that obesity is a self-created problem and that people could and should lose weight by themselves if they put their minds to it. I think that indicates a complete failure of understanding. The prejudice that these people feel is extreme at times.” This is what made my eating disorder embarrassing to fess up to. I didn’t want to admit that I hoarded food, that I stole it, that my “discipline” (anorexia) turned into disaster (binge eating) when I was alone with food. How could I be so disciplined in so many aspects in my life, know so much about food, and still not be able to turn away from that extra cupcake, to be able to stop eating “so much,” to get my appetite under control? Wouldn’t people just tell me to “get my act together”? Shame into Sympathy I think that if I hadn’t gone through my eating disorder, if I hadn’t gained back the weight, I would not have understood part of the plight of the overweight. I guess it’s true when they say your own shame will help you to sympathize. I think what makes weightism such a passionate subject for me, is not only realizing the discrimination I’ve projected onto others growing up, but also using those same negative comments toward myself. I have been my own bully. I cannot say that I know exactly what it is like to be overweight, but I feel like I understand what those people are saying when they talk about how they feel food controls their life, that they would do anything to get out of it. And while I feel like people are staring at my weight, appalled, in reality, as a “normal”-sized woman, it is most likely not true. I have not experienced first-hand weight discrimination. But my eyes have been opened. All that I ask is for us as a society is to see any issue–depression, obesity, cutting; any method of self-harm or any outward appearance–as not something we ask for or put upon ourselves, but as something we deal with to rid ourselves of internal pain. This is our pain. The overweight have endured it, and are left carry this pain in a world that is still coming to grips with the stigma and misconceptions of mental illness and eating disorders.

I especially like the ending where you say that the eating disorder made you more empathetic toward overweight people. I have had many moments of awakening like that in my own life with regard to other issues. I am very grateful for those moments now (even though they sucked at the time) because they’ve made me a more thoughtful person today. So here’s to more difficult, but necessary, lessons! This is such an important issue, thanks for touching on it with such honesty. It’s hard to admit our own prejudices and the “fat-bias” is almost an accepted one. I don’t know if you’ve ever checked out the blog Dances With Fat, but she has some GREAT information, truly insightful! I really appreciate you dealing with the flip side of the unhealthy relationship with food. I think it is important for all people dealing with mental illnesses that they are the first people that can end the stigma associated with what other people may have become afflicted with. Have you ever seen the British TV show ‘My Mad Fat Diary’? It is about high school aged kids and is a bit cheesing, but I think accurately depicts the struggle with self-hate. While I’m not in the same position as those you’ve talked about in “Fat Doctor” and other shows such as my 600lb life. I can personally attest to what you’re saying. I’m a 33 year old female and I’ve struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. I’m currently 224 lbs. The lowest I can Remer myself being was about 170 in my very early 20’s. And it’s not for a lack of trying or will power. I’ve dabbled in fasting, twice in my life not eating so much as a crumb for a full 2 weeks, nothing buy water. And I can walk forIles on end, a year and a half ago I was jogging 3 miles several days a week but could never get lower than 180. A couple days ago a jogged a mile. People look at me and see fat (or at least I feel like they do), and like you said, to most people fat means lazy and no willpower. But I can jog and walk longer than thinner people I know and have been a vegetarian for 3 years (and that really takes some willpower at first, lol). My point is I am more than this gut that I can never seem to get rid of no matter how I try. The saddest part for me though, and why fat shaming is such an important issue, isn’t hat in think that’s was a large part in making me what I am. I was bullied horribly all through school. I remember I was in THIRD FREAKING GRADE the first time I accidentally overheard my 2 best friends talking about me and that is one my self loathing and began. I remember a particular moment in 7th grade when I was called a fat cow. I came across a picture from a high school dance recently though, and ya know what? I wasn’t that fat. I was bigger than most other girls my age, but it was a totally reasonable weight. But I was different enough that it led to merciless bullying and that was enough to convince me my peers were right; I was fat, ugly, and unworthy of their respect. I think it became a self fulfilled prophecy of sorts…I grew up to become the image of myself I always had in my head. What I wouldn’t give tong back in time and tell that little girl, my younger self, that she was ok. She wasn’t disgusting, she was healthy and fit, she could run better than other girls her age in gym class. That she’d get through that awkward phase and find kindness and acceptance on the other side. Instead she struggled alone in silence and turns to cutting, purging, starving and more self hatred for herself than any others could throw at her. I know how bad it feels, and I’m going to share this article because in think awareness needs to spread and you spoke of it so very well. Thank you. Thank you so much for commenting and sharing your story! And no apologies for the length. :) Thinking of you and sending positive vibes! It’s a long struggle due to society’s views on weight/appearance.

David Canabarro David José Martins, known as David Canabarro, (born on August 22 1796 in Taquari) was a Brazilian general. He died in 1867 in Santana do Livramento. Biography Canabarro had ancestry from the Azores region of Portugal. He was born to José Martins Coelho of Porto Alegre and Dona Mariana de Jesus Ignacia of Santa Catarina Island. The surname "Canabarro" came from his grandfather, Manuel Teodósio Ferreira, who received the nickname Marquis Alegrete and added this title to his name. Early military career Campaigns against Artigas Canabarro began his military career in the First campaign cisplatin in 1811–1812. David, at the age of fifteen, asked his father's permission to take his brother's place. Canabarro fought for the forces of noble Don Diogo de Sousa, conde de Rio Pardo. After the campaign he was promoted to Ensign and returned home, though later he would fight in the War Artigas from 1816 to 1820. Cisplatine War Years later he was a lieutenant in the forces of Bento Gonçalves in the Cisplatine War in 1825–1828, which culminated in a peace treaty in August 1828 and the independence of Uruguay. There he played an important role in the Battle of Rincon de las Gallinas, saving the Brazilian army on September 24, 1825. This earned him the title of Army lieutenant. He took part in the 21st Light Cavalry Brigade commanded by Bento Gonçalves and the undecided Battle of the Pass of Rosario. When the war ended, he continued his military career, this time associated with his uncle Antonio Ferreira Canabarro in the resort border of Santana of Deliverance. By 1836, he adopted the name David Canabarro at the insistence of his uncle. As suggested by historian Ivo santanese Caggiano: "he must have had some connection with the axes and ferreiras of Sabrosa. Consequently, the descendants of the noble Canavarros of Portugal must be the Canabarro of Brazil." Ragamuffin War Canabarro was initially neutral in the Ragamuffin War. He later enlisted as a lieutenant, but quickly rose through the ranks, and took command in June 1843, when Bento Gonçalves (to avoid a split among Republicans) quit the command and went on to serve under the orders of Canabarro. His only defeat in war was in the Battle of Porongos, which relaxed the peace negotiations he undertook with the Baron de Caxias. He was surprised by the troops of Mouringue and was defeated, notwithstanding his possession of the Black Lancers. While negotiating peace with the empire, Canabarro offered his services to Juan Manuel de Rosas, ruler of Argentina, who wanted to expand the borders of his country. In exchange for the cooperation of Ragamuffin, he would get help from Argentina to continue the battle against the empire. Canabarro responded by letter, where he stated his loyalty to the country. As head of the rebels he accepted the amnesty offered by the government in December 18, 1844 by the Duque de Caxias, called "the Peacemaker". In the negotiations on February 25, 1845, it was agreed that Republicans would choose the next president of the province. It was also agreed that the imperial government would be held to account for the republican government's debt; that rebel military officers who wished to join the imperial army would remain in their former posts, and that the prisoners would be pardoned. The Brazilian army Canabarro fought in the War against Rosas and in the War against Aguirre, receiving the title of honorary general with which he fought the invaders in the Paraguayan War. Representations in popular culture David Canabarro has been portrayed as a character in film and television, played by Milton Mattos in the movie Netto Loses His Soul (2001), and by Oscar Simch in the miniseries The House of Seven Women (2003).

Q: why am i getting a java.util.ConcurrentModificationException in the advanced for loop? Unlike other exception scenarios I've seen, the exception I keep getting happens at the for loop I commented below with //where it goes wrong//. And in my implementation, the List partialR doesn't change while I iterate it, so I am really confused. public class Solution { public List<List<Integer>> permute(int[] nums) { List<List<Integer>> result = new ArrayList<>(); result.add(new ArrayList<Integer>()); return permute(nums, 0, result); } public List<List<Integer>> permute(int[] nums, int i, List<List<Integer>> result){ if (i == nums.length){ return result; } int num = nums[i]; List<List<Integer>> partialR = permute(nums, i+1, result); System.out.println("partialR"+partialR); for (List<Integer> t : partialR){***//where it goes wrong//*** System.out.println("t"+t); for (int j=0; j <= t.size(); j++){ System.out.println("j="+j); List<Integer> subs = insert(t,num,j); result.add(subs); System.out.println("result"+result); } } System.out.println("result"); return result; } public List<Integer> insert(List<Integer> t, int num, int j){ List<Integer> temp = new ArrayList<>(); if (j == 0){ temp.add(num); temp.addAll(t); System.out.println("temp"+temp); return temp; }else if(j == t.size()){ temp.addAll(t); temp.add(num); return temp; } List<Integer> temp1 = new ArrayList<Integer> (t.subList(j,t.size()-1)); List<Integer> temp2 = new ArrayList<Integer> (t.subList(0,j-1)); temp.addAll(temp1); temp.add(num); temp.addAll(temp2); return temp; } } A: You pass result to permute, and it returns result. So when you do this: List<List<Integer>> partialR = permute(nums, i+1, result); Now partialR points to result too. And then when you iterate over it with for (List<Integer> t : partialR), you modify result when you do result.add(subs). So in effect, you're modifying result while you're iterating over it, which is not allowed by the fail-fast behavior of iterators in Java. (You can read more about this in the javadoc of ConcurrentModificationException.) You could fix this by creating a new ArrayList here: List<List<Integer>> partialR = new ArrayList<>(permute(nums, i + 1, result)); There are some other mistakes too, unrelated to the concurrent modification. In insert, the range of values to create temp1 and temp2 are incorrect. Corrected and simplified, you can write: List<Integer> temp1 = t.subList(j, t.size()); List<Integer> temp2 = t.subList(0, j);

Celine Dion has taken legal action to force the closure of a blog publishing silly photographs of her, according to reports. Our Lady of Histrionics took offence to the website Ridiculous Pictures of Celine Dion, dispatching her lawyers with a cease and desist order. "Celine Dion found our blog, and she didn't like it," said Nick Angiolillo, who founded the site. His concept was simple: posting ridiculous pictures of Celine Dion. But after months of rejoicing in her snarls, grins and grimaces, he received an unsympathetic letter last week. "Do you think i'm in celine dion's burn book?" he asked on Twitter. "Remember that time i ran the most popular celine dion blog on the internet and her lawyers forced me to shut it down?" While Angiolillo hasn't gone into the details of Dion's complaint, he insists the copyrighted images were "well within the realm of 'fair use'". He claims money, not principle, forced him to delete the archives and post a goodbye message. "The dream is over," he wrote. "I can't afford even 1 hour of a lawyer's time to draft a [reply] letter for me." On the bright side, Angiolillo intends to frame the letter from Dion's lawyers. And he still runs the blog Star Jones in Hats, featuring images of US TV personality Star Jones wearing a succession of hats. But the blogger may have had the last laugh. At some point, on whatever diamond-encrusted laptop Celine Dion uses to surf the web, she must have come across Angiolillo's site. And in that moment, we can imagine, her face was – oh yes – ridiculous indeed.
