annual' rate. For junior players who may play, say, one of the football codes in winter and cricket in summer, it would be important to note that a rate was a 'seasonal' incidence rate (not including injuries from the other sport) rather than an 'annual' incidence rate (which would include injuries sustained while playing other sports).
 2. For a tournament that lasted for, say, 2 months, injury rates could theoretically be multiplied by six to give an 'annual' injury incidence based on the hypothetical situation of a similar tournament being indefinitely played six times per year. However, in reporting tournament injury incidence (eg, for a World Cup, or in a domestic T20 competition), it may be preferable to use match injury incidence rates rather than annual incidence rates.
Definition of cohorts
The cohort to be followed for a given team should be referred to as the 'squad'. A match-day team generally consists of 11 players (11 active players and the 12th man), whereas a squad for a team contains a varied number of players. The squad to be followed can consist of any number of players, which should be recorded for all times of surveillance (ie, for the entire year if annual surveillance is being undertaken).
A squad should be chosen at the start of the surveillance period, determined in advance. Therefore, injury rates will consider those players who become injured as well as those who avoid injury, and it is possible that a squad will contain injured players at the start of the surveillance period. A squad might consist of a team's designated list of contracted or registered players, or a group of players selected for a particular tournament. However, players may need to be added if they are chosen to play for the team from outside the initial squad. Similarly, players who are de-registered, or are dropped from a contracted professional or international squad, should be removed.
The definition of a squad member for a team may be varied, but an example is as follows:
 1. Any player under contract to the team in question (or a 'registered' player at amateur level).
 2. Any other player who plays in the team first XI (not including 12th man or a fielding substitute) or tours overseas with the team, from the time of his/her first game (or the first tour match) until the end of the cricket year or season (when a new round of contracts is awarded).
For tournament injury surveillance, if the cohort is determined to be the selected squad for the tournament, it should be noted that there would be a strong bias towards injured players not being selected (although occasionally they are, in the hope that they may become fit early on during the tournament). Injury prevalence for tournaments with cohorts chosen in this fashion are likely to be lower than injury prevalence for contracted players on an annual basis, as the tournament cohort is biased against players suffering from pre-existing injuries (who make up a high proportion of the injured cohort when considering injury prevalence).
For additional information pertaining to injury surveillance systems, refer to online supplementary appendix II.
This consensus statement has evolved from the original recommendations of 2005. The evolution of this consensus statement is from being prescriptive ('all studies should use the following methods') to descriptive ('all studies should conduct the most complete injury surveillance possible and clearly describe the methodology'), emulating statements such as PRISMA24 and STROBE.25
A greater motivation for an updated consensus statement is to lead to consistency within the sport of cricket as well as between sports, using definitions that may be compared to those used in other sports. There has also been a greater appreciation that it is impossible and unwise to try to formulate a fixed set of definitions to suit all types of studies within a single sport. Given the concession that definitions will therefore need to vary, the focus of this consensus statement has moved to clarity in choosing and reporting methods used.
The difficulty in providing a single injury definition that will suit all purposes with respect to a sport or injury surveillance system within a sport has been discussed.12,13 To illustrate this argument in a cricket context, consider how shoulder injuries might best be defined in the following circumstances:
 1. To determine whether certain countries/teams or years had higher rates of shoulder injuries than others, a 'time-loss' injury definition may be preferable, as it is the most easily captured, objective and reliable indicator of a significant injury;
 2. To determine shoulder injury rates during a cricket tournament, a 'medical presentation' injury definition may be preferable, as all teams will have medical and/or physiotherapy staff who could hopefully keep consistent data over a limited time period during a tournament;
 3. To determine shoulder injury rates in amateur cricketers, a 'player-report' definition based on physical symptoms may be preferable, as amateurs may or may not have presented to any medical staff with their symptoms but should be able to recall symptoms that have occurred within a reasonable time period, for example, the past year;
 4. To study the development of pathology in the shoulder and its relationship to symptom development in cricketers, a study using an 'abnormal imaging' injury definition, based on ultrasound scan or MRI findings performed on cricketers without shoulder symptoms, could be employed.
Although time-loss definitions are preferable to medical attention injuries in many circumstances, there is one emerging injury category of importance where a medical attention definition is preferable: concussion and head impact injuries. Given the long-term concerns relating to concussion, it is recommended that injury surveillance systems keep a record of all head/neck/helmet impacts irrespective of whether or not they meet the threshold for a concussion diagnosis. That is, any impact to the head or neck region which would prompt the medical staff to ask the player whether they had suffered any symptoms (ie, generate medical attention based on the observed event rather than any symptoms), even if the player claims to have not suffered any injury or symptoms.
Injuries per number of player hours is, in theory, most accurate, but its relevance has been lessened by the rise of T20 cricket.4 A day in which a T20 game is scheduled generating the same number of injuries as a day in which a 50-over match is scheduled would appear to have an injury incidence that was 2.5 times higher, because there were fewer overs bowled. Therefore, a unit of injuries (numerator) over player days (denominator, considering 11 players in action per day) could be used, which is simpler and more representative of actual risk (in a given time period).4 This is analogous to comparing injury rates of various Track athletic events in a per event rate (100 m=one event; Marathon=one event) rather than a rate per hour of competition participation, which would make sprint events appear to be far riskier than distance events.
There are other circumstances specific to cricket where standard definitions are problematic. Within the realm of T20 cricket, some countries have moved to a 'franchise' model of T20 teams which are contractually and operationally distinct from the traditional domestic teams, whereas other countries still combine contracts to play T20 and longer forms of cricket for a single team. It would be inappropriate to state that T20 team cohorts should be either distinct from or combined with longer form surveillance cohorts, as the situation in different countries should lead to a different approach.
A somewhat unique cricket problem when assessing availability to play is the requirement of all players to be able to bat, but only some players need to bowl. The player who is fit to bat but not fit to bowl may be available for selection if their batting ability warrants, but not if selection would rely on also being fit to bowl. For some players who are 'part-time' bowlers but are unfit to bowl, it can be difficult and somewhat subjective to determine if they are missing a game whether this is truly due to injury or selector preference. This is particularly the case where a player continues to play as a batsman only and remains unfit to bowl. A guideline from these definitions is that this would equate to being unavailable through injury for a 'regular bowler', but we concede that these determinations may need to be made on a case-by-case basis. The difficulty is increased if a player is available to bowl but with workload limits recommended by medical staff that effectively result in non-selection in the longer forms of the game.
This complexity of role in cricket has led to our recommendation that injury surveillance systems avoid 'training time-loss' definitions, as many players regularly train in partial fashion. This would render the concept of a 'missed training session' to be too difficult to determine on too many occasions. For a 'general time-loss' injury, we have opted to recommend a daily binary status of 'considered fit to play a cricket match/not fit to play a cricket match' with the role and type of match necessarily being player-specific (ie, what type of match and in what role would a player be expected to be next fit for?).
In conclusion, these new consensus definitions are presented to offer greater flexibility to researchers at choosing methods which suit their study type and encouraging greater rigour in reporting to allow comparison between studies within cricket, and between sports.

Visage Project for Physiognomy Data
About the Visage Project: Visage is a project to collect and
organize information about relatively permanent facial features. It
includes methods for storing, retrieving, and inspecting the data.
This information is collected from the writings of many authors and
scholars and is stored in a relational database. These sources
indicate connections between facial features and the person's inner or
hidden characteristics, such as personality or character, and even
more unlikely connections, such as to the person's destiny.
Physiognomy is a term that refers to the appearance of the face and
how it is interpreted. Visage is a database schema for representing
physiognomy and the interpretation of physiognomic signs.
A simple demonstration application shows
some of the ideas behind the Visage project. The demonstration finds
information about the meanings of facial features you select to
describe a face. This application retrieves information from the
database relevant to your description of physiognomy, including an estimation of the
accuracy of the sources of this information. You can decide for
yourself whether the meanings ascribed to the facial features make
sense or not.
You may find the information in Visage interesting and
entertaining, or useless and inaccurate. Visage makes only general
statements about the validity of the information, and provides the
interpretations people have claimed for facial features. It includes
information about the general level of soundness of the
The demonstration application shows the kinds of data that are
incorporated into the database. Physiognomy is related to a number of psychological and other
concepts that have not been structured into a database-compatible
format. Some of these concepts are listed
- Personality People have thought since ancient times that
the face reflects the personality of the individual. Personality
refers to enduring traits or characteristics of the person, not
merely to an ability to impress others. Both facial appearance and personality are products of biological inheritance and the
environment in which the person develops.
- Countenance Also, the database has information about the
countenance of the face. The face is viewed by others who find
meaning in it. The countenance of the face refers to visible
facial appearance and how other people interpret it. People
attribute meaning to faces intuitively, whether the interpretation is
correct or not. Visage tells you what interpretations other people
might make of the face you describe, and whether this interpretation
is likely to be correct.
- Contingencies The face could predict the person's fate or
destiny. Life is a continuous cycle of birth and death. People and
their faces are molded to fit this cycle.

Word Origin & History
"hindmost part of an animal," O.E. tægl, tægel, from P.Gmc. *tagla- (cf. O.H.G. zagal, Ger. Zagel "tail," dialectal Ger. Zagel "penis," O.N. tagl "horse's tail"), from PIE *doklos, from base *dek- "something long and thin" (referring to such things as fringe, lock of hair, horsetail; cf.
O.Ir. dual "lock of hair," Skt. dasah "fringe, wick"). The primary sense, at least in Gmc., seems to have been "hairy tail," or just "tuft of hair," but already in O.E. the word was applied to the hairless "tails" of worms, bees, etc. Another O.E. word for "tail" was steort (see stark). Meaning "reverse side of a coin" is from 1680s; that of "backside of a person, buttocks" is recorded from c.1300; slang sense of "pudenda" is from mid-14c.; that of "woman as sex object" is from 1933, earlier "prostitute" (1846). The tail-race (1776) is the part of a mill race below the wheel. To turn tail "take flight" (1580s) originally was a term in falconry. The image of the tail wagging the dog is attested from 1907.
"limitation of ownership," a legal term, 1321 in Anglo-Fr.; 1284 in Anglo-L., in most cases an aphetic form of entail.
"follow secretly," U.S. colloquial, 1907, is from earlier sense of "follow or drive cattle," from tail (n.1). Tail off "diminish" is attested from 1854.

tail (tāl) Pronunciation Key
 1. The rear, elongated part of many animals, extending beyond the trunk or main part of the body. Tails are used variously for balance, combat, communication, mating displays, fat storage, propulsion and course correction in water, and course correction in air.
 2. A long, stream of gas or dust forced from the head of a comet when it is close to the Sun. Tails can be up to 150 million km (93 million miles) long, and they always point away from the Sun because of the force of the solar wind. ◇ Plasma tails, or ion tails, appear bluish and straight and narrow, and are formed when solar wind forces ionized gas to stream off the coma. Dust tails are wide and curved, and are formed when solar heat forces trails of dust off the coma; solid particles reflecting the Sun's light create their bright yellow color.

Dynamic Kubelet Configuration
Dynamic Kubelet Configuration
Author: Michael Taufen (Google)
Why Dynamic Kubelet Configuration?
Kubernetes provides API-centric tooling that significantly improves workflows for managing applications and infrastructure. Most Kubernetes installations, however, run the Kubelet as a native process on each host, outside the scope of standard Kubernetes APIs.
In the past, this meant that cluster administrators and service providers could not rely on Kubernetes APIs to reconfigure Kubelets in a live cluster. In practice, this required operators to either ssh into machines to perform manual reconfigurations, use third-party configuration management automation tools, or create new VMs with the desired configuration already installed, then migrate work to the new machines. These approaches are environment-specific and can be expensive.
Dynamic Kubelet configuration gives cluster administrators and service providers the ability to reconfigure Kubelets in a live cluster via Kubernetes APIs.
What is Dynamic Kubelet Configuration?
Kubernetes v1.10 made it possible to configure the Kubelet via a beta config file API. Kubernetes already provides the ConfigMap abstraction for storing arbitrary file data in the API server.
Dynamic Kubelet configuration extends the Node object so that a Node can refer to a ConfigMap that contains the same type of config file. When a Node is updated to refer to a new ConfigMap, the associated Kubelet will attempt to use the new configuration.
How does it work?
Dynamic Kubelet configuration provides the following core features:
 - Kubelet attempts to use the dynamically assigned configuration.
 - Kubelet "checkpoints" configuration to local disk, enabling restarts without API server access.
 - Kubelet reports assigned, active, and last-known-good configuration sources in the Node status.
 - When invalid configuration is dynamically assigned, Kubelet automatically falls back to a last-known-good configuration and reports errors in the Node status.
To use the dynamic Kubelet configuration feature, a cluster administrator or service provider will first post a ConfigMap containing the desired configuration, then set each Node.Spec.ConfigSource.ConfigMap reference to refer to the new ConfigMap. Operators can update these references at their preferred rate, giving them the ability to perform controlled rollouts of new configurations.
Each Kubelet watches its associated Node object for changes. When the Node.Spec.ConfigSource.ConfigMap reference is updated, the Kubelet will "checkpoint" the new ConfigMap by writing the files it contains to local disk. The Kubelet will then exit, and the OS-level process manager will restart it. Note that if the Node.Spec.ConfigSource.ConfigMap reference is not set, the Kubelet uses the set of flags and config files local to the machine it is running on.
Once restarted, the Kubelet will attempt to use the configuration from the new checkpoint. If the new configuration passes the Kubelet's internal validation, the Kubelet will update Node.Status.Config to reflect that it is using the new configuration. If the new configuration is invalid, the Kubelet will fall back to its last-known-good configuration and report an error in Node.Status.Config.
Note that the default last-known-good configuration is the combination of Kubelet command-line flags with the Kubelet's local configuration file. Command-line flags that overlap with the config file always take precedence over both the local configuration file and dynamic configurations, for backwards-compatibility.
See the following diagram for a high-level overview of a configuration update for a single Node:
How can I learn more?
Please see the official tutorial at /docs/tasks/administer-cluster/reconfigure-kubelet/, which contains more in-depth details on user workflow, how a configuration becomes "last-known-good," how the Kubelet "checkpoints" config, and possible failure modes.

This paper explores the mobilities and structural moorings of Thai labour migrants in Singapore from a translocal perspective. We argue that combining the mobilities paradigm with the concept of translocality offers a fruitful avenue of investigation not only of the production of translocal spaces, but also of their temporality and mutability. Through a multi-sited research approach we shed light on the genesis as well as the decay of translocal connections. This paper shows that translocal structures are important moorings of migration, and raises the question of what happens to translocal spaces when migration flows dissolve.

How to execute multiple commands through a text file with a Domino server
Technote (FAQ)
Is it possible to execute scripts or a list of commands through a text file on a Domino server?
You can create a text file that lists the commands you would like to execute on the Domino server. The commands which you can include can be anything that can be typed at the server's console. To load the script you must use the < command (less-than symbol), followed by a blank space, and then the name of the text file you created. For example, if you need to execute these commands:
you can create a file called F:\MYFILE.TXT, and within this text file, enter the commands that are to be executed. After you save the.TXT file, enter the following at the Domino server console:
If there is more than one command in the.TXT file, they will be executed in the order in which they appear in the.TXT file.
All commands in the.TXT file could be encapsulated with
start consolelog
in the first line and in the last line
stop consolelog
to write the output into the console.log file.
Note: "stop consolelog" will close any logging launched manually or by CONSOLE_LOG_ENABLED=1 in notes.ini.
These type of batch files are not supported by Lotus.

- Much of the research and development for tires focuses on enhancing these key performance characteristics: Abrasion resistance, rolling resistance, and wet traction.
 - Turbostratic graphene can potentially enhance these key desired performance characteristics while also improving the overall cost/performance balance. Additionally, used tires could become a carbon source for the Flash Graphene process thus improving overall sustainability for this industry.

How often do you find yourself calling $() with an empty object as an argument? – nnnnnn Dec 22 at 11:24
_USER_ Actually never (I don't use jQuery anymore). But I guess 3 years ago I had a case of exposing an API that would take a selector and return the number of elements for that selector. If another dev would pass in an empty object, it would incorrectly respond with 1. – Oleg Dec 22 at 15:03
$(selector).length && //Do something
share|improve this answer
You could use this:
 exists: function() { return this.length }
if($(selector).exists()){do something}
share|improve this answer
I had a case where I wanted to see if an object exists inside of another so I added something to the first answer to check for a selector inside the selector..
// Checks if an object exists.
// Usage:
// $(selector).exists()
// Or:
// $(selector).exists(anotherSelector);
jQuery.fn.exists = function(selector) {
 return selector? this.find(selector).length : this.length;
share|improve this answer
You can save a few bytes by writing:
if ($(selector)[0]) {... }
This works because each jQuery object also masquerades as an array, so we can use the array dereferencing operator to get the first item from the array. It returns undefined if there is no item at the specified index.
share|improve this answer
How about:
function exists(selector) {
 return $(selector).length;
if (exists(selector)) {
 // do something
It's very minimal and saves you having to enclose the selector with $() every time.
share|improve this answer
I like this approach – Akmur Mar 18 at 14:13
if ( $('_TAG_').size() > 0 ) { //do something }
size() counts the number of elements returned by the selector

_USER_ I don't know where you get your information from, but.size() does nothing more than return.length. There's a reason it's deprecated – Ian Jun 3 '13 at 21:41
You are correct, but calling.length, being a property, requires slightly less overhead than a function call to.size(). My bad. – Furbeenator Jun 5 '13 at 18:30

Is $.contains() what you want?
jQuery.contains( container, contained )
The $.contains() method returns true if the DOM element provided by the second argument is a descendant of the DOM element provided by the first argument, whether it is a direct child or nested more deeply. Otherwise, it returns false. Only element nodes are supported; if the second argument is a text or comment node, $.contains() will return false.
Note: The first argument must be a DOM element, not a jQuery object or plain JavaScript object.

NOW it is an answer – mplungjan Dec 17 '13 at 8:49
i always use
if ( $(selector)[0] ){}
thats nice and short
share|improve this answer
The reason all of the previous answers require the.length parameter is that they are mostly using jquery's $() selector which has querySelectorAll behind the curtains (or they are using it directly). This method is rather slow because it needs to parse the entire DOM tree looking for all matches to that selector and populating an array with them.
The ['length'] parameter is not needed or useful and the code will be a lot faster if you directly use document.querySelector(selector) instead, because it returns the first element it matches or null if not found.
function elementIfExists(selector){ //named this way on purpose, see below
 return document.querySelector(selector);
/* usage: */
var myelement = elementIfExists("_TAG_") || myfallbackelement;
However this method leaves us with the actual object being returned; which is fine if it isn't going to be saved as variable and used repeatedly (thus keeping the reference around if we forget).
var myel=elementIfExists("_TAG_");
// now we are using a reference to the element which will linger after removal
console.log(elementIfExists("_TAG_")); /* null */
console.log(myel); /* giant table lingering around detached from document */
myel=null; /* now it can be garbage collected */
In some cases this may be desired. It can be used in a for loop like this:

If you don't actually need the element and want to get/store just a true/false, just double not it!! It works for shoes that come untied, so why knot here?
function elementExists(selector){
 return!!document.querySelector(selector);

In JavaScript you can do it this way :
if(document.querySelectorAll('*')!=null) { // It exists }

I stumbled upon this question and i'd like to share a snippet of code i currently use:
$.fn.exists = function(callback) {
 var self = this;
 var wrapper = (function(){
 function notExists () {}
 notExists.prototype.else = function(fallback){
 if (!self.length) {
 return new notExists;
 if(self.length) {
 return wrapper;
And now i can write code like this -
 alert ("it exists");
 alert ("it doesn't exist");
What's more exciting about this stuff is how it's written in CoffeeScript:
$.fn.exists = (callback) ->
 exists = _USER_
 callback.call() if exists
 new class
 else: (fallback) ->
 fallback.call() if not exists

I find OP's original approach not only to be much more minimal but more elegant than this. Seems like overkill to write this much code when OP's method is shorter, and doesn't involve callbacks. – Lev Aug 5 at 7:31
For simple cases - you're right. But for more complex situations involving a lot of code on both cases i think my approach is better. – Eternal1 Aug 5 at 7:38

Jesus emerged in the sky: Rome Italy
Thousand of Europeans observed glowing and bright shine of Jesus emerging clouds out of the sky in Rome Italy. Moment strengthened the faith of Jesus in their Hearts like never before. many Europeans cried and put the list of wishes, desires, and problems to Jesus and asked for forgiveness. Many people claimed this as unicorn moment in their life and believed them as extremely lucky souls. They hoped Jesus noted there demands and wishes and they expect their life would be better in the future.
Roughly it happened 4 decades back in France Europe that time and people who witnessed had same reaction. They believe the generation who got a chance to witness this moment or in any other way considered as special people. This time in Italy hundreds of witnesses claims to have a better future after Jesus assure them to be blessed.
jesus 22.jpg
Dramatic pictures have emerged showing what looks like a glowing image of Jesus above an Italian town as sunlight broke through the clouds. Alfredo Lo Brutto, from Agropoli, Italy, captured the figure bursting through grey skies above the sea while at his home. The shape created by the spectacular light show, at sunset on Friday, seemed to resemble the renowned Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

text: In this paper, a high-performance optimal fractional emotional intelligent controller for an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) in power system using Cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA) is proposed. AVR is the main controller within the excitation system that preserves the terminal voltage of a synchronous generator at a specified level. The proposed control strategy is based on brain emotional learning, which is a self-tuning controller so-called brain emotional learning based intelligent controller (BELBIC) and is based on sensory inputs and emotional cues. The major contribution of the paper is that to use the merits of fractional order PID (FOPID) controllers, a FOPID controller is employed to formulate stimulant input (SI) signal. This is a distinct advantage over published papers in the literature that a PID controller used to generate SI. Furthermore, another remarkable feature of the proposed approach is that it is a model-free controller. The proposed control strategy can be a promising controller in terms of simplicity of design, ease of implementation and less time-consuming. In addition, in order to enhance the performance of the proposed controller, its parameters are tuned by COA. In order to design BELBIC controller for AVR system a multi-objective optimization problem including overshoot, settling time, rise time and steady-state error is formulated. Simulation studies confirm that the proposed controller compared to classical PID and FOPID controllers introduced in the literature shows superior performance regarding model uncertainties. Having applied the proposed controller, the rise time and settling time are improved 47% and 57%, respectively.

Three dimensional numerical modelling was used to examine the fracture responses around cavities in rock masses experiencing the stress of excavation. In addition to the primary fracture zone in the near-field, numerical modelling generated a second fracture zone in the far-field and an elastic non-fracture zone between the two fields, i.e., fracture and non-fracture zones occurred alternately around a deep cavity. Further research illustrated that the dynamic load and static stress gradient are two necessary precursors for a far-field fracture in the excavation process. Neither quasi-static loading nor homogeneous stress conditions could induce a far-field fracture. A simple theory is introduced, suggesting that multiple fracture zones occur during excavation due to both the initial stress gradient and the dynamic load. This finding indicates that it may be possible to induce continuous rock fractures in deep underground rock masses by employing optimal excavation methods to generate multiple contiguous fracture zones. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Pakistan's Daily Times has the scoop on China's newest museum;
China is building a giant underwater museum to preserve and exhibit an ancient shipwreck. The museum, the first of its kind in the world, is to contain a sunken ship more than 800 years old and its treasures.
Archaeologists say the ship is China's most exciting underwater excavation. Named the Southern Sea Number One, it lies under 24 metres of water and two metres of sand and soil.
Archaeologists took more than 6,000 treasures from one small room on the ship in 2002. The Guangdong provincial government has now allocated £10 million to building a five hall underwater museum to preserve the wreck.
Expert's say, "Since the ship and its treasures have become accustomed to being underwater, it's better to keep them there." Read More…

text: Time-domain diffuse correlation spectroscopy (TD-DCS) is a newly emerging optical technique that exploits pulsed, yet coherent light to non-invasively resolve the blood flow in depth. In this work, we have explored TD-DCS at longer wavelengths compared to those previously used in literature (i.e., 750–850 nm). The measurements were performed using a custom-made titanium-sapphire mode-locked laser, operating at 1000 nm, and an InGaAs photomultiplier as a detector. Tissue-mimicking phantoms and in vivo measurements during arterial arm cuff occlusion in n = 4 adult volunteers were performed to demonstrate the proof of concept. We obtained a good signal-to-noise ratio, following the hemodynamics continuously with a relatively fast (1 Hz) sampling rate. In all the experiments, the auto-correlation functions show a decay rate approximately five-fold slower compared to shorter wavelengths. This work demonstrates the feasibility of in vivo TD-DCS in this spectral region and its potentiality for biomedical applications.

Differences in Execution Flow
Why would a program not yield any errors, and yet not run on one system, while resulting in a perfect run (unchanged) on another system? Specifically, a switch statement was completely ignored on my system, yet functioned accurately on my professor's.
Yes, it's possible to have the same program behave differently on different machines. There could be many reasons for this. For example, if the program is implicitly linked with certain runtime libraries (or DLL's) that are not identical on both machines, the same program can exhibit different behavior when it executes on different machines.
Likewise, certain applications access environment variables that might differ from one machine to another. An example of such a variable can be "IP_ADDRESS" or even USER. Since the values of these variables can be different on each machine, the result of a conditional statement that checks their values can also differ.
Finally, the code can be run by different users, who have different privileges. These privileges can affect the program's execution flow, too. Suppose the program tries to read a file. If a user with insufficient privileges attempts to execute the program from her account, the program will not be able to open the file, while a user with sufficient privileges can execute the program and have it open that file successfully.

Calcium silicate against clay brick masonry: an experimental comparison of the in-plane behaviour during light damage
Research output: Contribution to journalArticleScientificpeer-review
25 Downloads (Pure)
Abstract
The north of the Netherlands is prone to frequent, light earthquakes linked to economical losses and societal unrest due to the induced seismicity in the region. These light earthquakes produce correspondingly low values of in-plane drift on the typical masonry structures of the region, many of which are built with cavity walls composed of an inner, load-bearing calcium-silicate masonry leaf, and an outer, exposed fired-clay masonry veneer. To assess the resulting damage from the lighter earthquakes, it is thus necessary to understand the difference in behaviour of the inner and the outer masonry leaves when exposed to the same drift values. Experimental tests of replicated, full-scale calcium-silicate brick walls and spandrels are detailed herein and compared to previously tested clay masonry samples. A purposely developed, scalar damage parameter is used to assess the width, number and length of the cracks to objectively quantify damage. High resolution digital image correlation is used to accurately monitor the initiation and propagation of cracks. The experiments reveal that calcium-silicate samples exhibit slightly greater damage than clay samples when subjected to the same in-plane drift. From the tests, drift values for light damage or 'damage state one' are set between 0.15 and 0.65‰ for the type of wall tested. Moreover, in these tests, cracks in calcium-silicate samples were significantly more likely to split brick units, whereas cracks in the type of clay samples employed, always followed the masonry joints. This fundamental difference in the light-damage behaviour between the two materials is of importance when considering the perception of damage, the strategies and cost of the repairs, and the strategies for strengthening of masonry structures with cavity walls resembling the type of masonry tested herein.

text: A new methodology is proposed to mitigate the high computation cost required to derive accurate Monte Carlo (MC) based system matrix for tomographic image reconstruction. The strategy consists of taking advantage of the symmetries between the lines of response to increase the statistics of data collected for the determination of the system matrix coefficients. By using the rotation and axial symmetries of a cylindrical camera, the number of MC generated events can be reduced substantially without affecting the matrix coefficient accuracy. Moreover, using the GATE simulator list-mode saving capabilities for storing coincidence events, single events and/or single hits with all their relevant information, the MC simulation can be performed only once and system matrices for different system configurations be derived from the same simulation. Using for example Positron emission tomography (PET), the processing of the collected MC data can be fine tuned to the imaging system characteristics by setting accordingly the time and energy blurring, the detector efficiencies, the coincidence time window width and the energy thresholds. The system matrix can also include or exclude PET events like scatters and randoms. Furthermore, the system matrix can be computed for different image grids and basis functions without requiring a new MC simulation to be performed.

NewYork-Presbyterian, which currently uses Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Enterprise Security to monitor IT security operations, concluded that the same principles could be used to build a platform to more closely safeguard controlled substances and other medications, including opioids, and ultimately benefit the greater healthcare community as a public good, the health system said.
The enhanced Splunk controlled substance monitoring platform, which is expected to be implemented this spring, will enable NewYork-Presbyterian to track data from electronic health records, EPCS platforms, pharmacy dispensing systems and other sources, delivering insights that can help guard against the diversion of these medications.
With the enhanced system, NewYork-Presbyterian will be able to see if drugs are being diverted for potentially illegitimate purposes, according to Splunk. For example, the platform will immediately alert NewYork-Presbyterian if a physician were to prescribe a controlled substance to a patient not currently in the care of the hospital, or if a pharmacy technician were to use an automated dispensary cabinet more often than his or her peers.
In addition, the technology will be used to safeguard against the diversion of other high-cost medications, such as certain anti-cancer drugs that can be priced at tens of thousands of dollars per month, the vendor added.
A responsibility to safeguard against diversion
"At a time when overdose deaths are at crisis levels across the country and in New York City, largely due to the opioid epidemic, healthcare providers have a responsibility to safeguard against any potential diversion of drugs," said Jennings Aske, senior vice president and chief information security officer at NewYork-Presbyterian.

"NewYork-Presbyterian is taking a leading role in protecting the public by implementing highly effective controls to avoid the illegitimate use of controlled substances," he added. "Ultimately, we hope that other hospitals benefit from this new platform as well."
NewYork-Presbyterian and Splunk also are developing an enhanced data analytics tool to expand proactive security measures to protect patient privacy and investigate unauthorized access to electronic patient records from internal and external sources. NewYork-Presbyterian currently has an established set of policies, protocols and system controls to protect patient information.
The enhanced privacy platform will add even more safeguards, including the ability to issue alerts in real time if someone were to inappropriately view patient records, according to Splunk, which notes that the platform has a user-friendly dashboard so hospital privacy officers can easily and quickly conduct investigations.

Hours of Study
Our study program is serious and intensive, yet is structured to allow for regular study on-line while also working or fulfilling other responsibilities. It is ideal for those who like self-study, yet desire a certain structure and guidance along the way.
The first three levels of Romantic Science set the foundations for later study. They represent the equivalent of approximately 2 years of post-secondary, college-level study, roughly about 1800 hours of study-equivalent.
Each of the specific streams of RomanticScience Healthcare represent a further 2000 hours of study time. In addition each Clinical Internship is approximately 1500 hours of training.
Completion of a Medicine or Regimen Practitioner Program is roughly equivalent to a four-year college diploma. This represents a significant achievement. Our students are justifiably proud of their certificates and diplomas.
However, study is structured so that this can be done over time, at your pace and while also working or practicing. Once you have achieved a practitioner level diploma in one stream, you can start a practice while continuing to work on furthering your studies and training.

edge thickness between any two helium atoms using the wireframe command, as well as the color of this edge with the color bonds command. Finally, we can define the size of the label accompanying the atom/node with the font label command.
So let's how it works.
select _He; spacefill 0.2; wireframe 10; color bonds blue; font label 10;
select _Na; spacefill 0.4; wireframe 12; color bonds purple; font label 12;
select _O; spacefill 0.6; wireframe 14; color bonds red; font label 14;
select _Au; spacefill 0.8; wireframe 16; color bonds yellow; font label 16;
select _P; spacefill 1.0; wireframe 18; color bonds orange; font label 18;
select _Cl; spacefill 1.5; wireframe 20; color bonds green; font label 20;
Figure 2B shows the results of the script above (with zoomed in). In case that we are not interested in all labels, e.g., for nodes that do not have many interacting partners, we can remove some of the labels using the label hide command (Figure 2C and 2D):
select _He; label hide;
select _Na; label hide;
select _O; label hide

Network visualization – part 3: Hive plots
In the third part of "how to quickly visualize networks directly from R" series, I'll write about the hive plots and "HiveR" package. The concept of hive plots is fundamentally different from the Cytoscape and Gephi plots.
Cytoscape and Gephi use a number of layout algorithms to plot networks as node-edge diagrams in the Euclidean plane. The layout algorithms determine node (and edge) positions based on various criteria, e.g., the number of direct interacting partners, smallest number of edge crossings, or similar edge length between all nodes. Clearly, the resulting plots are sensitive to changes and even a small change in underlying topology can lead to a change in the final layout. For this reason, it is hard to assess how similar (or different) two networks are solely based on their resulting layouts/plots. Additionally, standard network layouts generally work well for visualization of small/medium size networks, while visualization of large network often results in the "hairball" network plots that lack identifiable structural patterns.
Conversely to standard network plots (i.e., layout algorithms), the goal of hive plots is to capture and expose both trends and patterns in network structure that arise from large number of nodes and edges, rather than solely representing network structure in the form of node-edge diagrams. Thus, in the hive plots individual nodes and edges are not as important as individual elements, but as parts of a system.
Hive plots map nodes onto radially distributed linear axes and edges between nodes are drawn as curved links that connect the axes. Nodes are assigned to axes and position along the axis (denoted as the radius) based on their qualitative or quantitative properties, e.g., network structure, node, edge annotation, or any other meaningful properties of the network. Thus, using hive plots, users can create their own rules for a mapping between the network properties of interest and layout. As such, hive plots give users the ability to assess network structure using network properties they are interested in, as well as the ability to compare two networks based on the selected properties.
To demonstrate how this works, I will use the same network I used to demonstrate network visualization in Cytoscape – the weighted

Quality of life, perceived stigma, activity and participation of people with leprosy-related disabilities in South-East Nepal
In Nepal, many people live with leprosy-related disabilities. The objective of this study was to evaluate differences in socio-economic characteristics, quality of life (QOL), perceived stigma, activity and participation among people affected by leprosy as a group and between this group and the general population, and to identify prime determinants of QOL among the leprosy-affected people. People with leprosy-related disabilities (N=100; 54DGI/46DGII) and community controls (N=100) were selected from Morang district, South-East Nepal, using quota sampling. QOL, perceived stigma and participation and activity limitations were measured using the Nepali abbreviated version of the World Health Organisation Quality of Life (WHOQOL) assessment and the Nepali versions of the Jacoby Scale, Participation Scale and Green Pastures Activity Scale (GPAS), respectively. Total QOL, participation and activity levels of people affected by leprosy were worse than those of the general population. Regression analysis showed that the ability to maintain a family, satisfaction with health, vocational training, sex, activity and participation limitations (the latter for QOL only), perceived stigma and living situation (i.e. joint family, type of house) were significantly associated with a deterioration in QOL and higher participation restriction in one or both of the grading groups. There is an urgent need for interventions focused on quick referral of people with leprosy, to minimize the development of visible impairments, and social rehabilitation. The latter can be achieved by creating more public awareness, providing (financial) support for income generating projects and /or vocational training to leprosy- affected people, and by encouraging them to be involved in all community development activities. The current results indicate that such measures would help improve the quality of life of people with leprosy-related disabilities.


How To Make Rice Wine Without Yeast
Ingredients you will need:
The minimal amount of ingredients you will be needing are simple and readily available
1. Sticky or muggy rice (2 cups)
2. One wine ball (mold)
Directions for the process:
Step 1
The first thing you need to do is to wash and clean the rice. For this purpose, fill the computing cup with cups of water and wash them thoroughly under the tap water in a sink basin. Wash them until the water runs clear. Prefer to use the muggy water as it generates delicious taste as compared to the plain rice.
Step 2
After you are done cleaning and washing the rice, keep them in boiling water for about an hour. The muggy rice you chose, cooks better after it has been flooded with water. When you are done keeping the rice in water for solid one hour, take them out using a strainer or a filter to get rid of the excess water.
Step 3
Take a steamer and boil 2 cups of water at its base, if do not possess a steamer then it is also okay as you can see use a pan (preferably an average size) to boil water.
Step 4
Give steam to the rice.
Step 5
When you notice that the water is starting to bubble, place the rice at the top section of the steamer and let it thoroughly fog for 25 to 30 minutes. If you are not using a steamer then you can set a strainer full of rice over the boiling hot water in the pan. However, you need to make sure one thing the rice do not feel the boiling, hot water. Place the lid of the pan and let the rice fog for about 25 minutes as explained above.
Step 6
After you done waiting for the steaming of the rice for approx. 25 mins. Remove the lid of the steamer and view the rice. If you still find them a little a crispy or solid, spin them over with the help of heatproof utensil, let the rice vapor a little more, and check every five minutes to see if the process is completed. Remove the rice from warmth when you are done having them steamed properly. Increase the rice on the cooking piece. When the rice has end baking, spoon the rice out on the cooking piece and let them cool properly. Before beginning the fermentation process, it is necessary to cool the properly and disperse the rice to displace the warmth properly among the rice.
Step 7
The fermentation process will take plenty of time so it needs patience but it will be worth the wait. As the rice wine can be decorated in different ways you can choose the one the suits you. You can select the same design and style bowls in which you processed the rice and then swirl it on a dish, you will achieve the for you will desire. In addition to, you can for the balls in various shapes, such as rabbit shape and soft bear toys and lots of different designs and styles.
Step 8
You can be creative and think of other unique and innovative ways to make your food more aesthetically pleasing such using chilies, coriander, cucumber and lots of different things.

One man in Scotland is apparently building an underground bunker tourism empire. James Mitchell, who runs "Scotland's Secret Bunker," is planning to open another Cold War relic as a museum, according to the Scotsman. This one in Edinburgh, known as the Barnton Quarry Nuclear Bunker, was constructed in 1952 as a safe place to maintain power for the British government, with three stories of rooms to house the royal family, military and government officials, and even staff from the BBC.
Barnton Quarry hasn't been used since 1914, and before the bunker was built 100 feet below the earth there was an RAF fighter control center built on the land during WWII (it's still there, covered in graffiti). The bunker was completely a secret until 1963, when a group called Spies for Peace released the information to the public.
While it's long been popular for urban exploration (check out Secret Scotland for some great information), fires in 1991 and 1993 blamed on illegal raves caused it to be filled with asbestos. When the museum will open and how Mitchell will clean up the site remains to be announced, but for now you can glimpse the interior through the amazing photos of people who risked their health to plunge into the depths of the nuclear bunker fit for a Queen (warning, this video from an urban explorer has some kind of intense music):

In this paper, we re-examine the properties of two commonly adopted government reimbursement schemes for pharmaceuticals: reference pricing and fixed percentage reimbursement. We depart from the previous literature by assuming that the individual demand is price-sensitive and depends on the copayment rate (i.e., the part paid by each consumer). We obtain two novel results under reference pricing: first, as the copayment rate increases, so do pharmaceutical prices; second, this increase in pharmaceutical prices reduces social welfare. Whilst reference pricing does emerge as a preferable reimbursement scheme, demand elasticities and the copayment rate interact in complex ways. This leads (unexpectedly) to the possibility that a higher copayment rate (lower reimbursement rate) results in higher government expenditure.
