Some people who have troubled childhoods never get over the experience. Others, though, use their misfortune as motivation to achieve great things.
Farzana Khan, the 241sfits into that second category.
Farzana went through a lot of instability when she was growing up, moving regularly and attending 13 different schools. She also had to overcome being bullied and extended periods when she dropped out of school. When she raised the idea of going to university, she was told that was too ambitious for someone from her background.
But Farzana showed great determination to keep improving herself. After leaving school, she started working in hospitality, always holding multiple jobs so she could learn faster. Later, she got accepted into university, to study a business and commerce degree focused on human resource management. Even as she studied, she kept working, still in hospitality, but this time in HR. Today, she’s head of human resources at The Old Clare Hotel.
While Farzana has already done very well for herself, there are three reasons why I’m convinced she’s going to achieve so much more success in the years ahead.
First, Farzana has a wonderful mindset. She’s resilient, determined and ambitious. Obstacles may slow her down, but they don’t stop her.
Second, she thinks like an entrepreneur, rather than an employee. She proactively looks for ways to improve her workplace and she’s not afraid to lead.
Third, Farzana is an empathetic person and a fantastic listener. She takes the time to get to know her team on an individual level and tries to make their work life better – partly because she genuinely cares and partly because shBy Nick Bendel|2022-05-30T06:46:36+10:00May 28th, 2022|Categories: Lunches|0 Comments |
en | N/A | N/A | Starting from JDK1.4, Java provides a NetworkInterface class. This class can get the machine all of the physical network interfaces and virtual machine software such as use of the machine's physical network interface to create a logical network interface information.
First, create two static methods NetworkInterface object
NetworkInerface InetAddress class, and as there is no public constructor. Therefore, we must, through its two static methods to create NetworkInterface object. You can use two methods to create NetworkInterface objects: network interface name (getByName methods) and IP address (getByInetAddress method).
This method can be created through the network interface name NetworkInterface object. The network interface name is not the computer name, but used to identify physical or logical network interface name, typically set by the operating system. Network interface name in most operating systems (including Windows, Linux and Unix) is based on eth beginning, followed by network interface index number, from 0. If the unit has three card security, then the network interface name on the order is eth0, eth1 and eth2. NetworkInterface object toString method to return the network interface name, display name and the network interface to tie all the IP address of the word information. When the network interface name does not exist, getByName return null. getByName method is defined as follows:
public static NetworkInterface getByName (String name) throws SocketException
The following code is a display of information procedures specified network interface, network interface name through the command line parameter.
public static void main (String [] args) throws Exception
NetworkInterface ni = NetworkInterface.getByName (args [0]);
System.out.println ((ni == null)? "Network interface does not exist!": Ni);
name: eth0 (Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC) index: 4 addresses:
In addition to using the network interface name to get network interface information, you can also use getByInetAddress method to determine the IP address of a network interface to which they belong. As getByInetAddress method must use a package of IP address InetAddress object as a parameter, therefore, use getByInetAddress method, you must first create an InetAddress object. Be careful not to use a remote IP of the domain name to create the InetAddress object, or getByInetAddress will return null. getByInetAddress method is defined as follows:
public static NetworkInterface getByInetAddress (InetAddress addr) throws SocketException
The following code can determine an IP address belongs to which network interface, the IP address via command line parameter.
if (args.length == 0) return;
InetAddress local = InetAddress.getByName (args [0]);
NetworkInterface ni = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress (local);
System.out.println ((ni == null)? "This machine does not exist for this IP address!": Ni);
name: lo (MS TCP Loopback interface) index: 1 addresses:
name: ppp0 (WAN (PPP / SLIP) Interface) index: 0 addresses:
Test 2 uses ADSL connection IP address 218.61.151.22 is assigned to the temporary IP address of the machine, therefore, the results returned is the ADSL network interface ppp0.
Second, get all of the network interface of the machine
NetworkInterface can getNetworkInterfaces method to enumerate all network interfaces in this machine. We can also use getNetworkInterfaces get network interface to enumerate all the IP address of the machine. Of course, you can also InetAddress class getAllByName to get all the IP address of the machine. However, the network interface getNetworkInterfaces method can be grouped these IP addresses, which would like to be a network interface for all IP addresses is very useful. getNetworkInterfaces method is defined as follows:
public static Enumeration getNetworkInterfaces () throws SocketException
The following code demonstrates how to use getNetworkInterfaces obtained all of the network interface of the machine.
Enumeration nis = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces ();
Operating result (in part):
The above operation results is a possible result, readers run the above program in accordance with the machine's hardware and software configuration, operating results may vary.
3, NetworkInterface class Getter method
NetworkInterface class provides three methods will receive a network interface name (getName method), network interface alias (getDisplayName method), and bind all network interfaces and IP addresses (getInetAddresses method).
This method is used to get a network interface name. The name of the method is to use getByName NetworkInterface object used to create the network interface name, such as eth0, ppp0, etc.. getName method is defined as follows:
This method can be more easily understood network interface names, network interface can also be the alias name for the network interface. In some operating systems (such as Unix), getDisplayName method getName method returns the same value, but in Windows, getDisplayName method will generally return to a more friendly name, such as Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC. getDisplayName method is defined as follows:
public String getDisplayName ()
NetworkInterface class can getInetAddresse InetAddress object method to return the form and network interfaces for all IP addresses bound. getInetAddresses method is defined as follows:
public Enumeration getInetAddresses ()
If the above code demonstrates the use of the three Getter method.
System.out.println ("Name:" + ni.getName ());
System.out.println ("DisplayName:" + ni.getDisplayName ());
Enumeration addresses = ni.getInetAddresses ();
System.out.println (addresses.nextElement (). GetHostAddress ());
DisplayName: Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC
NetworkInterface.getHardwareAddress this method is to obtain the MAC address of the machine.

Also bring a copy of the job description if available. Research the company prior to going. Turn off your cell. Don't chew gum. Do not arrive with an entourage. "Tell me about yourself" means "tell me what your attributes are that will apply to this job." "What are your weaknesses" is "what do you need to improve on as well as what steps you are taking to accomplish it." Make sure you ask questions to show interest in more than just the paycheck-- even if that's your only motivation: 1. Why is this position open? 2. Do you have any internal candidates (if it's not entry level why have they not promoted someone to this position)? 3. Once I've learned the functions of the position, what is the desired next step in my duties? 4. Will (name of company) be open to suggestions if I see an area I can help improve? Then the basic end of interview questions: How far along are you in the interview process? When may I follow up with you? Be sure to get the interviewer's card to send a thank you note for the interview.
These are great suggestions -- I think you could add to the list a computer-generated map of your route to the interview. It's also a good idea to visit get the 'lay of the land', i.e., where to park, which door to use, use of metal detectors, elevator logistics, etcbe sure to ask the interviewer if there is anything he/she would like you to bring such as copies of reports you've written, spreadsheets you've generated, graphics you've designed or any portfolio-type projects that will help to showcase your skills and abilities.

I shot many images by shifting focus from near objects to far ones to see if the focus failed at any time. I could not get it to miss the shot even while I attempted to change the framing of the composition. At night time, I did notice some focus hunting which can be attributed equally to the focus detection system of the camera.

It need not excite incredulity, therefore, if we find activities in the intellectual faculties of whose modus operandi we are unconscious, since even the senses themselves present us with performances so inconceivably marvellous.
All minds are not, of course, equally poetical; the faculties of some are adapted to seek after and appreciate analogies much more than others; but if the analogies be not present in some shape, forming part of our own experience, there will be no beauty and consequently no admiration; no sublimity, and therefore no awe. Milton's classical allusions in “Paradise Lost" may be very admirable for others, but if I am not conversant with the literature of ancient Greece and Rome, I cannot recognise the justness of the similes; I cannot discern any analogy; I do not understand, and therefore I do not admire, the images; while at the same time I may be quite capable of admiring sculpture and painting and flowers. Every several class of beauty, therefore, requires a several education.

en | N/A | N/A | Despite the best efforts of the Galatasaray fans to light up the North London night with flares, there was one man who was on fire and burned brightest on a balmy evening at the Emirates. Before the kick-off on Wednesday, Danny Welbeck had made a promising, if not spectacular, start to his Arsenal career. But, like for the rest of the team, everything clicked into place for him as the Gunners comfortably dispatched the Turks 4-1, even after playing with ten men for the last half an hour.
After the stuttering draw with Spurs and the defeat in Dortmund, the visit of Galatasaray had the potential to be a tricky one for Arsenal. Failure to win would have triggered more questions over injuries, defensive midfielders, etc, etc, and would have made qualification for the knockout rounds a potential up-hill struggle. Instead, Arsenal are up into second place in group D going into the back-to-back games with Anderlecht, and have built up some much needed confidence and fluidity before a trip across London to Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
With a first career hat-trick, Danny Welbeck led the Arsenal line superbly. He tore the visiting defence apart with his pace, worked hard tracking back for the team and brought others into play well. His running freed up the space for the likes of Mesut Ozil, Santi Cazorla and Alexis Sanchez to have time and space to weave some magic and find the attacking spark that has been missing too often this season. Alexis got a deserved goal just before half time to make it 3-0, making it a very decent five goals since his summer switch from Barcelona. It was also an excellent response to a hideous assault-like tackle from Felipe Melo which, had referee been up with the play, should have resulted in a red card.
Despite good performances all over the pitch and a more balanced midfield, it was all about Welbeck on Wednesday night. After it initially looked like me may have misjudged it, the first goal was well taken with a defender coming back at him. Immediately after that goal, Welbeck almost looked like a different player. That was typified by the individual work he did to grab the second goal by pressuring the defender, heading the ball forward, chasing himself and then finishing by opening his body up and sliding the ball past the goalkeeper.
With the Galatasaray defence still unsure what to do with a rampant Welbeck, he notched a well deserved hat-trick by timing his run perfectly to get on the end of Oxlade-Chamberlain’s through ball, after playing a prominent role earlier in the build-up. The finish was delicate and perfectly judged. After hitting the post against Manchester City in a similar situation, Welbeck could have hesitated, but with two goals already in his back pocket, he produced an excellent end to a lovely team move that started back in Arsenal’s half.
There will be tougher defences to face, but anyone with the pace, power and willingness to work that Welbeck has will cause problems to anyone. With Arsenal’s creative midfielders and attackers quickly building an understanding of Welbeck’s game, it’ll be exciting to see how he develops when leading the Arsenal line.
Especially after producing a TH14-trademarked finish for his second goal, comparisons between Welbeck and Thierry Henry are almost inevitable. I’m reluctant to make one just because there will never be anyone like Henry again. He was, and will probably always be, along with Dennis Bergkamp, the greatest player I’ll ever see in the red and white. But the similarities are there with Welbeck. The Englishman needed the confidence of being a central striker and getting chances. He won’t be another Thierry Henry, no-one ever will be, but on the evidence of Wednesday night, Welbeck can score a lot of goals for the Gunners.
The major negative from Wednesday was the red card for Wojciech Szczesny. It’s hard to have too many complaints about it, and at least it gave David Ospina the chance to put in a very solid performance for half an hour. Even though the game was already won when 4-0 up, Arsenal do need to kick the habit of getting players sent off in the Champions League, albeit some have been dubious at best *cough* Debuchy v Besiktas *cough*. It’s now five reds in the last seven games in Europe, which does look slightly careless.
Overall, even the red card didn’t really dampen the mood at the Emirates. Arsenal were attacking, confident and clinical on a fun night at the Emirates. The Champions League campaign is back on track and Arsenal head to Stamford Bridge with a striker hitting some form. It seems like Welbz really could be dat guy. |

en | N/A | N/A | You can avoid this issue by undervolting your card. Right I know but here's the thing. Above we have shared the. Very few 1070's can reach the same clock speeds. Have you seen the cooler my card has? This is a change for the better and makes much of our previous advice irrelevant. It perfectly works on windows 10, windows 8 or 8.
GPU Boost 3.0: Finer
Goloith, a reader of my blog - where this article was originally posted - shared this info. If I overclock them all they just artifact right. To avoid trouble in multi-user environments, changing application clocks requires administrative privileges. Matrix size 1024×1024 Tesla K80 and Autoboost As shown in Figure 2 above the Tesla K80 significantly extends the available set of application clocks from 4 levels to 25 levels. Finally, how overvolting is being represented is a bit different from before.
cyclopelabs.com: Disabling GPU Boost on Windows 10 for more deterministic timestamp queries on NVIDIA GPUs
I used Firestrike Ultra graphics test 1 and 2. There are some minimum P. This maintains current state, including requested applications clocks. Also please remember that the application clocks setting is a recommendation. K80 also introduces autoboost, which automatically selects the highest possible clock rate allowed by the thermal and power budget as visualized in Figure 3 below. I'm sure with that needed bump in voltage, it will tip the scale.
We have shared the above. You can check the above shared method to use command line options. Please be aware that the application clocks setting is a recommendation. Which we have shared below. By adding an additional parameter to vary the frequency offset by — in this case voltage — any lost performance opportunity can be minimized. By using this, you can create a custom profile easily.
See you don't see it as a problem and many others wouldn't either. Overclocking failures can cause multiple types of failures; graphic corruption easy to catch and recover , driver crashes moderately difficult to recover from , and system hardlocks very difficult to recover from. I guess I just don't see it as a problem. You have to manage heat, voltage, and frequency if you want to get a decent overclock. Because it is a graphics profiler. You will get the option to insert values. Here's the problem, every game I would play I would artifact or crash or both.
Because when you use the slider, boost 3. By using this, you can create different profiles for different needs. If that is the case, 2 months seems right. Decrease it by 50 or 100 until you reach your last highest fps. Best o' luck to ya I knew I had a screenshot of it somewhere.
Isn't Nvidia like aware of this? I'm well aware of how to clock these newer gen cards. Knowing all that, we have written a simple standalone D3D12 application SetStablePowerState. If you look at the curve, after you set that offset on the slider, I would imagine the lowest voltage would end up being 1043 or 1050mv. Like is it not weird, that on the same voltage with the same settings and same clock, one way works partially only when it's just that one single voltage step 1. When I used the curve tool to just overclock the last voltage step, 1.

To know which financial institution is most appropriate in serving a specific need, it is important to understand the difference between the types of institutions and the purposes they serve. The major categories of financial institutions include central banks, retail and commercial banks, Internet banks, credit unions, savings and loans associations, investment banks, investment companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies and mortgage companies.
Traditionally, retail banks offered products to individual consumers while commercial banks worked directly with businesses. Currently, the majority of large banks offer deposit accounts, lending and limited financial advice to both demographics. Products offered at retail and commercial banks include checking and savings accounts, certificates of deposit (CDs), personal and mortgage loans, credit cards and business banking accounts.
A newer entrant to the financial institution market is the Internet bank, which works similarly to a retail bank. Internet banks offer the same products and services as conventional banks, but they do so through online platforms instead of brick and mortar locations.
Financial institutions that are mutually held and provide no more than 20% of total lending to businesses fall under the category of savings and loan associations. Individual consumers use savings and loan associations for deposit accounts, personal loans and mortgage lending.
Investment Banks and Companies
Investment banks do not take deposits; instead, they help individuals, businesses and governments raise capital through the issuance of securities. Investment companies, more commonly known as mutual fund companies, pool funds from individual and institutional investors to provide them access to the broader securities market.

en | N/A | N/A | Teacher says grant will aid student literacy goalsThomson Middle receives money for career education
Dollar General stores has provided a Thomson teacher with some big bucks.
Thomson Middle School Principal Claude Powell recently received notice from Dollar General officials that his school was awarded a $4,685 Back-To-School grant to fund new programs, equipment, materials or software to promote literacy and communication. Mr. Powell said career education teacher Kelli Crafton applied for the grant.
"I did it back in April, so I had forgotten about it," Ms. Crafton said. "Honest to gosh, I never really thought I was going to get the grant."
But since receiving it, Ms. Crafton said she has been making plans. Career education is a nonacademic nine-week class that exposes students to different work settings and what types of education it takes to get into various careers. Most students only are familiar with the careers of their parents or close family members, Ms. Crafton said. She not only teaches about careers, but also about communication and people skills.
"We look at the overview -- how do you communicate, how do you respond effectively and properly, that kind of stuff," the four-year teacher said. "So I applied for this particular grant because I knew it would help deal with communication. And I feel communication is a very important key."
Ms. Crafton also teaches classes at the junior high school, but she said this particular grant will be used solely at Thomson Middle School.
"We're going to use it to help improve literacy, which we believe will help with overall academic performance, and to enhance co buy software with the money. "In my classroom, we do reading and writing and math. But if there's any software that we could bring into my room to help with career awareness just to help enhance literacy, that's what I'm looking for. Because the more they are exposed all day, the more advanced the students are going to be in all the classes," she said. Ms. Crafton has one year to implement her project, and then Dollar General officials will check to see if the money was spent as specified in the grant. Thomson Middle School is one of 1,101 organizationsThe Foundation was organized in 1993 to support literacy and education initiatives to nonprofit organizations and schools.
Emily Weiss, public relations specialist with Dollar General, said the Foundation grant money is collected through donations dropped in boxes at cash registers of Dollar General stores.
"So when people put their change in those collection boxes, they are supporting literacy in their own communities," Ms. Weiss said in a telephone interview.
Dollar General is a discount retailer of neighborhood stores, offering consumable basic items such as food38.4 million in grants since its inception in 1993, acccompany. |

en | N/A | N/A | A primary drawback of existing implementations of velocity selective arterial spin labeling (VSASL) is that the tagging pulse train produces velocity selective saturation rather than inversion, resulting in reduced SNR. We present here the design of composite velocity selective inversion pulse trains for use in VSASL. Preliminary results demonstrate B1 and B0 insensitivity, and higher SNR than current VSASL methods.
Labeling Efficiency Is Critical in Pseudo-Continuous ASL

Pseudo-Continuous Arterial Spin Labeling (pCASL) is a new ASL technique that has the potential of combining advantages of continuous ASL and pulse ASL. One of the most critical parameters in flow quantification using pCASL is the labeling efficiency. Here, we empirically determined the optimal labeling location to be 84mm distal to the AC-PC line. We then experimentally estimated the labeling efficiency using phase-contrast MRI as a normalization factor and found it to be 87±10%. Finally, we demonstrated that labeling efficiency may change with physiologic state and should be estimated for each physiologic condition.
Multi-Phase Pseudo-Continuous Arterial Spin Labeling (MP PCASL): Robust PCASL Method for CBF Quantification

The pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling method for CBF quantification offers higher SNR and therefore the potential for improved quantification compared to pulsed ASL. The tagging efficiency of PCASL can be significantly modulated by both gradient imperfections and the off-resonance fields at the tagged vessels. We propose a novel PCASL method with multiple phase offsets which is less sensitive to these factors. Our result shows that the CBF measures obtained with the proposed method were more consistent with the reference CBF values obtained with FAIR and both conventional PCASL and MP PCASL provide higher SNR than the FAIR ASL method.
Evaluation of New ASL 3D GRASE Sequences Using Parallel Imaging, Segmented and Interleaved K-Space at 3T with 12- And 32-Channel Coils

Three new 3D GRASE ASL sequences utilizing parallel imaging (PI) segmentation and interleaved readout schemes were evaluated without changes in blood labeling and background suppression pulses. Comparisons were made at different spatial resolution in 64, 128 and 256 matrix images in 12- and 32-Channel head coils at 3T. All sequences reduced susceptibility artifacts by shortening RF pulse spacing in the CPMG sequence, The segmented and PI sequences reduced through-plane blurring by shortening echo train lengths. Higher bandwidth possible in 128 matrix scans reduced image distortions. The 32-Channel head coil consistently improved SNR and dependent image quality

In Q2TIPS [quantitative imaging of perfusion using a single subtraction II (QUIPSS II) with thin-slice TI1 periodic saturation], a train of periodic saturation pulses is used to minimize variable transit delay error in assessment of perfusion. A new scheme referred as Q2WISSE (QUIPSS II with window-sliding saturation sequence) was developed to reduce SAR while still maintaining the sharp slice profile by using window-sliding saturation pluses to replace the train of saturation pulses. The method was tested on seven volunteers for both brains and kidneys, and a good agreement was found between Q2WISSE and Q2TIPS methods.
ASL Perfusion Measurement Using a Rapid, Low Resolution Arterial Transit Time Prescan

The arterial spin labeling signal reflects a mixture of perfusion and arterial transit time (ATT) effects. Unfortunately, ATT can span a wide range in broad clinical populations and optimization of these scans is problematic. Perfusion and ATT can be measured with images acquired at multiple delays, but such methods decrease the sensitivity of the perfusion measurement. Here, we propose a rapid, low resolution scan at multiple labeling delays to acquire a map of ATT. This ATT map can be used to optimize an ATT insensitive perfusion acquisition or to quantify perfusion from an ATT sensitive high resolution scan.

The aim of this study was to study the ability of arterial spin labeling to assess cerebrovascular reactivity in the white matter after intravenous administration of acetazolamide using a pseudo-continuous ASL technique with background suppression. Herein, we found a significant increase in CBF in the white matter after injection of acetazolamide that corresponds with the increase in CBF of the gray matter. Knowledge of white matter autoregulative status may provide important understanding in the aetiology and pathogenesis white matter disease.
Multicenter Reproducibility of Continuous, Pulsed and Pseudo-Continuous Arterial Spin Labeling; Can We Use General Reference Values of Cerebral Blood Flow?

Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a non-invasive imaging technique that can be used to measure cerebral perfusion in the diagnosis and evaluation of brain disease. However, the complicated set up of ASL experiments raises the question whether comparable perfusion images would be obtained when scanning the same subject at different imaging sites and whether multicenter reproducibility of ASL allows the use of general reference values of cerebral blood flow. To answer these questions we assessed intra- and multicenter reproducibility of continuous, pseudo-continuous and pulsed ASL in a group of 6 healthy volunteers scanned twice at multiple sites.

A non-invasive approach for quantifying arteriolar cerebral blood volume (aCBV) using inflow vascular-space-occupancy with dynamic subtraction (iVASO-DS) is presented. iVASO-DS employs a “null” acquisition (arteriolar blood magnetization nulled) interleaved with a “control” acquisition (arteriolar blood magnetization positive), which are subtracted to yield an aCBV map. aCBV is found to be 2.8±0.9% in healthy volunteers (n=8), however was significantly (P<0.01) elevated bilaterally in patients with steno-occlusive artery disease (ipsilateral: 4.1±1.0%; contralateral: 3.8±1.1%). iVASO-DS should represent a useful, non-invasive complement to hemodynamic imaging protocols for understanding both healthy brain function and hemodynamic impairment in patients with abnormal CBV.
QUantitative Imaging of EXtraction of Oxygen and TIssue Consumption (QUIXOTIC) Using Velocity Selective Spin Labeling

While oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) are fundamental parameters in neuropathology and functional neuroactivation, a robust MRI-based OEF/CMRO2 mapping technique has not been established. OEF/CMRO2 mapping requires isolating signal from post-capillary venular blood to measure venular oxygen saturation (Yv). We propose and demonstrate a novel method to isolate this signal using velocity selective spin-labeling. We subsequently estimate T2 of PCV blood, convert T2 to Yv with a calibration curve, compute OEF from Yv, and baseline CMRO2 from OEF and CBF. This approach is dubbed QUantitative Imaging of eXtraction of Oxygen and TIssue Consumption (QUIXOTIC). |

Derivatives of the likelihood function (with respect to parameters)
for diffraction microscopy with noisy images at unknown orientations.}
\noindent{\footnotesize%
\\
repository: \texttt{\giturl}\\
hash: \texttt{\githash~(\gitdate)}}
I write down a likelihood for diffraction microscopy imaging data,
where each image is of the same molecule, but each image contains a
small number of photons, and each image is of the molecule at an
unknown, random orientation.
In this work, at fixed orientation, the likelihood function is
parameterized by linear parameters (densities in three-dimensional
boxels in real space, or Fourier coefficients, or any other linear
representation), but the likelihood function becomes non-linear in
those parameters when the orientation is marginalized out.
Marginalization is performed by a sum over a (random or uniform)
sampling in orientation space.
In diffraction imaging, the fundamental observable is the squared norm
of a slice of the Fourier transform of the object of interest.
In the noisy regime---but when the orientation of the sample in the
beam is known---the detected photons are independent draws from a
variable-rate Poisson process, with rate set by the squared norm of
the relevant slice of the Fourier transform (probably censored by a
beam stop).
When the orientation of the sample in the beam is unknown, the group
of detected photons can no longer be thought of as being independent
draws from a simple process.
While being conditionally independent given the orientation, they are
dependent when the orientation is thought of as an unobserved latent
This emerges because the orientation controls the slice, and the slice
controls the rate function for the Poisson process; the various
photons in a single image or exposure are generated by the same slice,
but the plane of the slice is not known.
For the purposes of definiteness, we will think of the real-space
object as being described by a density $\rho(x)$, where $x$ is
a three-vector position in real space (units of length).
This density has a Fourier transform $\hat{\rho}(k)$, where the hat
indicates the Fourier transform, and $k$ is a three-vector wave number
(units of inverse length).
We will make use of various properties of the density $\rho(x)$ and of
its Fourier transform $\hat{\rho}(k)$:
One might be that the density $\rho(x)$ has compact support---is
non-zero in a finite domain---which makes the Fourier transform
$\hat{\rho}(k)$ smooth in some corresponding way.
Another is that the density $\rho(x)$ will be real, which makes
$\hat{\rho}(k)$ symmetric in the sense of
$\hat{\rho}(k)=\hat{\rho}(-k)$.
Another might be that the density $\rho(x)$ is non-negative everywhere
(this will often---but not always---be true).

en | N/A | N/A | It was almost called The Two Americas. Later, briefly, Desert Songs was a contender. But U2 finally settled on The Joshua Tree for their fifth LP, a smart title that perfectly encapsulated its cinematic mix of widescreen landscapes and thirsting, quasi-Biblical lyricism. It elevated the Irish quartet into global superstars, sold a staggering twenty-five million copies and remains an unsurpassed career peak. The aim, according to guitarist The Edge, was to "follow the blues and get into America". After almost a decade as rootless post-punks with awkward Christian leanings, U2 finally baptised themselves in the mighty star-spangled river of gospel, blues, folk, country, rock and soul. Tightening up their open-ended songwriting methods into more traditional structures, they made a conscious effort to work with the "primary colours" of rootsy Americana.
Produced by the holy trinity of Daniel Lanois, Brian Eno and Steve Lillywhite, The Joshua Tree became a monumental experiment in monochrome myth-making. Musically, U2 borrowed from Dylan, Springsteen, Hendrix, Peggy Seeger, Woody Guthrie and more. Lyrically, meanwhile, Bono soaked himself in a literary pantheon including Norman Mailer, Flannery O'Connor, Walker Percy, Raymond Carver, Allen Ginsberg and many others. It was an audacious collision of vaulting ambition and juvenile arrogance, commercial calculation and cultural appropriation.
But the resulting music was spectacular. From the shimmering gallop of Where The Streets Have No Name to the Reagan-bashing military-industrial bombast of Bullet The Blue Sky, from the sultry, eroticised languor of With Or Without You to the radiant religiosity of I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, this harmonious weave of antique signifiers with gleaming modernist textures still dazzles three decades later. The Joshua Tree remains one of U2's most consistently excellent albums, and arguably their sole masterpiece. They would never sound this fruitfully innocent again.
U2 are talking up this thirtieth-anniversary repackage, which comes in "super deluxe" quadruple CD and seven-disc vinyl formats, as a timely political statement, holding up their love-hate romance with Reagan's America as a dark mirror to Trump. In truth, almost all of this material has been released before, mostly on an expanded twentieth-birthday edition in 2007 (the original album here uses the same remaster). The uneven extra disc of outtakes and B-sides is virtually identical, and only of marginal interest to anyone seeking to understand the album's broader musical hinterland.
New to the official U2 canon, though, is the band's Madison Square Garden show from September 1987, a solid recording lifted from what sounds like a crisp, professional soundboard mix. Hamming it up like a first-time tourist fresh off the boat, Bono amplifies his mid-Atlantic twang as he shamelessly flatters the New York audience, who naturally lap up every blarney-drenched word. This punchy, dynamic set is notable for the glorious guest appearance by Harlem's Voices Of Freedom gospel choir on I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. But slightly longer versions of this show have been available in bootleg form for years, so there is nothing here that serious U2 fans will treasure for its missing-in-action rarity.
Indeed, the only fresh material in this whole package is a single disc of newly commissioned remixes, all but one by longtime U2 collaborators and key players behind the original album. Lanois gives good value here, transforming both Running To Stand Still and With Or Without You into lightly lysergic sci-fi lullabies of weightless ambient gloop. Studio engineer Mark "Flood" Ellis also finds an inventive new angle on Where The Streets Have No Name, stripping away the drums and pointillist guitar detail to leave Bono's muffled voice adrift in a ghostly fog of sonic abstraction. But Garrett "Jacknife" Lee's burly techno-rock mix of Bullet The Blue Sky is mostly boorish bluster, while Lillywhite's streamlined, shiny update of Red Hill Mining Town makes only minor cosmetic improvements.
The sole new name among the remixers is cryptic London-Irish electro duo St Francis Hotel, whose secrecy has led some online fans to speculate they may be related to U2, or at least famous friends. Whatever the pair's identities, their pleasantly nondescript take on One Tree Hill has a warm-blooded, fuzzytronic, vaguely Balearic flavour. Brian Eno also takes a pass at the same track, but his two-minute hymnal "reprise" version is a slender, perfunctory sketch.
Of course, there is a limit to the number of times any band can meaningfully revisit and repackage an album, even a timeless milestone like The Joshua Tree. But it is hard to resist drawing parallels here with Achtung Baby, U2's only other serious claim on all-time classic status. That album was reissued in 2011 in a super-deluxe ten-disc multimedia edition bursting with remixes, alternate takes, arty documentaries and subversive deconstructions.
By contrast, The Joshua Tree resurfaces in 2017 heavy with reverence but light on context. One glaring absence is Rattle And Hum, the sister album and tour film that pushed the band's sepia-tinted Americana fetish into Spinal Tap-style self-parody, but which still contained potent and revealing moments. The eighty-four-page book of previously unseen archive photographs by The Edge provides a nice visual aside, but there are no retrospective documentaries or scholarly essays to help unpack one of U2's most conceptually rich works. This cautious, conservative repackage may not diminish the greatness of the original album, but it does sell it short.

en | N/A | N/A | Chet Lukaszewski New York Attorneys at Law Appellate Ruling Reins In Medical Boards’ Powers In Pension-Disability Disputes
500 Old Country Road, Suite 206 • Garden City, NY 11530
A recent ruling by a state Appellate Division panel could make it easier for uniformed-services retirees seeking three-quarters disability pensions to win court challenges to the decisions of pension-fund medical boards, according to several disability attorneys.
“It should give us a better ability to challenge pension-fund medical determinations,” said Chet Lukaszewski, who brought the case that resulted in the ruling, “because the language of the decision seems to expand the scope of what a court can review when a challenge of a pension denial is sought.”
In one of those decisions, Eileen Borenstein vs. the New York City Employees’ Retirement System, the Court of Appeals concluded in 1996 that a trial court cannot substitute its own judgment for that of a medical board, as long as the board’s decision was based on “some credible evidence.”
This ruling by the state’s highest court made it extremely difficult for retirees who appealed medical-board rejections of their applications for accidental disability pensions, Mr. Lukaszewski said in an interview. Another case six months later, in which the Court of Appeals revoked some pensions awarded by lower courts, further demonstrated “the power of the pension funds,” he said.
The deadline for appealing the recent, more-liberal ruling passed Aug. 9 without an appeal from the city.
Cop’s Patrol Car Hit By Cab
The case involved Joshua Kiess, who had been with the NYPD for three years in November 2006 when a taxicab struck his police car. After the accident, he complained of back pain.
A series of MRIs taken over the next few months diagnosed spinal tears—damage to the spongy discs that act as shock absorbers for the vertebrae in the spine—and herniated discs, in which the discs slip out of place and compress the spinal cord and nerves. Several private physicians said Mr. Kiess was disabled and his treatment options were limited, and a Police Surgeon ruled him medically unable to attempt firearms qualification.
The medical board of the New York City Police Pension Fund, however, in both 2007 and 2008 found that “there are no objective findings precluding the officer from performing the full duties of a New York City Police Officer.”
Mr. Kiess quit the Police Department in January 2008 after it announced that members who had been denied disability pensions would be evaluated for a return to full duty.
Board Was ‘Glaringly Deficient’
After losing in State Supreme Court, Mr. Lukaszewski, who represented Mr. Kiess, said in court papers filed with the Appellate Division that the medical board’s notes on the case were “glaringly deficient.” He said the board had offered no discussion of the recommendations of Mr. Kiess’s private doctors. “The Medical Board blatantly fails to discuss key evidence which supports petitioner’s claims, and minimizes other evidence which it cites,” according to the papers.
Mr. Lukaszewski argued that the medical board’s determination was made without sound basis in reason and without regard to the facts.
The Appellate Division panel sent the case back to the pension fund for re-evaluation July 1, ruling that “it does not appear that the Medical Board considered all of the submitted medical evidence, and. . . the reasons for concluding that the petitioner is medically fit for police work are not clearly stated in the Medical Board’s report.”
The panel said the Borenstein case and others had determined that the medical board is “entitled to resolve conflicts in the medical evidence and rely on its own physical examinations of the applicant.” But it quoted a 1975 decision that found “fairness demands that all available relevant medical evidence be considered by the medical board and the board of trustees before petitioner’s claim to accident disability retirement may properly be rejected.” And it said, the medical board must make its medical reasoning clear.
The Justices on the panel that issued the decision were Angela M. Mazzarelli, Dianne T. Renwick, Helen E. Freedman, Rosalyn H. Richter and Sheila Abdus-Salaam.
Other pension attorneys agreed the decision could be a sea change. “I was more than pleased to learn that one of my colleagues was able to finally demonstrate that the pension medical boards are not at liberty to choose what they want to review when making decisions that affect our client’s livelihoods,” said Todd J. Strier.
“Current legal doctrine makes it very challenging to overturn medical determinations if the medical board has what’s called credible evidence to support its findings,” said Robert Ungaro. “Credible evidence has been interpreted to be as meager as the opinion of one medical doctor. This case calls the medical board to task for not considering all the medical evidence and represents, once again, that the medical board has a duty to consider all available medical evidence before reaching a determination.”
“This case says that the medical board cannot simply issue conclusory medical judgments denying disability pensions,” said Troy Rosasco,
But Rhonda Cavagnaro, general counsel for the Police Pension Fund, disagreed that the case would make things easier for the disability attorneys. “I don’t think this case does anything for them,” she said. “All it does is force the medical board to be a little more articulate.”
Ms. Cavagnaro said that because Mr. Kiess had left the Police Department, when the case comes back as remanded the fund will argue that it has no jurisdiction. |

en | N/A | N/A | July 22, 2015 – Kawneer Company has introduced a new unitized curtain wall, delivering ultra-thermal performance, regardless of climate or location.
“The ultra-thermal performance that we have built into the new 2500 UT Unitwall™ System opens up greater possibilities for the architectural community who will now be able to use this high performing curtain wall for even more demanding building projects,” said Colin Brosmer,a.
The curtain wall is a high-performance unitized system that offers architects and designers a broad range of design options providing seamlessoffer views of bustling city life and other dramatic landscapes. The cost-effective system is ideal for office buildings as well as a variety of mid- to high-rise projects. Its virtually seamless glass walls connect interior building spaces with the outside world.
The ultra-thermal system also offers reduced fabrication and assembly times due to the one-piece polyamide thermal break, eliminating the need for pressure plates and fasteners which enable glazing contractors to meet tighter deadlines, while still accomplishing design and performance objectives for architects and building owners.
Stacked joints within the unitized system are designed to account for building movement, while two-piece verticals that allow for a continuous snap engagement maximize strength. The system has been tested in accordance with all major standards for curtain walls.
A 2-1/2 inch profile and flexible options present a wide range of design opportunities. Four-sided captured exterior covers allow for clear sightlines, while structural silicone glazed (SSG) configurations with a sleek, all glass appearance deliver a seamless transition between units. |
en | N/A | N/A | To identify the best lipid nanoparticles for delivery of purified Cas9 protein and gRNA complexes (Cas9 RNPs) into mammalian cells and to establish the optimal conditions for transfection.
Using a systematic approach, we screened 60 transfection reagents using six commonly-used mammalian cell lines and identified a novel transfection reagent (named Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX). Based on statistical analysis, the genome modification efficiencies in Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX-transfected cell lines were 40 or 15 % higher than those in Lipofectamine 3000 or RNAiMAX-transfected cell lines, respectively. Upon optimization of transfection conditions, we observed 85, 75 or 55 % genome editing efficiencies in HEK293FT cells, mouse ES cells, or human iPSCs, respectively. Furthermore, we were able to co-deliver donor DNA with Cas9 RNPs into a disrupted EmGFP stable cell line, resulting in the generation of up to 17 % EmGFP-positive cells.
Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX was characterized as the best lipid nanoparticles for the delivery of Cas9 RNPs into a variety of mammalian cell lines, including mouse ES cells and iPSCs.

The online version of this article (doi: 10.1007/s<PHONE>-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
The use of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) facilitates the delivery of active proteins into cells (Copolovici et al. 2014; Erazo-Oliveras et al. 2014; Jo et al. 2014). The delivery of purified Cas9 protein and gRNA complexes (Cas9 RNPs) has gained increasing attention due to the high cleavage efficiency and potentially lower off-target effect compared with plasmid DNA transfection (Kim et al. 2014; Zuris et al. 2015; Liang et al. 2015). Although Cas9 RNPs can be delivered into mammalian cells via electroporation with relatively high efficiency, lipid-mediated transfection remains popular due to ease of use, low cost, and adaptation to high throughput system. Several methods for delivery of Cas9 RNPs have been reported. Through conjugation of a cell-penetrating peptide to Cas9 protein and complexation of gRNA with CPPs, the subsequent Cas9 RNPs were able to deliver into HEK293T, HeLa, NCCIT (human embryonal carcinoma cell line), HDF (human dermal fibroblasts), and H9 human embryonic stem cells with up to 36 % genome modification efficiency (Ramakrishna et al. 2014). A method termed iTOP (induced transduction by osmocytosis and propanebetaine) allows the highly efficient transduction of native proteins into a wide variety of primary cell types (D’Astolfo et al. 2015). Furthermore, by fusing to negatively supercharged GFP proteins or binding to anionic nucleic acids, functional proteins could be delivered into mammalian cells via cationic lipid-mediated transfection. As described, Cas9 RNPs delivered into U2OS cells using Lipofectamine 2000 resulted in up to 80 % modification efficiency at an integrated GFP reporter and Cas9 RNPs delivered into the mouse inner ear in vivo using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX resulted in 20 % loss of GFP expression in auditory sensory cells (Zuris et al. 2015). However, significant toxicity from Lipofectamine 2000 was also reported in U2OS cells. In the present study, we screened a large set of transfection reagents using relatively easy and hard-to-transfect cell lines and identified a new transfection reagent, Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX, which worked significantly better than Lipofectamine 3000 or Lipofectamine RNAiMAX with very low cell toxicity.
Systematic design of experiments used for screening transfection reagents
The screening of transfection reagents was conducted in a 96-well format. 1 day prior to transfection, six commonly used cell lines, A549, HEK293, HeLa, HepG2, MCF-7, and U2OS, were seeded in 96-well plates at 10,000–20,000 cells per well. On the day of transfection, a master mix of Cas9 protein and HPRT1 gRNA was prepared in Opti-MEM medium and incubated for 5 min at 25 °C to form the Cas9 RNPs. The amount of Cas9 RNPs was held constant at 40 ng GeneArt Platinum Cas9 nuclease and 8.5 ng gRNA per well. On the other hand, the amount of each transfection reagent, which was also prepared in Opti-MEM medium, varied from 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 µl per well. Lipofectamine 3000 and Lipofectamine RNAiMAX served as controls. The Cas9 RNPs in Opti-MEM medium were added to the transfection reagents diluted in Opti-MEM medium. The mixture was incubated at 25 °C for 10–15 min to form the Cas9 RNPs and transfection reagent complexes, followed by addition to the cells. After incubation for 48 h, the cells were lysed and percentage of Indel (insertion and deletion) was measured by GeneArt Genomic Cleavage Detection Kit. The experimental data was then analyzed using JMP, Version 11. SAS Institute Inc. (Cary, NC, USA).
Cell transfection in a 24-well plate using CRISPRMAX
One day prior to transfection, adherent cells were plated onto 24-well plates at 0.4 to 1.5 × 105 cells per well in 500 µl of growth medium so that the cells reached 30–70 % confluence at the time of transfection. On the day of transfection, 25 µl of Opti-MEM medium was added to a 1.5 ml sterile Eppendorf tube, followed by the addition of 500 ng GeneArt Platinum Cas9 nuclease and 125 ng gRNA. Upon mixing by vortexing briefly, 1 µl Cas9 Plus reagent was added to the solution containing Cas9 protein and gRNA. After briefly vortexing, the mixture was incubated at 25 °C for 5 min to allow the formation of Cas9 RNPs. The Cas9 RNPs remained active at 25 °C for up to 2 h. For co-delivery of donor DNA, 500 ng single strand DNA oligonucleotide or 300 ng linear PCR fragment was added to the Cas9 RNPs at this point. Meanwhile, 25 µl Opti-MEM medium was added to a separate sterile Eppendorf tube, followed by addition of 1.5 µl of Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX. After briefly vortexing, the Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX solution was incubated at 25 °C for approx. 5 min. After incubation, the Cas9 RNPs were then added to the Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX solution. The reverse addition of Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX solution to the Cas9 RNPs was found to decrease the editing efficiency in certain cell lines. Upon mixing, the sample was incubated at 25 °C for 10–15 min to form Cas9 RNPs and Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX complexes and then added to the cells. At 48–72 h post-transfection, the cells were harvested for analysis of genome modification efficiency using GeneArt Genomic Cleavage Detection kit. Alternatively, cells were analyzed by flow cytometry to determine the percentage of EmGFP positive cells.
For transfection of human iPSC, the cells were treated with TrypLE and plated onto Geltrex-coated 24-well plates at 40,000 cells per well, leading to approx. 30–40 % confluence at the time of transfection. One µg GeneArt Platinum Cas9 nuclease, 250 ng gRNA and 6 µl Cas9 Plus reagent were used to prepare the Cas9 RNPs instead, while the amount of Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX reagent remained constant at 1.5 µl. At around 6 h post-transfection, the media containing the transfection reagent was removed and replaced with fresh Essential 8 Medium. The cells were analyzed at 48 h post-transfection.
A ‘reverse’ transfection protocol was used to transfect MCF-7 and HepG2 cells. In this case, the Cas9 RNPs and Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX reagent were prepared in two separate tubes as described above with 500 ng GeneArt Platinum Cas9 nuclease, 125 ng gRNA, and 1 µl Cas9 Plus reagent in Tube-1, and 1.5 µl Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX reagent in Tube-2, respectively. The Cas9 RNPs solution was then transferred to the Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX solution. Upon vortexing, the mixture was incubated at 25 °C for 10–15 min to form the Cas9 RNPs and Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX complexes. Meanwhile, MCF-7 and HepG2 cells were detached with TrypLE and counted, followed by seeding at 2 × 105 and 1.0 × 105 cells per well, respectively. The Cas9 RNP/Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX solution was then added directly to the cell suspension and incubated for 48–72 h prior to analysis.
For Neon electroporation, adherent cells were detached from culture dishes and counted. In general, 105 adherent cells or 2 × 105 suspension cells were used per 10 µl reaction. For the Neon 24-well optimization protocol, 24 µg Cas9 protein and 6 µg gRNA were added to 120 µl Resuspension Buffer R, followed by mixing and incubation at 25 °C for 5 min to form the Cas9 RNPs. 2.4 × 106 adherent cells or 4.8 × 106 suspension cells were harvested and washed with DPBS. After aspiration, the cell pellets were re-suspended in 120 µl Resuspension Buffer R and then mixed with Cas9 RNPs. A 10 µl sample was taken for each electroporation using one of the Neon 24-well optimization conditions. The electroporated cells were transferred immediately to a 24 well containing 500 µl corresponding growth medium and incubated for 48 h prior to analysis. Upon optimization, the use of a higher dose of Cas9 RNPs (for example, 2 µg Cas9 protein and 500 ng gRNA per reaction) could further increase the cleavage efficiency (Liang et al. 2015).
Genomic cleavage assay
The genomic modification efficiency was determined by GeneArt Genomic Cleavage Detection kit as described in the manual. The targeting gRNA sequence: 5′-gcatttctcagtcctaaacaggg-3′ was used to edit HPRT1 locus. At 48 h post-transfection, suspension cells were harvested by centrifugation and then washed with DPBS, whereas adherent cells were washed directly with DPBS. Cells were lysed with 20 µl cell lysis buffer per 96-well or 50 µl cell lysis buffer per 24-well. Upon treatment with Proteinase K at 68 °C for 15 min, the mixture was held at 95 °C for 10 min. One to 3 µl of cell lysate was then used for PCR amplification with AmpliTaq Gold 360 Master Mix in the presence of the corresponding forward and reverse primers. For the HPRT1 target, a forward primer: 5′-acatcagcagctgttctg-3′ and a reverse primer: 5′- ggctgaaaggagagaact-3′ were used. The PCR program was set at 95 °C for 3 min for one cycle, then at 95 °C for 30 s, 55 °C for 30 s, and 72 °C for 30 s for a total of 40 cycles. Final extension was set at 72 °C for 5 min. The resulting PCR product (3 µl) was mixed with 1 µl of 10x Detection Reaction Buffer and 5 µl water, and then subjected to denaturation and re-annealing at 95 °C for 5 min, 4 °C for 5 min, 37 °C for 5 min, and then 4 °C for 5 min. Finally, 1 μl 10× detection enzyme was added to the sample and then incubated at 37 °C for 1 h. The digested product was analyzed with a 2 % E-gel EX agarose. The percentage of cleavage was quantified using an AlphaImager gel documentation system running AlphaView, Version 3.4.0.0. ProteinSimple (San Jose, CA, USA).
Generation of a disrupted EmGFP stable cell line for homologous recombination assay
GripTite HEK293 stable cells expressing EmGFP were prepared via the Jump-In system as described in the manual (Thermo Fisher Scientific). To generate a disrupted EmGFP mutant stable cell line, 1.5 µg of GeneArt Platinum Cas9 nuclease was associated with 300 ng gRNA targeting the 5′-ctcgtgaccaccttcacctacgg-3′ sequence in the EmGFP reporter gene (T1) and were then transfected into wild type EmGFP cells via electroporation, followed by limiting dilution to isolate clonal cell lines. Upon DNA sequencing, a disrupted EmGFP stable cell line with the 5′-CACCTT-3′ deletion was selected for a homologous recombination assay (Supplementary Table 1).
To create homologous recombination assays, a gRNA targeting the 5′-gaagcactgcacgccgtaggtgg-3′sequence within the disrupted EmGFP reporter gene (T2) was designed and synthesized. This gRNA only recognized the disrupted EmGFP gene but not the wild type EmGFP gene. One day prior to transfection, the cells were seeded on a 24 well plate at 105 per well. 500 ng of GeneArt Platinum Cas9 nuclease and 125 ng gRNA were transfected into the disrupted EmGFP stable cell line using 1.5 µl Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX in the presence or absence of 500 ng of a 97 bp single-stranded DNA oligonucleotide (5′-catgtggtcggggtagcgggcgaagcactgcacgccgtaggtgaaggtggtcacgagggtgggccagggcacgggcagcttgccggtggtgcagatg-3′) or 300 ng of a 400 bp linear wild type PCR fragment amplified using a forward primer 5′-atggtgagcaagggcgaggagctg-3′ and a reverse primer 5′-gtcctccttgaagtcgatgccc-3′ (Supplementary Table 2). At 48 h post-transfection, the restoration of EmGFP function was determined by flow cytometric analysis with an Attune NxT Acoustic Focusing Cytometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
Identification of Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX
To identify the best transfection reagents for delivery of Cas9 RNPs, initially we compared several commercially available protein transfection reagents, including Lipofectamine 2000, Lipofectamine 3000, Lipofectamine RNAiMAX, Lipofectamine MeassengerMax, TurboFect, and Xfect Protein transfection reagent. Cas9 protein and HPRT1 gRNA were transfected into HEK293 and HCT116 cell lines according to manufacturer’s protocol. Upon 48 h post-transfection, the cells were harvested to analyze the genome modification efficiencies. As depicted in Fig. 1a, the Indel (insertions and deletions) production efficiencies were highest when using Lipofectamine 3000 or Lipofectamine RNAiMAX transfection reagents. Next, we used Lipofectamine 3000 and Lipofectamine RNAiMAX as controls and screened more than 60 transfection reagents. Screening was conducted in a 96-well format using three easy-to-transfect cell lines (HEK293, HeLa, and U2OS) and three hard-to-transfect cell lines (HepG2, A549, and MCF-7). Cells were seeded on 96-well plates 1 day prior to transfection. On the day of transfection, the Cas9 protein was incubated with HPRT1 gRNA at 25 °C for 5 min in Opti-MEM medium to form the Cas9 RNPs, followed by mixing with various amount of transfection reagents in Opti-MEM medium. The percentage of Indels was determined using the GeneArt genomic cleavage detection assay at 48 h post-transfection. Among all the formulations, only a few worked equally well or better than Lipofectamine RNAiMAX with one formulation (Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX) standing out.
Identification of Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX. a One day prior to transfection, HEK293 and HCT116 were seeded on a 24 well plate at 105 cells per well. On the day of transfection, 500 ng Cas9 protein and 120 ng HPRT1 gRNA were transfected with either Lipofectamine 2000 (LF2K), Lipofectamine 3000 (LF3K), Lipofectamine MessengerMAX, Lipofectamine RNAiMAX, TurboFect or Xfect transfection reagent according to manufacturer’s protocol. At 48 h post-transfection, cells were harvested to perform genomic cleavage assays. The % of Indel was quantified using AlphaView software. The data was analyzed using JMP statistical software. The bar graph represented the mean and standard deviation of three independent experiments of two cell lines. b, c A549, HEK293, HepG2, HeLa, MCF-7 and U2OS were seeded on 96-well plates at approx. 20,000 cells per well and then transfected with 40 ng Cas9 protein and 8.5 ng HPRT gRNA using either Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX, Lipofectamine RNAiMAX or Lipofectamine 3000. After 48 h post-transfection, the cells were lysed and subjected to a genomic cleavage assay. The results were processed using JMP11 software. b was the Box Plot of Indel frequencies comparing Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX to Lipofectamine RNAiMAX in six different cell lines. c was one-way ANOVA analysis of % Indel by type of lipid with blocking of cell type. Each dot represented one experimental data point. The diamond represented the 95 % confidence interval for the mean of each group. The circles were visual representations of group mean comparisons using Student’s t-tests. The p value was less than 0.05
As shown in Fig. 1b, the percentage of Indels in cells transfected with Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX was higher than those with Lipofectamine RNAiMAX, especially in A549, HeLa and HepG2 cell lines. Based on statistical analysis, the genome cleavage efficiencies in Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX-transfected cell lines were significantly higher than those in Lipofectamine 3000 or RNAiMAX-transfected cell lines, with an average increase of 40 or 15 %, respectively, across six different cell lines (Fig. 1c). The visual comparison of group means using Student’s t-tests, represented by the circles, showed that Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX, Lipofectamine 3000 and RNAiMAX were significantly different from each other as the circles did not intersect.
Time course of Cas9 RNPs activity
Upon identification of Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX as the best transfection reagent, we determined the functional activity of Cas9 RNPs by examining the times required for complexation of Cas9 protein with gRNA (Cas9 RNPs) and Cas9 RNPs with Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX in A549, HEK293, and HeLa cells. As shown in Fig. 2a, the Cas9 RNPs remained active at 25 °C for up to 3 h based on the genome cleavage assay. On the other hand, the diluted Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX were only active at 25 °C for 5–15 min as a longer incubation time had a decreased cleavage efficiency (Fig. 2b). When the Cas9 RNPs were mixed with Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX the editing efficiency dropped after 10–15 min indicating that the addition of Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX was the limiting step (Fig. 2c).
Activities of Cas9 RNP complexes and Cas9 RNP/Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX complexes. One day prior to transfection, cells were seeded on a 96 well plates. A master mixes of Cas9 RNP complexes and Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX were prepared in Opti-MEM media based upon 40 ng Cas9 protein, 8.5 ng gRNA, and 0.3 µl Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX per well. The incubation times of Cas9 RNP (a), Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX (b), and Cas9 RNP/Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX complexes (c) served as dependent variables. At the indicated time point, aliquots of Cas9 RNP complexes in Opti-MEM were added to aliquots of Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX solution and incubated for indicated time prior to addition to A549, HEK293, and HeLa cells, respectively. Upon 48 h post-transfection, the genome cleavage efficiencies were determined
Main factors regulating transfection efficiency
Next, we examined the key factors that governed the transfection efficiency by varying the dose of transfection reagent, the amount of Cas9 RNPs, and cell density. Six commonly used cell lines were transfected with increasing amount of Cas9 RNPs, followed by genome cleavage assay. As shown in Fig. 3a, the efficiency of Indel production in transfected cells increased with an increase of Cas9 RNPs. The differences between the doses were statistically significant because the group mean comparisons represented by the circles did not intersect and the p value was <0.05. To transfect cells in a 96-well plate, the optimal amounts of Cas9 protein and gRNA were approx. 120 and 25.5 ng respectively. Cell seeding density plays an important role in regulating the transfection efficiency. As depicted in Fig. 3b, the average genome modification efficiency across six different cell lines was significantly higher at 60 % cell confluence than at 80 % cell confluence at the time of transfection with a p value less than 0.05. However, no significant difference in editing efficiency was observed between low and high lipid doses (Fig. 3c). Other factors, such as cell passage and dissociation, also contributed to daily variation in cell transfection and Indel efficiency.
Factors regulating transfection efficiencies. a A549, HEK293, HepG2, HeLa, MCF-7 and U2OS were seeded on 96-well plates at two cell densities and then transfected with either 40 ng Cas9 protein and 8.5 ng gRNA (1×), 80 ng Cas9 protein and 17 ng gRNA (2×) or 120 ng Cas9 protein and 25.5 ng gRNA (3×) using either 0.2 or 0.4 µl Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX. The editing efficiency was determined at 48 h post-transfection. The Indel percentage was determined using the AlphaView software and the resulting data was processed using JMP11 software. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) analysis of % Indel by dose of Cas9 RNP (a), cell density (b), and amount of transfection reagent (c) were carried out across six different cell lines. Each dot represented one data point, whereas the diamond represented the 95 % confidence interval. The circles were visual views of group mean comparisons using Student’s t-tests. The p value was less than 0.05
Low cell toxicity of Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX
We then scaled up to 24 wells to test a set of 23 cell lines, including a variety of adherent and suspension cells from different species. The morphologies of more than a dozen adherent cell lines were recorded prior to transfection and at 48 h post-transfection (Supplementary Fig. 1). Most of the cells looked healthy under the microscope with examples shown in Fig. 4a, very little floating dead cells were observed upon 48 h post-transfection for A549, HeLa, HEK293, and human epidermal keratinocytes (HEKa). Cell viability assays with Trypan Blue indicated that the viable cells only decreased moderately after transfection compared to control cells, suggesting that the cell toxicity induced by Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX was relatively low (Fig. 4b). We observed around 68, 71, 80, and 35 % genome cleavage efficiencies in A549, HeLa, HEK293, and HEKa primary cell lines, respectively (Fig. 4c). The low cell toxicity of Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX prompted us to transfect cells at much lower cell density so as to increase the transfection efficiency (Table 1 and Supplementary Table 3). For example, N2A, mouse ESC and iPSC were grown to 35, 25 and 30 % confluence at the time of transfection (Supplementary Table 3) and achieved 70, 75 and 55 % genome editing efficiencies at mouse Rosa26 and human HPRT1 loci, respectively (Table 1). The improved efficiencies were probably due to the higher accessibility of transfection reagents at low cell density. However, the optimal cell density was highly dependent on cell type and needed to be determined experimentally.
Cell toxicity using Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX. a Prior to transfection and at 48 h post-transfection, the morphologies of A549, HeLa, HEK293, and human epidermal keratinocytes (HEKa) were examined by an IncuCyte instrument, Essen BioScience Inc. (Ann Arbor, MI, USA). b Cell viabilities were measured by Trypan Blue staining before 0 and after 48 h post-transfection. c The genome modification efficiencies were determined at 48 h post-transfection

Neon electroporation
Mouse liver carcinoma
Human umbilical vein endothelium
Mouse Rosa26, human HPRT1, monkey Nr0b1, and hamster COSMC loci were selected for genome editing. The average and standard deviation from Neon electroporation were calculated based on the top three protocols. Detailed electroporation protocol was described in Table 4s
Comparison of Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX to electroporation
Suspension cells, especially hematopoietic cells, are difficult to transfect by conventional lipid reagents (Papapetrou et al. 2005). We also found that hematopoietic cells were hard to transfect using Lipofectamine 3000, Lipofectamine RNAiMAX, and Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX. For each hard-to-transfect cell line, we tested the delivery of Cas9 RNPs using the Neon 24-well optimization protocol (Supplementary Table 4). For example, using electroporation we achieved 94, 91 and 44 % Indel production efficiencies in Jurkat T cells, K562 and SC-1 cells respectively at the HPRT1 locus, whereas relatively low genome modification efficiencies were observed using Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX in these suspension cell lines (Table 1).
Precise genome editing using Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX
Precise gene modification, such as single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) correction in cancer cells, is an important aspect in biomedical and clinical applications (Lee 2012). For a proof of concept, we tested the co-delivery of various amount of donor DNA with Cas9 RNPs into a stable GripTite HEK293 cell line harboring a disrupted EmGFP gene using Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX. Delivery of Cas9 RNPs alone or Cas9 protein plus donor DNA was used as controls. After 48 h post-transfection, the cells were examined by a fluorescence microscope and images were recorded (Fig. 5a). The transfected cells were subjected to flow cytometric analysis to determine the percentage of EmGFP positive cells. As shown in Fig. 5b, approx. 17 % of the cells restored the function of EmGFP when 500 ng 97 bp ssDNA oligonucleotide (ssODN) was used, whereas approx. 6.5 % of EmGFP positive cells were observed when 300 ng of a 400 bp dsDNA fragment was used. The homologous recombination efficiency we obtained is comparable to those observed by other research groups. For example, the delivery of Cas9 RNPs and ssODN into unsynchronized HEK293T cells via nucleofection yielded around 10 % HDR frequencies, although up to 38 % HDR efficiency was observed in synchronized cells (Lin et al. 2014). The delivery of Cas9 RNPs and ssODN into an EGFP-repair reporter cell line using Lipofectamine 2000 resulted in 8–11 % of HDR frequencies (Zuris et al. 2015). Although the HDR efficiency is getting better, there is undoubtedly room for further improvement.
Co-delivery of Cas9 RNP and donor DNA. Various amount of a 97 bp single-stranded DNA oligonucleotide (ssDNA) or a 400 bp double-stranded DNA fragment (dsDNA) was co-delivered with Cas9 RNPs into a disrupted EmGFP stable cell line in 24-well culture plates. After 48 h post-transfection, the percentages of GFP positive cells were quantified using flow cytometric analysis. Delivery of Cas9 RNP or Cas9 plus donor DNA (Cas9/D) served as controls. The experiments were performed in triplicate
Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX is more robust than Lipofectamine RNAiMAX and several other transfection reagents in delivery of Cas9 protein/gRNA complexes into a variety of cell lines. However, delivery of the Cas9 RNPs by Neon electroporation was effective across all different cell lines tested and often was the only method that could produce Indels in difficult to transfect suspension cell lines. Because of the ease of use and low toxicity, Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX will further facilitate high throughput drug screening and genome editing where electroporation is less applicable.

Within the framework of coupled meteorological-hydrological predictions, this study aims at comparing two high-resolution meteorological ensembles, covering short and medium range. The two modelling systems have similar characteristics, as almost the same number of members, the model resolution (about 7 km), the driving ECMWF global ensemble prediction system, but are obtained through different methodologies: the former is a multi-model ensemble, based on three mesoscale models (BOLAM, COSMO, and WRF), while the latter follows a single-model approach, based on COSMO-LEPS (Limited-area Ensemble Prediction System), the operational ensemble forecasting system developed within the COSMO consortium. Precipitation forecasts are evaluated in terms of hydrological response, after coupling the meteorological models with a distributed rainfall-runoff model (TOPKAPI) to simulate the discharge of the Reno river (Northern Italy), for a severe weather episode. Although a single case study does not allow for robust and definite conclusions, the comparison among different predictions points out a remarkably better performance of mesoscale model ensemble forecasts compared to global ones. Moreover, the multi-model ensemble outperforms the single model approach. </s> A few weeks ago we held a pre-order for the Bus Pirate V2go, the first official Hack a Day hardware.

In present day electronic systems it is common practice to package sub-unit assemblies in individual chassis. These sub-unit chassis 'are generally provided with plug-in connectors in order to make electrical connection with the other sub-unit chassis of the system. With prior art connectors available for this purpose, it is necessary to assemble each sub-unit chassis with its cable connections, and special tools `are required for the removal of each connector receptacle from the mounting cup provided on each chassis. In addition, due to tolerance accumulation it is often necessary to provide each connector with only short contact engagement which results in malfunctioning of the equipment due to vibration, movement, etc.
Another disadvantage of prior tart connectors is that where a plurality of connections is necessary on a particular chassis, the spacing between each connector must be held within close tolerances. This often results in contact deformation during prolongedr with longer contact engagement and with a oating mount.
These and fconnector of the present invention will 'ilied by the same reference numeral.
FIGURE 2 illustrates the two sub-units of FIGURE l in electrical contact, the View being partially in cross- Section in order to illustrate structural details and,
Referring now t-o the figuremale receptacle designated in general by the numeral and a male mating plug designated in general by the numeral `11. The receptacle 10 and plug 11 are both adapted to be mounted in separate chassis which are to be electrically interconnected. As illustrated in FIGURE l, the receptacle 10 is shown mounted in a deck 12, and the plug 11 is shown mounted in la deck 13.
Thral 18. The sleeve portion 20 of the receptacle body 1S is adapted for insertion within the cup 114 and lingers 19 as illustrated in FIGURE 1. The sleeve 20 of the receptacle body 18 is provided with fa plurality of spaced elongated fingers 19 in order to render the -sleeve portion 20 flexible for a purpose to be presently described.
The receptacle body 18 is formed integrally with or has attached thereto, a cable extension or `sleeve 33 which is positioned 'at right angles with respect to the sleeve 20. It is to be understood however that the cable extension 33 may be axially aligned with the sleeve portion 30. The cable sleeve 33 has a bore 34 therein to receive the cable 28.
When the assembly of the female receptacle 10 has been completed, the sleeve 20 is inserted in the cup 14 and to facilitate this entrance, the end of the cup and the -annular collar 22 on the ends of the fingers 19 are provided with beveled edges. When the sleeve 20 is completely inserted in the cup 14 the collar 22 snaps into the recess 21 thereby retaining the receptacle body 18 in position with regard to the cup 14. It it is desired to remove the receptacle body 18 from the cup 14 a slight twisting and pulling motion is exerted on the body 1S which cornpresses the ngers 19 and makes extraction simple and complete. It is to be noted that this snap-in type of engagement eliminates engagement problems and permits complete assemblies to be snapped into and out of engagement Without tools.
The right-hand end of the body 42 as viewed in FIG- URES 2 and 3 is in the form of a cylinder 47 which is adapted to be received in telescoping relationship within the cavity 48 provided in the receptacle body 18 of the receptacle 10. The cavity 43 is provided between the inner circumference of the sleeve 20 and the outer circumference of the female insulator 24. The cavity 48 and cylinder 47 are so sized and shaped that when the cylinder 47 is inserted within the cavity 48 the fingers 19 on the sleeve 2b are biased outwardly thereby further pressing the annular collar 22 on the fingers 19 within the recess 21 provided on the inner surface of the cup 14. Thus, when the mating of the plug 11 and receptacle 10 is complete the plug 11 forces the spring fingers 19 of the receptacle still further into lthe internal recess 21 of the cup 14, which thereby renders the receptacle immune to inadvertent disconnection. The end of the cylinder 47 and the lingers 19 are beveled in order to prevent any deformation during use. It is to be noted that with this type of connector a floating action is maintained which compensates for unavoidable tolerances in mounting hole locations.
The male contact 30, which is partially hollow to receive the cable lead 49, is molded into a dielectric insulating material 50. The insulator 50 conforms Ito the inner configuration of the cylinder 47 and is force-fitted therein and is retained in position by engagement with the shoulder 51 provided `on the inner circumference of the plug body 42. If it is not desired to mold the insulator 50 about the male contact 31), the latter may be retained 1 1. in position within the insulator by providing the male contact with a flange 52 which bears against a shoulder 53 provided on the end of the insulator 50.
As with the receptable 10, cable assembly is facilitated with the plug 11 since the cable may be assembled to the plug 11 before installation of the plug 11 in the deck 13. The interconnection between the cable 54 and the plug 11 is accomplished as follows. A gland nut 55 and braid clamp 56 are first slipped over the end of the cable 54. A portion of the outer insulation (not shown) on the cable 54 is removed to a point adjacent the outer face of the braid clamp 56. The metallic braid 57 is then turned back over the braid clamp 56. The inner insulation 71 is then removed to a point adjacent the portion of the metallic braid 57 wrapped around the braid clamp S6. This exposes the cable lead 49. An insulator spacer 58 is then `slipped over the cable lead 49 and into abutment with the braid clamp 56. The cable lead 49 is then inserted Within the male pin 30 and is soldered or otherwise `fastened in position. This is accomplished by providing a solder hole 59 in the male contact 30 through which solder may be inserted to rigidly secure the cable lead 49 to the male contact 30. When this has been done, the gland nut 55 is tightened which secures the entire assembly together.
The connectob-unit chassis which must be electrically interconnected at a number of different points. This is accomplished by mounting a plurality of plugs 11 at specified locations on the deck 13 of one sub-unit, and a like plurality of receptacles 1t) at specified locations ion the deck 12 of a main chassis. The sub-units may then be electrically connected by simply mating the plug bodies 42 of each plug 11 with a receptacle 10. lt is to be noted that the receptacle body 15 may be easily disconnected from the cup 14 provided the receptacle 10 is not engaged with the plug 11 and that this disconnection of the receptacle body 18 from the cup 14 is Virtually impossible when the plug and receptacle are interconnected. The extra electrical contact length between the male contact pin 30 and the female contact 25 insures reliable electrical connection under all conditions without appreciably increasing over-all height and this increased length provides a wiping action which minimizes corrosion.
The connector of the present invention provides superior electrical continuity between the interconnected cables. For example, actual measurements have indicated that the VSWR (volts :standing Wave ratio) measured at 1000 mc. is less than 1.2 and approximately 1.05 measured at 300 mc.
1. A connector comprising first and second base plates mechanically joinable -in substantially fixed relationship to each other; a first connector member xedly attached to said first plate and extending therefrom and comprising first and `second conductors in fixed, spaced relationship to each other; a second connector member comprising an outer portion rigidly attached at one end thereof to said second plate and an elongated inner portion recessed within said outer portion and extending beyond the other end of said outer portion, said inne-r portion having an outwardly extending iiange fitting into a channel within said vouter portion to be held thereby, said inner portion being longitudinally divided along a substantial portion of its length to said other end of the outer apanage portion and having outer `dimensions smaller than the inner `dimensions of said outer portion to permit a limited lateral movement of said inner portion within the outer portion, the outermost end of said rst connector member fitting into the recess of said second connector member to spread said longitudinally divided inner portion and causing said flange to fit farther into said channel, said inner portion comprising third and fourth conductors fixedly spaced apart with respect to each other and positioned to connect with the first and second conductors of said first connector member, respectively.

en | N/A | N/A | “Now it happened that it came the turn for Zechariah (the father of John the Baptist), being a priest, to serve in the Lord’s inner sanctuary, there to offer incense to the Lord. During this hour of incense, the worshipers gathered for prayers outside the inner sanctuary.” – Luke 1:8-11
The writer of the Revelation writes, “Next I saw seven trumpets being given to seven angels, who stand in the Presence of God. Another angel, who held a golden censer, came and stood by the altar. A large quantity of incense was given to the angelstood in front of the throne; and so from the angel’s hand the smoke of the incense went up in the Presence of God and with it the prayers of the saints.” – Revelation 8:2-4
I do not believe I have ever used incense in my Methodist ministry. Oh, there was the fragrance of the altars flowers and, on occasion, as I preached I could smell the fragrance of the after-church meal being prepared in the church kitchen … and, of course, those ladies who tend to go a little overboard with the perfume … but incense smoking from a censer … no, never did that. But, now that I contemplate on the matter … I wonder why?
In my churches, my sight was blessed with the beauty of stained-glass windows, my hearing was blessed by the Church music, my touch was inspired by the feel of the wood of the cross and the rust of the nails, my taste was touched by the bread and the wine … but, as to my God-given given sense of “smell” … somehow it went neglected. I wonder why … when our God-given gift of sensing fragrance was so powerfully set within our being. I have read that our sense of smell is our most finely tuned of all our senses!
So during a quiet hour this morning … I tried to bring to mind the scent memories that reside in my soul….it took awhile, but eventually I did bring them back to life …
I recalled the fragrance of fresh bread being baked in the oven by my Grandmother … and how that scent always brought to me the warmth of home.
I recalled the fragrance of the mountain pines when I would retreat into the hills for time alone with God … and how that scent now always brings to mind the wonder of loftier places.
I recalled the fragrance of smoky leaf piles burning in the Canadian October air … and how that scent still brings to me a gentle peace with the relentless passing of time.
I recalled the fragrance of the baby powder after giving my infant sons their baths … and how that scent reminds me that purity and innocence can still be among us.
And I recalled the fragrance of my wife’s long, curly hair, that faint scent of apple blossoms when we dance cheek to cheek … and how that scent reminds me how much I am in love.
And then I wonder … praying that on the breeze the fragrance of heaven might waft my way … and it had the fragrance of waterfalls and oak fires in the fireplace and cups of orange spice tea on cold December nights and glasses of sugary-tart lemonade on hot August days …
So, my Loved Ones, take a long, slow whiff some night when you sit quietly in a candlelight time of prayer … and imagine the heavenly realms that are far, far closer than we tend to think … |

You’re right: no, you haven’t, and yes, they are. The distinction between just Z/2-graded and “super” that Qiaochu is referring to is still worth observing though.
Well, exterior algebras are natural-graded (and graded-commutative, within that context). Yes, it’s possible to “roll” a natural-graded algebra into a

The first human traces in the territory of Pergine Valdarno go back to the Prehistoric Age, although the first residential settlements started to form during the Roman Atify.
Since 1350, once entered the Florentine orbit, the village of Pergine Valdarno became a very interesting residential place for the Florentine middle class. This latter started to invest in those lands that reached a great economic development.
Since the XV-th century the village was governed by the Medici's Grand Dukes, who were previously came to the power in Florence.
In 1568 the Grand Dukes constituted the so called "District of the Five Commons", of which the localities of Badia di Agnano, Migliari, Montozzi, Pergine and San Pancrazio were part. Thus the common of Pergine Valdarno was formed.
The territorial organization established by the Medici's Grand Dukes continued even duringne Pergine Valdarno we remind h), the Chiesa di Santa Maria a Vallelunga (Saint Mary Church in Vallelunga), the Museo di Archeologia Industriale (Museum of Industrial Archaeology) and the "Riserva Naturale della Valle dell'Inferno e Bandella" (Natural Park of the Inferno valley and Bandell. </s> PersonalityEdit

en | N/A | N/A | Why is JSON useful?
Web scraping is a valuable tool for enterprising businesses because it enables the collection of information from essentially anywhere on the internet. Generally, this is done with some kind of proxy that imitates a typical web browser. It interacts with websites in a manner very similar to how real people interact with the sites they visit. When programmed properly, proxies perfectly replicate human behavior while eliminating human errors.
There are many reasons why web scraping has become so popular lately. The number one reason for its popularity can largely be attributed to the fact that most companies have some sort of website that they need to maintain or update regularly. More website means more data to collect and a greater need for highly efficient software tools.
Tech managers looking to add tools to their arsenal ought to learn what it means to parse JSON with Python and the benefits it provides. Additionally, if you’re looking to purchase proxies for web scraping, you should learn more about parsing JSON data with Python first.
JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation. It launched in the early 2000s just as people were beginning to fully realize the power of the internet. Computer programmer Douglas Crockford and software architect Chip Morningstar sent the first JSON message in April of 2001. Crockford bought a domain for JSON.org in 2002, publishing their JSON’s grammar and other useful information so that more users could easily implement JSON in their projects. This, combined with the ease of learning and implementing JSON parsing, enabled JSON to quickly gain popularity.
JSON is a lightweight data interchange format derived from JavaScript object notation syntax. It’s a text-based format used for representing data structures such as lists, maps, dictionaries, and arrays. You can write the code for reading and generating JSON data in any programming language. JSON is famous for being very easy to learn and intuitive to use.
Overall, JSON has a lot of similarities to XML, so if you’re familiar with one, you should be able to easily learn the other. However, unlike XML, JSON is human-readable. Over the last couple of years, JSON has dramatically overtaken XML in terms of the sheer number of users. Plus, JSON has a few other advantages compared to XML.
It saves time because there’s no need to parse XML files every time you want to use them.
You don’t need a special parser program to work with JSON.
It’s much faster than XML.
JSON files are small compared to XML files.
When parsing JSON, you must use your own programming language to determine what kind of information the JSON object contains.
JSON files cannot include variables like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
JSON files must be encoded and decoded manually.
There are no built-in functions to check the validity of the JSON data.
You cannot easily view the source code of a JSON file without using a third-party tool like Firefox’s Firebug extension.
The original Python wa’s been around for quite some time now, and numerous versions of Python exist. Version 2.0 launched back in 1991 and quickly skyrocketed to success. Though most people are familiar with Python 2, Python 3 is relatively unknown and severely underutilized.
Python 3 was released in 2009, and it’s the latest version of Python. It’s basically the same as Python 2 with the exception of a few notable differences. For example, while Python 2 uses integers (32-bit) for variables, Python 3 uses 64-bit integers. In addition, Python 3 comes with new features such as Unicode strings and dictionaries instead of lists.
As with any programming language, Python 3 needs a good text editor to work with. Sublime Text is highly recommended by tech expert using Windows, check out PyCharm or Visual Studio Code. Both are very compatible with Windows systems.
At its core, web scraping is a specific form of data scraping, which is simply the act of taking content from one site and placing it onto another. It’s often done for gathering information. You might utilize web scraping just because you like the content on one of your sites and want to transfer it to a different site. Alternatively, you might want to add new features to your website. As a useful example, we’ll stick with the last point — adding new features to your website.
The problem with most sites today is that no matter how much work goes into their creation, there’s always something missing. Someone could create an awesome-looking website but never add any custom user accounts to it. They also might not allow people to post comments or share articles from the website on social media platforms. So, what do website designers do if they want to add these features?
The best thing to do would be to scrape the existing website and replace it with a better version of itself. You could then use the exact same HTML structure and code that you used before and simply add all the extra features you wanted into the new version of the site.
These kinds of scenarios are when scraping comes in handy. Scraping allows you to take content from one place and place it in another. Its versatility extends beyond websites, too — you can also use it to grab text files from FTP servers, pull in RSS feeds, and more. Virtually any content that you can get from a website you can scrape out and put somewhere else.
These values are known as objects. Every time you see an object on a webpage, it means it was scraped out by a program or script called a scraper.
It’s also good to note that a data center proxy gives you extra security and anonymity in your scrapes. Data center proxies and utilize completely private IP authentication. Rayobyte’s data center proxies can perform billions of web scrapes every month from 26 different countries. When combined with JSON, a good data center proxy is an invaluable web scraping asset.
The best way to understand how JSON works is to contrast it with other common ways of representing data. For instance, if you’re trying to store contact info in a database, you might use a simple text file. Or you could utilize a more structured approach by using an XML document. If you wanted to send some data from one program to another — say, sharing it via email — then you might use something like CSV (Comma Separated Values).
But what about sending data directly over the internet? What would you do? You could files across the web, but this would be slow and cumbersome since each file must be downloaded individually. Alternatively, you could encode your data as a string of characters and send those strings over the internet. This is how things have been done for many years, but it has its drawbacks.
For starters,, you need to know both computers’ IP addresses. And even if you don’t care about the source address, you still need to worry about how long the data will take to reach its destination. The length of time depends on factors such as network congestion and the speed of the recipient computer’s connection.
Imagine what happens when you try to send a large text file over the internet. Large text files don’t just take longer to download — they’re also very likely to get corrupted along the way since the data is being sent in chunks. Imaginetwo computers until all of the data has been successfully transferred. If you send the same file in chunks instead of as a single unit, errors are more likely to occur throughout the process.
So, how can we fix these problems? One option is to use binary encoding, which sends data in blocks rather than individual characters. Another option is to use a standard protocolassigns numbers to letters and allows for easy reading and writing by humans.
But there’s another option that’s rarely discussed despite the many advantages it offers: JSON.
JSON, in essence, is a way of representing data using a compact set of rules. It’s especially useful for transmitting data across the internet because it can be easily read by machines (like browsers) without requiring any human intervention. JSON can help you save space and reduce bandwidth costs while simultaneously making it easier to securely access your data at a futureJSON is that it’s not a programming language itself. Instead, it’s a data serialization format. That means that it’s used to convert data into a machine-readable format. Once you’ve converted the data into a JSON string, you can use it anywhere you need to.
As was mentioned, JSON is commonly used for sending data across the internet. Most websites now offerAPIs are useful, but they often require that developers submit data in a specific format. So instead of having to write code just to handle the transmission of data, developers simply use a tool like the JSON module in Python to convert data into JSON before submitting it.
When someone wants to pull down the data they just created, they’ll receive a JSON response. They can then decode the response to retrieve the original data.
Because JSON uses a dictionary-based syntax, it is often compared to XML. Both are based on a strict structure that defines relationships among multiple pieces of data. In many ways, XML is more flexible than JSON. For instance, XML can include elements that contain nested elements. This makes it much easier to create complex documents.
However, JSON is less verbose than XML. Because JSON doesn’t require nesting, it’s much shorter and simpler to read. Additionally, because JSON is designed specifically for the internet, it’s better suited for transferring data online than CSV or XML.
Let’s look at an example. Imagine you’re building a website that lets users upload photos. To keep track of who uploaded what photo, you’d probably use a relational database system. However, you don’t want to spend a ton of money on hosting a database server. Instead, you decide to use a NoSQL solution that stores data in key-value pairs.
Your next step would likely be to define a schema that includes the following fields: id, name, description, location, and status. Each field contains a unique identifier, and the values stored in each field depend on the type of data being stored.
This JSON object represents a user with ID 1 and whose name is photo1. The value of the status field indicates that the user is active. Notice that the JSON objects can be nested. This is because the user object has a list of properties, including the id, name, and description.
Notice that each property is enclosed within curly brackets. These brackets indicate that the property is part of a larger JSON object. The result is that the JSON string can be parsed back into a Python dictionary.
Once you’ve retrieved the JSON string, you can decode it using the JSON module. This returns a Python dictionary that represents the original data.
With JSON, you can avoid spending time training yourself and your employees in a new programming language. Instead, you can focus your efforts on building cool apps and implementing innovative new technologies. This ease of use makes JSONdevelopment workflow. Plus, it minimizes time lost to hiring new employees or retraining old ones.
If you still feel like you’re not quite sure what web scraping is, here’s a quick rundown. Basically, you want to get all of your important information on a website. You do this by either typing the URL into your browser or clicking a button. Once you’ve done this, the website loads up and displays its content. You then use a script to search through the website’s content looking for specific information.
When you visit a website with your browser, the browser requests a file called a webpage. The webpage is usually stored on an internal server located within the company hosting that website. The browser requests the file by sending an HTTP request to the server, which then responds with the requested webpage server won’t always respond correctly. Sometimes when a webpage is being updated, it takes a while before it actually appears online. Or sometimes the content changes after it has been published. This results in those annoying “this webpage is temporarily down” messages.
To solve the problem of malfunctioning servers, you can use a proxy server to prevent the website from responding directly to the browser request. The proxy server will send a new request and bypass the issues associated with having to wait for the site to load up.
Residential proxy servers help prevent many web scraping issues. Unlike data center proxies, residential proxies use the IP addresses associated with real devices. These IP addresses are supplied by ISPs. Since residential proxies use real, authenticated IP addresses, they don’t trigger anti-scraping technology as easily as data center proxies sometimes do.
Some unethical residential proxy servers do exist. In some cases, people unknowingly consent to terms of service that allow their internet devices to be used as proxies without their awareness. You should protect yourself from legal fallout by only purchasing residential proxies from reputable companies. Businesses like Rayobyte ensure that all their residential proxy servers are ethically sourced and that the device owners are appropriately compensated.
The major benefit of web scraping projects is that once you have scraped the data, you can use it for your own purposes. You can analyze the data, make predictions based on the data, or do anything else you want with the new information you have gathered.
This is the standard library that comes with Python. It is very easy to use if you just want to make a simple request.
This is a small library that allows you to run HTTPS servers on your local machine. You can then access these servers by typing “localhost” into the browser address bar and visiting the port number specified by the server (e.g., 8080).
Once you’re inside the server, you’ll see the webpage that was requested in the response object.
You can also access the HTML source code of the page by adding “.html” to the end of the URL.
If you’d like to use a future-based library rather than blocking, try using this one instead. It’s more advanced than the previous two but still relatively easy to use. Once installed, simply import the library and run your first request.
In this quick tutorial, we’ll go over how to make an HTTP request to httpbin.org with Python. We’ll also cover how to parse the response data into Python code. In order to access this site, you’ll first need to install the requests library for Python. Once you have it installed, let’s get started!
This will take a few moments to complete depending on your internet speed.
Once the cloning process is done, navigate into the new folder that was created and then type ./setup.py install.
Now that the requests library is installed, it’s time to create a simple Python script that makes an HTTP request to the URL we want to fetch data from.
First off, open up a Python IDLE (or another IDE) and create a new file called “ test.py”.
Here, you’re telling Python to import the requests library, which is the best way to handle HTTP requests in Python. Next, you tell Python to execute the line at the top of the file, which is just a string that contains the URL you want to send the HTTP request to.
Finally, once you have entered the code, save your file. When you close the IDLE program, you will see a blank new file pop up under the same name.
It’s crucial to note that any website you wish to download data from will require a different URL than the one used here.
When you have found the correct URL, copy it and paste it into the URL field of the above code. Then press Enter to execute the command.
That’s all there is to it. You can now view the contents of the URL you sent the request to.
JSON is a very compact format. Instead of having to create multiple lines of code to define each object, the syntax makes it possible to simply define the structure of an object and then assign values to those properties. That means that JSON is incredibly easy to read and write.
There are a few different ways to work with JSON. The first and most common approach is to use the built-in json module. Because the data is stored as a string, it doesn’t have to be parsed into memory. You can simply pass the string directly to the module. Once you do that, you can use the methods defined within the module to manipulate the data.
If you were to open up the json module documentation, you would see a list of functions that allow you to perform basic operations like reading and writing data. What you won’t see however is any information about how to actually parse and load data. That’s parsing JSON data.
The json module allows you to access the data inside of the JSON file. It’s important to note that this is only done during the parsing phase. After the data is loaded, it becomes immutable. There’s no way to modify that data after it’s been loadesimple program that loads a JSON file and prints out the contents.
Now let’s change the program slightly by adding some new data to the file.
Here we changed the mode of the file to write. Now when we rerun the program, we get a completely different result.
This is because once the data is loaded, it cannot be modified. This is also true for the jsonlite package.
At this point, you should understand how the json.load function works. For our next step, we’ll show you how to load JSON data into the standard library. This is the same technique that you’ll likely see if you’re building a web application. When someone sends you a request, they typically send you JSON data. The server then parses the data and passes it along to your application.
Let’s say that you have a list of names that you want to display. Here’s a small snippet of code that illustrates how you might go about doing that.
As you can see, you can loop over the items in the list and print them out individually. But what happens if you have a lot more data than we did here? How would you handle thousands of records?
Let’s say that you wanted to build an app that displays a list of all of the employees in a company. For this example, let’s assume that you have access to the employee database. If that’s the case, then you could easily construct a query that returns all of the employees.
To convert this to JSON, you could simply call json.dumps on the result set.
Then you can simply add each employee to the list.
After running this, you should end up with a list containing all of the employee IDs.
Most websites use HTML markup language to display information on their pages. The majority of these websites follow a standard when it comes to displaying text which makes them easy to parse and understand. To get the text from the page, we’ll first need to find out what kind of website we’re dealing with.
In this example, the website uses the tag to show us the title of the site. By checking the URL, we know that this is a static website that doesn’t change often.
If the website changes frequently or uses non-standard markup language, then parsing the HTML code won’t work too well because the website could change its appearance without changing the code itself.
Luckily, most modern websites use a programming language called “HTML5”, which means that it’s easier to extract information by using Python and Beautiful Soup. We’ll start off with a simple program that extracts the title from a webpage.
“BeautifulSoup” is a library for making sense out of messy HTML codthat allows users to read and write HTML files in a way that makes sense.
Once the package is installed, let’s start writing our program.
This script prints out the title of the website.
To make the program more effective, let’s add a few lines to make sure we only grab the title and not the rest of the website’s content.
A lot of JSON files come with two basic types of keys: a string key that represents the name of a property, and a number type that represents the value of that property. In order to use those properties as variables, we’ll need to use either dictionaries or lists. Lists tend to be easier to read and understand for beginners. Lists also make it easier to manipulate those values later if you want to do something like print them out.
Tload the contents of a JSON file into a list called my_list. So, let’s take examine what happens when we run this code.
In this example, the json.loads() function is used to parse the information found inside of the file “data_file.json” and then store it inside of the variable my_list. Once the file has been loaded, all of the lines of information stored in the file are converted from strings to integers by calling the int() function. These are then converted into lists, which are then printed out in the terminal window.
This isn’t the only way to read JSON data in Python, but it’s one of the most common ways to do so. Another way would be to use a library that helps parse JSON data, such as the excellent requests library. However, since we’re just getting started, let’s stick with the simpler method of doing it manually.
Web scraping is a very useful skill. The growing number of dynamic websites makes ithigh amounts of data. Whether you want to transfer information securely between your business partners or relaunch a website that badly needs an upgrade, web scraping can help you achieve success.
You may be tempted to pour heaps of money and resources into overhauling your entire company or hiring new, expensive specialists to build an effective web scraping team. This is feasible for large corporations to do, but noa low risk tolerance.
Luckily, a total system overhaul isn’t necessary. You shouldn’t try to learn how to do everything at once. By learning one small thing at a You’re also more likely to actually complete your projects instead of getting bogged down in frustration.
For example, if you want to start incorporating parsing data with JSON in Python into your business functions but have never used JSON before, you should tackle the building blocks of JSON web scraping one at a time. Learn about how Python 3 compares to other versions of Python, learn about parsing HTML, and pick a proxy that works well with your business’s objectives.
If you can’t decide between data center and residential proxies, ISP proxies — notably those offered by Rayobyte — are an excellent compromise. ISP proxies are hosted in data center servers, but their IP addresses don’t belong to the data centers. Instead, they use IP addresses associated with an ISP. This gives them the speed of data center proxies as well as the security of residential proxies.
If you want to see more helpful explanations of what’s happening on the cutting edge of the tech industry, we also cover topics like automatic data collection, Python web scraping, and more on the Rayobyte blog.

en | N/A | N/A | MY IMPRESSIONS OF CUDDY'Z SPORTS BAR- ummm more work needed!
On reaching the place I realized that i had actually passed the place several times but had no inclination to venture in as you could not tell it was a sports bar. Of course the nice glass decal was eye catching, an oversized pic of a football stadium but it could have been an artistic glass cover for a renovation of sorts. Tonight I looked up and saw the word ..in small font..cuddyz!
We opened the door and and then closed it behind us. Maybe my expectations were too high but I would have preferred a smiling beautiful VERY ATTRACTIVE young lady as opposed to daddy!
Now there are some things that you must find in a sports bar. They are like the Holy Grail of the sports bar business. One of the most important prop in a sports bar is the "man toy" you offer for the sports junkies that come to the bar. What are these man toys?LARGE and I mean LARGE screen TV all around the room offering different games so a guy can revel in the bar like a kid in a candy shop. TVs were present, some with bad reception and a projector that should have been off as the projection was so poor you wondered why did they take it from Noah's arc?
Another necessity is GOOD SOUND- we saw some ugly boxes in the roof somewhere but they were off!no vibes, no energy, nothing to make your blood pump and this is a sports bar!You don't want to walk into a sports bar and the noise you hear is the tinker and clatter of plates of other patrons eating the food. We have enough of those types. You want to hear good noise. noise from the TV channels and from the crowd that is gathered. And as for music….well let's just say it was like it seemed like they did not want to wake the baby!
My first time to Cuddyz but hopefully not my last. Maybe it was a bad night – a Monday night what can you expect?
Only the US can create such melodrama. Not even 24 hours since the verdict and the postmortems, the book deals , the movie deals are flying off the pages!It is scenes like this that puts Capitalism at its worstt….in the face of a death of a youngsters' life all you here is …KA CHING! |
en | N/A | N/A | At Hasura’s Enterprise GraphQL Conf on October 22, we presented Viaduct, what we’re calling a data-oriented service mesh that we believe will bring a step function improvement in the modularity of our microservices-based Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). In this blog post, we describe the philosophy behind Viaduct and provide a rough sketch of how it works. Please watch the presentation for a more detailed look.
Massive SOA Dependency Graphs
For a while, Service-Oriented Architectures have been moving towards ever larger numbers of small microservices. Modern applications can consist of thousands to tens of thousands of microservices connected in unconstrained ways. As a result, it’s not uncommon to see dependency graphs like the following:
This particular dependency graph happens to be from Airbnb, but it’s not uncommon. Amazon, Netflix, and Uber are examples of those that shared similarly tangled dependency graphs.
These dependency graphs are reminiscent of spaghetti code, just at the microservices level. Similar to how spaghetti code becomes harder and harder to modify over time, so does spaghetti SOA. To help manage the larger number of services inherent in a microservices-based architecture, we need organizing principles as well as technical measures to implement those principles. At Airbnb, we undertook an effort to find such principles and measures. Our investigations led us to the concept of a data-oriented service mesh, which we believe brings a new level of modularity to SOA.
Procedure- vs Data-Oriented Design
Organizing large programs into modular units is not a new problem in software engineering. Up until the 1970s, the main paradigm of software organization focused on grouping code into procedures and procedures into modules. In this approach, modules publish a public API to be used by code outside of the module; behind this public API, modules hide their internal, helper procedures and other implementation details. Languages such as Pascal and C are based on this paradigm.
Starting in the ’80s, the paradigm shifted to organizing software primarily around data, not procedures. In this approach, modules define classes of objects that encapsulate an internal representation of an object accessed via a public API of methods on the object. Languages such as Simula and Clu pioneered this form of organization.
SOA is a step back to more procedure-oriented designs. Today’s microservice is a collection of procedural endpoints — a classic, 1970s-style module. We believe that SOA needs to evolve to support data-oriented design, and that this evolution can be enabled by transitioning our service mesh from a procedural orientation to a data orientation.
Viaduct: A Data-Oriented Service Mesh
Central to modern, scalable SOA applications is a service mesh (e.g., Istio, Linkerd), which routes service invocations to instances of microservices that can handle them. The current industry standard for service meshes is to organize exclusively around remote procedure invocations without knowing anything about the data that makes up the application architecture. Our vision is to replace these procedure-oriented service meshes with service meshes organized around data.
At Airbnb, we are using GraphQL™️ to build a data-oriented service mesh called Viaduct. A Viaduct service mesh is defined in terms of a GraphQL schema consisting of:
Types (and interfaces) describing data managed within your service mesh
Queries (and subscriptions) providing means to access that data, which is abstracted from the service entry points that provide the data
Mutations providing ways to update data, again abstracted from service entry points
The types (and interfaces) in the schema define a single graph across all of the data managed within the service mesh. For example, at an eCommerce company, a service mesh’s schema may define a field productById(id: ID) that returns results of type Product. From this starting point, a single query allows a data consumer to navigate to information about the product’s manufacturer, e.g., productById { manufacturer }; reviews of the product, e.g. productById { reviews }; and even the authors of those reviews, e.g., productById { reviews { author } }.
The data elements requested by such a query may come from many different microservices. In a procedure-oriented service mesh, the data consumer would need to take these services as explicit dependencies. In our data-oriented service mesh, it is the service mesh, i.e., Viaduct, not the data consumer, that knows which services provide which data element. Viaduct abstracts away the service dependencies from any single consumer.
Putting Schema at the Center
In our talk we discuss how, unlike other distributed GraphQL systems like GraphQL Modules or Apollo Federation, Viaduct deals with the schema as a single artifact and has implemented several primitives that allow us to keep a unified schema while still allowing for many teams to collaborate on that schema productively. As Viaduct replaces more and more of our underlying procedure-oriented service mesh, its schema captures the data managed by our application more and more completely. We have taken advantage of this “central schema,” as we call it, as a place to define the APIs of some of our microservices. In particular, we have started using GraphQL for the API of some microservices. For these microservices, their GraphQL schemas are defined as a subset of the central schema. In the future, we want to take this idea further, using the central schema to define the schema of data stored in our database.
Among other things, using the central schema to define our APIs and database schemas will solve one of the bigger challenges of large-scale SOA applications: data agility. In today’s SOA applications, a change to a database schema often needs to be manually reflected in the APIs of two, three, and sometimes even more layers of microservices before it can be exposed to client code. Such changes can require weeks of coordinating among multiple teams. By deriving service APIs and database schemas from a single, central schema, a database schema change like this can be propagated to client code with a single update.
Often in large SOA applications, there are many stateless “derived-data” services and “backend-for-frontend” services that take raw data from lower-level services and transform it into data that’s more appropriate for presentation in clients. Stateless logic like this is a good fit for the serverless computing model, which eliminates the operational overhead of microservices altogether and instead hosts logic in a “cloud functions” fabric.
Viaduct has a mechanism for computing what we call “derived fields” using serverless cloud functions that operate on top of the graph without knowledge of the underlying services. These functions allow us to move transformational logic out of the service mesh and into stateless containers, keeping our graph clean and reducing the number and complexity of services we need.
Viaduct is built on graphql-java and supports fine-grained field selection via GraphQL selection sets. It uses modern data-loading techniques, employs reliability techniques such as short-circuiting and soft dependencies, and implements an intra-request cache. Viaduct provides data observability, allowing us to understand, down to the field level, what services consume what data. As a GraphQL interface, Viaduct allows us to take advantage of a large ecosystem of open source tooling, including live IDEs, mock servers, and schema visualizers.
Viaduct started powering production workflows at Airbnb over a year ago. We started from scratch with a clean schema consisting of a handful of entities and have grown it to include 80 core entities that are able to power 75% of our modern API traffic.
As mentioned in the introduction, more details on the motivation and technology behind Viaduct can be found in our presentation. |

en | N/A | N/A | An extremely sick and distressed 92-year-old was left for 25 hours on a hospital chair waiting to be seen by a doctor, HER FAMILY CLAIM.
Gladys Cummins was taken to the A&E at Dublin’s Mater hospital last Monday afternoon, September 3, and had already started suffering from psychosis caused by a bad kidney infection.
Her nursing home had recommended she be admitted and her family were called to stay with her to deal with reoccurring manic episodes, reported the Irish mirror.
Her daughter Dee who watched helplessly as her mother’s health decline at the hospital, said after the incident, “Ifeared the grandmother’s infection had turned to sepsis but help did not come quickly.
Dee told RTE’sMy n.
“She was actually in the A&E Department for over 24 hours, probably about 25.
“Gladys had been positioned in a corner of a ward nearby automatic doors which would open every time paramedics arrived at the hospital, according to her daughter.
Her family had to wrap her up in blankets just to keep her warm during the over day-long wait.

The song’s title refers to people who move in fashionable and glamorous circles. According to Song Facts, the term, “beautiful people” was first used in the 1960s to mock the rich and powerful. The two artists play the role of characters who struggle to fit in with beautiful people. This song does a great job of conveying the message of the importance of being true to yourself, while still remaining catchy.
This song features elements from arena rock. Since arena rock is primarily performed to excite audiences in an arena, it explains why you occasionally hear some “hey” chants in the background. Katy manages to portray her journey from a helpless woman to a strong woman in the song without it sounding like a clichéd female anthem song.

{\it In fine}, the investigation, in the main text, aims to provide
some newness, through some recent data; even leading to a better
description of a rank-size rule than the Pareto-Zipf's law. Beside,
to our knowledge, no statistical evidence of Zipf's law studies has
been reported for the economic variables characterizing Italian
cities and regions, in the period 2007-2011.
Along such lines of thought and within our statistical physics framework, the paper deals with the rank-size rule for the entire set of
municipalities in Italy (IT, hereafter). This country, Italy, is expected, according to its fame, to provide what a physicist looks for, i.e. some universality features but also some non universal ones. Therefore, in an aim toward understanding nature and progressing toward reconciling so called hard and soft science, reliable data is investigated
looking for "universality" and "deviations". The IT data are both
official, and are given by aggregated income tax (ATI) and number of
inhabitants : the former has been provided directly from the
Research Cent
(MEF), and cover the quinquennium 2007-2011; the latter comes from
the Census 2011, which has been performed by the Italian Institute
of Statistics (ISTAT).
Therefore, the \textit{size} to be examined is here defined through
two criteria: (i) by the ATI \textit{contribution} that each city
has given to the Italian GDP and (ii) by the \textit{population} of
each city. First, the 8092 Italian cities are yearly ranked
according to such variables. Their related classifications are then
compared: (i) at the national level, but also (ii) at the
regional level. There are 20 regions in IT with a varied number of
Each specific year of the quinquennium has been examined. However,
special attention has been paid to 2011, in order to be somewhat
consistent with the year concerned by the Italian census report on
population. The census took several years in fact. Therefore, only
the ATI averaged over the 5 years interval for each municipality is
reported in the main text and discussed through the mean value
over 5 years of the yearly ATI data. The conclusions are
unaffected, as discussed in an Appendix, except for some mild
change in error bars on the numerical parameters, when specific
years are selected for examination.
Within the statistical physics approach interested in correlation
functions, the paper also aims at observing whether there is or not
some correlation between ATI and population rankings. For this
aim, the Kendall $\tau$ and the Spearman $\rho$ rank correlation
measures have been computed
\cite{kendall,Abdi,Spearman,BolboacaaJantschi}. The Kendall $\tau$
measure compares the number of concordant and non-concordant pairs,
to detect the presence of singularities in a possible relationship
(here between economy and demography). The Spearman $\rho$ rank
correlation is also computed, to provide a more satisfactory
interpretation of the relationship between economy and demography in
terms of rank \cite{Bland}.
A rank scatter plot of the number of inhabitants in each 8092 city
versus the corresponding ATI reveals two regimes. Moreover, two
regimes are also observed for the value themselves, distinguishing
different "phase states", pointing to regional specificities. It
can be stressed \cite{Abdi} that such a rank-rank analysis,
implying pair correlations, is the analog of a correlation function,
sometimes called susceptibility, in the linear response theory of
statistical mechanics. It will be indicated that a "rank" is like a
"temperature". A useful methodological paper to read on the
rank-rank correlation is by Melucci \cite{melucci}. It contains
also a bibliographic review on previous researches on this theme, up
In order to obtain analytical expressions simulating the data,
whence suggesting a model susceptible of general applications,
various simple fits have been attempted. The most classical one, for
universality purpose, is the straight line fit on a log-log plot.
However, both for the population size and the ATI data, it turns out
that, in each region, the main city is an outlier\footnote{This was
observed already by Jefferson \cite{jefferson}.}: more precisely
25 cities for the whole country, i.e. about 1 per region. These
lowest rank cities are markedly found to occur much above the usual
expecting straight line data fit on a log-log plot (the 20
"regional" plots are not shown for saving space). Moreover, the fit
visual appearances are not exciting, because our eyes receive the
same effects from the low and high rank ranges. Practically, it
has been found that the regression coefficient $R^2$ improves if
one removes these outliers. Moreover, the fits visually improve in
the asymptotic regimes, - which are very narrow regions, in
particular in the high rank range. Therefore, for shortening the
paper, the parameters of the fits reported here below only concern
fits with a 3-parameter function, discussed below.
To get some perspective, notice that several contributions in the
literature propose rank-rank analysis types within different
contexts, - all comparing two different rank rules. In a series of
papers \cite{ausloos2014b,ausloosetal,ausloosetal2014b},
country ranking due to soccer team ranking (and performance) in
UEFA competitions is presented and contrasted with FIFA ranking. In
particular, in dealing with the rank-rank correlation
\cite{ausloosetal}, the Kendall $\tau$ is employed. Interesting is
also the application in the context of archeology, with a specific
focus on the Aztec settlement distributions, presented in Hare
\cite{hare}. In \cite{njp}, Zhou et al. focus on the rank-rank
correlation for scientists and scientific journal, in line with the
scientometrics literature. In this respect, see also
\cite{ausloos2013},
- on the relationship between authors and coauthors,
and Stallings et al. \cite{pnas}, - comparing researchers and
universities according to different criteria, whence providing also
an axiomatization of the rank and rank correlation problems.
For what concerns the Spearman $\rho$ coefficient, it measures
correlations in the rank deviation from their mean of the
measurements. As already said above, for completeness, $\rho$ will
be calculated, even if Kendall $\tau$ is usually acknowledged to
have better statistical properties than Spearman's $\rho$
\cite{Bland,Hsieh2010,Yangetal2010,Schmitzetal2013,Rezapour2013}.
The interpretation of Kendall $\tau$ also seems to be easier and
more intuitive than that of the Spearman $\rho$. In this respect, it
is important to point out that the average of the ranks is equal to
$N/2$, thus representing a measure of the sample size $N$.
It is of common knowledge that the Pearson $\Pi$ correlation
coefficient is the most
frequently used measure when data is supposed to be (or is) normally
distributed. On the other hand, nonparametric methods such as
Spearman's rank-order and Kendall's correlation coefficients are
usually suggested to be better for non-normal data analysis. In
fact, all three correlation coefficients are proportional to
differently weighted averages of the concordance indicators. The
normality constraint is briefly examined in an Appendix, together
with a discussion of the Pearson coefficient interest in the
present context. It is briefly argued that the Kendall $\tau$
brings some information of interest. We consider that this is
particularly so, when values are of different natures and are
measured with a quite often unknown error bar.
In the field of Economic Geography, the rank-rank analysis is quite neglected. A not |

en | N/A | N/A | Slow Digestion and bowel movements.
Before I got sick, I had very regular, very smooth bowel movements. Although my bowel function has come back, and its relatively normal, there are differences - and I don't know whether they will return back to normal - as much as I hope they will.
The following may be uncomfortable (disgusting) to read, but, it is a topic I had lots of trouble trying to find out about when it wasn't working. The subject matter is one that causes sufferers from speaking out, but trying to figure out when bowel functions might come back, or if they will come back.
Here goes: If the topic makes you squemish, then stop reading.
I am lucky in this area. My bowel movements have returned alomost to a point of normalcy for me, but I believe it would be considered normal for others.
In the beginning, someone else had to digitally stimulate me because I couldn't reach down and do it myself. This went on for about 5 months after the spinal cord injury. A theripist said I will get to the point where I can digitally stim myself, but I didn't have to reach that point. By the time my abdomen got flexible enough so I could reach down, my bowel movements came naturally.
However, the timing and "holding" it in became a problem. I would not evacuate every day, and when I did, it would be a rush, and the stools were elephant sized. I suppose I could have taken laxatives and suppositories, but I wanted for my body to evacaute without any aids, except for fiber. During this recovery process, I have taken in more fiber in the forms of oatmeal and beans. My fruit and vegetable consumption has also increased.
This went on for about 10 months, and now I evacuate about 5 - 6 days out of the week, and usually in the morning, like before I got sick. The difference now is that many times I do strain (more than I should), but I am careful not to strain too much, and will give up and go at a later time. I can hold it in better than before, but sometimes I do feel like the stool will come out on its own when I am not ready for it to. It's as if my muscles still haven't the strength to push out the stool efficiently. The size and of the stool has become rabbit-pellet like, and instead of one or two large pieces, about a dozen of these pellet sized stool comes out. And this is with the contiuation of my increased diet take.
I hope this function will return to my regular habit before I got sick, but in the meantime, I am at a point where I can live with this function as it works right now.
I feel I am lucky because my bowel movements are natural, and now that a year has passed, regularity seems to be coming back very slowly, but surely. |

General manager of transportation Mac Logan updates the status of the Green Line project earlier this year. Photo by Gavin Young /Postmedia
Calgary's city manager confirmed Monday transportation boss Mac Logan has resigned, though city staff and municipal politicians remain .
"Mr. Logan and I reached a mutual decision that he resign," city manager Jeff Fielding told council Monday morning.
"Beyond that, I can't comment. It's a personnel matter," Fielding added.
Logan began working with the city in 1995 and was named the city's general manager of transportation in March 2010.
In the weeks before his resignation, Logan was on leave from his job as transportation boss, where he oversaw projects including the multi-billion-dollar Green Line LRT.
Mayor Naheed Nenshi told reporters there was little he could say about Logan's sudden exit.
"As you know, I cannot discuss human resources issues," Nenshi said.
City spokeswoman Vickie Megrath said the decision for Logan to resign was reached on Dec. 8.
Megrath said she didn't know how long Logan was on leave before he quit, and she couldn't reveal any details surrounding if the leave was paid, or what compensation, if any, came with Logan's departure.
"The only thing I can say is the resignation did include confidentiality discussions, so we're not at liberty to discuss the details," Megrath said.
Fielding's brief statement about Logan came following a query in question period from Ward 11 Coun. Jeromy Farkas during Monday's council meeting.
"I have fielded a lot of questions from constituents regarding the absence of Mac Logan," Farkas said.
"I was wondering if you could speak to the circumstances, the costs if any, as well as how important files like the Green Line will be handled in that transition?" he asked.
Fielding did not detail the circumstances surrounding Logan's departure or speak about the costs.

"I trust he'll do a more-than-adequate job," Fielding said.
During a break in Monday's meeting, Farkas said he posed the question because of the scope of the Green Line project and concerns he's hearing from residents in the wake of Logan's departure.
"This is the biggest project that we're going to be undertaking in Calgary, maybe Alberta's history," Farkas said.
"A lot of people want to make sure that this, as well as other issues like the Southwest BRT are being handled. That's why I inquired about where those projects are at."
Following Fielding's brief statement, Mayor Naheed Nenshi presented two awards to city staff — onehonour of the Step Forward Pedestrian Strategy, and a second a ' street lab party' held last summer on 20th Avenue.
Ward 13 Coun. Diane Colley-Urquhart said Logan played a major role in the "extraordinary awards."
"His leadership, and his team building, and his vision for this city has directly resulted in the city of Calgary receiving these awards," she said at Monday's meeting.
Nenshi told reporters Logan spearheaded "a lot of very big transportation projects in the city, but not just transportation projects — city building projects," during his time with the City of Calgary. |

en | N/A | N/A | If you haven’t heard the news, David and I recently purchased a San Diego Bridal Boutique. The White Flower Bridal Boutique, established in 2009, has become our new home away from home. In fact, it’s only a 15 minute walk from where our condo is.
Currently, The White Flower offers gowns from Hayley Paige, Martina Liana, Kelly Faetanini, Ti Adora, and more are coming soon! I am very excited to expand our designers and move into a high end market for San Diego brides. Being able to work with designers directly feels like a dream come true for me. Next October, I will attend New York Bridal Fashion Week, which has been on my bucket list for years. Now I have a great reason to be there!
Thank you to those of you who have sent us kind messages showing your support. David and I greatly appreciate the community here in the San Diego wedding industry. We look forward to seeing your brides in our boutique!
The Future of My Photography
Many have asked me if I will continue photographing weddings. The answer is YES! That said, I am only accepting 10 weddings a year for the foreseeable future. In order to give enough attention and service to my brides and properly run the boutique, that is a firm cap. I am prioritizing al fresco weddings with fun color palettes that have a partial or full service planner! |

en | N/A | N/A | Growing Crops: Blackberries
Trailing varieties: Boysen, Loan, Lucretia, Thornless Boysen, and Young.
Upright varieties: Comanche, Darrow, Ebony King, Ranger, and Thorn-free.
Soil Requirements: Blackberries grow well in soil that has a pH level on the acidic side – from 4.5 to 6.5. Deep-till and amend your soil to ensure proper pH and so it is moist but drains well.
When to Plant: Starting in USDA Hardiness Zone 5 and moving north, plant your canes as soon as you can work the soil during early Spring. Starting in USDA Hardiness Zone 6 and moving south, plant your canes either in the Spring, Fall, or Winter.
Pruning: The first year will be spent training your canes along wires or a trellis. They will not fruit. Prune for shape. During the second year, the first-year canes should fruit while new growth canes should be pinched off at approximately 3½ feet. This will encourage side branching and thus a larger harvest from these new canes during the third year. Once the second year canes have finished producing berries, remove them. Train the second-year new growth canes as you did the first-year canes, pruning for shape and not allowing them to fruit until the third year.
Pests to Monitor: Birds, Cane Borers, Cutworms, Earwigs, Grasshoppers, and Nematode. |

en | N/A | N/A | g, I enjoy all of your columns and this was no exception, your walking Redwood City is probably my absolute favorite read and I look forward to it every week. We’re new to Redwood City and only moved here in 1997 but we’re enamored of the location (especially the part that says “Weather best by government test” as we came here from Minnesota which states, Weather worst by popular acclaim. Thanks for the blog and please keep it up!
I totally enjoyed reading this. I lover history, and even more so when it’s about where I live.
Wow! That is a GREAT video! Thanks very much for sharing.
There was a Baker’s Union bldg in Redwood City down further on Jefferson, I believe!
I love seeing this history. I moved here in 1951 and remember the bakeries. Sequoia HS class of ’66, always got birthday cakes from all of them.
I’m jealous. They were all gone by the time my wife and I moved here. Oh, for a bakery that makes fresh bread…
Ah, that is what it was! Thanks for letting us know. I guess I could have gone back to the library and looked it up, but I was so focused on Safeway stores that I neglected to check who was at that address after Safeway moved out. Thanks!
Number 3 on Main near Maple is a fine example of a classic auto showroom. Have to go to San Francisco’s Van Ness Avenue auto row to best it. Certainly worth preserving.
The Redwood Pastry had delicious treats. My 50th Birthday cake came from there. The Donut King in Jefferson Plaza near Alameda is about as close as one can get to its standards today.
Indeed that old auto showroom building is a beautiful one; I’m very glad that it has been preserved. I do wish some of the bakeries had survived longer; none of them were around by the time my wife and I moved to Redwood City, unfortunately. 🙂 </s> >>

Symphony of Northwest Arkansas (SoNA) </s> “Take to the Streets”: Turkey’s Failed Coup, One Year Later
The movement of Turkish military units from their bases to locations in Istanbul province, beginning at 9:15 pm, is available for researchers thanks to the discovery of a telephone on which one of the putschists was coordinating his movements via WhatsApp. The same is true of Air Force’s flight operations, which researchers were able to track with open source tools. However, the events that led up to the coup, including the actions of senior officials, are not nearly as clear. The coup attempt was, without question, real. The putschists were ruthless and showed little remorse about killing innocent people. They used lethal force to attack Turkish government buildings. It’s alsowas spooked that night, as we saw in his FaceTime interview with journalist Hande Firat that took place as the plot unfolded. The normally confident Erdogan was obviously frightened as he addressed his supporters from an aide’s iPhone.
Despite countless hours of media coverage in Turkey, there is no tick-tock of that night’s event that can stand up to analytical rigor. Similarly, there is no coherent understanding of what the putschists intended to do had they seized power. Senior Turkish officials are reticent to share details about that night. And, when they do, they often contradict previous statements.
The Gulenist Explanation
To mark the first anniversary of the failed coup, the Turkish government has planned a series of commemorative events, emulating the so-called “democracy watches” that took place |
en | N/A | N/A | This pub is probably my favourite in Kent. The beers are varied and well kept, the food very good value and it has a great atmosphere. I'm by no means a regular but always get a warm welcome when I drop by. One of its best features is the variety of entertainment and activities which are offered. This is a real pub at the heart of its community. If I lived nearer I would spend every evening at the bar.
Originally The Prince of Orange, the pub dates from around 1690 and was first licensed in 1740. As Alex says below, it was renamed The King of Prussia in 1758 and again to its current name when War broke out in 1914. The business itself moved between Nos 1 and 6 Prospect row, and for a number of years it was unlicensed - an illegal drinking den which later became legit. It is usually referred to locally as the KGV and is a GBG regular. The current landlord is John, an ale enthusiast who organises regular beer-based outings and regales anyone who will listen with tales from his past, which is just as colourful as the pub's. In addition to John there is a lovely barmaid who provides an aesthetic contrast. Four ales on this time - I had a pint each of Wells's, John Bull and Adnams Southwold, all in first class condition. An essential part of a Gillingham or Chatham crawl.
The King George V is a thin pub that is divided into three areas with seating at the front entrance and at the rear whilst the bar area is located in the centre. I counted four hand pumps and these were drawing Buzzard Dark Ale, Incubus, Hewish Mild and Adnams during my recent midweek lunchtime visit. Food is served and the £8.50 12” pizza is heavily advertised. There are some food deals as the aforementioned pizza is available for £5 between 15:00 and 17:00 Monday to Saturday and during the lunch period food and a pint is available for £5, but the food wasn’t listed. There is a plasma screen that was airing Heart FM and I didn’t spot any advertisements for Sky Sports. Live music is advertised for every month, but I didn’t take down any other details. There is a yard out the back that houses some covered seating. I found the service in here to be very friendly and the Buzzard was a decent pint. I’d have no problem returning.

en | N/A | N/A | Passive products do nothing to preferentially allocate money to firms running their business sustainably. Mr. Fink refers to clients in the Nordics, Netherlands and France as having sustainability as a requirement. Savvy investors who have such requirements will soon look closely and inquire why their money is invested equally in companies that are sustainability stars and those that just about meet minimum criteria. Clients expect the investment industry to support and drive change in the economy. This is why we need a much more thoughtful approach.
