You guys seems to forget one of the golden rules of stock trading - "Buy on the news, sell on the rumors" Sure there a lot of rumors are going around and this caused some hopeful investors to jump on board yesterday but the point is, without actual good news, this will again go down to $1.30 area where it found a good resistance. There is nothing to sustain it at higher levels but the rumors. I know I wouldn't trust my money on someone telling me that EU approved it (which is clearly not the case, it was not even submitted to Europe yet) or that company is going to appeal to FDA, or that aliens came to visit Alimera and dumped $5,000,000,000.00 on their steps. Just saying, be smart with your money and learn when to take a profit, don't get too greedy
Before the rumors started this was being accumulated for no reason, something is up.
Ya just like it was also sold off at faster rate, hence the price decline. Where did you all learn how to trade? Please tell me so I could avoid it. The point is, you guys are forcing yourself to find something good about your investment and not being unbiased. Can't trade with emotions
thats what bashers say.. this is going north of 2 today. some loosers sold this stock in the morning based on what saints like you said.
Haha ok. Good luck to you and I mean it. I have no position in this company so I am impartial.

Director: Tommy Kaye
Company: Puritan Video Productions

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
This soaring smut fest is festooned with fantasy sex scenes from girls of a very high caliber of poon.
The opening scene features Dora in judicial robes leering down at two studly defendants, Gotti and Terminator, like David Blaine at a fashion show. She soon imagines what a brief recess in her chambers with these two hammer-wielding studs would be like. They then perform some serviceable pussy fingering on her honor. The heat increases when she gives a double b.j. with style. The sexed up defendants make for an unusually nasty writ of habeas corpus, delivering a pulse quickening reverse cowgirl d.p. No sooner do the boys cream her face than the case is dismissed.

Anniversary of the Petition of Right: Essential Part of American HistoryWritten by Joe Wolverton, II, J.D.
Several landmark documents from English history have contributed significantly to our own Constitution bulwark of liberty. One of these documents just celebrated a birthday.
In the year 1930, the city of Tiflis (now Tbilisi) was a captive capital. The ancient city in the heart of the Caucasus, with its mountain scenery and splendid architecture, was enduring, with the rest of the Soviet Union, the onset of Stalin's reign of terror. As elsewhere in the Soviet Union, ordinary people had become practiced in the arts of sullen self-preservation. Perhaps that was why no one offered to help the men working to extricate one of their party from an overturned car before the badly damaged vehicle burst into flames. The men wore business suits and spoke English, though few of the passersby recognized the unfamiliar tongue. The man trapped in the car, on the other hand, was a feral-faced communist "handler," a man with considerable clout in the Soviet government.
Even in peacetime, government lies are so commonplace as to hardly be news. During wartime, however, the government fib fabricator goes into overdrive — as does the coverup machinery. Decades may pass before wartime lies are exposed, and even more time may elapse before the government admits to having deceived the public.
Bane of the Barbary PiratesWritten by Jack Kenny
When Thomas Jefferson became the third President of the United States on March 4, 1801, there was but a fleeting hint of warning in his Inaugural Address about dangers to the young Republic from distant forces abroad. America would pursue "peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none," he proclaimed. But he also asked for "that guidance and support which may enable us to steer with safety the vessel in which we are all embarked amidst the conflicting elements of a troubled world."
In 1914, when the Old World was at war, the New, unaware of the designs of its political and financial leaders, expected to stay out of the latest European upheaval. American public opinion was firmly opposed to violating in any way our neutral posture, which meant that America's young men were still graduating from high school, going to college, and finding gainful employment. One such crop of optimistic youth was enduring a philosophy class at the University of North Carolina, an exercise in sophistry taught by the venerable but insufferable Horace Williams. Professor Williams' class, we may imagine, was typical for the time: a couple dozen well-groomed young men and a few young women sitting at buckling wooden desks made in the previous century, trying to grasp the contradictory axioms imparted by the tweedy, subversive Williams.

We had stayed at this establishment many years ago & it was nice.....NOT ANY MORE!
Our first room had a toilet that would not flush, shower curtain was filthy (mold and soap scum) the mini frig freezer section was covered in ice - no room to store anything. The night manager changed our room. In the second room the toilet worked but the shower curtain had same issues - filthy and the frig in this room had a freezer that had its door frozen shut & when we finally got it open it was full of food from a previous guest - again it was obvious no one even attempted to clean it. We once again informed the manager & asked to have someone clean it while we went to dinner. Apparently there was no housekeeping staff working in the evening so the manager changed our room for a third time. Unfortunately this room was no different. Filthy shower curtain (mold & soap scum) & dirty shower walls. Also bathroom wallpaper was badly peeling which would not be a deal breaker by itself. Freezer section of refrigerator in this third room was also full of frost & ice - couldn't use. Lamps in this room were quite dusty as well. At this point we were quite tired of changing rooms. I have to use a cane & all this going up & down the stairs was a bit much. We just needed to sleep (thankfully the beds were clean) so we stayed in this room. We used 2 different stairwells during our stay to get to our various rooms - carpeting in both were filthy - not only stained but visible removable dirt - had not been vacuumed in some time.
We did not eat the free breakfast - we didn't want to take a chance. We could only imagine how filthy their kitchen might be.
Upon checkout I once again expressed our disappointment, this time to the daytime manager, as I felt we should have been compensated somehow. He said he would talk to housekeeping, but was otherwise indifferent to our situation. We had to pay $130 plus tax for this horrible experience. It's just not right!

In 1904, Dresbach1 reported the case of a mulatto, aged 22, whose blood, otherwise normal, showed a striking morphologic change, in that 90 per cent. of the erythrocytes were oval or elliptic in outline. The width of the misshapen cells varied between 3.9 and 4.8 microns, the length between 8.5 and 10.7 microns. The patient was in perfect health at the time the observations were made. In 1914, Bishop2 reported a similar case in a white man, aged 41, who presented himself for treatment on account of acute appendicitis. Aside from the leukocytosis associated with acute inflammation, the blood presented no abnormality other than the presence of from 75 to 80 per cent. of oval and elliptic erythrocytes. Repeated examinations of the blood over a period of eight months showed no variation in the form of the red cells. The blood of one of this patient's sisters showed

I've been meaning to mention this for a while now but I love the colour scheme you use. It somehow makes it look old timey in the best way possible. And it works for the golden trio too since their escapades took place in the early 90s.
Aw, you always draw so beautifully. I hate commenting because I can never describe what I like about a pic. Probably because I am no artist. But the only thing is I can't really see her blush. Still, loved it so much.
Yes, especially for Mr. Potter.
LOVE THEM! that's somethin James would do!
I loooove this!
your work is always so amazing♥

Public Preferences for Land uses' changes - valuing urban regeneration projects at the Venice Arsenale
This paper discusses the results of a conjoint analysis study developed to assess alternative land uses for an important part of the city of Venice: its Arsenal. Aim of the study is to illustrate the potential of stated preferences techniques for placing a value on redevelopment and reuse alternatives for an underutilized site with high historical, cultural and architectural significance. Very few studies have used conjoint choice to assess public preferences for alternative land uses in an ex-ante framework, i.e. masterplans. For our study, we wanted to concentrate on a "city of art," where the relationship between cultural heritage resources management and city development is more critical. Venice was an obvious choice for the national and international relevance of its heritage. The Arsenale is one of the few places in Venice that has the potential for a real transformation of its uses, with important impacts on both residents and visitors. Moreover, the Arsenale plays a strong symbolic role: it was the place where the strength and power of the Serenissima was built. The City Council of Venice has recently deliberated that the Arsenale is an inalienable heritage of the city of Venice. In recent years, the importance of the Arsenale has resulted in a heated debate on its possible new uses. Many architectural proposals have been submitted through international competitions. These proposals—whether submitted in the past or currently under consideration—have shown that there may be a conflict between different possible land uses and the transformation allowed by the existing architectural structures. We surveyed individuals in Venice asking respondents to engage in conjoint choice tasks, gathering 168 usable observations. Members of the general public were intercepted at the Multimedia Library at Palazzo Querini Stampalia/FEEM and asked to indicate which choice they preferrd among hypothetical—but realistic—redevelopment projects of the Arsenale historic site. Each project was described by a vector of attributes, such as land use, use of basins and waterways, architectural features, access, employment implied by the reuse, and cost. The responses to these choice tasks was used to infer the rate at which respondents trade off land uses, aesthetic features, and costs, and hence to derive the value of marginal changes in the attributes, and the value of a proposed policy package. The Venice Arsenale is owned by the Italian government and is currently used by the Italian Navy. The Arsenale site accounts for about 15 percent of the area of the city of Venice (about 45 hectares), and is located in the Castello district. Tradition has it that doge Ordefalo Falier founded the Arsenale—a shipbuilding yard—in 1104. In 1340 the "Darsena Nuova" was created, which marked the birth of the Arsenal Nuovo and of the Corderie building. Further expansion started in 1473, covering an area of 26 hectares. This phase lasted more than 100 years, resulting in the construction of the New Corderie building, among others, in 1591. In its heyday, the Arsenale employed roughly 20,000 workers in an assembly-line fashion and produced one ship a day. The Arsenale, after the navy largely withdrew from the complex over 40 years ago, suffered from abandonment and under use. The Arsenale is, therefore, one of the few places in Venice that has the potential for a real transformation of its uses. In this paper we investigate how the development of the Arsenale site, involving alternative land uses, may influence the welfare of the residents of the historical city center of Venice. Starting from the evidence of our survey in Venice, the paper broaden its scope to discuss ways of improving the management of cultural heritage cities, focusing on new forms of involvement and public participation based on public preferences' elicitation. We debate the issues related to city governance and the need for an appropriate level of democratic participation. An integrated approach, capable of bridging the practice of economic valuation, urban design, conservation of the built environment, and decision-making support systems is here analysed.

Morgan replaces injured Brunt
Follow England women's progress on ecb.co.uk - click here for exclusive interviews and videos, latest news, match reports and more
Beth Morgan has been called into England women's squad for the remainder of their limited-overs matches in South Africa after pace bowler Katherine Brunt was ruled out of the tour through injury.
Brunt, 26, is suffering from a back injury and bowled only two overs in England's win in the opening one-day international in Potchefstroom yesterday before being forced out of the attack.
She will return to England for further assessment and treatment, providing an opportunity for 30-year-old Morgan, a veteran of 72 ODIs and 25 Twenty20 internationals, to impress.
The second and third one-day internationals take place at the same venue tomorrow and on Tuesday, followed by three T20 matches also in Potchefstroom.

Forget the Alabama, Songbird belongs in the Travers
Songbird's romp in the Coaching Club American Oaks, dominating the best fillies in the East, established beyond any argument that she is the best female of her generation. The only thing left for her to prove is she is the best of her generation of either gender by running in the Travers on Aug. 27 instead of the Alabama on Aug. 20.

Delaware 'Cap is Bayern redux
Another big race has ended in controversy over an objection/claim of foul. I'm a Chatterbox did essentially the same thing in last Saturday's Delaware Handicap that Bayern did in the 2014 Breeders' Cup Classic. She took out three horses by breaking inward. The stewards left the result "as is." This was as wrong Saturday as it was in 2014. DQ's and non-DQ's continue to be a source of controversy, which harm trust in the integrity of the sport. Something has to be done.
MIAMI, July 21, 2016--Instant replay has destroyed the enjoyment of sports. Introduced by the NFL to "get it right" on potentially game-changing erroneous calls, it has devolved into a parody of itself. Interminable delays while deciding whether a receiver's loose shoelace touched the white boundary on a three-yard pass in the middle of the field in the first quarter have become commonplace. Whatever became of the 90-second time limit?
Instant replay has now infected the NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball. Its use in the latter has become as abused as it is in football. Even announcers concede that managers sometimes take a shot because they have nothing to lose. Meanwhile a game, whose hierarchy acknowledges it runs too long, grinds to a halt.
The one sport in which replays have been not only useful but essential in making decisions is horse racing. But I'm beginning to have my doubts about that.

A Legacy That's Worth Leaving
LOS ANGELES, July 28, 2016—Steven Crist's retirement from the Daily Racing Form qualified him as the most newsworthy development of last week. Though better known as a Daily Racing Form executive and columnist, acclaimed author of betting books and influential horseplayer advocate, he had also worked as a New York Racing Assn. executive under then CEO, Kenny Noe Jr.
In a subsequent Q&A interview by the
Thoroughbred Daily News
, Crist candidly described the experience:
"… It was frustrating. I discovered there was this whole political side to the job. Kenny and I took a lot of early morning plane rides up to Albany to talk to dopey legislators. You had to do them favors or give them things. It was just horrible."
Asked about his impact when writing about New York racing and politics, he replied,
"… It's hard to feel any sense of accomplishment. It just gets worse and worse and it doesn't matter what they say… they're never held accountable for anything. What Andrew Cuomo has done, making a deal with NYRA and then taking it back, it's just disgraceful."
Crist's announcement came on the heels of another news-making development made by friend and former DRF colleague, Charles Hayward. The former NYRA CEO garnered
media attention
"the formation of Hayward Advisory Services LLC to assist racing companies grow their business through a strategic planning process and by introducing revenue and cost-saving initiatives."
This is Hayward's next step in an effort to restore his relevance in the wake of attempts to further assassinate his character by minions of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and assorted industry commentators.
In what some observers attribute to the Governor's 'agenda' to optimize state revenues from gambling through casinos at the expense of horse racing in the state, Hayward was fired upon the official discovery of NYRA's incontrovertible failure to lower takeout beyond the legislated sunset date for a temporary state-imposed increase.
Ironically, the wayward Hayward was condemned by e-mails from and to Crist, who had inquired about the issue at the behest of a DRF reader.

A Dubious Challenge to the Dubai World Cup
LOS ANGELES, May 16, 2016—A post-Derby announcement of a revised plan to unseat Dubai as the world's richest Thoroughbred horse race has piqued interest across the Internet.
Two factors are responsible: The first has to do with the novel strategy on how to fund the event, the second because it's the brainchild of Frank Stronach, arguably the most powerful individual in North American racing.
The original "Pegasus World Championship," proposal called for a 10-furlong race with a $12 million purse to be held at either Santa Anita or Gulfstream Park, perhaps in rotation. Obviously both are Stronach properties.
In essence, 12 shares would be sold at $1 million each to investors who then can not only enter the race but also share in ancillary revenues generated by the event.
It's most recent reincarnation embraces Gulfstream--with far lower seating capacity--and the distance will be nine furlongs which unlike the longer race comes with a much shorter run to the first turn.
How would you like to put up a million bucks and draw the 11 or 12 hole?

If Only Saratoga Could Cast Its Spell All Year Long…
ELMONT, NT, July 26, 2016--Thoroughbred racing is no longer The Sport of Kings and its obituary is long overdue: The Sport of Kings is dead. Long live Thoroughbred racing.
Save for the Queen of England, a few of her Lords and the desert Sheikhs, there are no Kings in the Sport of Kings.
Not many of the robber barons that ruled America and set up Thoroughbred racing as their private club are even in the game anymore.
Most of the families that bred the horses whose pedigrees we revered are no longer a major influence in Thoroughbred racing. In fact, they've abandoned it.
Now it lies with us to save it.
I love this game and it's time to call out the deep pocketed no shows and wake up all those who think the game is not on life support.
Thoroughbred racing is a business as is any other sport. If you believe otherwise, I have a bridge in my native county, Brooklyn, that's for sale.
But without support from casinos many of the tracks in this country would not exist. We, as bettors, can no longer support racing by ourselves and it's time we come to grips with that.

Some Minor Growing Pains for New NYRABets Website
ELMONT, NY, July 21,2016--Confusion about whether the New York Racing Association's new national wagering platform, NYRA Bets, would or would not launch tomorrow for opening day at Saratoga Race Course sprung up on twitter this morning.
As it turns out, concerns were overstated--sort of.
Pat McKenna, NYRA Director of Communications for NYRA, clarified the situation with the following statement after being contacted by email.
"NYRA Rewards will officially transition to NYRA Bets on Friday, July 22.
New York State residents and existing customers will immediately be able to watch and wager on nyrabets.com.
A select group of out-of-state customers are a part of our national beta group, helping us work through the final stages prior to full-blown launch.
NYRA Bets will soon be available for customers across the country, and we will have additional guidance on the full, national launch in the coming days."

May the Horseman Be With You
PLEASANT HILL, CA., July 25, 2016--
Firing Line, July 9:
Returning from a long absence, warmed up sore in behind, which likely relates to the reason for the layup He raced poorly and we'll be looking to bet against next time unless horse shows much improvement in post parade.
Private Zone, July 9:
Like Firing Line, a potential bet-against unless he returns to weaker competition. Apparently the new barn doesn't have the same magic touch the previous outfit had.
Runaway Lute, July 16:
Ran an incredible race, missing the break, catching up quickly then ate some dirt. Should beat any state-bred lined up against him but I expect him to be tough to handle in open stakes at Saratoga. So far, the sky's the limit.
She Doesn't Mind, July 17:
Got to the rail from an outside post but it worked to her demise. She got bottled up, jock swung outside turning for home but was behind a wall of horses. When nothing opened, he altered course and finished a good third.
Bella Joy, July 15:
Finished third while full of run following a layoff and getting a big trainer change. Waiting on this one at Saratoga.
Cloontia, July 15:
Should win next condition easily, even if spotted at NY-bred stakes level. Certainly bred right and rates to develop into a consistent stakes performer.

Wrong racing surface
Go to the Cedar Lake race track. Run from the middle groove to the upper groove. Grass will fly from under your wheels instead of dirt. The low groove and the apron have the correct racing surface.
High air ramps
Hit the apron of any race track the correct way with the front tires. The car will fly up in the air spinning you out and possibly flipping over.
Race at the Williams Grove race track. Get close to either the inside or outside walls. You car's rear end will randomly start jumping up and down. It happens more in the upper groove in the turns.

If you have a decent knowledge of electronics, making your own board is a good choice. You'll learn much by doing so.... You need to decide wether or not you're ready for it.There are two big producers of microcontrollers (for robotics atleast):Microchip PIC or Atmel AVR.They are both good choices, and before you ask, there is no "best one". read the FAQ
Preferred features:- new microcontroller- ADC, DAC- Servo support and H-Bridge- Many generic I/O- USB programming, supported by Atmel development tools- RS-232 would be fun- costs around $50 + s&h

Poll: Mexicans More Likely to Come to U.S. if Granted Amnesty
Published on Wed, Oct 14, 2009
The polling wars on immigration reform have officially begun. Today, the Center for Immigration Studies, which aims to restrict immigration to the United States and deport those who are here illegally, sent around the findings of a recent Zogby poll which finds that — surprise! — a majority of Mexicans say they think their friends and family would be more likely to come to the United States if the U.S. granted them permanent legal status. Never mind that no U.S. lawmaker is actually proposing to do that.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 on PC. when the PC is configured to use
DHCP, the pc is accessable through it's
hostname. but when I set
static ip, I can't reach the PC through the hostname.
What is the problem, and how can it be fixed ?
closed as off-topic by Tonny, voretaq7♦ Nov 11 '13 at 17:37
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
It seems that DHCP server is also the DNS server (your router probably).
When you give it a static address it will NOT be registered in the DNS.
Why are you using a static ip-address by the way ? If you want the address to be a fixed value it is better to have the DHCP server assign a reserved address to this Linux machine. And in that case you still profit from the DHCP servers DNS handling.
The way you describe it your DHCP server updates your DNS server when a lease is handed out. In that case, if you're not using DHCP you need to manually configure the hostname in your DNS server.

Overall Experience
Good but not great!
July 25, 2016
Overall this hotel is good and the staff was friendly. The hotel is close to many restaurants and shopping chains. My room was clean and updated, however, the bathroom was unacceptable. Upon check in, I found the toilet had been used recently and had not be cleaned. I notified the front desk and I was moved to another room immediately. Unfortunately, the only 2 rooms available were next to the elevator or lobby...not ideal locations. Makes be wonder if this is an isolated incident or not. Except for this experience, the hotel is relatively nice and a good value in a good location.
Great service!
July 25, 2016
The staff was very helpful in whatever my needs were. Made me feel like I was part of the family.
July 12, 2016
nice room at the government rate - clean - and great access to RSA. comfortable bed. temperature was a little hard to keep set correctly and no spanish channels but overall very nice.
Good experience...brand new mattresses and pillows!
July 11, 2016
Tons of pillow that were brand new and the mattress was replaced while I was staying and I thought that the mattress was already comfortable! Great staff, especially housekeeping staff. Amenities were nice and everything was clean. It did not have a pool and that was disappointing. It also did not have a breakfast or a reception/dinner at night like a lot of other extended stay hotels do.

It is not my intention to discuss in detail the problem of the pathology of smallpox, but only to utilize in so far as practical the knowledge acquired by personal observation and autopsy in the treatment of this disease. The subject of the pathology of smallpox is in itself one of large scope and bearing, and worthy of single effort, Inasmuch as the tendency of medicine at the present day is to build the treatment of disease on the knowledge acquired of anatomic defects, it seems consistent to group the two headings.The pathology of smallpox comprises at least three distinct considerations: First, the conditions arising from the poisonous influences of the variolous contagion itself (mainly purely speculative and relating to black smallpox). Second, the conditions arising from the maturation stage; and third, the incidental complications and sequelæ. In the latter class are considered boils, abscesses, phlegmonous conditions, erysipelas,

Clean, spacious room, friendly and helpful staff; what I expected of this group of hotels
Nice room, good size, good location - very central, Great breakfast.Friendly staff in reception and breakfast restaurant, easy check in, baby crib provided free of charge. Tea, coffee and kettle provided in room free of charge. Great Indian Restaurant accross the road.
Room could have been a bit cleaner, a little dusty and no soap in the bath room (this was replaced the next day by house keeping.) No opening window in the room, There was a mini bar fridge but it was not stocked, there is an Albert Heijns supermarket close to the station so you can stock up on drinks and snacks. Limited room service menu.
perfect location for going out at night
the rooms in the back are pretty noisy, thin walls
The hotel is convenient for the city and only a short walk from the rail and bus stations. Staff were very pleasant and efficient.
My room, 113, was a bit noisy (extractor fan?) and did not have a window to the outside, only onto the atrium.
Free wi-fi available in rooms at the first floor. If you live higher, you have to go with your notebook to the lobby. Room quite small, but very modern. Nice bathroom.
The tasty food in delivered straight to the room was excellent!
None smoking rooms throughout the hotel
I booked a DeLuxe Room. This room was however hardly any bigger or more luxurious than a standard room. Not worth the extra money...
the room is big and very nice
internet in the room have to pay
The location just behind the central station and the fact that is great value for money
It's 3 minutes away from Central Station. Breakfast was OK - however scrumbled eggs made of egg powder it's not something to be proud of.
I stayed there for 3 nights, then I checked out. My flight was cancelled and I tried to come back to HI. Unfortunately, they treated me as regular customer and offered the same price as for all other new customers, not to mention that I am member of HI Priority Reward Club... Very dissapointing!
great parking, temperature management per room, calm, just big enough room, storage could be a little bigger
Perfect location, close to motorway and airport. Superior room is fairly spacy, with movable desk, sofa and set-up great for business traveller. Own restaurant and bar. Choice between room with bath or shower. Wire and wireless internet in room.
Although decent meal is served in hotel restaurant there can be great improvements (vegetables overcooked, French frites too long in fluids). A modern business hotel should not charge for WiFi in the room (although 5 euro is not too bad). Minibar prices too high (EUR 3 for small beer or soda, EUR 3,50 for nuts).
Room designe
Water down in shawer
Closeness to city. the bed was superior.
1. Couldn't get into restaurant for dinner Saturday night. 2. Jacuzzi seat in pool did not work. 3. Heating element did not work in room.4. Had a junior suite. Was next to public parking lot. From 1am till 4:30 am while bars let out loud Houligan behavior in parking lot. I complained to front desk, they could do nothing. very very disappointing
Close to the airport. No for long stay
cozy space. ok for the value.
that was extremely cold....
The staff
Far from city, it is a 4 star hotel but the hotel is actually more like 1 or 2 star hotel, dull room, boring view, the facilities are old
good staff, room clean
Great Location (center of Eindhoven), very helpful staff.
No minibar in the room. Everthing else was in order.
Excellent location, clean room
L great pool and bar
Staff extremely kind & understanding, a place to relax and no one would bother you, unless you required help.A beautiful relaxing place.
Did not realise that we needed to book the restaurant for the evening meal, and had to eat later than we would have like, although again not a problem.
The room looked really cool, very spatious, the bed was heavenly and the bathroom was also very luxurious.
Room was amazing, and so was all the staff. definately come back
It is definitively far too expensive for what it provides.
Responsible and friendly hotel staff, excellent breakfast, and free WiFi! And location was superb too - 5 minutes walking distance from the city centre!
Toilet rooms are too small and they are missing washbasins (it would also be nice if they were located at the same floor as your room is).

Mice Grow Human Kidneys
Dec. 27, 2002 -- Mice have grown new human and pig kidneys. So -- someday -- might you.
It's been possible for some time now to take embryonic stem cells from one kind of animal and transplant them into another. A major problem has been to find stem cells at exactly the right stage of development. Cells that are too young grow into a chaotic jumble of different cell types. Cells that are too old don't adapt to the new species and get rejected by the immune system.
Now scientists report finding just the right time to transplant human and pig stem cells so that they grow into new, working kidneys. Yair Reisner, PhD, of Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science and colleagues report the findings in the Dec. 23 advance online edition of Nature Medicine.
"Our data pinpoint a window of human and pig kidney [organ creation] that may be optimal for human transplantation," the researchers suggest.
Reisner's team transplanted kidney stem cells from human and pig embryos into mice. They found that seven- and eight-week -old human stem cells and four-week-old pig stem cells are best for transplant.
The pig data is perhaps most important, because human fetal tissues are in short supply and pose ethical questions.
Will the human immune system reject newly grown pig kidneys? To get an idea, the researchers grew pig kidneys in mice with no immune systems of their own. They then restored the animals' immunity with human immune cells. The human cells did not attack the newly grown pig kidneys.
No human trials are planned until more studies can be done. But if all goes well, the researchers hope to begin human studies in a few years. Meanwhile, the transplant situation remains critical. In the U.S. there are 50,000 people waiting for new kidneys. This year about 2,000 people died while on the waiting list.

I've developed a Java application using Eclipse. The OS of the computer I used is Win Vista. I'm having trouble when using this application on a Win XP computer. The problem I've detected is:
If in my code I use the following lines:
File source = new File(C:\\Program Files\\);
boolean directory = source.isDirectory();
The value of the variable directory will be set to true in Win Visto and to false in Win XP. In order to get this variable set to true when using Windows XP I need to use the following lines:
File source = new File(C:\\Archivos de Programa\\); (spanish)
boolean directory = source.isDirectory();
However, with these lines the variable will be set to false in Win Vista.
It looks like Win Vista only 'understands' english and Win XP only 'understands' spanish.
Is there any way of solving this problem or do I have to check in my code which option is valid and, depending on that, use one language or the other?

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: May 01st, 1992
Running Time: 75
Director: Eric Edwards
Company: Dreamland Entertainment
Cast: Scott Irish, Heather Lere, Alicia Rio, Mike Horner, Melanie Moore, Diedre Holland, Cassidy (I), Jon Dough, Heidi Nelson
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Of the greatest interest in this good sexvid are a steamy girl/girl scene between covergirl Diedre Holland and Heidi Nelson (here called "Heidi Kcat", and looking ultra-sophisticated), and the hot coupling between Melanie Moore and Jon Dough. There are some really watchable scenes here, especially a touching reunion between Alicia Rio and Mike Horner.
As I watched this tale of intrigue and brothel-dwellers, the word "incomplete" immediately leaped to mind. Why do we always see police chief Jon Dough and strayed wife Melanie Moore just after they've gotten it on? Why is the nice teasing set-up for Alicia Rio (as hooker Sheri) never followed through on? (The way she ices her tits is a sight to behold.) Why waste hooker Jessica (Cassidy) in a solo number for Ron Vogel's benefit? And talk a bout a complicated plot! As near as I can tell, private dick Eric Edwards and brothel owner Diedre Holland are working together to get the goods on Dough before he busts her house. But although snatches of dialogue occasionally refer to this storyline, nobody cares too much about it.
But A Pussy Called Wanda has a slick look, good sex and a nice-looking marketing campaign. I recommend it to stores still seeking out quality new releases.

Is there a unix command or a bash script way to do this?

"Doubt and mistrust are the mere panic of timid imagination, which the steadfast heart will conquer, and the large mind transcend."
Karen Bowden's insight:
From the article: "Decades before the dawn of the positive psychology movement and a century before what neuroscience has taught us about the benefits of optimism, Helen Keller — the remarkable woman who grew up without sight and hearing ... penned a timeless treatise on optimism as a philosophy of life. Simply titled Optimism (public library | free ebook)."
The shortage of digital skills in the current marketplace is unprecedented. It is estimated that over 4.4 million IT jobs will be created around Big Data by 2015; however, only a third of these new jobs will be filled. Martha Lane Fox, the UK's digital inclusion champion, believes over 16 million people in the UK lack the basic digital skills to fully benefit from the Internet. Even Millenials are a matter of concern. In a survey comprising over 800 middle to upper management executives from over 50 industries, nearly one in five Millenials in the modern workplace are perceived to be lacking in analytical skills.
The reasons driving this skills shortage are not hard to identify. The usage of mobile, social and analytical tools is permeating the length and breadth of every function across the organization. Unlike the past, the impact of these digital technologies and tools is felt not just in the IT department. This means that the magnitude of training and re-skilling thatis required is enormous. Moreover, each new technology cycle has brought forth new requirements and these cycles are increasingly getting shorter. Employees must now refresh their skills more frequently if they wish to stay relevant in this rapidly changing digital environment. The head of India R&D Labs of software firm SAP succinctly states: "The shelf life of a software engineer today is no more than that of a cricketer – about 15 years. The 20-year-old guys provide me more value than the 35-year-olds do.
Organizations are beginning to recognize the magnitude of the problem. Our own research with the MIT Center for Digital Business has revealed that 77% of companies considered missing digital skills as the key hurdle to their digital transformation. Digital leaders or 'Digirati' a are already investing in digital skills and reaping significant benefits in comparison to other companies (see Figure 1). On average, 'Digirati' are
26% more profitable than their industry competitors.
This skills shortage is creating a 'war for talent', where companies have to compete for the best talent with new categories of players. Unlike in the past, the hunt for the best talent is no more limited to localized skills in certain departments. In this case, the talent war is manifest across the entire organization. The important questions are: Do organizations include digital skills as a key component in their workforce plans? Are HR departments equipped and skilled to bring innovative solutions to bridge the digital skills gap? How are Digiratis developing digital skills?

"It is no longer sufficient that you think of your job as doing what you have constantly done for many years. If you have that mindset long enough then software will be developed to do what you do making you redundant." Terry Harrison, past President of INFORMS and Professor at the Penn State University.
Elizabeth Bowden's curator insight, June 1, 10:08 AM
The Human Resources Function is Not Actively Involved in Digital Skills Development - An added challenge appears to be the fact that HR is not in the driver's seat when it comes to steering digital skills development. We found that only 30% of organizations have mentioned HR as being actively involved in skills development. So, the question remains who is managing the transformation of skills if it is not HR? In over 60% of the companies we surveyed, it was the senior leadership, IT division, functional teams and employees who were spearheading digital skills development .
