This invention relates to hand-writing and to the new kinds of computers with screens on which the user can write like on paper. The invention presents a system based on such computers for a hand-writing practicing system.
Currently there start to appear in the market "write-in" computers, which in this text means a computer that has a screen on which the user can "write" using a stylus, as if writing on paper with a pen. The movements of the stylus are sensed by the screen and passed to the software, which can then manipulate them as it wishes. There are already such tablets in the market, for example the "Tablet PC"(RTM) concept from Microsoft(RTM). Some of these systems, and in the future probably most of them, come with software that can interpret hand-writing, i.e. identify letters in it.
Hand-writing is a skill that most adults have, but in a varying degree. Some people have a neat hand-writing, while others have hand-writing which is almost impossible to read. Many people can gain a lot by improving their hand-writing. This is specially true for users of a "write-in" computers, because it will mean that the computer will do less mistakes when it tries to interpret their hand-writing.
The application PCT/US98/01210 (Agent Based Curricula, Inc. 1998) introduces a system for practicing drawing of figures, based on the idea that the user is presented a figure, and then tries to retrace it. The current invention describes a similar idea, with new features that make it specially useful for practicing hand-writing and developing new styles of hand-writing both for personal use and for commercial use.
According to the current invention, the hand-writing practicing system is implemented by a software running on a "write-in" computer. The software presents to the user an original script, which is some text written in hand-writing. The user writes on top of it, and this is recorded by the software as the user-writing and is displayed as if written on top the original script. By tracking the lines of the original script, the user practices the right movements to achieve a hand-writing which is similar to the original script.
The original script is written in a good hand-writing. A hand-writing can be good according to various criteria. The most obvious criteria are that the hand-writing is readable (for humans or computers) and aesthetic, but other criteria, like being distinctive, easy to write fast or compact, are also desirable and in some cases may be as important as readability and aesthetics. To be as useful as possible, the software is accompanied by many texts, each one of them written by a good hand-writing according to one or more of the criteria. The user can then select of these texts what is the hand-writing that they want to practice, according to their idea of what "good hand-writing" means.
The texts are kept in a format that also allows specification of the locations of occurrences of characters in the text, and all the occurrences of characters in the scripts are specified in this way, so the software knows where each occurrence of a character in the original text is. Using this knowledge the software gives the user a way to perform character-specific manipulation. This includes changing the appearance of any individual occurrence of a character in the text, but more importantly, it includes changing the appearance of all the occurrences of some character inside a selected part of the text. For example, the user may change the shape of all the occurrences of 'a', or change all the uppercase letters to red.
The choice of original script is not limited to the scripts supplied with the software, and the user can use as the original script any document they like. For example, the user may write slowly and carefully some text, and then use this as the original script, thus increasing the consistency and speed of their writing, without losing their individual style. Alternatively, the user an select some script with a hand-writing they like, practice on it for a while, and then use the result as the original script. In this way they can create their hand-writing, starting from a good base. Other options include getting texts from friends, picking texts from the internet and buying from professional designers of hand-writing styles, who may be using the software to create styles of hand-writing. Such professional designers may be selling their designed hand-writing to be used with the system which is described here, but they may also be using the system to create stylish hand-writing for other purposes.
The software allows the user to manipulate them separately. This includes editing (e.g. erasing part of the text), zooming in and out, translation etc. In particular it includes changing the colour and transparency of either of them, and typically they are displayed in different colours, which makes it easier to compare them. The software also allows various other changes, like various transformations (scale, rotate, skew etc.) and expanding or contracting the drawn area.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described.
The embodiment is based on "Tablet PC"(RTM). The software is specially written. The software comes with many scripts written in good hand-writing.
The scripts can be kept in the standard format, where each character is some code which identifies a glyph in a font, and to use fonts which contain glyphs of hand-written characters rather than typed characters. This, however, is quite restrictive and does not allow the users to make scripts with their own hand writing, so the system uses a new kind of representation of the text. This representation is an image of the text and specification of the location and identity of each character in the text. The system has the ability to read, manipulate and produce texts which are kept in this format. Since texts that come from other software would be in the standard format, the software is also able to read standard formats files and convert them to the image plus locations format. Typically, many of the texts that come with the software are in this format, and hence can be more variable than the range that can be achieved using the standard format with fonts.
The option of character-specific manipulating is available for manipulating both the original script and the user-writing. In the case of the user-writing, this requires the software to identify characters in the user-writing. However, since the user-writing is supposed to match the original script, the system simply takes the user-writing inside the area of a character in the original script as a matching character in the user-writing. In addition, the system gives the user the option to mark part of the area of the text by enclosing it with a stylus movement around it, and then to indicate to the software that the drawing in the enclosed area is a specific character or a specific sequence of characters. In this way, the user can correct mistakes or inaccuracies that the software does in the identification of characters.
The user may decide that they want to modify the original script, because they want to practice a hand-writing which is similar to the original script, but different in some respects. Typically the change is a difference in the way one of the characters is written. To facilitate this, the software allows the user to edit the shape of a character, in a standard bitmap editing tool. Typically, the user will select an individual occurrence of the character as the starting shape and then modify it, but the software allows the user to start from scratch. Once the user specifies the new shape, the software changes all the occurrences of this character in a selected part of the script to the new shape.
The exact shape of a character may be variable between occurrences, typically depending on the characters that precede and follow it. Thus the system may give the user an option to define the shape of a character in a specific context, typically by letting the user specify a set of preceding characters and a set of following characters and the shape of the character when it preceded and followed by characters from the respective sets. Another possibility is to let the user specify the shape of sequences of characters, including the shapes of complete words.
The software allows the user to use their own user-writing as original scripts. In this case, if the user wants to use character-specific manipulations, the software needs to identify characters in the user-writing. As described above, the user can mark parts of the script and indicate to the software which character they contain, but this process is extremely time-consuming and tedious, so the software first tries to identify characters using the interface that comes with Tablet PC, and then let the user check it and correct any mistakes.
To make it easier for the user to see where they are going wrong, the software has an option to compare the user-writing and the original script. The software checks for each letter how much the user-writing diverge from the original script, and if the divergence is larger than some threshold mark the letter in some way (e.g. underlines it or changes the background around it). Some kind of weighted summation over the divergences of all the letters is used as a mark of how close the user-writing is to the original script. The software gives the user a way to adjust the weights, so the user can indicate that some letters are more important than others.

Watch these unknown terrorists attempt to launch an attack – only to tickle your funny bone.
Even terrorists can make mistakes. This is evidently and painstakingly clear in the video. What starts as a regular day for an average militant soon turns into a nightmare for this particular group.
As their plans to terrorize unfold - or rather crumble into a million little pieces, watch the video to see how this group's internal politics get the best of them and they soon take out their failure on each other.
How frustrating it can be when things don't go according to plan – especially for this lot.

Had To Refund Money Because Cake Disaster Struck Overnight
Decorating By TheSweetestThingCS Updated 17 Oct 2011 , 11:31pm by zukie1977
so first, this lady has been teling me she was going to pay the cake for almost a month now. had many days where she would say "lets meet up around 5, ill call you when im near by" and never called back. she had me on standby about 5 times like that til i gave up and got in my pjs again knowing she wasnt going to come by. i told her i was getting concerned that she wasnt going to pay and i wouldnt start cake until she did. with other people i would have given her the opportunity to pay the day of but since she had failed me so many times i was scared of making the damned cake then she tell me that she cant afford it or whatever. BUT. she paid the day before the event around 5 (she said she was coming at 2) so i had to start baking at 5... i baked and decorated til around 6am. wasnt done with the cake but did most of it before bed and would do finishing touches in the morning. as i wake up to make my son his milk i notice the cake is off to the side.... i put wooden dowels on the cake but when i removed the last tier to see what happend the dowels shifted and made the cake droop on one side. party starts in 3 hours... i dont have time to start over or even fix it for that matter. ive never had a disaster this big... so i called the lady right away explaining what happened. she seemed understanding. she came by to pick up her money. she kept insisting that it was her fault because she made me wait so long. i dont know what to think anymore and i honestly want to quit and stick to making cake toppers. cake making is fun but lately it has been nothing but a pain in my ass. i need a hug but my son is sleeping and my husband is working. ='(
did i mess up? what would you have done??
I would have told her "At this late date I can no longer do your cake. But I can whip up a couple dozen plain cupcakes."
I would have told her "At this late date I can no longer do your cake. But I can whip up a couple dozen plain cupcakes."
Ditto and if even the cupcakes. Rushing last minute work is asking for a fail. Consider it a lesson learned and next time, make sure you get your money in a timely manner, so your not in the same position, having to rush.
(((hugs))) Personally, I would have not done the cake, but you did and what you need to figure out is why it happened. Did you put enough support in? Was the cake leaning on a not level surface? Either of these could cause problems.
oh, lesson learned alright. 1. am i never taking a large last minute cake and 2. im NEVER working with that lady again. shes a "promoter" but i think she has no idea what she is doing. also when she was here i caught her on the phone with a client and she was screaming at her/him! very unprofessional. but yeah, i shouldn't have taken that order.
about structure. i guess i was too tired and dint do it right, i had 4 dowels in like i always do. i dont know what happened but this order just wasnt meant to be. =/
thanks for the hug jennifer! *hug*
**HUGS** I'm so sorry to hear that! I think I've told my husband a dozen times that I'm done, lol. But his suggestion was to be more selective with who you decide to make cakes for...i.e. set the price to where it's worth your while, but not everyone will ask you to make a cake. Or you could take a break and just bake for fun (or family) to work on/improve skills.
Hope you feel better soon!!
Sorry that happened to you. I'm sure it was because you were exhausted when you were making the cake. My work certainly isn't at its best when I'm tired & annoyed. Please don't quit, you make really beautiful cakes. One tip, if you are using dowels, use a level to make sure they are all exactly the same height (though my guess would be that they just went in crooked because you were too tired). Just don't take any last minute orders and you will be fine. Also, I prefer poly-dowels or SPS to wooden dowels unless the tiers are very small.
Next time they come by at 5pm the day before the event, think to yourself that their emergency and lack of planning is not your emergency and shouldn't affect your planning of the next couple of days. Did you charge her labour for working unsociable hours? Whenever I work night shifts at my real job I get paid more than when I work day shifts, why shouldn't that apply to you too?
Next time your reply is, I apologise but at such short notice I am unable to make the cake for your event. Simple. You are not obligated to explain further.
I had a veryy similar incident this summer and I know exactly what your feeling.. It made me pack everything away and quit doing cakes for about 4 months.. I wouldn't even open cakecentral (gasp!) because I didn't want to think about cakes at ALL. My husband said the same as a lot of yours -- that I shouldn't quit because of a few mishaps and bad customers. It's all part of the learning experience, and this may have saved you from a bigger disaster in the future. eventually I missed it so much that I totally regretted quitting and I am starting fresh, with a new and more confident attitude. If someone can't afford my cakes, they don't have to buy it. I'm sick of ppl making me feel like I'm too expensive just because I'm a home baker. A customized cake is obviously an indulgence, otherwise you can get your cake from jewel or Costco. And as far as customers not taking your time and schedule into consideration -- again, not worth it. If your doing something you love, don't let others turn it into a pain in the a**.. Just lean to politely say "no", that is what all professionals do. Some customers seriously act like they are doing you a favor by ordering from you..ugh!!!
Oh and a great big hug from me too! I soo needed a hug when it happened to me, I was so sad and torn.. Hang in there and please don't quit! It's not fair to you at all
So sorry this happened to you. But, if we didn't have a few mishaps along the way, we wouldn't learn, nor appreciate our successes. Chin up! It would be a shame to let your talent go to waste!
So sorry that happened to you, I know that must have been hard! I don't have anything to add about the structure, but like others said, it was probably just because you were tired.
Your customer sounds JUST like one we had a while ago! She kept saying she would call the next day and we could meet somewhere to get the money, but something always kept her from it! This happened multiple times. We FINALLY got the money the day before, but after that one and the stressed it caused, NEVER AGAIN!!! So I know just how you feel!
I'm so sorry you had to go through this and hopefully in the future you will have due dates on any monies due you. I think it is very important to stick to these dates as they will avoid situations like this. Take a deep breath and realize this was a learning experience, an unfortunate one but, a learning experience never the less. Stay with the cakes.
Hi, sorry to hear about that but you might want to start using the SPS system. Which Leah S. swears by and other cakers too. It will eliminate the movement of the cake. Don't quit it has happen to all of us.
hey guys! thanks so much for your support!! i took a much needed nap (accidentally actually) and read all your comments. thanks so much you guys! it was definitely a learning experience and never ever again will EVER make that mistake... AGAIN!
about structure i truly think it was that. i placed them in as i always do but my eyes saw them going in straight when one might have been going in crooked. =/
im not blaming entirely that lady, some people just suck at this stuff, but i know for multiple tiers to give me several time =/ ugh! what a bad one!
but thanks you guys! made me feel a little better coming from other bakers. i will try the SPS next time for sure! thanks again everyone!! *hugs back to you all*
p.s. sorry for the cuss word in my original post. just realized =( rage typing... lol
I use dowels, foil covered so the wood doesn't touch my moist cake. Anyway, I would never put four dowels in a layer, never. In my opinion, they should be placed about every three inches. I use 3/16" for the larger layers and 1/4" for the smaller. Not sure if that was your problem or not....but I think 4 is an accident waiting to happen.

Are you saying you would never put 4 as in that's too many or too few?
I have only seen people put them in a square shaped pattern. What do you mean by placed every 3 inches? Thanks!
Four is not nearly enough in my opinion. If, for example, I'm doing a 14" cake.... I would place them approx. 3" apart in a circle and then put three in the very center of that circle. Good support is critical. Don't place them too close to the edge of the cake either. If I had to guess, mine are in from the edge about 2.5 to 3".
If you put four total in a 14"..... not good. That is just my opinion though. I have never had a cake fall over in the hundreds of weddings I've done in 36 years of decorating.
If you are unsure about how many to use, you can always use the SPS system. Then you won't have a problem.
i know how you might have felt not wanting to knock the business back. Its just one of those things and been there, sitting up to 6am etc etc. Its alot of hard work too and dont think folk really know that. chin up ;o) xx

After many people telling me to read the book Divergent this summer, I decided to actually listen to them. Thinking it was too long i never did until this summer. A few chapters in i noticed that Divergent was actually a fascinating book and a great read, even though I was only a few chapters in. Divergent is probably one of the best made books and by far is one of my favorites.
Divergent takes place in the future of Chicago. It is divided into 5 factions, Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite. All 5 having a special trait, Abnegation is selflessness, Amity is peacefulness, Candor is honesty, Dauntless is bravery, and Erudite is intelligence. The whole story consists of the main character or protagonist, Tris. Tris who grew up being Abnegation has to take the aptitude test to see what faction she belongs in and then make the choice herself of which faction she will be in for the rest of her life. Will she choose Abnegation and please her mom and dad or will she make the choice that will change her life completely and may even lose her familys love. Later on in the book you will discover that Tris made a huge decision and chose Dauntless. A shy girl going from watching the Dauntless jumping in and out of trains to now doing it herself. But was Tris really meant to be Dauntless or should she have stayed in Abnegation?
Throughout the rest of the book the story consists of Tris's new major change of getting use to being in the Dauntless faction, everything that she's known has been completely turned upside down. Dauntless being the opposite of Abnegation, made it a huge struggle in the beginning but that didn't stop Tris. Her major change and journey throughout this book is well written and it won't let you put the book down. From jumping off buildings and trains, getting tattoos,an extreme game of capture the flag, throwing knives, shooting guns, the romantic scenes, trying to be ranked number one, even facing your darkest fears, all the way to an amazing surprise at the end. A huge twisting ending that will put you into shock! She made enemies, friends, and maybe even a special friend and her whole experience with all of them is nothing she has never done before. But is her secret from all of them changing things or will it make her stronger than ever? Being Dauntless is bravery and Tris is brave of enough to be Dauntless.
What if you had to make the decision that chooses the path to the rest of your life? You have one choice, you can't go back, if you quit your poor and factionless, and you have to fight your way to the top. Which faction would you pick? Would you be ready for the test of your life? You choose, you fight, and you either succeed or fail. If you want action, romance, and a thriller then read Divergent.

I have mad respect for ( and awe!) for Tris, but I would not pick Dauntless -- I'm definitely too fearful for that!
I read this book last year and I totally agree, it is one of my favorites! Veronica Roth does a great job with the writing and story line of the book. i loved this book and I'm glad you did too!
If I had to pick a fraction I would pick Dauntless. This is because I would be too bored with the other fractions and Dauntless would have more excitement than being the other four fractions. From what you said in the post it looks like it has a good plot and I think I will give this book a try.
I've heard many great things about this book and this adds to the list! The way you worded this blog pulled me in kind of like you said the book will. I'm definitely thinking of giving this book a try! Great job!
Good job McKenna! I read divergent last year and I loved it! If I had to pick a faction I would probably go with Candor because I think being honest is very important. Overall this post was very well written!
Mckenna, If I had to choose one faction I would choose amity because I would be living in peace every day. This book looks like a good read and I am going to try it soon. Also it seems like this book has a lot of action, and I like action.
This book seems different from what I had heard but after reading your review of it I might consider reading it. It seems very interesting and I think the title makes sense with the course of the book because you're being "divided" amongst the 5 factions, and Divergent practically has the word divide in it.
This is one of my favorite books! This was a really good summary. I would choose Amity if I had to choose one because everyone there is nice
I agree about the book being a great read, this book is also one of my favorites!
I'm currently reading this book, so far its good and your summary makes me want to continue reading! This was a really good summary! Great job!

Have an opinion?
It was literally the uselessness of it all. Public high school taught me many things I simply dumped on a test and purposely forgot for the next test. Then after I graduated, I realized I learned no real skills, nothing that I might need in real life like what the fuck to do if my tire busts and how to fix it myself. I didn't learn what to do if my battery dies, had to figure that out cause I killed it once. Didn't know how to apply for loans, set up a bank account, write a check, balance a checkbook, simple things many adults need to know I never found out in school.
Exactly. Thats why its pointless and nobody likes waking up early in the morning for this shit.
It's the people there
I hate the teacher.
Read these lyrics!
Everything I think about school in 1 song.
Other students. That's literally the only thing.
I hated the predictable schedule. EVERY DAMN DAY GET UP AND GET READY AT 6AM... I passed all my classed and got all my credits out of the way by the 11th grade but I barely attended class. I didn't like getting up that early in the morning so I would skip most of the time and just do make up packets. I passed all of my classes without a problem so it wasn't that serious... :)
Yeup. This is how I felt too

The explosion of investment in big data continues, with global spend expected to reach $114 billion by 2018 according to ABI Research. This forecast includes the money spent on internal salaries, professional services, technology services, internal hardware, and internal software. This investment supports an overwhelming mandate from executives for their organizations to become more data-driven, not only to make better strategic decisions but to gain operational efficiencies that result in higher margins and ultimately benefit shareholders.
Given the strategic imperative from the c-suite to harness the power of big data, why do the majority of these projects fail? Gartner estimates the failure rate to be nearly 60 percent. Similarly, Capgemini finds that only 27 percent of executives believe big data projects succeed and of those only 8 percent are "very" successful.

West Java: Arya Permana, named the world's fattest child, weighs an eye-watering 192 kilograms and eats five meals a day consisting of rice, fish, beef, vegetable soup and Tempeh – a soy patty large enough to feed two adults.
Arya, from West Java Province in Indonesia, has dropped out of school as he can no longer walk and his mother Rokayah said he is 'perpetually hungry'.
'He has an enormous diet and can actually eat meals of two adults at one time,' she said.
'He is always tired and complains of shortness of breath. He only eats and sleeps and when he is not done with both, he jumps into the bathtub and stays there for hours.'
Arya's parents have decided to limit the amount the ten-year-old eats per day and he is now on a diet of just brown rice.
'He can only take small steps before he loses balance. I wish to see my son studying and playing with other kids in the neighborhood.'
Arya, the second son of Rokayah, 35, and her husband Ade Somantri, 45, a farmer, was born at home via natural birth and weighed a normal 3.2 kilograms.
But by the time he turned two years old, Arya had gained weight at an abnormal rate for his age. Despite this, his parents said they were not worried initially as they were happy to see their son 'healthy'.
Rokayah, who also has an elder son Ardi, added: 'He was fatter than my first son and other children in the village but we did not think it was a matter of concern. We were happy to see him fuller and considered him to be a happy, healthy child.'
'But it was only a few years later when he bloated and his weight went out of control, we realized he was suffering from a disorder and needed medical attention.'
Rokayah and Ade took Arya to several doctors in their village in Cipurwasari in West Java, Indonesia, but surprisingly, doctors did not find anything abnormal about his alarming weight.
Father Ade said: 'They asked us to take him to better hospitals if we think he needs medical attention. I have spent money beyond my capacity on his treatment but I am a poor farmer and making ends meet is a big task for me.
'I have insufficient money to buy food to fulfil his large appetite. I borrow money so that he can eat. Of course, I cannot keep him starving.
'I am exhausted now and I cannot afford expensive hospitals. But I hope to see my son perfectly normal one day,' added Ade, who makes £100 a month.

(The second book in the Zack Brewer series)
A novel by Don Brown
Zack Brewer faces a choice. It can prevent the next war. But it will cost the life of the person he loves the most. JAG Officer Zack Brewer's prosecution of three terrorists posing as Navy chaplains was called the 'court martial of the century' by the press. Now, with the limelight behind him, all Zack wants to do is forget. But the radical Islamic organization behind the chaplains has a long memory---and a thirst for revenge. Now the Navy has a need for Zack that eclipses all else. When an unthinkable act of aggression brings Israel and its Arab neighbors to the brink of war, Zack and co-counsel Diane Colcernian are called to the case of a lifetime. As leading nations focus their gaze upon these two, other eyes are watching as well. Zack and Diane are in harm's way. A kidnapping, an ultimatum...and suddenly, Zack faces an impossible choice. If he loses this case, the world could explode into war. If he wins, his partner---the woman he loves---will die. And Zack himself may not survive to make the decision.

The first recorded sighting of eucalyptus trees occurred in the 17th century by explorer Abel Janszoon Tasman on the island of Tasmania. In his journal in 1642, Tasman wrote about witnessing " . . .two trees about 2 1/2 fathoms in thickness, (measuring) from 60-65 ft. from the ground to the lower branches. . . . " Additionally, the tree has been an important part of the Australian Aborigines' lives for thousands of years. Introduced to the Western United States in the 19th century, eucalyptus trees are so prevalent that it's hard to imagine what many Western states would be like without the signature burlesque trunk, pungent antiseptic odor and shade cover qualities of the tree. In addition to providing shade and landscaping, eucalyptus trees are excellent sources of firewood.
Burning Properties
Eucalyptus burns bright and hot, exuding an aromatic fragrance as it burns. It is on par with oak as firewood because of the eucalyptus' density. The best eucalyptus firewood comes from trees at least 10 years old. According to Robert L. Santos at California State University, Stanislaus, a common misconception is that eucalyptus does not generate as much heat as oak and orchard trees. In reality, eucalyptus burns as well other woods, provided the wood has moisture content between 10 and 25 percent.
Santos also notes that it is necessary to split eucalyptus wood soon after initially cutting it. Eucalyptus not split after initial cutting may become too tough to separate into manageable pieces for firewood.
Drying Time
Eucalyptus trees absorb tremendous amounts of water for growth. Therefore, eucalyptus wood that is unseasoned and "green" does not burn well. Proper drying is necessary for eucalyptus firewood. Adequate seasoning time depends on the dryness of the climate, age and density of the wood.
Eucalyptus cords (a unit term for firewood) are more expensive than varieties of wood such as fir and pine. Nevertheless, you get more fire for your buck: A cord of eucalyptus may cost more, but it burns slower and more efficiently.
"Dirty" Tree
For over 100 years, many Californians have called eucalyptus the "dirty" tree because of its perceived wildfire-causing properties. The nickname is well earned; the oil in eucalyptus trees -- especially branches, bark and leaves -- contain flammable oils. These flammable oils contribute to wildfire hazards and to the tree's heat as it is burned as firewood.

Security,Technologies 4 Apr , 2015
A Bomgar-specific Vulnerability Report has been issued May 5, 2015, by CERT under CVE-2015-0935.
Bomgar Remote Support version 14.3.1 and possibly earlier versions deserialize untrusted data without sufficient validation. An unauthenticated attacker can inject arbitrary input to at least one vulnerable PHP file, and authenticated attackers can inject arbitrary input to multiple vulnerable PHP files. When malicious data is deserialized, arbitrary PHP code may be executed in the context of the PHP server process.
This is the same vulnerability which was reported against PHP under CVE-2014-3515.
A security vulnerability has been found in the Bomgar Remote Support Portal version 14.3.1 and earlier versions, which is the part of Bomgar's appliance-based remote support software, deserialize untrusted data without verifying the validity of the resulting data.
"One way to exploit this vulnerability is by utilizing the Tracer class. It is used to write stack trace information to a log using a Logger instance, which wraps an instance of PEAR's Log class. By using a Log_file instance as an instance of Log, it is possible to write the arbitrary data to the arbitrary file." The researcher wrote in his blog post.

|Novel Inhibitors of LuxO to Control Quorum Sensing in Vibrio species
|Svennas, Katarina Lea
|Semmelhack, Martin F.
|Class Year:
|Quorum sensing is a cell-to-cell communication process used by bacteria to coordinate behaviors in response to cell population density. In Vibrio cholerae, the pathogen responsible for the diarrheal disease cholera, the activation of quorum sensing represses virulence factor production and biofilm formation. As such, molecules that activate quorum sensing in this system possess the potential to attenuate pathogenicity in this important disease. Recently, a High-Throughput Screen (HTS) identified a set of structurally distinct molecules that target LuxO, the central response regulator conserved in Vibrio species, which has remained relatively unexplored to date. In this work, one of the hits was optimized using a Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) analysis. Three locations in the HTS hit were targeted for modification; the library of analogues with these modifications was constructed using an efficient three-step synthesis pathway. Biological evaluation of the analogues in V. cholerae revealed that their affinity for the binding pocket is improved with a simple methyl group substituted at the 3-nitrogen, a furan group acyl side chain, and a methoxy-substituted quinoline core. Of the three positions, the quinoline core was particularly important for general potency, while the presence of the furan group appeared to have implications for inducing activation. Among the molecules identified, the most promising were compound 2, with an EC\(_{50}\) of 3.3 μM and an 81 % maximal response, and compound 14 with an EC\(_{50}\) of 2.7 μM and a 104% maximal response. These two compounds were subsequently tested in Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio harveyi to assess their broad-spectrum capabilities; both compounds showed significant activity. This study has revealed a structurally distinct, novel inhibitor of quorum sensing in a biologically important organism that can serve as a valuable tool in the exploration of the downstream control of quorum sensing in Vibrio species, and more broadly in the development of novel therapeutic approaches to control these pathogens.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/10/2013 (1393 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A decade ago, when BSE devastated cattle economics in Canada, the Bouw family had a collective epiphany.
The Bouws are cattle farmers. They raised cattle and ran a feedlot on which they fed the decades-old conventional diet of barley and corn to other people's cattle to raise them to slaughter weight.
A grain diet speeds weight gain so cattle get to market faster. It also produces larger animals. But cows are ruminants with four stomachs designed to digest grass, not grain. A rich grain diet causes cattle to contract diarrhea, and for some it becomes a chronic condition. The cattle also suffer acidosis, a very bad form of acid reflux.
To prevent cattle catching disease in this compromised state, and because feedlots keep cattle in close quarters where a disease can spread quickly and result in financial ruin, cows are fed antibiotics mixed into their feed as soon as they arrive as a preemptive strike.
But studies have begun showing those antibiotics can transfer to humans eating cooked meat. The fear is human overexposure to antibiotics could lead to resistant strains of bacteria. The United States Department of Agriculture recently recommended feedlots cut down their use of antibiotics.
The BSE crisis -- the discovery of a single cow with mad cow disease in 2003 that made Canadian beef a pariah internationally for a time -- caused a huge reassessment within the Bouw family. Family members saw themselves as addicts -- addicted to throwing money at big agriculture for an endless supply of feed supplements, antibiotics and growth hormones. The way to kick the habit was standing right in front of them, and under them, and all around them: grass. Just grass.
Today, Bouw brothers Jonathan and Stefan, along with parents Herman and Marilyn, don't just raise grass-fed beef on their farm near Anola, about 25 kilometres east of Winnipeg. They are re-breeding the cattle to get them back to their natural, grass-fed genetics so other ranchers can raise them. They are at the epicentre of the grass-fed beef movement.
"I read The Silent Spring in the '60s (the groundbreaking book by Rachel Carson about environmental impacts from pesticides)," said Marilyn, directing her comments toward her two sons. "You didn't know, it but those things were being bred into you."
How did farmers come to start feeding grain to their cattle? The practice took over in the 1950s thanks largely to developments in synthetic fertilizers, Jonathan said. The fertilizers increased grain yields exponentially, so feedlots were invented to take the extra grain and feed it to cattle. About 50 per cent of a cow's diet today is grain once it reaches the feedlot, he said.
The advantage to feeding grain, along with using growth hormones, is a huge one: efficiency. The cattle virtually explode in weight. You can get a calf to market in as little as 12 months on grain, versus 24 months for a grass-fed animal, said Jonathan. That's an extraordinary difference and it explains why the industry opted for grain diets so completely. Grain also allows animals to get up to 40 per cent bigger -- to about 1,500 pounds before slaughter, versus about 1,100 pounds for grass-fed cattle. "Grain was a game changer," Jonathan said.
But reversing those genetics, as the Bouws do, is complicated. You can't just take a calf and raise it on grass and expect positive results.
"The meat tastes like shoe leather," Jonathan said.
What you have to do is reverse half a century of cattle breeding because grain has changed the whole skeletal frame of today's beef cows.
To fatten animals faster with grain, breeders selected bigger-framed cattle with each passing generation, because those animals could put on more pounds per day. (They put on about five pounds a day on a grain diet in feedlots.) The genetics of animals with larger skeletons were the most prized and their genetics were carried on.
But an exclusively grass diet cannot support the larger frames of today's cattle. With grass, you're going back to breeding smaller cows that can support their bodies naturally.
It takes about four generations of feeding cattle on straight grass to obtain smaller, good-tasting beef cattle. That's where the Bouw family's grass-fed bulls come in. With their bulls, a farmer can produce that grass-fed beef in two generations. The Bouws sell about 30 grass-fed bulls per year for breeding from their line of cattle called Edie Creek Angus. They have been breeding their bulls since 2005.
What grass-fed beef lacks in efficiency, it may make up in health. "The health benefits are really quite striking," said Martin Entz, a professor of natural systems agriculture at the University of Manitoba.
It's the old saw about bad fat, Omega 6, versus good fat, Omega 3. The object in a healthy human diet is to get those fats in balance. "You've probably heard that wild game is really healthy for you... In venison, the ratio is 1:1 (Omega 6 vs Omega 3). We evolved as a species eating 1:1 ratios," said Entz.
But a typical human diet today has an 8:1 ratio. "That's why we're getting so much heart disease. We like to eat fat," said Entz. Grain-fed beef has about a 6:1 ratio, whereas grass-fed beef has just a 2:1 ratio.
Grass-fed beef also has elevated levels of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), another agent in the fight against heart attacks. Grass-fed beef is also high in cancer-fighting anti-oxidant selenium and Vitamins A and E.
As for the taste, proponents claim grass-fed beef is more tender and flavourful. The meat of an older cow just naturally takes on more flavour, as if marinated longer, Jonathan said.
Finally, grass-fed cattle are happier because they don't live in confinement on a feedlot. "They're out on nice green pastures and loving life," said Stefan, the other Bouw son.
Cam Dahl, general manager of the Manitoba Beef Producers Association, has heard it all before. He has no problem with cattle producers trying to find a niche market with grass-fed livestock. What he tires of is "this (theme) that how we did things 50 or 60 years ago was so much better than today... That just isn't true."
Dahl said science doesn't back up claims cow health is compromised by a grain diet. As well, the source of antibiotic resistance has been found to be hospitals themselves, he said, citing a recent study by the Centers For Disease Control in Atlanta, Ga. Neither are the antibiotics used for animals the same as those used for humans.
"If you look at the science, food-borne illness is continually declining, and production practises across agriculture are leaving a smaller environmental footprint," Dahl said.
The Bouws don't blame other ranchers for finishing their calves on diets of grain. Those farmers are responding to market signals. What the Bouws are trying to do is demonstrate grass-fed beef is economically viable, too.
Jonathan argues the economics of grass-fed cattle aren't bad once all the bills are tallied. For example, hay to feed grass-fed cattle through the winter is half the price of feed grain right now.
Yes, grain gets a calf to market much faster, but it also requires that the producer start buying such things as feed supplements, growth hormones and antibiotics.
Contrast that to the miracle of converting a mostly useless product like grass, which humans can't consume and has virtually no food value, into a high-protein food: steak, roast, ribs, hamburger, sausage, stew.
Growth in the grass-fed food sector has some legs, said Entz. "Grass-fed is huge in Europe. That extends into dairy products. For example, milk from pastured dairy animals is promoted as healthier for children.
There are about a dozen grass-fed beef ranchers in Manitoba today.
But they are all fairly small producers. They might market 10 to 20 heifers a year. Combined, that may total about 200 head annually, nearly all marketed directly to consumers. Compare that with the rest of Manitoba ranchers who sell about half a million cattle per year.

Larger than most of the Kashmiri Indian papier-mache ( or paper mache) jewelry and trinket boxes you see, this box is 6 1/4" across and 3" high and slightly domed on the top. These boxes are constructed in a painstaking manner and are not as delicate as the name might imply. These boxes have been made in Kashmir since the mid 1800's and are considered a regional folk art.
The box is round, with a notched lid that keeps the decorative flower design lined up. The interior, bottom and background color is black. It is gaily hand painted in pink, rose red and yellow, with touches of blue and green. All the flowers are outlined in gold gilt paint. The box is covered with a clear lacquer which gives it a soft shine.
The box is about 40 - 50 years old and does have some minor wear at the edges and the remnants of a sticker on the bottom. There is also a small area (about 1/4") of peeled paint where the sticker was removed.

We were very happy eith our new Morgan chairs from Overstock! they came fully assembled and were very well protected while being shipped. They are so comfortable and elegant....they fit perfectly into the space we selected in the living room area with a small table in between. The fabric is described as linen looking......but I was happily surprised to see that the fabric is actually a very good grade of upolstery fabric in a "linen look" of beige. They are truly a lovely addition to our home. We've received many compliments from friends and family. Thank you Overstock!

This community, if nothing else, loves to rally around a cause.
A new cause that I recently caught wind of deserves everyone's attention
Desert Vista freshman baseball player Ryan Kibby is in need of a bone marrow transplant. Details of how those willing to help haven't been figured out yet, but is scheduled for March. As we got more information, we will pass it on.
Until then here is the back story.
Ryan was diagnosed with severe Aplastic anemia, a disease that between 600 and 900 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with each year, when he was 9 years old.
Aplastic anemia is a disease of the bone marrow caused by destruction of the blood-forming stem cells in the bone marrow. Patients with severe Aplastic anemia are at risk for life-threatening infections or bleeding because the bone marrow stops making enough red cells, white cells and platelets for the body.
Research suggests the stem cell destruction occurs because the body's immune system attacks its own cells by mistake.
Essentially, he has the bone marrow of a 90-year-old man.
Ryan's positive response to immunosuppressive drug therapy allowed his body to produce enough blood cells and lead a normal lifestyle.
However, this was not a cure and in recent months his blood counts have been steadily declining. A second immunosuppressive therapy is not recommended in Ryan's case and he will need to proceed with a bone marrow/stem cell transplant.
A bone marrow/stem cell transplant involves killing the bone marrow stem cells with chemotherapy and radiation which also kills the immune system. Blood-forming stem cells from a healthy donor are then introduced into the bloodstream.
A well-matched donor is important to the success of the transplant. Unfortunately, seven out of 10 of patients who need a transplant don't find a matching donor in their family.
And that was the case with Ryan's family.
So it is time to search elsewhere and that's when this community usually steps up.
The Desert Vista boosters will be holding a bone marrow drive at Desert Vista in March. Volunteers will be needed to with the help the "Be The Match Program" conducted by Phoenix Children's Hospital to facilitate the testing.
A test that, chances are, will show that someone in this community is the right match.
Could it be you? Let's find out.

I successfully pulled off my first small wedding cake and cupcakes for a 70-person wedding this weekend. It was the first time I "charged" someone for a cake I made. Since I'm in PA, I only charged cost of ingredients, and definitely lost money on the deal, but it was a great experience and I added a bunch of new cake tools to my collection.
This forum was a huge help for information and questions along the way. I'm definitely not going to be a cake decorator by trade any time soon, but it's a fun project every now and then!
:) Congratulations for getting your feet wet. I love my job but sometimes I think its time to retire.

WOW what an amazing product. I have tried so many neck firming creams, but nothing compares or delivers like the SubD by Dr. Perricone.A few months back I read about the new syndrome called "Blackberry Neck" and all the specialized treatments being offered in Hollywood for those that are on their iPhones/Blackberrys etc. The position of the head and neck when operating a small phone puts a lot of stress on the front of the neck, causing folds, wrinkles and sagging skin. I laughed to myself, wondering what the next thing will be to milk us of our hard-earned-cash...until I looked in the mirror. I too had developed Blackberry Neck and I was horrified because I had always prided myself for my youthful neck. Yikes!!!Fast forward to a month ago when I received my SubD to present day, I am ASTONISHED by the results, TRULY!I could go on for pages, but suffice to say that I highly recommend trying this product, both if your sitting on the fence about trying it or have been shocked, LIKE ME, by the reality of Blackberry Neck when NOW looking in the mirror.This one product that I will never be without! I will honestly say that within 1 month my neck looks 80% younger. For me, I can't put a price on that.p.s.: keep it in the fridge to allow it to keep a creamier consistency - that way you will find you use less.I won't even say "Good Luck", because the results will speak for themselves.
En résumé
Oui, je recommanderais ceci à un ami

Par single chin shelley
Have been watching Dana from Dr. Perricone for quite a few years. Have always enjoyed listening to her own experience with these products and finally bought them. Got the auto delivery of cold plasma and sub d. I am 46 and have incredibly good skin, have always treated it well, but like lots of ladies, was starting to feel discouraged with the excess skin under my chin. Had already started researching lipo for my neck......I can honestly say after just a month, I've noticed a huge difference. I look forward to my new facial ritual each morning and bedtime. My double chin is almost no longer. A pink colored sun spot on my cheek as well as a darker color beauty mark on my cheek are almost unnoticeable with thecold plasma. I feel so good with my decision to finally purchase. Pricey but so very worth it.

Totally awesome!!! I've tried everything short of a face lift, that was my next step until I discovered Perricone MD Sub-D, I love the results but wish it wasn't so expensive, it's worth it if you can afford it for sure... Love, Love , Love it! ;-)

I have been using this product for a few months now and it works, I had a turkey neck that was very loose and embarassing. The loose skin has tightened and it does not look like a turkey neck anymore, I am no longer embarassed to show my neck. For some of us it may take longer to see a difference but you will. I also read reviews on this product and one lady suggested to keep it in the fridge and it is easier to apply and you don't use as much and that hint was extremely helpful and now I too keep my in the fridge.

I am mid 40's and always hesitant to try these "creams". All the hype, none of the results. Gave this a try...WOW...it does work. My jaw and neckline do look tighter...thought it was my imagination...but it wasn't. Everyone should really give it a try.

first neck cream that actually works!
Par AMY
de ST CATHARINES
i've been using the sub-d for about 5 weeks now and cannot believe i finally have a neck cream that actually works! i am almost 40, noticed jowels and turkey gobble starting about 4 years ago. other creams i've tried have moisturized, maybe softened the 3 deep "wisdom lines" i have on my neck, but that's it. within the first 3 weeks of using the sub-d i noticed my "gobble" started to tighten up. i thought i was imagining things! now after 5 weeks the gobble is about 70% gone, jowels are tightening and the lines around my neck are softer. there's about 1/3 of the jar left now; just can't get over the fact that the claims were true. one more plus about the sub-d is that there's no srong odour like the other plasma items. please ladies, consider this purchase. like the other reviews say it really does work!
Best Neck Cream Ever!
Par BERTHA
de WINNIPEG
I've been using the Cold Plasma Sub-D cream now for 30 days, and I cannot believe how it has sculpted & firmed my lower neck & jawline. I have always had a double chin, but it has actually been significantly reduced! My profile is much more toned & lifted and the fine lines on my neck area are much smoother. This is the best neck cream I have ever used bar none.
Does what it says !!!
Par DONNA

Im 52 and ive used it all believe me !! This is finally the product that actually works. huge difference in my skin, not having to stare closely in the mirror to see if there is a slight difference this you can see clearly its awesome,,,expensive but awesome!!
